Washington is now passing through its annual season of torrid whataer as well as that of a most pronounced social inactivity. The public school contingent in considerable numbers has taken itself to the country, seashore and mountain, for rest and recreation and will doubtless return a few weeks hence invigorated and reinspired for the work of another term. Of course there are a great many with whom the uncertainties of the last session have operated as a deterrent in the matter of taking on unnecessary expense and these, not a few, remain quietly at home and through music at the public parks, trolley partys and an occasional excursion, contrive to pass vacation days quiet pleasurable and happily. Negro Day at the Jamestown Exposition, Saturday August 3, attracted a large number of Negroes from Washington and cities further North. These too, were augmented by the large number of educators and other race workers who were already on the ground in attendance on the annual conference at the Hampton Institute. Negro Day was in many important respects one of the most successful special days celebrated since the "Expo" was opened to the public. It is stated that fully 10,000 Negroes alone gave evidence by their presence of their indomitable race pride, unfaltering faith in its continued progress and success and a convincing assurance of the impossibility of discouraging them in their forward and upward trend. In writing of this occasion, R. W. Thompson, the General Correspondent says "The bright and particular star of the occasion of course was Dr. Booker T. Washington. His unusually able and vigorous address of two hours covered the broadest range of current race topics and was received with many hearty evidences of approval. It breathed the spirit of hope in every paragraph and the keynote of his eloquence delivered was the priceless value of grasping our opportunities to demonstrate to the world that we are capable of absorbing and turning to practi- cal account the rich resources at the command of the enterprising and industrious." Physians Day will be August 30 and the National Association of Negro Physicians which meets in Baltimore on the 28 and 29 will be taken to Jamestown on a special excursion by steamer Jane Moseley, starting after adjournment on the evening of August 29th. Dr. A. M. Curtis in charge of the medical display in the Negro building, operates a completely modern and up to date hospital and in a most practical and painstaking way, shows the excellent results to be obtained through efficient equipment in emergency cases. The Niagara Movement of which Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois is president and which has for its object the elevation of the Negro to the highest possible civic status in the Republic, held a notably successful meeting at the Shiloh Baptist church a few evenings ago. A number of good speeches were made in line with the purposes of the organization and a liberal collection taken up for the cause. The ladies auxiliary of which Mrs. L. M. Hershaw is president recently conducted a highly enjoyable out-door party on the lawn of Mr. H. P. Slaughter, which also netted a considerable sum for the same purpose. As an incident of this affair it is said that a lady remarked to another over their refreshments, 'that it seemed singular that there were no dark persons present,' whereupon the other promptly suggested that it would be better not to comment upon that as it would be so easy for some one desiring to injure the movement to interpret even so innocent a remark as implying that the association desired the affiliation of persons of light complexion only. "You know added she, this question of color is a mighty touchy one with most of us." Apropos of this incident, the writer was much amused not long since while walking along Mc Pherson Square, in front of the historic old Presbyterian church. One of these great cumbersome DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1907. sight-seeing autos was also passing at the time. The conductor in process of describing the different places of interest to the tourist came to the little pressed brick church, when he yelled through the megaphone, "This is the oldest nigger Baptist church in the city. Red without and black within." The black doubtless referred to the color of its membership. As a matter of facts there are probably not a dozen dark persons who attend that church. Not that they are unwelcome but it just happens that way. Of course no one who is familiar with the church would think of describing Dr. Grinke and his followers as Baptist. The auto conductor created a laugh among the strangers, and that was his aim, caring not what he said or how gross a misrepresentation he might make. "Roosevelt and the Negro" is the magnetic title of a public letter issued by Prof. Kelley Miller of the Howord University and simultaneously published in the morning papers of Washington: It will probably be as widely read and discussed as other interesting papers such as "As to the Leopards' Spots" and his replys to Tom Dixon and John Temple Graves. The letter deals with the attitude of the President on the Negro question from before San Juan Hill up to Brownsville and is a calm, sincere and eloquent disquisition on what in the language of the Turf would be called "a reversal of form" on the part of the Executive. The paper to be properly appreciated and thoroughly digested should be read and reread, for only so is it possible to grasp the complete and exact service which the author has performed for the race. It represents the protest which the most intelligent and conservative Negroes have voiced, both in formal meetings and private converse, as to the apparent lack of friendliness on the part of the President, as well as the wail of sorrow, fear and resentment, as it comes from the hut and cabin of the ignorant and lowly. Prof. Miller has said more and to better effect in this article of his, than all that has previously been written and said on the subject. This is perhaps a very strong statement, but I believe a calm survey of the procession of facts and incidents which have linked Mr. Roosevelt and the Negro in historical prominence, will more than warrrant the assertion. The masses and individuals who spoke in censure during the progress of events were urged by angry passions to bitterness and invective and halted not to give a Continued to fourth page. ENCOURAGING Remarks to the Race by Booker T. Washington in his Address to the National Negro Business League. Logical Advice as to How to Successfully Build a Race. In his speech before the National Negro Business League last week Booker T. Washington said: Despite much talk the Negro is not discouraged, but is going forward. The race owns today an acreage of land that is equal to the combined acreage of Holland and Belgium. Negroes own more land, more houses, more stores, more banks, than ever before in our past history. We are learning that no race can occupy a soil unless that race can get as much out of that soil as any other race gets out of it. Soil, sunshine, rain and the laws of trade have no regard for race or color. We are learning that we must be builders if we would succeed. In proportion as we learn this lesson, in the same proportion will we find help in the South and in the North. We must not be content to be merely tolerated in communities, we must make ourselves needed. The great economic laws that govern the universe know no racial or color lines. The forces of nature will respond as readily to the hand of the Chinaman, the Italian or the Negro as any other race. Man may discriminate, but nature and the economic laws that control commerce and markets will not and can not. Nature does not hide her wealth from a black; the rewards of usefulness are open to all, and herein lies the great chance for the Negro race. Underneath all political, educational and even moral and religious progress there are certain economic laws which every race must comply with that would be classed among the successful races of the earth. From this law there is no escape for blacks or whites, red or brown. There used to be a question as to whether or not the Negro could be educated—that is, in the ordinary sense in which we understand education There is no longer any such question in the minds of any people whose opinions are worth considering. There is a question yet remaining and one that is constantly being debated as to what extent the Negro as a race is using and is capable of using education so as to increase his productive ability and in distributing the products of earth among the markets of the world. I repeat that during the last forty years the American Negro has convinced the world that he could be educated in literature, science, mathmetics, agriculture, mechan- ics, household arts and in the professions. We have won this victory not by depending upon empty talk, not by depending upon abstract argument, not by abuse of some one, but by actually doing the thing, by filling every public school, every college, every industrial and professional school that has been opened for us. We have won this victory by having living tangible object lessons in every part of the United States that within themselves were indisputable evidences of our ability to receive education. When proof is asked of our ability to receive education we can point to the little bareheaded and barefooted pickaninny in the Mississippi log cabin or we can point to the Negro youth in cap and gown in Oxford University (England). So much is settled, but as I have said, there is still debate and question as to what extent we have ability to apply our education to all concerns of common life—to bring to bear the force of our education upon the soil, mechanics, household arts, manufacturing, trades and in the matters that concern plain everyday living. Education may be valuable or worthless. Gold may be valuable or worthless. Gold touching the markets of the world is valuable, a bushel of gold dollars in a boat in mid-ocean lying at the feet of a hungry man, is worthless. Gold has got to touch something to impart real value to it. Education has got to touch something in the same way; has got to quicken something into life to be of value. Now one of the objects sought to be accomplished by the National Negro Business League is to help the Negro race convince the world that it can not only receive education, but it can use it in getting most out of the soil, out of mechanics, honsekeeping, business and commerce. In this case as in the matter of education it is going to be the actual doing of the thing, not talking about it, that is going to convince the world. In meeting this need the National Negro Business League has already more than justified its eight years of existence. In the first place, it is teaching the race self reliance it is teachins the race that success is to be found in one's own community, and not in the seat of government at Washington. Let me give you an illustration of the influence of this organization: Before it came into NO. 48. existence there were less than half a dozen Negro banks owned and controlled by our people, now there are 34 and 10 of these are in the State of Mississippi; the race owns and controls 134 drug stores; almost every town and city now has its grocery stores, notion stores, dry goods stores owned and conducted by our people. Out of this organization has grown 457 local Negro Business Leagues scattered throughout the country, which are exerting the same kind of influence in their communities as the National Business League. But above all this it is the spirit of our people and the determination of our people to prove to the world our usefulness as citizens in any community where we reside that is encouraging. The great battle cry of our race which should be sounded in every part of the land, is "overcome evil with good," overcome failure with success, overcome injustice with usefulness, overcome doubt with high endeavor, overcome shiftlessness with high achievements. There is something in human nature that compels respect for success regardless of races or color. Most important of all, do not make the mistake of believing that mere agitation or condemnation of wrong, demanding rights, or defending will within themselves, push forward our cause. All these considerations have a place and a right place in the economy of race building, but these elements within themselves unsupported and not based upon more fundamental matters will leave us wandering in the wilderness many years hence. If history teaches any one lesson more thoroughly than another, it is that successful effort in constructive, productive work is what counts in getting a race upon its feet. I have thus plainly indicated what our duty and policy as a people should be others outside of the race can encourage and assist us in certain regards, but we, ourselves, must be the prime movers. Should I interpret and analyze the feelings and ambitions of the black man in America it is this: He is not seeking to dominate over others in matters of government, nor is he seeking to intermingle with others in strictly social matters where he is not wanted or asked, but he is asking that in every community and state where he resides that equal justice shall be meted out to him in the courts and else where, and that at all times his family and property shall be protected by those who administer the laws. This, I believe, in the end, the great American people will grant to ten millions of their citizens. The next session of the National Negro Business League will be held in Baltimore, Md., in 1908. TAFT FIRES FIRST SHOT TAKES ISSUE WITH COMMONER BRYAN AND BELIEVES ROOSE- VELT'S POLICY RIGHT. QUALIFIES OWNERSHIP WOULD HAVE CAPITAL ORGANIZE TO PROTECT INTERESTS SAME AS LABOR. Favors tariff revision, but would postpone action until after presidential campaign to avoid cry of political capital. Declares greatest present evil of country is in management of railways. Favors government supervision, but not government ownership. Says interstate commerce commission should have power to classify merchandise for transportation. Justifies radical measures in railroad legislation. Sympathizes with Bryan in latter's wish that some of the magnates connected with unlawful trusts be sent to prison. Declares attitude of government should be same to combinations of capital as to combinations of labor formed for bettering conditions of wageworker. Believes graduated federal inheritance tax useful means of raising funds. Defends Roosevelt's policies and declares charge of Socialism against them absurd. Says Bryan's proposed national referendum absurd, and that commoner seems to favor law to convict peaceful wealthy and pass by lawless poor. ************************** Columbus, Ohio.—William H. Taft, secretary of war, made what he was pleased to term his "political confession of faith," at Memorial hall, under the auspices of the Buckeye Republican club. The auditorium, which has a seating capacity of more than 5,000, was packed to the doors. The address was notable from the fact that it is regarded as the platform upon which he will make his campaign for the Republican nomination for President. Special interest was manifested in Secretary Taft's utterances on the tariff. He reiterated his previous declarations in favor of revision, and declared that it would be both unwise and unsafe for the Republican party to fail to pledge itself to revise the Dingley bill as soon after the next presidential election as possible. Taft also declared in favor of imprisonment of individuals responsible for violations of the anti-trust law, and for the giving or accepting of rebates, as more effective than fines. His defense of President Roosevelt's policies evoked enthusiastic applause. Secretary Taft spoke in part as follows: "I have been invited by your body to discuss the national issues. Some of these involve the abuses over which the public conscience has been aroused and the proper remedy for their removal. "The first, and possibly the greatest abuse, has been in the management of the arterial system of the country which the interstate railroads form. Any unjust discrimination in the terms upon which transportation of freight or passengers is afforded an individual or a locality paralyzes and withers the business of the individual or the locality exactly as the binding of the arteries and veins leading to a member of the human body destroys its life. Rate Law Falls Short. "The rate law does not go far enough. The practice under it has already disclosed the necessity for new amendments and will doubtless suggest more. Such is the true method—the empirical and tentative method—of securing proper remedies for a new evil. "The classification of merchandise for transportation is a most important matter in rate fixing, for by a transfer from one class to another the rate is changed and may work injustice. With the power of rate fixing, it would seem, should go the power in the commission to classify and prescribe rules for uniform classification by all railroads. "Recent revelations have emphasized the pernicious effect of the so-called over-capitalization of railroads which aids unscrupulous stock manipulators in disposing of railway securities at unreasonably high prices to innocent buyers. "A railroad company engaged in interstate commerce should not be permitted, therefore, to issue stocks or bonds and put them on sale in the market except after a certificate by the interstate commerce commission that the securities are issued with the approval of the commission for a legitimate railroad purpose. "The contention on behalf of the railroads, already noticed, that such supervision as the rate bill and these suggested amendments afford, is socialistic and tends to government ownership, is utterly without basis. "They discharge a public function. They have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The remedy for the evils must be radical and effective. If it is not so, then we may certainly expect that the movement toward government ownership will become a formidable one that can not be stayed. "Opposes Government Ownership." "I am opposed to government ownership— "First, because existing government railways are not managed with either the efficiency or economy of privately managed roads and the rates charged are not as low, and therefore not as beneficial to the public. "Second, because it would involve an expenditure of certainly twelve billions of dollars to acquire the interstate railways and the creation of an enormous national debt. "Third, because it would place in the hands of a reckless executive a power of control over business and politics that the imagination can hardly conceive, and would expose our popular institutions to danger. "The movement of competing railway companies to consolidate arose originally from fear that the antitrust act forbade them to make agreements as to uniform tariffs. If they were now permitted to make such agreements subject to the approval of the interstate commerce commission, such a tendency would lose much of its force. Restrain Trusts by Injunction. "Another and perhaps the most effective method in the past for an unlawful trust to maintain itself has been to secure secret rebates or other unlawful advantage in transportation by threat of withholding business from the carrier. "This is undoubtedly what has enabled the Standard Oil Company and the Sugar trust and other great combinations to reap an illegal harvest and to drive all competitors from the field. "If by asserting complete federal control over the interstate railways of the country we can suppress secret rebates and discriminations of other kinds we shall have gone a long way in the suppression of the unlawful trusts. "Mr. Bryan asks me what I would do with the trusts: "I answer that I would restrain unlawful trusts with all the efficiency of injunctive process and would punish with all the severity of criminal prosecution every attempt on the part of aggregated capital through the illegal means I have described to suppress competition. "The attitude of the government toward combinations of capital for the reduction in the cost of production should be exactly the same as toward the combinations of labor for the purpose of bettering the conditions of the wage worker and of increasing his share of the joint profit of capital and labor. Differs With Bryan. "Mr. Bryan's method of suppressing unlawful trusts would be to require every person, partnership or corporation engaged in interstate traffic to take out a federal license, and by withholding such licenses from illegal trusts he would make them impossible It is probable that a statute embodying this plan could be drawn which would stand the test of the constitution. It would, however, have to contain some provision for ultimate judicial determination of those applicants for license who were violating the anti-trust law, and thus involve the same litigation we now have. "One of the results of the conditions and evils which I have been describing has been the concentration of enormous wealth in the hands of few men. "Federal action for a federal end may legitimately have an indirect effect to aid the states in reforms peculiarly within their cognizance. "When, therefore, the government revenues need addition, or readjustment I believe a federal graduated inheritance tax to be a useful means of raising government funds. It is easily and certainly collected. "The incidence of taxation is heaviest on those best able to stand it, and indirectly, while not placing undue restriction on individual effort, it would moderate the enthusiasm for the amassing of immense fortunes. "A graduated income tax would also discourage the accumulation of enormous wealth, but the Supreme Court has held an income tax not to be a valid exercise of power by the federal government. The objection to it from a practical standpoint is its inquisitorial character and the premium it puts on perilry. "In times of great national need, however, an income tax would be of great assistance in furnishing means to carry on the government, and it is not free from doubt how the Supreme Court with changed membership would view a new income tax law under such conditions. Supports Roosevelt's Ideas. "Mr. Roosevelt believes in the necessity for a strong government that can and will make both rich and poor obey the law, and he would have the ocers charged with its maintenance render due account of their stewardship to their masters, the people. Mr. Roosevelt knows no favorite in matters of lawlessness, be he rich or poor, corporation president or member of a labor union. The courts must be strong enough to restrain them all. "Mr. Roosevelt believes our present government the best possible one for us, and in every way adapted to the genius of our people. He has the utmost confidence in the capacity of the people through their representatives and by the means provided in the constitution by our fathers to remedy the evils that arise in our material progress. "Mr. Bryan's whole system of remedies, on the other hand, for the evils that both Mr. Roosevelt and he and many others recognize, is based on his distrust of the honesty, courage and impartiality of the individual as an agent on behalf of the people to carry on any part of government and rests on the proposition that our present system of representative government is a failure. "He would have the government ownership of railways, because he does not believe it is possible to secure an interstate commerce commission that the 'money power' cannot and will not ultimately own. "Mr. Bryan seems to be seeking some system of administering law under which the rich wrongdoers shall be certainly restrained, while the lawless poor shall escape. He would have his judicial machinery adjusted to restrict the violations of law by a corporation, but would give freedom of action to the lawless members of a labor union. Indeed, in the constitution of Oklahoma, which he says is the greatest constitution ever written, this anomaly prevails. "HOLY WAR" IS DISGRACE MASSACRE OF DEFENSELESS MEN AND WOMEN. BLOT ON CIVILIZATION. SULTAN BRINGS HELP FRENCH AND SPANISH SOLDIERS BUTCHER MOORS AND COM- MIT ATROCITIES. Tangier, Morocco.—"Holy war" has been proclaimed by Mulal Hafid, the sultan's brother, who has been proclaimed ruler of Morocco by hordes of rebel fanatics. The rebel sultan is reported to be marching to the aid of the Arabs and Moors now besieging the French troops in Casa Blanca with a force of 10,000 men, and a desperate attack on that city is expected momentarily. The combined rebel forces, it is feared, will annihilate the French and Spanish troops and butcher all Europeans in that city. With the green banner of Moslem fanaticism raised, Mulal Hafid is stirring the whole country to a frenzy of rage against all foreigners. London.—Atrocities too horrible to mention, and which were a disgrace to the civilization they were supposed to represent are charged against the French and Spanish soldiers and sailors at Casa Blanca by W. T. Bolton, the first refugee from Casa Blanca to reach England. The whole massacre there, Bolton asserts, was deliberately arranged by the French. The invasion of Casa Blanca was so arranged as to cause the Moors to resort to violence, thus giving the invaders an excuse for shooting down helpless natives and resorting to terrible outrages against the Moors. Bolton is connected with the North African mission. He made a lengthy statement, bristling with sensational charges, which show the French and Spanish occupants of Casa Blanca in a terrible light. He said: "The conduct of the French and Spanish soldiers at Casa Blanca was a disgrace to civilization. It is almost beyond belief that such horrors as were committed by the French and Spaniards could have been done by Christian Europeans. Though my country has alliances with both France and Spain, I consider it my duty to reveal the truth, and I declare France deliberately arranged to cause the massacre at Casa Blanca as an act of petty revenge. "It was all a brutish blunder. If in the first instance France had landed 500 or 600 men to preserve order, there would not have been any massacre. There was no need for France to try to capture the town, for the Moors stood ready even to deliver the keys to France if they had been asked for, and to punish in any way agreeable to France the assassins of Europeans, all of whom were in prison." "But France landed less than 100 men, who tried to force their way into Casa Blanca, and when the Moors resisted, began shooting. "When the French got control of Casa Blanca they let in the foreign heathen. Many of the crimes committed by the soldiers are indescribable. I saw them looting; I saw them carrying away young Moorish girls; committing unmentionable crimes right in the streets; I saw them massacre wounded and helpless natives. One Moor I saw emerge, unarmed, from a saint's tomb, and try to escape, but he was shot down. While he was helpless on the ground a soldier rushed up and beat out his brains. "Orders were issued that all natives carrying white flags must be safeguarded, but the order was useless, for the soldiers never looked for flags, but shot to kill every time they saw a human being. I saw one Moor run the gauntlet of forty bullets before he fell. French officers at Casa Blanca are trying to excuse excesses by saying the soldiers got out of control, but it is not so. The officers made no attempt to control the men, but simply allowed them a free hand. "France has disgraced herself as a civilized power. She allowed 1,000 defenseless people to be massacred. "Stories told me by the Moors are hearttrending. One Moorish merchant said: 'My young son is dead. My three daughters are worse than dead.' "This is a short history of many families. What I saw will go down with me to my grave as too horrible even to think of. "The French have proved themselves totally incompetent to govern Morocco. If Germany or England had been compelled to take Casa Blanca they would have done so with scarcely any blood-shed." Paris.—The Moroccan situation is regarded here as having assumed a distinctly more serious aspect. The ferment in the interior of Morocco, the proclamation of Mulai Hafid, the sultan's brother, as sultan of a section of the rebels, and the appearance of a new Moorish army before Casa Blanca, have created the fear that the whole country will soon be ablaze with fanatism. General Drude, commander of the French forces at Casa Blanca, has now practically asked for reinforcements, pointing out that his men are worn out with being constantly under arms, and that he is losing advantage gained by his success because the small force at his disposal prevents him from following up his victory. The government appreciates the justice of the arguments, and, although orders to forward additional troops to Morocco has not been issued up to noon today, the government is expected to decide on this step before night. Over 1,000 colonial infantry, cavalry and troops of other arms have been mobilized at Oran and ready to embark on board transports, and other transports and warships are in readiness at Mediterranean ports to sail immediately for Morocco. GREELEY'S BIGGEST DAY. Harvest Festival Draws Immense Crowd and Everybody Happy. Greeley, Colo.—One of the greatest crowds that ever gathered in Greeley was here to witness the annual harvest festival parade. It is estimated that not less than 5000 people were on the streets along the line of march. The parade this year was fully up to the expectations and was one of the best ever seen here. There were over 200 floats, vehicles or exhibits in line. Five bands and several drum corps supplied music. The parade itself was fully two miles long and the line of march was about four miles through the principal business and residence streets. Special trains were run from Denver, Cheyenne and from points on the Colorado & Southern, each train bringing hundreds of visitors. Practically every store in the city has windows decorated with products of the soil, while the rest of the town is decorated gayly in bunting of white and yellow, the festival colors. Over $500 was paid out in cash prizes to exhibitors in the parade. Scott Bullard was the heaviest prize winner, taking a second prize for the best single driver, first prize for the best single decorated carriage and the special prize offered by the Cheyenne frontier day committee for the best turnout. This is a handsome silver loving cup. Other prize winners were: J. S. Gale, for best single driver; Mrs. J. Wylie, second, best decorated single carriage; J. C. Harris, third, best in the same class. The Woodmen of the World won first prize in lodge floats. The Elks won second and the Japanese Labor society the third. F. H. Badger won the first automobile prize, and the Clayton Lumber Company won the first prize in the business men's floats. Bomb Throwers Kill Two. Madrid.—The explosion of a bomb at Lisbon, which killed two persons and fatally injured two others, brought to light a plot hatched by Republican conspirators to assassinate King Charles and Premier Franco and to seize the government of Portugal. The police allege that the head of the conspiracy is Jesse Bettencourt, a medical student. In his apartments they found a number of letters and papers which resulted in the arrest of thirty Republican leaders. They have been placed on ships, and are heavily guarded. Bettencourt lives in the tenement district of the city, and his rooms have been headquarters for Republican agitators and conspirators. The explosion occurred in Bettencourt's room and the men killed and those injured were conspirators against the King and govern ment. The noise of the explosion was terrific, and when the police rushed in they found the room a wreck. They made a search and found many documents telling of the conspiracy against the King and premier, and other conspiracies. Wholesale arrests are expected. Those arrested will be tried in secret and either executed or exiled for life. The revolutionary movement has been growing in Portugal ever since the King refused to abdicate. Had not the bomb accidentally exploded the King would certainly have been assasinated, is the opinion of the police. Love Has Found a Way. Cheyenne, Wyo.—When Robert W. Miskimmins, a pioneer ranchman of LaGrange, Wyo., and Mrs. Dalia Green of Napa, Calif., were married in this city recently, a remarkable romance found its culmination. Mr. Miskimmins met his new wife nearly fifty years ago and fell in love with her. She rejected him then and later he married her sister. He reared a family of five boys and four girls, all of whom are now married. About eight years ago his first wife died and he began a correspondence with Mrs. Green, his dead wife's sister, who had also married and had los' her husband. As a result of this correspondence Mrs. Green arrived here from Napa and the couple met again for the first time in thirty years. The couple will make their home at Mr. Miskimmins' ranch at La Grange Mr. Miskimmins is about 70 years of age. His bride is several years younger. Killed by a Grizzly Bear. Evanston, Wyo.—James Chapman, a union Pacific engineer, was killed by a monster grizzly bear in the vicinity of Big Piney, north of here, while hunting with two companions. Chapman became separated from his companions and came upon the lair of a big grizzly in which were two cubs. He laid down his rifle in order to capture the cubs, when the old bear suddenly came upon the scene. The ground in the vicinity of where Chapman's mangleled body was found by his companions shows that Chapman un doubtedly put up a desperate fight, but was literally torn, clawed and chewed to death by the ferocious animal. Chapman has resided in Evanston for several years and leaves a family A Herculean Task Denver.—Miss Katherine L. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction, who is ex-officio the state librarian, has undertaken the herculean task of replacing a large number of territorial reports and records in the state library. Reports for the territorial days of Colorado have been misplaced, destroyed or were never in the library, and Miss Craig will appeal to the pioneers of the state to donate to the library any such old reports they may have. Ask for More Pay. Victor, Colo.—A petition for an increase of wages of 50 cents a day will be presented to General Manager J Kurie of the Portland mine by the eighty miners employed as timbermen and timber helpers on that property. The men are now getting $3.50 and $5 a day. The reason for the petition is the re-establishment of the card system at the Portland mine. CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT. At That, He Had Had Only What the Doctor Ordered. A Philadelphia physician says that not long ago he was called to see an Irishman, and among other directions told him to take an ounce of whisky three times a day. A day or so later he made another visit and found the man, while not so sick, undeniably drunk. "How did this happen?" the physician demanded of Pat's wife, who was hovering about solicitously. "Sure, dochter, an' tis just what you ordered, an' no more, that he had," she protested. "I said one ounce of whisky three times a day; that could not make him drunk," the physician said. "He has had much more than that." "Divil a drop more, dochter, dear," she declared. "Sure an' ol didn't know just how much an ounce was so ol wint to the drug store an' asked, an' the lad—he's a broth of a boy, too—told me that an ounce was 16 drams and Pat has had thim regular, an' no more!"—Harper's Weekly. The Manchester canal was built at a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight rates for a distance of 35 miles, and, while it did not prove a good interest bearing investment on such a large expenditure, its indirect and more permanent benefits are said to have warranted it. Germany has 3,000 miles of canal, carefully maintained, besides 7,000 miles of other waterway. France, with an area less than we would consider a large state, has 3,000 miles of canal; and in the northern part, where the canals are most numerous, the railways are more prosperous. England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium are all contemplating further extension and improvement of their canal systems.—Century Magazine Her Secret Sorrow "That woman over there has some hidden sorrow," declared the sympathetic one, as she came in and took her seat at a table not far away. "I have often noticed her. See. Her companion orders everything she could possibly want, and yet she sits there silent with a face like a mask. I am awfully sorry for her." "Don't you worry," advised her pessimistic friend. "That's her husband with her. She's bored, that's all." A Big Loser. Mrs. Myles—I see the 24-year-old son of a London dry goods man is a bankrupt, having managed to get rid of $2,100,000 since he came of age. Mrs. Styles—Oh, well, boys will be boys! Mrs. Myles—Well, this looks as if a boy had an ambition to be a bridge whist player. Never Touched Him. "I have brought back the lawn mower I bought of you last week" said the man with the side whiskers. "You said you would return my money if it wasn't satisfactory."

Left Army for Pork Trade Aladar Stolincki, an aristocratic lieutenant of a Hungarian hussar regiment, has resigned his commission to become an apprentice to a pork butcher in Budapest. He says he can not live on his pay—$400 a year—and that he considers a man of intelligence and energy can do well in the pork trade. FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts A Body Balance People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourishment than one pound of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means predigested, transformed into a form of sugar, ready for immediate assimilation. People in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc., right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food is that its use wiH reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body in a condition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape-Nuts famous. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road: Wellville," in pkgs In the September Century.

MENU FOR A PICNIC SIMPLE BUT SATISFYING OUT. DOOR REPAST. Chipped Beef with Cream Gravy Cooked Over Campfire—Griddle Cakes of Sour Milk—Jumbles with Fruit. A good idea for a picnic adjacent to buildings where things did not have to be carried far was recently carried out successfully, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. While the menu is not elaborate, everything being fresh and wholesome, the repast was voted a great success. Permission was given to build a fire in a grove. A large iron frypan was carried out, in which to make chipped beef with cream gravy. Coffee was made also, and ham was served cold. Good, fresh bread and sweet butter and Saratoga chips went with these, and the repast was completed by fresh berries and baked custards. It was all good farm fare, nothing expensive, and yet every one said it was a nice and pleasant little picnic, without much preparation. Good sour milk or cream should be utilized for griddle cakes or gingerbread. Because in the south it is hard to keep milk, servants from that section do not know how to use it as well as the cooks from Ireland and Great Britain, who evolve so many nice breakfast and tea cakes from the otherwise waste product of the dairy. The old stone springhouses about Philadelphia are inviting with great pails of cream in the clear, cold water. One recently seen was within the very city, a spot soon to be destroyed, and oh, the pity, to see the cool stone springhouse and the great stone house give way to modern, cheap brick rows, without grounds. Lemon and rose water together are especially nice for rich jumples, to eat with fruit. For this purpose a fine plain white cake or lady cake is also suitable. It is a mistake to serve chocolate cake and little cakes with chocolate icing, with everything of decided flavor. This is right with blanc manges, cornstarch and vanilla ice cream, but out of place with high-flavored fruits. Black raspberries are now in market. Many persons prefer the flavor to that of the red raspberries, but dislike them because the seeds are apt to be coarser. They are nice stewed and served very cold. Although this is not a cherry year, provided you can spare some cherries, sour ones, the combination will be found nice. Like al: stewed fruits, the juice is the best part. Fruit juice strained off and served on chipped ice is delicious at this or any other season. Use wine-glasses or small tumblers. Chicken Hash. Chop cold chicken, roast or broiled, and molisten with a little gravy or hot cream; season with a little salt and pepper. Cut up two green peppers, and take out all the seeds and chop very fine. Put all together in a saucepan, and gently simmer till the peppers are cooked, adding more gravy or cream if the hash becomes dry. Have ready a large cup of hot mashed potato; put the chicken on a hot platter, and the potato evenly, in a border around the edge, and bits of parsley outside. Those who do not care for peppers can omit them, and when the dish is ready the potato can be sprinkled with chopped parsley.—Harper's Bazar. Grandmother's Ginger Bread One large cup molasses (N. O. is the best), two heaping teaspoonfuls soda, beat well together, for here lies the whole secret; then add two teaspoonfuls ginger, one-half teaspoonful salt, one cup water, beat all together, then stir in your flour, enough to make a not too stiff dough; beat well and last add one-half cup of melted butter or lard; stir again.

Denver.—Will the figure of an Indian be used on the ploneers' monument to be erected in Denver? That is the question that is being settled at a series of conferences between the members of the real estate exchange monument committee and Frederick MacMonnies, the sculptor who designed the figure. Mr. MacMonnies arrived unexpectedly from Paris to confer with the committee over the design. There has been some objection to the Indian figure, and there is a possibility that the artist will be asked to make a new design. Mr. MacMonnies, however, likes the Indian monument and will not give up his chosen theme without a hard fight. He said that if the committee insisted on a change he would make an entirely new design, as it would be impossible, from an artistic standpoint, to substitute something else for the Indian and retain the other parts of the original plan. Furthermore, the sculptor intimated that if he and the committee could not agree on a design that accorded with his artistic ideas, he would have nothing to do with the monument at all. Some time ago J. S. Flower, chairman of the monument committee, sent out 1,100 circular letters to pioneers and Sons of Colorado, asking for expressions of opinion on the Indian design. Three hundred replies were received, of which 195 were favorable to the Indian design. Mr. MacMonnies is the designer of many notable works in America and Europe. Among the best known of his American designs are the fountain at the Chicago World's Fair, the McClellan monument at Washington, the Nathan Hale monument at West Point and the entrance to Prospect park at Brooklyn. Mr. MacMonnies called on Mayor Speer in company with Mr. Reed, president of the art commission, and talked over the proposed design with the chief executive of the city. It is believed that there will be no further opposition to the Indian supreme. Changing the dominant figure of the monument would, in the estimation of the sculptor, impair the whole. Negroes May Colonize. Colorado Springs, Colo.-The following are the new officers elected for the ensuing year by the Negro Business Men's League of Colorado and New Mexico, which closed its annual convention here. President, H. F. Bray of Pueblo; first vice president, Dr. J. H. P. West brook of Denver; second vice president, Mrs. C. E. Fleming of Colorado Springs; recording secretary, W. A. Gatewood of Eastonville; corresponding secretary, J. R. Bates of Pueblo; treasurer, M. B. Brooks of Pueblo; state organizer, F. M. Roberts of Colorado Springs, first colored graduate of Colorado college; executive committee, E. P. Booze of Colorado Springs, chairman, O. T. Jackson of Boulder, C. A. Franklin of Denver, C. E. Jackson of Aspen, G. W. Gross of Swink, T. O. Mason of Albuquerque, New Mexico W. H. Prince and T. H. Protro, both of Pueblo. It was resolved to establish a commercial agency similar to those of Dun and Bradstreet and that the secretary of each local league act as local agent for the commercial institution in order to ascertain the assets and commercial standing of all negroes in the two states. A committee of three members will be appointed to confer with the State Land Board with regard to the vacant land in Colorado, this information to be sent to negroes in all parts of the country who may desire to locate here. Society Favorite Kills Himself. Pueblo.—With the bedclothes pulled over his head, scorched and powder-burned, in his lifeless hand a revolver, through his mouth a bullet hole, the body of John I. Scott, twenty-five years of age, handsome, rich, a society lion and ranch owner, was found in bed in his room at the Grand hotel here Thursday. Scott had been drinking heavily, it is said, and had spent his money without stint lately. The last seen of him was Wednesday morning after he had entertained a large party of friends in a cafe the night before. Money troubles is the cause assigned. Scott came here Tuesday morning from Colorado Springs. He drank all day. While standing in the hotel bar chatting with the bartender he told the attendant he had been spending too much money and that he was in debt. He said he had spent $1,500 at the Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs within a week. Scott was well known in society circle in Denver and in this city. With Leonard Curtis, son of a millionaire, he owned a ranch near Swallows, Colorado. He told friends he would have to sell his interest in this to pay his obligations, although he seemed never to-lack money. For many years his family had been prominent in Pittsburg. His father, who died lately, was the law partner of Congressman Dale Zell of that state, and was wealthy. His widowed mother still lives there. Grand Lake Regatta. Grand Lake, Colo.—Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed the Grand Lake yacht races, Highhall, entered by Vice Commodore R. C. Campbell, defeated the Dorothy II, entered by Commodore H. W. Bryant Thursday. The Highhall was captained by George Fletcher, with former United States Senator T. M. Patterson and R. C. Campbell as his crew, and State Senator Wright as a passenger. The Dorothy carried Commodore Bryant and H. O. Huston. The Highhall finished the five and three-quarters miles' course in two hours and four minutes. The Dorothy II. came in nine minutes and six seconds later. The Jessica and Lulu, the Langley and Gregg entries, were caught in a calm and were out of the race. The day was an ideal one for yachting. WILL PLEAD NOT GUITY REEVES AND KISER, BOULDER SUSPECTS, WILL REPUIATE CONFESSION, IT IS SAID. TODECLAREINNOCENCE ATTORNEYS RETAINED, AND STATE WILL BE COMPELLED TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE. Boulder, Colo.,J. W. Reeves and Frank Kiser will plead not guilty to the charge of murder, and, in all probability, to the charge of arson, when their preliminary hearing and trial are held, and they will repudiate their alleged confession and compel the state to submit evidence at the trial, according to W. G. Houston, one of the attorneys for Reeves and Kiser The two men are still in solitary confinement in the Boulder county jail, where they have been incarcerated since Tuesday night. Aside from the officers no one has seen either of them with the exception of their attorney, W. G. Houston, Mrs. Nellie Kiser and Constable Joe Bailey. Thursday morning the latter served a process on Kiser, in which he attached for a local merchandise firm the wages due Kiser from the Colorado & Northwestern railroad. The claim was for $33. Bailey was allowed to hold no communication with the men aside from the business on hand, Kiser telling him that his mother would settle the bill. Attorney W. G. Houston of Boulder is representing both men, and made the following statement: "Both men will plead not guilty to the charge of murder, but so far have not said that they won't plead guilty to the charge of arson. I think, however, that they will not plead guilty to either, and that the alleged confessions will be repudiated. I saw Reeves and Kiser for the first time Wednesday afternoon. Kiser had engaged Tom Herrington of Denver, and Mrs. Kiser, his mother, has engaged me, while Reeves has engaged Oscar Johnson of Boulder and myself. So far as I know no other attorneys have been engaged or will be secured. Kiser engaged Mr. Herrington in Denver, thinking at that time that the trial would be held there." Mrs. Kiser, who is now back in Boulder, having returned from Denver to be near her son, is quite composed after having talked with him, and thinks that even if Frank is alleged to have confessed to have committed the deed that he could not have been in his right mind at the time the alleged act was committed. She believes that he told some things in the alleged confession that are not as straight as they might have been, and which will be straightened out at the trial. She further believes that if the alleged confession was made it was done in order to get rid of further questions. Houston said further: "Reeves told me that he would not plead guilty to the charge of murder, and that he would stand on the proof. "When Reeves saw me he said: I made no confession until the fourth day after my arrest, and then only after constant sweating and when I found I couldn't get any assistance from outside. "Reeves referred me to some friends of his in Denver, where he lived off and on for four years, and all stated that the man's habits were good aside from his one failing of drink." Bumper Wheat Crop. Fort Collins, Colo.—This year's yield of wheat is the best Larimer county has ever produced. The general average to the acre is better than fifty bushels. J. A. Edwards, living five miles east of Fort Collins, has just thrashed a field of wheat which has produced over seventy bushels an acre, and it tested sixty pounds to the bushel. Charles Hottel of the Hottel mill stated last night that the mill had been purchasing considerable wheat already and that it generally tested between fifty-nine and sixty pounds. Some wheat, he says, has been brought to the mill which tested as high as sixty-two. While the yields of this county are as good as anywhere in the state, and even better than in the majority of places, it is reported here that prices are not as high as at other places. At Greeley 70 cents a bushel is the present average market price. The local prices are $1.15 a hundred for the Defiance wheat, $1.20 for Turkey and $1 for Macaroni. This is a little less than 70 cents a bushel. Will Scale High Peak. Pinedale, Wyo.—T. M. Bannon of the United States geological survey, who last year discovered a peak in the Wind River mountains higher than Mount Fremont, formerly considered the highest mountain in the state, will attempt to make the ascent of this peak next month. Last year he reached a point 300 feet from the summit, but had to stop when the draw he was following ended in a precipice. The new peak has been named Gannett and is 13,775 feet high. Mr. Bannon has also mapped the only two living glaciers in the United States, south of the Canadian borders, One lies at the north base of Fremont peak and the other northeast of the big snow dome near the head of Green river. Swallows Arsenic for Epsom Salts. Steamboat Springs, Colo.—Walter Nero, a young man of Clark, twenty miles from Steamboat Springs, swallowed a teaspoonful of arsenic, thinking he was taking epsom salts. His friends were advised over the telephone by a local physician to administer an emetic. Nero is now out of danger. MUSEUM OF THE ARTS Tel. 2449. VER. J. H. TELEPHONE MAIN 4271. N. & W.

THE Denver Republican gives an elaborate account of the discovery by a Denver man of a fire preventive which eclipses anything heretofore invented. When applied to wood or other hard material in liquid state, or to cloth, lace curtains or paper, in the shape of powder, or mixed with starch when goods are washed, it makes the articles so treated absolutely proof against fire. Paper stands the test like other things. Now, then! That fixes us commercially and in a domestic way and does away with the need for the fire department. But! There is another application, which, if it stand the test, will fill up the sum of human happiness. Let the inventor coat himself or some willing subject with the stuff and try it against the fires of Purgatory. If he can prove with a barrel of either liquid or powder that the burning pit and the gates of Hell cannot prevail against him, then the world is his. If there is anything that has humanity in general uncomfortable during the last 4,000 years, it is the fear of fire. If that fear has made people better, it has not made them happier. But with old Satan put out of business, there will be joy unbounded. Say! That Dutch inventor doesn't begin to realize the fame that awaits him. JOHN L. ROUTT. NEWCOMERS to Colorado and the young generation of her people know of John L. Routt only as one of the pioneers of Colorado, whose career was great enough to make his memory revered. But the announcement of his death on August 13th, awakened deeper emotions in the breasts of those who have dwelt in Colorado the last twenty years or more. In Colorado's last territorial and young statehood days, Governor Routt was a dominating character, and his honest, rugged, forceful traits, so much admired by the men and women who were devoting their highest energies to the development of a new civilization, were stamped upon and woven into the fabric of the new commonwealth. His popularity was wonderful. Although a partisan, he seemed to have no enemies of the type made by the bitter struggles of today. Yet his course, as an executive and as a man, was so directly purposed that everybody knew that Routt was master of the conditions over which the people so frequently chose him to rule. Governor Routt was a consistent friend to the colored people. He made no rash promises, undertook no radical departures in their behalf, but he never allowed them to smart under any wrong. He made the man best known to him his mouthpiece to the colored people, and in that respect Francis T. Bruce was more honored than colored men are honored by present-day politicians; for Bruce was an ardent advocate for his people and gained them numerous benefits, while wisely protecting the interests of the man who trusted him. On Colorado's list of great and honored men, the name of John L Routt should be written close to the top. THE BISHOP'S HOBBY. OUR brilliant contemporary, The Coloradoan, recently read a severe lecture to Bishop Turner and the colored people in general, because its attention had been called to a speech of the Bishop in New York in which he reiterated his well known views on the relations of the government of the United States and its Negro citizens, and renewed his expression of faith in African emigration. For years Bishop Turner has not hesitated to say that he despises this government and its rulers, and he has expressed orally and in print some very strong reasons for his lack of patriotic love. But Bishop Turner is an honest and fearless man, whose spirit rebels and chafes at retraint, and we believe that he has earned the right to say what he thinks. He fought for this country in the Civil War and proved his desire to be loyal to it. He has lost faith in the white man's sense of justice, and we are inclined to the belief that he does no wrong in keeping alive the spirit of resentment, without which men grow weak and cowardly. White men are too much given to excusing their crimes and injustices against the Negro. Many of them, like our esteemed contemporary, are steeped in the belief that it is the Negro's duty to bear and forbear, regardless of wrongs and outrages, under some indefinite hope that time will cure it all. But free men are not made in that way. The black man should do just as the white man should do, under similar circumstances. Disregarding all conditions of the past, every man, woman and child who has been endowed with the rights of citizenship in this or any other country should submit to no oppression, either by unjust laws, discriminating interpretations of laws, or by the continued acts of individuals, without protest, first to the country and then to the world at large. Such benefit as they enjoy form no excuse for the crimes by which they are robbed of others. The United States freed its slaves because the spirit of the age and the country's own welfare demanded it. The same unquenchable spirit presses for justice between man and man. And it is not so certain that the Negro of the United States is the most advanced Negro in the world. We are not made aware of distinctive conditions in South America, because among that people distinctions are not prominent nor scarcely present. In some instances Negro subjects of Great Britain and of France reach higher positions and enjoy more permanent honors and distinctions than those yet attained by Negroes of the United States. But the Negro population of the United States is the largest dissimilar population in the world grafted into the life of another and far greater population of other racial stock. The contact is an experiment entirely without historical precedent. In forty years the wrongs practiced by the stronger race upon the weaker show no signs of diminishing. They change in form, but they increase rather than diminish. The black man improves mentally and materially, as he is bound to do by force of his inherent nature, and by contact with the forces of his environment, but his position as a fundamental and integral part of the government shows little progress. If there is a deep sense of restraint, uncertainty and unrest in the advanced Negro mind, what wonder? Insinuations that the Negro, as a race, condones crime or seeks to protect Negro criminals from lawful punishment, are false to the last degree. Charges that they do not appreciate such benefits as they receive as citizens of the United States are simple and absurd. His loyalty to the government and his general sense of righteousness in feeling and in faith toward the white man is of endless proof. But it is the white man who makes the problem. He furnishes the hate, the injustice, the oppression. And it is not because of the Negro's crimes. It is because the white man, deep down in his heart, does not intend that the Negro shall become his equal. And his injustice breeds more crime than is the Negro's natural bent. Bishop Turner is but a voice crying in the wilderness. Greater than he may follow. Influence of Organized Labor in the Postal Service By JEREMIAH D.

Aside from its interest in the organization of labor, it aims to be of service to its members as a benevolent order. The government does not object to that kind of an organization, but rather welcomes it, and the results have justified the plan of a brotherhood of mutual helpfulness. The government would not recognize a strike of postal employes for higher wages or shorter hours, and the association is not organized for industrial purposes along that line. It has the right, however, to exert all proper means to obtain alleviation or correction of harsh or unjust conditions in the service as affecting the postal employes. If any employee feels that he is being discriminated against, that he is being unfairly treated in any way, it is within the province of the association to present the individual grievance to the proper authority for remedy. The presentation of such a case, or any number of such cases, does not constitute a menace or threat to government authority. There is no demand upon the government for action, but there is as clear and sound a statement of the situation as the association can present. The social benefits to be derived from the association are such as any benevolent organization is formed to confer, such as sick and death benefits. Otherwise than these, the plans of the organization are to use every reasonable and rightful effort to make the postal service more attractive and remunerative in proportion as the individual service is more faithful and efficient.

"When in distinguished company," says a delightful book on etiquette, "do not ask elementary questions." By no means! You might wake up some dreadful bore—some of them are encouraged that way, though for the most part they are heavily repelled. The latter is an example of the excellent results to be obtained by a courageous attitude of complete ignorance. But it is in less enlightened company that honest ignorance obtains its greatest victories. At the first dishonest show of erudition step in and grapple with it. Cum poppysma mustela it—which being interpreted meaneth "pop goes the weasel"—rendered with the proper snap might silence a room filled with a semi-conscious want of knowledge. Let us guard against the tendency to decide in a moment between real and apparent ignorance. Ignorance has been assumed as well as concealed, and knowledge may prove, like other things in life, but a transitory joy to many. Numbers of industrious persons reap no greater reward than temporary abstraction; you never knew a thoroughly idle man who did not attempt to quiet his conscience with an affected disbelief in the spasmodic industry of his friends.

Prof. Miller has utilized the calm which has followed the stress and storm of Brownsville for an intelligent and dispassionate consideration of the entire question. His diagnosis of the presidential character is skilfully done and it is quite plain that whatever of censure may be inferred from the article, as due the Executive in the matter of Brownsville, has been earned through his elimination of the usual mental processes in determining the right or wrong of the case and the hasty resolution to punish so swiftly and seriously as effectually to deter others from any similar alleged offense. The Prof. tersely sets forth this idea in the following words: "He has diagnosed the case, prescribed the remedy and cured or killed the patient, before the ordinary physician has finished feeling the pulse."

"Dr. Booker T. Washington has been chosen as referee at large and as the sole spokesman for the entire Negro race. His selection was not due to his political activity or experience; for the whole tenor of his teaching has been to persuade his race to place less proportional stress on politics and concentrate its energies upon things economic and material. "Should succeeding administrations follow Mr. Roosevelt's example in this regard, the Negro would remain in perpetual thraldom to an intermediary boss set up at the whim or caprice of whoever happens to be president. The entire article is brimful of thoroughly digested thought on a subject vitally interesting to the Negro and is expressed in that clean, vigorous and cultured style of which Prof. Miller is eminently the master.

FLEET MOVES TOWARD HOME UNCLE SAM'S FIGHTING CRAFT ASSEMBLING FOR GENERAL MOBILIZATION. COMETOPACIFICCOAST THE HEAVY FIGHTERS WILL BE IN READINESS SHOULD JAPAN INTERFERE. Washington.—In accordance with the Navy Department's plan of mobilizing this fall on the Pacific coast, the bulk of the cruisers now stationed in the Pacific, the armored cruisers West Virginia, Colorado, Maryland and Pennsylvania, will steam from the Philippines for Yokohoma, Japan and from there they will come to home waters. The necessary repairs on the armored cruisers Tennessee and Washington, now at Hampton Roads and Newport, respectively, will be completed by September 28th, and immediately after that will proceed to the Pacific. These details are the most recent developments of the change of naval policy, the most significant feature of which has the President's decision to send the Atlantic fleet of sixteen battleships to the Pacific. The importance of the battleship cruise which will begin in the late fall or in the early winter, has rather overshadowed the plans for the mobilization of the cruisers on the Pacific coast. Plans Are All Changed. Prior to President Roosevelt's decision that the highest consideration of national interests required a shifting of sea power to the Pacific, the scheme of naval distribution placed the Pacific on a cruiser and the Atlantic on a battleship basis. Most of the cruisers in the Pacific had their stations in the far East. Upon the advent of Victor N. Metcalf of California as secretary of the navy, the naval representation of the Pacific coast was strengthened. When the mobilization has been accomplished, which will be some time about January 1, 1908, the Pacific fleet will be composed of these ships: Armored cruisers—Tennessee, Washington, California, South Dakota, West Virginia, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania. Cruiser Denver Among Them. Protected Cruisers -- Chartanooogal Galveston, Denver, Cleveland, Albany, Cincinnati, Raleigh, Charleston, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago. Gunboats, Yorktown, Concord, Helena, Wilmington. To this should be added a division of nine small gunboats captured in the Philippines from Spain; the coast defense monitors, Monadnock and Monterey, which are respectively in reserve at Subig bay and Cavite, Philip pine islands, in the first torpedo flotilla, under Lieutenant F. R. McCrary now stationed at Cavite, and the fourth torpedo flotilla, consisting of the Perry and Preble, now at Puget sound, to gether with various auxiliaries. "Denver Police Horrid," So There. Denver.—While enjoying his honey- moon in Denver, D. R. Rankin of Brighton, Colorado, was Thursday night arrested charged with passing worthless checks. When Detective Timothy Connors took him into custody the young wife of two weeks was overcome and had to be driven to the home of the groom's sister, Miss May Rankin, of 1938 Lincoln avenue. She said Denver policemen were horrid. Rankin owns a large farm at Brighton and is the son of D. S. Rankin, one of the county commissioners of Arapahoe county, before the consolidation of Denver city and county. As a young and progressive farmer he has a reputation through this entire section of Colorado. He married in his native town two weeks ago. The honeymoon itinerary included all of scenic Colorado, and one week in Denver. It appears that he had overdrawn his bank account before coming to this city, but continued to pay in check all the bills that he and his bride contracted. While attempting to pay a liveryman at Twentieth and Curtis streets Thursday night he came in contact with Detective Connors, who explained that the checks were worth less and the young man was placed under arrest. Detective Connors says that he has passed bad checks in Denver to the amount of $200. Rankin stated in the city jail that stubs in his check book only indicate an overdraft of $85, which, he claimed he would be in a position to replace as soon as released. Rankin said that he was wholly unconscious of the fact that he had gone beyond his means. Fort Collins Finds Gas. Fort Collins, Colo.—While a deep well was being driven on the 40-acre farm of L. Horsley, three miles west of Fort Collins, W. D. Wood, who is superintending the work, was astonished by a very strong odor of gas coming from the six-inch case pipe. The water which had been poured into the pipe to soften the soil was bubbling furiously. Upon investigation it was discovered that an excellent body of natural gas had been struck. Mr. Wood applied a match to the stream and the six-inch blaze that followed went three feet into the air. The discovery has caused much excitement. Farmer Rafferty Dies. Denver.—Though possessed of wonderful vitality, Thomas Rafferty, the aged farmer who lay for three days and nights with two broken legs, in the open air, after he had fallen from a sixty-foot windmill died at St. Anthony's hospital. His body was shipped to Fort Morgan for burial. Every day brings new enterprises to Colorado. Colorado's crop of tourists this year is more abundant than ever. is more abundant than ever. A Denver tramway car, carrying thirty people, was wrecked recently and many passengers injured. Miss Emma Gabel of Milwaukee died at Fort Collins recently from an attack of appendicitis. She was practically among strangers, but kind hands administered to her. Edward Kyle, aged 21, accidentally discharged a revolver and killed John Conrad, a government sheep inspector, whose home was at Olney, Colorado. The shooting occurred at Denver. The structural steel for the new hotel at Boulder, receipt of which was delayed because of the switchmen's strike, has reached Boulder, and work on the hotel has begun anew, but now there is a scarcity of brick. The first carload of early Greeley potatoes to leave for market was shipped by J. Gervin of La Salle to Denver. They brought $1.50 a hundredweight and were of superior quality, the car bringing between $450 and $500. Raymond, son of Ell Jeffreys, paying teller of the First National bank at Trinidad, was thrown from a horse on his father's ranch and sustained a broken leg, besides many other bruises. The boy was brought home and will recover. At the Country club a dinner-dance was given by Miss Evelyn Walsh of Denver and was attended by about fifty guests, among them being the elite of Colorado Springs and Denver society. The function, though informal, was one of the most brilliant of the present season. The ice famine at Fort Morgan has caused the forming of a company to immediately build an ice plant and work on the structure was started at once. The building will be 50 by 150 feet and cost about $20,000. L. Offer, J. E. Williams and E. I. Cook are the projectors and expect to supply local consumers this summer. The first car of the Fort Collins street railway has arrived from Denver and is being fitted for use on the West Mountain avenue line. It is brand new, having just been turned out of the shops in Denver expressly for service. It is attracting a great deal of attention. Another car, a duplicate of this one, is expected in a day or two. During a severe electrical storm at Trinidad lightning struck the home of Mr. Howard, at Jansen, three miles west of there. Mrs. Howard was partially paralyzed by the shock, and her recovery is doubtful. The bolt struck a clothes line by which it was conducted to the house and the latter would have been destroyed by fire had it not been for the prompt action of the neighbors. Michael O'Grady of Evans has brought suit to foreclose a mortgage on a large amount of Evans property valued at many thousands of dollars, against the heirs-in-law of E. M. Perkins. The Perkins mortgage was originally given to S. R. Huffsmith and covers an undivided one-half interest in several blocks of Evans property and was assigned to O'Grady, who owns the other half interest of the property. Suit for divorce, on the grounds of extreme cruelty, has been brought in the county court at Cripple Creek by Violet Bragunler, wife of David Bragunler. They were married in Cheyenne about three months ago. Last February Bragunler's first wife, whom he married in public at the Elks' carnival about three years ago, secured a divorce upon similar grounds. Two divorce cases inside of six months is a record in Teller county. The El Paso County Cattle Growers' Association will hold another meeting to take further action with regard to the cattle quarantine in this county. State Veterinary Surgeon Land has notified the executive committee that the quarantine has been placed on the cattle by the government as a precaution against mange. This disease, it is claimed, is not prevalent here, and vigorous action will be instituted in an effort to relieve the •mbargo. In a race war between Greek and Italians at Bucktown, near Leadville. Joseph Mufago received a slight scalp wound, but is not seriously hurt. Samuel Terquillo has been arrested, charged with inflicting the wound. The shooting, it is said, grew out of a quarrel over the affections of a woman. Friends of both men took up the figat and more than a dozen shots were fired. Mufago was the only man injured. Sheriff Dan Bonner stopped the fight. The body of George Walkenshaw, the young boilermarker who was swept to his death while fishing in the Grand river near Grand Junction, was recovered. Two small boys, who were fishing in the stream, discovered the body floating on the riffle in an elbow of the river. They secured a boat, brought the body to shreve and it was taken to an undertaking establishment. The remains were sent to Salt Lake for burial. A reward of $50 offered for the recovery of the corpse will be paid to the boys. Mrs. Frank Winters was robbed of a purse containing $20 while attending the mission services at the Catholic church in Georgetown. A strange woman entered the church and took a seat by the side of Mrs. Winters After remaining for a few minutes, she snatched the purse and made for the door. An alarm was given and the woman was overtaken before she could leave the church. The money was returned and the guilty party allowed to depart. She refused to divulge her name or where she came from. Arrangements for Pumpkin Plee at Longmont are being made, and the following committee has been appointed: R. S. Coffin, C. B. Webb, Major Small, Fred Spencer, C. C. Calkins, George W. Brown and Charles Gregg. A better and larger parade is expected this year than last, and J. M. Bolding has been appointed to look after it. Pumpkin Plee day comes but once a year, and Longmont heretofore has made much of it, but this year she will outdo herself in every way to make the 12th day of September one of the biggest days in northern Colorado C. & C.

To one not qualified, and few laymen are, to discriminate intelligently between physicians' prescriptions, proprietary medicines and nostrums, it may seem little short of a crime to hint even that physicians' prescriptions are in any manner related to nostrums; nevertheless, an impartial examination of all the facts in the case leads-irresistibly to the conclusion that every medicinal preparation compounded and dispensed by a physician is, in the strict sense of the word, a nostrum, and that the average, ready-prepared proprietary remedy is superior to the average specially-prepared physicians' prescription. What is a nostrum? According to the Standard Dictionary a nostrum is "a medicine the composition of which is kept a secret." Now, when a physician compounds and dispenses with his own hands a remedy for the treatment of a disease—and it is authoritatively stated that probably 60 percent of all physicians' prescriptions in this country are so dispensed—the names and quantities of the ingredients which constitute the remedy are not made known to the patient. Hence, since its composition is kept a secret by the physician, the remedy or prescription is unquestionably, in the true meaning of the word, a Simonpure nostrum. Furthermore, the prescription compounded by the average physician is more than likely to be a perfect jumble—replete with therapeutic, physiologic and chemical incompatibilities and bearing all the earmarks of pharmaceutical incompetency; for it is now generally admitted that unless a physician has made a special study of pharmacy and passed some time in a drug store for the purpose of gaining a practical knowledge of modern pharmaceutical methods, he is not fitted to compound remedies for his patients. Moreover, a physician who compounds his own prescriptions not only deprives the pharmacist of his just emoluments, but he endangers the lives of patients; for it is only by the detection and elimination of errors in prescriptions by clever, competent prescriptionists that the safety of the public can be effectually shielded from the criminal blunders of ignorant physicians. Nor can it be said that the average physician is any more competent to formulate a prescription than he is to compound it. When memorized or directly copied from a book of "favorite prescriptions by famous physicians," or from some text-book or medical journal, the prescription may be all that it should be. It is only when the physician is required to originate a formula on the spur of the moment that his incompetency is distinctly evident. Seemingly, however, the physicians of the United States are little worse than the average British physician; for we find Dr. James Burnett, lecturer on Practical Materia Medica and Pharmacy, Edinburgh, lamenting in the Medical Magazine the passing of the prescription and bemoaning the fact that seldom does he find a "final man" able to devise a prescription even in "good contracted Latin." And what, it may be asked, is the status of the written prescription—the prescription that is compounded and dispensed by the pharmacist—is it, too, a nostrum? It may be contended that the patient, with the written formula in his possession, may learn the character of the remedy prescribed. So, possibly, he might if he understood Latin and were a physician or a pharmacist, but as he usually possesses no professioni training and cannot read Latin, the prescription is practically a dead secret to him. Furthermore, the average prescription is so badly written and so greatly abbreviated that even the pharmacist, skilled as he usually is in deciphering medical hieroglyphs, is constantly obliged to interview prescribers to find out what actually has been prescribed. It may also be contended, that inasmuch as the formula is known to both physician and pharmacist the prescription cannot therefore be a secret. But with equal truth it might be contended that the formula of any so-called nostrum is not a secret since it is known to both proprietor and manufacturer; for it must be forgotten that, according to reliable authority, 95 per cent. of the proprietors of so-called patent medicines prepared in this country have their remedies made for them by large, reputable manufacturing pharmacists. But even should a patient be able to recognize the names of the ingredients mentioned in a formula he would only know half the story. It is seldom, for instance, that alcohol is specifically mentioned in a prescription, for it is usually masked in the form of tinctures and fluid extracts, as are a great many other substances. It is evident, therefore, that the ordinary formulated prescription is, to the average patient, little less than a secret remedy or nostrum. On the other hand, the formulae of nearly all the proprietary medicines that are exploited exclusively to the medical profession as well as those of a large percentage of the proprietary remedies that are advertised to the public (the so-called patent medicines) are published in full. Under the Food and Drugs Act, every medicinal preparation entering interstate commerce is now required to have the proportion or quantity of alcohol, opium, cocain and other habit-forming or harmful ingredients which it may contain plainly printed on the label. As physicians' prescriptions seldom or never enter interstate commerce they are practically exempt under the law. And if it be necessary for the public to know the composition of proprietary remedies, as is contended by those who through ig- norance or for mercenary reasons are opposing the sale of all household remedies, why is it not equally necessary for patients to know the composition of the remedy prescribed by a physician? Does any sane person believe that the opium in a physician's prescription is less potent or less likely to create a drug habit than the opium in a proprietary medicine? As a matter of fact, more opium-addicts and cocain-fends have been made through the criminal carelessness of ignorant physicians than by any other means. Unquestionably, there are a number of proprietary remedies on the market the sales of which should be prohibited, and no doubt they will be when the requirements of the Food and Drugs Act are rigidly enforced; many are frauds, pure and simple, and some are decidedly harmful. Of the average proprietary remedy, however, it may truthfully be said that it is distinctly better than the average physicians' prescription; for not only is its composition less secret, but it is prepared for the proprietor by reputable manufacturing pharmacists in magnificently equipped laboratories and under the supervision and advice of able chemists, competent physicians and skillful pharmacists. It should not be considered strange, therefore, that so many physicians prefer to prescribe those ready-prepared proprietary remedies rather than just those of their own devising. ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON. Faithist Community Latest Addition to Its Queer Sects. The Faithist community which has established a modest footing in Baltham, and whose comprehensive gospel ranges from the creation of man to the "glory and labors of the gods and goddesses of the Etherian heavens," is the latest addition to the long list of London's religious sects, which are now almost as many as the days of the year. In London the Chinaman burns his incense stick in more than one joss-house in the east end, the Mahometan has his mosque, the Malayan his temple, near St. George's street east; the Parsees worship the sun in Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mission in Islington, and in many parts of the metropolis the Buddhists and Ancestor Worshipers perform their strange rites. Of Christian sects in London there are at least 300, including the Cokelers, the disciples of William Sirgood, the Walworth shoemaker; the Peculiar People, who prefer prayer to physicians; the Sandemanians, the followers of Joanna Southcott, the prophetic serving maid; the Shakers and the Seventh Day Baptists. WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES. In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives Than Their Descendants. The women of the sixteenth century and earlier times had easier lives than those of our generation. To be sure, there are a hundred labor saving devices to-day which were unknown to them. But in at least two important respects they had the advantage over their descendants. They waged no conflict against dirt such as we carry on from morning till night. The Elizabethan had no prejudice against garbage in his front yard, vermin in his bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in his sleeves. The strength of arm and spirit which now goes to keeping clean was left to the medieval lady for other tasks. Moreover, although her clothing was gorgeous—rich with embroidery and lace, and heavy with jewels—it was not subject to rapid changes of fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the hang of a skirt was settled for five years rather than five months. Life was then free from the modern terror of "looking like a last year's rag bag."—Youth's Companion. THE LOAD OF THE LAZY. This Man Worked Hard in His Own Particular Way. One of the neighborhood loafers sat comfortably smoking his foul pipe, according to his daily custom, in the prescription room of a drug store. He was soilloquizing aloud to the clerk. Here is a sample of his sound, contented philosophy: "I'll tell you what! A man is mighty miserable if he ain't got nothin' to do, when he ain't workin' at somethin'. I know it—I've tried both ways an' I find that there ain't nothin' that makes a man more miserable than doin' nothin'. But, you know, there's two kinds of work; one of them is where a feller goes to work at six in the mornin' an' works with his hands till six at night. The other is where a feller sits around an' thinks. I ain't never happy unless I'm workin', but I don't believe in that first kind of work. I believe in thinkin' all day long, an' that's harder than the other kind, I can tell you—you just try it if you don't believe me; a man is mighty miserable when he ain't workin.' In Praise of the Pie. Laura Simmons tells in an article why good New Englanders should stick to pie, and calls attention to the fact that Emerson ate it three times a day, and says that pie is the ladder by which New England has climbed to its place of proud eminence. She questions whether any sensible person was ever known to forage at the midnight hour for predigested cereals or the innocuous prune. She does not believe that many New England ancestors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but counsels all to go on pie-eating, despite the fact that the flat has gone forth that it is vulgar to eat pie. FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES. Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow- Minded New Yorker. Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass fronts of department stores, the clean sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan air you find in Oklahoma City, for example, seem marvels to find in a territory only 17 years old. But do not say so. A New Yorker who went there on business complained that fate was thrusting him into a wilderness, and his Oklahoma associates could not reassure him. But coming down to breakfast the first morning, at his hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared around in wonder as he entered the dining-room. “This,” he exclaimed, “this is Oklahoma! Why, do you know?” confidentially, “I even found a porcelain bathtub in my room.” “Well,” said an Oklahomaoman, drilly, “don’t you have those in New York?” He Was Not to Blame. Little Bartholomew's mother overheard him swearing like a mule driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining the wickedness of profanity as well as its vulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously denied having instructed Bartholomew, and neither threats nor tears could make his confess. At last he burst out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any cuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does? Hasn't his father got an automobile, too?" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Late. Already. Five minutes after the tardy gong had struck, the principal of the school was walking through the lower hall when he saw a pudgy little fellow scampering toward the first grade room as fast as his fat legs could carry him. "See here, young man, I want to talk to you," called the principal to the late comer. "I hain't got time to talk to you; I'm late already," replied the breathless beginner as the door of his classroom closed.—The Circle. A Country Marvel. The little fresh air boy was comfortably quartered in a farm house near the salt water for his summer's outing. The first day he strolled down the road to the marshes and he stared in astonishment at the cat-tails growing there. Then turning around to a native of the place who was accompanying him he said: "Gosh; I didn't know that sausages grow on sticks." One to Reckon With. There's a little girl who gave her folks a shock the other day. "Ma, I want a bathing suit," she said. "You shan't have any," ma replied. "Then I'll go bathing without one." The bathing suit matter is now being arbitrated. Foreign Waterways. Since we began the neglect and abandonment of canals, France has quadrupled her waterways. According to figures furnished by commercial associations, the British isles have 8,000 miles of canal and it does not all antedate the railroad. WHAT'S THE USE? To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as a Vicious Enemy. Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time but no one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous," says a Calif. woman. "Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum removed it. "My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. "Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in its place and says he has not once troubled with sour stomach." Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it's easily proved. A ten day's trial works wonders. "There's a Reason." Read the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES. Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's Intermittent Hearing. When Capt. Bascomb had left his old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new school teacher sitting on the south porch, and had disappeared down the road, the young woman spoke of him with some curiosity. "I understand from Mrs. Bascomb that her husband was very deaf, 'almost stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm sure," said the school teacher. "But he seemed to hear all we said with perfect ease." Capt. Somers leaned toward her and spoke in a low, cautious tone, although there was no eavesdropper to hear him. "Don't let Mis' Bascomb know it," he said, hurriedly. "He does seem to hear pretty well when she ain't round, but none of us folks ever let on to her. She's a good woman as ever lived, but a most tremendous bosser and an everlastin' talker. Aa' we all think that Gersh Bascomb begun to realize ten years ago that if he didn't want to be harried right off'n the face o' the earth, the thing for him to do was to grow deef, gradual, but steady—an' he's done it, to all intents an' purposes, ma'am!" — Youth's Companion. BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomaston, Me., June 9, 1906." Cunning Chap. "Yes," confessed the blushing girl with the white parasol. "I thought it rather odd that Jack should keep on asking about our college yell. Finally, to get rid of him, I told him it was three yells in quick succession." "What then?" asked her chum. "What then? Why, the goose kissed me three times before I could demonstrate and when I gave a yell for each kiss mamma thought I was giving the class yell." Fresh Fuel. The scrap between the married couple had died down to a few listless mutterings, and the canary bird in the cage was beginning to think about singing again, when she remarked, as a sort of afterthought: "At any rate, everybody in my family thinks I am very intelligent." "Yes, by the side of them you are," he replied with a bitter snort. After this the scrap was renewed fubilantly. Sheer white goods, in fact, any nine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. The Reason Why. "How did you come here?" said one Mexican bull to an old acquaintance, as they met in the arena. "How?" replied the other, with a glance around. "I may say I was roped in."

The French demi-totlette resembles a tea gown only in so much that it is picturesque and old-world. It is not sn the very least untidy or floppy, and even an expert in such matters would find it difficult to clearly define the iifference between it and a dinner gown suitable for ceremonious occa- Sions. The difference is very subtle and yet—ever present! Possibly it is a distinction which owes much to the arrangement of the hair and to the ornaments worn. Some wonder- tully lovely gowns of this order have been made this season of fine silk gauze enriched with ribbon embrol- deries, or with borderie Anglaise car- ried out in delicate pastel tints, The latter is a distinct novelty and en- tirely satisfactory when designed and executed by a master hand. For exam- ple, take a flowing skirt of creamy gauze, lavishly decorated in panels with broderie Anglaise worked in fine silver threads. On either side of these panels there were shaped insertions of Maltese lace—of exactly the same tint as the musifa—and at the ex- treme hem of the skirt five flounces of Valenciennes; while the bodice was arranged in picture fashion, having a large fischu of Valenciennes, which crossed in front and tucked away in the folded waistband of palest Mb- erty satin. The wide Japanese sleeves were made of the Maltese lace, and underneath there were the daintiest little puffings and frills of Valen- clennes. The peach-colored waist: band boasted two very long ends at the left sidey and these énds were drawn through a handsome buckle of gun metal set with small diamonds. It would be impossible to describe the poetic charm of this gown, and the dark buckle, with its brilliant frame, supplied just the right note. The sleeveless coat of taffetas 1s entering a successful reign. This picturesque garment is almost always worn with muslin or lace gowns, and nine times out of ten the silk is of a dark and rather somber color, These silk coats are a short three-quarter length and semi-sack, back and front, and they are rarely closed in front, but are confined by chenille or silk ornaments, or, in some cases, they are lightly laced from throat to breast. The most conspicuous of Fashion's new edicts will be the long coat, long- er than they have been. These coats look equally well in both cloth and linen, and have charm when sup- plied with the square sleeve, the el- bow sleeve, or the ordinary coat sleeve. It is, Indeed, a highly adapt- able garment, upon which we propose to bestow our very best attentions from now until October at least, and this I prophesy as other wise people would have prophesied, because 1 know. But I am forgetting the novelty of the hour, and the like, being rare, should be treated with greater re- spect. White flowers allied to white leaves, and looking for all the world lke the conventional decoration of the conventional wedding-cake, are upon the hats which express the last word of Fashion. White lilies of the valley allied to white roseleaves 1 have met forming a thick wreath round a bell-shaped hat“ of brown straw lined with white chip; large white garden lilies with white leaves upstand in bold relief from a shape of purple straw, and white roses and white leaves encircle the broad brim of a hat of dull green lined with black glace. Here is novelty indeed—and for so much, and no more, I commend It. Apropos summer hats—very high crowns are slowly but surely creeping toward us. Just at preseat these high crowns are chiefly arranged in flow- ers, but a lttle later we shall see a revival of the high “flower-pot” crown which used to be fashionable when the “Greclan bend” afforded fruitful topics for music-hall singers! It seems a thousand plities that we should think of adopting such a fash- fon as this, the hat crowns of this year are so ideal and so infinitely be- coming, and the “flower-pot” crown is so peculiarly inartistic. Unhappily it is no use to protest against ash- fon's dictates, but let us hope that short lived, and that there will found leaders of Society with suffi cient taste and courage to protes' against an ugly mode just ag the) protested against the meaningless short waist which is already dying the death. * It is quite certain that nine womer out of ten look best when somethin: rich and dark is placed near the face not an entire black, or dark, hat nec essarily, but one with a lining of ful tone and in a becoming tint, Th: very newest and most popular ides with regard to cloche hats is the tial lining of black, or dark hued, satin As a rule, this lining does not reaci quite to the edge of the hat, an incl of light straw being left plain.

For example, ‘take an ivory straw cloche which boasts a wide, rather high, crown, and ‘a large drooping brim, the front of the latter being shorter than the back. ‘The lining was of black satin, and on the small bandeau under the brim there were choux of black tulle. ‘There was a full crown of ivory point @'Esprit and several enormous bows of the same across the front and right side, these bows being invisibly wired and edged on either side with bands of inch.wide white satin ribbon, At the left side there was a cluster of splendid roses — darkest crimson and salmon pink, with several branches of brown folk age.

Sever each joint from the rest and cut the breast into four pieces. Crack a knuckle of veal from which most of the meat has been strip- ped. (Veal fs especially useful in making jellied soups because it con- tains more gelatinous matter.) Put the pieces of fowl and the veal bone into a pot; add two teaspoonfuls of onion juice and three stalks of celery cut into inch lengths, and cover with a gallon of cold water. Cover closely and set where it will not boil under an hour, yet will heat steadily. Cook slowly for four hours, or until tho flesh of the fowl slips from the bones. The toughest meat may be made tender by slow and pro- longed cooking. ‘The liquid should be reduced to two quarts. Set the pot away, covered tightly, until the contents are a cold jelly. Heat to a boil to loosen the jelly from the bones, and strain. Clear with a cracked egg shell and the white of an egg as with beef bouillon. THE HOT WEATHER LUNCHES. Cold Meats, Fruits and Vegetables Ap- propriate Now. The knowing housewife keeps her refrigerator full of fresh fruit, lettuce, cress and always a big bowl of mayon- naise. Where only a small remnant of yesterday's roast {s left mayonnaise goes well with it; and with cold fish, or merely spread on bread, with a crisp lettuce leaf for luncheon, with a glass of iced tea or, better still, fresh milk. Jellied soups may be kept two days, all the cold vegetables, as salads with French dressing, buttered toast and perhaps a dish of berries or junket— who could ask a more delicious and wholesome hot-weather luncheon? Heavy roasts, fried meats, the ever- lasting potato, cooked beans, are all too heat-producing for hot weather. Breakfast bacon, eggs in the many Possible forms of serving, cream cheeses, stewed fruits, may replace those foods that are to be provided for cold weather. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To cover the pan in which fish is cooking will make the fiesh soft. Never mix a French dressing until ready to use. The vinegar and oil will separate. To prevent pastry from burning set pan of water in the oven while it is baking. Petroleum ointment stains are very obstinate and the best thing for them is to soak in kerosene. A sponging with a solution of one part ammonia to ten parts of water is said to brighten the colors in a faded carpet. A delightful new sweetmeat is a chocolate-covered fig that can easily be prepared at home with sweetened chocolate. The best thing to clean windows with is vinegar. Rub it on with a soft cloth, dry with another and polish with a wash leather, If you are storing your household effects for an indefinite period, wrap all table and bed linen, or, in fact, any white material, in dark blue paper to prevent it from turning yellow. erage ae Cut the stalks to within two inches of the tips. The rest of the stem is wogl. It will not be eaten, and takes up room in the jar that might be occupied tomore advantage. Lay the asparagus, thus abbreviated, even- ly and close together in a boiler and cover with-cold water slightly salted. Put the cover on the boller and set over the fire. Bring to a slow boil, and keep it up ten minutes, never let- ting the bubbles become violent. Re- move the asparagus gently with a wooden ladle; put into the jars, the tips, in orderly array, uppermost; fill with boiling salt water and seal. Nun's Work. The blind nun's work 1s always good and the filet mesh introduced into em- broldery and yarlous laces will be sure to hold its vogue for more than this year. Conservative styles are always for the woman who wears her gowns more than one season, unless she has the foresight to read the signs of the times and chooses the new thing while it is in its first stage. Even then she needs discrimination to know whether an innovation {s likely to hold on for @ reasonable time, French Dressing. With many people the French dress- ing Js usually hit or miss, There is, however, a set formula that insures having the proportions right every time. Put into a bowl or bottle a half teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful pepper. And four teaspoonfuls olive oll, stir with a fork or shake if in a bottle. Add one tablespoonful lemon Juice or vinegar, mix thoroughly and pour over the salad. ~ Home-Made Counterpane, Buy a patr of lace curtains and fas- ten them together with a strip of lace insertion. ‘The ruffled ends will fall over the sides and ends of the bed.
