MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Paying Business For Women in Many Avocations. Women of Thrift Have no Right to Complain. Get Busy Along Some of the Lines Mentioned. VOL. XIII. Paying' For Women in Many Avocations no Right to Complain. the Lines It ought to be easy for men to secure employment in these days of great industrial activity, where the worlds work must be done in a hurry. But women who want to work or who are compelled to make a living for themselves do not find it so easy. This paper has been carrying from week to week common sense discussions on business chances and opportunities. We confine ourselves this week to the paying work for young women and girls. If these girls could only be led to interest themselves in this subject and work out their own independence they would save themselves from the pit falls and temptations of society as well as the necessity of relying upon others for support. First, Teaching offers excellent opportunities for self improvement. This class of work is not overcrowded as much as one would think. The separate schools in the South and mixed schools of the North are on the lookout for good teaching material. The salaries range from $20 to $90 per month according to fitness. Nursing is a growing profession as well as a paying one and it often finds a fitting reward from those nursed back to life and health through pains-taking care and attention. The old "mammy" nurses did well. Why shouldn't up-to-date scientific nursing do better. The doors of all of our colored hospitals and medical colleges are open and many literary and industrial schools have courses for training. There is room for the wide awake girl here that is sure and renumerative. Millinery will always be needed, the changing season and fashions demanding a constant change in headgear. Here is an inexhaustible field for accomplished artistic colored women to serve their own in a profitable way. Dressmaking will also be in vogue and this line of work will not decrease but grow as new tastes and patterns develop. A first-class dress maker need never be idle or penniless. Then an alert, aggressive woman can follow any one of the following vocations with profit and advantage. Manicuring, chiropody hair dressing and hair making, al- so artifical flower making. One colored firm in Chicago used to do a rushing business in wax figure forms, heads, busts, etc., making the best and most natural work used in the big stores for displaying goods. Domestic science will always demand ready money. The best class of white people in Denver to-day are complaining that good colored help cannot be had for love or money. One science greatly overlooked is that of demonstrators, i.e. preparing and cooking foods, exhibiting new delecacies on the market, etc. The delicatessen is also a necessity in all growing cities where people can buy well cooked foods, ready to consume. A live woman situated in a good community can do a profitable business in this work. Catering of course is in line with the above and a great field is opened here for women if one only knows how to profitably enter it. Lace curtain cleaning as a spacialty would make many a sick, lovelorn drooping girl an independent living if she would but strikes out for herself. French laundrying is also another money getter to the woman with grit and push. Stenography, telegraphing, canvassing, agencies of various kinds offer ready money to geniuses in their lines. Authors, contributors and correspondent for journals of various kinds can be filled by efficient and capable writers. In fact we see no reason why any girl need dispair or think her chances limited or her efforts circumscribed. The door of opportunity is still wide, wide open. All that is needed is the courage, confidence and determination to enter in and make the best of yourself as others before you have done. Not Color but Character. Toronoto, Ont.—That the Canadian law is no respecter of color, and that persons who subject colored people to indignities because they are not white skinned are liable for damages, were principles of British justice laid down firmly by Judge Morson in the Tenth Divi- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1907. sion Court, The case was that of Taylor vs Orpen. Mrs. Taylor and her son were ejected from the floor of the Granite Roller Skating rink, of which A. M. Orpen is lessee, because they were colored. In the witness box Mrs. Taylor made an eloquent plea and received the compliments of his honor on the presentation of her case. Mrs. Taylor told her story. She lived in the city thirty odd years. "Did they say why you could not stay in the rink? asked the judge. 'Yes—they said color' I said, Do you mean to say that I cannot go into the rink because of my color? They said 'Yes' I am an Anglo Saxon, and I have lived in this city thirty years,' said Mrs. Taylor, I have nine children, seven of whom are sons. Two of my sons have gadanned from Canada's universities, and one of them is practicing medicine in the far West. Never before have I been subject to such indignities I consider it a libel on my character, and that the antipathy and trouble which have resulted from the action of the Granite rink people entitles me to damages. The rink people have a perfect right to refuse to sell a ticket to anybody—colored or otherwise if they so desire, said the judge but once a ticket has been sold to any person they are bound to admit them. In this country nobody has a right to subject anybody to indignities because of his color. Be he black or white, Chinese or of any race, he or she is entitled to respect and protection. The judge said they were entitled to damages and he would look up the law as to the amount. A WELCOME DEATH. The most welcome news received from Atlanta, Ga., within the last six months was the announcement that the Atlanta News, an afternoon newspaper published in that city, had gone into liquidation. It was this sheet which through its offer of one thousand dollars reward for a lynching in Fulton County, its advocacy of Kukluxism and its sensational extras proclaiming in boldface type alleged criminal assaults committed by Negroes, that brought about the Atlanta massacre. It is a distinct gain to the South that this malevolent sheet, this breeder of race-hatreds, has died. It would have been better for Atlanta had the news never been born. In its last will and testament, as it were, the subscription lists, advertising accounts, and good will were left to the Atlanta Georgian, of which John Temple Graves, a monomaniac on the Negro question, is editor. We are glad that The News is dead and hope that in a few weeks The Georgian will be numbered among the dead and missing. Newspapers are not supposed to go to Hades when they die—they have it here on earth. But the former editor of The News, the present editor of the Georgian and the editor of a certain daily paper in this city, will certainly have choice seats in the infernal regions if there is any truth in the religion which the white man professes. The News' death is mourned only by its owners and creditors.—The Nashville Globe. WORDS OF ADVICE The colored men who are employed as porters, waiters and cooks, or in fact any kind of position, may expect competition from the Japanese and Chinemen who are pouring into this country by the hundreds, and who are industrious, frugal and saving. The time is at hand that this class of colored men, who have held their places for the last forty years, or rather all their lives, begin to open their eyes and prepare for the struggle that is yet to come. Be punctual, polite and attentive, and save your money. Invest it in farm land, real estate and the like, and when you are not wanted in these public jobs you will be in a position to make one for yourself. We spend entirely too much money foolishly and profligately, particularly that class of workers. If we had only saved 10 per cent of our earnings and invested it in real estate and other business, we would have been much further advanced than we are today. The colored man must get a move on himself, or be forever lost. There is no excuse for high living by aping people who are wealthy, and have had all the advantages for years and still have. The fathers and mothers of the younger generation must teach strict economy to their children. Excursions and automobiles, high-priced clothing and other luxuries too numerous to mention, which we could not afford, have been a curse. The cause of our proPERTY can be traced directly to this source of extravagant pleasures and, too, in most cases it has been spent with a class of people who do not appreciate nor recognize us to this day. Had they spent their money for the few necessities, and saved the rest for needy times, or when it had amounted to something, they would have been a great deal better off in every particular. And another great mistake we have made and are still making is that we spend our money in most cases with white men who will give every nationality upon God's green earth a position except the colored man. And yet we continue working and tugging at our menial positions swelling his bank account. If we must ape and imitate the white man, let it be the best, the bravest, and the truest.—Portland Advocate. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Benjamin Walker, a property man of Williams & Walker's Company, who stole $1000 from the trunk of Bert A. Williams at Pittsburg, was arrested as he alighted from the train at Harrisburg, Pa., on January 13. He is no relation to George W. Walker. Boston, Mass.—Professor Philip B. Marcon, who resigned his position because of a suit for $25,000 in breach of promise brought against him by Miss Alice Manley, a pretty colored woman, was assistant professor of romance languages at Harvard. Prof. Marcon is wealthy and Miss Manley lives in a lavishly furnished house in Cambridge. The defendant is sixty years old and a Frenchman by birth. He graduated from Harvard in 1876. From then until 1882 he studied languages in Europe, becoming instructor at Harvard in 1889 and assistant professor of romance languages in 1897. He has engaged counsel. Claude Smith, 16 years old, a young colored boy, the first and only colored member of the Boonville, Ind., High School, defeated his 21 classmates in a recent examination. Smith was the student who obtained full credit on his mathematics, and he fell only a few points below in his other studies. None of the white students equaled the record of Smith. When he was enrolled as a member of the High School the feeling between the white male students and the colored lad was anything but good. Several students made attempts to haze him. One of the boys who jeered him has been sent back to the grammar grades, failing to keep up in his studies, while Smith kept up in every study. Washington, Feb. 11.—The "shooting up" of Brownsville, Texas, was in the form of an attack upon the garrison at Fort Brown, according to the testimony given today by Mingo Sanders, former first sergeant of company B. of the Twenty-fifth infantry, before the senate committee on military affairs. Sanders said that while running from his quarters to Company D barracks after being awakened by the firing upon the night of August 13, the shooting was going on and it came from the town and was toward the hospital on the military reservation. This is the first direct testimony given by any NO. 21. of the discharged Negro soldiers that the fire came from the town. Sanders was cross-examined by Senator Warner. He repeated that many of the shots came from the town, and said that he had reported this fact to Major Penrose, although it did not appear in his evidence taken by Captain Lyons. Sanders stated that that there were about nine guns out of the company's racks on the night of the shooting, but they were all accounted for. TILLMAN'S THRESHING. "I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you," the artist Whistler once declared to a would-be disputant. In much the same spirit Senator Spooner took occasion the other day to inform Senator Tillman in plain terms as to this manner in which he is regarded by the majority of his fellow citizens. It is regretable that there should be necessity for thus holding up to public scorn a member of the nation's highest legislative body, but that it was somebody's duty to do so cannot be denied. Tillman is the bad boy of the senate. His chastement once in so oft'en is a public duty, a disagreeable one, but unavoidable. Senator Spooner should receive the thanks of a grateful nation for performing the job in such a neat, workmanlike manner. In his advocacy of resistance to the law Tillman is virtually an anarchist. The amount of evil this man has wrought by his public support of lynching and fanning of the flame of race prejudice can never be e estimated. Tillman is thick skinned. He can endure much chastisement, but under Senator Spooner's artistic application of the lash he squirmed visibly. This is a good sign. Let the well-deserved punishment be continued at every opportunity. Tillman has developed from a national nuisance to a malodorous disgrace.—Pittsburg times. "Don't Fit Negroes Shoes." The above was the information received by Dr. S. S. Caruthers, from a clerk in the store of Cline and Gordon last week, when he asked to be shown a pair of shoes. Dr. Caruthers states, that he entered the store of Cline and Gordon, and in a very polite way, asked to be shown a pair of shoes, to fit himself, and the reply in a very mean and adrupt manner. "We don't fit shoes on niggers," was handed out to him. There are a great many Negroes who wear shoes from the store of Cline and Gordon, and we wonder, is it true that they buy shoes through Negro agents try them on at home or on the street, and take chances on being fitted and satisfied. How long: Oh how long, will Negroes continue to go to places where they are not wanted, to spend their money.—Nashville Clarion. LEGISLATIVE NEWS AND GOSSIP estry and game is engaged in comDin- ing the good points in all the game Ville presented in order to have them in one or two bills. Mr. Lehrritter ap- peared before the committee Wednes- day, submitting an argument in favor of his bill that will provide for the con- demnation by the state of all fish streams. He explained that the state had enacted a law twe years ago pro- viding that fish from the hatcheries should be placed only in those streams. that were open to public fishing, He wished to make the law even more ef- fective by securing to the state the cwnership of all fishing streams. ‘The committee appeared inclined to fayor lis measure. Senate Bill No. 284, by Senator Bardwell, to regulate wage brokers, or loan sharks, as they are sometimes called, has been favorably reported by the senate judiciary committee. This bill provides that no person or asso- ciation shall establish or conduct the business of wage broker in the state without first procuring a license from proper authorities, consisting of the board of county commissioners in any particular county. A provision of the Dill Is to the effect that no wage earner ean assign any part of his or her wages which may not be earned within a period of thirty days; that is to say, that no one working for wages can as- sign more than a month’s salary at a time. ‘The interest to bé exacted by the broker shall not exceed two per cent. per month, which is to include ail commissions and other charges. No assignment of wages by a married man, who is the head of a family residing in the state, will be valid without the consent of his wife, who shall sign the papers with him. No minor shall make any- assignment at all. There are other provisions which practically revolutionize the present laws governing such loans. If the present plans of the State Board of Capitol Managers are carried out, the State Horticultural Board, the mining bureau, the war relics museum and the State Historical Soclety will have to move from the capitol. The officials in charge of these offices are Mrs. Martha Shute, Commissioner B. Lyman White, Custodian W. W. Fer- guson and Curator Will C. Ferril. They are now preparing to fight the expected order of eviction. The capl- tol board has no objection to these officials in particular but it takes the position that the files of papers be- loaging to the State Horticultural So- ciety, which are stored in the basement and sub-basement, are a menace to the whole building on account of the pos- sibilities they offer for fire. Further- more, they argue that the business of the state is increasing to such an ex- tent that the space occupied by the exhibits of the departments named is actually needed for executive purposes. The board proposed at an outlay of $11,000 to buy the two vacant lots across trom the capitol building, at Sherman and East Fourteenth aven- ues, and upon these lots to erect a suitable fireproof building in which the valuable exhibits owned by the four departments might be established, Senator Millard’s bill for a consti- tutional amendment allowing the State University to maintain a medical de par{ment, failed of passage in the Sen- ate Wednesday, receiving but 20 voter out of the 33 cast, while the law calls for a twothirds majority to amend the constitution. ‘The bill had the act ive opposition of Governor Buchtel and others specially interested in the med feal school of the University of Den- ver. In the discussion Senator Taylor said he had been voting for the bill ten years and would continue to do so. He favored the building up of the State University and thought the medical department should have all the facili- ties afforded in Denver. Senator Clay- ton explained that two years ago he had voted against the Dill, but this year he decided to vote in favor of it, for numerous reasons which he ex: pounded at length. Senator Bardwell opposed the bill, and Senator De Long favored it. Senator Millard, author of the bill, said every university of any size has medical departments in cities, where facilities may be afforded stud- ents. He cited nineteen cities where this Is true. Senator Robertson, a phy- sician, said the medical department of the Siate University had been neg- lected. Senator Barela said that he ob- Jected to the expense which the bill would entail. A meeting of the Senate committee ‘on agriculture was held after adjourn- ment Friday to consider 8. B. Nos. 219 and 220, by Senator Drake. These bills provide that the land originally donated to the state by the federal government, known as state lands," be taken out of the entire jurisdiction of the State Land Board and placed in the joint control of that board and that of the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins. Originally these lands were given to the state by the gov. ernment for the support of the Agri. cultural college, but out of the original 90,000 acres only 40,000 remain. Other states, as was explained by Eugene Grubb of the Agricultural college board, have parted with all the lands given them by the government. at low prices. Mr. Grubb urged that the state should retain the balance of its lands for the reason that if it does so the to oversee improvements on the Capl- tol grounds, was killed In the House. Secretary of State O'Connor asks a new clerk in the tax department, whose salary 1s to be $1,200. He also asks un increase in the salary of the index clerk to $1,500. Secretary Hagar of the State Board of Charities and Correction wants his salary increased from $1,500 to $2,000; wants an assistant secretary at $1,500, and a stenographer at $1,200. Martha A. Shute, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, who re ceives a salary of $1,000, wants to con- tinue in her present position at $2,000 per annum. She also wants an allow- ance of $1,200 for a stenographer. Curator Ferrill of the State Histort- cal and Natural History Society wants an increase in the salary of his mu- seum assistant of $200, that individual now receiving $800. He also asks an allowance of $1,800 for two $900 clerks. Governor Buchtel wants an Increase in the salary of his private secretary from $1,500 to $2,100; an allowance of $2,400 for the salaries of two sten- ographer-clerks. If the allowance for two stenographer-clerks is made, the present position of stenographer-clerk at $1,500 will be abolished. Mr. Drake's Senate bill to regulate the practice of barbering was brought up in the Senate on third reading and final passage, having been received from the printer in amended form. A number of minor amendments were made by unanimous consent and the bill passed by a vote of 24 to 6. The Board of Health has been mak- ing eads meet on $5,000 a year, but the passage of the pure food bill’ will in- ciease the work of the office, and make necessary an allowance estimated at $19,700. Of this $9,300 is the sum specified as directly due to the duties imposed upon the board by the pure food law—if it passes, and $5,400 addi- tional is wanted for use in the ordi- nary course of business, of a depart- ment which claims to have been sadly neglected in the past. Mr. Cannon's bill to give power of arrest to agents of the Humane Soci- ety came up Wednesday to involve the House in a debate that promised to be endless. Mr. Lawrence led the attack on the bill, which was due to com- plaints made of the actions of agents of the society. Most of the represen- tatives from the sonthern counties supported Mr, Lawrence, so that the bill was killed by striking out its en- acting clause. ‘The Honse committee on constitu: tional amendments is expected to re- port favorably on Mr, Fetzer’s bill pro- viding for the funding of all outstand- ing legal warrants of the state, issued prior to 1897. ‘The amount for which the state 1s held 1s $825,934.68, and this ie increasing each year, owing to the interest charges. ‘The bill provides for a constitutional amendment to legal- ize the issue of bonds, as it can be done in no other way. Senate bill 26, by Senator Booth, has passed second reading in the Senate. It is a Dill to establish civil service rules in state institutions and munic- {palities. The state institutions af- fected will be five in number, but not those of an educational character. The bill also allows municipalities to adopt the provisions of the act and ap- ply civil service rules to the conduct of civic affairs. The main feature of the measure is that the governor shall appoint a civil service commission, comprising three persons to serve six years, four years, and two years, re- spectively. Senator Scott’s Anti-Pass Bill has been favorably considered by the ju- diciary committee of the Senate. The Dill prohibits the acceptance or use of free railroad passes, telegraph or telephone franks by public officers and 4s couched in the most drastic terms. It provides that no railroad company on or after May 1, 1907, shall issue any free transportation, directly or in- directly, the penalty for violation be- ing a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $4000. Similar provisions apply to telegraph and telephone com- panies. It 1s understood among the Repub- lican members that work on a bank- ing bill will be started the moment the Bardwell Investigating committee com- pletes and publishes its report on the three failed institutions which it looked into. This report will _ be taken as a basis for a bill whose chief object will be to restore confidence to the small depositor and make the pri- vate banks and depositing institutions under whatever name they may do business as safe as the national banks. Senator Wood's bill for a state flag or banner has successfully passed sec- ond reading in the Senate. It is a bill to create a state flag or banner for the state of Colorado, to consist of the state coatofarms’ upon a dark blue ground, after a model in the govern- or’s office made by Mrs. J, J. Hager- man. Senator Scott opposed the cre- ation of any other state emblem out- side of the national colors. Senator Anfenger sald the legislation was un- necessary, as the state emblem can now be used by associations desiring to do so. Nevertheless the bill met with the favor of the Senate.

AGES OF TEN TO FIFTEEN Most of Them Get Little Schooling—Fortunately the Greater Number Work on Farms—Large Proportion in Mills and Factories. Washington.—The extent of which child labor is employed in the United States is set forth in a bulletin issued by the census bureau yesterday. The statistics presented are for 1900, and relate to the employment of children as breadwinners, of whom 1,750,000, in round numbers, between the ages of ten and fifteen, were so employed. Breadwinners are defined as those earning money regularly by labor, contributing to the family support, or appreciably assisting in mechanical or agricultural industry. By far the most important occupation for children is that of agricultural laborers, the number of children ten to fifteen years of age so employed being 1,654,446. About two-thirds of the total number of child breadwinners were employed on the farm, and most of these children were members of the farmers' families. Next in importance comes domestic service, or the occupation of servants and waiters or waitresses, in which 138,065 children were employed, most of them being girls. About one-third of the children employed in gainful occupations were fifteen years of age, and more than one-half were fourteen or fifteen years. The number of fourteen was 790,623, or 45.2 per cent, of the whole. Of the total number of child breadwinners ten to fifteen years of age 72.2 per cent, were boys and 27.8 per cent, girls. Almost invariably the percentage of breadwinners is much greater among foreign-born children than among native children. The percentage of breadwinners among negro children is much higher than among white children. The cotton mills furnish employment to children to a greater extent than any other manufacturing or mechanical industry. In 1900 the number of cotton mill operatives ten to fifteen years of age was 44,427. Of the 71,622 messengers and errand and office boys in the United States, sixty-two per cent, were district telegraph messengers and errand boys, 23.3 per cent, were office boys and 14.7 per cent, were bundle and cash boys or girls. Nine-tenths of the children employed in such service are boys. Of the 23,657 children for whom statistics were specially compiled, 17,956, or 75.9 per cent., were living in homes with their parents; 3,380, representing 14.3 per cent., or approximately one-seventh of the total number, were living with widowed mothers, and 578, or two and four-tenths per cent., with mothers who were living apart from their husbands, and whose economic position was therefore likely to be analogous to that of a widow. The number of children that were either fatheless, or were not living with fathers, was 4,943, representing about one-fifth of the total number. The percentage of school children in the total population, five to nine years of age, enumerated in the United States was 53.3, which is only a little higher than the percentage (50.6) shown for selected families included in this study. Of the number of children ten to fourteen years of age in these families, only 31.9 per cent. were at school, while the corresponding percentage for the total number of children of that age in the United States was 79.8. But after these children reach the age at which the opportunity for employment as wage earners begins, their school attendance suffers. In the families with child breadwinners, schooling rarely extends beyond the age of thirteen. Of the children fourteen years of age, 97.4 per cent. were employed, and only 1.6 per cent. were at school. Of the total number of children ten to fourteen years of age in the United States, seven and one-tenth per cent, were illiterate, as compared with 18.8 per cent, for the child breadwinners of the same age included in this tabulation. For the messengers and errand and office boys the per cent. of illiteracy is comparatively small. By far the greatest degree of illiteracy is that shown for the children in cotton mills. In the South almost one-half of the cotton mill operatives ten to fourteen years of age are illiterate, and about one-fourth of those fifteen to twenty years of age. The smaller percentage in the older group of operatives would indicate that a good many of these children learn to read and write after they are ten years of age. But the percentage of illiteracy in the older group is still very high, rendering it probable that large numbers of these children are destined to remain illiterate for the rest of their lives.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY day of the great emancipator occurred last day of the land the occasion was celebrated in public places and banquets and speech. Then now a household word throughout the city, a man who loved and in turn was as the classes, because he remained soudent, the highest office in the gift of the slippers in the white house, black cloth, guard bony frame and lived a life so辛辛苦苦, that it would seem a treadmill to me, a reader of the scripture every morning out of place with the aristocracy and demi-simple living contributed to high thinking, noble and unselfish acting, patriotic and that made his name great. Great amour in time but of all time, for many of the chief Justice Faney, Stephen Douglas, Davenport Trumbul, Wade, Pierce and other love, devotion, conviction, mercy, justice, statute-like Lincoln, America's great color problem would have been difficult would have directed the reconstruction and be facing political sunlight instead of rhetorically speaking, the thinking Negro student's bier as the anniversary of his bury memory be not forgotten. The birthday of the great emancipator occurred last Tuesday. In nearly every city of the land the occasion was celebrated by suspended business in public places and banquets and speech. The name of Abraham Lincoln is now a household word throughout the world. A commoner of the people, a man who loved and in turn was beloved by the masses as well as the classes, because he remained so close to them. Although President, the highest office in the gift of the people, he wore old time carpet slippers in the white house, black cloths that no tailor could make fit gaunt bony frame and lived a life so simple, amid the greatest of plenty, that it would seem a treadmill to most of us. An early riser and a reader of the scripture every morning, Lincoln would seem entirely out of place with the aristocracy and democracy of today, but Lincoln's simple living contributed to high thinking. It was his high thinking, noble and unselfish acting, patriotic ardor and clear statesmanship that made his name great. Great among the great not only of his own time but of all time, for many of the men of his day were great, Chief Justice Faney, Stephen Douglas, David Davis, Thurlow Weed, Lyman Trumbul, Wade, Pierce and others, but towering above them in love, devotion, conviction, mercy, justice, unselfishness stood the gaunt statute-like Lincoln, America's great commoner. Had Lincoln lived, our color problem would have been different. His wisdom and justice would have directed the reconstruction measures and today we would be facing political sunlight instead of political uncertainty. Metaphorically speaking, the thinking Negro lays a wreath on the dead President's bier as the anniversary of his birth comes and goes. May his memory be not forgotten.

The newspaper like the church stands for all that is highest and best in the community. They are the Beacon Lights for knowledge, intelligence and advancement, but when the church for the sake of enthusiasm, emotion or to satisfy some old time whimsical ideas permits an ignoramus, jackleg preacher, without knowledge, preparation or good sense to fill their pulpits and do hallelujah stunts in the rostrum to the shame of intelligence and the mortification of the saints, but for the satisfaction of a few back numbers, it is time for the press to speak out, and speak plainly. The shame of it is that sensible men and women would tolerate this kind of a thing in Denver for a moment shows how easy it is for a people to revert to former times. It also shows how little real appreciation is given to men who are giving the best talent they have to exalt religion and make the church the example of the high wisdom and intelligence that it ought to be. It is no wonder that good ministers often grow impotent when they see how little a high standard of talent is rewarded in Colored churches. While many Denver people are not church members yet when they do go to church they wish to be informed, instructed and led in intelligent worship. To encourage weak men in the pulpit is to invite destruction to the cause of religion. May that day never come to Denver. THE THAW CASE. or has made no mention up to this time, now attracting the attention of the reading, the lewdness, filth and immorality that lately to enter the homes and minds of our men are peddling the nauseating facts in our life is reading hungeringly we shall say, why of the Negro is often discanted upon the sentiment and prejudice against the Negro looks white to the bestiality and in New York.

This paper has made no mention up to this time of this famous case that is now attracting the attention of the reading world because we felt that the lewedness, filth and immorality that lay at the bottom of it was too vile to enter the homes and minds of our readers, but since the daily press are peddling the nauseating facts in detailed accounts and the public is reading hungeringly we shall say a few words. The immorality of the Negro is often discanted upon and aired to the public to create sentiment and prejudice against the race, but the iniquity of the Negro looks white to the bestiality and immorality of the four hundred in New York. New York's society are past masters in the art of depravity as compared to the Negro in his vilest condition. If there is anything to surpass this famous Thaw case in Sodom or Gomorrah or Babylon or Rome in its highest carnival of insatiable wickedness we would like to know it. The Thaw case is the limit of sensuality and from now on writers on the depravity of the Negro ought to hold their noses and laundry their own dirty linen before telling anything about the shortcoming of the Negro, and when one considers that these are not the poor and ignorant but the East's cultured and wealthy class it is all the more to be wondered that the Negro is as honest and possess the virtue that he does since he is the servants in these homes and sees these practices carried on by the best class of white society. It is time for the preachers of social purity to let the Negro alone and begin to clean in front of their own doors.

As their employers' interests advance, those who help make the success advance with the business. But, instead, some employees will not make time, will not do good work, but are ready to quit before time and kick if they work overtime. Such people are only time-servers; they have no interest in their employers' welfare and yet if they lost their jobs to-morrow they would have no place to go. Another thing we ought to learn, don't transact your personal affairs at your employer's place of business. This kind of work is certain to ruin any man or any business.

The most convincing proof of this is the ardor with which some of the most brilliant women lend their oratory in stump speeches just before parliamentary elections. The heart and soul of representative English women are in the suffragist work! So much for what has been accomplished directly in the open field in England. The indirect benefits which have been the outcome of the seemingly hopeless struggle for suffragists' rights, there as here, are too manifold and now too distinctly a part of our everyday life to bear repetition in this short article. But if this is enough about the women of England, please let me have a word all my own, for I am burning to talk to the women of America. They are representative women of the world, and the time has arrived when the vigorous young American woman with ideals must take up this great suffragist work, the seed of which was planted 40 years ago by a few fearless women, and having died down to take root, is now rising above the soil to be nurtured and garnered and fostered as the healing plant of all the nations. To the girl who loves her freedom, to the mother who cherishes the pure manhood of her son, to the woman who would stand herself and have her sisters stand intellectually and morally on an equal plane with great and good men, let me speak the message of the mission which has prompted me to return to and to remain in my native land. It is that what remaining power and enthusiasm I have left may be devoted to inspiring the generation now rising to womanhood, with the vastness, the magnificence, the saving grace of a movement which makes all men free, not by cowering the strong, but by strengthening the weak.

Ours is a world in which the clerk suffers in the financial failure of his employer; where the officeholder is ruined by the political mistakes of the party leader; where the child is destroyed by the sins of the father. Employers sometimes suffer grievously by reason of economic events over which they have no control; sometimes the citizen suffers through the sensational press; sometimes the author or editor suffers through cruel criticism over events for whose evil consequences he is in no wise responsible. This problem of unjust judgment and this bearing of injustice in silence is one of the hardest problems that man experiences. Injustice public men have to endure in silence. Within a year the papers were full of harsh criticisms upon an eminent and most honored citizen of the republic. The bolts fell out of a clear sky. After 50 years of noble and just living, and the highest form of service, it was said that this man had reversed the whole tenor of his life. Then, when the harm had all been done, and the poisoned arrows planted, the truth came out. The whole fabric was a series of malicious lies. The need of the hour is for justice and truth in judgment. The full facts are perhaps never before any of us. But in general men are far better than they are believed to be. The good in the world outweighs the ill. The prophet saw man as part gold and part clay, but the proportion of gold is more and more and the clay is less and less. The world has had too many teachers poisoned unjustly. Too many reformers martyred without cause. Too many heroes who are vicitims of malignity, jealousy and hate. God holds even scales. Lying weights, the tampering of the measuring through prejudice, have no place in His judgment. There is too much good in the worst men and too much bad in the best men to leave any place for injustice, harshness or cruelty. To speak only good of the dead and the living alike is a rule that ought to stand first. It is Time to Call a Halt By RABBI T. SCHANFARBER. see in them their brothers; when fraud, corruption, dishonesty, grab and graft and loot take place in the city, the state and the federal legislative halls; when senators are entrapped in land-grabbing schemes and unholy family relationships; when deacons of the church rent out their hotels for low and immoral purposes because this nets them a large income on their investment; when devotees of the church and synagogue rent out their tumble-down, ramshackle, uninhabitable tenement houses to the poor, because they bring them usurious returns; when the youth of this country are stunted and blunted and dwarfed through inhuman child labor; when factories and railroad crossings and the murderous railroads send thousands to an untimely grave, the time has come for every lover of humanity to cry a halt and to use every influence to have such legislation passed as will make these things an impossibility in the coming years.

In England all women, from the shop girl to the lady at court, are actively interested in politics. It is true that they do not vote, but this is not because they do not want to. It is simply because they have no desire to demand their vote until they know that their rank and file will realize why and for what they are voting. And they are wise enough to understand that this is a question of time and growth.

Ingredients Needed For This Most Appetizing Winter Dessert. Weigh after it is chopped three pounds lean, tender beef. Add to it a pound and a quarter of suet, chopped and freed from strings, six pounds tart apples, preferably Baldwins or greenings, chopped, six pounds sugar, four pounds seeded raisins, three pounds currants washed and dried, one-half pound citron cut in thin shreds, three pints sweet cider, one quart of stock in which the meat was boiled, three pints cider boiled down thick, three tablespoonfuls powdered cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls cloves, one teaspoonful each mace, allspice and nutmeg, two tablespoonfuls salt, one teaspoonful white pepper, one pint molasses, three pints jelly, and as much more juice of preserves or jelly as the housewife may elect. Brandy, sherry or rose water may be added at the last if desired. Chopped prunes are deemed better than currants by some cooks, while candied orange or lemon peel, a little cold tea or coffee may always be added with advantage. This mince meat may be scaled before putting in the brandy or simply canned in glass jars or stone pots without cooking, its richness insuring its keeping. For the flat dweller, with no store room facilities, this amount of mince meat might have to be halved or quartered, but with a good cellar or cold storage room the amount will be found just about right to last the winter for the average family with normal appetites. TO SERVE WITH ROAST BEEF. New England Yorkshire Pudding a Palatable Accessory. I often wished to have on my table the famous pudding which accompanies "the roast beef of Old England," but in my modern American kitchen I had no way of suspending a roast over the batter while cooking. Besides, my taste ran to light fluffy things made with baking powder, and my one attempt at using the old English recipe for Yorkshire pudding turned out a heavy, soggy affair. One day I used a little ingenuity with my recipe and since then the pudding has been a welcome addition to a roast beef course in my home. I take a pint of sweet milk, a pinch of salt, three beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of baking powder, and enough flour to make a batter of the consistency of pancake batter. I pour about one-fourth of a cupful of hot gravy from the roast into a hot dripping pan, put the batter in, letting the fat gravy spread to the sides of the pan, and then I scatter more gravy over the batter in little puddles, and bake it 20 minutes in a hot oven. Cut into squares with a heated knife and served with the roast beef as hot as possible, it is very palatable—Housekeeper. To Clean Rag Rugs. A rag rug, after months of hard usage, should be thoroughly beaten, then hung up on the clothesline and a full force of water from a garden hose should be turned on it. After the rug is well dampened, a washing powder must be rubbed into the tufting and the water continued until the water that runs off begins to look clear. Let it drain well, then turn on a third stream for a final rinse. Leave it on the line until dry. Unbleached cotton and linen can be bleached in a similar manner and save much labor. Pin the cotton securely on the line, drench it thoroughly with the hose and leave it hanging; as soon as it is dry renew the spraying. Tea Cake. Sift four cupfuls of dried flour into a bowl and chop into it a scant cupful of butter. Dissolve half a yeast cake in four tablespoonfuls of warm water and stir it into two cupfuls of milk, or enough to make a soft dough. Roll this out into a sheet and cut into cakes as large as a tea plate and less than half an inch thick. Set them, covered lightly, in a warm place until they have nearly trebled in thickness. Bake in a floured pan. Keep them covered for 20 minutes, then brown. Run a sharp knife around the edge, tear the cake open, butter and serve upon a plate lined and covered with a heated napkin. Jack London as a Cook. Jack London's recipe for the cooking of wild duck is so simple that it just misses attaining the distinction of being the easiest cooking formula known: "Stuff the duck with a bunch of celery, or spread the interior of the carcass liberally with celery salt. Then roast for 14 minutes." If you are duly exact about following this rule your duck will be blood rare, and, if you will do nothing to it save dust it with salt and paprika, it will simply melt in your mouth—February Bohemian. Postage Stamps. It is often desired to separate postage stamps that are stuck together without destroying the gum. This can be done by dipping the stamps in water for a few seconds only, shaking off the excess of water and heating with a match as much as possible without burning. The heat expands the water between the stamps and separates them, so that they can be easily pulled apart, and are ready for use. Salad Dressing Two cups of milk, two tablespoons corn starch, moistened with some of the milk, four tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of salt, one small tablespoon of dry mustard, three eggs beat en well, two tablespoons of butter, one cup of vinegar. VAST WEALTH OURS UNITED STATES RICHEST COUNTRY ON EARTH. Outstripping Anything That Ever Has Been Known in History Is the Measure of Uncle Sam's The United States is the wealth country in the world. In the bran span of its young life this infant nation of ours has broken all records relating to the accumulation of riches, and we are beginning to think of billions instead of millions. Take it any way you like, and the measure of our affluence outstrips anything that has ever been known before, says the New York Sun. Our country has more actual money, more gold, a larger volume of exports, greater banking facilities, richer farms, more productive mines, more millionaires, more well-to-do tradesmen, more independent farmers, more highly paid laborers and a greater distribution of the luxuries which riches bring than any other nation has ever enjoyed since time began. One day last October Uncle Sam had gathered into his money storehouse in Washington the greatest amount of gold ever collected at one place in the history of the world—gold representing $871,893,899. This was indeed a high-water mark. We had there in one little room more gold than was in circulation in Great Britain. The largest receipt ever given, the greatest money trust ever undertaken in history, was when the present treasurer of the United States, Charles H. Treat, went into office. He receipts to Ellis H. Roberts, the retiring treasurer, for all the money and securities in the vaults of the treasury, a total of $1,259,598,278.58. It required from July 1 to September 5 to count the money, and at the completion of the task the accounts balanced to a fraction. The costliest governmental establishment in the world is the British navy, upon which a billion and a half has been expended within the last ten years. Yet three individual Americans—Rockefeller, Carnegie and Clark—could have paid the whole bill and still have some pocket money left. The United States is now spending about a hundred millions a year on its navy, and we are new at this kind of expenditure. That we are not investing more than we can afford is shown by the fact that our display-loving women spent $100,000,000 for diamonds purchased in foreign lands during the last two years. In fact, we are so rich that the sales of produce and manufactured articles that we are sending abroad each year is equal to a sum sufficient to support all the navies in the world. When it comes in individual wealth we have a dozen citizens who are worth more than all the kings and rulers of the world, taken collectively or severally. The czar of Russia is reputed to have a greater income than any other living man, but his private fortune is so mixed up with the governmental revenues that it is impossible to separate them. If a distinction could be made John D. Rockefeller could undoubtedly make a comparison with the weak-spined Nicholas, and show the biggest pile. The Russian monarch's wealth is the accumulation of an empire, centuries old in the making, while the Ohio oil magnate can remember when he had nothing. To say that the total valuation of the wealth of the United States is $107,000,000,000 is not understandable. A hundred billion dollars is such a pile of money that the simple mind cannot grasp its meaning on the instant. It is more than twice the total amount of the wealth of the United Kingdom, of France, or of Germany; and over three times that of Russia or of Austria-Hungary. Probably the best way of illustrating the actual extent of Uncle Sam's riches is to state that if he could convert all his assets into money he would have nearly four times as much as would be required to pay off the entire national debt of all the governments in the world, including his own. Cost $1,400 to Collect $1. The most expensive member of Uncle Sam's custom service is the collector of the port of the Little Egg harbor (Pa.) district. It's not his fault, however. He's just as vigilant as the hawks of the great port of New York, where it costs about three or four cents to collect one dollar of customs. Dutifiable goods seldom come into Tuckerton, and when 40 cents was returned to Secretary Shaw as the total customs receipts for this district, Collector Frank Willing Leach didn't send with it a letter of apology. He just knew that he couldn't help it if it had cost Uncle Sam at the rate of about $1,400 a year to collect a dollar. Mr. Leach was formerly secretary to Senator Quay. His appointment to the colectorship two years ago at a salary of about $560 annually was a surprise, for it was not known that he was a candidate. He's willing to keep the place, however, and even made a fight to save his district from being abolished, as it is likely to be along with a number of others were the cost of collection is enormously out of proportion to the receipts.

She (tintingly)—Yes, because they feel they need somebody else's opin'on to bolster them up. “no ay | i y ‘ CITY 3 | oD y Mrs. Annie Wims of 1408 Humboldt street, is ill.

Pretense is one of thé fashions of the time. Pretense is becoming so perfected and so general that If a per son should put off all pretense he would run the risk of being charged with affectation. Next to having, the best thing now- adays is seeming to have. There is really some foundation in reason for this kind of pretense, since {t has be- come the fashion of the world to measure a man’s success in life by the dollars he has made. Here is a cable message which tells of a new phrase of pretense: “Paris—The existence of a new and curious business in Paris has just transpired. This is the hiring out of wedding presents to brides, so that they may impress their friends and their acquaintances with the number aad value of their gifts. Jewelry, lace, furs, etc., are lent out for a con- sideration, and after they have served their purpose and been duly chron} cled in the newspapers they are re turned to the owners.

Fools All the Doctors. “There is a hale and hearty looking old chap walking about town,” re- marked a New York physician lately, “who for years has had a complica- tion of diseases which make him most interesting to the profession. The ailments of which he, shows undenia- ble symptoms are rarely seen in com- bination and the state of his inner workings is a matter for speculation among the doctors who have examined him. “The old fellow himself loves to tell that when he first asked medical ad- vice, some twenty years ago, the phy- sician, a famous practitioner in those days, wrote across the diagnosis he had put down on paper: ‘This man cannot live thirty days. I should like to be present at the autopsy.’ That great doctor has been dead these many years and the dying patient still smiles cheerfully and seeks a cure for his malady. Queer, isn't it?” Why He Paid the Fare. ‘Three small boys who were in a crowded car going to a suburban ball game were discussing the effect the cost of the trip would have on their supply of pocket money, and reached the point where they were deciding if they wouldn’t have to walk home if they had to pay to get into the grounds. “I won't,” declared one of the boys. “Why not.” asked his incredulous companions. The boy with the five- cent surplus jerked his head in the direction of a young man on the end of the seat and explained: “He paid my fare.” “Oh, I know what he did that for,” commented one of the youthful cynics. “He's after your sister.—New York Press. On the Subject of Eating. Eating not a pleasant, not an elevat- ing subject? No subject under the blue canopy, no subject to be found between the covers of the fattest en- cyclopaedia, is more worthy of the deepest and the highest and most sus- tained thoughts of man. And probably no other subject recelves half the at- tention which is given to eating. Noth- ing has been more important in the progress of the race than the additions to the vartety of man’s food. In his primitive state, a mere clam eater, he was hardly superior to the beasts that perish. When he became a hunter, seeking the strong meats of wild game, he developed new qualities, ex- panded intellectually and gained in energy, enterprise and ‘endurance. ‘Then came the pastoral and agricul- tural age, with an ucquired taste for yegetation. Every advance has been on the heels of something new to eat. To-day the teeth of man declare him to be omnivorous, though vegetable food is still a heavy tax on his powers of digestion. He lacks those multiple gastric arrangements by the aid of which the cow, for example, is able to subsist on vegetable food alone. This lack Senor Santos will discover and deplore long before he shall acquire that meditative cud, the mastication of which gives to the cow the serenity and repose which is the object of the Spaniard’s grazing.—Atlantic. Growing Old. ‘A little more gray in the lessening hatr, Each day as the years go by; A little more stooping in the form, ‘A little more dim in the eye. A Iittle more faltering of the step As we tread life's pathway o'er, And a little nearer every day {fo the ones who have gone before. A little more halting of the gait, And a dullness of the ear; A growing weariness of the frame With each swift passing year. ‘A fading of hopes. and ambitions, too, ‘A faicoring in Ife's quest, And a little nearer every day, ‘To a sweet and peaceful rest. ‘A little more loneliness In life ‘As the dear ones pass away; ‘A Digger claim on the heavenly land ‘With every passing way. ‘A little further from toll and care, ‘A little less way to roam; ‘A drawing near to a peaceful voyage ‘And a happy welcome home.

Here is a little picture of the poet Southey from a recent volume, “Mrs, Brookfield and Her Circle": “I was one day bawling my hoop up and down the royal crescent when Landor appeared walking with his friend Southey. Southey was in an old-fash- foned spencer, his hair tied behind in cue style with a black ribbon, remember quite well his eagle eye and aquiline nose and the excitement of meeting the author of ‘The Curse of Kehama’ in real life.” CAUGHT BY THE GRIP-- RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA. | [ Faey 2 LO es soa 2 Vi — © LZ A { \ Eon lof ‘ \, Pp = ay ; = i SON aa Ct} = Ley 7 REN Se el y é \W" “Se Wm» MAN Ae Fae peared DAN.

Information received by the govern- ment from various Greek provinces {n- dicates that the emigration to America is increasing. A committee of depu: ties has been appointed to look into the matter, and it is probable that measures will be adopted to restrict and limit emigration from Greece. It is estimated that by the end of the year the number of those who haye expatriated themselves will reach 20, 000. Hitherto emigration has taken place principally from the Peloponne- sus, but it is now spreading to central Greece, to Thessaly and the islands. ‘To the last call for conscripts for the army in last September not more than half the usual number responded.

It had passed the House and been {avor- ably recommended by the commiites of the whole in the Senate, go that it appeared almost certain of becoming a law. But at the last there came a storm of protests that proved to be “effective. When the bill was reached on the Senate calendar an effort was made to adjourn in order that some step be taken to amend it so as not to be such a jeopardy to reputable publications, but a majority demanded its slauchier then und there and out it went, Senator Harris opened against it first and said it was a lberty-des:roy- ing bill, Senator Sapp pointed ont that the libel law of this state was strong enough alrezdy and stated that with the bill a law newspapers would be afraid to publish news until the news was more than stale. It was a bill to encourage blackmail, Senator De Long said the intent of the bill was all right but as worde: it would drive country newspapers to the wall, “If the bill drew the line between liberty and license of the press I would vote fer it,” said the senator, “I wish we could do something to ent out the yellow business in journalism; but (his bill would do far more harm than 004. I would rather suffer from the abuse of the sensational newspaper than pro: tect criminals, therefore I will vote against it.” Senator Barela believed that some relief was needed from the irrespons!- ble and sensational sheets and he fa- vored the bill. ‘The vote was a surprise to some, as when the bill was up on second read- ing 1t had seventeen votes.

Fifty bodies re- covered Tuesday also were taken by this steamer. The Kentucky had just cleared the harbor when in came schooners, one after another, with their grewsome loads, and with their flags at halt mast. The little life-saving stations then were once more turned into morgues.

To remove this covering the lifesavers worked long and patiently in the hope of making identification as easy as possible. i A eareful compilation of figures in this city shows that 138 lives are known to have been lost in the dis- aster. It is known that there were not less than 157 persons on board the steamer. Of that _number only nine- teen survived.

JAPANESE CONTROVERSY, President and San Franciscans Reach - an Aqreement. Washington.—The Japanese school controversy is settled insofar as Pres- ident Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Franclseo School Board are concerned. An omicable adjustment of the question now rests with Congress, If the amendment to the immigration bill proposed by Secretary Root, ex- cluding foreigners who use their pass- gerts to gain admission to the United States, “to the detriment of labor con- didens in this country,” is accepted by the Senate and House, and the immi- gration bill is passed at this session of Congress, the San Francisco Board of Education will reseind its order es- tablishing the Oriental schools unless the Japaneses government agrees to a proposition for separate schools which will provide equal facilities for the Japanese children, Schmitz and his associates con- ferred with the President Wednesday und assured Roosevelt that the amendment to the immigration bill was entirely satisfactory to them. While the Californians are still hope- ful that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese “umbassador, will agree to separate ‘schools in California, they stand will- ing to rescind the order establishing the Oriental schools, and again admit Japanese children to the white schools.

NATION TO RETAIN THE TITLE Special Message Advocatcs Leasing System Both for Coal Lands anc Grazing Lands—Wants Appropria- tion to Detect and Prevent Frauds. message calling attention to what he terms the “urgent need of legislation affecting the different phases of the public land situation in the United States.” He advocates the conservatism of coai and other fuel resources on lands still belonging to the government, saying that henceforth the nation should retain its title to its fuel re- sources; urges government contro] of the western public pastures, with a system of small grazing fees, ete,, and asks for an appropriation of half a mil- Hon dollars, immediately available, in addition to present estimates, to aid in detecting and preventing land frauds. He contends for a system of govern- ment leasing of its mineral lands and for treating these fuel lands as public utilities, The President points out that it would have been better if some castern coal lands had been left under govern. ment control, and suggests provision in the West “against recurrence of tho conditions we deplore in the East.” Citing 2,300 cases of public land en- tries in four districts mentioned, the President says no compliance with tho law was found in over half of them and deliberate fraud in many cases. ‘The President first refers to his pre- vious message to Congress on the sub: ject and again calls attention to the importance of such legislation as would provide for title to and develop- ment of the surface land as separate and distinct from the right to the un- certying mineral fuels in regions where these may occur, and the dis: posal of those mineral fuels under a lecsing system on conditions which would inure to the benefit of the public as a whole. He says he cares little for the details and that the prime need is that the system should be estab: lished. The message in part says: “Such a leasing system as that pro- pesed represents by no means an un- tried policy. In the Australian coun- tries during the last fifteen years coal has been mined under a system of gov ernment leases and on conditions sc favorable for development that their coul and coke are to-day being sold on the Pacific coast of both the American centinents. In all the great coal-pro ducing European countries except Great Britain coal fs being mined un der government leases, “In Great Britain leases are granted almost entirely by the private land owrers, but there, as in other coun: tries, the surface culture and the min- ing operations are conducted inde- pendently of each other. In Nova Sco tia, British Columbia, India and other British+colonies a government leasing system has been adopted and is work ing satisfactorily. “Mineral fuels, like the forests and navigable streams, should be treated as public utilities. This is generally recognized abroad. In some foreigt ecuntries practical control of a large fortion of the fuel resources was al: lowed years ago to pass into private hands, but the existing governments are endeavoring to regain this control in order that diminishing fuel supply may be safeguarded for the common good, instead of being disposed of for the benefit of the few—though the mis- take of the preceding generation in dieposing of these fuels for a nominal return cannot always be corrected by the present generation, as the cost may be so enormous as to be prohib- tory. “In our own western states and ter- ritories the scarcity of both water and forests has rengered necessary their preservation as public utilities and the preservation of the forests for the pur- pore of conserving both the waters and the timber supply has come to be recognized as the wise and proper policy of the federal government. “The quantity of high grade mineral fucls in the West 1s relatively much smaller than that of the forests and the proper conservation of these fuels is a matter of far-reaching importance. “This government should not now repeat the mistakes of the past. Let us not do what the next generation cannot undo. “We have a right to the proper use of both the forest and the fuel during our lifetime, but we should not dispose of the birthright of our children. If this government sells its remaining fuel jands, they pass out of its future control, and a future congress will be at liberty to decide whether {t will con- tinue cr change this policy. “Let me also again urge that legisla- tion be passed to provide for govern- ment control of the public pasture lands of the West on the same general principles which now apply in the gov- ernment control of the forest reserves. ‘The local control of the range should be in the hands of Western men fa- millar with stock raising, and there should be full local participation in the management of the range. There 1s no need that the government should get a revenue from grazing on the pub- lic range, but only enough to pay for administration and tmprovement and ee tage aS ane eke Gf Interest to Women.

According to a Galveston dispatch the Gulf coast oil fields have decreased their production forty-five per cent. and the cause is attributed to seismic disturbances associated with Jamaica earthquakes. The Texas-Louisiana fields have been on a steady decline for the past ten months, as shown by the decrease of 18,000,000 barrels for the year just ended, compared with 1905. The sudden decrease was noticed the second day after the Jamaica quake, and seventeen wells in the Texas-Louisiana field went dry entirely, while every well declined perceptibly. After the Valparaiso earthquake the Texas-Louisiana field declined and many wells ceased to flow, while an immense oil lake appeared out of the gulf. The older north Texas oil fields have increased 100 per cent. in the same period since the Jamaica shocks and the product is fifty per cent. lighter in color. Do Reformatories Pay?

BY STEAMSHIP COLLISION Some Escape in Small Boats, But Many of Them Are Frozen to Death —Forty-eight Bodies Drifted Ashore Block Island, R. I.—About 150 persons went to their death in Block Island sound Monday night as a result of a collision of the three-masted schooner Harry Knowlton and the Joy line steamer Larchrunt, bound from Providence to New York. It is estimated that, including the crew, there were nearly 200 persons on board the steamer when she sailed from Providence. Of these, only nineteen appear to have survived the disaster, ten members of the crew and nine passengers. Forty-eight bodies have been recovered. Awakened from their slumbers in their staterooms, the unfortunate passengers were at the mercy of the fates. Many, it is believed, went down with the ship. Others, temporarily thankful that they had escaped drowning, prayed that they might be relieved of the terrible pain caused by their frozen bodies, and one unknown passenger plunged a knife into his throat and ended his sufferings. The few who survived were in pitiful condition. In almost every case their arms and legs hung helplessly as they were lifted out of the boats in which they reached shore. During the day forty-eight bodies came ashore, either in boats or thrown up by the sea. Only six of the forty-eight bodies were identified. Both captains were saved, and each declares the other is responsible for the fatal collision. The Larchmont left her dock in Providence last night with a heavy cargo of freight and a passenger list estimated from 150 to 200. Captain George McVey was preparing to retire after a turn around his ship, when he was startled by several blasts of the steamer's whistle. He rushed into the pilot house, where the pilot and quartermaster pointed out a three-masted schooner sailing eastward before a strong wind. The schooner, which proved to be the Harry Knowlton, coal laden from South Amboy for Boston, had been bowling along on her course, when she seemed suddenly to luff up and head straight for the steamer. Again several blasts were sounded on the steamer's whistle, the pilot and the quartermaster at the same time whirling their wheel hard aport in a mad endeaver to avert a collision. Before another warning could be sounded, the schooner crashed into the port side of the Larchmont, and the impact of the big vessel was so terrific that the big, clumsy bow of the sailing craft forced its way more than half the breadth of the Larchmont. When the force of the impact had been spent the schooner temporarily remained fast in the steamer's side, holding in check for a moment the inrushing waters. The pounding sea soon separated the vessels, however, and the water rushed into the gaping hole in the steamer with tremendous velocity. Captain McVey ordered all lifeboats and rafts cut away, and before stepping into his own boat he stood on the upper deck a moment to see that his order was executed. Then he ordered that his own boat, the largest on board, be cleared away. Before the men had an opportunity to loosen the tackles, the bottom of the boat rested on top of the surging sea which was raging over the hurricane deck, and for a moment it seemed as though the lifeboat would be dragged down before she could be freed from the doomed steamer. Every hand in the boat was too cold to handle a knife and cut the ropes, which, however, slipped through the tackles and set the boat adrift just as the vessel became submerged. The passengers' discomfort was increased greatly the moment they had launched their boats. Every wave sent its dash of spray over them. Soon a thin coating of ice enveloped everyone. Those who were fully clothed suffered from frozen faces and numbed feet, but there were many who had on only their night clothing. One man in the captain's boat was driven insane by the intense suffering. He pulled a big clasp knife from his pocket and gashed his throat. Those who sat near him were too dazed to interfere. The unknown man's body fell to the bottom of the boat, where it remained unheeded. Fisher's Point, the nearest land, was not quite five miles to the westward of the point where the steamer went down and every boat immediately headed for that place. But the boats were heavy and the men at the oars were weak. The boats and rafts soon became separated, and the only details of the disaster which could be learned here were given when Captain McVey's boat came ashore. Not a man on board was able to walk. Their feet were frozen so badly that the life savers carried the survivors bodily to the life-saving station. Captain McVey, shortly after his arrival, said he had on, board his ship between 150 and 200 passengers and a crew of fifty. Later he said there were between fifty and seventy-five passengers on board the steamer when the vessel went down. The latter figure, however, is far below the estimate made by the officials of the Joy Line at Providence, who estimate the number of passengers at no less than 150. Alcohol for Automobiles. New York.—In the first competitive test for motor fuels ever held in this country, denatured alcohol has been found more efficient than either gasoline or kerosene, but much more expensive.

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE. Boston Business Man Wanted to Take Time to Catch Up. Several years ago, when the University of Chicago held its decennial celebration, John D. Rockefeller was its guest for several days. A bewildering succession of functions followed one another in such quick succession that each affair was from one to four hours late. At the great banquet on the closing day, Mr. Rockefeller, in his after-dinner speech, told the following story: "I have felt for the past 24 hours like the Boston business man who lived in the suburbs and came in to his office every day. One winter afternoon he took the train for his home, but a terrific snowstorm was raging, and about half way to his suburb the train was snowed in. All night the passengers were imprisoned, but early in the morning they managed to reach a near-by telegraph station, and the Boston man sent the following dispatch to his office: "Will not be in the office to-day. Have not got home yesterday yet."—Montreal Herald. NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures, and Doctors Fail—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patent remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippecance, Ind., Nov. 15, "05" Saved by a Song. A boy was amusing himself by watching the birds that were flying around him. At length a beautiful bobolink perched on a rough bough of an apple tree near by. The boy picked up a stone, and got ready to throw it at the bird. The bird's throat swelled, and forth came the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, boboling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-no-sweet, I know it, I know it, a-link, a-link; don't throw it, throw it, throw it." And the boy did not throw the stone, but dropped it on the ground. "Why didn't you stone him, my boy? You might have killed him and carried him home." The little fellow looked up and replied, "Couldn't 'cos he sang so.'"—Puck. Henry Clay and Lew Wallace. "Mr. Clay was of a personality once seen never to be forgotten. Tall, slender, graceful, he had besides the air majestic which kings affect, imagining it exclusive property. "Throughout Mr. Clay's performance my eyes scarcely left his countenance, which, as he proceeded, sank from sight until, by the familiar optical illusions, nothing of it remained but the mouth, and that kept enlarging and widening until it seemed an elastic link holding the ears together. Indeed, at this late writing, my one distinct recollection of the man and his speech is the mouth and its capacity for infinite distension."—Autobiography of Lew Wallace. GUIDES CHILDREN. Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable. An Ils. mother writes about feeding children: "If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more for their little ones, there would be less need for medicines and fewer doctor bills. "If those suffering from indigestion and stomach troubles would live on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a short period they would experience more than they otherwise would believe. "Our children have all learned to know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an appetizing, strengthening food. It is every evening, with few variations, like this: 'Mamma, let's have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have eggs and Grape-Nuts'—never forgetting the latter. "One of our boys in school and 15 years of age repeatedly tells me his mind is so much brighter after having Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his breakfast."

And how could you expect a German to get at the real meaning of the metaphors in the following sentence—"Being unhorsed he dogged his man and soon had him cowed?" THREE EPOC A W MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There are three critical stages in a woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these important crises. Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more successfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, Ill. writes! Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I feel it my duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth.

Colorado. 2317-19 Larimer Stree Denver, Colorodo 621 Eighteenth St. Modes of the Moment To those who have caught a foregleam of the fashions of the coming season it is apparent that the keynote is to be simplicity. The very great simplicity which has for some time been the characteristic note of the tailor suit is gradually invading all descriptions of outdoor toilettes except those specially designed for visiting, weddings and fashionable gatherings. Afternoon walking dresses are trimmed to a very moderate extent. Fabric trimmings and silk soutache, both self-colored, are more favored than any other sort of garniture. The dress is generally of princess cut, the skirt rather long, or merely touching the ground, and frequently a three-quarter-length semi-loose coat of the same material serves to complete the attire. But in the evening it is totally different. Never have toilettes been so handsomely trimmed, or of higher grade of material. To go back no further than last winter, dresses were most voluminously and even overtrimmed. This is no longer the case, but the type of adornment is richer and more artistic. The ready-made dress and costume in silk, voile chiffon and washable materials is giving strong indications of becoming popular. The use of the novelty striped fabrics is most pronounced, and from present appearances the success of stripes is assured. Combinations of silk and cloth are noted, and these bid fair to be a strong factor this coming season. Many beautiful costumes are seen in the new striped chiffons. The black and white brown and white, and navy blue and white are in about equal favor. These printed chiffons are also seen in border designs, the Pompadour, as well as the Persian patterns, being used in some of the most attractive models. The most striking novelty in the costumes is the introduction of what is known as the Japanese robe effect. This is a distinct Paris novelty, which has been brought into some promi- are very good, be of history, when an horrid, and a mous demand for in a cheap and in being placed on a prodigality than When you do it lily Empire fashion lets at the top, an indispensable you be sure the own hair, and a quality, and abe they do not reveal adjustment with Let us "spect" Parting the hair specially attract An Attractive Coiffure. nence through the high-class dress-making trade. The manufacturer of ready-made costumes finds it a new feature to introduce into his lines Many of the Paris models now on exhibition for the first time are showing this peculiar shoulder and sleeve effect. An interesting model from Drecoll, brought into this country within the month, is in this new effect. This model is a suit, with short jacket and very full, circular-cut skirt. The jacket is a very short Eton effect, with the body of the jacket and sleeve cut in one, which gives the very long and drooping shoulder. The sleeves are very short and fall in straight, full caps over an under-sleeve of taffeta. The skirt accompanying this is a very full circular-gored effect, quite in contrast with the domestic plaited styles. It is also very long, as are most of the French models, regardless of the time and occasion for which they are to be worn. --- Although the season for light types of hats is still somewhat ahead, very pretty toques are composed of mousselline and crepe, especially of those delicate shades of suede and wood now so fashionable. They are of Empire or turban shape and rather large and quite low. Their sole trimming is a huge rose, either pink or yellow, these being, as in the case of gray, the two best contrasting colors. There is sometimes a self-colored ostrich plume as well, sweeping around one side of the toque and coiling or reposing on the opposite shoulder. Of such extreme length are these feathers in some cases that after falling over the side of the head they partially encircle and form a protection to the throat. No limitations of fashion can ever restrict the manner of my lady's coiffure. No two women seem impressed by the desire to dress their hair in the same form. Personal inclinations determine the style largely and decorations for the hair include every kind of fruit and flower, spangles, jewels, even to the diamond, and the always delightfully simple ribbon bow. No matter how fine a head of hair nature may have accorded, false curls are eagerly desired, and placed in positions more or less elegant on the crown of the head or the nape of the neck. When the curls are good they 1 are very good, but, like the litte child of history, when they are bad they are horrid, and naturally the enormous demand for them has resulted in a cheap and inferior quality of curl being placed on the market with more prodigality than discretion. When you do your hair in the strictly Empire fashion, a bunch of ringlets at the top, tied with ribbon, is an indispensable adjunct, but I pray you be sure the ringlets match your own hair, and that they be of fine quality, and above all things, that they do not reveal the method of their adjustment with too great frankness. Let us "spect they growed." Parting the hair in the center is specially attractive to the mere masculine, but should not be attempted unless nature has been generous, for a thin parting is not a sweet sorrow, but a sad sight. Better far the false fringe when well applied. I am always tempted to wish women would not color their hair, since I find, in this instance, at least, that nature knows best, and the wrinkles of time, or even the lines of middle age are less clearly marked under the influence of dull locks than bright ones, but this I know to be a gospel which there is no use in preaching, and the fancy for red or gold hair obtains perennially in the breast of lovely, if unreasonable, woman. In England much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities in a new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while it is equally secure from mold. Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of flour in the ordinary state. Familiar. In a city kindergarten one morning the children were asked to choose the next song. One little boy said: "Please sing 'Jimmy McNichol.'" "You don't understand," said the kindergartener, "you are to choose a song." He repeated "Jimmy McNichol," and with the aid of the children it was discovered he meant "Jolly St. Nicholas."

Work Can Be Done Easily and Satisfactorily at Home. Get a pint of linseed oil, a pint of parrafin oil, half a pound of finely powdered rotten stone and a pint of turpentine. These materials will last you a year or more for your table or other furniture which requires special polishing. Have a couple of pieces of an old felt hat, some pieces of cheesecloth and a large piece of well worn soft linen; or, instead of the linen, a piece of chamois. Pour linseed oil on the marred places, then sprinkle with the powdered rotten stone; rub with the piece of felt. Let the movement be light, quick and circular; be careful not to use pressure enough to cut the varnish; rub until the surface of the wood becomes hot. Be careful not to let the rotten stone become dry, as it then would scratch the finish; add oil from time to time, and if needs be rotten stone. When the table is sufficiently polished wipe clean with an equal mixture of turpentine and paraffin oil; rub the table well with this, and let it stand for several hours; then polish with chamois or old linen. In polishing furniture you can use a great deal of pressure. MANY USES FOR TURPENTINE. Is Real Friend to Housekeeper in Variety of Ways. There are few housekeepers that are not familiar with some of the numerous uses of turpentine, and as the advantage over many remedies whose odors are offensive. Turpentine and soap will remove ink stains from linen. A few drops added to water in which clothes are boiled will whiten them. It will exterminate roaches if sprinkled in their haunts. Moths will leave if it is sprinkled about. Turpentine will remove wheel grease, pitch and tar stains. A few drops on a woolen cloth will clean tan shoes nicely. Clean gilt frames with a sponge moistened in turpentine. Ivory knife handles that have become yellow can be restored to their former whiteness by rubbing with turpentine. Carpets can be cleaned and colors restored by going over occasionally with a broom dipped in warm water in which a little turpentine is added. An equal mixture of turpentine and linseed oil will remove white marks from furniture caused by water. Moisten stove blacking with water and it will not burn off. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Clean paint smoked by kerosene lamps with kerosene and rub it off with a fresh cloth. A few drops of alcohol rubbed on the inside of lamp chimneys will remove all trace of greasy smoke. In cleaning papier mache articles, use a sponge moistened with cold water. They may be polished with flour and a flannel cloth. Lime-water will sweeten jars and jugs which soap and water fail to cleanse. It is admirable for cleansing milk vessels and nursing bottles. Half a lemon dipped in salt and rubbed on discolored ivory knife handles will restore them to their original whiteness. After doing this wash the knives once in hot water. The fishy taste in wild game, if objected to, can be removed by putting a small onion, cut finely, into the carcass directly it is cleaned. Remove this before cooking and burn it at once, for it will smell very intensively. Light Spice Cake. Cream half a cup of butter and beat the yolks of four eggs very light, then gradually beat one cup of sugar into each, and finally beat the two together. Pass through sieve, together, three cups of flour, half a teaspoonful of soda, one-fourth a teaspoonful of salt, and one and three-quarters spoonfuls of cream of tartar. Add these to the butter mixture alternately with one cup of milk, and finally beat in the whites of four eggs, beaten dry. Bake in two loaf pans about 50 minutes. Sauce for Cold Meats Serve left-over cold roasts with a curry sauce. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add a minced onion, six or seven peppercorns, a bit of mace and half a bay leaf and cook until the onion is tender. Then stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour, a tablespoonful of curry powder, two teaspoonfuls of vinegar and a little salt, a cup and a half of boiling water and a tablespoonful of beef juice. Cook slowly five minutes, stirring constantly. Dainty Trimming of Remnants. There is a mixture to be found among trimmings which can be imitated by the needlewoman who picks up remnants. Embroidered lawn is edged with imitation Irish crochet lace or valenciennes. Broiderie Angliise will edge a strip of ecru embroidered muslin galloon. This is effective, especially on muslin gowns. Pearl buttons are a favorite addition to the trimming of these light gowns. Small Beer. For this use a gallon of water, a handful of hops, a pint of bran, a half pint of molasses, a cup of yeast and one spoonful of ginger. Proceed as with root beer.
