VOL. XIV, Washing Only one Negro Entitle to Seat in The Popularity of Industrial Recognized in New York and Oklahoma Consti Bishop Woodo Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. Only ono Negro is entitled to sit as a member of the Episcopal General convention at its coming session in Richmond and this honor will be enjoyed by the Right Rev. S. D. Ferguson, D. D. D. C. L. who is the missionary Bishop of Cape Palmas with residence at Monrovia, Liberia. He was born in Charleston, S. C. in 1842 and was consecrated in 1885. It is probably the first occasion in the history of the country where a Negro has been seated on terms of honorable equality in one of the exclusive white churches of the South. The sessions of the convention were held in old St. Pauls, Richmond, Va. The cause of Industrial education seems just now to have reached the high water mark of popularity in many sections of the country. A few days ago at the opening of the public schools of the Districk, the faculty of the McKinley Manual Training school was confronted with a first year class of more than 500, while accommodations were available for not more than 150. New York is also feeling the impetus towards this class of instruction and the board of education has determined to open one more night industrial school besides the two now in operation, which latter have registered students to the number of 2400. A successful evening trade school is being conducted in West 46 street which is attended largely by Negroes and is crowded to the capacity at each session. This is encouraging news and shows that the Negro is not really asleep to his opportunities but is jogging along at a steady trot and is alive to the necessity of grasping and holding and utilizing all the forces and agencies of civilization which make for the true greatness and prosperity of a people. Negro laborers at the North have at last made substantial progress towards general recognition by the powerful labor unions of the country. Eighty-six Negro carpenters in New York City who formed a temporary organization and applied for admission as a local of the brotherhood of carpenters and joiners, were informed at their meeting on Sept. 26, that their request had been granted. This is the first instance in New York, of Negroes being affiliated with regular union organizations. President Roosevelt has announced that he will approve the Oklahoma constitution, which means that the new state will be soon a part of the sisterhood. Although the President has had some objection to the constitution, these have not been permitted to stand in the way of statehood, so that with the present allignment the Democratic majority in the Congress will receive a material increase through the elected representatives from the new state. The Hon. Bird S. McGuire will have the distinction of being the only Republican. It, is understood that a large delegation of citizens from the new state will shortly arrive in Washington to vigorously protest against approval of the constitution. Among the more prominent of these is the Hon. J. Coody Johnson, of Wewoka, a Negro of Creek blood, a lawyer of fine ability and one of the most substantial colored citizens of that section. Negroes generally have much cause to oppose the constitution in its present shape for it carries with it many of the Jim Crow features which work hardship for the race in southern states. Bishop Woodcock, Episcopal Bishop of Kentucky in a sermon to the St. Andrews Brotherhood, recently in session in this city, on the occasion of his sermon to the delegates said in closing "You haven't lived in vain if you have made one life hopeful and the safety of the United States does not lie in law, in statesmanship, nor in the jails, but in the American men who are loyal and faithful and who believe in doing to others as they would have others to do to them. The Bishop has spoken wisely and well yet it may easily be doubted whether the true force of these words—the real essence of the thought, in its application to the questions of serious importance constantly before the American people, will be taken by the average reader. It is rather a strange idea for we have been taught to have the very greatest respect for both law and statesmanship, as essentials to successful government. Yet it is not the law itself that must be responsible for the rise and progress, the wealth and happiness and the solid prosperity of the American people. It is the sentiment behind the law which is stronger than the law itself. For instance, the hatred and prejudice in southern states has borne a surprising crop of legislative measures and has written upon statute books, laws and amendments which by their very authors and promoters are acknowledged to be the merest makeshift and subterfuge. These laws have clearly accomplished the purpose of their enactment but it is the sentiment behind them which is responsible for such outrages against citizenship by means of which the safety and security of that section has been gained. A narrow and perverted sentiment has urged and insisted upon these laws in order that an iniquity, hitherto accomplished without law might carry with it a semblance of respectability. The Christian church with all its powers and large influence is frequently made to assume an attitude widely at variance with the life and teachings of the great Preceptor. No holy day is too sacred for the exhibition of an inborn prejudice and the vicinity of the blessed alter cannot be so near but what there may be seen some Pharasee in prominent place who passes one with averted head and lifted nose, as who should say 'I am better than thou." Here also it is the sentiment that condemns as well as save according as it is sensible and just, for sentiment, feeling and opinion are but the law in uncompended form. The conclusion of the Bishop that the safety of the country "lies in the American men who are faithful and loyal and who believe in doing to others as they would have others to do to them" is both true and timely but we are afraid he will experience much difficulty in finding a sufficient number of men who are ready and willing to practice that belief in their daily lives. Actions are the things which count, not precepts. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 30. Gov. B. B. Comer has sold his plantations in Barbour and Bullock counties, consisting of 18,000 acres, for $162,000 to Internal Revenue Collector O. F. Thompson of the Alabama district, who it is understood is acting for Booker T. Washington. It is said to be Washington's intention to establish colonies of Negroes on the land, nearly all of which is under a high state of cultivation. Jack Johnson, the colored heavy weight pugilist, received more money for boxing Sailor Burke the six rounds at Bridgeport, Conn., on Thursday night than he has for any contest that he has fought in this country. He received $1,982.50, which is a sweet piece of money for the bout. Burke got the same amount. The gross receipts of the show were $6,100, the fighters dividing $3,965 between them. Senator Tillman, forced by an audience's disapproval to leave the hall, was obliged to go into the street to finish a lecture on the race question, in Sacramento, Cal. The lecture was under the Y. M. C. A. auspices, and he had been asked to leave out mention of the race affairs. Mr. Tillman retorted that he would not be gagged by a parsel of mules and offered to return the check given him for the lecture. This was refused, and the difference was patched up until the Senator suddenly interjected the race problem in his address. Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 2.—With the idea that they might unearth a hidden treasure, said to lie concealed along the South wall of the McCarthy block, nearly 100 Negroes dug all day. About $26 was secured. According to the story told about the neighborhood, an old Negro woman who formerly opereted a lunch stand next to the building, some years ago buried a box containing hundreds of dollars in gold. This morning the house was removed and all who knew of the tale immediately began the search. The money which was found was in the form of quarters, dimes and $5 gold pieces. It is expected that the search will be continued. Baltimore, Sept. 24.—Joshua Gwyn, a respectable colored resident of the country, died Saturday at his home, Hartley, eleventh district, of old age and was a slave before the war in the family of John W. Burton of Greenwood. After his freedom he worked in a quarry and saved enough to buy a farm. He found time to till the soil after work and gradually put the farm in good shape. His fortune increased until he owned three of four farms and several mortgages, making his estate at the time of his death worth about $50,000. Gwyn was the father of twelve children. One was a preacher, another a lawyer, and a third is employed at the John Hopkins Hospital. His wife is the author of several hymnals. The Leland Giants Baseball and Amusement Association, with a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars, is now organizing for the purpose of buying twenty acres of ground at 79th and Wentworth avenue for a permanent home for the club and an up-to-date amusement park and summer hotel, an enterprise sadly needed by our people. This will be a "money getter." The association will open with a first class roller skating rink dancing pavillion, refreshment parlors and Chinese restaurant at 5324 State street about the middle of October, thus meeting the wants of the people who are sorely in need of these enterprises. Stock is now quoted at ten dollars per share, and if you are not in on this deal get some of the stock at once, as it is bound to be worth double the money before spring, when the greater enterprises are opened at the park.—The Idea. Thomas Bass, of Mexico Mo., a colored man, had six horses on exhibition at the Iowa State Fair. His specialty is saddle horses. Mr. Bass has achieved notable distinction in his line. The superiority of his horses was a reflection of the intelligence of their owner. So it is, here and there the race has members that are measuring up to their opportunities, doing the best possible things in their line. These are the bright spots which are too often overlooked when taking race inventory. There is a lesson to be gained, owing to the successes of Mr. Bass. It is this: That the race will reach proficiency in those matters with which they are best acquainted. In this respect they are not different from others. Colored men have a fine knowledge of horses. Many have profited by it, as they have in other fields. In time they will graduate in the larger spheres of usefulness, in the commercial world with its many branches, when and where the race will be at its very best. New Orleans, La., A remarkable sensation was caused here recently when Charles E. Letten, the defaulting tax collector's clerk, whose shortage will certainly exceed $100, 000, and may run to $200,000 was captured and confessed to the crime. Ever since his disappear- NO. 2. ance Tuesday morning he has hidden in the weeds on the river front of Carrollton, trying to make up his mind to end his troubles by plunging into the river but somehow whenever he approached the edge of the water his nerve failed him and he sat down to gather more courage. Letten's conduct has always been of the best. In his story he implicated a colored woman, despite the fact that he has been a leading church member. He says he met the woman, whose name is Virginia Reed, about four years ago, quite by accident, but immediately became possessed with a strange infatuation. Letten says he has been giving her $500 a week for four years. He declares that every cent he stole went to her that his salary sufficed for his wants and the comforts of his family, and he never appropriated a cent of the stolen money to his own use. The woman owns about $50,000 worth of real estate in the city which she has bought in the last four years, and has quite a large bank account. Ex-Mayor Fitzpatrick, the tax collector, who has promised to make good every bit of the shortage, has taken steps to recover the property. MISS JEANES DEAD. Philadelphia, Sept. 30.—By the will of Miss Anna T. Jeanes, well known for her philanthropic work among the society of Friends and the Negro race, which was admitted to probate today, she left almost her entire estate, valued at about $5,000,000, to charity. By the will, $1,000,000 is bequeathed for the benefit of the Negro race. Sometimes ago the bequest was paid over to Booker T. Washington and Hollis Burke Frissell as trustee and a codicil dated Feb. 27 1907, revokes that particular provision of the will. Among the institutions benefited are Swarthmore college and a score of hospitals in this city and elsewhere. The will bequeaths to Swarthmore college all the testator's coal and mineral lands and five-eighths owenship in the Rebecca Steadman tract in the Haselbrook collieries, on condition that the management abandons all participation in intercollegiate sports and games. By the terms of the will $250,000 is bequeathed to the trustees of the Philadelphia yearly meeting as an additional donation to the Joseph Jeanes fund for quarterly meeting houses, the income to be used in the establishment and assistance of hospitals connected with such meeting houses. Miss Jeanes also bequeaths a farm of 47 acres at Oxford Pike and Old Township line to the Phil- Continued to fourth page. ```markdown ``` The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

OPEN FOR SUGGESTION WANTS TO PROTECT MEN WHO "PLOW AND PITCH HAY THEMSELVES." Keokuk, Iowa.—In a notable speech delivered by President Roosevelt just before embarking on his voyage down the Mississippi, the chief executive again announced his intention of enforcing the laws, criminal and otherwise, against all, high and low, who broke or evaded them. Passing from this, he paid a tribute to the sturdy yeomanry of Iowa and then advanced to the main topic of his address, which had to do with the land laws of the nation. These, he said, needed amendment in the interest of those who had gone into the semi-arid regions of the West and were struggling against adverse circumstances. He believed that in these regions the limitations of homesteads to 160 acres was an absurdity. He also declared that in the enforcement of the statute against the fencing of public lands much injustice had been done, and he urged that the law in this respect should be changed, but just how he was not prepared to say. In part he said: "At present the ordinary farmer holds his own in the land as against any possible representative of the landlord class of farmer—that is, of the men who would own vast estates—because the ordinary farmer unites his capital, his labor and his brains with the making of a permanent family home, and thus can afford to hold his land at a value at which it can not be held by the capitalist, who would have to run it by leasing it or by cultivating it at arm's length with hired labor. In other words, the typical American farmer of today, gets his remuneration in part in the shape of an independent home for his family, and thus gives him an advantage over an absentee landlord. Now, from the standpoint of the nation as a whole it is preeminently desirable to keep as one of our chief American types the farmer, the farm home maker, of the medium-sized farm. This type of farm home is one of our strongest political and social bulwarks. Such a farm worked by the owner has proved by experience the best place in which to breed vigorous leaders alike for country and city. It is a matter of prime economic and civic importance to encourage this type of home owning farmer. "Therefore we should strive in every way to aid in the education of the farm, or for the farm and should shape our school system with this end in view; and so vitally important is this that, in my opinion, the federal government should co-operate with the state governments to secure the needed change and improvement in our schools. It is significant that both from Minnesota and Georgia there have come proposals in this direction and in the appearance of bills introduced into the national Congress. The congressional land grant act of 1852 accomplished much in establishing the agricultural colleges in the several states, and therefore in preparing in turn the system of educational training for the young into channels at once broader and more practicable—and what I am saying about agricultural training really applies to all industrial training. But the colleges can not reach the masses, and it is essential that the masses should be reached. Such agricultural high schools as those in Minnesota and Nebraska for farm boys and girls, such technical high schools as are to be found, for instance, in both St. Louis and Washington, have by their success shown that it is entirely feasible to carry in practical fashion the fundamentals of industrial training into the realms of our secondary schools. At present there is a gap between our primary schools in the country and city and the industrial collegiate courses, which must be closed, and if necessary the nation must help the state to close it. Too often our present schools tend to put altogether too great a premium upon mere literary education, and therefore to train away from the farm and the shop. "We should reverse this process. Specific training of a practical kind should be given to the boys and girls who when men and women are to make up the backbone of this nation by working in agriculture, in the mechanical industries, in arts and trades; in short, who are to do the duty that should always come first with all of us, the duty of home-making and home-keeping. Too narrow a literary education is, for most men and women, not a real education at all; for a real education should fit people primarily for the industrial and home-making employments in which they must employ the bulk of their activities. Our country offers unparalleled opportunities for domestic and social advancement for social and economic leadership in the world. Our greatest national asset is to be found in the children. They need to be trained to high ideals of everyday living, and to high efficiency, in their respective vocations; we can not afford to have them trainel other wise, and the nation should help the states to achieve this end. "Now, men of Iowa, I want to say just a word on a matter that concerns not the states of the Mississippi valley itself, but the states west of them, the state of the great plain and the Rocky mountains. Unfortunately, I am not able on this present trip to visit those states, or I should speak to their own people on the point to which I now in- tend to allude; but after all anything that affects a considerable number of Americans who live under one set of conditions, must be of moment to all other Americans, for never forget, friends, that in the long run we shall all go up or go down together. "The states of the high plains and of the mountains have a peculiar claim upon me, because for a number of years I lived and worked in them, and I have that intimate knowledge of their people that comes under such conditions. In those states there is need of a modification of the land laws that have worked so well in the well-watered fertile regions to the eastward, such as those in which you here dwell. The one object in all our land laws should always be to favor the actual settler, the actual homemaker, who comes to dwell on the land and there to bring up his children to inherit it after him. The government should part with its title to the land only to the actual home-maker—not to the profit-maker, who does not care to make a home. The land should be sold outright only in quantities sufficient for decent homes—not in huge areas' to be held for speculative purposes or used as ranches, where those who do the actual work are merely tenants or hired hands. "But where irrigation is not applicable and the land can only be used for grazing, it may be that you cannot run more than one steer to ten acres, and it is not necessary to be much of a mathematician in order to see that where such is the case a homestead of 160 acres will not go far toward the support of a family. In consequence of this fact, homesteaders do not take up the lands in the tracts in question. They are left open for anybody to graze upon that wishes to. The result is that the men who use them moderately and not with a view to exhausting their resources are at the mercy of those who care nothing for the future and simply intend to skin the land in the present. For instance, the small sheep farmer who has a home and who wishes that home to pass on to his children improved in value will naturally run his flock so that the land will support it, not only today, but ten years hence; but a big absentee sheep owner, who has no home on the land at all, but simply owns huge migratory flocks of sheep, may well find it to his profit to drive them over the small sheep farmer's range and eat it all out. He can then drive his flocks on, whereas the small man cannot. Of course, to permit such a state of things is not only evil for the small man, but is destructive of the best interests of the country. Substantially the same conditions obtain as regards cattle. The custom has therefore grown up of fencing great tracts of government land without warrant of law. The men who fenced this land were sometimes rich men, who, by fencing it, kept out actual settlers and thereby worked evil to the country. But in many cases, whether they were large men or small men, their object was not to keep out actual settlers, but to protect themselves and their own industry by preventing overgrassing of the range on the part of reckless stock owners who had no place in the permanent development of the country and who indifferent to everything except the profits of the moment. To permit the continuance of this illegal fencing inevitably tended to very grave abuses, and the government has therefore forced the fencers to take down their fences. In doing this we have not only obeyed and enforced the law, but we have corrected many flagrant abuses. Nevertheless, we have also caused hardship, which, though unavoidable, I was exceedingly unwilling to cause. In some way or other we must provide for the use of the public range under conditions which shall inure primarily to the benefit of the actual settlers on or near it, and which shall prevent its being wasted. This means that in some shape or way the fencing of pasture land must be permitted under restrictions which will safeguard the rights of the actual settlers. I desire to act as these actual settlers wish to have me in this matter. I wish to find out their needs and desires and then to try to put them into effect. But they must take trouble, must look ahead to their own ultimate and real good, must insist upon being really represented by their public men, if we are to have a good result. The thing I have most at heart as regards this subject is to do whatever will be of permanent benefit to just exactly the people for whom this correspondent of mine spoke—the small ranchmen who have to plow and pitch hay themselves. All I want to do is to find out what will be to their real benefit, for that is certain to be to the benefit of the country as a whole. It may be that we can secure their interests by permitting all homesteaders in the dry country to inclose, individually or a certain number of them together, big tracts of range for summer use, the tracts being proportioned to the number of neighboring homesteaders who wish to run their cattle upon it. It may be that parts of the range will only be valuable for companies that can lease it and put large herds on it, for the way properly to develop a region is to put it to those uses to which it is best adapted. The amount to be paid for the leasing privilege is to me a matter of comparative indifference. The government does not wish to make money out of the necessary supervision that will prevent its being eaten out or exhausted; that is, that will secure it undamaged as an asset for the next generation, for the children of the present home-makers. Of course we must also provide enough to pay the proper share of the county taxes. I am not wedded to any one plan, and I am willing to combine several plans it necessary. But the present system is wrong; and I hope to see in all the states of the Great Plains and the Rockies, the men like my correspondent of the Laramie County Cattle and Horse Growers' Association, the small ranchmen "who plow and pitch hay" themselves, seriously take up this matter and make their representatives in Congress understand that there must be some solution, and that this solution shall be one which will secure the greatest permanent well being to the actual settlers, the actual home-makers. I promise with all the strength I have to co-operate toward this end. --- MILLIONS MORE FOR COLORADO GIGANTIC WATER POWER PRO- JECT DOES NOT LACK FUNDS ELECTRIC POWER WILL BE GEN ERATED BY GREAT WATER FALLS IN MOUNTAINS. Denver, Colo.—Fifty million dollars in ready cash has been placed at the disposal of the Central and Eastern Colorado Power Companies to develop power in this state, and the question of finances will not enter into the tremendous undertakings now in course of consummation. The final surveys have been completed for a big dam and three power plants in Estes park which will cost $10,000,000, and which will generate 30,000-horse power. It is expected that work on them will begin soon after the first of the year. Options are said to have been secured on a big power site within a short distance of Denver, which, in addition to the plants now under way, will give the company sufficient power to operate almost every machine in the state that requires power of any kind. The plans of the Central and Eastern Colorado Power Companies, as they are gradually being unfolded, are assuming proportions which are almost bewildering. A statement was made by a man in close touch with the affairs of the company which clears away any doubts as to the promoters of these enterprises having sufficient money to carry the plans through as outlined. He stated that he knew positively beyond any shadow of doubt that the company had at its disposal $50,000,000 in ready cash and that practically all this money would be used in the generating of electrical power in Colorado. This amount is almost double the total capitalization of the Central Colorado Power Company, the parent organization, and its auxiliary companies. Has New Sites. The company has secured control of additional power sites in the northern part of the state which will enable it to generate almost double the power previously announced as being contemplated. The site for this big dam is in Thompson canon, near Longmont, and close to the border of Estes park. The final surveys have just been completed by the engineering department and the plans submitted to the board of directors. The plans involve the expenditure of $10,000,000 on this one project alone and will generate 30,000 horse power. A storage reservoir with a capacity of 4,000,000,000 cubic feet of water is to be built at the head of the South fork of the Thompson river. The dam to hold this water will be 165 feet high and will back the water up for one mile into Estes park. The first power plant is to be located at the foot of the dam, where an incline drop of 200 feet will be secured before the water enters the turbins. This plant will generate 10,000 horse power. The water will be carried from this plant down the canon in big tubes to the forks, where a similar plant with an equil capacity will be constructed. This plan will be followed to where the Handy dam is now located, where the third plant with 10,000 horse power will be located. After the water is used for generating this power it will be carried out to the agricultural country beyond and be used for irrigation purposes. Plant Near Denver. It is understood that in addition to the big site in Estes park that the company is negotiating for a big site in close proximity to Denver, which will equal in size and importance any of the plants now contemplated in its plans. It is said that options are held on this property and that the deal may be closed at an early date. The new scheme for Estes park makes the fourth now under way by the company in addition to the smaller companies which are controlled by the main organization. These are the Estes park proposition, the big plant now being constructed at Nederland, in Boulder canon, twenty miles from Denver, the Shoshone plant near Glenwood Springs, and the Gore canon plant on the Moffat road. The company is the one incorporated with Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, as the head. It is said to be backed by the General Electric Company, and it is thought that some other big interests are associated with these people in the deals. Much speculation has been indulged in as to what use all of this power is to be put. The plants will be capable of developing sufficient power to run almost all of the machines in the state without taking into consideration the big power plants of the Northern Power Company and its allied companies, the Summit Power Company and the Denver Gas and Electric Company. Has Folks Guessing. It has become generally known that the Union Pacific is figuring on electrifying its entire system through the Rocky mountain region, and it has been supposed that it may purchase its power from the Central company. The trouble with that theory is the presence of David Moffat and Thomas Walsh on the board of directors of the company, and it is not thought that Mr. Moffat or Mr. Walsh would be interested in plans to supply the Harriman roads with power. Mr Moffat recently stated that he had not attended any of the meetings of the board and that he had nothing to do with the management of its affairs. The first company planned and the foundation out of which the big organizations sprang was the New Century Light and Power Company which tried to secure the Gore canon site and which had a big fight with Moffat. The company was finally forced to make terms with Moffat and his interests secured control of it. Fanciful Finance. "Haven't you loaned that De Broke good deal of money?" "No. I've let him have a number of small sums." "Knowing his reputation, why did you give him that last five?" "It was this way. He said if I'd let him have it he'd pay me something on what he already owed me." "Well?" "So I let him have the five and he paid me one dollar on account." Tripped. Gunner—So you think the DeBlowers are faking about their extended European tour? Guyer—I should say so. They said there were so many Americans in Venice that many had to walk in the middle of the street. Gunner—Well? Guyer—Why the streets of Venice are canals.—Chicago Daily News.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASES DIABETES, BACKAIDS 1875 "Guarantees" Heiskell's Ointment Cures Skin Diseases For half a century Heiskell's Ointment has been used in all cases of skin disease with most gratifying results. Many have become entirely cured who had suffered untold pain and annoyance for years. One man in New Baltimore, Pa., writes that it cured him when he was raw all over. A lady in Philadelphia cured a case of tetter of six years' standing in fourteen days, while a man in Allentown, Pa., cured his case of eczema that had troubled him for eleven years with less than two boxes of the ointment. These and hundreds of others have found that Heiskell's Ointment is worth more than its weight gold. Being a purely vegetable preparation, Heiskell's Ointment soothes and heals where others fail. It allays the itching and burning common to all skin disease, and all yield quickly to its magic influence. There are many varieties of skin diseases with confusing titles, but they are all susceptible to one and the same cure—Heiskell's Ointment. No one need suffer long if afflicted with any skin disease not of a constitutional character if they will apply this remedy. This includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, prurigo, eczema, milk crust, itching scales, scalded head, tettler, ringworm, blackheads, psoriasis, pimples, freckles. In some cases it is necessary as in erysipelas, eczema, etc.; the liver should be toned to healthy action and the blood and all the secretions purified. In all cases of skin disease cures are hastened by the use of Heiskell's Ointment, and in cleaning up the blood and liver with Heiskell's Blood and Liver Pills. Heiskell's Medicinal and Toilet Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Heiskell's Ointment, and is particularly effective in slight disorders of the skin, as rash, eruptions and abrasions.

John Brink prided himself on having the largest general store in the county. "If man wishes it, and it is made, I have it," was the sign over his store and the motto which capped all his advertisements in the newspapers. "William," said Mr. Brink one morning, as he was giving instructions to a green clerk, "no one must ever leave this store without making a purchase. If a person doesn't know what he wants, suggest something. And, remember, we have everything from carpet tacks to mausoleums." William's first customer was a leisurely-appearing chap, who gazed about curiously, but had no definite object in view. "Just looking around," he explained. "Wouldn't you like to take a look at our new line of postal cards?" suggested the eager clerk. "No, not this time," answered the stranger; "I'm just a little short this morning."

Familiarity breeds contempt, and enforced familiarity is apt to induce repugnance. But few are aware how intense such repugnance may become in the case of people condemned to spend the greater portion of their lives in the manufacture or preparation of some one particular article. It is assented, for instance, that the salmon curers of Alaska, after several months' steady diet of freshly-caught fish grow to so loathe the succulent meat that they will devour almost any substance that will sustain life in preference to it. The oyster women of Arcachon, in France, again, never by any chance eat oysters, regarding them as food fit only for pigs; while it is a fact well known to every deep-sea sailor that the cod-fishers of the Newfoundland banks will suffer the extremest pangs of hunger rather than touch cod, and are invariably willing to exchange the finest of their fish for a modicum of flesh, no matter how rancid and unappetizing the latter may be. Similarly, the girls employed in cocoa factories quickly grow to loathe cocoa in any shape or form. Even the cholest of chocolate confections, such as would cause to water the mouths of the daintiest society dames, have no attractions, but quite the reverse, for these otherwise well-nigh omniverous young women.—T.

RULING OF THE BOARD SHEEP ARE ALSO TO BE PRO TECTED IN HOPES OF CLEAR- ING DISEASES. Denver.—At the meeting of the State Board of Cattle Inspectors held on September 27th, it was decided to make the interstate inspection law applicable to state traffic. The following orders were given out: "Cattle shippers in eastern Colorado in the area under quarantine for cattle scables, on account of the co-operation of the State Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners with the government inspectors, should, within ten days of the date of their shipment, apply to Dr. Lowell Clarke, 320 Quincy building, Denver, Colorado, or to one of the local bureau inspectors, for a permit allowing the cattle to be shipped as 'Uninspected Clean Cattle,' in which case they would be handled without restriction at the market centers. "However, should the B. A. I. inspector be convinced that the cattle are part of a diseased herd, such a permit would be refused and the cattle could only be shipped as 'Uninspected Exposed Cattle,' and submitted to inspection at their destination where federal inspection is maintained. "This, however, has nothing whatever to do with the brand inspection of cattle which is maintained by the State Board of Stock Inspection commissioners. "Whereas, Upon the request of the state veterinary surgeon of Colorado, the secretary of agriculture has consented to co-operate with the Colorado State Board of Stock Inspection commissioners, in the control of scabies of cattle and sheep within the state of Colorado. Prominent Clubman Takes Life Colorado Springs.—Crazed by drink and suffering from the hallucination that enemies were in pursuit of him, Samuel P. McDaniel, a wealthy clubman of Colorado Springs, ended a debauch begun in Denver by blowing out his brains. Before killing himself he attempted to shoot his intimate friends Dr. Charles Adams Holder and Albert E. Gardner, who had been summoned by neighbors to subdue the frenzied man. McDaniel shot three times at his companions, and when three deputies from the sheriff's office arrived he barricaded his house, and, going to a hallway in the upper story, shot himself. His body was found by the deputies at daylight this morning. They had remained on guard outside all night, not daring to force an entrance for fear that McDaniel would carry out his threats to kill them. There is an element of mystery about the affair that friends of the suicide are trying to unravel. Possessed of wealth in abundance, happy in his domestic relations, it is said, in good health, McDaniel apparently had everything to live for. No reason is given for his act except that he was beside himself as the result of a ten days' debauch, entered upon after the departure of his wife and two young sons, who went to Ocean Grove, Pennsylvania, two weeks ago. The household goods had been packed preparatory to storing, and McDaniel was planning to go into the Nevada gold fields. Mysterious Shooting Leaks Out. Sheridan, Wyo.—Despite efforts of the military authorities to keep the affair secret, the news has leaked out of a mysterious shooting at Fort Mackenzie several nights ago. One of the sentries at the post was walking his beat about midnight when some person approached until he could be dimly seen by the sentry. The latter commanded the intruder to halt, but the man did the reverse, running away. The sentry fired several shots at the fugitive, but without effect. Half an hour later, as the sentry stood at one end of his beat, a shot was fired behind him and he dropped with a bullet through one of his legs. When help, attracted by the shot, arrived, the person who had fired the shot had disappeared. Wyoming Power Concern Organized. Lander, Wyo.—The Wyoming Power & Light Company, capital $1,000,000, has been organized for the purpose of utilizing the vast water power to be derived from streams in this vicinity. The company expects to supply electricity for light and power to Lander, Lewiston, South Pass, Atlantic City, Miners' Delight, Hudson and Riverton. THE McKINLEY MAUSOLEUM. Imposing Ceremony and Loving Tributes to Martyred President. Canton, Ohio.—The nation paid homage, September 30th, to the memory of William McKinley, when the splendid monument which marks his last resting place was unveiled in the presence of an assembled throng such as Canton never saw before and with the President of the United States as the principal speaker. It was the tribute of a grateful nation both in word and in deed to "a good citizen, a brave soldier, a wise executive," and more than 50,000 people, representing all walks of life and every part of the country, participated in the ceremonies dedicating the monument, the loving gift of a million Americans whose contributions, aggregating $600,000, provided the splendid tomb in which rest the bodies of the third of the martyred presidents, his wife and their two children. Distinguished men from all parts of the country and many representatives of foreign countries made the pilgrimage here to participate in the dedication of the mausoleum and made the event a notable one. The monument is a magnificent structure, simple but imposing. In the sarcophagus are the bronze caskets containing the bodies of both President McKinley and his wife. In niches in the walls of the tomb are two little caskets containing the ashes of their only children, Ida and Mary, both of whom died in infancy. A feature of the dedication was the presence of the President of the United States, Vice President Fairbanks, members of the President's Cabinet, United States senators and governors of several states. Addresses were delivered by President Roosevelt, Justice William R. Day, McKinley's secretary of state, and Governor Harris of Ohio, who acted as president of the day. The program ended by the singing of "America" and benediction by Bishop Horstmann of Cleveland. THROAT OF KANSAS GIRL CUT. Mystery Surrounds the Affair and Opinion Is Divided. Iola, Kans.—Miss May Sipp, the daughter of John N. Sipp, a wealthy man who lives with his family in the little town of Moran, ten miles east of here, in this county, was found dead with her throat cut in the back yard of the family home last night. The townspeople are divided in their theories regarding the case. Some assert that it is a case of murder, while others say it might be suicide. Miss Sipp was an unusually pretty young woman. She had admirers, but none who called upon her so constantly that it could be termed a love affair. She was twenty-five years old and in excellent health. Because she had not, so far as anyone knew, ever been engaged, she was regarded as rather a peculiar girl, when her wealth and beauty were taken into consideration. At dinner last night the young woman chatted with her father and mother and appeared to be in the best of spirits. Later the father went down to the postoffice for the mail and the mother busied herself about the house. The daughter stepped out in the back yard. It was about 7:15 o'clock. She had not, according to her mother, been gone from her side two minutes, when she heard a scream of "Mother! Mother!" The mother rushed into the yard and found her daughter lying in a pool of blood. She apparently was dead when the mother reached her side. At first nothing was found, but later in the night, about ten feet from where the body lay, was found a razor which bore the name of Montgomery Ward & Co. The razor was closely examined and here the mystery deepens. There was not a trace of blood upon the handle or blade. This was a great surprise to the coroner, who had arrived a short time before, and the theorists began to speculate upon the possibility of the murderer, if it were a case of murder, having had two razors. The coroner says if the cuts were small ones they would not necessarily leave traces of blood upon the blade, but where the entire throat was cut, severing all the veins, it would be probable that stains would remain upon the blade or handle. The murder theory is given its greatest weight, however, from the fact that the clothes of the young woman were torn and she had been cut upon the hands as if a struggle had ensued. How Denver Grows. Denver.—The September report of Building Inspector Robert Willison shows an increase in the value of buildings, over those for which permits were issued in September of last year, of $86,220. Classification of permits for the month ended Septemberth follows: Cody, Wyo.—Despite the fact that a tamping rod was blown completely through his neck, after which he fell forty feet, Ferko Marko, an Austrian, who was brought to the hospital here from the government dam site in the canon of the Shoshone, is expected to recover. Marko was tamping half a stick of giant powder in a hole when the stuff exploded, driving the tamping rod through his right hand and through his neck and hurling him forty feet down a cliff and into the river. His was severely burned, his flesh was filled filled with fragments of rock and cloth and he sustained a double fracture of the left leg. BROADWAY Phone Main 3725. Q. J.

JEANES, the Quaker philanthropist, who gave one million dollars last spring to Booker T. Washington for the cause of rudimentary education among Negroes in the rural districts of the South, died at Philadelphia on September 24th. She left a fortune estimated at $5,000,000, a large portion of which, it is supposed, will go to charities. Her gift last spring was probably the largest single gift ever made for such a purpose, and the memory of it should stand as a monument to the liberality and kind-heartedness of this noble woman. Probably in no other way could such an amount of money have been expended to accomplish greater good. It is to be hoped and believed that every school established or benefited by her gift will strive to perpetuate the memory of the donor, who in her last days, was an invalid and a great sufferer.

The condition of the Negro is such as to require a great amount of practical instruction in the school of experience, for it must be admitted that he is possessed of many natural proclivities whose encouragement by silent toleration or moral indifference would keep him forever in the rear of the forces of civilization and insure his destiny as a "hewer of wood," as well as make him a dangerous and unfit element in the social order. Opposition to him of that violent character which marks the "cracker" has not only spurred him along the road of intelligent activity, but it has brought into play in the minds of white people of the better classes that higher and finer logic which sees danger for themselves in the prolongation of dishonest and brutal methods in dealing with a weak and partially dependent class, whose presence nevertheless, as a labor factor, is the means by which the whites have thrived. The harpings and loud denunciations of southern politicians and social agitators seem to be heavy blows upon the head of the fleeing Negro, and the advantage taken by white men of his weakness and ignorance seem full of discouragement, but these very things, because of their grave injustice and their dangerous tendencies against the better interests of all social order, are bringing to the Negro's aid the intellectual and moral forces of the South, whose aid means the final adjustment of the Negro's equitable lines. One of these champions, Mr. Leroy Percy, of Mississippi, in a recent speech before the Mississippi State Bar Association, said: "It is idle to talk about stopping the education of the Negro; there is no voluntary retrogression in civilization. If we could stop his education we should not do so. I deny as an academic question that the Negro's usefulness is impaired by education. I deny that any man is rendered worse by having his intelligence quickened, his mental horizon widened. The Negro must be educated to the extent necessary to enable him to know whether he is being rightly or wrongly treated. Any other idea is monstrous and intolerable because of its harshness and cruelty. But not as a matter of justice to him alone is his education necessary, but because the industrial development of the South demands it." Sentiment of this character is growing in the South, and while the process of overcoming prevalent conditions must be slow, the fact that the best and broadest minds are enlisted on the side of readjustment, gives absolute assurance to the belief that the final result will be sure. Thus hardships and wrongs point the way to justice and right. ECONOMICS AND THE NEGRO. GH there are many things mixed in with various economic reform propositions, lies and sects identified with and largely general citizenship of the United States, seem to appeal directly to the interest seen known to exhibit any considerable and any effort that has ever been made in a political way has, in the end, Socialism, labor unionism, the sine ALTHOUGH there are many things mixed in with the principles underlying the various economic reform propositions preached to the numerous classes and sects identified with and largely composing the masses of the general citizenship of the United States, which in their abstract nature seem to appeal directly to the interests of the Negro, he has never been known to exhibit any considerable amount of interest in them, and any effort that has ever been made to gain his support for them in a political way has, in the end, proven a very dismal failure. Socialism, labor unionism, the single tax and all other economic movements which have tended to array the poorer classes or the laboring masses in a political struggle against what is called the capitalistic class, have passed entirely over the heads of the Negroes of the United States and left them in nearly the same political position which they have occupied since the franchise was placed in their hands. It is a common thing to find distinct efforts being made to convert other racial elements and to draw them to the standard of these struggling reforms, but similar work among colored people, if attempted at all, has not proved fruitful. It may be generally supposed that the colored man's intellectual capacity is not sufficient to appreciate the force of the arguments favoring the overthrow of long-settled social, political and economic conditions, but, in fact, there is hardly any industrial or political argument of prominence which has been brought before the people which has not been quite thoroughly studied and digested by the intellectual leaders of the Negro race. Indeed, there are individual Negroes of undoubted intellectual ability who strenuously champion some of these reform causes, but they are given scant and impatient hearing among their fellows. Instead of mental inactivity it is sober judgment or strong intuition which keeps the Negro anchored in one political harbor. The promoters of economic reforms, as a rule, dream of conditions which they do not really want to see realized in their entirety. The social strata from which these reformers generally rise is one which accords no equitable ground upon which the Negro can stand, and the social and industrial prejudices of labor unions and Socialistic centers are ever-present contradictions of the virtue of their principles. Strange as it may seem, social reforms founded upon justice, such as do all humanity the most good, are generally initiated by those whose finer intellects and feelings arouse a sympathy stronger than the logic of the class reformer. The Negro's greatest champions have been men of culture and intellect, and the higher social classes, south as well as north, furnish him his greatest protection and help. Thus it comes about that in all efforts to array class against class in a political or industrial way, the Negro sees his interests plainly allied with those who are responsible for conditions as they exist today.

The abolition of chattel slavery paved the way for larger industrial development and cojointly with it the growth of trade unionism upon a national basis. Momentous results have followed and are following. Trade unions have striven, successfully here and there, to make the labor of man so remunerative as to enable the breadwinner to maintain his loved ones as becomes a man and citizen. They have striven to wrest from the profit-mongers of all kinds the greatest monopoly on earth, the monopoly of the worker's time; to secure for the toilers relief from the long hours and burdensome toil and find work for those who cannot find work at all; to obtain the full enfranchisement of labor, not only at the polls and in the halls of legislation, but, far more important than all these, in the factory, workshop, mill, mine and field.

The great scandals of recent years have been in the business world and have concerned business men who brought their peculiar views to bear upon politics. Look over the list of men who have governed nations with singular success and you will find it remarkably lacking in "business men." Lincoln was not a business man, and he probably had that fact, along with a good many others, flung into his face between the morning of his first inauguration and the day of his death. Grant had a sort of "business training" in a humble way, but it did not make him the man he was. You would have to stretch the imagination a long way to consider Washington as a business man, in spite of the fact that he was a very good man of business. Our presidents have been lawyers when they have not been soldiers, and sometimes they have been both. Bismarck "had no business training," and Disraeli could hardly be regarded as a man who had learned in counting houses and workshops how to guide the destinies of an empire. Napoleon had no "business training" whatever, but he is likely to be remembered as an administrator quite as long as the "greatest business man" who ever lived, whoever he may be. It has long been the proud boast of the American business man that he has nothing to do with politics, that he will not stain his hands nor his name by plunging into the soiled pool of politics. At the same time he has bought franchises and owned legislatures. Where he has not trafficked thus he has thanked God that he is not as the politicians are. In short, he has left politics to politicians who could be bought because he wished to buy them, or because he would not suffer his own majesty to be contaminated by striving against them in the political field. And when a man without "business training" wins distinction in politics the business man affects to regard him with suspicion, and cannot, for the life of him, see that this rude, untutored being has a wider outlook upon life than any that is gained by even an exceptional training in the commercial world.

There will come a day when every city will be a New Jerusalem; when every man will be consciously a son of God and actually a brother of every other man. Paradise is to be restored on earth. We are not to pray in vain, but his name is to be hallowed, his kingdom come, his will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. The kingdom of heaven with a great many men is limited by the Christian denomination to which they belong, and they find it very hard to rejoice in the spread of that kingdom except as their communion prospers, but the kingdom of heaven is no particular church. It is deeper and wider and higher than any or all churches. By SAMUEL GOMPERS, President American Federation of Labor.

Once Beautiful Woman, with Her Son, at the Tomb of the Emperor—Now Alone in the World with Her Sad Memories. The most pathetic mental picture that has been developed in my mind for many a day is revived by a brief cablegram which described poor forgotten Eugenie, once Empress of the French, driving about Paris, unnoticed. She visited the Tullerles gardens, in which she and the then boy prince often took the air. No doubt she glanced at the side door of the Louvre, facing the Rue de Rivoll, through which she escaped—disgusted as a servant and with the aid of Dentist Evans, an American. Poor old woman! She understands that the people, not the "royal" born, own France. It was a hard lesson, but members of other dynasties besides Napoleonic will learn it before long. Never shall I forget the only time I saw the dethroned Empress. It was in the fall of 1875, when taking a day's run down the London, Chatham & Dover railway to Rochester, whence I intended to drive to Gad's Hill House, the home of the late Charles Dickens. When the station "Chiselhurst" was called by the guard I remembered that the home of the widowed Empress and her son was near that place, and immediately left the train. Not a cab was to be had; and, obtaining directions from the station master, I started to walk. The way was about a mile, as I recall it, and the keeper of the lodge peremptorily refused to admit me to the park. I had to content myself with a view of the red brick villa far among the trees. It comes back to my mind as a stack of chimneys and dormer windows—a beautiful place, no doubt. Remembering that the deceased emperor had been buried at Chiselhurst church, I inquired the way thither. It wasn't far, directly up the main road from the house. In a few minutes I stood before the grave. As I was about to turn away a close carriage drove up to the curb and a young man helped out a slender woman in deep black. She approached the grave and the young man brought from the interior of the carriage a large bundle of cut flowers. I recognized the face of the ex-empress at once, as anybody might have done. Divining that the two mourners wished to be alone, I walked away and only glanced back once to see that the flowers had been placed upon the grave and that the beautiful woman was kneeling, with her tall, handsome son. The unfortunate prince was killed by a brawny Zulu in South Africa not many months afterward. To "poor Carlotta" we now must add "poor Eugenie."—Jullus Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle. --- can count on every time. Of style wherever hats are the hat for looks, and the hat cannot be made.

His Precious Packages Concealed in Seemingly Worthless Foot Coverings, Montana Man Came Through Without Arousing Suspicion. Henry Ellinger came to Montana in the early '60s. Then greenbacks were practically unknown in Virginia City. Gold dust was the circulating medium and every counter and bar was equipped with gold scales and instead of being dollars and cents the reckoning medium was ounces and pennyweights. When his stock of goods was sold out, says the Anaconda Standard, Mr. Elling decided that it would be a good investment if he should make a trip overland to the states, purchase a new stock of goods and continue in the clothing business. He had about $10,000 in the best of gold dust to his credit in the banks then established in Virginia City and a question which bothered him sorely was how to get this money to civilization without losing it, for road agents often disputed the right of way with the stage coaches and they leveled frequent tributes on the passengers, sometimes stripping them to the hide. Wells, Fargo & Co. made a practice of shipping gold dust east for the miners, but this was expensive, the ratio for insurance being sometimes as high as 10 per cent on the amount carried. This meant a great deal of money to a man, even in those days and Mr. Elling thought he could find a way to get his money to Omaha which would beat that scheme all hollow. After considering the matter in its different phases he finally expressed the money to his own order as far as Salt Lake City, taking passage on the same coach. To Salt Lake City the express rate was not so high and practically the danger zone of road agents was passed after this point was reached, the Portneuf canyon and Beaver canyon in Idaho and the section along the Beaverhead valley between the Pete Daly ranch and Williams junction, in what is now Montana, being the most dangerous Mr. Elling and his gold dust arrived at Salt Lake City without incident. For some reason the road agents had not learned that the coach carried a great amount of treasure and no attempt at a hold-up was made, though more than one of the passengers breathed hard and had his heart in his mouth when some unexpected stop was made during the dark hours of the night, for the coach traveled night and day and as fast as four or six horses could bowl it along, and it made an average speed of about ten miles an hour. After a day's rest in Salt Lake City the journey was resumed. The express company knew that he had the dust and knew he was going on to Omaha, so they were watching him. The morning the coach was hitched up and drove around the hotel after him he wandered into the back yard of the hotel and spied a pair of boots not too badly worn, which some one had discarded. These gave him an idea. His gold dust was in two packages and, securing a stout buckstring string, he tied the two boots together by their ears and, putting a part of the gold in either bootleg, he threw them into the bottom of the coach with the remark that his boots hurt him and that he was taking the old ones along so that he could change if his feet got to hurting him too badly. Nobody had a suspicion that there was $10,000 in those old boots, and Mr. Eilling kept them under his feet ught and day until he reached Omaha. One Argument for Good Roads: One way to get a man interested in good roads is to get him to drive over country roads as they now are. If he does not then become an enthusiast he must be blind, deaf, dumb or lacking in mental equipment. Gove ee a Ry aN Wy ‘ CITY NEWS. 3 i> y Mrs, L. L. Smith is home from her summer vacation.

Bishop Wordsworth, in a letter to the laity of his diocese, says the pres- ent generation are slacker than their fathers in attendance on God's house. “As regards money,” his lordship re- marks, “not one of us is sufficiently careful of it as a trust from God. Most waste it, sometimes by hoarding {t, more often by mis-spending it, and many are proud of their extravagance. Men and women run lightly into debt and tempt others {nto ft. In some vill- ages there is scarcely a family which is not in debt; and to be in debt en- courages dishonesty and le:sens gen- erally the sense of hon Even ed- ucated men take or giv oribes, and call them ‘commissions’, others take what {s not theirs, and call {t a ‘per- quisite.’ Again, the sin of betting and gambling and generally of speculation is one which particularly aflects the young of our generation; and those who give way to it are drawn on into tther sins, often without seeming to te able to help themselves. Like the other evil passions of impurity and intemperance, the reckless pursuit of money ends very frequently in real sulcide—that is to say, intentional selfmurder not caused by insanity. ‘This 1s one of the great curses of our present life. Witnessed Biblical Tragedy. Senator Tillman of South Carolina tells of a little girl whose statements were aways exaggerated until she be came known in school and Sunday school as ‘a little Har.” Her parents were dreadfully worried about her and made strenuous efforts to correct the bad habit. One afternoon her mother overheard an argument with her play: wate, Willie Bangs, who seemed to finish the discussion by saying emphat- feally: “I'm older than you, ‘cause my birthday comes first, in May, and yours don’t come until September.” “Oh, of course your birthday comes first,” sneeringly answered little Nel- le; “but that fs ‘cause you came down first. I remember looking at the an gels when they were making you.” “Come here, Nellie, come here in- stantly,” cried her mother. “It {s breaking mother's heart to wear you tell such awful stories.

J., who are said to believe this story, which is be- ing told there, says the New York World. Mrs. F. P. Scully was hanging clothes on the line in her yard when she happened to whistle a few bars of her favorite air, “The Wearing of the Green.” To her amazement a whip- snake glided from the woodpile near by, halted and seemed fascinated by the music. When Mrs. Scully ceased whistling the snake vanished in the woodpile. On her husband's return from the copper works, where he is employed, Mrs. Scully told him how unwittingly she had played snake charmer. “There are others,” laughed Scully, and he went to the yard and whistled “The Wearing of the Green.” In a few moments the snake appeared and seemed greatly to enjoy Scully’s wind ‘nusic, Since then all the Scullys, young and old, have been whistling to the snake, which has become quite tame. Recently James Ryan, a native of Ulster, moved near the banks of the Morris canal and next door to the Scullys. Ryan was cutting grass in his yard Saturday when he chanced to whistle “Boyne Water.” He had heard of Scully's snake and so was not surprised when a whipsnake appeared. “You're a nationalist reptile, but Till make you dance to my music,” ex- claimed Ryan. Hearing the tune the angry Scully strode from his house and loudly whis- tled “The Wearing of the Green.” Out from the wood wriggled a whip- snake as much like the other as are two blackthorns of the same growth. ‘The snakes attacked each other flerce- ly. Scully and Ryan were about to pitch into each other when: their wives in- tervened. The snakes doubtless would have fought to the death, but Scully grabbed Parnell’s tail and Ryan seized William of Orange's tail and they tore the snakes apart. One made for the woodpile, the other crawled under a gmall shed. Sturgeon In British Columbia. For several years previous to 1902 the sturgeon fishery in the Fraser riv- er was an important industry. One mil- lon pounds of fresh sturgeon packed in {ce was shipped east annually. A very considerable amount of sturgeon roe was shipped each year to Burope to be manufactured into caviare. The steurgeon then almost entirely disap- peared from the river, and only a few —barely enough to supply the local demand—were taken. The disappear- ance of this fish has been attributed to overfishing. During the last half of July the sturgeon have appeared in large numbers. Nearly all are small and would easily pass through the sturgeon nets, but a very large num- ber have become entangled in the salmon gill nets. These are supposed to be returned to the water in alF cases where they have not been killed. Under the law and the regulations no sturgeon under four feet in length may be sold in markets here, nor ship- ped abroad. The fishermen have, therefore, no temptation to fail to return to the water all fish under this length which they have not been obliged to kill to get them out of their nets. One night recently a stur- geon eleven feet long, weighing more than 500 pounds, was taken in a salmon net. The Frogs. Proceeding with my studies of nm ture I could not help but be struck with the idiocy of the frogs. They were much alarmed by my approach, and leaped frantically, but instead of leaping away from me they leaped toward me, many of them, and even against me. There was one frog especially, who, in the most fatuous manner hurled himself against my legs repeatedly. “Why are you such a fool?” I asked, at length. “That is easily answered,” replied the frog, with admirable courtesy. “You are perhaps not aware of what fs nevertheless a fact, that American frogs, with the exception of a few old familles in New Jersey, are descended from the frog who would a-wooing go, whether his mother would let him or no. In other words, our idiocy is hereditary.” Is it not singular?—Life. ‘Fite Home Pesnte. Most of us might and ought to fing é& our own household much more than we look for. It is necessary fer those who would live happily together that they should try to show thelr best to one another. They should try to show the best of their minds. All things should be in common. Every pleasant pleasant experience, whether it be of books or of life, ought to be shared. Existence is maintained at a much lower level of happiness than It should be, simply because those who are ound by the closest natural ties do not know how to make each other happy—grudge the time that should be given to the arranging of the soul. —Claudtus Cleas.

Pueblo is to have a big cold storage plant. The Gunnison tunnel is within 10, 000 feet of completion. Grand Junction peaches were sold for $2.37½ a box in Boston. Telluride, Ouray and Silverton—that great mining triangle—are beating best records. Land in Palisade, bought three years ago for $10 an acre, was sold, recen- tly, for $1,050 an acre. Forty-five carloads of fruit netted Grand Junction growers $60,199.20. This is a world record. Grand Junction fruit growers say that a good crop of high-class pears is better than a gold mine. Pueblo hopes to add a nailless horse- shoe factory to its already long list of manufacturing industries. One pear orchard on the western slope will produce $6,000 worth of marketable fruit this season. It's a mighty poor coal miner who is not drawing at least $100 a month in Fremont county just now. An oil refining plant with a capacity of 500 barrels a day is to be erected at Boulder. The machinery is on the way from Ohio. It is estimated that the beet sugar crop in Weld county will be worth over $1,500,000 to the farmers of that section this year. Within a year it is hoped to have Trinidad connected with Cokedale, Segundo, Hastings and other points by an electric railroad. The second crop of strawberries in Fremont county is almost ready for picking. Two crops of berries a year in Colorado? Sure thing. A new irrigation project which will bring 8,000 acres of the finest fruit land imaginable under water has been started in Grand Junction. Larimer county boasts of the highest irrigation ditch in the world. The lower end of the Link ditch, now building, is 10,000 feet above sea level. A fifteen-acre tract of improved orchard land near Palisade has just been sold for $18,000, and the Nebraska man who got it knows that he secured a bargain. The total valuation of Larimer county property, according to the schedule just filed, is $8,514,123. An increase of more than $500,000 over last year. Two Palisade men made 900 peach boxes in ten hours, without the aid of a machine. They have to hustle the boxes in that section to keep up with the growth of the fruit. Every day some visitor returns from Routton county bringing reports of the wonderful richness of that county and the development sure to follow when it is opened by the Moffat road. Two hundred and thirty-five thousand six hundred and eighty acres of farming land in Weld county are valued at $4,500,000, according to the recently completed report of the assessors. Yampa is proudly showing oats nearly seven feet tall and turnips weighing seven and one-half pounds each, as an evidence that Routton county is some pumpkins itself when it comes to agriculture. "Best crops in years; highest prices. Watch us smile." Such is the chorus of the Fremont county farmers at the present time, and the song is being sung not alone in Fremont, but throughout the state. Isn't it good to live in Colorado? Efforts are being made on the western slope to build a railroad through the western part of Montrose county as far as Paradox. Such a railroad would tap a splendid area of the finest fruit, agricultural and grazing land, to say nothing of minerals. At the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce at Fort Collins the following were elected directors for the ensuing year: Prof. W, L. Carlyle, Peter Anderson, I. W. Bennett, T. H. Robertson, C. A.

Marksheffel pleaded not guilty, submitted no evidence, and was admitted to $70 bail pending an appeal to the County Court. The Loveland sugar factory is grinding beets and has made a successful start on the long campaign. There are about 10,000 tons of beets in the sheds and more are coming at a rapid rate. The beets are smaller than in former years, and as a rule there is a better stand, which will bring the average tonnage up to the standard of last year. About 10,000 acres will be taken care of by the Loveland factory, and so far the crop is testing well in sugar. The factory will have a payroll during the campaign of about $40,000 a month. Another carload of honey will be shipped from Boulder in a few days. In all over eighteen carloads will be shipped from this county this year. The value of the honey raised in Boulder county this year will be over $60,000, as each carload is worth about $3,500. Most if not all of this will be shipped east of the Mississippi river. Bee men say that by the end of November, if not before, there will not be any Colorado honey left in this state. Ohio has taken all of the honey raised in this immediate vicinity. Mrs. Nellie H. Smith of Snyder, Colorado, charged with the murder of her sixteen-year-old daughter Shirley, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the District Court. The defendant was terribly shocked, breaking down and weeping bitterly. The jury was out seven hours and its verdict was contrary to general expectations M. M. House, attorney for the defendant, appealed to the court for a low bond that she might visit her two small children during the five days which must elapse before arguments on the motion for a new trial HOME-MADE REMEDY HOME-MADE REMEDY INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE PARED BY ANYONE. Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Bladder Weakness Though Harmless and Pleasant to Take. What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as formulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. HAD A FELLOW FEELING. Aunt Susan's Heart Went Out to "Pore Missus Astor." Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropolis pretty well. Had he not been there three times in four years—and twice he had ridden on the elevated. So when he brought Aunt Susan with him (on the fourth trip) he naturally assumed the role of guide. She marveled at everything until they sat down for luncheon. They had gone into the Astor house for that meal, but all its other marvels seemed lost on the visiting country hostess, as she looked open-eyed at the crowds that filled not only the corridors but the restaurants. Scarcely had they found seats, when this amazement took definite shape. "Eli," said she in a stagey whisper, "I can't set here an' eat peaceably. I jes' must go downstairs an' help pore Missus Astor with the cookin' an' dishes."—Bohemian. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fornight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

A Washington doctor was recently called to his telephone by a colored woman formerly in the service of his wife. In great agitation the darky advised the physician that her youngest child was in a bad way. "What seems to be the trouble?" asked the doctor. "Doc, she done swallered a whole bottle of ink!" "I'll be there in a short while to see her," said the Medico. "In the mean time have you done anything for her?" "I done give her three pieces o' blottin' paper, Doc," said the negress, doubtfully—Harper's Weekly. On Wit and Humor. Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. We weep at what thwarts or exceeds our desires in serious matters; we laugh at what only disappoints our expectations in trifles. We shed tears from sympathy with real and necessary distress; as we burst into laughter from want of sympathy with that which is unreasonable and unnecessary, the absurdity of which provokes our spleen or mirth, rather than serious reflections on it.—William Hazlitt.

The new steamer City of ____, was laid up for repairs and one of the rickety old-timers of the line was sailing in her place. A passenger who was somewhat irritated by the fact remarked to another, an Irishman, by the way: "The City of ____ always gets in at two in the morning and this old tub never gets in before six." The Irishman thought for a moment and replied: "It's all right. The distance is just the same and we get a longer sail for the money." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Middle Ground. "Babies who are weaklings should be killed at birth," remarked the advanced doctor. "We are getting to be idiots and imbeciles," he added. "You are too radical," remarked a hearer. "I wouldn't kill an idiot or an imbecile, but I wouldn't try to make a doctor out of him, either." It was at this point debate took a turn almost acrimonious.—Philadelphia Ledger. $100 Reward, $100. As to the Scorchers. "Do many 'endurance race' autos pass here?" asked the city boarder, peering down the road. "Yeas, stranger," replied the old farmer. "They are all endurance racers to us." "To you?" "Sure. It is an endurance test of patience to keep from blazing away at them every time they run over a cow or scare a horse." Preparation is the basis of power; and the whole secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes—Disraeli. NO NEED FOR WORDS. Brief Pantomime Told Everything to the Onlooker. Harrison Grey Fiske discussed, at a dinner in New York, the art of acting. "I believe," said Mr. Fiske, "in subtlety and restraint. A nod, a shake of the head, a silent pause—these things are often more effective than the most violent yelling and ranting. "Life is like that, subtle and silent. What, for instance, could be more expressive than this scene, a scene without a spoken word, that I once witnessed in the country? "An undertaker stood on a corner near a noble mansion. He elevated his brows hopefully and inquiringly as a physician came from the house. The physician, compressing his lips, shook his head decidedly and hurried to his carriage. Then the undertaker with a sigh passed on. When the Orator Soared. In the course of an address extolling the virtues of the medical profession, Dr. L. B. McBrayer of Asheville, N. C., used the following characteristic southern language: "Could I borrow from the sun his cheery smile, from the moon her golden beams of light, from the southern zephyrs their softness, from the rose its fragrance, from the rainbow its celestial beauty, from the babbling brook its laughter and song, from the sea its awe and wonder, from the valley its serenity, and from the mountains their majesty and put these down upon a piece of azure blue sky, with comets for commas and planets for periods, I might then paint for you what the practice of medicine is like." Pure Food. The pure food law does not prohibit the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum—but it is a well known fact that a baking powder in which Alum is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. A Terrible Possibility. Little Lucy came home from school crying piteously. It was some time before the family could learn the cause of her trouble, but finally the sobbing grew less violent and she wailed out: "Teacher says—if I don't get my spelling lesson—she's going to make an example of me, and—if she puts me there, I'm—afraid the scholars will rub me ou—t!"—Detroit News Tribune. 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. Sore disappointments of to-day often prove the grand blessings of to-morrow.—Faber.

Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought About by Hand of Fate. A farmerish-looking man shared my seat on the train as I was traveling through Indiana, and after we had been talking for a couple of hours a very common-looking woman got on at a station. I saw the man look very hard at her, and directly after she had taken a seat he rose up and said: "Excuse me, stranger, but I think I used to know that woman, and I'll go over and see her." He was gone about an hour, and I had forgotten all about him when he returned to say: "Yes, I knew her. Durn my cats if it didn't turn out to be my first wife!" "It did?" "Sure's you live. We was divorced 'leven years ago, and since then I've been married twice and lost both women by death. I surely believe the hand of Providence is in it." "For just what reason?" "Why, I've got nine children that need a mother, and Hanner is willing to try it again and see if we can't get along better!"—Exchange. Ivy Does Damage.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- A The bell-shaped hat has had a great triumph, and when one considers the extreme ugliness of its outline, and the rarity of the saving grace of becomingness, this is little short of amazing. The latest bell-shaped hats are made of ecru lace, and bound with velvet or silk, with a full beefeater crown of lace, tied with ribbons at one side, while usually a rose is laid on the left side of the brim. Stitched linen is also called into service for the bell-shaped hat, and trimmed with a twisted scarf of chiffon it looks its best. Again, it is made of white chip and bound with black chip, the crown being a mass of flowers sewn closely together. And further have I noticed the questionable charms of the bell-shaped hat expressed in colored crinoline lined with black moire, the sole trimming on the crown being an immense mass of waving feather culled from the back or breast of the farmyard fowl. One of the most effective hats—for a woman of "certain age"—I have seen this year was a large cloche of exquisitely fine "crin," with a full transparent crown of point d'Esprit and a large chou of black satin ribbon at the left side; just above this chou there was a cluster of three black orchid tips, and jutting from the center of these a large and full white algrette. It was decidedly a large hat, but so quiet and "lady-like" that it would not attract undue attention, and to its fair owner it proved delightfully becoming. More and more it becomes the fashion to wear black hats with white gowns and to accompany these with fine black spotted veils, edged and inserted with fine ivory lace. One or two notable leaders of fashion in Paris started this fashion at the end of the last season, and it has "caught on" amazingly; with a pure white gown and black hat in which not a single tinge of color is introduced, looks surprisingly distinguished; and most women look their best with something dark on their heads. Something quite dark or something quite light. This is a safe rule. Of course, there are women who can wear medium tints on their heads with good results, but these are the exceptions; black—in the best and lightest materials—is quite safe for a summer hat and, besides this, it is exceedingly fashionable. Let us speak now of the new sleeves which are set in folds or pleats from shoulder to elbow, and which then extend in mitten fashion right down to the wrists. These sleeves are leaping into favor with the Parisiennes. The sitting figure in the sketch which accompanies this article shows sleeves of this order, and are to be recommended to those who do not care for the ultra-short sleeve and who find the half-and-half business rather dowdy. Sleeves similar to those in the sketch look exceedingly well when carried out in crepe de Chine and Maltese lace—both materials being in a pale shade of beige. The lace of Malta is in great favor this year; the kind most used on summer dresses is rather coarse and made in silk; it is—as a rule—in a very pale shade of beige and it harmonises deliciously with Tussore silk or with crepe de Chine in the same shade. Fillet net, inset with Irlande or ornamented with applications of white linen, continues to enjoy a triumphant career; it is effective and pliable, and, above all, it is new. I am not, and never shall be, an admirer of file—except for certain trimmings, but I realise the possibilities of the net as a background. Fortunately there is no indication that gown sleeves will attain unwieldy dimensions, such dimensions as they did a dozen years ago or less when the upper sleeve resembled nothing else so much as it did a small balloon, and when the tallest and 11 An Original Design for Autumn Coat. slightest of women with the narrowest shoulders could wear them and look older than a monstrosity. The loosely-fitting coat which reaches above the knees, and is cut away round in the front, shows an ever-increasing popularity. The latest edition of these shows a seam above the waist, and a broad outlining of galon which extends round the wide armhole and appears again at the base of the full square sleeve. Such a coat have I seen in reseda green with braiding in black, worn with a high-waisted skirt, over a shirt of filet net, and crowned with a big black bell-shaped hat made of tightly-stretched silk, adorned with a panache. This is destined for autumn wear. The Irish lace coat, long or short, usually boasting a sacque back, lined with moussline, or unlined, is having a great vogue, and very pretty indeed it looks. Altogether, I notice a tendency towards wearing coats which differ from the skirts, and the volle skirt of a light color is accompanied with great success by a short, or three-quarter, coat of glace, voluminous lace frills on the sleeves, and lace or net jabot.

Since the French privateer and smuggler, Jean Laffte, sailed the high seas and brought his treasures to the gulf coast and buried them now and then it happens that some sensation arises as to their immediate whereabouts, says the Houston Post. Thirty-four years ago the pirate of the gulf, as Laffitte was called, appeared in a dream to Dr. Beazly, and, rather roughly taking him by the collar, told him to come with him and he would show him where there were gold and silver and diamonds buried. The doctor in his dream followed his midnight visitor and he directed him to a certain place in the cottage, which was then the Beazly home and occupied by the family, and designated the spot under which lies the much-talked-of wealth of the privateer. The doctor, having the same dream repeated twice in the same night, became wide awake after Laffitte's third visit and much interested, the result being that he did, and perhaps, too, very shortly afterward, begin digging under the house in pursuit of the treasure. After getting to the depth of four or five feet he found nothing of any moment except a very unusual stone in this part of the world, where nothing of its kind was ever seen here. Had he kept on possibly the treasure might have been found and the restless spirit of Laffitte, wherever it may be, might have been released from this burden of secrecy, a burden from which, seemingly, he wished to be relieved, as another visit has been made in the same house, and this time in a dream Laffitte appears in the presence of a lady, urging her to get the lost jewels, gold and silver. After all these years Dr. Beazly has at last consented to have some one else who believes in the undertaking join him to find the treasures, and they have made arrangements satisfactory to all parties concerned and now, in a short time, Mr. McKay, a banker at La Porte, being the associate mentioned, will begin operations to find the treasures stowed deep down under the old house. None Such Now. "Pierpont Morgan's superb collections in his London town house," said a New York decorator, "were opened to a few of us during our summer convention at the South Kensington Museum. "Among Mr. Morgan's treasures there was an old book that I liked for its qualitness. This book, which was splendidly bound, was Hoptoun's 'Concordance of Years.' It was a chronology of remarkable events and I copied a few of these events down. We have none such now. Listen." The decorator then read: 1116. The moon seemed turned into bloode. 1128. Men wore haire like women. 1233. Four sunnes appeared, beside a true sunne, of a red coloure. 1631. Fiends were seen speake unto men as they traveled. 1401. A red birde with a girl's head seen thrice in London. 1477. A blazing star on Palm Sunday near the sun. From Prehistoric Days. The burial place of an adult, probably of the Stone Age, was excavated in the Island of Tiree, one of the Hebrides. The body had been placed in the smallest possible compass on its right side, with knees drawn up to the chin, but rather breast downwards. The relics around and upon the skeleton are in harmony with the theory, deducible from the position in which the body had been placed, that the burial belongs to a very early period. The condition of the bones and the relics is so good that they could be readily set up in a museum in the original position. Discoveries have also been made recently in the Island of Coll. An important find was that of a set of 30 small, finely-made flint implements, probably of the Bronze age. The objects include one of the most beautifully-made flint arrow points, of a type more common in Ireland than Scotland. "It was so nice of you to see me home," she said. "I hope the trip has not been very tiresome to you." "Oh, no, not at all, not at all," he replied. "In fact, it has been rather interesting." "You cannot know how glad you have made me. Do you really mean it, Mr. Worthwads? I shall be delighted to have you call at any time. Can't you come over to-morrow evening? I felt the first time I ever saw you that we were destined to become——" "Excuse me, Miss Oldun. I am afraid you didn't quite understand. I have found the trip interesting because I supposed we had the most foolish advertisements in the trolley cars out our way. I find that the ones in these cars are even more funny—especially the rhymed ones which the advertisers have composed themselves." Stenographers' Secrets. Stenographers will be interested in a recent decision in New York by which it was decided that a stenographer may not be enjoined from telling what she knows about her employer's business. A young lady in a broker's office was summoned to tell what she knew about it by a rival broker. Her employer used for an injunction, but the justice denied the injunction. Very few girls would willingly betray any confidence, however, unless compelled to do so.
