Colorado Statesman

Money Saved by Patronizing Those Who Advertise in This Paper. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY POLITIC PATR The Republicans Have Given Democrats fill their place crats have great POLITICAL PATRONAGE The Republicans Have Given Much to Negroes. Will the Democrats fill their places with Negroes? Democrats have great Opportunities. Colorado's going over to the Democratic ranks will cause much speculation among parties anxious to get to the pie counter. Some years ago the Legislature, hoping to improve the public service, passed a civil service law. Just how effective this law will be in the face of the hungry horde of office seekers remains to be seen. Democratic leaders will meet soon for the express purpose of considering this very important and vital issue. The great game of American Politics, as played, is practically a business proposition. To succeed, all the vast and subterranean resources of the organization are taxed to their utmost. The details of a campaign would doubtless be interesting reading to the unsophisticated, if it were possible to obtain the facts. But that's another story. Colorado has joined the great unwashed, and the Republicans now enjoying the exquisite luxury of signing a voucher at the state treasurer's office must seek other employment. The going out of the old and the coming of the new puts expectation on tiptoe. Political parties must pay their just debts, just as business men and individuals. During campaigns many individuals labored with the fond hope of party success—and then a seat at the counter. The last campaign in Colorado was peculiar in many ways. It, among other things, brought to light the genuine Negro Bryanite. We refrain from using the word Democrat, for obvious reasons. But nevertheless the Negro Bryanite was greatly in evidence on the streets and in the various meetings. He contributed his share to the meagre plurality that resulted in Democratic success last November. This fact is no doubt clear in the minds of Democratic leaders. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is not presenting these suggestions through a desire to dictate to Democratic managers. This is a Re- VOL.

We concede to every man the right to think and act for himself. The Republicans have done much for the Negro in Colorado. Not only has he been given the usual minor places, but he has been elected to positions of honor and trust and has been a welcome member of his party councils. There is no doubt that the Republican party of Colorado has dealt more graciously with the members of our race than any other western state. The temporary passing of the Republicans from power in this state means the relieving of many colored men from positions to which they had been appointed. It is a matter of much credit to the race to know that every Negro appointee has done his duty and will leave his position with honor to the race. Now, will the Democrats fill these positions with Negroes? Will they give to those who willingly labored for Democratic success a reasonable and fair consideration? There can be no excuse as to material competent to fill all places now held by Negroes. The Negroes of Colorado are splendidly equipped to fill any public position. It, right to vanite, word reasons. Bryan on the meet-ware to resulted govern-clear lead- is not questions Dema Re- To fill the forty-eight places now held by Negroes it will not be necessary to consider the "for revenue only" and "double-crossers." Men should be selected and appointed because they can be of a material benefit to the party. There are some strong men and women of our race who labored for the success of the Democratic party. They delivered the goods. They should be recognized. By giving heed to our humble suggestion, the party of Jefferson and Jeff Davis will add to the growing confidence of some of our people and in a measure offset the venom of Tillman and Vardaman! --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 1908. There are 21 Negroes employed in the postoffice at Houston, Tex. whose salaries per year aggregate $14,000. Roanoke, December, 7.—An anti saloon movement is on in this city, and the Negro ministers have refused to cooperate or have anything to do with the new issue. There are 3,500 Negroes here. Chas. Lee, a Negro, has invented an exterminator for the boll weevil, the small insect playing such havoc with Southern crops. Instead of being exterminated, the Negro has now gone to exterminating. An organization recently formed by white real estate owners of New York is limiting Negro residence to certain sections of the city. Some of the several well-known Negro real estate men will no doubt test the case in the local courts. We are surprised to learn that there are more than 200,000 Negro Catholics in the United States, with seven Seven Negro priests and and several convents. Despite its reputation for narrowness the Roman Catholic Church is genuinely catholic. Cleveland, Ohio 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 colored people 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. Washington, D. C., December 8. Judge Robert H. Terrell was today appointed on the Inaugural Committee. This appointment will not only give eminent satisfaction to the citizens of the District of Columbia, but also to the colored citizens throughout the country, as Judge Terrell is exceptionally popular and represents the highest type of Negro citizenship. The American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York and the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society of Chicago contribute to the salaries of two teachers at the Howe Institute at Memphis, Tenn. In addition to the literary course, stenography, typewriting, printing, sewing, basketry, milliney, music and general house-clean- ing are given. The Woman's Bible Training Course was attended last year by 216 women from 26 churches and 6 denominations. No teacher who dances can hold a place in the public schools of Enid, Oklahoma, if the ukase of the school board can stand the test of the law governing annual contracts. There are some teachers whose efficiency is not affected by indulging in the "light fantastic"—and there are others who cannot store brains in both head and foot without losing something at one end or the other. The outcome of the fight will be interesting. Musgogee, Ok., Dec. 5.—Equaling the work of three men, John Williams of Muskogee, champion cotton picker of the world, has just made the astounding record of 914 pounds of cotton picked in one day. The feat was accompanied last week at Kaufman, Texas, where he successfully carried out a contract to pick 600 acres of cotton. Besides wearing extremely "fussy clothes" Williams who is a Negro of remarkable height and build, has a roll of money which he boastfully claims "would choke an elephant." Washington, Dec. 5.—Whatever may be the attitude of other communities toward the colored troops in the United States Army, West Point has only words of praise and appreciation for the colored cavalry detachment stationed at the United States Military Academy. Colonel H. L. Scott, superintendent of the academy, voices this attitude in his annual report to the Secretary of War, by saying: "The cavalry detachment (colored) has continued its excellent showing and has demonstrated still further the advantages of colored over white men for this duty. There is a waiting list now, and only experienced men having former service and very good and excellent records are accepted." A syndicate of colored men in Valdosta, Ga., incorporated under the title: The Enterprise Stock Company, are doing a very extensive business. They own a two story brick building with two stores on the ground floor, and offices and a large hall on the second floor. The offices are all occupied. In one of the store rooms, nearly everything usually kept in a general mercantile establishment, is found. Mr. C. R. Rivers is manager of this store and Mr. T. H. Hudson is president of the company. In the other store-room is the People's Meat and Fish Market, with Mr. W. L. McKinzie as proprietor. There are quite a number of other business enterprises in this Southern Georgia town successfully conducted by members of the race. HENRY O. TANNER TO GIVE EXHIBITION OF WORKS IN NEW YORK CITY. New York.—Henry O. Tanner, celebrated as a painter of religious scenes is back in this country after a sojourn of five years abroad, and soon will give an exhibition of his works in the American Art Galleries. As many of the canvases depict scenes in the life of Jesus the arrangement of the exhibition to include the date of Christmas is in keeping with the spirit of the season. Some of the notable works of the artist have been secured for the occasion, having been lent by individual owners and institutions in this country. Of these, Mr. Tanner's "Nicodemus" has been borrowed from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which purchased it several years ago after distinguishing it with the Lippincott prize. "The Two Disciples at the Tomb," the prize picture of two years ago, has been lent by the Chicago Art Institute, while "Christ at the Home of Martha and Mary," has been arranged to be sent by the Carnegie Institute, which purchased it recently from Mr. Tanner. What is perhaps the artist's chef d'oeuvre, "Behold the Bridegroom Cometh," will be exhibited by him. It was his contribution to the Paris Salon of 1908 and measures 15 by 20 feet. It contains lifesize figures of the wise and foolish virgins of the parable. Rodman Wanamaker and Atherton Curtis have also lent works which Mr. Tanner painted for them, and there may be 30 canvases in all on view. COLORED FAMILY TREATED BADLY. Camilla, Ga. Dec. 5.—Judge W. N. Spence, of the Albany Superior Court, has issued warrants for the arrest of Frank Adams and John Rodney, prominent white men of Miller county, charging them with a serious offense. According to the story of Andrew Moore, an aged colored man, cooroborated by members of his family, he had a son in the Miller county chain gang; who recently escaped. It is alleged that a party of night riders, led by Adams and Rodney, the latter a deputy sheriff of Miller county, went to the old colored man's house in Baker county and charge him and his family with hiding the escaped convict. This they denied, whereupon the night riders, it is charged, took them into the woods and severely whipped the old man, his wife, his son and his son's wife. This bringing forth no confess- N0.13 ion as to the whereabouts of the escaped convict, a rope was put around the old man's neck and over the limb of a tree, and he was being choked to death when the rope broke and he managed to escape in the darkness followed by a volley of shots from the guns of the night riders. Judge Spence has directed that the sheriff arrest the two men, place them in jail, and have them well guarded until the grand jury meets at Newton, Baker county, a week from tomorrow Sheriff Perry, of Baker county, at last reports, was searching for the alleged night riders, who have many friends in Miller county, and who say that the two men will never be taken. COLOR SERGEANT DEAD Boston, Dec. 9—William H. Carney, who as color sergeant of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers in the Civil War saved his flag at Fort Wagner after he had been wounded, died at the city hospital today of injuries received in an elevator accident. Sergeant Carney was messenger at the office of the Secretary of State. He was crushed by an elevator at the State House on Nov. 25. His regiment was the one composed of colored men and commanded by Colonel Robert Shaw. Carney was at the side of Colonel Shaw when that commander fell, and 'afterwards he was bably wounded. As he crawled off the battlefield he held the flag aloft until comrads came to his assistance, and he greeted them with the words often quoted in Massachusetts: "The old flag never touched the ground." STRANGE NEGRO TRIBE SEEN IN DUTCH GUIANA A remarkable tribe of Negroes, with a language of their own, was found by Lieut R. H. Wymans of the Dutch navy, who has arrived in New York from an expedition into hitherto unexplored parts of Dutch Guiana, in South America. The Negroes were encountered after the explorers had proceeded a hundred miles up the Surinam river and then cut accross country to the boundry between British and Dutch Guiana. They appeared never to have seen white men before, and while perfectly black, were not of the thick lipped type. After considerable effort their language was found to be a mixture of several European tongues, Dutch, Portuguese and English predominating. Learning to converse with them after a fashion, Lieut. Wymans said his party was able to get much valuable information from them. He was of the opinion that they were descendants of slaves who had escaped from the coast, doubtless, many generations ago, and formed a settlement far in the interior, where they hoped to be free from pursuit and capture.—Freeman.

That the Teller Indian school near Grand Junction, Colorado, will be abandoned and the $300,000 property donated by the government to the state to be used as a normal school is the statement made by Senator Teller in a telegram received at Grand Junction. A self-styled "Divine Healer Schlatter" has been driven out of Macomb, Ill., by a mob for declaring that President McKinley was an anarchist, that he had turned more people loose to prey on society than any man in the world, and that the assassination of McKinley was all right excepting that it did not happen soon enough. The executive committee of the Grand Army of the Republic has confirmed the selection of Salt Lake City as the place of meeting of the national encampment next summer. One advantage of this selection is the fact that those in attendance can make it part of a trip to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle. A surplus of $1,000,000 over all charges was earned by the Colorado & Southern railway in the four months from July 1st to November 1st and this is enough to meet preferred dividends for the entire year and leave a nice margin for the common stock dividend. This is an increase of $100,000 as compared with the corresponding period of 1907. In assignments of troops returning from the Philippines during the year 1909, Colorado and Wyoming both draw colored commands. The Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, which will leave the Philippines in September, will be stationed at Fort Logan, Colo., and Whipple barracks, Ariz.

Much curiosity has been caused by an announcement from Wisconsin that the son of a wealthy resident of that state has applied for patents on a new type of motor car which he expects to market at $450. At a dinner given at Tokio to the new Japanese minister to Chill, it was announced that the Toyo Kisen Steamship Company will start a new line of steamers between Japan and South America, commencing January 1st, with three steamers on a regular schedule. John D, Rockefeller, in giving a waiter a 5-cent tip at Brunswick, N. J., a few days since, advised him to put it in a savings bank. "That's what I did with my spare cash when I was your age," the oil man is quoted as say your age, the oil man is quoted as saying, "and it earned money for me." In a letter to the Providence Journal, Charles P. Taft, brother of the president-elect, says: "In answer to your query, I say that I never was at any time a shareholder in the new or old Panama company, either directly or indirectly, and have never in any way been connected with the Panama business."

A special message by the President, in which he defends the government and denounces the authors of the Panama scandal charges, declaring that Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World should be prosecuted by the government for libel, was made the occasion of hilarious laughter in the Senate.

CHEAPEST SWITCHES 50 CENTS. 1219 21st St. Denver, Colo. important English Railroad Decision. A passenger in a full railway carriage in England has a perfect legal right to push away anyone else who tries to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop's Road station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of conductors," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent anyone from boarding cars when they are full. If they fail to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves." Kindness and Cheerfulness. Kindness is contagious. The spirit of harmony trickles down by a thousand secret channels into the inmost recesses of the household life. It is hard to be angry in the presence of imperturbable good nature. It is well-nigh impossible to be morose in the face of a cheerful and generous helpfulness.--Henry Van Dyke VOTE OF NATION FOR PRESIDENT REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRATIC AND SOCIALIST PARTIES SHOW INCREASE OVER 1904. FALLING OFF IN PROHIBITION POPULIST AND SOCIAL LABOR PARTIES. New York.—The total popular vote of the presidential candidates at the last national election was made known Tuesday in an official form by the filig of the last official vote, that of Michigan. The total shows the following votes cast: Taft (Republican) ..... 7,637,676 Bryan (Democrat) ..... 6,333,182 Debs (Socialist) ..... 448,471 Chafin (Prohibition) ..... 241,252 Hisgen (Independence) ..... 83,186 Watson (Populist) ..... 38,871 Gilhaus (Social Labor) ..... 15,421 Total for all candidates, 14,852,239. Taft's plurality, 1,244,294. This grand total exceeds by 1,341,531 the total number of votes cast in the presidential election of 1904, when the grand total was 13,510,708. Compared with that election, the candidates of the Republican, Democratic and Socialist party increased their vote this year. The reverse is true of the candidates of the Prohibition, Populist and Social-Labor parties. The Independence party did not figure in the presidential election of four years ago. The biggest difference in a party vote is shown in an increase for Bryan of 1,315,221 over the total vote cast in 1904, for Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate. Taft received 14,190 votes more than were polled for President Roosevelt in 1904, and Debs ran 45,368 ahead of his predecessor on the Socialist ticket. The heaviest loss is shown by the Populist party, who, with the same candidates, registered 83,312 votes less this year than in 1904, when their total vote was 117,183. The Prohibition candidate, Chafin, ran 17,284 votes behind the 1904 mark of his party, and Gilhaus, the Socialist-Labor candidate, received only about 50 per cent. of the vote given to Corrigan, which was 31,249, in the previous presidential race. New York, 870,070; Pennsylvania, 745,779, and Illinois, 629,932, gave Taft the greatest number of votes among the states, which as to Bryan, the order was New York, 667,468; Ohio, 502,721, and Illinois, 450,810. The pluralities for Taft and Bryan were almost identical in numbers in two states, namely, Maryland and Nevada. In the first mentioned, Taft received 111,253, and Bryan 111,117, and in the other 10,214 and 10,655 respectively. Debs received his largest vote in Pennsylvania, 39,913; Illinois, 39,711, and New York, 38,451. Vermont was the only state in which not a single vote was cast for the Socialist candidate. Delaware gave him only 75 votes. Hisgen's vote in New York, 35,817 and in his own state, Massachusetts, 19,237, together formed nearly two-thirds of all the votes cast for him. Nine states registered not a single vote for the Prohibitionist candidates. The Socialist-Labor candidate received votes in only 13 states and in only 19 were votes cast for Watson of the Populist party. Popular Vote for Electors. Caracas (via Willemstad).—The people of Caracas arose on Monday against President Castro. An inuriated mob, unhindered by the police, swept through the city, wrecking the property of his henchmen and his closest friends. The people gathered up all statues and pictures of President Castro from the clubs and other semi-public buildings and burned them on the Boulevard de Plaza. President Castro's rule in Venezuela is probably ended. Further violence is anticipated. IMMENSE PROJECT FOR IMPROV ING VAST TRACT IN COLO- RADO AND NEW MEXICO. PLANS TO BRING OVER 500,000 ACRES OF VALUABLE LAND UNDER CULTIVATION. Denver.—Financed by David H. Moffat, Charles J. Hughes, Jr., and eastern capitalists, a company which was incorporated on the 10th inst., will spend over $2,000,000 carrying out in Colorado and New Mexico one of the biggest and most important power, irrigation and colonization schemes ever promoted in the entire West, says the Denver Republican. Most, if not all, of the land belonging to the historic old Costilla estates in Costilla county, Colorado, and Taos county, New Mexico, forming the major portion of the historic old Costilla or Sangre De Christo land grant, has been purchased by the company. This means that 500,000 acres in the southern part of Costilla county and a large acrèage in Taos county will be developed to attract thousands of settlers who will convert an immense arid area into thriving orchards and farms. The company has been incorporated both in Nevada and Colorado under the name of the Costilla Estates Land Development Company. The incorporators are former Congressman Franklin Brooks of Colorado Springs, his law partner, Horace G. Lunt, H. Alexander Smith, Fred G. Moffat, nephew of David Moffat, and Gerald Hughes, David H. Moffat and Charles J. Hughes are said to be the two principal Coloradans behind the company. The first step taken by the company, it is said, will be to provide irrigation facilities that will reclaim thousands of acres under its control. A small portion in the southeast corner of the southern part of Costilla county which the company will improve is already irrigated. Situated on the Culebra range, which forms the eastern boundary of the Sangre Christo grant, extending down to New Mexico along the eastern boundary of Taos county is a watershed and from the small streams running from it, water will be diverted for power and irrigation. The Rio Culebra, the Vallejo, Rito Ventero, near the San Pedro mesa, the Quartos, Jarosa and the Rita Torcida are the principal creeks flowing from the shed. The Rio Grande railroad extends through the district of which the town of San Luis is the center. State Y. M. C. A. Convention. An elaborate and interesting program is being arranged for the twenty-second annual convention of the Colorado Young Men's Christian Associations, which will be held at Colorado Springs February 4 to 7, 1909. It is expected that this convention will be the largest meeting of association men to consider religious subjects that has ever been held in the Rocky Mountain region. The committee in charge of the program has been authorized to expend more than double what has ever been spent on any preceding convention Among the list of leaders are a number of men of international reputation, including the following: Dean Edward I. Bosworth of Oberlin Theological Seminary; Mr. G. S. Phelps, secretary, Tokio, Japan, Y. M. C. A.; Mr. Clarence B. Willis, general secretary, Milwaukee association; Press John Willis Baer of Occidental College, Los Angeles; Mr. John H. Boardman, secretary county department international committee, Y. M. C. A.; Dr. George J. Fisher, secretary physical department, international committee, and Judge Selden P. Spencer of St. Louis, president of the last international convention. In addition to this exceptionally strong list of leaders from outside the state, a score or more of strong Colorado business men have been secured to participate in the program. A feature of the convention will be a complimentary banquet to convention delegates and business men of Colorado Springs. Other features will be Bible studies, evangelistic meetings and conferences and discussions about the practical work of the Young Men's Christian Association. The sessions of the convention will be open to all men, whether members of the association or not. Program and detailed information may be obtained from the State office, 212 Association building, Denver, Colorado.

WE want to see the Negro do something in a new field that will set the world agog. We have had enough of prize fighters, of foot races, of horse jockeys, of wandering minstrels, boy orators and other passing artists. It would be worth double all these if we could produce a great inventor, some leader in the scientific, mechanical or electrical world.

Then afford him more substantial oppo- t less extravagant desires. THE remarkable increase in Negro population in the principal cities of this country during the past decade has led many thinkers and writers to advise against the migratory epidemic. The Denver Republic quotes the advice of Booker T. Washington along this line. The series of articles written by Ray Stannard Baker and published in the American Magazine some months back, revealed many plausible reasons for this prolonged exodus of Southern Negroes, and it seems to the Colorado Statesman that even a casual study of those reasons will convince any thoughtful person that it will require a far more substantial force than mere advice to check this lure of the city, to which so many former denizens of the Southern rural districts are yielding. The younger generation of Negroes in the South has come to manhood and womanhood yearning for privileges and opportunities which were and womanhood yearning for privileges and opportunities which were born. Continued limitations put upon the attainment and the enjoyment of land ownership, the acquirement of education and the indulgence of tastes for enlightening and uplifting entertainment and amusement have made meagre reports of the privileges of the North seem like fairy tales to these restrained and wondering creatures. Even the glitter of the cities of the South, with their increased facilities for social intercourse and even their license of immoral privileges has lured the farm worker from his six day toil into surroundings where half of that time might be used in spending the earnings of the other half, when three days wages would amount to as much as six in the country. Conditions in the North, while carrying with them certain requirements for more arduous labor, have afforded the Negro a taste of that large fund of personal liberty which was formerly only a dream, and in spite of new restrictions and hardships, he has courted industrial and social demoralization in order that he might glut his desires for the things he never knew before. The Negro cannot be said to be holding his own with other nationalities anywhere in our great cities, although some of them are successful, but it will take time for him to find this out. The reaction will come when his appetite for superficial happiness becomes sated or more restricted, and then, perhaps, he will begin to drift back to the country of his own accord. Then, too, let us hope, the country will afford him more substantial opportunities in accord with his newer but less extravagant desires. THE MEASURE OF JUSTICE. R a person voices his ideas and opinion in the race question in the United States. Ignorance regarding one of the most will ever be called upon to finally an ignorance of the average man of the usual problem growing out of the corp is proverberial, but the ignorance of thetesman, is necessarily startling, the possibility of a final, mutual under- prophetic newspaper correspondence. WHENEVER a person voices his ideas and opinions upon any important phase of the race question in the United States, he reveals either his wisdom or his ignorance regarding one of the most vital matters that this government will ever be called upon to finally adjust. The utter ignorance of the average man of the underlying features of the great social problem growing out of the contact of the white and colored races is proverberial, but the ignorance of the student, the specialist, the statesman, is necessarily startling, because it reveals the apparent impossibility of a final, mutual understanding. A few weeks ago an over-prophetic newspaper correspondent suggested that President Roosevelt was going to Africa for the real purpose of studying the race question, with a view of fitting himself for the difficult role of a Moses to solve this great problem for the people of the United States. We then said that he did not know the Negro here any too well, and that he was indeed going to Africa to hunt wilder game. Two weeks ago at the laying of the corner stone of a Colored Y. M. C. A. building in the city of Washington, President Roosevelt spoke on the race question, and, as upon other occasions of ordinary importance, exhorted his hearers upon the value of good citizenship, declaring for equality of treatment before the law, with a special reservation eliminating all consideration of the social relations of the races. There was nothing new, original or deeply philosophical in his statements; nothing but the passing generalities of one who hopes that the mere show of justice will tranquilize an untranquil torrent of social evil. Just as he believes, in the matter of war between nations, that "peace without dishonor is greatly to be desired," President Roosevelt believes that justice without dishonor to the white man, is desirable in the race question. This is the rock upon which all superficial students of sociology founder, and only one white man in a thousand can clear it. For justice has no regard for men's honor. Honor is its own reward, dishonor its own avenger and qualified justice is not justice at all. The solution of the race question in its final analysis depends upon just treatment between man and man and race and race. Can this be hoped for here in the United States? The necessity for separate religious institutions for identical character would seem to carry the mooted question even up to heaven. The colored Y. M. C. A. doubtless has its virtues, but President Roosevelt does not realize the pity of the case. Yet if the Colored man can remain content with the white man's measure of justice, the race question in the United States is in a fair way toward its solution. Can he remain content?

There is a discussion on at the popular Calumet club as to who is the best whist player. An elegant trophy will be hung up and a whist tournament will be announced soon. Besides these a host of smaller events, more or less exclusive, will fill in and Denver elite will be happy. The special offer of cut glass bowls at $3.00 each at the Carson Crockery Company, corner Fifteenth and Stout streets, is meeting with a great run. This is the oldest, largest and most reliable crockery company in Denver, and their goods are always placed at a figure far below their competitors. It is the only exclusive wholesale and retail crockery company in the city, therefore a better selection of holiday goods in their line cannot be found in the West than carried by this popular firm. In assignments of troops returning from the Philippines during the year 1909, Colorado and Wyoming both draw colored commands. The Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, which will leave the Philippines in September, will be stationed at Fort Logan, Colo., and Whipple barracks, Ariz. The Ninth cavalry, colored, will leave Manila in May and be sent to Fort Russell. Part of the Fourth artillery will be stationed at Fort Russell in May, and the Eleventh infantry, which returns from Cuba in February, will also be returned to that post. O. J. W. Scott is chaplain of the 25th infantry. During the service of the Twenty-fifth at Fort Logan in the past it made an excellent record. The colored troops were orderly and there was only one death by violence in or near the fort during the stay of the regiment, the records showing that death was due to accident. LEAP YEAR PARTY. Denver society is always original. A late Leap Year party is the newest social creation. Mrs. E. W. Williams of 601 Lafayette St. conceived the idea and secured the assistance of Mesdames John Mason and J. L. Burnett. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Burnett at 3912 Larimer St., under the genius of twelve ladies presented a veritable dream of paradise to their husbands last Friday night when the very pleasant surprise was opened before them. The evening was "a flow of mirth" and every one was happy. Much credit is due the receiving ladies for the very unique affair. POTATOES—TO KEEP One year, no rot, flavor improves; cost, 50c per ton. Secret, $1.00 by mail. J. J. Frazee, 333 Avery St., Los Angeles, Cal. Whoever heard the program Sunday cannot help from saying that it was an excellent musical treat and rare thing to see two young ladies yet in their 'teens have such difficult and pathetic music as did Miss Ruth Hoffman and Miss Anderson Sunday afternoon. The house was nearly crowded to hear them. Miss Ruth Hoffman never sang as she sang Sunday, "Mamma, Where is Heaven?" She was called back by vociferous applause while Miss Anderson executed some difficult classics from Wagner and Beethoven. Her encore clearly demonstrated to the audience her mastership of that instrument. To say the least, these selections thrilled the house. For some unknown reason Mr. Childers failed to appear. The program for Sunday is as follows: Musicale selections by Holley's orchestra; address, "Co-operation," by Rev. A. C. Murphy, pastor of Ward A. M. E. church. Mr. Murphy's sermon at Shorter Thanksgiving is all the recommendation he needs. He is a thorough going energetic minister who has already started a literary society on West Side. The principal members of the Alliance have pledged him their support. December 27th: Vocal solo, Miss Frankie Buchannan; address, "Dishonesty's Success," by the brother of the late Senator E. O. Wolcott, Roger W. Wolcott; music, Holley's famous orchestra; vocal trio, Rabbi Friedman on "Humanity." January 31st, with also the appearance of Miss Eva Carter and Mrs. L. V. Douglass, literary selection. The Alliance meets at 1712 Curtis at 4 p. m. A special invitation is extended to the ladies. LOCAL NOTICES Hair cut, 15c, 1847 Blake street.

MUST REVISE TARIFF ONE HUNDRED TABLES SURROUNDED BY LEADING FINANCIERS AND STATESMEN. New York, Dec. 16.—President-elect Taft was the guest of honor Wednesday night at the twenty-third annual dinner of the Ohio society of New York. Around the hundred tables of the Waldorf-Astoria were men gathered from every section of the country and leaders in many walks of life. Mr. Taft took advantage of the occasion, in a speech filled with more earnestness than any he has delivered since his election, to pledge his administration and his party, so far as he can control it, to a loyal adherence to the Chicago platform. He uwelt almost wholly upon the revision of the tariff, which he singled out as the most important declaration made at the last national convention, and after having previously referred to the veto power of the chief executive, said with all the emphasis of which he was capable: "Better no revision at all, better that the new bill should fail, unless we have an honest and thorough revision on the basis laid down and the principles outlined in the party platform." Mr. Taft also referred to the Sherman antitrust law and declared for its enforcement as one of the Roosevelt policies that the party had pledged itself to carry forward. Seated at the "President's table" with Mr. Taft were the vice president-elect, Mr. Sherman, Governor Hughes, Henry W. Taft, president of the society; Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati; Horace D. Taft of Watertown, Connecticut; Dr. Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale; former Senator John C. Spooner, one of those who responded to the toasts; J. Pierpont Morgan, Paul Morton, Gov. Franklin Fort of New Jersey, Secretary Straus, Frank H. Hitchcock, Bishop Leonard of Ohio, Gen. H. C. Corbin, Admiral Casper Goodrich and others. At one of the tables was perhaps the most notable group of financiers ever gathered at a dinner in this country. There were E. H. Harriman, George F. Bakei, president of the First National Bank; George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co.; E. H. Gay of the United States Steel Corporation; John Claflin, Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of the National City Bank; Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Company; J. P. Morgan, Jr.; J. P. Stotesbery, of Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia, and Charles Steele of J. P. Morgan & Co. At another table were four Rockefellers—John D., John D., Jr., William Rockefeller and P. A. Rockefeller, With them set John D. Archbold, the active head of the Standard Oil Company, and John G. Milburn, the special counsel of the company. Frank B. Kellogg, who has been prosecuting the Standard, and William Nelson Cromwell, brought to the front in the recent Panama canal discussion, were near neighbors to the Rockefellers. The "interstate commerce" in the exchange of prominent men between New York and Ohio, and the conspiracy by which only New York or Ohio men are entitled to the presidency, were constantly referred to by the speakers and were the cause of much merriment. Governor Hughes was hailed by Toastmaster Henry Taft and by Senator Spooner as the "successor of Mr. Taft," when it should again come New York's turn to name the occupant of the White house. The President-elect was the last to speak. He said: "I am a protectionist, but I am not one of those who believe that the policy of protection does not in a large degree make trusts and monopolies easier of existence. But the way to stamp trusts and monopolies out is not by destroying the whole protective system. We should not have excessive tariff rates, so as to tempt monopolies and give the trusts an opportunity to take advantage of those excessive rates. "If we do not lullfull the promise made in the Chicago platform, and make only a surface revision, we will be made accountable by the intelligent American people and will suffer the consequences with which failure to keep promises is visited by the American people." Washington.—President Roosevelt won the hearts and hands of twenty different chorus girls in less than three minutes Wednesday. The girls, who are at the Columbia theatre, in "The Girl Question," swooped upon the White House, by appointment, shortly after 11 o'clock, dressed in their prettiest "Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes. "Delighted!" "I'm glad to see you," "Happy to meet you," were some of his greetings to the girls, who said he was "perfectly lovely!" COLORADO ITEMS A movement has been started to organize a new mining stock exchange in Denver. Antonito has voted for a gravity water system to be owned and operated by the town, drawing its water from large springs. A short distance west of Fort Morgan a Union Pacific train ran into a herd of about 125 antelope, a few days since, killing two of them. Invitations have been issued by the University of Colorado for a conference of principals and superintendents of high schools of the state at Boulder Jan. 1st and 2nd. The taxpayers of Denver on January 19th will vote on the question of issuing about $1,000,000 of school bonds for the erection of new school buildings, repairs and additions. On January 28th Leadville will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary by a "home coming" of Leadville pioneers. There will be "high old times"—about two miles high. A congress of Colorado Sunday school associations will be held at Pueblo Dec. 27th-29th. This will be the first time the congress has been held outside of Denver. The thirty-eighth annual session of the Colorado State Teachers' Association will be held in the East Side high school at Denver, Dec. 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st. Manager A. B. Hulit of the Kansas-Colorado Power and Transmission Company, expects the road to be completed from Pueblo to the top of the Royal Gorge by May 1st next. On the night of the 8th inst. fire destroyed the shaft house and buildings of the Mesa Mining & Milling Company at Unaweep, entailing a loss of $12,000. There was no insurance. The new sewer system at Fort Morgan has been completed at a cost of about $60,000. Work has been going on for four months and sixteen miles of pipe have been laid. This covers the entire town and all additions. Another 5 per cent. dividend has been declared by Richard H. Malone, receiver of the defunct Fidelity Savings Association of Denver. This dividend means the disbursing of $41,000, and makes a total of 40 per cent. paid to depositors. Colorado College is planning a summer school of surveying to be conducted in Manitou park every June, as part of the work of mining and civil engineering. It will cost $2,500, of which $1,000 has already been donated by a Denver man. Stephen N. Bennett, a pioneer nearly eighty-three years old, and brother-in-law of ex-Lieut. Gov. Brush, died at Greeley on the 10th inst. of disease incident to old age. Mr. Bennett came to Greeley over thirty years ago. John E. Godding, late president of the State Bank of Rocky Ford, convicted of receiving deposits after the bank was insolvent and sentenced to eight to ten years in the penitentiary at Canon City, was received into that institution on the 12th inst. The scientific students and members of the University Scientific Society of the State University are cooperating with the office of state dairy commissioner for the purpose of purifying the milk and milk products which are produced in Boulder county. The new town of Kuner, nine miles east of Greeley, has notified C. S. Morey, president of the Great Western Sugar Company, that it will donate eighty acres for a building and furnish water if he will establish a sugar factory there. Kuner town has a large cultivated area tributary to it. It is reported that a $500,000 structure to be most attractive in architecture and a combination of a terminal depot for the new electric railway and a first-class hotel, is to be built on Union avenue in Pueblo, and that Sam F. Dutton of the Albany hotel of Denver has practically consented to take its management. Denver.—A Grand Junction dispute says: A steam railroad from Grand Junction to the Plateau valley, a distance of forty miles, will be constructed, provided the people of that section will raise a bonus of $75,000. This was the announcement made by George Smith, a Western slope promoter, who has just returned from New York. The Denver Reservoir Irrigation Company has just let a contract for the completion of the Stanley Lake dam, one of the chief works of the project, five miles north of the city limits of Denver. Kenefick & Quigley, of Kansas City, have undertaken the work for $420,000. To date on dams, canals and tunnels for the system, the irrigation company has let contracts calling for an expenditure of about $1,620,000. Conrad Markus, who came to Colorado from Russia six years ago to work in the beet fields, has just purchased an 80-acre farm a mile west of Greeley, for $13,000 from A. Z. Salomon of Denver, who has held the land twenty years. Salomon purchased 320 acres for $1.50 an acre and values his remaining tract at $150 an acre. Work on the Riverside reservoir in Larimer county has been completed and 525 cubic feet of water a second is now being run into this, the largest reservoir in the county.

"Now, I don't want to talk insurance today," snapped the freight agent. "I can't blame you a bit," said the insurance agent, suavely; "if you'll simply stop, look and listen, I'll do every bit of the talking." Result of a Licking. "Tommy," said the teacher to a small pupil who had got the short end of a fistic encounter. "don't you know it is wrong to fight?" "I didn't till I got licked," was the significant reply.-Chicago News. TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS Some Lessons from the Recent International Gathering at Washington. The optimism displayed by those servants who convened in Washington during September and October, regarding the control, if not annihilation, of tuberculosis, was one of the most encouraging signs of the times. Prevention was the keynote of the meeting. The world is only waking up to what can be accomplished in this way. It is now well known that the tubercle bacillus is necessary to the development of the disease. Persons afflicted with the disease throw these germs off in large numbers with the sputum and to a certain extent from the bowels. If all these were killed by disinfection or burning and our dairy herds were cleared of infected cows—which can easily be done with the tuberculin test—the world would soon be rid of the disease. But as it is hardly possible that they will all be destroyed in this way, we have to look to measures destined to increase the resistance of the individual as well. The exposure of the germ-laden material to fresh air and sunlight soon impairs its vitality to such a degree that it is much more easily resisted—in fact, it has been shown that two or three hours exposure to direct sunlight renders it practically harmless. The resistance of the individual is increased by the inhalation of an abundance of fresh air. In the living room or sleeping room, there should be enough circulation of air, that the breath of air that is exhaled should be carried away from the individuals nostrils before the succeeding inspiration takes place, so that there is as little rebreathing of air as possible, because it is well known that the germs cannot stand oxygen and for the further reason that the oxygen is a stimulant to the lung tissue and enables it to resist the onslaught of any chance germ which may have found lodgment; as evidence of this fact, it is almost always the parts of the lungs that are most difficult for air to reach that are first affected when the danger sets in. A considerable portion, at least, of the disease is caused by the germs being taken with food and drink. The principal source of infection by this reptile is milk which has come from a dairy herd, some one or more of which are tuberculous. Flies and other vermin sometimes feed upon germ laden sputum or other material and then carry it to food which is left unprotected. Food is also infected by such sputum drying and being blown about with the dust. Heredity plays a very small part, although it is recognized that a person born of a family in which there is a strong hereditary tendency is a little more likely to contract the disease than others would be. A person infected with tuberculosis should never spit in the open, but always into some receptacle, in order that the germs may be destroyed instead of being set at large to infect one else. By simple measures like these, tuberculosis has in less than ten years lost its place of distinction as "Captain of the Men of Death," destroying one-seventh of the human family. Prussia has reduced her death rate from this cause, 40 per cent. in ten years, New York 50 per cent. in fifteen years, Boston 55 per cent. in twenty years. The reduction during the three years that have elapsed since the last meeting of the Congress has been twice as rapid as any previous period of the same length of time. The opinion was expressed by Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, director of the Phipps Institute in Philadelphia, that if the crusade was continued with the vigor which seems likely, tuberculosis will be as well controlled in fifteen years as smallpox is now.

Six-year-old Marjorie and four-year-old Josephine were making their first transcontinental trip from New York to San Francisco—and, of course, encountered new marvels at almost every turn of the trip. But the crescendo of their ecstatic outpourings was reached when they saw their first Indian families—braves, squaws and papooses. "Oh-h-h!" sighed Josephine, gazing wild-eyed at the moccasined, gaudily blanketed squaws, "ain't those squashes just splendid, though!" Marjorie's equally deep admiration was momentarily quenched in her feeling of responsibility as elder-sister monitor, and she eyed Josephine severely as she admonished: "They ain't squashes, Josephine; they're squabs." INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT. After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed—Only Cuticura Proved Successful. "About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain rapidly, and my appetite was very poor.

Christmas Dinner by Toboggan Express ALVAH MILTON KERR (Copyright, 1908, by W. G. Chapman.) Donald Saunders had his first great adventure up in the Long's Peak country, a region famous throughout Colorado for heavy snows and avalanches. Donald came over from Denver, after graduating from high school, to spend the summer with Sumptier Saunders, his father's youngest brother. Sumpter was a very young uncle, indeed, being but 27 and not very long out of college, while Donald was 19. "Uncle Sump" was a big-boned, strapping fellow who had played center in his college football team, a man with laughing blue eyes and "teasing" ways but entertaining serious dreams of owning a great mine, if strength and pluck and persistence would bring one to light. He was running a tunnel on what he believed to be an excellent gold-bearing prospect, up in the Long's Peak country. Donald went out to help him. The tall boy had notions of becoming a mining engineer, and here was experience that might prove of value when he should be ready to enter a technical school. The world is very much in confusion up in that country, the earth having been flung about at all sorts of angles, heaped and ragged and tumbled. Streams sprawl in foamy J. T. W. Donald's Gray Eyes Dilated with Sudden Fear and Horror. abandon through the canyons and the clumps of pines on the soaring steeps sing cheerly in the wind and sun. Donald found it all quite magical. He had purposed returning home to Denver in the autumn, but Sumpter having offered him an interest in the mine, should they succeed in striking quartz, he concluded to remain at least until Christmas. Donald's father, knowing the value of practical experience, thought it quite as well that his son should stay and rough it for awhile. There were deer and bear and mountain grouse in that lifted, broken region, but the two young fellows had little time for hunting them, being intent on driving the tunnel as rapidly and with as little delay and expense as possible. Sumpter had built a cabin close against the base of a perpendicular wall of rock at the side of the canyon in which his claim lay. In this cabin they lived very snugly, going down to Ward occasionally to bring up supplies. Donald had come up to that country over a little railroad that runs from Boulder to Ward, a bit of track upon which the snow rotary plows are busy most of the winter. Towards Christmas the young miners began to grow a bit lonesome and restless; they especially grew weary of ham and tinned meats and longed for venison, bear, beef, or almost any sort of flesh food that was fresh. Snow was heavy on the mountains and they could get about but little save upon snowshoes. Donald wished very ardently that he might go home for Christmas but made up his mind that to leave Sumpter in that white, lonely world would be selfish and cowardly, so he remained. Christmas morning Donald put on his snowshoes and, flinging Sumpter's rifle across his shoulder, he declared he was going to look for fresh meat. His uncle laughed at him but the hardy Scotch youth was resolute. "An old hunter," he said, "told me at the hotel down in Ward, the last time I was down, that a lot of deer wintered in the big thickets just back of us here; he said they were hard to get at but he'd found them there twice. I'm going up to see." Sumpter assented reluctantly, cautioning his nephew not to go too far away. The day was soft and mild, the white world all agleam with sunshine. Donald put on a pair of smoked glasses and started up the canyon. A half mile away he found a little "draw," up the slope of which he climbed until he came out upon the gleaming side of the mountain; thence he made his way slowly westward, passing around upheaving masses of dark stone, across slopes that were smooth as white satin, and, still further up the mountain side, found little hollows, evidently lined with brush but now filled with snow, simply big, glistening dimples in the mountain's fat face; but he saw no deer. Finally, being weary of laboring through what was very much like an infinite bed of glittering down, he reached a point on the steep slope apparently a quarter of a mile or so directly north of the cabin. As he stood there debating, if he should return to the "draw" or attempt to find a more direct route to the floor of the gulch, he suddenly felt himself moving. His first thought was that an earthquake was swaying the mountain or that he himself had been seized with vertigo. Then with a wild thrill he perceived that a strip of snow 200 feet wide and perhaps 500 feet in length was moving down the mountain side! Donald's gray eyes dilated with sudden fear and horror. He was thrown headlong in the snow, hearing as he fell the crunch of stones that were being ripped out of their beds and the crash and rending of stumps and roots as they parted from their sockets in the earth. With every pulse leaping in alarm he got to his feet, toppling and reeling and shouting for aid as he glanced about him. The next instant he was again thrown headlong. He was upon the back of a steed beside which the fabled Horse of Death was as an insect. Something went through his brain like a sheet of flame, in it a picture of Sumpter sitting by the open fire of pine logs down in the cabin, a book in his hand, undreaming of this ruthless monster rushing down to crush him. The next moment Donald was again upon his feet, pitching and clutching at the air and shouting. In that moment he saw a very amazing thing, though everything was both amazing and not amazing as in some sort of indescribable dream. A hundred feet to the rear of him, almost at the upper tip of the avalanche, he saw a bear rolling and tossing on the hurling mass. Thrown out of its hibernating bed among the rocks or decaying tree-roots, the animal was pitching about, now upon its feet then upon its back, helpless as a fly upon an ocean surge. Donald never knew why, but he shouted at the bear, and he never could recall afterwards exactly what it was he shouted. He says now that he thinks he commanded the bear not to roll down upon him, which was certainly absurd. In his mind were many glancing thoughts. In such moments the mentality of man sometimes seems as a diamond with many facets. He thought of the Christmas tree to be lighted in the parlor at home in Denver, of how tired he was of corned-beef, of where they would bury him when they took him crushed and dead from the snow at the bottom of the gulch, whether or not his school fellows if they now saw him would shout "Slide, Donald, slide!" as they used to when he was running the bases when playing ball, and many other things, all, seemingly, in a single moment. It must have been a very short period in which he was leaping and tumbling and whirling about on the mighty toboggan, for the avalanche ran down the mountain side like a swiftly hurrying snake, save that its undulations were up and down instead of sidewise as with a serpent. It seemed to Donald he had scarcely drawn six breaths before the snow-slide shot from the precipice above the cabin. Swift as was his flight he was conscious that the slide had leaped from the canyon wall, for throughout a few seconds there was no noise and he seemed being borne upon a bed of feathers through space, then there was a roar as of muffled thunder and he was wallowing deep in snow. The mental picture that had flashed through Donald's mind of his young uncle sitting by the fire engrossed in a printed romance, had been true to the fact. Sumpter had awakened to the coming of the avalanche only when it neared the brink of the wall, 70 feet above the cabin. His book dropped from his hand and he made a leap for the door. The next moment a bear crashed through the roof and smote the floor in front of the fire, leaving the luckless animal lifeless. Sumpter's face blanched as he stared at the strange object, then he thought of Donald and hurriedly pushed his way out of the door. The snow about the cabin was up to his neck and the roof was piled deep with it, but the bulk of the slide had leaped clear over the little house, heaping the bottom of the gulch to the opposite wall, some 600 feet away. The bear had dropped from the tail of this rushing mass directly upon the cabin. When Sumpter had got his frightened nephew out of the smother of stuff in which he was floundering, the two young fellows stood with pale faces staring at each other for a little space, then both, seeing what they had escaped, laughed joyously. "Come into the cabin," said Sumpter, "we will have broiled bear steak for Christmas dinner! Too many snowslides around here now; to-morrow we will pull out for Denver. In the spring we will come back and tunnel until we strike the vein." All of which come true. Bad "Did you enjoy the play last night?" "No. It was awful. I could write a better one myself." "H-m. Then it must be bad."—Detroit Free Press. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest Contains neither Opium, Morphine nor Mineral NOT NARCOTIC Recipe of Old Dr. SAMUEL PITCHER Pumpkin Seed - Alcumine - Rochelle Salts - Amine Seed - Peppermint - Bilcorpinate Soda - Worm Seed - Clarified Sugar Wintergreen Flavor Aperfect Remedy for Constipation, Sour Stomach, Diarrhoea, Worms, Convulsions, Feverishness and LOSS OF SLEEP.

CAMPHOR AS A FAMILY FRIEND. Valuable Medicine, and Useful In Many Other Ways. Few people realize the valuable adjunct camphor is in the household. They use it as a moth preventive, when they do not growl about the cost and substitute tar ball, but beyond that give it little thought. Yet camphor is valuable in many ways as a cleanser and insect chaser Shades made of cut glass or silver over linings of different colors are very pretty and also very practical, since the color can be changed so easily. The silk shades made of imitation rose petals come in all colors, and are not expensive. Those with the bead fringe are very pretty, but are apt to bend the candle with their weight. Hand painted shades are sometimes extremely attractive, but frequently not in good taste. The empire shapes are at present highest in favor, but certainly are not as graceful as the more flaring shapes.—Harper's Bazar. Belt Pins and Sashes Belt pins have taken the place of the buckles, for they are more easily adjusted. The long chains of beads are replaced now by the ribbon bayaderes, slender bits of satin or ribbon knotted and tied with pendants of gold, silver or semi-precious stones in the form of tassels; some of them have tiny buckles as well, and often they match in color and method of tying and making the sashes, which are another novelty of the season's styles. These sashes, in turn, are heavy with gold and silver tassels, are narrow, looped and twisted, with a tendency to come from unexpected nooks of the gown, and with the filmy shoulder scarfs give the floating fluffy effect of femininity that is desirable this year. The bayaderes may be worn with the tailor-made suits and relieve the stiffness. New Colors. The new colors are many. Apricot is one of the leading tints for evening wear. Lavender and some of the new shades of blue are cunningly combined, but this has to be done warily. Ask any Parisian the favorite colors and she will prefix any mentioned with the adjective old; it must be old rose, old blue, old mauve. There are many shades of blue worn, the imperial, a rather dull shade, being especially liked. Russian blue and paper blue are other tints in favor. Wistaria is another of the new names for an old color, and caoutchouc, or rubber color, a kind of grayish mauve, is much worn in everything—coats, hats, gowns, even in evening gowns, the trimmings relieving the somberness. How to Keep Violets. I always keep my violets for five days. I wear them all day and when I come into the house I sprinkle them with very cold water, and allow the water to run directly upon the stems of the flowers. Then I saturate oiled paper with cold water and wind this around the stems and place a piece of oiled paper, well sprinkled, over the top of the violets and place them back in the box. I generally keep the violets on the sill outside of my window. —Harper's Bazar. The Slashed Coat The slash at each side of the coat is now necessary for walking. The new coats are so narrow at the hem that if they were left without an opening American women would have to learn the queer new sidestep called "walking" in Paris. Dusky Blue. The new color that is a good deal talked about with the designers is known as dusky blue. It comes in mousseline, in suede, in cloth and in plumes. 300 Shades of Cloth. Possibly no one fact speaks as much for the infinite variety of dyed cloths this year than the announcement that the shops can sell 300 colors in one cloth alone. CAMPHOR AS A FAMILY FRIEND. Valuable Medicine, and Useful In Many Other Ways. Few people realize the valuable adjunct camphor is in the household. They use it as a moth preventive, when they do not growl about the cost and substitute tar ball, but beyond that give it little thought. Yet camphor is valuable in many ways as a cleanser, and insect chaser and as a medicine. The darkest stain on mirror or window pane can generally be routed with a flannel dipped in spirits of camphor. Rub until dry. Camphor, either in the lump or the liquid form, is hated by mosquitoes and will keep them off when all other methods fail. As a medicine it is invaluable if used judiciously. If six or ten drops are taken on a lump of sugar when sneezing starts, a bad cold in the head can often be checked. This dose should not be repeated closer than an hour apart. It is important in taking camphor internally to be sure that it agrees with you; the mildest dose is harmful to certain people and occasionally a person is found whom it throws into consciousness. If taken too steadily, even when there seems to be no injurious effect, it lowers the circulation and eventually weakens the heart. A few drops of liquid camphor will often stop nausea, while setting fire to the lumps and inhaling the fumes sometimes works a similar cure. For cold sores a small phial of camphor should be carried in the pocket and rubbed on the lips at frequent intervals. If taken in time it will usually back the blisters. THE WORLD'S FASHION The tailor-made suit, as usual, will be a salient part of milady's winter wardrobe and simple, perfect lines is the especial feature. The illustration is a good example of a smart costume in navy blue cloth, simply trimmed with a wide black soutache braid around the neck and tops of the turned-back cuffs. Narrow braid is used on the trig little inset vest and body of coat. The skirt is close-fitting, following the lines of the figure, and is one of the most satisfactory models put forth this season. A Popular Hat. A rational hat that is finding favor among women who take a middle ground in the styles is covered with velvet draped with silk and trimmed rather far back with barnyard plumage and one fluffy gray white aligrette that softens the mass. These hats come in one-color schemes such as myrtle green, chestnut brown, faded violet and black.

Apple Ginger Not Hard to Prepare, and Will Remain Good a Long Time—Recipe for Butter Apple Ginger—Two pounds of any kind of hard apples, two pounds of loaf sugar, one and one-half pints of water, one ounce of tincture of ginger. Boil the sugar and water until they form a rich sirup, adding the ginger when it boils up. Pare, core and cut the apples into pieces; dip them in cold water to preserve the color, and boil them in the sirup until transparent, but be careful not to let them break. Put the pieces of apple into jars, pour over the sirup and carefully exclude the air by well covering them. It will remain good for some time if kept in a dry place. Apple Butter—Boil one barrel of new cider down half, peel and core three bushels of good cooking apples; when the cider has boiled to half the quantity add the apples and when soft stir constantly for from eight to ten hours. If done it will adhere to an inverted plate. Put away in stone jars (not earthenware) covering first with writing paper cut to fit the jar, and press down closely upon the apple butter; cover the whole with thick brown paper snugly tied down. Apple Jelly—Apples, water; to every pint of sirup allow three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar. Pare and cut the apples into pieces, remove the cores and put them in a preserving pan with sufficient cold water to cover them. Let them boil for an hour; then drain the sirup from them through a hair sieve or jelly bag and measure the juice; to every pint allow three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar and boll these together for three-quarters of an hour, skimming every particle off same as it rises and keeping the jelly well stirred, that it may not burn. A little lemon rind may be boiled with the apples and a small quantity of strained lemon juice may be put in the jelly just before it is done, when the flavor is liked. It should be stored away in small pots. Southern Beaten Biscuit. Sift together one quart flour, a salt-spoonful salt, and a half teaspoonful baking powder. Rub into the flour with the tips of the fingers a heaping tablespoonful lard, then add a cup of milk or enough to make a stiff dough, stiffer than for bread. Now if you follow the old time method of beating, take a biscuit beater or rolling pin and beat the dough on a block of hard wood until it blisters and pops. It takes a strong arm and a skillful one to beat well. Cut into rounds about the size of a watch (medium size), prick with a fork, and bake about 30 minutes in a moderate oven. If you like short cuts in your culinary methods instead of beating try running the dough through a food chopper about six times. This blisters the dough as well as the traditional method of beating and can be done in a tenth of the time. Sea Foam Fudge (Nut). Put into a saucepan three cupfuls of light brown sugar, a cupful of cold water and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Bring this to the boil gradually and do not stir after it is once heated. Boll steadily, and when a little of it dropped into water forms a hard ball, take from the fire. Beat stiff the whites of two eggs and when the sirup has stopped bubbling pour in on these and beat well. When it begins to stiffen, flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla and add a cupful of chopped nut kernels—hickory, pecan or English walnuts. Drop on paper or turn into a greased pan and mark off in squares or triangles.—Delineator. Mayonnaise Dressing Take the yolks of two eggs, one-half a teaspoonful of salt, one-half an egg, spoonful mustard, and a little white pepper. Mix the yolks and mustard together with a fork, then add olive oil very slowly, not more than a few drops at a time. Keep stirring and adding the oil until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Add salt, white pepper and malt and tarragon vinegar. More malt than tarragon is used. The vinegar will thin it to the proper consistency. Serve with lettuce, celery, or any kind of salad. Baltimore, Whip. Grate the rind of two lemons and squeeze out the juice; add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla, one cup of pulverized sugar, two whites of eggs, and the yolks of four. Beat for ten minutes. Dissolve two boxes of gelatin in a cup of warm water; when cool add to other ingredients drop by drop, then fold in the well-beaten whites of four eggs, beating constantly. Turn the mixture into a glass dish, beating constantly. Serve with orange juice sweetened and maraschino syrup. To Clean Bathtubs. To clean bathtubs, washbowls, and white sinks, use benzine or gasoline, saturate a rag and rub all over, and then rub dry with another cloth; if they are dirty, repeat. This will save labor and also the porcelain on the tubs and sinks; keep benzine in a glass jar and keep away from fire. Butter Scotch Put one-half pound of brown sugar, one gill of water and a tablespoonful of vinegar on to boil. Boil ten minutes, add two ounces of butter and continue boiling until brittle, when dropped in cold water. Turn into greased, ans, and when cold, break into irregular pieces.

These people of the white world, these children of the snow and ice, give themselves little concern regarding what is going on in worlds beyond their own. The climate in which they live and the limitations of their whole environment make it impossible, writes J. L. Harbour in Leslie's Weekly, that there should be much change in their own manner of life, and they do not care for the changes that soap and water might make in their domestic life, while the women of the family are not anxious to adopt changes in methods of cooking that might make some of the dishes they prepare much cleaner and far less deadly than they appear to be. But the best-filled larder in the homes of the most affluent of the Eskimos offers little in the way of variety in food and the question so vexing to the American housewife: "What shall we have for breakfast?" or for dinner or supper, never troubles the Eskimo housewife, since these meals may not vary for months at a time and are prepared in the primitive way in which they were prepared by the Eskimos of generations ago. The dress of the women and the men is so much alike that if an Eskimo lady's husband's clothes happened to be better than her own she might borrow them to wear to some Eskimo society function without exciting any comment as to her dress. As in some other lands, the man is regarded as a being vastly superior to the woman, and the birth of a girl is never regarded as a blessing. Indeed, it often happens that both the father and mother resort to that unavailing folly of tears and lamentations when it is announced that a new comer is a girl. A boy can become a great fisherman or a great hunter, while a girl—of what use is she? A mere cumberer of the earth, regardless of the fact that she works as many hours a day as, and even more than, a man when she reaches the goal of her ambition and marries. Not to marry is as sad a misfortune as may befall her, and if she is married and widowed she makes all possible haste in securing a second partner. Having secured from eminent counsel an opinion to the effect that a certain provision in the will of the late Jay Gould will not stand in court, Prince Helie gamely signifies his willingness to take a chance. British statesmen who think the United States will receive with open arms immigrants that Canada turns away have not been reading the American newspapers during the past few years.
