To Truly Study the American Negro one must Visit Him in His Comfortable Homes, in His Churches, Schools and Colleges, Etc. AMERICAN PE On Race Question. To Truly one must Visit Him in His Churches, School The American people have gone' clean, crazy drunk on the "Negro Question." By American people we mean that portion of our citizenry which styles itself Anglo-Saxon. Take up a newspaper or magazine and there is sure to be found theirin something on the Negro. Attend a public meeting, let it be political, religious, educational or what not and the Negro comes in for full and free discussion. Up North, there lives a once good old Abolistionist, Union veteran and friend of the Negro—Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts. Mr. Adams has, in the language of the street, money to burn, and he has with his treasurers of money a treasure of knowledge which all men do not possess. Mr. Adams has spent some of that money traveling in Africa, where he has been studying the Negro on his native heath. The result of these studies and observations Mr. Adams has given to the world through the medium of the Century Magazine, in which he comes to the conclusion that there is an everlasting difference between the Negro and the white difference. a difference so great, that the superiority of the white man over the black man is as London is to Omdurman. Mr. Adams even goes so far as to say that the American Negro has had his chance, and if left to himself would drift back into savagery. Mr. Adams has reached his three score years and ten, and is yet in the full possession of all those mental powers that make for good high thought. Yet, with all the accumulated knowledge of those years why should he go to Africa to study conditions of the American Negro? Africa is in no sense of the word, the place to study an American, no more so than are the mines of Siberia, with all their horrors, the place to study the prosperous American Jew. To truly study the American Negro, one must visit him in his comfortable homes, in his schools and colleges, in his churches and in the various industrial and financial enterprises which are the creations of his own hand and head. Here seekers after truth will find that in his forty years up from slavery a slavery most cruel and degrading—he has made a progress along all lines that should command the admiration of the civilized world. Gradually forging his way to the front, in spite of discrimination and prejudice, developing himself proportionately with his necessities and responsibilities and the demands of an enlightened civilization. He has lived and is fattening and prospering in the face of the fact, that in many cases, the white man has handed him a stone when he has asked for bread, and a serpent when he has asked for flesh. Prejudiced bourbon sentiment against the Negro, hereditary to the South is permeating the North to a most alarming extent and many of our former friends and well wishers are beginning to see us through prejudiced glasses as reflected by the Southern press.—The Reformer. Some Facts About the Negro. Negroes form 11 per cent of the total population of the United States Ninety per cent of them live in the South, where they form one-third of the population. Eighty per cent of them live in rural districts or in small towns. Mulattoes form from a ninth to a sixth of them according to location. Beginning in 1860 with an illiteracy of almost 100 per cent, this proposition has been dreceased to 44 per cent for the country at large, and to 48 per cent in the South. Notwithstanding the improvement in percentage of educated Negroes, there are actually more illiterate today Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and the district of Columbia than there were in 1860. The explanation lies in the increase in population. In 1876 the Negro population was 4,400,000; in 1900 it was 8,800,000. The majority of the leaders of the colored people are mulattoes, and over 50 per cent of the students at the leading schools for Negroes are mixed blood. But the Hampton investigators, from whose records the above facts are taken, say that this does not prove any inherent superiority in the mulatto, but is due to the advantages he has received by reason of his mixed blood. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1906. Watch This. Samuel Gompers, the head of the American Federation of Labor, recently announced that the federation intended entering national politics, not as a distinct party, but would support men who gave evidence or promises of friendliness to the causes the federation espouses. In opening their campaign, the executive council has adopted and promulgated the following declaration: "We reaffirm as one of the cardinal principles of the trade union movement that the working people must unite and organize, irrespective of creed, color, sex, nationality or politics." Commenting on this the Washington Star (white) says: "Mark the word of 'color.' Organized labor has itself this hereto dawn the color line. Does it now favor the organization of colored laborers for political purposes? And will it co-operate with them for political ends? If so it can hope for help from that source only in the debatable sections; and there again the Republicans may suffer. The Negro is not a voter in the South, and is not likely to be in this generation. He is barred from the polls, either by state constitutions or by prtty arrangements which operate to bar him. Labor as a distinct factor in our politics means a good deal, but the details of its activities have yet to be worked out." SILVERTON NOTES Rev. Smith of Denver was the guest of Rev. Sanders Sunday night. Rev. Watson will be in the city this week and will hold quarterly meeting. On account of the severe blockade business has been on a standstill yet the sum of $2,069 was sent from the city. Our people have shown their open hearted generosity by the way they responded to the call for aid from the suffering people of San Francisco. The following ladies were elected officials of the Ladies Aid Society for the ensuing year: Mrs. W. J. Palmer, president; Mrs. Sanders, vice president; Mrs. Lockett, recording secretary, Mrs. Bryant, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Buchanan, treasurer. The Ladies Aid Society have planned to have one of the best literary societies in the state. The study however will be devoted to the great men of the race. The subject of the last meeting was "Paul Laurence Dunbar." Papers were read by Rev. Sanders and Mr. Alexander. Music by Miss Buchanan. At the responsive call selections were given from Dunbar's poems. Mrs. Williams' name was added to the roll. Refreshments were served. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Visits Western University at Quindaro Kansas. Many distinguished visitors have come to Western University in the past but never before was it honored as last Friday afternoon when Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, the greatest living Negro in the world, visited the institution, inspected the departments, grounds and buildings and lectured to the students for half an hour in the new auditorium of the Trades building. At the local post office the University Concert band met the line of carriages which contained the distinguished visitor, Bishop A. Grant, the trustees and many local notables. Heading the procession, the band playing "Hail to the Chief." Dr. Washington, Bishop Grant and party entered the campus and were immediately shown about the buildings. In his lecture to the students he urged them to be proud of their race; to be not discouraged at small beginnings, at poverty that may surround them, at prejudice but to use these apparent hindernances as aids to climb higher. He urged them to leave the destructive city life, buy homes in the country, raise poultry, hogs, fruit add produce for the market as well as to real healthy, intelligent, industrious families for the uplift of the race. Said he did not decry higher education, but rather encouraged every Negro to learn every profession, every art, every industry, all college and university training that any other race had learned and even to excell them in it. But for the great bulk of the 10 millions of Negroes in America he believed, as every other race in same condition has had to do, that the Negro must lay the foundation for the race in agriculture, and the mechanical arts and industries, then the upper tents, the professional classes of the race will have a field upon which to grow and prosper. He said the prejudice would disappear as the Negroes acquired homes, bank accounts and business enterprises. Finally he urged the students to become masters of some one occupation so as to do it better than anyone else in their home communities. After the lecture, President Vernon, at his beautiful residence which commands an excellent view and overlooks the Missouri river and the shores of both Kansas and Missouri, entertained Dr. Washington at a special dinner given in his honor, at which were present, besides the distinguished world-educator; Bishop Abraham Grant, Hon. J. G. Groves, of Edwardsville; Trustees Judge L. W. Keplinger, Hon. Corvine Patterson and J. R. Ransom; Hon. George W. Jonos of Hill City, Dr. J. E. Ed wards, of Topeka and Prof. N. Spurlock, director of industries, a graduate of Tuskegee. As the party left the grounds they were escorted back as far as the post office by the University band and a number of visitors and admirers, feeling themselves better informed as to the knowledge and scope of our work here, and leaving behind students, teachers and trustees better instructed along the line of our efforts toward exemplifying the aims and objects of the Tuskegee idea, as promulgated by the original author, Dr. Washington himself, who is changing the sentiment of the world, and bringing it to his own way of thinking as regards the education of the races of mankind. Thus honored in the highest degree, with mutual feelings of uplift, respect and pleasure, the occasion is significant and marks an epoch in the life and future of this growing institution.

RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. George M. Washington, of Houston, Texas has granted U. S. Patent No. 816,606 for an improved bailing press. The invention is designed to bale and compress cotton right at the gin without necessitating the expense of going to a cotton compress. Mr. Washington was born in Lavica Co., moving to Houston four years ago. He has been working on the invention for nearly thirteen years but was unable to obtain a patent until his sons, Jim, Fred and Joe raised the funds to pay the expenses. Leavenworth, Kan., April 28. What promises to become a lively row has started in the high school here over the fact that a colored girl is entitled to the honors of valedictorian, standing at the head of a class of 44. The graduates have attempted to elect a valedictorian and salutatorian, not wanting the colored girl to lead in graduating exercises Most of the citizens feel that Miss Bruce should have the honors she has earned. There has been some talk of separating the two races in the high school. The Hot Springs Echo says: "At melville, Ark., April 4th, a Negro lad 16 years old, was arrested for addressing a young white girl while the latter was passing through a small thicket of woods on the outskirts of the city. Before the officers placed the boy in jail a mob took charge of him for the purpose of carrying out an immediate lynching. While discussing plans to this effect, the boy made a dash for liberty and escaped. He was re-arrested the following morning by a posse of officers six miles from the point of his escape. For the second time the mob took charge of the prisoner and took him off. Then they fired several shots at him and left him for dead. After the departure of the mob, he untied the noose about his neck and, although badly shot through the leg and arm, managed to creep to several Negro houses to beg for shelter. For the second time he has escaped and his whereabouts is unknown. This affair is one of the most heartless and dastardly that ever occurred in this section and the lack of humanity and justice manifested by the Mellville mob shooting a young boy as they would a beast without even being certain of criminal intent on his part is truly appalling and adds another blot of disgrace upon the name of this state.

RAISING GARDEN HERBS. This Is a Practical Occupation Open to a Woman Thrown on Her Own Resources. Among the practical occupations open to women that are thrown upon their own resources without previous training in any sort of business is that of raising garden herbs. There has never been a sufficiency of seasoning herbs to be had at any market; parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram, bay leaf, mint, are always in demand by those who know their value in the proper cooking of savory dishes. Their raising is neither difficult nor expensive. A small piece of ground will supply any large private market establishment or green grocer, and it is work that even a delicate woman can undertake. But she must, first of all, instruct herself in the nature of the soil needed, the amount of sunshine, water and general habits of the things she is going to raise. To do this it is only necessary for her to visit any good library and study books on the subject, making notes and really learning, just as if she were at school. Then she must study how to get the very best plants for her purpose; all florists and agriculturists are glad to send catalogues for the asking, and, while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the fecundity and appearance of their wares, such catalogues are a help. Once she knows the right soil to prepare, the rest is easy. If she has no boy neighbor to call upon to measure and define the various beds, she can simply tie stout cords to sticks stuck in the ground to keep one variety from running over the other. The spadling she may have to hire done, and the pulverizing of the soil, which is very essential to success, most failures being due to the caking of imperfectly prepared ground that either carries off the water that is applied or allows it to stand without penetrating the earth to reach the roots of thirsty plants. Take the fragrant garden mint as a very fair example of an herb that is well worth cultivating. I have seen a single root spread in a couple of years over a 12-foot square of ground, and its healthy sprigs are always in demand. The woman who wills to do so can find a market for her mint the year round, if she will care that it will not freeze. Sweet marjoram grows fast also, as do all these seasoning herbs, and needs but little care when once started. Curly parsley makes a lovely garnishing for a dish of coquettes or for any sort of broiled meats or fish, and never can there be too much grown. If to these be added chives and lentils, there are always purchasers for these greens that make such delicious spring salads. But this business must be properly attended to if there is to be a livelihood in it; like everything else in this world, it amounts to nothing without a certain amount of care and trouble. If there is a sudden blizzard the plants must be protected; if the midsummer sun is too hot, some sort of shade must be evolved, and so on through the list of watchful precautions that are necessities to success.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Italian Cream Soak half a box of gelatine in a cupful of cold water for an hour. Heat four cupfuls of milk in a double boiler, and when hot stir into them the yolks of four eggs beaten light with half a cupful of sugar, stir over the fire for two minutes, add the gelatine, and keep stirring until dissolved. Take from the fire, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla, and set aside to cool. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, and add them to the custard when it is cold, but before it has begun to form.

After all, the experience of the world has shown that it is easier to borrow $50 than it is to borrow 50 cents.

St. Denver, Cola CUTTING RATIONS STRICTER RULES IN FORCE AT SAN FRANCISCO. IDLERS MUST GO TO WORK Number Fed Will Decrease from Now On—No Run on the Banks—Trying to Prevent Drunkenness. San Francisco.—With the increasing severity of the regulations surrounding the "bread line" General Greely has hopes of soon eliminating from the relief lists a large percentage of the people who are now receiving free food supplies. It is becoming more difficult every day for able-bodied men to secure their army ration. When a healthy appearing man presents himself for food he is frequently confronted by an offer of employment and if he refuses to engage in the profiled work he is denied relief. All the women must prove beyond doubt that they are in need of assistance. Tickets, good for only a few days' food, are furnished them and at the expiration of the privilege they must again demonstrate their destitution before aid is given them. Already there is a big decrease in the daily output of supplies and the officials expect that by June 1st their labors in this direction will practically be ended. It is anticipated that when the savings banks are opened for payments to small depositors there will be a further lessening in the number of the men and women who are now forced to ask for their supplies from the stations. The sale of liquor in neighboring counties is causing San Francisco police much trouble. Since the saloons have been closed here, drinking places have been established just across the county line in San Mateo and the saloons of Oakland across the bay have recently been allowed to resume business. The result has been that thousands of idle men are visiting the resorts and returning here much the worse for liquor. Chief of Police Dianan to-day issued an order that all persons from outside points under the influence of drink be turned back on a return journey, and he detailed fifty men to enforce his ruling. Reporting for the finance committee Mr. Phelan announced that the outside subscription for May 5th amounted to $165,190, and $10,500 from local sources. This sum added to the total previously reported, and $410,000 unconfirmed, makes a grand total of $4,922,000. This did not include $500,000 now held by the chamber of commerce of New York city awaiting the plan for rehabilitation of San Francisco, but it did include $250,000 already given and reported. There is now at his command in the mint $1,246,491 and in various banks or in process of collection $1,067,189, or a total of $2,213,680. The bankers say that under normal conditions the banks could not be more prosperous than they are at present. The expected stampede for funds has not materialized, and the deposits exceed the disbursements. The limit upon checks is still maintained, but there is scarcely any demand for ready money. The temporary counting rooms throughout the western addition are crowded during the day and preparations are under way for floating loans. STANDARD OIL CHARGES Tried at Chicago Will Involve Rail road Officials. St. Louis—Traffic officials of St. Luis railroads and officials and employees of the Standard Oil and of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company have been subpoenaed to testify before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Chicago May 10th regarding the special rates and rebates enjoyed by the Standard Oil and its subsidiary companies throughout the West. Following are the points which the federal attorneys expect to bring out in their investigation. First—That Rockefeller, who owns Standard Oil, also owns a controlling interest in many of the railroads of the West and Southwest, being thus both shipper and common carrier. Second—That various alleged independent oil companies in the West and Southwest are merely the Standard Oil under other names. Third-That the Standard was given lower rates than other oil companies and that the railroads paid to the trust the differences between the low rate it paid and the higher rates paid by its rivals. Fourth-That these favors were obtained partly through the fact that Rockefeller owned the railroads as well as the freight, and partly through favors shown railroad officials who have the power to grant rebates. In all, sixty-five St. Lousians are wanted to testify at the hearing. Among these are officials and clerks of the 'Frisco, Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis railroads. The facts brought out, it is expected, will furnish a basis for prosecution of the railroads for giving rebates and the Standard Oil for accepting them. Government Supplies Burned. Seattle, Wash.—Arlington dock, filled with government supplies intended for shipment to the Philippines on the transport Sherman, was destroyed by fire that broke out early Monday. Several box cars standing alongside the warehouse were burned. There were 16,000 sacks of oats and thousands of rounds of Krag-Jorgensen cartridges stored in the warehouse. Arlington dock was owned by the Northern Pacific railroad and was under lease to Frank Waterhouse and the government. It was fully covered by insurance. The losses are approximately as follows: United States Signal Corps supplies, $100,000; Arlington dock, $50,000; United States Commissary supplies, $14,000; 20,000 sacks of flour, $20,000; total $184,000. San Francisco Encouraged by Announcement of Insurance Companies. San Francisco.—Financial interest to-day centered in the announcement made by the insurance companies that they would soon pay losses of the fire sufferers. It is believed that most of the money will be put into general circulation and when it is distributed will relieve the people of San Francisco as no other means could. This news was welcome, not only to the policy holders, but also to the banks that have been doing their best for the public with the resources at their immediate command necessarily limited. It was official to the extent that it was given to the sub-committee of the citizens' general committee and duly reported at the general committee's daily meeting. The announcement was received with applause, news from the insurance interests having been awaited with much anxiety. With their announcement that losses will soon be paid the insurance interests have made the concession that salvage operations on property saved from the flames can be proceeded with safety. Policy holders may save anything they can find without fear of risking the loss of their claims for insurance. To a great extent the work of demolishing walls and clearing away debris has been postponed because of the doubt regarding the attitude the insurance companies would take. The insurance in the burned district is estimated by the underwriters at $200,000,000. At the meeting of the reconstruction committee to-day a resolution was adopted declaring that the wages for public and private employment at ordinary and unskilled labor should be $2.50 for nine hours. The resolution was adopted. This rate has been fixed by the Building Trades council. "Employers, pay your men something at least daily, so that they may be able to pay for their meals," is the request made to-day by General Greeley. AFTER THE DRUGGISTS: Washington.—The attorney general has made public the following statement: "The government has to-day filed in the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Indiana, a petition for an injunction against certain associations, corporations and individuals, comprising what is commonly known as the 'drug trust' of the United States. The parties defendant specifically named in the bill have voluntarily combined the better to control the prices at which proprietary medicines and drugs shall be sold to the consumer through the retail druggists, in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. "The parties to the combination include the Proprietary Association of America, the National Wholesale Druggists' Association and the National Association of Retail Druggists." The bill charges in substance that these associations, their officers, delegates and members are all engaged in a common understanding, to-wit: The business of manufacturing, buying and selling patent medicines and rugs and proprietary articles throughout the United States. That these associations and the members thereof have entered into a conspiracy to arbitrarily fix and regulate the price at which such articles shall be sold to the consumer and that they have established rules and regulations to enforce such an unlawful agreement by restricting the purchase and sale of such commodities to those members of the several associations who shall live up to the agreement. This suit is only another step in the comprehensive program of the administration to bring to their senses and within the law, business men who are steadily extending monopolistic practices to every branch of trade. The Department of Justice now has under way or in contemplation suits against at least ten classes of monopolies and out of them hundreds of suits may grow. NO SUNDAY SHAVES. Supreme Court Upholds Sunday Closing Law. Denver.—No barber shop in Denver may keep open on Sunday. The city ordinance providing for the closed shop on this day has been declared valid by the State Supreme Court in a decision written by Chief Justice Gabbert, which affirms a judgment in the lower court. Concurring in every respect with the chief justice was Justice Campbell, Justices Gunter, Goddard, Maxwell and Bailey concurred in the affirmation, but are of the opinion that 1370 1st M. A. S. of the laws of 1893 quoted in the opinion, are not involved, and, therefore, expressed no opinion as to the construction of such law. In their judgment, however, the ordinance is not subject to objection as class legislation. The Journeymen Barbers' Union No. 205 of this city is pleased with the decision, and expresses thanks to the ministers and the Law Enforcement League for their efforts to have this decision sustained. The news has spread throughout the country, and the local officers have received telegrams from the national executive officers and the unions in all the large towns of Colorado congratulating them on their victory. To Repair Government Buildings Washington.—Secretary Shaw has submitted estimates to the House today of amounts necessary to be appropriated to repair the government buildings in California wrecked by the earthquake. The House committee on appropriations has planned to take this matter up and bring in a special appropriation bill, covering the items. The estimates include $10,000 for the appraiser's stores building; $20,000 for the sub-treasury, the lower story and roof of which is damaged; $65,000 for the mint; $500,000 for the postoffice, court house, etc.; $6,000 for the revenue cutter house, which was totally destroyed, making in all $611,000 for San Francisco.

CONDUCT AT THE ALLIANCE The Colorado Statesman has not refrained from making mention of the good things done by the Alliance and commending the organization in its uplifting purpose, but the conduct last Sunday (notwithstanding the cause) was an everlasting disgrace and reprehensible to the last degree. It reflected dishonor not only upon the immediate participants but also upon the organization and the race, and shows that the Negro has not the wisdom or power to restrain his feelings and follow out the end which he seeks in a calm and lawful way. Display of feeling is usually followed by impassioned language and undignified acts. It shows that the Negro's training is a veneering rather than thorough, and that he depends upon bulldozing and force rather than reason. All that was accomplished might have been done in a different way. The alliance by the same discretion was compelled to move out of the church for undignified deportment and now it will be compelled to vacate its present quarters. Until the Negro learns to control his oratorical efforts and language and bring his voice and feelings within the range of good judgment he is certain to prejudice his cause, however worthy it may be, but when a speaker leaves his seat and rushes at the presiding officers he clearly demonstrates that it is feeling rather than sense and ability that he wishes to have recognized. The disorderly members of the alliance owe an apology to the people whose rights were imposed upon and whose intelligence was insulted by the unruly members. NOW IT IS UP TO THE VOTERS. An honest ballot and a fair count will bring the people to the front in favor of the franchises. Now is the time for colored voters to strike one for a larger Denver. The hot fire under the political pot has set the people to thinking what they can best do to deliver Denver into the ranks of prosperity and the city into the progress column. The only thing that will do it is to vote for the franchises. There are four special franchises that you ought to mark "yes" to. First the Northwestern Terminal Railroad Company. After spending several million dollars in constructing their lines to this city and opening up one of the richest territories in the world. Are they now to be shut out of Denver? Common sense, business interests and the general public will say no on the 15th of May, and each voter for a larger and greater Denver will vote "yes" to this question at the bottom of his ballot. That means score one for the progressive voter. The second franchise that you ought to say yes to is that of the Union Pacific railroad. This is the pioneer line that has opened this great Northwest to settlement. The purpose of this franchise is to enable this road to deliver its goods to the great warehouses along Blake street, thus facilitating business and commerce in the warehouse districts. No harm can come to the voters or the citizens of Denver in granting this franchise in the interest of better business facilities to the railroad and merchants. Therefore the word "yes" put after this franchise shows the voter to be level-headed and concerned in the interest of Denver. The third franchise to be marked "yes" is the Denver Gas and Electric Light Company. You are certainly concerned in cheaper gas and more economical rates. You certainly want a "City of Lights," not only for the down-town portion but out in the resident district. You certainly want to save the city money by getting $60.00 lights, where other cities are paying $65, $70, $75, $80, and even $100 per annum per light. If Denver can get these same lights for $60 then it shows good business judgment for you to vote to save expenses not only to your neighbor, but to yourself, by voting "yes" after this franchise. And now lastly the Tramway company. This is the poor man's carriage. The rich ride in automobiles and carriages with liveried coachmen, but the laborer and artisan must use the public conveyance which is the street car system. Don't you want the street car lines extended? Don't you want transfers at intersecting lines? Don't you want half fares for your children to and from schools and when they go down town on errands? If you want any and all of these things there is only one way to procure them and that is to vote "yes" for this franchise. The facts are that these four franchises mean progress for Denver and better times for you and you certainly ought to vote for your individual interests. Frequent and quick service on the Union Pacific railroad and the Moffat road. Better and larger transportation on the Tramway. Cheaper and more light for your home and the city means a larger and better Denver.. By voting "yes" after each of these franchises you are following the direct line of progress. By voting otherwise you are side-tracking prosperity and inviting calamity. Because an extension of each and every one of these franchises means increased property values, greater bank clearings, more work for the unemployed, more business for everybody, more money in circulation, and will score a big thing for you and for everybody else. Therefore follow the procession and vote "yes" after each franchise, and you will have done your duty on May 15th. Communicated. Hearing that there was to be a business meeting of the Peoples Alliance which meant a great deal to Denver's colored citizenship I made it convenient to attend this meeting last Sunday afternoon. Before I go further with this article I would like to state that the Alliance is supposed to be composed of Denver's leading colored citizens and to an extent this is true, but to a still greater extent, to be judged by the disgraceful things that took place at this meeting, this supposition is grossly exaggerated. It was quite evident from the beginning, even to a stranger, that there were those present who meant to carry their point regardless of cost. Before the meeting had scarcely begun its routine of business an attempt was made to depose the chairman, not so much on account of incompetency, but because he wasn't ruling to suit a political clique. Some of the threats made on the president and some of the fist-shakes in his face would have doubtless caused serious trouble had not he been an extremely cool headed man as he is. Before the meeting had progressed thirty minutes many self-respecting ladies and gentlemen left the hall out of fear of bodily injury or a ride to jail in the police patrole. Politics was the cause of all this trouble and it is politics which will bring disaster to the Alliance. On account of taking on a political hue the Alliance was driven from Zion's walls. One other most notable feature of that meeting which should have, but did not lend dignity, was the part played by a few women. I was convinced more than ever of the ruinous effect of politics upon Grand Benefit GIVE Holley's Famous 1 Assisted by the population of D nity.

It will be a pleasure for the society people of Denver to know that the Rhine Cafe at 1129 19th street is under new management, Mrs. E. A. Scott, being the proprietor. The grand opening which will take place next Thursday evening May 17th is looked forward to as a real first class social event. Mrs. Scott has a large circle of friends who are speaking in the most flattering terms of the first-class manner in which this up-to date cafe is conducted. The meeting of colored citizens and taxpayers at East Turner hall Thursday night was largely attended. It was held in the interest of the franchises and was presided over by Dr. P. E. Sprattin. The speakers pointed out many logical reasons why the colored voters should support the Dever Gas & Electric Go., Denver Tramway Co., Northwestern Terminal (Moffat) Railway Co., and the Union Pacific Railway franchises. Besides the music by Holley's famous orchestra the Denver Club quartet rendered some choice selection. The Life Line club met on April 26 at the home of Mrs. Roundtree. The meeting was well attended and splendid reports were made; the sick had been visited and their needs alleviated, flowers, fruit, books and magazines had been distributed among the sick of our own race in the hospitals. One case of destination reported by the president, was that of a young consumptive from New York, who, like many others come to Colorado's sunshine too late, and realizing this had only one wish and that was to return home to die. The club received the assistance of the Central and Zion Baptist churches and for him a ticket and berth, lunch, medicino and money and he was sent home blessing the Life Line club of Denver. A letter has been received from his sister telling of his safe arrival and thanking the good people of Denver for their kindness. Next meeting will be held at Mrs. Kate Bushnell 2248 Lawrence St., May 18, at 8 o'clock. All members are urged to be present.

National Thanksgiving Service. The twelfth Triennial session of the National Grand Lodge will convene at Lexington, Ky. July 30, 31, August 1, 2, and 3rd. 1906. It is hoped that each Temple, Lodge and Juvenile department which have not paid their taxes will forward them at once to the State Grand Master or the State Sec'y. i.e. their Masters and Princesses must see that these taxes are paid at once for January '06 as July is almost on us and also the twelfth Triennial session of the National Grand Lodge. Bear in mind Worthy masters of lodges and Worthy Princess of Temples that no delegate will be admitted in the Grand session at Lexington, Ky. whose taxes has not been paid and other assessment required of them in their respective states, also, their credentials must be properly signed by the State Grand Master and the State Sec'y and the state seal. Sorry to say that there has been much indifference among our brothers who claim to be pioneers of our grand and noble order, into the state of Colorado. As a whole the sisters have been very loyal and have their minds made up to become a great power in Colorado. Sister Wilson of Trinidad and chairman of the Trustee board of order in the state made such a rousing report and read such an able paper touching the duties of the officers, until it brought about great interest among the S. M. T. at large. So, mother Temple No. 1, has called two meetings since the Grand lodge and in these meetings, they discussed three propositions, and out of them, decided upon one which will be for the upbuling of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and the Juvenile department in Colorado and sister states. The representatives of the project will be S. M. T., in Trinidad, Pueblo, Colorado Spring, Canon City, Boulder, and Washington, brothers are admitted. Now brothers, let us lay aside the clothes of narrowness, selfishness and contention and let us follow! follow!! follow!! since we will not lead. Yours in J. M. T. and the work. W. R. RHODES, S. G. M. 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.

Chicago—Corruption of rattroad em- ployes and agents of indepen ient oil companies, dishonest methods of pro- curing land leases, the giving of short measure and the selling of three differ- ent kinds of ofl out of the same tank, and misrepresentations, as to the qual: ity of the oil sold, were charged azainst the Standard Oi Company at Wednes- day’s hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission, Incidentally it was charged that the "Frisco road gives a rate of 2 cents a hundred to the Standard Oil Com- pany, when it charges competitors of that corporation ten times as much for the same haul. The inquiry was held under an order of Congress, and the session was along the same lines as that held some time ago in Kansas City. ‘An important witness was FE. M. Wilhoit of Springfield, Missouri, for: merly for ten years agent of the Stand- ard Of! Company at Topeka, It was he who made the charge of bribery and dishonesty against the company and said that the ‘Frisco road discrimi- nated in favor of the Standard Oil Company. Other witnesses for the day were H. , Deran of of Fremont, Ohio, and R. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe railroad. Mr. Wilhoit sald that while in the employ of the Standard Oi Company he had, in following out the instruc- tions of his superior officers, bribed clerks in the offices of railroads and employes of independent of] concerns in order to obtain information of the details of the business done by the rivals of the Standard Oil Company. He declared that agents of the Stand: ard Oil Company are held personally responsible for all ofl sold in their ter- ritories by independent companies. He said that the drivers of tank wagons are expected to keep up their stock by selling 205 to 208 gallons from a wagon load of 200 gallons. He said the actual tests of the prod: ucts of the Standard Oil Company to determine the quality are carefully guarded and that when it was found necessary to cut the price to meet the figure of a competitor, a cheaper qual ity of oll was substituted and guaran teea to be of a higher grade than it really was. Mr. Wilhoit said that frequently three grades of ofl were sold from the ‘same tank by agents of the Standard Oil Company. Several letiers were read by the wit- ness in which he was instructed to watch shipments in his territory and report the name of every customer of the independent concerns and the amount and quality of ofl received by him. He said that he had bribed clerks in the offices of the Rock Islangy Santa Fé and Misouri Pacific to sive him lists of shipments to the customers of independent companies. He also told of bribing teamsters in order to obtain information. “Did you ever give short measure to your customers?” asked Commissioner Prouty. “Well, we did not call it that,” re- plied the witness, ‘I was frequently advised by agents of the company that my stock was not showing up as it should and was told that it was a sim- ple matter to sell 205 to 208 gallons from a 200-gallon load of oll. ‘The com- pany explained this by saying that oil expanded in the wagon.” Attorney Miller for the Standard OW Company broke in at this point to In- quire the scope of the investigation. He said that {t was his understanding that the power of the commission was limited to an investigation of the rela- Uons of the company with common ear- riers and that so far not the slightest evidence upon that point had been given. He was opposed, he ©'1, to the raking of muck and scandal by going back ten years in history. “For your information I will assure you that the Standard Oil Company is doing the very same things to-day,” said Mr, Wilholt. | “I object to that statement,” shouted Attorney Miller. Commissioner Clements, in answer to the inquiry of Mr. Millér, said that it was desired to obtain all the infor- mation possible and report it for the consideration of Congress.

The day was notable for the number of bills passed, forty- five in number, covering a wide range of subjects. Although Speaker Cannon started in bravely to ignore the fact that he is seventy years old to-day, he was forced soon after the House convened to re linquish his gavel and retire to his pri- vate room, where senators and mem- bers demanded audiences and tele- grams of congratulation came thick and fast. Among the bills passed were the fol- lowing: To punish the cutting, chipping or boxing of trees on the public domain. To amend an act concerning leases in the Yellowstone National park. Granting additional lands in the Fort Douglas military reservation to the University of Utah. To provide for the subdivision and sale of certain lands im the state of Washington.

FIRST-CLASS Fresh and Cured Meats THE ANTHRACITE AGREEMENT. Terms of the Former Arrangement Will Prevail for Three Years. New York—After carrying on nego- tlations for nearly three months, the sub-committee representing the an- thracite mine workers and operators of eastern Pennsylyanis, have agreed to continue the award of the strike commission for another three years, or until March 31, 1909, and the men will return to work as sood as prac- ticable, probably Monday. All miners who have not committed violence against persons or property will be re-empleyed, and no one will be discriminated against because of any action he may have taken in the strike movement. The agreement {s subject to the rati- fication of the tri-district convention of mine workers at Scranton to-mor- row, but there is not the slightest doubt that the delegates will approve the action of their representatives. This outcome of the dispute which threatened to develop into a long, bit- ter struggle and paralyze a great in- dustry, was looked upon with satisfac- tion by the coal road presidents, as the agreement entered into 1s their first proposition, made early in March, in reply to the mine workers’ original demands.

UNITED. STATES SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PRAISES PE-RU-NA. Ex-Senator M. C. Butler Ex-Senator M. C. Butler. Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh of the Stomach—Peruna Relieves Catarrh of the Stomach and Is Therefore a Remedy For Dyspepsia. Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator from South Carolina for two terms, in a letter from Washington, D. C., writes to the Peruna Medicine Co., as follows: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine, besides a good tonic." CATARRH of the stomach is the correct name for most cases of dyspepsia. In order to cure catarrh of the stomach the catarrh must be eradicated. Only an internal catarrh remedy, such as Peruna, is available. Revised Formula. "For a number of years requests have come to me from a multitude of grateful friends, urging that Peruna be given a slight laxative quality. I have been experimenting with a laxative addition for quite a length of time, and now feel gratified to announce to the friends of Peruna that I have incorporated such a quality in the medicine which, in my opinion, can only enhance its well-known beneficial character.

Hewitt, who has been giving a number of lectures on Japan was present and met the Japs in a social way. He also made a short and interesting talk, during which he spoke in both languages. Some of the Japs then sang a number of love and war songs of their native land as well as their national anthem. The members of the league then served light refreshments and the evening was a delightful one. A plan is being perfected to secure the regular service of a noted teacher for the Japs. About fifty members of the local colony last night entered a club, which will perfect plans to secure this teacher, who is now in San Francisco.—Pueblo Chieftain. Salt From Sea Water.

Unofficial returns from the school census show an increase in Cripple Creek of twenty pupils over last year. Victor has lost 200. The outlying towns have gained practically all that Victor has lost. Total decrease from the district, 166. Total number of children of school age, 3.344. The Cathedral Fund Association has been incorporated at Denver for the purpose of receiving donations of money and property to create a fund to aid in the construction, erection and furnishing of a cathedral church. The directors are John C. Martin, William Sayer and Herbert Fairall. Carleton Northcutt, son of Judge Jesse G. Northcutt, and John Hendrick son of J. J. Hendrick, city attorney of Trinidad, have passed the final examination for admission to the naval academy at Annapolis. Both were born and raised in Trinidad and received their appointments through Congressman Hogg. Plans for the entertainment of the Missouri Pacific Immigration Bureau in Denver in June provide for a state dinner to be given by the Colorado State Commercial Association on June 12th, a trip over the Moffat road on the following day and an automobile trip through the city of Denver itself on the morning of June 12th. Perry Beeney, George W. Ball, sheriff of Washington county, and Ezra Stone appeared before Judge Robert E. Lewis of the federal court at Denver, May 2d, to answer to an indictment returned by the federal grand jury charging the two first with gross land frauds, and the last with cutting timber from government reserves. On May 2d Lige Yoakum, a young man of twenty-one years, working with a gang of lumber choppers at Carlisle, near Portland, in Fremont county, where they are getting out ties for the new electric railroad, had his foot severed from the ankle at the sawmill used in the camp. He was taken to Graves' hospital in Canon City. Mrs. Julia M. Bayley, wife of the Rev. Frank T. Bayley, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church in Denver, died of pneumonia at Snohomish, Washington, on the 3d inst. Mrs. Bayley had only recently reached that place on a visit to her son, the Rev. Dwight S. Bayley. She had been a resident of Denver for seventeen years. Denver's last carload of clothing was shipped by the Chamber of Commerce Relief Committee to Oakland to be distributed by the Colorado Relief Society among suffering hundreds who formerly called Colorado their home, and the contents of the car are now clothing, warmly and neatly many who lost their all in the San Francisco catastrophe. Counterfeit silver dollars bearing the mark "O" of the New Orleans mint, and stamped with the dates 1898, 1896 or 1901, are being circulated in Denver, and a large number of the coins have been passed on tramway conductors in the last week. The coins are underweight, have scarcely any ring to them, and most of them have been merely washed in silver. The first forty-five miles of the Northside canal of the Pathfinder irrigation project on the North Platte river were completed April 30th. This canal was built jointly by the government and the North Platte Irrigation & Colonization Company, of which H. D. Lingle of Denver is chief owner. It will reclaim 23,000 acres of corporation land and a large area of public land living in Wyoming and Nebraska. The Moffat road has reached a point beyond Sulphur Springs and a new station has been established at Paschal. Track laying is progressing daily, and freight is being moved west of Sulphur Springs by every train that goes over the range. Kremmiling, the point which will be the terminus of the road during the present summer, is being rapidly built up, and will be a thriving town. The freight business over the line is assuming large proportions. Edward Springer of La Veta shot and instantly killed Aurelio Ezparsa near Sunnyside last Sunday night. The killing was kept quiet in order to prevent possible trouble from friends of the dead man. Springer had left his horse tied in front of a saloon and a friend took it and rode it to the Rocky Mountain mine. Springer telephoned to the mine for his horse and the man who rode it away sent it back by Ezparsa. Springer met Ezparsa on the road riding his horse and immediately shot him dead. Rev. Mr. Millsap, a Methodist minister of Gardner, was an eye-witness to the killing. Springer had been drinking. The exemption clause of the state inheritance tax law must be applied so that each heir under the estate must receive the benefits of the exemption, according to an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court. This practically invalidates the law and will deprive the state of much revenue. In settling the estate of Jacob Koenig, the County Court of Weld county so divided it that the inheritance tax due the state amounted to a little over $2. Judge Southard did this by interpreting the exemption clause to mean that each heir was entitled to the $10,000 exemption, and the Supreme Court upholds this interpretation. On April 1st last there had been paid into the state treasury from the estates of Colorado the sum of $54,678.10. As most of this had been paid under the attorney general's interpretation of one exemption of $10,000, the state owes to the heirs of the estates affected a large portion of this total amount. There is no way of redistributing the money, unless by act of the Legislature. WORST CASE OF ECZEMA. Spread Rapidly Over Body—Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged—Marvelous Cure by Cuticura. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try Cuticura, and I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; and in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N.

Cats in London are often a nuisance to the householder when they fight upon the roof in the middle of the night, but in Paris, especially near the Halles Centrales, they are said to have become a public danger. It appears that these animals swarm in thousands all over the markets, and, as most of them are mangy and otherwise diseased, it is feared that they will contaminate the goods set out for sale, so the police have issued an edict that all the stray cats are to be captured and put into a lethal chamber, and as a consequence the kind-hearted market women have adopted many of the cats and now claim them as their own property. Bus M. Guichard, the police inspector in charge of the markets, will hear of no mercy, and the offending animals are to be slaughtered without delay. The police are to surround the market and to carry sacks in which to put the captured cats. What is to be done if the cats escape on to the roofs is not stated. Course in Agriculture. While Massachusetts is disposed to pay increasing attention to technical education, Vermont is planning to make elementary study of the general subject of agriculture a part of the regular public school course. The state superintendent of education is in charge of the movement, and a series of meetings to be held in different parts of the state will serve to awaken general interest in the plan. The main point in view is the general advance of useful education. REPAIRING BRAIN A Certain Way by Food. Every minister, lawyer, journalist, physician, author or business man is forced under pressure of modern conditions to the active and sometimes overactive use of the brain. Analysis of the excreta thrown out by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate of potash, separating it from its heavier companion, albumen, and plain common sense teaches that this elemental principle must be introduced into the body anew each day, if we would replace the loss and rebuild the brain tissue. We know that the phosphate of potash, as presented in certain field grains, has an affinity for albumen and that is the only way gray matter in the brain can be built. It will not answer to take the crude phosphate of potash of the drug shop, for nature rejects it. The elemental mineral must be presented through food directly from nature's laboratory. These facts have been made use of in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and any brain worker can prove the value of the proper selection of food by making free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days or two weeks.

In other countries the growth of discontent is chiefly, if not wholly, due to the excessive supply of labor, says the Chicago Journal. But in the United States the demand for labor greatly exceeds the supply. The difficulty is that labor crowds into the already congested cities and will not even in extreme necessity go into the country, where it is lacking. President Hill of the Great Northern railroad says that "in the West prosperity is everywhere in evidence. The only drawback is a scarcity of labor. As a matter of fact, labor is so scarce that many farmers are selling a portion of their land because enough labor cannot be obtained to carry on operations on a large scale." We hear the same complaint every year. Throughout the fertile and prosperous West crops go to waste in great measure because labor enough to care for them cannot be bad at any price. Meanwhile cities like Chicago are overflowing with unskilled laborers, who have nothing to do but grumble and talk of that new millennium they call Socialism. During all the years since the war the urban population of the country has been growing at the expense of the rural population. Though of late the farmer's life has been relieved of most of the loneliness and discomforts that used to make it less desirable than city life in those respects and he now has free delivery of letters and newspapers, telephone connection and rapid transit by trolley lines almost everywhere, yet most farmers' sons head for the cities as soon as possible and the cities receive by far the largest proportion of immigrants. Aside from the inconvenience and 'distress this tendency produces, it is not a good omen for the Nation's moral or physical health. The lure of the city is in most cases a lure for unwholesome desires—the desire to get rich quickly, to procure enervating and demoralizing luxuries, to enjoy those dissipations which thrive wherever great numbers of men and women are huddled together.

We refer to that boon to weak nervous, a favorite Prescription, known as Dr. Pierce's Favoring Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff of THE ELECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helianthus Diotae) which is one of the chief ingredients of the "Favorite Prescription": "It is variably acts as a uterine invigorator * * * * makes for normal activity of the entire reproductive system." He continues "in Helianthus we have a medical condition where the patient has purposes than any other drug with which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is treated with this remedial agent. Dr. Fyfe further says: 'The following are among the leading indications for Helianthus (Unicorn root). Pain of the uterus (atomic weak) conditions of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the uterus, sensation of heat in the region of the kidneys; menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weakened condition of the reproductive system; menstrual periods; arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and anemic (thin blood), habit; dragging itself in the extreme lower part of the abdomen." If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredients of the root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent ingredient of "Favorite Prescription," Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Medical College, Chicago, says: "The root is the leaders of the womb. In all cataract conditions * * * and general enfeeblement, it is useful." Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root; "In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is intended to regrow it as the tonic useful in all debilitated states." Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal: "Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menorrhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenorrhhoe (deliberate constipation). Dr. Pierre's Faworth Prescription faithfully represents all the above named ingredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended.

A series of great concerts in Boston net a loss of $1,800. The Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra falls behind its expenses in the sum of $40,000. In Chicago the fine organization founded and trained by Theodore Thomas is able to pay its way only with the bourgeois help of "rentals," says Life. It is about so everywhere and still the purveyors of music do not learn that ordinary mortals creep before they walk and walk before they fly. Whatever symphonies may be to the adept, they are noise to the general and only now and then some adventitious circumstance, some occasional fad or foible will put the general in the mind to pay out their good money to be bored. The music which hath charms to separate the savage from his coin is the music which he esteems as such and with precisely that sort of thing will they have to begin who would lift him to higher levels.

TEST FOOD a prepared for man, woman and child is PRICE'S THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WOMAN SOME SMART STYLES. If you, or any member of your family, can do fine handwork, you are most fortunate this year, for this is the day when the pushing, boastful sewing-machine must take a back seat. Hand-sewing has "come in" with a vengeance, retiring machine-made work into the background with the folk that set the pace in dress. And so the modest little woman with skill in her fingers may make for her own women folk the fashionable frocks and biosies of the day that will compare with the $30 and $20 lingerie waist purchased at the shops. A good pattern secures the right cut, the hand-work is then the whole thing. Even the seams nowadays are made by hand, and the sewing of yards of frilling and insertion and lace. Yesterday we saw a lovely white mult trimmed with cream-colored lace and insertion, very simply trimmed, but the work so exquisite, the design so becoming, we voted it the prettiest blouse noticed thus far. The weurer's whole costume was worth mentioning; a white mohair skirt, a long black silk cloak, a beautiful white ostrich feather boa, a black chip hat with one white plume, shiny black shoes and gloves. Black and white looks chic again, is particularly effective for a woman with black eyes, seems to intensify their darkness. A neat little black and white costume, easily reproduced, consisted of a plaited cloth skirt, white mull blouse, and a most attractive girdle wrap. The deep girdle was almost a coat in itself, and really became one by the addition of an upper-shoulder part which was more than shoulder straps and yet not a bolero. The dainty wrap was adorned with rows of frills of narrow black ribbon, and looked quite dressy. For the ordinary summer day such a dress would be just right for comfort, the upper part being adjustable, easily slipped on or off. Black silk gloves, of course, have gone up in price now that the heavy kid ones are getting a bit warm. Time was when one could get a nice pair Fashions for the Little Ones Fashions for the Little Ones Spring days and consideration of folk at the springtime of life. How the mother loves to plan the clothes for the wee lads and lassies—at least it should be a pleasure rather than a burden, even if the pocketbook is an o'er slim one. Such dear little things can be made for a song, remnants be picked here and there and turned into guimpe and blouse and even whole frocks. Children's millinery this year is very picturesque, the granny bonnets as quaint and becoming as can be. For girls entering their teens there are half-bonnet affairs like the one shown in the accompanying illustration. The whole costume is designed for a girl of 12, the dress a dark blue serge style is given by the smart collar and tie, and daintiness in the lawn frills, which may be either of pale blue or of ecru lawn. The hat is trimmed only with ribbon, which is drawn through a cut in the rim in front and fashioned into a large rosette, ribbon falls over the hair at the back. Elbow sleeves are used for little girls' frocks even more than for the mammas—if possible everybody now appearing in cut-off sleeves. Manmas affect short coats, also do small girls affect the jaunty jacket. The reefers, so popular for some time back, hold their own still. A reefer is easy to get into, has warmth where needed, is not burdensome. Those made of cloth and trimmed with white collars and cuffs are in excellent style. Everything should be tubbable until the child is old enough to keep clean without constant reminding. There are heaps of ready-made collars at all prices, offered at the stores, and they help out a home-made garment wonderfully. Women fond of needlework will make lingerie bats for their little girls and embroidered lawn caps for the baby. Designs for these are easily procured, and though they take considerable time to complete, they are the prettiest thing shown in children's millinery. Long-waisted linen dresses look so cool and comfortable, and many, of them will be seen this summer. They may be bought ready-made, or easily fastened at home. The loosest coat in elbow length for one dollar, but a few days ago we found the price had been treblel. Let us hope the mits will not follow suit; we want to keep the elbow sleeves, but do not care to spend all our substance on "hand shuhe." With the tailored street dress there is nothing in better style than a simple sailor hat trimmed with pompadour ribbon. The high crowned sailors are preferred, although many smart low-crowned ones are seen. The peacock feather craze has been carried pretty far, but of late better taste has had its way, and in place of the yard-long, assertive tail, we see shorter feathers used. On a gray sailor three green peacock eyes that stood out just a little from the bow at the side, really made a decorative effect that was very pleasing. Each spring we wonder if materials ever were so soft and light and pretty, but surely the spring parade this year is unusually elegant. The dark costume is the exception, old and young go in for light colors, as well as light materials. Not only in auto and carriage are they seen, but they fill the streets. And we must chronicle the liking for red—a color usually considered too warm looking for warm days. All-red hats are affected—but if truth be told as a rule they are most unbecoming. Recently we observed a blonde-haired woman of our acquaintance sporting one of these hats of unrelieved gaudiness, and remarked what a mistake she had made. She looked sallow, faded, and usually she appears as fresh as a peach. Not a little gold and silver are seen, used for trimmings in both dress and millinery. A little gleam here and there often adds to the costume, but too much is tawdry. Many checked materials are employed with good results. The new suspender frocks are very pretty in these check suitings, the blouse always on the lingerie order. Later we shall have something to say about a checked silk frock and mull guimpa. A of fancy mixture is a satisfactory garment for slipping on over a wash-dress of an evening, and the mollish ones have a certain smart mannishness that miss no doubt approves highly. Lingerie hats match the frock in color with a pink chambray, a pink embroidered hat, etc. Of course the white wash-hat will look pretty with any summer costume, colored hats are merely a bit newer. Even quite tall girls will wear one piece frocks, and a pretty model has a box plait immediately down the front, extending from a short yoke of embroidery almost a square. Bands of embroidery are attached either side the insertion, forming shoulder pieces, loose on the outer edge. The sleeves are elbow length. A NEAT OUTFIT.

Coming events cast their shadows before, and the rustling of a stork's wings gives the up-to-date hostess an opportunity of giving a very novel and altogether the most attractive affair imaginable. All the world loves a baby, and I am sure when the little strangers arrive, they will be all the happler on account of the good time their mothers had at this "stork" luncheon. There were four honored guests, and six intimate friends, and they had conspired with the hostess to make the party a success. On "the" four chairs at the table bibs were tied; the favors were dalty celluloid gattles and white storks bore the place cards in their bills; but "the" four plates each bird had a baby done up in a small square of linen. The table centerpiece was a gilt cardle, with a canopy of dotted swiss tied with pink ribbons. Tiny pink rosebuds were scattered over the table with malden ferns. The napkins were folded like doll babies and were pinned with safety pins. Candles, fairy lamps and a number of little night lamps gave the illumination, while advertisements of all the baby foods adorned the walls; these had been cut from magazines and mounted on cardboard. There were also numerous "ads." of go-carts, high chairs and cribs. The menu consisted of celery soup, bread sticks, chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes, spaghetti and tomatoes; a fruit salad, ice cream served in round rings, with tiny bottles labeled "paregoric," angel food and chocolate, with the usual accessories of nuts, bonbons and olives. In the living room after the repast the guests found a large stork, some five feet high, which disgored various-sized packages when its wings were pressed. As the parcels were marked it did not take long for each one of "the" four to discern "whose was whose." There were dainty bootees, caps, bibs, and all sorts of things for the diminutive wardrobe, and a merry time ensued. At five the hostess served what she said was camomile tea, also a concoction made from anise seed, and "educator" crackers. On departing the guests received small boxes, which, on opening, revealed a soap baby and a doll's nursing bottle. The hostess made the large stork from cardboard, cotton wadding, some feathers which a kindly butcher saved, a bottle of mucellage, and black paint, with a good stork model to work from. The bird was held steady on the floor by white ribbons fastened to a hook in the ceiling. MADAME MERRL To Reduce the Abdomen.

CONCERNING COIFFURE. On the Vital Importance of Becoming Hair Dressing and of Keeping Tresses in Condition Tresses in Condition. Do you know how to frame your face? asks Mme. Julie D'Arcy, in the Chicago Chronicle. Giving lessons in coiffure building is the occupation of a girl who makes a good living in New York during the season. Springtimes she packs her trunk and goes to London and during August she is back again and at Newport. She follows the seasons and her patrons follow her. "Your beauty all depends upon your collure," she says. "You may be the most beautiful thing that ever stepped into a French-heeled slipper, yet you are spoiled if your hair isn't dressed right. People are just beginning to think about hair dressing and even yet they don't pay as much attention to it as they ought to. It is a thing that can be studied and studied again. "The beauty of the collure depends upon several things, the first of which LOW FRENCH COIFFURE. is variety. You must not always look the same. The woman who dresses her hair always the same way makes a great mistake. She looks tame and the same to you and you begin to think she cannot look any other way. "Secondly, the beauty of the collure depends upon the condition of the hair. Unless you know how to keep your hair in shape, thick, glossy and shining, you cannot hope to have a satisfactory collure. Your hair must be well groomed and brushed until it gleams. Without these characteristics the best hair dresser can do nothing at all. Her hands are tied from beauty's standpoint. "I am a coiffure builder, nothing else. I don't shampoo the hair and I don't treat it. I merely dress it. When it is ready to be put up I am called in and here my real work begins. I am required to build a coiffure which will be becoming, only this and nothing more. But I must make no mistakes. My reputation would go down hill like a rolling stone if I were to build an unbecoming head. "I never put a square woman into a parted coiffure. It would be fatal to her appearance. The woman who can wear her hair parted is the thin-faced woman of the sweet type. She can part her hair and look attractive. But not the square-faced woman. She, poor thing, must always wear her hair rolled high in a pompadour. Styles may come and styles may go, but the pompadour is always the thing for the square-faced woman of the plain type. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. Good macaroni is of a yellowish tint and does not break readily in cooking. Newspapers placed under carpets and rugs are most satisfactory, and by using a long stitch they may be sewn together on the machine, making squares as large as may be required. Turpentine is the best preventive for moths. Saturate pieces of brown paper with same, and place in boxes. Tea is one of the foods which it will not do to keep in a glass fruit jar. Tea loses its strength in strong light, and probably deteriorates in a weak light. A handkerchief wet with eau de cologne and held under the eyes will help to remove the dark lines that are caused by fatigue. A strengthening drink for the aged is made by boiling a tablespoonful of pure honey in half a pint of water. If you have a pan or bottle of soured milk, let it stand until it is thick. Put tarnished silver forks, spoons and small pieces into a shallow pan and pour the milk over them. Let them remain in the milk half an hour or longer, then wash them and rejoice in their brightness. Ink spots may be taken out of delicate white goods with chlorinated soda. A few drops poured on will make the ink disappear at once. It should not be used on silk however. Delicious mustard is made by first slicing an onion in a bowl and covering it with vinegar. Let this stand 48 hours, then pour off the vinegar into another bowl, add a little red pepper, salt, sugar and enough dry mustard to thicken to a cream. The proportions should be a teaspoonful of the pepper and salt and twice that of sugar, but tastes differ somewhat as to the quantity of sweet used. The easiest way to sprinkle clothes is to use a clean whisk broom that should be kept for the purpose.—Boston Budget and Beacon. To Friends in Mourning Cards of invitation should be sent to acquaintances and friends that are in mourning, giving them the privilege of declining.
