Building. John D. Twenty-five Thousand Special to Colorado Statesman: Among the worlds forces for the betterment of a common humanity the Y. M. C. A. idea has grown to be second only to that of the Christian church itself. Broad, liberal and catholic in the spirit of its conceptions it invites the support of humanity at large and places its benefits and advantages within the reach of all, regardless of creed or race. The great strength of the Y. M. C. A. idea lies in the vital hold it has upon the inclinations and affections of the young manhood of any country. Its principles of helpfulness and a deep seated desire to extend sympathy and practical aid at a period of life when influences are most potent to direct the youthful talent and energy along lines that are useful, worthy and renumerative, are among its functions, which if no other benefits accrued, would alone justify its existence. When consideration is given the many other advantages it has to offer, the healthful, uplifting association; the entire absence of corrupting influences; its advocacy of all properly healthful and manly athletics and more than all the full and free effacement of self and the desire for broader, nobler and better lives which is sure to come to those who breathe its atmosphere such associations have assuredly stamped themselves upon our times as both a necessity and blessing to any community. Perhaps there is no other city in America, where conditions are so favorable to the successful establishing and maintaining of "an up to the minute" Y. M. C. A. for colored men, as Washington. The men to be reached are here in large numbers. The earnings of these men are of such proportions as to permit of their setting aside a liberal percentage for the support of the cause; Their training, intelligence and strong moral incentive and all potent factors and furnish splendid material for a foundation upon which to rest an imposing superstructure for association work. The Y. M. C. A idea for colored men, which enjoyed a brief practical prosperity here a dozen or more years ago and has since rested in somnolent ease, was thoroughly revived a couple of years ago and has recently shown signs of active vigorous and enduring life. --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK COLORA News. y t Thousand Dollar Negro Y. M. Rockerfeller has Donated Dollars to the Fund. It is proposed to build a $50,000 home for the Association and half of this cost has been donated by Mr. Rockefeller, the condition being that the other $25,000 shall be raised by July of this year. The fact that more than a 1000 men attended the regular Sunday meeting on the 17th inst., on which occasion the President of the Board of Commissioners for the District, the Hon. H. B. F. McFarland was the speaker, will show how deep an interest the men of Washington are taking in this movement. Dr. F. J. Shadd of Howard University presided. Dr. Shadd is a recent convert to the Y. M. C. A. and in a brief, felicitous speech pledged his efforts and a portion of his time and money to the work. Other features of the meeting were singing by the famous Temple Quartet, Messrs Joseph Wilson, DeWit Wilson, Wm. Carter and Wm. Cooper also several violin performances in the usual refined and artistic manner of Clarence Cameron White. Mr. McFarlands' address was a common sense, practical, heart to heart talk, which was highly appreciated. In speaking of the proposed building he said "It will stand out before the eyes of the whole country as your achievement in the National Capital and with the eyes of all men upon it, everywhere in every city and town and village throughout the country, it will say that many of the charges made against your people are nothing more than lies. It will represent pour thrift and industry; it will represent your 'generosity, your public spirit, your civic pride and above all it will represent your religious devotion. In this connection the speaker pointed to the fact there were a great number of colored men who had accumulated property and who were able to contribute gererously to this worthy cause and that it was their duty to do so. Mr. McFarland might have emphasized this in the most positive way, for in no other one essential of progress is the Negro so backward, than in the inclination to contribute of his means for the benefit of a worthy cause or individual. They will fall over each other to place their names to a petition reciting grievances or a series of resolutions couched in pompous phrase (which accomplish nothing) but ask them to chip in to purchase a scholarship for some struggling Negro genius or to establish a needed industry for the commercial development and independence of the Negro and they straightway take to the tall timber. Mr. McFarland followed the practical remarks on the building project with an address on "Tne Victorious Life" which was a lofty and beautiful dissertation upon the higher moral and religious duties and the hopes and fears, the struggles and disappointments and soulful vigilance necessary to maintain the forward and upward movement towards a pure and noble life. The work of organization and preparation for the extensive campaign which it is proposed to conduct to accomplish the purpose of the movement is in the capable hands of Mr. J. E. Moorland, who has had extensive experience and has been highly successful elsewhere and it is safe to predict the very best results. Mr. Moorlands plans are already well matured and an active, aggressive canvass for the building fund is now in progress and through an earnest and energetic corps of assistants, no helpful influence will be overlooked in attaining the desired end. JOHN H. PAYNTER. PARIS ASTONISHED BY MADAME HACKLEY. Paris, France, March 13.—Of the many foreign students who have come here to study, perhaps none of them have ever accomplished more than Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, of Philadelphia Pa., who came here a little over a year ago a perfect stranger, and unable to speak our native language. During that time she has studied under three of our greatest masters and repetiteurs and teachers of diction. She had been here but a very short time when she had won the admiration and esteem of the entire class, and her unusual sweet and flexible voice, quick conception of music and aimable disposition soon placed her in a position where all students looked to her as an authority to solve all difficult musical problems. She was selected to lead the choral class of the Holy Trinity Lodge (a parish house for English speaking women.) The class is the most enthusiastic class here and is composed of students representing nearly every country, therefore it may be truly called a "Universal Class." Last June she was engaged for the year beginning in September to lead singing in the St. Luke's Episcopal Church, which is the only American church in Paris, as well as teach the Sunday School their songs. Immediately upon her removal to the Students "Quartier" (where she was practically unknown before) the many students requested her to give them lessons and in October, one month later, she was giving eleven lessons a week at advanced prices. She finally opened a Studio, and has had as pupils a number from Australia, Canada, England, Germany and several from the United States who were teachers. She is the Soprano Soloist at the Holy Trinity Lodge every fourth Sunday, and accompanist for the Wednesday evening Musicales when different artists contribute services. Mme. Hackley has sung at several Soirees and concerts among the French and Americans and has received all the honors that could be given an artist. At one concert at Sale Eylou last month she was the star of the evening the large audience persisted in its cries of "bis" (again) until she was compelled to repeat "Henschels Spring" before permitted to sing the second number of a group One of the soloists, a Russian soprano, of Theatre Royal de la Monnaie was so charmed with "Spring" that she immediately engaged Mme. Hackley to teach her to sing it as she had sung it. Mme. Hackley was also honored by being selected to represent the English language at the opening concert of the society for the Propogation of Foreign Languages in France. Speaking of her work at this concert the French Bulletin says: "C'est ainsi que nous Pumes applaudis Mme. Hackley, une coulurice Americaine dont la voix prussante et harmonieue syrena dans la perfection les notes d'un air populaire aux Etats-Tnis, Staccato Palka, de R. Mulder, au les airs d'une simplicite Baytivante de de vielles chansons d'esclaves Negres." Translated will read as follows: It was our privilege to hear and applaud Mme. Hackley, an American Cautatrice, whose powerful melodious voice poured out in perfect tones in a selection popular in the United States/ "The Staccato Polka" by R. Mulder, and in captivating simplicity the old Negro Slave songs. March 3, when the Holy Trinity Choral Class rendered Gallia, she received many congratulations for their good singing and her most excellent teaching. Mme. Hackley has been in poor health since she arrived here and has been compelled to cancel several engagements, like other Americans it is hard for her to get acclimated, the continual rainy weather is very unfortunate to foreigners, particularly Americans. She has lost considerable flesh, but does not give up as she is determined, to complete her work before she returns to the United States next fall. MAURICE ROSSEAU. New Thought A Review of the Various Topics Showing the Unestimated Advantages to be Gained by the Their Study. In previous articles on this subject we have spoken on "What is New Thought?" the various New Thought schools, and last week our subject dealt with "The Approach to New Thought consciousness." We come now to speak on the potentiality and value of New Thought truth to each individual. We would advise that you first review each one of the preceding articles and then carefully read this one. What is the value of New Thought knowledge to the individual who gives his time and efforts to possess it? The reply would be in general terms there is no value by which to compare let alone to estimate it. The value of New Thought truth cannot be reduced to terms of figures or computation but we shall try to simply enumerate a few of the relative values. First, In regards to health New Thought knowledge teaches the perfect laws in regards to anatomy, physiology, functions, hygiene, food, care, rest and work and in this knowledge alone one is profited a thousand fold. Many of the ailments, physical disabilities and troubles of humanity would be removed by an intelligent and comprehensive grasp of New Tought teachings in regards to health. Doctors bills would be saved and happiness would respond to the individual. 2nd The intellectual benefit to be derived from New Thought would be a great blessing to people who read and study. The Great Paul speaks of a certain class who are "ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." This class has not decreased in our day but if anything has multiplied. Many people have knowledge and facts, an abundance of both, but have not got their knowledge systemized and arranged so that it may be handled at a moments notice New Thought has its foundation in an orderly, natural and regular unfoldment of the mind and therefore our harmonic and constructive arrangement of the mind. In this alone New Thought offers a world of advantage for our present possession of acquired information and prepares the way for a logical and comprehensive addition and assimilation of new learning. It makes new learning easy and pleasant because it makes it possible and profitable. NO. 27. Third. The scientific value of New Thought has a world of value, for it is an acquaintance with the laws that govern all phenomena. It discovers not only appearance but causes and shows their action and interaction and reaction one upon another on the onward march of unfolding and development. Fourth. The value of New Thought to the student of philosophy cannot help to be of the first importance. The student of causes is always asking why such a thing is so and so, this way or that. New thought answers his inquiries by showing that all things proceed from one great and efficient cause and when this ultimate cause known all things may be traced to their origin or genesis and from their source follow out through all of their ramifications to their latest effect or result. This power alone to the thinker of truth has no comparison in value. Fifth. Value of New Thought is its psychic value. Here lies a realm of truth and facts that has not been touched but by few scholars. The psychic phenomena has been the mystery of ages. People who do not understand this department of knowledge have looked upon its devotees and disciples as mystics, necromancers, witches, enchantresses, a class or sect to be avoided and despised, not knowing that here lies a realm of knowledge as real and useful as the knowledge of the physical world with which they are so well acquainted. What seems to them a mystery is to the student of New Thought, a fact as plain and intellegible as any of the ordinary facts of the material world. Only space forbids us of enumerating the investigations and analysis of psychic phenomena which New Thought so clearly unfolds and explains. Last but not least, New Thought throws a radiant light on the religious and spiritual life of each individual. Religion an experience, a new birth, but very few have any idea as to how this relationship of the soul comes into contact and apprehends spiritual reality and possess itself of spiritual knowledge and joy of fullness and fruit, of power and peace. New Thought prepares the way for a comprehensive study of the whole question of spiritual life and its unfoldment. It causes the spiritual The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

THOUSANDS OF ACRES TO BE UTILIZED FOR FARMING. $1,000,000 WILL BE SPENT A Monster Project That Means the Development of An Immense Area of Fertile Land. Denver.—The White Bear country, in Routt and Rio Blanco counties, will be converted into a vast cattle producing district by James D. Husted, W. E. Skinner, who represents the packing trust in the West, and other wealthy men. One million dollars will be spent in purchasing ranch lands and providing means of irrigation. The White Bear Land and Cattle Company has been incorporated for the purpose of carrying out the plans of the stockmen. Twenty thousand acres of ranch lands have either been purchased or options have been taken on them, and representatives of the company are taking up more land. From 10,000 to 12,000 head of cattle will be run between the Bear river and the White river, in the White Bear country. The White Bear country extends over nearly all of Rio Blanco county and over half of Routt county. Although some settlers have been ranching there for years, the country is practically a wilderness. This is due to the fact that the Denver & Rio Grande railways runs to the south of the district, and the Union Pacific to the north in Wyoming. Natural barriers between the district and the railroads have prevented its development. The Moffat road will extend directly through the White Bear country, and it will in all probability be densely settled within the next few years. Within a year it is expected that the Moffat road will have penetrated most of the district. Among the properties purchased by the White Bear Land and Cattle Company is the lower ranch belonging to the Carey brothers. This property cost $100,000. Other ranches along both the Bear and White rivers have been purchased. The live stock will not be permitted to graze during the cold season. One of the ranches is at Lilly, and another at Mabell on the Bear river, and one is above Meeker and two below that place on the White river. There is plenty of good grazing land between the two rivers in the White Bear country. This is one part of Colorado that has not been overgrazed. James D. Husted and his associates have taken up most of the water rights in the White Bear country, and by that means will have almost absolute control of the district. The water supply controls the lands of any territory. Baron Woldenmar Uxkull, a Russian baron, is interested in the company. The baron is extremely wealthy. William E. Skinner, the western representative of the National Packing Company, is one of the directors of the company, and it is presumed that the big packers are financially interested in the scheme, as all the stock will be marketed in Denver. Other stockholders are Raymond S. Husted, Claude W. Fairchild, Thomas H. Dunsmore, W. Converse, Charles H. Kittredge, H. L. Shepherd and John H. Morse. This is one of the numerous projects which are being developed in Roult and Rio Blanco counties, due to the fact that the Moffat road is being built through the northwestern part of the state. Coal and copper will be mined in Roult county, oil fields at Rangely in Rio Blanco county will be developed, and the live stock and other industries will add to the prosperity of that section of Colorado. Strike Seems Unavoidable. Chicago.—It looks as if a strike was certain. All negotiations between railroad managers and employees ended at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when the joint session ended. According to the present plan the delegates will not meet again. The union delegates will meet to decide what action they will take. These have been instructed by a referendum vote to call a strike if they doom it proper. Grand Master Morrissey of the Trainmen, before going into conference, said: "Negotiations have failed. We will not meet the managers again. I cannot, at this time, say whether we will strike, but the outlook is very dark. The managers refused to concede any more than they offered at first. The unions had rejected this offer. The roads wanted us to arbitrate. We refused. It is improbable that the strike will be called immediately." Railway systems involved, forty.

Jay, secretary of the American embassy, leaves soon for Bagdad, in Asiatic Turkey, "to inspect the Bagdad railway, designed to connect the Mediterranean with the Persian gulf." Germany is doing the work. Jay will inspect and report upon the Kaiser's political activity to Washington. London.—It is believed here that Germany's designs on the Persian gulf, through the Bagdad railway, will soon threaten the world's peace, and that Jay's mission is more important than one of inspection, the President wanting first-hand information of the progress of events promising to become of vital importance.

TO PROBE FRAUD COAL AND TIMBER THIEVES TO BE HUNTED DOWN BY GOV- ERNMENT SLEUTHS. STARTLING DISCLOSURES Colorado is to be Freed from Frauds That Retard Progress of the Western Spirit. Denver.—That Colorado is to become the storm center of fraud investigation by the federal government is indicated by the action of the department of justice at Washington in organizing a corps of special assistant attorneys general to aid in the work of ferreting out and prosecuting violators of federal laws. For months rumors of fraudulent coal, timber and mineral land entries in Colorado and other western states have been countless. That the federal government plans aggressive action is manifest. That it may result in exposures so startling as to shake more than one western community from center to circumference seems certain. General M. C. Burch, special assistant United States attorney general, has been located in Denver for several months. It has been learned that he was sent out by the department to organize a corps of assistants in preparation for the important prosecutions to be undertaken. He has had offices in the Equitable building, this city. The assistants chosen by Mr. Burch include Ernest Knaebel, Denver; F. A. Maynard, Salt Lake City; S. R. Rush, Omaha; E. H. Long, Durango, Colorado; and H. H. Schwartz, Helena, Montana. General Burch will have his headquarters in Denver and will direct the Investigations from this city. Oklahoma and Indian Territory alone are excepted from this arrangement, as they are under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. Every western state will come under this thorough investigation planned. Sporadic investigations of coal land frauds in Las Animas and Huerrano counties, in this state, have been numerous and equally unfruitful. It is proposed to again go over the ground covered by previous investigations, which were not thorough. The many entries made on Routt county lands within recent years will be investigated also. It is surmised that the methods whereby certain companies secured large tracts of valuable mineral bearing lands in the vicinity of the Uintah Indian reservation will come under the searchlight of federal investigation also. Recently an investigation of alleged coal land frauds, held at Salt Lake City, was productive of several sensations, and men well known in Utah and Colorado were indicted. However, that investigation was on a much smaller scale than the one to follow the selection of a special corps of men who will assist the federal government in learning to just what extent it has been defrauded by men and interests intent on getting portions of the public domain. From Washington came the announcement that Harry H. Schwartz had been appointed chief of the special field service division of the General Land Office. It is surmised that in company with General Burch he will initiate the proceedings in each state in which they are started. Mr. Knaebel, who is assistant United States district attorney for Colorado, did not care to discuss the plans of the federal government. Earlier investigations, however, indicate that more than one large fuel corporation in Colorado is likely to be involved in the investigations conducted in this state. The use of "dummies" in securing coal lands, filings on coal lands as agricultural lands, and other evasions of federal laws will be probed. Uncle George Dewey Moves Washington, D. C. — Admiral and Mrs. George Dewey have decided to move from their residence, 1747 Rhode Island avenue, to Mrs. Dewey's old home at Sixtenth and K streets. They will rent the house they now occupy. This is the house which was presented to the admiral by a number of Americans as a token of their appreciation of the valor displayed in the battle of Manila bay. Quieting Down at Goldfield. Goldfield, Nev.-The labor situation in the Goldfield district is more satisfactory than it has been for many months. The mine workers are organizing independent unions, having already voted to withdraw from the Industrial Workers of the World, the organization which is accused of fomenting all the trouble. Other unionists are withdrawing from the Industrial Workers of the World and affiliating with the American Federation of Labor, which order is acceptable to the mine owners and business men. Durability of Co crete.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. Irishmen in the East objected to the funny post cards that caricatured them on St. Patrick's day and before, and the Postal Department at Washington promptly ordered them held up. Now what will the department order about the villainous post card caricatures on the Negro? BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING. We hope that the people of Colorado will come to realize, as soon as possible, that the meeting of the National Negro Business League, which is to occur at Topeka in August next, is one of the most important race events that the West will see for some years to come. The League is now a great body of earnest, industrious people and reflects the highest business acumen of the Negro. Booker T. Washington is realizing one of his dearest dreams in the business league. Seven years ago, when he was in Denver, he outlined his intentions at a banquet given him by our citizens. To-day it is the greatest national industrial gathering the Negro can boast of. Every business man and woman should do something to make the Topeka meeting surpass those of Atlanta and New York. THE MILLS OF THE GODS Two brief articles from our Washington correspondent, John H. Paynter, in last week's letter demands a moment's attention in this week's editorial. First, the assault on John Temple Graves, Atlanta, editor of the Georgian. It was this man, together with the Atlanta News, that famed the passions that resulted in the riot that mobbed over one hundred colored people last September. Since then the News has failed with ten thousand dollars' worth of liabilities and now the proud Atlantian editor, Graves, has been humiliated by being knocked down on the streets of his city. The gods are at work; the mills grind slowly but exceedingly fine. Retribution is sometimes administered in homeopathic doses, but it is effective. It must have stung the pride of Atlanta's foremost editor to find himself sprawling on the street from a blow administered by his compeer, but it will serve to cause him to see how the blacks felt. Let the good work go on. We could almost, like the good deacon, say, "Lord, hit him again." The second piece of good news from our correspondent was the announcement that a colored boy, A. L. Locke of Philadelphia, had captured the Rhodes scholarship at Oxford from the ambitious Caucasian youths of the Keystone state and will go to London for a three-year post graduate course with a $1,500 tuition tied to his belt, and when it is understood that personal as well as intellectual fitness, including external appearance, manliness of character and popularity as a student had to be passed upon, it will be seen that Mr. Locke measured up to every requirement necessary. This is creditable; it shows that the Negro is not seeking shoddy honors, but is reaching for the very best and highest attainments. Colorado colored students ought to set their minds also to this achievement. "Hiteh your wagon to a star" was Emerson's advice, and nothing short of the highest ought to interest us. Mr. Paynter's letters are always good and bring to Colorado readers food for thought. This paper is giving the colored reading public the best food on the market. Are you reading it? Then you ought to see that others do it. Why not talk up, boost up, and pay up the Colorado Statesman and help us to give you a paper equal to the best. DEPARTING IN LOVE AND UNIVERSAL PEACE. Last week we spoke of Rev. Ford leaving Zion church to go abroad for a much needed rest and recreation. It may be a surprise to many of our readers that we give so much attention to this departure, but we only do it to call attention to the fact of his quiet, steady, persistent and continuous leadership among us. So unobserved and unnoticed has his work been among all classes that we did not recognize his merit, worth and service until now we are to lose it. This is always true of a good thing. While it is with us we seldom appreciate it; when it is gone we miss it. The Colorado Statesman feels that it has done a great deal of good in helping to smooth out some of Rev. Ford's disgruntled members. Often when he was misunderstood and criticized by his own brethren we have said the pastor was right, or meant right, as he stood for all the people and not to promote the personal ideas or interest of a select few. So we feel that our praise at this time is not post mortem elucyge only. How pleasant it is to see and hear Rev. Ford speaking tender and dearing words to all, both citizens and church upon his retirement fro mour midst, rather than applying the lash and uttering harsh statements upon his enemies as is so often the case when a pastor to separating from a church. He speaks kindly to all and in turn all speak kindly of him and are vieing with each other in doing him honor. He has been the guest at many pleased dinners among his members he is to be honored with several receptions and testimonials and no doubt will be the recipient of many tokens and personal gifts that will be reminders of the appreciation and esteem in which he is held in Denver and throughout the state. THE FLURRY IN STOCKS Are we to have an industrial panic? This is the question that is worrying stock jobbers, financiers, railroad magnates and commercial Napoleons at the present hour. The likelihood hinges on the question. Why should there be a panic? The country was never so prosperous as at the present hour. If a panic does come it will be charged to President Roosevelt. But no account of the ups and downs of the stock market is being taken at the White House. The administration has nothing to do with the manipulations of stocks and if the water in them is squeezed and has become a matter of public knowledge it is no particular result of legislative or administration concern. What the President hopes to accomplish has already been set forth in several messages and numberless speeches in the last three years. The government proposes to regulate rates on interstate commerce shipment and give a square deal to both haulers and shippers and if this produces a panic then let it come. It is the fear that appraisement of railroad properties will be ordered by the President. This will have to be done in order to get a fair basis of the earning power for the amount of capital actually, not relatively or theoretically, invested, upon which to fix a scale of prices. This is what the railroads do not want done, but what the people do want, and it is a question which will triumph. The railroads threaten retrenchment and already have begun to lay off hands, cut salaries and cancel contracts and improvements but we see no way for the government to back down from its proposition and duty and if the panic does come let us put the responsibility where it properly belongs, on the railroads, who have been too exorbitant in their rates, and who refuse to arbitrate the matter with the government or shippers. The time has now come for the railroads to come out in the open and deal square with the people. Insurance and the packing houses have had their cleaning up and are better for it, now let the railroads take their dose of cathartics and look pleasant. EASTER. Again the joyous day is upon us. Easter with its meaning and its message. Both of which are blessed joys not to certain churches, classes or races, but to all the earth's remotest bounds. Christmas is the day of the children, Easter for men and women of matured experience who are interested in the deeper problems of life. Job, the Patriarch of the East, gave expression to a solemn question that has echoed down through the centuries, and is in our minds and on our lips to-day: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Easter is the naswer. "As I rise, so shall ye also rise." Here is the answer. Easter establishes the long debated question of immortality. Winter is the symbol of death, spring calls for life. Mortality is the call of nature to surrender life. Easter is the command of divinity to release from death. Christmas tells the story of a child born; but he is still a child, full of expectation, and the wonder of the ages, yet a child. Easter dispells the wonder, satisfies the expectation and answers the problems of the ages. The burst tomb, the empty sepulehre, the risen Master, al joyously proclaim the glad message of life after decease. The grave is not final; death does not end all. Therefore the Eastertide comes to the hearts of men with a sweet and tender message. It is a beautiful poem with a glad finale and a glorious conclusion. It dispels doubts, illusions and grief, sorrows, tears and suffering. If you have a friend, parent or relative in the grave, Easter says, "Be of good cheer, I have overcame death and the grace." May this Easter be an inspiring hope, a brightening of your horizon and a deep and full assurance of the right outcome of all that concerns the human soul. There are those who hesitate observing Easter lest it should minister to pride, vanity or churchanity, but no one should allow the misuse or abuse of a blessed truth to keep them from enjoying its real meaning. Therefore, be happy, be joyful, and let the Easter message fill you with comfort, cheer and a hope such as no other season offers. O! joyous Easter, while the birds warble, the flowers bloom, the choirs praise, the children sing and all nature bursts forth into life. I will be content. I will be happy. THIS REACHES THE LIMIT. The Denver Republican last Saturday morning contained the following, clipped from the Chicago papers: Chicago, March 22.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Little Rock, Ark., says: Senator McKnight introduced a bill in the Senate yesterday morning making it unlawful for Negroes to wait upon or serve white persons as porters on trains, as barbers or as waiters in restaurants or hotels, and equally unlawful for white servants to wait upon Negroes. Senator Amis, in opposition, said the bill was to prevent Negroes from waiting on whites, and moved that it be rejected. Senator McKnight made a strong plea for the measure, denying that the prime object was to prevent Negroes from serving white people. "It is to prevent Negroes from taking white women about the waist and helping them off the trains," he said. "Why, my wife is afraid to come to town alone because she is waited upon by these blacks." Senator Amis withdrew his motion to reject the bill and it was read a second time and referred to the committee on agriculture. This, we say, reaches the limit. It seems marvelous strange that white women have dogs, horses, monkeys, elephants, snakes and many other domestic and wild animals for pets, and yet can not bear a colored man near to her. It seems strange that she should be helped, assisted and waited upon by every other nationality in the world and yet a Negro should not be permitted to assist her as a menial in the serving class. Next, I suppose, he will not be permitted to use his eyes or look in the direction which a white woman passes. This, we say, reaches the limit. It would take a prophet or seer to say where this matter is to end. Now, we want to say for the benefit of Denver colored waiters and footmen at the dry goods stores, since this matter has become a subject of legislative investigation and newspaper and public discussion, it behooves you as public servants upon whom the eyes of the world is cast, to conduct yourselves as respectable, civil and sensible men against whom no suspicion can be hurled, also to porters on the railroads who grow familiar with the traveling feminine tourists, it will pay you to be cautious and sane in the discharge of your necessary duties. Perhaps some of these servants have been unduly polite and obliging to white women, putting their hands on their waists and shoulders and coming in more or less close contact with them, but it was never dreamed that anything more than a courteous duty, but now that this is not desired let us be a little less obliging, even if at the expense of being less civil. The time has come for the Negro to show that he is a man, and not ready to grin in every white woman's face simply because she is white, for a white skin is no longer a sign of virtue. If these same legislators were to pass another bill making it a penalty for white men to insult a colored woman or girl by looks, words, or putting their hands upon them we might have some faith that the object of the bill was to honor and protect womanhood from instruasion, suggestion, or even motives bearing upon her person or honor. NEW THOUGHT NEW TFOUGHT Pueblo, Colo., March 13. To Whom It May Concern; Continued from first page. phenomena to be as real and clear to the mind as the phychic and physical. I cheerfully say that I carry a sick and accident benefit with the Commonwealth Life of Denver on both my wife and myself, and I consider the association in every way responsible and reliable. There are a number of persons, members of my church, who carry policies with them, and I am glad to say that all claims which have been brought to my notice, have been satisfactorily and promptly settled. I cheerfully recommend them to all who desire this kind of insurance. Respectfully, Thus New Thought has to do with the whole life of man, his health, his knowledge of himself, his knowledge of the physical universe, of the psychic and spiritual realm, can such knowledge as this be estimated or computed or measured by a monetary value in dollars and cents. As we said at the outset New Thought is potential not relative, it is the key to truth itself; it is the essence of life, the lever of power and the joy of knowledge. It is practicable and profitable as well as pleasurable. It has been the desire of the guest of scholars and the ambition of all seekers yet while it has been hid from the wise and prudent it has been revealed to the simple; humble patient students, New Thought is orderly thought, straight thought and pure thought and when once possessed all else counts for naught in comparison.

The funeral of William Henry Green the oldest colored barber of Denver was held from Zion church, Wednesday at 2 p. m.

Wesley Frieson and James Clark have been trying for the past three months as to which was superior at the game of pool. Honors have been even thus far but each remarks at each meeting, "I will make you put your hand in mine this time." We will wager a "yaller" dog against a black cat that the game will continue all summer without results. Any takers? An Au Revoir Reception in honor of Rev. and Dr. John E. Ford given by the young people of Zion church and their friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Overton, 2822 High street proved to be a most delightful and interesting social event of Denver's best and most talented society. A large committee had the affair in hand and made it splendid success. John Frazier who was charged with publishing an obscene and lascivious letter by delivering the same to a young white lady, a hairdresser, was tried in the West Side Criminal Court this week and acquitted. The trial was a difficult one as the two principal witnesses were two young white ladies. Joseph H. Stuart was the defendant's attorney and it is conceded by all who heard the trial that he put up for his client a most ingenious and effective defense, which evidently commended itself to the jury as the proper meaning of the language and abreviations in the letter for they returned their verdict in less than an hour. The Thanksgiving anniversary of the Knights of Pythias order was observed last Sunday afternoon at Campbell A. M. E. church by the two lodges of Denver.

George B. Pash followed next and was preceded by the subordinate lodges. The preliminary exercises were opened by Chancellor Commander H. W. Hinkle, after which he surrendered the gavel to Master of Ceremonies C. W. Young, who after a few brief remarks on the foundation of the order announced the numbers on the program. Rev. J. S. Payne who preached the sermon proved by his remarks that he was quite familiar with the lesson of Damon and Pythias, and the members expressed themselves as being highly elated over the sermon.

Fields at Zion Baptist church last Sunday afternoon drew the largest crowd ever seen in Denver. The services were under the auspices of Rice Lodge No. 39, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, of which deceased was a member. This popular organization, headed by a band, made the procession a very impressive one. The words of eulogy by Rev. J. E. Ford, who preached the funeral, was in every respect befitting to the deceased. The flowers were abundant and luxuriant, five massive designs, besides the bunch flowers covered the beautiful white couch casket. The services and church music was in keeping with the honor with which deceased was esteemed. The handling of the crowd of nearly two thousand persons, who viewed the remains without confusion, accident, delay or anything to mar the solemnity of the occasion is due in a large measure to Undertaker Q. J. Gilmore, who had charge of the remains, and has been a subject of universal comment. The paulbearers were Messrs. Eugene Carter, Guy A. Stills, Charles Hall, Emett Webster, Lesley Chapman and Charles Cox. Leaving the church, the procession, headed by Esq. James Cartwright, moved to Sixteenth street, thence to Broadway to Fifteenth and California, where cars awaited those not provided with carriages. During the march up Sixteenth street, which was thronged with people, men high up in life paid their last respect to the deceased by doffing their hats as the procession passed. The remains were laid to rest at Fairmont cemetery, the ceremonies being conducted by the Elks in their ritualistic ceremonies. Commonwealth Life, City: Gentlemen—I wish to thank you for the way you have treated me in my late sickness. You are certainly all right. Yours truly, (Signed.) MRS. WARD COLE, 2918 Welton.

The insurance bill passed the House on Wednesday evening at 6:10. Not one vote was recorded against it, thus showing that it had the support of all the legitimate companies. This new law compels the Denver companies to put up $10,000 with the state, failing which they will be forced out of business. Rumor has it that it will cause several of them to suspend business. Associations and fraternal orders are not affected by this bill. We are informed that the Commonwealth Life Association, which is incorporated under fraternal laws, has already opened negotiations with a view to buying out two of the companies mentioned. A Texas editor who had been handed a lemon by three of his delinquent subscribers, sent each one of them a card bearing the following inscription: "To three of my delinquent customers." One of them said: "I will pay Saturday night if I live." He's dead. Another said: "See you tomorrow." He's blind. Still another-said: "I hope to pay you this week or go to hell. He's gone. LAWYER.

Pretense is one of the fashions of the time. Pretense is becoming so perfected and so general that if a person should put off all pretense he would run the risk of being charged with affectation. Next to having, the best thing nowadays is seeming to have. There is really some foundation in reason for this kind of pretense, since it has become 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. Jewelry, lace, furs, etc., are lent out for a consideration, and after they have served their purpose and been duly chronicle in the newspapers they are returned to the owners. It appears that a well-known Paris jeweler does a large business of this nature."—Washington Star. Fools All the Doctors. "There is a hale and hearty looking old chap walking about town," remarked a New York physician lately, "who for years has had a complication of diseases which make him most interesting to the profession. The alliments of which he shows undenable symptoms are rarely seen in combination and the state of his inner workings is a matter for speculation among the doctors who have examined him. "The old fellow himself loves to tell that when he first asked medical advice, some twenty years ago, the physician, a famous practitioner in those days, wrote across the diagnosis he had put down on paper: 'This man cannot live thirty days. I should like to be present at the autopsy.' That great doctor has been dead these many years and the dying patient still smiles cheerfully and seeks a cure for his malady. Queer, isn't it?" Why He Paid the Fare. Three small boys who were in a crowded car going to a suburban ball game were discussing the effect the cost of the trip would have on their supply of pocket money, and reached the point where they were deciding if they wouldn't have to walk home if they had to pay to get into the grounds. "I won't," declared one of the boys. "Why not." asked his incredulous companions. The boy with the five-cent surplus jerked his head in the direction of a young man on the end of the seat and explained: "He paid my fare."

Roanoke, Va., March 20.-- Franklin county grand jury at Rocky Mount has brought in 73 indictment against the Southern railway for violatig the "Jim Crow" law, which provides separate cars for whites and Negroes. Derby, Conn., March 18. James Edward Packard, 28, son of a wealthy Vermont quarryman and Daisy Bell Brown, a 20 year-old New London colored woman, are touring the state in an endeavor to find a clergyman to wed them. Packard obtained a wedding license from the town clerk of Westerly, R. I., but every clergyman the couple approached there and in several Connecticut towns refused to marry them, on the ground of color. Packard and his colored fiancee are now in Stonington. Raleigh, N. C.—The legislature of North Carolina passed a bill today appropriating the sum of five thousand dollars to be used in collecting the Negro exhibit from this State for the Jamestown Exposition. Lawyer E. A. Johnson appeared before the committee, with other, and made a speech favoring the measure, after which the legislature passed the bill appropriating the money by a unanimous vote. The North Carolina colored people are making preparations to be properly represented at the Jamestown Exposition. They already maintain a State Fair Association, which holds an exhibition every year and has kept this up for 28 years in succession. I'm not broke. Where the man who started the story about me losing all of my forture won in the ring and on the stage in the past got his information, I can not understand," said Joe Gans on his arrival in Baltimore, where he is enjoying a week's rest with his mother and friends. "I want it known that I have turned over almost every cent of my earnings to my mother. She acts as my financial secretary. My bank account shows I am worth a little over $30,000. If you call that being broke, I have no objection to the work. I will admit playing some of my earnings on various gambling propositions, but not near as heavy as has been reported. I have made it a rule the last year to send most of the money I make to my mother, so I will not be tempted to bet it away." Atlantic City.—Discovery of a deposit left by his father in the vaults of a Washington bank raised today John Webster, Negro janitor of the City Hall, to the moneyed ranks. The bequest will amount to between $30,000 and $50,000 and is to be divided between Webster and a brothers who believes in the capital. Delight at his good fortune, the janitor threw up his job and has gone to claim the money. According to the story received by Webster from the brother the money is the accumulation of a smaller sum placed in the bank twenty-seven years ago by the father, who is believed to have received it from a former master in the South as a bequest sometime after the war. The old man continued along as an employee in one of the government buildings and up to the time of his death, a few weeks ago, none of his relatives knew of the money which he placed at interest immediately on its receipt.

Dangerous to Neglect Even an Ordinary Cough or Cold—Simple Remedy Is Effective. "Good tood, fresh air and rest; keep your windows open winter and summer." So we are told by the great scientist is们 who are certainly doing wonders in reducing the death rate from Tubericulus. They also warn us not to neglect a cold or cough, and it is most important that this advice be followed. While the cough or cold may not bring consumption, it is better to be on the safe side and take no chances. Here is a simple remedy that will break up a cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable: Glycerine, two ounces; Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; good Whisky, a half pint. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses every four hours. The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, but must be pure to effect the desired results. For this reason it is always best to purchase the ingredients separately and prepare the mixture at home. Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) should be purchased only in the original half ounce vials put up for druggists to dispense. Each vial is enclosed 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. Prepared only by Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.—plainly printed thereon. Imitations and oils sold in bulk pay dealers larger profits, but they are dangerous to health and should never be used. Statesman's Simple Life. Herr Bebel, perhahs the most impressive orator in the German reichsting, usually speaks without notes of any kind, thinking as he goes.

He told an interviewer once that when he wants to get ready for a speech he goes into his little garden and trims the rose trees. $100 Reward. $100.

Governor Buchtel is interested in all the festivities which, as a rule, mark Arbor Day. He was strongly in favor of calling April "Arbor Month," but was advised that the law sets aside but one day to be observed. He has issued the following proclamation: The Colorado Arbor Day law is as follows: "The third Friday in April of each year shall be set apart and known as "Arbor day," to be observed by the people of this state in the planting of forest trees for the benefit and adornment of public and private grounds places and ways, and in such other efforts and undertakings as shall be in harmony with the general character of the day so established; provided, that the actual planting of trees may be done on the day designated, or at such other most convenient time as may best conform to local climatic conditions, such other time to be designated, and due notice thereof given by the several county superintendents of schools for their respective counties." In accordance with this law, I therefore designate, Friday, April 19th, as Arbor Day, for the year 1907, and heartily recommend to all the people of the state, to all professors and students in educational institutions, and to all teachers and pupils in the public schools, that the day be observed in the manner contemplated by the law. Special attention is directed to the advice in the law that the actual planting of trees shall be done at such convenient time as may best conform to local climatic conditions. The entire month of April should, therefore, be recognized as the month for the planting of trees in Colorado. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of state to be affixed, at Denver, this 26th day of March, A. D. 1907. HENRY A. BUCHTEL, Governor. TIMOTHY O'CONNOR, Secretary of State. John D. Remembers Colorado. New York.—The first distribution by the General Education Board since it received John D. Rockefeller's most recent contribution of $32,000,000 was made at a meeting of the board Wednesday, when conditional gifts totaling $667,000 were made to five educational institutions. The money was divided as follows: Yale University, $300,000; Princeton University, $200,000; Bowdolin College, Brunswick, Maine, $50,000; Colorado College, Colorado Springs, $50,000; Millspaugh College, Jackson, Mississippi, $25,000. After making these appropriations the board voted to give a total of $42.500 to colored schools, the names of which were not made public. With the five principal gifts is the condition that the institutions shall raise a specified sum, of which the board's appropriation shall be a part. Yale and Princeton are each to raise $2,000,000; Colorado College, $500,000; Bowdoin, $250,000, and Millspaugh, $100,000. Would Blow Up Hospital. Cripple Creek, Colo.—Roy Bourquin, aged eighteen years, is under arrest, charged by the county physician, Dr. Grillcris, with placing several sticks of dynamite on the furnace of the county hospital. Bourquin, a few years ago, while playing with dynamite, had both of his hands blown off and he lost the sight of an eye. Two months ago some boys had a bonfire near the county hospital, where he resides, and he threw a cap into the fire which nearly destroyed the sight of an eye of another youngster. Bourquin has a mania for explosives and is constantly playing with them. The fact that a patient at the county home went down in the cellar to fix the fire yesterday afternoon and happened to see the sticks lying on the top of the furnace, removed the possibility of the institution being blown up and a number of lives lost. Shark Bites Off Sailor's Finger Washington.—A curious story illustrating the number and ferocity of the sharks that infest the harbor of Manila is afforded by an incident reported in the mail just received at the insular bureau from the Phillippines. This is to the effect as one of the boats belonging to the little gunboat El Cane was being rowed out to the ship February 9th, the plug in the bottom of the boat came out, and to prevent it from being swamped J. J. Dunlap, a soldier belonging to the El Cane, thrust his finger into the hole. The finger was immediately bitten off as if it were amputated by a surgeon, though the amputation in this case was by a shark. As the lost finger was used to pull the trigger of the rifle, the sailor will have to be retired, being incompetent to perform his duty. Burlington Bridge Burns. Grand Island, Neb.—Only by the hardest work of section men with pumps was the complete destruction of the Burlington bridge across the Platte river prevented last night. The warm winds of the past few days made the bridge dry as tinder. It caught fire from sparks dropped by a freight train. Seven twenty-foot spans were burned out. The Burlington trains are being sent around by way of Central City.

Two-Cent Passenger Rate in Pennsyl- vania.

New York Women Have Surmounted Great Obstacle. Marvelous as it may seem. New York women have lately discovered a way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance. Thought not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the chambermaids that they now feel that it is time to guard their pockets. The Gotham woman discovered that if she put her blouse on hind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top to bottom, with the exception of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without unduly straining the fastenings. So simple! So strange that no one had thought of it before. Or is it possible other women have used the plan and meanly kept it to themselves? Will the waist that buttons in the back now have a new lease of life? FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep— Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would to scratch though the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now. Edward Worell, Band 30th U. S. Infantry, Fort Crook, Nebraska." Detective's Parable Hilary K. Adair, the well-known detective, was complimented in Galveston, Tex., on an arrest that he had made. The arrest had been mysteriously achieved and Mr. Adair was asked to explain it. This, though, he refused to do. "There are so many ways of catching criminals," he said, laughing. "You know what the old man told his wife? She first said to him: 'Don't talk, John. You can't say I ever ran after you.' 'True,' the old man assented. 'And you can't say the trap ever runs after the mouse, either, but it gathers him in just the same.'" A Big Bargain for 12 Cents Postpaid.

What we have been makes us what we are.—George Eliot TWO YEARS IN BED Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Stubborn Rheumatism When Other Treatment Gave No Relief. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been curing the most stubborn cases of rheumatism for nearly a generation and thousands of grateful patients have given testimony that cannot be ignored. Mr. Robert Odbert, a machinist, living at 201 Cameron Street, Detroit, Mich., had a very distressing experience with rheumatism for about two years. He makes the following statement: "About the year 1887 I felt the effects of rheumatism which gradually grew worse until I was compelled to give up work for a time. The years of '97 and '98 I was confined to my bed most of the time. I was under doctors' treatment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hips downward and red blotches appeared all over them. Frequently they pained me so that I had to bind them tighly with strips of linen. This sometimes relieved the pain but at other times failed to do so. At times I had to crawl to my work, using two crutches. During these spells I suffered greatly from pain around my heart which I attributed to the rheumatism. "At last my mother wrote me and asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did in a short time I found myself getting better and have had no trouble since. I may here add that I consider myself perfectly cured. I have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better now than I ever did. For these reasons I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any one affected the same as I was." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mall, postpaid on receipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

AKING OWDER An interesting discovery has been made by the well-known Heidelberg scientist, Professor Klaatsch. Writing in the Koelner Zeitung, the professor says that while examining some Australasian natives arrested for killing a white man in Port Arthur, he found that one of the men had feet and hands of exactly the same shape and appearance as those of monkeys. The natives, on his inquiries, stated that in the hitherto-unexplored regions between the rivers Daly and Victoria a numerous people have similar hands and feet, and otherwise bear a strong resemblance to large monkeys.

Mrs. Mary Dixon, aged seventy, has just died near Florence. She came to Colorado thirty-five years ago. While wrestling with his father the other night, Jose Munez, a Mexican, had his neck broken by the fall. Two men were arrested near Fort Collins recently on the charge of stealing a load of corn and six fat lambs. Leadville safe-crackers pulled off another robbing the other night. Over $3,000 has been stolen there of late. Miss Alice Mulaney of Loveland was badly burned by trying to coax the kitchen fire along with kerosene. Nimrods will be pleased to know that sea gulls and ducks are swarming the lakes in the neighborhood of Greeley. About fifty students from the University at Boulder will tour the state in search of knowledge—and butterfiles. The curtains are again to roll up on vaudeville in the old California theater in Florence, after being closed three years. Frank Roney, a Pueblo man, has been arrested for kidnapping his own child? Why didn't he let the kid do its own napping? Now that Greeley's town marshal has bought an automobile with which to run down the wayfaring, no guilty man auto escape. A Trinidad man was so considerate of his brother's welfare that he embezzled $2,000 to keep him out of trouble, so he says. Miss Adar Osborne was seriously hurt in a runaway near Greeley last Monday. Her jaw was broken in two places and her skull badly fractured. John W. Carrol, for a number of years conductor on a railroad is candidate for mayor of Salida. He ought to know how to handle the tickets. All the carmen on the Colorado & Southern employed between Walsenburg and Texline, are to receive a raise of 2 cents an hour after April 1st.

John Okey, a sixteen-year-old boy, has been held on the charge of murlering Alexander Albin, a ranchman near Montrose. The deed grew out of a quarrel over a line fence. C. E. Mahoney, acting president of the Western Federation of Miners, has gone to Goldfield, Nevada, where he was called to settle the strike now in progress there. He expects to be there two weeks. The first automobile club in Wyoming has been organized at Cheyenne. This ought to open the eyes of Eastern tenderfeet who think that Wyoming is nothing but a home for bucking broncos. Sentence of death has been pronounced upon Santiago Tafoya, who was convicted of murdering Pedro Grelo near Sopris, six weeks ago. He will be hanged in the state penitentiary during the week of July 6th. A package containing $2,500 that was taken from the depot platform at Aspen a few days ago, has been returned by mail. The name of the conscience-smitten one who returned it was not given. Dr. J. A. Holmes has invented a process whereby the lowest grade of coal may be made useful. The coal is saturated with a mixture. By this process millions of tons of Colorado coal will be made valuable. Scout Oliver Wiggins, the Denver weather prognosticator, gives it out flat that "these diggin's air to hev a three-foot snow about April 1st, by cracky." The old scout comes desperately near telling the truth about it, too. The wild rumors of the near approach of the end of the world have in no way disturbed the people of Colorado. Of course, it will crowd some us a little when the outsiders come into paradise, but then there is room for all the good.

Life is such a constant rush to a well-known physician that to secure a little recreation he has recourse to ruses. A visitor called one night, and began a speech to the servant: "I want the doctor to come over as quickly as he can." "He can't do it!" the servant answered. "He left orders that he was so busy that unless it was absolutely a matter of life and death he couldn't go out at all this evening." "But," said the caller, "it isn't illness at all." "What then?" "We want him to come over and take a hand in a game of whist." The servant disappeared, and reappeared a moment later. "The doctor says he'll be over in ten minutes, sir," he announced.

CLAIMS TO CURE ALL ILLS. Scotch Minister Announces Discovery of Remarkable Germicide. A claim of an astounding nature is put forward by a minister whose field of work lies within the bounds of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. He has discovered a germicide by the application of which he can cure every kind of infectious, loathsome, and incurable disease, even when considered, humanly speaking, hopeless. He has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that hospitals for infectious diseases are quite unnecessary, and that surgical operations on the battlefield or in railway or other accidents, are totally uncalled for. No operation is needed, according to him, for appendicitis, for example, as it can be perfectly well cured by the germicide. The discovery of the germicide has published a list of the names of 50 patients, with their addresses, whom he says he has cured, or is in process of curing, even in some cases, after they had received their "death warrant" from medical practitioners. Another Silent Senator. In substituting Major Frank O. Briggs for John F. Dryden New Jersey will send another silent senator to congress. It is said that Major Briggs has never made a speech or written a public document of any kind. Nor has he had any legislative experience. For a long time New Jersey has been represented in the senate by men who have not displayed forensic ability. Mr. Kean, who is now serving his second term, has never participated in senate debates. Long-Lived Bishops. Prelates and bishops are certainly what insurance men call "good risks," no matter what the form of their faith. Still active are the Methodist Bishop Bowman at 90, the Episcopal Bishop Huntington at 88, the Catholic Archbishop Williams at 85, the Catholic Bishop McQuaid at 84 and the Methodist Bishop Andrews at 82. GOOD NATURED AGAIN. Good Humor Returns with Change to Proper Food. "For many years I was a constant sufferer from indigestion and nervousness amounting almost to prostration," writes a Montana man. "My blood was impoverished, the vision was blurred and weak, with moving spots before my eyes. This was a steady daily condition. I grew ill-tempered, and eventually got so nervous I could not keep my books posted, nor handle accounts satisfactorily. I can't describe my sufferings. "Nothing I ate agreed with me, till one day I happened to notice Grape-Nuts in a grocery store and bought a package, out of curiosity to know what it was. "I liked the food from the very first, eating it with cream, and now I buy it by the case and use it daily. I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was supplying brain and nerve force as nothing in the drug line ever had done or could do. "It wasn't long before I was restored to health, comfort and happiness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts food my digestion had been restored, my nerves are steady once more, my eyesight is good again, my mental faculties are clear and acute, and I have become so good-natured that my friends are truly astonished at the change. I feel younger and better than I have for 20 years. No amount of money would induce me to surrender what I have gained through the use of Grape-Nuts food."

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used.

Rosenthal, the pianist, is one of those entitled to have his crankiness termed "the eccentricities of genius," says the San Francisco Chronicle. When he inspected his rooms at the Majestic upon his arrival very late the other night, he went softly to the adjoining doors, and placing his ears close to the cracks, exclaimed in broken English, "Zgodd, no sounds pass thees." After nodding his approval of the grand piano and the furniture he frowned at the tan-colored window shades. "Must be green." He was assured that a chance would be made especially for him the next day. At five o'clock in the morning Rosenthal, clad only in his pajamas, came scurrying excitedly down stairs and into the office, where the drowsy night clerk was nodding at the desk. "Ze street cars! Noise! Must stopped! Nervous me! I cannot sleep." The clerk hurriedly sent for Manager Gustav Mann, and Mann spent two hours telling Rosenthal funny stories in German trying to divert his mind while the clerk was upstairs squaring the management for waking a guest on the Gough street side and ordering him to move at once to the Sutter street side as a gas pipe had burst under the floor and had to be repaired! ```markdown ``` MRS.

The Kind You Have PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is compounded as upon the ingredients used. First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years' experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEM-SELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value.

ASTER Sunday is the day on which the church commemorates the resurrection of our Lord from the dead. By raising Himself from the dead, Christ triumphed over all His enemies, and gave the most convincing proof of His divinity. He foretold His resurrection. "The Son of Man shall be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matt. xii, 40.) Speaking of the temple of His body, He said: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (John ii, 19.) "On the third day He shall rise again." (Matt. xx, 19.) "I lay down my life that I may take it again. I have power to lay it down and take it up again." (John x, 18.) The resurrection of Christ was a ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` The Hope, Memory and Reality of Easter By Rev. Albert Parker Fitch. (Of the Congregational Church) THE Resurrection, which we celebrate on Easter day, means one of two things to most people. It is either a memory or a hope. To the young into whose souls the wise years have not ground their experience of pain, their proof of the utter unreasonableness and malignant cruelty of life, if this life here were all, to them Easter is a far-off fading memory which has no especial significance for to-day. Jesus' resurrection is an infinitely remote event, a magical wonder. It occurred under other skies, in a distant land, amid a wormout and forgotten civilization. To be sure there is historical evidence for it, but they accept it, if they accept it at all, with about as much vividness of perception as they accept the death of Alexander or the assassination of Julius Caesar. Then, to older men and women, the resurrection is not so much a memory as a hope. It is a hope born of a desperate necessity. We remember little children who sleep in tiny graves to-day and our hearts demand that they be Easter graves. We remember great souls, passed on now, + The Question Answered By the Resurrection By Rev. Reuben Kidner. (Of the Episcopal Church.) THE meaning of the resurrection is that it confirms the belief in the immortality of the soul, which all mankind everywhere have held. Socrates, just before the end, says to his friends: "But that which I some time since argued at length, that when I have drunk the poison I shall no longer remain with you, but shall depart to some happy state of the blessed." On an ancient Greek tomb we read: "Mother, leave thy grief, remembering the soul which Zeus has rendered immortal and undecaying to me for all time, and has carried now into the starry skies." This is another Greek utterance: "Dying, thou art not dead! thou art An E + Out of the tomb of night a day has risen; be not anxious, this day is all your own; do not hurry, for in time it is like all other days; neither delay, for NOW is passing. Early turn your face to the dawn and let its fresh beams bathe away all the stains of night, then should the noon be dark with storms, your smile will still wear the rose tints of the morning. This new day can be saved only by spending it; therefore, in its care be enduring; in its confusion be patient; in its sorrow be trustful; in its trial be noble; in its peril be heroic. Step softly among human hearts and leave so much of kindness along life's pathway, that gladness shall spring up bearing tribute in the cool eventide of the world's glad Easter. By Rev. William Byrne. miracle; that is, something beyond the power' of any created being to effect. Christ by His divine power recalled His soul to His body, and arose from the tomb glorious and immortal. He appeared frequently to His apostles and disciples after His resurrection; and to cure the doubting mind of St. Thomas, allowed him to touch the wounds. The true significance of this festival is well expressed in the gradual and sequence of the Easter liturgy. "This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad. Christ, our Pasch, is immolated." "Let Christians offer praise to the Paschal victim. The Lamb has redeemed the flock. The sinless Christ has reconciled sinners to his Father. Death and Life waged a wondrous conflict. The Lord of Life by dying lives and reigns." The resurrection of Christ is the model of our spiritual regeneration and the pledge of our immortality. William Dymond is to whom we gave our worship in our youth. We have lived beside them and seen their deathless effort, their far-reaching aspiration, their virtue, strength, wisdom, power, light—all the persistent heroism of the soul. And then, when the highest station had been reached, when the noblest song was quivering at last upon their triumphant lips, we've seen it all end. Virtue, strength, wisdom, power, light, all vanished! Nothing left but dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rottenness to mother earth. And, seeing all this, the resurrection is not a fading memory to such souls, O, no! it stands for a desperate hope. There must be something beyond. Somewhere, sometime these shall live again. But to the Christian, to that happy man whom Jesus has found, the resurrection is not a memory and not a hope; he forges both of these in his joy in its present reality. The Easter assurance of immortality is not a faroff promise, it is a present gift; not a future hope, but an immediate possession. For God has come into him and taken possession of him, and he is living for the things of God in the eternal light and power of God, and he is already one of the immortals. gone to a happier country. And in the isles of the blest thou rejoicest, and thou shalt not hunger or thirst any more. Yea, and thy gods are thy light, and glory is ever upon thee." Thoughts like these occupied the minds of the blest and wisest long before the Christian era. Intimations of immortality abound in all literatures. The resurrection is not a bolt out of a clear sky. It is rather a stage in a process of evolution. It builds upon that which has gone before. It adds to what is already known. It confirms what was surmised. It gives form and shape to shadowy, but persistent and indestructible hopes and longings. The thought of the ages prepared the way for belief in the resurrection, and, when it happen, millions were ready to believe. DELIMER EUGENE (ROFT THE MAY CO.

There is nothing prettier than a field of Irish flax in full bloom. The stems are about 30 inches high, says a writer in Truth. They are very slender and of a pale green. On each stem is a flower in an exquisite tone of blue; something between a cornflower and a forget-me-not. The little flower is not of a very robust constitution. The petals soon fall, and then a seed pod forms which, when given time to do so, produces quantities of what we call linseed ("Thin" is the Celtic name for flax). But when the flax is grown for the manufacture of linen it is pulled up before the seed has had time to mature. After having been exposed to the air for a few days the flaw is laid in water, and during the fortnight that this process lasts the odious smell with which it fills the air is of a remarkably powerful character. As the local guides say: "Shure it's just the flax fermintin'. It's a powerful smell entirely, but there's no danger in it, glory be to God." The soaking makes it easy to separate the straw from the fibre by bruising it between rollers and then suspending it through an opening in the top of a machine in which a horizontal shaft with wooden blades revolves at the rate of 250 times a minute. Parted forever are the fibre, flax and the straw, now tow. Next comes the spinning into yarn, done in immense mills, and after that the yarn is woven into the fabric itself. Finally comes the bleaching, when the linen is laid out on the green field to be whitened by rain and sun and wind. These long strips of snow whiteness on the green turf surprise the stranger. He thinks it some sort of top dressing, spread upon the land to fertilize it. Belfast is the center of the linen trade. Puzzled the Post Office. The postal authorities of Rhode Island were puzzled a few weeks ago and being unable to find a solution for the case sent the matter to Washington, where it is still pending. Zebe Bradford Peterson, of the town of Rehoboth, Rhode Island, wanted to move his hen coop to another town, about ten miles distant. Having received a goodly price from a recent sale of farm products, he purchased $5 worth of five-cent stamps which he placed on the sides of the hen coop. When the collector came along he found the stamp-covered coop in front of a box, addressed. The wooden structure would not fit into his team. He was at a loss of what action to take so he returned to the village. The postmistress wired to one of the cities but they could not find a solution for the difficulty. A message was sent to Washington asking for advice, but no one there seemed to know, while Peterson went into the village and wanted to know "if this was a free country or not," and "what was the matter with the postal system." The Servant Problem. A Washington man was telling someone of the trials of his wife, an excellent housekeeper, with reference to the servant problem. Just about the time the mistress would get a new girl broken to the ways of the household and he would bid fair to become a model servant, she would decamp or enter the service of a neighbor. One of these, a Mrs. B., had incurred the especial enmity of the first woman, for she had lately taken two servants from Mrs. Brown. One night in the winter Brown was aroused from his slumbers by queer sounds in the kitchen. "Burglarls!" he hoarsely whispered in the ear of his spouse, as he prepared to tumble out of bed and proceed downstairs. "Edward," calmly observed the wife, "I'd give anything to possess your optimistic nature. Always looking on the bright side. I'll wager anything it's that odious Mrs. B—woman trying to get Mary away from me!" What to Do After Eating. Should one lie down after meals, and, if so, should one sleep? Dr. Schule, an assistant of Baumler at Freiberg, has analyzed the contents of the stomachs of two normal subjects removed several hours after an identical test meal of bread and distilled water, followed in one instance by sleep, in the other by simple rest in a horizontal position, says the London Post. Schule shows that sleep during digestion always results in weakening the motility of the stomach and increasing the acidity of the gastric juice, a fact attributed by him to the irritation caused by the chyme's remaining adnormally long in the stomach. He has also remarked that simple repose in a horizontal position, not accompanied by sleep, stimulates the gastric function without increasing the acidity. Changed His Tune "My dear," murmured the sick man to his wife, "I am nearing the golden streets. I hear strains of sweetest music, unearthly in its beauty, I—" "John," said his wife, "what you hear is a phonograph in the next flat." "So it is. Darn those people, anyhow. No consideration for their neighbors. Go and tell 'em to stop that infernal racket at once." The Way of It. Stella—Does she sew for charity? Bella—Yes, her husband will probably have to accept alms when her gown is made.
