THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY CHRIST'S Newly Discovered Words by Archeo Some Very Interesting Newly Discovered Words by Archeologist in Egypt Brings to Light Some Very Interesting Biblical Information. What will be of much interest to the civilized world is the discovery of a new saying by the Savior according to the following dispatch: Chicago, Dec. 30.—A new saying of Christ, lost to the world for 1,300 years, and found in Egypt, was given to the world for the first time to-day by Professor Henry A. Sanders of the University of Michigan, addressing the members of the Archaeological institute, now in session at the University of Chicago. The fragment is part of an old Bible dating back to the Moslem conquest of Egypt, and on its face is so authentic as to disarm hostile criticism. The long-lost fragment belongs to the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of St. Mark, and follows the fourteenth verse. It relates the story of Christ's appearance, following His death, to eleven of His apostles in Jerusalem. Professor Sanders declared that the new-found manuscript also contains what is known as the liturgical ending of the Lord's prayer. The text was found, he said, by Charles L. Free of Detroit, who was searching in Egypt for additions to his collections. The new-discovered manuscript is supposed to follow the fourteenth verse of the sixteenth chapter of St. Mark and reads as follows: "And they answered, saying that this age of unrighteousness and unbelief is under the power of Satin, who does not permit the things which are made impure by the (evil) spirits to comprehend the truth of God and His power. For this reason 'reveal Thy righteousness' they said to Christ. And Christ said to them: "Tha limit of the years of the power of Satan has been fulfilled, but other terrible things are at hand, and I was delivered unto death on behalf of those who sinned in order that they may return to the truth and sin no more, to the end that all may inherit the spiritual, indestructible, glory of righteousness which is in Heaven." In commenting on the new passage, Dr. R. F. Coyle of the Central Presbyterian church said: "It is very interesting. The versus appear to be couched in much the same language as Christ used, and appear to be just as He VOL. XIV, would have spoken them. The discovery is certainly of great interest to all. "There has always been some doubt at to the authenticity of the last verses of the Gospel of St. Mark. So much so, in fact, that in many Bibles those last few verses are printed in italics and accompanied with a notation or foot note calling attention to the fact that the doubt exists." RELEASED The following dispatch from Trinidad, Colo., reveals the fact that E. T. Ferguson, a highly respected Negro of that place who was arrested on suspicion of being connected with a murder has been released: Trinidad, Colo., Dec. 31.—E. T. Ferguson, the Negro, who was in jail on suspicion of being implicated in the murder of Willie Leary was released this morning, no evidence having been secured to connect him with the crime. Up to late tonight the sheriff had not heard anything from Billings, Mont., to confirm the story told here by a Santa Fe brakeman that Martin, the cripple who is in in jail here on suspicion, had been arrested for investigation in connection with the murder of a boy at Billings in June, 1906. That the sheriff of Billings is in Denver is all that was received from there and Sheriff Davis left for Denver this morning in the hope of finding the Montana officer and learning more regarding the cripple. Martin shows no concern, having told the jailers that his life is not worth anything and he don't care what they do with him. He treats everyone with contempt. The inquest will not be held until further advices are received from Billings. Roy E. Handy, one of Denver's prominent business young men who was visiting in Trinidad at the time of the murder, says that Ferguson, who is a highly respected citizen there, would have been lynched for the crime but for the timely action of determined colored citizens who guarded the jail with Winchester rifles. Ferguson was the first to report the finding of the body and thus his arrest. ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1908. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Vaiden, Miss., Dec. 24.—Maury Davis, a young white man, was killed yesterday by William Spinx, a Negro, with whom he quarreled. The Negro was fatally wounded. The two emptied their revolvers at each other, and then clinched, finishing the fight with knives. Elberton, Ga., Dec. 22.—Hugh Wall, a well to-do planter, who is in jail here on a charge of murder, made by his young wife to day, confessed that the charge is true, and that he forced his wife to assist him in burying the body of his victim. Wall, according to his confession, killed Wilbur Harris. Negro about a year ago. The crime would never have been known had not Wall struck his wife while he was drunk several days ago. The blow enraged Mrs. Wall and she accused her husband of murdering the Negro. New York., Dec. 22.—Gen. J. Pienaar formerly of the Boer army was a passenger by the American liner, New York, in from Southampton and Cherbourg today. He said he wanted to enlist American sentiment in the freeing of the slaves in Africa. He would not attempt to free them at once. He would devote himself first to stirring the world to action on behalf of the serfs of the Portuguese section of Africa. Later, after getting some results in this line, he would take up the subject of liberating the slaves of the Congo. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 21.—Creighton Burruss, overseer on the farm of Col. L. D. Starke, at Lynnhaven Inlet, Princess Anne county, early today shot and killed John Crump, a Negro oysterman and boatman employed on the place. The cause is alleged to have been assault committed by Crump upon Burruss's wife. Burruss surrendered. Burruss made a statement in which he said that early this morning his wife told him of an assault made upon her by the Negro in his absence. Crump having sworn he would kill her if she ever informed on him. Baton Rouge, La., Dec. 22. Robert Wesson, a Negro of West Feliciana Parish, was brought to Baton Rouge today and placed in the State penitentiary for safe-keeping, charged with shooting up a passenger train on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. As a result of Wesson's wild rampage, Adonis K. Wridert, a student at the Louisiana State University is dead at his home, Bayou Sara, La. The coaches of the train bear wit. ness to the reckless shooting of the Negro. A posse, which started in search of Wesson, had little difficulty in arresting him. Owing to the danger of his being lynched by enraged citizens, he was brought here. The colored people in Chicago are not faring very well under Mayor Bussee since Mr. Bussee has been mayor of Chicago. Mr. Richard Ceaser, who was captain of the fire department No. 21 has been removed and a white man put in his place. For 20 years we have had a colored lawyer as one of the assistant city prosecuting attorneys, but since Mayor Bussee was elected he has failed and refused to appoint any colored lawyer to that position. Not a single colored man has been appointed to any position of importance under Mayor Bussee's administration. There is no doubt that the colored vote in Chicago, which about 11,000, will be solid against the next Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago. The Chicago correspondent of New York Age, in a recent letter, said:—"The Illinois law against discrimination in hotels, restaurants, soda fountains, etc., on account of race or color was again vindicated on Wednesday last. Mr. Albert George, a prominent young attorney, and Miss Bond of this city were the prosecutors. They entered one of our restaurants and were refused a seat at a table and ordered to the lunch counter. Mr. George and the lady were justly indignant and wasted no time in filing a suit for damages. The suit was tried before a jury of white men and a verdict of guilty, with damages for $125 and costs, was entered against the law-breaking restaurant." St. Lucia, E. W. I., Dec 24. It is reported in Paris that there is much alarm here among the white population at its defenseless condition in case of a Negro uprising. The situation is most acute as regards imminent danger. The inquiry into the riots of last April has been hushed up to screen an official seeking popularity. The cause of the discontent and the formenters of racial hostility remain unrevealed. The class animosity on the island is unabated, but the sullen official policy minimizes the gravity of the situation as to local defense. The blacks outnumber the whites fifty to one. The community can not rely on three obsolete war ships here, which constantly require docking, and are never where they are needed, being away policing the Newfoundland fisheries and voyaging from Halifax to Demerara, their absence suggesting opportunities for lawlessness. There is a feeling of insecurity among property owners irrespective of color. Trouble may break out afresh at the first favorable opportunity it is feared GREAT IS FORAKER Joseph Benson Forakør may or may not be the next President of the United States. Be that as it may, he will go down in history alongside the immortals contributed by America to that galaxy that were not born to die. Orator, statesman, soldier and patriot, he is greater than his party, grander than his country; the soul of honor; the mind of Napoleon, with the heart of Lincoln; the faith of John Brown, the zeal of Garrison and the wisdom of Wendell Phillips. The Republican party to him owes more than it is able to pay; perhaps it will be willing to do what in its power lies. Ohio loves and honors him, and calls him prince among her sons. The nation has come to know him as a patriot in whom there are both zeal and courage. This record is rich enough, but the recent months have revealed him in another light, and everywhere men are rising to say: "We never knew him before." And so they did not. The great crowd of loyal Negro Republicans in the West and North have testified that, while they will support whosoever their party names to run the race set before us, they did neither halt nor doubt, if Foraker were chosen for the contest. They love him, honor him, and follow him. A delight they find in him, and are not afraid to name him their choice. It is well that this is so, for who has talked about Liberty, and championed Freedom as he has done? Who? There is not even an echo to the query. Foraker—why not crown him with the prize he has won by a life of unbroken patriotism, whether in war or in peace? Why not?—Advocate, Charleston, W. Va. PARDONED Canon City, Colo., Jan. 1.—On the 45th anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro by Abraham Lincoln, Governor Buchtel today issued the New Year pardon to William Freeman, colored, known on the register of the penitentiary as No. 5652. Freeman is a blacksmith and was sentenced to the penitentiary for an indefinite term of 10 to 20 years from Trinidad by Judge Northcott, of the Las Animas district court, for murder in the second degree in 1903. Previous to the deed which sent him to the penitentiary Freeman had enjoyed an excellent reputation and since his incarceration has been a model prisoner. Under NO. 15. the system in vogue at the prison he had only another year to serve. The board of pardons considered his punishment had been sufficient in view of the fact that he killed his adversary in self-defense. Dist.Atty. Ross of Trinidad went before the board some time ago and requested Freeman's release. The announcement of the pardon was made by Warden Cleghorn at the beginning of the literary and musical programme in the prison chapel at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The entertainment consisted of readings from noted authors by Prof. J Bruce Mather, teacher of literature and psychology in North Denver high school, and selections by Miss Julia Chenowith of St. Louis, a violinist. Three convicts were released on parole, one of them being Susie Burns, colored, of Denver, sent here for robbery. She left this afternoon for Salt Lake, where she will make her home. This leaves only 18 women in the penitentiary. Insurance Department of Colorado. Public information:—The correspondence and inquiries from policy-holders and others requesting information or assistance from this department is constantly increasing. Some of these are requests for the department to assist in collecting disputed claims from companies. While the commissioner has no authority to require companies to pay claims, such power being vested solely in the courts, he is glad to furnish any information or assistance that is consistent and proper to secure just and fair treatment for claimants. It does not matter how small the policy or how apparently unimportant the inquiry all are entitled to and receive prompt and respectful consideration. All wellgrounded complaints of this nature are brought to the attention of the company, and are of value to this department in determining the company's policy in adjusting claims. During the past two years the state has been relieved of several unsafe and unreliable insurance companies and a number of others have been induced to abandon certain unfair methods in dealing with the public. Under the new insurance laws the license of a number of solicitors have been revoked for misrepresentations, and for bearing bad characters and reputations, and the supervision over agents, solicitors and brokers has been effectively strengthened. In order to assist the department in continuing this much needed improvement and to increase the protection of the public, it is of the utmost importance that all dishonest and irregular insurance practices be promptly reported to this office. E. E. RITTENHOUSE, Commissioner of Insurance. NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS TWO-THIRDS IN COLORADO CAMPS. Boulder County.—The old Colburn mill in the Magnolia section is to be remodeled for the handling of tungsten ores of the tributary properties. The plant was formerly equipped for cyanidation. A recent test mill run of Blue Bird mine ore was very satisfactory and it is possible that a dry-process concentration plant will be erected at Cardinal.—The new Magnolia cyanidite mill of the Taylor G. M. Co. is about completed, and will probably be put in operation early in January. Dolores County.—The first unit of the United Rico Mines Company's concentrating plant will be put in operation about January 1st. The company's Group tunnel mill will be in readiness about April 1st. The combined capacity of the two milling plants is about 150 tons. A recent engineer's report shows that there is available for extraction about 220,000 tons of ore at the Atlantic Cable mine. H. A. Shipman is the engineer in charge. Lake County.—The Western Mining Company has lately suspended operations at its Perrose, Coronado and other mines.—The Iron-Silver Mining Company has also ceased operations temporarily, the Minnie concentrating plant having been shut, down last week.—Seventy sets of leasers, totaling over 300 men, are employed at the Ibex mine, and it is probable that additional leasers will begin work after the first of the year.—The Central Colorado Power Company, which suspended operations nearly two months ago, has decided to resume work not later than February 1st. The carrying out of plans of this power company mean much to the mining progress of the district. Fremont County.—The interests of the Colorado Smelting Company of Florence and the Troy Consolidated Mining Company of Kelvin, Arizona, have been consolidated. The Troy Company takes possession of the Florence smelter early in the year, and it is proposed to remodel and enlarge the plant. Mineral County.—The Creede United Mines Company's power plant at the Happy Thought mine was destroyed by fire December 22d, resulting in a loss of $100,000. The origin of the fire is unknown, as the plant had been closed down for several days. It is a disastrous blow to the Creede camp, and will still further curtail its production. Owing to the slump in the price of lead and silver, the majority of the mines in the camp are closed down, over 200 men being affected. Park County.—A rich gold-ore strike is reported at a property two and one-half miles southwest of Hartsel. The ore is said to occur in a two-body body at a depth of eighteen feet.—The Russia mine above Alma has been closed down for the winter.—Operations have been resumed at the Fanny Barrett mine in the Alma camp, under the direction of A. Crown. Ore Treatment Rates Cut. Another important step in the rate war between the United States Reduction and Refining and Golden Cycle Mining and Milling Companies, both of which own large reduction plants at Colorado City, was taken December 26th when the United States company announced a new and considerably lower open rate on all classes of ore, reserving the right to divert to the American Smelting and Refining Company plants at Denver and Pueblo the high grade rock, if advisable. The reduction will doubtless stimulate the output of the Cripple Creek district by encouraging the shipment of much dump rock which was cast aside in the days of exorbitant treatment charges, and the working of properties whose product averages low grade. The new schedule is as follows: Rate made on New Oct. 13, 97. ORES. Less than ½ oz. in gold. $ 8.50 $ 4.50 Between ½ and ¼ oz. $ 5.75 $ 5.00 Between ¾ and 1 oz. $ 6.50 $ 5.00 Between 1 and 1¼ oz. $ 7.25 $ 6.00 Between 1¼ and 1½ oz. $ 7.50 $ 6.00 Between 1¼ and 2 oz. $ 8.00 $ 7.00 Between 2 and 3 oz. $ 9.50 $ 8.00 Between 3 and 5 oz. $ 9.50 $ 8.00 The ore included in the rates is shipped to the plants of the United States Reduction and Refining Company at Colorado City and Florence and the rates apply f. o. b. cars in the Cripple Creek district, the company paying the freights. On higher grade ores, which are shipped to the American Smelting and Refining Company at Denver and Pueblo, the following reductions have been made to apply f. o. b. cars at Denver and Pueblo: Old New Ores worth from rate rate. 5 to 7½ ozs. gold 1 $ 7.50 $ 6.50 7½ to 10 ozs. gold 8.50 $ 6.50 10 to 12½ ozs. gold 9.50 $ 7.50 Judge H. McGarry, vice president and general manager of the Golden Cycle Mining and Milling Company, stated that his company would not reduce its ore treatment charges. He further said enough contracts had been made to keep the mill running at full capacity, and that 450 tons of custom ore were being handled each day. According to Judge McGarry the Cycle mill will be treating 800 tons daily by January 15th. Progress in New Mexico. The affairs of the Comanche M. & S. Company, operating reduction works at Silver City and mines in the Pinos Altos and Burro mountain sections, have been placed temporarily in the hands of a receiver. This action is said to be merely a matter of convenience, as the company has ample assets; it is probable that the company will be reorganized. Work has been entirely suspended at the company's mines and mills.—The iron ore shipments from the C. F. & I. Company's Fiero mine for the five months ending December 7th totaled 86,500 tons, and this month's output is estimated at 17,000 tons, making a total for the second half of the year of 103,500 tons.—The American Meerschaum M. Company, operating near Sapello, is making ready to ship large quantities of its product.—The Azure company has resumed work at its turquise mines in the Burro mountain section. Big Work in Alaska. The Guggenheim Exploration Company is prosecuting extensive winter work at its Bonanza mine in the Copper River country, to which section the Copper River & Northwestern railway is being built. Several hundred tons of supplies are being freighted to the camp by means of horses and dogs. Included in the outfit is a 30,000-foot capacity saw mill. COAL MINING ACCIDENTS Timely Report Just Issued by U. S. Geo logical Survey. Nearly 7,000 men were killed or injured in 1906 in the coal mines of the United States, 2,061 being killed and 4,800 injured. In the first seventeen days of December of this year about 500 lives were lost, and the total death roll for 1907 will probably greatly exceed that of the preceding year. Notwithstanding this appalling accident list, it is very doubtful whether the natural conditions in any other country in the world are so favorable for getting out coal with a minimum amount of danger to the workmen employed. The structural relations in the principal coal districts of this country are entirely favorable; the beds are thick—four, five or six feet—they lie in nearly horizontal positions, and they provide nearly ideal conditions for mining. The mines as a whole are not troubled with fire damp to a greater extent than those of other countries. The abundance and cheapness of timber in past years should also have been factors of considerable importance in reducing the number of accidents in mines, for the use of sufficient props to support the roof and sides need not have been prevented by excessive cost. In spite of all the natural conditions tending to reduce the number of mine accidents in the United States to a low figure, the statistics for the last fifteen years show directly contrary results. Coal mining in other countries has been made safer by the adoption and enforcement of stringent regulations for the mines, but in this country it has become increasingly dangerous each year. Considered in regard to the number of men employed in the coal mines, the United States occupies a less favorable position than any other coal-producing country, more than three times as many men out of each 1,000 employed being killed as in some European countries that are less favored by natural conditions. In regard to deaths per million tons of coal mined, the United States not only occupies a position worse than that of most European countries, but is also showing an increase in the rate, whereas every other country is showing a decrease. In view of these conditions and of the two most recent horrible disasters, no more timely report was ever published by the government than that just issued by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin No. 333, entitled "Coal Mine Accidents: Their Causes and Prevention," a preliminary statistical report by Clarence Hall and Walter O. Snelling of the technologic branch of the survey. This report is the direct result of an order from the secretary of the interior, dated June 10, 1907, transferring to the Geological Survey the general supervision of the work of the coal mine inspectors in New Mexico and Indian Territory. In endeavoring to carry out the suggestions of the secretary relative to the improvement of mining conditions and the prevention of accidents in the coal mines of the territories, a number of examinations of the more dangerous mines of Indian Territory were made by Messrs. Clarence Hall, Samuel Sanford and Rollin T. Chamberlin and Prof. J. A. Holmes, the expert in charge of the technologic branch. Other and more extended examinations in both Indian Territory and New Mexico have been planned. Meanwhile Mr. Hall and his associates have been investigating the nature, extent, causes and results of a number of disastrous coal mine explosions in several of the states. These studies have been carried on in connection with the general investigations of the waste and destruction of coal in mining operations. In connection with all these investigations, and with a view to determining the practicability of preventing coal mine explosions and improving mining conditions, Mr. Hall with the assistance of Mr. Walter O. Snelling, and under the advice of Prof. C. E. Munroe, began an inquiry concerning the nature and extent of such explosions and the methods employed in the United States and foreign countries to prevent their occurrence. In response to numerous requests for information on this subject, Messrs. Hall and Snelling have furnished in the bulletin just issued a brief summary of the results of these inquiries. Later bulletins will deal with other phases of the subject. The authors point out that the increase both in the number and seriousness of mine explosions in the United States shown in the past may be expected to continue unless most energetic measures are taken to counteract the prevailing tendency. With the depletion of the thicker and more favorably situated seams of coal, thinner and less regular seams must be worked. This factor will undoubtedly be of the greatest importance within a comparatively few years and the natural result will be to increase greatly the death rate. The rising price of timber will have the effect of decreasing the number of props used and thus increasing the chance of accidents from falls of roof and coal, which were the direct cause of fifty per cent. of the deaths in mines in 1906. The varied nationality of the miners is also a factor to be reckoned with. At the Monongah mine, which was visited by Mr. Snelling just after the accident, sigus printed in seven different languages were placarded on the walls. A large proportion of the foreign-born miners are unable to understand English, and a still larger number are unable to read or write the language. The reckless disregard shown by some of the inexperienced man for their own safety and that of others can be restrained culy by rigidly enforced laws. OHIO REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHOWS ITS PREFERENCE. TAFT MEN IN CONTROL STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN COLUMBUS MARCH 3RD AND 4TH. Columbus, O.-The Republicans of Ohio will be given an opportunity to express by direct vote their choice for the party's candidate for president at primaries to be held February 11th, when delegates and alternates to the Republican state convention will be elected. It will be held in Columbus, March 3rd and 4th and it will select, in addition to four delegates at large to the Republican national convention, candidates for governor and other officers. The call for the primaries and convention was adopted this evening by the Republican state central committee after a protracted and lively session. The friends of William H. Taft, secretary of war and candidate for the Republican nomination for president, were in control of the committee, casting fourteen votes to seven for the supporters of Senator Foraker, also an avowed candidate for the presidency. The vote stood fourteen to seven on every proposition which required a roll call except the selection of a temporary chairman of the state convention. James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, the chief of the Taft supporters, received thirteen votes to eight cast for Harry M. Daugherty of Columbus. Richard McCloud of London, a close personal friend of Mr. Daugherty, but a Taft supporter, voted for him as against Mr. Garfield. The call reported by the sub-committee and adopted by the general committee by a vote of fourteen to seven is one of the most elaborate ever issued by a state committee. Several amendments to the call were proposed by the friends of Senator Foraker, but in each case they were voted down. The chief fight was made against the direct primary plan for the selecte party's candidate for President at They proposed that delegates to county conventions be chosen by direct vote, the county convention to choose the delegates to state convention. The call as adopted provides a total of 185 delegates to the state convention. The Australian ballot is to be used in the primary. Stratton Estate Report. Colorado Springs—The report of the Stratton estate executives for the year 1907, filed with Judge Robert Kerr January 2d, shows that during the year there were cash receipts of $1,128,612.41, and disbursements of $1,026,026.54, leaving a cash balance January 1st of $102,585.87. The report covers several typewritten ten pages. The larger receipts are embodied in the dividends paid by the various Stratton holdings, apportioned as follows: Portland mining stock, $80,693.28; Stratton-Cripple Creek Mining & Development Company, $99.99; International Realty Company, $57,497.70; Union Gold Mining Company, $7,969.20; Colorado Springs & Interurban Street Railway Company, $15,000. From the sale of street car bonds $625,000 was received, and the interest on the bonds amounted to $27,291.70. The report shows that the estate has received a monthly rental of $6,000 for the Brown Palace hotel in Denver since August last. The various legacies left by the late millionaire, less the inheritance tax in each instance, were paid during the year. Fifty bonds of the street railway company, amounting to $50,000, were taken up. T. J. O'Donnell of Denver was paid $25,000 in connection with the Brown Palace hotel litigation. The law firms of McAllister & Gandy of this city and E. E. Whitted of Denver were each paid $17,500 fees in the Venture and Stratton's Independence litigation. L. M. Goddard of Denver was paid $12,000, and another item $2,500, is also charged to him. An item of $69,853.17 was paid in the matter of the settlement of the Brown Palace hotel deal with James H. Brown. The largest item paid out was the inheritance tax of $374,308.04. Another Rockefeller Gift. Chicago.—Martin Ryerson, president of the board of trustees of the Chicago university, announced Thursday that John D. Rockefeller has added $2,191,000 to his gifts to the university, making the total of his benefactions over $23,000,000. It is also reported that the head of the Standard Oil Company has offered to treble all contributions to the memorial library which the university is trying to erect in honor of William R. Harper, its first president. The trustees have already received $15,000 for this purpose and hope to add $15,000 to this sum, so that with Mr. Rockefeller's contribution an $800,000 structure may be erected on the campus. The gift announced today, like most of those preceding it from the same source, is to be devoted mainly to general endowment purposes. Securities to the value of $2,000,000 are set aside for this purpose, thereby adding $85,000 to the income of the institution. Of the balance $155,000 is to be used to wipe out a deficit in the accounts for 1906-7 and $36,000 will be devoted to the purchase of books, laboratory apparatus and other equipment. MINT DIRECTOR'S ESTIMATE. Shows Falling Off in the Production of Gold. Washington.—The production of gold in the United States fell off $4,753,401 in 1907, as against 1906, whereas the amount of silver produced was increased by over 1,000,000 fine ounces. Alaska's gold production fell off a little more than $3,000,000, according to the preliminary report of the director of the mint just issued. Colorado is shown to have led all of the states in 1907 in the production of gold, as it did in 1906, the amount, however being reduced from nearly $23,000,000 in 1906 to nearly $21,000,000 in 1907. Montana leads the list in the production of silver, with 12,118,000 fine ounces, with Colorado and Utah only a few thousand ounces behind. The following table shows the value in dollars of the production of the principal gold and silver states for the year: Alaska $18,251,610 $ 98,081 Arizona 2,593,516 1,972,272 California 17,394,863 1,535,281 Colorado 20,888,833 7,687,769 Idaho 1,087,655 4,605,293 Michigan 1,087,655 4,605,293 Montana 4,206,345 7,997,880 Nevada 14,704,658 5,126,556 New Mexico 235,224 284,624 Oregon 1,179,888 54,953 South Dakota 4,085,416 61,387 Texas 992,600 202,979 Utah 4,655,541 7,753,390 Washington 155,025 46,606 Wyoming 3,215 603 Anti-Suicide Bureaus. London.—Twelve months ago General Booth, of the Salvation Army, started anti-suicide bureaus in various cities of the world, and he now has issued a review of the year's work. Altogether 1,125 men and ninety women sought the assistance of the London bureau to save them from self-destruction, while at least an equal number applied at the bureaus in other cities. It appears from the review that the seekers for help belonged mainly to the middle classes. More than half of them attributing the desire to end their lives to financial embarrassment or hopeless poverty. From the small number of woman applicants General Booth deduces that they are better able to bear up under sorrows and trials than men. He thinks it safe to say that seventy five per cent of the applicants have been diverted from contemplated suicide and helped to surmount their difficulties. Clergymen, naval and military offi- fers, doctors newspaper men and bakers were among those saved from committing suicide. General Booth considers that the results more than justified the institution of the bureaus, which henceforth will have a permanent place in the operations of the Salvation Army. Southern Colorado Power Company. Denver.—With the incorporation of the Southern Colorado Power & Railroad Company yesterday, a step has been taken toward the instituting of a series of power houses in southern Colorado which promises to work as great benefit to the southern portion of the state as the Northern Colorado company has to northern Colorado. The new company is incorporated for $1,500,000 and the incorporators are W. F. Schuyler, K. C. Schuyler and C. Speiss of Denver. There are a number of eastern capitalists behind the project and the immediate work of construction will be started within a few weeks. The district included by the company will be the counties of Huerfano and Las Animas. Central plants will be established in the cities of Trias-lad and Walsenburg for the supplying of electricity to the near-by mining camps and to the cities themselves. It is stated that the street railroad of Trinidad will be secured by the Southern Colorado Company. Christian Psychology Chicago—Bishop Fallows began Thursday night at st. Paul's Reformed Episcopal church his demonstration of the efficacy of Christian psychology as a cure for human ills. He was so overwhelmed with applications for treatment that in place of giving individual treatment he was compelled to treat his "patients" in a measure en masse. More than 1,300 persons appeared at the hour appointed for his demonstration. After outlining briefly what he deemed to be the limitations of the psychological method, Bishop Fallows gave private interviews to those with whom he had appointments and invited the others to come at a future time.

"Oh, yes; very well," replied the patient; "seven years. You see, they let me do pretty near as I please because I'm harmless." "Are you married?" "Sure. I have a wife who used to throw things at me every time I came in the house." "How sad! Do you know how she manages to live?" "She's getting along all right. Her brother, who is a rich bachelor, is takin' care of her. He never would give up a cent, though, as long as I was able to work, confound him." "And what do you do here?" "Sit around mostly, smokin' and waitin' for the next meal time." "Say," said the visitor, speaking softly, and drawing a little nearer to the patient, "just between ourselves, how did you get them to send you here?"—Chicago Record-Herald. Sermons by Time. "I have attended church in a good many different places," said the southern man, "but I had to come to New York to see a man preach holding his watch in his hand. Down in our part of the country the pulpit orator is usually long-winded. He has a certain subject in mind and has certain things to say concerning it, and he holds forth until he has said them all if it takes till bedtime to do it. "Up here the time that can be devoted to the delivery of a sermon appears to be limited. In order not to overstep the bounds several clergymen that I have heard talked literally by the watch. They did not lay it down or stick it into a convenient pocket to be consulted occasionally, but held it out face up as a constant reminder that time was fleeting and that other pressing engagements awaited them. That may be an excellent preventive of weariness in the congregation, but I must say it makes me uncomfortable to have spiritual advice measured by the minute and second."—N. Y. Press.

TAFT TALKS ON THE PANIC MONEY MARKET HAD BEEN SHAPING FOR A STRINGENCY FOR NEARLY A YEAR. BAD BANKING METHODS DISCLOSURES SHOWING VIOLATIONS OF LAW SHOCKED Boston.—At the Boston Merchants' banquet Monday night Secretary William H. Taft delivered his first public speech since his world-circling tour. As the secretary of war rose to speak all the guests stood up with him and filled the air with long continued cheers. Calls for "Three cheers for Secretary Taft, the next President of the United States," were heartily acclaimed. The secretary said: "During the last three months the country has suffered from a severe monetary panic. Even yet the clearing house certificates linger in your bank exchanges as emphatic evidence of its severity and of the extreme measures which had to be taken to avoid greater disaster. Doubtless many of my hearers have not recovered from the intense nervous strain and mental suffering to which they have been subjected since the middle of October. The panic has been given a certain political bearing and importance. For this reason I have selected for my topic of tonight 'The panic of 1907, its causes, its probable effects and the relation to it of the policies of the national administration.' "What did cause the panic? Writers on financial subjects, who have given their lives and constant attention to matters of this kind, who are able to institute a comparison of the present panic with previous panics, and who are entirely familiar with the conditions preceding all of them, substantiate, agree upon the cause. "Panies and industrial depressions are the result of the characteristics of human nature, which manifest themselves in business and elsewhere. The world generally has a certain amount of loanable capital available for new enterprises or the enlargement of old ones. In periods of prosperity this capital, with the instrumentalties for enlarging it potentially by credits, is put into new enterprises, which are profitable and the increase in free capital goes on almost in arithmetical progression. After a time, however, expenses of operation and wages increase and the profit from the new enterprise grows smaller. The loanable capital gradually changes its form into investments less and less convertible. Much of that which might be capital is wasted in unwise enterprises, in extravagance in living, in wars and absolute destruction of property, until the available free capital becomes well-nigh exhausted the world over, and the progress of new enterprises must await the savings of more. Men continue to embark in new enterprises, however, the capital fails them, and disaster comes. "The conclusion cannot be avoided that the revelation of irregularity, breaches of trust, stock jobbing, overissues of stock, violations of laws and lack of rigid state insurance companies, railroad companies, traction companies and financial corporations, shocked investors and made them withhold what little loanable capital remained available. Such disclosures had much more effect probably abroad than they had here, because here we were able to make distinctions, while there, at a remote distance, the revelations created distrust in our whole business fabric. "When, therefore, two or three institutions, banks and trust companies supposed to be solid, were found to have their capital impaired by stock jobbing of their officers, the public was easily frightened and the runs upon banks began. The question then became not one of loanable capital, but of actual money to be used in the transactions of the day, a very different question, though of course closely related. "The agents and sympathizers and defenders of the trusts and others innocent but mistaken, now rush forward to place the blame of the present conditions upon the administration. They seek to use the panic as an argument for giving up the moral victory which has been won. Apparently they would take a retrograde step back to the conditions which existed five or six years ago, where, unhampered by state laws, these trusts were building the financial bulwarks behind which they are now fighting. "They rely upon the soreness and the mental strain and suffering through which all the honest business men of the community have had to pass as a golden opportunity for driving home their attacks upon the administration and for paralyzing the onward movement toward the supremacy of the law. "It is said that the administration has arraigned the whole business community as dishonest. I deny it. "The President has condemned the lawbreakers. He convinced those who have unlawfully accumulated enormous powers and capital, that they are not immune. He has put the fear of the law in their hearts. They have been acute enough to attempt to protect themselves by giving the impression that his action has been directed against the whole business community. It is true that the business men of our community as a whole are honest and their methods are sound. The President has never said otherwise. Indeed, it is chiefly in the interest of the great body of honest business men that he has made his fight for lawful business methods." Would Educate Negroes. Lexington, Ky.—The most important action of the Southern Educational Association, which closed its eighteenth annual session here Saturday, came at the last moment before adjournment, when the committee on resolutions presents the following strong resolutions on negro education, which were adopted unanimously: "We endorse the accepted policy of the states of the South in providing facilities for the youth of the negro race, believing that whatever the ultimate solution of this grievous problem may be, education must be an important factor in that solution. We believe that the education of the negro in the elementary branches of education should be made thorough and should include specific instruction in hygiene and home sanitation for the better protection of both races. We believe that in the secondary education of negro youth emphasis should be placed upon agriculture and the industrial occupations, including nurse training, domestic science and home economics. We believe that for practical economical and physiological reasons negro teachers should be provided for negro schools. We recommend that in urban and rural negro schools there should be closer and more thorough supervision, not only by city and county superintendents, but also by directors of music, drawing, manual training and other special topics. On account of economic and physiological difference in the two races we believe that there should be a difference in courses of study and methods of teaching, and that there should be such an adjustment of school curricula as shall meet the evident needs of negro youth. We insist upon such an equitable distribution of the school funds that all the youth of the negro race shall have at least an opportunity to receive elementary education provided by the state and in the administration of state laws and in the execution of this educational policy we urge patience, tolerance and justice." To Eight Mrs. Eddy's Donation. Boston.—Disputing the power of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science church, to make disposition of so large a part of her for fortune, formal notices have been served upon Trustees McClellan, Fernald and Baker, having in charge Mrs. Eddy's estate, ordering them not to make the $1,000,000 appropriation to found a charitable institution recently announced, or any other appropriation from Mrs. Eddy's estate pending the outcome of litigation. According to former United States Senator William E. Chandler, this action is to be followed by a new lawsuit involving the Christian Science head and her trustees, brought by the "next friends," Mrs. Eddy's son, George W. Glover, his daughter, Mary Baker-Glover, and Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, Dr. Ebenezer J. Foster, of Waterbury, Vermont. The contention of Mr. Chandler is that the proposed appropriation of $1,000,000 is in direct violation of Mrs. Eddy's deed of trust of March 6, 1907, by which she turned over all her property to the three trustees for life, reserving only the right to use the income and certain realty, and which act marked the partial termination of litigation against her and the trustees by the "next friends" a few months since. The new action, it is declared, will be entirely independent of another suit now pending against F. S. Streeter, Mrs. Eddy's attorney in Concord, demanding information concerning the deed of trust for $125,000 set aside by Mrs. Eddy for the benefit of her son, George W. Glover, and his daughter. Conventions Coming to Denver. Denver.—W. F. R. Mills, secretary of the Convention League, has out a complete list of the conventions of importance that will be entertained in Denver during the coming year. In all it is estimated that over 125,000 delegates will be the guests of the city, that figure including the 30,000 people expected for the Democratic national convention. The convention of most importance and the one likely to bring the largest number of delegates is that of the Democrats, which convenes here July 7th. It is estimated that 30,000 will be in attendance, while others claim that the number will reach 50,000 and 75,000. Next in line is the convention of Odd Fellows, which convenes September 21st and will bring in the neighborhood of 30,000 people. The Western Live Stock show, which usually draws a large attendance, will be held here January 20th to 25th, followed, in point of number, by the American Federation of Labor with 10,000 in November. Those are the conventions of most importance to the city. The others that have announced their intention of coming are: National Association of Stationary Engineers, 4,000, September 8th; National W. C. T. U., 5,000, October 23rd; American Society of Civil Engineers, 3,000, July 18th; National Association of Credit Men, 1,000, June 23rd; Association of Bill Posters and Distributors, 1,000, July 14th; Colorado & Wyoming Lumbermens' Association, 500, January 7th; Phi Kappa Psi Fraternit', 500, July 1st; Kappa Sigma Society, 500, July 1st. Attorney Generals of the United States, 75, the day not having been selected. Kansas Religious Revival. Kansas City, Kan.—"Kansas for Christ!" is to be the slogan in a state wide evangelistic campaign that is to be pushed simultaneously in every county of the Sunflower State next year. Hundreds of ministers from various denominations, together with numerous well-known evangelists, are to hold revivals. An entire year will be spent in the movement and an effort is to be made to demonstrate to the whole country what may be accomplished in concerted religious work, carried forward on strictly business lines. The great revival is to be under the leadership of Rev. Edward Blederwolf, who planned it. WEDDED TO AN INDIAN. Miss Cora M. Arnold of Denver Marries Albino Chavarria of New Mexico. Denver.—The News gives the following account of the marriage of a white woman to a Pueblo Indian: Miss Cora Marie Arnold, stepdaughter of the late George Wilder and well known in Denver, was married last Monday in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Albino Chavarria, a full-blooded Indian. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Rendon, a Presbyterian minister, and was witnessed by the bride's sisters, Misses Lillian and Geneva Arnold, also of Denver. The wedding was the end of a romance which had its beginning five years ago during the Mountain and Plain festival in Denver. Chavarria, chief of the Santa Clara Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos, was brought to Denver with a large number of his tribesmen for one of the exhibits. Among those who visited the Indians in their camp at City park was Miss Arnold, who, upon seeing the broad-shouldered, pleasant-mannered chief attired in native costume, immediately formed an attachment for him. She made frequent visits to the camp, and later the Indian was invited to call at her home. Miss Arnold lived with her stepfather and sisters in the Colonnade flats, at Colfax avenue and Marion street, and the family was one of the most prominent on Capitol hill. Miss Lillian Arnold was formerly a teacher in the Denver public schools, and another sister is the wife of a United States army officer. The Indian's first visit to his sweetheart was the cause of a disagreement between her and the remaining members of her family. Objection was made only to the Indian's race, his character being above reproach. Miss Arnold, however, announced her intention to marry the chief despite the objections of her family and friends. Several ministers were asked to perform the ceremony, but all refused. An attempt was made to have the ceremony performed in Santa Fe, but in that city also the clergymen refused to officiate. Miss Arnold returned to Denver alone, but the Indian made frequent visits to the city, each one of which was the cause of a new outburst of gossip. Chavarria is fully civilized, religious, fairly well educated and well to do. He speaks the Indian and Spanish languages, but does not understand English, and Miss Arnold set to work to learn the Spanish. In April, 1905, George Wilder was drowned in the Gulf of Mexico while enroute from Galveston to Havana. He left a will in which he disinherited the present Mrs. Chavaria because of her refusal to give up her Indian lover. The other sisters were left the entire estate, which consists of some of the best real estate in Denver. After five years of effort the sisters of Miss Arnold finally consented to the marriage, and one month ago they went with her to New Mexico. Chavaria owns a large farm near Taos, New Mexico, which he cultivates himself and it is understood that the couple will make their home there. Chavaria is forty-five years old, and his wife is a few years his junior. Admiral Dewey's Birthday. Washington. — Admiral George Dewey was seventy years old Thursday. He is in splendid health and robust in physique. Among his callers were a number of those who attended the admiral's birthday dinner last week, which was advanced in date because President Roosevelt expected to be in Pine Knot, Va., today. These circumstances recalled a happy toast which the President prepared when they drank to the health of the admiral. It follows: "To the man who has done more for and reflected greater glory on America than any other man now living." The toast was met with hearty response from those surrounding the admiral's table. At the meeting of the Naval Relief Association the admiral was presented with two silver ink wells. The health of the admiral was drunk from a decanter, containing Maderia wine of the vintage of 1847. The decanter was formerly the property of George Washington, and Surgeon General Van Reypen, who made the presentation, said it was eminently fitting that the health "of the other George, whom we all love," should be drunk from the same decanter. New York's Record Business. New York.—Although New York has passed through a period of severe financial depression, the foreign business of the port during the year 1907 will break all records. With exact figures for eleven months and an estimate for December, made by the customs authorities, the year's business will reach $1,503,332,902, an increase over last year of $110,127,325 Taking the figures for eleven months and the estimated volume of business for December, it is stated that the imports of foreign merchandise at New York reached the enormous total of $837,692,737 during 1907, while for the same period the exports of domestic merchandise aggregated $665,647,175. The movements of gold and silver show $121,665,769 imported and $79,513,781 exported during the year. The gold and silver imports in the preceding year reached $98,226,055 and the exports $52,000,000. To Facilitate Land Entries. Grand Junction.—One of the most important changes in the land filing laws made under the present administration is announced in a circular received here from R. A. Ballinger, commissioner of the General Land Office. The circular states that after March 1, 1908, the present forms for all land entries will be done away with and that instead of having six or seven forms, only one will be used, this being a consolidation of all the old forms. This action of the government cuts out much red tape which has long been considered unnecessary and expensive. M. B. B. LAWRENCE STEPHEN THIRST HIRST PARLOR THIRST PARLORS. J. L.

A happy New Year to all of our readers. Another 365 days has rolled by and 1908 is here. As we look back over the past year may we not catch a few lessons from the passing days and months. Have we lived our best, have we bowed our will to His authority, have we followed the straightest paths to peace, happiness and success? Paths which are paved by obedience, chastity, perserverence, loyalty, charity and good will. If so our year has been well spent. If not, in this holy season, make sure that this year shall not witness our mistakes renewed. This is the time for taking stock in business. Why should it not also be the time for taking moral stock, spiritual stock, good fellowship stock. The COLORADO STATESMAN wants to be a helper to your joys, to your success, to your business and to your future. Accept from us a New Year greeting. Make us your companion for 1908. Let us come into your home, into your shop or store or office. We want to do you good. We want to give you new ideas, tell you what the world is doing, bring you the latest and the best race news, inform you of the movements of progress and give you a digest of the world's best thinkers, actors, writers, speakers on race subjects. The COLORADO STATESMAN, like good wine, grows better with age. We are full of good cheer, full of hope, full of ambition to make our paper better and increase our circulation. In laying out your new year plans be sure to take this paper into account. MANNERS. Department, in a general sense, is not supposed to be a subject requiring editorial advice, it being presumed that social taste creates and inculcates good manners which applies to ordinary social intercourse, but we have in mind certain criticisms that have been passed upon the Negro in certain capacities or callings which are often the source of his living. The criticism of colored waiters and porters in the dining car and Pullman services, in which they are charged with being "impudent" and "insolent," especially when disappointed. But we consider it best to admit that in numerous instances the rearing of the young Negro does not tend to make him an adept in good manners, such as every ordinary person who earns his living by direct contact with others, and especially as persons in service, ought to be. There was a time when there was no more polite, courteous and good mannered servants in the world than the American Negro, but we doubt that the boast can be safely made today. Waiting and serving are voluntary vocations now everywhere and entirely honorable. If persons are engaged in these callings, they owe it to themselves to fulfill every requirement, but all of them do not. Too many Negro servants are surly, ill-mannered and disagreeable. Such are responsible for the criticisms referred to above. The fault is generally in their raising. Many parents set bad examples before their children and utterly neglect or forget to impress upon them the value of good manners in every walk of life. Some of our parents are scrupulously zealous in forcing children to follow certain rules or mannerism, but the real principle of good manners is often spoiled even in these same homes. Children do what they see or hear their parents do, rather than what the parents tell them to do. So we often hear colored children (and some whites) yelling at other children when demanding a service or when seeking to correct them. This is a sure sign of ill-breeding and inbred insolence. Such children grow up with some knowledge of, but very little respect for real good manners. Their manners lack culture and refinement. They exist only in theory and are practiced with a special motive. The house servant is often thus afflicted. They possess mistaken ideas of pride and often expect their employers to be more courteous to them than they are to the employers. These errors often lead to dissatisfaction and sometimes to disgust on the part of those who furnish the employment. Then comes criticism and discharge. Then white servants find openings. Real good manners are a recommendation to any person and ought to be a servant's stock in trade. While we serve we should serve well. Inbred politeness does not leave a person as a rule. No servant should be first to lose his temper, if he has been properly raised, he will not do so, and employees of all classes are reaching the point where they will be compelled to meet the competition of the whites seeking their places. It will not do to meet the situation with surly defiance. Good manners, inborn, and well practiced, will do more than anything else to win the fight. In so far as our cause is just, we should not be afraid to speak. When we are maligned, we should talk back. But to prove our efficiency beyond a doubt, we must not forget or overlook the value of politeness and good manners under all circumstances. Take one pint of boiled and mashed potatoes, one-half cup of hot milk, three tablespoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two eggs, a little nutmeg, one teaspoonful salt. Add the milk, butter, sugar and seasoning to the mashed potatoes, then add the eggs, well beaten. Stir until smooth and light, spread about one-half inch deep on a buttered dish and set aside to cool. When cold cut into squares, dip into beaten eggs and in bread crumbs, fry brown in boiling fat and serve immediately.

Danger of a Kare of Mental Mollyroddles By DR. THOMAS STOCKHAM BAKER, Lecturer Johns Hopkins University. HE schoolboy of to-day does not do enough work. His school year is not long enough and the vacations are too frequent and too protracted; the real object of going to school is frequently forgotten. We find the boy getting more restless, an increasing craving for excitement; for diversions. Athletics, schoolboy enterprises, yearbooks, newspapers, fraternities, dramatic societies, so-called musical organizations, occupy his attention and drag him away from scholastic work. T It is the duty of the schoolmaster to set his face against the present extravagances in time and neglect of opportunities. Whip and spur are applied to drive the boy into college, no matter what the cost. The schools are getting very bad nerves. Between the violent exercise and the breakneck educational policy, there is little opportunity for repose. Let us stop. The greatest benefit to bestow on a boy is not to place him in college, but to teach him how to study. We hear a great deal nowadays about the manly boy and about the dangers of his becoming a mollycoddle, but in our efforts to amuse him and to make his school life attractive we are in danger of developing a race whose later course will be far more disastrous than if it had enjoyed in its youth a vigorous course of plain living and high thinking. And the eternal college entrance question places in one's way a tremendous temptation to help the boy over the rough places instead of placing the responsibility on him. We coach him, we annotate his texts down to the minutest details, we simplify his tasks, we remove all the inequalities from the high road of learning, and we are in danger of producing a mental mollycoddle, a type whose intellectual powers are distressingly sickly and stunted. The school that has the best atmosphere generally is the school where the most work is done. We do not want a nation of prigs, nor of bookworms, nor of professors, heaven forbid, but we can make use of more scholars and more real students. A Harvard professor has said we do not want the "sweat shop" education of Germany. Perhaps not, but we must admire the results achieved and ought at least to hope for some of the German spirit without its asperities. The amount of ingenuity and mental power that a boy expends in learning the batting average of the leading baseball players, or the peculiarities of the college football teams, is sufficient, if utilized in more scholastic directions, to accomplish great results. Religion's Power to Transform By REV. J. F. MEYER, Unitarian, Milwaukee. Religion's Power to Transform By REV. J. F. MEYER, Unitarian, Milwaukee. True religion has power to transfigure the whole of this poor human life of ours, and to change its often ambitious countenance into an aspect of light and beauty, because it can but a new content, a more glorious meaning and deeper values into each of the three great experience words of life, namely: duty, joy and sorrow. The religious faith can transfigure joy; that it not only increases the natural gladness of our life, but exalts, purifies, and intensifies it, is almost a commonplace of devotional literature. Religion enriches the meaning of the duties of life just as it transfigures its joys. To the religious man, conscience is the voice of God, duties are divine commands, the need of a brother is our divinely given opportunity, an open door which God has set before us; our ideals and aspirations are the inspirations of his spirit, and since they are of God they are not vain imaginations, but assured promises; they are angelic voices calling us to higher planes, the approval of conscience is the smile of a heavenly father, the reproach of conscience is the rebuke of a supreme righteousness, and the pangs of contrition and remorse are the castigations of an infinite love. From the religious point of view every duty faithfully performed, every sacrifice made for conscience sake is an act of obedience to one to whom obedience is due. It is a deed of personal loyalty to one whom the soul both knows and loves. It is an offering of loving gratitude to him who is the source of all the soul's blessings. It is a lesson well learned, a problem set for us to solve by the great eternal teacher. It is a holy and blessed sacrament by which we have real communion with God. This is the transfiguration of duty. Sorrow is the last of the three great words of life. It is the companion word to joy. The great word of religion which corresponds to it is resignation. To the magic of religion even sorrow becomes translucent, as it were, and we see the love of God slung through it all. As the material sun shines through the rifted clouds, so God, who is the sun of our souls, sends the light and warmth of his love through the clouds of sorrow. What the Nurse Ought to Be By ANNIE PAYSON CALL. TO take really good care of one who is ill requires not only knowledge but intelligent patience and immeasurable tact. A little knowledge will go a great way, and we do not need to be trained What the Nurse Ought to Be By ANNIE PAYSON CALL. TO take really good care of one who is ill requires not only knowledge but intelligent patience and immeasurable tact. A little knowledge will go a great way, and we do not need to be trained nurses in order to help our friends to bear their illnesses patiently and quietly and to adjust things about them so that they are enabled to get well faster because of the care we give them. Sometimes if we have only 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night to be with a sick friend, we can so arrange things for the day and for the night that we will have left behind us a directly curative influence because our invalid feels cared for in the best way, and has confidence enough to follow the suggestions we have given. More depends upon the spirit with which we approach an invalid than anything else. A trained nurse who has graduated at the head of her class and has executive ability, who knows exactly what to do and when to do it, may bring such a spirit of self-importance and bustle that everything she does for the invalid's ease, comfort and recuperation is counteracted by the unrestful "professional" spirit with which the work is done. On the other hand, a woman who has only a slight knowledge of nursing can bring so restful and unobtrusive an atmosphere with her that the invalid gains from her very presence. Overwhelming kindness is not only tires me and of an annoying, but a serious drag on one who is ill. No. 2 regular price, 4c yard, 25c piece. No. 3 regular price, 5c yard, 35c piece.

WHO'S THE BOSS WHO'S THE BOSS Once upon a time a youth who had commenced to navigate the sea of matrimony went to his father and said, "Father, who should be boss, I or my wife?" Then the old man smiled and said: "Here are 100 chickens and a team of horses. Hitch up the horses, load the chickens into the wagon, and wherever you find a man and his wife dwelling stop and make inquiry as to who is the boss. Wherever you find a woman running things leave a chicken. If you come to aplace where the man is in control, give him one of the horses." After 79 chickens had been disposed of, he came to a house and made the usual inquiry. "I'm the boss o' this ranch," said the man. "Got to show me." So the wife was called, and she affirmed her husband's assertion. "Take whichever horse you want," was the boy's reply. So the husband said, "I'll take the bay." But the wife didn't like the bay horse, and she called her husband aside and talked to him. He returned and said, "I believe I'll take the gray horse." "Not much," said Missouri.

Silent Owl Cured Polly of His Extreme Garrulousness. "A parrot is the meanest of creatures," said an old resident of Staten Island. "People that are acquainted with parrots generally admit that there is nothing that can make a parrot ashamed of himself. Now that is a mistake, for I happen to have a parrot that was made ashamed of himself just the other week, and he is the most conceived parrot, too, that was ever seen outside of congress. It speaks Spanish and English like a professional interpreter. Now the trouble was the parrot would talk all the time when he was not asleep. He was just talking us deaf, dumb and blind. Even the cat got disgusted at an early stage of the proceedings and quit the house. "Well, the other day a man who has had considerable experience of parrots happened to drop in, and when I complained of the bird he said, 'Why don't you get an owl? You get an owl, and hang him up close to the parrot's cage, and in about two days you'll find that your bird's dead sick of unprofitable conversation.' "Well, I got a small owl and put him in a cage close to the parrot's cage. The parrot began by trying to dazzle the owl with his conversation, but it wouldn't work. The owl sat and looked at the parrot just as solemn as a cop who has just lost his job on the force, and after a while the parrot tried him with Spanish. It wasn't of any use. Not a word would the owl let on to understand. Then the parrot tried bragging, and laid himself out to make the owl believe that of all the parrots in existence he was the ablest. "But he couldn't turn a feather of the owl. That noble bird sat silent as the grave and looked at the parrot as if to say, 'This is indeed a melancholy exhibition of imbecility!' Well, before night that parrot was so ashamed of himself that he closed for repairs, and from that day to this he has never spoken an unnecessary word. Such is the influence of example, even on the worst of birds." Honey for the Honeymoon. Honey for the Honeymoon. My old hatred of waste makes me intolerant when happiness is missed or squandered, and when my young married friends grow confidential. I fear that modern wedding trips are often disappointments. I wonder why? "Perhaps I expected too much," sighed one youthful bride, whose honeymoon had not been all she had hoped or intended. "Nonsense, my dear," said I, "how can one expect too much of wedded love? It is far more likely that you expected too little, and did not make adequate preparation. I fancy you set out badly and with one-sided notions as to the honey. Did you expect to undergo a strong test of character and of love? Did you expect to take the honey with you as part of the trousseau? Did you expect to find yourself responsible for at least one-half of the whole supply? Did you expect to give far more than you got? If not, you expected too little—not too much."—From "Where Is Your Husband?" by George Frost. Not Satisfied. There is a bright young attache at the British embassy in Washington who, shortly after his arrival in this country, was a guest at a dinner given by the wife of a well-known official at the national capital, a hostess whose hospitality is notoriously inadequate, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. The repast was of the usual "sample" kind expected by any one who had ever been a guest at the house. It served merely as an appetizer to the hungry Briton, and when coffee was brought his ill-concealed dissatisfaction was most amusing to the other guests. The hostess, however, did not notice it, for she said to him amiably: "Now, do tell me when we may have the pleasure of having you dine with us agian?" "Immediately, madam, immediately," was the unexpected reply. Newman's Last "Dear" Brother. By the death of Father Ryder at the Birmingham (Eng.) Oratory the last left of the group of friends to whom Cardinal Newman dedicated the "Apologia" has passed away. Henry Ignatius Dudley Ryder ends the list of those "dearest brothers" who had Newman avowed, been "so sensitive of my needs, so indulgent to my failings, so cheerful under discouragements of my causing." The whole passage covers a page and elicited from George Eliot a marginal note as interesting as itself: "I hardly know anything that delights me more," she wrote, "than such evidence of sweet, brotherly love being a reality in the world." Father Ryder was a grandson of the well-known Anglican bishop of Lichfield of his name, and was easily the handsomest man in the ranks of the Roman clergy. Conacientious. The stranger wandered into the police station. "I like to see effort rewarded," he began. "Well." "Last night I was robbed," he continued, "and the fellow who did it manifested a scrupulous desire to get all I had. I find he overlooked this two-dollar bill. If you run across him, give it to him with my compliments." —Philadelphia Ledger. Confession of Weakness. Teacher—If you are kind and polite to your playmates, what will be the result?

United States Senator Penrose is considered well versed in many things, but, unlike many men of the world, knows nothing about the click of the poker chips. Recently while in Washington he met a number of senators engaged in the fascinating American game. He lingered about the table chatting, to the annoyance of the players, and was finally invited to take a hand. "Why, I don't know one card from another," he said. "Well, we will fix up a schedule of the relative value of the different hands for you," said a western senator, with a wink at his colleagues. He proceeded to write down, "one pair, two pair," up to a "royal flush." The Pennsylvanian was told that the hands increased in value from the top of the list to the bottom. Penrose, not to be unsociable, bought a stack of chips, and mechanically played the game, frequently consulting his list. "What is it when the cards are all one color," said the senator after a pot had been opened and several of his colleagues had "stayed." "That's a flush," they exclaimed. Consulting the guide which had been given him and seeing that "flush" was near the bottom, he announced: I think I had better raise it. The cards were dealt, and the Pennsylvanian "stood pat." The opener threw in a white chip, and the others followed suit, until it reached Penrose, who again raised the pot to the limit—a ten-dollar blue chip. No one "called," and as Penrose drew in the chips one of the players inquired: "What have you got?" Penrose threw down his hand face upward, disclosing three hearts and two diamonds. "That's not a flush," they all cried out. "Isn't it?" drawled Penrose. "I guess I had better quit," and he cashed in a winner. That was the only poker game he ever played. A Prophet's Prophecy of His Death. The noise of Nixon's predictions reached the ears of King James, who must need sees this fool. Nixon cried out and made such ado that he might not go to court; and the reason he gave was that he should survive. A whimsical fancy this was considered. The king being informed of Nixon's refusal to go to court said that he would take particular care that he should not starve and ordered him to be presented. He was sent for again and soon after a messenger brought him from Cheshire. That he might be well provided for, it was ordered that he should be kept in the kitchen, where he grew so troublesome in licking and picking the meat that the cooks locked him in a closet, and the king going on a sudden from Hampton court to London, they forgot poor Nixon in the hurry and he was really starved to death.—From "Prophecy and the Occult," by Reo Bennett, in the Metropolitan. He Was the Limit. The dear girls were composing notes on subjects of more or less importance. "Your beau seems rather bashful," said Stella. "Bashful!" echoed Mabel. "Why, bashful is no name for it." "Why don't you encourage him?" queried her friend. "I have tried," answered Mabel, "but the attempt was a measly failure. Only last night I sat all alone on the sofa and he perched up in a chair as far away as he could get. I asked him if he didn't think it strange that the length of a man's arm was the same as the distance around a woman's waist, and what do you think he did? "Just what any sensible man would have done—tried it, I suppose." "Not any, thank you. He asked if I could find a piece of string, so we could measure and see if it was a fact. Amn't he the limit?" An Unpleasant Office The task assigned to the bell-boy at a small New England hotel was no sinecure, and he realized it, for the old gentleman who had requested that he be awakened for an early breakfast was extremely deaf, says the Youth's Companion. "I don't know what I'll do about the man in No. 41, that wanted to go off on the seven o'clock train," the bell-boy announced breathlessly to the proprietress. "Haven't you waked him up yet?" demanded that brisk person. "I've waked him three times," said the boy, sulkily, "but he hasn't heard me yet. Everybody else has, though, on that floor. I know, because they've all hollered to me to stop battering on their doors." One Case Anyway. "You hear so many people nowadays quoting about 'the way of the transgressor.' What does that mean to you, anyway?" asked Young. "My boy," replied Hanskeep, "the weigh of the transgressor is usually 1,700 pounds of coal or less to the ton." Might Save Time "John, I can't make up my mind whether to christen baby after Aunt Jane or Aunt Mary." "O, Aunt Jane, of course. She's quite as rich and ever so much more delicate." CAMPBELL BROS.

Professor Kuhnemann of the University of Berlin was tremendously impressed, on his recent visit to Boston, with the learning of Boston's women. "From the highest to the lowest class," Professor Kuhnemann said at the Lorraine, "I find the women of Boston marvelously learned. To find a scholar's daughter learned is not surprising, but when one finds learning in a hodcarrier's daughter, one can't but be impressed." Professor Kuhnemann smiled thoughtfully. "How different things are in London," he said. "There I once overheard a cook correcting the grammar of a house maid. "Don't say 'ax,' you wulgar critter,' corrected the cook; 'say 'harak.'" Geographically Speaking. "I have just finished Lansing, Michigan," said the surgeon. "And I," said the carpenter, "am now engaged in Macon, Georgia. "My job," said the man with the wheelbarrow, "is Wheeling, West Virginia."—Chicago News. Character begins in the cradle. Stolen Antiquities. It is asserted by good authority that nearly all the rare art antiquities to be found in the museums of various countries have at some time in their history been the possession of thieves. Valuable vestments and rare old paintings are stolen every year from churches where they are valued more highly than gold of their own weight. A gentleman well versed in such matters tells us that Napoleon stole the nose from off the Sphinx that he might carry it home as a relic to be placed in a curio museum. And had not the Pyramids been of such proportion and weight they would now be gracing the different museums of the world, reposing in fragments in glass-fronted cases. Alveolar Dentistry.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by drug-gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y.

Massachusetts and Connecticut are generally thought of as the big shoe manufacturing states, but, as the great west has become more densely populated, these states are slowly losing prestige. Wisconsin, for instance, has the largest manufacturer of full vamp shoes in the world—The F. Mayer Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The market for this company's product is the great west from the Mississippi to the Pacific. Undoubtedly it is Milwaukee's nearness to this great west market which is responsible for the great growth of this concern which has been in proportion to the growth of the west. In the last 25 years they have outgrown six factories. Including the new Seattle factory nearly completed and the Milwaukee factory annex built this last year the total capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe Company exceeds 9,000 pairs per day, which already has been inadequate to meet the demand of the west. Sensible to the Last. An old Scotch woman used to be attended by a doctor to whom she invariably gave a guinea when he went to see her. He had told the friends with whom she lived that her death would probably be sudden, and one day he was hurriedly sent for, as she appeared to have become unconscious. On his arrival he saw at once that she was dead, and, taking hold of her right hand, which was closed but not rigid, he calmly extracted from it the fee which she had provided for him, and as he did so, he murmured: "Sensible to the last." No matter what his rank or position may be, the lover of books is richest and happiest of the children of men.—Langford.

Not long ago a large clothing house in New York received a letter from the remote southwest to this effect: "What is the proper dress for a groom in the afternoon?" The clerk who opened the mall referred the inquiry to the livery department, and the head of that department dictated a brief reply: In about a week came a plaintive note: "I always knew it was expensive to get married, but can't you suggest something a little less elaborate?" SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS With Eczema—Her Limb Peeled and Foot Was Raw—Thought Amputation Was Necessary—Believes Life Saved by Cuticura. "I have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad case of eczema on my leg. They did their best, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg cut off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on. The doctor was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B. Renaud, 277 Mentana St., Montreal, Que., Feb. 20, 1907." Changed His Mind.

Baltimore Man Points Out a Few Facts Generally Overlooked. As a matter of fact, it is obvious that more crimes are committed by married men than by single men, for the simple reason that many offenses exceedingly popular among the former are entirely impossible to the latter. One such crime is wife murder. How could a single man murder his wife? There are 775 wife murderers in the United States every year, and all are committed by married men. Again, consider the crime of demonicicide, or mother-in-law killing. Its practice is confined entirely to married men. And forget not the lesser felonies and misdemeanors. How could a single man elope with his wife's sister? How could he desert his children? How could he commit bigamy? How could he flirt with his wife's maid? How could he be accused of non-support? What incentive is there for him to cheat the gas meter, swindle the instalment man or rob his brother-in-law at poker? Being prosperous, well fed and happy—as all bachelors are—why should he steal, forge, embezzle, burgle or fight?—Baltimore Sun. Afraid of Results.

The first toilet is of pale blue chiffon and cobwebby lace, entwined bands and loops of softest pink velvet, and trails of shaded pink roses appliqué in hand-painted velvet and satin or velvet, the coat which on its fronts and hem embroider the finest description, and which always displays a number of tassels at unexpected points. gowns of this genre are becoming to women who take in things picturesque. There thing very attractive and suba gown which seems to hide lines of the figure, but which it displays them. The idea ap women of imagination, and variations can be worked out The other gown is of oyster white satin, patterned with cloud-like flecks of pale gold and wrought, too, with great roses of a brighter gold, this beautiful fabric being displayed to full advantage by the absolutely simple lines of the gown which—as you may see by the sketch—follows the much-favored empire style. Some softly crossed folds of flesh-pink tulle form a sort of square chemisette at the collote, and laid lightly over the shoulders are wide stoles of a gold-meshed net and cobwebby lace, broidered with circlets of gold rimmed round with silver and little flowers whose petals again bring the gold and silver together and soften them with touches of white silk. These stoles fall almost to the hem of the gown, their graceful career being only temporarily interrupted by the swathed folds of the empire belt, while the back of the skirt forms a plain panel, graduated into a point which is carried high above the waist-line. Our single column illustration displays a costume built for style and grace as well as utility. It is in black and white striped tweed, trimmed with black stitching and black velvet cuffs and collar. A black hat with black glace ribbon arranged in large loops at the side completes the outfit. To go back in our thought again to evening gowns and speak of a strong tendency towards the new outline robe. We may not go so far as to have our gowns pasted to our limbs, as were some of the ultra-tight gowns of old, but without doubt we shall soon find it necessary to adopt the chamois combination which was in such favor a few years ago! Already many of these tight-fitting skirts are provided with cleverly arranged elastics, which draw the material back over the hips and above the knees, throwing all the fulness behind. It is appropriate and suitable that this style of robe should come to us at a moment when art satin is in the full tide of favor. This material is essentially the right one for evening wear, or afternoon gowns of the Tallen order because it is sufficiently heavy in texture in hang in delightfully graceful folds, and yet it is as supple as crepe de chine. Chiffon velvet is another favorite material of the hour, and in certain shades of blue, bleu-Nattier or bleu pastel, it is exquisite. Certainly the tendency is to make evening skirts of the richest materials and to leave them practically untrimmed. Satin and chiffon velvet are treated in this way, but then Fashion dictates that over these plain, very tight-fitting robes picturesque draperies in transparent materials shall be worn. The effect is delightful and eminently flattering to most women. The transparent draperies are arranged in many different ways. Some take the form of wing-like sleeves which leave the outer part of the arms quite bare, but which fall at either side in long folds. Then again there is the transparent coat that is so effective when thrown over a perfectly moulded gown of satin or velvet, the coat which shows on its fronts and hem embroideries of the finest description, and which nearly always displays a number of lovely tassels at unexpected points. Evening gowns of this genre are infinitely becoming to women who take delight in things picturesque. There is something very attractive and subtle about a gown which seems to hide the outlines of the figure, but which in reality displays them. The idea appeals to women of imagination, and endless variations can be worked out on the simple theme. In spite of the triumph of velvet this season, which will certainly go on increasing all the winter, the lovely fine cloths, with their sheeny, satiny surface, and their wonderful suppleness which makes them take such beautiful folds, have never been ```markdown ``` A Handsome Street Dress. popular with the dressmakers; and no wonder, for they lend themselves so admirably to either the draped skirts, which are the latest fashion, or to the princess and empire styles, which, in sporting vernacular, are "going stronger than ever." Indeed, certain houses in Paris seem to have nailed their colors to the mast; and, in spite of the fact that the empire designs were already ruling the roost two years ago, they are making nothing else this year for afternoon and evening wear. If anything, they are more intensely empire than ever, and the long clinging skirt, which, catching on the wearer's instep as she walks, draws the skirt tight and reveals the whole outline of her limbs, with the little bolero jacket covered with braiding and fringe, might have been taken direct from a fashion plate of the period. Actor-Managers. If Lillian Nordica finally carries out her project for an American Bayreuth she will not be the first singer to emerge as a manager. Jean de Reskezha has a private theater in Paris, acoustically perfect, and there the other day Rossini's "Barber of Seville" was sung by the owner, his brother Edouard, Adelina Patti and Mario Ancona, and many people remember the ill-fated venture of Van Dyck, a Wagner tenor once almost the idol of a section of the Metropolitan opera house public here. Last season, he gave German opera in London. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.
