MERRY XMAS@HAPPY NEW YEARTO ALL THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Race Denied What Freedom was Supposed to Bring. Rev. J. T. Jenifer in Christian Recorder asks: "What must we do to be Saved?--Stand and Contend." VOL. XIII, Race What Freedom was Supposed in Christian Recorder do to be Saved?--S Beset to a large degree by weaknesses, ignorance and the vices of the shiftless and criminal class that create sentiment against the Negro on the one hand, and confronted by race prejudice, injustice and cruel treatment on the other, it would seem reasonable for those watching the trend of affairs in the United States relating to colored people to raise the question what must the Negro do to be saved? The Negro in the house of his former bondage bore with a degree of patience his crusning burdens, being sustained by his faith and the encouraging hope that some day freedom with its benefits would come to him and his children. Now that the prophetic day has dawned, the yoke is broken, he is termed a free man and a citizen, yet finding himself denied the relief that freedom was supposed to bring, without protection or civil rights, what, some may in reason ask, is to save us from despair and desperation? The Negro's advancement in industry, wealth and intelligence would seem an insufficient answer, if public sentiment is to preponderate against him on account of these. If bereft of franchise, without vote, or representation, either in legislative or executive bodies of government, the chief safeguards of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are denied him; if clad in the military uniform of his country to which he has been intensely loyal in its foes, the Negro finds himself knocked down, insulted and abused with no redress. If executive sanction from the Nation's Chief Magistrate is given to the false dogma that Negroes' crime is known and condoned by all Negroes, hence the innocent should suffer with the guilty. Then indeed may be asked what in American Citizenship is the Negro to hope for? When he sees his country concerning itself with the cruelties of Spain and Cuba; with Russia and the Jews in Russia, even stepping over States Sovereignty to seek justice for the Japanese in California, may the Negro not ask the General Government, carest thou not that we are disfranchised, and Jim Crowed, illegally arrested, imprisoned, lynched and burned, shot, marauded and driven out with no defense or national rebuke? This state of affairs would seem to give emphasis to the question at the head of this paper, but the lessons of the history of race development admonishes us not to despair, it will not be so always. The God of justice, the Guide of the destiny of nations is not dead. He is on the throne. America, especially the South, has enslaved the Negro, hence the conscience, that always occurs when a fellow is wronged is bringing and indefinable foreboding of evils that breeds an unrest about the Negros' future; therefore under the cry of "Negro domination social equality, Negro shiftlessness and crime," they resort to every device to oppress and to decitizenize and rob the Negro of his rights. In order to prevent the North protesting against the outrageous measures at nullification, the South seeks to forestall any effort to that end by a counter sentiment. They subside the press, the pulpit, lecture platform, magazine and book to create the public convictions, that the Negro is chief cause of all the evils the Southern people are made to bear. All these it must be confessed, affords grounds for serious apprehension as to the future of Negro in this country. But should the Negro despair? No, truth and justice live and must prevail. But should not the Negro colonize and go to Africa? I think not. To flee is cowardly. The Negro should not go to Africa, First: Because the purchasing price of liberty has ever been that of blood and sufferings, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, in the midst of the highest civilized environments is a precious boon but through centuries of struggle and sufferings, and God Nature make no special arrangement for the Negro more than for other people to attain this boon. Secondly. Fleeing to Africa offers no reasonable remedy for our present evils; nor solution to the so-called race problem. I see no place, outside of Liberia in Africa where the white man does not dominate everything worth the consideration of the black man, unless it is to plunge into heathen darkness in order to struggle through it to the light. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1906. The white man has at last gotten into Abyssinia, Monelicks dominion, and made treaties dominion, and made treaties with this African potentate, causing him to proclaim that "The days of exclusiveness are over." This means that the days of his blissful independence of the white man will soon be over. I am opposed to the African emigration theory. Thirdly, because it is a soothing panacea to the conscience of such as claim this to be the white man's county only. Such an argument closes the doors of hope to any lofty ambitions in the Negro in efforts at thrift accumulation and settlement. Let persons of push and capability go to Africa or elsewhere if they choose, but in my mind the African theory offers no practical solution for the Negro's difficulties in America. If he cannot survive in America he is poor material upon which to erect the temple of liberty in Africa. What then must we do to be saved? Stand and contend. This is the only common seuse thing to do. Forty years success in the effort argues the wisdom of the advice. The Negro should remain and contend because he has similar rights as other race varieties that have come here; he has paid and is paying similar prices as others for his remaining. His citizenship is based upon the claims of birth, and guaranteed by the amendments to the constitution, the Organic law of the Republic. His citizenship is thus locked into the very fabrick of our national policy, hence is not to be run from by intimidation but to be contended for and defended. A prominent Afro-American went to the Lyceum Theatre to secure a box from which to witness the Williams & Walker show. this week, and was told the boxes and orchestra seats were all sold, whereupon the doctor asked if, in truth, it was not a case of drawing the color line, and the ticket seller said he had orders not to sell any seats in the boxes or the orchestra to colored people. The same situation obtains at Whitney's opera house, and we regret to say that there is some reason for the regulation. The writer attended the show one night this week and the way a couple of colored men carried on was most disgraceful, and it was with greatest difficulty that anything said on the stage could be heard by those sitting near them. Then between acts they must climb over a lot of people to get a drink or some other fool errand. What the theatres ought to do is to throw out these disturbers and not taboo a whole race of people for the shortcomings of one or two.—Detroit Informer. The Negroes of Chattanooga, Tenn., are soon to erect a theater to which whites will be barred. Dallas Texas has the only Negro Daily newspaper in the South. It is published every day in the week except Sunday. James Taylor of Philadelphia has been appointed a locomotive engineer on the Philadelphia and Reading railway. Dr. P. W. Ray, who died on the 28th of last month, aged 82 years, was the oldest Mason and practicing doctor of color in the United States. Murfreesboro, Tenn. has a Negro population of 3,999 which is 56.2 of the entire population. 468 of the Negro population are males of voting age. Washington, Dec. 10.—Senator Lodge today introduced a resolution declaring that the time has come when the affairs of the Congo Free State should be made the subject of an international inquiry. South Carolina finds it difficult to place the 500 German immigrants recently landed at Charleston. When it comes to the point the southerners are not as anxious to get rid of the colored man as some of them imagine they would be. Washington, Dec. 10.—Representative Slayden of Texas, who several days ago introduced a bill to abolish the four Negro regiments now in the military service has received a letter threatening his life if he attempts to push the measure. The Lousiana Negroes are keeping pace with the times. The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias has bought and paid for a lot costing $15,000 on Canal street, in New Orleans, and will erect a $25,000 building. Dr. John H. Lowery, of Donaldsonville, is interesting the business men of the State with a view of organizing a bank. Jamesville, Wis., Nov. 23.—Celadon Bassett, a wealthy wholesale saddlery dealer, who died last Sunday, leaves a portion of his fortune to three Southern Negro institutions, as follows: The Booker T. Washington school in Alabama the Beloit School in Beloit, Ala., and to the Utica Normal and industrial School at Utica, N. Y. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 18.—An unusual peonage charge was filed today in the federal court by a Negro, Dan January, against James Patrick, a farmer. The affidavit alleges that January was held in servitude with his wife and six children by L. D. Carter for a period of about two years; that Carter then sold him to Patrick for $1, 090.95, and Patrick refused to release him from custody until the debt was canceled. There are about 15,000 Negroes in the city of Little Rock, all of a smart, industrious class with 2 first class jewelry stores, 1 bank, 3 undertaking establishments, 2 drug stores, a three story building owned by the Odd Fellows, 4 newspapers, 5 printing offices, 1 first-class club room, 1 furniture store and grocery stores, tailor shops, restaurants and hotels galore and about one third of the Negroes own or are buying their own homes. Elizabethtown, Ky.—In the presence of a curious crowd the sheriff of this country will this week offer to the highest bidder an able bodied white man, Dock Auberry, whom a jury has declared without means of support and able to work, but with an overmastering inclination not to do so. For nine months the state will turn Auberry over to the buyer to perform manual labor. While the auctioning off of a human being in this age seems queer, the action in the present case is perfectly regular and under a state law, though one called into use very often. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 23. Because of the refusal of the Montgomery Traction company to obey the new "Jim Crow" low, every car operated was stopped two and a half hours this morning by the arrests of the general manager of the company and several motormen and conductors. The law requires that every car shall carry either white or blacks exclusively and be labeled "white or "colored." The company appealed to Judge Sayre of the city court, who issued an injunction, preventing the city from interfering, and traffic was resumed. The council may revoke the company's franchise. In Springfield, Mo., several weeks ago, a colored man was caught in the private room of a white woman. The meeting seemed to be mutual, and they both were arrested. The colored man was fined $10 and the costs of the court, for being there, and the woman was turned loose. At the trial the woman said she had sent for the man to go on an errand for her. The judge seemed to believe this tale. This same woman had already caused the lynching of a young colored man at Mt. Vernon, Mo., last August. She having been caught and seeing the best way out she hollowed rape. There NO. 13. are many such cases as this happening every day in the year, but no one seems to care to investigate hence the colored man is lynched, burned, and it is hurled to the wind that he has committed an assault upon some reputable white woman. DEFENDER OF NEGRO RE WARDED. Washington, Dec. 19.—The followiny letter was given out at the White house today: "The White House, Wash., D.C. "Dear Mr. Bonaparte:—Some three years ago Sheriff J. L. Merrill of Carroll county, Georgia, lost his chance for re-election by his action in beating off a mob of several hundred white people who were trying to take a Negro out of jail and put him to death. Sheriff Merrill and his deputies fired on the mob, killing and wounding several men and beating the others off. Because of this he was defeated for re-election. Congressman Adamson brought the matter to my attention, saying that he hated to see a man who had done such a service as a public official defeated because of the very fact that he had rendered the service. He told me that Governor Terrill had offered Merrill a place, the best he had to give, which carried a salary of $50 per month. I told the congressman I thought I could beat that, and got him a place at $1,200 a year as custodian of the grounds of the federal prison at Atlanta. I hear he has done well. If he has done well, can't we give him a promotion? (Signed) Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." The Seattle Searchlight of last week had the following to say of the color line in Seattle: Mr. Austin Anderson, who has for a number of years, been head-waiter at the Lincoln hotel, received his walking papers last Monday night, because Mrs Blackwell, who is the manager of the hotel, said he was too ardent admirer of the flowing bowl, that not only cheers but intoxicates. In consequence of his over indulgence, Mr. Anderson was fired, and in view of that fact eighteen white waitresses went on a strike out of sympathy for Mr. Anderson, who they say will miss his Xmas tips and they therefore refused to go to work until Anderson was reinstated, at least until after Xmas. It being about dinner time the manager was compelled to accede to the demands of the waitresses and consequently Anderson was reinstated temporally. After dinner however, Mrs. Blackwell took a different view of the matter and again fired the head-waiter, and incidently the eighteen white waitresses, who it is thought, are gone for good as they are not members of the union.—W. D. Miller, a white man has been installed in Anderson's place and this means the passing of the Negro from the Hotel Lincoln. so The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

APPEALS TO SAN FRANCISCO Declares That Japanese Will be Fully Protected — Commends Secretary Metcalf's Report. Washington.—Following is the President's message transmitted to Congress Tuesday: "I enclose herewith for your information the final report made to me personally by Secretary Metcalf on the situation affecting the Japanese in San Francisco. The report deals with three matters of controversy—first, the exclusion of the Japanese children from the San Francisco schools; second, the boycotting of Japanese restaurants, and third, acts of violence committed against the Japanese. "As to the first matter, I call your especial attention to the very small number of Japanese children who attend school, to the testimony as to the brightness, cleanliness and good behavior of these Japanese children in the schools, and to the fact that, owing to their being scattered throughout the city, the requirement for them all to go to one special school is impossibe. of fulfillment and means that they cannot have school facilities. Let me point out further that there would be no objection whatever to excluding from the schools any Japanese on the score of age. It is obviously not desirable that young men should go to school with children. The only point is the exclusion of the children themselves. The number of Japanese children attending the public schools in San Francisco was very small. "The government has already directed that suit be brought to test the constitutionality of the act in question; but my very earnest hope is that such suit will not be necessary, and that as a matter of comity the citizens of San Francisco will refuse to deprive these young Japanese children of education and will permit them to go to the schools. "The question as to the violence against the Japanese is most admirably put by Secretary Metcalf, and I have nothing to add to his statement. I am entirely confident that, as Secretary Metcalf says, the overwhelming sentiment of the state of California is for law and order and for the protection of the Japanese in their persons and property. Both the chief of police and the acting mayor of San Francisco assured Secretary Metcalf that everything possible would be done to protect the Japanese in the city. I authorized and directed Secretary Metcalf to state that if there was failure to protect persons and property, then the entire power of the federal government within the limits of the constitution would be used promptly and vigorously to enforce the observance of our treaty, the supreme law of the land, which treaty guaranteed to Japanese residents everywhere in the Union full and perfect protection for their persons and property; and to this end everything in my power would be done, and all the forces of the United States, both civil and military, which I could lawfully employ, would be employed. I call especial attention to the concluding sentence of Secretary Metcalf's report of November 26, 1906. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." NAVY PROMOTIONS. Special Message Advocates Radical Changes in System. Washington. — President Roosevelt Monday sent to Congress a special message on the personnel of the navy, in which some radical changes in the methods of promotion now in vogue are advocated. The messages in part is as wollows: "In my last three annual messages I have invited the attention of the Congress to the urgent necessity of such legislation as will cause officers of the line of the navy to reach the grades of captain and rear admiral at less advanced ages, and will give them more experience and training in the important duties of these grades. "Under the present archaic system of promotion, without parallel in the navy of any other first-class power, captains are commissioned at the average age of fifty-six and rear admirals at the average of sixty. The system is the result of a long-continued prejudice in favor of a method of promotion by which all Heutenants in order of seniority pass through the several grades until they eventually become rear admirals; a method which sacrifices the good of the service to the interests of the individual mediocrit." The Presideat transmits a bill, recommended by a board of six officers appointed by the secretary of the Navy and says: "The bill herewith transmitted to the Congress has been formulated by the secretary and is based, except in a few details, on the recommendation. Should it be enacted into law it will cause officers on the sea-going list to reach the grade of captain at forty-eight, and rear admirals at fifty-five, and will assure their serving seven years in the grade of rear admiral, thus enabling them to become thoroughly skilful and efficient in these grades. "The accompanying bill also establishes the grade of vice admiral. This grade has long existed in all other principal navies of the world in order to obtain a selected grade of skilled commanders in chief. "If the proposed plan of promotion is carried out it will as compared with existing law, make a saving of more than $5,000,000 during the next seven years. "I am firmly of the opinion that unless the present condition of higher command personnel is rectified by Juffolic legislation, the future of our navy will be gravely compromised."

Before another copy of the Colorado Statesman reaches its many readers they will have had, all the joy and blessings of the Christmas tide. How to make Christmas a joy and pleasure not only to ourselves but to all ought to be uppermost in our thoughts. Selfishness will rule out joy, therefore the first thing to do is to get rid of selfishness—throw it out of your mind, kick it out doors and let it have no place in your consideration. Second, get rid of vanity and covetousness. This will mar your pleasure. If you are not as happily circumstanced as somebody else, what difference does it make; resolve at least that you won't be a complainer, a knocker or a grumbler. Get happy yourself. You must be cheery before you can make anybody else comfortable. Third, resolve to do something, give something to help somebody else; if it is not much, do it anyhow. It is not the marketable value, but the purpose and spirit that counts most. The Colorado Statesman has not met all of its ideals during the year; we have had our loss and profits, our ups and downs, our successes and failures, but we are happy just the same. Happy to have lived through another year. Happy to see another Christmas. Happy to dispense our cheer to others. Happy to live in the day of great things, and now we extend to our readers, one and all, new and old, saint and sinner, young and aged, a merry Christmas. Let there be peace on earth and good will to all men. Get the Christmas smile, the Christmas feel and the Christmas action. It is that big, broad, fine, deep, true and expansive feeling. The Christmas spirit is not a myth or illusion, it is just a generous, good natured, high toned interest and respect for our fellow beings as brothers in a common family. Sons of Mother Nature make it, sympathize for others who are up against it. Again we wish you a merry Christmas. Pass it along until everybody in Denver gets the fever, smile and action of Christmas. CHRISTMAS GIVING Some excellent people condemn all Christmas giving because so many people make of it a senseless fad. It is true that much—perhaps most—giving of Christmas gifts is far from keeping with the real spirit of the sacred day, or even in accord with reason or good sense. Gifts made for a display of means or for the discharge of some obligation or because something of equal or larger value is expected in return, or to bind somebody favor or consideration are vulgar, and especially at a time when far different motives should hold sway. But even this does not justify a general condemnation of all Christmas giving. Giving has its origin in the deeper and better part of our nature. It can no more be restrained than the waters of a spring and life would be so much of a desolation without the one as earth would be without the other. Where we love we give and the giving is the outward expression of the loving. Joy and gratitude, gladness and good will seek some tangible form of expression other than words, and they find it in favors and gifts. Christmas itself is but an expression of the greatest and divinest gift ever made to the world. So there is plenty of justification for Christmas giving, however, is more important than the gift itself. A mere trifle or trinket may serve a blessing of a lifetime, while a costly baule may only serve a temporary interest.. Let your giving be done judiciously and with the right spirit and it will serve noble ends. DENVER AS SEEN THROUGH PLATE GLASS.

THE DAWN OF DAY FOR AFRICA For twenty years we have heard the story of the barbarities, cruelty, inhumanity and shocking atrocities committed upon native Africans in the Congo Free State by King Leopold of Belgium. The murder and maiming of men, the torture of babes and the ravishing of women. O God! the helpless and friendless natives, how they have suffered, starved and died, for no other cause than to satisfy the insatiable whim of Belgium's King. But the day is dawning for Africa. Her help is near at hand. Last week the following resolution was introduced in the Senate: "Whereas, the reports of inhuman treatment inflicted upon the native inhabitants of the Congo Free State have been of such a nature and so well sustained as to draw the attention of the civilized world and excite both the indignation and the compassion of the people of the United States; therefore be it "Resolved, That in the opinion of the Senate of the United States, the time has come when the affairs of the Congo Free State should be made the subject of international inquiry and the Senate respectfully advises the President that any steps he may deem it wise to take in co-operation with or in aid of any of the powers signatories of the treaty of Berlin, which shall seek to ameliorate the condition of the Congo Free State and redress any evils now existent there, he will receive its cordial support." Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the administration leader and personal spokesman of President Roosevelt, presented the resolution, and it was quickly concurred in. Surely, the President has more than redeemed himself in the eyes of every Negro in the world, or, larger still, President Roosevelt is greater still in the eyes of the world. He has gone further for the poor Negro in Africa than for the suffering Jews in Russia, because the resolution pledges the support of the Senate to any action which the President may take toward ending the unspeakable humanities. There is a growing demand that the Belgian minister be requested by his government to come home, thereby severing all diplomatic relations with our government, and also that the world powers be given an opportunity with America for concerted action in Africa, and if not, the United States will go it alone SANTA CLAUS At last, O God! Thy hand is seen working in the affairs of men. The prayers of ministers and missionaries have been heard. The wrongs of men and the insults of women are to be avenged, and Africa—poor, suffering, bleeding and tortured Africa—is to see the dawn of better days. But the celerity with which all has been brought about is astounding. Never in the memory of man has official action followed so closely upon an expose of evil. It was just five hours from the time of the information that a lobby was maintained in Washington by King Leopold, that Senator Lodge was reading his resolution in the Senate backing up President Roosevelt in any action he might take against the Belgian power. Now the order of the day—Buy presents for men from a man's shop—They appreciate it more. What an Xmas present for Africa, with Roosevelt as "Old Saint Nick," bringing relief and good cheer to the hearts and bodies of these long-suffering Africans.

CANAL MESSAGE CANAL MESSAGE PRESIDENT SATISFIED WITH THE PANAMA OUTLOOK. COMMENDS THE WORK DONE Route Is Best that Could Have Been Chosen—Commission Has Been Wise and Energic—Wants One Man to Have Control. Washington.—In a long message sent to Congress Monday, President Roosevelt gave a detailed history of his tour to Panama and the conditions he found on the isthmus and in the canal work. He said: "I chose the month of November for my visit partly because it is the rainiest month of the year, the month in which the work goes forward at the greatest disadvantage, and one of the two months which the medical department of the French Canal Company found most unhealthy." After giving a full account of what he saw, he says: "At the outset I wish to pay a tribute to the amount of work done by the French Canal Company under very difficult circumstances. Many of the buildings they put up were excellent and are still in use, though, naturally, the houses are now getting out of repair and are being used as dwellings only until other houses can be built, and much of the work they did in the Culebra cut, and some of the work they did in digging has been of direct and real benefit. This country has never made a better investment than the $40,000,000 which it paid to the French company for work and betterments, including especially the Panama railroad. "An inspection of the ground at the height of the rainy season served to convince me' of the wisdom of Congress in refusing to adopt either a high-level or a sea-level canal. There seems to be a universal agreement among all people competent to judge that the Panama route, the one actually chosen is much superior to both the Nicaragua and Darien routes. "The wisdom of the canal management has been shown in nothing more clearly than in the way in which the foundations of the work have been laid. "Just at present the health showing on the isthmus is remarkably good—so much better than in most sections of the United States that I do not be lieve it can possibly continue at quite its present average. "After most careful consideration we have decided to let out most of the work by contract, if we can come to satisfactory terms with the contractors. The whole work is of a kind suited to the peculiar genius of our people; and our people have developed the type of contractor best fitted to grapple with it. "My conclusion is that it combines the maximum of advantage with the minimum of disadvantage. Under it a premium will be put upon the speedy and economical construction of the canal, and a penalty imposed on delay and waste. "A seven-headed commission is of course a clumsy executive instrument. We should have but one commissioner, with such heads of departments and other officers under him as we may find necessary. We should be expressly permitted to employ the best engineers in the country as consulting engineers "Those best informed believe that the work will be completed in about eight years; but it is never safe to prophesy about such a work as this especially in the tropics." EDITORS TURNED DOWN. Ruling Is Positive Against Transportation for Advertising. Washington.—About fifteen members of the National Editorial Association had an informal hearing Saturday before the Interstate Commerce Commission in regard to revision of the ruling of the commission that railroads can not enter into contract with news papers for advertising and give in return railroad transportation.* Chairman Knapp declared that prominent railroad men had applauded the action of the commission, that the law comprehensively, explicitly and unqualifiedly prohibited the transportation by railroads of persons or property except in accordance with the precise terms of the tariffs filed for that purpose, and that every tariff provided for payment in money. Expressing his own personal opinion, the chairman said that if a railroad were honestly and legally indebted to a newspaper for advertising or anything else, he saw no reason why it should not issue transportation for it, but that there could be no "fake" contracts, which contemplated merely the furnishing of transportation for advertising. It was suggested that members of the association were not precluded by the ruling of the commission from making a test case if they desire to do so, and have the question pudicially determined. Legislators Resign Other Offices. Denver.—Henry C. Watson of Weld county, who was elected to the Legislature at the last election, has sent in his resignation from the board of commissioners of the Soldiers and Sailors' Home at Monte Vista, because no member of the Legislature can hold another office. Governor McDonald immediately announced the appointment of Dr. George W. Curfman of Denver to succeed him. T. C. Brandon of Durango is another member of the board who was elected to the Legislature and will resign because he enters the General Assembly. Daniel S. Jones of Center, Saguache county, was elected to the State Senate. He is at present division engineer of District No. 3. British Channel Tunnel. London.—A bill empowering an Anglo-French company to construct a tunnel under the British channel, has been deposited with parliament. It is estimated that this scheme will involve an expenditure of $89,000.00. It is proposed to build two parallel tunnels twenty-four miles long. Swallowed by the Sea. Since the sixteenth century 12 churches, a convent, a hospital and many hundreds of acres of land have been swallowed by the sea in the vicinity of Aldeburgh, England.

Rapidly Supplanting Iron and Steel for Many Uses. In spite of the fact that the largest corporation in the world is devoted to the exploitation of iron and steel the people who like to look ahead are already prophesying the end of the iron age. It is pointed out that we can already compute the amount of iron ore still in sight, and the number of years which it will require to exhaust these deposits. The question which arises is what is to be the substitute for iron. The experts have an answer ready. We will return to the age of clay. Iron, according to the late Professor Shaler, is first to go out of use for retaining vessels. After a while there will be no more iron buckets and bathtubs and boilers. The retaining vessels of the future, like those of our saveage forbears, will be made of clay. Already a new spirit is entering the pottery of the world, and the ceramic industry is recovering the lost glories of its antiquity. Sheet iron will become too expensive for roofs, and tiles will be more used. Even now they are regaining a vogue in American country houses. Iron for structural purposes will follow the way of iron for retaining vessels. For all its shell of brick and stone, New York is a steel city, a masked dream of the iron age, a metal skeleton, incased. Sometimes its steel skyscrapers and its steel bridges will be curiosities. The houses and bridges of the future, many of them, will be built of cement. Many of them are being built of cement. The cement house is a modified version of the adobe dwelling of the Indians of the Southwest. It is the clay age reasserting itself in a novel form. In this form indeed that age is already on the scene, shouldering cut the iron age in a thousand places. America produced only about a million and a half barrels of cement in 1897. Last year the output was 26,000,000 barrels. The supply is practically inexhaustable. It is claimed for the cement house that it can be erected in half the time of another house and at much less expense. The Little Tin Soldier. Vance Thompson, in the Christmas Everybody's, writing of "Where the Toys Come from," describes the Nuremberg home of the toy soldier. "The soldiers are sold by the hundredweight," he says, "and last year nearly 50,000 quintals were sent into the United States. A pound box, which contains about 150 pieces—infantry, cavalry, artillery, with such accessories as trees, bastions, camps, the wounded soldiers and the dead—you may buy yonder in the Troedel market for 60 cents. As every one knows, there are two kinds of toy soldiers—those stamped out of flat metal, and the finer kind made in molds. Modern machinery—as you may see in the great factories outside the city walls—has stripped the process of romance. The only hand-work is the painting of the little figures, which is done by women and girls."

Fifty Japanese arrived at the Pueblo steel works a few days ago in charge of one of the Japanese employment agents who have been bringing Asiatics recently from Pacific coast points.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. BROKE THE WILDCAT'S BACK. Philadelphia Man Victorious in Hand-to-Hand Combat. Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke was attacked by a wildcat on Locust mountain, south of Mount Carmel', Pa. He had been in Ashland and started to drive home. His horse stepped on a nail and he put the animal in a stable. Then he started to walk home and was on the mountain when the cries of a wildcat alarmed him. A few minutes later he saw the beast ten feet in front of him. The animal finally sprang. He jumped aside and as the body of the cat struck the road he leaped upon it. For several minutes the fight between the wild animal and the man went on. At length by a quick swing he broke the animal's back. A physician dressed the several deep scratches on his face and hands, but otherwise he was uninjured. TORTURED WITH ECZEMA Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to any one. Mrs. Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905." VISION SHOWED SON DEAD. Italian Mother's Dream Followed by Discovery of Body. A strange case of telepathy in connection with a murder is arousing much interest in Milan, Italy. A woman named Lazzaroni awoke suddenly at three o'clock the other morning, and calling her son John, who lives in her house, told him that his younger brother, Leopold, living in the outskirts of the town, was dead. The mother was deeply affected, but John tried to comfort her by ascribing her fears to a bad dream. At dawn, however, Leopold Lazzaroni, a handsome and strong young man, the owner of a dairy, was found dead at a spot some distance from his dwelling. After having made an examination of the body, the doctors affirmed that Leopold had been murdered actually at three o'clock in the morning. The next day the culprits were arrested. The facts of the mother's vision which have been duly authenticated are the subject of endless discussion Important to Mothers. Bears the Signature of Charles H. Hutchin. In Use For Our 39 Years.

A lawyer made his appearance at Colobar, West Africa, the other day and a Gold Coast newspaper, noting the fact, said: "It is very unsafe for the people for lawyers to practice at this place. Their appearance in this river will soon inveigle everyone who is not careful into litigation, and they will feed on their folly, thereby ruining them." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Pugilist's Sudden Conversion. "Kid" Wedge, a light-weight puglist who claimed to be champion of Arkansas, was training for a fight with Guy Buckles in Omaha. Suddenly he "got religion" and sent word to the management of the club where he was to appear explaining why they would have to make other arrangements. At the same time he mailed a copy of the New Testament to Mr. Buckles, who, as he fully expected to win the fight which had been arranged, is not yet entirely resigned. The Evils of Constipation. are many; in fact almost every serious illness has its origin in constipation, and some medicines, instead of preventing constipation, add to it. This is true of most cathartics, which, when first used, have a beneficial effect, but the dose has to be continually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. There is one preparation, however, that can be relied upon to produce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years' daily use, and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has a record of over 100 years as the standard remedy for constipation and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used, and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated. One Peril of Ballooning. One of the strange experiences of a balloonist is that of falling into "a hole in the air," which Mr. Rolker reports as follows: "So you continue sailing, enjoying the present with little thought of the startling surprises that may be before you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be what the balloonist calls a 'hole in the air', resembling the vortex of a maelstrom, and down this you may literally fall at a rate which is terrifying until, by sacrificing two or three bagfuls of sand at once, your pilot checks your downward flight. But these 'holes' are scarce, and, as a rule, the atmosphere is of uniform carrying power." —American Magazine. Hindoos' Day of Prayer. In order best to influence the British government a meeting of Hindoos opposed to the partition of Bengal decided the other day to observe the anniversary of "Partition Day" by "fasting, praying and bathing in the Ganges."
