MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CONSTITUTION Quoted by Mrs. John J. Lentz, of Columbus, Ohio, in Black Man's Behalf. Mental Slavery Exists, She Says, Debarring Him from Equality with Whites. VOL. XIII. CONSTITUTE Quoted by Mrs. John J. Lentz Man's Behalf. Mental S Debarring Him from I Mrs. Lentz, who has made a special study of social subjects, in an interview with the Ohio State Journal Saturday, February 9, discussed in an interesting manner the question, "What shall we do with the educated Negro?" She first quoted the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution which follows, respectively: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any laws which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." Mrs. Lentz then continued: "Do the people of the United States intend to repudiate these two great amendments to the constitution, which the immortal Lincoln wrote with his life blood, and for the support and enforcement of which thousands of the country's bravest and noblest patriots marched proudly to the greatest victory for human rights that the world has known? "Lonely hearthstones, vacant chairs, grieving widows, sad-eyed orphans and countless gravestones tell the mournful tale of the ravages made on human hearts by the relentless and resistless conflict waged in support of the almighty boon of freedom for all men, which these amendments proclaim. The old veteran, proudly wearing his coat of faded blue, with kindling eye and with sudden erectness of his drooping shoulders, greets his comrades around the campfire and recounts again the dreadful days of Bull Run and Gettysburg, of Vicksburg and Appomattox. "Is the struggle for the supremacy of this national ideal, which these two amendments symbolized, to become a memory only? Was all the sacrifice in vain? It certainly was, unless the freedom, bought at such a price, be maintained and perpetrated by the children of the men who so heroically laid down their lives to accomplish it, and by its accomplishment brought freedom to nearly 4,000,000 human beings who had borne the chains of slavery. Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATROC COLORA TUTION of Columbus, Ohio, in Black lavery Exists, She Says, Equality with Whites. "What is freedom? How far does the meaning of these two amendments extend? Was freedom satisfied when the manacles fell from the wrists of the black man, and he, a child in mentality and experience, was set adrift in a world whose ways were mysteries to him? No, these black men were considered wards of the nation. The ballot was placed in their hands in order that they might have full share in electing all the men who should make the laws under which they must live. Their children were admitted to the public schools, there to receive instruction side by side with the child of the white man—in all things to share the white child's opportunity and to develop, equally with him character and manhood which should fit them for wise and useful citizenship. And thus it has come to pass that hundreds of the offspring of the slaves, that were freed by the martyrdom of Abraham Lincoln and by the blood of American patriots, come forth from our schools and colleges, with hopes as high, with ambitions as boundless and with abilities as great as those of the offspring of the white man, who have been their fellow students and companions during the years in which they have striven side by side to reach the same goal, namely, wisdom enough to fit them to engage in the solution of some of the world's great problems. "And when the victory is won and the prize so long coveted is theirs, and the vista of the whole untried world lies before them, what then? Shall the student with the black face find the door of further endeavor and reward closed to him, while it opens wide to his white companion, who is no better fitted to take advantage of its opportunities than he is? Shall a narrow and prejudiced world deny further progress to one and urge forward the other? "How shall we measure the ability of men who are fit to fill places of public trust? By their wisdom, honesty and qualification, or by the color of the skin which covers their faces? If a blackface is to be a disbarment from holding public office or private trust, then it were better that the man with the black face had been left in slavery. It were better that Abraham Lincoln had not lived and died, that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had not been The image provided does not contain any text. It appears to be a blank or empty space. written, and that American manhood had not sacrificed itself on the altar of spurious freedom. "Were the shackles stricken from the wrist of the black man in order that they might be placed on his ambition? Is it logical, is it just, is it common sense to educate a man and fit him for places of power and trust, and then say to him, 'Thus far and no further shall you advance; turn backward, descend the ascending path which you have climbed with so much effort; the Star of Hope shines no longer for you; travel backward until you have reached the low level from whence you came; remain there, thanking God every hour that you are no longer subject to a master; stifle your ambition, curb your aspirations, for you were created with a black face; and because of this black face you are doomed, irretrievably to behold the great things of life from afar off; it is true you may have earned some of these great things, but you were born with a black face." "Were it not better to serve one master, to be his property, knowing neither hope nor aspiration, than to be accounted free and feel the soul grow and expand and urge on to high place, and then have the great and cruel master, public prejudice, close the door just as the promised land of victory rises into view? "Many a Negro has been encouraged to climb the mountain of education, allowed to look over into the promised land of future possibilities, and then doomed to spend the remainder of his life in the valley of despair. "Fie upon such inconsistency! Let us once again return to the old truth of the survival of the fittest, whether the fittest have a skin that is black, brown, red, white or yellow. Why is a white skin better than a black one? Let us 'count a man a man for a' that." “Read again the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and then ask yourself, whether this amendment is prophecy or hypocrisy? “Are we as a nation to be hypocrites, or are these words like those of the Declaration of Independence, merely prophetic and suggestive of generations yet to come, who will be sincere enough to practice, as well as preach, liberty and equality?” GOOD PLUM FOR NEGRO New York, Feb. 18.—Alexander C. King, a Negro who has been in the postal service for the last 14 years, has been appointed assistant superintendent of the Wall street branch postoffice and this morning began his duties. While none of the clerks would talk on the subject today, there was evident a feeling of resent- ment that their work should be supervised by a Negro. King's position is an important one, the station being the largest in the city outside of the general postoffice. Charles H. C. Hecht, superintendent of the Wall street branch, said to-day that he did not anticipate any trouble over King's appointment. RACE NEWS Gathered from Vartous Sources. The Canadian Hotel at Los Angeles, Calif., of which B. R. Randolph is proprietor, is said to be one of the largest and best equipped in the country conducted by Negroes. It is the mecca of the Pacific const. Richmond, Va., Feb. 15.—There was a harrowing scene at the hanging at Farmville today of Moses Hill and William Ruffin, convicted of the murder of Postmaster John Grubb. Hill weighed 225 pounds. The rope broke. Hill walked cslmly back to the scaffold when it broke a second time and he died in agony upon the ground. A. Berlin correspondent in the New York World says: "The Berlin cafes are drawing the color line. A few nights a Negro was hustled out of one of the leading cafes for making eyes at a barmaid, following which a notice was posted on the door reading, Negroes not admitted. Next morning two other well known cafes followed this example, and it is expected that the boycott will extend to the whole of Berlin." Tuskegee, Ala., Eeb. 20.—The sixteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro conference began here today at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. President Booker T. Washington presided and hundreds of farmers with their wives and families crowded the spacious auditorium of the school. In his opening address Principal Washington reviewed the advance made by the Negro race within the past year, as well as since the advent of freedom. He advised the members of the race to push onward in the path of industrial progress, to live decent and clean lives, to avoid racial friction and by industry, frugality and honest living to command their own self-respect and to earn and keep the respect of their white neighbors. Reviewing the work of the race since the Civil war he said the Negro in the United States has acquired landed property equal to the combined areas of Belgium and Holland. (Continued to 4th page) Busin'ss Chances Are Plentiful for Thrifty Colored Men and Boys. Many Places Idle for Lack of Push Among the Negroes. Last week our articles dealt with the paying occupations opened to girls and women of our race. Our object was to show the many avenues open to independent and wide awake women who have eyes to see the main chance not in some distant future but here and now right in Denver and vicinity. Today we speak to the men and boys of our race who walk about in idleness complaining that nobody has hired us. The more the Colorado Statesman looks at the opportunities and situations the more we feel the pity and shame for the shiftless, laziness, blindness and backwardness of Denver's colored population. This city is as good a place as any on earth, not only to get a start but to make a living, a competence and wealth if we could only get men with eyes to see, sense to follow and tenacity to bring things to pass. The first thing we shall enumerate is the opening in the laundry business. This work is made imperative also in the South where the laundries will not wash colored peoples linens. We are glad to see two of our colored citizens enter this business already but there is room for a half dozen good laundries in Denver as there are many transients here that must depend upon the laundries for service. Almost every large city in the United States has several good steam and hand laundries run by experienced colored proprietors and colored help. Second, the grocery business awaits a hustler, one who can tackle it with vim, grit and bring success out of past defeat. The colored carriage driver is a thing of the past in Denver. Also a good large storage barn would pay handsome profits. Third, the junk business does not require much capital or experience and any man with an ounce of gumption and push could get behind it and make it go. A good second hand business could easily be built up in connection with it and made profitable to men who have the element of barter in their bones. The soap business is well understood by many colored men and could be pushed to success with brains, brawn and a little capital. Fourth, garbage and ash hawling, fertilizing and lawn making all affords openings to qualified men without regard to color. Ranching on a small scale and NO. 22. truck gardening will swell many a pocket book that is flat and empty now besides affording a health giving occupation out in the open while most of our men are caged up now in the cities. The poultry and egg business is a gold mine when well handled and scientifically conducted. It is not a difficult business to conduct and is remunerative to any one who would take good care of it. The sugar beet culture in Colorado is now a fixed source of revenue. If we could get these boys out of the pool rooms, clubs, crap tables and barber shops out on the beet fields just ten, twenty and thirty miles from Denver, we could save their health, their characters and their lives. The coal and feed business is open to men of enterprise and push and could be turned into good effect by right parties. Besides these and many more we could name the Negro could be relieved from dining car waiters, Pullman porters, butlers and coachmen and put into positions that would mean a great deal more for them in the end. It will be seen in naming this list of occupations we have avoided such business that is already in the hands of considerable of our people. Only by launching forth can we hope to win and by faithfulness, perseverance and stick-at-iveness can we succeed. The Japanese, Chinese will soon be crowding the Negro as porters, waiters, butlers and domestic service. They are more painstaking, punctual and saving. They do not have picnics, balls and excursions like the Negro, but attend to their work. Now is the time for the Negro to launch out, endure deprivations, segregation and hardships and before you know it you will find the country growing up around you. If we would only get rid of our follies of fine cloths, social positions, lodges and tendencies of modern high life and get down to horny handed business and duty, we would not be raising up the crop of dudes, sports, tinnhorn gamblers and weaklings, that now seems to be multiplying in our race. The real race lovers and race preservers will see the distinctions we are pointing out and cooperate with us in our endeavor to save not the individuals alone but also the masses. It is the masses not the classes that is doing us the real harm. I. 7 Os a, 7}, ae eh Wee ri, 7 B ¥ Be ae 2 ks Li a a . ' BA “aie. es Saar foar ss ad as | : ve ; z eae 3 GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The ‘writings and orations that would put ‘us beyond criticism explode against ‘some very hard facts and let out upon ithe air a great deal of silliness. Our [politics are not so absolutely pure that ‘a seraph’s wing could graze them ‘without contamination. Our ideals of greatness and glory are closer to the iground than they ought to be. Our reverence for the sacredness of law that should be as firmly fixed, In ‘our national conscience as Pike's Peak 4s firmly fixed in the soil of Colorado, ds not beyond the cavil and complaint of those who study the foundations of our institutions. But of one thing we are persuaded, and that is that the virtues of our country over-balance its faults, There are more angels than devils among us. The devils are making the most moise, but the angels are doing the most work. The man who believes that righteousness is losing its grip upon this nation is a woefully mis- taken man. I heard a speaker the other day who proclaimed that we are falling from bad to worse and from ‘worse to worst. We do not believe him. We believe that we are rising from good to better, and from better to best. One of the chief roots of our patriot- ism is gratitude, the realization of an immense debt to those who battled about the cradle of our national ex- istence and won our freedom and in- dependence at the points of thelr swords. Here we are because the men of '76 fput us here. Here we stay because the spirit of “76 has kept us here. Stormy Atlantic, mild Pacific, sleep- ing lakes, waving forests, tree-crowd- ed mountains, gold mine and silver mine, storms out of whose tempest- driven hearts have fluttered the white- feathered birds of peace, flery bap- tisms through whose flames have crept forth the evangels, gave ever- lasting covenant. When we think of these things, when we stand upon the mount of vision, and the splendor of our country breaks upon our eyes, when the song of the reapers comes up to us, when we hear the hum of industry thrilling along the ground, when we see the gleaming rivers curving and winding like silver threads through vast gardens, what account of ourselves shall we give to ourselves if we take not the cup of praise and thanksgiving in our hands and pour it out to the heroes whose patience, faith and courage ushered in the dawn of our splendid prosper- ity? ‘They were fighting for the future, for the country that was coming. So are we fighting for the future—for the country that is coming. As we look into the faces of our little children we cannot feel that for us the battle 1s ended. We have won a country for ourselyes, But we must win a country for them. And love of country and love of ebildren run together with tae ambi- tion to win a better country for them. Home and patriotism are linked to- gether. ‘The children will help to make the nation. But the nation will help to make those children. That little dimpled cheek will not allow you to take off your uniform for a single day, You must build his home. You must fight for his inheritance. You must put your life into the moving and marching forces of righteousness that are trying to win victories for him. ‘The next generation will live in the country which this generation is mak- ing for it. And each one of us is help- ing to make it. All of us are nation. builders. Every time we cast a bal- lot for an unclean office-seeker we are committing an outrage upon the fu ture. Patriotism can never be selfish. It ean never be bound up and roped round in its own pleasures and com. forts. It can never stand still, looking backwards. It can never content itself with making a noise. In Washington's farewell address we see the prayers of a great soul embracing a nation’s posterity. ‘Yhe pen that wrote the emancipation proclamation was tracing on the paper & heart's desire for a long procession of centuries, And out of this love of country and this guardianship of our children will come the patriotism of service, The Roman soldier cried out “tt 4s beautiful to die for one’s country.” Our country does not want anybody to die for it now, but It does want all the multitudes of its people to live for it, to do their big best or their little best to serve its highest and noblest in- tents, and pass it along to the future cleansed, purified, sweet to the heart and sound to the core. WASHINGTON, Soldier and statesman, rarest unison; High-polsed example of great duties done Simply as breathing, a world’s honors worn As life's indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by his awe in hollow-eyéd con- tent; Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; un- blamed Save by the men his nobler temper shamed; Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad-minded, higher-souled, there is but one Who was all this, and ours, and all men's,—Washington. —James Russell Lowell, SApahiinén nial Adanih Whether Washington can be put into the envied category of million. aires no one can assert positively. According to the late Paul Leicester Ford whose work, “The True George Washington,” has received wide recognition, “the father of his coun. try” was worth $530,000. This fortune did not include his wife's property, but nevertheless {t made him one of the wealthiest Americans of his time.

TRIAL, Interrupting the Testimony, Crazy Stranger Declares Himself Guilty. Wallace, Idaho—The afternoon fea- ture in the Adams’ murder trial Wed- nesday was the evidence of Detective James McParland of Denyer, MePar- land testified that he had been man- ager of Pinkerton’s for the last twelve years and had been connected with it for the last forty years. He never had been employed specially against the Western Federation of Miners, but in- stances had arisen where he had found them to commit crimes, He denied that he had agreed with Governor Gooding and Warden Whit- ney to subject Adams to five or six ways’ solitary confinement and that at the end of that time he would be ready “to cough it all up.” He denied that he administered what is known as the “third degree” to Adams. He denied that he had made any arrangements by which Adams and Orchard should be locked up to- gether and that he called from time to time to see what progress Orchard was making toward getting Adams to corroborate the confession. He admitted that he went to see Adams February 26th with a view to getting him to confess, took him into the inner room of the warden’s office, gave him a cigar and told him that he was his friend. ‘The witness admitted that a nice Juncheon had been served to both and that in the afternoon he had got “the patient mellow and ripe” and had made him believe that it would be bet- ter to tell him all. He denied that threats had been used or inducements held out to Adams. ‘The examination was conducted in a theatrical manner by B. F. Richardson, and the court house was crowded to the doors. C8. Thiel confirmed testimony of McParland with regard to times, places and dates. Thiel told that shortly efter Adams’ arrest he told him that ull he had to do was to go to Bolse and do what the fellows want and “you will be all right.” During the taking of the testimony the jury were taken out of court until the relevancy of the confession ean be established. ‘The morning’s session of the court was taken up mainly with reading the testimony given by Coro- ner Keys at the preliminary hearing, the attorneys having agreed to this method owing to the coroner's illness. His testimony relates largely to the condition of the body of ‘Tyler and the surroundings where it was found in the woods. “It is the heart that moves the hand. Iam the man that killed Fred Tyler. Turn all these other fellows loose, for Tam the man that done the deed.” ‘This was the announcement which startled Judge Woods’ court Wednes- day morning. A small, dark stranger with Ions, black hair and a stubby beard was standing up beside Steve Adams, pro- claiming himself guilty of the cyne for which Adams is on trial. A commotion followed. Mrs. Adams burst into tears and Adams himself turned pale, Seized by two officers, the dark stranger was hurried from the court room to the sheriff's office. ‘There he said his name was Patrick ©. Ryan of Butte; that he had just finished a term in Deer Lodge penitentiary for stealing mutton and after being released had | gone to Butte, where Roosevelt’s daughter had told him to come to Wallace and take charge of this case, He said if Adams was convicted an earthquake would destroy the Coeur @’Alenes. Ryan will be committed to the asylum. Adams says he does not know the man. Pay of Postoffice Clerks Raised, Washington.—The postoffice appro- priation bill has passed the House and all the salaries of the postal employes that were ruled out on points of order haye been restored by the committee on rules and the House has adopted the same. By the terms of the amendments reported fromthe commit. tee on rules, séven grades of clerks are established in first and second-class of- fices, with salaries ranging from $600 to $1,200, City letter carriers are di- vided into five grades, with salaries ranging from $600 to $1,100, the $700 salaries being omitted. Railway mail clerks are divided into six grades be- low that of chief clerk, salaries in each grade being increased $100 and rang- ing from $800 to $1,700. The maximum salary of rural carriers is fixed at $840. Elks Starving in Wyoming. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Mrs, 8. N. Leek, wife of Representative Leek, arrived Wednesday from Jackson Hole, having been one of the first persons to get out of that district in three weeks, She reports that snow has fallen almost steadily for thirty-six days in Jackson Hole, and that great herds of elk, ap- proximating 25,000 head, driven from the mountains by tne unprecedented snow, are in a starving candition. ‘These elk have attacked ranch hay re- serves and the ranchmen of the dis- trict are busy fighting them away from the fodder, upon which depends the lives of the ‘domestic stock of the district. The number of elk to die from the effects of weather in the Hole this winter will be the greatest in the history of Wyoming. President Approves Playgrounds. Washington—President Roosevelt, in a letter addressed to Cuno H. Rane doiph, president of the Washington playgrounds Association, strongly commended the new interest in play and playgrounds throughout the coun- try. He advocated municipal provis- fon for playgrounds “for every child as mitch a8 schools,” these to be within easy walking distance of every boy and girl ara properly supervised. He urged the schools to procure proper grounds as early as possible, and he partieu: larly commended the plan of play- ground development in this city ae tending toward making the nation’s capital a model city. a The Inter-Ocean Investment and Brokerage Co.

Beginning with the American discoveries of John Cabot in 1497, the search for the northwest passage was for many years the object of rival expeditions from Denmark, England, France and Portugal, says A. W. Greely, in the Century. It was Frobisher, however, who in 1576-78 first gave a distinct national character to the quest. John Davis of Davis' strait, followed in three voyages, 1585-88, and then, in 1612, came the illustrious and hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto was that explorers should "achieve what they had undertaken or else give reasons wherefore it will not be." The search for the Atlantic side closed for two centuries with the voyage of a great seaman, William Baffin, who, in a tiny boat of 55 tons, with a miserable equipment, but an undaunted heart, attained, in 1616, the highest north in the western hemisphere, 77 degrees 45 minutes N., and discovered three radiating sounds, Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last being the eastern entrance to the long-sought passage. BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as "cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflammation at once. Perhaps this may be the means of helping other suffering babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomaston, Me., June 9 1906." The "Thunderer." Judge Rentoul's reference on the bench to the Times as the "Thunderer" reminds us how remarkably this nickname has persisted. The Morning Post is no longer "Jeames;" the Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp" since the decease of the Morning Herald—the "Mrs. Harris" to whom it would allude as an independent authority, and the two represented the same proprietor. But the Times is still the "Thunderer." It owes that name to Captain Edward Sterling, who is said to have begun a Times article with the words: "We thundered forth the other day an article on the subject of social and political reform."—London Chronicle. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.

Near Ashcroft, in British Columbia, are a number of small lakes, whose shores and bottoms are covered with a crust containing borax and soda in such quantities and proportions that when cut it serves as a washing compound. The crust is cut into blocks and handled in the same manner as ice, and it is estimated that one of the lakes contains 20,000 tons of this material.

SMOOT REMAINS MOVEMENT TO UNSEAT MORMON SENATOR FAILS. MAJORITY IS IN HIS FAVOR Including Those Paired Fifty-One Were In Favor of Smoot and Thirty-Seven Against—Congratulated by Republican Senators. Washington.—Senator Reed Smoot retains his seat in the United States Senate. This was decided Wednesday by a vote of forty-two to twenty-eight, ending a long contest. Eighteen senators were paired, making the actual standing on the resolution fifty-one for and thirty-seven against. Senator Smoot did not vote, and Senator Wetmore was absent and not paired. The Smoot resolution was called up soon after the Senate convened. Every seat in the galleries was filled, and during the actual voting the standing room on the floor of the Senate was crowded by members of the House and employees of the Senate. Seldom has there been a proceeding affecting the standing of a senator that has attracted such marked attention. In the audience were representatives of a number of prominent women's organizations which have been active in circulating and having presented petitions of remonstrance against Mr. Smoot. These women secured many thousands of signatures to their petitions. There have been numerous speeches made for and against Senator Smoot since the resolution to unseat him was reported from the committee on privileges and elections, just prior to the adjournment of Congress last year. Wednesday Senators Dubois, Hansbrough, Newlands, Bacon and Burrows, the latter chairman of the committee, spoke against Mr. Smoot, while Senators Beveridge, Dolliver and Foraker spoke for him. When the voting began Mr. Smoot retired to the Republican cloak room to await the result. Senator Hopkins offered his amendment to the committee resolution and it was adopted. Under this a two-thirds vote would have been necessary to carry the resolution, which declared that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his seat. Senator Carmack then offered as a substitute for the amended committee resolution a simple resolution declaring that Senator Smoot should be "expelled." The effect of this would be to displace the committee resolution if adopted, and it was defeated. Then came the vote on the committee resolution as amended, which was as follows: "Resolved, two-thirds of the senators present concurring therein, that Reed Smoot is not entitled to a seat as a senator of the United States from the state of Utah." Although it was a foregone conclusion that the resolution would fall and thus end the long fight against the Utah senator, the roll call contained some surprises. Of the 42 votes in favor of Mr. Smoot, three were cast by Democrats. They were Messrs. Blackburn, Clark (Mont.) and Daniel. Senator Teller was paired in favor of Mr. Smoot and Senator Patterson was paired against him. Of the 28 votes against Mr. Smoot, nine were Republicans. They were Messrs. Burrows, Clapp, Dupont, Hale, Hansbrough, Hemenway, Kittredge, LaFollette and Smith. At the conclusion of the voting there was a rush of Republican senators to the cloak room to congratulate Mr. Smoot. A large number of members of the House followed, and there the senior Utah senator was patted on the back and his hands were shaken in hearty fashion by men who expressed their admiration for his bearing in the long and trying ordeal through which he had passed. On the floor of the Senate and in the galleries it was many minutes before order could be restored. BOOMING CANON CITY Governor Buchtel One of the Speakers at Big Booster Banquet. Denver.—A Canon City dispatch Wednesday night says: The big Booster banquet given in this city tonight by the Canon City Merchants' Association was the most enthusiastic and successful affair of its kind ever given in this city. There were about twenty-five guests from out of town present, including Governor Buchtel and high officials of the Denver & Rio Grande, Santa Fe and Florence & Cripple Creek railways, the Colorado Telephone Company, Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and capitalists from Philadelphia and Canon City. A reception was given in honor of Governor Buchtel from 8 to 9 o'clock in the parlor of the Strathmore hotel, after which the guests, to the number of 150, assembled at the banquet table, where speeches and toasts occupied the time until after 2 o'clock in the morning. The orators boosted the great enterprises now being undertaken by this city, including the electric line to the top of the Royal Gorge, great irrigation schemes undertaken by the officials of the Florence & Cripple Creek railway, S. H. Atwater of this city, the mountain water supply for the city from Beaver creek, and the new Denver & Rio Grande depot, and other projects. Former Gov. James H. Peabody acted as toastmaster. The first speaker was Governor Buchtel, who was in high spirits, and made an eloquent address. He said that the boosting spirit is everywhere prevalent in Colorado, that this state is not only the playground of the nation, but is the best place to live in on the continent—the place where men can make the most and where all feel as nowhere the touch of comradeship with the low man, and where one can, like Mr. Declay, use the top of his voice with out disturbing the scenery DON'T DESPAIR.

Among the lucrative sources of revenue of the pope before the separation of church and state in France was the toll or tax on titles of nobility and decorations. Since the rupture the French government no longer recognizes the ennobling titles and decorations of the holy father. To have the right to wear the Vatican ribbon, or to be called count, it was necessary to obtain a confirmation of title. This gave much perplexity to the candidates. The question has just been settled. Queen Wilhelmina has consented to validate such titles and distinctions. The result has been an amusing, pilgrimage to The Hague—and also in an increase in the price of these pontifical favors. In the last few weeks the French Knights of the Golden Spur, of the Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory the Great, of Plus IX. have greatly increased. HOME-MADE CATARRH CURE. Sufferers Should Make This Up and Try It Anyway. Any one can mix right at home the best remedy of its kind known. The name "Cyclone" is given to the following prescription, it is supposed, because of its promptness in driving from the blood and system every vestige of catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and dread disease, no matter where located. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good pharmacy one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use in tea-spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. This is a harmless, inexpensive mixture, which has a peculiar action upon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all catarrhal poisons, which, if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or catarrh is the result. Prepare some and try it, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh specialist of national reputation. Fire Record for Last Year. The fact that when a servant becomes master a cruel foe is suddenly developed is attested by the dreadful havoc and loss of life occasioned by fire in the United States within the 12 months covered by a summing up of these losses for 1906. This record shows that nearly 7,000 lives were lost and more than $500,000,000 worth of property was destroyed by fire during that period. In no other country in the world is the fire loss, in bulk or pro rata, anywhere near our own. Last year, owing to the devastating fire that followed the earthquake in San Francisco, this loss was in great excess of the average, but the average for some years past has been $200,000,000 a year. The revelations regarding fraudulent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commissioner, have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products'did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked "Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so-called "White Leads" contain not an iota of genuine White Lead. The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their contents. That would enable every paint-buyer to buy intelligently. Tolme and Toide.

February 22nd is an established and fixed day in the United States and is held perpetually sacred to the memory of George Washington, "Father of his Country." The life, service, and character of Washington will forever live in imperishable memory in the hearts of a grateful posterity. George Washington lived and wrought in the formative period of the nation's life. He had to do with the laying of the foundations of the Republic and establishing the cornerstone of its greatness. How well he did his work is shown to-day by the nation's marvelous progress and development. His purity of life, unselfishness of purpose and nobleness of character has made his name loved and reverend in the affection and memory of his countrymen. Each recurring February 22nd, but deepens the veneration and increases the respect in the hearts of the people, so that his memory and greatness instead of decreasing, but grows and blossoms from year to year. The first President of the United States has set an illustrious example for all others who fill this exalted office to pattern by. It is no idle thought therefore when we repeat the haekneyed quotation, "First in war, first in peace and fist in the hearts of his countrymen." Mt. Vernon, his resting place, is sacred and receives the homage of the nation. TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE The annual gathering of the Tuskegee Conference held at Booker T. Washington's school is now looked upon as a fixed opportunity for good to the race as well as to the farmers in the immediate vicinity. This year proves no exception. The sixteenth convocation was held this week. Hundreds of farmers with their wives and children crowded the spacious auditorium. In his opening address Dr. Washington reviewed the advance made by the Negro during the past year as well as the progress made since freedom. His message to the race was sound and practical; he advised a steady march onward in the path of progress, to live clean and pure lives, to avoid racial friction and by industry, frugality and honest living, to command self respect and to earn and keep the respect of their white neighbors. One statement made by Dr. Washington commands notice. He said that the race since the Civil War has acquired in America landed property equal to the combined areas of Belgium and Holland. This is a remarkable showing for a people who entered the struggle forty years ago without even a warranty deed to six foot of earth wherein to lay their worn-out bodies. The statistics gathered by this conference to say nothing of the enthusiasm it transmits is worth the cost of their coming together. PRESIDENTIAL FEELERS The simmering pot for presidential food is beginnig to be heard in the land. It is not boiling time yet, the fires are just kindling, for the nominations are yet sixteen months off. But the wire fixers, boom makers, aspirants, caucuses and politicians are already at work, putting out feelers here and there. Mr. Bryan has been heard from again, and he is in a receptive mood. Woodrow Wilson of Princeton, is not opposed to the office, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi has a weather eye, Senator Daniels of Virginia, is a possibility, Ex-governor Francis of Missouri, and Folk (present governor) comprise the Democratic timber since Hearst disappeared below the New York horizon. On the Republican firing line there are plenty of ambitious gunners, many of them old-time sharp shooters and record makers. First comes Vice-President Fairbanks who is looked upon with favor from many quarters. Then Mr. Taft is one who is to be reckoned with, Senator Foraker is rallying the anti-administration forces around him with a view, presumably, of dictating the nominee if he does not take the prize himself. Following these, the "big three," Fairbanks, Taft and Foraker, are Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Speaker Cannon of Illinois, Secretary Root, with Governor Hughes of New York mentioned now and then. Of course in many parts President Roosevelt is still elung to for a third term, but withal this makes a big entry in the race, the grooming exercising and heats are causing much prophecy, speculation and interest. The Colorado Statesman is watching the paces carefully and will keep you well informed of the situation as time progresses. We are not playing any favorites, but want to see the majority in either party satisfied and the campaign fought out on its merits. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS In last week's topic under this head we spoke of the great publishing houses that have cancelled Negro patronage because of slackness on part of the colored trade to meet promptly business obligations. We now call attention to another line of business that is refusing colored business. Remember these articles are not printed to "knoek" the race, this paper is a "defender" of Race pride and honor. Our only and sole motive is to arouse the race to rise up and meet business demands, and to show itself ready and competent to do business in a business way. The last of the great white insurance companies to shut its doors to colored patronage is the New York Life Insurance Company. it is, as we have said before, not that we are dangerous risks or that we do not pay high enough premiums, but because of our delateriousness in making our payments when due. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has issued instructions to all its agents not to accept any more colored business after January 1, 1907. This company is known as "Industrial Insurance," collecting premiums at 10, 20 and 30 cents per week. In the past it has been customary for all of the Metropolitan companies to solicit Negro business, but one by one they are gradually cutting it out. There is hardly an old line company of standing that now solicits Negro business and most of them are refusing risks when made directly at the home office. The new York Life accepts Negro applicants, but does not solicit this business. There are only three policies on lives of Negroes on file at the general agent's office. The subject is considered of interest as tending to show the growing unreliability of the Negro in the matters of business. This paper is not preaching, it is simply publishing the facts and calls upon the race everywhere to look the issue square in the face and alter our ways before the condition becomes irreparable and hopeless. PLAYING HORSE. President Roosevelt is creating interest, amusement and in some measure, consternation by threatening to appoint a colored man to one of the most important offices in Ohio. This is not done to conciliate or reward the Negro, for colored people know him better since he indiscriminately discharged a whole battalion of colored troops for the alleged misconduct of a few, but his purpose is to slap, intimidate and humiliate Senator Foraker and brow-beat the anti-administration crowd in Ohio and tickle the chops of the South. This is unworthy of a great man like President Roosevelt. The Negro wants representation, but he wants it because he is properly deserving of it. but we question if any competent or worthy Negro would accept of office even under Republican administration, if it was not tendered in good faith and in recognition of honest, earnest and faithful service. The colored man to whom rumor allots this plum is Mr. Ralph Tyler of Columbus, Ohio, and the post that is said to await him is the surveyorship of customs at the port of Cincinnati. Mr. Tyler has heretofore been endorsed by Senators Foraker and Dick for consular service. It would be natural for the above Senators to hold up this appointment in the Senate and thus Mr. Tyler would be the football between the contending factions, while the Democrats, Republicans, the flesh and the devil, would look on with mirth and amusement at the comedy of spleen, spite and prejudice. No. Mr. President, you cannot incur favor with the Negro in that way. While we would be glad to see the 50,000 colored voters of Ohio rewarded in some tangible way we do not think this square or worthy of the high honor in which you are held by the people of the nation, as he knows, and everybody else knows, that it will only bring odium on Booker T. Washington, who recommends Mr. Tyler and whom Senator Foraker facetiously terms the "third Senator from Ohio." Such a course is meant to be another slap at the race and punch below the belt—for the friends of the race. President Roosevelt above all things, ought to play fair and take defeat like a man when it is fairly administered to him. FREDERICK DOUGLASS. The Peoples' Sunday Alliance has done two commendable things. It has established an annual Emancipation Day, the first Sunday in January each year, and secondly, fixed the third Sunday in February as Douglass Day. Last Sunday this day was fittingly celebrated. The program was excellent, the music fine and the speakers and singers at their best. The audience was large, appreciative, and well behaved. Everybody had a good word for the meeting and the Alliance established a reputation hard to excell. The Colorado Statesman now advises a step further. Douglass homestead in Anacostia consists of a mansion and fourteen acres of land situated on a hill overlooking the Potomac river and giving a birdseye view of Washington for many miles. It is the opinion of experts that when the government completes the new bridge and reclamation of flats that this property will be worth $5,000 an acre, its actual value now is $1,500 per acre. It is already exempt from taxes by an act of Congress and the property is given over to an incorporation known as The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. There is an incumbrance of fifty-four hundred dollars ($5,400), bearing six per cent. interest payable semi-annually against the Douglass property. When this mortgage is cleared the property will be in the sole possession of the race. In the course of time, nine acres of this property could be cut up into building lots and sold and with the proceeds of such sale, Cedar Hill, on which the Douglass house and library stands, could be endowed with ample funds to meet the needs of the association in perpetuity. Cedar Hill will then be to the Negro what Mount Vernon (the home of George Washington a few miles away) to the white race. Now let the Alliance be the first in Colorado to contribute $5.00 to the object and then let each member of the race give five, ten, twenty-five or fifty cents to this fund. Let us show our faith in Douglass by our works. Denver ought to give at least $100, and Colorado, including the Springs, Pueblo, etc., $100.00 more toward this worthy object. Money in any amount sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama, treasurer will be promptly acknowledged and receipted for. Now let the men and women who love Douglass show it by their works. The Colorado Statesman will start the subscription with one dollar, who will follow? RACE NEWS where for a match with Battling Nelson, or some other man handy with the gloves, he was turned down everywhere for a time, until he finally was booked to meet Battling Nelson, at Goldfield, Nev., on Labor day. The battle netted Gans a fortune, but now he has not a cent left of it. "I lost shooting craps and playing the races," he says. (Continued from first page.) Hyannis, Neb., Feb. 15. After they had danced with all the society belles of this city at a masquerade last night, two Negroes, Frank Shepard and Sam Minn, took off their disguise in a saloon and stood off the angry mob of fathers, brothers and sweethearts with razors. The ball was for citizens generally and attended by nearly everyone. It was easy for the Negroes to get in, masked and disguised. They are cooks at a hotel and stood well in the community until this escapade. All of to-day they have defied arrest, but the sentiment is strong that they must leave town at once. Today there was wholesale destruction of hitherto highly-prized souvenir programmes of the dance, for the Negroes did not overlook any of the prominent women. New York, Feb. 18.—Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court told the congregation in the Broadway tabernacle yesterday that in his opinion religion was the principle factor by which the Negroes of the South could be converted into a valuable assett of the nation. "We know that there is ignorance, criminality and immorality among the Negroes," he said, "and it remains with us to change present conditions so that the Negro will become a helpful factor in our civilization and progress. I believe that there is a divine providence which will so shape our history that the Negro will be a helpful factor. We must all assist in bringing about this end. Industrial development, cleanliness, education and other benevolent and useful things are good for the Negro, but I believe nothing will help him so much as the influence of the cross of Christ, and nothing will so move him to being a good and useful citizen as the gospel of the Prince of Peace." The Negroes of Arkansas paid into the state treasury last year for real and personal property tax $260, 000 besides $50,000 poll tax making a total of $310,000 paid in the state treasury by Negroes as taxes for the year 1906. According to the census bureau at Washington, D.C., the Negroes of Arkansas own $30,000,000 worth of property. This vast sum of money in property values does not represent his cash, bank and savings accounts. We fail to see in these figures the worthless, shiftless side of the Negro problem. Slowly, but surely the Negroes of Arkansas are solving their own problem with cash, bank accounts and property. If they can accomplish so much in 40 years who can tell in 40 more years what the harvest will be? God and God alone can answer this question. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 12.—Rev. James Poindexter, aged 87 years died at his home on North Fourth street to-night from pneumonia. Deceased has been identified with the cause of the Negro longer than any other man in America, not excepting Booker T. Washington, and was well known as a leader among his race. He was born in Richmond, Va., and came to this city in 1838. For years he was a barber and studied Shakespeare and the Bible during his leisure. For 55 years he was pastor of the Second Baptist church. Dr. Poindexter was a lifelong Republican and aside from being a member of the local Council and the School board, was often elected as a delegate to the State conventions, and went in that capacity to the National convention in Philadelphia in 1872, when Governor Dennison was a candidate for vice president. He counted many of the prominent men of the country as his friends. One of his pet institutions was Wilberforce University, of which he was a trustee for years. Two grand-children survive him. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 20.—Joe Gans is broke again. The lightweight champion who earned a king's mansion in his last two fights, enough money for an ordinary person to go through life on, has gambled away every dollar of his money and is now next door to penury. News of Gans spending his recent big earnings will come as a blow to the majority of fight fans. This time last year Joe was without a cent. Clamoring every- The Attitude of the Church Towards Divorce By PROF. SHAILER MATHEWS. LERGYMEN cannot marry divorced people and remain consistent with their faith in the teachings of Christ. The ideal of the family, as set forth by Jesus, permits of no divorce. The Master approached the actual existence of divorce through his conception of the family which was to him a divine institution, established by God in the beginning. His conception of the family was monogamous, and in this position He is supported by the drift of modern sociology. All students of sociology are agreed that a strictly monogamous family is the ideal toward which the civilized world tends. LERGYMEN cannot marry divorced people and remain consistent with their faith in the teachings of Christ. The ideal of the family, as set forth by Jesus, permits of no divorce. The Master approached the actual existence of divorce through his conception of the family which was to him a divine institution, established by God in the beginning. His conception of the family was monogamous, and in this position He is supported by the drift of modern sociology. All students of sociology are agreed that a strictly monogamous family is the ideal toward which the civilized world tends. In discussing this matter Jesus did not take the position of a social philosopher, but of a religious and moral teacher. If the Christian ideals of love and sacrifice, which He preached, were really operative in the home, divorce would never be thought of. The attitude of the church on this point should not be that of a legislator, passing prohibitive laws, but that of a religious force creating the Christian spirit and ideals in those individuals who are establishing families. "On its practical side, of course, divorce is something more than a question of ideal morality. It is an actual social problem. What should be the attitude of the church toward this problem, now that it is sanctioned by law? In the first place, the church, in order to be consistent, must say that divorced parties cannot expect a clergyman to marry them again. If they choose to violate the ideals of the church by seeking legal divorce, they ought to have a justice of the peace rather than a minister, establish whatever new marital relationships they choose to contract. In the second place, the church must do the best it can to create a public opinion that affects the laws regulating divorce so as to reduce rather than increase the practice. By so doing it will tend to make the ideals of Jesus operative in society. We cannot expect that the ideals of marriage and the family as set forth by Jesus will be realized among people who are indifferent to his teachings. The attitude of the church on this point should again not be that of the legislator, but of a religious and moral institution endeavoring on the one hand to check the social evil as far as it can possibly be checked, through insistence on moral ideals, and on the other, by endeavoring to make the individual Christlike. In the matter of marriage and divorce, then, as in other social questions, the function of the church is not merely to save men for heaven, but to save them for heaven by teaching them how to live on earth. Ability of the Married Teacher By KATE GANNETT WELLS. of Massachusetts Board of Education. Ability of the Married Teacher By KATE GANNETT WELLS. of Massachusetts Board of Education. The objections that are often raised against adoption of the profession of teaching by married women usually follow two lines of defense: (1) That married women have, or ought to have, enough to do at home; (2) that if married women teach there is less room in the profession for the unmarried Either statement is an indignity to marriage and to the profession, which calls for the best teacher irrespective of her surroundings. Who should teach is a matter of personal fitness, of requisition upon one's self for the work, and not of conditions surrounding one. And as for marriage, if it is not noble enough to allow a woman to follow the bent of her nature in regard to a profession as her ideal of marriage did in the choice of a husband, then the comradeship of marriage is little comprehended. A woman who is competent to be teacher as well as wife, need give no alarm lest the future of the race be imperiled. That conditions do arise when married women should not teach is no reason why when such conditions do not exist that they should not teach. It puts marriage on an unsatisfactory basis when it debars all married women at all times from working outside of the home. To say that marriage lessens the ability and effectiveness of a teacher is unproved as to say that marriage develops them. Certainly a girl teacher in love is more preoccupied than a married teacher! As a general rule, most women have neither time, inclination nor ability to be married and also to teach. But to bar out the exceptional women who can fulfill both vocations would deprive the schools of those who often can serve them best. In all the discussions upon this matter no one asks what is the effect upon the husbands when their wives teach—a very vital question, but perhaps not pertient when it is only the welfare of the schools that is concerned. It is so medieval to relegate women to what is called their home duties. It is so belittling to any profession to make its pursuit depend upon any other condition than that of personal efficiency. But in the present tendency for organization inflexible methods of procedure may work harm, not only to individuals, but to the very causes for which organization exists. To exclude women from teaching merely because they are married does not allow for the free exercise of individual excellence, and makes marriage a condition of servitude rather than an ennobling career, often fitting one to perform other duties with a diviner power of intuition into what is best to do, just because one is married. The Curse of Modern Prosperity By DR. EMIL G. HIRSCH. The lack of reverence, the continual assertion of personal independence and the expression in a myriad of ways of "I am as good as you are" is the curse of our modern prosperity. The conservation of the home is a thing too much lost sight of in these modern times of strenuosity, and there is not the necessary intimate community between fathers and their children and mothers and their daughters. Unless the community succeeds in desecularizing the system of education the outlook for the retention of any religious teachings and principles by public school children is not bright. Even in the Jewish homes, where reverence to the father and the mother has always been so marked and so characteristic, there is a tendency to unlearn that part as well as others of their religion. The supremacy of the home as the altar of religion must be recognized and the religious responsibility of the head of the family must be universally understood CITY NEWS.

OF THE JUROR WAS IN A HURRY. Promptly Decided Case and Caused Its Postponement. Serving on the jury in court 4 is Richard Conan, who believes in losing as little time as possible in deciding cases brought before him, says the Philadelphia Record. He happened to be empaneled to try the suit of the city against the estate of Richard J. Dobbins, which was an action to recover assessment bills for the laying of water pipe in front of the Dobbins property at Frankford. The defense was that the property being rural, no recovery could be had for municipal improvements. Conan, his face a deep study, had listened attentively to the complicated contentions of opposing counsel, and when a lull occurred in the argument he arose, and, addressing the court himself, said: "Faith, your honor, I wud loike to ask a quissthm that goes to the technical pint iv the kase." "What is it?" queried Judge Audenried, surprised. "Well, it's this: Is this property in the city limits or without?" "Why, of course it is within the city limits, or the city would not be a party to the suit," explained the judge. "Dthin we'll desiode that it's city property, subject to city improvements," quickly concluded Conan, without seeking the views of his fellow-jurors on the subject. "But you cannot decide anything until you've heard all the testimony and the law explained in the charge of the court," advised Judge Audenried. "Shure it's poor law, thin," muttered Conan, in a disappointed manner as he resumed his seat. Every one in the court room laughed at the unusual incident, but the judge was some* at provoked, as the case, which had been on trial for several hours, had to be discontinued in view of the expression of opinion from the juror.

D., has caused the river to leave its banks and one hundred families were made homeless. While the largest manufacturer of cotton goods this country imported in 1906 $69,000,000 worth of that product being one third more than we exported. Water in the Niagara river gorge is at the highest point it has ever been. Near two miles of roadbed, tracks and trolley wires of the electric road which runs along the water's edge have been washed away and the railroad suffers damage of nearly $200,000 The state railway commission of Wisconsin has ordered that the railroads in that state give a flat two and one half cent passenger fare. Pulajanes recently attacked and burned two towns in Occidental Negros, killing six members of the constabulary. The senate has passed a bill to provide for an investigation of the water resources of the United States. The bureau of statistics reports that the United States exported last year 31,518,494 pounds of coffee—the product of Porto Rico and Hawaii. USEFUL INFORMATION FOR MISTRESS OR MAID. Best Preparation to Clean Kitchen Walls—Board That Will Be Found Handy in Many Respects —Table Oilcloth. To clean the kitchen walls, first pour some kerosene in a basin, then take a soft cloth and dip it in the kerosene and wash a part of the wall with it, then wring another cloth out of nice hot water and go over the spot just cleaned with kerosene and lastly wipe with clean, dry cloth. You will be surprised at the results. It is the easiest and most satisfactory way of washing painted kitchen or bathroom walls. Sandpaper will clean suede leather, undressed or "ooze" calfskin bags. Rubbing the sandpaper lightly over these leathers makes the article equal to new. Many housekeepers will be interested in a little board they can have made expressly for their use. It is nothing more than the ordinary bread board secured from the 10-cent store, nicely covered several times with newspaper and then a covering of canton flannel or a piece of outing flannel neatly whipped along the four edges. When this is finished make a case, as you would for a pillow, as large as the board and put three buttons on closing end, also three buttonholes. When in a hurry to press a seam or tab collar or shirtwaist, slip your case on the board and press to your heart's content in the dining-room, away from the kitchen heat. Makers of fancy work may not know the possibilities of plain black or white oilcloth of the kind known as table oilcloth. It takes paints as well as celluloid, and calendars, photo frames, splashers, toilet mats may be made from it. Where it is necessary to bind with ribbon this can be sewed on with the machine. Hot milk is much more effective than hot water to take out stains. Oilcloth and linoleum may be washed with a damp cloth and then rubbed with a little linseed oil. This will give a slight polish and will be found particularly useful when, for the sake of the old people or children, it is not wise to use that excellent material, beeswax and turpentine. To Cover Furniture. An original idea for covering furniture has been tried and proved successful by a woman who wished to have some unsightly chairs in her furnished flat improved. She bought a lot of Roman blankets, with wide dark blue and red stripes, and had an upholsterer cover her sofa and chairs with them, just as though he were using tapestry or velour. These looked so well that she has her bedroom chairs also covered with blankets, having alternate pink and floral stripes. She has had portieres and inside curtains made of blankets matching those on the chairs, and the effect is really charming, and, as the blankets are very cheap, they cost much less than one would suppose. She says that everything depends upon the color of the blankets chosen. Of course, very pronounced stripes would be ugly upon furniture, but the more subdued or delicate colors give a most satisfactory appearance to a room. Here is an opportunity for the amateur upholsterer to try her hand. Peanut Candy. For every cupful of shelled and blanched peanuts, allow one cupful each of molasses and sugar. Boil these together until the mixture is brittle when dropped in cold water. Add a cupful of prepared peanuts and take from the fire. Pour into buttered pans and mark into squares before it cools. Hickory nuts, English walnuts or almonds may be used in place of the peanuts. To "Try" a Cake. One of the best plans for ascertaining whether a cake has been cooked enough is to very lightly insert in the center one of the common wooden skewers that butchers use for meat. If this comes out clean and dry the cake is done; if the skewer is sticky the cake needs a little more cooking. This is a much better test than the common one of inserting a broom straw, as the latter is so small it is not always easy to judge properly of its condition. Saved Time in Saying Pravers. Elmer had had company all day, and a sleepier boy was never put to bed. Just as his mother finished undressing him he said: "Mamma, I said my prayers on the way upstairs, so as to save time."

Macerate It in Water and Bake Good, Wholesome Bread—The Pine Keeps the Blood Pure and The Body Healthy. In Kamschatka the people live in earth-covered pits. Mr. Kennan compares the sound of their language to that of water running out of a narrow-mouth jug. Their bread is made from the inner bark of the Pine Tree, macerated in water and baked without flour. They are a hardy race, the Pine keeping the blood pure and the various organs of the body in a healthy condition. Consumption is unknown among them. A noted specialist in throat and lung trouble, who established a camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine, and whose remarkable cures there have attracted great attention from the medical world, says that one half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, mixed with two ounces of Glycerine and one half pint of good Whisky and used in teapoonful doses, will heal and strengthen the lungs, break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any prescription druggist at small cost. Inquiry at the prescription department of a leading local druggist elicited the information that the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine is put up only in half-ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case, with engraved wrapper, showing the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) guaranteed under the Food and Drug act, June 30, 1906. Prepared only by the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O. plainly printed thereon. There are many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), which are being 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. Proper Method of Walking. To derive any real benefit from walking, the step must be light and elastic; swing the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt. The harmonious play of the muscles imparts a supple grace and litheness that is felt mentally as well as physically, and produces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins. This manner of walking, as may be imagined, strengthens the whole body, giving tone to the nerves and producing just the sort of healthful fatigue which encourages sound rest and beautiful slumber. Two Rules for Good Carriage PEE RULES FOR GOOD CARriage. If you are walking along the street and wake up to the fact that you are carrying yourself poorly take the mental attitude of standing straight, as well as the physical one. Look at the men you meet and imagine that each of them owes you a dollar. Put even a suggestion of arrogance into your position. Hold your head well back; look people squarely in the face. This will not only give the impression to others that you possess the power you want, but it will actually tend to bring that power. Keep the neck against the collar.—World's Work. The End of an Intention "What a pretty little gown that is you have on!" they exclaimed. "So soft and fine. Such delicate, lovely silk. All you'll have to do will be to take the yoke out of it to make it an evening gown." "I like it," she said, complacently. "This is the way I happened to buy it: I went into a department store to buy a sturdy, thick, heavy woolen gown for mountain climbing—it was in the fall—and they showed me this, which was marked down for that day, so I bought it. What are you laughing at?" DREADED TO EAT. A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are—indigestion and its accompanying miseries. A Phila, lady said, the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals. "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidently, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Expert oil well drillers from Florence will drill a number of wells near Montrose for a company in which Fremont county men are interested. The United States senate has passed Senator Patterson's bill granting the city of Durango authority to purchase lands for water supply purposes. Burglaries blew open the safe of Carleton & Son, grocers, at Pueblo on the night of the 12th inst. and secured $225 in cash and negotiable paper and securities. John Gonas of Colorado Springs on the 19th inst., shot near Fountain a monster gray eagle weighing twelve pounds and measuring seven and onealf feet from tip to tip. The granite blocks are arriving and work has been commenced on the erection of the Colorado soldiers' monument in front of the capitol building in Denver. At a joint meeting of the directors of all the banks of Boulder the sugar factory proposition was heartily indorsed and the people were urged to subscribe to the stock. While striking at a wounded rabbit with the but of his shotgun James Elmer Bethel of Pueblo, aged eighteen years, was killed by the accidental discharge of the weapon. Dr. John G. Keith, for the past eighteen years one of the leading physicians of Leadville, died at St. Louis on the 16th inst. of paralysis. Dr. Keith was a Civil War veteran and a thirty-second degree Mason. The First Congregational Church Society of Denver, formerly Myron Reed's church, after selling its old building on Glenarm street, is about to erect a new church at the corner of 'Tenth avenue and Clarkson street. Dr. A. McKay of Colorado Springs, will start East shortly to advertise Colorado and Colorado Springs. The railroads and local public organizations together with the hotels and rooming houses, are financing the project. The locomotive of a Colorado Midland passenger train on the night of the 13th inst, struck and killed a large buck deer near Woodland Park. The train was stopped and the carcass of the deer carried to Colorado Springs in the baggage car. More than $24,000 has already been subscribed in Colorado Springs toward the construction of a Deaconess hospital, which is to cost $100,000. The institution will be run by the Deaconess' board of the Womans' Home Missionary Society. So warm has the weather at Boulder that the buds on the trees have swollen and leaves on the cottonwood trees are about ready to come out. Dandelions are in bloom and trees are bleeding where they have been cut or bruised. A dispatch from Bailey in the Platte canon February 15th says: The river is nearly free from ice, robins are singing, green grass is showing and easterners are applying for summer cottages. But eight inches of snow fell here this winter. The Longmont Library and Lecture Association has just closed its third year with flattering results. The association conducts a lecture course and maintains a public library, using the proceeds of the lectures to purchase books. The City Council has just added $500 to the book fund. Weld county's coroner for eighteen recessive years, with the exception of one term, and undertaker at Greeley for twenty years, Capt. Thomas Macy, has just celebrated his seventy-second birthday, and on that day his records show that he had arranged for 3000 funerals in Greeley and vicinity. Fruit buds in the Canon City district have not been injured by frost during the winter. Never have the orchards been in better condition than at present and indications are favorable for a big fruit crop this year. The only danger now menacing the fruit crop is a continuance of the warm weather, which might cause the buds to develop too rapidly, resulting in their being killed by frost in March or April. The Wellington Association has purchased what is known as the Park reservoir, a tract covering 160 acres south of the Arapahoe Peak watershed and at the foot of the range in Boulder county. It will construct a dam there sixty-five feet high and about 250 feet long on the top, which will enable the storage of 120,000,000 gallons of water. This water will be used for power purposes in the mountains and for irrigating purposes in the valley. Farming operations on an extensive scale will be inaugurated at Larimer, eighteen miles south of Pueblo, when a colony arrives in a few days. Arrangements have been made to build a large dam to hold the flood waters, which will be used to irrigate the land. Portable engines and gang plows mounted on cables are at work breaking up the ground. The underflow is said to be so great that it will form a lake which will irrigate an immense tract. Henry P. Heath, a resident of Greeley for thirty-one years, and well known over the state in connection with the I. O. O. F., the Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen of the World lodges, met almost instant death in a runaway accident at noon on the 18th inst.. within a block of his home, death resulting from fracturing the larnyx, caused by the force of his fall. He was driving a colt that became frightened and ran the carriage against a stump. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound dissolves and expels Tumors at an early stage of development.

"You may talk about prompt and careful bookkeeping all you want to," said a Boston man, "but a case came under my observation a Sunday or two ago which I think is without parallel. I was attending a service at the Mount Vernon church. When the contribution box was passed the worshiper sitting next to me put in a coin, and immediately took from his pocket a notebook and a pencil and made a memorandum of the amount which I could not help seeing without turning my head around, as it was done right under my eye. His cash account will foot up all right." LYDIA E.PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Is acknowledged to be the most successful remedy in the country for those painful ailments peculiar to women.

The blouse is mounted with fine plaits to a yoke of gulpure or embroidery, which is bordered with bands of the material united by a sort of lacing of silk galloon and tiny gold buttons over an insertion of velvet of a little darker shade. This trimming encircles the armholes and trims the bottoms of the sleeves, which are plaited at the top and finished with puffs and frills of lace. The draped girdle is of satin, or velvet, fastened in front with a buckle. The plain skirt is plaited at the top and encircled at the bottom with five rows of stitching. The other costume is of sevres blue cloth, trimmed with bands of velvet of What woman is there who does not admire a beautiful complexion and desires it for herself if it is possible to be obtained? There is no doubt that many women rather injure than improve their complexions by the lotions used and the severe treatment given to the skin. It is a mistake to try all the lotions one sees advertised and to torture the face with all manner of gymnastics. It is the simple treatment that is the surest to result beneficially. Try a mixture of eau de cologne and almond oil. The right way to go to work is to begin with very much diluted eau de cologne, half water and half perfume. Soak some pieces of medicated wadding in the liquid and thoroughly and very gently cleanse the face before going to bed at night. When the face is perfectly clean fresh pieces of wadding should be soaked in a half and half mixture of almond oil and eau de cologne and the face should be very quietly massaged, rubbing always upward, and extreme care being taken to avoid stretching the skin, which is wonderfully elastic. The oil must be allowed to dry on the face and next morning the skin must be freely bathed in the eau de cologne sold for baths and frictions. I lay special stress on the latter sentence as there is an immense difference between ordinary eau de cologne—of the finest quality—and the liquid sold for frictions. The former would be much too strong and pungent for delicate complexions. Of course complexions differ as COMING Many of the new millinery models are particularly dainty and attractive. Taken as a whole the hats of this winter are sufficiently restrained and free from exaggeration, and it is probable that the same will continue to be true of the millinery of the coming spring and summer. In our illustration we show the very latest and most becoming version of the mushroom shape. The closely gauged black silk has a band of velvet draped round the moderately high crown and drawn into a big chon at the side, while some full blown roses of shining gold tissue and gauze put in an effective appearance on the other side. The first hat on the left is made in mauve taffeta with velvet ribbon and deftly poised wings to match for its triumph, and brown tulle sooty gath- --- a darker shade and with soutache. The blouse forms a sort of plastron trimmed on the outside with the velvet and soutache, and on the inside with blocked bands of the material ornamented with triangles of the velvet, loops of soutache and tiny gold buttons; the ends of the blocks are finished with motifs of lighter cloth. The waistcoat and turnover collar are of this lighter cloth, the collar trimmed with soutache. The chemisette and sleeve puffs are of white silk batiste and lace; the cuffs and girdle are of the cloth trimmed with the velvet and soutache, as is also the bottom of the skirt. The latter is fitted smoothly over the hips and has a seam in the middle of the front. greatly as do characters, but for the average woman the eau de cologne and almond oil treatment will bring good results. But there are probably some of our readers who care more for dress than they do for complexion and who are impatiently waiting to hear the latest from fashiondom. Well, first of all it is extremely likely that with the spring styles the flounce, especially in narrow width, will occupy an important position among spring trimmings. Almost all the newest tailor made costumes show the cape bolero effect on the shoulders, but in some cases it is very subdued, just giving a tinge of the "1830" effect. Indoor blouses are now very often made with perfectly flat shoulder seams and with the trimmings arranged to simulate a fichu or short cape. All of these old-time and truly picturesque touches on modern costumes are delightful. They make for variety, and lend themselves, when properly chosen, to accentuate the individual quality of each wearer's special beauty of form or face. What is needed to improve the evening and house gowns of to-day is the copying of what is best in old-time costumes, as well as originality of creation. There is little that is truly new, save the severe tailored gowns. The evolution of the modern corset has led to the creation of the strictly modern and truly smart coat and skirt combinations. MILLINERY ered and puffed on the bandeau for a finishing touch. The toque pictured in the center is just the thing to crown the softly waved and puffed hair. It is made of transparent drapery of black tulle, which at one side is drawn into twists and loops which are held in position by a large and effective buckle of plain jet. Then, curving close against the hair are two white ostrich tips which complete a most betwitching and at the same time convenient and comfortable form of headgear. Dinner on a Chimney-Top.

BOYS WILL RUN TOWN CITY FOR YOUTHS PLANNED AT LAKE WINONA, IND. Richmond, Ind.—A boy city, with a population of 5,000 persons, ranging in age from 11 to 17 years, organized as a complete municipality, with wards, city council, mayor and administrative departments, officered entirely by youths, will be created at Lake Winona, Ind., next August, in connection with the Winona Chau-tauqua assembly. The city will exist three weeks. The movement was started a short time ago at a meeting attended by 30 prominent business and professional men, connected with the Winona assembly and Winona Technical school. There will be eight wards in the city, each one of which will elect a representative to the city council. The council will meet once or twice a week. A grocery, a notion, and candy store, a soda water tountain, a restaurant, a photographic supply shop, etc., are to be owned and operated by stock companies of boys, each number in charge of an adult. At the end of the season the profits will be distributed as dividends. Each boy will be expected to provide his own provisions. He may bring them with him, or buy them at the grocery, and may eat his meals at the restaurant, where the prices will be only a little more than cost. The boys will live in tents, holding four and eight occupants. These will be set up by the management without cost to the boys, the small advance fee charged each for his three weeks' residence in the city including his tent, cot, light, fuel and water. There will be five permanent buildings in the city—the assembly hall, general store and supply house, gymnasium, band stand and electrical and photographic shops. One of the features will be a telephone system, by means of which the boys will be taught the rudiments of telephone engineering. This will be an adjunct of the electrical department, and the boys interested in this branch of work can purchase and install instruments in their tents at a nominal fee. It is arranged that the electrical class shall have a monopoly on the telephones, charging all others one cent for each call. Any abuse of this monopoly will be thrashed out before the city council to the development of boy oratory. All boys who own cameras will be urged to bring them. A camera club will be organized to hold competitions for the best pictures. Every boy who possesses a musical instrument will be expected to bring that with him also. A boys' band and a boys' orchestra will be formed out of the musical talent which the management expects to discover. A gymnasium will be constructed, with the aid of the boys, working under the direction of expert carpenters. An athletic field will be laid out along the lake and all kinds of competitions held under municipal auspices. Classes in nature study will be formed, in which competent men will instruct the boys in all the interesting lore of trees, rocks, birds, fish and flowers that are to be found in and around the lake. GET FACTS ON MAIL MATTER. Members of Congress Told How It Is Distributed. Washington.—Postmaster General Cortelyou has reported to congress the record from July 1 to December 31, 1906, of all second-class mail matter received for free distribution at the one-cent-a-pound rate in compliance with a provision in the current appropriation act. It was found that more than 90 per cent. of all second-class matter originated in 427 cities. The total weight of this class of mail for the period was 370,008,915 pounds. The weight of daily newspapers was 141,123,856 pounds, all of which was carried an average of 255 miles; weekly and other than daily newspapers carried weighed 77,736,648, hauled 490 miles; scientific periodicals, 4,446,859, hauled 793 miles; educational periodicals, 2,535,748, hauled 644 miles; religious periodicals, 20,489,953, hauled 599 miles; trade journals, 16,689,639, hauled 707 miles; agricultural periodicals, 17,149,351, hauled 525 miles; magazines, 68,136,099, hauled 920 miles; miscellaneous, 21,700,762, hauled 990 miles.

Philadelphia.—The legislature of the great state of Pennsylvania passed a new law in order that a woman might recover a toy bureau she played with as a child, and which was sold, by mistake, for $1.25. Mrs. Emma B. Gulou, now of Pasadena, Cal., daughter of the late Judge F. Carroll Brewster, was the woman aided by the legislature. The bureau was sold with other household effects of her father when he died. The buyer refused to give it up, and the new law so amends the replevin law as to cover the case
