National Negro Business League Shows Remarkable Progress at its Seventh Annual Session Held at Atlanta, Georgia. VOL. XII. Great G National Negro Business Le gress at its Seventh A Atlanta, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—Our leaders should see to it that the criminal Negro is gotten rid of. Making all allowances for mistakes, in justice and the influence of racial prejudice, I have no hesitation in saying that one of the elements of the present situation that gives me most concern is the large number of crimes committed by members of our race. The Negro is committing too much crime, North and South. We should see to it that crimes are fewer in number; otherwise the race will permanently suffer. The crime of lynching everywhere and at all times should be condemned. Our Southland today has no greater enemy to its business progress than lynchers and those who provoke lynching. Every man, white or black, who takes the law into his own hands, to lynch or burn or shoot human beings supposed to be guilty of crime, is insulting the executive, judicial and law-abiding bodies of the state in which he resides. Lawlessness in one direction will inevitably lead to lawlessness in other directions. It is the idler, the loafers, the drunkards, the gamblers—men without permanent employment, who owns no homes, pay no taxes, who have no bank account, who float from one community to another, without interest in any one spot, that commit the crimes that disgrace the race—not the thrifty, industrious, intelligent, tax-paying classes represented in this organization." This was the dominant note struck at a most significant moment by the seventh annual convention of the National Negro Business League which assembled in this city Aug. 29 to 31. It was the key-note emphasized in the annual address of President Booker T. Washington with all the force of his eloquent voice and backed by the full vigor of his inspiring personality. Such an address at this time, when the public mind is keyed up to its highest tension by an aggravating chain of circumstances, reflecting upon the good name of the race, comes as a tonic to the distressing situation, and the presence of more than 2,000 prosperous looking, orderly and refined delegates and visitors, including bankers, merchants, manufactures, con- --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo ATRONI COLOR IO ADVERTISE Gathring'. ague Shows Remarkable Pro- annual Session Held at Georgia. tractors, professional men, drug-gist, planters, real estate dealers, undertakers and every class of Negroes that have to do with the educational, moral economic and religious uplift of the race and nation, has gone far to ameliorate the strained relations that have threatened ill consequences to both the white and black people of this community. It has been remarked as a strange coincidence that upon practically the same spot where eleven years ago he delivered the inspiring message which caused all the world to pause and listen, that Dr. Washington should sound the keynote that ushers in the second distinct era of the race's foremost commercial and business factors that has drawn crowds nightly this week at Big Bethel church has been an inspiration to the race everywhere and an eye-openor to those who have been inclined to doubt the capacity to be more than a cipher in the world of finance and trade. Events have amply demonstrated the wisdom of bringing this session of the National Negro Business League to Atlanta. There may have been other meetings of the organization more resplendent in certain special features, but the one that has just passed into history, stands pre-eminent in at least two particulars: It served not only to show the white man of the South the great progress the Negro is making along business lines throughout the length and breath of the land, and the part he is destined to play in the future development of the nation, but it had a local significance so decisive in its effect for good that the result bids fair to be more far-reaching than anything that has occurred in this vicinity in recent years. Conventions of the League there may have been where the attendance of notable and distinguished persons has been larger, but this year the enrollment of delegates and the number of interested visitors outstrip by many hundreds that of any previous session of the body, and the composition of the audiences has been of the elements that most needed the practical lessons and stimulating influence of the black man's only substitute for the white man's Board ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. of Trade, Chamber of Commerce or Stock Exchang. For at least a month preceding the session of the League, there has been in this city and its surburbs a series of criminal assaults upon women. Some of these crimes were peculiarly atrocious, and whether committed by black men or white men disguised as such warranted the severest penalty known to law. One of the daily papers was openly urging the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and men usually level headed and conservative, were giving vent to utterances of an incendiary character, hitherto never dreamed of as emanating from their lips. Such was the state of mind among our populace when the league was called to order Wednesday morning. On the surface all was serenity, but underneath was a slumbering volcano, needing only an ill advised pronouncement or an injudicious act to ignite a fuse that would have wrought direful consequences to all concerned. When the convention adjourned Friday, the relationship existing between the races was gratifying cordial and harmonious, and those who had prophesied the visitation of a maelstrom of inter-racial strife were grievously conceded that the sensible, well-poised and straight forward address of Dr. Washington was potent in bringing about this crowded to suffocation with a vast concourse of citizens, eager to catch a glimpse of the noted educator and to hear what had been forecasted as an official opinion of the race on the vital problems of the hour. As on all stellar occasions, the "Wizard" made "the speech of his life." Its intense earnestness and uncompromising directness carried conviction with it, and the tremendous applause which greeted almost every sentence, testified that he had struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of his brethren. No man anywhere under the sun could have been more unsparing in the denunciation of lynching and of the crime that provokes it. The mob was pictured as being southern society's deadliest enemy, and he also declared, as recorded above that no quarter should be shown the criminal who made it possible for the mob to exist. By a fortuitous circumstance, Dr. Washington met the editor whose tirades against Negroes have been laying a foundation for perpetual discord, and by a masterly plea for justice and an aggressive attitude of hostility to the vicious members of the race, succeeded in convincing him of the folly and danger of compelling a whole race to suffer humiliation and ignominy because of the crimes of a few. Going Rapidly. It is predicted that American hardwood forests will last only 35 years longer. OUR WORST ENEMIES. It is apparent to our mind that the worst enemies of our race at the present time are mean white and bad Negroes. The one class charges us with all of the crimes in the decalogue and the other class is steadily in the business of proving these charges to be true, while the great mass of our people are striving to improve their condition educationally, religiously, morally, industrially, and financially. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that we be more polite and more obliging to the better class of white people. Strive to win their friendship and merit their approval. They will then do much to defend us against the unjust inputations of their own people. This agravating misrepresentations of us will increase just as we advance along all lines and amass wealth and acquire property. If we get the substance, we can afford to pay no attention to the shadow. Early settlers in this country had to risk the hardships of Indian warfare and we should be content to brave the dangers of race prejudice. The United States is the garden spot of the world for financial progress at this time. Foreigners are reaping a harvest and the Afro American will be blind indeed should he fail to make the most of his opportunities. A rolling stone gathers no moss and a wondering mind no strength. Let us outwit the Negro hating white man and secure the support of the justice loving white folks at all hazards. —Planet. THE DIFFERENCE Social Equality and Civil Rights. There are very few Afro-Americans who understand the difference between civil rights and social privileges. They think the two are one and indivisible, when they are as separate as they possibly can be. Civil rights are covered by the common and the statute law and are common to all of the people mainly because they are public rights based upon a contract. When a man buys a thing which any other person can buy it is a common right. All places of amusement and accommodation are of this character and so are all public service corporations, such as raidroads, steamboats, hotels, and the like. Efforts to give such a social character is an American subterfuge, intended solely to victimize Afro-American poeple. That is the long and short of it. Social privileges are such as are not public in any sense, but depend upon the individual as to whether he will extend them or not. A social privilege has no public right at all. Bishop C. H. Phillips and his wife were made to get out of a Pullman sleeping car in Texas last week. The good bishop was very indignant and said that while he did not believe in social equality he thought that he had been treated very unfairly. What does Bishop Phillips know about social equality? And what had his right to ride in a Pullman car to do with social equality? It is a civil right to do that for which he had to pay a stipulated price to a corporation with a charter under the laws of Texas. Why does Bishop Phillips want to mix up matters about which he appears to be graciously ignorant? And there are others. He paid for his sleeper; was an inter-state passenger, and he was subject at all under the circumstances to the laws of Texas for the laws of United States are above State laws in cases of that kind. The black man who says that he does not want social equality with the people of equal standing with himself as a man and a citizen whether they be black or white, simply does not know what he wants; and the black man who does not know the difference between social privileges and civil rights should keep his mouth shut tight about the matter when he gets at a point where he does not know whether he is going or coming.—N. Y. Age. FARMERS MEET IN AFRICA Liberia, July 10.—Today the first Farmers' Alliance Convention ever called in the history of Liberia, met at Clay-Ashland, in the town hall, under the most promising circumstances. One hundred and ten delegates were present from the several farming districts of Montserrado County, and a more representative body of men have not assembled since the day of our independence was declared, July 26, 1847. President Barclay and United States Consular Ernest Lyons addressed the delegates and pointed out not only the necessity but the great and noble results which capital, labor and to the people generally may reap from the farming industry Dr Lyons said in part: The farm has always occupied an important place in the history of human society. In fact, the farm is indespensible, not only to the existence of the State, but to the individual himself, who is in every sense the miniature State. What would Liberia be today, and for that matter—what would any country or government be, great or small without the farm and the farmer? Eliminate from the economy of the State the farm and the farmer and what will you have left to Liberia? The lines of Holmes are not only appropriate but highly suggestive in his description of NO. 51. the ploughman, a being of all beings, who in the pride of society is very apt to be regarded by some not merely as of little or of no consequence but of an inferior caste. Many of the ablest minds that have ruled and controlled the destinies of men and of nations; that have changed the course of human events—and have made themselves distinguished and great by the performance of deeds which have rendered their names imperishable in the memory of their fellow men—have been the immediate products of the farm. Such were Cincinatus of Rome, Lincoln of America, Loubet of France and Coleman of Liberia. The farm occupies the most pathetic place in the memory of the human family. PRAISE FOR GANS. Joseph B. Gans, champion undisputed by reason of his latest victory, is the last light weight of a noble line. He is a worthy holder of the title, so far as skill, speed and all the physical essentials of the role are concerned. Gans can never enjoy the personal popularity of previous title holders, but, racial and individual prejudice aside, the Negro compares wonderfully well with any of the men whom the public recognized as kingpin light weights in the past. Jack McAuliffe, George Lavigne and Frank Erne were the men who starred during the years preceding Gans, accession to the throne. Take anyone of these great fighters, take him at his best, and how would he have fared in front of Gans? Study them all, from every angle, and then see if the Negro would not have been too much for them. And yet—what a royal fight they would have given him. Jack McAuliffe, the most popular of all the light weights, a prince of good fellows, was also a marvel of science, ting generalship and all-around ability. He might, when at his very best, have beaten Gans, for there is no trick of Gans' repertoire that McAuliffe did not know, while he was game and strong, fully as hard a hitter as the Negro, and possessed of wonderful endurance. McAuliffe and Gans, both at their best, would make an incomparable lightweight battle—but Jack left the roped arena long, long ago. Lavigne was a fighter of a totally different type from either McAuliffe or Gans. He was different in physique and stature and different in fighting style. Lavigne had little of the science or beauty of tactics shown by Gans or McAuliffe. In aggressiveness and rugged strength he was much like Battling Nelson, but his fighting was showier and more sensational, invariably provoking thunders of applause. Next to McAuliffe Lavigne was the best liked of all the lightweights. He was also one of the smallest, being no bigger than many men who style themselves featherweights to-day. He was about the size of Charley Neary and could be 133 at the ringside with greatest ease. Frank Erne, who succeeded to the lightweight glories after Lavigne slowed up, was tall and rangy for a lightweight, and a master of science, though not a knockout slugger. He once defeated Gans and was in turn defeated by the colored man. Erne was not as strong as Lavigne and not as showy as McAuliffe, but was a brilliant fighter just the same. His career as a topnotcher was marked by some excellent battles, and he gained well deserved credit, though never acquiring the popularity of McAuliffe and Lavigne. Gans, heir to the laurels of these great little fighters, seems good enough right now to have bested any of the three when they were in their prime, but comparisons do not make good. Possibly one of them could have slated the face of Gans. It's a matter of sentiment and opinion. One thing sure, the black lightweight champion looks good enough to hold his job several years.—Denver Republic can. I.N. Rogers & Son. I.N. Rogers & Son. UNDERTAKERS & EMBALMERS 1531 Champa St. L.

I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." -Mayme E. Smith. MISS MANNER 444 E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous emanations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Hay Fever, would do well to give Peruna a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people. WHEN THE BED GOES 'ROUND But Smith Was Too Wise to Wait on the Procession. "That was an amusing story about the congressman who caught his bed the fourth time it came around. It reminded me," continued the narrator "of the first time I heard the bed phrase. It happened in Harrisburg, where I was then stationed, and it happened to a legislator whom I shall call Smith. "At the first session Smith became famous for his ability to comfortably carry more liquor than any other man in the legislature. At the opening of the second session some Philadelphiaans got together and put up a job on Smith. They arranged relays, so that when one party had enough another should take hold, and thus keep going until they had Smith down and out. Well, they began with Smith one evening, and after two relays had succumbed their successors noted with much satisfaction that Smith was mixing his beverages—they didn't know that was his custom, and he fooled them all. The bout continued all night and all of the next day, and when the second evening came Smith was the only man able to get away unaided. "Several days later I asked Smith how he got along after he reached his hotel. "When I got into my room," he replied, "I saw a procession of beds coming in my direction. I grabbed the first one, fell into it, and woke up the next afternoon."—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. As a Supplanter. The Maid—Do you think the automobile will ever supplant the horse.

A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was distressing, with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. COLORADO'S FAIR STATE FAIR AT PUEBLO AUSPI CIOSLY OPENED. ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE Large Tents Necessary to House Fine Blooded Stock—Interesting Competition in Dry Farming Products. Pueblo.—Never did a state fair in the West open under such auspicious circumstances as that which began here Tuesday morning. So far in excess of all expectations was the number and volume of exhibits that even up to late at night some were not completely arranged. This is in spite of the fact that every available man and woman has been secured by the management in the work of assigning and arranging the products of this and adjoining states which have reached the grounds. The weather is ideal and the local forecaster promises a continuance of this most favorable condition In spite of the hurry and rush in getting things settled the race program of Tuesday was pulled off on schedule time, and the other special features in the line of amusement went off as though the fair had already reached the height of its glory. Every train reaching the city on all of the five railroads brings large delegations from every quarter. Regardless of the fact that the stable and stall capacity for the housing of live stock has been doubled over that of last year, a number of large tents of circus proportions have been found necessary to accommodate the blooded and race horses and pedigreed cattle. The judging of live stock began Tuesday but so great is the task that but few awards have yet been made. Professor Carlyle of the State Agricultural College is at the head of the board of judges on cattle. Among the features in this line is the herd of thirty-seven Jersey belonging to C. E. Parfet of Colorado Springs, and among them is the little Jersey cow which cost $2,700 and took the gold medal at the St. Louis World's Fair. The judging on the agricultural and other products is but fairly started, although the judges worked industriously. An extremely interesting feature in that line is the dry farming products wherein the competition is strong between Phillips, Lincoln and Kiowa counties, each of which has on exhibition a splendid collection of grain, grasses and sugar beets raised entirely without irrigation. Indications are that it is neck and neck between these counties for the first prize. The races drew large crowds and were followed by wild bull riding by Grimsley, and various cowboy feats. SOCIALISTS ARRESTED. Twenty-One Persons Jailed for Holding Street Meeting. Denver.—Tuesday night seven Socialist orators, under the leadership of Franklin N. Jordan, local manager of William D. Haywood's campaign for governor, assembled at Sixteenth and Arapahoe streets and quickly drew a crowd. Soon the police, under the leadership of Sergeant Sturgis, began making arrests. The speakers refused to desist and quoted the constitution upon the rights of the people to assemble and the right of free speech. As fast as a wagonload of prisoners could be gathered other speakers assumed leadership and the police were kept busy until nearly 11 o'clock. Twenty men and one woman were arrested. At the city prison they were denied bail by Chief Delaney and all were incarcerated in the "bull pen." Some of the prisoners are more or less prominent. All are workingmen, and several are well to do. Each prisoner was searched, and the amount taken for safe keeping aggregated several hundred dollars. Chief Delaney offered to release them upon assurance that no further attempt would be made to hold meetings in the street. The offer was rejected Dry Farming Congress. Denver.—Governor McDonald sent out a notice Tuesday to prominent residents of Colorado inviting them to call at his office in the state capitol next Monday morning at 10 o'clock to discuss the advisability of calling a "dry farming congress." The governor some months ago expressed it as his wish that there should be such a congress, but before naming delegates he wants to secure expressions of opinion from men who are interested in the subject. Invitations to the conference were issued to the following men: J. L. Donohue, W. F. R. Mills, A. J. Spengel, Arthur Williams, F. J. Chamberlin, C. E. Wantland, John T. Burns, Zeph Charles Felt, and others. Valparaiso Again Shaken. Valparaiso.—Another violent earthquake shock at a quarter past 8 o'clock Monday night caused a terrible panic. The people, fearing another catastrophe, spent the whole night in parks and open spaces. The quakes continued at short intervals, but were less violent. Newspapers unanimously express the warmest thanks to the Peruvian governor and its people for contributions for its sufferers in the stricken city. They say Peru's generous sympathy has done a great deal more to insure cordial relations between the countries than all the resources of the smartest diplomacy. Warship Goes to Cuba. Washington.—It was officially admitted to-day that the American cruiser Des Moines, which sailed yesterday hastily from Norfolk, had gone southward to Key West with the ultimate purpose of going to Havana if developments within the next two days seem to warrant such action. At Key West the Des Moines will be about eight hours' run from Havana and while waiting Commander Halsey will be in close communication with the Navy Department, prepared to carry out immediately any request from the Department of State. No partiality will be shown to one side or the other. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE." The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the funniest stories; the man who keeps the best store, or the man who makes the best goods, soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best advertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is "EGG-O-SEE, for it contains all the life-giving properties of nature's best food, which is Wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike are friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent package contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O-SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking, is required, makes EGG-O-SEE very popular. Open the package; put in as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesome. It makes you strong. A lot of interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled, "—back to nature."

Swords Into a Plow During the centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876 the members of the Universal Peace union assembled to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the foundation of the order. A number of officers and descendants of officers gave their swords to be made into a plow as a symbol of peace. The weapons were afterward fashioned into a homely agricultural implement, which, however, instead of being a plow, took the shape of the ordinary field cultivator. This cultivator may now be seen in the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over it is an inscription giving the history of the implement.

Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints.

But alum baking powder biscuits are never mentioned in this respect. Why? Because it's the cream of tartar that is objectionable and injurious, and yet there are some people who to-day continue to use the old cream of tartar baking powder, and wonder why they are always ailing. When Woman Isn't Young. The report is that a local religious institution which is for "young women" has drawn the deadline of youth at 35. Every woman over that age will be marked 23 and requested to skiddoo. This is painful. It is unkind. What is worse, it is impracticable. We are glad the task is to be performed by women. No man nor set of men would ever have dared tackle such a problem—not they. This is simply another example of woman's inhumanity to woman. We have been told for many ages that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is as old as he feels. Just now, we say it with regret, most women look like 60 and most men feel like Methuselah. But the general rule seems a good one. It is a plain, unpalatable fact that women will deceive as to their age as long as possible and then openly lie about it. There are many women who were born during the ravages of the civil war who still claim sweetly to be in the thirties. STOMACH PAINS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Brought Relief, and Cure for Splitting Headaches as Well. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy which has been before the American people for a generation, is still accomplishing wonderful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs. Rachael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans. "It was very strange," she says, "I never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else. For a long time I had bad spells with my stomach. The pain would commence about my heart and was so deadly agonizing that I would have to scream aloud. Sometimes it would last several hours and I would have to take laudanum to stop it. Besides this I had a headache almost constantly, day and night, that nearly crazed me, so you see I suffered a great deal. And when I think of the agony I endured it still makes me shudder. "Doctors,' did you say? Their medicine made me sicker. I couldn't take it and I kept growing worse until a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I did. I began to feel better and was soon wholly converted to this wonderful medicine. It did me more good than I had ever hoped for. I kept on with the pills and now I recommend them to all who suffer." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured severe cases of indigestion, bloodlessness, influenza, headaches, backaches, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness and spinal weakness. The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drugs and cannot injure the most delicate system.

SECOND DAY AT PUEBLO. Fair Is in Every Way a Pronounced Success. Pueblo, Colo.—With ideal weather and the exhibits on complete display, the second day of Colorado's greatest object lesson on Western resource and energy draw a record-breaking attendance, fully 12,000 people passing through the gates, which is the largest attendance ever recorded for the second day of the state fair. Among the distinguished visitors Wednesday were Gov. Jesse F. McDonald and staff. The governor was met at the depot by a committee headed by Dr. Work of the Work sanitarium, and escorted to the fair grounds. He spent several hours inspecting the exhibits and was then guest of honor at an entertainment. Governor McDonald pronounced the display of Colorado products the most complete and comprehensive ever presented in the state, and expressed hearty commendation of the management of the fair. President Wilson and Secretary Reno, with a corps of able assistants, have left nothing undone to accommodate the vast throngs and to conserve the interests of the hundreds of exhibitors. The latter joined with the governor in saying that the arrangements are the most complete and satisfactory in the history of the fair association. The agricultural and horticultural displays are twice as large as those of last year and embrace every product of Colorado soil. Giving their personal attention to these exhibits are Mrs. Martha Shute, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, and several members of the faculty of the Colorado Agricultural College at Fort Collins. They are all lavish in their praise of the enterprise shown by the exhibitors and the excellence of the product displayed. The principal dry farm exhibits come from the so-called arid wastes of Morgan, Phillips, Yuma, El Paso and Kiowa counties, territory from which forty-bushel wheat was harvested this year, samples of which are displaying their golden wealth at the state fair, is above ditches and impossible of irrigation. Wednesday being Arkansas Valley day at the fair, the exhibits from that portion of the state naturally took precedence with the visitors, who came pouring in on special trains. San Luis valley also sent a large delegation headed by the Monte Vista band. The western slope is well represented in the fair, the products of thriving orchards, vast beet fields and broad acres of grain occupying a generous portion of the space. CANDIDATES NAMED. Republican District Conventions at Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Four Republican district conventions were held in this city Wednesday. At the convention of the fourth judicial district W. S. Morris and District Judge Sheafer were nominated from El Paso county for the office of district judge, while from Teller county Senator J. H. Owen was nominated. Ira Harris, formerly mayor of Colorado Springs and also former district judge, was defeated by Sheafer, 96 to 23. The Fourth district comprises the counties of Cheyenne, Douglas, El Paso, Teller, Lincoln and Elbert. At the respective conventions of the Third senatorial and Twenty-eighth senatorial district, George Frye of Cripple Creek and John B. Stephen of Colorado City were nominated for state senator. The Third district comprises El Paso, Teller and Douglas counties. At the legislative district convention six nominees for state representative were selected, as follows: R. J. Verner, O. E. Collins and C. W. Dolph, all of El Paso, and W.O. Dray, J. J. Winters and E. M. Turner of Teller county. The district comprises El Paso and Teller counties. British Steel Combine. Glasgow.—It is announced that a combination of Scotch and English steel tube manufacturers to regulate the home and export business has been formed with a view of abolishing the present keen competition. The industry has suffered incalculably since previous agreement between the firms in this line was cancelled eighteen months ago. It is understood that the new combine is wider in its scope than the old, taking in all the firms in the United Kingdom except one Clydeside concern. It is stated that the American producers are supporting the combine. It is expected that an advance in prices will soon be announced as it is believed that the agreement carries permanency with it. Cruiser Denver at Havana Havana.—The insurgents in Pinar Del Rio and Santa Clara provinces Wednesday signalized the resumption of war by blowing up railroad bridges, again blocking traffic, and committing other acts of destruction. The event of the day in Havana was the arrival late this afternoon of the United States protected cruiser Denver. Commander Colwell said that while the Denver carried no marines at present, she had 150 well-drilled and armed sailors and several field guns which could be put ashore on fifteen minutes' notice. The situation in Santa Clara province is considered as dangerous. President Watching Cuba. Washington.—President Roosevelt is keenly alive to the progress of the revolutionary movement in Cuba and the responsibility of the United States in case the conditions grow worse and intervention becomes necessary. It is known that the President will not intervene unless it appears absolutely necessary, yet steps have been taken which would make such intervention effective. How She Traveled Half Fare. "A new way of riding on a railroad at half-fare came to my attention at Cheyenne. Wyo., a few days ago," said C. L. Willis, a Latin professor whose home is at Yankton, S. D. "I was taking a long trip from the Pacific coast and naturally became fatigued with nothing to do. I noticed a little girl in the same car for hundreds of miles, and as she appeared to be entirely alone I decided to divert myself by conversation with her. "Her dresses reached to her knees, her hair was braided down her back, her cheeks were fresh and rosy, and she talked along demurely and easily about all sorts of things. I bought her candy and talked to her just as one would talk to any little girl of 12 years. I gave her large doses of advice about what a girl of 12 should do, and how long she should wait before permitting herself to become infatuated with any man. At last I asked her how old she was. "I am 22." she said. "I am going to visit my grandmother in Montreal, Canada, and, as it is a long and costly trip, I decided to go as a child and pay half fare."—Milwaukee Sentinel. Why He Was Late. John Coward, a Pontefract (Eng.) farmer, had the best of excuses for not appearing in time to prosecute at the police court one day this week. He said he had been fetched home because a sow had got loose, and had a stern chase of three miles before he could round up the obstinate beast Unselfishness of Good Manners. Good manners mean good heart, for it stands to reason that one can't be doing things for others, the little things that go to make life easy, rub off the rough places and make life more comfortable for others, unless others be thought of before one's self. —Chicago American.

That Denyer is a conyention city has already been clearly demon- strated by the various bodies that have held their meetings in this Queen municipality. But the week just drawing to a close might be truthfully called convention week. Almost continuously from Monday morning till Saturday evening a convention of some one of the poli- tical parties has been in session, both night and day. Oratory, pyro- technics, caucuses and machina- tions of every sort known to poli- ties, have been enacted. The Colo- rado Statesman is not prepared at this time to draw any conclusions or pass upon the nature and char- acter of the work that has been done or to speak upon the ability and integrity of the men nomin- ated. We have only this to say, that when the conventions have con- cluded their task and the returns are all in then we shall go carefully through the issues and the candi- dates selected, and give our read- ers the benefit of our personal knowledge and the standing of each person to be yoted for office. The Colorado Statesman hopes that the best and fairest men in each party has been chosen, because the voters of Colorado and Denver are sensible men and women and will pass upon the merits of those to be elected without any interference of party favors. The Negro will be especially careful in this matter as he has more than others at stake, and if he does not protect his per- sonal and racial interest others will not protect it for him. When the caueuses and conventions have fin- ished their work then it is up te the individual voters to pass judg. ment and this is what the Coloradc Statesman will do in the interest of its many readers, THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The meeting of this body of ag- gressive and progressive men and women held its seventh annual session in Atlanta, Ga., the Gate City of the South. In point of numbers, enthusiasm and zeal it easily eclipsed any session of the League since its organization in Boston seven years ago, over 600 delegates being enrolled. The progress reported in com- mercial affairs from every section of the country was inspiring in- deed, several representatives from South America being in attend- anee. Mr, Washington, the presi- dent, was at his best and every note sounded by him rang true to progress. The object of the meeting was not to count wealth or measure fi- nance amid such overwhelming odds as found in the white race, but simply to put forth an hum- ble and determined effort to col- lect our seattered forces in busi- ness and put confidence in its possibilities, unity in its resources and turn the attention of the race to money getting, money saving and investment in enterprises that offer good returns and to empha- size that, these things are a neces- sity in this commercial age. There was no diseordant notes in the audience, scholars, teachers, bishops, professors, lawyers, doe- tors, druggists, wholesale and _re- tail, business men and women in every line, farmers, artisans, me- chanics, workers in social reform, editors and those in every way en- gaged in buildng up the race. There wa sno discordant notes against any other organization or class of men engaged in other lines of endeavor. It was found that the race is now engaged in almost every money producing enterprise in the nation. The one dominant note was ‘‘work, struggle, invest.”” Without labor and economy and its fruit — money —we cannot rise above being hewers of wood and drawers of water. ‘What we Lave lost in polities, like the Jews, let us gain in wealth,”’ and it was in- deed encouraging to see how this advice was accepted. The social features of the League, the banquet at which over 400 were seated and the side-trip to Tuskeegee and barbeene din- ner on the shady campus, lent ad- ditional pleasure to the meeting. The eighth session of the League will be held in Topeka, Kansas, and the people of Colorado should begin soon to plan to attend in large numbers. It will pay you twenty fold to see and hear what the race is doing throughout the world along business lines. WESTERN NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION, We call attention to the annual meeting of Negro journalists of the West, who will hold their meeting at Colorado Springs next Thurs- day and Friday, September 20 and 21, This gathering ought to have the attention of business men, the eye of social workers, the ear of the public, as well as the presence of editors of the colored press. We out to begin to learn that the newspaper is a mighty power in the community, that it is a helper to every enterprise and organiza- tion among us; the newspaper creates sentiment for weal or woe, and that the progressive people ought to make the press its friend and not its foe. We are engaged in the laudable and responsible business of making a race and cannot afford to neglect or treat indifferently any agency connected with this great undertak- ing. All races need, and especially the Negro, associations of black- smiths, carpenters, ddetors, law- yers, preachers, business men and editors, and every enterprise that can help a struggling people to rise. And right here the Colorado States- man always in line for progress would suggest, why not organize a Colored Medical Association in Colorado; there are enough doe- tors in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo to make a respectable body of colored professional men and hold clinies and send out word to the colored sick the benefits of Colorado climate. (This is a word of suggestion.) Anyone who opposes the forma. tion of organizations, such as we have named, is to be pitied, but not given an. ounce of consideration. The press association will have matters of importance to consider that will be of interest to the entire race. A higher proficiency and de- gree of accuracy in reporting im- portant and minor eyents of public interest, moulding sentiment on moral, educational and _ religious affairs, and the approaching of a presidential election, are subjects in which all will be benefitted. The Negro press sanctions the splendid courage being made by the race to enter business channels and to se- cure fair and equitable recognition in polities and to encourage expres- sions from the laity on lines of progress. These are subjects that call for no light-headed, skim milk and surface thinking or academic philosophy, but sound, sane and sober thought. The Negro is not an intruder but a native, and he must t ae 5 it has been thought that their structure and position could be so briefly described that any circumlocution in their de- scription was unnecessary. But however simple their structure, and how- ever apparent their functions, they constitute a vast filter bed for convey- ing nutritive material and oxygen to the tissues and for removing waste products therefrom. A careful study of how these changes take place, and how the functions of these little tubes are carried on, has always seemed to me a matter of as much importance as even the action of the heart itself, ‘The capillary bed is a vast territory which pervades every tissue and organ of the body, and so numerous are these little vessels that it would be difficult to stick the point of a needle in any vascular area without wound- ing one or more, but in neurotic individuals you may wound many such veaiels without drawing blood. In every plethoric individual and in cases of polyeythaemia the capillaries of the body are fairly replete, but in or- dinary mortals, especially in those of neurotic temperament, perhaps not a third of the capillaries are full at any one moment; the capillary pressure in the foot even when immobilized is often less than that in the hand and much less than that in a grog-blossomed nose. This is entirely due to the wosderful mechanism of the vasomotor system. Some people are yery liable to cold feet in bed, and such appendages to a lady seem to have led up to a divorce in the United States of America. In such cases the part may be fairly comfortable before going to bed, but once the horizontal posture is assumed the arterial pressure and capillary velocity fall, there is not a sufficient amount of fuel carried to the ex- tremities to keep the large cooling surface warm. Here the defect is in the initial energy, and besides improving the general arterial pressure, it would be advantageous to keep the fect much lower than the head and shoulders. Possibly if the lady had been under medical treatment she might have conserved her own comfort, preserved the affection of her hus- band (though she might not have thought the affection of the brute worth preserving), and saved the notoriety of the divorce court. it was directed—or seemed to be directed; perhaps they were doing some moralizing for themselves. However this may be, it is not going to do much good—this moralizing, I mean. Moralizing, as I look at it, is a subjective, intangible thing—the weapon of the casuist and the policy Of aggression pursued by the sophist. Were it not better at times like this to be objective—that is, to say or write, or at least think, something that is measurable and applicable in the same way that a coat of whitewash or a gob of soapsuds is appli- cable? What is the use, for instance, in dwelling on the folly of the brainy, brawny ironmaster or shipping merchant or banker or what not who rears his son in idleness, luxury, ease and that sort of “independence” that is the most slavish form of downright dependence? Fathers will go on making money and leaving it to sons as long as the world goes round. ‘There's nothing in blaming dead fathers or in talking the Deca- logue to living, live-wire sons. Point out to the latter, when the chance comes, how others see them; that sort of ridicule will tell. Thus, what must be the feelings of that prodigal who, having proved himself a fat-headed calf, gets into trouble, to find that those on whom he had lavished his attentions and professed his utter lack of intentions are the ones who regard him with the most contempt? What sort of myopia is it that blinds an educated, cultured young American or Englishman of to-day, when newspapers are served with the breakfast and other forms of the world’s thought and experience with luncheon and dinner, to the fact that he is the antithesis of a hero in the eyes of the will-o-the-wispe of the show-girl line and the chorus? and though they hardly require a defense, I want to point out that thero are a Zew compensating advantages even to the alleged decay of domes- ticity. ‘Phere is no doubt that women of the upper middle class haye now more leisure than they ever had, and we must look to this class for mod- ern developments: Nowadays the ‘morning visit of the tradesman’s cart, the production in bakeries and factories of things formerly made at home, the telegraph, the telephone, the cooperative stores, have so lightened household work that for a woman to spend her whole time in the care and management of her home would be absurd. Housekeeping has been re- duced to a minimum, and middle class women having thus leisure from home duties, have found fresh channels for work and play. Games, for women, are a development of the last 30 years. ‘Tennis, hockey, cricket and golf have taken the place of indoor sedentary pastimes, and it must be admitted that the modern mother gains enormously in moral influence by being able to understand her son’s games and appre- ciate his Keenness at them. She, who formerly mourned as a “golf widow,” may now by industry attain proficiency in her husband’s game, and in consequence, be not only able to tolerate his golf “shop,” but even beat him eventually by three up, with the aid of a stroke a hole and a Little inaccuracy in scqring! s Shite oy2 ale 1 work out his personal and raeial sil vation, and the Negro press is on of the most potent agencies in th: task. By all means attend th press association and let your pres ence and voice be felt and heard Telephone Situation. | The advent in Denver of several pro moters with a scheme for the estab- lishing of a second telephone system in Denver is furnishing food for retier- tion on the part of our citizens. An analysis of the franchise which they propose to have submitted to the tax paying electors at the next general election, and a careful consideration of the subject of telephone competition as a general proposition, brings out 2 grave question as to any benefits to be derived from the scheme by the peop!- of Denver. A much quoted maxim says that “competition is the life of trade”; this is always true as for as the trades. men are concerned, and, in most cases. the public is the beneficiary, The principles involved in telephone com: petition, however, are in no way identi- cal with trade competition. Experi ence has proven that in every cas> where a city has two telephone sys- tems the value of the utility to the sub- scriber has been cut in half, or, he has forced, in order to reach all telephone subscribers, to install a telephone of each system, thus practically doubling his telephone expense. That is what telephone competition does for the bus iness man, no matter what the rates of either company may be. If there were no element but the question of rates entering into the proposition, the rates proposed by the new company will hardly prove attrac tive to any considerale number of sub- scribers to the present system, They propose to charge $6.25 per month for business, and $2.25 per month for resi- dence, reserving the right in their proposed franchise to inerease these rates 50 cents per month for each one ‘housand subscribers added to their exchange above ten thousand. As the Colorado Telephone Company now has 20,000 telephones in Denver it is apparent that at this ratio of in crease the new company’s rates would amount to a considerable sum before the new company could properly be considered as a competitor of the Col- orado Telephone Company from thy standpoint of the number of possibic connections in each exchange! in pro- portion to the rates charged. Besides, over 5,000 of the present Weppicne users in Denver are paying $8.00, o¢ less, a month for théir residence tele- phones, and some 4,000 others are pay- ing less than $5.00 a month for their business telephones. There are other ‘thousands paying less than $3.00 a month for their residence telephones, and less than 8.00 a month for their business telephones; and $3.00 for res- idence and $8.00 for business is the maximum rate provided in the pro- posed franchise of the new company. This is the proposition that con- fronts the business man where a competitve telephone system is pro- posed. The experience of other cities where dual telephone systems exist is, that from fifty to eighty per cent, of the business men have both tele- phones, which gives them a divided service and a double expense. It fol- lows, then, that every business man of Denver who signs a petition, votes for or in any way encourages a second tel. ephone system, is acting against his own interests. It is a proposition that directly affects the pocket-book, and the pocket-book will get the worst of It. Dr. J. E. Sheppard, of Durham, Dr. J. B. Sheppard, of Durham, N. C., was the only colored man as a delegate to the Winoria Lake In- ternational Sunday School Confer- ence. Dr, Sheppard has been yranted a four months’ absence to go through the Holy Lands, and has also been elected as a delegate to the International Exeeutive Committee to Rome. He will leave in February. ‘The Critic and the Lady. ee ah eee Oe Talleyrand, the noted Frenchman, Possessed wit of so high an order that it has stood well the test of time, and his jokes are still good. The author of “Juniper Hall” gives two of his sayings to Madame de Stacl, He was a great admirer of Madame Recamier and Madame de Stacl, the one for her beauty, the other for her wit. Madame de Stael asked him one day if he found himself with both of them in the sea on a plank, and could only save one, which it would be, to which he replied: “Ab! Madame de Stael knows so many things, doubtless she knows how to swim.” When “Delphine” appeared, it was said that Madame de Stacl had de scribed herself as Delphine, and that Talleyran§ was the original of Ma- fame de Vernon, Meeting the authoress soon after- ward, Talleyrand remarked, in his most gentle tone of voice: “I hear that both you and I appear fn your new book, but disguised as Women.”—Mortreal Herald, Relation of Blood Cirrulation to Health WELL balanced circulation of the blood is a necessity for the maintenance of life and health, and only with healthy blood vessels can a man hope to retain his mental and bodily vigor, and expect to attain a green old age. ‘The capillaries through which the interchange of nutritive pabulum and gases take place between the blood and tissues, play a most important role in the animal economy.

One of the witnesses caled in a Chi- cago divorce case last year was a highly respected clergyman in the Windy City. According to one of the counsel in the case, the following con- versation took place between the fudge and the minister, Said His Honor: ‘Dr. Blank, Sf you were on the bench in my stead, and you were acquainted with all the circumstances of this case, would you grant this divorce?” “Assuredly I would, Your Honor,” replied the clergyman, without the least hesitation. “But,” said the judge, “how do you reconcile this assertion with the in- junction of Scripture, ‘Whom God hath joined let no man put asunder’?” “Your Honor,” responded the min- ister, with convincing gravity, “I am quite satisfied that the Almighty never Joined this couple.”"—Harper’s Weekly. Composer Over Fond ef Coffec. The Italian composer Donizetti was accustomed to immure himself in a room, with a quantity of music paper, pen and ink, and three or tour coffee pots full of coffee. He began imbib ing these when he began to write and continued until the supply was ex- hausted, Then he ordered in more, and when that was finjshed another supply. The amount of coffee which he drank was fabulous—yet he deem- ed it entirely necessary for his inspira- tion. As the result of such extraor- dinary habit the once handsome man contracted the yellow complexion which we are apt to associate with a chinese or a Hindoo; his lps were generally jet black, his nervous sys- tem broke down, and this brought in its active train the premature decay of his faculties, Played Go'f Game at Nicht. This is a description of a game of golf which was played in the Shetland islands one night this summer: “The first ball was driven from the tee at filye minutes to 12 (midnight) and ¢ full double round of eighteen holes was played, the match terminating at 2:30, The light was so good that the balls could easily be seen where they lay after having been driven well from the tee and there was never any difficulty in finding them. Shortly af- ter 12 o'clock the lark was heard in full song, and it was broad daylight by the time the match was finished. The experiment was such a success that it was repeated on several sub- Bequent occasions.” FASHION WAS HI8 HOBBY. Young Clerk's Clothes Better Than Those of His Employer. “I went into a large clothing store the other day,” said Swellman, “to find out something about men’s fasix fons for the horse show. Naturally, 1 sought the head of the department. “Bless you,’ he said, ‘I don’t know. I don’t dress in that class myself. But I have a clerk who can tell you all about it. Boy, ask Mr. Blank to please step this way.’ “In a moment I was approached by one of the greatest swells I ever saw in my life. He wore one of the new English long, loose morning coats of @ light brown color, a white waist: coat and trouse the tint of a rob- in’s egg. To my urprise he was not at all affected in manner. Clothes were his hobby, that’s all, He talked of fashions as enthusiastically as a man familiar with racing would talk of horses, He knew all about the styles in London and Paris. He un derstood precisely what was wanted for the horse show. As I came away T said to the head of the department: ““That young man seems to be well up in his business,’ “‘He's a wonder,’ was the reply. ‘When he isn’t waiting on customers he is reading fashion magazines and looking at tailors’ plates.

Coquetry and the fashion of unstable forms cannot explain the despotic attraction that precious stones exercise over our senses, says the L'Eclair. Their fascinating power has never ceased.

The city of New York expends 45 cents a year for each inhabitant for what is known technically as public recreation, says the New York Sun. This term includes music in parks, public baths, playgrounds, flowers and recreation piers. The contribution of New York for this purpose amounts to more than $1,500,000 a year and is rapidly approaching $2,000,000. It is on a scale of liberality equal to that of most of American cities, but comes very far behind Boston, which expends $1 a head for the same purpose. Denver expends 55 cents per capita for public recreation. Learn Shorthand in 10 Days for notetaking; speed for office position in 8 weeks, guaranteed. New quick method, rapid, accurate.

Harris, of Chestnut St., Jefferson, Ohio, says: "For over ten years I suffered from kidney disease. The third year my feet and hands would swell and remain puffed up for days at a time. I seemed to have a constant backache. Finally I got so bad that I was laid up in bed with several doctors years I suffered from kidney disease. The third year my feet and hands would swell and remain puffed up for days at a time. I seemed to have a constant backache. Finally I got so bad that I was laid up in bed with several doctors in attendance. I thought surely I would die. I changed medicine and began using Doan's Kidney Pills when I was still in bed. The relief I found was so great that I kept on until I had taken about ten boxes. The kidney secretions became natural and after years of misery I was cured. I have increased in weight, and show no symptoms of my former trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N.Y. Three Great Conversationalists. The three greatest conversationalists with whom it has been my good fortune to come into touch were Mazzini, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Bismark. Of these, Dr. Holmes was the most spirited in the bel esprit sense; Bismarck the most imposing and at the same time the most entertaining in point of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and narrative of historical interest, brought out with rushing vivacity and with lightning-like illumination of conditions, facts and men. In Mazzini words there breathed such a warmth and depth of conviction, such enthusiasm of faith in the sacredness of the principles professed and of the aims pursued by him, that it was difficult to resist such a power of fascination—Carl Schurz in McClure's Magazine. States of Brazil. Politically, Brazil is divided into 21 states (including the federal district), but so unequal is the division that three of these embrace practically her entire lowlands, as well as a portion of the western uplands, and exceed in area the remaining 18, which lie within the highland region, except for their narrow margins upon the coast. These latter, however, contain more than 96 per cent. of the population. Parasols for Parisian Horses.

Hasty Nervous Chewing of Food the Cause of Dyspepsia If your teeth are fit, chew, chew, chew, until the food is liquid and insists on being swallowed. If teeth are faulty, soften Grape-Nuts with hot milk or cream, or allow to stand a minute soaking in cold cream. "There's a reason," as follows: Grape-Nuts food is in the form of hard and brittle granules, intended to be ground up by the teeth; that work not only preserves the teeth but brings down the saliva from the gums so necessary in the primary work of digestion. Many people say (and it is true) that when they eat Grape-Nuts they seem able to digest not only that food but other kinds which formerly made trouble when eaten without Grape-Nuts. Chew!!

One of the bullets took effect in the chest and entering the right side passed through, coming out on the left side, inflicting a dangerous wound. Brown was arrested. TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA. Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Antibiotics "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905." SECOND HAND MAIL BOXES. Why a Little Village May Have Big Numbers in Its Post Office. The man who was spending his summer vacation in the country was looking quizzically at the mail boxes in the rural post office. "I did not know this was such a large place," he said. "I thought it had a population of only about 4,000, but the mail box numbers run much higher than that, and I don't suppose every one in town rents a box either." The postmaster peered out of his little barred window. "I can explain that," he said. "You see the country post offices never get new boxes, but we have those left over when the city establishments make over their offices and get new boxes. So you see lots of country places are bound to have high number boxes. "Although our numbers run over 4,000, you won't find any less than 1,000, some other country post office drew the lower ones. I myself would rather get the big numbers, for it makes us seem like a bustling little city." The Age of Lead. We are wont to speak of this era as the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pilable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impossible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype "slugs," monotype type—all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product—what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty—inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are essential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. Tact. He had crossed her and she was in a dangerous mood. "See!" she hissed, pointing her finger at him. "see how you have worked up my feelings. Why, I am purple with rage." But the young man only smiled. "So becoming," he mused, softly. "What is becoming, sir?" "Why, the purple. It just matches that purple waist you have on." And the next moment she was all smiles and telling her girl friends that George was the cleverest chap in the world. Arrangements were made to take a sunlight photograph at the bottom of the shaft of a mine 2,000 feet deep at Sombrerete, in Mexico, on June 21, the only day in the year when the sun shines there.

Following we publish two letters from a woman who accepted this invitation. Note the result: First letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For eight years I have suffered something terrible every month. The pains are excruciating and I can hardly stand them. My doctor says I have a severe female trouble, and I must go through an operation if I want to get well. I do not want to submit to it if I can possibly help it. Please tell me what to do. I hope you can relieve me."—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and E. Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C. Second letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "After following carefully your advice, and taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I am very anxious to send you this letter to show their value and what you have done for me." Lincoln as a Lawyer. A leader of the Lincoln party told the other day in Philadelphia a story of the astuteness of Lincoln as a lawyer. "When Lincoln was practising law," he said, "he had a case involving a disputed will. The opposition claimed the will was genuine and for several hours adduced proof of this. For Lincoln, who had to prove the will a forgery, things looked black. "Lincoln, however, only called one witness, a retired paper manufacturer, renowned the country over for his wealth and probity. "'Mr. Dash,' Lincoln said to this witness, handing him the disputed will, 'please hold that paper up to the light and tell us what is the water mark on it.' "'The water mark of my own firm, Blank & Co.,' the witness answered. 'When did your firm begin to manufacture paper?' "'And what's the date of the document in your hands?' "'August 11, 1836.' "'That is enough. Gentlemen of the jury our case is closed.'" His Scheme Worked. It is related that a certain man was recently very sad because his wife had gone out of town on a visit, which she would not shorten in spite of his appeals to her to come home. He finally hit upon a plan to induce her to return. He sent her a copy of each of the local papers with one item clipped out, and when she wrote to find out what it was he had clipped out he refused to tell her. The scheme worked admirably! In less than a week she was home to find out what it was that had been going on that her husband didn't want her to know about. -Pittsburgh Press. Something Wrong.

A With the coming of cooler days one must pick the dresses which will be in harmony with the change, and nothing is finer than the little smocked frocks of alpaca for young girls. They not only can be worn for the end of the summer season, but later on for school. Alpaca is also much to be commended for the making of dresses for misses' wear, as they are not only serviceable but smart. In fact, it will be distinctly wise if for the majority of the young folks' new gowns, the chosen materials are alpaca, covert coating, serve or volle, as then they will do good service right up to the time when winter clothes and furs become a necessity. decorative—to outline with ruffled frillings of it. For a dress for cooler the fashionable checks be made up into the face of the one shown in our phee blue, with a contrast ice of black and white, aing finish of some ivorying one of the most schemes. Or, if made mer cloth in black and a could be worn right on and in this case the we could introduce some t—old rose for example specially well with border and white. With the younger girls it is coming more and more to be the custom to wear the lighter washable materials all the year, the needed warmth being supplied by the extra flannel undergarments. And the dress of decorative design is just as necessary for the seven-year-old as for the 17-year-old miss. But for both the choice may well fall upon white muslin or fine pique trimmed with the broderie anglaise, which as it manages to combine daintiness and durability in the most satisfactory fashion, is likely to go on enjoying the favor of fashion and her followers for many a long day to come. In the case of the little damsel of seven, the design of the sketch may be followed to advantage, the broderie which forms that very effective plastron and panel being outlined with little kilted frillings of the muslin, while a foiled belt of soft blush rose pink satin may be passed underneath, so that it may give a fascinating suggestion of its presence through the semi-transparency of the brodery in front, though it comes into fuller prominence at the sides. Sweet 17, in her turn, might really with just a few modifications, adapt the same design to her own use, the broderie panel being, of course, in her case, so graduated as to taper at the waist and widen out again at the skirt; while a transparent yoke and colar band of Valenciennes lace and a foam of frills in the same soft lace as a finish to the elbow sleeves, may also be suggested, while furthermore it would be advisable—and distinctly A Short Chapter on Hats for Fall Wear "What will Mi Lady's fall hat be made of What will Mi Lady's fall hat be made of. Plumes and wings, and ribbons galore. And that's what Mi Lady's hat will be made of." It will, of course cost a pretty penny, but then generally when a woman is buying a bonnet she doesn't count the cost until after the bill comes in and then with sweetest resignation she lets dear hubby do the worrying. A point of special note in reference to the new millinery is the extreme length of the plumes seen on many of the dressier styles of hats. Some are almost two feet in length and made to look longer by the manner in which they are placed on the hat. Instead of being curled around the latter, they are put on almost straight, thus showing off to full length. Some are ostrich, although fancy effects are seen. As to colors, white and black will be strong factors in the situation, but the other shades will not be neglected. Brown in the entire range will be used, while green and blue effects will be seen, also certain shades of red, particularly of the raspberry order. A new shade also will be introduced, known as princess blue, which is similar to royal although a trifle gayer. Ribbons will be much in evidence, and solid color effects in lighter shades on the body of the hat will be particularly good in soft lustrous weaves, while warp prints in light effects will be used for very dressy hats. These ribbons will be manipulated in a variety of different forms, such as decorative—to outline the broderie with ruffled frillings of Valenciennes. For a dress for cooler days one of the fashionable checked volles may be made up into the faithful likeness of the one shown in our sketch, sapphire blue, with a contrast on the bodice of black and white, and the softening finish, of some ivory-toned lace being one of the most effective color schemes. Or, if made in a fine summer cloth in black and white check, it could be worn right on into October, and in this case the waistcoat fronts could introduce some touch of color—old rose for example, would look specially well with borderings of black and white. For the grown-ups already the prettiest of foulard dresses are being made up, to serve a double purpose—that of finishing out the outdoor season, when it is possible to wander around minus a wrap of any description, and an event more important one of being used for a house dress. Paris has openly declared her belief in foulards—but they are always the new foulards, which have come under the chiffon influence and find themselves as soft and supple, and almost as rich in a way as liberty satins. Only the simpler sort of house gowns can be made of them, but they are stunning. Red foulards, sprinkled all over with tiny white dots, are made up in fascinating ways that show skirts shirred on cords, unique plaitings and tucks and plain shirrings without number. Of course, there is trimming, and it is usually of a lingerie type—a sheer white yoke, perhaps with undersleeves to match, or at least with some sort of a frill or of an elbow cuff to match. Like crepe de chine, a foulard doesn't require a silk lining, which makes it appeal even more strongly to the majority of women. The combination of dotted foulard with a plain foulard of the same shade is most effective of all when it is carried out in a new blue, lighter than the usual shades, as soft, in its way, as is old blue, yet a much stronger shade and one that utterly lacks the peculiar milky tone that characterizes old blue. the bow in double, triple and even quadruple for matrons, while chou and rosette ideas will be seen among various other forms. Flowers will not be forgotten, the natural effects not being so much sought after as the large silk and velvet roses which are very beautiful ```markdown ``` and ornamental. These will be seen as a sole adornment and also in combination with feathers and plumes. Fruit, especially the grape, will make a strong bid for popularity, and the natural colors will prevail, while foliage will be very little in evidence. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

Finest hand work in the city PHONE 3230 MAIN. Denver, Colo SMOKE, SAYS M. D. TO WOMEN. Asserts Tea Wrecks Heart, But Cigarettes Provide a Remedy. Cleveland.—Dr. Martin Friedrich, health officer of Cleveland, advises women of the smart set to smoke cigarettes if they would preserve their complexion and escape heart disease. Tea, of which society women are so fond, causes heart disease, he says, because it stimulates the heart without feeding it. Nicotine is required to counteract the effect of the beverage. The doctor has declared war on the pink tea and "green" luncheons. He says there are two kinds of complexions here—natural and premediated. "I care not for the latter," he said. "I presume the owners will look out for that. It is the former which may be ruined." Dr. Friedrich believes that Cleveland's bon-ton belongs to the former class and seldom separates itself from its complexion, so he proposes to make an investigation of society's pink tea. He has received complaints that tea and ice cream contain unhealthful coloring matter. "Tea is harmful enough in itself and doubly so when adulterated or colored," he says. "Cleveland women do not know that thelan, the active principle of tea, stimulates the heart without feeding it," he said. "Women here have heart disease without knowing the reason. It is the tea they drink." And the doctor is not without expedient. Would Cleveland women defy the danger of heart trouble in the tea cup? Then let them smoke cigarettes. "You see, it's just like this," he said. "Thelian stimulates the heart, nicotine depresses it. Do I advise & feminine cigarette? Now don't quote me that way, but you may draw your own conclusions, though." ROMANCE OF AN ARMY SHIRT. Indiana Girl Puts Name on Garment to Charm Cupid. Jeffersonville, Ind.—The romance of a blue army shirt has culminated in the wedding of pretty Miss Minnie Burns of this city to John Hausseld, late of the United States army. When the ex-soldier, tall and erect, still bronzed from army life on the western plains, stood proudly beside his winsome and blushing bride in St. Augustine's rectory last evening while pledging the old, old vows the ceremony marked the final chapter in one of the prettiest romances of Indiana's Gretna Green. Months ago John Hausseld was stationed at Fort Riley, Kan. As he pulled on a new army shirt one morning he noticed that a tag bore the name, "Minnie Burns, Jeffersonville, Ind." The soldier immediately took a tender fancy to the shirt—and to the name. In fact, he liked the shirt and the name so well that he decided to write to Miss Minnie Burns, at Jeffersonville, and thank her for sending both to cheer the routine of a soldier's life. The letter went, a tiny and very proper answer came, but it gave excuse for a reply, and thus the correspondence was continued. The shirt was made by the mother of Miss Burns, who was a seamstress for the local army depot. In a spirit of fun the girl put her name on one of the shirts, and Cupid did the rest, Mr. and Mrs. Hausseld will make their home in this city. BABY'S WHIM SAVES ITS LIFE. Child Strikes Aside Poison Offered Through a Druggist's Error. Norfolk, Va.—A baby's whim that led it to dash from its mother's hand a powder that the mother was about to give to the child saved the latter's life. Mrs. Frank Eberle had sent to a druggist for medicine for her four-months-old infant. When the medicine arrived the mother opened one of the powders and started to pour it on the tongue of the baby. The child was waving its arms, and before any of the powder touched its tongue it knocked the paper from the mother's hand. Mrs. Eberle called for another powder, and was in the act of placing it in the baby's mouth when she heard the servant crying at the top of her voice: "Mrs. Eberle, don't give the baby that medicine." The maid repeated the warning as she hurried upstairs. She informed Mrs. Eberle the druggist had telephoned that a mistake had been made in the prescription, and that a dangerous poison had been sent to her. COW'S TONGUE SAVES LIFE. Licks Unconscious Owner's Face and Pulse Until He Revives. Sayre, Pa.—Simon Worster, a farmer on the Elliston road, believes that he owes his life to a friendly cow which he was fattening for the butcher. He fell unconscious in his barn at about three o'clock in the afternoon and at six he was brought to his senses by his old cow standing over him and licking his face. The animal had apparently been doing this during all the interim, for when he recovered consciousness his wrists were all aglow from the rough coat of the cow's tongue. His doctor said that the animal had saved his life; that the constant rubbing of her rough-coated tongue against his face and on his pulse had restored respiration. Instead of the bovine healer being slaughtered she will live in pastures green and by cool waters as long as she breathes.
