THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE NEGRO In the North as Viewed by Ray Stannard Baker in His Magazine Articles, "Following the Color Line." VOL. XIV, THE N In the North as Viewed by Ray S Articles, "Following Ray Stannard Baker is following the color line, as he calls it, through the cities of the North; trying to trace the fortunes of those Negroes who leave the Southland, and try to better themselves in the Northern industrial centers. Baker is one of the best reporters there is in the country, and his account of what he sees on this quest is not encouraging. For while there may be less social ostrasism of the Negro in the North than in the South, there is a great deal more of economic discrimination. In the South, no one questions the right of the Negro to work at anything he pleases. In the North there are many trades absolutely closed to him. Many unions will admit no Negro members; and thousands of Northern employers will employ no Negroes. Competition is fiercer and, though the rewards are greater, there are few Negroes who reap those rewards. Baker says truly that no life on earth makes such demands on mind and muscle as does the industrial life of the great Northern cities of America. The Negro simply cannot come up to those in industrial requirements. Some do, of course; but they are exceptions. The story is told in the vital statistics. In all the large cities the Negro population is kept up only by new arrivals from the South. The birth rate is low, the death rate terribly high; often twice and three times as high as that of the whites. And Baker shows as well that North, as well as South, the two races are separating, drawing each unto itself. It is the old law of segregation; and it is working as beautifully as Herbert Spencer himself could have wished. What the end will be, the News does not pretend to say. The race problem is the greatest, most heart breaking problem that fronts America today; and no one who has given it conscientious thought dreams of dogmatizing as to the solution. We only know that while the black problem is with us we shall do our uttermost to see that no yellow problem is added to our difficulties. This may be selfishness, or again it may be only legitimate self preservation. We are not concerned to inquire.—Rocky Mountain News. The Negro and Tuberculosis. At this time there is much excitement about the prevalence of tuberculosis among colored people or, in other words, there is a consumption scare." The physicians say that it comes from not breathing fresh air coming through transoms and well arranged windows. Whether it is true or untrue, that the death rate from this dreaded disease is four times as great among us as among the whites, matters not, but it does matter much if we fail to do our part to prevent the spread of it in even small proportions. It falls upon the women of the household to see that certain rules are observed by the family and in if doubt, consult your physician. We all know that for the most part our churches are very poorly ventilated. They are heated to the highest, without a window or transom being open, then perhaps after a while, someone pulls down a window with a direct draft on some one else, then of course, it is closed again. The foul air has no outlet, and the fresh air fails to get in. It is useless to dispute with fact and figures end try to console ourselves by saying that the whites are dying with the consumption, too. Of course they are, but that does not keep us from dying or from having a particular disease; neither does it make it any easier to bear because they have it. Mothers should take special pride in teaching their children cleanliness and the benefits of good health. You perhaps may not have as much of this world's goods as some one else, but you can be clean. Water is free and Board of Health will gladly furnish soap to those who are too poor to buy it. At Chicago last week a number of colored people met at Fullerton hall, and an organized movement to check tuberculosis among the Negroes of that city was begun. Perhaps other large cities may follow, but do not wait for that, begin to-day in you own home and wherever you are employed. The burden in this case as in most others rests on the women and I am sure they will not fail to carry it, without complaint, and to success.—Freeman. Washington. Feb. 18.—Major John R. Lynch of the pay corps, one of the few Negroes holding commissions in the army, has been ordered before a retiring board in the Philippine Islands, where he DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1903. is stationed. Major Lynch is chief paymaster of the department of the Visayas, at Ililo, and is a victim of the recent horsemanship test. Crispus Attucks at Boston. BY CHAS. D. CLEM. [March 5, 1770, in the streets of Boston, was shed the first blood for American Independence and among the first to fall was the Negro slave, Attucks, the recognized leader of the citizens.] They were armed men who held the town, Determined to crush its spirit down, But they were met with jeers and snubs From men whose weapons were but clubs. Who had no guns nor burnished arms, No flags nor scarlet uniforms. But they were men who would not kneel Beneath a haughty tyrant's heel. "Where is the man."—the people cry— "Who is brave enough to fight or die? We'll follow him and heed his call And avenge his death if he should fall." Of Independence, burning bright, And terminated in a fight. A fleeing slave, a dark skinned man Said loudly:—"I will lead the van, Here is the nest, strike at the root And let the hated Red Coats shoot. Then glancing at the British line He said:—"This day the ties which bind On came the storm with fearful mien, It could be felt as well as seen. One moment more of dire suspense, With weapons clenched and muscles tense And Preston gave one short command, Thus Boston massacre began. "Strike at the root,"—brave Attucks cried, "Here is the nest,"—he soon replied, "The musket balls and bayonets thrust Our bodies through, fight on, we must; If you should fall, be not ashamed To die ten deaths in Freedom's name." F.i-r-e-! was the order a second time, Bang! went the guns all down the line; A lurid flame, a puff of smoke, Confusion reigned; the column broke; And on the ground the dark skinned man, Who maintained such a stubborn stand The news that American blood was shed Throughout the Nation quickly spread; "On to the field,"—the people cry,— "On to the field to fight or die, We will not wear Great Britain's voke Her course, she must at once revoke Or meet us on the field," and then The massacre was at an end. With moistened eyes and measured tread They buried their heroic dead, And over head they reared a stone To tell to ages then unknown, Of why he fought and how he fell In this the British empire's knell. SOCIAL EQUALITY IN THE SOUTH. Canton, Miss., February.—In its final report to Judge W. H. Potter the Madison county grand jury bitterly denounced the white men who are living with mistresses. The report is in part as follows: "We find that the disgraceful vice of white men living with Negro women in unlawful cohabitation has grown to an alarming extent and threatens our commonwealth with a mongrel race which will be a menace to our country. We find that the various officers of the law, throughout the country, and especially the mayor of the city of Canton, who especially neglects his duty in this behalf, have apparently ignored the existence of this vice. Especially have we found this to be the case within the city of Canton, where we find in many instances the wenches have been fined by the mayor small sums and her white paramour shielded, or let go free, or his name held out for fear of exposing him. We condemn this without terms, and we earnestly recommend that white men who have Negro women concubines be dealt with to the full extent till the vice is broken up or such undesirable citizens find it more congenial to seek other places. We find that the city of Canton is honeycombed with "white gentlemen" who have their Negro women or wives, with whom they reside after night, but because of insufficient evidence to secure a conviction we have passed up several instances for the consideration of the next grand jury."—Vicksburg Evening Post. South Carolina vs. Afro-Americans. In beploring the fact that South Carolina has not a compulsory educational law on her statue books a leading paper of that section declares that, she has not and for no other reason than that a large percentage of her population are Negroes. In other words the whites would be forced to send their children to school, a thing they do not now do. If the law would not be equally effective as to the colored folk, and the powers that be do not want to educate that class as they look upon them as undesirable citizens. One would suppose that the whites of the state of Tillman are imbued with two high and lofty purposes of state to not eagerly educate their children. Who would have thought after having listened to a Tillman tirade that there was a single white man in all South Carolina that need to be even reminded that the children must be sent to school. Tillman declares that it is in South Carolina where the ideal American citizens are to be found, and that the white population is free from European slum adulteration and that true Aryan blue blood flows in every white man's veins in South Carolina. But despite his allegations the educational status among the whites of South Carolina is at such a low ebb that a compulsory school law is sadly in need or lest an overwhelming majority of her white citizens be overtaken and devoured by the blue imps of ignorance. More is the pity that a compulsory school law is not placed on the statute books immediately if not sooner. The starting point about the whole situation, however, is the fact that, the law is not wanted because it would operate on the Afro-Americans the same as the Anglo Saxon. So long as a state in this union of states or anywhere else is so narrow and bigoted as to carry class legislation on her statuate books, it will continue in the damnable condition that South Carolina is now in and will be ruled over by such dangerous demagogues as Tillman and his anarchistic cohorts. The history of South Carolina ever since the establishment of the United States independdece has been one of revolution, a refractory sister and it will continue such until education becomes more generally disseminated among the masses and especially among the whites. The Afro-American, despite his surroundings, is struggling to educate his children while the Anglo Saxon is still grooping in ignorance the same as he has been for the past two centuries and we here predict that many of these living in South Carolina at this time will live to see the state snatched from its present ignorant tyrants and be ruled over by statesmen from those who are now being oppressed by the Tillmanic brigands and border outlaws.—Seattle Republican. BISHOP TURNER'S ADVICE In a recent address Bishop H. M. Turner said: "I have more respect for the devil than I have for some American people. There is no Jim-Crowism in hell. In this respect the devil shows himself to be vastly superior to many of our American citizens. "I am able to pay as much fare as anybody." he continued. "It is a travesty upon decency and common justice that I should be forced in a dirty, unclean, poorly ventilated car and at the same time pay as much fare as the man who rides in a clean, comfortable and decent car. "We must speak out against these things. The world will think we are satisfied with anything forced upon us, unless we strenuously object to all kind of discrimination." NO. 24. The enthusiasm of two hundred colored people at the Majestic Theatre last week in New York City nearly put a stop to the performance when one of the audience recognized Booker T. Washington in the gallery. "There's Mr. Washington!" shouted the man as the founder of Tuskgee slipped quietly into a seat in the balcony a few moments after Williams and Walker began their act. Many gathered about Mr. Washington trying to shake hands with him, and others cheered while the actors waited for a chance to be heard. Williams and Walker sent a message to Mr. Washington offering him a box, but he declined, saying he had just dropped in for a moment on his way to the hotel. Today Mr. Washington said at the Manhattan Hotel that he was deeply touched by the greeting he had received. "I greatly appreciated the heartiness and sincerity of their welcome," he said. Stockbridge, N. Y. Feb. 15. Miss Alice Byington, who died recently here, educated by private funds several Negro girls, and assisted other Negroes in various ways.

They also have bank accounts long established and nourished by Miss Byington. To Mrs. Smith, whom Miss Byington educated at Hampton schools, was left a house and lot in Raleigh, N. C. Benjamin Jones of Norfolk, Va., who received $500 by the will, is another Negro in whom Miss Byington was interested. George Thaddeus Williams of Kittrell, N. C., now at Hampton schools got $500 by the will. Lovey A. Mayo of Kittrell, N. C., who was bequeathed $1000, was an old-time Negro cook in the employ of Miss Byington for years. WHAT IS SUCCESS? A Boston firm recently asked the question, "What constitutes success?" and a woman from Kansas got a prize of $250 for giving the following definition, which every man should pin in his hat and every woman frame it where the eyes may gaze upon it during the day. "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and women and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task, who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved seed, a perfect poem, or a recued soul, who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."—Exchange. After suffering for seven years, this woman was restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Read her letter. Mrs. Sallie French, of Paucaunla, Ind. Ter., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had female troubles for seven years—was all run-down, and so nervous I could not do anything. The doctors treated me for different troubles but did me no good.

"Is this the police station?" inquired a woman's voice. "It is," said C. E. McVey, the desk sergeant. "Well, I wish you all'd send the patrolium wagon over to Fourth and Oak streets right away. Ole Bill's got drunk again and he's just raising Calin. And say," the voice added, "if you all don't send that wagon mighty quick you all might as well send a hearse, 'cause I goin' to hit that fool nigger in a minute." The wagon made a "hurry" run, but returned empty a few minutes later. The driver reported that he could find no trouble—Kansas City Star. CURED HER CHILDREN. Girls Suffered with Itching Eczema—Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too—Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema. Itching eruptions formed on the backs of their heads which were simply covered. I tried almost everything, but failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme. Napoleon Duceppe, 41 Duluth St., Montreal, Que, May 21, 1907." A man and a dog Sharpe (ditto)—Confound it! I want ed to bring him up as a vegetarian. Billion Dollar Grass.

But he sho' did have enough ter make him growl—dat he did. De devil say: 'Looky yere, Job, you in my power, now, an' I gwine ter 'flict you wid a few biles.' An' Job say: 'All right; I kin stan' it ef you kin.' But de biles commence ter break out so thick an' fas' dat Job say: 'Looky yere, man, dese ain't no biles—dis de smallpox, sho' ez you b'on.' An' he eetch and eetch so dat he had ter scratch hisse' f wid a goat's head. Den de devil git in a high win' and blow down Job's house; an' dat wuz too much. So ol' Job lif' up his voice an' he say: 'Looky yere, I bargain fer biles, but I didn't want no harricane th'owed in fer good measure.'"—Atlanta Constitution.

The surgeon's duties require clear judgment and a steady hand. A slip or an unnecessary incision may do irreparable damage to the patient. When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an Ills. surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story. "For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so I could hardly write, and insomnia tortured me at night. "Besides, how could I safely perform operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of precision? When I saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious. At this time I gave some Postum to a friend who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A few days after, I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, declaring he would never return to coffee but stick to Postum. We then ordered a full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disappeared, blood circulation became normal, no dizziness nor heat flashes. "My friend became a Postum enthusiast, his whole family using it exclusively. "It would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served. "The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can rely on it. It ought to become the national drink."

Omaha.—Thursday was “Bryan Day” in Omaha, For that matter it was “Bryan Day” throughout Nebraska. With the Democratic state conven- tion as a nucleus, party leaders from every county and practically every pri- mary district in the commonwealth gathered here to pledge allegiance to the presidential aspirations of Mr. |Bryan to consider means for fur- thering his interests before the Demo- cratic national convention at Denver next July. The platform as a whole was largely Mr. Bryan’s own work. That it re- ‘flected the leader's views as to what should form the issues upon which the party suould go before the country next summer, was not denied. Mr. Bryan, however, said that the declarations of the platform were nec- essarily incomplete; that some, sub- jects which undoubtedly will be in- cluded in the national platform were omitted, while others were treated in the Nebraska document in a purposely brief manner so as to allow amplifica- tion at Denver. Enthusiasm was prevalent through- out the day. It broke loose early in the afternoon session of the conven- tion and gradually gathered volume, broke our in tumultuous vociferations when at the beginning of the evening session the platform committee pre- sented this resolution: : “The Democratic party of Nebraska again declares confidence in and ad- miration for William J. Bryan. In him we behold the ideal American citizen— the ideal Democrat. We rejoice that the principies which he has so ably ad- vocated have been gladly received and are now generally accepted by the American people. “Resolved, That the delegates by this convention chosen, be and are hereby instructed to vote as a unit for the nomination of Mr. Bryan for the presidency.” The platform advanced little that was new. The Fowler and Aldrich cur rency bills were condemned. Emer gency currency, it was declared, should be “issuod and controlled by the fed eral government. Immediate revision of the tariff was emphasized as a ne cessity,” the “stand-pat” policy being ridiculed in terms that made the dele gates shout with laughter. A straight declaration in opposition to Asiatic Immigration and a clause favoring the eight-hour working day were decidedly popular. So, too, were the paragraphs favoring extension o! irrigation and reclamation projects. An indorsement of the Drago doc trine, insofar as that doctrine applied to the United States navy, and a dec laration that jury trials’ should be granted defendants in contempt cases where the alleged offense is committed outside the presence of the court caused some notice. One of the well applauded clauses was that dealing with anarchy. There was no reference to govern: ment ownership in the platform; nei- ther was there a “personal liberty clause” therein. The platform says “We rejoice at the increasing signs of an awakening in the United States. The various investigations have traced graft and political corruption to the representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous meth ods by which they have debauched elections preyed upon a defenseless public through the subservient officials whom they have raised to place and power. Dr. Wiley Denounces Alcohol. Washingion.—In a signed statement Just given out, Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the De- partment of Agriculture, makes a vig: orous denial of statements he is alleged to have made recently, one being to the effect that “the man who never takes a drink is a ‘molly coddle.’” The statements attributed to Dr Wiley in regard to whisky and alcohol were made in an address before the University club in Washington Satur day night, February 29th, and he de: clares they “are wholly unwarranted by the facts.” Dr. Wiley is eredited also with hay- ing said in effect that it will be a sorry day for this country if “booze” is ever banished from its domains and that he would have the young man drink whisky not only for his stomach’s sake, but to give him nerve, self-reliance, ete. Here is what Dr. Wiley states hg actually aid say on the occasion re ferred to: “I said I believed the general ef- fect of alcokol on mankind was wholly bad; that it was bad even in small quantities; that if distilled beverages, such as whisky, brandy and rum, had any good effects, they were due to the fact that the aromatic and fragrant substance therein stimulated the di: gestive secretions and thus overcome to a certain extent the bad effect of the alcohol which they contained. “I further said that I was, in theory, a prohibitionist, but that there were practical difficulties in the way of pro: hibition, and that the better plan would be to abolish the saloons and that if people wanted to drink distilled bever- ages they should do so quietly at their homes and with thelr foods and not in saloons. “I did not suggest, nor advise young men to drinie Hquor of any kind, but said that it was always bad.” GOVERNOR BUGHTEL ANGRY. tea te tea Oh eee SB Mesa County. Denver—Governor Buchtel is quoted as having telephoned to Grand Junc- tion the following sharp message: “There is no law to prevent a court from being a jackass if it sees fit.” | There is much speculation here as to the probable outcome of the action of the prosecuting attorney, the sher- iff and the judge in Mesa county who went directly contrary to the orders of Governor Buchtel and convicted Harl Foree of korse stealing after extradi- tion papers had been signed, releasing him to the authorities of Wyoming, where he was wanted for murder. ‘The governor went to Wichita, Kas., ‘Thursday to deliver a lecture. He did not intimate what his probable course of action will be, but the tenor of the letter he wrote to Acting Gov. William R, Schnitger of Wyoming indicates that ‘he is suifictently incensed to demand ‘an accounting from the authorities at Grand Junction, ‘The letter was as fol- lows: “My Dear Goy. Schnitger: I regret to be compelled to report that the dis- trict judge at Grand Junction has pro- ceeded with the trial of Earl Foree, who pleaded guilty to the charge of grand laresny and was sentenced to the penitentiary for eight years. I sent all information to the sheriff of Mesa county about this case and assured him that you would return the prisoner to Mesa county without expense in the | event that you could not convict him on the charge of murder. | “Ido not now see any way in which 1 can help you to bring this prisoner to trial on the charge of murder. I am very eager to help you if I can do so. If you see any way In which he could |be brought to trial on the charge of murder, kindly advise me. T ought not to pardon him for the reason that he could not then be tried again on the charge of grand larceny. “I have no words in which to ex press my disappointment at the con- duet of the judge and prosecuting at- torney in Mesa county, In times like these, when murder is 80 common and when’ murderers are set free by the whims of juries, it seems like a tav- esty on justice to send a man to the penitentiary for horse stealing, when he ought to be tried for murder. ‘The sentence of eight years for horse steal- ing leads me naturally to inquire what that court would do for the unspeak- able crime of rape. In my view, a |brute who assaults little girls ought [to be shot Horse stealing does not impress me as seriously as some other |crimes. Very sincerely yours, | “HENRY A. BUCHTEL, | “Governor of Colorado.” | The following was sent by the gov: ernor to Sheriff Charles F. Schroder of Mesa county, February 27th: “My Dear Sheriff: This letter will |be presented to you by Mr. B. M. Hor- |ton of Carbon county, Wyoming, who will present extradition papers cover: ing the rendition of Earl Foree. In granting the application of the author- ities of the state of Wyoming for the delivery of this man into the custody of that state I am informed that he is heldgby you for the commission of the ferlme of grand larceny. Comity be tween states requires that he be de livered to the state presenting the grav est charge, and as they want to try him for murder, and have assured m [in the form of a letter written by the | governor of that state to the effect ir | case they fail to convict that the pris loner will be returned to you without | expense, I have concluded to grant the papers. “Trusting this will be satisfactory tc | you, I beg to remain, sincerely yours, | “HENRY /A. BUCHTEL, | “Governor.” | This letter makes it perfectly dis |tinet that the governor of Wyoming |had promised to return the prisoner te | Mesa county without expense in the event that he could not be convicted on the charge of murder. Monster Ship Launched. New York.—The Holland-American steamship officials received a cable gram Tuesday telling of the success- ful launching at the yards of Harian & Wolff, Belfast, of the steamship Rotterdam, which is to ply between New Yori and Boulogne and_Rotter- dam, She is 668 feet long, 77 feet beam and has a normal speed of sev- enteen knots.

Canadian Railroad Project. Chicago.—Another big railroad en terprise is projected in northwestern Canada. Application has been made to Parliament for a charter for what is to be known as the Port Simpson & Fort Churchill road, which is to run through northern British Columbia and Assiniboia. The road is to be standard gauge and about 1,600 miles long. The country through which it is to run is pract’cally unexplored, and is said to be the wildest in the whole Dominion. The object of the promoters 1s to con- nect British Columbia with Hudson Bay. American capital {s said to be be- ind the project, Land and Timber Sales.

It is always through the symptoms of an on-coming ailment that physicians decide the course of treatment to be given a patient in order to restore him to normal health, his rightful condition, but lack of skill or intelligent ability on the part of the doctor in diagnosing the case, sends many a sick man to premature and unnecessary death. But physicians complete long and thorough courses of study and professional practice before they are permitted full and unrestricted access to pit their skill and learning against the vast array of human maladies, and people at large may enjoy the trust and belief, at least that their afflictions are receiving sane and scientific treatment. This is the course which long experience has made necessary and imperative. One would suppose that what men have found to be wise, good and necessary in the treatment of bodily ills, would be applied by them in some reasonably intelligent and parallel manner in the treatment of those greater and more dangerous ills which afflict men collective and cause social eruptions, national epilepsy or racial hysteria. The celerity with which uninformed and unscientific individuals apply themselves to the cure of these greater ills, stamps them as us authorized quacks whose cures are worse than the diseases against which they rave. The Anti-Asiatic Leagues recently formed in Denver and Colorado Springs, and the white combinations formed all over the land in which a vari-colored population is born and bred, are the prostums of unskilled quacks who are practising without authority and with deadly result upon the body politic.

The priest brought the pontiff a present of two lions from King Menelik of Abyssinia, and a message expressing the desire of the King to insure the security of Catholic missionaries throughout Ethiopia; the pope was especially pleased with the decoration of the Ethiopian ar, which was sent by King Menelik to both himself and the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val. A recent dispatch from Rome stated that Father Bernard, a missionary priest from Abyssinia, had just been received in private audience by the pope. The priest brought the pontiff a present of two lions from King Menelik of Abyssinia, and a message expressing the desire of the King to insure the security of Catholic missionaries throughout Ethiopia. The pope was especially pleased with the decoration of the Ethiopian star, which was sent by King Menelik to both himself and the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val. There is something inspiring in the news that there is one Ethiopian Kingdom whose certificate of honor is an acceptable and gratifying token, not only to secular rulers, but to the head of the greatest Christian organization on earth. The world at large has very little regard for Ethiopia, except as a geographical area offering opportunities for rich conquest and endless spoils to those Christian invaders who dare its dangers of climate and savagery. But Abyssinia has been carefully and purposely left out of the consideration of would-be invaders since a presumptive army of seven thousand Italians was wiped off the earth at one blow delivered by Menelik's overpowering forces. In no part of Ethiopia, Abyssinia included, is civilization up to the standard of Christian nations, but Abyssinia has demonstrated her possession of one thing which all modern christian nations respect, and that is military power. A highly organized and intelligently wielded military force is the only safeguard of other races against the converting sweep of modern commercial christianity, and the evidence that a non-christian nation is thus capable of insuring its worldly salvation at least, is the thing which makes the rulers of Caucasia sit up and take notice. Although Menelik claims a kind of distinct form of Christian religion in Abyssinia, it seems to be better understood that Mohammed and the teachings of the Koran inspire the greater portion of the dauntless hosts of the king. At any rate, through this one country at least, it is evident that the star of Etoiopia is not set, but shines persistently and brilliantly out of an otherwise black sky. Remembering that the great race divisions do not perish nor absolutely give up their own portion of the earth, who can say that the star of Ethiopia shall never again be in the ascendant? When the natural claims of religion and commercialism shall combine to draw the eyes of black men throughout the world to that firmament where Ethiopia's star glistens in distant beauty, who can say but that they, like the wise men of old, will follow where it leads, and find at their journey's end, for them and their people, an everlasting Savior? By DR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, Scientist and Inventor. The improvement of the human race depends largely upon two great factors, heredity and environment; chiefly on heredity. We have learned to apply the laws of heredity so as to modify and improve our breeds of domestic animals. Can the knowledge and experience so gained be made available to man so as to enable him to improve the species to which he himself belongs? Can we formulate practical plans that might lead to the breeding of better men and better women? The problem is one of great difficulty and perplexity, for its solution depends upon the possibility of controlling the production of offspring from human beings. solution depends upon the possibility of controlling the offspring from human beings. A loss of comparison can this be done. The controlling power, so evoke it in the interests of the race, resides exclusively individuals most immediately concerned. This fact, I think, is realized as fundamental. Our processes, therefore, should be far than mandatory. Ope lies in the fact that human beings possess intelligence, but their offspring may be fully up to the average of the particular, if not superior. It is certainly the case that no of his children shall be weak, sickly, defective, or in any physical or mental endowments. We clearly shown that certain classes of marriages are hurting and others beneficial, the mere dissemination of that of itself tend to promote desirable and prevent undesire sexes. Would any reasonable person, for instance, think first cousin any more than he would dream of marrying, really believed that any harm would result to the offspring you could find one such person, could you find two—to make a marriage? In the gates of marriage, and, where children are produced, doors of divorce. Every child is entitled by nature to a her; and no people should produce children who are not them parental care for life. Being to extremes I would say that the interests of the com-that we should make marriage easy and divorce difficult.

The controlling power, if it is possible to evoke it in the interests of the race, resides exclusively with the individuals most immediately concerned. This fact, I think, should be recognized as fundamental. Our processes, therefore, should be persuasive rather than mandatory. The great hope lies in the fact that human beings possess intelligence, and a desire that their offspring may be fully up to the average of the race in every particular, if not superior. It is certainly the case that no man desires that his children shall be weak, sickly, defective, or in any way inferior in physical or mental endowments. If it should be clearly shown that certain classes of marriages are hurtful to the offspring and others beneficial, the mere dissemination of that knowledge would of itself tend to promote desirable and prevent undesirable unions of the sexes. Would any reasonable person, for instance, think of marrying a first cousin any more than he would dream of marrying his sister if he really believed that any harm would result to the offspring? And if you could find one such person, could you find two—for it takes two to make a marriage? Throw wide the gates of marriage, and, where children are produced, close tight the doors of divorce. Every child is entitled by nature to a father and mother; and no people should produce children who are not prepared to give them parental care for life. Without going to extremes I would say that the interests of the community demand that we should make marriage easy and divorce difficult. Under the best conditions it would require several generations to produce sensible results in improving the race, but in the United States we have, in the new blood introduced from abroad, an important means of improvement that will act more quickly and that is eminently susceptible to control. s most interesting work on the women of the third Na- ded fear to marry a flirt—she will never degenerate into will poetize marriage and probably be a better wife and for more sedate and hypocritical sisters.

My advice to a man who finds a flirt is, "Marry her and be happy." Truth is, we no longer flirt. We make love occasionally—Cupid still kicks over the traces and plays havoc with the modern maid and Peter's mother's son. It is difficult to define a flirt. Marie Stuart was a flirt and lost her head over it. Louis Seize would have made better women than Marie Antoinette flirtatious, and Josephine went in for the pretty pastime in her own sweet way. The second empire in France gave us some shining examples of the genus if we credit A change is coming over the orthodox view of prayer under the influence of scientific thought. The mood of prayer in all churches becomes less that of petition and more than of gratitude and submission. Prayer becomes more and more subjective, really addressed to man's own higher nature, and less directed to the Deity, who is formally addressed. With an increasing number of persons prayer ceases to have meaning, as the thought of God broadens and the idea of law in all things takes hold of the mind. Prayer is in the last analysis a want.

'A remarkable fact in my profes- sion," said a photographer, "is that we portrait artists can give to a sixt- ter any expression that is desired. A bland look, a noble look, a serene look —it is no trouble to us to put any one of these expressions on the most wooden face. "The matter is achieved by the repetition of certain words. If you, for instance, came to me and said you wished to look distinguished I would pose you in a distinguished attitude and then I would get you to say 'brush' just before I snapped the shutter. For some inexplicable reason the pronunciation of the simple word 'brush' gives to the mouth an air of the most striking nobility and distinction. "If you want to have in a photograph a look of serenity you must say 'bosom.' "If you want to make your mouth look small say 'flip.' If you want to make it look larger say 'cabbage.' "To have an expression of melancholy it is necessary to say 'kerchunk.' "To have an expression of pride or hauteur it is necessary to say 'phoenix.'"—Chicago Chronicle. Actor Would Not Die. Dutton Cook, in his "Book of the Play," tells an American stage anecdote of an English melodraman, actor with the pseudonym of Bill Shippon, who, enacting a British officer in the "Early Life of Washington," got so stupidly intoxicated that when Miss Cuff, who played the youthful hero, had to fight and kill him in a duel, Bill Shippon wouldn't die: he even said loudly on the stage that he wouldn't. Mary Cuff fought on until she was ready to faint and after she had repeated his cue for dying, which was, "Cowardly, hired assassin!" for the fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped off the stage, not even pretending to be on the point of death. Our indignant citizens then chased him all over the house and he only escaped by jumping into the coffin which they bring on in "Hamlet," "Romeo" and "Bichard."

There is an old legend in the West Indies which has been handed down from the time of Columbus to the effect that somewhere among the numerous cays of the Caribbean res there exists an island inhabited only by women. The aboriginal Carls and Ararwaks found it inconvenient to have women around in times of war. Usually when the enemy conquered a number of the tribe's fairest malds were carried off. So goes the story. The deplorable possibility of losing all the women of the tribe was averted, however, by the prompt action of the chiefs, who ordered all the remaining female element to this unknown island in the Caribbean. According to the legend, the place is copiously watered by ideal streams, overshadowed by breadfruit, mango, plantain and all the necessaries to life and poetry. The husbands and lovers were allowed to visit the island paradise not more than twice a year in times of peace. But it is further handed down that all the men of the tribe were eventually wiped out in an Indian war, and that all trace of the isle of women was lost. According to Washington Irving, even Columbus made vain efforts to find it. Origin of a Marriage Custom. "Casting a shoe after a newly married couple is one of the oldest customs that still clings to the fabric of this up-to-date life," Mr. John Clinton told me recently. "Centuries ago, nay, thousands of years ago, it was one of the means employed by the people of antiquity to indicate ownership. "When a piece of land was purchased or given to one, or a man acquired ownership of a house, a cow, or took unto himself a wife, it was the established custom to cast a shoe over the land, the building, the animal or the woman, thus asserting to the world that he had acquired all rights of ownership. The custom is mentioned in several places in the Bible, but the only instance I can specifically recall to mind just now is in Psalm 1x. 8, where the phrase, 'Over Edom will I cast out my shoe,' is employed to mean that by this method will ownership be asserted. Few who do it probably know why they cast a shoe after the newly-married, but in this ancient custom is its origin found. So does a relic of barbarism linger in our midst, and for her own sake the bride ought to see to it that it is no longer practiced."—St. Louis Globe Democrat Notice. Charles Hilsman, W. J.

His bicycle is equipped with half a dozen compartments in which food is carried. In another little compartment he carries paper plates, knives, forks and spoons, and furnishes a full meal of well cooked viands on a moment's notice. He goes from place to place through the city, starting out about 6 p. m., and is the last to "turn in."

After Strenuous Time at What He Thought Was Simple Undertak- ing He Had to Give Up the Job. "Say," spoke up the man whose wife went home to spend the holi- days, "d'j'vever try to make a bed? Did yuh? "If you did," said the lonesome look- ing man, "then I don't need to say anything to you. But ain't it the tricky job? Looks easy, too. How d'juh s'pose a woman ever manages to get away with making two or three beds in a house and then get any- thing else done that day? "Now, the other morning when I got up and found all the bed clothes pulled loose from their moorings at the foot I says to myself: 'Five days is long enough for a bed to go without bein' made. I'll just make it.' I'd never tried on the bed making proposition, but it looked simple enough. My wife used to make the bed in our room just while I was putting on my collar and then slip in and make up the children's beds before I c'd get my hair combed. "Well, I tried smoothing out the sheets and blankets, first from one side of the bed and then I'd race around to the other side and rub 'em down. But did they get smoothed out? They did not. They got more askew every time I touched 'em. Then I tried tucking 'em in at the foot, so that I at least wouldn't have my toes sticking out into the chill atmosphere when I went to sleep that night. When I got 'em tucked I found a big wet across the foot of the bed caused by some kivvers that I failed to get hold of. Then when I saw just how ruffled up they were all over the bed I decided to pull them all off and start over again. "I took 'em off and then put 'em all on again, one at a time, and the bed looked pretty solid and even except for one quilt lopping over a little too much toward the floor on one side, but the operation took me just 40 minutes by the clock over on the dresser. "Then I thought while I was at it I would make the pillows stack up plumb, the way I'd seen 'em before the missus went home. Say, I wonder how that's done. I would pick 'em up and lay 'em down again just as easy like and try to smooth them out real slick, but still they persisted in looking as if they were just about all in. They didn't seem to be up on the bit at all. I don't know when I've seen a more anemic, wilted-looking pair of pillows. "After this when that bed gets rumped up and lumpy I'm going to pull off the klivers and roll myself up like a bug in a cocoon and let it go at that."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. New York Foe to Race Suicide. "Fifty dollars when you get married; $50 for every baby." That's the offer J. B. Martin, proprietor of a fashionable New York hotel, has made to his employees. In case the babies come in twos or threes each one stands to collect $5 just the same. Mr. Martin has paid $5,150 in bonuses within the last year, and is willing to pay as much more this year. Once only he has paid upon twins. "I've found the plan to work out admirably," Martin declares. "Marriage and babies bring responsibility, and that increases the reliability of my help. My men are not looking around all the time for another job; their habits are better than ever before, and I can always depend upon them. I used to have lots of trouble in keeping my people. Now they seldom make a change. The plan is worth the money." Capital of Cardboard Every time I come to Paris I am struck with the unreal appearance of the town, especially in the less busy quarter which lies all round the Champs Elysees, says a writer in the London Sketch. The tall, blank gray houses, with their gray wooden shutters, look no more real than the cardboard houses in a stage play. Moreover it seems impossible that anyone is alive inside the houses. You never see a face at a window, and no one ever seems to emerge through the great brown doors—doors which are obviously made of painted cardboard, and not of wood. The grayness, the monotony, the absence of colors, the comparative silence are incredible after the warm colors, the red-brown skies, the portentous, seething "movement" of London. Where Reform Should Begin. The studious-looking man passed his order to the waiter. The latter glanced it over. His usually placid face assumed a puzzled frown. "Excoose me, sare," he said in choice restaurant French, "but I do not comprehen' vat is zees!" The stranger glanced in the direction pointed out by the waiter's stubby finger. "That," he replied, "is egg. I have followed the reformed way of spelling it, e-g, egg." The waiter nodded and brought the egg. The stranger attacked it with a fork. Then he suddenly leaned back and turned pale. "Waiter," he feebly gasped, "take it away. In this instance it is quite evident the reform should be in the egg and not in the spelling." HINTS ON HOW TO DARN. Will Be Found Very Helpful to the Busy Housewife. The darning of narrow lace edges is a most difficult matter. If the tear is a serious one the edges of the lace can be basted upon the selvages of the muslin and placed in the embroidery hoop. Care must be taken not to sew into the muslin. If the edge is destroyed entirely or in part, the lace may be basted upon white letter paper, and stitched several times to form a new edge and cross-threads stitched to hold this edge in place, then the paper pulled away and the remaining stitches put in on the machine or by hand. Hamburg edgings and insertions can be darned in the same way. They should preferably be free of starch and smoothly ironed to facilitate perfect work. White mosquito netting that has been washed will be found to give a good foundation for darning coarsely woven underwear on the machine, and soft black mosquito netting should be basted under the holes in the knees of boys' stockings. It should be basted directly across the hole and the machine darning be done directly upon it. The rough edges and threads can afterward be trimmed away. When you are through darning upon the machine, do not forget to replace the pressure on the pressure foot and the stitch action to the feed, otherwise you may be much puzzled the next time you go to the machine and wonder why it "won't make a stitch." ONE OF SEASON'S NOVELTIES. Try Parisian Charlotte at Your Next Luncheon or Dinner. Parisian charlotte is one of the novelties of the season. For it soak one-quarter of a box of gelatin in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water. Scald in a double boiler one-half pint of thin cream or rich milk. Pour it over four eggs beaten well with a half cupful of sugar and stir over the fire until it thickens. Add the gelatin, stir until dissolved, then strain and set aside until chilled. When it begins to thicken add one-quarter of a pound each of stale maccaroons and lady fingers broken or cut in pieces, one cupful of freshly grated cocoanut, one teaspoonful of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of sherry and one cupful of heavy cream which has been whipped to a solid froth. Fold and mix lightly, turn into a wetted mold and stand aside where it will stiffen. Turn out carefully (this may be done early in the evening) and garnish with a little whipped cream, tinted pale pink, and half a dozen quartered candied cherries. —What-to-Eat. To Serve Ices. Get a paper watermelon mold, which will cost about 25 cents, and line it throughout with melted paraffin so that the moisture will not ruin the mold. Line this slightly with green ice cream, then put in a layer of white ice cream. Have a pink lemonade partially frozen and fill the mold. Place in the half frozen ice a handful of soaked black currants which will resemble watermelon seeds. Place this where it will freeze. When placed on the table, stand a few black penny dolls in the ice. It is a suggestion which can be reserved for future use when the genuine watermelon shells can be used for the purpose, taking the place of the paper mold. Removing Bruises from Furniture. If the bruise is slight soak the place in warm water, and hold a red hot poker near the surface of the wood, keeping it constantly wet until the bruise disappears. This will occur in a few moments. If the bruise is large, an actual dent, wet the place with warm water as before directed. Then take a piece of brown paper, fold it six or seven times, soak in warm water and place over the spot. Against the paper place a hot flat iron, keeping it there until the moisture has evaporated. This process should be repeated until the surface is again level.—Suburban Life. Hem the Ends of a Veil. As a rule it is no easy matter to hem a veil, as the filmsy ends have a most provoking way of slipping out of the fingers and from under the needle. It is really easy, however, if done in this manner: Baste an inch hem in each end of the veil and then baste a piece of paper under the hems. When this is done, stitch the hems on the sewing machine through the paper. The paper then may be carefully torn off. The veil should be pressed with a warm iron and special attention given to the hems. Flower Pots on Table Tiny Dresden flower pots are the latest in table decorations. On the everyday table nothing could be dainter than one of these little pots with a tiny pink flower or one of the novelties in dwarfed trees. The perfect little trees are only about six or eight inches in height and are now brought to such a perfection that they are a welcome change from the various little ferns that have been used for sc long.

Shippy, his son Harry and his driver, James Foley, were wounded by a man who attempted to assassinate the police officer in the hall of the latter's residence shortly after 9 o'clock Monday morning. A desperate struggle, in which Mr. Shippy and his daughter Georgietta joined, was terminated when the chief drew his revolver and killed his assailant. The dead man has been identified as Lazarus Averbuch, a Russian who came to America three months ago. His attack on the chief is believed to have been due to Shippy's recent interference with a parade of the unemployed. Previous to his identification a police spy said he recognized the corpse as that of a person who regularly attended anarchist meetings and asserted that the man was chosen by lot to do away not only with the chief, but Mayor Bussie as well. The ramifications of the plot are said to have extended to other cities and to be closely connected with the killing of the Rev. Leo Heinrichs at the altar of his church in Denver. Harry Shippy was the most severely hurt of those injured in Monday's affray. Although the bullet from the assassin's revolver passed completely through his body, just above the heart, it was said at night that his chances for recovery were favorable. His father was stabbed in the arm, and Foley received a bullet in the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by the desperado, but her hurts are slight. Following the attack squads of police were sent into the Italian and Ghetto districts of the city. Places known as headquarters of secret societies suspected of anarchistic tendencies were raided, and before night a score or more of arrests had been made. A coroner's inquest over the body of the anarchist was also started, and State's Attorney Healey announced that the March grand jury of Cook county, which was convened Monday, will be given an opportunity to investigate anarchistic organizations in an attempt to fasten responsibility for the attack upon its instigators. It was also reported that Mayor Busse intends to issue an order for bidding all street meetings, the allegation being made that such gatherings, whether of a political or religious nature, are often made the occasion for vicious attacks upon the social order. Monday's attack gave significance to a statement made by Chief Shippy a month ago, when he commented on a report made to him by one of his subordinates of an anarchist meeting held immediately following the assassination of the King and crown prince of Portugal. "Never in the history of Chicago," said the police head at that time, "have anarchists and other enemies of law and order been more dangerous than they are at the present time. The police are watching all of their movements closely. You never know when they are going to break out." He declared tonight that war upon anarchists in Chicago will be prosecuted with greater vigor than ever before. As long as I am chief of police, he declared, "there never again will be another parade of anarchists." Through information received from a sister of the dead man, the police were able to trace his movements and learn the views he held. She said Chief Shippy's interference several weeks ago with a parade of unemployed men headed by "Dr." Ben L. Reitman, through the streets of Chicago, coupled with the more recent announcement that Emma Goldman, the anarchist, would not be allowed to speak in public in this city, led Averbuch to attempt to "remove" the police head in Russian "terrorist" fashion. Argentine Bomb Thrower. Buenos Ayres.—Dr. J. Figueroa Alcorta, president of the republic, early Friday evening was the object of an abortive attempt at assassination at the hands of a native of Argentine. He hurled a crude bomb at the president as the latter alighted from his carriage in front of his residence. The missile did not explode. The miscreant, who is believed to be insane, was arrested and three other persons who were acting in a suspicious manner, also were taken into custody by the police. Dr. Alcorta was not at all perturbed. He considers the action that of an insane man. Bomb Thrown at the Shah. Teheran, Persia, Feb. 28.—Mohammed Ali Mirza, Shah of Persia, narrowly escaped death at the hands of an assassin Friday. A bomb was thrown from the roof of a house at the Shah's automobile, in which it was supposed he was a passenger, the explosion killing three of the vehicle's escorts and wounding the chauffeur and a score of bystanders. Fortunately the Shah had taken the precaution to send his automobile in front of the vehicle which he occupied and to this fore-sight probably owes his escape from death. Beet Growers Stand Pat. Trinidad.—The executive committee of the Sunflower Valley Beet Growers' Association has agreed to stand with the Arkansas Valley association in demanding $5 a ton for beets or no planting. This action refutes a rumor that the Sunflower association had made an agreement with the factory. OHIO STATE CONVENTION. Republican Delegates Pledged to Vote For Secretary Taft. Columbus, O.—The Republican state convention Wednesday nominated a state ticket headed by Gov. Andrew L. Harris for governor and including the following for the other important positions: Lieutenant Governor—Francis W. Treadway, Cleveland. Delegates-at-Large to National Convention—Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati; Myron T. Herrick, Cleveland; Arthur I. Vorys, Lancaster, and Andrew L. Harris, Eaton. Presidential Electors-at-Large — E. M. Huggins, Columbus; J. T. Carew, Cincinnati. Secretary of State—Carmi E. Thompson, Ironton. Auditor—E. M. Fullington, Marysville. Treasurer—Charles G. Green, Columbus. Attorney General—U. O. Denman, Toledo. Members of the Board of Public Works—B. W. Baldwin, Conneaut; William Kirtley, Dofrance. Dairy and Food Commissioner—Bennick W. Dunlap, Pickaway county. Judges of the Supreme Court—Jas. L. Price, Lima; John A. Shauck, Dayton. Clerk of the Supreme Court—J. S. McNutt, Salem. Unanimous sentiment for William H. Taft as Ohio's candidate for the nomination for President was the feature of the convention. The delegates to the national convention were instructed to vote for Taft "until he is nominated." The convention was called to order at 10 o'clock by Temporary Chairman James R. Garfield. After a prayer by Rev. Lloyd C. Douglas, the committee on permanent organization reported that Attorney General Wade H. Ellis had been chosen for permanent chairman. Congressman Burton, chairman of the committee on resolutions, presented the report of that body. The first plank to be greeted with applause was that relating to labor and capital, and from that time until the reading was completed the enthusiasm evoked by the platform steadily increased. The report concluded with the plank endorsing the candidacy of W. H. Taft, and as soon as the delegates caught the drift of the endorsement they broke in on the reader with a yell that caused him to pause for several minutes. The report was unanimously adopted amid wild applause. While the nominations were in progress Chairman Ellis received the following message from Secretary Taft, dated in New London, Connecticut: "Please convey to the members of the state convention and through them to the Republicans of Ohio my deep sense of gratitude for the expression of confidence, sympathy and support contained in their action today." Colorado Springs Building. Washington.—Supervising Architect Taylor has compiled the alternative bids submitted Monday for the construction of the Colorado Springs public building and finds that J. H. Weisse, South Omaha, was the lowest bidder on every form of bids submitted. It was expected that the bids would be low enough to permit the use of granite in the construction of the building and keep within the amount available in the appropriation for the building, but it was found that all bids involving the use of granite were so high that the use of this material is out of the question. The lowest bid for sandstone construction, with various modifications from the original plans, was $178,329, made by Weisse, and this probably will be accepted. Kansas Instructs For Taft. Topeka, Kan.—Kansas Republicans in state convention here Wednesday elected four delegates at large to the Chicago convention, instructed to vote for the nomination of Secretary Taft for President. Following is the resolution: "Thet Republicans of Kansas are of one mind in their choice of a candidate of the party for President of the United States. The proved statesmanship, executive ability and magnificent manhood of our candidate fits him for the high office and commands the approval and confidence of the people; therefore, "We instruct the delegates to the national convention to vote on every preliminary and on every ballot for William H. Taft." Western Slope Creamery. Denver.—Deputy State Dairy Commissioner J. J. Girardot returned Tuesday from a trip to the Western slope, during which he visited Delta and offered counsel in the preliminary work of establishing a large modern creamery plant at that place. The new enterprise is headed by H. A. Vorse, recently of Utah who has had wide experience in dairying in the mountainous regions of the West. A company of local and Eastern capitalists has been formed, and it is proposed to eventually develop a chain or system of creameries to cover the entire Western slope and to work in co-operation with each other for mutual benefit. The headquarters of the system will be at Delta, which is to be the main shipping and distributing point. Railroad Investigation. Denver.—In order to investigate the renewed charges of discrimination in railroad and express rates, inefficient railroad service and other matters of public interest, the Interstate Commerce commission will again meet in Denver March 23rd. Special Examiner Frank Lyon of Washington will attend, and it is hoped to clear up all unfinished business now before the commission and such new complaints as have been filed. Discrimination in railroad rates will probably be the most important subject considered, unless it is the charge made by Western live stock men that their business has practically been killed by the slowness of stock trains.

She writes: "Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up the broken-down health of worn-out women. I have found by personal experience that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues. In my work I have had occasion to recommend it freely, especially to women. "I know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact, all the ailments peculiar to women, so I am pleased to give it my hearty endorsement."

"Solid Comfort" FRANCE MARK LUNES CITY MARKETS 170 CHILDREN DIE IN FLAMES DOORS OPENED INWARD LITTLE ONES PENNED IN AND TRAMPLED TO DEATH IN Cleveland, Ohio.—Penned in narrow hallways, jammed against doors that opened only inward, 170 children in the suburb of North Collinwood were killed by fire, by smoke and beneath the grinding heels of their panic-stricken playmates. The awful tragedy occurred Wednesday morning in the public school of North Collinwood, ten miles east of this city. At ten o'clock at night 165 corpses were in the morgue at Collinwood, six children were still unaccounted for and all the hospitals and houses for two miles around contained numbers of children, some fatally and many less seriously injured. All of the victims were between the ages of six and fifteen years. The school contained between 310 and 325 pupils, and of this entire number only about eighty are known to have left the building unhurt. It will be several days before the exact number of killed is known, as the ruins may still contain other bodies and the list of fatalities may be increased by a number of deaths among the children who are now lying in the hospitals hovering between life and death. The school house was of brick, two stories and an attic in height. The number of pupils was more than normally large, and the smaller children had been placed in an attic of the building. There was but one fire escape and that was in the rear of the building. There were two stairways, one leading to a door in front and the other to a door in the rear. Both of these doors opened inward and it is claimed the rear door was locked as well. From the time the flames were discovered the teachers throughout seemed to have acted with courage and self possession and to have struggled heroically for the safety of their pupils and marshaled the little ones into column for the "fire drill," which they had often practiced. Unfortunately the line of march in this account had always led to the front door, and the children had not been trained to seek any other exit. The fire came from a furnace situated directly under this part of the building. When the children reached the foot of the stairs they found the flames close upon them and so swift a rush was made for the door that in an instant a tightly packed mass of children was piled up against it. From that second none of those who were upon any portion of the first floor had a chance for their lives. The children at the foot of the stairs attempted to fight their way back to the floor above while those who were coming down shoved them cerclessly back into the flames below. In an instant there was a frightful panic with 200 of the pupils fighting for their lives. Most of those who were killed died here. The greater part of those who escaped managed to turn back and reached the fire escapes and the windows in the rear. What happened at the foot of that first flight of stairs will never be known, for all of those who were caught in the full flurry of the panic were killed. After the flames had died away, however, huge heaps of little bodies, burned by the fire, and trampled into things of horror, told the tale as well as anybody need to know it. Varied and unconfirmed statements are made as to the cause of the fire and also that the doors of the building had been locked at the front entrance, while but one door of the rear entry was unfastened. The janitor, Fritz Herter, himself beaved of three children, says that the doors were open, according to custom. At any rate, the congestion of fleeing children in the hallway below effectually barred the way, and the little ones went to their death totally unable to evade the flames. Within three hours after the start of the fire it had burned itself out, and the work of recovering the bodies proceeded. The village fire department had only two engines, and neither, upon arrival after the alarm was given, was at all effective in stemming the flames. Miss Catherine Weller, one of the nine teachers in the school, lost her life in a vain effort to marshal the puprits of her class and lead them to safety. She died in the crush at the rear door. National Guard Pistol Match. Denver.—The annual pistol match of the Colorado National Guard will be held at the state rifle range near Golden on May 3rd, the competition being for the individual and team championships of the organization. The prizes to be contested for are the adjutant general's trophy, presented by ex-Adjutant General Bulkeley Wells, and the pistol championship trophy, from the same source. Maj. C. C. Townsend, first infantry, has been designated as executive officer of the day, with authority to appoint such assistants as he may require. A team will be constituted as follows: One captain (who may be a principal), six principals, two alternates. All entries must be filed with the adjutant general not later than April 28, 1908.

The minister had dropped in to tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the question of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would be perpetuated, and that recognition would be assured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Biblical characters they would be most interested in recognizing. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her the minister said: "And who would you like to meet in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?" Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- The MATTER of DRESS H. BROOK - AHART 1897 The tailor-made gown and the lightweight storm coat which will keep off the chill of the spring winds and protect from the sudden storm are two requisites of the wardrobe which must be considered. In our illustration above we show a charming coat and skirt costume. The natty little bolero has double revers and cuffs, the lower one in each respect being of white cloth, which gives a very smart touch to the costume. The material is one of the newest tweeds, which can be had in many shades including several art colors. The skirt is tight fitting around the hips, but has a deep inverted plait at the back and is trimmed round the hem with upright strapped bands with mitred points, which are graduated in size from front o back. The hat shown with this very neat costume is a small round shape of white felt simply trimmed with bunches of violets. The full-length coat shown at the right is semi-fitting, and the sleeves and body are lined with silk or other lining material, according to the amount one feels disposed to pay for such a garment. The back is well cut and the whole garment though roomy enough to go over a jacket is far more shapely than the usual sacque coat. In the illustration the collar is shown turned up and the revers tucked in to show how cozy it can be made when out in the weather. The hat which so modestly harmonizes with this long coat is made of soft felt with a rolled brim edged with velvet. A band of the same velvet surrounds the crown and forms a huge rosette from which starts a small ostrich tip. And now to make a big jump from the practicals to the finery of the wedding trousseau let us give a brief description of the wedding dress displayed in our smaller illustration. It is an empire gown of white satin, the long trained skirt being quite plain and the draped bodice arranged with a fichu of Brussels lace, and two long stoles of lace back and front. The veil is of Brussels lace and is fastened with a wreath of orange blossoms. And now having conscientiously and faithfully disposed of our pictures let us turn to other matters of dress which will interest particularly at this season of the year. In "dressy" costumes for spring the lightweight broadcloths are to be the smartest. The supple chiffon broadcloths so admirably adapted to all sorts of drapings, as well as in plain tight costumes, became fashionable at once, and their vogue, now long continued, promises to see no end. In broadcloths the plain rather than the stripes and checks now seen will be a choice of the fashionable fair one. The printed mousselles will be much seen in reception and dress afternoon and also in dinner gowns. The lovely borders that came in last spring will be more worn, as the prices will not be quite so high. Of course they are no longer the novelties they were, but they are beautiful, and will be much worn by the women of fashion. In the cut of a costume lies its chief charm, provided the fabric is suited to the person and the place. The plaited skirt is always worn. It suits the ordinary figure, whether too thin or too plump, better than the plain skirts, but the latter of circular cut are infinitely smarter, more graceful, are light in weight, and easier to manage in walking. The tight circular skirt without a plait to relieve it about the hips is suited to the truly feminine figure only. By the feminine figure I mean the womanly one, full of curves, with wide hips, flat in the front, and rounded in the back. The hipless, backless monstrosity which some women claim to admire is the masculine shape, and a man might quite as well and with as much propriety sigh for the broad hips and full curves of the womanly figure. The whole attempt of fashion to achieve long straight lines and the hipless figure is a curious perversion, offensive to the normal human being, whether man or woman, but especially obnoxious to men. The new thing in coats for backabout, shopping and morning wear for spring will be the short or hip length coats. These will vary from 22 to 27 inches in length, depending largely on the height of the wearer or the K. length of the waist. The smartest of these will be tight fitting. For the wear of most women, however, the costumes offered in even the smart shops will have these jackets semi-fitting and of the longer rather than the shorter lengths. The semi-fitting coat is much the best for every one for morning and general traveling wear. Many a woman wears different corsets, different in length and build, and she may wear whichever is most comfortable and look as well in the semi-fitting coat. The tight coat, however, demands one's triggest corset. Another strong point in favor of the semi-fitted coat is that the thin woman looks more rounded, while the exuberance of the too plump figure is not defined, but pleasingly veiled. A feature of the new spring coats will be the pointed skirts. Some of these will be pointed in the front and in the back, or will have the pointed front and rounded back, or points on the sides. Some of the coat skirts will be slashed and these slashes will in some instances have buttonholes worked in on one side—real buttonholes—and on the other a row of buttons. Short slashes will be outlined with lengthwise strips of braid. Patience—The size of the brain is not an index of a man's capacity. Patrice—No, I believe not.

Phone Main 3725 Denver, Colo 2317-19 Larimer Street Denver, Colo HOW SHONTS WON HIS WIFE. Father and Son-in-Law Fiddled Themselves Into Matrimony. Des Moines, Ia.—The romance which led to the wedding a few days ago of Miss Theodora Shonts in New York to Duc de Chaulnes is a duplicate of one enacted at Centerville, Ia., when the girl's father won the hand of the mother, Miss Mila Drake, a good many years ago. Mr. Shonts was then a poor law student at Drake university in Des Moines. Here he met Miss Drake, daughter of him who was later to become governor of Iowa. He paid court to her, but won little favor with her father until he produced a violin and began to play duets, with Miss Drake at the piano. He became a frequent comer to the Drake home and he won his bride. It is said that Theodore Shonts was opposed to the marriage of his daughter to a foreign nobleman and took no interest in the courtship of the duce until the duce repeated his own experience and appeared with a violin. The accomplishment, it is said, won him. So through a violin he won his wife and lost his daughter. At that time the wedding of Mr. Shonts and Miss Drake was a quite a pretentious affair for the little town of Centerville, but, of course, it could not compare with the new Shonts wedding. Those in Iowa who knew the romance of the violin and how the present railway magnate fiddled himself a wife smiled when they heard that his opposition to the marriage of his daughter had softened under the soothing tones of a violin. BAN ON ORIENTAL DANCERS. Lid Placed on Girls Who Amuse Sailors at Philadelphia Navy Yard. Washington.—Women who dress in tights and dance Oriental fashion for the amusement of sailors at the Philadelphia navy yard are under the government's ban. So are women who wear long skirts and waltz with the sailors on Sundays in the yard assembly hall. Ifnact, Uncle Sam has pressed the lid on all sorts of Sunday amusements at the navy yards. These things were fully explained to a delegation of Philadelphia pastors who called on Secretary Metcalf for the purpose of registering an emphatic protest against "doings" at the navy yard. They told him that they visited the navy yard assembly hall there a few Sundays ago "just to see what was going on." What they saw was "something dreadful," they said, "especially on the Lord's day." The secretary told them that he already had received a protest from Philadelphia directed at naval yards amusements and showed the pastors a copy of a letter he had sent to the naval commandant calling a halt on the vaudeville shows, the dances and every other kind of amusement on the Sabbath. The action of the secretary forestalls congressional inquiry into the moral status of the navy yards employees and the navy generally. GOAT IS SHIP'S PASSENGER. Will Supply Milk for Sick Baby — Barred from First Cabin. New York.—Should a goat be taken as a first cabin passenger? is one of the many questions which have arisen during the week to drive J. C. Horton, general passenger traffic manager of the ocean steamship company, to distraction. This question came up when James Harding of Glens Falls, N. Y., notified the company that he, his wife and their infant daughter, Florence, desired to sail on the steamer City of Savannah. Miss Florence is very delicate, and under a doctor's advice she has been drinking goat's milk, so Mr. Harding notified Mr. Horton that the goat that had supplied the milk would accompany them. He suggested paying first cabin fare for the milk supply, and giving the animal a room to herself. Believing that "Miss Nannie Goat" would not add to the attractiveness of the ship's list, Manager Horton sought to persuade the father that the goat would be as well cared for if put in the steerage. The outcome of all this was that when the City of Savannah sailed the goat went along, but not as a cabin passenger. She was put in comfortable quarters between decks. ELECTRICITY AS CROP AID. Government Expert Has New Plan to Hasten Growth. Washington.—Prof. Albert F. Wood, assistant chief of the bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture, is at work on a line of experiments which, if expected results are obtained, will eliminate the word "backward," as applied to crops, from the farmer's vocabulary. He proposes to use electricity as a means of hastening the growth of plants and vegetables. That is, he expects to make it possible to farm by electricity. Prof. Wood says that in Germany certain crops are raised by electricity. Why cannot the same be done in the United States? he asks himself. Near the department of agriculture a plot of ground has been overlayed and underlayed with a system of wires. When the weather becomes warmer seed will be planted and the current turned on. Prof. Wood says that the experiments conducted in Germany show that by electricity sugar beets mature a month earlier than in the usual way, and that they contain more sugar.
