Brownsville Case Discussed-Judgement of one Cent in Jim Grow Case-Negro Slaves owned by Negroes-White Brute Receives Sentence-Colored Y.W.C.A. Holds Great Meeting. VOL. XIII. Washing Brownsville Case Discussed—Jud Case—Negro Slaves owned Receives Sentence— Holds Gre Special to Colorado Statesman: A recent session of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference of the African Methodist church was enlivened by an incident growing out of the President's action in the Brownsville affair. Bishop George W. Clinton spoke eloquently in favor of viewing the dismissal with all Christian charity and urging that the executive be given full credit for the very best intentions in the matter. In combatting this position of the Bishop, Rev. Dr. Corruthers spoke forcibly and with much feeling saying in part, "That the colored people will never forget or forgive President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft for discharging without honor innocent colored soldiers, and the colored voters all over the country will vote against the President, Secretary Taft or any other man whom the President may name. He concluded with the statement that every Negro should be willing to cast his vote for Senator Foraker for President. The case of Prof. W. H. H. Hart, who for nearly three years has had a suit pending in the courts of the District, for recovery of damages from the Penna. R. R., growing out of his eviction, under the Jim Crow laws, from a train of the defendant company, has at length been decided. Though the suit was for $30000 and Mr. Hart was awarded by the jury only one cent damages, he, nevertheless has gained a substantial moral victory and deserves the thanks and congratulations of Negroes exerywhere for the plucky fight put up against the most discouraging odds. Mr. Hart was the protege of the late Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, famous as both lawyer and statesman and is himself a lawyer of great ability, an unflinching defender of the rights of his people and has been for many years a Professor of Law in the Howard University Law School. Mr. Hart, in the action just cited took personal charge of the preparation and conduct of his case and won great praise from members of the Bar and citizens generally. Mr. J. J. Wood of Columbus, Ga., in an interesting article in the Enquirer-Sun of that city tells of a number of instances of Negro slaves being owned by Negroes before the war. Among these is the extraordinary case of a well to do Negro woman named Dilsey Pope, who owned her husband, hired him out and had him thrashed too when she thought it was necessary. He says that finnally the husband offended her in some way and she then sold him to the late Col. Seaborn Jones. The very idea of a woman of any race owning her husband by purchase, brings forward any number of possibilities some of which might admirably fit and possibly reform a few of the more than beasts who parade nowadays in human form and too lightly assume so sacred a relationship. Doubtless there were any number of other extraordinary features connected with the old slave period which would be of peculiar interest to the sons and daughters of those who bore their share of the sorrows and hardships of those days. Circumstances, events and incidents which at the time and in the immediate environment of their action appeared but common place but which now would be invested with all the powerful magic of stirring romance and legendary truth. Such things are too good to be lost; too intimately woven with the tragic infancy of a race to be forever put away with the cruel swaddling cloths which oppressed it. An appalling instance of degeneracy was revealed through the trial of a white brute in the criminal court of the District a few days ago. The circumstances briefly are these: This brute was married to a young and beautiful girl of poor though honest family in a suburban town a few months ago. After living on the bounty of the girls folks for some time without any effort to support himself and wife, he induced her to come to Washington with him. But a little while after their arrival, the little money he had brought was exhausted, whereupon he took her upon the street and DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907. forced her initiation through the infliction of the most heartless cruelties into a life of shame and degradation, that the wants of his beastly laziness might be supplied without his personal toil. The Court and spectators were deeply affected and the blush of shame suffused the former's brow when in passing sentence he roundly denounced the offender as an inhuman monster and regretted that the law did not permit him to bestow a more vigorous sentence. He was given eleven month and twenty-nine days at hard labor. Such a fiend as this should have had the punishment frequently and splendidly laid on. A Dilsey Pope would eminently have fitted his case. The second annual meeting of the Colored Young Womens Christian Association was held in the Plymouth Congregational church on the 13 inst., for election of officers and reports of standing committees. Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, the first president was re-elected unanimously. The reports of the committees show a splendid conception of the great need of just such an organization among women for the moral and material uplift of the poor and needy women of the District. Washington forms a natural gateway to the North and many young girls and women, seeking to go further are induced for various reasons, its attractiveness as a home city among the strongest, to halt their journey here. This Association makes an especial effort to look after this class of wayfarers and provide the comforts of home in a decent environment and so aims to afford them the means of escape from the many pitfalls and seductions which might beset them. The temporary home of the association is in the Miner Institute building, a commodious and comfortable structure situated in the southwest section of the city and in the heart of that portion of it which presents the largest opportunities for rescue and missionary work. Sewing classes and girls clubs have been in active operation the past year and many of the destitute have been placed in the way of self support and respectable living. During the heated term of last summer an enjoyable outing was provided by the mothers committee consisting of Mrs. Tyson, Mrs. Bennett, M1s. Paynter, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Sims. Each of these ladies gathered the poor children and mothers in their localities, to the number of fifty, and a day of rare pleasure was had by all on a trip down the river. Street car tickets and the material for a plentiful and substantial lunch were provided through the generosity of business concerns and individuals, while the splendid steamer River Queen was placed at the service of the committee by its philanthropic captain. Other committees are the hope and help, the travellers aid, the household devotional, the educational, the social sentiment and others, all of which have been active along their special lines, looking to promote the general interest and success. The Association is naturally cramped for funds, for our people are not yet sufficiently responsive to the sentiment of charity and do not seem to appreciate the enormous good a small contribution, multiplied many times over, may be to the race, by offering encouragement and assistance to our brothers and sisters who are so sorely in need. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Maris, May 5.—Paul Doumer, ex-President of the French Chamber of Deputies, addressed a large audience at the university here yesterday and gave his impression of his recent trip to America. He said he was almost overpowered at the marvelous material development of the country. Mr. Doumer considered America's greatest perils to be the unchecked influx of emigrants of the inferior races of Europe, the extraordinary fecundity of the Negroes and the diminishing birth rate of original American stock. Duston. La., May 12.—Unknown persons set off some high explosive here under the house of Sam Cook, a Negro, early to-day, blowing the house to pieces and killing Cook and four other Negroes sleeping in the front room. Cook's body was blown about 80 feet away into the fork of a tree. The body of a woman was blown 100 feet or more into the air, falling through the branches of a high tree and snapping the wires of a telegraph line, before it finally struck the ground. The entire town was shaken by the shock. There is no clue to the perpetrators. Little Rock, Ark., May 15.—A jury in the Pulaski Circuit court to-day sustained the will of Peter J. King, a wealthy white citizen of Little Rock. The sisters and brothers of King, who live in Pennsylvania, endeavored to break the will, because practically all of the property is left to the Negro relatives, and Charles B. King, a Negro, is named as one of the executors. Charles B King, a Negro son, was left property in Little Rock and Argenta. Sam B. King, another Negro son was left property in this city, while their mother was given a home and $6,000 in money. Out of the $20,000 life insurance which he carried King left $2,000 each to seven white relatives. "It is interesting to note," says Mrs. Fannier Barrier Williams of Chicago, "the surprise and disappointment of white men because colored men win their way to success in untried situations. They seldom fail when given a fair chance in the race of life. In this great city there are colored men who are quietly and unobtrusively doing things that they were never expected to be able to do. There are book-keepers, expert accountants, electricians, engineers and draughtsmen. Colored men are to be found among the highest paid men in the stockyards and indeed almost every trade. In other words the Afro-American is efficient. In fact he is really growing in efficiency more rapidly than there are opportunities. Though he is not wanted anywhere in these higher callings, yet in spite of even organized opposition, he is all the time unexpectedly slipping through the half closed door of opportunity, and once in, he quickly and easily proves himself able to do whatever other men are able to do. The proof is everywhere accumulating that the race is continually rising higher than its opportunities." BROWNSVILLE CASE. Washington, May 20.—Three members of the Brownsville, Texas, police force, were questioned to day in the investigation being conducted by the senate committee on military affairs. All testified concerning the incidents attending the Brownsville affray, and all became somewhat confused under cross-examination by Senator Foraker, when he called attention to discrepancies between their stories today and those told on the stand on a previous occasion. Policeman Victorino Fernandez testified that he heard the shooting and as he ran down from his home he was summoned to the Tillman saloon, where he found the bartender lying dead. He gave it as his opinion that the man had been killed by Negro soldiers. He said he had seen no soldiers that night, as most of the shooting was over before he got down town. Senator Foraker called attention to the testimony before the citizens' committee in Brownsville two days after the affray, when Fernandez and told a vivid story of having been chased by two Negro soldiers who fired several shots at him. He denied that he had given such testimony, and as a result Senator Foraker gave him and uncomfortable hour and told him he would want him back on the stand at another time. NO. 35. DON'T PROCRASTINATE. DON'T PROCRASTINATE. EDITOR COLORADO STATESMAN: DEAR SIR:—It was a happy thought of yours to publish my article of May 11th under the caption of "Get Busy." I can well remember 20 years back when I first arrived in Denver how the old timers used to tell me that they could have bought lots around the spot where the capital building now stands for from $50 to $200 each. They were not BUSY then or they would be selling those same lots now for $1,000 more each. I was also told of land around Elitch's garden and Orchard Place that could have been bought for $5 and $10 per acre. That land now sells for $1,000 and $2,000 per acre. Now those of our race who would "get busy" must look elsewhere than close to Denver for land for we are crowded out and can only talk of what used to be. Now let us all get busy lest 20 years hence we have to tell the story of what could have been done in the way of purchasing land within 75 miles of Denver. The interurban lines now under construction will bring land 75 miles from Denver nearer to Denver than Montclair was 20 years ago. Let us get busy and look well to our interests lest we get pushed entirely off the face of the earth, for all other races are very busy gobbling up Colorado lands. Let's not be "smug" men. Respectfully, O. T. JACKSON, Boulder, Colo. SUPREME COURT DECISION SUPREME COURT DECISION Washington, May 20.—Grave apprehension is felt in the war department that the Supreme court of the United States has invalidated the statue of every regular army officer who has held at the same time a volunteer commission, and has also invalidated the legality of the proceedings of every court-martial of a volunteer officer or enlisted man, on which has sat an officer holding both regular and volunteer commissions. The court last Monday handed down an opinion declaring invalid the court-martial of Lieutenant Lewis E. Brown, a Negro volunteer officer, who was tried and dismissed from the service in Cuba. The court-martial was invalidated because an officer of the regular army, who was also a volunteer officer, sat on the court. Under the decision, Brown will be entitled to draw his pay until the date of the mustering out of his regiment and the expiration of his commission.

Some Pretty Ideas For Seasonable Garments In Either Silk or Lace—The Effect of a Soft Tie. The lace blouse, everywhere recog nized as marvelously economical, still is kept outside of the range of commonness by new ideas in its selection and treatment. Instead of the overworked way of bringing it into harmony with the skirt by means of ribbon bretelles and girdle, it now is threaded with ribbon, either soft velvet or with silk cut bias, and hemmed with the narrowest roll possible. This silk drawn through and either knotted like a tie or having the ends simply pendant in front is charming it has fringe knotted into them and any pretty, rich decoration of embroidery stitches added. The velvet is finished off with clusters of loops like rosettes and sometimes will be started half way down the back and threaded over the shoulders, ending with the rosettes at just that point on the bust which will bring the long line from the shoulder down to the turn of the figure, now raved over by dressmaker artists. Or the soft tie will be set around under the arms like the finish of a bolero, drawing it up as it reaches the front and leaving the ends to hang to the waist. Another way is to thread it around the shoulders in the line of a bertha, although this only can be done when there is a long shoulder seam. The largest meshed laces are in demand for this pretty fashion, another form of which is carried out with gold ribbon laid over a backing of cloth like the skirt. Economical and pretty for evening petticoats are those of white net greatly beribboned. They are easily cleaned and even washable and are equally pretty to wear with smart afternoon frocks and any second season white silk or brocade petticoat can be easily rejuvenated by its owner with flouces of thick net trimmed with wash insertion to match or with wash ribbon. What everybody does not know is that faille, the new silk standby for blouses will wash with great success in the white and if care is taken even in the pink and pale colors. An exquisite blouse of this silk has shoulder tabs and corresponding tab coming out from under the stock in front of the material, edged with real baby Irish lace an inch wide. These tabs are embroidered with large disks of white silk, which also appear with the lace on the cuffs of the short sleeves. This blouse, which, by the way, is copied from a famous waistmaker's model, is tastefully worn by its owner with white pearl beads and an extremely long bar pin of the same Roman pearls, set so as to conceal all of the structure and to stand out in unspoiled whiteness like the string of beads. ew Hints on Frying. ever is to be fried must be as dry as possible and not much fried at a time, or the fat will be cooled. The idea is to have the fat sufficiently hot to immediately close up the surface of the meat, fish or whatever is to be cooked, so that the fat does not soak into it and make it greasy. If many pieces of cold food are put into the kettle of fat at one time the temperature will be lowered so much that they may absorb fat and even fall to pieces. As soon as the food is browned it should be removed from the fat and drained on soft paper before serving. Dry frying or frying with very little fat is not to be recommended when the above method can be used, but it is necessary for such things as sausages, bacon and pancakes. One kind of fat or one kettle of fat is sufficient for all kinds of frying. Dainty doughnuts may be fried in the same fat and at the same time with oysters or fish, providing the person frying is 'an intelligent cook. An apple is not required when rendering the suet. Roll out rich pie crust very thin, cut in small squares, chop a few pecan nuts and then strips of lemon peel, add sugar to taste and a little fruit juice; place a teaspoon of this on each square, and roll up like jelly roll; bake until the pastry is done. Other nuts and orange peel can be used in place of pecans. Needed a Policy.

SALOON TO EVERY MILE POST Editor Ferguson Returns From Panama and Tells Some Very Vivid Stories of Misdouls by Government Employes. That young American girls are held in slavery in disorderly houses in the Panama canal zone is the charge made by William P. F. Ferguson, editor of the Defender, a New York Prohibition paper, who addressed the weekly meeting of the Methodist ministers in Denver recently. As a result of his disclosures, there is developing a movement of protest that will reach Washington in a short time, backed by the churches of the entire country. Ferguson spent a month on the isthmus looking into conditions of vice, and his charges are summed up as follows: Land owned by the government is leased to owners of disorderly houses, with full knowledge of the purposes for which the property is used. Such places are in control of a syndicate of Americans and Panamians, who make a business of procuring young girls from the states. One of the largest places of this description on the isthmus is owned by the son-in-law of the Panamian governor of Colon. One of the leading officials of the panama railroad, which is owned by the United States, has just completed a three-story building in Colon, which is used for immoral purposes. "Conditions on the isthmus are shocking," said Mr. Ferguson. "Secretary Taft, in reply to the arraignment of Poultney Bigelow some time ago, said there were no immoral houses in the canal zone. That was true only as far as public places are concerned. I found in my investigation that there were many such dens run under cover, but with the knowledge of the authorities. Outside of the canal zone the wide-open policy prevails, and I can scarcely paint the horrible picture. Vice runs rampant. I saw American girls who are practically held in slavery by a syndicate, which is composed of Americans and Panamians. In more than one town I found such places immediately adjoining school houses." "Land owned by the government is under lease, to owners of these dens, and in some cases officials connected with the government are interested in them. For example, an official of the Panama railroad has just finished a three-story house in Colon, which is being used as a disorderly house. "In the canal zone there is an average of one saloon to every milepost, the number being fifty. There were 102 saloons, but the number has been cut down arbitrarily one-half, but there are still too many. "The saloons are the only loafing place for the Americans employed in building the canal, the government clubhouses not yet being completed." Farmers Object to Tailings. Colorado Springs, Colo.—An injunction suit and actions for damages are imminent against the various reduction mills of Colorado City because of the dumping of thousands of tons of tailings daily in Fountain creek. The farmers of Fountain valley between Colorado Springs and the town of Fountain have banded themselves together for protection. Their contention is that the cyanide and other chemical solutions are slowly but surely killing the crops and turning thousands of acres of fertile land into a desert. They also contend that the mill tailings, which consist wholly of pulverized granite, contain no plant food, and is also ruining the land. They claim that the sediliment completely fills their ditches in twenty-four hours, and just now, when water is badly needed, they cannot get water on their land. A conference is being held with the mill managers, and if this should not prove satisfactory, the farmers say they will immediately appeal to the courts. Here Is Home Rule! Mellette, S. D.—The husbands and fathers of Mellette have arisen in revolt against the game of bridge whist and have passed an ordinance making it a misdemeanor for any woman to play the game, imposing a punishment of from $20 to $100 fine and several days in jail. The men declare their women folks are so infatuated with bridge that they are neglecting their house hold duties. Mothers have even slighted their babies to play bridge, and their husbands receive no attention at all. The women are angry over the passage of the ordinance. They say they have as much right to pass the time playing bridge whist as the men have to play poker. The town marshal so feared the wrath of the women that he resigned. Life Imprisonment for Maynard. Alliance, Neb.—The jury in the case of Roy Maynard, a Denver boy who shot and killed Roy B. Barnes, proprietor of the Burlington eating house, here last winter, returned a verdict of life imprisonment. The trial began Friday afternoon and the case was given to the jury Saturday night. It was alleged by Barnes that Maynard, who had been working for him, tapped the till and he refused to pay Maynard nine days' wages which was due him. After discharging Maynard, Barnes attempted to eject him from the place, whereupon Maynard opened the door and shot Barnes three times, instantly killing him. Made a Face and is Jailed. Berlin.—A tipsy laborer named Bruenning, who one morning last November put out his tongue at the Kaiser as his majesty went past in an automobile, has just been condemned to nine months' imprisonment. So Declares Senator Borah, Who Believes Orchard Is Guilty of Murder. Boise, Idaho.—Harry Orchard will hang for the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, but the date of his execution is sometime in the remote future. While Jack Simpkins remains at large the life of Orchard is secure. Until the former member of the Western Federation executive board is brought to trial Orchard will continue the enjoyment of life and the large measure of liberty permitted him in the state penitentiary. "I would consider that the blood of Frank Steunenburg stained my hands also if I consented to anything less than the death penalty for Orchard," said Senator Borah to-day, when asked concerning the report that Orchard was to be set free after the trial of Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone. But Senator Borah followed this impressive declaration with the statement that Orchard was to be saved to give testimony against Jack Simpkins. Notwithstanding Governor Gooding's avowal that no promise of immunity has ever been made to Orchard, and the smiling corroboration of this oft-repeated statement made by the person most interested himself, there is still a feeling that will not down that the state will take care of Orchard. This impression is given strength by the announcement of Senator Borah that Orchard will be saved until Simpkins is captured. THE BOOSTERS BEGIN TO BOOST. The First Excursion of Denver Business Men Strarts Out. Denver.—One of the most expensive railroad tickets ever issued by a Denver ticket office was made out by the Union Pacific for Thomas C. Scott, secretary of the Colorado Manufacturers' Association. It was delivered to Mr. Scott by E. J. Tuttle, city passenger agent for the Union Pacific, and J. C. Ferguson, general agent. The ticket was about a yard long and cost $3,755. In addition to that Mr. Scott paid over $1,200 Pullman fare. The ticket was for 100 people, and represents the number which left on the big excursion of the Colorado Manufacturers Association to the Black Hills country. The Twenty-first infantry band from Fort Logan, headed by Charles W. Graven, the bandmaster, joined the boosters in Denver. Alfonso Rio Cristine, Etc. Madrid.—Alfonso, prince of the Austrias, was baptized in the private chapel of the royal palace in the presence of the royal family, the state and court officials, the representatives of the foreign powers and a host of grandes. The pope was represented by Cardinal Rinaldini, King Edward by Prince Arthur of Connaught, Emperor William by Prince Leopold of Hohenollern, Emperor Francis Joseph by Archduke Eugene of Austria, and King Charles of Portugal by the Duke of Oporto. The greatest watchfulness has been exerted over the baby prince since the hour of his birth, special guards having been stationed outside the bed chamber, for Spanish custom does not permit any possibility of a change being foisted on the nation. The task of the watchers was not over till the infant became the central figure of the brilliant scene. The ceremony of giving the names to the royal child was only of short dura-Cristine Eduardo Francisco Guilermo Cristine Eduardo Francisco Guilermo Carlos Enrique Fernande Antonio. Buffalo Bill Stands Pat. New York.—In further pursuance of his investigation into the Howard Gould separation case, and the alleged use of the central office detective bureau by Howard Gould against his wife, Commissioner Bingham personally visited Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) in Brooklyn. The commissioner asked Buffalo Bill to give him the names of the detectives who visited him in the guise of emissaries of Howard Gould. Cody said these detectives had first visited him in Denver, where he was offered $10,000, and later $25,000, if he would make certain statements concerning Mrs. Gould. Subsequently, when he reached this city, other detectives visited him at the Hoffman house and endeavored to get him to do virtually the same thing. He told Bingham he had referred these men to his lawyer. Seldon Bacon, but he could not remember their names. The commissioner was told that he might ask Mr. Bacon for the names of the sleuths and that Cody was quite willing they should be given. Mrs. Eddy Protests. Concord, N. H.—A letter from Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy to Judge Robert N. Chamberlain, who is to preside at the term of court at which the suit of Eddy vs. Frye is entered, was filed in the Superior Court. The letter says: "It is over forty years that I have attended personally to my secular affairs, to my income, investments, deposits, expenditures and my employees. I have personally selected all my investments except in one or two instances, and have paid for the same. "The increasing demand upon my time, labors and thought, and a yearning for more peace and to have my property and affairs carefully taken care of for the persons and purposes I have designated by my last will, influenced me to select the board of trustees to take charge of my property. "The suit was brought without my knowledge, and is being carried on contrary to my wishes. I feel that it is not for my benefit in any way, but for my injury, and I know it was not needed to protect my person or property." Minister Conger Dead. Pasadena, Cal.—E.H. Conger, former minister of China and later ambassador to Mexico, died here May 18th. Daily for a week Mr. Conger had grown weaker, and it was known that he had but a few days to live. The family was at his oediside when the end came. Chronic dysentery was the direct cause of death.

SENATOR BEN TILLMAN, the wild man from South Carolina, is taking a vote after his lectures now, on the proposition: ‘*Is the Negro the equal of the white man?’’ Usually the white audience votes ‘*No,”’ and if Negroes are present, they vote ‘*Yes.’’ But if the white audience is of the superior, cultured kind, as was one in New England, it re- fuses to vote at all, But the experience must convinee even Ben Till- man that the Negro is coming. Not long ago he would not have thought of submitting such a question to the vote of a white audience. The negative verdict is probably balm to his bourbon soul, but it really shows how bitter and narrow some people can be. As a matter of fact, the Negro is above such superficial and insane controversy. UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS. THE Rev. Doctor Coyle of Central Presbyterian Church, undoubt- edly meant something when, in the discussion of the above subject in a recent sermon, he included the entire Negro race of America among the undesirables; but just what he meant is not exactly clear. President Roosevelt’s startling and injudicious remark concerning the Idaho miners on trial for murder gave the Rey. Mr. Coyle his theme, and out of a general population he particularized a long array of classes which to him or somebody having superior proprietorship of title to the country’s liberties, are persona non grata. His indiscriminate mix- ture of Bible martyrs with modern characters of utterly opposite classes causes a confused understanding of the minister’: meaning, but according to published reports of his sermon his attacks upon the latter were unqualified and vicious. Concerning Negroes, he is reported to have said: “There are 10,000,000 black people in the United States, and I wish to say nothing unkind or nothing extravagant, but they are un- desirable, It was a great injustiee—a most flagrant wrong—it was the greatest mistake ever made in the statesmanship of any country—when the Negroes were enfranchised. ‘They know nothing of citizenship, no more than a five-year-old child; they are weak, dense, unreliable, grossly passionate, and of an inferior race.” As a pulpit expression the above strikes us as extremely shocking. Where a minister of the gospel finds warrant for a sociological assault upon conditions apparently ordained by powers that control the des- tinies of people and of nations, is difficult to conceive. In slavery times the same kind of ministers preached the desirability of slavery and found warrant for it in the Bible. But in this day, in the greater light of truth and justice, Christianity gives no license to any man to preach against the opportunity, welfare and enlightenment of the weak and helpless. If, in Doctor Coyle’s opinion, it was such an unpreee- dented mistake to enfranchise the Negroes, then in like ecclesiastical judgment it was wrong also to emancipate them. Does Dr. Coyle long for the good old days of master and slave to return? Was this reverend sociologist born in the South and nursed by a ‘‘black mammy,”’ and did the nature of the ‘‘master class’? cling to and dominate his whole con- ception of Christ and Christian ideas? - But to whom are the Negroes and all the other enumerated low standard classes undesirable? To those who assume greater right of “‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’’ And the expression of that assumption carries with it a hint of justification for oppression, persecution and endless wrong. The many hard conditions which nat- urally fall to the Negro’s lot are not enough; the priests must exhort the rabble to drag him to Pilate’s court with the ery of ‘* Crucifix him!’” But upon the question of merit and human worth, are the Negroes really undesirable citizens? For three hundred years they were im- ported by those who thought their labor desirable, at least. For three centuries they gave their brawn and their lives in the upbuilding of this Nation. When, after these centuries of unrequited toil, emanci- pation came, and after events thrust citizenship upon them, the ward- ship of the Nation ceased, and they began caring for themselves, As a people they are earnest, industrious and progressive; they are slowly but surely acquiring education and wealth; they are peaceful, loyal and law-abiding. Their presence in America or on earth has no ex- planation outside of divine providence. In the light of truth and of justice and of worth—why are the Negroes undesirable citizens?

The issues which most directly concern us haye grown out of the discharge without honor of the Negro troops charged with shooting up the town of Brownsville, Texas, last year, and they have become issues beeause one of the prominent eandi- dates for the Republican nomination is the secretary of war who helped to clinch that unjust and disgraceful verdict against the black men, many of whom had spent the greater part of their lives in the hard, dangerous and defensive service of their country. There are very few Negroes who believe that President Roosevelt did right when he thus punished the black soldiers against whom no crime had ever been proved, and upon evidence which upon its face was biased and irregular, and which could not have been admitted and sustained either in a civil court or before a regularly constituted court martial, No loyal Negro is sat- isfied with that verdict, and in the light of later events, particularly the searching investigation made by the Senate committee on inilitary affairs, which have brought out nothing but doubt of the soldiers’ guilt and suspicion of conspiracy against them, there is widespread and unal- terable determination that the wrong against the soldiers and the cor- responding dishonor put upon our race should be undone. ‘To Senator Woraker of Ohio is due the greatest credit that the Negroes’ side of this affair has been brought prominently before the country, but because his duties in the premises compelled him to battle against the President, the secretary of war and their followers, he hasnow become the target against which the administration is hurling its deadliest shafts. Senator For- aker’s record has placed his name among those who may be considered available candidates for the presidency, while the cirewnstance that Seeretary Taft has obediently upheld all of the mistakes and some of the virtues of President Roosevelt, has made the head of the War De- partment the choice of the administration for the nomination in the next national convention. It is not usual in the United States for a retiring President to desire to dictate his successor, but in this instanee it is claimed that President Roosevelt has instituted great natonal policies reaching far into the future, and whose successful continua- tion depends upon the choice of a president of the same mind, type and mould. It must be admitted that the Nation’s founders, however wise they have been heretofore conceded, did not make proyision in the Constitu- tion for the ambitions of a president running beyond his term of office. It was never conceived by them that one man might institute such great works that he, rather than the Nation, would be justified in naming his successor. ~ They did fear that the dictation of one man beyond two terms of office would result in evils dangerous to a republic. But it is the con- tinuance of those policies which sow injustice, inequality and oppro- brium to which the Negro objects. Whether these were established poli- cies or errors upon the part of the President it is difficult to determine, for his stubborn impetuosity vives the color of policy even to his er- rors; but Secretary Taft's endorsement of them has been deliberate, obedient and unequiyoeal, In spite of his mistakes, there is much in President Roosevelt that Negroes can admire and esteem; but there is nothing to admire in a man who deliberately copies and endorses those errors with the notion of being elevated to the presidency. b This opinion is manifest among Negroes of intelligence and in- fluence in all parts of the country. In the South where administrative policies have greatest weight upon the affairs of colored men, it wil! undoubtedly be the dominant principle with the majority of delegates coming thence to the next national Republican convention. It is a prin- ciple which involves the rights, the welfare and the manhood of the Negro throughout the Nation, und to such a prineiple the Negro cannot afford to be indifferent. It may not be that Senator Foraker is the choice of the Republicans of the country for their next presidential can- didate, though no other man would so largely command the confidence of colored voters; but if ciremnstances should eliminate him from the race, the chance of final suecess at the polls will demand that no sus- picion of subserviency to diseriminative and unfair racial policies shall taint the character of the man upon whom the honor of the nomination shall fall. > oe tt bebe ht hehehe bebe he be bebed [gare , =<w—| | THE MAY co. | | —— =a, | PHENOMENAL 3 DAY BARGAIN CARNIVAL WE OFFER RADICAL PRICE CON.

Phe sromen who smoke will always be in an in- Why Wonen Should significant minority. ‘Those who persist in tha Hot Smoke use of tobacco do so only because they have sue- SF corded in overcoming stinets of their sex. _ eI Now and again a youn girl will smoke a cigarette or two merely out of a spirit of bravado, to amuse a brother, to annoy a friend, or to defy a parent. She smokes from a spirit of sheer “cussedness.” Sensible women are quite well aware that their greatest charm in the eyes of men is the rather negative one of being the very antithesis of the ‘male sex. Man has always been inclined to raise the fairest among women on a pedestal, and to worship her as a sort of superior being, before whom it is his privilege and his pleasure to grovel. He likes to look up to some one who moves on a moral plane superior to his own, and is sublimely innocent of all those little self-indulgencies which are yenial enough in him, but vicious in the opposite sex. When he finds those lips that used to breathe poetry and romance exhaling only the too familiar fumes of cheap tobacco, he discovers that the fair being whom he idealized, and almost idolized as a goodess, is no more perfect than himself. Vainly does she repent her fault in sackcloth and cigarette ashes. She has lost forever her place on the pedestal. Prudent women foresee this danger of disillusion, and shun the cigarette like the plague. It is really a phase of the great instinct ofiself-preservation that keeps ae majority of women from cultivating the cigarette habit. After all, a woman’s face is her fortune. She must keep her good looks at all costs. Her complexion must be preserved by fair means or face-powders. The action of tobacco-smoke is both directly, by its effect on the skin, hair, eyes, nostrils, throat and lungs, and indirectly by its results on the lips,, teeth, heart, optic nerves, digestive organs, and nervous system generally, destructive of true womanly beauty. Amongst the direct effects of tobac: co-smoke (and these are the more marked when women smoke in com- pany) are injury to the complexion by the mechanical action of the smoke on a delicate skin; irritation and redness of the eyelids, accompanied by watering of the eyes; injury to the hair oecasioned by the fine dust of tobacco in combustion settling in the scalp; nasal and bronchial catarrh, due to the inhalation of smoke; anaemia, arising from the breathing of carbonic oxide and poisonous gases evolved during the combustion of tobacco. The indirect results of smoking are loss of the natural rosy. hue of the cheeks and lips, dark staining of the teeth, unpleasant breath, disturbances of the circulation, palpitation of the heart, biliousness, indi- gestion, and the rashes and blotches of the skin that so often accompany it. Other results might be mentioned. but these mush suffice as samples. The reasons already adduced as to why women should not smoke are sufficiently cogent. But there is another, and a paramount one. The majority of healthy women are destined to become wives, mothers or, at least, aunts, nurses or guardians in some other capacity of the chil- dren of the race. This motherly instinct is so strong in most women, that they, too, when in charge of, or in company with children, do not dream of indulging in tobacco. And in this way any latent craving that may exist in the sex for the solace of tobacco is killed, or, at any rate, denied anything like universal gratification amongst’ women. . Fifty years ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “We are students of words! We are shut up in schools and colleges and recitation rooms from ten to fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a mem- ory of words and do not know a thing, we cannot use our hands, or legs, or our eyes or our arms.” The industrial schools needed to-day to supplement the existing public schools should receive pupils 14 to 15 years of age who declare their intention to leam a trade, and would therefore be parallel to the existing high schools, but independent of them. Such schools would offer a course of siudy covering four years, ‘The first two years would comprise general shop instruction with related drawing, mathematies, natural science, the history of industry and com- merce, shop and business English and the reading of appropriate articles and books. The last two years would give shop instruction for particular trades, and for each trade represented, the drawing, mathematics, physics, chem. istry of that trade, the history of that trade, treated both as speaial his- tory and as a branch of general history, civics treated as concretely as possible, and English as before, ay = Why Women Should Hot Smoke Need of Industrial Schools é Paee Foul a.

The Western Loan & Investment Association at its annual meeting last Tuesday evening at the office of the COLORADO STATESMAN 1824 Curtis street, elected the following directors for the ensuing year: H. J. M. Brown, E. D. Fountain, George A. McCullough, L. C. Connell, Jos. D. D. Rivers. Acquitted. In the Republican of Saturday the 18th appears an article with the headline "Nolle Prosequi in charge of Murder." Then follows the statement that deputy District Attorney Benson enters the order in the case when he found the evidence insufficient to convict the Negro William White who was on trial. The entire article is misleading and evidently written for that purpose, as well as to boost and glorify the prosecuting attorney and give him cridit for a result that does not belong to him. He is held up as so just and generous that he could not permit the trial to proceed "when he had all his case in." Not one word is said about the defense or the attorney who conducted it to a successful issue. Mr. Benson's case was practically all in at the coroner's inquest which he conducted. It was stronger then than it ever was after that proceeding because the testimony was all ex parte. Yet the verdict of the coroner's jury was that Johnson, the deceased, was killed by parties or party unknown. The trial in the West Side criminal court consumed nearly two full days and was strenuously and stubbornly contested at every stage by Lawyer Joseph H. Stuart, who represented the defendant by appointment of court. Not a stone was left unturned by the prosecution, not a resource in fact or in law that seemed to promise success untried. But Mr. Stuart was ready, alert and foiled and defeated the prosecution at every point. The trial proceeded to the end, the court delivered his instructions to the jury and nothing further remained to complete the case but the argument of counsel and the verdict of the jury. This last act the prosecuting attorney, after a recess of two hours, prevented by asking that a nole prosequi be entered. It was a motion unheard of at such a stage of the case, and was resisted by defendant's counsel, who asked the court that the jury be ordered to return a verdict of acquittal, which was seen to be inevitable. But the other order which was granted kind of saved the face of the prosecution. Mr. Stuart said the effect was the same and it was merely the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee.

Raines was born in the city of Greeville, Miss., March 13, 1885. He finished from the high school of Greenville at 15 years of age. From early childhood he had an inclination to study medicine. He finished the Normal course at Knoxville college, of 3 years in 2 years, graduating with high honors in 1902. He began the study of medicine at Meharry Medical college in Nashville, Tenn. in the fall of 1903. Here he attended two years. In the Summer of 1905 he came West DR. S. L. RAINES. on a prospecting trip and after investigating the great clinical advantages offered by the medical schools in this city he decided to enter the Denver and Gross Medical college. He had considerable work to carry extra on account of the variation in the curriculums of the two schools. He was the only colored in a class of 29, and finished with a very creditable mark. He has had considerable hospital work, having had 2 years in Mercy hospital, Nashville, Tenn., 2 years in the Provident Sanitorium in Clarksdale, Miss., which is owned and controlled by his brother, Dr. C W. Raines, and 2 years in the city and county hospital of this city. He also attended various clinics held at St. Lukes, St. Anthony, Mercy and St. Josephs hospitals. Dr. Raines received recognition at the graducting exercises and also at the banquet given at the hotel Savoy. Dr. Raines passed the state board of medical examiners, being the first colored doctor to secure a license by actual examination. He made a very high mark before the board and will locate in Colorado. Good Words for the Negro. Speaking of the utterances made by Dr. Coyle of Central Presbyterian church regarding the Negro, J. W. Hudston, cashier of the Denver National Bank, said in his sermon last Sunday a the Church of the Redeemer: "I cannot understand what induced him to say what he did. It was entirely uncalled for, and I am sure he does not understand the Negro. I do not understand them, and I have been in close touch with them for some time. I think he should have discriminated, for there are plenty of white people who are worse than thousands of Negroes. "I have found the Negroes reliable, grateful and ready to learn. People should know what they are talking about before they speak. I do not intend to answer Dr. Coyle, for I think he should be answered by a brother of the cloth rather than a layman, as he made that statement before his congregation and from his pulpit.

His first job was to carry several heavy planks. After he had been at it for about two hours he had been at the foreman and said: "Did Ah tell ye ma name when I started to work?" "Yes," replied the foreman, "you said it was Tomson." "Oh, then it's a' right," said the Scot, as he looked toward to the pile of planks he had yet to carry. "Ah was jist a-winnerin' if ;ou thocht Ah said it was Samson." Good Evidence. One Sunday morning recently the pastor of a church remarked to his wife, upon returning from service: "Mary, there was a stranger at service this morning." "What did he look like?" asked the wife. "I don't know, for I didn't see him." "Then how did you know that he was a stranger." "Because I found a dollar in the contribution box," replied the pastor.

THE PLATTNER IMPLEMENT CO. 1612-1618 15th St. Denver, Cole WORTHAMILLION MARY BAKER EDDY HAS MANY BEAUTIFUL HOMES. HER FORTUNE IS IN BONDS Affidavit by Trust Company Official Says Founder of Christian Science Faith Invested in Government Bonds. Par value of bonds.....$788,770.00 Due on promissory note ... 50,000.00 Due on three bank books.. 8,614.64 Alfred Farlow's estimate of Total. $985,384.64 Bond filed by Mrs. Eddy's trustees to represent value of her taxable property. $500,000.00 Concord's assessor's assessment. 269,850.00 Last year's assessment 54,850.00 Concord, N. H.-Mary Baker G. Eddy, high priestess of Christian Science, is worth nearly $1,000,000, according to a total of figures filed in an affidavit relative to her personal property, added to Alfred Farlow's valuation of her real estate, $88,000. In actual figures, this total is $985., 384.60. This is the first close figure of her riches—no longer a secret. Taking it for granted that the bond of $500,000 filed by the three trustees to whom Mr. Eddy recently made over her property represented twice the value of her taxable property, the Concord assessor this year assessed Mrs. Eddy's property at $269,850, practically five times as great as last year, when she was assessed for $54,850. George A. Foster, the assessor from Ward 7, said that inasmuch as no return had been made of Mrs. Eddy's taxable property to the Board of Assessors, he had gone on the assumption that the bond of her trustees was about twice the value of her estate and fixed the assessment accordingly. Of the total of $335,384.64, the value of the real estate holdings here and in Boston is, at the far low estimate, $88,000. Her Pleasant View home here alone is worth anywhere from $35,000 to $40,000, while her residence standing at 387 Commonwealth avenue stands her at least $25,000 to the good. The remalnder of her riches are contained in bonds and securities locked up in the vaults of the Loan and Trust Savings Bank of this city and worth a grand total of almost $800,000, as disclosed by the affidavit file. In this affidavit, filed by Fred N. Ladd, treasurer of the Loan and Trust Company, cath is taken that on the afternoon of March 6th of this year Mrs. Eddy had in his institution bonds worth $778,770, to be exact. He says he and the trustees—the same trustees who put up a bond of a half million—went to the bank and saw these securities for themselves. Fear Dam Isn't Safe. Marshall, Colo.—A mass meeting of the citizens of Marshall and vicinity was held in Marshall to consider the report of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to investigate the safety of the dam being constructed by the Denver Land and Reservoir Company at Marshall lake. The engineer, R. T. Richardson of Longmont, submitted a report of his investigation and his opinion is that the dam was safe at the present capacity, but that if a severe cloud burst or wind storm should occur the structure might be very unsafe. An attempt was made last night to induce State Engineer T. W. Jaycox to come up and examine the dam personally, but he refused to do so, claiming that his deputies had been here on May 10th and had submitted evidence to him which would substantiate the theory that the dam was safe at the present time. The mass meeting seemed to be dissatisfied with his report, and a committee was appointed, consisting of Frank W. Fehlman, chairman; George Hogan and Timothy Shannaghan, who will go to Denver to investigate the specifications, quantity of storage water, etc., which are on file with the state engineer, and to use all means in their power to get him to come here and examine the dam and report to the people. A feeling of unrest seems to be among a good many miners here, and there was some talk of a strike being inaugurated, but no definite action was taken. Mr. Bryan Takes Exception. Lincoln, Neb.—William J. Bryan takes pointed exceptions to a press telegram emanating from Lincoln in which an anonymous "friend," pretending to speak for him, represents that he would not accept a nomination from the Democritus in 1908 if Roosevelt were named by the Republicans and that Bryan favored giving Roosevelt a clear track. While declining to make any statement as to his own intentions, he dictated the following repudiation of the right of unknown "friends" to speak for him, saying: "Mr. Bryan's friends do not speak for him. He does not care to answer anonymous reports sent from Lincoln or anywhere else; he has opportunity enough to say what he cares to say through his paper, through his speeches and through interviews, and newspapers which publish unauthorized statements by people who claim themselves friends and yet conceal their identity must be in a bad way for news." Cold Water Kills Boy. Afton, Colo.—Details have been received here of the drowning at Carey, Idaho, of John Davis, an Afton young man and son of Edward Davis. The young man was enjoying a boat ride on a lake when the boat capsized and Davis went down. The body was later recoverd and when found was in a standing position in the waters with the hands clasped in front of his breast in an attitude of prayer. No water was found in the stomach, and an attending physician stated that the young man was not drowned, but died suddenly from heart failure caused by coming in contact with the cold water. SAVAGE LION NEAR GOLDEN. Denver Sports Have Narrow Escapes in Fight with Wild Animals. Denver.—"Never in my life did I have such a thrilling adventure with a bear as I had last Friday about thirty miles northwest of Ceballa, in Gunnison county—whew! It was a hot fight." This was the way G. Gordon Pickett of the Tritch Hardware Company started his story of the biggest bear fight of the season. He and Harry Carpenter, with J. J. Carpenter's fine string of bear dogs, eight in number, started out from Cebella. But to continue with Mr. Pickett's tale: "The dogs jumped a good sized black bear along about 3 o'clock. We followed him something like three miles and took a long shot at him, wounding him in the right foreleg. We lost sight of him for awhile and then the dogs got next to him again. This time they had him corroned on the edge of a big bluff, at least 100 feet high. "It seems that the wound I had given him made the bear crazy mad. He nailed two of the dogs, one after the other and crunched their necks like so many soda crackers. He jumped down into a cleft of rock, where there was a little platform about twelve feet square, and beyond that the precinct. "The dogs went after him and he went after them good and proper. He had already killed two and it looked as if he was going to finish the entire pack. To save the lives of the dogs, I jumped down onto the little bench, but not until he had lunged at one of the best dogs and cuffed him clear over the cliff. "Of course, that finished that dog, and the bear turned. He wasn't five feet from me when I tore the top of his head off with a quick shot from my rifle. He didn't exactly have me 'buffaloed,' but I think I never in all my twenty-five years' hunting experience came so near being seriously rattled. The dogs killed were among the best fighters in the pack." Another big fight with wild game is promised as soon as Charles F. Hoeckel of Denver returns from a trip to the northern part of the state and gets his fine pack of Russian wolf hounds on the trail of an immense mountain lion which is destroying sheep and even young calves on the ranches on the Denver side of the great plateau near Golden, where the lion has his lair. The beast is said to have held a number of farmers at bay on two or three occasions and has invariably made his escape. A big lion hunt will be organized. The animal has committed his worst depredations at points scarcely more than nine miles distant from Denver. SEVEN MEN BURIED ALIVE Colorado Miners Caught in a Trap and Are Burned or Suffocated. Trinidad, Colo.—Seven men, including Superintendent Alex Jacobs, were either burned to death or suffocated in the Engleville mine at Engleville, a Colorado Fuel and Iron Company camp four miles south of Trinidad, some time on the night of May 20th The bodies, including that of Superintendent Jacobs, have already been recovered. The men went to work, and when they did not come out in the morning an investigation was started. It was discovered that fire which broke out in the mine a year ago and was still burning in some sections, had suddenly spread and swept across the incline tunnel, cutting off the men and preventing them from reaching the outside. The point where the flames crossed the tunnel is fully three miles from the opening and it was necessary to dig a temporary tunnel around the fire in order to reach the bodies of the ill-fated miners. The names of the other six dead cannot be obtained at this time; they were white miners and had lived at Engleville for many years. The Engleville mine is one of the oldest coal producers in Colorado, having been operated fully thirty years. As soon as the bodies were recovered, a telephone message was sent to Coroner Sipe, who went to the scene to make an investigation. Are They Jobbing Ben B.? Denver,—William C. Blair, chief clerk of the House of Representatives, is standing pat on his record of the passage of the Juvenile Court bill, which record does not agree with that of the Senate with respect to two Senate amendments. His journal shows that the amendments in question were not adopted by the House. "In the Sunday Post, over the signature of B. B. Lindsey, I notice the following statement concerning House Bill No. 192, considered and passed by both houses of the Sixteenth Assembly with particular reference to the amendment which is a part of the enrolled bill, but which does not appear in the House journal," said Mr. Blair to-day. "Some of the Senate officials have informed me that as a matter of fact the amendment was transmitted to the House, but if it was the chief clerk of the House neglected to publish it in the journal of the House. "It is a fact, as appears from the records, that the amendment was sent to the House by the Senate and enrolled in the House bill by the House enrollment committee, but why the clerk did not report it in the journal is difficult to understand." There can be and there is only one reason for the amendment not appearing in the House journal: The message from the Senate notifying the House that the bill had passed the Senate with certain amendments did not, does not—and from the nature of the construction of the communication, never did and could not—contain the amendment referred to and which is claimed by some to have passed the Senate. The records of the House of Representatives of the Sixteenth Assembly concerning House Bill No. 192 are absolutely correct, and they are correct on every other bill, matter and thing considered and acted upon by it." WORK OF VILLAIN SOME FIEND WRECKS SWIFT PAS SENGER TRAIN AND CAUSES DEATH. FATAL CALIFORNIA DISASTER Ties Wire to Loosened Rails and Pulls Los Angeles, Cal.—Train No. 20, the Shore line limited, one of the Southern Pacific's line flyers due at 9 o'clock on night of May 21, wrecked at the West Glendale, ten miles north of here, at 12:30 in the morning. The wreck was the deliberate work of train-reckers. One man was killed and twenty-two persons injured, three probably fatally. In accomplishing the wreck of the train, which was the coast limited, a devilish ingenuity had been exercised. At a point on a trestle over the Arroyo Seco, the fishplates and bolts of two connecting rails on the southbound track had been removed, and in the apertures whence the bolts were taken strands of heavy wire were fastened at the end of each rail. From the appearance of the track, after the wreck, it was evident that some person hidden on a hillside close to the trestle had pulled the wire as the train approached and spread the rails outward toward the edge of the trestle. The train, three hours late, was traveling between thirty-five and forty miles an hour. The engine wheels were first to leave the rails, and the engine took to the ties, traveling nearly 100 yards before it was brought to a standstill. The tender, the diner, two Pullmans, the buffet, mail and baggage cars plugged over the edge of the trestle, falling sixteen feet. The buffet car, the express car and one of the Pullmans were turned completely upside down, and the others landed on their sides. All were badly crushed and splintered. T. H.

New York.—Miss Helen Gould, the philanthropic sister of Millionaire Howard Gould, threatened to commit suicide if the terrible scandal growing out of his wife's charges against him ever comes out in court, according to an amazing story told today by William Carroll Woodward, known to the police as Big Bill Hawley. Hawley has a suit pending against Howard Gould and the latter's attorney, Delancey Nicoll, for $250,000 for services in working up evidence against Mrs. Gould. He declared today that the charges and counter-charges by Howard Gould and his wife, who formerly was Katherine Clemmons, the beautiful actress, are of such a character that the Gould family will never permit them to be aired in court. Miss Helen Gould, Hawley said, went down on her knees to her brother and begged aim to avert the scandal. Police Commissioner Blingham will issue subpoenas for all persons to appear at headquarters who may be able to throw any light on the part played by the detective bureau in the affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gould. Among those who will be called to appear are Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gould; Delancey Nicoll, Gould's counsel; Clarence J. Shearn, Mrs. Gould's counsel; Edward Sholes, the circus man, and Big Hawley, who, Mrs. Gould charges in the complaint in the separation suit she has brought, was employed in the case. G. A. R.

He was Thicker Skimmed Walter Howard, the London dramatist, was leaving the stage door of a theater one evening when an anemic-looking youth stepped up and said: "Are you Mr. Howard?" The author replied in the affirmative, whereupon the young fellow said he wanted to go on the stage. Noticing his evident unfitness for such a life, Howard advised him to stick to his present occupation, whatever it was. "I am assistant pawnbroker across the way," said the ambitious young man. "And what do your people think of your going on the stage?" asked Howard. "Oh, they are right against it," was the jaunty reply, "but I shouldn't mind the disgrace myself." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Defined.

Tired Nervous Make Un MRS.NELLIE.MAKHAM A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of hysterics, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children. The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the "blues", sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down pains, nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo, N.

This condition worked on my nerves and I was irritable and miserable. I had tried many remedies without getting much help but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought me back to health and strength. It has also carried me safely through the Change of Life. I cannot too strongly recommend your medicine."

He is a doctor as well as a surgeon, for he not only heels but performs many cutting operations. He is a fishmonger, for he sells soles and heels. He is a schoolmaster, for he gives good understanding. He is a good speaker, for he always works the thread of his argument, waxes warm to his subject, and holds all to the last.” 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 neces- sary 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 wear- ing quality of the goods. This trou- ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. Free Medical Advice.

Savage Animals Provide Goud Sport ‘Sne ea ne “Shoji's quietude has just been dis- turbed by a big wild-boar hunt,” says a Japanese paper. “Lately the cold weather has driven the wild boars down near the villages, ‘The other day @ party of hunters routed out seven or eight boars on the hills. A hunter named Krahel wounded one of the unsightly creatures and the animal started down the hill to upset things generally. Reaching the tiny village of Furureki, he rushed through @ flour mfll and attacked a woman who-was cleaning wheat in a shed hard by, injuring her somewhat badly. A farm- er named Ito Kunichiro, hearing the woman's cry for help, rushed to her assistance and struck the boar with his mattock, thus drawing the ant mal’s attention to himself. The noise now drew others to the spot and when the hunters reached the village they found that the peasants had succeeded in giving the boar his quietus, and that @ huge feast was in store for all.” _ Necessary Hours of Sleep. The belief that the hours of sleep should be artificially restricted is vrev- alent. Yet it is contrary to ordinary good sense. If the human body does not need sleep for the upbuilding of its [tissues it will not call for it. A rule jof health which can not be wrung is jto sleep, if possible, as long as any jinelination for it exists. The er- Foneous view on this subject ts un: doubtedly due to the fact that when |the mind and body are thoroughly | rested it ts often difficult to arouse the mind from its comfortable lethargy. jOn the other hand, the man who fs un- der a mental strain and sleeps only |five or six hours at night ts keen and alert soon after awakening. But it is an unhealthy activity. Hie nerves are at a high tension. He is on edge, 80 to speak. Such a strain, long con- timued, results inevitably in a nervous breakdown.

In all cases tucked sleeves should be cut “on the cross,” and it is a good idea to have half a dozen very small hooks and eyes on the under seam near the wrist. Of the making of fringes, and of the wearing of same ,there is no end! ‘All the new linen frocks are trimmed with fringes, and also with many tas- sels, and superb fringes are posed on evening gowns of crepe de chine, vel- vet and taffetas. With these fringes bias folds of material are very much used; indeed bias folds are playing an important part in the fashions of the hour. Frequently they are of the same material as the skirt, but some- times they are of velvet and of satin in a slightly deeper tone of color. Graduated bands of velvet r:bvon run the bias folds very close, as a skirt trimming, but the ribbons belong, al- most exclusively, to the world of robes d'interieur, whilst bias folds are lavishly used on dinner gowns. Quite the most attractive of the pat- ticoats worn with the blue serge tall- ormade frocks are black and white ‘striped satin, the nes perpendicular For Spring Wear. on the skirt and horizontally placea on the flounce, which is either kilted or plainly hemmed or decorated with medallions of black lace. Another good silk petticoat is made in shot silk with double-kilted flounces cut into Vandykes at the edge, no other trimming being vouchsafed. These, too, are particularly suited to the serge dress. For the voile gown I would recommend the glace petticoat. It has a hand-embroidered lawn frill put on at the top with a beading threaded with ribbon. For the economical I commend the petticoat of double-width alpaca in black and white check, with a shaped flounce trimmed with three graduated rows of black velvet ribbon. It is nec- essary to buy the very best quality al- paca and then I would guarantee its wear for three seasons. The same vir- tue, I regret to say, cannot be ac- credited toany known make of glace silk, nor accorded to any tried bro- cade or stripes. And, writing the word stripes, I am tempted to insist again upon their amazing popularity. Not alone are there striped tweeds and striped cash- meres and striped silks, but there are striped voiles and crepe de chines, these last looking thelr best in black when the stripe is of satin, and is real: ly a new edition of our old friend the satin-striped grenadine, but exhibiting much improvement from the softer fabric with which it Is allied.

Ay I have previously said, it is not difficult to manipulate, and will con- ceai in its hanging folds a few of those defects without which the amateur. made costume is never quite complete. Minor matters which are just now receiving special attention are belts and buckles, the newest of the latter being of filigree gold raised almost in dome shape and decorated in the cen- ter with a single large jewel, ame- thyst, or olivine for choice. ‘The belts are of leather of all colors, soft or shiny of surface, and the elastic belts still intrude in every conceivable color. the newest elastic being of gold and of gold and silver interwoven. The plaid patent leather belt is perhaps more novel than attractive, and to the really slim waist no belt is more be. coming than that contrived from a wide piece of ribbon pinned into the center of the back and drawn tightly through a chased silver or gold buckle in the front.
