LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Register Vernon The Honored Guest of Representative Negroes at Elaborate Banquet at Washington. Twenty-Seven States Represented. VOL. XIII, Register The Honored Guest of Repres Banquet at Washing States Re Special to Colorado Statesman: On the evening of January 30th a banquet was given the Hon. W. T. Vernon, by citizens of the Dista. of Columbia and others from the several States residing here. In attendance were quite a number of out of town gentlemen. Over one hundred of them were seated at the tables, which were advantageously arranged as to enable the guest of the evening to look every man in the eye with ease when he made his eloquent response. There is perhaps some local conceit existing among colored Washtonians, leading them to believe that Washington is the "Hub" at least of the social universe, around which their activities revolve. Whether this be true or not, it is doubtful if there could be gathered together at any other spot on the earth's surface one hundred men and more of African origin representing greater energy and intelligence—still the Dist. of Columbia is not responsible for this brilliant aggregation, for they came from more than a score of States. These men were present to pay their respects to Register Vernon, who since June 12th., of last year, the date on which he took his oath of office has been a resident of this city where he has been gradually winning friends among the best people, and among all the] people, both white and black, especially in white officialdom with which he is in constant contact. His course here has been characterize by poise and moderty—qualities which are especially becoming in the conspicuous and talented, and just at this time it may be said that Register Vernon is both conspicuous and talented—conspicuous for well known political reasons, and eminently talented as an orator. Among these energetic men of color who came out to banquet the Register were successful business men, ex-consuls, soldiers, educators who are rapidly rising in their profession, and a brilliant representation from the vast army of Colored clerks, from the various Departments of the Federal Government, who have long since actually settled every conceivable phase of the "Negro Problem," so far as they are concerned. Mr. W. L. Houston, recently elected Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, acted as the toast master, and right --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRON COLORA Vernon resentative Negroes at Elaborate ington. Twenty-Seven represented. wittily did he perform his conspicuous part. Those who made addresses, were limited in time, so that the Register, when he was reached in the order of the program might have unlimited time in which to make his pronouncement, which was, forceful, witty, and eloquent. The following program was carried out with precision and the speakers were all received with applause at the conclusion of their remarks: 1. Welcome—Dr. E. W. Lampton, Financial Secretary A. M. E. Church. 2. Wanted—Dr. W. L. Board, successful druggist. 3. Citizen and Soldier,—Hon. John L. Waller, ex-consul to Madagascar. 4. Colonial Expansion, Hon. H. T. Greener, ex-consular agent, Vladivostock, Siberia. 5. Our Political Duty, Judge E. M. Hewlett, sometime Magistrate, Dist. of Columbia. 6. Educational Ideals, Dr. L. B. Moore, faculty member, Howard University. 7. Race Unity, Judge R. H. Terrell, Magistrate Dist. of Columbia. 8. Essentials of Progress, Dr. A. M. Curtis, distinguished surgeon, and former head of Freedmen's Hospital. 9. The Church, its Responsibilities, Rev. W. A. Brooks, eloquent Baptist Minister. 10. The Disipline of Negro Youth, Major R. R. Moten, Commandant of Cadets, Hampton Institute, Va. 11. Our Guest, Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds. Response, Hon. W. T. Vernon. As the Register arose to respond he was interrupted for sometime by prolonged applause, and spoke in part of follows: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: "I am sure that I can not fittingly express my appreciation of this testimonial of esteem and regard which you have given me. The eloquent words of congratulation and compliment which the speakers of the evening have seen fit to utter regarding me appeal to me in a way which no words of mine can fully describe. Words are but feeble things—they mean so little when the heart holds so much, and I assure you, that could the promptings of my inmost soul be laid bare in this splendid pres- THE NEW YORK TIMES HON. W. T. VERNON. ence,how infinitismally small would seem by such comparison my attempt to express these promptings. I came to you a stranger, to assume the duties of the office to which I had been appointed, realizing that such an appointment was more than a personal elevation. It carried with it representation for the race, and hence great responsibilities calling for the best effort of any man. I assure you that my efforts have been to measure up to these responsibilities in a way which would please, not only my superiors but all the people of this great country without regard to color. If my conduct has been such as to find favor and approval then I feel more than repaid; and these words of yours tonight, and this testimonial will serve to encourage HON. W. T. me to greater effort to perform my duties faithfully in the future as I have attempted to do in the past. This is a most generous act, and I may say now that I have the kindest feelings for all of the elements that I have met since coming here and which have all treated me with uniform courtesy and kindness. To sum it up, I want to be everybody's register of everybody's treasury. My earliest recollection of life is a log cabin and a dirt floor, but way down there I had some ambition to occupy a place in life which would be worth while—not, may I say with a selfish purpose, but I believe that he who would help others must first raise himself. His elevation will bring with it, some influence fitted to assist --- those of his fellows with whom he comes in contact. I speak the truth when I say that no man does his full duty no matter how elevated who does not consider his duty to others quite as much as his duty to himself. I realize that here tonight we have in you that of brain and character fitted to fill any place to which fortune may elevate you—to perform any duty which fate may assign. In the midst of a personnel such as this, I hesitate to enter into any discussion which tends to moralizing. I can not say that which has been unsaid, nor think that which has been unthought by some or all of you, and yet these seemingly impertinent platitudes with regard to duty to race and fellow man I T. VERNON. trust will not be considered gratuitous. Such an occasion as this is splendid for getting together on common grounds, for the best interest of those whom we represent. While public office is a public trust, and all so situated should realize it, the Negro in office should realize that there is for him to do that which the most generous statement can not comprehend. Aside from a faithful performance of the duties assigned him, he should maintain an especial interest in his people. To no set of men does leadership bring greater responsibilities than to the Negro leaders. The masses trust them implicitly, and for these they should think and labor. --- It will be a splendid day for the race when the leaders lose sight of minor differences and agree upon broader lines which make for the common good. To say that we should all think alike on public policies is to argue against nature, or to imply a blind fatuity which adject subserviency to one would mean; but that, on the essentails we should agree no one will deny. In standing for each other we stand for the race. No jealousies nor envies should cause us to withhold from each other, that which any one deserves. At the same time honest criticism of one's public acts should not be mistaken for enmity, for until time is not, men of bold and virile mentality in their zeal for the accomplishment of those things which they think best, will at times, seemingly propagate divergent views for good and progress. One of the most serious causes for alarm as I see it, is the intemperate criticism which at times we heap upon each other, and the holding up to the gaze of the world the weaknesses which some of our greatest men, as well as the masses may possess. This is no argument nor apology for wrong doing, but is inspired by the feeling that it is always better to see good than ill in one's fellow man. This principle, making for the betterment of all mankind, means much, especially to a people whose antecedents would invite if not force some imperfections. Unity of purpose and unity of thought, rather than a contrariwise movement on the part of those who see the light, will make for a sure and lasting better day. That a race should have opposition as well as an individual indicates progress, but shall we cease our efforts for progress because of opposition? Not so—to correct that which is of wrong within the race—to emphasize the right and the better things which the Negro has done is a duty which we must not neglect. I believe that a large proportion of the Negro leaders are striving heartily for that which they conceive to be the best, and hence, I do not purposely take issue with men per se, but state my views as I see the situation. I believe that the wisest statesmanship will finally conclude that injustice to any of our citizens is indeed harmful to the Government, for the reason that patriotism arising from intelligent appreciation of the real greatness of the Republic, is the real safeguard of the country. Such patriotism is best fostered by the protection and splendid opportunities which only exact justice can afford. The doctrine of self government was a new pronouncement in the annals of the world. It was a protest against the injustice of centuries—against caste distinction NO. 20. and disregard of law. The remarkable mission upon which America started at the outset of our national career, has been the mainspring of the most phenomenal success of the greatest Republic in the world's history. The high and lofty purpose of carrying out this mission actuated the Fathers. Governments, as individuals must not forget the purposes for which Providence has created them. Let it not be said of us that in our efforts to secure the things of earth, we neglected soul virtues, chief among which are brotherhood, and due consideration of the rights of man. We are commanded to "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world" * * * * "for the world passeth away and the lusts thereof." In this materialistic age it will be sad for us, if the things of the souls, which have to do with human rights, liberty and enlightened conscience, lofty endeavors and inspired purposes are all forgotten, and the sordid things—the lusts of earth, the quest for power shall seduce us from the hitherto splendid aim of this mighty nation. The best men of both races must understand each other better. In a Republic there can be no lord and vassal, no master and slave, no ruler and serf, but the reguancy of conscience in the final analysis must preserve our cherished institutions. I am no pessimist. I have no abiding faith in the triumph of right, and the all conquering sense of justice. The eternal verities have no fleeting existence, but are of the ceaseless ages. When the trials, the disheartening and misunderstandings which now obtain shall know the oblivion which is always the part of wrong, equal and exact justice will be accorded to all men." Every banqueter joined in drinking a toast to the health of the guest of the evening with Aqua Pura, the only beverage in attendance Washington feels that Vernon is all right, all right. SHORTHAND A SURE ROAD TO SUCCESS. SHORTHAND A SURE ROAD TO SUCCESS. To the colored boy or girl how is ambitious to succeed and is seeking a way to butt into the cold, calculating business world, nothing offers a better opportunity than shorthand. In this and succeeding articles to fellow, we shall attempt to point out the way and ask you to give this subject careful reading. We shall first take instances of how shorthand has put many men in prominent positions and then (Continued to 4th page) The TAILOR MADE GOWN 11 Feminine Headgear The charms of the tailor-made gown are very apparent this season; it seems to have reached an unwonted height of perfection in color, in material, in combinations of braid and rich furs, in fact everything which goes to make up a most harmonious whole. A great many of the newest tailor-made models show very fascinating little boleros which are half capes! These garments invariably have the sleeves cut in the same piece as the coattee, thus avoiding a shoulder seam. I do not pretend to understand how this is managed, but the effect is excellent, and it represents one of the novelties of the season. Famous authorities assert that we are slowly but surely drifting towards crinolines and "leg 'o mutton sleeves." I do not think we shall quickly see crinolines in possession of the feminine affections but we already have with us something extremely like the "leg 'o mutton sleeve." Marked flatness on the shoulder and considerable width above the elbow! At this particular moment sleeves of this order are very quaint and artistic, but I should not like to speak with great certainty about the attractiveness of the sleeves of next spring. Fashions must change; it does not seem possible to leave well alone and we cannot dare to expect that the sleeves of next summer will rival those of the season which has just faded away. In our illustration we show two original designs in tailor-made gowns. The one on the right is of silver grey cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The other costume is made of bottle green cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to Not the least important item of the woman's wardrobe is the hat with which she crowns her toilet when going abroad. The little fur cap A Black velvet faced with tulle, having white plumes tipped with black at sides and tips. adorns many a fair head, bearing clusters of fruit, flowers and quills. An admirable exception to this form of decoration is shown on small caps of ermine decked with two fountain-shaped black ostrich feathers held in match. the bolero opens on shoulders to show the velvet blouse. White, so long the color monopolized by the debutante, is no longer confined to her, and this winter a number of the smartest matrons have appeared at the sides of their debutante daughters, at receptions or dances, in gowns as white, and in some instances almost as simple as that of the bud herself. This is a wise fashion, for there is no color that makes a more charming frame for the mature or even slightly passe woman than white, when the shade is properly chosen, for shades in white should be as carefully considered when a choice is made as shades in other colors. The woman with snow-white hair and a pink and white or white skin may wear the pure, dazzling whites. For the woman with dark hair, or grey hair having a yellowish tinge, for unfortunately there are such, and a sallow or a creamy skin—the latter as beautiful as the former is unattractive—should select the deep cream. Then there is a silver grey hair to be considered, and the greyish-white skin, and for these the pearly greyish shades or the pinkish whites are suited, but never the creamy tones. The pinkish whites also go admirably with the pink-tinted skins, and are a safe choice for many women, as in America the pink and white tinted complexion is most common. The more beautiful creamy complexions, and the also handsome dead-white complexions, being comparatively rare, perhaps because there are so very many more blue-eyed women than those of darker hue, and these are usually accompanied, or should be at least, by pinkish-white skins. front with a paste ornament. This, however, was not a fur cap of the most conventional polo description, but more of a fur toque mounted on a bandeau, and worthy, perhaps of being called a hat. Black beaver is very popular and was never more worn than this season. One we saw the other day was a "cavalier" hat in black silk beaver with flat choux of black satin massed around the crown, and a large plume of cock's feathers at one side. The new flat cloche hats with comparatively small brims are becoming to some women. One we saw was made of the finest black silk beaver and was raised high at the back and left side on a bandeau covered with choux of black satin. Lying flat on the crown, almost directly in front was a cluster of white camellias and waving over the back two superb feathers, shaded from black to soft grey and then to pure white. A little prying into the future and effort to learn what the coming spring and summer has in store in the way of millinery leads one to believe that the jobbers are trying to get away from the conventional and bring in something new. As to shape there will be some new ideas, notably along the lines of the mushroom and the irregular sailor. Flowers will be employed to a marked extent from the opening of the season. On stiff hats, black velvet ribbon will be very good with feathers. Lace will also find its use. POSTAL DEFICIT MOSTLY CAUSED BY COST OF GOVERNMENT MAIL. SAYS POSTAL COMMITTEE Franking Privilege Is Also Expensive Better Pay for Clerks and Carriers—Would Reduce Cost of Railroad Transportation. Washington.—If the Postoffice Department were given credit for all the service it renders the government, the deficit in postal receipts would be practically eliminated, according to the report of the House committee on post offices and post roads on the postoffice appropriation bill, which was submitted to the House Wednesday. The government departments and other government officers in Washington reported that for the six months ending December 31, 1906, the postage upon matter they sent through the mails would have aggregated $2,285,427. The committee estimates that it is fair to assume that $5,000,000 worth of mail is carried for the government annually without credit to the Postoffice Department. The deficit for the fiscal year 1906 was $10,516,996, and the committee estimates that this would be entirely covered if it were possible to compute the amount of mail franked by federal officials in all parts of the country, in addition to the amount of free mail going out of Washington . The increases in compensation to the employees of the service, including clerks, carriers in city delivery offices, railroad mail clerks and rural free delivery carriers, are practically as recommended by First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock in his last annual report. The proposed increases will aggregate nearly $9,000,000 a year. The report does not attempt to estimate actual amounts of cut in pay to railroads for postal service, but it is generally believed by members of the committee that the reduction will aggregate $10,000,000. In discussing the practice of using six as divisor when dividing the weight of mail for a full week to determine the daily average, the report says that his practice originated in 1873, when few Sunday trains were run. Since Sundays have come to be used for methods of business, the report says, Sundays should be counted here after in arriving at daily averages. "Although the effect of using seven as a divisor would be a reduction of the total amount of money paid for compensation, nevertheless the object of your committee in making the recommendation is more with a view to plain and accurate methods of computation than for the specific purpose of reducing the amount of pay." A recommendation is made for a general weighing of all mail for a period of six months beginning July 1, 1907. The total amount carried by the bill is $209,410,802. STOCKMEN'S COMMITTEE. Go East to Meet Public Land Commission mission. Denver. — A Cheyenne dispatch Washington says: A telegram from Washington this morning states that President Roosevelt has denied the request of Vice President Wilson of the National Wool Growers' Association for a postponement of the meeting between stockmen and the public lands commission to discuss range leasing, which the President scheduled for February 11th, and insists that the stockmen be on hand to meet the commission on that date. The headquarters of the association here immediately got busy and telegrams were sent to prominent wool growers in all of the western range states, and the following committee selected and instructed to start at once for Washington: Arizona—H. E. Campbell, Flagstaff. Colorado — John Lawrence, Saguache. California — H. J. Jastro, Bakersfield. Idaho — Fred W. Gooding, Shoshone. Montana — Lewis Penwell, Helena. Nebraska — R. Nert Taylor, Abbott. New Mexico — A. D. Garrett, Roswell; H. W. Kelly, East Las Vegas. Nevada — D. C. Wheeler, Reno. Oregon — Douglas Belts, Pilot Rock; D. P. Smythe, Pendleton. Washington — Peter McGregor, Hooper Wyoming—Governor Brooks, Pat Suillivan, Casper; J. A. Delfelder, Lander; Col. E. J. Bell, Laramie. The last two named were appointed by the Wyoming Wool Growers' Association. Western Vice President Wilson of the National association will also attend. A preliminary meeting of the committee will probably be held at the Auditorium hotel in Chicago en route East. Delmas to Defend Thaw. New York.—The defense of Harry K. Thaw, under the direction of Attorney Delphin M. Delmas of California, began to assume definite shape Wednesday. When court adjourned testimony had been placed before the fury to the effect that Stanford White had been heard to make the threat to kill the defendant, coupling the threat with the display of a revolver; that Thaw's actions following the killing of White on the roof of Madison Square Garden was considered by several eye witnesses to have been "irrational;" that an uncle of the defendant was insane; that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw passed a note to her husband during dinner at the Cafe Martin the evening of the tragedy; that District Attorney Jerome has this note and refused, on the demand of the defense, to introduce it in evidence.

"In a minute" is one of the most common bits of unconscious satire in English colloquialisms. "In a minute," answers a man's wife when the clock is striking eight and she is far from the finishing touches of her theater toilet. "In a minute," says the imperturbable waiter when asked why the steak ordered half an hour before is not served. "In a minute," he'll add at the next inquiry, ten minutes later. "Minute," clicks the telegraph operator to the sender on the other end of the wire. Then he goes out for a drink or begins a long-winded conversation with a friend. "Minute," says the hallo girl, and she forgets all about the call five minutes later when you ring her up again. The peculiar thing about it is that, although this common gauge of the "stand-off" minute invariably is longer, the average person who is put to an actual test of calling off a single minute will announce the expiration long before a minute really has elapsed. Try it. Hold your watch on the worst procrastinator you know, and you'll find his estimate of a minute is rarely more than forty seconds, even if h counts sixty in what he thinks are seconds. Mothers With Courage. Mothers with courage frequently have more courage than they themselves know. She who is truly sympathetic is ever too courageous to desert a suffering mortal. A woman of character is never a coward. Wait until some danger threatens another and observe how quickly self is forgotten. In a terrible accident, after the first natural feeling of revulsion, she easily ignores the effect of the shocking scene upon herself in her absorbing efforts to render assistance and comfort. And there are many such women, says the Washington Star. The children of a courageous mother are to be congratulated. When Samuel is carried into the house, injured and bleeding, she does not distract from him the attention his condition demands by falling into a fit of hysterics and leaving the real work of help to some neighbor or kindly stranger. The recent death of Lord Rawton, Disraeli's secretary and the executor of his estate, brought to light the following explanation of how Mrs. Brydges Willyams came to leave her fortune to Lord Beaconsfield: "Dizzy received one morning a letter from Mrs. Willyams—whom he did not know—in which she said that she had read his novels with much interest, and would like to make his acquaintance. She also asked a question which rendered it necessary for him to answer the letter. Unfortunately, the letter was left in his greatcoat pocket, and Dizzy did not wear the coat until several months afterward, when he happened to be in the south of England, and in the very town in which Mrs. Willyams lived. Coming across the letter in such circumstances, it occurred to him to call upon her, and Mrs. Willyams was so flattered at, as she thought, his carrying the letter so long about him, and then calling, that she decided on leaving him her fortune! That shows how wise it is not to answer letters," added Lord Rowton. J. W. Rummell, WINES, LIQUORS & CIGARS PHONE 0432 MAIN. 2257 Welton St. Denver, Colo. hirst Parlors J. L. PENNINGTON, Prop.

Governor Buchtel, on the 4th inst., appointed the new State Board of Dental Examiners, which will consist of Theodore Ashley of Canon City, MallowCatlett of Victor and Howard T. Chinn, Clarkson M. Guyer and F. H. Sutherland of Denver. The appointments were confirmed by the Senate during the afternoon. Organized labor has shown its disposition to abide by the House rules through the registration of George A. Hally, president of the State Federation of Labor, as a lobbyist in the House of Representatives. Hally is the first lobbyist to register, and his name probably will remain lonesome until that of President Pulver of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly, who is now out of the city, is entered upon the book provided for registration of lobbyists, says the Denver News. The Senate in committee of the whole took up Senate Bill No. 35, by Mr. De La Vergne and gave it favorable consideration. The bill amends the act authorizing cities of the first or second-class to acquire and maintain parks, so the terms of park commissioners shall be two years instead of six years. The author of the bill explained that General Palmer of Colorado Springs desires to donate certain property to that city for park usage, and its donation depends largely on the park board regulations. In response to a request from Pasqualo Corte, Italian consul, Governor Buchtel has undertaken an inquiry into the recent accident in the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company coal mine at Primero, in the southern coal fields, where a number of coal miners lost their lives. He is most anxious to get at the bottom and learn whether anything can be done by the state to prevent such accidents in the future. He has instructed the coal mine inspector to go to the scene and make a thorough investigation a second time. The commission appointed by Governor McDonald before his retirement to look into the proposition of procuring voting machines for use in Colorado elections, met Tuesday to examine the Columbia voting machine, which is being exhibited by agents of the company. The commission consists of Albion K. Vickery, county clerk; John B. Hunter, engineer of the Board of Public Works, and Frank C. Goff, engineer of the Board of Education. The Columbia is the first machine examined by the commission. It will probably be inspected by the members of the Legislature also while at the state house. The State Board of Pardons met February 1st, being the first meeting held since Governor Buchtel became a member. The board declined to interfere with the sentences of any of those applying for pardon, the best that was granted being that two cases were laid over to another meeting. Governor Buchtel does not incline to grant pardons except in extreme cases, where more than the ordinary good reasons are urged in behalf of the applicant. The two whose cases will be given further consideration were: Howard Fisher, sentenced from Lake county for burglary and murder; William Bell, sentenced in 1902 from Arapahoe county for murder. Richard W. Morgan of Boulder county, senator from the twenty-sixth district, was expelled from the state Senate by a vote of 28 to 1. Those absent and excused were Senators Button, Meyer and Sapp. Absent without excuse, Morgan. Present and excused from voting, Senators Burger and Millard. Senator Lewis alone voted against expulsion. The cause of Senator Morgan's expulsion was his acknowledgment of having accepted a bribe during the gubernatorial contest two years ago. The report of the Senate committee, which was adopted reads: "That said Richard W. Morgan is guilty of having accepted a bribe from James M. Herbert or Daniel Sullivan in the city and county of Denver, on or about the second day of March, A. D. 1905, etc. In pursuance of the above finding, we, your committee, recommend that the said Richard W. Morgan be forthwith expelled as a member of this body." The bill before the Legislature, asking for an appropriation of $150,000 for the construction of a mining temple in Denver, has the backing of the American Mining Congress and several wealthy residents of Denver. It was at first suggested that an eight story structure be erected and that the larger portion of it be rented, so that eventually, the building would pay for itself. This plan, it is said, did not receive the approval of David H. Moffat and others, and so the Legislature is asked to appropriate money for the construction of a mining temple, to be used exclusively for a permanent exhibit of the state's mining resources. The bill provides that the money asked for shall not be used until an equal amount is raised by subscription. The congress also is interested in other measures of interest to the mining in dustry, one for the protection of mining investors, and the other for the creation of mine draining districts. Duplicate bills now in the hands of the mines and finance committees of the Legislature, known as House bill No. 259 and Senate bill No. 252, and providing for a geological survey in Colorado, are the subject of much discussion at the present time. The measure has attracted attention largely through the influence it will have, if passed, and those aware of its existence are awaiting what action will be taken with more than casual interest. Forty states of the Union have conducted geological surveys, and twenty-nine of these organizations are still active. Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York have carried on survey work with but short interruptions for over fifty years. The annual appropriations for the work range as high as $30,000. At present New York, Illinois and Kentucky are each spending from $25,000 to $30,000 a year. The investigations undertaken are mainly along the line of economic geology proper, but in a number of cases the study of soils, water resources, water power and other matters of economic importance are included. In a few, general natural history is made a part of the work. The appropriations and state institutions committees of the House are preparing for a visit to five of the state institutions, the trip to be entered on within a week or two. The institutions to be visited are: School for the deaf and blind at Colorado Springs, insane asylum at Pueblo, penitentiary at Canon City, reformatory at Bena Vista and the Soldiers and Sailors' Home at Monte Vista. Senator Lewis' bill exempting property owned by churches from taxation was first considered by the committee of the whole. The object of this measure is to exempt the buildings or houses occupied by churches or clergymen from ordinary taxation, up to a valuation of $5,000. Over that amount the ordinary taxation would apply. Senator Wood amended to make the amount exempted $2,000 instead of $5,000. A compromise was agreed upon at $3,000, and with this figure the bill was recommended for passage. The hotelkeepers' liability bill unanimously passed the House on third reading and is now up to the Senate. The measure was introduced by Kelly of Denver, at the request of the Hotel and Restaurant Keepers' Association. It fixes a limit of $5,000 on the liability for valuables left in charge of the landlord or clerk; $200 for valuables stolen from rooms by servants or employees, where the guest did not take advantage of the requirement to put his valuables in the safe in charge of the landlord; $50 liability as gratuitous baffle for any article lost or stolen that may be left in the landlord's care after the owner has ceased to be a guest at the hotel. Senate bill No. 48, Senator Harrison's anti-lobby act, was killed in the Senate, the enacting clause being stricken out after a long discussion. Senator Scott said if lobbying was inherently wrong, then a bill to license it was a greater evil. The object of the oll was to prevent an evil, he said, but it made a lobbyist of him who was not a lobbyist. He thought it honorable, as an attorney, to appear before the Senate committees or the Senate, or the individuals constituting the Senate, in behalf of a ditch company or a railway, or any legitimate business. "It seems to me this bill is simply a confession," he said, "of the moral and intellectual weakness of the members of this body." Senator Taylor's bill to change the name of the Grand river in Colorado to the Colorado river came up Tuesday in committee of the whole in the Senate and was, after considerable discussion, approved and recommended for final passage. The author explained that tourists wonder why the river should be called the Grand in this state and the Colorado elsewhere. He gave a brief history of the stream. He said there was some natural opposition in Grand Junction, which took its name from the river. Senator Jefferson of Routt and Grand counties said his constituents were opposed to the bill. Senator Antfenger said the Senate is inclined to waste a great deal of time, and the discussion of this measure he considered one of the occasions. He opposed any change in the name. Senator Booth said the proposed change would be a good one, as it would furnish additional advertisement to this state. Senator Lewis favored the bill. He had once endeavored to unravel the mysterious course of the stream for the benefit of some tourists and found it very difficult. Senator Harrison moved a compromise by calling the river the Grand Colorado river. Senators Campbell, Barrel, Drake and Harris opposed any change in the name. The Harrison amendment was lost; also a motion to lay on the table. Senator DeLong said his constituents were greatly divided, and while he proposed to vote against the bill, he would not fight its adoption. The members of the State Agricultural College faculty, who hold positions at the experiment station, and all experts in horticulture and entomology in the Fort Collins district, are using every opportunity to say a good word for House bill No. 311, introduced by Representative Hoyt of Mesa county. This bill has for its object the protection of the horticultural interests of the state. It is known as the horticultural inspection bill, and provides for the inspection of all nursery stock coming into Colorado for the purpose of keeping out so far as possible injurious insects and plant diseases that do not already occur here. The bill also provides for the extermination of insect pests and fruit disease that are likely to be disseminated to the injury of fruit growers wherever they may be found in the state. The bill makes the entomologists of the agricultural college, state entomologist, and makes it his duty to look after the enforcement of the inspection law within the state. It provides for horticultural inspectors in the various counties of the state where fruit is grown, the duty of the horticultural inspectors being to carry out the provisions of the act in their respective counties. The inspectors are appointed by the county commissioners in each county. The bill further provides for the inspection of all the nurseries within the state for the purpose of preventing them from sending out to purchasers any dangerous insects or diseases that may be found in them. The nurseries of the country are the centers for the distribution of the insect pests and diseases that are troublesome to the fruit growers, and it is hoped in this way to largely prevent the spread of these pests in Colorado. Colorado fruit growers are able now to produce a high quality of fruit and to ship it long distances to eastern and southern markets and still sell it at a profit, because they do not have to contend with so many of the orchard enemies. If apple scab, bitter rot, plum curculio, San Jose scale, the gypsum and brown tail moths and many others of the eastern pests were to become established in home orchards, the price of fruit lands and the profits that fruit growers are now able to make in the business of fruit growing would be greatly reduced. The college people hope that every fruit grower who is thoroughly alive to the fruit growing interests of the state will do what he can to secure the passage of this bill.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Under this head we are giving business talks to business people. ‘They are heart to heart talks on practical themes, and it will pay you well to listen ‘and heed. While this paper is not a business college or commercial agency, yet it feels to have a duty to the men and women who are in the semi- business world. The race needs to learn that we are not the real thing yet by a long reach, but that we must crawl before we can walk and run before we ean leap. Read this statement of a great magazine and publishing house and then reflect. “Solicitors and collectors for Collier’s Weekly in the South,”” have been emphatically instructed by circular to ‘eut out’ at once all Negro business. Contracts must not be accepted from Negroes in any cireum- stance, not even if paid in advance.’’ This from the northern publica- tion which has had so many spasms over the Atlanta riot, whose great pulsating and palpitating heart has beer bleeding so long for the poor down-trodden and also cruelly treated Negro. Your correspondent has procured one’ of these circulars from a Collier’s representative. It,is dated Atlanta, December 18th, and ~is signed ©. M. Varley, who seems to be a very positive gentleman. It is addressed ‘To Agents,” and it says: “Dear Sir—From this on we will accept no contracts whatever, se- cured from colored people, regardless of circumstances. This is abso- lutely final. “Business of this description, we figure, can mean nothing but loss. Any collector who will deviate from these instructions will be held responsible for any goods delivered against these instructions, and any agent who will secure orders from colored peaple and fail to mark ‘colored’ on the contract will be held responsible for all expenses in- curred in shipping stock to and from point at which order from colored subscriber was secured. “Tf it is necessary for any agent to fill out contracts secured from Negroes, let them mark ‘‘colored’ plainly on the face of the contract, so that same may be separated and returned as unacceptable to agent ‘on receipt of orders. “All comment on this subject will be absolutely yseless, as I have my instructions and intend to carry them out literally. Understand absolutely, no Negro business, not even from teachers.’? Phis shows that business houses do not feel safe in dealing with us, so indifferent is a majority of the race in up-to-date business methods. The Colorado Statesman, does not give this correspondence to knock the race, but only to show, that legitimate business methods must be fol- lowed, if we are to retain the respect and confidence and business rela- tion, with such houses as are following up-to-date business methods; will you not resolve to be prompt in your business dealings and: to do your part in saving the race from this wholesale method of being cut out because of our failures to do business on business lines. THE BURNING ISSUE IN FRANCE. Some of our readers , alive to the main topic of the day, have re- quested that we briefly sketch the issues in France. This article is in- tended in no way to reflect on Catholics, as the Colorado Statesman has no knock against any religion, but we wish in compliance to this request to state the plain facts, We hold ourselves open to both eriticism and correction if we mistake the vital points. ‘The issue reduced to its simplest form is, whether the citizens of that nation must obey the law or seek instruction elsewhere to do so; in other words, shall the citizens of France obey.the mandate of the state or the instructions of the Holy See (the Pope) vice-regent of God on Earth. The law making and executing powers say it is the citizen's duty to obey the law of the land. The Chureh says it is loyal Catholics’ duty to obey the head of the Church. It leaves the men and women who want to do the right in an unpleasant situation. It is like an irresis- tible foree coming up against an immovable post. A clash, was the un- avoidable result. When the debris was cleared away it was found the immovable post (the state) was the winner and now the church must conform to the regulations of the state. Hach congregation must be in corporated and elect a board of trustees, who must make application to the state for a charter and report to the state its property, service, hold- ings and purposes. ‘This is true of hospitals, schools, monasteries, ete. ‘This brings the religion of France out into the open like it is in America. This puts the Catholic Church on the same footing as other faiths anc offers no favors to any, which after all is the only sensible thing to do. Of course the question of allegiance to righteous conscience comes in for discussion. Every Christian puts his conscience above the law of the land, if that law is in conflict with the law of God. The real believer would rather suffer martyrdom than be disloyal to God. But the difference, however, lies in this. In Catholicism the con- science is not with the individual but with the Holy Father, while in America each individual has religious liberty and is a spiritual law unto himself. The last question exercised in the new law is, that the state gives laymen authority with the priest, the law recognizing not church posi- tion but the man, while Rome holds, as it always did, that all authority is vested in the clergy. This we believe is the real bone of the-conten- tion. At present the state is in the aseendeney and it looks to an ordinary observer that they are certain to succeed.

Already eight separate official and personal investigations have been made into the affray and as many sesisons in the Senate discussing the status of the situation. It has also crept out into the social functions. The banquet of the famous Gridiron Club was broken up while four courses of the annual dinner was yet unserved, because of the discussion and feeling engendered by this subject. Now that the discussion is approaching its end we desire to speak of it probably for the last time. The case stands “status quo.’’ The President’s order has been so much revised that it no longer attacks the innocent or works any injustice upon those not partici- pating in the riot. The new order gives every man discharged an opportunity to prove his innocence and,to re-enlist and get his original standing. To the Negro these modifications of the order give justice and fair play and at the same time shows a back-down of the strenuous Presi- dent from his first position. While the whole affair has humiliated the race and caused much unpleasant and uncomplimentary discussion, yet we believe that the Negro coines out of it wiser, saner and better than before. Let us from now on give no cause for attack but when we are at- tacked let us do with our might to defend ourselves, the honor of the race and the friends who have so gallantly stood by us in every emer- geney. Che Dimple That Bors Injustirve to Hta Wearer KS Sor, cy so she is the epitome of mocking flippance. She may be the most sober of maids or matrons, and with the first sign of animation, behold the dimple! Now, whether or not the dimp'» be the result of the pressure of Cupid’s finger—and his fingers are constantly meddling with other people's affairs, as everybody knows—it is quite certain that the wayward depres- sion in the cheeks has an effect upon the eye. Possibly the hide and seek methods of the dimple have excited the eye’s curiosity, and it is the sparkle consequent upon the excitement of the chase that betrays itself. However, the dimple and the sparkle are coinci- dental and the result is—the coquette. It is doubtless a slander upon the character of the victim, but few stop to analyze the total depravity of the dimple. To the world at large it is merely an accident of nature, aecentu- ating a disposition toward the joys of life. The dimple is to the unthinking the indication of the trifler, to whom everything is but food for laughter. The attributes of the will-o”- the-wisp go with it. It is a whimsical insincerity. To subdue it wholly is, of course, out of the question. To keep it even tolerably within bounds ‘requires constant watchfulness. It may flit into sight when you commiserate your best friend on the demise of a rich relative or dance in and out of your cheek while you are remonstrating with the cook for the cold potatoes served at dinner. What is argument in the face of a perverse dimple? And if it is a thorn in the side—or rather the cheek—of the layman, consider what the artist suffers! The dimple absolutely refuses to yield to stage requirements. Let me but relax for an instant in “Marguerite” and out would come a riotous dimple to poke fun at my grief. I have only one role to which it is happily attuned. As Zerlina in “Don Giovanni” I may assume my dimple with my costume with perfect security that it can do no damage. Zerlina is a pleasantly inconsequent young person who may associate with a dzaple without injuring her reputation. Griting News by Orlepathy By WILLIAM T. eh sciousness is rarely conterminous with that of the physical consciousness ; it ignores much that to us appears important, and in chronicling facts it is most embarrassingly indifferent to conditions of time. ‘These are, however, but the obstacles, the inevitable difficulties which bafile and tantalize the investigator in any unknown field. What has been demonstrated, times without number, is that friends at a distance of hundreds of miles can and do transmit to me, by the agency of automatic handwriting, the mast secret thoughts and confidence of their hearts. They are not conscious of the use which their subconscious self is making of my hand. But they cannot deny the extraordinary accuracy with which time and again the contents of their inmost minds have been communicated to me. My experience has sufficed io prove to me that, providing two minds are in tune, mind can transmit thought to mind instantaneously over dis- tances of hundreds or thousands of miles. There are plenty of errors in transmission, flaws and imperfections in the telepathic process. But the fact that mind can and does transmit thought to mind across vast spaces without the agency of any wire or electrical instrument what- ever is to be almost as well established as the fact that there is a postal system, and that a letter dropped into a pillar-box in the street, with a penny stamp upon it, will be delivered in the course of the next day to any address within a radius of 300 miles. But my experiments have hitherto been entirely confined to the receipt of messages from the subconscious mind at the time that the subliminal part of him was communicating to me his iedas, his hopes, his fears, or his actual experiences. I have, however, always believed that it would be possible to make the physical consciousness as receptiye-and as communicative as the sub- consciousness. Divine Responsibility Of Parenthood By REV.

DAMERON, Prop. ee (Continued from first page.) |} Mr. Harriman was disnosed too show how each young man and woman can profit and increase his personal usefulness and store of knowledge by the use of this in- dispensible art in modern busi- ness. No other business to-day offers as many and. as great opportuni- ties to young men stenographers as the railroad business. This is true of all departments of the bus- iness; it is especially true of the traffic department, says 8. O. Dunn in the Worker's Magazine. Former stenographers are rail- road presidents, vice presidents, general managers, traffic managers. There is not a high salaried, covet- ed position that former steno graphers are not filliig on one or more roads. The number of them who will occupy such positions ten years hence will be much greater than it is now. The extensive use of shorthand and typewriting in rail- road offices is a comparatively re- cent development. Since its in- troduction not only have numer- ous stenographers climbed up to high offices, but a much larger number haye risen to subordinate. but important places. These men are the general and executive offi- cers of the futare. Probably the career of no Amer- ican railroad man better illustrates the opportunities of the steuogra- pher in railroad work than that of Charles M. Hays, vio president and’general manager of the Grand Trank and president of the Grand Trunk Pacific railways. Mr. Hays entered the railroad service 23 years ago as a clerk in the passen ger department of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad at St. Louis. Perceiving the advantage a knowledge of stenography would give him, he studied it and became secretary of the general manager of the Missouri Pacific. He must have thought promotion was slow in coming, for he held this posi- tion and that of general manager of the Wabash, St Louis & Paci- fic, nine years. Then his oppor- tunity arrived and he was advanc- ed so fast that within, seven years he was vice president and general manager of the Wabash. Mr. Hays was president of the Southern Pacific when E, H. Har- riman acquired it in 1901, He speedily resigned because he felt Mr. Harriman was disposed too narrowly to restrict his freedom of action. As president of the Grand Trunk Pacifi, which is being built fron the Atlantic to the Paci- fic; this one time stenographer, is in charge of the most gigantic piece of railway construction un- der way on the American conti- nent. Here is one of many instances, where knowledge of business could not have been obtained in so brief space of time without this all im. portant art. The public schools, business colleges and academics are teaching it and every colored student should avail themselves of a thorough and comprehensive mastery as soon as possible, WHITE THIEVES. Among the white men that have been arrested recently for stealing from their employers are Sam and Max Samuelson, John H. Stodg- hill, Russell Woodard Wilson Pet- ers, Cato Holden, Henry Pickett and Louis Nietmann, Don’t ape after white men in such deeds if you want to enjoy liberty. College Students as Thinkers. It is Important for college teachers 10 promote the pursuit on the part of their students of such subjects as in their inherent character demand think- ing, and also to promote such a pur euit of these subjects as does promote thinking. Mathematics is a subject which demands thinking. It is think ing; if is nothing else. History may be presented as a matter of acquis) tion; it also may be presented as a matter of weighing evidence as 4 study of cause and effect. Economics fs a subject which specially offers op- portunities for such study as develops thinking. Its phenomena are complex and the causes which prevail in its field are often obscure. These studies and similar ones offer a special ad- vantage in creating and nourishing the power of thinking.—North American Review. Everything Counts.

I the undersigned take pleasure in making this statement that statements made by the News, Post and Republican, that a toilet set was found in the room of our former porter Anderson Wright, implicating Mr. Rice by saying that it came from the Gross Pharmacy Co. 16th and Welton-Sts., such is not true I also wish to state that I went over and saw Mrs. C. L. Neubert, manager of the firm and she speaks very highly of Mr. Rice, regarding his honestty. Respectfully, G. A. DUNAGAN, Mgr. Braman Clothing Co. Regarding statement in the News Post and Republican, implicating Mr. Rice, our soda dispenser with the action of the porter of G. H. Braman 16th. and California Sts. I wish to state that I have called up the chief of police personally and have his admission that he never made no such statement and that there was no toilet set taken from our store. I also wish to state that I find that Mr. Rice entirely disconnected with this affair in the light which it appears. Respectfully, Mrs. C. L. NEUBERT, Mgr, The Gross Pharmacy Co. "Honesty is the best policy" is an old adage but its too often violated, or at least once too often, and for so doing the police made quite a hall on Saturday night and among the number was one of Denver's prominent young colored men, Anderson Wright, who, for the past two years has been one of the employees of the Braman Gents Furnishing Store. Wright was about to leave the store with a box of hoisier when he was detained until officers arrived and put him under arrest. His room at 1919 Welton street, was seacached and goods to the amount of about $1000,00 was found which Wright is said to admit was stolen property. There is no reasonable excuse, nor is it a case of necessity for a man steadily employed, to resort to stealing and too, from those who employ him. All Negroes are not thieves, but it is true in too many cases that white men wink an eye of suspicion at those whom they have employed when such a case as the above are brought to light: Those of the race who have the utmost confidence of their employers should strive to retain it and thus command the highest respect for themselves and the race. This is but another instance where the Negro has learned a lesson from the evil whites. It is to be deplored that such is the case and we again advise all to adhere to the motto beginning this article. The trial of Mr. Wright is set for next Monday. Commonwealth the Best. Denver. Colo.

The efforts of the Bardwell investigation commission in ferreting out the facts connected with the fraudulent and excessive expenditure of money in the receivership of the Denver Savings Bank, deserves the hearty support of the Legislature and the community at large. The lesson drawn from the facts are wholesome and practical. Mr. Stevick, who was appointed receiver by District Judge John I. Mullins, was supposed to be a capable, worthy man; a man whose ability was not overestimated, and a man who would nourish the interest and guard the right of the hundreds of working people who had their "all" in the Denver bank when he was appointed receiver. Being a lawyer himself, his acts were within the bounds of the law, but beyond the bounds of reason. His few favorite friends, together with himself, fattened their bank accounts and the poor working people are the sufferers—victims of misplaced confidence. Many colored citizens were among the unfortunate depositors. At one time Mr. Stevick enjoyed a good reputation. To-day, under the scouraging and scrutinizing eyes of those who once looked to him as the exponent of firmness and their leader, he flinches, flounders and groans, and is morally a dead one. Never were genuine, worthy men, as leaders, in such demand. As a race we realize this fact. Men who can fill the measure, who have honest, intelligent intentions, no selfish, petty motives, who have no ax to grind, who have no desire to victimize any one. Unfortunately, the illiterate element in most instances are the victims. The loss of money, the loss of confidence, the over-estimation of ability, are daily occurrences. To many they are painful. The lesson is wholesome. Look and learn. When you are in a place of trust be considerate. Make your promises in good faith. If you are prone to be a misleader instead of a leader, have the courage to shape ends so you alone will be the victim. A Good Recommendation. The telephone bell in the office of the Commonwealth Life at 616-617-618 Mack building rang one day this week and Mr. Ira G. Harris, the president, answered it. A lady's voice asked, "Is Mr. Harris there?" Upon finding out that it was Mr. Harris talking, she said, "My cook was telling me that you give a sick benefit and recommended you so highly that I wanted to talk with you about it and take out a policy."

Here is a little picture of the poet Southey from a recent volume, "Mrs. Brookfield and Her Circle": "I was one day bowling my hoop up and down the royal crescent when Landor appeared walking with his friend Southey. Southey was in an old-fashioned spencer, his hair tied behind in cue style with a black ribbon. I remember quite well his eagle eye and aquiline nose and the excitement of meeting the author of 'The Curse of Kehama' in real life."

Phone Your Orders If You Can't Come Down SANTA FE PENSIONS. Liberal Payments to Old or Disabled Employees. The following details of the pension scheme adopted by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad system are given in a statement issued by the general passenger agent: "The pension system the company has devised is one of the most liberal in existence. No additional restrictions are placed on the employment of new men and no employee will be arbitrarily retired because he has reached the age of sixty-five or seventy years. Employees will be retained in the service as long as they are able to perform their duties satisfactorily. For those who are weakened by reason of age or accident the company will endeavor to find some new duty that is less arduous and exacting than that at which they were originally employed. Retirement will be for incapacity alone, and the board of pensions, of which George G. Tunell is the secretary, will have full power to decide when a man is incapacitated. "The Santa Fe plan distinguishes between men who have received small salaries and those who have been regularly paid larger amounts. The management of road realizes that small salaried men have not the opportunity to lay aside as much money as those who are better paid and the pension board will keep this fact in view when it awards pensions. "Twenty dollars a month will be the smallest pension given any pensioner. Exceptionally long and efficient service will result in the pensioner receiving twenty-five per cent. increase of the regular allowance. The basis for the amount of the pension is fixed on the highest salary a pensioner has received during his connection with the road. Fifteen years' actual service will entitle an employee to a pension as a result of old age. Employees incapacitated as a result of an accident will be pensioned regardless of the length of service. "All employees whose highest average wage was $50 or less a month will be given a pension equal to one and one-fourth per cent, of his wage for each year of service. An employee who has been in the service thirty-eight years at an average wage of $45 would receive $21.39. The amount of pensions for better paid men is determined in a similar manner, but a man whose wages exceeded $50 will only get one and one-fourth per cent on the first $50 of his salary and three-fourths per cent, on the remainder. The highest pension will not exceed $75 a month. Denver Directory THE FREESHUS J. H. WILSON STOCK SADDLES Ask your dealer for them. Take no other. AMERICAN HOUSE DENVER. Two Union Depot.

STORY OF THE AVALANCHE Two-Story Building Caught in the Slide and Ground to Pieces—Adjoining House Carried On Top of the Descending Snow. Denver.—A Republican special from Salida Tuesday night says: Following is a correct list of the victims of the snowslide that occurred at Monarch last night: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mason. Jack Emerson, son of Superintendent Emerson of the Madonna mine. Charles Gillett, miner. Steve Skinner, saloon keeper. Joseph Boyle of Denver. James Smith is badly injured and will die. Following is a list of those who were buried in the slide, but were taken out, some of them unconscious, but all alive, and will recover: Six children of Fred Mason. Fred Schrader, wife and four children. James Lecky and son, William, aged fifteen. —— Griffith. Jesse Smallwood. The last two were reported to be among the dead, but proved to be only unconscious and were revived. The slide occurred at 9:15 last night and while those who were awake said it made a great noise, they did not realize their danger until too late. The two-story building containing the saloon of Steve Skinner and the boarding house of Fred Mason was completely demolished, not even a piece of furniture being left intact. The home of Fred Schrader, adjoining, was totally wrecked, but was carried on the top of the slide, and while the occupants were thrown out of bed into the snow, none were seriously injured. A hand was found protruding from the snow by one of the rescusers and on digging, the oldest son of Mr. Schrader was taken out, badly bruised but not fatally injured. Five children of Fred Mason were forcibly ejected from the second story of the hotel and covered with flying snow, but were soon rescued little the worse for their experience. The baby of the family, a boy of four, was given up for lost last night, but this morning the little fellow was found under a section of the roof, snugly wrapped up in a feather bed, and fast asleep, wholly unconscious of the awful danger he had escaped. He was not injured in the least. Mrs. Mason was the first one of the dead to be taken out. She was frightfully bruised and mutilated. James Smith was next recovered and though not dead, physicians say he cannot live, as one of his ribs is broken and forced through his lungs. Steve Skinner was found on the floor of his place of business with a kg of beer on his body. The keg had evidently been projected with great force, striking the man on the head and driving his head through the floor. Brains oozed from great fractures in the skull. Faithful search for the body of Fred Mason has not been successful and there arose those who believe that he will be found alive. The rescue party from Salida reached the scene of the slide about 5 o'clock this morning and had a terrible experience in the snow. An engine and one coach brought two doctors, the mayor of Salida, a photographer and a number of citizens who happened to be on hand. The train pulled out about 1 o'clock. All were compelled to shovel snow before the train reached Garfield, two miles below the slide. From there his path was up a steep gulch filled with snow in some places to the depth of eighteen feet. The road had been kept open to some extent, but nearly all the way the party waded in snow up to their shoulders. But for the extreme lightness of the snow they never would have reached Monarch. Though exhausted by their journey, they rendered faithful assistance to those who had worked all night and assisted in taking out many of the bodies. The dead were loaded on sleds, taken to the train at Garfield and all reached Salida at 5:30 to night. The little camp of about 150 people has been almost deserted. The storm still continues and other slides are feared. Monarch was established in 1880, but the oldest inhabitants do not recall such a heavy snowfall as the present, and it is feared that the mines will be closed, as men cannot be induced to work when the danger is so great. Big Reservoir Planned. Fort Collins, Colo.—At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the North Poudre Irrigation Company here Monday there were over 200 present and much interest was shown. The present directors were re-elected. The financial affairs of the company are in excellent condition so that it will not be necessary to levy an assessment for incidental expenses of the year. It was decided that $100,000 in bonds of the company be issued for the purpose of beginning work on the Halligan reservoir in the North Poudre river, thirty-five miles northwest of Fort Collins. This reservoir will cover 700 acres of land at the head of the canon of the North Poudre, all meadow and under cultivation, valued at $23,000. The dam will be seventy feet on the bottom, 130 feet high and 300 feet long on top, and cost $225,000 when completed. The reservoir will hold 1,250,000,000 cubic feet of water. Higher Postal Salaries. Washington.—The postoffice apportion bill, which has been reported in the House, provides for an increase of $100 yearly for clerks and carriers in first and second class offices, the same for railway mail clerks, and an increase of $25 per year for all rural carriers. It is expected the provision making the increase will be retained in the bill and become a law. Keep the Kidneys Well and the Kidneys Will Keep You Well.

A benevolent old man who lived on his farm in Iowa never refused shelter to any who might ask it of him. His many friends remonstrated with him about this characteristic, knowing that many unscrupulous hoboes would avail themselves of the opportunity, and that there was great danger of the old man being robbed. To these remonstrances the old man replied that he believed in "practical Christianity." "But," said one of his friends, "this seems very impractical. Suppose one of these men took it into his head to rob you one night?" "My dear young friend," was the reply, "I bid all enter in the name of God, but I prove my belief in practical Christianity by locking up their pants during the night." Caution. Imitations have been placed upon the market so closely resembling Allcock's Plasters in general appearance as to be well calculated to deceive. It is, however, in general appearance only that they compare with Allcock's, for they are not only lacking in the best elements which have made Allcock's so efficient, but are often harmful in their effects. Remember that Allcock's are the original and only genuine porous plasters—the best external remedy known—and when purchasing plasters the only safe way is to always insist upon having Allcock's. POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE Lafcadio Hearn's Testimony as to Strength of Japanese Wine. There is no liquor in the world upon which a man becomes so quickly intoxicated as Japanese sake (rice wine), and yet none of which the effects last so short a time. The intoxication is pleasant as the effect of opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleasant, luminous exhilaration, everything becoming brighter, happier, lighter; then you get very sleepy. At Japanese dinners it is the rule to become slightly exhilarated, but not to drink enough to talk thickly or walk crooked. The ability to drink at banquets requires practice—long practice. There are banquets of many kinds, and the man who is invited to one at which extensive drinking may be expected is careful to start in upon an empty or almost empty stomach. By not eating one can drink a good deal. The cups are very small and of many curious shapes. One may be expected to empty 50. A quart of sake is a good deal; two quarts require iron nerves to stand. But among the Japanese there are wonderful drinkers. At a military officer's banquet a captain offered me a tumbler holding a good pint of sake. I almost fainted at the sight of it, for it was only the first. But a friend said to me: "Only drink a little and pass it back," which I did. Stronger heads emptied cup after cup like water.—Letters of Lafcadio Hearn. MAY BE COFFEE That Causes all the Trouble. When the house is afire, it's like a body when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act—delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone,—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt Upon the Highest Andean Peak. Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleasure is climbing mountains, has returned to New York from Peru, beaten in her attempt to climb the highest of the Andes, beaten not by the mountain itself, but the worthlessness of the men she employed as guides and porters on the expedition. She is convinced that she would have reached the summit but for the faults of her men and says she is going back with Swiss mountain men to make another attempt. As it was she reached a height of 18,000 feet, being then about 2,000 feet above the summit. This was at her first attempt. One of her men deserted and the rest got drunk on the alcohol which was carried as fuel for cooking. Besides they were all afraid of the trip and especially as they approached the top of the mountain, of which they have a superstitious dread. The second attempt was like the first, except that the men gave out sooner and so less progress was made before the attempt had to be abandoned. FEARFUL BURNING SCRES. Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and- Cuticura Resolvent, my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." Where It Really Does Rain. There is one man in San Francisco who is not bothered by the rain. He is F. S. Morris, of Portland, who is at the Imperial. Morris came in dripping with water yesterday afternoon, and somebody remarked: "Gracious, isn't this rain a fright?" "Naw, nothing much," said the man from Portland. "You just ought to live in my country. Why, at home," and the Oregonian swelled with pride, "In my country the rain falls so fast that the rivers frequently fill up two feet above their banks."—San Francisco Chronicle. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Tannic Acid for the Skin. One of the most annoying results of eye strain is the baggy condition under the eyes, which is very disfiguring. To restore the condition of the skin tannic acid is generally effectual, using 20 grains to an ounce of glycerine. It is applied to the puffiness with a soft camel's hair brush night and morning.

"The best way to defeat and conquer danger is to march right up to it and strike it, between the eyes," says the Baltimore American. The man who is about to be run down by an automobile should remember this.—Kansas City Journal. 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. Demand for Freight Cars. With 2,000,000 freight cars in use in this country, the daily cry, the hourly cry is "More cars, more cars!"

I recovered quickly and am in the best of health now.” Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is certainly a successful remedy for the peculiar weaknesses and ailments of women.

German Birth Rate Decreases. The births in Germany last year were 40,000 fewer and the deaths 30,000 more than in 1904. The birth rate has been sinking steadily for some time.

Ownership of National Banks Ownership of National Banks. The ownership of the national banks of the United States is not in the hands of the rich few, as is commonly supposed, because fully one-half of the banks have a capital of less than $100,000 each. Twelve per cent. have capitalizations of from $100,000 to $250,000, while only seven per cent. range between $250,000 and $1,000,000.

Dr. Morrison, the well-known correspondent of the London Times at Peking, went to see the recent maneuvers of the modernized Chinese army in the neighborhood of Chang-te-fu. He describes them as a repetition of the performance of 1905—a set piece carefully prepared long beforehand by a number of Japanese advisers. The inefficiency of the officers is still conspicuous and the field training of the men inadequate, but the material is good. Dr. Morrison hints that without Japanese officers to direct affairs the contending armies would have been little better than a rabble. MOTHERHOOD The first requisite of a good mother is good health, and the experience of maternity should not be approached without careful physical preparation, as a woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from native roots and herbs, more successfully than by any other medicine because it gives tone and strength to the entire feminine organism, curing displacements, ulceration and inflammation, and the result is less suffering and more cl than thirty years 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 weight in gold. Being a purely vegetable preparation, Heiskell's Ointment soothes and heals where others fail. It all assures 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—Hesikell's Ointment. No one need suffer long afflicted with any skin disease not of a constitutional character if they will apply this remedy. This includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, prurigo, eczema, milk crust, itchings, scalded head, tettler, ringworm, blackheads, psoriasis, pimples, freckles. In some cases it is necessary as in erysipelas, eczema, etc.; the liver should be toned to healthy action and the blood and all the secretions purified. In all cases of skin disease cures are hastened by the use of medicinal products. In cleaning up the blood and ointment, and in cleaning up the blood and liver with Hesikell's Blood and Liver Pills. Hesikell's Medical and Toilet Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Hesikell's Ointment, and is particularly effective in slight disorders of the skin, as rash, eruptions and abrasions. It cleans perfectly, and in the bath is a great luxury. Hesikell's Blood and Liver Pills contain the active medicinal principles of various roots and herbs preserved in medical practice. Remember that there is no case so obstinate that Hesikell's Ointment can not cure it. The ointment is sold at 500 a box. Soap at 250 a cake. Pills at 25c a bottle. You can get them of any druggist, or we will send by mail on receipt of price. Address Johnston, Holloway & Company, 581 Commerce St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Warning That intemperance Increases the Liability to Contract Disease —Neglected Colds a Prolific Sanrca. Organized effort 1s now being made throughout the United Stated to fight consumption. A warning is given against intemperate habits, which in- crease the liability to consumption, while spitting {s public places is de- precated, as the disease is frequently contracted from dried sputum. Colds should not be neglected, as they leave the lungs in a peculiarly receptive condition for the tuburcu- lar germ. The following simple for- mula will break up a cold in twenty- four hours. A leading authority on lung trouble says that when pre- pared from pure ingredients, it will cure any cough that is curable. Take half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure); two ounces glycerine and half pint good whisky. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses every four hours, ‘The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, and to avoid subsitution should be purchased separately and mixed in your own home.

There are many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), which are put out under various names, such as Concentrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never. accept these as a substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired result.

NERVOUS HEADACHES Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Will Cure Nobody who has not endured the buffering caused by nervous head- uche can realize the awful agony of Its victims. Worst of all, tae ordin- ary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor even to give relief. Some doctors will say that if a person is Bubject to these headaches there is nothing that can be done to prevent their recurrence. |_Nervous headaches, as well as neu- talgia, are caused by lack of nutrition —the nerves are starved. The only way to feed the nerves is through the blood and it is in this way that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have accom- plished so many remarkable cures. | Mrs, Addie Merrill, of 39 Union Btreet, Auburn, Me, says: “For years I suffered from’ nervous ‘ead- ‘iches, which would come on me every ye or six weeks and continue for several days. Tho pain was so severe that I would be obliged to go to bed for threo or four days each time. It was particularly intense over my right eye. I tried medicines but got no re- Uef. I ad no appetite and when ‘the headache passed away I felt as if I had been sick for a month. My blood was thin and I wag pale, weak }nd reduced in weight. “I read about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in a paper and decided to try them.

And of all this, and from all this, he rose Pull panoplied, when came his country's call, Strong-hearted and strong-framed to bear the woes Which fell on him the bitterest of all, And well he wrought, and wisely well he knew The strain and stress that should be his alone; He did the task long set for him to do— This man who came unfavored and unknown. We much the lowly place where he was born, We try to dream the dreams that starred his nights, When the sade path that can beside the corn Grew on a fair browd way which found the heights; We try to sense the lonely days he knew, The silences that wrapped about his soul When there came whispers tremulous and true Which urged him up and awed to his gnud. His was the dream-filled world of kindly trees; And marvelous reaches of the pleasant lands; The bracherhood of fields, and birth and bees, Which magnifies the soul that understands; His was the school of unremitting soil Whose lessons leave an impress strong and deep; He were the thoughts of one close to the soil. He did the tilt This man is known. We look to one of tears Not through great, But down the Where star Fate, And now we uncoupled Grown work of Time And know the Brings imminent. But, O, this Wherein a Somehow it row rise The echoed That still wove the light gleams That here wove Of one wilde dreams. Heard Lincoln's First Inaugur Newspaper Correspondent Recalls Which Ushered In a New Historyica--A Memorab e Me We look to-day, not through Grief's mist of tears, Not through glamour of nearness to the great, But down the long, long corridor of years Where stand the sentinels of Fame and Fate, And now we see him, whom men called uncouth, Grown wondrous fair beneath the hand of Time. Put, O, this rugged face with kindly eyes Wherein a haunting sorrow ever stays Somehow it seems that through the *r* row rise That here we gaze upon the pictured face Of one who was a boy that lived his dreams! W. D. N. First Eaugural Address Recalls Momentous Event new Historic Era in Amer- rab e Message. Heard Lincoln's First Inaugural Address Newspaper Correspondent Recalls Momentous Event Which Ushered In a New Historic Era in America--A Memorab e Message. Lincoln spent the early morning hours in his rooms at Willard's, and I remember that among his callers were David Davis, Thurlow Weed, Leonard Swett, Ward Lamon, with many others not now clear in memory. The procession began to move about 11 o'clock, but it was an hour and a half before Buchanan appeared, having been delayed at the capitol in signing bills, some of which, it is said, got his signature after his term of office had actually expired. When all was ready Senators Baker and Pierce took seats in the carriage fronting the two presidents, Buchanan looking old, gray and haggard; Lincoln dark and firm, and wearing a mournful and anxious expression of countenance. Thus accompanied they set forth on their historic ride to the capitol. Around the carriage were mounted guards and a flying squadron of newspaper correspondents, the latter keeping as near to it as possible, one of the artists of an illustrated paper making a sketch of the scene as he went along. There was a desert cloud of dust along the avenue listening to the inaugural address March, 1861 listening to the inaugural address Aftar Sketches from Harper's Weekly—March. 1861. riding the blustering March winds, and it sometimes seemed to hide the entire procession from view. Mr. Lincoln, as I saw him every morning, in the carpet slippers he wore in the house and the black clothes no tailor could make really fit his gaunt bony frame, was a homey enough figure. The routine of his life was simple, too; it would have seemed a tread-mill to most of us. He was an early riser; when I came on duty, at eight in the morning, he was often already dressed and reading in the library. And the book? We have all heard of the president's fondness for Shakespeare, how he infuriated Secretary Stanton by reading Hamlet while they were waiting for returns from Gettysburg; we know, too, how he kept cabinet meetings waiting while he read them the latest of Petroleum V. Nasby's witticisms. It was the Bible which I saw him reading while most of the household still slept—William H. Crook, in Harper's Magazine. Punch's fine tribute to Abraham Lincoln("You lay a wreath on murdered Lincoln's bier!") whose authorship Spielmann in his "History of Punch" ascribed to Shirley Brooks, is now restored to Tom Taylor, 15. How many ```markdown ``` LINCOLN It was a little after one o'clock when the outgoing and incoming presidents, arm in arm, entered the capitol, proceeding immediately to the president's room, whence they emerged in a few minutes preceded by the marshal of the district, judges of the supreme court, and congress-at-arms, and followed by the senators, diplomatic corps, heads of departments, governors of states and others, and made their way to a small wooden pavilion, under which Mr. Lincoln stood while he delivered his memorable message. Chief Justice Taney, old, shriveled to the bone, with a face like parchment, muffled in his silken robes, sat in front of the array of judges. Close by stood Douglas, so near in fact that Mr. Lincoln, finding no place on or under the small reading table provided for him on which to deposit his hat, handed it over to his mighty rival, who held it carefully till the address was finished. Mr. Lincoln's voice was clear and penetrating, and was distinctly heard far and near among the assembled multitudes, which preserved unbroken silence from the beginning to the end. After Sketches from Harper's Weekly. Then a great cheer arose and ran Like a wave along the avenue carrying testimony which was likewise flying over the wires in every direction that the inauguration had been successfully accomplished, and that in spite of all perils, visionary and real, Abraham Lincoln was president of the United States, and a new historic era had been ushered in. I stood within a few yards of President Lincoln when he delivered his first inaugural address from the east portico of the capitol in Washington, writes a veteran newspaper man. I was a newspaper correspondent and had come with him from his home in Springfield to recount for my paper the incidents of his journey. Washington looked on the day as a momentous one, and was not free from a sense of peril. No previous inauguration day had been so ushered in. The senate sat all the night previous, not adjourning till after daylight, Crittenden, Douglas, Trumbull, Wigfall and Wade thundering against each other in their final debate, which, after all, was not loud enough to keep all their colleagues awake, as many of them lay stretched out on the senatorial sofas, snoring a drowsy accompaniment. The town was astir by sunrise, with crowds gathering at all points from the White House to the Capitol. W. D. N. Lincoln and the Bible.

Natives Believe It Grows in Island of Ceylon. In Ceylon grows a tree called "Eve's Apple Tree." It is the fruit of this tree which makes it remarkable. It is a beautiful fruit to look at, deep red on the inside and orange on the outside, and out of each fruit a piece appears to have been bitten. The simulation of a fruit which has recently been bitten into is perfect. You can see the very marks of the teeth, and anyone not knowing the facts would be deceived. For this reason, and because the fruit is a deadly poison, the natives declare that the tree is that which grew in the Garden of Eden and was called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. After Eve ate of the fruit, and thus brought death and sin into the world, the fruit assumed the appearance it has now, as a perpetual reminder of her rash and disobedient act. Police Present Ambulances The police of Lancashire have presented to the townships over which they have jurisdiction forty-six handsome ambulances, many of them costing $500. The money was raised by means of football matches and other athletic sports. There are only a few certainties in the world. One of them is the mother; you can always depend on her. After a man passes 70, living must be a good deal like waiting to go to a dentist to have a tooth pulled. A pinch of salt improves cakes, candies and almost everything that is cooked. Salt on the fingers when cleaning meat, towels and fish will prevent the hands from slipping. Starch made with soapy water prevents the irons from sticking and gives a better gloss to the linen. If a teaspoonful of vinegar is added to the water in which fish is to be washed a most delicious flavor will be imparted to it. Cold baked potatoes, sliced thin, then put in a baking dish with salt, pepper, butter and milk, make a better scallop than raw potatoes. Food articles that are damp should never be left in ordinary paper. Paper is made of wood pulp, rags, glue, lime, and similar substances intermixed with chemicals. When damp, it should not be allowed to come in contact with things that are to be eaten. The small stone crocks used by many for holding butter should always be well washed and freshened before being refilled. The best way to freshen them is after washing, to fill them with boiling ammonia or borax water, allowing a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of water. Let the water remain all day and then fill the crock with sweet milk and let it stand over night. TO COOK BRAISED STEAK. Vegetables and Meat Used Together For This Dish. Have about two pounds of steak cut very thick; melt one ounce of butter or dripping in a small stewpan, then put in a layer of mixed vegetables, carrot, turnip, onions, etc., cleaned and sliced, making a layer of about three-quarters of an inch deep; lay in a bunch of herbs, and on all this arrange the meat, cover down the pan and fry its contents for about 12 or 15 minutes, only shaking it occasionally to prevent this burning; now pour in just enough stock or water to reach to the bottom of the meat, cover this with a piece of white paper brushed over with butter or dripping, then cover down the pan, and set the meat simmer very gently till it is done, basting the meat occasionally. The time of cooking varies with the kind and quality of the meat; for two pounds of fillet or rump steak 1½ to 1¾ hours is about the time. Serve the meat on a hot dish surrounded by the vegetables and gravy, which should be thickened with corn flour. Useful to Know Mut stains on dark clothes should be allowed to dry before any attempt is made to rub them off. Very often after drying the mud will come right off with a good brushing, and leave little or no mark. Meat that is highly roasted or "well done" is not as easy to digest as that which is "underdone" or "rare" or boiled. When a pet canary's feet become distorted, perches of various widths should be placed in the cage, for the change in the grip as the bird hops from one to another improves the deformity not a little. A tight collar, a tight belt or tight shoes, one or all three, will produce a red nose even more rapidly than when that member is touched by Jack Frost Tricolor Pudding Sauce. Cream one cup of butter with two cups of sugar, add the whites of two eggs beaten to a stiff froth and beat lightly until thoroughly blended. Divide into three parts, one with vanilla, one with chocolate the other with extracts of strawberry. Also add a little pink sugar to make it pink if you wish. Grease a mold or bowl with butter, put in the chocolate mixture, then the vanilla, and lastly the strawberry, and set away to cool. When ready to serve dip the mold in hot water a moment, and then turn contents out on a plate. Cut through it in slices and lay on your pudding. Laces That Will Not Wash Laces that are embroidered with silk and colors, tinsel or gold and silver should be spread out smoothly on a clean piece of white cloth and cleaned carefully with a soft brush dipped in spirits of wine. If silk lace is much discolored it should be soaked in hot milk for two or three hours before washing. Honiton lace should not be ironed. Put it under a weight on clean white paper after being washed. Blotting paper will give the best results. Oyster Salad. For oyster salad boil one quart of oysters in their own liquor, skim well, and drain. Add three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one of oil, one of lemon juice, and season to taste. Put in the refrigerator for two hours. Use the tenderest part of a head of celery, cut into small pieces, of which there should be about a pint. Have your celery very cold and crisp, and with it mix the oysters and a quarter of a cupful of mayonnaise, garnish with celery thus and slices of lemon. Cherry Pudding Place canned cherries, well drained from juice, in the bottom of a pudding dish, and scatter among them three or four figs, cut in small pieces. Cover with a batter made by this rule: Beat to a cream two-thirds of a cup of sugar and a tablespoon of butter; add one beaten egg, half a cup of milk, a cup and a half of flour, and two teaspoons of baking powder; flavor with nutmeg and lemon, pour over the cherries, and bake. The cherry juice may be used as the foundation of a sauce for this pudding.
