NEGRO The Influence of the Negro Vote Receiving More Attention T The influence of the Negro vote in presidential elections has received more attention this year than ever before. Speaking upon this interesting topic, the Washington Post says: "If the Negro vote had gone over faom Harrison to Cleveland in 1888, Cleveland would have been elected. It is doubtful if the colored vote would have turned subsequent elections, on account of the large majorities received by McKinley and Roosevelt. But it seems to be conceded that the election of 1908 will not be a walk over for the candidate of either party. If Taft and Bryan are the nominees, as now seems probable, the race may be very close, and it is possible that the colored voter will hold the balance of power. "New York, Connecticut and Indiana would hardly be classed as rock-bound Republican states, under normal conditions. New York alternated between a Republican and a Democratic majority for years. The Negro male population of voting age in New York in 1900 was 31,425. If this should swing away from the Republican candidate, he would be under a very heavy handicap. McKinley and Roosevelt would have been elected if every Negro had voted for Bryan and Parker. Could Taft do equally well? "In Ohio there were 31,235 Negroes of voting age in 1900. If they had gone against McKinley in 1896, he would have lost the state, since his majority was only 51,000. Roosevelt received the phenomenal majority of 256,000 in Ohio He could have dispenced with the colored vote. There are now supposed to be about 50,000 colored voters in the state, and a Democrat was elected Governor. Could a Republican candidate opposed by all the colored voters, and with local complications favoring the Democrats, overcome such a handicap? "There were 17,186 Negroes of voting age in Indiana in 1900, and in 1896 McKinley carried the state by about that figure. If the Negroes of that state were Republicans and had switched to Bryan, McKinley would have lost the state. Roosevelt's majority over Parker was large enough to have overcome a complete Negro disaffection. "The Negro vote of Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware was required by Mckinley in 1896 in or- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ved by Patro COLORA D VOTE ote in Presidential Elections, This Year than Ever Before. der to carry those states. If the Negro voters of those states should refuse to support the Republican ticket in 1908, it is possible that they could throw them into the Democratic column. There are about 30,000 Negro voters in Illinois, and if they are Republicans, it means that they could impose a handicay of 60,000 votes on the Republican nominee. "If the two parties should be running neck and neck this summer and fall, it is well within the possibilities that the colored voter will have the deciding vote." NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TEACH-ERS In COLORED SCHOOLS. The program of the Fifth Annual session of the National Association of Teachers in Colored schools is being sent out.

Pickens, Professor of Languages, Talladoga College. Friday evening, Dr. L. B. Moore, Dean of Teachers College, Howard University and Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Secretary of Freedmen's Aid Society. INDEPENDENCE Independence does not mean insolence, haughtiness and bigotry. It means self-reliance and a determination to do one's own thinking and acting, holding himself responsible for the results. All the world admires a man of self-reliance. He chooses his own course using the best light obtainable, and is not swerved from it by flattery, censure or the desire for wealth or position. The Negro race is much in need of this class DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1908. of leaders. We cannot hope to produce a strong,self-reliant people until we can have resolute, independent leaders.—Torchlight, Danville, Ky. WHITE ELKS SEEK PERMANENT INJUNCTION AGAINST COLORED. (Boston American) New York, June 8.—Elks all over the United States are interested in the final outcome of a temporary injunction which Supreme Court Justice Morschauser. at White Plains, has granted to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the Empire State against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, which is a colored organization, from using the name of white Elks, its emblem or membership card. The temporary injunction was obtained by John F. Brennan, a lawyer and member of Yonkers lodge, and Lawyer Thomas F. Curran of Lodge No. 1 of Manhattan, who represents the grand exalted ruler of the State of New York. Today Lawyer Brennan appeared before Justice Morschauser to argue a motion for the permanent injunction against the colored Order of Elks. The Elk seek a perpetual injunction against the colored order, which latter lodge, they say, is repugnant to the corporate rights of the white Elks. AN IMPORTANT "JIM CROW CAR" CASE. After being out a little more than two hours, the jury in the suit of Agnes Carver, colored, against the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad Company for $20,000 damages brought in a verdict in favor of the railroad. The woman alleged she boarded a car of the company at Thirty-sixth and M streets August 8, 1906 and paid her fare, entitling her to a ride to Livingston Heights, Va. She complained that shortly after leaving Rosslyn she was asked by the conductor to vacate her seat and to take a seat at the rear of the car, in compliance with the statute in Virginia requiring colored persons to ride in the rear of the car. She averred she refused to move and was arrested by a special officer and taken to jail at Rosslyn. There she was held until after midnight, but no charges were preferred against her and no trial given her in Virginia, she alleged. Defendant pleaded that under act of the legislature of Virginia, as amended in March, 1906, the company was compelled to act as it did. This contention was met by the assertion that, having boarded a car in Washington, the woman was an interstate passenger, and the law of Virginia could not be held to apply. Court instructed the jury that if it found the fare was collected on the Virginia side, the defense, under the law of Virginia was complete, but if, as contended by plaintiff, she paid her fare before crossing Aqueduct Bridge, she was entitled to recover. COLORED JEW. A longing to observe the passover has led to the discovery of a real black Jew in the jail at Newark, N. J, on the occasion of the recent celebration of the passover. Sam Johnson, the man in question, told the jailer that he was a Jew, and asked for Matzos. So strong was Johnson in his faith that he said he would starve before he would eat the flour of the Christians during passover. And he refused all bread. Very little attention was paid to Johnson's story, because his skin is as black as coal and he speaks with a Southern dialect. When, however, he was brought out for trial, to the surprise of all, he started to protest in Hebrew to a representative of the Jewish community who was present, for not being allowed to observe the festal season, as were his co religionists. He not only spoke Hebrew fluently but also could write in the language. He was born in Jerusalem, he said, and was really an Asiatic, although years spent in Virginia have caused him to act and talk like a native Afro-American.—Advocate, Portland, Or. Negroes Rights To Be Protected. The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship; it wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, prosperity and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more and without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, unAmerican and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. Writing of the American Negro, "No race or class of men ever passed from slavery to freedom with a record equally pure of revenge," says Carl Schurz in the May McClure's. Lieutenant R. E. S. Toomey, of Washington, D. C. who saw service during the Spanish-American war, has written an epic, praising the heroism of Senator J. B. Foraker and the poem is attaining a wide circulation. Clarence White, Washington's popular violinist, will sail next week for Paris to take a special course in classical music. Mr. White goes to Paris as the first student under the provisions of Mme. E. Azalia Hackley's scholarship. Dr. Travis J. A. Johnson, who recently graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York City, has the distinction of being the first and only Negro to successfully complete the four-year's at that institution. Nathan H. Alexander, of Alabama, has been reappointed Register of the Land Office at Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Alexander is one of Alabama's most highly respected citizens, and his retention is indisputable evidence of his satisfactory service as Register. Joseph Antonio Maceo, son of Gentroit, was married in New York the other day to Isabel Mackey, a decided blonde Maceo is a student at Syracuse University, and asserts that the expenses of his education are being met by the Cuban government. The wedding was a society event of much note. In the course of a report to the British colonial office the resident of Borgu province, Nigeria, mentions that the chief, Kofafu, is said to have reached the age of 205 while his son did not die until he was 157. The latter visited Soko-to not many years ago. The older teachers in Chicago's public schools are lamenting over the passage of a resolution by the School Board "Oslerizing" Chicago's public school system. Hereafter no person over fifty will be admitted to a teaching position. The resolution was passed on the theory that this age limit "appears to be the point at which the mental and physical vigor of those who NO. 39. come to us has begun to decline." The elder teachers today declared that, as a matter of fact, a woman teacher is at her best between the ages of fifty and sixty. The ruling does not affect teachers already employed. The concert given last week by Mrs. Aida Overton Walker at Grand Central Palace, New York city for the benefit of the White Rose Mission, was one of the grandest successes ever presented in the Empire City. Over 5000 persons were present, and it is said that over $2000 was turned over to the home by Mrs. Walker. Mrs. Walker is a wonderful woman. Baltimore, Md., June 7.—Three Negro priests celebrated mass at St. Peter Claver's colored Catholic church this morning. It was the first time in the history of the Catholic church in the United States that the officiating priests at a mass meeting have all been Negroes. This is because there are only three Negro priests in the church in this country. They are Rev. John Henry Dorsey, of St. John's College, Montgomery, Ala., who was the celebrant; Rev. Randolph Uncles, of Epiphany College Walbrook, deacon, and Rev. John Plantaigne, of the Apostolic Mission House, Washington, subdeacon. A white girl became the wife of a colored man when Dorothea Niner and Alonzo Holmes were united in matrimony by a colored minister, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, in his residence at 1211 T. street northwest, Washington, D. C. The girl claims to be nineteen years old of age, and her husband says he is twenty-one years old. They were accompanied to the house of the clergyman by two colored men, friends of the groom Holmes said he was going to New York, where he had secured employment. Relatives of the girl in Baltimore says she is but seventeen years old and was old enough to look after her affairs and prevent herself from being kidnapped. Charles Moorehouse who was grubstaked in 1886 by Mat Brown, a Negro of Spokane, returned from the South Sea Islands a few days ago bringing with him $10,000 as Brown's reward, Moorehouse is said to be fabulously rich. He found that Brown had died two years ago and he proposes to give the money to his heirs. At first glance this seems to be geuerous to a fault on the part of Moorhouse, but if Brown really grubstaked him, and if he, Moorehouse made his fortune from mines or other investment on said grubstake, then Brown's heirs are entitled to half of his entire fortune, and if they will take it into court they can collect the same.—Seattle Republican.

Denver-Boulder Interurban Denver.—A speed of fifty-five miles an hour was made Tuesday on the Denver & Interurban, the new electric road to Boulder, in conducting the first tests of the line. The car was run out of Denver in charge of Superintendent Hartman and went as far as Louisville Junction on the first run. At times it made a speed of a mile a minute. Late in the evening a telegram was sent to President Frank Trumbull of the Colorado & Southern, who is in New York, stating that the test was entirely satisfactory. On and after June 22d cars will run every two hours until equipment is received for an hourly service. Colored Women's Clubs Pueblo.—The Colorado Federation of Women's Clubs, colored, began its fifth annual session here Wednesday, with delegates in attendance from this state, Wyoming and Utah.

Custer, seventy years old, who stabbed William Marshall, a companion inmate at the county poor farm to death on Memorial Day with a pocketknife, was tried in the District Court Tuesday and sentenced to from twelve to eighteen years in the State Penitentiary at Canon City. This means a life sentence, since Custer is already gray and bowed down with age. Only his advanced years saved him from hanging. Custer pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree. Operating officials of the Union Pacific railway will hold their third annual meeting at the Brown Palace hotel in Denver June 22nd. At the evening session Charles Hansel of New York City will lecture on the subject of "Signaling and Interlocking."

KEYNOTE SOUNDED Address of Senator Burrows at Republican Convention. PROGRESS UNDER PARTY RULE Temporary Chairman Declares That Tariff Will Be Revised—Legislation Enacted to Prevent Recurrence of Financial Panics. Chicago, June 16.—Senator Burrows of Michigan, the temporary chairman of the Republican national convention, on assuming the chair delivered a speech sounding the keynote of the gathering. After a few brief opening remarks, he reviewed the history of the party and the country, showing the wonderful progress and development during the Republican administration of public affairs. The work of the nine executive departments, the pension bureau and the army was touched upon in turn and the successful and efficient management pointed out. The management of our outlying possessions was also dwelt upon by the chairman. On the subject of tariff revision, Senator Burrows said: "The Republican party stands for a revision and readjustment of our customs laws as changed industrial conditions at home and abroad may have made necessary, keeping steadily in view the cardinal principles of protection to American industries and American labor. As evidence of its good faith in this regard, the national house of representatives, clothed under the constitution with exclusive jurisdiction to 'originate all bills for raising revenue,' on the 20th of April just past, by formal resolution, authorized and directed its committee on ways and means, the organ of the house having jurisdiction of the question, 'to sit during the recess of congress and to gather such information, through governmental agents and otherwise, as it may see fit, looking toward the preparation of a bill for the revision of the tariff.' "Supplementing this action on the part of the house of representatives, and co-operating with it, the senate, in the exercise of its constitutional prerogative to 'propose or concur with amendments as on other bills,' on the 16th of May passed the following resolution: "Resolved, that the committee on finance are authorized, in connection with investigations heretofore ordered by the senate, with the view of promptly securing the information necessary for an intelligent revision of the customs laws of the United States, to call to their assistance experts in the executive departments of the government and to employ such other assistants as they shall require; and they are especially directed to report what further legislation is necessary to secure equitable treatment for the agricultural and other products of the United States in foreign countries, and they shall also, in the consideration of changes of rates, secure proof of the relative cost of production in this and in principal competing foreign countries of the various articles affected by the tariff upon which changes in rates of duty are desirable." "These public declarations by congress, upon the eve of the election, give the most solemn assurance possible that the work will be speedily undertaken and pressed to an early consummation. "In this connection it can be safely promised that whatever revision or readjustment takes place under the control of the Republican party, it will give just and adequate protection to American industries and American labor and defend the American market against the unjust and unequal aggressions from whatever quarter they may come." Speaking of the late financial panic, Chairman Burrows said: "The recent panic called the attention of congress to the necessity of further legislation, and a measure has been passed providing for an emergency currency of $500,000,000 to be issued under certain conditions and limitations, an authorization, it is believed, which will prevent the recurrence of any such disaster as befall the country last fall. The secretary of the treasury has already taken the necessary steps to give effect to this legislation, and banking associations are already forming to avail themselves of the benefits of this act. It is doubtful if the provisions of this act will ever be invoked, as the ability to supply $500,-000,000 additional currency whenever needed will of itself have a tendency to make its issuance unnecessary." The appointment of the monetary commission, which it was hoped would formulate a system that will meet every legitimate business, was also mentioned. In conclusion, Senator Burrows said: "The platform will voice the dominant thought of the people, and the candidates nominated must stand upon it firm and erect. They must have the patriotism and sagacity of a Lincoln, the tenacity of a Grant, the wisdom and moderation of McKinley and the courage of a Roosevelt. With such a platform and such candidates the issue can not be in doubt. The Republican party confidently submits its record to the approving judgment of the American people and, upon its renewed declaration of faith, invokes continuance of public favor."

Recently her grandmother concluded that it devolved on her to instruct the child in religious matters. "You must be a good girl, Ethel," she said. "Then you will go to heaven when you die." Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with this reward for exceptional conduct. "Don't you want to go to heaven?" asked grandma, with a look of reproach. "Oh, I don't know," temporized Ethel. "I guess not." "Why not?" demanded grandma, severely. "Because maybe I couldn't get out," answered Ethel. "You wouldn't want to get out," replied grandma. "Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel, with conviction. "No," argued grandma, "you would not. Why should you want to get out of heaven?" "Why," answered Ethel, "I guess I'd want to go and see you once in a while, wouldn't I?"—Woman's Home Companion. STRONG ON THE PROPRIETIES. How Could She Be Expected to Address Perfect Stranger? A traveler in the mountains of Tennessee had been stowed away in the best bed the cottage afforded. Late in the night he was awakened by the voice of the paterfamilias addressed to the daughter, who was entertaining company by the fireside. "Mandy," growled the old man, "is that young man there yit?" "Yep, pap." "Is he got his arm around yer waist?" "Yep, pap." "You-all tell him to take't away." "Aw, ye tell him yerself, pap." replied the girl, in a dull, lifeless voice. "He air a plumb stranger to me."— Success Magazine. A Dream. Towne—Do you believe in dreams?

A Teacher's Experience. "My friends call me 'The Postum Preacher,'" writes a Minn. school teacher, "because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go, and have been the means of liberating many 'coffee-pot slaves.' "I don't care what they call me so long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum. "While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration, which took me three years to rally from. "Mother coaxed me to use Postum, but I thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when I married I found my husband and I were both coffee toppers, and I can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cups. "At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it, served it with good cream, and asked my husband how he liked the coffee. "We each drank three cups apiece, and what a satisfied feeling it left. Our conversion has lasted several years and will continue as long as we live, for it has made us new—nerves are steady, appetites good, sleep sound and refreshing." "There's a Reason."

Spokes and Tires. John D. Rockefeller has one virtue which even his severest critics won't deny him; he doesn't affect public dinners. The secret of this abstinence he recently confided to his family physician. "In the first place," he said, "I can't eat much, as you know." "But you don't have to eat at such feasts," protested the doctor. "I'm aware of that," replied J. D., "but you do have to sit through the speeches, and if there's anything I dread it's that sort of thing. To my mind an after-dinner speech is like a bicycle-wheel; the longer the spoke the greater the tire."—Saturday Evening Post.

National Question With the night-riders menacing the peanut crop at the opening of the baseball and circus season, that trouble down in Kentucky becomes a national affair. Call out the regulars.-Pittsburgh Leader. The Nicetown Parrot. Jacob Hope, the famous pet stock dealer of Philadelphia, was showing a reporter one of his phonograph-trained parrots, a truly marvelous bird. "This bird isn't like the 'Uncle one,' said Mr. Hope. "There was a Nicetown man, you know, who had a parrot that he once commanded to say 'Uncle' in front of a room of guests. The parrot could say 'Uncle' beautifully, yet though the man pleaded with it nearly an hour, it remained as silent as the grave. "Then, enraged, he snatched up the obstinate parrot, ran with it to the chicken coop, and half twisting its neck, threw it in among the hens. "After his guests were gone he regretted his cruelty. He went sadly back to the chickencoop to see if the poor parrot was dead. "Opening the door, he frowned. Ten of his twelve prize Plymouth Rocks lay corpses on the floor, and the parrot was standing on the eleventh, twisting her neck and screaming: "Say "Uncle," durn ye; say "Uncle."" Saved Himself First Sam and Joe were out rowing, when the boat capsized, spilling both men in the water. Sam was a fine swimmer, but not very bright, while Joe was bright enough, but could not swim a stroke. When Sam found himself in the water he struck out lustily for the shore, while Joe clung to the overturned skiff. As soon as Sam reached the shore he was about to plunge into the water again, when a man standing near said: "What are you going back into the water for? You just swam ashore." Sam paused a moment, then said: "Well, I had to save myself first, now I'm going back to fetch Joe." Conflicting Toots Mifkins—"I wonder why Windig doesn't go to work?"

Cotton or Silk Fabrics Most Cool and Cheerful in Appearance—Calcutta Net Also Used Extensively in Many Ways. Heavy draperies should be replaced by lighter weight cotton or silk fabrics that are cool and cheerful in appearance. Curtains of Calcutta net are reasonable and suitable for various purposes. The net comes in all colors and in several meshes. It is 48 inches wide and 50 cents a yard. The green and tan shades are good. The white and ecru wash well, and to avoid shrinking, pull it gently into shape when nearly dry. Calcutta net is also used extensively for den and living-room pillows. The cushions first have a slip of a plain color and over this a cover of the net in a suitable shade. This gives a lattice effect to the pillows which is quite pleasing. Then there are silkolines, taffetas, soft silks and dimities, as well as denims and cretonnes. Silkolines are soft and pretty, but are most too filmsy for satisfactory curtains. Scrim increases in popularity and great improvement in weaves has been accomplished the past few years. Linen taffeta is very popular, and burlap is particularly well adapted for stenclil effects, and is available for walls as well as draperies. Dimity lauders well and can therefore be kept fresh and clean. Priscilla silk, coming in every shade at 90 cents a yard, can be used with cream Calcutta net to give color one to a room. This silk resembles the heavier raw silk used for draperies, but which costs $1.50 a yard. The silk curtains should hang straight down, and not reach more than four inches below the window. Many prefer curtains only to the sill, but allowance must then be made for shrinkage of the washable under curtain, as at all times both net and silk curtains should be the same length. Of course the domestic and imported cretones are handsomer each year and still lead in cotton fabrics for hangings and furniture coverings. Exquisite designs in domestic cretonne can be had as low as 28 cents a yard, and are shown side by side with the imported, which retail from 30 cents to $3.50 a yard. The higher-priced imported cretonnes are double width. The demand this season is for the single width grades, which cost from 30 to 50 cents a yard. As over draperies, cretonnes are effective. They should not be hung next to the glass, for they will fade rapidly. Plain net or scrim, between them and the light, protects the draperies. Some of the large shop windows are showing the effect of a room done entirely in cretonne. Where it is employed lavishly, there is danger in overdoing it. This season the cretonne in floral pattern is preferred, and although blue, mauve and pale yellow are in demand, pinks and reds are used to a greater extent.—N. Y. Post. Spiced Salmon. Select a flat can of salmon—the kind usually put up as "salmon steaks," as this makes a better appearance when served. Open carefully, drain off the liquid, and remove the skin and central bone, keeping the fish as whole as possible. Place carefully in an agate or earthen dish of sufficient depth to allow of its being covered with liquid. Take as much good vinegar as will be needed and to each quart add one teaspoonful of peppercorns, a half teaspoonful of whole allspice, a dozen cloves, one small white onion, one half a bay leaf, and a half teaspoonful of salt. Heat slowly, boil for five minutes, then pour immediately over the dish. Let stand for at least 12 hours before serving. It will keep well for four or five days. Prevent Line Twisting Prevent Line Twisting. One of the greatest annoyances and bothers which one has to put up with on washday is a clothes line which is constantly twisting, and if the line is a stiff one the trouble is increased fourfold. To prevent the line from twisting hold the ball of rope in the left hand and wind with the right hand until the twist appears, then change the ball to the right hand and twist with the left hand, and the twist will disappear. As soon as another twist appears change back to the left hand. Continue to wind in this manner until the line is all wound up. Quick Coffee Cake. Take three tablespoons of batter before you mix your bread. Break into this two eggs, one tablespoon and a half of melted butter, one cup of sugar, and a scant cup of milk. Beat this until well mixed. Then add a cup and a half of flour and two teaspoons of baking powder. Stir up again and spread in pan to bake. On top sprinkle cinnamon and a half cup of sugar. Apples or raisins may be added if liked. Bake in quick oven at once. Fresh Doughnuts. Try placing doughnuts in a hot oven for a few minutes before serving. Then put them, one at a time, in a small bag containing a little powdered sugar and shake well. In this way doughnuts several days old seem nearly as fresh as those just made. Juicy Steak. Cut beefsteak in large pieces, dip in cold water, flour, and fry in hot lard. Try this and you will taste a delicious piece of juicy steak. FOR LOVERS OF GOOD THINGS. Three Recipes That Will Be Certain to Please Them. Washington Pie.—Six yolks of eggs, three light cups of sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, two cups of sifted sugar, all mixed thoroughly; add the whipped whites of six eggs, and just as the cakes are to be baked add four teaspoonfuls of sweet milk, with one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in it; bake in jelly cake pans in a quick oven. The mock charlotte for filling between the cakes is: One pint of sweet milk in a double boiler and when it begins to boil put in two eggs, whites and yolks well beaten, one cup of sifted sugar, one cup of sifted flour, and stir until thick. Flavor with vanilla and mix chocolate with it, or keep it plain, and spread between cakes and sift powdered sugar on top of cake. Marshmellow Souffle.—Whites of 12 eggs, 12 tablespoonfuls of gelatine dissolved in half a cup of warm water, one tablespoonful of vanilla and half of the juice of a lemon, all whipped stiff and put on ice. Serve this with maraschino cherries on top and yellow boiled custard, or whipped cream around it. Lady Baltimore Cake.—A big cake, or four layers; one cup of butter, two cups of sifted sugar, three and one-half cups of sifted flour, one cup of sweet milk, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, whites of six eggs whipped stiff, one teaspoonful of vanilla, and one teaspoonful of rose water; add the whites of eggs last. Filling and icing: Three cups of sifted granulated sugar in one cup of boiling water, whites of four eggs whipped stiff. To this icing add one cup of chopped raisins and one cup of grated pecans, and six figs, cut in small pieces; mix thoroughly, then put between the layers of cake, and ice on top and sides of the cake. ORDERLY WAYS THE BEST. How Much Time Frequently May Be Saved in the Household. As careful as housewives are, they sometimes neglect to keep the dresser drawers in good order and the handkerchiefs, sheets, stockings and the like are thrown in any place which will conveniently hold them. One would have far more room and would have much less bother if the articles were all placed together. After the laundry comes home put all sheets together, all pillow cases and articles of like kind in one pile, tie with white tape and give them a place in the drawer where they will always be found. There is quite an art in folding clothes to make each piece small and easily packed. It is nice to have all articles arranged like this. Place between the various packages the little envelopes of sandal wood. It has a lasting and delicate odor that is pleasing to the most refined taste. Canning Rhubarb. Canning Rhubarb. If one has canned rhubarb it can be used during the winter to mix with other fruits for pies and the "filler" is never detected. It can be mixed with apples for pies, is delicious when added to berries and cranberries are more delicate when mixed half and half with rhubarb. One way of preparing rhubarb is to cook it until done without adding sugar, though often persons find it keeps better if preserved in the ordinary manner, with less sugar than is needed to completely sweeten it. Add but little water, for the rhubarb contains a great deal of its own liquid and needs only enough to start steam. There are so many uses for this cheap article of food that a dozen or two dozen jars will not come amiss when fruit is needed in the winter. A Valuable Tip. With many washings blankets are apt to shrink, and weary folk know the discomfort of using one too short for the bed. Here is an excellent remedy: Obtain a strip of stout, unbleached calico or sheeting the width of the blanket, the depth depending on how much additional length is needed. Machine this securely on to the end of the blanket. Place this end at the foot of the bed, tucking the calico well under the mattress. The outer edges of old sheets worn in the middle can be utilized in this way instead of new calico.—Home Chat Tomato Pie. Chop fine any bits of cold meat, several different kinds will make the dish more tasty. Line a dish with bread crumbs, then put in a layer of the meat, well seasoned, and a few bits of butter; then a layer of tomatoes. Then more crumbs, meat, tomatoes, etc., until all materials are used. Add any gravy left over, to moisten, or make a little stock from the meat bones, as the pies should be as moist as a scallop. Bake in a hot oven until nicely browned. A Popular Dish. A popular dish served in one of the restaurants consists of half a baked potato, unpeeled, with enough of the inside scooped out to make a cup, which is filled with a shirred egg dressed with white sauce flavored with cheese. The potato makes an excellent ramekin for the purpose, and it retains the heat well, and makes the dish more appetizing. Pumice Stone for Pans. When washing kitchen utensils, such as skillets, frying pans, etc., scour with a flat piece of pumice stone, which can be procured at any drug store for a few cents, and lasts for some time. You will find it a good help in keeping such articles bright and clean. at a Suit made with Dash and Style call on Us. TO ORDER $15 up Markmanship Guaranteed DENEY REFUNDED Clothing Store.

It is said of the late "Plunger" Riley Grannan, who won and lost several fortunes by betting on anything and everything, from a horse race to how far a peanut would roll down hill, that he was exemplary in his personal habits, never touching either liquor or tobacco, and a model of good conduct in his family relations.

THE APPEAL OF THE WEAK The Liberian mission, which has come to this country seeking the moral support of our government for the preservation of the little African republic's domain against the encroachments of France and Great Britain, deserves the encouragement of all true men who love liberty, be they black or white. The good offices of this country, exerted in such a cause, would be no less beneficial or important than those exercised in behalf of peace and justice between greater nations. WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK The colored people of Colorado object as much to the inference that they are entirely represented and controlled by the judgment of one narrow-minded individual as they do to the effort of Republican party managers to keep them from active and honest participation in the executive councils of the party. The only colored man in Colorado who boasts the confidence of party leaders, is a man who humbly truckles to the desires of party or factional bosses, without the manhood or personal independence to assert what he knows to be the demands of the people whom he professes to represent. No man can hope to direct the colored vote in Colorado or speak authoratively for the voters, without close consultation with various local leaders and club organizations whose objects have been broadly declared and espoused by the people of the various communities. The colored people are not used to boss rule and they are not going to get used to it. There is more dissatisfaction and disaffection among colored voters in this state today than was ever known before, because of the suspicion that an unchosen leader is being foisted upon them. If he were a man of broad abilities and recognized power and one whose personal worth had made him popular among his people, their confidence in him would appease their desire for direct and straight-forward dealings with the politicians, but the present tendency to concentrate in a single individual of small executive ability and no popular esteem, the advisory interests of the whole colored voting population, is leading to discord and ill-feeling in every colored community in the state. Each community has its representative men and women, and here in Denver there are several organized bodies and political elements whose respective following absolutely repudiate and denounce the assumed right of this back-door statesman to represent or speak for them. No man who executes treachery to his race can be a successful leader of the colored people, and if Republican leaders desire to see this fact demonstrated, they have but to continue ignoring the demands of worthy men throughout the state, under the selfish, narrow, easy-going advice of this self-inflated, handy man, who boasts of his unusual influence with them. A BEQUEST OF POWER The nominations of the Republican candidates for president and vice president of the United States will have been made when this writing reaches our readers, and with every indication apparent that William H. Taft will be the nominee for the highest office, we can safely comment upon the preliminary influences at work at Chicago and bearing upon the expected result. Press despatches state that there has been a peculiar absence of Taft enthusiasm among the delegates and visitors at the national convention, but that there has been everywhere-evident a settled conviction that he was to be the nominee. After-convention reflection will reveal this to have been a most unusual and peculiar condition, and it will be seen that it arose out of that more strangely universal popularity of Mr. Taft's sponsor, the President of the United States, for whom the great majority of the delegates would have more willingly cast their votes. Mr. Taft is not nearly so well known as the President of the United States, but the latter's endorsement of his war secretary and his express desire that he be nominated has been automatically acquiesced in by the delegated representatives of the Republican voters. The most peculiar and most unusual part of the situation lies in the fact that President Roosevelt has been permitted, absolutely alone, to choose not only his own successor, but to also persuade the delegates into the acceptance of his probable choice for the office of vice president. Never before in the history of the United States, has so much deference been shown to the wishes of any one man, either in office or out and some peculiar thoughts must follow when these facts are more soberly reviewed. It might never have been supposed that there could be such a pancity of personal convictions among the Republicans of the nation, or such an absence of personal independence as the present situation reveals. The apparent strength of the President among the masses and their approval of his general course in office, seems to have outweighed the aggregate wisdom of those who usually control and direct the destinies of the party in the nation. The earnest objections and opposition of persons and elements to the course being pursued have been steadily put down and overcome. Reliance has been placed in the belief that the nation at large will continue to accord to the President's ideas that enthusiastic endorsement which his own powerful personality has hitherto brought out. Unassimilative matters, like the colored soldier incident have been set aside for the ameliorating influences of time to adjust. If the efforts of the candidate and the wishes of the President shall continue sufficient to preserve the situation with all of its present characteristics the campaign must prove the most remarkable that a republic has ever seen. By PROF. THOMAS C. CHAMBERLAIN. University of Chicago. E have no accurate measure of the rate of soil-production but it is clearly very slow. While it varies directly for different kinds of rock and for partially reduced rock, the usual estimate is a foot in 4,000 to 6,000 years, which includes channel cutting., etc. This is doubtless too high for soil-production alone. I should hesitate to name a rate greater than one foot in 10,000 years on the basis of observation. If we allow 40,000 years for the four feet of soil next the rock it is probably none too conservative. To maintain a good working depth, surface waste should then not exceed some such rate as one inch in a thousand years. At any rate, surface wastage must be very slow unless it is to out-run soil production and lead to the loss of the body of the soil. Surface wastage is, therefore, a serious menace to the retention of our soils under present modes of management. From a study of soils, it becomes clear that the key to the problem lies in the control of the water which falls on each acre. This water-fall is an asset of great possible value; saved if turned where it will do good, lost if permitted to run away, doubly lost if it carries away also the soil. It is possible that some of the more radical and permanent remedies will be found by a closer study of nature's methods. Nature has been working at this complex problem of balance between soil formation, soil waste, surface slope, plant growth, and stream development, for millions of years. Looking closely at her methods we note that she uses a much larger variety of plants to cover and protect the soil than we do. These plants have a wider range of adaptation to the special situations where protection is needed. We may, therefore, inquire whether we should not follow this precedent further by developing more kinds of profitable plants and by using the protective varieties more freely on slopes especially subject to wash. The Despotism of Marriage By MRS. GEORGE NORMAN. and individuality renounced them at one fell swoop; he or she who had gone about the world since his or her emancipation from the leading-strings of infancy, assumed, at the bidding of society and custom, another and a life-long subjection to a fellow-being, made over his or her possessions, wealth, and person to another, and renounced, once and for all, the rights of privacy, friendship and opinion. Marriage, indeed, is so interpreted to this day by an unintelligent class of persons, who, so long, apparently, as they have food to eat, money to put in the bank, and a comfortable chair in which to spend their evenings, have not the slightest objection to grovelling, nor the most elementary aspiration towards a soul-life of their own. Dryden's famous epitaph intended for his wife's grave would, one imagines, be re-echoed by many long-suffering husbands had they the courage of their opinions: "Here lies my wife; here let her lie! Now she's at rest, and so am L." Ketts, in his Flowers of Wit, relates of the same poet, who seems to have taken matrimony gloomily, that his wife having, in an expansive moment, wished she might be the book that the poet liked best to read, artlessly inquired of her husband what book that should be. Dryden's answer, even for that plain-spoken age, was tart: "An almanacist," said he, "my dear; You know we change them every year." But when all criticism, all cynicism, are exhausted, the fact remains that we need marriage. We are so weak and so dependent; so short-lived and so solitary among great forces, that we human beings of a species seek each other blindly for comfort and support. For all our science and our progress we are but as children crying in the dark, and what we cry for is love; marriage may and should be the crown and glory of a perfect love. It may be all fulfillment and content, a dream within a dream of happiness that those who cannot share may watch afar off, with eyes dim with unshed tears—or with a patient and serene acceptance of a loss that somehow, in "God's instant men call years," will be repaired. Would-Be World Reformers By REV. W. A. BARTLETT, D. D., Chicago. Society is not going to be reorganized by people who demand their rights, and who start out with the proposition that most of the world is wrong and they are right. Because Plato and the Declaration of Independence have said that all men are created equal, some people forget that they are not all of the same ability and opportunity. There will always be the strong and the weak. There will always be those who are fortunate and those unfortunate. The child born with defective body or brain cannot contend against the one with strong body and developed powers. If you should distribute equally the wealth of the world to-day multitudes would not know what to do with their share, and by to-morrow some would be poor and others rich. Something more is required than the revolutionary cry "equality and fraternity." Furthermore, there could be no more disastrous course than one which would limit or discourage mankind in production, invention or advance along any line of progress. A good deal of present-day denunciation is aimed at those who have been successful through hard work, by taking the tide at the flood and through profiting by the tremendous momentum of the country's expansion. If a man has a good thing to sell it is no more crime for him to sell it to a million people than ten. There are bound to be great fortunes and mighty enterprises through the law of supply and demand, and there could be no more calamitous condition than one which should lay a heavy hand of restraint on him who is a producer of what the world needs, whether it be a picture or a brick, a song or a yard of cloth. W Nature Points the Way to Prevent Loss of Soil Marriage, as it was understood by the great mass of unthinking people till practically within our own life-time, was an institution which, had we read of it as existing on another planet, we should have regarded in the light of what Carlyle so graphically termed "the staggers of a mismanaged imagination" of some Titanic joker. For, as thus interpreted, it was the most unreasonable, monstrous, soul-destroying organization of which the mind could even remotely conceive. Human beings in full possession of their faculties, liberty Society is not going to be reorganized by people who demand their rights, and who start out with the proposition that most of the world is wrong and they are right. Because Plato and the Declaration of Independence have said that all men are created equal, some people forget that they are not all of the same ability and opportunity. There will always be the strong and the weak. There will always be those who are fortunate and those unfortunate. The child born with defective body or brain cannot contend against the one with strong body and developed powers.

GREAT SELLS-FLOTO SHOWS Has an Immense Parade. A distinguishing feature of the Sells-Floto Shows is the monster free open den street caravan. Who does not like to see the circus parade? Who would not view the gaily colored cages come along when Madame Valicito is seen spanking the noce of a large lion with a little whip while cheers greet the act? The "Rube" clown, who gets arrested for blocking traffic on the streets, with his mule and cart, was once a great feature. He is well known now, but the inventive minds of circus men will have another novelty to replace him. Another event of moment in every small town, and large one, too, for that matter, is the early arrival of the circus train. Long before the long train pulls in on the sidetrack near the depot the crowd is there. There is an army of juvenile volunteers, who are willing to carry water for the elephants just to get a free pasteboard entitling them to admission to the show later in the day. Men are there—to see that their boys, who have passed a sleepless night—do not get hurt. Even women find some excuse for going down to the railroad yards and taking a long look at the canvas-covered cars. Boys, who have gathered and sold enough old iron, rags and bones to get 50 cents, enjoy a memorable day and the streets leading from the farming district to town are covered with every imaginable kind of vehicle. Like the others, the farmers come—to bring the children. The feed dealer, who supplies hay, oats and corn for the horses on a contract made with the advance man, wants several extra tickets—just for the children. The same is true of the butcher, who supplies the meat for the cook tent. As soon as the sun is out there is bustle and activity every place. If the superintendent of the public school is wise he will declare a holiday. What boy or girl can think of geography, spelling or arithmetic when there is a circus in town? In the language of the German comedian, "It is to laugh." The circus does a land orice business, and as the crowd is pouring into the circus tent from the menagerie at the night performance, the army of employees of the show starts to take down the canvas which shelters the cages and the work of loading the outfit onto the train begins. Thousands of tired boys and girls retire, after having seen the show, peaceful and contented. The following morning the antics of the clown cause merriment at the breakfast table and some youths who reside near the circus hurry through their morning ablutions in order to go over near the ring and see if any change has been dropped by the spectators of the previous night. The great Sells-Floto Shows will be here Monday and Tuesday, June 22nd and 23rd at Sixth and Broadway. A Fair Trial and Justice Given To Jim Lynn. Special to Colorado Statesman. The article about this Negro in the Colorado Times are absolutely against the interest of the Negro race and not for the interest as this paper is supposed to be. No such articles should ever be published in a Negro paper. It bears upon the minds of Negroes heavily to read such articles in the white man's paper, and then the heading and discourse do not condemn so unmerciful. There is enough or this race agitation in the South without a Negro bringing it West. If our people must be tared-and-feathered, lynched and burned at the state, let it be done by the other race and in their papers. Is the time coming or is it here that we can not read a Negro paper, in peace? There has been a more disgraceful crime committed by every race that ever inhabited this noble state any length of time and its papers did not condemn their criminal so severe. Their punishment was never more than life in prison. From reading many papers all evidence is that the girl's life was taken accidently. As soon as the Negroes see that justice is given to such criminals the better the race will be. A. L. BRANDON, Walsenburg, Colo. Where Ivy Is Beneficial.

Guaranteed to Drive Away Enemies of Domestic Peace. Dissolve two pounds of alum in three quarts of water. Let it remain over night until all alum is dissolved. Then with a brush, apply boiling hot to joints or crevices in the closet or shelves where croton bugs, ants, cockroaches, etc., intrude; also joints and crevices of bedsteads, as bedbugs cannot live where this solution is applied. To keep woolens and furs from moths, be sure that none are in the article when put away; then take a piece of strong brown paper, with not a hole through which even a pin can enter. Put the article in it with several lumps of gum camphor between the folds; place this in a closed box. Cover every joint with paper. A piece of cotton cloth, if thick and firm, will answer. Russian leather, tobacco leaves, whole cloves, also are used to preserve furs or woolens from moths. Mice never get into trunks or drawers where gum camphor is placed. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If pecan nuts are soaked over night in water when cracked the kernels will come out whole. Sun blinds and shades should be unrolled and examined to see if they require mending or cleaning. The best way to mend a tear is to coaguline a piece of the same material on at the back. A garment made of almost any material may be creamed with tea. Make the tea strong and soak the garment in it. Iron the garment before it dries and the color will be a pretty cream. The tea does not streak the goods as coffee does and is a prettier color and less expensive than the creaming substance that is bought. After cooky dough has been prepared instead of using a cutter in the old way turn out part of the dough at a time on bread board and with the hand roll a long round roll about five inches thick. Then with a sharp knife cut off in small pieces about one-half inch thick; place in baking pan and give plenty of room to swell or spread. Will bake in perfect shape and is much quicker. IN THE HOME. An open fire is certainly a happy feature in it. Chairs that can be sat upon are a more necessary essential than some housewives think. In the living room there must be a softly shaded light placed low for reading and sewing. Readable books and magazines lying around loose are one of the important things. A carpet that can be walked on by the family is much better than one preserved for the sacred feet of strangers. Stilted "suits" of furniture are a good thing to avoid; also loud papers and highly colored pictures. As to tobacco smoke and dust—well, there have been homes with them and places without them that utterly failed to be homes. Cheerfulness and love and mutual accommodation as to tastes go further to make a real home than over-zealous spotlessness and everlasting oversight. Pan Stew. Take pieces of cold beefsteak, cut in small pieces, place in a frying pan until the bottom of the pan is covered. Dredge with flour, a little salt and pepper, and one onion chopped fine. Then slice cold potatoes and lay in layers on the meat; cut up a few tomatoes and place on top of the potatoes; season all with salt and pepper. Cover all with water, put the cover on and cook 20 minutes. Boll potatoes with the skins on the day before using. When the meat is boiled save some of the stock and put in when the meat and potatoes are mixed. Corn Starch Blanc Mange Stir into one quart boiling milk or fruit juice of any sort (that from stewed raspberries or cherries being best) four rounding tablespoonfuls corn starch dissolved in a little of the cold milk or fruit juice. Stir until smooth and thickened, sweeten and flavor to taste, then cook in double boiler for an hour. Pour into small molds wet with cold water and set away to cool. When ready to serve turn out on individual dishes and serve cold with cream and sugar. A pretty addition to the service of this pudding is to encircle each mold as turned out on a glass or china dish with a row of strawberries, raspberries, sliced bananas or peaches. This makes an extremely decorative and inexpensive dessert. To Prepare Duck. To dress a duck so that it will not be an all day task, as soon as killed and while it is still warm, pick off the fine feathers, providing you want to save them for pillows. Then pour scalding water over it and wrap it promptly in a piece of old blanket or flannel and allow it to steam in this for fully ten minutes. Unwrap and pull off the coarse feathers, and with a coarse cloth (a piece of burlap is best) rub the small feathers and "down" off it with almost no trouble. Egg Dressing. One egg well beaten; add a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoon of prepared mustard, one-half cup of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and pepper, if desired. Beat all thoroughly, then add one cup of cider vinegar. Boll—stir constantly, or cook in double boiler—till thick, and add heaping tablespoonful butter. The Denver Barber’s Supply G. 1008 FIFTEENTH STREET, DENVER, COLO. AT NAPLES The Funny Things One Sees By MARSHALL P. WILDER Gules, wy a OS we iY os =—C- ty sy Qeeeexny EN COWS PF (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) tributes that have been paid to that wonder of wonders? From its three strata of towns have been exhumed the rarest and choicest treasures that adorn the Naples museum, We walked upon the crust of the seething volcano of Solfatara, now half extinct—in fact, it has laid torpid for seven centuries and is now spread with lush vegetation in the spring- time, and the walk to it, at that sea- son, is through an inclosure lke a lovely park of winding alleys and flow- eredged paths. But in January we saw only the bare crust of the crater, from whose cliffs came puffs of white smoke, warnings that, at any moment, its hidden fires might break forth. We did not, as at Hawaii, drop our visit- ing cards into the clefts, only to see them burst into flame and consume in @ few seconds, for we were not so curious about subterranean matters as when we were fresh and green in globetrotting experiences; but we ventured out in obedience to. our guide—in whom a long familiarity with craters had doubtless bred con- tempt—to a few feet of the center. He stamps upon it and says It 1s hollow. It certainly appears so. He jumps upon it, and the surface quivers. You begin to feel creepy up and down your spinal column, but, led on by his ur- gent appeals and assertions of “No fear! not be 'fraid!” you follow him on lp-toe to the very middle of the rock- ing thing, hoping with all your soul that it will hold together until you are safely off it, when you come to a hole cut of which curls a little vapor and « curious murmuring sound as of some giant mumbling in his sleep. And that is the moment in which you wish you hadn't come. But you are induced to lean over and peer down into the hole, and are fascinated by the stirring and moving of boiling mud—horrid gray mud that reminds you Instantly of Kipling’s “great, gray, greasy Limpopo river,” only this is a lake, but gray and greasy enough in all conscience, and seething and boiling in the yenthole, and rising and falling with the eseap- ing gas that bubbles and bursts and then collects and bursts again. ‘The lovely Bay of Balae, that was once lined with the palace-villas of the wealthy Romans, much as New- port’s shore is to-day, held our interest for a couple of hours. We explored the ruins of a castle built by a Span- ish viceroy which stands on the site of Nero's villa; we compared it for beauty to the lonely temple of Serapis we had just left behind us near Poz- zuoll, long buried beneath the sea, to be at last cast up by some mighty up- heaval of unseen internal force. The beautiful, curved shore, “so beautiful yet so deadly,” from the wilderness of craters which abound there, fascinated us completely. We lunched ‘at a little inn at Baiae, where we had some of the famed wine of Posilipo and were amused by the importunities of the peasant beggars, who very success- fully wheedled us out of our spare cop- pers by their whines and wiles galore. In Egypt it was “backsheesh!” in our ears from morning till night; throughout Europe cries of “pour boire” and “trinkgeld” haunted one's footsteps; but ancfent little Naples had a word all her own. It was “Spaghett!” Simply that, and nothing more. No last syllable, with crisp ac- cent; but the shortened, curt “Spa- ghett!” was hurled at us from every corner ands followed, with deafening echoes, our vanishing carriage wheels, “Spaghett! Spaghett!” Beside the Lucrine lake we stood and conjured up the spot where the villa of Agrippina, mother of Nero, probably stood; but the thought of her cruel murder at the hands of her mon- ster of a son did not mingle pleasantly with the peaceful lapping of the waves against the reeds, so we turned away | and asked to be taken to the Grotto del Cane, or Dog Grotto, that amazing sepulcher of animal hopes and fears which year by year has drawn thou- sands of visitors to Its rocky sides, As if in keeping with its treacherous fame the guide who shows you the place is a full-fledged brigand, who, “when work is slow,” ekes out a sub- sistence by playing at guide. Ten to one he has a little dog at his heels, and thereby hangs a tale. While you listen to the guide the puppy looks at you with blinking eyes and a grin of confidence, the while his busy tail seems to say, “I know you'll never put me in that poisonous hole, will you?” And you can’t keep your eyes off his silly littie face, until you find yourself wondering if he's like your little dog at home, your faraway “Buster,” whose friendly face and welcome bark you have missed more than you would care to say. Certainly this idiotic little pup bears no outward resemblance to your faraway Buster; but inwardly— how about that? There les a story.

You'll try it on the dog. Fixing him with your eye you begin: “The fleas bothered my dog so, I concluded I'd teach ‘em a lesson I learned long ago, but never put in prac- tice. I sent and got a plece of liver and put it near the dog. The fleas all hopped onto it and stuck, Just as 1 was getting ready to throw it in the fire I turned my back a moment and the dog ate the liver, fleas and all. Now, he’s fleas lined.” But about the Dog Grotto. Well, it’s filled with carbonic acid gas, and for generations guides have made money out of tourists by shoving some poor little canine into the cave and keep- ing him there until his legs began to totter and his head to whirl, when they would haul him out and souse him in the near-by lake until he re- vived; and revive he must, for was there not another tourists’ carriage coming down the hill? But sometimes doggie didn’t revive. Well, he was only a dog, and there had been in- stances where men had perished in the foul-smelling cave. But that was ages ago. ‘There was a French king who brought a donkey to the grotto and tried the effect of the gas on him. The animal died. But why the king tried It on a donkey I don’t know, unless that a fellow-feeling makes us—but, no—I won't. ‘Then there was an early Span- ish viceroy who wanted to decide whether the gas was in prime condi- tion or not, so he put two of his slaves in the cave and they were brought out dead. Spoke well for the gas, at any rate, Nowadays the question as to the virtue of the gas is more humanely settled. The guide takes a burning torch and plunges it into the cave, Instantly it goes out. But if the act is repeated severai times the gas, im- pregnated with smoke, “assumes the appearance of a silver sea, flowing in rippling waves against the black wall of the cavern.” A good story is told of the guides of that region. As a mat- ter of fact they are wholly unreliable, with their high-sounding names of this broken wall or that defaced in- scription, It is said that they keep a little dog which they offer up as a sacrifice on the altar of the tourist's curiosity. “Shall I throw him in?” they will ask the visitor; and if he be of a hu- mane disposition he will quickly re- ply, “Certainly not! What a’ you think Tam?” And the guide will say—making a shrewd guess—"I teenk you are Ameri- can. Englees he say, ‘Yaas, bab Jove, t'row leetle beggar een!” But once there came along an American, whom the guide took to be English, and when he asked, “Shall I t'row leetle beggar een?” the Ameri- can replied: “If you do, I'll throw your d—d car- cass in after him!” ‘The thing to do while at Naples is to go to the pink coral grotto, so to the pink coral grotto we went. It lies | between the Bay of Pozzuoli and that special little bay where Pliny kept his. navy. We went out in a boat with four rowers, the chief of whom gave us large bunches of taffy about our country—“beeyuteeful America,” “fine New York,” etc—he had traveled, oh, yes! he had been to Jiblater (Gibral- tar) and to America—“beeyuteeful country!” ete., until {t came time to return, when the fellow demanded that we pay them a franc each then and there, instead of the equivalent of ten cents each on the return to the shore. Upon refusal he worked him- self up into a hysterical sort of paroxysm, and shrieked: “No! not shore! In de boat! In de boat! But my American nerve rose to the occasion and I flatly refused, notwithstanding that the situation began to get strained, to put it mildly. Sulkily he gave in, and gave the command to re- turn to land, and slowly we were pro- pelled—so slowly, indeed, that I had serious misgivings that we were to spend the night upon the darkening sea, while the muttered abuse of our country—"Vile country—people _vil- lains—dirty New York—America all thieves!”"—made me long to knock the rascal overboard and have done with him. However, as we approached the shore they became more civil and, as we alighted—glad to be back with a whole skin—they bowed and scraped, cap in hand, begging for a settlement at once. But no, the game was now in my hand, and marching up to the ho- tel I demanded of the manager how it was that he sent his guests out with @ parcel of rascals and extortionists, terrifying hapless foreigners and in- -dulging in foul abuse of their country, ‘etc., ete.

It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is Mrs. Will Young, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: "I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had done for others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel like a new woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration. SOUNDS FAMILIAR. "The End of a Long Life." "The End of a Long Life." After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hal Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed—Only Cutic cura Proved Successful. "About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many 'sure cures' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hair it began to regain its former glossy appearance. Mrs. Lavina J.

Dread Disease Robbed of its Terrors by Simple Remedy. Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in northern New Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The health board of Washington, N. J., has published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the publication as it has appeared in the papers of Washington: "Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies." "Internal Revenue" Collections. The term "internal revenue" has been restricted in its meaning to such revenues only as are collected under the internal revenue bureau connected with the treasury department, and does not include all revenues that are, properly speaking, from internal sources, that is, from sources other than duties levied at the frontiers upon foreign commodities. Thus, moneys arising from the sale of public lands, from patent fees, or the revenues of the postal service, are not generally known as "internal revenues." FITS.

It clears the system, cleanses the skin, takes off spots, removes freckles and gives the complexion that charmingly pretty glow which all lovers of beauty admire. It can be taken internally and applied externally, and in either case it is excellent. An ideal beauty breakfast is a pint of strawberries with plenty of sugar, but with no cream or milk, eaten with toast or bread. AN EASILY MADE TRIMMING. Narrow Bands of Silk or Satin, with Fringed Borders. A dainty hand-made trimming for the new frock may be made from narrow, bias bands of silk or satin, with a fringed border of drops in the same material. The bands should not be more than a quarter of an inch wide finished and the whole trimming, dots and a should measure about an inch. Cut the bands a true bias an in wide, fold it in the center, then tu in each edge so it meets in the middle. Blind stitch the outer edge. A berry mashed and applied to the face will, if it is left for half an hour, remove even the most obstinate spots. At the end of half an hour the juice must be washed off with hot water. Strawberry juice rubbed into the arms and hands will whiten them marvelously. For those who are too fair to use the plain strawberry juice, the following complexion bath will serve the same purpose: Take half a cup of ripe berries and squeeze the juice into a basin, straining it through a cloth. To the juice add a pint of boiling water and a cup of red vinegar. This makes an excellent bath for the arms and hands and is exquisite for the face, although none must be allowed to get in the eyes. The cheeks and forehead can be daubed with the wash without getting any in the eyes. The Evening Wrap. Evening wraps, so says fashion, are to be more wonderful than ever. All colors are to be used and the materials are to be of the softest qualities. Especially beautiful are the interlined pongee wraps, these mostly coming in the natural color and having linings of the gayest of silks. A gorgeous evening cloak, improvised from Japanese silk and handsomely embroidered in oriental flowers and designs, was observed in one of New York's most popular cafes. The cloak was long, almost completely covering its wearer's gown and was made with pointed mandarin sleeves and pointed hem. Another lovely evening wrap is made from soft black satin and trimmed with bands of oriental or Dresden silk. This gives quite a Japanese effect and is exceptionally serviceable. Beauty Diet. Begin the day with a teaspoonful of grated carrots to brighten the eyes, and a good breakfast. For luncheon eat plentifully of watercress, dandelion, lettuce, carrots and spinach, for they are complexion beautifiers. During the summer months eat sea foods, lamb and young poultry. Avoid heavy meats. Eat largely of fruit salads and light vegetables. Upon retiring partake of a thin sandwich of bread and butter with thinly sliced onion between two lettuce leaves, which will relax the nerves and induce refreshing sleep. The following formula to soften water is most excellent for improving the complexion, giving that soft velvet appearance so much admired: Half an ounce of California borax, three ounces of fine oatmeal, three ounces almond meal, one ounce of powdered orris root. Mix together and tie securely in a cheese cloth bag. Drop into the bowl of water when required. Extraordinary Day Skirts. Those who aim to live up to the reputation of dressing always in the latest of French modishness must adopt the extraordinary new day skirts—skirts which are quite straight and very tight, with no bottom flare whatever. Nothing must hold this skirt out at the bottom which just touches all 'round and ends with a flat plait. This fashion edict will bring consternation to the majority, but as the great makers of costumes say: "It does seem odd just now, but, ladies, you will all get used to it in less than a week."—Vogue. Jabots of Lawn. Very pretty and new are the jabots made of fine plaited lawn with a colored hemstitch like a handkerchief, of course, in washing fabrics. They are smart in black and white, with pale blue, mauve and yellow edgings. AN EASILY MADE TRIMMING. Narrow Bands of Silk or Satin, with Fringed Borders. A dainty hand-made trimming for the new frock may be made from narrow, bias bands of silk or satin, with a fringed border of drops in the same material. The bands should not be more than a quarter of an inch wide finished, and the whole trimming, dots and all, should measure about an inch. Cut the bands a true bias an inch wide, fold it in the center, then turn in each edge so it meets in the middle. Blind stitch the outer edges together. The balls are made from tiny round pieces of the silk less than an inch in diameter. A thread is run around the outside and the edge is shirred up over a bit of cotton. These drops are attached to the bands by short threads of twisted embroidery silk in the same shade, the joinings being neatly hidden in the edge of the band. Dainty Cotton Prints. For freshening up country house bedrooms and to give a cool, summery air to those in town, flowered cotton prints are invaluable. They come in sets, including bed cover, curtains, cushion and table covers, all to match, though each piece can be bought separately. The groundwork of the prints is invariably white or cream, and the design may be an all over or bordered one. The colorings are dalty and fresh, including blues, pinks, mauves, browns and reds. With a pair of these print curtains at the window and a bed cover to match a room can be made to assume a sweet and inviting look. Invisible Eyes. If with a pair of scissors the round or heart-shaped eyes from an ordinary card of hooks and eyes be pulled straight, a fine substitute for the invisible eye will be found. These are preferable to the others for the backs of shirt waists. A. W. One of the delightful new shades of blue was used for this modish serge street costume, whose chile coat is cleverly trimmed with black buttons and stitching.

Denver, Colo Was Lost on Civil War Battlefield Years Ago. Minneapolis, Minn.—An identification medal, which was lost on the battlefield of Bolivar Heights, W. Va., September 13, 1862, has just been returned to its original possessor, Amos Hales. It was found on the battlefield 22 years ago by a nephew of W. C. Gompf, an insurance agent of Hartford, Conn., but it is 46 years since Mr. Hales saw it. Its return came about through a visit of Fred Hales, son of the civil war veteran, who heard of the finding of the medal when he was at Rochester, N. Y., last summer. The medal is of bronze and is about the size of a half dollar. On its face is a profile of Abraham Lincoln, and the inscription: "Abraham Lincoln, President U. S., War 1861." On the reverse of the medal is inscribed: "Amos Hales, Company C, Twenty-first New York Volunteers, Port Hope, C. W." Mr. Hales was one of the many Canadians who crossed the border to fight for the freedom of the slaves. The letters "C. W." he says, mean Canadian West, which has since become Ontario. He fought through the entire war in the Twenty-first New York Volunteers cavalry. The circumstances of losing the medal are not clear to him, but he recalls it was missing after the battle at Bolivar Heights, which was fought just across the Potomac river from Harper's Ferry. Mr. Hales is wearing the medal as a watch-charm, and holds it as one of his dearest possessions. MRS. LONGWORTH'S NEW FEAT. Vaults Fence to Greet Husband and Carry His Suit Case. Washington.—That Mrs. Nicholas Longworth's athletic skill has not deserted her since her assumption of matrimony is shown in a novel manner. Recently wayfarers in the vicinity of the Longworth residence noticed a hansom cab drive up to the legislator's house. In a second Mr. Longworth, bearing a suit case, emerged from the vehicle. Evidently Mrs. Longworth had been on the lookout for his arrival, for before cabby had received his hire the president's daughter had made her way down the stairs and into the garden, which is inclosed by an iron fence four feet high. Without stopping to unlatch the gate. Mrs. Longworth placed two hands on the fence, and, lightly vaulting it, was at her husband's side. Grasping the suit case in one hand and seizing him by the arm with the other she walked along gayly chatting and she started to carry the suit case into the house before the servants had time to make their appearance and relieve her of her self-imposed burden. SOCIETY WOMEN IN BALLOONS. British Social Leaders Ascend in Flyers at International Race. London.—Hurlingham, the erstwhile center of amusements such as pigeon shooting and polo, has now taken the lead in ballooning, society's latest recreation, and the other day was the scene of an international aeronautic contest in which 12 British, 13 French, three German, two Belgian and one Swiss balloon competed. The destination was Maidenhead, more than 30 miles away. The most interesting feature of the contest was the number of women who made the ascension and the great eagerness shown by society leaders to secure places in the cars. At the start of the race the Belgian balloon Emulation de Nord struck a tree in the grounds. The pilot cleared the obstruction, but his car took with it two huge branches of the tree. The winner proved to be the English balloon Valkyrie, which made the descent easily about 300 yards from the winning post. Griffith Brewer's Lotus, also a British representative, finished second. Old-Time Records Unearthed Show Strange Punishments. Dover, Del.—When some of Delaware's ancient court records were found in the office of the Kent county prothonotary, some dating as far back as 1699, the writing was found to be as legible as the day it was written. Among them were records of convictions of men and women for peculiar offenses, the sentences frequently being unusually severe. One preacher was convicted for marrying two couples in one day; a spectator in the court was sent to jail for smoking a pipe in the courtroom; a convict was arraigned for not having a Roman "T" on the front of his shirt to designate that he had been imprisoned for theft, and a servant who had left her master without his consent was sentenced to 110 days in the county jail. Builds Home on Church Model. Los Angeles, Cal.-After having been educated for the life of a nun, spending many years as organist of St. Patrick's church in Chicago and passing a long time in Palestine, Miss A. Martine has built a unique home at Santa Monica where she is passing the evening of her life in solitude. Fashioned after a village church, her cottage is frequently mistaken for a house of worship. It has belfry, gable, the windows and the entrance of a church, and was built upon designs drawn by its eccentric owner.
