Corner Stone of Negro Building Laid with Appropriate Ceremonies at Jamestown, Va. VOL. XIII, IMPORT News from the National of Negro Building La Ceremonies at Special to Colorado Statesman: The corner stone of the Negro building of the Jamestown Exposition was recently placed with elaborate ceremony and in the presence of a large gathering of Exposition officials and other visitors. The officials of the Negro Department were well represented and included Mrs. A. M. Curtis the Fiscal agent; the board of directors, Messrs Giles B. Jackson, A. F. Hilyer and T. J. Calloway and other lesser lights. It is understood the work of organization and collecting the exhibit is being pushed rapidly forward through a number of competent agents, covering territory all over the country and that the prospects are particularly bright for a satisfactory and entirely creditable exhibit. Should this result be achieved strong testimony shall have been advanced of the undoubted capacity of women for the management of large affairs. It must not be forgotten that it was Mrs. Curtis, who at the sacrifice of domestic duty and perhaps other more congenial pursuits came boldly to the rescue and with tact and a delicate diplomacy, which cannot be too highly praised, lifted the enterprise out of defeat and possible disgrace. Messrs Calloway and Hilyer are both men of large capacity and experience in handling the business end of exposition problems and will be invaluable in prosecuting to a successful issue the further work of the Exhibition. The Negro Department has been assigned offices in the treasury building, where is also located the main offices of the Exposition proper and although separated by the entire length of the immense building, a few minutes walk makes each accessible to the other and the relations of the two are in every essential cordial and promising. The fact that R. W. Thompson, the veteran newspaper writer of Indianapolis is now attached to the management of the Negro Exhibit and using his exceptional talents in the promotion of its success, is gratifying in the extreme and an additional assurance that the public will be satisfied and informed when it visits Jamestown and the Negro building a few months hence.

BY PATRON LORA THE J NT Corner Stone appropriate Va. and be a lawyer The of Pate does not for this been in when s he seen some se mation the sad but too Indi in all p ious case of the Washington School board vs. Supervising Principal Francis L. Cardozo, reached a second termination on the evening of the 8th of March, when he was again dismissed by vote of the board, seven against one for acquittal. The charges were Insubordination; refusal to co-operate with the Superintendent; refusal to recognize the Asst. Supt. as a fit person for that office and the authorship of an anonymous letter reflecting on the ability of Mr. Montgomery, the Asst. Supt. in charge of the colored schools. He was unamimously acquitted of all charges except that of writing the anonymous letter and with no evidence that would hold in any court of law, this charge was claimed to have been sustained and the teacher thereupon dismissed. The case goes back to the recent reorganization of the schools, under which a shifting of places and assignments and appointments were made in the higher offices of the school system. A number of teachers were dropped in both the white and colored schools. Among the latter were Mrs. Cooper, the capable Principal of the colored high school. Supervising Prin. Bernard Clarke and others. Against these teachers no charges were made, they had taught many years in the schools and were shocked beyond expression when without warning this action was teken. The "good of the service" was given as the reason. Shortly after, however, a reason for the removal of Clarke was made apparent, when to the position he had occupied was appointed Roscoe C. Bruce of Tuskegee. These acts caused wide-spread indignation and affairs were in no sense pacified when the matter of Cardozo and the annonymous letter and his subsequent dismissal came along to mix things more thoroughly. Citizens generally took the part of the dismissed teachers, for mankind as a rule believes in fair play and the force of the contention upheld in all civilized communities, which considers a man innocent until proved guilty. These people had been dismissed summarily without trial and the school law says that "charges shall be preferred and the accused have the opportunity to defend himself --- and be attended at the hearing by a lawyer and one friend." The new Supt., Mr. Chancellor of Paterson and Newark, N. J., does not seem to have cared a fig for this and while he had only been in the office a few weeks when school opened in the Fall, he seems to have acquired from some source, a great deal of information, wholesome and otherwise, the sad effects of which have been but too apparent. Indignation meetings were held in all parts of the city in protest, the purpose of which was to have the deposed teachers reinstated and given the benefit of a fair and open trial. Meanwhile Cardozo took the bull by the horns and went into court. He won his case on the ground that he had not had a trial which he had a right to demand. He was then permitted to reassume the duties of his office pending arrangements for his trial by the board. The trial as previously stated has just been ended and while Cardozo cleared himself to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced person, the board felt that it was obliged to justify its former action. Hence the vote was 7 to 1 for dismissal. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey recorded the negative vote and was vigorously applauded by the spectators. The colored members of the board in attendance were John F. Cook and Mrs. Mary Church Terrel. Lawyer James A. Cobb a Negro and a leading member of the Bar had charge of the defense which he conducted in splendid style. It is also probable that other chapters may be written to this already famous case. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The Kansas Legislature has just made an appropriation of $55,880 to Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, and $27,000 to the Topeka Industrial School. The arrogant, boastful, vain glorious Negro is not a desirable quantity in the race. He is irresponsible, he makes unnecessary trouble, and the whole race gets credit for his folly. Rev. O. J. W. Scott, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church at Washington D. C., is prominently mentioned in connection with the chaplaincy of the United States Army, soon to be vacant by Dr. T. G. Steward, who retires on on account of age. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1907. JOHN H. PAYNTER. Washington, March 12.—The postoffice department does not intend to draw the color line in the matter of white and Negro railway mail clerks working together on the same runs. Although an intimation has been given that white clerks in the middle West are preparing to request the government to put the Negroes on runs which will not bring them into proximity with the whites, it is stated that no such discrimination can or will be made. The individual, race or nationality that will Jim Crow or discriminate against their own race in business for the sake of currying favor with some other race, and for a few-paltry dollars, is a moral, cringing, perverted coward, and is wholly devoid of common sense, self-respect and manhood and as the Negro is the only race that commits this contemptible, unprincipled, mefarious act, it appeals to him with all the force at our command, and when the other races in business draw the line on a colored man a howl goes up, but they have an inon-clad argument to sustain their position, made so by the Negro business men. How long will this continue? The Goldfield Daily Tribune says: John Jones, colored, is janitor of the Montezuma club, and a good one, too. John is worth more than $100,000. He could turn that sum into bank cash, almost any day. He owns large blocks of the best stocks on the board. He has been buying stocks with every dollar he could save above his very modest living expenses since he came to Goldfield some three years ago, and especially since he secured his present job. John appears at the club rooms every morning at 7 o'clock sharp and sweeps and dusts with conscientious labor and energy, just as though his next meal depended upon his holding that job. Florence, Tenn.—A murder which is probably unique in the criminal annals of the State came to light this morning when the body of Frank Houston, a 9 year old Negro, was brought to an undertaking establishment here for the purpose of holding a post-mortem examination. The unusual feature of the crime is that the alleged slayer is a white girl, Annie Powell, 14 years of age. The dead boy was the son of John Houston, a respectable Negro who lives at Stewart's Springs, and the Powers and her mother recently moved into the next house to Houston's house, according to the eye-witnesses, she picked up a rock and threw it at the child, striking him in the back of the head. The boy fell unconscious and never spoke again, his death occurring at 9 o'clock, in the evening. There had been bad feeling between the two families on account of Houston's complain to his landlord that the Powers people were disor然然ly and demanding that they be moved out. The Powers woman, so it is alleged had been heard to say they would kill some of the "niggers" before they moved. The post-mortem examination developed that death was due to concussion of the brain, caused by the blow from the rock. New Thought Defined in all Its Meanings. Its Popularity is Fast Gaining the Attention of Thinking People. Last week we gave our readers an opportunity to express themselves on this subject; whether or not they wanted to read something on this important topic now under investigation by the best minds of the world, both literary, philosophical and scientific. A sufficient number have signified their interest to warrant us to continue the subject. This article will deal with the topic, "What is New Thought and the various schools for teaching the subject?" In this study we shall avoid scientific terms, only using them where it is absolutely necessary, but will put new thought meaning into every day words. "New Thought" is an intelligent grasp of the laws that govern all forms of life and activity whether physical, psychical or spiritual. Its object is to understand and explain them, so that men will profit by the knowledge and better do their work and live their life. Its purpose is to show that all laws and principle eminate from one source and are therefore monistic or a unite. That it is the progression and expansion of this law which marks our modification, individulization and displays diversity which is known by the terms of development and evolution. Throughout the new school of thought the words evolution, expansion, modification and diversity simply mean phazes of the operation of the principle of unfolding. These statements are both simple and clear and can be understood by anybody whether a student or not. The different New Thought schools of whatever shades or names or teachers express and teach this one principle so that it makes no difference whatever the name, whether it be theosophy, occultism, spiritism, Christan or divine science, esoteric, philosophy, brotherhood of humanity, Buddism, Laotize, Krishna, Osiris or any other designation, it is an identity of teaching that the universe has its source in One Life and that man's spirit is the offspring of that Life and that man may rise to his source and become one with it. That human life on earth is a means to an end and that end is, the perfecting of the body, soul and spirit. It is a consciousness that man is an immortal spirit linked with a lower nature and that the purification and development of the lower nature and its union with the spirit are the means whereby the lower may NO. 25. share the immortality of the higher. That all men are brethren and that the law of knowledge and love is the law of progress. Such are some of the truths that are found in every religion however great may be the differences in the intellectual presentments of their dogmas rites and ceremonies in different communities. As the same water may be held in vessels differing in size, in shape, color, material and decoration but this water drawn from any of them quenches the thirst of men, so may the water of spiritual life be found in all religious vessels and may be drawn from them for the refreshment of the soul athirst. This then is the purpose of the New Thought school, to wake men up and cause them to think. The Orthodox churches have aroused the spiritual desire but not quickened the intelligence and minds of its followers. The triumphs of Western civilization and science has been purely materialistic. It has appealed to man's comfort and luxeries but not to his spiritual nature. Minds that are more intellectual than spiritual are found slipping into skepticism and infidelity while minds more religious than practical are found to be turning to mysticism and superstition. New Thought therefore comes to adjust the balance and correlate the two. It is the mission of New Thought to save the future generations from a religion void of all science and a science devoid of all religion. This is why New Thought is a necessity and has a work to do that is important. It is the centre around which both religion and science may gather and affords a key to each. New Thought, therefore stands on a middle ground and looks and works both ways and calls for volunteers who are willing to co operate for the spreading of religion and science or love and true brotherhood among all men. It is for this reason that New Thought cannot be partial or prejudiced. It deals without distinction of race, creed, sect, caste or color and must deal alike with Celt, Greek, Latin, Mongolian, African or Anglo Saxon. Its goal is the universal spirit and spiritual consciousness. In our next article we will deal with the various avenues of approach to this unity of spirit or universal consciousness, which is the main subject of all thinking and reasoning of mankind.

Fetzer's bill providing for a constitutional amendment to authorize a bond issue of over $800,000 to take up outstanding warrants for the period from 1887 to 1897, was passed by the House on third reading Monday. Four bills by Senator Parks, relating to telephone, telegraph and similar franchises, occupied most of the time of the Senate Thursday, bringing on some heated discussion. All of the bills were passed on second reading by narrow majorities. The House on Tuesday struck out the enacting clause of the following bills: H. B. 165, Redd, concerning delinquent children; H. B. 306, Fetzer, to amend the lien laws; H. B. 204, Cannon, for a paddle wheel at the mouth of ditches; H. B. 297, Fetzer, revenue. The Rittenhouse insurance bill, one of the longest measures in the present session, was read at length and passed unanimously on third reading by the Senate. The only material change made was an amendment of Senator Booth fixing the time the act shall go into effect at December 31, 1907, instead of August. This is to give the companies opportunity to prepare for the new provisions. A bill that is being pressed for passage as one that would add to the progress of agriculture in the state, is the Taylor bill for a proposed amendment to the state constitution exempting from taxation reservoirs built for serving adjoining land and which are not used for storage of water for sale. It would place reservoirs in the same position as canals and ditches used for the same purpose. It has passed second reading in the Senate. Senator Millard reported for the committee from both houses appointed to investigate conditions in the state house basement, the committee, consisting of himself and Senator Sapp and Representatives Wolaver, Smith and Bellesheld. The report recommends some important precautionary measures relative to the books and records of the state, most of which are stored in the basement. It is feared that there are chances for a big fire some day. In considering H. B. No. 364, the House struck out all reference to any land along the banks of the streams, thus making it reserve to fishermen only the beds and banks of natural streams. In its original form, it had provided that hereafter the state should reserve, on all lands sold, the fishing rights of all streams running through them, together with the right of way along banks and beds of streams and fifty feet on each side of the stream. The House committee on roads and bridges has agreed to indefinitely postpone H. B. 61, introduced by Mr. Dulin. This is the bill to provide for the appointment by the governor of a highway commission of three members. It was indorsed by the good roads meeting held in Denver. The Chamber of Commerce and all the commercial bodies of the state were also interested in the measure, having advocated it as likely to aid in making the Colorado highways what they should be, the best in the world. Doctor Dulin is chairman of the House committee on roads and bridges. He introduced the highway bill in the House, while Senator Drake put it on the Senate list. Doctor Dulin stated, in speaking of the action, that the influence that killed the bill came from the Senate and was so strong that, though he is chairman of the committee, the majority was against him. Going into the committee of the whole Saturday afternoon, with Representative Frank L. Dodge in the chair, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives submitted the Republican caucus railroad commission bill for the Kelly bill, which its author claimed was modeled after the federal commission law. The substitution was by a strict party vote of 41 to 17, McLachlan, Democrat, and Winters, Republican being paired. The vote was as follows: In favor of the substitution of the makeshift caucus measure for the real railroad bill introduced by Kelly: Adams, Beck, Blainey, Bryan, Cannon, Cohen, Collins, Dillingham, Dilts, Dodge, Dolph, Dulin, Fetzer, Frank, Garcia, Graden, Grisham, Harbison, Healy, Hickman, Hoyt, Hudgins, Kelly, Laton, Lines, Morrell, Paddock, Parker, Parrish, Redd, Smith, Stewart, Tannenbaum, Turner, Verner, Vincent, Watson, Wilder, Wolaver, Young, Speaker Breckenridge. In favor of retaining the Kelly bill, said to have been framed along the line of the Roosevelt railroad law: Bawden, Bellesfield, Blatchford, Bolsinger, Ebbert, Fall, Hollenbeck, Hurd, Keil, Kem, Lawrence, Lehrriter, MacKenzie, Napier, O'Connell, Rubin, Walker. Absent and not paired: Bunney, Dray, Farr, Schmidt, Valdez. While 1,000 people stood and sang the successive stanzas of "America" in Marble hall last Tuesday night, Governor Buchtel sat at a table on the platform in front of them all and signed Senate Bill No. 97, introduced by Senator Parks, making it a law that August 1st of 1907, and August 1st of every year following, shall be known and observed as Colorado Day. The spirit of patriotism has seldom been shown more enthusiastically in Denver than at that meeting. In spite of the blizzard that was raging outside, there were very nearly 1,000 people present, and many of them had come from surrounding towns in order to witness the signing of the bill. The hall had been brilliantly decorated with flags, strands of electric bulbs in the national colors, and a great electric display across the front of the hall blazoning the word "Colorado." The platform was crowded with prominent people, including the governor, Chief Justice Steele, Mayor Speer and Hugh R. Steele, son of the first provisional governor of Colorado. The entertainment provided was brilliant with eloquence, humor and fine music. President Clarence Hagar, of the Sons of Colorado, opened the meeting with an address of welcome, and it was he who introduced each of the numbers on the program. The House has voted for the passage of a joint resolution by Healy of Boulder providing for the submission of a constitutional amendment giving the State University the right to remove to Denver the schools of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy for the last two years of the course in each school. The railroad bill passed third reading in the House on the 11th. The vote was as follows: Yeas—Adams, Bick, Blaney, Bryan, Bunney, Cannon, Cohen, Collins Dillingham, Dilts, Dodge, Dolph, Dray, Dulin, Farr, Fetzer, Frank, Garcia, Graden, Grisham, Harbison, Healey, Hickman, Hoyt, Hudgins, Kelly, Laton, Morrell, Pardock, Parrish, Redd, Smith, Tannenbaum, Turner, Valdez, Verner, Vincent, Watson, Winters, Wolaver, Young, Mr. Speaker—forty-two Nays —Bowden, Bellesfield, Blatchford, Bollinger, Fall, Hollenbeck, Hurd, Kell, Kern, Lehrritter, Lines, MacKenzie, McLochlan, O'Connell, Napier, Rubin, Schmidt, Walker—nineteen. Absent, excused and not voting—Ebbert, Stewart, Wilder—three. In the House Monday, Mr. O'Connell made a speech in support of his bill, providing for a constitutional amendment to make smelters to be public utilities. Mr. O'Connell charged that the smelters annually took hundreds of thousands of dollars of the value of ore and made no report to the producers of that ore. He also attacked an interview which was credited to Simon Guggenheim two years ago, in which the latter gave figures on the results to the miners of ore sold to smelters. His argument was that the smelters should be declared public utilities, that rates for smelting ores should be fixed by a public commission. An extended reply was made by Mr. Dolph, who quoted from the reports of numerous investigators to show that ill-advised legislation against trusts has resulted in making the trusts stronger. At the conclusion of the debate, which took up all of the afternoon, Mr. Dolph moved that the enacting clause be removed from the bill. Carried. The Elsner collection of minerals is to be removed from the charge of the state unless it is paid for within a short time. The collection is valued at $15,000, and is believed to be the most extensive and valuable collection of Colorado minerals ever gotten together. When Harry A. Lee was commissioner of mines for the state he secured the collection on an arrangement made whereby the state was to acquire ownership. He paid Mr. Elsner $2,500 on account, but the balance has never been paid. When Mr. White took the office of commissioner of mines he kept on with the work of trying to raise the balance due on that collection, and also to pay for the grand display of Mollie Gibson cres now with the bureau. The latter, like the Elsner collection, is unique among displays and can never be duplicated. A bill has been introduced in the present session of the Legislature to appropriate $15,000 for the purchase of the two collections. Mr. White is especially anxious to have the bill enacted, as the specimens named have won five first premiums at as many World's Fairs for Colorado. The House has passed on second reading the Drake bill that passed the Senate some time back. The only important amendment made by the House was to limit the application to cities, towns, villages, districts, wards or precints, whereas the Senate bill permitted a county as well as these legal divisions and subdivisions to vote on this question. Governor Buchtel has worked like a Trojan for such a measure, and he succeeded in bringing into line with him quite a number of Republicans who at first were inclined to be extremely conservative. The bill that passed the House permits the people of any city, town or subdivision to decide for themselves whether they want saloons in their neighborhood. It was felt that to permit a whole county to be included, and have a bare majority declare that county "wet" or "dry," as the case might be, would work hardships. A county having a big city would permit that city to rule the county. In certain cases this would appear as tyranny. But great care was taken in the House to make a locality that votes anti-saloon to be dry. A drug store cannot turn itself into a saloon. In legislating against this form of hypocrisy, the House went further than the Senate. the Drake local option bill, which passed the House on the 13th, has been amended in two important particulars since it passed the Senate, especially in exempting the counties from its provisions. In the original bill provision was made that the residents of any county, city, town, ward, ward division, district or precinct, might apply for an election to have the subdivision declared "anti-saloon territory." The elicitation of the word county left ward and district as the largest subdivisions that could apply for the right to prohibit the sale of liquor within its borders. Forty per cent, of the voters of any political subdivision may apply to the county clerk for an election on the question within the territory, the petition to be filed at least thirty days before the general election. Explicit provisions are given for making up the petition, filing it with the clerk, and for the conduct of each of the steps leading to the election and declaration of the result. When a vote has been had in any subdivision, the vote shall not be subject to reversal at any time within twenty-three months. The sections referring to the devices to evade the law contain some provisions that are new. No selling or giving away of liquor within the district is permitted, except that a man may have wine at a dinner, for the benefit of his guests, without being subject to either fine or imprisonment. Prosecutions under the act may be started on filing of information. One exception was made to the operation of the act in the original bill, this permitting drug stores to sell liquor under certain restrictions. The section was subjected to severe criticism by many who otherwise favored the bill. So it was cut out and in its place was put one that permitted to drug store owners to set up as a defense if charged with violation of this act, that the liquor they had sold had been for medicinal or other proper purposes, and on the prescription of a physician, and that the prescription had been filled but once.

New York.—Mr. Jerome played on Tuesday probably the strongest card he holds—evidence which came to his knowledge but a few days ago, and which undoubtedly caused him to abandon the idea of trying to send White's slayer to a madhouse and to try for a straightout conviction under the criminal statutes. The evidence came from Mrs. Stanford White's brother, James Clinch White, who told a remarkably clear, succinct story of events in the Madison Square Garden the night White was killed and of a long conversation he had with Thaw just before the shooting. It seems Thaw sat for some time with Smith during the fateful first performance of "Mam'selle Champagne" and discussed with him a variety of topics in a manner, Mr. Smith declared, such as any sane man would talk. Mr. Smith gave the conversation in detail, omitting nothing, he asserted. With the brother-in-law of the man who was so soon to be a victim of his pistol, Thaw discussed the play, Wall street, common acquaintances, plans for the summer and other things, including a "buxom brunette," whom Thaw declared he was anxious to have Smith meet. Thaw said he and his wife were going abroad later in the summer. There was nothing anywhere in the repeated conversation of Thaw of intent to inflict bodily harm upon any one. Mr. Smith did say, however, that Thaw not having a reserved seat, roamed about the garden and continually looked in the direction of the spot where he subsequently killed Stanford White. Attorney Delmas, for the defense, bitterly fought the introduction of this testimony for nearly two hours to-day, renewing his argument began yesterday afternoon. He declared Mr. Smith was properly a witness in chief and should not be allowed to testify in rebuttal. Mr. Jerome replied that he had known only for a few days the real value of Mr. Smith's testimony—the conversations with Thaw—and he appealed to the discretion of the court to allow the testimony to go in. Justice Fitzgerald held that in the interest of justice the jury was entitled to all the facts. It was one of the most serious blows the judge has dealt the defense since his trial. There was another policeman on the stand to-day who saw Thaw the night of the tragedy and who declared the defendant at that time acted in a rational manner. Postal Clerk on Carpet. Washington. — Confirmation was given at the Postoffice Department Monday to a dispatch from San Francisco stating that Hugh M. Shaug, a railway postal clerk who has figured conspicuously in the organization of the Brotherhood of Railway Postal Clerks, a new organization, has been given three days to show why he should not be dismissed. It was said, however, that the charges upon which this action was based include disobedience of orders and the stirring up of discontent among clerks. It is stated that the department has not gone into the question of the brotherhood itself, but is dealing with Shauga as an individual because it was shown he presented a physician's certificate of illness and spent thirty days in soliciting financial assistance from among the clerks to influence legislation favorable to them, in direct violation of the order of the President; and, also, that as a result of his interviews with postal employees, the service has become more or less demoralized. Importation of Crude Materials. Washington.—A statement issued by the Bureau of Statistics shows that the importations of manufacturers' materials continue to increase. The value of the imports of raw materials for use in manufactures in the seven months ending with January, 1907, was $202,000,000, against $223,000,000 in the same months of last year, while manufactures imported for further use in manufactures amounted to $158,000,000, against $123,000,000 in the corresponding period of last year. Crude materials formed 32.2 per cent, of the total imports for use in manufactured and imports for further use in manufacturing 19.5 per cent. Cement imports aggregated $47,000,000; copper $23,500,000; raw cotton, $8,500,000; uncut diamonds, $7,000,000; diamonds cut but not set, nearly $15,000,000; fiber $24,333,000; hides and skins $45,000,000; India rubber, $320,000; plig iron, $8,300,000; silk, $44,500,000; plig tin nearly $23,000,000. Child Burned to Death at Eldora. Boulder, Colo—The home of Harold Young, a miner at Eldora, was destroyed by fire on the 12th and his child burned to death. Mrs. Young and gone to neighbor's and left two children, Ruth, aged four, and Bess, aged two, locked in the house. She had not been gone long when flames were discovered pouring from the windows. A neighbor, knowing that the children were in the house, rushed to the door but found it locked. Breaking in the door he crawled in on his hands and knees and rescued the younger child, but could not find Ruth because of the smoke and heat. After the house had burned to the ground, the crisp body of the little girl was found. Union Pacific Going to Craig. Steamboat Springs, Colo. — Craig seems destined to have the first railroad in Routt county connecting it with the outside world. A large force with 200 teams is at work at Wamsutta, Wyoming, on a branch line of the Union Pacific, which will make Craig its southern terminal, and also connect with the Moffat line at that place. Work on this branch is being pushed vigorously, and it is said Union Pacific trains will be running into Craig before the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific can get its rails laid through Gore canon. Women and the Looking Glass. How much time does a woman spend before her looking-glass? A German estimates that a girl of six to ten spends an average of seven minutes a day before a mirror, from ten to fifteen a quarter of an hour is consumed daily, and from fifteen to twenty, twenty-two minutes. Ladles from twenty to twenty-five occupy twenty-five minutes, from that age to thirty they are at least half an hour at their toilet. Thence there is a decline in coquetry. From thirty to thirty-five the time occupied comes down to twenty-four minutes, from thirty-five to forty it is only eighteen minutes; from forty to fifty, twelve minutes, and from fifty to sixty, only six minutes. A woman of seventy has thus spent 5,862 hours before the glass. In other words, eight months, counting night and day. World's Biggest Waterfall. The biggest waterfall in the world is in Africa. The Victoria falls on the Zambesi are twice as great as the Niagara falls. A scheme is being carried out to extract some of the 35,000,000-horse power from these African falls. Prof. George Forbes, who harnessed Niagara, had hardly finished the first electric works there when he received a letter asking if it would be possible to transmit power from the Victoria falls to all the gold mines in Rhodesia, 350 to 500 miles away. The professor sat down one night to work out some figures showing his correspondent that the scheme was impossible and absurd, but his figures turned against him and proved that the scheme was not only scientifically possible but that it would be commercially profitable. The Woman's Best. Tom—I can't help asking my fiance occasionally why she loves me. Dick—Me too. Mine always gives me a very satisfactory answer. Tom—That so? What does she say? Dick—"Because." A simple, but effective method for transporting infantry across rivers has just been invented by Capt. Ungermann, of the Austrian Technical Military Academy. The whole equipment and clothing of the soldier is converted into a floating body, the outward covering of which is composed of tent canvas and cloak. The rifle is used as a connecting stay underneath. A piece of thin cord, which every Austrian soldier carries, serves as a towing rope, and the soldiers who can swim tow the bundles across the river. The non-swimmers are also towed over. Experiments carried out at Ragusa and Treinjne under the supervision of the war office are reported to have been entirely successful. The new method costs nothing and involves only a small expediture of time and trouble. Mascagni's Sincerity. Mascagni, the celebrated composer, is one of the most energetic of musicians. The work he gets through is simply marvelous. His earnestness and fervor in conducting is so tremendous that at the end of an act he is noticed often to be in a profuse perspiration. "How do you always manage to come back for the next act looking so cool again?" a friend asked him recently. "I change every stitch," replied the man of music, "and have a thorough rub-down between each act. It is the only way in which I can get through the evening." J. W.

GET A HUSTLE ON YOU. Have you ever noticed signs of this kind. ‘‘No loafing allowed. Don’t talk to employes during business hours. No visiting here.’? Have you ever thought why these signs are posted in elevators, over soda fountains and in stores, shops and factories. It is because friends and associates run to these places to talk shop, polities, club, society, balls and church matters to employes during business hours and, not- withstanding these silent’ reminders, our people continue to do this thing anyhow. It is not right. It is not just to your friend or fair to his employer nor honorable in you. We want it stopped. Several business places have issued orders not to serve colored people, not hecause they object to colored trade, but because some lazy, trifling, thoughtless colored people who have more time than business, more gall than money or sense insists on hanging around and talking non- sense instead of waiting ’till closing hours to transact business. The colored places of business is especially eursed with this kind of junk. Restaurants, barber shops, and even undertaking parlors find it hard to rid themselves of this material, They wont take a hint. You can’t insult them and what is a busy man to do. The Colorado Statesman sees that these things are hurting us and we are going to help you to put an end to it. Cut this out and hang it up where all ean see it and put under it in great, big letters: ‘This means you. If you will send us the names of these intruders, hangers-on, day sleepers, we will mail them some printed matter. We are trying to help the merchants and protect the employes and save the race. { A NOTABLE GIFT, #% _ The present legislature of Kansas has just made an appropriation | of $27,700 to the Topeka Industrial Institute presided over by our well known friend, Professor William R. Carter. A short time ago we had the privilege of saying in this column that Mr. Andrew Carnegie, | the steel prince, had made a conditional offer of $5,000 for dormitory building to Professor Carter on condition that an additional $5,000 was raised by him. This gift by the legislature makes it possible for Professor Carter to receive Mr. Carnegie’s gift, also which brings the total up to $32,700. This handsome amount makes Professor Carter’s work permanent. ‘The school already possesses, clear of debt, 105 aeres of the best land in Shawnee county situated about two miles from Topeka on a nob overlooking the city. It is considered the best situation in the state for school purposes. ‘This institution is not more than ten years old, yet it has a creditable alumni and nearly a hundred students. It gives agricultural, industrial and normal courses | to colored youths, Its motto is, ‘To train workers to think, and thinkers to work.” I is known as the Tuskegee of the West and right well it deserves the name. Professor Carter is to be congratulated that this institution is now to be put on a permanent basis. Already six or eight Colorado students are pursuing studies there. If a schooi | of this kind was established in Colorado with the right kind of man at the head, Colorado millionaires, the most generous men in the world, would contribute handsomely to it. Colorado needs a Professor Carter. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Tt has been our object in writing upon this subject to so. vary our talks from week to week that they will not only be vital but timely and instructive. We want to call your attenion this week to savings. Not big savings but little ones. A little at a time, just one dollar a week; how to make it grow and double up. To all men who work for wages: their only hope for a peaceful old age free from money racking care is to provide before hand for the end. Don’t take risks, When a man on a salary speculates he stakes his family’s future and his own peace of mind against a few paltry dollars. ‘The odds are always against him. The risks that he takes is vastly disproportionate to any possible gain. ‘This is true of playing policy or chaneing the dice and cards. Few men ever heard of progressive compound interest and stiil fewer know what it does. Just one dollar deposited in a good savings bank (there are many sound banks) which pays four per cent, will amount to $2.19 in 20 years. This is simple compound interest, But how many men know that if they deposit $1.00 every year the value in 20 years will not be $20.00 plus $3.80 interest, but instead $30.97. This is progressive compound interest. Now any man or woman who is earning wages at all can save $1.00 a week. That money deposited in a savings bank for 20 years wil! amount to $1,612, a deposit of $5.00 a week will amount to over $8,000, on which the interest would be $320 annually. This man, after 20 years, could draw out $6.00 per week and still leave his family at his death all the money he deposited and more than half as much more. There is no paradox or eateh in this. It is a plain, mathematical statement of what any bank will do. Every wife should go over these figures for herself. They are accurate. ‘The only necessity is to make the deposits regularly. Tt takes time to make money in this way but the result is certain. All that is required is industry and a little self- denial. Tt pays better than any gold or copper mine or rubber farm, than any pool room, bueket shop or horse race, It beats policy and lot- tery all to hollow, besides it makes better men and citizens. Try it. JAPANESE COMING. ays interested and solicitious for th to the recent immigration of Jap: ready 1,200 Japanese in the ©.

There are already 1,200 Japanese in the G F. & I. employ at Pueblo. Last week 500 more came to the steel works and an addi- tional 700 are expected soon which will bring the total up to nearly 3,000 in this line of work alone. This is apart from the hundreds engaged by the railroad as section hands and roundhouse helpers, and separate from the still other hundreds coming to the city to enter domestic service. The Japanese invasion of Colorado is therefore no fallacy. hese workers come into direct competition with the Negre and it will be a question of economies whiéh of these two are the best, most industrious and faithful laborers. Which ever is the most profit- able to their employers will be retained, the other must go. The Negro needs to understand that from now on he must meet competition. ‘The days of careless, indifferent, shiftless work when you please regime are past. Work in the future, even in the lower walks, will be gauged, measured and balanced as it is in the higher seale and the man. class or race that produce the best labor in a given time will be preferred and hired. The days of grandfather pity, sympathy, charity and benevolence are gone. ‘Today the work as well as the mind is the measure of the man. The race will have to make good or backstep out of the way for better men. The students of public affairs and soci- ology are watching the issue and recording the facts and once the figures are put down there is no getting away from statistics, Again we call uplon the Negro® to watch your P’s and Q’s. The race is on industrial trial and the facts once established will mean much as to our future. Don’t lose your place in the industrial world. DENVER THE CONVENTION CITY. Denver is growing every way. It is getting bigger, more beautiful, more territory, more lights, more sites and sights, more buildings and more parks. It is a booster’s town. Eastern eapital is coming in all the time. Everybody is working to push the good times on, Colored people are buying more homes now than ever before and fixing up their premises with civie as well as personal pride. But we started out to call attention to Denver as a convention city. Thirty-two eonven- tions will be entertained in the Capital City this year and as many more may come. These conventions comprise almost every line of profession, business and relizion, and will bring into our city an aggre- gate of 100,000 people. ‘his, coupled with the summer tourists, will add another 75,000 to 100,000, which gives nearly 200,000 people annu- ally passing under our welcome arch. . When the new auditorium is completed the task of aceommodating conventions will be much easier and the attraction to be offered much greater, Byen the present thirty-two conventions will be a great com- mercial help to the city and as an advertisement of Denver will be incalculable. In addition many of these people will remain or go back home, sell out and return, hat is why Denver has grown in a few years from a village to a city over the 200,000 mark. We want to urge our colored people to grow with the town. Look for a big increase end prepare for it. Buy one house and then buy another one. Get one lot and then get some more.

The immovable hearts move the world. ‘The empty faith is usually made of sounding brass, The only work without honor is that which helps no one. One does not get wedded to truth by flirting with doubt. ‘The devil is always willing to play ead in a war of words, He is blessed with fortune who has Jearned to bear misfortune, A man who is honest for policy will be dishonest for promotion. ‘The losses of truth are more profit able than the gains of trickery.

Pretense is becoming so perfected and so general that if a por 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 it 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 and value of their gifts.

Béole All the Doctoce, “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 undenta- ble symptoms are rarely seen in com- bination and the state of his inner workings {s 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 Pald 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 it they wouldn't have to walk home it 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 fd that for,” commented one of the youthful cynics. “He's after your sister."—New York Press. Reasons Why Women Want the Right to Unte A ple should not disfranchise one-half of the people, and that the half which is likely to exert the greatest influence over the whole. An experienced teacher once said: “Give me the charge of a boy until he is seven years old, and I will ay for the direction of his life.” The women are necessarily th guardians and teachers of those early years which are ro20g- nized as of such vital importance in determining the future of man’s career. ‘The exercise of the suffrage in our country, though falling short of what we should desire and must hope to see it, yet does bring im- portant gain to the voters. ‘The wellbeing of each and all so depends upon the integrity and good character of those who are elected to the public service that large classes of men of small education and very restricted intelligence find themselves obliged to follow their best judgment in pro- rioting measures and candidaiures. ‘The importance of the training thus acquired to the men of a republic is hardly doubted to-day. Why should it* be-withheld from the women whose influence and instruction will largely influence the future of those men? Why do not American women need the same training in order to contribute the fullest aid in building up a community which shall prove itself to be just, orderly and law-abiding? It will be found upon inquiry that the women who are opposed to woman suffrage are often equally opposed to manhood suffrage as at pres- ent existing among us. If the considerations which they urge should come to prevail in our system of government, the domain of male suffrage would become more and more restricted, until we should cease to be a republic in anything but the name,,and should, perhaps, be content to resign that also. Why do men want the suffrage? They want it to insure the enact- ment and execution of just and equal laws. All men are interested in this. Why not all women? Is there any interest, personal or public, in which women have not an equal part with men? If you rob them, will they not starve? If you neglect them, will they not degenerate? Are men, taken haphazard, so just and generous that women ean intrust to them the protection of all that is dear to them without the safe- guard of established legal rights in the assertion and maintenance of which they shall have an equal part? History shows this not to have been the case. The savage man un- hesitatingly gives to the savage woman the position of a subject to his will and a minister to his pleasure. ‘The harems of the east to-day show us this state of things. Little by little, this extreme of tyranny has been outgrown by the nobler races. Christianity has placed men and women on the same spiritual level. Under its mild and merciful ministration the strong man has found himself obliged to recognize the rights of the weaker man. Society hae grown richer, not poorer, by what it has given. Now that women are no longer dwarfed by the want of education, now that they, equally with men, may attain a true understanding of what is just and proper in humane relations, now should they not earnestly desire to do their part in. upholding the principles and ordinances which they know to be essential to the permanent well being of anniake . 2. 2: 4... co LE oes continuous battle against microbes, the fight being of very unequal kind iu respect of the enormous advantages possessed by germs in the way of attack, and also by reason of the apparently weak defense we are enabled to make against theix onset. That the case, however, is not quite so des- perate as some would have us believe is by no means difficult to demon- strate. We are not, after all, in such a “parlous state” as the popular no- tions about microbes would have us believe. In the first place, there is no denying that the science of microbes has been directly instrumental in placing before us the direct cause of very many diseases, the origin whereof, in past days, was practically unknown.” That this discovery conferred an immense boon on humanity, who can doubt? Knowing the exact cause of fevers, consumption, and many other diseases, some’of them before regarded as practically of incurable nature, medical science is now prepared successfully to do battle with them. The open-air cure of consumption followed upon the discovery by Koch of the ' bacillus of the disease, and upon the study of its nature and development. ‘The anti-toxin treatment of diphtheria was similarly the direct result of the discovery of the germ of that disorder, and of its behavior when it was transmitted through the body of the horse. We have acquired a serum for the treatment of lockjaw, an essentially fatal trouble when left to ordinary methods of treatment. The long list of advantages which the study of microbes has conferred upon us might be indefinitely extended, but it may suffice for the present to remind ourselves of all that is meant by antiseptic surgery. Here, by taking precautions to exclude germs from wounds, operations of the great- est magnitude may be successfully performed—operations which in for- mer days were regarded as unjustifiable because of the risk of death from the after-consequences they entailed. So far, therefore, if the “ubiquitous microbe” presents itself as & constant theoretical terror to many of us, we » must correct our alarm by a glance at the reverse of the medal, and by thinking of the enormous saving of life which the recognition of the germ- theory of disease has effected. Again, when we hear people complaining of the teachings of science regarding germs, and the care we should exer-¥ cise regarding their possible attack upon us, we have to bear in mind that we are in no sense creating a new danger. Germs have ajways encor- passed us, and blindly enough in the past have we encountered them, not knowing of their existence, and so unable to devise means of defensee. Even if, to-day, the burden of bacilli seems too great to be borne, against possible and needless scare we have to set forth the knowledge concerning the prevention of disease such as has been placed within our grasp. Germs ax Sorial Hartors By Epenhe RESON: It cannot be denied that of late years the “ubiquitous germ” has come to exert a very im- portant influence in our social life.

The twelfth juryman was picked from among the spectators and when asked when he first heard of the case replied, “yester- day, on the street.” “What attracted you here today,” asked the district attorney. “I heard that there was a Negro lawyer going to defend Turner, and I never saw a Negro lawyer be- fore,” replied the prospective jury- man, Charles Hukill. “We will give you plenty of time to see and hear him,” replied the district attorney, and Hukill was accepted by both sides.

Service Tarrant, Highest Rated SHIP BLOWN UP TERRIBLE SCENES ON A FRENCH BATTLE SHIP, IENA. EXPLOSION IN THE MAGAZINE Several Officers and Eighty Men Killed, and Hundreds Wounded —Cause a Mystery. Toulon.—The powder magazines on board the French battleship Iena blew up at 1:35 Tuesday afternoon and as a result Captain Adigard, commander of the battleship, Captain Vertier, chief of staff of the Mediterranean squadron, and from seventy to eighty blue jackets are dead, while Rear Admiral Manceron and hundreds of men are suffering from injuries. Naval circles are aghast and the public is stunned by the appalling catastrophe, coming so soon after the loss of the French submarine boat Lutin, in which sixteen men were killed. The entire after part of the Iena was blown to pieces. The bodies of the victims were hurled through the air by a succession of explosions and panic-stricken workmen at the arsenal fled for their lives from the vicinity of the dry dock. Scores on board the Iena jumped overboard onto the stone quays and sustained serious injuries. The primary cause of the accident was the explosion of a torpedo. What originated this is not known, but the powder magazines were set on fire and the resulting explosions practically destroyed what was considered one of the best vessels in the French navy. The Iena had just undergone a final inspection of her hull and machinery, the latter part having been partly overhaulled preparatory to joining the squadron to-morrow. The crew was in its full strength, being composed of the rear adaline, twenty-four other officers and 630 men. The magazines had been replenished recently, and contained many tons of powder as well as a number of charges for torpedoes. The first shock of the explosion was extremely violent and shook the vessel fore and aft. It was followed instantly by other shocks. The crew rushed wildly about the dock. The men forward clambered over the bulwarks and jumped down, some of them into the dock and others to the stone quay, many being fatally hurt. The hundreds of men below deck were enshrouded in smoke, and while they groped their way toward the exits they became the prey of suffocating fumes which caused many of them to fall unconscious. Shells and charges of explosives in the magazines continued to explode, and masses of metal were hurled into the air and fell about the docks and arsenal. These flying missiles demolished the torpedo shed, the engine works and the pump house near by, and constituted a most serious menace to the lives of those who made their way toward the battleship to begin the work of rescue. The lena was afame from bursting projectiles, and the fire prevented approach. It is declared that for thirty minutes the authorities were unable to discover the keys with which to open the lockers to flood the dry dock and submerge the ship, but when they did finally open the locks the water rushed in on the lena and the explosions came to an end. Amidst masses of dense smoke the search for the dead and wounded began. The lower decks of the Iena were littered with fragments of shattered and torn bodies, while the surrounding water was dotted with human fragments. FEDERATION CASE DELAYED. Judge Bryan Calls Judge Woods to Try the Case. Boise, Idaho.—On the 12th, Charles H. Moyer, William D. Haywood and George A. Pettibone appeared in court at Caldwell in connection with the charge of murdering former Governor Frank Steunenberg. There were two motions to be argued, one for dismissal of the case, the other for a change of venue, but owing to the fact that the remittitif from the United States Supreme Court in the habeas corpus proceedings had not arrived, these arguments went over until next Monday. Judge E. L. Bryan, elected last fall to succeed Frank J. Smith, was on the bench when court opened. When the Steunenberg case was reached he said he had given careful attention to the question of his eligibility to sit in these cases, as he had been an attorney of record for Harry Orchard. Though it was a close point, the felt is better under the circumstances to refrain from acting and would therefore call in Judge Fremont Wood of Boise, judge of the Third district. There was no objection, and at the afternoon session Judge Wood was on the bench. Mr. Richardson withdrew the motion filed last spring to call a new judge. The defense wished to proceed with the argument of the two motions, but the prosecution preferred to await the arrival of the remittitur. Both were agreed that it was not absolutely essential, but Mr. Hawley and Senator Borah thought it would be in better form, and, as no time would be lost in any event, they urged that the arguments go over. Senator Borah explained that the remittitur had been mailed from Washington Monday, according to his advices. Stuvvesant Fish Goes to Gould. New York.—Wall street was made cognizant of a reallignment of railroad interests when the announcement was made that Stuyvesant Fish, until recently president of the Illinois Central Railroad Company, had cast in his fortunes with the Gould interest's and had been elected a director in the Missouri Pacific board. He will immediately become a member of the executive committee and of the chief advisers of George J. Gould in the development of the Missouri Pacific system, especially the low-grade line from St. Louis to New Orleans, which, under the direction of Mr. Fish, is expected to develop into a formidable rival of the Illinois Central. Explanation That Probably Did Not Satisfy Traveler. Before sailing for Egypt for the winter James Hazen Hyde said at a farewell dinner in New York: "The only drawback to a tropical winter is the flies. In the hot sun of a January day in Egypt, Morocco or Algeria the flies are an incredible pest. You see them in the corners of the eyes of native children and men lie asleep in sunny places with flies crawling over their lips. The natives don't mind the flies. In fact, they like them. At a boorj or native inn in the Sahara a traveler said to the waiter, pointing indignantly at his snow of barley and goat's flesh: "How comes this dead fly in my couscous?" "Monsieur,' replied the waiter, 'I can not tell you. Perhaps the fly had not eaten for many days and throwing himself ravenously on the cous-cous fed with too great heartiness, thereby contracting an inflammation of the stomach severe enough to cause death. The poor little thing can never have been strong. When I brought the cous-cous it was dancing and humming merrily on the surface. Perhaps—this idea has just presented itself to me—it endeavored to swallow too large a piece of meat. The morsel stuck in its windpipe. A terrific coughing fit, inaudible to our gross ears, ensued. Alas, soon all was over.' "The waiter wiped his eyes and said in a broken voice: "I can account in no other way for the poor creature's death." NOTHING HARD ABOUT IT. Man's Eloquent Prayer Really a Simple Proceeding. Josiah Main, a grandson of the first settled minister of Rochester, N. H., whose bronze statue adorns the central square of that thriving city, was a local character, celebrated for his wit and skill in argument, and as cunning in his speech as Jamie Soutar, the Drumtochty cynic. On one occasion a company had gathered at the popular grocery, among whom were Elder Runnals and 'Slah Main, and a bet of two quarts of rum was made as to who could pray the best, the elder or Main. All had taken several portions of rum or else it is hardly likely that the elder would have consented to join in the sacrilegious test. The elder prayed first, and his petition was so long, loud and fervent that a considerable crowd gathered before he finished. Then Main began and prayed with so much greater fervor and eloquence that he easily won the bet. The elder declared he didn't see how he did it. "Why," declared Main. "I began where you left off, and put in what you left out, and that's how I did it." FEW KNOW THIS. Gives Simple Home Prescription and Directions to Use.

TOOK LONG TO CONVINCE. Stubborn Youngster Finally Satisfied Mother Was in Earnest. A Brooklyn mother has solved the problem of the incorrigible youngster, says the New York Globe. She had long found it impossible to take her four-year-old girl with her into public places without discomfort and embarrassment. Being on an elevated train recently, she threatened to take the child out at the next station and spank her soundly in the waiting room. Defiance compelled this course. "Now, unless you behave, I'll whip you again at the next station and at every station until you do behave," was the mother's warning. The youngster, incredulous, continued in wrongdoing, the result being a spanking operation at each of a dozen stations before the bridge was reached. The child was convinced. "I've had no trouble with her in public since," said the mother. "It worked like a charm." Dog and Rabbit Are Friends A correspondent tells an interesting story of a friendship between a Scotch terrier and a hare at Dunfermline, Scotland. The pair occupy the same hutch and lie down side by side. The dog, evidently considering himself the guardian of his weaker companion, watches suspiciously the movements of any stranger who approaches too near. When the hare gets an outing in the garden the terrier remains in constant attendance, apparently to afford such protection as may be needed.

Burns, secretary of the organization, pointed out in a forceful address the manner in which California maintains a press bureau, has $750,000 in the bank for carrying on the immigration campaign of the coming year, and hires scores of experts to distribute information in every possible form, telling of the opportunities that California affords. The following pledges were announced: Albany hotel. $ 500 Walter S. Cheesman. 500 Greeley Commercial Club. 500 Denver Gas and Electric Co. 500 James D. and Raymond Husted. 500 W. E.

Great Demand for Money the Cause—Similar Results in Europe. New York—One of the worst waves of liquidation in many years, which was accomplished by violent bear operations, swept over Wall street Wednesday causing a shrinkage in market values in a single day of $300,000,000. There was no panic, as there were purchasers for every share sold, but the buyers of securities in the main were those who had previously sold them expecting to buy them back cheaper later, and this they did to-day. Wall street was not alone in the collapse of security values. Prices went to smash in several European money markets. In London, British consols, the world's premier security, sold down to 84%, the lowest price since 1866. Other gilt-edged British securities were also affected. Northern Pacific sold below any price within six years. Union Pacific lower than at any time since the declaration of its ten per cent, dividend, and Amalgamated Copper and United States Steel preferred sold below par. The 15th of the month calls for some large dividend payments and for stock and note subscriptions and it is supposed the banks were obliged to call loans to provide resources for impending requirements. Western railroad stocks were the weakest, but declines up to two points and over were generously obtained all through the list. JAPANESE SCHOOL QUESTION. San Francisco Board Rescinds Its Action. San Francisco.—The San Francisco Board of Education kept its word with President Roosevelt, unanimously rescinded the resolution of last October by which Japanese were segregated in the public schools and adopted an alternative resolution in accordance with the understanding reached at the Washington conference between the President, Secretary Root, the school board and Mayor Schmitz. The board then sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt and Hon. Ellhu Root, secretary of state: "At a regular meeting of the Board of Education, held this afternoon, a resolution as agreed upon with you was adopted unanimously, and a certified copy was given to United States District Attorney Devlin." The President having telegraphed Mayor Schmitz yesterday that he would direct Mr. Devlin to dismiss the suits against the board in the United States Circuit Court and the Supreme Court of California as soon as the action stated should be taken by the board, members of that body look upon the Japanese incident as now closed, insofar as San Francisco is concerned. There is, however, it is stated, an unwritten reservation to the effect that should the President's reciprocal promises to the board regarding discretionary restriction of coole immigration to California not be carried out, the board may feel at liberty to re-adopt the October resolution and again segregate the Japanese. Cure the Kidneys and the Pain Will Never Return. Only one sure way to cure an aching back. Cure the cause, the kidneys. Thousands tell of cures made by Doan's Kidney Pills. John C.

A spinster with money to burn recently paid $5,000 for a bulldog. A man in Massachusetts has just bought a cow for $8,000. Walter Garvey has a hog for which he refused a cash offer of $4,000. James Keene refused $200,000 for Sysonby, a race horse. There are several roosters of fashionable blood priced as high as $800 each. You can buy a fine lion for $300 and a tiger for $700. By and by we shall have a craze for breeding fishes, and a fine male salmon, educated to pond life, might be worth $1,000. The $8,000 cow has one calf a year, worth $4,000. The female salmon may become the mother of 300,000 little fellows in the same time, worth in the aggregate, possibly, as much as the calf.—N. Y. Press. Worth Knowing About. If you need a first-class laxative, there is nothing better nor safer than that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it a blood purifier of excellent character. If you are troubled with constipation, one pill at night will afford great relief. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated. Burro Drivers Carry Candles. In Mexico all vehicles, be they handcart, automobile, or anything between, must carry a light at night. This rule or law is rigidly enforced. Even the drivers of the poor little burro or mule carts, on their two wheels, must carry a light. So, rather than buy lanterns, which cost money, they take a dip candle, and wrapping it in a bit of newspaper to shield it from the wind, carry it in their left hand as they drive along homeward from work after evening has fallen. The effect is striking, as the light, falling strongly on the Indian driver, throws the face of the man into strong relief against the darkness. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Cultivating Belladonna. A manufacturing firm has a 15-acre belladonna garden in operation near New Brunswick. The farm is successful as far as the production of a pure drug is concerned, but it is not yet profitable enough financially to make many farmers abandon their garden truck and take to cultivating the deadly nightshade.—Country Life in America. A boy in overalls and a cap stands on a railway track, holding a long stick. It is good business to keep property "toned up." A coat of Pure White Lead Paint not only makes things look better and gives them a higher selling value, but it makes things wear better and gives them a higher value for long wear. Pure White Lead gives an opaque, durable coat that protects and preserves from the ravages of time and weather. mark which is found on the side of kegs containing only Pure White Lead, made by the Old Dutch Process.

That the cost of milk, and particularly cream, has advanced enormously since 1900 as the result of the curtailment of supply to the factories and the increasing market in the large cities is indicated in a census bulletin relative to the amount of butter, cheese, condensed milk, flour and grist mill products and starch for 1905. A substantial increase in the manufacture of all these products is shown since 1900 except starch, which declined markedly. Cost of cream increased 247.9 per cent., and milk, 3.7 per cent. How Much to Eat. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, is authority for the statement that every man eats every day "one per cent. of his weight in dry foods, and it requires 100 days for him to eat his own head off." If a man eats less, he will lose weight. Dr. Wiley asserts, and if he eats more he will gain, which will be good news to the fat who want to get thin, and the thin who want to get fat. Dr. Wiley adds that every person should consume four and one-half pounds of solids and liquids every day, but in doing the ordinary work of a government clerk this amount is above the average. It isn't always the people who jolly you most that are your best friends. Denver Directory THE FAMOUS J. H. WILSON STOCK SADDLES Ak your dealer for them. Take no other.

The women of Steamboat Springs nominated a municipal ticket which was endorsed by both political parties. Apricot trees are in bloom at Palisade. Three rose bushes at Florence have about 200 full-blown roses on them. Denver bricklayers have been granted a raise in wages of 50 cents a day, bringing the average daily pay up to $6.

The opening games will be played April 17th. Natives of Ohio now living in Colorado had a banquet at Denver the other night and afterwards organized a permanent society with Governor Buchtel as president. Ex-Governor Herrick was present. Mrs. W. S. Wylie, wife of the pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church at Evans, was seriously and perhaps fatally injured in a runaway in Greeley on the 2nd, by her buggy being upset. One of her lower limbs was broken and she also sustained several internal injuries. For selling liquor on the line of the Moffat road, now under construction near Toponas, in Routt county, Mrs. Hagerman has been arrested and heavily fined, a large stock of beer which she had in the cellar of her cabin, confiscated, and her cabin destroyed by dynamite. The Argentine Central railroad has practically been closed down for the balance of the winter. The heavy snowslides have resulted in its being found almost impossible to keep the tracks clear, while the cost of running the trains has been unusually heavy. William Wambaugh, a wealthy farmer who recently went from Colorado to Chicago, was roped in by Sophie Finlen while en route. They were married at Chicago in spite of the opposition of the police, and now the woman has disappeared with $5,000 of Wambaugh's money. At an election of officers for the ensuing year, held by delegates to the Western Bowling Congress at Denver on the 11th, Alderman Andy T. Stahl was unanimously elected president. The other officers elected are: M. J. Sheehan of Butte, first vice president; L. C. Keating of Portland, second vice president; N. B. Allen of Seattle, third vice president; W. S. Zehring of Salt Lake, secretary and treasurer. A Kansas City syndicate, headed by R. J. Martin, has purchased a tract of 170,000 acres in the San Luis valley from Gen. William J. Palmer for $500,000. The company will erect a $1,100,000 beet sugar factory at Fort Garland. The land acquired will be cultivated for beets, and it is proposed to operate a factory with a capacity of 1,000 tons of beets daily. A colonization scheme and big irrigation project are contemplated in the plans of the company. Joseph A. Milner, familiarly known to railroad men throughout the West as "Governor Joe" Milner, died on the 11th at Denver, from an attack of neuralgia of the heart, after an illness lasting six weeks. "Governor" Milner was for twenty-six years city passenger agent of the Burlington route, coming to Denver in 1881, the year before the Burlington built into this city, as the representative of the road. He had been here many years before that, however. The Canon City high school cadets will go on a week's outing during the vacation from March 25th to April 1st. Forty members of the high school will participate in the tramp. They will go into camp for three days on Eight Mile park, near the top of the Royal gorge. The second camp will be located in Webster park, near Parkdale, and the return trip will be made by the way of Grape creek. The boys will follow army life and discipline during the encampment. R. K. Schuyler of Colorado Springs has filed a map for a mesa canal and series of storage reservoirs to irrigate a large tract of semi-arid land on the north side of the Arkansas river in Fremont and Pueblo counties, and will have a carrying capacity of 750 cubic feet of water per second. A chain of eighteen reservoirs are contemplated with an aggregate capacity of 10,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. The estimated cost of the canal is $500,000, with $2,000,000 for the eighteen reservoirs. Municipal ownership of public utilities, in effect, if not in reality, will be put in operation at Morrison by John Brisben Walker, who is gradually building up an extensive and attractive resort. Walker has large landed interests not only in Denver, but in the vicinity of Morrison. To protect them Mr. Walker has purchased the water and electric lighting plants of the town. He has announced that he will operate these utilities with the idea of making them merely self-supporting, and will turn over to Morrison the profits from both concerns. These will be transferred to the town either in cash or invested for its benefit in improvements and extensions of the water and light systems. The railroads of Colorado paid into the state treasury as taxes last year $1,369,047. The total mileage operated in the state is 5,371, which made the average tax per mile of main track, $277. The report of the State Board of Equalization for 1906 contains these facts: The Santa Fe paid $154,833 taxes, an average per mile of $381; the Burlington paid $73,019, per mile, $417; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, $46,550, per mile, $263; Colorado and Southern, $179,121, per mile, $220; Colorado Midland, $68,328, per mile, $247; Moffat road, $8,435, per mile, $115; Denver and Rio Grande, $424,479, per mile, $291; Union Pacific, $155,047, per mile, $327. The assessment of all companies, railway, telephone and telegraph, coming under the jurisdiction of the board for 1906, was: $51,370,254. VALUABLE FORMULA VALUABLE FORMULA WELL-KNOWN AUTHORITY CLAIMS IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE. Says It Will Break Up a Cold in 24 Hours and Cure Any Cough That Is Curable—Inexpensive. A noted authority on diseases of the throat and lungs, 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 his entire treatment consisted of fresh air, nourishing food and the Pure Virgin Oil of the White Pine Trees mixed with Whisky and Glycerine, in the following proportions: Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)... 1/2 oz. Glycerine .. 2 " Good Whisky .. 4 " Used in teaspoonful doses every four hours. It is claimed that the above mixture 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 good prescription druggist at small cost and can be easily mixed in your own home. Inquiry at the prescription department of a leading local pharmacy elicited the information that Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up only in half-ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case with engraved wrapper with the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure); guaranteed under the Food and Drug Act, June 30, 1906.

HARKER ACTED IN HASTE. Man Who Came to "Start Something" Was All Right. Harker was in a fierce humor the other morning when the front door opened and in walked a stranger unannounced. "I came," began the stranger, taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves. "What!" thundered Harker. "You didn't come in here to start anything, did you? "I did," replied the stranger, coolly, "I—" But he got no further. With a savage whoop Harker grabbed the intruder around the waist and deposited him on the sidewalk. Two hours later his wife returned. "William," said she, "was there anyone here during my absence? "Yes," snorted Harker, "there was some lunatic here who said he came to start momething, but I just bundled him out on the sidewalk before he had time to make a move." "William, you are the biggest goose in town!" "In what way?" "Why, the man came to start the clock that hasn't been running for a week. He is a clocksmith." Matrimonial Infelicity. Divorces are, happily, rare in society circles. Separation by mutual consent, however, grows more frequent every year. Every one has upon his or her visiting list husbands and wives who never meet if they can help it, but between whom there has never been an open breach. Incompatibility of temper is the usual cause, and the reason for that is, one imagines, the still common custom of encouraging the younger generation to marry before they have begun to approach years of discretion.—London Throne. He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.—Bacon. THE WHOLE FAMILY. Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups and Children as Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commodity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up children, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspeptic. A Phila, lady, after being benefited herself persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on, I had to be careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me, seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition—his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-nuts, and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old, do not want anything else for breakfast but Grape-Nuts, and more healthy children cannot be found." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Whipple of the Second Massachusetts regiment, a veteran of the civil war, hastened to Washington when the Spanish war broke out and offered his services to President McKinley. But all officers, as well as men, had to undergo a physical examination, and it was stated to Maj. Whipple that he would have to place himself in the hands of the examining doctors at Worcester. Now, Maj. Whipple, while a man of great bodily strength and perfect health and activity, was a little deficient in the matter of teeth. An examining surgeon proposed to exclude him on that account. Whereupon the major waxed wroth. "Gentlemen," said he, "I'm going to Cuba to shoot Spaniards, not to eat 'em!" The major went.—Harper's Weekly. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly; but it did her a sight of good. Then we complied with the instructions in using the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. God bless you for the sake of suffering humanity. I. M.

When Bishop Talbot, now of the central Pennsylvania diocese, was "the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and Wyoming he never overlooked an opportunity of securing contributions for the missionary work in which he took each delight. On one occasion, while attending a meeting of church dignitaries in St. Paul, he was chatting with some other clergymen on the steps of his hotel when several hoboes came along. One of them approached and asked for aid. Bishop Talbot took him aside and after a short but earnest conversation the other tramps saw something pass from hand to hand. "What did he give you?" asked the other hoboes when they all started away. "Didn't give me nothing," was the disgusted reply. "I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral in Laramie."

He wrote: "I was persuaded that a truly sincere mind could be at no loss to discern the just limits between a safe and competent portion and a dangerous profusion of the good things of life. "These views of the subject I reduced to practice, and terminated my mercantile concerns when I had acquired a moderate competency."

There is no more perplexing trouble for a physician to treat than debility cases, especially in women, in which there is no acute disease but in which the patient every day sinks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experiments. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore health under these conditions is no speculation but the fact has been proved in hundreds of cases similar to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1008 St. John St. Litchfield, Ill. She says "I never felt well after my first child was born. I had a gnawing pain in my stomach and could not hold any food down. My head aced a great deal and sometimes the pain went all through my body. I had dizzy spells so that I could not stand and seemed to be half blinded with pain. These spells would often last for over an hour. My blood seemed to be in a very poor condition and my hands and feet were like ice. I seemed to be growing weaker and weaker and could not get around to do my work in the house. I was extremely nervous and the least excitement would bring on a dizzy spell. "For a number of years I was under a doctor's care but seemed to get no better. I had heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began to take them. I soon felt better and gained in weight and strength. My nerves are strong now and I am a well woman in every way."

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- A TRIFLES OF THE WARDROBE Fashion is called fickle for more than alliteration's sake. She has all the feminine fallings—or what are known as such. Inconsequence, love of change, lack of humor, all that goes to the making of the eternal feminine. Over these the world has theorized for ages past, and always will. Till the last day, both woman and fashion will be denounced for their whims and moods, for it is possible in life to live down everything, even a crime, but a theory—never. Variety is not wanting in the new fashions. The very short bolero is worn over a high Empire belt, but most popular of all are the coatlets with tiny basques. At present, everything is supposed to have a basque, and the long, tight-fitting coats are still quite in fashion. The short fur bolero with pointed front and back reaching to the waist-line is quite out of favor; but we are still wearing loose, short, sleeveless boleros of fur, and the daintiest of cape boleros with a frilled sleeve made in fur or in velvet. Stripes are quite as fashionable, if not more so, than ever. They take the form of black hair-line tartan or tweed fabrics. Striped also are our evening gowns, of silver and white, or colored gauze, with a deep hem of satin or chine Pompadeour ribbon at the hem. This is headed by repousse embroidery of silver spangles. Most of the trimmings are padded and en relief. Princess gowns are entirely spangled in gold or silver or jet. The mother-of-pearl spangles are not so much in favor as last year. They have been found to prove hard and unbecoming. The dressing sacques are an important part of a woman's wardrobe and the protter the cloth and the more exquisite the design the more will the comfort be which the wearer will secure from its possession for what woman is there who can feel really happy in a garment which is not pretty and becoming. A new cloth, "viveila," is a perfect material for anything in the way of dressing gowns, as it is soft and warm and absolutely refuses to shrink when it is washed. It comes in a variety of pretty patterns and colorings, though of course only the plain white and ivory would Charming Dressing Sacque. be used in making night dresses. The dressing sacque shown in our illustration is made of the figured goods, and is trimmed with soft silk to match the color of the spots in the goods. The waist belt is also of the same material. There has always seemed to me to be a strange contrast between the pains a woman takes to look her best when she faces the world, and her indifference about her appearance when in her bedroom. Every cool For young girls, the most delightful ribbon arrangements are being designed on tulle or tartatan skirts, the narrow satin ribbons forming a trellis work or crossbar design. The bodices are trimmed with bretelles made in the same way. We are now following the foreign fashion of wearing muslin or thin silk blouses under our fur coats, and such is the incongruity of fashion that fur and winter coats alone give the impression of mid-winter. The very latest idea for smart wear is to have the bodices as filmsy as possible. Let us take, for instance, a dress of satin-faced crepe-de-Chine, in color of a soft brownish moss-green. A wide transparent insertion of lace (thick gulpure) of the same color trims the skirt, which is very close at the top and wide at the foot. The blouse bodice will be of green (crimped) chiffon over silk, with a yoke and trimming of the green lace. One startling fact in the world of fashion is to be recorded. We are going to have yet another "new figure:" waists are being made short at the back and very long in front, so much so that many bodices and coats in the best West-End houses show quite an Empire back. Corsets, too, will follow suit. This is a very useful fashion for women with thick waists, but for a perfect line of back, nothing can touch the Princess gown. We are paying more attention than ever the lines of the figure, and petticoats are said to be going out. They are made of the most transparent material, and very much befrilled at the foot. and tress must be in its right place outside the sanctuary, but within, a head something between that of a squaw or of Struwelpeter is what is probably to be found, reposing among lace-edged sheets and pillows in the early morning. Now it is not right that a pretty woman should ever abdicate the throne of her beauty. There is nothing so ugly as a tangled, unkempt head after a night's tumbling about on a pillow; but thanks to the incoming night caps none need present that appearance nowadays. One exquisite little cap we saw the other day was of fine lace embroidered with the daintest of tiny ribbons in the form of flowers and leaves in pale pink and pale blue. A band of lace was loose from the main part of the cape, and came low over the forehead, with a tuft of curls pulled out between. A second cap was what might be called the "revised Dutch" cap, a sort of glorified "mob" of finest muslin with square pieces at the side, and hanging full at the back of the neck. There were square insertions of embroidery on the side-pieces which framed the face in the most becoming way, and the cap was edged all around with Valenciennes lace, while a blue ribbon was tied in bows at either side. A third cap was a Belgian shape with quaint rounded pieces of broderie Anglaise over the ears, edged with Valenciennes; a round piece of the broderie, threaded with narrow ribbon, formed the crown of the cap at the back, while a wide ribbon passed under the sides and was tied in a big bow across the front. Slaughter of Robins. In central Tennessee are large tracts of cedars, the berries of which serve to attract myriads of robins in the winter. One small hamlet in this region sends to market annually enough robins to return $500 at five cents a dozen, equal to 120,000 birds. They are killed at night by torchlight and with sticks.

CLARK: 2317-19 Larimer Street Delicious Raisin Dessert and Substitute for Cranberry Sauce. Glaced raisins are a Russian sweet which makes a delicious dessert. Take two large or three smaller perfect branches of malaga raisins, pour hot water on them to soften them for ten minutes, wipe and lay aside. Peel four or five sharp, sweet best apples, cut them into six or eight sections, according to size, and lay them in a neat fashion close together in a slightly baking dish, about one and one-half inches high. With the raisins add a quarter of a cup of cold water. Over this sprinkle a handful of brown sugar, but no spices and no butter. Put in a brisk oven for 20 minutes and then cover with apple juice or brown sugar and water. Instead of cranberry sauce or jelly, cranberry sherbet is recommended to serve with turkey. A pint of water and a pound of sugar to each pint of juice should be frozen in the usual manner; when partly done, stir in the whipped white of one egg for each pint of juice; finish freezing, then add a cupful of chopped crystallized fruit softened by previous soaking; repack the freezer, and let stand for an hour to harden. Try baking cranberries instead of boiling them. To a quart of berries add two cupfuls of sugar. Do not use any water, and bake in a quick oven until thoroughly soft. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Two tablespoonfuls of strong clear coffee added to meat gravies imparts a rich color and fine flavor. The coffee should be added just before removing from the fire. In steaming dumplings or puddings a cloth should first be placed over the steamer before the lid is put on. It prevents moisture from setting and insures light puffy dumplings. The rustiest iron sink in existence will yield to a bath of kerosene. Rub it into the entire surface, let it remain for a few hours, then wash in soap and water. Housekeepers know how quickly lemons lose their freshness and dry or else decay. A simple remedy is to place them in a jar filled with water, the water to be renewed every day or two. By this means this perishable fruit can be kept fresh and sound for several weeks. Care of Umbrellas It is at the joints that umbrellas break first, and it is scarcely surprising, for they are never oiled, and yet are expected to work smoothly and respond easily to the most sudden act of opening. Most people after using an umbrella on a wet day, even if they do carefully dry it, regard any further process as needless; but there are other means of lengthening their term of usefulness. To preserve an umbrella and obtain the best possible use out of it, the joints should be carefully oiled with paraffin or kerosene oil, to clean off any possible rust, just as in the case of a bicycle, and then be "touched" with lubricating oil to make them work easily. Thus cared for, the framework will last in excellent order with ordinary use almost indefinitely. Cherries in Jelly. To make the cherries in jelly, drain the syrup from a can of red cherries, heat and pour over two tablespoonfuls of gelatine that has been dissolved in a little cold water, allowing a pint and a half of liquid to two tablespoonfuls gelatine. Strain the mixture into a ring mould and set aside to harden. Do this the day before you wish to serve it. When ready to put on table, turn out on a low glass dish, fill the center with cherries from which the pits have been removed, sweeten slightly if necessary and cover lightly with mounds of whipped cream. If preferred, you may use some of the quickly prepared jellies now in the market, selecting the cherry flavor. Follow directions on the package, but as the jelly begins to "set," drop in Maraschino or preserved cherries. Serve with whipped cream. To Take Out Tea Stains If a tablecloth has been stained by tea or coffee it should be removed as soon as possible and the stained portion placed to soak in lukewarm water. It should then be wrung out, and the cloth laid flat on a deal table or other unpolished surface, the stains being gone over with a piece of sponge dipped in glycerine. If finally washed in a cold, soapy lather, the damped part may be dried and the cloth used once more before sending it to the laundry, the want of gloss in the washed portion being hardly noticeable. Bright Tinware If new tinware be rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used, it will never rust afterwards, no matter how much it is put in water. For stained tinware borax produces the best results. If a teapot or coffee pot is discolored on the inside, boll it in a strong solution of borax for a short time, and all its brightness will return. Mending Broken Corset: The nicest way to mend a broken corset stay, or a stay in a corset that has pierced through the casing at the top or bottom of the corset, is to bind the top of the stay, or where it may be broken, with a small piece of chamois skin. In fitting a coat and jacket fit upward from the waist line, as in fitting a bodice.
