THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Washing The Negro is in Politics and will R trary Notwithstanding. The ans are Already Turn East an WashingtonD.C. East and West. Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. Notwithstanding the advice loudly and persistently given the Negro, that he should concern himself less about matters of politics and government and strive more earnestly for such benefits as are freely conceded by a sentiment adverse to his progress along the first named lines, it becomes more and more apparent that the great intelligent body of citizens, distributed widely in centers where their influence is felt, are not only opposed to such self effacement, but are also deeply agrieved and in a measure resentful. The Negro is not willing to retrace the thorny path over which he has trod to the liberties he now enjoys, but rather feels imbued with that spirit of loyalty and devotion to principle which urges him to accept any hardship, however unfair, any discrimination, however unjust, rather than lay down without protest the proud privileges secured to him under the Constitution. To do less than exhibit such a spirit would stamp him as unworthy of the smallest consideration and undeserving of the many glorious sacrifices made by white men and black men, in order that he might come into his birth-right. It is true, the solid South has disfranchised the Negro, has preserved to it and to himself, only the right to labor and with no sort of adequate return, to continue as the greatest factor in its industries and the largest contributor to its fast growing wealth. The intelligence of the entire country understands and appreciates to the full the false issues and vicious sophistries conceived in prejudice and hatred, which are responsible for the local legislation which accomplished the result. The conscience of the South may be calmed and consoled by what it wishes to regard as its justification, but it is fully mindful of the fact, as well as callous thereto, that the laws of its courts and the enactments of its legislatures are designed and operated entirely to the disadvantage of the Negro. Under this incubus the Negro is destined to suffer for many years still, he need not be without hope of his final and complete enfranchisement, for it happens that the same instrument which now be- VOL. XIII. reaves him of the rights of a citizen, provides also for their bestowal, and all in good time, when prepared and equipped through education and the absorption of those ameneties which adorn our civilization, he must surely come into his own. Meanwhile, his brothers in the North, East and West, endowed with larger privileges and greater consideration, should be ever watchful against the encroachments of an illiberal sentiment, which seems to be increasingly in evidence in many sections. Individual alertness is the most effectual foil to the petty meannesses of prejudice and oppression. The growth of manly character in the individual will compel respect and win the regard of the intelligent and reasonable. Loyalty, integrity and industry are the especial virtues of good citizens and cannot fail to win the approval of those of like repute. The jeer and hooting and disparagements of the evil minded should not disturb, for they must inevitably recoil upon themselves to their own confusion. To be a well balanced citizen the Negro should, as all men, have a political as well as a moral ideal and work faithfully towards the one as the other. He must learn to weigh men, events and measures in the scale of common sense and honor, appraise and support the same according as their influence may be considered a factor in the advancement of his fortunes and the safeguarding of each manhood right. Any other appraisement subjects him to ridicule and cannot secure for him the consideration and influence which his strength should demand Organization is the most effectual means of political power and the evidence is cumulative, that Negroes generally in the sections last referred to are already active in the organization and furtherance of political clubs for work in the coming campaign. Ohio, New York, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania with a large contingent of Negro citizens, who are thoroughly awake to the issues will be from now on, watched with the anxious eyes of politicians of both partys. Colorado and Wyoming with men clubs and women clubs too. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1907. will certainly attract a large share of public attention. The quadrennial season, when, as is generally conceded the Negro really does amount to something has already cast its shadow on the canvas of events and every Negro should see to it, as far as in him lies, that the substance stands for his very highest development and greatest good. JOHN H. PAYNTER. WHAT FOOLS WE MOR-TALS BE. Two white women working on stools side by side with Oriental workers was a scene too humiliating for a representative of Seattle unions to see without comment. Man should be woman's protector, not her competitor. If she has to work see that she does not have to work where you would not—Union Record. The above sheet seems to have no greater mission for existence than the arraying of races against each other. An Oriental is as much a human being as the European, and "the white wowan" who has to work for her living because perhaps, her drunken husband spends his whole time at labor union gatherings, agitating and guzzling beer, in order to keep the wolf from the door, is no more humiliated by working beside of an Oriental than by the side of a "white man," and not nearly as much, if the white man is one of those miserable beer guzzlers that work eight hours, sleep eight hours and raise hell the other eight. If you want to do the right thing elevate all classes of labor, white, black, yellow, red and all others. Seattle Republican. TREAT COLORED PEOPLE AS AMERICANS. In an article to the Tribune of Providence, R. I., Rev. Samuel Barret says in part: "And lastly, sympathy is needed in our treatment of the Afro-American. The strongest way we can sympathize with them it is put ourselves in their position. As Americans we should look at life from a broad, humantarian standpoint, and not from the narrow viewpoint of race and color. When we come to recognize in each human being something of divinity we will be going a long way in overcoming our early training and prejudices as to the superiority and inferiority of races. "There should go out all over this country, wherever the Afro-American people are gathered together, a broad, deep and helpful sympathy in order that these peo- lessly, in their struggle to rise. "No section of this country should pride themselves on their race, to the confusion and embarrassment of the Afro-American but should feel that the same God who made the white man made the black man also. We should give the Afro-American an opportunity to vote as we do other American citizens. "We should give to him his civil and political rights guaranteed to him by the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. We should be more sympathetic than to allow ourselves to 'Jim Crow' him however gentlemanly he may act. "In a word we should treat him as an American. A race who can produce a Joseph Charles Price, a Douglass, Tonssaint La Overture, an Allen Le Roy Locke, a DuBois and a Booker Washington with nothing behind it in the way of acquirements except two centuries and forty-two years of slavery, in less than half a century, is worthy of helpful sympathy and encouragement in its efforts to rise." RELIGION AND KNOWLEDGE Religion and learning go hand in hand through all the sunlit paths of science. Foot to foot, they tread the Zodiac, and together they survey all the works of God's creation, and when the genius of learning like an imprisoned eagle shakes from his wings the dust of the earth and sores upward to the skies and sweeps with stairy wings the very domain of knowledge exclaiming as he floats through the limitless wilderness of words, great and wonderful art thy works, oh, God. Then the genius of religion should be there to add and in goodness and in mercy hath thou made them all. But there is a a point beyond which the genius of knowledge may not dare to tread and there religion, bowing to her learned companion and fixing her eyes upon the jewel built chambers of heaven, mounts upon a winged sereph of immorality, outspeeding in his flight the comets glowing wheel passing the sun and the sun's system and every system from which the sun system is visible, and until she enters in at the gates of pearl and the rising wondering, welcome, first born of the skies. Yours truly, WM. ROBINSON. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—W. H. Rogers, the only colored member of the Georgia legislatures, today resigned his seat. He gave no reason, but it is believed that the passage of the Negro disfranchisement bill influenced him. Five hundred new houses in the City of Richmond. Va., are being erected by colored merchants, There is a Negro in Kentucky who is earning the pay of two men because he does two men's work and receives credit for it. He is a hod carrier but disdains to use a hod to carry brick in. He piles 50 brick on a plank, balances the load on his head and climbs any ladder as if he were bearing no burden. Prof. Wm. H Smeaton, who was was sent to Accra, Gold Coast, West Africa, on March 30, 1907, by Lawyer Alfred C. Cowen of New York City, to examine and report on some gold mines, rubber, coco and cotton plantations returned August 14, 1907, on board the steamship Campania. Professor Smeaton says, that he found gold, rubber, cotton and cocoa upon all the property and that the property and that the proposition is a money making undertaking.

Sept. 2.—Apparently without any provocation whatever, Alexander Gaines, colored, shot and severely wounded Mrs. James Roe, the colored wife of a white man, at the corner of Broad and Carpenter streets this afternoon. According to City Water Superintendent Sam Wilmer, who was standing across the street and saw the shooting, Gains walked down the street towards Mrs. Roe, calmly drew a revolver, aimed it at the woman and fired. The ball took effect in her hip. In the including installment of his articles on the color line in the American Magazine, Ray Standard Baker gives an explanation why the Negroes of the South are drifting so rapidly to the cities, that they feel the lack of schooling for their children in the country and the lack of police protection. He also states that the difficulty of keeping a supply of good labor is causing the owners of the big plantations to sell off small farms to the more thrifty colored farmers. NO. 51. New London, Conn., Sept. 1. James I. Beckham of Germantown, Pa., waiter at Atlanta City, N. J., came to this city and this morning walked into the California Hotel and shot his brother-in-law, Wm. M. Petty, the Negro proprietor. Beckham fired five shots, three of which took effect. Petty died within a few minutes. Beckham did not attempt to escape and is now locked up at police headquarters. Tee murder is said to have been caused by family troubles. Beckham, it is said, believed his wife was being harbored in this city by Petty at the California Hotel. Worcester, Mass., Sept. 2—Major Taylor, the crack cyclist, accompanied by his family, has arrived unexpectedly in Worcester from France where he closed a wonderfully successful racing career. When he went there last spring he was unable to show anything like his old-time lightning form, owing to lack of condition, but he soon struck his winning gait, and won victory after victory over all the crack riders of Europe, with the exception of Jacquelin, who beat him when he first arrived there, Taylor refused take on a return race, as Jacquelin had gone off form and been beaten by second and third rate riders. Taylor defeated Penyon, the English champion; Poulain, French champion last year; Ellegard, the Danish champion; Van den Born, the Belgian champion; Verri, the Italian champion, and Friol, the French champion and winner of the Grand Prix. Taylor announced he has permanently retired. A STINGING REBUKE. Rev Satterlee, who disgraces the high office of bishop in the Methodist denomination, and who is constructed on the order of Tillman, Vardaman and others of their ilk, said in a sermon a short time ago, that the colored man's greatest ambition and hope was for social equality, and for which and other like silly expressions, the New York Independent hands the clergyman the following roast: "Let us say to Bishop Satterlee that he is as ignorant of the Negroes as he confesses he was, until lately, of the Methodists. The colored people of America are not concerned about social recognition, only about their equal personal rights. They do not admit that they are intellectually or physically inferior to any other race; they are only a little later getting started. They have an ambition, a reasonable one, which we will do our best to support, that in intelligence, culture, wealth and genius they may prove themselves equal to the test the world has yet produced. We expect to see men of that blood occupying the highest positions in this country, all conceived and arrogant Caucasian or Anglo-Saxon assumption to the contrary notwithstanding. We want to see it; it is decently Christian to desire it. NEWS OF THE WEEK Interesting Items Gathered From all Parts of the World Condensed Into Small Space for the Benefit of Our Readers. Personal.

DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED KILLS HIS SWEETHEART KILLS HIS SWEETHEART YOUTH PLACES MUZZLE OF GUN TO HER HEAD AND PLAYFULLY PULLS TRIGGER Denver.—Playfully pointing a revolver which he didn't know was loaded at the head of the girl whom he was to marry within a few weeks, William Lisle Alderson pulled the trigger and sent a bullet through the head of Miss Edna Calioway, killing her instantly. The accident occurred at the home of J. M. Ellis, 1451 Madison street, in the presence of many guests. Both Alderson and the girl whom he killed lived in Kansas City, and were visitors at the Ellis home. According to the story told by T. M. Ellis to the coroner, he and Alderson were down town until 11 o'clock at night. Returning home, they found several young women friends of the family had dropped in to call, and that in a spirit of fun some of the party had hidden the pajamas belonging to Alderson and Ellis. Ellis says he suggested that they make a pretense of forcing the women to give up the pajamas at the point of a revolver. He secured an automatic gun, and remarked to Alderson that he would remove the magazine so there would be no danger. A cartridge, however, it seems, had slipped from the magazine into the firing chamber, and when Ellis playfully pointed the gun at his sweetheart's head, and, demanding the pajamas, pulled the trigger, he sent a bullet into her head. The police were not notified, but word was sent to Coroner Rollins, who, satisfied that it was an accident, permitted the body to remain at the Ellis home. Alderson is almost frantic with grief, and the services of a physician were necessary to quiet him. T. M. Ellis is a member of the firm of the Marshall Ellis Investment Company, with offices at 809 Seventeenth street. Alderson is twenty-two years old, and Miss Calloway was nineteen. Miss Calloway was the daughter of Mrs. Robert E. Stone of Kansas City. Her father is dead. Alderson's father is David Alderson, junior member of the firm of Bradley, Alderson & Co, implement dealers in Kansas City. While in the story told to the coroner, it was stated that the gun was in Alderson's hands when it was fired, Mrs. Ellis said that both Ellis and Alderson had the gun, and that she believes that Ellis pulled the trigger, Mrs. Ellis also says that the only persons present when the tragedy was enacted were Miss Calloway and Alderson and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis. She says the young women came in after the shooting. Miss Calloway was the only child, and it is feared her mother, Mrs. Stone, who is in delicate health, may not be able to survive the news of her daughter's death. Mrs. Alderson, mother of the young man, was standing beside his flance when the fatal shot was fired, and she is prostrated with grief over the sad fate of her daughter who was to be and the anguish of her son. Mrs. Ellis, who was an aunt of Miss Calloway, is also in a serious condition, her heart being affected by the shock. Dr. S. D. Hopkins, who was called in, said that death was instantaneous. LABOR TROUBLES REACH CLIMAX Locked-Out Men Throw Stones and Get Bullets in Return San Fransisco, Cal.—As the result of firing into nonunion carmen by a crowd of strike sympathizers following a fracas between them, five men were injured and are now in St. Luke's hospital. The trouble occurred when a wrecking car of the United Railroads, on which were about fifteen men, was approaching the carbarn at the corner of Utah and Twenty-fourth streets. As the car was passing a tent occupied by union pickets stones were thrown at it and shots were fired by some of the carmen, but no one was hit. The car continued in its way to the barn, where a crowd had assembled. Some of the men alighted and trouble began immediately. Policemen R. L. Wade, J. W. Miller and A. Bigelow appeared on the scene and ordered the carmen not to shoot. They disregarded this command, whereupon the police used their revolvers, five of the carmen being wounded. Traded Wives; One Balked. Unlontown, Pa.—A wife trade, with a lot to boot, a trip to the old country after one wife who would not ratify the deal, and a subsequent canceling of the entire transaction, is the story of one of the most unique proceedings ever recorded in Fayette county. George Mettio, a boarding house boss at Martin, and Mike Paul, his star boarder, closed a deal, it is alleged, for the exchange of their wives. Paul's wife was in the old country, but Mettio knew her before he came to America. The transaction was reduced to writing, the terms of which are said to have been that, besides his wife in the old country, Paul should give a lot at Martin, and also pay the fare of Metto to the old country to get his new wife. The wife here is said to have sanctioned the trade. Mettio turned her over to Paul and left for his native land, but there Paul's wife was obdurate and Mettio was obliged to return without her. He has just arrived here, and after demanding the return of his own wife, and giving back the deed of the lot, the entire deal was called oz. TERRIBLE DEEDS OF DRUNKARDS Sheepherders in Wyoming Hold Up Boys, Indians and Ranchers. Cokeville, Wyo.—Inflamed by bad whisky, Joe and Sam Bates, sheep herders, who had been sent here for supplies by their employer, determined to become bad men. Mounting their horses and each carrying a revolver, they departed for the north and a mile from town held up a seventeen-year-old boy, whom they shot through the stomach and robbed of $1.50. When they realized the dangerous character of the boy's wound they returned his money and started away. An Indian and his squaw who had seen the shooting helped the boy to mount a horse and started him for town. This act enraged the Bates brothers, who returned and held up the Indian, robbing him of his horse. As they rode away they fired several shots at the squaw, but did not hit her. A few miles further on they met and held up a wagon load of land seekers, including C. E. Cotton, Union Pacific agent at Cheyenne, but decided not to rob them. Thirty miles north of town they visited the ranch of J. S. Branson, held up Branson, who is an old man and an ex-Missouri marshal, and compelled him to give them new horses. As they were transferring their saddles, Branson grabbed Sam Bates' sixshooter. Joe Bates drew his revolver, whereupon Branson shot him through the heart. Branson then held Sam Bates at bay until assistance arrived from the ranch house, when the young outlaw was overpowered and bound. Bates is now in jail here, and may be lynched if the boy who was shot dies. The dead brother was a deserter from the navy. Union Pacific Cut-off a Certainty Denver.—The long rumored cut-off to be constructed by the Union Pasifite between Denver and Cheyenne at a cost of about $1,000,000 has at last been decided upon and camps are now being established with the expectation of having the new line completed before the first of the year. The cut-off will be seventeen miles long, starting near Carr and running northeast to Borie, Wyo., three miles south of Corlett, connecting with the Wyoming division four and one-half miles west of Cheyenne. It will eliminate the principal curves and heavy grades between Denver and Cheyenne. The work in some sections will be unusually heavy. There will be 220,000 cubic yards of roadbed excavation necessary and there will be 30,000 cubic yards of solid rock to be removed. In addition to this there will be 900,000 cubic yards of embankment. The largest fill will be 2,700 feet long and 45 feet high. When completed three new stations will be established on the new line. The cut-off will enable the company to operate between Denver and the west at a considerable saving over former cost on account of the heavy grade over Athol hill. Japs Try to Steal Indian Wives. San Francisco.—Employes of the Alaska Packer' Association who returned here upon the ship Star of Chile bring the report that a number of Japanese cannery hands at Egegk made a raid upon an Indian village near that camp last June and attempted to carry off several of the native women. The Japanese evidently believed the men of the settlement were out fishing, but in this they were mistaken, for after the raiders had caught and gagged two or three of the women they were discovered by a number of bucks, who set up a loud howl and at once proceeded to repel the Japanese. In attempting to get away with the captives the Japanese are said to have run between two hills where the snow was deep and rapid travel was impossible. This proved their undoing, for the Indians descended upon them with guns and clubs and would have killed the six or eight raiders if the latter had not deserted their victims and hurried off. The Indians later, it is said, made complaint to the men in charge of the cannery camp. Mother of Nine Works in Field Cheyenne, Wyo.—Mrs. Sarah Jane Shepherd, in a divorce suit which she filed against Joseph Shepherd, asserts that she and the defendant were married at Seward, Nebraska, September 24, 1887, and that nine children, from three to nineteen years of age, have resulted from the union. Mrs. Shepherd charges that for a period of more than three years Shepherd has failed to provide for her support; that he compelled her to clothe herself and children, and to do the work of a farm hand in the fields, cutting corn and stacking hay, grain and cane; that in March, 1903, when she was ill and about to become a mother, he refused to employ a physician, although a competent physician was less than a mile away, as a result of which neglect her child was still-born; that she, by hard labor, accumulated twenty-two head of cattle and seven head of horses, which the defendant took from her and diverted to his own use, and that the defendant sold their joint homestead in Nebraska for $500 and retained all of the money. Denounnces Tyranny of Federal Courts Lincoln, Neb.-Because of the restraining order granted by Judge Munger of the Federal Court to prevent the railway commission from promulgating a new grain-rate schedule, Governor George L. Sheldon declared himself in favor of a constitutional amendment taking from the federal courts the right to enjoin state officials from enforcing state laws. "I believe the federal courts have abused the privilege of injunction enough to justify such action," he said. "Too many state laws have been tied up by the interference of the federal courts. I do not believe the makers of the constitution ever contemplated such use of the injunction in the hands of the federal courts." JUST A GENTLE HINT. One Remedy Appearances Indicated Nobleman Had Never Tried. The earl of Surrey, afterward eleventh duke of Norfolk, who was a notorious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beefsteak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his servants used to avail themselves of his fits of drunkenness—which were pretty frequent, by the way—for the purpose of washing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful ablutions. He was equally notorious for his horror of clean linen. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club that he had become a perfect martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without success, the latter wittily replied: "Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?" BRUTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS. A Great Surgeon Barred from Membership in Medical Association. (From the National Druggist for June, 1907.) Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was co-extensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the highest order, but a tireless and exhaustive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first successful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone operation in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory results, the seventy-second patient falling of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, matchless as was his skill, varied and extensive as was his learning, wonderful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership in that organization. No charges were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done anything unbecoming a man or a gentleman. "The head and front of his offending had this extent—no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be his inferiors had set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial infraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was only defeated by his hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in the A. M. A. is dependent upon membership in the local and State societies, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so, though he had saved thousands of lives; though other physicians had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast—a medical "scab;" not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Medical Association! And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that position; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd requirements that they choose to set up; which, in short, is trying to put upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect, establish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not members of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever succeeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be independent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protecting the public health. In fine, a medical bureaucracy will be established to tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and carefully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. If they will do this they will see that we are not trying to create a bugaboo to frighten their timid souls. If a man speaks or acts with pure thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.—Buddha. The train was just disappearing around a curve as the drummer reached the depot.

Hannay and Huxley James Hannay, once a member of the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette, was a typical man of letters. And Huxley, as everybody knows, was a typical scientific man. Hannay had been a midshipman when Huxley was a naval surgeon. Years after, the two met each other on the steps of the British museum. "Huxley," said Hannay, "I care nothing for man except as a creature of historical tradition." "Nor I," answered Huxley, "for him except as a compound of gas and water."

STANDLEY GETS A START IMMENSE HOLLOW DAM Denver.—The first sod was actually turned on the great Standley Lake dam which when built is to give Colorade one of the biggest irrigation plants in the world, and transform thousands of acres right at Denver's door from bar- renness into a land of the rose, ot wheat, corn, oats and other necess!- ties. The Knowlton-Bollen Construc- tion Company of Denyer has the con tract to strip the dam site of all plant substance and to complete it in thirty days for work on the dam proper. The next important step after the excavation work is the erection of a core wall six feet in width through the center of the site, from one end to the other, nearly one and a half miles. This wall will rise four feet above the sur- face of the ground and go to bedrock. ‘The Standley Lake reservoir is being built by the Denver Reservoir Irriga- tion Company, backed by MiltonSmith, E. A. Neresheimer and other prominent Coloradoans. It is to be a lake directly above rich gold and coal deposits, and wiil have the distinction of being the only irrigation body to force gold and coal mines (prospective) out of business. The owners of the land made a hard, unsuccessful fight in the courts against the irrigation com- pany. Worked All Summer. Active work has been carried on all summer in construction of water car rying canals on the Western slope. A number of Denver men interested in the development of Colorado were present, and, although no plans had been made for a program, the even’ evolved itself into quite a spectacular affair. W. E. Goldsborough, first vice president and manager, E. A. Neres: heimer, treasurer; Frederick W. Tay: lor, local manager; J. A. Lewis, audi tor; Milton Smith and others were among those present. ‘This water is to be furnished only to stockholders of the Farmers’ Reser yoir & Irrigation Company. The Den- yer company now owns the Church ditch, formerly owned by the Golden, Ralston & Church Ditch Company; the Community ditch, Marshall lake and a chain of eight other reservoirs, for- merly owned by the Community Canal & Reservoir Company, with 15,000 acres of land, formerly owned by the Denver Land Company. This land is nearly all being cultivated and fur- hished with water from the Commu nity system. The entire country, from Denver to Greeley, through the dry district, which has heretofore been but slightly irrigated and cultivated, will during the next year or two be brought under fr yigatfon and cultivation by this great enterprise backed by Denver men. Wanted—A “Polson Sauad.” Urbana, Ill.—“Wanted—Twenty-four young men, with good digestions, for the ‘saltpeter squad.’” ‘This ad attracted deep interest when the University of IMlinois opened this week. A “poison squad,” so called, will be maintained for a year to inves tigate the effect of saltpeter as a pre servative of meat. The American Packers’ Association is footing the bills. ‘The state university chemistry department consented to take charge of the experiment. » ‘Two large houses have been secured for the squad. ‘The young men will be subjected to strict routine. They will not be allowed to eat between meals but will receive board and lodging free. The health, weight and other particulars of the men fed fresh meat will be compared with those who are given the cured meat. No results will be published until the next year Is completed. All meat will be cured at the university. Democratic Women Organizing. Denver—Planning to organize the Democratic women voters of the state in order to give a solid party support to the next. Democratic candidate for the presidency, many of the more jrominent members of the Jane Jeffer son club of Denver, headed by Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, president of the club, are endeavoring to form what {s to be known as the Women’s United Democratic League. The new plans ure broad in their scope, it being the intention of the promoters to reach cut all over the state with the Denver Lranch of the league as headquarters, For some weeks the plan has been in the formulative stage and has been infermally discussed, pro and con, by the club members. ‘As yet no official pction has been taken regarding the Lroject, but it is expected the question will-come up, for-alisposal one way or ‘the other ‘at the next meeting of the club, which 1s to be called by Mrs. Teavitt. To Make Ralls for Safety. New York.—Ex-Judge EB. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, who has just returned from a two months’ vacation abroad, in speaking of the moyement for the !mprovement of steel rails, sald that the commission of experts appointed to consider the sub- ject would probably report in two or three weeks. He sald it woufd be found that the steel manufacturers and. the railroad companies would. make an ef- fort to adopt a standard that would in. sure the safety of the public, TO BRING QUEENSTOWN CLOSER. Modern Steamship Expected to Cut Off ‘Thirteen Hours in Ocean Voyage. i foe Spe tei ge ae ee New York—The great _ turbine steamer Lusitania is expected to cut off thirteen hours from old time be- tween Queenstown and New York. She holds a record of twenty-six knots an j:cur and. the trip across the ocean at this speed would consume five days ‘ond eighteen hours’ time. |. Such time, if made, also will wrest the best Atlantic record from the Ger- mans, now held by the Hamburg- ‘American steamer Deutschland. | The Lusitania and her sister ship, ‘the Mauretania, not yet completed, stand as the largest ships ever built. Both were constructed from the same modeis. ‘The speed of the Lusitania 1s developed from four screws, run by turbine engines of 68,000 horsepower. ‘The number of furnaces is 192, Four funnels, twenty-four feet in diameter and 155 feet high, carry off the smoke. The Lusitania is 790 feet long, cighty-eight feet.broad and with her hunkers filled carries 7,000 tons of coal. Her displacement on low draught {s 45,000 tons and she carries a crew of nearly 900. The Lusitania has accommodations for 650 first-class passengers, 500 second-class and 100 third-class passengers, Queer Case of Elephantlasis. New York.—Physicians at the Kings county hospital, Brooklyn, have the most remarkable case of that rare dis- case, elephantiasis. The patient is Mrs. Juliette Felt of Brooklyn,a widow, sixty-three years old. Before she was attacked by the disease she weighed 140 pounds. She now weighs 525 pounds and is gaining daily in size. Her skin is thick, hard and coarse, like an elephant's. The disease first manifested itself Seven years ago. Two years later she found she weighed 355 pounds, and then in alarm she resorted to medicine and dieting, but these measures were of no avail. A week ago a physician di- agnosed her disease as elephantiasis. An idea of the effect of the disease may be judged from the fact that each of her legs are as large in cireumfer- ence as the body of a well developed man. ‘The doctors do not know whether she will recover. Rock Island to Get the C. & S. New York.—Absorption of the Chi- cago & Alton by the Clover Leaf is not the only change scheduled in the rail- road map of the West and Southwest. Negotiations for the sale of the Col- orado & Southern were on not long since, but because of the unfavorable conditions prevailing in the financial world the project was temporarily abandoned. ‘That the Colorado & Southern will, in the not remote future, become a part of the Rock Island system is ad- mitted by a gentleman who js familiar with every step taken by the Rock Isl- and group. He pointed out that the Colorado & Southern was the logical connection by which the Rock Island might, by the building of about 300 miles of road from its terminus at Orin Junction, Wyo, connect with the Hill roads. Volcano In the Aleutians, Seattle, Wash.—An officer of the revenue cutter Rush, lying at Dutch Harbor, under date of September 4th, writes that on September 1st and 2nd a voleano in the Aleutian Islands broke forth, sending tons of ashes and cinders over a score or more of native villages, frightening the native Alas- kans and whites and covering the decks of the cutter Rush with debris. A hurricane accompanied the phe- momenon and wild fowl of all kinds were driven far out to sea, No lives were reported lost. | The eruption occurred in the vicin- ity of the voleanic island of Perry, which sprang up from tue sea u short time after the San Francisco eartb- quake. Government Crop Report. Washington.—The crop reporting board of the bureau of statistics of the Department of Agriculture in its report finds as follows: Condition of corn on September ist was 80.2, as compared with 82.8 last month, 90.2 on September 1, 1906, and a ten-year average of 81. The average condition of spring wheat when harvested was 77.1 as com: pared with 79.4 last month and 83.4 for 1906 at the time of harvesting. The average condition of the oats crop when harvested was 65.5 against 75.6 last. month, 81.9 on September 1, 1906, and a ten-year average of 82.6. Railroads Defy Commission. Chicago.—At a general conference beld in Chicago the Kansas rallroads dceided to ignore the railroad com- mission of that state and refuse to obey Sts order requiring a two-cent passsenger rate. ‘The decision was Unanimous and was reached after a thorough discussion of the situation. ‘The Kansas roads were represented by the general counsel and thelr execu- ye officers in charge of traffic. It vas not decided to “stand pat” through any spirit of bravado, but upon the ground that the worst the railroads can get from any source, commission cr State Legislature, is a two-cent rate, und the roads do not propose to bow to the will of the commission until le- gelly compelled to do so. Third Defalcation in Six Months. New. Orleans, La—A $100,000 short- age hasbeen discovered in the ac- counts of the state tax commissioner at this city and the police ure search- ing for Charles B. Letten, a clerk in the office, who {s charged with the de- fgleation. This is the third defalca- tion in six months tn the Loutstana tax department. The two previous shortages totaled nearly $100,000, Will Go the Limit. Topeka, Kan.—Governor Hoch statea, on being informed of the action of the rallroads In Chicago in deciding to tg- nore the Kansas two-cen fare order, that he would ‘go to the Hmit of his executive power to enforce the order. He would not say flatly whether or not he would call a special session of the Legislature. HELPS MOFFAT WALL STREET WITHHOLDS AID BUT UTAH COMES TO THE RESCUE. ,- CONNECTS TWO CITIES THERE IS TO BE NO FURTHER DE- LAY IM CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD, -Denver—David H. Moffat has com- bined his finances with those of the Mormon church for the immediate com: pletion of the Moffat road to Salt Lake. “We will run trains between Denver and Salt Lake within two years,” said Mr. Moftat. Mr. Moffat was enthustastic over the outcome of his recent Salt Lake trip. He said: “Actual dirt is now flying in the beginning of the construction of the road from Provo to meet us. There will be no delays. ‘he road will be completed as fast as men and money can do it, “The Utah Construction Company will work separately from our forces in Colorado as far as building is con- cerned. At its head is Jesse Knight, a man with an income of $400,000-a year; Reed Smoot, and the financial support of the Mormon church. “These people and their associates are heavily interested in the bonds of the road. ‘They are as anxious to push construction from that end as I am from this end. “While we were in Salt Lake we ar- ranged our terminals, yards, ete., and the arrangements were most satisfac- tory. The Utah people want the road completed as badly as Denverites. It will open the coal fields in Uintah and Routt counties to them as well as us, and its operation will be of the great- est benefit. Worked for This End. “I have worked three years now to get just the arrangement that I have finally completed and I am satisfied. 1 am back to Denver this time to stay for | a while, and I shall devote my time to the pushing of the construction from this end as rapidly as Mr. Knight and his associates are working from their end. We will meet at the state line. “The route from Provo through the mountains has not been fully deter- mined upon all the way. We have sev- eral surveys but the selection les be- tween two of them. The road will either go through Provo canon or through Hobble Creek canon east of Springville.” Mr. Moffat’s interview settles, evi- dently, all question of the completion of the road without the aid of Wall street. His positive statement of com- dination of the capital of the Mormon churck! with the capital which he and his associates controls makes certain a sufficient amount of money to finish the road without the sale of the bonds either in New York or London. All Obstacles Removed. "Mr. Moffat is as pleased as can be over the final success of his negotia- tions with the Utah capitalists. He said in the course of his talk: “There is not a single obstacle re- maining ta the speedy completion of the road.” ‘What effect the agreement will have on the transcontinental railroad situ- ation is hard to predict. Heretofore the Harriman interests, which control the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Ore- gon Short Line and Clark properties, besides owning a sufficient interest to practically dictate the Santa Fe man- agement, have steadfastly refused to buy the Moffat road bonds, besides plac- ing every obstacle in the way of their sale. ‘This was done in the belief that Mr. Moffat could not complete the road without them and would eventually come to their terms. Now, that completion is assured a traffle arrangement with the Burling- ton {a SAE Iikely. A Big Mining Deal. Silverton, Colo—One of the biggest mining deals consummated in the San Juan district for some time has been closed here with the payment of $5,000 as the initial installment in the pur- chase of the Ariande property. The price is said to be $100,000, although full particulars of the deal have not been made public. ‘The mine is located on Boulder mountain and is recognized as the lead- ing producer of the district. With the closing of this deal it passes from the original locator and owner, Alfred Iles. He has worked the property vigorously and taken out exceptionally rich ore. The mine ig developed by shaft and drifts to a depth of 200 feet, and is for the greater part in first-class shipping ore. Mineral broken in the lowest workings returns $100 to the ton, while from the upper levels,a splendid lead silver product is being extracted. ‘The purchasers of the mine are sala to be eastern capitalists. They are represented by EB. C. Condit. He has had an option on the property for two months. Burolars Murder a Woman. Norfolk, Va.—Mrs. Mary “Lawless Rorschach, wife of a lieutenant in the United States navy and sister of Jo- seph T, Lawless, former secretary of the commonwealth of Virginia, was murdered in her home, 832 Park ave- nue, Parkview, Portsmouth, by an un- krown burglar, She was shot through the heart with her own pistol, taken from her hand by the burglar after she had fired twice upon him through an cpen door leading into the kitchen where he was cornered. Whether the murderer was a negro or white man is unknown. He escaped, dropping the pistol as he fled from the house, Bloodhounds ‘brought from Ports- mouth secured a scent. but soon lost it Open Day and Night. Phone Main 3725. Q. J.

MONEY is plentiful in Colorado, but we have not received all that is coming to us from our subscribers. If the subscriber should be deprived of his pay, or any part of it, at the end of the week or month of labor as he deprives us of ours, what a howl he would raise. But we have earned our money as well as he earns his.

It is not fair, Mr. Subscriber. We need our share of the money that in flowing through Colorado, and your prosperity ought to remind you that you have been reading a first-class paper without paying for it. FALL OPENINGS. A GLANCE over our advertising columns each week is well worth your while. Denver merchants are always abreast of the times, and their announcements in these columns are reliable. Fill and winter stocks are now on their shelves or being placed there as fast as busy bands can handle them, and they comprise beautiful new patterns and fancies which experienced buyers have recently selected from the greatest factories of the East and many choice creations from Europe. Such radical changes in styles and fashions as are in vogue nowadays would seem to put merchants to their wits' ends to keep their stocks new and up-to-date, but there is no city in the United States whose stores are in closer touch with the styles of Fifth avenue in Gotham and the ultra fashions of Paris and London than are those of Denver. A trip across the country to the seaboard furnishes satisfactory proof of this fact. A trip through the stores on Sixteenth street and the other important thoroughfares will persuade those who cannot go East to the belief that we know what we are talking about. While the displays for women buyers are the most extravagant and alluring, those for men are by no means to be passed without admiring. There are some wide departures in this autumn's styles, and there are some astonishing bargains to be picked from the present display. But a glance over our columns each week will give you the best ideas of the stores and their bargains. If you live outside of Denver you can rely upon a mail order to bring you anything you see advertised in the columns of The Colorado Statesman. A NEW POLITICAL PROPOSITION POLITICAL sagacity is a trait which the colored people, as a rule, are not credited with possessing, and although we strive through campaign after campaign to overcome the discrediting influence of this supposition, we nevertheless confirm it in a measure by the little that we accomplish in the way of securing practical standing in party organizations and adequate representation in official places. The fault is largely ours, undoubtedly, but it is not altogether so. A broad, liberal, just and intelligent political organization is the first step necessary in the effort to gain control of the conditions with which we have to deal, but after this it is also necessary to realize that a certain peculiar prejudice exists among the leaders and in the organizations of the party to which we give general allegiance, which must be met with that stock of practical argument which is supposed to grow in Missouri more plentifully than in other states. In other words, it is necessary to show most politicians that the claims of an element in a party are about what they are represented to be. In the city of Denver the colored people claim a voting strength of about 4,200, with about four times that number in the entire state. This part of the population is not a floating element, but is composed largely of substantial, reliable citizens, many owning homes and business properties, and ninety-five per cent. of them steadily following industrious avocations. Statistics will show that thrifty, intelligent and desirable colored people are coming to Colorado in large numbers from all parts of the United States, and that many of them are bringing money and investing it here in business and in permanent homes. They are devoting themselves as assiduously as any other element in the general population to the improvement of their own conditions and the development of the higher interests of the several communities and the state at large. They are never counted as a disturbing element in the social order, create no friction in the labor or business fields, and can always be depended upon as reliable adherents to the commonwealth's sturdiest policies for peace, law and order. And for these people the politicians choose a stalking horse as a representative and counselor in campaign times and upon his advice or their own uninstructed judgment deal out a meager official representation, when the elections have been won. There is natural, widespread and increasing dissatisfaction among colored voters with this course. The complaints of individuals, and of newspapers are taking shape. There is no reason why the colored people should not be treated in the same manner as any other important element in the political parties. Men and women whose prominence are generally recognized among their own people can most satisfactorily represent that people in political councils and party affairs. The Colorado Political Club is a recent organization in the city of Denver and its object is to attain these beneficent results. It is starting early in order to place its objects and endeavors squarely and fairly before all the people before the next general campaign. It will have no individual axes to grind, but will devote its efforts to the improvement of the benevolent conditions affecting the colored voters of this state. It will invite a large membership and will seek the establishment and cooperation of similar branches in all of the prominent cities and towns in Colorado. Organization is the watchword, and the sinking of personal ambitions for the general good of the people, as the organization itself shall plan and recommend, are to be the features by which The Colorado Political Club will be distinguished from all others. If more than one campaign shall be required for its permanent recognition and ultimate success, it will not be deterred. We bespeak for it the consideration of voters throughout Colorado. The Dramatic Author Is Inferior to the Actor By YVETTE GUILBERT. THE dramatic art is the poorest of all as many hands to be able to retain its public, after it has been trampled up faded condition and stripped of its power.

The comedian's role in the drama is far smallerist. The comedian relies upon himself for the dramatist; he utilizes with ease his own force if he has any talent he will use it wherever he will ever necessary.

He 10 minutes the artistic nobil use, the wit of Rejane, the less, laughter, tears, love, life being? HE dramatic art is the poorest of all arts. It passes through too many hands to be able to retain its real value. It reaches the public, after it has been trampled upon and cut to pieces, in a faded condition and stripped of its beauty. The author who has pored over his own sheets of paper knows his play in his own particular way; the manager who receives it looks at it with a different eye, the stage manager gives his opinion, and the actor considers it according to his own temperament and means, while the public who welcome it stare at it with a fifth eye! To this number add another dozen or more of accessory actors. Poor author! How could he expect to remain master of such an effort when so many collaborators are bound to upset the harmony? The best interpreted author is the one who abandons himself to the hands of his interpreters—of course, if they are talented. If they are artists they will employ the best means of utilizing his canvas. They will, perhaps, find out certain effects which the author sought to convey, but if left to themselves will discover or create other impressions, which will contain more brilliancy and taste, because they spring from a fount which produces masterpieces. The comedian's role in the drama is far superior to that of the dramatist. The comedian relies upon himself for success; he can do without the dramatist; he utilizes with ease his own forces for tragedy or comedy; if he has any talent he will use it wherever he thinks fit, and vary it whenever necessary. As Scaramouche before Moliere, he will, without the help of others, reveal his true power, whether comical or tragic. There always have been from time immemorial certain "grimaciers" of genius who could act without the text of others! The day the comedian refuses to interpret his work the dramatist simply will starve. He will find himself faced with the alternative of interpreting his own plays, like Shakespeare or Moliere. The day perhaps will come when "improvisation," spontaneous and immediate, will replace modern drama, which is studied and repeated, which makes us weep automatically and laugh a hundred times over, every night at the same hour! Routine! Routine! Why not create a new art, where the actors will enter the arena and the public suggest to them certain actions to simulate, certain characters to create, ask them to give a dozen different impersonations? This will be the only means of revealing true, sincere, and manifold talents, whose destinies no longer will be guided by the author, the stage manager, the director, but who will be emancipated and freed of all restrained emotions. How long will it be before we have a theater of improvisers? How long before the abolition of theatrical slavery? How long before the possibility of showing in 20 minutes the artistic nobility of Sarah Bernhardt, the humanity of La Duse, the wit of Rejane, the farce of Galipaux—distinction, beauty, ugliness, laughter, tears, love, life and death? When will that theater come into being? Taxing the Bachelor By DR.

Il faut souffrir pour bachelor can be quite certain. He has no fixity of te to beauty, or to acknowledge the sovereignty of woman. He is a perpetual challenge to the powers of fascination exercised by the fair sex. His defiant attitude courts attack, and puts every girl of spirit on her mettle. Every bachelor that escapes the wiles of the hunter, means one bride the less and one aching heart the more. No bachelor retains his state of insularity without a struggle. Il faut souffrir pour etre bachelier. And no professed bachelor can be quite certain that he may not of a sudden become a benedict. He has no fixity of tenure, but trembles in the balance from day to day. He knows that life is full of surprises, and sweet and twenties. Also that it is always the unexpected girl that happens. His bachelor life is simply lived from hand to mouth. To-morrow some other hand and mouth may claim his undivided attention. He never knows when he is safe. Even into the seclusion of his club the airs and graces of gentle womanhood find their way through the medium of the illustrated papers. Can he resist the appeal of beauty that pleads to him in half-tones? Can he continue to frown on a sex that smiles on him to assiduously every week for sixpence? Perish the photographers! The bachelor who, "in spite of all temptations" to multiply relations, remains single to the end of the chapter deserves a better fate. He is such stuff as heroes are made off. He is a brave man. Obviously he would have made an excellent husband; possibly, an exemplary father. As it is he has shirked his plain duty of transmitting his misogynist qualities to posterity. Imagine how he would have strengthened his cause and helped the glorious propaganda in future ages, had he left half a dozen sons to preach the tenets of bachelorhood when he had been gathered to his golden opportunities. His attitude of mastery inactivity though perhaps, dignified, is certainly dangerous. No man can shirk allegiance to the sex or his duty to the state with impunity. Charmers and tax collectors alike will see to it that he contributes his fair share towards the prosperity of his country. He must be made to contribute in money what he refuses in men. But, after all, the modern bachelor is by no means so black as he is painted. He is simply one of those exceptional men who have been born without the genius for matrimony. To marry at all, a man requires inspiration; to marry well, aspiration; and to marry foolishly, desperation. None of these qualities has been vouchsafed to the singular being who delib- erately and of malice prepense leads the single life. As the result of his unnatural mode of life he becomes self-centered, warped, selfish, irritable, and difficult to please. He has no home, as the word is generally understood. He may have a house and a retinue of servants, but as "stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a caged rooms and a retinue do not make a home. From the point of view of scientific evolution he is an outcast, a mere wanderer in clubland. He has no fixed place in the general scheme of nature. What, then, is he here for? "To be taxed," say the ladies unanimously. Well, perhaps they are right. T O Bachelor-baiting has been for ages one of the favorite sports of women.

When Pressed It Makes as Fine a Dish as Could Be Desired— Steamed with Rice and Mushrooms. Pressed Chicken.—Cover a young fowl, cut in joints, with boiling water, and let simmer until tender, together with a few slices of carrot, half an onion, and a stalk of celery. Remove the skin and bones, and return them with the broth to the fire, and let simmer until reduced to about one cup; strain and set aside. When the flesh is nearly cold, cut into tiny cubes or chop fine; remove the fat from the broth, reheat, and stir the chicken into it, adding salt and pepper and other seasoning as desired. Decorate a mold with slices of hard-boiled eggs; in this pack the hot chicken, cover with a buttered paper bearing a weight, and let stand until cold and set. Serves, sliced thin, with salad. Steamed Fowl with Rice and Mushrooms.—Truss a fowl for boiling, rub with the cut side of a lemon and lay on slices of salt pork or bacon and steam with an onion and two or three stalks of celery until tender—three hours or longer. Have ready a mound of boiled rice, seasoned with butter and salt, and dispose the fowl upon this. Arrange mushrooms cooked in the usual manner about the rice. Serve with the strained chicken liquor, thickened with flour and enriched with two egg yolks, beaten with a half cupful of cream. Jellied Chicken.—Boil a chicken and let it get cold in the liquor. Skim the liquor from every particle of fat. Remove all the skin and bones from the chicken and cut the meat into pieces of uniform size. Soak a half-cup of gelatin in a half-cup of cold water. Mix with the chicken a dozen stoned olives cut up small and two dozen canned mushrooms, also cut small. Bring the chicken liquor to a boil, add the soaked gelatin and when this is dissolved take from the fire and set aside to cool. When it begins to to "Jelly," pour a little of it into a mold wet with cold watertr, put in a layer of the chicken mixture and when this begins to stiffen add more of the jelly and more of the chicken, continuing in this way until the mold is full. Set in the ice chest for 24 hours. When ready to serve wipe off the outside of the mold with a cloth wrung out in hot water and turn the chicken out upon a chilled platter. Cleaning Rings. Rings set with precious stones should always be inspected from time to time to ascertain if the gems are at all loose, especially in the case of claw settings. It is also a good plan to wash them periodically in warm soapsuds, to which a few drops of sal volatile have been added, an exception being made, however, in the case of turquoises, which should not be dampened. In every case the claw settings should be cleaned by means of a wisp of blotting paper rolled into the form of a shading "stump" and worked into the interstices so as to clear them of any accumulation of dirt. The First-Aid Valise. The latest production of those purveyors who are always inventing something useful for the motorist is called the first-aid valise. It is a small but very useful pendium of remedies for brushes, cuts and other ills that may, alas! befall the traveler on an automobile. Rolls of lint, flasks of cooling lotions, scissors, a small bottle of brandy and other items of first-aid utility are contained in a little leather box, the color of which must be determined by the lining of the car. Sunshine Cake. Three-quarters cups of butter and two cups sugar creamed, yolks of ten eggs, two and one-half cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one cup milk, one teaspoon of lemon or orange. Bake in steady oven 50 minutes and frost with yellow frosting, made of the yolk of one egg, one tablespoon water and one teaspoon lemon or orange flavoring. Add confectioner's sugar till thick enough to spread. Bedroom Set in Applique. Bedroom sets in shadow-work applique are charming, and may be used over white or colored linings, and the effect of these filmy embroideries over highly polished woods must be seen to be appreciated. In laundering this class of work it must be pulled and smoothed into place before it becomes dry. A cloth should be placed between it and the iron, and the pressing continued until the article is thoroughly dry. A. Picture Hint. A pretty fancy is the use of shallow boxes in the framing of small prints. Photographic views, carefully colored with Japanese paints, are set in boxes one to one and a half inches deep. Some of the prettiest of these are set in gray wood, the tint of weather exposed shingles. The colorings of the photographs is not difficult to learn. The amateur photographer will find this a suggestion for utilizing summer vacation "takes" for the recoration of a special room or for charming and inexpensive Xmas gifts. To Remove Scorch. Any article which has become scorched in ironing, if placed directly in the sun, will be restored to its natural color. No trace of the scorch will remain. A HINT ON ENTERTAINING. How One Woman Has Done Away with Much Labor. A woman who does her own work and yet likes to entertain a good deal has brought order out of chaos and made the work lighter for herself by limiting her dinner to three hot dishes. She serves first iced canteloupe, grape fruit or oysters, according to the season; then meat, potatoes and one vegetable. Salad and dessert are prepared before hand, and so is the coffee. She serves all but the three hot dishes—which, of course, must be brought from the kitchen—from a small serving table at her side, which has two shelver beneath it and an outstanding bracket shelf for the clean and used dishes. The coffee, in a French coffee pot, stands on one of the brackets of the serving table and boils merrily until required. PLUMS SERVED IN BATTER. Dessert That Is Especially Popular with Masculine Palates. Make a batter with two beaten eggs, five tablespoonfuls of flour, rather more than a pint of milk, and a pinch of salt. Remove the stones from a quart of large, ripe plums, crack them, put the kernels inside of the plums again, mix the fruit with two heaping tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and stir it lightly into the batter. Turn it into a buttered pudding dish, and bake in a hot oven until done, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve hot with half a cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar and one well-beaten egg stirred to a cream and flavored with half a teaspoonful of nectar. This dessert is especially popular with masculine palates. Belt for Old Gloves. Eve girl finds in her possession one o. more pairs of discarded long gloves. Pretty and durable suede belts can be made from the same by simply ripping up the seam and cutting off the hand. The glove is then the right shape for the belt when opened out and two pieces joined in the center. Line the glove with silk cut on the bias, turn over the edges, and stitch on the machine. Also stitch the back and finish with three gold bosses or flat buttons covered with kid cut from the hands of the gloves. Another way of finishing is to tie the kid in three or four small bows. For the front use a pearl buckle or a small steel one covered with the reather. To Clean Trimmings. Among the new embroideries are those in raised silver and gold work. These are handsome and expensive, and one who knows says they should never be brushed in the ordinary way of cleaning trimmings, but that a piece of crimson velvet should be taken and rubbed very slowly and gently over them. Of course, we are all familiar with the use of black velvet as a dust cloth for hats and fine black materials, the fine nap penetrating and carrying away dust without injury where nothing else could, but what virtue there is in crimson velvet, aside from its texture, is hard to guess, but it is possible, of course, that there may be some effect in the dye used. Cold-Water Process of Canning. Wash the fruit thoroughly, and in case of rhubarb cut into small pieces, as for pies. If gooseberries are used, top and tail them. Pack into glass jars that have been sterilized and then fill the jars to overflowing with freshly drawn water. Put on the covers and let them stand overnight. By the next morning you will find that the fruit has taken up more or less of the water, and that there is quite a vacuum to be filled. Drain off the water and fill again with fresh cold water to overflowing, letting the water come with sufficient force to drive out any air. Then seal closely and put away for winter use. Gooseberry Preserves For every quart of rough red gooseberries which have been stemmed and ended, take one pound of white sugar, dissolve it in the preserving kettle with enough water to make a thick sirup. Let boil 20 minutes, skimming well; then put in the gooseberries and boll five minutes; then set by until the next day, when boll again until they have a clear look and the sirup is thick. Pour into hot jelly glasses and cover when cool. Milk-Stewed Potatoes. Into double boiler put three cups of milk, one quart of sliced raw potatoes (measure after slicing), salt and pepper to taste. Keep covered and cook till tender—about an hour. Then beat two eggs, add one cup milk, and taking the boiler from the fire, mix with potatoes, stirring quickly, then set boiler back for few minutes to cook the eggs. Mint Punch of Ginger Ale. Make a rich lemonade by boiling-one quart of water and one cupful of sugar together for five minutes and adding the juice of five lemons, the grated rind of one, when the sirup is cool. Put into the punch bowl with a lump of ice in the center and add one quart of ginger ale. Bruise the leaves and stems of half a dozen sprigs of mint and add to the punch a quarter of an hour before serving. Iron Rust on White Goods To remove iron rust from white goods which have been spotted by the wash kettle rub a cut lemon over the apots to wet them fully with the juice. Then rub on salt and hang them out in the sun to dry. If the spot is not removed by the first application repeat the process. CITY NEWS. George W. Hall of Kansas City, brother-in-law of J. H.

Ingredients Required Are Simple and Always on Hand—Dutch Rolls a Welcome Addition to Any Menu. I have found, after a great many experiments, that no less than six tasty, attractive and extremely economical dishes may be made from this one simple but reliable formula, properly carried out, writes "A. M. B." in the Delineator. The ingredients required are: One quart of sifted flour, five teaspoonfuls of baking powder, half a cupful of butter, one small teaspoonful of sugar, half a small teaspoonful of salt and sufficient milk to make the dough of a soft consistency. My method of mixing is to sift the baking powder with the flour. I then add the butter, which must previously have been cut into small pieces, and follow with the sugar and salt. I mix all these ingredients together thoroughly with the hands, rubbing the butter well into the flour, after which I add the milk. I then mix as lightly and handle as little as possible. With this dough as a foundation it will be easy to prepare any one of the following dishes: 1. Tea Biscuits.—Place the dough on the mixing-board and flatten it with the hand until it is no more than an inch in thickness, but do not use the rolling pin upon it. Cut the biscuits with a tumbler, cup or biscuit cutter, and bake in a buttered tin, in a moderate oven for about half an hour. 2. Dutch Rolls.—Roll the dough out until it is about half an inch thick; then dot it with small bits of butter, about half an inch apart. Sprinkle generously with sugar, and roll as if making a roly-poly; then cut in slices, each about an inch thick, and bake in a well-buttered pan in a hot oven for about an hour. 3. Raisin Loaf.—Make he mixture as directed, but add half a pound of raisins before adding the milk; then bake in a bread tin, in a slow oven for three-quarters of an hour. 4. Shortcake.—Mix as directed; then bake in a round tin for half an hour. Split the cakes and butter them while hot; afterwards place a layer of fresh fruit or preserves between them and serve with sifted sugar and whipped cream. 5. Roly-Poly Pudding.—Mix as directed; roll the dough until it is about half an inch thick; then cover it with fresh fruit and roll it up. Place it in a granite dish or earthen bowl and steam for half an hour. If preferred, the dough may be covered with jam or jelly, and, after being rolled up tightly, baked, a process that will take about three-quarters of an hour. 6. Pie Crust.—This mixture will also make a good, plain pie crust, and is especially good when used in making meat pies. To Clean Furniture. Go over the furniture with a cloth dipped in paraffin oil and allow it to stand for an hour, which will loosen the dirt. Next wash the furniture with a suds made of pure soap and rain water. Rub very dry with a soft cloth and polish with a piece of white flannel dipped in turpentine. This will not injure a piano, but restores the brilliant polish. Furniture gets dull because it's dirty and needs to be cleaned with soap and water. Chocolate, Bread, Pudding. Prepare a cup of fine white bread crumbs; melt two squares of chocolate and mix with a quart of hot milk; add the crumbs, a pinch of salt and sugar to taste. Pour over the yolks of two beaten eggs, and bake till set; cool, spread with jam and cover with a meringue. VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS AND W. J. BRYAN IN DENVER AT SAME TIME. BOTH HAVE A SAY VICE PRESIDENT IS DELIGHTED WITH CORDIAL GREETING HE RECEIVED. Denver—Denver and Colorado entertained two distinguished citizens on September 9th, "at one and the same time," One was the Great Commoner Bryan and the other Vice President Fairbanks. Bryan came to deliver a lecture before the Woman's Club and the vice president was on a pleasure trip. At a banquet tendered Mr. Fairbanks he made a ten minutes' talk in which he said: Fairbanks Enjoys Hospitality. "It is positively gratifying," said Mr. Fairbanks, "to be your guest this evening. I want to thank you one and all for your generous and kindly welcome. It was my purpose to go eastward direct from Sacramento, without coming to Denver, but I found that it was impossible to take any other road, as all roads lead to Denver, and I am tonight highly honored as your guest. "I have just come from Sacramento, where I attended the Irrigation congress, which enjoyed a representation from every state in this republic. And I want to say that in my judgment, no act placed upon the statute books has accomplished so much for the West as the national irrigation law of 1902. It was built up by the agricultural industry of the West, contributed to the prosperity of the prosperity of the nation, been the cause of the rapid growth of many cities and developed trade and commerce. It has made possible a higher and better civilization in the West, and the general prosperity of the nation has been accelerated by the impetus given the great western movement. Prosperity Emphasized. "In no state in the Union has the tremendous wave of national prosperity been more strongly emphasized than in Colorado, and Denver as its capital and premier city is the consequent recipient of these benefits. It has been my privilege in the past to know of the resources of this state. Twenty-two years ago I first passed over the broad expanse of this ever wonderful state. Contrasting the conditions then existing and those which today greet the fortunate residents of this state I will say that the intermediate period has been one that has contributed handsomely to the material welfare of the state and nation. The influences which have been at work during that period have worked marvelous results both in the industrial and intellectual affairs of this great community. "Yesterday I visited Grand Junction. If ever the spirit of optimism dwelled in the people of any district, it certainly obtains in Grand Junction. I reached that city this morning at 5 o'clock, travel-stained and tired, and was met by a committee of citizens, who presented me with a box of native-grown Colorado peaches. I be lieve the same spirit of progress which I found in Grand Junction prevails in every city in this splendid state. Individual Rights. "This country is now enjoying a period of prosperity which extends from ocean to ocean, and this prosperity will always be entrenched and fortified so long as the individual rights of the people are preserved. I have profound respect for all classes and I respect the different political views of all, as every man in this country has a right to his political judgment that I myself insist on enjoying. "This republic was never intended as a country of caste, and it fs always the live issue with the people to work out their destinies together. Every American enjoys the same rights and privileges as his brother." The vice president then concluded his remarks, again expressing his pleasure at being in Denver and declaring that the full measure of the cordial sentiment expressed to him was fully appreciated and he hoped that the great loyal legion of the commonwealth of Colorado would continue the splendid efforts that had in the past contributed to the welfare of the state in its development and the fostering of its resources. Some Bryan Epigrams. If I should make a straight-out Democratic speech the chances are that President Roosevelt would make one so much like it that it would at once become non-partisan. If the President has as much trouble with my ideas as I have had, he'll soon give them back to me. Some people resent the idea of the President usurping the speaker's platform. I don't. The platform was made for speeches, and so long as I can't use it the President may as well occupy it, if he is going to use my speeches. I am so anxious to see a reform in politics that I am glad to have the President adopt my ideas. I am glad to help him, and, after all the necessary reforms are secured, then will be time enough to quarrel, over where the honors belong. The President is doing so much reform work along my lines of late that I can afford to take a vacation and let him carry on the work. Says Taft Is a Postponer J. W. Bryan did not make a public speech, but he submitted to an interview, and in part he said: "The division of the Republican party is a deep-rooted one and is to determine whether the party is to be controlled by the reform element or the standpatters. When the name of Taft was mentioned the genial, big-hearted man laid back in his chair and laughed the laugh of contentment. When he recovered he recalled how he had started a few days ago a name for the Secretary of War as the "Great Postponer," remarking: "A man deserves what he earns, doesn't he?" "Mr. Taft objects to the name I gave him," he began. "But see if you don't agree with me that he earned it. In his Columbus speech he presented an argument in favor of an income tax, but stated that he was not in favor of it at this time. "The secretary believes in an inheritance tax, but thinks—and he says so—that we don't need it just now. "As he told you people here in Denver a week ago, he favors a revision of the tariff, but he says 'Don't touch it now; wait till after awhile.' "And in Oklahoma a short time ago he advised the citizens to reject the constitution and postpone statehood until another enabling act is passed. "And now he is on his way to the Philippines to address the new assembly, yet he has said on various occasions that the Filipinos should postpone for a generation or two the adoption of home government and their aspirations for independence. His discussion on this matter shows that he believes in a colonial policy and that he disputes the doctrines set forth in the Declaration of Independence. While he himself seems disposed to acquiesce in the suffrage amendments adopted in the South, he overlooks the fact that the black man of the South is better treated than the brown man of the Philippines. The black man of the South in our own country has the protection of the constitutions, state and national, while the constitution is denied the Filipino. Backward on Trusts. "He favors the construction put on the anti-trust law by the minority of the Supreme Court on the merger question, thus taking a backward step on this most important subject of the trusts. The law is against any merger on combination in restraint of trade, but Mr. Taft does not go as far into the subject of the trusts as the country did seventeen years ago, when the Sherman act was passed. "There is only one thing he does not want postponed, that is government by injunction." And here is where Mr. Bryan replies to the attack on him by Secretary Taft in his speech here, when he said that Bryan did not want to trust the laws of the country in the hands of the people. Referring to the objections of Secretary Taft to the Oklahoma charter, he said that Taft thinks the judge should be supreme, and that he regarded injunction superior to the jury system Mr. Bryan declined to discuss at any length the possible candidates of the Republican party for President, and made a sarcastic thrust, although in a pleasant way, at the history of the Republican conventions. Is Not a Prophet. "I wouldn't attempt to say what the Republican convention will do or who it will name for its candidates," he said. "Anyone who has any regard for his own reputation as a prophet would not attempt to guess what a Republican convention would do. It is too early to predict who will be the Republican candidate for the presidency." Mr. Bryan took occasion to again attack the public utterances of the big man of the Cabinet. In support of his optimism for the victory of the Democratic party, he referred to three issues, the trusts, the tariff and railroad legislation, and declared that the promises of success were greater this year than ever before and constantly improving, due, he declared, to two causes: "First, to the growth in popularity of Democratic ideas, as shown by the fact that President Roosevelt himself has gained popularity by indorsing them, and, second, from the fact that the Democratic party is growing more united and the Republican party more divided. Married the Wrong Twin. Paris, Tul—Mrs. Ada Thomas of Chrisman, Edgar county, complainant in a suit for divorce against Calvin Thomas, declares that she was tricked into marrying the defendant, who closely resembles his twin brother, Alvin Thomas, and that she did not discover the mistake until after the marriage ceremony. After a courtship lasting about three months Mrs. Thomas says she made an appointment to meet Alvin here, and they were to go to Charleston to marry. It develops that Alvin's ardor had cooled and he sent Calvin to meet his fiancee at the train. Mrs. Thomas states that she had not the slightest suspicion of the deception, and that when Calvin expressed a willingness to go to Charleston that night she consented. Mrs. Thomas discovered that she had been duped when she happened to see the twins together upon her return here the next day. After two years of unhappy married life with the wrong twin she sued for her freedom. Babes Smothered in Grain. Hastings, Neb.-Two children of H. H. Mohlman, aged two and five years, respectively, were instantly killed in a peculiar manner at the farm home of Fred Grothen, five miles northwest of this city. Mohlman was assisting Grothen in scooping grain from a wagon to the bin after hauling it from the machine. When the children came from the home across the road they sat down in the shade of the granary while the men were emptying the wagon. The children had been seated but a moment on the ground, when the side of the big bin, containing 2,000 bushels of wheat, gave way, covering the babies several feet in depth, and before the grain could be shoveled away both were dead. There are four other children in the family, one younger and three older than the two deceased. J. D. ORACO. N. M. CAMPIGLIA 'Phone Main 4885. C. & C.

She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Robert Montgomery and Mrs. Flora Prince of this county, and Mrs. Marshal Chambers of Leadville, also two sons, William and Edward of Grand Encampment, Wyoming. Plans for opening Westminster university at Denver have been completed and the faculty engaged. The board of trustees announces that the university will open at the Central Presbyterian church, Wednesday, September 18th. Just as soon as the repairs on the big building north of the city are completed and the electric line is started, the work will be transferred to the university buildings. In connection with a report recently published that there are 12,000,000 detective children in the United States, the highly favorable annual report of the Board of Health of Colorado Springs is most interesting. Out of a total of 5,500 school pupils only twenty are mentally defective, but a few more are defective physically. On an average of one child out of fifty is absent on account of illness. More important to Denver than anything previously accomplished by the Colorado Manufacturers' Association is the new reduction in rates on sixty-eight different commodities between Colorado common points and El Paso, Texas. The new schedule, which will go into effect on legal notice, in about forty-five days, will give Denver shippers a horizontal reduction in commodity rates averaging 20 per cent. This will give the Denver shippers a corresponding differential under St. Louis and the Missouri river points and will open up a new territory for Colorado products the importance of which it is difficult to estimate. Preferring to die rather than attend high school, it is alleged, Hazel Sticknell, the eighteen-year-old daughter of W. R. Sticknell, a prominent resident of Kansas City, shot herself in the breast with a .38-calliber revolver at Colorado Springs, sustaining probably fatal injuries. The last word spoken by her before the attempt to end her life was to her aunt. She asked if she must attend high school. Mrs. Owen replied that she knew her father's wishes in the matter and that she should start to school. Miss Sticknell then went to her room, ostensibly to dress for school. A few minutes later a pistol shot was heard and Mr. and Mrs. Owen, rushing upstairs, found the girl lying face downward on the bed, the revolver by her side. A Greeley special, dated Monday, says: "William Jones, custodian of the Frank Marks estate, has succeeded in finding seventy horses belonging to Marks, who was murdered a week ago in his cabin, five miles west of here. Today Lewis Wilson, Charles Cole and Henry Arbuckle were appointed appraisers of this property, which will bring in the neighborhood of $5,000 and which will probably revert to the county, as Marks had no heirs. No arrests have been made in this case, but the club with which the fatal blow is supposed to have been dealt and which disappeared from the cabin has been returned as mysteriously as it was taken. It is a heavy hoe handle, which Japs and Russians use in the beet fields, and it is partially covered with blood. It is in the possession of the sheriff." A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation In a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Tom Ochiltree's Moon. After Tom Ochiltree, that able congress raconteur and laugh generator for the afflicted rich, settled in New York as the amuser of the John W. Mackay family, he effervesced in a thousand different directions, and was as good in some ways as Sam Ward. One night he escorted John Mackay's friend, the Count de Biscout, down to the Battery to show the sight of New York. The moon was grand, and the count went into raptures as "her maiden reflection rippled over the pearly waters." He cried: "Eet is grand! Eet is grand! Dair is no such moon in all Italy!" "Count," said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted the occasion, "you just ought to see the moon in Texas!" 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. A Pardonable Fault. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, discussing a rather finicky attack that had been made on certain recent statements, smiled and said: "But who or what is biamelesss? It is like the case of the Scottish hen. An old Scottish woman wished to sell a hen to a neighbor. "But tell me,' the neighbor said, 'is she a'thegither a guild bird? Has she got nae fauts, nae fauts at all?" "Awell, Marzot,' the other old woman admitted, 'she has got one fault. She will lay on the Lord's day.'" A. Foine Bird. An Irishman who wasn't much of a hunter went out to hunt one day, and the first thing he saw to shoot at was a blue jay sitting saucily on the top of a fence. He blazed away at the bird and then walked over to pick it up. What he happened to find there was a dead frog, which he raised carefully at arm's length, looking at it with a puzzled air. Finally he remarked: "Well, begobs, but ye was a devil of a fone looking burd befur Oi bleer fithers off o'yers!"—Judge's Library. Had a Cheer Coming. Years ago, when the G. A. R. annual department encampment was held in Boston, as the veterans were marching along one of the avenues a lady, who had secured an elevated position on a wagon in a side street, became conspicuous by the enthusiasm she displayed, and was dissatisfied with the lack of it in the by-standers. "Cheer!" said she. "Why don't you cheer? I guess you'd cheer if you'd lost two husbands in the war as I did."—Life. FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No Cooking. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their family. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: "They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly. "My little 18 months old baby shortly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improvement set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts. "Sometimes ago several of the family were stricken with LaGripe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us. "We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellyville," in pkgs. IN THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE. Little Son's Explanation Seemed to Cover the Case. Little son, aged seven, whose training has been of the most painstaking and conscientious, rather took away his mother's breath in describing the dog's game of ball. He ended with: "And, mother, Topsy caught the ball in her mouth, and then just ran like h—!" "Like what?" cried the startled mother. "W'y, like h—, don't you know, mother?" innocently. "No, I don't believe I do. Just how is that, dear?" she asked faintly. "Well, I don't know jus' what it means, myself," he confessed, "but it's a whole lot faster than 'lickety-split!'" CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906." A Horse's Good Fortune. A spiritualist came to our house some time ago and claimed to be able to locate our lost friends if we desired. We had an old horse which we had sold years ago and my mother wanted to know where he was. Mother began: "We had a very good friend who always did all our work. He passed from us several years ago and the last we heard of him was that he was in Los Angeles. I would like to know if he is still living." The spiritualist made certain motions and knocked on the table and then said: "Your friend is in Los Angeles and is married to a rich young woman."—Judge. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Statue Finally Completed. When Alfred Stevens designed the noble monument to the duke of Wellington in St. Paul's cathedral, London, he intended that his work should be crowned by an equestrian statue. But Stevens died before his design was carried out. Now, 32 years after his death, the equestrian statue has been completed and before long will be placed in position. How's This?

You see, he is a big, muscular fellow, and he used to throw my collectors out." "Then why didn't you employ a woman collector?" inquired a writer in Spare Moments. "He couldn't do that to a woman." "That's what I thought, so I got one and sent her round, but she never came back." "Why not?" "He married her."
