LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY A TRIBUTE TO NEGROES From the Pen of Mr. Merritt Moore, who Believes in Justice and Fair Play to all. Says the Social Equality Problem will Take Care of Itself. VOL. XV. A TRIB TO N From the Pen of Mr. Merritt tice and Fair Play to all. ity Problem will In a high tribute to Negroes of Denver Mr. Merritt Moore had the following to say in a recent issue of the Rocky Mountain News: am glad to believe that every true American citizen believes down deep in his heart in justice and fair play. This applies to all classes of citizens, and to every nationality. During the past two months I have been in close touch with the colored people of Dever have met them in their homes and on the street, have attended several of their churches, have met them in conference where questions of social, civic, state and national interests were involved: have met several of their professional men, lawyers, doctors, poets and lecturers, graduates of colleges, writers of ability and the like—and I can honestly say they have acquitted themselves in the main as well as any like number of white people would have done. That they are handicapped because of the cruel and senseless prejudice against color goes without saying, and yet, in spite of this drawback, their achievements are really remarkable. With scarcely a dollar to begin with forty years ago, they are credited with having accumulated not less than $300,000,000 worth of property. In one town in Missouri 70 per cent of the colored people own their own homes and pay taxes upon them. In the same city during the winter of 1907-08, not a colored person applied for charity, and what was still further to their credit, not one was arrested for crime. Calvin township, Berrien county Michigan, was settled up forty years ago by colored people who had just emerged from slavery. They constituted such a large majority of the people of that township that all the offices were held by colored men—such as supervisor, assessor, town clerk, justice of the peace and constable—all the business of the township was performed by colored men. For years it was the pride of the people of Calvin township to be the first to collect and forward its tax levy to the county treasurer, which it did for many years. These men large- ly owned their farms, lived in good houses, kept their premises neat and tidy, and accumulated comfortable fortunes. Some of them were worth $50,000. These may be regarded as exceptional, but they can be paralleled in other localities, and prove the possibilities of the race. I am fully satisfied that a more sympathetic acquaintance between the races is not only just and right, but that it is in every way desirable. There are many colored people whom we may feel honored to know and to count as our friends. Some might object to this for fear of its tendency toward social equality. That question will take care of itself. There are multitudes of white men and woman whom no self-respecting person would recognize as an equal socially or otherwise. Character is a safe and sane standard by which we can discriminate between the worthy and the unworthy. The color of the skin does not determine the character, and therefore is not a safe guide to follow. A sober, industrious Negro, who is doing his best to earn an honest living, and is trying to add to his store of knowledge is certainly worthy of encouragement, and the man who would snub such a one is lacking in the essentials of true manhood himself. I wonder if any one has ever realized what a help it is to have a word of encouragement from our friends when we undertake a difficult or untried task. How much more difficult the task becomes when our efforts are derided and we are told that we are sure to fail in our undertaking. Colored people are similarly affected by praise or blame. So long however as we hold ourselves aloof from them we cannot give the encouragement word, bestow upon them the kindly smile and the friendly recognition which means so much to the one who has heavy burdens to bear. People hunger for sympathy as much as they do for food. This sympathy is an inspiration to him who bestows it and to him who receives it. We defraud ourselves when we withhold it. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1908. I want to assure the colored people of Denver of my unqualified friendship, regardless of their political affiliations, for I am interested in the elevation and bet terment of the condition of the race as a whole. Some time I may supplement this article with one of a somewhat different character—one which will point out some faults in the character of the colored people, but none the less having for its purpose the benefit of the race. WATCH AND PRAY Our people have more real cause to do actual watching and praying than any other race, for it does seem that all nations on earth are combined against the Afro-Americans. Why this should be so, none save the God of Heaven knows. The white press of the country, with few exceptions, invariably holds the entire Negro race responsible for the short-comings and evil deeds done by the thriftness and thoughtless element of the race; when to tell the truth, the Negro who does the devilment is one who doesn't read, in many cases totally illiterate; in short, we cannot reach him either by the press nor the pulpit. This is a problem to be solved. We trust that some method may be put in force, by which this class of our people can be reached. If they will not be induced by persuasion to places of enlightment, to read instructions of the best Negro Journals, then some method by force, ought to be put into operation. No people can hope to rise high in the scales of intelligence, thrift, and responsibilities as long as they are surrounded by ignorance, indolence, and depravity.—Reformer. AFRAID OF THE DEAD Walter Jackson, a colored man who resides in Chicago, was given a job at $18.00 per week in that city the other day, and he went at his work feeling most pleasantly. Several hours later, when he had been herded up and his teeth had stopped chattering long enough to permit articulation, he resigned. The John H. Drake Company advertised for a porter. The firm operates a big anatomical laboratory, and, among other specialties articulates skeletons for physicians and medical schools. This process necessitates the removal of the flesh from the skull and bones before they are wired together. After Johnson had accepted his position, he was told to go to the fifth floor and 'clean up." He supposed this meant to sweep and scrub, and went about the task gayly, for $18 per is not so bad for a colored man in these times. The first thing he stumbled upon was a bucket containing two Negro heads, and as he fell back in horror, he upset a long basket out of which rolled seven white heads. With a yell that woke up the entire West Side, Jackson promptly fell down two flights, jumped down two more, burst open a door and rolled into the street. For some time thereafter he was running in circles, until he was rounded up. "No, sah; no, sah!" he vociferated. "You kin pile al of Jawn D. Rockfeller's milyuns up on dat flo' and tell me ter he'p myse'f, and I ain't gwine near. Ah suttenly thought Ah had er swell job, but Ah gives it up!" Later in the day a stolid Swede secured the job.—Exchange. RACE NEWS GAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES George Nichols a very progressive member of the race is conducting a coffee and tea store in St. Paul, he is meeting with great success. Joseph J. Allen, one of the oldest letter carriers in St. Paul, Minn., died last week, this leaves twelve colored men in the post-office whose yearly salary amounts to $12,300. The Negro farmers in the South own in their own right, and according to statistics, over 173,000 farms and are in charge of 746,000 farms including those which they control as tenants. A colored daily newspaper will be started in Chattanooga, Tenn., to be known as "The Afro-American" under the management of Harvey Anderson, owner. We wish and prophesy for him success in his new undertaking. Pittsburg, Pa., has a Negro mercantile company known as the United Shoe Co., and its entire capital stock is owned by 24 colored people. W. H. Simms is president and manager; J. A. Brenham treasurer, and W. A. Gibbs, stock keeper. In Greenville, Miss., the leading city of the Delta County, the only book store and stationary business is owned and conducted by Granville Carter, a colored man.' His stock is as large as any of its kind anywhere in the state, and his customers are of the finest families of both races in the city and county. Mr. Thomas J. Hilliard of the city of Baltimore, Md., conducts a successful house-furnishing business that is over one hundred years old. It was established by his grandfather. Mr. Hilliard began as a boy, nearly half a century ago when he helped his mother to sell her wares. He is a prominent member of the local Negro Business League. In Greenville, Miss., the leading city of the Delta county, the only book store and stationery business is owned and conducted by Granville Carter, a colored man. His stock is as large as any of its kind anywhere in the state, and his customers are of the finest families of both races in city and country. Cleveland is about to acquire a new building which its owner, Mr. S. C. Green, says will be the finest of its kind owned and operated by Negroes anywhere between New York and Chicago. The dance hall will have the finest floor that money can buy. The building will be three stories high, will contain suites on the second and third floors, and will cost $40,000. The majority of the Negroes in Georgia are tillers of the soil and very successful ones at that. According to the Georgia records, of the 224,300 farms in the State. Seventy-two Negroes own more than 1,000 acres each, 368 acres own between 500 and 1,000 acres each, 3,540 own between 175 and 270 acres each, 10,372 own between 100 and 175 acres each, 16,076 own between 20 and 50 acres each. This is a creditabe showing indeed. Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 17. Judge Perkins, in the Kent Circuit Court today issued a mandamus directing the Grand Rapids Veterinary College to accept the entrance applications of Felix D. Booker and Wesley D. McCoy, colored students. They were refused admission at the opening of school this year, the color line being drawn against them Judge Perkins held that the college, being a public institution, had no right to discriminate. Baltimore, Nov. 16th.—Nine of the State buildings and the Richmond city building at the James-town Exposition have been bought by the receivers from Cook & Co., for $30,500. The structures cost to build about $175,000. The receivers purchased them, that the portion of the exposition gounds on which they stand, which it is proposed to sell to the government for a naval training station, may not be incumbered. The State buildings are: The North Carolina, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan. When the colored race learns to NO. 10 confide in the best in their race, they can expect the other races to trust and confide in them. When the race learns to patronize their own people in business, all things being equal, very soon they will have business concerns that will be able to furnish employment to their boys and girls. The colored race must learn that one Afro-American that is worth one million dollars is more valuable to the race than one million of their people who possess only one dollar. Portland Advocate. French Gray, a colored man of Lathan, Alabama, who is said to be 103 years old, donated to the Dooley Normal and Industrial Institute at Daphne, Ala., 120 acres of land valued at more than $2,000 and said that he wanted it understood that in this he is helping his race. This institution seems to be making great success under the direction of Prof James Dooley, the founder, and now has fifty-one students. The trustees of this institution have been made administrators of Mr. Gray's remaining property, which consists of about 340 acres. George W. Rowe of Dallas, Texas, is interesting his friends in a mining proposition in the Guanajuata gold fields in Mexico. The three mines include eighty acres and are the property of G. W. Carter, a wealthy colored man formerly of San Antonia, who is desirous of having his own race interested in what is expected to be a rich investment. Many whites and Mexicans have attempted to buy shares in these undeveloped mines, but it is desired that the company be strickly colored. Quite a number of prominent Texans already interested in these mines are Dr. J. S. Cameron. Lieut. Jeffers, L. W. Greenly, Geo. Winn, Dr. J. T. Walton, J. D. Lowery and others. Colored men with any money to invest can see Mr. Rowe. Allensworth, Cal., is a new Negro town already surveyed. It is now being populated and built by a Negro company in honor of whose president, Col. Allensworth, the town is named. The site of the new city is on the main line of the Santa Fe railroad and seven miles west of the Southern Pacific at a point about half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and in one of the most fertile parts of the San Joaquin valley. The land possesses an inexhaustible water supply, and produces as good oranges, grapes, and sugar beets as can be raised in the state. Blackberries, sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes and alfalfa grow luxuriantly there, and the country is rapidly becoming one of the greatest dairying sections of California.

Denver—Two hundred thgusand acres of land as fertile as any now producing big crops of sugar beets and potatoes, but which now lies above ditches, will be reclaimed in the vi- cinity of Windsor, Fort Collins and Greeley when the Northern Colorado Power Company conpletes its exten- sion plans. The management an- nounces it has completed arrange- ments to spend $500,000 in the con- struction of transmission lines in the northern part of the state which will supply power to pump water for an immense acreage and make possible the settlement of districts given over to pasture or sage brush. Windsor will be the center of a line of 2,300 voltage and many pumping lines will radiate from there. Thirty- eight additionai miles of transmission lines will be ready to raise water for the irrigation season of 1909. The un- derflow of vast capacity will be raised /by electric pumps and distributed at minimum cost. Fifteen pumping plants have been contracted for near Windsor. : President W. J. Barker announced that work was begun Monday on a new substation at Windsor, which will give the town a modern electric light and power service. Current at 44,000 volts, sixty cycles, three phase will be sup- plied from the Louisville power plant and transformed in the substation to 2,300 yolts and distributed throughout the town to local transformers, where it will be stepped down to 110 and 220 volts for light and power. The cost of installation will be $25900. That will be a portion of nearly $500,000 to be spent in that vicinity in developing the country’s resources. ‘Officiala of Forestry Service.

The Chamber of Commerce, Traffic Club, Real Estate Exchange, Rein TAS ee Eee oe CONFESSION OF A WOMAN MUR- * DERER CREATES MOST TRE- MENDOUS SENSATION. MADAME STEINHEIL ACCUSED OF HAVING POISONED PRESI- DENT FAURE. Paris—The arrest of Mme. Stein- heil Thursday night, following her -confession that for months since the murder of her painter husband and Mme. Japy, who were found strangled in the home of the artist on the morn- ing of May 3ist, her attempts to find. the assassins and the innumerable fan- tastic clews furnished the police and the newspapers, were only a desper- ate farce to conceal the real author of the crime, whom she knew, affords Paris the biggest sensation it has had for years. The excitement produced from time to time by the Humbert, Dreyfus and Syyeton affairs pales into insignifi- ance by comparison and the revela- tions which crowded thick and fast during the day, pointing to the possi- ble exposure of a national scandal, promise to attract world-wide atten- tion. Unprecedented. scenes were wit- nessed at the palace of justice Thurs- day while the woman was under ex- amination, guards being required to restrain the crowds from entering. On the boulevards men fought for special editions of newspapers containing ac- counts of the case, while in the lob- bies of Parliament the” Nationalists created d hubbub by threatening to call the government to account unless orders were given immediately to probe the scandal to the bottom. Political opponents of the govern- ment like Henri Rochefort, have been trying to make political capital of the affair by seeking to force an exposure of the scandals connected with the mysterious death of Felix Faure, presi- dent of the republic, in 1899. Al- though hushed up at the time, tt was common knowledge among those be- hind the scenes that Mme. Steinheil was with M. Faure at the Elysee pal- age when he died. The Anti-Semite Libre Parole charges Mme. Steinheil with hay- ing poisoned President Faure. ‘The newspapers recall that on the day of the funeral a writer on the Libre Parole who had seen the body, said: “All the skill of the embalmers was ‘unable to preserve the corpse from the dissolvent action of the subtle poison.” Great Foolball Games, Denver—Football held Denver and the state in a mighty grip yesterday. From early morning the streets were throaged with college people—alumni, students and just natural enthusiasts, all intent on seeing the game at Broad. way Park, where the sturdy warriors of the University of Colorado closed their intercollegiate season by defeat. ing the School of Mines 15 to 0. At Colorado Springs by a hard-earned vie: tory of 6 to 4 over Colorado College, the fighting eleven from the Univer sity of Denver carried off all football honors for the season of 1908, includ- ing not only the intercollegiate cham- pionship of Colorado, but also cham. pionship of the inter-Rocky Mountain region, ‘Dorande Wine the Marathon.

He proved to be Hayes’ master Wednesday night, as he held the lead almost from start to finish, finally win- ning by about fifty yards. Hayes was in the lead five times during the race, but only for a few seconds each time. Dorando’s time was 2:44:20 2-5 and Hayes’ 2:45:05 1-5. Monument to Phil Sheridan.

BATTLING NELSON was refused accommodations in Philadelphia's swellest hotel the other day, and his pride was awfully hurt. But "Bat" can console himself with the thought that Jack Johnson or Joe Gans would probably be just as promptly refused at the same hostelry without any intentional slight upon the profession. When Nelson goes to Baltimore he can feel assured that he will be met by no such snobbery as this when he puts his fist on the big book at the "Goldfield." THE LIFE FORFEIT TENNESSEE is fast forging to the front as a state whose record of violent and bloody crime is almost unapproachable. Her lynchings, her night rider crimes and her deadly political feuds have placed her almost beyond the mark made by her notorious sister, Kentucky. The vicious radicalism of so-called great men is responsible for the bloody records of many of the Southern states, and this is true of none more than of Tennessee. About a dozen years ago, E. W. Carmack was the fiery editor of a rabid newspaper published at Memphis, and his teachings were largely responsible for one of the most shocking lynchings that ever occurred in the South. His intolerance and hatred of the progressive Negro found almost constant expression in his newspaper, and in this manner he became prominent. He aspired to the office of United States Senator, and after one defeat reached that goal. He took his fire brands with him to Washington and fought the Negro with them whenever the opportunity presented. He was among those who attempted to grill Senator Foraker in the last session of Congress when the Ohio Senator made his famous and exhaustive fight in behalf of the Negro soldiers who were discharged from the army in disgrace, because of the Brownsville incident. He was bitter when Senator Tillman was passive. His term expired with the last Congress and he returned to rabid journalism in Tennessee. His drastic habits sought exercise in new political channels and he loomed up as a leader of the temperance reform elements. It is always strange how the morals of the most of these vigorous Southern leaders are mixed, for the moralist and the feudist are often one. Two weeks ago Senator Carmack was shot and killed in a pistol duel in the streets of Nashville, by another prominent Tennesseean whose father had been repeatedly attacked in the Carmack newspaper. The fate of many a Negro which he had approved, and which he had predicted for many more, became his own. But the temperance people of Tennessee, shocked by this tragic ending of a prominent life, are inconsolable. They will make the tragedy a political issue and will build a monument to Carmack's memory. These are the outlines of a picture of surging life in Tennessee—The Life Forfeit. In the back ground, however, there are thousands of inoffensive black citizens who are shedding no tears over Carmack's taking off. THE COURT OF LAST DESPAIR THROUGHOUT the recent campaign we argued earnestly and seriously against the elevation of Mr. Bryan to the presidency of the United States, on the ground that he would have the appointment of many new justices of the United States Supreme Court and of the circuit and district courts, wherein vacancies would occur during the next presidential term. We expressed the fear that a preponderance of Democratic justices presiding over these courts would make impossible a just interpretation of those unjust laws which the South, especially, is striving to make a permanent and decisive part of our national jurisprudence. It appears now that we might have saved our time and space on this score, so far as concerns the inference that Democratic failure would insure justice to the Negro, for the present United States Supreme Court Bench seems to be as deeply inoculated with the virus of race prejudice as any tribunal in a free country could possibly be. In less than one week after election, in deciding the case of Berea College against the State of Kentucky, the Supreme Court held that the states may legislate to prevent the co-education of the white and Negro races, thereby approving the law in this case which makes it a felony for any person to teach white and colored pupils in the same school in any part of Kentucky. No matter what local conditions may be, this decision virtually seals the poor and isolated Negro in his ignorance, so far as Kentucky is concerned, and practically throughout the South and possibly elsewhere. The Supreme Court, under any political color, influenced as it undoubtedly is by strong Southern sentiment, seems bent upon the judicial separation of the races in the United States, regardless of all constitutional endowments and qualifications of citizenship. The idea that one citizen has the same rights as another in a republic, and cannot by any special or invidious device be robbed of those rights, is now altogether fallacious in the United States. A minority of what citizens in Mississippi may limit the rights of a black majority. But suppose that in the process of long improvement Negro intelligence should finally dominate one state in this union and should be unjust enough to legislate to perpetuate its own dominant power, would a white Supreme Court of any political color uphold such legislation as constitutional and just? But such a day cannot be foreseen. The races must get apart and stay apart because the Negro must always stay under. This is the law of a free people. Deadlier Foe to Hunters Than Lions or Elephants By BARON A. B. D'ALTOMONTE, Hunter, and Former Commandant of Police of Congo Free State. The most redoubtable dangers to the hunter in East Africa are not the ones due directly to hunting. It is not the assault of the wounded lion, not the destructive rush of the rhinoceros or the elephant, not the attack of the hippopotamus. Neither are the fangs of the crocodile to be feared. No, all these dangers, more or less exaggerated by African travelers, are avoidable and become almost nothing by the skill and cold blood of the brave hunter. Theodore Roosevelt is all of this. No, the real, the terrible, the unavoidable danger is the African fever. Very few white people can say that they have visited the center of Africa without having fallen ill with this terrible disease. Among thousands of explorers and hunters hardly any have been spared from it, and these for some special reasons or for an extraordinary physical con- The most redoubtable dangers to the hunter in East Africa are not the ones due directly to hunting. It is not the assault of the wounded lion, not the destructive rush of the rhinoceros or the elephant, not the attack of the hippopotamus. Neither are the fangs of the crocodile to be feared. No, all these dangers, more or less exaggerated by African travelers, are avoidable and become almost nothing by the skill and cold blood of the brave hunter. Theodore Roosevelt is all of this. No, the real, the terrible, the unavoidable danger is the African fever. Very few white people can say that they have visited the center of Africa without having fallen ill with this terrible disease. Among thousands of explorers and hunters hardly any have been spared from it, and these for some special reasons or for an extraordinary physical constitution. Dr. Henry Drummond, one of the most intelligent African travelers, speaking of this, says: "I never knew of a white man who lived in Central Africa three months without a dangerous attack of the fever." The same is repeated by Maj. Charles Lemaire, the famous Belgian explorer, and by James Edward Alexander, Henry Rowley, C. D. Lamphugh and William Walter Fitzgerald—men that have crossed Africa several times and have explored East Africa. All agree to the fact that nobody, under normal conditions, can be spared from the fever. Malarial fever is the one sad certainty which every African traveler must face. For six, seven or eight weeks he may escape, but its finger will surely fall upon him. It is preceded for some time, even for three or four weeks, by unaccountable irritability and weakness. On the march with his men, he has scarcely started when he sighs for the noonday rest. Putting it down to mere laziness, he goads himself on by draughts from his water bottle and totters forward a mile or two more. Next, in the full excitement of an interesting hunt, he breaks down, and fails to shoot the splendid antelope he had at short range; then he finds himself skulking into the forest on the pretext of looking at a specimen, and when his porters and his companions are out of sight throws himself under a tree in utter limpness and despair. Roused by mere shame, he staggers along the trail, and as he nears the midday camp he puts on a spurt to conceal his defeat, which finishes him for the rest of the day. This goes on till the crash comes—first cold and pain, then heat and pain, then every kind of pain, then every degree of heat, then delirium, then the life and death struggle. He rises, if he does rise, a shadow, and slowly accumulates strength for the next attack, which, he knows too well, will not disappoint him. No one has ever yet solved African fever. Its geographical distribution is unmapped, but generally it prevails over the whole east and west coasts, within the tropical limits; along all the river courses; on the shores of the inland lakes and in all low-lying and marshy districts. The higher plateaus are comparatively free from fever. Andrew Carnegie says that the supply of iron ore, and consequently of steel, will be exhausted in 1940. James J. Hill foresees the end of iron ore production in 40 years. John Hays Hammond, until the first of this year the highest salaried expert in the world, makes the statement, predicted upon the known deposits of ore, that the culmination of our mining industry is to be reckoned in decades, and its declension, if not practical economic exhaustion, in generations. These three opinions are all official, as they were voiced at the gov- America Facing Steel Famine By WILLIAM DINWIDDIE. The life of a steel building without repairs is calculated at 100 years. An iron clamp on the Brooklyn bridge, which was finished only in 1883, broke from the terrific strain three or four years ago. How are we to repair our towering skyscrapers, bridges, subways, piers with the passing of the production of iron? Will that celebrated word picture of Lord Macaulay, in which he describes a future traveler as standing on a broken arch of London bridge, in the midst of a vast solitude, sketching the ruins of St. Paul's, be fulfilled of New York? A great geologist once said: "That nations that have coal and iron will rule the world." A modern nation rules and protects its colonies by means of its battleships, just as the Roman empire was held together centuries ago by means of its magnificent legions. How are we to build more battleships when our supply of iron is no more? This country has developed into a world power of the first importance, but in order to retain what it has gained in the surprisingly short time of a hundred years it must conserve its natural resources to the point of parsimony. That the exhaustion of the supply of our iron ore is no idle apprehension is proved by the actual figures of the latest trustworthy estimates of our present stock quoted by Mr. Carnegie. He says that there are "for the Lake Superior district about 1,500,000,000 tons; for the southern district (including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia), about 2,500,000,000 tons, and for the rest of the United States 5,000,000,000 to 7,000,000,000 tons, making an aggregate of about 10,000,000,000 tons. "Our highest grade ore is that of the Lake Superior district, which yields about four-fifths of the current production. In 1905 its yield was over 33,000,000 tons, in 1906 some 38,000,000 tons, and in 1907 nearly 44,000,000 tons. By the end of the present decade it will average 50,000,-000 tons or more. Even without further increase the known supply will be exhausted before 1940." If water transportation were to be substituted for rail transportation wherever possible, it would delay the fulfillment of this melancholy prophecy until perhaps concrete buildings, for which we have sufficient material to duplicate all the cities of the United States, have come into more general use, or until sufficient advance has been made in the study of metal alloying to stop the vast waste of inferior ores. We have seen that it takes practically an equal weight of metal to move 1,000 tons of heavy freight ten miles by rail. The same freight may be moved by water by means of 100 or 250 tons of metal, so that the substitution of water-carriage would reduce the consumption of iron by three-fourths to seven-eighths in this department, where more metal is used than in any other Webre Musical Pianos Pianola- Pianos, Edison and Victor Talking Machines sold on very easy payments.

Miss Lizzie Edward entertained a few friends last week at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Williams of 601 Lafayette street. The parlors as was also the table was very tastefully decorated with flowers, while the menu was of a variety of the best eatables in the market. The affair was in charge of Mrs. Minnie Paul, whose superb ability cannot be surpassed. It was an evening of bliss and will long so be remembered by those who enjoyed the hospitality of Miss Edward, the charming hostess. We have many causes to be thankful for Thursday, the day of thanks, as we were beautifully remembered on that occasion. It was A. L. Rice of Florence, Colo., who remembered us with a twenty-one pound bird to help make out our Thanksgiving menu. It was not a rice bird, but a big turkey gobler and it will be some time before it is all gobbled up. Mr. Rice accept our many thanks for your kind remembrance. C. E.

In fact it was a realm of mirth from start to finish. At the proper time the guests gathered around an extension table beautifully decorated with American Beauties, chrysanthemums and various other varieties of botany, and the glow of the lighted candelabras made the scene a spectacle of splendor, while the little ones enjoyed a repast of everything in Remember J.

Johnson's Mighty Modern Minstrels at East Turner hall, Thursday, December 3rd. ALL STAR MINSTRELS. The All Star minstrels which played to a full house at East Turner hall Thursday night of last week, has been the theme of laudable comment for the past week, and it is all from a standpoint of just merit. That they excelled even those with a reputation in the professional class goes without saying. Every character was a star and convinced the big audience of their superb entertaining qualities. The show was produced by Rice & Collins, with H. W. Hinkle as manager, Curtis M. Harris, stage manager, Wm. A. Rice, advance agent, and J. C. Harris, musical director. The performers were Messrs. Thos. Wilson, Eugene Montgomery, J. A. S. Brown, Charles Wilson, Jas. Hickman, Harry Gilmore, Wm. Hood, Nannie Nee, Sim Edwards, Jas. Grey, Wm. Burns, George Ray, Wing Jackson, Dewey the Dancing Kid, Curtis M. Harris and Leon Pryor. To give a personal mention of them is but to say that each performed far beyond the expectation of the admiring crowd. The young men has the heartiest congratulations of the COLORADO STATESMAN for their exquisite achievements in the amusement arena, as has also the promoters and managers of the affair. H. W. Hinkle, who has never been surpassed in managing successful entertainments, is due no small amount of credit for its financial success. Mr. Hinkle is like the late P. T. Barnum—a believer in printers' ink—or in other words advertising, for which he has our many thanks for his patronage in this respect to this paper.

These figures show that, unless radical changes are made in the Denver vote by the official canvass, the entire Democratic ticket is elected, from the presidential electors to the university regents and including the three congressmen. In many instances the vote will be extremely close; in others the Democratic candidates will go into office with comfortable majorities. With but one or two exceptions the Republican candidates came to Denver with a plurality. The Democratic landslide in Denver, however, was so great as to offset this lead and there is now no doubt as to the successful candidates. Bryan's plurality in Denver on the face of the unofficial returns is 3,307. If this is not changed by the official canvass his plurality in Colorado will be 3,190. Shafroth's plurality in Denver on the face of the unofficial returns is 7,452. If this is not changed by the official canvass his plurality in the entire state will be 115. Taylor's plurality in Denver on the face of the unofficial returns is 7,679. If this is not changed by the official canvass his plurality in the entire state will be 5,233.

Sth published a Jong statement against the conduct of that company toward Colorado's min- ing industry. Franklin Guiterman, gen- eral superintendent of the company for Colorado, has written the following answer, which we reproduce in order that our readers may understand both sides of this controversy: “Denver, Colo., Noy. 9, 1908.—(To the Denver Post)—In the article of Gen, Frank Hall in the Post of Nov. 8, we have at last something tangible to deal with, to which such brief answer can be made as may be of interest to the public. For the first time we have an admission that the statements made by the Post during the recent political campaign were not true. “Gen. Hall prefaces his article by the declaration that an attempt should be made to bring about more satisfac- tory relations between the smelting company and its patrons. The smelt ing company is not and has not been aware of the existence of any such friction as is claimed by the Post. If it were so, would the calculated dis- semination of untruths by that paper tend to bring about a better feeling? “Gen. Hall says that the financial convulsion beginning in October, 1907, well nigh paralyzed the mining dis- tricts. This is a true statement, but was the American Smelting & Refining Company responsible for such unfortu- nate conditions? “Why should the discontent (7?) which followed the panic haye found expression in furious diatribes against the smelter if such a state of feeling | were not fostered by those who had their own private ends to serve in cre- | ating such unjust sentiments? “If Gen. Hall does not know it, he could easily have ascertained that in the dire situation which confronted the Colorado ore producers, the smelting company stepped right into the breach by modifying the existing contracts in favor of the producers as it had done time and again previously, and still further reduced treatment charges on such other ores as could not be pro- duced under previous terms, whether under contract or not. “Gen. Hall correctly states some un- just things were said and done. He might, in truth, have said a great many, but where have we found any correction of the unjust and slander- ous statements? “Gen. Hall says that if the capital stock of the company were reduced, the producer of ore would receive bet- | ter rates and conveys the impression that these charges are extortionate be- cause of the necessity for the continua. tion of dividends on closed plants. Can Gen. Hall point to a single instance where treatment charges have been raised on account of the closure of any plant in Colorado, which is practically the only field where smelters have been closed by the development of un- fortunate mining conditions? “Does not Gen. Hall know full well that notwithstanding the closure of @ number of plants of the American Smelting & Refining Company in Colo- rado, smelting rates have been unin- terruptedly reduced on all classes of those ores whose value, by reason of failing metal prices, became so low as to necessitate such assistance? If he does not, let him make inquiry of the representative mining men of Colorado in all mining districts. The policy of the American Smelting & Refining Company has been open, consistent and helpful, and cam stand the most searching investigation and criticism of all fair minded men. “In the matter of contracts, the ore producers are and have been free agents to make them or not. The sched- ules are no different than they were | when the smelters were in open com- petition. Can a single instance be given where a producer has been forced to sign a contract? If it is true, ‘as lias been repeatedly stated by Gen. Hall, that competing smelters now of- fer better rates than the American Smelting & Refining Company on some classes of ores, does this not prove conclusively that the American Smelt ing & Refining Company has no mon- opoly, and that the ore producer is not at a disadvantage? “At Cripple Creek there are now two sampling companies and they mutually agreed upon sampling charges years ago. The American Smelting & Re- fining Company has absolutely no con- nection or interest in either concern. In Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder The Lion's Roar. Tho dawn is the time when Hons roar most. They occasionally give tongue when actually hunting, often after feeding. The sound varies with the age and lung power of the animal, and has many gradations, sometimes sounding as though the pain of doing lt at all hurt the throat; sometimes the sound comes in great abrupt coughs, and again one hears even triumphant roars.—From “Two Di- avas in Somaliland.” Pere ap eee Nees ROR. ne POLE Oe SE neten concerns have started sampling works at Georgetown, Central City and Boul- der, but have not ben able to continue on account of lack of ore production. The field is certainly an open one for anybody desiring to engage In that line of business. “The statement has been made by the undersigned that the American Smelting & Refining Company is not and has not been in politics. This is absolutely true, In one county in the state where the company has been bit- terly assailed and most unjustly dis- eriminated against in the matter of tax assessments, it has felt constrained to put a few facts before the public, but it has never at any of its places of operation proposed any person as a candidate for any political office, nor has it been politically active in any way in the aid of any candidates for of- fice. “Senator Guggenheim has repeatedly declared his connection with the Amer- ican Smelting & Refining Company, ex- ecutive and financial, has been severed. As far as the undersigned knows, this is also absolutely true. “The Guggenheim Exploration Com- pany has also nothing to do with the American Smelting & Refining Com- pany affairs, excepting in so far as any ore produced by the former is smelted at the latter's plants, The Guggenheim Exploration company has spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars in Colorado in the prosecution of mining enterprises. Gen, Hall suggests that because of an unfavorable financial outcome of these ventures in Colorado the American Smelting & Refining Company uas imposed additional charges on the other mine operators of the state. He wishes to know whether it is unfair to make such a suggestion, It is not only grossly un- fair, it is outrageous and indecent. Can Gen. Hall cite a single instance in war- rant of his suggestion? “Had Gen. Hall desired to do so, he could have had all of the facts bearing on smelting charges and ore conditions before the publication of the Post ar- ticles which seem to have been actu- ated by political malice and sinister motives rather than by a degire to pub- lish the truth, “Had he so desired he could have made the fullest investigation and all of the facts would haye been gladly presented to him, for the American Smelting & Refining Company has nothing to conceal and nothing to mis: represent. “The, recent vilification in the Post has not and cannot harm the smelting company in the least, for it had already suffered a severe blow in its Colorado interests by the decadence of Colorado mining camps. It has, however, great- ly injured the state by directing forcl- ble attention to the fact that the Amer- ican Smelting & Refining Company has been obliged to close a number of its plants, and many inquiries which are being now made as the result of those untrue charges will reveal the fact that the curtailment of the ore production in Colorado is not and has not been due to the levying of unjust and bur- densome treatment charges, but to the exhaustion of many minestwhich once ranking as prolific producers of good grade ore now are entirely depleted or contain only mineral too low in-value to be mined and smelted under govern- ing metal prices. Finally, there is the failure to discover new mining camps. “In drawing the public’s attention to this deplorable condition, the Post must assume the full responsibility of the result of its misguided course, which can only reflect itself in driving away from Colorado capital for mining investments which otherwise might have come here. “As for the smelting company, it will continue in the future the course which has characterized its policy in the past, namely to so act as to aid and stimy- | late the mining industry of Colorado to its utmost, and to retain that respect and confidence of its patrons which {t has secured by fair and just dealings. With this declaration the undersigned must beg to be relieved from further newspaper controversy for which he has neither time nor inclination. He is most ready at all times, however, as he always has been, to discuss in his office with any ore shippers, business of mutual interest. “FRANKLIN GUITERMAN, “General Manager Colorado Depart: ment.” Then and Now.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. IN VOGUE HOODS AGAIN SEEN REVIVAL OF A QUAINT AND PRETTY FASHION. Charming Head Coverings, Discarded for More Than a Generation, Are There was never anything created for woman's wear in which a pretty woman looked more piquant and bewitching than in a hood of becoming type, and we have too long overlooked the opportunities for dainty coquetry that lurk in the folds of the capuchon, but now, thanks to the motor, the hood is in fashion. All of the famous Parisian milliners are catering to the new fad and turning out delectable models whose va- riety and originality are surprising in view of the somewhat narrow limitations of line and idea. Moreover the liking for hoods which started first with practical fur and cloth headgear for winter motoring and developed into coquettish and elaborate head covering for wear with evening dress in open or closed cars has spread far beyond its original field. WEAR WAISTS OF CREPE. Garment Stylish in Either White or Colored Goods. Smart women are wearing good-looking waists of white and colored Japanese crepe, which washes as well as linen. This fabric is much in style. It has a little crinkle in it that is attractive, and it is a pleasant relief from the usual lingerie fabric. Although white waists with coat suits are not quite as fashionable as colored ones, they will still be worn in the mornings in the house and for shopping and will look pretty, too. The Japanese crepe waists are far preferable to those of muslin or linen. They give a new touch to the costume. They are embroidered in Japanese designs of apple, chrysanthemum, wistaria and vines. Some of them are trimmed with a tiny edge of cluny outlining half-inch flat tucks. There is a boned stock to match and a plaited cavat in front of the material edged with quarter-inch cluny lace. These are not lined, although they are quite sheer. If a woman feels the cold in thin waists during the autumn and winter she should have china slips made of white and pastel colors to wear under them. The Feather Turban Some of the best shops are offering the pin-feather turban as a fashionable hat. Women insisted upon it, and it promises to be the smart thing. It is worn for street, for windy days and all kinds of occasions when a large hat is neither fit nor becoming. It is built in an oblong shape, but made wide at the sides by small birds and wings. It has no bandeau and comes well down over the hair. It is in smoked gray, iridescent blue and shaded peacock green. All iridescent effects are good in turbans, as on large hats. A fish-net veil is always worn with them. It is folded around the neck under the chin, securely pinned at back and then drawn up to top of turban, where it is again fastened and the ends securely tucked away. Placing an Ostrich Feather. The quilts of plumage do not show this season. Because of the fondness for marabou, the plumes now start off from a little bed of it. The marabou is made into a fluffy rosette and is laid all over the quill part of the feather. It is a good trick and one that should be followed. Taffeta is used more often than any other material for the making of the modish evening hood, very soft taffeta of course, without crispness, though with a certain body which the big hood needs. Liberty satin, too, is used for lovely models, and occasionally one sees a model of transparent mousseline or net or lace over a silken foundation. Silk velling, too, is a hood material, and one of the prettiest models was in voile de sole ciel, with a little puffing bordered by cords of ciel taffeta and a frill of lace framing the face while on the middle front just inside the lace frill was posed a garland of tiny pink roses and foliage. This same model we have seen in rose pink taffeta and in a delicate lilac taffeta. A hood of this type should surely not be a difficult problem for clever brains and fingers, and for that matter a majority of the models are not particularly complicated in construction, requiring taste and ingenuity rather than expert workmanship. A wide puff of cream net bordered on each side by a line of tiny roses or rosebuds and a single or double frill of lace make a good finish for one of the voluminous hoods of taffeta or liberty. Sometimes the frills are of silk musselline or chiffon rather than of lace, and perhaps the outer frill matches the hood in color while the frill next the hair and face is white. Narrow black lace and knots of black velvet trim one hood of straw colored silk, and velvet loops and bows finish the front of another silk model which has only a narrow bordering frill of lace around the face but a deep capelike frill of lace around the neck. A majority of the hoods have some sort of cape finish, more or less shallow, and some have long scarfs of the hood material cut in one with the body of the hood. Two veils, one falling in front and one behind, are adjusted to most of the poke and coal scuttle motor bonnets, and the neutral and medium tints are usually chosen, the fashionable smoke and taupe grays being especially popular. Other small, close fitting bonnets have veils draped round them and falling at the back in two long scarfs, which may be adjusted and manipulated as the wearer may choose. Half bonnet, half hood are certain motor toques in moussine de soie on the order of the taupe one pictured here, with wide, low draped crown, soft frills falling over the hair and long scarfs brought forward from sides and back. Contrivance of Great Utility for the Hours of Night. This novel little holder for a watch is intended for hanging upon the wall by the side of a bed, and into which a watch may be slipped at night-time, and be easily seen when required. A piece of stout cardboard of the shape shown should be used for the SIX foundation, and in the center a circular hole cut to fit the watch it is intended for. The cardboard can be covered with any pretty piece of silk or brocade on which has been worked some pretty little floral design. It is entirely edged with cord, and there is a loop at the top by which it may be hung upon the wall. At the back of the circular space, cut in the center, is sewn a small pocket of wash leather, into which the watch may be placed; the lower sketch of the back view explains this. Glove Fastenings for Dresses The patent fasteners from wormout and discarded gloves may be utilized by cutting them from the gloves, leaving enough of the kid attached to be fastened on skirt bands and plackets. These can be sewed on by machine under a fly flap and they will last longer than buttons or hooks and eyes. These make ideal fasteners for belts. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST.

Four pounds of flour, three pints milk and water, one-half ounce of salt, 1¾ ounces fresh compressed yeast. Place the flour in the bread bowl and in it put the milk, water and salt. Mix with the liquid enough of the flour to make it a thin batter, next rub the yeast to powder between the hands and mix into batter. Cover the bowl closely and let it stand three-quarters of an hour. At the end of that time mix in the rest of the floor smoothly and let the dough thus made stand again closely covered 2½ hours until it is light and elastic. Then cut into pound pieces and each pound into 12 parts. Flatten these small pieces of dough in squares three-quarters of an inch thick, fold their corners to the center, pinch them to hold down and turn the little rolls thus made over on a board covered with a cloth. Let them stand ten minutes, turn up again on a baking sheet and put them into a hot oven to bake quickly for about 15 minutes. When half done brush them with milk, return to the oven and finish baking them. It is a little trouble but they are delicious when done. The Home. Cold cereals can be fried the same as mush; serve with gravy. Nickel may be kept bright by being rubbed with wool saturated in ammonia. Kid shoes may be kept soft and free from cracks by rubbing them once a week with a little pure glycerin or castor oil. When brushing a room sweep toward the fireplace, otherwise the draft from the chimney draws the dust in that direction. Table or any other linen that is stained with raw egg should be well soaked in cold water first, as the hot water would set the egg. It is said that syrup or cream will not drop from a pitcher on the table-cloth if the nose of the pitcher is rubbed with butter. Pickled Red Cabbage. Take off the outside leaves of a nice red cabbage, cut in quarters, remove the stalks and cut it across in very thin slices. Lay these on a dish, strew them plentifully with salt and cover with another dish. Let them remain 24 hours, turn into a colander to drain, and if necessary wipe lightly with a cloth. Put them in a jar and boil up the vinegar and spices, and when cold pour over the cabbage. Tie down with bladder and keep in a dry, cool place. It will be fit for use in a week or two. For one head of cabbage I take one quart vinegar, one half ounce ginger root, one ounce whole black pepper and, if you like, a dash of cayenne. The pickle will be much more crisp if the frost has touched the leaves. Almond Delight Ple. Make a rich pastry and fill with the following mixture: Blanch and chop fine one cupful of almonds. Put one cupful of granulated sugar moistened with one teaspoonful of water into a frying pan. Place over a slow fire until melted, then add the chopped almonds stirring briskly until the mixture turns a golden brown. Turn this out on the crust in the pan and spread quickly before it cools. Beat three eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and one and one-half cupfuls of milk, pour over the almonds and bake in a hot oven at first. Cover with a meringue of the white of egg and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Chestnuts with Apples in Salad. Chestnuts with Apples in Salad. The chestnuts in market now make a delicious salad with apples and celery. The domestic kind will do, but are more work than the large imported ones. Score shells of the nuts and scald them so that the shell and skin will come off easily. Then boil in salted water until they are tender. If the large chestnuts are employed cut them in three pieces; use the small ones whole. Mix the nuts with an equal quantity of diced apples and celery and dress with mayonnaise. The chestnuts and apples are tasty without the celery. Either the apples or nuts are delicious alone, as a salad. French Soup. To one quart of milk add, when boiling, about five boiled Irish potatoes, rubbed through a sieve, by which a paste is made, when the milk and potatoes have boiled up once add three well beaten eggs and a piece of butter the size of an egg. If it boils after the eggs are added it is apt to curdle; stir it round till it is well mixed, and serve it up. Apples and Onions. There is a new luncheon dish which calls for fried apples and onions served with bacon. The apples are sliced round, without peeling, and the peeled onion is added, thinly sliced. These are fried together. The bacon is fried to a crisp brown and served with the others. Smooth Jelly. To prevent the gritty substance forming in grape jelly, preserves, etc., to one gallon of the fruit when hot add one teaspoonful of soda when a green scum arises which you skim off and it does away with all grit. Tripe a la Lyons Cut into strips a pound of boiled tripe. Fry in butter with two large onions sliced, pepper, salt and minced parsley to season. When brown add a tablespoonful of vinegar. Serve with lynnaise potatoes.
