SIMONS ON An Abridgement of Rights a are Peeping at Our Prog We Enjoying the Int of the SIMONS ON THE NEGRO. An Abridgement of Rights and Our Duty. Curious Eyes are Peeping at Our Progress and Demeanor. Are We Enjoying the Integrity and Protection of the Law? In the face of the many important events that have actually taken place in the last few weeks and of the topics of discussion, I am prone to ask the question, and at this opportune time. When I read of our constitution and its laws that were moulded and framed by the able and giant thinkers of the Republic, both of the past and the present, I often pause to ask myself—Are we respecting the legislative bodies? Do we reverence the good opinions and just discussions of the past? Of what use are laws that have been certified, ratified, and approved by the people, yet on the day of their enforcement those who are entrusted with its keeping and execution shrink from duty. If such an action is tolerated, then the law only exists in name. We read the good meaning of our laws, but we hesitate to put its utility into practice. Curious eyes peeping at the mirror of recitude from whence they see the shadow of a race trampled, yet bias to lend a helping hand. The enforcement of the law would be a boon to a down-trodden race. But, oh! say does justice in its integrity exist for the Negro? There never was a time when the flush of success and the inspiration to do better was more prevalent in our nation than now. The religious denominations, the benevolent societies and philanthropic agencies are at work. Missionaries are crossing the ocean to convey the tidings of the gospel to the heathen in the foreign lands. Messages of condolence are written and sent to the suffering Jews in Russia, yet in the very heart of all the benevolent and Christian organizations, and under the flag of a civilized, progressive and intelligent nation, human beings, men of color, are being murdered, tortured, yes and burned at the stake. Does the State of Liberty hover beneath its arm a retreating place for the Negro? The constitution and its laws speak with one accord in its favor. To-day the world is condemning that portion of our commonwealth that lies below the Mason and Dixon line, but it is now time to withdraw this bias conclusion. These crimes are confined to no fixed locality. Years ago the horrible execution of a Negro at Texarkana, Ark., was a feature of discussion, and lingered long in the hearts of VOL. XII. SAVED BY PATI RAC ORAD THE JOURNAL THE NEGRO. and Our Duty. Curious Eyes ress and Demeanor. Are degrity and Protection Law? our domain, but to-day not only individuals but nations are shocked at the horrible execution and treble lynchings of Negroes who suffer the pangs of torture, equal to that of Texarkana, if not greater, and perpetrated in the very hub of our Republic. Must the South bear the brunt of criticism while other guilty districts go free? As to the guilt or innocence of these victims, is it known? Will it ever be known? I do not hesitate to assume a degree of satisfaction when corrected and reproved by my superiors, but the element that were conspicuous at Springfield, Mo., were far below even the victims of torture. They were simply beings of might moved to action by their bias hatred for the Negro. I am consoling myself to know that the prevailing sentiment of the intelligent class of whites had no sympathy with this movement. Were the thoughts of the people that characterized this mob the sentiments of the republic, to-day we would either survive as the fittest or we perish to a man. But thanks to Providence, the white man is still our friend. The party in power has sympathy, truth and honor, and is ever ready to extend those a helping hand who are trying to rise. I do not wish to be understood as being rash toward my white brother. He is my friend and always has been. I can point with sincerity to men among our whites who succored and abetted me in my struggle to breast the tide, as of though an offspring. While this is true of individuals, it stands good in the majority of the nation. If a record of the perpetrators were kept of those who participate in mobs and lynchings of the colored man, the majority would be confined to that class who use small means of improvement, such as providing themselves with good books, newspapers and periodicals to read. They are adverse to the very existence of the Negro. no matter what improvement he may make, nor do they look with favor to his steps of advancement. His one thought is to limit our progress and advancement by extermination. To the Negro, I may add that it behooves us to connect ourselves with every good thought, to show the world that we are worthy of existence. If we are to imitate our superior, mimic his good ac- --- Society, Denver, Colo tions, we have farther to go than he. We have just mounted the steps, now we are to ascend the stairway. We could all be good, and yet there would be room for improvement. Some of us are saying, "Why not get into unity?" If we cultivate pure thoughts, confine our hearts to diligence and act accordingly, we are of one mind. This is a necessity. The paramount question, the center of discussion; with it all is well; without it all is chaos. The young man's time is utilized better by staying at home and perusing some good book rather than go to the club, where in many instance foul breaths tainted with whisky, unpleasant conversation and gambling is in evidence. Why crowd yourself with evil intentions and express them to the outward world by your hasty conclusions, to rob purity in womanhood, be she white or colored. Again there are among your own association women just as fair, just as pretty and as accomplished. They are entitled to your most earnest respect and worthy consideration. To-day we hear from another race in a voice emanating from the house tops their antipathy for amalgamation and the blending of the races, and among this very people (though not of the best blood), we find the greatest perpation of the kind done. They seek the darkness of the night to obscure their ghoulish desire. The young women may vibrate on her musical instrument tones of a religious character with the prevailing music which will give impetus and progress to generations yet unborn. When these have been accomplished, we are not only looked on with favor in the eyes of individuals, but we meet the approbation of a civilized world. Will justice blazon out for us on the dial of time? Will there be an awakening for us in the hearts of men? Will there be an intercession for us? It remains to be answered. But we know Providence is smiling on us. He is yet in our midst. We are not the initial race bearing the burden of torture. History records oppression and strife since the beginning of time. With an eye fixed on the goal of our ambition, let us march with one mind and one sentiment. We may suffer the wrath of individuals, but we know we meet the sanction and approval of an All-wise God.—John Simons in Freeman. Bishop Turner has received a letter from President Roosevelt asking him to state reasons why he should not be arrested for treason, because he said in a speech delivered recently in Macon, Ga., that "the American flag was a dirty rag so far as the Negro is concerned." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1906. COLOR QUESTION ARGUED BY MINISTERS. At the Third street M. E. church (white) on last Monday Rev. E. L. Gllliam, in answer to Rev. J. C. Arbuckle, read a paper in answer to the colored question. Rev. Mr. Gilliam said: It is not true of the race that there was any difference in from other races, which he contended has advanced and devolved since slavery days. He denied that the colored man was a burden to the nation, and as a race was not shiftless and trifling. On the contrary, he declared, that the Negro has ever been loyal and devoted to this country, during the war and since. Dr. Lucian Clark, Rev. B. F. Dimmick and a half dozen other minister support him in it. Some of the ministers thought that the colored people should stand by their own business, but Rev. Mr. Gilliam was in favor of the colored man patronizing those who were fair to him, black or white. In his paper he refuted the argument that the colored race is the outcome of the curse of Noah upon Ham.—World Columbus Ohio. JAMAICA NEGROES. Woodworth Clum sent to the Isthmus of Panama by the Washington Post and other daily papers, as a special correspondent, in one of his letters says: "As we leave Culebra, let us take a glispse at the machine shop and the roundhouse, where the engines used to haul the work trains are kept in good condition. Here we find the foreman as black as the proverbial midnight, and naturally so, for he is a full-blooded Jamaican. At night the engines come rolling into their respective berths, each with some variety of mechanical ailment. The engineer of the disabled steed calls loudly for the foreman. He comes; the case is diagnosed, the trouble ascertained, and with the deft fingers of genius the foreman repairs the damage. "Yet this fellow came to the isthmus two years ago as a common laborer and was paid at the munificent rate of 80 cents per day. I understand his salary is $1,800 a year. And he is one of the men that really earns his pay. There is no better place to study the adaptability of the Jamaica Negro than at Culebra. Most of the engineers are Negroes and so are their firemen. The are all ambitious, work well, and from all I was able to learn are giving perfect satisfaction." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Governor Folk and his staff of grand jurors made their final report on the mob of April 14th that hanged and burned three innocent Negroes in Springfield, Mo. The jury found that no attack had been made on Mrs. Mina Edwards, that it was impossible for the two Negroes accused to have been at the scene at the time stated in the case, and that the sheriff and the police department were negligent in the performance of their duty. A dispatch from Shreveport, La.says: Tom Jackson, a Negro, who had been arrested for holding up and robbing Hassel Barnes, a white boy of $1.00 was lynched at Blanchard, La., early to-day. The Negro's body riddled with bullets, was found in a field half a mile from where he had been chained. Incidents of this kind are innumerable and proves that the black men is not lynched solely for the nameless crime. No white man is ever lynched for so trifling offence, Colorphobia is the cause of mob murder. Washington, May 28.—The supreme court of the United States today decided the case of Reuben Hodges and others vs. the United States, refusing to take jurisdiction. Justices Hay and Harlan dissented, but as their opinion was not ready the controlling opinion also was withheld. Hodges and associates were convicted and sent to prison for a year for intimidating Negroes from working in a lumber camp in Arkansas. They were proceeded against on the theory that their persecution of the laborers was on account of color, which is in violation of the constitution. The defendants set up that the matter was one for the state courts and not for the federal, which today's decision upholds. Washington, May 21.—Richard Greener, formerly consul of the United States at Vladivostok, whose departure from the consular service has been attributed to the report of Herbert H. D. Peirce, who inspected the consulates of this county in Asia, has decorated by the Chinese government with the third-class order of the double dagon. Mr. Greener is a Negro. It is now said at the state department that he will be given another consular position. Just where he will be sent is not disclosed. Without special permission from Congress, officials of this government may not accept decorations or honors from foreign governments, but Mr. Greener, being temporarily out of the consular service, is free to take the order of the double dragon. NO. 36. In Memphis, Tenn., there are forty-eight colored letter carriers and six substitutes; total fifty-four. If you count the porters in and around the custom house, it would run the above figure up to eighty, to which if you add the number of railway service clerks and the many drivers of mail wagons and other servants, it would run the last named figures to upwards of 130 colored persons employed in and around the Memphis postoffice drawing salaries of over $100,000 every year. Some of the letter carriers have been in service over thirty years twenty-five years, twenty years and so on down. When they had Democrats for postmasters there were no discharges made among the colored carriers. The above showing is what you call recognition of the race for its loyalty and the past services rendered. In other parts of the state they have the same recognition in proportion. NEGRO HONORED The Harvard University Gazette recently published the following: William C. Mathews, 05, the former star baseball player, has been named as a fellow of the Inter-Municipal Committee on Household Research for the rest of the academic year. 'The fellowship, with a stipend of $400, is a special gift from the committee which gives it its name, to secure accurate observations of the social and industrial conditions of the Negro in Boston.' Professor William H. Ferris is a master of arts of both Yale and Harvard Universities. When he received his A. B. degree from Yale University he took two years of special honors in English literature, and stood among the best twelve in a class of two hundred sociology. Professor Ferris then spent two years of graduate work at Yale in philosophy, sociology and English literature. In 1897 he won one of the $325 Hopkins scholarships in Harvard divinity school, Amsterdam, New York, contemplated issuing a magazine. So he wrote to Professor Henry P. Wright, dean of the Yale college faculty and to Mr. Henry S. Thompson, secretary for appointments of Harvard University to recommend a Yale and Harvard capable of doing first class literary work, especially in writing upon subjects of interest to the colored people of America. By a strange coincident they both recommended Prof. Ferris. Some time in June the lectures that Professor Ferris has given during the past year in the leading colored colleges and churches of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will be published in a 200 page booklet.

THE MAN BEHIND THE BALLOT Chief Executive Pays Homage to the Heroic Dead and Enforces the Duties of the Living. Portsmouth, Va.—President Roosevelt joined the people of Virginia Memorial Day in a beautiful and impressive tribute to the nation's dead. Under the auspices of the Army and Navy Union, the organization of the officers and enlisted men of the United States army and navy, the President delivered the Memorial Day address here to an audience numbering thousands. Immediately after delivering the oration of the day President Roosevelt unveiled a monument erected in the naval cemetery by the Army and Navy Union to the memory of its dead comprades. The procession consisted of several thousand men from the North Atlantic fleet, Army and Navy Union organizations, Grand Army veterans, camps of Confederate veterans and many other societies. The President said, in part: "This day is hallowed and sacred in our history, for on this day, throughout the land we meet to pay homage to the memory of the valiant dead who fell in the great Civil War. No other men deserve so well of this country a sthose to whom we owe it that we now have a country. Moreover, the men to whose valour we owe it that the Union was preserved have left us a country reunited in fact as well as in name. They have left us the memory of the great deeds and the self-devotion alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray in the contest where brother fought brother with equal courage, with equal sincerity of conviction, with equal fidelity to a high ideal, as it was given to each to see that ideal. "Moreover, it is a peculiar pleasure to speak to-day under the auspices of the Army and Navy Union, of the Union, which is meant to include the officers and enlisted men of the regular forces of the United States. "Exactly as there is no other body of men to whom in the past we have owed so much as to the veterans of the Civil War, so there is no other body of men among all of our citizens of to-day who as a whole deserve quite as well of the country as the officers and enlisted men of the army and navy of the United States. "This audience is composed largely of veterans of the Civil War, largely of men who have served in or are serving in the army and the navy of the United States. They are concerned not only with the duties of the soldier and the sailor, but with the duties or the civilian, with all matters affecting the plain, everyday citizen as he does his everyday duties. "In the last analysis, it is the man behind the ballot who counts most in civil life, just as it is the man behind the gun who counts most in military life. "We cannot too highly honor the memory of the leaders in the Civil War—of Grant and Lee, of Sherman and Johnston, of Stonewall Jackson and Sheridan, of Farragut and of the captains who fought under and against him. But after all the man upon whom the chief credit must rest was the plain man in the ranks, the man in blue or in gray who went in to see the war through, and who did see it through. "So again in our Republic as a whole it is just as true in peace now as it was forty-five years ago in war that it is the character of the average man that must be the determining factor in achieving national success or going down to national disaster." DEATH OF COUNTY CLERK. County Clerk and Recorder of Hinsdale County Found Dead. Denver.—A News special from Lake City says: L. P. Hix, county clerk and recorder of Hinsdale county, was found dead Tuesday morning a mile below town on the Lake Fork of the Gunnison river. He had been down to see his aged father, who was ill at his farm, two miles from Lake City, and stayed from early morning until between 3 and 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. He started to walk back to his home by a narrow path which led beside the creek. He evidently stepped too near the bank, and it caved, giving him a fall of about six feet and bruising him so badly that he could not get up. His death, however, was due, not to the fall, but to heart failure, brought on by the exposure to the night's storm. His wife became anxious on account of his continued absence, and a searching party was formed, but his body was not discovered until morning, when it was brought to his home in Lake City. Hix was nearly forty-two years old. He leaves a widow and four small children besides an aged father and an invalid brother to mourn his loss. He had been clerk of this county for more than seven years and a resident here for twenty-five years. He came across the plains from Missouri when he was a boy. He was universally liked, and his death comes as a great shock to this community. Rejoicing in Spain. Madrid.—All Spain is rejoicing on the eve of the wedding of King Alfonso and Princess Victoria, and the capital has not seen such scenes of enthusiasm during the present generation. To-night the whole city is aglow with fireworks and electrical illuminations, while the streets are thronged with dense masses of people. All the central points from the Puerta Del Sol to the Pardo are literally packed. The most notable event of the day was the presentation of President Roosevelt's letter to the King by the American special envoy, who made a felicitous speech. M. H. H.

Vegetable Salads Very Appetizing This Time of Year—The Value of Carrots. I have lately noted an especially dainty salad that looks very appetizing these spring days: Cook some tips of asparagus, some string beans and a carrot, boiling each until quite tender in salted water; have the beans in 2-inch lengths and cut into slender strips; the asparagus stalks may be used for soup, as only the extreme tips are nice in this salad. Chill a couple of tomatoes and some of the small spring onions called shallots; these must be carefully peeled and then cut into inch lengths. Place a leaf of lettuce on a salad plate and lay the asparagus tips in a little pile at one side, a slice or two of tomato and a little heap of the beans on the other; wash and cut a couple of new radishes into rounds and lay them in another small heap next the beans. Serve very cold with French dressing, and the salad will be found delicious. It is a pity carrots are not better liked; they are both cheap and wholesome, something that can not be said of many eatables. They should not be peeled, but well washed and scraped; put on in boiling salted water and cook until perfectly tender; but they should not cook to a mushy condition; drain and they may then be served whole in a plain white sauce, or be sliced lengthwise and dipped in batter, then fried a nice brown in very hot fat. Carrots are excellent boiled, mashed, seasoned with plenty of butter and salt and pepper, a little milk added and baked like mashed potatoes. They flavor soups and stews better than any other vegetable and should be used plentifully at this season.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. HOW TO BUY GLOVES. Try Glove to See If Elastic, and a Fragrance Like Russia-Leather Good Sign. Many women buy their gloves carelessly. They do not examine the glove, and later find to their sorrow that the glove that seemed pretty and effective off the hand is badly made and of poor material. "In selecting a pair of gloves," said a glove saleswoman, "the best plan is to test the kid by stretching it. Take the side seams between the thumbs and fingers and pull. If the kid is soft and pliable, the pores small, even and not specially noticeable and the glove immediately takes on its original shape, it gives evidence of not only being elastic, and therefore full of new life, but of being of a fairly good quality. The heavy walking gloves can be tried in the same way, but as sure a test as any is in smelling them, and if there is a rather fragrant odor like that of Russian leather, they, too, should be all right. The stitching in the seams should all be carefully examined to see that it is perfect and that there are none sewed so close to the edges that they will tear out. If well made they should have a small gore between each of the fingers."—Chicago News. Date Pie.

MEAT SERVED TO THE PUBLIC Astounding Revelations That Call for Searching Investigation and Stringent Legislation by Congress. Washington.—The public of the United States and the world is amazed at the revelations concerning the preparation of meat, as set forth by Upton Sinclair and verified in part by other witnesses. Sinclair claims that he has proved, among other things, that diseased, particularly tuberculous, cattle, and those suffering from actinomycosis, or lumpy jaw, are served to the public as fresh, pure meat. He also charges that the filth around the slaughter houses is appalling; that consumptive employees expectorate and commit other unspeakable nuisances upon the floors of the packing houses; that the meat falls upon this tainted floor and is not afterwards cleaned. Another serious charge is that chickens and other poultry are kept in cold storage until they fairly rot to such an extent that they will not hold together, they then are minced, deodorized and canned for public consumption. Decomposed meat, it is said, is dyed and smoked to remove the traces of decay and treated with chemicals to destroy the stench, after which it is canned and disguised with a pretty label. While Sinclair does not charge the big packers with deliberately dealing in meat that is known to be diseased, he makes it clear that there has grown up around the stock yards a vast industry confined almost exclusively to the handling of rejected meat. It is even said there is testimony at hand to show that diseased and crippled animals, killed because unfit for food or even the rendering tanks, are dug up after being buried under the supervision of inspectors, hurried to one of the diseased meat factories and converted into food. Dispatches from Chicago go far to confirm these statements. Dr. William A. Jacques, who has contributed stirring articles on the terrible conditions prevailing in the packing house district to medical journals, said to-day: "Upon invitation of Commissioner Reynolds, who was sent out here to make an investigation by President Roosevelt, I showed him many things in the stock yards that were worse than anything which he could imagine, and which sickened him. "Toogether, we watched employees of the packing house skimming grease off the surface of 'bubbly creek,' the fetid stream which carries off the refuse of the slaughter houses. We learned that this rotten grease was to be converted into a sort of lard for cooking purposes. "I wish to say," continues Dr. Jaeques, "that I can take the carcass of a badly decomposed dog or other animal, decayed to the point where one can hardly breathe, and by treating it with poisonous deodorizers and a little coloring matter, rig the foul mass up in a manner that would deceive the eye as well as the olfactory organs of an expert meat buyer. In minor respects, Upton Sinclair has exaggerated, but I am convinced that all his most serious charges can be backed up with convincing proof." One of the most horrible of Sinclair's charges is that men and women who operate the sausage machines frequently sacrifice fingers to the sausage, and no attempt is ever made to pick out the mangled member, but the public gets it in "country sausage." "It is decidedly to the interest of the American National Live Stock Association to have as rigid an investigation of the methods in use at the large packing houses as the government can perform," says Murdo MacKenzie, president of that organization, last night. "If the confidence of the people in the purity of the meat they are getting is destroyed, it will do the stockmen great harm. However, that is beyond the province of our association, and though we would like to make sure that the meat sent from the packing houses is pure, we must depend on the government to see to that." PACKING HOUSE SCANDAL. It Is Creating a Great Amount of Interest. Denver.—The report of bad conditions in many of the great packing houses has revived unpleasant memories of the old "embalmed beef scandal and there is a general demand that the whole subject be probed to the bottom. A morning paper says: "No matter what are the details of the report on stock yards conditions—which report President Roosevelt is said to have used as a lever to secure the passage of the inspection legislation through the Senate—credit for improved conditions in the meat industry in the future must remain with one man, Mr. Upton Sinclair, author of 'The Jungle.' "President Roosevelt was one of the first to read the book, and, with characteristic vigor, he marked many passages and called upon two trusted lieutenants to investigate and make the report which is now the center of so much interest. No doubt this report will be made public in full. Indeed, it can not be kept secret in the face of the insistent public demand that has arisen. If it is as bad as indicated by advance reports from Washington, the public will be only too glad to have the packing interests make their answer. As matters stand, secrecy cannot be tolerated on either side. The public must know the truth, for it is the public that is most vitally interested." In addition to what is said in the papers, influential citizens are writing and asking others to write to senators and congressmen requesting them to secure the publication of the full report of Commissioners Nelll and Reynolds. People want to know the facts in the case. DEATH OF MICHAEL DAVITT. Great Irish Statesman and Patriot Dies at Dublin. Dublin.—A notable career closed Wednesday night, when, after a long and painful illness, Michael Davitt died peacefully and painlessly at 12 o'clock in the presence of his eldest son, Michael, and his two daughters, who had devotedly attended him through his illness, and of many of his most intimate friends, including John Dillon. The greatest sympathy has been displayed by all classes of society during Mr. Davitt's illness. Death was due to blood poisoning, which followed two operations for necrosis of the jawbone, and spread so rapidly that all efforts to stay its course were unavailing. Davitt's chief claim to distinction rests on the fact that he founded the Irish Land League, the greatest agrarian organization of modern times. As father of the Land league, he became the popular idol of the Irish people. He was noted as an orator. In 1865 he became a member of the Fenian Brotherhood, the result being that in 1870 he was sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. After serving seven years of the sentence he was released on a a "ticket of leave" and two years later, supplied with funds from the United States, he began an anti-landlord crusade in Ireland, which ended in the formation of the Irish Land League. Shortly after the league was formed he went to America to organize an auxiliary association. He was rearrested shortly after his return in 1881 and sent back to penal servitude, where he remained little less than a year. For seditious speech against the British government he was again imprisoned, this time for three months, in 1883. He was first elected a member of Parliament while a prisoner in the Portland convict house in 1882, but was disqualified by a special vote of the House of Commons because he had not completed his term. Again elected in 1892 from Meath, he was unseated by a petition. The same year Davitt was returned unopposed by Cork, but was forced to resign in 1893, owing to bankruptcy arising from proceedings in the petition, which he had fought against as long as he was able to obtain funds. A few years later he set out on tour of Australia and the southern British colonies. While traveling he was informed of his return to the House of Commons, again unopposed, from East Curry and South Mayo. He at once returned, serving continuously, becoming famous as the Irish leader, till 1899, when he resigned and went on a tour of the world. As an author Michael Davitt is known for his "Leaves From a Prison Diary," published in 1885; "Defenses of the Land League," 1891, and "The Boer Fight for Freedom." 1902. MEAT INSPECTION BILL. Incursed by the President, Who Gives Packers Warning. Washington—An important conference was held at the White House regarding the meat inspection amendment of Senator Beveridge of Indiana to the agricultural appropriation bill. The President discussed the question with Senator Carter of Montana and Professor Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, who investigated certain packing houses and later talked over the matter with Senator Beveridge. At the conclusion of the conference Senator Carter dictated the following statement bearing upon the President's attitude: "The meat inspection amendment placed on the agricultural bill has met with the opposition of the packers and their friends who seem to be bending every effort to defeat it. The President says that if the amendment is enacted into law he will be content to remedy the evils complained of through the law. "If, however, the amendment is defeated he will feel constrained in the discharge of his official duty to the public to send to Congress the reports in his possession relating to the abuses existing in the packing houses. He feels that it is better to refrain from making the reports public, not through any regard for the beef packers particularly, but because an official statement of the facts would injure the stock raisers of the country, thus making them innocent victims of a line of abuses for which they were not primarily in any sense responsible. "The only answer that can be made to the consumers of our meats at home and abroad will be the enactment of a law through which an efficient and sufficient inspection shall be made." Senator Carter said that the packers have asked for more time in which to consider the amendment. "One of the principal questions which they are considering," he said, "is whether they or the government shall pay for the inspection service. It seems a foregone conclusion that they will decide that Uncle Sam shall pay for the work." Senator Beveridge points out that the expense will not exceed 5 cents on a carcass of beef and 3 cents on a carcass of hog. The aggregate of expense will be probably $1,500,000 a year, it will be so widely distributed that it will not fall as a burden on the packers. Militia for Jamestown Celebration. Washington. — President Roosevelt has issued a proclamation inviting the governors of states and territories to participate at their own expense in the Jamestown celebration of the first permanent settlement of English-speaking people on the western hemisphere by sending such organizations of the militia as in their judgment will afford proper military representation. The President says: "The historic nature of this celebration renders it peculiarly appropriate that the representation of the militia should be commensurate with the interests and pride of our people in their citizen soldiery, who have in the many ordeals of our colonial and national life meet their military obligations with superb self-sacrifice and devotion."

Love for those who are gone, fidelity to those who remain. A visit to the cemeteries on May 30th will discover, even to the most careless, that affection is not a forgotten quality even in these strenuous days. Denven is indeed a city where sentiment is not permitted to decline. Masses of people poured into the precincts of the silent dead on Wednesday to place a flower on the grave of some departed loved one and to renew their allegiance at the shrine of sacred memory. The parade in the city during the morning hours was a sight which the human eye will not much longer be prolonged to see, for the boys of '61 are dropping away one by one. The procession witnessed a little band of gray haired men, bent with the weight of years marching to the tunes that inspired their courage nearly a half century ago. These men were the remnent of that once grand organization, the Grand Army of of the Republic, now fast being depleted, but the people cheered them gladly and whatever their outward appearance, still within their hearts burned the fire of patriotism as of yore. Beside them strode wives and children who held their hands as if to prevent their slipping away. A few more years and all that is left of that one grand body will have been gone and only the memory of their acts and courage will remain, but the Grand Old Republic will be richer and stronger that they lived. God bless the G. A. R. Many citizens took advantage of the day to remember loved ones who have been laid away. All day long the cars to Riverside and Fairmount cemeteries were filled with people ladened with precious flowers to plant on graves of those gone hence. The day was perfect. The air, sunshine, birds, flowers and all nature lend their contributions to make it an ideal memorial day and so it was. THE U. S. SUPREME COURT AWAKES Besides taking a hand in the rebate affairs and the packing house and Standard oil business the Government has at last got straight behind the Southern lynching bees. Twenty-seven persons are cited for contempt in the case of lynching Johnson at Chattanooga, Tenn., after the Supreme Court had granted a stay of execution during the argument of an appeal. This action on the part of the Attorney General comes as a surprise to those who heretofore, have been taking the law in their own hands and executing it according to their pleasure. The Grand Jury of Chattanooga had failed to find true bills against the lynchers though strongly charged by the presiding judge to do so. It was presumed that the evidence adduced was insufficient to make out a case against the lynchers which is always the case in a Southern state where the victim is a Negro, but the United States Supreme Court takes the case out of the hands of the local authorities and will conduct it according to the evidence held. Ten of the persons named by the citement for contempt are public and sworn officials including the sheriff and his deputies and peace officers and others who are widely known. The conviction and punishment of those under arrest for participation in this crime will have a most salutary affect in breaking up the lynchings of the South and insure a wholesome respect for law and order. The outcome of this case will be watched with great interest by all who desire to see justice kept alive and the doctrine of state sovereignity relegated to the antebellum days. While the National Government has been busy about many thing she has not been asleep but is now arising and asserting her duty to punish offenders in every state who ignore her mandates. The Negroes of America will strive more valiently to be worthy of the confidence and citizenship reposed in him when justice ceases to be partial. AN IRISH LEADER GONE. Another chapter is closed in Irish history. Michael Davitt the Irish leader and reformer, father of the land league is no more. Wednesday. May 30th saw the close of his eventful life. Great interest and sympathy has been manifested by all classes of society during his illness and death. The Irish people lose a staunch advocate of Ireland's freedom in the death of this great reformer. Davitt was born in his homeland in 1846 and at an early age took deep interest in his people's enthraldom. With Parnell and Redmond he was one of Ireland's Triumvirates whose life was dedicated to Irish freedom. He was a printer, editor, orator, advocate, member of parliament and author whose whole life was thrown in cause of Irish redemption and emancipation, taking a deep interest in Iriish political affairs to his dying moment. Davitt, like all reformers suffered for his convictions. He was four times imprisoned, twice impeached and passed through a stormy career and died a patriot to the cause to which he dedicated his life. Father O'Ryan, pastor St. Leo church of this city, who some months ago addressed the Peoples Sunday Alliance on John Boyle O'Reiley, spoke of Davitt and paid a tribute to the dead statesman's talents. The death of Davitt and the knowledge that the great common people of all lands, of pecially Ireland and Russia, like the Negro, has a cause to righten and a voice to be heard, a pen to weild and justice to be obtained, ought to make the colored people of America wiser and stronger and more earnest to enter the battle for the possession of their manhood rights and not to cease their contention until every privilege is secured and every obligation performed. The Negro of America and the dark races of the world sympathize with Ireland in her sorrow and take courage because of the earnest labors of her noble son, Michael Davitt. One Privilege of the Rich. "What would you do if you were rich?" asked the New York man. "Well," replied the man from Chicago. "I 'spose the first thing I would do would be to have dinner at supper time, like all the rest of the rich folks." Real Cause for Worry. "Yes, I am concerned about myself You see, of late I have got into the habit, if one may term it, of talking in my sleep," said the man who had been waiting to see the doctor. "Ah.. yes!" said the doctor. "And you want to stop it in some way? Really, it is not a cause for worry. I should give it no attention if I were you." "But it bothers me a great deal." "Tut, tut. You needn't feel any alarm over talking in your sleep." "But I am afraid my wife listens in her sleep."—Stray Stories.

Wallace in the Engineering Magazine: The system consisted of a main impounding reservoir, at an elevation of approximately 235 feet above the level of the sea, containing enough water to supply the city of Panama with 2,000,000 gallons daily, an average of the basis of 30,000 population, which was at least 50 per cent. in excess of the present number of inhabitants. This water was to be conducted to the immediate vicinity of Panama through a 16-inch main, and discharged into an auxiliary reservoir of 1,000,000 gallons capacity, situated at an elevation of approximately 140 feet above the sea level in the immediate vicinity of Panama, from which the water was conducted through a 20-inch pipe to a connection with the distributing system in the city. Numerous delays occurred in the construction of this water supply system, due to the fact that the last shipment of 16-inch pipe for the water main did not arrive on the isthmus until May, 1905—eight months after the requisition for it had been issued. The system was in final readiness for the delivery of water in the city of Panama at the close of June, 1905, although the auxiliary reservoir and the full local distribution would still require several months for completion. Even in the United States it is rare indeed that a water supply of this magnitude is conceived, designed and executed in so short a time, and, considering the delays in securing the material and especially the difficulty experienced in obtaining the proper quality and quantity of labor, the result of this particular installation was certainly gratifying. And the credit therefor is due to Mr. Carleton E. Davis and his efficient staff of assistants. MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT Pet Phrase of a Store Clerk, Repeat edly Used, May Have Hit the Mark A clerk in a clothing store in southern New Hampshire, had an amusing habit of using, on all sorts of occasions, the expression, "That helps some." If a customer came in and found a suit of clothes of the right pattern, even though the price was too high for him to think of buying, the clerk would utter the consoling words, "That helps some." If the clothes were cheap enough, but were several sizes too large or too small, still he would remark, "That helps some." One day a lady came into the store and asked to be allowed to see an assortment of neckties. The polite clerk spread out an array of these goods for her inspection, and while she was making her selection he noticed that she looked exceedingly sad and tearful. The clerk ventured some commonplace remark, which led the woman to explain that her burden was a very heavy one; that she was left with but little money and with several small children to support. "My husband," she said at last, "has gone to a better world." "Well," said the clerk, deeply moved, "that helps some." GROWTH OF SOUTHWEST. Great Increase in Population Shown in Texas and the Territories. Southwestward the course of empire is taking its way. That region's expansion is greater since 1900 than it was prior thereto. Not only are Texas and its two territorial neighbors on the north keeping up their old gait, but Arkansas, Arizona and New Mexico are showing an increase not previously touched, says the Metropolitan. From the Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and New Orleans gatways, by way of the many railroads which are extending their operations either by lengthening their main lines or by anexing branches running in all directions, there is a vast inrush of people these days into the section between Missouri's and Kansas' southerly border and the Gulf of Mexico and between the Mississippi and the Rocky mountains and the Rio Grande. Snail's Sense of Smell Emil Jung, a professor in the University of Geneva, say that snails perceive the odor of many substances, but only when not far away. In order to prove this it is necessary merely to dip a glass rod in a strongly smelling substance and bring it near the large tentacles of a snail in motion. If it is put close to these horns, the tentacles are violently drawn back. As the animal perceives the odor, it changes its course. Snails also smell by means of their skin. Contact is not necessary for the mere vicinity of a perfume causes an indentation of the skin. Australian Rabbit Trans. In two traps, set at a small water hole on an Australian ranch, 630 rabbits have been caught alive in one hight. The traps used were ingenious devices which let the rabbits out, one by one, as fast as they are trapped, into a small yard made of portable wire fencing. Russia's Naval Loss The total value of the Russian warships either sunk by the Japanese or captured by them in the recent war has been found by the Russian ministry of marine to amount to no less a sum than $138,850,000. At the present time there are placed on the London market quantities of American poultry at prices ranging from 14 to 18 cents per pound. Only the best quality are desired; roasting chickens should weigh three and a half to four pounds each, possibly five pounds. They should be properly graded as to weight and quality, care being taken that no old birds are sent, as this would prove fatal to the whole consignment. They should be wrapped in grease proof paper, packed 12 in a box, with the net weight marked on the end. A few capons might be sent, but no broilers. In England the whitest flesh is considered best for table purposes. The home breeds are Dorkings, Old English Game and Scotch Greys, and the foreign varieties of La Fleiche, Du Bresse and Houdan, all these being considered first-class. The ideal shape are long and deep in body, broad in breast, and have large wings. Unless long in body or keel, it is impossible for it to carry the same amount of flesh. Great Britain makes large imports of poultry, chiefly from Russia, Austria, Italy and France. Only the best class comes from France, imports from other countries being medium to poor in quality, although showing some improvement of late years. The best market is London, and March, April and May are the best months. Transport from America is easy, with through rates from New York to London. Care should be taken to ship in the refrigerators on the steamers. There is no duty on poultry entering England, but all goods entering Central Market pay $1.10 per ton, which includes placing in market. Five per cent. commission is charged. The be- plan for selling American poultry would be to have an agent in London for the reason that the goods would then be placed all over the market, whereas if consigned to one firm there would not be the same opportunities for sale or profit. Eggs could not be profitably shipped from America to England. STRATAGEM OF SMUGGLERS Italian Street Musicians Carried Dutiable Goods in Their Accordions. Smuggler's wit has invented a new strategem in fraud. On both sides of the Franco-German border in the Alsace region are hundreds of Italians employed in the metallurgical establishments, and as it may be accepted as a maxim that wherever there are Italians there also are strolling accordion players, the presence of these pariahs excites no surprise on either side of the border. It occurred to an Italian with smuggling instincts that in this fact lay rich possibilities. He had an accordion especially constructed with chambers for carrying cigars and brandy from the German side, and taking back expensive laces from the French side. The man Fu an accomplished player, and on Sundays he combined smuggling with amusements, playing bewitching dance airs over the border, to which companion accomplices capered expressively. On the French side there was a confederate innkeeper, through whom contraband goods were exchanged. The traffic had gone on a long time unspected, and might have gone on indefinitely had not impunity at length raised up a fatal presumption. On a recent Sunday evening the smugglers actually emptied their loaded accordion is sight of the customers in the bar, and one of these, a retired French customs officer, promptly informed his colleagues. WOMEN KNOW HOW TO DRIVE Many Are Now Informed as to Handling of Horses and Can Be Trusted. It is not many years ago that anything in the shape of a horse was supposed to be good enough for a woman, says Country Life in America. It was the popular idea among those who knew that given a good horse a woman could ruin it in less than a year. All this has changed among the intelligent women, however. Nowadays the women know how to handle a horse—that is those who use their brains and have watched the real horseman at his work, so this question of sex is not as important as it was at one time. Of course there are thousands of women who know little or nothing about the horse, but with the great number of horse shows all over the country their education is progressing fast, and it will not be long before almost any horse with a reasonable disposition can be safely trusted to a woman and be driven or ridden without damage. At the same time there are ladies' and men's horses, not due to the fact that the animals will be handled by the different sexes, but because they require different characteristics according to the persons in charge of them. Nature's Balance. Man has sinned more than any other animal in trifling with nature's balance. Clover crops and the killing of hawks are, apparently, unrelated, yet the hawks eat the field mice, the field mice prey on the immature bees, and the bees fertilize the clover blossoms. The death of the hawks means an over-increase of field mice and the consequent destruction of the bees.—Country Life in America. CITY NEWS. Editor C. A. Franklin spent Wednesday in Colorado Springs.

Screw earrings of enormous size are the fad among fashionable women this season, which only goes to show how women's ideas change in the matter of what is modish. Only a short time ago women viewed with disdain these relics of barbarianism, as they were called, and would as soon have worn rings in their noses; but fashion can work revolutions when she sets about it. One of the favorite combinations of stones is turquoises and diamonds in a cluster effect. Previously to going into mourning a woman prominent socially wore such a pair, which were fully one-half inch in diameter, but were most becoming to her dark, pliant beauty.—New York Sun. Several British shipbuilding firms have been asked by the admiralty to bid for an experimental torpedo-boat destroyer, having a speed of thirty-six knots (forty-one and one-half miles) an hour. At the present moment the Velox, speed 33.64 knots, is the fastest boat in the British navy. Uniform Must Be Respected The secretary of the navy, Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland, a descendant of kings, recently notified the management of a theater in Washington that its order against admitting soldiers or sailors in uniform to the body of the house must at once be revoked else proper steps would be taken to reach the management through the commission which governs the District of Columbia. The manager took the hint and the order was withdrawn. Chinese Persimmons There is a curious thing about Chinese persimmons—the greater portion are grown from grafts on the "black date" tree. The young date tree is cut off square, and the graft made on top. This results in a most curious appearance of a mature persimmon orchard. To a hight of about four feet there is the rough dark bark of the date tree, and then a sharp change to the light-colored smooth bark of the persimmon tree. A very good proportion of men are "bums." Why, comes within that huge question of the mystery of souls. Some, no doubt, are born bums; some acquire bumness and others have it thrust upon them, says The Reader. In a civilization as commercial, individualistic and aggressive as our own, the last class is a large and pitiful one. But perhaps any bum is pitiful—pitiful because of deficient will or energy, inherited appetite or feeble cerebration, wasted strength in childhood or a luckless beginning. But no man, however consummate his bumness, likes to be without friends. One may go further and say that no man deserves to be without friends. One of those who realized this to superlative degree was the Rev. Samuel Hopkins Hadley, for 20 years the superintendent of the Jerry McAuley mission in New York. Mr. Hadley was, himself, at one time, a "bum," though he came of a good family and had received an education. Liquor was the cause with him, as it is with the major part of all such unfortunates. But he was saved by a revelation 'Divine power and kindness, or, in the language of the old-time Protestant, he experienced conversion. He reformed, and spent his life in helping beaten and broken men. His impulse to reformation came while he was in a low saloon. Suddenly, about him, as about Saul, "a great light shone," and he knew that God was a fact and His beneficience available even for the most abject. His life of unwavering devotion to the wanderers and drunkards, the thieving and despairing, was evidence to the reality of this vision. "My poor bums! My poor bums!" was his plaint in the days when he lay facing death. OUR NEW PACIFIC TRADE. Great Steamers and Cargoes of the Present Contrasted with Those of Early Days. If you would be impressed by a final proof that the dreamers of yesterday are the builders of to-day, you should see one of J. J. Hill's new steamers loading for Japan and China and Manila, and then recall the kind of liners that were on the Pacific a few years ago, writes Ralph D. Paine, in Outing. The Minnesota and Dakota swallows 30,000 tons of cargo, which is the burden of 500 freight cars. They carry 3,000 passengers when the lists are full. Their tonnage is 22,000, or 6,000 tons greater than any other vessel in the Pacific trade. And, looking a little further backward, one finds that the Minnesota is almost 20 times larger than the far-famed clipper of the age of sail, whose titanic heir she is to the commerce of the Pacific. A century ago a Salem bark of only 200 tons (a hundred of her like could be stowed in the holds of the Minnesota or Dakota) made one of the first voyages around the Horn to the new northwest coast. She mounted eight guns and her cargo consisted of "breadcloth, flannel, blankets, powder, muskets, watches, tools, beads and looking glasses," for trading with the painted natives. On a recent voyage the Minnesota carried to the orient 70 locomotives, more than a hundred railway cars, 10,000 kegs of wire nails and half a million dollars' worth of hardware, machinery, flour and other products of the mills, the mines, the farms and the factories that, even from the faraway Atlantic coast, seek new outlets toward the setting sun: "HiS TRANSPARENCY." Title Which Would Not Be the Least Unfitting to President Roosevelt In Bermuda last winter I met a Catholic priest, writes John Burroughs, in Atlantic, who had sat on the platform at some place in New England very near the president while he was speaking, and who said, "The man had not spoken three minutes before I loved him, and had anyone tried to molest him, I could have torn him to pieces." It is the quality in the man that instantly inspires such a liking as this in strangers that will. I am sure, safeguard him in all public places. I once heard him say that he did not like to be addressed as "His Excellency;" he added laughingly, "They might just as well call me His Transparency, for all I care." It is this transparency, this direct, out-and-out, unequivocal character of him that is one source of his popularity. The people do love transparency—all of them but the politicians. A friend of his one day took him to task for some mistake he had made in one of his appointments. "My dear sir," replied the president, "where you know of one mistake I have made, I know of ten." How such candor must make the politicians shiver! Old Help Best. An Englishman who is a large employer of labor has been investigating the arguments of those who say that a workingman under modern conditions becomes at an early age valueless. He has kept a record of all accidents that have incapacitated his men for three days and upward. The people engaged in his employment are from 15 to 65 years of age, and he asserts that more accidents occur to men under 30 than to those over 50. He says: "I would much rather intrust an exceptionally dangerous job to a man over 50 than to one of 30 years of age." COLORADO AND SOUTHERN ECIAL EXCURSIONS SPECIAL EXCURSIONS To City of Mexico.

ROYAL MARRIAGE KING ALFONSO OF SPAIN WEDDED TO PRINCESS ENA. 'MID POMP AND PAGEANTRY Madrid a Blaze of Color Under Cloudless Skies—New Queen Takes the Name of Victoria. Madrid.—With all the pomp and pageantry of mediaeval times and the luxurious accessories of the present, the wedding of King Alfonso and Princess Ena of Battenberg Thursday was celebrated, and to-night all Spain acclaims its new queen, who takes the name of Victoria, which is considered auspicious of long life to rule over a contented and prosperous nation. The city awoke to-day under a cloudless sky with dazzling sunshine adding its glories to the bewildering maze of color in which the streets were enveloped. From an early hour the centers presented an aspect of extreme animation. Princess Victoria came from the Pardo palace to Madrid early in the M. morning, accompanied by her mother, Princess Henry of Battenberg, and her ladies of honor and escorted by a regiment of the royal guards. The bride's party were installed in the ministry of marine, which had been sumptuously prepared for her. The princess put on her wedding dress and Queen Christina greeted the bride, after which the ladies breakfasted together in the blue salon of the ministry. The wedding cortege started from the royal palace at 9:30 a. m. amid the ringing of church bells, the firing of artillery, salutes and the clamorous enthusiasm of the crowds massed along the route. The brilliancy of the first part of the cortege was far surpassed when the famous royal gala coaches came into view, each drawn by eight superb white horses with golden and silver harnesses and lofty colored plumage, looking like the coaches depicted on some illuminated page of a fairy book. These coaches formed one of the most striking features of the wedding cortege. The massed bands played the Spanish national anthem as the bridal couple with measured steps passed within the church. The interior of the church presented a scene of rare beauty as the royal couple entered. The great arches and naves, usually sombre, were lighted Gown in Which Princess En up by thousands of electric lights which lined the cornices and framed the marble altar with an aureole of light. Except the wedding dress, all the bridal trousseau of robes, cloaks, evening and tea gowns, petticoats and underlinen, was made in London. The ceremony was performed with all the impressiveness of the Roman ritual, Cardinal Sancha, archbishop of Toledo, robed in crimson silk, officiating, assisted by a special nuncio of the Pope and the highest dignitaries of the church, with scores of acolytes and incense burners. The ceremony, which lasted nearly an hour, terminated with the nuncio pronouncing the Pope's benediction on the newly married couple and the chanting of the Te Deum. As the King and Princess Victoria were pronounced man and wife the news was signalled to the waiting crowds, and all Madrid broke into frantic demonstrations of joy, while cannon boomed and church bells chimed. BOMB THROWN AT KING. Attempt to Assassinate Spanish Royal Couple. Madrid.—The public rejoicings over the marriage of King Alfonso and Princess Victoria had a terribly dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, as a bomb thrown from an upper window exploded with deadly effect near the coach occupied by the King and Queen. Providenttally, King Alfonso and Queen Victoria escaped when an electric wire deflected the bomb, but at least sixteen persons, most of them belonging to the personal PRINCESS ENA OF BATTENBERG. and military escorts, were killed. Many others were injured. The following were killed: Captain Barriso, commanding part of the King's escort. Lleutenant Reysent. Lleutenant Prendergast. Six soldiers. The Marquise of Colosa. Her daughter. Don Antonio Calvo. His niece, aged six years. Jose Sola, seventy years of age. Luis Fonseca. One royal groom, who was leading one of the horses drawing the coach carrying the King and Queen. Several of those killed were standing on the balcony of the house from which the bomb was thrown. The explosion occurred just as the royal couple were about to enter the palace. The route of the cortege had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing to the popular desire. The procession had just passed through Mayor street, and was about to turn into the esplanade leading to the palace, when an explosion shook the buildings in the vicinity, stunning a number of people and throwing the cortege into inextricable confusion. The screams of the terrified multitude mingled with the groans of the dying. It was seen that the royal coach was intact, except that it had been a Was Married to King Alfonso. damaged by flying splinters. King Alfonso immediately alighted and assisted Queen Victoria out of the carriage. They then entered another coach and were driven swiftly to the palace. The appearance of the King and Queen in a coach brought out delirious ovations. MECCA CAFE AND CHILI PA The Leading Colored Cafe in the West CONDUCTED BY MR. AND MRS. D. W.

Denver—In the last forty-eight hours over forty arrests have been made by the police department of men charged with vavrancy and investigation. With the coming of spring the floating population of the country is coming out from winter quarters to make trouble for the police. The department is making the annual cleanup, and when these men are found on the streets they will be promptly taken into custody. There is a large number of these people in the city who will not work, although the Moffat road is scouring the country to get men to labor on the building of the road to Salt Lake City. Many other enterprises are bidding for laborers, all paying high wages.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA. Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved.

The last sovereign to abdicate was King Milan of Servia. He relinquished the crown in 1889. The last slaves under English-speaking people were United States negroes, set free in 1865. False teeth of ivory, on plates of the same material, and held in place by gold wires, were in use in the year 1,000 B. C. During the past three centuries more than 200 different systems of short-hand have been devised. Pitman's was first published in 1840. The first standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. of France in 1445. In England the first standing army was organized in 1638. The first attempt at stereotyping in America was made in 1775 by Benjamin Mecom, a printer at Philadelphia. Previous to this time the Dutch had stereotyped a prayer book in 1771. The first printing press in America was established in 1639 at Cambridge, Mass. Earlier than any known paintings, some tapestry discovered recently at Deir-el-Bahari, near Thebes, is among the oldest specimens of human art extant, with the exception of the prehistoric drawings on the bones of extinct animals by the river drift men, which, of course, are incomparably older. But these paintings represent the period in which the art of Egypt was at its zenith, the eighteenth dynasty, and consequently date back about 3,500 years. Just a Tip.

Hotel Man Who Was Not to Be Overawed by Dignitaries of State They tell this one on former Gov. George Hoadley of Ohio: Once upon a time, in the midst of a campaign, Mr. Hoadley was to deliver a speech at a little town in the great and glorious Buckeye State. When he reached the one hotel the town boasted he walked up to the register and wrote his name. The proprietor-headporter-steward-head-waiter-depot - runner was behind the desk in his shirt sleeves, his hat on the back of his head, and a cigar stump held between his teeth. When the visitor had put down his John Hancock, the factum turned the register around, read without the flicker of an eyelid the name there written, wrote "10" beside it with a lead pencil, and said: "You kin jest take yer grip right up that stairway there an' back down the hall clean to th' end. Yer room's right on th' left hand side of th' hall, in th' corner—number 10." With considerable astonishment and not a little injured dignity Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said: "I am George Hoadly." "Yep; I notice," said the rustic without turning a hair. "An' yer room's right there at th' end of th' hall—number 10. Can't miss it." With more hauteur, and almost quivering with outraged importance, the guest said impressively: "I am George Hoadly, governor of the state of Ohio!" Turning, then, with a look of exasperated impatience on his face, the hotel man exclaimed: "Well, what d'ye expect me t' do—kiss ye?"—Judge.

A WOMAN'S ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Mrs T.C.Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. C. Willadsen of Manning, la. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: My say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do any good. I had female trouble and would daily have fainting spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take them. I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would have been in my grave to-day." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health.

Modest Gray In High Fashion In the spring a young girl's fancy earnestly turns to thoughts of gown to wear on the momentous occasion she receives her diploma, and it is none too early to consider trocks of this character. The June bride, the July graduate, the summer girl, all take deepest interest just now in filmy finery. And filmy it is to be sure, summer stuffs so fine and thin and cobwebby. Colored slips will be worn under the transparencies, the wearer of course, choosing the most becoming color; bravely eschewing fashionable rose shades if they make her look blowsy, keeping to that old standby—pale-blue—if it is most kindly to her complexion. In the gowns here illustrated we have two distinct styles, the princess * THE DANCE OF THE FIESTA effect and the lingerie blouse that has reigned so long. The princess is a modified one, and is well adapted to the slender, girlish figure. The unattractive short waist line is hidden by trimming. There is a lovely fancy yoke of bands of valenciennes insertion, and fine tucks shape the bodice to the figure. A broad inset band of lace and medallion constitutes the girdle. The skirt is very full at the bottom, and is trimmed with insertion and lace ruffles. The material used is the sheerest lawn. Make the skirt having a sma a couple of tu skirt patterns the regular cir when finished though made ern and is be sag. Most elabo lengths may and the fash from be a sin part we care. Materials employed for such dresses are batiste, lawn, organdies, handkerchief linen, organdies, China and India silks. A soft white silk frock is very suitable for the sweet girl graduate, and no doubt not a few of this season's graduates will appear in the accordion-plaited silk dresses that are called after that charming actress Fritzi Scheff, who wore the original "Fritzi Scheff" in the opera "Mile, Modiste." It is a simple little frock, but very fetching, the skirt a frilly accordion plaited affair depending from a short yoke. The bodice is also accordion plaited and has a chemisette "Graduating" Fro "Graduating" and Summer Frocks. In the show windows of the big stores we see beautiful gray stockings on display, there are show cases full of gray hand-bags, gray gowns fill the streets, and in millinery gray is noticeable to an unusual degree. Gray and white would once have appeared a rather colorless combination, but to-day is exceedingly chic. Gray tulle bows adorn neckwear on gray gowns, gray veils float from gray hats. To be sure, the gray hats as a rule are brightened by some intense color, cerise or coral, or it may be yellow or green. Gray and green make an effec- GRAY STRAW WITH YELLOW ROSES. tive contrast, and when the colors are becoming the result is charming, just the tones to give refreshing on a warm day. The gray shoes are likewise charming; there are gun-metal tones, pearl gray suedes, dull finished kids in several shades of gray, and gray canvas ties. Of course, gray spats are procurable. Then, to jump from shoes to parasols, over my lady's head floats and dips a gray parasol—this surely a novelty. There are gray silk umbrellas, too, gray belts, gray petticoats—gray everything. And, as they always do, the men have followed in the women's lead; gray rules at present in men's apparel. If one does not care to array oneself all in Quaker tones, one may use but a touch of gray and attain desired style. A gray veil or chou or gloves or belt, is suggested. And in hand-bags the variety of beautiful things in gray apepars infinite; as gray is a color that may be used with any costume, a gray bag is an economical investment. Another good investment will be one of the pretty new silk frocks in gray, simple and dainty and and lapels of lace. The sleeves come just to the elbow, and are edged with a modest lace frill. The original (and many that are copied for street wear) has a neat little belt of kid, but for more elaborate occasions a girdle of flowered silk ribbon should be chosen, the girdle narrow and with a dip at the front. Many skirts are trimmed elaborately, some scarcely at all. A nice white voile had as the only adornment some nun's folds on the skirt and a little good lace on guipme and short sleeves. One may pay a shilling a yard for one's frock, or ten times that sum—and after all there does not appear such a great difference in the finished product. A dotted Swiss makes up very prettily and is so fresh and dainty looking. Make the skirt with a Spanish flounce, having a small heading and perhaps a couple of tucks at the bottom. New skirt patterns for wash dresses are not the regular circular skirt, but the dress when finished looks very much as though made after the circular pattern and is better because it will not sag. Most elaborate embroidered dress lengths may be bought at the stores and the fashioning of a dress therefrom be a simple matter; but for our part we care more for the sheer one materials and fluffy trimming than for heavy elaboration. This, of course, is a matter of individual taste. The girl graduate of 1906 may wear posies in her tresses, for there is a return to adornment of the coiffure. Such dear little garlands of rosebuds form a half-wreath about the great coif of hair worn low on the neck, or a single large rose may be tucked in one side high piled tresses worn pompadour style. Flowers are again worn in the corsage, too—this year we shall have the good old conventioned fluffy summer girl, posies in her belt, posies in her hair. and Summer cks. neat. These promise to enjoy great favor, and the new gray mohairs are equally good. The latter are indistinctly plaided, but the effect is gray. A new black and white silk has a gray line running through it, giving it the stamp of fashion. There are nice gray mohair petticoats, some gray and black striped ones, lovely gray silk skirts, and ponges in neutral tones. So many gray volles being worn, a petticoat to match is essential and all shades are offered, from dull gun-metal to softest pearl gray. A changeable gray is very pretty, nothing to be found of softer coloring than gray and white. We recently observed a gray and white transparent frock—could not make out just what the material was, looked like a silk muslin, but seemed to have more body; the skirt trimmed only with wide tucks, the blouse simply with a little filmy lace. This frock would be very pretty worn with a white chip hat having a gray feather across the back and a wreath of white roses about the crown. One of the new long veils might be draped about it, the draping long veil restored to full favor. No doubt as the season advances we shall have numbers of gray wash dresses, and these will be selected not only by the gray haired dame, but also by the apple cheeked maid. The tailors are making up some good gray waists in severe tailored style, these to be worn with gray suits; and they also have the black and white striped silks which give a gray effect. While lingerie waists will be with us all summer, there is a tendency to return to simpler styles, silk and net waists not trimmed with much elaboration. A new waist is a sheer black net, handsomely embroidered. The black chiffon waist is in style and also the black lace waist. Heaviest of Railway Rails. What are believed to be the heaviest rails in use on any steam railroad in the world are on the belt line around Philadelphia. They weigh 142 pounds to the yard. Concrete with nine-inch girders are used with heavy ballast to make a firm roadbed. One railroad official states this section of roadbed will last for 25 years without repairs. This would mean a material reduction in maintenance expense to the road using these rails. ELLEN OSMONDE. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

Vegetable Salads Very Appetizing This Time of Year—The Value of Carrots. I have lately noted an especially dainty salad that looks very appetizing these spring days: Cook some tips of asparagus, some string beans and a carrot, boiling each until quite tender in salted water; have the beans in 2-inch lengths and cut into slender strips; the asparagus stalks may be used for soup, as only the extreme tips are nice in this salad. Chill a couple of tomatoes and some of the small spring onions called shallots; these must be carefully peeled and then cut into inch lengths. Place a leaf of lettuce on a salad plate and lay the asparagus tips in a little pile at one side, a slice or two of tomato and a little heap of the beans on the other; wash and cut a couple of new radishes into rounds and lay them in another small heap next the beans. Serve very cold with French dressing, and the salad will be found delicious. It is a pity carrots are not better liked; they are both cheap and wholesome, something that can not be said of many eatables. They should not be peeled, but well washed and scraped; put on in boiling salted water and cook until perfectly tender; but they should not cook to a mushy condition; drain and they may then be served whole in a plain white sauce, or be sliced lengthwise and dipped in batter, then fried a nice brown in very hot fat. Carrots are excellent boiled, mashed, seasoned with plenty of butter and salt and pepper, a little milk added and baked like mashed potatoes. They flavor soups and stews better than any other vegetable and should be used plentifully at this season.—St. Louis Globe-Demoorat. HOW TO BUY GLOVES. Try Glove to See If Elastic, and a Fragrance Like Russia-Leather Good Sign. Many women buy their gloves carelessly. They do not examine the glove, and later find to their sorrow that the glove that seemed pretty and effective off the hand is badly made and of poor material. "In selecting a pair of gloves," said a glove saleswoman, "the best plan is to test the kid by stretching it. Take the side seams between the thumbs and fingers and pull. If the kid is soft and pliable, the pores small, even and not specially noticeable and the glove immediately takes on its original shape, it gives evidence of not only being elastic, and therefore full of new life, but of being of a fairly good quality. The heavy walking gloves can be tried in the same way, but as sure a test as any is in smelling them, and if there is a rather fragrant odor are that of Russian leather, they, too, should be all right. The stitching in the seams should all be carefully examined to see that it is perfect and that there are none sewed so close to the edges that they will tear out. If well made they should have a small gore between each of the fingers."—Chicago News. FASHION NOTES The newest race and motor wraps are made of dyed shantung silks. White cloth of the most supple make and trimmed with Venise or Irish lace has been adapted for dinnar gowns. A novelty material is a very fine reseda mixture with orange pin-stripe running through it. There are many new cloths shown this season, though the plain chiffon broadcloths are in the vanguard of fashion. Both the water-blue and natural shantung silk are being utilized for simple short waists with soft cambric embroidered turn-down collar and cuffs. Some of the summer white embroidered gowns, inlet with insertions of Valenciennes, flouces and medallions, are veritable works of art, and costly withal. Paris has declared that white is still to be first favorite; and then, with the charming inconsistency for which she is famous, has sent over fascinating muslins, with the color note contrived by means of embroidery, in true French blue, which shares honors with the embroidery done in white, the two being on the same piece.—Brooklyn Eagle. Rhubarb Charlotte Butter a pudding dish thickly and line with strips of bread cut one inch wide and half an inch thick. Fill the dish with alternate layers of rhubarb cut in small pieces and very thin little slices of bread well buttered. Sprinkle the rhubarb layers thickly with sugar. Make the top layer of bread, cover closely and bake three hours in a slow oven. Take out of the oven and let stand half an hour, then turn on to a plate. The charlotte ought to keep the shape of the baking dish. Serve with a hard sauce. Date Pie. Soak one-half pound of dates in three cupfuls of milk for half an hour, then set where they will heat but not cook. When hot, press through a strainer, cool partly, and fill a plate lined with rich paste. Bake and cover with a deep meringue made from the whites of two eggs beaten with one-quarter cupful of powdered sugar. Winter Beverage. Three out of every five pounds of tea used in this country are consumed in autumn and winter. THE FLOWER GARDEN. Old Favorites Should Do Well with Attention to a Few Conditions —A List Given. Among the flowers that are old standbys for the summer garden are asters, sweet peas, nasturtiums, poppy, phlox, castor plant and sunflower. Asters should be planted in boxes in March and transplanted in the garden in May. The nasturtiums and sweet peas should have poultry netting held in place by stakes to vine on. With the exception of the aster, these flowers should be sown the last of April. You can depend on these flowers every time if you give them a good soil to grow in and keep the weeds away from them. If prevented from ripening seed by gathering the flowers as fast as they appear, they will come into bloom early in the season and produce flowers well up to the frost time. The old-fashioned sunflower can be used to advantage, and to give the garden a tropical effect the recinus or castor plant with its palmate leaves is strikingly effective. The castor plant and sunflower should be used as a background for the garden, and should be planted on the four sides of the garden and next to the fence, and the space of from three to four feet of the fence should be filled in with the asters, sweet peas, poppies, nasturtiums and phlox. —Orange Judd Farmer. THE NEW WASH-FROCKS. We Have a Return of "Sprigged Muslins" and of the Quaint Styles of Long Ago. Among the perfectly new kinks for wash frocks is the use of the old flowered French taffeta—wash cotton—and figured calicoes so highly finished that they have the look of damask. Plain materials in the same weaves are employed to trim these, but the solid decoration is very spare. One such imported gown seen owned the charming title of costume bergere (shepheress' dress). French calico was said to be the material, but the effect was like that of a toilet upon a Watteau fan. Upon a damasked white background were small bouquets of naturally tinted field flowers, tied with live knot ribbons in pale blue. This formed the upper dress, which was in a species of polonalise with faintly defined paniers and a square neck and flounced elbow sleeves. The lower skirt was of plain blue calico finely kilted and made decidedly short, and with this ravishing toilet went a high guippe and long undersleeves of embroidered white muslin. Great stress is laid upon the style of the gloves for entire wash gowns. French authorities declare kid to be entirely out of place.—Washington Star. GOOD FRUIT MERINGUES. These Are Very Delicate and a Ni Dessert for Luncheon or a Fruit meringues are so delicious and so easily made that it is a pity they are not oftener seen on our tables. Make a nice puff paste; line a pie-plate with it, about a quarter of an inch thick. Bake these shells in the oven, and prick them if they rise too much. Be very careful in lining the pie-plate to have the paste "fulled" on, so it will not shrink away, in baking. When the pastry shells are done, let cool, and fill them with rich apple sauce, stewed and sweetened and flavored; or fill them with canned peaches sliced and sweetened; or with quince, or other marmalade, or jelly or jam. Cover each pie with a thick meringue made by beating the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, adding gradually while beating two tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar and the juice of one lemon. Return the pie to the oven, where the heat should be gentle, and cook the meringue slowly until it is a firm, light brown, and it will not fall when cold. —The Commoner. Care of Shoes Boot and shoe trees are all very well if they can be afforded, but a set of them to accommodate the footgear of the average well-dressed woman represents quite a considerable expenditure. Tissue paper crushed and packed in the shoe answers every purpose of keeping it in shape and costs almost nothing. Patent leather shoes need special care to preserve them in good condition. When they are fresh and new they may be wiped over after every wearing with a soft linen cloth, and set in a closet that is not too cold nor too warm. Extremes of temperature injure the leather. As the shoes begin to show signs of wear they should be washed with a sponge dipped in lukewarm water, and after being carefully dried, be lightly brushed over with a patent-leather varnish sold for the purpose and applied with a camel's-hair brush. Not Obtrusive. An authority on such subjects once said that the moment a picture frame becomes noticeable something was wrong with it. This fact is so evidently true that even those of us who have no artistic education feel the in congruity of some things without knowing just what to say, or why, and it takes but a hint to open our eyes to certain points we had never thought about. Good intentions rarely survive the headache that actuates them.
