Africans, Afro-Americans, Colored People or American Negroes? J. W. E. Bowen, D. D., Ph. D., Editor of Voice of the Negro, writes on the Subject in January Number. WHO A Africans, Afro-Americans, O Negroes? J. W. E. Bo tor of Voice of the N Subject in Jan Any attempt to define a race without a knowledge of anthropology and its correlated branches, and of philosophy; or to define according to the public prejudices of the day, exposes one to the merciless ridicule and sarcasm of science. Some years ago two such efforts appeared: The one, dignified in a book; the other published in the Quarterly Review of the African mothodist Episcopal Church. The book was by a white man; the article by a black man; The Negro located the origin of the white man in the leprosy of Gehazi. His nonchalance in the delivery of such an original opinion upon so difficult a subject was, to say the least, remarkable. He wrote with the flippancy and superficiality of a novice. The other writer, an Episcopal clergyman, endeavored to reproduce, under the stamp of originality, the unreasonable and illogical views of the late Prof. Winchell upon the Adamic and non-Adamic races. His sophomoric opinions respecting the Negro, reviving the ante-bellum ethnology concerning the black man was an anachronism of ignorance. But to discuss these opinions, so innocent of reason, would be to dignify them and bring them into the notice of sensible men. Let us pass on. The science of ethnology, through dignified as a science, is still in swaddling bands. It is very risky, except upon the open way of knowledge, to pronounce with any degree of certainty. And when we come to the particular ethnological description of the African, 'tis then, more than at any other time, that the science discloses its inaccuracies and reveals the shackles that bind its arm. The "African" is still the sphinx in literature as well as in philosophy. The ancient anthropological description of the Negro finds rare verification in America, and even when applied to the natives of Africa, it is not universally true. The ancient Negro type of Africa is a curiosity in America. But difficult as it is to define the myriad peoples of Africa, the Negro in America furnishes a task no less difficult. Suffice at this time to say, that this work has been under- --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATI RACI ORAD HE JOURNA ARE WE? Colored People or American wen. D. D., Ph.

Several things must be borne in mind in the study of this subject. First: It is necessary that this biography be kept in mind to understand the full significance of the word under study. Second: While the study of the etymology of a word is a logical and necessary study, this method is not the only one whereby we are to determine the full meaning of a word used today. It becomes, therefore, mere pedanticism to insist that the original etymological meaning of a word is its full meaning. Pedanticism, under such strenuous use, is no more than literary fetichism and this latter should be cast out, for an idol of the woods. Science and usage are to be appealed to, as well as the root-terminology in order that we may know the full meaning of a word. Third: In this country, except for recording in complexity of the origin of our citizenry, it is a waste of time and an un-American practice to be continually harping upon the race origin of the Negro. This is done with reference to him almost exclusively. Negroes display a lack of economic wisdom and fine sensibility by constantly harying about and prating upon either the singularity or complexity of their origin. Every school boy knows that blood that makes the cheek dark or black originated in Africa. Some years ago a distinguished Negro who once held a government position was scrupulously careful when called upon to speak in public to itemize the various bloods that made up his complex personality, and this he did in order to show that he was part white, and for which he should receive special consideration at the hands of the whites. But he was sadly mistaken. Origin is not the greatest thing in personality; present state and character count more than ancient pedigree. Recently an American Negro has attempted to locate himself ethnologically. His effort, like those of certain other writers, brings into notice certain race --- names, which, let us examine. First, he is called an "African." This term refers more to nativity than raceality. The primal or strict philological meaning, as given in the Century Dictionary, is: "Pertaining to the continent, or, in ancient times, of the province of Africa." "Africa" is a wide ethnographical region: An African may be white or black, yellow or brown. In the earliest attempt at classification of the races, the term "African" had simply an ethnographical meaning. Bernier was the first to attempt to locate the races, "whites" in Europe, "yellow" in Asia, and "blacks" in Africa. Linnaeus was the first to attempt an ethnological description of the African, but his use of the term "African" is not philological, but racial. Bugon, Blumenbach, Cuvier, St. Vincent, Desmonlin, Kant, Huxley, Quarterpages, all use the term in its territorial application. When they come to the ethnological description of the races, then the term, by literary consent, is applied to the "black" people of Africa. The warrant is found in the predominance of "blacks" in Africa. Sacred and profane history are full of the records of distinguished "Africans." It remains to be proved, however that Cyrpian, Augustine, Terrence and Hannibal who were Africas; that is, who were native to the soil of Africa, were of one and the same blood, and, consequentially, of one and the same race, or that they belong to the same species of the genus homo that Cetewago, M'tesa and Kahma, who were also Africans, belonged to. I confess to an extreme anxiety for seeing a pure historical effort, approved in its methods by scientific rules, that shall place security such men as mentioned above in the first list as blood relatives, and, therefore, in the same race with Alexander Crummel, Edwin Wilmot Blyden and Moshesh. By no twist of logic or by no rhetorical flourish can it be shown that the term "Africans" is synonymous with the term "Negroes." Second: He is called an "Afro-American." This term is perhaps the least satisfactory and the least sensible. It is an hybridity in philosophy and history and, therefore, is absurd. Blood mixture, when allowable under the moral and civil codes of the land is respectable and has been fruitful of much good, but a literary adultery of philology and history and finally with a violent consorting with curb-stone and newspaper-originating metoric, is a repugnance to clear-thoughted men who respect and logic. What are the possible meanings of this long-headed word? First, the person described may be an African born American; i.e., one born in Africa of American parentage. In such a case he may be "white" or he may be case he may be "black." The term "American" is not a racial term. It is a political word. Second: The words may mean one who is an American-born African; i. e., an individual of African parentage born in America. Ant what is the color of this African parentage? To what race do these "Africans" belong? Such a question may legitimately be asked of Tertullian or Augustine. What is the real relationship of an Afro-Italian and Italio-African? May not either term be applied to Augustine the Bishop of Hippo and be as illuminating as to his race identity as the other pea-in-the-pod "Afro-American" illuminates us upon the race identity of Fredrick Douglas? Which is which, and which is not which? Further, why insist upon "Afro-American" instead of Americo-African except it be that "African" blood, or Negro blood—to use the loose interpretation of the distributors of this hybridity—is more strenuous than the so-called "white-blood." This method of reasoning leads us into a tangle of absurdities and the only sensible thing to do is to throw the baby out with the water. The African-born Americans may be white or black and the most of them live in Africa. They are the immediate children of the American colonists, missionaries and merchants in Africa. Some of them have returned to America and are as truly Afro-American as the children born in India of American parents Indo-American. On the continent of Europe may be found Indo-Europeans, a term which is applied to descendents of Europeans born in India. The like reasoning process would interpret "Afro-Americans" to mean descendents of Americans born in Africa. In recent years another word has come into vogue to apply to the whites, natives of South Africa, or immigrant thereto, the word "Africander." The word was born in the prejudice of those whites against the word "African." When Africa shall come fully into history with world powers on her shores, the descendants of the prejudiced Boers will drop the last syllable of that heathenish and dutchy word. An American born African is an American. The question of nationality here presents itself. Africa is not a nationality. There is no such thing in history as an "African Nation." "Africa" is a vast geographical territory of multitudes of tribal kingdoms, governments and peoples. A nation is a political personality with no exclusive race idea, except among those of the effete East. It may be composite in its political physiognomy because of the complexity of its racial elements, as seen in the English nation and in the American nation; or it may be uniform in its racial caste as seen in the Japanese, the Spanish and the Indian Nation. Dr. Woolsey, in his "Introduction to International Law," thus defines "Nations:" A Nation is an organized community within a certain territory," while Judge Cooley, in his "Principles of Constitutional Law," is even more explicit: "Nation" is nearly synonomous with "People," and in the United States it is applied to the whole body of the people coming under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government." Race is non-essential to nationality. Blood makes a race, but sentiment a nationality. The term "American" used in connection with the term "Afro," in the light of this interpretation, is an absurity on account of its un-American meaning. (Continued to Next Week.)

New York, Dec. 31.—Nearly the entire block in the "San Jaun" district on the west side is to be used for the construction of the second and third huge tenements houses provided for in the $10,000,000 gift made by Henry Phipps. Plans for the structures, to be occupied exclusively by Negroes, were filed to-day. Each building will accommodate 173 families and will contain 510 rooms, larger and more sanitary than the most stringent laws of the tenement house commission demand. The low figure of $1.35 a month for each room will be charged. The apartments contain from two to four rooms each. Private baths are planned for 60 per cent. of the apartments. Gas ranges will be in all of them; steam heat, steam rooms, shower baths, spacious laundries, kindergartens, play grounds, four roof gardens, private halls a foot wider than required by law, windows eight to ten inches in excess to legal demands, and a host of other innovations are provided. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. One of the strong forces at work in making such a brilliant success of the Inter-State Literary convention which convened in Kansas City, Mo., during the holidays was the various highclass talent contributed by Western University Four student literary societies and the Teacher's Reading Circle were represented by fifteen delegates. The fine work of the University quartette and the beautiful sweet solos and duets of Misses Katie Guy, Olva Ellison, Jessie Jennings, Mr. Llyde Andrews and Charles Thurman, with the masterly performance of Prof. R. G, Jackson at the piano, are numbers that fairly captured and charmed the hundreds who attended the sessions of the convention. The orations by Mr. Guy Anderson of the James A. Handy Literary, Mr. Orma Skinner of Dunbar Literary, and Mr. George L. Williams of the Atheneum were among the best rendered. The excellent rendition of "Rosalind's Surrender" Miss Irene Beard of the Douglass Lyceum, called forth great applause and many flattering comments. President Wm. T. Vernon addressed the convention Tuesday evening, December 26th; Rev. E. R. Vaughan officiated in a religious manner; Prof. Albert Ross was appointed and served in a responsible capacity as member of finance committee; Prof. R. G. Jackson was chosen one of the judges in the Original Music contest and Prof. Archie Gregg was elected 1st vice president of the Inter State convention for the incoming year. As a factor in contributing high grade talent to the uplifting and progressive movements of this Western section, Western University stands second to no other Negro educational institution. SHERIFF KILLED IN QU'REL WITH POLICEMAN AT DURANGO. FIGHT AGAINST GAMBLING Sheriff W. J. Thompson Meets Death at Hands of Policeman Jesse C. Stansel—Latter Officer Dangerously Wounded. Denver.—A Republican special from Durango Tuesday says: Sheriff W. J. Thompson was killed to-day and Jesse C. Stansel, a city officer, was dangerously wounded as a result of a revolver duel between the two men. Thompson was shot four times and pounded over the head with a gun by Stansel, and the latter was shot once. The tragedy was the outcome of a fight against gambling. Last September the sheriff ordered all saloon keepers to close their saloons at midnight and on Sundays and ordered that all gambling cease. Since that time there has been two opposing elements, the City Council favoring gambling, it is said. A raid by Sheriff Thompson last night was the cause of to-day's tragedy, which occurred in the street in front of the El Moro saloon. Both men emptied their revolvers and then grappled and fought until separated by friends. Sheriff Thompson lived only a short time. Last night at 11 o'clock Sheriff Thompson went in a back room of the El Moro saloon and caught a crowd gambling. He confiscated a roulette wheel and stated while doing so that the police opposed his efforts to enforce the law. Mischief-makers carried the tale to Stansel, no doubt making it worse than it really was, and when Stansel came down town this morning he said he intended to see the sheriff about the report. They met in front of the El Moro saillon and hot words were exchanged. The preponderance of evidence is that Thompson was drinking some and had been drinking the night before when he raided the gambling joint. According to eye witnesses of the tragedy Thompson turned and started to walk away, but suddenly turned, drew his gun and commenced firing. It is supposed that Stansel said something which caused Thompson to decide to shoot. The men were very close together. They emptied their guns and then pounded each other with the butt end of the guns. John Acord, a man seventy-two years old, was shot by a stray bullet, the ball entering his forearm and ranging upward, shattering the elbow joint. The two officers were separated by friends. After Thompson had been shot four times and badly beaten, he walked a few steps and sank to the sidewalk. Stansel clubbed him with his gun after he was down, according to witnesses. After the fight was over it was noticed that Stansel had two guns which he gave to a by-stander and then asked for a doctor. Thompson was hurried to the Ochsner hospital and breathed his last just as he was being laid on a cot. He was conscious almost up to the last minute. Stansel and Acord were taken to Meroy hospital and Stansel's wound was examined and the bullet removed, it having entered at the right collarbone, extended downward and lodged in the tissues of the right lung. Acord's arm was amputated above the elbow. Ennity had existed between Thompson and Stansel ever since the election a year ago last fall, when both ran for sheriff, Thompson on the Republican ticket and Stansel on the Democratic ticket. Trouble breeders carried false tales to both men and while they were making their canvass they met and agreed to make a clean campaign and be friendly, but the trouble breeders kept busy and disrupted the friendly compact. Thompson frequently charged that the police opposed him in his efforts to enforce the law and these statements were repeated and distorted by the gambling fraternity and their sympathizers, so the breech between the two men grew wider. W. J. Tompson was fifty-four years of age and had lived in this section twenty-six years. During the early days he was in the stock business and rode the range when this was really a tough country; when it was infested with treacherous Indians and outlaws and there were many things to try a man's courage. For the last fifteen years Thompson had acted in the capacity of peace officer the greater part of the time. He has been on the police force several times. He served as deputy sheriff for three years under Joe Smith and a year or two under Joe Alry. He had the reputation of being the biggest sheriff in the state. He was six feet two inches tall and weighed 250 pounds. He was a man of great courage, a terror to the law breakers and never failed to arrest his man if he found him. He leaves a widow, three grown sons and two daughters, one ten years old and the other seventeen. He had suffered a great deal of late from rheumatism and this, coupled with his great size, made him clumsy. Stansel has a wife and five small children. He is a fearless officer, of large physique, much younger than Thompson and very active. Boy Murderers Arraigned. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Charles Essick and Leslie Francisco, the boy murderers of Frank L. Scott, were arraigned before District Judge Lewis Tuesday. By advice of their respective attorneys, the two boys refused to utter a word when questioned by the judge, and the cases were set for January 23d and 24th. Although Essick fired the shot which killed Scott, both are charged with murder. The boys were handcuffed together and as they entered the room Essick brushed past his aged father, who attended the trial. No sign of recognition passed between the two.

On the first floor of many houses there is an unnecessary little room, called through courtesy a den, a library or a reception room As a matter of fact, it is without purpose, and I have never yet been able to understand why an architect should add this superfluous touch; but, since the room is there, it must be considered fittingly furnished. This little room can well be done in bamboo, suggests Vogue. Procure the kind of curtains that are used on piazzas to protect one from the sun and have the room covered in these with strips of bamboo portioning off three-foot spaces and covering the seams; a strip of bamboo is also run at the top, close to the cove of the ceiling, and another finishes the matting at the bottom. High bookcases painted a deep cream stretch along the walls and natural color wicker furniture is effective in such a room. A square table, a lounging chair and a small high backed settle comprise the furnishing. Very coarse mesh curtains are dyed a golden brown, and brown and yellow pottery in quaint shapes is placed on top of the bookcases—a box of flaming red geraniums are the one touch of vivid color in the room. On the table are the latest magazines and periodicals. The little room can thus be used as a restful lounging or waiting room. Some years ago the husband of an Irish lady in Portland, Maine, found himself in difficulty, requiring the services of an attorney. So the wife, who managed affairs, went to a leading concern which she'd employed before, only to find it had been secured by the other side. Inquiring who she'd better employ, Lawyer Peabody, now a justice of the supreme judicial court of Maine, was recommended. He was engaged, but the opposite party won. A few days later an acquaintance, referring to her mistfortune, asked the lady if she had counsel. "Yes, I did," she emphatically replied. "I had Paybody, and I might just as well had nobody." Lady Diana de Vere Huddleston, who died in London recently, left a will bequeathing $90,000 to her servants and directing that her ashes after cremation should be placed in the oak shrine awaiting them at Court'ts Bank and buried with those of her husband, which she had carried with her wherever she went for fifteen years. War Has Helped American Trade. For us at least war in Manchuria seems to be preferable to undisputed Russian occupation.

REVOLUTIONISTS ARE ACTIVE Premier Witte Will Not Relax Order Against Political Meetings—Serious Revolution in Trans-Caucasia—Tiflis Plundered. St. Petersburg.—Premier Witte on Wednesday made an interesting statement to a delegation headed by the mayor of this city which requested the relaxation of the orders of the prefect of police against meetings in the interest of the electoral campaign. The premier could not promise to do anything until after January 32d. Recounting a remarkable incident that heretofore had escaped notice, the premier said: "At one time all the stations except the Nicholas depot were in the hands of the revolutionists. The latter in desperation started a train hauling two cars loaded with dynamite at full speed for the station, with the intention of blowing it up. "A frightful disaster was averted by a timely warning of the plot, which enabled the authorities to have a military train with steam up ready on a parallel track. As the dynamite train arrived soldiers from the military train running alongside fired at the end and managed to pierce the boiler of the locomotive, stopping the train before it reached its destination." In St. Petersburg, the premier further remarked, enough dynamite had been captured to destroy the entire city. It is rumored that the revolutionists are keeping a list of land owners who have fled or are fleeing abroad, with the intention, if the revolution is successful, of confiscating their estates. The news from Trans-Caucasia is that a complete revolution prevails in Mingrelia and Georgia. The vicecyon is withdrawing all the troops attainable north of Vladikavkaz for service in the revolutionary territory. An additional guard of 500 men has been stationed on the Finnish frontier to prevent the importation of arms into Russia. The Ruskoe Slovo prints a telegram from Alexandrovsk, South Russia, saying that the railroad station at Sebastopol, which was in the hands of the revolutionists, has been the scene of desperate fighting between them and the Cossacaks. The station finally was cleared, with the loss of 300 men. The plundering of Tiflis continues. Last night bombs were thrown at a military patrol, whereupon the house from which the bombs were hurled and the adjoining buildings were bombarded by artillery, with the result that many persons were killed or wounded. A house in which an Armenian who had attempted to assassinate an officer had sought refuge was set on fire and the man was burned alive. A squaron of dragoons which was ambushed near Hazenpol, losing two men killed and four wounded, received reinforcements later and surrounded the revolutionists. No quarter was given and the revolutionists, numbering eighty-nine in all, were killed to the last man. A band of fifty revolutionists made a daring raid on Livenhoff with the object of obtaining medicines and bandages for the revolutionists in the field. They carried off two Jewish merchants and held them for a heavy ransom, which was paid. SUGAR BEET RAILROAD. Contract Let on Holly, Holbrook & Big Bend Railroad. Denver.—A Republican special from Holly says that contracts have been let for the first ten miles of the Holly, Holbrook & Big Bend railroad, which will extend from Swink to Holly. Work will begin by the end of this week. Contracts let so far aggregate over $100,000. The Holly Construction Company, which will build the road, has abundant capital at its disposal, and it is said that over $1,000,000 will be spent in building the road and equipping it. The road will do a regular railway business in a fertile, though sparsely settled country, which at the present time has no railroad facilities. Traffic agreements have been made with the Santa Fe company whereby cars for through traffic will be handled on the latter's lines. It is the intention of the Holly Construction Company to use the road primarily for connecting the beet sugar factories of the Holly company and transporting beets to them. The new road will probably bring 40,000 acres of land within shipping distance, and the farmers are giving it a free right of way. Contracts for more than 11,000 acres of beets have been signed for the Swink factory, now under construction. The Big Bend Telephone Company is preparing to extend its lines to Holly, along the line of the new road. The price of land in the Holly country has been raised $25 an acre. Even at this increase, more than 500 acres of land are being sold every week. Electric Light Plant Burned. Denver.—Originating from a defect in the choke colls, fire started at 8 o'clock Saturday night in the plant of the Lacombe Electric Company, West Thirteenth and South First avenue, destroying a large part of the property. The dynamos and switch board, purchased less than six years ago, and said to be the most modern in the West, were damaged by fire and water, and it is thought are beyond repair. The loss, as estimated by Manager O. B. Kohl, is $100,000, two-thirds of which is covered by insurance in three different companies. The city had an option on the plant. Five years ago, when the city granted the Lacombe Electric Company a franchise, the contract provided that the city could take the plant over at its option at the expiration of the first year for $100,000, and that each succeeding year it could be taken over for $10,000 less.

Jacob Borah, the veteran guide of Colorado, who has had charge of more than one of President Roosvelt's famous hunting expeditions in the state, has been granted by the government a special personal license to continue conducting a hunting lodge at Deep Lake, on the White River forest reservation. This is the notice received by Deputy United States District Attorney Knaebel from the secretary of the Department of Agriculture. As a result the proceeding brought by Mr. Knaebel asking that the regular license which was secured by Borah to conduct the lodge in the first place be canceled were dismissed. It seems that Borah once sold the place to other parties, who turned it into a questionable resort. He afterward bought it back, but the forest rangers feared he might sell it again to irresponsible persons and made the application for canceling the license. In the letter of the secretary of agriculture it is stated that the guide has given sufficient personal assurances that he will never again let it go into other hands and would take charge of it in person. The lodge has been for several years the rendezvous of lovers of hunting, and it was through the efforts of some of these that the government granted Borah the privileges which he has obtained. A New Being. Shepard, Ill., Jan. 8th (Special)—Mrs. Sarah E. Rowe, who is residing here, says she feels like "A New Being," although she is in her fifty-seventh year. Why? because she has taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that well known medicine that has put new life into old bodies, and has come as a God-send into homes of sorrow and suffering. She says:— "No one knows what awful torture I suffered with Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble, until I got cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. This grand remedy drove the Rheumatism out of my body, nothing else ever did me any good. Dodd's Kidney Pills are worth one hundred times their price, for they have made me, though I am fifty-seven years old, a new being. I am in better shape now than I have been for many years and I owe it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills." NEGRO BUSINESS MAN. Raised Seventy-two Thousand Bushels of Potatoes Last Year. Booker T. Washington has an article in the American Illustrated Magazine for January, entitled "The Negro in Business." He tells of the really remarkable success of a particular negro, Groves by name, and then tells what Groves says about it. Mr. Washington says: But why is Mr. Groves called "The Negro Potato King?" Let me answer. Last year he produced upon his farm 72,150 bushels of white potatoes, averaging 245 bushels to the acre. So far as reports show, this was 12,150 bushels more than any other individual grower in the world produced. And besides the potatoes raised on his own farm, Mr. Groves buys and ships potatoes on a large scale. Last year he bought from white growers in the Kaw Valley, and shipped away twenty-two cars of white potatoes. He also bought fourteen cars of fancy seed potatoes in North and South Dakota, which he sold to growers in the Kaw Valley, and in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. Mr. Groves says that he ships potatoes and other farm products to nearly every portion of the United States, and to Mexico and Canada. At the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League in New York, Mr. Groves was asked how he was able to conduct so varied and large business enterprises, when he had had no education as a business man. "You have children, haven't you?" Mr. Groves replied. "Yes," said the other. "Some of them are grown up now." "How do you manage your grown-up children?" "Oh, I get along with them," replied his friend, laughing. "You see I have known them a long time." "That's just the way with my business," said Mr. Groves. "I started in with it when it was a baby, and I've had a chance to get thoroughly acquainted with it as it grew up." INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION. How Food Headed Off the Insidious Disease. The happy wife of a good old fashioned Michigan farmer says: "In the spring of 1902 I was taken sick—a general breaking down, as it were. I was excessively nervous, could not sleep well at night, my food seemed to do me no good, and I was so weak I could scarcely walk across the room. "The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confinement and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect—in fact, I seemed to grow worse. "Then I determined to quit all medicines, give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times a day. "The effect was surprising! I began to gain flesh and strength forthwith, my nerves quieted down and grew normally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me. In six weeks' time I discharged the hired girl and commenced to do my own housework for a family of six. This was two years ago, and I am doing it still and enjoy it."

NO SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE Kansas City, Topeka, Lincoln and St. Joseph All Touched by the Terrestrial Tremor. Kansas City.—A distinct earthquake shock, with a motion from north to south, lasting from twenty-three seconds to one minute in duration, was felt in western Missouri, eastern Kansas and southern Nebraska about 6:17 o'clock Sunday evening. The territory affected extends from Nebraska on the north nearly to the Oklahoma and Indian Territory line on the south, and from Salina, Kansas, on the west to Kansas City, St. Joseph and Joplin, Missouri, on the east. With the exception of the knocking of plaster from walls at some points in Kansas, no damage was reported, although persons ran to the streets at some places, in fear that their houses would tumble in. No damage was done here, but the movement, which appeared to be from north to south, lasted about twenty-three seconds and was sufficiently strong to shake chandeliers and rattle dishes. Topeka, Kan.—A slight shock of earthquake was distinctly observed here and throughout eastern Kansas at 6:15 Sunday evening. In some places a second and lighter shock was noted. Neighboring towns are reporting similar conditions by telephone, the most severe experience apparently being at Manhattan, where citizens left their houses in alarm. No damage is reported. Lincoln, Neb.—At 6:30 o'clock Sunday night residents of Lincoln felt an earthquake shock that in several instances shook globes and fastening on chandeliers. No damage is reported. The shock was distinctly felt at Nebraska City and Syracuse, in southeastern Nebraska. It was slight in each instance. St. Joseph.—A distinct earthquake shock was felt here at 6:30 o'clock. Dishes and tinware rattled and small children were frightened. The shock appeared to come from the south and lasted about ten seconds. NEW SUGAR FACTORY. La Junta People Wide Awake and Successful Denver.—A Republican special from La Junta Friday says: The La Junta Board of Trade gave a smoker tonight which was largely attended, nearly 300 citizens being present. The city park addition to La Junta was platted recently. This park contains twenty acres and has a small lake in the center. In the park addition are forty-six residence lots, each purchaser paying $100 each for the lot, and at the smoker to-night the lots were drawn. The deed for each lot contains a provision to the effect that each purchaser shall build a house to cost not less than $1,500. The reports of canvassers who had been soliciting acreage for the proposed beet sugar factory were read and it was found that nearly 600 acres had been pledged. La Junta business men then pledged individually from ten to twenty acres each, which will add 400 acres additional to the amount already pledged. Reports were presented from the Holbrook country that the 2,500 acres pledged from that valley had all been subscribed. These contracts will be placed in the La Junta State bank in escrow until the railroad and the sugar factory are well under way. W. M. Wiley, manager of the Wiley Construction Company, was present and stated that as soon as the contracts were placed in the bank he would wire his company at New York City to place the order for the machinery, which will be done at once. ROUTT COUNTY PROJECT. Fifty Thousand Acres to Be Reclaimed Under Carey Act. Denver.—Fifty thousand acres of land in Colorado are to be reclaimed under the Carey act, and it is the first land so put out by the government. The Carey act has been in effect several years, and in numerous western states land has been reclaimed under it. The land is in Routt county. The project is under the Snake River canal and Slater Creek reservoir. A contract has been entered into between the State Land Board and the Colorado Realty & Securities Company to construct the canal, and active work will be commenced the coming spring. The state has an interest in the work and it is to be done under the direction of the state engineer. The states gets 50 cents from the government for every acre reclaimed, and in addition a large tract of its own land is made valuable. The head of the ditch is at Baggs, in Wyoming, although the land is in this state. It is about thirty miles from Craig and fifteen miles from the Moffat road. The lands are in the heart of what has been known as the winter range of northwestern Colorado. It is at an altitude of about 6,000 feet and the climate and soil such that almost any kind of crop can be grown. Rozene Meeker Gets Homestead Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says: A deed for the Meeker homestead in Greeley, dated September 2, 1889, in which Mrs. Arvilla D. Meeker transfers the property to her daughter, Rozee Meeker, came to light Thursday when it was filed for record in the office of the county clerk by Miss Meeker. The deed and $n$ letter accompanying it has been held in escrow by J. M. Freeman of this city ever since it was made o ut. The letter explains t that the deed was not to be recorded until the death of the grantor, which occurred a short time ago, and also that the property was given for loving care by the daughter. IRRIGATORS' FEDERATION. Organizers at Omaha and Will Moet Next at Boise. Omaha.—The American Irrigators' Federation is the name chosen for an organization formed by representatives of the irrigation states who met in Omaha Wednesday. Among the objects of the federation, set forth in an official statement are to harmonize conflicting interests, promote essential legislation, circulate instructive literature, aid in settlement of reclaimed areas, criticise officials or others for acts of injustice, and to aid in the adjustment of freight rates to and from the reclaimed areas. The following officers were elected to serve until the first annual meeting at Boise, Idaho, at a date to be named by the executive committee, to correspond with dates selected for the National Irrigation Congress: President, ex-Governor L, Bradford Prince, Santa Fe, New Mexico; secretary, D. H. Anderson, Chicago. An executive committee, among whose members are Zera Snow, Portland, Oregon; C. M. Heintz, Los Angeles; ex-Gov. Frank Hunt, Boise; Lucius M. Wilcox, Denver, and several vice president, including Tom Richardson, Portland, Oregon; Judge Cyrus Happy, Spokane, Washington; C. E. Brainerd, Payette, Idaho; A. H. Heber, Los Angeles; Fred J. Keisel, Ogden, Utah; Clarence L. Johnson, Cheyenne, Wyoming; J. Turley, Farmington, New Mexico; C. D. Repy, Florence, Arizona; Prof. F. D. Coburn, Topeka, Kansas, and A. J. Cobban, Rhinelander, Wyoming. TRAGIC HOTEL FIRE. Burning of Large West Hotel at Minneapolis. St. Paul.—The greatest hotel disaster in the history of the Twin Cities was the partial destruction by fire of the West hotel in Minneapolis, with a loss of eight lives Wednesday morning. Death in spectacular form held a crowd of thousands of persons in a thrall of fear. Daring firemen crawled into smoke-filled rooms and drew from the beds or from the floor near windows senseless bodies of men and women. The Minenapolis fire department lost one of its number, but made the finest stop and the most daring rescues of smoke and flame-bound persons that the records of Minneapolis fires are every likely to contain. Following is a list of the dead: Capt. John Berwin, of truck No. 1; fell from the fourth floor to the sidewalk; was attempting to save Mrs. Barlow's life at the time. W. G. Nichels, Minneapolis chamber of commerce, suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. Thomas Summerville, Springfield, Massachusetts, suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. J. E. Wolf, New York; suffocated in his room on the seventh floor. Clinton B. Lamme, New York; suffocated in his room on the seventh floor. J. P. Peisniger, New York; jumped from the seventh story window. Mrs. M. E. Hodges, Minneapolis; jumped from the seventh story window. William Black, New York; suffocated in room. Eight persons are known to have been seriously injured, among whom is Mrs. B. D. Barlow, injured while being rescued by Captain Berwin. Her condition is critical. Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Knobe of Denver, who were guests of the hotel, escaped without injury. LINING UP ON STATEHOOD Insurgent Republicans Planning to Permit Amendments. Washington.—Opposition among the Republican members of the House to the Hamilton joint statehood bill seems to be making little headway. The leaders of the insurgents have prepared a pledge for the signature of Republicans who will vote to defeat a rule preventing amendments to the Hamilton bill. This was freely circulated to-day among the opponents of joint statehood and is now said to bear forty-five signatures. About twenty Republican members are undecided on the statehood fight, and the struggle to win them by the opposing factions is waxing hot. The insurgents insist that many of their sympathizers have not yet had an opportunity to sign the pledge, and claim that they will readily obtain more than sixty names. Administration supporters declare the total strength of their opponents is not much more than forty. An urgent deficiency bill will be ready for the consideration of the House in a few days and it is now expected that this will be laid before the House after the Philippine tariff bill has been disposed of, as the leaders are said to be anxious to delay the statehood bill until Speaker Cannon is more certain how the Republican members stand on the measure. WILL FURNISH AIRSHIP. Toledo Inventors Want to Aid Walter Wellman. Toledo. Ohio.—"If Walter Wellman wants to go to the North Pole in an airship, I will furnish him with the airship and aeronaut," says Charles J. Strobel, manager of Roy Knabenshue and Lincoln Beechy, two young boys whose work among the clouds has drawn all eyes toward Toledo during the last year. "I am negotiating with Wellman," continued Mr. Strobel, "and I hope to bring about the deal. This business of going to France to get a ship is all foolishness. Knabenshue flew over New York City, a feat which no one has ever succeeded in before, and which has not been duplicated. "If Santos-Dumont will guarantee, I will duplicate his offer. I am confident I can prove that American ingenuity and American nerve can carry the flight to the pole to a successful ternation." The Market Co. 1633-35-37-39 Arapahoe Street.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. There has never been a more democratic and truly unostentatious public reception given by any governor of Colorado than that given by Governor McDonald on New Year's Day. The door to the governor's office was wide open. As the people passed in the secretary announced the name of each so that all might hear and know who was coming. The line curved around through the room and passed on the private office which was thrown open. Here light eatables and lemonade was served—lemonade with just enough claret in it to make those who like punch think they were getting it, and not enough to make those who like lemonade think they were not getting it. The military man of the state was represented by Adjutant General Wells, who stood beside the governor and took the pleace of the large number of colonels which former governors have had on their staffs. People from all walks of life were there. The poor, the rich, the high, the low, Democrats and Republicans, all joined, as they should, in paying respect to the chief magistrate of the state. PUTTING THEIR FOOT IN IT. An educated, refined and wealthy son of the orient, a New York merchant and inventor from Japan has been refused a meal in a Curtis street restaurant. We have been expecting for a long time to see the arrogant venders of cheap swill put their feet in it and now we would be glad to see them get pinched. A good many joints up and down Curtis street have had the audacity to print on their windows "This place for white people only" and "Colored patronage not solicited" thinking by this they would be immuned from serving the wants of the public, but this Japanese student and merchant has hired an attorney to defend his rights and calls the attention of his government to the insult and threatens to make it a subject of Inter-national consideration. Good, the Japanese don't cringe and cower. They demand their rights and fight for them if needs be and England stands behind her. America needs a rebuke such as Russia got and the Japanese are spunky enough to administer it. We would be glad to see this matter fought out in the courts and not only the Jap but native American colored citizens receive justice. If the Negro had a government of his own behind him he would not have to endure the insult and injury he does without some method of redress. Denver has a number of first class business men who advertise in colored newspapers and solicit trade from all the people and then we have a picayunish class who have not sense enough to be decent and they should be taught a lesson and we know of no better teacher than the little people of the rising sun to administer the chastisement. AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE GOOD. We call attention that the D. & R. G. R. R. has put the Mexicans out of the freight house at Alamosa and installed colored men in their place. Twenty-one colored men from Denver have accepted work and left for Alamosa. Here is an entering wedge and an opportunity for the Negro to make good. What is needed to open wide the door of employment in the North and West is that the Negro laborer shall be punctual, reliable and truthful. That he shall cut off gambling and drinking during working hours. If the colored men that are now at Alamosa will conduct themselves decently, they will accomplish what the elevator pilots and Soda dispensers of Denver have done, open places for others. The steadiness of Messrs Conway and Hodges at Daniels and Fishers has caused every department store in Denver to employ colored conductors. The faithfulness of colored soda dispensers at Sholtz's Drug store has caused every first-class pharmacy to employ colored mixers at their fountains. The COLORADO STATES MAN has been fortunate enough now to open the door for freight handlers and we are very desirous that only reliable men apply for this work. If the honest workers will only take pains to weed out the things, gamblers and prostitutes who follow up our coal miners and working men, sapping the blood out of lives, we might soon be able to effectively open every door of opportunity in Colorado as it is in the South. We ask the sensible men in these places to think over this matter and help the race to get rid of its weights. WHAT WE STAND FOR. The COLORADO STATESMAN stands for world wide news concerning the Negro. Its policy heretofore and now is not to notice inuendos of its contemporaries or to reply to articles of sheets printed in this city or state but to hoe our own row in the field of gathering and dispencing news of interest to the race. But when a postal card sheet takes valuable time and ink to advertise itself "A news-paper, and that it does not reprint from other papers leaving that to the other fellow." We deem it unnecessary by way of comparison to inform the reading public and the the postage stamp sheet that it is not accused of printing anything original or otherwise, unless a few local squibbs is seriously taken for news. Unless this publisher had taken particular pains to inform the dear people that his hand bill was a newspaper they might have taken it for a dodger distributed gratis to the suffering public. The Colorado Springs sheet last week said at the close of the article on Booker T. Washington's coming, "Pueblo has a new grocery store of Negro ownership; Denver is starting several enterprises and Colorado Spings, the leader of them all, must not lag." The editors of the sheet always was my optic, they cant see around or over Pikes Peak, not even clear enough to read a few lines or they would have learned of some bona fide Denver Corporations, one of them organized over 15 years and holds clear of indebtedness property for which it paid $10,000 in hard cash another the Golden Chest Mining Co. has property worth today in good coin anywhere from $5000 to $150,000 and the Afro American Investment Co controlling over $1000 in cash and collateral, besides individual enterprises that would, make Colorado Springs look like a dew drop in the sea. Where does Colorado Springs get the idea that she is a leader? If our contemporaries would read the COLORADO STATESMAN they would be better posted and know what is going on in Colorado and not exhibit pin head nonsense to the people who are better posted than themselves. WONDROVS FAD OF FASHION MATINEE HAT'S SAD FATE GHOST SHOWED HIM GOLD COULDN'T HURT THE WATER WILD TIMES IN ODESSA How fearfully and wonderfully is the feminine of the hour built up in back! A man with a discerning eye for these things swears that a fashionable young person who hat in front of him on the train the other afternoon towered yards above the back of her seat. Her collar, according to his calculations, was built up quite six inches high. It supported four diamond pins, each at least two inches long, so he reasons that this was a modest calculation. Where her collar left off, her back hair began, and he states that never in his experience has he witnessed hair erect to such a sky-scraping height. He cannot undertake to say how it was done. He only knows that it was waved and puffed far above his level, and he could only peer toward its dim, retreating billows in wonder. He says he knows her maid must have stood on a stepadder to dress it. Away up on top, he says, there was set something in the nature of a hat, he couldn't clearly tell what, except that it was mounted on coils and coils of velvet, tilting it, as near as he could judge from that distance, at least a yard above her back hair. The top of it, he says, was not for man to con- Just before the curtain rose for a matinee performance recently, a woman very far above the weight that well regulated scales describe as normal, ambled down the aisle and took her seat, an end one. The whole balcony seemed to vibrate when she sat down. Not more than a few minutes later a small, wiry, business-like woman hopped down the aisle, and with great difficulty and extraordinary gymnastic effort managed to climb over the fat lady and take the seat next to her. Everything was peaceful until after the first act, when the thin spectator decided to climb out again to speak to a friend ten or twelve hows back. She had a new hat, which she had been holding lovingly in her lap. With a last fond look at it, she hesitatingly left it on her chair, went through the same gymnastic act, landed safely in the aisle and went quickly back to her friend. Now fat people are always counted good natured, and the end seat occupant was no exception. Realizing the hardships her neighbor would have to go through to climb back again, with a most divine expression of sympathy and good will on her face, she stood up, moved along, sat Bringing a bottle filled with almost pure gold, taken from a lode long hidden in mountain fastnesses, not far from here, W. E. Bartlett and M. C. Black, both well known business men, are back after a perilous trip to the Cascades. Theirs, however, was labor richly rewarded, though the story is so interwoven with spiritualism and romance that it is well nigh incredible. Bartlett is the grandson of D. E. Ingels, a miner of the early '50s in these parts, who was murdered in the hills by his partner. The Bartlett family are spiritualists, and Bartlett declares his dead and murdered grandfather, through a Portland medium, sent word to him to find the lost mine and he would be independent for life. Bartlett swears positively that he received specific directions from the spirit of his grandfather how to proceed to the lost mine. Moreover, he was told to select M. C. Black to accompany him. The men will not tell The late Eugene Field, while on one of his lecturing tours, entered Philadelphia one bright spring morning after that city had endured a three days' rainstorm. There was some dalay at the bridge over the Schuylkill river, and the humorist's attention was attracted by the turgid, coffee-colored stream flowing underneath. "It reminded me so much of my own dear Chicago river," he afterward explained. He placed a detaining hand on the arm of the colored porter, who was passing at the time, and inquired, in his languid tone, if he were a resident of the Quaker City, says Success. "Yassir!" replied that important functionary. "I was bo'n an' raised yere. Yassir!" "Don't you people get your drinking water from this stream?" queried Field. "Yassir! Ain't got no yuther place to git it frum 'cept th' Delaweah, Here is a correspondent's record of the minor hooligan outrages or one day in the city of Odessa recently: "Shortly before sundown a drunken member of a small military picket staggered across his rifle and fired wildly as a passing drosky carrying two women and a young girl. The bullet missed its mark. An officer, attracted by the shot, rushed over, and the drunken soldier ran as best he could, after dropping his rifle, but was brought down by a shot in the leg from the officer. On the opposite side of Cathedral place, 300 paces away, about the same time, an intoxicated policeman reeled out of a vodka shop and commenced blazing about with his revolver, one shot wounding a young woman in the hand. He was shot dead by a member of the nearest picket. template, nor woman, either, unless she were a Brobdignagian. When this extraordinary elevation turned around, the man says he got a distinct shock. The precipice that had been reared to such a lofty attitude behind tumbled straight down sheer, threatening to slice off her pretty nose in the descent. "It looked," said he, vainly struggling to express his emotions, "like somebody had taken a sharp knife, trimmed her off close in front, as my mother used to slice the dough off the pie-tin. I must say, after the amazing quantity of hat and hair aft, I wasn't prepared for such an anticlimax forward. She was an awfully pretty girl, but she appeared to feel that her hat didn't quite balance in front, and she kept thrusting out her chin as if she hoped to make up for the deficiency. Poor thing! I suppose it's the fashion!" Of course, what this man was talking about is the new felt sailor, erected to great heights behind and chopped off srort over the nose. Fashionable? Well, rather! As many feminines as can pay the price are annexing the same, and many, many men are bound to be amazed thereby.—Philadelphia Bulletin. down in the second seat—on the hat. In the meantime the friends ten rows back finished a rather excited conversation, during which the wiry lady had become more and more excited, and then she came back. Forgetting all about her cherished hat and seemingly intent on some other business, she unquestioningly took the end seat. In two minutes she shot up—the hat was lost! She did not know just where she had left it, but it must be there! She searched under the seats within a radius of twenty feet. No hat was to be found. The fat lady, sympathetic but immovable, did all she could to help look for it, except stand up. Ushers were sunmoned, ice-water boys, programme boys. The whole balcony was having a nervous chill over the mysterious disappearance. Only the girl from Brookyn, in the seat behind, knew the answer to the question, and she was too exhausted from the strain of suppressed laughter to explain. At the end of the play she did not wait to see the finish. Her conscience wouldn't permit her, for she caught one glimpse of the crushed hat when the fat lady arose. —Brooklyn Eagle. of the location of their find, but say it cannot be reached save by making an extremely dangerous trip and one filled with hardship, especially at this time of the year, when the mountains are firmly in winter's icy grasp. In the spring they will return and develop their find. In a rough and mountainous section, they say, they found a gray quartz ledge, literally filled with precious metal. Small pieces were broken off, pounded up in a frying pan which they had with them and the gold picked out by the men's fingers and placed in a bottle. Should the ledge prove as rich as the samples, a man could make a mortar and gold pan, and in a week's time take out enough of the gold to make him wealthy. As an evidence of their find they have the little bottle of gold dust, which has already been viewed by dozens of people, and tests have been made by O. D. Johnson which prove that the mineral is genuine.—Wenachite correspondence Seattle Times. an' dat's des a lil' mo' soupy dan dis yer wattah. Yassir!" "Is it filtered before you drink it?" "No, sah, not as I evah hea'd tell of!" "I should think," said the humorist, "that you would be afraid to drink such water; especially as the seepage from that cemetery I see on the hill must drain directly into the river and pollute it."

"Earlier in the day two small merchants returning through a busy thoroughfare from the custom house were stopped by hooligans and robbed of everything. Thirty yards away stood a picket of two soldiers and a policeman. The indignant victims demanded to know why the picket did not come to their assistance. One of the soldiers replied it was none of their business; they were there to control the traffic only. "Two other cases of robbery with violence occurred in the afternoon close to my residence." In the outer districts of the city there were seventeen similar assaults and robberies, and between nightfall and midnight about twenty. In three of the latter cases the military pickets were the bandits. A little girl of nine years, chased by the hooligans, was shot dead on her own doorstep."

FIRST ANNUAL DINNER Of Watch No. 2 of Denver Club Employes a Brilliant and Elaborate Affair. What will be annual, was the dinner given last Saturday night by Watch No. 2, of the Denver Club Employees at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman W. Overton, 2822 High street. A notable feature of the occasion 'was the very exquisite floral decorations which comprised palms, ferns, chrysanthemums, carnations and American beauties. It was indeed a unique and artistic display of Botany that is seldom observed. The table with its heavy batenburg covering was decorated with a beautiful center piece of American beauties and this together with the beautiful; China, cut glass and silver ware, presented a scene from the sparkling chandelier lights that brought forth expressions of admiration from the party which was seated thereto at 9 o'clock. The hostess, Mrs. Overton, who was responsible for the preparations was warmly congratulated by all, and in behalf of the party she was presented with a pair of silver vases by Toastmaster T. S. Rogers, who said: "Mrs. Overton, this is an honor that gives me much pleasure. Allow me, in behalf of the gentlemen present and myself, to present to you these vases as a small token of our sincere thanks and unexpressible appreciation for the pains taken in the preparation of this most delicious repast of which all credit is due to you." In a few well choosen words, Mrs. Overton showed her appreciation of the gift in no little degree of flattery to the donors. The party comprised Thomas S. Rogers, toastmaster; William A. Slade, John W. Carrie, William E. Russ, Paul W. Walker, Jessie A. Williams, David Nichols, Harvey O. Nesbit, George A. McCullough, Sherman W. Overton, Captain. Choice selections of music were dispersed which with the telling of jokes and funny stories made the affair one that will bring fond recollections to the memory of all present. A handsome souvenir foulder tasseled with silk ribbon, was presented to each member of the party. On the front was a wreath of flowers and in its circle was the gilted inscription: "First Annual Dinner given by Watch No.2, Denver Club Employes, January 6, 1906.

Professor Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. It is easily grown." A bulletin by the Pennsylvania State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng Root is rapidly diminishing and the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future." American Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in America. Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from $6.00 to $8.00 per pound, while the cost of production is less than $1.50. There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary garden vegetables. There are two planting seasons, spring and fall. We are buyers and exporters of the dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Ginseng.

Man's Weakness in Separation from Rest of His Kind. A man is but a cluster on the great human grapevine. He begins to dry up the moment he is cut off from his fellows. Ther is something in the solidarity of the human race which cannot be accounted for in the sum total of all the individuals. Separation from the mass involves a mighty loss of power in the individual, just as there is a loss of cohesion and adhesion involved in the separation of the molecules and atoms of the diamond. The value of the gem is in the close contact, the compactness, and the concentration of the particles which compose it. The moment they are separated its value is gone.

Human Stomach Not Adapted to the Digestion of an Excessive Number of Different Kinds of Food Stuffs—Simplicity to Be Preferred. While variety is necessary to promote appetite and good digestion, the stomach may be easily overworked by an excessive number of different kinds of food stuffs taken at a single meal. Animals which are adapted to complicated and varied food stuffs, like the sheep, the goat and the cow, which, in the course of the morning's grazing, may swallow a hundred or more different kinds of herbs, have complicated stomachs. The same is true of predatory fishes, which are often provided with more than half a dozen different stomachs for the performance of their complicated digestive work. A whale has seven stomachs. Man, with a single stomach, often sits down to a feast at which the whole world of appetites and stomachs might find ample satisfaction and occupation. For instance, taking an ordinary bill of fare for illustration, we find dishes sufficient in variety to occupy the seven-stomach power of the whale's digestion. There are meats of various sorts for the meat-digesting stomach of the dog; there are nuts and fruits for the fruit and nut, digesting stomach of the monkey; grass and herbs for the four stomachs of the cow and the goat—variety enough to tax the digestive power of thirteen stomachs! Yet man sits down to such a task with his one small stomach, expecting to enjoy himself. Whatever pleasure he may elicit by the long procession of viands as they slip by his palate on the way to his stomach, is certain to be more than offset by the after pains of indigestion, when this unseemly conglomeration gathered from the bills of fare of all the beasts of creation, becomes, a few hours later a seething, fermenting, putrescent mass, swarming with myriad germs, emitting disgusting odors, and generating poisons of various properties and potencies. There is only one animal on the face of the earth capable of digesting such a dinner, and that is the woodchuck, which, according to Prof. Draper, has fourteen stomachs. Simplicity is the cornerstone of good digestion. The normal appetite is easily satisfied with a small number of foods simply and wholesomely prepared. Variety is proper enough, but the number of kinds taken at a single meal should be limited to three or four. If the bill of fare is confined to nuts, fruits and cereals, this question becomes less important, for the reason that all fruits agree. Cereals are practically identical in their relation to digestion, and nuts are likewise practically uniform in their relation to digestion and nutrition; but when vegetables are added, substances which are very different in character, and requiring very different digestive action, are introduced, and the greatest care must be exercised to avoid harmful results from the presentation to the stomach of a too complex and arduous task.

Hill, found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to loot the Denver Savings Bank, were on Saturday sentenced to a term in the penitentiary of not less than nine or more than ten years. A stay of execution of sentence for thirty days was granted to allow an appeal—that is, the prisoners will remain in the county jail for that period, or until a higher court has intervened. As soon as the record can be completed, and it is nearly ready, although one of the longest to be presented to the Supreme Court since the Graves murder trial, an application will be made to the State Supreme Court for a writ of supersedeas—a process in law that would mean ball for the two defendants until such time as the higher court had time to examine the records and decide whether error or errors had prevailed in the trial court sufficient to order a new trial there. If the Supreme Court should refuse to intercede and permit the appeal from the lower court to take the usual course, a hearing in a year or two years, a further step will be taken there on an application for a writ of habeas corpus, on the plea that the defendants are being unlawfully detained. If this should be refused, then the federal courts will be appealed to for relief. It will be contended that the defendants were illegally convicted, in that the state, contrary to the constitution, seized evidence and used the same against the owners thereof, to wit: the famous Imboden-Hill correspondence. The other points raised during the trial will also be urged before the appellate courts. IMPORTANT DECISIONS Handed Down by the Supreme Court of Colorado Denver.—The January term of the Supreme Court opened Monday morning, all the justices being present except Justice John Campbell, who is out of the state. Chief Justice Gabbert handed down a large number of announcements in important cases, some of which came from the old court of appeals, and which have been pending for many years. Among the most important of these is the ruling in the case of Frank P. Tanner against the Treasury Tunnel, Mining and Reduction Company. It is held that parties working a mining claim may tunnel under property belonging to another if they so desire, but that the parties so tunnelling must pay for the value of the ore taken out. For the sixth time, the long dispute between Frank G. Patterson and others, on the one side, and the Fort Lyons Canal Company on the other, has been passed upon, and, it is hoped, finally decided. Patterson asked that excessive water rights of parties who had held them for eleven years be declared illegal, but the court declined to do this, and decided the rights were valid. A county judge may call in another judge to assist him in clearing an overcrowded docket. Such is the decision of the Supreme Court, announced in the case of the Prudential Insurance Company against Carrie Hummer. This is a distinct victory for Judge B. B. Lindsey of Denver, who appeared before the court in person and argued that the practice should be legalized. A very important decision is that holding the statute of 1901 in relation to the present method of establishing irrigation districts constitutional and valid. All of the irrigation districts in Colorado are deeply interested, because they are created under this statute, and upon the statute's validity depends the legality of the numerous bond issues made by such districts. Colorado Railroad Profits. Denver.—Large increases in the volume of gross earnings of the roads leading into Colorado during 1905 are shown by their reports. The gross earnings of the Denver & Rio Grande, from July 1st up to the fourth week in December, were $1,841,100, a clear gain of nearly $1,250,000 over the corresponding period of last year. This is a record-breaker. The Rio Grande Southern during the same period earned $281,020, an increase of $49,421, which also makes a record for that time. The Colorado & Southern earned $5,614,297 during the period mentioned, and the amount of the increase over the previous year was almost as great as that of the Denver & Rio Grande. The Burlington showed an increase of $2,500,000 in earnings for the year up to December 1st, $2,000,000 of which was net. Bill for Mines Commissioner. Washington.—Representative Brooks has introduced a bill providing for the establishment of the office of commissioner of mines, to be under the control of the Department of Commerce and Labor, the commissioner to be appointed by the President and to receive a salary of $6,000 per annum. The bill provides also for the appointment of an assistant commissioner at a salary of $3,000 and of a proper clerical force.

Senator Teller has reintroduced his bill to aid the Colorado School of Mines at Golden.

Fort Logan Target Range. Washington. — Lieutenant General Chaffee has announced the creation of a military reservation comprising 960 acres of land in Douglas county, Colorado, to be designated as the Fort Logan target range. Deeds from Mrs. Nellie Cheesewright, William H. Lithgow and the Denver Sugar, Land and Irrigation Company, conveying to the government the lands in question, have been completed and recorded. CANAL ALL RIGHT SO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DE CLARES TO CONGRESS. GRAFT ACCUSATIONS FALSE Secretary Taft's Report Shows Good Progress—Preliminary Work is Being Done—Advocates Generous Salaries for Competent Men. Washington.—The Senate gave attention Monday to the Panama canal, the situation in Santo Domingo and the merchant marine shipping bill. The canal question came up in connection with a message from the President, in which, among other things, he invited the closest scrutiny into all that had been done by the government in the isthmus of Panama, saying: "Inclose herewith the annual report of the Isthmian Canal Commission, the annual report of the Panama Railroad Company and the secretary of war's letter transmitting the same, together with certain papers. "The work on the isthmus is being admirably done and great progress has been made, especially during the last nine months. The plant is being made ready and the organization perfected. The first work to be done was the work of sanitation, the necessity preliminary to the work of actual construction, and this has been pushed forward with the utmost energy and means. In a short while I shall lay before you the recommendations of the commission and of the board of consulting engineers as to the proper plan to be adopted for the canal itself, together with my own recommendations thereon. "All the work so far has been done, not only with the utmost expedition, but in the most careful and thorough manner; and what has been accomplished gives us good reason to believe that the canal will be dug in a shorter time than had been anticipated and at an expenditure within the estimated amount. All our citizens have a right to congratulate themselves upon the high standard of efficiency and integrity which has been hitherto maintained by the representatives of the government in doing this great work. "If this high standard of efficiency and integrity can be maintained in the future at the same level which it has now reached, the construction of the Panama canal will be one of the feats to which the people of this Republic will look back with the highest pride. "From time to time various publications have been made and from time to time in the future various similar publications doubtless will be made purporting to give an account of jobbery, or immorality, or inefficiency, or misery, as obtaining on the isthmus. I have carefully examined into each of these accusations which seemed worthy of attention. "In every instance the accusations have proved to be without foundation in any shape or form. "Every specific charge relating to jobbery, to immorality, or to inefficiency, from whatever source it has come, has been immediately investigated and in no single instance have the statements of these sensation mongers and the interested complainants behind them proved true. The only discredit inhering in these false accusations is to those who originate and give them currency and who, to the extent of their abilities, thereby hamper and obstruct the completion of the great work in which both the bonor and the interest of America are so deeply involved." NEW PREMIER'S POLICY. Severe Arraignment of the Former British Government London.—The election address of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the premier, is wholly devoted to a severe indictment of the late government's record and its policy on protection and to referring the electors to his public declaration on assuming office for an exposition of his government's intended policy. The premier declares that the last decade represents a well-high unbroken expanse of mismanagement conducted for the benefit of privileged classes; of wars and adventures abroad, hastily embarked upon and recklessly pursued, and that the legacy the Unionists bequeathed to their successors is in the main a legacy of embarrassment; an accumulation of public mischief and confusion absolutely appalling in its extent and ramifications. He declines to regard Mr. Balfour's free trade tenets as having more than a nominal place in the estimation of the majority of the Unionists, whose fiscal reform policy he holds is fraught with incalculable mischief to the nation and the empire. He characterizes protection as immoral and oppressive, based, as he says it must be, on the exploitation of the community in the interest of the favored trades and financial groups, and declares the policy of his government will be to hold fast to the time honored principles of liberalism, peace, economy, self-government and civil and religious liberty and to pursue a substantial continuity of the foreign policy without departing from the friendly and unprovocative methods adhered to by previous Liberal admin- itrations. Bell Identifies Orchard. Boise, Idaho.—Sheriff Bell of Teller county, Colorado, stated here Monday that he recognized Harry Orchard, the man suspected of the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, as the same man who is wanted in Colorado for the blowing up of the Independence depot at Cripple Creek. The officer with him likewise recognized the prisoner absolutely. Sheriff Bell said further that, though he had come here with a requisition for Orchard, he had found after looking over the case of the state against him for the Steunenberg murder, that it was not likely that Colorado would get hold of him at this time. He feels certain he will be held and is prepared to go back home, but will remain until after the preliminary examination. BONYNGE ON SUGAR TARIFF. Colorado Representative Defends Sugar Beet Interests. Washington.—In a speech of an hour and fifteen minutes directed against the Philippine tariff bill, Representative Bonyinge Tuesday made good and established himself as one of the leading orators of the present Congress. Good luck was with Mr. Bonyenge, for he was called to make the opening speech of the day's session, and when he arose to talk there was a full attendance of members and the galleries contained a large audience. Mr. Bonyenge made fine use of these advantages and held his hearers' attention throughout his address. He is one of the few speakers in the House whose every word can be distinctly heard to the farthest corner of the galleries. Mr. Bonyenge's speech was good natured in tone and when a long line of members crowded around him at its close to offer congratulations, among them were Payne and Dalzell, whom he had prodded vigorously, but with good humor. In his opening address, Mr. Bonyge attacked the views of the house leader, Mr. Payne, as represented in his first speech on the pending bill, and characterized them as being far from true protective doctrine. He then reviewed Republican legislation in reference to sugar and contended that the legislation proposed by the present bill was not Republican in its nature and tendencies, but Democratic. He took up the questions involved in the relationship of the Philippines to the United States and asserted that the present tariff bill is a radical departure from the position heretofore occupied. Up to this time, he contended, the Republican party had shown that it had the legal power and moral right to levy a tax upon products coming from our insular possessions. He quoted from speeches made by Dalzell and Payne on the Porto Rican tariff measure to prove this, and urged the House to follow these two leaders when they enunciated Republican doctrine, and forsake them when they did not. He also quoted from the Republican campaign book of 1900 in support of the position he took in regard to our relationship with the Philippine islands. Mr. Bonynge then contended that the proposed legislation would not do the Filipino laborer or small plantation owner any good, but the entire benefit would go to the sugar trust, which, he said, was graphically described by Speaker Cannon in his Porto Rican tariff speech as an "infernal red-eyed, bald-headed and brimstone-eating trust." He undertook to show that the passage of this bill would be a great menace and a serious blow to beet sugar industry and cited the effect that similar legislation had in increasing the sugar production of Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba at the expense of the United States. SCHOOL LAND FUND Large Increase of Earnings for Colo rado Schools. Denver.—The office of State Auditor Bent has finished the semi-annual apportionment of the State School fund. The earnings during the half year just passed show a great increase, due to the careful manner in which the school lands are being handled by the State Land Board, and the good rate of of interest accruing on invested warrants. For the six months ending June 30, 1905, there was $78,122.41 to apportion. The present sum is $126,100.67, showing an increase of $47,978.26.

Chicago—Dr. William Rainey Harper, president of the University of Chicago since its inception, died Wednesday of cancer of the intestines. Three years ago Dr. Harper underwent an operation for appendicitis, and symptoms were then discovered which led the surgeons to suspect that graver troubles might arise in the future. An operation February 22, 1905, showed the real nature of the disease. Dr. Harper was one of the world's greatest authorities on Hebrew and Sanskrit. In his administration of the university he showed himself not only an organizer of high ability in educational work, but was a most attractive and inspiring teacher. As a man he was personally popular with all with whom he came in contact and few men who have lived in this city have enjoyed a larger circle of warm friends and admirers. so The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

To women who suffer Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold. At special periods a woman needs medicine to regulate her blood supply or her life will be a round of pain and suffering. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are absolutely the finest medicine that ever a woman took. They actually make new blood. They are good for men too but they are good in a special way for women. "It was three years ago last spring that my health failed me," says Mrs Arthur Conklin, of No. 5 Coldwater street, Battle Creek, Mich. "I suffered from leucorrhea and other troubles that, I presume, were caused by the weakness it produced. I had sinking spells, nervous headaches, was weak and exhausted all the time and looked like a walking skeleton. "My back and limbs would ache almost continually and there were days when I was absolutely helpless from sick headache. I tried one doctor after another but cannot say that they helped me at all. My liver was sluggish and I was troubled some with constipation. "One day a physician who has now retired from practice met my husband on the street and inquired about my health. He advised my husband to get some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for me, said they were a good medicine, better for my trouble than he could put up. I tried them, improved steadily and soon was entirely cured. As soon as the leucorrhoea was cured the headaches and other pains stopped. I am entirely well now but intend to continue to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a spring tonic." The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. "I don't think the editor read a line gi my story."

Jack—And do you always speak the tutu, but not until after they are gone OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST OURTH OF HE GUARANTEY OF MERIT. When the maker of a medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his place to do the job, he frankly and fearlessly publishing broadcast as well as on its bottle wrappers, a full list of all its ingredients in plain English, this action on his part is the best possible evidence that he is not afraid to have the search light of investigation turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the organs distinctly feminine, is the only codified remedy for the woman's special use, the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity. A glance at the published ingredients on each bottle wrapper, will show that it is made wholly from native, American, medicinal roots, that it contains no polsonous or habit-forming drugs, no narcotics and no alcohol—pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength being used in the manufacture of lotion, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed. It is the only medicine for women's peculiar diseases, sold by drugists, that does not contain a large percentage of alcohol, which is in the long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nervous system. Now, glycerine is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose in treating it, and besides it enhances the curative effect of the other ingredients entering into the "Favorite Prescription." Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise all the several ingredients of which "Favorite Prescription" is composed—recommending them for the cure, the treatment of which his world-famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for women has any such professional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If interested, send name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce Buffalo, N. Y., for a title book of instructors to the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, enclosing the several ingredients and telling just what Dr. Pierce's medicines are made of. It's free for the asking. PISO'S CURE FOR CURES WHERE ALL FISE FAILS. Best choice for the treatment. Use in time. Sold by druglists. CONSUMPTION STATE EDITORS CONVENED FROM ALL SECTIONS OF COLORADO. CORDIALLY ENTERTAINED Successful Meeting of Colorado Editorial Association at Denver—Dinner at Chamber of Commerce and Reception by Denver Press Club. Denver.—Pledging itself to exert every power to purify Colorado politics, to boost always for the state and its people and to bring the convention of the National Editorial Association to Denver in 1907, the Colorado Editorial Association placed itself on record yesterday at its annual convention, held at the Chamber of Commerce. The convention held one of the greatest meetings in its history and accomplished a deal of business which was of the utmost importance. Before and after the convention the association was royally entertained by the Denver Press Club and the Chamber of Commerce. One of the subjects to come before the meeting was that of politics. It was pointed out that 'putrid politics' was doing as much harm as "frrenzled finance" ever could do and it was decided that the pen was mightier than the sword in dealing with this momentous question. The primary election law was regarded by many as the root of the political evil and steps were taken at the meeting to do everything possible to secure the enactment of a new law governing primary elections. Each legislator will be asked, personally and through the columns of his party organ, to enact a perfect primary election law. New officers were elected by the association, as follows: President, E. O. Blair, Trinidad Chronicle-News; first vice president, C. E. Adams, Montrose Press; second vice president, E. E. Watts, Florence Tribune; secretary and treasurer, J. F. Lawless, Lamar Sparks; historian, Gen. George West, Golden Transcript; executive committee, H. C. Brancon, Fort Collins Democrat; I. N. Bunting, Grand Junction Sentinel; G. E. Hosmer, Fort Morgan Herald. Delegates were elected to attend the national convention of the National Editorial Association, to be held in Indianapolis in June, and each was instructed to do all possible to bring the 1907 convention to Denver. The delegates chosen were A. E. Pierce, J. E. Hosmer, Roy Ray, J. J. Barkhausen, J. F. Lawless, S. Case, J. D. Dillenback, Wolfe Londoner, Ralph Lee, W. B. Priddy, Wilcox O. H. Wangelin, Guy W. Hardy, J. M. Stuart, E. H. Madison, J. R. Wilson and L. B. White. Committees were appointed to frame appropriate resolutions and one to act with the Voters' League in securing the enactment of a proper primary election law. The former committee was composed of J. F. Lawless, A. C. Newton and I. N. Bunting. The latter of J. M. Price and D. W. Barkley. The resolutions adopted by the association were as follows: "The Colorado Editorial Association in annual convention assembled, congratulates its membership upon the splendid attendance present; upon the exhaustive and intelligent discussion of subjects pertinent to the interests of the association; upon topics beneficial to the people of the state as well as to themselves. "It is particularly gratified at the work performed by its officers, especially the worthy president, Hon. H. J. Holmes, and all standing and auxiliary committees who have so materially interested themselves for the upbuilding of the organization. "In view of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Denver has extended unusual courtesies, as well as the Press Club of the city of Denver; therefore, "Be it resolved, that the thanks of this association is due and is herewith most heartily extended that body for the use of its hall as a place of meeting, and for the delightful luneheon at which the membership were its guests; and "Be it further resolved, that for the splendid entertainment accorded the Colorado Editorial Association, at which the Denver Press Club was the host, they receive our warmest thanks and that we further anticipate with pleasure the meeting of the International Association of Press Clubs, to be held in Denver this summer, and pledge the Denver Press Club our heartiest co-operation and support in entertaining this splendid body of newspaper writers; and "Be it further resolved, that we also thank the Colorado Poultry Fanciers' Association for courtesies extended to this association while in Denver; and "Be it further resolved, that our national committeeman and delegates to the National Editorial Association extend an invitation to that body to meet in Denver in 1907, assuring that body of a cordial welcome and a delightful time in the Queen City of the Plains." Prior to the convention session a luncheon was tendered the association by the Chamber of Commerce. President Temple of the Chamber of Commerce addressed the editors, landing them for their efforts in behalf of the state. He stated that the newspaper man was the greatest booster on earth. The business man, he said, boosted the state when opportunity offered; the editor every day in the year. Gov. Jesse F. McDonald welcomed the association to Denver. Many of the members were his personal friends, he said, and he hoped that all of his friends would prove as just and true as those he had found in the newspaper profession. Editor Keating spoke for the Denver Press Club, of which he is president. His "shop talk" was witty and interesting. Following Mr. heating was Wolfe Londoner, pioneer and first honorary member of all Colorado press organizations. After his address he invited those present to partake of the hospitality of his "cyclone cellar." In the evening a reception was given at the Press Club which was largely attended, where refreshments were served and many brilliant speeches were made. DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in 4%-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Before Public Schools.

The Brooklyn Eagle says that enough tea has been grown in the South to show that the plant will thrive under the right conditions, and with the wonderful range of soils, climates and temperatures which this country possesses it would seem as if we might domesticate any form of vegetable life that the world affords; yet little seems to have come of the southern tea industry, because, apparently, the plant has not been gathered and treated as it is in Asia. There is hope for the new enterprise in Texas, which is to be conducted by a new colony of Japanese—a people for whom we profess admiration, yet whom we try to bar from our smoores as we pretend to bar lepers and criminals.

Hair Finally Had to Be Cut to Save Any—Scalp Now in Good Condition Cured by Cuticura. "I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constantly falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months' time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to as good, but with no results. Mrs. W. F. Griess, Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 23, 1905."

The farmers in the Arkansas valley, north and west of Lamar, and north of Las Animas, are rejoicing in the prospect of a new railroad, which will be commenced this spring and pass through the northern part of Prowers, Bent and Otero counties. Judge Moses Hallett, executor of the Clayton estate in Denver, has authorized the announcement that early in the spring he will begin the erection of the Clayton Memorial college on the eighty-acre tract belonging to the estate near the City Park. While skating on Hayden's lake near Boulder on the night of the 5th inst., Irvine Finney, aged seventeen, broke through the ice and was drowned. Young Finney's father was killed by an explosion of giant powder at Nederland only about two weeks before. Postmasters appointed: Edward B. Wise, Cuatro, Las Animas county, vice C. C. McWilliams, resigned; Charles E. Huggins, Pallas, Rount county, vice B. C. Myers, resigned; Ollie J. Willford, Pearl, Larimer county, vice M. Crawford, resigned. January 20th has been set as the date for the farewell reception to the officers of the Second Infantry to be given by the Denver Chamber of Commerce. The affair is to be tendered as a testimonial to the officers prior to their departure for the Philippines. The application of W. E. Combe, Lewis Linebarger, M. I. Linebarger, H. N. Linbarger, Mark Burke and C. F. Parker, to organize the First National Bank of Julesburg, with $55,000 capital, has been approved by the comptroller of the currency. The State Bureau of Child and Animal Protection will endeavor to have a bill passed by Congress, through the offices of one or more of the Colorado members of that body, compelling the railroads to give live stock shipments the right of way over dead freight and empty cars. The Eastern Colorado Medical Association, composed of physicians of Morgan, Washington and Yuma counties, held its quarterly meeting at Wray, and elected Dr. Earl D. McGill of Wray, president and Dr. G. B. Bilsborrow of Yuma, secretary for the ensuing year. In a written opinion, Judge Riner in the United States Court at Denver, overruled the motions to quash filed by David W. Irwin and P. E. Meanan, county treasurer of Yuma county, who were indicted by the federal grand jury for perjury in connection with the land frauds in the eastern part of the state. The Midland railroad is preparing to put dining cars on the line the coming year, and Manager Vallery is having three fine cars built. They are being turned out at the shops at Colorado City and are to be unique of their kind. The cars are to be run between Denver and Grand Junction on the through passenger trains. In the District Court at Greeley Judge Garrigues handed down an important opinion. He holds that section 14 of the revenue act, exempting all notes secured by mortgage or trust deeds from taxation unconstitutional, and that it is the duty of all assessors in the state to list such property for taxation. The case will probably be taken to the Supreme Court. St.Jacobs Oil are" and excit- ness, sleep- ply or the are the Weakness, For ST. ELMO HOTEL Two blocks from Union Depot, up Fifth Avenue, Denver.

The long-coated suit is variously expressed this season, but there is a certain unanimity on the part of the tailors that a rich broadcloth is the best vehicle for their work. A soft shade of deep rose red, just what one sees in a jacqueminot rose, is employed for this smart design, and there is just a touch of velvet richly embroidered that makes a suggestion of a vest edging. A taffeta passementerie is used to border the open front all the way down, and the easy fullness of the top drops into a smartly curved ceinture. The coat skirts are applied with a prettily shaped hip seam, deep plaits in the center front and back, making for a graceful fullness. The sleeve is a full gigot model, the shoulder built out in the form of a cap, and the fullness tapering below the elbow drops into a stiff cuff that rises well up from the wrist. Girl's Dancing Dress Young girl's dancing dress of white embroidered tulle made up over white 3 silk, all trimmed with white satin ribbon and valenciennes lace, forming little fan-shaped ruffles on the skirt. The full blouse has a yoke of gulpure bordered with a white satin ribbon, and the corset girdle is of white liberty. The short, puffed sleeves are finished with the ribbon and lace ruffles. To Make Nightingale Sleeve. The nightingale sleeve is worn a great deal upon the tea gown, for it is comfortable and pretty, and it can be made at home, which is a great thing in its favor. If you have an old sleeve rather large and flaring at the hand, you can slit it right up to the shoulder, letting it fall wide open. Now you will want to make a series of big eyelet holes, through which you can run ribbons, so that they will tie in little bows on top of the arms, or if you do not feel equal to the task of making the eyelet holes, you can take rings nicely embroidered and sew them to the sleeve, after which you can run ribbons through these rings. Brilliant Colored Feathers. Flaunting plumage of most vivid colorings decks the winter hats of the woman of fashion, and, curiously enough, not even the most brilliant feathers are left as nature colored them. They are dyed even more brilliantly to suit the millinery freak of the moment. Peacock tail plumage is used in its metallic blue shade, while the tail feathers of the same bird are dyed a rich brick red. A London milliner yesterday tempted her customers with a purple hat of the Gainsborough type, which was one glorious mass of that magnificent color known as eminence. The feathers on the hat repeated the dye. A single ostrich feather, perched upright, with the tip drooping over a diamond diadem, is a form or adornment that is very extraordinary, but truly pliant when worn by a hand-some women in her hair as the coiffure ornament that accompanies an empire evening robe. The color must match the gown. Brilliant, indeed, are orange and amber marabou feathers, which are as fluffy as a duckling's coat, and like a rosy cloud is the same plumage when dyed a bright cerise.—London Daily Mall. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Clean the keys of a piano with a cloth moistened with alcohol. Salad dressing should not be mixed with salad until just before serving. Carrots and turnips will keep for weeks, if not months, if placed in layers in a box of sand. Keep macaroni in an air-tight receptacle and plunge into boiling salt water before cooking. Add borax to the water in which the dish toweils are washed and it will aid in making them white and soft. Rub the bottom crust of the pie with the white of an egg and it will prevent the juice from soaking into it. Clothes lines and pegs will keep in good condition much longer if they are boiled for ten minutes before using. Hair-Dressing Style School girls are adopting a style of hair dressing introduced by a leading actress—one that the family photographer of several years ago commemorates. The front hair is waved in natural fasion, there is a parting that loses its way under a light fluff and two long braids crossed at the back and brought around the head like a fillet. Doudoir Confidences A little sealskin bolero with a cloth skirt is a nobly combination. A tulle ruche and a tight little wreath of roses trim the mushroom hat. Amethyst is a color that is seen more frequently as the season advances. The luxurious evening coat is lined throughout with ruffles of narrow valenciennes. There is a new inlet with horizontal stripes of lace, which makes lovely evening gowns. When one wishes to appear particularly well, the becoming picture hat remains the favorite. Blouses of satiny leather in white or colors are the modish shirt waists for motoring or driving. Belts of gold braid are fetching and will brighten up the dark shirtwaist suit to be so much worn this winter. Many women have their gowns made up with two skirts, one short and severe, the other long and trimmed. Such a pretty opera bag for the woman in black is of black Irish crochet over silk. The mounting is gun metal. Separate Waist The foundation of one charming litte the separate waist—and they are more in favor than ever, if that were possible—is of tucked mousseline de sole, with narrow Richelieu plattings disposed so as to mark the groups of tucks. This fashions the entire corsage, over which is laid a bolero in rather coarse Irish crochet, following an irregular outline, and which strappings of pale pink satin ribbon serve to define. The sleeve is puffed almost to the elbow and a very full ruffle is fashioned of ribbons shirred to form a circular shape. The ceinture is of the pale pink satin. Louis Seize Coats. A narrow strip of velvet and satin in two shades of rose was the material chosen for a jaunty Louis Seize basquine of a dinner-frock. The coat was ornamented with large buttons of velvet in the darker shade of rose, set in paste and worn with fichu of creamy mousseline and lace embellished with embroidery done in narrow satin ribbon in two shades of rose. These Louis Seize coats keep their hold upon feminine fancy and will doubtless retain their prestige throughout the winter. Almost every trock and coat of the moment is trimmed, at least to some slight extent, with velvet.

The full skirt is gathered at the top and is encircled at the bottom with a band of the silk, which is stitched to leave the edges free, forming little frills. The corsage forms a sort of bolero trimming with bands of the material and motifs of gold embroidery. The fronts, finished with revers of the material, open over a chemisette of fine white lace. Ruffles of this lace also finish the short puffed sleeves. The draped girdle and choux are of green liberty. The other gown—one of the "reforme" toilets—is of green crepe de chine made up over a --- A velvet collar is a foregone conclusion upon almost every coat, whatever be the general nature of the coat. The long coat, the Empire coat, and the bolero vary widely in line, but all have this one feature in common. Graduated bands of velvet will be a popular skirt, trimming for silk and wool frocks, while velvet revers, collars, buttons, bows and girdles are legion. In day headgear the willow plumes hold supreme sway, and many are the soft falling ways in which these wonderful feathers are employed. Like the tinsel flowers, they have an artificial air, but this very hothouse quality stamps them as modish aristocrats. None of these precious tinned things and fanciful feathers may be seen next season. However, the period of their reign cannot help but be remembered. Short-Waisted Girl Is Glad. The long-pointed waist-line is disappearing. New gowns from the supreme dress authorities show a short, round waist, with long skirt lines from the belt down; whereat the naturally short-waisted woman—who has been hard to put to it to draw her bodice down into the unconscionably long lines prescribed—will rejoice. Dainty Crepe de Chine Waist. Blouse or pink crepe de chine made with groups of fine tucks and elab- orately trimmed with lace insertion and applique embroidery. The yoke and elbow sleeves are trimmed in the same way, and the corset girdle and knots of short taffeta. From half a chicken cut all the meat into strips one and a half inches long. Slice one large onion thin. Soak a handful of dried mushrooms ten minutes in water, then cut off the stems. Cut a stalk of celery into inch bits. Wash and slice six Chinese potatoes. Put the chicken into a frying pan with some fat and fry until done but not crisp or hard. Add the onion and cook for five minutes, then pour in enough Chinese sauce to make the contents of pan brown, and stir in the mushrooms. Add a little water and simmer for ten minutes. Stir in the celery, then the potatoes and cook until done, adding a little floured water to thicken the gravy. Serve with boiled rice. MISS fitted princess lining. The skirt is trimmed with a rich silk embroidery mingled with gold and silver. The corsage is finished at the bottom by a band of velvet stimulating a bolero, from under which escapes a blouse effect of the crepe de chine. The bolero is finished around the neck with a little rippled collar of green velvet, headed by a band of tan velvet, of which the knot is also made; this is fastened with a gold or silver buckle. The chimisette, hardly more than a collar, is of white silk or crepe de chine. The short tucked sleeves are tucked in chevrons on the outside and finished with bands of velvet and lace ruffles. --- Chon Suev. The Joslin DRY GOODS CO.
