BROWN, United States Commissioner of Education, Emphasizes the Need of Practical Education or Vocational Training, So Long Advocated by Booker T. Washington. Every educational convention, meeting or discussion now held adds to the evidence that there is a growing sentiment against the continuation of the public school system along the present "cultural lines." There is a marked protest against the courses of study mapped out with a view to prepairing pupils to enter high schools and colleges. There is a demand for more practical education or vocational training. It is being man- particularly in the movement for trade education. The remarkable teachers' meeting' convention or institute, at Philadelphia this week, when 5,000 teachers of that city gathered to listen to prominent educators, where more than one speaker protested against the existing system. United States Commissioner of Education E. E. Brown, appealed for more vocational training; Dr. Nathan Schaeffer, State Superintendent, Pennsylvania, severely scored examination; Dean Balliet, of the New York University School of Pedagogy, advocated more specialized high school, and President Sharpless, of Haverford, argued for less vague teaching. Because of the increased attention being devoted to trade education, Commissioner Brown's address is of particular interest. He declared that 'new educational needs are crowding fast upon us, and schools long regarded as the seat of ulta-conservatism begin to take hints from common human experience and follow them up to large educational ends. "In remaking our schools to meet advanced requirements, we will have to offer training for vocations in life, without giving up our principles of liberal education. We have for generations and for principle held our schools for the most part free from any immediate connection with definite and different life occupations. This attitude has, I think, been amply justified. But we are coming to think that an education for manhood and an education for occupation are not mutually exclusive. The idea of an honorable self-support seems to us a highly moral conception. "The schools of the future will educate men to the idea of human co-operation more distinctly than the schools of the past. The knowledge of social relations will fill a larger place in the conceptions of the school. One special form of human co-operation will affect these remade schools. The re- --- VOL. XIV.

It is not so much the party as in National politics but it is the man, the personnel of the tickets that are put up by the different parties and their position on the many questions that are so near and dear to the community. Negroes in most of our Northern cities have been known to lay aside allegiance to the Republican party and vote almost solidly for the nominee on another ticket, after they had been convinced that their interests could be best served by so doing. In our present mayoralty campaign there are many good qualities in both nominees. Mayor Speer the present incumbent and candidate for the Democrats and Business Men's League has many commendable qualities. It must be admitted that he has done much for the Negro of Denver appointing more of them to the police force than any one of his predecessors. He has at all times given our committees and representatives a respectful hearing. These considerations cannot be overlooked in making a choice but there are other things that mean much more to us than the consideration named. A very large per cent of Denver Negroes own their homes or are buying them. The conditions are such here, that if a colored man wants a decent house in a respectable community to live in he has to buy it, very often on the quiet, and nine times out of ten he buys it on time. The payments on this home, the interest on the amount unpaid and the taxes keeps a man of ordinary income with his nose continually on the grinding stone. The executive at the city hall does not say how much you shall pay for your home, nor does he regulate the payments nor the interest but he does have a great deal to State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903. H. H. H. ALBION K. VICKERY, REPUBLIICAN CANDIDATE FOR CITY AUDITOR. Albion K. Vickery, the present popular, efficient and painstaking County Clerk and Recorder, who has conducted the affairs of his office in such a business-like manner as to win the admiration and confidence of the entire community. He is without doubt one of the ablest young politicians in the ranks of the Republican party. He will no doubt be elected by the largest vote ever polled by any candidate in the history of the city. The fairminded and diserminating voter will make no mistake in voting and working for A. K. Vickery for the office he seeks and is so competent to fill. The Colorado Statesman expects to see Mr. Vickery elected City Auditor, as an endorsement of his administration of public affairs which he has at all times conducted so acceptably to all classes and factions. The administration of the affairs of a city not only concerns civic matters, but touches closely the personal life and business interests of its people, it requires a man at the head of these different departments who is competent, honest and conservative, who has at all times demonstrated his business ability, such a man is Mr. Vickery who holds in the highest degree the confidence of the masses. He does not believe in petty politics. He does not believe in race proscription. He does not gauge a man by the color of his skin. He believes in being just, truthful and honest in his dealings with all men. In the distribution of patronage he advocates that the Colored voters should receive their just proportion commensurate to their voting strength. This manly utterance from him should meet with the hearty approval of every Colored voter. Mr. Vickery is broad, liberal and progressive in his ideas. He believes that every citizen irrespective of race should have a fair field in the struggle of life.Mr. Vickery is a gentleman affable in manner and easy to approach, we are quite sure that our race will find in him as in the past a friend who will give them a square deal within the sphere of his influence and authority as City Auditor. The Colorado Statesman therefore, specially urges every Colored voter to cast a vote for A. K. Vickery for Auditor and the entire Republican ticket. say about how much taxes you shall pay on this home. Has Mayor Speer helped or has he hurt the tax paying Negro citizen? For every colored policeman appointed during the present administration three colored men have mortgaged their homes in order to meet the heavy taxes. To help one family and impoverish three other families is not the kind of consideration that is helpful and relief should be sought. If the Mayor had exerted himself to see, that the rich committee of one hundred that prevailed upon him to be their candidate, pay their just portion of the taxes he would not be the business man's candidate but instead he would be the peoples candidate. Aside from the many reverses the Negro has had to contend with on account of high taxes we should not yield to a weakness that seems at times to be especially ours, that of forgetting so soon. You must not forget that most undersirable "dragnet system" of a short while ago which made it extremely unsafe for our most respectable citizens to walk in a respectable part of the city after dark and that in some parts of free Denver Negroes were forbidden to walk along the streets. Do you feel that as Negroes we could afford to forget these things so soon and rally to the re-election of such officials? There is no doubt as to your answer. We have tried Speer and found that he has helped us much but has hurt us more and now we turn to the Republican nominee, Hon. Horace Phelps who promised much relief and will recognize in an unusual way the support we are going to give him and the splendid men associated on the ticket with him. Mr. Phelps record is without blemish and he may be depended upon to beautify Denver and to administer its affairs in a safe, sane manner without bringing depression to any. The 19th of May is the time and Horace G. Phelps is the man. NEGROES IN JAMAICA. From the Washington Herald. That the Negroes are driving the whites out of Jamaica is the opinion of Horace G. Hall, a business man of Kansas City, who has made an extensive trip through the southern countries. "There are fifty Negroes there to one white now." said Mr. Hall, who is registered at the Raleigh. "Kingston, the capital, is a pile of debris, left so by the eruption of January, 1907. The original settlers of the island were Indians, Christopher Columbus stopped there long enough to kill them off. Then somebody imported Negroes and they have taken the island. They say they speak English, but I could not understand it. Jamaica is the prettiest place I have seen in my travels and I have been from Hong Kong to Jerusalem and from a point 700 miles North of the most northern town or Norway to the isthmus." When asked about the commercial outlook for the banana republics, Mr. Hall said it was doubtful. "If they are where they can sell to the American traders they are all right. If they are off the beaten track they are worse off than if they had nothing at alf. A quarter would buy a barrel of oranges in half a dozen places I visited. Coffee is a glut, and rudder a joke. Ninety per cent of the lsle of Pines Cuba's possession, was owned by Americans when I got there. A man bought half the remaining 10 per cent. The island is Cuban, and will stay Cuban till the revolution. The revolution will be on the dot. Next February there is to be an election, and the American troops are to retire. The revolution starts right away. So they all tell me. The business—Americans, Germans, Spanish and British—all want us to gather the island in. We will get it after the revolution. There is no patriotism in any of these countries. The masses are moved by the leaders, and the leaders are stirred by the sight of power and perquisites." NO. 33. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Philadelphia.—The national political conference of colored Americans closed its session after adopting a resolution in which Senator J. B. Foraker was referred to as a "true American citizen the American people would do well to make him chief executive." The Texas and New Orleans Railroad was sued by Leon McCoy a colored man, whose head was caught in the drawer of a locomotive, causing the loss of the sight of one eye and the hearing of one ear. Th jury brought in a verdict of $9,000 damages. News comes from Chicago saying that the "White Rats," an association of vaudeville players have drawn the color line against the "Japs," as only white male Americans citizens are admitted to membership. Although the Negro is barred from joining the "Rats," it will take a lot of barring to deprive him of the hurricanes of applause that greet him after some white brother has been hissed off the stage. New Orleans, April 29.—The foundation of what will be the finest Negro theatre in America was completed this week, and the steel work has already been started. The theatre will be ready for occupancy by fall. L W. Green, promoter of the building, has returned from Charleston, where he was called to take charge of the Knights of Pythias to succeed the late Chancellor Starks. As Mr. Green is interested in Negro theatricals, it is probable that the Order will erect a number of fine buildings elsewhere in which will be installed theatres. Springfield, Ill., April 27. After 20 years of litigation, the supreme court has finally disposed of the Alton case by the most drastic action recorded in history. Disregarding the action of seven juries which refused to enforce the law against the separation of white and Negro school children, the court took the matter into its own hands, declared the Alton authorities were not entitled to trial by jury anyway, and gave judgment for the Negroes. The litigation began years ago when Alton established separate schools for Negroes and Scoot Bibb refused to send his children to them. The late Senator John M. Palmer was his counsel and he fought for the entry of the Negro children to the regular schools until his death.

MAPS OF BIG CANAL FILED EXTENDS EIGHTY-SIX MILES IN FREMONT, PUEBLO AND EL PASO COUNTIES. SUCCESSOR TO STATE CANAL NO. 1, ON WHICH A LARGE SUM WAS SPENT. Canon City, Colo.—Amended maps and claims for flood water of the North Mesa canal were filed in the office of the county clerk on the 6th inst. by A. E. Wilson of Denver. The survey and maps are made by Hydraulic Engineer Edward S. Snell. The headgate is located on the south bank of the Arkansas river in the Royal gorge. The depth of the canal is seven and a half feet, with a width of thirty-five feet on the bottom and fifty feet at the top. A grade of thirty feet per 1,000 will be maintained the entire length of the canal, which is 85.96 miles and traverses the counties of Fremont, Pueblo and El Paso, terminating at Fountain creek. The lands to be irrigated consist of 150,000 acres in townships 17, 18, 19 and 20, south ranges 63 to 70 inclusive. The carrying capacity of the canal is 1,000 cubic feet per second, for which claim is made for irrigation, power and domestic purposes. The canal will cross a number of creeks in its course, and a headgate will be placed in each of these creeks for securing flood waters. The estimated cost of the enterprise is $1,000,000. Work on the plans and surveys began December 20, 1906, and has progressed as rapidly as possible, considering the magnitude of the undertaking.

Partial Fruit Crop Expected Denver.—A Florence dispatch says: The warm sun of the last two days has proved that the freezing weather for nine nights has not killed all the fruit in the county, as had been feared. There will be many cherries, apples and small berries. This is said to be due to the buds being undeveloped when the frost came. This is true not only in Florence but in all parts of the county, and it is not possible to estimate how much fruit will be produced this year. In order to recoup their losses the fruit growers are busy breaking ground and will conduct general truck gardens this year.

URGE GOOD SALARIES TOUCH ON DIVORCE EVIL, CHILD LABOR, ARMY CANTEEN, AND POLYGAMY. Baltimore, Md.—Bishop Goodsell of Boston was easily the central figure of Thursday's session of the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church by reason of the fact that it was he who read the address of the bishops and that this address, always a matter of much interest, contained this time matter of unusual importance. It says: "While we still insist that it is unwise to plan for emoluments in the church which are likely to make the accessories of salary and house more attractive than the work itself, it is of the highest wisdom to offer such support as secures freedom from anxiety as well as modest provision for intelligence, culture and education for children. We believe that inadequate estimate for these rights even in the great prosperity of recent years has kept many from our work, who being necessarily in debt already to our educational board, or to relatives and friends for the cost of their education, feel that they cannot wait until middle life before they can hope to repay those they owe." As to amusements and the book of discipline, the address continues: "We are moved by a profound conviction of duty in again calling your attention to the subject of popular amusements in relation to the spirit and conduct of spiritual-life. We regret that the general prevalence of harmful amusements does not diminish. We still firmly hold that they are 'antagonistic to vital piety, promotive of worldliness and especially pernicious to youth.'" In the course of a discussion of civic righteousness the bishop says: "We see clearly that within the next generation there are to be great social changes. The influence of wealth on political life and measures is to grow less, whether it be in the hands of individuals or corporations. The workingmen are to have more power, the idlers less. With a restless and iconoclastic future before us, we must both lead and restrain by religious forces. The social philosopher and the sociologist can detect injustices and wrongs, but he can never create the desire to remedy the wrongs which are the issue of greed." Satisfaction is expressed that there has been prevented "the re-establishment of the canteen and the fouling again of the nation's hand by direct participation in the sale of liquor." As to discourse, "The consecutive polygamy permitted by the divorce laws of some of our states is a disgrace to our country. It continues to undermine family life and to break up into helpless and warring factions that which God means shall be a unit. We greatly rejoice that the conscience of the nations is being quickened on this subject and that the demand for uniform divorce laws increases." In the section devoted to child labor the address says: "In the name of Jesus Christ we protest against the sacrifice of childhood on the altar of mammon, whether it be the sloth of parents or the greed of proprietors. We demand from legislators such laws as will, in securing freedom to children from exhausting toll, contribute to the vitality, the growth and the moral power and moral sense of all youthful employees." Eight Thousand Jackies March. San Francisco.—Eight thousand blue jackets and marines—the largest armed force the American navy has ever put ashore in time of peace or war—were landed Thursday from the combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets, now lying in the harbor, and marched through the streets of San Francisco in the most notable parade the city has ever known. For four miles and a half, along streets lined and canopied with colors and in review of a never ending crowd, the fighting men of the fleets made their way to the martial tunes of their shipmate bands and to cheers that began with the first command to march and ended only when the sailormen had again embarked in the small boats that returned them to the battleships and armored cruisers in the roadstead. Twenty-five hundred soldiers of the regular army, in full dress array, graciously acted as an escort to the visiting men of the sea and were liberally applauded. Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the fleets, and the six other rear admirals in command of squadrons and divisions rode in carriages. Republican State Conventions. Denver.—Late dispatches show that the Wyoming, Utah and Kentucky Republican conventions were captured by the Taft men Thursday, and their delegates to Chicago instructed to vote for him for President. The Fairbanks men, led by Senator Bradley, delayed proceedings in Kentucky, but were finally vanquished. The Massachusetts Democratic convention was not solid for Bryan, but instructed its delegates for him, the contest over this and the personnel of the delegation being lively.

But He Had to Play Mean Trick on Himself to Do It. An old gentleman in a village not far from Glasgow breakfasted every morning on porridge, and, in order to save fuel, cooked a whole week's supply every Saturday. One Friday morning the stuff seemed very cold and very salt, and he felt he must abandon the struggle to eat it. His stubborn nature forbade any such thought. So he fetched the whisky from the cupboard, poured out a glass and placed it before him on the table. "Now, Sandy," said he, "if ye eat that parritch ye'll hae that whisky, an' if ye don't ye won't." He stuck again at the last spoonful, but keeping his eye steadily on the glass of whisky, he made a bold, brave effort, and got it down. Then he slowly and carefully poured back the whisky into the bottle with a groad grin, as he said to himself: "Sandy, my lad, I did ye thot time, ye ould fule!" EXTREE! EXTREE! Si—Pop, the old red caow hes kicked the bucket! HI—Je-rushlem, I wouldn't tuk $40 fer the caow! Did she pass away to peace? Si—She passed away in pieces, yep! The old fule kicked the bucket o' stuff yeou go tew blow up stumps with! Returned Him. A man returned to his native village after having emigrated to Kansas some 20 years previous. He asked about different villagers he had known in the old days, and finally of the town drunkard of his time. "Oh, he's dead," was the reply. "Well, well; dead and buried is he?" "Nope; they didn't bury him." "Didn't bury him!" exclaimed the former resident. "Well, then, what did they do with him?" "Oh, they just poured him back in the jug." Insect Chemists.

"After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. "So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

Wadleigh of the Denver & Rio Grande passenger department, has received a letter from the adjutant general's office of the state of Massachusetts, which settles the controversy recently raised concerning the location of Fort Massachusetts in this state. The letter states that Fort Massachusetts was on the west bank of Utah creek, about two miles below the site of Fort Garland. It was established June 22, 1852, by Company F, First Dragoons, and Company H, Third Infantry, under command of Maj. George A. H. Blake, First Dragoons. These troops were withdrawn November 3, 1853, and the post was reoccupied April 30, 1854, from which time a garrison was continued there until it was removed in the latter part of the year 1857, to the site of the new post, which was named Fort Garland, in general orders No. 7, War Department, adjutant general's office, Washington, D.C., June 24, 1858. May Settle D. & R. G. Strike. Denver.—The first move toward a settlement of the Denver & Rio Grande strike occurred Tuesday, when the company made new contracts with a committee representing the car repairers and inspectors. The contracts are effective from May 1st to December 31, 1908, and are practically the same as the contracts abrogated by the railroad company on March 15th. The contracts were signed by E. A. Welby, general superintendent, and T. B. Purvis, superintendent of motive power, for the company, and Frank L. Ronemus, grand master; J. H. Speltz, vice president, and Oscar Boling, for the car men. At the school election, May 4th, Breckenridge voted in favor of a bond issue of $20,000 to erect a new school building and Sterling voted $15,500 for the same purpose. Ira Hodgson of Toponas has purchased two automobiles and will conduct a passenger service this summer between the end of of the Moffat road and Steamboat Springs. A company has been incorporated for the purpose of erecting mills in Montrose, Ouray, Delta and Mesa counties to manufacture alfalfa products and other stock foods. Ground was broken at Brighton May 1st for the Wilmore Canning factory, which is to cost $30,000 and employ 200 people. The factory will be ready for this years' crops. A party of fifty, consisting of delegates and their families, left Denver on the night of May 3d on a special train to attend the national convention of the Retail Grocers' Association at Boston, May 14th. Thurston White, horticultural inspector of Fremont county, made an examination of fruit conditions on Beaver creek and reports that probably one third of the apple crop is saved. The first Japanese baby in the Greeley district was born on May Day to the wife of T. Koshi, a well-to-do small farmer. It weighed only three pounds, but is active and strong. The subject of a foreign country has the right to sue in the courts of Colorado, according to an opinion handed down by Chief Justice Steele in the case of Fenice Ferrara vs the Auric Mining Company. Mrs. E. V. Alkire, formerly connected with the city and county hospital of Denver, has been appointed superintendent of the Fort Collins hospital, vice Miss E. M. Griep, who goes to Europe to study. Governor Buchtel has appointed Mrs. Helen L. Grenfel, formerly state superintendent of public instruction, to represent Colorado at the International Women's Suffrage conference to be held at Amsterdam, Holland. The Pueblo Business Men's Association is making arrangements for a celebration on the opening of the Pueblo Stove & Iron Supply Company plant. The plant, which will manufacture stoves and steel castings, will employ 300 to 400 men. Maps have been filled at Greeley of Rensley reservoir, twenty miles east of Fort Lupton in Weld county. It will be built as part of the Henrylyn system, draw water from the South Platte and have a capacity of several million cubic feet. The proceedings instituted in the Supreme Court by the Colorado Bar Association against Charles O. Erbaugh of Denver, charging him with practicing as an attorney without a license, were brought to a close by the imposition of a fine of $200 and costs on Erbaugh or a fine of $200 and costs on Erbaugh or a commitment to the county jail in lieu of payment. The judgment was suspended during good behavior. In Denver on the 5th inst. Burton H. Koch, a fireman, aged thirty-one, shot and killed Louise Motley, his divorced wife, aged twenty, wounded Mrs. Matilda Motley and ended his own life with a bullet through his heart. Bert Lustig, who ruined Mrs. Koch and destroyed the young fireman's home, lies in the county jail serving a ninety-day's sentence, imposed two weeks ago. He was convicted on Mrs. Koch's testimony that he made a white slave of her. The Canon City council has instructed the city attorney to institute proceedings against the Canon City Elk Club to compel it to discontinue the sale of intoxicating liquors to its members in violation of city ordl. nances. Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, a distant cousin of President Roosevelt, the second woman to arrive with the eastern colony which founded Longmont in 1871, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Beatty of La Salle. Mrs. Duncan was born August 24, 1825. Her father was a cousin of President Roosevelt's mother. Frederick Law Olmstead, the Charles Elliott professor of landscape architecture at Harvard, has been engaged by the Boulder Improvement Association for the purpose of making plans for beautifying the city, and to lay out a system of parks. ACQUITTAL IN DURANGO TRIAL JURY FINDS MASON AND VANDER WEIDE NOT GUILTY OF MUR- DERING JOSEPH WALKER. ONLY TWO BALLOTS BOTH MEN AT ONCE ARRESTED BY U. S. MARSHAL ON CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. Durango, Colo.—William B. Mason and Joseph Vanderweide were found not guilty of the murder of United States Secret Service Agent Joseph Walker on November 3d last. The jury retired at 3:40 o'clock and four hours and twenty minutes later they filed into the courtroom and delivered the verdict which freed the men. Just as they were discharged by Judge Pike, United States Deputy Marshal Thomas Clark arrested them on the charge of "conspiracy to commit murder of an officer of the United States government." Mason and Vanderweide were immediately taken before United States Commissioner F. W. Pingree, where their bonds were fixed at $10,000 each, and upon furnishing sureties they were released. Mrs. William Mason, wife of one of the defendants, fainted when she heard the verdict. The first pollot owf the jury, taken shortly after they retired, is reported to have been 10 to 2 for acquittal. The second ballot was unanimous for acquittal. The federal statute under which Mason and Vanderweide were rearrested was enacted just after the Civil War, and provided for trial in a federal court of persons interfering with the discharge by a federal officer of his duties. It fixes the same punishment as that might be imposed by a state court in case of conviction. It is not known when the men will be arraigned on the new charge. The sureties of Vanderweide's bond are as follows: W. S. McNeeley, retired hotelkeeper, $6,000; Dan Knight, in-law of Mason, $3,000; Thomas Mason, nephew, $6,000; Mrs. Emily Mason, $10,000, and David Lewis, brother-in-law of Vanderweide. On Mason's bond are Harry Jackson, hardware merchant, $20,000; E. J. Ochsner, physician, $5,000; William K. Brayden, $2,000, and Robert Roberts, real estate dealer. Lucien C. Wheeler, chief of the bureau of special agents of the Department of Justice, said: "The verdict is no surprise to me. It could hardly have been otherwise with any jury here." Beginning of New Railroad. Denver—Smiling down upon the bared heads of 3,000 people gathered about a grand stand at Argo, the Colorado sun gave its fervid benediction as Miss Lola Vida Milliken, facing northward and wielding a gilded shovel, broke the ground that marked the beginning of construction work on the new Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad. The interesting ceremony came as the climax to Governer Buchtel's speech, and men from a dozen states joined in the cheering that followed, announcing to the world that work has actually begun on the road that is to link Denver with Seattle and the Orient. The crowd which came to the scene of the exercises on the special train, in motor cars, in tally-hos, and on horse-back, packed itself on all sides of the stand for hundreds of feet. To the northward, where the road is to go, a group of cowboys from the stockyards tanged themselves on their ponies facing the speakers and displayed two huge banners, bearing the enthusiastic inscriptions: "Hurrah for the New Cattle Trail from the Northwest to Denver," and "The Stockyards Bunch Wants in on This." On the platform of the speakers, stockholders in the new road, committees representing the commercial organization of Denver, and other prominent men from the middle west, gathered to show the substantial interest which they take in the new enterprise. Governor Buchtel was the first speaker. In view of the way in which the state is growing, the governor predicted that by the time the Denver, Laramie and Northwestern reaches Laramie, all three roads to that part of the country will have more business than they can handle. Among other speakers were Ex-Senator Patterson, President E. L. Scholtz of the Denver Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Speer of Denver, President Aylesworth of the Colorado Agricultural College, M. C. Brown of Laramie, who remembered when Denver was a town of 4,000 inhabitants, reached by Ben Holliday's stage line, W. P. McPhee, president of the Colorado Manufacturers' Association and Senator W. A. Harris of Lawrence, Kansas. C. S. Johnson, president of the new road, delivered the final address. "This enterprise," he said, "is an independent one, no other railroad, or railroad officials have any strings on it, and on behalf of myself and my associates, I pledge you it will remain independent for the benefit and upbuilding of Denver, Colorado, Wyoming and the great Northwest." General Palmer's Land Purchase. Durango, Colo.—A warranty deed has been filed in the County Court here transferring from from the Banded Peak Land and Mining Company, to William J. Palmer of Colorado Springs, 6,000 acres of land on the Navajo river in Archuleta county. There is some mineral on the land, but it is noted as a hunting and fishing section and it is believed here that General Palmer wants it for a hunting and fishing preserve.

Weighing carefully the political platforms and candidates now before the people, and considering the conditions attending them and the effect of their respective politics upon the class of citizens for whom we speak, we can see no good reason why the colored voters of this city should support any other ticket than the Republican ticket. We have been reasonably considerate, careful and fair in arriving at this conclusion; we have desired to direct only in a course that seems just, honorable and right. That there is no more in Democracy now than ever before, for the black citizen, is readily apparent. We call upon the men and women of Denver to condemn without mercy those who seek to surrender and sacrifice their rights upon the despotic alter cf Democratic experiment.

We feel an especial interest a return to conditions whi- not been known in this city. THERE is sincere satisfaction in the support of men for public office whose example has already met and justified the claims of a constituency so peculiarly needful and deserving as are the colored people. An unquestioned disposition to deal fairly with them, as with all other elements in the Republican party, and a practical demonstration of good faith in the maintenance of proper representation in his official force, have given this valuable distinction to Albion K. Vickery, the Republican candidate for city auditor, who is the present county clerk and recorder. It would be difficult to shake the confidence of the people in a man of his character, for his own good judgment, and not the importuning of somebody else, is responsible for his equitable course in politics. While the whole Republican ticket is well balanced and represents untainted Republicanism of the first water, some particular candidate or candidates must carry the palm for popularity on account of being better known than others, or for personal characteristics which seem to make them the special objects of the people's enthusiasm. Mr. Vickery is popular in just that way, and his popularity extends all along the line and among all elements of the party. His place upon the ticket is a strong second to that of Mr. Phelps, our candidate for mayor, who, though he has never held an office which carried with it the requirement for a large distribution of patronage, possesses all those natural qualities which arouse popular enthusiasm and create that splendid confidence which presages victory. The colored voter, though a "natural born" Republican, has grown to be a discriminating campaigner, and his unreserved endorsement of a candidate for office is pretty strong evidence of that candidates "yard wide" measurement in the loom of Republican politics. Messrs. Phelps, Vickery, Ordway and Greenlee stretch the tape in this measurement and give promise of an executive city department which will bring new honors to Denver and to the Republican party. With candidates for the legislative branches of the city government none the less deserving, the Republican party has placed a model ticket before the people. Colored voters should feel an especial interest in the success of this ticket. It will mean a return to conditions whose general benefits to colored people have not been known in this city since Democracy crept into power. A LEGAL MISFIT. we have threshed out a legal of colored people for equal a principle upon which the den that of the equality of all cilician. publican kindly tell us what the white people for sepa n to be the inequality of so what a legal contradiction people to twist and bend and THE white people have threshed out a legal theory of their own to support the demands of colored people for equal accommodations on railroad trains. The principle upon which the demand for equal accommodations is based is that of the equality of all citizens before the law," says the Denver Republican. Then will the Republican kindly tell us what is the principle upon which the demand of the white people for separate accommodations is based. It would seem to be the inequality of some citizens before the law. What a paradox—what a legal contradiction is here! How it suits the great American people to twist and bend and misinterpret their own fundamental laws to carry out their intentions to establish a legal difference between the races! The very foundations of the Republic are stultified by that species of knavery which seeks to hide a palpable untruth behind a legal assumption. The equality of all citizens before the law is a legal principle as sound as it is necessary in a government like ours. But no demand for equal railroad accommodations contingent upon another demand for separate accommodations is properly based upon it. The enforced separation of the races even into equally fitted compartments is based upon the contention of inequality and is class legislation of the most flagrant type. We are ready to admit that some classification of railroad passengers in the United States is reasonably desirable, but we believe that the only legal means possible is by the establishment of first, second, third and even fourth class rates of travel, applicable to all travelers alike, without regard to race. If persons desire executive accommodations, such accommodations should be provided by the establishment of higher rates, and, if necessary, even by the institution of separate compartments like those in vogue in Europe. Passengers traveling at ordinary rates have no legal right to dictate who else shall share these rates and aecomodations. There are classes of low-bred Negro passengers on air Southern railways which are highly objectionable to refined passengers of their own race, and this refined element of the colored people has just as much legal right to secure immunity from distasteful companionship as a similar white element has. The whole question is properly a question of rate classification and not race distinction. The lower elements would gladly ride at the cheapest possible rates. The additional expense which the railroads would incur under this arrangement, if any, would be properly met by an equitable adjustment of the class rates, the greatest burden, of course, falling upon the exclusive passengers. The jim crow ear, even though sanctioned indirectly by the InterState Commerce Commission and by the President of the United States, is nevertheless an unconstitutional and illegal institution, and no amount of misinterpretation or other judicial contortion will ever square it with the basic law of this country. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY SOCIETY HORACE PHELPS, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR Mr. Horace Phelps the choice of the Republicans for the head of the ticket is one of the wisest selections that could have been made. He is young, aggressive and is a fit representative of the progressive element in Republican ranks. This is Mr. Phelps first appearance in the political arena as a candidate for elective honors, and his well known honesty as a citizen and business man should attract to him the support of all fairminded voters irrespective of party affiliation.' He has the confidence of his own party and the respect of all good citizens. Mr. Phelps has always been a strict party man and he can be depended on to carry out to the letter the platform adopted by the Republican party in every particular. He is on record squarely for a better and cleaner Denver. The Colorado Statesman earnestly urges every Colored voter to work and vote for Horace Phelps and the entire ticket. There is no earthly reason why our public men such as ministers, doctors, etc., should not present at all times a neat and cleanly appearance. Some of them are not only shabby but disgustingly sloven and unclean in their dress. Few things present a worse sight than to see a Negro minister with grease spots on his clothes, uncared for shoes, and dirty nails, and to set it all off, soiled cuffs, collars and shirt. No matter how poor the minister or doctor may be, he, above all public characters, should keep himself clean and presentable. It pays and will add dollars to his purse. With a little care and a little expense one can keep his garments clean and presentable. It pays and will add dollars to his purse. With a little care and a little expense one can keep his garments clean and well pressed and his linen in presentable shape. New York Age. Mr Bryan recently made the following statement: "The white man of the South puts a qualification on Negro Suffrage in self defense. There is not a community in the North that would not put on a similar qualification under the same circumstances." Store the olly feeds where they will not become contaminated by foul odors. Feed thus affected is more than apt to taint the milk and carry the cowy flavor to the butter. Washington—The division of information of the immigration bureau can furnish places for 500 men who are willing to work on farms for from $16 to $35 per month, board and lodging included. The division recently sent out 35,000 circular letters to farmers in all sections of the country and from the 5,000 replies received will supply to its agents in the Maritime building in New York the addresses of 500 farmers who want "hired men." The object of the division in sending out these circulars was to find places for aliens who came from farms in their native countries and form a large percentage of foreigners who are stranded in New York city, or nearly so, and who make a precarious living doing odd jobs. The fact that the financial depression of the past six months has caused a migration to the country is shown by scores of letters which state that the needs of farmers have been met to a considerable extent in the eastern section of the country by men driven from the cities to accept work on the farms. Chief Powderly of the division of information expects to locate places on farms for several thousand aliens by the time spring opens and planting begins. It has been discovered that Pharaoh had toothache and the gout. No wonder the Israelites fled from him. It is proposed in Denmark to send an expedition to teach the Eskimos to fish.

Rice Lodge of Elks entertained a big crowd at East Turner hall last Thursday night with a grand ball. It is hardly necessary to say that a good time was had, as nothing else prevails at the Elks' entertainments. We also deem the work of the committee worthy of mention, which was under the supervision of Chairman James Cartwright. Some of the boys from the various states are talking of organizing themselves into clubs. Arkansas has quite a bunch of native sons in Denver, and so has the Lone Star state, but Grant Jones says the Sunflower boys have got them all bested in point of number as well as anything else that they might mention. Well, we are not partial, but we are inclined to believe that Grant is about correct. J. L. Burnett was very agreeably surprised last Thursday evening on the anniversary of his birthday.

"Ever do any missionary work out there, Sam?" "Oh, yes sah! I was cook for a cannibal chief, sah!" -Yonkers Statesman. A Matter of Doctors "There were two sisters living in Michigan," said Senator Burrows, "who warred constantly about the two great schools of medicine. One pinned her faith to allopathy and the other to homeopathy. "One day there was great excitement in the family of the lady who believed in allopathy and it was soon announced that she was the mother of bouncing twin boys. "The other sister came down in a hurry. 'Well,' she said, 'now see what's happened. I wanted you to have a homeopathic doctor. After this I guess you will listen to me.'" Purely Practical. "Mr. Titephist, we have discovered the body of a mastodon in your coal mine. It is an immense beast, and science will rejoice." "But why should it die in my mine and fill up space?

On the tenth anniversary of his wedding, a merchant in Washington was approached by a book agent who offered for inspection a varied assortment of books, particularly dwelling on the beauty and value of a new edition of the Bible. He said: "I have been told that this is your wedding anniversary, and you could make no better present to your wife than a family Bible, and this splendid edition which sells for $15 at retail I am now able to offer to you for $10 spot cash." He made the sale, giving a beautiful imitation morocco case, which he claimed was genuine. Then he hastened to the home of the merchant, and, using the same argument, induced the wife to buy another edition of the family Bible as an appropriate wedding present for her husband. When they exchanged presents that evening, there was quite a commotion in the home, and the husband was beside himself with rage, forgetting that both of those Bibles contained the injunction: "Let not the sun go down upon thy wrath." Being unable to go downtown, he telephoned to a friend to go to the station, and bring that agent to the house without fail. The friend hastened to the depot, caught the book agent, delivered the message and insisted upon the agent delaying his departure. The wily fellow, full of business, replied: "I offered him a copy of this Bible for $10 and he put it off for the time, I am very sure that he has repented and wants a copy as a wedding present for his wife. He has undoubtedly told her of the bargain, and she wants it. I cannot remain over, however, for one sale, but you can take it to him, and he will be delighted, and will forever thank you for having overtaken me. The price is only $10, and you had better take it to him, as his wife is probably crazy to get it." The friend paid the $10 and took the Bible home to his anxious friend; and, what then happened and what was said would not be proper to print.

A certain theatrical troupe, after a dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally arrived in a small New Jersey town. That night, though there was no furor or general uprising of the audience, there was enough hand-clapping to arouse the troupe's dejected spirits. The leading man stepped to the footlights after the first act and bowed profoundly. Still the clapping continued. When he went behind the scenes he saw an Irish stage hand laughing heartily. "Well, what do you think of that?" asked the actor, throwing out his chest. "What dye mean?" inquired the Irishman. "Why, the hand-clapping out there," was the reply. "Hand-clapping?" "Yes," said the Thesplan, "they are giving me enough applause to show they appreciate me." "D'ye call that applause?" inquired the old fellow. "Whol, that's not app plause. Thot's the audience killin mosquitoes."—Everybody's Magazine. 15 YEARS OF SUFFERING. Burning, Painful Sores on Legs— Tortured Day and Night—Tried Many Remedies to No Avail —Cured by Cuticura. "After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my husband's legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomforts and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cuticura Soap, "Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were died up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bearable. After three months he was quite well. I can prove this testimonial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper Frenchville, Me., July 21, 1907." Paving the Way. "George," said the pretty girl, "I know you're awful bashful." This was portentous, with leap year so new. He blushed assent. "And you'd have proposed to me except for that?" This, too, he was bound to acknowl edge. "Well, I would have accepted," she went on, "and so that's settled." Discussing the matter later she expressed a natural pride that she had not taken any advantage of the season. Menu Thoroughly Varied. James McNeill Whistler once visited an artist in Paris who was not overburdened with this world's goods, and was surprised at the sumptuous lunch provided.

Sometimes Jacko returns with a loaf, sometimes with a ham. His visits are full of surprises. One never knows what may appear." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Ominous. "The bookkeeper," said the junior partner, "has been married nearly four months now."

DEATH HOUSE AT LA PORTE MISSING WOMAN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF MANY MURDERS. MORE BODIES FOUND SUSPECTED MURDERERS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BURNED AS WAS THOUGHT. La Porte, Ind.—A sixth body has been dug from the back yard of the Gunness "house of death" by Coroner Mack. This makes a total of eleven victims of violent death in the long list of crimes charged to Mrs. Belle Gunness, who was burned to death a week ago with three of her children. The sixth body was dug from a grave beside the two holes from which the first five bodies were taken. It was found under a cover of cobblestones and was but two feet beneath the surface. It had evidently been buried for a year or more. More human bones were found, indicating a thirteenth victim of this amazing series of murders. Expressmen say that within the past six months they had delivered half a dozen trunks at the Gunness home. Ray Lamphere, who is under arrest, declares that Mrs. Belle Gunness was the master mind of the "murder asylum." The police charge that he was her accomplice and killed her in a jealous rage, then set the house on fire. • Police suspicion was first aroused when the bodies of four persons were recovered from the ruins of the Gunness, which burned down on April 28th. They could not be identified, but are believed to be those of Belle Gunness, forty-four years old, and her daughters. Myrtle Sorinsen, eleven years old, Lucy Sorinsen, nine years old, and their half brother, Philip Gunness, five years old. All of the bodies were burned so that recognition is practically a guess. Further search was made and in the yard of the home the police unearthed four bodies, three men and one girl. These were so decomposed that identification could not be made with accuracy. All of the victims brought Mrs. Gunness money through insurance or in cash Two of her husbands died under suspicious circumstances. The life of the first, Max Sorinsen, was insured for $8,500, and that of the second, Gunness, for $3,500. The companies paid the money over to her. That Mrs. Gunness was contemplating still another murder is the belief of the officers, based on the receipt of a letter on Wednesday by Executor Fogle to Mrs. Gunness' estate addressed to Mrs. Gunness. The letter is written in Norwegian and is from Carl Peterson of Waupaca, Wisconsin. He writes that he is sorry he cannot meet her requirements as to his financial conditions, but that he is respectable and worthy in every way. Twice in her career she destroyed property belonging to her and in both cases she collected insurance from the fire underwriters. Today it is even intimated that the woman herself may not be dead—that she procured a female corpse, set fire to her own house and then fled, leaving the world to believe she had perished in the flames. The first body dug up was that of Andrew Helgelein, a wealthy bachelor of Aberdeen, South Dakota, who came here in January and disappeared about February 1st. It was found about four feet under ground. The limbs and head had been sawed off and placed in gunny sacks, which then had been sewed up. The body was nude. In a second excavation at the depth of three feet a skeleton believed to be that of Jennie Olson, an adopted daughter of Mrs. Gunness who disappeared in September, 1906, was discovered. The girl was nearly seventeen years old and was reported by Mrs. Gunness to have gone to Los Angeles, California, to attend college, although there are no witnesses in La Porte who saw her go away. Below the skeleton were pieces of mattress and a thin layer of earth. Continued digging brought the searchers to more sacks which contained the dismembered body of a large man. Decomposition had reduced the body to such a state that the only features recognizable as such were a dark mustache and dark hair. Beneath this body was another layer of earth under which were found the bodies of two children, apparently about twelve years of age. There are several more suspicious places in the grounds about the ruins, and it is the intention of the authorities to resume the search. Must Respect U. S. Uniform. Providence, R. I.—A bill making it a misdemeanor for amusement places to discriminate against persons wearing the uniform of the navy, or army, the National Guard or Naval Reserve, has been passed in the Senate with an amendment, which was promptly concurred in by the House.

"I never see a feller in love but what I want to tell him for to keep his hands off'n the door knob, an' I never see a gal looking kinder sticky around the mouth but what I wanter say: 'Good luck, honey!' Come an' buss your Uncle Billy!' I wish 'em all well, an' I'm allers glad when a gal gits a beau-lover. It keeps the world a-movin', an' helps civilization along.

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY. Many people look upon paint buying as a lottery and so it is, the way they do it. It is not necessarily so, however. Pure White Leal and linseed oil are the essential elements of good paint. Adulterants in white lead can be easily found by the use of a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil can be detected with a fair degree of certainty. See that these two elements are pure and properly put on and the paint will stay put. National Lead Company, Woodbridge, Building, New York City, will send a blowpipe outfit and instructions for testing both white lead and linseed oil, on request. NO MARRIAGE BELLS FOR HIM.

DOUGLAS, Brockton, Mass. A woman who was perfectly well, but fancied she was suffering from fever, called on an old and experienced physician to consult him. She described her symptoms at some length, and he listened patiently. At last he said: "I think I understand your case, madam. Sit perfectly still a few moments and let me look at you." She compiled and he eyed her attentively for nearly a minute, glancing at his watch once or twice in the meantime. "There is nothing the matter with you, madam," he said. "You haven't the slightest indication of fever. Your heart beat is perfectly normal." "Why, how do you know, doctor?" she asked in surprise. "You didn't feel my pulse." "I didn't need to," he answered. "I counted the vibrations of the ostrich feather on your hat." And he bowed her out. Modern Explanation.

PINKHAM Nature and a woman's work combined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: "Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. SICK HEADACHE SICK HEADACHE CARTERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS.

Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refreshing) Wearer Now Puts the Finishing Scenes Most Appropriate. "Touches .ons Costume Dining room pictures are limited as to subject if one is to choose accord- ing to the accepted standards. The modern man and woman of good taste are fastidious about the company they dine with, and they prefer no pictures at all to inappropriate ones. Floral subjects are sulted to dining room ‘walls and dainty, refreshing scenes ‘are appropriate. Figures fit better into other rooms. French prints in delicate colorings are favorite pictures for bedrooms. They are dainty in subject and tone and look well in white, gold, pale gray or any light-tinted frame, For some time now women have been buy: ‘ing up French prints at auctions and in the shops to be later hung in their country homes. ‘The prints are not ex- pensive and they are perfect for rooms belonging to the sex they usu: ally portray. Etchings and photo- gravures are the next choice for bed- room walls. The list of subjects in this line is so varied and so long that all tastes and fancies can be suited. ‘The average hall is too small to suggest a background for pictures, yet where there is space pictures can be hung on the slanting walls with a charming effect. Colored or brown prints of uniform size and set in a untform molding may be arranged in an ascending line parallel with the stairway, Often pictures are hung in this way so close together that the edges almost touch, Hunting scenes and quaint old prints are suited to hall walls. ‘The walls opposite the stairs may be decorated with a few larger pictures of the same style and framed in the same way as the small er ones. A higgledy-piggledy arrange: ment is never in good taste in any room. There must be a recognized regularity about the hanging if the result 1s to be at all satisfactory. Photographs are now hung onty in the bedroom or the boudoir. A group of one’s relatives and close friends may occupy a large space on one wall, There may be a dozen or more single pictures framed in small ovals, cireles, squares and grouped together artistically. French frames, showing an elaborate festooning in gold across the top of the picture, are exquisite for photographs. These may be hime separately to give the effect of medal: lions against the delicate wall coy. ene Proper Care of the Face. According to a writer in Harper's Bazar, the face ought to be washed with hot water and soap twice a day; for the skin is one of the chief “bounce: ers” of the anatomy. It is constantly excreting “carbonic acid, perspiration, salts, acids, bile, pigment, even brok- en down corpuscles.” ‘That is, it ex- cretes them if the pores are kept open; if they are not it gets clogged both with secretions from the inside and with the dust and dirt of the at- mosphere. Refore going to bed the face must te thoroughly washed with hot water and pure soap—and only individual ex- periment will determine what soap is best suited for the individual skin. Most skins seem to like good olive of soap best. The water should be softened with a little borax, or with almond meal, if that agrees with the skin, Japanese Effects. | A quaint new wrap has Japanese sleeves that cover the shoulders al: most to the neck, The wrap has a bolero back, quite loose, and the fronts are nothing but ribbon attached to the sleeves, carried across the front of the waist and tied in a bow with the ends left to stream out at considerable length. In bodices there is also a Japanese effect in a draped waist with broad bands forming the sleeves, These bands go down the back, forming and outlining a pointed hood that tapers in ‘at the waist line. From the pointed end a long tassel depends and rests on the skirt. This is used in elaborate afternoon gowns. EMBROIDERY FOR THE DRESS, Wearer Now Puts the Finishing Touches on Costume. Hand embroidery is quite the most desirable trimming one may have, no matter what the costume may. be, and one of the very latest ideas 1s to have the dress made up by the dress: maker, and when it is finished the wearer puts in her idle moments dec- orating it in-plain but very conspieu- ous stitches, It was thus that an eton dress was made, the under-blouse of filet net. The jacket effect of Copen- hagen blue pongee was embroidered in big flowers, one overlapping the other, so that it gave the efect of a huge and artistie bouquet “ind also a great deal of embroidery, while in reality there was very little, ‘The petals were embroidered in the long and short stitch finished all ‘round in a buttonhole stitch, while the inside of the flowers were finished in French knots. The floss was exactly the same shade as the dress itself, and was of the coarsest silk fiber, so that it took not very many stitches to finish the work, and each stitch showed to the best advantage. f The same idea is frequently'carried ‘out in jumper dresses and guimpe frocks, and it is surprising how little ‘embroidery it takes to give the gown that distinctive stamp of elegance that ‘hand embroidery always adds. | SCARBOROUGH COSTUME. The smartness of the “Scarborough” costume is obvious from its faithful portrait here. It is made up either in black or navy serge, or in grey tweeds, with a fine stripe or tiny check in black.

To prepare herring for a relish tn the French way known as harang saur marine, choose the dried herring, Broil them and remove the skin and bones, Cut them in neat little strips. Arrange them in a dish with layers of sliced or grated onion, The former looks tho better, but the grated onion seems more digestible. Dress with oil, vine. gar and pepper. Serve as a relish for luncheon: A Plain Soup.—Leeks and potatoes make a good soup. Choose such a menu as this for a good plain dinner, Leek and potato soup, beefsteck, French fried potatoes, spinach with hard-boiled eggs and radishes, For dessert, apple sauce, Swiss cheese and coffee. If the cheaper fish must be bought for baking, such as cod, it may be much improved by baking it on a bed of vegetables and laying strips of ba. con or unsmoked pickled fat pork over it, basting frequently. Filets of fish, nicely fried, may be served with a brown sauce hot with curry powder. Large gherkin pickles may be cut in fan-shaped slices and ar- ranged with lemon slices for a gar- nish, or use sliced lemon’ with some chopped parsley sprinkled over it. How to Prepare Scallops.—Scallops are a very cheap form of shell-fish, ob- tainable in our markets, but more used by the foreign population, who know their excellence. While they require careful cleaning in more than one wa- ter, they are then available in many forms in place of clams and oysters or fish. They must be steamed in a kettle with about a pint of water, and a bou- quet of herbs is.desirable. When they open they can be cooled and the meat taken out and served in a variety of ways. Save the broth in the kettle. A chowder can be made in the usual way by browning some onion in fat sait pork in a kettle, then, when both are browned, add a little water and boil a few minutes before adding .some scallop broth and sliced _ potatoes. When the potatoes have cooked a few minutes, add the scallops and let all cook for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper and red pepper. Add some rich milk, and, if liked thicker, rub a little butter and flour together and put in the chowder. When it is served add some toasted crackers. Dust Broorn, | For the stick of the dust broom ot one from an old broom and pad the rough end, using a circle of old clotly about ten inches in diameter ana tet a good bit of cotton batting in the cen. ter. Insert the sticks and fasten the pad firmly on to it with heavy twine Take old flannel underwear and cut into strips 12 inches wide, slitting each strip in two-inch widths, like a fringe, leaving one and one-half inches along one edge. Cut’ enough of these to make a good full broom and sew them to the padding on the stick. Sat- urate with kerosene oil and allow it to dry completely before using. This is a great improvement over the regula- tion “broom bag,” as the strips get into the corners, around the legs of the furniture, etc. The oil takes up the dust readily and imparts a polish to the floor. Renauing NOlsisthe When oilcloth has been lald for a few months and is beginning to lose its shiny surface it can be renewed and made to lost twice as long. Melt a little ordinary glue in a pint of wa- ter, letting it stand on the top of the oven until it is dissolved, Wash the oileloth thoroughly and let it dry. Then at night, when no one will walk on it, go over the entire surface carefully with a flannel dipped into the glue water, Choose a dry day for doing it, and by morning you wil have a fine gloss. To Mend a Torn Garment. When a silk or cloth garment is torn, procure a few threads of the warp of the goods and darn as you would a stocking. If, you have no pieces from which this may be ob- tained, perhaps there is a straight edge on one of the seams from which a few threads may be taken. In this way the repair is made of exactly the same shade as the cloth—The De- lineator. : Bie Blant Matnninas. To each cupful of pie plant, cut up fine, add the juice and pulp of one or- ange, boll the orange rind cut in small pieces in weak salt water until tender. ‘Then remove rind and’p:t it with the other ingredients, adding a tablespoon- ful of lemon juice and 1% cupfuls sugar. Boil all rapidly until transpar- ent and put in jelly glasses. To Clean Matting. To clean Japanese matting and lino- leum use bran water, which is made by taking two handfuls of bran and boiling it in a gallon of water. After this has boiled 20 minutes strain and cleanse the matting or linoleum with a flannel cloth wet with bran water. ‘Wipe immediately with a dry cloth. To Cook Mackerel. Wash and drain a nice fresh mack- erel. Lay it in a pan of cold water and cook from 20 to 30 minutes, ‘Take out and drain, place on a hot platter, rub with butter.
