Money Saved by Patronizing Those Who Advertise in This Paper. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY AVENEERED DEMOCRAT A Reply to The Editorial That Appeared in The Statesman Aug. Fifteenth, by Joseph H. Stuart. VOL. XIV. A VENEER DEM A Reply to The Editor in The Statesman by Joseph We know that our exposure of how the rights of the race have been bargained and sold out during the last four years would bring to the front apologists who were among the beneficiaries of this miserable business. It is eminently proper that Mr. C. A. Franklin who perhaps received the greatest pecuniary benefit should be the first to howl. Why shouldn't he? If the Jim Crow politics that his boss inaugurated should be done away with and the right of race representation restored, as would infallibly be the case but for the itching palm of these would-be leaders, his divvie would not be very great. Mr. Editor Franklin, you cannot fight the people's battles with any effect, if you are to lay down the moment you get a chance to make a little easy money as a member of a so-called "advisory board," while the wrongs you pretended to fight are still as glaring as ever. What has come over the spirit of your dream? Why did you change front so suddenly in the campaign of 1906? Isn't it a fact that the same wrong which you so bitterly denounced in 1904 and which caused you to vote the Democratic ticket, was repeated in 1906? That which stirred your indignation to its utmost depth and made it boil over in the harshest language was the exclusion of Mr. J. W. Jackson from the ticket. In the presidential year of 1904 you voted the Democratic ticket by your own admission, for the same reason. In the issue of your paper of October 14, 1904, your editorial is introduced in a glaring headline of very large type—"Republican Party in Colorado a Delusion." After denoupeing Frank Howbert, Chairman Fairley and "other Republican bosses" you continue—"We shall not only oppose Peabody and Lilywhitism, but shall make our opposition by supporting the Adams ticket." In the course of this article the term "Lily-White Republicanism" as applied to the party occurs three distinct times in the course of your bitter invective against the party for the very shortcomings which this "leader" has been mainly responsible for. You said the state organization was "a lie and its name a delusion." In the issue of September 9, 1904, in your editorial under the headline, "Reform Must Come," you roundly abused Gov. Peabody and the whole party and claimed that of the few places the race had under the Democrats they "had taken away the watchman, the head janitor, the orderly and two janitors." Have they been restored? If not that wrong which helped to induce you to vote the Democratic --- ticket still exists. A vicious editorial of your issue of September 24, 1904, opens with the headlines in large type, "Don't Need the Negroes"—"Lily-White Republican Bosses Raise Bar Against Negroes," etc. In your open letter of same date to the presidential electors and state officers of the Republican ticket you brand the party as "Lily-White." In your editorial of September 14, 1906, under the caption, "The County Machine Wants No Negroes," after a most bitter assault on the local Republican machine for not granting J. W. Jackson a place on the legislative ticket, you continue: "Here at home the decline of the black man in politics has been rapid and sure. We could not have been more certain of the regard in which we are held if we had been told we are not wanted." Your virtuous wrath found expression in the most vituperative outburst. You accused the party of nominating a man who you said "deliberately whitewashed a murder case in which a black man was the victim and a white man the aggressor." And you concluded this hot editorial with the suggestive warning in a separate line in great big type that, "Something must be done to offset this ill-treatment." Yes, dear colored citizens, and it was done. He was placed on the "advisory board" and "got his." Since then he has been as gentle as a cooing dove and as dumb as a clam so far as the rights of the race are concerned. It was an open secret known to the white politicians in 1904 that his fight was not sinecere, that all he wanted was a little money. They asked him his price. He told them. They laughed at him because they knew he couldn't do any harm. And so he was permitted to shoot blank cartridges from an old blunderbus at an invulnerable object far beyond range, to his heart's content. The spectacle was a pitiful one, and he realized it. But he had learned his first lesson in practical politics. He had learned that white politicians are very wise in their generation and will not be held up; that they generally size up a man for what he is worth and deal with him accordingly. With this precious knowledge locked securely in his mind he made a bluff at the commencement of the campaign of 1906 of making war on the party on account of the same shortcomings, now emphasized by repetition. Oh, but he speedily quits and gets himself appointed on the "advisory committee." His demand was not very big this time. He had not forgotten the lesson he had learned in political adversity. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908. His motto now was, "Half loaf is better than no bread." And so they doled him out only $——. Well, that is some information I shall reserve for another occasion. But it was enough to make him be good. You know it don't take much after all. "Poor preach poor pay." Anyway, right then and there this champion of the rights of the race quitted. He lay down because he got his prize. He had received his part of the fund to round up the Negroes and make them vote right. And so this modern Saul of Tarsus having now seen a great light no longer continued to breathe threatenings and slaughter against the party. He is now converted. Accordingly on October 5, 1906, his malignant denunciations of the party for the first time in two years give place to praise of itself and nominees. His wounds were soothed. The wrongs of the race had been avenged. It had come into its own. That race was No. 1, known as C. A. Franklin, editor. But in his gratuitous three column editorial attack on me so solicitious is he that he must not be regarded as only a veneered Democrat and no Republican at all, he says, "But certainly Colorado Republicans do not deserve to be called "Lily-Whites," nor do they "Jim Crow" Negroes." Who called them "Lily-Whites?" Why this same editor is the only man in Colorado that ever called the party by that name. His editorials and open letter when he was fighting the party to make it "cough up" are replete with this epithet, as I have quoted and shown above. He stigmatized the party's methods toward the race as "Jim Crow" in 1904 when McCants Stewart of Honolulu came here to speak and had to be persuaded to do so by the writer, because he refused on account of the segregation this "leader" had inaugurated. How a little gold not only warps the conscience but produces unaccountable lapses of memory! It is no lapse of memory, however. He thinks people have forgotten. He has now learned another lesson in practical politics, viz., that the evil record of a mercenary politician confronts him when he least thinks of it. In my article on Bogus Leadership, I merely asked the question whether the party had become "Lily-White," and answered it in the negative, giving good reasons. But I showed that "our leader" was trying to fix that stigma on it by his methods. And I now repeat that he and you, Mr. Editor Franklin, on account of your greed for money are introducing Jim Crow politics in this state, unknown before your pernicious activity. You are an authority on what "Jim Crowism" is. You rebuked it in 1904. You indorsed it in 1906 because it paid you. You want it in 1908 because it will bring you a little more money unearned. And thus the people's rights are compromised by two cheap politicians. Oh, but it is a waste of time and space further to trace the political career of our friend through its sinuous course. This is a diversion from my purpose in writing these articles. I again renew my questions to Mr. J. W. Jackson, "the leader." First. Why is it that for twenty years when we had no leader the race was always accorded a position on the legislative ticket, but the moment you assumed a bogus leadership during the past four years that right has been denied and ceased? Second. Why, although you were the only candidate two and four years ago, you were egnominously defeated? Your race is eagerly awaiting your answer to these questions. The white Republicans who always conceded us that place, and once a constable to boot, would also be greatly interested in your answer. Will you kindly oblige us with a timely answer? RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Philadelphia, August 12.—Mme. E. Azalia Hackley is making preparations for a musical festival which she will give in this city on the evening of October 22, at the Academy of Music. Over 250 voices are to be used in the festival, which is to be presented with a view to encouraging the serious study of music among the colored youth. Ernest Hogan, who is on a farm in New Jersey, is much improved in health. Sunday he spent the best day since he became suddenly ill at the Fourteenth Street Theatre while playing last January. With him are his mother, Mrs. Louise Crowdus; his brother, Mr. Bud Crowdus, of Racine, Wis. and his niece, Miss Maggie Warefield. Mr. Isaac Hathaway, the talented Kentucky sculptor, is engaged modeling a number of lifelike busts of Dr. Booker T. Washington, which he will place on the market at an early date. The facial expression is said to be perfect, and the admirers of "The Wizard" here and elsewhere will eagerly seize the opportunity to decorate their homes with such a desirable work of art, as well as a reminder of the man and his massive institution. --- Mrs. A. A. Bowie, president of the Baptist Woman's Convention of Alabama, was brutally beaten by a white man in Montgomery, Ala., a short time ago, because, as he claimed, she entered a street car ahead of his wife. Mrs. Bowie appealed to a policeman, who, instead of protecting her, placed her under arrest for disorderly conduct, and upon presentation to a trial justice, she was convicted and fined. If this is a sample of Alabama justice, there is no wander the tide of emigration to the North and West is growing stronger every day. Guthrie, Aug. 12—Hon. B. F. Garrett was nominated by the Republicans for the legislature in the third district of Logan county ov- er another Negro and one white man by fifty plurality, and his election is a foregone conclusion as his district is safely Republican. No doubt Mr. Garrett will be the only man of color to hold down a seat at the opening of the second legislative session of Oklahoma. And he justly deserves it as no one man in the State of Oklahoma has done more for the Republican party than Garrett. We congratulate the far seeing voters of his district for putting up a man that is sure to win. We also congratulate the nominee.—Oklahoma Tribune. Chicago, August 16.—Five hundred members of the congregation of Quinn chapel, one of the leading Negro churches in this city, were told by their pastor, Rev. D. P. Roberts, today to arm themselves and be prepared to defend their homes in the event of an outbreak here similar to that at Springfield. "Arm yourselves and be men," he said. "If a raging mob surrounds your homes protect your household; and when the man who would ruin your family and destroy your property steps accross the threshold let him step accross the body of a dead man." He declared that America is a cowardly nation, which, with power to defy the world, refuses to grant protection to innocent and defenseless people 40 years removed from slavery because of the color. Talks with the congregation indicated that the Negroes fear an outbreak in Chicago and are preparing for it. The chief of police, however, declare that the chance of a race war here is remote. --- At the closing recital of the Yale School of Music in New Haven, Conn., held in the great Woolsley Hall, where nearly 3,000 people had assembled, the Lockwood scholarship for singing was awarded to Miss Effie Ella Grant, the accomplished daughter of one of Connecticut's most progressive colored citizens. Miss Grant is a young woman of modest demeanor, who has won her way to the front by hard and conscientious work, and she has made herself a favorite among the best circles of Yale-dom by her superior culture, which color could not obscure. It is understood that she will prepare herself for a career as a teacher of classic music, for which she has a pronounced taste. Whether it is singing, teaching, spelling, talking, fighting, dancing, running, cycling acting wrestling or writing, a Negro is invariably found in the front row. Trusts Control Burma. Burma is controlled by trusts. There are two transportation lines which always keep in reserve 5 per cent. of the importer's last six months' business, which is liable to forfeiture if an independent shipment is received. NO. 48. SPRINGFIELD RIOT. Springfield, Ill., is a calamity. An exhibition of barbaric frenzy never before equaled in the history of this nation. Murder, arson, and riot bidding defiance to the national, state and municipal governments. Four thousand soldiers incapable of preserving order and protecting life. Oh! piteous spectacle. It is passing strange that on the eve of one of the most momentous political struggles that there should be such exceptional activity among the lynchers, white-cappers and criminal assaults. No one condones crime, be it the perpetrator of the unspeakable offense and the equally guilty rioter who would presume to take the law in his own hands. And what a travesty on justice. The great body of American people have come to regard the crime of rape as a matter of course; one of the many social evils, we must meet and conquer. The Colorado Negroes takes a very serious view of the awful spectacle at Springfield and other places. The frequency of the riot and lynching, and the growing boldness of the mob, strikes us as a menace to good government. These erimes seem to be the work of the idle and the vicious. Men who work have no time to assault helpless women and innocent children. The better class of white and blacks owe it to themselves and the community to keep the bum element of both races busy or on the move. If they will not work, they must go. This is the remedy. It was the idle and vicious elements that has made Springfield a synonym for beastly ferocity. The good citizens of Illinois have a duty to perform. It is up to them to wipe out the awful stigma of Springfield. Let the Negro ravisher be arrested and go before the court and no one will say he will escape punishment. ELK FACTIONS ARE REUNITED.

The new army portable wireless telegraph kits, perfected last winter, have just been given their first tests in the Northwest at Camp David S. Stanley, where the regular army and the National Guards of Washington and Oregon are holding their annual field maneuvers. Messages were picked up from a number of wireless stations on Puget sound. Instead of using a telescope pole to carry the radiating and receiving wires in the air, two huge kites were sent up, to which the wires connecting with the instruments were attached. The cruiser Colorado, which went on the rocks at Double Bluff, Puget sound, Saturday, was more seriously damaged than at first was supposed. An examination at the Bremerton navy yard showed that her forward plates were badly dented in several places and that the plates were sprung. It will be necessary to put the vessel in dry dock for perhaps thirty days to make repairs. The Colorado will be unable to join the Pacific fleet on its cruise to the Samoan islands, but it is expected she will join it probably on the return trip from the Samoan islands to Honolulu.

Unfortunately it was somewhat injured in landing, so as to require several days for repairs. Boston and eastern Massachusetts is undergoing a "crime wave." Half a dozen murder mysteries are still unsolved by the police. The undeniable wave of crime is credited to the fact that many foreigners are out of work and are attempting to adopt the methods of European banditti.

On the 18th inst. after three signal corps officers, Lieutenants Lahm, Polcuis and Selfridge, had made eight trips in the airship, General James Allen, chief signal officer, informed Captain Baldwin that having fulfilled his contract he could turn over the balloon at any time. This was done after Captain Baldwin had trained three officers of the Signal Corps to handle the craft to General Allen's satisfaction. An aerial squadron or fleet of airship scouts for the United States army is projected by General Allen, chief of the signal office, and his aides. Congress will be asked for an appropriation of $1,000,000 to start this branch of the service. The Baldwin airship at Fort Myer Saturday night made a flight which broke all records for airships in this country. For two hours and five minutes the big military dirigible built for the United States army, flew back and forth over a course nearly five miles in length in the official endurance trial. JOHN A.JOHNSON RENOMINATED DEMOCRATS OF MINNESOTA RE FUSE TO HEED HIS MANY DECLINATIONS. CHEER OVER AN HOUR GOVERNOR WITHHOLDS STATEMENT UNTIL AFTER HE IS OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED. Minneapolis, Minn.—Gov. John A. Johnson was renominated for governor by the Democratic state convention Wednesday. Following the mention of his name by Mayor Lawler of St. Paul, the convention stamped for Johnson. A wild demonstration lasting for an hour ensued. Standards were waved and the delegates, headed by a brass band, marched through the hall. A messenger was sent to notify the governor by telephone. The return of the messenger was awaited with suspense, as the governor previously had stated emphatically that he would not run again. The convention, however, persisted in ignoring the declaration. As an evidence of the almost unanimity of feeling for Johnson, the hall was conspicuously decorated with Johnson portraits and during the excitement these were torn down and waved by both spectators and delegates. The demonstration continued for sixty-four minutes. At the first mention of Governor Johnson's name the delegates forgot his repeatedly expressed objection to be considered and went into a frenzy of enthusiasm. The aisles and stage were quickly filled with delegates yelling like Indians and executing war dances upon the press tables, all the while repeating the name "Johnson." Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes passed and there was no lull in the tumultuous scene. A huge photograph of Governor Johnson was seized from its place on the platform and borne aloft by a delegate. Meanwhile the band had struck up "Marching Through Georgia," and quickly following in line with county banners waving wildly a procession was formed which many times encircled the hall. Banners were forced into the hands of ladies among the spectators on the platform and they were forced to join the yelling throng. But only because there is a limit to exertion of lung and limb did the demonstration gradually subside. Owing to the unsettled condition of the minds of the delegates at the opening of the convention regarding the entire ticket it was decided that a committee to be composed of one member from each judicial district make recommendations for the filling of all places on the ticket except that of governor. The following recommendations were made by this committee and adopted by the convention: Lieutenant governor, Julius J. Reiter of Rochester; secretary of state, Richard T. Lamb of Clayton; state treasurer, Henry P. Nelson of Hobbing; attorney general, M. G. Matthews of Marshall, railway and warehouse commissioner, Hans P. Bjorge of Ottertall county and Robert Nee of Rice county. State Senator Ray G. Farrington of Ortonville was temporary chairman. He said: "The platform of the Republican nominee for governor in this state, like that of Taft, means absolutely nothing. The only argument he has is to lay the extravagances of a Republican House and Senate to a Democratic governor. He eats pie with a knife and beef steak with his fingers." When asked if he would accept the nomination, Governor Johnson said: "I have not been officially notified of my nomination, so have nothing to say." Life Insurance Convention Denver.—With an able address, in which he foreshadowed the ultimate adoption of a campaign of publicity by insurance men, and in which he decried the inclination of laymen to rush into insurance legislation about which they know nothing. President B. H. Robison opened the real business of the American Life convention Wednesday morning at the Albany hotel. Drastic legislation in regard to taxation as well as to the technicalities of the business, generally conducted by "legislators honest in their intentions but lacking requisite knowledge of the subject," was thoroughly discussed by Mr. Robison, and at the same time the necessity for sane, conservative action on the part of company managers and officials was not neglected. Springfield Still Terrorized Springfield, Ill.—Fear and terror prevailed in the homes of Springfield negroes Wednesday night. The departure of two regiments of infantry and the announcement that two more organizations will be sent home caused consternation among the colored residents. Scores of the terror-stricken blacks sought refuge in the arsenal. Early in the evening almost twice as many applications for shelter had been received there as on previous nights, and about 300 negroes curled up in the corners of the balcony, sleeping or the floor or in chairs. Atlantic Fleet Reaches Sydney Sydney, N. S. W.—Early Wednesday morning a thin veil of smoke on the horizon signaled to the watchers on the coast the approach of the American warships, and at 5:35 official notification was sent out that the fleet had been sighted.

In perfect alignment, the flagship Connecticut leading, with Rear Admiral Sperry on the bridge, the warships came out of the horizon, first a little smoke showing and then the hulls, low down in the distance. A hundred thousand people witnessed their arrival. STATE NEWS ITEMS Pumpkin Pie Day at Longmont on Thursday, the 13th was a great success. The attendance was larger than ever before.

The Odd Fellows have been guaranteed $5,000, the American Bankers' Association, which meets next month, $1,000, and the Interstate Trap Shooters' Association, $1,000. The two-year-old boy of Eugenio Vasquez, residing eight miles south of Trinidad, was bitten by a rattlesnake a few days ago while playing in the yard. The mother saw the snake, but gave her attention to the child, tied a handkerchief around the boy's leg above the wound to stop circulation and hastened with him to town. The Hawkeye-Centennial Association, consisting of all Colorado residents who are natives of Iowa, has been reorganized at Colorado Springs with the election of A. B. Waterman as president. The annual picnic will be given in Stratton park shortly. LAND SALES AT FORT GARLAND RIO GRANDE OFFICIALS SEE IN THEM NUCLEUS OF THRIVING COMMUNITY. HALF OF TRACT SOLD SIX HUNDRED PEOPLE WILL RE- MAIN TO BEGIN WORK ON IMPROVEMENTS. Denver.—The Republican Wednesday morning says: With 600 of the new land holders at Fort Garland remaining on their newly-acquired holdings, the nucleus for a fine farming community has been established already and it appears that the plan of the San Luis Valley Land Company has succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations. At the conclusion of the distribution Tuesday night over one-half of the land had been disposed of and there seemed to prevail a universal feeling of satisfaction with the results. Upon securing their allotment of land, the holders would go to take a look at it, and, having satisfied themselves of its character, they would return to Fort Garland and begin their operations for the future. Monday night 200 of the new land holders left for their homes in the states east of Colorado and Tuesday night 200 more followed. Over 600 have made up their minds to remain and begin work on their land at once, and this is regarded as a matter for self-congratulation by the people who are interested in the future of the valley. "If only 200 would remain it would be the nucleus for a fine farming community," said Maj. S. K. Hooper, general passenger agent of the Denver & Rio Grande, "and with 600 staying, the new district has a fine start already. There people will build at once and begin working their new land, I hear, which is an indication of the kind of workers they are." "All of the settlers that I saw were of an exceptionally desirable character," added F. A. Wadleigh, assistant general passenger agent, who was at Fort Garland during the drawing. There wasn't a saloon nor a gambling house in that whole tent city, and the farmers who were there to get land seemed to be a serious minded, business like class of men. They spent considerable time looking over other parts of the valley, and I understand that there were several large tracts purchased by the visitors quite outside of the land secured in the allotment by the company. "We ran special trains out of Fort Garland to carry the visitors to the cowboy sports at Alamosa, and they also took trips to other towns in the best farming districts of that part of the state. "What delay and doubt there was concerning the distribution of land was not nearly so bad on the grounds as it was made out to be in the papers here. The three trustees who had been appointed to take charge of the land and supervise its distribution refused to act until they had secured legal advice. This was only natural and the delay which followed was due to a complication of setbacks in securing the man that was wanted. As soon as an attorney was secured the distribution proceeded in perfect harmony and has turned out most satisfactorily." Will Ship via Moffat Road. Cheyenne, Wyo—Ora Haley, a prominent Wyoming and Routt county, Colorado, cattleman, says: "The Moffat road will be at Yampa within thirty days, and thenceforward will control this year's cattle shipments from the great Bear river valley, which will probably aggregate 45,000 head, mostly four and five-year-old steers. "Such cattle shipments will reach Denver in eight hours, and Ellis, Kansas, in twenty-four hours. "From Denver, shipments will be made to Omaha, while from Ellis the cattle will reach Kansas City or St. Joseph with only one unloading for feed and water, at Ellis." Mr. Haley says that Routt county is looking for an early building of a Rio Grande branch from Wolcott into the Bear River Valley coal fields and stock ranges, the branch to be from seventy to eighty-five miles long, with Oak Creek or Craig as the terminal. Governor Buchtel's Pardons. Denver.—A Canon City dispatch says: Governor Buchtel has pardoned twenty-four men since he went into office in December, 1906. Governor McDonald pardoned twenty-two men from December 30, 1904, to November 30, 1906. Governor Peabody issued twenty-four pardons in two years, Governor Orman pardoned twenty-six, Governor Thomas pardoned twenty-three. Alva Adams, from December 30, 1896, to November, 1898, pardoned thirty, and Governor Mcntyre issued pardons to fifty men from December 30, 1894, to November 30, 1896. The records show that Buchtel's pardons have been issued at the instance of the State Board of Pardons and to men serving short terms. Glenwood Springs has voted bonds for a public school gymnasium. The state of Colorado has a surplus in cash. After paying all outstanding warrants for 1907, including the $36,000 back indebtedness of the School of Mines, the state auditor's office finds that there are in round figures $40,000 to the good. By the end of the fiscal period of two years the surplus will be considerably increased. The sixth annual convention of the American Press Humorists will be held in Denver August 24th to 29th. A large number of the real, or alleged, funny writers of the leading newspapers of the country are expected to be present. Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and credible standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug-gists.

Forgie, of Leesburg, Va., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I want other suffering women to know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. For months I suffered from feminine ills so that I thought I could not live. I wrote you, and after taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and using the treatment you prescribed I felt like a new woman. I am now strong, and well as ever, and thank you for the good you have done me." 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.

FAMILY TRADE A SPECIALTY Denver, Cola For the Hostess FOR THE VERANDA TABLE With the hot-weather season the veranda, having the advantages of both the indoors and outdoors, comes in for much service, and on this account some attention should be paid to its furnishing. For the furniture of the veranda one of the best materials is the light and summery wicker. The main difficulty in choosing the material is the ugleness of so many of the styles shown in the shops. Probably more ugly furniture is made of reed and wicker than of any other medium. There are certain shapes to be found, however, that are good in design as well as comfortable. Many of the most attractive foreign models are being duplicated in this country in the less expensive grade, and there are also dignified native designs, showing that good taste and simplicity can be obtained in this kind of furniture. In these models the less complicated system of weaving and the metal-tipped foot are used in place of the tortuous curls and braids and the bulbous foot. Two attractive wicker pieces are shown in the drawing—a settee and a table—both of excellent design. The wicker furniture must be simple and agreeable in outline, and with its cushioned seats is very comfortable. A long seat or bench placed along the wall is very comfortable if well provided with pillows, or a swinging seat or hammock may be substituted. Flower boxes give an opportunity for a brilliant massing of color, and the flowers should be selected with regard to their coloring. Porch Parties. These August days demand strictly outdoor functions, if entertainments given in this manner may be called by that formal name. Instead of having the customary method of conducting a fish party by guessing the names written on slips of paper, a hostess did this at a recent party: There was a large rug on the piazza supposed to represent the sea. It was covered with stiff paper fish folded slightly through the middle. There was a brass ring in the head and the name of the fish was written underneath. Each guest was given a small hook and line, and each one was given the name of a fish. There was "Miss Cod," "Mr. Shark," etc. There was a time limit, and each person could retain only the fish bearing his or her name; all others had to be returned to the water in good condition. There was the jolliest kind of a time. This is a fine scheme for children, and a globe of gold fish might be one prize. The following game is not exactly new, for there have been flower contests galore, but this list is an unusually good one. Here are the questions and answers: 1. Tell a bird to get up in the morning. 2. What flower is most precise? 3. Tell a little boy to cry, using his name. 4. A sweet, and another name for patch. 5. A rich man. 6. The Scotch word for "inability." 7. A means of transportation and a kind of people. 8. A bird and an aid to a rider. 9. What might a certain domestic animal do in winter? 10. A wild animal and part of a lady's wearing apparel. 11. A word of farewell. 12. A Christmas decoration and a German word. 13. What foreign nobleman like to do. 14. A flower with a commercial value. 15. What might a man say to his sweetheart in a fog? The answers are: 1, wakerobin; 2, primrose; 3, balsam; 4, candytuft; 5,aster; 6, canna; 7, carnation; 8, lark-spur; 9, cowslip; 10, foxglove; 11, forget-me-not; 12, hollyhock; 13, marigold; 14, stocks; 15, love-in-a-mist. Flowers in pots, Japanese ferns (they need no water), or flower-shaped pins are all appropriate for prizes. A Beverage Contest. This beverage contest was arranged as a "mixer" at the beginning of an evening at which there were many strangers present. The programs were in shape of old-fashioned goblets, and the prizes were a medicine glass with markings showing teaspoon, tablespoon, ounce, etc., and a traveling glass in a leather case. Tea, coffee, cocoa (these all ice), punch and "sundaes" were served with a variety of small cakes and wafers. The questions are given below with answers: For the cowboy—brandy. The floorwalker—cordial. The drummer—seltzer. The poultryman—cocktail. The consumptive—coffee. The prize fighter—punch. The financier—mint julep. The fat man—stout. The hypochondriac—champagne. The lumberman—sauterne. The invalid—ale. The preacher—Sundae. The shoemaker—cobler. The undertaker—beer. The wife-beater—liqueur. The promoter—water. Second Wedding Anniversary. The paper wedding marks the second year of wedded life, and it may be made a very pretty affair. Paper is so decorative when used with artistic skill. There is almost no limit to the possibilities of decoration. The invitations are issued in the usual way with the date of the original wedding Choose whatever color is desired, then make shades for all the gas jets and lamps, cover flower pots and jardinieres and make portieres and draperies of three-inch strips of crepe paper. Fancy Japanese parasols, fans, doilies and wall-panels may be used with good effect; also paper napkins and table covers. Use paper flowers as garlands and bouquets. Paper cases for holding bonbons, ices and salads, and even the tumblers may be covered with dainty frills of paper. For favors, the largest size snap ping motto caps are appropriate and decorative. Pile them in the center of the table, attached to ribbons to be drawn out by the guests. If the host and hostess, as well as the guests, are attired in garments of paper so much the merrier. If this can be carried out pass booklets in which will be written down what character each one is supposed to represent. A prize of paper may be awarded. The shops are so full of paper novelties that the hostess will be able to give each one a souvenir. One hostess on this occasion made darling little baskets by braiding crepe paper and placed a tiny fern in each one. Making hats out of crepe paper is a good stunt for a party of this kind. A Practical Shower. A prospective autumn bride has just been the recipient of a "shower" that was not only very acceptable, but did not tax the pocketbooks of the guests, which, I assure you, is quite an important item in these days of elaborate and costly affairs that often precede weddings. The guests, who were all close friends of the bride-to-be, were each asked to bring a "jar" or "glass" of "something" as best suited their convenience. "Thimbles" was also written on the card. So all came prepared to sew. The hostess had provided materials for all sorts of kitchen towels and dust cloths, which were all hemmed and in neat piles by the time refreshments were served. Besides home-made jellies, marmalades, cans of fruit, pickles of all kinds, there was a jar or two of imported ginger, and even peanut butter. The contributions for the emergency shelf were presented in the dining room at the table and caused much amusement, as nearly every article was accompanied by the recipe, a merry jingle, or a terse bit of advice. MADAME MERRI A Silver Watch-Holder A new wrinkle for the toilet table is the watch-holder, made like a picture frame. It is of sterling silver and the watch fits into the opening, where it is clamped into place, so, when the watch is not in use by the woman herself, there is a pretty and useful clock on the dresser.

Can by No Means Be Regarded as an Incidental of Life. Most people have the impression that fun and humor are life incidentals, not necessities; that they are luxuries and have no great bearing upon one's career. Many think of fun as frivolous, indicating lack of serious purpose in life. There are parents who rebuke their children because they want to have fun and go in for a good time. These parents have yet to learn the great part which fun and humor play in the physical economy, and their influence on the life. What a complete revolution in your whole physical and mental being comes after seeing a really funny play! You went to the play tired, jaded, wornout, discouraged. All your mental faculties were clogged with brain ash; you could not think clearly. When you came home you were a new being—Success Magazine. Cherries in England. It is still asserted in schoolbooks that cherries were introduced to this country by the "fruiterer" or green-grocer of Henry VIII; also that they were not common for a hundred years after that time. It is a surprising error. Mr. Thomas Wright found the name in every one of Anglo-Saxon vocabularies which he edited. So common were they, and so highly esteemed, that the time for gathering them become a recognized festival—"cherry fair" or "feast."—London Cornmill Magazine. Maximilian and "La Paloma."

And Maximilian's final request was that "La Paloma" should be played while he stood up to meet his doom. He died with the tune in his ears—the courage in his face—and his wife went mad with the shock nearly 40 years ago. 1519 CURTIS STREET Ice Cream, Ices, Candies H. L. KORTZ, . Expert Watchmake, . .

We pass the question up to those Republican managers who have taken it upon themselves to select a “leader” for the colored people. Mr. Bryan is a scientific coiner of “pat” phrases and he often adds an item to the vocabulary of those who are not of his household; and “every little bit added to what you've got, makes it a little bit more.” Speak up, Colorado Republicans! Shall the people rule? THE MOB IN ILLINOIS The terrible scenes of rioting and mob violence transpiring last week at Springfield, Ill., the old home of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, and within sight of the monument erected to his memory, furnish convincing proof that America's great social crime has no direct connection with the political life of the country. Although the majority of such happenings have been in the South, the bourbon section has furnished no worse example than this one right in the heart of the north, and a Republican state administration dealt with a desperate situation no more emphatically or successfully than did a Democratic administration in Georgia. It is plain that such outbreaks are the sudden and violent expressions of a latent hatred of the Negro nursed by a large portion of the caucasian population, and held in check only by that greater community interest founded upon public order and the honor of the state. That property owners are not largely represented in these mobs is evidenced by the mob's readiness to destroy the property even of white men who oppose them, as well as their wanton destruction of the property of innocent Negroes. Of course, the beastly crimes of depraved Negroes are at the bottom of the mob's wild acts, but this fact neither excuses nor justifies the unmeasured reprisals of these hate-driven avengers. In this last instance, the Negroes whose crimes started the trouble are left unharmed, while a half-dozen other men's lives have been sacrificed with thousands of dollars worth of property. No better evidence is needed to show that mob membership is undeserving of one moment's official toleration. Not to save the Negro criminal's life should the mob be opposed and put down without parlance or mercy, but to preserve the integrity of the community and the peace and honor of the state, and to vindicate established law and the accepted forms of government. The country has had enough experience to readily shape the course of law officers in any community in such emergencies. At the very beginning of the formation of a mob, every officer charged with the keeping of the peace should commence to shoot with low aim. Drastic resistance to every mob is an absolute necessity. The Florida sheriff who took this course furnished a good example. When it becomes known that this official course will be pursued, mobs will cease to form. Troops would seldom be necessary if local peace officers performed their necessary duties promptly. It is time that the lesson were well learned. Depraved Negro criminals are sure to get their just deserts. Every mob seeking blood vengeance should just as surely get its leader check. SUPERINTENDENTS OF THE EARTH. The white nations of the world are beginning to worry over what the future policy of Japan toward China is going to be. Evidence is accumulating which indicates that the island nation is following a set purpose in the gradual establishment of influences and the building up of new relations with the Celestials which may eventually bring all Asia under Japanese control. Although the white nations do not intend to relinquish one lot of their own control over their numerous dependencies, including peoples of nearly all colors and nationalities, they are quite as stubbornly opposed to any attempt or thought on the part of any other branch of the human family to increase its own area of world influence in any degree which shall correspond with Caucasian usage. It is probably correctly assumed that China will not want to see its great empire yield to Japanese absorption, and because such a consumption would inflict an extreme limitation, and possibly complete extinction, upon the present important volume of Caucasian commercial influence in the Orient, it is suggested that the United States enter into an alliance with China which will put a thorough check on Japan's aggressive ambitions in this direction. It is not yet clearly apparent that China is destined to submit to either one of these transformations, but if one or the other becomes necessary, it is all conjecture as to which fate would appear to promise the greater welfare and honor to the Chinese people. Caucasian domination of other races may secure peace and tranquil government for those subject races, but it also effectually effaces national growth. The domination of one people by another closely related to it, is not attended by any such tragic sacrifice. The relations of the people of Great Britain and those of Ireland are not the same as those of the people of Great Britain and the people of India. The great races of the earth gravitate toward the final supremacy of their own in that division of the earth over which God gave them dominion. Neither the selfishness or greed of those who dominate the changing seasons of a subject nation's history can entirely efface Nature's redeeming qualifications. Strong races may subdue or subjugate weaker ones, but, in the final run, China will be saved to the Chinese, India to the Indians and Africa to the Africans, and unto that equitable adjustment, Caucasia will do well to shape her higher and nobler aims. By HON. ROBERT LUCE. Member of Massachusetts Legislature. ABBATH observance is a phase of the manners and customs of a people. That is to say, it is the conduct the mass of the people deem most suited to the common welfare. Different peoples have different views of it, and the views of any one people change from time to time as the conditions of life change. Since New England was colonized, its people have deemed quiet, rest from ordinary occupation, better dress and better food to be advantageous characteristics of Sunday. To get quiet and rest they have by the force of custom and public sentiment compelled the rebellious few to abstain from trade, industry, and noisy amusement Writ- ten law has been merely an aid to the enforcement of custom. Custom is based on popular instinct. In this particular matter our New England instinct is approved by hygienic experts, who here as in all parts of the civilized world say that health demands rest from ordinary occupation one day in seven. But the belief is not now general that rest necessarily means idleness or stagnation. Rest can also be secured by change of activity. What kind of rest will on Sunday most meet the need of any given individual depends in each case on individual circumstances. The man who has passed the week out of doors can on Sunday rest most indoors. The man who has been under a roof all the week may get on Sunday the most useful change in the open. The man who earns his living with his muscles may wisely rest them on Sunday and exercise his head. The brain-worker may wisely use his body on Sunday. Since bodily activity during the week is the lot of the great mass of mankind, it is the natural thing that Sunday shall for most men be most wisely a day of brain activity—reading, talking, listening. And as we rank brain activity higher than muscle activity, we have come to believe Sunday occupations should be elevating and refining. Instinctively, therefore, we as a people frown on Sunday recreation that is mere amusement or pastime, not because it is harmful, but because it is not helpful. We feel that Sunday should make us better, whether in body or mind or soul. Attendance on divine worship conduces to this, and so the church centuries ago sanctified the Sabbath. It was not in its origin essentially a holy day. The commandment made it a rest day, and said nothing about worship. The ordinances of religion now claim some of its hours, and they who yield to the claim do well. In New England the church also secures general acceptance of its view that the other hours of the day shall be marked by quiet, peace, decorum, absence of toil or tumult. So long as the great body of the people ask and expect that such shall be the features of the day, the few have no right to affront the opinions and offend the sentiments of the many by conduct thereto repugnant. What each man shall do in private is his concern. In public he must conform to the will of the community if social order is to prevail. The rightful uses of Sunday, therefore, seem to me those that bring rest to a man according to his peculiar need, that make him somehow better, and that are not inconsistent with the customs of the community in which he dwells. Worry Leads to Consumption By HAYDN BROWN, L. R. C. P. Edinburgh, F. R. S. M. And by no means all have a family history of consumption. We used to consider consumption a strongly hereditary disease. We are mistaken. If anything is hereditarily induced, it is the circumstances, the conditions and modes of living. These will lead to imitated habits and prejudicial predilections by generation after generation. Mental trouble (or worry, or unhappiness—call it what you will) is, therefore, one of the chief causes of consumption, leading-as it does to physical loss of tone. And it effects this chiefly by depreciating the digestive powers. All cases of consumption produce a history of some amount of indigestion or dyspepsia. Very often it is merely a want of cheerful change from monotonous and wearying routine that has reduced the general vigor of the system. Hence a good holiday once or twice a year is health-preserving, and will many a time save those who are just on the verge of being stricken with some specific disease. Improper food is another fruitful cause of consumption, as may well be understood—food which does not properly sustain. This probably ranks about equally with impure air as a factor of considerable importance, each, however, being less powerful than mental or nervous depression as a causation; but both bad food and air may lead to depression of spirits and loss of appetite, and therefore act as primary causations. Thus any one or more influences may lead to other secondary ones, and it may often be very difficult to tell which has operated before the other and what proportion each bears to the other. Occasionally one sees cases of consumption among stalwart framed men who have lived under the healthiest possible conditions so far as food, air, and exercise have been concerned, which would be hard to explain but for the history that there had been domestic infelicity, money trouble, or prolonged mental worry of some sort. It follows, naturally, that the nature cure of consumption (improperly called "open air"), as a treatment prescribed by medical advisers and carried out in sanatoria, both at home and abroad, depends upon what it costs, to a great extent, for its efficacy. Very many who have not derived full advantage from sanatorium life—even early cases—and who have got worse instead of better, have been continuously worried by financial difficulties. Formerly earning their living, now doing nothing, dependent on friends, not knowing what will be done in the future—these are the circumstances and ideas that will depress the spirits and prove antagonistic to such renovation as Nature would work if the mind were all the time serene and satisfied. S Observance of the Day of Rest If I were to say that the commonest cause of consumption is worry, I should be far more scientifically correct than if I mentioned vitiated atmosphere. The latter rather helps, among other things, to cause first a physically, then a mentally depressed state; again, mental depression is one of the greatest causes of physical loss of tone, which in turn invites tubercle bacilli to take root and multiply rapidly. Ninety out of every hundred consumptives give a history of some sort of worry or unhappiness. Only a comparatively small percentage ever complain of having lived in an impure atmosphere.

Mix well, then add two and two-thirds cupfuls of flour that has been slightly warmed. Beat well. Dissolve one-third of a compressed yeast cake in two tablespoonfuls of lukewarm milk and add to the water with two tablespoonfuls of softened butter. Knead thoroughly in the bowl, manipulating with hands and spoon until the dough feels elastic and velvety. Cover and stand in a warm place for about five hours, or until it has doubled in bulk, then turn on a floured board and roll into a sheet about half an inch thick. Place on a greased tin spread with butter, sprinkle lightly with sugar, then arrange closely over the top enough overlapping slices of apple to cover. Wipe over with butter, sprinkle with sugar and plenty of nutmeg or cinnamon. Cover with a light cloth and set aside for 20 minutes or until quite light, then bake in a hot oven. As soon as done brush lightly with cold water to prevent the kuchen becoming too dry. Miss Jessie Wallace of Colorado Springs was in the city last week, the guest of Miss Viola Badger and Miss Mildred Johnson.

"I'm distracted," said the young housekeeper. "After wearing myself to a frazzle in housecleaning time, trying to rout moths, I find they have gotten into my storeroom closet." "Your fight was not scientific enough," laughed the older woman. "What did you do? Stick a little camphor or moth balls around and think your duty done? The wily moth needs much more strenuous remedies. "Don't look so disconsolate, child, your winter wardrobe is not eaten yet. Have one rousing moth fight according to my prescription and you can hang out a flag of truce till frost comes." "Mix gasoline, gum camphor and turpentine together in the proportion of an ounce and a half of camphor and a quarter of a pint of turpentine to every quart of gasoline. "Crush the camphor well before mixing and put the mixture into a tightly-corked jug or bottle for over night. Shake well before using. "To-morrow bright and early take out all the clothes in your room and have them thoroughly brushed and beaten, burning the dust. Then put your moth mixture into a syringe and spray everything in sight. It will do no damage even to your woodwork or bedding if you happen to have any stored in there, so drench everything well. "Shut up the room over night, putting a cloth along the cracks of the door, just as if disinfecting. The next day open and air the room and sweep and dust again. "If you think any of the things done up in boxes are affected, they should be taken out, brushed and put back with fresh lumps of camphor after the boxes have been washed inside and out with the gasoline compound. "I have used this remedy for years. In one house where the moths had taken possession, I did each room in turn in mid-July and never had further trouble. "Be sure to shut the room for 24 hours and never have a light in it until the odor has disappeared or a bad fire may result." PRACTICAL HINTS for the HOUSEWIFE In sewing in sleeves, instead of binding the seams use the French seam. It is much neater and quickly done. To keep a pencil drawing from blurring dip it gently in quite fresh milk and dry on a smooth, hard surface, face up. Turn hot water cans upside down each time after using. It is the drop of water left that causes rust, and that is soon followed by a hole. Handkerchief corners will meet more exactly if the handkerchiefs are folded with the first crease on a line with the width wide threads of the linen. If, when boiling ham, you add for each gallon of water a teacup of vinegar and six or eight cloves the flavor will be much improved. Always let a ham cool in the water in which it is boiled and it will keep deliciously moist and nice. Nickel plating may be cleaned with water and whiting or with water and alcohol as easily as silver. Where there is a large amount of nickel to be cleaned gasoline will do the work well and quickly, but of course extra precautions must be taken. To Wash Matting. Matting should be washed with strong salt and water to strengthen the fibers. If a white or cream colored matting has become faded, wash with strong soda water, and, while this will turn it a deeper shade of creamy yellow, it will be all one color instead of variegated. Matting should always be swept the way of the weave, not across it. If some of the figures in the pattern have become dingy, they can be brightened by rubbing dye into the matting with an old toothbrush, following the lines of the figure, which can be strengthened with a pencil before applying the dye. The Kitchen Sink A kitchen sink should be kept spotlessly clean. The best way to clean a galvanized iron sink is to rub strong soap powder into every corner and over every inch of surface. Let it rest for ten or 15 minutes, then with a scrubbing brush and boiling water go over the whole, rubbing vigorously when thoroughly scrubbed polish with a soft flannel cloth wet with kerosene. This prevents the sink from rusting after the strong powder has been used. For a porcelain-lined sink use kerosene first, last and every time. Care of Axminster Rug. Put your broom into a bag made of cotton flannel to fit it and sweep the way the nap lies. This takes up the dust and leaves the rug with a silk-like finish. The covered broom is also fine to sweep matting, polished floors or walls. Light Shortcake. Roll the lower half for a shortcake about one-half inch thick, spread with soft butter, roll the upper layer, and put on the lower and bake. It will come off easily without cutting. Put Lemon in Sauce. To improve the flavor of sauces, stews, soups, and gravies add a little lemon after cooking. This makes palatable combination.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall; drop by drop the springs run dry. One by one our Lares and Penates are being taken from us. The landmarks are being removed, gradually, so that modern Washington does not know the original capital city; and in the near future our modern Washington will neither be known nor remembered. U.S. CAPITAL Preserved and venerated are the relics of antiquity in the old world; as likewise also are mementoes of the events of national and international importance retained for the benefit of posterity. But in our new world nothing is ancient; and nothing is likely to become ancient, for we are not permitted, nor to be permitted to have tangible reminders of our great men, nor memorabilis of our great events. The residence of Jefferson Davis, once a great senator and a great secretary of war, is now the business office of a notorious corporation The residence of John Quincy Adams, wherein he dwelt as a member of congress fighting for the right of petition, is gone; and, alongside of it where once stood the home of Daniel Webster, when he prepared and delivered his famous reply to Hayne; these two, have gone into nothingness, and on their joint sites there has been erected a massive iron structure, veneered with marble. There is nothing here to indicate to future generations the triumph of the "right of petition," nor to suggest the origin of that famous, effective speech for "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." The home of the ante-bellum Washington club, where all of the great men of note daily and nightly gathered; where Daniel E. Sickles shot down the despoiler of his home; the house subsequently the home of Secretary of State William H. Seward, where he was assaulted and left for dead by the assassin, the night that Lincoln was killed; the house which was afterward the residence of Secretary James G. Blaine, and where that singularly popular politician breathed his last; no longer exists. In its place there is a modern theater, whence the strains of music and the strainings of the voices of alleged prima donnas vibrate across the park, even into the defenseless ears of the family in the White House. Within one block of the treasury there stood a famous hotel, built in 1836, from whose portals there went forth for inauguration as president of the United States, Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and James A. Garfield. But that landmark is gone. Two blocks north, there stood a Methodist church which was the spiritual home of many eminent men, and of several presidents, including William McKinley. But it is gone. Beneath its roof John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Polk and Lincoln also heard the word of God. On its site is a large office building. The church is gone and almost forgotten. On the corner of Third street and Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, once stood the Washington hotel, the home of Vice-Presidents Hannibal Hamlin and Henry Wilson; also the residence of Speakers Polk, Grow and of numerous other eminent gentlemen. The old structure, with its bricks full of memories, will soon make room for an apartment-house.-Los Angeles Times. Made Boom for Sherman. Alfred Angus Early, who is principally famous for the fact that when he whispers cut glass and other delicate articles aren't safe within a 40-foot radius, is claiming credit for the nomination of James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York for the vice-presidency. "I done it," said Alf to a bunch of newspaper men and politicians the other day. "I can prove that I opened the box of Sherman buttons in the Cannon headquarters and gave away the first one. Nobody had ever thought of Sherman before that." Mr. Early could add with truth that he distributed 20,000 Sherman boom buttons in less than two days, and the most of them he personally pinned on folks' coats. It made no difference to him whether the pnee was a Sherman man or a Fairbanks man or a Cummins man or what other kind of a man. He went right on pinning just the same. When he found a particularly obstreperous partisan who would have none of his lapel and button work he waited until said obstreperous partisan had turned around, and then stuck a couple of buttons on his back. Alfred Angus is one of our leading workers.—Washington Post. Diplomat's Fine Whiskers Senor Don Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban minister, has the most luxuriant bunch of whiskers sported by any diplomat in Washington. WITH SPEECHES AND MUSIC. Magnificent Headquarters of the District of Columbia Dedicated. The residents of Washington—there is no citizenship there—celebrated the Fourth of July by dedicating their magnificent new white marble capitol building. The structure is officially known as the Municipal building and will shelter the heads of the administrative officers of the District of Columbia government. It is practically complete but will not be occupied until October 1. The exercises began at nine o'clock in the morning in front of the new building, which fronts Pennsylvania avenue at the intersection of Fourteenth and E streets, Northwest. The principal speakers were George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, and Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives. A small pavilion had been erected to shelter the speakers and the distinguished guests who held platform seats, and the United States marine band was under a separate shelter in a band stand. But the 5,000 spectators who gathered at the opening of the exercises at nine o'clock were soon dispersed by the sun, and when Uncle Joe Cannon closed the speechmaking at noon he had scarcely a corporal's guard listening. The audience sang "The Star Spangled Banner" and "America" to the accompaniment of the Marine band, Charles B. Hanford, the actor, declared the words, Gen. John M. Wilson read the Declaration of Independence and Henry B. F. MacFarland, president of the board of district commissioners, Chapin Brown, president of the chamber of commerce, and Aldis B. Browne, representing the board of trade, delivered addresses. Other exercises followed, and there was a general reception in the new building at 12 o'clock. All the executive departments of the government were closed in observance of the holiday, and there was a suspension of all business. CHANGED HIS LUNCH ROUTE. Mr. Smith Was No Longer a Mere "Newspaper Man." Once upon a time Smith was a newspaper man. At any rate, he got a salary from his paper for the impersonation. In those days Mr. Smith behaved like any other down lowly and downtrodden copy chaser. He loped around in search of news, elusive and otherwise, wrote stuff accurate and otherwise and caught his meals on the fly. He wasn't at all averse to galloping into a three-cent lunchroom sinking his molars in a day-before-yesterday Maryland biscuit, sluicing out his lunch chute with a draft of near-milk and hustling out again to make going-to-press and other connections. But how times have changed. Now Smith is one of Mr. Taft's hired men. 'Tother day Mr. Smith was drifting slowly down the street, his teeth sunk in the cold end of a three-for-fifty Havana import, his patent leather kicks glistening in the sunshine and a slender silver-mounted initialed cane swinging between the initial and middle digits of his left lunch hook, when a newspaper friend and erstwhile colleague blew up behind him. "How!" said the newspaper man. "Just going to lunch. Won't you come along? Guess I've got the price for two." "Pawdow me," said Smith, "but where are you thinking of lunching?" "Why, at the Quick and Dirty, of course," said the newspaper man, in some amazement. "Where'd you think I was going, the St. Regis?" "I just inquired," remarked Smith, as he swung his cane a trifle more to the right, "and I regret I cannot accompany you. Those crude lunch places strike me as—er—quite insanity. Besides, I am taking my meals at the New Willard now. Ta ta." Oh, but I'd just love to tell what the newspaper man said.—Washington Star. Get Away from the Capital. Washington has reached its annual low-water mark in the way of population, and 'twould be of interest if a census could be taken to show what proportion of the population of the national capital ducks from under when what is generally supposed to be the hottest month of the year in this neck of the woods rolls around, says a correspondent in the capital city. I have heard, though I don't remember just now whether 'twas on reliable authority or not—that a larger proportion of the population of Washington leaves the city for more or less lengthy periods in summer than of any other city in the whole country. The proposition seems reasonable, and perhaps, when the census bureau gets down to fine points, a bulletin may tell us all about it. Undoubtedly it will make those of us who, since the enactment of that dear railroad rate law and the abolition of passes, have never been further south than Alexandria, and further west than Cumberland, feel a little better, anyhow. Musk Deer of Tibet Consul-General William H. Michael reports that a number of Tibetian traders who visited Calcutta in March, 1908, brought with them, among other articles, a large quantity of musk, which is held in high esteem by the high-caste Indians. The little deer from which the musk is obtained ranges in the Himalayas and Tibetan mountains, 9,000 feet above the sea level. The male deer yields the finest and greatest quantity of musk. The deer are shy and alert, and difficult to capture. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP. JOSLINS We Are Almost Giving Away The balance of our Summer Stock of Ladies' Garments.

"A friend is a balancing pole," said an athlete—"a balancing pole without which it is impossible to walk safely the tight rope of life?" "A friend is a jewel," said a pretty girl, "that shines brightest in the darkness of misfortune." "A friend is a volume," said a journalist, "a volume of sympathy, bound in cloth as a rule, though in rare cases the binding may be silken." "A friend is a good link," mused a jeweler, "in the chain of life." "He is a plaster," said a physician, "for the cuts of misfortune."

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that the medicinal herbs composing Peruna are of two kinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh remedies. Second, well-known and generally acknowledged tonic remedies. That in one or the other of these uses they have stood the test of many years' experience by physicians of different schools. There can be no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrhal diseases, and for such conditions of the human system as require a tonic. Each one of the principal ingredients of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh or as a tonic medicine. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics. The American Friends' board of foreign missions has so far had control of Cuba only, but it is planned now to transfer to it the work in Palestine, Mexico, Japan.

They were holding an "exam." in an East end school, and the teacher was explaining the chief products of the Indian empire. One child recited a list of comestibles. "Please, miss, India produces curries and pepper and citron and chillies and chutney and—and—" "Yes, yes, and what comes after that?" "Please, miss, I don't remember." "Yes, but think. What is India so famous for?" "Please, 'm India-gestion." LOOKED FOR OTHER TWO. Little One Had But One Idea of Term "Fore-Handed." Little Catherine has been boarding on a farm this summer, and many of the rural expressions are wholly unfamiliar to her. One day she chance to hear her country hostess praising the good qualities of a certain thrifty neighbor. "He really ain't got much, compared to some folks," said the farmer's wife, "but he makes out wonderful well; he's so fore-handed." That evening the man thus lauded happened to drop in, and Katherine immediately sided up to him, with curious eyes. Slowly she revolved about the chair in which he sat, and so persistently did she gaze at him that the farmer's wife finally noticed it. "Well, Katherine," she said, "you seem to find a good deal to look at in Mr. B——: don't you?" "Why," replied the child, her little forehead wrinkled in perplexity. "I did want to see his two uvver hands, but I can't. Is he sittin' on 'em?" SELF DELUSION Many People Deceived by Coffee. We like to defend our indulgenies and habits even though we may be convinced of their actual harmfulness. A man can convince himself that whisky is good for him on a cold morning, or beer on a hot summer day—when he wants the whisky or beer. It's the same with coffee. Thousands of people suffer headaches and nervousness year after year but try to persuade themselves the cause is not coffee—because they like coffee. "While yet a child I commenced using coffee and continued it," writes a Wis. man, "until I was a regular coffee flend. I drank it every morning and in consequence had a blinding headache nearly every afternoon. "My folks thought it was coffee that aled me, but I liked it and would not admit it was the cause of my trouble, so I stuck to coffee and the headaches stuck to me. "Finally, the folks stopped buying coffee and brought home some Postum. They made it right (directions on pkg.) and told me to see what difference it would make with my head, and during the first week on Postum my old affliction did not bother me once. From that day to this we have used nothing but Postum in place of coffee—headaches are a thing of the past and the whole family is in fine health." "Postum looks good, smells good, tastes good, is good, and does good to the whole body." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

SHERMAN ON PARTY ISSUES REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT FORMALLY ACCEPTS NOMINATION. TALKS ON THE TARIFF MAKES SHORT ADDRESS AND COMMENDS SPEECH OF SECRETARY TAFT. Utica, N. Y.—The last formal ceremony attending the official launching of the Republican national ticket of 1908 was held here Tuesday, when Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman was tendered and accepted the nomination of his party for the vice presidency. Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the notification committee, whose members gathered here from the various states of the Union, made the tender of the nomination. Mr. Sherman praised the record of the Republican party and in contrast it with the Democratic organization referred to the latter as "an aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists whose only claim to a history is a party name they pilfered." Mr. Sherman said: "Your chairman, speaking for the committee, has notified me of my nomination by the Republican national convention, held in Chicago in June, as the party's candidate for vice president. As I chanced to be in Chicago in June, I had an inkling of the convention's action, which was confirmed by a warm-hearted reception tendered me by my neighbors on the occasion of my home-coming on July 2nd. "This official notification, however, is welcome and the nomination you tender me is accepted; accepted with a gratitude commensurate with the great honor conferred; accepted with a full appreciation of the obligations which accompany that honor, an honor greater because my name is linked with that of William H. Taft, whom I respect and esteem highly and who approaches the high office of President exceptionally well equipped to discharge the duties and bear the varied weighty responsibilities of that exalted position. "I endorse the statement made by Mr. Taft in his address of acceptance when notified of his nomination as the Republican candidate for President. "First, then, let me say that I am a protectionist. I am sufficiently practical to value the utility of a fact higher than the beauty of a theory, and I am a protectionist because experience has demonstrated that the application of that principle has lifted us as a nation to a plane of prosperity above that occupied by other people. "I especially commend that plank of our platform which promises an early revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled in an adjustment based in every particular upon the broad principles of protection for all American interests; alike for labor, for capital, for producers and consumers. The Dingley bill, when enacted, was well adapted to the then existing conditions. "In this readjustment the principle of protection must and will govern; such duties must and will be imposed as will equalize the cost of production at home and abroad and insure a reasonable profit to all American interests. The Republican idea of such a profit embraces not alone the manufacturer, not alone the capital invested, but all engaged in American production, the employer and employed, the artisan, the farmer, the miner and those engaged in transportation and trade, broadly speaking, those engaged in every pursuit and calling which our dariff directly or indirectly affects. "A 'revenue basis,' a 'tariff for revenue only,' 'ultimate free trade'—all have an identical meaning; that meaning being an assault upon American industries, an attack upon the American wage scale, a lessening demand for the products of American soil and American toll; less work, less pay, less of the necessaries of and comforts of life. "I believe in the maintenance of such an army, the upbuilding of such a navy as will be the guarantee of the protection of American citizens and American interests everywhere, and an omen of peace. "I believe in the restoration of the American merchant marine and in rendering whatever financial aid may be necessary to accomplish this purpose. "I approve the movement for the conservation of our natural resources; the fostering of friendly foreign relations; the enforcement of our civil service law, and the enactment of such statutes as will more securely and more effectively preserve the public health. "Shall the people rule" is declared by the Democratic platform and candidate to be the overshadowing tone. didate to be 'the overshadowing issue . . . now under discussion.' It is no issue. Surely the people shall rule, surely the people have ruled; surely the people do rule. No party rules. The party, commissioned by the people, is simply the instrument to execute the people's will, and from that party which does not obey their expressed will or which lacks the wisdom to lead successfully, the people will withdraw their commission." Chafin Accepts Nomination Chicago. At Music Hall Tuesday night, in the presence of a large and enthusiastic audience, Eugene W. Chafin of Chicago accepted the nomination for the presidency by the Prohibition party. The address formally notifying Mr. Chafin of the Prohibition ticket was made by Prof. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg on behalf of the committee on notification appointed at the national convention1.

Two old Hebrew beggars were traveling, together through the residence section of Pittsburg not long ago, in quest of contributions toward their joint capital. Presently they passed a handsome residence, from which sweet sounds of music issued. It was Ike's turn and hopefully he ascended the steps to the front door, eagerly watched by Jake, who expected quite a handsome addition to their funds. His consternation was great consequently when he beheld Ike returning crestfallen and empty-handed. Anxiously running to meet him, he said: "Vell, Ikey, how did you make out with the good people?" "Ach, Jakey," replied Ike, "there was no use asking in there, because they are very poor people themselves. Just think—two lovely ladies playing on one piano!"—Judge's Library. The Spider and the Fly. In the long warfare between the spider and the fly, the latter has had the housewife for its auxiliary and friend. The flies have been tolerated, even fed and nurtured, while the spiders and their webs have been ruthlessly destroyed. This unremitting and unrelenting war against it keeps the spider population down, while the flies increase and multiply by the millions and ten of millions, almost unchecked. The spider is ugly and his web is unsightly in the estimation of most people, but spiders hurt no human creature. They feed on flies, which are the foes of mankind, and do mankind a service.—Philadelphia Press. THE TIME TEST. That Is What Proves True Merit.

Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certainly has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all these years, and the many attempts to imitate it, sufficient recommendation? What can a physician add? Leave it to the mothers." Dr. Edwin F. Pardoe, of New York City, says: "For several years I have recommended your Castoria and shall always continue to do so, as it has invariably produced beneficial results." Dr. N. B. Sizer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I object to what are called patent medicines, where maker alone knows what ingredients are put in them, but I know the formula of your Castoria and advise its use."

BABY CRIED AND SCRATCHED All the Time—Covered with Torturing Eczema—Doctor Said Sores Would Last for Years—Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My baby niece was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid. But I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L.

"Ladies First." In this age of leveling up and leveling down, and of attempting to place women on the same plane as men in everything, chivalry is nearly a dead letter. Many wish it were altogether so, regarding it as a bar to the full emancipation of women. There can be no traffic here with such wrong-headed and wrong heart notions. In the healthy atmosphere of sport such notions wither and fade like exotics in an alien soil. "Ladies first!" is an abiding principle with all who are sportsmen.—Frye's Magazine.

The fichu is bordered on the outside with little passementerie balls and on the inside with straps of passementerie and littie buttons. These straps and buttons also trim the pretty draped skirt at each side. ‘The fichu is finished on the inside with white lace over a plastron of white tulle or mousseline de soie, which is tucked crosswise. The odd sleeves are of the material, finely tucked, and of lace. The cravat is of black: Hberty, the ends finished with gold tassels. 5 The other most charming gown is of gray blue voile or tussah silk, trimmed with white braid. ‘The sleeves are cut in one piece with the corsage, which is handsomely trimmed in front with cord and ornamented with whits buttons with cord loops. ite The plastron and cuffs are of white linen, all made with tucks andi little ruffles, The skirt, in three stages, is plaited and trimmed with the white braid. The girdle is of liberty, matching the gown. GOOD MANNERS AT HOME. LATE STYLES IN UNDERWEAR. Formality Unnecessary, But Gentle| New Ideas Are Evolved fram Imported Courtesy Should Rule. Designs. “Politeness in the home is like the straw used in packing china; it saves breakage and prevents crashes,” writes Lillan Bell. It everybody would take this to heart there would be many happier homes than there are now. It is an absurd excuse to make that one must be one’s self before home folk. One needs good manners just among those people more than among outsiders. The man who treats his wife as though she was a comfortable piece of furniture is not satisfactory to any woman. It is not possible for her to keep from drawing comparisons with the way he treats other women when they are at the house. A woman who hasn't the first {dea of manners when her husband is around, should not be astonished when he prefers another woman who is always well bred and gracious in his presence. Formalities are unnecessary and foolish. Conventional politeness is not wanted. It would stiffen the at- mosphere and take away from the home likeness. But there are all sorts of gentle lt- tle courtesies that should be shown by every one to everybody in the home, and they certainiy do prevent @ great deal of crash and breakage. ‘A Raaw Gontliva. A beautiful organdie gown with a de- sign of large pink roses is made with a jacket effect on the bodice edged with lace. The skirt is quite plain and very tight down to within about 16 inches of the floor, where It suddenly flares out with ten narrow bias rut: fles of a solid pink lawn. The girdle 4s of pink satin, which tles on one side of the front. With the costume {s worn a hat of white horsehair, made in Charlotte Corday style, with a-wreath of tiny pink roses round the crown. It makes a pretty semf-dressy gown for dinner in a hotel, and it is yet youthful enough to be becoming to a young girl. Feather Ornaments for Evening Wear. In striking contrast to the huge bows in tinsel, strewn with glittering spangles, so much in favor with wo- men in society not so very long ago, has come a pretty and unobtrusive evening coiffure ornament. It is in the shape of a tip of ostrich, whether white, black, red, blue or any color to harmonize with the gown, which nods on the top of the stem of some of the long pins designed for ornamenting the head. ‘These tips contribute im- mensely to finish an evening toilette, and if not too large are most effective. Aiiid) Minha GA nas As a remedy for that most exasper- ating discovery, a mud stain or grass stain upon an otherwise spotless linen sult, remove all possible soll with a dry brush and apply with a clean sponge any one of the standard “cleaners” in popular use for white shoes. This simple process is aston- ishingly successful, as the white liquid quite obliterates the stain, and if ap- plied with a damp instead of a wet sponge, the garment will be immacu- late and ready to wear in 16 minutes, Ss AN os ey ASy LATE STYLES IN UNDERWEAR. New Ideas Are Evolved fram Imported Designs. Some of the most striking, a8 well as sensible, under muslins are being brought out for the summer trade by domestic manufacturers. Bach season designers from the largest Américan plants visit the markets sea to look over the new ideas and fashions, after which it generally happens that these are taken up and improved upon. The single piece garment, made of nainsook and comprising drawers and corset cover, has been evolved from foreign fashions, but changed somewhat to meet the American idea. These are serviceable, comfortable, and do away with extra skirt and bulk around the waist, besides being cooler for summer wear. American- made silk underwear is also meeting with more favor, and some of the latest novelties now shown in the market are meeting with such suécess that manufacturers find it difficilt to take care of the orders. In men's gar- ments sleeveless shirts and short drawers are now being turned out in either all silk or mercerized fabrics. These suits are not expensive, as they can be purchased at prices ranging from two dollars per suit up. Light colors are coming into fashion, and all of the latest lines on the market range through shades of blues, pinks, grays and light tans. Manufacturers of sweaters are looking forward to what they believe will be the largest fall season in many years. The coat sweater has been improved upon, and women will now find no trouble in getting garments that fit and look attractive when worn. ne is ad ez.

The simple rag rug for country homes and bedrooms is becoming more popular, New materials are now be- ing used, instead of the discarded clothing, old sheets, etc., which were used generations ago for the “hit-and miss” rag carpet. Those of to-day who are interested in the work consider carefully the artistic effect in color and weave. If the rugs are to be washed, It is well to use fast colors ‘Those for living rooms are made much darker, and do not need laundering! Old ingrain carpets and hangings may be used to good advantage. The most satisfactory new materials to buy are ginghams, ticking, denim, cotton flan- nels, etc. Real thin cotton goods are not recommended. In preparing materials for weaving care should be taken, The strips may be cut straight or on the bias, and they should be nearly an inch wide. ‘They must also be sewed together very smoothly and firmly. The best: looking rugs are made from the colors being kept in separate balls. Striped or figured materials give good results, with borders of a plain color, while others are pretty with plain centers and figured borders. It takes about one and a half pounds of cotton rags for one square yard of weaving. When rags are furnished to the weaver, his charge is from 50 to 60 cents a square yard, which includes the warp and his labor. When mahogany furniture is in a very bad condition the only method of restoring it is that of first removing the old finish, and the old method ot seraping and sandpapering is the best one. After this is done, either wax, varnish or ofl may be applied. Dents in hard wood may be filled in with col. ored wax. White enameled furniture may be cleaned with a cloth damp ened in warm water and a little whit ing if necessary. At the end it should be-thoroughly rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Gilt furniture and gilt frames may be cleaned with a paste made ol whiting and alcohol. This should be rubbed off before it hardens. Natural colored wicker furniture can be scrubbed with a brush and warm soay suds. Painted and enameled wicker should be treated like white enameled furniture. This sort of ware, however, is quite unsatisfactory because the enamel chips and the paint wears of. When varnished floors have become blackened in spots and thers are nu- merous heel marks, they need je. standing finish, and must be treatéa with extreme measures. The old fin: ish must be first removed, and when the floor is revarnished, see that the liquid is of good quality, and that several coats are given. A waxed floor needs only another coat of wax and a thorough polishing. Grease spots can often be removed with tur. pentine. It is best to remove spots from rugs or carpets as soon as they are made. Spots made by sticky sub- stances may be removed by sponging them with alcohol and salt, a pint of alcohol to a teaspoonful of salt. Grease or oll spot should be covered with wet fuller’s earth, and allowed to stand for two days and then brushed off. French chalk will re move fresh grease spots. Cover the spots well, then spread a brown paper over therm and apply a moderately hot iron. GRE 5 epee oem gta Ee oe et ee ee ee bd RESCRIPTION L. L.

In making all berry pies, especially strawberrry, cherry and blackberry pies, put the berries on to stew with little water. Add sugar, small piece of butter, and pinch of salt. When they stew about three minutes thicken with a little cornstarch and turn in pie plates lined with raw crust. Put on top crust and bake, or bake in one crust and spread beaten whites of eggs over top and brown in oven. This beats the old way of putting raw ber- ries in the crust and does not use any more time, as it doesn’t require so long to bake them. The salt sets the flavor and the cornstarch keeps the juice from running all over, They cut better when warm and are simply de- licions when cold. Yellow Lentil Soup. Wash one cup lentils, boil in three pints of cold water till soft, replenish- ing as the water boils away. Cook a carrot, one onion, two sprigs of pars- ley, two bay leaves in water, sift into the soup half hour before’ serving. Thicken with one tablespoon each but- ter and flour rubbed together, add salt and pepper. Serve with croutons. Len- tils are the nearest of all substitutes for meat. They are good in stews, puree, boiled and served with chives or onions, peppers and lettuce. French ‘or cooked dressinzs. Put Potato on Curtain Rods. In putting freshly laundered cur. tains on rods try sticking a piece of raw potato over the end of the rod. The slight moisture dampens the cur- tain suffictently and covers the sharp edge of the end and also the moisture being starchy restores the crispness when again dry, To Clean Straw Hats. Make a solution of oxalic acid dis: solved in hot water. Dip a stiff brush in the solution and scrub the hat, rinse well with clear water, and press with a warm iron, Place in the sun until thoroughly dry and the hat will be like new.
