Governor Terrell's Message to Georgia Legislature. Garfield's Funeral Expenses yet Unpaid. Negro's Achievement in Colle. VOL. XIII, Washing Governor Terrell's Message to Geor al Expenses yet Unpaid. N giate and Intercollegiate Session of Afro-A The Georgia Legislature convened June 26, in regular annual session. Governor Terrell's message was read in both houses and dealt largely with taxation, educational matters and monuments to confederate soldiers. It was ominously silent on the race question. Perhaps the Governor thinks that Mr. Ray Stannard Baker in the American Magizine has said so much that is pertinent and suggestive, that anything more from him would be superfluous. It will be interesting news to many that the funeral expenses of President Garfield have never been paid. The recent death of Mr. W. R. Speare, the veteran undertaker of Washington has brought this fact to light. It seems that soon after the death of Mr. Garfield, Congress passed a bill appropriating a sum of money with which to defray all expenses. The bill carried a provision, however, that the Secretary of the Treasury should appoint a commission whose duty it should be to investigate all charges and require all those presenting claims to file receipted bills for the full amount of their claim and agreeing to accept whatever amount should be awarded by the commission. This idea did not appeal to the late Mr. Speare as a good business proposition so he refused to comply and the bill still remains unpaid. Congressional relief is probably the only recourse left to the estate of the deceased for the collection of the debt, which is doubtless quite a neat little sum. There is scarcely anything more promising to the Negro in the problem of the races than their easy and continuous achievements within the sphere of collegiate and intercollegiate work. There has not been a year for a good while past that his conscientious efforts and native ability have not been rewarded in some signal way that has reflected additional honor and prestige upon the individual as well as the race at large. The literary and educational The literary and educational world, especially that known to the confines of America experienced a severe jolt when it was heralded far and wide that a Negro had carried off with exceptional ability one of the world-famed Rhodes scholarships. The young Negro who thus distinguished himself, Mr. Allain LeRoy Locke, was in the full swing of his senior Harard year when he met the tests, defeated all comers and was awarded the palm of victory. Not content with this he entered the lists again and won out from a large field at the close of the year, a much coveted honor carrying with it a purse of $250. Now comes Mr. Eugene J. Marshall, a student of the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Marshal was born at Detroit and has perhaps won more oratorical honors than any man identified with American college life. He represented the Detroit Central High School in oratory and secured second place in the state championship contest for Michigan. He represented the same school against Orchard Lake Academy and was class orator in the Law department of the Univ. of Mich. three years in succession and represented the same University in the Northern Oratorical League contest at Minneapolis in 1903. The League is composed of the Universities of Michigan., Chicago, Northwestern, Minneapolis, Iowa, Wisconsin and Oberlin. Mr. Marshall won second prize in this League and in addition the Chicago Alumnae medal for excellency in oratory and the Frank B. Lowden Testimonial of seventy-five dollars. The crowning prize among the many honors which have come to him is a life membership in the famous Hamilton Club of Chicago. When it is known that Mr. Marshall has won his way to so much success, while force by necessity to perform labor of a most menial character, the splendor of his achievements take on an additional grandeur and should be an incentive and inspiration to every Negro student in America. The tenth annual meeting of the Afro-American Council was held in Baltimore on the 26, 27 and 28th of June. Bishop Alexander Walters of Jersey City, N. J.. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1907. President of the Council made a stirring address at the night session on the 26. In the course of his remarks he referred to Senator J. B. Foraker as the "Noblest Roman of them all" and invoked in his behalf the unflinching support of the race at all times and in whatever way he may ask it. Dr. S. L. Corrothers of Washington made the principal address at the morning session and paid his respects in burning language to the President and Secretary Taft. Concerning Mr. Booker T. Washington he felf that he was being used as the political agent of the President and through such means much injustice was being done the Negro. Rev. A. H. Gaines, in whose church the sessions were held welcomed the delegates in these words "Ten millions of American citizens, of whatever race they may be, must be reckoned with, because of the genius of the American experiment of government. It is the opinion of the local committee and we believe it to be the opinion of the National Council, that ten millions of American citizens are denied by American prejudice, complete enjoyment of their natural rights. We submit also that American prejudice has grown to the extent that for ten million Negro Americans, the constitutional guarantee of the jury trial, evidence and punishment, mean absolutely nothing." The second days sessions of the Council were enlivened by further attacks upon the administration, the vigorous denunciation of Tillman, Vardaman and Tom Dixon and an animated discussion between Prof. Kelly Miller and Dr. S. L. Corrothers concerning the expediency of noisy agitation. Rev. Corrothers was of the opinion that the time was past for keeping quiet and that even the black man who stood in the way of the race obtaining fair consideration, should be struck out of the way. Prof. Miller was in favor of more effective and general organization and less "frothy talk" at the present time. Negro organizations up to the present had accomplished practically nothing in his opinion. The Professor has put it very accurately when he speaks of "frothy talk" for the real benefits accruing from ten years of local and national organization under the Council, presents nothing more substantial than the phosphorescent foam occasioned by the frantic efforts of a noisy little side-wheel steamer. The spectators gather on the shore and are amused and entertained by the ludicrous spectacle. The performance is simply a periodical diversion to the monotony of an up-river landing. The folks on the shore know that after a season of puffing and blowing and sweating and steaming, the little craft will at last snuggle quietly up by the side of the old warf and give up all it has on board and take on any old thing offered in much the same way as formerly. JOHN H. PAYNTER. TO BE TREATED ALIKE. Washington, July 8. The Interstate Commerce Commission in a decision today in the case of Georgia Edwards against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad held that where a railroad provided certain accomodations first class for the white passengers, it is commanded by law that like accomodations shall be provided for Negroes who have purchased first class tickets. It holds that in this case it is manifest the railroad "has unduly and unjustly discriminated in some particulars against colored passengers" and orders that where the railroads provide a wash bowl and towels in the coaches for white passengers and a separate smoking compartment, similar accomodations shall be provided for Negro passengers paying similar fare. The complainant, who had purchased a first class ticket from Chattanooga, Tenn. to Dalton, Ga. was removed from a car for whites to one for Negroes, and complained that she was discriminated against because of her color and was not afforded equal facilities. Commissioner Lane, who rendered the decision of the Commission, held: "The expense of the small smoking compartment in the latter (the cars for whites) accounts for nearly all the difference in cost between the two cars." He holds that the broad question of the right under the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the constitution to segregate white and colored passengers has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. The opinion continues: "Accepting these decisions as conclusive upon the constitutionality of such laws, we turn to the to the consideration of the reasonableness of such a rule when imposed by the carrier; and this we find to have been passed upon by this commission within a few months of its organization in the case of Council versus Western and Atlantic Railroad, which was decided December 3, 1887, and which held this separation may be carried out on railroad trains with out disadvantage to either race and with increased comfort to both. "Again, in Heard versus Georgia Railroad Company decided Feb. 15, 1888, the commission held that the separation of white and colored passengers paying the same fare is not unlawful, if cars and accom- modations equal in all respects are furnished to both and the same cars and protection of passengers is observed. "While, therefore, the reasonableness of such regulation as to interstate passenger traffic is established, it by no means follows that carriers may discriminate between white and colored passengers in the accomodations which they furnish to each. The principle that must govern is that the carriers must serve equally well all passengers, whether white or colored, paying the same fare. Failure to do this is discrimination and subjects the passenger to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Joe Gans is erecting a $20,000 hotel at Baltimore. Monk Gipson who was charged with being implicated in the murder of the Conditt family at Edna, Texas, in 1905, was on trial at Cuero last week and was sentenced to die. It is to be hoped that an appeal will be taken. A threatened race war involving twenty colored students at the summer school of the University of Chicago and an equal number of Southern white students, agitated members of the faculty of the big institution on the Midway last week. When three colored students took seats at the Commons table several of the attendants from the South rose and left the room. Three Texas students made angry protest when colored swimmers appeared in the gymnasium tank. All of the Southern students, it is said, have threatened to leave the university as a result of the trouble. Poormaster Kenyon of Janesville, Wis., moved to the county farm two of the oldest inhabitants of Rock county, Francis Davis, aged one hundred and nine, and his wife, Hattie Davis, aged one hundred and seven. Both were born in slavery, and both remember distinctly the war of 1812. David obtained his freedom just before the war and cooked for General Grant during his service in the Western army, and his wife was liberated by Sherman's soldiers on their march to the sea and followed them North. Until recently they owned a little farm, but at their request have been sent to the poor farm. Montgomery, Ala., July 2.—One brother offering himself to be NO. 42. hanged for another is a development in the office of Sheriff Belzer to-day, the Rev. John Beeman, a Baptist preacher, and a brother of David Beeman, a Negro, who is sentenced to be hanged on July 26th for the murder of his wife, "I am much better prepared to die than David," John Beeman said, "I believe if I took his place I would go to heaven, and David would not. I believe it would have a good effect on David if I did make the sacrifice, and that it would make a better man of him, and that we would meet in heaven." The Negro spoke with earnestness. He is an intelligent Negro and realizes what he is doing. Beeman killed his wife with an ax near Grady as the result of a quarrel. The Negro seemed surprised and hurt when told that the State could not sacrifice him. COLO. SPRINGS NOTES Dr. and Mrs. Rowells of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, are in the city for the summer. In the absence of Rev. Tillman last Sunday, Sister Watson of Pueblo, filled the pulpit in the morning and a grand spiritual feast was enjoyed. F. M. Roberts, secretary of the Freeman Mining company, is now Nevada looking after matters of business for the company and will send some news for stockholders this week which will be found in next week's COLORADO STATESMAN. Geo. F. Nave a dealer in real estate and money broker of Muskegee, 1. T., is in the city for an indefinite stay and showed his good business judgement by purchasing a block of the Howard Mining Stock at their office, room 1, McIntyre building. Rev. Tillman attended the Young Peoples Literary Congress at Topeka last week, where he read a paper on the dominant force of the 20th century, which no doubt was well received as he is a forceful, logical and eloquent speaker and writer. Rev. J. W. Sanders of Denver, was a pleasant caller at the office of the Freeman and Howard Mining company Monday, and Tuesday, went to Salida to inspect the property of the Howard company with intentions of purchasing a large block of stock.

Colorado COLORADO NEWS ITEMS Denver thinks it has found another million-dollar baby. Grand Junction comes to the fore with charges against a cattle rustler. Greeley comes to the fore with the second native tarantula of the season. Senator Guggenheim sent a check of $200 to the Greeley library fund as a starter. A team ran away with Dr. Sol G. Kahn at Leadville, injuring him severely. It's a hard matter for one who lives in Colorado to find a place away from home where he can enjoy his vacation. Now that "the glorious Fourth" has been rounded up and hog-tied for another year, all Colorado is back to business. Three separate companies are seeking franchises for interurban electric lines from Denver to Greeley and the north. Gold has been discovered in a Delta orchard, but the fruit yield is so rich the owner doesn't need the new discovery. A Fort Collins woman sues for divorce because she says her husband forces her to work on Saturday, her Sabbath. Ben B. Lindsay has finally been set aside as county judge in Denver, and will now have his own little juvenile pet court all by himself. The married men of Greeley went out on the diamond and proved to the bachelor team that they still know how to handle the bat. Colorado's crop of tourists this year shows a marked increase over former seasons, despite the late rains and slow trains from the East. A new town, which has not yet been named, is being started six miles east of Colorado Springs. It will be supported by sugar beet culture. Some fear is expressed at Fort Collins that a conspiracy has been entered into by thugs to murder the entire police force there. The supposition does not seem to be well founded. Information has come to light which says the late J. G. Allen, marshal, who was murdered at Fort Collins, has a wife and children at Parsons, Kansas. He had posed as a single man. Margaret Yont, the four-year-old child of Bert Yont, living near Grand Junction, was nearly burned to death one day recently while playing with a gasoline lamp, which exploded. Timothy Babb, aged sixty-one, commander of J. W. Anderson Post, G. A. R., at Cripple Creek, has answered to the final roll call. This is the third comrade of this post to die in one year. A "prominent social family," living near Platteville, gathered up their ready cash and wrapping the cloaks of night about them, departed for fields more green. A large circle of creditors mourn their departure. It was so sudden. A vast tract of grazing land at the edge of the forest reserve, twenty-five miles northwest of Gunnison, has become so overgrown with larkspur that the cattle which have been feeding upon it are dying by scores, and the stockmen are considering plans for the removal of their herds until the plant ceases flowering. A committee of forty, appointed by the Greeley Commercial Club to solicit funds for the building of the Empson canning factory, is meeting with much success, and after one day's work reports $10,000 subscribed. The acreage committee is also busy soliciting 1,300 acres to be planted for the factory, for which 500 have been pledged. Forty thousand acres in the Arkansas valley east of Pueblo and this side of the Kansas line, are covered with flourishing crops of sugar beets. These figures are given out by competent Pueblo authorities and show an increase of about forty per cent, over last year. Indications are that the average will be at least twenty tons an acre and that there will be enough beets to keep all the sugar factories in the valley busy until next April. Footsore and weary after miles of globe-trotting across the deserts of Utah, an aged Greek whose name is unknown, fell exhausted in front of the home of George Anderson in Grand Junction. Policeman Paterson removed him to jail. A physician found that the Greek was deranged as the result of his experience. He speaks only broken English, but from his disconnected story it was believed that he had walked several hundred miles with scarcely any food. George Carver, an inmate of the county jail at Greeley, arrested recently on a charge of violating the liquor law in Eaton, who was recently run over by a car at La Junta, which cut off both his legs just below the knee, has been placed in the county hospital, because he suffers excruciating pains, he says, in his toes. His limbs, he says, do not bother him, but only those parts of his legs and feet removed in the accident. Carver is about thirty-five years old, highly educated, and says he is of a prominent Cincinnati, Ohio, family; that his brothers are bankers and his sisters society leaders there. He says Carver is not his real name, but he refuses to reveal any other out of regard for his family. A dispatch from Boulder says: Undertaker Tippett returned from Nevada yesterday with the remnants of the late George E. McNaught, who died there several weeks ago. The body when exhumed had not decayed, but had dried in the hot, sandy soil where it had been interred. On the way home the train was delayed by an accident west of the Needles, in the California desert. While there the thermometer went up to 110, and the porter tried to keep the car cool by sprinkling water on the carpet. The metal work of the seats was so hot that it was impossible to put hands upon it, and watches worn on shirt waists burned the flesh through women's clothes. An elderly woman from Cincinnati, on her way home from Los Angeles, was temporarily deranged until night brought cookess. Solleries Under the Sea. At Cape Breton there are immense collieries being worked under the ocean. These submarine mines cover a thousand acres, and are being increased steadily. The mines are entered at the shore, and the operators follow the vein beneath the water for more than a mile. It might be expected that the weight of the water would force its way into the mine. The bed of the ocean is as tight as a cement clistern. A sort of freelay lines the submarine roof of the mine, and the sediment above is held in place and packed down by the water pressure until there is not a crevice nor a drop of water from overhead. LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED TRUST. Responsibilities of Officers and Directors. Evidently President Kingsley of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibility and duty of directors of corporations. Speaking to the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his election to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that "life insurance is more than a private business, that life insurance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the responsibilities that attach to a going business which at the same time must be administered as a trust." He also realizes that similar responsibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "I understand," he says, "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this burden for you, who are to discharge this trust in your behalf, who are to administer for the benefit of the people involved the multitudinous and exacting details to which it is impossible for you to give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life—covering nearly twenty years—my service in about every branch of the company's working organization, gives me, as I believe, a profound appreciation, not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoulders, but of the standards of efficiency, the standards of faith, the standards of integrity, which must be maintained at all times by the man who serves you and the policyholders in this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. "My thanks, therefore," he continues, "for an honor which outranks any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed in words; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." One Point of View. It was the desire of a teacher in a negro school to impress upon the minds of the youths the benefits derived at Tuskegee and other seats of learning for the ambitious negro. One day, in closing a brilliant discourse on this subject, in which Booker T. Washington was set forth as a criterion, she said to one little boy who had evidently heard not a word of her talk: "Now 'Rastus, give the name of the greatest negro?" The answer was surprisingly forthcoming—"Joe Gans!" The Psychological Moment. The fact that Priam was closeest with the adjuster did not prevent Cassandra from dropping in to say that she had told him just how it would be. "She was all I saved," murmured the burnt-out monarch, jerking his thumb at the retiring prophetess. "Say no more," rejoined the other. "We'll call the loss total, and if I could make it any more than that, old man, I'd do it, under the circumstances." This incident shows the value of a word spoken at the right time.—Puck Were He a Bird. With an ugly sneer he tossed aside the bread which she had made with her own hands. "If I were only an ostrich—" he began. But the young woman cut him short. "Yes, if you only were," she snapped, "then I might get at least a few decent feathers for that old hat I've worn since my wedding day." COULDN'T KEEP IT. Kept It Hid from the Children. "We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in effect, is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre-digested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. "There's a Reason." Made at the pure food factories of the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little health classic, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs NO OCCASION FOR WAR TALK. Japanese Admirals Declare It Is All Newspaper Copy. Now York.—Two distinguished Japanese took occasion to declare in no uncertain trims that there were no unfriendly issues between the United States and Japan, and to decry the untrue importance attributed by some to trivial incidents. The champions of peace and friendship between the two countries were Admiral Baron Yamamoto, a guest of the city, and Viscount Aoki, Japanese ambassador, who came from Washington to attend the luncheon given by the Japanese society of America in honor of Admiral Yamamoto. In the course of a formal statement In the course of a formal statement Ambassador Aoki said: "There exists between the two governments no difference or ill feeling of whatever sort. There is not the slightest cause for anxiety in the American-Japanese relations, and if there is any anxiety, it is not because of the actual existence of any difficulty between the two countries, but because of the semagogic influence of some unwarranted press talk that often tends to drive even the calmest temper of the public into a whirl of tempestuous rage." At the luncheon at the Hotel Astor, Admiral Yamamoto spoke in a similar strain, saying: "It is now over fifty years since America first opeded intercourse with Japan and introduced us to the nations of the West. we all know what we owe to the United States for the development of our industries and commerce, and also for the education of a number of our countrymen. We especially appreciate the sympathy shown us by the Americans during the late war. "We have always been next door neighbors with only an ocean between us, but with the acquisition of the Philippines by America, which is quite close to our Formosa, our territories became still nearer, thus facilitating even more intimate intercourse. "Our interests, commercial and otherwise, are so intimately interwoven, and the cordial relations between us for fifty years standing are of so firm a nature, that I can confidently affirm that they will never be destroyed by mere trifling incidents. "It is true that lately some dark clouds did appear in one quarter of the sky, but it is nothing but a local squail and does not in any way represent the general state of the weather. And even this slight cloud will soon be dispersed. "We are all aware of the high sense of justice and humanity possessed by the Americans, the principles which form the very foundations of the Republic." Rear Admiral Evens, commander of the Atlantic fleet, said that when the newspapers of this country stopped making war between Japan and the United States the people would come to their senses and a better feeling would exist all around. Cost of Feeding Paroled Convicts. Paroled and discharged convicts from the Colorado Penitentiary are cared for and secured positions at the rate of $23 each, according to the report of W. E. Collett in his second quarterly report of the Colorado Prison Association. This is only one-third the cost which the Kansas Society for the Friendless, an organization twice as old as the Colorado association, has to expend to care for released convicts. It is recommended in the report that R. A. Hoffman, district secretary, should be made field secretary, as he does work all over Colorado. The appointment of a special committee at the meeting of the association, to confer with the governor in regard to the appointment of the board which is to enforce the new prison law, should be made immediately, as the law goes into effect very shortly. Since the organization of the society, three and a half years ago, 447 prisoners have been cared for at a cost of $10,302.69. The Kansas society, in its first year after branching out to Colorado, averaged $114 a prisoner in 1904 and $105 a prisoner in 1906. Forty-seven cases were aided this quarter and 106 for the half year, or as many as were assisted during 1905, and one more than were cared for by the Kansas society last year. Collections for the half year were $2,527.35. Good Crops on the Plains. Akron, Colo.—Plowing at the Akron sub-experiment station, under the control of the bureau of plant industry, is completed—forty-seven acres. This will be divided into plats of one-tenth of an acre each. J. E. Payne, who had control of the Cheyenne Wells experiment station, will commence the buildings and other necessary improvements by August. Prof. Paddock of the Agricultural College at Fort Collins has made preliminary arrangements for future tree experiments and Prof. Carpenter has ordered forty acres plowed as soon as possible. An effort will be made to show the value of shelter belts for crop production, as well as the kinds of trees best adapted to the plains region. Harvest has commenced on the plains and the outlook is that the crops will be good. The recent rains are causing the wheat to fill rapidly, and the prospects for a corn crop were never better. Barley is a fair crop and is now being harvested. Progress of the West. Greeley, Colo.—While Greeley is one of the most conservative cities in Colorado, it is somewhat given to fads. The automobile has taken the place of the bicycle in popular favor and few property holders are without motor cars. It is estimated that there are 200 automobiles in Greeley and vicinity and that this number will be doubled by the time the crops are harvested. Some of them are owned by pioneers of the Poudre valley. J. Max Clark, one of the original Union colonists; Rev. Samuel Moore, a retired Methodist minister; Robert Steele and Dick Patterson, both old timers, are driving modern machines over roads where they hunted buffalo or fought Indians thirty-five years ago. Local society women have taken to motoring and have put up a prize for the one who makes the best record for the summer. An Interesting Case from Salem, the Capital of Oregon. F. A. Sutton, R. F. D. No. 4, Salem, Oregon, says: "Acute attacks of kid- ney disease and rheumatism laid me up off and on for ten years. Awful pains started from the kidneys and coursed down through my limbs. I sought the best medical treatment but in vain, a when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills ney disease and rheumatism laid me up off and on for ten years. Awful pains started from the kidneys and coursed down through my limbs. I sought the best medical treatment but in vain, as when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. I was walking with two canes and suffering continual pains, headaches and sleepless nights. I improved quickly and after taking three boxes felt better than I had for 15 years. The effects have been lasting." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. WHY SHE WAS THANKFUL. Little One Had Reason to Approve Father's Choice. Of the sisters of a well-known New York family one is married. She has one little girl greatly petted by all the auits and subject to much advice from all of them. Of this last the little lady sometimes wearies, which weariness on a certain occasion made itself shown in the following reply from her small ladyship: Said one aunt: "If you were my child I should have you do thus and thus." Said another aunt: "Were you my child I would do so and so." The remaining aunt made a similar remark. The little lady thought it high time to express her own feelings. "But I have," she said, "always been so thankful that papa married the sister he did!" ALMOST A SOLID SORE. Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune Spent on Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticura. "I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treat- ments did her any good. Old Dr. — suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he com- menced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905." Proving the Point. She—A woman ought to get credit for being just as logical and ready to give a reason as a man. He—Why? She—Oh, because!

NEW TRIAL BEING PLANNED Ne Estrangement Between Elder Mrs. Thaw and the Girl Wife of Her Son. New York.—The devotion of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to her husband, which found her a visitor every day before ‘his trial for the murder of Stanford ‘White, appears not to have been (he stage devotion that it was at the time in cynical quarters regarded as being. |. The flame of this devotion aid not die nor has it even dwindled since the ‘public eye has been turned away from the young millioaire prisoner in the ‘Tombs, and the girlish wife for love ot whom he was moved to strike down ‘Stanford White, the great architect. After the failure of the jury at the ‘first trial to reach a verdict Thaw set- tled bacic into his old regular life at the ‘Tombs. And the feature of it that saw his young wife pass through the big iron gates of the prison every day on which visitors were allowed did not change. Winter passed into spring and spring into summer, but young Mrs. Thaw has faithfully remained in the city. Her whole demeanor has been contradic- tory of those assertions which pictured her as a silly, vain lover of notoriety. Prophets had ‘declared that she would Sooner or later commit some sensa- tional act to bring herself back into the public light. ,. In justice to her it must be said she has done everything possible to allow ‘the public to forget her, her tragic story and ite terrible sequel that hap- pened something more than a year ago. ‘She even shrank from the curious glances that followed her now and then In the corridor of the Hotel Lorraine. Ske very quietly went from there to “the little house in Park avenue and ‘there she has lived alone with two ser- vants, receiving but one or two visi- ‘tors, and these always in connection with her husband’s interest in the triol that is set for October. Avoids Notoriety. She has allowed to pass uncontra- dicted various rumors which were printed from time to time declaring that she and Harry Thaw’s mother had become hopelessly estranged. As a matter of fact, I know that no such estrangement ever happened. It would be queer if old Mrs. Thaw could_ever be ungrateful to the girl who fought so splendidly in her son’s behalf. Harry ‘Thaw’s mother has been guilty of no euch ingratitude. She has several times visited New York since the triat for the purpose of consulting her son cud her son's chief counsel, Dan O'Reilly. She has always stayed while in town as the guest of young Mrs. ‘Thaw in the Park avenue house. Mean- time the young wife has never failed to pay her daily visit to her husband. This she has done as unostentatious!y as possible. ‘The elder Mrs. Thaw is in the city now. All tales of estrange: ment are disproved by the manner in which the two come and go from the prison with the white-haired woman's band on the slender arm of the girl. ‘Thaw himself has been most deeply affected by his wife's steady devotion, as may be imagined. He tells Lawyer O'Rellly that these visits alone make life tolerable. Pretty Summer Girl. Mrs. Thaw as she left the Tombs ne day recently was a fresh summer picture of a beantiful girl. Sho was dressed in a simple white duck gowa, with a soft white hat with a drooping brim. Her arms were laden with books. She had just brought her husband a new supply. She looked far studier than during the days of the trial. The extreme pallor had gone out of her checks. Her large eyes were very bright and clear, and her quick smile showed that a new buoyancy of spirits was with her. “lam feeling very well now,” sho faid, “‘and I hope the second trial will come soon, I have never doubted that ‘i the end my husband would go free. I feel as sure of It as ever. But it is hard on him to be locked in that prison so long. He bears it wonderfully.” She got into an automobile alone, Mrs. Thaw not having accompanied her yesterday, and was taken directly ack to the Park avenue house. Next week Daniel O'Reilly will announce the man chosen to take the place of Dei- mas of the West, who will not figuce iu the next trial. It is believed the choice will fall upon Martin W. Littleton. The de- Tense, it is understood, will not bear so hard with the plea of the unwritten huw as it will make for a thorough and strong plea of straight insanity. ‘ New York.—President Roosevelt har. vested the hay crop on the Sagamore Hill farm, Edward Maloney of East Norwich, Long Island, who worked at the task, told the story in the village store in his home town, He said: “About 2 o'clock the President came out. to the field. He was dressed in a white suit and a white negligee shirt, and with a hearty greeting all around, began to pitch with the others, with one loading. “Before the first load was done you would not have given 30 cents for that white shirt. And talk about the sweat drops, like peas! The President shed them as big as black walnuts, dropping from his face, and he didn't stop to wipe them off, either, but kept righy on pitching up forktuls so big that he had to get under them and shove them up to me. - “Talk about hay pitchers—he's a wonder. After we got two wagons ae I drove to the barn with Teddy jn the lead, with fork on shoulder, and when we reached the new hay ‘barn the President climbed on my load, and fo up in the mow, where he took the hay from the fork’ and mowed it away with more big drops falling from him fn streams.” HOW TO CURE SNAKE BITE,” No Need of Death If Simple Remody Is Applied. Denvor.—A telegraphic item —pub- lished lately to the effect that a Penp: sylvania man had died from the bite of a rattlesnake bronght a strong pro- test from Dr. J. H. Phelps, formerly a well-known physician in the East and row rétired, living at 1817 Clarkson street. His protest was not concerninz the accuracy of the story, but agains: what He called the “carelessness of let. ting human being dic of anything sc easily cured as a snake bite.” Dr. Phelps’ cure is most simple, and he declares It to be absolutely effect. ive. It is nothing more than tincture 0f fodine injected into the veins near the wound. “This is an absolute cure,” sald Dr. Phelps yesterday. “I never have known it to fail. I have used it constantly and have never lost a case, even of the worst sort. I learned of the virtue of it years ago when I was in college, an. why it has not been used more exteu- sively and become a matter of gen- tral knowledge is beyond me. “I have tried fodine on man and on animals, and {t has never failed me. Of course, I realize that on many campin;; trips a hypodermic syringe is not par? of the kit, though it should be if there is any danger of boing bitttn by rev- tiles of any sort. But even without ‘hypo’ the use of lodine is simple. 1f the skin is abraded a short distance apove the bite, scratched, say, with a kntfe or any sharp instrument, so tha: the blood comes, and fodine is poured en freely, so it will get into the cire- lation, no trouble will ever be experl- enced from the @ite. “My brother has several fine blooded Forses. A rattlesnake once bit the finest of them on the nose, and my treher promptly started to fill the entmal up on whisky, thinking that might cure it. I was visiting him, and asked him to let me try my remedy. He scoffed at it, but consented. I stuck the small blade of a knife in the flesi above the wound, injected fodins, using a goose quill as a syringe, and the horse never felt the slightest ill ot. fects, although the bite was a severe one.’ This has been the case in maay Lites I have treated. “Another case I had a few years ago ‘as that of a child that had been bit- ton by a water moccason, the bite of “which is considered almost sure to be fatal. But the fodine injected into the veins promptly put a stop to the spread ef the poison, and the baby’s life was Saved after the parents had given up hope. | _“The-stime rule applies to the bites oi tarantalus, scorpions and their kind. | liodine is a sovereign remedy for them), and every man who spends a day in the country where repitles abound should carry a bottle of it with him. it may make him a life-saver.” New Railroad Nearing Completion. Denver.—“In three months we wil. have in operation 700 miles of tho finest railroad system ever constructed in this county,” said Ed Dickinson, iormerly general manager of the Union Pacific, but now with the Kansas City, ‘Mexico & Orient. Dickinson rode Into Denver in one of the finest private cars that has ever Leen handled by the local depot crew. He is one of the best known railroad inen in the West and is especially pop: ular with the employes of the Union Pacific, who took advantage of the op: portunity to again meet their former employer. He has gone to Wagon Wheel Gap, where he will spend a week in fishing. “Work on the new road is progress ing very rapidly,” sald Dickinson. “Wo expect to be operating 300 miles into Mexico by December Ist and at that time we will have a total of 1,000 miles dn operation. We have four sections v? ‘road in operation at present in the United States between Emporia, Kan ‘ns, and San Angelo, Texas. These are being connected and will all be in ona Foad by September 1st, when the en: tre 700 miles will be operated as one ‘system, “We have made a sufficient showing with the road to succeed in floating $13,000,000 worth of bonds. The four ‘sections now in operation are earning a small margin over operating ex- penses, taxes and interest, which wo consider a remarkable showing in view cf the fact that the sections are not connected and are not much more thar: four separate small roads. The Unioa Construction Company has taken al! of the $13,000,000 bond issue and has practically sold them all.” Dickinson was asked in regard to the connections of the Stillwell road, 1s the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient is known, with Colorado. He said that every energy was now being directed toward completing the main line from Kansas City to the Pacific coast of Mexico and that when this was finished end in operation {t would undoubtedly Le the policy of the company to build intersecting roads in promising sec- Uons. A right of way has been secured from the main Ine to Pueblo under the Tame of a separate corporation and itis the intention of the company some Jay to build into Colorado. Entombed Alive With Corpse. Florence, Italy.—The search for the Marchioness Magdalen Castellare, a beautiful and accomplished member of the Itallan nobility, was ended beside @ grave. The marchioness had been entombed alive with a corpse. Her body was found in a coffin with Sig. Rossi, a banker, who died a few days before her disappearance. Her face was convulsed ‘vith terror and her Umbs were contorted with the fright- ful efforts she evidently made for lib- erty. The expression and attitude bear testimony to the agony of her struggles with death. The exact nature of the accident may never be known. It is conjec- tured that she visited the cemetery to pray at the grave of her dead sweet- heert, Count Franchi, and wandered by mistake into the vault in which Ross!’s coffin lay. Then, it ts supposed, she swooned when she saw the corpse in the open coffn, and fell into the casket and upon the banker’s body. The at- tendants presumably clamped the lid on the casket in the darkness soon af- terward without seeing that two forms lay inside. WALL OF WATER RUSHES DOWN CLEAR CREEK’ CANON. PASSENGER TRAIN HELD UP Worst Flood for Many Years, but No Lives Are Lost as On Former PR ae Golden, Colo—Not since 1896 hat Golden had such a big flood as came down Clear creek shortly after 6 e'elock the evening of July 9th. Con- siderable damage was done in the city and to the ranches in the Clear cre2k bottom. ‘The flood originated from a cloud- burst in the mountains near Black Hawk and swept everything in its path until It reached Roscoe, at the head ot the old placer works on Clear creek, where.it was augmented by another flood coming down the gulch at that point. When the water came out of the canon just west of Golden it was like & solid wall, between ten and fifteen feet high, carrying logs, whole trees, railroad ties and other debris in the first rush. In the city the water was. so. deep that {t overflowed the creek banks and tiade a new course for itself down Bleventh street, doing considerable damage. Although no buildings were washed away, all the houses on the lower side of the street were flooded with three or four feet of water and most of the furniture of the lower stories was practically ruined, The water also got into the store buildings on Ford street, between Hleyenth and Twelfth. The people :n that part of town were compelled to leave their homes and seek higher ground. ‘The south approach to the iron bridge on Washington avenue was washed away, letting that end of the bridge drop into the ereek. Shortly before it fell it was crowded with peo- Tle, but the cracking of the timbers end braces gaye them warning, so that all got oft. The Ford street bridge was com- pletely submerged at one time, but {3 is stil! standing, although greatly weakenc. and covered wit debris. The Coorado & Southern railway (racks in the canon are badly washed out and it will probably be several days before trains can be run to mountain towns. The passenger train called tha Mount McClellan special, which is duc here at 6:08 p. m,, is stalled at Forks Greek station, as ‘also is the George- town freight. ‘The passenger train for Black Hawk Was stalled at Cottonwood and Con- uctor Pete Reed walked to Black Hawk, five miles, to report and get provisions to take back for his passen- Gers, who were camping in the cars. Railroad men say they now believe there will be more damage from the tracks being covered than from wash- outs. It is reported that in one place on the Rigel: Hawk line the traci is cov. eed ten to fifteen feet deep with uirt and rock for a distance of nearly £00 feet. The first damage to the track is bout a mile west of Golden, near the mouth of the canon, and it’is impos. sible to state to what extent the rail- road company has suffered, but there tnust be several miles of track, more or less, washed out further up the canon In the narrower places where the road- bed is low. ‘The gardens along the creek below Golden have suffered to a considerable oxtent, ‘The last big flood in Golden was in the evening of July 24, 1906. At that time seyeral people were drowned and the railway tracks were washed out 82 badly that the mountain towns above here were without train service for ‘wore than a month. Train Crashes Down a Grade. ‘Trinidad, Colo—Crashing down a steep grade, a runaway Santa Fe ¢oal train left the track when it sufuck a sharp curve near Nebron, New Mexico, The engine and cars were, demolished and Engineer Mike Weidenbeck killed and the fire- man and a brakeman, who was riding nu the engine, were fatally hurt. Coming down the hill the heavily loaded train got beyond control and was going at a terrific rete when the engine left the rails, The engine and cars are piled in a heap across tho main Mine and all transcontinental traf- uc is thed up by the wreckage. An engine and caboose were at once dispatehed to the scene of the disaster from Raton and the wounded were louded into the car and taken to tho bospitai at La Junta. At El Moro, four tiles east of the city, the engine of the special left the rails and nearly two hours was lost before the run was re- sumed, Engineer Weldenbeck was killed ot right, and the fireman and brakeman, whos@ Mames can not be learned, will die. A flying bolt struck the fireman, fracturing his skull. The brakeman was sealded by escaping steam. Pas: senger trains Nos. 2 and 6 have been Leld up for many hours and are not yet ont. Local officials are unable to give tull details of the accident tonight. Bio {rriaation Project.

Colorado Is Entering Upon Even Brighter Days. Denver.—Colorado is on the crest of a wave of prosperity which has not been equaled in years, according to the statements of the officials of the three principal Colorado roads. The best index to the conditions of a state or country is considered the earnings of the Denver & Rio Grande, the Colorado Midland and the Colorado & Southern, which were made public this morning shows an increase of about twenty per cent. over what they were a year ago. The Denver & Rio Grande for May showed a net increase of $54,535 over the earnings for the same month a year ago and the increase for the eleven months is equal in proportion, being $372,473 more for the eleven months ending June 1st than for the same period of time last year. The Colorado Midland showed a net increase for May of $6,673 over May a year ago. The increase for the eleven months was $50,243. The total receipts of the Midland for May were $198,939 and the expenses and taxes were $153,665. May a year ago the gross receipts were $180,431 and the expenses and taxes were $141,830. The Denver & Rio Grande total receipts for May were $1,848,308 and the expenses $1,140,452 and for the same month last year the gross receipts were $1,702,482 and expenses $1,049,161. The Colorado & Southern statement has been made up and forwarded to New York but not yet made public. It was stated, however, that when issued it would show that the business of the road for May had increased twenty per cent. over what it was a year ago. "There is nothing abnormal what ever about the increases," said one of flicial. "It simply shows that the state is enjoying the greatest prosperity it has had in years. There is no special reason for it except that the people are making and spending more money and there is an abundant market for everything produced within the state. There have been no strikes or labor disturbances of any extent and the conditions have been favorable for a good increase. We are also better equipped for handling the increase in business than we were a few years ago, and this has enabled all producers to market their output. I look for the prosperity to continue." It was further stated that the entire country showed almost the same condition of affairs. Out of all of the leading roads of the country there were only three that showed a loss during May over the business done during the same time last year, and these were the results of local conditions. Prominent Man Missing. Farmington, N. M.—The community is very much excited over a report current here that Fred E. Hyde, Jr., has been either murdered or lost. Hyde invested over $200,000 in this county a few years ago. In January of this year he was reported to have left Pueblo Bonita, where he has been running an Indian trading store for several years, and it was reported that he had gone East, but it now transpires that he has not turned up in the East, nor has it been discovered that he took the train anywhere. He was an eccentric man, and although a recognized millionaire, spent most of his time among the Navajos. It is reported here that some of the Navajos claim he was murdered and that some Indians know where he is buried. Officeers are working on the case, but as Pueblo Bonita is sixty miles from the railroad out in the desert, there are many stories told of the peculiar dealing of the Hyde exploring expedition, which a few years ago did a tremendous business in Navajo blankets and Indian curios here from 1901 to 1903. The missing Hyde was at the head of this enterprise and a great many thousand dollars was lost. Fred B. Hyde, Jr., the missing man, and Babbitt Hyde of New York City are the heirs of the great Babbitt estate that was built out of the soap manufacturing business. Snow Melting on Planet Mars Flagstaff, Ariz.—The director of the Lowell observatory has this to say of the results of the observations of the planet Mars: "The opposition has been productive of increased knowledge of the planet's constitution by the revelation of details hitherto unseen. This, while extending our acquaintance with the planet, has been completely corroborative of what had previously been learned there. "The southern polar cap is now in process of melting, and the northern one of making. Although about the same size at the present moment, the aspect of the two is different. In this connection is significant the detection of a difference in their color, while the south pole cap is white, with a faint yellowish tinge, the north pole cap is distinctly bluish. "This difference in hue is that which freshly fallen snow on new-made ice would present as compared with that which has long been subjected to the weather and dust. The observation is therefore confirmatory of what has again and again been stated of the substance composing them. "The canals proper to this season of the Martian year have been seen in due course and some new faint ones discovered. "As to the photographs of the planet Mr. Lampland has already secured prints exceeding in definiteness of detail those secured at the last opposition. They have been enlarged with a view to publication." Fireman Killed In Wreck. Albuquerque, N. M.—Simon Crabtree, a fireman on a small coal branch road out of Raton, was killed and a miner named Welsenberg is believed to be lying dead under the debris as the result of a bad wreck on a small branch line of the Santa Fe running from Raton to a coal camp. The engine of a combination passenger and freight train jumped the track in a deep mountain out. J. D. CRACO. N. M. CAMPIGLIA. Phone Main 4885. C. & C.

Old Camden, in his "Remains," tells a good story of a trick played by a knight upon a would-be fashionable shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop purged John Drakes, the shoemaker of Norwich in the time of King Henry VIII., of the proud humor which our people have to be of the gentlemen's cut. This knight bought as much fine French tawny cloth as should make him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's to be made. John Drakes, a shoemaker, coming to this tailor's and seeing the knight's gown cloth lying there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the same price and pattern and make it of the same fashion as the knight's. Not long after the knight, coming in to the tailor to be measured for his gown, and perceiving the like cloth lying there, asked whose it was. "John Drakes," the shoemaker, who will have it made of the self-same fashion that yours is made of." "Then make mine as full of cuts as the shears will make it!" John Drakes had no time to go for his gown till Christmas day, when he meant to wear it. Perceiving the same to be full of cuts, he began to swear at the tailor. "I have done naught but what you bid me," quoth the tailor, "for as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is, even so have I made yours." "By my latchet!" quoth John Drakes, "I will never wear gentlemen's fashions again!"—London T. P.'s Weekly. THERE IS A REASON. The Medical Times Explains Why Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines. The Medical Times for April in a moment of frankness explains the whole opposition of physicians to "patient" medicines which are taken without a prescription, in the following words: "We will hardly repeat here the specific statement to the effect that in one year $62,000,000 has been expended on patent medicines in the United States. Enough to give every practitioner in the country a yearly income of $2,000. In the face of such facts as these, all talk of love of humanity, altruism, self-abnegation and the like becomes cheap and nauseating. It appears to us that such buncombe should give place to homely common sense." Reliable authority states that the gross amount of the "patent" medicine business is about $40,000,000 instead of $62,000,000 but taking the Medical Times' figures as correct they represent an outlay of considerably less than $1 per capita for home medication. The cost of doctors' fees exclusive of medicines except such as are dispensed for the same period, probably was approximately $230,000,000. This is reached by allowing an average income of $2,000 to each of the 115,000 physicians in the United States. Even allowing that a gross business of $62,000,000 is to be divided between 115,000 physicians the income of each would not be increased more than $540. THE BEST HE COULD GET. Amateur Gardener Could Not Understand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout. The woes of the amateur gardener are very amusing to others, but decidedly real to the man who has spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his hands and lost his temper in his efforts to make things grow. A young man, recently married, early in the spring secured a suburban place, mainly with the idea of "fresh, home-grown vegetables." Every evening he would hurry through his supper and rush out to his garden, where he displayed more energy than skill. But, alas! When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara. "It certainly has got me beat," he confided to a friend at his office one day. "I can't understand why not blessed thing has come up. I planted peas and corn and tomatoes." "Perhaps the seed were reflective," the friend suggested. "I hardly think it was that," the gardener replied, "for I got the very best—paid 15 cents a can for them." The Terrible Mafia. Neither the Naples Camorra, the Paris Apaches, nor the Black Hand of America is the most powerful and terrible secret society in the whole world, in spite of the harrowing details of their ghastly work. The palm must go to the Mafia, which flourishes in Italy, and has done so for more than 300 years. This society, which works so swiftly and silently, yet so surely, was founded in Sicily for protection against the injustice of foreign rulers.—London "P. T. O." Careful Public Guardian.

DENIES ORCHARD TESTIMONY Boise, Idaho.—William D. Haywood was called to the stand and his examination by Mr. Darrow was begun. The accused man was perfectly at ease as he walked to the chair and took oath as a witness in his own behalf. His voice was quite low at first, but when his attention was called to it he elevated it so as to carry to Judge Wood. Haywood was first questioned as to his family history. He said his father and stepfather were both miners, and he first began work as a miner under the latter. Haywood was born in Salt Lake City in 1869. His father was born in Ohio, and his mother in South Africa—the daughter of an English army officer. Haywood said he first went to work at the mines when he was nine years old. He was married at Pocatello, Idaho, and has two children—daughters. The witness, who has but one eye, said he lost the other when a boy of seven by sticking a knife in t. The prisoner spent the greater part of his mining career at Silver City, Idaho. He joined the Western Federation of Mners in 1896. Haywood declared he never knew Governor Steunenberg, and had no interest in the Coeur d'Alene troubles other than as a member of the federation. Resolutions and discussions condemning Governor Steunenberg's course in the Coeur d'Alenes, Haywood declared, were not confined to the Western Federation of Miners, but applied generally to labor organizations throughout the country. The witness was asked if he ever said to any one as has been testified, that Governor Steunenberg should be exterminated. "No, sir," he replied. "I think what I said was that he should be relegated and I took a hand in relegating him." Haywood became a member of the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners in 1900, holding that position until June, 1901, when he was elected secretary-treasurer, an office which he still normally fills. His salary is $150 a month. The federation, according to Haywood, has always taken an active interest in politics, one of its objects being to elect its friends and defeat its enemies. Met Orchard First in 1904. Haywood said he first met Orchard in 1904, at the same time Moyer met the man. Orchard came as a delegate from one of the Cripple Creek miners' unions to a convention of the State Federation of Labor. The witness denied as flatly as Moyer did yesterday that Orchard was at federation headquarters in December, 1903, and that he had congratulated Orchard on blowing up the Vindicator mine. "He never spoke to me at any time about the Vindicator," declared Haywood, "and never received any money from me." Haywood corroborated what Moyer testified to yesterday as to the circumstances of Orchard's accompanying the president of the federation to Ouray, Colorado. "When Moyer asked Orchard if he had any firearms," said Haywood, "Orchard unbuttoned his vest, reached way down in his belt and pulled a 45-caliber sixshooter. It must have been a foot and a half long. I asked him what he was going to do with that thing. He said he would take it to Ouray. I said, 'Do you think those fellows down there are going to wait till you undress yourself to get that gun?' Haywood's recital of the incident, told in even good humor, called out a ripple of laughter in the court room. Haywood told of Mayer's return from Ouray to Denver in 1904 in custody of a detachment of militia. Haywood was himself a prisoner in the custody of an officer. He, at his own request, was allowed to meet Moyer at the depot. The witness told how he had just greeted Moyer at the depot when General Bulkeley Wells interfered, and Haywood struck Wells. "The soldiers set upon me and I got much the worst of it." Haywood was then taken to the Oxford hotel, he said, and there one of the soldiers pulled a sixshooter on him. Haywood struck the soldier and then another row occurred, in which Haywood was again roughly handled. Never Heard of Crimes. Haywood said that he heard nothing of the Independence depot explosion on the murder of Lyte Gregory until after they happened. Orchard, he said, had never approached him in connection with either of these matters, nor had he ever mentioned them to him in any way. The federation, Haywood declared, had never had any difficulty with Gregory. As to Johnny Neville, the witness said he had never met or spoken to the man. He did see him at headquarters one day, but whatever conversation the man had there was with Moyer. "Did you ever give Orchard at any time or place any money for the Independence explosion?" asked Darrow. "I did not." Haywood said he saw Orchard in Pettibone's store in May, 1905. He remembered the incident because of Orchard having solicited him to take out some life insurance. He had no further conversation than to decline to have a policy written. He next saw Orchard in the middle of July. "Did you and Moyer ever have a conversation with Orchard in Pettibone's backyard or anywhere else as to the killing of Governor Steunenberg?" "No, sir, never." The witness said he lived in the neighborhood of Pettibone's store and had often been in his backyard, but never to talk. The yard was only twenty-five feet across and the Solomon family next door had ten children playing about most of the time. Let Me Send You a Package of Defiance Starch Professional Entertainer Was Almost Too Successful. "The other night, coming home in the car," said the professional entertainer, "I began to wonder if I could bring tears to my own eyes as I do to the eyes of the other people. I tried. I thought of all the wrongs I had committed, and felt sorry for people I had wronged. I thought of all the mistakes I had made that other people had profited by and pretty soon the tears began to gather in my eyes and roll down my cheeks. "I forgot there were other people in the car who might notice me. Soon a woman got up from across the car and came to me. "I see, sir," said she, 'that you are in some trouble. Can I do anything to help you?" "Lord bless you, no, madam," I told her, hastily wiping away my tears, "I am a professional entertainer and was practicing on myself. That's all." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work Flow of Artesian Well. To calculate the rate of flow of an artesian well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of say 500 feet and then electrically explode a cap to burst the bottle. The time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate gauge as to the velocity of flow. It is claimed that this method gives results as accurate as a weir. The diameter of the pipe being known, the rate of flow readily follows. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. It isn't difficult to size the average man up, but women are built so queerly it is impossible to get their actual measure. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. If a man is incompetent he usually charges it to bad luck. "Kangaroo" is a queer word. It means "I don't understand" in the tongue of the Australian aborigines.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- OUR FASHION LETTER CHARMING COUPLES It is impossible to write a letter on the subject of fashions without speaking of the popularity of gray materials, for they are with us, on every side. Some of the most effective summer gowns, of a simple order, which I have yet seen this year were made of cool gray linen, with fine hand-embroideries, on the skirt and bolero, carried out, in silk-finished thread. These frocks, when worn with gray linen shoes and gray suede gloves, are quite enchanting in their Quaker-like simplicity, and they invite the collaboration of cloche hats in delicate ivory straw, with puffed net forming the full crown and, at one side, near the front, a cluster of beautiful roses or of waxen water lilies. Some of the newest models in voile de soie show perfectly shaped skirts decorated with a number of tucks on the hem of the skirt. Needless to say, these tucks are always stitched by hand, and they are arranged in graduated widths. At the extreme hem they measure about five inches, and then they are reduced each one-half an inch as they run up towards the knees. For linen dresses a favorite style of trimming is a combination of deep tucks and hand-embroidery, three tucks, a band of embroidery, and so on. For afternoon gowns, voile de soie is exceedingly fashionable, but the material for costumes of this order is Indian gauze, which can be obtained in all the pastel shades, and THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Robe of Blue Linen, with Insertions of White Linen Embroidery. which gives lovely effects when inset with old yellow lace and adorned with ribbon-work embroideries. The walking frocks of this season are very charming, and delightfully unpractical! They are not long, in the sense that they can be held up; and they are not short, in the sense that they can be trusted not to assist in keeping the streets clean! When correctly cut and when worn over exactly the right underskirts, these new skirts are altogether lovely, but it is useless to deny that they are extravagant. All women know that it is quite impossible to hold up a gown which does not possess a train, even a very slight one, though something may be done by a judicious twitch at the back. But to turn from the dress to the dressee, strange, is it not, that women of the age of 60, with portliness to march, insist upon wearing models de- signed for the maiden of 20, slender of outline? When will the matron of 60 allow us to forget that she once had a waist? My regret that she will not ignore it this season was made specially plognant by an interview with a very handsome dowager, white of hair, and pleasantly rubicund of face, who was wearing a Wedgwood blue voile, made with Japanese sleeves over a white lace blouse with a skirt cut plain in the front, and full at the back, encircled with a belt of blue glace, whilst upon her gray hair she had perched a large mushroom hat with a big ruche of blue-ribbon in it, and round her neck she wore a large white feather boa, and on her stout hands white kid gloves, which extended to the elbow. It would have given me the greatest possible pleasure to have taken her as an example on to a platform and lectured to the assembled multitude on how she could have improved her appearance without sacrificing her obvious desire to be smart. A black chiffon gown mounted over white, I would have chosen for her, hanging in long lines just above her waist, with a broad hem of black glace, and black glace ribbon forming a sort of pelerine at her shoulders to outline a vest of white which should terminate at the bust, and a large black hat (if she must wear a hat, though I should have much preferred her in a bonnet) draped with a flowing veil of black. I would have insisted on sleeves with a graceful drapery falling from the elbow at the back, held tightly above the wrist to diminish the too broad contours. Had she had any special objection to black chiffon, I would have suggested black lace or net, and velvet ribbons instead of the taffeta, and I have the remembrance of a small bonnet made of black crinoline in bow form, outlined with jet, which, with a black lace parsol lined with white chiffon, might have been called into service to best complete the effect. Some of the newest veilings are cream-white tulle dotted all over with pin points of black, and this veil is, as I have frequently mentioned, the most becoming a woman can adopt, irrespective of age. For those whose complexions have lost their first bloom this veil can be lined with palest shell pink tulle or with the same material in pale blue, the latter being specially flattering to dark skins. A Clear Claim. An official of the pension office at Washington offers the following excerpt from an especially amusing letter received from a claimant for pension: "The way I got my war ingery was a-ketchin of a hog. The hog were a sow hog and our Capten wanted her for forage. He was chasin the sow and she crawled threw a hoal in a rale fense—it were a big hoal and I thot I were about the size of the hog and tried to crawl threw, but I stuck and trying to wigle out I throde the rales off and one hit me on my hed and nocked my senseless. I do not think the sow had nothing to do with my line for duty for I did not ketch the hog. Wich she never were caught."—Lippincott's Magazine Plumbago. Plumbago, popularly black lead, scientifically graphite, got its name, says the Ironmonger, from the assumption that it contained lead; and, indeed, certain lead ores and oxides have at times been called plumbago; but Enkel found in 1597 that what we now call graphite yielded no lead, and he called it sterile plumbago. Scheele, in 1789, proved that it was an allotopic form of carbon. It Makes a Difference. "Who is that large, fat, overdressed pudgy woman in the box?" asked the stranger at the theater. "That? Why, that is Mrs. Gottalot. Yor know she is worth about fifty millions, and—" But the stranger had turned to the friend he had brought along and was whispering: "Do you see that plump lady in the box—the one with the beautiful clothes and the diamonds? That is the famous Mrs. Gottalot." Summer Sale Here again—Our Semi-Annual Clearance Sale.

Denver. - - Colorado. --- 2317-19 Larimer Street A Word About a Favorite Theory as to Short Crops. In the bottom of its heart a good part of the financial community cherishes the suspicion that financial crises, especially when caused or accompanied by bad harvests, have something to do with "sun spots," says the New York Post. The argument is that these years of intense solar activity come somewhere near once in ten years and so do panics; that "sun spots" very probably cause abnormal seasons on our own planet and that abnormal seasons cause crop failures and trouble in the stock exchange. Nobody would need to take this seriously but for the fact that, 32 years ago, a very eminent English economist frankly asserted his belief in the theory. Prof. Jevons was so confident of its applicability that in 1875 he predicted a European panic in 1879, because the "sun-spot" activity would then be again approaching a maximum. But how about the facts? The year 1837 was one of sun-spot maximum and also a year of commercial panic Sun spots were very active in 1871 1872 and 1873 and we know what happened in the markets. In 1883 a violent maximum was reached; Europe and a stock-exchange panic in 1882 and the United States one in 1884 There was a famous "sun-spot year" in 1893 and, what is more to the point we are still in a period of solar activity and disordered markets. So far, this is all very well; but let us be thorough. The panic of 1857 was one of the worst on the list, and 1857 came in a period of sun-spot minimum. In 1866, when one of the worst of England's financial crises occurred, solar activity was at the lowest level in a decade. A period of sun-spot minimum began in 1889 and continued into the "Baring year", 1890. Evidently sun spots do not all ways have the same effect. Prof. Jevons thought that the effect was brought about through crop failures. The astronomers tell us, however, that so far as there is any correspondence, "cold years, rains and inundations appear to correspond to those when the sun is quiet; dry and warm years to epochs of great solar activity." Now a dry year may ruin crops as well as a cold year; but as a matter of record among panic years 1857 produced an abundant European harvest, 1873 yielded a "bumper crop" in the United States, with 1872 a good second, and 1884 a year of unparalleled wheat production all over the world. And what is to be said of 1879 and 1897, when the world raised "bumper crops" in the western hemisphere and lost most of the harvest in the eastern. WARNING IN SHOE SOLE. Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate t Start Electric Buzzer. Some of the dives about town that are under the ban of the police have ingenious contrivances for warning occupants and patrons of the ap proach of a "bull" or any other suspected person. By the way, these places are never referred to in the vernacular as "dives" or "joints," for the vocabulary of the inventors of slang changes as quickly as a word comes into general use, so a suspected place is now always referred to as a "dump." Warning of the approach of a police man or detective is given by means of an electric buzzer. Formerly the push button connected with the buzzer was concealed under the edge of the bar in front of or behind a water pipe. This device, however, was discovered by the police, who thereafter on entering a suspected place kept a close watch on the barkeeper and gave him no chance to press the button. Then came the prong device. This consisted of two small metal prongs projecting from the edge of the wall. When a man suspected to be a limb of the law entered the door the barkeeper carelessly placed a coin across the two prongs, thus making a circuit and causing the buzzer to sound in the rear. This device was discovered, too, so now a lookout is stationed outside the door of a dive. He apparently is a louder, but he scans closely by a quick glance the face of every person who enters. If a man doesn't look "all right" the lookout presses his foot, which has a copper plate nailed to the sole, to another small plate affixed to the surface of a cellar doorway outside. This makes the circuit and causes the buzzer to get busy, so that by the time the "bull" throws open the door the occupants who are wanted by the police have had time to make their escape and those who remain are seated at tables harmlessly drinking beer or engaged in a friendly game of pinchole or whist. Everything is apparently "on the level" and the "bull" is forced to withdraw without having been able to obtain any evidence. Misunderstood. "Your sentence is to be suspended," began the merciful court. "Great Scott, jedge," exclaimed the prisoner, "ef I'd known chicken stealing was a hanging offense I wouldn't have stole."—Philadelphia Ledger.
