THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Golden Jubilee Of Wilberforce Univgrsity, of Wilberforce, Ohio, Fittingly Celebrated at Its Annual Anniversary--Register of the Treasury Dr. W. T. Vernon's Address. VOL. XII. Golden Of Wilberforce Univgrsity, o Celebrated at Its Annua of the Treasury Dr. W Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle- men: It gives me great pleasure to appear here to-day and speak as one bearing a message of good cheer, hope and encouragement from the great leader of this nation, your friend, my friend, the friend of all men who strive to make life worth the living—President Theodore Roosevelt. This is a great occasion. It marks the fiftieth year of progress of this great institution, replete with memories of Payne, Mitchell, Shorten and other pioneers now passed beyond, but who left-us lives of consecration and good deeds, culminating in this glorious harvest of usefulness and blessings to the race. As one honored by President Theodore Roosevelt—President of these United States, who thus gives to our church great recognition, and thus bids the humblest of my race to aspire, I come and bring to you his message, expressive of his interest in our welfare. He bade me say to you that he hoped for you all that you desired in this jubilee celebration and wished you all the greatest possible success. Be assured that every blessing and success which comes to us is pleasing to him—that our prosperity as a race is to this great man a pleasure and a source of gratification, and that the doctrine of the "square deal" and justice to all men is seeing its nearest fulfillment in the efforts which he to-day is making for all the people of America in every hour of his splendid administration of remarkable achievements. This occasion augurs well for Wilberforce University. On this platform are leaders in church and State, who have come to pay homage to this cause of education. Should I enlarge upon any one statement, I would say that so urgent are her demands, so beneficent her results, so glorious her achievements that men delight to honor education as the great uplifting, saving influence of the earth. The savage and the scholar, the follower and the leader, the chattering jargon or the poet's dream song, the idle, wasteful hand, the useful, skilled service all—all measure their difference by the one word—education. All our education must have one purpose—the preparation of the recipient for useful service to his fellow man. Douglas High Stocks To be properly educated is to comprehend one's rights, and at the same time to understand that one's duties are correspondingly great, and that as we deserve rights we shall receive them. This demand for rights will be more readily granted when made by worth as well as word. We each owe it to the world to labor for a better era, when righteousness and truth shall hold sway among men. I observe that the greatest efforts for reform socially are those movements tending to the betterment of the oppressed peoples of the earth, have come from efforts to put in force the teachings of Him Who died to make men holy. To work then to this end is to educate men to the higher and nobler ends of life. The supposition that laws externally applied can rectify all human ills is erroneous. Laws can be made repressive for the criminally inclined, but nothing can be substituted for the creation within of a clean heart, the lifting of a soul out of the quagmire of low thoughts and vicious aims. For this reason men are laboring to conform the mind of man to the better and higher things of life. We are learning that men can only be made wise and strong from internal causes, working outward, from which an awakened conscience arouses to the duties before one. The awakening of mankind to duties and rights as well, is an omen of good cheer to all who love their fellow men. These two are but complements of each other. It is the duty of man to man, race to race and nation to nation in civic affairs which have a sure result in the enlarging of rights, the performance of duties, the perfecting of fellowship. The preachment of leaders of the higher type is for this purpose. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt were each born with a mission to give, preserve and develop a nation. Up to this task of world uplift, following the inspiring lives and teachings of these great men must come that mighty army of educated men and women, who shall stand for all ideals fought out and wrought out by these. Such as these prepare the world to accept the best at its true value, make opportunity for the deserving and provide careers of usefulness for all their worthy fellows. THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC HON. W. T. VERNON. LL. D. That their efforts may not prove abortive, educators must be at work, preparing our youth—the sovereign hosts of a giant republic for their task. The differences in races that affect the social elements in American life must not prevent a unified purpose in the material efforts put forward for the progress of our common country. "Americans are we," must be the motto of our youth, and only by being educated, worthy Americans can we measure up to the demands of these time. Then let this institution go on in its great work of helpfulness and man-moulding for the Negro youth. Let true principles be taught to them, that shall stand the test inevitable, when they reach the outer world. And what shall these things be? They must understand that con- HON. W. T. V centrated service, whether in the lowly ways or in the higher walks of life is the need of this and every age. They must know that no individual, no race, no nation can survive whose ideas of true life is not service for one's fellow man. The doing of the work of to-day with the realization of a necessity expanding duty to-morrow, must be the view point of the youth of this race. Are we honest? Are we proficient? Are we worthy? These are questions men must ask and affirmatively answer for the Negro. Cleverness without goodness is an invitation to defeat. The Eternal Hand never points the wrong way. God has enough good people on earth to see to it that a righteous man succeeds. The great men --- of earth are those born with a mission, and who, seeing the right, dare to do it against every foe. When this race has learned that gold, not dross; true merit, not demerit; ability, not inability; right, not wrong; justice, not injustice; great purposes, not ignoble desires—in short, when we learn that the standard of the 'Aryan of the higher type in this twentieth century civilization is that which makes men great—then, emerge we more and more from obscurity, and assume that greatness which cometh to all who deserve the same. This age is the outgrowth of all past efforts to be great. Civilization, an epitome of the ages dead, sweeps before man. He sees before him mighty possibilities and unparalleled demands. Are we equal, are we worthy, are we ready for these times? Young ERNON, LL. D. men, 'tis with you. Young women, 'tis all with you. Let us each by proficiency and merit deserve and win the support and respect of all our fellow men. Let us stand for the better things of life in this day of strenuous demand. Let us measure up to that expected of the noble and true, not by vainglorious boasting or self-assertion, but by intrinsic merit. We shall thus help forward the day of glorious achievement for a race which, as generations come and go, shall do the work that Providence ordains in the divine economy of creation, and help forward the day of highest possibilities for the race of the earth. Believe me, when I say that proper education will enable the race to meet all demands, to stand ```markdown ``` every crucial test, carry him to the fore, lift him out of the depths despite untowardness and suffering, and there will finally exist a Negro, living a great life, thinking great thoughts, doing great things as an appreciated and potent factor in the mighty American republic.

HARDENED BY LYNCHING HARDENED BY LYNCHING Negroes they turn on the Whites Says Springfield Republican. Some of the Southern newspapers are marveling at the savagery shown by the lynchers of a white man at Wadesboro, N. C., a week or so ago. The man was in jail awaiting trial on the charge of murdering another white man. He was taken out by a white mob, and what followed is thus related in the Charlotte Observer. They fired a full volley upon reaching Main street and all along the route of a mile they kept up a desultory fusilade. The bare footed tracks of the lynched man show that they had him on the run. He was pleading for mercy and praying all the way. In front of a certain house he caught hold of a gate post or other stay and resisted. It was then as it is supposed, that his wrist joint was severed with a knife thrust His corpse bore a cut across the chest, besides this severed wrist his left arm was broken by a club blow. The coroner tells me that there is not a square inch of space above his knees not penetrated with bullets. Below the two knots of rope on the little pine limb the ground is still clamy. Yes, it is hard to understand, but one can easily see how schooling in the savage treatment of Negro offenders might avail to make similar savagery toward a white criminal easily a matter of course. It begins in the notiou that the Negro is of the brute creation, and ends very properly in losing sight of feeling of any such distinction. Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills, Not a Stone Has Formed. Capt. S. L. Crute, Adjt. Watts, Camp, U. C. V., Roanoke, Va., says: "I suffered a long, long time with my back, and felt draggy and listless and all the time.

I had headaches and dizzy spells also, but my worst time with my back, and felt draggy and listless and all the time. I lost from my usual weight, 225, to 170. Urinary passages were too frequent and I had to get up often at night. I had headaches and dizzy spells also, but my worst suffering was from renal colic. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I passed a gravel stone as big as a bean. Since then I have never had an attack of gravel, and have picked up to my former health and weight. I am a well man, and give Doan's Kidney Pill. credit for it." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. BRIGHT BITS BY THE WITS. Will & Must hold a mortgage on success.

"IT SAVED MY LIFE" Mrs. Willadsen Tells How She Tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just, In Time. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen "Before I wrote to you, telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me. My monthly periods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with fainting spells, headache, backache and nausea. How soon would you see I could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, I became regular and in perfect health. How been for you I would be in my grave to day. "I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to write you for help as I did." When women are troubled with irregular or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of an organ, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Refuse all substitutes. For 25 years Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge.

To the spectator the skirmish run is the most interesting of the matches, says Lleut. Frank E. Evans in Outing. Six hundred yards from the targets the thin line of skirmishers awaits the "Forward, march!" of the bugle. Then it wavers forward and at the 600 yard line hails and drops. With the last note of "commence firing" the rifles spatter and crack. Then on to the other ranges the line swings, now at quick and now in the cadence of double time, the men carrying their pieces in characteristic attitude. At the behest of the bugle the line drops to the ground and pumps out its leaden flight at the targets. The firing grows faster and more furious, the bugle rings out mellow and clear, and at the short ranges the line writhes with the quick flashes of magazine fire, and rattling shuttle of crackling sounds and the whirr of bullets. The crash and rattle of the ragged volleys lend a realism to this relentless advance by picked riflemen upon the silhouetted figures of the paper tagets that brings, even to the man who knows not the butt from the muzzle of a rifle, the old blood-lust back from the dim tomb of ancestors A Society Note. Miss Tissie Inkum, youngest daughter of Bullifat Inkum, Esq., was married yesterday to Mr. Dedleigh Bohr. The ceremony took place in the Church of the Holy Dividends and there was a large gathering of New York society, many guests having left their country houses and come to the city for the occasion. The church was handsomely decorated with wreaths and garlands of stock certificates. The bride's father being ill—from overeating—she entered the church on the arm of her uncle, the Hon. Greedy McGreedy. Her veil of tulle was held by a coronet of diamonds, and she carried in her hand a large basket of assorted jewels. She wore a riviere of gigantic diamonds, a gift of the bridegroom's uncle, Mr. Goshwotta Pyle. After a short wedding tour the newly married couple will spend a few days at Piunder-on-the-Sly, the home of the groom's grandfather—Life. A Good Reason.

TAKES TEXT FROM LINCOLN Large Audience Listens in a Drenching Rainstorm.—Gives an Account of His Stewardship.—Would Curb the Trusts. Oyster Bay.—President Roosevelt was pleased to justify his stewardship in a review of the year for the benefit of his neighbors July 4th. He spoke in the open air and nearly of his important utterances were delivered during a heavy downpour of rain. When he had finished both himself and his thousand or more auditors were drenched. No one deserted. The rain came suddenly and there was no shelter in sight and when the President paused while umbrellas were raised he remarked good-naturedly, "I am sorry for you ladies, but ashamed of you men because you are afraid you will melt." There was no doubt that the President enjoyed the downpour. When the first shower came he allowed himself to be covered with a rubber cape, but just as he had thrown it off it poured again and this time he took the wetting. To emphasize that his acts as President had been free from malice he begged pardon of the dominies and took a "text," illustrating his point from Lincoln. The sentiment of this text ran through his entire speech and when he said he would "curb the trusts" he emphasized that in doing this duty he would act without fear, favor or malice. He spoke for nearly an hour. He was cheered on by the waving of wet flags and cries of approval. Mrs. Roosevelt and the children were present at the ceremonies. The President spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and you, my old friends and neighbors, you among whom I was brought up and with whom I have lived for so many years, it is a real and great pleasure to have the chance of being with you to-day to say a few words of greeting to you and in a sense to give an account of my stewardship. "I shall take as my text the words of Abraham Lincoln, which he spoke in a remarkable little address delivered to a band of people who were serenading him at the White House just after his re-election to the Presidency. He said, (I quote from memory only). 'In any great national trial hereafter the men of that day as compared' with those of this will be as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good.' "We have not got the same problems, not as great problems as those with which the men of Lincoln's generation were brought face to face, and yet our problems are real and great and upon the way in which we solve them will depend whether or not our children have cause to feel pride or shame as American citizens. "So if we of this generation do our duty when face to face with our special industrial, social and political problems, our children and children's children shall be the better for it." "This year, in Congress, our chief task has been to carry the government forward along the course I think it must follow consistently for a number of years to come—that is, in the direction of seeking on behalf of the people as a whole, through the national government, which represents the people as a whole, to exercise a measure of supervision, control and restraint over the individuals, and especially over the corporations, of great wealth, in so far as the business use of that wealth brings it within the reach of the federal government. "When it becomes necessary to curb a great corporation, curb it. I will do my best to help you do it. But I will do it in no spirit of anger or hatred to the men who own or control that corporation, and if any seek in their turn to do wrong to the men of means, to do wrong to the men who own those corporations, I will turn and fight for them in defense of their rights just as hard as I fight against them when I think they are doing wrong." Fourth of July Pardon. Canon City, Colo.—Julian Sandoval was released from the penitentiary July 3rd under the terms of an unconditional pardon granted him by Governor McDonald in pursuance of a custom of the chief executive of the state to release a prisoner from the penitentiary in commemoration of the national Independence Day. Sandoval was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment by the District Court of Otero county when only eighteen years of age. He is of Mexican parentage, intelligent and of a pleasing appearance. He was convicted of murdering a man in Otero county bpt subsequent events cast a doubt on his guilt. No Anti-Trust Laws Pueblo. Colo.—Judge Dixon has handed down his decision on a motion to quash the indictment against the Retail Butchers and Grocers' Association of Pueblo. The association is charged with conspiring to restrain trade by virtue of its organization. In his decision Judge Dixon refuses to sustain the Indictment. He says: "Under the law as it now stands such combinations are not punishable. They ought to be, but it is for the legislature, and not for the courts to make them so. This prosecution will not have been in vain if it shall serve to draw general attention to the defects in existing law and awaken a sentiment for wholesale anti-trust or conspiracy legislation." DEATH OF P. A. LEONARD. Prominent Colorado Newspaper Man Drops Dead in Denver. Denver.—Not knowing that her husband was dead and believing that he had missed the train, Mrs. Percy A. Leonard was speeding out of the Union station yards on a train for Ward on the morning of the Fourth while her husband was lying dead at the foot of the stairs of the Sixteenth street viaduct. He had expired at 7:30 o'clock as a result of heart disease. Mr. Leonard was one of the best-known mining men and publishers in the state. He had written many books and had contributed much to newspapers and magazines, writing largely on subjects pertaining to mines and mining. Mr. Leonard was fifty-nine years old. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard had planned a little outing on the Fourth, intending to go to Ward, Colorado, where their son Walter was spending his vacation. They left their home at 2968 Wolf street and started to the depot. Their arms were filled with packages of fireworks and delicacies, as it was intended to celebrate the Fourth with their son in fitting fashion. At the train Mr. Leonard bethought himself of some purchases that he had neglected to make. He told his wife that he would have to go uptown and that if he failed to catch the train she was to proceed to Ward and that he would follow her as soon as he could get a train. He left the depot and was attacked shortly after with heart trouble, from which he had suffered for some years. He made his way slowly down the stairs of the viaduct. Just as he had reached the second step from the bottom he was seen by several expressmen to waver and catch at the banister. His grip on the banister was weak and he fell heavily on his back. The expressmen rushed to his side and finding him apparently unconscious telephoned for the police announcement. Police Surgeon Preston found Mr. Leonard dead and notified the coroner. Mrs. Leonard was reached at Boulder by a telegram announcing her husband's death and returned immediately to Denver. The son, Walter, was also telegraphed and came at once to the city. Mr. Leonard was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and had been in Colorado thirty-two years. Since his arrival here he has engaged in mining and publishing and was wonderfully well versed in the science of mineralogy and metallurgy. In Colorado he had been the publisher of the Chaffee County Times in Buena Vista; the Leedville Dispatch at Leadville, and Ores and Metals and the Western World in Denver, being editor and publisher of the last named journal at the time of his death. Mr. Leonard is survived by the following children: Oliver L. Leonard of Chicago, Dr. Ethel Langdon Leonard of Los Angeles, Hugh Leonard of the Hill & Leonard Publishing Company of New York City, Ralph G. Leonard, a well-known scenic photographer, but now of New York; Allen L. Leonard, eighteen years of age, who graduated from the North Denver high school this spring, and the boy Walter. He also has a sister, Miss Virginia Hewitt Leonard, who has for years made her home with his family. Agnes Leonard Hill, a sister of Perry A. Leonard of Highland park, near Chicago, is an author of note. Dr. Ethel Langdon Leonard, the daughter, is professor of Bacteriology in the Southern California University. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard were married in Chicago in 1870. Mrs. Leonard is the daughter of Major E. O. Crittenden of the famous First Michigan Engineers and Mechanics, one of the most noted Michigan regiments during the Civil War. VETERANS AT MONTROSE Grand Celebration, Games and Drilling Contest. Montrose, Colo.—Montrose did herself proud in a grand celebration held July 4th in honor of the three days' session of the Western Slope Veteran Association. The annual meeting began Tuesday after the arrival of veterans and members of the Woman's Relief Corps, accompanied by the Grand Junction Drum Corps. The session opened with a bean bake and a campfire last night at Knights of Pythias hall. C. M. Bally, president of the association, delivered an address of welcome, followed by H. J. Frothingham of Delta and numerous veterans. EAST WEST A large parade, participated in by civic societies and school children, passed through the principal streets, which were gaily decorated. The parade ended at the speaker's stand, where Mayor John Gray extended a hearty welcome to the visitors. He was followed by Senator H. T. De Long of Grand Junction, who delivered a stirring patriotic address. There were numerous sports, but the greatest interest centered in a rock drilling contest, for the championship of the Western Slope, between four teams. Bailey and Jordan of Delta drilled first in a large block of Ophir granite, which is said to be the toughest stone in the state. They had bad luck with their steel, breaking a sharp point of one drill off in the hole, which took them a long time to get through. However they drilled 21 3-16 inches in the fifteen minutes. The terrible Swedes of Ouray, world champions, Lindquist and Lindquist, father and son, followed. Their work was the prettiest and most systematic, neither missing a stroke in the entire time. Their score was $33\frac{1}{2}$ inches, said to be the best yet made in Ophir rock. Olson and Holmquist, another pair of Swedes from Ouray, drilled $20\%$ inches. Thomas and Kane, from River Portal, scored $29\%$ inches. There were three prizes in this contest, the first being $150. Low Rates East Via the Rock Island DATES— July 1 to 10, inclusive.

NEGRO EDUCATORS Negro educators are attaining a degree of proficiency that is winning for them places of distinction and honor. The Baptist Home Mission Society that spends nearly three hundred thousand dollars annually on its eight great universities for Negro education, not more than five years ago said, it would be twenty-five to fifty years yet before a Negro president could be put in charge of its schools, giving as a reason that the professors and that colored and white teachers alike would not respect a president of color and that discipline and order among the student body would not be satisfactory with a colored president. This is the same argument that is made for not appointing colored officers in the army. This great educational society, however, has altered its argument and as an experiment has made a beginning by appointing Prof. John Hope, one of the teachers, as president of Atlanta University. This is the first time in the history of Freedmen education by Baptist that a Negro has occupied the president's chair in the exclusive Home Missionary schools. If Prof. Hope proves a success at Atlanta we expect very soon to see Negro presidents at Richmond, Shaw Bishop and Roger-Williams universities, the largest and best schools for Negro education conducted by the Baptist denomination. Here again is evidence that the Negro who is prepared to do the best work will sooner or later find the doors of opportunity opening to him. SEMI-CENTURY OF THE GREAT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY. During the week of June 18th, Wilberforce University, the great school of the A. M. E. church, celebrated its fifteenth anniversary, Register of the Treasury Dr. W. T. Vernon, represented and spoke for President Roosevelt at the meeting. Notably among the things said by Prof. Vernon was: "The savage and the scholar, the follower and the leader, the chattering jargon and the poet, the wasteful hand and the useful skilled service, all measure their difference by one word—education." To be properly educated is to comprehend one's rights and at the same time to correspondently understand one's duty. This demand for rights will be "more readily granted when made by worth as well as word. We each owe it to the world to labor for a better era "When righteousness and truth shall hold sway among men." These are carefull O ONE who knows overwork and sees starvation staring her in the spite of heroic effort to toil when that overwork and underpay; to a half decent rag to cover the wretched after an exhausting day's work wear at all—in a word, to one who she needs to consume for her own pelled to starve or to suffer in the produces—to such a one what must be the time when she sees women—sisters of one child of one God—living in wastefulness and living the profits wrung from the working peas.

Some years ago in front of a shop window I saw a little woman, shabbily dressed in black, who stopped to look at a gown displayed there. The tag told the admiring public outside that the gown would cost $250. The little woman worked her fingers nervously, and although there were no tears in her eyes, one could plainly see that it was because constant weeping had dried up the fountains of her tears. "And my baby was starving to death," she murmured, without emotion—"and my baby was starved to death!" And as she walked away I heard her say: "There is no God—no, there is no God!" Let us suppose that a "woman of fashion" had seen this little woman and heard her say these things, do you think it would have altered her entire conception of life? I think it would. But somehow when the same woman hears or reads about these things the words have little meaning for her. To her it is a fairy or witch's tale. Sometimes it draws a tear, sometimes a sigh, and as often as not a generous check to a charitable society; but nearly always the terrible, calloused life goes on. There are few women in any class who fully realize that they are loved for what they have in them, and that women who have most worth in their souls usually care least to put much worth on their bodies. Under existing conditions it costs something to put humility in the place of pride and vainglory and to choose to walk humbly with God rather than proudly with men. But men and women who once get an understanding of the sources of their incomes and of the underlying conditions that produce poverty and all the suffering, sickness and death that poverty entails, will pay that "something"—whatever in their individual cases that something may be—will pay it gladly, because they will believe it worth the cost. Wonderful gowns into which women sew their very heartstrings; yet have not enough means, with all their excessive labor, themselves to be nobly clothed as becomes human beings, and who never get the time even were they to get the means—and all for what? That other women, who neither toil nor spin, may be arrayed like the lily. Heaven help them to realize how scarlet is that seeming whiteness!

That the transition has been too swift for him, that he does not appreciate his exertion from a primal mission resembling that of the father bee, which, its function of parenthood accomplished, perishes midair, is proved by the pessimistic and reiterated declaration of his essential polygamy he is wont to make in his candid moments to-day. He is, by his own confession, a polygamous creature in a monogamous strait-jacket. He is a failure as a husband because, while his mind has constructed castles of illusion for us to dwell in, he has had all along a secret conviction that he, personally, would rather live in a cave. He has built the house beautiful of marriage on the quicksand of human impulses and desires, and, while insisting that we should never set foot outside its threshold, has generally found it too small for himself. Our economic dependence on him made it possible for him to dictate both our conduct and his own, to bound our emotional horizon by the gilded circlet of the wedding ring, while his eccentric orbit swept, comet-like, the uttermost realms of space—and, like most comets, by the way, came home at moderately regular intervals. As women, we should not quarrel with our horizon, nor should we shrewishly arraign poor man because he has civilized us at his expense. We must realize simply that emotionally we are centuries ahead of him, and that we shall have to wait patiently for him to grow up, and meantime moderate our steps to his, just as we do when we take the baby out for an airing. For our sakes possibly he hitched his wagon to a star, when he might have preferred to ditch it in a slough. Whatever heights we occupy, we should beg to remember that he brought us to them in his wagon, and the only legitimate fault we can find with him is that, like Tom Thumb in the fairy story, when his parents tried to lose him, he strewed pebbles by the wayside and so finds his way back occasionally to the cave. Though a failure as a husband, he has made a success of us as wives. Whatever he may be himself, good women, like towers of ivory, top the summits of his most beautiful dreams—though Pisa has no monopoly of leaning towers, to be sure. Our dependence has wrought our own salvation. Our dawning independence must work his, for we will be able to instill singleness of heart in him as for long centuries he has dictated it to us. Then, indeed, he will not be a failure as a husband, and we will love him then perhaps, as we do now, less for his success than for his failures. weighed words and sound advice to students and worthy of recording in the archives of the race's memory. Prof. Booker T. Washington, who delivered the principle address on this occasion advised Negro Methodism to federate. "Union is the watchwork of the day and colored Methodism ought to catch the spirit of the age." Wilberforce is to be congratulated on the attainment of its fiftieth milestone. Its founders built wisely and the great A. M. E. church that has fostered and cared for this great institution is proud of its having attained honor and distinction as an educational institution. May it live long to reach the century mark with still a grander history and thousands of worthy graduates. THE FOURTH OF JULY. The great National holiday has come and gone again. By many it was celebrated in the same old way. Leisure, pleasure seeking, rest, recreation, games, picnic parties, etc. But not a few thoughtful men and women are beginning to ask: Does not this occasion mean more than rioting, firecrackers and a good time? Surely it does. Aside from horse racing, base ball games, dancing and presenting arches of welcome to the city as witnessed when the new arch at the foot of 17th street was formerly presented to and accepted by the City of Denver, Fourth of July would have little value and much harm if its real lesson was not seriously meditated upon. In the first place its meaning to us as a race is, Independence. By independence men learn to trust God and depend upon themselves in great crisis as well as peace. The Negro as a people need this lesson deeply impressed upon them in sober thought in these trying days. Another lesson of the day is, liberty. This great word has a world of meaning if it be seriously analysed. It means my rights and other peoples rights and the distortion and correlation of both. If we enjoy rights we must perform corresponding duties. Privileges are inseperable from obligations. "Taxation without Representation" is a principle to-day as it was in 1776 and the Negro should address himself seriously to see that he has the benefit of it. Patriotism the recognition of country, home and institutions, is emboided in the lesson of the day. That life, labor and blood is the value of homeland as witnessed by the National cemetaries. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. Patriotism cannot be forced, ordered, simulated, assumed or inherited but is an outgrowth of recognition of virtue, love, courage, strength, sacrifice and reward. If our country shall give every man a "square deal" and an "equal chance the Negro will never be wanting in the noble virtue of patriotism. And last but not least, is the need of men, manly men of the 76 spirit. National life cannot be built on the basis of material force alone. If history proves anything it shows that the bulwark of a Nation's strength is not in physical resources but in men, high minded, strong men.

In our last weeks issue we made mention of the fact that Carsie B. Morris of this city, would on Monday evening, July 2nd, participate in the annual oratorical contest for the Governor's Medal held under the auspices of the Illinois Historical Society at Chicago. The contest is over and it is with extreme delight for us to note that Carsie captured first prize—the Governor's Medal which is made of gold. Mr. Morris graduated in June in a 3-year Draftmans course at the Armour Institute and was the only Negro among the four students selected by the society for the contest, and winning as he JOHN B. HARRIS CARSIE B. MORRIS. did over his white opponents is sufficient proof that his merit was superior. This victory is not only a credit and honor to the young man, but to the race it adds another bright star to the vocabulary of Negro genius. The talent possessed by Mr. Morris is a natural inheritance, as his mother, Mrs. Esther Morris, is endowed with no little amount of high cultured literary talent. He is the grand-son of the Rev. J. H. Hubbard, the present Presiding Elder of the Denver district of the A. M. E. church, and who is one of the best known and most efficient workers in the A. M. E. connection. All honor to Mr. Morris and we join with his innumerable friends in extending to him the glad hand of congratulations on his well-earned victory. As we have said before, his good manners and his energies of thrift coupled with that of his excellent literary talent are bound to make for him a mark that the race should take pride to follow as an example. --- A Worthy Citizen. The cut which appears below is a good likeness of J. J. Johns, one of the best known and most efficient aailroad boys in the West. Mr. Johns, who runs in charge of an Observation or Parlor car from Denver to Glenwood Springs on the Denver & Rio Grand Railroad, is a native of Arkansas but has lived in Denver for several years, during which time he has lived a life that commends the highest recommendation. In whatever avocation of channel he has occupied in life he has never been "weighed and found wanting," in fact we know of no one whom we could better recommend for honesty, punctuality and faithfulness than Mr. Johns. Such men always make good and worthy citizens. He is a jolly and genial good fellow and his friends are numerous. Local Notices.

The Colorado Chautauqua is an institution whose name has become known in every part of the South and West. Its grounds are located on the Colorado & Southern railway, at the edge of Boulder. The Chautauqua opens July 4th, each year, and continues for five weeks. The greatest lecturers, educators, entertainers and musicians of America appear upon the platform. The location of the Chautauqua is unsurpassed for beauty and healthfulness. Imagine a table land covering 300 acres on the eastern side of a vast mountain chain, whose summits are tipped with everlasting snow. On the right nature has formed a mighty chasm, whose recesses are lost in the dome of the continent. On the left, a mile away and 500 feet below, nestles the loveliest little city in America. In front is spread out a mighty plain extending away toward the boundless prairies. At the foot of the level mesa on which the surprised and delighted beholder stands, is an enchanting valley, whose carpet of emerald extends as far as the eye can reach to the north, and from which arise the sounds of the farm, the gentle lowing of cattle, the faint bark of a dog or the distant rumble of a train of cars, slowly threading its way toward the limitless horizon. The secree is one of entrancing beauty. It hills to restful meditation, and as the eye drinks in the infinite softness of mountain 'and plain, and the physical senses absorb the balmy sweetness of the atmosphere, the spirit is involuntarily lifted in adoration of the Mighty Power which created the surprising vision. Most Chautauquans are students; hence, the Chautauqua Summer School. An effort is made to meet as nearly as possible all the demands of those in attendance. The institution is of a popular character, interesting and practical, thorough and progressive. The instructors are all men and women of recognized standing who lend inspiration to those who attend their classes. The work should appeal very strongly to teachers who are anxious to have an outing and at the same time feel they must pursue a definite line of study to better fit them for their next year's work. To them are offered opportunities for review of the common branches, for work in psychology and pedagogy, in primary methods, in literature, and many other branches of study. Others will find real delight and relaxation in the Woman's Council, the literary and art lectures and other classes told of in this announcement. A copy of the general announcement containing all the details of this season's session will be forwarded on request by T. E. Fisher, general passenger agent, Colorado & Southern railway, Denver, Colo. USE Miller's Favorite J. Veterinary Liniment FOR YOUR HORSE.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS AFTER DOING MUCH VERY IMPORTANT WORK ```markdown ``` Washington. — Promptly at 10 o'clock Saturday night Vice President Fairbanks, in the Senate, and Speaker Cannon, in the House, declared the final adjournment of the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress. For the first time Congress adjourned on the day which closed the fiscal year. Other sessions had adjourned before and some after June 30th, but the Fifty-ninth Congress ended its first session on the day when the government strikes its balances and closes its books. There were some interesting features to mark the end, which came when there was less than a quorum in either house. Many senators and representatives, believing that the adjournment would come early in the day, made arrangements to leave in the afternoon, and did not remain for the closing scenes. An error in the enrollment of the sundry civil bill caused quite a furry about the capital. It was found by Secretary Root after the bill had been signed by the President that an appropriation for $3,000,000 for a site for a public building in Washington, a provision which had been eliminated by Congress, appeared in the copy. After some perplexity the error was corrected by a joint resolution. Important Bills Passed. Washington. — The work accomplished by the session is told by Speaker Cannon as follows: "In my judgment the work done and the legislation enacted in the session closed exceeds in importance for the best interests of the people the work of any session during my thirty years of public life. "I have not time to make a complete review of all the legislation. Sufficient to say that the legislation covering the appropriations and the authorizing of public expenditure has been most carefully considered and wisely enacted. The legislation commonly referred to as the rate legislation, the pure food bill, the inspection feature of the agricultural bill—all are measures that affect the interests of all the people, and while nothing perfect can be enacted, I am satisfied that the operation of these laws will demonstrate their wisdom. "And I believe, if nothing else had been accomplished than the enactment of these three measures, they alone would be sufficient to make the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress memorable in the history of the Republic." Before Congress reconvenes the first Monday of next December—unless entirely unforeseen events demand an extraordinary session in the meantime—the fruits of rate regulation, meat inspection, pure food regulation and other reforms will have been tested. Dirt will be flying in Panama and a lock canal will be in course of construction. Arizona and New Mexico will have determined whether they want to join fortunes and come into the Union as a state. The things of moment that will be set moving, in short, will be mighty and far reaching. The session has been a strenuous session from start to finish. The measure which caused the greatest debate is the railroad rate bill, which received final action in its passage Friday. The more important legislation may be summarized as follows: Pure food enactment and the meat inspection provision. A uniform and more strict method of naturalizing aliens. The immunity of witnesses from prosecution who give testimony before government tribunals clearly defined. A bill removing the internal revenue tax on denatured alcohol. The type of the Panama canal was fixed. Locks for Panama Canal. h. The President is to build a lock type canal, and was given a total of $28,000,000 for the year for that purpose. It was required that material for the canal should be of American manufacture unless the President shall find the price excessive, in which case he is given authority to buy abroad. The consular service was given a complete new legal status, which will permit of an entire reorganization. Appropriations for the session aggregate nearly $900,000,000. This is a greater sum than has been made available since the war Congress of 1898. The annual appropriation for the state militia was doubled, and hereafter $2,000,000 will be spent from the federal treasury for the purpose of keeping the state military organizations in touch with the regular army. Congress gave great care to the draft of a bill intended to preserve the scenic beauty of Niagara falls, and the measure was missed. The tariff to be collected by the Philippine government on goods entering the island trade was revised. Railway employers' liability bill became a law. President Praises Congress. Washington. President Roosevelt after its adjournment dictated a statement concerning the work accomplished by Congress during the ses Montezuma Valley Canal Cortez, Colo.—A contract was entered into June 30th by the directors of the Montezuma Valley Irrigators' district with T. C. Henry, Sons & Co. of Denver, by which the latter agree to provide the $250,000 cash required to purchase the Montezuma canal for the district and also to complete the canal and storage system adequate to supply the 68,000 acres of irrigable land within the district. The distribution system is to be completed by May 1, 1907, and the storage reservoir a year later. The contract will be submitted to the voters of the district for their ratification at an early meeting. There will practically be no opposition. Land values have advanced twenty-five per cent. today and the valley is on the eve of the greatest prosperity in its history. sion. He says that the present Congress has done more along the lines of constructive statesmanship than has been accomplished at any session with which he is familiar. He says that men of genuine patriotism have a right to feel "a profound satisfaction in the course of this Congress." The text of the President's statement follows: "In the session that has just closed the Congress has done more substantial work for good than any Congress at any session since I became familiar with public affairs. The legislation has been along the line of real constructive statesmanship of the most practical and efficient type, and bill after bill has been enacted which has been of an importance so great that it is fair to say that the enactment of any one of them would have made the session memorable; such, for instance, as the railroad rate bill, the meat inspection measure, the pure food bill, the bill for free alcohol in the arts, the consular reform bill, the Panama canal legislation, the joint statehood bill and the naturalization bill. Unselfish and Wise. "I certainly have no disposition to blink at what there is of evil in our social, industrial or political life of to-day, but it seems to me that the men of genuine patriotism, who genuinely wish well to their country, have the right to feel a profound satisfaction in the entire course of this Congress. I would not be afraid to compare its record with that of any previous Congress in our history, not alone for the wisdom, but for the disinterested high-mindedness which has controlled its action. "It is noteworthy that not a single measure which the closest scrutiny would warrant us in calling of doubtful propriety has been enacted, and on the other hand no influence of any kind has availed to prevent the enactment of the laws most vitally necessary to the nation at this time." Principal Appropriations. Washington.—Chairman Tawney of the House appropriations committee made the following statement as to the appropriations for the fiscal year 1907: "The total appropriations made at this session of Congress, including those carried in the regular appropriation acts, all deficiencies, miscellaneous matters and permanent annual appropriations, aggregate $880,183,301. "This is an apparent increase of $60,000,000 over the appropriations made at the last session of Congress. "This is more than accounted for in the three following items: "For the Isthmian canal, $42,447,000; under the statehood bill, $10,250,000; toward the construction of new buildings authorized at this session, $10,321,000, making a total of $63,018,000, to which might be added properly $5,000,000 for San Francisco. "Other notable increases are $3,000,000 for inspection of meat products and $10,600,000 on account of the postal service. "The total apparent appropriations made at this session, $880,183,301, do not constitute in their entirety a charge against the revenues of the government for the next fiscal year, for the reason that there must be deducted deficiencies that are chargeable to the service of the current year and to meet expenditures already incurred on account thereof, approximating at least $25,000,000. This sum includes $16,000,000 for the Isthmian canal. "There should be deducted also $57,000,000 for the sinking fund, which may or may not be met in whole or in part, as it is purely a matter of discretion with the secretary of the treasury to utilize the surplus for that purpose. "There should also be deducted $22,000,000, which is estimated and included in the whole sum of appropriations to be paid out of deposits of national banks in redemption of circulating notes of banks. The deposits are not credited as a part of the revenues of the government, and therefore redemptions made from the fund thus arising should not be charged to expenditures. "The $25,456,415 appropriated for work on the Isthmian canal is payable from or reimbursable to the treasury out of bonds that are authorized to be sold for that purpose and should also be deducted from the appropriations for 1907." "The sums mentioned amount to more than $128,000,000, and when deducted leave apparent appropriations of only $741,000,000 to be met out of the revenues of the next fiscal year. "In my judgment the ordinary revenues of the next fiscal year will amount to at least $600,000,000. The postal revenues are estimated at $181,975,000 for 1907, making the total apparent resources of the government for next year not less than $781,578,000, or at least $40,000,000 in excess of appropriations that may be charged against them." Denver.—Five hundred thousand dollars will be paid by the government of the United States to buy a building cite in the city of Denver. The following telegram received Saturday night is explanatory: "Washington, D. C., June 30.—Hon. A. J. Spengel, Denver: Bill has passed. Carries $500,000 for site. Denver gets most liberal treatment of any city in its class. The telegram was in response to one sent to Mr. Bonynge Saturday by the Chamber of Commerce. The bill referred to is the general appropriation bill and will become a law. The Brand That's Always Good "BAXTER'S BULLHEAD" 5 c CIGAR. The Baxter Cig MECCA CAFE AN The Baxter Cigar Co. Denver.

One of the strangest cargoes a vessel could possibly have was unloaded at the London docks toward the close of March, says the Scientific American. It consisted of several sacks filled with dried files, consigned to a large firm of grain merchant. These files, originating in Brazil, have been purchased for use in the manufacture of food for chickens, cage birds and the like. They were caught on the river Amazon by Brazilians, who travel up the river in flat-bottomed boats and who are provided with gauze nets, with which they capture these insects in millions, as flies hover in dense clouds over many of the swampy reaches of the Amazon. The files thus caught are killed, dried in the sun, and then placed in sacks. Upon arrival in London they are mixed with millet and other grain and are sold as chicken food, etc. Some time ago the Brazilian government, fearing that the fish in the Amazon river would be starved, forbade the exportation of files; hence the price of this strange commodity, which used to be 6d per pound, has now risen to 15 6d per pound, and often a little more. China Awakened. A competent authority on things Chinese states that during the last two years China has made more real advancement than in the previous millennium—a judgment with which Dr. Joseph Franklin Griggs, medical missionary at Peking for the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, is heartily in sympathy. He calls the changes now in progress in China "a miracle of natural rescuscitation"; and has prepared an authoritative account of these changes which will appear in the July Century under title of "China Awakened." In Germany 2,405 dogs were killed for food in the last three months of last year, under official inspection. How many more were privately or surreptitiously butchered it would be impossible to estimate. The journal quoted sums the matter up with the remark that the German nation's food "depends more and more on the dog."—New York Tribune. Will not make you nervous. Ask your dealer or The M.

George Westinghouse, the inventor of the air brake, has been described as "a hundred horsepower man." Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco, when first elected three years ago was leader of an orchestra in a theater. Mayor Ekers, of Montreal, is addressed personally as "your worship," and in the third person as "his worship." Twenty-five years ago Secretary Taft was law reporter for the Cincinnati Times and later for the Cincinnati Commercial. President Diaz returned from a hunting trip the other day with three mountain cats and 17 deer. Mexico's president is only 76. Ambassador Whitelaw Reid sent a check from London recently for the Miami university library fund, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation in June. Former United States Senator Petter, of Kansas, has not disappeared. He is only in retirement compiling a summary of the Congressional Record from its beginning, classified by topics. Bob Taylor, the ex-governor of Tennessee, who has just won a United States senatorship at his party's primaries, was the author of the remark about Mason and Dixon's line that it was "the line of demarcation between hot biscuit and cold bread." Former Congressman Jefferson M. Levy, of New York, has received a reproduction of Paul du Bois' statue, "Military Fortitude," presented by France last September. It is in return for the statue of Thomas Jefferson, presented by him to the French national museum at Algiers. Judge J. T. Fleming, of Oklahoma, is unique. He served in the confederate army, voted the first time in his life for Grant, and the last time for Harrison. He believes that every union soldier should be paid a pension of $50 a month, inasmuch as they saved the greatest union of states on earth. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. An association has been formed for the purpose of supplying, under certain conditions, spectacles to children in London elementary schools. The education committee of the London county council has been revising the list of prize books given to pupils. Among the books struck out as "not quite suitable for children to read" are "Vanity Fair," "Dombey and Son," "Pendennis" and "Great Expectations." The recent convention of learned men at Berlin has advised the government to establish two kinds of lyceums for girls, one of eight years, corresponding to a high school in this country, and another with a supplementary course of four years, preparatory to the university. Joseph C. Graveur has been schoolmaster in the Tombs prison, New York city, for seven years. His pupils are the young men and boys awaiting trial for various offenses. Mr. Graveur has exerted an influence for good upon thousands of boys. There is not such another school in the world. The schoolmaster lets the boys ask him whatever they want to know. There is no set form of study. One question leads to another, and the Tombs school takes more the form of a general information bureau than anything else. A Kisser's Boom.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years' stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: "I had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. "Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stomach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. "I cried out in alarm, 'Quit drinking coffee!' why, 'What will I drink?' "Try Postum,' said the doctor, 'I drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has.' "Well, that was two years ago, and I am still drinking Postum. My stomach is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he decided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders.

Denver.—At a meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night a perspective of the plans for the new building submitted by L. A. Desjardins of Marean & Norton was adopted, and if all arrangements can be carried out the cornerstone of the structure will be laid September 1st at the time of the Pike's peak centennial, when many prominent Y. M. C. A. men from all parts of the country will be in Colorado. The building alone will cost about $255,000, the site and furnishings bringing the figure up to $250,000. It will contain five stories and a basement and will be constructed of light stone and brick. Its interior will contain every modern comfort. A swimming pool 20x60 feet built of tile and with shower baths will be the feature of the basement. Here will also be located a cafe and kitchen, bicycle room, barber shop, four bowling alleys, a billiard and pool room, besides a large engine and machine room. On the first floor entrance, which will be on Sixteenth avenue, will be the rotunda or mail hallway. It will be 125x60 feet and will extend back to the alley. To right of the hallway will be placed the offices of the secretary and on the left will be the reading rooms and refreshment apartments. In the rear will be an auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 and 3,000 lockers. A large gymnasium, together with rooms for the physical directors and various educational classes will be located on the second floor. Quarters will also be provided on this floor for the junior department. The remaining three floors will contain the dormitories. There will be 106 of them, each with its private bath and lavatory. As all the rooms will face on the street or a court they will all be light. Ex-President Cleveland III. Chicago.—A telegram was received here Thursday night stating that former President Grover Cleveland was sick at his home in Princeton and would be unable to come West next day as he had intended. A Princeton, New Jersey, dispatch says that Mr. Cleveland is suffering from an attack of asthma, to which he is subject. His condition is not serious. FACTS CUARANTEED FACTS CUARANTEED Neuralgia and Anaemia are Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For nearly a generation the people of this country have known Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, during which time proof of thousands of cures by this remedy has been published and confirmed and not one person has been harmed in the slightest degree by their use. The pills contain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution. "For over a year," says Miss Charlotte Van Salisbury, of Castleton, N.Y., "I suffered from neuralgia and palpitation of the heart. My skin was pale and sallow and I was troubled with dizziness, fainting spells and fits of indigestion. I was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound. At times a great weakness would come over me and on one occasion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk. "Of course I was treated by our local physicians and also consulted a noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day I read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I immediately gave them a trial. I soon felt much better and my color had begun to return. I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was entirely cured. "My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suffered terribly from anamia. She was pale and thin and we feared that she would become a victim of consumption. She tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and in a short time she began to gain in strength and weight. She is now strong and well and we both heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are in ill health." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

In a rural town in Michigan lived a family named Beaver, noted for their hardiness in all manner of naughtiness. They were the great torment of the minister's life. Finally, one of the boys was bit by a rattlesnake and sent for him. He found the lad greatly scared and very penitent. After some conversation, the reverend gentleman closed the interview by prayer. "O, Lord," he began, "we thank thee for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that a rattlesnake has hit Jim. Send another, we pray thee, to bite Tom, and one to bite Joe. And, O Lord, send the biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old man; for nothing less than rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver family to repentance."—Metaphysical Magazine. Allen S. Olmsted Wins in Court The Foot-Ease Trade-Mark Sustained Buffalo, N. Y.—The Supreme Court has granted a permanent injunction with costs against Paul B. Hudson and others of New York City, restraining them from making or selling a foot powder which the court declares is an imitation and infringement on "Foot-Ease," now so largely advertised and sold over the country, which the court has ruled is Allen S. Olmsted of Le Roy, N. Y. and the decision of this suit upholds his trademark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive "Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing on the market the spurious and similar appearing preparation involved in the case. This the court declares was designed in the court's mind to infringement of the genuine "Foot-Ease" trademark. Each package of the genuine Allen's Foot-Ease has the facsimile signature of Allen S. Olmsted on its yellow label. TWICE TOLD TALES. In an English court, recently, a man was fined £2 for contempt of court. He offered a £ note in payment, but was told by the clerk that he had no change. "Oh, keep the change," was the reply; "I'll take it out in contempt." A Frenchwoman was complaining to her husband that he was too much of a bookworm, that he retired too often to his study, leaving her to spend many evenings alone. "I wish," she ended, plaintively, "that I were a book. Then I might always have your company." "In that case, my dear," the Frenchman answered, "I'd wish you were an almanac. Then I could change you once a year."

Colburn and treats of the early settlement of Utah; the Mormons and Gentiles; the natural wonders of the State; its resources, and of its growing cities and towns. The whole State is clearly and adequately described and a careful reading of this publication cannot fail to be of benefit to anyone desiring to keep posted on the resources and progress of our great Western Empire.

France imported $300,000 worth of apples from Canada last summer and fall. In 1904 Denmark sent to England over 85,000 tons of butter, valued at $45,000,000. It is thimted that 1,000,000 tons of steel rails for 1907 delivery are under negotiation, and that fully half that tonnage has already been placed. It is said that the hides of American live cattle sent to England to be killed and eaten are by prearrangement all sent back across the Atlantic, there to be tanned, and, mayhap, reshipped to England as leather or in boots and shoes. Shipments of anthracite coal during May amounted to 3,254,320 tons, against 6,005,158 tons in May last year. For the year, to date, the shipments aggregate 19,709,783 tons, contrasted with 24,872,954 tons in the corresponding period last year.

DAME FASHION'S DECREES BY ELLEN OSMOND Fashions for the Children Dress for Outing Wear Mammas wear pink as they have not employed this rosy color in many a long year, and the wee girls follow the lead of the mammas. Without question, with better result—for pink is not always kindly when years have piled up. It is very lovely, however, against the peaches and cream, the fascinating smoothness, of a child's skin; and the little mails in pink add not a little to the summer beauty. --- The frock may be a simple pink lawn, a lace trimmed China silk—the kind of material does not make a great deal of difference. Get the right shade and shade and material that will bear tubbing, and make the frock with short sleeves and round neck. Baby arms and baby neck are so pretty, should not be concealed. A The little model here shown is a nice one, the skirt frilly, the sleeves bourfant, the round neck giving a pretty babyish effect. The sash adds not a little to the ensemble—and to the small girl's delight. Very few frocks for girls are now made with long sleeves, many with nothing but a full puff at the shoulder; but for play dresses a longish sleeve is desirable, that the arms may be protected so when "best" is put on they be not all scratched and unlovely. White stockings look well with all frocks, perhaps are somewhat daintier than those matching the dress, though these are very popular. For misses wear pounce has become This season the athletic girl need not push back her sleeves in untidy scrubwoman fashion, or turn down her collar in like manner when bent on vigorous play. The waist variously denominated—Peter Pan, tennis, golf, negligee—solves the problem for her. It has roll-back cuffs and three-quarter sleeves, and comfortable lay-down collar. With the Peter Pan the summer girl may enter into vigorous play and yet keep that fresh daintainess so admirable for dainty femininity. And the athletic girl of the moment is distinctly feminine, mannishness has retired into the background—for which we should all be thankful. This season a girl need not stride as though determined to proclaim herself "athletic," need not exhibit brawny arms to advertise prowess in the field, need not drag a bag of heavy clubs as sign of modernness. The girl that exercises is now an accepted fact, the time passed for assertion of a disputed point. And her dress has become more temperate, less explosive. It was in America the sensible short skirt came to its own, it was in Amerien the shirt-waist first saw the light of day; and these have flourished in spite of ridicule by the French woman, exaggeration by the English woman. And are not these the foundations of the outing dress, taken together with thick-soled shoes and cool shade-hat? Almost any woman can build up a presentable outing rig from among the articles in her wardrobe; it is the few that go in for a costume devoted exclusively to outdoor sports. Probably you have a short skirt in your wardrobe, then add to it a tennis waist such as we have described, and there the frock is provided for. A plain sailor is an appropriate hat to wear with this, and the sailor to-day very much in style. If buying a new dress we would advise short skirt and a jacket that may be worn open or closed. After strenuous exercise the sung jacket is often needed, and it is also well to provide for sudden changes of temperature, especially if one is off on a camping or walking trip. Two styles of shirt waists are especially appropriate, the Peter Pan and the plain linen waist with long sleeves. There is a liking at present to make the latter severely plain, without plaits or any fullness at all. A small pocket on one or both sides is allowed, otherwise the waist is quite a great favorite, and a colored pongee with white mull sleeves and necker makes a most attractive and cool little costume. A hunter's green pongee had for trimming small white pearl buttons, repeating the white of neck and sleeves in a pleasing manner. Young malds follow their mothers in wearing black with white, and with their white linen dresses affect black hair ribbons, black hose and shoes. They also show a liking for the pretty black and white striped wools and mohairs with pipings of black silt. Pretty colored linen dresses amany are worn by girls in their teens, and the lingerie dress is reserved for state occasions. The one-piece dresses are preferred, and with voice, cuffs and girdle of lacey insertion they are so dainty and filmy. Fine materials reign, and simplicity. Mull is a favorite, worn as it has not been for some time past. Summer coats for misses are plain enough to be remarked—usually donned only for outing occasions, where the clever young women know it would be suicidal to wear anything ornate. There are also some very plain white linens and serges, and the pongee coat is made like these, minus trimming. The elaborate bolero is affected by some young girls, but looks fussy and as though the wearer was in too much of a hurry to grow up. The white lingerie party dress may be all white or combined with colors. One excellent model recently brought to our notice was a frock of white embroidery whose wide crushed girdle shaded from palest lemon to deep orange. A fetching hat with this would be a lacey straw in burnt-orange shade. Again speaking of misses coats, we would mention the loose long coats of striped black and white mohair. Some of these are considerably trimmed, have deep revers of black taffeta, black braiding and fancy buttons. They look very pretty on a cool summer evening, and are fancy enough for any occasion, simple enough for almost any occasion. The lingerie hats multiply daily and daily grow prettier. The other day a little girl passed by with the daintiest one yet seen, a pink mull, light as thistledown, fresh as a plak rose. It was shirred to fit the crown pretty close, and the trimming was a single white baby rose pinned on here and there apparently at hap-hazard, the stem sticking out straight with apparent awkwardness that presently resolved itself into unconscious grace. The color of the hat ient a glow to the baby face that was exquisite. ELLEN OSMONDE plain. This style is especially popular with the riding costume, is considered best of style. It is cause for thankfulness that the stiff, hot, thoroughly uncomfortable riding "habit" has vanished. On summer days the horseback riders look so cool and fresh in their white shirt waists and wash stocks, their sensible sailor hats. A number of men are seen on the country roads riding with- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY DRESS FOR OUTING WEAR. out coat or waistcoat; man, too, haz/ got back to shirt sleeves. Tub dresses are favored by not a few equestriannes, the skirt material linen or khaki. They are so made that by arrangement of buttons they can be transformed into very fair walking skirts. suitable also for the side-saddle skirt. A shepherd's plaid skirt with plaid black coat has a certain smart look liked for the outing costume—though they have become pretty common. Pongee is brought into use even for the play dresses, and of course lines is in great demand for this purpose.

How an Oregon Forest Fire Was Started by the Wrath of a Hunter. "How did this terrible forest fire get started?" inquired the tenderfoot from Indiana, according to the Portland Oregonian. "Well, you see," said the obliging Oregon man, "last week me an' Si Hanks wuz up in the mountains on a huntia' trip and Si wuz 'bout seven miles from camp an' wanted to light his pipe." "Oh, I see—and he threw down the lighted maten and set the woods afire." lighted match and set the woods afire.” “No, you don’t see. Jest lemme tell my story. Si wanted to light his pipe. He had put a bunch of matches in his pocket the night before in the dark. Si kep’ a-congratulatin’ himself on having a plenty of matches, an’ he waited till he could set down an’ smoke an’ drunk in the inspirir’ scenery. Si wuz jest as eager for that smoke as a tomcat is for his dinner when he sees a bowl o’ cream with the kiver off. Finally Si seen a big rock—the finest rock for a seat in the hull state of Oregon, and the finest piece o’ scenery from Puget sound to Mexico. Si set down, pulled out his old pipe, an’ filled it fully o’ the best toobacker that grows. Then he reached in his pocket for a match and fetched out a wooden toothpick. He dove in again an’ fetched out another. Then he pulled out the hull bunch o’ matches an’ found they wuz nothin’ but toothpicks—an’ seven miles to camp. An’ then Si Hanks set the forest afire.” “I don’t see how he could do that if he had no matches,” said the dubious tenderfoot. "Ye don't, huh?" "I certainly don't." "Well, Si Hanks jest naturally set them woods afire with the lightnin' of his wrath." PLANTS OF ARID REGIONS. Tender Growths That Survive Long Periods of Severe Even the deserts have their botany, as the desert botanical laboratory at Tucson, Ariz., is witness. The water relations of the plants of arid regions so delicately are adjusted that a slight variation in the available supply or in the relative humidity of the air produces a quick and notable effect. A shrub called the ocotillo had been without leaves for several weeks, owing to a long period of drought. One day three gallons of water were poured slowly in the ground at the base of the plant; next day leaf buds were observed, which by the afternoon of the next day had become an inch long, and four days afterward were full grown. The period of activity of plants depends on the period during which they retain their leaves. In the case of desert plants growing under adverse condition to the large amount of moisture present in the air, which retards transpiration and thus assists the plant in reserving to some extent the amount of water at its disposal, it is considered probable that the leaves absorb atmospheric atmosphere in sufficient quantity to be of biological importance. It has been proved that stems of ocotillo absorb both water and atmospheric moisture; it also has been shown that a branch of ocotillo without leaves can absorb a sufficient amount of water to induce the formation of leaves. PICTURES SENT BY WIRE. Picture telegrams have been wired from Nuremburg to Munich, 100 miles away, and apparently could have been sent ten times that distance with equal ease. In Prof. Korn's apparatus the sketch or photograph must be translucent, and is attached to a cylinder of glass mounted on an axis by which it is slowly rotated, moving at the same time from right to left—in fact, moving much as the wax cylinder in the phonograph does. A beam of light is directed on the cylinder and passing through it, modified by the image on that particular cell within the cylinder. This cell forms part of an electric circuit. The resistance of a selenium cell varies according to the light falling upon it, and in this way the current flowing in the circuit of which the line forms a part is modified. The receiving apparatus consists of a similar cylinder revolving synchronously with the first with photographic paper fastened outside it, and with a Nernst electric lamp occupying the place of the selenium cell. The light of the lamp fluctuates in unison with the light falling on the selenium, and so affects the paper and reproduces on it the image on the first cylinder. Island Mystery. "Treasure island" is still a mystery. The steam yacht Rose Marine, which left England in October, 1903, to search for the treasure which tradition says pirates concealed on Cocos island, in the Pacific, has returned to Southampton. Capt. Mathews, the skipper, is reticent as to the results of the voyage, and only says that his belief in the project has been strengthened. The work of searching the island is very difficult. Hollow Lead Soldiers By a secret method a London firm is able to make hollow lead soldiers. This greatly reduces the cost of production, and the trade in these toys, which once belonged almost exclusively to Germany, is now rapidly increasing in England. The weight of the hollow soldier is one-third of the solid. Private Secretary Makes Two Mis-takes, One of Which Was Laughable. An official of one of the departments at Washington says that whenever he encounters an unknown person he is reminded of an amusing experience of the private secretary of a late secretary of war, relates the New York Times It appears that this private secretary before he got well acquainted paid the attention to persons he did not know to be of importance. One day there entered the ante room a member of the cabinet whom the private secretary had never seen being ignored by the secretary, considerable time, the distinguisher visitor finally entered the room of the head of the department unannounced. Undoubtedly he made complaint in the matter, for the next day the private secretary received a reprimand from his chief. The next day one of the first persons to enter the private secretary's room was a distinguished-looking old man with a long, patriarchal beard. Bearing in mind his experience of the day before, the private secretary received his visitor with every mark of consideration. With a polite bow he offered a chair to the old gentleman, who accepted it not without an expression of some wonder, a fact the private secretary himself observed. The latter seated himself opposite his distinguished caller, and with his most engaging smile asked: "And now, sir, what can I do for you to-day?" "Oh, nothing much," replied the man with the patriarchal beard; "I've dropped in to wind the clocks." SEASON OF EXAMINATIONS When the Teachers Are Treated to Some Rare Examples of Erudition Some teachers the other day were lunching together, relates an exchange. "A little boy," one said, "handed me a paper on physiology yesterday. In this paper, describing shemaking and an occupation injurious to the health, the boy wrote: "This trade is injurious because the shemakers press the shoes against the thorax, and, therefore, it presses the thorax in, and it touches the heart, and if they do move die they are cripples for life."" "In an etymology lesson," said a second teacher, "a little girl defined dust as 'mud with the juice squeezed out.' A boy defined a snake as 'thing that is tail all the way up to the head.' A young Indian defined a baby as 'a meat doll.'" "Those definitions," said a thin teacher, "are as good as the well known ones that describe a ship as a prison with the chance of being drowned;' dogmatism as 'puppies come to maturity;' anxiety as 'spread out thin,' and a prodigy as 'every mother's first baby.'" BARBAROUS PUNISHMENT Russian General Gives an Exhibition of the Brutality of the Czar's Minions. Gen. Dragomiroff, the aged adviser of the czar, rose from the ranks, and always dressed according to the army regulations for the common soldier. One day, relates the New York Times while driving about St. Petersburg in his carriage, he noticed a soldier with hair longer than the regulations called for. He had the horses stopped, aligned, and, taking off his hat, ordered the soldier to seize him by the hair. The soldier hesitated. He feared to lay violent hands on his general; besides the hair was clipped too close to afford a hold for the hands. The general surveyed the soldier sternly for a few moments; then, twining his fingers in the latter's locks, he literally wiped up the street with him, the victim not daring to resist. Finally, having impressed the lesson thoroughly, he reentered his carriage and drove on, ordering the soldier to follow. At the first barber's shop the came to he again alighted, and had every vestige of hair shaved from the soldier's head, then turned him loose as a horrible example to his fellows. Wonder Worker James Bruce, the eighteenth-century traveler and explorer, owed his discovery of the source of the Blue Nile to his ability to amaze the Abyssinians. He had some reputation as an astrologer, but his cure of smallpox was more of a feather in his cap as a medicinal man. His firing of a tallow candle through a table established his fame still higher as a worker of miracles. His taming of savage horses and shooting of kites on the wing were the final maneuvers which opened the way to the river to whose discovery he had dedicated his life. Collies in the Tropics Several trained Scotch collies have been used by the Germans in the southwest African campaign, but, as cording to reports received in Berlin, the dogs have proved an utter failure. Apparently the animals lose the sense of smell after they have been in the tropics for any length of time. Royal Artizans King Edward has played many part in his time, one of them being bride maker and builder. At Osborne then still stands a small fort erected by the king and his brothers. At Balmora there is a tool shed which was entirely constructed by Prince Albert as sons.
