Some Salient Points by a Forcible Writer. the Hon. Joseph H. Stuart. VOL. XIV. BOGUS LE What It Consists Of. Some S Writer, the Hon. Has the Republican party in Colorado degenerated into a "Lily white party?" And if so, has our self-styled and so-called leader been mainly responsible for this result? These are burning questions which have been agitating the minds of thoughtful Negroes during the past four years. During the last two years especially they have been and are now generally and earnestly discussed among the mass of intelligent voters of the race who seem now to believe what they at first regarded as a mere accident is now a part of a well studied and matured scheme of discrimination and elimination. Co-incidences are ofttimes strange and puzzling to account for. They defy any and all logical reasoning based upon cause and effect. And yet there might be some rational but occult chain of connection which our limited powers of observation were unable to perceive. It must be within the experience or at least the observation of nearly every person of mature years that evils, sometimes of a decidedly diverse character, often make their visitations not only in pairs but in flocks. But no known law seems to regulate their movements. Is this the case with the two evils colored Republicans have had to contend with during this period of four years—this leadership and this discrimination which will soon be pointed out? Now let us see whether it is necessary to dig very deep to find out the connection between this infliction of the gentleman in question upon the colored Republicans as their leader and the evil or evils which appeared coincident with that appointment and have so continued ever since. This self-styled leadership has not only been detrimental to the race it assumes to lead but it puts a blot on the record of the Republican party and positively misrepresents it. For the writer speaks with candor, a candor justified by the history of the party in Colorado, when he states here that were it not for the selfish and malign influence of this "leader" he would not have to ask the question with which this article opens. Because for twenty years, from 1882 to 1902, the party failed but once to place a representative of the race upon the legislative ticket to be voted for at the general election for members of the legislature. This exception was at the general election in 1888 when E. O. Wolcott State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patre COLOR EADERSHIP client Points by a Forcible Joseph H. Stuart. was a candidate for the first time for United States senator. The colored candidates presenting themselves for legislative honors that year were so numerous and manifested such a bitter and irreconcilable spirit toward each other that Mr. Wolcott fearing this feeling might be carried to the polls and endanger the whole legislative ticket in this country, as a measure of self-preservation, refused to the race a place on the ticket. Three months ago at an informal dinner in Pueblo given by colored citizens there to the colored visitors who were in attendance at the Republican state convention, the writer among others was called upon for a few remarks and he took occasion to call attention to these facts in a purely impersonal way and to point out that since 1902 the race failed to get recognition in any form on the ticket. "Our leader" interrupted and flatly contradicted him. It was a very unseemly thing to do at a hospitable festal board supposed to be free from all discussion. But the gentleman seemed to think it was all his work and that he was called upon to defend himself and the result of his genius. Now I will let the record of these years as made by the Republican party speak for itself. In 1882 and '84 Messrs. T. Gunnell and Geo. C. Sample were elected as state representatives and served their respective terms in the legislature. In '86 Edwin H. Hackley was nominated on the ticket; in '90 Leroy Hayes; in '92 John M. Williams. He was undoubtedly elected with all the balance of the ticket, except one man, but for some reason was counted out. In '94 the present writer was elected and served his term. In '96 the Republican party split on the question of free silver, but the real Republican party that remained with the national organization nominated Rev. Dan E. Johnson, who was, of course, defeated with the rest of the ticket. In 1898 the present writer was again nominated but defeated with the balance of the ticket. In 1900 J. D. D. Rivers, editor of the Colorado Statesman, was nominated but shared the defeat of the whole ticket. In 1902 Rev. Charles Edwards was nominated and without doubt elected with the rest of the ticket, but the entire ticket was counted out by the Democratic machine with the aid of the "Big Mitt." Now let us take a look at what happened in the campaign of 1902 onizing Tho ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1908. in its relation to the colored race and what influence that incident bears on its political fortunes ever since. It was clearly seen from the election returns of the party between the years 1896 and 1900 that it was in all probability scheduled to win in 1902. So our leader almost fresh from his employment under the Democratic administration took time by the forelock and offered himself as a candidate for state representative on the Republican ticket. The odor of the Democratic party still clung to his clothes, but what did he care? He wanted this honor and he wanted it badly. He reasoned like this: "If I have been politician enough to hold a janitorship under the Democratic administrations why shouldn't I be able now I have come back home to land the highest honor accorded to my race in this state?" He had evidently read or heard of the fatted calf being killed for the prodigal son who had gone astray and then returned, and he thought that history was going to repeat itself in his case. Oh, why should a man be endowed with brains that ache sometimes and cause work and worry always when brass is so good a substitute. His pretensions were derisively sat down upon and a good but unpretentious Republican (Rev. Edwards) received the nomination over him. It seems that right then and there "our leader" took a vow that no colored man should ever go back to the legislature except himself. He was greatly wounded in his self love. In 1904 before the campaign had fairly started he early proclaimed himself the "leader" of the colored Republicans. Shortly afterward he managed to have it circulated for the benefit of all would-be competitors that he was already slated for state representative by the Republican machine. There was no other aspirant to contest his claim or obstruct his wish. He had a clear field, but he secured only twelve votes in a convention of several hundred delegates. In 1906 he again early announced himself as a candidate already slated in order to head off all comers. His name wasn't even mentioned. He found himself in the convention as a pitiful orphan, a despised foundling without any backing whatever. No one put a straw in his way. But he is a glutton for defeats. Or, taking another view of this singular man, has somebody designedly selected him with his consent as a buffer to be used to deprive the race of just representation? We shall see, we shall see. In this blessed year of 1908 he has already been sending around his emissaries proclaiming his perennial candidacy and announcing the same old chestnut that he is slated for the legislature, and it will be he or no one else,—"Caesar aut nullus." Now can anybody explain why we always had representation when we had no one who claimed to be our leader and just as soon as a leader was selected for the race this representation ceased and was denied? Can anyone solve this other problem: How is it that the objection has often been raised against our claims for recognition on the ground that we presented too many candidates for the same office, but in the last two campaigns when the field was left, free, clear and undisturbed to a single candidate he was ignominiously turned down? The writer can think but of one plausible answer, and that is, that the candidate put himself up as a dummy to be knocked down in order to handle a little money to run a Jim Crow campaign for the Niggers and to be their boss.

The National Negro Business League is to meet in Baltimore, Md., August 19, 20 and 21. Great numbears of representative Negroes are coming from all parts of the country for this meeting. Many of them will come to Washington. On August 24 it has been arranged to invite these visitors to join with the people of Washington in a trip down the Potomac river to the new Washington Park which is to be formerly opened and dedicated at that time. Mr. Lewis G. Jefferson, the proprietor of the steamers Jane Mosely and River Queen, has given the use of his steamers for the benefit of the Frederick Douglas Memorial Home Fund. All the profits of the trip are to go toward this fund. DIVORCE FOR MADGE GANS. Baltimore, Md., July 18.—Madge M. Gans was granted an absolute divorce from Joe Gans, the Negro ex-champion pugilist, by Judge Sams, in Circuit Court No. 2, July 17. The decree was granted on the ground of infidelity. Gans was married in New York on April 8, 1900, and the divorce bill was filed on June 3. The fighter's wife now keeps a boarding house at 2712 Wabash avenue, Chicago. The suit of Mrs. Gans was entered and withdrawn several times. Mrs. Gans was a member of a colored theatrical company when in 1900 she married the lightweight champio.n. In 1905 their marital infelicities were brought to light NO. 46. by a divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Gans. A reconciliation was effected and the suit withdrawn, but the following year another suit, this time for partial divorce and alimony, was instituted. On this occasion Gans himself and Al Herford, his manager, went on the witness stand and both swore that Gans was a pugilistic "has been," that his punch was gone and he would no longer be able to earn a living in the ring. The alimony case was lost on this evidence and shortly afterward Gans won his biggest and most profitable fight. THE DENVER GIANTS.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIANS. There is possibly no Negro fraternal order in existence that has builded better and stronger than the Knights of Pythias. It is today one of the strongest, if not the very strongest organization, among the Negroes of this country. Each year chronicles accessions to the ranks and increase in assets to such an extent as to excite our admiration and to further strengthen our belief in the material advancement of the race. Today there exists among the Negroes of this country 2,632 K. of P. lodges, with a membership of 110,000, and adding to this the membership in the several courts, brings the grand total of membership in lodges under the direct administration of the colored K. P.'s to fully 150,000. The work this organization has done, and is doing, along charitable and benevolent lines for its members and those who depend on its members is almost incomparable. The total resources of this great organization among Negroes of the United States amounted to $807,-229.74 the first of July, 1907, and today the resources amount to fully one million of dollars. That is a stupendous sum, and when it is considered that one of the many Negro fraternal organizations has succeeded in amassing resources equal to one million of dollars, the progress of the race, and the ultimate commercial and industrial independence of the race can no longer be doubted.—N.

Going Back to the Sailor. In San Francisco the campaign against rats, as spreaders of the plague, is a subject of universal discussion. A conversation reported by a writer in the Call shows that the topic has reached even the children. "Wot they hunting up all rats for?" "Aw, don't yer know nothing? Rats has the plague, an' if you see one you'd better look out, 'cause you'll get it, too, maybe." "If you just see a rat do you get it?" "Aw, don't yer know nothing? You've got the plague when you've been bit by a flea what's been bit by a rat what's been bit by a railor." On Midsummer Eve. In European countries, midsummer eve, June 23, is celebrated, and the blazing fires from the hilltops are supposed to typify rejoicing at the good luck of the past year, and the burned-out fagots are kept to ward off evil for the coming year.

Subscription lists to provide Count Zeppelin means for building a new balloon have been opened throughout Germany and in Switzerland.

Prompt official denial was given to reports circulated at New York that President McCrea of the Pennsylvania railway system was about to retire. It is said that it was in the Uni-army, under Carl Schurz, during the Civil war that Count Zeppelin made his first balloon ascension, which created his interest in aeronautics. It was in a captive balloon sent up to observe the Confederate lines. The count was successful and became enthusiastic over the possibilities of balloons for military purposes. After that he made several ascensions before resigning from "the boys in blue." The British old age pension bill is now a law, having passed both houses of Parliament.

Denver.—Criticism of the, federal government for its institution of poli- cies which work toward the conserva- tion of natural resources such as the forest preserves and the irrigation pro- jects is quickly passing away in the opinion of Director of the United States Reclamation Service F. A. Newell, and the fact was strongly emphasized dur- ing the recent trip of Secretary Gar- field of the Department of the Interior. Moreover the waning of adverse com: ment is due to the recognition on the part of the people of the value which the immense undertakings will bring them. ‘This was excellently illustrated in the journey of the government offi cials for the reason that not a single new complaint was heard and that un- usually few of the old objections were offered. Mr. Newell, who arrived in Denver Thursday night from Garden City, Kas., where he left Mr. Garfield, particularly observed during during the inspection trip the attitude of farmers and cattle raisers toward the forest preserves. He found that now ft is broadly recognized that the govern- ment is not only benefiting posterity in its action, but the present genera- tion as well, that the poor have an equal right to use of the forests guaran- teed them, and that the element of chance in the grazing of sheep and cat- Ue has been removed by the national restrictions to limited territory. Regarding the greater irrigation pro- jects, such as the one at Montrose, Mr. Newell was conservative in his expres: sions as it is in those that he is most directly connected. The Gunnison tun: nel, he estimates, will be of incalcula labie value to the region in which it ts situated and will undoubtedly greatly ‘Increase the yalue of the land. So far he believes that the progress of the work there has been satisfactory under uniquely difficult conditions. Almost every degree of hardness in the rock has been encountered while the tunnel begins at both ends in singularly hard situations and must be bored at the ex- treme base of the mountain. Last Friday he and Secretary Gar- field had gone to visit it, but the flood of water which had unexpectedly filled the tunnel prevented any entrance to the interior. The damage done then was only tmporary and Mr. Newell thinks that with favorable conditions the pro ject may be entirely completed within a year, although unlooked for exigen cies may arise. As yet nothing concerning the reser yoir plans in the San Luis valley have been finally determined, but the Secre tary of the Interior has inspected the grounds, and a decision may be reached. Part of the time was spent by the party at the Indian reservation and Mesa Verde, where the cliff dwell ings were visited. These proved of ex ceptional interest, although the mem bers enjoyed the unusual experience of sliding down the rocks hundreds of feet in the midst of a heavy rainstorm. “To my mind,” Mr. Newell said, tu his room at the Adams, “Gifford Pin chot has accomplished one of the great est works of any living man. In a few years he has saved the forests from perpetual ownership by the weal thy and the large corporations.” Riverside Reservoir Completed. Greeley, Colo—MonAay the River. side Canal Company filed maps of its big Irrigation enterprise, claiming the appropriation of water and showing that the Riverside reservoir and canal, which has involved the expenditure of $1,500,000, is at last entirely com- pleted. The reservoir is in Morgan county and cost over $750,000, and has a capacity of 3,000,000,000 feet. of water and is five miles wide. It has been in progress of construction for over three years, and last week its dam was riprapped and faced with concrete. The canal of the reservoir is now 119 miles long. The headgate of the canal is located on the north bank of the South Platte river and the outlet ditch is thirty-five feet wide ‘The water of the system is drawn from the Sot¢h Platte riyer, Cotton- wood creek, Wild Cat, Antelope and Dead Horse creeks. The cost to build the ditch was $600,000, but 75,000 acres are provided ‘with irrigation by the system, Secretary C. A. Kelley of the Colo: rado State Rifle Association, has an nounced that Thursday and’ Friday, September 10th and 11th, there will be fifteen matches at the state rifle range near Golden. A large list of prizes will be offered and the officers of the association predict the largest number of entries in the history of the organization, There will be a mer- chants’ match and fifty merchandise prizes will be offered. ‘The high man taking his choice. ‘The altitude of Leadville has been raised 115 feet. Old-time records have always given the altitude at 10,025 feet, but the engineers of the United States geological. bureau, who are working in the city, have established it as 10,140 feet. The new figure will be used by the railroads and for all official purposes.

PRAISE FOR BOOKER Elbert Hubbard, editor of The Philistine Magazine, author of Little Journeys and many other valuable works, includes Booker T. Washington in a list of twelve of the world's great teachers. His July "Journey" is to Tuskegee, and he says some great things about Booker and his school. Above all the universities of the country he says that Tuskegee is the "ideal school." Further: "I expect that the day will come and ere long, when the great universities of the world will have to put the Tuskegee idea into execution in order to save themselves from being distanced by the colored race." WANTED—A NEW DEAL! The politicians of Colorado are shuffling the cards for the annual game of Old Sledge. It is a multi-handed game and we all have our legs crossed under the table and are watching with expectation the deft manipulation of the slippery pack. There are some old time experts in the game and we are a little anxious about the face value of the allotment that shall be thrown down in front of Mr. Ham. Heretofore we have had too many spot cards in our assortment and have caught the Joker all too often. We are a little inclined to think that it is not altogether chance that has thrown the short end of the deck our way, and we are watching, with no little disquietude and suspicion, the swift movement of the dealers' little finger. All we ask is a square deal and a straight deck, sleeves rolled high and all movements above board. Mr. Ham proposes to play his own hand this year and wants his cards dealt to no pretentious substitute. In the past the politicians have had a good thing of it with Mr. Ham, although our portion of the stakes has been just as valuable as that of any other participant in the game. It is not unnatural, therefore, that we are calling the hand of the man behind the deck and demanding a new deal. We prefer to play on the Republican side of the game, but we want the cards that belong to us. We don't want a short deal. We don't want to be considered the last man in the game. We don't want our hand played by any cringing servant of the politicians. We don't want any sleight-of-hand performances by which the colored man may be hoodwinked out of his honest share of the stakes. For the colored man is not in politics for the sole purpose of saving his own life nor for the purpose of insuring the life of others more capable of taking care of themselves. By the shaping of the primaries, the choosing of delegates and the necessary consultations of leaders and representatives of elements we will be able to judge whether the gentlemen with whom we are associated are going to play fair, or whether we are going to be subjected to the same old deal. THE FINAL SOLUTION. Ray Stannard Baker, who has been "following the color line" in numerous articles in The American Magazine during the past year, has demonstrated by his remarkably superior knowledge of the subject, that he understands the race question better than any other man in America, white or black. To us, this is a surprising discovery, for we have long held the opinion that no white man could look upon the situation just as we look upon it. We are still of the opinion that in some particulars, even Mr. Baker, with all his care and sound judgment and truthfulness, does not exactly employ the eyes and heart and soul of a Negro, but in the general summing up of all conditions and relations affecting the white and colored peoples in the United States, we freely confess that Mr. Baker's conception of the main question and logic of conclusion go so far beyond what we have hitherto learned or imagined as to be equally instructive to the black and the white student of socialological conditions. In his latest article in the August number of The American Magazine, Mr. Baker treats of the new educational movement in the South and of its wide influence upon all other conditions,—social, political and industrial. He says: "In a true sense the Southern Education Board and the Jeanes Fund Board represent organizations of working idealists. Such co-operation as this, between reasonable, broad-minded and unselfish men of the entire country, is, at the present moment, the real solution of our problems. It is the solution of the Negro problem—all the solution there ever will be. For there is no finality in human endeavor; there is only activity; and when that activity is informed with the truth and inspired with faith and courage, it is not otherwise than success, for it is the best that human nature at any given time can do." The Southern Education Board is composed of white men from North and South, and the Jeanes Fund Board is composed of both white and colored men from North and South, and includes Judge Taft, Andrew Carnegie, Booker T. Washington and Bishop Abram Grant. Understanding the far-reaching influence of this educational movement and its tendency to absorb and adjust all other questions, we are gravely impressed and inspired with the writer's logic; and yet, beyond the consummation of the great aims therein involved the Negro's gaze will be fixed, because of the final imperfection of a limited solution which is "all the solution there ever will be." THREATENED EPIDEMIC OF LYNCHING Are we to have another epidemic of lynching in this country? The News hopes not. But the signs are ominous. A few days ago a mob in Texas burned a negro criminal to death in the public square, in the presence of more than a thousand spectators. Day before yesterday a mob in Florida stormed a jail to get another Negro criminal, hanged him to an electric light pole and filled his body with lead. In this last named case three of the mob were killed by the guards at the prison and two of the sheriff's deputies, defending the prisoner, were seriously, perhaps fatally, wounded. It is a bad business, a wretched bad business, and the worst thing about it is that it seems to go in waves. For more than a year lynchings seemed unpopular. Governor after governor took whatever measures seemed needful to save his state from the disgrace of lawless mob violence, and the crusade against illegal executions was preached with an earnestness that filled us with hope. That hope we still hold, though doubtfully. The best ground for it is the damage inflicted on the Florida mob. That ought to act as a stay. The News is well aware of the fierce passion aroused by crimes such as that for which these two Negroes were killed. But we hold that brutality on the part of the criminal is no excuse for greater brutality on the part of the community. The mob that burned the helpless black villain in Texas inflicted an inhuman wrong on him. But they inflicted a yet greater wrong on themselves. There is not a person in that community but holds his life, his property, his happiness today by a less secure tenure than before the fiendish barbarity of that lynching. That was an act to brutalize all who saw it, or took part in it in any way. It was an act that distinctly lowered the moral standards of the community, and that will remain as a precedent for violence, not only to Negroes, but to whites, long after the name of the black scoundrel is forgotten. It is an act which should be punished in the sharpest fashion. Lynching is murder, under the laws of every state in the Union, and the authorities of Texas should proceed against the members of that mob under this law. If engaging in work of this sort meant prosecution for murder mobs would soon go out of fashion. And they cannot go out too soon. The above from The News, tell the story of a growing sentiment against America's most hated crime. We along with all good citizens deeply deplore the commission of such an offense against all law and decency, which arouses the passion of men. But we stand for law and order, with the proper and rigid enforcement of all laws. UNITY and the love of fine clothes which it engenders are marked among the savages who tattoo themselves before putting on garments, and they become more refined in civilized man in what is called society. But a higher state of culture and the growing empire of reason temper them and give them a less evil direction. Formerly men as well as women wore brilliant stuffs and ribbons, laces, and jewels, and it is still the custom in China and among savage peoples. But since the beginning of this century civilized nations have borrowed from England the black suit of the Quaker. For a man to wear diamonds, even as shirt buttons, is considered bad taste. Simplicity, extreme neatness, and cleanliness constitute the whole of masculine elegance. Women, on the other hand, still love to pierce their ears to hang from them certain stones, or to surround their neck with beads or small pieces of metal, as in the isles of the Pacific or in the days of prehistoric man. Every year they seek some new mode of rendering their garments more inconvenient and more costly. How shall we set about curing this infirmity, this relic of primitive barbarism? Stewart Neill tells us in his book on the condition of woman: "Give her such instruction as will set her at work in the matters of mind, and, like the modern man, she will cease to find pleasure in feathers and finery." A chimera, do you say? Feminine vanity is an incurable evil? I do not believe a word of it. Christianity wrought this miracle among the Quakers and in the monasteries; why should it not be wrought to-day by the sense of justice allied to the culture of reason? If the black dress coat has taken the place of the silken garments and trimmings of lace why should not a similar change be wrought in the costume of women? Throughout the whole period of classical antiquity were they not content with the linen-tunic and the chlamys of fine wool? As luxury in this instance has its root in vanity, what we need is to change the current of opinion. If public opinion were sufficiently enlightened to understand that luxury is a thing barbarous, infantine, immoral, and, above all, wrong, the woman who to-day dresses herself in costly clothes in order to please and be imposing would content herself with being beautiful or pretty at a slight cost, which is certainly the most charming fashion of so being. Good Roads a Factor in Trade By HOWARD H. GROSS, Secretary Farmers' Good Roads League. part of the state a few years ago discovered that trade was leaving it and the farmers were marketing their grain at another town, making their deposits in the banks of the other town and largely buying their supplies there. The people of the losing town began an investigation as to the cause and found the merchants of the town which was securing the trade were not able to offer bargains equal to the other. The price of grain was no better, the banks were no safer and the distance was against the successful town. When these conditions were found people began to look elsewhere for the cause. Inquiry among farmers disclosed the fact that because of the bad condition of the roads leading to the unsupported town the farmers could haul only three-fourths as much of a load to it as to the other town, consequently it lost its trade." There is no fact established in business that is any more certain than that good roads help trade. They shorten distances to market, promote that good roads help trade. business and enhance values and make life better worth living. Good roads are an indication of the intelligence, prosperity and industry of any community. V Country merchants do not fully appreciate what an importnat part good roads play in their business. Let any town improve its roads out five or six miles and it will draw trade that hitherto had gone to neighboring towns. People move along the line of least resistance. A farmer will travel five miles over good roads rather than three miles over bad ones; he can go quicker and haul twice the load.

WATCH OUR WINDOW DISPLAY BE ON HAND EARLY EVERY DAY SHOT COLORED BOY FOR LOOKING AT HIM. Each life should become conscious of its own individuality and responsibility, and poise itself on its own standing-ground. When a woman has learned that the center of the universe for her is where she stands, and has fully realized this idea of the central thought of being, she will comprehend that she can get no further than her own limitations, and must be controlled more or less by her own environment. To quote from Persian anthology: "Scoop thou ever so deep in river or fountain thou can't but fill the pitcher." New York, July 10.—John Fletcher of Trenton, N. J., came to New York today and celebrated the occasion by shooting a colored boy. The boy, Sam Holliday, was standing in front of his home in West Eighth street, when Fletcher came along, pulled his pistol and shot. Holliday was taken to Roosevelt hospital with a bullet in his chest, and the doctors said he might not recover. Motto from Ruskin "Try to get strength of heart to look yourself fairly in the face in mind as well as body. I do not doubt that the mind is a less pleasant thing to look at than the face, and for that very reason it needs more looking at; so always have two mirrors on your toilet table and see that with proper care you dress body and mind before them daily." "I didn't like the nasty, decisive way the fellow looked at me," was the only explanation Fletcher offered for his act, and in the Westside Court he was held without bail to await the result of the injury he had inflicted. Odd Wedding Gift. Friendship. One of the newest things in the way of a wedding present is a set of push buttons for every room in the house. They were of beaten gold and jade, pale ones for the light decorated rooms and dark ones for the heavier decorations. This is a new idea, but some one has suggested gold keys as even newer. A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends; and that the most liberal professions of good will are very far from being the surest marks of it.—George Washington. 0 0 0 Henry Hinkle spent Sunday in Colorado Springs.

Mrs. Jessie Nickens Reece received first prize, a handsome gold watch, and Miss Dora Holmes received second prize, a gold bracelet, for selling tickets. There was an unusual meeting at Shorter's A. M. E. church Monday at 11 a. m., under the auspices of the Mite Missionary Society. The principal address was made by Bishop W. H. Heard, who will leave the United States soon for Monrovia, Africa, where he is sent as bishop of the west coast of Africa. His remarks on Africa were well received and contained much information concerning the Dark continent. A very excellent paper was read by Mrs. S. W. Turner, Bishop Grant made a few remarks as well as Rev. A. M. Ward. Miss Bertha Cole presided at the organ very acceptably. Follow the crowd Thursday, August 13, 1908, to Bloomfield Park, for you will get more sport in one day than in all of your life. YOUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY Music and Literary Entertainment.

SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE OVERRULES TRIBUNAL WHICH OBJECTED. Wilmington, Del., July 27. Judge Spruance of the Superior Court overruled the decision made by Judge Edwin R. Cochran in the Municipal Court a few days ago that Negroes should not be alluded to in his court with the prefix "Mr.," "Mrs.," or "Miss" to their names. For persistence in doing this, after being warned, Judge Cochran imposed a fine of $5 on Christopher Brooks, colored, a witness in the court. In default of the fine Brooks was committed to the workhouse. In his opinion Judge Spruance held that Judge Cochran had no more right to make such a ruling applicable to Negroes in his court than he would have to make it applicable to foreigners. He ordered Brooks discharged from custody. If Negroes of Delaware will support the Republican ticket properly such insults as the above will never need legal or official adjustment and the race in that state could shortly boast of Negro lawyers practicing in local courts, something now unknown owing to Democratic rule.—Age.

Denver, Colo BERRIES ARE RIPE SOME GCOD METHODS OF PRE- SERVING AND SERVING. Blackberry Froth as a Lunchon Dainty—Recipes for Wine and Cordial—Serve Jelly with Whipped Cream. Blackberry Froth.—Whites of four eggs, one cupful of blackberry juice, two cupfuls of boiling water, one cupful of cold water, one-half box of gelatine, one cupful of sugar. Soak the gelatine in the cold water for one hour, stir the sugar into it and pour the boiling water over them. When they are dissolved add the blackberry juice, strain and set on the ice until the jelly is nearly firm. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff and whip into the jelly a little at a time. Turn into a mold wet with cold water and let it stand until firm. Serve with cream. Blackberry Wine.—Fill a stone jar with ripe berries and cover with water. Tie a cloth over the jar and let stand for four days to ferment; then mash the berries and strain through a cloth. Add three pounds of brown sugar to every gallon of juice; cover and skim them every morning until clear of fermentation; pour this off carefully from the sediment into a demijohn, cork and set in a cool place. This will be ready to use in two months. Blackberry Cordial. — Add two pounds of loaf sugar to one gallon of blackberry juice, a tablespoonful each of ground cloves and allspice, two nutmegs grated and a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon. Boll slowly for about 30 minutes, remove from fire and let cool; add a pint of good French brandy, then bottle. Blackberry Jelly.—Take one quart of berry juice and when it comes to a boil add to it a half box of soaked gelatine, one cupful of sugar and stir over the fire until gelatine dissolves. This will take only a few minutes. Strain into a mold and set away until hardened. Serve this with whipped cream. Blackberries Preserved.—Do not use fruit that is too ripe, weigh and put into glass jars, filling each one two-thirds full. Put one pound of sugar in a saucepan and one cupful of water to every two pounds of fruit, and let it come slowly to a boil. Pour this syrup hot into the jars over the berries, filling them to the brim. Place the jars in a boiler containing cold water and let the water come to a boil, and when the fruit is scalding hot take out the jars and cover them airtight. Blackberry Pudding.-Take two cups of stale bread crumbs soaked in two cupfuls of milk, a little salt and three eggs beaten well. Take one and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour and stir into it half a teaspoonful of baking powder; add one and one-half pints of blackberries. Put into a buttered pudding dish and steam for two hours. Serve with a rich sauce. To Keep Away Bugs. Make frames 12 inches square and four inches deep from any pieces of board at hand, or get a box from the grocer and split it up for the purpose. Set a frame over each hill of cucumbers or melons, and cover with a piece of glass. Amateur photographers who have spoiled negatives on hand can clean them in hot water and use them for this purpose by tacking a couple of cross sticks over the top of the frame to serve as rests for the small glasses. This protects your vines while the first leaves are forming, which is the time to look out for bugs. The glass, of course, must be removed to let in air and moisture at the proper times. By this method one can start much earlier than usual and be sure of protection from frost as well as bugs. To Remove Blue of Furniture Many housewives have been annoyed by the cloudy, blue-gray look which so often appears on mahogany pianos and other pieces of highly polished furniture. For removing such an appearance one woman has very successfully used a solution composed of a tablespoonful of vinegar in a quart of clear water. This applied with a cheesecloth rag, first saturated and then wrung as dry as possible. The furniture is rubbed very lightly with this and is then polished just as lightly with a dry piece of cheesecloth. If the first application is not successful it may be tried again in a week. To Keep Lettuce Fresh. By following the method given below you can always have crisp, fresh lettuce and rarely lose a leaf. As soon as it comes from the grocery plunge it into cold water. The pan must be large and deep enough to cover it entirely and give it room to swell. After about six hours wash it off under cold water; wrap it lightly in a damp towel, put it into a fruit basket—I use a grape basket without top or handle—and set it on the shelf of the refrigerator. It will keep for three or four days and be ready for use at once.—Chicago Tribune. Breakfast Dish. Take cold roast veal, left from supper, chop fine with one onion; add two tablespoons of cold oatmeal, salt and pepper to taste, roll into little cakes, slip in eggs and cracker crumbs and try in butter and lard. Serve with gravy. Avoiding Dust. Add a little kerosene to water and lampen the broom. Then sweep carpet and no dust will be raised and ar he same time the colors will be brightened.

Colorado Denver, Colo M The first illustration shows a bodice of a lawn dress, it is made on a lining to which the vest of tucked muslin and insertion is stitched. The lawn fronts are tucked on the shoulders, and are edged with two rows of embroidery. The under-sleeve is turned up below the elbow with a cuff edged with embroidery. The over-sleeve is trimmed with insertion, and is stitched on after the actual sleeve has been sewn on. The second is in pale blue zephyr, tucked on the shoulders, and trimmed each side the center box-pleat with open work embroidery insertion. The cuffs are finished with insertion, edged with pleated lace. The third garment is composed of flouncing embroidery, the plain part of the center pieces being tucked, the edge of the side embroidery being laid over the plain. The sleeves are arranged in the same way. The deep pointed collar is of plain muslin, edged with a frill of lace. Bolero in New Style Easily Made Up in Crochet Work. This useful little wrap is quite easy to make. Any kind of wool and a suitable hook (tricotter) may be used. If Andalusian and a No. 12 hook, about five ounces of wool will be required. Work a chain of 15 inches; on this chain work plain tricot for seven inches. Work off each stitch separately like double crochet for eight inches, and the remainder of the row in tricot as before. Work two more short rows of tricot like the last; on completing the last 10 row make as many chain-stitches as will bring the work to its original length. Continue working long rows as at first for 22 inches, or more if for a stout person. Work off the same number of stitches for the armholes as before, repeat the short rows and work a second front to match the first, each stitch of the last row to be worked off separately like double crochet; fasten off. Fold the fronts over, and sew or crochet the shoulder pieces together. Work a row of double crochet round the armholes, taking up the back top thread and the thread which lies immediately below it; this will counteract the tendency to curl which the tricot-stitch generally has. Last row: Work a double crochet in the first of last row, pass one, a treble in next, *, five chain, back into first, another treble in same place as last, repeat from * twice more, pass one, double crochet in next, and repeat all round. Work this last row all round the bolero, using the double crochet row for the fronts if required. The Use of Braid. There are white broadcloth costumes braided in black, but these are rather too conspicuous to be favorites with women who have but few gowns. It is thought more desirable to braid a dark costume with a light colored braid in order that the braid may be removed at some future time and the gown worn with a contrasting coat. J. D.

You might cover them with a cream made from naphtha and French chalk, allowing it to dry on for a day, and then brush off. A slight improvement from an application of common starch can be made with cold water and laid on very thick. The paste should be allowed to become quite dry, and perhaps this process might answer for your wings if they are not too much soiled. In regard to the parasol, you might get rid of the grease spot by laying on hot French chalk. This will dissolve and absorb the grease. Repeat the process if necessary. Next, the parasol should be opened and then thoroughly washed with gasoline and white soap all over its surface, more particularly on the soiled places. Afterward sponge off with clear gasoline. By going over every part of the parasol there will be no danger of spots or streaks, and gasoline will not harm it. Keep away from fire or artificial heat during this process. What Is to Be in Fashion. It is quite in keeping with other tendencies that sleeves should cease to give breadth to the shoulders, as figures must not be made to look top heavy. Whatever fullness some of them retain is restricted to that part of the arm that comes immediately below them. Milliners are even brought to book with respect to the exceeding size of their hats which, it is urged, do not suit the new mode in dresses, but as yet I see no signs of their being moved by any such arguments. Waists continue to be made more or less short, but there is no particular care taken to make them look small as with the hips. On the other hand, throats must be made to appear long and slender. Not only are collars made as close-fitting and high as possible, but they are invariably finished by a ruching of lace or net—a fashion which in the long run comes expensive as they have to be continually renewed.—The Dry Goods Guide. New Curtain Material. A new drapery material that is quite inexpensive—19 cents a yard—is extremely pretty and cool-looking. It is not unlike a fine scrim or a cotton voile as to background, and is printed in all the prettiest colorings, floral, conventional and stripes. It is called Arabian cloth, and will be charming fashioned into window curtains and other draperies required for summer use. In this material a dull ecru ground in a design of tulips is beautiful, and not less so, though more subdued, are the conventional effects in pastel tones. Tight-Fitting Petticoats New petticoats are sold for the latest sheath dresses and they are made on the circular plan, so that there will be no fullness either at hips or knees. Of course, those who wear the sheath dress most correctly wear no petticoats whatsoever, but with thin dresses such as women of America wear, at least one petticoat is a necessity, and when it is made in the tight-fitting style it does not much interfere with the set of the graceful gown.
