Senator Foraker's Manly Words.—The Good that Could be Accomp plished with Negro Daily Papers—Friction Between White and Black Government Employes. VOL. XIII. Washing Senator Foraker's Manly Words.— plished with Negro Daily White and Black Ga Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. "If for what I have done in their behalf (the colored troops) I am to be eliminated from public life, as has been proclaimed, then let it be known that I shall at least carry with me into private life the consoling satisfaction of feeling and knowing that I have been rebuked for an action that I shall never regret, but always esteem as creditable to my heart as a man and to my sense of justice and duty as a public official." So spoke Senator J. B. Foraker before the assembled thousands of Negroes at Wilberforce University a few days ago. If there has ever been anything more manly in tone or more distinctly lofty in sentiment said, it has escaped our notice. When attention is given to the fact that these words were uttered in behalf of an unpopular cause, for a people who are wantonly slighted and abused and whose rights and privileges are unjustly curtailed, the words of the Senator become more than ever significant and win for him an honored niche in the temple of fame where those alone may hope to rest who have the courage to do the right and are faithful and just to their fellowman. It is probably not generally known that the City of Philadelphia has a quite respectable Negro daily paper which comes out on schedual time and has a growing circulation. The Philadelphia Tribune published each week day afternoon at 717 Sanson street, is owned and edited by Chris. J. Perry, a veteran newspaper hustler who has been operating the Tribune for twenty-three consecutive years. In point of longevity it ranks in the class with the Washington Bee, which has been buzzing uninterruptedly for twenty-seven years. The Tribune makes a good appearance, is neat and attractively lettered and its editorials freshly tapped each twenty-fours, are products of thought and good sense which cover from time to time a wide range of subjects pertaining to the political and material progress of the Negro. In this connection the thought occurs to me if one man with limited means can publish a daily of which the race need not be ashamed, how much larger aiefd of usefulness and influence would be that of a Negro paper with abund- ant capital, which could be easily supplied in each of a dozen American cities having large and growing Negro population. Quite an advanced step was taken a few days ago showing the fact of an increasing friction between white and colored employees in the Departments at Washington. It has been matter for serious concern for some time past that an increasing restrictiveness, a sort of chip on the shoulder feeling has been very much in evidence wherever the two races have been obliged to associate on terms of business and official equality. Some weeks ago as the readers of the COLORADO STATESMAN were informed a young colored draughtsman was appointed under Civil Service rules, in the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The appointment of one of this class of American citizens in this office was resented as almost in the nature of a sacrelege by this body of young men who never dreamed of such a thing coming to pass and who had hitherto regarded the Architects department as more thoroughly aristocratic and in a measure set apart from the ordinary bureau connected with Uncle Sam's establishment. At this time a Round Robin petition, asking the secretary to remove the unwelcome employees to a less exclusive office was sent Mr. Cortelyou and besides, without awaiting his action, one or two ultra sensitive youngsters who felt the unpardonable sin had been committed, immediately submitted their resignations. Other than accepting the resignations, the secretary toook no action whatever in the matter and it was assumed it would be adjusted in due time through the natural predominance of common sense among cultured and intelligent men. The appointment of a second colored draughtsman seems to have increased the load of the camel (which in this case is race prejudice) beyond endurance and the terrible strain reached its climax at the close of day, when, warm and with hands soiled, the new appointee proceeded to the lavatory. The older in point of service insisted on the right of way and the new employee had been taught in that modern school of ethics, which insists that "all men look alike" as far as privelege goes and that each shall have his turn, when DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907. State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo ou Going' J RADO THE JOURNAL SMAN'S TENTE DENVER, COLORADO the line has advanced so far as the box office What really happened at this point has been variously stated. The two morning papers, the Post and Herald, which are bitter rivals for the palm for misstatement and misrepresentation concerning the facts and acts of Negroes generally, stated that "the colored man was badly beaten and bruised, that other white employes pitched in and aided in the thrashing and that he was not able to return to work." The facts are that Woodson the colored man insisted on taking his turn and the white man tried to shove him out of the way, whereupon Woodson promptly threw him over to the other side of the room. Other employes displayed their partisanship and interest, while Cook the first colored appointee stood by his associate. The affair quieted down and the colored man returned to work in the morning and if there were any bruises on his person they are yet to be discovered. It is understood that the Secretary has called for a statement from the interested parties and whatever action he may take will probably have an important bearing on the future status and treatment of Negro clerks in the Departments at Washington. In all of these evidences of racial antagonism, the pretended cause is the resentment on the part of the whites of the Negroes efforts at social equality. It would seem that Woodsons' desire and determination to use the soap and water and to do it with all proper regard for the courtesies of official association but without that hesitation and drawing back which are distinctly servile impulse, is an evidence of his ambition for social equality. Does any sensible person believe such a thing? Bah!! JOHN H. PAYNTER. SLAVE BLOCK REMOVED Nashville. Tenn., June 22.—The last of Nashville's old "slave blocks" has been torn down. The removal of the old buildings on Union street takes the last evidence of slave days from Nashville. When the city was young these old structures were used as broker shops for slaves. The broker sat in the front part of the office and the slaves were locked in the rear rooms, the windows in these rooms being heavily barred. These old windows still reman, though the other parts of the buildings have been greatly changed since the ante-bellium days. A large number of slave dealers were then doing a rushing business in this locality. It was here that slaves were bought, sold and rented, the rented slaves being leased for one year at a time to men of good standing. --- WAS GOING SOME. In a murder trial in Cincinnati a colored hotel porter was called as a witness. "How many shots were fired?" he was asked. "Two shots, suh," he answered. "Close together?" "Eess like that, suh," he said, clapping his hands sharply as quickly as he could. "Where were you when the first shot was fired?" "I was in de basmen' of de hotel, suh, shinin' a gemman's shoes." "And when the second shot was fired where were you?" "At that time, suh, I was passin' de Big Fo' depot, eight blocks away!" RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. New York, June 11.—Booker T. Washington was in the Supreme Court yesterday, having been called as a witness in a suit to determine whether Mrs. Mary E. Shaw, a colored woman, was of sound mind when she made a will giving most of her estate to Tuskegee normal and Industrial institute, of which Mr. Washington is the president. The jury upheld Mrs. Shaw's will, and after wards Mr. Washington said that by the verdict the Institute would receive the largest single contribution it had ever had at the hands of a colored person, amounting to about $40,000. Evanswill, Ind., June 22.—Due to the purchase of a home on exclusive Linwood avenue by Moses and Beulah Davis, Negro schoolteachers, several white men, boys and women visited the place in the night, filled the citren, with rubbish and broke window lights in the house. Tincans, brickbats, old shoes, rocks and pieces of wood were dumped into the cistern. It is said that the mob was led by an angry woman, who declared that Davis and wife shall never occupy a house on Linwood avenue. Since the purchase of the property by Davis and wife the feeling between the white and colored races in the city has been greatly intensified. It is feared that the moving-in of Davis will bring about serious trouble. Walton, Ky., June 22.—Ed. Long colored, was killed at the Cincinnati Southern Depot here tonight by an unknown drunken white man, who with a companion alighted from the accommodation train. 'They walked over to where Long and another Negro were standing and tried to get up trouble, one telling Long he would "mash his face." Long said, "No. you won't. I have not done anything." The stranger then said: "I will kill you," and pulling his gun, he fired five shots, one taking effect in the stomach, from the effect of which Long died on the train on which he was being taken to the Covington hospital. The murderer has disappeared. Louisvillie, June 22.—Martha Johnson, colored, one of the heaviest human beings in the world, succeeded to fatty degeneration of the heart at her home in the rear of 434 Lampton street. The last time she was weighed she tipped the scales at 511 pounds. She was 62 years old and a native of Kentucky. Since she had been of mature age she had been very large, weighing nearly 300 pounds. For the past two years she has been an invalid on account of her immense weight and had gradually increased in avordupois. A special strong chair was made for her in which she spent all of her time. Several times she had received offers of large sums from different shows if she would sign a contract to travel and be displayed as the largest woman in the world. T. H. Hankins, an undertaker, who embalmed the body, said fluid sufficient to embalm half a dozen ordinary bodies was necessary to prepare the body.. A special casket had to be ordered. It measur-six feet in length, is 34 inches wide and 21 inches deep. Extra strong handles were placed on the coffin, which will be carried by 12 powerful Negroes. MANITOU NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Harris of Hot Springs. Ark., left for their home last Thursday. R. J. Bettis and Geo. Stearns of Wichita are stopping with Mrs. Bunker for the season. Mrs. S. J.

The past week has been a very busy one in the Springs, and Manitou many new comers for the season having arrived, some to spend the season health-seeking, others for rest and recreation, while others are accepting the varicus positions in the hotels, and others places of employment open to our people. NOT JUSTIFIED Vicksburg, Miss., June 15.—The Daily Herald is leading the press of the state in denouncing the lynching of Lee Fox, a Negro, who killed Lee Reynolds, white, with whom he had been shooting craps. Fox was lynched by 50 men near Blaine, 10 hours after he had killed Reynolds. Both men had been attending a dance, and had been shooting craps with a crowd of whites and Negroes all night, and had been drinking. Reynolds had won all Fox's money. Angered at his loss, Fox shot Reynolds as he walked from the room at 2 a. m. Commenting on the lynching, the Herald says: "We never before read of so unjustifiable and revolting a case of lynching. Certainly the white men who would lynch a Negro for killing a white man who had so grossly violated the color line code, were not Southern born. And if tried before a jury of Southern men, these lynchers would surely be convicted of murder. AN EDITOR'S DIARY.

MARRIAGE VOWS SQCIIOLOGIST SAYS WOMEN ARE ELEVATED BY DIVORCE. ECONOMIC HANDICAP TO WED Professor Phillips Says Some Things About Marital Obligations That That May Set the Old World Thinking. "The divorce movement is the outgrowth of the modern family's struggle for freedom, and the fact that marriage today is an economic drawback. "The restriction of divorce by law does little but make divorce more expensive, and hence a luxury of the rich. "Restriction of remarriage is an unwise measure. It is an incentive to immorality. "Divorces are not sought for the purpose of remarriage in any such degree as is popularly supposed. "The retention of marriage is bad for the morals of the community. "Commonlaw marriages afford a limitless field for adventureses. "Divorce, in so far as its increase grants greater freedom to women, means her elevation. "It is unlikely that the increase of divorce will seriously menace the family as an institution." Boulder, Colo.—Dr. John B. Phillips, professor of sociology and economics at the University of Colorado, treasures of some new phases of the divorce problem in the last volume of the "University of Colorado" studies, in an article entitled "The Increase in Divorce." According to Dr. Phillips the divorce movement is the outgrowth of the modern family's struggle for freedom, and the fact that marriage today is an economic drawback. Dr. Phillips says; "The modern family has shared fully in the nineteenth century struggle for freedom, and today is a sort of free government. The absolute power of the father is gone; the children are no longer ruled by the rod, nor can the husband interfere with the wife's right in her property. As a result of this it is probably true that American children are less respectful to their parents than are the European children. This is because the European boy is brought up to follow the business of his father, while the American boy is taught that his father's trade is not good enough for him, and hence is not apt to think his father a great man. Thus the glory of the American national life that the children are filled with the ambition to rise higher than their fathers comes at the expense of that respect accorded to parents by children who are taught not to try to rise above the level attained by their father. "The various industrial opportunities opened to women since the invention of machinery has made them less dependent and advanced the age of marriage. The effect of this is a diminution in the marriage rate of nearly all the countries in which statistics are available. Economic Drawback. "Probably the greatest reason for the decline in the importance of the family is that marriage is an economic drawback. As a rule it multiplies a bachelor's expenses of living nearly threefold, and from a purely financial stanpoint a young man on a small salary is worse off after marrying. The current matrimonial ideal intensifies the economic disadvantages of marriage, which is that the home means a servant, and leisure for the wife to devote herself to more or less elaborate social functions. "Diverces are the more numerous in the newer countries. The eastern and southern states are conservative and grant few divorces, while the western states grant them mainly for desertion, cruelty or adultery. One of the defects of the law is that it doesn't define cruelty. All sorts of definitions have been allowed by the courts. "Restriction of remarriage is an unwise measure. It is an incentive to immorality. Nor does it affect the cause, as divorces probably are not sought for the purpose of remarriage in any such degree as is popularly supposed. "The third suggested remedy, the restriction of marriages, is bad for the morals of the community, though certain mild restrictions might ad morally. A marriage ceremony should be surrounded with a certain amount of formality, for this tends to prevent haste and recklessness. The opportunity to marry secretly is not good for the public or the parties concerned. Neither is the common law marriage, as it affords a limitless opportunity for adventureshes. "There are some measures that will, perhaps, in the long run, tend to lessen the number of divorces. Of these one is the growth of the romantic ideal. By this is meant that each person be free to follow his own inclinations in the selection of a husband and wife. A marriage in a democratic society is apt to last longer if the parties are allowed full freedom in their choice. "Divorce, in so far as its increase grants greater freedom, to women, means here elevation. It is a part of the movement that has granted to women the right to live on a higher plane than was possible in the early days. In no other country is woman so much respected as in the United States, and it may be that this respect is in part due to the privilege our women enjoy to be divorced from the husband who will make their lives unhappy. It is unlikely that the increase of divorce will seriously menace the family as an institution. After we have passed the transition period of liberty and our society has become more settled, divorce probably will cease to increase, but it seems hardly probable that modern society will revert to a condition when divorce is granted for but one cause." ROAD AGENTS PUT TO FLIGHT. One Gruff-Voiced Cripple Sends Six Bandits on Run. Boulder, Colo.—That the day of the "road agent," supposed to have passed never to return in Colorado, has not given entirely away to more modern methods of plundering, became apparent when six heavily-armed and masked men held up the Boulder-Nederland stage in Boulder canon. That they secured nothing was due to the sudden appearance of R. E. Huggert, the riding boss of the Colorado Eastern Power Company, who, although crippled and small in stature, is known as a hard-handed boss in all the section camps of the West. "Git out of here!" exclaimed Huggert, when he saw the passengers with their hands up, and drawing a revolver he charged the robbers. They turned and fled up the rocky walls of the canon. "That's a h— of a bunch of hoisters for a man to stick up his hands for," remarked Huggert, eyeing several brawny miners who had "stuck" theirs up promptly. Then he rode on without waiting for thanks. The holdup occurred at a point in the canon about eight miles from Boulder, and considered as safe a place as Sixteenth street in Denver at noon. The daily Nederland stage filled with passengers on their way to Boulder to spend their bank rolls on the Fourth of July rounded a bend in the road at a gallop, with Driver J. T. Carmack on the box. Six men sprang from the underbrush, and while four of them caught the horses' bridles the other two covered the driver with rifles. The passengers, ordered to alight, did so with alacrity. "Hands up!" commanded the leader, and just then Huggert arrived, the robbers and the victims having failed to hear the sound of his horse's hoofs in the confusion. Huggert, the rescuer, who declined to be a hero, is a cripple about five feet eight inches tall, with a voice calculated to inspire terror. Huggert knows this, and uses it to good effect in controlling the rough men whom he handles. Huggert also carries a gun, to use when his elequence has not the proper force. He was caught without it by a gang at Nederland this spring, who had been awaiting just such a change. Huggert managed to fight his way to his tent and secured the weapon, and then, facing the liquor-maddened crowd, said, briefly, but forcibly, that he would shoot the first man that disobeyed orders. The mutiny was quelled then and there. According to his friends, he does not know what fear means. He is also a man of few words and declined to say anything in regard to the rescue today. The sheriff is inclined to believe that the bandits are discharged section hands, who had the fear of Huggert drilled in them from past experience, and that the sound of his voice was more terrifying to them than any amount of resistance by others would have been. Colorado's Crop of Tourists Increases Regardless of the long railroad passenger schedules put in effect between Chicago and Denver there are more tourists in the state this summer than ever before at this time of the year. Since June 1st people have been coming by the thousands from the East. The Colorado Railway Association reports an increase of thirteen and one-half per cent. in the tourist travel to Colorado for the month of June, and an increase of 15% per cent, to Denver. The figures for the month of June, compared to last year, follow: June, 1906, June, 1907. Denver tourists . . . 6,400 7,318 Colorado Springs . . . 2,418 2,743 Pueblo. . . . . 1,960 2,116 This does not include 3,000 persons en route to the Pacific coast, who stopped over in Denver during the month. It is estimated that but half that number bound for the coast stopped in Denver last June. It will be noticed that 918 more tourists arrived in Denver during the month of June this year than last year. There were 1,393 more tourists in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo than last year. Denver hotel men say that there are almost as many tourists in Denver now as there were last August, which month is one of the best tourist months in the year. For the past two weeks the hotels have been crowded. Made Sure He Was Dead. New York.—James Green Wellington of Corning, New York, died suddenly of heart disease at Avon, New Jersey. He was seventy-six years old. He had a horror of being buried alive and several years ago made his brother, Dr. James F. Wellington, promise to use every known test upon his body before giving his consent to burial. The doctor promised if he survived to carry out Mr. Wellington's wishes. So the body was carried in and placed in bed beside Dr. Wellington, who is now bedridden, and who for fourteen years has been an invalid The examination of the body was painstaking. Not until Dr. Wellington was absolutely assured of death after half an hour expended in the closest scrutiny, did he give consent to turn the body over to the undertaker. For Many years Mr. Wellington was engaged in the banking business at Corning. He served as mayor and treasurer of the town. Will Help Haywood Forth thousand dollars a month. This is the amount pledged for the Moyer-Haywood-Pettibone defense fund by the convention of the Western Federation of Miners just preceding its final adjournment at Denver. The money is to be raised by a monthly assessment of $1 against each member. It is to continue indefinitely. It was the concensus of opinion that if this is not sufficient, the rank and file will contribute twice that sum without a murmur. The federation has not less than 40,000 members in good standing earning an average of $1 per day each. This aggregates $4,160,000 a month of working days SKULL CRUSHED POLICEMAN AT FORT COLLINS MURDERED IN "JUNGLES." JOHN ALLEN FOUND DYING Reward Has Been Offered for Apprehension of Murderers and Town Is All Stirred Up. Fort Collins, Colo.—John Allen, one of the bravest police officials in the state, was brutally murdered the night of July 3 at 11:30 by thugs. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the hospital, his face beaten to a pulp and the whole side of his head crushed. The examination indicated that he had been struck at least a dozen times with a sandbag or an iron bar. He died a few minutes after reaching the hospital without regaining consciousness. Allen was appointed some six months ago to patrol the "jungles," a suburb on the river bottoms, where a great deal of liquor is sold. There have been numerous convictions of liquor dealers since his installation in the "jungles" as police man, and he had many enemies there. Allen entered a store on the day of his death and examined some revolvers, remarking that he wanted to buy a better gun than the one he had, as a man had threatened to "do him up" and he wanted to protect himself. As soon as the report of the assault on Allen was received, half a dozen city and county officers, reinforced by citizens, formed a posse and began a search of the "jungle" and surrounding country. A large reward will be offered for the apprehension and conviction of the men who killed the officer. The city officials sent a representative to the bedside of Allen to obtain from him, if possible, a description of the man who had threatened his life, but the injured man was in such a condition that he did not regain control of his mind, and the slightest clew to his enemy was lost. It is possible that he may have told his friends something about the man who made his threats to "do him up," and an investigation is being made along this line as well as the late hour will permit. Allen was discovered a short distance from the road leading to the 'jungle," when some men heard his moans. The alarm was given at once. City Marshal John Ryckman and Deputy Marshal Hank Whittaker were summoned. They found Allen lying on his face with his brains oozing out through his skull, which had been crushed. They turned him over, and had it not been for his uniform they would not have been able to recognize him. People living half a block from the place where Allen was assaulted say that they heard no outey nor any d'sturbance, other than firecracker shooting and the shouts of people driving along the road in the darkness. Allen had no other injuries. A short distance from where he was assaulted is a clump of bushes. Allen, in going down to the "jungle" took the main road and then turned to the left down a side road which passes the bushes. It is believed that the thugs were lying back of the bushes, and as he passed by they struck him a blow that rendered him unconscious. Although he was a handy man with his gun he did not have it even out of his pocket. One blow struck back of his head is believed to have been the first, rendering him unconscious. Allen was a most popular officer of Fort Collins and the bitter feeling against the "jungle" will be intensified when the report of his death is spread. It is likely that officers will be appointed to patrol the "jungle" to protect the inhabitants from inroar to protect the inhabitants from injury at the hands of the mob. If a suspect is captured it is likely that he will be hurried away to some other points, as there would be danger of violence from the mob. Allen was thirty-five years of age and unmarried. As far as is known here, he leaves no immediate relatives. Little Brown Men Slip In. Washington.—The Department of Commerce and Labor is having a hard time in enforcing the law regarding the exclusion of Japanese laborers and coolles. The little brown men, it is reported, are being smuggled into the United States by the hundreds from Mexico. In British Columbia similar conditions of affairs exist. The provisions of the law relating to the exclusion of the Japanese and substantially the same as those relating to admission of Chinese laborers and coolles, but as a matter of fact the law is almost a dead letter because the means of its enforcement are lacking. At the big ports the government can keep a close watch, but on the desolate border lines of Mexico and British Columbia the officials are practically helpless. Today in Mexico there are thousands of Japanese awaiting an opportunity to slip across the border. Once here it is impossible to trace them. The Chinamen, when they come to this country, must identify themselves by means of photographs and passports. None of these restrictions are put on the Japanese coolies. Secretary Strauss is trying to solve the problem of how to keep the Japanese out and may decide to establish a patrol on the Mexican border with mounted men. Big Fire and No Water. Fort Morgan, Colo.—The new warehouse of the Farmers' Implement Company was burned to the ground, entailing a loss of $10,000. This warehouse had just been completed and was filled with all kinds of farmers' implementals, all of which were totally destroyed. It is supposed that the fire was caused by sparks from a Burlington engine, which had been switching in the yards. The building might have been saved had the fire department had any water, but the city is putting down three new wells near the standpipe, which holds nearly a million gallons of water, and nearly all of the water was out of the standpipe, so that there was no pressure. The insurance on the stock was $2,500. Is the Sailors' Friend. Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A. Hanbury for advice and for protection. Mr. Hanbury is the United States shipping commissioner for the port of New York. He is the sailors' judge and jury. The men who sign on foreign craft now must appear before him for their papers instead of going to the consuls of the various countries. He decides all disputed questions between the men and their sailing masters. Many of the abuses of these mea that formerly were common, such as compelling them to buy their outfits from the ship owners or captains, have been done away with under Mr. Hanbury's rule. His office is on the Battery park, New York, where he easily can reach all the ships leaving that port. INSURANCE INVESTMENTS How One Company's Assets Are Distributed in the South and West. In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75% of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxation, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equitable now has $10,958,000 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the management decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injustice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. The Equitable's report shows that more than 37% of its total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only 35% of its total insurance is carried in these states. Its investments are distributed as follows: Ala., $3,099,000; Ariz., $974,000; Ark., $4,038,000; Cal., $5,142,000; Col., $5,222,000; Fla., $4,924,900; Ga., $4,048,000; Idaho, $5,197,000; Ill., $12,617,000; Ind. Ter., $443,000; Ind., $6,836,000; Iowa, $3,690,000; Kansas, $11,637,000; Ky., $2,631,000; La., $3,054,000; Md., $2,207,000; Mich., $6,009,000; Minn., $2,065,000; Miss., $767,000; Mo., $8,197,000; Mont., $1,890,000; Neb., $7,526,000; Nev., $640,000; New Mex., $1,376,000; N.C., $1,649,000; N.D., $677,000; Ohio, $11,634,000; Okla., $1,006,000; Ore., $1,158,000; S. C., $975,000; S. D., $1,305,000; Tenn., $1,909,000; Utah, $2,134,000; Va., $6,592,000; Wash., $1,202,000; W. Va., $5,523,000; Wis., $2,342,000; Wyo., $3,367,000. New Austrian Railway. New Austrian Railway. Hitherto tourists from the United States who chose the southern trip to Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar or Naples, but many, chiefly those who had already been in Italy, now come Trieste and continue from here their voyage by the new Austrian railway. There can hardly be a more beautiful country than the regions which are made accessible by this new Transalpine railroad. The new railway is owned by the state, and is 130 miles long. There are 49 tunnels, with a total length of ten miles. There are 50 bridges, one of which, across the river Izonzo, has the longest stone span in the world. There are, besides, as many as 678 smaller bridges and viaducts—Consular Reports. New in Wall Paper. A new design in fancy wall paper patterns comes from Kansas City; also a way to utilize cancelled checks. A firm has had all its offices papered with old checks, placed neatly edge to edge. The face figures of the checks vary from $30,000 to $1,000, and the total for one room is $8,000-300. As a gilt moulding runs around the edges of each check-panel, the general effect is rather pleasing. A Vast Supply. "Solomon was the wisest man," remarked the student. "Yes," answered Mr. Meekton, "he couldn't help being wise with so many wives to give him advice." COFFEE COMPLEXION. Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body. "There's a Reason." I read, "The Road to Welville," in pkgs. DEFENSE COMPLETES ITS CASE. Haywood Trial Drawing to a Close on Evidence. Bolie, Idaho.—The, defense in the Haywood trial has practically completed its case except for, the testi- of its star witnesses, Moyer and Haywood. Before the president and secretary of the federation go on the witness stand both sides will ask the judge to strike out a mass of evidence from the record. The prosecution undertook to prove a general conspiracy to assassinate, and the defense attempted to bring to light a counter conspiracy. Judge Wood permitted the introduction of all kinds of evidence with the warning that he would expect both sides to "connect up" the various stories with the case at bar. Now each side insists that the other has failed to make good. The court's decisions on these motions will be very important; in fact, may determine the issue of the case. Heretofore Judge Wood has been more than liberal in his rulings, and neither side has a material complaint to make. Naturally the forthcoming opinions are awaited with the greatest anxiety. Haywood and Moyer should go on the stand Saturday afternoon or Monday morning and their examination should occupy several days. It is promised by the defense that neither man will attempt to conceal anything and that they will buttress their testimony with liberal extracts from the records of the Western Federation of Miners. On rebuttal the state promises many fresh sensations. Detectives will swear that the statements made by Haywood's witnesses are false. When the case finally goes to the jury the situation will be narrowed down to Orchard's charges against Haywood's denials. Will the jurors believe the man who swears that for years he murdered for hire or will they believe the man who insists that he never counseled violence in a labor struggle? The feature of testimony was the story related by Henry Maki, a Finlander, of indignities sustained by him at the hands of the military and the deputies in Telluride. This is the man who was mancled to a telegraph pole in the middle of February because he had refused to perform a loathsome task. Mrs. Margaret M. Hooten told of her experiences in Cripple Creek. Her husband had charge of the miners' store. He was thrown into jail and the store was looted by the military and deputies. Mrs. Hooten does not weigh more than 100 pounds, and as the little woman related her story one could not repress a thrill of admiration. She said she had insisted upon her rights after her husband was arrested. She was twice arested for distributing relief to the starving families of miners, but she persisted in her good work. She defied Nelson Franklin, Judge McGarry and Frank Woods, although they warned her that she would be deported as soon as they could secure an order from the general in command. The second time she was brought before these gentlemen, who at that time were running things for the Mine Owners' Association, she found them playing poker. "I had to wait until some one had won the jackpot." she explained and even Judge Wood smiled at the sally. Worry Over Mary's Little Lamb. Fort Collins, Colo.—Whether to feed lambs next season, or not is causing nine out of ten flock owners in this part of the state a great deal of worry these days. The flock masters on the Wyoming ranges say that their crop amounts to but 50 per cent, of 1st year, and similar hard luck tales comes from New Mexico sources. This condition, if true, means that the man who buys lambs at $5.25 per 100 pounds will be getting cheap stuff, and that is the minimum just now. The hay crop as good as it was last year at this time, and the corn is reported to be coming along nicely. The veteran feeders are drawing the line at 5 cents for lambs, and say that if the flock-masters won't take that the hay will be kept over for next season or sold to the plungers the coming winter. This lamb-feeding business that has made Fort Collins famous is engaged in by some of the brightest minds in the state, and its uncertainty makes it a most exciting one. Just now the flockmaster refuses to contract his lambs for less than $5.25 to $5.50, because he says fully 50 percent, of his crop died during the cold snap in May. During the last week no less than a dozen prominent feeders from this district left for the ranges on a still hunt to find out for themselves the real state of affairs. Up to date, but few lambs have been contracted for the Fort Collins district. Making Bad Medicine. Albuquerque, N. M.—A man giving the name of G. U. Hall and claiming to be from St. Joseph, Missouri, recently a practicing physician at Lennox, Iowa, was arrested while in the very act of making counterfeit money. After a long watch the officers located the counterfeiter in a room in the Southern hotel. One detective booster another up to the transom of the locked door and the counterfeiter was covered with a six shooter. He unlocked the door and surrendered. In the room was a complete counterfeiting outfit for manufacturing dollar coins, with some twenty counterfeit dollars scattered about the floor. Hall, who has a wife and daughter in Little Fails, Washington, begged the police to shoot him, as he feared the disgrace would kill his family. "I Consulted Several Physicians, but they Did Me No Good. Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin Helped Me." MRS. ALINE DEPASSE. Mrs. Aline DePasse, 776 E. 165th St., New York, N. Y., writes: "It gives me pleasure to testify to the curative qualities of Peruna and Manaill. "I was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good. "One day I happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna almanac. I decided to try Peruna and Manalin. I bought a bottle of each, and after taking them for a week I noticed a change for the better. So I kept it up, and after using twelve bottles I was perfectly cured. "I also gave the medicine to my children and they had the same beneficial result. I would never be without these remedies in the house. "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalin to all my friends, and in fact to everybody." Miss Mildred Grey, 110 Weimar St., Anleton, Wis., writes: "It gives me pleasure to recommend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I had this disease for a number of years, and could not enjoy a mouthful of food that I ate. It was indeed a great relief when I hit upon Peruna, and obtained decided results from the first. I took six bottles before I felt entirely cured of my trouble, but I had an aggravated case." White Lead Natural Segment Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, but no real substitute for it has yet been found. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Pure White Lead (with its full natural tenacity and elasticity, unimpaired by adulterants), alone fulfills all the requirements of the ideal paint. Every keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade mark is positively guaranteed to be absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process.

THE GREAT WEST HOW IT IS BEING BROUGHT TO BETTER USEFULNESS. ADVANCE OF KNOWLEDGE Colorado Agricultural College Is Solving Problems of Plant Life in This New Land. Dr. George L. Knapp, a correspondent for the Rocky Mountain News, recently visited the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins, and made the following interesting report: "There are two tasks ahead of any school which devotes itself to the advancement of any trade or work or profession. One is the increase of the sum total of the knowledge relating to that work and the other is the spreading of this knowledge where it will do the most good. Speaking broadly, the schools of America have been successful beyond compare the spreading of existing knowledge, and have been beneath contempt in the advancement of knowledge of original research. Let us see, what the Fort Collins school is doing on each of these lines. "First, let us take the question of the advancement of knowledge—and remember that in agriculture, as in medicine or engineering, the only knowledge that counts is that embodied in concrete, usable form. An improved variety of wheat, for instance, or an improved breed of poultry represents more stored-up information than a hundred ordinary books. Agriculture is the science and art of dealing with living matter, of mastering the reproductive forces of nature, of molding animal and vegetable forms of life to human support and human profit. What is the Fort Collins school doing in this line? Work in Vegetable Department. Work in Vegetable Department. "Suppose we begin on the vegetable end of it, using 'vegetable' in the true rather than the restaurant sense of the term. This is where Olin has charge. W. H. Olin, a short, stout, sunburned little man, who can work like a steam engine and talk nineteen to the dozen to anyone who will listen to his favorite subject, for Olin talks ship. There are three great regions of cultivated plant life in Colorado—the dry plains in the eastern end of the state, the irrigated lands, and the high altitudes. If a state school is to justify its existence it must do something for each of these regions—and Olin even now has only 150 acres to experiment on. How on earth does he make it go round? "This way: The initial work is always done on blocks of one-tenth of an acre. Here are started the different plants which it seems worth while to experiment with. If they prove disappointing from the start there is an end of the matter. If they seem to warrant further work the next step is the field nursery. Here a hundred kernels are planted, eight inches apart each way, so that each individual plant can be started. Out of the hundred plants the best one is chosen and its seeds sown on an "increased block," whose size depends entirely on the yield of the favored plant. Then the seed from this block is sown next year on a still larger plot, care being taken to provide against any degeneracy; and so on, till in a few years the seed is ready for distribution. For instance, there are ten acres of improved Defiance wheat now growing at the college, the offspring of a single seed planted in 1903. This fall the yield off that ten acres will be distributed in twenty-five pound lots to farmers who have signified their willingness and shown their ability to help the school in its work of improving and trying out the field plants of the state. "This distribution, of course, is confined to the region to which the plant under trial is adapted. Since the school has no substations scattered through the different sections of the state, all the field trying out must be done by unofficial helpers, farmers who have become impressed with the value of the work the college is doing, and who are keen enough and careful enough to be of use as assistants. When you remember that the college is experimenting with wheat, oats, barley, rye, field peas, alfalfa, vetches, clover, sugar beets, and goodness knows how many other things, you will see that the finding of these assistants is a pretty big job in itself. It is only made possible by the awakening interest in farming through the state, an awakening for which this very school is in large part responsible. Winter Wheat Problem. "Professor Olin thinks that the problem of winter wheat for Colorado is about solved. He is still experimenting, for there is no knowing where a good thing may come from; but the turkey red wheat is so far decidedly ahead, either for irrigated land or for dry farming. The spring wheat question is not in so satisfactory condition. Under the ditch, the Defiance wheat has the call; and experiments are being conducted to get a variety of the Defiance that will stand drought, and so be useful on the dry plains. This work has arrived at the "increased block" stage; and is progressing pretty well. But the Durum wheat, especially the Kubana Durum, is as yet the most dependable for the dry regions. "It is often called 'macroni wheat' and 'barleywheat' from its use for making macaroni and its heavy beards. These beards and its extreme hardness make it anything rather than a favorite with the millers, though a Phillipsburg miller has learned how to 'temper' it so as to grind it with little trouble. Professor Olin is trying to breed the beards off. There are two ways of making such a change as this. One is to watch for variations, and select seed from the plants that vary in the desired direction. The school watched for years, and never a spear of Durum wheat appeared but what was as bearded as a Cossack. Then they tried the other scheme, crossing. The bearded Durum was crossed with Defance, and the beardless specimens of this hybrid are being selected and pred. It is working out nicely, and in another year or so will be ready for distribution to the unofficial helpers of the school. "Oats have never shown any drought-resisting properties, so Professor Olin is confining his efforts with this grain to increasing the yield and improving the milling qualities. Breeding of Animals. "And Professor Carlyle, dean of the school and head of the animal husbandry department, is doing work quite as fine as anything Professor Olin has attempted and work far more difficult. "And here let me say that the systematic and patient breeding of animals is the most bitterly needed thing in American agriculture. The curse of American breeding has been the restless, changeable nature of our people, who seem to think it a sin for two generations to follow the same business. Take the work of William Warfield, for instance, the breeder of Shorthorns at Lexington, Kentucky. Warfield was one of the born breeders, one of the kind who, in the words of Lord Elgin could 'chalk up an ideal on a blackboard and then go to work and produce it in flesh.' He had the best herd of Shorthorn cattle in North America. He bred the only stock that was equal to the imported cattle for improving our farm animals. I believe it to be well within the mark to say that Warfield was worth many millions of dollars to the United States. Well, he had to die at last, being human. He left three sons. One of them is a lawyer; two are preachers. The Warfield herd, the finest in America, is already scattered to the four winds, and all that splendid work is to do over again. The old man could breed cattle and preachers and lawyers, but to breed a breeder seemed beyond him. And so once more, we are running to England for bulls to improve our herds. "Now, what is the school doing to spread information among the farmers of the state? "Everything humanly possible with the force and equipment it has at the present time. "There were sixty-one pupils registered last year for the regular or long course. There were eighty-seven who were taking the short course—two years of three months each. This course, by the way, has been lengthened to five months. There were 117 attendants on the Farmers' courses, two weeks spent on the points which practical farmers are most anxious to learn quickly. In addition to this a large number of farmers' institutes have been held in every part of the state. Bulletins are sent out whenever the college or experiment station has anything to report, and the agricultural part of the school gets out about 1,000 letters per month. For the present year still more institutes are planned for, 100 in all, taking in every agricultural county in the state. Several short courses will be given in different parts of the state on local subjects—on fruit farming at Grand Junction, for instance, and other subjects at other places. And finally the annual visit of the farmers to the school is now a settled fact. "What does the state stand to win from all this work? "More than I know how to put before you. More, in my judgment, than from all the other state institutions put together. I have given you the figures on the alfalfa proposition. Let us look at the others. "You know already, of course, that Colorado mutton is the best and highest priced in the market. But Colorado pork might easily gain the same profitable eminence, and would be even more valuable. "Last winter a carload of San Luis hogs was shipped to Los Angeles as an experiment. Within a week from the time that pork was on the market the order was sent to the valley for eight carloads more. The eight followed the one and a lot more followed the eight. Los Angeles called so persistently for San Luis hogs and paid so fancy a price for them that Colorado Springs could get scarcely any of the valley ban. In all 140 carloads of hogs have gone from the San Luis valley to Los Angeles this year. They have brought a price considerably above the average market price. Swift & Co. and Armour have offered a regular premium of $1 per hundred over the usual market price for these Colorado hogs, provided they can get enough to keep a plant running. Portland, Oregon, has taken several carloads this year and paid for them handsomely, though the distance is so great and the shipping facilities so poor that the hogs had to be unloaded four times en route. "Why this demand? Because of the quality alone. San Luis hogs command a premium wherever people know the difference between sow belly and bacon, and are able to pay for the better article. Corn makes a greasy, lardy pork, that burns when you try to fry it crisp. Peas makes pork with a rich, nutty flavor that can be browned to a nicety and that tastes as much like the common salt side as it does like preserved strawberries. There is a demand in this country for the best, rather than the cheapest, and that demand it is Colorado's business to supply. The San Louis valley alone, if rightly cultivated, can furnish a million hogs a month, all pea fed; Middle park can do as much, the Wet Mountain valley is good for another nice bunch, and still you haven't got fairly started. And note this: The supremacy of Colorado pork is purely a matter of the feed. What it will be when we add intelligent selection of breeds to the choice of feeds you must figure out for yourselves. "The resources of Colorado are hardly scratched, and even the scratching has often been done with a conspicuous absence of judgment. It is the business of the agricultural college to correct this faulty judgment, to supply the data for a more correct estimate to arouse a spirit of pride in agricultural work, to get the farmer to mix brains with his soil, to make the experiment which no single farmer has a chance to make for himself. Is not such a work worthy of the best support that can be given it? "The cry has been raised for years that the young men and women are leaving the farms. This has been hailed, and rightly, I think, as a disaster, a disturbance of natural conditions. Washington.—In accordance with directions from President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft instructed the Governor Magoon to purchase all the church property in Cuba in the diocese of Havana, according to the original recommendations. As to the church property in the diocese of Santiago, for which an option contemplated the payment of about $600,000, the secretary says he has not been able thus far to secure information as to its value. He is not in a position, therefore, he says, to recommend that the option be exercised. The secretary says that the property is not of such a character that the yielding of it to the church will cause any great public inconvenience. The stipulated value of the property in Havana is $1,499,550. Under the terms of the contract entered into by the military government and the church authorities, the United States was given the option to buy this property, less twenty-five per cent. of the rent paid to June 1, 1907, which being $110,904, leaves a balance of $1,388,646 which it is proposed to pay. Before acting, Secretary Taft submitted a long memorandum to President Reosevelt, which gave in detail the history of the entire matter. In this the secretary speaks of an offer of Sir William Redding to purchase the property in Havana diocese at the full price of $1,499,950, and says Governor Magoon cabled him that he had good reason to believe the offer was made in the interests, not of a fruit company alone, but also in the interest of a line of steamships. The amount is over $110,000 more than the government will have to pay. The great bone of contention is whether the custom house property, whose great value is its proximity to the wharf, is worth $1,050,000 alone, but when it is considered from the standpoint of a government that must have the property, and which it does not get it by contract must obtain it by expropriation, there is not the slightest doubt in his mind of the wisdom of exercising the option to purchase it. State Appropriations Will Be Taxed. Denver.—During the current biennial period it will require $2,384,018 to meet the running expenses of the state of Colorado. State Auditor George D. Statier has just completed the classification of the various appropriations made by the Sixteenth General Assembly, and they aggregate this amount. "It is probable that we shall have enough money to pay all of these appropriations, although, of course, as is always the case, some will receive consideration over others. The secretary of state, the insurance commissioner, and in fact all the departments, inform me that their revenues will be largely increased this term. Besides, the state board of equalization has increased the valuation on corporate property, so that while the appropriations are larger than ever before, there will be large revenues to meet them." In classifying appropriations they are divided into five classes. The first class includes the ordinary expenses of the legislative, executive and judicial departments, with the interest on the public debt. The second class provides for the appropriations made to the penal and corrective institutions; the third class, the educational and sharitable institutions; the fourth, any other officers, bureaus, boards, etc., and the fifth, all other expenses. The railway commissioners are placed in the first class, with an appropriation of $27,000. The appropriation for the Kansas-Colorado water case, amounting to $18,500, and which is to be used to complete the payment of attorneys' fees, is placed in this class, as so the recodification of the Colorado statutes, for which $21,000 was appropriated. The workshop of the blind appropriation, amounting to $10,000 heads the list of the third class appropriations. This will insure the establishment of the workshop, as the appropriations for the state university, normal school, etc. are included in this class. The state fair appropriation for $12,000 is listed in the fourth class, also the traveling library appropriation of $4,000. Baby Eats Poison and Dies. Central City, Colo.—Mistaking strychnine tablets, which had been prescribed for a young woman visitor, for candy, the eighteen-months-old daughter of Albert Auger, ate eight of them and died in great agony. The poison belonged to Miss Mary Carter, who is here from Michigan on a vacation. The high altitude had affected her heart slightly and a doctor yesterday morning ordered her to take strychnine. She purchased the tablets and allowed them to remain on the bureau. Mrs. Auger was unaware of the presence of the drug in the house until the child came from the bedroom about 5 o'clock, holding up her little hand full of pink pills, saying, "Look at the pretty candy." The mother immediately snatched the medicine from her hand and succeeded in taking several of the pills from the little one's mouth before she swallowe them. A doctor was summoned, but when he arrived the child had gone into convulsions and the efforts of the physician to save her were in vain. The baby suffered great pain. The parents as well as Miss Carter are prostrated over the tragic death of the little one, an only child and pet of the neighborhood. Preacher Can's Live on $2,000. Colorado Springs.—Because he could not live on the salary paid him by his fashionable congregation the Rev. Crayton S. Brooks has resigned his pastorate of the First Christian church of this city. Dr. Brooks made the announcement of his resignation from the pulpit yesterday and explained that during the two years and a half he has been in Colorado Springs his living expenses had averaged $500 a year more than his salary, which is $2,000. Four months ago the First Christian church of Newcastle, Tennessee, extended him a call at a salary of $2,500 and he accepted it. Dr. Brooks will go into his new field of work September 14.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. THE Denver Engraving Company, 1814 Curtis street, has issued a handsome booklet illustrative of its work and of the various processes by which its cuts and engravings are produced. One of its prominent illustrations is a reproduction of the heading of The Colorado Statesman, which was designed by its artists. Its use in this capacity denotes that the company is as proud as we are of its production, and we know that we carry one of the most completely representative and artistic headings to be found among either the large number of local or outside newspapers which come under our observation. The clay model and half-tone work done by this company are also of the highest grade and speak volumes for the perfection of the engravers' art in Denver. SOCIETY EMBLEMS THE INDUSTRIAL SETTLEMENT IDEA. THE VOICE, a Negro magazine published at Chicago, gives an outline and review of a new departure instituted by Negroes in Alabama, which, it strikes us, is likely to prove more important in the coming years than anything else to which we are now paying attention in the way of industrial development. It is the idea of industrial settlement, or "community uplift," as the Voice calls it, and consists in the establishment of communities in rural districts upon an incorporated company basis, and the building up of these communities by consolidated effort along usual industrial lines "under the supervision of a general board of directors comprising experienced business men," so far as they may be attainable, of course. The originator of the idea is a young Negro named William E. Benson, a graduate of Howard University, who has established the town of Kowaliga, in Elmore county, Alabama. An official report by Mr. Benson makes the subject clearer to the reader. He says: "The Dixie Industrial Company was incorporated under the laws of Alabama in 1900, with a capital of $10,000, and secured its first tract of 5,000 acres of land with a few delapidated cabins. The company now has a paid-up capital of $53,000; owns nearly 9,000 acres of splendid farm and timber land, operates a saw-mill, shingle-mill, turpentine still, and plantation store. It has built eighteen cottages, and leases forty farms, furnishing employment to nearly 300 Negroes. The company has cleared over twenty per cent. on the entire capital invested, having accumulated a surplus of more than $12,000 up to date. At the last meeting of its directors an annual dividend of four per cent. was declared, and an additional capital stock of $47,000 was voted, placing the total capitalization at $100,000. The distinctive feature of the "industrial settlement idea" is that it engages every individual in the community, from the children in the school to the parents in the farms and industries." In fact the idea is to make the entire community sharers in the profits of the municipality, which, through the corporation, conducts the enterprises. It insures employment and successful living and makes the community entirely self-supporting and independent. In some respects it resembles the Utopian ideas of the Socialists, though we presume that no bar is to be put upon individual ownership or enterprise. Mr. Benson even suggests that capitalists or philanthropists might reap double benefits by multiplying this idea. He says: "Could similar enterprises, properly supported by conservative capital, be established throughout the southern communities, . . . instead of becoming more and more expensive as they were increased, they would become more and more profitable as they were made prosperous. I believe in this way we would strike at the root of a perplexing problem and do more towards raising the horizontal level of the masses and lessening the demands for pure charity than anything we know of." Kowaliga is sixteen miles from any railway station, and if the success of the idea can be demonstrated there under these circumstances, its practical value cannot be questioned. All of the institutions and enterprices of a modern, progressive community are included in the plans of this company village, and it bids fair to become an example which will give new hope and aspiration to the entire Negro race.

How can a woman expect to have a foot that is a poem, as in the Greek statues, when she massacres it with the modern tight fitting shoe?

I have had Venus of Milo in my studio a score of time, Apollo and Adonis by the dozen. We pass beauty in the streets, but have no eyes to see it. We look only for a roguish eye, a full red lip, the graceful movement of hip or carriage of shoulder, and we attach enormous importance to elegance and dress; but for proportion and harmony we never look. And as for the royal beauty of the male, it hardly ever occurs to us. And as we have no eyes to see, we have no ears to hear. I am no poet, no musician, but a hundred times I have heard in the forest the divine organ of which my friend Victor Hugo spoke.

One great weakness in our churches to-day is that they are lacking in virility—in true manliness. They have become too effeminate in theology and in methods of work. There is too much of the millinery and not enough of the military atmosphere, and as a consequence men are wanting in our churches. 2149 Curtis Sreet. Phone Main 8232. It was not so in the beginning. Christ spent much of his time among men. He was himself a prince among them. His 12 apostles constituted the first men's club to study the doctrines and carry out the aims of Christianity. At one time he sent out 70 men, two by two, to win others to him. LAWRENCE STEPHEN. Jesus exhibited consummate wisdom when he put the burden of propagandaism upon the shoulders of men, and until within recent times the varying fortunes of the church, with few exceptions, have been directed by men. It must continue to be so if the church conducts a conquering campaign. COSMOPOLITAN CAFE JACK SHELBUN, Proprietor. SUPERIOR SERVICE 100 A WOMAN The church has lost its grasp on men because it lacks courageous, aggressive statesmanship in grappling with large and difficult conditions in a large and heroic way. Men like to fight. They do not like to live in peace. The chief cause of our manless churches lies in the fact that the church has for ages been cultivating the female side of religion. The prevalence of women in our churches has become a by-word. PRIVATE DINING ROOM The infidel sees in the fact that religion has played out. It has lost the respect of men and become only good for women and children. But this is an exaggerated statement. Men may lose interest in ecclesiasticism and still be deeply religious. They may lose respect and honor for the church, simply because the church is lacking in virility. 1922 LAWRENCE ST. PHONE MAIN 3785.

A man does not care to have moral sweetmeats dealt out to him, no matter how toothsome they may be. What he wants is to be aroused to think, called upon to decide, challenged to a conflict. PETER H. BURKE Religion is not a mere sentiment or emotional piety, it is the cleanest, straightest, sensiblest of business propositions, addressed to the intelligence of men. If the church wishes to retain its hold on men, it must cultivate the manly elements. Full-Rounded Charity Needed By DR. JENKIN LLOYD JONES.

Bread and shelter are the meanest PASTIME SOCIAL CLUB RESORT FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. and smallest gifts we can give to an unfortunate. He who relieves his conscience and discharges his duty toward the miserable by sending a check to the church treasurer or to the relief and aid society may find that this counts but little in the spiritual valuations of life. Only those things born of love, illumined with tenderness and sacrifice get into the credit side of the spiritual ledger.

Colorado DUTCH DINNER FOR SUMMER. Satisfactory Meal When the Temperature Is Soaring. For a cold Dutch dinner for a hot summer night place upon a polished table a large lace centerpiece and under each plate place a dolly to match. In the middle of the table put a boat or shoe of Dresden china filled with blue corn flowers. Use glass candlesticks with white candles and blue and white empire shades, blue and white Dresden china, and cut glass, when it is needed. Use as little silver as possible in serving. The place cards are blue and white windmills with the name on the upright arm of paddle. A blue and silver fan, swung by white ribbons from the back of each lady's chair is a dainty and acceptable souvenir, while at each man's plate a dainty bunch of corn flowers for his buttonhole may be placed. If possible have the maids in blue dresses with white aprons and Dutch caps. Olives, salted nuts, bonbons, and so on, should be served in china wheelbarrows, boats and shoes. Above the table swing a large five-pointed star of ferns and depend from the center a crescent of corn flowers. If a still greater transformation in the appearance of the room is desired, slip covers of blue and white Dresden silk may be used for the dining-room chairs. These are cool looking and dainty, also allowable for the season. The menu suggestions always are flexible and may be changed according to the ideas of the hostess or to the possibilities of the market at this season. A Curtain Effect A pretty way to arrange bedroom window curtains is this: The upper sash is hung with a dainty flowered muslin, and the lower with a filmy madras. Both are simple sash curtains and thus will be easily laundered. The colored curtain is protected from the light by the shade, which is usually drawn to the middle of the window. For this reason the colored curtain will not be liable to fade. The colored curtain is much prettier if ruffled with white. This scheme gives a charming touch of color at the windows, but admits of the use of the sash curtain as a screen for the lower part of the window. A good clothes rack is made of lumber one inch square, of oblong shape, the longest side being five feet and the shortest side three feet in length. One side is hinged to the wall at a convenient height and place. A small screw pulley wheel is screwed into the ceiling directly above the center of the frame. Attach a rope to the outside edge of the frame, passing it through the pulley above so as to raise or lower as you wish. Small ropes are fastened to the frame lengthwise, in parallel lines, nine inches apart. When not in use this can be drawn close to the wall. A Hot Weather Dessert. Pineapple Cream.—The foundation for this delicious dessert is a can of pineapple, or a pineapple large enough to fill a pint measure when shredded. Shred very fine and bring to a boil with half a pound of sugar, strain over half an ounce of gelatine which has been dissolved in just enough cold water to cover it. When cool, but not yet formed, stir in the beaten whites of three eggs and half a pint of whipped cream; pour into a mold and set on ice to cool. If you use the canned, shredded pineapple, which is almost like preserves, you will not need to add the sugar. You can make over your old lace embroidery shirt waists for your little girl even if they are open in front. Take your pattern and lay on the waist and cut. You will be surprised to see how nicely it will make up. They will look nice worn with jumper skirts. Keep Old Strainers Don't throw away your old coffee strainer. Hang it over the sink and use, when emptying tea or coffee pot, to catch the tea leaves or coffee grounds, which can be then emptied on to a paper and put in to garbage. A strainer about three or three and one-half inches in diameter is suitable for this purpose. The rat may be all that the government declares it is, but, nevertheless, the maid with the scraggy front hair will continue to wear it. W. P. HORAN, UNDERTAKER PHONE 1368. 1527 Cleveland Place.

"Well, well!" exclaimed the man who had wandered back to the village. "So the Eagle house is still the Eagle house?" No change after twenty years." "There hev been a few changes," asserted the oldest inhabitant with some ascribity. "Since you've been gone the hotel hez been respectively the Grand Union, the Grand Central, the Grand Junction, the Great Northern, the Great Southern, the Imperial, the Regal, the Empire, the Monarch, the Prince of Wales, the Regent, an' a few other royalties which I disrecollect, the Mansion house six times an' the Eagle house seven, the latter happenin to be its proud patronymic at present writin'.

Washington.—There are stored in the basement of the capitol, in the old government printing office, in the Balty building, in the old car barns and in two rented warehouses more than 9,500 tons of documents and reports—enough to fill freight train more than three miles long, according to Victor L. Rickett, secretary of the printing investigation commission appointed two years ago. In addition to its own storage capacity, the government is paying $18,500 a year in rentals. A large proportion of these documents are obsolete. The joint committee on printing cut off this year nearly a million volumes of the congressional printing alone, and in this the committee only touched the waste which was piling up in the warehouses to rot. It cost the government millions of dollars for labor and material to no useful purpose—New York World. Denver Directory YOUNG PARROTS NOW IN. All other kinds of birds and gold fish.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. New Automatic Rifle. The self-loading or automatic musket is now being seriously considered as the infantry arm of the future. The equipment of the great armies of the world with an improved rifle is hardly completed when the mechanics begin work on a new weapon. At the recent examinations of the German War Academy the automatic rifle was one of the themes for discussion. The piece now on trial has a magazine holding ten cartridges; the recoil is utilized to load and cock. Consequently the soldier can remain quietly in position, never removing his eye from the target, and fire his ten shots.—New York Sun. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the lesired 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. Riddle. "What is the difference between a chauffeur and a surgeon?" asked the every ready joker. "Give it up," answered the man who was bored. "The chauffeur runs people down and the surgeon cuts them up."

With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the team 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.

While digging a well near Kersey recently a vein of coal was discovered. The find is being investigated. Colorado small fruit is plentiful on the markets, and Texas and California products must take a back shelf. Greeley proposes to build a boy palace as one of the attractions for the big exposition to be held there August 21, 22 and 23. Mrs. A. C. Morris, a farmer's wife living near Durango, committed suicide by hanging herself. It is thought she was insane. W. H. Gribble, one of the state builders who braved the adversities of early days, died June 27 at his home in Canon City. William Allen White, the author who became famous by writing "What's the Matter with Kansas?" is rusticating at Manitou. After an illness of many months, Mrs. E. P. Mawzey, wife of Justice of the Peace Mawzey, at Boulder, is dead. She was over 70 years old. Annette, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Virhillon, was drowned in an irrigation ditch at Fort Collins one day last week. The state bankers held their annual meeting at Fort Collins last week, and for a few days Young City was the richest spot in Colorado. W. L. Anderson, a printer from Eagleville, Missouri, fell beneath the wheels of a moving train at Grand Junction and died shortly afterwards from injuries. Mrs. O. E. Hawkins, a Denver woman, believing her husband to be untrue to her, poured coal oil on her clothes and set them on fire. She was rescued before serious results. Pueblo,—John Cook, son of Congressman George W. Cook, of Denver, died June 30 at a private sanitarium in Pueblo, where he had been a patient for several months. Frank Kirk, who is getting out a directory for Longmont, has counted the people there who are 18 and finds there are 2,338. Estimating that there are twice as many people under 18 as there are over that age, he fixes the population of Longmont at 7,014. After suffering for over six months with what he thought was rheumatism, Chief of Police J. R. Gregory of Colorado City secured relief by drawing from his left thigh a needle more than two inches long. An X-ray photograph will be taken of his leg in an effort to trace the course of the needle. John Hickey, an old settler living at Sunlight, was burned to death in his cabin. Hickey was quite old and had lived the life of a hermit for several years. Parties who found the body this morning in the charred embers of his cabin brought it here. There was nothing to indicate the cause of the fire. When his body was found it was in a position showing that he had tried to fight the blaze, but had been overcome by smoke and fallen just inside the door. Hickey had supported himself the last few years by doing work for neighbors. As he had no known relatives, the body was buried at the expense of the county. Charles Whatles, recently manager of the Northern Colorado Power Company electric light office at Greeley, was found guilty in the District Court of grand larceny. Whatles and Arthur Robertson, foreman of the line gang, were charged with larceny of a ton of copper wire, valued at $600, from the company, Robertson confessed and implicated Whatles. "The Colorado Veterans of the Civic and Indian Wars Monument Society" is the name of an organization soon to be formed by Hon. J. B. Stephen, Judge John McCoach, W. P. Epperson and other prominent Colorado City residents. The primary object is to erect a monument to the memory of Col. J. M. Chivington of the First Colorado Volunteers, the hero of the battle of Sand Creek. Charging that his father-in-law, George Chandler of Nunn, will not give him sufficient possession of his two young children, although he has been repeatedly begged to do so. J. Brown of Longmont, aged 22, has taken legal steps to secure the children. The youngsters are 3 years and 8 months old, respectively, and their mother died last November. The fa ther says his father-in-law has eight children of his own. A Longmont special of the 30th says; "Some of the farmers in this section that were hailed out last Tuesday are cutting their hay that was left, one man getting ten tons off eighty acres. Although it is not worth the work it entails, this must be done in order to give the second growth of alfalfa a chance. Others are getting ready to plow where nothing was left by the hail. While to those farmers whose crops were destroyed it was a great loss, taking this section as a whole, the loss would not amount to over 10 per cent, and some of this was covered by insurance. Beets are rapidly recovering and promise an unusual yield to the acre, and the out look for an abundant harvest was never better. A meeting of farmers and business men was held at Greeley to further consider the financing of an Empson canning factory there. The proposition presented by Mr. Empson is favorably regarded by the people. As Sterling, president of the First National Bank; William Mayer, a merchant; J. M. B. Petrikin, cashier of the First National Bank; Senator W. L. Clayton, B. D. Sanborn and George Houston have each pledged $1,000. Small subscriptions will be taken, as the idea is to get every business man interested. It was decided to begin work in Greeley to solicit both stock and cash by subscription. In connection with the canning, Mr. Empson will have a tin can factory. Heretofore he has purchased his cans. He has not decided whether the can factory will be located at Longmont or Greeley, but it is understood that he favors Greeley. The factory will be operated during the winter when the canning factory is idle. The proposed cannery will have a capacity of 12,000 cans an hour, and the making of cans will require a large plant. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Remedies Brought Prompt Relief. "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got to relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

It a soft, indented crown and brim, which has something of room slope. This hat is to travelling or sporting wear, as The slight upward tilt, which leaves the hair above the forehead uncovered, is exceedingly attractive and it makes a woman look wonderfully young and unsophisticated; but then there is a limit and some seem inclined to go beyond it. I have frequently had occasion to remark on the charm of the picture fashions so much in vogue this summer, and never, that I can remember, were our hats more deliciously becoming; but when the upward tilt is carried to extreme exaggeration it borders on the ridiculous, for the hair at the back of the head is, practically, covered, and the impression conveyed is that some rude person has caught the hat and deliberately pulled it back from the face, jamming it down on the back of the head at the same time. When a cloche hat is in question—and this season the cloche may be sald to be ubiquitous—the perfect manner of wearing it is absolutely straight on the head—that is to say, neither raised at the back nor at the front. It may be coquettishly tilted to one side, just a trifle, with the best effects, but the cloche should seem to rest right on the hair and to mingle with it! At the beginning of the season the cloche and mushroom hats sent out from the best millinery ateliers were of considerable size, but those of the present moment are not in the least exaggerated in outline. The full crown, of point d'esprit, or embroidered tulle, is rather high and important looking, and for that reason the drooping brim does not attract unde attention. An amazing number of large wings are used in the trimming of toques for morning wear, and the Coq de roche is to be seen on nearly all the best models. Tuscan hats in cloche form are very charming when trimmed with a fringed scarf of ivory gauze and with a number of pale grey and white wings, the rich yellow of the straw harmonizing delightfully with all shades of grey, but it is especially effective when combined with pale pearl tints. Tuscan hats continue to reign supreme, but crinoline straw is also in great favor, and there is a new make of chip, which looks lovely when combined with straw-colored point 'd'esprit. This chip is coarser than the chip of last year, and for that reason it is rather more effective. I have seen it used with crinoline straw, and the effect pleased me very much. Quantities of beautiful roses are arranged in careless looking garlands on hats of the garden party order, and with these roses long lengths of broad satin ribbons, the latter almost invariably being permitted to fall in careless ends over the shoulders. These floating ends look delightfully festive when worn with lace and muslin frocks, but, of course, they are entirely out of place on a hat which is intended to accompany a tailor made. The hat in the lower left-hand corner of our sketch can be worn with much advantage with almost any of the simpler summer costumes, and will be found vastly becoming, as well as pleasantly light and cool. It is obtainable in brilliant straw of several leading colors, such as navy blue, green and Tuscan, the brim showing the almost inevitable, and certainly attractive, mushroom curves; while for its trimming, a figured silk scarf, which introduces some effective contrast of color, is draped round the crown and loosely knotted at one side where the ends fall over the brim. The hat displayed in the lower right-hand corner is of cloth and may be of any color, or may be made of cloth to match the costume worn. There is a soft, indented crown and a firm brim, which has something of a mushroom slope. This hat is ideal for traveling or sporting wear, as there is absolutely nothing to get out of order, the natural feather mount which finishes it off at the side being quite unaffected by even a downpour of rain. SHORT CHAPTER ON DRESS Mauve and pink are undoubtedly among the popular combinations. The formar color, however, is not much worn unadorned, while the latter in every possible shade owns its devotees by the hundreds. Much as I admire the dull soft tone of conspicuous favor, I realize, however, that, to most women pale blue is infinitely more becoming, and I hold a brief perpetually for the charms of summer dresses made of very pale blue volle with straw hats trimmed with pink roses, and I am reminded whilst I write of a particularly good specimen of soft, thin pastel blue cloth which I met completed with a high-crowned crinoline hat encircled with roses shading from pink to mauve, over M. K. Handsome Summer Gown. which was thrown a net veil of grey tone edged with a narrow silk fringe. An ideal costume for morning wear at the immediate moment is made of a very thin twilled light grey cloth the coat being innocent of trimming save for narrow insets of black and white striped drill which appear on either side of the large silver buttons, decorating the fronts, while at the neck a waistcoat of white plique puts in a welcome appearance, and the sleeves bear narrow frills of hem stitched lawn. A pretty effect this has, and enhanced by a white lawn shirt and a plain skirt cut on the cross fitting tightly round the hips and bearing but a few folds at the back. In following out the design of the dress shown a touch of silk can be given place in the center of the diamond-shaped medallions, and a narrow piping used to finish off the collar band of the lace chemisette which, by the way, should be made detachable and in duplicate, so that it can always be kept quite fresh.

Miss Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, narrated recently at Atlantic City an episode in which she shared during a visit to the Insane asylum at Norristown, Pa., that she made some years ago. Miss Barton went all through the huge and well-kept asylum, and nothing extraordinary happened till she was departing. Then two men, conversing earnestly together, came over the lawn toward her. The first, lifting his hat politely, said: "Madam, I am the Angel Gabriel, and I have been sent here by our Lord to inquire into the state of your spiritual health." Before Miss Barton could reply the second man spoke up: "Pay no attention, madam," he said "to this person. I am God the Father and I assure you that I assigned no one to such an errand." 2317-19 Larimer Street 1015 1017 15th St 1012 19th St., Denver. Verse from Solomon. Told of Marriage Engagement. When she left her home in the small town to come to New York to take up a special course of study, her pet sister was fast reaching the crisis of a love affair, says the Tribune. The pet sister was a most winsome young lady, and had long kept a goodly train of suitors a-sighing. Was this affair to be the grand affair? The older sister hoped so, for she liked the young man cordially—thought he was just the sort to make a proper brother-in-law. But the weeks passed and not a bit of definite news about the progress of the affair did the older sister receive in her city boarding house. She became anxious. Louise, she thought, must not go on recklessly trifling in such important matters. Then one night about ten o'clock just as she was going to bed, came telegram. The servant brought it up. The older sister was country girl enough to be thoroughly frightened by the pale manila, black-inked envelope. How ominous it looked. At length she gathered courage to open it. This is what she read: "Solomon six three. Louise." Solomon six three! Whatever in the world. Oh, why, yes, stupid, it of course means the Songs of Solomon, sixth chapter, third verse. But—and her cheeks flushed with shame—she had no Bible! There was a great scurrying about the boarding house to find a copy of the sacred book. The girls were routed ont in vain. On all sides the cry arose: "Who's got a Bible?" Just think of the sister trying to sleep that night without knowing what that verse was! It would have been just like a woman to lie down to pleasant dreams, content to know that she could satisfy her curiosity in the morning—not! The landlady, good soul, came to the rescue. She was no heathen. She had a Bible. Up to her room with it flew the sister, and shut the door. Such a turning of pages by eager, nervous fingers! Solomon six three. She found it, and then she cried: "Hurrah!" and laughed, for the verse was: "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." An Embryo Genius. Surely. A private school for boys on Madi's son avenue boasts of a pupil who un doubtedly is destined to high rank as a literary genius, says the New York Press. For some infraction of discipline this boy was sentenced to remain after hours and write an essay of 200 words on birds. This is what he wrote: "I do not like birds, for in the morning when I am trying to sleep they keep me awake with their twitching, twitching, twitching, twitching, twitching, twitching, twitching, twitching." And so on to the extent of about 25 words more. "And when I get mad and turn over and try and try and try and try and try to get to sleep they still continue to chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp." And so on as before. "Birds, too, are awful greedy things. They don't do nothing all day but fly around and peck, peck, peck, peck, peck, peck." And so on until the required number of words was completed. The Real Obstacle at Panama. The white man at Panama must avoid that which he cannot endure. We have proved that he cannot allow mosquitoes to bite him, and now it must be acknowledged that he cannot allow the sunlight to strike his unprotected body. We eliminated the mosquitoes, but we cannot eliminate the sun. The soldier who deliberately and unnecessarily exposes himself to bullets when he could take cover is not only a fool, but he is not a true soldier. His fatal recklessness only weakens the army. The engineer who can work all day in the open in Michigan or New York should not do it in Panama, writes an army surgeon, Maj. Charles E. Woodruff, in Harper's, and if he attempts it he is injuring the work instead of helping it along. Times Had Changed. "Did you and pa start with plenty of money?" asked the daughter. "We lived upon very little else but love, dear?" was the mother's gentle answer. "But I suppose pa soon got lots of salary?" "No, dear, it was a great struggle at first." "Then how did you manage? Pa had a little irr the bank?" "Not a farthing." "O, my George is in just the same position, and we love each other, and—" "If that penniless adventurer ever dares to enter this house again, I will tell him what I think of him! Go to your room at once!"—Stray Stories. German Military Training. Germany, through the thrift, intelligence, and prosperity of her people, illustrates to mankind the advantages of training in youth her manhood to the use of arms; the habits of discipline and the order and cleanliness of person are carried into after-life by all classes of modern Germans; this permeates the whole nation, and is to-day recognized as a national characteristic. The womanhood of the nation looks with reproach upon the man ignorant of military training. African Monthly.
