"Welfare of the Blacks Lies with the Whites," says M. A Majors, M. D. Negro Should be Given Honorable Mention in History. VOL. XII. "Welfare of the Blacks Lies w Majors, Negro Should be Give in H It is not the Negro that is on trial before the civilized world, but it is the white race. It may be called the "white man's burden" or the Negro's failure,"or whatever a thinking people may choose to name it, it is pure and simple and simple, spun out of the whole cloth, "The white man's trial." It is io be determined if by the conditions, the American Negro as a race of people, sustain to the white population of the country, the white race is honorable, just and humane in all its dealings to a less fortunate element of humanity. The thinking, cultivated Negro does not accept the theory that a problem is to be solved or that restrictions are to be overcome, only as the virtues of civilization are applied, actuating kind hearts, by the white race. The spirit to rise embodies the noblest fibres of the Negroe's being, and it is not his obligation or responsibility that he must struggle against the odds to overcome them as he has no stock in it. His willingness to inculcate the highest knowledge is proof that he is a worthy factor in the equation of human endeavor. Nor is his ardor dampened by the negative forces constantly at work piling up huge obstructions in this latter day struggle. The thinking Negro is not displaying dogmatism, and charging it up to racial prejudices; he rather sees it in the spirit, "They think they are right, but they will learn better, when they can accept the truth in all things." It is a real pity to see the rediculous conduct of some very eniightened people towards these crude children of darker skin. Occasionally unguarded, one bumps into a black Froebel or Huxley, and then he settles down temporarily (curse the thought) to look upon that race as from the same high place, of other races. It is only fair that we must remember that there are elements in every race, and especially in the white race that do not, nor can in any sense of decency compare with individuals of the Negro race whom we see among us daily. The white man is at the bar of judgment to give account of the talent allotted to him, and the spirit of Christian graces are constantly at war with the grosser elements of the Caucasian nature. Sometimes the market of these kindly graces fluxuate, and occasionally the temptation of domination writhes in the blood, and all the sting of brutal lust stimulate to ferocity the neglected, and uncivilized angels of the white man's spirit. The Negro is fairer to the Anglo-Saxon than the Anglo-Saxon is to the Negro. How do we account for that? The Negro is a child of the tropics, and his blood is warmer. They do not charge ugliness and deviltry to all the white race, simply because they chance to be personally acquainted with lynchers, outlaws and evil doers, for whom the law has no terror and whom, unhampered by law, do as they please, marauding women and tyrannizing their husbands and brothers ad libitum. The puritans reached this goodly land at a time when conquest and triumph was fed into the hearts of babes through the nursing mother. It was not in the spirit of Knight Errantry, but rather the challenge to crude children of the forest. It seemed to say: "They shall take who have the power, and they shall keep who can." This dominant note has sounded throughout Christendom, it is the strong clarion note of civilization- It would not be altogether fair to say that the Negro had an easy time, while the white race suffered the hardships of the first epochs of American colonization. The Pilgrims were less fortunate in their colonies than the Africans in or near Jamestown, who were brought over as slaves to work and feed the colonists. The ragged winters of New England played havoc with the poor-clad settlers, while starvation ranked the breast of those around Jamestown in a more salubrious climate. Wouldn't it be truthful to say in history that Negro slaves saved these colonists from starvation? The rigors of winter and the hospitality of the Indians were less troublesome than ever presn't stomachs, which gnawed ii seemed to the marrow' and cried for its daily meal. Wouldn't it be only fair and just to give the Afro-American an honorable mention in history? It would gladden the hearts of his present-day descendants, and further, it would facilitate the establishing and enshrining of truth. "The white man's trial" is the plague of his soul, and it is a constant warfare between his inner self to keep out of trouble, and to restrain a clear bill of respectability. Will he, in regard to loyalty and responsibility, treat other races less favored by the epochs of racial advancement than his race. Has he shown a marked spirit to do this? I think he has, and I believe it is the very evidence of his crown. There is every mark of Godly endorsement, portrayed along every pathway trodden by the intrepid, fearless white man. Much of the tyranny and obstacle enlightening the Afro-American at this present time is misdirected, but it comes from the conditions that portray drama, tragedies and the like in which the lesser race was only the subservient tool, subjected to the will of an owner, who not only had a dollar interest in them, but a bloodrelation to curse them. * * * The mantle of charity needs a very wide scope in the application and in its blessed sweep cover the sin and dross of all Christendom. The Negro is not an infidel, athaeist, anarchist, socialist, train robber, bank robber, defaulter, counterfiter, or check forger. He has never plotted to kill a king or president of his realm. He is not guilty as often as he is condemned and punished. An ignorant personnel of our jury system degrades more Negroes to the convict system of the South, than all the other forces together. Guilt does not have to be established if it is a Negro being tried. It is not to be regarded that the prejudices at the present time are to long continue, the white race is swallowing the allopathic dose of drastic consciousness to the worthwhile conditions of the progressive Negro, and as to the effect of his growing fitness for a complete bill human rights. The startling thing about the status of the Negro is that he has made himself so very fit for the noblest rights ever given to man. It is becoming quite the case that men and women who have in the years of the races, greatest struggle passed for white, are making voluntary acknowledgements of their kinship. What does this all mean? It means that not only are they proud to identify themselves with their mothers, race, but that the years are not far distant when people will be glad to know that such honorable blood as that of Douglass, and L'Ouverture flows in their veins. The white man's honor is in the balance, the most sacred American principle, upon which the basic principles of our constitutional form of government rests, and pledge in the preamble, the compact of States and the interchanges of doctrinal truths, which stand forth in the promise of equality to nations yet unborn. He has wavered, he has hesitated long; he has shut his eyes and ears to the harsh treatment and pitiful wail of the crushed and helpless Negro; he has often gone out of his way to trample his honor in the dust, to traduce the goodness of his own ill-fated and misdirected blood in bedarkened concealment. He is praying now that the mantle of charity shall be delicately and lightly thrown over the multiplying city of his injurious sins. He is learning to say in his eloquence that the Negro is more greetly sinned against than sinning, and courts of justice and equity are taking hold of the henious blood-thirsty fiends of murderous lust, and snatching off their masks. Yes, the white man has the great burden of responsibility. He is on trial. Is he guilty? Yes. Will the Judge Time acquit him—No. He will have to suffer the penalty of the law. Colored Elk arrested for wearing Pin. New York, April 19.—Last Thursday O. R. Johnson, an Afro-American, was arrested for wearing on the lapel of his coat an emblem of the Order of Elks. The arrest was made under sections 674.A of the Penal Code, otherwise known as the Grattan bill, which makes it a misdemeanor for any unauthorized person to wear the insignia of an order which has had ten years' standing in the State. Johnson claimed that he had a right to wear the pin, as he was an Elk of good standing in an Afro-American lodge. But white Elks claim that there are no Afro-American Elks at all, and that the Afro-American Order of Improved Elks is spurious. The result of the case is awaited with interest. The Grattan bill was introduced by Assemblyman William J. Grattan of Chohes and was aimed at the Colored Elks. They, however made no effort to fight it before it was adopted. Wonderful Negro Physican. Dr. Geo. C. Hall, one of Chicago's most eminent physicians, who was invited to Mobile, Ala., to be guest of the Alabama Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Congress, has elicited much praise, not only from the Congress but from the white press of that section, as well. "The Daily Picayune," of New Orleans calls him "one of the most noted Negro surgeons of America." "The Mobile Register." referring to the clinic conducted by Dr. Hall at Dr. T. N. Harris' infirmary, which is the only one in Mobile, colored or white, said: 'This attracted much attention among the physicians as Dr. Hall is considered one of the most skilled surgeons in America.' The congress was favorably impressed by the laparotimous and skin grafters operations performed by Drs. Hall and Mercer of Chicago, that they at once instituted an organization for the establishment of a hospital, with the understanding that Dr. Hall would call two or three times each year to perform the major part of the operations. Drs. Hall and Mercer have nothing but words of praise for the professional men of the south, and grow eloquent when speaking of the hospitality of the people. Neither is Miss Hoffman stingy with her praises and compliments. They were "wined and dined" so sumptuously by the Creole Club and the Bachelors' Club that they fain would turn their faces towards Chicago. Dr. Hall went from Mobile to Decatur, Ala., where he will perform operations on both white and colored at the infirmary of Dr. H. E. Sterrs. The doctor also operated upon Dr. Anna B. Marsh the only colored woman physician in Normal Industrial School. He also operated on six other minor cases without a death or mishap, and was elected honorary member of the Alabama State Medical Association, being also consulting surgeon of Cottage Home Infirmary, institution presided over by Willis E. Sterrs, M. D., at Decatur, Ala. Western Opinion. NO. 3 RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources.

T O T H E SHENANDOAH VALLEY Will Open Rich Mining and Agricultural Districts in Southwestern Colorado—Work to Begin Soon. Denver.—A Republican special from Grand Junction Wednesday night says: The largest business transaction that has occurred in western Colorado in a long time was closed here tonight by the organization of the Colorado & Southwestern railroad, which it is said, will be constructed immediately by the citizens of Grand Junction and outside capital, from this city to a point in the Shenandoah valley, 110 miles from here. D. C. Willoughby of London, England, arrived yesterday, with J. H. Hinkin of Chicago and James Nix and A. E. Guy of Norwood, Colorado. The party was met by a delegation from the chamber of commerce. A meeting of that body was held last night and the project was fully discussed, the result being that to-day three meetings were held and to-night another one, at which the deal was closed. The capital stock of the new railroad company is $1,500,000, with a bond issue of $2,000,000, making a total capitalization of $3,500,000, $450,000 of which was taken by the chamber of commerce and citizens of Grand Junction. The proposed road will be standard gauge and will lead through one of the richest mining regions of the state. It will pass through the Unweepen canon to the La Sal mountains and on to the Sinbad and Paradox valleys, then to the great Shenandoah valley, where there are 250,000 acres of agricultural land. The projectors announce that the road will be completed in sixteen months, and that in twelve months the mines of the La Sal mountains will be shipping ore over the proposed road. Grand Junction has been full of excitement to-day over the proposed new railroad, which it is felt will make this city the most important railroad center in western Colorado. One of the prominent residents of this city at the meeting to-night started the ball rolling by subscribing for $199,000 worth of stock. The bankers and professional men of this city have been in attendance upon the meetings today and are all stockholders in the new railroad. Mr. Willoughby stated to night that a corps of engineers is already at work on the survey and that the contract for the first ten miles of the road had been awarded. Work will also begin at this end and will be pushed as fast as possible. Mr. Willoughby left to night on his way to London to float a portion of the bonds. CONDITIONS IMPROVED. Refugees Being Made Comfortable in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco.—An investigation made Wednesday demonstrated that the fear that San Francisco) will suffer a period of hard times as an aftermath of the disaster is unfounded. Careful estimates made by authorities competent to speak show that within the next year there will be over $200,000,000 available for the rehabilitation of San Francisco. The two weeks that have elapsed since the day of the earthquake have witnessed a transformation from chaos to regular order. The unburned section has been nearly restored to its normal condition, and when housewives are permitted to return to their kitchens to cook, after the required inspection of chimneys, the streets will have their old-time appearance. Conditions in the military district that includes Golden Gate park were to-day reported as greatly improved. Refugees in the park have been so comfortable that they have extended invitations to friends camped in other portions of the city, and the continuation of this practice will facilitate the work of concentration now in progress. While the official census by army officers has not yet been completed it is estimated that the Fifth Military district contains upward of 30,000 people, a great many of whom are homeless. Of these the greater number are now housed in the wooden structures, but all tents have been equipped with flooring and the officers report no person exposed to the elements except by choice. Senator Clark to Retire Butte, Mont.—In ar authorized statement Senator W. A. Clarke declares he will not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate. Good Word for California. Denver.—In an effort to stop the exodus from California, which followed the earthquake, and to reassure eastern investors of the stable condition of that state, Secretary Herbert Burdett of the Los Angeles realty board has written letters to the secretaries of the real estate exchanges in various cities throughout the country, saying that practically no damage was done by the earthquake itself. Secretary John S. Flower of the Denver Real Estate Exchange received a letter from the Los Angeles board yesterday, announcing that no damage whatsoever had been done in Los Angeles by the earthquake, and claiming that all damage done in San Francisco, or the most of it, was due to fire. He also claims that scarcely any of the larger and more modern buildings in San Francisco were injured by the quake, also that all the steel structures can be easily repaired. Judge John R. McFleid denied the motion for a peremptory writ of mandamus to J. N. Sandoval, former assessor of Bernallillo county, to compel Territorial Auditor W. G. Sargent to draw a warrant for $1,600 for fees, which should have been paid Sandoval, instead of to Assessor G. E. Abright, who held the office of assessor wrongfully. M. H. H.

Goremykin, former minister of the interior. The official announcement of the change in the cabinet will be made. The new premier comes from a noble but not prominent family of Novgorod province, where his estates are situated. They are especially noted for the excellence of their cows and their dairy products, which are sent to St. Petersburg. In fact, M. Goremykin practically supplies the capital with milk. M. Goremykin's elevation to the premiership created amazement. He is not only regarded as a reactionary, but the general opinion is that he is not equal to the task of facing the coming crisis. M. Goremykin is considered a mediocre man, of insignificant appearance as well as capacities. He wears side whiskers and looks like an English butler. While for some time he has been called a liberal, it was only in contrast with such men as Von Plehve and M. Sipiagume, the late interior minister. He began his career in the ministry of justice, becoming assistant minister, from which post he was called in 1895 as a protege of the dowager emperor, to become minister of the interior. The student troubles, the fore-runners of the recent revolution, were then just beginning and M. Goremykin lacked the energy necessary to end them. M. Goremykin, the new premier, was exposed by Witte in 1898, and since then has been the retiring minister's unrelenting enemy. At that time the former minister of the interior made a report to the Emperor to the effect that the stories of famine and suffering which were said to exist in certain provinces were untrue. Witte, who was then minister of finance, thereupon produced documents to prove that the conditions in the interior were as they had been represented to be. When the Emperor confronted M. Goremykin with this, he is said to have fallen on his knees before the Emperor, to have wept and to have begged for forgiveness. The minister was so overcome that the Emperor himself brought him a glass of water. Later M. Goremykin took part in the Von Plehve cabal which drove Witte from the ministry of finance in 1903. Goremykin was minister of the interior from 1895 to 1899, when M. Sliplagume succeeded him, and has taken a prominent part in Russian political life, especially the revolutionary period of the last few years. His administration as minister of the interior was not marked by harshness and his name has never been mentioned as one of the likely victims of the terrorists, who assassinated two of his immediate predecessors. He was supplanted in 1899 by M. Sliplagume. Last year, when Interior Minister Durnovo legislated out of existence the rural commission of which Witte was president, and which had been investigating the agrarian question for several years, M. Goremykin was appointed head of the agricultural commission which supplanted it. When he became premier, Witte retaliated on by M. Goremykin by dissolving the agricultural commission. Count Witte, unquestionably the biggest man in public life here, goes out unwept and unsung and amid the rejoicing of the reactionaries, who hate the liberals, and who distrust him. Yet even to-day it is predicted that when the next great crisis comes the Emperor will be forced to summon Witte from his retirement. Editorial Convention. Indianapolis, Ind.—Indianapolis is at present preparing to receive the delegates to the twenty-first convention of the National Editorial Association, which is to meet here June 12th to 15th. Having a national reputation as a "convention city" by virtue of the hundreds of conventions which have assembled here, Indianapolis is well prepared to receive and entertain the newspaper men from all parts of the United States. She will give them every welcome and it will be her especial aim that the association suffer no regrets in its choice of a convention city for 1906. Colorado Appropriations. Washington.—The agricultural appropriation bill passed by the House Wednesday carries several items of direct benefit to Colorado, all of which were inserted in the bill at the request of Representative Brooks. The most important item is an appropriation of $25,000 for experiments in dry farming. This item was not stricken out of the bill yesterday, though the House did vote down an amendment proposed by Mr. Martin to increase the appropriation to $50,000. The bill also appropriates $4,000 to continue the investigation of poisonous plants, particularly the loco weed; $25,000 for horse breeding and $8,000 for sugar beet seed investigations and experiments. Conventions at Denver. Denver.—Among the more immediate of the many conventions to be held in Denver this summer will be that of the Colorado Implement Dealers' Association at the Albany hotel May 17th. The association is composed of dealers in agricultural and other machinery in nearly all the towns of important in the state, and it is expected that a crowd of something like 200 people will attend the convention. The Knights and Ladies of Security, a fraternal insurance Society, will hold its national convention here June 11th to June 15th, also at the Albany. The estimated attendance will be 600. Panic in Wall Street: New York.—Not since the Northern Pacific panic of May 9, 1901, has there been such a spectacular decline in prices on the stock exchange as there was Wednesday. Heavy selling almost regardless of the prices offered, began with the opening of the market, and from that time till near the close the tone generally was weak. The day's trading was extremely heavy, rising to the total of 2,445,000 shares. Nearly 700,000 shares of stocks changed hands in the first hour of trading. There are eighty divorce cases on the District Court docket at Pueblo. The Twin Lakes people think they see good prospects of the building of an electric line from Leadville to the lakes.

Hurst of the naval hospital corps announces that May 1st a permanent recruiting station will be established by the Navy Department at Pueblo. The works of the American Production Company at Buena Vista are busy turning out rubber from the rubber plant on a successful commercial scale. The San Francisco relief committee at Cripple Creek sent $4,480 in five-dollar gold pieces to the stricken city in one installment by express—and then went on raising more money. Mrs. Laura A. Lane of Florence, who was thought to have perished in the San Francisco earthquake and fire, writes that she had a narrow escape from death and lost all her household effects. The Union Pacific gasoline motor car between Denver and Greeley has been taken off. It is stated that it was only placed on the line for trial purposes and that the experiment was unsuccessful.

W. B. Hough, one of the pioneer members of the Boulder lodge of Masons, a pioneer school teacher of Boulder county, and one of the oidest members of the Delta Phi Delta, died at Boulder, April 29th, aged seventy years. He had been a resident of the county for over twenty years. Commissioner E. Lyman White has received from Portland a medal awarded to the Colorado mineral exhibit at the Lewis and Clark exposition as first prize for the best display.

Macon, brother of Judge Thomas Macon, and a pioneer, who crossed the plains with a team in the early '60s, died at Denver, April 25th, at the age of eighty-one years. He is survived by a widow and five children, three sons, Howard, an artist on the Denver Republican; H. D. and Edwin Macon of Routt county, and three daughters, Mrs. A. H. Bacon and Mrs. E. L. Guesner of Denver. Judge Macon was his only living brother. For a second time the City Council of Colorado Springs has passed a resolution declaring forfeited the Jackson franchise held by the Pike's Peak Hydro-Electric Company. The first resolution was rescinded, but on further consideration the council decided that their contention was right and lawful. The franchise consists of a right to the city water for power generation and the company is claimed to have violated its agreement with the city. The passenger department of the Denver & Rio Grande has just issued a new book on Colorado agriculture. It is entitled "Fertile Lands of Colorado." In the introductory it is announced that the railroad has no lands for sale and is interested in booming no particular section, and that the book is for information.

Other men have labored and we have entered into the benefits of their good deeds now let the present voters do their duty and future generations will be benefited by our votes. Make it possible for Denver to grow. Don't talk or think of retrogradation or shutting up Denver enterprises to those of a mining camp. Usually city elections are waged over the offices to be filled but that is of minor consideration in the present city campaign. The main question before the voters in this election is the extension of certain franchises; the renewal of others and the introduction of certain privileges entirely new. It is the growth of Denver that is at stake. The street cars are the forerunners of growth and only as they expand will the city develop. The Tramway company is ready to do its part even at a loss in entering sparcely settled districts and initiating first class street car service and it now asks voters to do their part in making it possible by voting for the franchise. If the Tramway franchise is defeated it means the setting back of Denver for years, old conditions will continue indefinitely; for the city cannot move to take possession of the car system as it has done in Chicago from the fact that the Tramway franchise does not expire for some years yet and the life of the company can be protected in the courts. The Moffat road franchise is different from all others to be voted. To defeat this franchise would be to deliver a blow against the whole project and against the labors and investments of Mr. Moffat himself, a base act of ingratitude which no self respecting citizen of Denver would think of doing. It does not speak well for Mr. Patterson, himself a capitalist and interested in a half dozen enterprises, to knock every enterprise he is not personally interested in and thereby build up his own schemes. The Tramway is more necessary to citizens of Denver than the News-Times papers and to advocate a wholesale slaughter of every other interest in order to maintain the Patterson outfit is as unwise as it is unbusinesslike and unAmerican. Denver will be satisfied with nothing but the best street car service and the present company having the experience and having risked its money to build the present extensions is prepared to do more and render better service and furnish better equipment than the city tricksters or grafters could dare promise. The COLORADO STATESMAN, always in line with the interests of the people urges each and every colored taxpayers to vote for the Tramway franchise and show that you are not unmindful of your own interests and duty in such important measures as are now before the people. THE DENVER GAS AND ELECTRIC CO A great deal is being said one way and another about excessive or exorbitant charges to consumers of gas and electricity in this city but did you ever stop and compare the statement of these "Muke Rake spell binders," with the actual facts in the case. If you have not let us intelligently inform you. First. The rate charged in Denver for electric light and power is as low as the lowest. Second. Street lighting in Denver is actually lower than anywhere else. Now let us explain the facts in the case. First. The rate to be charged for gas under the new franchise is $1.00 per thousand feet net. This is as low as the rates charged for gas in any one of the thousand prominent cities of America with but few exceptions; and in most of these cities special conditions prevail which does not exist here. For instance in Chicago where the eighty-five cents rate is in effect; it will at once be seen that the flats and apartment houses predominate and that residences are built closer together in Chicago thereby making a much larger and regular demand for gas which has the effect of reducing the price because of the greater number of consumers. Another pertinent fact is that little or no electricity is used in the dwellings in the residence portion of Chicago thus avoiding a duplication of investment in order to supply one customer. Denver therefore has large advantages over Chicago and other cities, as homes in our city have the privilege of choosing either gas or electricity and receiving either one at a minimum cost. The consumer is therefore benefited now but the company must wait for the city's growth to secure their benefit. Street lighting in Denver also is far below the cost in other cities. The contract in the new franchise calling for $60.00 per lamp. per year which is the cheapest of any of the following cities, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Lcs Angeles, Kansas City, Omaha or St. Louis. These facts are open to the voters and ought to put calamity howlers to the bad. The Denver gas and electric company is not in politics ordinarily but a granting of franchises is necessary to its existence when this is obtained on fair terms to both parties the company will then devote its energies to building up business on strickly business lines. This is the kind of boosting that paves all concerned and that helps all to advance. We ask the intelligent voters and all who are interested in progress to vote for the franchises and make the homes and streets of Denver a city of lights. F. H. HEGWER. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR AL- DERMAN 7TH WARD. F. H. Hegwer of 4560 Clayton street, who is a candidate on the Republican ticket for alderman of the Seventh ward, has been a resident of Denver for the past eighteen years, and being a contractor and builder he has helped to make this city a splendor of beauty. We have known Mr. Hegwer for a number of years and have always found him honest and fair in all his dealings. Indeed, it is a great pleasure to speak of him as a man who recognizes an individual not by the color of his skin, but on his merits. Such a man for alderman should receive, and will receive the unanimous vote of the colored citizens of his ward. It was he who caused the arrest and conviction of the ballot box stuffers of his ward during the last state campaign. He is an old soldier, having enlisted in company B, Ninth Kansas Volunteers, early in the '60s, and later served at second lieutenant in company D, Eighteenth Kansas Volunteers. When he was first enlisted he was quite a youth and was detailed to go to a point in Missouri on a big plantation where kidnapped colored people were brought and sold in the South. He succeeded in securing employment on the plantation long enough to find out just what was going on. He immediately informed his regiment of the fact, which immediately proceeded to the plantation, arrested the kidnappers, who were sent to prison for a term of years, and released the colored people who were bound in chains awaiting their southern voyage to be sold as slaves. It is hardly necessary to state further the good qualities of this deserving candidate. We earnestly urge, and it behooves the colored voters to leave nothing undone to make Mr. Hegwer's election a certainty. Why Union Pacific Railroad Should Have Its Franchise. The Union Pacific railroad was the first of the great continental lines to push forward west of the Missouri river and, through subsidiary lines, reach the great western ocean. It was an undertaking as dazzling in its conception as it was herculean in its proportions, and prophetic of the mighty destiny of the western half of our country. It led the way in reclaiming what was marked on the map and described in geographies of half a century ago as the Great American Desert. This is now one of the fairest sections of the United States, sustaining on its fertile soil in affluence and happy contentment millions of the most intelligent, patriotic, thrifty and enterprising citizens. The road appeared and the frowning wilderness smiled in response to the wooing of the hopeful homeseeker, and yielded varied harvests rich and bountiful beyond the dreams of avarice. Across the mountains it went and, revealing to the miner the rich mineral ores, solved the problem of how they might reach the smelter, be reduced and leave a handsome profit. On and on it proceeded to the Golden Gate, and became the first great artery of commerce of the Orient by way of the West. Other roads followed, but it was this one that, like a herald with his trumpet in advance of the procession, proclaimed the great future in store for the West. This pioneer road is also a suppliant for a franchise under the conditions required by the city charter and the laws. It asks trackage rights on Blake street between Eighteenth and Fortieth, to reach warehouse and wholesale establishments. It seeks not merely to extend its sphere of operation, but also to obtain "sea room," so to speak, where it can most conveniently and promptly handle its immense freight business and render its service to the community most efficient. Corporations are supposed and required to render the very best service to the public. But how can they do this without possessing the necessary facilities? A wide-awake corporation, like a live and keen business man, does not wait until the necessity presses to the point of danger and loss. It forecasts and discounts the future, and is prepared when the emergency arises to meet it. There is no surer index of the hopeful growth and prosperity of a city or community than the activity of railroads. A wise community will be readily responsive to such efforts, aiding them in every way, and especially when in addition to the natural and general benefit thus arising, a large and substantial compensation, as in this case, is directly offered. The Union Pacific proposes to pay the city for the right and franchise sought 25 cents for each car each way over said tracks, or 50 cents per car, because every car must make the round trip. It is estimated by the operating management that an average number of 100 cars per day would have to pay this toll, a sum amounting to in excess of $1,500 per month or $18,000 annually. This would represent a direct revenue paid by the railroad into the general revenues of the city, an amount that would be indefinitely increased as its business developed. It also means a reduction in taxes paid by other property owners. These tracks will be used only for the purpose expressed in the grant, that is, to take cars to and from wholesale establishments. They will be operated at such times and in such manner as not to interfere with other traffic on the street and will be wholly subject to all regulations the city may make for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. It is well known by all who are familiar with that part of Blake street over and about which this franchise is sought, that it has little value except for trackage purposes. But with such trackage the abutting property will be very greatly increased, perhaps doubled in value. Under the law, if any property along the street should be damaged the owner would receive full compensation from the company, which, under the terms of the franchise, will be under bonds in a large amount to save the city harmless in case of such damage. The above embodies a great business proposition big with advantage to the city of Denver in general and to the locality in particular. Denver is a wholesale center for a great area of territory. It will become greater in that line as the facilities required become adequate. For as it is said "the constitution follows the flag," so does business follow the railroad. Create the necessary and adequate facilities for certain classes of business and they spring up as if by magic. No city is more favorably situated for a great and growing wholesale and jobbing trade than Denver. The very fact that the franchise is granted would be a great advertisement for the city, because it would mean that the directorate of one of the greatest railroads in the country have foreseen that the wholesale trade of Denver is to be greatly augmented. That means lower railroad rates, and this company may possibly be again the pioneer in a great railroad movement. Every taxpayer, white and colored, should vote "Yes" on this franchise. The colored man has an especial interest in recording his vote in the affirmative, because being generally a laborer, whatever increases the demand for labor increases his opportunity to be employed. ic Me Public Meeting -OF THE- Colored Taxpayers and Voters AT— EAST TURNER HALL.

A pleasant party was given to Miss Elsie Von Dickersohn, Tuesday evening by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Von Dickersohn of 1846 Downing Ave. in honor of her 18th birthday. She received many beautiful presents. It will be a surprise to friends of Roswell Hazard's friends in this city to learn of his marriage to Miss Minnie R. Booker at Worcester, Mass., last Tuesday. The couple spent their honey moon at Patterson, N. J., and expect to come West before long. The Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's clubs meets Wednesday and Thursday, June 13th and 14th at Shorter A. M. E. church. The city organization is spending every effort to make the second annual meeting a success. The public is invited to attend all sessions. Rev. J. E. Ford will leave next week to preach the Bacculaureatte sermon to the graduating class of State University at Louisville and deliver commencement addresses to the Richmond High school at Richmond, Ky., returning to Denver for the spring rally to be held at Zion the last Sunday in May. Mrs. Annie E. Brown, the evangelist, was greeted with a large audience at Campbell A. m. M. church last Tuesday night. Her subject was, "Should women preach?" Mrs. Brown is a very interesting and intelligent speaker and proved conclusively by biblical quotations that her subject should be affirmed. The formal opening of the Colored Orphanage and Old Folks Home association of Colorado, was largely attended by the general public. The ministers of the various churches were present and spoke in the highest terms of the work and its needs in our city and state. The ministers and the public gave in their collection liberally. Many thanks for $15.62. ROBERT GRAY, President. Mrs. Annie E. Brown, the evangelist, addressed a large and appreciative congregation of women at Campbelle A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. Fully three hundred women listened to the wholesome instructions delivered to them by that woman of God. Sunday at 3 p. m. she will deliver a special sermon to the converts. Evening subject 8 p. m., "God's care for His people." We had occasion last week to visit the cosy quarters of Wm. R. McCowen at 2132 Lawrence street. "Cap," as he is familiarly called, took great pleasure in showing the writer throughout his apartment, which is fitted up in a very unique and exquisite style. The walls are decorated with beautiful pictures and relies among which is a gold bronzed model of an American eagle over the top of which is the word "welcome" and Mac takes pleasure in endorsing its meaning by his unlimited courtesy and generosity. He keeps on hand for his friends the very best brands of cigars and a variety of wet goods. It is indeed a pleasure to spend a few leisure moments with him in a social chat. Republican City Ticket.

The citizens of Colorado Springs are making great preparations in anticipation of a grand time on this occasion in co-junction with the Denver excursion there will also be an excursion from Trinidad and Pueblo. When you go to the Springs on the Decoration day excursion May 30 dont fail to go to beautiful Straton Park where you may expect to listen to Hon. W. T.

All persons who will take one treatment before May 15th can secure a letter of instruction teaching them how to grow their own hair, at very reasonable terms. I do this so that the very poorest may be benefited, and that those who have already been benefited will not suffer in my absence. Should you fail to take advantage of this opportunity you will always regret it. This invitation is not only to those who have no hair, but to those who A. B. have it and wish to retain as well. One treatment will hositively stop the hair from falling out. For the benefit of the sceptics I wish to say after once taking treatments of my hair never falls out. Any one whose hair I treat if only for once will begin growing immediately and if you get my letter of instructions your hair will never stop growing. As I have a natural gift from childhood for growing hair, give me one trial and be convinced. Use only Roberts and Popes wonderful grower and beware of imitations. Mrs. C. J. WALKER, Address 2410 Champa St. Phone Pink 592. CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL BOARD DIST. NO.1. Monday May 7th, is the date of the school election and more interest in such an election has never before been manifested in the history of Denver. The reason for this is plain. That is the policy that the people want carried out involves a great interest not only to the tax payers but to the thousands of school children, and the candidate that has endorsed and pledged himself to carry out such an administration is Mr. Ralph W. Smith, whose cut appears above and who is receiving the heartiest support of the most influential M. B. citizens. "Elect Smith for member of School board" is the slogan of the colored voters, and that he will receive their support, goes without saying. Mr. Smith is a business man of unquestionable qualifications and his reputation for advancing the progress of Denver and its citizens is a fact within itself that should make his election on next Monday a certainty. Such a man for the position for which he has been endorsed will without doubt receive the biggest vote that has ever been polled at a school election. The City Federation will meet Thursday evening May 10 at 8 o'clock at Zion Baptist church, instead of Mrs. C. E. Jackson on the 10th as formerly announced. All club members urged to be present. M. L.

WHIMS OF WORLD'S GREAT ONES Men of Genius Who Have Been Noted for Their Eccentricity. The men of genius whose works are among the world's most precious possessions have ever been the most eccentric of the most normal of mankind, says W. H. Cotton. All readers of "Romola" will remember Pleri di Cosimo, that misanthropic painter who lived completely isolated from his fellows in his queer, squalid studio, with its garden of weeds and flowers growing rankly as they willed, because he preferred them so; his only companions toads, rabbits, spiders and even more loathsome creatures; his diet consisting wholly of eggs, hard-bolled, by the dozen and eaten when required no matter what condition. Goya, the Spanish Rembrandt, was the wildest and most irascible of men. When he was painting the portrait of the Duke of Wellington he kept the hero of Waterloo in a rigid attitude for hours, at the least movement, threatening him with a dagger, and when the duke complained of weariness the painter seized a plaster cast and hurled it at his head. Michael Angelo's method of working was one of his greatest eccentricities. Often he would get up in the middle of the night to hack and hew his marble by the light of a single candle fastened to the visor of his cap, and then, worn by his great labors, he would throw himself down to sleep again without removing his clothing or his shoes—sometimes keeping the latter on so long that when they were removed the flesh came off with the stockings. It is generally credited that at one time a year passed in which he never once removed his shoes.—Lesile's Weekly. WAS FREE FROM PREJUDICE. Talesman Able to Try Case Against an Indian Fairly. In a northern California town a supposed murder had been committed. The half-breed wife of an Indian had died, as the husband said, from natural causes, and was buried without the usual formalities being first complied with. After a lapse of two weeks the body was disinterred by the authorities at the instance of a particular enemy of the accused and marks of violence, as the informer had said, were found upon the body. The prosecuting attorney was examining the talesmen to ascertain if any of them were prejudiced against Indians. Talesman Taylor was upon the stand undergoing a rather stiff cross-examination. "Did an Indian do you or your family any harm at any time?" asked the prosecutor. "No," replied Taylor. "Did you or any of your family ever have dealings or trouble with an Indian?" "No," replied Taylor, "except that my mother was killed by an Indian"—Lippincott's. "Fighting Bob" 'Took Big Chances. During the recent visit of the first division of the North Atlantic squadron to Portland plans for entertaining Read Admiral Evans and his officers were spoiled by the sudden indisposition of "Fighting Bob." A party of ladies were exploring the flagship under the guidance of a grizzled quartermaster, when one of them, referring to the awkward circumstances, remarked, inquiringly: "I suppose you sailors are sorry that the admiral is sick?" "Indeed we are, mum," said the quartermaster. "But," lowering his voice confidently, "we all knew the old man was in for it when we saw him sampling the grub that's served out to us fellows for'ard."

The beginner should try to grow a few varieties of flowers and learn their habits thoroughly, for in thoroughness lies success. He should not construct a garden in fancy out of the highly colored plates in a seed catalogue and expect to produce it in reality. But he should choose his plants with regard to the place he will grow them and study their needs carefully. There is a wealth to choose from. For early spring flowers, for instance, there are the bulbs of tulips, jonquils, narcissi, hyacinths, crocuses, snowdrops and squills. It is best to plant them in the fall; then as soon as spring begins they begin to bloom, and produce a surprising amount of color. The crocuses, snowdrops and squills may be planted in the lawn, and mowed down, for they flower very early, and will continue to bloom for several years. Jonquils and narcissi may also be left in shrubbery, or in grass, where they are not cut, and they will bloom many years. The bulbs may also be planted in the early spring—any dealer will tell how. Sweet peas are deservedly popular, because of their ease of culture, profusion of bloom, dainty colors and delightful fragrance. Plant them in any good garden soil, fertilize well with rich cow manure, in rows preferably running east and west. Keep the flowers well picked each day to prevent seed pods forming, for, like pansies, the vitality of the plant is impaired by the production of seeds. The seed should be planted very early in the spring, in trenches three or four inches deep, being covered over a little at first and the trenches gradually filled as the plants grow. Few persons are acquainted with the merits of the gaillardia, or blanket flower, which is a hardy perennial and blooms in the summer in great profusion. It is about a foot high and has good stems for cutting. For an old-fashioned garden the new hybrids of French marigolds and zinnias, larkspur and fringed petunias are exceedingly beautiful and furnish a wealth of bloom for cutting.—Brooklyn Eagle. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Where a very accurate straight line is required the material should not be torn or cut, but a thread must be drawn first to act as a guide before cutting. If a material has a pattern running one way only care must be taken when cutting out a blouse that the two fronts do not have the pattern going in different directions. As a rule the warp threads which run the length of the material are stronger and more firmly woven than the woof threads, which run from selvedge to selvedge. Remembering this, all parts of a bodice which are likely to stretch, such as sleeves, collars and yokes, should be cut the length of the stuff. Sleeves which are full, at the top or are fashioned with a puff should always be made over a lining for a good fit to be insured and the fullness to be kept in a proper position. If a sleeve is made with a long cuff of lace it is best to mount it over a lining of white satin, but if a transparent effect is wanted chiffon should be used for the lining, as it makes the arm look much whiter underneath. The same rule applies to a lace yoke. Loosely woven materials or those which are likely to fray easily are often a source of trouble to the inexperienced dresssmaker, for however much is allowed for seams the threads are apt to become unraveled almost down to the seam stitches. To remedy this the raw edge should be overcast directly the garment is cut out before any seam is sewed up. By this means the necessity for wide turnings is avoided—Chicago Daily News. Getting It Down Fine. The two hundred and fiftieth part of an inch is a millimeter. The two millionth part of a millimeter is what Dr. P. E. Shaw, of England, is measuring. The unaided eye cannot perceive much less than one-tenth of a millimeter. With the help of a microscope the eye can see as little as 1-5,000 millimeter. The measuring medium used for engineering gauges will detect differences of 1-8,000 millimeter. By using interference bands of light we can perceive movement of 1-100,000 millimeter.—Scientific American. His Experience.

Beginning with been for Doan's Kiuney Pills I would not be alive to-day. Seven years ago I was so bad with pain in the back, and so weak that I had to keep to my room, and was in bed sometimes six weeks at a spell. Beginning with Doan's Kidney Pills, the kidney weakness was soon corrected, and inside a week all the pain was gone. I was also relieved of all headaches, dizzy spells, soreness and feelings of languor. I strongly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

AWFUL SUFFERING. From Dreadful Pains from Wound on Foot—System All Run Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburg, N. Y. August 21, 1905." Century Old Sugar Trees. One of the veteran sugar makers of New England is Thaxter Scott of Hawley, who, although seventy-five years of age, is out in the woods now each day looking after his sap buckets as he has done for sixty-five years each spring, says the Boston Globe. Mr. Scott's camp is made up of some 700 second-growth maples, admirably located as to sun exposure, soil, etc., and these trees yield an average of 125 to 150 gallons of syrup. One of the trees has been tapped by the three generations of Scotts, who have owned the camp, and has yielded sap for 100 years. But the old maple could not give sap forever. Its days of usefulness ended, its stump alone remains stretching out its huge roots in the ground. The stump is fifty-two feet in circumference, and 1,400 feet of lumber have been cut from the tree. Stoves in Japan. Consul Sharp furnishes from Kobe, in response to an inquiry, information as to the methods used in Japan for cooking and heating purposes. He says; "The fuel in use here is charcoal, wood, coal, coke and kerosene oil. The Japanese cooking apparatus is of two kinds—one, the 'schichirin', a small portable construction of metal or earthenware, costing from 25 cents to $1.25, and heated by means of charcoal; the other the 'kamado', a kind of stationary furnace, built of brick and mortar, the price varying from $1.25 to $10, and burning wood as fuel. The houses are usually heated by charcoal braziers costing from 50 cents to $15. FOUND OUT. Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it altogether is place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum, I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observe a curious fact about Postum used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness." "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 or 20 minutes and served with cream when it is certainly a delicious beverage." "There's a reason" for Postum. RIOTING IN PARIS STRIKERS ERECT BARRICADES AND OPPOSE TROOPS. MAY DAY BRINGS TROUBLE Violent But Leaderless Tumult of Laborers, Agitators, Anarchists, Revolutionists and Roughs. Paris.—The long dreaded May Day failed to bring the revolution which inflammatory journals predicted, but none the less it brought scenes of extreme violence. The labor districts, which thousands of troops controlled with difficulty, and even central portions of Paris have taken on the appearance of a siege, with regiments of infantry and cavalry camped about the Arc de Triomphe, the bourse the Bank of France and the great railway station, while military sentinels paced before banks and private establishments. The main thoroughfares in the residential portion of Paris remain tranquil. In the west end, far removed from riotous scenes, people were disposed to treat the events in the labor quarters as harmless effervescence. It was, however, much more than that. Throughout the afternoon dragoons, Republican guards and cuirassiers charged disorderly masses, sweeping the Place De La Republique and the broad Boulevard De Magenta. Toward nightfall cavalry charged with drawn swords, and many persons wounded on both sides. The manifestants overturned omnibuses and threw up hasty barricades. Over 1,000 arrests were made during the day. At no time did the demonstration reach the magnitude of a revolt, but was rather a leaderless tumult in which the serious labor element, struggling for a principle, was hopelessly confused with violent agitators, archists, revolutionists, roughs, and a large number of the curious. The workmen never succeeded in forming a procession or even in assembling more than scattered bands. Their chief action was a reunion of several thousands in the Labor Exchange at which a resolution was adopted not to return to work until the eight-hour day shall have been accorded. The worst hours of the day were toward 5 o'clock this evening, when the police practically lost control and were compelled to rely on the mounted troops. The latter, forming in lines twenty yards across and fifteen yards apart, swept the Place De La Republique, driving the disorderly crowds into the surrounding streets. Most of the mob sought refuge in the Boulevard De Magenta and at the Qual De Valmy, which became centers of disorder. Here trumpets sounded repeated commands to disperse, and the cavalry galloped into the crowds, trampling and injuring many. A body of foot guards became surrounded by manifestants and was rescued with difficulty by cavalry with drawn swords. Here a considerable number were wounded. By 6 o'clock calm had been measurably restored and most of the troops returned to their barracks. Throughout the disorders the authorities succeeded in executing their original plan of holding the disturbers strictly within the limits of the labor districts and not permitting them to press toward the wealthy, commercial and residential sections. DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL. Plan to Take It Out of the Charity List. Denver.—A movement is on foot to take the state's school for deaf and dumb out of the class of eleemosynary institutions and place it directly under the charge of the state superintendent of public instruction. The scheme, through the excellence of its work, has become one of the important educational institutions of Colorado and has attracted the attention of educators all over the country. It is located at Colorado Springs and is now under the supervision of the State Board of Charities and Correction, which has taken the initiative in bringing about the transfer, and authorized its legislative committee to draft the necessary bill. The school would still receive its regular appropriations as now except that they would be made with the other educational institutions of the state. Such a result is conditioned upon the success which the legislative committee of the State Board of Charities and Correction has in getting a law authorizing the change through the next Legislature. Little, if any, opposition is anticipated to the proposition, as the work of the school itself is its best recommendation for rank as an educational institution. Lottie Sullivan, one of the students there, is regarded as the Helen Keller of the West. Las Animas County Accidents. Denver.—A Trinidad dispatch says: Two men met death Tuesday in this county from accidents, which makes a total of twenty-three lives that have been snuffed out by violence in the last ten days. Tony Thigia, a miner, was killed in the mine of the Huerrano Coal Company two miles west of this city, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. A loaded car of coal jumped the track and collided with some timbers near where Thigia was working. One of the timbers struck him across the head and crushed his skull. As a result of falling between two cars of a Santa Fe work train, Louis Bezaro, employed on the work train, received injuries which caused his death a few hours later. Valuable Papers Saved. San Francisco.—In the presence of a number of deputies from the county clerk's office the values in the ruined city hall were opened and the contents found intact. All the wills which have been enacted in the city were filed away in the big steel vault and their loss would have been irreparable. Special Sunday Dinner from 12:30 to 3, 25 Cents.

PRESTON Commercial Agent 1029 17th Street, Denver That the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice endorse and recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh or stomach, "liver complaint," torpillur or urinary tract diseases, frictions, and all catarrhal diseases whatever region, name or nature. It is also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrh affections and their resultants, as bronchial, throat and lung diseases (except consumption) accompanied with severe coughs. It is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for lingering, or chronic eases it is especially enfections and producing perforations. It is also known as Bladder berryk, golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stem root, Mandrake root and Queen's root, all which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. College; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.; Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Med. College, Chicago; Prof. John, of College, Chicago; Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D. of College; Prof. Edwin M. Hale, M. D. of Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and scores of others equally eminent in their several schools of practice. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes, that has any such professional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. Open publicity of its formula on the wrapper is the best possible guarantee of its merits. A glance at this published formula will show that "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no poisonous or harmful agents and no alcohol—chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine being used instead. Glycerine is entirely unobjectionable and besides is a most useful ingredient in the cure of all stomach as well as bronchial, throat and lung affliction. There is the highest medical authority for the cure of such cases. The "Discovery" is a concentrated glycerine extract of native, medicinal roots and is safe and reliable.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last year many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Brigadier General Edward Wellman Serrell, a noted civil and military engineer, died in poverty in New York City last month, aged eighty years. General Serrell was the engineer who first surveyed the interocean canal routes for the government across the isthmus of Panama. He built the Hoosac tunnel, and planned and constructed the Niagara suspension bridge. He received nine decorations and medals and was a fellow of the American Academy of Science. Three times he received the thanks of Congress. Milk in Powdered Form An American college professor announces that he has discovered a process for transforming milk into powdered form by removing the watery part, says the New York Commercial. He has demonstrated his case to the satisfaction of certain large manufacturing interests which propose to protect the discovery by patents and undertake the manufacture of powdered milk on a large scale. The powder can be economically packed in small space and shipped in that form any distance and kept in good condition for an indefinite length of time and can then be transformed into a fluid of richness and flavor equal to that of fresh milk.

Strange Labyrinths of Underground Passages Reveiled. "Strange is the scene where San Francisco's Chinatown stood," says W. W. Overton, who reached Los Angeles among the refugees. "No heap of smoking ruins marks the site of the wooden warrens where the slant-eyed men of the Orient dwelt in thousands. The place is pitted with deep holes and seared with dark passageways, from whose depths come smoke wreaths. All the wood has gone and the winds are streaking the ashes "Men, white men, never knew the depth of Chinatown underground," says Mr. Overton. "They often talked of these subterranean runways, and many of them had gone beneath the level two or more stories. And now that Chinatown has been unmasked, for the destroyed buildings were only a mask, men from the hillsides have looked on where its inner secrets lay. In places they can see passages 100 feet deep. "The fire swept this Mongolian section clean. It left no shred of the painted wooden fabric. It ate down to the bare ground, and this lies stark, for the breezes have taken away the light ashes. Joss houses and mission schools, grocery stores and opium dens, gambling hells and theaters—all of them went. The buildings blazed up like tissue paper lanterns used when the guttering candles touched their sides. "From this place I, following the fire, saw hundreds of fright-crazed yellow men flee. In their arms they bore their opium pipes, their money bags, their silks and their children. Beside them ran the bag-trousered women, and some of them with little feet hobbled painfully. "But these were the men and women of the surface. Far beneath the street levels in those cellars and passageways were other lives. Women who never saw the day from their darkened prisons, and blinking jailors were caught like rats in a huge trap. Their very bones were eaten by the flames. WAS WEAK AND DIZZY Dr.Williams' Pink Pills Restored the Patient to Perfect Health And Strength Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South Summer street, Hollyoke, Mass., has passed through an experience which proves that some of the greatest blessings of life may lie within easy reach and yet be found only by mere chance. A few years ago while she was employed A few years ago she was suddenly seized with dizziness and sudden weakness. It was so weak at times" she says "that I could hardly stand, and my head became so dizzy that it seemed as if the floor was moving around. "My condition at last became so bad that I was obliged to give up work in the mill, and later still I became so feebly that I could not even attend to me household duties. After the slightest exertion I had to lie down and rest until I regained strength. "A friend who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to try them. I bought a box and began to take them. The benefit was so positive and so quickly evident that I continued to use the pills until I had taken altogether six boxes. By that time I was entirely cured, and for two years I have had no return of my trouble. I am now in the best of health and able to attend to all my duties. I am glad to acknowledge the benefit I received and I hope that my statement may be the means of inducing others who may suffer in this way to try this wonderful medicine." The secret of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of debility, such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact that they make new blood, and every organ and even every tiny nerve in the body feels the stir of a new tide of strength.

We have spoken of the sure and steady growth of temperance in the United States, due to various factors, industrial, social, legislative and sanitary. In England figures have just been furnished which confirm the general impression that, in the words of a London paper, "there is a gradual sliding of the nation into habits of sobriety." Dr. Dawson Burns, analyzing the official returns of the quantities of intoxicating liquors consumed in the United Kingdom during 1905, concludes that there has been a decrease of nearly $25,000,000. The year under review, moreover, is not exceptional in this respect. It is, in fact, the sixth registering a consecutive decreased expenditure on alcoholic beverages. The decrease for 1904 was over $28,000,000. The total decrease in the national drink bill in the six years amount to about $110,000,000—Chicago Record-Herald. DO WE LOVE SHAKESPEARE? From This Authority It Would Appear That Americans Are Somewhat Indifferent. It would seem, indeed, from the condition of Shakespeare on our stage, that we all got enough of him in school, writes W. G. Parsons, in Atlantic. A big noise is made on the occasion of a big-priced production by a big-advertised star, that the full house refutes the charge that Americans do not love Shakespeare. It does no such thing. It refutes nothing but the supposition that Americans love anything so much as bigness. To take the monetary success of occasional and extraordinary performances, appealing to our liking for the unusual and the demonstrative, as indicative of love, suggests that we no longer know what love is. Love of Shakespeare on the stage would mean the success of frequent, ordinary performances in every town large enough for a high school and a theater. Such, for instance, as the love of Wagner in Germany. Or, again, of Shakespeare. For it is not only in her own dramatist but in ours as well, that Germany can teach us what art-love is. The appreciation of Shakespeare is far more general and genuine there than here. The continuousness of his success, despite the frequency and mediocrity of the performances, despite the lack of all bigness and eclat, shows that it is Shakespeare that is loved. But then, what could one expect. The Germans do not, like us, get enough of him in school. ABOUT PAMPERED STOMACH From This Account One Should Not Give In to a Weak Digestion. Even though it takes pork four hours to leave the stomach and six hours to be dissolved and absorbed in the small intestine, what does that matter so long as it is completely assimilated by the end of that time, as it is in 90 per cent, of all digestive canals? It is the slowest but also one of the surest foods that we have to give off all its energy to the body. Its very slowness is what gives it its splendid staying powers for hard work, whether muscular or mental, writes Woods Hutchinson, M. D., in McClure's Magazine. As a matter of fact, I have seen more cases of dyspepsia cured by the use of breakfast bacon than by any kind of drug or restricted diet. An adult alimentary canal which cannot digest bacon or ham is not to be regarded as healthy, and instead of humoring and giving in to a weak digestion, it should be braced up and under skilled supervision educated to take what is given it and make no fuss. Stomachs can be spoiled by giving them too little to do almost as easily as by giving them too much. A healthy stomach fit to cope with the emergencies of life must be able to digest not only that which is digestible, but much that is difficult of digestion, and this is the standard which should be aimed at in dietetic therapeutics. COLORADO HANGING LAKE Wonderful Monument Reared by Dame Nature in Her Own Honor. Even the least contemplative mind cannot fall to be impressed upon beholding wonderful Hanging Lake in Colorado, a monument which nature has reared in her own honor, and all in her quiet way with, perhaps, not even an Indian or a cliff-dweller to applaud, writes George L. Beam, in Four-Track News. While mortals out in the world have been struggling for existence, while the Napoleons have been carrying on wholesale murder, while the Michael Angelos have been painting, while the Shakespearees and the Chaucers have been writing, while the Sir Launcelots have been jousing and the Neros misruling, during all these periods in our civilization, high up in the fastnesses of the Rocky mountains this silvery stream has been peacefully pursuing its way down its little gulch, tumbling over the rocks, striking obstacles of fallen trees and boulders, upon which it has deposited its ever-increasing crust, forming its peculiar basin, doing nature's bidding in the production of this wonderful monument; all seemingly for the benefit of those occasional visitors who at the present day see fit to make the trip up the Grand river canyon to the "Hanging Lake." Quail with Chickens Near the barnyard of Lit Lofland, an Ohio farmer, an old quail hatched her brood, and the entire family proceeded to make itself at home with the chickens. They followed the fowls around continually, but one day the mother with 12 of her little ones disappeared, leaving the thirteenth alone, and the quail seemed to be as contented as though it were with the old quail. Lofland moved to another farm recently, and the quail was cooped up with the chickens and taken to its new home, where it enjoys life very much. Hurried Exit. "Gladly would I die for you." Her look of hateur was maintained despite this plea. "You are in error," she replied, coldly; "if you think the color of your hair constitutes my chief objection to you." The good-night was brief and soon. —Philadelphia Ledger. Henry-Pardon me for interrupting you.-Smart Set. English Canal Building: A royal commission has been appointed to consider the advisability of opening up the numerous canals which extend all over England like a veritable network. Most of these canals in modern years have been put out of use deliberately by railway companies who have acquired them for the express purposes of closing them up. Upward of 40,000,000 tons of goods were carried on English canals last year; but it is stated that were all the canals opened three times this amount could have been transported. The royal commission is to investigate and report on the entire subject of English railway canals, and the new government is following Campbell-Bannerman's lead when he recently said: "Few things are more capable of benefiting both town and country than the development of our system of canals. It will facilitate transit, open markets and bring town and country together." Dress of Platinum. A reception recalling the gala days of the diplomatic corps under the second empire was given at Paris recently by the German ambassador and Princess Radolin. The women's gowns were the most magnificent ever seen in a Parisian drawing room. Among the strikingly handsome dresses was the one worn by Mrs. McCormick, wife of the American ambassador. It was of the new platinum cloth, veiled with the lightest of white tulle, embroidered with seed pearls. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be relied upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial, and female trouble some time ago, and my youngest one now needing it for a female weakness, and is surely gaining in health and strength. "I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, bloating (or flatulency), weakness of organs, displacements, inflammation or ulceration, can be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If advice is needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising, sick women free of charge. No other living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well. 50% MORE CREAM FROM SAME COWS.

By now the styles are well assured, one need not wait longer to decide about gown and wrap; and of course by now the new hat is at least all planned out. crystal button blue the advice of verdancy, j and mere sug There is n Hats are purchased earlier than they used to be, even when there are yet a few flurries of snow flying one sees beflowered straws braving cold and wintry aspect. It is a mistake to get the spring hat late, for nothing takes shabbier and warmer than heavy headgear on the occasional sultry day in May. This year flowers amany bloom in the millinery world and, too, there are very good hats whose only adornment is flowered ribbon. The latter make perhaps the best utility hats offered, ribbon keeping its freshness longer than almost any other trimming. Very trim sailors match the street suit in color and the trimming of ribbon repeats the prevailing tone, while pleasing contrast is shown in the fanciful border or flower design. Ribbons now are as attractive as they were in the days when your mamma was young—you all must have about the house scraps of those really beautiful golds and blues that were the delight of girlish hearts long years ago. We noticed a simple and smart hat recently that might easily be copied. It was a blue and green combination, the green used in small touches and very cunningly disposed. The frame was a dark blue sailor with large Tam O'Shanter crown and a very high bandeau at the back; the trimming, lustrous dark blue ribbon with tiny bunches of green leaves which but peeped out here and there; yards and yards of ribbon were puffed up on the bandeau. This "creation" was worn with a blue silk waist and cloth skirt, the waist trimmed with tiniest green A Few Notes on What is in Style A Few Notes on What is in Style Although every other woman you meet wears cut-off sleeves and conspicuous long gloves, it really is not incumbent that you feel troubled if a few waists have sleeves coming quite down to the wrist. To tell the truth, city folks are a little tired of the woman with arms akimbo to show she has on a pair of expensive long gloves, and it seems some of the best-dressed women have concluded the thing is V being run into the ground, it is time to call a halt. For the lingerie waist and more elaborate cloth costume it is well to keep to the shortened sleeve, but don't bother about anything else for ordinary wear. Parasols are exceptionally pretty this year, and none prettier than the embroidered linens—unless it be those that travel under the name Japanese. So many things these days bear the name of Nipon though also bearing most boldly a United States aspect. But the Japanese influence has worked for good; we now have opportunity to buy at a moderate sum such pretty crystal buttons. In using green with blue the advice is to avoid over much of verdancy, just enough to give life and mere suggestion of color. There is nothing in spring styles more chic than the smart little Etons. They are as natty as can be with their slashed-up backs and rounded fronts edged with accordion plaited silk frills. We have in mind an inexpensive suit of very good style, a gray material dark in tone. It was made with a skirt that fitted close to the figure at the waist and then swung out in some mysterious fashion into decided fullness about the ankles. The jacket was one of the half loose Etons, gay with frills of dark green silk, most effective with the slate gray. The hat was a black chip pointed in front, dented in elsewhere, and trimmed with damask roses. A black veil, one of those affairs with but two or three large dots, "beauty patches," completed a modest yet colorful costume. Actresses set the styles for us and it may be well to chronicle the costume worn the other afternoon by one of the most distinguished women members of the profession. To speak rhapsodically, we would call the costume a spring song—or at least a poem. It was of that loveliest olive green, the green of unopened leaves. The material was some silky transparent stuff, the skirt had a long train, the coat was tight fitting with very long basques; sleeves came just below the elbow, where they were met by white gloves. The hat was long and narrow and a single plume added to the length of line at the side. A veil matching the gown exactly was draped over the hat and fell about the shoulders. The charming ensemble bespoke a Paris creator. wash silks, and pongees are not so very expensive when you consider their wearing qualities. Pongee dust cloaks are most satisfactory, especially useful for summer and early fall days. A pongee shirt waist suit makes an ideal traveling dress or street dress for the city. In spite of assertions to the contrary, chemisettes are to continue in style; it is a daunting and becoming fashion and one we cling to. Lace-work stockings are favored over embroidered ones, and may be had in all qualities, from the finest silk down to cheapest thick cotton. White shoes and hose will be even more in demand than last year. Where do the intricate crochet laces all come from. The other day we were almost moved to the rudeness of asking a stranger where she had discovered the lovely cuff and collar set of crochet she wore. Her frock was very plain but given distinction by the elegant neckwear. The coat sets now affected look so clean and give just the right amount of adornment to a street suit, and in each letter we feel like emphasizing their desirability.

Consul—Root of All Languages in Samoa Tongue—Denatured Alcohol. ASHINGTON. — A striking proposal has been made to the river and harbor committee of the house, which is engaged just now in framing legislation to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. One of the power ASHINGTON. — A striking proposal has been made to the river and harbor committee of the house, which is engaged just now in framing legislation to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. One of the power companies, which has a charter to use water from the Niagara river and which would be cut off from the enjoyment of this charter by the enactment of Chairman Burton's bill, has offered, in case it is permitted to use a portion of the water conceded by its charter, to perorm an engineering feat which, instead of diminishing the glory of the falls, will greatly enhance its spectacular beauty. This company, known as the Niagara County Irrigation & Water Supply company, plans, at its own expense, to excavate the bed of Niagara River above the falls so that nearly 50 per cent. more water will flow over the American falls every second than now flows over the same spot and that, too, after all the water needed has been diverted for mechanical purposes. At present, according to the engineers, the average fall of water over the American falls is 27,900 cubic feet of water a second. After the proposed excavation the fall will be 40,000 cubic feet. According to the same engineers, who have been living near the falls for 20 years, the present use of power has not affected the spectacular appearance of the falls so that it could be visible to the eye and they declare that if all companies now under charter should be permitted to use water to the limit of their charters the difference in the spectacular appearance of the cateract would still be unappreciable—not nearly as great a change as is wrought by an ordinary wind on Lake Erie from the southwest or northeast which varies the depth of water on the crest of the falls frequently as much as three feet. For Utilitarian Purposes: OME interesting comparisons have been laid before the river and harbor committee. One of the companies, for instance, proposes that it be permitted to use 17,900 cubic feet of water a second. This it S is figured, at a fall of 295 feet would produce 450,000 horse power. The use of this amount of horse power means new employment for 228,000 men, representing a population of 1,140,000. Based upon the census population of 1900 it would yield gross annual products to the amount of $514,000,000. The value of all the farm property in the state of New York in 1900 was $1,069,-000,000, the income from which at 20 per cent. would be $213,000,000, which is only about 40 per cent. of $514,000,-000. It is also estimated that the use of power to this extent will save 3,000,-000 tons of coal a year, representing an annual disbursement of $7,500,000. If this could be accomplished by the use of 17,500 cubic feet of water per second, it is easily figured how much could be accomplished by the use of the entire force of the falls, which is 222,000 cubic feet per second. Of course, that will never be realized; because it is plain that the people will not permit the entire force of the falls to be devoted to utilitarian purposes; but something of what it signifies may be judged from the words of Daniel Webster who said at Rochester in 1844: "If the Thames had a fall of 250 feet within the limits of London, London would not be a town, but would be the whole world." Philological Research. HE Carnegie institute is going to make it possible to discover the root of all languages if money can accomplish that result. Representations have been made to it that have commanded at once HE Carnegie institute is going to make it possible to discover the root of all languages if money can accomplish that result. Representations have been made to it that have commanded at once $15,000 for the presecution of a research into this interesting subject. At the instance of the Washington Philological society the Carnegie institute has authorized William Churchill, of New York, formerly United States consul in Samoa, to complete a most interesting investigation which he has been presecuting and which he believes will unquestionably prove that the root of all language is in the Samoan tongue. The Washington Philological society is of recent origin and owes its being to the interest excited by Mr. Churchill's most interesting researches. Not long ago Mr. Churchill wrote to a former classmate in the class of '82 at Vale. Mr. James Rice, a letter in 1922 he seemed to prove most clearly that in Samoa he had discovered the earliest reducible language. Mr. Rice sent his letter to Senator Kittredge, a member of the United States senate from South Dakota, suggesting that some means be found by which Mr. Churchill could devote his life work to the prosecution of his philological researches. Senator Kittredge brought the matter to the attention of Mr. L. A. Coolidge, formerly a leading journalist of Washington and a man of scientific knowledge and attainments. Mr. Rice's rare discovery was discussed and it at once excited the deepest interest among scientific men in this city. It was determined to organize a philological society for the purpose of encouraging Mr. Caurchill's work. The society was organized by the election of Hon. W. L. Chambers, formerly chief justice of the Samoa court, as president; Mr. Westcott, secretary; Mr. L. A. Coock, treasurer. Judge Chambers knew Mr. Churchill when the latter was in the consular service in Samoa and knew of his devotion to the study of the Samoa language and has great confidence in his ability to establish the theory that the Samoa language is the father of all languages. In union with the National Geographical society the Washington Philological society brought Mr. Churchill to Washington a few days ago and the latter delivered a most instructive and illuminating address embodying his favorite theory under the title of "The Reduction of the Samoa Root." Compete with Gasoline HERE has passed in the house of representatives a bill, the friends of which are trying to persuade the farmers and fruit growers of the country will mean untold millions of wealth to them from a new indus- T try. This the bill removing the tax from denatured alcohol. By making alcohol free from internal revenue tax, that is alcohol manufactured from potatoes, corn and other products after it has been rendered unfit for beverage or medicinal uses and by mixture with suitable denaturing materials a new industry has been established. This alcohol is expected to form a staple product of the country and be used as fuel and in the manufactures and in the running of explosive engines. In Germany the bulk of denatured alcohol is used for the purpose of light, fuel and heat. A lamp is made which produces a very strong, steady and high grade light by the use of alcohol. Experiments have been made with this lamp which show that one gallon of alcohol is equal to two gallons of kerosene for lighting purposes. During the past few months experiments have been made in adapting gasoline power engines to the use of alcohol. In Germany this has been successfully done for a number of years. There they mix 25 per cent. of the gasoline with the alcohol and obtain a more ready ignition of the fluid. The experiments in this country show that alcohol can be used by itself and the operation of the engine with its use is perfect. It is estimated that there are 300,000 motor engines in use in this country and the number is growing greatly every year, the annual output being more than 100,000. These engines are used on the farm for pumping water, cutting feed, filling silos, threshing grain and all the uses to which a stationary power on a farm is adapted: The objection to the use of gasoline is the danger of fire to farm buildings. The gasoline fire cannot be quenched with water. This danger is minimized by the use of alcohol, as an alcohol fire can be extinguished by use of water. Waste of Crops. ALCOHOL HE possibilities of this new industry read like the dreams of Mulberry Sellers. By turning pot a toes and corn into alcohol a better price for those crops can be obtained and at the same time the farmer can have at hand a coilventent fuel and light and material for running all his farm machinery. A bushel of corn will make almost five proof gallons of alcohol. The corn has averaged in price for some years past about 43 cents a bushel. Alcohol after it has been denatured by the use of crude wood alcohol is worth about 20 cents a gallon. This would mean that a bushel of corn could be turned into about 90 cents worth of denatured alcohol. At the same time where corn is cheap and where potatoes are cheap this alcohol can be made cheaper than the price for which gasoline and kerosene sell. In Europe the principal material for the manufacture of denatured alcohol, is the potato, but corn seems to be the best material found in this country. It does not need to be the highest grade of corn or potatoes, so that the farmer expects to be able to utilize a great deal of what has hitherto been waste in his crops. He can sell for food his largest and best potatoes and then turn the smaller and tannature fruit into alcohol. If his corn should not all be perfect he can use it up in a profitable way by making it into alcohol to run his automobile, his motor launch or his farm machinery. Other grain, such as oats and wheat, that does not come up to the standard, can also be utilized and the visions of wealth now dancing before the eyes of the farmer are very attractive.
