SOME OTHER REPUBLICAN W. H. Duncan of Colorado Sp Western Negro Press As the El Paso County De gro for Supporting th To the El Paso County Democrat:— In your issue of February 22, 1906, there appeared an article headed, "Some Reasons for Republican Success," you say the Republican party is dominant in this country at present, and, whether right or wrong a great many thousand people in a country of this size are always ready to stand up and be counted in that Band Wagon which is in the lead, that is the only reason the Republicans are dominant. "Four other reasons are that for over 40 years it has been successful in making the old soldiers and the Negroes believe that the Republican party was responsible for their existence." Now in regard to the old soldiers, a majority of whom are white, I have but little to say; as I am fully convinced that they are in a position to answer for themselves. Not so with the unfortunate Negro. I can say without fear of contradiction that the Negro's opportunities for stating his side of any question, especially through the white newspapers, is indeed very limited and to my personal knowledge the El Paso County Democrat is the first white paper of any prominence in El Paso County to offer space in its columns for the defense of my race without "strings attached." It is true that a large percentage of the Negro vote in the states where their right of suffrage are permitted naturally goes to the Republican party, from the fact that it was the Republican party that placed every law upon the statute book that has in any way been of advantage to the Negro politically. The Republican party has held that the Negro who was able to withstand the horrors of war, such as he experienced during the latter years of the Great American Rebellion, ought to at least have an opportunity of casting his ballot for the party of his choice. The Republican party believed at the time the law giving the Negro right of suffrage was enacted if he was brave enough and good enough to defend the flag and fight to overthrow an institution that he of all people was the most interested in --- Society, Denver, Colo NEW LAW Everybody RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL REASONS FOR N SUCCESS.

If my memory serves me right and if American history is correct, the Democratic party has never claimed any responsibility for the freeing of the slave. As to the political conditions in the South immediately after the war I must say that I could never agree with a large number of my fellow citizens situated North of the Ohio river. I think that carpet-bag-ism, the ignorant condition of the newly made citizen, the undue interference by unscrupulous men of the North toward the people of the South caused a great deal of unkindly feeling that exist to this day between ex-master and ex-slave. You speak about corporate interest, insurance grafters and the like. As to that part I must agree with you as far as it goes. The tyrannical commercialism of today is gnawing at the vitals of our government. The constitution of the United States, as far as it relates to the Negro, has been trampled under lawless feet. Party pledges have been broken and the conscience of the nation is benumbed with graft. Private corporations throughout the land are honey-combed with rottenness, and in the shuffle the Negro has been lost sight of, except in those states where his votes can be used to party advantage. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Tillman, the fire-eating senator of South Carolina, seem to be able to get together on the railroad rate bill. Why not Mr. Roosevelt, and the scared "Negro Domination" senator from Maryland. Mr. Gorman get together on the Negro question and give to the Negro the right that the Constitution guarantees him—a right to cast his ballot and have it counted for the party of his choice? I, for one, do not want agitation at this time for the rights of Negro Americans, but I am fully convinced there will be no cessation of the agitation. There will be no pause in the battle, for the Negro Americans realize as never before that that the time has come for them to act or perish, and they feel that it is better, if they must die for it, --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1906 to be by the still waters in a conflict for the cause of liberty. It was the Republican party that gave to the country the Freeschool system, the only hope for the education of the Negro youth. It was the Democratic party that opposed it. The Negro, who for two hundred and fifty years endured as cruel bondage as ever existed under heaven and was loyal to a flag that knew him not, is today denied certain privileges in the South by Democratic rule that their former masters would have granted even previous to the war. The people of the South said to the Negro, "get education, get wealth" and now over fifty-two per cent. of the Negroes in the South can read and write. They pay taxes on over $450,000,000 worth of property. I will ask you and pause for an answer, where under heaven has any race under like circumstance, race hatred and W. H. [Name not visible] W. H. DUNCAN. persecution, has made the progress the Negro has made in the short space of forty years. The Republican party was responsible for the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution. The amendment was passed for the expressed purpose of giving to the emancipated citizen of the United States the right of suffrage. The Democratic party opposed that, but the Democratic party favors the votes of all white citizens, native or foreign, regardless of character or past history, no matter where born, so long as said white person is opposed to the progress of the Negro. The Democratic South of to-day dominates the country. Gorman, Till- man and Vardaman are the shining lights, breast plates and shield of the Southern Democracy, and the Northern branch bows to their whims without making any serious objection. If the Democratic South would do their duty toward the Negro of the country and show a half way disposition to give him a square deal, the Republican party would soon go out of existence. But so long as Tillman, Vardaman, Gorman and Dixon are in the saddle of the South, so long will the Negro continue to vote the Republican ticket. Can you blame them? No self respecting Democrat should expect otherwise of him. No sane, thoughtful Negro will say that the Republican party is Godlike. The thoughtful, intelligent, reading Negro knows full well, that the Republican party, from a national, standpoint, has been guilty of many broken promises, has placed meaningless words DUNCAN. in their party platform for no other reason than to solidify the Negro vote for their party. The Negro knows that the white North has prejudice as well as the white South; the Negro knows that the white Republicans of the South are just as bitterly opposed to the progress and welfare as the white Democrat, but of course he is not so bold and not so honest as the Southern Democrat. That is one redeeming feature of the Southern man—hs is sincere when it comes to opposing the Negro in his uplift, and I, for one, think a great deel more of a Northern Democrat than a Southern Republican. I repeat again, the Democratic South controls the politics of the United States, as far as it concerns the Negro. Why has the South such an immense influence in shaping the Nation's life? Neither since or before the Civil War could it boast of greater territory, population or wealth than the North. Indeed, that section of the country has never had a superabundance of anything which truly constitutes a people great or mighty, and yet the Wilmont Proviso, the Fugitive Slave Law and the Missouri Compromise were concessions made to the Democrats of the South. The South has never compared with the North in wealth, manufactures, skilled artisanship, nor even in its product of the soil, and yet it dominated the legislature of the country before the Civil War and controls the policy of the nation to-day, as far as it affects the Negro. After an exhausting four years' war, in which it secured everything it designed, slavery alone excepted, it defies the constitution and is doing as it pleases. Witness the amended constitutions of the Southern states by which three white men in the South exercises the same suffrage powers that seven white men do in the north. More than two-score congressman of the South to-day are occupying seats in Congress who have no more legal rights to them than the Czar of Russia. The South has always dominated the country, and to-day the old soldiers and the Republicans of the north stand idly by and witness the usurpation of so-called reconstructed rebels, who were subdued, but not conquered by the result of the war. Now, don't understand me to be sore on Southern people as a whole, for I am not. Some of my best and truest friends are people who reside in the mountains of Tennessee and the sandy plains of Georgia. My object in placing the above matter before the reading public is for the purpose of explaining why the Negro supports the Republican ticket. The Negro considers, and I believe justly, that the Democratic party, under its present control of ignorance and prejudiced men, is against his interests and welfare. What the people of the South most need is more intelligent preachers and unprejudiced teachers, less hell fire and damnation for the future and more fairness and good fellowship for the present. Eliminate politics from the race question and endeavor to give every man a square deal. Against the Newest Method. The greatest boons that medicine has ever conferred upon humanity have been met at first with the most violent opposition, amounting in some cases almost to persecution. When Pare introduced the ligature he was greeted with a perfect storm of ridicule and abuse, and finally, in self-defense had to show that the idea was not strictly original, but might be traced in the writings of Hippocrates. NO. 26. The Rev. J. W. Pollett, pastor of St. Luke's African Methodist Episcopal church Harrisburg, Pa., was shot by his sixteen-year-old wife last Saturday morning at their residence, the bullet lodging in Pollett's right arm, causing a compound fracture. The woman was married less than a year ago, and was formerly in the chorus of Williams and Walker, the colored comedians. Pollett says he knows of no reason for his wife's attempt on his life. She is in jail on a charge of felonious assault and battery. Xenia, O.—For several years past two or three colored men have been especially interested in finding employment outside of domestic circles. A few month ago these men succeeded in interesting Messrs. Flynn, Tresize and Drees, of the Xenia Shoe Manufacturing Co., in opening up a branch factory for the employment of colored girls, who are now unemployed and anxious to work. The project was considered favorably, and as a result the factory is now in operation, the second story of the old Trebeins mill on South Detroit street having been fitted up and equipped with machinery. The room is nice and clean, well lighted, etc., and will accommodate 200 girls when in full capacity. The Baltimore Sun says that on Thursday,'March 1, J.J. McCarthy and another white man, advance agentsof Tom Dixon's "Clansman," were obliged to leave the St. James hotel there because "every Negro in the place from the head waiter down to the bell boy refused to do anything for them" on account of their connection with the play. The Sun says that "McCarthy complained to Mr. Samanni, the proprietor of the hotel, but he said that he "could do nothing with the waiters," so the gents (?) took the train for New York. Before leaving they "paid their respects" to the white "sentimentalist" (who they claimed were the Constitutional League) that put Negroes up to it, in that way seeking to "strike 'Mr.' Dixon a blow in the back." Henry Guy Carleton of Jackson, ville, Fla., in a letter to the New York Sun writes that God has given no race a monopoly of the noble trait of bravery. He says: "How many cowards, brown or white, showed in the trenches of Port Authur or on the plains of Liaoyang?

Samuel Gompers, president, and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, headed the delegation, which consisted of about a hundred members of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor and officials of the organizations which comprise the federation. Practically all of the important labor organizations of the country were represented. Secretary Morrison read to the President a memorial of the executive council of the American Federation urging action on the various demands for legislation being made by organized labor interests of the country. The memorial dwelt particularly on the nine-hour law and its enforcement on government works, including the Panama canal and the immigration laws, especially the Chinese exclusion laws. President Gompers and James Duncan of Quiney, Massachusetts, first vice president of the federation and president of the Granite Cutters' union, followed with brief addresses on the lines of the memorial. President Roosevelt, after listening to the statements, replied in an extended address. On the subjects of general immigration and the exclusion of Chinese labor the President indicated that he was in practical accord with them, but on some other matters he differed from them radically. The text of the President's remarks follows: "Mr. Gompers, if your body objects to the passage of the proposed anti-junction bill I have no question that you can stop it, for there is not a capitalist concerned who simply a capitalist is not against it; though I believe that a goodly number both of capitalists and wage workers who are concerned primarily as citizens favor it. "The law was worked over and substantially whipped into its present shape at a number of conferences between representatives of the railroad organizations and the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Corporations with me. It goes as far as I personally think it should go, in limiting the right of injunction; at any rate no arguments have hitherto been advanced which make me think it should go farther. I do not believe it has any chance of passing, because there has been great criticism in both houses or Congress against the attitude of the administration in going so far as we have gone, and if you think it is not far enough, why, you will have no earthly difficulty in killing the bill. Personally, I think the proposed law a most admirable one, and I very sincerely wish it could be put through. "As for the right of injunction, it is absolutely necessary to have this power lodged in the courts, though, of course, any abuse of the power is strongly to be reprobated. During the four and a half years that I have been President I do not remember an instance where the government has invoked the right of injunction against a combination of laborers. We have invoked it certainly a score of times against combinations of capital, I think possibly oftener. Thus, though we have secured the issuance of injunction in a number of cases against capital, it has happened that we have never tried to secure an injunction against a combination of labor. But, understand me, gentlemen, if I ever thought it necessary; if I thought a combination of laborers was doing wrong, I would apply for an injunction against them just as quickly as against so many capitalists. "The conditions of labor, such as we have to work with in the tropics, are so absolutely different that there is no possible analogy between them, and an eight-hour law for the Panama canal is an absurdity. Every one of you knows that we can not get white labor; can not get labor of the United States to go down to Panama and work. We are driven to extremities in the effort to get any kind of labor at all. Just at the moment we are working with negro labor from the West Indies. The usual result in the employment of these men is that Monday and Tuesday they work fairly well, Wednesday and Thursday there is a marked falling off and by Friday and Saturday not more than a half, sometimes less than a fourth of the laborers will be at work. The conditions that make the eight-hour law proper here have no reference to the conditions that make the eight-hour law entirely improper there. The conditions are so utterly different on the isthmus as compared to here that it is impossible to draw conclusions affecting the one from what is true about the other. You hamper me in the effort to get for you what I think you ought to have in this connection when you make a request that is indefensible, and to grant which would mean indefinite delay and injury to the work on the isthmus. "As to the violations of the eight-hour law, Mr. Morrison, you give me no specifications. At your earliest convenience please lay before me in detail any complaints you have of violations of the eight-hour law. Where I have power I will see that the law is obeyed. All I ask is that you give me the cases. I will take them up, and if they prove to be sustained by the facts, I shall see that the law is enforced." "Now, about the Chinese exclusion. The number of Chinese now in this country is, if I remember right, some 60,000 or 70,000. So far from there being a great influx of the Chinese, the fact is that the number has steadily decreased. There are fewer Chinese than there were ten years ago; fewer than there were twenty years ago; fewer than there were thirty years ago. Unquestionably some scores of cases occur each year where Chinese laborers get in either by being smuggled over the Mexican and Canadian borders, or by coming under false certificates, but the steps that we have taken, the changes in the consuls that have been made within the last few years in the Orient, and the effort to conduct examinations in China before the immigrants are allowed to come here, are materially reducing even the small number of cases that do occur. "But even as it is, the number of these cases is insignificant. There is no appreciable influx of Chinese laborers, and there is not the slightest or most remote danger of any; the whole scare that has been worked up on the subject is a pure chimera. It is my deep conviction that we must keep out of this country every Chinese laborer, skilled or unskilled—every Chinaman of the coolie class. This is what the proposed law will do; it will be done as effectively as under the present law, and the present law is being handled with the utmost efficiency. But I will do everything in my power to make it easy and desirable for the Chinese of the business and professional class; the Chinese travelers and students to come here, and I will do all I can to secure their good treatment when they come; and no laboring man has anything whatever to fear from that policy. I have a right to challenge you as good American citizens to support that policy; and in any event I shall stand unfinchingly for it, and no man can say with sincerity that on this, or indeed on any other point, he has any excuse for misunderstanding my policy. "You have spoken of the immigration laws. I believe not merely that all proper steps should be taken to prevent the importation of laborers under any form, but I believe further that this country ought to make a resolute effort from now on to prevent the coming to this country of men with a standard of living so low that they tend, by entering into unfair competition, to reduce the standard of living of our own people. Not one of you can go further than I will go in the effort steadily to raise the status of the American wage-worker, so long as while doing it, I can retain a clear conscience and the certainty that I am doing what is right. I will do all in my power for the laboring man except to do what is wrong; and I will not do that for him or for anyone else. "Now I come to the general subject of your petition. I wish in the first place to state my regret that you did not divorce so much of the petition as refers to the action of the executive from so much as refers to the action of the legislative branch, because I can not consider any petition that reflects upon the co-ordinate branch of the government or that makes any charges whatever against it. I would not even receive it save for the fact that in part it affects the executive. Therefore, in what I have to say I shall limit myself solely to what you assert in reference to the acts of the executive. "You speak of the eight-hour law. Your criticism, so far as it relates to the executive, bears upon the signature of the appropriation bill containing the money for expenditure on the Panama canal, with the proviso that the eight-hour law shall not there apply. If your statement is intended to mean that no opportunity was given for a hearing, then the statement is not in accordance with the facts. There was ample opportunity that any one could be heard, but not a single request for such a hearing came to me. I received, however, some hundreds of telegrams and letters requesting the veto of the entire appropriation bill because it contained that proviso. Frankly, I found it difficult to believe that you were writing and telegraphing with any kind of knowledge of the conditions in the case. I believe emphatically in the eight-hour law for our own people. "We must not let our natural sentiment for succoring the oppressed and unfortunate of other lands lead us into the warped moral and mental attitude of trying to succor them at the expense of pulling down our own people. Laws should be enacted to keep out all immigrants who do not show that they have the right stuff in them to enter into our life on terms of descent equality with our own citizens. This is needed first in the interests of the laboring man, but furthermore in the interests of all of us as American citizens; for, gentlemen, the bonds that unite all good American citizens are stronger by far than the difference, which I think you accentuate altogether too much, between the men who do one kind of labor and the men who do another. As for immigrants, we cannot have too many of the right kind and we should have none at all of the wrong kind; and they are of the right kind if we can be fairly sure that their children and grandchildren can meet on terms of equality our children and grandchildren, so as to try to be decent citizens together and to work together for the uplifting of the Republic. "Now, a word as to the petitioning of employees of Congress. That stands in no shape or way on a par with the petitioning of men not employed by the government. I can not have and I will not have, when I can prevent it, men who are concerned in the administration of government affairs going to Congress and asking for increased pay. Their business is to come through the heads of departments. This applies to postmasters, to army and navy officers, to clerks in the government departments, to laborers—it applies to each and all, and must apply as a matter of simple discipline." Earlier in the day the delegation called on Senator Frye, president of the Senate, and Speaker Cannon, and laid before them the same memorial. Dewey Wants Big Ships Washington.—Great battleships like the 18,000-ton battleship Dreadnaught (English) are the crying need of the American navy, according to Admiral Dewey, who appeared before the House committee on naval affairs to discuss the future of the American navy. At least two of the 18,000-ton battleships with ten 12-inch guns each should be authorized at once, in Admiral Dewey's opinion. He would have these of American designs, and thinks we should be creative, rather than imitative, in developing the navy. Admiral Dewey also believes extensive experiments with submarine boats should be carried on. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS The scrub women of Malne are organizing a union and will demand a uniform rate of 20 cents an hour. Andrew Carnegie has given Drury College (Congregational), at Springfield, Missouri, $50,000 without any condition. Andrew Carnegie has given $45,000 to Coe College, at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The college will erect a $100,000 science hall. King Edward has sold to a dealer the $20,000 collection of 150 etchings presented to Queen Victoria in 1887, by Whistler, the artist. Three hundred independent telephone companies in Iowa are perfecting an organization to fight the Bell Telephone Company in that state. The total loss in nineteen provinces of Russia investigated by special commissions inquiring into the agrarian troubles of last year was $15,500,000. There was great rejoicing at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, over the passage of the statehood bill by the Senate and universal concurrence in the amendments. A severe earthquake is said to have occurred at Kagil, Formosa, March 17th. Hundreds of buildings were destroyed and many hundreds of people were killed. The new child labor law, passed by the Iowa Legislature and signed by the governor, prohibits the employment of children under eighteen in any occupation injurious to health. Gross earnings of $42,518,000, a decrease of $1,175,000 as compared with the preceding year, are shown by the annual report of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company for 1905. Andrew Carnegie's spelling reform movement finds little favor with British authors. Charles Algerius Swineburne describes the movement as a "monstrous, barbarous absurdity." Both houses of Congress have passed the bill to give the Soldiers' home at Hot Springs, South Dakota, 200 acres of government land for a park in connection with the home. A military train armed with machine guns and quick fireers and intended for use in punitive expeditions, which has arrived at Kieff, Russia, is said to have developed a speed of 100 miles an hour. It is stated at Berlin that the Russian loan that will be issued after the Moroccan question is settled will amount to $250,000,000 and possibly more. New York's percentage will be small. President Roosevelt is now honorary member of the United Veterans, having been elected by the camp at Poplar Bluffs, Missouri. The organization is composed of Union and Confederate soldiers. The leader of the Chinese rebels of Kuang Si province and three others who were implicated in the attack on the house of the Rev. Dr. Andrew Beatie, the American missionary at Fattin, in February, were beheaded March 12. An airship company, having for its definite object to conduct an experiment with war craft, has been formed at Berlin. The directors are hardheaded persons who take up the matter from patriotic impulses and with the patronage of the emperor. Robert L. Gregory, a wholesale grocer, is the Democratic candidate for mayor at Kansas City. The platform advocates municipal ownership of all public utilities, and urges that no franchises shall be granted or extended without adequate compensation to the city. The right of a labor union to conduct a strike was sustained by Judge Howard Ferris of the Superior Court in Cincinnati. The case was that of the Perkins-Campbell Company against the United Leather Workers, the company seeking to enjoin the union from striking. S. H. Kauffman, president of the Evening Star Newspaper Company of Washington City, president of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, a former president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, and one of the best known men in Washington, died March 15th. The sugar war between Claus Spreckels' Western refinery in California and the Sugar Factory Company of Honolul has caused the former company to bring raw sugar to the coast from Cuba. Mr. Spreckels has put in a line of sailing vessels for this purpose. He also will get cargoes from Java and the Philippines. Frank Culver, an attorney, has filed a bill in Chicago in which he complains of alleged excessive rates on insurance instituted last May by the supreme council of the Royal Arcanum and asks that the order be prevented by an injunction from placing the rates in effect. The suit is similar in character to actions that have been filed in other states. Options were recently closed on 2,460 acres of ground adjoining Indianapolis at a cost of $650,000. Six hundred and forty acres will be used by the New York Central system for central repair shops to employ 5,000 men. The other land will be used for a model railroad city. The New York Central system has appropriated $3,500,000 for the work. When the news of the defeat of joint statehood reached Tucson, Arizona, whistles were blown, firecrackers exploded and crowds cheered on the streets. A procession, headed by Mayor Manning and the principal citizens paraded the streets from 7:30 until 9:30. Fifty riflemen fired blank cartridges in steady volleys from wagons as the procession progressed to the accompaniment of red light, cheers, illuminated homes, ringing of bells and blowing of sirens. Governor Higgins of New York has issued a further reprieve until May 18th in the case of Albert. T. Patrick, whose sentence of death for the alleged murder of William Marsh Rice, the governor had already delayed from January 22d to March 19th. The respite is at the joint request of District Attorney Jerome and the attorneys for Patrick, in order to alow time to continue the proceedings on the motion for a new trial now pending in New York City.

Denver.—Notwithstanding the recent disclosures in the methods of some of the large life insurance companies, there were taken out in Colorado during the year 1905 nearly 6,000 more policies than were issued during 1904, an increase of more than seven per cent. This and other interesting facts will be brought out in a report shortly to be issued by the State Insurance Department. Deputy Insurance Commissioner E. E. Rittenhouse has had the report in course of preparation for some time, and in view of the great public interest in insurance matters, it is expected that it will be of more than ordinary timeliness. There were in force in Colorado on December 1, 1905, 80,954 life insurance policies. At the close of the year 1904 there were 74,962 policies in force. Life insurance companies doing business in Colorado at the close of last year had policies in force in Colorado to the amount of $113,381,659. At the end of 1904 the amount of policies in force was $107,332,268. Life companies wrote last year in Colorado $25,056,156, an increase of $1,887,211, or about seven and one-half per cent. They received in premiums in Colorado during 1905, $1,084,851,44, an increase of $236,638,55, or about six per cent. Losses incurred by life companies in Colorado during 1905 were $1,211,386,56, an increase of $76,225,46, or about six and one-half per cent. Total insurance of all classes written in Colorado in 1905 amounted to $293,013,685, which shows an increase of $9,863,821, or about three per cent. The total premiums paid for all classes of insurance reached $7,664,415, an increase of $507,491, or about fifteen per cent. Total losses incurred on all classes of insurance were $3,277,411, an increase of $667,445, or about twenty per cent. The two per cent, tax paid by all insurance companies amounted to $153,288, an increase of $15,403, or about ten per cent. The fire risks written in Colorado in 1905 were $168,770,512, an increase of $7,589,324, or about four and one-half per cent. The premiums paid to fire insurance companies last year were $2,534,420, an increase of $132,627, or about one-half of one per cent. The losses incurred during this period by all fire insurance companies amounted to $1,506,366, which is an increase of $574,208, or about thirty-eight per cent. GOVERNOR OF IDAHO. Issues Letter to Labor Unions of the Country. Boise, Idaho—As a result of thousands of letters and resolutions sent Governor Frank Gooding of this state, asking for a fair and impartial trial of the accused officers of the Western Federation of Miners, Haywood, Pettibone and Moyer, Governor Gooding has issued the following proclamation to the labor unions of the country: "To the Labor Unions of the United States: There has been considerable said in connection with the arrests of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners and the confession made by Harry Orchard, who has declared, in a sworn confession, that he, in response to arrangements with the accused officers of the Western Federation of Miners, did murder the late Governor Steuenberg of this state. The discussion has involved certain allegations, the manner of arrest and subsequent proceedings. "I desire to say to the labor unions of the country that if by some arrangement the various unions will arrange to send a delegation to this city I will be pleased to allow that delegation to meet Harry Orchard personally and to hear him go over the story told the state's attorney and the detectives. They can remain with him in my chamber and hear him tell all over again what he has already told us. I will also present to them Steve Adams who has also made a confession. "Further than this, I want to assure every person, whether he be a union man or non-union man, that the state of Idaho will give the accused men a fair chance to defend themselves, and as fair a trial as was ever held will be given these men. Men, you need have no fear of a mis-trial. Upon conviction, if the unions believe that an unfair or biased trial was given, then you can remember that I still have the power, as the governor of this state, to hear your grievance and prevent a miscarriage of justice. "The state of Idaho has a fair name to preserve, and as governor I will do all in my power to do it." Colorado Bills Reported. Washington.—Representative Hogg appeared before the public lands committee Wednesday and secured a favorable report upon his bill creating Mesa Verde National park. A similar bill has passed the Senate and Representative Hogg anticipates getting his measure through the House and its enactment into law at this session. Representative Brooks secured a favorable report from the public lands committee on his bill giving Canon City 5,000 acres of land along the Arkansas river, including the Royal Gorge, to be used by the city for public park purposes. Upon the recommendation of Representative Brooks, the President has decided to appoint Rev. Washington E. Gladden of Colorado Springs as chapain for the Twenty-fifth United States infantry. Dr. Gladden, who is a colored Baptist clergyman, was endorsed by Bishop Grant of the Methodist Church and by the state and national colored Baptist organizations. He was recommended also by Booker Washington. Moffat Road Bonds New York.—Edward Sweet & Co. have bought $10,000,000 more of the four per cent. bonds of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific railway, which David H. Moffat is building from Denver to Salt Lake City. About 100 miles of the 500 projected are now in operation. Extension plans are also under way. BERING TUNNEL IS FAVORED BY THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. TO LINK U. S. WITH RUSSIA Scheme of Trans-Alaskan-Siberian Company—All Rail From New York to Europe. St. Petersburg.—The sympathy of Emperor Nicholas, Premier Witte and other members of the ministry, as well as of powerful influences at court, have been enlisted by Baron Loicq De Lobel in the project of the trans-Alaskan-Siberian Company for the construction of a tunnel under Bering strait from East cape to Kansk and 3,000 miles of railroad to connect it with the Siberian railwya. The opposition of a portion of the bureaucracy which fought the scheme bitterly because the negotiations were conducted over their heads is breaking down. The outlook for a favorable decision is now bright. In addition to the benefits which will accrue to the nation by the development of the resources of the present waste of northeastern Siberia, the imperial family owns an immense extent of land which will be benefited. The national defense committee also considers the project as essential from a strategic point of view, and, more important still, there is in the highest government spheres a distinct disposition to cultivate the United States as Russia's natural ally in the far East. It is believed that by interesting Americans materially in Siberia the political ties between the two countries will be strengthened. A statement to this effect has been submitted by Foreign Minister Lamsdorff to the commission under the presidency of Zeigler Von Shaffhauser, minister of ways and communications, which has considered the subject, which statement really amounts to an important declaration of foreign policy, as is evident from the following extract: "From the standpoint of good policy the project is considered more than desirable. The investment of foreign capital, and especially American, in an enterprise so important to Russia, will certainly tend to an economic, financial and political Russo-American rapprochement. It will also contribute to the creation of greater confidence in our foreign policy, which has sensibly suffered by recent events. By interesting Americans we may be the better able to combat the injurious agitation against us which produced so much harm before the Russo-Japanese war. "I believe the projected railroad would serve to paralyze any aggressive movement against us in the far East. Everything which can help place Russia in a more independent position with regard to Japan and China can not fail to strengthen Russia both in the far East and in Europe." Six of the twelve representatives of the various ministries on the Schaff hauer commission already have pronounced in favor of the project. General Boldureff, representing the ministry of the imperial household, told the commission how much his majesty was interested, and personally challenged the arguments of M. Toulinski, who has combatted the project. M. Grebnetsky, on behalf of the ministry of the interior, went to the extent of declaring that if the railroad were not constructed Russia's position on the Pacific would be lost. He expressed the opinion that the railroad was feasible and that Americans were capable of carrying out the project. Baron De Lobel is making the changes in the proposed line of, the rail road which were suggested by the committee of national defense on strategic conditions. DENVER TRAMWAY. Offers Large Pay for New City Franchises. Denver.—Two measures were introduced at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen Thursday night, to be submitted to a vote of the taxpaying electors at the forthcoming May election, which are of vital interest to Denver, one granting a franchise for twenty years to the Denver City Tramway Company to use the principal streets in the city, in return for which the company will pay into the city treasury $1,200,000, payment to be made at the rate of $5,000 per month, the money to be used on the streets, boulevards and parks; the other granting a franchise to the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railroad Company (the Moffat short line) to enter the city through its own lines and terminals. On receipt of the franchise from the taxpayers the Denver City Tramway Company will undertake a series of improvements and additions to cost $3,000,000, guaranteeing to spend a large percentage every year on extension of lines to every part of the city and in improving the tracks in the central district, adding to the rolling stock and motive power and building new shops. A permit was granted to the Moffat road some months back for the entering line and terminals, revokable at the pleasure of the Council. The franchise sought for embraces the same grounds and thoroughfares with the addition of a connecting point between the Moffat road and the Denver & Northwestern railroad on Fortysixth avenue, north of Argo. Victim of Snowslide. Denver.—A Republican special from Buena Vista Thursday night says: Harry Weisenborn of Vicksburg, a little mining town between Granite and Winfield in the Clear Creek district, twenty-eight miles from this place, was killed some time yesterday by the largest snowslide within the history of Chaffee county. A rescue party, headed by James Bull, left Granite at daylight this morning and returned tonight, but was unable to find the body. The search will be continued for a day or two, or until the searchers are assured the remains are not near the surface. STONE COMPETITION. Samples Submitted for Denver Public Library. Denver.—Seven samples of Colorado building stone and two from outside the state were submitted by contractors to the members of the Library Commission at a meeting held at the Public Library Wednesday. All the members of the commission were present and displayed great interest in the claims put forth for the various specimens. Upon a table lay the samples. There was pink granite from Platte canon, light sandstone from Turkey creek, light sandstone from the Almont quarries in Gunnison county, lava stone from the Gunnison country, sandstone from near Gunnison, lava from Del Norte, a very light granite from near Platte canon, sandstone from Amargo, New Mexico, sandstone from Rawlins, Wyoming, and dark granite from Arkins, Colorado. Dr. John Chase and John McLaughlin told of the merits of the Almont stone, John Erickson spoke for the Turkey creek product, Frank Damascio for the Platte canon granite, S. F. Hathaway for the Del Norte lava, C. E. Treadwell for the Gunnison sandstone and John G. Kerr for the Rawlins sandstone. The owners of the quarries are to be requested to have chemical analysis made of the stone which they hope to have used in the construction of the new public library. Strength tests also will be required. THOUSANDS KILLED Awful Earthquake Devastates Island of Formosa. London.—According to the Telegraph's correspondent at Tokio, it is now estimated that several thousand persons were killed by the recent earthquake in Formosa. The whole island was shaken from early morning Saturday until late at night, the shocks being continuous. The same day slight shocks were felt in Japan, and from Saturday night, until the following morning five distinct shocks occurred at Kumamoto. Telegrams from Formosa state that the prosperous towns of Datiyo, Raishiko and Shinko were completely destroyed. At Kagi alone 2,000 natives and seven Japanese were killed. At Datiyo 600 bodies have already been recovered from the open fields, to which the people had fled only to succumb to their injuries. At a rough estimate the damage amounts to $45,000,000. ONE COMPANY WITHDRAWS. Holly People Will Control Holbrook Valley. Denver.—A La Junta special to the Republican says: A lively contest has been on for the last two months between the Holly Construction Company and the American Beet Sugar Company. In addition to the large sugar refinery which is being built at the new town of Swink by the former company, it is also engaged in building a railroad into the Holbrook valley to tap that rich agricultural district and to provide transportation for the large amount of sugar beets to be raised by the farmers of that section. The American Beet Sugar Company of Rocky Ford has also had contractors, men and teams at work constructing another railroad line into the Holbrook valley paralleling the road being built by the Holly company. The majority of the farmers signed their beet sugar contracts with the Holly Construction Company, which will give the road being built by that company the larger share of the traffic. Within the last few days the American Beet Sugar Company has called off the contractors, men and teams engaged in building its roadbed and all work on the railroad to be built by this company has been stopped. This will leave the Holly company in possession of the field. Coming Scarcity of Iron The current topic of discussion in iron mining and smelting circles is the exhaustion of the world's known supplies of that metal. Numerous writers have been giving statistical articles to the technical press showing the probable extent and certain exhaustion in a comparatively short time of the present known deposits, and among the foreign governments commissions of inquiry are taking official cognizance of the threatened shortage. In the United States there is the keenest competition for first-class deposits. One of the latest reported transfers of iron properties is the securing of the Hill interests on the Mesaba range by the United States Steel Corporation. These deposits are said to show an available tonnage of 300,000,000 tons, valued at $1,125,000,000.—Mining Reporter. Champion Typewriter. Chicago.—In the second contests on typewriters at the National Business Show, a woman made the record for the smallest number of mistakes in her copy. She was Miss Elizabeth Baker, and in half an hour she wrote 4,085 words, making mistakes in only fifty-two of them. This gave her fourth place, the first being won by Charles H. McCurrin of Kalamazoo, Michigan, who held the title of champion of America by writing 4,627 words in thirty minutes, an average of 154 words a minute. H. Otis Blaisdell of Chicago won second place with a record of 4,238 words. Third place went to Emil A. Trefzger of Peoria, the champion of Illinois. Bank to Be Abolished. Washington.—The House has reached a compromise on the question of abolishing the grade of lieutenant general in the army, but providing that it shall not become effective until October 12th next, in order that Generals Corbin and MacArthur may be promoted before their retirement.

A short time ago Kansas was honored by the appointment of Dr. Vernon to be Register of the Treasury and whether confirmed or not the President showed his faith in a Western representative of the race, now comes the first national appointment of the race from Colorado. The honors fall upon the honored shoulders of Rev. W. E. Gladden of Colorado Springs who was appointed Wednesday Chapplain of the 25th Infantry to succeed Chaplain Allen Allensworth retired. Rev. Gladden was indorsed by every white and colored Baptist organization in the country and by all classes and kinds of men. Congressman Brooks has stood behind Rev. Gladden and left no stone unturned to see that his appointment was assured. PATRIOTISM IN THE PHILIPPINES. The United States Government is not above criticism in its last attack upon the Moros in the Philippines where over 600 men, women and children were mercilessly slaughtered by United States soldiers. It partakes too much of the mob spirit of the South. It is evident that the educated and thinking Filipinos are not satisfied with our usurpation of their sacred custom and paternal usages, our defiance of their personal rights and sacred institutions and for them to resist and drive the intruders out is only human. It is what the Crispus Attucks and the Revolutionary fathers did in Boston and we have erected statues and Bunker Hill monument to their memory but what about the Moros in the Philippines? Who can say but their action was not as patriotic as ours and yet they are mowed down by shot and shell and defenseless women and children slain and the heartless soldiers doing the bloody work are congratulated by telegrams from the State department for their military victory? It sounds like cheap thunder. It breathes the spirit of the "Clansman." It is nausiating. The United States is too large and powerful a nation to get military notoriety by slaying women and children but since this government suffers the self same thing to be done in the South every day and raises no protest, it is not to be wondered that the gaudy gold braid contingents of the military department should seek honor or credit to themselves by such small achievements and that the press and Federal dep'tm't should proceed to do them military honor. We do not want to criticise our nation but when their glory depends upon the slaughter of innocent ones we think it is a matter to lay before the Hague Peace Congress, which by the way seems to be out of business just now. SIGNS OF INDUSTRIALISM. Last week we called attention in this column to the interest being taken in the young people of our race by the Christian and Educational congresses to be held this years in Washington, D.C. and Nashville, Tenn. We wish at this time to direct thought to three great Industrial expositions to be held by our people. These exhibitions are intended to stimulate pride and commercialism in the race and afford an object lesson to the whites of the progress being made along practical lines by our people. The first is the 25th anniversary of Tuskegee The mechanical display to be made at this time will far surpass anything ever attempted at the Industrial plant fostered by the great Booker T. Washington. This exhibition will take place on the school grounds at Tuskegee about the middle of April. The second Industrial display is planned to come off at Atlanta, Ga. during the session of the National Negro Business League in that city. The Trade schools of the South will represent their products at this meeting in order that the convention may not have the appearance of talk but practical results. The third will be the combination of the Frederick Douglass Memorial exposition of Chicago with the negro Development and Exposition company of America. These consolidated interests will exhibit the work and progress of the Race at Jamestown, Va. where three hundred years ago (1607) nineteen blacks from an African slave ship first landed to take up the weary pilgrimage on these shores. The Jamestown exhibition will be held in the summer 1907 beginning in the month of June. J. J. Manual of this city has been appointed by Gov. McDonald as commissioner from Colorado with full power to act and Colorado ought to join in making the exposition a success. PRACTICAL POLITICS. On every hand we hear the Negro complaining of lack of recognition at the hands of the great political parties or apologizing for the short comings of those to whom he looks for support. Stop and reason a moment. In politics as in business, as an individual, or as a race, need expect no more favors than his ability and industry demands. If the Negro wants business he must go after it strenuously and wisely and stay with it until he gets it and like other men he will get just as much business as his merit, ability and capital calls for and no more. The same is true in politics. The Negro must begin at the foundation of politics the primaries and the caucas and go up there as in business he will get just what his ability, interest, knowledge and power calls for and no more. The time has now come for the Negro to stop whining about jobs and appointments but go to the bottom and earn the right to be respected and hold office. Here in Denver where a voice and vote and representation is denied no one (the Negro included) why should he complain or excuse, villify or praise. When the Negro himself is a part and a voice in the matter. The COLORADO STATESMAN is neither throwing stones or bouquets at any one. As a newspaper it stands as an unbiased teacher to point the way to the light. As long as the Negro citizens are content to be an echo and not a voice; as long as he is satisfied to be tool and not a vital factor in a free government, as long as he sits idly by while others go to caucases and primaries, arrange the delegate lists and make the slate and name the candidates. Why should he complain at their action. The thing for the Negro to do is to be one on the precinct committee, to be in the ward council and see to it that he is not absent at any of the primary conferences and that he is not overlooked as a delegate. If our leaders were wise and judicial in instructing our people at this point there would be no need of complaint. The Negro should not copy the caucasions vice but study his virtues and place ourselves in a position where not only our presence but our usefulness and service may be discovered and the results will be satisfactory to all concerned. RACE NEWS. (Continued from' first page.) San Juan hill? Has Field Marshal Sutherland ever heard old Indian fighters say red men showed cowardice in action? Did he ever read British accounts of the way the blacks tore to fragments the vaunted hollow squares at Isandula? Has he read any traveler's description of the placid indifference with which the Chinese meet death? They may not know how to live, but they know better than we do how to die." But in the arts, in literature, what can he do there? There have been white men in the South who have not scrupled to affirm that the Negro was only an animal soulless and incapable of real progress. Perhaps they regard industrial achievement as mere "training of animals." Perhaps they look upon his religious enthusiasm as of animal emotion. Perhaps they would bring the same accusation against Negro music—the only really American music we have produced. But they can hardly pretend that brutes can bring forth such work in literary lines as the Negro is showing himself capable of. We refer to the writings of Professor DuBois and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar's latest book of poems, illustrated by Negro artists, is a gem which the writer has not seen surpassed by the work of any white poets this year. It is time for us to wake up to the fact that in the field of literature, even as in other fields, the Negro is working side by side with his white brother. There is no use in talking about the inferior races any more than is in talking about the inferiority of women. Difference is not inferiority. And even the difference has been greatly exaggerated. By the sign of the book the Negro is showing mental capacity which places him on a level—Chicago Advance. Federal Court to Punish Lynchers. Washington, March 22.—Utilizing every instrumentality at the command of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Moody will push with all possible vigor and dispatch investigation into the Chattanooga lynching and punishment of the lynchers. "For the first time we now have a national lynching, one which the federal government must and will punish," said a high official of the Department of Justice, to-day. The department holds that Ed Johnson, the Negro lynched, was in charge of the federal government, being under the protection of an order of the Supreme Court of the United States. Orders have been sent to the marshal and district attorney of the eastern district of Tennessee to make a full investigation and to arerst every person implicated in the crime. Attorney General Moody learned of the lynching while on his way to Washington from Chicago. Without waiting to communicate with the department here he wired federal officials in Knoxville to take all necessary steps to run down and apprehend all persons suspected of having a hand in the lynching. When Mr. Moody reached Washington he found similar steps had been taken by Assistant Attorney General Purdy. In the opinion of officials here this movement by the Department of Justice is of great import. All previous efforts to have the federal authorities intervene in lynching eases have proved futile, because the punishment of lynchers has been in the hands of state courts and state authorities. The Johnson case is regarded as opening the way for the federal government to take a hand. The Montgomery Advertiser, in its issue of Wednesday, March 14th, this week, has the following special dispatch from Tuskegee regarding the coming anniversary celebration of the school: The Tuskegee Institute for Negroes, located at this point, is making extensive preparations for the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the school April 4th, 5th and 6th.

SHOT AMONG THE MINISTERS CHOATE IN CHILDHOOD DAYS DACHSHUND A GOOD FIGHTER SUNLIGHT AND THE HOUSE BOOKS HAD DOVBLE V.SE There was a church trial in this burg not many days ago, a case where the scandal and its history were kept beautifully smothered, and where the "vultures of the press," as one aged minister called them, were buffled from Alpha to Omega, and from A to Izzard. The trial came off, and the verdict was deferred for a month or two. So much for the trial. What happened during the first session thereof is what concerns this story. Numerous reporters came to the trial—and got nothing, which is the reason no newspaper printed more than a casual mention of the case. When the eager scribes gathered at the church they were received with great courtesy, and also with the information that the proceedings were strictly secret. They were then herded into an anteroom and told that they would be given a little information later. Gathered in this anteroom, the boys chatted, laughed and formulated imaginary narratives. This soon palled upon them, and they began to figure out some method of getting at least an inkling of the doings. Their anteroom was behind another anteroom, and this room, in turn, was separated from the auditorium of the church by a big double door, the kind of door where you push both halves and emerge in the middle. The boys It is stated of our late coruscating ambassador at the court of St. James, the Hon. Joseph H. Choate, that when he was a little chap he and his sister had been forbidden by parental authority to go in swimming, or even to wade on the shore. Nevertheless, the pair soon made their way to the beach, and naturally were exposed to the devices of Satan. "You might at least take off your shoes and stockings," suggested the tempter, well aware to what this would lead. "Nobody will see us," said the acquiescent "Joe" to his sister. "God will see us," was the r-plly. "But he won't tell," returned the sharp and precocious infant, who was already tasting the sweets of forensic victory. As no effective response served to suggest itself, transgression soon followed, and its results were finally emphasized by the plastic hand of their mother. In one of his rambles the impending ambassador fell in with a little girl who was weeping bitterly. "What The good-natured, philosophic German dachshund has always been regarded as more or less of a joke in this country. Even in the Fatherland he is a staple for jesting. His elongated body, his crooked legs, his animated tail, his resemblance to a sausage—who could fail to make some sort of joke about a dachshund? But the dachshund has a very serious side, and a work in life. "Dachshund" means "badger-dog." Now, the badger is an animal that, generally speaking, needs neither game laws nor sympathy, because he is able to take care of himself and fight his own battles. Naturalists place him as a link between the bear family and the weasels. He has about all the strenuous characteristics of both, with some of his own in addition. Badger-baiting was formerly a barbarous rustic sport that drew trade to country inns and taverns. A badger was placed in a barrel and the man whose dog could bring him out got a prize. A single dog seldom did it. A full pack might—sometimes. The Sunlight is nature's most health-giving scavenger. A house without sunlight is unhealthy and unsafe for human occupancy and it is necessary not only to have some sunlight, but to have as much of it as possible. It is, of course, not feasible to admit the direct rays of the sun to every room of a house; the typical plan of all houses is square or rectangular, and at least one side of the house is entirely beyond the reach of the sun. The other three sides, however, can receive more or less direct sunlight and the problem of the plan is thus reduced to arranging the various rooms so that the amount of sunlight is adjusted to their uses, and it must be sunlight, for mere light itself is not sufficient; the rays of the sun have curative and cleansing properties that nothing else has. The following incident, illustrating the rough humor of the late "Luke" Poland, then a congressman from Vermont, was related to me a number of years ago by our family physician, says a writer in an eastern publication. I had been ill a number of days with tonsilitis, and had reached the restless stage of convalescence, when the doctor called one morning and found me propped against the pillows and deeply interested in a paper-covered volume of the yellow variety. My mother attempted to apologize for the cheap character of my literature, but was interrupted by the doctor, who laughingly exclaimed: "Oh, let him read anything he wants to, if it will only keep him quiet." "And, do you know," he continued, "I read some pretty cheap looking silently sneaked forward into this room, and one of the most daring knelt by the door, his eyes glued to the crack, his ears extended to their greatest length. The others grouped beside and behind him, and waited for him to give out such information as his coign of vantage might secure. Among the crowd was one young man who didn't particularly care whether any paper got anything or not. In fact, he would far rather have scored a blank for this particular case, and thus have gained some other and more pleasing assignment from his city editor. This young man cogitated for one moment, and then, quick as some huge cat, gave the kneeling spy at the door a tremendous shove. The kneeling victim shot straight through the suddenly opening doors, landing on hands and knees far out in the auditorium. Another reporter, who had been leaning against the doors, fell headlong against him, bringing up squarely upon his stomach. Two others, unable to regain their balance, sat down heavily in the doorway. The remainder of the tribe, scrambling madly, fled out into the street, leaving the fallen ones to receive the wrath of the assembled ministers. It might be just as well to draw the veil of silence and of charity over the subsequent proceedings. — Chicago Journal. is the matter, Molly? Can I do anything for you?" was the sympathetic query. With many sobs came the reply: "My mamma has gone to heaven." "Perhapg she hasn't." was the comforting comment, which abruptly stopped the sobs and left the victim in a maze of thought. Another experience revealed to our hero a cottage with a sunny garden all abloom and a piazza dominated by an elderly maiden of forbidding aspect. "May I have a few of those lovely flowers?" "No, no, little boy," came the churlish reply. "They are put there to look at, not to touch." "That's why you are put there, I suppose," said the quick and impenetrant youth, as he scampered down the street. "My child, my child, what dirty hands!" said the mother one day as he came in with hands that suggested a four paws' menagerie. "Go and wash them at once." "Why, ma," was the aggrieved response, "I have washed them already. You must be getting color blind." badger is a tremendous burrower, and the jolly dachshund of the jokes has been trained for centuries in Germany to go into his burrows like a ferret after rats and drive the badger out or fight him. In some German and Australian cities there were formerly badger-baiting tourneys in which crack dachshunds entered a pit with an able-bodied badger and fought for points. It is said that such contests are still held in Vienna. For spirit, endurance and agility the dachshund has no peer in this work, and a buildog pitted against a badger would probably find himself cutting a poor figure. So, to make the jokes about the dachshund if you will, but give him credit for his prowess, and for that gentleness, characteristic also of the best bulldogs, that makes either an affectionate companion to man and a loyal playmate to children. Give the dachshund credit, too, for intelligence. He has it in large degree. Few dogs are beater, and probably his acumen is such that he even sees a good many of the dachshund jokes. It is generally admitted that a southern exposure is the best for all houses and should be obtained whenever possible. It is immaterial whether the entrance is placed on this side or not, so long as the rooms most in use open onto the house. In dwellings of average size the entrance front will also be the front on which any important room opens, but in large country houses, the old distinction of a front and back to a house has disappeared and instead we have the entrance front and the garden front; the service and servants' quarters, so long regarded as characteristic of the "back" of a house, may be relegated to a side end or placed in a wing that abuts directly on the entrance front. In such cases it must be well screened, and its purpose thoroughly subordinated—American Homes and Gardens. stuff myself, especially on a train. I hardly ever come home from a trip that I don't bring a cheap novel with me, and sometimes I am so ashamed of the blood and thunder stories that I tear off the covers before taking the books into the house. "I remember once when going from Rutland to Burlington, Vt., I noticed Congressman Luke Poland sitting a few seats in front of me with a novel he had purchased of the train boy. At the next stop I left my seat, and, stopping beside him, said: "Good morning, Mr. Poland. I see you have my bad habit of reading cheap literature on the train." "Yes," he replied, "I confess I do read some worthless trash on the train, but it passes the time, you know, and, besides, some d—— fool doesn't come and talk to you." CITY NEWS. J. J.

Robert Love, who has been in poor health for several months, became very weak while on the street about 2 o'clock last Tuesday morning and was carried to the New York rooming house 1854 Larimer street, where he was found dead by the landlord at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He was laying with his face buried in a pillow. The bloody bed clothing bore evidence that he died with a hemorrhage. Deceased had been a resident of Denver for about 16 years and was well and favorably known. Besides a mother he leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. Church of the Redeemer.

The Deaconess has lived in Japan and is most happy to undertake this missionary work for which she has been thoroughly trained and prepared. Disasterous Wreck. What proved to be one of the most disasterous and heart-sickening railroad wrecks recorded in history was that of two Rio Grand paisenger trains which collided at an early hour Friday morning, March 16th, near Adobe, Colo., when more than two score of people lost their lives and as many more injured. Those who were not killed outright were wedged in the wrecked cars and were burned to death in their helpless condition. Among those who escaped by a miracle was Wm. A. Watkins, the efficient train porter of the D. & R. G. Ry. Mr. Watkins was just getting ready to put off some passengers when the crash came. It was all over in a second and Mr. Watkins found himself wedged in the wreckage and unable to move. His alarm however brought several men to his rescue and although it looked impassible to remore the heavy debris that held him, by some means which cannot be explained he was released just in time to be saved from the flames of a death-eating fire which was near him. Notwithstanding that Mr. Watkins was badly injured he was cool headed and at once crushed in a car window and secured an ax with which he chopped away the wreckage and saved the lives of many who would have perished in the flames had not his heroism been displayed. This is wreck No. 13 for Mr. Watkins and it was the closest call that he has yet had. Local Notices.

The most costly miter in the United States—a miter which represents $10,000 worth of jewels and precious stones—is worn by Bishop Horstmann of the Cleveland diocese of the Roman Catholic church. The bishop by virtue of his office is custodian of the miter, which is the property of the church. The extreme costliness of the jewelled headdress is equaled by its artistic excellence and interesting history. The gems which adorn the crown were the gift of Mrs. W. J. Gordon, wife of the late multimillionaire. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were close personal friends of the late Bishop Gillmour, Bishop Horstmann's predecessor, and during Mrs. Gordon's last illness she directed that her jewel box be given to the bishop and that its contents be used for a miter. Later, Mr. Gordon added the jewels of his dead daughter to the collection, and when he was shown a water color of the miter as it would appear when finished he was so delighted that he agreed to bear the expense of making The emblem is so thickly incrusted with the gems that its fabric, white moire antique, is barely visible. The jewels are diamonds and seed pearls, amethysts, turquoises, topazes and garnets. The cruciform design is outlined with a pearl necklace and a large diamond cross is placed in the center. LONG SIEGES IN HISTORY. Some Gallant Defenses Made by Beleaquered Garrisons. The longest siege of antiquity was that of Ashdod by the Egyptians. According to one authority it lasted nineteen years. Another fixes it at twenty-nine years. Fabled Troy was be sieged for ten years. The siege of Jerusalem by Titus, A. D. 70, though not the longest, was the most sanguinary on record. Syracuse, 214 B. C., held out against the Romans for three years, and Carthage resisted them, 147 B. C., for two years. Famous among sieges was that of Parma, which capitulated in 1585 after a year's investment. Candia, in Crete, surrendered to the Turks in 1669 after a siege of twenty-four years, during which, it is said, 200,000 were slain. Gibraltar successfully resisted the Spaniards and French from July 16, 1779, to Feb. 5, 1783. Among modern sieges that of Sevastopol, 1854-55, is interesting, inasmuch as the besieged were Russians. Sevastopol and Port Arthur are seaports. When the former was invested the Russians blockaded the harbor with sunken battleships. When the evacuation took place they sank all of their remaining ships. The siege of Sevastopol lasted 349 days, during which the besieged were heavily reinforced. Rivers in Manchuria. In Manchuria the rivers have long been the great highways in summer and their icy surface is much used for carting merchandise in the winter. When the ground is frozen hard there are other roads which serve tolerably well that are of little use in spring and fall. Newchwang is the principal port of Manchuria, and this winter it is said that from 1,500 to 2,000 loaded carts have left that city every day on the average. An Elusive Dinner At a country boarding house, where a "green" waitress was taking the dinner orders, she had asked four other boarders whether they would have roast beef or chicken, and they all said the latter. When she asked me, I replied, "Chicken, please." Imagine my surprise when she answered, "I'm sorry, sir, but the chicken has just run out."—Lippincott's Magazine. Cocaine Too Easily Procured. Thirty or more years ago drug habits were relatively unknown, says a report to the house of representatives. Cocaine was then not yet discovered. To-day it has been shown that it is possible in the city of Washington to telephone to a certain drug store for a "headache powder" and receive by special messenger a package of cocaine. Heavy Bells in English Churches. Exeter, England, has long possessed the heaviest ringing peal of bells in the world. The tenor "Grandison," so named after a former bishop of the diocese, has been recast and its weight increased, so that it is now about three tons' thirteen hundred-weight, or roughly, half a ton heavier than the tenor of St. Paul's. A "Gold Brick" of Old Time. In one of the Tell-el-Amarna letters, written during the eighteenth dynasty, the King of Babylon accuses Amenophis III of Egypt of sending him a mass of base metal for gold. He says: "The twenty minas of gold you sent me contained, when melted down, only five minas of pure gold."—London Post. Real Prize Beef A steer that produces the choicest beef is the one that is not only fat, but also well supplied with lean.

Too Much of a Good Thing The following truthful remark is from a book by Dr. A. Rabagliati, of England, reviewed last year: "Disease is far offender due to mal-assimilation of food than to any other cause. And too much good food is a far commoner cause of disease than either deficiency or badness of food." 15.000.000 Umbrellas a Year Up to a few years ago, it is said, only seven patents on umbrellas had been issued in the United States in one hundred years, this despite the fact, says the American Inventor, that the annual production of umbrellas in the United States is close to 25,000,000. British Parliament Supreme The powers of the British parliament are absolute, and cannot be confined. It can regulate the succession to the crown, and alter and establish the religion of the country, and, in fact, carry out the will of the people, whatever it may be. For Bright Eyes. Bathing the eyes several times a day in cold water makes them bright, and greatly helps to preserve the sight to extreme old age. When any substances get into the eye, syringe gently with lukewarm water till free of them. After all, it is a very short life, and certainly much too short for rudeness and coldness and cruelty. If you have the gentle heart, do not let it be smothered in worldliness. If you have not got it, try to acquire it.

Such a dam would be of great benefit to the electric power plants about the falls and an important aid to commerce moving between the four upper lakes and the St. Lawrence river. --- "You are a cheap scoundrel," yelled the excitable fire-eater.

The biggest book in the world has just been found in the British museum, where, like Turner's pictures in the National gallery, it lay unnoticed many years. The huge volume is a Dutch tome containing maps and descriptions of the world as it was known to the Dutch geographers of 1650. It is as tall as the average man, being five feet ten inches high and four feet eight inches wide. It is superbly bound and decorated with gilt tooling and gold clasps. The gigantic title page is hand-illuminated, the initial letter being gold. The great volume was presented to King Charles II, before his departure from Holland to come to England to claim the throne in 1660. The book came into the possession of George III., who presented it with his library to the British museum. It is now one of the chief treasures of the museum, almost rivaling in value the Rossetti stone. To Feed School Children The ministry of Campbell-Bannerman has already commenced the redemption of its debt to the British working classes, whose votes gave the Liberals their signal triumph in the recent elections. One of the earliest bills introduced in the House of Commons, at the instance of the labor group, proposes to empower the local authorities, which have now full control of elementary education, to provide meals for the underfed school children of indigent parents. The minister of education at once announced that he would, with the concurrence of his colleagues, endeavor to secure its passage into law during the current season. Even sensible men like to nibble at tatterly once in a while. GRAND TO LIVE. And the Last Laugh Is Always the Best. "Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better for a table beverage than coffee," writes an Ohio woman—"now I laugh to know there is." "Since childhood I drank coffee as freely as any other member of the family. The result was a puny, slickly girl, and as I grew into womanhood I did not gain in health, but was afflicted with heart trouble, a weak and disordered stomach, wrecked nerves and a general breaking down, till last winter, at the age of 38 I seemed to be on the verge of consumption. My friends greeted me with 'How bad you look! What a terrible color!' and this was not very comforting. "The doctors and patent medicines did me absolutely no good. I was thoroughly discouraged. "Then I gave up coffee and commenced Postum Food Coffee. At first I didn't like it, but after a few trials and following the directions exactly, it was grand. It was refreshing and satisfying. In a couple of weeks I noticed a great change. I became stronger, my brain grew clearer, I was not troubled with forgetfulness as in coffee times, my power of endurance was more than doubled. The heart trouble and indigestion disappeared and my nerves became steady and strong. "I began to take an interest in things about me. Housework and home-making became a pleasure. My friends have marveled at the change and when they inquire what brought it about, I answer 'Postum Food Coffee, and nothing else in the world.'" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

THEY ARE REFUSED BAIL Arraigned at Caldwell and Plead "Not Guilty"—Trial Cannot Begin Before the Midsummer fore the Middle of May. Boise, Idaho.—In the Idaho District Court at Caldwell yesterday it was ordered that President Moyer, Secretary Haywood and G. A. Pettibone, of the Western Federation of Miners, be separated, after they had been refused freedom on bail. Moyer goes to the county jail at Ada, one will go to Weiser and the third will go elsewhere. Judge Beatty of the United States District Court refused to interfere with the state courts and the defendants will now appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The man arrested for Simpkins in Arizona is not believed to be Simpkins. He says his name is Thomas Monwer. Immediately after the opening of court, Judge Smith overruled the demurra to the injunction. He then said: "In regard to the petition for bail, I find that the Supreme Court of Idaho has never been presented with the question, but I also find that our statute concerning this matter is copied word for word from the statute of the state of California. "I therefore am guided in this ruling by the opinion of the Supreme Court of that state of the question." The motion was overruled. The three prisoners were then requested to stand before the bar of justice and enter their pleas. Each pleaded not guilty in the order in which their names appeared on the indictment—Haywood, Pettibone, Moyer. It was then that Judge Smith sprung a surprise upon the defendants and their attorney. "Mr. Richardson," announced the court, "I have been to considerable personal trouble and pains to make examinations of the different jails in the counties bordering Canyon county. The jail here now has within its walls twelve prisoners. It is crowded. It is entirely inadequate for the demands now being made upon it. Within a short time the county will commence making important improvements upon the Canyon county jail. It is to be enlarged and strengthened. At present I deem it unsafe, unsanitary and inexpedient to allow your clients to remain here. For the present, at least, they must be moved to another place of detention. "I want to ask you if you and your clients are willing that they should be taken to the penitentiary at Boise to be held until the jail shall have been enlarged, improved and made safe and comfortable for their occupation." "If your honor please," replied Mr. Richardson, "I wish to state that the prisoners are very much pleased with the manner in which they have been treated since coming here and would certainly object to a change from here to any jail or prison. I am certain they do not wish to go back to the penitentiary, but I would not wish to answer that question until I have consulted with them. I think they are perfectly satisfied to remain where they are." "It is not a question, Mr. Richardson, as to whether the men are satisfied here are not. In my judgment they must be moved. I have taken pains to ascertain that they will be treated right if taken to the penitentiary," replied the judge. "I can not help but remark, your honor," said Mr. Richardson, "that notwithstanding your intercessions and rulings while they were in that institution, little benefit to the prisoners resulted. In view of the fact that Warden Whitney has been quoted as making threats as to what he would do to my clients if they ever again came under his control, I do not think my clients would ever consent to be taken to that prison again as long as the present warden is in charge." Judge Smith replied: "In my honest opinion, Mr. Richardson, I believe the penitentiary would be the most pleasant and comfortable place for your clients to go. However, I am not quite certain that I have the right to order them there." "I think I have, but I have not had the time to thoroughly look into the matter and an order will be made today to remove two to other places of detention. Two of them are to be removed at once. I will give you time to consult your clients. If they will not consent to go to the state penitentiary, one of them will be transferred to the Washington county jail and another to the Ada county jail. Court will now take a recess to give you a chance to talk the matter over with the prisoners." After the consultation Mr. Richardson said: "They are satisfied with the jail here and object to being taken anywhere. But as your honor has announced that they will not consent to be taken to the penitentiary, you will see that they are separated and that only one of them shall be allowed to remain here. I wish to petition that the man who is to remain be Mr. Moyer. Mr. Moyer has for years been subject to asthma. Since his exchange to the jail here he has much improved. He is getting better. He wants to stay here." "Mr. Richardson," replied the court, "the jail of Ada county is just as sanitary as the jail here," then, turning to the sheriff, Judge Smith continued: "Mr. Sheriff, notify Mr. Moyer to be ready to depart on the noon train for Boise. He is to be taken to the county jail at Ada for safe keeping. Which one of the prisoners of the two remaining are to be taken to Weiser, I will decide to-morrow morning." Mr. Richardson again asked that the men be admitted to bail and was overruled. Judge Smith indicated the trial could not begin before the middle of May. LABOR MEMORIAL Presented to President, Senate and House. Washington. — President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and the executive council of that organization, with about 100 representatives of trades unions, were received by Speaker Cannon in the House Joby Wednesday. They presented a document concerning pending labor legislation, which later was presented to Senator Frye and President Roosevelt. The document expresses the opinion that the eight-hour law is ineffective and insufficient, and deplores the government's attitude towards the law as affecting work on the Panama canal. It complains that the workingmen have not been protected against convict labor, and that appeals for relief from undesirable immigration have been without result. "Recognizing the danger of Chinese immigration," says the letter, "and responsive to the demands of the people, Congress years ago enacted an effective Chinese exclusion law; yet, despite the experience of the people of our own country, as well as those of other countries, the present law is flagrantly violated, and now, by act of Congress, it is seriously proposed to invalidate that law and reverse the policy." The document concludes: "The beneficent writ of injunction intended to protect property rights, has, as used in labor disputes, been perverted so as to attack and destroy personal freedom and in a manner to hold that the employer has some property rights in the labor of the workingmen. "Instead of obtaining the relief which labor has sought, it is seriously threatened with statutory authority for existing judicial usurpation. The committee on labor in the House of Representatives in the past Congresses has been so organized as to make ineffectual any attempt labor has made for redress. This being the fact in the last Congress, labor requested the speaker to appoint on the committee of labor members who from their experience, knowledge and sympathy would render in this Congress such service as the committee was originally designed to perform. Not only was labor's request ignored, but the hostile makeup of the committee was accentuated. "Recently the President issued an order forbidding any and all government employees, upon the pain of instant dismissal from the government service, to petition Congress for any redress of grievance for any improvement of their condition. Thus the constitutional right of citizens to petition must be surrendered to the government employee in order that he may obtain or retain his employment. "We present these grievances to your attention because we have long, patiently and in vain waited for redress. There is not any matter of which we have complained but for which we have in an honorable and lawful manner submitted remedies. The remedies for these grievances proposed by labor are in line with fundamental law and with the progress and development made necessary, by changed industrial conditions. "Labor now appeals to you, and we trust that it may not be in vain. But if, perchance, you may not heed us, we shall appeal to the conscience and the support of our fellow citizens." The memorial is signed by President Gompers and the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor. PACKERS GO FREE. But Corporations Will Have to Stand Trial. Chicago.—All of the packers who were indicted by the federal grand jury last summer upon charges of being in conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce were to-day granted immunity from criminal prosecution under the indictment. While the individuals are to go free the indictments found against the corporations of which some of the indicted individuals are members and others are employees, are to stand. The decision to the above effect was handed down by Judge Otis Humphrey in the United States District Court. He decided in favor of the packers in their contention that they were compelled by the government to furnish information, saying that under no circumstances could it be contemplated that the defendants in the case had volunteered evidence. He declared that it was evident all of the information had been compelled. The court held that the crucial fact in the case was the interview at the Chicago Club between Commissioner Garfield and representatives of the packers, in the course of which the commissioner outlined his powers and indicated to the packers that he was able to force them to surrender information to his department, if they declined to surnish it. He reviewed the case at length in all its bearings, cited all the essential facts which had been brought out and concluded as follows: "Under the law in this case the im- munity pleas filed by the defendants will be sustained as to the individuals and denied as to the corporations, the artificial persons, and the jury will find in favor of the government as far as the corporations are concerned and against the government as far as the individuals are concerned." Lively Is in Kentucky. Louisville, Ky.—S. Frank Lively, the telegraph operator whose nap caused the disastrous collision between two passenger trains on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad near Adobe, Colorado, last Friday morning, arrived Wednesday at his old home at Munfordville, Kentucky. He said he had nothing further to say than what he had already stated—that he was working overtime and had asked for relief in vain several times, finally falling asleep at his post, and thus failing to deliver the train dispatcher's order which would have prevented the collision. He was met at the train by numerous relatives, who heartily sympathized with him in his predicament, and think he has done the manly thing in frankly shouldering all blame for the accident. ROUTED THE TIGER WITH MAP. Presence of Mind Saved Life of English Survever How an English surveyor routed a Malayan tiger, with no other weapon than a rolled-up map, is told by the Straits Times of Singapore: "While a well-known local surveyor, who had been kept out late at work on Saturday night, was driving in a rikisha along Tampenis road, about 7:20 o'clock, his rikisha coolie suddenly dropped the shafts and ran for his life into the edge of the jungle. On peering into the darkness—the vehicle was not carrying a light—the gentleman saw a large creature standing in the middle of the road. He got out of the rikisha and went towards the beast, thinking it some large dog that had frightened the coolie. When within six or seven yards he perceived that the brute was a large tiger. "He had no weapon except a large district survey map rolled up. He saw the futility of attempting to disable the tiger with the rolled-up map, but the thought struck him that he might manage to frighten it my mean of his roll. Suddenly he unrolled it with a quick flip, spreading it to its full area of four or five feet square. With a single bound the tiger cleared off into the jungle. "The next thing was to find the coolie, who eventually was discovered in a state of collapse in the ditch. He was unable to pull his fare back and it was not until three or four miles had been traversed with both men on foot that he recovered sufficiently to pull the European home." Lesson in Architecture. One of the young architects who delivers a lecture on modern architecture in the series of free public school lectures had just shown his audience the beauties of the Cologne cathedral the other night, when he thought of an experience he once had on a similar occasion. "It was at the conclusion of my lecture," he told his audience, "that a woman came to me, explained that she too was a student of architecture and thanked me for enlightening her on one point that she had never been able to understand before. 'I've always wondered,' she said to me, 'where the Colonial style of architecture came from. Now, of course, I see that it comes from Cologne.' "What did you tell her?" asked some one in the audience. "I told her," replied the speaker "that if my lecture had made that clear to her I felt very much gratified."—New York Sun. His Labor Over. "The civil service," said Senator Knox, "is not what it used to be. Merit counts in it as in business now and industry and intelligence are the qualities that bring success. "It was not always so. I remember meeting a man on Pennsylvania avenue one morning many years ago. It was late. He was all dressed up. Plainly he was taking a day off. "Well," he said, as we conversed. "I worked mighty hard during the last three months trying to get a civil service appointment, but I'm going take it easy now." "Failed through lack of influence, I suppose?" said I. "No, no," said he, "I've got the appointment." "And he resumed his pleasant stroll." Expert Liars. Mune, Isabelle Massieu, an explorer, who has just returned to Europe from a journey in Anam, in Indo China, says she has met the most accomplished liers in the world. One chief told her that he had seen an English vessel so large that his father, who was a young man when he started to walk down the deck, had white hair before he reached the mainmast. Thereupon another chief remarked that there were trees in France so tall that a bird took ten years to reach the top. Dennis Gibbons Dennis Gibbons Coor's Celebrated Golden Beer On Draught . . 441 W.

The American line steamship Philadelphia, which arrived in New York March 11th, from Southampton, reported having been struck by a huge way on Friday evening previous. Up to that time the weather had been good and a concert was just being begun, when, without the slightest warning, a huge wave struck the boat. In an instant all was uproar. Those attending the concert rushed pell mell in all directions. Men and women dropped on their knees and prayed, while others ran on deck. The vessel reeled and quivered under the shock and for five minutes panic reigned on board. Part of the ship's bowsprit was carried away, the iron railing was twisted and many windows were broken, through which poured hundreds of gallons of water. Captain Mills said that in all his experience he never encountered a wave of such height.

"About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319 N. Del. St., Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 27, 1905." African Sleeping Sickness. Prof. Robert Koch lectured in Berlin recently on the "sleeping sickness," which he investigated for several months in equatorial Africa during the year 1905. Emperor William and a distinguished company were present. The malady, said the professor, had been known on the west coast of Africa since the beginning of the last century and it had spread to the north short of the Victoria Nyanza and then entered German Africa. Probably 200-000 persons had died from the disease. The infection was spread from human to human by the sting of a fly. The poison affected the usual health for several days and then the sufferer was attacked with fever, became incoherent, the glands were swollen and the patient became enfeebled and eventually was seized with the sleep mania. Professor Koch knew of no remedy for this disease. Sale of Luther's House It is reported from Dresden that Germany will witness a public auction that is probably unique.

The land in question is taken in exchange for that upon government reserves and the board received application for 400,000 acres. Adolph Berrich, an old German scout and trapper, who had been wandering about in the cold near Edgerton, north of Colorado Springs, was finally located by County Physician Richardson, Sheriff Grimes and Deputy Scofield in a cave at Edgerton. The aged man was unconscious, both feet and legs were frozen and death would have ensured had he lain exposed many hours. Nine pharmacists passed the examination given by the State Board of Pharmacists recently and are entitled to certificates. The successful candidates were Irwing L. Emerson, Grand Junction; F. I.

Marden, who twenty-five years ago came to Colorado College as professor of history, and is now treasurer of the institution, was presented a few days ago with a handsome silver loving cup and luxurious chair by the trustees, faculty and many of the older pupils of the college. The occasion was the seventieth birthday of the recipient, and the twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival at Colorado College. Superintendent Frank Putney of the railway mail service at Denver is being overflowed with inquiries in regard to the mail carried on the trains wrecked near Adobe March 16th. All the mail on train No. 16 was destroyed. As most of it included business letters, many containing drafts and checks from Leadville, Salida, Gunnison and other surrounding towns, much trouble will likely result from the less. Edward Kleckner, a ranchman, aged about twenty-five, froze to death on the night of March 18th, thirteen miles from Pagosa Springs. It was storming fearfully and he was trying to reach his home when his horse gave out. He turned the horse loose and attempted to reach home on foot. He succumbed within one mile of E. E. Chapson's ranch and four miles from home, where his young wife was awaiting him. He had been married only three months. The Colorado Manufacturers' Association is preparing cards to be mailed to teachers with a request that they be put up in their school rooms. The cards will contain data concerning the manufactured products of Colorado, giving the articles of popular use, statistics, about the number of factories, capital invested, which exceeds $36,000,000 by members of the association alone, the number of employees, the money spent annually for materials, and the wages paid.

MGNROE DRUG CO., Unionville, Missouri HAD HEART PAINS A Critical Case of Rheumatism Cured By Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. While Mr. W. S. Geisel, of No. 125 East Coutes street, Moberly, Mo., was steadily working at his trade in a foundry at that place, he became the victim of an attack of rheumatism, and his experience is that of thousands who are compelled to work in similar surroundings. He describes his situation as follows: "I had been at work for a long time in a foundry where I was exposed to dampness. First my feet began to hurt and to swell, then my knees and my shoulder joints began to be affected in the same way. Finally I could not walk without great difficulty and suffering and had to stop work altogether. My appetite was feeble and I grew very pale and weak. I began to have pains about my heart and it fluttered a great deal. I became greatly alarmed about my condition. My mother knew about the virtues of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as they had given her buck her health when she was nearly wasting to death, and when she found that they were good for rheniumsum too, she began to give them to me about a month after I was attacked. That was in the early part of March, 1903, and by June they had driven away the pains and swelling and had restored my appetite and color. Then I felt strong enough to take up a line of outdoor work and now, in October, I regard myself as entirely well and I am about to go into a foundry again at St. Louis." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills also cure other diseases springing from impure blood or disordered nerves, such as sciatica, locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis and all forms of weakness in male or female. They may be bad at all drugists or directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y. The Emperor's Physicians.

"Monkey talk" is to be added to the curriculum of the University of Chicago. Cages are now in readiness for about thirty simians being imported for a novel experiment which will be conducted until definite results are obtained. The plan is to go thoroughly into the question of whether or not monkeys have a distinct language—one that may be mastered by humans. It is said the monkeys will be subjected to a series of experiments, pain, joy, hunger. In each instance a record will be kept of their expressions. The experiments will be repeated often enough to determine if the same expressions are used to voice the same emotion, and if this proves the case, the sounds will be classified and an alphabet worked out.

Panama Is All Right Contrary to some reports which have been sent to the United States regarding the general condition prevailing in Panama, according to a letter from Preston King, Jr., formerly of Steamboat Springs, the Americans now in that country are in good health and there is little or no discontent among the people. Mr. King, who is now engaged as a civil engineer, writes from Bohea to a friend in Denver, concerning the white inhabitants on the isthmus, Mr. King states there are few. Of the small number, however, he says most of them are enjoying good health and are suffering no ill effects from the climate. This statement contradicts in some respects dispatches which have been sent from the Panama country, many reports having been heralded of deaths from disease and lack of substantial nourishment. Mr. King speaks encouragingly of the conditions, and for his own part makes no complaint of illness. "While a great many things could be well wished otherwise," continues the writer, "taken all in all, I believe matters are going along as well as any rational man might expect."

HOSPITALS CROWDED MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Saves Many From this Sad and Costly Experience. It is a sad but certain fact that every year brings an increase in the number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow- It is a sad but certain fact that every year brings an increase in the number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from operations made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvic catarrh, dizziness, flatulence, displacements or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the trouble may make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— "About two years ago I was a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumours. I did so and immediately cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation." Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from female troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous excitability or nervous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge.

CONCERNING FASHIONS Evening Wraps a La Kimono. Kimono styles have invaded the realm of evening wraps in the shape of an interesting coat made of satin, the fronts rolling back and the cuffs turned back in typical kimono fashion. Both fronts and cuffs are trimmed with embroidery of the Japanese type, done in the color of the wrap. Another wrap, cut in some way which makes it drape from the shoulders, has a pointed fold falling from the middle of the back down almost to the waist, like a mock hook. If a bordered material is used, the point is edged both sides with the border, which runs down both fronts as well. Or, sometimes, bands of Oriental embroidery make the trimming, the point further emphasized by a tassel of silk, which dangles from the very tip. A Smart Cloth Gown. The old-fashioned idea that the best gown was the silk gown has long since been for women, and now we see gowns of much more style and costliness developed in cloth. The shops are full of exquisite textures and the woman of fashion will select monotones of becoming shades for her new frocks. The gown shown is one of rare good style and suitable to devel- 1 opment in French cashmere, drag d'ete, Henrietta or lady's cloth. The model might serve as a reception gown in one of the light pastel shades of cloth or silk. The skirt is the new thirteen-gored one, with plats stitched in tuck effects. It fits smoothly over the hips and flares with infinite grace at the bottom. The deep collar, continued by trimming straps to the waist-line, is very stunning. The yoke may be made of Italian lace, and the cuffs of a deeper tone of velvet to match the girdle. A frill of lace may finish the sleeves or a deep tight cuff of the yoke material. Large cut steel or silver filigree buttons or medallions of lace may adorn the trimming straps. Needlework on Summer Gowns. Summer gowns show some needlework effects, especially the shirt waists, which are trimmed with embroidered bands. Linen huck is being utilized for bands, lending itself readily to flat darning in a variety of patterns. On plain materials a new idea in darning, which does not require a pattern, is being shown, and this promises to be popular, not only on wash goods, but on heavier materials, and even on silks and satins. New designs are being shown in the canvas and etamine darning, and some handsome summer shirt waists will have insertions and edgings of a new variety of crochet, the foundation of which is done on a wide wooden needle like a hairpin, and is really no more than our old hairpin work, and the finish a fine crochet done on very thin thread in a simple, but most becoming design. These trimming are not difficult to make and launder beautifully. Tatting in wheels and edges will be used more or less, and all of this work is of the kind that can be picked up and worked on in odd moments, so that it is not difficult of accomplishment. Pretty Dinner Gown The princess gown has found especial favor with the fair debutante this season and some exquisite frocks built on these lines have been seen on youthful and attractive wearers. Our sketch suggests this type of gown in white crepe radium, the skirt finished at foot with three season and some exquisite frocks built on these lines have been seen on youthful and attractive wearers. Our sketch suggests this type of gown in white crepe radium, the skirt finished at foot with three deep tucks. The decollete neck is filled in at bust with white lace medallions laid over gold, and narrow lace similarly treated outlines the neck all around, as well as the lower part of bodice and short sleeves, the latter filled in with a double frill of white lace run with gold threads. Leather Ruffles a Novelty. A nouveau from Paris are ruffles made of leather, which are sewed around the bottom of the skirt to protect them from the dust and dirt of the streets. The ruffles are made of STREET COSTUMES FROM PARIS. 1 leather of moderate weight, dyed to match the color of the gown. They are fulled on to a leather band which is attached by means of buttons and buttonholes to the bottom of the gown. In this way these ruffles need only to be worn in the street and can be taken off and brushed and cleaned. They protect the gown better than one can imagine as well as giving the required stiffness to hold out a skirt well around the bottom. WHILE THE TEA DREWS It is said that white will prevail in millinery this spring. Both big and little hats are seen, but none of medium size. A turban of crimson chiffon has a wreath of poppies around it. Tiny gold roses are seen on some of the smartest of the dark, rich hats. Empire models in tea gowns are first favorites among the graceful garments. Black velvet trimming is to play quite an important part on spring dresses. An exaggerated long waist and blouse front is no longer considered good style. Graduated bands of velvet on silk gowns is an old-time feature of present modes. Tips are absent from most of the new shoes. There's a very pretty bit of style in the long, unbroken vamp. Tailored Shirt Waists. Tailored shirt waists are never entirely abandoned by the fashionable women and hold their place in sporting attire. The new models are much like those with which we are familiar, plaited at the shoulders and with a shirt cuff rather than a long fitted cuff, the most authoritative makers having apparently decided that since the more elaborate blouse has set aside the shirt waist, save for very tailorlike costume, the waist may well be as mannish and severe as possible. There are, however, some heavy waists of tailor style not so conventional. One has the familiar plaited body, but a rolling low collar and elbow sleeves with turnback cuffs. This is shown in linen, and a number of severe linen models have the short sleeves with plain turnback cuff. New Ripple from Paris. Dainty evening wrist bags, which cry "Paris" from every fold of the silk of which they are composed, are among the new novelties. They are quaint little brocaded affairs, with jeweled clasps. Each contains a little mirror, a powder puff, and a touch of the bloom of youth. Ribbon Embroideries. Ribbon embroideries for dress garniture are an example of old things masquerading in new uses. We have long been fashillar with this pretty style of work on all sorts of fancy articles for milady's use, but in the new ornamentation of dress accessories these appear altogether different. Many an otherwise quite ordinary gown owes its air of distinction STREET COSTUM The costume at the left is of violet cloth. The bell skirt is finished with a deep flounce headed and trimmed with braid. The short bolero is trimmed with braid and buttons. The waistcoat and collar are of velvet embroidered with gold. The girdle is composed of bands of braid finished in front with knots and buckles. The sleeves are plaited into the armhole, then finished just below the elbow with cuffs of the braid and also cuffs of the embroidered velvet. The other to a little of this decoration on vest and cuff, bodice or belt. Given the materials—and the right sort of ribbon can now be had at almost any embroidery or department store—the work goes easily and quickly, and almost any woman who can use a needle at all can get satisfactory decorative effects with these French embroidery ribbons. Small floral patterns are the prettiest, and one stitch makes a petal, while touches of gold thread and spangles or beads can be introduced with the happiest results. Done on lace in scattered sprays or little wreaths the ribbon work is particularly effective and, entre nous, is a great stunt for refurbishing and freshening a gown that needs the touch. Empire Gowns Gain Favor Empire gowns are slowly but surely galning in favor among the smartest dressed women. When properly made they are truly graceful and picturesque. The soft diaphanous materials are preferred and the majority employ short little boleros of lace or embroidery. An effective suggestion is pale green mousseline de soie over self-tone taffeta, with bolero of green silk eyelet embroidery. A fichu arrangement of the mousseline finishes the decollete waist and two black velvet bows in front give a pretty finishing touch. Velvet Waist. Blouse of violet velvet slightly draped at the bottom and ornamented with buttons. A shaped band of the velvet bordered with a plaiting of taffeta to match, forms the collar, over which is a turn-over of embroidery in delicate colors. T The waistcoat is composed of overlapping pieces of the velvet, ornamented with little buttons. It is finished with little lace ruffles. The chemisette is also of lace, and the girdle is of the velvet. The full sleeves are finished with cuffs made like the waistcoat, and also with prettily draped lace ruffles. Bancroft Pudding.

Suede Wrist Gloves Black suede wrist gloves are worn a good deal. They make the hand look extremely petite. Moreover, they look very well with many theater waists, and, not soiling readily, a pair or two may be made to last the economical girl throughout a season. ES FROM PARIS. costume is of checked wool. The bell skirt is made with a plaited front, which is cut in one piece with the flounce. The latter is headed by a shaped band of the material finished at the ends with crossed straps and buttons. The blouse is plaited to a round yoke, from which escape two straps crossed in front. The collar, buttons and girdle are of velvet, the first ornamented with embroidery The sleeves are trimmed to correspond.
