New Solution Of Negro Problem as Suggested by Wm. Shaw, who says Mob Rule will Prevail and that We can only Secure Justice by Maintaining a Government of Our Own. VOL. XII. New S Of Negro Problem as Suggested Mob Rule will Prevail and cure Justice by M ernment of This great problem of the ages was given to America to solve when her colonies brought our ancesters from old Africa and settled them as slaves among the vine-clad hills and jassamine groves of the Southland of these United States. There they cleared the forest, tilled the fields, built the cities and made that Southland habitutable for the race which kept them in bondage for more than two hundred years. In the course of time the yoke was taken from their necks and they were free. Forty years of freedom look down upon their descendants today. Let us be so by ourselves and for ourselves. Let us leave our neighbors to live peaceably under the laws of the government which they have made for themselves. But when it becomes necessary for one people to separate themselves from another, and to seek among the powers of the states, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature, and the laws of the nation entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of Congress requires, that they should declair the causes which impel them to the separation. The present history of the Southern states is a history of repeated wrongs and oppression; all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute subjugation over the Negro race. Every leaf is a souvenir of slavery. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid people. They have refused their consent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. They have taken from the Negro those inalienable rights to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle him, among these are life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. They have substantially eliminated the common law of justice and substituted therein a mob law, the most horrid, cruel and revolting. They have given their aid and comfort to the white cap clan, who plunder the Negro's home, ravage his fields, and keep him in constant danger while reposing under his own roof and sleeping in his own bed. The sufferers from such outrages can obtain no redress, except through those retaliating measures that must lead to anarchy and bloodshed among the parties concerned. There is no tribunal by which to try, condemn, and by which to punish the offenders. The weak must surrender to the strong, and right must give way to might. When in the course of human experience such wrongs become too oppressive to be born, history shows that governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the goverened. If such be true, and who will deny it? We come directly to the conclusion, that a government of the Negro by the Negro and for the Negro, ordained by congress among the Negroes, is without contradiction the only form under which the case may ever expect to enjoy a more perfect freedom, secure equal justice, provide for a common defense, provide for a common defense, and secure the blessings of freedom to the race and its posterity.—Wm. Shaw, in Freeman. Cummings Buys Home. Baltimore, Md., April 5.—A handsome three-story house on North Gilmore street was sold at auction yesterday and knocked down to Harry Cummings, the colored lawyer, who seconded the nomination of President Roosevelt at the Chicago convention. Cummings declined to say for whom he bought the property, and indignation ran high at the report that it was bought for a colored congregation who propose to use it for an orphan asylum. "We will not tolerate a horde of little picaninnies running about the streets and playing about our front steps," said a matron today. The moving of one colored family into a neighborhood has invariably resulted in a general exodus of whites and a depreciation of at least 50 per cent in the value of all the property. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1906. Silverton Letter. Silverton, Colorado, April 14 1906. To COLORADO STATESMAN. I am here again after an absence of 3 months. Our train was blockaded by a snowstorm and after a delay of two days and walking 5 miles over snowdrifts, I came in last Monday. Silverton has had the worst winter since 1884. I am told, sickness, accidents by snowslides and deaths have been frequent but the people seem cheerful and ready to go to work as soon as the snow melts sufficiently for mining operations. In writing a review of my recent trip through the territories of Arizona and New Mexico. I am sure these two territories will more and more attract the attention of the people and our people must come to the point, where they will get in on the ground floor. As far as our church work is As far as our church work is W. E. Ratcliffe was installed as J. RALPH W. SMITH. Candidate For the School Board. Mr. Ralph W. Smith, whose candidate for member of the School in everyway both worthy and quality of his constituents and the voters of duties of this office. He is an a General Western Manager of the N York and present member of the thoroughly conversant with all my growth of Denver; educationally, c Mr. Ralph W. Smith, whose cut appears above is the people's candidate for member of the School Board of Denver. Mr. Smith is in everyway both worthy and qualified to discharge to the satisfaction of his constituents and the voters of Denver, the responsibilities and duties of this office. He is an attorner-at-law, Vice President and General Western Manager of the National Surity Company of New York and present member of the State Board of Pardons. He is thoroughly conversant with all matters relating to the progress and growth of Denver; educationally, commercially and socially. He has a grasp of the educational problems as effecting primary and secondary and higher education and the relation and primal needs of each in their successive order. The wisest provision of order sanitation, grading, advancement moral influence, justice and promotion will receive the most careful attention at his hands. It will be a credit to the good sense and discriminating judgment and intelligence of the voters of Denver to have Mr. Smith on the School Board and your vote should help to put him there. concerned, Tuscon bids fair to rival Phoenix and that in a short time. After preaching there for 3 weeks, assisted by Rev. A. Wagner one week, we succeeded in securing 35 soldiers to battle for the A. M. E. church—23 regular members and 12 persons who agree to be counted on for moral and financial support. There is a great lady in Tuscon, Mrs. Barnes, whose husband was an honored Federal Judge for 20 years. This Judge was very much interested in the welfare of the colored people and when he died a short while ago he had well defined plans to help a large number to settle in Arizona. This lady wishes to do all she can to carry out the Judges idea so far as religious encouragement is concerned. When we organized our church in all its departments, this lady gave us the use of a large hall in the heart of the city to hold services in till we can see further. Rev. W. E. Ratcliffe was installed as 1910 but appears above is the people's All Board of Denver. Mr. Smith is tried to discharge to the satisfaction of Denver, the responsibilities and Attorney-at-law, Vice President and National Surity Company of New State Board of Pardons. He is letters relating to the progress and commercially and socially. He has a pastor till I can return to Arizona. He had the endorsment of Rev. A. Wagner and the church in Phoenix with which he was associated and has the support of some of the most progressive people of the town, heuce I reason they will make rapid progress. After leaving Tucson I stopped in Douglass, Ariz. At this thriving smelter town on the extreme Southern border of the territory, we have several earnest members and well to do families, who wished to have the A. M. E. church organized there I spoke two nights, one night at the C. M. E. church and one at Bro. E. D. Fails. I organized a church here, we have ten members, but so earnest are they, one brother said he would have a church here if he had to build it at night. Most of our force here are property owners. I also met the good wife of Rev. J. H. Brown of Wards Mission, Denver. She asked me about her husband and said she very much desired to see him. I left Douglass and stopped over a few hours in El Paso, Texas. Rev. Howard, pastor of the A. M. E. church, escorted me around. He seems to have the situation well in hand to build us a new church which is badly needed in this thriving city of 32,000 souls. On the train, I met a young man, Mr. E. D. Williams, of Las Cruces, N. M. He says a few industrious people can certainly do well in his town. He is a barber and also runs a restaurant. I next stopped a short while in Albuquerque, N. M., where I pastored three years, but the place had undergone a complete change for the good. Santa Fe, N. M., was my next stop. Here I met W. H. Kerr and family, and the family of the late W. J. Slaughter, both highly respected and are doing a good barber business. Mr. Kerr says he can vouch that Santa Fe, is second to no town in the United States for business opportunities for wide awake colored men. He can use two good barbers—good wages. A very general interest was manifest in our meetings in Arizona wherever we attempted to hold services. The Governor of Arizona, Hon. J. H. Kibbey, gave me a letter commending my work to the people of his domain, and wishing the A. M. E. church success. I was entertained at the home of Prof. J. W Jenkins during my stay; also had invitations at the homes of many others where excellent repasts were served. I promised the good people of Tucson I would return to them again to continue the good work so well begun by the earnest young people of that thriving town. J. W. SANDERS. NO. 30. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. At Houston, Texsas, Ben Wall plead guilty to carrying a pistol, and was given a jail sentence. His lawyers asked a new trial on the grounds that the indictment was dated "nineteen sex" instead of "nineteen six" and in spite of the plea of guilty, the application was granted. In addition to the four Afro-Americans assigned to type-setting machines in the government printing office Public Printer Stilling has appointed about ten colored men as caster operators. They take charge of the spools of perforated paper from the keyboard operators, and through some intricate process cast the same into type. The men are giving satisfaction. The Negroes of Cherryvale, Kas. are inaugurating an industrial movement which they intend to carry into all the Southern and Southwestern States. The plan is to raise money and establish factories to employ Negroes, to buy farms and sell lots to them on small monthly payments and to encourage in Negroes generally a spirit of industry and frugality. An organization has been affected and a company chartered with an authorized capital of $1,000,000. The shares are being sold at par. New Orleans, April 9.—Nurses in the Jackson sanitarium have gone on a strike because a Negro patient was admitted to one of the wards. Nurses quit in a body declaring that they did not intend to wait on Negroes. The patient was a railroad employee on one of the roads with which the white nurses were ordered to attend the man. The strike followed. The officers made a compromise proposition under, which the white nurses will take the temperature and administer hypodermics, but will do nothing else for Negro patients. Plainfield, N. J., April 12. Plainfield is swamped with hundreds of Negroes, members of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, who claim that the only genuine Jews are Negroes. So many of them have come here from many parts of the country to celebrate the passover that all the lodging houses are filled and 500 men, women and children are walking the streets to-night, with no place to sleep. The members of the church, who wash each others' feet and kiss each other on meeting, assert that Solomon and Abraham were Negroes and that MRS. C. H. PETERSON, Magnetic and DIVINE HEALER.

Suffered Severely With Eczema All Over Body—A Thousand Thanks to Cuticura Remedies. "For over thirty-five years I was a severe sufferer from eczema. The eruption was not confined to any one place. It was all over my body, limbs, and even on my head. I am sixty years old and an old soldier, and have been examined by the Government Board over fifteen times, and they said there was no cure for me. I have taken all kinds of medicine and have spent large sums of money for doctors, without avail. A short time ago I decided to try the Cuticura Remedies, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, two treatments in all, I am now well and completely cured. A thousand thanks to Cuticura. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John T. Roach, Richmondale, Ross Co., Ohio, July 17, 1905." Olive Logan in Poverty. Sitting in a side room of the Harlem Police Court, says a New York dispatch, her silvery hair and shabby black gown framing a pitiful picture of age and poverty, Mrs. Olive Logan, sixty-seven years old, once eminent as an actress, authoress and lecturer and known in her day to the celebrities of two continents, awaited the word from a probation officer, who was pleading with her husband, James O'Neil Logan, twenty-two years her junior, whose arrest she caused for intoxication and non-support, to mend his ways. The officer arranged with her husband so that a deposit will be paid on the rent due for their little room in Harlem, so that they shall not be put into the street, and Logan promised to provide her with food and shelter and to let liquor alone. An Ancient Mariner. Capt. Alexander Simpson of the Aberdeen liner Moravian, recently completed his seventy-first round voyage from London to Sydney, a record which it is believed has no parallel in the mercantile marine. Captain Simpson computes he has sailed 2,000,000 miles without a mishap under the flag of the Aberdeen line, which he joined in 1865.

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Deals With Greed, Dishonesty and Corruption—Would Curb Excessive Fortunes by Progressive Taxation. Washington. The laying of the corerstone of the office building for the house of representatives with solemn Masonic ceremonies Saturday afternoon was made notable by the presence of the President of the United States and many of the Cabinet, by the Supreme Court, by the representatives of foreign governments, by Congress and a large proportion of Washington's population. A number of ladies were on the President's stand, among them being Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Cowles, sister of the President, and Mrs. Fairbanks. Upon the arrival of the grand lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia, with Walter A. Brown, grand master, at their head, the ceremony of laying the cornerstone began. A hermetically sealed box containing and inside copper box with glass top was then placed in position so that the stone would completely envelop it. The box contained numerous articles, books, pictures, autographs, etc. After music and an address by Grand Master Brown, the President was introduced by Speaker Cannon and delivered an address on "The Muck Rake Brigade," saying: "In 'Pilgrim's Progress' the man with the muck rake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life constantly refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. "Now it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is flinth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all services that can be performed. "But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck rake, speedily becomes not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil. "There are in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. "There should be relentless exposure of, and attack upon every evil man, whether political or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man, who on the platform, or in book, Magazine or newspaper, who with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. "The liar is no whiter better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander, he may be worse than most thieves. "It puts a premium upon knavery untruthfully to attack an honest man, or even with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth. An epidemic of indiscriminate assault upon character does no good, but very great harm. The soul of every scoundrel is gladdened whenever an honest man is assailed, or even when a scoundrel is untruthfully assailed. "At this moment we are passing through a period of great unrest—social, political, and industrial unrest. It is of the utmost importance for our future that this should prove to be not the unrest of mere rebelliousness against life, of mere dissatisfaction with the inevitable inequality of conditions, but the unrest of a resolute and eager ambition to secure the betterment of the individual and the nation. "So far as this movement of agitation throughout the country takes the form of a fierce discontent with evil, whether in industry or politics, the feeling is to be heartily welcomed as a sign of healthy life. "It is important to this people to grapple with the problems connected with the amassing of enormous fortunes, and the use of these fortunes, both corporate and individual, in business. We should discriminate in the sharpest way between fortunes well won and fortunes ill won; between those gained as an incident to performing a great service to the community as a whole, and those gained in evil fashion by keeping just within the limits of mere law-honesty. "Of course no amount of charity in spending such fortunes in any way compensates for misconduct in making them. "As a matter of personal conviction and without pretending to discuss the details, or formulate the system, I feel that we shall ultimately have to consider the adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes beyond a certain amount, either given in life or devised or bequeathed upon death, to any individual—a tax so framed as to put it out of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one individual; the tax, of course, to be imposed by the national, and not the state government. "Such taxation should, of course, be aimed merely at the inheritance or transmission in their entirety of those fortunes swollen beyond all health limits. "The men of wealth who to-day are trying to prevent the regulation and control of their business in the interest of the public by the proper government authorities, will not succeed, in my judgment, in checking the progress of the movement. But if they did succeed, they would find that they had sown the wind and would surely reap the whirlwind, for they would ultimately provoke the violent excesses which accompany a reform coming by convulsion, instead of by steady and natural growth.

DIVORCE INVALID DECISION OF UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. ITS EFFECTS FAR REACHING Both Parties to Divorce Suit Must Be Residents of the State—Sets Aside South Dakota Decrees — Makes Thousands of Children illegitimate. Washington. — Consternation is expected to seize scores of prominent men and women who have obtained divorces of the South Dakota type as a result of the most sweeping and important decision ever handed down by the United States Supreme Court. It makes marriage entered into subsequent to such a separation illegal. It is estimated that at least 20,000 children are made illegitimate by the opinion. These are the offspring of marriages based on divorces granted where but one of the parties resided in the state issuing the decree of separation. As Justice Holmes says in a dissenting opinion, it will illegitimate many children and set aside many existing conditions. In its scope and importance too much weight cannot be attached to the decision. The decision is, briefly, thus: No state can dissolve a marriage unless both parties to the divorce suit are residents of the state, and any marriage subsequent to a divorce granted upon an application of this kind is void. In its ramifications and widespread interest it is the most important decision ever rendered by the United States Supreme Court upon this subject. The case is that of John W. Haddock against Harriet Haddock, a divorce proceeding instituted in the courts of New York. The decision is in favor of the woman. The Haddocks were married in 1868 and the husband claimed to have been an unwilling participant to the ceremony. He says in his answer to the woman's complaint that he left her immediately after the marriage rites were performed and during all the time that has intervened ha seen her only three times. In 1881 he secured a divorce in the state of Connecticut, where he then resided, and in 1882 was married to another woman. The New York Supreme Court held the second marriage ceremony to be illegal, decreed the first wife to be still the legal wife and directed Haddock to pay her an annuity of $780. That finding was sustained by yesterday's decision, which held that Mrs. Haddock was without the jurisdiction of the Connecticut court. Justice White, in deciding the case, laid down the general principle that a state in which only one party to a divorce proceeding resides has no right to dissolve a marriage tie, which all other state must respect. Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown united in a dissenting opinion, which was delivered by Justice Brown. They took the position that the Connecticut divorce proceeding was regular and is entitled to due credence in other states. Justice Brown declared in his opinion that the court had taken a backward step in this decision. CHICAGO TO NEW YORK. Electric Line to Make Distance In Ten Hours. Chicago—Ten hours between Chicago and New York on trains operated by electricity, and making an average speed of seventy-five miles an hour, is the plan of incorporators of the Chicago & New York Electric Air Line railroad. The scheme appears to be far in the future, however. It is asserted that "some of the right of way has been secured," but the projectors decline to say how much. They hope to have the road in operation in five years. As the name implies, the proposed road will sacrifice everything for speed and distance. According to the statement of Jonathan D. Price, president of the Co-operative Construction Company, which was organized to build the road, the line will be 742 miles long, or 200 miles shorter than any steam road now connecting the two cities. Part of the line already has been surveyed. The first section of the road to be built, according to the promoters, will be out of Chicago, and the work on this, one of the incorporators said last night, will begin soon. In choosing the route no attention is paid to whether the line runs through large cities or not. As now surveyed the road will be eight miles south of South Bend, Indiana, and at that point it is proposed to build a station and run a spur into the city. The same plan will be followed where the road passes near any other city. These spur lines will be connected with the street railway systems in each town, and it is proposed to run freight trains at night. Details as to the kind of cars to be used have not been thoroughly worked out, according to F. H. Wood, a lawyer of Oak Park, Illinois, who is one of the incorporators. He suggested, however, that the Germans have attained great success in building third-rail roads, such as it is proposed this one will be, and he mentioned the fact that on a specially constructed roadbed electric trains there have been operated at 131 miles an hour. Reclamation Director. Washington—In the House Tuesday a bill was passed creating in the Department of the Interior a director of reclamation service, who is to have a salary of $6,000 a year, to be paid out of the reclamation fund. Until the President appoints the director the present official designated by the secretary of the interior shall have charge. His salary of $1,500 a year is increased to $6,000 a year. One of the reasons for appointing the director at this time is to give the reclamation service a legal status. From now on it is understood the work will progress at much more rapid rate than heretofore. The scarcity of labor in the Northwest, the increase in the price of materials, and also in the rate of wages, has caused great delay in carrying out government reclamation projects. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS.

Tuskegee Institute will complete this year the first twenty-five years of its existence, writes Booker T. Washington in the April World's Book. It was opened July 4, 1881, with one teacher and thirty pupils. At that time it had neither land or buildings, nothing but the $2,000 a year granted by the Alabama Legislature. Even the dilapidated shanty and the old church in which its first sessions were conducted were lent by the colored people of the village. It was not long, however, before the school acquired a small tract of land. The first piece of live stock which it became possessed of was an old blind mule, the gift of a white man in the neighborhood. This represented the capital of the school. At the close of the school year last May it owned 2,000 acres of land, eighty-three buildings, large and small, used as dwellings, dormitories, class rooms, shops and barns, which, together with the equipment, live stock, stock in trade and other personal property, were valued at about $831,895.32. This does not include 22,000 acres of public land remaining unsold from the 25,000 granted by Congress valued at $135,000, nor the endowment fund, which amounted January 1, 1906, to $1,275,664.

When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention This Paper. W. N. U.—DENVER.—NO. 16.—1904. a woman whose experience with women's disses covers a great many years. Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years underher direction, and since her decease, she has been advising sick women free of charge. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for special advice. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it, "I do not believe it will help me." W. L. DOUGLAS $3.50 & $3.00 SHOES FOR MEN W. L.

The conclusions reached are that breed does not govern so much as the laying strain or families of a breed highly developed as egg producers. The pen of four Buff Orpingtons led from October 16th to November 16th by producing forty-nine eggs, and again on November 16th to December 16th with 120 eggs. One thing the present competition shows is the little help it is to birds to be what show enthusiasts call "beautifully marked," for as often as not it is the ordinary looking competitor, birds a show judge would laugh at, that have the biggest total of eggs to their credit. In the winter laying competition what stands a bird in good stead is not that its father was the winner of a medal, but that its mother and grandmother were wonderful layers, and that its male parents also came from a good laying strain.

They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medicines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for various ailments and cines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for certain easily recognized diseases. A glance at the printed formula on a bottle will show that no alcohol and carbonated drinks are required into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are best and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic diseases. Dr. R. V. Pierce can be consulted at Buffalo, N Y., and all communications are regarded as sacredly confidential. It is as easy to be well as ill—and much more comfortable. Constipation is the cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules.

Denver—A Republican special from Greeley Tuesday night says: Tom O'Nell was arrested this afternoon on a warrant sworn out by Coroner Macy, charging him with being an accomplice in the murder of Jack Boyle, shot at the Ketchum ranch, near Cheyenne, last Friday. O'Nell came here this morning from Cheyenne with O. T. Perry, his brother-in-law, and J. W. Hammond, Jr., of Cheyenne. O'Nell said the arrest did not surprise him. He was arraigned and placed under $5,000 bond, which was furnished. O'Neill to-day said: "I knew nothing about the murder of Jack Boyle until Saturday morning, April 14th. I spent Friday night in Cheyenne and did not return home until the following morning, when I reached home about 9 o'clock. I left the saddle on the horse and this is the animal which Sheriff Smalley and Seassida and Kerrigan saw in the stable and whose hoofprints they claimed they traced from the Ketchum ranch to within a mile of my place. There is no road between the Ketchum ranch and mine, nothing but open prairie. Any practical range man would laugh at the idea of being able to follow hoofprints across an open range. All the horses in the stable seen by Sheriff Smalley and the two men belong to me. As for my hired man acting strangely I will say that he is a German and not talkative." NOTHING TO ARBITRATE. Letter of Anthracite Operators to John Mitchell New York.—A sub-committee of presidents of the anthracite coal carrying railroads and mine operators held a meeting in this city Tuesday and drew up a letter to President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America in which the operators again declare that there is nothing to arbitrate except the question whether there shall be any arbitration. This reply was made in response to President Mitchell's recent amended proposition of arbitration. The operators do not, however, refuse point blank to accept Mitchell's latest plan. They assert that all the differences between the miners and their employers have been decided by the strike commission and that there is no reason why any attempt should be made to arbitrate them. "The fundamental principles of regarding the conduct of this business have all been established by the strike commission," the operators declare. "No reason is suggested why they should be retried. We have no further suggestions to make than those contained in our former propositions and we regret that you have declined both of them. We have nothing further to offer." Murder in the Second Degree. Denver.—A Canon City dispatch Tuesday night says: The trial of Mel Long on the charge of killing his brother-in-law, James Good, was concluded to-day and a verdict of murder in the second degree returned. A peculiar feature of the trial was the fact that the attorneys for the prisoner objected to the admission of testimony from Long's wife under a principle of the common law which holds that the relationship between husband and wife is so intimate as to render them practically one and the same person. The objection was sustained by the court and Mrs. Long was not permitted to testify. The extreme penalty for murder in the second degree is life imprisonment. Increase in Immigration. Washington.—The total immigration to the United States from all countries during the month of March, 1906, according to a statement issued by the Immigration Bureau, is 133,245, or an increase of seventy per cent. over March, 1904. The number arriving in March, 1905, is given as 126,932. The number debarred during the same month was 659, an increase of forty per cent. over 1904. The Russian immigration to this country during March, 1906, was 24,202, an increase of seventy-five per cent. over 1904, the immigration for March, 1905, being 16,318. For the six months ended March 31, 1906, the immigration from all countries was 463,316. Missionary Convention. Denver.—Denver is soon to see the largest religious convention which has been held here since the big International Christian Endeavor convention of three years ago. May 22d, 23d and 24th the Rocky Mountain Missionary convention of the M. E. Church will be held in this city and 5,000 people are expected. The states represented will be Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Montana and Texas. Rev. Dr. William D. Phifer of this city is chairman of the convention and head of the Colorado committee, which has the executive portion of the convention on its hands. Would Manage Prisons. London.—With a view to finally taking over all the prisons, asyliums and work houses in the United Kingdom, Bramwell Booth, son of the head of the Salvation Army, has offered to take control of the institutions of any city for three years as an experiment, believing that the Salvation Army can manage them more successfully and cheaper than can the government. Former Coloradan Dead. Boston.—Henry C. Leach, who in the years following the Civil War was president of the Colorado Territorial Council, and to whose efforts was largely due the vetoing by President Andrew Johnson of the first bill admitting Colorado as a state, died suddenly Tuesday, aged seventy-four. FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her Family by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When the blood is impoverished the nerves starve and neuralgia or something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people. By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have performed those remarkable cures that make it impossible for any nervous sufferer to neglect them. A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter Morrisette, of No. 315 Eleventh street, Alpena, Mich., who writes as follows: "My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born I had a kind of paralysis. I was very weak and my mouth was a little crooked. I was always tired and was so nervous that I could not bear to hear a dog bark or a bell ring—even the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart fluttered a great deal and I had dizzy spells. I was not able to be left alone. "My doctor gave me different kinds of medicine, changing it several times. When it was evident that he could not help me he said he did not understand my case. This was three years ago and I was very much discouraged, when my brother, who had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed a change for the better when I was taking the second box. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I have been well ever since. I now do all my own housework, sewing and washing for seven of us." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also cured diseases caused by impure or impoverished blood such as rheumatism, anemia and after-effects of the grip. All drugists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or the remedy will be mailed, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

COTTON IS STILL KING. Continues Our Most Valuable Agricultural Export. When we say cotton is king, what do we mean? Cotton was once king of the crops, says Gilson Willets in Leslie's Weekly. It is so no longer. Wheat is now eonrhed. Though the cotton crop for the last year was 13,654,028 bales (Cotton Exchange figures), the wheat crop of the year exceeded the cotton crop in value by more than $100,000,000. But wise men say that King Wheat is a pretender, temporarily crowned, and that cotton will soon again resume rightful place as king of the crops. The world depends upon this country for clothes. Clothes mean principally cotton. It is natural, then, since this country is the principal grower of cotton, that our most valuable agricultural export should be cotton. Of cotton we have practically a monopoly; and it is the only crop of which we have such monopoly; that it is, indeed, the only staple crop of which any nation has anything approaching a monopoly. Then there's the still growing trade in the far East. How may that trade ultimately help to reseat cotton as king? Mr. Wu Ting Fang, as minister at Washington, said: "If every Chinaman in China should add one inch to his shirt tail, this alone would consume the whole American cotton crop." "Do you believe in the government ownership of railways?" "Well," replied the legislator, scarkching his head in a non-committal way, "I dunno. Do you thing the government would give passes?" It is folly to tell a girl that hard work will enhance the beauty of her face. A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison Was Doing the Mischief. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and have suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day in 1904, a woman doctor told me to drink Postum Food Coffee. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headache began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough I expect to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Now that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum Food Coffee, I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that cured me. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. By brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE FOLLOWED BY FIRE DESTROYS NEARLY ALL OF SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, April 18—Earthquake and fire to-day have put nearly half of San Francisco in ruins. At least 200 people have been killed, a thousand others injured and the property loss will exceed $100,000,000. Late tonight the fires were still raging fiercely and another severe shock was reported. Practically all of the finest buildings have been swept by flames and none can tell where the work of destruction will end. Thousands of people are homeless and destitute, and all day long streams of people have been fleeing from the stricken districts to places of safety. It was 5:15 o'clock this morning when a terrific earthquake shook the whole city and surrounding country. One shock apparently lasted two minutes, and there was almost immediate collapse of filmsy structures all over the city. The water supply was cut off, and when fires broke out in various sections there was nothing to do but to let the buildings burn. Telegraph and telephone communication was shut off for a time. The Western Union was put completely out of business and the Postal company was the only one that managed to get a wire out of the city. At about 10 o'clock the Postal was forced to suspend in San Francisco. Electric power was stopped, and street cars did not run. Railroads and ferry-boats also ceased operations. Great fires have been raging all day and the fire department has been powerless to do anything except to dynamite the buildings threatened. All day long explosions have shaken the city and added to the terror of the inhabitants. Following the first shock there was another within five minutes but not nearly so severe. Three hours later there was another slight quake. Reports from districts outside of San Francisco indicate widespread damage and many deaths. The Cliff House, the great pleasure resort and show place of the city, which stood upon a foundation of solid rock, has been swept into the sea. Not a thing stands to tell where the monster stone building once stood. It has been leveled to the foundation, and only the rock lining the seacoast remains intact. The newspapers have ceased all effort to collect news and the Associated Press force is compelled to act independently. Large Buildings Destroyed. San Francisco, April 19.—Old landmarks, made famous by association with the early history of California as well as the new monuments to the commercial prosperity of the California metropolis, have been wiped out of existence by the dreadful conflagration. One of the first to fall a prey to the flames after the destruction of the business district was the Palace hotel, known the world over to travelers. It was built in the '70s by James Ralston at a cost of $6,000,000 and was owned by the Sharon estate. Many of San Francisco's wealthy residents made their home at the Palace and personal property losses in art treasures and other effects have been great. The Hopkins Art Institute, located on "Nobb hill," owned by the University of California and built by Mark Hopkins, was destroyed, with its priceless contents. Close by were the Stanford mansion, the Huntington, the Flood and the two Crocker mansions. All were swept away. These were the handsomest private residences in San Francisco and were built by the men whose names they bear in the early days of the city's greatness and who played such important roles in the development of the Pacific coast. The great new Flood building, built by James Flood at a cost of $4,000,000 and occupied about, a year ago; the new Merchants' Exchange building on California street, erected at a cost of $2,500,000; the Crocker building at Montgomery and Market streets, a million-dollar structure; the Mills building at Bush and Montgomery, costing the same; the new Shreve building at Post street and Grant avenue, costing $2,000,000, and occupied April-1st by the largest jewelry store on the coast, are some of the new structures destroyed by the flames. The Shreve Jewelry Company carried a stock worth $2,000,000. On Market street the Phelan building, one of the earliest attempts at a pretentious form of architecture in the business district, and covering the most valuable piece of real estate in San Francisco, is gone. The great group of buildings standing on a piece of ground bounded by Larkin, McAllister and Grove streets, erected by the city of San Francisco at a cost of $7,000,000 and known as the city and county buildings, are now a mass of smoking, smoldering ruins. With the buildings were probably destroyed the city and county records. The beautiful St. Francis hotel, facing Union square, erected at a cost of $4,500,000, and the Fairmount hotel at California and Powell streets, the most conspicuous location in the city, are in ruins from the flames. The Fairmount was built by Mrs. Herman Oelrichs at a cost of $3,000,000 and named in honor of her father, the late Senator James J. Fair. The magnificent group of buildings at Van Ness avenue and Hayes street of the St. Ignatius College and Cathedral, probably worth $2,000,000, and St. Dominick's church on Steiner street near California, and the Emanuel synagogue, a handsome structure of the Oriental type on Sutter street, were wiped out. The Hall of Justice, facing Portsmouth square and just east of Chinatown, was early a prey of the flames. Sweeping up the hillside the unrestrained element leaped from block to block through Chinatown, the combustible material of the flimsy structures feeding the flames like powder. Up and on and over the hills to the westward the conflagration gained headway when it reached the residence section. From Golden Gate avenue northward to Pacific street the buildings were dynamited to stay the progress of the flames, but without avail. The heat was so intense that the ruins of buildings were ignited by spontaneous combustion. Out on Van Ness avenue, the fashionable drive across the city from the north to south, the devastation is complete on the east side, but the fate of the Spreeckels, the Hobart and other great mansions on the west side is not known at this hour. The branch United States mint on Fifth street, near Market, was not destroyed, but was damaged to a considerable extent. Its escape is due to the fact that it occupied a large square separated from surrounding buildings by a wide paved space. Two blocks west of the mint stood the splendid new postoffice building, finished about six months ago and erected at a cost of $2,000,000, for actual construction. It was one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States, said to have been equalled in architectural excellence only by the new Congressional library at Washington. It was destroyed. Down in the older business section were many old landmarks, but they exist no longer. The Occidental hotel on Montgomery street, for years the headquarters for army officers visiting San Francisco; the old Lick house, built by the philanthropist, James Lick; the old Russ house, also on Montgomery street; the Nevada National Bank block, the Haywards building at California and Montgomery, a modern structure of ten stories; then to the eastward the splendid example of the severe Gothic style, the California Na- tional Bank; the First National Bank, the First Canadian Bank of Commerce, the London and San Francisco on California, the London, Paris and American Bank, the Bank of British North America on Sansome street, the large German American Savings Bank, also on California—these are a few of the notable buildings destroyed in that district. The California hotel and theater on Bush street near Montgomery, the Grand Opera House on Mission street, where the Conreid Grand Opera Company had just opened a series of three weeks of opera; the Orpheum, the Columbia, the Alcazar, the Majestic, the Central, Fisher's, were some of the playhouses to which pleasure-loving San Francisco was wont to flock. Among the splendid apartment houses destroyed are: On Geary street the St. Augustine, the Alexandria, the Victoria and the Elyseum; on Sutter street, the Pleasanton, the Aberdeen, the Waldeck, the Granada; on Pine street, the Colonial, the Loma Vista, the Buena Vista; on Ellis, the Dufferin, the Hamilton, the Ellis, the Royal, the Hart, the Ascot and St. Catherine; on O'Farrell, the Eugene, the Knox, the St. George, the Ramon, the Gotham; on Taylor, the Abbey; on Eddy, the Abbotsford; on Turk, the Netherlands; on Polk, the Savoy; on Bush, the Plymouth. San Francisco was famous for the excellence of its restaurants. Many of these were known wherever the traveler discussed good living. Among them were the "Pup" and Marschand's on Stockton street; the Poodle Dog, one of the most ornate, distinctive restaurant buildings in the United States; Zinkand's and the Fiesta on Market street, the famous Palace grill in the Palace hotel, and scores of Bohemian resorts in the old part of San Francisco. These are no more. At the junction of Kearney, Market and Geary streets stood the three great newspaper buildings of San Francisco—the Call, the most conspicuous structure in all the city, seventeen stories high; across the street the Hearst building, the home of the Examiner, and to the north of this, on the opposite side of Market street, the Chronicle, a modern ten-story newspaper and office building, with the sixteen-story annex under course of construction. All were destroyed. Two blocks north on Kearney street were the Bulletin and Post buildings. These also are gone. Among the mammoth department stores destroyed are the Emporium, Hale's and Prager's on Market; on Kearney street, the White House, O'Connor and Moffat's, 'Newman and Levinson, Roos Bros., Raphael's, the Hub, and many other lesser establishments; on Geary street are the Davis, the City of Paris; Samuels on Post street; Vei Strauss on Sansome street; Wallace, Nathan, Dohrman & Co., and Bullock & James. The Emporium was the largest and handsomest store of its kind west of Chicago. Fearful Property Loss. Oakland, Cal., April 19.—A newspaper man who crossed the bay late this afternoon gives the following graphic description of the destruction of San Francisco: "San Francisco is a city of ruins. "There is no pen that can describe the scene of desolation left in the wake of the terrible disaster that has overtaken it. What made San Francisco famous is nothing but heaps of smoldering debris. Its magnificent buildings, its markets, its gay and happy throngs, are no more. "Its inhabitants are fleeing from it as though from a dread pestilence. The ferries are taking its thousands at every trip. The boats running in every direction are loaded to the water line with fleeing people. "East street presents a scene the rout of an army never equaled for its disorder. Extending along the water front, it is the only means of access to the ferries. It is the one highway along which rich and poor, old and young, with their bedding and worldly possessions tied up in every sort of odd package, are making their way The scene beggars description and the pen of a Hugo or a Tolstoi would be unequal to give an adequate idea of it. "And, ahl the loss of it; the awful isolation and waste of what men in this world set great store by. The loss is untold and the effects will be far-reaching. The insurance companies are threatened with a loss probably equaled only by the great fire at Chicago." State University Stands. Berkeley, Cal., April 19.—By a seeming miracle the big university buildings standing on the campus elevation escaped harm in the earthquake shock. Recorder James Sutton of the university said: "I have made a personal examination of the buildings and received reports from deans of the colleges and it appears that not one of the buildings is harmed in the slightest degree. "Professor O'Neill of the chemistry department reports that the damage done to the instruments in the building will not aggregate more than $50. California hall has not a mark to indicate that an earthquake occurred this morning. The other buildings appear to be in the same condition. The Greek theatre has not a scratch on its walls." The town of Berkeley was not so fortunate as the university in the matter of damage sustained. No lives were lost, nor were there any notable disasters to buildings, but the aggregate damage in the shape of twisted structures, broken chimneys and falling walls will be many thousands of dollars. Summary of Damages. Oakland, Cal., April 19.—Here is a summary of what has occurred, according to latest reports, in various places outside of San Francisco: Palo Alto—Leland Stanford, Jr., University is practically destroyed.

Oakland, Cal., April 19.—A late report confirms the dispatch which General Funston sent to the War Department earlier in the evening. He said that the flames had crossed Van Ness avenue, the dividing line between the better residence district and the rest of the city, and that the town was doomed. Everything worth mentioning except this residence district was burned over by fire or on fire by yesterday afternoon. The flames finished with the business district, ran south through what remained of the tenement district, extended out through the Mission, a region of cheap residences, and leaped to Nob hill, where stand the great mansions of the early-day California millionaires. Before that time the water supply had been wholly exhausted. Even the sewers were sucked dry. At 2 o'clock the firemen brought to the volunteer helpers the news that there was no more dynamite. It passed from mouth to mouth. "No more dynamite!" This cry was the doom of San Francisco. As a last resort General Funston emptied the artillery magazines of the Presidium, and the troops and firemen tried to make a last stand at Van Ness avenue, west of which lie the homes of the rich and well-to-do. Funston's telegram at 8 o'clock last night showed that they had failed, and the late news over the direct Western Union wire confirmed this. Relief Fund Started. San Francisco, April 19.—The committee on safety, consisting of fifty prominent citizens, met with Mayor Schmitz this morning and organized a finance committee, composed of James N. Phelan, F. W. Hellman, Claus Spreckels, J. Downey Harvey, Thomas Magee, J. L. Flood, William Babcock, W. F. Herrin, M. H. DeYoung and Robert J. Tobin. Before the meeting had organized, Claus Spreckels gave $25,000; Rudolph Spreckels, $10,000; Harry Tevis, $10,000; Gordon Blanding, $10,000; Eleanor Martin, $5,000; J. L. Flood, $5,000, with a promise of more. Tremor at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, April 19—At 12:33 o'clock this afternoon Los Angeles experienced a distinct earthquake shock of short duration. Absolutely no damage was done, but thousands of people were badly frightened. Tall office buildings and many stores were hurriedly deserted. The shock passed off in a few minutes and most of those who had fled soon returned. The San Francisco horror has strung the populace here to a high tension. A spell of sultry weather serves to increase the general nervousness. Denver, Colo., March 1, 1906.
