Negro gets promotion in Treasury Department: The Domostic Problem a Serious one in America. surely come. The problem of domestic service is one that in some form vexes a majority of American communities. It is a problem that is almost wholly unknown in other countries, probably for the reason that class divisions are usual and natural and are accepted as an essential part of the life of the country. Each citizen, high or low, rich or poor has his place in the general economy and it is fixed as unalterably as if by the laws of the Medes and Persians. Domestic science is there considered a necessity and highly respected institution. The people who recruit the ranks of domestic help, frequently succeed by inheritance to household posi-tin which have long been regarded as an especial right of the family. Long and honorable domestic service is there a kind of patent of respectability, which is thought and spoken of with pride and deemed worthy of the widest emulation. Now, how stands the case on this side the water? A strange contrast is presented to say the least. Not only is it considered demeaning to work in the family of another but it is known that almost any other means of livihood will be adopted to avoid such employment. A monents careful thought of this question will show how utterly foolish is the attitude of those who subscribe to and entertain these prejudices. The same conditions as to class do not obtain in this country where the aggregate is composed of equal individual atoms, which as Mr. Garfield once said "are rather like the drops of the ocean, where each is free to mingle with all others and may shine one day on the crest of the highest wave." The rapidity with which the condition of the individual changes in America is little short of marvelous. The waiter or yardman of twenty years ago is frequently the mauager or proprietor of the great hotels of today; the maid of all work but a little while ago reflects quite naturally the refinement of a former mistress and with perfect ease and charming grace is now become the center of a home circle of her own. The transition is so effective, so complete—the illusion is so satisfactory, that we almost doubt the fact, that we once knew VOL. XIII Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. Some one at the recent meeting of the Afro American Council talked of raising a million dollars to be used in fighting Jim Crow laws and the lynching evil. Now, that, seems an effort in the right direction—something really worth while Still, since it has required ten years to raise $10000, how long do you suppose it would take to get the Million and wont all the Negroes be white or near enough to 'pass' by that time? Among the large number promotions in the Treasury Department this month was one that deserves more than a passing notice, that of Wolsey W. Hall whose promotion to a $1000 salary shows what an ambitions young man may accomplish, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Mr. Hall is a native of this city and after graduating from the public schools received an appointment to a small place in the service at $500. Desiring to get ahead but being barred from taking an examination for a clerkship, by reason of not having a legal residence in one of the states, he applied himself dilligently to the study of stenography and type-writing. Zealous in the prosecution of his studies, he secured the services of several teachers and devoted all of his spare time to the study. A little more than a year ago he felt competent to enter to a competitive examination for stenography and typewriting, passed with a high average and a little later on received the offer of five different positions in the service, the salaries ranging from 700 to 1000 dollars. The latter offer came about two weeks ago and rather tna lose so competent an employe, the Department has just promoted him to that salary and so retains his services. Mr. Hall is assiduous in his attention to duty, possesses a superior mental equipment and is of attractive personal address. With these qualifications, a larger sphere of usefulness doubts s awaits him During the recent session of Congress he performed the duties of stenographer and typewriter to a prominent member of that body. Ability, application and integrity are the essentials without which recognition cannot be expected. Having these the opportunity will DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1907. State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, them in a very different station. So it is domestic service in America, it seems to us, should not be the thing of horror it is quite generally considered. The privileges enjoyed are rather on the increase and there are the solid comforts of the home which must of necessity be shared and the almost total freedom from expense, all of which combine, it would seem to make such places not only desirable, but a positive benefaction. This question, however, aside from its general importance, should have a peculiar interest for the Negro. Domestic service is the one field more largely occupied by him than any other. The influence for good accruing therefrom are probably second to no other. The benefits are substantial and the inspiration wholesome. It is noticed however that the calibre of those employed in domestic service has undergone an almost complete transformation. Especially is this true of the larger cities. The former old time servants with their traits of careful honesty, scrupulous neatness, pride in the knowledge and performance of their duty, scorn of shiftlessness and unfailing self respect are rapidly disappearing. A new and rather disappointing class is gradually taking their places. With these the need of the moment is the only consideration. Their own convenience the only thing to be consulted. The idea of thrift, of a future day, of a better position and more money, the ultimate comforts of a home of their own and the rewards of good citizenship, are considered with indifference or else wholly ignored. Complaints from house holders are continual and would seem to indicate that few domestic propositions are more difficult than that of securing even a tolerably good Negro servant. As a result this avenue of respectable and fairly reuumerative service is gradually being closed to Negroes in many parts of the country and their places taken by those of other races who are quick to discern the many advantages attached thereto—not the least of which is the facility with which they may graduate into some more congenial and independent occupation. As regards the question of accepting service with a respectable and well-to-do Negro family—such a thing is not to be thought of and wouldn't be considered for a moment by one percent of those who live by means of domestic service. The family may be ever so respectable or able to pay, but unless "Jane" is permitted a seat at table, allowed to receive her best fellow in the parlor and the boss solemnly promises to have the kitchen nice and warn by 7:30, there wont be no Jane. Not so long ago there was a fam- ily in which the wife was sick for several weeks. They were moderate, comfortable livers and accustomed to doing things for themselves. Everybody knows how everything gets muddled when the woman has to lie by, for while she is very often a competent substitute for the man, he is indeed a treasure, who can half way make good for the woman. Well, everything was being taken care of in this family except the family wash. A young lady from round in Happy Court had consented to help out. She came in time to eat her breakfast and remained till nearly three, but couldn't think of staying any longer. She "just never could wash tho' cuz it always give her dizziness." Finally a wash lady who made it a profession, said she wuz mighty sorry that she didn't know'dout it a little earlier and while she didn't make a practice uv washing for colored folks, she would agree to rough dry the things for a week or two. So she did and each Thursday night for several weeks, a poor delicate man might be seen shoving a great big iron over all sorts of curious things, until a long time after midnight. This domestic service question is indeed a very curious thing. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources.

The Times, a paper published by white men at Terrebonne, La., has the following to say on the Negro problem: Not the least difficult part of the Negro question is the white man's. If all the white men could be made to do right, it would not be so hard to manage the Negro. Let us get that truth very firmly fixed in our minds. It will help us very greatly in solving the Negro question, so far as we of this generation are able to solve it. What we mean is this: Stop the white man from filing the Negro with mean whisky, stop the white man from stealing from the Negro through so-called loans and exorbitant interest, stop the white man from overcharging the Negro at the stores, stop the white man from brutal treatment of Negro laborers, stop the white man from immoral relations with Negro women and you will have gone far toward solving the Negro problem. Sixty years for the South to be without a man in the White House is a pretty long time. It cannot be doubted that there are as smart men in the South as in any other part of our country, but the American people are not yet willing to place men in our highest positions simply because they are smart. The South as a whole will have to charge its attitude toward the Negro before men will be able to get the consent of their minds to place one of its number at the head of the nation, but the time is not yet. The South is not yet content to take the heel of oppression from the necks of her black citizens. The spirit of fair play does not yet obtain in our midst. White men as a rule will not hands off where there is a struggle between a white and a black man. There is no place is this section where they will not double team on a black man. The North has gotten beyond this stage of barbarity. They have spirit of fairness to hands off and see a white and a black man fight to a finish. Let the South concede fair play to all men and there will be no gift at the disposal of our grand republic that will not come to them without the asking.—Independent. GRAVE GIVES UP SKELETON GHASTLY DISCOVERY MAY BRING ABOUT ANOTHER LONG BATTLE IN THE COURTS. "MURDER WILL OUT" THREE MURDERS ARE SAID TO BE TRACED TO MEN PROMINENT IN "COLORADO TROUBLE." Telluride, Colo.—As the result of the unearthing of the skeleton, supposed to be that of W. J. Barney, a miner who disappeared several years ago, the arrest of half a dozen men, formerly prominent in mining circles, will be made within a month. Bulkeley Wells dug up the human bones. He says the murderers are known, that several have already been located, and that the whereabouts of the others can not long be concealed. Wells found the body of Barney through a clew furnished by Steve Adams in his confession to the Idaho authorities, which confession Adams has since repudiated. The skeleton will be introduced as evidence when the trials of the men who are to be arrested are called. Knows Smith's Grave. Wells also claims to know where the body of Smith was buried, but this will not be taken up until the alleged murderers are in custody. He says the skeleton of Barney was unearthed only to give the local authorities ground on which to issue warrants. The discovery of the skeleton was made in a remote part of Gold King gulch twelve miles from town. Besides Wells, City Marshal Willard Runnels and others were present. The location of the place of burial was made possible by the visit here in June, 1906, of Steve Adams. Adams was brought here by General Wells to substantiate some matters related in his confession. He had stated that he knew where the bodies of W. J. Barney and Wesley Smith were buried. The former disappeared in June, 1901, and the latter in March, 1902. Adams, in his confession in Idaho, admitted that he was the assassin of Arthur L. Collins, formerly general manager of the Smuggler-Union Mining Company, who was killed on November 19, 1902. Asked if he knew anything about the disappearance of Barney and Smith and whether or not he was implicated with their taking off, he replied that he had nothing to do with their disappearance, but knew the circumstances surrounding it and where the bodies were buried. Describes Mode of Killing. He said that Barney was assaulted in the rear of a livery stable on Colorado avenue late at night. He was wounded with revolvers and clubs and during the affray a shot in a gun exploded. After Barney had been beaten up in a livery stable, according to the confession, by Vincent St. John, then president of the Telluride union, and six or seven Austrians, he was marched to the railroad tracks 100 yards distant. They then escorted him, Adams said, down the railroad track a distance of some three miles to where it crossed the wagon road leading to the Alta mines and mill. Up this road into the mountains he was taken to near the Alta mill. He says Barney thought they were going to escort him out of the country, but upon arriving near the Alta they shot him to death. His body was taken thirty or forty feet below the road, placed on the ground and a big tree rolled above and alongside of it. There it remained until late in the summer of 1903, when the murders began to feel uncomfortable in apprehension of approaching trouble, and Adams, according to his own confession, accompanied by O. M. Carpenter, then secretary-treasurer of the Telluride Miners' union, removed the remains from behind the tree and buried them in a more secluded place. They stripped the body, he said, of the clothing and boots and took it down into a little flat just below, burying it in one hole and the clothing in another about thirty feet distant, which was done in order to destroy identification. When Adams was down there in June, 1906, with General Wells they went up to the little flat where Barney and his clothes had been buried, but on account of about four feet of snow on the ground at the time they could not find the places where the clothes and body had been buried, though they dug many holes around in the snow. Adams, however, showed General Wells marks on trees and other things by which the location of the grave could be determined when the snow had disappeared. Later in the season General Wells found the hole in which Barney's clothes and boots had been buried. The boots were cut exactly as Adams had described when they were removed from Barney's feet. These General Wells has kept in his possession until now. Several efforts were made during last year to find the grave, but proved unsuccessful by reason of Adams having given a description of the location of the grave just opposite to that where it was finally found. General Wells says a complete skeleton of Barney was taken up. Only one or two ribs were missing and they were found with the clothes. The skeleton shows two bullet holes through the ribs and another through the bone of the arm. The front teeth are knocked out and the skull fractured. The skeleton was brought to town. With regard to the disappearance of Smith, Adams says he was killed in the Miners' Union hospital in this place. General Wells stated that through information obtained from Adams he was confident of later finding the resting place of the bones of Smith. While here in June, 1906, Adams' presence in the county was kept as se- secret as possible in order to prevent information reaching the Milners' union. He was in custody of General Wells at Pandora, where the Smuggler-Union mills and offices are located, all the time when not showing General Wells around the county. He pointed out to General Wells the fir tree in the shadow of which he stood when he fired the charge of buckshot through the window of the office building into the back of Manager Collins. He also told General Wells where to look for the cartridge shell which he extracted from the gun after firing the shot and the shell was found at the place indicated. The grand jury will undoubtedly bring in indictments against those alleged to be responsible for the death of Collins, Barney and Smith. Studies Trees of Colorado. Denver.—Commissioned by the faculty of Leland Stanford University to investigate the forest reserves of Colorado and to make a detailed report on the lumber interests of this state, Eri Horner Richardson is spending his summer looking into the forest primeval. His reports to Stanford University, to be submitted next month, will be a big advertisement for the Colorado ranges, and may even result in stimulating the lumber industry here, crippled at present by reason of the vast holdings which the government refuses to relinquish. Mr. Richardson is a graduate of North Denver high school and is pursuing a special course in forestry and lumbering at the Pacific coast institution. He is on a visit to his parents at 2930 West Thirty-second avenue, and is utilizing his spare time in accomplishing the work mapped out for him by his school. He traveled 109 miles straight back into the heart of the very wildest section of the Rockies and went up over the Continental Divide and down across the wooded slope on the west into the forests of Middle Park. He is making a complete collection of Colorado trees and shrubs for the herbarium at Stanford. He says that the future lumber industry of Colorado depends on judicious care of the forests and minimizing the danger of forest fire. Three of Colorado's most important timber trees are common along the Moffat road, says Mr. Richardson. The first is the ball pine, commercially known as the yellow pine. This is found up to an elevation of 8,500 feet. The white pine flourishes on the western slope. Technically it is known as the lodge pole. With it is intermingled the white spruce. Thousands of railroad ties have been cut from this. The government system of caring for the ranges of Colorado has proved of considerable interest to Mr. Richardson. He says that only the trees that are ripe and can be cut to the advantage of the surrounding trees are removed and that new trees are planted. On private lands the trees are cut without discrimination and frequent fires complete the destruction, leaving a barren waste, which under natural conditions would take hundreds of years to reforest. All of these facts will be embodied in Mr. Richardson's report to Leland Stanford. Rockefeller Will Live to 94. Cleveland.—That John D. Rockefeller will live to be more than ninety-four is the prediction of Dr. H. F. Biggar, his family physician. Dr. Biggar watched Mr. Rockefeller play golf over the Forest Hill links and at the finish declared that the Standard Oil magnate was likely to live a quarter of a century longer. William Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller's father, is still living, and is ninety-four. Dr. Biggar said he saw no reason why the master of Forest Hill should not live longer than his father. "Mr. Rockefeller has been born twice physically, and he is only fourteen years old now. He is growing up again scientifically, adding to his muscle, to his lungs, to his heart power, with every breath of fresh air he takes on Forest Hill and with every drive he makes at the golf club. "Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleveland in 1893, in the middle of the panic period, completely broken in health and spirit. He could eat nothing which would nourish him. His appetite was gone and his nervous system was a wreck. "Doctor, I'm a sick man. I'm afraid I'm going to die. But it is not on account of my financial situation that I am sick," he said. "It is through disappointment of my friends." He asked the doctor to help him. After a few days Dr. Biggar went to Mr. Rockefeller with his prescription: "Drop all business cares; take regular exercise, keep in the open air, forget everything but play, and play as if your life depended upon it." Mr. Rockefeller carried out the prescription and dited religiously. A few years afterward he was recovered. Auto Climbs a Tree. Derby, Conn.—While an automobile containing Frederick S. Mauch, a manufacturer of Brooklyn, N. Y., his wife and Mortimer Brewster of Philadelphia, was descending a steep hill near Cheshire, the steering gear broke and the car ran off a high embankment into the branches of a tree. Mrs. Mauch clung to the tree, Mr. Mauch was hurled into a brook and Mr. Brewster was caught under the falling car. It was an hour before Mr. Brewster was taken out and attended to. He received a fracture of the wrist and was bruised from head to foot. Mrs. Mauch was unhurt and Mr. Mauch was only slightly injured. "Didn't Know It Was Loaded." Douglas, Wyo.—Because he thought the gun was not loaded, the 19-year-old son of Oscar Dimmer, section foreman on the Northwestern at Richards station, near here, aimed a revolver at his 5-year-old brother, pulled the trigger and inflicted a fatal wound. The little fellow was brought to this city in the evening and attended by two physicians, but died at 5 o'clock. The Dimmer family has been at Richards only about three months, coming from Omaha. The older brother is almost frantic with grief over the tragedy. FLAMES LICK UP $800,000 MILLION-DOLLAR GOLDEN CYCLE MILL AT COLORADO CITY ON FIRE. A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION TEN ACRES OF STRUCTURES WIPED OUT IN ABOUT TWO HOURS OF TIME. Colorado Springs.—Following a terrific explosion in the roasting room, the million-dollar Golden Cycle mill at Colorado City was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning. The loss will approximate $800,000, with about $480,000 insurance. Only the leaching room and the transformer building were saved, the flames licking up an area of about ten acres of structures in less than two hours. Although the origin of the fire has not been definitely determined it is supposed to have been due to an explosion of gas. At 9:30 o'clock the roasters in the old part of the building exploded and it is believed this was caused by the accumulation of gas in the fire boxes. About twenty men were in this room at the time and it is regarded as marvelous that no one was hurt. Frederick Brownley jumped from an upper window twenty feet above ground, but escaped uninjured and afterward helped to fight the fire. Fight Flames in Vain. The departments of Colorado City and Colorado Springs helped to battle the flames, but the mill was doomed almost before the alarm was turned in. The Colorado City department got water from hydrants on the mill grounds and Chief E. E. Baty of Colorado Springs laid 1,700 feet of hose from the creek. The wind was blowing from the south and west when the fire started and the flames quickly spread from the roasting room to the sampler and the ore bins. After the fire had burned half an hour the wind changed, blowing from the north, and the flames were turned from the leaching room and the transformer building. Had the wind continued in one direction both building would have been destroyed with the rest of the plant. Fifteen thousand tons of ore was stored in the bins, but as it would have to have undergone a roasting process any way the loss will not be great. The seven roasters, all of which were in operation, were badly damaged although it is believed that four of them, recently installed, can be repaired. The fire started in the old part of the building where three roasters were stationed and these have been damaged probably beyond repair. George Kindel Is Hopeful Denver.—"I was in the Federal Court in Chicago Saturday when Judge Landis rendered his decision in the Standard Oil cases, and I felt confident then that it meant the dawn of the day of justice for all has arrived and that it means better days for Denver against the discrimination of the railroads," said George J. Kindel, who just returned home from a six weeks' visit East, flushed with the success attending his appearance before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington, in the now famous freight rate suit filed last January. Kindel is positive that the commission will soon render a decision favorable to Denver. The commission gave him and his attorney, Judge W. H. Harrison, a most respectful hearing, and permitted him to file two new complaints, which he did in the name of the Merchants' Traffic Association, of which he is president. These complaints are to be heard in connection with the freight rate suits filed previously. Edward P. Costigan, attorney for the Chamber of Commerce, was also in Washington, during the hearing, but Kindel says he had no opportunity to be heard. He says the Chamber of Commerce intervention can now have no effect on the case. Kindel states that they decided to allow the case to stand as it was here without further argument. Everywhere, Kindel says, he was asked about Colorado, and everybody was inclined to be friendly to the state. He found a big stack of answers from the railroads when he returned home, all of them flat denials. "With climate, and everything else in our favor, when the commission places us on an equal footing with our commercial rivals East and West in the matter of freight rates, then will Denver become absolutely supreme," declares Kindel. Counterfeiter Suspects Arrested. Canon City, Colo.—Deputy Sheriff Charles Snyder of Williamsburg arrested four men who are alleged to have had in their possession counterfeit money, which they attempted to pass at a saloon. Snyder went in pursuit and was attacked by the men, who took his revolver from him. Snyder made his escape and returned later with a rifle and renewed the chase. He succeeded in arresting them and brought them to the county jail. They gave the names of H. H. Wilson, James Noble, F. H. Bryant and Kid Johnson. Considerable of the bad money was found on them. Breaks Confederate Bill Pueblo.—Magistrate Corson decided that passing a $100 Confederate bill is not against the law and John Prijatel, held on that charge, was turned loose. The man had walked into a saloon, called for drinks, laid down the bill and walked off with the change. He said, when arrested, that he had paid $30 for the bill. Government officials refuse to take up the case, as a confederate bill is not considered a counterfeit. SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS. Illiteracy Prevails There to a Most Amazing Extent. Of the 20,000,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one-half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining $62\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. are absolute illiterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get a servant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. They bring a bundle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addresssee at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy-going Spaniards that he who treats the postmen best receives the most letters—whether they are intended for him or not. THE NEW YORK LIFE'S PROGRAM. Economy, Publicity and the Paramount Interest of Policyholders. President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says, in an address to the policyholders, that his plan of administration involves these points: "First: Strict economy; second, the widest, fairest and fullest publicity; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide institution; fourth, such an amount of new business under the law as we can secure while practicing intelligent economy, and enforcing the idea that the interest of the policy-holder is paramount."

"Read?" "No, sah!" How do you know about the Bible? "Ma niece reads it to me!" "Know about the Ten commandments?" "No, sah!" "The Twenty-third Psalm?" "Nebber heard of him, sah!" "Know the Beatitudes?" "No, sah!" "Well, what part of the Bible do you like best?" "Parbles, sah!" "Can you give us one?" "Deed, yes, sah!" "Let us have it, then." "Once w'en the queen of Sheba was gwine down to Jerusalem she fell among thieves. First they passed her by on de oddah side den dey come ovah an' dey say unto her, 'Fro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her, 'Fro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her for de fird and last time, for I ain't gwine to ax yo no mo, 'Fro down Jezebel!' and dey fro'd her down for 70 times and 7, till de remains were 'leven baskets; and I say unto yo', whose wife was she at de resurrection?"—Bystander. Always in the Way. Recently a country doctor in the north of Ireland, a bachelor, who was locally noted for his bruseness and transcibility, was driving along a norrow lane, or "boreen," when his passage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the bog leading an ass whose panniers were filled with peats. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quickly enough to please the short-tempered doctor. "Faugh!" he exclaimed, with a snort or disgust. "Women and asses are always in the way." "I'm glad ye have the manners to put yourself last," said the old woman, calmly. The doctor drove on without another word. SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. "When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and billiousness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I gave up coffee entirely and the result has been that I have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now, and without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain In her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. "I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place." "There's a Reason."

The attendance at the teachers' institute at Boulder passed the 200 mark, which is by far the largest ever recorded in this district, which includes the counties of Weld, Larimer and Boulder. After a delay of fifteen years settlement of the estate of James Williams at Georgetown has been perfected, a certified copy of the decree having been filed with the county clerk and recorder. Miss Mary Bales, a resident of Boulder, died in Winchester, Ind., Friday, August 2. She had been in Boulder for eighteen months and went East two weeks ago with the body of her brother, expecting to return after his funeral. County Treasurer E. B. Simmons, at Colorado Springs, has found a sum aggregating $1,525.05 that he is in doubt to know what to do with. The money has accumulated from unclaimed estates, and has come into the treasury through the coroner. Part of the fund has been standing for a period of twenty-five years. H. B. Brown, a prominent capitalist from Sioux City, Ia., has been looking over large tracts near Greeley and expects to make heavy land investments and bring settlers from northwestern Iowa. Mr. Brown has been traveling extensively through the West and likes Greeley better for this project than any section he has yet visited. The Lot island Chamber of Commerce has received a report of the canvassing committee on the proposed canning factory. The committee reported the entire $40,000 required had been raised and the Empson Packing Company of Longmont was notified that the cash for the erection of the building was ready and the necessary acreage of peas was guaranteed. W. K. Barr appeared before the state land board at Denver recently and asked to purchase 5,880,530 feet of timber located in Grand county, three and one-half miles southwest of Frazer. The timber has been inspected by W. T. Fairfax and a minimum price of $3 per thousand was made by the board. The timber will be duly advertised for sale and disposed of later. Vlivian Abeyta, a well known politician and a pioneer of Las Animas county, recently died at his home west of Trinidad. He was 53 years old and had taken an active part in county politics for many years. He served two terms as chairman of the board of county commissioners, and also held other public offices. He is survived by a wife and four children. The city council at Pueblo has ordered the fire chief and the chief of police to withdraw fire and police protection from Minnequa Heights, because that section refuses to come into the city. This action was threatened thirty days ago, when the residents of the Heights were told that if they did not apply for admission all city privileges would be withdrawn. W. C. Blair, formerly reading clerk in the House of Representatives, has been appointed to the position of assistant bookkeeper by State Auditor Statler. Mr. Blair is a Lake City man, and publishes the Lake City Times. He has been engaged in work for the state since the last season and will probably continue in the auditor's office during the present administration. Denver will have a workshop for the blind, where those afflicted with the loss of sight can learn a trade whereby they can support themselves, within the next few weeks. Rooms in the Eagle block, West Eleventh and Sante Fe avenues, have been secured and are being fitted up with the necessary appliances. The workshop will be in charge of J. F. Myers, who is a blind man, and the cash for its maintenance is being paid by the state treasurer in accord with the bill passed by the last Legislature which appropriated $10,000 for the work. Those fortunate enough to have a partial fruit crop this season in the vicinity of Fort Collins are receiving record prices for their products. In a shipment of five crates of cherries made from the famous McClelland orchard to Denver, three crates sold for $13.50 and two crates for $10. The net return on the five crates was $20.30, or more than double what the same fruit would have brought last season. Mr. McClelland will have about 200 crates of cherries, which will sell for an average of $5 a crate. Last year from the same orchard he had about 2,000 crates. Currants are selling at $3.50 a crate and Mr. McClelland has a fair crop, considering the ravages of the frost. The usual price is $1.50 a crate for currants. A sensation was sprung in the juvenile court at Colorado Springs, when Judge Kerr, in sentencing 15-year-old Alice Rickard, daughter of Mrs. Mary Rickard, to the Girl's Industrial school at morrison, for incorrigibility, was informed that the defendant was married three months ago. This circumstance in nowise affected the decision, however, and the girl will be taken to Morrison. Alice was secretly married to Tom Seward, living with her mother after the wedding. The husband, who is said to be only 19 years old, left town. The girl attracted the attention of the juvenile officer by her alleged connection with the theft of a diamond stickpin, and although her innocence was proven, the trial brought out other features resulting in the sentence.

Invitation to Franklin Several amusing incidents in the life of Benjamin Franklin have been handed down to us, many of which exhibit his rare wit and some few indicate the humor of his contemporaries. During the course of an extended journey, Franklin was obliged to await an unusually long time for his stage. The day was very warm and sultry and not a little dusty, but all this did not ruffle his philosophical temper. The stage at last arrived, and as the door opened Franklin was much pleased to see an old friend, whom he cordially greeted, expressing his satisfaction at having secured a traveling companion. His friend, however, whose irritation was not decreased by the closely-crowded stage and the tolerable weather, together with Franklin's hesitation on noting the already overburdened coach, perhaps unconsciously exclaimed: "Come, Ben-jam-in. We are late now."—Judge's Library. THE DENVER PAINT AND VARNISH CO. The Acme Quality Line. 1520 Blake St. Denver. HOWARD E.

Housekeeper Gets Excellent Sweet at a Small Cost. The housekeeper who practices economy from necessity and whose family is fond of orange marmalade as well as of the fresh fruit, has solved the problem of making excellent marmalade at a little less than half the cost of the same bought ready made. She saves the peel from the oranges eaten by the family, in an air-tight box, until she has enough to make, when cut in very fine strips, with all the inner pith removed with a sharp knife, a pint or a little over. The oranges are to be peeled dry, that is, all the peeling removed before the inner skin is broken, and these dry skins will keep in a cool place two weeks without molding. When she has enough, six large navel oranges and three good lemons are purchased. This fresh fruit is cut in two and with a sharp penknife the pulp of the fruit is removed without any of the fine inner skin which divides it into sections. There will be some juice left in the fruit, but this is carefully squeezed out and added to the pulp. From the lemon pulp every seed is taken out and then orange and lemon pulp is placed in a deep dish and covered with three pounds of granulated sugar. The peel of the oranges and lemons is now cut into sections, carefully trimmed of all inner pith, and cut in very thin slices or straws. These are added to the pint of previously prepared slices of orange, and the whole placed in a saucepan with sufficient water to just cover them. Then they are boiled gently till the skins are perfectly cooked and so tender that a small straw will pierce then easily. It may be necessary to add a little more water from time to time. There should be just enough water on the peels when they are cooked enough to barely cover them. To this is added the orange and lemon pulp and sugar and the whole is boiled till a little poured on a cold plate will set. The marmalade must be cooked slowly, and great care must be taken to prevent its setting on the bottom of the saucepan. This quantity will fill six ordinary jelly glasses or a little more, and its cost is not more than 42 cents, an average of seven cents a glass. This is quite as good as the marmalade bought in the stores and very much cheaper, with the added advantage of knowing exactly what is in it. How to Build a Collar Box. The fashion of wearing the turn-down embroidered linen collar has created a demand for a proper receptacle for them, and this comes in the form of book covers about 15 inches long and six inches wide. These are covered on the outside with cretonne or silk and on the inside with a sheet of perfumed cotton over which is white linen. Straps of cotton are sewed across the covers about three inches from either end, and through these the ends of the collars are slipped. This keeps them perfectly flat and in a much more convenient form than a collar box. The covers fold together and tie with ribbon, giving a perfectly flat case that may be easily packed. Canned Beans. To one peck of beans add a cup of vinegar and one tablespoonful of salt, cover with water and boil for three-quarters of an hour. Put into glass jars and seal. Before using soak for two hours and cook until tender, pouring off the first water as soon as the beans come to a boil, and boiling until tender in the second water. They are good bolled with ham or beef or cooked alone and dressed with butter, cream, pepper and salt. Pie Crust. To make pie crust light, flaky and digestible, wet it up with buttermilk, into which a little soda has been stirred. You can use less lard and still have nice, rich crust which is appetizing.

Incoming strikebreakers persuaded to refuse to fill places of striking men. ************************************************************** Denver.—No relief is expected from Washington, D. C., in connection with the strike situation on the Colorado & Southern railway. Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Charles P. Nell, commissioner of labor, have made no progress toward a settlement, and it is now believed that nothing will be accomplished by the mediators. It is improbable that they will come to Denver, and if they do come they will have a trying job to bring the men and the company together. A. D. Parker, vice president of the Colorado & Southern, says that his telegram to the commissioners did not ask them to take up the trouble of the company with the switchmen, who are striking for an advance of 2 cents an hour, but simply asked them to decide whether the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen had violated its contract with the company. The outlook is that the strike will spread. Grievance committees of the Denver & Rio Grande and they will make a demand for an additional 2 cents an hour for the yardmen also. If this is done, it will either end the present strike or cause it to spread to other roads. Every railroad in the West is threatened. Central City, Colo.—To prevent the closing of their mines, which would entail a loss of thousands of dollars, and to relieve a threatened coal famine, ten of Central City's most prominent citizens turned "brakies" and manned a train of fifteen cars of fuel destined for this district. They took charge of the freight at Golden, where it had been laid out since the calling of the general strike of trainmen on the Colorado & Southern last week. The train was divided into three sections and pulled by five engines. Men Who Manned Train. following are those who manned the train: P. R. Alsdorf, secretary of the local chamber of commerce; Hermann Lunberg, superintendent of the Buell mill; Thomas Cody, sheriff of Gilpin county; J. I. Jones, manager of the O. K. mine; J. C. Fleschutz, general manager of the Pewabic Consolated Mines Company; John Gundy, prominent mining man; J. E. Douben, foreman of the Pewabic mine; Alfred Skeels, manager of the Gold Collar Mines Company; Gus Marquis, engineer on the East Pewabic; Bert McFland, eastern agent of the Pewabic Consolated Gold Mines Company. Leaves Golden at Noon. They left here on the early morning passenger, arriving at Golden shortly after 9 o'clock. The work of switching the cars was begun immediately, and at noon the first section pulled out. Owing to the weakness of the tracks as a result of the recent flood in the canon, the train proceeded cautiously. The fuel situation in Glipin county had become alarming, because of the inability of the railroad to haul coal on account of the strike, and the chamber of commerce decided upon the unique scheme of partial relief. They issued a call for help and more than a score responded, but only a dozen were necessary. Several mines have already closed down owing to the shortage of coal, and many others will be forced to do likewise unless the strike is settled soon. For Pumping Purposes. The coal brought in will be used by the Fifty Gold Mines Company, which recently installed pumps and entered upon an active campaign of development on its big group. They are operating a gigantic pump in the incline shaft, and over twenty tons of coal a day is used. Had the arrival of the fuel been delayed another day, the pump, which is too large to be pulled, would have been allowed to drown. This would have caused a loss of $10,000, as it would cost fully that much to lower the water so that the pump could again be operated. Aside from this loss it would have meant the closing down of fifteen or twenty properties drained through the incline shaft. Blocked at Cheyenne. The strikers claim that the Cheyenne & Northern division, which runs north from Cheyenne, is completely blocked. They say the road attempted to send out a local Wednesday morning with the chief dispatcher from Cheyenne in charge and with three Japanese section hands as brakemen. It was stated at the general offices of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company in Denver that the strike would have to spread considerably before the plant at Pueblo would close down. There was no developments looking to the involving of the other roads in the fight. Grand Master Morrissey stated that there was little danger of other roads becoming involved just now, though he declined to state if steps would be taken to bring the men on the other lines out at an early date. The concensus of opinion among business men is that it will be necessary for the strike to spread in order for the strikers to gain the fight. Fifteen Mines Shut Down. Trinidad, Colo.—Fifteen coal mines in the vicinity of Trinidad are closed as a result of the Colorado & Southern strike, and nearly 1,500 men are out of employment indefinitely. Inability to get cars has brought about the condition. It is feared that many more will be forced to shut down in a few days. Among the mines that were forced to close are the Colorado Fuel & Iron properties at Tobasco and Berwind, the mines of the Victor Fuel & Iron Company at Suffield and Bowen, and a dozen smaller mines between Trinidad and Hastings. None of the Colorado Fuel & Iron mines on the Colorado & Wyoming railroad is affected, and the Denver & Rio Grande will handle all the coal north of Hastings. The Rio Grande has refused to handle some of the Colorado & Southern cars because of inexperienced men in charge. The mines which have direct connection with the Rio Grande are still in full operation. There is a congestion of cars in the Colorado & Southern yards, and all freight business is practically at a standstill. So far as the strikers are concerned there has been no demonstration of any character, and they even refrain from discussing the strike on the streets. Some of the more radical element attempted to incite trouble, but were quickly suppressed by the strike committee. Laramie-Poudre Ditch Under Way. Greeley, Colo.—Several grading outfits will be put to work soon on the big ditch of the Laramie-Poudre Irrigation Company, which will be constructed from the mountains east for forty miles into the Crow Creek country. This will be the highest ditch in the irrigated section and will cross the Union Pacific railroad just north of the new town of Nunn. The ditch, when completed, will be one of the largest in northern Colorado and it, with its laterals, will irrigate not less than 75,000 acres of now arid land. Already water rights to the amount of $600,000 have been sold to land owners along the course of the ditch. The cost to irrigate will be $40 an acre, ten per cent of which is paid at the start and the balance in ten years. The company also has a force of men at work in the mountains, where a ditch and tunnel will be constructed to draw water from the Laramie river into the Poudre valley. The company also owns a chain of lakes on this side of the range. These, with other reservoirs to be constructed, will make one of the largest irrigation systems in the state. Arrangements also have been made with the Poudre Valley Reservoir Company to carry the first named company's water in the latter's ditch for a distance of sixteen miles, to Douglas lake. From there to Cobb lake the two companies will join in building the ditch a distance of twelve miles. The Poudre Valley company will then complete Cobb lake as a storage reservoir to hold 2000,000,000 cubic feet of water. Between the two their storage capacity will be much greater than any other system in this part of the state. "Frats" Will Listen to Reason. Denver.—Rather than antagonize the school boards in various communities which oppose their existence, members of the high school fraternities, which have been threatened at times from one end of the country to the other, with extermination, will hereafter resort to diplomacy in dealing with the heads of these institutions. Whenever any differences arise they will seek to settle them by arbitration, and in this way make their fraternities of even greater strength and power. This is the prevailing sentiment among the fraternity boys now in Denver to attend the second biennial convention of the Gamma Eta Kappa. The convention was opened with a smoker and social. The rest of the week will be taken up with business, sight-seeing and entertainment. The convention will end with a banquet at the Albany. Colorado to Send Delegates. Colorado has been invited to send delegates to the fifteenth annual irrigation congress, which meets in Sacramento, California, the first week in September. It is said the congress will be the largest in the history of the organization. Many noted men will be present, including Vice President Fairbanks, three members of the President's Cabinet, and a number of senators, congressmen and governors. Some of the large institutions of learning, besides most of the commercial bodies of the cities, will send representatives. At least 3,000 delegates are expected from all parts of the country. Stratton Estate Pays Tax. The executors of the Stratton estate have notified Attorney General Dickson that they would pay the entire inheritance tax. The tax is drawing a daily interest of $50 and the executors prefer to pay what the state demands rather than allow the interest to accrue. The state will receive $375.4f2.68. This is $200 less than the attorney general had figured it several weeks ago, but he was willing to accept the explanation that a mistake had been made in calculation. ```markdown ``` EAST TURNER 2132-2148 ARAPAHOE Tel. 2449.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. WATER THE man who believes that David H. Moffat would enter into any kind of a scheme to rob the city of Denver of one cent, or of several million dollars, as the everlasting political screech owls have commenced to screech, has a narrow idea of honor. As president of the water company, Mr. Moffat has made a proposition to the city which will enable the people to choose between purchasing the water plant and granting a new franchise. The proposition is honorable and fair and characteristic of Mr. Moffat's great loyalty to Denver. It opens the way to settle satisfactorily all controversy over the city's water supply, a question which has irritated the people for years. But the politicians, the screech owl politicians, have already commenced to screech and screech and screech. WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES "GENERALLY speaking, the sharpest race prejudice in the South is exhibited by the poorer class of white people, whether farmers, artisans or unskilled workers, who come into active competition with the Negroes, or from politicians who are seeking the votes of this class of people. It is this element which has driven the Negroes out of more than one community in the South and it commonly forms the lynching mobs. A similar antagonism of the working classes exists in the North wherever the Negro has appeared in large numbers—as I shall show when I come to write of the treatment of the Northern Negro. On the other hand, the larger land owners and employers of the South, and all professional and business men who hire servants, while they dislike and fear the Negro as a race (though often loving and protecting individual Negroes), want the black man to work for them. More than that, they MUST HAVE HIM; for he has a practical monopoly on labor in the South. White men of the employing class will do almost anything to keep the Negro on the land and his wife in the kitchen—so long as they are obedient and unambitious workers." With the pointed declarations quoted above, Ray Stannard Baker begins his article on "Following The Color Line," in the American Magazine for August. The expression is remarkable because it embraces the race question almost in its entirety. While Negro newspapers have made the same statements, in effect, time and time again, this is the first time that such a truthful and unbiased resume of the actual conditions existing in this country has been laid plainly before all the people. Culture, then, does not lend itself to the spirit of racial antagonism. Neither does it express or know any fear as to the bugaboo of social equality. It is so well assured of its own inherent capacity that similar culture alone can attract it toward comparisons and then only pleasurably. The Negro's improvement, his slow but steady growth in culture and capacity, is the thing that galls the poorer classes of white people. To imagine himself a less fit human being than a Negro severely wounds the pride of the white man of small culture. The more ignorant he is the greater is his prejudice. The accompanying fear of a growing competition in the labor field makes the situation all the more aggravating, for the struggle for existence is not most easily met by those who have the least difficulty in preparing for it. But the inflamed sentiment arising out of these conditions of embittered pride and fear of material superiority, does not promise well for the future of either race. A change of some kind will have to come over existing conditions. The justice of the case demands laws that will cultivate the higher instincts of both races. These the politicians will oppose as long as selfishness and cupidity are allowed to hold sway in American public affairs. But this will not be forever, for the salvation of the country depends upon the universal realization of those ideals upon which the earliest struggles of the nation were founded. TEXAS AND TUBERCULOSIS. THE law enacted by the last Texas Legislature prohibiting the entry into that state of any person afflicted with consumption, goes beyond usual lines to secure what the legislators probably considered self-protection. It comes quite up to the border rule, which gave the advantage to the man who got the drop on the other fellow. It aims to kill before the other fellow has a chance. A consumptive would want to go to Texas for no other reason, probably, than that the climate held out some hope of saving his life. But now the sheriff will meet him at the border and order him back to Death Valley. The poor fellow who is dying for the want of good air to breathe, will find that there are portions of God's free air which have been preempted and which, therefore, may not enter his nostrils. We don't know what he will think of his fellowmen, and the good people of Texas probably won't care what he thinks. They were on the ground first; and have not those who got there first a right to the monopoly of the land, the water and the air? In a shipwreck has not the stronger man the right to drive a weaker brother from a plank that will hold but one? It is self-protection. There are no humane obligations binding upon the members of civilized society, when, through inexplainable affliction one becomes a menace to the safety of others. Among savages, probably such an obligation will be recognized, but not among those whom Christian civilization has taught to value their own lives and to pray for the souls of others. Consumption, through carelessness and ignorance, becomes infectious, undoubtedly. But it is never epidemic like smallpox or yellow fever. A quarantine against it would be less effective than sanitary provisions for the care of the afflicted. There are many other deadly diseases which may be contracted from association. Will the Texas law-makers continue in their course and soon compel prospective citizens to take a medical examination and furnish a doctor's certificate of health? But external remedies are not an absolute safeguard for a body politic any more than for the physical body. What will Texas do with the consumptives which it already has on hand? If it don't treat them properly they will spread the plague quite as much as would those who were kept out. If it does treat them properly, it could just as well and just as easily treat all others properly. There is no particular danger menacing the people of a state through the coming of those to whom its climate is a balm and a cure. Colorado has many strong, healthy and valuable citizens who came to the state in the early stages of consumption, or otherwise seeking health. Those who seek health and fail to find it, because of the tardiness of their search, represent no permanent danger which modern care cannot easily and rationally control. There is no good reason why any state should seek to shift responsibilities of this nature. If God provides a natural sanitarium for the earth's afflicted and it becomes incorporated into a state, province or country, whose settlers make and administer its civil laws, and those laws deny to the afflicted the boon which God created for them, we have a mighty poor opinion of those laws, as well as of the people who make them. Eduration the Cure-All for Social and Political Ills By PRESIDENT BENJAMIN IDE WHEELER. University of California. UMAN society of this present time and place evidently believes in education. It is inclined to stake its life upon it. It believes on the whole with a faith that is childlike and bland. It is often perplexed about what to teach and why, and how to teach it and through whom, and yet the perplexities seem only to sanctify the deep mysteries of pedagogy, and strengthen faith in the systems that issue from the cloud wrapped mount of education, if education fails in an individual case, the faith is still strong enough and the charity gentle enough to judge that there ought to have been more of it in quantity, or else UMAN society of this present time and place evidently believes in education. It is inclined to stake its life upon it. It believes on the whole with a faith that is childlike and bland. It is often perplexed about what to teach and why, and how to teach it and through whom, and yet the perplexities seem only to sanctify the deep mysteries of pedagogy, and strengthen faith in the systems that issue from the cloud wrapped mount of education, if education fails in an individual case, the faith is still strong enough and the charity gentle enough to judge that there ought to have been more of it in quantity, or else a higher voltage; the operation was successful though the patient died. For all the social ills education has come to be as universal a prescription as blood letting in the older medicine. If people are leaving the farms, if divorce is undermining the family, if the political machine is looting the cities, the remedy is to be found in education; the schools must look out for it. This is the habit of opinion to-day. The habit appears to be a good one; the opinion is presumably in substance correct. At the heart of the present-day belief in education is our people's faith in the common schools. They have developed pari passu with our democracy. Our people are persuaded that the maintenance of our peculiar institutions of popular government is dependent on their existence, and the full and successful workings of these institutions upon their efficiency. There has appeared no competent reason for impugning the wisdom of this decided and increasing popular conviction. The public schools must me made and kept the school for all without recognition of classes or conditions, and it must shape its work and plan so as to close no door but rather open the freest opportunity for the best achievement and the highest advance. The present rigid system of the grades, whose chief excuse has been economic necessity, must yield to permit the more rapid advance of gifted and diligent pupils. The old district school, without the grades, was more humane. Nowadays the machinery of grades and courses is wonderfully perfect, but the school exists for the child and not for the grades. The place for the child in reference to the grades is at any time to be determined not by what he has gone through in the past whether the pages or classes, but by the work he is able to go on and do next. Too many minds and too many wills and ambitions are dulled by the routine and treadmill of the grades; and that means bandaging the foot and strapping the skull to produce a standard size. Particularly do the last two years of the grades need to be refreshed and readapted. The common school is of noble name, noble like and commonwealth it represents, but he who falsely shifts the value of its name is warned, he dare call nothing common or unclean that service of humanity at large has cleaned. Best Environment for a Boy By MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM A. BANCROFT. President Boston Elevated Railway Company. Best Environment for a Boy By MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM A. BANCROFT, President Boston Elevated Railway Company. In the roll of America's greatest men it is astonishing to note how many of them were products of what might be called rural environment. It is true that the most famous man of our time, Theodore Roosevelt, was born in the heart of the metropolis of the nation, but his case forms the very rare exception. It might appear at first glance that little could come out of the city, but the fact is that when the great men of our history were born, the city represented nothing like the preponderance of population which it represents to-day. In the beginning everything was country, and only by slow changes at first, and afterward more rapidly, did the urban population begin to outnumber the rural. At the present time it is often difficult to draw the line where the city ends and the country begins, and it is harder to make the definite distinction between the country-bred and the city-bred. City conditions have penetrated the country to a very notable extent, and the city has been obliged to introduce many rural conditions. The vast systems of parks which the great cities have established and which they so sedulously maintain testify to the degree in which rural environment has been appropriated by the city. There are many villages, moreover, which it would be hard to distinguish from small cities, and many small cities which might be easily mistaken for villages. There are congested centers of population in the large city where the growing boy is deprived of those essentials of physical health and strength, light, fresh air and exercise, but this condition has been overcome to a very large extent in most well-regulated municipalities, and no doubt eventually will entirely disappear. In the country, on the other hand, there are places where the growing boy is overworked, and where his life so lacks variety and change that his faculties go undeveloped and he grows up into a dull and unresourceful manhood. It is true also that this condition does not exist in the degree in which it once existed, and that the time will come when it will have disappeared through the establishment of a closer and more sympathetic relation between the world of varied activity and the world of unrelieved drudgery. My opinion is that the boy who is brought up to-day in a small city, which has a distinctly rural background, has a better chance of success than either the typical city boy or the typical country boy. He has access to the advantages of both city and country. He must be a natural dullard not to profit by the incentives to the keener and eager enterprise of city life, and a natural sloth to forego the pastimes and pleasures of the rustic life. Of course, the mere place of birth counts for nothing; the subsequent environment is everything. Environment once counted for less than it does now. The poet, the artist may be able to do as effective work and to attain as great fame in rural as in urban surroundings, but the case is different as regards commercial and financial affairs. Whatever natural genius for the conduct of great business enterprises the boy in the country may possess, he will not achieve any distinction in such lines unless he comes to the city, obtains the city training and grasps the city point of view. The elaboration of the forces of present-day civilization has been such that a far wider knowledge of commerce and finance and industry is required than ever before by the successful man. The country boy may enjoy all the qualification for success in these lines, but he cannot do much without the city experienc We're going to remodel our front and if it's a little bad to get in just excure the mix up by knowing the bargains inside will ropay you for coming. $12, $15, $18.50 $20 2-Piece Suits $7.75 All $1.00 and $1.25 most $1.50 Negligee Shirts 95c $2.50 to $5.00 Extra Fine Straw Hats $1.45 Be sure and Come Early 'Twil Pay Johnson-Noel G 1005 16TH ST.

One mother may say: "I have lost my right hand, not of yesterday, but my right hand of many years." Many thanks to her friends who covered her over with flowers, Decked her with garlands, that sister of ours; Lying so silent by night and by day, sleeping the years of her womanhood away; Years she has marked for the joys of her friends, Years she must waste in the sloth of the grave; All the bright laurels she fought to make bloom. Fell to the earth when she went to the tomb. The springtime will come and go, The rain will melt the frost and snow; Time will heal the wound that bleeds so fresh today. But the memory of that dear young sister's face Time will never steal away. MRS. EMILY DANIELS. MRS MATTIE ADAMS. MRS. JOHN W. BELL. MRS. GEO. C. SAMPLE. So the People May Know!

According to London Newspaper Gratitude Is Not a Striking Feature in the Makeup of English Pleaders at the Bar of Justice. Some curious evidence was recently given in a case which turned on a solicitor's charge, one witness testifying that the man of law had remarked that "winks would have to be paid for," says Stray Stories, London. That some very curious items are found occasionally in a solicitor's bill of costs was amply borne out by a legal gentleman whom a representative of this paper recently consulted on the subject. "A managing clerk who was once in my employment," began the man of law, "made such a favorable impression on a client that one day the latter showed his appreciation of my clerk's efforts on his behalf by incontinently taking off a valuable diamond pin he was wearing and presenting it to him. "That unconscionable clerk of mine actually made a charge for receiving it, as follows: "To attending you: Long and special interview, when you presented me with your diamond pin, $3.25." "A certain firm of solicitors, with offices not many hundred yards from where we are sitting now, were conducting a case for a very impecunious client who was laying claim to a large sum of money. "Thanks to his legal advisers, he eventually obtained possession of the amount, but in the meantime he was practically supported by his solicitors. When their bill was presented it was a study. But the champion item was this: "To attending you when you requested the loan of four cents, in order to pay your omnibus fare to Hampstead, where you were to meet a relative, $1.65; to advance, 4 cents." "Here is a pendant to the story of the greedy clerk, the grateful client and the diamond pin. It is absolutely incredible, but at the same time absolutely true. It concerns another grateful client, who was so overjoyed at winning a case that he invited his solicitor to a most gorgeous dinner to celebrate the victory. "The food, the wines, the cigars and other comitants were of the finest and most expensive kinds and a most enjoyable dinner was followed by a box at the theater. "However, all through the festivities the man of law kept a keen eye on his business interests, for in his bill there subsequently appeared the amazing items: "To attending you at dinner, $1.65; to attending you at theater, $1.65.' "History does not record what the grateful client said when he perused the bill." The constant use of toilet pumice with a lather of toilet soap will keep the growth of superfluous hair invisible, but it will not permanently remove it. Output of Autos Increased. In the last five years the value of the annual output of the automobile factories of Germany has increased more than tenfold, or over 1,000 per cent. THE HORSE CARRIAGE L. S.

When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S.A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville. Mo., says: "Be they get out or order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs.S.A.Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

Boy In Misery 12 Years—Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." The Tell Tale Voice. "If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank. A man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's stringing you." Watching the Knife Play. "There is an awful fascination about seeing people eat with their knives," said he who has just spent a week on the farm for this health, with a retrospective look in his eyes. "A knife is such an unexpected instrument. You never know just where it is going to strike. You can't keep your eyes off. You are afraid to look for fear it might slip and cut the mouth half in two, and you are afraid if you don't look it might happen and you won't get to see it." Remember, young man, if you are not satisfied with your job, the chances are that the boss will not refuse to accept your resignation.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS SITUATION IS SERIOUS Denver.—Whether a general strike shall be called on the Denver & Rio Grande system will be determined at a meeting of the general grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen employed on that system and the company officials. Members of the general committee from along the line are en route to Denver to attend this conference, at which the question of two-cent differential over the Chicago scale of wages for switchmen will be discussed. Should the Denver & Rio Grande refuse to grant the increase, a general strike will be called immediately. If the demands of the men are granted, the strike on the Colorado & Southern will prove a victory for the strikers, as all the roads will find it convenient to follow the lead of the Denver & Rio Grande. Grand Master Morrissey refused to discuss the question, and maintained his usual policy of absolute silence. When word was received that the Interstate Commerce Commission had failed in its efforts to effect a reconciliation, the strikers began to talk immediately of extending the strike. The demand made upon the Colorado & Southern was the same as that made upon all the roads west of Denver, but a strike was declared on that line because Vice President Parker absolutely refused to grant the increase, while the other railroad officials pleaded for delay. The strikers realize now that a crucial time has arrived and say they will enforce their demand upon all the Western railroads without further postponement. General Manager Ridgway of the Denver & Rio Grande, who conducted the meetings with the brotherhood several months ago, when a strike was threatened, is on the Pacific coast recuperating from an attack of appendicitis. The men will be able to meet also Vice President Schlacks and General Superintendent Welby, both of whom are in the city. The Government Fails. Washington.—The national government has failed as a peacemaker in the strike of switchmen on the Colorado & Southern railroad, and Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neil announced that all hope had been abandoned of bringing about a satisfactory adjustment of the differences between the railroad company and 1th striking employees. Mr. Neil, with Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce Commission, undertook to act as a mediator at the request of Vice President Parker of the Colorado & Southern, who declared that in calling the strike, P. H. Morrissley, grand master of the Order of Railway Trainmen, was violating the union agreement made at Chicago last year. "It has been impossible to find any common ground on which the contending parties can agree," said Mr. Neil. "and I do not see that there is any more the government can do." The negotiations, he said, in so far as the government is concerned, are at an end. Telegraph Operators Walk Out. Chicago.—The strike of the telegraph operators has come. The trouble was precipitated by the Los Angeles strike which was begun some days ago. The local executive board of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union met and passed resolutions requesting the men to refuse to work with the non-union operators employed in Los Angeles. When the men were notified of this step, all operators employed in the overland division of the local office refused to work any longer with the non-union men on the other end of the wire. When this announcement was made, Night Chief Harry Price ordered all who refused to work to leave the office. He then went into other divisions and requested the men to go into the overland division. In every case he was met with a refusal until over seventy men had been sent home. The grievance committee of the union called on Price and notified him that unless every man was reinstated by midnight every union man in the office would be called out. This demand was refused and promptly at midnight by a pre-arrangement, a whistle was blown, and every operator employed in the main office with the exception of six wire and loop chiefs, including Night Manager Price and his two assistants, left their keys and with a round of cheers filed out of the office. The men employed by the company at the various newspapers had been notified of the contemplated strike and they also out work The local officials of the union stated that the day force employed by the company, most of whom belong to the union, would refuse to go to work in the morning. This will also include all branch offices throughout the city. Use ALLEN'S FOOT=EASE A powder to be shaken into the shoes. Your feet feel swollen, nervous, hot and get tired easily.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- Mandates of Fashion THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WOMAN. The day of the supremacy of the linen costume for hackabout wear is over. The trouble with linen is that it musses readily. A mussed linen is a deplorable sight, and one can't ride in railway trains without leaving traces of it on linen. Rajah and worsteds do not muss readily and are quite as cool and more pliable. As for the lightweight cloths, those that do not wrinkle easily are ideal. For years they were too heavy and warm to make comfortable traveling costumes and those for wear around town on warm days. Now, however, that the art of making them in serviceable yet smart colors, and also of lining them with silks so thin as to add hardly anything to their substance, the former objections are done away with. Then, too, while starch added to the heat of linen, there is none of that in wool and worsted, and they clean better and are suitable for a greater number of emergency cases in the gown line than are the Rajahs. Not a few so-called "jumper" or pin-foale dresses are seen on the younger matrons and girls. The jumper frocks are extremely pretty, and made by a good dressmaker are so far different from the ordinary jumper dress one sees by the dozen that the wearers of the former need not mind the similarity of idea. Besides, all sorts of coats THE HAT There is a tendency to wear the hats farther back than ever from the forehead, and added to this in many instances there is the appearance of the hats being two sizes too large and—so far as the brim is concerned—abnormally large at the back. But the eyes grow accustomed to these cloche and mushroom hats of peculiar outline. However, just at first they strike everyone in the same way—they appear to be falling off the head! Even the very small mushroom shapes, which promise to be so popular for country and seaside wear, are thrown back on the head, and when these are lined with dark taffetas, as is so often the case with the straw hats of this season, they form a most becoming aureola for the face! The circular veil is a Paris innovation. At first sight this arrangement of net and lace suggests a dainty parasol cover, but when posed on a large cloche hat it gives the most picturesque and satisfactory effects. The new veil is cut in a perfect circle, and, as I have said, large enough to cover a small parasol. It is edged SUMMER GOWNS. and skirts are copied in cheap material, so one could hardly expect the convenient and cool jumper to escape. For the woman with a limited pocket-book they are boons indeed. A special point about the summer gowns of to-day is the outline of the waistband. The short-waisted effect is still very popular, but we now rarely see a waistband with a decided point in front; the correct line is that which circles the waist with the slightest possible droop in front, but nothing approaching a point. It is, perhaps, difficult for women to avoid exaggeration, but I cannot help regretting that the point in front is beginning to be considered "incorrect." The most becoming belt a woman can wear is a very narrow one which droops distinctly in front, and which is held in place by a buckle at the back. This belt makes the waist look round and slender. Of course the pointed belt has been done to death by the misguided women who insisted last season on wearing exaggerated corsets of the straight-fronted persuasion, and who arranged their waist-bands in such a way that they made themselves look, when standing up, like ill-made dwarfs! These short-sighted persons not alone made themselves objects of polite ridicule, they also brought undeserved disgrace on an infinitely becoming style of belt. all round with pleated frills or with little quillings of narrow ribbons; or again, it is inset with fine lace all round the edge and further enriched by the introduction of several rows of very narrow black velvet ribbon. This veil may be arranged in several ways. It may be caught in at the throat, allowing the pleated frills to drape themselves round the neck in a peculiarly becoming style. At other times the veil may be left perfectly loose—hanging like a curtain all round the hat; or it may be drawn towards the back and held in place by fancy pins. Frilled veils are still in the height of their popularity, and, for wearing with flower decked hats nothing could be prettier than a long black spotted net veil edged with several pleated frills of narrow satin ribbon in a pale shade of ivory. The net should be of the finest and best quality, and the ribbon exceedingly soft and not more than half an inch wide. As to the hats displayed in our picture the top one is soft brown straw, whose brim is lined with black silk and then caught against the crown by a big and defyly tied bow of the same glace. This particular model is an admirable example of the smart simplicity which is so desirable for morning, and traveling and holiday wear. The hat in the middle is a fascinating cloche hat, whose white net is patterned with shadowy pink roses and trails of wee forget-me-nots, its gauged fulness being finally bordered by two little frills edged with Valenciennes lace. For its further decoration there is tied right across the front of the full crown a bow of pink silk ribbon with a cluster of roses and buds in the same lovely shade, caught in the center with the prettiest possible float. The third hat displayed is fashioned of white Valenclennes net, the transparency of the down-dipped brim being bordered with a broad band of black straw, over which fall the lace-edged handkerchief points of the Valenclennes drapery velling the crown while then, tied in front, is a many-looped bow of the same filmsy and decorative fabric. "Really? Ah! I suppose she was thinking how soon he would leave her." "Either that or 'how much.'"—Phil adelphia Press. $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 You Know Our Price For Men $2.

C.—Fourteen hundred dollars was the price paid for an Indian girl, nine years old, at a big potlatch at Albert Bay. Another maiden, about 18 years old, who evidently has white blood in her veins, brought $1,000 on the open market. The money in both cases went into the general fund of the potlatch. Two thousand Tsimpseans are in the gathering, and, judging from the piles of $20 gold pieces, blankets, furs and other articles, $30,000 has been donated to the general fund. There was a touch of romance in the sale of the nine-year-old Indian girl. Two warriors had journeyed far in their canoes to get the much coveted beauty. One was a grizzled old warrior and the other a youth, selecting a wife for the first time. Bids for the girl went up steadily, and at last the limit for the youth was reached, when the quotation climbed to $1,400, and the damsel was knocked down to the old veteran, who is at the festival with his wife and family of a dozen or so children. The girl who was sold for $1,000 was secured by a young Indian who was looking for a wife. Some months ago these auctions were reported to the Dominion officials at Ottawa, and it was declared that energetic steps were being taken to suppress them, but from latest accounts it appears that nothing has been done to stamp out the evil. DROPS FIRE IN U. S. MAIL BOX. Small Boy Sets Fire to Letters in the Nation's Capital. Washington.—If the citizens in the vicinity of Eleventh and C streets, northeast, fall to get receipts for checks they mailed, or in case they do not receive answers to certain letters, let them not say "thief" or blame the post office department, for the contents of a mail box in that locality were burned. About 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon a splendidly bad little boy in that neighborhood, who is not known, extracted a handful of matches from his mother's kitchen. He had great sport scratching them on the wall for a while, but that palled on him. Then he tried lighting them with his teeth, but the sulphur was found to be indigestible, and he began burning paper, but he was chased away by good little boys. At last, impelled by some strange freak, he lighted several of the matches in true Irish fashion, and, after giving the flames a good start within his hands, dropped them in a letter box. He waited a moment, then dropped some more, and after a while a few more. As the first curls of smoke issued forth the mischievous youngster ran away. The smoke attracted the attention of Guy Neelee, a druggist at Eleventh and C streets, who extinguished the fire, but not until 20 letters had been destroyed. No arrests have been made. MUST NOT ASSAULT GHOST. At Least, in Germany the Offense May Bring Imprisonment. Berlin.—A citizen of Wasungen named Bach has just pleaded vainly to the court of criminal appeal at Meiningen his right to attack a ghost. The story begins on December 31, when a fellow citizen named Koenig told Bach if he would share his night vigil as watchman he would see a flickering light in the churchyard, as Koenig had done for years when the old year died. Bach went armed with a revolver and sword. He saw a spectral light and ran to the churchyard, where he hailed a dim figure. Recelving no reply, he slashed with his sword. The wounds caused the ghost to cry for mercy. The ghost proved to be a man who, influenced by an ancient superstition, burned branches of a certain tree in the churchyard to immunize himself and others from supposed evils. Bach was subsequently sentenced to six months' imprisonment for wounding him. He appealed on the ground that he really attacked a specter and it was merely an accident that he hurt a man. The judges seem to have held that even a ghost is entitled to protection, and the sentence was confirmed. Greed Fatal to Blacksnake. Altoona, Pa.—Martin Crissman, a Slinking valley farmer, killed a blacksnake six feet three inches long. The cries of a rabbit attracted his attention to a clump of bushes, where he found the snake trying to swallow bunnle. Three rabbits and two birds were found in the snake when it was cut open. Farmers report that snakes are more plentiful in the region this summer than for many years. They claim that, owing to the many spring rains, there were no forest fires, and the usual number of reptiles escaped roasting. The copperhead is unusually numerous. Novel Scheme Pays Well A young Philadelphia woman of good family but reduced means, who has retained an extensive acquaintance among her aristocratic associates, has hit upon a novel and original means of earning a livelihood by the use of her voice and excellent reading ability. She has combined some of her wealthy friends of advanced years into a reading circle, who listen to her over their telephones for about an hour a day and pay her generously by the week for her entertainment.
