The two great parties of Colorado have held their respective state conventions and are now presenting their platforms for endorsement and their candidates for election to the highest office in the gift of the people. The Democratic convention at Pueblo was an exhibition of corporate corruption and political hypocrisy, so flagrant and insulting to the civic virtue of Colorado voters, that it will be passing strange if the ticket nominated receives the full vote of the delegates. The Colorado Statesman is pleased to announce, that in this convention there were no Negroes except such as clamor for "the loaves and fishes." They belong to a class who can do no party any real good. The convention was a ludricrous display of chicanery and scheming. The Republican convention met in the city of Denver last Saturday.

The history of the Republican party in Colorado during the past ten years, is a record of the redemption of the state. That the splendid work begun by the party should continue, ought to appeal to every Negro voter. The Colorado Statesman points with great pride to the ever increasing number of Colored business men, farmers, and professional men, settling in the state. For them to succeed and by their success increase the number, and, also inspires our young people with an ambition to rise above their present environment.

Such a prospect is w loyal deference to the opinions of Senado Republicans are capable. COLORADO'S junior United States Senator, Hon. Simon Guggenheim, has wasted no time in proving to the people of the Centennial State that it was a wise legislature which, with unstinted admiration and confidence, placed upon his shoulders the mantle of Wolecott. With that keen perception and brilliance of mind which made him a dominating spirit in several of Colorado's greatest industrial enterprises, he has taken a high place in the councils of that wise and dignified body which, more than any other branch of our government, reflects the genius and statesmanship of the American people. More conversant with business and commercial ways than was Wolecott, more patient, careful and more mindful of the native convictions and sentiments of his constituency, his services to his state have already assumed a greater importance than that which attached to the brilliant terms of his eloquent predecessor. Because of these facts Senator Guggenheim is receiving daily evidence of the keen appreciation of the people of Colorado in the voluntary assurances of Republicans all over the state, small as well as great, that loyalty to his wishes in the direction of their party's course in all matters touching state or national interests, is but an expression of their confidence in his greatness as well as in the efficacy of their party principles. Senator Guggenheim's moral and business training has been such as to place him in ready touch and sympathy with all classes of the people and they find in him an approachable and genial representative whose great honors have not placed him above their reach. Colorado's highest interests demand that Senator Guggenheim's colleague for the next senatorial term should be a Republican, whose harmonious support of the senior senator would give Colorado such prominence in the senate as it has not enjoyed for years. Such a prospect is worth every compromise, every loyal deference to the opinions of Senator Guggenheim of which Colorado Republicans are capable. commercial interests of Colorado, must necessarily benefit ALL CLASSES of citizens. A strong ticket has been nominated. The candidates are all clean men worthy our hearty support. At the head of the ticket is the great peace governor, Hon. Jesse F. McDonald, a high minded gentleman who is devoted to the best interest of our state. He made a great record as governor and his nomination at this time will no doubt add great strength to the ticket. Our nominees for the Supreme bench are a guarantee against corporate corruption and greed. They are a strong corp of men. The party is prepared for a vigor. --- States Senator, Hon.

The selection of Hon. John F. Vivian as chairman of the state central committee is evidence that every nook and corner of the state will receive the aid and advice of an experienced leader. The time is ripe to begin work. Every voter in the state must contribute something to the success of the party in November. The issues between the two parties are clearly drawn. It is a question of corporate gooders against civic virtue. The Colored voters have ever been on the side of good government. This is the year when our people should emphasize their position. That much earnest work is necessary to retain Colorado in the Re- publican column this year, no one doubts. But the coming of Mr. Taft to Denver in October will do much to rouse the voters. The results in Vermont and Maine have been far from satisfactory. It means that Western states usually regarded as sure Bryan strongholds must be vigorously attacked and if possible saved for the party. In all these states are many Colored voters. Their influence for the party is worth the effort. It is highly important to the success of the Republican party that every loyal party man make a supreme effort to bring another vote. Colorado must roll up a rousing Republican majority. The result in Maine means more work in the West. The venile exhibition of political trading and scheming at Pueblo last week doubly demands that Colorado be saved from the fate of being turned over to such a gang of heartless plunders and selfseekers.

WRIGHT MEETS BAD ACCIDENT LIEUTENAINT SELFRIDGE KILLED AND ORVILLE WRIGHT DANGEROUSLY INJURED, IN AEROPLANE TEST NEW PROPELLER BROKE AT THE HEIGHT OF SEVENTY-FIVE FEET. Washington.—After having drawn the attention of the world to his aeroplane flights at Fort Myer, and having established new world's records for heavier-than-air flying machines, Orville Wright Thursday met with a tragical mishap while making a two-man flight. The aeroplanist was accompanied by Lieut. Thomas E Selfridge, of the signal corps of the army, who was fatally injured and died at 8:10 o'clock Thursday night. Mr. Wright was seriously injured but is expected to recover. While the machine was encricling the drill grounds a propeller blade snapped off and, hitting some other part of the intricate mechanism caused it to overturn in the air and fall to the ground, enveloping the two occupants in the debris. Soldiers and spectators ran across the field to where the aeroplane had fallen and assisted in lifting Mr. Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge from under the tangled mass of machinery, rods, wires and shreds of muslin. Mr. Wright was conscious and said: "Oh, hurry and lift the motor." Lieutenant Selfridge was unconscious. His head was covered with blood and he was choking when the soldiers extricated him from under the machine. Doctor Watters, a New York physician, was one of the first to reach the spot and rendered first aid to the injured men. When their wounds had been bandaged Mr. Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge were taken to the Fort Myer hospital at the other end of the field. Mr. Wright had lapsed into a state of semi-consciousness by the time he reached the hospital and Lieutenant Selfridge did not regain consciousness at all. He was suffering from a fracture at the base of the skull and was in a critical condition. After a hurried surgical examination it was announced that Mr. Wright was not dangerously injured. He is suffering from a fracture of his left thigh, and several ribs on the right side are fractured. Both men received deep cuts about the head. Mr. Wright regained consciousness at the hospital, dictated a cablegram to his brother at Lemans, France, and requested that the same message be sent to his sister and father at Dayton, Ohio, assuring them that he was all right. Two thousand persons were at the aeronautical testing grounds. Officers of the signal corps and other enthusiasts at Fort Myer were inclined to express the belief that the accident was not due to a faulty principle, but to a defect in the propeller, which was made of spruce. One of the members of the signal corps board who had been conducting the Fort Myer tests said: "The resumption of the aeroplane trials will depend on the length of time which it will take Mr. Wright to recover from his injuries. This accident will, of course, seriously hamper the possibility of securing appropriations from Congress for the aeronautical work of the signal corps. The Wright brothers, however, have even more advanced ideas in regard to air flights, and if they continue their work it is very probable that the effect of this one accident will be overcome. Hurricane at Galveston. Houston, Tex.-The storm disturbance which has been threatening the Gulf coast for several days, broke over Galveston at 9 o'clock Thursday morning, the wind reaching a recorded velocity of sixty miles an hour. It came from the southeast and carried wires and poles prostrate, but did not destroy buildings. Accompanying the wind was a heavy rain, the weather bureau recording over six inches within a short space of time. This filled the streets and the people became frantic because of the force of the elements that reminded them of the storm of September 8, 1900. Selfridge from San Francisco San Francisco.—Lieut. Thomas E. Selfridge, United States army, who with Orville Wright at the time of the accident, and who was so severely injured that death resulted, was the son of E. A. Selfridge, of this city, a retired merchant. Lieutenant Selfridge received his appointment to West Point from this state and had been stationed at the Presidio before being sent to Washington, where he was assigned for special duty with the signal corps. Lieutenant Selfridge had for years devoted himself to the study of aeronautics. Shortage in the World's Wheat Crop Washington.—The European reports to the Department of Agriculture say that the wheat harvest over the greater part of Europe is already completed.

Eastward of these countries a moderate increase in the yield is expected but not enough to restore the average. COLORADO NEWS The Sterling sugar factory opened the fall campaign on the 16th.

OPPOSITION WAS WEAK JAMES W. WADSWORTH, JR. COULD ONLY MUSTER 151 VOTES OUT OF 1.009. Saratoga, N. Y.-The Republican state ticket: Governor, Charles E. Hughes of New York (renominated). Lieutenant Governor, Horace White of Onondaga. Secretary of State, Samuel S. Koenig of New York. Attorney General, Edward R. O'Malley of Erie. Comptroller, Charles H. Gaus of Albany. State Treasurer, Thomas B. Dunn of Monroe. Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, Albert Haight of Erie (renominated). Charles Evans Hughes of New York was nominated today by the Republican state convention by an overwhelming majority and on the first ballot to succeed himself as governor of the state of New York. He received 27 out of a possible 1,009 votes as against 151 for James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston county, speaker of the state assembly, and 31 for former Congressman John K. Stewart of Montgomery. The nomination was made unanimous on motion of State Committeeman William Barnes of Albany, who has been perhaps the bitterest and most outspoken opponent of the governor's renomination. The governor's renomination followed the utter failure of a desperate struggle on the part of a number of the county leaders, who for four days have spared no effort to discover a candidate upon whom they could unite to defeat him. The remainder of the ticket was made up in the "good old fashioned way." Senator White, who was chosen as a candidate for lieutenant governor was "in the running" for the governorship until the early afternoon, when after a meeting of his delegation he requested his friends not to present his name. It was the 183 votes of all but one district in New York county that carried the governor's total beyond the 505, a majority of the convention, required to nominate. The nine votes of Nassau county had brought the Hughes total to 395. Amid a breathless hush, in which was incarnate all the intensity of bitterness and suspense which up to that moment had characterized the struggle to prevent the renomination of Hughes, the secretary of the convention called "New York." Herbert Parsons, president of the New York county committee, rose in his place, his slender figure alert and tense with the excitement of the crucial moment, and said: "New York county, second assembly district, gives four for Wadsworth, the balance of the county, 183, for Charles E. Hughes." A thousand pencils in two seconds had footed the Hughes total to 578, in as many heart beats every person in the great hall knew that the battle was over and the place was instantly a bedlam of cheering. The convention went wild with the first real surprise of the roll call, when Saratoga returned eleven for Charles E. Hughes, for Saratoga is the famous home of racing. Republicans Carry Maine. Portland.—The Republicans carried Maine by about 8,000 plurality as against 26,816 in the last Presidential year, and 8,064 in 1906. At midnight returns for governor, 468 out of 519 cities, towns and plantations, give Bert M. Fernald (Republican), 72,117; Obadiah Gardner (Democrat), 64,993. Same place in 1904 gave Cobb (Republican), 75,334; Davis (Democrat), 49,416. Remaining places in 1904 gave Cobb 1,630; Davis, 730. The missing towns, which are small, four years ago cast 1,630 Republican votes and 730 Democratic. The Democratic vote increased more than 13,000 over that of 1904, while the Republican vote fell off about 2,500. The Republican plurality is the smallest recorded in a Presidential year in twenty-five years. Taft's Itinerary. Chicago.—Ten days of travelling, with almost constant speaking, has been arranged for William H. Taft, Republican candidate for President. The trip will be made on a special train starting from some Illinois point, probably Chicago, about September 25th. The tour will extend as far north as Minneapolis and Fargo, North Dakota; as far south as several points in Kansas, and west to Denver. Mr. Taft will be back to Chicago in time to speak before the deep waterways convention on October 7th. James J. Hill's Birthday Party. St. Paul.—James J. Hill of the Great Northern railway on Wednesday celebrated his seventieth birthday anniversary, and in honor of the event the railroad magnate was banqueted by the employees of the Great Northern, who have been in the service since 1880 or prior to that time. There were eighty eligible to attend the banquet. An interesting feature of the occasion was the trip to Lake Minnetonka, which was taken from St. Paul behind the first locomotive brought to the state of Minnesota. Night Sweats & Cough. Night Sweats & Cough. E. W. Walton, Condr. S. P. Ry., 717 Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex., writes: "During the summer and fall of 1902, my annoyance from catarra reached that stage where it was actual misery and developed alarming symptoms, such as a very deep-seated cough, night sweats, and pains in the head and chest. I experimented with several so-called remedies before I finally decided to take a thorough course of Peruna. "Twoof my friends had gone so far as to inform me that the thing for me to do was to resign my position and seek a higher, more congenial climate. Everyone thought I had consumption and I was not expected to live very long. "Having procured some Peruna, I decided to give it a thorough test and applied myself assiduously to the task of taking it, as per instructions, in the meantime." "The effects were soon apparent, all alarming symptoms disappeared and my general health became fully as good as it had ever been in my life. "I have resorted to the use of Peruna on two or three occasions since that time to cure myself of bad colds." PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT. California Cactus Blows Around the Desert for Months. Curious among vegetable growths and one which is seldom seen of men is the rootless cactus of the California desert, says the Techinal World. This plant, a round, compact growth, rolls about the level floor of the desert for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yon by the winds which blow with fierceness over all of California's sand plat during those months. At the coming of the rains, or rather the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cactus takes root wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and immediately begins to put out all around it small shoots, which in turn become cacti, exactly like the parent plant. These young growths increase in size rapidly, sucking the moisture both from the parent plant and from the surrounding earth. The roots do not penetrate the soil deeply, but spread often over a circle whose radius is not less than ten feet. These roots, too, are small, but practically innumerable, and they get every bit of moisture and plant food to be had in the territory they cover. EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER From Terrible Eczema—Baby's Head a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores —Disease Cured by Cuticura. "Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different remedies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doctor's care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old I started to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby. She has not had a sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke, LeSueur, Minn., Apr. 15 and May 2, '07." When the Minister Scored. A country clergyman, while recently advocating the support of a charitable object, prefaced the circulation of the plate with the following address: "From the great sympathy I have witnessed in your countenances, there is only one thing I am afraid of—that some of you may feel inclined to give too much. Now, it is my duty to inform you that justice should always be a prime virtue to generosity; therefore, I wish to have it thoroughly understood that no person will think of putting anything on the plate who cannot pay his debts." The result was an overflowing collection. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo.

The flirt is always practicing a game she never intends to play. We praise the sensible girl, but we sometimes marry the other kind. The flirt sometimes finds she can deceive a man more by being sincere. Learning how to love is Nature's roundabout way of teaching us how to hate. The man in love is foolish, but he doesn't admit it until after he gets married. We love only once, and few of us are lucky enough to marry at that time. Those who are disappointed in love are the ones who are disappointed the least. Another fellow's sister always seems nicer to us than our own until after we have married. While love at first sight may lead to marriage, second sight is just as likely to lead to divorce. When at last you meet the ideal woman the chances are that she won't consider you the ideal man Spring Under Capital Square.

McDONALD FOR SECOND TERM AS GOVERNOR AND ENDORSE NATIONAL AND STATE ADMINISTRATIONS. Denver.—The Colorado Republican State Convention met at the auditorium Saturday. Lieut. Gov. E. R. Harper was elected temporary chairman and Dr. Hubert L. Work of Pueblo, permanent chairman. Early in the convention considerable controversy arose over the action of the credentials committee in deciding in favor of the Burger or Guggenheim delegation from Denver and against the Parks or Evans delegation, but the committee's report was adopted by a large majority. tency and extravagance the attention of the voters of Colorado is called to the list of practical reforms and of constructive legislation effected by the Republican party. "Honesty, efficiency and economy have been restored to the administration of our state government and its institutions. "Although the population and wealth of the state have nearly doubled, the cost of operating the government has been kept down to a very low figure. "The debts of former Democratic Republican State Ticket. Following is the full Republican ticket placed in nomination by the state and congressional conventions: Governor—Jesse F.

"The Republican party of Colorado, in convention assembled, renews its allegiance to the national organization, and heartily indorses its platform and its candidates, Taft and Sherman. "In William H. Taft the Republican party has presented to the American people a candidate for President who is a statesman, tried in the hard school of experience, who has successfully discharged the gravest responsibility in the high offices he has honored under Presidents Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt. "We commend Senator Guggenheim for his efficient and faithful services in behalf of the people of our state; and commend and indorse the public services of Congressmen Bonynga Haggott and Cook, who have also is bored diligently and successfully for the state's best interests in our national law-making body. "We pledge our representatives in the national congress to continue to support the Republican doctrine of protection to American industries, supporting such revisions as are proposed by our national platform. The Republican party is pledged to and will protect the beet sugar and other industries of this state as against the attacks of the Democratic free traders, who will continue to declare that a protective tariff is a robbery, and who would place sugar upon the free list. "We endorse the administration of Governor Buchtel and his official associates. They have given the people a clean, business-like administration and have performed their duties with courage, fidelity and conspicuous ability. "Among the most important officers to be elected at the coming election are the justices of the Supreme Court. To the enforcement of the law by this court we owe it that for four years past law and order have prevailed in Colorado; to that court it is due that honest elections are now possible in Denver. In all cases that have come before it, it has maintained an unexcelled reputation for probity, learning and ability. We condemn the outrageous and unwarranted attack upon this court by the Democratic platform, which should be resented by all citizens, irrespective of party. "We appeal with confidence to the people of this state to maintain the present exalted standard of our highest tribunal by voting for and electing the Republican candidates for members of the Supreme Court. "The Democratic party, while in control of the state did nothing toward improving the public services. On the contrary, incompetence, extravagance, scandal and downright dishonesty were rampant in the state capitol when they turned the government over to the Republican party. "A Democratic governor had to borrow money to pay certain of the operating expenses of the state government. The Democrats then, as now, were fiercely attacking the corporations, but they did nothing to restrict their powers or to make effective the supervision of the state over such corporations as may have been dealing unjustly with the public. The Democratic party has not dared to refer to its record in its state platform, and particularly omits any reference to its lack of legislative action on corporation regulation. "As against the record of incompete Big Game in Wyoming. Cheyenne, Wyo.—"There are now probably 1,000 more moose in the Jackson Hole county," said S. E. Bartlett, who has just returned from that section. The information he gives, is news to sportsmen of the southern part of the state, who have been under the impression that not more than 200 moose could be found in the state. The reason for the increase is that moose have been protected during the past few years by a closed season and to be caught in molestation of them entails a heavy fine or imprisonment. tency and extravagance the attention of the voters of Colorado is called to the list of practical reforms and of constructive legislation effected by the Republican party. "Honesty, efficiency and economy have been restored to the administration of our state government and its institutions. "Although the population and wealth of the state have nearly doubled, the cost of operating the government has been kept down to a very low figure. "The debts of former Democratic administrations for the payment of which a large bond issue will be voted upon, may soon be thus wiped out, but at the close of the present administration, and after paying all the expenses of the last two years, there will be a large unappropriate balance left in the state treasury. "A railroad law has been enacted and a commission appointed to administer it for the protection of the public. "A bank law has been enacted and a commissioner provided to examine and supervise the operations of banks, to the end that the public may be protected against dishonest and incompetent bank officials. "A new insurance code has reorganized the state insurance department and provided a commissioner, with increased powers, to supervise insurance companies. Colorado enjoys a national reputation for the wisdom and effectiveness of its insurance supervision. "The Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court have been consolidated and litigation thereby expedited. "The Kansas-Colorado water suit has been fought through the United States Supreme Court and won for Colorado, saving to our people untold millions in water rights. "A law has been enacted providing a public examiner who will set in motion a plan to provide for a uniform system of public accounting in all county and state offices and exercise supervision over such accounts. "A law has been enacted regulating building and loan associations and placing them under the supervision of the auditor of the state. "A pure food law has been enacted which is being enforced in harmony with the national pure food law. "A local option law has been placed upon the statute books. A law has been enacted placing the employees of state institutions for the insane and delinquent upon the medit system, and a commission has been provided to make the law operate. "We favor the doctrine of home rule in legislative matters and condemn the inliquitous gerrymander of legislative districts by a former Democratic legislature. "We pledge our members elected to the next Legislature to correct this evil by passing a reapportionment bill that shall be fair and equitable to all the counties of the state, and the abolition of the floating of Denver and other populous counties with any other county. "We favor the enactment of a primary elections law. "We believe that the laws relating to the operations of corporations handling or guaranteeing trust funds, such as fidelity and surety companies and other insurance companies, building and loan associations and banks, should be vigorously enforced, and that these supervisory laws should be improved from time to time, embracing such additional classes of corporations as may be subjecting the public to unfair treatment. "We favor the enactment of laws that will adequately protect bank depositors. "We realize the urgent necessity of conserving the forests, water and other natural resources of the state but favor an administration and disposition of the public lands and other natural resources which will not retain our natural growth and development. In view of peculiar local conditions, with which the people of Colorado are more familiar than the government, we believe the state should adopt and execute its own policy of conservation and rules for the regulation and disposition of public lands and other natural resources. To that end we favor such state and federal legislation as will enable the state to acquire title to all public lands and other natural resources within its borders. "We feel justly proud of the educational system of the state of Colorado and we record our purpose as a party to generous co-operation with the advanced forces of higher and technical education in realizing for Colorado all that is worthy and best in this splendid interest. "In order that our State University may have the benefits of enlarged clinical facilities in its medical department we favor an amendment to the constitution which will permit the regents of the university, whenever in their judgment the needs of the institution demand such action, to establish and maintain the last two years of the department of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy at Denver. "Good roads are of vital importance to the progress and development of our commonwealth. We urge upon our members elected to the next Legislature to enact laws that small facilitate their construction in every part of the state." Next Mining Congress. Denver.—Althoug not yet officially announced, it is said to be practically certain that the annual meeting this year of the American Mining Congress will be held in Pittsburgh during December. The convention will be an important one on account of the activity of Salt Lake City in trying to secure the change of the national headquarters to that place on the offer of contributing largely toward the erection of the Mining temple. Douglas, Arizona, has signified its intention to obtain the next convention. When you want a fine High Grade Cigar 3 for 25c. 10c and 2 for 25c 10 Sizes The Baxter Cigar Con Denver.

FOR PARTY HARMONY. of factions carried on this year of Colorado, and which, even after intention to adjust and settle them for aid and encouraged by individual tendencies which should arose in consistent Republican, in the hope it may become an actual impossibility, ourselves good Republicans must leave the main object of party organization departments of the party or are formed for the fundamental intention to attain that success. Loosest as essential as faithfulness or personal ambitions or local question of the general organization. Failure recently been fostered in this ever-ardent ambition of individual sake, under the influence of distressing to the party in general, exaggerated until they result in loss in the heat of these factions, some nearer to being party treaty necessity to do so never exist. We are not hirelings or tools, as hisitative Republicans who reflectpective counties, and who are of one individual or local faction, the consistent belief that their hireble. From their honest judgmentians should remember that rapt in the greatest and most enlightened because of a settled sense of reliance of the regularly constituted army. It is the duty of individuals of sessions received in the guise of decisions of the party organization final desire for party success. THE struggle of factions carried on this year within the ranks of the Republicans of Colorado, and which, even after the earnest action of the state convention to adjust and settle them fairly and equitably, may yet be harbored and encouraged by individuals, gives evidence of grave and dangerous tendencies which should arouse the anxious concern of every consistent Republican, in the hope that a repetition of such misfortunes may become an actual impossibility. Men and women who consider themselves good Republicans must learn to concede that party success is the main object of party organizations and that the regular branches or departments of the party organization, in their various gradations, are formed for the fundamental purpose of helping the general organization to attain that success. Loyalty to that general organization is just as essential as faithfulness to party principles, no matter how personal ambitions or local questions may conflict with the express aims of the general organization. Factional disturbances, like those that have recently been fostered in this state, are the result of nothing but over-ardent ambition of individuals, and whatever course they may take, under the influence of distorted agitation, they are after all meaningless to the party in general, except as they may be aggravated and magnified until they result in party defeat. Appeals to the courts in the heat of these factional affrays are never justifiable, but come nearer to being party treason than justifiable right. The actual necessity to do so never exists. The members of the state committee are not hirelings or tools, as heated agitators often allege, but representative Republicans who reflect the ideas and sentiments of their respective counties, and who are as much within the persuasive reach of one individual or local faction as another. They are imbued with the consistent belief that their highest obligation is to the party as a whole. From their honest judgment there should be no appeal. Republicans should remember that rapid factional dissension is most absent in the greatest and most enlightened commonwealths and communities, because of a settled sense of reliance upon the judgments and actions of the regularly constituted authorities within the party organization. It is the duty of individuals to free themselves of demoralizing impressions received in the guise of local rights, and to bow to the sober decisions of the party organization, based as they are upon the fundamental desire for party success. MEN THE ISSUE of the great political parties in advocacy of almost identical p" concerning the control of grusts, and differing but slightl administrative principles and in executive procedure, the real i WITH both of the great political parties in the United States laying claim to the advocacy of almost identical principles involved in "paramount issues" concerning the control of great combinations of wealth, known as trusts, and differing but slightly and almost immaterially on other administrative principles and in proposed methods of legislative or executive procedure, the real issue of the present campaign becomes largely one of men and their probable respective weights and influence in connection with the conditions with which they will undoubtedly be surrounded even in spite of themselves. Secretary Taft has well earned the title of a conservative statesman. Throughout his whole able administration of the relative affairs of the United States in Cuba, in the Philippines and the management and direction of the vast affairs and interests of the army here at home, he has exhibited that quality upon which responsible people soon come to rely and which they call safe and sane conservatism. It is that quality which makes success in business a certainty, because of sound, steady plodding and the elimination of erratic display or jingo experiment. Upon the bench, as governor of a great state and in every official capacity, Mr. Taft has always been well poised, while assuredly able and progressive. The chief danger behind Mr. Bryan is his radical devotion to untried and unknown theories of government. All of his campaigns have been violent demands for more violent reforms. Governmental ideas, as new as they are breezy, form the greater part of his platform of principles, and these ideas have changed with each strenuous struggle that Mr. Bryan has made to reach the White House. The affairs of a great nation like ours will not stand, unaffected, the turmoil of violent political changes based alone upon theory and experiment. Financial and business depressions, involving panic and demoralization, must naturally follow legislative and administrative revolutions. And blind trust in any candidate, whose plea for reforms are not based upon principles which the people understand and hold settled convictions upon, is just as unwise as to take stock in the wildest gambling scheme ever proposed. This applies to all classes of people and all manner of interests. Mr. Bryan makes no candid expression to the Colored people of the United States, for his party would endorse only an expression adverse to the interests of Colored people. Mr. Taft does not fear to say clearly that he believes in protection, opportunity and progress for the Negro. Which shall we have? RACE NEWS DAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New York, Aug. 31. After several delays the monument for George Dixon, the late Negro boxer and one time champion feather weight of the world, has been erected and now stands on the corner of Thompson and Broome streets. The fund for it was collected through the efforts of Joe Humphreys, Young Corbett and Terry McGovern. On the inside wall, surrounded by a wreath, are the words: "In memory of George Dixon. Erected by his friends 1908." Hon. John H. Smythe, former Minister to Liberia and lately principal of the Virginia Reform School for boys in Hanover county in the Old Dominion, died Saturday at the home of his daughter in Richmond. He had been seriously ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Smythe was a man of strong force of character and exerted a powerful influence in politics in the days when the "Old Guard" was in flower. Oxford, Miss., Sept. 9.—Former United States Senator W. V. Sullivan is quoted as follows with reference to the lynching last night: "I led the mob which lynched Nelse Patton and I'm proud of it. I directed every movement of the mob and I did everything I could to see that he was lynched. "Cut a white woman's throat—and a Negro. I would not mind standing the consequences any time for lynching a man who cut a white woman's throat. I will lead a mob in such a case any time." The coroner's jury which conducted the inquest over the body of the Negro today declared in its verdict that death was at the hands of parties unknown to them. Washington, September 11. Sixty days in the workhouse for Aaron Winfield, colored, and confinement in the Florence Crittenden Home, pending sentence for Mary Winfield, a young white girl, who with the colored man was arrested on a serious charge late last night, was meted to the couple in Police Court this morning. The woman declares that Winfield is her husband, and brought with her to Court, following her arrest by Detective Fortney, a 7-months-old baby. The girl said she came from Virginia about two years ago and was employed in a home where Winfield worked as a butler. "When my baby was born I assumed his name," declared the girl this morning. On August 1 another Negro bank was opened at Durham, N.C., with a paid up capital of $10,000. The bank is to be known as the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank was chartered some months ago, and since then the new building in which the bank is opened has been built and the fixtures installed. In this same building is a colored tailoring establishment, a finely equipped barbershop, a nice cafe, and also the headquarters of the largest Negro insurance company in the world. Also there are the offices of four colored physicians, one lawyer, and the headquarters of the district grand secretary of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. In this building Negroes have invested more than $100,000 and carry on business enterprises that stretch out over a large number of Southern States. Richmond, Va., September, 8. Although the telephone system connecting several counties with Ashland and Richmond was constructed by J. T. Farley, a Negro, the charter to operate the system has been secured by white men. It is not due, however, to any lack of race loyalty on the part of the inventor that white men control the company. Repeated efforts were made on the part of Mr. Farley to have men of his race incorporate and operate a telephone company, but to no good purpose. So he applied to white men who readily saw the feasibility of investing in his invention. The company has secured a right of way in several of the counties of Virginia and is enjoying good business already. The management expects to make many thousands of dollars yearly. Mr. Farley has bought five shares of stock in the concern and has been made foreman to keep the lines in repair. Poseyville, Ind., Sept. 1.—Failing to get sufficient laborers to improve rock roads, a construction company here imported 50 Negroes The sentiment against Negroes at Poseyville is strong, and the first night they were in Poseyville notices were put under the door of the building where they were lodged, demanding that they leave the town at once or be dynamited. When the matter was reported to the town authorities they promptly put a guard about the house. The matter is the more serious because of the burning of the homes of John Lyles and other Negroes, and a threat to "burn out" his employer, S. A. Thomson, if the Negro is permitted to remain on the farm, in Gibson, near Poseyville. AS A NEGRO. Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 6.—Attempting to chastise his wife, whom he had followed in the disguise of a Negro, Elwell Smith was set upon by a number of white men, who believed it was a Negro assaulting a white woman and nearly lynched him before he could explain the ruse. He blackened his face with burnt cork and followed her. The wife denies having had any appointment and says she only stopped a white man to tell him she was being followed by a Negro. The husband, forgetting his disguise, walked up thinking this an appointment, and commenced assaulting both. Their cries brought a crowd, who set upon the black-faced man and all but lynched him. Indignation is high against such assaults here, because three women in the past few months have been assaulted by Negroes. Richest Church in the World. The Orthodox Church of Russia is said to be enormously rich. It is estimated that the national debt of Russia, which amounts to $1,000,000, could easily be paid by the church and yet leave it not altogether impoverished. One of its great sources of income is the sale of consecrated candles. Thus the Cathedral of Kasan, in St. Petersburg, during the last-Easter season, sold no fewer than 33,092 consecrated wax candles at prices ranging from three kopecks to one double apiece.

All the students seemed delighted to get back to Western University and meet the old familiar faces of their chum's and associates. The Colorado mothers and fathers have impressed their sons and daughters to take no back seat for any body, but lead everything and indications lead us to believe they will do it. ALLIANCE OPENS WITH LARGE CROWD SUNDAY. Fine Program for Next Sunday. Lawyer Stuart Addressed Body Also Rev. Mr. Ford. There was a large crowd at the Alliance and the remarks of Lawyer Stuart concerning the experiences of his recent trip to the Business League proved not only interesting, but quite witty at times. Many valuable suggestions were gleaned from the speech. The speaker of the hour, a former clergyman, was the next to entertain the audience with some historical events and happenings, as well as his impressions of the army while a guest of Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden of New York. He told how he became a real soldier and how he felt the pulse of the soldiers in their everyday life, especially as to their attitude toward Chaplain Gladden and how target practice was operated; how the "gentlemanly 24th" possessed a company of the best crack sharp shooters in the whole army; how he "experienced mess" with Chaplains Gladden and Ainsworth, together with the soldiers; about the high moral character to which the army is now being raised financially, physically and intellectually by the advent of graduates from Howard, Fiske, Clark and Walden colleges. His old and peculiar manner of portraying the difficult scenes made the events much more interesting and wholesome to digest. The afternoon could not have been more profitfully spent. The program for next Sunday is as follows: Music, Holley's Orchestra; paper, Mrs. Leona Troutman-Barbe; song, Clarence Clark; original poem, C. D. Clem, and selection from Miss Elsie Von Dickershon. For Rent- Two nicely furnished rooms; two gentlemen or man and wife preferred. Apply Mrs. D. Burns. Englewood, Colorado, Box 161 A. 'Phone Brown 1503.

It is hoped that every member and friend of Shorter will hand in their dollar money before the report is read. A. M. WARD. Pastor. BEN FIELDS SHOT. (From Goldfield Daily Tribnne.) A shooting scrape in a clothes cleaning shack on Ramsey, opposite the Consolidated office building, attracted a big crowd at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Miss Mayette Monday, colored, who is employed as a house servant, shot Ben Fields, also colored, and the owner of the store, who received a bullet in the fleshy portion of his right leg. A second shot grazed his right hand. It appears that the parties implicated had been intimate until recently. When the woman entered the shop she waa excited, and accused Fields of cruelty and neglect. Fields added insult to injury by applying offensive epithets to the visitor, who suddenly pulled herself away from the man, who was pounding her with his fists, and drew a gun and fired two shots in rapid succession. Deputy Sheriff Tom Rodgers wes quickly on the scene. When booked at the county jail her mouth was badly bruised and her face showed several bnumps. Fields was attended by Dr. Galloway. Miss Monday has the sympathy of the respectable colored population, who have raised a small purse for her. Local Notices.

The housekeeper who is ever on the alert for new wrinkles in keeping food fresh and sweet, should test for herself the power of fern leaves as a preservative. The consul general at Frankfort is responsible for the statement that ferns keep meat, fruit, butter and fish in a good condition longer than grape leaves, straw, or any other packing medium. They are much used to bring produce to the English markets and the Manxmen use them entirely to pack fresh herring for shipment. The high percentage of salt in the ferns appears to be responsible for their preservative qualities; and the strong odor of the leaves wards off maggots and prevent early decay. This is a good time for the house-keeper, who lives in the country, where ferns are plenty and where food must be stored in quantities, to try this remedy for herself. Potatoes and apples packed in ferns are said to keep many months longer than if stored in any other way. The garden vegetables, which are usually covered with straw until needed can have fern leaves put over them instead. Even fresh meat can be wrapped in them and kept longer without spoiling. If one fears to try all of her produce to an article known only by hearsay, experiment can be made with both mediums. Pack most of your things in the usual way, but reserve a little of each kind for the fern treatment. For a fair test the fruit or vegetable should be from the same stock, gathered at the same time, and packed under equal conditions of temperature. Baked Ham. Cover the ham with cold water and simmer gently just long enough to loosen the skin so that it can be pulled off. This will probably be from two to three hours, according to the size of your ham. When skinned, put in a dripping pan in the oven, pour over it a teacup of vinegar and one of hot water, in which dissolve a teaspoon of English mustard. Bake slowly, basting with the liquid, for two hours. Then cover the ham all over to the depth of one inch with coarse brown sugar, press it down firmly, and do not baste again until the sugar has formed a thick crust, which it will soon do in a slow oven. Let it remain an hour, after covering with the sugar, until it becomes a rich, golden brown. When done drain from the liquor in the pan and put on a dish to cool. When it is cool, but not cold, press by turning another flat dish on top, with a weight on it. You never will want to eat ham cooked in any other way when you have tasted this, and the pressing makes it cut firmly for sandwiches or slicing. To Make Excellent Yeast. Take two large mealy potatoes, after they have been cooked thoroughly, and press them through a fruit or lard press. Use about a quart of the water in which the potatoes have been boiled, stirring into it flour enough to make a fairly stiff batter, add one good, reliable yeast cake that has been previously soaked in a small amount of water and allow the whole mixture to stand until morning. It should be real light and fluffy. Stiffen it with white corn meal, roll and cut as for cookies, lay on a well floured board to dry, after which they should be kept out of the sun. They should be dried as quickly as possible, but not near a fire. The cakes may smell sour, but that will not hurt them. Wall Paper. Varnished wall paper should never be cleaned by rubbing with a flannel or cloth. Procure a good soft white-wash brush, which can be bought at any oil store, then have a bucket of clean, soft warm water, in which yellow soap has been lathered. Dip the brush into the water, slightly squeeze it, and commence rubbing gently from the bottom of the paper, working upward. You will thus have paper free from smears and the varnish uninjured. Green Corn Omelet. Take four good sized ears of corn, score the rows lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Mix with five well-beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of cream, one-third of a tablespoonful of salt and one-quarter of a tablespoonful of pepper. Heat a frying pan and drop into it a small tablespoonful of butter and shake until the bottom is evenly greased. Pour in the mixture, shake and tilt the pan until it is evenly cooked. Roll and serve quickly on a heated platter. Card Index Cook Book. Whenever you receive a new recipe from a friend or from the paper, do not write it on a loose sheet of paper and place it in a book where you probably never will be able to find it except when you don't want it. Instead, write the recipe on a new postal card and file them away in a box in alphabetical order, and reserve one card for an index. In a short time you will have a neat cook book, containing only tried and true recipes. Sewing on Skirt Braid. In replacing an old skirt braid or sewing on a new one after the skirt has been finished try the following method: Rip a place in the hem wide enough to insert a calling card and by slipping the card along between the outer and inner parts of the hem it will prevent the stitches from showing through on the outer side. This is of special benefit when sewing on the material. Let Him Off Easy. Lola—Last night Young Borem deciared he would willingly go to the ends of the earth for me. Grace—And what did you say?

One day, shortly after retiring from the governorship and returning to his home in Birmingham, he denounced his overalls and went to work in the garden. A society lady, a newcomer, entered the yard to call on Mrs. Johnston. Her ring at the door not being answered, she walked into the garden. "How long have you worked for the Johnstons?" she inquired of the man she found there. "A good many years, madam." "Do they pay you well?" "About all I get out of it is my clothes and my keep." "Why, then, come and work for me," she said. "I'll do that and pay you so much a month besides." "I thank you, madam," he replied, "but I signed up with Mrs. Johnston for life." "Why, no such contract is binding. That is peonage." "I have always called it marriage," replied the Senator.—Success Magazine. Some men treat their wives well, and some wives help themselves.

Thousands of pilgrims from the various outlying villages and other parts of the Hooghly district poured in from an early hour in the morning to the temples of Jagernath, says the Calcutta Statesman. The image of the god is placed on a conspicuous part of the temple, so that it can be viewed at an advantage by the immense crowd of pilgrims, and there at a certain fixed hour the bathing ceremony commences. The most curious part of the festival is that water is not poured on the image of the god until a certain small bird is found sitting on the topmost banner of the temple. There is a popular belief that the bird comes from Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrimage, to Maheoh on the day of this festival, and his very presence is an indication that the ceremony should commence. Immediately after the bath the bird disappears. Marine Insurance. Marine insurance is the oldest kind of modern insurance. Its principles were first employed in the fourteenth century by the merchants of Barcelona, in Spain, when that city was the capital of the kingdom of Catalonia and when its hardy mariners were second to none in the world. About the same time, and also at Barcelona, the famous code of maritime laws known as the "consulado del mar" was promulgated, which is the foundation of the present shipping laws of every country. AN INGENIOUS BEGGAR. Bought Crusoe's Firelock. Hulda B. White of Philadelphia has purchased the firelock used by Alexander Selkirk, Defoe's original Robinson Crusoe on the island of Juan Fernandez, at a sale in Edinburgh. The relic has an authentic pedigree, and for a long time was in the possession of Selkirk's relatives in Fife-shire, Scotland. The price paid for the gun was $160.

In cold weather some people think a cup of hot coffee good to help keep warm. So it is—for a short time but the drug—caffeine—acts on the heart to weaken the circulation and the reaction is to cause more chilliness. There is a hot wholesome drink which a Dak. girl found after a time, makes the blood warm and the heart strong. She says: "Having lived for five years in N. Dak., I have used considerable coffee owing to the cold climate. As a result I had a dull headache regularly, suffered from indigestion, and had no 'life' in me. "I was known as 'the pale girl,' and people thought I was just weakly. After a time I had heart trouble and became very nervous, never knew what it was to be real well. Took medicine but it never seemed to do any good. "Since being married my husband and I both have thought coffee was harming us and we would quit, only to begin again, although we felt it was the same as poison to us. "Then we got some Postum. Well, the effect was really wonderful. My complexion is clear now, headache gone, and I have a great deal of energy I had never known while drinking coffee. "I haven't been troubled with indigestion since using Postum, am not nervous, and need no medicine. We have a little girl and boy who both love Postum and thrive on it and Grape-Nuts."

IN THE LIMELIGHT OPPOSITION TO NEGRO OPPOSITION TO NEGRO Harvard graduate, and on the football team during his college days made a record which Massachusetts devotees of the gridiron game still recall with pleasure. On one Thanksgiving, particularly memorable in Cambridge, when the signs all pointed to an easy victory for Yale, Lewis was acting captain of the eleven and played himself to the verge of a collapse, winning for his team largely by his own desperate work. Born of slave parents in Virginia Lewis had some school opportunities of which he made the most. His father, after receiving freedom, became a Baptist preacher, and this gave the lad a chance to gratify his thirst for reading. When he came north he entered Amherst college, and went thence to Harvard. Locating in Cambridge City for the practice of law, he was elected to the city council and then to the state legislature. He obtained his appointment to his present position through the recommendation of President Roosevelt himself. TO JOIN "CLOSE CORPORATION" Washington society. The groom-to-be finds time during his never-ending trust hunt to keep himself in good standing as a member of the president's famous "tennis cabinet" and is a trusted adviser of the executive as well as an intimate friend. He is a millionaire and his public career began when, as a young lawyer of Hartford, Conn., he succeeded one "Bill Jones" as a ward captain. That aroused his thirst for political honors and he proceeded to achieve new honors in an unbroken list, beginning with chairman of the town committee and state legislator. In the latter position he won some attention for his uncompromising attitude toward the corporations and their lobbyists and attorneys. He was called to the president's attention by President Hadley of Yale college and engaged to assist James R. Garfield, then heading the corporations bureau, to prosecute the naughty trusts. He did so well that when his superior was taken into the cabinet Smith succeeded to the bureau position. There he has made a great name for himself, his fight against the Standard Oil being a particularly spectacular and interesting campaign. He is 39 years old and is believed to have a great future.

Upton Sinclair has been called the original muck-raker. He is a socialist, and afflicted with that uncontrollable spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction which has been judged a blessing or a handicap by different people. Born in Baltimore about 32 years ago, Mr. Sinclair paid his way through college with his pen. He has been a voluminous writer, having "done" an 80,000-word book at 17, and equaled Sir Walter Scott's entire output at 20. He lived in shanties and tents in upper Canada for four years to obtain material for "King Midas." During a period of bad luck he came close to starving in New York city, and then wove the story of his experiences into one of his best books, "The Journal of Arthur Stirling."

Lewis is to be appointed assistant attorney-general of the United States, according to the unofficial statement that has reached that department in Washington, and the news has created something of a tempest in official circles. Washington is pretty nearly a southern city, anyway, and a great share of its population is made up of former office-holders from southern states who have been loath to tear themselves away from the national city when their official salaries stopped. Moreover, many of the present office-holders are men of southern birth and ideas. Mr. Lewis is thoroughly qualified for the office. At present he is assistant United States attorney for the eastern district of Massachusetts, where he has made a good record. He is the football team during his college days made its devotees of the gridiron game still recall with living, particularly memorable in Cambridge, when easy victory for Yale, Lewis was acting captain himself to the verge of a collapse, winning for his superate work.

It is not expected that the new alliance of the commissioner will make it necessary for him to relinquish his position under Secretary-Garfield, although it may be said that he is to control nearly 50 per cent. of the holdings and stock of the new concern. The other half—or a trifle more—will be held by the other partner in the prospective combination. She is Miss Gertrude Elizabeth Dietrich, daughter of former Senator Dietrich of Nebraska.

MONEY MAGNATES Upton Sinclair, the irrepressible, has made his way into the limelight again with a new book, which seems certain to arouse as much comment across the country as have most of its predecessors—which is saying a great deal. This time Mr. Sinclair, in "The Money Changers," takes a fall or two out of Wall street and its group of all-powerful financial magnates. He has drawn a series of pictures of the money kings which are not the portraits those gentlemen are accustomed to seeing of themselves in the newspapers and magazines. The author announces that he expects and is prepared for a volley of indignant protests from the men he has put in the pages of his book under gauze masks. "I have affidavits and other unquestionable proof to substantiate itten," he asserts. Before the book was put in he had placed these affidavits in the hands of his protection in case of libel or slander suits from which he called the original muck-raker.

OF 10,000 BATTLES Every one of the nights upon which a newspaper goes to press is to a managing editor a Trafalgar or a Waterloo. Chester S. Lord, managing editor of the New York Sun, has fought and won approximately 10,000 of these battles. Some member of his staff once said that in each of these battles Mr. Lord had been arrayed against 10,000 demons of detail which go to make up the great army of nervous prostration. When Mr. Lord passed his twenty-fifth anniversary of service as managing editor of the Sun, in 1905, his staff gave him a dinner as a tribute of affection to "a supremely able man and a just and kindly man." Most managing editors of the big newspapers are buries in awe-inspiring offices and are but little known to their reporters.

Will Be Draped with Silk or Colored Chiffon Instead of Net—A Pretty Model in Brown. Many girls to whom the lingerie hats of the summer have been particularly becoming are loath to abandon these fascinatingly picturesque examples of the milliner's art for the stiffer and more conventional headgear which is usually shown for early autumn styles. The Charlotte Corday Of Brown Taffeta. shapes, especially those with high crowns and brims which are little drooping, are quite appropriate for wear in town after midsummer is past, and for best occasions will be worn BEST CARE OF VEILS. Can Be Cleansed Easily Even When Badly Soiled. If your veil is very much soiled it will not be a difficult matter to bring it back to its original newness. Make a strong lather of white soap, and simmer the veil in it for about a quarter of an hour. Rinse it in cold water carefully with a little liquid bluing. You can also add perfume to this water. Pass the veil through a thin gum arabic water, or water in which rice has been boiled, and clear it by shaking. Pin evenly on a linen cloth. When dry lay between a piece of thin muslin and iron on wrong side. To wash your black veil, pass it through hot water in which a small quantity of ox gall has been mixed, together with some perfume. Squeeze, but do not rub it. Rinse in cold water, putting bluing in the last rinse. Stiffen by dipping in a very thin glue water, made by pouring water on glue. Squeeze and shake out, and dry and iron on the wrong side, the same as the white veil. KITCHEN DONT'S Don't rinse laces in blued water under a mistaken notion that it will improve the color. It won't. Rinse in skimmed milk, which will give a soft, creamy tint. Don't fill an oil or any other kind of stove or lamp when it is lighted. This seems superfluous advice, but with the coming of hot weather cannot be too often repeated. Don't leave a gas stove with anything which may boil over—milk or soup—and extinguish the flame. Besides the loss of gas, there is danger of an explosion. Don't turn off the gas at the main, unless the taps are all off as well. Don't light the kitchen fire unless there is water in the boiler. If not, the rush of cold water is liable to crack the boiler. Mending Silk Stockings. Silk stockings are an expensive luxury. The first cost is considerable, and they do not stand hard wear. When the first stitch breaks their beauty is much impaired, if not actually destroyed. That one tiny break rapidly runs down the length of the stocking, and if not quickly mended the open strip speedily widens and the case is hopeless. The usual way of mending is to sew the raveled edges together with over and over stitch. This may stop furtherraveling, but even with the greatest care there will be a rough seam, very conspicuous on the plain part of the stocking, and most unsightly on any part. A better way, which only requires patience, is to pick up the stitches and crochet the edges together with a fine needle and fine silk of the same color. This seam then will never be noticed by anyone but the wearer. A Well Ordered Dinner Table. The most elegant and attractive dinner tables are seldom the most elaborate ones. Linen which has the gloss of good laundering, china and silver which shine from perfect care and a few flowers or a jardiniere of ferns in the center make a more impressive dinner table than the more elaborate ones ornamented with lace and ribbons and expensive centerpieces. through the autumn. To render these hats a little less summery looking, however, while they still preserve their picturesque effects, they are draped with silk or colored chiffon instead of net and mull, and they may be trimmed with ribbon, silk choux, or plumes instead of the floral garniture which has been so fashionable during the summer. The illustration shows a hat of this description made of dull finished chiffon taffeta in brown. The hat is precisely the same shape which has been so popular during the summer. The crown is covered with the silk, while the draperies of the same, as is also the large and dashing trimming at the side. A plaiting of the silk is used around the edge of the hat and beneath this there is a ruffle of coffee-colored lace. The hat is faced with shirred mousseline de sole in brown of the shade of the silk. A touch of color might well be added to this hat if it were meant to be worn with a gown all of one shade the same color in brown. But if the gown is to be of contrasting shades of color then it will not be necessary to have any bright touches in the hat. With a brown gown, for instance, which has a light waistcoat and coral-color trimmings the all brown hat would be more effective than one with a touch of coral in its trimmings. If the hat is to be worn with a tan gown trimmed with brown the all-brown would also be more effective. For general wear, with a variety of different costumes, there is nothing more useful than a hat all in brown either of different shades or in monotone. But if the hat is to be worn with a rather dull brown costume, it is best to give it a touch of brightness, unless brown is singularly becoming to the wearer. MISSES' SHIRT-WAIST SUITS. An Attractive School Gown for the Young Girl. Nothing is more serviceable for the young girl not yet out of the schoolroom than a jaunty shirt-waist costume which answers all requirements for every-day wear and which is usually so becoming to the undeveloped figure. Tobacco-brown mohair has been, used for the one illustrated, which is trimmed with collar and cuffs of tan-colored taffeta silk, and fastened with battons of similar silk. The waist is tucked either side of the 1 Pretty School Frock. front, stitched to within a few inches of the bust line, and the back has two wide tucks, stitched from shoulder to waist line. The skirt is a two-piece circular model with an inverted box-plait at the center-back seam, and fitted to the waist line by darts over each hip. For a miss of 15 years the skirt requires four yards of material 20 inches wide, $3\frac{3}{4}$ yards 27 inches wide, $2\frac{3}{4}$ yards 36 inches wide, or two yards 42 inches wide. For a miss of 15 years the skirt requires $6\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 20 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 36 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards 42 inches wide, or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 54 inches wide. Pouched Bodices Return. There are indications of the return of the pouching bodice. In Paris a number of the new bodice models show the front pouched, ever so slightly, to be sure, but still pouched, and at the Goodwood races a number of corsages of that order were noted. The slightly pouched front is becoming to most figures, tending to conceal both redundances and deficiencies, and then, too, there is more room and ease across the chest. In short, the pouched front is comfortable as well as becoming, when the fullness is only slight and is drawn toward the center of the figure.

Phone 7039 SAVINGS THAT MAY BE EFFECTED BY THE HOUSEWIFE. How to Mend Holes in Agateware—Renewing Shrunken Wool Union Suits—Effectively Removing Shine from Garments. To Mend Agateware.—When an ag-gravating hole suddenly appears in an agate or porcelain lined stew pan, do not throw it away as past redemption. Take one of the round headed paper fasteners, such as lawyers of teachers are in the habit of using to keep the sheets of a manuscript together; push the two level flat clips through the hole from the inside; bend back on the outside; then, laying the basin on a hard substance, hammer the round head down flat on the inside, and it will last a long time. Save Gas When Cooking.—To save expense when using a gas stove have a piece of sheet iron large enough to cover the top of the stove and turn on only one burner. The heat will be diffused enough to cook a whole dinner. This also solves the problem of keeping things hot on a gas stove. Hard Soap Lasts Longer.—Keep a supply of laundry soap and remove wrappers so the soap will become hard before using. It will last twice as long as when used fresh and soft. Economy in Shoes.—When white kid slippers have become too soiled to admit of cleaning, have a cobbler dye them black and then polish with dull polish. They are soft and comfortable and make a neat looking house shoe. Renew Wool Union Suits.—Wool union suits that have become too small through shrinkage can be made almost as good as new. Cut the suit in half around the waist line. Buy a skein of wool yarn the color of the suit and crochet a common stitch on to the waist part, row after row, until you think you have the desired length of garment. Then join this with the same stitch on to the trouser part and you will have a suit which can be worn a few more seasons. Use for Old Yarn.—All the odds and ends of yarn about the house can be put to good use by crocheting them together, using the chain stitch. Lay in loops about eight inches long. Tie in the center with a bow of ribbon and attach this to a smooth stick. This makes an attractive duster for the nursery. Use Crusts of Bread.—The crusts of bread may be cut in blocks, browned in the oven, and put aside to serve with soups. They may also be used in scalloped dishes, as scalloped tomatoes and cabbage. Dry the unsightly and rougher pieces, then grind and use for breading. Remove Shine of Garments.—Gloss and shine may be effectively removed from garments by rubbing emery paper against the fabric hard enough to raise the nap. This will not injure the goods, and will greatly improve the appearance of the garment, making it look almost as good as new. Resole Bathing Shoes.—Many persons at this stage of the summer find the canvas covering of the soles of their bathing shoes worn through and the inner cork soles falling out. Take a piece of drilling and cut it out the size of the soles, push the cork sole into place, and cover it with the drilling by whipping the turned in edges of the drilling to the top of the shoe. To Protect Baby's Clothes.—Make a bag of any wash material; cut armholes in one side of it and holes in the end for baby's feet to pass through. Run a drawstring through the top, which will gather to fit the neck. When baby is dressed for the day slip this over its other clothes. It is of invaluable benefit as a saving to the clothing of a creeping child. A Novel Bread Knife. Among the exhibits at the Jamesstown exposition was a powerful paper cutter—such as is used to clamp down magazines and trim the edges. And one domestically inclined visitor, her mind more on her home and her kitchen than on the Graphic Arts, remarked as she looked at it: "John, I do wish you'd buy me that cutter; it would come in so handy for cuttin' bread at harvest time." To Reduce Waist Measure. Deep breathing will help reduce the waist measure and enlarge the bust. The stretching exercises, too, are splendid as waist depleters. Raise the arms high above the head; then, holding the knees straight, try to touch the floor with the fingertips. Stand erect, place hands on hips, bend from waist as far as possible to the right, then to the left. Cake Custard. Soak a coffee cupful or less of the cake left over from the pudding in a sufficient quantity of milk to nearly fill a small pudding dish. Beat two eggs with a cupful of sugar; add to mixture with any desired flavoring. Put in a small quantity of raisins, currants or citron and bake until brown. Serve with cream. Poultice for a Boil. An excellent poultice for a boil or gathering is made by pounding the leaves of the common garden pulse with clean lard and adding a few drops of laudanum. Anoint the boil with this poultice. For the offensive breath it would be well to use a mouth wash. A good recipe is: Oil of sage, $2\frac{1}{4}$ fluid drams; oil of lemon, $1\frac{1}{4}$ fluid drams; alcohol, $6\frac{1}{2}$ fluid ounces; water, $25\frac{1}{2}$ fluid ounces.
