THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Washington D.C. The Passing of Samuel Paul Edmonston, the Last Survivor of a Noted Episode of the Old Slave Days. An Uncle Tom's Cabin Topic. Washing The Passing of Samuel Paul Ed Noted Episode of the Old Tom's Cal Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. The most optimistic of us often despair of this race of ours, yet if we properly read the lessons taught by hundreds and thousands of lives that have been lived by Negro men and women at all stages of our racial progress in America, there would be found abundant cause for increasing hopefulness. The life to which reference is about to be made differs only in degree and breath of experience, to that of many a poor soul in whom the spark of manhood but feebly burned under the old slave system, but which the slighest zephyr of tolerance, encouragement or opportunity might have fanned into a roaring flame, inextinguishable and uncontrollable. Out of such crude, raw and seemingly impossible material there has been developed a devout and christian race. Out of this too there has come a long list of heroes and martyrs, whose uncomplaining suffering and lifelong sacrifice of the most tender and sacred of our human emotions may one day furnish the theme for a great American Epic, to some poetic genius of the Negro race. These grand old people, these noble fathers and mothers, to whom we all owe so much of love and duty, who have given freely of the very best service of which their minds and bodies were capable, both to their masters and to their posterity, are fast disappearing from our midst forever. The fruits of their lives must however, remain with us, to comfort and cheer, to stimulate and encourage, to admonish and restrain. So it is that the life of Samuel Paul Edmonston and others of his class, when they shall have been written, must prove of incalculable interest as a lesson and inspiration to Negroes everywhere and in every walk of life. Samuel Edmonston was perhaps the last survivor of a number of persons who had a part in one of the most dramatic incidents of the old slave period. He was one of fourteen children born to Paul and Amelia usually called "Millie" Edmonston. The father was strong, thrifty and ambitious even as the mother was earnest and devoted in all the duties which revolve around the domestic hearth. The boys and girls were early taught to work and as each arrived at the age of twelve, their time was hired to one of the well-to do families of the district. Samuel was about twenty-two when a scheme originating with two Englishmen, Sayres and Drayton, the object of which was to carry the slaves of the District away to freedom, was unfolded to him. He subscribed with all his energy to the undertaking and when the fatal night arrived, there were seventy-seven fugitives, six of whom were his brothers and sisters, aboard the little steamer Pearl bound for Philadelphia. The incidents of this trip are in its details both tragic and pathetic. The hope and trustfulness born of a strong religious faith, that this was the especial means provided by Heaven to encompass their freedom—the terrible disappointment and shock upon being captured and returried to Washington—the astounding news of their betrayal by Judson Diggs, a Judas of their own race—their varied experiences at the hands of slave traders—the voyage to New Orleans where Samuel was sold, all seem rather a part of some well conceived tale of romance, rather than the true heart story of persons, many of whom have been known to us, day by day, through many years. At New Orleans, Samuel discovered his eldest brother Hamilton, who run away years before and was then a prosperous cooper in that city. The other children were returned North and were confined for several weeks in the slave pens at Alexandria, Va. The two girls Emily and Mary were finally permitted to go to New York with their father Paul, upon the assurance of substantial white citizens, that the money for their purchase would be forth coming. In this connection, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe tells in an interesting way, in her Key to Uncle Toms Cabin, of how on the pulpit of the Tabernacle, Mr. Beecher conducted an Auction, which resulted in the purchase of their freedom. Samuel still determined to secure his freedom, bided his time at New Orleans and while awaiting a favorable time to get away, made the acquaintance of a maid in the home of a friend of his master, to whom he was in a short while married. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1907. After two years spent here, he finally in desperation, got together all the money he could, about three hundred dollars in gold and upon a favorable opportunity presenting, took passage on a West India steamer as a merchant from Jamaica who had been to New Orleans in search of a bale of goods which had gone astray. His narrative of how he was called from his cabin by the Captain to be inspected by the Customs Officer, how the three took a social glass together and how the officer wished that he might be successful in finding his goods, as he went over the side of the ship, are intensely interesting and dramatic. From Jamaica he took the first steamer out for Liverpool where he remained two years working as a butler in a rich family and then sailed for Australia, where he was joined later by his wife and little boy. He became prosperous there as a teamster and sheepherder. Two other children were born in this voluntary exile and at length after twenty years, the family returned to the United States. Mr. Edmonston during the last twenty years was employed as private doorman at one of the large hotels of Washington, where his genial manners and kindly bearing, have endeared him to the traveling public and citizens generally. He was the last survivor of his immediate family, his wife and children having all preceded him into the great beyond. His old age was rendered comfortable through the thrift of earlier years; he was administered to in his last illness by loving grand children and devoted friends and but a few days ago, with the hope of a blessed immortality, this humble though eventful life, was brought to a peaceful close at the age of 83. JOHN H. PAYNTER. Awful Mistake. Because of the mistake of a court clerk who wrote "years" instead of "months," Rhena Rivers, a Negro girl, served almost twenty years in the Alabama penitentiary when she died and her sentence should only have been twelve months. The mistake of the clerk has just been discovered, but too late for the girl, who had almost completed the twenty years, when typhoid fever struck her down. While in prison a child was born. The girl was only twelve years of age, and was sent up from a sparsely settled part of the state. There the courts at that time were crudely administered. She was arraigned for larceny and went through the trial and was given a sentence of less than two years. In a few days she was sent to the mines and there she remained un til her death recalled who she was. The white people for whom her mother worked became interested in the case, and it occurred to them that the sentence was a long one for so small a crime, so they looked it up. They discovered that a mistake had been made, but too late to help the poor girl. However, her mother, who is now old and ill and needs help, has had a bill presented to the legislature to have the state pay for the difference in the time she served and what she should have served. K. P. Grand Lodge Hold Interesting Session in Pueblo Everybody Jubilient Over the Marked Progress Shown in all Lines. The annual session of the Colorado Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias convened in Pueblo, Colo., Tuesday, July 23rd for a three days' session. Grand Chancellor W. R. Hardy called the meeting to order at 10 a. m. and after the opening ceremonies the various committees were appointed afterwhich the session adjourned until 2 o'clock. After the opening of the afternoon session the Heroldic degree was conferred on several candidates. This was followed by the report of the Grand Chancellor, Grand Master of Exchequer, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal and Grand Lecturer each of which revealed much advancement in all lines. During the afternoon a telegram was received from Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks was read in which he said: "One hundred thousand Brave Knights join me in extending greetings to the Colorado Grand Lodge and wish you a successful session." In the evening an interesting program was rendered at the Baptist church and among the numbers was the welcome address by acting Mayor, John A. Martin and was responded to in behalf of of the citizens by Sir. C. S. Muse of Denver. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook of Denver, was then introduced and responded in behalf of the Knights of Pythias. The Dr. was quite eloquent and logical in his discourse as was also Sir. Musc and both were vigorously applauded and warmly congratulated. Wednesday proved to be a very lively session and besides the transaction of much business the following officers were selected for the ensuing term: W. R. Hardy, G. C.; H. G. Fox, G. V. C.; Harry Jones, G. P.; L. L. Duncan, G. M. of E; D. M. Tannahill, G. K. of R. & S.; W. Benjamin, G. M. at A.; W. H. Penson, G. I. G.; P. A. Watson, G. O. G.; Dr. S. A. Huff, Grand Medical Director; Benjamin Hatcher, Grand Marshal. Supreme Representatives, C. S. Muse and L. L. James. Denver was selected for the next place of meeting. Appropriate memorial servives were held at the A. M. E. church Wednesday evening, the sermon being delivered by Rev. W. H. Prince. Thursday an excursion from Colorado Springs brought a large crowd. The session adjourned at noon to meet in extra session on Friday. At 3:30 Thursday afternoon the big street parade took place with the following line-up: Mounted police, Capt. Powell and his Centennial Band of Colorado Springs, Uniform Rank companies, Cadetts, Pueblo Band, Subordinate members in twos, Grand Lodge officers, Delegates and Calanthes in carriages. The procession disbanded at Crystal Palace which is located in a beautiful park. The installation of officers was held at the Palace at 8 o'clock, afterwhich dancing held sway until a late hour. Harris' orchestra of Denver, furnished music for the occasion and this popular musical organization was paid high compliments by everybody. Erect Monument for Negro. Few men make such an impress upon their day and generation that at their death there is a spontaneous movement to erect in their honor an enduring memorial as a mark of the esteem in which they have been held by their fellow citizens. When such a monument is erected it is considered a noteworthy event in the history of a community. For a Negro to be so honored is an event of such rare occurrence that it is worthy of more than passing mention, and this is offered as an excuse for a brief statement of the facts concerning the erection of a monument to Joseph Levan by the people of Sumter. Joseph Levan was born a slave in 1830, and was the property of Mr. Anthony White, Sr. of this country. He was trained to be a house servant, and by the time he was grown he was a first-class cook, barber, and handy man generally. When the war broke out and the first company was organized in Sumter to go to Virginia, Joe was hired from his master by Lieut. J. Diggs Wilder, who carried him to Virginia to serve him in the dual capacity of body servant and cook. This company took part in the battle of Bull Run, and Capt. J. S. Richardson was wounded. Joe was then commissioned to wait on him while he was in the hospital. When Capt. Richardson was able to return home, Joe rejoined the company at the front, and continued in the service of Lieut. Wilder for two years, serving him and other members of the company with a devo- NO. 45. tion and zeal that won for him their lifelong friendship. After the war, Joe opened a barber shop in this town, which he conducted continuously until his death, in 1905. He had a patronage that rival shops could not win away from him, and as long as "Joe the Barber," was able to work, his was the most popular place of the kind in town, notwithstanding the fact that numerous better equipped "tonsorial parlors" were established from time to time. He never performed any single spectacular service, but was simply faithful, courteous, honest, and industrious throughout his life. He asked no favors from any man, and was content to earn an honest living at his trade. In manner he was polite and respectful, without a trace of severity; reserved and dignified in deportment, and his word was better than many a white man's bond. When he died there was general regret in this community, and his funeral was attended by hundreds of his white friends. The suggestion, made in a local paper, that a popular subscription be started for the purpose of erecting a simple monument to mark his grave met with immediate response, and in a short time a sufficient sum was in the hands of Mr. J. Diggs Wilder, adjutant of Camp Dick Anderson, U. C. V., of which Joe was an honorary member, to pay for the monument.—Charleston News and Courier. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. James Jones, colored, who was a body guard of Jefferson Davis and who has the Confederate seal that was entrusted to him by President Davis just before the evacuation of Richmond, was offered $15,000 to produce the seal, by men representing leading confederates. He replied that no amount of money could tempt him to betray the trust imposed by Jefferson Davis and that the secret would be buried with him. Lake Butler, Fla., July 22. Because the hanging of a Negro in the line of his official duty preyed on his nerves Sheriff Joseph B. Bennett of Stark county, blew out his brains today at his home here in the presence of his wife. About two weeks ago the sheriff adjusted the noose and sprang the death trap for a Negro who had been convicted of murder. Although a brave man Sheriff Bennett could never bear the sight of suffering, and he could never rid himself of the memory of the Negro dangling and choking at tho rope's end, He got so he could not sleep, and told friends he would never again have peace of mind. This morning after a sleepless night, he rose, secured his pistol and shot himself, while his wife was still in bed. Mrs. Bennett awoke just as her husband's body fell across the bed.

New York—A remarkable scene, closely paralleling that memorable one in Paris when Capt. Alfred Dreyfus was publicly degraded before the French army, was enacted in ‘the trial- room at police headquarters here re- cently. For the first time in more than thirty years a patrolman had been adjudged guilty of cowardice. He is Stephen S. Walsh, who, according to the charge made against him last week, fled from an armed man who had shot and killed a woman. The keen interest with which the unustial case was followed rose to a point of dramatic intensity when Po- lice Commissioner Bingham, who had presided personally at the trial, an- nounced in a voice choked with emo- tion that the charge against the unfor- tunate man had been proved. Then the commissioner turned to Inspector Richard Walsh, in whose district Ste- phen Walsh was a patrolman, but who 4s no relative of the dismissed man, and directed the inspector to strip Walsh of his shield and uniform but- tons so that he might not even leave the trial room with the emblems of his former position as a policeman in good standing on his person. ‘The @owd looked on in wonder and excite- ment ay the inspector advanced to perform His unpleasant task, Re cetitahen af ahe kaa Denver.—Arthur Combs, who three months ago induced Evelyn Wilson, the seventeen-year-old daughter of a prominent Phoentx, Ariz, man, to elope with him, was recently arrested at Greeley. Combs brought his wife to Denver and went to a rooming house at Twen- tieth and Larimer streets. The next @ay he disappeared, and the broken- hearted girl appealed to the Denver po- lice, as she was left without a cent and knew not which way to turn, her ‘people having discarded her. The marshal of Boulder, who read the story of the desertion, telephoned Mrs. Combs that her husband was seen on the streets of Boulder badly intox- jeated. Kind-hearted people in Denver helped the child-wife and she went to Boulder, hoping to locate Combs through his parents, who live in that city. On reaching Boulder she found that Combs had decamped for parts unknown and she finally located him in Greeley. Combs had pose as a rich man’s son to the girl, but his fortune is all in his mind. When arrested Combs sald that he was on a protracted spree when he married the girl, and therefore did not sonsider her tender years, Bad Man Kills Deputy Sheriff. Albuquerque, N. M.—Joe Malley, known as a “bad man,” who runs a shooting gallery at Santa Fe, shot and almost instantly killed Deputy Sheriff Charles Smith while the latter was at- tempting to arrest him, Malley also sent a bullet through the left side of a neighbor who tried to interfere while Malley’s mother was pleading with him not to carry out his intention of “shooting up” the town. Malley announced that if any officer attempted to take him he would get ‘all six bullets of his revolver. | “Every chamber is loaded,” said ‘Malley, “and my finger is itching to ‘pull the trigger.” He had terrorized the town for an hour when Smith arrived at his shack and started to get him. As he ‘did so Malley emptied*the whole six chambers into the deputy’s body, the first shot severing the left pulmonary artery and almost instantly Killing ‘Smith. | Malley ran out the back door and into the street fn front of the court house, where he held a posse at bay for twenty minutes before he was cap- tured. | Malley was placed in jail and fs be- ing heavily guarded to prevent a a lynching. *itiindion- Kind Rouk: | Milan, Tenn.—Four persons were killed outright and another was fatally injured and ten others were seriously hurt when the boiler of an engine at- tached to a fast Illinois Central freight train, north-bound, exploded near this place, wrecking the train, as well as another freight train standing on an adjacent siding. ‘The dead: Engineer Maloney, Chicago.

WAITING FOR THE FUN, Youngster Had Reason to Expect “Something Would Happen.” An old gentleman, rather portly and clad in a somewhat youthful suit of light gray flannel, sat on a bench in the park enjoying the day, relates the Woman's Home Companion. “What's the matter, sonny?” he asked a small urchin who Jay on the Brass just across the walk and stared intently. “Why don't you go and play?" “Don't wanter,” the boy replied. “But it is not natural,” the old gen- tleman insisted, “for a boy to be so quiet. Why don’t you run about?" “Oh, I'm just waitin’,” the little fel- low answered. “I'm just awaitin’ tll you get up. A man painted that bench about fifteen minutes ago.” TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA.

Put in ‘buttered muffin rings and break an legg on top. Place in oven until egg ‘is just the right consistency. Slip a pancake turner under them and re- moye to a warm platter, then gently run a knife around the ring, removing it and leaving your muffin shaped dainty. This may be garnished with crisp pleces of bacon. Quick Dessert.—Beat the whites of four eggs, add four tablespoons sugar, four of cocoa. Bake in a pudding dish in moderate oven about 15 minutes. Serve at once with whipped cream. Raspberry tce.—Three tablespoon- fuls of sugar, one cupful of raspber- ries, one-third cupful water, one tea- spoonful of lemon juice. Sprinkle raspberries with sugar, cover, and let stand one hour; then mash and squeeze through cheesecloth to presa out as much juice as possible. Add Jemon juice and freeze. Juicy Roast.—Heat some beef fat in an fron pan or broad kettle. Put the meat into it and with a fork stuck in the fat part turn until it is a fine brown on all sides. This is done to keep in the juices. Put into a hot ‘oven elevated from the bottom. Now in five minutes you will find the top dried, which will make it necessary to dip the hot fat from the pan over the top of the meat. Repeat every few minutes. Add no water to the pan. When half done-add salt and pepper, as it will toughen if seasoned before. Vegetable Soup for Hay Stove.— Clean soup bone and put in large hay stove bucket; add water, salt and pep- ber to taste; two carrots chopped fine; one good sized onion; two bay leaves; six allspice berries; one-quarter cup of rice. Cook one-half hour on fire. Then remove to hay stove and leave ten hours. Ribbon Sandwiches.—Ribbon sand. wiches are pretty on the plate. Rye bread and white bread in alternating layers, with cream cheese between, or Boston brown bread and white bread, or graham and white will give the Hbbon effect. Another idea requires three square, thin slices of white bread and two corresponding slices of whole-wheat bread. Butter a slice of white bread and cover it with a fill ing made of egg paste, then put upon it a slice of whole-wheat bread and butter that and cover with egg paste. On top of that place another slice of white bread and repeat the operation with white bread and whole-wheat bread, alternating until you have used all your five slices. A Good Suggestion. Often and often you have stood by the kitchen table laboriously trying to clean the silk from green corn, Of course, you know just how difficult this can be at times, especially when the silk is deeply imbedded. Have a small brush for this purpose—the vegetable brush will do—and you will be delighted in finding how much more quickly you can accomplish the work. Another good suggestion is to vse the scissors to “snip” ‘beans which are free from strings. The work is done more rapitlly than when one takes the time to tediously perform the work by hand.

Rumbaugh Deserted Wife In Pittsburg to Be Near the ‘Qiit Ade evad: d Colorado Springs, Colo.—While the the coroner's jury in the Laura Math- ews case was waiting to hear the tés- timony of A. R. Rumbaugh, the chief witness in the case, his life was slowly ebbing away from a self-in- filcted bullet wound in his head. ‘With his death came the solution of the baffling mystery. Rumbaugh had deserted a wife in Mount Pleasant, Pensylvania, to be near the beautiful Laura Mathews. He loved and nothing in the world could act as a bar to his affections, ‘The gir! loved C. A. Coey, a wealthy Chicago merchant, and tried to rid herself of Rumbaugh. He threatened to murder her and finally believed sheed,imeesr her and she firmly belleved he in- tended to carry out his threat. Then came a letter from Chicago from which the beautiful girl learned that the man she loved cared for her no longer. This, added to her trou- bles with Rumbaugh, was more than she could bear and early Monday morn- ing her dead body was found on the road near Broadmoor. Rumbaugh, al- most frantic with grief, settled up his affairs and yesterday afternoon added the final chapter to the story by end- ing his life just as the girl he loved had ended hers. had ended hers. Colorado Springs, Colo—The ver- Zicts of the two juries were practically the same, only the names of the trage- dies being different. ‘The coroner's jury over the body of Rumbaugh re- turned a verdict within two hours af- | ter the Mathews verdict. Following is the verdict in the Mathews inquest: “We, the jury find that Laura Math- ews came to her death by a shot from a pistol; that°said pistol wound was self-inflicted with suicidal intent af- ter 8:30 p. m. Sunday, July 28, 1907, and took place on Tenth street hill, Ivywild, in El Paso county, state of Colorado.” ‘The verdict in the Rumbaugh ease is as follows: “We, the jury, find that Amos R. Rumbaugh came to his death by a shot with a pistol, and that sald pistol wound was self-inflicted with suicidal intent at about the hours between 1 and 3 o'clock p. m. in the Alta Vista hotel on July 30, 1907, in El Paso county, state of Colorado.” Mystery ever deepening envelopes the double tragedy, and each new dis- covery of the police but adds to the obscurity which enshronds the victims and the living principals. For two days Amos Richard Rum- baugh apparently lent all his efforts to assist the authorities in arriving at a solution of the mysterious death of Laura Mathews, the Chicago actress whose dead body was found a few fect from Broadmoor hill on Monday morn- ing. ‘When subpoenaed to appear before the coroner's inquest Rumbaugh sent a bullet through his brain, After lying unconscious all night, death put its seal on Rumbaugh’s lips, the second deatn in three days. ‘The secret of the two misspent lives may be in the keeping of Tillie Groen, the nurse and handmaid of Miss Math- ews, now in custody, and she may yet ibe induced to tell. The actions of Tillle Green prior to the tragedy are unaccountable. Mysterious Miss Green. Hollrs before the body of Miss Math- ews was discovered the Green woman Wwired Charles! Ooay, tie Chicago: mill fonaire, that Miss Mathews had com- mitted suicide. It has been learned that the gun found beside Miss Mathews was the property of Miss Green. Several days prior to the tragedy Miss Green accompanied the unfortu- nate girl to an undertaking ‘establish- ment and helped her select the casket which should contain her mortal re- mains. ‘What manner of woman was Miss Green, sent by Coey to be a companion to Miss Mathows? The elements of the case indicate that the young girl was the subject of autentions from two men, Charles Coey, the Chicago millionaire, and Rumbaugh, the sufeide. Rumbaugh, it 1s learned, deserted a wife in Pitts- burg. Across the Continent. He followed Laura Mathews across the continent and prosecuted his suit with ardor during the weeks they were in Colorado Springs. Both he and the girl were well supplied with money, but it is known that none of her ex- penses constituted a burden upon him, ‘The other man, Charles Coey, the Chicago millionaire, is believed to have sustained the relation of af- flanced lover to the girl, although he dentes this. Immediately upon the re- ceipt of Miss Green's telegram an- nouncing Laura Mathews’ death, he wired $300 to defray the funeral ex- penses. The correspondence exchanged between him and Miss Green concern- ing the first tragedy would indicate ‘that his interest in Miss Mathews was ‘of a close charactor, Rumbaugh knew of Coey’s acquaint- ance with the girl, and he was exceed: inly jealous of the fact. Tillie Green evidently looked to Coey for remuneration for her services to Miss Mathews. It is presumed that the Green woman was maintained in close relationship with Miss Mathews at the instance and by engagement of Coey. Was the companionship of Tillie Green with the actress a sinister sur- -velllance? Miss Mathows was moody. She had frequently spoken of sulcide, Miss reen says. Why was it that Miss ‘Green kept at hand, accessible to Laura Mathews, the weapon which finally she used to accomplish her Heath? ‘Miss Green now discusses such fea- tures of the case as she consents to talk about with a coldnes and lack’ of ‘aympathy for the young girl which In- ‘dicate an indifference hard to recon- cile in a woman, The visit to the undertaking estab- Ushment, the frequent talks with her charge on the subject of suicide an4 the knowledge conveyed that the gun was within reach, what do all these facts indicate but an attitude that boded only ill to Laura Mathews. Formal complaint has been made against. Miss Green charging her with conspiracy in assisting Miss Mathews to commit suicide. But while according to such ele- ments of probability to the sinister part takon in the affair of Miss Green, the authorities are not overlooking the possibility of murder by Rumbaugh, followed by his suicide. Rumbaugh was insanely jealous of Laura Mathews. He was constantly in her company and he knew her frame of mind toward himself and Coey. Several witnesses are at hand who heard Rumbaugh make threats against Laura Mathews. To other persons the girls expressed her fear of the Pitts- burg man, whom she believed intended to kill her. Finally Rumbaugh put an end to his own existence and the mo- tive is held to be fear of consequences to himself after a thorough investiga- tion of the facts surrounding the death of Laura Mathews. Rumbaugh’s actions while in Colo: rado Springs were such as to make him the subject of suspicion. He pur- sued a rather fast existence, lived un- der an alias at one hotel and made a series of conflicting statements after the death of Laura Mathews was dls- covered. It can well be believed that his af- fairs in the East caused him a great deal of worry. He was well connected and desertion of his wife unquestion ably preyed upon his mind. That there was an agreement be ‘tween him and Laura Mathews that they should both put an end to exist ence is not entertained with any do gree of seriousness, although the sul- cide pact is suggested as one of the vain theories upon which an under standing of the mystery can be based. Use Money Before Available. Denver.—Dr. E. C. Hill, the chemist, who has been doing some work for the State Board of Health in its investiga“ tions under the pure food law, will now be able to cash his voucher for $40 which was turned down a short time ago by State Auditor Statler. ‘The attorney general's office has an- nounced an opinion which allows some of the money appropriated by the last Legislature to be used before the new law goes into effect, but not all of it. Dr. Hill's voucher is a legitimate ex- pense that comes under the money the attorney general's office says can be used this year, and 4t will be honored by the state auditor within a day or two. ‘The opinion was written by Horace Phelps. It holds that out of the $4,300 the Legislature allowed for the prose- cution of the pure food work in 1907, the only items that can be legally available are the $200 for traveling ex- penses, $1,000 salary for chemist, $600 for clerk and $500 for laboratory ex- penses. In addition to these amounts the Legislature allowed $2,000, which it was the intention of the board of health to apply to paying the salary of an inspector, thus beginning the work six months ahead of time. Phelps says he is in doubt as to whether this appropriation can be thus applied, and asks time to make further investiga. tion. ‘The use of the $2,300 will enable the State Board of Health to do consider- able preliminary work, but it is likely that nothing will be done toward the appointment of an inspector until the law goes into effect, January, 1908. Lived to See Father. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Because he was determined to see his father before he died, W. Frank Simonton of Upper Sandusky, Ohio, lived four days after the time when all precedent and reason sald he should have died. Simonton was operated on for appendicitis here last week, the operation revealing a hopeless condition. Last ‘Thursday, when it was thought at the hospital that the death of the patient was the matter of an hour or so, Simonton realized his condition and requested that his father, in Upper Sandusky, be sent for, stating his de- termination to live until he had seen and talked with the old man. There was not the slightest probability that Simonton would live out the day, but his wish was complied with. ‘Then the sick man began an aston- ishing battle against death, retaining full possession of his faculties when he should have been unconscious, and liv- ing when to retain the spark of life sevmed an impossibility. By sheer force of will he won, for he ras still alive and conscious when his father arrived In the city. After a pa- thetic meeting between father and son young Simonton resigned himself to the inevitable and two hours later was dead. His body was shipped to Upper Sandusky, accompanied by the father. Widow Is Being Held. New York—Mrs. Jane Wheeler, a widow of Birmingham, England, who has been twice married, arrived at Hillis island on July 10th, aboard the Cunarder Carmanta, with her two lit- Le boys, one blind in one eye. She herself is lame. The local immigration authorities barred her and tho young. sters, Her son by her first marriage, ‘Thomas Leek, a prosperous farmer of Aurora, Colorado, whither she was bound, appealed to Washington. Mayor Edward G. Smith of Aurora and all the town officials decided that if they were anything like Leek they would be desirable accessions to Aurora. Mayor Smith appealed to Acting Governor Harper of Colorado, who started things moving in Washington. Commissioner Watchorn was notified that he might admit Mrs. Wheeler un- der $1,000 bond, and he did so. Mrs. Wheeler and her boys are on their way to Aurora. FABULOUS DEPOSIT OF GOLD PROVES COLORADO'S MERIT. LITTLE JONNY OPENS POCKET A Strike That Would Send Goldfield Wild and Send Stock Soar- ina Sie taken out of newly discovered pockets in tho Little Jonny mine $286,000 worth of gold ore, ‘Twenty sacks were shipped to Den- yer Which netted in cash $72,000, ‘There 1s a great deal of excitement in Leadville over this last fabulous discovery in a mine which has already produced millions, but nothing com- pared to tho hurrah that is made in Goldfigia or its sister Nevada gold camps over the find of a few thou- sands. In Leadville great strikes are taken as a matter of course and have con- tinued at frequent Intervals for thirty years past. The mines are on the most legitimate basis and are operated for the profit that fs in the ore and not for the sale of stock, There aro four men who own nearly all of the stock of the Little Jonny, John F. Campion, William Byrd Page and Trimble & Hunter, owners of the Leadville Carbonate National Bank. ‘The result of this strike and other rich strikes of late in the Leadville district has made a healthy increase in the price of all the stocks of the district. ‘The stock of the Little Vin- nie, owned by the Golden Eagle com- pany and adjoining the Little Jonny, jumped 20 cents yesterday. ‘The strike in the Little Jonny is very near the walls of this mine. ‘There are thousands of claims in the ‘Leadville district offering more certain opportunities probably than in any other mining camp in the world. On Verge of Boom. Not only have the geological sur- yeys of the possible ore strata been made, but development has gone far enough to prove their authenticity. Just now Leadville seems to be on the yerge of a boom that will eclipse even the first great fame of the camp. Possibly no mine was ever more dis- appointing in its beginnings than the Little Jonny. Campion, Trimble and Hunter had great faith in it and de- ‘cided to expend $20,000 in proving its worth. This went without any definite results. Twenty thousand dollars more was put in and this, too, failed to reach a paying ore body. The three hesitated after $40,000 had been sunk, but finally decided to expend $30,000 more, and if the showing was not then satisfactory, to quit. Tt was not until nearly all of this had been used that the first rich strike was made. Handful Worth Fortune. From that day on the mine has paid tremendously. At one time a pocket was struck so rich in gold ttha a man could almost carry a fortune away in his pockets. The direct benefit to Leadville from this strike in the Little Jonny can not bo over-estimated. It is just another evidence that Leadville, even though it has already produced millions upon millions, s yet in the infancy of its riches, Great strikes have been made, but the wonderful wealth of the camp {s yet tq be uncovered. No old camp in the West is so prolific of opportuni- ties, for while many men have already made millions, there are still a thou- sand prospect chances to every devel- oped mine. The reports of mining en- gineers and United States geological surveyors show that the entire district is underlaid with gold and silver-bear- | ing mineral. Leadville combines, more than any other mining district, true fissure veins and fabulously rich pockets of ore. Much 6f the mining has been in low- grade ore, but with it have been found devosits of gold such as the Little Jonny has uncovered. While a mine may work for many years @t a good profit on low-grade veins in the district, a prospect adjoin. ing may uncover in a week several hundred thousands of dollars. In all the history of western mining Leadville has been the steady pro- ducer, the camp that was considered a standby. It is a rich man’s and a poor man’s camp. Deep mining has shown the great area of the ore bodies, and prospecting has shown the riches near tie surface. In all the history of Goldfield no strike has ever been of the surprising value Of last week's find in the Little | Jonny. Arches Collapse on Erie Canal. Syracuse, N. Y.—The stone arches which support the bed of the Erie ca- nal at @ point near the center of this clty, Where it passes over Onondaga creck, gave way and four canal boats were drawn into the bed of the creek beneath, Fifty feet of the wall of the three-story Empire flouring mill fell into the water and the Bartels and Greenway breweries, respectively on the north and south banks of the ca- nal, were threatened with demolition. No one was hurt. All canal traffic is tied up, and It will be several days at least before the damage can be repaired. The boats and cargoes are total losses. Marshall Field Estate, Chiecago.—The first annual report of the executors of the will of Marshall Field has been approved by Judge Cut- ting m the Probate Court.

The popular triumphs of the young woman are noted, the cordiality with which she was sought and honored because of her beauty and personal attainments, then the discovery of her antecedents and the consequent explosion, are given in a combination of eloquent ebullition and sneezing sarcasm intended to make resentment of such cases more acute and their repetition dangerous. The young woman's given name is not mentioned, her remote family connection with some notorious colored character in Chicago's lower political circles is made prominent, and the girl's future career, notwithstanding her admitted scholarly attainments, is cast as a sacrifice upon the altar of prejudice. Of course she was white enough to "pass," but it is inferred that she should have declared the fact that a drop of Negro blood coursed in her veins, and that, therefore, she should have at least forestalled social honors. As a matter of truth, there are a good many persons in the various walks of American life who might disclose "black" blood somewhere in the line of their antecedents, but who, more content in the enjoyment of superior privileges, are "passing." Their "appearance" gives them the chance to choose between a life of sacrifice, proscription and limited attainment, and one of larger possibilities, and they choose the latter, with its necessitated silence and deception. It is their own matter, and, knowing American social conditions, they take their own chances. The Negro loses nothing by their course. The individual who does not devote himself honestly, bravely and with self-established pride to the cause of the Negro race, is of no benefit to the Negro. If he can successfully deny his lineage and prefers to do so, he inflicts no serious injury upon the white race, with which he is really most closely identified, and harms the Negro not at all. Let them "pass." If they are "discovered," it is only the slanderous ridicule connected with the inference that their remote relation to the Negro is an ineffaceable stamp of disgrace which arouses our ire. They have followed Caucasian instincts, and if there be any disgrace it was bought, and should be sold at a Caucasian market. THE HAYWOOD VERDICT. of William D.

Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, of the charge of complicity in the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, of Idaho, brings to an end, so far as he is concerned, the noted case which has attracted the attention of the Caucasian world during its prolonged trial at Boise. Throughout this country, at least, there has been a pronounced tendency to regard the trial as a supreme attempt upon the part of a great combination of mine owners to destroy the principle of labor unionism, rather than a justifiable prosecution of a cold-blooded and malicious crime, and labor unions everywhere have expressed sympathy for the defendant and their unqualified belief in his innocence. The jury was fairly chosen and undoubtedly the verdict is a fair one, upon the evidence and the law as outlined in the charge of the trial judge. To that body of our citizenship which is neither influenced by labor union citizenship nor in any manner attracted toward the collective or individual welfare of the mine owners, the verdict will not be without its surprising aspects. Those familiar with the mining troubles in this state will be inclined to believe that somebody besides Harry Orchard, the self-confessed assassin, was in some important way connected with the numerous bloody and atrocious deeds which played their part in the record of that sanguinary, half-secret strife, which shook the civil and legal fabric of the state to its foundation. They will believe, and reasonably so, that no one man was, that no two men, that no small, sporadic, irresponsible set of men were responsible for the chain of vindictive crimes which marked with terror the history of that conflict against the authority of the state. But that William D. Haywood, or any other officer of the Western Federation of Miners, was directly responsible for them, or for the particular crime for which he was tried, was not proved to the satisfaction of the jury, nor to the satisfaction of the world at large. A verdict of guilty probably would have given rise to just as much doubt. The trial represented a contest too gigantic, too far reaching, to admit of conviction upon any but the most conclusive evidence. Harry Orchard's appalling story was not believed, was not sufficiently corroborated. He killed ex-Governor Steumenberg as he had killed other men, and his word was not sufficient to drag other and better men than he into the crime. But the Western Federation of Miners and its officers would have had less trouble and been under less suspicion if it had always promptly condemned and disavowed the responsibility for the numerous crimes and monstrous horrors that were committed against individuals or the civil authorities during the campaigns waged by them in behalf of organized labor's objects. William D. Haywood is properly a free man, but defiance of law and order was not vindicated by the verdict rendered at Boise. Qualifications of the Effient Public School Teacher By E. G. COOLEY, Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, and President of National Educational Association. CHOLARSHIP and habits of study are factors that must be considered in estimating the efficiency of a teacher. No teacher who is not a student can long remain really efficient. If a teacher wishes to impart a piece of knowledge, she must not only have appropriated it herself, but she must have gone beyond it and around it. She must see it in its relation to other facts and truths. She must know from what it originated and to what it is intended to lead. The teacher should study educational processes and educational philosophy and methods. Her study cannot cease with entering the work, but must be life- S study cannot long. She can retain sys a learner herself. By the constant association with good students of books acquired of a teacher than knowledge.

Our great cities have for the preparation of the part of the work of the teachers after they enter schools and make teacher this double function will head of the school system long. She can retain sympathy with the learner only by continuing to be a learner herself. By this means, too, she can avoid the depressing effect of constant association with immature minds and ideals. It is true that many good students of books are poor teachers, and that something more is required of a teacher than ability to absorb book knowledge or even laboratory knowledge. Still the chances are extremely large that one who is a student will be a better guide for other students than the mere empiric. Teachers should not be encouraged to get into the system and then let the clock work. Advancement based on length of service only does not do justice to the teacher who has the real professional spirit. The suggestion that we can keep people up to the mark by mere fear of dismissal is made by those who are not familiar with current history. Everybody should realize how extremely difficult it is to get rid of an inefficient teacher. It must be admitted that this scheme leaves out of account exceptional natural ability, the power of the born teacher, but most of our teachers are not born, but are made, and we are compelled to frame our schemes to fit the needs and capacities of the plain, ordinary teacher who has to learn her business. Our great cities have found it necessary to establish Normal schools for the preparation of their teachers. It will soon become as legitimate a part of the work of the Normal school to carry forward the training of teachers after they enter the service as it was to take them from the high schools and make teachers of them. The Normal school that can fulfill this double function will soon establish itself in its proper place, at the head of the school system. Doctrine of Strenuous Life By ELLERY H. CLARK.

We need the strenuous spirit which expresses do things and to do them as well as we can. This must be limited by sense of honorable rules of the game, to take no mean advance contest or exhibition for mere vainglory, only unmanly conceit or chagrin and resentment. In this country the strenuous life has found expression among a larger number of the people and in a more intense degree than at any other period of our growth. This is notably true of the extent to which it has affected our sports and athletic exercises. There has been a pronounced and very wholesome development of interest in physical pastimes and recreations within a comparatively short time. The interest in athletics, indeed, is shared by about every class of the American people. It is natural that the ambitious spirit of youthful America should have been aroused by the promise of physical prowess which athletic exercise holds out, and it was inevitable that the sense of competition should have been excited to the point of contest for physical superiority. Undoubtedly this competition has aided greatly in the development of general interest and participation in athletics, but it has frequently reached a stage where the doctrine of the strenuous life has been overworked and a too strenuous life has been followed. The too strenuous, in athletics or in anything else, is, of course, intemperance, and intemperance is followed inevitably by degeneration. There are two excessive phases of the strenuous life which may be mentioned. One is the disposition to specialize in athletics, to develop certain muscles or powers enormously, at the expense of other muscles or powers. Another is the disposition to carry the spirit of contest in sport too far, to make every competitive exhibition a fight attended by the expression on the part of the spectators of the bitterest partisanship. Great sums are wagered on contests, and strong temptation is thus presented to the contestants to win at any cost. This may lead to trickery and to meanness and it certainly is not calculated to promote the most important of principles, namely, that of "fair play." We need the strenuous spirit which expresses itself in the purpose to do things and to do them as well as we can, but this laudable practice must be limited by sense of honorable obligation to follow the rules of the game, to take no mean advantage and to refrain from contest or exhibition for mere vainglory, which too often excites only unmanly conceit or chagrin and True Religion Is Sympathetic By REV.

Picnic Party, Helped Out of Dilemma, Ungrateful to No Purpose. A big picnic wagon, loaded with a dozen men, numerous hampers and baskets of eatables and several kegs of beer, was moving south on Troost avenue just after midnight Sunday morning, says the Kansas City Times. It was raining in torrents. They were beyond the city limits when the sleepy horses drew the wagon to the side of the street into a rut and it toppled over. The hampers, baskets, kegs, and merry party were piled into a heap without injury to anything-except a few pies and sandwiches. The horses stopped and the merry party held a council to determine how to right the overturned vehicle. Just then the good samaritan appeared. He lived across the street. The picnickers appealed to him for help. He harnessed his team, procured a long chain and after a long pull in the mud and rain succeeded in drawing the wagon from the ditch and righting it. He helped the once merry party load their impedimenta and then suggested compensation. "What?" the party cried in chorus. "I think the time of myself and team is worth something, here in the middle of a rainy night," the samaritan said. "Go to grass," is a free translation of the picnickers' individual and collective replies as they clambered into their wagon and drove away. The samaritan thought a great deal and said a few things. Then he saw a keg of beer lying in the ditch which had been overlooked by its owners. "Virtue is its own reward," he quoted, and added, "But the keg of beer will help some." He fastened a chain about the keg and hitching his team to it drove to his barn. Man and His Ways Ask any hostess who is sensible-minded, and who wishes to entertain in a rational manner, what she thinks of the manners of the men who come to her dinner-dance parties, says a writer in the London World. She will tell you that they are absolutely casual, that they will often throw her over at the last moment if they get what they fancy is a better offer, that they think nothing of keeping a whole dinner party waiting for half an hour after the appointed time, that their demeanor and bearing seem to imply that they have done a great favor in coming at all, and that in many cases, when they get to the dance, they ignore the daughters of the house at which they have dined altogether, unless they happen to be in their particular set. These, one may say, are the lighter accusations that are daily being brought against the spoiled young men of fashion. But there are others, and more unpleasant. Ask some really nice girl—and there are some in London, even in these days of bad influences—what the conversation of her dance partners is like. She will divide them into three classes—the idiotic, the really good fellows, and those whom you must pretend not to hear or not to understand when they talk to you. It is a most regrettable reflection that this third class has decidedly increased in the last few years. It Didn't Work. Three couple, husbands and wives, of the highest repute, dined at a New York city hotel a few evenings since, and the host and his wife directed that the coffee be sent to their rooms. This was done, and the waiter, calling later for the cups, saucers and spoons, found that three of the spoons were missing. He reported the matter to the manager, who quickly made a demand for the return of the three spoons. The host and hostess were greatly embarrassed, and you may imagine the feelings of their guests, but the manager was obdurate. A little search disclosed the missing spoons beneath the table. The host and hostess on the following day protested in vigorous terms to the owners of the hotel, and got this reply: "Sorry, Indeed, very sorry you were embarrassed, but we stand by our manager. We don't dispute your word, but we would rather have you leave the hotel than criticise him. He knows that every year we are compelled to mark off in profit and loss fully $25,000 which represents silver and almost every known article under the sun stolen by guests from this hotel." Mirrors as Detectives. "It is not solely to please the lady patrons," said an interior decorator, "that mirrors so abound in shops. They serve another and a more important purpose. They detect shoplifters. "If you should study the various watchers in the employ of big retail stores, you would find that they don't watch the patrons directly. They watch their reflections in the mirrors. "Of course, their watching, done that way, is unperceived. The shoplifter glances at the watcher, sees that his back is to her, and secretes a pair of silk stockings in her blouse. "Alas, the next moment she feels an unfriendly and terrifying tap on the shoulder, and the watcher, who has caught her by the mirror's aid, bids her sternly to accompany him to the office." Not Appreciated. "Do you keep anything from your wife?" "Well," answered Mr. Meekton, "I try to tell her everything. But she finds my conversation so dull that she generally goes to sleep before I am half through." CARING FOR PLANTS THINGS THE AMATEUR GARDEN- ER SHOULD KNOW. Keeping Plants in Health and Beauty More a Matter of Watchfulness Than Expense—Pests to Contend with. The yellow day lily is a hardy plant, that, while found in old gardens, is comparatively rare in new ones. It deserves general cultivation. The flowers are borne very freely and flowering is continued for a very long period. The flowers are of a clear canary yellow. Its foliage is very luxuriant and on this account alone is well worth growing. It should be disturbed as little as possible. Propagation is affected by division of the roots. There is no difficulty attending the cultivation of this most delightful plant. Give it a rich soil and keep it free from weeds. To this plant age has brought only added value and beauty. One of the most delightful of flowering plants is the jasmine revolutum. It bears small clusters of starry flowers of a rich yellow and these are full of a very rich, heavy fragrance of a peculiar kind. Its foliage is a dark green, and furnishes a pleasing background for the flowers. To grow it well give a loamy soil in which there is sand enough to make it light, and to make it rich. Water freely while growing and blooming. It also likes plenty of sunshine. It can be trained about the window, or to the rafters of a greenhouse and is most effective. It grows with jasmine grandiflorum, which is much like it in all respects save that of color, the latter being pure white and thus a fine effect is produced—an effect worth striving for. There is no plant more subject to the green fly than the cinerraria. If there is one about the place it is sure to find one of these plants, and in a short time they will be completely covered with the pests. If the plant is not attended to at once it will begin to show yellow leaves and in a short time the plant will be ruined. Nothing is so effective in ridding the plants of the pests as is fumigation with tobacco leaves. It is sometimes a bother to fumigate plants, but still if you love the flowers you will be willing to put yourself to some trouble for them. Cooking Lamb. Throw it into boiling water for five minutes and drain. Put in a stewpan a piece of butter the size of an egg and place on the fire. When melted mix in it one tablespoonful of flour, after which pour in, little by little, a pint and a half of boiling water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Put the meat in the pan and four small onions, a bay leaf, two cloves, three sprigs of parsley, two of thyme, salt and pepper. About 15 minutes before it is done add two or three mushrooms cut in slices. Take from the fire when cooked. Place the meat on a dish with the mushrooms and onions around, or, if preferred, without either. Strain the sauce over the meat, and serve. Cocoanut Cakes. Beat three tablespoonfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of sugar to a cream, then add two well-beaten eggs very gradually, add three tablespoonfuls of chopped cocoanut and sift in three tablespoonfuls of flour beaten thoroughly. Butter and flour some small gem pans and nearly fill with the mixture. Bake for 15 minutes in a slow oven, turn out and cool. Boll in a clean saucepan two tablespoonfuls of jam or jelly, two tablespoonfuls of water and two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar for 15 minutes; remove from the fire brush the cakes over with this and sprinkle chopped cocoanut all over them. Gelatine of Veal. Bone the meat in a piece of the shoulder of veal and remove all gristle. Mix three-quarters of a pound of sausage meat with a scant half pound of bread crumbs, season highly with salt and pepper, and bind together with one beaten egg. Put this in the center of the veal, tie it firmly together, put it into a deep saucepan with a bay leaf, a few peppercorns and a pinch of thyme, cover with water, and let simmer for two hours. When thoroughly cooked take the veal out of the broth, and when cold remove the string. Baked Beets. Many old-fashioned cooks like the English way of baking beets instead of boiling. They claim they preserve their natural sweetness better when baken. Wash well, but do not break the skin. Put into a baking tin with a little hot water thrown over them. When tender, peel, slice and serve with oil and lemon juice, pepper and salt, or butter, pepper and salt. Boiled beets are fine chilled, sliced with celery, and covered with mayonnaise. Candied Pineapple Peel and slice a pineapple, cutting out the eyes. Weigh the fruit, and allow a pound and a half of sugar for each pound of fruit. Put fruit and sugar into the preserving kettle and add a very little water. Boil until the pineapple is tender, take from the sirup and spread on a platter to cool, while you boil the sirup until very thick. Return the pineapple to the sirup, stir for a few minutes, then spread the fruit on platters until dry and candied. A) Wy : CITY NEWS. y a Ty J. W. Jackeon bas gone out of the shoe business. E. B.

On account of the rainy weather the people were slow gath- ering, but finally a very apprecia- tive gathering was witnessed. The people listened to an address by Father O’Ryan of St. Leo’s Catholic church. It was in reality alecture, frequently interrupted with enthusiastic applause. The speaker evidently spoke from the heart, as ever thought appealed to his hesrers, His subject, “Know what todo and do it,” was like a huge octupus each of whose many arms presented many other sub- jects. He spoke about the neces- sity of originality with any race struggling beneath oppression. He said a civilization not founded upon loyalty to God was insignifi- cant. He dwelt sometime upon ‘the importance of such an organi- vation as the People’s Sunday Al- liance, He quoted history like a historian; taught lessons like a philospher; ave advice like a friend; and, in short, he brought good tidings as some expected missionary. And the greatest consolation of all Father O’Ryan’s address is, that he promised at some future time to give thema lecture. Local Notices.

How Refrigerator Car Bulit Up a Trade the Trust Ruined. “To produce beef that will stand re- frigerating and long carrying,” writes Mr. Russell in the May installment of “The Greates" Treet in the World” tn Everybody's maxasine, “cattle must be fed on food that eontains certain flesh-making elements, In some parte ef the country there grows what is called ‘short grass,’ which has all the fequired nutrition. But the supply of ‘short grass’ cattle is not sufficient The only other food that will make the quality of beef roquisite for re frigeration purposes is corn. Hence im the great corn belt of the west (Missourl, Iowa, southern Minnesota, South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, east- ern Kansas) the practice came to be this: The farmer bought from the western ranges In western Nebraska and Coiorado range cattle that had been matured on common grass, took them to his farm and fed them on corn for six or eight months. When ‘they iad been suMctently ‘finished’ ‘on corn they were shipped to be slaugh tered. Statictica of Medical Students.

Wild Bill Williams, a white man who had been a terror to the community be- cause he was operating a very large business in open defiance to the lead- ing citizens, was the man the officers sought, but this time, as on many other occasions, instead of fighting with h‘s reputed steel jacket bullets, he dodged into the weeds and left his still, warm from the fires of four months, to be demolished. ‘Wild Bill has never been captured but once. He has been a professional moonshiner for years. Frank Riley, one of the deputies who has been tnis: long time in search of the man, man- aged once to locate him and he was brought into court. For some reason Wild Bill braved the circumstances and came to Macon. The deputy caught sight of him and there was a race for life. The supposed outlaw had mo weap- on of defense upon him save a barlow knife, and trusted to his feet to save him. With half an hour spent in dodg- ing corners and climbing over and under freight cars in railway yards, the deputy outran Williams and stop- ped him in a struggle which lasted long enough to exbaust both men. Judge Emory Speen placed him under $600 bond, and as soon as a bonds- man was secured the still operator was out again stirring cane beer and sour mash in his native haunts. A constant effort has been made by United States Marshal George White and his force of deputies to locate this man, but twice within the last -six months have the officers destroyed large outfits without capturing the operator. The next information coming from this refiner of spirits was that which led the officers into the woods near Oconee. With rifles and revolvers they crept through the spot where the outfit was in operation and were fore- ed to smash it without having captur- ed a single person. ‘But since that: time plans have been made which, it is believed, will result in bringing the man to answer, Reports 4p hesd- quarters and recommendatio®® foliow- ing have put the officers to new ruses, but Williams is at present beyond their reach. ‘The man who {s so badly wanted is umuarried. He has no regular habits other than the one determination to ‘operate a distillery. He is a wanderer and shows up always in the spot where he is least expected. He looks to be a brave man, is a good example of the backwoods type and is friendly and polite as the most refined. His: life is more adventurous than that of the officers who search for him in ‘swamp and woods with rifles im hand, for although it would be a prison life of severity were he captured he wonld not injure his fellow man. The strik- ing characteristic is his firm belief in his profession as a harmless voca- tlon.—Atlanta Constitution. Farms of Sweet Peas. Sweet peas have 86 divisions and some 300 subdivisions. In California. where almost all the flower seeds are grown, one farm of 500 acres is given up to the production of sweet peas alone. The total production yearly is about 350,000 pounds, and even when this amount is augmented by the yield from smaller farms it is almost in possible to meet the demand. Sweet peas are the most popular flowers. in America for home gardens. except the nasturtiums, and even these cannot always compete with the sweet peas. Where country air and sunshine abound sweet peas hold unrivaled su- premacy, and nasturtiums are in use for window boxes and scant little city gardens, where a small back yard must do duty for a flower lover.—Los Angeles Times.

That's Always Good TER'S Denver J. H. WEIICHHAND Denver, Cola HOW TO GET LAND METHOD OF SECURING LAND UNDER THE CAREY ACT. THOUSANDS OF ACRES OPEN Colorado State Commercial Association Compiles Facts for Benefit of Prospective Settlers. Scores of inquiries concerning the method of securing land under the Carey act have been received by the Colorado State Commercial Association from farmers in the farming belts of the Middle West and East. Each letter asks practically the same question, "How much money is necessary to take up land under this act, and how many acres are there left?" Full information has been requested concerning the workings of the act, and, for the benefit of many, even in our own state of Colorado, who do not know the provisions of the act, it has been compiled in brief form. By an act of Congress, approved August 18, 1894, the secretary of the Interior, with the approval of the President of the United States, was given the power to contract and agree to patent to states having desert lands within their boundaries, tracts not to exceed 1,000,000 acres of such land under certain conditions. This act, known as the Carey act, has been one of the greatest factors in the upbuilding of the West during the past ten years. Colorado settlers have not yet benefited to any very great extent by this act, as but very few thousand acres of land have thus far been taken up under the provisions of this act, which was accepted by the Tenth Colorado Legislature March 15, 1895. The ordinary homeseekers' plats and semi-arid lands do not come under the head of desert lands, rs, to gain absolute patent to these, it is not necessary to place the land under irrigating ditches as well as under cultivation, as in the case of desert lands. The Carey act was passed entirely for the purpose of impressing people with the wonderful possibilities of desert lands when properly irrigated. It has fulfilled its purpose, and within the next few years Colorado will have received patents for its total allotment of 1,000,000 acres. Apply to State Officials. Under the statutes of Colorado the selection, management and disposal of this desert land is vested in the State Board of Land Commissioners. Therefore all applications for such desert land under the Carey act must be made to the secretary of that board, or to the Colorado state engineer. Any person, company of persons, associations or incorporated companies are entitled to all the benefits under the act, providing they desire to construct reservoirs, canals, ditches or other irrigation works with which to reclaim the lands. In such cases a request for the selection of certain lands is filed with the board, the land being designated by the usual legal subdivisions. The state engineer's office is then called upon to investigate the land to be located and also to investigate the status of the persons making the request. The source of the water supply, the place of diversion, the place of storage, the length of the irrigating system and the cost of the system, all have to be put in the request and must be accompanied by a certified check of not less than $250 and not more than $2,500 to assure the carrying out of the project. The proposed carrying capacity of the ditch and the terms and price at which the perpetual water rights will be sold to settlers on the land reclaimed, this perpetual right to embrace a proportionate concurrent interest in the system, must also be stated in the request for location and must be carried out to the letter. Individuals, as well as companies or corporations, may enter upon and reclaim this land singly or acting jointly. Under the statutes the State Board of Land Commissioners has made rules consistent with the laws of the United States, whereby the individual settlers are allowed the acquirement of individual water rights for specific tracts of land, not to exceed 160 acres for each individual. Individuals, as well as corporate interests, must deposit with the land commissioners certified checks for the amount specified by the commissioners when the request is granted. This is forfeited if the parties fail to fulfill their contract with the state. Must File the Plans. Maps of the lands, water rights, etc., which are requested must be filled with the state engineer at the time of the request, to enable that office to facilitate the looking up of the rights and title in the land. After it is determined whether or not the request complies with the rules of the board and the regulations of the Department of the Interior, it is either returned for correction or, if correct in its terms, is sent to the state engineer for examination. He shall determine whether or not the proposed works are feasible, whether or not sufficient water can be secured to reclaim the land requested, and whether or not the lands described are desert in character and may be set aside under the law, and shall so report to the land commissioners. In case the report is adverse, the parties making the request are allowed from sixty days to six months, according to the ruling of the board, in which to file another proposal. The board having acted upon a favorable report of the state engineer, the contract between the state and the parties is drawn up and signed and a bond of five per cent. of the total cost of the irrigating system filed. Then the land is ready for entry. Work must be begun on the irrigation works within six months from the date of the signing of the contract and at least one-tenth of the construction work must be completed within two years. Under the statutes no such contract for the construction of an irrigation system can be made if it is known that the work will take more than five years, and a cessation of work for a period of six months or more shall render the contract void on the part of the contracting parties, the state then having a right to dispose of the uncompleted project to the highest bidder, thereby entering into a new contract with the buyers. Persons making application for the land under this act must do so for the purpose of actual reclamation, cultivation and settlement, and must pay the nominal sum of 50 cents an acre for the land, half to be paid at time of entry and half at time of proof of settlement and reclamation. Proofs of Reclamation. Another condition imposed upon those taking up land under this act is that within one year after the notification of a settler that irrigation works are completed and water is ready to be furnished his land, the settler shall reclaim not less than one-sixteenth of the land filed upon, and within two years the settler must have actually irrigated and, cultivated not less than one-eighth of the land filed upon. This being done, the settler can then, within three years of the time water was first ready to turn upon his land for cultivating purposes, make final proof of reclamation, cultivation and settlement upon at least one-eighth of the land he has filed upon. When this proof, and any other required by the board, is made before a notary public, justice of the peace, or justice of a District Court, the depositions of principals and witnesses are sent to the State Board of Land Commissioners for approval and, if approved by the board, claim for a patent to the entire plat of land is sent to the Department of the Interior. When this patent returns the land, then becomes the property of the settler. As yet there have been no lands patented in Colorado under this law, although several requests for such lands are on file in the State Board of Land Commissioners' office, and many settlers are now complying with the conditions of the statutes in order to realize the benefits of the act. The largest project of this kind now on foot is that of the Routt County Development Company, which has built a large reservoir and canal in Little Snake River valley, in Routt county. Some 50,000 acres of this rich land are to be opened under this act in the fall, and within the next two years at least 6,000 acres of the land will be under cultivation. Within three years the land and irrigation system will be owned by the settlers who take up the land there. Proposals for reclamation projects in San Luis valley, Weld, Morgan and Fremont counties have been received recently by the board and have been favorably acted upon. These projects assure the taking up of hundreds of thousands of acres of land under this act within the near future. The full scope of the act has not been commonly understood by the people at large until recently, and it is only within the past year or two that such projects have been taken up generally by capitalists here and elsewhere. Routt County Land To Be Opened. Routt County Land To Be Opened. Denver.—Colorado's first opening of land under the Carey act will take place September 5th. At a meeting of the State Land Board recently the board formally decided on this date as the time when the Little Snake river valley will be thrown open. This tract comprises 50,000 acres of land and is being irrigated by a large canal system now in course of construction. The land is from within fifteen to twenty-five miles of the established surveys of the Moffat road and is about fifty miles from the Union Pacific. It is in the heart of Routt county and is principally agricultural. Tracts of 40, 80, 120 or 160 acres will be sold under the Carey act to citizens of the United States. These tracts can be secured by the payment of 50 cents an acre to the state, and the purchase of water rights from the canal company. The price of the water rights has been fixed by the state at $25 an acre, one-fifth of which, or $5 per acre, is to be paid down, the balance to run a term of years at six per cent. interest. One-half of the 50c due the state is to be paid when the selection of the land is filed with the State Land Board and the remainder when one-eighth of the land has been reclaimed and patent applied for. The land is an irregular tract from one to six miles in width and extends from a point below Baggs, Wyoming, on the Colorado-Wyoming state line, to a point just above Lay, Colorado. The upper end of the tract is about sixty miles from Rawlins, Wyoming, and the lower part is from fifteen to twenty-five miles from the line of the Moffat road. Helped Blaze the Way. Laramie, Wyo.—James Vine, father of Mrs. Theodore Tregoning of this place, and Mrs. Earl Harris and Miss Alice Vine of Denver, died at Riverton, Wyoming, July 31st. The remains were taken to Denver for interment. Vine came to Laramie May 5, 1868, from Fort Sanders, when there were only tents here, and engaged in the carpenter business, later starting a furniture store. About eight years ago he removed to Denver and engaged in the real estate business, two years ago going to the new town of Riverton, where he became justice of the peace and was a member of the commission to formulate a charter for the town. He was mayor of Laramie for one term and at the time of his death was justice at Riverton. Mr. Vine was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. He joined the Odd Fellows' lodge here, but had withdrawn to become a charter member of the lodge at Riverton, which will be instituted in a few days. Montrose Will Have. Another Turn. Montrose, Colo.—The Chautauqua which closed here on Sunday night proved to be such a success that prior to the departure of A. J. Heskett, the manager, arrangements were made to hold an assembly here again next year and a contract was entered into. This Chautauqua was the only one on the western slope and many people came from other towns and camped during the entire session. THE MILK MACHINE COTTRELL'S PHARMACY DR. W. J.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most officious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrh diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics. Painter If one is rich enough to repaint his buildings every year for the pleasure of having a change of color scheme, the quality of the paint used may cut little figure. But if it is desirable to cut the painting bills down to the least amount possible per year, it is of the utmost importance that the paint be made of Pure White Lead and the best of Linseed Oil. There are imitations in the form of alleged White Lead, and there are substitutes in the form of ready-prepared paints. We guarantee our White Lead to be absolutely pure, and the Dutch Boy on the side of every key is your safe-guard. Look for him.

TELE: 811-222-2222 BANK ORCHARD BACKS STARTLING ASSERTION · MADE THAT HE WILL REPUIATE CONFESSION. ATTORNEYS TO DEFEND HIM He Will Bring Suit to Regain the Hercules Mine in Name of Wife and Daughter. Boise, Idaho.—Harry Orchard will repudiate his confession and be defended by the firm of Root & Breen of Butte when he is arraigned for trial in the District Court of Canyon county at Caldwell for the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg. This startling assertion was made by men close to the Moyer-Haywood-Pettibone defense, and circumstances indicate almost beyond doubt its truth. Peter Breen of the Butte law firm received a telegram from his partner Root, saying he had returned from Canada, where he consulted with Orchard's wife, and that suit would immediately be instituted for the restoration of the sixteenth interest in the Hercules mine, sold by Orchard to Dan Cardoner, to Orchard's estate. Orchard's wife and nine-year-old daughter will be plaintiffs in the civil action to be instituted at once in Shoshone county for the recovery of the property, now valued at $500,000. On what grounds the suit will be based is not definitely known, but it is understood it will be maintained that Orchard merely mortgaged the property to Cardoner for $400. On the witness stand Orchard testified that he sold his interest outright. It has been pointed out to him if the suit to be brought by his wife and daughter is successful it will be necessary for him to repudiate that portion of his confession. When informed of this situation Orchard is reported to have said: "I will repudiate all of it." Certain it is that he has given his indorsement to the proceedings at Wallace, and that Mr. Breen, one of Haywood's counsel, is to represent the interests of the Orchard family. For more than an hour William D. Haywood talked with Thomas B. Gress, foreman of the jury which acquitted him. Haywood called at the Gress home for the purpose of again expressing through the foreman his thanks to the entire jury, and in spite of the fact that Mr. Gress was one of the three who voted "guilty" on the first ballot, he cordially welcomed the federation leader and they talked over the case and many features of the long trial. Most of the forenoon today Haywood spent in the offices of the defense attorneys, where he read newspaper reports and comments on the verdict. Moyer Comes to Denver. Bolse, Idaho.—Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, has been released from the Ada county jail on a bond of $25,000 signed by Timothy Reagan and Thomas J. Jones of Bolse. Moyer will leave for Salt Lake City at once, in company with William D. Haywood, who on Sunday was acquitted of the murder of former Governor Steuenberg. After a stop of a few hours in Salt Lake City, they will proceed to Denver, the headquarters of the federation. Dr. I. J. McGee of Wallace, Idaho, charged with perjury in the Haywood case, had a hearing in the Probate Court and was bound over for trial on his own recognition. Dr. McGee said that Harry Orchard was in Wallace in August, 1904. Orchard was a witness against him and declared he was not in Idaho at the time mentioned. Steve Adams, who was expected to be an important witness at the trial, but who was not called by either side, was taken back to Wallace to await a second trial on the charge of murder there. His first trial resulted in a disagreement. Formal application has been made in the District Court to have George A. Pettibone admitted to bail. The motion was submitted without argument and was promptly denied by Judge Wood. Icelanders a Free People. Reyjavik, Iceland.—At a banquet given in his honor, King Frederick of Denmark announced his policy regarding the future relations between the Danish crown and Iceland. "I have inherited the kingdom as a unit," said King Frederick, "and as such it shall remain from generation to generation, but I have also inherited from my father the tradition that the Icelanders are to be a free people, who co-operate with the King in framing the laws under which they are to live. I have, therefore, established a commission, consisting of members of the Danish Rigsdag and the Icelandic Althing, to arrange for legislation to define the constitutional position of Iceland in the realm and to find a form under which the freedom of Iceland may be built up and protected while at the same time the unity of the realm is preserved and insured."

Thomas have leased from the Union Pacific Coal Company a valuable tract of coal land near No. 4 mine at Almy, a coal camp near this city, and are already at work in the opening up of a new coal camp at that place. This coal is of the highest grade and arrangements have been made to install machinery at once for the production of 500 tons of coal a day. The great demand for coal in the West is resulting in the opening of new mines all through southern Wyoming. The Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron Company, now operating at Almy, has opened two mines and is preparing to open two more collieries. This will make five big mines in operation at that place. A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS. A Dreadful Operation Seemed to Be the Only Outcome. Mrs. Clyde Pixley, Bridge St., Belding, Mich., writes: "I had inflammation of the bladder and the trouble had gone so far in five years that my physicians said nothing but an operation would cure me. Awful bearing down pains, backaches and headaches tortured me, there of the blac der and the trouble had gone so far in five years that my physicians said nothing but an operation would cure me. Awful bearing down pains, backaches and headaches tortured me, there were spells of dizziness and faintness, the kidney secretions were like blood and passed with intense pain. I had lost 30 pounds when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and was dreadfully nervous. In one week I felt better and to-day I am a well woman and have been for a long time."

Patrick, recently arrived and unused to the ways of this country, was accosted one day by a member of the sporting fraternity, who offered to impart to him, for a modest consideration, a marvelous way to make money without toiling for it. All one needed, he said, was a small amount to bet on a certain horse that couldn't possibly lose. "And yez say Oi can get that money without working for it?" asked the bewildered Irishman, when the other was through explaining, "Sure thing. All the work you got to do is to count the mazuma." "Ill thry it," said Pat. So they hied them to a racecourse, where the sporty-looking gentleman placed Pat's money at oids of five to one. And the horse won! Pat's joy was unbounded when he was handed a large roll of yellow-backed bills. Calling his new-found friend to one side, he asked in a voice that trembled with excitement: "Oi say, how long has this thing been gain' on?" Good for Fishermen's "Balt." The remarkable heat-insulating effect of a vacuum is strikingly brought out in the claims made for a new sportsman's bottle. The vessel has double walls, being really one bottle within another, with a sealed-up intervening space from which the air has been withdrawn. It is asserted that liquids in this bottle can be kept hot 48 hours in the coldest weather, and that inced beverages will retain their delicious coolness for weeks in the hottest summer. Strange Bequests. In his will Stephen Swain of the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, England, gave to John Abbot and Mary, his wife, sixpence each, "to buy for each of them a halter, for fear the sheriffs should not be provided." John Aylett Stow left the sum of five guineas for the purchase of the picture of a viper biting the hand of his rescuer, to be presented to an eminent K. C. as a reminder of "his ingratitude and insolence." When women have been deceived by men, they wish to marry them. This is as good as any other kind of revenge.—Beaumanoir. "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually served, remain a pasty, indigestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stomach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomachs of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. (Children and adults obtain fine results from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and so easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babes being fed very successfully on it. "There's a Reason."

These views will be placed in the depots of prominent cities along eastern railroads to advertise Trinidad and invite visitors. Three young men, Cameron, Leavitt and Winsell, were arrested at Lamar, charged with breaking into Santa Fe cars and stealing merchandise July 16th. The court discharged them at that time but the sheriff rearrested them upon presentation of new evidence and they were taken to Holly for trial. Albert Hepburger, a teamster, while coming down Gregory gulch, at Black Hawk, with a heavy load of ore, had his leg broken at the ankle by the upsetting of the wagon. The brake broke, throwing the team, wagon and driver into the gulch, but the horses escaped injury. Hepburger managed to jump and escaped more serious injury. The El Paso County Horticultural society held a meeting recently at Colorado Springs at which the woman's advisory board appointed committees for the annual flower show to be held next month.

Blatt, who lives about ten miles east of Boulder, says black rust has gotten into the wheat and is doing much damage. It is feared one-half of the late crop has been ruined. No farmer in this county remembers of ever having seen any indications of black rust in this state, although the red rust has at times done much damage. John Klenst, aged thirty-two, a top man employed at the Gold Coin shaft of the Granite Gold Mining Company, was crushed to death recently. While taking off a loaded car, the cage slipped and Klenst was caught between the cage and the shaft timbers and carried twenty feet before the engineer could apply the brakes. He leaves a wildow and one young child. Never before in the history of Weld county have reservoirs, after having been drawn upon for several weeks, been full at this season, as is now the case. The recent prolonged heavy rains have filled the reservoirs in Northern Colorado, and the Platte, Big Thompson and Poudre rivers are higher than a month ago, during flood waters. There will be no shortage of water for irrigation. The directors of the North Sterling irrigation district recently met and canvassed the vote on the question of issuing bonds for $1,400,000 for the construction of the Glendale and Point of Rock reservoirs, with inlet and outlet ditches. The district contains about 70,000 acres of land, which will be reclaimed by this system. The vote was unanimous in favor of the bonds and they will be issued at once. The dead body of Joseph Huffman, a war veteran, aged about seventy, was recently discovered in a cabin in the summit of Gold hill, near Cripple Creek, by William Ware, a prospector, who had gone to the cabin for a drink of water. Huffman had not been seen for several days, and the body was badly decomposed. Little is known of the old soldier, but he is believed to have been a member of the G. A. R. post at Boulder. An investigation is being made. O. K. Packer, chief engineer for the Beaver Land and Water Company, has returned from Los Angeles with the announcement that he is ready to begin work on the Brush Hollow creek dam, five miles from Florence. The company will soon advertise for bids for excavation work for the dam, which will be built on the site of the old Wolcott dam, constructed twntty-five years ago. Manager J. Q. MacDonald says the company has most of its plans completed, and there should be no further delay in starting this great irrigation project, which is destined to bring 20,000 acres of arid land under irrigation on the mesa north of Florence and extending toward Pueblo. The Woodmen of the World camp of Golden has decided to incorporate as a building association and enlarge the building it now occupies to more than double its present size. The property is owned by Stewart & Lewis and the Woodmen will do the remodeling for an undivided one-half interest, they to have full control and all revenues from the upper floor, while Stewart & Lewis will have the same rights with the ground floor. The capital stock will be $7,500, divided into 300 shares of $25 each, and this amount will be sufficient to complete the building and furnish it. The association will be incorporated by Judge Charles McCall, A. C. Pattee, J. C. Devlon, A. W. Armstrong and H. H. Miller, who will be the directors for the first year.

The hat embraces the hair as though passionately attached to ft, and the general effect {s wonderfully attrac- tive. While on the subject of mil- linery I must not neglect to speak of the new—and especially charming— idea of mixing white and black laces on hat crowns. At a recent musical reception I saw a beautiful woman wearing a Tuscan cloche which boast- ed a full crown of ivory point d’esprit {nset with motifs of black Maltese lace. These motifs were circular and of extremely delicate design, and the Jace crown was mounted on silver tulle. On the left side of the hat there were several branches of vivid scarlet japonica. But now that summer {fs coming to its full splendor we are giving the large cloche hat a well-deserved rest and are turning our appreciative at- tention to the close-fitting mushroom. It is, in fact, distinctly an “open-air hat,” and it looks best when very simply trimmed with immense choux of Pompadour ribbons at elther side, or with quillings which completely hide the crown. It is my impression-that the time has come to call “halt” in the aftairs of filet laces! I do not, for the mo- ment ,deny the effectiveness of these laces, but it seems carrying the mat- ter too far to make nine out of every ten women look as though they had taken down the best curtains from their windows and draped them round their graceful selves! Of course, “Fashion” must always be omnipotent, but even Fashion cannot blind our eyes to the fact that filet lace is really suitable as a trimming for curtains and afternoon tea cloths, and for that purpose only. Nowadays we introduce {t on our summer frocks, and undoubt- edly it is effective, but we can easily have too much of it, and that is why I suggest that “halt” should be called, otherwise we shall haye an epidemic to filet lace at the plages in close con- nection with white linen and embroid- ered muslin, It is a thousand pities that It should be so difficult to accept a new mode in moderation. Everything novel and original {s run to death, and this seems inevitable. A most effective costume of the very latest boasts a skirt cut on the cross made of buff and white stripes, a little coat of buff colored cloth displaying facings of white cloth bound with black silk piped with cherry color and white. In front of this from neck to bust appears a double-frilled lawn shirt; that double-frilled lawn shirt, I realize, is immensely popular, so pop- ular, indeed, that you may buy the double frill “all alone by itself” ana attach {t to any old shirt, when you may confidently rely upon its’ passing muster as new. The frills are usually made of white lawn, hemstitched; oth- ers, too, there are of spotted’ batiste, and others again of striped muslin. Which reminds me that amongst the new plain white gowns are some made of white muslin with a narrow-corded stripe or check in it, very like those which obtained some 20 years ago. Alas! that J gan remember! ‘As to the gowns displayed in our large illustration. The one on the right displays a dress of rose pink yoile with trimmings of filet net, adorned with flowers embroidered in floss silk, filet net with floss silk em- broidery being amongst the extrava- gant novelties of the moment. Fanci. ful white net and Ince make the vest smd under bodice, the outlining banda being of soft pink satin, while the hat is of pink straw covered with flowers of various shades of pink and mauve. Amongst many embrolderies worthy of notice are those which show thick gold and silver tinsel combined with floss silk designs interspersed with clous made of iridescent kid. The like mounted on gray or blue net) lined with silver tissue is amongst the luxu- ries of the rich, and may certainly be quoted as an example of what modern handiwork can do in alliance, with modern prodigality. The other sketch filustrates the popular. short-waisted bodice, and thts dress if of Shantung silk in chestnut brown with the embroidery in ments) colors, the narrow vest being trac with gold and the yoke and sleeves of fine net. The hat is of brown chip with a single crimson rose concealing .the stem of a shaded brown ostrich feather of superior detail. The Shantung silks are really « great success, but they should be sternly avoided in black; many at Ge. hes ||| | af jist Robe of Blue Linen, with Embroid- eries of Clematis Flowers in a Darker Shade of Blue. tempts have been made to induce them to take this somber tone, but they refuse, coming out in white streaks, and often assuming a green- ish shade, preeminently unattractive. But in such colors as blue and pink and mauve, Shantung silk is quite de- lightful. Its most conspicuous rival is silken linen, coarse-fbered and goft, ‘and a beautiful costume I have, Just finished admiring is made in a bright shade of mauve with a short-waisted bodice of kimono outline, showing a small belt of Bulgarian embroidery in the front of the waist and at the back, while the undersleeves and bodice are of finely spotted net. The hat selected to wear with this, need- less to say of the mushroom shape, is made in mauve crinoline bound with mauve velvet, with a great bunch of wild. mauye and blue heron’s feathers at one side. ; Rule for Success, Epictetus: Appear to know only this—never to fail nor fall, $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 You Know Our Price ———— For [ 2 5) NOMORE| “For 4 aa | Men | eo” NOLESS | Women | Over 200 Styles of Women’s Shoes. and Oxfords and 170 Styles of Men’s Shoes and Oxfords.

TRY THIS FOR DESSERT. - Cocoa Macaroong Will Be Appreciated by All Who Partake, —- -9 Pass through a gieye together, one cup of aitted foe, Watt a cup of granulated sugar, two level table- spoonfuls of cocoa, half a teaspoon- ful of baking powder, one-fourth a tea- spoonful each of salt and’ cinnamon, and one-eighth a teaspoonful each of cloves, mace and nutmeg; with these mix the grated rind of an orange and one-fourth a cup of fine-chopped cit- ron. Break one egg and the yolk or white of another into the mixture, add also a teaspoonful of vanilla ex. tract and mix the whole to a stiff dough. With buttered hands roll the mixture into balls about the size of hickory nuts, dip one side in granu- lated sugar and set some distance apart in buttered pans, the sugared side up. Bake in a quick oven. The recipe makes 18 macaroons, ‘To Clean Silk Gloves. Do not try to clean silk gloves with gasoline, but wash them very care- fully. White and black ones can be washed in soap suds, rinsed and dried, the white ones being dipped into blu- ing water to give them a clear white appearance. Tinted gloves should first be soaked in salt water to prevent the color from fading. If a few drops of lemon juice are added to the rinsing water, the tints will be revived. Silk gloves can be ironed, though a plece of linen should be placed over the gloves when they are froned and only @ moderately warm iron should be used. Silk hose can be washed in exactly the same manner and ironed when perfectly ary. , Walnut Wine. To a gallon of water put two pounds of brown sugar and one pound of honey, boil this mixture for half an hour, carefully removing all scum; put into a tub a large handful of wal- nut leaves and pour the hot liquor upon them; let them stand a night and then squeeze out the leaves and put in two yeast cakes; let it work for a week, stirring four or five times a day, then stop up the cask and let stand six months. This is a supposed remedy for consumption and, as it is quaintly termed, “all inward com. plaints.” Filling for Cream Puffs. Wet three tablespoonfuls of flour to 8 paste with a little cold water and stir into a cupful of hot milk. Boll for a minute, stirring to prevent lumps, take from the fire and pour, gradually, upon three beaten eggs and a half-cup of powdered sugar, whipping these all the time. Stir over the fire until thick and smooth, remove, flavor with vanil- Ja, and, when cold, put into the puffs. Pudding Sauce, Warm in a saucepan a quarter pint of milk. Mix a dessertspoonful of cornstarch with a little milk and stir this into the milk in the saucepan. Continue stirring until it bolls and is about as thick as cream, then add a a dessertspoonful of sugar and a small piece of butter. Pour this around a pudding just before serving. Fried Tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes into thick pleces and fry in butter until done, Transfer to a hot platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and keep hot while you add to the butter in which they were fried a tablespoonful of flour and a pint of milk, cook, etirring, to a smooth, white sauce and pour over the tomatoes. Bponce Cake. Weigh ten eggs, allow their welght in sugar, and half their welght in flour. Beat the whites and yolks sep- arate, adding the sugar to the yolks with the julce and half the grated peel of a lemon, then the flour, folding in at the last the stiffened whites. Bake at once in a loaf-tin in a steady oven. German Flour Soup. Cook together in a frying pan a tablespoonful of shortening and flour, and when well blended add a sliced or minced onion; fry this to a golden brown, then stir in five cups of souy stock or warm water, stir until thick, pour upon a beaten egg and add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste, Bodkin Substitute.
