THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY National News. What Congress Accomplished During Its Session Just Closed. President Roosevelt Says it was the best Since His Connection with Public Affairs. VOL. XII. National What Congress Accomplished Closed. President Roose Since His Connection Washington, D. C., July 2.—The anxiously looked for hour was fast approaching. Weary, and fatigued statesmen were vigorously fanning themselves to keep cool, feeding final bills into the legislative hopper and wearily watching the clock over the Speaker's desk. The anxious hour was ten o'clock the time agreed to for adjournment and promptly at that hour the Speaker and the Vice President arose in their respective houses and with a fall of gavels the great and notably first session of the fifty-ninth Congress was hammered into past history. This first session of the fifty-ninth Congress was indeed a record breaking and history making Congress. Of its great work and achievements, President Roosevelt, Saturday evening, had the following to say: "In the session that has just colsed the Congress has done more substantive work for good than any Congress has done at any session since I became familiar with public affairs. "The legislation has been along the lines of real constructive statesmanship of the most practical and efficient type, and bill after bill has been enacted into law which was of an importance so great that it is fair to say that the enactment of any one of them alone 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, in Panama canal legislation, the joint statehood bill, and the naturalization bill. "I certainly have no disposition to think 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 could 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." Of course it is not usual to regard the laws passed by the Congress of the whole people as law passed in interest of or for any particular class or race. All the laws of Congress for all the people, is what it should be. With this view, it would not perhaps be well to claim that this Congress enacted any special legislation or did anything in particular for the colored people or for any other class of people, as a special class. But it is nevertheless true that there are some very important measures brought up during the session just past in which the colored people figured very largely and in which they had special occasion to be more or less interested. Of that class of vile, dirty reflectory "race speeches" often heard in previous sessions; this Congress, it is said, was treated to only one of them, and this was made by a Democrat from Kentucky. I do not believe, however, that the speech was given much publicity, nor did it do much harm, as the gentleman who attempted to break into the lime-light by making it is what is termed a "fourth rater"—and a "fourth rater," you understand, is about the lowest congressional rating—in other words, the gentleman from Kentucky did not amount to much, and happily the speech against the colored man, he made, partook largely of the condition and character of the man who made it. Mr. Tillman, the vitol spitter, who usually furnishes Congress with just this sort of amusement, did not do his usual "stunt," that is he did not make his customary speech against the black during the last session. Another interesting legislative phase of this last Congress, that was interesting to the colored people, was its attempt to establish a definite and fixed designation for those people of African extraction who constitute a large portion of the citizenship of the United States. There seemed to be a feeling among a large class of the statesmen, especially the Democrat members from the South, that these people of African extraction had no name by which, as a race of people, they could be separated from other people. The question came up on a parliamentary point inquiring into the correctness of using the word "colored" in the school bill for the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1906. District of Columbia. After some discussion the word "colored" was stricken out and it was settled, or attempted to be settled, that the word "Negro" was the proper designation for these citizens of the United States of color. It is very evident that the word "Negro" is very offensive and objectionable to a large class of these people of color in this country. They claim that the word is nothing more or less, that it has become nothing more than a synonym of degradation, and while Congress may adopt it and a large number of people may use the term, the lawmakers did not make it lawful to employ other terms when referring to the people, so those who do not care for the term "Negro" may happily use some other word or some other designation. The House of Representatives of this past Congress may well be proud of one noble and just act it did—an act, also, in which the colored people are especially interested. This act was the passing of a resolution to pay $10,000 to the estate of Samuel Lee, a colored man elected to that body from South Carolina during the reconstruction peroid. The house at that time, in the contest over his seat, decided that he was rightfully entitled to it, but he never had a chance to take the oath of office and hence was never permitted to take the seat or draw his salary. A number of attempts have been made to pay the estate of this man the money that was rightfully his, were blocked by the Democrats, and it could never be gotten through until now—and it was gotten through at this session by the most heroic measures. Mr. Williams of Mississippi resorted to every trick known to parliamentary usage to keep the house from passing the resolution, but the speaker and the Republicans were determined and after an application of the "gag" it was rushed through the long and tardy justice due a colored congressman of the distant past was done. The rate bill, of course, was the most important piece of legislation enacted by the Congress just passed and you will remember that this measure was of considerable interest to the colored people as well as all other people. The interesting feature of this bill to the colored people, as you well know, was the Warner-Foraker amendment—commonly known as the "national jim crow" amendment. The facts concerning this legislation are well known and I only refer to it here as making up some of the legislation of the past Congress in which the colored people might have had special interest. The Senate, you will remember, did a bad thing when it inserted that amendment in the rate bill and did a "mighty" good thing when it took it out. But of the first half of the Fifty- ninth Congress, as I have repeatedly said, is past history, and its members, many of them, have gone back to the people to give an account of their stewardship, and as to whether or not it was a good or bad Congress, these same people will decide at the polls next November.

Mrs. Mattie Brown of Denver came over on the Fourth and spent a couple of days the guest of her sister, Mrs. McSpratten. The Japanese social and candy pulling held on the church lawn Thursday night was among the enjoyable social functions of the week. "Because I am Black," was the title of an original poem by Miss A. M. Brosius of Jefferson City, Mo., which was read by her at the A. M. E. church Sunday night. It was very much enjoyed by all who heard it. Miss Brosius is quite accomplished in literature and is a finished musician on the piano. Quarterly meeting services were held last Sunday at the A. M. E. church. It was an old time soul-stiring meeting and added new inspiration to the followers of God. The members and friends of the church are quite proud of the success the church is making under the pastorship of Rev. George W. Tolson. RACE NEWS Gathered from Vartous Sources.

Indianapolib. July 8.—Aaron Morton, a Negro, shot and killed his wife on a crowded street tonight and was pursued several blocks by a mob of 1,000 persons bent on lynching him. Morton succeeded in reaching a fire station where he was given protection. Just as the mob was preparing for an assault on the building a detail of police rescued the Negro and he was taken to the city jail. During the pursuit a number of the mob fired at the murderer. "Slavery has been abolished throughout the civilized world," says the Globe-Democrat, "but it has remained for a Democratic paper printed at Potosi, Mo., to favor its revival as a matter of business expediency. This unique publication says: 'It is now claimed that the system of peonage practiced by the farmers of New Madrid county is necessary to the business interests of that section; that without modified slavery there can be no money made by capitalists of that section, and that it is therefore necessary to coerce the Negro, notwithstanding the provisions of the constitution against slavery.' What is the constitution between Missouri Bourbons? The capitalists of New Madrid can't make a profit without slavery, so they simply re-establish that peculiar institution. What could be easier, until Uncle Sam takes them by the scruff of the neck?" A recent dispatch from Madison, Wis., says at least 15,000 people spent yesterday outside of Madison because of a supersticious fear of the destruction of the city as predicted last week by a Negro exhorter, who said the waters of Lakes Mendota and Monona would rise up and engulf the city because of its wickedness. The exhorter called himself Prof. Jones. The prophecy was the talk of the city for several days and scores of timid people withdrew their deposits NO. 42. from the banks and left town. Hundreds crossed the lakes to pleasure parks and the railroads had to put on extra coaches to accommodate the outward rush. One man rushed a house boad to completion and with his family occupied it. University professors and ministers sought to allay the fear through the newspapers, but they failed. Most of the frightened people returned to the city by the following day. NEGRO SETTLEMENTS. NEGRO SETTLEMENTS. We are opposed to compulsory or voluntary segregation of the Negro in distinctively Negro settlements in large cities. They are simply the hot beds of vice and crime among a certain class of our people who take segregation to mean license. They commit any and all kinds of meanness, simply because they are to themselves. There is a woeful lack of respect for his kind shown by this element either in his own community or on the streets. Ladies passing the streets in this city any day have their ears and senses shocked by the vile profanity of this class of Negro men. These men do not hesitate to "rip out" the vilest oath in their presence and have been known to turn and utter some vile sayings, simply as an insult to well-dressed Negro women. This breed of Negro is a menace to any community. They cover the earth with their filth and slime and the decent, hard-working Negro gets the blame for it, and must bear the brunt of the devilment of this hellish breed,—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. Every one who has given this subject a moment's consideration are quite cognizant of the fact that every word of the above article is more than correct, and still the Anglo-Saxons in all cities of the United States are continually trying to create "colored settlements." In doing so you but retard the progress of the recently emancipated race; you depreciate the value of real estate, not only in the settlement, but all of the surrounding property as well. The Negroes, whether in the cities or in the country, should avoid colonizing and endeavor to get, homes in every quarter of a city or community. Kick as hard as he may or will nevertheless the white man is the black man's keeper, and likewise is the black man the white man's keeper, and the sooner both sides make up their minds to keep each other in a manner that will produce the very best results it will be the better for the whole of them. If a white or a black family disturbs the peace of a community put the law to it and endeavor to have it put so hard that the offense will not be repeated.—Seattle Republican. Little Girl's Desire Mabel had always worn high-topped shoes, much to hr own dissatisfaction, and one day while admiring her mother's slippers she said: "Mamma, can't I have a pair of low-necked shoes next summer?" With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. Foreigners, in their ignorance of the language, so often mistake the sultan's irades for tirades.—Albany Argus. Defiance Starch is the latest invention in that line and an improvement on all other makes; it is more economical, does better work, takes less time. Get it from any grocer. A wise man may profit by the actions of a fool. OPERATION AVOIDED OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY She Was Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped It. When a physician tells a woman su- fering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. Mitt Margret Merkley There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I had a female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this I strongly objected and decided to pay for the Vegetable Compound. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well." Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don't neglect yourself; try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. MILLIONS USE Cuticura SOAP MEDICINAL TOILET ICE 25 CENTS THE WORLD'S FAVORITE For Preserving, Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands.

DENVER FACTORY PROJECTED SUGAR PLANT TO BE FIRST OF MANY. MAY BUILD SIX IN COLORADO Eastern People Getting Contracts for Production of Beets Near Denver—Planning for Several Other Factories. Denver—On the authority of W. D. Hoover, it is asserted that Denver is going to have a sugar plant, probably at Argo, to cost from $750,000 to $1,250,000. The plant, it is stated by Mr. Hoover, according to the Republican, is backed by Eastern capital, which contemplates within the next few years the erection of other plants in different parts of the state. The Denver plant, it is stated by Mr. Hoover, will be read for operation to handle the crop in 1908 "We contemplate generally," said Mr. Hoover yesterday, "the erection of a beet sugar factory in Denver. At present we are not sure of the location. We have several sites in mind, and will, when the time comes, choose the one which we believe to be the most advantageous. What we seek is proper trackage facilities, and easy access to the producers of beet sugar. I cannot at this time say in what parts of the state we will erect other factories, for we are not sure of the exact locations. But it is our ambition to have at least six plants in the state, in locations which will be favorable. The capital comes from the East, and we have enough money in sight to carry on our plans as the developments warrant. I cannot, or rather I do not care to state, who is back of the proposition. "At present we are occupied with getting up contracts with farmers to produce the beets which will be needed to run the plant in Denver. Of course, it is a long process, that of getting a beet sugar factory into running order, and we cannot get ready before the season of 1908. We will then be in shape to handle the business. I believe that there is a good field here for a sugar factory. There are many farmers between the city limits and Arvada, in the Clear Creek valley from Golden here, in the Bear Creek valley and between Denver and Littleton. It is this field that will furnish the beets for the Denver factory. "We are working on the proposition now and before many months we shall be in a fair way to realize our plans. We propose, as the developments in the industry warrant, to establish those other factories over the state. We believe that there is a great opportunity in the state for beet sugar factories, and we are going to get into the field. The plant in Denver will have a capacity of 600 tons of beets a day at first. With time we hope to increase the capacity to double that figure. This will be the capacity of the other plants to be erected in different parts of the state. These will be enlarged when the occasion demands. We have looked over the ground at Argo and other places, but we have not yet made a selection. We are not therefore in a position to announce definitely where this factory is to be built." Mr. Hoover, who has offices in the Cooper building in this city, has been connected with the sugar beet factories of the state in times past. SUGAR COMPANY ACTIVE. Capital Stock Increased to Five Million Dollars. Denver.—An amendment to the original certificate of incorporation of the United States Sugar and Land Company of Colorado Springs was filed in the office of the secretary of state Wednesday, showing that the concern has increased its capital stock from $2,500,000 to $5,000,000. In view of the reports circulated to the effect that this company intends to construct a new sugar factory at Sheridan, Wyoming, news of the increased capitalization will be received with interest by those engaged in the sugar business and the business of raising sugar beets. The principal office of the United States Sugar and Land Company is located in Colorado Springs. Charles M. McNeill is President and O. H. Shoup, secretary. The company owns a sugar factory in Grand Junction, and one is being constructed at Garden City, Kansas. Municipal Street Railway. Monroe, Iowa.—In choosing motormen for what is believed to be the first municipally owned and built street railway in the United States, the street railway of Monroe, Mayor A. A. Porsythe, said that the first test for fitness to rthis position will be a total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors. "I am not a prohibitionist," said the mayor, "but it is absolutely essential that men occupying these responsible positions should be sober, sane and strictly reliable." It is expected the railway will begin operating in a short time. A remarkable feature is the fact that the road's construction has not directly cost the taxpayers a cent, all expenses being 'defrayed by revenues from the city's municipal waterworks, electric light plant, wharves and other municipally owned public utilities. Would Separate Prisoners. Denver—Governor McDonald, A. C. Dutcher, warden of the state reformatory at Buena Vista; C. E. Hagar, secretary of the State Board of Pardons, and others interested in prison reform have expressed the opinion that the tough and hardened prisoners at the state reformatory should be confined in a building by themselves, and not permitted to associate with the other young men. Instances are cited where comparatively innocent young prisoners have become desperate and unruly because of their being in the company of the real criminals in the institution. The Legislature will be asked for an appropriation to erect a new building. DENVER & RIO GRAND CITY BORN HERE JOHNSON Denver to Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

WE CAN AFFORD TO PAY MORE Women Teachers in Many Cities Paid Less Than Servant Girls—Situation Still Worse in Rural Schools. New Haven, Conn.—The American Institute of Instruction opened its annual convention Tuesday with sessions in several departments. In the department of public school finance Calvin N. Kendall, superintendent of schools in Indianapolis, spoke on the expense of the education which schools ought to give, saying in part: "This expense must be considerably more than at present for the following reasons: "First—The demands upon schools are constantly increasing. As an example, the farmers in some sections of the country are demanding that the elements of agriculture shall be taught. Manual training in its various phases is another example. "Second—More and more people live in the cities, and schools in cities cost more per capita than schools in the country. "Third—The cost of living has greatly increased in the past ten years. This seriously affects the net salaries of teachers. "Fourth—There are numerous well-paid and attractive employments other than teaching for both women and men. "Fifth—The public can afford to pay more for schools than at present because the country is prosperous, is growing richer, and good schools contribute as no other force does to the various kinds of productive citizenship. "The teacher is the determining factor in the success of schools. We demand teachers possessing good health, scholarly attainments, teaching power, social refinement and the ability to use good English. So far as schools fall short of teachers possessing these qualities so far are they wasteful and so far do they fail to accomplish their purpose—the production of intelligent citizenship and social efficiency. "Excepting New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, the average yearly salaries of women teachers in the elementary schools is only $556. In some of the cities the average salary is less than $500. So far as men are concerned, they have practically disappeared from teaching in the elementary schools of cities owing to the inadequate salaries. "The wages for women, therefore, in half the cities are less than those of servant girls, when it is considered that the latter pay nothing for board, room and laundry. Moreover, the servants have no social position to maintain as does the teacher, and the requirements of dress are far less expensive. In many cities the minimum wages of teachers are less than the laborers on the streets. This labor is entirely unskilled, while the teacher has spent years in preparation. The wages of skilled labor are from twenty-five to one hundred per cent. higher than teachers' wages. "The wages of teachers in the cities are princely in comparison with those in the rural schools. In view of the demands made up on them, teachers are therefore miserably underpaid. It seems incredible that the pay should be so inadequate for those in whose hands rests the training for citizenship." Mr. Kendall predicted that unless higher salaries are paid to teachers there would be a steady increase of private schools to which many thoughtful and discriminating people would send their children. STATE WINS TAX SUIT. Stratton Estate Will Pay Two Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars. Colorado Springs.—A decisive victory has been won by the attorney general's office in its fight for a state inheritance tax against the Stratton estate. This estate was originally appraised at $6,300,000, this valuation being vigorously protested by the executors because of pending suits against the estate in the Denver, federal and local courts. Assistant Attorney General W. R. Ramsey of Denver and Senator Arthur Cornfroth of this city have been arguing the case before Probate Judge Robert Kerr of El Paso county this week and the latter will enter a formal order next Tuesday. This will place the taxable valuation at $5,000,000, giving a state inheritance tax of approximately $280,000. In addition $600,000 of the appraised value of the estate will be held in abeyance pending the outcome of the various suits now on the docket of the several courts against the estate. Noted Mining Engineer Dead. Denver.—A telegram was received in Denver Tuesday evening announcing the death from erysipelas of Mr. Stanley Pearce of Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico. Mr. Pearce was a son of General Pearce of Denver and had a wide circle of friends in this city and state, especially among mining men. He had been engaged in mining operations in Mexico for seven or eight years, and of late years had been the manager of one of the largest mines in Sonora. He was a metallurgical expert of wide renown and had visited the principal mining camps of the Western hemisphere, from Alaska to South America. Thaw Declares Himself Sane. New York.—Harry K. Thaw Tuesday night, in the Tombs, gave out his first formal statement since he shot and killed Stanword White on the Madison Square roof garden. In it the young man utters a protest against being regarded as insane and declares his counsel assured him that no such course as the appointment of a committee to inquire into his mental condition is contemplated. The statement was handed by Thaw in person to the newspaper representatives. He gave it out without the permission of his counsel. COLORADO FRUIT COLORADO FRUIT FRUIT GROWERS APRANGE FOR FALL SHIPMENT? CROP BREAKS ALL RECORDS Estimated at Five Thquasand Carloads —Hundreds of Thousands of Trees Planted in Colorado Every Year— Will Soon Be Banner Fruit State. Denver.—Arrangements are being completed by the Western Slope Fruit Growers' Association, which is holding its meetings in Denver, for the shipping of the biggest fruit crop that Colorado has ever known. The total amount shipped out of the state will be 5,000 cars. California's, Missouri's and Michigan's banner years have been 6,000 cars. The fruit men declare that next year California's record will be equaled, and the following year, with trees in the condition they now are, Colorado will be the foremost fruit- shipping state of the Union. At the head of the fruit growers is John F. Moore of the Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association, the pioneer fruitman of the western slope. Others who have been in attendance at the meetings are: E. J. Dalton of the Fruita Fruit Growers' Association, George S. Conklin of the Delta Fruit Growers' Association, W. H. Garvin of the Paonia Fruit Growers' Association, Robert Halley of the Montrose association, Clarence Nelson of Nelson Brothers, Paonia commission men; H. D. Foy, the fruit growers' eastern agent at Omaha; George Granger, wholesale dealer from Lincoln, Nebraska; Don Campbell of Fort Worth, Texas, and Lyman Shonts, general freight agent of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway. Each summer the fruit growers come to Denver to make traffic arrangements with the Colorado Midland and Denver & Rio Grande from the western slope to Colorado common points and thence eastward. The business east from Colorado common points—Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs—will be divided between the various roads running between Colorado and the Missouri river. Rates satisfactory to both parties in almost every instance have been secured. The railroads have recognized the importance of the fruit shipments and their unparalleled increase and have granted rates corresponding to the importance of the business. "We are properous, more so than ever before," said John Moore, in telling of Colorado's wonderful crop for this year. "Ten years ago there was not enough fruit over my way to shake a stick at. Now we find that all the big roads of the country are being hard put to it to find cars enough to ship it for us. "The western slope will ship 5,000 cars of apples, peaches and pears this season. The apple crop is a little light. The peaches and pears are unprecedented. You never saw anything like it. Our biggest year before this was 1904, when we shipped 3,500 cars. Last year was a little off, and we only shipped 3,000 cars. With the new trees that have been planted and that are fast commencing to bear we shall equal the record of the greatest deciduous fruit-shipping states, California, Missouri and Michigan, in two years. "Why, do you know that in the little Grand valley, which is only eighteen miles long, 500,000 trees were set out in 1904, 500,000 more last year, and 700,000 have been planted this year? Do you realize what that will mean in three or four years from now? It will mean that Colorado will be the greatest fruit-shipting state of the country. "California ships more peaches and pears than we do now. Missouri ships more apples. Georgia and Michigan ship more peaches. But the output of those state has been increasing only slightly when compared to the tremendous gain that Colorado has made in the past five years." IRRIGATION CANALS. One Great Project Nearly Finished and Another Planned. Denver.—One of the greatest irrigation projects in Colorado, involving $300,000, is just being completed and this fact leads to the announcement of a still greater undertaking in the same connection which will cost $500,000, says the Denver News. Division Engineer William Rist of the state engineer's office is now assisting in the adjudication of rights to the Grand River ditch in Grand county, which is the project now about finished, after having been in course of construction for nearly five years. It represents one of the most important undertakings of the kind in the West. The Grand River ditch starts at the headwaters of the Grand, in Grand county, on the western slope, and carries water from what is known as the Pacific slope to the Atlantic slope, extending over a distance of seventy-five miles. It runs through Larkimer and Weld counties, taking the water to the numerous reservoirs around Fort Collins. During the month of July it is estimated that this great canal will carry an average of 500 cubic feet of water per second, which is equal to the irrigation of 25,000 acres. The land which will receive the benefit of this water lies around Fort Collins. No one is allowed to divert the water from the canal anywhere over the entire seventy-five-mile course. The second project, which is just being planned, and which undoubtedly will be carried out, is along the same line as the Grand River, but is even greater. It is planned to put a tunnel through the Boulder ridge, near the headwaters of the Grand, which will have an average of 700 cubic feet of water per second, and this will irrigate another enormous tract of land in northern Colorado. The cost of this tunnel project will be in the neighborhood of $800,000 and will make a total of $800,000 expended for irrigation purposes in that section of the state. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS/CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed, and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion.

TION. On August 30th the State of Kansas will in a fitting and picturesque way celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of John Brown at Osawatomie, where on a low hill at the west of the town by that name with forty-one armed men, he gave bloody battle to 400 Missourians and won the day. If the shots of Bunker Hill eighty years previous were heard around the world, the musketry of Osawatomie were heard wherever slavery's hydra headed power was intrenched and not until all slaves on American soil were free did the reverberations from John Brown's musketry cease. John Brown has been well called the Scipio Africanus of the New World and Osawatamie, "The Concord Battle" of the victory against slavery. In Lawrence, Kansas, about the first of last month, workmen excavating for building purposes came across a rusty printing press and decomposed bundles of papers on the very spot where fifty years before, "The Herald of Freedom." a newspaper published by John Brown, was destroyed by order of the United States marshal in 1856. It is now nearly fifty years since John Brown's body has been mouldering in the clay, but his great soul goes marching on. However rash and misguided his methods may have been one thing may be certain, the free soil of Kansas has never been tread by the foot of the slave. The best speakers and writers of the race may not be agreed as to whether John Brown was a fanatic or a hero, but one thing is true nobody ever accused him if being half-hearted in the cause of freedom. He suffered hunger, cold, dungeon and death for the Negro's liberty. Stern, relentless, uncompromising he brought to issue and to victory a cause which he held dearer than his own life. Colorado being a next door neighbor to Kansas we can share in the great achievements of the free soil patriot. The Negroes of this state should unite with the freedmen of Kansas in celebrating this notable event. Many of the magazines of this month contain special articles on John Brown and every Negro student ought to acquaint himself with the history of those stirring times. CON GRESS ADJOURNED. On another page will be found an interesting account of the work accomplished by the fifty-ninth Congress recently adjourned and the relation of the legislation as it effects people of the race. Several bills under consideration had bearing upon the Negro, one was the school bill of the District of Columbia, Howard University. A liberal appropriation was made for this institution and with its new president But the facts are quite different. It is not generally known that actual tests have been made by submitting the examination questions of 60 years ago to the children of to-day in similar grades. In the test made in Springfield Mass., it was found that whereas in 1846 there were but 40 per cent. who spelled in the test correctly, in 1905 there was 51 per cent. In arithmetic the contrast was even more remarkable. Sixty years ago 29 per cent. of the class had solved the problems correctly, while in 1906 65 per cent. were correct. So much for Springfield. The tests made in Brooklyn, N. Y., were even more striking. The questions were given to boys and girls in the eighth year of the elementary schools, where the children were much younger than in the tests made in 1846. The percentage of correct answers at that time had been 29, while in Brooklyn it was 71 per cent. In the arithmetical tests in 1846 the percentage of pupils who received 70 per cent. or more was 17, while in Brooklyn it was 35. Sixty years ago more than two per cent. missed every word and more than ten per cent. spelled but one word correctly. In the Brooklyn test there was not a pupil who missed every word nor one who spelled but one word correctly. Again, in the test in 1846 some 27 per cent. missed 17 words or more, while in the Brooklyn test but a trifle more than one per cent. spelled so badly. The figures speak for themselves. Very positive conclusions may be drawn from these figures. Instead of neglecting the three R's, it will be seen that our pupils are twice as proficient as were the children of 60 years ago, for all their oldtime brain tiring and uninteresting drill. Meanwhile our modern course has been extended to include execution and expression in improving those attainments that depend chiefly on judgment and memory. The acquisition of skill in any intellectual or bodily function develops a reserve of intellectual power to be drawn upon when occasion requires. The work is becoming less theoretical and more practical along all lines. it was railroad stocks. That was when the great west was being interlaced with railroads and the undeveloped riches of the country was making big dividends for the new ventures. Later it was the mining stocks that tempted the small investor, and millions of dollars went into holes in the ground, most of which never came back. Then the industrial stocks became the fashion, and the small investor rushed in neck and crop pellmell into the market wherever he could purchase stocks of all the tempting-looking propositions that were to revolutionize trade. The big successes in several incidents lent fuel to the flame of investment, and they bought outright or on a margin, as the case may be, till there was nothing to be talked of but industrials. Then the publicity of how some of them were handled caused a pause, and they stopped to think it over. Just then the announcements of the progress of the electrification of transit lines began to appear, and that took the mind's eye to fields and pastures and smug little villas only a brief ride from the city, where croquet lawns and a place for the dog were as common as the door mats in the flats, and then a couple of big transactions in suburban real estate appeared, which occurred at the psychological moment in which the small investor was wavering. tivities, placing "fun" above study. The system has become too tolerant and the remedy lies in the elimination of the elective course. I no longer am able to repress the fear that a changed conception of the purposes of a college course, first growing up in men's colleges in the east, is making its way westward, and already has reached us, though it has not yet seriously affected the universities still farther west. There never was a time, of course, when there were no idlers in college, but there was a time when colleges were less patient with idlers. A new idea has arisen on the part of the students, to take the place of the older one that a college is a place for study. It is thought that a college is a place for social and athletic activities. A man, it is held, must "do something" for his college in order to win an honorable position. But it is only the social leader, the athlete or the editor who is thought to "do something." Keeping up the traditions of the scholarship of an institution of learning, preparing oneself by faithful work for the business of life, is doing nothing for it. And so these precious four years, the fairest in a man's three score and ten, years in which study and reading and social intercourse and the fresh play of joyous young life may go hand in hand perfectly well, are being wasted. The remedy lies with the faculties. What they insist upon having done, students will do. Our system has become too tolerant. starts on a new era of usefulness. The fixed designation of the race by the words "colored or Negro" was a subject of debate upon the passage of the bill. After some discussion the word "colored" was stricken out and the word "Negro" inserted as the proper designation of the race. There is no real objection to the use of this term when it is snelt with a capital "N." It ought to be made to mean something honorable when found in print or used to classify a certain people. Another honorable piece of legislation enacted was the payment of $10,000 to the heirs of Samuel Lee, a Negro elected to the national legislature from South Carolina during reconstruction days, but who was never allowed to take his seat in that body. This amount was in payment for his salary and acknowledgement of the legality of his election. The measure received the united opposition of the Southern congressmen for years, but was finally passed by strategy of the Speaker of the House and Republican representatives. The Warner-Foraker amendment to the rate bill the most important piece of legislation passed during the session was removed before its passage. This amendment would have nationalized "Jim crowism," but the bill as passed has no further reference to the race. President Rosevelt extols the work of the last Congress as the most important in history of the nation, as the results accomplished was purely in the interest of the people. The legislation enacted was the following: Meat inspection, pure food bill, denatured alecohol, consular reform measure, Panama canal legislation, the joint statehood bill, naturalization and railroad rate bills. The race traducers and villifiers found little opportunity to hawk their goods in the last session. One of the short stock representatives from Kentucky and Pitchfork Tillman got off a few pyrotechnics, but the illumination from their fireworks lost their effects in the more serious work of the body and the public was spared the flaring red head line newspaper displays of the Negro problems. In the new questions pressing for settlement the perennial Negro agitation ought to be permitted to retire from the limelight and the greater question of the greatest good to the people be made the issue of the hour. T DENVER'S DECORATIONS. The municipal authorities, business men, merchants and individuals, besides local fraternities of Elks are in strong competition to show the visiting convention their interest and enterprise by decorating the city in honor of their Elks' convocation. Denver, always beautiful, is made doubly so when her citizens make up their mind to go on dress parade. The city is fast filling up with the antlered herds from the North, East and South and by the time this paper reaches our reders her doors will have opened to thousands of visitors. The largest reception of visitors outside of the G. A. R. last year is being looked for and they will be well cared for. This brings to our minds the attempt to prevent Negro members of fraternal orders from wearing pins and emblems of the order and causing their arrest as was done in New York City a few weeks ago when two colored men wearing the emblems of Elks of which independent order they were members being hailed into court, but on trial were discharged also writes to prevent Negroes from wearing badges of the fraternity were denied on the ground that as long as Negroes are denied admission to these orders that they have a right to organize lodges of their own and to use the words and emblems as the occasion demands. From time immemorial Negroes have belonged to all orders, but not until these later days have they been objected to sharing benefits established by them. Had this objection been sustained by the courts and the writ issued it would not be long before some supersensitive white man would have objected to Negroes being members of the church of their choice or resident of the city because this same church was organized or city founded by some member of the Caucasian race. There is as much good reason for one as the other and both should fail as they have done because neither are established upon sound principles of justice. The Negroes of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks ought to wear their badges and display their emblems and with the freedom becoming those who are proud of their order, knowing that they are protected by the courts from any interference, the same as the Masons, Odd Fellows or Woodmen. Denver's welcome is to be broad and not confined to Elks of one color. The Place of the "Three R's" in Modern Education By WILLIAM H. MAXWELL. Superintendent of New York City Schools. THE public schools have been a good deal crowded, is said to be a neglect of the "Three R's" and to special courses. As a matter of fact, the R's" have probably never been more careful now. I know that there are many people who to the barren instruction of 60 years ago, educational methods. It is said that children spell and cipher as well as those of half a century great has been the lamentation over the chieftain. But the facts are quite different. It is known that actual tests have been made by submitting the questions of 60 years ago to the children of to-day in the test made in Springfield Mass., it was found that there were but 40 per cent. who spelled in the test case there was 51 per cent. In arithmetic the contrast was remarkable. Sixty years ago 29 per cent. of the class problems correctly, while in 1906 65 per cent. were correct. So much for Springfield. The tests made in Bexley were even more striking. The questions were given to in the eighth year of the elementary schools, where the much younger than in the tests made in 1846. The perfect answers at that time had been 29, while in Brooklyn. In the arithmetical tests in 1846 the percentage received 70 per cent. or more was 17, while in Brooklyn, 79 years ago more than two per cent. missed every word ten per cent. spelled but one word correctly. In the Bexley was not a pupil who missed every word nor one who word correctly. Again, in the test in 1846 some 27 per words or more, while in the Brooklyn test but a trifle per cent. spelled so badly. The figures speak for them. Very positive conclusions may be drawn from the stead of neglecting the three R's, it will be seen that twice as proficient as were the children of 60 years old-time brain tiring and uninteresting drill. Meanwhile course has been extended to include execution and en-proving those attainments that depend chiefly on judgory. The acquisition of skill in any intellectual or body develops a reserve of intellectual power to be drawn upon requires. The work is becoming less theoretical and more all lines. HE public schools have been a good deal criticised for what is said to be a neglect of the "Three R's" and the tendency to special courses. As a matter of fact, the so-called "Three R's" have probably never been more carefully taught than now. I know that there are many people who would return to the barren instruction of 60 years ago, despite modern educational methods. It is said that children to-day do not spell and cipher as well as those of half a century ago, and great has been the lamentation over the change. it was railroad stocks. That was when the great waterlaced with railroads and the undeveloped riches of making big dividends for the new ventures.

Its grounds are located on the Colorado & Southern railway, at the edge of Boulder. The Chautauqua opens July 4th, each year, and contin- ues for five weeks. ‘The greatest lec- turers, educators, entertainers and mu- sicians of America appear upon the platform. The location of the Chautauqua is unsurpassed for beauty and healthful- ness. 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 ex- tending away toward the boundless prairies. At the foot of the level mesa on which the surprised and delighted beholder stands, is an enchanting val- ley, 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 secene is one of entranc- ing beauty. It lulls to restful medita- tion, and as the eye drinks in the in- finite softness of mountain and plain, and the physical senses absorb the balmy sweetness of the atmosphere, the spirit is involuntarily lifted in ad- oration of the Mighty Power which cre- ated the surprising vision. Most Chautauquans are students; ence, the Chautan.va 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 progres: sive. ‘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 anx- ious 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 psy- chology and pedagogy, in primary methods, in literature, and many other branches of study.

Prof. Yamashita, who is negotiating with Secretary Morton for a place as instructor of jiu-itsu at Annapolis, is mild eyed little man who apparently knows the jiujitsu game backward. He was at the white house a few days ago talking to the president, who has had a few lessons in the art of how to break the neck of your opponent without ruffling your hair or soiling your collar. Secretary Morton was there, too. Morton is more than 6 feet tall, with shoulders a yard across. Prof. Yamashita picked Morton as a lay figure for some experiments. He toyed with the big secretary as it he had been a child. Senator Lodge was there. He saw with amazement the way the little Japanese flung Morton around the room. After the exhibition was over he went to Morton and said: “Do you know, Morton, I was thinking of com- ing to your assistance.” “Indeed!” Morton replied, as he ad- fusted his disarranged clothing. “But as you are a conservative New Eng: land statesman you took another think.” — Washington Correspondence New York World. HE MILKED A cow. Political Speaker’s Triumph Over Skeptical Listener. John Barrett, United States minis- ter to Panama, who has been minis- ter to Siam and Argentina and com- missioner general for the Louisiana Purchase exposition, had a unique ex- perience during the late political cam- paign. While speaking in a new Eng- land town he made the assertion that he knew well what it was to work on a farm, ‘A young farmer in the crowd, made skeptical by the speaker's faultless Prince Albert coat, immaculate shirt front, palegray trousers and shining tle, shouted out: “You work on @ farm? Bet yer never milked a cow In your life.” “I take your bet,” said Barrett; “I will put up $100 against the same amount that 1 can milk a cow faster than you can.” ‘This dare was accepted. The Dem- ocrats raised a purse of $100 to match Barrett's $100 bill. Two cows were brought around. At the cry of “Ready! Go!” the milk rattled into the bottum of the pails, and Rarret’s pail was full first, the meeting winding up im a bidze of glory. —————————————— [N OPEN MESTING feeenee oo > Superior Laundry aR ACP 2 ERE SE RS SE REE DATES— ‘ July 1 to 10, inclusive.

REVOLTING CAVALRY FIRE ON LOYAL TROOPS, BARRICADED IN BARRACKS Russian Disorders Becoming Every Day More 6erious — officials Charged With inciting Anti-Jewish Riots. St. Petersburg.—A mutiny broke out “July 7th in the Kasarva regiment of cavalry at Tambov, and during the consequent disorder an infantry officer and @ soldier of the Nejina dragoons who attacked the mutineers were killed. ‘The mutineers have barricaded themselves in their barracks, _ The news of the mutiny at Tambov, which apparently 1s the most serious of such affairs since the Sebastopol mutiny, 1 confined to the bare details of a censored agency dispateh show- ing that the mutineers, when attacked by loyal troops, offered armed resist- ance before retreating to their bar- racks, where they are now barricaded. In previous mutinies this year the disaffected troops have submitted when confronted by loyal detach- ments. The outbreak {s a quick com- mentary of General Trepoff’s declar- ation in the interview with him pub- lished July 7th in which he affirmed that the cavalry could be more de- pended upon than the Infantry, be- cause their officers were in closer touch with their men. Dispatches received here today from Nova Tcherkask, whi¢h is in the center of the Don Cossack district, show that the authorities aro ex- tremely apprehensive as to tho effect of the speeches delivered in the lower house of Parliament in the recent de- bate on the Cossack question, and which were palpably intended to un- dermine the loyalty of the Cossack levies engaged on police duty. Regu- lar meetings of Constitutional Demo- crats, at which the report of the de- bate was to have been read, were dis- persed and the papers have been terrl- fled into omitting reports of the speeches. At Ust-Mediedista the Cossacks of the second reserve, who had been or- “dered mobilized for police service, have refused to join the colors. A company of Cossacks which had been garrisoning Ugvoka has been sent away on account of the soldiers’ refusal to fire on manifestants. Smarting under General Trepoff's epithet of liar, applied in the Interview published July 7th, Prince Urusott de: clared to-day that he was in posses: sion of full documentary evidence to prove his charges that anti-Jewish po: grom and excesses throughout the country had been inspired from St. Pe- tersburg and that they were not, as General Trepoft asserted, due to the arbitrary action of embittered local of- ficials. Prince Urusoff sald the docu- ments would be published within a fortnight and that the public would then be able to judge whether he or General Trepoff was a lar, Political demonstrations, during which the crowds carried red flags and sang revolutionary songs, occurred in many places in St. Petersburg yester- day afternoon and night, necessitating the interference of the police and mili- tary patrols. Street cars were held up and their occupants were compelled to uncover and salute the red flags, The most serious affair happened near the Moscow railroad, where and officer later identified as Lieutenant ‘Tom, made a revolutionary speech to.a crowd of 2,000 people. A detachment of police attempted to disperse the as. semblage, but the people armed them: selyes with stones dug up from the streets and beat off the police and a squadron of Cossacks. Eventually the Cossacks were reinforced and fired f blank volley in the air, whereupon the rioters fled.

C.—Secretary of Waz ‘Taft Monday night, before a meeting of North Carolina Republicans on the eve of their state convention, delivered a speech that was generally regarded as the opening one of the cougressional campaign of 1906. He sharply arraigned southern state legislatures for depriving the negro of the ballot by laws which were framed to cover both races, but were enforced only against the black, add- ing that if these laws were enforced regardless of color, nobody would com- plain of or be injured by them, Ho cited the political revolution in Maryland and West Virginia to show that changed industrial conditions were fast working out the regeneration of the South. ‘The speech also dealt with current political questions, opening with ad- vice to the rank and file of the party in North Carolina, and the South par- ticularly, and referred to the achleve- ments of the party in the session of Congress just closed. ‘The opera house was pagked to overflowing by a throng eager to hear the secretary of war and hundreds of persons were turned away because of the limited size of the hall! sTHE< ‘ # PASTIME SOCIAL CLUB # A RESORT FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NEWLY FURNISHED.

Effect of Food on Character. A scientist has recently been inves- tigating the effect of food, particularly vegetables, on the human character. He affirms that a diet of carrots ame liorates harshness of character and re- duces nervous irritability; peas create joyousness; while turnips have a de- pressing influence. Cabbage is good for pulmonary complaints; while lettuce gets as a sedative upon the human frame, owing to the opium contained in its milky juice. Peculiar Welsh Custom.

That was a sacrifice from the standpoint of sentiment, but what really good purpose did it serve? It is an awkward thing to transport and easily broken. It does not produce music and soldiers can keep step without its assistance. It is only within the lat few years that the suicidal foolishness of wearing bright uniforms in actual warfare was recognized. The folly of this was borne in upon England during the Boer war. The men of the Transvaal were fine long-distance marksmen and they put many of the most lordly mansions of Britain in mourning. There remains still another unless military incumbrance — the officer's sword. It interferes with his movements and is no longer of use in fighting.—Cleveland Leader. Champion Woman Ball Thrower. Miss Magery Belle of the University of Chicago high school recently threw a regulation baseball 204 feet 2 inches, which breaks the world's record for a throw by a woman by six feet, two inches. The record was formerly held by a woman student at Smith college. Miss Belle is the champion woman athlete in her school and throws a ball like a man, with a full sweep of the arm.

Control Reference, Carbonate National Bank [Name] PE-RU-NA STRENGTHENS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. Mr. Chas. L. Sauer, Grand Scribe, Grand Encampment I. O. O. F. of Texas, and Assistant City Auditor, writes from the City Hall. San Antonio, Tex.: "Nearly two years ago I accepted a position as secretary and treasurer with one of the leading dry goods establishments of Galveston, Tex. "The sudden change from a high and dry altitude to sea level proved too much for me and I became afflicted with catarrh and cold in the head, and general debility to such an extent as to almost incapacitate me for attending to my duties. "I was induced to try Peruna, and after taking several bottles in small doses I am pleased to say that I was entirely restored to my normal condition and have ever since recommended the use of Peruna to my friends." ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS. Delicacy Relished by All Animals Even the Hippopotamus Deserts Them with Pleasure. "The peanut is a delicacy relished by all creatures," said a New York animal lover. "I have come to this conclusion after having offered it to every animal in the Central Park zoo, and having it refused by none. "Oh, I know it isn't allowed; but I'm not one of those individuals who offer animals indiscriminate numbers of hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for that sort of nuisance the rule about feeding is made. A single peanut can't ruin the digestion of a camel—or of any other creature, for that matter, and I never visit the zoo without a bag or two of those legumes to distribute. "Yes, the camel is fond of them—very; and so are the peacocks. The hippopotamus obligingly opens his mouth to let me toss one in, but the mouth is so large and the peanut so small that I doubt if he can quite decide whether he likes it or not. "The kangaroo pokes his funny, horse-like head out to me, munches the peanut with relish, and then begs for more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and even the lion, are all lovers of the peanut." And He Needs No Schooling. All the paraphernalia of a civil engineer is in it with the strong arm of a young man when it comes to locating the girl's waist line. It's almost as difficult for a woman to keep a secret as it is for her to see the point of a joke. DOCTOR'S SHIFT. Now Gets Along Without It. A physician says: "Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stomach. "Last fall I began the use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and since then I have not had any indigestion and am feeling better and have increased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all of my patients suffering from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtax the stomach. "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For ethical reasons please omit my name." Name given by mail by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The reason for the wonderful amount of nutritiment, and the easy digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to find. In the first place, the starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through various processes of cooking, to perfectly change the starch into Dextrose or Post Sugar, in which state it is ready to be easily absorbed by the blood. The parts in the wheat and barley which Nature can make use of for rebuilding brain and nerve centers are retained in this remarkable food, and thus the human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers so easily noticed after one has eaten Grape-Nuts each day for a week or 10 days.

DENVER FY GULF If afflicted with sore eyes, use Thompson's Eye Water THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies: those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

Alcohol Tincture EGG OSEE THE FASHION At this time of the year the very prettiest possessions in the wardrobe are brought forth. No more saving now for great occasions, summer's reign is brief at the best, and let us wear out summer stuffs ere the season vanish. A group of warm-weather frocks of exceptional beauty we are tempted to dwell upon. One was a dull pink muslin, made in quaint modified Empire fashion; worn with this a short sacque coat of dark red glace silk, the hat a black chip draped with black lace and bearing a single red rose in front. A tall dark-eyed girl wore a white muslin dress and a short light blue glace coat, with a white lace lingerie hat trimmed with light blue ribbon. A matron looked exceedingly well in a little black glace coat accompanying a white volle skirt, a white embroidered collar standing out against the black of the coat. higher crowns, this ticeable on outing. The little coffee elaboration, but skim the plain. A well skirt always has more trimmed one, the life of the figure and more effect. The poors swers many purpose touch to a costume and is just the thim home when an unrives. No wonder hold in the world of A very pretty young girl is made and is an exception dictum just laid. frocks may be exe they are pretty and skirt is just a such the lowest about. White and yellow are sometimes very good together, especially if only a little of the color be used. A white Danish cloth dress, creamy in tone, and trimmed with straps of cream silk, was worn with a yellow straw hat adorned with yellow plumes. This costume was effective, and a change from all-white quite pleasing. The parasol, of course, was white. Nine out of every ten parasols seen are white. A white wool trimmed with bands of light, gray is modish, introducing the pale gray note and the strap trimming liked on tailored dresses. Not a little brilliant green is used in ribbons for midsummer millinery, and hat crowns are now of a remarkable height. This does not mean that the low-crowned hat of early spring is relegated to things that were, but that new midsummer chapeaus have much The Fashions of the Day The Fashions of the Day with midsummer weather there springs up on all sides a wonderful variety of frivolous little coats. But not a few possess a beauty that gives them an excuse for being. Just the other day we noticed one that seemed to make the costume. It formed part of an all-white toilet, the material of the small wrap a beautiful, rather heavy linen lace. It was a half loose little coat, and of course the sleeves were chopped off at the elbow. The distinctive features were the quality of the lace and the touches here and there of black velvet ribbon bands with white pearl buckles. A black vel- A YELLOW HAT AND CREAM WHITE DRESS. vet band edged the short sleeve, the little jacket was closed in front by buckle-adorned black velvet ribbon ends. The dusky soft ribbon was very pretty against the beautiful lace. A number of refreshing simple hats are worn with the simple morning tub frocks, trimming reduced to the lowest terms. One charming black chip sailor has twined about its crown a wreath of crimson ramblers, a blue sailor a garland of baby white roses, an all white hat a careless spray of daisies and nothing else. And the little frocks themselves are so fresh and neat, as a rule one-piece dresses. White mohairs and Panamas increase in number, perhaps the best models those trimmed only with tucking. Tucking is used for lingerie waistts again; some of the newest models are made of all-over tucking. The materials are of the softest and finest, and, a comfort to the laundress, such iron very easily; even tucking need have no terrors for the wash lady. With these waists lace and embroidery are used sparingly, and must be the finest of the fine. A frock of pink handkerchief linen costs money, but is so exquisite one higher crowns, this perhaps most noticeable on outing hats. The little coffee coats are of an elaboration, but skirts are plainest of the plain. A well cut and fitted plain skirt always has more style than a detrimmed one, the lines following those of the figure and making a more pleasing effect. The popular coffee coat answers many purposes, adds a dressy touch to a costume, hides deficiencies, and is just the thing to throw on at home when an unexpected visitor arrives. No wonder it has taken such hold in the world of fashion. A very pretty dance frock for a young girl is made of pink organdy, and is an exception to the plain-skirt dictum just laid down. But dance frocks may be exceptions—so long as they are pretty and becoming. The skirt is just a succession of flounces, the lowest about ten inches wide, a flounce decreasing in width one inch as it ascends, save that those about the hips are of a like size and the skirt is constructed or many lace-edged ruffles, and also the sleeves. There is a round baby ycke, with low Dutch neck, of lace insertion. The girdle is of pink liberty silk with long streamers at the middle of the front. The tulle boas, both colored and those of white or black, are worn with pleasing effect by tall women; but the short woman should not take to ruffs. For her the low neck, which fortunately happens to be the fashion at present, and the rolling collar. A V-shaped cut is becoming to the stout lady, and gives more slenderness than the Dutch neck. But tulle boas, or no tulle boas, women to-day, slender and pump, are very prettily costumed. forgets the outlay. With the pink handkerchief linen a very fine Swiss embroidery goes beautifully, and employ the embroidery sparingly, not to detract from daintiness. There is no lovelier summer combination than the combination of pink and white, and to-day the pinks all being in such esteem, it has fashion as well as prettiness to commend it. Very delicate dresses are worn on the street, the public thoroughfares thereby given a holiday aspect. Once it would have appeared strange to see a matron strolling along the street in a dress of pale blue silk, but not today. A young matron looks very pretty and youthful in a gown of light blue taffeta, its fashion so simple as to cause no comment when made use of as a church dress. There is a separate upper part and ruffled sleeve of cream cotton lace, so soft and pretty one forgets to criticise quality. The girdle, as girdles should be, is of the material of the main part of the dress—nothing more awkward, it seems to us, than a girdle drawing attention to the point where waist and skirt meet. To return to the costume whose detaillies have suggested, the hat accompanying this toilet is a yellow lace straw, the long gloves the same shade. For the aesthetic value, every big automobile should have a group of summer ladies on the back seat, their voluminous draperies and floating veils taking from the machine aspect of the ugly vehicles. Yesterday an auto flashed by with three ladies in the rear seat, and we noted all three wore white chiffon veils, and that the effect was better than when colors are flaunted. If of good quality the chiffon veil may be washed in soap and water, is a cleanly veil and dainty. The wearing of two veils is still indulged in, though many women eschew even one in the heat of the summer. June Migration of Butterflies. The butterflies on toward the end of June cross the Isthmus of Panama. For a week or more, in untold millions, they put out to sea. They make a cloud, a dazzling cloud of gleaming blues and greens, between the clear sky and the clear water. Birds follow them, eating them by hundreds. Sometimes the wind drives them eastward. Then they may be caught, like dead leaves, in great handfails. Every June this migration takes place. Where the butterflies come from and where they go no man knows. No Joke.

It Is Superstitious to Dread "Night Air"—Sleeping Rooms Must Be Thoroughly Ventilated. Bedrooms having no outside ventilation are not fit for human habitations, but in closely packed cities, they are often found. No one who passes the hour of darkness in such foul, pestilential holes can hope for health. A constant supply of fresh, clean air is a necessity for the sleeping room, and a stationary washstand in a bedroom is often a source of danger because, with the best of care, sewer gas at times leaks through the pipes and loads the atmosphere. If one sleep with open doors and windows, this can in a measure be escaped, but with every avenue of ventilation closed, the health must suffer seriously. In country homes not having pipes, the supply of fresh air is just as necessary. The "night air" so dreaded by some, is never as heavily laden with poison as that which is breathed over and over and over in close confines. Even the bed-clothing becomes saturated and tainted, and carpets, curtains, and all draperies catch and hold the poison, just as they do the smells from the kitchen or from cigar smoking, and need frequent sunnings and washings in order to purify them from the "smell." The idea of having exclusively woolen bed-clothing is that exhalations of the body may escape in the same way that the gas does, and woolen clothing being porous, permits the escape of these exudations, while cotton, or linen absorbs, with the result that an unpleasant odor is often very noticeable about the bedroom in the morning. If the room and contents are not ventilated at least during the day, this smell becomes permanent, clinging even to the clothing worn by the person occupying the room. One who is accustomed to sleeping in a well ventilated room finds it very difficult to occupy a room that is at all "close."—The Commoner. The use of window boxes is not to be recommended extensively except in crowded down-town districts, apartment houses and hotels, where they are effective in relieving the monotony of otherwise bare windows and verandas. Where it is possible, however, to grow the hardy types of climbers in the ground, they will be found far superior to boxes planted in the window or on the veranda. A window box is usually eight inches to a foot in depth, and the same in width, the length varying. It should never be less than six inches deep. It should be made of seven-eighths-inch lumber, and should conform in shape to the window or veranda to which it is attached. It should be either hung to the veranda ralling or rest on brackets. It is often placed on the window sill if the latter is wide enough. It is important to see that the box has good drainage. Holes of good size should be drilled in the bottom, about 18 inches apart, and these covered with some loose material before putting in the soil. Use rather light soil, and preferably that which has been made open with plenty of cow manure. Heavy clay soil has a tendency to become hard and unfit for plants if allowed to become at all dry. Two excellent fertilizers for window boxes are bone meal and bone shavings, especially the latter, which should be placed in the bottom of the box and thoroughly mixed with the soil. It will fit the plants later in the season, when they most need it.—Brooklyn Eagle. Banana Fritters. Two eggs, half a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, one and a half teaspoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder, and three bananas. Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks, butter and sugar together until light. Pour in the milk. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff; add them and the flour alternately, a portion at a time. When all is used stir in the baking powder, and lastly the bananas, cut into half-inch blocks. Drop by tablespoonfuls into deep fat hot enough to smoke slightly. Cook three or four minutes until a delicate brown, turning once. Drzln on paper and serve hot. Celery Sandwiches. Make a dressing as follows: Two eggs beaten separately, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of mustard, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar, two-thirds of a teacupful of vinegar; cook in a double boiler. When cold, stir in a cupful of finely-chopped celery and one-half cupful of whipped cream. Cut bread which is 24 hours old into thin slices, butter, and spread with the dressing. Rice with Dates. Cook a cup of rice in a double boiler with a pint of milk and a pint of water until soft. Sweeten to taste and flavor with vanilla. Use enough dates to make a cupful and stew until tender with a quarter cup of sugar and one cup of water. Set aside until cold; then turn the rice in the center of a dish and pour the dates around it. This makes a pleasing dessert served with cream, or milk or sugar.
