PRESIDENT'S Message as it Deals with the Lynching Evil. Justice and Fair Play to all Advocated. In connection with the delays of the law, I call your attention and the attention of the nation to the prevalence of crime among us, and, above all, to the epidemic of lynching and mob violence that springs up, now in one part of our country, now in another. Each section, North, South, East or West, has its own faults; no section can with wisdom spend its time jeering at the faults of another section; it should be busy trying to amend its own shortcomings. To deal with the crime of corruption it is necessary to have an awakened public conscience, and to supplement this by whatever legislation will add speed and certainty in the execution of the law. When we deal with lynching even more is necessary. A great many white men are lynched, but the crime is peculiarly frequent in respect to black men. The greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape—the most abominable in all the category of crimes, even worse than murder. Mobs frequently avenge the commission of this crime by themselves torturing to death the man committing it; thus avenging in bestial fashion a bestial deed, and reducing themselves to a level with the criminal. Lawlessness grows by what it feeds upon; and when mobs begin to lynch for rape they speedily extend the sphere of their operations and lynch for many other kinds of crimes, so that two-thirds of the lynchings are not for rape at all; while a considerable proportion of the individuals lynched are innocent of all crime. Governor Candler of Georgia stated on one occasion, some years ago: "I can say of a verity that I have, within the last month, saved the lives of half a dozen innocent negroes who were pursued by the mob, and brought them to trial in a court of law in which they were acquitted." As Bishop Galloway of Mississippi has finely said: "When the rule of a mob obtains that which lynches a Negro charged with rape will in a little while lynch a white man suspected of crime.

Governor enas follows: "The lynching of any people anywhere—it is a defiance of orderly recent people under any provocation is infrequent people are likely to die when a more lesson is this: No good citizen can attributes, no matter what the provocation, that it is my observation, more people of the time on the ground that even the better elephants ferreting out criminals of their own country learn not to harbor their criminals to them to justice. This is the larger crimes as the one at Atlanta. The two rains understanding on the part of both to mug against criminals of any color."

The two races can never g port of both to make common ca- y, color." a member of one race is aveng- individual criminal, but the whe ica needs to lift up his voice in loud and eternal protest against the mob spirit that is threatening the integrity of this republic." Governor Jelks of Alabama has recently spoken as follows: "The lynching of any person for whatever crime is inexcusable anywhere—it is a defiance of orderly government; but the killing of innocent people under any provocation is infinitely more horrible; and yet innocent people are likely to die when a mob's terrible lust is once aroused. The lesson is this: No good citizen can afford to countenance a defiance of the statutes, no matter what the provocation. The innocent frequently suffer, and, it is my observation, more people of the South indict the whole colored race on the ground that even the better elements lend no assistance whatever in ferring out criminals of their own color. The respectable colored people must learn not to harbor their criminals, but to assist the officers in bringing them to justice. This is the larger crime, and it provokes such atrocious offenses as the one at Atlanta. The two races can never get on until there is an understanding on the part of both to make common cause with the law-abiding against criminals of any color." Moreover, where any crime committed by a member of one race is avenged in such fashion that it seems as if not the individual criminal, but the whole race, is attached, the result is to exasperate to the highest degree race feeling. There is but one safe rule in dealing with black men as with white men; it is the same rule that must be applied in dealing with rich men and poor men; that is, to treat each man, whatever his color, his creed, or his social position, with even-handed justice on his real worth as a man. White people owe it quite as much to themselves as to the colored race to treat well the colored man who shows by his life that he deserves such treatment; for it is surely the highest wisdom to encourage in the colored race all those individuals who are honest, industrious, law-abiding, and who, therefore, make good and safe neighbors and citizens. Reward or punish the individual on his merits as an individual. Evil will surely come in the end to both races if we substitute for this just rule the habit of treating all the members of the race, good and bad, alike. There is no question of "social equality" or "Negro domination" involved; only the question of relentlessly punishing bad men, and of securing the good man the right to his life, his liberty and the pursuit of his happiness as his own qualities of heart, head and hand enable him to achieve it. Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the Negro criminal, and above all the Negro criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense against the whole country, and against the colored race in particular, for a colored man to fail to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all possible earnestness and zeal every such infamous offender. Moreover, in my judgment, the crime of rape should always be punished with death, as in the case with murder; assault with intent to commit rape should be made a capital crime, at least in the discretion of the court; and provision should be made by which the punishment may follow immediately upon the heels of the offense; while VOL. XIII. the trial should be so conducted that the victim need not be wantonly shamed while giving testimony, and that the least possible publicity shall be given to the details. The members of the white race, on the other hand, should understand that every lynching represents by just so much a loosening of the bands of civilization; that the spirit of lynching inevitably throws into prominence in the community all the foul and evil creatures who dwell therein. No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own moral nature permanently lowered. Every lynching means just so much moral deterioration in all the children who have any knowledge of it, and, therefore, just as much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. Let justice be both sure and swift; but let it be justice under the law, and not the wild and crooked savagery of a mob. There is another matter which has a direct bearing upon this matter of lynching and of the brutal crime which sometimes calls it forth and at other times merely furnishes the excuse for its existence. It it out of the question for our people as a whole permanently to rise by treading down any of their own number. Even those who themselves for the moment profit by such maltreatment of their fellows, will in the long run also suffer. No more short-sighted policy can be imagined than in the fancied interest of one class, to prevent the education of another class. The free public school, the chance for each boy or girl to get a good elementary education, lies at the foundation of our whole political situation. In every community the poorest citizens, those who need the schools most, would be deprived of them if they only received school facilities proportioned to the taxes they paid. This is as true of one portion of our country as of another. It it as true for the Negro as for the white man. The white man, if he is wise, will decline to allow the Negroes in a mass to grow to manhood and womanhood without education. Unquestionably education such as is obtained in our public schools does not do everything toward making a man a good citizen, but it does much. The lowest and most brutal criminals, those, for instance, who commit the crime of rape, are in the great majority men who have had either no education or very little; just as they are almost invariably men who own no property; for the man who puts money by out of his earnings, like the man who acquires education, is usually lifted above mere brutal criminality. Of course, the best type of education for the colored man, taken as a whole, is such education as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tuskegee, where the boys and girls, the young men and young women, are trained industrially as well as in the ordinary public school branches. The graduates of these schools turn out well in the great majority of cases, and hardly any of them become criminals, while what little criminality there is never taken the form of that brutal violence which invites lynch law. Every graduate of these schools—and for the matter of that every other colored man or woman—who leads a life so useful and honorable as to win the good will and respect of those whites whose neighbor he or she is, thereby helps the whole colored race as it can be helped in no other way; for next to the Negro himself, the man who can do most to help the Negro is his white neighbor who lives near him; and our steady effort should be to better the relations between the two. Great though the benefit of these schools has been to their colored pupils and to the colored people, it may well be questioned whether the benefit has not been at least as great to the white people among whom these colored pupils live after they graduate. Be it remembered, furthermore, that the individuals who, whether from folly, from evil temper, from greed for office, or in a spirit of mere base demagogy, indulge in the inflammatory and incendiary speeches and writings which tend to arouse mobs and to bring about lynching, not only thus incite the mob, but also tend by what criminologists call "suggestion," greatly to increase the likelihood of a repetition of the very crime against which they are inveighing. When the mob is composed of the people of one race and the man lynched is of another race, the men who in their speeches and writings either excite or justify the action tend, of course, to excite a bitter race feeling and to cause the people of the opposite race to lose sight of the abominable act of the criminal himself; and in addition, by the prominence they give to the hideous deed they undoubtedly tend to excite in other brutal and depraved natures thoughts of committing it. Swift, relentless, and orderly punishment under the law is the only way by which criminality of this type can permanently be suppressed. TILLMAN ANSWERED TILLMAN ANSWERED By Attorney W. B. Townsend of Pueblo, Colorado. Senator Ben Tillman has again disgraced the senate of the United States by his unwarranted abuse of the Negro race, which is composed of citizens of this country who are entitled to the same consideration before the law as any other citizens. When Senator Tillman was elected to the senate of the United States he certainly took the usual oath of office, namely; to support the constitution of the United States and the laws made in pursuance thereof. But when the senator repeatedly declares that in South Carolina we shoot the Negroes, that we lynch them, that we used the tissue ballots to cheat them out of their vote till we revised our constitution so as to disfranchise the Negroes, does he not confess that he and his constituency of high crimes against this government, for which he should not only be expelled from the senate, but should be placed on trial for vio- lating the constitution and the law? But Tillman is not only unmindful of his oath of office. He said recently in a speech at Chicago: "To hell with the laws of this country." Of course such a man may be expected to be blind in one eye, or both, to the rights of ten million human beings whom he hates with a relentless hatred, for no other reason except they are black and were once the property of white men of the South, and have been liberated and given the right to vote. Senator Tillman inveighs against the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution because it gives Negroes the same rights of elective franchise as white people exercise. I wish I had the time and space to discuss the origin and necessity and benefits of the Fifteenth amendment to all other classes of citizens as well as to the Negro citizens. But suffice it to say to Senator Tillman that the repeal of the Fifteeth amendment is the last thing the American people will stand for, not because they are so radically different in their views concerning the Negro from those of Senator Tillman, but because included in that amendment is a prohibition which precludes Senator Tillman and those who think as he does from interfering with white men's right to vote. Should the future bring with it the historic "Know-nothing-ism" and "A. P. A.-ism" and other fool-isms, white men would feel the need of the amendment to protect their rights. Take the amendment as it stands. it is a good law for the white man and good for the Negro man; it is good law for the Italian-American, the German-American and the Scandinavian-American, and for all other and diverse and varied peoples who "home" under our flag. The amendment protects all races and prohibits any state from denying any person from voting on account of his race, so that it can be seen that to repeal that amendment to get rid of the Negroe's right to vote, then a foreigner may not be allowed to vote on account of his race. The sufficiency of reasons for depriving a certain class of people of their right must give way to the inherent genius and spirit of American ideals, however difficult of consummation they may be and the entire people must not be placed in danger, however remote merely to satisfy the sentimental pride of a portion of the people. If there was any blunder in the enactment of the Fifteenth amendment, it lies rather in the fact that no provision was made to improve the newly enfranchised Negroes for citizenship at the time it was enacted. But I dare say that the Negroes are as well qualified and prepared as are the average immigrant who comes to this country who knows nothing of the genius of our government, knows nothing of our laws and less of our language, habits and customs. Yet there is not objection to them voting because the Fifteenth amendment allows and protests them in voting. Senator Tillman says in his complaint that the race has done nothing. Does he not know that the Negro race was born forty years ago. It was then homeless, friendless, peniless, without even a name. Since that time it owns fifteen million dollars' worth of school property, fifty million dollars worth of church property, 140,000 homes and farms valued at $19,000,000, and personal property to the amount of $170,000; that the race pays taxes on $3,000,000 worth of property; that the illiteracy of the race has been reduced to 45 percent; that it has a great many inventors; that there are 600 newspapers and periodicals owned by Negroes; that the man who took the prize in France as a sculptor is an American Negro; that the race has produced great educators. NO. 11. musicians, orators and playwriters 300 lawyers and 500 actors. Two Negroes have filled the high position of United States senator and many have been members of congress. Does Senator Tillman remember Hon. R. Brown Elliott, a Negro who represented South Carolina in congress and who was at one time attorney general of that state? Perhaps he does, and is fearful that his state will be again represented in congress by men who have brains and a sense of fairness. If the senator would differentiate between the good Negres and the bad ones, the race would have less cause to censure him, for it must be known to him that there are Negroes and Negroes, just as there are white men and white men. The senator should know that a majority of the Negroes are industrious, law abiding, frugal and intelligent citizens who would protect the honor and integrity of this country with their lives as they have often done, and who would protect the property, homes and the virtue of their own women. Social equity is a nightmare that haunts the senator, I know. I can say that not many Negroes are lying awake at night studying about social equity. A majority of the race do not want social equity. That is not our contention. Our contention is equity before the law, that we may be allowed to live, to provide for and educate and protect our families. Social equity is a matter of fitness and congeniality and the race wants no law on books that will attempt to regulate it. It has nothing to do with equal justice. Social equity comes by perferment by invitation. Such a thing cannot possibly exist in any society, for as long as men and women differ in tastes, just so long will each chose the company most genial to him or her. Each person must make himself or herself, his or her social circle. The border of social equity has been stretched to cover almost every relation of life and to thwart the purpose of justice. Can it be said that it is social equity coach, walk the same streets, vote at the same polling place, look at the same pictures, listen to the same music, breathe of the air, shiver in the same cold, warm in the same sun, love the same country and defend the same flag? If, as the senator says, the Negroes are low and unworthy of citizenship, is it not time that Tillman should be doing something to improve the Negroes in that particular instead of trying further to debase them? Should he not be trying to fit the Negroes for the responsibilities of citizenship? It is quite time that Tillman and his constituency were recognizing the obligation that rests upon them, which is to take the lead Continued to fourth page.

No Free Lunch in St. Paul. President Huber of the St. Paul board of aldermen has succeeded in having an ordinance passed abolishing free lunch in saloons. He is a aliquor dealer himself, but years ago abandoned the free lunch as too ex- pensive. One member of the board, in advocating the ordinance, said: "The can-rushers eat too much, Mr. President." Other members urged that if saloon keepers found the free lunch to be more than they could stand they could give it up; but the board voted 7 to 4 in favor. The ordinance has been before the board since last spring. L. Rushenberg & Co Importers and Jobbers in MUSICAL MERCHANDISE.

GOLD, SILVER AND PAPER Good, Healthy Surplus — Large Increase in Receipts—No Silver Dollars Coined—Large Demand for Silver for Subsidiary Coinage. Washington.—The secretary of the treasury reports the revenues from all sources for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, as $762,386,904.62 and the expenditures as $736,717,582.01, leaving a surplus of $25,669,322.61. The increase in receipts over the previous fiscal year was $65,285,634.67, and in expenditures $16,612,083.46. The revenues of the current fiscal year are estimated at $813,573,264 and the expenditures at $755,573,264. There was an increase of $186,866, 727 in the monetary stock of the country during the last fiscal year. The growth in gold was $118,050,777; in silver $5,450,396, and in national bank notes $65,392,554, while treasury notes declined $2,027,000. The money in circulation July 1, 1906, amounted to $2,736,646,628, a per capita circulation of $32.32. By October 1st the total circulation had increased to $2,812,133,694, or $33.08 per capital, 43.6 per cent. of this amount being gold. The treasury holdings of gold at the close of the last fiscal year was $807, 651,690.30. By October 15th this in- creased to $871,893,899.77, the largest amount of the precious metal ever held in the treasury. The latest returns of national banks shows that September 4, 1906, there were in operation 6,137 associations with paid-in capital stock of $835,066, 796, and surplus and other profits of $670,140,981. The surplus proper was $490,245,124, which is nearly three times the amount required to be accumulated and maintained under the law. The surplus and "other undivided profits" amount to over eighty per cent. of the paid-in capital. Of the total liabilities of the banks namely, $8,016,021,066, over one-half or $4,199,338,310, is represented by individual deposits. The deposits to the credit of banks amounted to $1,589,011,462, and to the credit of the United States and disbursing officers of the government. $107,831,814. Since August 25, 1905, the date of approximately corresponding returns there is shown to have been an increase of 380 in number of reporting banks, $35,196,567 in capital stock and $50,521,024 in surplus and undivided profits. There was an increase of $379,256,597 in individual deposits and $45,741,514 in government deposits. The amount to the credit of other banks decreased $35,876,120. The deposits on which reserve was required amounted to $4,927,865,452, on which a reserve of 20.70 per cent, was held on September 4, 1906. The domestic coinage of the mints during the fiscal year amounted to 167,371,035 pieces, of the value of $60,216,747.90. Of this, $53,022,097.50 was gold coin, $4,016,368.10 was subsidiary silver coin, and $3,198,282.30 was minor coin. No silver dollars were coined, all bullion purchased for that purpose being exhausted. The mint at Philadelphia also coined 1,000,000 tenpeso pieces and 3,000,000 five-peso pieces, of the value in United States money of $12,461,240.32, for the Mexican government; 700,000 fractional silver pieces for the government of Costa Rica; 1,000,000 half-balboa pieces for the government of Panama, and 1,557,629 pesos and 3,765 pieces in fractional silver coins for the government of the Philippine islands. The new mint at Denver has been in operation since February 1, 1906. The demands on all the mints are growing every year with the enlargement of the gold supply and the rapidly increasing need for the subsidiary silver and minor coins. There are indications that the cessation of coinage of the silver dollar will cause an enlarged use of the half dollar. On the basis of the coinage of the last five years, approximately 5,000,000 ounces of silver will be required annually for subsidiary coinage, and with the growth of population and business this amount will be exceeded. The report concludes by renewing former recommendations for a law giving trust companies power to incorporate under national supervision; establishment of a department of saving banks in Washington and legislation which will build up our merchant marine. DENVER POSTOFFICE. Lively Contest at Washington. Over the Site. Washington.—J. Knox Taylor, supervising architect, is receiving a large number of letters and telegrams from Denver business firms and individuals expressing opinions concerning the selection of a site for the proposed new postoffice or federal building. A large majority of Taylor's correspondents who are in favor of selection of a site on Eighteenth street have expressed a preference for the Arapahoe to Curtis street site, while a majority of those favoring Seventeenth street ask for the selection of what is known as the Flower site, at Broadway and Seventeenth. Congressman-elect Cook, who is giving the public building matter his active attention, has requested Mr. Taylor to defer a selection until all interests in Denver shall have had time to be fully heard, and Mr. Taylor will not file his report and recommendation with Secretary Shaw for several days, meanwhile giving the various requests received from Denver his consideration in connection with his decision. Thomas Harrison, who has offered a site a Broadway and Nineteenth, is here in behalf of the sale of this property. LIKE A FAIRY TALE. The Story of Postum Cereal in Words and Pictures. The growth of the Postum Cereal Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true, every word of it. "The Door Unbolted" is the title of a charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started Jan. 1, 1895, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the "White City" that comprises Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a most interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greatest manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that has grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting is the quaint official home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at Stratford-on-Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sums of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. That Mr. Post has believed thoroughly in the idea of giving to his employees attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company and its furnishings, but by his factories as well, and of all of these things this beautiful little booklet tells the interesting story. It will be sent to anyone on request. HIS TROUBLE WAS INTERNAL. Indian Chief Had Peculiar Ideas About Hydrophobia. Mayor Stoy of Atlantic City was describing the cosmopolitan throngs that visit his famous and gay resort. "Every nationality comes here," he said. "Greeks, Turks, Hindoos, Chinese, Moors—they all come. "I was talking the other day to one of the physicians of the Pasteur Institute—the hospital, you know, for the prevention and cure of hydrophobia. The Pasteur Institute reminded me of Atlantic City, its visitors seemed to be of such a diversified character. "The physician told me about an Indian chief who had come to him for treatment last year. "My name,' said the chief, 'is War Eagle. Please take me in hand. I fear I am getting hydrophobia." "Have you been bitten, the physician asked, 'by a mad dog?' "Not exactly bitten," War Eagle answered, 'but I have the gravest suspicions about a black poodle that was served to me in a ragout last Friday afternoon.' TEN YEARS OF PAIN. Unable to Do Even Housework Because of Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton street, Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared be- teen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Wife Desertion Alarms. So many Cincinnati wives have been deserted by their husbands of late that the city council has taken steps toward putting a check on such runaways. It has been found that mortgage loan sharks are contributing factors in a great many cases. A man's ability to mortgage his furniture without the knowledge of his wife is a strong temptation to husbands of weak will. An ordinance has been introduced making such mortgage of no avail unless they bear the signature of both husband and wife. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work.

Suggests National Drainage and Declares for Good Roads. Oklahoma City.—Temporary organization of the National Drainage conference was made Wednesday afternoon by the election of George E. Barstow of Barstow, Texas, as temporary president and J. B. Thoburn of Oklahoma City, temporary secretary. Mr. Barstow was the principal speaker at the night session. His subject was: "National Irrigation a Fixed Quantity—Why Not National Drainage?" He spoke first on the economy of irrigation, stating that he was much given to pouring ten buckets of water on the garden where one would suffice. He spoke of the fear that existed some years ago, when the government started in to reclaim 50,000,000 acres of arid lands, that it wound cheapen the lands in the more humid regions. "But," said Mr. Barstow, "notwithstanding the fact that about 10,000,000 acres of the arid lands are now in use, having been brought up to their efficient position either by the government or private enterprise, this land surfeit has not been apparent. No more lands are being created, but babies are being born every hour, and 1,200,000 persons come here from foreign shores every year." Mr. Barstow said that the national Congress should make reclamation by drainage a part of the reclamation act, instead of reclamation by irrigation alone. It was in these problems alone, he said, that public safety lies—the creation of a great problem for the occupation of the minds of the people bent on a great growth. Kirk M. Treat of the Chicago Commercial Association stated that good roads would save a billion dollars a year for the United States. Other speakers concurred with Mr. Treat and impressed upon delegates the necessity of establishing a system of roads in Oklahoma at once. Col. W. H. Moore, the president, denounced the custom of utilizing the labor of criminals in manufacture of articles which enter the market in competition with free labor. He favored convict labor on roads and public work. Miss Alice Robertson, postmaster of Muskogee, attributed the large amount of insanity among women of rural districts to loneliness and isolation caused by lack of communication from impassable roads. MECHANICAL BIRD. Exhibition of Successful Flying Machine Model. New York.—On the roof of the Grand Central Palace a successful demonstration of a flapping wing machine was made Wednesday. Henry Rodenbach has on display in the aeronautical annex of the Automobile club show a model of a contrivance on which his father spent many hours of careful thought and study during the last years of his life. To show a small gathering of interested aeronauts what the machine is capable of, he mounted a tower at one corner of the roof and liberated his giant inanimate bird. Colorado. With slow, graceful sweeps the machine slowly descended to the root twenty feet below, showing sustaining power against the high wind and maintaining a poise that made it evident the elder Rodenbach had solved one of the problems of aerial flight. The Rodenbach exhibit may be termed a great mechanical bird, fashioned as it is on the principles of nature as found in the wings of an eagle. A beak-shaped arrangement cleaves the air, while a tail-like rudder is supplied to control the direction of the flight. Under the gigantic wings are numerous cloth pockets of varying sizes which open in the flight and increase the illusion that the machine is animale. Colorado Mr. Rodenbach declares that a more substantial model, fitted with a light, powerful motor to work the wings, may be built on this principle and will carry a man of average weight through the air in any direction and at any speed he may desire. Among those who viewed the experiment were Octave Chanute, Professor Pickering, J. C. Lake, Israel Ludlow, Augustus Post, Alan R. Hawley and Dr. Julian P. Thomas. They pronounced the experiment a success. An aeroplane that will not capsize in the air is what Maj. C. J. S. Miller claims to have invented. He has made application for patents and expects to have everything in readiness for a series of trials here in the spring. A number of the leading aeronauts of the country will be invited to be present. Miller's aeroplane is similar to that of Wright brothers, though the difficulty which they had in their machine capsizing, Major Miller claims to have overcome. His device in this respect serves as a parachute, thus preventing any sudden descent. Where Women Will Rule. Fort Worth, Texas.—An Adamless Eden in Texas is the dream of Mary F. Hayden, the Chicago novelist, who is arranging to establish a colony of 1,000 women in Refugio county, Texas. She has acquired title to 5,000 acres and is at work on the plans for her colony. Woman colonists may have husbands if that condition cannot be avoided, but the males must be a mere notch on a stick so far as the affairs of the colony are concerned. The founder will endeavor to procure from the Texas Legislature permission for women to exercise the right of suffrage in her colony, and all homes must be in the name of the wife. Miss Hayden was an intimate friend of the late Frances E. Willard. Rockefeller Subpoenaed. St. Louis.—John D. Rockefeller has been personally served with a subpoenae to appear and testify at the hearing in St. Louis to dissolve the Standard Oil Company. The subpoenae was served on him at his home in New York. Henry H. Rogers, William Rockefeller, John A. Archbold, Henry M. Flagler, Charles M. Pratt and Oliver M. Payne of New York have also been personally served with subpoenaes. All of these services were obtained by United States Marshal William Henkel of New York, who sent the papers to the United States Circuit Court here.

PRESIDENT’S TROUBLES BEGIN. 4 With the discharge of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry of colored soldiers President Roogeyeit’s troubles have begun. ‘Two weeks ago one of our editorials referred to the San Francisco exclu- sion of Japanese children from the publie schools and the demand made by the Mikado for their re-instatement in accordance with treaty agreements. Now comes the contention. The President wants to set- ‘the matter himself, while the people of California want a hand in ‘the adjustment. The old doctrine of state rights is transfered from Dixie to the Golden Gate and from the Negro to the Japanese. Pres- ident Roosevelt rebuked Congressman Hayes of California for pre- paring a measure in Congress, the introduction of which would anger Japan and further inflame Californians against the Japanese. ‘The President urged Hayes to withdraw his bill and let the government and the California authorities settle the school question without aid of Congress. Hayes predicts war with Japan over the matter. Many of the Senate chamber are said to be in sympathy with Senator Flint of California in insisting that the President keep out of the school dis- pute, leaving it to be settled by the people of California, Southern senators are said to fear that the President’s action means the ulti- mate abandonment of the separate school system in the South. Here stands the question on which this nation is going to pieces yet. As we said before the federal government must be larger and greater than any separate state or segment of the nation, and each state must sub- mit to the government of the whole, or our nation will disintegrate, become fragmentary and break of its own independence and weight. We are sorry that the President’s troubles have begun, but since he has put his foot into it let him pull out. He would not change his mind on the discharge of the Negro soldiers, now let him, in order to be consistent, hold to his course on the Japanese publie school ques- tion. It will at least have the tendency to open the question of state and national rights, and through this the Negro must be benefited. eee JOS. D. D. RIVERS........Proprietor §, H.

First, in the Japanese exclusion from the publie schools of San Francisco, this question also involves the exclusion of colored children in matty states. Second, last Monday’s Post editorial was entirely devoted to the consideration of the problem of treatment accorded to the darker race, who are termed inferiors. Third, Governor McDonald has come out square on the question of fair and impartial trial for a colored man before turning him over to Mississippi authorities. Fourth, the Penrose and Foraker resolutions in Congress, demand- ing an investigation of the President's order in dismissing a battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Each of these questions involves the rights of the Negro and should be carefully read by every colored man and woman in Denver. The Colorado Statesman can only give a digest of these questions, but we recommend our readers to a careful study of each one of them and the duty that involves upon every member of the race to be worthy of the friends who are fighting our cause in the forums of the Legislature and press. PROMISES TO PROTECT. George Jenkins, in custody at Pueblo, will be extradicted to Mis- sissippi to answer for the murder of a planter in that state. Governor Vardaman of Mississippi Wednesday morning telegraphed rather curtly to Governor McDonald, in answer to the Colorado exeeutive’s message asking if the colored man would be protected and given a fair trial if the requisition was honored. Governor McDonald had asked for the protection of Jenkins before surrendering him, not desiring him to be taken to Mississippi and lynched, as represented by Jenkits’ Pueblo friends, or to be turned over to a mob, as is the usual custom in the South. Governor McDonald thus placed the southern governor on his honor to give the accused the benefit of a fair trial. "This act on the part of Colorado’s executive gives the requisition of Jenkins a national character and establishes a new precedent among executives of the United States and opens the way for fairer and im- partial treatment of colored men accused of erime. All honor to the little Scotchman who sits in the Colorado executive chair. It shows the South that injustice to colored people is not to be tolerated in the future as it has been in the past. Jenkins, age thirty-five, is accused of the murder of a white planter at Tunica, Miss., three years ago. ‘The two men had trouble over the rental of land. fe ene Y THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. The world has waited to hear and it has heard and has something worth while to think about. Not only Republicans but Democrats, and all shades of political belief, have sound political advice in Roose- velt’s annual message to Congress. Not only capitalists but labor unions have mental and moral and industrial food to digest. Not only legislatures and manufacturers but common people and farmers have something to think about. Not only railroad and shipping companies but family and social leaders have words of caution and advice in the President’s clear and terse manner of spelling and expression. Not only the Caucasian but the Negro and Japanese and foreigners have consid- eration by America’s chief magistrate. Not only the army and navy, but industrial schools and education in general have a message. Not only treaties and foreign relations, but lynching and injustice at home are duly handled. In fact, it was a great message from a great man to a great people on great and vital subjects, and is worthy of perusal to the end. Both Democrats and Republicans applauded it. The world will analyze it for it is a national document. It is a state address worthy of national and international interpretation. The Colorado Statesman will not at this time attempt to digest it but calls upon every thinking man and woman to read it carefully, repeatedly and thougit- fully. To diseuss it. You eannot help being uplifted by it and brought into sympathy with the vastness of American interests and the large- ness of the subjects that an American president has to deal wito. President Roosevelt seems equal to the occasion. We are a growing and expanding nation, full of prosperity and suecess and need to be careful lest’our wealth be our downfall. ‘s: WILL THE PRESIDENT BE SUSTAINED? The discharge of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry is to be made a subject of congressional inquiry, Hardly had the Senate assembled when Senator Penrose pre- sented a resolution demanding immediate consideration of this subject. Vice President Fairbanks had the resolution read and deferred unti! the reading of the President’s annual message. The resolution is us follows: ‘Resolved, That the President is requested to communicate to the Senate, if not incompatible with the public interests, full information bearing upon the recent order dismissing from the military service of the United States three companies of the Twenty-fifth regiment infan- try, United States troops, colored.’” Senator Foraker of Ohio followed with a substitute. It was ad- dressed to the secretary of war, directing that the Senate be furnished copies of letters, telegrams, reports and orders filed with the war 4. partment in connection with the discharge of the colored troops. Sena- tor Foraker explained the purpose of his resolution as follows: “T have no purpose of raising the race question. The question in- volyed is broader. It concerns white as well as colored soldiers. It is 4 question of constitutional power on the one hand and constitutiona’ and statutory rights on the other. Until we have a complete record I do not know just what questions will arise, but we may have to con- sider whether a man can be convicted of felony by order and whether following such a conviction sentence may be imposed and punishment inflicted by order.’’ The colored people of the United States will await the result of this inguiry, believing that in the end full justice will be done the race and the fighting heroes of this famous army corps. “a THE POST’S EDITORIAL. . Last Monday’s Post editorial on the Negro question was sane and logical. The question of equal privliges in a republic is sound. It eu: ony ve denied on the basis of selfishness, never on justice. If the white people are a superior race, as they assert, why should they then Continued from first page. and guide the inferior race away from the domain of ignorance, vice and crime Is it not time that Tillman ceas- ed to appeal to the baser passions and prejudices of the people of this country by his untruthful and inflammatory vaporings in the sen- ate and upon the rostrum, and on every occasion that offers itself to him to degrade the Negro race? Every now and then Tillman has adream, in which he sces the whole South becoming a race of mulattoes. Icannot believe his dream unless I concur with him in the! low estimate he places upon the virtue and morals of the white people of the South, Thenfagain, if the prophecy. of Senator Tillman is coming to pass and the people of the South are to become a race of mulattoes, whose fault will it be, the Negrovs, or the whites? Letno s4ne person be troubled cbout the prophecies of the erratic statesman, Tillman, you know, comes from South Carolina, a state where the people feed on hog and hominy which furnish the raw material from which their brains are made. ‘Tillman represents a state where awhite man cannot have a fair chunce to defend his life, He re presents a state where the blud- geon, bowie knife, shot gan and lynchings are the arguments su- preme to statutory enactment. Tillman himself is a bloviator. Therefore when discussing the race question he is incapable of being fair. He is a true represen- tation of southern ruffianism blood thirstiness, mendacity and ven. geance toward the Negroes of this country, ® DAE wEeWwe 4 Ww RACE BREWS ¢ sy Gathered from Vartous Sources. >).

Dr. Clifton, rector of St. Dayis Protestant Episcopal church (colored) of this city, has omitted the use of prayer for the President of the United States. He suid he would sooner be disrobed before he would utter a prayer for ‘so unjust a President, and he added that if President Roosevelt did not re- ‘verse his order the Negroes should oppose him in all his future poli- tical aspirations. Although the Negro Race is charged of being divided and each pulling in opposite direction, but this certainly is not true with the Colored Journals. Just let some one make an attack or say some- thing detrimental to the race and at the flash of the wire everyone is resenting the attack or insult, oné would think that they held a con- vention monthly and agreed to all strike the blow at the same time. Ifthe Negroes were united in every thing else as they are in Journal- ism, there would be no doubt of their achieving much success, For the first time in the history of the University of Vermont, a colored student has been elected captain of an athletic team. ‘The foot ball squad has almost unani- mously selected Fenwick H.

The U.S. revenue officer dropped in at Moore's Saloon corner of 18th and Curtis Sts, last Monday and proceeded to test the liquors of this popular house, and after going through his fine selection of beverages, the officer found that the goods met the highest per cent of the government test. It is indeed gratifying to note that this is one place that does not bar a man on account of his color and too that it is a place where a man gets the worth of his money in high, grade liquor. The first Sunday in December marked the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. J. E. Ford at Zion church. The pastor after carefully reviewing the splendid work accomplished by the congregation during the years of his administration of the spiritual labors of the church startled the congregation and the public presenting his resignation. Seven years is a long time for a pastorate to run in the West and the fact that each year has been decidedly a step forward makes it all the more difficult for pastor and church to part company. The Azalia Hackley Choral club rehersed Monday evening in presence of critics, their program consisting of choruses, quartets, duets and solos, which is to be rendered at one of the largest churches in the city in the near future.

The best of order prevailed throughout. ELKS MEMORIAL Held by Rice Lodge No. 39, in Memoriam of the Late E. L. Shafer. Never in the history of Denver has there been witnessed a more perfectly conducted service than that held at Shorter A.M. E church last Sunday by Rice Lodge No.39. I. B.P. O. E.of W. in memoriam of their deceased brother, E. L. Shafer, Past Exalted Ruler. At the appointed hour the lodge left the hall headed by Esquire F. L. King and the organized musicians brass band and proceeded to the church which was crowded to its fullest capacity. Promptly at 2:30 Exalted Ruler George W. Kimes opened the services with the preliminary excercises, after which Master of Ceremonies King H. Hayes, announced the numbers on the program. Following the invocation by Chaplain Carl Wilson and a selection by the choir and orchestra W. A. Rice, organizer and Past Exalted Ruler, delivered an address on "The Organization and Object of our order," he reviewed the progress of the organization from its foundation and as Mr. Rice is one of the best posted men in the West on Elkdom his address has brought fourth much merited comment both as to delivery and logic. After a selection by the choir and orchestra Rev. Dyett delivered a very impressive sermon at the conclusion of which Miss Marie Jeter sang "Face to Face," and her sweet melodious voice was the subject of much praise. Master of Ceremonies King H. Hayes came next with an address, "General Eulogy" and his remarks proved that he had given his subject a careful study. After a vocal sole, "Here's to our absent Brothers" by Miss Marie Jeter, the Elks gave a donation of $22.00 to the various auxillaries to the church. The Elks and their officers have the congratulation of the COLORADO STATESMAN for their very excellent manner in conducting their services. Their program was carried out without a flaw and we don't believe that there is a secret organization in Denver, but what will concede to the Elks as being superior in all their undertakings.

PASSES WALSH RESOLUTION Chairman Rathvon Says There Has Been Too Much Politics in Road Making—Addresses by Experts and Prominent Citizens. Denver.—At Wednesday's session of the Good Roads convention, Thomas F. Walsh's resolution asking the federal government to establish a temple of mineral research in Denver was adopted without a dissenting vote. On the 15th inst. Mr. Walsh will dine with President Roosevelt, and at that time, he says, he will make a personal plea for the carrying out of the plan suggested in the resolutions. Mayor Speer, at the morning session, outlined a great system of boulevards about to be started by the city. Chairman William R. Rathvon furnished some interesting data concerning roads in Boulder county. In seven years the tax levy has amounted to $260,000 for roads and bridges, and there are not five miles of good roads in the county, he said. "Men, methods and materials are at fault for this condition of affairs," continued Mr. Rathvon. "Politics has entered into the question with the usual bad results. The roads are no better than they were ten years ago, but the people of the county soon will get together and demand and secure the divorcement of road control from political domination." Prof. H. H. Bainer of the State Agricultural College read a paper upon "Construction and Maintenance of Earth Roads." He said that good earth roads could be maintained in most places by proper drainage, but that the main boulevard roads leading into cities should be of broken stone or gravel. One trouble is that the crowns of many of our road beds are too flat to shed water. Prof. James H. Baker of the State University and Dean Ketchum of the University of Colorado, delivered short addresses. L. C. Grisble of Fort Collins stated that in the vicinity of Fort Collins the expense of removing the sugar beet crops to market would be greatly reduced if the roads were kept in better shape than they are at present. He believed the day is not far distant when there must be a road leading from Fort Collins to Denver thence down the Arkansas valley. From Estes Park to Loveland there is a road which cost $35,000, and it had proved of great use to the farmers. W. G. M. Stone read a memorial which is to be presented to the Sixteenth General Assembly asking for the establishment of a board of forestry, the regulation of the cutting of Christmas trees and the founding of a department of forestry at the State Agricultural College. "What Colorado Ought to Do for Good Roads," was the subject discussed by Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel, governor-elect. He said that a sound law should be adopted that would involve a program covering several years for the construction of good roads all over the state, but so succeed, it must be backed by a strong public sentiment. S. A. Osborn of the Denver Chamber o. Commerce delivered a talk on "Legislation of Other States, and What Might Be Applicable to Colorado." He said that in a general way, all of the eastern states are providing for state aid in the construction and maintenance of good roads. Sam Huston, state commissioner of highways of Ohio, talked briefly upon the practical side of road construction. "For years to come the roads of Colorado must be of earth surface," said Mr. Huston. "All roads should be crowned and should receive constant attention." Thomas F. Walsh remarked that there were millions of tons of gravel in the vicinity of Golden and that this gravel is an ideal material for road construction, having already been tested by nature. J. P. Hymer, representing the Denver Real Estate Exchange, read a resolution passed by the exchange indorsing the Good Roads movement. Interstate Commission. Denver.—During the closing session of the Interstate Commerce Commission Wednesday testimony was heard on the following lines: Stifling of competition by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company by refusing to grant right-of-way over its lands to independent operators. Acquirement at wholesale, through agents of the Denver & Rio Grande and Utah fuel companies, of government coal lands in Colorado. Strong evidence indicating that a mutual understanding exists between coal dealers, the state over, to maintain uniform retail prices. Athletic Lease Refused. Denver.—The State Land Board, in response to a vigorous personal protest from many prominent citizens of Denver, unanimously voted against a renewal of the lease held by the Denver Athletic Club on grounds near City Park. The Athletic club has enjoyed the use of these grounds for sporting purposes for about twenty years, but they now conflict with the esplanade plans which the city will put into effect, and would render the entire scheme unfeasible. Judge C. D. Hayt and City Attorney Harry A. Lindsley headed the delegation of citizens opposed to a renewal of the lease. Princeton's Carnegie Lake. New York,—Princeton University came into possession of Lake Carnegie Wednesday, when formal exercises attending the "opening" of the new body of water were held in Princeton. Some four years ago H. R. Butler said to Andrew Carnegie that the Princeton trustees thought of flooding marshes and creating an artificial lake for the college. Carnegie said it was a good idea, subscribed $400,000 for the work and there is now a lake three and one-half miles long, 500 to 1,000 feet wide and three to twelve feet deep, to be used for rowing, fishing, canoeing, sailing, skating and hockey. 80 STRAIGHTENS The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

The yearly poor report filed with the Secretary of State by Kiowa county, shows that there is one poor person in the county and the cost of caring for him last year was $83.43. Emmett Ardell, son of E. A. Ardell, of Pueblo, has received an appointment to the United States naval academy at Annapolis. Emmet is seventeen years old and was born and raised in Pueblo. It is now a violation of the city ordinance to plant cottonwood or box elder trees in Denver. The cotton from the cottonwood tree is strongly objected to and the boxelder is tabooed as a breeder of worms. The Fremont County National bank at Cannon City, formerly the Fremont County bank, opened for business on the third inst. It is capitalized at $100,000 and has $78,000 in deposits and $614,000 cash in hand. The Boulder Riding and Driving Club has been organized as an offshoot of the Boulder Commercial Association. Its president is F. R. Park; William Firstbrook, vice president, and W. S. Bellman, secretary. W. H. Bradfield, pressman at the Star-Journal office in Pueblo, had his hand caught between the plate and roller of a Hoe press on Thanksgiving day, the veins and nerves on the back of the hand being torn off. Felix Powers, an employee of the Silver State Canning & Produce company at Fort Lupton, was badly burned about the head and face by the explosion of a can of hot pumpkin, while it was being run through the cooker. The restaurant men and the church people of Denver have united in an effort to procure the passage of an ordinance abolishing the free lunch system in saloons. Policemen are said to favor it in the belief that it will reduce the "hobo crop." Ray Fisher and William Quinn of Denver, fourteen and seventeen years old, respectively, blind inmates of the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind, were drowned while skating on Prospect lake at Colorado Springs on the 30th ult. At Colorado Springs on Thanksgiving day a crowd of young hoodlums wantonly attacked F. T. Koupa, a mail carrier, throwing all sorts of missiles at him. A brickbat hit him on the forehead and knocked him senseless, inflicting serious injury. The new board of directors of the Colorado State Fair Association met at Pueblo on the 30th ult. and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Paul Wilson; vice president, J. H. Voorhees; treasurer, C. W. Crews; secretary, C. K. Mharg Former United States Senator Thomas M.

The coroner's jury at Colorado Springs in the case of the death of Ray Fisher and William Quinn, the inmates of the State School for the Deaf and Blind who were drowned in Prospect lake, returned a verdict that the lessees and management of the lake were criminally negligent in not providing protection for their patrons. At Greeley on the 3d inst. a meeting of farmers, produce shipers, and representatives of the Greeley Commercial club petitioned to the Union Pacific for more freight cars to move 7,000 carloads of potatoes and other vegetables now "hung up" for want of transportation.

Improvements which will cost from $300,000 to half a million dollars will be made the coming spring and winter in the plant of the Leyden Coal company at Leyden, twelve miles northwest of Denver. The improvements include the sinking of new shafts, which will double the capacity of tac mines. At present the company mines about 1,200 tons and this will be increased to over 2,500 tons daily. By first finding the address of his sweetheart, Deputy Sheriff A. L.

The colonial secretary of the Bahamas states in his report of the islands for 1905-1906 that no complaint of error or delay has been received by the telegraph department for 14 years. Important to Mothers. Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and see that it Mix Soap With Dough. From a communication read to the Association of Belgian Chemists it seems that continental bakers are in the habit of mixing soap with their dough to make their bread and pastry nice and light. The quantity of soap varies greatly. In fancy articles like waffles and fritters it is much larger than in bread. Deafness Cannot Be Cured Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased ear, and only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constriction of the Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this condition is present, the ear is perfectly hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, the ear will not be perfectly hearing, out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Catarrh is not a serious risk for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh), but is caused by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists. Take Hall's Family Pills for constriction. Uses of Masks. "Among the North American Indians the origin of the use of masks lay," says a writer, "in the desire to conceal the emotions. Thus should two warriors meet in combat, the masks conceals any expression, whether of sympathy, fear or other emotion. For instance, the knowledge that fear was depicted on one's face and that his antagonist knew it would very possibly insure the defeat of the one whose feelings were betrayed to the other." Keep in Good Health. There are many thousands of people all over the world who can attribute their good health to taking one of two Brandreth's Pills every night. These pills cleanse the stomach and bowels, stimulate the kidneys and liver and purify the blood. They are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used, and being purely vegetable they are adapted to children and old people, as well as those in the vigor of manhood and womanhood. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. High Position for Admiral. Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, who has just taken command of the American naval forces in the East, will, it is understood, soon be recalled to take what has become to be regarded as the most important post in the navy—namely, chief of the bureau of navigation. Admiral Brownson would, in the usual course, be placed on the retired list next year on account of old age, but owing to his excellent physical and mental condition it is understood he will continue at the head of the navigation bureau at least during the present administration. Bigid Rules for Chauffeurs. According to new regulations in France, no one will in future be granted an automobile license who is not able to prove, in addition to the possession of the necessary technical knowledge, exemption from any physical infirmity which would tend to involve unfitness for the control of an automobile. Persons whose eyesight is impaired, whose hearing is not acute, whose hand is rendered unsteady by drinking habits or who suffer from fits of nervousness will not be allowed to add to the list of accidents. Will Study Irish Language. The education committee of the London county council has decided to recommend to the council that classes for the study of the Irish language and literature be opened in the public elementary schools of Finsbury, Islington, St. Pancras and Stepney. NEW YEAR'S CALLS. A New Drink to Replace the Old-Time "Apple-Jack." Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a delightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog" or "apple-jack" than they could successfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charitable and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoholic beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things, the fact that the old custom of New Year's calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one's friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and another good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum instead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensible daughter who has set Postum before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes: "My daughter and I have used Postum for some time past, and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. "I shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year's callers." Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. "There's a reason." BOY'S HEAD ONE SOLID SORE. Hair All Came Out—Under Doctor Three Months and No Better— Cuticura Works Wonders. Mr. A. C. Barnett, proprietor of a general store in Avard, Oklahoma, tells in the following grateful letter how Cuticura cured his son of a terrible eczema. "My little boy had eczema. His head was one solid sore, all over his scalp; his hair all came out, and he suffered very much. I had a physician treat him, but at the end of three months he was no better. I remembered that the Cuticura Remedies had cured me, and after giving him two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, according to directions, and using Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him dally, his eczema left him, his hair grew again, and he has never had any eczema since. We use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and they keep our skin soft and healthy. I cheerfully recommend the Cuticura Remedies for all cases of eczema. A. C. Barnett, Mar. 30, 1905." Checked Attempt at Monopoly Trusts were sometimes dealt with summarily in old England. For instance, the records of the Brewers' company show that 'on Monday, July 30, 1422, Robert Chichele, the mayor of London, sent for the masters and 12 of the most worthy of our company to appear at the Guildhall for selling dear ale. After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt, wherein Whittyngton, the late mayor, declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the malt, to raise its price, they were convicted in the penalty of £20 ($100), which objecting to, the masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamberlain's custody until they should pay it, or find security for the payment thereof." Autos in German Army. The German Volunteer Army Corps is provided with 37 automobiles in charge of uniformed drivers, which carry staff officers to and fro. In the maneuvers last month the speed and convenience of the machines were highly praised by the tacticians who watched the developments of the mimic campaign. GAINED 34 POUNDS Persistent Anæmia Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills After Other Remedies Had Failed. "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine, "I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anemia. I had spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to, I had such distress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had had several numb spells. My limbs would be cold and without any feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and one morning I awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disappeared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no inconvenience. I also slept soundly. I have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anaemia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Fashion's Modes and Moods THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Two Handsome Gowns For Evening Wear. The modes of the present season, as known to the multitude, allow of so much latitude and admit of such scope for the exercise of individual taste and ingenuity, that it is the woman of imagination, tempered by knowledge, who triumphs. liable becomingness peigne., and the band which lifts the hat to gle and invests its weight of coquetry, forth in Paris that ruthlessly abolished, the savages. Although it is practically a case of choose as you will, certain unbreakable rules must be observed. For example, self-respecting sleeves exhibit a degree of fulness at the shoulder, a square effect being achieved, when necessary, by means of a small crescent-shaped pad inserted between the lining and the material at the top the arm. Such cuffs as obtain on dress bodices and blouses are tightly fitting, and reach to the elbow; in addition they boast a number of diminutive buttons which serve the dual purpose of use and ornament. Skirts are long and clinging and a critical survey of the outline of the really well dressed woman possessed of legeminate claims to elegance, causes the unmitiated to wonder where she bestows her petticoats and to question whether she has not done away with them altogether as superfluous accessories. This brings me to a delightful underskirt I saw and coveted the other evening. Presumably its foundation was softest satin, but I was not permitted a glimpse of its inner mysteries and so can only chronicle a fleeting vision of snowy chiffon, terminating in a diaphanous flounce of the same, lace bordered, and bearing a design of hand-painted leaves in delicate tones of green, and raised illac blossom traced in mauve ribbon. Other fascinating petticoats are entirely composed of lace, while an ideal petticoat of luxury for afternoon wear consists of white suede to the knees, where it is succeeded by a flounce contrived from alternate lines of ivory moire an inca in depth, and lace insertion. As I write the question of millinery is exercising the feminine mind to an unwonted extent. Despite the under- 1 An Elegant Street Costume. There is as much variety in the styles for the street costume as for those for indoors, and the taller made suits are if anything displaying more taste and elegance than ever before. niable becomingness of the cachepeigne, and the bandeau at the side which lifts the hat to the desired angle and invests its wearer with a suggestion of coquetry, the flat has gons forth in Paris that both are to be ruthlessly abolished. Unfortunately, the average woman is not gifted with the Frenchwoman's adaptability in this respect, and it takes her some time and much heart searching ere she can reconcile herself to an unacustomed mode, and shake off the distrustful attitude which she invariably maintains toward a new fashion. Picture her, for instance, venturing out in a wide-brimmed hat of unstiffened felt, the size of a small umbrella, in a soft, creamy tone, the crown wreath a soft, creamy tone, the crown wreathed with monster magnolia blossoms and characteristic bronze-red leaves, while a misty scarf floats from some mysterious region at the back, is wound once about the throat, and is finally transfixed by a diamond arrow in the neighborhood of the left shoulder. It is essential, for the proper exploiting of prevalent styles, to be slender. To this end the staymakers have devised combinations of woven silk which are firmly boned, after the manner of a stay, the bones reaching well up to the bust and continuing to below the hips, so that the body is compressed into the least possible compass. The reason for this desire to appear of sylph-like proportions lies in the continued vogue enjoyed by Princess and semi-Empire styles. A short-waisted effect is achieved on many evening gowns, by means of little zouaves encrusted with pearl and diamond embroideries, the tiny sleeves being of the same lace, minus the tewels. In our larger fashion plate are shown two evening gowns, the one in pale gray velvet, the other in soft pink satin; embroidered lace traced with palettes and plain chiffon do their duty as trimming. Fashion has decreed that velvet shall be worn and many of the out-of-doors costumes will be made of this material. In fact, a more comfortable feeling or comfortable looking cloth could not be found. In matter of coats the three-quarters length seems to be most in vogue, and all are collarless, although this question, so long in abeyance, is being raised in the fashion centers of Paris and London. After having had our coats and cloaks collarless now for a good number of years, even in the depth of winter, it has occurred to some of the big furriers in Paris to raise the question of the wisdom of such a fashion and whether it would not be well to revive the high Medicis collar once more. Personally, I should hall the return of the Medicis or storm collar to our fur garments with joy, for not only did it protect the back of the head and neck, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the human frame, and the one most accessible to neuralgia, but also it framed the face in the most bewitching fashion. But the mere idea of the revival has raised shrieks of opposition from many fair Parisiannes, who declare that the high collar rumps the hair, though why it should do so, when the hair is invariably worn drawn up to the top of the head, and the Medicis collar is always cut to stand out at the top and leave the hend free, is difficult to explain logically. Every revival or innovation, however, is nearly always greeted with shrieks of protest by one section or another of the feminine community. THE Broadhurst and Barnett SHOE CO.
