Pueblo Colored Citizens Hold Indignation Meeting Denouncing President Roosevelt's Action in Discharging Negro Troops. VOL. XIII, PROT Pueblo Colored Citizens Holding President Roosevelt Negro About 600 colored people of the city attended a mass meeting yesterday afternoon to protest against the action of President Roosevelt in discharging three companies of colored troops of the 25th infsntry which were stantioned at Fort Reno, Okla. The meeting was held at the Bethleham Baptist church, and the feature of the afternoon was the address of Attorney W. B. townsend, whose remarks seemed to voice the sentiments of all present Among others who made short talks were D. E. Overs, H. F. Bray J. C. C. Owens and N. L. Bray. At the conclusion of these addresses the following resolutions was as follows: "Mr. Chairman, your committee to whom was delegated the task to express the sentiments of this mass meeting beg leave to submit the following report and ask its adoption. "First. We do not endorse crime if committed by members of our race be they in the army or out of it; we regret the unfortunate circumstances at Brownsville, Texas, which resulted in the killing of a white saloonkeeper and a Negro soldier which was brought about by the hatred of those southerners expressing their contempt for Negroes wearing the uniform of the United States army, and pushing Negro soldiers from the sidewalks insulting them and denying to them the common privileges which are readily granted to other persons. "Second. If any of the soldiers of companies B. C. D. at Brownsville, Texas, committed crime we regret that a grand jury composed of citizens of that community impaneled to inquire into facts failed to find a true bill against those soldiers who were in jail awaiting the action of the said grand jury. And that it was left for General Garlington to act in an exparate manner without evidence to indict the whole battalion of riot and recommend to the president they each and all of them, be dishonorably discharged from the army. "Third. We regret that the president, Mr. Roosevelt, acted upon the impulse of the moment and so hastily indorsed the report of General Garlington, which was to discharge those soldiers, the innocent with the guilty, without a trial either in a military court or Douglas, John Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATI COLOR TEST. Indignation Meeting Denounc- s Action in Discharging Troops. BY PATRON LORA THE J T. eting Denounc- scharging civil court and without a hearing before any judge or jury. Fourth. We disapprove of the president's order indorsing the wholesale injustice to those of the troopers who are innocent upon the theory that it is better that 90 and 9 guilty men escape punishment than to punish one innocent man. We disapprove of the president's order because as he said, that members of the Negro race must seek out the criminal members of the race which if carried to its logical conclusion would make every one of ten million Negroes each other's keeper, such requirements and exactions are not made of any other race in this country to instance: The cultured law-abiding white people are not responsible for the criminal, ignorant and vicious element of their race. Fifth. We disapprove of the president's order because his action in this matter of the Negro troops is without precedent; the nearest approach may be found in the sumptuary acts of the czar of Russia who a few weeks ago ordered 500 of his subjects killed because some one or few of them were accused of having killed the mayor of a city of that country. President Roosevelt did not order the troopers killed literally but he ordered them to be killed civilly. "Sixth. We disapprove of the action of the president because it seems that only the Negro troops are seized upon to create and "maintain discipline in the army," for it is common knowledge that the 4th cavalry, U. S. troops, when stationed at Fort Walla Walla, Washington, a few years ago formed a mob and stormed the town jail and lynched a citizen who was accused of killing a soldier. No member of that regiment was discharged for being engaged in riot or murder or violating the discipline of the army, but the officers who were in charge of the regiment and who were responsible for the conduct of that regiment were disciplined and reprimanded. "Seventh. We disapprove of the president's acts in this matter because we believe he has overreached his authority and has violated that part of the constitution of the United States which was made and means for him to respect as much as it does for the humblest citizen of this country; he has ignored by wal15 unopgala2 his order, article 5 of the amended constitution to this country; which provides among other things: 'No one shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law' the president may have under that section the authority to order the discharge of said troopers, but we deny his authority to take from them the right to re-enlist in the army or to hold office under the government, for The Colorado Statesman takes pleasure in presenting to its readers the cut of our next United States senator. His election will be the next important move in political circles. This particular event is scheduled, according to the operation of events to take place early in January, a few days after the assembling and organization of the Legislature. That the successor of Senator Patterson will be a Republican goes without saying, since the Legislature standing will be seventy-one Republicans to twenty-nine Democrats, which leaves a Republican majority of forty-two, while it only requires fifty-one to elect. The one man to date who will receive this honor will be Simon Guggenheim, one of the greatest mining and smelting men of the West. There are several good reasons why Mr. Guggenheim should thus be signally honored. First, because he is and has always been a loyal and earnest believer in Republican principles, having gone down or come up with the party in defeat or success during the past eighteen years. Second, because he has been a regular and liberal contributor to the party's expense bill. There is no denying the fact that it takes money to run a campaign. What seeker after party success or political preferment in this or any other state, if he is able, does not contribute to the success and expense of the party through which he hopes to raise the standard of good government? In fact, Mr. Guggenheim's generosity to the Republican party was one of the grounds of opposition raised against him during the last campaign. The third reason why Mr. Guggenheim should be the only and logical candidate for this signal and well-merited honor is because he, as well as Judge Gabbert, was made the issue in the campaign by the Democratic party. They sought to curry favor with the labor vote and steal votes from the Western Federation of Miners and Socialists on the ground that a smelter magnate would be the Republican party's choice and on this issue the battle was openly fought and successfully won and now the toga politically belongs to him. Now that we have rightfully diagnosed the reasons why Mr. Guggenheim politically deserves the honor, let us give several personal reasons why the Colorado Statesman and colored voters favors Mr. Guggenheim's candidacy. First, because he is still a young man and in the prime of life, with no moss-back issues to unload. Second, that his racial instinct and deprivations would make him a strong sympathizer with all people who suffer because of racial ostracism. Third, because Mr. Guggenheim has as much, if not more, credited to his public charity than any other philanthropic citizen within the borders of our state. The National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives is a monument to his generous soul. A beautiful seventy thousand-dollar hall at the School of Mines is a personal gift to the state and a positive benefit to the rising generation who will develop the latent possibilities and hidden wealth of Colorado for generations to come. He is also a contributor to Booker T. Washington's work and to the Western Tuskegee, so ably conducted by Prof. William R. Carter at Topeka, Kansas. Besides, Mr. Guggenheim has contributed $100 to the Negro building exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. There is probably no other man in the state who has or is doing more with his wealth to help in every laudable way the work of charity, education and progress that is making for the rise of all classes in the scale of civilization and manhood. As we look over the situation, we see no reason why the Republicans of the next General Assembly should not unanimously select Mr. Guggenheim to be Colorado's choice for the United States Senate. He will be a working senator, one of the kind that thinks and acts according to clear, common sense, business ideas in the interest of the state and the whole people. The Colorado Statesman congratulates you, Senator Guggenheim, on your long-deserved and well-merited honor and wishes for you much success in your position of influence and power as the highest representative of the best known state in the great West.

OWENS, N. F. BRAY, CHAS. H. HOLMES, M. B. BROOKS, W. R. HARDY, Committee. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. New York, Nov. 20.—Negro clergymen of Brooklyn, co operating with a committee recently appointed by the New York State Baptist convention, have started a movement to have the presentation of Thomas Dixon's play. "The Clansman," prohibited here. It is booked for Thanksgiving week at the Broadway Theatre, Brooklyn. New York, Nov. 27.—The purchase was recently made by the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company of this city of the four story building at Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue, which will be completely renovated and two stories added to make it a department store exclusively for Negroes. This is the part of a general scheme on the part of the company to build stores to aid the members of the Negro race in many parts of the country. The stores will employ several hundred Negroes male and female. It will be conducted, and others will be conducted, and others will be organized to provide labor for members of the Negro race. Cincinnati, Nov. 29.—Gans and Nelson, the pugilists who, with their managers, have been contesting over the profits from the exhibition of pictures of their last fight, settled their differences at a conference here to-day. The criminal proceedings against Nolan, Nelson's manager, will be dropped. The money which was the cause of dispute has been divided, Gans securing the larger portion. The fight picture films were also divided, Nelson securing two, which he can exhibit only abroad, Gans retaining exclusive right to show the pictures in the United States and Canada. There are only a few certainties in the world. One of them is the mother; you can always depend on her. After a man passes 70, living must be a good deal like waiting to go to a dentist to have a tooth pulled. PIANO SALE Blizzard Stops Big Suipment of Pianos at Denver and Sacrifice Sale Ordered.

SO MANY OFFICERS THINK Uncle Sam's Soldiers Must Stay Until Peace is Fully Assured—Political Feeling Between Factions is Still Dangerously Bitter. Washington.—It is said here that the United States is in Cuba to stay for some years to come, and, perhaps, for all time. How long the soldiers stay, and how long the affairs of the Cuban government are administered by Americans, depends wholly on the Cubans. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bacon are declared to have come away from Havana thoroughly convinced that the people of the island, in their present state of political development, were incapable of governing themselves. Before leaving Havana, Mr. Taft told the Cuban political leaders that our troops would not be withdrawn, and we would not leave the island to itself again until confidence had been restored and the affairs of government put on a stable, sound and permanent basis. Since it has been determined to retain control of the island, every consideration demands that the work of putting business on a normal basis should be undertaken at once. Dispatches that have come from Havana since Governor Magoon assumed control have not been reassuring in tone. General Bell's plan to give the troops "practice marches" through the island, it is acknowledged, is nothing more than a plan to impress upon the Cubans the fact that the United States is in armed control of their country and will not permit another outbreak. Another reason for these marches is to preserve the discipline of the troops. The peace that exists in Cuba to-day is only on the surface, and every one who has recently visited the island realizes that if our soldiers were withdrawn now a condition of anarchy would follow. The feeling between the defeated Moderates and the Liberals is bitter to a degree. Recent cable dispatches report harsh dissensions in the Liberal party. The Cuban political leaders that the Taft commission came in contact with proved themselves nothing more than grafters; shrewd and keen hunters after political office and perquisites that accompany political position in Latin-American countries. The ignorant low-class Cuban is a lovable fellow. Obedient, pleasure-loving, polite, and hard working when he must be, he is as clay in the hands of the unscrupulous politicians who have gained an ascendency in the island. It is these men who have made Cuban independence impossible. When President Roosevelt returns to Washington he and Secretary Taft will go carefully over the entire situation and determine when the election shall be held and what method shall be taken to insure a continuation of peace and normal conditions in Cuba. That this will mean the retention of troops and a certain number of civil officers is now definitely known. Street Car Blot In Canada. Hamilton, Ont.—Never in Hamilton's history were such scenes of disorder and lawlessness seen as were enacted in the principal streets of the city Saturday night. Scores of rioters, sympathizers with the striking street car men, felt the weight of policemen's night sticks and the keen edge of the soldiers' swords in conflicts on James and King streets. At a late hour street cars were running at intervals under heavy guards, but they did not carry passengers, and continued to be the targets for fusillades of stones and bricks from side streets and alleyways. Drastic as were the measures taken by the authorities, it was plain that the mob spirit had not been broken. Yale Defeats Harvard. New Haven, Conn.—Yale's bright blue banners wave triumphantly over the city, the signal of another victory over Harvard Saturday, the final score being 6 to 0. The crimson went down to defeat in a desperate battle, which in football strategy and spectacular plays has had few equals since the two universities have met. To Yale passed the almost undisputed title of the college championship of the country, clouded only by the drawn, no-score contest at Princeton a week ago. If Harvard had won she would have been practically certain of the championship. General Palmer Improving. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Signed by two Denver and two local physicians in attendance, the following bulletin concerning the condition of Gen. W. J. Palmer was given out Sunday night: "General Palmer shows a continued definite improvement in the control of his muscles and there is plain evidence of the healing of his fracture." General Palmer's appetite is good and he is able to transact considerable business. He reads daily and converses with members of his family and friends. He is improving steadily." Unknown Negro Hero. Cheyenne, Wyo.—An unknown negro proved himself a hero Friday, night in rescuing Miss Mabel Fincher, a Cheyenne school teacher, from a watery grave in Lake Minnehaha. Miss Fincher and a little girl skated across a piece of thin ice and into the lake. The water was not deep and Miss Fincher lifted the child onto the ice, but was unable to save herself. As she was about to succumb to the cold an unknown negro skated up and plunged in after her. He raised the teacher to the ice, then climbed out of the water without assistance and skated away. DEATH OF A. H. GARFIELD. Colorado Pioneer and Relative of President Garfield. Denver.—Alexander H. Garfield of this city died of a stroke of paralysis at Morrison November 23d. He was a relative and playmate of President Garfield and one of the well-known pioneers of Colorado, and at the time of his death was seventy-nine years of age. Mr. Garfield was a thirty-second degree Mason, a Knight Templar and a Shriner, and very prominent in Masonic circles. As president of the Colorado Lime and Fluxing company, the Leadville Lime and Fluxing company, the Morrison Lime and Fluxing company and several other stone companies, he was known throughout the state among business men. As a pioneer his name is familiar to all the old residents of Colorado, having been a resident of Denver for twenty-seven years. For twenty-six years he has furnished the smelters of Denver with flux. He was still actively engaged in business and in the best of health. The stroke which resulted in his death came upon him suddenly Monday morning in Morrison. Mr. Garfield's widow and only daughter, Mrs. Perry, were in Pasadena, California, at the time and instantly started for Denver. For the past few years he had spent a great deal of time in California, as have his widow and daughter. Mr. Garfield was born in Phelps, New York, and moved to Painesville, Ohio, when about twenty-five years of age with his people. Here he engaged in the contracting and stone business and was for years a government contractor. He built a great many breakwaters and lighthouses along the shores of Lake Erie for the government, and erected many federal buildings of various kinds throughout the state. President Garfield was his second cousin and the two used to visit one another frequently. Twenty-seven years ago Mr. Garfield left Painesville and came to Denver, where he has remained in business since. Aspen Editor Shot Denver.—An Aspen special to the Republican says: Sunday morning at 4:15 o'clock as C. H. Pitney, assistant editor of the Aspen Times, was shoveling snow in front of his residence, he was shot in the neck by Joe Warner. Pitney was at once treated by Dr. Robinson, who discovered that the bullet had entered on the right side, going around the windpipe under the skin and coming out at the left side. Just as Warner shot Pitney put his hand on his face, throwing his head back, and this act undoubtedly saved his life. An alarm was immediately given and officers took the trail of Warner, who started down the river. He was followed and captured and placed in the jail at Aspen on the charge of assault with intent to kill. The trouble between Warner and Pitney, it is said, has been of long standing, and is alleged to have arisen over attentions paid by Pitney to Warner's wife. Pitney is not seriously injured and will recover. Committee of State Institutions. Denver.—The senatorial committee on state institutions appointed by the president of the last Senate, started from Denver Monday night on a tour of inspection. This committee consists of Senators Barela, Lewis, Anfenger, Clayton and Taylor. The Normal school at Greeley is the first place to be visited, to be followed by visits to the Agricultural college, the State university, the School of Mines, the industrial school for boys at Golden and the industrial school for girls at Morrison. After that the senators will arrange to visit the deaf and dumb school at Colorado Springs, the insane asylum at Pueblo, the state penitentiary, the reformatory at Buena Vista and the soldiers' home at Monte Vista. The committee will make an elaborate report to the Sixteenth General Assembly regarding the needs of the institutions. Members of the Legislature will be informed regarding the number of attendants, the cost, the equipment and also recommendations regarding improvements. WILL Preserve Mountain Sheep. Denver. — Inquiries are constantly being received by the state game commissioner asking when there will be an open season on mountain sheep. At present the question of an open season remains with the Legislature, and unless a special law is passed to that effect there will never be a time when these sheep can be killed with immunity in Colorado. There are perhaps two or three thousand mountain sheep in Colorado. They are multiplying somewhat rapidly, but it is the desire of the game department to keep the picturesque animals immune from the huntman's gun. Under the present law, which is rigidly enforced, a fine of $200 is imposed for killing a mountain sheep. Voliva Threatens Zion. Chicago.—Wilbur Glenn Voliva, successor to John Alexander Dowle as overseer of the Christian Catholic Church, declared at the conclusion of an exciting meeting at Zion City Sunday night, that unless he was recognized as general overseer of the church for life, he would abandon his following to their fate and reorganize the church. Voliva presented his new plans for the government of Zion. They contained a clause reading: "Zion is a theocracy. This means that God selects a leader who serves for life and that through him God selects his successor." Yale Football Receipts. New Haven, Conn.—Yale will receive about $22,000 as her share of the receipts of the Yale-Harvard game this year and probably $20,000 from the Yale-Princeton game. The receipts are somewhat less than last year, because Princeton's game was not in this city nor Yale's in Cambridge, in which instances the crowds are in the aggregate larger. Smaller games are expected to swell Yale's total receipts to about $60,000 for the season. WILL GIVE A nd Ball AT Hall, 1947 Stout St. Evening, Dec. 12th Admission 35 Cents. s. Wm. B.

These are the words of One-eyed Tillman, the pitchfork senator from South Carolina. If that is not anarchy in its most virulent form, then we don't understand the English language. And yet this man is a member of the highest law-making body of the nation and the exponent of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. This country is already fast losing respect for the law and why shouldn't it when ever our highest law-making members on a public platform utter such sentiments. If the nation loses respect for one part of the law, it will soon lose respect for all. One section is no more sacred than the other. The anarchists of Chicago were hung for such conduct and why a nasty, dirty, foul-mouthed, prejudiced red-neck from South Carolina should be given police escort and body protection to use such language in a city that already has its share of lawlessness is hard to see. The people are beginning to see who the Negro haters are and to love the Negro better for the enemies he has made. As was expected, the Tillman meeting in Chicago passed off without any trouble. Bitterly as the colored people feel toward Senator Tillman, they have too much respect for law and order for free speech and a fair hearing to cause any disturbance. We do not believe the elaborate precautions taken to protect the senator were at all necessary. A colored bomb-thrower has never yet been known and black mobs are a feature of civilization never yet recorded. The gentleman from South Carolina is quite safe in the North, and when he talks on a subject on which he is perfectly sane, all the North will be glad to hear his opinions, but on one subject his views must be judged charitably. It is characteristic of the senator's love of fair play, in some directions, that he opposed the President's action in the discharge of the colored companies, insisting that the men had been treated unfairly. To have the Afro-American agitation reinforced in this way by this great race fighter is a unique situation. If the energy Senator Tillman puts into his trust war and his race war could only be put into some compressed air dynamo and applied to the Panama canal project, there would be no further need of apparatus for lifting the soil in that quarter.—Denver Times. SENATOR TILLMAN KNOCKED. This is an age of ideas and agitation and knowing and contending for one's rights under the law and constitution. The time of giving way to passion and prejudice is past. Also to sit idly by and permit one's liberties and opportunities to be infringed upon or one good name or race to be traduced by vulgar and race hating demagogues is being met by stern opposition and alert manhood. The Negro has lately found a new and effective weapon. It is one of common sense and reason and has proven more effective than any that has yet been tried. Senator Tillman of South Carolina is much sought after as a public lecturer, not for what he says, but because he can draw a crowd and turn dollars into some exchequer. His reputation is established on his hatred and vituperation of the Negro. He was billed to lecture in Cleveland, Ohio, this week, but the reputable colored citizens of the lake city went to the authorities in the name of good order and the lecture engagement was broken. From Cleveland the virulent Tillman lectured in Chicago and now Chicago's manly mayor, who was to introduce the speaker and preside at the lecture, turned the erstwhile Tillman down. This action grew out of the manly stand taken by a committee of colored citizens headed by Rev. A. J. Carey, who called upon Mayor Dunne and asked that he use the police force, if necessary, to prevent the delivering of an address on the race question by Senator Tillman, on the ground that the address would be a menace to public safety. Mayor Dunne, after receiving the committee, wrote a letter to Mrs. Adele Keeler, secretary of the Chicago Union Hospital, for the benefit of which Senator Tillman was to speak, declining to act as chairman at the meeting. "I am a believer in the orderly processes of law, and can not agree with Senator Tillman in the views he holds, and therefore I must decline," he said, "to accept the chairmanship at the meeting." Thus the weapon of manly argument is proving far more effective in silencing blatant demagoguery than the sword. CARNEGIE'S AID TO THE WEST. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is helping the Negro of the West as well as the South to solve his own problem. The greatest obstacle to Negro advancement at present is a practical education. In order to further opportunities for better industrial educational facilities this prince of philanthropy has agreed to give $5,000 to the Topeka Industrial Institute on condition that friends of the school will raise a similar amount. This ought to encourage every lover of the race to become deeply interested in the movement to put this splendid work on a financial basis. The friends of the work have been pleased to see it grow from a school with one small building, half an acre of ground, situated in a crowded part of the city, to an institution with several buildings, 105 acres of fertile land, located three miles from the city in a beautiful, healthful spot. The present property is valued at $25,000, and is clear of encumbrance. The work of the institution is causing it to become widely known as the "Western Tuskegee." Booker Washington and the trustees of Tuskegee are much interested in this Western school. The work is patterned directly after that of the mother school, time being equally divided between classroom work and the teaching of trades. It is not a local school by any means, as they have students in attendance from the entire West. Colorado always contributes a large quota to the enrollment. Several young colored men and women of Denver who have graduated are profitably employed. This is a work that should not only meet unstinted praise, but our financial encouragement. Denver colored churches have made liberal offerings to the work and each individual member of the race ought to do something to assist Rev. Carter in this splendid work and secure Mr. Carnegie's gift for the West. There were a number of prominent Negro Republicans elected to office in Chicago on November 6th. Among them were the Honorable Ferd L. Barnett, Judge of the Municipal Court, Oscar DePriest, county commissioner, and Dr. Lane, member of the Legislature. The Windy City is just awakening to a realization of what it means to have—a Negro judge—and a howd of protest has been raised from two sources. First from the white people, when it was announced that Judge Barnett would not be assigned exclusively to the trial of cases involving persons of his own race. There is not to be a jim-crow court in Chicago, but Judge Barnett will take his share of the calendar the same as other judges. But the Negro is not pleased from the fact that Judge Barnett ran behind on the ticket. They claim that they have been voting white men into office for forty years and now to have white Republicans scratch their candidate does not square well with their loyalty to the party. There has been much talk among the leaders in Chicago of bolting the party and electing their own men to office in wards where they have controlling numbers which shows that the Negro is determined to strike back on at least to resent any insult offered. Their ultimatum to the party is: "If the Republican party expects to retain the Negro vote, they must learn to vote for a Negro as the Negro votes for them." In Milwaukee Lucian H. Palmer-colored, was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly over a prominent Democratic opponent. The district he will represent comprises the richest district in the state from the standpoint of the assessor's roll, it being the down-town district of the metropolis of the state in which many of the corporations and banks have their main offices. Mr. Palmer is the first colored man to be elected a member of the Assembly in the history of the state. He received the support of hundreds of loyal and staunch Democrats who disapproved of the manner in which colored men had been neglected by the Republican party in Milwaukee in the division of party honors. Since the above was in type we have learned with much sorrow that Judge Barnett has been counted out by the election commissioners and his Democratic opponent will receive his certificate of election. Roosevelt Criticised. New York, Nov. 29.—At a union Thanksgiving service in which the members of four Negro churches of this city participated to-day, President Roosevelt was denounced for his action in dismissing three companies of Negro soldiers from the United States army. At the conclusion of the service, which was held in the Mount Olii vett Baptist church, nearly every one present made a contribution to a fund which is being raised for the relief of the dismissed soldiers. The sermon of the day was preached by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's A. M. E. church. In the course of his address Mr. Brooks said: "It has been the pretense and contention of the South that the shiftless and ignorant Negro was the one she despised; but the real South appeared in her true colors when she took pains to run down, humiliate and otrage the most intelligent, thrifty and upright people of the community. This was scarcely over before the chief magistrate of the nation covered himself with eternal shame and disgrace by his unjust, unkind, undemocratic, un-American and czarocratic, cold, cruel, drastic and infamous orders against as brave, as heroic, as self-sacrificing a set of men as ever wore the blue or bore 'Old Glory' on a field of strife. "We will not be resentful nor revengeful, but we are bold enough to denounce the act as an outrage and aggressive enough to demand justice at the highest court of earth and before the bar of heaven. Let him of the 'square deal' deal square; him of the 'fair play' play fair; him of the 'door of opportunity' not shut it and bolt it forever in the face of black veterans. "Has the world's peacemaker lost his head and tired of his job, that he can ruthlessly mistreat a suffering, hysterical woman upon the one hand, and otrage a battalion of soldiers upon the other—soldiers to whose faithfulness he owes his life? If 'peaching' on comrades is such a soldierly virtue he should have a chair of peachment in West Point, Annapolis and especially at Harvard. "But in spite of all, we have reason to be thankful, for again we have disappointed the world, for the soldiers in disgrace have acted as brave men, not resentful children; thankful that the press of the country, with few exceptions, has condemned such drastic measures; that the conservative people, North and South, do not countenance such impulsive actions. "If a Republican Congress refuses to correct the wrongs thus inflicted, every black man in the South ought to pack up his belongings and move to a doubtful state and vote the whole thing out of existence. It is by the ballot and not by vengeance we shall win." Negro Servants Boycott Petitioners of Jim Crow Ordinance. Galveston, Tex., Nov. 17.—Nearly everybody in Galveston has thought for some time that the "jim crow" ordinance passed by the City Council last summer was accepted by the Negro population, and that's all there was to it. Such however seems not to be the case. There has been only one arrest for violation of the ordinance. A conviction resulted, and the guilty Negro announced that he would not appeal; that the case was not made as a test. It appears now though that there is some prospect of an attempted test. A petition is going the round among the Negroes, calling for a contribution to raise a fund to test the law. There have been a number of meetings, and more are scheduled. The worst phase of the situation is that in some of the Negro churches the opposition to the law has assumsd a form that tends to no good. Reputable men in the city say their cooks have stated that the names of all the signers to the petition for the jim crow ordinances are read in Negro churches every Sunday morning and the members of the congregation are exhorted not to work for them. Whether that report is true or not, the fact remains that there is at present more trouble in getting Negro service in the household than there has been in Galveston for many months. Not only the signers of the petition are without help, but the Negroes seem to have broadened the issue and made it apply to the white race generally. Some petition signers state that their Negro cooks have quite them without the semblance of an excuse or word of explanation. The fact that it is cotton picking season has no direct bearing on the scarcity of Negro help in Galvestion, because the Negroes here are not cotton pickers. It has been stated without contradiction for years, however, that an active cotton season has an indirect effect for that means a busy time on the wharf front. It is so common as to be almost the rule here that the women work in the summer time and feed the men over the back fence, while in the winter the tables are turned. The men get plenty of work and good wages on the wharves, and hen the women quit work and the men support them. Of course there are numerous exceptions to this rule, but there are enough instances of its truth to establish it. Added to the normal situation now is the Negro resentment of what is a poor substitute for a law separating the races on the street cars, the provision being that white passengers take the vacant seats nearest the front and colored passengers take the vacant seats nearest the rear. CANON CITY NOTES. CANON CITY NOTES. Mr. A. L. Rice, one of Canon City's well known and popular young men, royally entertained J. D. D. Rivers, wife and daughter Vlivian, at a finely appointed reception at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Townsend Saturday evening.

Fourteen New Jersey mayors have formed an organization to wage war in the interest of fair taxation, the chief object of attack being railroads, which are believed to have been escaping payment in scandalous fashion. "The New Jersey Mayors' Equal Taxation league," as it is called, held a meeting a few days ago at Mayor Fagan's office in Jersey City and effected permanent organization. The league is to carry on a campaign of education by means of public meetings throughout the state and by circulation of suitable literature. --- OPEN DAY AND NIGHT --- INES, BEER, ETC., A SPECIALTY.

J. Gilmore, as- sisted by John W.

The colored undertakers spend several hundred thousand dollars with the white casket manufacturers of this country and still weare not admitted to their conyen- tions. Through the tiresome efforts of Mr. Gilmore, he has succeeded in bring- ing the undertakers of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, California, Texas, Colorado and the Territories together in a convention to meot at Topeka, Kansas at the same time that the National Negro Business League meets next summer. Mr. Gil- more thinks that this meeting will be the greatest gathering of Negroes of any one profession. It will be only a question of a short time that the color- ed undertakers will be manufacturing their owm goods and sold by men of their own race which will result in cir- culating several thousand dollars with the race which has been spent with the white casket makers. There are over 250 colored undertakers doing bus- iness to-day and commanding a com- bined wealth of several millions of dollars. It Is time that Ne- groes of other professions should take the same steps inaugurated by Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Jones, Mr. Gilmore is quite an ‘interesting race man and should be congratulated by the colored people of Denver on the success he has had in the forming of this new organi- zation.

PLANS SPECIAL MESSAGE President and Mrs. Roosevelt Thoroughly Enjoyed the Trip—Was Deeply Impressed With United States Navy, Panama and Porto Rico. Washington.—Completing a remarkable trip to Panama, during which he traveled several thousand miles by sea and visited, not only the Isthmus, but Porto Rico as well, and voicing his thorough enjoyment of the entire voyage, President Roosevelt returned to Washington at 10:42 o'clock Monday night. The trip up the Potomac upon the converted yacht Mayflower, to which he and his party were transferred from the Louisiana at Piney Point Monday afternoon, was made without special incident. As the Mayflower pulled into the dock at the rear of the office of the commandant at the navy yard, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the president's daughter, and Miss Hagner, Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary, were awaiting to greet the party. Miss Roosevelt immediately rushed on board as soon as the gangplank was laid, and affectionately greeted her father and mother. There was also at the dock to welcome the President, Captain McCoy, U. S. A., and Lieutenant Commander Key of the marine corps, the president's aides, the commandant and other officials of the navy yard and the Uruguayan charge d'affaires. The president landed within ten minutes after the arrival of the Mayflower. To those who met him he stated that he had had a delightful trip and that he was feeling fine. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt immediately went to the White House, which they reached after 11 o'clock. As the President alighted from his carriage he shook hands with all the attaches and others waiting on the portico. Speaking of his trip the President said: "We had a very pleasant, very enjoyable time, and I am deeply impressed with the United States navy, with Panama and Porto Rico." The Panama canal, it was stated by the President, will be the subject of a special message, and consequently on that subject the President will say nothing at this time. SNOWSLIDE IN SAN JUAN Carries Away Buildings on Mountain Queen Property. Denver.—A Republican special from Telluride Monday says: Sunday afternoon a big snowslide ran into Mastodon gulch, and made a complete wreck of the Mountain Queen property, which is situated about four miles from Animas Forks and not far from the Gold Prince mine. The slide carried off the bunk house, blacksmith shop, boarding house, boiler house, engine and compressor buildings and machinery. The damage will reach $50,000. The new compressor had just been leveled up and had just been put in working order. The entire plant was carried half a mile down the gulch, and the marvelous part of the disaster is that not a man was hurt and all were comfortably quartered at Animas Forks last night. The Mountain Queen property is under the management of Fred V. Podfish, and extensive development has been done on it this season. It is one of the best mines in the San Juan country. At 9 p. m. there was exactly thirty-seven inches of new snow here and more falling. The Silverton Northern railroad has been blockaded between Eureka and Animas Fork for three days, but will be opened as soon as the storm breaks. PLUCKY CONDUCTOR. Captures Robber on Alton-Burlington Train. St. Louis.—Conductor Everett B. Heywood, who single handed overcame a train robber on the Alton-Burlington fast train, reached St. Louis Monday. He said that the man admitted to him that he had robbed the Rock Island passenger train at almost the same place November 7th. Conductor Heywood says that the robber snapped his revolver at him and that probably the only thing that saved his life was that the hammer descended on his thumb. Surrendering his revolver to the conductor, the robber made a break for liberty. Heywood followed closely, after firing one shot, and grabbed him by the coat collar as the robber was trying to jump from the car. The robber slipped from his coat, and clinging to the side rail of the car with one hand, Heywood fought him into submission on the steps of the swiftly-moving car. After he had been dragged into the vestibule again, the robber continued to fight desperately and Heywood says that he was compelled to pound him over the head with the captured revolver until he was senseless. Ald Colored People. New York.-The annual meeting of the Armstrong Association, which seeks to stimulate interest in the work of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes, and the general Industrial education of negroes, was held here Monday at the home of the president, William J. Schiefflein. Booker T. Washington, Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, Dr. Felix Adler and Principal H. B. Frizell of Hampton Institute made short addresses. The report of the executive committees showed that the membership is not far from a thousand and that a committee has been created for improving the industrial condition of the negroes in New York. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. An Earnest Plea Will Be Made for Its Liberal Support. Boulder.—Among the important matters of appropriation which will be presented to the Legislature in January, will be that of funds for the State University. When the Legislature doubled the mill-rate it was the general expectation that the measure would provide for the support ad growth of the University for several years, but this expectation has not been fulfilled. The university, according to the regents' report, which will be submitted to the Legislature, is in immediate need of money. At the time of the increase of the mill-rate everybody thought the state valuation of property for taxable purposes would advance materially from year to year, but instead it has remained nearly stationary in the face of a great development of the wealth of the state. The expected increase in revenue has been only in small part realized. Again, the growth of the university has passed all the expectations of the Legislature and of the regents. What a few years ago was thought to be provision for prospective enlargements, is now inadequate even for present necessities. The state has in its organic law pledged itself to provide through the State University, "a liberal education and thorough knowledge of the different branches of literature, the arts and sciences, with their varied applications." That this intent may be fulfilled, it is necessary that the university be given adequate funds. The student body of the University of Colorado represents every section of the state. Its influence upon the life and ideals of the entire commonwealth is thus made far-reaching. Through its work of investigation; through the ideals of culture and character which it places before the students; through the standards it maintains; through the practical demands it meets in fitting young men and women for service, it finds abundant justification for its existence. An excellent idea of the progress of the university is shown by the enrollment. In 1891-2 there were sixty-six students in the university proper, now there are 850 students, not counting the summer school and preparatory school. This increase, according to Mr. Merritt of the Boston Transcript, is the second largest in the United States. These facts are important, not only as indicative of the growth of the university, but as a means of showing the influence of the state's highest institution of learning upon the secondary and grade schools of the commonwealth. The experience of educators shows a higher standard of secondary schools with the rise of universities. More pronounced than ever before are the demands for college men and women in the high schools and even the grade schools as well. Broader sympathy and truer scholarship are now necessary for the teacher. It is not only in this one direction, but in those of general standards, requirements and curricula, that the university influences the lower schools, especially is this true of a state university. The state university is the people's university, maintained by them for their children. As a part of the educational system of the state it may well claim the same support and loyalty on the part of all citizens as all the other public schools demand. It is to be expected that the Sixteenth General Assembly will be as generous in its treatment of the state university as former Legislatures. The citizens of the state who are familiar with the work of the university—what it does for the young men and women of the state—appreciate that it needs generous support. No doubt the members of the Legislature do what ever is possible. Colorado demands the best of education for her sons and daughters. The regents of the university are furnishing such education now and will continue it in just as full measure as the funds placed at their disposal will permit. Woman Officials In Wyoming. Laramie, Wyo.—In the election in Albany county the people were quite generous in the matter of giving offices to women. Mrs. Emma Howell Knight was re-elected county superintendent of schools, receiving 1,367 votes to 782 for her Democratic opponent, also a woman. Mrs. M. A. Garrett was re-elected justice of the peace in Garrett precinct without opposition from the Democratic party, and Eva J. Bell was elected justice of the peace in Mountain Home precinct without opposition. Mrs. G. Burnett was defeated by G. H. Dressler in the Little Medicine precinct for justice, and Carrie Nation, who is not a resident of this state, received one vote for justice in the Keystone precinct. Mayor-elect. C. D. Spalding of this place has been asked to appoint a woman as city treasurer, the application having been formally filed. Union Label Suit in Denver. Denver.—The Supreme Court Monday granted a writ of supersedeas in favor of I. Rude, the tailor, who was fined $100 in the District Court and sentenced to ten days in jail for using a union label on non-union made goods. The case was appealed on the ground that it had gone over three terms in the District Court and also that the label used was not registered with the secretary of state. I. B. Melville, assistant attorney general, raised the point that Mr. Rude's attorney had acquiesced in passing the case over last term, holding that in 'so doing his rights had been waived. The court ruled that this was a debatable question and granted the supersedeas, fixing the bond at $250. estate Some Negroes. Washington. — President Roosevelt holds that he has the power to reinstate in the army any of the members of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth regiment of colored infantry who were discharged without honor as a result of trouble at Brownsville, Texas, some time ago, if the circumstances of any individual case justify such action. Whether he will answer himself of that power, according to the President, will depend on evidence presented to him in the case of any one or more soldiers which will tend clearly to exculpate them from any participation in the incident.

The VOGUE in WINTER MILLINERY FEATHERS AND ROSES FLOWERED SILK WITH FEATHERS ROSES AND RIBBON VELVET AND GRAPE THE FEATHER HAT Dame Fashion has decreed most anything and everything in the way of hats for the winter season. We may even have freak hats if we want them, and the New York milliners are showing many of these, but they are not selling, or, at least, they are not being worn by the really fashionable women. Absurd angles are not the most striking thing about the winter models as they were about the hats of last spring. The new hats sit more squarely upon the head; and if the hat does tilt gracefully to one side it is so built up with bandeau, cache peligne, etc., that it seems a part of the head and collure instead of being obviously an allen element stranded upon an incongruous resting place. There are small hats in evidence, but save in the case of the soldier cap turban and a few other models these small hats are conservative in their poise, if sometimes rather radical in their shapes. Many narrow turbans, usually draped, of beaver, felt, velvet or other soft material are among the street hats, and uncommonly smart effects are obtained in these shapes, but they are not rakishly tilted and often the trimming is divided evenly between the two sides of the turban so that the latter is flat upon the head. If the left side is raised from the head the elevation is but a slight one, and only in the back is the bandeau a radical one. Another type of small street hat which promises to be popular has a round, rather low crown and a nar- In all the best hats of the season handsome ribbons play a prominent part. The hats themselves—for the most part—are simple in shape and arranged with a careless looking Lamballe crown; all the charm and novelty of the hat depends on the quality and arrangement of the ribbon bows which so generously decorate it. The favorite combination of colors—at the moment—is pale pearl gray and gray- A A Simple Tailor-Made Gown. White cloth relieved by collar and cuff trimmingss of black velvet, and by stitched bands of the cloth, forms a simple but stylish walking gown for a winter day. blue ribbon. A lovely hat seen recently was a cloche in a very soft, pale shade of gray felt with an immensely full crown of mirror velvet in a darker shade and long lengths of gray-blue satin tribbon twisted into careless bows on and under the brim; the hat was raised considerably at the left side on a velvet bandeau, and the bows of soft ribbon were crushed together against the hair in a meet row stiff brim which turns up sharply at the left side. The hat also is raised slightly at the left side, and the trimming usually consists of wings, birds or plumes, often combined with ribbon or velvet. Both this shape and another with low curved crown and narrow brim turning up squarely at its outer edge, are represented among our sketches to-day, and one might readily multiply attractive models in these two shapes. The paradise plumes and other plumes of the same general character, which are features of our two models, are gaining more and more favor as the season advances, and are formidable rivals of the ostrich plumes, though, of course, they cannot take the place of the ostrich feathers where a massed effect is desired. Especially in yellow and in a vivid green the paradise plumes have appealed to the Parisian milliners and this waving touch of brilliant color heightens many a somber hat. The ostrich feathers of the season are even more wonderful than those of yesteryear. The dyers have become pastmasters in the art of shading these feathers, and the most exquisite of color effects are obtained in one feather. The grays in particular lend themselves to beautiful color harmonies, and as gray is one of the leading colors, if not the learing color, this season, the manufacturers have turned out a wealth of plumes in one tone gray, shaded grays, and gray blended subtly with other tones. ELLEN OSMONDE engaging manner. There were some very handsome hat-pins in filigree silver and baroque pearls, but otherwise there was no trimming on the hat except the beautiful ribbon. All last season we were wearing masses of ostrich feathers on afternoon hats, but the feathers of the summer were as nothing to those of the coming winter! On hats for ceremonious occasions the big milliners think nothing of arranging from six to eight large feathers and certainly the effect is very striking if—in some cases—slightly reminiscent of the hearse of days gone by! More than ever is the exquisite light marabout feather in favor; in certain shades of gray it is delicious and also in the more subtle shades of the popular nut-brown. Black marabout feathers do not at all please me, but for afternoon concerts or receptions a cream felt hat literally loaded with marabout is a very satisfactory sight. I must not forget to mention the high buttoned boots of dark-hued suede leather which are just now so fashionable. In navy, bottle-green, nut brown, and smoke gray these boots are quite charming—worn, of course, with dresses of exactly the same shade. In all cases the soles and heels are black, not brown. An Electric Test. The officials of New York are very severe on "fake" beggars and bogus cripples. If a deaf and dumb stranger is found begging or soliciting alms there he is put to the following test to prove that he is really in need of aid and unable to help himself. A powerful electric battery has been provided at each of the several hospitals, and when a "mute" is found asking for aid he is taken to the hospital and the "juice" is turned on. If the victim goes the limit without "hollering" he is turned loose and permitted to continue his business of living without working. During one week five "fake" mutes were discovered through the use of the electric battery. I read in the paper the other day that men of fashion are wearing invisible nets now, to keep the crimped waves of their hair in perfect order. Can you believe this?-Truth.
