He said. In part: "When, on April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator, the first great American, passed into Paradise and immorality, he bequeathed to the American people its greatest problem—the American Negro. His was an unfinished work. By the memorable emancipation proclamation, the Negro race had been set free—an uneducated, untrained people, confronted with the problem of existence and survival. It was a sad day for North and South, Negro and free, when the great, tender hearted president breathed his last. How the professional politician and carpet-bagger attempted to solve the problem let the sad history of the reconstruction period tell. Page's 'Red Rock' and Dixon's 'Leopard's Spots' and 'The Clansman' make us shudder, and hardly can we believe their pages. By the educational measures the Christian church attempted the answer. Forty years ago, the Freedman's Aid and Educational society, of the Methodist Episcopal church, with 'a good constitution and $1,500 borrowed money,' entered upon its work of helping the colored race to help itself. "What that race has done for itself let the facts speak for themselves. In view of the facts, the accomplishments are marvelous. Forty-five years ago they were not permitted to attend school, but by 1880 30 per cent had learned to read and write, while today 55 per cent can read or write. In the North, 85 out of every 100 Negroes are literate. Compare this with the illiteracy of Hungary, 48 per cent of the male population come under that head; Spain's 62 per cent; Russia's 62 per cent; Servia's 79 per cent; Roumania's 88 per cent, while in Portugal 79 per cent of the population are illiterate "Forty years ago, the race was in poverty; Negroes now own $6,000,000 worth of property. The last census report shows that in the United States in 1900 there 746,717 farms operated by Negroes of which 716,514 were improved by buildings. These farms contain 38,233,933 acres. or 59,741 --- Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL heNegro mon last Sunday, Rev. R. R. g a Race to Help Itself."

Communicated. COLORADO STATESMAN. Feby. 19, 1906. Leaving Denver on 15th inst. I stopped overnight at Colorado Springs in the home of Father Rice who is without doubt the most remarkable and unique character in the West. Just to think of a man verging on 87 years, clear of head, strong physically, planning business enterprises and actively engaged pushing it to a successful issue. Next day I stopped over in Pueblo and had a conference with Rev. Owens. He is lining up his forces to build us the long desired and much needed new church in Pueble. We attended DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1906. Love feast at Rev. Brays church and had a splendid time. I came to La Junta on Saturday at 10 a.m., found Rev. Solly and his good people at the highest plane of material and spiritual success. Now a few words about this point. We have here a valley which is the scene of activity of varied forces. This wonderful Holbrook valley is the center of the Beet sugar and sugar industry. It is warm and fertile. 40 miles in length. A new railroad is being laid from Swink to Holbrook. A large sugar mill is being constructed at Swink to manufacture the beet product of this valley, it will cost $1,500,000. La Junta is on a young boom, new buildings going up all winter and new school house to be erected. Business taking on new life from surrounding activities and here we find Rev. William Solly in charge of the church. The good people here give him credit for organizing and unifying the forces here and inspiring them with life and lifting them to a plane of mental and spiritual usefulness, such as have not been known in the history of the church, and from all indications we may look for great things to be done ere conference time. It seems that the entire community is interested in the progress of the church, but among so many good workers I may venture to mention Messrs. Collins, Moore, Scott, Knight, Mesdames Berry, Scott, Clemons, Marshall, Davis, Tyler and Green. A number of our citizens here have secured creditable little homes. I might mention, Marshall, Scott, Berry, Garnett, Badgett, Wilson, Greve and Green. Several of them have business enterprises on a small scale. One of them is a young man, William Taylor, who learned the tailoring business at school in Scranton, Pa. He has been here less than a year, but in that time he has opened up a business, working with that earnestness which insures success. His business is well patronized and it will soon be necessary for him to enlarge his place of business. He is but 26 years of age and sets many young men of our race a good example to emulate. Yours respectfully, J. W. SANDERS. By the verdict of a jury in the fifth session of the Superior Court, Mathew Duncan, a Negro living in Cambrige, Mass., recovers three thousand dollars from the Boston Elevated Railway Company for injuries to his right hand. Duncan was working for the city of Cambridge on River street near Central square, last July, and had his hand crushed by a car which ran against a platform he was helping to hold. When Malindy Sings. The following poem of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar is considered by many to be one of his best: G'way an' quit dat noise, Miss Lucy— Put dat music book away; What's de use to keep on tryin'? Ef you practice twell you're gray, You can't sta't no notes a-flyin' Lak de ones dat rants and rings F'om de kitchen to de big woods When Malinda sings. You ain't got de nachel o'gans Fu, to make de soun' come right, You ain't got de tu'ns an' twistin's Fu' to make it sweet an' light.

Durango Notes. Harry Clay left here last Tuesday morning for Denver to stay indefinitely. A. L. Runyan of Maharra Medical school, Nashville Tenn., is expected to be in our midst soon. Mrs. O. Elliot, evangelist of the Colorado Conference is having quite a success conducting revival services here. The Valentine party given at the A. M. E. church by Mrs. J. S. Smith realized a snug sum for the current expenses of the church. Durango and Silverton afford every opportunity for employment for colored people with very good wages. An invitation is extended to all. Come. Frank Fitzhue one of Duraugo's foremost colored citizens has struck some very valuable copper ore in his mine. The indications are that in a months Mr. Fitzhue's mine will be one of the leading mines in this section of the state. The Clarion has been persistent in its contention that the young Negroes who are idle should be put to work. We make this contention because we know how damaging the conducts and character of the idler is to the race. It is taken for granted by the enemies that all the Negroes are lazy idle, shiftless and consequently dishonest. The whole race is measured and guaged and rated by the most worthless element in it. Good people are acting then, in their necessary self-defense when they see to it as much as they are able, that the ratio of idlers and vagrants is decreased. It is a sad commentary on the lives of many of our young people that they have learned to despise honest labor, and resolved to do as little work as possible. Until this condition changes the race must gravitate downward. Jehovah intended that every man should earn bread by the sweat of his face: the man who gets his bread otherwise contributes that much to the overthrow of good order and to the disruption of society. To allow a lazy man to exist in peace is to compromise with wrong and for all such compromise with wrong and for all such compromises humanity is left to suffer consequences that are not only ill but sometimes fatal. Above all things our people should be working people. Their condition demands that every one of them should be industrious, frugal, economical, honest and peaceable. So let them be, and await the glorious dawn of a happier tomorrow.—Clarion COLORADO STATESMAN S. H. HOESON.....City Editor JOS. D. D. RIVERS.....Manager 1824 Curtis St. Room 25.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. The strength of the Chinese boycott lies wholly in the encouragement given in Chinese by the Japanese success in the war with Russia. Large numbers of Japanese have scattered throughout the coast provinces of China since the war, and their tales of victory are doubtless largely responsible for the anti-foreign agitation. It is entirely possible that we will pay dearly for the late victory of our friends the Japs, over the Russians. DONT NOMINATE A LAZY MAN. It doesn't matter how honest or how popular a man may be; if he is layy he isn't fit to hold the smallest office in the state. The man who shirks is almost as dangerous as the man who grafts. He makes it possible for his subordinates to graft. The Republican party gave the workingmen of Colorado an honest dollar and a chance to earn it. This same party made it possible for any man to work when and where he pleases and for any wage he pleases. The same party has given the state a clean business administration. Prosperity is evidence on every hand. We are making an excellent record. Let's keep it up. See that not only honest but competent men are nominated for every office. These are the days when we "do things" and it taker able men to do them and do them right. THE CLANSMAN COMING NORTH. Thomas Dixon's play is coming to Denver. It is now at Topeka on its way West. The object of the managers of this company is not to confine the production to any one portion of the country but to spread it over the entire section thus making its work of creating prejudice and sentiment general rather than local. Now the matter begins to react Mr. Dixon appeared before a Police Magistrate in New York last week and sought police protection against threatened assault claiming to have received anonymous letters signed "The Negro Klu Klux Clan" threatening to lynch him if he did not cancel the dates of the Clansman. Thus the seed sown by this author is now beginning to appear and will soon have to be reaped. Action and reaction are equal forces exercised in opposite directions and any one who begins the one only invites the other. The sowing of race hatred is bound in the end to reap race antagonism and personal danger and cause both races to suffer. FREDERICK DOUGLAS. The 89th Anniversary of the great Frederick Douglas was fittingly celebrated by various clubs and societies throughout the country during the past week. The nearest approach to the birthday of the great leader is February 14th as to the exact date Douglas himself did not know but by the most careful inquiry and reckoning on his part Douglas accepted Feb. 14th as the day of his appach into the world. It is most fitting that the birth of this "Voice in the wilderness of prejudice and hate" should be commerated. While the race has produced many great and noble lives Douglas without comparison is the greatest of any. The interest which attached to his personality, the giant intellectual strength, his deep emotions, stirring thoughts, burning words and splendid service in behalf of freedom has won for him the highest place in the galaxy of thinkers and leaders. His place and power increases as time moves on. As a public speaker Douglas had no peer. A born opposer of usurpation, injustice and wrong his words burnt into the conscience of his hearers. The race is rich in orators but it is no disparagement to say that like "Soul among his brethren" he towered above them all. Had Douglas been thrown as a white man into the nations council even when Webster, Clay or Calhoun were in the ascendency, he still would have been the brightest light amid the galaxy of great Statesmen. He was the most remarkable man of Negro extraction that America has yet produced. Marylands greatest son, the races greatest champion and America's first representative Negro. The youth of the race could find no more worthy example emulate than Frederick Douglas. THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. The securing of $220,000 to erect a modern home for the Y.M. C.A. for Denver attracted a great deal of interest throughout the city. The success of this effort was upon the heart and tongue of every thoughtful man, woman, and child of this city. Such an institution means much for the benefit of the young men of this community and for the city itself. Its success involves benefits to the sons of every class in the city whether they be merchants, professional men, artisans or laborers. The campaign for funds was conducted in an aggressive business way and added new interest as it developed. The spirit of boosting became contagious and very soon there were extra committees, sub committees and individual committees and soon every body became a committee to see that the work succeed. The newsboys finally taking up the cry and marching the streets under a banner on which was subscribed "Everybody holler for a Dollar," The campaign succeeded—today the new building is an assured success. Denver will soon have a building thorough equipped and adopted to the needs of the Association. The Peoples Sunday Alliance is to be commended for its public spirit in subscribing to the fund. Thus bringing the Alliance into touch with all great public interests. The color question will no doubt be raised. In Chicago and other sections the Association rooms are open to all and no doubt in Denver the same plan will be followed. We believe there is no reason for separating the young men in this section and that it will not be done. No Wonder She Didn't Care. The little girls were sitting on the front porch counting "shooting" stars. "We had something last night that you didn't have," tauntingly remarked one of the older ones looking at 10-year-old Miss Muffet. "Bet you didn't. What did you have?" remarked Miss Muffet. "Claret sody," the tantalizer replied with a condescending smile. "That's nothing," Miss Muffet vouchsafed with supreme confidence. "I had a chocolate sundae and five cents' worth of candy, and I ate all the candy myself." "And when we came home," the older one continued, "we had some ice cream made in our own freezer." Miss Muffet paused a moment to think. Then she added with calm resignation: "Well, I don't care. I had the stummick ache anyway."—Kansas City Star. FARMER HAD QUEER RIDE Artemus Hope of Mentone had a strange, wild ride yesterday which he does not want to have repeated very soon, if ever. He was coming from several miles out in the country, riding in a platform buggy, and on top of this he was hauling home a neighbor's buggy that had been disabled in a runaway and was placed bottom-side up on Hope's buggy, with the wheels uppermost and firmly tied in place. Hope was sitting on some blankets that were laid on the upturned bottom of the neighbor's buggy and riding along quietly and peaceably when, just as he had got about half way down the long hill past the Hemerick farm, the horses became frightened, sprang to one side and tipped the buggy entirely over, bottom-side up. This maneuver brought Hope's buggy wrong-side up, but also brought the neighbor's vehicle right-side up, and, with Hope clinging like a bat beneath the combination of vehicles, the horses ran off down the road at a high rate of speed, paying no attention whatever to the frantic calls to "whoa" which Hope shouted to them from his perilous position, with nothing but his clinging hands and feet to keep him in place. It was hard work to hold on and his strength was just about spent when EGGS WORTH MVCH MONEY Rarest of all the eggs of a still existent family of birds is that laid by the condor. At the present moment there is not in existence one single dozen perfect specimens and the few there are can be seen solely in some of the wealthiest and richest collections. The condor, which is found in southern California and the Andes, is now hopelessly doomed to die out. It is also practically impossible to collect any fresh specimens of its eggs, as these rare and extremely shy birds nest thousands of feet above the plains, in the most rugged and inaccessible fastnesses of the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains. Hence finding and plundering a condor's nest is regarded as a wonderful and sensational event. A prize of $500 would not tempt any sane man to start out on the hunt for a fresh condor egg. Still more costly are the eggs of the great auk, or garefowl, l flightless marine bird with large head, heavy body and compact plumage, the last two living specimens of which were discovered and killed in Iceland in 1844. One of these eggs is now to be seen, carefully preserved under a TERMS USED IN AVSTRALIA Cockatoo is a word of varied meanings in Australia. It was originally a contemptuous nickname for the small Australian farmer, but was gradually accepted as a synonym for that class. "Cocky," says Prof. Morris, "is a common abbreviation." Anthony Trollope committed a good many blunders in his book describing his Australian tour. One of them was his definition of cockatoo: "It signifies that the man does not really till his land, but only scratches it as the bird does." A critic gives this as the true explanation: About 1860, when the great rush to the gold fields had ceased, immigrants turned to the land, swarmed all over the country, and ate up the substance of the squatters, who likened them to an invasion of devastating birds, and christened them "cockatoos." By 1867 the word had traveled to New Zealand, for Lady Barker, author of "Station Life in New Zealand," writing in that year, remarked: "I have heard a man say in answer to a question about his occupation, 'I'm a cockatoo.'" KEPT THE RETAINING FEE When Daniel Webster was at the zenith of his career, a gentleman waited upon him one day to engage him for the defense in an important case at law, the amount at stake in the suit being $80,000. The gentleman asked Webster what the retraining fee would be. "A thousand dollars." "A thousand dollars!" exclaimed the gentleman. "Yes. But think for a moment what I am engaged to do, sir. I do not only hold myself at your service in the matter, perhaps for a month or more, but I debar myself from accepting any offer, no matter how large, from the plaintiff." The applicant, being satisfied with the explanation, wrote out a check for the amount and gave it to the great advocate, who, after he had put it in his pocket, said: "I will now give you a bit of advice gratis. If you can compromise this business upon fair terms with the plaintiff, you had better do so." THE SWORD OF 1812 it has his name upon it. See, the letters are not clear. For the letters that blured by hands that touched them year by year. But if we bend and trace them we may then decipher all. You smile? he quaint old letters spell the name of 'Cuthbert Small.' A quaint old man he was—0, this was long, long years ago; His father was the faces that the old pictures show; A strong and earnest one, with lips that may cry that sometimes could be stern, but always be benign. And he was tall and soldierly; at his three score and ten His step was quick, he set the pace for many younger men; His hands were long, and you would look to see a queue. And to see ruffles on his shirt and buckle on each shoe. the rushing horses veered off to near the side of the road near the poor farm and running into a shallow ditch there tipped the combination vehicle entirely over again, this time with Hope's buggy right side up and the other inverted, and this placed the farmer in just the same shape he had been when he started. The lines were still within his reach, now that he could afford to use his hands to pull on them with, and he soon had the horses under control and drove into town all right. But here a new difficulty confronted him, for no one could believe his story, and after friends had smelled his breath and found he was not intoxicated, he was in a fair way to have a court of inquiry sit on him to investigate as to his sanity, but fortunately just as the matter was growing serious indeed two farmers came into town who had seen the strange spectacle as Hope rushed past beneath the rigs, his back scraping the ground and his voice shouting to the horses and their confirmation of his story restored his reputation for sanity at once and made him an object of pity instead of suspicion. The neighbor had agreed to pay $1 for having the buggy hauled in, but now he will not do so, for he claims that Hope used it to haul his own buggy on.—Cincinnati Enquirer. glass case, in the National museum at Washington. The original owner sold it in London for £22 ($110) in 1851, whereas its present value is estimated at more than $10,000. In 1853 two other auks' eggs were sold in London for £85 ($425) apiece, while in 1869 Lord Caervagh paid £74 ($370) for a damaged specimen. A Scotchman of the name of Powell got two of these eggs in Edinburgh in 1879 for 32 shillings. A few weeks afterward he sold them for £240 ($1,200) each. At the present time there are only from seventy to eighty specimens known to be still in existence. Twelve of these are in the British museum. This bird died out because of its inability to fly and of the difficulty of its movements upon dry land. It used to nest in thousands on Funk island, a rocky islet opposite the coast of Newfoundland, which at one time was used as a kind of provisioning station by whalers, who used to kill these fat and palatable birds in hundreds. The birds were knocked on the head with clubs, plucked—the feathers used to fetch a good price—and salted for future consumption. "Bushranger"—another instance of Australian slang—is a curious case of verbal degradation. From an etymological point of view there is no reason why bushranger should not be as respectable a word as parkranger. In the early Australian newspapers such advertisements as "Wanted, a good bushranger," were quite common. The word then meant an experienced bushman. But when the bush became the refuge of robbers of banks, mall coaches and lucky diggers, the word acquired the sinister meaning that it now possesses—brigand, outlaw, desperado. A "swagman" or "swaggie" (so called from the "swag," or personal luggage wrapped up in a blanket strapped to his back) is a genuine Australian traveler in search of work, but a "sundowner" is the antipodean professional tramp. The "sundowner" strolls from one squatter's station to another, always taking care to arrive at sunset, for it is the traditional practice of Australian squatters to give food and shelter to all comers for the night. The client expressed his thanks and took his leave. A few days after the gentleman called upon Webster again, and told him that a compromise had been effected and the matter satisfactorily settled. Webster duly congratulated his visitor on the result, and would have turned to other business, but the visitor seemed to have something further on his mind. "Of course," he ventured, after a pause, "I shall not require your services, Mr. Webster." "Certainly not, sir." "And how about the $1,000 I paid you?" faintly asked the gentleman, who was not quite reconcilled by paying such a sum for services which were never to be rendered. "Oh, ah!" responded Daniel, with a bland smile. "You don't seem to understand. It is very simple. That was a retaining fee—called in law a 'retainer.' By virtue of the contract I also become a retainer. What should I retain, if not my fee?" But this old sword—we gave it him; his country, yours and mine. And set his name upon it for some sort of grateful sign That whale heeds he did for us were cherished at their worth. That country love and courage were far more than wealth or birth. And how he used to tell of when the war of '12 was on! His brave old eyes would glimmer with the fire of days agone; His old white head would be flung back, back, back, back. And those who heard and saw must know to him his land was dear. Ho, Cuthbest Small this score of years and more gave love dust. But this old sword is clean keen and fair and free from rust— And all the fine old faith that you and your sword typified Is living now in every heart that beats with country pride. —W. D.

HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT. Recognition by Colleges of Importance of American Story. A little more than thirty years ago a boy could enter Harvard college and after four years graduate with the highest honors without knowing of the existence of the declaration of independence or when the constitution of the United States was framed, says Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader Magazine. What was true of Harvard was true of other universities and colleges. American history was not included in the scheme of the higher education. Boys entering college were required to know something of the history of Greece and Rome, but not of their own country. During the four years of the college course they had opportunity to study the history of England and Europe, but never to learn aught of the United States. This condition of education was merely an indication of an attitude of mind then passing away, but which had once been predominant. The usual opinion seems to have been during the first half of the nineteenth century that there was no American history worth telling, apart from the adventures of the revolution, which were both connected so closely with the history of Europe that they might be deemed of importance. --- JOHN H. HARRIS J. F. CLARK. ENDEARING TERMS LONG KNOWN Antiquity of Affectionate Diminutives for Parents. German chauvinism penetrates everywhere nowadays. Some earnest Teuton have started the idea that German children must drop the words "Mama" and "Papa" in favor of "Mutter" (mother) and "Vater" (father). "How," say they, "can anybody prefer the unmeaning 'Mama' to the deep and impressive 'Mutter'? Nothing can replace for a German the word 'Mutter,' certainly not the French 'Mama.'" A certain philologist, however, asks how it can be suggested that the word "Mama" is derived from the French, seeing that it is probably to be found in all languages of the world. In the numerous dialects of Africa and in India the word for mother is "Mama," which is given as a title of honor to every elderly dame deserving of esteem and respect. "Mama" and "Papa" (Baba) are so generally used in all parts of the world that they probably date back some thousands of years. STRUCK AT THE WHOLE BUNCH. No Wonder Batsman Was Able to "Line Them Out." In one of the smaller baseball leagues there was a player known throughout the league for his batting ability, and, strange to say, he hardly ever faced a pitcher when not, more or less, under the influence of liquor. This caused much comment among the "fans," and one day, after he had won a close and exciting game by one of the longest hits ever seen on the grounds, while he was so intoxicated that he could not stand before the pitcher without swaying from side to side, one of them was prompted by curiosity (for they know that it was not altogether a "lucky" hit, as he had done the same thing on several other occasions) to ask, "How is it you can bat so well when you can hardly stand on your legs?" "Well," the player said, "I'll tell you. When the pitcher delivers the ball to me I can see about half a dozen of them, and if I can't hit one of them I'm not much good, am I?"

BY FIFTEEN YEARS wORK Prohibits Shipment of Adulterated Foods, Drugs, Medicines or Liq- uors—Officials of Corpora- tlons Made Reaporaiin. | Washington.—After fifteen years’ o! more or less serious consideration o! the subject, the Senate Wednesday passed a pure food bill by the decisive vote of 63 to 4. The vote was taken ‘after a day devoted almost exclusively to debate of a desultory character on the measure. | Several efforts were made to amend the bill, and the committee accepted a number of suggestions, but only those thus accepted were incorporated in the bill as passed. pcite, bill makes it a misdemeanor tc ‘manufacture or sell adulterated or mis branded foods, drugs, medicines or liq uors in the District of Columbia, the territories and the insular possessions of the United States, and prohibits the shipment of such goods from one state to another or to a foreign country. 1 also prohibits the recetpt of suck goods. Punishment by fine of $500 01 by imprisonment for one year or both is preseribed. In the case of corporations, officials in charge are made responsible. The ‘Treasury Department and the depart ments of Agriculture and Commerc« | and Labor are required to agree upor ‘Tegulations for tho collection and ex amination of the articles ¢overed b3 ‘the Dill, but no specifie provision is ‘made for investigation except by the ‘Department of Agriculture. The bill also defines foods, drugs J medicines and Mauors, and. dafines the standards for them. ‘There is an ex ‘emption for dealers who furnish guar antees against adulteration and mis branding. Mr. Bailey discussed the constitu tional features of the bill, contending that the interstate commerce provi sions of the bill were invalld. He tool the position that the regulation o food, drugs, ete., belonged to the states, and that federal statutes shoul: not be resorted to for that purpose He said we needed better prosecuting attorneys, rather than more govern nient bureaus. “Begin as you are aving in this bil and you will soon have a department as powerful as the Postoffice Depart ment,” he said, and added: “{ doubt if any despotism in the world vesis in one individual as muel power as we give to the post aste! general, who can close any man’s bus iness by an edict from which he has n¢ appeal.” | 'The important amendments adopte¢ irchided the following: Changing the provisions regarding the misbranding of liquors so as t¢ make it read: “It shall be deemec misbranded if it is blended or recti fied, or consists of an admixture 0 different grades of the same thor o contains or is mixed with other sub stances and the word ‘blended,’ ‘recti fied’ or ‘mixed,’ as the case may be not plainly stated on the package, ete. ‘Mr, Money’s substitute bill and a1 amendment by Mr. Spooner avthoria ing the secretary of agriculture to fi standards of food, drugs and liquors were both voted down. On the final roll call, Bacon, Bailey Foster and Tillman, ‘all Denioerats were the only senators to cast thel votes in the negative. Insurance Swindle Case.

Denver.—An Associated Pross dis: patch from Boise, Idaho, states that Harry Orchard’s confession gives de- tails of the plot to assassinate Gover: nor Steunenberg from {ts inception. It gives the names of other men al- leged to be implicated. Since the con fession was secured the details have been verified in Denver and elsewhere. One of the statements in this con fession is that Orchard was selected to assassinate Justice Goddard of the Supreme Court of Colorado a year ago. He says he buried a bomb at the judge’s gate, but when he pulled the string the contrivance failed to ex: plode. He took the string away and gave up the attempt. The bomb ha» since been dug up. In his sonfession Orchard says he was alone in the actual execution of the Caldwell plot; that he had first planned to shoot Steunenberg with buckshot and went to the house on Christmas eve for that purpose, intend ing to shoot through the window, bu: abandoned the plan and hid a number of cartridges under the sidewalks. ‘The cartridges, it is claimed, have since been found by the officers. Denver—The News, in its report of the Orchard confession, says: ‘The confession of Harry Orchard, in jail at Bolse, Idaho. charged with the assassination of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, is made public. Orchard admits that he killed the gov ernor, and alleges that he was hired to commit the crime by the “inner cir- cle” of the Western Federation of Miners. He claims to haye attempted to dy- namite Justices Gabbert and Goddard of the Colorado Supreme Court, former Governor Peabody and others. He charges the leeders of the Western Federation of Miners with a long list of crimes, beginning with the assas sination of Arthur Collins in Telluride and ending with the murder of Steu- nenberg. The text of the confession is not given to the press, and the News is therefore enabled to print only a summary, A representative of the News discoy- ered that @rchard was employed as 2 spy by the Miner Owners’ association and the Florence & Cripple Creek Rail road Company during the great strike at Cripple Creek. He fled from the gold Gamp on the day of the Independ. ence depot explosion, and was charged with that crime. He reported all the proceedings of the union meetings to the Mine Owners’ association, and was in their employ at the time of the In: dependence explosion. Attorney E, F. Richardson was per. mitted to interview Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone in the prison at Boise, and the men learned for the first time of the nature of the crime with which they are charged. Mr. Richardson says h.g clients will demand an early trial. Kerwan, one of the vice presidents of the Western Federation of Miners, has taken charge of the Denver office, ‘and expresses his confidence in the in: nocence of the imprisoned leaders and says the federation will supply the funds needed for their defense. Several leaders of the miners’ organ- ization have been placed under arrest charged with complicity in the crimes described in Orchard’s confession. ONLY $25.00.

Senators Patterson and Perkins Define Their Positions. Washington. —In presenting pett- tions against Senator Reed Smoot, signed by thousands of women of Cal: ifornia and Colorado, Messrs. Perkins and Patterson took occasion to define their positions on the protests against the Utah senator. : Mr. Perkins said it was the duty of a senator to sit as a juror upon the conduct of a colleague and that the chief qualification to determine the member's eligibility was that he should be a good eltizen, an honest man, of gvod character, possessing all the at tributes that command the confidence and respect of his fellow men. What. ever his private belief, said Mr. Per: kins, religious matters should have no weight in disqualifying a member from occupying the high position of senator of the United States. Mr. Perkins spoke against retracing our steps to a period when religious war devastated the earth, He said that our govern: ment was built on freedom of con: seience and unquestioned individuality of expression concerning religious be lief, and no action should be taken ‘which would in the slightest degree abridge this freedom. “Mr. Patterson thought there were great constitutional questions to be considered and said these would gov- ern his vote. The petitioners had re- quested these senators to make some remarks in -presenting the prayers. SEED Local and Through Train Service sf NS) VIA THE oat eid) sees, Rio Grande System.

S. K, HOOPER, Gen. Passenger & Ticket Agent, Denver, Colo, PRESIDENT OF FRANCE. M, Fallieres Inaugurated as Successor to M. Loubet. Patis.—Clement Armand Fallieres on Sunday assumed the duties of pres- ident of France, while former Presi- dent Loubet passed into private life. The ceremony of the transmission of office took place in the Elysee palace at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, while the crowds were massed in the surround- ing streets shouting: “Long live the President” and “Long live Fallieres,” and every military garrison in France thundered a salute of twenty-one guns. President Loubet, surrounded by the members of his Cabinet, the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber and the members of his miltiary household, welcomed M. Fallieres, and, in a few earnest words, committed the execu- tive functions to the new President. ‘The reply of M. Fallieres was without formality. It was a simple acceptance o, the new responsibilities and an as- surance of his best efforts in carrying them out. ‘Sunday evening Premier Rouvier formaily handed the resignation of the Cabinet to President Fallieres, The new President, however, requested the | ministry to continue in office. Nature's Balance. The question may be asked, "What is to prevent the foe of these insect pests from becoming in turn an enemy itself?" In nearly every case the beneficent insect depends upon the injurious insect for its own subsistence. It will not thrive if it is robbed of its prey. So, whenever the foe insect becomes very numerous in an orchard, it does not do harm to the orchard, but only to the particular pest of the orchard which it antagonizes. It may never entirely destroy the pest, but it reduces it below the danger line, and keeps it there—the inevitable balance of nature. If the pest were wholly destroyed, its force also would disappear. —From W. S. Harwood's "Saving California's Fruit Crops" in the February Century. Sending Consumptives West.

CONSUMPTION TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905." Trans-Atlantic Traveler's Record. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, the veteran high commissioner of Canada, probably adds to his other distinctions that of being the holder of the record as a trans-Atlantic passenger. "I really have not kept count," he said, "of the number of times I have crossed. I believe I have voyaged to and from at least 150 times. "According to the steamship companies this is something near the record for a passenger. "I have seen many changes, indeed, am amazed at the wonderful advance made in the speed, size and comfort of ocean traveling. These new turbine steamers are marvelous."

The ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are just such as best serve to correct and cure all such derangements. It is made up without a drop of alcohol in its composition; chemically triple-raised, used instead of the commonly employed alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a valuable medicine, instead of a deleterious agent like alcohol, especially in the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the yellow forms M, M, of Finley Medical College, Chicago, says of it: "In dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose. It is one of the best manufacturering products, and it is the action upon enfeebled, disordered stomachs; especially if there is ulceration or catarrhal discharge. It is a most efficient preparation. Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric acidity. It is useful in the treatment of flatulent variety, and in certain forms of chronic constipation, stimulating the secretory and excretory functions of the intestinal tract. When combined, in just the right proportions, with Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen's root, Bloodroot and Mandrake root, or the extracts of these, as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, there can be no doubt of its value.

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 %-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. Truly the self-made man relieved his ancestors of a great deal of responsibility. A girl may be afraid of mice, but she has no fear of the microbes in kisses.

Appreciating that few Americans have anything like as much knowledge as they should possess concerning South America and Central America, Mr. John Barrett, American minister to Columbia, has offered three prizes through President Butler of Columbia University for the best papers or essays on the relations of the United States to the Latin American Republics, to be competed for by students of American colleges. The subjects are divided into classes, the first of which bears on the relations of the United States to the Latin American republics, while the second pertains more directly to the historical and political development of Latin America without regard to the United States. The following is a statement of the two classes of subjects upon which essays are invited: Class 1, Political and Economic—(1) The Monroe doctrine and its influence on the political and economic development of Latin America. (2) The influence of the Panama canal on the commercial and political development of Latin America. (3) Present conditions and future possibilities of the trade of the United States with South America. (4) The present material and economic progress of South America. (5) The practicability and utility of the proposed Pan-American railway. Class 2, Historical—(1) The influence and conditions that worked for the independence and establishment of the South American republics. (2) The influences and conditions that worked for the independence and establishment of the Central American republics and Mexico. (3) The character and achievements of Bolivar as shown in the struggle for the independence of northern South America. (4) The character and achievements of San Martin as shown in the struggle for the independence of southern South America. (5) The conditions surrounding and circumstances influencing the overthrow of the empire and establishment of the republic in Brazil. UNDER WHICH KING "The More Postum the More Food—the More Coffee the More Poison. The Pres. of the W. C. T. U. in a young giant state in the Northwest says: "I did not realize that I was a slave to coffee till I left off drinking it. For three or four years I was obliged to take a nerve tonic every day. Now I am free, thanks to Postum Food Coffee. "After finding out what coffee will do to its victims, I could hardly stand to have my husband drink it; but he was not willing to quit. I studied for months to find a way to induce him to leave it off. Finally I told him I would make no more coffee. "I got Postum Food Coffee, and made it strong—boiled it the required time, and had him read the little book, 'The Road to Wellville,' that comes in every pkg. "To-day Postum has no stronger advocate than my husband! He tells our friends how to make it, and that we got through the winter without a spell of the grip and has not had a headache for months—he used to be subject to frequent nervous headaches. "The stronger you drink Postum the more food you get; the stronger you drink coffee the more poison you get." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Add to this fares on railroads, for carriage hire, boats, etc., and the millions spent in shops for carved woodwork, clocks, toys of all kinds, souvenirs, laces, etc., and one begins to get a fairly good idea of what it means to Switzerland to have the Alps as a background for her financial progress and prosperity.

TO CURE THE GRIP IN ONE DAY ANTHGRIPINE NAS NO EQUAL FOR HEADACHE Nervous Women Their Sufferings Are Usually Due to Female Disorders Ferhaps Unsuspected A MEDICINE THAT CURES M. H. S. L. Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly;" or, "Don't speak to me." Little things annoy you and make you irritable; you can't sleep. you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in woman is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability; spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps; pain in the abdominal region and between the shoulders; loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a tendency to cry at the least provocation—all these point to nervous prostration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of prostration and suffering so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite. I could not walk and would walk the floor almost every night. "I had three doctors and got no better, and life was a burden. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has worked wonders for me. "I am a well woman, my nervousness is all comfort, my friends say I look ten years younger." Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all women of its virtues? Surely you cannot wish to remain sick, weak and discouraged, exhausted each day, when you can be as easily cured as other women. Many prospective purchasers of engines and bodies are under the impression that because the engine is under the pressure and because it is fitted with a balance valve and a main bearing, such as any Corllys engines of the same type, it is not priced that it is quite out of their reach.

CO., Detroit Mich. French Fancies. A very deep-pointed girdle of black panne velvet hooks in the back. At the top in the front, it is cut down and two shallow points at the top in the center. It is embroidered very lightly around both edges in silver, and silver medallions are applied on each side of the center front, there being three inches of the plain velvet between these silver appliques. In the back a single large medallion hooks over from side to side, concealing the joining of the belt at that point. Still another girdle shows down the center front a row of tiny French bows of velvet, each having a tiny rhinestone buckle in its center. Another has little rosettes with silver buttons as centers. Girl's Dress of Red Cloth. The skirt is made with a narrow tabler, trimmed with straps and loops of black velvet, fastened with steel VIVA buckles. The blouse, opening over a lace chemisette, and the short bolero, with large bertha, are both trimmed with the black velvet, the ends finished with loops and steel buckles. The leg o'mutton sleeves are finished with cuffs of lace headed by the velvet, and the belt is of velvet. Colors in Harmony. Certain browns and pinks consort most harmoniously and with much distinction, but one must choose the right shades. A pink broadcloth frock of creamy tea-rose tint, trimmed in brown velvet, worn with brown furs and a big pink tulle hat trimmed with brown plumes and a touch of fur around the big crown, excited much enthusiasm at a recent tea and the color scheme should suggest charming possibilities to any clever artist in dress. The finish of skirt is three applied bias tucks. A vest and collar of brown velvet, with a gold embroidered line, fills in front of coat and the belt around sides and back of coat is cloth piped with brown velvet. The deep-turned cuffs are similarly treated and fastened with two gold buttons. Tailor-Made Coat and Skirt The tailor-made of coat and skirt, to be worn with differing fancy blouses and bodices, maintains all of its modish consideration to a remarkable degree. One shows the short Eton with just self-strappings and a velvet collar for embellishment and a deep girdle of panne velvet adds to the smart effect. The skirt is one of those extreme patterns with inverted and well-nigh invisible plaits on the hips and just overlapping rows of strapping on the hem for trimming. Hats for Spring. As to colors of the hats which are being worn now and will be worn, the Millinery Trade Review's Paris correspondent says: "Variety in color is a particular feature of the new straws and hair weaves. All the leading series of shades adapted for the season are represented, but particular prominence is given to the new moss and spring greens, and to the lower-toned pinks, to the orchid mauves, sky and pale hyacinth colors, to the bright light wood browns and the lightest of terra cottas. "Individuality" in Dress. With the wide latitude which fashion now allows in the various lines of dress, it is not a difficult matter for miladi to follow individual ideas in her gowns and dress accessories. Indeed "individuality" has become the slogan of the well dressed. Some thing which is not only becoming, but expresses "her"—her taste, her individuality—original ideas adapted to her particular style. Sarah Bernhardt, with the authority of a great artist, who studies every point and with the inherent instinct of her country to please in appearance, dwells with emphasis upon the point of preserving and enhancing one's individuality. That one can do this and submit to the doctrine of imperious fashion is a paradox. The extremes of styles are most marked at the present moment, not only in materials, but in mode of construction as well. Simplicity walks hand in hand with an elaboration of trimming which quite bewilders the eye. The short-waisted effect is conspicuous in Paris. Exploited originally by WINTER COSTUMES FROM PARIS. Paquin, this model shows a draped belt having a round, slight dip in front. In this short-waisted class comes the new polo or pony coat, of which more anon. Directly in contrast with the short-waisted styles are the long coats, closely fitted as a rule, and severe and revealing in their lines. Boudoir Confidences A belt of peacock feathers, with a silver mounted bag to match, is novel. Have you seen those smart little braided loose coats, just reaching the hips? It takes a murderous array of hatpins to keep the modern chapeau in place. The traveling cloaks are smart enough to make any woman pine for a journey. Many of this year's coats boast of a cozy high collar, often luxuriously lined with fur. Babies of six months old are shod in boots of buckskin with soles as soft as a glove. The steel-studded elastic belts are general favorites and by no means insignificant in price. Auto hoods of rubber, lined with silk and provided with wide raincapes, are not really horrible. Scarfts of tinted liberty silk are worn again with street suits, their long bright ends fluttering from the coat front. Care of Street Gowns. There's nothing which tends to lengthen the life of a good street suit so definitely as taking it off as soon as you come in, brushing it and putting it away on its hanger. Lounging, as you're bound to do in a measure in your home, plays havoc with tailored clothes. It's rather a temptation to sink into an easy chair when you come in, just tired enough to enjoy the prospect of idling for a little while, but those very times take the life out of the sort of cloth that tailors sell, and probably lays fine little creases which result in incorrigible mussing. It's rather a temptation, too, to hang it up and postpone brushing and putting away properly to a later time, when you're rested, but it pays to do it at the time, for dust should be got rid of before it has time to settle into the cloth and give it that dingy look which mars so many otherwise good-looking suits, and careful hanging prevents forming of bad lines. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Spar varnish is the liquid to use on all furniture for out-of-door use, as it is both weatherproof and lasting. A few pieces of glue tucked into the earth around house ferns and palms will furnish the soil fertilizer in an inoffensive manner. The southern laundress ties a lump of arrowroot in a thick cotton cloth and boils it with the fine white pieces to give them a dainty odor more delightful than from sachet powder. If there are no flowers for the table. WINTER COSTUM The first illustration shows a tailor-made costume of striped cloth. The skirt is made with a group of stitched plaits on each side of the front, and is trimmed at the bottom with a shaped band of the material, the ends turned up in front and fastened with buttons. The short, half-fitting jacket is also made with a group of plaits on each side of the front, and shaped bands from the border and the odd yoke. The collar and cuffs are of Persian lamb, the latter finished at the top with little plaitings of silk matching the gown. The muff is also of Persian lamb. The other is a calling -os break off a few of the finer sprays of the Boston fern, arrange loosely in a low glass bowl with water, and the delicate green sprays will last for a week and make a dainty centerpiece. A glue which will resist the action of water is made by boiling half a pound of common glue in one quart of skimmed milk. Another method is to soak the glue till soft in cold water, and then to dissolve it on the stove in linseed oil. Parisian Skating Costumes The costume at the left is of dark green cloth. The skirt is trimmed with bands of the material, forming loops at the ends fastened with buttons. The jacket, with yoke and boiler fronts, is trimmed to correspond. The revers are of light cloth, ornamented with buttons and buttonholes. 1 The turnover collar and cuffs are of caracul. The other costume is of ruby red cloth. The princess skirt, with narrow breadth or panel in front, is encircled at the bottom with two rows of braid. The short bolero is also trimmed with the braid and with buttons, and has little embroidered revers. The waistcoat and collar are of velvet. Chicken Mexican. One chicken, two small onions; one egg; half a green pepper; two teaspoons of salt; one teaspoon of spearmint; one small clove of garlic; one teaspoon of lard; three tablespoons of flour; one teaspoon of black pepper. Remove the meat from the bones and chop very fine with the garlic, one onion, and mint. Mix the other ingredients, and roll in balls about the size of a pigeon's egg. Mince the other onion, fry it brown in a saucepan, add two quarts of boiling water, drop in, and let them boll for an hour. These may also be made of veal or lamb. Effective Street Costume. Rather showy, but in good taste and delightfully effective, is a model in dark green broadcloth, and it is admirably appropriate for street costume for the debutante. Applied pieces of cloth trimmed with tiny gold buttons and set on bottom of skirt at stated intervals, making a unique foot finish. The short eton jacket is also trimmed with cloth bands and buttons, the former making the front lapels, which open over a vest of dark tan kid. The small revers at neck are green velvet. ES FROM PARIS. tume of violet cloth. The new and odd skirt is made with 10 gores mounted to a fitted hip-yoke, the gores ornamented at the top with points of velvet of a little dark shade shade than the cloth. The bolero is made and trimmed to correspond, and is ornamented in front with passementerie brandenburgs. The knot, edge and girdle are of velvet, the first ornamented with a gold buckle. The collar and cavat are also of velvet, the chemisette of linen. The sleeves are platted and draped and ornamented with points of velvet. They are finished with deep cuffs trimmed with bids of the material.
