Whites Trying to Eliminate Negroes from Owning Property in a Certain Section of the National Capitol—Interesting Meeting of the Niagara Movement Held by the District of Columbia Branch. VOL. XIV, Washing Whites Trying to Eliminate Neg Certain Section of the N Meeting of the Niagara District of Co Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. A case which has a serious bearing on the property rights of Negroes in the District, has developed through the purpose of a number of white citizens to seek to restrain a worthy Negro from occupying a house purchased and transferred to himself through due process of law. Francis de S. Smith, a civil engineer and an instructor in the colored High School, recently purchased the property from R. E. Pairo, a lawyer and business man of exceptionally good standing in the community, intending to occupy the same as a home for himself and wife. The residents of Bloomingdale, the section in which the property is situated, claim that under a clause of the deed, by which the house was originally sold, it was covenanted that none of the houses in that subdivision should be sold to or occupied by colored people or people of that blood or descent. The case is to be tested in the courts and will be watched with interest by all classes of citizens. In every large city in these days of progress and development, there are companies and individuals who make a business of booming and exploiting suburban land. It is so in Denver as well as it is in Washington. These persons in order that their properties may be considered more desirable, have fallen upon the plan of restricting the possible residents of those sections to certain people and barring others. Now, what possible standing in law can such restrictions have? Is it possible that men may say, that another man shall not live here or there and have that prejudice reinforced by decisions of the courts. Such a thing is scarcely credible in face of the positive and unequivocal language of the 14th and 15th Amendments. Of course the case will not win itself and the same measures must be taken for proper defense of the suit as the other side takes to prosecute the same. Lawyers must be retained and the costs of the courts must be met. In this instance, the case of one Negro is the case of all. If Smith or any other Negro, whose rights are in jeopardy cannot meet State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATI COLOR gton D.

All would be exclusive peoples who wish to enjoy the earth, the air and the water, and all that in them is, to the detriment of others will soon be schooled to the proper respect, even for the rights of the most humble, when they find themselves confronted by a people determined to stand by and protect themselves in the privileges guaranteed them under the Constitution and with funds adequate to meet every demand. Any one not knowing the object of the gathering together of so many people, representative of the brain, refinement and substance of the Negro on last Monday night at Shiloh Baptist church, would have conceded without hesitation that the meeting was for a purpose and that purpose a worthy one. They would have seen Rev. J. Milton Waldron presiding and that in itself would have left no room for doubt. In addition to this champion of Negro rights and devoted Christian minister there were on the platform such aggressive race leaders as Reverends Francis J. Grimke, Walter Brooks, Garnett Waller of Baltimore, Garner of Plymouth church and Dr. Gilbert of South Africa. The lay brethren were represented by Hon. John F. Cook & Lawyer Horner. It would have been natural to conclude in such a distinguished presence that matters of the utmost importance to Negroes were to be considered. A little while latter he would have seen Dr. W. E. B. DuBois escorted by Rev. Waldron, the pastor of Shiloh, to the seat of honor on the platform and he would have then known that a public meeting under the auspices of the District of Columbia Branch was the event and that Dr. DuBois was the star attraction. The Niagara Movement is but a little more than two years old. It is a name which is used to designate a band of earnest, intelligent and loyal Negroes who have served notice on the American people, that they believe in the integrity and equality of Negro manhood and womanhood; that they are separate and distinct from individual or organized apologists or trim- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1907. mers, be their influence what it may, and that their demand is for the fullest measure of civil opportunity and privilege, such as is enjoyed by other classes of citizens. More than this they would not have, less than this will never satisfy. Dr. DuBois held the large audience for an hour and a half with no attempt whatever at oratory. It was rather a heart to heart talk, in a distinct and pleasant tone of converse, easily heard in the remotest corner of the room. Fresh from two months of travel in Europe and on the continent, his message to the American Negro was one of hope and good cheer, for it had enabled him to appreciate the fact, that America is not the only country of unsolved problems. In a scholarly and entertaining way he traced the various phases of the time-worn Irish question, showing how successive generations have grappled with and adjusted some important branch of the great main problem, until he said "To-day, if O'Connell were alive he would feel that all or nearly all of the great reforms for which he worked and suffered were in active operation or guaranteed." In like manner the question of caste and civil rights, as affecting the Negro in America, has changed in many ways. It is not the same question of the '60s nor the '80s. Yet enough of the old remains to give each loyal American whether white or Negro, the deepest concern. Prof. DuBois made but one reference to politics and then in a forceful way he arraigned the Republican party for permitting the repudiation of the Amendments to the Constitution, as is practiced in the southern states. In this connection he said "If the Constitution is right and we believe it is and the Republican party and Mr. Roosevelt do not make all proper efforts to enforce it, it is the duty of the Negro and all good citizens to vote against them." This sentiment elicited loud and prolonged applause as well as many exclamations of approval. Rev. Walter Brooks followed with remarks of general commendation of the objects of the movement and eulogistic of the high character, talents and earnest purpose of the General Secretary, Mr. DuBois. The movement at its annual meeting at Boston Aug. 26 to 29, adopted an address to the country in which this phrase occurs:— "We call on the 500,000 free black voters of the North. Use your ballots to defeat Theodore Roesevelt, William Taft, or any man named by the present dictatorship. Better vote for avowed enemies than for false friends. But, better still, vote for the white laboring classes, remembering that the cause of labor is the cause of black men, and the black man's cause is labors own." JOHN H. PAYNTER. LOCKE OBJECTED TO BY AMERICAN STUDENTS. LOCKE OBJECTED TO BY AMERICAN STUDENTS. London, Oct. 7.—The color line has made its appearance at Oxford and many of the American Rhodes scholars, particulars those from the South are making protests against the acceptance of A. L. Locke, the Negro student appointed by the Rhodes selection committee of Pennsylvania. Secretary Charles W. Boyd, of the Rhodes fund, has received many remonstances, not alone from Rhodes scholars, but from influential Americans, declaring that the admission of a Negro on equal terms with white students will create a prejudice against the educational work of the trust. Mr. Boyd, speaking with authority of Lord Grey and the full bench of trustees, says: "Alain Lorraine Locke has been appointed by the selected committee of the Pennsylvania Rhodes trustees, and their agents in England have the greatest respect for American opinion and never interfere in principle with the decision of the American board. They regard this as an American question in which it would be presumptuous for them to say a word." The university authorities have not raised any objection on account of his color, but one of the smaller colleges, Hertford, has been chosen as Lock's residence. He will have the same treatment as the forty-four other scholars arriving from America, and is going into residence next week. Locke made a good reputation as a worker when he was a Harvard student and has gone to Oxford with the ambition of fitting himself for taking a prominent part in Booker T. Washington's work of educating the black race in America. AFRICAN NATIVES Johannesburg, Sept. 28.—A report of the Transvaal Land Owners' Association says that Negroes are paying white field hands good wages while they sit around in the shade and boss them. "A decided advance is noticeable among the natives as regards their methods of cultivation," says one of the commissioners is his report. "In former years most of their land was tilled by women, who used the hoe, practically their own implement of agriculture, whereas at present it is quite common to see the men cultivating with plows drawn by either oxens or donkeys." Another of the commissioners writes: "The rapid strides the natives are making towards civilization and the eagerness they display in endeavoring to learn to read and write have of late become very marked. I regret to have to say it, but it appears to me that the native children as regards education are comparatively advancing more rapidly than the children of the poorer whites in the outlying districts." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Geo. W. Harris a former slave, died recently near Rowlandsville, Maryland, at the age of 113 years, one month and 14 days. Harris' maternal grand-mother was 117 years old when she died, while his mother died at the age of 121 years. Rev. James O. Early, a young Afro-American preacher of Richmond, Va., who recently invented a whistling piano, has refused an offer to sell his patent and will organize a stock company to members of his own race to put the instrument on the market. Luther Wright, an Afro American of Humbolt, Kansas, upon being searched by the police recently was found to have a large sack of $20 gold pieces and a number of rolls of bills in his possession amounting to probably $5,000. After considerable investigation by the authorities it was found that Wright saved his money from odd jobs of work, and always asked his employers to pay him in gold, a request generally complied with when possible. Paterson, N. J., Sept. 28.—Samuel Thompson, colored, has caused commotion among his neighbors, by placing a coffin in his front yard. He bought it from a junk dealer and declares that it fits him as if made to order. He has no thought of dying and in reply to protests of his neighbors says that the coffin will remain. Mrs. Annie Wright saw the casket yesterday when leaving home. She became hysterical and a physician was summoned. A monument has been erected in Monrovia, South Africa to the memory of Thomas McWilliams of Lawrence, Kansas, the first missionary ever sent to that field by the African Methodist Episcopal church. McWilliams was a Lawrence boy, educated in the city schools and a graduate of the University of Kansas. The monument erected to his memory is of rough NO. 3. granite and is fittingly inscribed to him as the first missionary. The occasion of the dedication of the granite shaft was made a national holiday in Monrovia and the people turned out en masse to do honor to the work of Mr. McWilliams. INTERESTING EVENTS INTERESTING EVENTS Held by the B. L. I. P. U. of A., of the United States and Canada--Delegates Royally Entertained by the Local Branch. For the past fortnight the city has been turned over to the B. L. I. P. U. of A. of the United States and Canada, in their National convention, and how well they have spent the time in a business and social way words cannot adequately describe. The first social event, a smoker was held Friday night of last week at East Turner hall under the auspices of Local No. 1 of Denver. It was an event that brought many hundreds of people to witness, and as a result it has been the popular gossip of the week of the genial hospitality of the organization which spared neither pains nor money to make it pleasant for everybody. While each individual member saw to it that their guests were well cared for, President T. McAllister and his corps of committee are responsible in a large degree for the splendid arrangement of the affair. Sunday afternoon the organization met at their hall and headed by a brass band, marched to the Peoples' Presbyterian church where memorial services were held the sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. D. D. Cole. He was preceeded by a very interesting program. The climax of the convention was that of a grand ball at East Turner hall, which was preceded by a very interesting program, consisting of musical numbers and addresses with President McAllister as Master of Ceremonies. The hall was filled with enthusiastic listners and many on the program had to respond more than once to encores. In the addresses of the visiting delegates they all make it a point to allude to the Local branch of Denver, and its presiding officer T. McAllister and according to their statments Denver ranks first for genial hospitality and its president is first in the same catagora as an astute executive. The citizens of Denver as well as the visiting friends and delegates has never been given a more elaborate royal time than was shown them by Local No.1 of this city, and it is with esteem pleasure that the COLORADO STATESMAN extends the of congratulation to its officers, committeemen and members on the well merited fame they have won. ```markdown ``` Hair Dressing Parlor.

Searchers For Land in the Far North Are Frozen in for Winter. San Francisco. Out of the frozen north comes the first story of the Mikkelsen expedition that went into the Arctic on the vessel Duchess of Bedford, searching for land that eminent scientists had reason to believe existed far to the northward of Alaska, far into the pathless regions that reach into Beaufort sea, where no scientific expedition before traversed the white seas, and only an occasional whaler, inured to the dangers of the north and intrepid through sheer recklessness of his isolated position, sometimes shaped his course. But even though some of the men come back to civilization, there remain in the distant land of ice Capt. Ejar Mikkelsen, the head of the party, and Ernest De Koven Leffingwell, scientist and former traveler of the Arctic ocean. It is within the possibilities that Capt. Mikkelsen and Mr. Leffingwell may yet distinguish themselves by their scientific labors. Already shut in from escape from the Arctic this season, they are housed in quarters on Flaxman island, which lies to the north of Alaska and midway between Point Darrow and Demarkation point. Dr. George P. Howe of Lawrence, Massachusetts, who was surgeon of the expedition, headed the little party that returned direct from this out-of-the-way Flaxman island. He says: "The expedition was organized to go in search of land that was believed to exist in Beaufort sea, to the westward of Banks land. The theory that land lay there was based on tidal observations and deductions made by Dr. Harris of the coast and geodetic survey. He had come to the firm conclusion that land existed there. "We put in at Flaxman island to prepare winter quarters. Capt. Mikelsen was opposed to losing any unnecessary time at the island and he and Professor Lefingwell soon struck out over the ice, eager to pursue their investigations to the end. "From their accounts when they came back I judged that they must have had a terribly hard journey over the boundless seas of broken and shifting ice, but they would not go into details. "They struck out for Beaufort sea over ice broken and hard to encompass, and succeeded in reaching the longitude of Cross island, or about seventy-two degrees and twenty minutes west. Here they eagerly sought to find tracts of land and took extensive soundings. "To their dismay, however, the blue water had no limit. Hundreds of fathoms of the sounding wire carried were dropped into the sea and st"10 no bottom and no sign of anything l. all that stretch of barrenness but blue sea and gray sky. "During the absence of Capt. Mikkelsen and Professor Leffingwell the schooner went to pieces and our party made its way back." RECOUNTS TERRIBLE STRUGGLE. Famous Ogden Murder Case is Again Brought to Light. Ogden, Utah.—Two women crouching in an upper room, terror-stricken, listening to the moans of a dying man and the crashes and blows from his enraged assailant in the room below, futile calls for the police, who could not be found; snatches of heated arguments that came through clinched teeth and from dying lips during the intermissions in the terrific struggle; finally the resounding cracks of metal against human flesh and the dull thud of a human form as it fell beaten and battered close to death—these are some of the pictures called up by Mrs. Gertrude Hull as she told the graphic story of the battle between Fred C. Walker and Dr. Earl S. Beers in the back room of the Electrical Supply and Fixture Company's store in Ogden, September 18th. Mrs. Hull didn't see the struggle, but its swift action came to her through a floor and a partition. Her story was the star feature of the prosecution, and as she told it it will live through all the criminal annals of the West as one of the most graphic portrayals ever heard upon the witness stand. The whole testimony did not in any way implicate Lawrence in the murder of Beers, although the evidence showed that he offered little resistance to the murderous assault of Walker on Beers. When the defense moved, at the close of a disastrous day, that the court dismiss the charge against Lawrence because of the fact that no evidence had been adduced against him, Judge Murphy said he would not take the trouble to hear the plea and overruled the motion. Railroad Thieves Get Big Loot. Denver.—Thieves are said to have stolen merchandise from the Burlings ton railroad between Denver and Chicago during the past year amounting to over $500,000. The company has discovered an organized gang of Italians engaged in the pilfering and has discharged 300 of them. The big conspiracy was unearthed only after months of continuous work, by the best secret service men in the country. It is believed the operations of the gang have extended to other roads. Secret service men in the employ of the Burlington railroad after months of work have succeeded in ferreting out the system by which that company has been continually robbed during the past year. Over 300 Italian laborers engaged in track work between Denver and Chicago have been discovered to belong to a gang which had perfected a system for stealing merchandise from the freight trains on that road and it is said the gang had succeeded in stealing over $500,000 worth of merchandise during the past year. Sufficient evidence could not be obtained against the men to convict and the company took the next best step to project itself and discharged these men. AWFUL PLOT TO MURDER GOV, BUCHTEL AND OTHER PROM INENT COLORADO MEN MARKED FOR ASSASSINATION. DYNAMITESENTBYMAIL POLICE STOP DEADLY PACKAGES JUST IN TIME TO AVERT TER- RIBLE CRIME. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kemp V. Bigelow, $8 clerk, mails infernal machines to Gov- ernor Buchtel, C. B. Kountz, David H. Moffat and Lawrence C. Phipps. "I needed the money," only reason given by would-be mur- derer for attempt at assassina- nation. Each bomb contained enough explosive to kill everyone within a radius of fifteen feet. Bigelow breaks down and confesses. ****************************** Four informal machines, each containing enough dynamite and powder to kill fifty men, were received through the mail by Charles B. Kountze, president of the Colorado National Bank; Lawrence Phipps, millionaire philanthropist; Gov. Henry A. Buchtel and David H. Moffat, president of the First National bank. Except for the c lever work of Chief of Police Michael A. Dalaney and Detectives Timothy Connor, John Kenney, Daniel Delaney and W. White and Pinkerton Superintendent Frank Cary, in solving the case, all of the above men, together with Edward Chase, near whose residence a wholesale consignment of explosives was found Sunday night, might have been blown to atoms. Bigelow, who comes of a good family in Bryan, Ohio, where he has a sweetheart, but who in Denver was a store clerk earning $8 a week, Sunday night went to the police with a fantastic tale of two men who had plotted the wholesale assassinations, yesterday, through the efforts of Chief of Police Michael A. Delaney and others, confessed that he alone was responsible for the attempt at wholesale murder, and his recital of the details showed that he hoped by exposing the imaginary plots to murder to gain the confidence and good will of wealthy men. He asserts that he meant no harm and believed that his story told to Policeman Sellers Sunday night would warn the men whose lives were threatened and preclude any possibility of their opening the deadly infernal machines addressed to them. The fact that the men addressed do not open their own mail and that people unknown to him would suffer never entered the shallow brain of the young man. "I Need Money," Only Reason. "I needed the money," seemed to be his only reason for the attempted murder. By choosing the mails as a means of transporting his destructive agents, Bigelow will be held for trial under the federal statutes, and it is not probable that he can hope for mercy. In working on the case the detectives gained evidence of a startling nature and which serves to show beyond a scintilla of a doubt that he is guilty. It was this evidence, thrust in the face of the prisoner, so to speak, that caused him to confess. This evidence also brought to light the fact that Bigelow was a scapegoat in his family flock; that he was forced to leave Bryan, Ohio, his birthplace, because of trouble which he had had with his father, A. L. Bigelow, a school superintendent, through vicious habits, and that he had a sweetheart named Edith in Bryan, to whom he had sent expensive presents out of the Kendrick stationery store, where he worked, and for which he never paid Watched Him Mail Bombs. The strongest piece of evidence against Bigelow besides his confession is the fact that through a clever trick of the local and Pinkerton detectives he was shadowed and seen to mail the bombs to the men whom he had warned the police would be assassinated. In his confession Bigelow insists that he mailed the bombs Sunday, and this point was allowed to slide by the chief. Pioneer Scout Lives in Poverty. Not far from Golden, on the banks of a small stream which finds its way from the foothills into the plains, there lives a man, J. M. Young by name, who, though now living alone in a tumbledown shack and existing through the few dollars a month which the county allots him, was once a partner of such men as Jim Bridger, Jim Baker, Kit Carson and others of the old-timers, some of whom became wealthy and lost their fortune as soon as it was acquired, while others took care of their wealth and became distinguished citizens of the state. Young is a familiar figure about the streets of Golden, riding in his small cart hauled by an old-time donkey, and most of the citizens know of his reputation as a pioneer, but few except the small boys of the neighborhood are acquainted with his history in connection with the other pathfinders of the state. He accompanied Bridger on his famous trip when the latter first pointed out to the Fremont party a plausible path for a railroad across the Rocky mountains. Together with Baker and Bridger he was one of a party which was among the first to make the discovery of gold in Cherry creek. All three of them made fortunes, all three of them lost them within the course of three years. who had his own reasons for keeping his own counsel as to when and where the bombs were mailed, from his prisoner. In a letter to his sweetheart Edith which was found by Detective Tim Connors, and which had not been completed by the erratic youth, he stated that he had to leave Bryan and that he hoped for something good in Denver. He promised to write often, but evidently for the reason that he did not want his letter to lead strangers to know his whereabouts, never posted it. Crouched in his chair, the center of the gaze of a score of police officials, prominent citizens and press representatives, Bigelow sat last night and, after many false starts made a confession. This confession, which was complete in detail despite the young speaker's attempt to place himself in a redeeming light, displayed the criminal instinct and the utter depravity to which a callow youth can descend. Had the police not been more than prompt in getting at the facts of the case and warning those involved, four of Denver's wealthiest citizens, or whoever might be unfortunate enough to open their mall, would have been blown to pieces, as would all who stood within fifteen feet of the deadly machines. Those who heard the confession of the remarkable young man were in many instances who had never come in close contact with a man of criminal instincts, but they were no more surprised at the confession than were the criminologists present who are used to crime in all its ordinary forms. Told Story to Curious Crowd. In the chief's office, when Bigelow succumbed to the inevitable and "came through with the real dope," as police characters would say, were Fred Moffat, of the First National Bank and a nephew of David H. Moffat, the president of the bank, for whom the bomb was intended; Edward Chase, Millionaire gambler, behind whose home forty sticks of dynamite and a quarter of a pound of black powder was discovered; Earl Hewitt, police commissioner; Vasil Chuchovitch, a millionaire real estate man; Detectives Delaney, Kinney, White and Connors; Pinkerton Superintendent Cary and Captain of Detectives Willis Loomis, and many representatives of the press. A strong odor from the cigars of those invited permeated the atmosphere when Chief Delaney asked that the cigars be extinguished, and brought forth one of the bombs which were sent through the mails, that all might see it. Each bomb was prepared in a small wooden pencil box with a slide top, which the detectives now know were carried from the Kendrick Book Company by Bigelow. It is also known that Bigelow was stopped by a head clerk, who suspected him of stealing, and was made to explain what he intended to do with the boxes. Bigelow opened the boxes, showed them to be empty, and said he desired them to send mineral specimens home to his relatives in the East. The bombs, having been examined and carefully removed, the detectives led young Bigelow into the room. Looked Like a Drug Fiend. Bigelow had been told during the afternoon by Chief Delaney of the damning evidence against him, and had promised the chief that he would confess freely. As he entered the room all eyes were riveted upon him and all beheld a nervous, pale, undersized youth, whose eyes, in their startled appearance, bore evidence of his understanding of the ordeal that he was to be forced to undergo. The eyes were like those which are frequently met with among users of drugs, and his pallor accentuated some small copper-colored blotches which disfigured the young man's cheeks and forehead. Bigelow was led, trembling, about the room. Chief of Police Delaney said to him: "I want to treat you like a man, Bigelow, and will introduce you to those who have come here to hear your true story. They are men who bear you no ill will, and who, in fact, may pity you. They like a brave man, and as you have said that you desired to ingratiate yourself with them, now is the time to tell the truth and show them that you are not all wrong." Bigelow met those present and then was led by the detectives to a chair where he could be seen by all. Into this support he sank so deeply as to almost conceal his entire diminutive form. Then followed a confession of a carefully planned scheme whereby he expected to blow four prominent men into eternity, and probably kill scores of others, besides wrecking buildings and causing a reign of terror. Bigelow will be tried and the penalty is at least twenty years in the penitentiary. More Dirt Moved Than in Panama. More Dirt Moved Than in Panama. Denver.—For those who have paid little attention to the fact that the Western Pacific, the last link in the Gould trans-continental railway system, is actually under construction from Salt Lake City to San Francisco, it may be educational to learn that each month the workmen who are preparing the road bed for this new line shift more earth than is being removed at the Panama canal. Western Pacific officials are responsible for the statement that the company is excavating more dirt and rock along the route in California and Nevada every month than is the case on the Panama canal job. In July the railroad company excavated 1,372,831 cubic yards, while the Panama canal report for the same month shows 1,048,777 cubic yards. In August the Panama canal contractors excavated 1,274,444 cubic yards. The work on the railroad for that time, the officials state, will amount to fully 1,524,000 cubic yards. The Western Pacific Railroad Company is a huge concern. The chief engineer stated recently that 8,298 men are employed and that 7,000 more are needed. The monthly expenses are $2,000,000 and track laying is progressing at three different points. THE KING OF ALL FRAUDS NEW YORK TURNS OUT GIGANTIC SCHEME THAT CAUSES OTHERS TO FADE AWAY. $38,365,000 THE SUM $38,365,000 THE SUM ANTIQUATED EQUINE STREET CAR SYSTEM INFLATED AND SOLD IN THE DARK. New York.—Amazing as was the story of Anthony N. Brady's Wall and Cortland streets ferry railway deal with the Metropolitan Securities Company, and the incidental loot of nearly $1,000,000, it will be dwarfed by exposures to come. In similar syndicate operations the same coterie of financiers in five transactions realized the staggering total of $38,365,000. All the transactions were along exactly the same lines as the Wall and Cortland street ferries deal, and the loot was secured by plundering the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. The Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth street car line never improved, and, using the same horse cars which it operated in 1896, was purchased by the syndicate for $25,000 and turned over to the Metropolitan for bonds and stocks, which at the time of the transaction had a par value of $3,000,000 and a market value of $5,550,000. The Fulton street line, similarly purchased for $160,000, was sold to the Metropolitan for securities of a par value of $1,000,000 and a market value of $1,850,000. The Thirty-fourth street cross-town line was purchased for $100,000 and sold to the Metropolitan for securities of a par value of $2,000,000 and a market value of $2,300,000. The Pavonia line, constructed at a cost of $1,500,000, was sold to the same company for securities of a par value of $10,000,000 and a market value of $18,500,000. The Columbus and Ninth avenue line, constructed at a cost of about $45,000, brought securities of a par value of $6,000,000 and a market value of $11,100,000. On all the transactions the summary reveals the amazing fact that the insiders paid out $2,235,000 for roads which they turned into the Metropolitan for securities of a par value of $22,000,000 and a market value of $41,700,000. At the time these transactions were taking place the stocks and bonds had been marked up to where there was an average price of $250 a share for the stock and $120 for the bonds, and it was at these fancy figures that the looters parcelled out the stocks and bonds to the public and made a quick realization in cash. The men involved in the syndicate were the same to whom Anthony N. Brady referred to in his testimony before the public service commission on Tuesday. It was the little coterie of insiders that during the reconstruction days and until the present have controlled local traction interests. The men are: Whitney and Elkins are dead, their holdings having passed to their estates. Taking the transactions in chronological order, the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth street lines take precedence. On September 30, 1896, this line, bankrupt, defaulted on its bonds and, losing heavily, was sold at auction at the real estate exchange, No. 11, Broadway, for $25,000. The sale was patched up and an agent named Charles W. Trustlow acted as purchaser. He really represented the Ryan interests, and Edward Lauterbauch represented the sellers of the bankrupt road. The same day, it is a matter of record, this bankrupt line, purchased for $25,000, was sold to the Metropolitan Street Railway Company for $1,500,000 worth of stock and a similar amount. Guaranteed five per cent. bonds. It is losing $60,000 a year. The Fulton street line was purchased in 1892 from Dady & O'Rourke, contractors, for $160,000. At that, they were allowed to make $100,000 profit. Five hundred thousand in bonds and $500,000 in stock was paid for it by the Metropolitan to this syndicate. The line, owns only thirty-nine miles of track. It is still a horse line and losses $25,000 a year. Bloodless Battle at Loveland. Loveland, Colo.—A desperate running battle was fought on West Third street between Charles Crutcher and two unknown prowlers, whom he had caught trying to effect an entrance into his home. That no blood was shed is not the fault of either of the participants in the three-cornered duel. A bullet passed through the sleeve of Crutcher's coat, and, according to his story, several others whizzed by within a few inches of his head. Nearly a dozen shots were fired. Crutcher believes that one of the burglars was hit, but he did not stop and no traces of blood can be found in the vicinity. The entire neighborhood was aroused by the shooting and several neighbors, armed with guns, joined Crutcher in a hunt for the thieves. No traces of them could be found, however. On account of the night being unusually dark, Crutcher did not get a good look at the men and can furnish only a vague description. He was returning home from town when he encountered the burglarls. For the last three weeks northern Colorado towns have been troubled by a well organized gang of thieves. Several holdups and house breaks have occurred in this vicinity during the last few days and it is thought that the men trying to enter Crutcher's house are members of this gang. UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PRAISES PE-RU-NA. T. H. Ex-Senator M. C. Butler. Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh of the Stomach—Peruna Relieves Catarrh of the Stomach and Is Therefore a Remedy for Dyspepsia. Hon. M. C. Butler, U. S. Senator from South Carolina for two terms, in a letter from Washington, D. C., writes to the Peruna Medicine Co., as follows: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine, besides a good tonic." CATARRH of the stomach is the correct name for most cases of dyspepsia. Only an internal catarrh remedy, such as Peruna, is available. Peruna Tablets can now be procured. 20 The important points in a loaded shell are reliability, uniformity of loading, evenness of pattern, hard shooting qualities and strength to withstand reloading. All these virtues are found in Winchester "New Rival" loaded black powder shells. Ask for them the next time.

Furniture and bankrupt Stocks THE PRACTICAL NEW WOMAN. She is at Home Anywhere and Can Manage a Farm. Nunn, Colo.—Coming to Nunn two years ago for the benefit of her health, Miss Jennie Pettyjohn, an obscure, though pretty Denver milliner, by reason of her business ability, push and energy, has become the foremost and most influential business woman northern Colorado. This town of 500 inhabitants, which was until a year and a half ago, a wide, barren stretch of prairie, with here and there a rancher's home to break the monotony, owes much to this energetic woman of twenty-eight or thirty years. Largely through her efforts many settlers are reclaiming the desert lands in that vicinity which promise to become one of the most productive in Colorado. When Miss Pettyjohn first determined to live out of doors as much as possible in order to benefit her health, she selected the country near Nunn, seventy-two miles from Denver, on the Union Pacific railway, as being exceptionally desirable because of its few human habitations and because it presented an opportunity for development. Taking up 160 acres of land, more than half of which are now under cultivation, she made her start with the meager savings of several years in the millinery business. Seeing the possibilities of the country she secured options on thousands of acres of land, and has since held those options while the price of land has been soaring to double and treble the price asked when she first went there. The beginning of the new irrigation ditch has meant much to her, as it insures her a sale of the property at an excellent profit before the time limit on the options expire, since the ditch will be completed by May 1, 1908. Wishing to put her land under cultivation as soon as possible she has hired workmen and built many miles of fence to protect her own land and some of that on option from stray cattle, and also to get it in line for improvement as soon as possible Lots in the townsite of Nunn have proved one of the best speculations for her. She bought several at a low price and has since sold them for four times what they cost her. Every time she heard of a person in Denver or elsewhere who wanted land she has interested them in Weld county land, particularly about Nunn, and has almost invariably succeeded in getting them to settle in or near that township. It is estimated that in this way she has secured settlers for 20,000 acres. All this goes to show that the present-day "new woman" is equally at home anywhere. In Denver there are lady barbers, lawyers, doctors, brokers and women engaged in other lines of business. The experience and success of Miss Pettyjohn proves that women as real estate agents, providing they have the right qualifications, can prosper as well, if not better, than men engaged in the same line. Pettlbone May Be Discharged. Boise, Idaho.-A combination of circumstances makes it practically certain that the trial of George A. Pettibone, charged with complicity if the murder of former Governor Steunenberg will not begin October 15th, the date set by Judge Wood. Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense was operated on for the second time for an abscess in his left ear. His appearance in court on the date set for the Pettibone trial is out of the question. There is no improvement in Pettibone's condition, and his attending physician states that in his opinion the man will not be able to stand trial. Aside from these facts it is an open secret that no provision has been made for paying the expense of bringing witnesses to Boise to testify in the case. Counsel for the state will hold a conference with Governor Gooding within the next day or two, and some course of action in the case will be decided on. It is the general belief here that Pettibone will either be admitted to bull or the case against him dismissed altogether. Kept His Word.

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) (Mrs. Frederick McGuire is the wife of the president of the board of directors of the Corcoran art gallery, of Washington, D. C., and is conspicuous in society and art circles of the national capital.) On the top of the Alleghany mountains, in the very heart of the "Old Dominion," lies the most perfect modern reproduction of that real old Arcadia so beloved by the poets. Nor is it such a very modern reproduction, either, because the "happy valley" of which I am speaking has been visited by succeeding generations of devoted pilgrims since the early days of our young republic, and among the many names found on the register of the quaint little hotel there can be seen those of Washington and Jefferson and many others which are also inscribed upon the roll of fame. In this Warm Springs valley of which I am speaking not only does the sunshine seem of a different character, its rays coming to earth softened and veiled by a mist, which, though golden during the day, turns to purple toward evening, but the song of the bird becomes more melodious, the bee hums more drowsily, the streams ripple more musically, the leaves rustle more soothingly; but our fellow beings whom we meet there are of a different order from any whom I have met elsewhere, and are possessed of a quaint and humorous turn of mind and have an originality exclusively their own. Of course it must be explained that I am speaking now only of the colored race. The first time I entered this "happy valley," more than 20 years ago, I said to an old negro, who looked as if he had grown old with the mountains: "Is the train on time this morning?" and he responded: "Oh, no, indeed, honey, dat train ain't on time." Then I asked: "How much is it behind time?" and he said: "Fo' hours." I was appalled, and asked: "Has it ever been as much as four hours late before?" and he answered: "Yes, indeed, honey; one day las' week de train never come at all." But a little circumstance like that did not seem to have the power to overthrow the equipose of that calm community. They also have a phraseology and a vocabulary all their own, but what they say never for a moment leaves any doubt in your mind as to what they mean. I once went into the cabin of a poor woman where death had entered, and, not seeing any means or methods of burial, I asked: "What will be done?" and the woman replied: "Why, Mr. Crizer has always undertook in our family, and always done it well." Old Uncle Billie, who was always regarded as a "last court of appeal" in matters meterological, was once asked what he supposed was the cause of some peculiarly disagreeable weather, and his explanation was: "The heavy respects of the atmosphere make the elements dismal." Which really sounded so exactly as if it had been promulgated by the weather bureau that we almost hoped to secure "Old Billie" a position in the signal service on the strength of it. In the "Cowardin Cap" of the Allephany mountains, at a little settlement bearing the classic name of Shake-Rag, stands a colored church, of what denomination I never have been able to discover, and to be there when there is either a wedding in the church or a baptizing in the Jackson river near by, to see the bucolic travesties upon the prevailing modes, especially in the matter of chignons and pompadours, is a liberal education. A window's mourning, if one happens to be there, is something fearful and wonderful to behold. At a baptizing in the Jackson river on one occasion I saw and heard hundreds of the faithful singing and shouting: "Now eve-ry one of you that thirst, Step down into the water, And free-ly drink and squench that thirst, I think you can and daughter." Like Zion's son and daughter. At a recent wedding in the church at Shake-Rag the preacher, who seemed to have heard rumors of the matrimonial snares and pitfalls of the outer world, made a charge to the contracting parties—a laudress and a waiter from the Warm Springs hotel—and concluded by saying: "And may you live together forever in unavoidable infidelity and may you never suppurate." It is amusing, also, to see what rare combinations of Christian humanity and worldly pride one frequently encounters in that peaceful valley. I once attempted to adjust a difficulty which had arisen between two old female colored autocrats living in that mountain gap, and finally one of them said to me: "The trouble is in this here Gap that these niggers will speak mistruths which ain't outright, and make it hard for Sister Jane." "Oh," said I. "If you are Jane's sis- ter, I can soon settle the whole difficulty." She placed her arms akimbo, cast a baleful and rebuking eye upon me, and replied: "Sister in de Lord, honey, and de First Baptist church, colored." She flouted the idea of their being of the same family or blood. At the sweet little old Warm Springs hotel near by, presided over by two sisters, high-born, high-bred Carolina gentlewomen, one meets all the true aristocracy of the southern states, and there the rude world never seems to enter, there being nothing to attract the flashy element. On the contrary, a high-bred distinction seems to characterize the place, and it is neither impressed by the presence or depressed by the absence of the "smart set." A woman at the north once wrote to a friend at the Warm Springs that she was not able to join her there, and gave as one reason that she had not been able to provide a summer wardrobe that season. The friend at the Warm Springs responded, saying: "Here one needs no new wardrobe nor any large bank account, but one does require a 'family tree,' so if you have ancestors, bring them, as here every one is the granddaughter of a dead president, or, at least, of Patrick Henry." The wonderful thermal baths here are presided over by two most typical and interesting colored people, and these hot pools are 50 feet in diameter and the water has a temperature of 98 degrees. Jackson, who has been at the men's bathhouses for these many years, is a great authority upon gout and rheumatism, a great believer in the occult and the unseen, in omens, and conjuring, and is regarded with deep respect by his own kind as a reliable and dependable interpreter of dreams. Fanny Shepard, whose term of service at the women's bathhouse has been as long as Jackson's, is as picturesque and interesting a character as is he. She was indignant because the hotel official who "personally conducted" President McKinley to see "her pool," had not only not officially presented her to him, but had not even told her who he was. She complained to me that "when he come from the men's pool that I seen Jackson a-bowin' and a-congeerin' to him," but that had not enlightened her. She said further: "The president would have been interested in me if any one had told him that I have a son who is a missionary in Africa, and who is a fellow of the Royal Geographical society, of London, and who had dined with Queen Victoria at her own table at Windsor castle." All of which I knew to be true, because I knew this son, William Shepard, and during my early years at the Warm Springs he was one of the waiters in the dining-room and at the same time a Baptist preacher, but he felt called upon to go into the missionary field and he went to Africa. There it was soon manifest that he could exercise great influence over some of the most savage of the African tribes. He is one of those who has penetrated the farthest into some of these African wildernesses. He was invited to London by the Royal Geographical society, which made him one of its members, and he was invited by Queen Victoria, and did dine with her at her own table in Windsor castle. The whole of my account of this part of the world, however, must not be accorded to human nature alone. The grand and beautiful scenery must be spoken of to those who have not had the good fortune to see for themselves. Nothing in nature can be as beautiful as to see the spring come up in the Warm Springs valley. The whole face of the level country is white with the bloom of the locust and the dogwood and of the fruit blossoms, especially the apple, for which that region of the country is celebrated. Then there is a native thorn, which when in full bloom, looks as if snow had fallen upon it, and in passing any cottage or farmhouse the atmosphere is heavy with the fragrance of lilacs and lilies of the valley, while the fields are heavenly blue with myriads of waving Roman hyacinths. No pen can adequately describe the mountain sides at this season. They are literally ablaze with laurel, rhododendron and the wild mountain azalea in pink, orange and pale yellow. In all seasons of the year nature is at her best here but the beauty, charm and enchantment of the spring are beyond anything I have seen in the world elsewhere. Upon a clear, exquisite day these lines insensibly glide into the mind: "Blue isles of heaven laugh between Alder and tree dethusn the topmost elm trees gather green From draughts of balmy air." The Child's Skin. The chief peculiarity about the treatment of skin disease in children is that the reaction to the remedies applied is more prompt than in adults, says a writer in the London Hospital. Moreover, since the risk of absorption is by no means inconsiderable, ointments and lotions containing powerful poisons, such as carbolic acid or mercury, should not be employed, unless well diluted, over large surfaces of the body. Certain cutaneous lesions also are transient, so that one is left with their results, notably the scratchmark and the scab. The history of the mode of onset of an eruption, as given by an intelligent mother or nurse, is, therefore, of greater value than the statement of the patient himself, who might even be unawre of the existence of anything wrong with his skin.

An outside observer may not be able to judge clearly on this point and a citizen of either state may be subject to bias. Neither of these states is the worst state in the Union for Negroes to live in. In the final analysis it is a question of where the white people are the meanest. It it were not for this yital consideration, we would think Texas a favorable state for Negroes; but with it, we believe that Mis- souri affords better advantages to a large Negro population, for which it provides good schools and a fair opportunity to labor and earn a liv- ing, But there is more freedom to a square acre for Negroes in Kansas than there is to a square mile for Negroés in either Texas or Missouri. ‘The material condition of a class of people is not reflected by its domina- tion in publie affairs so much as by the freedom and uniform success of individuals: There are no domincered or terrorized communities in Kansas. There are some in Texas and some in Missouri, ‘There are some fine farms and some fine business plants owned by Negroes in Kansas, but this also may be true of Texas and Missouri. And that brings us around again to the question of the comparative meanness of the white denizen. Speak up, Kansans! Tow about it? NEGRO COLONIES. THE DENVER REPUBLICAN takes a most peculiar position respecting the establishment of Negro colonies in Southern California, ‘a project recently proposed, and incidentally, of Negro colonies in any other part of the United States. It says: “Certain men are promoting a scheme to establish a Negro colony in the southern part of California, the settlers to be drawn from other parts of the United States. “The project is declared not to be communistie at all. On the con- trary, it is simply a plan to establish a Negro community, such as white colonists established in this state in the early period of its history. “Not much is to be expected from a venture of this kind. Cali- fornia offers no attractions to Negroes beyond those to be found in the Southern states, and the colonists would gain nothing over what they can obtain now by buying land in any other part of the country where climatic conditions are suited to their physical needs. “Tf the project is to build up a distinetly Negro community, the wiser course would seem to be to select some countfy where the colonists could entertain a reasonable hope of becoming dominant. This might be done in Hayti, but far better in Liberia or some other part of Africa. “In California the colonists would encounter the same obstacles growing out of race distinction which they encounter not only in the South, but all through the North. They ean never hope to dominate in the affairs of even a single county in California, and hence the moyement offers no greater attraction than the exodus to Kansas whieh occurred a few years after the close of the Civil War. “Everybody knows that the condition of the Negroes in Kansas is no better than it is in Texas or Missouri, and the same will be true of California in case the colony project is carried into effect.’” This, in short, is a declaration that the Negro should either re- main in the South or leaye the country entirely. It implies that the Negro’s opportunities as a citizen of the United States are not to be considered in the same light as are those of other classes of citizens. This is a surprising expression on the part of the The Republican, though not new to newspapers of a different political faith and of a more southern location. Many earnest and philosophical white men de- clare that the Negro is in this country to stay and, regardless of the question of the wisdom of emigration, the Negro knows little or nothing of other countries and entertains very little thought of adopting another home, During the year of 1896, only about fifty Negroes went from the United States to Liberia. In spite of race distinctions, Negroes feel themselves to be citizens of the United States, and they hope, and seem to have faith that their material improvement here will tend to wear away race distinctions, We do not say that their faith is well placed, but we do say that they have the right to a full and unrestricted trial of it. A Negro colony in California, Oregon, Colorado or Alaska is just as reasonable as any other racial colony. Its object would be to take advantage of climatic, agricultural or mineral opportunities and im- proved, if not ideal civil conditions. The ‘‘hope of becoming dominant’’ is not a necessary consideration and the thought of it occupies small space in the minds of a Negro colonist, To be a plain, free, untram- meled citizen, privileged to exercise’the rights of such, under the law, and to enjoy the blessings.of Ba edrentes, civilization, is an ambition which should not subject the Negro to either the fright of his neighbors or the wild bugbears of pessimistic philosophers, Successiul Marriage Ouly Possible Between Afiinities By H.-SPENCER LEWIS, President of the New York Ins'!tute for Psychical Research. ORE and more we hear of “affinities,” “soul-mates” and other M terms applied to cases wherein true love has never existed and never could exist. The true meanings of these terms are dis- torted to fit unusual circumstances, and very few really understand what these spiritual terms mean. It is true that if all marriages were based upon true affinities there would be more happiness in marriage. The trouble at present is not with the divorce laws, but with the marriage laws. Were the marriage laws proper there would be little need for divorce Nawrnintenw sitive Affiniites are two souls, two spiritual beings, each having a like nature, like abilities, and possessing the same quality of love. They are one whole, separated at birth and incomplete until joined again in mar- riage. No discord, no opposite thinking or feeling must exist between them. An affinity must be the “other half—the spiritual complement” of our souls. Perfect health is necessary for an affinity. ‘True love is also necces- sary. If these do not exist there can be no affinity. ‘The mind must be pure, the thoughts must be spiritual, above material planes, and must come from a mind that is wholly devoted to love and sacred faithful- ness. There can be no successful marriage unless the principals are af- finities to some degree. ‘The greatest crime of the world at present is the lax marriage laws. The greatest obstacle to the world’s progress is the easy manner in which two people may marry, live together and bring into this world such children as will in the future weaken the nations. ‘Trial marriages will not bring about the desirable results; they mere- ly settle the physical questions of marriage, leaving the spiritual, the sacred questions unsolved. The only rational method is that of forcing a certain length of courtship, of acquaintance, between the man and woman. ‘The man who marries rarely counts the cost— in any sense of the word ! Wives even at best are expensive articles, and two people or more can- not live as cheaply as one, There are a thou- sand incidental expenses RPE I. cited octet man never troubles about. ‘Those are aptly termed in French les faux frais. It is a sad fact that many of the tragedies of married life are at- tributable to money troubles. ‘The woman who has no money of her own and no means of earning any is indeed a slave, However kind her lord may be, there are many little trifles which a woman needs for her own particular happiness and for his, if he only knew it. Pin-money is an elastic term. A box of powder, a bottle of perfume, a ribbon, or a pair of gloves often go down in the housekeeping book as turpentine and bees- wax, laundry or such-like items which a man is powerless to observe or disintegrate. Little deceptions grows apace, and a trifling cause will some- times culminate in a disastrous effect, Therefore it is best to sail straight from the first. Men are afraid of granting us new privileges, and now we wives claim—oh, powers that be!—nothing more nor less than a salary! And if not, why not? Where is the housekeeper who would undertake the arduous duties that fall to a wife’s portion on “nothing a year, paid quarterly?” A man falls in love with some lovely hothouse plant of a girl who has hitherto lived in an enchanted atmosphere of adoration. He takes it for granted—Heaven knows why—that she can cook and keep a house. He is going to keep her—probably for better, possibly for worse— and how grateful she has cause to be! The post of housekeeper is terminable at a month’s notice, but the ill- treated wife has no redress. ‘Therefore she should, whilst expecting a reasonable increase, have a permanent salary secured on the earnings or income. Women slave from June until January with never a spot of blue in their sky. If they need clothes to cover themselves they must beg for weeks, smarting under the humiliation of being denied their dues! ‘The men who do this are not necessarily bad husbands; they are sometimes thoughtless, sometimes thrifty. ‘They do not even realize the cost of keep- ing a wife. It is always the same gtory; the woman’s soul ground down, degraded, and when the fervid spirit makes a dash for deliverance the laws men make for men rise up like an impassable barrier between the woman and her heart’s desire. But if we adjust the finance more equally the salaried wife assumes the position of the wife who has a “dot.” She can hand back the money, and throw all the mechanism of domestic machinery into confusion; she becomes a power and takes her proper place in the family, not on suffrance, but as an equal. ‘To be kept clothed, fed and housed, pour l'amour de Dieu, and work like any servant, is no longer good enough for the daugh- ters of our century; they can claim to be something better than a drudge ora pretty golden toy. ‘They are women who have learned the secret work- ing of the world’s harmonies, companionable, trusty, and loyal comrades ; they have learned to look beyond their own vanity into the hearts of men, and they can read the struggle between the longing for high ideals and the craving for the earth Life that is so infinitely pathetic and makes good women go merciful to their brothers, lovers and husbands! | The theater is a tre- mendous engine in our civilization. The extent to which it enters into the livea of the people is shown by the crowds at the play- houses—there must be not far from 250,000 persons in the New York theaters every evening.

NE EO PED ne ee te SN Lee ee ere Colorado conference was reviewed atthe Annual conference which ended in Denver Sept. 22nd °07, and my work seemed to be satisfac- tory to the Bishop and brethren; for after a strong endorsement by vote of conference the Bishop re- appointed me to same position as last year, I hud determined to visit the above points, so on the 28th of Sept. Larrived in Alamosa. It is a prosperous bustling town in the center of the coming San Luis valley. A number of good citi- zens of our race have started in to build their fortunes with the growth of the city. I might men- tion Mrs, Luvinia Smith, she is the oldest cstizen there; as a wid- ow she reared an intelligent family. Mrs. Jas. Clay of Boulder being one daughter and the other lives in Ohicago, Her husband having been an old soldier the Govern. ment sees after her every three months, she has a. comfortable home and other interests there. But perhaps the most striking evi- dence of thrift which has brought success in the short space of three years is Mack Wright, he started just as our ordinary young men must start, without a home. Now he has a four acre tract all fenced about three.quarters of a mile from town, a comfortable house, and hogs, cows, chicken, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, pigeons and horse and wagon and all good stock. and the beauty is its all paid for. I think many of our young married men would do well to go and do likewise. We have in this town also a widow who does not look old, she is well spoken of by both white and colored, Mrs. Maggie Perkins, She reared two sons Clar- ence and Tom with such correct- ness and care that they are called “Model boys” far and wide. Now they earn good wages, have bought a nice brick house and take care of their mother who is honsekeeper for them. Messrs William Strib. ling of Pueblo, Andrew Riley of Denver and Frank Curtis of Colo- rado Springs and their wives are making good, in fact all of our people I had the pleasure of meeting are a credit to us. so much so the mayor, Hon. Hen- ry Mallen is calling for three more good colored men. He will employ them at fair wages and will help them as he does those already in his employe. One excellent trait in allour people here they are ready to take hold and help get a church where our people can meet, They are united on that proposi- tion and the leading real estate man, F, W. Swanson will endeavor to secure us a church lot, We or- ganized with 10 persons and they now start out for business. I preached two sermons for them. WALSENBERG. On Saturday October 5, I came to Walsenburg, and found here a prosperous set of people who never tires sounding the praises of the town. Some of these I pastored in Pueblo 7 years ago. Sister Ware is still holding onto the church, as is also her two daugh- tera; MepaWWillifiand Mee Gooden Imet also, Brothers York and Dance and all are eager to have an African Methodist church. We organized with ten persons in church after preaching Sunday and Monday nights, Our people here seem to be basy at work and prosperous. I met here the most striking example of persistence in business and success therein that [have seen in Colorado. Mr. A. J. Steele, a liveryman and about the leading one of, four others, came to the town 24 years ago from Tennessee, He is by all odds the most prosperous colored man in Southern Colorado.

What is the most terrible death in the world? The following are a few of the most terrible known to mortal man, but as to which of those given is the worst it would probably be hard to say. b One of the most agonizing deaths known {s caused by a small black spider half the size of a pea. It lives in Peru and South Australia, but a few specimens have reached Europe and America in ship loads of Inmber. Not long ago a dock laborer while un- loading a vessel in the Victoria docks felt one upon his hand, This death- dealer dug its fangs deep into the man’s flesh, and as soon as the poison began to work he fainted with pain. He was dead in three days. ‘This Spider's venom scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the Ussues, causing the most fearful ag- ony a human being can have to bear. The worst of it is that the victim lives at least two days, The spider is generally known as the “specky.” When a man who knows what the bite means becomes the victim he generally blows out his brains. Another fearful death is caused by eating a grain called “bhat.” This sometimes gets mixed with rice, which it resembles. The plant grows In the far east, and a few grains of it will drive a person into a state of violent mania. The victim becomes drowsy at first and afterwards hilarious; then he goes raving mad, tears himself to pieces with his fingers and bites mouthfuls out of his flesh. This grain ls found only in the remotest parts of the east, but both white men and natives are’ killed by It occasionally, for the plant grows in with the rice crops, and there 1s no way of telling them apart, except when the grain 1s dried it comes out in a sort of brick- red color. ‘There 1s a South American plant, or vine, called the “knotter,” which fas- tens about any living thing that comes within reach, twining its long tentacles about a man as a devilish might. These tentacles sear and burn Into the flesh lke white-hot wires, and the victim is dragged into the heart of the foliage, and his life slowly drained as the spider sucks the blood of the fly. Those who have strong Instincts of cruelty, sometimes force a dog or other animal into the grip of the “knotter” to watch the ‘effects, which are too horrible to de Werlbe in’ detail, Child Misunderstood. When Lord Elphiston was in Amer- Iea a couple of years ago he was en- tertained at dinner by a family the head of which was to accompany his lordship on his hunting trip through the wilds of the northwest. A child of about five years, named Ethel, dur- ing the dinner was big-eyed and big- eared with wonderment—in fact, com- pletely overawed by the presence of the distinguished foreigner. Ethel heard her mother and father now and then say, “My lord this, and my Joré that,” or “Will you have some of this, my lord, or some of that?” the dinner being a purely informal one. Finally, when the mother was interested in the conversation of another guest, Ethel noticed that milord was gazing inter- estedly at a dish of relish quite out of his reach. The child thought she saw a chance to please Lord Fiphiston, and in a firm, clear voice, exclaimed: “Mama, God wants some pickles.”— San Francisco Argonaut. New York’s Highest Building. “How high is it?” This question at once directs thought to the Singer building, in lower Broadway. . The question 1s asked by thousands of per- sons crossing from the Jersey shore. It was asked the other day of a tall, scholarly-looking man standing on the upper dick of one of the Pennsylvania ferryboats. “I do not know its exact height,” sald the man addressed, “but this I give as an opinion, that during ‘a heavy thunder shower the height of that bullding would make it entirely possible for the sun to shine on the root whiie the lower stories are being deluged by rain. The heavily laden rain clouds are only about 500 feet above the earth, while the lantern of the new Singer building will be ak most 600 feet high. The building wil? tower high above the fog banks, I venture to say, thus affording New Yorkers one of the features of Switz- erland right at thelr own doors.”"—N. Y. Tribune. tsar Meare Was 7 So In a recently published work a nat- aralist gives some interesting facts concerning the playtime of animals. The bear {s supposed by many to be rather solemn animal, but he is given to pranks at times, and even indulges in antics that closely re- semble games played by children. The naturalist observed three cubs repeatedly playing a game very much Uke tag. A cub would chase the oth- ers, until he cuffed one with his paw; then the one hit took up the chase. It may be that the writer's imagina- tion put more system into the play than actually was there. However, bears in zoological gardens have been known to turn somersaults, and they take to dancing so readily that it is easy to train them to take certala steps.

ON300TH ANNIVERSARY PROBABLY GREATEST AMOUNT EVER RAISED AT ONE TIME FOR CHURCH WORK. Richmond, Va.—One of the largest collections ever taken up was gathered in at the men's thank offering service in Holy Trinity (Episcopal) church at 8 o'clock this morning, when a great corporate communion of the men attending the convention was held. The offerings total up, it is said on good authority, to nearly $1,000,000, and huge basins of gold were necessary to hold the bunches of bank notes, bags of gold, tied, many of them, in the Ameri can colors or in streaming purple ribbons. The collection was taken in utter silence, therefore being more impressive. Thirty detectives and policemen were scattered through the church to guard the treasure. Seventy-seven doces contributed. The offertory thanksgiving song after this largest single offering in the history of Christendom was a mighty shout of triumph. The occasion of the offering is the 300th anniversary of the American church, and it was decided that the churchmen of America should thus express their thanksgiving for three centuries of primitive Christianity on this continent. J. P. Morgan of New York and George C. Thomas of Philadelphia each gave $100,000 through their dioceses, and there were other gifts ranging down from $50,000 to $1,000, but the primal aim of the committee has been as far as possible in the time allotted to secure a contribution from every man and boy in the church as far as he was able to contribute. The demand has been for men first and for money secondarily. At Holy Trinity church, where the general convention opened a service, a holy communion was held. Why Stocks Are Low. London—Lord Rothschild says that stocks are low now because governments the world over are hitting at capital. Asked if he attributed the condition of the money market to a boom in trade which leaves no cash for investment, Lord Rothschild said: "No, I cannot agree to that idea. We have, for instance, the prospect of old age pensions on a free and discriminate basis which involves, let us say, an expenditure of $20,000,000 a year." To the suggestion that the business depression is not particularly British, but international, he said: "Of course, Mr. Roosevelt's speeches against the conduct of American railroads are greatly disturbing that market. We must all admit that the manipulation of railroad stock in the United States has not always been quite what it should have been, but this does not detract from the serious character of the President's campaign. It is difficult—almost impossible, as things stand—for us to furnish from this country fresh capital for railroad development across the water." "Ah, it is the truest wisdom never to prophesy. I am told investors in New York are hoarding their money until they see how events turn, that they may display greater confidence as the spring comes; but, after all, none of us is in a position to indulge in forecasts." Gold Mine Under East River New York.—Men in the employ of the department of bridges, who have been making a series of borings along the river front, it is announced today, have discovered a vein of gold-bearing quartz under the East river, in the neighborhood of the Brooklyn bridge. The ore extracted amounted to two pounds and the gold it contained, it is stated, was estimated to be worth $40. On this basis the vein would run $24,000 a ton. The find belongs to the city, and further investigation will be made to determine whether or not the find is as valuable as it is said to appear. In digging under New York and its adjacent waters there have been several finds of rich ore, but they have been in small pockets and of no great value. Church Asks For Hanging. Trenton, N. J.—A delegation of church members, headed by the Rev. C. S. Woodruff of Flemington, has visited Governor Stokes to protest against further executive interference in the hanging of John E. Schuyler, convicted of murder in Hunterdon county, where the delegation came from. Such an action is unprecedented in the history of the state Schuyler has been reprieved three times. A number of other Hunterdon people do not want their county smirched with what may be the last hanging in the state. Schuyler is one of two men likely to be hanged for murder. All other capital punishment must be inflicted by electrocution at the state prison, this city, according to the new law. Buries Dog in a Casket Denver.—A swell funeral for a dog—mahogany coffin, silver trimmings and silver engraved plate. That's what Miss Fell, a city employee, gave her poole. The last hours of the dog were made happy with chloroform after all of the veterinaries of the town had given up all hope of curing the malady 'from which he suffered. WIRELESS GOES 12,000 MILES.

The message received was that the American cruiser Philadelphia has arrived there. The Marconi people account for the occurrence by the theory that the cone at Manila must have been in perfect tune with that at Morien. The message from Manila was "picked up" while being sent to some other station on the Pacific or to a war vessel. The message was recorded at the time by an operator in the receiving room at the Marconi station. At the time the experts were experimenting in an effort to receive messages from Ireland. They received several messages from the Irish station and were in the act of making further tests when the instruments recorded the arrival of the Philadelphia at Manila. The Marconi people say that no mistake was made and that the message was undoubtedly sent by the Manila station, which is about 12,000 miles distant, and that as a result experiments with the stations in the East will shortly be attempted. Port Morien, where the Marconi station is located, is the most easterly town in Cape Breton. It is twenty-five miles east of Sydney. Stole $400,000 Church Valuables. Parls.—A great sensation has been caused by the remarkable confession of Antoine Thomas of Clermont-Ferrand, who was arrested with his mother and brother, charged with complicity in the theft of the famous cope of Orth, which belonged to the state and was valued at $120,000, from the church of Ambazac, near Limoges. For months precious relics have been disappearing from churches, creating the presumption that a gang of thieves was systematically at work. Thomas, who gave himself up to clear his mother and brother, declares that after the passage of the church and state separation law and the taking of the church inventories began, antiquaries of Paris, some of whom are millionaires, hired by him and others to go through the country and bribe the Parish priests to surrender the relics and substitute counterfeits which could later be turned over to the state. He says this plan of operation continued for months, but as many of the most valuable church treasures could not be counterfeited he finally went boldly in the business of wholesale burglary. Thomas estimated the amount of his robberies at $400,000. Elegant Home for Woodmen Assured. Colorado Springs, Colo.-The $100,000 National home of the Modern Woodmen of America is almost assured for Colorado Springs. At a reception tendered to Head Consul A. R. Talbot of Lincoln, Nebraska, other officers of the order here, and all officers expressed themselves in favor of this city. The reception was tendered by the chamber of commerce, Merchants' Association, real estate exchange and the city and county officers. The business interests of Colorado Springs will donate a site and perpetual water rights to the Modern Woodmen. Options have been secured on three different sites near this city. The Modern Woodmen of America number 900,000, and the original cost of the home will be raised by a subscription of about ten cechs per member. The head officers held a conference with the local home committee to discuss the matter. Although the officers have full power to construct the home, they will submit the matter for ratification at the triennial convention of the Woodmen in Peoria, Illinois, next June. Wilson Held for Murder of Davis. Greeley, Colo.—Coroner Macy conducted an inquest at Johnstown into the death of W. H. Davis, shot and killed there a week ago Sunday by Hiram T. Wilson. The jury found a verdict of felonious killing at the hands of Wilson. It is alleged that Murray brothers, who saw the shooting, will be held as accomplices. They, as well as Wilson, are now in the county jail. The testimony of John Davis, father of the dead man, was to the effect that Wilson and the two Murray brothers had just returned from Mead and had just stepped out of the buggy when they met Davis. According to the old man's testimony one of the Murray boys said to Wilson: "Now is your chance. Get him now." Upon this, Davis says, Wilson commenced firing. Davis fell at the first shot, which was fired into his abdomen. Two other shots were fired, one taking effect in the hip and the other in the head. It is upon the testimony of the old gentleman that the two Murray brothers will be held accomplices, although they were spoken of throughout the inquest as "unknown." Union Pacific Profits Enormous.

The affable Captain Dugge of the Hamburg American liner Prince Oscar was commiserating with a seasick passenger. "Seasickness, sir," said the captain, "is a very nasty thing. Some people's sufferings, though, are far more atrocious than yours. I once carried a Philadelphian who suffered dreadfully. "At the height of his seasickness the poor Philadelphian beckoned his wife to his bedside and said in a weak voice. "Jenny, my will is in the Commercial Trust Company's care. Everything is left to you, dear. My various stocks you will find in my safe deposit box." "The man paused and sighed. Then he said, fervently: "And, Jenny, bury me on the other side. I can't stand this trip again, alive or dead." —New York Press.

Captain Sealby of the Cretic was talking about the nautical ignorance of the average tourist. "I once overheard a tourist," he said, "ask her husband where their daughter was." "In the blunt end of the ship," the husband answered. "Still worse, though," Captain Sealby continued, "was the nautical ignorance of a couple of landsmen who went sailing. "These greenhorns had for anchor a lot of stones tied up in a burlap bag. "When lunch time came the skipper called to his mate: "Cast anchor!" "The other heaved the anchor overboard, but in the act the burlap slit and the stones sank to the bottom while the bag floated. "Skipper," said the man, after watching the bag a little while, "the anchor won't sink. What's to be done?" " 'Here,' said the skipper, capably, 'take this pole and shove her down.'

A petition signed by Postmaster Walpole and officers of the Pueblo Business Men's Association was forwarded to Washington requesting that railway mail service be established on Santa Fe trains No. 601 and 602 between Denver and La Junta. Peter Sprohesa, a rancher, and for twenty-five years a resident of Las Animas county, died at his home near Johns lake, east of Trinidad. Deceased was seventy years old and a native of England. He is survived by his widow and three sons. Robert H. Gore, city editor of the Chronicle-News of Trinidad, and Miss Lorena Haury of Owensboro, Kentucky, were married in the chapel of the Catholic church by the Rev. Father Brunner.

The first arrest under the new Boulder liquor ordinance prohibiting the giving away of liquor at a place of business or in any street or alley was made when H. C.

Old timers are predicting an unusually early and hard winter owing to the fact that so many porcupines are seeking civilization.

The Portland Gold Mining Company, it is expected, will declare a four-cent dividend at the regular quarterly meeting to be held Saturday. The amount will be $120,000, payable October 15th to stockholders of record October 9th. Officials of the company are reticent about divulging their plans, but from outside sources it was learned that they contemplate making the dividend four cents. The disbursement will be one of the largest of the year in mining circles. At a depth of ninety feet a blanket vein of coal six feet six inches in thickness was struck at the Brilliant coal mine near Canon City. The outcropping, half a mile from the shaft, showed another vein twenty feet below the present discovery, five feet and a half in thickness. The Brilliant Coal Company will sink a three-compartment shaft eight by sixteen feet and will operate the mine extensively. The company owns 160 acres of coal land ten miles southwest of here. One hundred sacks of rich ore from the new strike on the Royal Flush group, being operated by the Hahn's Peak Gold Mining Company, is now on the way to the Argo smelter in Denver. It will mil not less than $500 per ton and will do much toward establishing the status of Hahn's peak as a shipping camp. With 2,000 tons on the dump of this one property some idea can be gained of the traffic that will immediately spring up when the Moffat railroad gets as close as Steamboat Springs. Dr. Amos Bourquin of Denver, who owns valuable grazing and agricultural land and water rights in Webster park and Copper gulch canon, which he acquired from the Canon Cattle Company, a few months ago, has secured from the District Court an injunction against Antone Adamic preventing Adamic from developing a water right from the underflow of Copper gulch and conducting the water across Bourquin's land to a 160-acre tract on which Adamic proposed locating an Austrian settlement. Bourquin alleged that the natural and underflow water of Copper gulch had previously been decreed to the Canon Cattle Company. The body of Joseph Foutz was found near his home in Oro. A bullet hole in his head and a revolver clutched in his hand told the manner of death. Decomposition had set in, and it is believed that the man killed himself over a week ago. Foutz was sixty years old, and had lived alone in a cabin at Oro for many years, where he was engaged in prospecting and leasing. Several years ago a brother of Foutz killed himself, and the old man since has been alone in the world. He left no message explaining the reason for killing himself, but people who have known Foutz for many years say that he had been growing eccentric. SAID TO BE SIMPLE EASILY MIXED RECIPE FOR KID- NEYS AND BLADDER. Get from any prescription pharmacist the following: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. The above is considered by an eminent authority, who writes in a New York daily paper, as the finest prescription ever written to relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheumatism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest injury to the stomach or other organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It certainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent authority, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it. HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD. Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not Forgotten Old Days. The coming of age of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and the payment to her of some twelve millions of dollars inheritance has brought out a new crop of anecdotes about the Vanderbilt fortune. One of the latest illustrates the democratic spirit of the old commodore. Sitting on the porch of a fashionable hotel at a fashionable resort on one occasion, it is related, the commodore saw a lady approaching with whom he was acquainted. His wife and daughter, who recognized her, could scarcely contain their anger when he arose and politely addressed her. "Don't you know," said the daughter after she had gone, "that horrid woman used to sell poultry to us?" "Yes," responded the old millionaire, "and I remember when your mother sold root beer and I peddled oysters in New Jersey." ON A MACKEREL SCHOONER. Daily Routine in the Life of the Gloucester Fishermen. The routine life on a mackerel schooner is not strenuous. The crew consists of 14 men, a skipper and cook. Two men constitute a watch, one aloft as a lookout, the other at the wheel, so that each man has two hours on duty, and then 12 hours off, before his turn comes around again. During this period he may be called on to shorten sail, wash the deck or to perform other work. Half of the crew have their bunks forward with the cook, who is king of the forecastle, and the rest sleep aft with the captain. We were assigned to a double bunk aft, where we were not troubled with galley smells, but had to be on our good behavior. All the rolics and revels were forward. The crew ate in two shifts, the older men with the skipper.—Travel Magazine. A Ventilation Test. It is very hard to make an impression on those people who defend their possessions on all occasions. A lady was explaining to a visitor the many advantages of concrete hollow-block construction, of which the walls of her new home were built. "The air spaces in the walls afford insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter," she explained. "Besides, such walls afford ventilation and insure a more healthful house." The visitor reflected a moment, and replied: "Our frame house must be quite as well built. Every night we lock the cat in the cellar, and have to let her out of the attic in the morning."—Youth's Companion. TRANSFORMATIONS Curious Results When Coffee Drinking Is Abandoned. It is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum without any feeling of a loss of the morning beverage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it is like the flavor of fine, mild Java. A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves—caffeine—has been discontinued, and in its place is taken a liquid food that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from coffee to Postum. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu-tation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, having M. run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural, and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. SURELY HAD PRIZE FLY.

I hope our experiences won't too closely resemble that of my old friend Horatio Rogers. Rash Rogers lived in the suburbs. On the suburban train one morning he said to me with a sour laugh: "I've got something nobody else has got, Mr. Bigelow." "'Have you, Rash?' said I. 'What is it?' "'Well,' said Rogers, 'I bought a $50 incubator last month, put $15 worth of eggs in it, and hatched out a blubottle fly.'" "He frowned, then sighed. 'Yes,' he said, 'I've got the only $65 bluebottle fly in the world.'" SLEEP BROKEN BY ITCHING. "For a year I have had what they call eczema. I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. I tried all kinds of remedies, but could get no relief. "I used one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura, and two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, which cost me a dollar and twenty-five cents in all, and am very glad I tried them, for I was completely cured.

Photography has caught the fastest express train in motion by means of the cinematograph, and it also shows the growth of a flower. A bud which bursts into bloom in, say, 16 days, is exposed to a camera every 15 minutes during the 16 days, and when the pictures developed from the films are assembled in order in the moving picture machine, the observer may see, to his delight, all in a minute or two, the gradual breaking of the bud—the blossoms open, close by night and reopen in the morning, the leaves grow under the eye, the stamens peep from cover, and, finally, the full-blow flower.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES, BACKHAIR 1875 "Guarantee" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Catch of Japanese Fishermen. Consul G. H.

When the first little granddaughter was big enough to want to pick the garden flowers, the grandparents tried every gulleful means to save their pet posies from devastation. A truce was reached when it was agreed that Harriet should let the garden plants alone and pick only "children's flowers," a descriptive name bestowed at once alike on dandelions, buttercups, daisies and clovers. After this there was peace in the family. One day Katherine, the newest granddaughter, was contentedly pulling grasses while grandmother snipped off blossoms from the forget-me-nots. Katherine remembered that fresh flowers had not been gathered for the dinner table. She ran over to grandmother and promptly coined one of the longest words a four-year-old ever used. "Grandmother," she begged, "can't I pick the underchildrenable flowers for dinner?" Conceit. "There goes the big-feelin'est man in town!" pessimistically said a citizen of Pettyville, indicating with a contemptuous jerk of his thumb a pompous-appearing personage who was passing. "He thinks so darned much of himself that he won't loaf in a grocery store like ordinary folks—if he can't loaf in the bank he won't loaf at all. And, as far as I can see, he ain't so all-fired better than some of the of us, neither!"—Puck. How's This?

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- AUTUMN GOWNS No woman really likes to realize that the ever useful bolero 'is going out of fashion—for a time at least! This little garment is so essentially practical and so generally becoming that we have come to regard it as an old and tried friend, without which life would seem hardly possible; and yet it is very certain that the bolero is fast disappearing from the arena of fashion. The rage for three-quarter coats—of varied styles—continues unabated, and this autumn and winter we shall see voluminous mantles adopted freely. Everything denotes that loose outer garments, made of the most pliable materials, will be the leading novelties of the coming season. The general effect is almost bizarre and this effect* will be heightened when we come to wear wraps of crepe de chine, velvet and furs—mixed. Nevertheless, fragile materials will most surely form the chief portion of our autumn and winter wraps. All the coats for the autumn and early winter—are made with open fronts. For this reason waistcoats are, and will continue to be, things of immense importance. I have seen quite a number of the dainty little waistcoats of Irlande, small double-breasted, gilets which open in a V over a frilled shirt front and which are fastened with the most exquisite buttons of enamel, old paste, quartz set in gumetal, and so on. There is a wonderful cachet attached to these semiloose coats and dainty waistcoats. They recall the "sporting" type of garment, but at the same time they are eminently feminine and picturesque. I am certain that nearly all the best of our early winter walking dresses will show coats of the order just described and, in nine cases out of ten, these coats will show long tight sleeves which will reach quite to the wrist. There can be no doubt about the coming revival of long sleeves—for the tailor-made costumes at least. For afternoon wear we shall still have elbow sleeves and even those which do not reach the elbow, but the long sleeve for street wear is about to reclaim its lost position. Combinations of color are to be great features of the coming season, and will afford opportunities for many triumphs, and, alas, also for many failures. One revival is the toco which two seasons ago was known as automobile, and may most easily be compared to rusty iron, and this is used with much effect in union with dark smoke-grey. Smoke-grey altogether would seem to have irresistible charms, and it lends itself with special grace to decorations of purple, plum, and deep red and peacock blue, all of which colors compete most successfully for favor of a dull, rather than a bright, inclination. Grey has the privilege of clothing the seated damsel shown in our large illustration. It is of volle, with bands of graduated taffetta reaching just below the knees; oxidized silver and gold embroidery decorate the front of the bloued bodice, while filet net forms the undersleeves and the yoke, and the hat is of dark grey chip, trimmed with dark grey roses and two dark feathers. Grey flowers are much in vogue, and usually these will be found made of velvet, roses and big arum illies being the most favored blossoms for exploitation under such circumstances The other dress illustrated is of plum color, the skirt of very thin cloth traced with a silken embroidery to match, while the coat is, made of taffeta, also of the same color. The vest is of ecru lace, and a novelty is the quaint sleeve set in deep tucks. The hat of purple straw is trimmed with a bristling bunch of feathers, blue, green and purple, and the style may be commended to those who are brave enough to consider seriously an immediate desire for autumn clothes. As to the controversy which is once again raging round the "stays" or "no stays" question, I would question whether tight lacing has any effect whatever, in improving the figure; as Venetian Cloth Costume with White Cloth Revers—Bliouse of Lace. a matter of fact, the less the figure is coerced the better it looks. "Madam is inclined to be stout," says the sympathetic salsewoman in the corset department. "Madam is disinclined for anything of the sort," promptly replies the customer, who, however, cannot help herself. That is the truth of the whole affair—Madam cannot help herself; at least, not by corsets, though she may, no doubt, by diet, which, however, she will not follow for more than a fortnight. It is a curious fact I have observed that a fortnight's resistance against the sweets of the earth is about as much as most of us are capable of, even in the serious interests of our waists. To those who bravely disregard their waists entirely, I advise the trial of the belt which extends from just above the waist to the hips, made of elastic and boned, and fitted with suspenders. It is extremely comfortable, and although not sympathetic to the rounded contour, it enables its wearer to present a perfectly straight front. "Weally, I detest slang," said Reggy Boreall.

He Explains a Little Detail of Business to Mrs. Briggs in Connection With the Signing of a Check. When Mr. Briggs came home one evening and found his wife with eyes suspiciously red he only kissed her as usual and made no remarks. Briggs was a man who prided himself on his tact. He studiously guided the conversation on commonplace subjects while they sat at supper. Mrs. Briggs answered in monosyllables of forced cheerfulness. "Now, my dear, what is the matter?" he suddenly asked when the meal was finished. "Oh, nothing," replied Mrs. Briggs, biting her lip and with eyes cast down demurely. "Aha, Watson, the beautiful lady has a redness about the eyes. She has been weeping. Ergo, she has something troubling her," soliloquized Briggs in a humorous way he had of burlesquing the famous detective of fiction. Mrs. Briggs pouted, hesitating between tears and a smile. At this opportune moment her husband arose, went around the table and put an arm about her shoulders. "Now, tell me all about it, little woman," he said. "You see, it does no good denying that something is troubling you. My powerfully analytic and introspectively deductive mind tells me otherwise." After a moment Mrs. Briggs spoke. "I'll never give another cent to that hateful Fresh Air fund, never," she said, and held a handkerchief to her eyes. "What have they done to hurt you?" he ventured. Mrs. Briggs arose, went to the sideboard and took out a paper. Pointing to a paragraph she bade her husband read. It was under the list of fresh air fund subscriptions and read as follows: "One check was received signed 'A Friend.' This, of course, cannot be credited." Briggs read the item and looked at his wife. "But—I don't see—does this make you feel bad?" he puzzled. "Why, certainly, stupid, I sent the check," she explained. "You see I had been reading about the poor waifs that live in those big tenements on the East Side and have such pinched little lives, and lots of them die every summer. And they keep one of them in the country, where they can drink milk and pick flowers and romp on the green grass and get healthy for $5. So I decided I could spare $10, and sent it. Oh, I felt so good thinking that two little children were out having a good time on my $10." "And how did you sign the check you sent?" asked Briggs, trembling with a suspicion of the truth. "I just signed it 'A Friend,'" replied his wife. "I didn't want to let my right hand know what my left hand was doing. So I signed it that way, and now comes that horrid letter." Briggs sparred for breath. When he could trust himself to speak he did so, guardedly. "I'm—most extraordinary," he mused judicially. "Very untactful on their part, to say the least. Still, it may happen that they use the full name system. It is, in fact, quite possible. I may say probable." "The full name system?" asked Mrs. Briggs doubtfully. "Yes," explained Briggs. "You see, it is a check system in which the full name must be signed and no pseudonym. I think, it is my opinion, you should have signed your full name and then requested in an accompanying letter that they should credit your subscription in the printed list to 'A Friend.' This system is almost universally used now." Mrs. Briggs' eyes were wide with wonder. "Dear me, I might have thought of that," she said. "Business is so complicated. I'll send another check." Briggs was a man who prided himself on his tact.—New York Press. New York's Great School Republic. The school budget of $31,641,323, which is now before the board of estimate for approval, is greater than the entire revenue of Greece, says the New York World. It is eight times the income of Harvard university. Of the vast sum $25,090,571 is appropriated to pay the salaries of teachers. If the army of school children whose educational needs require this outlay, 546,941 were enrolled last year, with an average attendance of 465,132. The students of all the universities and colleges in Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania numbered only one-tenth as many. It was an army larger than Baltimore and greater than the prulation of Vermont and Delaware combined. The 50,000 new sittings provided would alone accommodate the common school pupils of New Hampshire. They met on the suburban car. They were next door neighbors, but Mrs. Snaggsley and her family were spending the summer in the country. Mrs. Snaggsley—Have you had a pleasant summer. Mrs. Sassem? Mrs. Sassem—Oh, yes. But when are you coming back?—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
