MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. COUNTRY PARTY RACE THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHALL BE FREE THE JOURNAL OF THE STATE Be Neighborly And Not Neglectful of Agencies for Good. Walter H. Stowers' Advice in "Our Neighbor," of Detroit, Michigan. VOL. XII. Be Neig And Not Neglectful of Aged Stowers' Advice in Detroit, It is interesting, and instructive as well, to note how closely Our Neighbor is clinging to the text, "Be neighborly." But we, as a peculiarly distinguished people in regard to certain prejudices, should stop to consider that asking one to be neighborly entails a counter duty of setting an example in the direction indicated. In trying to adjust this race situation many mistakes have been made, quite a number by ourselves and just as many, if not more, by our observers, both friends and enemies. We have now reached a stage in our relations with our fellows where each recognizes that mistakes have been made, and at the same time each is laying the blame on the other. This is no new trait, trying to get from under responsibility for conditions we have helped to make. When God chided Adam for eating the apple, he said it is the fault of this woman you gave me, and the woman in turn said it is the fault of this serpent you put in here. This fact seems to be patent in it all, in seeking for the neighborly feeling we have sought faithfully but not wisely. The Negro has had but little over a half century of a formulative period, either for character, energy, history or discernment. In the earlier days of this short period the vast majority of our men of force were committed to the religious cult of either the Methodist or the Baptist, and these two, until lately obtained almost to the exclusion of all others. More than this, we out-Heroded Herod in adopting the narrowness and bigotry that once characterized the rank and file of these denominations. One who has lived a half century can well remember when members of these bodies hurled the strongest philippics at each other and at other sects in general. Those times are history now, almost ancient history. On every side we hear the comment of the wonders of development and progress this age is producing. Invention and discovery add one marvel to another in quick succession. But no one of these is fraught with as much good to humanity, as this bringing together in neighborly touch, the ends of the earth by steam and electricity. ```markdown ``` It has created a broader spirit of charity, love and rejoice than has ever existed hitherto. We sympathise and rejoice with men and nations today which a decade ago we did not know. Reforms of this kind, to be permanent, must be a growth, not an ebulition. It must be expected for a time that men will make big claims to superiority, based on wealth or race, but it takes but one stroke of God or nature to make the whole world kin, or to teach it that "God so loved the world" and not races in it. No better illustration of this truth need be mentioned than that furnished by the destruction of San Francisco. A majority of the Negroes of this country have only touched the nem of civilization. Much unselfish sacrifice must yet be given; so it behooves us to seek with openness of spirit, from any source, that which the fulness of a generous heart offers. It is an axiom that a man cannot lift himself by his boot straps, neither can a race. It might be ventured in this regard, that no agency outside himself has contributed more to make the Negro a useful member of society and the community than the Catholic church and its individual members; nor has any agency done more for the alleviation of his distresses. It must be admitted that they have been sleeping during the last quarter of a century while the great Negro harvest has been garnered into storehouses, but that there is a rejuvenated activity cannot be questioned, when such men taken in connection with what they represent, as Cardinal Gibbons, and Bishop Ireland, are persistently proclaiming the gospel of good will and fellowship for their brother in black. We have a claim on the Catholic church that dates almost from the time of Christ. Among the early fathers who contributed so much in literature and influence to infant christianity were Clement, Tertullian and Origen, men with as much African blood in their veins as millions of American Negroes. Two of the first heralds of freedom for all men, black or white, were Catholics. Lofty in ideals and purposes, and irresistable stood Bishop Henri Gregoire, of France, and Daniel O'Connell, of Ireland, pleading and fighting for the slaves in the colonies of those two great nations. What they did, and how they did it must be fully understood to appreciate the influence their efforts have had on succeeding generations. Lincoln never gave utterance to more inspired thoughts than these two gems from a speech of O'Connell before the House of Parliament in advocating freedom for the slaves in the West Indies, an event which we now celebrate each first of August: "Whoever excepts a single man in his claim for right; whoever concents to the servitude of a single man, black or white, is not a sincere man. We must exhaust the patience of injustice and force the hand of Providence." After reading of the endeavors of men like this, we should thank God for men who will not keep silent when wrong is enthroned in the place of right, be they of any creed, race or politics. Our great and good President has said that any thing that elevates the Negro's character, improves his condition, or increases his capacity is worthy of our encouragement and support. This is as true of men as it is of agencies, for men set on foot the agencies. We not only need helpful agencies, but we should avail ourselves of every organized factor that tends to reduce the virulence of prejudice and bigotry, those twin evils of ignorance and intolerance. Unrest and distrust should be supplanted by confidence and faith. And there is no organization, civic or religious, in the world better enabled, because of its principles and its power, to aid us along these lines than the Catholic church. Were it needful to prove a conclusion, many Catholic of other lands might be mentioned who like Cardinal Levigere have given their lives to the African cause. But since Our Neighbor circulates very largely in Detroit, it would be wise to consider our neighbors at home, men who believe in giving every man an equal chance. Among those entitled to mention who were Catholics during their lives, are the late John Atkinson and Michael Brennan, both of hallowed memory. And while it is not customary to throw bouquets at the living, this contribution would be lacking were the names of Judge Alfred J. Murphy, Edward H. Doyle and Rev. Father Reilly, now of Adrian Mich., omitted from the role of those to whom the race is much indebted. There are many premises, on which the Negro can be congratulated, none more so than in the favorable comment his life, character and persistent effort toward that which is noblest and best, is forcing from unwilling lips. The following clipping is illustrative of the changing views of American sentiment: "Let us not condem too easily or sinfully the Negro because he, like ourselves, at times misuses liberty. But let us also reflect that there is less loss or decadence than we fancy, because this race is quietly yet surely putting on a new character, rising above animalism making itself respectable and respected, and giving the kindly qualities we once admired a wider sphere and nobler work in the home and community and service of Christ. Who Makes a Man's Place in the Social Economy? The individual fixes or makes whatever place he may have in the social order but that place will not be any more valuable to him or the community than the estimate placed upon it by the people who appraise it. There is no getting away from this proposition.—Atlanta Independent. Very well. The world has appraised the value of Toussaint L'Overture to be that of one of the most remarkable geniuses of his age, which was truthful in such, with Bonaparts and Wellington at the head of them; and Hayti has always been respected since then because the transcendant abilities of this man. Frederick Douglas was appraised by the world as one of the most brilliant orators of his times, and gave his race respect and dignity because of the splendid abilities which compelled the world to respect him. To-day Booker T. Washington commands the respect of the thoughtful people in Europe and America because he is a man of genius who by his taunts, and his work has compelled mankind to respect him and to appreciate his work. These great and good men made for themselves the place they occupied in the estimation of mankind. They created their own value, made their place among the elect of the world. As it has been and is with the individual so it is and will be with a race or nation. It must make its own place, fix the estimate upon its work, and mankind will accept it. Puschskin, the Russian, and Dumas, the Frenchman were not handicapped because they were part African in making for themselves a place in the literature of the world which will always be a high and commanding one. The world to-day has a higher estimate of the Japanese people that it had before the war with Russia was begun, because in that war the Japanese made a place for themselves which the other nations are compelled to recognize, because the Japanese are prepared to defend it with an effective army and navy. So it goes. We are the makers of the place we shall occupy in the estimation of our fellows, and the world concedes to men the place they have made.—Wichita Searchlight. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. One nervy sheriff handy with a Winchester, could easily put to flight the biggest mob of craven cowards that ever undertook a job of lynching. The town of Bellevue, Texas which was wiped off the map last month by a cyclone, and in which about 20 people were killed, was an exclusive white man's town, as Negroes were not allowed to reside there. The colored people of New Orleans are planning to have a theatre of their own. Those interested have raised $20,000 and intend increasing the sum to $50,000. If successful they intend erecting a first class theatre with a seating capacity of 10,000. Rev. R. D. Stinson, who is now in Boston, soliciting funds for Morris Brown College at Atlanta Ga., has received a letter from Mr. Andrew Carnegie in which he promise $12,500 for an industrial building when Dr. Stinson has raised a certain amount. James Williams, 102 years old died recently at the St. Clair county, Ill., poor farm, after a brief illness. He claims to be the first Negro to cast a vote for Abraham Lincoln for president. He was born in Tennessee and has no living relatives. Lincoln, Neb., May 14.—Arthur Moose, a night watchman at Crawford, Neb., was killed last night by a colored soldier from Fort Robinson.

In the case of the people or relation of Scoot Bibs against the mayor and city council of Alton, in which the Circuit Court of Madison county held that the city has a right to set aside a separate school for col- NO. 34 ored children, the Supreme Court today for the fifth time reversed the decision of the lower court. Mr. Calvin Johnson, a wealthy colored citizen of Knoxville, Tenn. has given a building valued at $2,000 to the Colored Young Men's Christian Association of that city in memory of his lamented wife Alice Johnson, deceased, Mr. Johnson is said to be one of the wealthiest colored men in the state and the colored people are enthusiastic over the donation. Chicago boasts of the only colored preacher-prizefighter in the country—Rev. "Bob" Allen by name but better known as "Stonewall." The other night he fought three spirited rounds to a draw. with Dickey McDonough, opening the proceedings with prayer. "Brother" Allen says prize-fighting, under proper auspices, is a manly and beautiful sport, and does not demoralize any one. Mathew Arnold, while on his visit to this country, is said to have been present at an Afro-American meeting in which he was astonished to see, as he thought, white and black people comfortably mingled; but his eyes opened still wider when he was informed that all, white and black alike were Afro-Americans. It is one of the absurdities of prejudice that in the South men whiter than Senator Tillman are forced into "Jim Crow" cars and refused permission to vote—that is, when their identity is unknown errors occur which cast a discredit upon the factitious discriminations of colorphobia. Such an error was made lately in the Supreme court at Raleigh, N. C. In this court are kept two Bibles for witnesses to swear upon, one appropriated to whites and one to Afro-Americans. It happened that Mr. E. A. Johnson, professor of law in Shaw University, was a witness, and he was handed by the sheriff a "Jim Crow" Bible. But the judge, deceived by Mr. Johnson's color, or lack of color, interposed and thundered out upbraidings to the sheriff for offering a white gentleman the Bible reserved for Afro-Americans. Before the judge's mistake could be rectified, Mr. Johnson was sworn on the "lily white" Bible, which has by now, we fear, fallen from its nigh estate. The joke is on colorphobia.—New York Age.

KIDNEY TROUBLES Increasing Among Women, But Sufferers Need Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease is on the increase among women. Mrs. Emma Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkhaw's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. "I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the couple organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at last report, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too high, and I tell every suffering woman about my case."—Mrs. Emma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.

EARTHQUAKES CONSIDERED Fear Expressed That Locks Would Be Unsafe—Shock at San Francisco Discussed—Minority Objections Answered. Washington.—That the earthquake which destroyed San Francisco was an important factor in determining the vote of the Senate Committee on Inter-Oceanic Canals in favor of a sea-level type is apparent from the fact that a feature of the majority report is a discussion of the effect such an earth wave might have on locks and dams. The majority report in favor of a sea-level canal was submitted Thursday by Senator Kittredge. On the subject of danger from earthquakes on the isthmus and the possible effect on the two types of canal proposed the report says: "The recent calamity that overwhelmed one of our great cities has caused many forebodings. The assertion that any particular spot in the tropics is exempt from all danger from such convulsions of nature as recently visited California or wrought great havoc near Charleston, S. C., in 1896, changed the face of nature in southern Missouri, near the beginning of this century, would not be hazarded by any wise man. That the Isthmus of Panama is not exempt conclusively appears and we can have no guaranty that the canal zone will in the future be exempt from such disaster. "The canal structures that would be most exposed to injury by the passing of an earth wave or violent movement of the earth's surface are the locks proposed by the minority, whose walls, many hundreds of feet, or even two or three thousand feet long at Gatun, would, at least some of them, be more than 75 feet high and entirely unsupported on one side save for a part of the height by water. "If these walls should be moved at all, the natural and probable result would be in their leaking and so prevent the closing of the gates—an injury for which a suggestion of extra gates on hand would be useless, for no one could guess the extent of the movement. But the most likely effect of such shock would be the fracture of these locks, in repairing of which much time—months or years—might be required, and thus cause interruption of traffic or the abandonment of the canal. "An earth dam on an alluvial base as proposed by the minority, might be fissured if the earthquake passed the locality, and if a crack in the dam or its base should open, the dam would go out, the lock drain, and the canal be ruined. "At San Francisco, where the water pipes were broken, the disaster was greatly augmented by this cause, for the water could not be held in the pipes and directed on the flames. What would happen to the aqueduct, conduits, pipes and valves, buried in the concrete walls, used for filling and emptying the locks, cannot be well conjectured." After reviewing the legislation and the messages of the President on the subject of the canal, the report says it is due to the executive branch of the government that the uncertainties confronting the President as to his powers in the premises be settled and disposed of affirmatively, once and for all, by the only national authority competent to pass upon the question—the national legislature. The division among experts as to the best type of canal is treated by the report, which says that the conclusion has been reached that the following propositions are irrefutable: "That the ideal canal is one at sea level; that its construction would be attended with no more and probably with less hazard than one with locks and dams on doubtful foundations; that the sea-level canal is safer and more convenient than one with locks; that it would take but little longer time to build; that it is the simpler and the more economical in operation and maintenance." WILL REBUILD STANFORD. Damage to Great University Less Than Reported. San Francisco.—Stanford University will be reconstructed at once, and by next December every building necessary to the work of the college will be in perfect condition. The work has commenced already and there is plenty of money on hand to assure the trustees that the repairs may be accomplished as quickly as they desire. A closer examination of the wrecked buildings shows the damage to have been not nearly as great as at first reported. The three most seriously damaged are the memorial church, the new gymnasium, and the new library. Of these the new library, probably will have to be torn down. The new gymnasium is still in a condition to be reconstructed. The memorial church is damaged probably to the extent of a quarter of its value. The walls of the building are uninjured and the tower is standing. The magnificent organ which it contained was not touched. School Land Suit. Denver.—In order to settle the question of the state's right to dispose of school land in spite of an attempt upon the part of the Legislature to assume this right, a friendly suit is to be started to which the Bijou Irrigation Company will be the other party. The last Legislature passed a law which provided that any school section suitable for irrigation purposes could be appropriated by an irrigation company with proper compensation to the state. The Bijou Irrigation Company desires to acquire a large reservoir site east of Fort Morgan, in the center of which is a section of school land. The State Land Board contests its right to take this section, claiming that it has the sole jurisdiction over the disposal of school land. The suit will determine the disputed point. BIG POWER DEAL CONSOLIDATION OF NORTHERN ELECTRIC PLANTS. LARGE INVESTMENT MADE Will Include Cheyenne, Boulder and Lafayette and Louisville Enterprises. Denver.—By the payment of $400,000 in cash to Senator Warren Monday the Northern Colorado Power Company completed the deal for the consolidation of the electric power plants of the northern district. Senator Warren came from Cheyenne for the purpose. He represented the stockholders of the Cheyenne plant. The deal for the purchase of the two plants of the Consumers' Electric Company, at Lafayette and Louisville, was also consummated Monday. The Boulder plant was purchased by this company last week, making $750,000 that has been paid out in the past ten days. A meeting of the directors of the Northern Colorado Power Company was held Monday afternoon, at which important action was taken. Last week the company was reorganized with a capital stock of $3,000,000. The local directors were all present yesterday and they let contracts for the machinery for the big power plant at Lafayette and ordered the issue of bonds. This latter was a formality, as the bonds have been floated and the money for $2,000,000 worth has already been paid in. Another million dollars' worth will be retained in the treasury and also two-thirds of the stock will be kept in the treasury unissued. The contract for power and transmission lines were let to Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co. and to Westinghouse & Parsons for the turbines. The contracts include the central plant, lines, main generating stations and sub-stations. The contract with Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co. amounts to $1,150,000 and is the largest power order ever made in Colorado. The company is now preparing plans and specifications for the immense central power plant to be erected at Lafayette, with the 167 miles of transmission lines which will permeate the northern part of Colorado and southern portion of Wyoming. The total amount to be invested will be quite close to $2,000,000 and the probabilities are that northern Colorado and southern Wyoming will be electrified from the one central power station by January 1, 1907. The Cheyenne plant includes something more than the electric light plant, because the company owned the city heating plant and other valuable interests which are taken over. Joseph J. Henry of this city is the representative of the eastern bankers and electrical manufacturers who are interested in this big corporation, and he states emphatically that it is not a concern of the Denver Gas and Electrical Company. For the reason that two of the officers of the new company have been employed by the Denver company that impression has gone abroad. The eastern directors of this company stand high in the world of finance. The board is composed of thirteen directors, the New York directors being, J. N. Wallace, president of the Central Trust Company; Edwin Hawley, chairman of the Frisco railroad and prominently identified with the Colorado & Southern interests; George C. Smith, vice president of the Westinghouse Securities Company, and Harry Bronner and H. W. Winterfeldt, members of the firm of Hallgarten & Co. New York City. The eight local directors are: Tyson Dines, Thomas Keely, W. J. Barker, Joseph J. Henry, W. H. Allison, Hon. F. E. Warren of Wyoming, William Mayher and C. C. Bromley. DEATH OF CARL SCHURZ. New York.—Carl Schurz, widely known as a publicist and former Cabinet member, died here early Monday morning from a complication of diseases, following an attack of stomach trouble, which became acute Thursday last. At the bedside were a son, Carl L., and two daughters, Marianne and Agatha; Edward L. Pretorius, Mr. Schurz's business partner, and Dr. Jacobi and Strauss. Mr. Schurz was seventy-six years old, having been born near Cologne, March 2, 1829. Forced to flee from the land of his birth before he had attained his majority, Carl Schurz soon became, and for more than half a century remained, one of the striking figures in the public life of the land of his adoption. Born in the village of Libelar, near Cologne, in 1829, Schurz became interested in the revolutionary movement in Germany while attending the University of Bonn, and when the uprising came in 1849, he served as an officer in the ranks of the insurgents. He was with Gen. Tideman when the latter surrendered the fortress of Rastadt in July of that year, and made an almost miraculous escape through the sewer connecting with the Rhine and fled to Switzerland. A year later he returned to Germany, under an assumed name, for the purpose of liberating his friend, Prof. Kinkel, who had been taken a prisoner at the surrender of the fortress and sentenced to life imprisonment. This daring and romantic project was carried to a successful conclusion and created a sensation throughout Europe. His marriage to Margaret Mayer, the daughter of a prominent merchant, in 1862, was an indirect outgrowth of the sensational rescue of his friend from prison. Soon after his marriage, Schurz came to this country, locating first at Philadelphia. Three years later he moved to Wisconsin, allied himself with the Fremont forces in the campaign, and took part in the campaign of the following year. During the succeeding twenty years he was one of the prominent figures in the political history of the country. He went to Spain as United States minister, in 1861, later resigning to return and serve in the Civil War, duing which he earned the title of major general.

The campaign has been short but spiri- ted. Every political short cut, trick, scheme and inyention has been resorted too to get votes, wires have been pulled, machines operated, trades made, dickers hatched, combinations effected, al- liances entered into, in order to se- cure votes. Now that the end has come and the people have shown their preference, let us accept the verdict cheerfully and all turn and boost for Denver. Every loyal Coloradian likes Denver though they sometimes differ as how to best serve her interest, yet be well assured of this fact, that upon one thing we are all agreed and that is; that Denver's interest is the inter- est of us all and that Denver's in- terest must and shall receive our first and best attention. There- fore let your motto be, “A strong boost and a boost altogether for a “Greater Denver.” TUESDAY'S ELECTION. — qumF As the result of the election last Tuesday and the triumphal viegory of the majority of the Republican ticket and franchises supported by this paper, Denver is now in the line of march to progress and pros- perity. This fact is already in evidence as the Denver Tramway and the Moffat Road are prepar- ing to begin the vast improvements promised before the election and the people are now confident of a “Greater Denver” and a. steady and growing business. We ex- tend to the successful ones or the Republicon ticket and to the men who represent the franchises sup. ported by us, our heartiest con- gratulations on the victory they achieved, and we also congratulate the colored voters of Denver wha were loyal tothe advice of the CoLorapo Sraresman in support. ing the ticket and franchises of our choice. It was by their sup. port that the Republicans and franchises owe their success, The unsettled business condi. tions that have existed in Denver for so long is now a thing of the past and we earnestly urge tha' our people get in line for the bet terment of their own conditions, Look wise into every favorable op. portunity and do not, by neglect let such opportunities pass. Raaressmaypas “THE MEN WITH THE MUCK RAKE.” a ae Now that the political contest is over and the campaign issues are set aside the politicians and citi- zens will take time to recover their breath bofore the fall campaign is upon us. Let us take time to say a few words about the “Muck Rake,” so carefully spoken by Pregident Roosevelt atid so loudly commended by the press and pub- lic. Even Denver colored citizens had experiences of this same thing for the past twoor three weeks, Grafter, tool, and pigeon stool, bought, sold out, are terms that have been freely spoken and charg- ed against men who have acted ‘conscientiously and in perfect good faith, Because your friends or neighbors differ with you on par- ‘ties or measures is yo reason to ‘charge them’ with corruption or ‘stigmatize them as grafters, trim- ‘mers or hierlings and attempt to ‘injure their reputation or standing ‘in the community. _ Let us learn to play the political game fair but above all be careful of the good name of your oppon- ents. Remembering that “a good ‘name is more to be choosen than ‘great riches.” HOW TU KEEP YOUNG aia “MODERATION IN ALL THINGS IS | RECOMMENDED. Men Who Have Lived to Advanced Age All Agree to This—Diet, of Course, One of the Most important of All Considerations, “Old age, as I have before remarked, is not such a bad thing if we do not permit it to slip up on us,” said a man in the New OrJeans Times-Democrat, “though it is often difficult to say just What method should be pursued in or- der to preserve our youth. It is large. ly an individual question, each man’s and woman's case differing somewhat from every other. Von Moltke at the age of 90 was still possessed of fine intellectual power and remarkable vi- tality. When asked how he managed to live so long and in such excellent health he replied: “By great modera- tion in all things and by regular out- of-door exercise.’ Crispi, the famous Italian statesman, said: ‘Regularity and abstinence are the secrets of long life.’ Neal Dow, the American apostle of temperance reform, replied when asked the question: ‘Refrain from fret- ting.’ Cornaro replied: ‘Extreme tem- perance in eating and drinking.’ These words from the lips of eminent men who lived to a wonderful old age are of intense interest, but they are not the cold and judicial advice of the scientist. Recently an eminent scien- tist_ worked out a plan the rules of which if followed carefully will result in the increasing longevity of one’s life, according to the approval of many other scientists. “Those who would live long, as de- duced from this plan, should avoid dis- ease, especially such as one is dis- posed to contract through inherited weakness. This is to be done by knowing one’s predisposition to dis- ease and exercising the necessary care in occupation, general habits and diet that will indefinitely postpone the at- tack to which one is predisposed from birth. Such care should be used in diet and general habits of life as will defer as long as possible the harden- ing of the coats of the blood vessels, that generally comes on before its natural time, and other deteriorations of bodily vigor that are the concomi- tants or equivalents of the physical conditions of old age. In old age the tissues dry up and the joints stiffen. The tissues shouid be kept moist and the joints well oiled. There should be moderation of eating and drinking, especially in regard to meat foods. The rule of moderation applies to the whole life, but the necessity for it is increased in old axe, when the organs and tissues are able to take up only & much smaller amount of nourish- ing material than in youth. Few peo- ple have an idea of the small amount of food required in old age. and the fear of many persons that by eating little they may lose strength is entire- ly unfounded.” He Must Have Been. Thé late Postmaster General Payne began life as cashier in a Milwaukee dry goods store, and the other day a Milwaukee man said of him:, “Payne, in his youth, was a most entertaining fellow. What particular. ly distinguished him wes the homely Vigor and the striking originality of his speech. “He and I had a mutual friend who drank too much. We tried to reform our friend, taking him out with us, keeping a watch on him—in a word, brooding over his welfare like a cou- ple of fond mothers. “One night our ward escaped from us. Payne found him at midnight. He told me the next morning how he had found him, and when I said: “Was he “drunk?” Payne with a little laugh of disgust, answered: “| don't say he was drunk. but this I will say: The last I saw of him he was washing his face in a mud puddle and drying it on a doormat.’” ‘Rie Shred. Geane, A Monroe county boy was discov- ered by the owner of an orchard in the act of stealing apples. The boy happened to see the owner in time w make a getaway. “Here, boy,” called the owner to the boy, who was hitting the gravel down the pike, “come back and you can have all the apples you can eat and all you can carry away.” Instead of going back, however, the boy kept right on going. Meeting an- other man in the road, who had beard the owner of the orchard call, the man asked him why he did not go back. “Well,” said the boy, “I did think for a minute I would go back, and then I looked again and saw that the fellow had one hand behind his back, and it sort o’ flashed through my mind that mebbe he wuz a durned Mar."—Kansas City Journal.

Why Do Mail Order Concerns Thrive ‘When Consumers Are Not Benefited?—The Home “Advertisement. ‘The increasing volume ob SuSsme. which is being directed from local dealers to the big mail order houses is threatening the prosperity of thousands of country towns and cities. ‘The busi- ness of these big concerns is multiply- ing: at an alarming rate, and if the ra- tio continues the ultimate demoraliza~ tion of business in many rural towns is a foregone conclusion, says Edward K. Slater, food commissioner of Minne- sota, in the Retailers’ Journal, Chi- cago. Who suffers the greatest financially? It is the business men of the communi- ty. Any disinterested person familiar with the ins and outs of the business ‘will concede that the consumer is not profiting at the expense of the home merchant. If this were true the con- sumer could not be blamed for taking the best end of the bargain. For the sake of the argument we will assume that the consumer is receiving just as good treatment at the hands of the mail order house as he does from his home merchant. The loss to the mer- chant must be somebody's gain. It Jollows, therefore, that the mail order house proprietor is the only one who 3s benefited. But the question naturally suggests itself, why does the business of the mail order house increase at such an alarming rate if the . consumers are not being beneflied? This is one of the greatest arguments advanced by the advocates of the mail order business ‘The answer is found in the fact that the purchaser responds to advertising ‘and he doesn’t tike to do business with @ country merchant who went to sleep soon after he opened up his business and hasn't waked up yet. That is the situation in a nutshell. The business of the mail order houses has been built up on advertis- ing, advertising, advertising! My department has been giving con- siderable attention to groceries shipped into the state hy mail order houses. ‘We have been trying to place before the consumers the fact that many of these goods are fllegal under our pure food laws, and that this department has no jurisdiction over such ship- ments. We cannot punish such violat- ors and thus pretect the consumers. as we are enabled to do when the goods are sold inside che state. It follows, as a matter of course, that this depart- ment desires to see goods only pur- chased through local dealers, so that all consumers will receive the protec- tion afforded by « strict enforcement of our pure food laws. The country merchant must do his duty if he desires to compete-with the catalogue house. He must beat him with his own weapon—advertising. He, too, must, have special prices on certain articles if he wishes to hold the home trade. Grocers and country merchants who think they are so located that they cannot advertise successfully should study the subject of advertising. There is probably no store, city or country, whose business could not be advertised successfully if the propri- etor only knew how and has the nerve ‘and patience to do it. There are a few country merchants in remote localities who have mastered advertising so suc- cessfully that mail order competition does not bother them. This idea that you have lived so long in a town that everybody knows you and you don't need to advertis» is a mistake. This very indifference to advertisin®, indif- ference to doing business the way busi- ness is done in this day and age, Is ‘what has enabled the mail order houses to grow from mere nothing ao great, concerns. ‘The merchant who can convince | People of his section and keep them convinced that his store is the best Place to buy this and that article will not lose trade to the mail order house. Of course, he cannot afford to get ont| a catalogue as thick as a Bible, but he can keep.an-advertisement in his.Jocal papers and see that it is changed every week, thus keeing new bargains con- tinually before the public. He should also have a maiting list and send out & circular letter at least once a month. Nothing 1s more discouraging than beginning an advertising campaign, Results are almost invariably slow at first. It takes pluck—you must keep at! it and master it. | Don’t look upon your country news- paper as an object of charity. ‘There 4s not a single country newspaper in your state, with a general local circu- lation, which is not able to give full value for money received.

ASTONISHING LAND VALUES United States and Canada Rich in Examples of Rapid Rise in Prices. To those who are skeptical of the wisdom of investing money in real ew- tate there are numerous instances of cities where every inch of land is of great value which haye been built upon¥ sites formerly sold for little or eyen given away. The United States and Canada are rich in such examples. Canada especially has been the scene of great bargains in land. During the first years of its history James I. mage fa free gift of the whole of Canada, t- | gether with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, to the famous Lord Stirling. Some 200 years later a member of the, suite of the governor of the colony "was granted 100,000 acres of land hy ‘William IV. | Later this was increased by the addition of 500,000 acres. Sixty ‘years later a Canadian land company was given 3,000,000 acres, 2,000,000 be- ing paid for at the rate of 60 cents an ‘acre, and the rest a free gift. As late as 1880 the Canadian government ac- ‘tually made the Scotch-Canadian com- pany a present of $2,500,000 in cash, as . a bonus, with a free grant of 25,000,000 ‘acres. As there were many conditions ‘as to the development of the territory ‘in the terms of the grant, the bargain was not so one-sided as it at first ap- ‘pears, é | Everyone knows that the whole of ‘Manhattan island was sold by the In- ‘dians for $24. Yet a plot of ground which was once « farm, and was grant- ed and still belongs to Trinity church, yields a yearly income of $10,000.000. Pennsylvania, the second most popu- lous state in America, containingé scores of prosperous cities, has an aren of about 45,009 square miles. This tract of land was given over to Wil- Nam Pinn in settlement of a compare- tively trifling debt which Charles Ty owed to Penn's father,and which he found himself disinclined or unable to pay in cash. ‘The same improvident king was the one who rented 2,700,000 square miles of the land about Hudson Bay for a yearly rental of two beavers and two elk per annum. This has proved to be one of the best speculations in land on record. Some 200 years after the deal the company of owners sold the major part of this vast territory to the Cana- dian Federation tor $2,500,000, and in the meantime it had been bringing :n an average Income of $500,000 a year. Not more than 270 years ago the present site of Liverpool was sold for $2,250 by a small London syndicate, who had bought il from Charles I. for less. The site of Jchannesburg and most of its gold mines, which are said to contain over $14,000,000,000 worth of the precious metz], were sold less than 30 years ago to an Englishman named Pratt for the sum of $1,500. In spite of its cheapness it was a bad bargain for him, for because of his activity in the first Boer war his property was confis- cated and he was driven to England in a penniless state. FORECASTING BIG FLOODS. Most Destructive Inundation for Fifty Years Accurately Foretold by Weather Bureau. Early in 1897 telegrams were posted in a hundred cities along the Missis- sippi, warning the inhabitants to pre- pare for tremendous floods. These warnings, says J. E, Watkins, In the ‘Technical World, went so far as to name the exact date—sometimes two or three weeks off—when the coming flood would be at its height, and even stated the number of feet above low- water mark the water would reach. They were signed by the chief of the weather bureau at Washington. The inhabitants of Cairo, New Oi- leans and o% the towns and cities be- tween read these sensational messages, looked out at the shrunken Father of Waters flowing calmly along within its banks and sniffed contemptuous!\® Ther were not going to be scared by & lot of fool scientists in Washington! Only a comparativery few timid people were at all alarmed or even impressed. These went so far as to moye theirs valuable property up’ onto high ground, and were well laughed at for their pains, Even the newspapers took the matter up, and scolded the govern- ‘ment for allowing the weather bu- reau to frighten neerlessly a lot of silly old women. Finally the date set for the coming of the flood arrived, and with ft came the water. The greatest flood for more than half a century swept down the Mississippi and overflowed more than 13,000 square miles of land. ‘The main Streets of a hundred towns and cities were under water; and, at some points Practically the only property not dam- ‘aged was that of the ridiculed people who had heeded the despised warning of the weather bureau. And ft was e:- timated that property to the value of $15,000,000 was saved, which would certainly have been destroyed but for the advance notice which {ts owners had been wise enough to heed. Jail-Breaker’s Offense. The charge against a man named Armstrong, who had made his escspe while being taken to jail, the other day, was: “That Armstrong got at large whithersoever he would, to thé great hindrance of justice and the evil example of all others in the Uke ca**, offending, and against the peace, of our sovereign lord the king, his crown and dignity.” Thoroughly Professional. “Did you say that she is a profes sional nurse?” “I think #0.

A TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO Lawrence Stephen Gives an Interesting Account of the Catastrophe. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stephen and H. J. Foster returned last Saturday from a few days' visit to San Francisco, the Golden Gate of the West which now lay in ruins as the result of an earthquake and fire. In an interview with Mr. Stephen he gave a very interesting and graphic story of the disaster and says the greatest immiginary description of the ruined city cannot be over exaggerated and that the real story is beyond the description of any human being. "The colored population," says Mr. Stephen, "is getting along fairly well, and the prejudice that had been framed against them by many of the whites seems to have been forgotten. I am informed by a prominent white man that only the day before the great shake-up a mass meeting was held by many of the real estate dealers in which they agreed not to sell any property to colored people or rent any more desirable property and to see that they were barred from eating at white restaurants. In all the foregoing agreements they met a sad dissapointment by the God of the universe, whose wrath works mysteriously to the wicked. "What is believed to be a further omen of the doomed city was the appearance of a red male bovine which mysterously appeared and disappeared on the streets the morning of the earthquake and it is yet an unsolved mystery as to where it came from or whither it went. Another incident which seems ty be a further warning is that there is not a cat or dog in the bounds of the once metropolis of the Pacific coast and many eye witnesses varify the story that they left the city in vast herds or droves. It is indeed a sickening sight to see the once great buildings of architectural art which towered in majestic splendor now leveled in a mass of ruin beneath which are dead bodies of human beings. "Frisco will, like the destruction of ancient Rome, occupy a prominent place in history, but I hardly believe any vocabulary of words can give an adequate description of the horror." PROCLAMATION.

Denver, Colo Denver, Colo. G. Denver, Colo MAKE QUEER NEIGHBORS By Singular Tide of Events Racetracks and Cemeteries Are Brought Together. How very strange it is that race tracks and cemeteries nearly always go hand in hand. The old Ivy City race course, which became a terrible stench in the nostrils of the national government, was midway between the Harmony cemetery on the northwest and the Mount Olivet cemetery on the southeast. It is now converted into a burying ground, says the New York Press. Famous old Guttenberg ("The gut"), place of a million crimes in racing, is to-day one of the loveliest graveyards beyond the Palisades. To reach the track of the Brooklyn Jockey club at Gravesend you must pass by several cemeteries and I have no doubt the track itself will soon become as good as a burial ground for dead men as for "dead" horses. To get to Gravesend (think of that name for a race track—the grave's end!) you pass half-way around beautiful Greenwood and split Washington cemetery into three sections. To reach the Sheepshead bay course of the Coney Island Jockey club via Thirty-fourth street ferry you are flanked on one side or the other by such homes of the dead as Calvary cemetery, New Calvary cemetery, Linden Hill cemetery, Lutheran cemetery, Cemetery of the Evergreens, Union Field cemetery, Fresh Pond cemetery, Cemetery of the Holy Cross, Kings county insane asylum, Mount Olivet cemetery, Mount Nebo cemetery, Cypress Hills cemetery, etc. To reach Belmont park you must take all these in and more. It is the same with Aqueduct and Jamaica. The most celebrated of all southern race tracks was converted into a cemetery not many years ago—the old Metarie track. Nothing like it ever was known in the north, and probably never will be. With that semi-French freedom of conscience, that lack of strict social restraint, the Metarie course was sul generis in its heyday. The infield was reserved for the "lorettes" above the canal and the frail sisterhood below it. In the grand stand only the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of the aristocracy were allowed to circulate. But again, with that semi-French freedom, the rich rakes of the upper ten, the swell bachelors, the young men with sweethearts among the elect of the crescent city, would think nothing of courting for an hour in the grand stand and then crossing to flirt for another hour with some lovely Thais, Phryne or Delilah. This was considered quite the proper thing. And Metarie is a cemetery! And Oaklands is next door! MISUNDERSTOOD DRUG LAW Pharmacy Act Passed in the Transvaal Regarding Poisons in Medicines. Much misapprehension appears to exist among American patent medicine manufacturers as to a new pharmacy act in the Transvaal, passed at the last session of the colonial council after a heated debate. It does not restrict the sale of any medicine containing poison, though the same must be labeled "Poison," and country store-keepers are not debarred from selling, as hitherto. Under an act passed a year ago all medicines containing poison must be so labeled, and every chemist has a list of the poisons in his store, so that if the medicine companies doing business in the Transvaal do not publish the formulas with each bottle sold they are subject to prosecution; in truth, the chemist is not permitted to let such medicines leave his store under penalty. If any of the following poisons are found to be contained in a formula the bottle must be labeled "poison:" Almonds, essential oil (unless deprived of prussic acid), belladonna and its preparations. The purchaser must be known to the druggist or have one who is known to certify for him; he must also sign his name and address, and the druggist must place his name and place of business upon the label. This law has absolutely rooted out the evil existing at Johannesburg, where Chinamen could heretofore secure whatever amount of opium they desired by merely applying. For, if any can sign their names, and even then, unless known to the chemist, they are unable to buy. However, it has not stopped the smuggling of opium into the compound, and it is stated that the Chinese are still in that manner able to procure the drug. Making a Dog Understand. A dog understands "yes," and is equally competent to grasp the "no." Outside of that he is all dog and follows his dog ways. He indulges in no mental refinement and will not comprehend many of your changes of mood or mind. Whatever you undertake to teach, make it plain, simple and unchangeable. It is a pity that he must be taught not to jump up on people and compliment them with his careses. He means well, but must be disciplined sternly into knowing that it is not good form under any circumstances. The discipline need not be accompanied by any severity. A light touch with a whip, if applied invariably, will soon settle the matter. Some kennel men adopt the plan of stepping lightly on the hind foot, and it is perhaps the clearest way of conveying the idea.—Outing. Several English song birds, including the lark, nightingale and thrush, are thriving in an outdoor flying cage in the New York zoo and make themselves quite at home with American bird NAST The Popular Photographer.

You ask a young mother what and how she feeds her baby, perhaps a year old, and quite likely she will say: "Eight ounces of milk diluted with two of water." Her utensils are kept with the most scrupulous care, the child fed with strict regularity, and still he is continually troubled with constipation, and while not exactly ill, he is far from well. Why does he not thrive better? No, he is not over fed. He is under watered. The milk should be diluted fully one-half. The load must have an adequate vehicle. My baby, now 16 months old, takes nearly one teaspoon of milk to a feed, but it is diluted with water: to make nearly a pint, fed, of course, blood warm; it is not safe to give cold food except in the smallest quantities under two years. Besides he drinks one-fourth to one-third cup of cold water several times during the day. He has some plain, solid food with his meals two or three times a day, bread, crackers, johnny cake or since plain cereal without hulls. He has no oatmeal, no vegetables, no sweets, but the moment the abundance of water is neglected there is trouble. It is not the fats but the solids which clog the digestion. In all foods irritation must be avoided. But first, last and always quantities of water must be given to ensure health. It has been said that a baby suffers for a "barrel" of water before it is old enough to ask for it. Of course, it makes more trouble and many more napkins to wash, but it makes rosey chooks and abounding vitality. This is my experience with four unusually fat, rosey children. If the baby is taken little don't neglect the water; it is all the more necessary then. In colds, during the feverish period, give cold water and after that pauses, if the child relishes it, hot water. In meauses and all dangerous fevera, give the water cold, but feed it with a teaspoon. A dozen spoonfuls every 10 or 30 minutes will often keep a fever below the danger point. In any acute stomach trouble caused by indigestion in diu or hot weather, give half an hour or so after vomiting a cup of some cereal substitute for coffee, hot, without milk or sugar. Water is what is needed, but plain hot water is sometimes名誉ing, while the slight bitterness of the coffee substitute is most acceptable and besides, it has a small food value. Then give nothing until the usual time between meals has elapsed, when give the same drink again. By time for the next meal after that the stomach will be reused and the same drink with milk and a very little sugar will be all-sufficient. If possible, give no solid milk until the following day. If this treatment is applied promptly the bowels being moved, if there is the slightest need the first vomiting spell will probably be the last. When teething, feed cool water with a spoon. You will be surprised to see how eagerly the baby will take it, and how much he will want. It cools the gums and fed in this way no quantity will do harm. The only harm water can do is to chill the stomach, which it will do unless taken quietly in quantities. —Orange Juice Naranja. Manut Guajoy. Two cups of New Orleans molasses. Two cups of salt A sugar. One cup of butter. One salt sugar of salt. One teaspoon of vanilla. Six quarters of peanuts. Put the butter, sugar and molasses on together, adding the salt after it comes to a ball. Soil until it forms a salt ball in cold water, then, take from the stone and beat vigorously two minutes. Return to the stone and soil until a spoon drawn through it makes a slight path. Add the vanilla and beaten again. When beginning to grow cold, salt in the peanuts and pour into battered pans.

The above figures are those given by the News. There is some difference in those of the Republican, but substantially the same results are shown. The election of the three Republican supervisors, J. Day Smith, P. B. Russell and J. A. Barnett, will save the upper board with a majority of Democrats. Woodward, Spencer Acrson and Kochan, having elected on the Spoor ticket two years ago. Among the results of the election is the defeat of the Denver Terminal Railway franchise, which was designed to give proposed interurban electric lines from the north entrance into the city. The Union Pacific franchise to permit that company to lay a track on certain portions of Bliss street, was also voted down. The Denver Post's Municipal Traction Company franchise was beaten more than two to one. The Denver City Tramway Company's twenty years extension and the Denver Gas and Electric Company's extension of franchise were carried by small majors, the position following the strength of the municipal ownership feeling. Traction Companies Owned. Chicago—The Supreme Court of the United States, by deigning the petition of the Chicago traction companies for a surrender of the case so sweepingly decided against them last March, on Tuesday destroyed the last hope of the street railway interests in the litigation over the amnesty-limited franchise. Immediately both the city authorities and the traction officials began to plan for the new condition. The news was hardly in hour on before conferences had been arranged, and calculations began on the possibility of making new arrangements, under final and definite relations, between the companies and the city. Rebuilding of San Francisco New York—The Herald says, It was determined yesterday that $200,000,000 shall be the capitalization of the new mortgage loan corporation which is to be organized here to advance money for the rebuilding of San Francisco. The promoters of its enterprise at first argued that $200,000,000 capitalization would provide an ample vehicle for handling hundreds of millions of investments, but it was found that San Francisco leaves a much larger capitalization, giving opportunity or investment by the Pacific coast. Hence it is now considered best to capitalize for $200,000,000, with paint in subscriptions causing $200,000,000 costs. WILL ELEGANTY BRAIDER LINES Denver — A business special at the Republican states. In Boulder, general passenger agents of the Colorado and Southern states, was, in the city cage and said that, the results of the contest in Denver would not lower the campaign from countrifying the line from Denver on this cage. He said the object of distracting the lead was not to keep the cage congestion, but to allow it to handle the passenger traffic between Denver and the northern part of the states. He emphasized that the company was going to work on the change or improvement at the first practicable woman. YOUNG WIFE MURDERED. Husband Accused of the Fearful Crime. Denver.—Police officers in all of the large cities of the country are on the lookout for George Compeste, alias George Comperio, alias George Walse, alias George Voleso, alias several other names. Compeste is a swarthy-skinned, surly-looking Italian of medium stature. For the last few months he has called Denver his home. Compeste is believed to be the man, who with flendish brutality first by striking her on the head with a hatchet and then nearly severing her head from her body with the keen edge of a razor, murdered beautiful Rose Sario, a little over fourteen years of age, who, by courtesay, he called wife. The murder was done in the little terrace they called home at 2437 Central court. North Denver. The deed evidently was committed between the hours of 8 and 11 o'clock last Sunday evening. The lifeless body of the poor, little innocent child-wife was discovery Monday. It was lying stark naked, cold and stiff in death, the head hanging from the neck by a thread, in the bed in the house in which this couple made their home. The body lay wettering in the life blood that had been spilled by the heartless murderer. The so-called husband of this beautiful little Italian girl is missing. Every indication points to him as the murderer. BOY BURGLERS. Robberies by Boy Church Janitor and His Chum. Denver—Working as janitor of the Fifth Avenue Methodist Episcopal church at Fifth avenue and South Water street, Clair Davis, a fifteen year-old boy, led a dual life and at night played burglar. The spoils stolen by him and his accomplice, Leslie Shannon, aged fourteen, were hidden by the boys under the floor of the loft of the church. Monday Rev. Mr. Hopkins, the pastor of the church, went into the choir loft of the edifice and while there dropped his pencil down a crack in the floor. Lifting a board he discovered hundreds of dollars' worth of plunder which was identified as that stolen in the burglaries of the Spalding Sporting Goods Store, the Tammens Curtio Company's store and other burglaries which have been committed in the city during the past few weeks. Policeman Henry Sollers arrested the jailor of the church and his boy friend, Leoile Shannon, and the youths confessed to Captain of Detectives Loomis that they had committed the burglars named. The boys are held for Judge Lindsey of the Juvenile Court. Standard Oil Denial New York—The Standard Oil Company has issued to its shareholders a statement in reply to the special message recently sent to Congress by President Roosevelt and the report on the country's oil industry by Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of corporations which accompanied it. The statement is signed by C. Pratt, secretary, and was issued by order of the board of directors. It denies positively the charge that the Standard Oil Company benefited by secret rates for the transportation of its products. The statement declares that the estimate that the company saved $758,000 a year through the operation of certain freight rates could only have been arrived at by theorizing. World's Largest Battleship. Washington—Shall the United States have a battleship the peer, if not the superior, of any battleship in the world, carrying as heavy armor and as powerful armament as any known vessel of its class, was the question which presented itself to the House Wednesday when the further consideration of the naval bill was resumed. The first paragraph under "increases of the navy" provides for an appropriation of $8,000,000 for a battleship that will be superior to the Dreadnaught, provided for by the English government exclusive of armament and armor. It was adopted. ```markdown ``` Chicago—Attorneys for John Alexander Dowley on Tuesday filed an answer in the federal court in the reversing proceedings brought against Dowley some time ago. In the answer Dowley denied that he was insolvent; if all of his property was restored to him, Judge Landis, after hearing arguments for some time, decided to settle the master himself and directed the attorneys to make no further move in the proceedings at present. Counsel for Volkra said a conservator would be asked for later in the day to take charge of Shon City until the litigation is ended. ```markdown ``` Albuquerque, N. M.—The nomination of the President of Hon. Bernard Shannon Bodley as United States judge of the discipline of Porn, Hon. meets with universal approval here, and no doubt all over the territory. Mr. Bodley represented this territory in Congress as delegate for two terms, and he is one of the best lawyers at the bar of the Second judicial district. He asked for fifteen days to arrange his affairs here before leaving for his new duties, and it was granted by the President. Mr. Bodley has lived here for twenty-five years. Uniona Occupae Trade Schools. New York—a citizen of the arcade of labor unions toward industrial schools was embroiled in the report just made of the committee on industrial education to the National Association of Manufacturers. The report declared that labor unions have made efforts to limit the persecution of trade unions. "These efforts," said the report, "are nothing short of a crime against all those young men who insist to learn a trade, and use the course, in a consumable measure, for the lack of skilled labor in the United States."

The Matinee-Jacket Girl ‘The matinee girl and the matinee- jacket girl need not be at all alike; one loves to spend sentimental hours with a stage hero, one loves to lounge in budoir privacy and comfort. But in summer there are days when we are all matineeijacket inclined, when even the most energetic is glad to take to comfortable loose negligee and comfortable pillowed couch; wherefore it is well to present a little talk on present-day styles in negligee costume. One may spend a small fortune on tea-facket and tea-gown, and one may attain very attractive ‘ones for only a small outlay. Imported, hand-made lingerie affairs cost way up, are im- possible for the average purse; but one may throw together oneself, if at all capable, some filmy stuff and feel quite content with results. There are figured swisses that that need but little trimming and are inexpensive and very appropriate for summer lounging robe and sack; there are wash sitks that are likewise inexpen- sive and pretty mulls, lawns, handker- chief Iinen—any number of materials. Empire styles are liked, the short- waisted girdle made of insertion and dace ike that with which the garment 4s trimmed. The loose sack, loose {com short yoke down, is still in fa- vor, and the other day we saw a nov- elty In the way of one meant to slip on over the head. This had a square neck, the opening large enough to go over the head easily, and there was ayotded the usual problem of how to keep a loose sack closed—as a rule always unfastening at the most awk- ward moment. Of course, sleeves are all short, for cogjpess, and to glye the dressy look ‘desired. Sometimes the sleeve will be a mere ruffle, a deep frill. The flowered dimities and organdies are preferred by some, for the reason that there {s less of a night-gown appear- ance in colored materials. Made up with three tiny frills at the bottom, a lace yoke and lacetrimmed sleeves, there is less of a night-gown appear- ‘The designs of the day, the neat little rosebud patterns, are well suited to these dainty negligees.

Americans Not Risque— But Mure Sa By MADAM YVETTE GILBERT. mmr MERICANS accuse the French peonle of audacity in deal- A ing with certain subjects in the drama, and in literature they say we are vulgar, but it is not the French dramatists Gee and writers, it is not the French people—it is your S| ‘American language that'is'st fault, nee Foreign artists come to this country, and they are SUE so fettered by commercial considerations that they wht ; &f not speak out their minds. They pretend they do not” XJ} notice any difference in the moral view-point, yet I, who gation ieee ew Penn Ge Ree rer mre a eek ate ee ee Ree oe ee Oo See een ee hesitate to say you are inclined to ste what you think risque in what the French people recognize as only natural and proper. That is the trouble with American audiences. They are always looking for something shocking, and they generally succeed in find- ing it. Americans regard the French people as extremely free in their acceptance of what you love to call the risque, but I must confess we never go to the same limits of toleration as do the Americans with all their readiness to discover something off color. There is a great deal of latitude in the term “risque,” and I am inclined to think it has geographical limitations. While you Amer- icans regard the French people as the extreme, we are looking upon ‘Americans as decidedly not risque—but more so. ‘The tendency to see something vulgar where vulgarity does not exist is only a condition of development, It is the same condition of development, intellectual and artistic, that causes an uncultured Person to see evil in a nude statue. The subtleness of the risque in songs or drama accompanies only a higher intellectual state—that is, regarding the meaning of risque as entirely different from the coarser4 interpretation, which I fear exists often in nations that have not the highest spirituelle development. Americans are intelligent, wide-awake, appreciative, they are Progressive and responsive to what appeals to them; but I look fo™ ward to the time when they will develop in their spirituelle concep- tions, when they will take a more subtle and finer view of things. To be good, it is not enough to abstain from what is ill; nor is doing good an equivalent for being good. In order to be good, the very core of life must be kept pure and sweet, notwithstanding a p- pearances to the con- trary; for genuine goodness consists first of all in a positive moral attitude toward life, namely, in the will to be good; in the earnest de- sire to attain to goodness, and the inmost wish to do good. Thus the man who cheats and hoodwinks so adroitly as never to be held for an overt act committed against the law, is, despite his sem- blance of goodness, morally guilty. The regular attendant upon the church, bowed in pious devo- tion, who has never suffered from the odium of heterodoxy or reli- gious delinquency, is ostensibly a good man’ a good churchman, how- ever divorced his life from the principles of goodness outside the church. But unless the life of the church and the life of the world coalesce, both to the purification and uplifting of the entire moral) and spiritual being, no evidence of public worship can take the plack of goodness lodged in the very heart of man. The pious fraud who prays with his lips while his thoughts dwell on mundane affairs; the intellectual falsifier who subscribes to long outworn doctrines; the individual whose social conscience permits him to do what is denounced by both church and state, may hide his crooked form under to cloak of piety and goodness, remaining never- theless morally culpable. As with the good man of the church, so with the good man of the state. Hence, to be a “good citizen” is to have at heart the good of the city, state or nation, to the extent of rendering personal service wherever and whenever needed to conserve civic and political health, for it is thus, and thus only in offering practical testimony of good citizenship that onc’earns the inalienable right to the title of ‘a “good citizen.” Goodness, then, consists first in loving the good; second, in hav- ing the will to be and to do good, in seeking to know the good, and knowing it to do that which is good. Some know the good and do evil; others love the good and follow evil, ,but if following evil they yet shall so love the good that they forsake evil and return to the good— there shall be rejoicing in Heaven and upon earth greater over one of these than over 10,000 who have never loved the good, and have never done evil.
