THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY BEN TILLMAN His Address on the Negro Problem was Sandwiched with His Usual Abuse of the Negro which has been Refuted With Sharp Criticism. VOL. XIV. BEN TH His Address on the Negro Problem Abuse of the Negro w With Shar The Rocky Mountain News of last Sunday, Oct., 27th, contained two communications replying to Senator Tillman's lecture delivered at the First Baptist church in this city, October 25th. Roy E. Handy, one of Denver's brightest young men, ably defended the Negro in a lengthy and logical article, which for lack of space, forbids us to reproduce. The other by S. H. Hobson, is as follows: "To The Rocky Mountain News: "No one who heard Senator Ben Tillman at the First Baptist church last Friday night was surprised at his radical remarks on the race question, for he has long since realized that to gain notoriety he must confine his language to the abuse of the Negro, for which he generally makes a "hit" at least with those of the low type of humanity. He spoke of the outrages on white women by black men and asked, 'Does anyone wonder that we kill Negroes?' "Senator Tillman, the one-eyed Negro hater, has no doubt forgotten that for nearly two and a half centuries the white man preyed upon the virtue of black women of the South. He has likewise forgotten that while the Southern white man was fighting against the flag under which he now enjoys liberty that their wives and daughters were left in the care and under the protection of black men, and a case is yet to be reported where the Negro has betrayed a single trust. "Yes, and it was the Negro that responded to the call of the nation and helped win the victory in the civil war which made this country a united republic and broke the shackles which bound the black man in hellish bondage for 250 years. "In his opening remarks, the senator said: 'I am a white man's white man.' I do not wish to misconstrue his meaning, but the quotation is a strong vindication of the Negroes lust for white woman. You cannot find a white man (even though born of a Negro woman) that is not a white man's white man. You can also observe that there are plenty of Negroes that are offsprings of white men. Which is the worst destroyer of woman's virtue, the black man or white man? Evidence answers the question without argument. "If every white man who has outraged Negro women had been put to death, I doubt if a one-eyed Tillman would be disgracing a seat in the United States senate. "In many cases the Negroes whom the senator says are put to death by white men for assaulting white women are their own children—that is, offsprings of the white man. "In his addresses Senator Tillman only stirs up strife between the races, and the sooner his series of lectures are ended the better. TILLMAN AND THE NEGRO. The following editorial appeared in the Rocky Mountain News of October 28th. The News does not hold the opinions, or rather prejudices, which Senator Tillman voices on the race question. But if we held each and every one of the senator's tenets we should still protest in the sharpest manner against his speech in this city Friday evening, and against all other speeches of the same character. For whatever be the proper solution of the race problem—and The News has none to offer—it can assuredly never be settled by any appeal to the prejudices, the passions, the baser instincts of our nature. And Senator Tillman's speech, from start to finish, appealed to nothing else. There was not one word of scientific marshalling of fact, nor one sentence that showed the slightest care for the thruths of history, not one that seemed to recognize that in a problem dealing with human beings, the moral aspect of the case must be considered. No. It was a mere tirade of abuse, invective and insult; abuse and insult not only of the Negro race, but of all who venture to dispute the gospel of Tillman on the destiny of the sons of Canaan. Senator Tillman condemns the Negro preacher whose half crazy rhapsodies rouse the passions of his race, and set them beating with futile hands against the unbreakable wall of white dominion. And in this, he does rightly. But what condemnation does that man deserve, who, with all the centuries of Caucasian culture and discipline behind him, goes to and fro in the land making speeches as intemperate, as violent as much inciting to blood and riot as any that can be laid to the most ignorant blacks of the South? And such is Tillman, as his own words abundantly prove. He is doing all in his power to rouse a hatred that shall make justice and decency impossible, and that, in defiance of law and right and the plainest expediency, shall bring the great, complex, terrible, heartbreaking race problem to the arbitrament of power. It is a crime and a blunder in one—and both are colossal. We do not know whether Tillman has posed so long with a pitchfork in his hand that he feels compelled to make hay of sense and decency, for the sake of being consistent, or whether his prejudices on this subject have finally and completely obeyed his reason. But this we do know: that he is showing himself as dangerous an enemy to his own race as to the blacks whom he lashes so bitterly; and if the race problem is ever brought to a satisfactory settlement, it will be in spite of the Tillman tirades, not because of them. THE MUSIC OF THE WEST --- Lucas REV. DR. ALZAMON IRA LUCAS. Rev. Dr. Alzamon Ira Lucas, the man of whom Rev. H. W. Pinkham said Senator Tillman was unfair to, replied to Tillman in a three and one-half hours' speech, October 29th, in the Howe hall, which was crowded to its fullest capacity. gated a number Tillman admirer, factory and gentle in which his quest swered by the speeclusively that the h in the hearts of against the Negro The very able and logical manner in which he defended the black race was highly appreciated by the audience, which applauded him vigorously. Doctor Lucas is quite well posted on the race problem and offered many wise suggestions for its solution, and from the judgment of the unbiased individual, Senator Tillman's views on the race problem was clearly shown that prepudice was his only foundation. In the course of his address, Doctor Lucas was interro- Memphis, Tenn., October 19.—Chancellor Heiskell today granted an injunction enjoining Negroes from belonging to a lodge, alleged to be copying the work of the Elks; from holding meetings, using the name for title of Elks; using any of the ritualistic signs, or performing any of the ritualistic work. Amsterdam.—The Netherlands government has conferred a unique distinction on a colored private named Pongo, of the colonial army for conspicuous bravery in the field. Pongo was made a knight of the military order of William, which is equivalent to the British Victoria Cross. The motto of this order, which is held by only thirteen members of the Indian army, mostly officers of high rank is "For valor and faithfulness," only. Pongo is the first Negro soldier to achieve the distinction of the full order. Lucas gated a number of times by a Tillman admirer, and the satisfactory and gentlemanly manner in which his questions were answered by the speaker, proved conclusively that the hatred that exists in the hearts of some people against the Negro is wholly and solely on account of his color. At the close of his address, Doctor Lucas was heartily congratulated and commended. We will but add that Doctor Lucas has won a warm place in the hearts of those who believe in justice and liberty to all, regardless of race creed or color. There are many who will be glad to know that Doctor Lucas has decided to repeat the same address especially to all the darker races in the near future. --- Let Afro-Americans open places of accommodation for the benefit of the general public and not for the exclusive accommodation of no one class. It's not to play even that such places exist, but to demonstrate that the drawing of the color line is not essential to the success of any business enterprise. Andrew Carnegie and Lord Rosebery gave to a big audience at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh, their views on the Negro problem in the United States. Mr. Carnegie strongly championed the Negroes, contended that the Negro was a saving man, with land hunger, and repudiated the idea that the Negro is lazy. The question used to be what can be done with the Negroes, but now it is how more of them and other workers can be obtained. The Negro has become of immense economic value and is indispensible. Nevertheless, Mr. Carnegie admitted that the Negro problem is yet unsolved. A few days ago at the 'Frisco tracks in Fort Scott, Kans, was the biggest man in the world. He is known as "Baby Jim" Simmons, a Negro, who weighs 750 pounds. There are but few who will believe that any human being could attain such a great weight unless they chanced to see this mastodon. One glimpse at the monster, however, allays all doubt as to the man's enormous physical proportions. Every one who saw his massiveness went away telling himself that the Negro weighed nearer a ton than the weight before given. "Jim" Simmons was accompanying W. R. MacBurnett, a theatrical circus man, to St. Joseph. The monster lives at Beaumont, Texas. He occupied the two seats in the smokerand slept all the time from early morning until 9 o'clock; though there was a constant stream of people scrambling through the car to see him. Efforts to wake the Negro were unsuccessful. He remained there snoring loudly and also breathing heavily. Finally his manager came through the car, cleaned out the curious ones and took his big one to the vestibule to give him an airing. A newspaper man was admitted to converse with the mastodon for a few minutes. Simmons said he was 20 years of age, that his parents were both small, though his grandparents each weighed over the 300 mark. He says he does not eat or drink any more than the average sized man, and that he enjoys the best of health, his heart behaving in a most satisfactory manner He NO. 6. is but 69 inches tall, and is "further around than up and down," to use a small boy's expression. POLITICAL PULSE-BEATS The Western Enterprise, edited by Eugene P. Booze of Colorado Springs, contained the following very timely editorial in its last week's issue: Political developments, national and local, are acquainting party leaders and candidates with what must seem to them, astonishing facts in regard to the Negro's political mind. He has never been given credit for thinking or for doing much in the way of drawing comparisons. "Blindly Republican" has been the Negro's denomination, and this is largely true as between Republican and Democrat, but where the rub comes is in struggles between Republicans within the party. Contending sentiments for Roosevelt, Taft, Foraker, etc., illustrate this nationally and the approaching campaign in this state is going to open many Colorado eyes to the same condition. Negro leaders and journals have repeatedly given warning of the Negro's awakening to his party worth and interests and have declared that he is too cheaply held by those directing affairs. Little heed has been given this, and they continued on in fancied security. Nevertheless, it is a fact which an early future is going to uncover, that the Negro is awake and on the alert, and is going to throw his strength where there comes nearest being a just recognition of his services. It has about reached the point that the Negro has decided to live politically as well as otherwise, in the present and future, and not so much in the past. Experience is finally about to make even the black man wise. POINTED PARAGRAPHS If a man has but one shirt he never owes a big wash bill. The mantle of charity is soon worn threadbare by a hypocrite.

Taskend, Russia.—Karatagh, a town in the province of Bokhara, the wickedest section of country in the world, has been stricken from the face of the earth. A mountain, riven by an earthquake, toppled over on the town and buried its population of 1,500 people in one vast grave. According to dispatches received here, the Russian governor and his mother were among the few who escaped. Bokhara is a khanate of Central Asia and a vassal of Russia. Its people are fanatical Mohammedans, who, preserving a rigorous observation of the outward forms of their religion, are addicted as a whole to horrible vices, and the utmost moral corruption prevails. The few Europeans who have visited the country other than the Russian rulers, have called it the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, and state that all the vices of the East and West flourish there. Its women are more degraded than in any other Mohammedan country, although the province is distinguished from others in Russian Turkestan by its Mohammedan schools. Follows Earthquake. The destruction of Karatagh followed the great earthquake of October 21st. This temblor was registered in the observatories of the world, but its place of being has not been known for the reason that the country is remotely situated, it requiring a full week for news to get out by courier. Karatagh is situated in the Hussar district, is noted for its manufacture of sabers, cutlery and fine silks, and is located at an elevation of 2,500 feet above the level of the sea. Bokhara formerly occupied considerably more territory than now, having been reduced by the conquests and encroachments of Russia, which have been only partially compensated by some additions. Its present area is about 32,000 square miles miles. The country is to a great extent occupied by deserts and low and naked ranges of mountains, and the cultivated portions of it are confined to the valleys of the rivers, especially the Oxus or Amoo Daria, which forms the southern boundary for a considerable distance. Bokhara is in no part more than 1,100 feet above the level of the sea, but in the extreme east is mountainous. The total population amounts to about 2,250,000, and consists of the Uzbbooks, who are the ruling race, and to whom the emir belongs; the Tajiks, who form the majority of the capital; the Kırghizes, less numerous than the Tajiks; about 60,000 Arablans, descendants of the soldiers who were brought into the country by the third calligraphy of Bagdad on the occasion of the conquest of Turkestan; Persians, who have chiefly been brought as slaves to Bokhara; Turcomans, Hindus, and about 10,000 Jews, who live in the towns beyond the protection of the law. Bokhara, the capital, which is the center of Tartar civilization, is ill built, and has a gloomy aspect, and in luxury of dress and mode of living is far behind the times of western Asia. Naval Battle Between Comrades. Vladivostok.—An exciting Little naval battle took place in this harbor today between the mutinous crew of a Russian torpedo boat destroyer and their loyal comrades. The mutineers finally were subdued, but not before a number of men had been killed or wounded. The mutinous boat is the Skory and she gave fight to the gunboat Mandschur, the destroyers Garsovez, Smley and Zerditz and the garrison of on of the forts manned by the Twelfth regiment of artillery. The Skory soon was overwhelmed and had to be beached to save her from sinking. This was not accomplished, however, before her guns had done considerable damage and several officers and men of other ships had been killed or wounded. The crew of the Skory was incited by agitators, including some Jews who had managed to get on board. She steamed out into the harbor with the red flag flying, and at once opened fire on the town and forts. A gunboat and three destroyers went out to engage her, and, with the aid of the forts, soon had the Skory riddled and helpless. She then turned and ran through the surf and was beached. Those members of the crew not killed or injured were arrested by the soldiers as they made their way to land. Among the men killed are Captain Kurosch, commander of the torpedo boat Ravy, and Lieutenant Stoer. commander of the Skory. Lieutenant Vassilieff, commanding the Serditz was wounded. Several people in Vlad Ivostok were killed by shells from the Skory. The town has been declared in a state of siege. The Needle Traveled. Denver.—A needle that Mrs. Ella Whetmore accidentally jammed into her left hand yesterday in less than three hours traveled to her elbow whence Police Surgeon Ackley removed it last night. Mrs. Whetmore lives at 2436 Stour street. Early in the day she stuck a needle in a door. She forgot it, and when a neighbor rapped she tried to open the door and the needle entered her hand close to the index finger and disappeared. An hour later Mrs. Whetmore's wrist became stiff and attempts to move it resulted in extreme pain. Then she summoned the police surgeon. THE DELIGHTS OF BERMUDA. No Onions, but Many Other Things Bring Joy to Tourist. If you just go to Bermuda for the onions you had better stay at home because all the onions are exported, says the Travel Magazine. But if you can make up your mind to do without onions, you will have a splendid time. In the first place there are no railroads, and, oh, blessed thought! no rollleys on the islands. You can forget the hurry and the fret and rest tired nerves. You can bathe, you can sail on the wonderfully clear water within the rampart of coral, you can fish, and look through water glasses 30 feet down on the teeming life under sea. The Bermuda boats are rigged with something which is almost a balloon jib and a leg-o-mutton or jib-headed mainsail, and they are of very deep draught. But they work pretty handily, and will stand up and sail fast in rough water, so that you can take them out beyond the protected water without fear. At any rate, they add to the attractiveness of the islands to everybody who cares for His Business-Like Way.

Swedish Porter, Gothenburg, Sweden. 1644 Larimer St. Denver, Colo. WILL BE UP TO CONGRESS BANK CERTIFICATE SYSTEM MAY PREVAIL UNTIL THAT AUG GUST BODY ACTS. BUSINESS MOVES ON DENVER AND STATE BANKS WILL PROBABLY HOLD EMBARGO FOR FEW WEEKS Denver.—Just as soon as Congress convenes steps will be taken to put the national banks of the nation in legal shape to meet any emergency that may arise by reason of the shortage of currency and the great demand for the same caused by the upheaval in Wall street. Some such legislation is asked by the big houses in New York. Until Congress has moved in this matter it is not likely that the New York embargo on cash and paper money held by the national banks will be removed, and that the temporary plan of payment by certificate of deposit issued by a clearing house, or, as in Denver, by clearing house guaranteed checks, will be continued. New York, which led the way, expected to be able to resume normal conditions next week, but this is not likely now. The strain was too severe. It will take time to heal it. As a precautionary matter the Denver banks and state banks will very likely follow New York, and continue the present manner of doing business. It is not at all irksome. Money is almost as general as it was a week or two ago. Merchants are not complaining. What little hardship may have to be borne they are accepting for the good of the whole. Workmen who need cash receive cash. In other cases the certified checks are passing everywhere. There is a minority, very small in every community, that can see nothing but harm in every wind that blows. This minority would have done, as a small percentage in New York and Brooklyn and other cities did, that is to say, they would have rushed to the banks and gotten their money, had not a temporary check been put upon this class of depositors. But danger from this insignificant class is passed. The atmosphere is normal. The united action of the big mining men and the smelters in Colorado to keep all the gold-possible going to the mint for coinage and the action of the local mint in paying out gold coin for bullion received have had a good effect not only in that state, but all over. But Congress is expected to go to the aid of the New York banks and enable them to resume and when they permit the use of the money held by them for the banks throughout the country, then the country will return to the regular routine. As showing the conservatism now prevalent in New York, it may be well to point out what was done in the case of the Denver & Northwestern Railway Company bonds. This company has an electric line from Denver to Leyden and Golden and is the holding company for the tramway company. The company has been for more than a year gathering in its bond issues and mortgages with a view to making one complete new issue instead of having them scattered over different periods. Today $6,000,000 of these were to be refunded or exchanged, but although the holders of the old bonds had agreed as far as could be ascertained beforehand to accept the new issue in return for a cancellation of the old ones, still the houses that were to make the transfer decided not to do so, just as a precaution, for fear of causing the slightest ripple on Wall street, and so yesterday an advertisement appeared in the Republican containing notice that the exchange would not be made at present. The bonds that were to be taken up have fifteen years to run. In so far as Denver or the company itself is concerned there is no interest attached to this decision to wait to make the exchange, it simply shows that New York is extremely cautious about monetary matters. All the companies connected with the Denver & Northwestern Company are in splendid shape and the bonds are looked upon as among the best in the country. Fierce Gale in Galveston. Galveston, Tex.—A northwest storm of short duration with heavy rain passed over this city October 30th. The wind attained a velocity of seventy-two miles an hour. One woman was killed by being crushed by a falling house. Twenty frame houses were blown down. It is estimated that twenty persons were injured in the western part of the city, where the wind was the most severe. Several business houses were unroofed and the stocks of goods were slightly damaged by water. The Mallory line wharf shed was damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars. A few cars were blown from the tracks. The gulf remained normal. There was no interruption of traffic. Change of Hands. Sioux City, Iowa.—Stockholders of the Sioux City & Western railroad elected a board of directors composed of Burlington officials to succeed the present board, which is composed of Great Northern officials. The old Pacific Short Line, from Sioux City to O'Nell, Nebraska, will be under the control of the Burlington instead of the Great Northern. By this transfer the Great Northern surrenders all its mileage in Nebraska. Miners in Butte Accept Reduction: Butte, Mont.—By an overwhelming vote Butte Miners' union accepted the reduction of wages from $4 to $3.50 announced by the Amalgamated Copper Company last night. The contract entered into between the company and the union provided that the scale should be $3.50 when copper is below 18 cents and $4 when it is above. Out of Practice.

A PROMINENT southern statesman says that the worst Negroes go North and the best Negroes remain at home in the South. Then why do the southerners make it so difficult for black men to leave some of the states in the South, and why do they seem to want to make it so warm for those that stay there? But the statement will hardly bear a general application. Some Negroes who go North are doubtless bad men seeking greater chances for bad careers, but if the average Negro who comes North or West were the worst, those that remain must make their white fellow citizens hump for the honors of best citizens. NOT YET. MR. FILIPINO. SECRETARY TAFT'S present visit to the Philippines was for the primary purpose of opening the first Philippine Assembly, a kind of experimental legislative body which is to suggest legislation for the islands, which, however, will be subject to review and veto by the Philippine Commission, the American governing body. Mr. Taft's purpose has been accomplished, the Assembly has been opened and the Filipino people have been told what to expect as the probable policy of the United States in its governing capacity. The most important thing that Mr. Taft told the Filipinos, in this connection, was that the United States expected to aid them to become a self-governing people, but in general. We think that the United States should preserve its self-government, and that the present generation of their people might not become capable of fulfilling that duty. Now, this was considered wise talk on the part of Mr. Taft, and, so far as we have learned, has evoked no objection or discussion on the part of the American people for whom, it is supposed, he was authoritatively speaking. We don't know how the Filipinos took it, but it is reported that considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed, and some impolite and impolitic demonstrations have been made against the American policies and procedures in general. We think that the United States should preserve its self-respect in its policies in setting up this Island government, if this government really intends so to do. But we do not think it consistent or just to adopt a certain standard of capability, based upon Caucasian ideas, and require another race of people to measure up to it or remain dependent. And why should Mr. Taft tell the Filipino people that they are not capable of self-government? If they are capable of understanding his meaning fully, then they are in fact sufficiently capable of acting for themselves; if they are not fully capable of understanding his meaning, then there was no reason for telling them what they could not understand. This idea of one race of people governing another race of people always was a hit and miss affair. The Filipino question is years behind the Irish question. Many things make it appear that provisions are shaped in the Philippines to protect the interests of American residents quite as much as to improve native conditions. This will fully account for the prediction that the present generation will never be self-governing. If this policy endures, future generations are in like danger. But then, who knows but that Mr. Taft went to the Philippines merely to sow the seeds of a future revolution which will make the recent pacification of the Islands look like a tempest in a teapot. THE BUSH TELEGRAPH. AN AMERICAN traveler, lately returned from Abyssinia, says that from Casablanca to Natal there is not a brown man nor black but has heard the rumor distorted and strangely adorned, that somewhere beyond the horizon, in a long and bloody war, a small brown man has whipped and routed a big white one; an similar reports about Asiatic and African feeling are being made on every hand. In primitive huts they chatter and question their tradition that a white man never dies. Where neither the telegraph nor the newspaper reaches, on some strange wing of rumor, the story of the Japanese-Russian war has penetrated; and lone outposts of white men, who depend for their supremacy on the tradition of superiority, feel in the air about them, and in the manner of the natives, the lessening of submission. Among blacks and browns less ignorant than the Central Africans there is stirring restlessness. Some foresee a rising which will slaughter or expel every white man in Africa, says Collier's Weekly. Indications of the same feeling pervade every land dominated, but not possessed, by white men. Writers of fiction have heretofore described and commented upon the peculiar system seemingly prevalent throughout all Africa whereby the news of any important event which transpires upon, or in any manner reaches, the coast, is distributed among the inland tribes, and possibly over the greater portion of the continent. The rapidity with which such matters are disseminated is the wonder of explorers and traders, who sometimes in this manner get their first rumors of happenings which their own means of communication could not supply probably for many a day. Considering the character of the people and their many tribal divisions, this instinct of racial unity is significant. To the black man of civilization it indicates the existence of a saving characteristic in the original, barbarie stock, which will tend to preserve and redeem it finally to enlightenment and civilization. To the white man it seems to assume the character of a menace, because the white man thinks that the surrender of his presumption of superiority means the decay of his power and the end of his safety as a relative member of the human brotherhood. It is true that a rising which would slaughter or expel every white man in Africa would be frightful and trepidating, but it would not be altogether unholy, for the white man has no legitimate right to be in Africa as its nominal possessor. But the influences which may finally develop and rejuvenate the black and brown races of the earth do not constitute a menace, because they can be developed only through channels which recognize a common Fatherhood. Undoubtedly in the centuries to come the world must see an equitable adjustment, or else a complete obliteration, of racial lines and domiciles, however long the process and whatever the cost. For in the beginning God made of one blood all the people to dwell together upon the face of the earth. Airship Obliterating National Boundary Lines By CAMILLE FLAMMARION. HE first time that I found myself wafted through the air by an aerostat my soul sang like that of Pilatre des Roziers and of the marquis of Arlandes, heroes of the first aerial voyage, in September, 1783. King Louis XVI. had granted authorization of this experiment only on the condition that it be attempted on two men condemned to death. The ardent Pilatre was indignant at the thought that "vile criminals should have the first glory of being elevated in the air." He conjured, he supplicated, and succeeded in making the first ascension with his friend the marquis of Arlandes. Two years later he HE first time that I found myself wafted through the air by an aerostat my soul sang like that of Pilatre des Roziers and of the marquis of Arlandes, heroes of the first aerial voyage, in September, 1783. King Louis XVI. had granted authorization of this experiment only on the condition that it be attempted on two men condemned to death. The ardent Pilatre was indignant at the thought that "vile criminals should have the first glory of being elevated in the air." He conjured, he supplicated, and succeeded in making the first ascension with his friend the marquis of Arlandes. Two years later he paid for his admirable temerity with his life. In the entire history of humanity no other discovery has excited an enthusiasm equal to the invention of Montgolfier. At least, according to the annals of the time, the engravings, and the songs, enthusiasm must have run to a frenzy. To suppose that aerial navigation some day will replace maritime navigation or railways seems far fetched, and it promises to be a luxurious mode of locomotion. We do not see it applied to the bulky trade transport, but already we divine that aerial voyagers soon will be a numerous host and that they will choose by preference the enchantments of the pure and perfumed air. They will not visit either the moon or the stars, because aerial navigation depends upon the air itself, just like a fish in the water; it evolves and always will evolve in the atmosphere and cannot leave it. Now, the breathable atmosphere practical for balloons does not extend but some miles above the surface of our planet—eight at the maximum. Our neighbor, the moon, is more than 200,000 miles away. Venus is 25,000,000 distant, Mars 30,000,000 and the nearest star 25,000,000,000,000. Let us not insist. Aerial navigation has no connection with intersidereal voyages. Other dreams of the eighteenth century revive. And, first of all, that of the suppression of national boundaries, the last vestige of feudalism. Aerial navigation will bring into usage a more or less general world line. We could not dream of marking a frontier with captive balloons or order them to descend. They could elude the order by flying away. The difficulty of regulating the voyagers inevitably will lead toward a suppression of frontiers. Frontiers are compatible with space of two dimensions, with surfaces measurable into square meters, but not with the freedom of space of three dimensions. One day when I went by balloon from Paris to Cologne two soldiers on horse cried to us in Belgian, at the top of their lungs, "Gentlemen, your papers!" Our only answer was to throw a sack of ballast at their heads and to make a leap of half a mile into another canton. Can a Husband Be Trained? By ELNA. Women generally lack the sense of proportion and do not make consistent martyrs. They deliberately teach a man a bad habit, and then nag him for exercising it. A good husband is simply a matter of training, but it is not the wife who does the training. It is too late, and she can only finish off the good work begun by mothers, sisters, or friends of early manhood. Women have a great duty to perform in their friendship with men, and the new plan among women of teaching a man to be a hearth-rug pet is one of the greatest menaces to the happiness of home mankind and home. They like it, of course—the men, the dear things—but there seems to be these two extreme factions among the women of the present day: one goes abroad screaming about the superiority of women, and the other trying to rob men of their manhood by converting them into lap-dogs. This latter tendency, if it were understood, is the result of the best instinct of woman—the maternal instinct, but it is diverted from the natural channel. A woman must have something to love. She is not half so interested in being loved as she is in loving. A man cannot understand this point, and so is utterly spoiled by attentions which are bestowed upon him. A man can be taught to take as much delight in doing these little things as a woman feels naturally. It is her duty, therefore, as an unselfish animal, to sacrifice in this respect her pleasure to his, for the moral effect which such a pose on the character of the man is a very serious matter. The real training period for husbands is during the months of engagement. The painful fact must be repeated, that women change more noticeably after marriage than do men. If the matter were studied seriously this would be found to be no libel. True, the husbands sometimes cease to bring the flowers and pay the hundred little courtesies that made life so sweet a few months ago, but that is a matter of training. The change in the wife takes a graver form. She neglects her personal appearance, studies her husband's character from a wholly different point of view from that taken before marriage, and nags him for the things that were perfectly obvious before marriage, but which were overlooked. That, mesdames, is the time when nothing should be overlooked. The couleur-de-rose is then bathing the world, and you can freely suggest the traits of character which do not please you, and ten to one you will succeed in so reforming the brute that he develops into a most delightful husband. Instead of this, you love to be loved by Henry, and it does not matter in the least what dear Henry does; but, oh, what a difference after marriage! Henry says he never dreamed you would object to this and that, and, mesdames, if you have concealed your objection all through the time of your engagement it is your bourden duty to conceal it all the rest of your life! Every reasonable woman knows that there is a falling off of the lover-like attentions, or they were, after all, merely symbols, but the difference of opinion concerning a principle of life or a firmly established habit has to do with temperament and compatibility, and so should have been clearly dealt with before the fatal knot was tied. I believe it is not exaggeration to say that in nine cases out of ten the quarrels between man' and wife for the first three years of married life result from the wife's disapproval of some trait of character or habit which should have been dealt with during the period of engagement.

RESOLUTIONS By the People's Sunda Alliance Regarding Senator Tillman's Lecture. Whereas, It has been admitted by the Trustee Manager of the First Baptist church of Denver, that Senator Tillman, of South Carolina is lecturing under a Christian Endeavor (?) Lyceum the agent of which misrepresented matters; and Whereas, at such time of renting the said church, the Pastor Rev. Geo. B. Vosburg was in Europe, leaving all in trust with Mr. Sperry, the financial agent; and, Whereas, Mr. Sperry, the said agent, together with Rev. Vosburg, did do all in their power, believing the United States Senator surely was a Christian man, in questions and persuasions to act a christian gentleman; and. Whereas, Senator Tillman did wilfully and ungentlemanly abuse the courtesies extended by offensiveness that was deplorable to nearly all present, in giving insult upon insult to a growing race, the true cause of their weaknesses the thinking and christian class holding them irresponsible, to pour vituperation upon the sons and daughters of Northern whites of Reconstruction Days. Therefore, be it RESOLVED. That the People's Sunday Alliance representing the better element of Negroes in Denver, Colorado; exonerate Mr. Sperry, the financial agent of the First Baptist church with our prayers for greater spiritual insight when satan is scheming; send blessings to Rev. Vosburg for his sincere help toward persuading Senator Tillman to become a christian; commend the fearless action of Rev. H. W. Pinkham in ploring the passions of Southern whites preying upon the weak Negro women; extend our sincere wishes for greater strength to Miss Clara C. Oberdorfer, the white woman who is teaching the whites physical, mental and moral courage of christianship, for her having propounded, as Senator Tillman confessed and could not answer, the greatest question to the solution of the Negro problem; to wit:—"white immorality of superior (?) rank upon weak Negro women;" give to Rev. Alzamon Lucas, the first objector who caused Senator to utter truth as to the real cause of inability and crime amongst many Negroes, to an audience of absolute silence, our support and prayers for greater work in all races and, to our Senator Tillman, one who has suffered and will continue to suffer by his own vindictiveness, unblushing effrontery and conduct unbecoming a United States Senator, our heartfelt, loving Christian spirit of helpfulness, in every sense of the word, for his repentance and true citizenship; appreciate the unbiased report in the Denver Post of October 26th and the respective editorials in the COLORADO STATESMAN, issue of Oct. 26th, the Denver Republican of Oct. 27th; the Rocky Mountain News of Oct: 28th and replies of Mr. S. H. Hobson and Mr. Roy E. Handy for countering influences only in the Rocky Mountain News of Oct. 27th, and be it further Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the aforesaid Alliance and given to the leading papers of Denver and a further request that every publication of note print the following message. TO THE NEGRO OF AMERICA Intelligence cannot be insulted. Consider the source of all things, and, that which is not uplifting, inspiring and helpful, allow to pass and look only for the good in all things.

NO ATTENTION TO PANIC EASTERN FARMERS ARE LOOKING FOR BROADER FIELDS AND BETTER RETURNS. Denver.—Wall street hysterics do not seem to have the slightest effect on the land business, for notwithstanding the financial flurries in New York there has been more land sold in Colorado than in any single week in a number of months. "Our inquiries this week have exceeded any other one week in the history of our firm," said C. E. Wantland, general sales agent of the Union Pacific land department and head of the land firm known as Colorado Land Headquarters, yesterday. "We have had a dozen sales to Iowa people who are not in the least concerned with Wall street troubles, and we have also sold to Illinois and Kansas people. The fact that our sales of the week have been scattered over the country shows that the country at large is not worrying over the New York local troubles. Some Sample Sales. "Among our sales was that of more than 11,000 acres north of Bennett to a syndicate of South Omaha men. This is a body of land in one tract and the South Omaha people will, I believe, hold it for awhile, for it is bound to increase in value and they are certain to clean up a big profit. "Another sale was E. J. Spencer of Witchita, Kansas. Mr. Spencer bought a section near Watkins, being the smallest of five deals that he has made with us in the last few weeks. He is only one of a number of Kansas men who are putting money into eastern Colorado. "Still another deal was for about 1,000 acres in the Watkins district to Kenville, Minnesota, men, who have also been heavy buyers through us. Illinois parties have bought around Byers, and so I might go on with details, but I simply give these instances to show that the country isn't in the least disturbed by New York's crazy financial turns. Union Pacific Deals. "The Union Pacific Land Company, through its local agent, G. J. Willis, in Salt Lake, has recently sold 125,000 acres of land in Uinta county, Wyoming, to the Uinta County Leasing Company, of which John C. Mackay is president. This is in addition to some 350,000 acres recently sold in Wyoming. These purchases have been made by sheepmen, which shows that the sheepmen, too, are optimistic. "The Bijou ranch in Elbert county, which is being retailled, has also come in for prosperity. Twenty Illinois farmers have each bought 160 acres of that ranch and Henry C. Tripp and his associates of Denver have bought about 2,000 acres of the same ranch, and Illinois men are figuring on 10,000 acres of the same property. Real Estate Men Buy. That we are ourselves confident of the future is shown by our purchases of several thousand acres in Eastern Colorado. We have also taken over the old Watkins ranch at Watkins and will engage extensively in the hog business. We have a stock company and we have no difficulty whatever in disposing of the stock in this big hog ranch. "There are many people who look upon depressions in the East as affecting the entire country, but these deals show that it is a false impression. We are owners of Harlem, a new addition to Denver, and Swastika, an acreage proposition just back of Harlem, and the sales here during the week have been large, showing conclusively that Denver people are like the others—simply going ahead and not paying any attention to New York. "The outlook was never better than at present. There is every indication that this winter will be the best winter for the land business ever known in Colorado. The eastern farmer has made money and he is looking West for investment. He knows that land is cheap in Colorado and that values are steadily advancing and that now is the time for him to buy—and he will buy." Judge Indicted for Deaths in Wreck. Charleston, Ill.—Several bench warrants were issued today for the arrest of officials and employees of the Mattoon City Railway Company, operating the Charleston & Mattoon Interurban lines, as the result of a wreck near this city last August, in which eighteen passengers were killed. Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States Circuit Court at Chicago is among those indicted. The others are Directors Underwood, Sampsell and Rose of Chicago, President Potter, Superintendent Moore and Motorman Bitts. Motorman McClar, who, as alleged by the company, was responsible for the accident, by running an express car between stations without orders, has not been indicted. Criminal negligence tending to produce manslaughter is the charge against the seven men named. Judge Grosscup was informed of his indictment just as he was about to take the bench today. He said: "This thing hurts. My friends, I am sure, know that I have a tender regard for human life and suffering and a desire to deal justly with all men. I can only say that the accident was due solely to a human error in carrying out orders—and that my sole connection with it is that I was a director of the company at that time."

"The management of the Western Live Stock show has generously given space in an exhibit hall and set aside a sufficient fund to cover all premiums offered," says an official announcement by the Grain Growers' association, "and if we make a success of our part of the show, we may be able to convince the management of the adbisability of making this grain and forage exhibit a permanent feature of the show. We trust that all members of the Colorado Grain and Seed Growers' association will take an active part in helping to bring a good representative showing from their sections of the state. Speak to your neighbors about this and let every farmer and ranchman who grows feed crops help show the visitors of this coming winter's live stock show at Denver what our Rocky Mountain valleys, parks and plains produce to feed the fine specimens of live stock we know we can grow. Other states will compete for these prizes, so one and all must get busy and win as many of these prizes for Colorado as we can. Above all else, we desire such a showing as shall make this feature permanent "Decide what you have on hand which can be used, put it away and send to W. H. Olin, president Colorado Grain and Seed Growers' association, Fort Collins, Colorado, for instructions as to preparing exhibits." "Dead Wife" Comes Back. Cheyenne, Wyo.—One of the strangest divorce cases ever tried here resulted in a decree for Bert Halford, a Union Pacific employee, who sued for separation from his wife Mable, alleging desertion and infidelity. Halford was deserted by *ne woman in* Sall Lake several years ago, and subsequently received news of her death. Last spring he married a young woman of this city. Two months after the wedding the first Mrs. Halford turned up alive and well. Through no fault of his own Halford was in the position of a bigamist, so sought to extricate himself by securing a divorce from his first wife. The first Mrs. Halford did not contest the proceeding. Call Ohio Pastor. Pueblo.—The congregation of the First Presbyterian church voted to extend a call to the pastorate to the Rev. Frederick W. Evans of Steubenville, Ohio. The Rev.

Vert Gregory, local station agent at Florence for the Rio Grande for the last three years, who resigned a week ago to join the office force of the new Canon City Electric Street Railway Company, was succeeded by J. P. Stroube. Losing his balance while working on the roof of the Rio Grande Western pumping plant at Cisco, near Grand Jungtion, E. B. Strand, a carpenter, fell twenty-five feet to the ground.

There is so much Rheumatism every- where that the following advice by an eminent authority, who writes for reac- ers of a large Eastern daily paper, witi be highly appreciated by those who suffer: Get from any good pharmacy one- half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla, Shake these well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after enca meal and at bedtime; also drink pleavy of good water. It is claimed that there are few vic- tims of this dread and torturous dis- ease who will fail to find ready relief in this simple home-made mixture, and in most cases a permanent cure is the result. This simple recipe is said to strength- en and cleanse the ellminative tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture, as ft is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while. THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS. Recent Attempts to Tabulate the Beasts That Perish. Every now and then some natural- ist endeavors to make an approximate numerical count of known animal species. This kind of attempt is sure- ly not without interest, but it must be acknowledged that its results are very uncertain. We are far from knowing all species, and there is yet a delight- ful prospect ahead for those who love systematic zoology and for zoologists who bestow mutual honors by giving each other's names to some animal hitherto unknown. As Nurmann remarked to a recent meeting of naturalists at the museum, to which he presented his “Catalogues Mammalium,” the species of rodents known in 1880 were only 970 in num- ber; now they are 1,900. The num- ber has thus, at least, doubled in 27 years. The number of living species of this creature now known is about 1,500, divided among 160 genera. This family is the most numerous of the class of mammalia—Wissen fur Alle. ‘BUSouIhing ewer __ A prominent planter recently had occasion to visit some of his holdings in southern Arkansas. The land was situated several miles from a railroad, and it was necessary to finish the Journey in a buggy. So he took a friend with him and started out. After traversing several miles of sparsely settled country, they came upon a farmer plowing corn on the side of a hill. The planter, wishing to appear civil to his neighbors, stopped his horse and yelled at the man, who came to the fence, mopping his face with a red bandana. “Good morning.” “Mornin’, mister!” “You live here, I suppose?” “yep.” “How's crops?” “Fair to middlin’.” “That's a bad hill you're plowing.” “I know it. Bad hoss, pullin’ th’ plow, bad plow, bad everything.” “Why, you talk like you were the poorest man in Arkansas,” laughed the planter. “I ain't, though,” was the response, as the young fellow smiled good naturedly. “Another feller owns half o' this crop.” TAKE THEMsOUT Or Feed Them Food They Can Study On. When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food, there are only two things to do; either take him out of school or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. ‘That food is Grape-Nuts. ‘A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y., saying: “A short time ago I got into a bad condition from overstudy, but Mother having heard about Grape- Nuts food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any other food, and the results were mar- yelous. I got fleshy like a good fel- low. My usual morning headaches disappeared, and I found I could study for a long périod without feeling the effects of it. “My face was pale and thin, but is now round and has considerable color. Alter I had been using Grape-Nuts for about two months I felt like a new hoy altogether. I have gained greatly in strength as well as flesh, and it {s a pleasure to study now that I am not bothered with my head. I passed all of my examinations with a reason- ably good percentage, extra good in some of them, and it is Grape-Nuts that has saved me from a year's delay in entering college. “Father and mother have both been improved by the use of Grape-Nuts. Mother was troubled with sleepless nights and got very thin, and looked care worn. She has gained her nor- mal strength and looks, and sleeps well nights.” ‘There's a Rer.son.” Read “The Road to Wellville” in pkgs.

All Have Not Same Range—Swallows’ Great Distance. ‘The routes by which birds pass to and from one country to another in spring and autumn are regularly fol- lowed. One great thoroughfare, of course, is in the spring from south to north, and conversely in the autumn from north to south; another is south- east to northwest; a third southwest to northeast, with the return into the same starting points, says the Scot- man. ‘The great southern wintering region fg south of the north of Africa and extends to far beyond the equator, and from it, under the breeding m- stinet in spring, birds hurry away to disperse themselves over the wide spreading palaearctic or northern lands, which extend as far, in the case of some species, as a long way within the arctic circle. South of the equator during the northern winter the migrants fly toward the south pole to breed. The seasonal range limit of some of the northern breeding birds is enormous—several extending from Patagonia to Greenland. All migratory birds have not the same range; some fly longer, some shorter, distances. The best known of all the birds of passage, the swal- low has one of the longest ranges— from 7,000 to 10,000 miles. In this extended range are also included such birds as the gray plover, the knot, the pectoral and curlew sandpipers and the Asiatic golden plover. The longer range—from 6,000 to 7,000 miles—includes such well-known birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake, the sedge warbizr, the greenshank; the moderate range—from 3,000 to 5,000 miles—embraces the turtle dove, the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack snipe; the third range—from 1,000 to 2,000 miles—such birds as the wood chat shrike, the stone curlew, the woodcock and black tern and in what is called the restricted area—with a mileage of 1,000 miles downward— there are the waxwings, several gulls and the eider duck. BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE. Awful Humor Eating Away Face— Body a Mass of Sores—Cuticura Cures in Two *Weeks. “My little daughter broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc- tors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box ‘of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. C. A. THE EVER-POPULAR BLOUSE It is in coloring, rather than in contour, that the changes which Fashion has ordained for the coming season are to be noted, and while the general outline and scheme of our garments are those with which we have become pleasantly familiar during the past few months, everything will be transformed in effect by striking and manifold contrasts of color. No longer is it to be our aim to show the one chosen shade in practically every detail of our costume from hat to shoes—on the contrary, the more colors are cleverly combined on gown and headgear the more cleverly will the up-to-dateness of the wearer and the skill of the maker be proclaimed, and, indeed, much skill is invariably demanded if the result is to be altogether successful, while discretion will occasionally be the better part of—fashion—when a choice has to be made. Peacock blue is one of the colorings which will be very much to the fore, and it certainly looks wonderfully well in the chiffon velvet (or velveteen) which is to be a much favored fabric, while the deepest and richest shades of purple, and plum and wine red, promise to bring a welcome brightness into dull days and months, and there are also available for choice many charmingly soft tones of leafgreen and brown, the beautiful (though not always becoming) cinna- ```markdown ``` An Autumn Gown. mon shadings also making appeal to many. Stripes seem to pattern every fabric with impartiality, and in the matter of trimmings, braidings and embroideries many-colored as Joseph's coat, are equally ubiquitous, the garment which they do not jointly adorn being somewhat difficult of discovery. Not that you are likely to display any anxiety for such a discovery, seeing that the effect of the said trimmings is most admirable and decorative—indeed, you have every reason to be well pleased with the Fashion program which has been arranged for the coming season, and whose authentic details you may study in these pages, for the most widely different tastes (and figures!) have been carefully provided for, and in spite of the extra elaboration of detail and rumors of increased cost for everything, you will find nothing to alarm you in the matter of prices. The kimono we still have with us, and though its potent influence will probably wane with the season as regards our gowns, it will be long, I should say, before we are willing to disregard its many special advantages when applied to theater coats and wraps generally, while, then, it is to be noted that the sleeve of elbow length—or rather, shortness—can now be discarded by all those who may prefer the more protective and becoming sleeve, whose career continues to the wrist, and whose claims to renewed favor are at last being recognized. Blouses, are of universal interest and women are constantly needing to add to their supply of these most convenient garments. In our large illustration above we display a variety of patterns, from which helpful suggestions may be obtained for the making of these garments. The special features of fashion which vary from those of the fall and winter season of 1906 are the skirts and the sleeves, both having become considerably smaller. The ordinary tailor-made man's sleeve is prominently adopted on the long coat, while the skirts invariably fit closely round the hips, and boast their little fulness in the center of the back. The short skirt and the long skirt are alike in evidence, and since each may most successfully play a different part, there is no reason that the charms of both should not be recognized impartially. Although there is much talk of making velvet dresses with the short skirts and long coats, I would hold that, as a general rule, the long skirt looks far better in velvet. Velveteen, however, may have a success as a short skirt, and besides these checked and striped velveteens of which I have already spoken, I have met some with blurred spots upon their surface, and others with a pattern of some conventional design in fine black. The models in hats all seem exactly alike, invariably of the bell-shaped style, the only alternative being the beaver toque, which has an upturned brim, and is trimmed with a couple of skeleton feathers or a fanciful "mount" of plumes. The tunic swathed round the figure is the latest novelty for evening wear, though it is, of course, but a revival, like all good novelties. It is made of good crepe de chine, and dragged round so that it fits quite tightly over its lining, while it is bordered with a thick silk fringe, and it rests on a brocaded or embroidered petticoat. Numerous are the tweeds in strips, and the most successful rival to the stripe is the costume which consists of a checked skirt and a plain coat, such checked skirt being constantly made of velveteen, while the coat is invariably of cloth. Then there are some checked tweeds strapped with cloth, and you may also find the perpetually attractive plain-faced cloth trimmed with strappings of velvet, as well as with those silk braid bindings which are almost ubiquitous. Extreme in Advertising. "A new method of advertising has been discovered," says a Mannheim paper, "by a Bavarian manufacturing concern. On cards deeply bordered with black it has sent the following notice to business houses in Germany: 'Honored Sir: The board of directors of our company has instructed me to notify our esteemed patrons in Baden that we mourn with them on the occasion of the passing away of their beloved prince, his royal highness the Grand Duke Frederick. In complying with the wish of the directors, I must congratulate our fatherland on having been the cradle of so noble a regent. Accept the assurance of our sincere regard. X, Y., Manager.'" The latest circular and price list of the concern were sent with the unique card, and the paper in which the advertising trick was noticed says: "This may be clever, from the business man's standpoint, but, as we see it, it is brutal."

New York.—If Diogenes had been on earth wandering about Sheepshead bay the other night in search of an honest man his search would have ended successfully had the rays of his lantern rested on Stanley French. The latter, a resident of the village by the sea, found $9,500 in a train which was traveling from the Belmont park track. Fifteen hours later he returned the money to its owner, Henry McDaniel, a trainer of race horses. The horseman gave French a reward of $1,000. French was "broke." He had not won a bet for nearly two weeks—he is a betting commissioner at times for a Brooklyn politician—and the prospect of a hard winter was staring him in the face. He could have kept the money without fear of detection, too, for his wife was the only one who knew he had found it. According to French's story, he went to Belmont park just one dollar "strong," as he put it. After paying his fare from his home to the track and buying a program, there remained on his person only a few small coins. With the philosophy of his kind, he left the track without laying a bet, and boarded a car bound for home. The car had not traveled far when French had occasion to rub his leg, which had fallen asleep. Reaching down, the first thing that met his eye was a roll of bills. Picking up the roll and without counting the contents, he pounced it. Arriving home he showed his wife the wad. "What do you intend to do with it?" she asked. "Return it," French replied. A canvass of his sporting cronies next morning easily yielded the information as to who had dropped the money. WOODEN LEGS PROVE PERIL. Also Prove Blessing to Aged Man Who Is Stuck in Mud. Indianapolis, Ind.—Fletcher McClain, 65 years old, was saved and also held prisoner by his two wooden legs when he fell from a bridge with the horse and buggy he was driving. McClain fell apart from the horse and buggy and shot downward, fee—"pegs" foremost, the wooden pedals penetrating the muck "knee" deep. And there he stuck, saved from injury, but quite helpless. There was no one within halling distance and the old man pulled and pulled and pulled. Finally perseverance won. With a loud smack the right foo—"peg" came again to the upper air. The other followed and McClain stumped off to bed a mile away, leaving his horse and buggy. McClain lives near the Columbus Traction line. He was following the right of way when he came upon two bridges. Unable to decide in the darkness which was for cars and which for the rigs he chose the wrong one. The accident followed. Later in the morning the police arrived in answer to a summons and found only the injured horse, wrecked vehicle and two holes in the ground where his fee—"pegs" had been. SPANKS GROWN DAUGHTER. Miss Pauline Law, Spinster of Thirty-five, is Chastised. Pittsburg, Pa.—Miss Pauline Law, aged 35, who lives with her father, William Law, on Friendship avenue, went out the other night without telling her father where she was going and remained out until one o'clock in the morning. When she reached her home her father was waiting for her in his slippers. Her father is 65 years old, but he took off one of his slippers, placed Miss Pauline across his knee and spanked her in the most undignified manner. Miss Pauline had him arrested for assault and battery. The next afternoon the case was heard before Magistrate Kirby, the father was discharged, and the costs, amounting to ten dollars, placed on the young woman. "Your father has a perfect right to spank you as long as you remain under his roof if you are disobedient," ruled the court. Miss Pauline threatened to take an appeal. GIRL FINDS A SWAMP FREAK. Will Strive to Rear Queer Looking Animal on Nursing Bottle. Vineland, N. J.—A peculiar animal was picked up on the banks of the Maurice river swamp by Miss Florence Hoffman. Some think it resembles a cross between an otter and one of the wild dogs of the region; others think it is a mixture of fox and dog, while still others think it simply a freak wild dog. The animal's hind feet resemble those of a bear, and its fur, which grows the wrong way, suggests that of the otter. Its claws are sharp and it strives to burrow in the ground continually. Miss Hoffman has secured a nursing bottle, and will raise the wonder on milk. Pastor Plays for Dance. Detroit, Mich.—With the pastor, Rev. W. H. Bill', at the piano furnishing the music, the members of the Church of Our Savior indulged in a dance in the church building. The dance was the windup feature of the harvest home celebration. "Dancing is a wholesome amusement when the environment is proper," the pastor said.
