LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Denver's Growth During the Past Year has been Startling. We Advise Our People to Get Busy and Line up with the Progress. VOL. XIII. Denver's During the Past Year Advise Our People to up with the Can it be possible that we as colored citizens realize the forward movement that is pushing ahead around us day by day and year by year. The growth of our city is startling when we begin to sum up the magnitude of its advancements. To view this growth while we are in the midst of it and a part of it is no easy task because the city is nearer to the people than any other form of Government and the people look at it from different points of view because of their surroundings, interests, purposes and education. In the first place Denver is progressive along conservative and practical lines. Needed improvements are being pushed and ornaments and beauty are being added as time and money is available. Denver is not puritanical and will soon grow out of its spasms of reform but arrive at betterment and it is deemed wise and necessary. Denver now has a population close on to 200,000 and increasing rapidly. It has an area of 59 square miles with over 1200 miles of streets. It reports 2420 building permits amounting to over seven millions of money expended in this direction alone. The clearing house shows that money flows freely in the channel of trade and that the amount handled is twenty millions more than any previous year. One year ago Denver had fourteen parks containing 603 acres. During 1906 seven new parks were purchased by the city containing an additional 429 acres and costing $221300. During the year Denver has established its first childrens free play grounds which has proven so successful in other large cities. The Health Department of Denver has one of the busiest and up to date forces. It has under its control the supervision of contagious diseases, the inspection of premises the bacteriological labory. The analysis of milk, meat and plumbing, the cleaning of alleys, removal of garbage and destruction of weeds, the Steele and County hospital, all of this unseen and very often unknown work accounts for this city having a world wide reputation for health. --- Among the contemplated improvements for 1907 is ornamental street lighting, a public bath and swimming pool, resurfacing of streets, a new steel viaduct over 23rd street, a new viaduct over 19th or 20th street, the new library and auditorium. All of this with the addition of Police and Fire apparatus and questions of taxation and administration and individual improvements makes Denver one of the busiest cities in the world The COLORADO STATESMAN gives you this information not for the purpose boast or boost but that our people may get busy, get a vision of what Denver will be ten or twenty years from now and be prepared to be a live party in this growth by purchasing now. Be a property holder, get some of the prosperity that is flowing in as a steady tide upon us. With the improvement of Cherry creek from a disgraceful sight into a boulevard and the extension of public utility plants in every direction, there is no reason why the Negro should not invest in suburban property in every direction. There can be no loss, the West is certain to expand. Los Angeles is a good example of what Denver is certain to be. In our next issue we shall attempt to give our readers a glimpse of the development of the state during the year and what improvement is made in the state is certain to affect Denver as this city is the central market where all capital is directed. SOLDIER QUESTION Washington, Jan. 9.—"There is but one man who can modify that order. I am that man and I'll never modify it—never." This is the declaration President Roosevelt is said to have made today to several congressional callers with whom he talked concerning the discharge of the Negro soldiers on account of the riot at Brownsville. The news was carried to the capitol, and the President's friends renewed their efforts to preclude the possibility of an inquiry into the action. Senator Foraker announced that he had agreed to withhold the rest of his speech until Senator Till- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1907. man who is ill, could be present. Tillman thinks he will be ready to talk tomorrow. He wants to enliven things by asking the Ohio senator some questions which will have a bearing on Ohio politics and perhaps bring out in the records the feeling existing between Senator Foraker and the president. What amounts to an agreement between Senator Foraker and Lodge has been attained by their friends. It provides for the investigation by the senate committee of the affray at Brownsville, and that a subcommittee be paid out of the contingent funds of the senate. Such a resolution would ignore the constitutional and legal questions Unless the speeches yet to be made create resentment, it is believed the compromise will be effective. El Reno, Okla, Jan. 9.—It was rumored here last night that a Negro soldier formerly from Fort Reno, who had been traced from Topeka, had been arrested at La Junta for alleged connection with the shooting of Captain Macklin. The Negro was arrested at Topeka last week, but released after being examined by the United States district attorney. Later the officials sought the Negro again, but he had left the city apparently for the West and La Junta officers were asked to keep a lookout for the man. REPORT ON ATLANTA RIOT A Press dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., dated December 28th says: The committee of leading business men appointed to investigate the recent riots at Atlanta, and to disburse about $10,000 subscribed for families of those killed and injured, to-day made public a startling report. It finds that seven Negroes killed were innocent and concludes with the statement that "toughs have crucified Atlanta in the eves of the world and shocked the moral senses of our own people. "Among the victims of this mob there was not a single vagrant," the committee says. "They were earning wages at honest work up to the time of the riot. They were supporting themselves or dependent relatives. Most of the dead left small children and widows, mothers or sisters, with practically no means and very small earning capacity. "The wounded lost from one to eight weeks' time at 50 cts to $4 a day each. About 70 persons were wounded, and among these there was an immense amount of suffering. In some cases it was prolonged and excruciating pain. Many of the wounded are disfigured, and several are permanently disabled. "As 12 persons were killed and 70 were murderously assaulted, and, as by all accounts many took part in each assault, it is clear that several hundred murderers are at large in the community. Although less than three months have passed since the riot, events have already demonstrated that the slaughter of the innocent does not deter the criminal class from committing more crimes. Rape and robbery have been committed in the city and suberbs since that time. The slaughter of the innocent does drive away good citizens — from one small neighborhood 35 families have gone. "The crimes of the mob include robbery as well as murder. In a number of cases the property of innocent and unoffensive people was taken as the result of four days of lawlessness. There are widows mourning for their husbands and husbands mourning for their wives. There are orphans, who cry out in vain for faces they will see no more. There are grown men disabled for life and all this sorrow has come to people who are absolutely innocent of any wrong-doing. The element was allowed to crucify this community in the eyes of the world and shock the moral sense of our own people." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources.

Hattiesburg, Miss., Dec. 27. The fact has leaked out that there is an immediate probability of a Negro being given a place in the local postoffice as clerk under the civil service, and at once postmaster Pitts was notified that if the Negro went in all the white clerks now employed would quit. The Postmaster has the resignation of one of the present clerks. He must fill the place from the eligibles on the waiting list. The list is exhausted, with the exception of one name, that of W. T. George, a Negro, now employed as a painter and paper hanger. The Postmaster cannot escape making to George the tender of the place. Intense feeling is felt by the public in the question whether or not the Negro will accept. Washington, Jan. 5.—The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry, including all the Negro soldiers in the regular army in this country have been ordered to prepare for service in the Philippines and will sail at different times between March 5 and June 5 of this year. The only other regiment composed of Negroes, the Twenty-fourth infantry, is now doing service in the Philippines. Other troops ordered to the Philippines are the Sixth cavalry and the Eighteenth; Twenty-sixth, Twenty ninth and Thirtieth infantry. The troops which will be relieved by the sending of these new regiments will be the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth cavalry and the Ninth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Nineteenth infantry. It was stated by Maj. Wm. Bell, chief of staff, that the Negro regiments are being sent to the Philippines because it is their turn to go and not because of any desire to get them out of the United States at this time. Spatanburg, S. C., Dec. 30.— Telegraph Operator Porter, in charge of the block station at Mount Zion, six miles from here, on the main line of the Southern Railway, was taken out of his sta- NO. 16. tion last night shortly after seven o'clock by a crowd of drunken Negroes, tied and whipped. The mob surrounded Porter, who barricaded himself in the station, and shot out windows and lights. The operator wired the train dispatcher at Sparatanburg to send help. He scarcely had finished sending the message when the Negroes broke into the station, seized and dragged him outside and beat him. Sheriff Nichols and a party of officers left on a special train, but when they arrived at Mount Zion, the Negroes had dispersed. The posse proceeded to search the woods for the members of the mob who took part in assaulting the operator. Manila, Dec. 19. The Manila American publishes today sensational assertions regarding Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing, who was recently jumped over the heads of 605 officers of superior rank and make a Brigadier-General. Prior to his nomination by the President last September, Pershing had been a captain in the Fifteenth cavalry. The newspaper alleges that Pershing while serving as a captain on the island of Mindanao, lived with a Filipino woman, Joaquina Bondoy Ignancio. One of their children died in the cholera epidemic of 1902. Another, who is four and one-half years old, lives with her mother in Zamboanga, who is now the legal wife of William Shinn, a clerk in the Muro government headquarters. Pershing began his relations with Joaquina in which he lived almost openly with her. It is understood in army circles in Manila that Colonel Morrison and Captain Swobe and three other officers who are members of General William E. Kobbe's staff, know the details of the case, and that their names will be used. Pershing was married a year ago to the daughter of United States senator Warren of Wyoming. Senator Warren is the chairman of the senate committee on military affairs. speed of the Gulf Stream.

RESIDENCE, YORK 123. 1023 19TH STREET. RESIDENCE, 2230 CLARKSON ST. LION INAUGURAL ADDRESS Many Reforms Advocated by the New Governor With the thunder of artillery and the huzzahs from thousands of throats the people for miles around have informed that with the advent of a new chief executive, Colorado has entered upon another two years of peace, prosperity and happiness. For the first time in history the inaugural services were held in a church —Trinity M. E., the building erected when the new governor was its pastor. The large auditorium was crowded to overflowing by an enthusiastic crowd who cheered generously all the newly-elected officers as they were sworn in, but were most yociferous when the chancellor was transformed into the governor. His address was listened to most attentively, and its salient points generously applauded. The following are the most interesting and important passages: Gentlemen of the Sixteenth General Assembly: A few days ago you listened to the comprehensive biennial message of Governor McDonald, who now retires from office, with the unqualified respect of all the people in Colorado. His administration has been characterized by efficiency, economy and rare practical sagacity. I am sure his recommendations will have great weight with you because expressed in the temperate language of a man who is free from prejudice. To-day we are all joining in prayers that God may give to Governor and Mrs. Jesse F. McDonald many years of life in the midst of the people whom they love so well. The work which we are expected to do in this Sixteenth General Assembly is for the most part the work which we have promised to do. The state platform of the majority of the members of this assembly contains an interesting variety of pledges. The platform of the minority contains some of the same pledges, though clothed in somewhat more lurid language. We need to keep constantly in mind the fact that we are representatives; that we represent the people to whom we have made definite and specific pledges. The majority party in this assembly is so largely in evidence that every pledge made to the people must be kept both in letter and in spirit if we expect to retain the respect and the good will of the people who have believed us to be true men. When a man accepts a nomination under a state platform, he pledges himself to carry out the program in the event that he shall come into office as a member of the General Assembly. He has no alternative on the question of keeping the party pledges, his only honorable course is to decline to accept a nomination. Every consideration of moral honesty demands that he shall keep faith with his party which is only another way of saying that he must keep faith with the people. Let us now consider these pledges in detail. First—We have promised to enact a law for the government of the railway commerce of the state in harmony with the national rate law and to create a railway commission to be elected by the people. This is a difficult and complex subject. It does not mean legislation which is hostile to the railroads. It means that, while the state gives amazing opportunities to all railway corporations, they all shall be held to a strict account for their stewardship as servants of the people. All railway legislation should have in view the development of industries, the increase of trade and the comfort of the people. We shall do nothing to drive capital away from Colorado. We shall do everything to invite both capital and people to Colorado. We need to keep constantly in mind the fact that the railroads are not public property, but capital invested in rendering a public service. This capital invested in rendering a public service has increased all other values tenfold and more. So this capital is entitled to the protection of the law precisely as all other capital—no more and no less. Not only so, but this capital shall have the protection of the law precisely as all other capital—no more and no less. If the Congress of the United States, in the eagerness to make a strong law, has succeeded in making a law which cannot be enforced without damage to both the railway and the shipper, it is evident that we must put much study into this question. The weak and impracticable parts of the national law must be omitted from our program. Our pledges on the subject of education are limited to one line, about the Agricultural College. But you need to consider the whole question of education at public expense. You will need to do some thinking on your own account if you arrive at any worthy solution of our problem. First of all you ought to give much time to the consideration of what is necessary to enrich the life of the public school proper—that is, the grade school. The recommendations of the superintendent of public instruction will help you to find the questions which need to be studied. If any changes or betterments need to be made in the school laws, you ought to make them promptly and gladly. We need to remember that character is formed for the most part in the grades. The quality of the life and work of the obscure school teacher is really determining what sort of a nation this shall be when we shall have a gigantic population of some hundreds of millions, and when we shall dominate the life of the world. I wish we could close our ears during these ninety days to the everlasting clamor of the hectoring lobbyists and think of those incoming millions of people whose quality we shall help to determine by what we are doing for boys and girls. To determine the best methods of increasing the efficiency of our four great educational institutions will require some independence on our part. We are all justly proud of these institutions. At the proper time we shall pass around the bouquets. Just now we have more serious business. We must study the whole situation and do what is necessary to put these institutions into harmony with each other. They have managed in some way to bring themselves into conflict with each other. Each one has its own specific and definite field. Why not make an end of duplications of work? President Baker tells me that the law requires him to maintain a normal and preparatory school. He should be relieved of the necessity of maintaining a high school for the city of Boulder and he should be relieved from the necessity of offering any work which brings the university into conflict with the normal school. A yet more perplexing conflict exists between the University and the Agricultural College. The definite pledging of our candidates to the enactment of a local option law awakened intense interest among the best people in the state. They are, for the most part, law-abiding, quiet, and home-loving people, who are seldom asserting themselves in political conventions. It is distinctly to the credit of the state convention of the majority party that this promise was squarely made. I beg to remind you that this is not what is called sumptuary legislation. It is not saying what a man shall eat and drink. It is not proposing to make people good by law. A moderate drinker or an immoderate drinker can go on all his life as he likes under a local option law. A local option law is just an application of the principle of the square deal to the question of the open saloon. If a majority of the people in any community want the open saloon they have the right to have it. If a majority of the people in any community do not want the open saloon they have the right to exclude it. This is a fundamental principle in our American political life. From my point of view it seems that the vote on this subject should be unanimous both in the House and in the Senate. Why should not every man in this General Assembly vote for this measure? That would bring people to Colorado by the tent of thousands. That would help to make boys and men of firm fiber. When you consider the unspeakable damage to character which comes from the open saloon you cannot avoid making haste to enact a law which will make possible the exclusion of the open saloon from those districts where the majority of the people are squarely opposed to it. The need of insurance which insurer demands the enactment of a comprehensive and conservative insurance law. The need of savings institutions which calls for a sound banking law. The need is clearly apparent of a state examiner with a sufficient number of deputies to make it possible for him to keep track of the business of all financial institutions which handle public funds, and to have a constant surveillance of all state institutions which are sustained by the taxation of the people. The need for good roads has at last awakened some enthusiasm for a law to provide for a state highway commission. We have gone on too long with out any definite plan for making good roads. One of the glories of this Sixteenth General Assembly will doubt less be the enactment of a good road law. Good homes, good schools, and good roads might well be considered to be the three essentials of civilization throughout the country district in our times. Time would fail me to speak with proper fullness about all the pledge which we have made to the people such as the need of a pure food law the importance of giving the people an opportunity to express their preference for candidates to the United States Senate, the need of legislation to prevent combinations in restraint or trade, the need of making an end of all mileage graft, and the necessity of wiping out the scandal of the vicious lobby. It ought to be an unwritten law with every legislative assembly that the use of these persistent and often sive lobbying methods by any state in situation would certainly exclude the name of that institution from any list of special appropriations. We cannot escape the conviction that there are many necessary things that need to be done, because the life of our state grows and expands every year in a phenomenal way. We need to keep ourselves free from prejudice that we may find the best ways of doing all the things that need to be done. It will require some courage to refuse to listen to the urgent demands that will be made upon us to under take the things that ought not to be done. You are safe if you think about those hundreds of thousands of plains and purposeful people—the common people—who never call you up on the phone and never send you telegrams or letters and never sit up with you at your hotels and never throng the lobbies of the state house. This is serious business which is committed to you and to me. We cannot do it creditably unless we have sufficient breadth of view and strength of character to keep on terms of mutual respect. Notwithstanding occasional differences of opinion it ought to be possible for us all to work with becoming industry to make a notable record of constructive and wholesome legislation. Let us now stand reverently before God and ask His blessing upon us and upon our work. 1905. 1906.

Count Prosper D'Epinay, who has been decorated in Paris by the British ambassador with the Victorian Order, is in the odd position of being a British subject and yet a Frenchman at the same time. He was born in the island of Mauritius some 65 years ago. The island, of course, is inhabited by a French-speaking population and once formed part of the territories of France. Both the count's parents being French, the count is regarded in France as a Frenchman, but being born under the British flag he is just as surely a British subject. 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. Knows Whom He Can Trust.

Wellock, of 114 Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass., the wife of an employee in the government works at Chelsea, says: "I had been troubled with nervousness for ten years and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learned that I was suffering from locomotor ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in my right leg which would get rigid and when this happened in the street I had to stand still until it passed away to keep from falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were pricking it. The sheet touching my knee in bed would nearly cause me to scream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand. "I had to use a cane and be helped about by my son. Then the pain began to settle in the calves of my legs and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up tight and the terrible shooting pains in my legs would nearly drive me insane. My toes became numb and at times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes became dull and black spots floated be fore them. My heart was very weak. "My attention was called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I bought several boxes right away and soon felt relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Scheecteney, N. Y.

They are multiplying by the scores. Many of these new publications will only have a short, brief life on the sea of current literature; others will have longer, but only a few will endure. The Colorado Statesman wants to call your attention to some of the best reading material on the market. It is not our purpose to advertise journals, but to call the attention of our readers to some of the best articles in current literature. To-morrow is a Philistine journal of the new thought school. The January number contains an article on the race question that is worth reading. It is written in a liberal spirit and does credit to the race and the author. Another article, "Why Chicago has a Negro Theater," is in the same issue, and is worth a careful perusal. This page will continue from week to week to call attention to some leading article on the race question in magazines, so as to save you time and expense of browsing through the flood of current literature to find something to read. GOVERNOR BUCHTEL NOW. Henry A. Buchtel was duly inaugurated Governor, Tuesday at noon at Trinity church, where he took the oath of office and delivered his first state message to the General Assembly and the people. The other elected officers of the state and Supreme Court judges were sworn and formally inducted into office. The Decorations, flag display, booming of cannon, military pageant, and college display, befitting the ceremony, was all that could be asked, and gave a fine exhibition of interest the people of the state have in the new administration. Governor's Buchtel's message shows clearly that he is not a novice in public affairs, but knows something about good government as well as pedagogy and theology. It clearly shows that ministers are not recluses, or buried in the records of the past, or illusions of the future, but are up-to-date and wide-awake as to the issues of the present. The address was strong and to the point, explicit in its details and constructive in its measures. It gave unstinted praise to his predecessor, and pledged the present administration to carry out its platform and promise to the people, and served notice that no bill containing graft would meet his endorsement. His treatment of legislation for the railroads, local option laws, safety appliances for the protection of life, and education, showed a mental grasp and a thorough acquaintance with the subjects. The need of revised insurance laws, banking laws, and improvements in the penal, reformatory and charitable institutions of the state were urged without reservation. This message will repay a careful reading. It will acquaint each one with the varied and important duties resting upon a governor, as well as the obligations of the private citizens. Colorado is to be congratulated that its new pilot is neither to be a figurehead nor the creature or tool of a party, but has ideas of his own, coupled with vision and judgment as to how things are to be done. We congratulate you, Governor Buchtel, and wish for your administration every degree of success. LAWLESSNESS FOR 1906 The year that has closed marks in its trail the blood of victims who have met their deaths at the hands of the mob. The number to perish by this distinction from American barbarity was seventy-three. Mississippi takes the lead in the fifteen states where lynching occurred during the year. Colorado managed to squeeze into the bunch of lawless states with a lynching on the last day of the old year. Sixty-nine of the total strung were Negroes, leaving only three whites who came to their death in this high-handed way, as one of the totals was a colored woman. Instead of lynching being put down, it increased over the previous year, where the total number to meet death without process of law was sixty-five. Fifteen states disgraced themselves in the work of illegal taking of life, as follows: Alabama, five; Arkansas, four; Colorado, one; Florida, six; Georgia, nine; Indian Territory, one; Kentucky, three; Louisiana, nine; Mississippi, thirteen; Maryland, one; Missouri, three; North Carolina, five; South Carolina, five; Tennessee, two; Texas, six. The method of butchery was as follows: forty-three were hanged, twenty-one shot in the open; two shot in jail while awaiting for trial, two hanged and shot, four hanged and burned, one shot and burned. The causes for which these people met their death forms an interesting study, and shows with what slight provocation the mob spirit is aroused. For criminal assault, fourteen; attempted criminal assault, nineteen; assault and murder, one; murder, fifteen; attempt at murder, eleven; murder and robbery, one; double murder, one; triple murder, three; quadruple murder, one; miscegenation, one; improper proposal, one; carrying pistol, one; theft of a calf, one; theft of a dollar, one; disorderly conduct, one. This is the bloody record of 1906. When it is seen that twelve of these lynchings occurred on twelve different Sundays, you get some idea of the disregard for life and the sacrilegious respect for the civil or church quiet and rest. This is nothing to the great throng who witnessed this carnival of lawlessness, and are therefore worse in their morals because of it. America has a great deal to atone for, and the blood of the Negro will cry from the ground for vengeance. Many whites wear the mark of Cain on their conscience that water cannot cleanse. LET THERE BE LIGHT. There has always been a suspicion in the mind of the informed people that the Atlanta riot and Kemper county, Mississippi, disturbance on Christmas day, did not have its origin with the bad Blacks. We have steadily waited for new light on these recent disturbances. Now the light has come. We urge that you read carefully the article following, from the Chicago Tribune, a fearless and outspoken organ of the people: THE 'BAD WHITE' PROBLEM. An investigating committee of the business men of Atlanta has been at work to discover, if possible, the real facts connected with the race riot there some months ago. At the time prominent citizens said that wicked Negroes were to blame, and even where regret was expressed that the good name of the city had been stained by reason of the excitement, the impression left was clear that it was the black men who were at the bottom of the affair and not the white. The results of the inquiry, made in a time of quiet and order, show that the rioting was due to the acts of the "tough element" among the whites. It is easy to compare Negroes with white men in such a way as to lead to the idea that all white men are good and all Negroes inclined to be bad. The truth, of course, is that the South had its fair proportion of wicked white men, and that the hoodlum element among the whites comes to the front in times of excitement in a southern city just as it does in a northern community. The Atlanta investigation revealed, also, that the twelve Negroes who were killed and the seventy who were wounded were honest, industrious and valuable members of society. There was not a single vagrant in the lot. They were humble citizens who were earning wages in sufficient amount to support themselves and their families. There is no doubt that it was a case of the slaughter of the innocents, and it is stated that many others of similar circumstances have moved away because of the riot, thus taking valuable people from the community. Testimony of the same sort is given in connection with the recent disturbances in Kemper county, Mississippi. The proseecuting attorney says that the bad whites were at the bottom of the whole thing and not the Negroes. The South has a a "Negro problem," but it also has a "bad white" problem. It would have less trouble with the first if it were not for the last. If the intelligent, industrious property owning men of the South would administer the rigor of the law to city and village hoodlums there would not be so many dispatches about "race wars" and no more butchers like those of Atlanta. The decent Negroes will be much more likely to put down the bad men of their own color if the decent whites will put down the bad men of their color who find their chief happiness in the murder of the blacks. This investigation was not the work of a Negro investigator, but of whites composed of business men and merchants, who had no hesitancy in giving the unvarnished truth. The Mississippi investigation was made by the Kemper county prosecuting attorneys, who could not be charged with having any special love for the Negro or sympathy for the results. May we not infer from these two investigations that the recent Brownville, Texas, trouble had a similar origin, and when the whole facts are known the Negro will be vindicated? This article should be read and kept by every Negro in the country and when he is assailed as the originator or foment of trouble it ought to be shown that it is possible that the cause may be originated by others than himself. The Black Hundred. Fifty years! Fifty years! How stands the verdict? Still in the shadow of doubt Gropes the Black Hundred. Upward the black brigade "Insist on your rights, was said, Even 'gainst threats of death' Forward! Black Hundred. Forward the black brigade Are hearts despondent made? Not though the ranks well know Some great one has stumbled. What use to make 'Resolve' Or indeed to question 'Why' Our's is to strive, to die, Staggered by oppression's acts, Onward! Black Hundred. "Jim Crow" at Mt. Vernon's gate "Jim Crow" in church and state, "Jim Crow" by boat or car Points ever the way. Forward on with hate of hell Nobly they strove and well, Out from slavery's death Into freedom's fierce breath Came the Black Hundred. A just pride is their soldier's right Wrong and insult resenting with might, Challenging their critics there, Denouncing objectors while The world itself pondered. Steeped in distress and gloom Cracker and lyncher too Fearing a wrath so just Stood trembling and humbled. Jaws firmly set, life's work in the breach, Loyal each, man to man, They are noble and grand Glorious Black Hundred. "Pitchfork" to right of them "Chain and ball" to left of them "Clansmen" behind them Violent and threatening. Destroyers mad, with yell and hiss, Mother and boy, old man and Miss Spotless of guilt, dragged to a death By torch, rope or stick. And at the last a scorn-laden kick; Then the mob retires in "orderly" form While souls of the Black Hundred Forever march on. When will our Nation stand Firm! on "equal rights" for man All the world wonders. Moral courage is the one great need That will strike castes shackles from the freed Patient Black Hundred. —JOHN H. PAYNTER, Washington, D. C. Spinster Tells Why Her Sisterhood Sticks to Tabbies. "If I had a dog," mused the old maid, as she surveyed her sleek, sleeping puss, "there are several things I would not do. I wouldn't go calling with him on a friend that owned a cat. In fact, I wouldn't take him calling at all, to see him run around my friend's house and chew up a pair of rubbers or anything else he might fancy. "I wouldn't permit him to jump on a caller's dress, leaving his dirty footprints on her best gown, and sometimes tearing it with his paws. "I wouldn't tie him up and go off for the day, while he made life miserable for the neighbors with his steady howling. "I wouldn't take him shopping and get him mixed up with all the other shoppers. "I wouldn't permit him to hop on the seat beside me in a car, so that the next woman who sat down after he had vacated would cover her gown with dog hairs and probably take on a flea or two. "I wouldn't interrupt conversation to call attention to how cunningly he cocked his head on one side, or how white his teeth showed when he yawned. "I wouldn't permit him to salute me with his tongue, and then say, rapturously, 'See how he kisses me!' "I wouldn't tell about his valorous deeds in killing cats, and make no mention of the many times that a two-by-four kitten had made him turn tail and run for his life. "I wouldn't—well, I wouldn't have a dog anyway, as long as there were cats in this world." And she went out to get the sleeping puss a saucer of cream. THE MAY CO.

NEGRO COOKS INSTALLED 一 The inaugural of Negro cooks on the Denver & Rio Grande Dining Car System this week is an avocation for which the race should be proud as positions of this character on this road has heretofore been closed to the Negro. Three crews have thus far been put in the service and have performed their duties in a manner that has brought fourth much praise. While the Rio Grande people deserves high commendation for making places for colored men, the man responsible for the change being made is Mr. Lawrence Stephen, who has, for sometime, been in frequent conversation with the officials advocating the above result. There is perhaps no one individual in the West that has accomplished more for the race than has Mr. Stephen, as this one instance alone means volumes in our industrial avenues, saying nothing of the scores of people of the race that he has put in responsible and creditable positions. Such a man is indeed a credit to the race and to the community and we join with the citizens of Denver in extending the of congratulation to him for his great accomplishments.

A Touch of Luxury Which a Young Woman Finds it Profitable to Supply. There is always a demand for hand painted buttons for women's gowns, and one young woman in New York is making a comfortable living by painting buttons of all shapes and sizes. Just now she is rushed with orders. She has many private customers, and when she has no demand from these she keeps busy anyway. No matter how many painted buttons she has she finds no trouble in disposing of them. Dressmakers take all she brings to them, but do not pay nearly as well as her own customers. However, the prices she receives, even from dressmakers, would keep her comfortably and supply all her wants—there is such demand for her work. The young woman has been painting buttons for several years. She does her work at home. She paints only flowers on the buttons, but where they are wanted for a gown of a particular color she makes her work correspond with the color of the gown. He Knew the Train. A traveler went into a Union avenue barber shop one morning to get a shine and decided to inquire about his train. "Say," he said, addressing the negro bootblack, "what time does the Missouri Pacific leave for St. Louis this morning?" "Yoh mean the one that makes the daylight run?" queried the negro. "Yes, that's the one," said the man. "It ah the train that connect wif the one frum Leavenswuth, ain't it?" asked the bootblack as he brushed away. "Yes." "Runs fru Wahnbsu'gh?" "Yes." "An' Jeffahon City?" "Yes." "Ah knows the train yoh means, all right. Stan's on the secon' er thud track, doan' it?" "I think it does." "Changes engines—. Le's see. Wha do that train change engines?" "I don't know," came from the man. "What I want to know is its leaving time." "Ah knows jes' what yoh wants, an Ah knows jes' 'xactly what train yah means." "Well, when does it leave?" "Oh, yes, when do it leave? Ah's suah Ah doan' know 'bout, that boss," was the negro's reply.—Kansas City Times. Wifely Wit. Mr. McSosh—Great guns! I'm all out of breath.

Younger Journal Had Somewhat the Best of the Exchange. It was Heine, wasn't it, who declared that the ass was chiefly created for the purpose of comparison. From Wales, then, comes the report that a new weekly paper has just made its appearance, and that among other advertisements was this one: "Bassinette for Sale. Apply this office." A bassinette is a species of cradle. In a rival newspaper this advertisement was reproduced in a bantering article, which pointed out that the new paper had come to stay." "When the parents of a journalistic infant," said the article, "sell their bassinette, they adopt tactics similar to those old-time adventurers who, deciding that for them there was no turning back, burned their boats to prevent the possibility of retreat." But the same issue or this joking journal containing the following advertisement: "For Sale—An ass; very strong and quiet. Apply at the office. It was now the younger journal's turn to reproduce, and it unkindly added, "Comment is needless." The World's Ivory Market Antwerp still remains the world's ivory market as it was centuries ago, and every three months there is a great sale of ivory tusks from all the jungles and wild countries of the earth. Cause for Alarm. "Say, doctor," exclaimed an excited man as he dashed into the pill dispenser's private office, "I want you to make an examination as to my sanity." "What reason have you for believing yourself a candidate for the padfed coli?" asked the M. D. "Well, I happened to run across a package of letters this morning that wrote to my wife during our courtship," was the significant reply. Going Rapidly. PAY OF STATESMEN. Denmark Is Stingiest of All with Her Legislators. The Norwegian member of parliament gets only 13 shillings a day, and if the hard-working legislator takes a day off he loses his pay, says London Answers. The same is the case with members of the Swiss diet. They are rewarded with 16 shillings a day, on condition that they do not absent themselves from work. To go further east, we find that Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth one pound sterling a day. Sixteen shillings a day is the salary of those who compose the Bulgarian sobranje, but members who live in the capital get 12 shillings daily. Denmark is about the stingiest of all European countries, so far as remunerating her lawmakers is concerned. Danish members of parliament get but six shillings eight pence a day; but, on the other hand, they have the odd privilege of a free seat in the Royal theater at Copenhagen. While the members of the German reichstag are not salaried, yet the lawmakers of the various German states do not work for nothing. Saxe-Coburg members of parliament are paid 13 shillings, of Bavaria ten, and of Hesse nine. At first sight Hungary seems to do her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for her members get £200 a year in cash. But they are not so badly off, after all, for a liberal allowance is made into the bargain for house rent. Austria-Hungary's two legislative assemblies cost the country about £160,000 a year in all. Both the Austrian and Hungarian legislators can travel first-class with second-class tickets. Besides the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain are the only countries which pay nothing to their members of parliament. Nevertheless, the cost of the Italian parliament is estimated at £85,000 a year. In Portugal, also, the state does not remunerate legislators, but they receive free railway passes, and their constituencies are legally permitted to pay those who represent them a sum of about 15 shillings for each day of the session.

If women would only bear in mind that they may need the world's good word themselves some day they would be more careful in what they say and how they say it. Charity is of thought as well as deed. It is not restricted to the feeding of the hungry and the clothing of the poor. It is as much needed among the rich as among any other class. A woman is a blessing to humanity who tempers justice with mercy, and who keeps her verdicts to herself when she sits in judgment on her friends. Eir Stump of Odd Design. Posing as an altar in the Grant's Pass (Or) lodgeroom is an odd-looking fir stump, its top shaped like a human head. Even the features grew there naturally and except for a little carving to improve one eye, no alteration was necessary after a woodman discovered the curio in the midst of the forest. A right ear is the only lacking feature. There is even a beard—represented by a white fungus growth. The First Glass Cups. The first glass cups were made at Alexandria. Some were colored like Bohemia glass and decorated with glass pastes, imitating precious stones and cameos. Some were opaline, others clear as crystal and still others formed of opaque layers welded together like the famous Portland vase, in which the white upper layer had been cut away like that of a cameo, leaving a blue ground around the figures. Derrick Named for Hangman. A derrick is an innocent mechanical apparatus for lifting heavy weights, but it gets its name from an English hangman called Derrick, who fountished many years ago. The people of that time thought that the device used only in the hangman's trade resembled the more common mechanism which now bears his surname. Somewhat similarly, the term rufian is believed by many to have come from Morocco, where the inhabitants of the Riff country were and are pirates and altogether persons of exile character.

SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR Work Formally Begun on the Building Denver Has So Long Needed.—Many Prominent Citizens Wield Shovels on First Wagon Load of Earth. Denver.—With short and informal ceremony the breaking of ground for Denver's new auditorium took place Thursday. The crowd gathered at Fourteenth and Curtis streets at 10 o'clock. Laborers to the number of 130 were on hand, and there were forty teams. Governor H. A. Buchtel, Mayor R. W. Speer and President A. J. Spengel of the Chamber of Commerce each possessed himself of a shovel and began the good work. They cast numerous shovelfulows of dirt into a wagon, and were so energetic about it that they soon became exhausted and stepped back to permit other officials and prominent citizens to take an active part in the ceremony, many of whom did so with great alacrity. The street was filled with automobiles and wagons, while a large crowd of people surrounded the wagon into which the first load of dirt was thrown. Governor Buchtel delivered a short address. He said, in part: "This is an occasion in which I take great pleasure. I am flattered to have the opportunity of being present. I've been told that there were three things I might do—deliver a set address, tell stories, or shovel dirt. I think I'll tell stories. "In the governor's office at the State House there are the pictures of past governors. Boosters, all of them When I gaze upon their likenesses I am led to compare myself as a booster with what they were. They were hard to equal. There was one who was an enthusiastic railroad dreamer. (Gover nor Gilpin) He governed when the railroads were coming and were para mount in the minds of all Coloradors. This man had the enthusiasm of drawing projected railroad lines, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the 1stmusm of Panama; from Denver to Bering strait and over the strait to Siberia on a gigantic imaginary bridge And Denver, he said, was at the very center of this gigantic railroad system He was a booster. The only reasons he did not make that system greater was that there were no more conti nents to annex. "Then there was Governor Evans. I knew him will. I remember at one time when an enthusiast said that in twenty-five years Denver would have grown so large that it would push Chicago into Lake Michigan, and on the same day tumble San Francisco into the Pacific. 'You're all right, all right, said the governor, 'but it won't take any twenty-five years.'" Mayor Speer said that the building would make Denver the greatest convention city in America, and that the people of Denver would be proud of their new auditorium. President Spengel spoke of the ability of Constructor Schleuter of Chicago to carry out his agreements and believed that the auditorium would be finished in thirteen months, as Schleuter had promised. COLORADO SCHOOL FUND. Apportioned to the Several Counties of the State. Denver.—Miss Katherine L. Craig state superintendent of public instruction, has notified the state auditor's of fice that the semi-annual apportionment of the public school fund had been completed.

Milk Carries Tuberculosis. Washington.—In a most remarkable report, published as a bulletin by the bureau of animal industry of the Department of Agriculture, warning is sounded as to the danger of tuberculosis being communicated to human beings through cows. The bulletin embodies a report of experiments that have been conducted by Dr. E. C. Schroeder and W. E. Cotton of the experiment station of the bureau of animal industry. The experts, as the results of the investigations, insist that tuberculosis is contracted through the entrance of the subercule bacilli, and that the lung is the organ affected regardless of where the bacilli enter the body. Fleet Not Coming. Tokio.—The Japanese government has decided that on account of the anti-Japanese agitation on the Pacific coast the training squadron will not visit the Pacific coast, but will go as far as Honolulu only. Lassa's former secret is said to have been more of a general superstition than a fact. Though no European army has before entered its gates, they have not always been closed to the discreet traveler. A cording to a recent writer Warren Hastings, keenly aware of Lassa's importance, sent an envoy thither—one Bogle—as early as 1774. Thomas Manning, the friend of Charles Lamb, passed four months within the walls of the sacred city, and left behind him an eloquent description. He was even granted an audience with the dalal lama, a boy of 7. Improvement in Japan's Laws. Japan's laws have been greatly improved during the last fifteen years. Decapitation and torture have been abolished and hanging remains the sole method of inflicting the death penalty. Instead of the 250 crimes calling for the full penalty of the law under the old system, capital punishment is now threatened for only four crimes. Penal servitude, imprisonment with or without hard labor, fines and police supervision are the punishments inflicted for the minor crimes. Corporal punishment is no longer permitted. Linen From Wood Pulp. Fifty years ago practically all the paper in use was made from rags—preferably linen rags. To-day most of it is made from wood pulp. Now, if the plans of certain experimenters are carried out, the linen itself, or a good substitute for it, will be made from wood pulp. Artificial silk made from pulp has for some time been on the market, and the demand is said to exceed the supply. A process has been patented for spinning many different sorts of fabric from moist pulp. Notice is hereby given that Edna B. Griswold of Bennett, Colorado, has filed notice of his intention to make final commutation proof in support of the claim of the defendant, N. 22024, made October 28, 1905, for the S.

The contract for building the new auditorium at Denver, has been let to H. W. Schluector of Chicago, whose bid was $416,000. The plans call for a magnificent structure. Harry Riddle, Carlton M. Bliss, George W. Allen, Greeley W. Whitford and Hubert L. Shattuck, the new judges of the District Court at Denver, were sworn in by Chief Justice Gabbert on the 7th inst. The new governor's name is pronounced as if it were spelled Booktite. The Retail Merchants' Association of Colorado will hold their convention at Pueblo, January 15th and 16th, the program including a big banquet. The Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway Company, owning the Colorado Springs street car system, have announced an increase in wages of 2 cents to $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents an hour to all motormen and conductors.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT. That from Natural Springs is Generally Most Nearly Pure. The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most indispensable of all the seasoning substances both as a relishing condiment and a well-nigh universal food preservative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pictorial Review. Formerly salt was obtained by evaporating ocean water, a process that left many impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of its exposure to all kinds of dirt in its shipment from seaports. The Turk's island or rock salt, which is still largely used in pork packing and in the manufacture of ice creams, comes to the United States in holds of vessels continually subjected to dirt and foul odors. Upon its arrival it is again handled, then packed in coarse burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,000,000 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing a large proportion of this important supply. OLD CAPT. CACK'S QUESTION. Somewhat Pointed, But It Denoted Quick Intelligence. Pierce Jay, the commissioner of banks of Massachusetts, at the American Bankers' association's convention in St. Louis, advocated a better accounting system. "But above all," said Mr. Jay, in a discussion of his idea, "we want intelligence, if embezzlement is to be thoroughly put down. Systems are good, but intelligence is better, and in cashiers and tellers and Look-keepers and note clerks we want the same keen, quick intelligence that characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack, of Gloucester. "Cack lay very ill. One day he got down-hearted, feeling that his case was hopeless. "I fear, doctor,' he said, 'there isn't much hope for me.' "Oh, yes, there is,' the doctor answered. 'Three years ago I was in your condition precisely, and look at me now.' "Cack, intelligent and alert, said quickly: "What doctor did you have?" Surely Had Helped. While the child labor bill was under discussion in the senate Mr. Piles said he did not approve of some provisions in the measure, adding: "Under the bill as it now stands I would not be permitted to employ my own son in my law office if he were under 14 years of age." "Would you," Senator Beveridge interrupted quickly, "put a son under 14 years of age at work in your office if you desired to train him to be a lawyer?" "I went into my father's office," said Senator Piles with dignity, "at the age of 13." "Did it help?" queried the Indiana senator. "Yes. I am here." Then the sedate senate chuckled. Whine from Henry James. Henry James, pursuing his theme, "The Speech of American Women," speaks of a group of Boston young women, "all articulating as from sore mouths, all mumbling and whining and vocally limping and shuffling as it were together." He compares, also to its great disadvantage, a school where parents pay so much not to have their boys taught to speak as gentlemen, with one "beyond the sea, in which the proviso that the schoolmaster shall speak as a gentleman is so absolutely vital." NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Her to Health. "My food was killing me and I didn't know the cause," writes a Colo. young lady. "For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism. "I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better. "Finally, about five weeks ago, mother suggested that I try Grape-Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. "To-day I am well and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks and do not suffer any more from indigestion and the rheumatism is all gone. "I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and never tire of it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheumatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimilation. As soon as improper food is abandoned and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly, digestion is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the system. The result is a certain and steady return to normal health and mental activity. "There's a reason." Read the little book "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. BLOATED WITH DROPSY. The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West Fourth street, Olympia, Wash., says: "For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

Fallieres was until recently believed to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades he is always accompanied by a friend who could easily be taken for the president's private secretary. Dignified and with measured steps the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides. Safe, Sure and Speedy. No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully, as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine. New York Philanthropist. Dr. Adelaide Wallerstein, rich, young and handsome, has turned part of her elegant New York home into a physician's office. Here she devotes about six hours a day to practicing medicine, all the income so derived going to her charity work on the east side of the city. Mrs. Wallerstein is accomplished and socially prominent, but has given up most of her society pleasures for her professional and charitable work. Restored by American Money. Charilton, the ancestral home of the earl of Suffolk, is once more the scene of glories of the olden time since the marriage of the earl and Miss Daisy Leiter. It is a fine Jacobean mansion of dark sandstone, with mullioned windows and carved stone portals, and contains many treasures of art, including the family portraits. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

Correspondent Had No Time to Waste with Vice President. Vice President Fairbanks stopped a newspaper man the other day, and good-naturedly asked explanation of an incident which happened years ago. On that occasion Mr. Fairbanks and the correspondent were chatting pleasantly, when suddenly the latter moved away to meet Senator Chandler of Maine. The vice president said: "I have always had great curiosity to know why you deserted me that day." The newspaper man hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Vice President, you are a mighty dry source of news. You may have a nose for news, but I doubt it; at any rate, you never give up any. Now, when a newspaper man is gunning for big, live news he hasn't got time to stop and exchange small talk with a man, even if he be a senator, who would not know the price of news if he saw it." Mr. Fairbanks smiled. "I thank you for your frankness," he said. "I see I shall have to cultivate a nose for news." ALMOST A SOLID SORE. Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune Spent on Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticura. "I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. G— suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer, and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her she was well. Mrs.W. P.

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned toxics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

Heiskell's Ointment Cures Skin Diseases For half a century Heiskell's Ointment has been used in all cases of skin disease with most gratifying results. Many have become entirely cured who had suffered untold pain and annoyance for years. One man in New Baltimore, Pa., writes that it cured him when he was raw all over. A lady in Philadelphia cured a case of tetter of six years' standing in fourteen days, while a man in Allentown, Pa., cured his case of eczema that had troubled him for eleven years with less than two boxes of the ointment. These and hundreds of others have found that Heiskell's Ointment is worth more than its weighting gold. Being a purely vegetable preparation, Heiskell's Ointment soothes and heals where others fail. It allays the itching and burning common to all skin disease, and all yield quickly to its magic influence. There are many varieties of skin diseases with confusing titles, but they are all susceptible to one and the same cure—Heelskell's Ointment. No one need suffer long if afflicted with any skin disease not of a constitutional character if they will apply this remedy. This includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, pruritus, head, tetter, ringworm, blackheads, psoriasis, pimples, freckles.

In all cases of skin disease cures are hastened by the use of Heelskell's Ointment, and is particularly as rash, eruptions and abrasions. It cleans perfectly, and in the bath is a great luxury.

MANY Denver, Colorado Denver, Colo LATE STYLES IN DRESS · HANDSOME OUTDOOR COSTUMES · Some Important Dress Accessories Some Important Dress Accessories To the outside world there seems to be no method in the changing kaleidoscope of fashion. A string of innovations is madly adopted, to be dropped again as quickly, and fashion resolves itself into an everlasting race after the newest ideas, and the very latest expressions thereof. But this is on the surface of things. At heart, fashion remains faithful to the period that has inspired her for quite a season or two, oftener more. Only one period no longer suffices her. We have two or three, and with glorious inconsequence we mingle Empire and Louis XVI, Directoire audacities and 1830 demureness. Just a glimpse of the one, a note of the other, all is forgiven when results are as charming as they are to-day. A new fancy in smart gowns is to have the short sleeves made of chiffon or lace, no matter what the arrangement of the rest of the corsage may be. There is a band at or just under the elbow of the velvet or whatever the material of the gown is, but the puff of the sleeve top above that is entirely, or all but so, of a delicate fabric. It has a rather odd look at first; it seems as if the maker of the gown had run short of stuff for her sleeves—but on the contrary, it is a fashion of the moment, and marks a good modiste's production—not, of course, that all the sleeves are so constructed, but that the idea has not yet penetrated beyond the best designers. The costume to the left in our large illustration is made of bright navy blue herring-bone cloth, the herring-bone stripes being about half an inch wide. In the skirts the material is cut on the cross, the stripes meeting in a central seam in front. A deep hem of the material is turned up at the bottom with a line of stitching, and above this is a band of blue panne, six inches wide, perpendicularly striped with black silk braid, a line In the millinery world it becomes hourly more and more evident that cock's feathers are enjoying a 1. Dinner blouse in delicate tinted mousselline-de-soie, with square of guipure as a vest, and frills edged with ribbon. 2. Corsage in pink Messaline, with bands of Oriental gold and colored embroidery, and collar and cuffs of dark wine-colored velvet; lace vest. triumphant reign! They are to be comon felt hats of all shapes and of which bordered the band of panne at the top. The bolero fastened across the front with a trimming of black silk braid and tiny buttons, and is bordered all round by a band of panne striped with braid, as on the skirt. The sleeves, which reach half way between elbow and wrist, have a similar trimming of panne and braid with buttons at the back, and the severity of the little coat is relieved by hanging motifs of the blaack braid in front. The smart military collar of blue panne is finished at each side by a touch of Oriental embroidery in green and mauve, relieved by a tiny gold cord. The second costume pictured is of petunia cloth, and, as will be seen, the skirt is perfectly plain, except for the panel effect in front given by a line at either side of narrow velvet buttons. There is a line of the same velvet round the bottom of the skirt, above several rows of narrow tucks in the cloth, which gives a finish to the skirt without detracting from the desired effect of simplicity. The cloth bodice is somewhat full, and falls over a deep draped belt of petunia silk; it opens in front to show a vest of white lace of a most original kind, with raised flowers in high relief. The fronts of the bodice are ornamented with velvet buttons, which also adorn the full cloth sleeves to the elbow, where the beautiful lace is again shown, as it is in the cuff, which comes well below the elbow and is edged with a band of velvet. A narrow band of the same velvet edges the high collarband of lace, and is most becoming in its effect against the skin. To go with this charming gown is a hat of petunia velvet, the brim very wide at one side, where it is turned up with an enormous bow of satin ribbon, while velvet roses in all shades of petunia and tulle adorn the wide crown. colors, but they give the best effects when combined with silk beaver in shades of grey-blue or "peach." Cock's feather in a somber shade of "dead black" look exceedingly chic on pale blue felt hats, handsome bows of black satin ribbons being arranged at one side of the curved brim and underneath, resting on the hair, one or two pure white camelias. Hat pins never were a more prominent feature of the headgear than they are now. Instead of being tucked away as much out of sight as possible behind folds of trimming, the hatpin of the hour is aggressive and seeks as much display as may be. There are some with big heads looking like Dresden china that are much used; and other popular ones are imitation tortoise shell. Some excellent simulations of flowers, especially of the large czar violets, are made, and form a good finish to folds of velvet in harmonizing colors. The handsome umbrellas and parasols of the season have never before been in such variety and beauty, especially in handles. Crystal is popular both for trimming and for whole handles and there are beautiful things in carved ivory set in gold, in jade, in lapis lazuli, etc. Handsome black handles are of polished black onyx with narrow encircling bands of cut crystal and particularly chic umbrellas have slender polished wood handles merely capped with gold in which is set a single cabochon stone covering almost the entire end and showing only a narrow rim of the gold. Handwrought balls of gold or silver on slender polished wood handles are also very smart and handsome. A novelty among the fine silk umbrellas is one in heavy black silk with a three-inch hem of color, all of the most fashionable colors being represented. 823 Sixteenth St. When You want Snappy, Stylish Shoes for Men and Women at $350 a pair Don't Waste Time . .

In a recent report he says that the food fishes of Hawaii are rapidly disappearing because of the slaughter of those not fully grown. Ignorant natives and Japanese laborers are responsible. Besides using small mesh nets they have a method of making a catch which is thus described by Mr. Herring: "The natives use a mixture or combination of herbs known as auhuhu or akia, a ball of which when deposited at the bottom of a pond frequented by fish acts in the nature of chloroform, putting the fish to sleep. When the fish rise to the surface the natives gather them up, and they are sold or eaten like other fish. "There does not appear to be any harmful effect from the use of this drug after the fish are cooked, for the Hawaiians eat fish killed in this manner with impunity. But the action of the drug is the same on all fish within the radius of its influence, and the young suffer death as well as the larger fish. "The present law provides a penalty for fishing with dynamite, but does not cover this method of destroying the fish." On Mr. Herring's suggestion a new protective law has been introduced in the Hawaiian Legislature. LEFT THEM BOTH GUESSING. Trick of Traveler That Caused Coolness Between Companions. "Courtesy always pays," said Mme. Rejane, the French actress, to an interviewer. "If we are courteous to people, they like us and they try to help us. If we are discourteous to them, they hate us and oppose us. "Two women occupied a compartment in a railway carriage with one man, a stranger. They were extremely rude to this man. In whispers that he could overhear, they criticised his costume, his figure and his manner. He, to be revenged, did a singular thing. "The blackness of a tunnel enveloped the car, and under cover of the darkness the man kissed the back of his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then, when the train entered the light again, he looked from one woman to the other with a significant smile. "They exchanged glances of suspicion. "Was it you he kissed?" "No, of course not. Was it you? "And neither lady would believe the other's denial, and each, in her inmost heart, was offended to think that the man had chosen her companion instead of herself to kiss. The man looked cool and complacent. When, finally, he rose to go, he said, lifting his hat with a jocular air: "Have no fear, ladies. I shall never tell which of you it was." In Fifty Games a Man Lifts a Total of Six Tons. Bowlers declare that it is a more severe physical strain to bowl fifty games than to play one game of football. It does not seem as hard, of course, to shoot balls down an alley as to tackle 200 pounds of live beef, but it is the game that makes the work easier and the results far more satisfactory. The fifty games to be rolled is equal to 500 frames or innings for each bowler, in this number of frames, not figuring the added balls for strikes in every tenth, there would probably be an average of 160 strikes. For strikes the bowling ball is handled once, and for the 300 spares twice, a total of 840 times that the ball is sent down the alleys. A regulation bowling ball weighs 16 pounds. When handled 840 times the total weight is 13,440 pounds, or more than six tons. The time in which the 50-game match is to be played is variously estimated at from six to eight hours. Figured at seven hours, which is about the maximum and conservative estimate, it will be seen that the bowlers handle the weight of nearly seven tons at the rate of a ton an hour, or more than 300 pounds every minute. The runway over which the bowler moves to the foul line is nearly 20 feet in length, and the 840 times in which each delivers the ball makes a total of nearly 17,000 feet. To this must be added the further distance to the ball rack, to the seats of the players and possibly to the mahogany—for bowlers have been known to crook an elbow for other things than delivering a ball—adding enough in distance to make a grand total of more than five miles of pedestrian work in the seven hours on the alleys What Were Life Without Its Dreams Take out of life those blissful drowsing moments when the youthful orator has foreseen himself holding a multitude in the hollow of his hand, moving them to laughter or tears at will, or even by the sheer power of his eloquence compelling a jury to free the confessed murderer; deprive the country girl, trudging her way to school, of the vision of an entire court, including both of their gracious majesties, bowing before her loveliness; bar even the wretched player of golf from conjuring before the eye of his mind a perfect game, stroke by stroke, made with such grace, power and precision as to be regarded by a thousand onlookers as truly marvelous; rob statesman of his mental picture of countless generations reverently holding his memory as that of the greatest of the great; steal from the composer the anticipation of slipping shyly from his high chair while the great house resounds with fitting applause of the most impelling opera ever written; take from the girl in the choir the weekly vision between hymns of the ultimate triumph of voice and beauty; and what is left but husks of life? To actual achievement, and to even dreary realism their due; but not less appropriate to the reverie of life than to the sleep of death is the exclamation of the poet, What dreams may come— George Harvey in North American Review. When He Lost at Poker. "I can always tell whether my husband wins or loses at poker," said the woman in a red princess gown at an afternoon tea the other day. "I always know when my husband wins," said a woman in pink. "If he wins he makes peace with me by buying a present, but it is only when he wins that I am told of the game at all. On other occasions when he comes in late it is always because of a pressing business engagement that he had to keep 'My husband lost lost night,' the woman in red said. "I had been out late myself to a business meeting of the club and was still up when he came in. He frowned upon seeing the house illuminated and said: "For heaven's sake turn out some of these lights and cut down expenses." Generosity. Rebecka, aged five, who claimed a handsome, heavily-bearded young man—a neighbor—for a sweetheart, was asked by a young lady if she would not give her a claim also on the young man. "No," said Rebecka, positively. "I want him all to myself." "But won't you give me a part of him—just a little bit?" pleaded the young lady. "You see, I haven't any sweetheart." "Well," answered Rebecka, deliberating, and somewhat softened by the appeal, "you may have his whiskers."—Harper's Weekly. The Other Side of the Case. "You will admit that a man in public office ought not to devote himself to money making." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum; "but at the same time I call attention to the fact that no one gives a man a rebate on either the luxuries or the necessities of life simply because he happens to be a patriot." A Slender Theory. "Why are the best instrumental musicians unable to play by ear?" "I suppose," answered Miss Cayenne, "it must be because no one with a really sensitive ear could endure the terrific din of constant practice." The College Widow "Let me see, was it you or your sister I was engaged to when I was here at college?" "I really don't remember. It must have been mother."—Stanford Chaparral
