THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Washing A "Square Deal" in the Departu the Keep Commis Schools WashingtonD.C. A "Square Deal" in the Departments at Washington. A Probe of the Keep Commission. The Colored Schools Again. Nearly two years ago President Roosevelt, in his commendable desire to lift the public service out of time-worn ruts and place it upon a plane of higher efficiency, appointed a commission to examine into the work and methods of work in the different departments of the government, the grading and compensation of employees and other details affecting the efficient working of the great federal machine. This commission composed of high officials of the various departments, with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Keep at its head, after asiduous and untiring efforts in the performance of its duties has now completed its labors, and results and recommendations, it is understood, are now in the hands of the Executive. A brief preliminary review by the public press, summaries the conclusions reached by the commission, as commending in a general way, the operations of the Civil service, but criticising in unmistakable language the opportunities for favoritism in the established methods of advancing employees to higher grades in the departments. The recommendations, it is understood, will operate to fix a standard and regular means of promotion and thereby reduce the prerogatives which in this connection, have hitherto lodged with special officers. Such a reform will doubtless be hailed with much satisfaction by the large number of Negro employees in the various offices of the government. The discrimination and injustice which have been their portion, have been so long in operation that those in authority seem to feel that the Negro is a thing apart and that as such, they are bountifully well paid with a minimum of salary, for the same work for which the more favored class receives a third or half as much again. The fault is not with the Civil Service idea but with those who have been placed in the position to interpret and are supposed to fairly execute the same. Many of these are those whose education, environment and social VOL. XIV. Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. history are such as to preclude the possibility of an equitable consideration and treatment of Negroes, when in competition with and emulation of their white fellows. A higher standard is set for these and with faithful, conscientious effort, dilligent application and pronounced efficiency (for this is conceded to Negro employees of the government) they have grasped the situation and proved themselves equal to all requirements; still their progress, save in rare instances, is as a snails pace when placed against this rapid stride of a fleeing hare. Evidences of this are not wanting in most departments and as an illustration may be cited the case of a young man of brain and worth and a graduate in law. He was appointed as a laborer some ten years ago and by examination has been eligible to a clerkship for several years, yet men of the other race, who have been appointed and become qualified since, have long ago been placed on the roll as clerks while he is still left to wait and hope. Another was appointed to a messengership 14 years ago, within a few months of the entrance upon duty of several white men at the same grade and salary. One of these men is now enjoying a salary of $1,600, the others are each receiving $1,400, he $1,000. He is reported as efficient, in all respects worthy and has been repeatedly recommended for advancement by his immediate superiors. Again it is almost incredible that in ten years, five Negro clerks in one department, each of whose rating is first-class in every particular, should have received a total increase of only $600, while one white clerk alone, had this amount added to his salary at one fell swoop, being jumped from $1200 to $1800. In view of these facts does it not seem that the recommendations of the Keep Commission, affecting these matters, are both timely and important. The government is unequivocally committed to the policy of the "Square Deal" and cannot view with complacency the unfair dis DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1907. tribution of its rewards among worthy servants, of whatever race or class they may happen to be. The conservative element of the Negro citizens of the District are much concerned over recent developments in the local school situation. The term has scarcely begun when charges and countercharges of the most serious nature, affecting the probity of high officials have been filed with the Board. One result of this deplorable condition is the renewal of the conviction among many white people, that the control of the schools should again be made separate and distinct as was the case for a great many years when George F. T. Cook, a gentleman without reproach and a scholar of rare force and ability, was Superintendent. Under this regime the colored schools attained a degree of efficiency and excellence that has never since been equalled. There was not only greater harmony, better discipline and a more general development during this period; but the evidences of friction, growing out of racial jealousies and antagonisms, were less pronounced. A few sore heads with influence but with no real concern for the well being of the schools and without consideration for its effects on the race, engineered the change of system, as a means to the satisfaction of personal spites, the promotion of selfish interests and for the opportunity afforded for the reward of their loyal friends and adherents. Each succeeding year has contributed its quota of quarrels and contentions and occasionally episodes of a more serious nature have shocked the community and made necessary appeals both to the law and to the Congress. The white schools have not by any means been immune to these unfortunate and in some instances disgraceful occurrances, but those identified with and responsible for such conditionts, have also been masters of that finesse, which has enabled them to refrain from pressing a charge and to subordinate personal feelings when an unyielding aggressiveness, though it might accomplish their personal spite, would at the same time end in the dishonoring of an entire system. This quality of commendable restraint is rarely indulged in by Negroes and is yet to be acquired by the great majority of even the most enlightened of the race. With them a fight to the finish is the rule, let the consequences be what they will, and as far reaching as they may. But a few days ago Superintendent Chancellor is reported to have said, 'that the colored schools per se, and the constant agitation and presenting of charges and countercharges in the said schools was a detriment to the entire school system, and delayed or prevented many improvements or reforms, which might properly be adopted in the white schools The Superintendent doubtless voiced the sentiment of a considerable number of the White citizens of the District and it is thought that the Congress will be again asked to take a hand and make an investigation with a view of separating the white and colored school systems. Recently Asst. Superintendent Bruce addressed a letter to Mr. Chancellor, charging Atty. W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee, with accepting a fee for obtaining a position for a public school teacher. It is understood that Mr. Chase indignantly resents this charge and in a communication to the Board of Education presents an affidavit from the teacher in question which seems to materially aid his vindication. In retaliation, Mr. Chase asks the Board to relieve Mr. Bruce, of his position for uttering such a libel against himself. And so the merry war goes on, much to the regret of all good citizens who have the best interests of the schools at heart. However the case may be decided the incident is to be deplored, for coming at the beginning of the career of Mr. Bruce, in a position of so much influence and responsibility, to which he has been followed by the good wishes of people all over the country, it may be expected to have something of a sinister influence upon the further administration of his office. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The largest funeral in the history of the section of the state of Kentucky in which is located Versailes, was that of Carry Smothers, a colored revivalist whose record of 35 years work includes the conversions of hundreds. Thousands of Afro Americans on special trains from Indianapolis, Columbus, Chicago, Danville, Harrodsburg, Georgetown, Paris, Lexington, Paducah, Owensboro, Richmond, Maryville, Cincinnati and other places arbreak the turnpikes leading to the city were crowded with country people and extra police service was required from 1 to 4 p.m., when the enlogy was preached by Rev. S. Young of Lexington. A family of Negroes living near Alexandria, Ga., has been discovered to possesss remarkable mental powers The whole State is acquainted with the fact through Mr. Russell Goodbee, on whose plantation the family was raised. The family of the Georgia wonders consists of father, mother and four children. Rev. Ezekiel Burke, the father, is gifted with magnetic and hypnotic power which enables him to cure most any ache or pain. His four little children are gifted with mental telepathy and can communicate with one another at any distance. They are perfect mind readers, mediums and interperters and cannot possibly be mislead Washington.—From an authentic source it was learned that charges had been filed against Dr. Ernest Lyon, United State minister to Liberia, and that they were being investigated by an agent of the state department. Assistant Secretary of State Benson absolutely denied the story. As the information goes, Mr. Lyou has been trifling with the affections of the wife of another diplomat. Diplomatic circles in Liberia are all torn up over the scandal. In case Dr. Lyon is relieved from his post, George Ellis of Lawrence Kans., at present secretary of the legation in Liberia, will likely be appointed minister. Dr. Lyon hails from Maryland. All parties to the affair are Negroes. Magnolia, Miss., Oct. 5.—The freedom of Charley Martin depends upon his proving to the jury that he has only one-sixteenth Negro blood. If he is successful, not only will he be acquitted of the charge of miscegenation, but his wife, who is white, and who has already served two years of a 10 year term, will be pardoned from the penitentiary. When Martin and his wife were arrested two years ago she pleaded guilty to having married a Negro Martin, however, employed an attorney and made preparations to fight the case, on the ground that he was only one-sixteenth Negro, the greatest taint that the law permits in the marriage of whites. Continuances have given Martin his freedom while his wife has been in prison. To establish his status as a "white" man, Martin will have to prove his assertions without contradiction. Chicago, Sept., 28.—Twenty colored residents of the Westside district assembled in the Municipal Judge Sadler's chambers in the Desplaines street court to discuss the movement started recently by Judge Sadler, Dean W. T. Summer of SS. Peter and Paul cathedral, and F. L. Barnett, the colored assistant state's attorney, to found a social settlement for colored residents of the west side. The main discussion was as to the advisability of admitting white persons as well as colored to the organization. Most of those present agreed with Mr. Barnett's opinion that it would NO. 4. be better for the settlement if the organization is limited to the colored men only. The Rev. L. H. Burke, colored, opposed Mr. Barnett's idea. On Judge Sadler's suggestion the advisability of admitting whites will be taken under consideration at the next meeting. Because the city has built a Carnegie library building which shuts off light and air from his five-story apartment house, No. 205 West 150th street, Philadelphia, Pa., Charles F. Hatterman has advertised there and at his drug store at Columbus avenue and West Ninety-ninth street that he will let his property to colored tenents. Mr. Hatterman bought the property a half dozen years ago for $35, 500. It fronts twenty-five feet in West One hundred and Fifteenth street. At the corner, running from his property to Seventh avenue, was a large lot occupied only by an old-fashioned frame house. The city bought the corner property in West One hundred and Fifteenth street as a cite for the library. It is directly accross the street from the main entrance of the Wadleigh High School. The location of the library there was desired by the other property owners, for they believed it would enhance the value of their holdings. Some of the whites are moving out but when Mrs. Eberhardt, an English woman, who is janitress of the Hatterman apartments, was asked if she intends to stay, said: "Stay? Of course I will, if I'm allowed. The Negroes make the most desirable tenants, anyhow." Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct, 5.—W. C. Alexander, who sought safety here when he thought the Negroes of Cornerstone, where he had been in the saloon business, had desired to kill him as revenge for the death of Mose Blackburn, has been arrested on a charge of first degree murder. After a hearing on a habeas corpus writ, Alexander was released on $7,000 bond. Alexander does not deny killing Blackburn Sunday, Sept. 8. He says he hired Blackburn to do some work in his saloon and while so engaged, he accused the Negro of stealing some money. Then, he says, Blackburn started for him with a revolver and he shot him. Alexander was not arrested and made no move to leave the community until several days after, when Lewis Franklin, a Negro, attempted to shoot him and failed because Alexander ran into a store. Franklin was confronted by Constable C. A. Butler and killed him with the gun he had bought to kill Alexander. Franklin said after his arrest that he wanted to kill Alexander because the latter had killed Blackburn, "a brother in the church." He intimated that although he had failed, some other "brother" would take up the work. Dodging a Hazard. As an illustration of the enthusiasm with which golf is pursued by its votaries, the following anecdote is told of a well-known Scotch author and a young friend of his: The two had spent the whole day on the links, and had had some close and exciting matches. As they left for home the elder man remarked: "Do you think you could play tomorrow, laddle?" "Well," answered the youth, "I was to be married tomorrow, but I can put it off."—Life. Racing and Horse-Breeding. The feature of most popular interest 'in the September Century promises to be John Glimer Speed's discussion of "Racing in Its Relation to Horsebreeding." Mr. Speed holds that racing is not entirely a business, it is not merely a gambling game, it is not purely a sport, nor is it conducted simply to improve the breed of horses; but it partakes of all these at once, and the only evil those in control do not seem able to eliminate gambling. The questions which Mr. Speed takes up for discussion are, how does racing improve the breed of horses, and, is the improvement worth what it costs; and his conclusion is that, without racing, the thoroughbred in this country would soon become a rarity.

Carbonate National Bank HOW THE STATE IS PROSPERING REPORTS FROM EVERY CORNER GIVE GOOD NEWS OF COLO- RADO'S PROGRESS. FACTORIES COMING FARMERS ARE DOING WELL THEIR PART TO BRING THE STATE TO THE FRONT. Denver.—Secretary James B. Young of the State Commercial Association yesterday compiled the reports for the past week which have come to him from the various local civic organizations around the state, and the compilation shows remarkable progress in every part of the state. The Commercial association now has a chance to locate in Colorado a manufacturing industry that will employ 600 men and make a cash investment of $500,000, but the secretary has been instructed not to give out the details at this time. The reason for the many recent arrivals of men to invest money in Colorado is that the truth of first-class conditions is recognized. Brighton's new syrup factory is ready for business. The sweet fluid will be turned out from sugar beets. Here is something to ponder over and tell your friends in the East. Two Colorado men planted 130 acres to potatoes this spring. They have just finished digging. Here is the result: Fifteen thousand sacks of as fine potatoes as were ever grown, or sixty carloads and 3,000 sacks of seed potatoes. The average was 230 sacks of salable potatoes and fifty bushels of seed potatoes to the acre. Can you beat it? What is believed to be one of the finest deposits of marble in the world has been discovered in the Redlands country. Corn averaging forty bushels to the acre has just been cut four miles west of Fort Lupton. It was raised without irrigation. This indicates that Colorado can grow corn successfully. Fort Morgan counts it a day lost nowadays when some new buildings are not started in that city. During the present year over 200 buildings have been erected and still there is a big demand for more. It is expected that water will be turned into the big ditch in Morgan county next year. Forty thousand acres of virgin land will be watered by the ditch. Over $1,000,000 will be paid out to the farmers of Morgan county this year for sugar beets alone. Fort Morgan is contesting with Greeley as to potato growing. One man dug fifteen acres that went better than 150 sacks to the acre. If the price of potatoes in the Greeley district holds up to present figures spud growers will have no cause to complain of any shrinkage in their bank accounts, but on the contrary will be looking around for more room in which to store their money. Potatoes are selling at very good prices at present and one which leaves a big margin of profit. A Kersey man has just sold his eighty-acre farm, which he bought four years ago for $3,500, for $10,000 cash, and he retains his crop for this year, valued at $4,000, in addition. The $10,000 that he received for his property is practically all "velvet." One hundred thousand lambs will be fattened in Weld county this fall and winter. Next spring under the Beaver Land & Irrigation Company's project in Fremont county, 4,000 acres of land will be brought under irrigation and eventually 30,000 acres will be added to the arable soil of the county. The fame of Colorado honey is spreading abroad, and all beekeepers in the state find that they have not enough honey to fill orders. Colorado Springs is going to have a new dairy that will make a specialty of supplying a line of milk that will be acceptable to the doctors of the city. Over in the Redlands country they have pumps at work that are throwing water into irrigation ditches at an altitude of 137 feet. This gives a good idea of the big strides that are being made in the state in the way of more and better irrigation projects. Blackmailer in Jail. Lead, S. D.—An attempt to extort $20,000 from J. Grier, manager of the Homestake gold mine, under threat of dynamitting his house unless the money was placed in a designated place, was frustrated last night by the arrest of the alleged blackmailers. Mrs. Anna Maljas, Chris Maljas, her husband, and Matt Zimbola were arrested by the police as the guilty parties. Grier received an anonymous letter demanding $20,000, the threat being made that Grier's home would be dynamited unless the money was put in an envelope and placed at a certain place. He reported to the police and a decoy letter was left as directed. Mrs. Maljas was arrested by a concealed policeman as she took the letter. Her husband and Zimbola were later taken into custody. Grier's house, the finest in South Dakota, is located on the top of a steep hill in the center of the town. Fall Over Cliff Kills Pioneer Breckenridge, Colo.—Col. John B. Thexton, an old-time resident of Colorado and one of the best known mining men in the state, fell over a cliff at Montezuma and was killed. He represented the Chalmer people of Chicago for twenty years in construction of mills reaching from Canada to Mexico. He had been a resident of this place for fifteen years and recently left for Montezuma to supervise the construction of a concentrating mill. He was sixty-five years old, and is survived by a wife and child, who live here. The body was shipped to Idaho Springs for burial. Chicago.—"Marry early and have children—as many children as you can take care of. Pick out a good woman, a co-operative woman—one who will interest herself in whatever work you have to do." This is Edward H. Harriman's advice to young men, and he found time aside from the strenuous battle with Stuyvessant Fish for possession of the Illinois Central to discuss matrimony and many other topics. He positively refused to discuss President Roosevelt or his policies. "If I praise him it will be set down as sarcasm, and it would not be becoming in me to criticize him," said Mr. Harriman. He insists that there is no danger of a panic, and that the flurries in Wall Street mean nothing to the rest of the country. "Matrimony," said Mr. Harriman, "is not essentially a business proposition; in fact it should never be regarded as such, but nevertheless marriage often plays a highly important part in the race for what is commonly known as success. "I shall tell you what success really is: It is the accomplishment of any one thing as well or better than the same thing can be accomplished by another. To the young man who would be successful I would say, always be courteous, always be friendly, do the best you can under all circumstances, marry early and have children, and have as many children as you can take care of." Wed by Telephone. New York.—The extraordinary story of how a marriage was performed by long distance telephone—the bridegroom being in New York, the bride in St. Louis—was revealed yesterday in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn. Mrs. Rose Applebaum of 334 East Ninety-first street, applied to Justice McCali through her attorneys for an increase of alimony from $7 a week to $20, pending the trial of her suit for separation from Frank M. Applebaum, manager of a big Manhattan clothing firm. It developed that in August, 1899, when Applebaum was a widower, his first wife having been the sister of the present one, he called St. Louis on the telephone and got the woman who is now endeavoring to sever the marriage ties. He proposed and was accepted, and when all legal arrangements had been made the pair were united "by wire." Their married life, however, was not so smooth as the telephone service, Mrs. Applebaum alleging that her husband for one year after the birth of a child lived with a certain woman uptown as her husband. Applebaum's lawyers deny this. First Pay Day Is Big. Greeley, Colo.—Thursday was the first pay day in this district for beet growers and sugar factory employees for the campaign of 1907-08. Farmers did not begin to dig beets until September 23, but up to October 1st nearly 40,000 tons of beets had been delivered at the factories in Greeley, Eaton and Windsor. Manager Granger reports that $150,000 was paid to growers in the district for their September deliveries, each factory paying $50,000. The October delivery will represent triple this amount and November's delivery will be large. Factory employees from October 1st to today have received $15,000 at each of the factories, making a total expense to date of $195,000. The beets are averaging fourteen tons an acre and their sugar contents is more satisfactory than ever. Today farmers began siloning one-fourth their crop. Manager Granger says there is no dissatisfaction regarding the siloning as it is done when the farmers have laborers in the field to handle the crop and the siloled portion can be marketed at convenient seasons. It is believed by this arrangement all beets will be taken from the ground by November 15th and the arduous labor of digging after freezing weather avoided. National Bill of Lading Washington.—When the hearing at the interstate commerce commission in the matter of putting into effect upon the railroads of the United States the proposed uniform bill of lading, framed by the shipping and railroad interests, was continued there was a large attendance of representatives of the shipping banking and railroad interests. All these interests are being given an opportunity to present their views on the subject in order that an instrument which will meet the requirements of all interests concerned may be put into operation at the beginning of the new year. Considerable opposition to the proposed lading bill in its present shape has developed and if the commission accepts the views of those who already have been heard a new instrument will be perfected or the one already proposed will be materially modified. Today's program included arguments of representatives of both the commercial interests and the railroads. Once Rich He Dies Poor. Leadville.—I. H. Graves, aged seventy-eight, died recently. He was one of the oldest mining men in the district and it is believed that he was at one time immensely wealthy. Graves was at one time an expert mechanical engineer and helped in the construction of all the leading railroads into San Francisco, through which he derived a fortune. He invested his earnings judiciously and his savings grew until he was at one time reputed a millionaire. When he came to Leadville in 1878 he associated with local spiritualists and through the powers he claimed as a medium attempted to locate orc bodies. He was unsuccessful in this and his fortune disappeared. Death found him possessed of only a few articles of jewelry which he had kept as mementoes. He refused to divulge the wherebouts of his children, of whom it is thought he had three. He claimed to have been informed through the spirit world that his wife had died sixteen years ago. "BOO-HOO" Shouts a Spanked Baby. A Young Composer. Rachel, aged 12, wrote an composition on wild flowers in which she praised the arbutus, the liverwort, the spring beauty, the blood root, and all of the other blossoms of dell and dale. But she wrote on both sides of her sheet of paper, and when she asked her father, who was an editor, to publish her article, he called her attention to that fact. "You've written on both sides of your paper," said he. "Well," was the reply, "and don't you print on both sides of yours?" ALL THINGS IN PROPORTION Invalid's Meal Evidently Had Not Increased Good Humor. For many weeks the irritable merchant had been riveted to his bed by typhoid fever. Now he was convalescing. He clamored for something to eat, declaring that he was starving. "To-morrow you may have something to eat," promised the doctor. The merchant realized that there would be a restraint to his appetite, yet he saw, in vision, a modest, steaming meal placed at his bedside. "Here is your dinner," said the nurse next day, as she gave the glowering patient a spoonful of tapioca pudding, "and the doctor emphasizes that everything else you do must be in the same proportion." Two hours later the nurse heard a frantic call from the bed chamber. "Nurse," breathed the man heapily, "I want to do some reading, bring me a postage stamp." HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA. Smokers Follow Fashions in the Use of Tobacco. "Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Edwin Booth," said the man with a southern accent. "That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco to-day," said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Yorkers make a fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked. And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. I have filed away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every man's trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big man's favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after a few pipefuls and go back to a popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the experience."—The New York Sun. A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy between Collier's Weekly and the Religious Press of the Country and others, including ourselves. Also regarding suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon its methods. These are his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "The religious Press owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage in showing up Collier's Weekly as the "Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to use the enclosed article on the "Boo Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's successor?" "A contemporary remarks that Collier's has finally run against a solid hickory "Post" and been damaged in its own estimation to the tune of $750,000.00." "Here is a publication which has, in utmost disregard of the facts, spread broadcast damaging statements about the Religious Press and others and has suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after finding the Religious Press too quiet, and peaceful, to resent the insults, it makes the mistake of wandering into fresh field and butts its rattled head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post suddenly turns and gives it back a dose of its own medicine." "It is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheery laugh comes from Collier's, but it cries and boo hoo like a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00 to soothe its tender, lacerated feelings." "Thank Heaven it has at last struck a man with "back bone" enough to call a spade a "spade" and who believes in telling the whole truth without fear or favor." Perhaps Collier's with its "utmost disregard for the facts," may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless it is on file in our office and is only one of a mass of letters and other data, newspaper comments, etc., denouncing the "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume is so large that a man could not well go thru it under half a day's steady work. The letters come from various parts of America. Usually a private controversy is not interesting to the public, but this is a public controversy. Collier's has been using the "yellow" methods to attract attention to itself, but, jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling "Look at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a "Holler Than Thou" attack on the Religious Press and on medicine. We leave it to the public now, as we did when we first resented Collier's attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. We likewise leave it to the public to say whether Collar's, by its own policy and meth- The "Mound City." St. Louis rejoices in the subjugant of Mound City from the fact that the original settlers found there many elevations which it is supposed were relics of that strange people who dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and are known to modern times only as the Mound Builders. No adequate explanation has yet been found of their strange mode of leaving memorials of their existence. The limestone bluffs on which a part of St. Louis stands furnish a solid foundation for the business buildings. Held Up. "Stop!" shouted the man on the country road, holding up a warning hand. Muttering something about rural cops, the automobilist obeyed. "Turn around and come back to town with me," said the stranger. "You were going at least 35 miles an hour." "You're a constable, I suppose," said the automobilist, with a covert sneer, when they had reached the village. "Me?" replied the passenger. "No, I'm a farmer and had to come into town when all the teams was busy. Nice growing weather? Thanks. Goodby." Ensuing comment is purposely omitted—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Belling a Rat. You have probably read or heard that the best way to rid a house of rats is to catch one and fasten a bell about its neck. A boy in Delaware tried the experiment two months ago. He was badly bitten in making the bell fast, but he turned the rat loose and expected the tinkling of that bell would have great results. It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore it was constantly on the move all night, and the tinkling bell kept the family awake, and in the next the sounds brought scores of new rats to the house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the music. Had the boy tied a harmonica to another rat's tail, the rodents would have had a dance every night. She Was Willing. "Yes," says the husband, "I have consented to accept the nomination." "I am so glad the party is beginning to recognize your merit," beams the wife. "Now my dear," the husband continues, "you know that political affairs are not love feasts, by any means. You must expect to see me vilified and attacked in a scandalous manner. No doubt the opposition will try to dig up sensational rumors about me, and all that sort of thing, but you must not——" "Well," she interrupts, "I am really glad of it. You have always been strangely silent about whether or not you ever were engaged to anyone before you met me." ods, has not made itself more ridiculous than any comment of ours could make it. Does Collier's expect to regain any self-inflicted loss of prestige by demonstrating thru suits for damages, that it can be more artful in evading liability for libels than the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to silence the popular indignation, reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It can not postpone the public judgment against it. That great jury, the Public, will hardly blame us for not waiting until we get a petit jury in a court room, before denouncing this prodigal detractor of institutions founded and fostered either by individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects are results obtained from the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and a little salt; Postum absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent of New Orleans Molasses. The art of preparing these simple elements in a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and flavor, required some work and experience to acquire. Now, when any publication goes far enough out of its way to attack us because our advertising is "medical," it simply offers a remarkable exhibition of ignorance or worse. We do claim physiological or bodily results of favorable character following the adoption of our suggestions regarding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which may not be keeping the individual in good health. We have no advice to offer the perfectly healthful person. His or her health is evidence in itself that the beverages and foods used exactly fit that person. Therefore, why change? But to the man or woman who is alling, we have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. In the palpably ignorant attack on us in Collier's, appeared this statement,—"One widely circulated paragraph labors to induce the impression that Grape-Nuts will coviate the necessity of an operation in appendicitis. This is lying and potentially deadly lying." In reply to this exhibition of—well let the reader name it, the Postum Co., says: Let it be understood that appendicitis results from long continued disturbance in the intestines, caused primarily by undigested starchy food. The Way of the Child. A small boy who had recently passed his fifth birthday was riding in a car with his mother, when they were asked the customary question: "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. The boy sat quite still as if pondering over some question, and then, concluding that full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car: "And mother's 31!" A Definition of Success. How have the hypothetical scientists and the exponents of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of doubt broadcast in the world? The real scientists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word; they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious manifestations of the Divine creative power. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspiration, have written a great many books and some of them have won what the world at large lightly calls fame. According to the ordinary measures that are applied in such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of humanity in some form or other. If no such benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success is not equal to that achieved by the direct poverty and the deepest ignorance. — Joel Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine. WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD. Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested a Bet on "Wing Ting." Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo., won $1,000 at the Louisville, Ky., race meeting a short time ago as the result of a "hunch." Mr. Spence has a large breeding stable of "runners" near Mexico, and attends all the big racing events in the country. Not long since he was in Louisville and entered the betting ring to see what odds were being offered on the various entries. He found that Joaquin was the favorite at even money, and pulled his wallet from his pocket, intending to bet on that horse. His attention was attracted by something that fell from his wallet to the ground, and he stooped ed and picked it up. It was a Chinese laundry ticket. He looked at the "books" again and found that there was an entry with a Chinese name, Wing Ting, at ten to one. That set tled it, for he considered he had received a "hunch" that could not be overlooked. Wing Ting won handily Needless to say, those who backed the favorite considered Spence the seventh son of the seventh son.—Kansas City Star. such as white bread, potatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals and such. Starchy food is not digested in the upper stomach but passes on into the duodenum, or lower stomach and intestines, where, in a healthy individual, the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood. But if the powers of digestion are weakened, a part of the starchy food will lie in the warmth and moisture of the body and decay, generating gases and irritating the mucous surfaces until under such conditions the whole lower part of the alimentary canal, including the colon and the appendix, becomes involved. Disease sets up and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When the symptoms of the trouble make their appearance, would it not be good, practical, common sense, to discontinue the starchy food which is causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in the process of manufacture? This is identically the same form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly digested. Now, human food is made up very largely of starch and is required by the body for energy and warmth. Naturally, therefore, its use should be continued, if possible, and for the reasons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. In connection with this change of food to bring relief from physical disturbances, we have suggested washing out the intestines to get rid of the immediate cause of the disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where the disease has lain dormant and the abuse continued too long, until apparently only the knife will avail. But it is a well-established fact among the best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited, that preventative measures are far and away the best. Are we to be condemned for suggesting a way to prevent disease by following natural methods and for perfecting a food that contains no "medicine" and produces no "medicinal effects" but which has guided literally thousands of persons from sickness to health? We have received during the years past upwards of 25,000 letters from people who have been either helped or made entirely well by following our suggestions, and they are simple. If coffee disagrees and causes any of the ailments common to some coffee users quit it and take If white bread, potatoes, rice and other starch foods make trouble, quit and use Grape-Nuts food which is largely predigested and will digest, nourish and strengthen, when other forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense. "There's a Reason for Postum and Grape-Nuts Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Miss M. Cowden Hair Dressing Parlor. Shampoo, cutting and curling.

BODIES BURNED CRISP SURVIVORS OF 800 INHABITANTS OF THE PLACE LEFT WITHOUT HOMES. Brazil, Ind.—From twenty-five to thirty persons dead and dying, 100 persons injured, and every house in Fontanet destroyed, rendering several hundred people homeless, is the result of an explosion of powder in the mills of the Du Pont Powder Company, near Fontanet, at 9:15 o'clock Tuesday. The first explosion occurred in the glazing mill of the plant. Quickly following the other mills blew up, there being three distinct concussions at intervals of a few minutes. In the mills at the time seventy-five to eighty men were at work. When the glazing mill went up, the men ran for their lives from the other mills and many thus escaped death, but received serious injuries. At the first explosion the inhabitants of the town ran from the buildings and thus saved themselves. No one was killed in the town, although there is not a building left standing. Magazine Blows Up. At 10:45, ninety minutes after the first explosion, the heat from the burning mills exploded the great powder magazine situated in a hollow several hundred yards from the mills. It contained many thousand kegs of powder and the concussion was even greater than those from the explosions of the mills. Among those injured from the magazine explosion were several physicians who were at work among the dead and dying. A freight train standing on the siding leading to the powder mills was partly destroyed by the concussion and took fire. The heat from the burning mills and freight train was so great that it was impossible to remove many of the bodies from the wreckage. Eighteen mangled bodies were taken to the morgue to await identification. Injured were found scattered everywhere and were collected and relied given as rapidly as possible. Not a House Standing. Not a house is left standing in the town. Fronts, roofs sides and even the foundations of many buildings have been blown to atoms. Great holes are torn in the ground, fences have vanished and house goods from the ruined homes are in confused heaps of debris in all directions. The people of the town, who had rushed from their homes at the first explosion, were saved because of this. The shock from the exploding magazine wrecked the buildings in the town. The first body taken from the wrecked mills was that of Dr. Carroll, an employee. It was burned almost to a crisp, but the man was still alive and begged for someone to shoot him and put him out of his misery. He lived by a few minutes. Father and Son Die Together. The bodies of two other employees, Ves Dial and his son, were found near Carroll. Will Dalton was found unconscious, his body badly mangled. He cannot live. Charles Wells, engineer on the freight train is badly injured. He is burned and his left leg is fractured. A brick school building a quarter of a mile from the mills, was wrecked and many of the children within were injured, some seriously, but none fatally. A farmhouse three-quarters of a mile away was totally destroyed. Fontanet is a mining town of 800 inhabitants, situated on the Big Four railroad, eleighteen miles east of Terre Haute and twelve miles from here. The explosion interrupted telephone communication with outside points. Assistance was asked for at once and physicians with bandages left both places in carriages and automobiles to render aid. Superintendent Monahan of the mills is missing and is believed to have been blown to pieces and his body burned. Mistook For a Coyote. Durango, Colo.—Mistaken for a coyote Robert Hanna was shot and killed by his hunting companion, Henry Ives. The men were on Junction creek, eight miles above Durango. They had separated, agreeing to meet at a certain point, but for some unknown reason Hanna wont out of his agreed course. He was hunting through some underbrush when Ives saw the moving object and fired. The bullet passed through is leg, crushing the bone. Ives did what he could to relieve the injured man, and then came to Durango for help. A relief party returned with him to the scene of the accident, but Hanna was weak from loss of blood and died on the way back to the city. He was fifty-four years of age, and lived in the San Juan county twenty three years. He is survived by a widow and four children, all residing in Durango. Both he and Ives were barbers and have been working in the same shop. Ives is prostrated because of the accident. Pettibone Trial October 28th. Boise, Idaho.—The trial of George Pettibone, charged with complicity in the assassination of former Governor Steenberg, was postponed today until October 28th. Judge Wood said he was certain the defendant's physical condition would permit his trial on October 23d, but the defense requested a few days longer and the 28th was agreed upon. Are here.

Colorado Springs.—George Timmins, son of Mrs. Harry Leonard, leader in Colorado Springs' most exclusive set, is occupying a cell at the city jail and Harry Shellenberger, a boon companion, is threatened with a like fate on a charge of vandalism. Because they "didn't like some of the dubs" at Colorado College they shot up the campus last night, broke in twenty-nine windows in Palmer hall, the half-million dollar science building, uprooted trees and damaged the front of the science hall in a manner that called forth the utmost condemnation. Both young men were drunk. Young Timmins acknowledged his guilt to Chief Reynolds today noon and implicated Shellenberger. Shellenberger is connected with the Portland mill and lives at a fashionable Cascade avenue boarding house. Timmins' stepfather, Harry Leonard, lives in Denver, is a member of the exclusive clubs there and the young man's mother is one of the most prominent society women of the city. Just Changed Her Mind. Philadelphia.—A mysterious severing of the engagement between Miss Margaret Hazelhurst, one of the Quaker city's beauties, and Frederick E. Gilbert, Jr., of New York, on the eve of their wedding, has occurred. Mr Gilbert, who is wealthy and whose parents occupy the magnificent chateau Villa Theo at Bairretz, France, hurried to Philadelphia to complete arrangements for the union. Last Saturday night, according to her friends, the young man was seen with his flancee, both seeming in the best of spirits and happy over the approaching wedding day. But now Miss Hazelhurst announces that she will not marry Mr. Gilbert. She had her trousseau all prepared. Cards of invitation had been mailed and about $50,000 worth of presents had been received by the prospective bride. When Mr. Gilbert rushed to the young woman's home and pleaded desperately with her, asking for an explanation, it is said she simply remarked: "I have changed my mind..." The report is that Miss Hazelhurst intends to return all the presents to the donors. Uncle Sam Makes Bad Loan. Washington.—Treasury officials have practically admitted that the $1,000,000 loan by Congress to the Jamestown exposition and the additional money expended from federal funds for construction work on the fair, will be a dead loss to the government. Acting Secretary Edwards has had under consideration for some time the scheme of assuming charge of the exposition and retaining the gate receipts as a partial return of the government's loan. Under this arrangement the running expenses would, of course, also have to be paid from the federal till, and it was finally concluded that the admission to the grounds were not sufficiently great to meet those expenses. By the act of Congress granting a loan to the exposition company, the only redress the treasury officials have is to levy on the receipts. It is understood that these are only between 6,000 and 7,000 paid admissions to the grounds daily. Hot Box Caused the Explosion. Fontanet, Ind.—The latest estimates of the destruction wrought by the explosion at the Dupont powder mills Tuesday morning is that thirty-eight persons were killed, 600 injured, fifty seriously, and a property loss of approximately $750,000 caused From William Sparrow, employed in the glazing mill, it was learned that a "hot box," due to too much friction on the shafting, causing sparks to be transmitted to some loose powder, was in all probability the cause of the terrible catastrophe. Sparrow, who is dangerously hurt as the result of the explosion, said: "The explosion was caused by loos boxing on the shaft. The day before the explosion happened we had to throw water on the boxing when it became too hot. This time it got too hot and sent off the sparks that caused the explosion." Hundred Miles in Three Hours. St. Louis.—J. C. McCoy and Capt. J. D. F. Chandler, who will represent America in the coming long distance balloon races, recently made a successful flight from St. Louis to Jacksonville, Illinois, covering the distance of almost 100 miles in three hours and ten minutes. The flight, which was the first of a number of experimental ones to be made before the international events open on October 21st, was without special incident, and the aeronauts said they could have remained in the air at least four hours longer had they desired to face a night voyage in the small balloon they were using. Toward the end of the voyage the balloon passed through a heavy rainstorm, but a few minutes of sunshine dried the envelope and the balloon afterward rose to a height of a mile. To Pole by Polar Bears. New York—Capt. Ronald Amundson, the Arctic explorer, who arrived today on the steamship Oscar II, said he would make an attempt to reach the North Pole in 1910. He announced that he is having four big polar bears trained to haul sleds, and intends to use them in the far north. He also said that he and his friends expected to petition President Roosevelt and the United States government to allow his vessel, the Gjoa, in which he navigated the northwest passage in 1904, to be the first to pass through the Panama canal upon its completion. The Gjoa was formerly a whaling vessel and is now undergoing repairs in the Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco. Will Bet $20,000 On Bat Nelson. Ely, Nev.—"Tex" Rickard, the fight promoter, has offered to take the bet of $20,000 proposed by John L. May of Reno, that Battling Nelson can stay twenty rounds with Joe Gans, and in addition agrees to furnish a purse of $25,000 for such a match. The condition is that the meeting shall take place at Ely on New Year's Day.

TO lure young colored girls to a life of shame is not much of a crime in the eyes of some white men. The weakness and uncommon helplessness of their vietims but add to the delight of this kind of criminal. And this kind of criminal is more numerous than the authori- ties or the good people of the community are aware of. If the color and character of the parties were changed about, much more would be known of these affairs. Eugene Young, the railroad fireman, who took two young colored girls, aged fifteen and sixteen, to Cheyenne and placed them in a house of ill fame, should not be allowed to escape with light punishment.

THE DENVER REPUBLICAN seems to be laboring under the delusion that. it is contributing materially to the solution of the race problem by gravely converting instances of simple prejudice and dis- crimination into arguments favoring the emigration of the Negro to Africa. It appears to find serene satisfaction in applying a remedy as simple as a kindergarten lesson to a problem as intricate and difficult as any with which this nation has to deal. Because the white residents of a fashionable Washington suburb seek to prevent a Negro pur- chaser from oceupying a dwelling sold contrary to a covenant in a former deed prohibiting its sale to a Negro, The Republiean hastens to remind the colored people that such things would not occur in “‘the Jand of their ancestors.’’ The Negroes of the United States have overeome vastly greater obstacles than the one presented by that charactr of real estate snob- bery which seeks to bar them forever from certain select plots of Jand. Things just drift along and knock such silly monuments of ignorance and conceit into the rust pile. There are many cities in the United States whose formerly fine old aristocratic mansions and exclusive quarters are now oceupied by Negroes, and their tenaney and even their ownership has beeome .a thing greatly desired by the successors of former lords of the land or their agents whose discriminations have given place to smart competition in a fight for the Negro’s dollars. Dis- eriminations of the kind alluded to cut small figure in the minds of people who have struggled up from a condition in which the meaning of land ownership was searcely realized, to one in which they own fifteen per cent. of all the land in a single state. The Negro realizes that he must fight to attain the enjoyment of very ordinary principles of justice, but it can be put down as a settled fact that he is not fighting, and will not fight, to foree himself ino direct social contact with those who wish to avoid him in that respect. - The Washington case is not ‘a race dilemma but merely a personal affair, over whieh the white peo- ple are worried the most. A real aristocratic Negro section, city or su- burban, is not an unknown thing, nor is redidence therein less satis- fying to an intelligent high-minded Negro than would be a residence ad- joining the property of Senator Tillman or Minister Wu Ting Fang. Larger things than these must draw the Negro to Afriea. We say “‘draw’’ instead of ‘‘drive’’ because the realization is coming that the age favors the inducements of reason rather than the compulsion of fear and oppression as a basis for a vast movement of people from one coun- try and clime to another. Would it be wise for the Ameriean Negro, in his present condition, to attempt to establish ‘‘in the land of his ancestors’’ a nation of his own? Or should he yet a while continue to cling to that covenant “‘running with the land’’ which the white man entered into with him when the latter brought him here and planted him in the Southland and coyenanted with God to keep and afford him support in the land throughout his destiny, and even yet awhile insist ae that the white man keep that covenant with him and with his od RACE ANTAGONISM. . af races exerts a strange i Notwithstanding the fact tl vith barbarous or half-barb generally at peace, there is a slumbering sentiment of ce of peace and amity. ople, in their several distine a mutual and binding affec and harmony, and their int THE antagonism af races exerts a strange influence upon the his- tory of the world. Notwithstanding the fact that, excepting certain sanguinary conflicts with barbarous or half-barbarous peoples, the na- tions of the world are generally at peace, there is never any attempt to deny the existence of a slumbering sentiment of race antagonism be- neath the outer surface of peace and amity. The Caueasian people, in their several distinctive parts, are not en- tirely assured of such a mutual and binding affection as will guarantee their continued peace and harmony, and their international politics af- ford a prolific souree for the cultivation of differences whieh must be settled by either the fine hand of diplomacy or the rougher hand of war, aa ate Leading the world in civil and intellectual progressiveness and yet harboring the savage instinet of selfish advantage, even the seience of diplomats and the prayers of peace delegates fail to dispose of the ar- gument that well-drilled armies and mighty nayies are necessary, as a police precaution, to establish and maintain the peace of the world, But if the Caucasian distrusts himself, there should be no surprise that deep down in his heart he nurses an enmity against other branches of the human family seemingly of more lasting and bitter force than that exhibited by any other racial stock, civilized or savage. With all the international intercourse which a distinctly commercial age has brought about, and all the interchange of courtly state honors and private defer- enee, the Caucasian never drops his personal idea of racial superiority over yellow, brown or black, as well as his unchangeable belief that things have always been and must always be so. Exclusion acts are not based upon any idea of the brotherhood of man, Neither are they intended solely to prevent industrial friction or labor depreciation. ‘They embody ‘also an unexpressed spirit of racial antagonism, which fears and guards against even a remote possibility of assimilation. The African population in the United States could never have been trans- planted here in any other way than as slaves. Its emancipation and adoption into the citizenship has not removed, and apparently has not lessened, the spirit of racial antagonism with which the white popu- lation is imbued. The black man, the brown man and the yellow, despite individual education or intellectual attainment, is yet unalterably an inferior in the eyes of the average Caucasian, and this conceit has een- turies of past history and the unlimited, untried power of the present to back it. But after all, there is something unnatural, unhuman and irretrievably savage in race antagonism and race hatred in their deep- est meaning. ‘They are co.:irary to every principle upon which Chris- tianity has built up the Cancasian’s magnificent civilization ; contrary to every instinet which makes for the moral and spiritual improvement of humanity. Yet they endure and find their most fertile soil in the breasts of those who lead the world. Will it always be thus? Cultivate Good Manners Hf You Would Rise a} Good manners often do more for a man than money or influence. They open many a portal to the aspiring which would otherwise remain closed, and lead the way to recognition and success. The man of polish, of suave and courtly bearing, has a much better chance of getting along in the world than the man of a rough, overbearing disposition who en- deayors to attain his ends by brute force regardless ‘of tha fealiiies or rights of others. ‘The art of pleasing may be said to be synonymous with the art of | rising in the world. Of course there have been some notable exceptions of men who surrounded themselves with a nimbus of gloom after they ‘emerged from the chrysalis of genius, but these, after all, missed the ‘brightness and beauty of life. Michael Angelo was a stern, cold, for- ‘bidding man, and though people admired his works they did not admire himself; he had few friends and fame did not bring him happiness, Columbus was ungocial and taeiturn, and to this disposition may be at- ‘tributed the mutiny of his erews, which with difficulty was allayed on [his voyage of discovery t6 the New World. Dante was never invited out to dinner in his life and during his exile from his home and his wander- ings throughout his native land, was never welcomed at any fireside; he remained a hermit to his countrymen. On the contrary, the brilliant men who had warm hearts and polished ‘manners worked their way into the love of the multitude. Charles James Fox, even when he had ganibled away his last dollar, was beloved by the people because of his gracious manner. Gladstone was the idol of the English race, despite political hatred, owing to the charm of his personality and winning ways, which also gained for him many a vote ‘and won many an election. The zenial, kindly, lovable life of William McKinley endeared his name to the homes of the American people and ‘his untimely death plunged a nation into tears regardless of all political “affiliation. The “I don’t know,” “I don't care,’ “None of my business” kind of man stays where he starts, More than their ability, their manners have ‘put most successful men where they are today. Very few women know the taste of intoxicants until some man teaches them. Often the man who teaches is one from whom the woman could naturally expect nothing but good. ‘That “each man kills the thing he loves” is a horrible. dic: Che Woman Wha Brinks By BERTHA V.

He was one of the class who pride themselves upon making “pals” of their wives. “She's a jolly good fel- low,” he boasted. “Before I met her she was one of: these shy little convent girls, who had never been inside a cafe in her life. T had to teach her what a good dinner means, how to sharpen her appetite with a good cocktail—how to live.” Now one of the chief charges against his “good fellow” wife and erstwhile shy little convent girl, is that she’s too fond of the flowing bowl—all the other faults that make life with her impossible to her husband, result from this one that he taught her with so much pride. Girls who acknowledge that they “just hate the stuff? are drawn into sipping it with apparent rclish 80 as to escape the certain accusa- tion of being prudish, or old-fogyish. “I made it a rule, when we were first married, never to frown or find fault with any of my husband’s little bad habits.

A committee consisting of the A. M. E. Clergy of Denver and Pueblo will co-operate with the pastor and local committee of Payne Chapel, Colorado Springs, to give Father Rice the greatest tribute of love and respect he has ever seen in the long years of a useful life devoted to his race. He has served his generation as a minister, soldier and civilian and in each and all of these positions his life has been a benediction to his people. Now if one grand effort on our part can make him feel that a godly life and fatherly council is appreciated by the younger men among us, and if such appreciation transmitted in tangible form can so relieve his mind and inspire him that he will live to round out years; then we expect to see him enter his centennial year. A banquet will be served in Payne Chapel, Colorado Springs, November 20, 1907 at 8 p. m. Some of the leading ministers and laymen of the Colorado Conference will make speeches on that occasion.

WEICHHAN Denver, Cole Denver, Colorado PHONE MAIN 8220 Denver, Colorado COAL MINERS ASK A RAISE. If Demands Are Not Met There May be Strike in Colorado Florence, Colo.—The coal mine workers of Rockvale, Coal Creek and Fremont assembled in the Rockvale opera house and formulated and presented the following demand upon the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company: "First—An eight-hour day, with the present wages of $2.95 now received for ten hours. "Second—Fifteen cents per ton increase on the mining for which they are now receiving 85 cents. "Third—Two dollars per yard for brushing or taking down top in the rooms for which they are at present receiving $1.50." They also demanded a check weighman whose place shall be in the weigh office where he can check up the weight of each miner's coal. This is a movement of he employees exclusively and is absolutely independent of any labor organization. While the men are mostly union members, they could not agree upon a scale of increase as an organization, because of the friction occurring between the United Mine Workers and the Western Federation of Miners, both of which wanted control. The three mines which are threatened with a strike employ about 1,000 men. There is a possibility of the employees getting the increase, as many of them are leaving for other mining camps where the work is steady and the wages higher. At the present time all of these mines are falling below their normal production of coal, owing to the lack of men, and it is believed that the company rather than suffer a further loss will grant the increase. A Point in Law. Denver.—Whether the state has a right to acquire water rights is the substance of a question which the State Land Board has submitted to Attorney General Dickson. The attorney general will look up the law at an early date, as the board has many applications for reservoir sites, etc., the applicants agreeing to pay for same in water rights instead of cash, as the board uniformly demands. The recent application of the Orlando Land and Water Company for a large tract of land in Pueblo county for reservoir purposes has brought the matter definitely before the board. This company would like to transfer water rights for each alternate section. Propositions of a similar nature but involving smaller amounts of land are constantly coming before the board, and it frequently happens that the acquisition of water rights would be of direct benefit to the state, enabling it to command higher prices for its lands. Now, Teddy, Will You Be Good. Bloomington, Ill.—Nearly 300 delegates at the convention of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs here heard from Mrs. Adalie Stevenson, wife of the former vice president, the "humane" side of the race suicide argument. "There is no thoughtful woman in America," said Mrs. Stevenson, "who has not been more than startled by the appeal for larger families. While this appeal has been most urgent, I do not recall that there has been one word in reference to the health or life of the mother, nor has the ability of the mother physically, mentally, morally spiritually or financially to rear children been touched upon. "The question should not be how many children, but their condition and what kind of citizens they will make. The plea that some thought should be given to prolonging the life of the mother and thus protect the babes, should occupy first place in the work of mother clubs. The size of the family is of less importance." Mining Congress Delegates Named. Denver.—Gov. Buchtel appointed the delegates to the next annual convention of the American Mining congress to be held at Joplin, Missouri, November 11th to 16th, as follows: Ex-Gov. Jesse F. McDonald, Leadville; William Lennox, Colorado Springs; A. E. Reynolds, Denver; Gen. Bulkeley Wells, Telluride; E. J. Wilcox, Denver; W. J. Cox, Ouray; W. G.

Egeria Coal Land Case Settled. Denver.—The State Land Board has settled the Egeria Park coal lease matter. A new lease for ten years for that part of the land which had been developed or improved was granted to the Colorado Coal & Lumber Company at an increased rental. This Egeria land matter is a legacy from Register Mark Woodruff, who was relieved from duty by the Republican administration a year ago. Woodruff undertook to grant a forty-year extension to the Egeria Coal Company. This fraud was discovered by Register John F. Vivian, Woodruff's successor, and immediately on its discovery the matter was made public and steps were taken to cancel the extension, and the present board did make the cancellation without hesitation. Japanese Getting Wise. Washington—Mail advises from China show that British residents in the Far East have been stirred to indignation by the attempts of Japanese distillers to palm off spurious "Scotch" whisky upon Europeans in Japan. The favorite brands of the English colonists are turned out in quantities at Osaka and when the effort was made to secure the punishment of the persons perpetrating the fraud, though the facts were admitted that the purpose was to deceive the foreigners, the accused were acquitted, in the Japanese courts, on the grounds that the labels were not similar to the genuine Scotch whisky labels. LAKE HORROR CLAIMS CREW TWENTY-TWO MEN GO DOWN II RAGING STORM ON TREACH- EROUS LAKE SUPERIOR. BUT ONE LIVES TO TELL STEAMER CYPRUS IS TOSSED ABOUT UPON THE WAVES, THEN DASHED TO PIECES. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.—Bound from the head of the lakes on the second trip she has made since being launched at Lorain, Ohio, on August 17th last, the fine steel freighter Cyprus, 440 feet long, owned by the Lackawanna Transportation Company, foundered October 12th in Lake Superior, off Deer Park, taking down with her twenty-two members of the crew. Second Mate C. J. Pitt, washed ashore lashed to a life raft, is the only person left alive of the ship's people, and his condition is so critical since he was found on the beach he has only been able to gasp out the name of the sunken ship and the fact that twenty-two lives were lost. Pitt is suffering from the dreadful exposure in the icy waters of Lake Superior, in addition to the buffeting he received from the breakers. Until he has recovered sufficiently to talk the story of the wreck and the exact cause of the stout steel ship foundering will not be definitely known. Deer Park is about thirty miles south of Grand Marais on the shore of Lake superior. Several bodies from the wreck have washed ashore and two are known to be those of the first mate and watchman. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.—Recovering consciousness after hours of constant nursing, the second mate of the Cyprus gave a graphic account of the last moments of the crew on board the ill-fated vessel. The mate said that the Cyprus was making fairly good weather in the storm, when suddenly the cargo shifted, giving the craft a heavy list. This was about 7 p. m., when the vessel was off Deer Park, in the regular course of vessels bound up and down. Water began pouring in the hatches, and a panic ensued, many of the crew putting on life preservers. Captain Huyick, however, felt confident that he could reach shelter behind Whitefish Point, and the boats were not lowered. Both engine and pumps were working, and the crew felt sure the vessel would not sink without warning. But suddenly the big freighter rolled over on her side and almost instantly plunged to the bottom. When the vessel rolled over, the first and second mates, a watchman and wheelman were close to a life raft, which they cut loose and cast off in time to escape the whirlpool caused by the Cyprus. Until 2 a. m. the four men clung to their trail support while the waves drove them toward shore. Five times in the angry surf the raft was upset, the men each time having to fight the heavy undertow for their lives. Each fight weakened the benumbed and heartened sailors and after the fifth battle with the surf only one of the quartet remained upon the raft. The vessel lies in nineteen cathoms of water, and those who were caught in the vessel will probably never be heard from. Nine bodies in all have been recovered. There seems now to be little doubt that the sinking of the Cyprus was due directly to the failure of the captain and crew of the wrecked vessel to cover the hatches with canvas designed for that purpose. The story of the second mate, Pitt, confirms largely the theory of loss given out today by Captain Harbottle of the Pittsburg Steamship Company's steamer Stephenson, the last vessel to sight the Cyprus before she sank. This means that the Cyprus took in so much water through her uncovered hatches that her pumps were unable to carry it off. Lightning and a Hat. The bolt of lightning from a clear sky which killed a horse during a race at the Norristown, Pa., Driving club park, the other day lifted Andrew H. Roop's hat straight up five feet and returned it to his head again with the force which sent it down over his ears.

Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back paled me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting palms. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The Kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Millburn C., Buffalo, N. Y. A REAL "HOSS" RACE. Country Fair the Place to See It at Its Best. If you would see a horse strapped, booted, braced and geared to the limit, you must seek such a track as you see at the old-time country fair. Here comes an awkward flea-bitten gray which never went under 2:50 in his life. He is hobbled and checked and goggled, and hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and crosswise until there is more harness than horse. You wonder how his driver ever got him into this rigging, and how he will get him out again without cutting him free with a jackknife. A farmer with a gray beard and twinkling eye observes to his neighbor: "Last time John Martin had that plug out on the road I told him he had the old cripple overloaded with fust-aids-to-the-injured. The straps that was ca'lated to hoist up his knees must ha' pulled too tight and the critter was yanked clean off the ground. What John was gettin' ready for was a race for flyin' machines, not a hoss trot."—From "The Country Fair," by David Lansing, in Outing. GIVING HIM A CHANCE. Surely Time for Hubby to Do a Lively Sidestep. Mrs. Wilson's husband was often obliged to go to New York on business, and frequently did not reach his home until the arrival of the midnight train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the habit of sleeping peacefully at these times without fear, but a number of burglaries in the neighborhood during one of her husband's trips to New York had disturbed her calm. On the night of his return Mr. Wilson was stealing carefully up the front stairs, as was his wont on such occasions, so that his wife would not be wakened, when he heard her voice, high and strained: "I don't know whether you are my husband or a burglar," came the excited tones, "but I am going to be on the safe side and shoot, so if you are Henry you'd better get out of the way."—Youth's Companion. Bible Names for Colts. A hostler from the Blue Grass has just found employment in one of the stables of a New York man. His darky dialect is so quaint and his stories of "Ole Kaintuck" so unique no member of the household misses an opportunity to speak to him and have him say a word. His employer said to him a few days ago: "I suppose your master down south had a good many horses?" "Dat we did, sah, dat we did! And my ole master had 'em all name Bible names. Faith, Hope and Charity, Bustle, Stays and Crinoline, was all one Spring's colts!" Wagner as a Curative Agent. Vernon Lee has told somewhere the story of the marvelous effects of Wagner on a headache. One does, after a time, succumb to what is a kind of hypnotism; the sound seems almost to clear the air, or at least to lull one into a kind of dream in which only the sense of hearing exists. A woman has lost her chief attraction for a man when he ceases to wonder what she will do next. Well Qualified. "So you want the position of advance agent for our circus?" interrogated the manager. "Well, we need a man who can stir up some life everywhere he goes." "That's me, boss," hastened the applicant. "Had any experience in stirring up life?" "You bet! I used to drive a street sweeper and stirred up millions of germs every day." THE KISS IN JAPAN. One Western Idea That Is Popular with Eastern Maidens. She was a Japanese college student, little and thin, but very graceful in her Paris gown. "The kiss," she said, blushing faintly, "was unknown in Japan 50 years ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it is becoming quite renowned. "Yet it comes as a great shock at first. It is so different, you know, from anything in a Japanese girl's experience. I have known maidens who fainted at a first kiss that was perhaps too warmly tendered. Yet these very maids became afterward ardent advocates of the new western embrace. "Frankly, I like the kiss myself. Its stimulus, and the feeling, as of red satin, when mouth touches mouth with a warm, soft shock—yes, frankly, I like the kiss, and I find it extremely difficult to deny an eager young man so innocent and so delightful lightful an embrace. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON. In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905." SEEK TO WIN SOLDIERS. Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause of Liberty. "When the university opened last autumn I started to work again among the soldiers," said the young woman. "As you know, the revolutionists are at present working very hard to win over the army, and one of the means is to talk freedom directly to the soldiers. For this girls have been found to be more effective than men; the young peasant soldiers are more willing to listen to girls, and are far readier to protect them from arrest. So all over Russia hundreds and hundreds of girls are now nightly meeting with groups of soldiers, in working men's homes and in barracks. To go into barracks and talk revolution to the soldiers, hardly anything is so dangerous—for the girl caught is tried by court-martial and in a day or two is executed.—From Leroy Scott's Interview with a Russian Woman, in Everybody's. Didn't Need Cyclopedias. The canvasser for a cyclopedia came to the home of a colonel, whose record he had carefully studied before his visit. The colonel was especially proud of some of his sonu, so the canvasser began with: "Those are very fine boys of yours, colonel." "They are," replied the colonel. "I reckon you are ready to buy anything those boys want?" "I am so," said the father of the fine boys. "Well, then, let me sell you this cyclopedia. There's nothing will do your sons so much good." But the colonel looked at him aghast. "Why, them lads of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride mules!" A little city boy and his sister Dorothy were taken to the country for the first time. The two children were happy as the day was long. In the late afternoon they watched the cows come home, heard with delight the tinkling cow-bells, and the little boy even went in the barns to see the milking done. At supper, just as Dorothy was lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the boy cried out: "Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't drink that milk. It's not fit to drink. It came out of a cow. I saw it!" Never look upon your work as a refuge from thought, but express your thought in your work.—Phillips Brooks. COLORADO NEWS ITEMS The Colorado coal trust is to be further investigated by Uncle Sam. Mayor F. P. Hunt of Delta, killed himself on account of domestic trouble. Prowers county is rapidly coming to the front in the production of a splendid grade of draft horses and mules. Cattle shipments from Routt county are greater this year than ever before in the history of that section of the state. A Longmont man claims the best seventy-acre wheat field in the state His crop runs about eighty bushels to the acre. For the first time in a great many years Custer county finds itself entirely out of debt and with a snug balance in the treasury. More fall wheat than ever before in the history of the district has been planted this year in the Cache La Poure and Boxelder valleys. Two Canon City men think that the town of Radiate is properly named. They have just made a big strike of a rich coal find in that place. Yampa is confident that the first train into the town will be seen by June 1, 1908. Scarcity of labor is delaying work on the Moffat road. Pueblo is banking largely on the benefits that the proposed mammoth car shops of the Gould system will be to that thriving manufacturing center. A South Platte valley farmer last year cleared $62 per acre on his beets without handling the beet himself, and expects to duplicate this record this year. Yampa is now a thriving town of some 400 people. At this time next year they expect to have a population of 2,000 and are making preparations along this line. Cache La Poudre sheep feeders are talking of forming a company and of buying a big tract of land in eastern Colorado where they plan to start a big sheep ranch. Good progress is being made on the new Cripple Creek tunnel and over 800 feet have already been bored. Contractors say that progress will be much faster from this time on. The right of way for the proposed new interurban electric line has been secured almost the entire distance from Canon City to La Junta. Work is soon to begin on the project. Confident that the opening of Routt county by the railroads will be followed by a great boom and rush of settlers, Yampa is figuring on putting in its own water plant and electric lighting system. Three big discoveries of a fine quality of coal have been made in the Florence field within the last few days. The coal is of commercial quality and big forces of men will be put at work mining it. Twenty-two thousand acres of sugar beets were grown in the Greeley, Eaton and Windsor districts this year, and the yield will be about 330,000 tons. The beet will average about fifteen tons to the acre. Representative business men of Salida and Chaffee county have subscribed $50,000 to the capital stock of a new banking system institution which will open in Salida about November 1st. Eugene H. Grubb of Carpondale, known the length and breadth of the state of Colorado, is wearing the "smile that won't come off." His potato crop alone netted him about $10,000 this year. The last spike in the new Denver and Great Western railroad, which connects Windsor and Loveland, Johnstown and Longmont, has been driven and trains are now running regularly over the road. Experiments in Fremont county have shown that the Spanish peanut can be grown very successfully in that vichity. If we could only grow lemons what a place Colorado would be for the circus man. A Conejos county farmer living near Alamosa this year harvested 800 large shocks of pea hay from four acres of land. He grew the hay without irrigation and this crop alone paid a nice profit on his original investment. Potato growers in and around Glenwood springs are gazing at their bank books with a great deal of satisfaction these days. A number of them are figuring on European trips in order to get rid of some of the surplus cash. John W. Springer has just purchased a new 16-ton, 25-horse power engine, a gang plow of 18 plows, and is busily engaged in turning over 1,000 acres on his Jefferson county ranch all of which will be under cultivation next year. Encouraged by the splendid profits made in potatoes this year, the farmers of Roaring Fork section near Glenwood Springs will materially increase their acreage next year. Yields of 250 sacks to the acre have been made in that vicinity. The manufacture of white paper out of sugar beet pulp is one of the new industries that may be expected to develop in Colorado within the next few years. Experiments have shown that a very good quality of paper can be made out of the pulp. To prevent a waste of water by seepage, a number of northern Colorado men are building cement ditches and dikes. These are only the fore-runners of thousands of more ditches of the same kind that will be constructed in Colorado before many years. The directors of the Montrozoma Company, which is running the Famous tunnel near Aspen, have decided to raise $250,000 to build a mill, develop water power and work the mines on Beteoite, Famous and Richmond hills through the tunnel. The people of Aspen believe that this is the beginning of a new era of prosperity in that section of the state. There was left in the Herald office at Boulder the largest radish the editor ever saw. In fact, he would never have believed it was possible to raise a radish that large. It was red, is sixteen inches long and seventeen inches in circumference. It was raised on North Twenty-sixth street by E. M. Miller and can be seen at the Herald office. It is, indeed, a curiosity. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

MONROE DRUG CO., Quincy, Illinois RHEUMATISM RECIPE RHEUMATISM RECIPE PREPARE SIMPLE HOME-MADE MIxture YOURSELF. A well-known authority on Rheumatism gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandellon, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being a vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the drummists will mix the prescription if asked to. Willing Hands. There is a good story going the rounds in Pittsburg of a young man, formerly a stock-broker, who dropped many thousands in speculation during the carly spring. One night, shortly after going to bed, the Pittsburg was awakened by strange signs. At his first motion to jump up he was greeted by a hoarse voice. "If you stir, you're a dead man!" it said. "I'm looking for money." "In that case," pleasantly answered the erstwhile speculator, "kindly allow me to arise and strike a light. I shall deem it a favor to be permitted to assist in the search."—Harper's Weekly. 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. What's in a Name? "Old Amy, you know, who is famous for being arrested, has been sent to jail again. But as she weighs nearly 300 pounds and is a good fighter, it took nearly all the reserve force to get her in the wagon." "Then the magistrate who sent her to jail ought to be arrested, too." "Why so?" "Didn't he commit big Amy?"—Baltimore American. Deafness Cannot Be Cured Dearness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis- sposed portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure it, by using a hearing aid. Dearness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- pression in the ear. Dearness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases have been reported of this condition and an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Dearness caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circuitrals, free. Sold by Drugmaster, 750 CHENYE & CO., Toledo, O.

It is rumored that skunk is to be amongst the furs of our fashionable fancy, whilst there is some talk of flat boas made of sealskin, lined with ermine, sharing our regard with the sable tie. And now a word concerning the costumes displayed in the illustration at the head of our letter. The first is a dress of grace and beauty, in the glorious shade of cerise, its cleverly combined fabrics being chiffon. "let net, and appliques of cloth with borderings of soft satin. A softening touch of white comes in the finely tucked chiffon and net of the chemisette and undersleeves, and the huge black hat, crowned by many sweeping ostrich feathers, and having its brim lined with cerise satin. is a fitting accompaniment of the toilet. The second dress is of soft gray cloth, the corsage arranged with a square effect in front and becoming cross-over folds at the back, all edged with silken grelottes. A chemisette of tucked white net and lace with a diminutive black bow tie comes above a vest of tawny orange velvet embroidered in greens and gold; while the hat is of the soft gray with quilts curving all over the crown, and a brim lining of black satin. The tailor is looking forward to a rich harvest. All the coats and skirts, and these represent the style of gown which prevails ubiquitously, show the marks of his handiwork, and as I predicted some time ago, every coat is long and well below the hips, some reaching to the knees, while others are even longer. Waistcoats made separately are having some consideration, and these are not always sleeveless, as is the habit of waistcoats. Every material is used to make them, satin being of paramount importance in the scheme. A dark green velvet coat and skirt owe much to the waistcoat of waterblue velvet, and a no less successful combination is a purple cloth dress with a waistcoat of peach colored velvet. Some of the long straight coats exhibit sleeves of a different material, the waistcoat being made to match these, and a coat of dark brown velvet looks extremely smart with satin sleeves and vest, the indispensable braid binding putting in its appearance round armholes and hems. This binding of braid is the rule, in silk for the most part, and it is found decorating alike the costume of cloth and the costume of velvet, which owns its cheaper, though scarcely less effective, rival in the costume of velveteen. Many of the velvets have a miroir surface, a virtue the manufacturers have also accorded to the velveteen, which may boast of one decided novelty, stripes of equal sizes about one-third of an inch in breadth. This is to be seen in every possible combination of dark colors, the most popular of all the velveteens being black and brown stripes and black and molegray stripes, and these make the smartest costumes bound with silken braid, fashioned in the simplest style, with small sleeves reaching to the wrists, and a step-collar and rounded ends to the cutaway front. Sometimes these coats are fitted with cloth waistcoats of some contrasting color, buff for choice, and under all circumstances the small V left at the neck by the cutting of the collar is filled in with a jabot cravat of hem-stitched lawn depending from a collar band, and shaped higher at the back than in the front, with a little goffered frill outlining the chin. Frilling, by the way, is a revival we have not welcomed for about 15 years, when no costume for morning or afternoon wear was complete without a frilling round the neck and sleeve. This, however, was wont to be made of lisse. Before the days when chiffon ousted it from the position of prime favor amongst diaphanous fabrics, the making of lisse frilling was quite an important industry, and hundreds of different patterns were at our disposal. The little rolled frilling, such as generally associate with the widow's cap, is worn now round the neck and sleeves of afternoon gowns, and other frillings show three rows of very tiny killings very closely stitched together. The main attraction of this new order is that it compels the collarband to be shaped accurately to the line of the neck, extending higher at the back than the front, and forming a sort of frame to the face eminently becoming and attractive, and specially so to the bell-shaped hat. Somehow this bell-shaped hat seems to need some such aid for its best conduct. The bell-shaped hat makes a further bold bid for success in beaver, felt, velvet and silk. The latest idea is to line the inside brim with a contrasting color, white, rose-pink, and pale blue all being used for such purposes in hats of brown or mole gray, or purple, while for further trimming there is a large loose crown of silk tied at one side, or a crown covered Johanna Carin BOLERO OF IRISH LACE.

What a Woman Did There is much to be said against the New York cabby, but there are frequent occasions when one is really deserving of sympathy. The other day a cabby drove a well-dressed and refined-looking woman to a Broadway restaurant where she ordered an expensive lunch and then told the waiter that she had lost her purse, but that her cab was waiting, and if he would send a boy with her she would go home for the money. The boy entered the cab with her, and she directed the cabby to drive to a Sixth avenue department store. When they arrived she left the boy in the cab, entred the store to make an imaginary purchase and went out at the opposite entrance. In the hope of getting information about his departed fare, cabby drove back to the restaurant, accompanied by the brass-buttoned boy, whom he blackguarded all the way for letting the woman escape. The restaurant people discharged the lad for the same reason, and the driver cried quits. SHELBUN & CARUTH, Proprietors. SUPERIOR SERVICE. PRIVATE DINING ROOM 1922 LAWRENCE ST.

Numberless Dainties in Which They Can Be Utilized to Excellent Advantage—How Some of Them are Made. With the shelves well filled with this season's jams, jellies and preserves, what to do with left over condiments from last year is a problem that confronts the housewife. They are far too good to give away, for they represent much time and considerable expense. There are numberless dainties that can be made, utilizing these jams and jellies of last year's make, and here are a few that should appeal to one and all. One of the simplest ways of using up jams is to make a pie crust and line a dozen individual cake tins with the pastry, put in the oven and cook to a golden brown. When this crust is cold fill the individuals with jam, and add to each a heaping tablespoonful of whipped cream or make a meringue and set in the oven to brown. This is a very popular French dessert, and to the person who loves pastry it is a great relief from the regulation pie. Another simple and pretty dessert is made by putting a layer of jelly or jam in the bottom of a glass dish, over this pour a little boiled taploca pudding, then another layer of the jelly. Served from a glass dish this is a very attractive dessert. French Pancakes—A dessert much liked, particularly by the male element. To make these take one pint of milk, two eggs, one tablespoon of sugar, one cup of flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder, one cup of cream, pinch of salt. Sift the flour, powder and salt together, add to it the eggs beaten with the sugar and diluted with the milk and cream, mix into thin batter. Pour about a half a cup of the batter on a large frying pan, put on hot fire and when well done spread with any kind of preserves, roll up, sift over them plenty of sugar and glaze with a red-hot poker. Blackberry Jam Cake—One cup of dark brown sugar, one-half cup butter, three eggs, three tablespoons sour milk, one teaspoon of soda, one cup of jam, two cups of flour, two teaspoons of cinnamon, one-half grated nutmeg. Bake in two jelly pans and put together with white icing. Fruit Charlotte—Line the bottom of a $ \ast $ mold with white paper and the sides with split lady fingers or pieces of sponge cake. Next soak one ounce of gelatine in a half pint of cold water. When soft place on the fire until dissolved. Press one quart of any canned fruit through a sieve and add one cup of powdered sugar. When the gelatine is cold mix with the fruit and sugar, add one pint of whipped cream sweetened to taste, pour into the lined mold and place on the ice. This should be eaten very cold. Fruit Roll Pudding—One pint or flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one large spoonful sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one tablespoon butter, milk or water to moisten. Work this as little as possible and make into a soft biscuit dough. Divide into five parts, pat flat, lay two tablespoonfuls of any tart jelly or preserves on each and roll. Place in a pan and pour over them the following sauce: One tablespoon of butter, one cup of sugar, cream together; then add a pint of boiling water, stir and pour over the rolls; bake until done. This is really a delicious dessert. Jam Pudding—To make this pudding take three eggs, one cup of sugar and one cup of any jam, preferably rather tart, half a cup of butter, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in hot water, and half a cup of sour milk. Mix with enough sifted flour to make a batter not quite as stiff as for cake. This should be baked in shallow tins and served very hot with the following sauce: Two-thirds of a cup of sugar, butter the size of a large walnut, two tablespoonfuls of hot water and one egg. Cream all of this together and set over a pan of hot water and cook a few minutes until it is the consistency of thick cream. Poached Eggs on Spinach. Thoroughly wash some spinach in plenty of cold water. Lift out of water and put into pot with only the water that adheres from washing, and boil till tender, usually ten to fifteen minutes. When tender, strain and mince on a board very finely, adding pepper, salt, sprinkle of flour and one teaspoonful of brown sugar. Heat a frying pan, put in about one ounce of butter, and when hot add the spinach. Stir and thorough y heat through. Serve in hot dish with poached eggs on top. New Wall Papers. Striking colors do not seem to be favorite in the new wall papers shown. The soft pastel shades predominate and it is notable that very little gold decoration is used. There is an imitation of hand-tooled leather which is very good to look at, extremely modish for certain rooms, and costs ever so much less than the real leather. Japanese grasscloth, imitation burlap and the real burlap are also an excellent choice for rooms not to be furnished in light delicate furniture. To Serve Unexpected Guest. If you have a small allowance of meat or vegetables cut them up, put in cream gravy, and serve on toast. In this way the dish goes much farther and is better liked.—Inez Griswold.
