Washing Hitian Army Officers America Diseases of Races--Neg Conference with t Exposition Special to Colorado Statesman: Three officers of the Haitian Army were quartered at a leading Washington hotel during a recent visit of the foreign representatives to the Jamestown Exposition, to the Capital of the Nation. It caused the hotel people a terrible heartache but they dared not refuse them. They were clothed in beautiful uniforms, conversed in elegant French and demeaned themselves with the utmosst grace and good breeding, yet they were the objects of considerable attention and remark, that was not meant to be complimentary. The color in their faces completely upset the equanimity and despoil their American cousins of their usual courtesy, especially to foreigners, for two of them were decidedly yellow and the other, aColonel, was extremely black. It is whispered too, that the fact that they were guests of the Government, along with officers from other countries, was alone responsible for their exemption from humiliation and insult. Dr. D. S. Lamb an eminent surgeon and medical instructor, with an exceptionally large experience in professional practice, has placed himself on record as decidedly opposing the hitherto generally accepted theory, that Negroes are more susceptible to disease than the white race. The occasion for the expression of this opinion which is particularly gratifying and reassuring too, after so much of positive assertion of an opposite character, was the recent meeting of the Anthropological Society in the rooms of the Cosmos club, this city. Dr. Lamb's address was very much in the nature of a sensation, but his position was sustained by facts and figures, principally gathered at first hand through personal contact and investigation, and so, must be accepted as worthy of the largest possible credence. The large Negro death rate was explained to be due to fatalistic tendencies of the race (which is really, the reliance upon herds and various species of bark as medicine) and the quite general practice of delay in calling in a physician until the last moment. --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK COLOR gton D. C. a's Guests.--Dr. Lamb on the roes Misrepresented in the President--The Opening. This explanation seems most reasonable, for it will be freely admitted that the abiding faith of the very poor and more ignorant of our people, in the efficacy of the crude remedies of the field and home, has continued wonderfully strong. The habit of delay in calling a doctor, is not confined to a particular class but is true generally and has its origin in an inclination to avoid what may prove an needless expense. It is true this may be responsible for a small percentage of the death rate, yet at the same time, the desire to control and correct physical disorders, through home agencies, is most commendable. The mothers and grandmothers of intelligent Negro homes, form a splendid crop of amature physicians of whom we should be proud and they are successful in a remarkably large percentage of the cases they undertake. Dr. Lamb insisted that the Negro was not predisposed to any disease except lockjaw and that much of his disease and sickness might be attributed to the use of alcohol and cocaine. An over zealous reporter of a local daily paper is responsible for the story which was copied far and wide in the press of the country, that Bishops Grant and Gains, together with the Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, had, on the occasion of their recent visit to the White House, promised the President a renewal of Negro support and confidence. The appointment of Dr. Scott to a Chaplaincy in the Army, was made to appear as the consideration for this support. The charge of gross disloyalty implied in the publication of this libel against gentleman whose lives have been devoted to Negro advancement, is too absurd to warrant the serious consideration of sensible men. As a matter of fact they called simply to urge the appointment of Dr. Scott and politics were not at any time the subject of conversation. The opening of the Jamestown Exposition was rather inauspicious from whatever view one may re- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1907. gard it, except from that of the Naval display. So rare an aggregation of the fighting craft of the world assembled in Hampton Roads for this event, to the number of three score or more, was a treat seldom offered and must remain a treasured memory to those so fortunate as to witness the same. Aside from this, there comes a general complaint of want of preparation in all of the many details which go to make up the general success of the affair and a seeming lack of adequate management and appreciation of so large an undertaking seem to be everywhere manifest. The event celebrated on the James river is nothing less than the three hundredth anniversary of the adoption of a country by a persecuted people now grown great and prosperous. It does seem too sad that its inauguration should be clouded by all the attendant ills and discomforts which must follow upon its unpreparedness. It is said the Negro building was not then roofed, but of course it would not have appeared seemly had this adjunct of the Fair been more nearly complete than all others. The principal features of the opening ceremonies was necessarily the address of the President which was filled with historical allusions that could not fail to fire the pride and stimulate the allegiance of all true Americans. Among the hundreds of prominent citizens and distinguished foreigners having a position of prominence at the exercises, were two representatives from the Negro Department of the Exhibition, Mrs Curtis and Mrs. Hughes, but the personal presentment of these ladies is so decidedly fair, that little suggestion of the real Negro, whose progress it is intended to emphasize, could have been afforded by their presence. JOHN H. PAYNTER. COMES TO LIFE. Fort Worth, Texas, May 5. Word was received here to-day that John Armstrong, a Negro, was legally hanged, officially pronounced dead and turned over to his relatives for final disposition of the body, but revived after he came into the family's hand and is alive. A novel situation exists. Armstrong is officially dead although living, and it is declared by attorneys that the state is now powerless to enforce the original verdict of death. Reports say the relatives are trying to keep the fate of the condemned man a secret least the authorities should again seize him and execute the mandate of the law. If the general interpretation of the law is adhered to they need have no fear. The execution took place at Columbus, Texas, Friday. April 19, the man having been convicted of wife murder. NEW YORK LETTER. We are in receipt of a letter from Rev. J. E. Ford which was written in New York on April 29th It reads as follows:—I arrived here safe and sound Saturday evening and found the COLORADO STATESMAN. It was awful good to get news from "Home." Denver never seems so fair as when one is away from her and the COLORADO STATESMAN never seems so interesting as when read at a distance. I spoke at four different New York churches last Sunday and was listened to with rapt attention, even applauded. It is strange that a rough shod Westerner should be received and appreciated so graciously in the cultured, dignified and magnified East but perhaps it was not so much my message as the novelty of the thing. I am glad to see the COLORADO STATESMAN keeping up its high standard of race journalism, in comparison with Eastern papers it takes no mean place. May Coloradians ever push to the front. I sail Saturday morning direct for Naples Italy. The North German Lloyd steamship Barbarossa is now lying at Anchor at the Hoboken docks, she looks a splendid craft capable of weathering the great deep. I shall again write you from abroad and would be glad to have you mail me a few copies of your paper at the above so that I may read Colorado news immediately upon landing again on terra firma. Remember my regards to your Colorado readers and say to them to keep busy for the Negro is "sure waking up," both here in New York and elsewhere. With continued best wishes for all friends in Colorado, I am, Yours westernly, JOHN E. FORD. GET BUSY. EDITOR COLORADO STATESMAN: DEAR SIR:—Will you allow me space enough in your valuable paper to ask of the progressive people just a few questions of interest to our race? First. Are we not overlooking a golden opportunity by allowing all other nations and classes to cooperate for the purpose of settling the barren land so easily accessible to us while we stand aside doing nothing in that direction? Second. Are we not neglecting a duty to ourselves as citizens not to assist in cultivating the barren and waste lands of the state as well as a duty to the race by not pro- viding a plan for the betterment of conditions and for the employment of our idle labor? Third. Do you not think the time is ripe for some of our representative men to look into a proposition to secure a few sections of land near Denver for the purpose of organizing a company for a district and townsite settlement-not as an emigration or colonization scheme, but purely as a business transaction for the benefit of both promoter and occupant? Everyday we read in the papers of vast tracts of dry land being purchased by syndicates for the purpose of forming settlements. Why not we too? Our salvation is in the earth and the sooner those of us who are adapted to the work get at it with pick and shovel, the sooner our worth as a progressive people will be recognized. To promote a proposition of this nature requires men of executive ability—men who have the interest of the race fully at heart—men who are free from selfish motives, but who realize that in helping others they help themselves. There are such men in this state, and I hope this important matter will be considered by them. Respectfully, O. T. JACKSON, Boulder, Colo, AMERICANS IN PARIS. The European edition of the New York Herald of April 20th published in Paris, France, contains quite a write-up of a reception tendered to America's newly appointed Ambassador to France. Many Americans were present and among the number was Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley, formerly of this city. In part it says: Americans especially, and Parisian Anglo Saxondom in general, gathered in very great numbers yesterday afternoon at Holy Trinity Lodge, 4 rue Pierre-Nicole, on the occasion of a reception to meet Mr. Henry White, the newly-appointed American Ambassador to France. It was a matter of general regret that Mrs. White was prevented from being present. This was to all intents and purposes, the first opportunity given to the Ambassador's compatriots to make his acquaintance since his arrival in Paris, and full advantage was taken thereof. No small part of the success of the reception is to be attributed to the musical programme, the contributors to which elicited hearty applause. Mme. Marguerita Sylva, of the Opera Comique, sang "For This," by de Koven, and the Habanera from "Carmen," accompanied by M. J. Carlier, also of the Opera Comique. Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley rendered "Spring," by Henschel, and the Polonaise from "Mignon." Miss Jean Brooks NÒ. 33 sang "Songe du Poete," by Farrari, the Prayer from "La Tosca," and "Pleurez, mes Yeux," from "Le Cid," while Mr. John F. Bryne contributed "Bedouin Love Song" and another selection. The accompanist was Mr. Charles Frederic Morse. It should be noted that all the names on the programme are those of Americans. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Senator Tillman declared, in his lecture in Springfield on Monday, "that the Negro cannot be educated and lifted up. You can't make a white man of a Negro by sending him to college." Nor can you make a Booker Washington out of a white blockhead by sending him to college. Will Senator Tillman examine the records and present work and standing of the graduates of the Tuskegee Institute, for example, and give an honest opinion as to whether or not they have been "lifted up?" Boston Herald. Washington, April 22.—There will be no strike in the office of auditor for the navy department because a Negro has been appointed to that position nor will applications by dissatisfied clerks for transfers to jobs in other government bureaus be favorably considered by the administration. The word has been passed down the line that if the clerks in that office do not like the completion of Ralph Taylor, of Columbus, Ohio, when he comes on to Washington on June 1st to succeed Colonel W. W. Brown of Pennsylvania as chief of this important bureau, their resignations will be accepted. South M'Alister, I. T., May 6. Six men alleged to be the leaders of the mob that lynched a Negro at Sterrett on March 31 were arrested at Durant and Sterrett, I. T., to-day by the United States marshal, brought to this city and held for the grand jury without bail The prisoners are John Williams, O H. Perkins and J. H. Newman of Durant, and Thomas Lawrence, "Dutch" Turley and James Hudson of Sterrett. Perkins and Newman, who are prominent business men, are under the guard of deputies at a hotel, and the other prisoners are in jail. The Negro, James Williams, who was lynched at Sterrett, had been arrested on a charge of assaulting Rose Misner, a 14-year-old girl, near Colbert. The mob took possession of a train at Colbert, went to Sterrett, where deputy marshals were waiting to transfer their prisoner to Durant, overpowered the officers and hanged the Negro to an oil derrick. $7.00 Sets of Teeth for $5.00; $10 Sets for $7.00; $15 Sets for $10; Gold Crowns only. $5.00 Gold Teeth, $4.00; Silver Fillings, 50c up; Gold and Platina, $1.00 up.

His offense was an aggravated one for he beat his wretched victim three different times when the latter had no possible protection. A man with a vicious temper has no business on a police force. A man endowed with bias or prejudice to such an extent that he will show brutality against a particular class of people is out of place in an officer's uniform. In many cities the police force becomes the haven of men who have personal reputations of their own as bummers and bruisers, and whose natures lead them to abuse every authority with which they are entrusted. The right to arrest does not include the right to assault and beat a prisoner, and officers of the law have no more right to take that liberty than has any other person. When self-defense, threatened escape, or other violence upon the part of a prisoner warrants it, nobody would condemn an officer for using his club, if he use it no more than necessary. But the general inclination of some officers to bully, browbeat and abuse a citizen, no matter if the victim be of the vagrant class, whenever arrest can be threatened, should be taken as conclusive proof that such officers are unfit for the duties entrusted to them. Whenever they are guilty of such abuse, let them be sent to jail and dismissed from the force. SKIDOO! WHAT can be the matter down in Florida, anyway? The state Senate has gone Governor Broward one better and declared the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the National Constitution to be "unconstitutional" and coid. It proposes to amputate these superfluous appendages from the national fundamental body, and has set about preparing the patient for the operation. The methods of procedure may cause some discussion in legislative clinics and other circles of legal surgery, but the Florida Solons seem to have made up their minds that they are specialists in the eliminating business, and that no matter what others may think or say, these objectionable outgrowths must go. They will first cut away the mortified flesh, the black epidermis; or, in other words, the Florida Negroes are to be disfranchised by one straight, keen stroke of the legislative disseeting knife, without any grandfather subterfuge or other southern sculdugery; and then they will carry the case, and the patient's remains, to the Supreme Court of the United States for its approval. There is one serious question arising out of this course of procedure to which the Solons do not seem to have given sufficient thought. That is the question as to who has first and supreme right to become the legal pall bearers to carry this case before the Supreme Court coroner. It has heretofore been conceded that the National Constitution is big enough to take care of itself, with the aid of a President with a stiff backbone. Heretofore no state has been allowed to pass upon the meaning of the National Constitution in a nullyfying way without being considered an offender against the Nation. Heretofore an offender against the Nation has not been conceded the right to carry his case to the Supreme Court of the Nation, but the national authority proceeds to carry the case home to the offender. Florida cannot kill the fundamental law and then expect to take charge of the obsequies. We believe that any sane federal administration, no matter what its political color, would simply arrest Florida and hold her for trial. The Federal Constitution, as it stands, has been accepted as the fundamental law for almost forty years. The present generation of Florida nullifiers is up against an entirely different proposition from that which confronted their forefathers when the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments were passed. If they are simply determined that the Negro shall not vote, nullification is not the proper course to pursue. Neither is murder, intimidation, or any other temporary expedient. Repeal is the only legal avenue open to civilized Americans. If the white folks of Florida were half-way just and half-way awake to the spirit of the present century, there would be more than one Negro member of their sleepy old Legislature who would tell them these very things. But, as it is, it seems that they will not be content until they hear the voice of authority at Washington yelling to them from the Supreme Court bench—“SKIDOO!” PHILANTHROPY PHILANTHROPY is a great force in the uplift of humanity, although it is usually a silent factor, and the author of it, in many cases, is too soon forgotten. There are many persons already in the land who owe their education to the endowment or gift of some kind-hearted philanthropist whose memory is reared all too little by those whose lives have been so benefited. Many a thirstp wayfarer quenches his thirst at a public drinking fountain, looks squarely at the donor's name engraved on the metal plate, and yet gives no particular thought to the character of the deed which made such ministration to his comfort or welfare possible. The horses and dogs that partake of like benefits do no less. And yet these sins of the beneficiaries make philanthropy all the more beautiful. There is no selfish motive in the act of the true philanthropist. There is no undue pomp, ostentation or display in the philanthropic deed of the man or woman of means who seeks solely to contribute to the immeasurable task of improving human conditions in a world that is full of ignorance and suffering. But what a wonderful accomplishment is theirs. What a vast current of gracious good and endless enlightenment is set flowing by these liberal and wise endowments. We remember the names of Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison, Stowe, and such advocates, because they were public idols in great popular movements, and yet their industrial efforts were of no more far-reaching importance than were the subsequent ministrations of hundreds of God-sent philanthropists, whose names have all but faded from public memory. But, without self-adoration, there must be sweet communion in the soul of the philanthropist who sees that he has done a lasting work for a helpless and needy people or community, for he surely has the approval of his conscience, which, undoubtedly, may be taken in such case as the voice of God. The Negro has made his greatest strides towards manhood through such benefactions. Freedom was nothing to him in an enlightened country without access to corresponding enlightenment. Philanthropy, more than law, has worked, and is still working wonders. The latest, and one of the greatest, to join this noble class of wonder-workers is Anna T. Jeanes, an aged Quaker lady of Philadelphia, who, last month, gave the round sum of one million dollars, one-fourth of her entire fortune, to be used for the education of Negro children in the South. The gift was made to Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, and Hollis B. Frissell of Hampton, with the understanding that it is not to be used for the large schools, such as they represent, but for the establishing and conducting of agricultural and trade schools and other elementary branches in the rural districts, where rudimentary and practical education is most urgently needed. This splendid gift more than honors this noble Quaker woman; it does more than immortalize her as public heroes are immortalized; it makes thousands of black children, with whatever genius they may develop, monuments to commemorate the beauty of her soul, and through her name, like those of other philanthropists, may be all but forgotten in a generation, the beneficial results of her gift and their of those who are to become her first beneficiaries. impress upon society and humanity will live through the impress upon society and humanity will live through all the posterity The Beef Trust and the Public By LOUIS F.

It has crept upon us so gradually that we failed to recognize it at first. Slowly but surely it is making itself felt! It is all too evident that women are acquiring the dominance of the the male. Men, on the other hand, are become. The seasons themselves have got strangely mixed why every year should not be "leap-year!". We have, however, bolder apostles of the pity feeble neophyte. Men are growing too shy on one must do it if the world is to go on; women breach. But half-measures are fraught with dark stance, make an avowal of one's feelings. Sink of blushes on a manly frock-coat and murmur for you—be mine!" But suppose Jack was pig-heart to that tender appeal! What an awkward person woman be? What should she do next? Here's petition. Or would it do to try a little bluff with a joke, something after this style: "I am for the last month you have been trying to procreate cannot screw up enough courage, so to save the proposing myself. I see no reason why we together and be 'a goodish couple as goodish one will be a great saving in postage stamps, for you pelled to write to me every morning. There, do not helped you, you might have gone on wood is commendable, but accidents will happen. Jas say: "Very sorry, my dear, but your Sister Mister day. First come, you know." "Milly, the little girl, she proved to me most eloquently that I do not with you. For the time being I believed her contingency might arise. Suppose the man was mamma?" The idea of proposing to one's pity enough to make any woman's blood run cold. the most ardent postulant to matrimony. Man vantage; he can propose to his prospective father heard is not always pleasant, but to the only impeccable. For the man-child is ever the mother-in-law, however perfect, appears in the light the first place in her boy's heart. on the other hand, are becoming timeless. Selfs have got strangely mixed, and they should not be "leap-year!" However, bolder apostles of the progressive Men are growing too shy or scared of the world is to go on; women will have measures are fraught with danger. One avowal of one's feelings. Sink with the manly frock-coat and murmur melodious. But suppose Jack was pig-headed enough to appeal! What an awkward position! What should she do next? Here is a fit. Did it do to try a little bluff camaraderie thing after this style: "I am quite afraid you have been trying to propose to me enough courage, so to save time and myself. I see no reason why we should a goodish couple as goodish couples giving in postage stamps, for you will move every morning. There, don't thank you might have gone on wooing forever but accidents will happen. Jack might say, my dear, but your Sister Millie proclaims, you know." "Milly, the little cat!" So me most eloquently that I was in for the time being I believed her." The next arise. Suppose the man was mean or idea of proposing to one's prospective any woman's blood run cold. It is of postulant to matrimony. Man always proposes to his prospective father-in-law's pleasant, but to the only mother of the man-child is ever the mother's dancer perfect, appears in the light of a river her boy's heart. the male. Men, on the other hand, are becoming timid, not to say shy! The seasons themselves have got strangely mixed, and there is no reason why every year should not be "leap-year!" We have, however, bolder apostles of the progressive woman than this feeble neophyte. Men are growing too shy or scared to propose. Some one must do it if the world is to go on; women will have to step into the breach. But half-measures are fraught with danger. One might, for instance, make an avowal of one's feelings. Sink with the required amount of blushes on a manly frock-coat and murmur melodiously: "Jack, I love you—be mine!" But suppose Jack was pig-headed enough not to respond to that tender appeal: What an awkward position! Where would the woman be? What should she do next? Here is a fit subject for a competition. Or would it do to try a little bluff camaraderie and carry it off with a joke, something after this style: "I am quite aware, Charlie, that for the last month you have been trying to propose to me. I suppose you cannot screw up enough courage, so to save time and trouble, I will do the proposing myself. I see no reason why we should not be very happy together and be 'a goodish couple as goodish couples go;' in any case, it will be a great saving in postage stamps, for you will no longer feel compelled to write to me every morning. There, don't thank me, but if I had not helped you, you might have gone on wooing forever." This method is commendable, but accidents will happen. Jack might round on one and say: "Very sorry, my dear, but your Sister Millie proposed for me yesterday. First come, you know." "Milly, the little cat!" "Well, my dear girl, she proved to me most eloquently that I was in love with her and not with you. For the time being I believed her." Then, again, another contingency might arise. Suppose the man was mean enough to say 'Ask mamma?' The idea of proposing to one's prospective mother-in-law is enough to make any woman's blood cold. It is calculated to damp the most ardent postulant to matrimony. Man always has an unfair advantage; he can propose to his prospective father-in-law; even this I have heard is not always pleasant, but to the only mother of a son no girl is impeccable. For the man-child is ever the mother's darling, and a daughter-in-law, however perfect, appears in the light of a rival coming to claim the first place in her boy's heart.

But the New Yorker, I find, doesn't accomplish more work and bigger deeds in the long run. Great allowance, you know, must be made for your natural fussiness and excitability, for there is no doubt that you people are inordinately high strung. The great difference between the New Yorker and the Londoner is that the New Yorker takes three steps to the Londoner's one. The Gothamite expends three times as much nervous energy as the Londoner does in the execution of his day's work, but he hasn't more to show for the extra steam expended when he quits his office for the day. More leisurely methods in your daily business life are what you people ought to cultivate. My many sojourns in New York have taught me that the best time for a stroll in New York is when it is raining, for one can then have the streets practically to himself. But the rain must be heavy!

"I believe I am the inventor of one of the best summer drinks that was ever invented," Lewis Godlove tells me. "It is not an intoxicating drink, either, but one that hardly a blue ribboner would balk at. "What are the component parts of the beverage? Iced tea, sugar and a little claret. Not enough claret to make even a single mental wheel unsteady if one drank a barrelful of the stuff within the compass of a single hour. The proportions I use are three parts tea to one part claret, with just enough sugar added to make it sweet to the taste. This amount will, of course, vary with different people. There isn't a single beverage on the market that I haven't tasted—these summer drinks, I mean, that are prepared to quench and not aggravate the thirst—but I insist that for cooling and thirst-allaying qualities none can equal my claret tea."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Death Had No Terrors Willet F. Cook, advertising manager of Judge, tells the following story of an incident that happened at Schenectady Park last Saturday: In a spirited baseball game the first baseman was knocked senseless by the swift running of one of the players. For some time it was thought the man was actually dead. Relays of ball players were employed in working the arms of the prostrate man. After considerable time he began to breathe feebly. When consciousness returned he slowly opened his eyes and remarked: "Has anyone got a cigarette?" "Great Scott," said one of the bystanders. "He has just come from the jaws of death, and now asks for a nail for his coffin."—New York Times. Accounted For. "Phizzer has started up a soda water fountain." "Why, how could Phizzer do that?

Ernie—Yes, he bought a pack of cigarettes. Rodrick—so the car was full of ladies. Was there much standing? Van Albert—I should say so. Some of the ladies were standing on their dignity and the rest were standing on my feet. Handy Feat Mr. Nolan's description of an aerobatic performance was clear enough to any listener, although his excitement over it led his tongue, as usual, into unfrequented mazes of speech. "He was a wonderful man, that man was," said Mr. Nolan to his audience. "You'd see him go up the ladder wid the ind of it in the air and the bottom of it risting on a kind of a sofa plier, an' you'd say: 'There's a man going to his death.' "But was he? Not a bit of it!

During his first term in congress his seat in the house was next one of the aisles. Listening to the debate one day, and half reclining, with both feet halfway across the aisle, he saw Mr. Reed approach on his way to the cloak room. As the ample Maine member drew near, Mr. McCall pulled in his "wauk-inphasts" and remarked: "Mr. Reed, I'll take my feet out of your way." "Oh," drawled Reed, "don't go to all that trouble, Mr. McCall; just take one foot away; that will do." CITY NEWS. Mrs. E. C Barber of 3333 Williams St. is suffering with the chills.

N Walker arrived home last Saturday from an extensive trip through many of the Southern states, and his birthplace, Talladega, Ala. Mr. Walker spent about six weeks at Hot Springs, Ark., during which time he lectured three or four times a week on "African Emigration" and other topics, in fact he lectured about half the time during his absence from Denver and notwithstanding the red hot prejudice that exist in old Dixie and his brimstone language he used in speaking of such prejudice that the whites exercise against the blacks, he was not molested. Mr. Walker is a fearless speaker at anytime and anyplace, and to anybody. In speaking of the conditions of the South he said it was far behind the civilization of today and that the immorality that exists among both races was something beyond description. Whether the colored Elks can have their badges and insignia protected under the same law which protects the emblems of the white lodge, is a question which Secretary of State O'Connor has passed up to Attorney General Dickson. A law enacted by the last legislature provides that secret orders may have their emblems protected from use by those not entitled to wear or display them by filing their insignia with the secretary of state. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, which has white membership only has already filed its insignia. The colored Elks, who belong to the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, and whose insignia is similar to that adopted by the white lodge with the exception of the initials, desire to protect their emblems under this law. The secretary of state has refused to issue them the requisite authority until he has consulted with the attorney general.—The News. Progress of the West End Cafe, owned and Managed by Messrs.

J. H. M. BROWN, President. J. D. D. RIVERS, JUST WHAT FORM OF LIQUID? Would Seem Something Stronger Than Water Was Needed. Coming through the railroad tunnel the other day one of the passengers, a lady strongly opposed to the smoke evil, began an eloquent denunciation of the nuisance to a prominent citizen sitting near. "Do you know," she said, "there is a man living on the street just above this tunnel, and he declares that the smoke is not an annoyance to him at all—in fact, that it is rather conducive to health? Now, what do you think of that?" "Just this, my dear madam," said the prominent citizen, with a twinkle in his eye, "you know that cinders and a little liquid make a very good lye."—Baltimore American. Peerless J. D. D.

So were several other laws, moral as well as legal, before the sale of a pint was consummated. The little chap entered the side door of the saloon and, handing the bartender a pail, lisped out, "Me father wants a pint o' beer." The big bartender took the can and, while still talking with a customer, held it under the tap and handed the receptacle to the boy, who started for the door. "Here, where's the money?" yelled the drawer of beer. "It was in the can," stammered the boy. What the bartender said cannot, of course, be repeated. Down in the mixture of froth, hops and malt he plunged a big and not too clean hand and pawed around the bottom of the kettle. The money consisted of a nickel and five pennies, and the bartender was obliged to dive three times before he got all the coins. Meanwhile he almost exhausted his vocabulary of swear words. When he finally secured all the sunken treasure he almost threw the can at the boy, who grabbed it and ran like a scared deer. —Chicago Inter Ocean. London's Champion Bootblack.

San Diego, Cal.—Two officers of the Chinese crew of the British steamship Maori King, in quarantine, told a horrible story of race riot and mutiny as a result of which six Chinese and two Russians are dead and 200 are more or less dangerously wounded. The sailors who escaped from the ship at quarantine declare that the mutiny was started and prolonged by the action of the commander and his officers in shooting down twenty-five Chinese and throwing their bodies overboard. This the officers deny. The British vice consul, Allen T. Hutchinson, has started an exhaustive investigation. Capt. J. W. Duncan has filed a statement declaring the officers only used their revolvers in defense of their own lives. According to Captain Duncan, the Maori King left Vladivostok April 12th, with 921 Chinese, 417 Russians and a crew of fifty-six Chinese. It appears that a Chinese contractor, Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese on board the ship from the vicinity of Harbin on a promise to land them in San Francisco. When two days out he told them a mistake had been made and the boat would land them at Guaymas, Mexico. On learning of this deception the Chinese broke out in mutiny, chased the officers of the ship into their cabins, attacked those of the Chinese who remained faithful and then started a war on the Russians. Disease broke out among the Chinese, making the situation worse. As they refused to allow the surgeon near them, over 100 died like rats and were thrown overboard. "It was a real hell ship," said First Officer T. S. Vernon, "and I have seen some pretty tough lots in my time. "Just a week ago the propeller shaft smashed through the steel case and it took us two days to repair it. All of this time we were beaten to and fro in a raging storm, the waves washing clear over the decks. But the Chinese and Russians were bent on murdering each other and the battle still went on. "The Chinese rushed at the Russians again and again, cutting and slashing and stabbing. The officers were simply helpless." British Vice Consul Allen Hutchinson has appealed to the military authorities and orders have been received from Washington that as many soldiers as are necessary to quell the mutineers be detailed from Fort Rosecrans. Captain Duncan asks that the United States allow a guard to accompany the Maori King to Guaymas, as the Chinese cannot be landed on this side. Union Pacific Cuts Freight Rates. Reduced freight rates are announced by the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line between Denver and 227 stations on the roads mentioned in the states of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Oregon. The reduction is the result of negotiations between President Charles D. Griffith and Thomas C. Scott, manager of the Colorado Manufacturers' Association. The new schedule will go into effect June 5th and averages a cut of twenty per cent. Manufacturing in this city will be benefited very much, for it will enable the various houses to better compete with outside rivals. Packing house products, which paid a rate of $1 will be carried for 71 cents; glass bottles will pay 45 cents instead of $1.20, as formerly. Other articles affected are: Agricultural implements, bags and bagging, packing house products, bottles, brick, butter, preserves, cornmeal, flour, coal, coke, cotton piece goods, crockery, earthenware, stoneware, cooperage, emigrant movables, dried fruits, bedroom furniture, iron bedsteads, chairs, desks, safes, school seats, window glass, axle grease, all kinds of iron articles, mining machinery, liquors, marble, granite, mineral water, nuts, oilcloth, baking powder, paints, paper bags, wrapping paper, news, tablets, etc., powder, sash, doors and blinds, school books, soap and soap powder, enameled ware, starch, stoves, vinegar, etc. One Hundred Are Drowned. Buenos Ayres.—A dispatch from Montevideo, published here, announces that the French Transport Maritimes cruiser Polton, from Marsellesles April 6th, for this port, has been wrecked off the coast of Uruguay. One hundred of her passengers and crew are said to have perished. $ ^{*} $ It is understood there are 200 passengers on board the vessel, and that her cargo will prove a total loss. The Polton struck thirty yards from the shore at a spot called Rincón de Herrero. Panic broke on board the vessel when she grounded and a great number of terrorized people jumped overboard. Some of them swam ashore, but many were drowned. Customs officers at Rincón de Herrera saved fifty out of the 300 passengers who are said to have been on board. How many others have been saved is not known. Baby Rides Cowcatcher. Engineer Slanson was driving his big locomotive on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad when he saw a flutter of calico out by the pilot of his engine. He looked again and was horrified to see a baby clinging to the cowcatcher bars. Stopping the train he found a little girl, just learning to talk. She had got on at Calamar, Iowa, to take a "buddy 'de," she said. So tight had she held on that though the big engine was going forty miles an hour she seemed perfectly safe. Don't Like Kindel's Persistency. The town of Grand Junction and George J. Kindel have had a falling out, and the town has requested Mr. Kindel to refrain from giving it any more undesirable advertising as regards freight rates. This is what the gingery town on the western slope says to Mr. Kindel: "There is a very general feeling here that your continual display of your chart in all sections and under all circumstances is advertising Grand Junction as the place from which homeseekers should steer clear, because you place her at the very top of the list of high freight rates. "Now, while we have just cause for complaint along this line, we prefer to make this complaint to the railroads and then to the Interstate Commerce Commission, rather than to advertise the mater in all sections from which we draw our immigrants. "We feel that we are justified in this matter because the general conditions here are such that our people can stand excessive rates if they must, and still do better financially than can be done in some of the sections with lower rates. We do not advance this as an argument in favor of our present rates, but to show how this section and people looking for locations for homes may be made to suffer because of the impressions your work in this matter creates. "We would respectfully request that you give some consideration to this feature of your work and in the future give us a little less of this undesirable advertising. Sincerely yours." "D. A. Aupperle, Sec." Mr. Kindel, in a letter to the Grand Junction Chamber of Commemrce, tells that body if his exposition of the transportation situation fails to please it that the facts must be altered. He reminds the residents of that town that he has caused the railroads to reduce freight rates from $1.75 to $1.45 per hundred. He also says that the freight and express rates will soon be reduced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Rough Riders Ready to Fight. Boise, Idaho.-Intimations amounting to orders from the War Department at Washington that the two troops of cavalry at Boise military post shall be kept in readiness for an emergency call have been received here. A visit to the picturesque and ancient post situated just four blocks from the court house where the Haywood trial will be formally called, demonstrated the authenticity of this report. The Boise post is situated in a canon between abruptly rising foothills. Rapid-fire guns mounted on one of these eminences just a step from the county building would enable the gunners to riddle that structure and sweep the street with death without their leaving the government enclosure. A distinct understanding existing between the President and Governor Gooding is to the effect that within the time it would require a message to be transmitted to Washington and orders wired here these rough riders of the mountains would be ready for action. Although there are but 100 men in the two troops, they are for the greater part veterans who have seen service in the Philippines and Cuba. It is considered significant here that these trained men were sent to the local post less than six months ago to relieve details of inexperienced soldiers. Despite these precautions, the state officials insist they anticipate no outbreak of any character during or following the trial. A Texas Cyclone. Mount Pleasant, Texas.—Heavy damage and loss of life was wrought by the tornado which swept northern Texas on the 7th. The towns of Ridgway and Birthright, forty miles west of here, are reported practically destroyed. All wire communication is suspended and details are lacking. Nine people are reported killed in the two villages and vicinity, as follows: Mrs. Brazil and infant. Calvin Tramwell and son. Roy McFall. Several persons were injured by flying debris, among them being Benjamin Pogue, skull fractured; Mrs. Pogue, internally hurt, and Mrs. Joseph Ferguson, injured about the head. Birthright, a town of 500 inhabitants, is reported to have been completely destroyed. Much damage is reported at Caney, a negro settlement. Robbers Hold Up Train. Butte, Mont.—The North Coast Limited, the crack train on the Northern Pacific, was held up early Tuesday morning at Welch's Spur, about fifteen miles east of this city, and the engineer killed. The sheriff's office has just been notified of the robbery and officers are now preparing to leave for the scene. The objects of the robbers, it is presumed, was to secure the contents of the through safe carrying consignments of currency from Seattle, Portland and Spokane, to eastern points. The bloodhounds of the penitentiary will be wired for. This is the fourth time the North Coast eastbound has been held up in three years. The other three times this train was robbed near Bear Mouth, about eighty miles west of here. This holdup is near the scene of the robbery of the Burlington flyer two years ago, in a section of country very rough and mountainous. Eats Stale Fish and Dies. Boulder, Colo.-Mrs. David C. Lyons, aged thirty-two years, wife of the superintendent of the Imperial mine at Rowena, is dead from the effects of stale halibut, which she ate at the noonday meal last Friday. Mrs. Lyons purchased the fish from a local butcher wagon and supposed it was perfectly fresh. Shortly after eating the fish Mrs. Lyons was seized with a violent headache and later with severe abdominal pains. Later she became unconscious, in which condition she died. The body was brought to Boulder and buried this afternoon. Mr. Lyons and his four-year-old daughter also partook of the fish, but were not affected. WHERE WOMAN IS SUPERIOR. Vegetarian Springs a Few Facts on Astonished Companions. "Since the first of the year," he said, "I haven't had a smoke, and I haven't taken a drink." Everybody looked at him with amazement, respect and awe. How strong-willed he must be, they said; how ascetic, how spiritual! It was tremendous. "And yet," said a pale vegetarian, "all women, or at least 99 per cent. of them, maintain this wonderful abstinence their whole life long. Why don't you praise them for it?" With his medicated handkerchief he brushed the sneer from his lips. "We men," he said, "beside women are hogs. We call our women silly; we won't give them the vote; but the average woman lives on a higher plane than the average man. She thinks of nobler things than money-grubbing, drink, tobacco, food. "Did you ever hear your wife growl about the cooking? Did you ever hear of a woman epicure? No; woman is above the hoglike pleasures of the table. She is above such a tobacco and whisky seance as is now going on here." The vegetarian put on his cap of medicated flannel, and, despite the warmth of the night, drew the flannel eartabs over his ears. "Give woman her due," he ended. "She is a finer-fibered, a more temperate, a more spiritual creature, than coarse, gross, hog-like man."—Cincinnati Enquirer. 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. No Criticism to Make. Mrs. Hwfa Williams, the English society leader, talked at a dance in New York about the fashion of riding astride that has taken hold of English equestriennes. "Some of our young women," said Mrs. Williams, "dress out and out like men. They wear a long coat cut like a hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches and top boots. It is a handsome costume and it is not immodest, but undoubtedly it attracts a good deal of attention. They have been telling in London lately a story about an English girl who has adopted this riding rig. Pulling up her horse one afternoon she said to an artisan who was passing: 'Can you tell me if this is the way to Wareham?' "The man looked her over carefully. Then he touched his cap in a respectful manner and replied: 'Yes, miss, yes—you seem to 'ave got 'em on all right.'" A. Fish Story. "Trout protection! Nonsense!" said a gunner of local eminence. "Trout are amply able to protect themselves. Look at their depredations among ducks, for example, and you will agree with me that it's the birds that need protection. It's a common thing for a trout to jump from the water, seize a duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate fowl into the depths sufficiently to leave its feet sticking in the air, where it can get no purchase upon the universe, and thus drown it. Then the trout picks the feathers from the bird, eats it at its leisure and swims away out of the jurisdiction of the courts. Are there any fishermen? None? Too bad. This would be a match for one of their fish stories." Costly Cyclopedia. The revision of the great Korean cyclopedia called Munhon Pigo, which was ordered by the government some months ago, is now completed, and it consists of an edition of 29 volumes, which will be published at an expense of 47,500 yen.—Korean Daily News. FRIENDS HELP St. Paul Park Incident. "After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking Postum. "So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkra.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY Incorporated Stern Laws of Business Come First Says Austrian Court. An interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant, says the American Israelite, discharged a clerk on account of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning because he attended service at the synagogue in order to say Kaddish—the prayer for the dead—for his father. The clerk argued that it was his privilege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the merchant, who was also a religious man, maintained that "if Moses had known that a man had to pay 8,000 gulden a year rent he would have made different laws." The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in favor of the merchant, "because the daily attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer." $100 Reward. $100.

This proves that sleeping is quite as important as eating. The luxury of sound sleep is one of the greatest means given to a man or beast for restoring and invigorating the whole system. No one should allow business or anything else to curtail this luxury, and parents should promote it in children, instead of drumming them out of bed early. Homeopathic Envoy. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. They Go Together. "Henry," said the young wife, who had taken up physical culture, "how do you think I am built?" "My dear," replied her husband fondly, "you are built like a watch." "Thank you Henry. And Henry?" "Well?" "If—if I am built like a watch, don't you think I should have a few jewels?" And then Henry frowned and said the man who compliments a woman is an idiot. With a smooth iron and Defiance starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick, to the iron. Justified. "You are charged with having knocked your wife down, blacking her eyes and loosening two of her teeth. Have you anything to say for yourself?" "She had it comin' to her, yer honor." "What did she do or say that could in any way justify such treatment on your part?" "She said I didn't love her no more." —Houston Post. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

Boulder children between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one may now play pool and billiards upon written permission of their papas and mamas, according to a revised ordinance. And this is "Better Boulder!" John Graybeal, one of the first settlers in this part of the country, died at Pueblo, aged seventy. He had been a resident of Rye, in this county, for forty years, and was known among the ranch and stockmen all over the southern part of the state. Reports from the beet fields in the vicinity of Fort Collins are encouraging. The factory fieldmen, after investigation, believe the damage to the crop so far has been light, and that, unless the weather continues wet and cold, little replanting will have to be done. They believe that if the weather turns warm there will be no damage to the crop. At a meeting of local No. 56, Western Federation of Miners, at Central City, it was unanimously decided to ask an increase of 50 cents for machine men in the mines. The present scale is $3. The increase is not asked to become effective until the first of June. As the demand is reasonable there is no doubt that it will be granted by the operators.

Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly.

Formalities Compiled with, Escape from Hotel Was Easy. In the days before the dawn of his fame it was the practice of a certain well known author to wander up and down the land seeking what he might devour in the way of suggestion and local color. In this way he had drifted down into Arkansas, "roughing it," and not, as he expresses it, presenting an appearance calculated to inspire a hotel proprietor with unlimited confidence. The only hotel in the town, a frame structure, seemed to have been built upon the theory that there was plenty of room straight up, but that ground had to be bought, and the wanderer was shown to a room on the third floor, reached through many narrow and winding passages. From the one window it was a straight drop to the ground. "Say, how would I get out of this place in case of fire?" he asked the landlord, who had brought up his grip. The other eved him coldly. "Wall," he drawled, "all yo' would have to do would be to show their night watchman—the one with their shotgun—a receipted bill foh yo' board an' lodgin', an' get him to tie up their bulldog."-Harper's Weekly. Breaking It to Him Tactfully. "George," she said, when her hubby returned from the office, "I'm afraid baby must have swallowed some money." "Good gracious!" he cried, "don't you know whether he did or not?" "No, but it's the only way I can account for the disappearance of the weekly allowance you forgot to give me this morning." Then she got it—with a little conscience fund addition. Knew It by Heart. "Do you think you could learn to love me?" the young man inquired. "Learn to love you?" exclaimed the rapturous maid.

We got him several books that he asked for, and little by little he took me into his confidence.

It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else.

Evidently to conquer is the privilege of this country—anyway, just now it seems its metier. The world of dress is in arms to receive it, lit- erally up in arms, for every sleeve bears traces of the Japanese in its ex- tensive width and limited length, and all the cloaks hang kimono-wise from the shoulders, while embroidery runs riot on garments of every description. Not necessarily Japaness in design, I | admit, but still the world of fashion | takes immense pride in its embroidery ioe many colors, caring little from | which country its patterns may be in- |spired, and amongst many successes in cloaks I would chronicle one of | black net lined with soft silk and chif- |fon, trimmed with embroideries of many colors, alternating with designs ef cut cretonne, worked round with ribbons and gold thread. A gorgeous garment of much elegance—and much expense. Nearly all of the short-waisted firesses worn last winter were made in « sort of semi-princess style. The bod- ice portion was tight-fitting and the skirt half-corsiet, half princess. Now quite a different outline is in favor; the waist line is placed about three inches higher than it really ought to be, and the skirts are, for the most part, slightly gathered. I am now speaking of afternoon and eyening dresses. Happily for the tailor-made morning, costume, our waists are still permitted to retain their correct place and outline. It is hardly necessary for me to point out that a gathered skirt, ar ranged in a short-waisted manner, is capable of making its wearer decid- edly bunchy. Only an exceptionally slender figure can carry off one of these costumes with perfect grace, and one trembles to think of the possibil- ities of the future. ‘The mitten sleeve is rapidly coming into favor, and Redfern must be given the credit of reviving this charm- ing fashion, and he is now making the best use of it. It is quite surprising to note the rapidity with which this particuiar re- vival has dashed into favor with’ the Parisiennes. A month or two ago the sleeves on all the best dresses were quite short, rarely covering the elbow. Now we are rushing to the other extreme, and are gladly welcoming sleeves which extend well over the wrist. For summer blouses semf-short sleeves will still be very fashionable, but for yoile and crepe de chine dresses we shall adopt sleeves ar- ranged in soft puffs from shoulder to elbow and finished off with a tight un- der-sleeve which extends right over the wrist in a graceful curve. On some of the smart little lace and cloth coatees I have noticed exceed: ingly short sleeves, so short that they only reach half way between the shoulder and elbow. But the intention 1s that these coatees shall be worn over an elaborate blouse which boast: |ed the sléeves which I have described, {the single puffs and tight mitten fall.

Striped materials are very much a la mode this spring. Gauze striped with silk—pekine is the French dress- making term—are the smartest of things, but the reign of striped fab- ‘ries extends through the whole Ust, and fine woolen materials and silks are likewise thus fashionably design- ed. Now, the stripe presents some difficulties to the dressmaker. Well- arranged, nothing can be smarter—ill- placed, nothing more dowdy—than a striped fabric. The morebroken-up the design is, however, the fewer pitfalls are in the path of the cutter’s seis- sors; ana the present fashion in skirts is so much for trimming, or otherwise varying the fall of the lines, that it is comparatively easy to get a chic effect. In many cases, the striped fab- rics are used so as to produce the effect of a trimming; and that this can be readily done is one of the yir- tues of such a material. For exam- ple, you may have a tablier or panels of the same stripes as the rest of the gown, but cut on the cross instead of with the lines running down; or, bet ter still, the trimming or insertion may consist of stripes so cut, and then rejoined as to form a_ series of V-shaped lines. Or yet again, the stripes may run downwards from t waist to the lower third of the skirt, and there a flounce is set on of the same stripes running round the fig ure, slightly gathered on; or maybe g sit % ae <A Py: E/ (si Pea e be La q La) y Y f 4) ae!

There are ever so many variations possible given the fundamental idea, a clever, ingenious modiste to consider the various possi: bilities of the striped fabric. Then, again, what is more easy than these little tricks of cutting? And yet al- most as effective is to run up some of the material with the scissors into strips, and apply these as trimming bands, and stripes, of course, being made to run in a different way from those on the ground to which they are applied. Wide bretelles, with the stripes from edge to edge, and a vest, with the stripes joined herring-bone fashion, suf¥ced (with cuffs at the el- bow matching the bretelles) to trim a blue-and-gray striped muslin and silk model gown; while on the skirt the crosslines of the vest were contin« ued as a tablier; and the sides were cut so as to carry the stripes in a graceful curve round over the hips, and the back of the skirt again fell in straight, long-falling lines. But it ig needless to multiply detailed descrip. tions; you can do anything with stripes at present that will produce @ smart effect; and striped materialg self-trimmed, are making many of gr beat gowgs this spring.

Passing of a Life as Seen by One Who Is Not a Physician—Death Rattle a Shock to ‘leteners. SE eee &), FODOTCCE 0b. ee New York S:n was sitting in one of the rooms of the house surgeon of a hospital in New York city, smoking a cigar and chatting with the doctor while the latter busied himself with looking over some instruments that he had taken from a case. An orderly entered and said: “Doc- tor, I think he is dying now!’ “Are his brother and mother here?” asked the house surgeon. “No, they said they were coming, but they are not here yet.” “It's a case of severe operation,” said the doctor to the reporter. “He took his ether all right and rallied from the shock, but he has been osing ground for two days. Will you ‘come along with me?” Be | ‘The reporter folowed the physician into one of the small rooms devoted to private patients. Lying flat on his back on the par- row iron cot was a young man, per- ‘haps a little more than 30. The bed- clothing was in perfect order. The ‘narrow counterpane was spread smoothly on the cot and folded over, ‘with the sheet across the patient’s chest. : _ His arms lay straight on either sid. His face did not indicate emaci- ation. His breathing was irregular, and there seemed to be a considerable interval, sometimes longer and some- times shorter, between the end of an expiration and the beginning of an inspiration. The orderly stood at the foot of the cot. “How long has he been uncon- scious?” the physician asked. “A little more than an hour,” re- plied the orderly. “Wo may talk,” said the doctor, “he won't ‘hear us.” But this was spoken in a low tone, as befitted speaking in the presence of death. “Does every person die uncon- scious?” he was asked. “Many persons are conscious when they believe they are dying. They become unconscious, and they may or may not regain consciousness and lose it again before death takes place. “A period of unconsciousness is im- measurable to the subject. A second, a minute, a million years—there is no difference so so far as he is con- cerned.” “The death rattle,” whispered the orderly. ‘The intermittent breathing of the man on the cot had given way to a sound that was strange to one not ac- customed to hear it—a sound so far from human that it'is made but once in a lifetime, and that is when one is passing to the other side of the bor- derland of human existence. “Unearthly” is perhaps the one word that comes nearest to designat- ing this sound. Because, maybe, of the silence of the death chamber, it seems loud to ears. not acquainted with it. It seems even, loud enough to be heard through the brick walls and out in the street. ‘The sound ceases, and the watchers turn their eyes toward the face of the physician. It begins again, as if the dead were awakening. “They will not come before he dies,” safd the doctor. “Is he likely to regain conscious- ness, even for a moment?” the phy- sician was asked. “T don’t think so,” was the reply. “May I hold his hand, so that if he does be may feel that he is not alone?” ‘The physician nodded assent. ‘The man’s finger tips seemed very cold to the warm hand that took them.
