The April fool of Colorado was the lamentable legislature. In 1908 the great unwashed Democracy met in the city of Pueblo and like Negro conventions—resolved. And another parallel desernable in its similarity to Negro conventions, is its barronness of results. Here the similarity ends. The Pueblo convention was perhaps one of the most unique in the history of politics. It was guided and advised by a presidential candidate, and William Jennings Bryan made much of his opportunity. When this memorable gathering became history and the party of Bryan triumphed in Colorado, and great things were expected. The Pueblo meeting adopted a war cry of "platform promises," and the Democratic platform was as full of promises as the proverbial seive. But when the legislative body met with such an overwhelming Democratic majority, even then dyed-in-the-wool Republicans set up and took notice believing that "Honest" John and the Democratic majority would redeem the platform pledges. For ninety days the assembly set with a record that would bring a blush of shame to the ghostly face of departed Populism. The taxpayers of Colorado have the burden to bear. The lack of results is due to the peculiar motive actuating the majority membership of both houses. The Pueblo convention, while it deceived the great majority of our voters will be remembered as a curse to Colorado. With a miserable record for Democracy and the governor about to saddle the doubtful expedient of an extra session for the purpose of enacting party measures, the future of the grand old party looks good in Colorado. Just gird up your loins. ABOUT GOOD MORALS. This great moral and family journal devoted to the uplift of the Negro, hardly gives a thought to the white man. We have long since learned that the white man is amply able to care for himself and his own. But we were interested a few weeks ago in an article appearing in one of our city dailies, touching the criminal and immoral tendencies of all classes. While no specific mention was made of the Negro we cannot pass this up without a word of comment. The constant recruiting of the criminal classes from the younger element renders the situation to our mind very acute and deserving of very careful consideration by all classes of our people. The disposition to pass lightly over the faults and misdeeds of the people seems to be taken as a tacit consent for them to repeat. When one considers the large and ever increasing army of young people apparently unemployed sleeping by day and wandering by night, the problem becomes serious. Here is where all our churches and all other moral forces must join hands for the purpose of taking care of this class. A high moral standard means, a high class of citizens. A good class of citizens always find something to do. It is the careless indifferent element that is destroying the races chances in this state. Let us get our boys and girls off the street. Let all moral forces combine for the good of our people. CIVAL RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO. A story is going the rounds calculated to frighten some of our people. From whence it came is hard to say but the beautifully misleading canard about the race loosing its right is a bit of absurdity. The civil rights of the Negro are a part of the constitution of this country just the same as the white man's rights. As citizens of this country the Negro has the same rights and privileges as a white man. The question is does he always enjoy them? But that has nothing to do with the case. Enjoyment of natural and civic rights come only when the races with whom we come in contact are compelled to respect us. The power that compells respect comes as much from within ourselves as from the other races. There was a time when the people, German and Irish were unpopular but by thrift and right living they have won a place. The dispised Jew is compelling the respect of the world. He sells old clothes and furnishes the money for our banks and railroads Just quit howling about your right and develop a character unimpeachable for honesty and integrity and put your earnings away. This is bread on the waters, it returns after many days. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, RACE NEWS GAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Trenton, N. J., April 6.—The house-today passed a bill preventing Negroes from using the name, or wearing the emblem of the Be nevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Professing to have been humiliated by being forced to ride in the same compartment on a street car with white women, Carrie Conley, colored, of Frankfort, Ky., has sued the Central Kentucky Traction Company for $3,000. Waco, Texas, April 2—Negro citizens in several counties of Texas have formally requested the white citizens to permit them to elect one Negro public school trustee to every two white trustees. Elections for school trustees take place tomorrow. It is not believed the white voters will agree to the plan. At last there has been organized and put into operation a broom factory located at Smithvale, Okla. 3 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. The factory is owned by Rolf and Scruggs, two wide awake young men of this city, and managed by L. H. Smith who is one of the best broom makers in the West. The factory is capitalized at $1,000 and has machinery with a making capacity of 12 dozen per day. Washington, D.C., March 29. Robert C. Ogden, of New York, on account of ill health, has declined membership on the commission which is to go to Liberia to make a study of conditions there for this Government. The commission will go to Liberia on a war vessel, which they will make their home during the investigation. The Empire Colored Circus Company was organized last week by E. J. Colwell, Tim Long and S. Robinson, of Cleveland, with $1,000 capital. They have an 80x 100 big top, 40x60 dressing top 30x50 cook top, all new. They will carry all colored performers except Russian dancers and cycle whirl, and will be the only colored circus in America. They have at present the following acts: Fred Johnson, unicycle and roller skating acts; Colwell, head and chair balance, tight wire and slack wire; Varaldo, sword climbing and juggling; Gordon Bunch, clown; Robinson, single traps and perch. They will carry a band of ten pieces. Montgomery, Ala., Remarkable honors were paid here to the memory of Bob Goodwin, a Negro hero, who was drowned in the Alabama river, while trying to rescue two white men. Hundreds of white persons, men, women and children took part in the funeral services, and eight cadets of a fashionable military high school served as pallbearers. The procession to the grave included the carriages of many prominent white persons of Montgomery, and the funeral was conducted by the leading undertaker of the city. The expenses were paid by E. W. Bliss whom Goodwin saved from drowning several months ago. For this act the school children of Montgomery gave the Negro a gold medal. Leland Giants, of Chicago, Ill., will open this season by taking the longest trip a team ever took in the history of baseball, with the possible exception of the Cnicago American League team. The owners of the above team have been assured the players will not suffer any humiliation nowhere along the route, which covers several Southern States. The trip is one personally planned by the Leland's most successful manager, Mr. Andrew ("Rube") Foster. The entire trip, which includes 3668 miles of travel, will be taken in two of the most complete compartment cars ever sent out from Chicago, employing the following servants: Two waiters, two cooks, one American and one French; valet, dishwasher, and manager. PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO (Editorial from Rocky Mountain News, April 8th.) A little yellow-covered pamphlet is lying on the desk as we write, a pamphlet that deserves ten times the circulation it will ever get in its present form. It is a study of Negro progress in Jackson, Miss., and of the Negro banking business in the same state. It shows, as nothing else could show, that the Negro is gradually winning economic independence, and while that of itself affords no answer to the eternal race question it does hold out a hope that the answer will be found. The Negroes of Jackson own early one-third of the area of the town. It is the lowest-priced area for the most part, but even so the advance in the past dozen years is startling. The assessed valuation of the real property owned by 566 Negroes averaged a little over $1,000 per individual. Many Negroes own houses which they rent to others of their race. A surprising number are saving a little of their wages to make monthly payments on a let where they expect to build a home; and the report states that when a Negro family moves from a rented house to one which it owns the new home averages one room larger than the old one. All told, the Negroes of Jackson own about $1,250,000 worth of property. A far too large proportion of this is in the hands of a very few individuals, but an increasing number of Negroes are saving their money, launching out in business for themselves, or getting a home of their own. The Negro banking business of Mississippi is in a flourishing condition. In 1904 the Negro banks of the state had resources amounting to $50,000. In 1908 the Negro banks had resources amounting to $750,000. It is worthy of note that none of the Negro banks of Mississippi went down in the panic of 1907. These figures do not solve the race problem. Very far from it. They do not even point to the solution of the race problem, which remains now what it has always been, the grimmest, most menacing thing that confronts the American people. But at least these figures give reason to hope that the solution, when found at last, will be reached through reason, not through passion. The Negro with a bank deposit does not commit the crimes which set a white community crazy with revenge. Neither is a race with millions of dollars of bank deposits, with a contracting business rivaling that of the whites, with doctors, lawyers, mechanics, teachers and bankers of its own, a thing which a few noisy and empty-headed demagogues can continue to use as a political football. The Negro who helps himself helps the white man, too. The more the Negro becomes a factor to be reconed with in the economic world, the greater probability that the unguessed reckoning will be right. WASHINGTON LETTER WASHINGTON LETTER Dr. W. D. Crum to Recieve Receive Responsible Position in Panama. Banquet in Honor of Judge R. H. Terrell. BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL There is a rumor going the rounds here among politicians which is receiving unusual credit to the effect that Dr. W. D. Crum, recently Collector of the Port of Charleston, S. C., is soon to be given a responsible position in the Panama zone. There seems to be an impression that Dr. Crum is entitled to something good in the way of Federal recognition and a position in Panama may be in keeping with this impression NO. 29 The statement has been advanced that in view of the fact that Mr. Crum is a physician his services might well be utilized along the lines of his profession in the canal district. There are a large number of colored men from the West Indies and some few from the United States at work on the canal, and it may be possible that Dr. Crum will be employed in some capacity among these workmen. Bishop J. C. Hartzell, in charge of the missionary work of the Methodist church in Africa had a talk with the President on Saturday about Liberia, and what the work of the Commission will probably be in connection with the African Republic. Dr. Booker T. Washington also called upon the President and talked with him in connection with the Liberian Commission. Superlative degree descriptions of whatever takes place in Washington are said by many to be familiar. Scribes, reporting affairs from here are perhaps too often tempted to use "sky-high language" when writing about what is simply an earthly happening. Everything done or taking place in Washington is apt to be chronical as the "greatest ever," the "grandest in history," and the like. So unreservedly in this superlative lingo quoting spread that when a truly superior affair like the banquet tendered to Judge Robert H. Terrell last Friday evening a week ago is described we are at a loss for some lofty and adequate language necessary to do it credit. However, the superior degree adjectives grand, brilliant, and rich are modest words to use in characterizing this banquet given by Washington's most representative citizens who gathered upon that occasion to do honor to Judge Terrell. By virtue of a recent act of Congress creating a Municipal Court for the District of Columbia, Mr. Terrell was elevated to the bench of that body. It should be born in mind that all courts in the District of Columbia are Federal courts and by the operation of this law Mr. Terrell becomes the first Federal Judge the colored people of the country have produced. Banquets in Washington are natural. They come as do the gentle rains and sometimes almost as often, but the one given in honor of Juoge Terrell was without a doubt one of the most brilliant and perfect ever held here. The beautiful dining room of Mr. James Gray on Pennsylvania Avenue was the scene of the festive gathering, and Mr. Gray, one the best equipped men in the country to handle such affairs spared nothing in adding to its richness and elegance. This affair was a compliment and an expression of the pride the colored people of the District feel in the elevation of Mr. Terrell to the Federal bench, and if the splendid gathering witnessed on that evening may be taken as an evidence of a people's appreciation, Judge Terrell may well feel complimented.

Tracy, of New York, has aroused the interest of the medical profession through his new theory that dyspepsia is, in many cases, due to an irritated brain center and can be cured by electrical applications. Dr. Tracy told the members of the Bloomingdale clinic of his experiments and explained the use of electricity as a remedy. He said that through the use of high electric currents and a tube that produced a violet light he had cured numerous cases of dyspepsia. MUST BELIEVE IT.

"She seems to be having a pretty good time now that she and her husband are separated," whispered the three girls in the corner as she entered the room. "I don't blame her," said one. "He beat her, didn't he?" They looked her over again. "Well, I don't blame him for beating her," the third declared, "if she dressed like that. That red is awful." A. Slight Boost.

As the stout man whose appetite had excited the envy of the other boarders turned to leave the parlor, he looked down at his waistcoat. "T declare, I've lost two buttons off my vest," he said, ruefully. He was a new boarder, but his landlady saw no reason for further delay in showing her banner "Watchfulness and Economy for all." She gave him the benefit of the chill gaze so familiar to her older boarders.

"Lose your head on the stage, and you are bound to say 'Now Rabababbas was a bobber,' for Barabbas was a robber.' "On a first night I heard a tragedian refer to the Deity as 'a shoving leopard,' when he meant 'a loving shepherd.' "You make me a boff and a skyword! I once shouted in a tank drama. "My uncle, a divine, concluded an address on the suffrage before a women's club with the terrible words: 'But I bore you; I will cease; I do not wish to address a lot of beery wenches.' My poor uncle meant 'weary benches.' "I was a duke in a recent problem play, and when my servant asked me one night if I had any luggage, I replied: 'Only two rags and a bug.' SISTER'S TRICK But It All Came Out Right. How a sister played a trick that brought rosy health to a coffee fiend is an interesting tale: "I was a coffee fiend—a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to the poison that stole away my strength. I mocked at Postum and would have none of it. "One day my sister substituted a cup of Postum piping hot for my morning cup of coffee but did not tell me what it was. I noticed the richness of it and remarked that the coffee tasted fine but my sister did not tell me I was drinking Postum for fear I might not take any more. "She kept the secret and kept giving me Postum instead of coffee until I grew stronger, more tireless, got a better color in my sallow cheeks and a clearness to my eyes, then she told me of the health-giving, nerve-strengthening life-saver she had given me in place of my morning coffee. From that time I became a disciple of Postum and no words can do justice in telling the good this cereal drink did me. I will not try to tell it, for only after having used it can one be convinced of its merits." Ten days' trial shows Postum's power to rebuild what coffee has destroyed. "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

Directions for the Making of Various Kinds of Flavoring. Gelatine custard’ are boiled cus- tards, chilled and stiffened with gela- tine.’ When delicately flavored and served with rich cream they are de- licious and wholesome. For a coffee jelly, prepare a boiled custard with two cups of milk, two egg yolks and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. While it is hot add two tablespoonfuls of gela- tine that has been dissolving in a little cold water. Stir into the custard, also two or three teaspoonfuls of coffee ex- tract, or enough to suit the taste. Set the custards away to cool until ready to serve. Just as they are becoming hard, the whipped whites of the eggs may be stirred through them, and well beaten in. They are an improvement, but not essential. To prepare coffee extract pour about a tablespoonful of boiling water over one or two tea- spoonfuls of powdered coffee and squeeze it through muslin, repeating, if necessary, two or three times. It should be very strong to make a good dessert. ‘ Flavorings of wine, vanilla, orange, lemon, almond, etc., may be used in: stead of coffee. Preserved ginger cut in tiny strips and boiled with the cus- tard is sometimes used as a flavoring. Only enough should be used to give a delicate flavor. The gelatine custards are like blanc mange, the only difference being the egg yolks, which turn them from white to yellow. =__>te_» pene es €é yee YW Cook dried fruits on top of the fur- nace.

TWO weeks ago two big men, a long distance apart, as regards both their locality and their stations in life, had their deepest thoughts centered alike upon the same far-away section of the earth, as if, to them, the remotest and least-known part of creation possessed the greatest enchantment. Theodore Roosevelt, ex-president of the United States and one of the world's acknowledged great men, took ship at New York on March 23rd, for his voyage across the Atlantic to begin his much heralded year's so-journ in Africa. The world was given all the details of his start and cheering thousands of his admirers waved him adieu and watched his ship go out to sea. Roosevelt is going hunting; that's all. With the pent up longing of a huntsman who has had experience with the biggest game in the wildest regions of America, he stepped out of the wearing duties of official life and turned his eyes to the world's paradise for the big game hunter, the wilderness of East Africa. There long harnessed genius will find abandon and recreation. Once an ingenious newspaper correspondent suggested that Mr. Roosevelt was going to Africa to study the Negro, and more recently announcement was made at a ministerial conference that he would do his utmost to further the cause of Christianity in a region where Mohammed's followers or barbarions are most numerous. Away with these fancies! Roosevelt has gone to Africa to hunt. But as he was preparing to leave, a Negro, of whom the world knows nothing, was leading a likewise comparatively insignificant "society" of his own making, in an "annual meeting" in Denver, in the almost hopeless effort to arouse interest among Negroes in the land of their ancestors. G. N. Walker must be given credit for perseverance. He has been carrying on this effort for twenty-four years, under the conviction that his humble idea is founded in truth and that the thought sown will some day bear its fruit. He has made some progress in his long and tireless mission. But the depth of his conviction, the tirelessness of his application and the strenuousness of his effort, limited only by the capacity of an intellect of wonderful self-development, mark him as a genius of that type which is destined to labor on unrecognized. Who can say that the ceaseless life-work of this simple man is but a useless dream? Millions of men die before the good they have done is recognized. In a few months the deeds of the hunter in Africa will be heralded to an eager world. But year after year all those sacred impulses which thoughts of Africa arouse in the breasts of men like Nash Walker, whose hearts bleed for a sign of the redemption of the benighted millions of their race, will throb with vain hope, and increase under their own restraint, until the good longed for is born out of their suffering, though the souls that inspired them have long since gone on to their Creator.

Some years thousands of immigrants crowd the Eastern ports of the United States and give the watchful observer the opinion that a large portion of the peasantry of Europe is fleeing from the evils of monarchial reign and seeking longed-for liberties in the unparalleled haven of the new world. The vast numbers of poor immigrants, largely from Italy, Greece and Poland, with a considerable representation from Southern Russia, would make this presumption appear true, if it were not for the fact that in other years this surprising volume takes a more surprising slump and not only falls off fifty or more per cent., but actually develops a counter movement in which numbers of former immigrants return to their former homes in the old world. This counter movement became particularly noticeable during 1908, while the presidential campaign was in progress. It is found, therefore, that the general incentive among immigrants, and the true spirit of emigration, lies in the special desire and need for industrial improvement more than in any settled demand for political liberty, for whenever industrial conditions in any of these European countries point toward progress, the number of their emigrants dwindle correspondingly, and the prospect of industrial depression in the United States, sends many of our embryotic citizens back across the waters. Of course, this is not true with all elements, but as a general immigration deduction it is a fact. If personal and political liberty alone formed a sufficient incentive in this age for a class of people to leave its native country and seek a more favorable quarter of the world, the colored people of the United States might more readily seek the relief which emigration would warrant, but the lack of warrant of improved industrial opportunities along with the enjoyment of needful educational influences form an effective bar to the consideration of such a subject. The Negro nature may hold higher motives in abeyance, but for the present era he will be influenced largely as other races and elements are influenced.

The poetic temperament denotes emotions with which the blood of ordinary men is less charged. Genius Is a Form of Madness By Prof. George E. Woodberry. The genius experiments with life; he finds his natural habitat in new and unknown fields. Genius shapes upon his silent lips the master words of many thousands of men. In ancient Greece the state of genius was one of madness. Genius is the fleeting emotional overflow. It is emotion giving speed to the intellect. It is the emotional flooding of the soul. It is the common emotional experience of men in a higher intensity. It is a drunkenness of the senses. It is in the sphere of the infinite. It makes of poetry the prophet's garment. It is the intellectual child of emotion. Emotion, moreover, is the servant of the highest reason. It is the common emotional experience It is a drunkenness of the senses.

Heroic Endeavor of Mule Trader to Squirm Out of Tight Hole. Mr. Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court, in lecturing before his law class at the George Washington university some years ago, had occasion to illustrate an argument regarding the flight of time, and the story he told in illustration was rather better than the usual "darky" skit. "I knew of a case once," said the justice, "where two darkies swapped mules. One of them was an old hand at the business, and in making the trade he represented his mule to be seven years old. This was in February, and the new possessor of the mule had not had it long when he discovered that he had been materially cheated, on the point of the mule's age, at least. But the victim did not manage to find the man who had victimized him until well along into the month of June. Having found him, however, he at once accused his opponent of making rascally misreprentations to him regarding the true age of the mule in question. "You say," said the former proprietor of the mule, "dat when you got de mule in February dat he was seben year old—huh? An' now it's June an' you 'low he's twelb year old?" I do: was the angry response. "The trickster rolled his eyes and shook his kinky head. 'Ma soul, man!' he groaned. 'Time sho do飞!'." REAL CAUSE FOR DEEP GRIEF. Tragdty That Came Into the Life of Temperance Worker. Adjusting the tiny bow of white ribbon at her breast, she smiled faintly. "No," she sald, "I shall never keep a pet again. Since poor Pete died—" she smiled again that faint, sad smile. "Old maids become too deeply attached to pets. Pete's death—I'll never get over it. It was a tragedy. "I am an ardent temperance worker. Next to my temperance work, if not ahead of it, I set Pete. How I loved him. And one afternoon he was brought home dead. An automobile, you know. "Tragedy enough, was it not? But something was to come to make the tragedy more poignant. For distraction, after Pete's loss, I plunged deeper into temperance work, and it was chiefly through my efforts that Harrison, my next door neighbor, had his saloon license taken away. "The day after I testified against him, Harrison accosted me on the street. "A fine temperance one you are," said he. 'Why, your very dog was a drunkard.' "Pete a drunkard! Nonsense!" said I. "Every day of his life," said Harrison, 'Pete visited my barroom, and few were the days somebody or other didn't treat him. On the afternoon he was killed he mixed whisky with his beer, and when he rolled off homeward he was a sight to see. Drunk? He was blind, staggerin' drunk. That's how he came to get killed. Pete, your dog, died drunk." "I put my handkerchief to my eyes. The ruined saloonkeeper, smiling vindictively, gloated over my grief. It was true. Pete, my darling Pete, died drunk!"

Music by Lohmann's orchestra. Captain Silas H. Johnson of Hose Co. No. 3, while responding to a fire alarm last Sunday morning, was thrown from the wagon and sustained painful injuries. One of the wheels of the hose cart passed over him, and he was otherwise severely shaken up. The city physician believed him to have sustained internal injuries. He was taken to his residence, 1721 Marion street, and Dr. Westbrook was called. At this writing he is reported as doing nicely. The attendance at the Eureka Literary Society was very fair considering the bad weather. The following program being rendered: Miss Louise Harris, instrumental selection; Miss Lulu Fisher, recitation; Miss Gertie Nichols, paper on Temperance; Mrs. Gabriel Savage, select reading; Curtis Harris, the rising young comedian, did his little stunt which took very well, after which a traveling quartette of musical performers gave two vocal numbers which met with the approval of the listeners. They were heartily applauded. Rudolph B. Scott, a former resident of this city, died in Spokane, Wash., a few days ago. Several years ago he was married to Miss Della Wagoner, daughter of the late H. O. Wagoner and sister to Mrs. M. M. Beatty. Mr. Scott was a prominent man in his adopted state and held many prominent positions. He leaves a widow and several children besides a host of friends to mourn his death. Mr. Scott at one time was publisher of the Chicago, Ill., Conservator. He had the distinguished honor of being the first colored man to be employed in the railway mail service in Colorado as clerk, being succeeded in that capacity by John M. Williams, after which Mr. Scott went to Spokane. IN MEMORIAM. In loving remembrance of our beloved husband and father, Irving Williams, who reparted this life one year ago, April 11, 1908: "The crown of life he weareth, He bears the shining palm, The 'Holy, holy,' shareth, And joins the angel's psalm; But we, poor pilgrims wander Still through this land of woe, Till we shall meet him yonder, And all his joy shall know."

M. E. church, the Afro-American Ministerial Union met in regular conference. Interesting reports of last Sunday's work were made and new stimulus was given to the readers of the Christian forces of the city. An exhaustive and suggestive paper was read by Rev. A. E. Reynolds on "The Acts of the Apostles." It was well received and fully discussed by the Union. Rev. Over, the new pastor of Zion Baptist church, comes to the Union as a welcome and happy addition. The following announcements were made: An opening at Central Baptist, the third Sunday in the month; the twelve-hundred dollar rally of Shorter A. M. E. church, Easter Sunday. These are expected to be high days for these churches and added strength given to their spiritual and material forces. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. Denver, Colo., April 10, 1909.

One of the Least Expensive and Most Indispensable Articles. Acid fruits such as cranberries, gooseberries, plums and rhubarb require almost an unlimited amount of sugar, much of which can be saved by stirring in before sweetening a little soda (as a general rue a half-teaspoonful to a quart of fruit). A little soda put into the water in which vegetables or tough meats are boiled will make them tender and sweet, besides hastening the cooking. Ham should be parboiled in soda water, taken out, washed and scraped well, then finished by boiling in clear water. This method makes it sweeter and more tender than the ordinary way. In warm weather meat may be freshened by washing in cold soda water before cooking. If slightly tainted this treatment will cure it. If in warm weather the bread dough raised too much and soured a little soda worked well into it will sweeten it again. A teaspoonful of soda stirred into beans after they are parboiled will make them far more wholesome. After the soda is stirred in well the beans must be drained and washed in a colander. Soda added to the dish water is far superior to soap; it imparts that polish to the dishes so pleasing to dainty housekeepers. Soda will keep tinware bright and will clean table and shelf oilcloth better than anything else. A teaspoonful of soda is a valuable addition to the bath, especially in warm weather. Prickly heat or insect bites should be washed with soda water to relieve the itching. A teaspoonful of soda stirred in a tumblerful of cold water and taken internally will often relieve a sour stomach when nothing else will. SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DIRT. Preparation That Cleanses Delicate Fabrics Without Injury. The Paris Art institute offered $10,000 for a preparation which would clean delicate fabrics and not fade or injure the finest of colors. The following simple remedy for dirt won the prize: Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp; add one pint of water to a pound of potatoes; pass this liquid through a coarse sieve into a vessel and allow it to remain till the fine white starch settles to the bottom; then pour off the clear liquor, which is to be used for cleaning. For white silks use thin liquor with a little borax dissolved in it. I use my patent ironing board to sponge the dresses and waists on, using a clean sheet folded thick over the board and spreading one on the floor to protect the skirts. Dip a sponge in the liquor and apply it until the dirt is removed. Rinse in tepid water and press on the wrong side. I have cleaned opera and party dresses beautifully with this preparation. I have cleaned cashmeres, too, with it. I have done better work at home with this method than I have had done at the French cleaner's—Exchange. A Few Helps. Put a pint of cream of tartar in frosting or fudge to prevent "going to sugar." It will make it nice and creamy. To poach eggs and prevent their sticking to the vessel, grease the vessel before pouring in water. To scald or boll milk, first rinse out the dish with cold water and immediately put in the milk, and it will not adhere to dish and burn, but will wash easily afterward. When eggs are poaching or frying, cover the pan with a lid just the last moment of their cooking. This will give the pretty pink glazed overlook so desirable. To make ferns luxuriant, moisten the earth around ferns at least once a week with cold tea instead of water. They will immediately give out new shoots and become a dark rich green. For a Polished Floor Where a floor is inlaid or polished and the polish has worn off a good preparation for restoring is one-half pound of yellow wax, four ounces of oil of turpentine, one pint of linseed oil; cut the wax into bits and melt in something it can remain in (an old lard pail); add the oil (linseed); remove from the fire when hot and when almost cool stir in the oil of turpentine. When used put a little on a woolen cloth and rub in, then rub with a dry cloth. Useful Trifles. A pinch of cream of tartar added to sugar before boiling makes boiled frosting for cakes delicious and creamy. A pinch of salt and a little baking powder makes pie crust light and flaky and more digestible. One teaspoonful baking powder in one-half cup granulated sugar added to the white of one egg stiffly beaten makes a fluffy meringue for lemon pie. What to Do with Drippings. After frying bacon or meat of any kind take the drippings that are left and put them in a pan and cut a raw potato up fine and put it in, and let it cook for half an hour, and the potato will absorb all the odor and taste and the lard will come out as clear as fresh lard. English Hoe Cakes. Scald a quart of Indian meal, using just enough water to make a stiff batter. Stir in two teaspoonfuls of salt and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Turn into a buttered baking pan and bake for half an hour. Sardines (Hot). Pour the oil from box of sardines into a frying pan; when warm lay in sardines and brown a little. Serve on hot dry toast.

Denver, Colorado Denver, Colo THE SOUTHLAND AND COLORADO SOUTHERN RAILWAY OFFICIALS AT DENVER SEEK CLOSER COMMUNICATION. FOR TRAVEL AND TRADE PLANS FOR DAILY CAR FROM DENVER TO JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. Denver.—The Republican Wednesday morning says: Close trade relationship between South and West is being cemented at this time by the visit to Denver of four head officials of the Southern railway. Important arrangements, both passenger and freight, are being consummated that will put the two most rapidly growing quarters of the United States in direct communication with each other. It is doubtful if so many high officials of a great railway system have visited Denver at one time in recent months as are here at this time in the persons of S. H. Hardwick of Washington, passenger traffic manager; R. A. Campbell of St. Louis, general freight agent; W. H. Tayloe, Washington, general passenger agent, and J. C, Beam, Jr., of St. Louis, assistant general passenger agent, all representing the great Southern railway, with its more than 7,000 miles of main line trackage. The inauguration of close and important trade relations between the South and the West, especially that portion of the former quarter of the country lying between the Mississippi and the Atlantic seaboard, has been quietly but effectively carried on for the past several months with the Southern railway as the chief actor. Controlling as it does practically all the transportation of the South, and reaching all sections south of Mason and Dixon's line, this great system began to seek western outlets for the wonderfully increased products of the rejuvenated South. Through car service to Denver was established by the Southern, not only from its own rail terminals, as St. Louis and New Orleans, but by water connection with New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore. It is now possible as a result to obtain rapid and advantageous freight communication, including through car service, from Denver to Norfolk, where the Southern's main Atlantic terminals and shipping wharves are located Nor is this all, for the passenger business has not been neglected. By means of an arrangement with the Rock Island and Frisco system, it is now possible to go from Colorado Springs to Jacksonville on a through sleeper, without change of cars. Owing to the fact that the Rock Island's main line runs to Colorado Springs and not to Denver, Denver-Florida passengers have been compelled to change at Limon, eighty miles east of this city. However, the service has proved so popular and so much business from this city and state to Florida points has been developed by the new service, that it is now proposed to install an additional through daily car from Denver to Jacksonville. Southern Railway officials now in Denver are unable to say positively whether this will or will not be done, but probabilities in favor of the move are admittedly very strong. Alfalfa Mill for Berthoud. Denver.—A Berthoud dispatch says: The Chamber of Commerce held a meeting here Saturday night to consider a proposition from the Great Western Milling Company of Denver for the erection of an alfalfa meal mill. President Heston of the company was up from Denver and presented the proposition. The company will build a mill with 50 to 100 tons daily capacity and contract to pay $7 per ton for five years for alfalfa, provided the farmers will contract at least 3,000 acres for the first year, to be increased to 8,000 or 10,000 acres the following year or two. The chamber decided to go after the mill and appointed a committee of four prominent farmers to aid in soliciting contracts for acreage. President Heston has agreed to come back in a few days and assist in the work of securing the contract. New Weld County Reservoir Denver.—A Greeley dispatch of the 5th inst. says: Theodore Jones, a real estate man, today filed maps and plans for an addition to the Lower Latham reservoir to be known as Farmers' Reservoir No. 2. The plans and map stated that the reservoir will cost $400,000 and will irrigate, in connection with the Lower Latham reservoir, 4,000 acres of land. The Lower Latham is already constructed. The new reservoir site is south and east of La Salle. The water will be taken from the unappropriated water of the South Platte river and from flood waters. Secretary Arthur F. Francis of the Trans-Mississippi commercial congress, to be held in Denver in August, has received a letter from President Thomas F. Walsh of the congress expressing his approval of the work done so far by the executive committee in preparation for the annual meeting. Bruce Weakley, aged fifteen, was almost instantly killed on the 3d inst. by the accidental discharge of a hammerless shotgun with which he was hunting three miles northeast of Colorado Springs. Domestic and marital peace and harmony depend on the kitchen and the dining-room table much more than some dreamy idealists are willing to admit. Technical schools and hospitals are devoting more and more attention to dietetics, and in a few years housekeeping will be revolutionized as the result of the growth of the science and art. Poultry in India. Poultry is of very poor quality in India. One American egg is considered equal to three of those laid by the hens in Hindustan and chickens only a few weeks old are generally almost too tough to be eaten. A few turkeys are raised by Europeans in the foothills of the Himalayas. At Christmas time they sell in Calcutta for from $5 to $10 apiece. Justness of Judgment. He alone reads history alright who, observing how powerfully circumstances influence the feelings and opinions of men, how often vices pass into virtues and paradoxes into axioms learns to distinguish what is accidental and transitory in human nature, from what is essential and immutable. —Macaulay's Essay on Machiavelli. "Quit Yourselves Like Men." Quiet Yourselfs Like Men. Oh, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be strong men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work will be no miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come in you by the grace of God.—The Late Phillips Brooks. Outgrowing Things. Yes, we outgrow everything—toys, little pink or blue dresses, friendships, loves, and ideals, and it is well that we do, says a writer in Home Notes. We may occasionally regret some one of them; but if they were always ours how monotonous life would be—it hardly would be worth the living, you know. Possibilities of a Moment. We cannot speak a loyal word and be meanly silent; we cannot kill and not kill in the same moment; but a moment is room wide enough for the loyal and mean desire, for the outlash of a murderous thought and the sharp backward stroke of repentance —George Elliot. A Family Failing. The star pupil arose at the school entertainment to declaim his piece. "Lend me your ears!" he bawled. "Ha," sneered the mother of the opposition, but defeated, pupil. "that's Sarah Jane Doran's boy. He wouldn't be his mother's son if he didn't want to borrow something." -Tit-Bits. Cure for Love's Wounds. Vanity is the collodion of love's wounds. Unless the cut be very deep let a little of the gelatine of self-esteem be smeared over the injured surface and allowed to harden, and in a few days there is not even a scar to tell the tale of a blighted heart. Chinese Using Patent Medicines. The Chinese method of relieving one pain with another is going out of vogue, and there is a large sale of patent medicines. Sedatives are judged and valued by what they do in the shortest time. Portable Circular Saw. A recent English invention is a portable circular saw resembling the street outfit of the scissors grinder, which may be moved up to stationary timber to cut it. Another Rendition.

"Toq often," said Uncle Jerry Peebles, "when that there thing they call opportunity comes along, by jocks, it's only an opportunity to steal some thin!"

"I was troubled with cramps in the stomach for six years. I tried many kinds of medicine, also was treated by three doctors. "They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gave up all hopes of getting cured. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine, being cured by Peruna, so thought I would give it a trial. I procured a bottle at once, and commenced taking it. "I have taken nineteen bottles, and am entirely cured. I believe Peruna is all that is claimed for it."—Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 61 Marchant St., Watsonville, Cal. HAD A RIGHT MERRY TIME.

Iv'rybody happy an' iv'rybody handin' out prisons an' souvenirs of the evint to iv'rybody else!

"Oh, 'twas a gran' sillybration they had all 'round, wild remimbrances an' souvenirs handed out regardless of ixense or who they happened to hit!" CHILD ATE CUTICURA OINTMENT. Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers —Not the Least Injury Resulted. Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet. A New York friend of Cuticura writes: "My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the stateroom and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM FOR BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES: BACKACHE HER 375 "Guaranteed" STANDARD OIL'S ABLE DEFENSE LAWYER MILBURN PRAISES THE GREAT TRUST AS DEVELOPER OF COMMERCE. TELLS HOW IT GREW ROCKEFELLER PRAISED FOR HIS STEADFAST FAITH AND PER- St. Louis.—It was Mr. Milburn's contention in the hearing Wednesday that the Standard has been a greatly maligned corporation whereas, as a matter of fact, he declared, it had been the nation's greatest developer of not only local but foreign commerce. Having told Tuesday of John D. Rockefeller's introduction into the oil business through the acquisition of a refinery in Cleveland in 1865, Wednesday the New York attorney told first of the establishment of refineries throughout the country, both prior and subsequent to 1870. Mr. Milburn said that these investments had been very prosperous at first, but later as a result of over-construction there had followed a decline in profits. He told of the Standard's early elements of stability, its acquisition of properties, including pipe lines, down to 1875, which he asserted, had been necessary to the development of the corporation's growing business and also as one of the economies of the new business. Mr. Milburn next explained the organization and extension of the oil marketing business after 1875. The lubricating field was then invaded, according to Mr. Milburn, a feature which the lawyer explained with great care, especially as to the acquisition of ninety-seven per cent. of the country's railway lubrication by a Standard subsidiary company, the Galena Signal Oil Company, through the alleged weight of Rockefeller money in the railway directorates, had been one of the government's principal charges against the defendants as showing a tendency toward monopolization. The defendant's chief counsel told of the establishment of the marketing stations for the lubrication business, and its causes and effects. Mr. Milburn discussed the facts surrounding the Standard's acquisition of various miscellaneous properties, which, he said, were only incidental to the corporation's general expansion, and then took up the properties prior to the trust agreement, narrating just how and under what conditions each concern was purchased or founded by Standard Oil money. This is one of, if not the most important, feature of the defendant's case, as it will insist that the properties coming into the trust agreement were in no sense competing companies and from the start were companies possessing distinctively a separate field in the oil world, and, therefore, not competitive. Telling then of the fight made against Cleveland as a refining center by the Pennsylvania railroad in an endeavor to dominate the oil world, Mr. Milburn, pausing dramatically, with uplifted hands, exclaimed: "Instead of sitting in the night, burning their midnight oil and concocting this so-called conspiracy about which we have heard so much, Mr. Rockefeller and his associates were at that very moment fighting for their own lives and commercial existence." The Standard's lawyer denied that Mr. Rockefeller was one of the organizer's of the famous South Improvement Company of Pennsylvania. Instead, he said, the embryo oil king denounced the plan as impractical. Hurricanes and Tornadoes. Denver,—Twenty-five dead, scores injured and property loss which will reach into the hundreds of thousands is the net result of a series of tornadoes which swept over the Middle West Wednesday. Telegraph and telephone wires suffered severely and Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg and other towns in that vicinity were isolated for many hours. Dispatches from Detroit report that thirteen were killed in the lower Michigan peninsula. One hurricane swept through northern Mississippi, devastating plantations and killing ten. Wabash, Ind., was hit by a twister that demolished scores of residences. One woman and four children were caught beneath a pile of wreckage and the woman was nearly incinerated.

"Matter enough,' she answered, as her voice shook with anger. I have been accosted by a man in the streets." "What did you do?' I asked. "I hauled off and hit him in the face,' she answered, 'and I said to him: 'You dirty dog, would you speak to a defenseless woman?'" "And where was he when you said this?' I again inquired.

Property Owners Can Save Money by Learning the Cause. Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn't been properly applied—the surface being damp or there being too much turpentine or too much drier. But, nine times out of ten, the trouble is caused by adulterated white lead. To avoid all such trouble, every houseowner should know in a general way, when a surface is in proper condition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require, and how to avoid adulteration in materials. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulterations in painting materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. This company, the largest makers of pure white lead, invite tests, by means of the blowpipe (included in outfit), or in any other way, of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark. That trademark on a keg of white lead is in itself an absolute guarantee of purity and quality. DUTIFUL SON. "You young scamp! I've caught you smoking my cigars!"

The corsage is trimmed with bands, straps and motifs of this soutache embroidery, and is cut out over a chemisette of white mousseline de soie. The long, tight sleeves are finished with turnover cuffs trimmed with soutache. The other costume is of wood-brown cloth. The skirt has a narrow panel of the material at the left side, where it is embroidered with soutache and ornamented with straps of the same and buttons. The corsage, with bolero-like front, is trimmed with the soutache, with passementerie, and ornamented with buttons and little loops of soutache. The chemisette is of mousseline de soie and lace.

They have richly embroidered waist-coats and revers and are fastened with jeweled and enameled buttons. The sleeves are scanty and are finished with a roll-back cuff. Some of the coats are trimmed with long lines of buttons, which are of the material. One excellently good-looking model is of ash gray moire silk worn with a gown of chiffon broadcloth in the same exquisite shade. It is short in front and slopes away nearly to the hem of skirt in the back. The wide collar, long, narrow revers and waistcoat are of apricot panne velvet, embroidered with silver bullion. There are turn-back flare cuffs, caught with big moire buttons, and long lines of smaller buttons trim the back of the coat. The hat worn with this costume is of apricot satin, rolled away from the face on the left side, trimmed with a band of silver tissue and a loose black algrette caught with a wide, barbaric silver buckle. A POPULAR TOQUE A This striking little model is of white fox. The only trimming is the two black Mephisto quills, fastened at the left of front with a huge cabachon. Cushion Covers. Burlap and craftsman's canvas are much used for cushion covers, and really beautiful effects may be brought out with very little effort.

Another cock feathers drown diagonally across the pillow and worked with mercerized thread in natural colorings. Craftsman canvas is one dollar a yard up, 50 inches wide. Burlap is inexpensive. Style Must Either Be Extremely Lingerie or Severely Tailored. To show the unsettled state of the fashions just now, one authority announces that this is to be a season of the lingerie waist par excellence, while another equal in authority says, "with the crepes and thin cottons, exquisite mulls and dainty foulards that are shown in charming combination of plain colors lingerie gowns are to be rather out of the running." However, one thing seems to be assured. There is to be no half-way business. The waist must be very "lingerie," or it must be severely tailored. For the former, French valenciennes hand-made Irish and Cluny laces, and fine hard embroidery are used in as great profusion as one's time, and purse will allow. Morning waists of the tailored variety are mostly of white shirting lines or striped madras, fastened down the front with pearl buttons. Often the white ones have Cluny lace set in down the front on each side of the middle plait, and in the turn-over collar and cuffs. The colored ones are usually untrimmed, except for lengthwise tucks of various widths. Mother Will Appreciate Gift As baby's little cambric night slip flannel dressing gown and night petticoat were removed, his mother hung the tiny garments on a pretty little rack which hung from the back of the chair on which stood the dressing basket. When his lordship's morning toilet had been made, it was the work of an instant to lift the little rack from the chair to a place beside an open window where the crib belongings were also airing. The handy little rack was made of half a window-shade roller, wound with ribbon and provided with a ribbon hanger, to which was sewed a big hook for attaching to the chair back. Smaller hooks were screwed into the roller at even distances and on these the tiny night garments were hung. Buttons That Last. Use white lace buttons on thin dresses and blouses. The eyes cannot break, there are no shanks to pull out and, above everything else, they cannot be wrung off in the clothes wringer. The last trouble is something that perplexes the average housewife, who must always replace buttons after the return of the week's washing. These buttons are not new on the market by any means, but they are not as universally used as they should be. Good for Boys. Tan stockings and shoes are much more stylish for spring wear than plain black, and are specially suggested for boys, who do not wear white after seven or eight years. In socks the stripes in contrasting colors are more popular, although a great variety in design and in coloring has been worked into the new models. The plain socks are not much on view, although later they must inevitably appear. Why help pay big rent? We save you 20 per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR 1523 16TH ST.

To Those Not Properly Familiar with This Healthful Dish the Following Instructions Will be of Material Interest. Plain—Break into half-inch pieces enough macaroni to fill a cup; put into a kettle of boiling salted water and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender; turn into a strainer and let cold water run through to rinse it; put into a shallow baking dish and cover with white sauce; cook one tablespoonful of flour in one tablespoonful of hot butter in a small saucepan, and stir in gradually one cup of hot milk; season with salt and pepper, pour over the macaroni and cover with fine cracker crumbs, moistened in melted butter. Bake until brown. With Cheese—Prepare as for plain macaroni, then mix half a cup of crumbled cheese with the macaroni before adding the white sauce. With Eggs—Add two hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine. With Ham—Add one cup of fine minced ham, seasoned with mustard, and beat one raw egg in the sauce. With Oysters—Add one cup of oysters highly seasoned with salt and pepper; moisten with one cup of cream in place of the sauce if you like. With Tomatoes—Fry one teaspoonful of chopped onion in one tablespoonful of butter until slightly colored; add one tablespoonful of flour, and when well mixed, $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of strained tomatoes, and season with salt; this may be mixed with the macaroni alone, or with the addition of the cheese or the oysters. In these variations, always cover the mixture with the buttered crumbs, as it prevents the macaroni from becoming dry; but if the macaroni is not baked, it may be served with any seasoned sauce without crumbs. Appetizing Odorless Onions Appetizing Odorless Onions. Take six large onions over which has been poured boiling water to remove skins. In the center of each make a hole about the size of a quarter.
