Denver Gas and Electric Co. Why the Denver Gas and Electric Company's Franchises Should be Granted. It seems to be the fashion nowadays with some people of certain peculiar views and tendencies to distrust and fight anything and everything offered by a corporation. And this distrust is sometimes so obstinate, blind and unreasoning in its character that grave doubts often arise, even in the disinterested mind as to the sincerity or true motives of the persons making the opposition. It matters not how frank, how fair and how clearly beneficial to the community the proposal might be, their lynx-eyed minds affect to see some fatal hook lurking under what they are pleased to regard merely as a tempting bait. Their motto concerning corporations of every kind is: "We fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts." Thus, with minds so beclouded and warped by prejudice, in hunting with their fertile imaginations for jobs and evil schemes that nobody can see but themselves, they lose sight of the real great and abounding good offered. Yet if they would pause and reflect in a single cool moment they would quickly see how foolish and unjust is this indiscriminate war on corporations. There is nothing sinister or devilish about corporations per se. They are composed of human beings of average intelligence, honesty and goodness. It is true they are not missionaries or martyrs, offering up themselves on the altar of their country purely and solely for the unalloyed good of the community, with no thought of gain to themselves. No worthy and useful corporation ever, either in words or acts, assumes such a role, though fake ones sometimes do, and then it is not necessary to be argus-eyed to detect the hook beneath the bait. In this intricate, amazing and many-sided civilization of ours, great enterprises must be carried on by great bodies organized for the purpose, because no individual, however wealthy, is willing to take the risk of placing his entire fortune in a single venture. The Denver Gas & Electric Company offers to the city of Denver a plain business proposition, such as one business man might offer to another. It seeks the franchise and right to locate, build, purchase, maintain and operate a plant or plants, and works for the manufacture and generation of gas and electricity for lighting, heating and power purposes. It specifies, as the city charter requires, the certain streets, alleys and places this franchise shall cover or touch. It also tenders a bid to the city under certain plain terms and conditions for the purchase of the property, franchises, rights and contracts of the practically defunct Lacombe Electric Company. The city for several years has had a contract or option, still in active existence, for the purchase by the city at a fixed price the entire plant, assets, franchises and rights of this company. Under the terms of this contract and option this purchase must be completed in April, 1907. The city has already paid $100,000 on this option, and in another year will have paid $20,000 more, leaving a balance of $130,000 to be met next year—the whole consideration being $250,000. It has been shown by one of the most eminent electrical engineering experts in the country that the plant and entire holdings of this company have become greatly depreciated in value, that its machinery and appliances are antiquated and not up to the standard required for the present, increasing and future needs of a rapidly growing and progressive city—in a word, that it is not up-to-date, and cannot be made to meet these demands except by an additional enormous outlay of several hundred thousand dollars. Here is a situation that the taxpayers did not take into consideration. It is one that must be met and solved in less than a year. This involves a great burden of additional taxation. Two propositions in this dilemma are submitted to the voters for their acceptance or rejection. The so-called Initiative Ordinance is a demand that the city perfect its contract of sale by paying the balance of $130,000, getting possession of the property with all its infirmities, and operating it as best it may. The other is an offer by a reliable home corporation to assume the contract and rights of the city, take this white elephant (so to speak) off its hands, and continue to operate, improve and extend the plant and its sphere of usefulness. The Denver Gas & Electric Company is an old, experienced corporation. It has rendered and is rendering splendid service to the people. As a further consideration for the franchises it seeks, it proposes to increase the number of arc lights and make a general charge to the city of $60 per year for each instead of $90, the price now being paid. Isn't that a good thing? But the company does better. As a still further consideration it offers the city a round million dollars to be paid in installments of $12,500 each and every quarter-year, for a period of twenty years, or during the life of the franchises so acquired. It DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 28. 1906. goes still further. It proposes to pay into the city treasury in cash a certain percentage of its gross earnings, both from the sale of gas and electricity, increasing this percentage every two years until 1914. Now this is no uncertain or fake proposition. It proposes the way in which the city shall ascertain whether the company is in good faith carrying out its offer. The payments are to be made within thirty days after each calendar year, and the auditor of the City and County of Denver shall have the privilege of examining the books to see the gross sales and receipts and determine the amounts of this percentage. Certainly the above proposals must relieve the taxpayers of considerable burden, and none should hesitate to accept them. This can only be done by voting "Yes" on the question of granting the franchises to the Denver Gas & Electric Company. Denver Tramway as it Affects Our People. There is no element of our population more eager to have the Tramway Company's proposed franchises granted than the colored people. Race prejudice has so frequently operated to deny them the privilege of renting houses with modern improvements in desirable localities near the business centres, that they have at length tardily resumed the conclusion they must own their own homes. Poverty would necessarily prevent the great majority from buying within these areas. They must therefore turn their eyes to the suburban districts to select residence locations. They are in fact doing this very thing in ever-increasing numbers. It is a good sign, and one that indicates the growth of thrift and a spirit of responsibility and manly self-reliance. But the social instinct is very strong in our race. They like to keep in touch with what is going on in the more crowded parts of the city. They could never be induced to reside in the sparsely-settled outskirts of the city, miles away from its centre, if they could not be in easy reach of the car lines. This consideration is a strong factor in determining their choice of locality. So that it might almost literally be said that the Denver Tramway Company enhances the value of suburban real estate, makes it desirable for residences and sells it. The wiser ones among us are steadily availing themselves of the benefit of this fact. The proposed franchises sought by this company enlarge the areas and multiply the direction in which increased values are established, thus affording greater scope for the selection of locality. With the rapid growth of the city and the ever-approaching car line, and with it a desirable population, those who took time by the forelock and purchased homes in these waste places will find themselves in the course of time possessed of very valuable and attractive residences. Not one of this class will vote "No" upon the question of granting the franchises to the Denver Tramway Company. And none of those who may be more fortunate at present to own homes nearer the centre will vote against that proposition. We believe the colored taxpayers will all vote in the affirmative by writing the word "YES." La Junta Notes. Mrs. James Scott is on the sick list.

When all is done, and my last word is said, And ye who loved me murmer, "He is dead." Let no one weep, for fear 'that I should know, And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so. When all is done and in the oozing clay, Ye lay this cast-off hull of mine away, Pray not for me, for, after long despair. The quiet of the grave will be a prayer. For I have suffered loss and grievous pain, The hurts of hatred and the world's disdain. The wounds so deep that love, well-tried and pure, Had not the pow'r to ease them or to cure. When all is done, say not my day is o'er. And that tho' night I seek a dimmer shore: Say rather that my morn has just be- gun. gut I greet the dawn, and not a setting sun When all is done. —PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR. F. W. White, in last Sunday's Post gives an interesting and flattery review of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar during his stay in Denver. In part he said: I see the magazines of this country and of Europe are just now busily engaged in proclaiming Paul Laurence Dunbar, Negro, a wonderful poet and deeply reflective writer. It is the way of the world. As was said of Richard Brinsley Sheriday "they helped to bury whom they helped to starve." Let me tell you something. It must, of necessity, be a little personal, but I trust my gracious readers will pardon an occasional lapse of that sort. Six or seven years ago the proprietors of this newspaper, having built up their establishment to a high position in the city and state, concluded to give it a national character and occasionally considered the ways and means. I was invited into one conference on the subject. "Why not," it was suggested, "in addition to your present home staff of writers and artists, engage for The Post a groupe of men and women of national reputation. Bring them to Denver. Make them free lances. Allow them to write what they please, how they please and when they please. You will then get the very best that is in them." The proprietors heartily endorsed the suggeston. Tentatively the remark was made: "It will take a lot of money to accomplish this." The answer of the owners was that that need not be considered. NO. 31. "If the idea can be carried out, whether its cost be ten thousand or a hundred thousand, it will be all the same. Let us have the best talent the country affords. Let them come to Denver and Colorado, live here among us; have them write for The Post only, as much or as little as they choose. And when they are tired they can go back. Or they can stay on forever if they desire." This was what the staff agreed upon after some consideration: Senator J. J. Ingalls of Kansas, editorial writer. Julian Hawthorne, Edgar Saltus, George Siler, special writers. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Winifred Black. Mary MacLain, women writers. Frederick Remington, Homer Davenport, artist. Paul Laurence Dunbar, Negro poet. When Paul Laurence Dunbar came and joined The Post staff, I am frank to say he created no sensation, and perhaps was not appreciated. The morning of his arrival I went up to see him, and we strolled out to the park together, from his quarters on Champa street, I think it was. As you can really imagine, he was a most interesting man, modest, sensitive unusual. He rather suggested in his manner Robert Louis Stevenson, that most exquisite of essayists. Notwithstanding his race and color, Dunbar had the gentleness, the fineness, the graceful vocabulary of his white prototype, expressing himself with the same beauty of diction. I remember asking him to write—as his first article for The Post—his impressions of Denver, as he saw it when he came in on the train. He did. It was a poetic and charming piece of work. I suppose few readers of this paper remember it. He described the long line of smoke from the smelters, which seemed to him like a huge steamer, with a wonderful back-ground of the white capped mountains. He called it the "flag of Colorado prosperity," and ne let his fancy play on his idea. Dunbar remained with us a month or two. He wrote frequently and very well, but I imagine in (Continued to 4th page) San Francisco.—At 3:45 o'clock this To Rebuild More Beautiful (Wednesday) afternoon a sheck of] San Francisco—James D.

The earthquake caused the death of Mrs. Annie Whitaker, aged twenty-two years. Mrs. Whitaker was at work in the kitchen of her home on Shotwell street, in the Misgion district, when the shock came. The chimney, which had been left in a tottering con ition by the heavy quake last Wednes- day crashed through the roof upon the young woman and fractnred her skull. Street cars are promised for to-mor- row morning and electric lights will be turned on to-morrow evening. ‘This was a day of optimistic reports from all sides. “Conditions improv- ing” was the happy expression from those who have had charge of the self- imposed duties of caring for their less fortunate fellow townsmen during the last few days. In fact, now that the most important duty will hereafter be performed by the United States army, that of distributing the food and sup- ‘plies which have been donated most lay- ishly by the people, the citizens of San Franeisco have turned their attention to the details of the reconstruction of their business. ‘There was resumption of business to an astonishing extent to-day, consider- ing the conditions throughout the rest dent section, Retail stores were instrucied to reopen and the municipal govergment has established a scale of prices for the most important com- modities, food, clothing, ete., which is even below that existing under normal conditions. Warning was given retatl- ers that any effort on their part to charge exorbitant prices would result in summary action by the authorities. Gradually the national government is taking over the work of suecoring the homeless and foodless thousands of San Francisco and toanoivow the representatives of the army will have charge of the gigantic task of issuing food to all those who still remain in the city. ‘This development resulted from the meeting of the executive committee to- day and the work will be turned over to the quartermaster of this depart- ment, who will establish a complete system of issuing rations at ail of the fifty-eight stations throughout the city. The lack of anything like an ept- demic of disease since the disaster that overtook San Francisco has. sur- prised even the medical men, Every- where sanitary conditions are most sat- isfactory. Probably there has been less sickness at the Presidio camp than any of the others, and this may be, attrib: uted to the fact that the people there have been sheltered, fed and directed by the army officers. The water problem ts still a serious one. It was decided to-day that still further restrictions should be put upon the use of the water now available. Hereafter and until the system has been entirely inspected and repaired there is to be but one water “tap” for each block throughout the city, UNITED STATES MINT. ye ee i yl TUNG wa TT ARE re.

Several of the foundries and factories located in the district near the water front and south of Market street are preparing to re- sume operations at the carliest possi ble moment.

So many inguiries had come to the heads of the various de- partments, civil and military, all ask- ing how and by whonr the money #9 generously contributed would be ©x- pended, that the Associcted Press was asked to communicate to the country at large the plan for disbursing those funds, and the assuraace thet every doljar would be put to the use for which it was intended. All expenditures will be authorized by the finance committee of the citi zens and Red Cross funds. ‘The met- bers of this committee are representa: tive bankers, business men and jurists of San Francisco, and Dr, Devine of the National Red Cross Soclety. ‘This committee will audit ail accounts and make a detailed report to the War De partment, where a final audit and state ment will be made. At noon Thursday the distribution of food to the city of San Francisco was formally turned over to the United States army, which will aet under the system already described. Under this system many of the abuses that have prevailed in the giving out of supplies by the various local and outside relict organizations, each of which has acted independently of all others, will be dis continued and the direction of ail th« stations will be centralized In the de pot of the quartermaster of the army at this post under Major Duyal. The reports from the leading hos pitals at the Presidio and at Golder Gate park today showed that the number of patients is less than yester day. At the general hospital in the Presidio there were 550 patients Thurs: day, which is 200 less than the day be: fore. The decrease is probably duc to the fact that the privi lege of free transportation ove the railroads of any part of tho any part of the state expired at noon Thursday, and many of the pationta who were suffering from minor in juries and complaints left the hos- pitals in time to take advantage of the generosity of the railroads.

AID IN MONEY AND GOODS Cities and Towns Outdo Themselves in Liberality—Trainload After Trainload Dispatched to Stricken City. The Denver dailies are filled with special dispatches from all sections of Colorado telling of the lavish gifts of the people for the relief of San Francisco. The following appear in two days' issues: Denver.—A. J. Spengel of the Chamber of Commerce relief committee, stated Wednesday night that the committee had all the money needed to pay for the provisions which have been sent to San Francisco. If further funds are required for additional supplies another appeal will be made later. Greeley—Last night the town council appropriated $50 to the San Francisco relief fund and the following subscriptions were made to-day: Union Bank, $50, Weld County Savings Bank, $50; Greeley National Bank, $100, and the First National Bank $100. Kersey and Lucerne have each donated a carload of potatoes. The prospect is good that two more carloads will be donated by next Saturday. Red Cliff.—This place has contributed $108.50 toward the fund for the relief of the earthquake sufferers at San Francisco. Kinnikinnick Circle No. 453, Women of Woodcraft, voted $25 toward the fund. There are but forty members of the circle and the donation equals that of many of the wealthy and large lodges of the cities. The council appropriated $50. The rest was made up by citizens. Alamosa.—The citizens of Alamosa, the Elks, the Chamber of Commerce and the Knights of Pythias to-day raised $175 for the San Francisco earthquake sufferers. Boulder.—The Woodmen of the World to-day telegraphed $50 to San Francisco brethren. Pueblo.—Nearly a quarter of a million pounds of miscellaneous supplies were sent from this city in the four carloads forwarded to the earthquake sufferers in the past four days. Much of this material was of a kind to make high value in small compass and weight, and if Pueblo's contributions had been made up in bulky objects it would have required more than one trainload to carry them to their destination. Aspen.—Aspen rolled its California relief fund up to $1,435 to-day with several mines, including the great Smugler, yet to be heard from. Several Aspen people were among those who had exciting experiences in the earthquake disaster, but none suffered seriously. Golden.—At a very enthusiastic mossmeeting held here last evening arrangements were made to give substantial aid to the California destitute. One thousand three hundred dollars was collected to-day and nineteen boxes of clothing and a quantity of bedding were shipped. The Golden people who have friends and relatives in the stricken city have received word that all are safe. Carbondale. — Carbondale farmers and business men responded nobly. Minimum car potatoes leave to-night; another to-morrow night. Silverton.—The committee which was appointed by Mayor Melton to gather funds for the San Francisco sufferers began active work to-day and as a result $1,000 was sent to the Denver Chamber of Commerce to night to swell the relief fund. The city appropriated $100, the county a like sum, and the First National Bank $100. The remainder was made up of individual subscriptions. In addition, the Woodmen of the World gave $100. Silverton will raise fully $1,500 in cash, and this, after a winter of unprecedented misfortune. Montrose.—This city is responding liberally to the relief fund for the earthquake sufferers in California. A carload of vegetables is being furnished by farmers and will be ready for shipment within the next two days. A subscription paper is also being circulated among the residents and $600 has been raised, which sum will be increased to at least $1,000. Salida.—The City Council held a special meeting last night and acted upon a petition signed by fifty representative business men and appropriated $500 for the relief of the California earthquake sufferers. This is but the commencement of the work here for the San Francisco people. Salida.—A trainload of refugees from San Francisco passed through Salida this afternoon. They stopped here for dinner and about 250 people were furnished food by the city. These refugees are being transported from the coast to various parts of the country free of charge. Silverton.—Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Moran and Mrs. Mary J. Moran, mother of the latter, who were until lately residents of Denver and who have been reported by the Denver papers as possible victims of the San Francisco disaster, have written a relative here that al are safe, but undergoing great privations. Their home was burned and they are now camping out and short of food. Boulder.—The women of the Baptist Church in this city made fifty-six comforters yesterday and this morning, getting them ready to send off with the many other contributions in the second special carload of provisions which has left Boulder. The women started the quilts late Sunday afternoon, putting aside their religious scruples in the matter owing to the urgency of the cause. Idaho Springs.—The committee in in charge of the local contributions for the relief of the San Francisco sufferers, consisting of Acting Mayor Anderson and Aldermen Lamb and Hanson, has not completed its collections. A draft for $726.50, being the amount of the collections up to last night, was mailed to the News for the relief committee of the Denver Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. The committee expects to obtain several hundred dollars more. The fraternal organizations in this city will contribute liberally through the heads of the different orders, so that the total amount from this city will be in excess of $1,500. Kidney Trouble Causes Weak Backs and a Multitude of Pains and Aches. Col. R. S. Harrison, Deputy Marshal, 716 Common S., Lake Charles, La., says: "A kick from a horse first weakened my back and affected my kidneys. I became very bad, and had to go out on crutches. The doctors told me I had a case of ehronic rheumatism, but I could not believe them. A kick from a horse first weakened my back and affected my kidneys. I became very bad, and had to go out on crutches. The doctors told me I had a case of ehronic rheumatism, but I could not believe them, and finally began using Doan's kidney Pills for my kidneys.

RUNNING SORES ON LIMB3. Little Girl's Obstinate Case of Eczema —Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies a Household Standby." "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do, twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn., Oct 13, 1905." MOUNTAIN SHEEP. They Are Held Sacred by Laws of Colorado. State Game and Fish Commissioner "Jim" Woodard declares that the mountain sheep in Colorado is in the same class as the sacred bull of India. It must not be touched, says Woodard. If the animal is seen browsing upon the mountain side the gun of the hunter must not be pointed in its direction. The animal therefore may be called the "sacred sheep of Colorado." There are not many of them left, but under the protection of the law they are increasing every year. There is a band of them on the hills between Florence and Victor and Mr. Woodard has a photograph of a bunch grazing on a hillside a short distance from Florence. But for the passage of a law which heavily fines those who kill this animal the species would have been extinct long ago. A letter received in Mr. Woodard's office recently tells of the arrest and conviction of one Fred Klantzsky for killing a mountain sheep. Klantzsky was fined $300 and costs in the county court at Canon City last Saturday. The costs amounted to $140, and if the accused man does not settle he will have a long term to serve in the county jail. The state game and fish commissioner is authority for the statement that Klantzsky is an old offender, having been arrested before for killing mountain sheep. It seems that Klantzsky shoots the animals for profit and not for pleasure, and that on one occasion he received $50 for the head of one of the sheep. "Klantzsky is an old hermit," said Mr. Woodard yesterday, "and he sent out word that any game warden that got him would have to get him dead. Game Warden W. F. Givens got on his trail and followed him into an abandoned miner's tunnel, where he had taken refuge and gone to sleep. When the old man woke up he was looking into the muzzle of a .45 and he made little resistance, though he tried at first to reach for his gun."—Denver Republican.

It has, during the past week, cared for, fed and clothed train loads of sufferers as they passed through our city. Many Denverites who were in San Francisco at the time of the disaster have returned to the city and parents and friends are made happy in greeting them again. PUBLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS. Franchises are the subjects uppermost in the minds of Denverits at this time. Confusion and pandemonium will result if the franchises are not voted. The courts will be appealed to and the battle will be taken out of the hands of the people and forced into the courts to drag out a long and costly controversy. Denverites have had enough friction and taxpayers enough confusion and expense in settling the Rush bill and its complications. Voters ought not to repeat that mistake again very soon. The duty of the voter is to give his heartiest support to the franchises asked for by the Denver Gas and Electric Co., and the Denver City Tramway Co. The Negro cannot afford to oppose progress and the purpose of voting the franchises means a larger Denver and with the growth of the city comes also more business and greater opportunities for employment and more circulation of capital. Where all are benefitted the colored people are certain to get their share. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALAMITY. The Nation is beginning to recover from its delerium and amazement at the terrible calamity which has befallen the chief city of the West and on their recovery are beginning to analyze some of the lessons that such a catastrophe as the San Francisco horror teaches. First and foremost, is the spirit of sympathy and charity that is in the human heart to render aid and succor to those who are destitute and in distress. The charity and provisions and money poured into the stricken city from every part of the United States shows that sympathy is at no time dead but only a real necessity to call it forth. If needs move sympathies and effectually lift men out of sordidness and selfishness than the awful loss in San Francisco has its compensations. Secondly, some foolish souls dodge thought and excuse meanness by blaming God for every hard thing in life and take all the nice things to themselves; only thinking of God when mystery and suffering are to be explained. But the centuries of Gods dealing with the races establishes his justice and mercy cannot be ruthlessly shaken. It will do much for humanity if these now aroused sympathies may become active and not allowed to sleep in the future but minister to humanity needs everywhere and everyday and way. DUNBAR. The world and the race have been charitable to the memory of the sweet poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and only in last Sunday's Post appeared an article from the pen of F. W. White, a staff writer of that paper, eulogizing the late poet and his literature. Like Robert Burns the Scotch poet and Edgar Allen Poe, our own American singer of symathetic songs, weak in the virtues of personal restraint, Dunbar sahg for others even while suffering himself. His theme was universal sentiment and the world stopped to listen. Dunbar did not write for the race or for himself; else he would have been only the poet of a class, but he wrote of humanity and brotherhood, hence the world stopped to listen and applaud. The white press and critics have been as prolific in singing Dunbar praise as those of his own race, and they as well as ourselves feel his loss. The nature of the music is not less sweet and harmonious if it comes from the throat of a blue or red, yellow or black bird. It is not the color of the bird but the cadence and melody of the music that is soothing, inspiring and uplifting. Dunbar sang for the masses and the peoole heard him gladly and sorrowed when his voice was hushed in death and his songs heard no more among the living. What he has left is a legacy, not to the Negro race alone but to all those who love the beautiful and feel the aesthetic. Dunbar still lives in the souls he has cheered. DUNBAR (Continued from first page.) the hurly-burly of daily newspaperdom his delicate touch was scarcely recognized. What a wonderful man he was! Born of a slave father and a slave mother, reared in penury, with nothing but sorbid surroundings, was it not marvelous the position he secured? And yet the boy, you see, had an artistic soul, a poetic temperament, and under the most adverse conditions it developed strangely and strongly. During those days Dunbar talked to me about his hopes, his ambitions, his purposes. Like Stevenson, he was in delicate health and a little morbid, and he had a keen zest for literary labor and an unutterable longing for recognition in the world of letters. He felt he would not live many years, but believed that there was in him some great work that the entire world would recognize and applaud despite the handicap of his birth and race and color. At that time he had sent out some of his best creations, "Lyrics of Lowly Life," "The Heart of Happy Hollow," "The Strength of Gideon" and "Folks From Dixie." His "Poems of Cabin and Field," "Candle Lighten' Time" and "Lyrics of Love and Laughter" followed I remember his telling me that he thought his best book was his first, "The Sport of the Gods." I had not then read it, but promised to. Somehow, however, I never did, but I note in this month's (April) critical "Bookman" the statement made by a thoughtful reviewer that "Mr. Dunbar's truest claim to consideration" lies in this particular novel. "Here," says the review, "Mr. Dunbar out of the abundance of intimate knowledge, has told us things of which one can find no mention elsewhere in our literature. He has shown us the life of those Negroes who are not day laborers, who possess various degrees of education, and who may even be comparatively wealthy. Do we ever think of how such people live? They certainly do not live in the city slums. They are barred out from those places which even the poorer whites frequent. What is their mode of life and what are their amusements, distractions, surrounding and dissipations? Mr. Dunbar throws a whole flood of light on this really large section of our population. We see the high class Negro as he is to himself and to those of his own kind—in his home, in his own special theaters and places of enjoyment, in his clubs and churches—and we come to know all about his opportunities and temptations and what he does and thinks from day to day. It is a most curious revelation of a whole stratum of society of which all of us are densely ignorant and of whose very existence most of us are densely ignorant and of whose very existence most of us are wholly unaware. Our readers will thank us if they follow our advice and look up this exceptionally interesting and often rather startling book." Dunbar, as I say, was then extremely sensitive and quite—perhaps justly—vain of his position and literary gifts. He resented doing anything very well and not having it fully appreciaten. "I have written some exceptionally good matter for the newspapers at times," he said, "but no one even cared to know who the writer was or what brain conceived it." He seemed to think it a rank injustice to have good stuff merged in anonymity. And yet that happens every day in the newspaper world. The highest excellence of literary art is frequently in the composite whole of a high class daily. HUMBLE LOG CABIN THE BIRTHPLACE OF PRESIDENT BUCHANAN. Structure Still Standing at Mercersburg, Pa., in Which Was Born the Only Chief Executive Pennsylvania Has Given to the Nation. How few Pennsylvanians ever stop to reflect that the Keystone State has given birth to but one president of the United Sisters — James Buchanan. Franklin county claims the distinction of being the birthplace of this notable executive. He was born in a gorge in the mountains just off the turnpike which leads from Mercersburg to McConnellsburg on April 23, 1791. The house in which he first saw the light of day (considering that there were but two tiny windows to admit the light, the expression seems rather paradoxical) was a little log cabin. In late years this cabin has been moved to Mercersburg where it still stands, in Fayette street, and is now occupied by a colored family. Think of the policies for which Buchanan stood touching the negro race add the fact that negroes now live in the edifice of that president's nativity, and surely you have the irony of fate in one of its most startling twentieth century exemplifications! A few of the foundation stones are left to mark the place where the Buchanan cabin stood in the mountains, but most of them have been used for the foundation of a school house near by. At the time of his birth the turnpike had not been made, but there are still traces of a packer's path which ran on one side of the house, and of a wagon road on the other side. Stony Batter, as his birthplace is called, was one of the few places in those days where farmers from the western counties came with pack horses laden with the produce of their lands which they exchanged for the necessaries of life brought there from the city of Balti more. Near where the cabin stood flows a little stream called Trout Run and all around the mountain peaks tower aloft in surpassing grandeur and sublimity. These mountains were and are even at the present time infested with bears, panthers and wildcats, and there is a tradition that the solicitant mother of Buchanan was wont to tie around little Johnny's neck a bell so that she might know in the midst of her household cares that her boy was safe. In the year 1796 Mr. Buchanan removed with his family to the village of Mercersburg, where he sought a wider field for his business career—that of a country merchant. At this time young James was about 5 years of age, and here he attended school until the year 1807, when he was sent to Dickson college, Carlisle, from which institution he was graduated with honor in 1809. An amusing incident is told regarding his trip to Carlisle, which he made on horseback behind his father. As they left the town a neighbor woman ran out of her house crying: "If you take James to that bad school he will be ruined and come home good for nothing." Wifely Wit. Mr. McSosh—Great guns!

Commissioner James R. Garfield, at a dinner in Chicago, told a story of Adam Black, the founder of the well-known publishing house. "One day, a short time after Mr. Black had opened his book shop," he said, "a rough looking man entered stealthily, leaned over the counter winked and whispered in Mr. Black's ear: I've got some fine smuggled whisky that ye can have at a great bargain." "Go away,' said Mr. Black. 'I want nothing of the kind. You are a bad man. Go away." "But the smuggler must have doubled the sincerity of this repulse, for now, leaning over the counter again he whispered still more earnestly: 'I'll take prayer books for it.'"

Parrots seize objects with the left claw by preference. The lion strikes with the left claw, and Livingstone stated as his opinion that all animals are left-handed. The parrot has been found to make a reader use of the left claw for climbing than the right. Submarine Cables. There are 200,000 miles of submarine cables, enough to go eight times around the globe. Their cost was about $200,000,000. Their present value is $300,000,000. Deep-sea cables are a solid investment. The shortest cable is one-fourth mile in length; the longest is 15,000 miles. The total number is 1,700. Paint Is Best for the Walls—Ventilation Must Be Seen To—Furniture Suitably Low. Oil-painted walls are the ideal finish for the nursery or for children's rooms generally. They may be washed easily; the finish does not flake off and fill the air with impalpable dust, as do water colors under the same cirsumsatances, and the surface of the oil paint will defy the fingers of the little ones in their more mischievous moods when the desire seizes them to investigate the component parts of the family home. Where the purse will permit, the ornamenting of walls of the nursery may become a step of genuine importance. The ideal coloring of the walls for the nursery when plain is a soft olive green with bright tan ceiling. This is good for the eyes and the nerves and offers a lesson in harmonious colorings. Correct ventilation should be had from the top of the windows either by means of a wheel introduced into the upper window pane or by the construction of a transom six inches or more deep, which shall extend quite across the window, and which may be let down from the top, making a V-shaped opening, and not open from the top, making an inverted V. The latter would direct a current of air upon the heads of the occupants. The former would make an injurious draft impossible. If the windows are lower than four feet from the floor they should be provided with bars or strong wire lattice or screens. Window shields for the nursery are sold in many styles, both simple and costly. The best floor treatment is hard oil, with small rugs about that may be taken up and shaken each morning. A satisfactory crib is of enameled iron with no ornament. For tiny children it should be provided with a muslin valance adjusted around the top of the frame so as to protect the little sleeper within from all drafts. This should be of the simplest muslin that may be laundered every week or as often as the rest of the linen. A low built in seat, a foot or less high, is a convenience for the child and removes him from all temptation to sit long on the floor, where, if anywhere, drafts are to be felt. Unless the regularly made nursery furniture adapted to child stature is bought a small kitchen table may be enameled either white or blue. Old chairs in the same way may be shortened and painted. A cot may serve instead of built in seat, and should be cut low for juvenile convenience. A toy box should be constructed, and, if possible, a play cupboard in which play pinafores may be hung. And if the little one be taught to put away both toys and aprons at night the first lessons in neatness, which lead to the formation of helpful habits, will have been learned—Chicago Tribune. THE VALUE OF ORANGES. They Are Most Attractive for Table Decorations—Various Ways to Serve Them. Oranges are charming for decoration of the table, as well as for food. When placed upon the table whole, a few green leaves should be placed around them; the leaves need not, necessarily, be orange leaves, but other pretty, green leaves may be used, if the orange leaves are not to be had. When to be eaten at the table, there are several ways of handling them. Cutting them across and eating with a spoon has the drawback that the juice flies about disagreeably. By cutting a little circle around the core in the center this unpleasant feature may be counteracted. Another way is to cut them in eighths with the skin on, and sip the juice from these little portions. One method of preparing them for the table is as follows: Cut with a sharp knife a narrow girdle around the circumference of the orange, half way from the stem to the blossom end; remove all the rind except the narrow girdle; just over one of the divisions of the fruit out the rind band through with a knife. Then carefully separate the natural divisions of the orange, leaving each attached at its back to the strip of rind. It is very convenient and comfortable to eat oranges prepared in this way, as there is no trouble with the juice or peeling.—The Commoner. Nesselrode Pudding This is an extra troublesome pudding to make, but is very delicious. Line the bottom of an ice-cream mold with thin slices of sponge cake that have been soaked in sherry wine; put a layer of all sorts of candied and preserved fruits on this, cut up very fine; then move cake, and so on until the mold is nearly full. Make a custard of a quart of milk, sugar to taste and six egg yolks, with a cake of grated chocolate; add two tablespoonfuls dissolved gelatin boiling hot, strain and let cool; pour this over the cake and fruit in the mold, seal carefully and pack in ice. When turned out it makes a beautiful dish. Serve with whipped cream sweetened and flavored to taste. For Insomnia A very simple method of inducing sleep in cases of persistent insomnia and one that has succeeded where many drugs have failed, is—simply administer a moderate amount of liquid food before the patient goes to bed. This diverts the blood from the brain to the abdominal organs and takes away the cerebral excitement that precludes sleep. Molasses Candy Two cups of maple molasses, two teaspoonfuls of butter, one cup of maple sugar, one-half cup of water. Boil all together until done; be careful not to stir while cooking. When done, pull. --- CITY NEWS. Vote for Ralph W. Smith for member Board of Education. Mrs. Martha Wright returned Thursday to Trinidad. Mr. and Mrs. R.K. DePriest spent Sunday in Colorado Springs.

Little, the publisher, ex- congressman, twice president of the New York board of education, and now president of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, has started for his first vacation in half a century. Except for three years at the front during the civil war and for a short business trip to Europe, Mr. Little has never been away from his work for ten consecutive days. The holiday on which he now has started is planned for two months. Fifty years ago, when he was 13 years old, Mr. Little began a three years' apprenticeship at the printing trade. He received $25 for the first year, $25 for the second and $45 for the third, which nearly paid for his clothes. He lived with his employer above the office of the little country newspaper office and three years later went to New York. J. T. JOHNSON. Minnesota Grain Belt Beer. Also Western Agent for D.

Bellevue, Texas.—A tornado swept through this place Thursday night, destroying everything in its path and as a result practically the entire town is a mass of ruins, only three buildings now standing. At least fourteen persons are dead and a number injured. The tornado was followed by fire, which consumed the wreckage. The town of Bellevue consisted of over 200 houses. The dead are: R. L. Russell, wife and four children; Tom Carr, W. M. Bell, candidate for county treasurer of Clay county; Tom Blount; two members of the Gray family. Seriously injured: Two daughters of N. B. Smith of Bowie, Mrs. Gault, William Gray and seven members of his family, two of whom have since died; Mrs. McGraw. Conservative estimates places the loss at between $150,000 and $175,000. Dallas, Texas.—Stoneburg, a village in Montague county, eighty-five miles porthwest of here, was struck by a tornado Thursday evening, the number of dead being estimated to be twenty. Dispatches from Hico, 120 miles south of Bellevue, are that Hamilton, the county seat, was also devastated by the tornado and several lives lost. Two relief trains have gone from Henrietta (o Bellevue carrying doctors and nurses. EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION Proposal to Establish an, Outdoor Camp for it. San Francisco.—The National Educational convention was to have held its annual convention in San Francisco from July 4th and 9th. Plans are beinb considered to have the convention held in California in spite of the disaster that has overtaken San Francisco. It has been suggested that a model outdoor camp be established in the Piedmont hills back of Oakland and within easy distance of the University of California. With some such idea in view a telegram has been sent to Dr. Nathan C. Schaefer, president of the National Educational Association at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as follows: "In consultation with Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the University of California, we have decided to request you to kindly postpone any decision regarding the forty-fifth annual convention of the National Educational Association for a week or ten days and to communicate here before coming to any final decision. Rufus P. Jennings, Chairman General Committee." Another Shock Scares People. San Francisco.—At 10:40 Monday night an earthquake shock was felt throughout the city and momentarily created considerable alarm among the people, still unnerved and overwrought from their recent experience. No damage was caused, but in some few instances persons living in houses ran out badly frightened and called upon the sentries and guards to help carry out clothing and other effects. The soldiers reassured them that there was no danger and that any other time the shock would have caused little comment. Shortly after the slight tremble, an unconscious man was found on the sidewalk in front of a house at Golden Gate avenue and Buchanan street. He had evidently fallen or jumped from a window in his efforts to get out of the house when it was shaken. He was taken to St. Paul's emergency hospital in the Lutheran church at Gough and Eddy streets, where it is said his injuries are not serious. At O'Farrel and Leavenworth streets an unknown man, apparently demented, was found in the street in a dying condition, by the police. He died before he could be removed to a hospital. Appeal to School Children. Salt Lake City, Utah.—Eighteen million school children in the United States will be asked to contribute $1,000,000 to erect fifteen school buildings in San Francisco, if a suggestion made by the Utah Board of Education is carried out. A. C. Nelson, state superintendent, has wired Nathan C. Schaefer of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, president of the National Educational Association, and to National Commissioner of Education Smith at Washington, asking that a "national school day" be set aside and that on that day each school child in the United States be asked to contribute 5 or 10 cents to go to the rebuilding of San Francisco's schools. Texas Anti-Trust Suits. Austin, Tex.—As a result of an antitrust investigation made by Judge J. H. Lightfoot, assistant to the attorney general, twenty-one antitrust suits have been filed in the Twenty-sixth District Court by the state, involving penalties of $17,000,000. It is sought by the state to forfeit the charters and permits of the Fort Worth live stock exchange and all its members, the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company, Armour & Co. and Swift & Co. These corporations are charged with maintaining monopoly and conspiracy in restraint of trade. Find Hidden Treasure. Denver.—A special to the Republican from Fairplay Friday says: Messrs. Shaw* and Robbins, prospectors, discovered a hole in the ground midway between this place and Horseshoe yesterday, and found therein a tin can containing several thousand dollars in gold, paper and dust. It is supposed to have been the money of the Reynolds coach robbers secured in the early '60s and which they buried. The prospectors have started for Deer creek, as it is understood that money was buried in that neighborhood about the same time. Fuel Company's Canal Pueblo, Colo.-On Thursday there was recorded a deed to a strip of land across the property of the Dupont Powder Company for a right-of-way for the new Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's canal. This completes the right-of-way for the fuel company's canal from near Florence to the lakes south of the city. ATTACKED THE HEART Awful Neuralgia Case Cured to Stay Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Neuralgia in any form is painful but when it attacks the heart it is frequently fatal. Complicated with indigestion of a form that affected the vital organ it threatened serious consequences in an instance just reported. The case is that of Mr. F. L. Graves, of Pleasanthill, La., who tells of his trouble and cure as follows: "I traveled considerably, was exposed to all kinds of weather and was irregular in my sleeping and eating. I suppose this was the cause of my sickness, at any rate, in May, 1935. I had got so bad that I was compelled to quit work and take to my bed. I had a good doctor and took his medicine faithfully but grew worse. I gave up hope of getting better and my neighbors thought I was surely going to die. "I had smothering spells that it is awful to recall. My heart fluttered and then seemed to cease beating. I could not lie on my left side at all. My hands and feet swelled and so did my face. After reading about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a newspaper I decided to try them and they suited my case exactly. Before long I could see an improvement and after taking a few boxes I was entirely cured. I am glad to make this statement and wish it could cause every sufferer to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not simply deaden pain; they cure the trouble which causes the pain. They are guaranteed to contain no narcotic, stimulant or opiate. Those who take them run no danger of forming any drug habit. They act directly on the blood and it is only through the blood that any medicine can reach the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drummers or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenected, N.Y. If a man lives beyond his income, the outcome is sure to be unsatisfactory. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup: For children toothing, softens the gums, reduces, or nummies, allays pain, cures wind colic.

The craze for producing diminutive fowls has led the fancier outside the realms of mere reproduction in miniature of the larger types, says Country Life in America. It has resulted in the actual creation of bantam types which are individual in character—that to say, they do not represent any larger type. These are called variety bantams. The ideals in these cases are purely arbitrary, and are simply modeled according to one's ideas of beauty. Each type is a law unto itself. The peculiar characteristics of the different individuals, or even nations, may thus be carried into their fancy poultry. Perhaps no more striking illustration of this idea could be cited than the Japanese bantams. What we have come to understand as Japanese art—clear-cut in its color combinations—we see carried out in remarkably characteristic style in these birds. They are strikingly distinct from any other group. One of the most noticeable characteristics, giving an immediate feeling of quaintness, is the extreme shortness of the legs. A first-class specimen, indeed, should not show any limb whatever when walking, a delusion which is greatly helped by the profusion of feather with which the bird is endowed. The tail is very largely developed, the feathers standing erect as high as the head or higher and often touching the back of the neck. The wings are very large, reaching right down to the ground, helping materially to convey the idea of a legless bird. A BUSY WOMAN Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed. An energetic young woman living just outside of New York, writes: "I am at present doing all the housework of a dairy farm, caring for 2 children, a vegetable and flower garden, a large number of fowls, besides managing an extensive exchange business through the mails and pursuing my regular avocation as a writer for several newspapers and magazines (designing fancy work for the latter) and all the energy and ability to do this I owe to Grape-Nuts food. "It was not always so, and a year ago when the shock of my nursing baby's death utterly prostrated me and deranged my stomach and nerves so that I could not assimilate as much as a mouthful of solid food, and was in even worse condition mentally, he would have been a rash prophet who would have predicted that it ever would do so. "Prior to this great grief I had suffered for years with impaired digestion, insomnia, agonizing cramps in the stomach, pain in the side, constipation, and other bowel derangements, all these were familiar to my daily life. Medicines gave me no relief—nothing did, until a few months ago, at a friend's suggestion, I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and subsequently gave up coffee entirely and adopted Postum Food Coffee at all my meals. "To-day I am free from all the troubles I have enumerated. My digestion is simply perfect, I assimilate my food without the least distress, enjoy sweet, restful sleep, and have a buoyant feeling of pleasure in my varied duties. In fact, I am a new woman, entirely made over, and I repeat, I owe it all to Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

We have in our files many grateful letters from women who have suffered with the symptoms named above. Lack of space prevents our giving more than one testimonial here.

America's total drink bill, for all kinds of stimulating beverages, including tea and coffee, is one-fourth the total estimated production of the cotton, wheat, corn, hay and tobacco crops and every other product of farms. It amounts to one-eighth of the nation's total expenditure for food. Estimates of the cost of stimulating beverages, as published by the American grocer, show that since 1901 the cost has risen from $1,273,212,386 to $1,548,708,307 in 1905, a gain of $275,495,921, or 21 3-5 per cent. The population for the same period advanced from 77,647,000 to 83,143,000, an addition of 5,496,000, or 6½ per cent. Lace Making in France. A few years ago the art of making lace by hand was fast dying out in France. In 1903 the French government undertook to build up the industry, and now the number of girls and women making lace by the old hand process is estimated at no less than 135,000. Electric Cars in Peru. Lima, the historic capital of Peru, is to have a system of electric street railroads operated by power obtained from falls in the Rimac river, thirty miles from the city. The cars will be American, and so will the electric machinery and the track. "Why is it," queried the American globe trotter, "that our American girls are so much more attractive to foreigners with titles than you English girls?" "I don't know," snapped the English beauty, "unless it's because they have more money and less sense." COLORADO NEWS ITEMS A meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger Association will be held at Colorado Springs in July. The Chinese in Denver raised $203.50 to be sent to the aid of their suffering countrymen in San Francisco.

The contract has been let to a Pueblo firm and requires that the work be completed by November 1st. The bridge will be 125 feet in length and fifty feet in width. It connects the city with the railroad station and shops. The new union depot at Grand Junction, erected at a cost of $60,000, was opened April 17th by Division Superintendent Chonate. The first train in was a narrow gauge passenger from Salida. The narrow gauge being the oldest road in the valley, the railroad officials decided that it had the right to first enter the new depot. Every one of the eighteen camps, Woodmen of the World, in Denver, was represented at a meeting of consul commanders and clerks held Friday night.

WORKINGWOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting Statements by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Frankie Orser Miss Pearl Ackers Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall. All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer allite from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lasitude. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Oser, of 14 Warrenton Street. Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities. My back ache; I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches. STOP PAYING RENT. We will buy a $1,000 on $5,000 home. You pay only $7.50 PER MONTH on each $1,000 with 5 PER month.

I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health." Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the lumen; was very nervous and irritable, and my trouble grew worse every month. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bearing-down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well. You can tell the story of your sufferings to a woman, and receive helpful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years she has, under her direction and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. OF LATEST MODE There are yokes on everything, short jokes and yokes long enough to meet the corselet skirt; but, one way or another, blouse and even outside wrap must be cut up by gimp or the simulation thereof. The fancy waist here pictured seems to us most attractive, graceful and latest mode. All-over lace is used for the upper part, the lower portion is of soft messaline, a shade darker than the light-weight cloth skirt with which worn. The sleeves come well above the elbow and a band of trimming encircles the arm, giving a full puff at the shoulder. The collar is quite high, a point to note with this new style of blouse. In the street gown suggested, the princess coat is so cut up by trimming as to give the appearance of a bolero. The sleeves are very short, disclosing a puff of lingerie between coat cuff and long glove. Speaking of short sleeves for the street, have you seen the economical silk wristlet an enterprising dealer has put forth? It is merely a long glove without covering for the hands, wrinkles its way from elbow to wrist, where it is met by the real glove. One pair will outwear many pairs of gloves and one need not feel so extravagant about having all one's sleeves abbreviated. Flat braid trimming is very much the thing for the tailored gown, for black, white or colored gown. So far we have seen no white serges on the street, but many very fetching ones have been made up for summer days. White will continue to be immensely popular, and a white wool or mohair frock is a fine thing to have in one's summer wardrobe; there are so many cool pleasant days when one wants to look summery and yet not blue-nosed, and such a frock as this answers the bill exactly. Fine tucks look neat and trim and we find them employed a great deal on late frocks, much used for fitting in at the waist line bodice and princess. It takes an artist to do this Suitable for Mourning Wear In England the wearing of mourning is much more the rule than on this side; we would say unrelieved mourning is rather the exception here. Of late at the southern resorts where people are wont to flock during the days of early spring, during the impossible days of the northern spring, there were noticeable all-white mourning costumes. These costumes were very plain, severely tailored morning dresses and simply trimmed crepe de chine in the evening. The latter were relieved only by tucks or folds of self-material. This fashion of donning white on sultry days is a very sensible Mary L. L. one, black stuffs not only look hot and uncomfortable, but are so to a markedly unhealthful degree. The gown here illustrated is of black velling with trimmings of crape. The model is one of the modified princess robes and exceptionally good. The chemisette is of net crepe folds on the corsage give a curve where otherwise there might be severity of appearance, and the robe is bordered by a band of crape; the rosettes on the bodice are made of this material, and down either side of the front panel are closely clustered crape covered buttons. This last detail may be omitted if considered too fussy. Sometimes puffs of chiffon are used sparingly in trimming a mourning dress, and dull black beads are worn as neckaces. Materials favored for mourning are volle, velling, pongee and a silk that is something between china A MOURNING GOWN. well, but the result is most attractive when the skilled one has finished her work. How it is done we do not pretend to know, there are such cunningly hidden gores which come to a mere nothing at the waist and flare out most bouffant below. The designers of the 1906 spring gowns have certainly shown much cleverness. The loveliest flesh tones are seen in millinery and gown materials, many variations played on creamy pinks and pinky creams. The so-called "banana" is something much more charming than one would think from the sound, and all the tans are in highest favor, bid fair to rout the much exploited grays of earlier prophecy. Biscuit color we have had with us several years, but the biscuit-colored cloth is as good this year as when first brought forward. Fashion may be capricious often, but she is not wholly flickle, when she finds a good thing holds on to it longer than given credit for. A hat shining splendid from a show window the other day was a lustrous horsehair whose color was neither yellow nor pink, but a mingling of both. The long plume was decidedly straw colored, the whole a very beautiful combination. This would be effective either as a suit hat or to wear with a white lace gown. With black it might prove too much of a contrast. It is surprising how much velvet is to be used this spring and summer. Short coats and boleros are to be made of it, and it is employed extensively for trimming. The idea appeals to us, velvet is so generally becoming and such a beautiful fabric in itself. Of light weight, lined with thinnest silk, it need not be so very warm; the little velvet coat may well have place in the summer outfit. The silk glove is fair rival to the kid as accompaniment to the elbow sleeve, and the shops are displaying long silk gloves in about every conceivable shade. They are most attractive and mold themselves to the arm so prettily. silk and pongee. White crepe de china we have spoken of for the best gown, and of the trim white wash suits. Black pongee makes cool and neat little utility dresses for summer. Ribbons are either taffeta or grosgrain, the plainest of belting is employed. Nowadays a waterproof crape is to be had and one that does not get limp and bedraggled after a little use. Concerning hats, mourning millinery is not so harsh as formerly, much soft tulle and maline are brought into play, and coarse nets used with good effect. Trim toques are made of draped crape, whose only trimming is rosettes of the material. If a hat that will afford some protection is desired, the popular French sailor shape is selected and very simply trimmed with quill and rosette. Most comfortably cool hats are of maline, the trimming perhaps the same as the foundation of the hat, and always kept down to simplicity. Some short sleeves are seen on mourning dresses, but usually the three-quarter length is preferred. WOMAN WHO FINDS FLATS Remunerative Occupation of an Enterprising Resident of New York. One of the busiest women in the city today is a professional flat finder, says the New York Sun. While she is an all the year around flat hunter, just now her entire attention is devoted to hunting up quarters for women living in the suburbs or even so far away as Chicago who want to enjoy the delights of winter in New York. "You know yourself," said the flat hunter in explaining the need of her existence, "how the glowing descriptions of agents often turn out. "Bright, sunny rooms turn out to be dark, gloomy cells, and stylish furniture a rickety mess that you wouldn't use in your kitchen. With my knowledge of localities and agents I am able to secure some charming quarters for comparatively small commissions." The Witness—Have I? I'm a married man.—Tit-Bits. Not Funny. "No, he's not a gambler; he merely plays poker for fun, and always loses." "Gee, I can't see any fun in that."—Houston Post A. Daily Experience S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

UNCLE SAM'S WASTE BASKET Paper Refuse of the Government Departments Is an Item of Economy is said to consist in the care of trifles, and of this the waste paper department of the United States government's stationery office affords an excellent example. An official of this department while in New York recently gave an interesting account of the system. No less than $20,000 is saved annually by the government waste paper basket," he said. "It was not so very long ago that the waste paper of the government offices was an unrecognized perquisite of the heads of departments and many of the minor officials, with the result that no small quantity of good stationery was thrown away and in some cases large amounts of government property were systematically misappropriated. Not only was this the case, but papers of an important and confidential character found their way into the hands of outsiders, sometimes with very unpleasant consequences. "A visit to the waste paper department would forecibly illustrate to you the enormous amount of correspondence and clerical work with which the various government offices have to deal. "To the department—it is really a large warehouse—come 3,000 tons of waste paper every year, the average day's receipts varying from 10 to 20 tons. How vast is this amount will be better realized from the fact that if a single week's waste paper from the government offices was thrown into Washington square it would come pretty near burying the Washington monument. Vast as the present quantity is, it is steadily increasing at the rate of about 20 tons every year. "The paper received is of the most miscellaneous character, consisting of old letters, state documents, printed matter, old account books, and the like. On receipt it is at once handed over to the sorters, who classify it under 12 heads and pack it separately in large sacks. The sacks are then shipped to a pulp mill. Confidential documents receive careful and effectual treatment. They are thoroughly sliced up by a cutting machine. When papers of an especially secret character are dealt with the middle section of each pile is taken out and placed in a separate receptacle from the rest. The cut fragments are then placed in a sealed sack, and are conveyed in charge of an officer to the pulp mill, and is there reduced to pulp under his eye. Another section of the waste paper department contains the used ribbon from the Morse telegraphic instruments. This pours in at the rate of about fifteen hundredweight per week, measuring approximately 900 miles." WASHINGTON SOCIETY. Its Principal Charm Is Its Truly Cosmopolitan Character, Says This Authority. Washington is a peculiar city. It has a distinct physiognomy of its own. It is unlike any other town in the union, and is continually in the eye of the public. The peculiarities of the administration may be criticised, notwithstanding it is dear to all of us, says the Metropolitan Magazine. Pennsylvania avenue, by sheer force of its many historical associations, keeps alive in us an appreciation of the capitol. The principal charm of it is perhaps its truly cosmopolitan character. Of course New York lays claim to the same distinction. But cosmopolitanism in New York is of a different kind. The term would only apply to its middle class and its large laboring contingency. Society is rather exclusive in that respect. Only a few titled foreigners, with the best of introductions, can hope to gain admittance. In Washington, on the other hand, society itself is cosmopolitan. The members of the foreign embassies, the army and navy officers, the representatives of the house, and the members of the senate, all nomads by inclination as well as by profession, make it so. Washington is the only city in the world where one may have the keen-witted daughter of a Russian diplomat, the wife of a Chinese minister in her quaint, flower-starred costume, and the ambassadress of some South American republic, at the same table. Routed Longworth. Representative Longworth visited the senate the other day. Fearing the ordeal of congratulations likely to occur he came in very quietly and was well within the chamber before he was seen. Senator Kean was quick to offer his congratulations and after him came a dozen or more senators. Longworth got red under the volley of remarks that fell upon him. Just as the incident was at the height of its interest the door opened again and in came Prince Cupid, of Hawaii. "Longworth is here," said Kean, "and Cupid came also." The next moment the young son-in-law of the president was making a hasty flight back toward the south end of the capitol. Uncle's Books.
