On Monday the entire nation stood beside the graves of its soldier dead. Along with the rest of the people, the Negro scattered flowers over the graves of black heroes who died that this nation might live and prosper as "the land of the free and the home of the brave." In our efforts to rouse our people to a higher ideal of living, we may have overlooked the value of "heroes and hero worship." The Negro seems forgetful of the great men of the race; seems forgetful of those who rose to the occasion. The Negro soldier has been the greatest factor in our race's history. Could we trace his record from the beginning of his service to the colonists, to the present time, we would find that much of the history of the Negro is written in the blood of their noble, fearless and obedient soldiers. To know the history of their deeds and achievements, and to transmit them as a priceless heritage to future generations would elevate the manhood of our race beyond the fondest expectation of our most sanguine dreamer. We must write our own history. Every nation has its own historians, and some black Guizot or Hallam must collect the facts concerning the soldiery of our race and give them to the budding mind to study, to emulate and to inspire. But enough is known in a fragmentary way, that all our people feel the holiness of Memorial Day and pause beside the graves of friend and foe to lay a flower. ACHIEVEMENTS. We read a nation's history in the record of its soldiery. The Negro soldier has been a part of this government, since the first throes of national questions disturbed the relations with England. He had given a hundred and more years of his life and toil to the colonist. He had been an everpresent help in the hour of need to the early settlers pushing out in the great wilderness. He had defended lonely cabin and settlement from the fierce raids of hostile Indians. He had marched with Washington and Braddock to fight the "French and Indians." And when an offering was needed for Liberty's altar, Crispus Attuicks offered himself, and his blood cried to heaven for vengeance! He followed the Revolutionary soldiers, suffering at Valley Forge, and shouting victory at Yorktown. The Negro soldier followed Andrew Jackson to New Orleans and there helped save the country. Two hundred and eighty thousand Negroes followed the flag during the Civil War. They were butchered at Milliken's Bend, massacred at Fort Pillow and mowed down in the erater at Lynchburg. They followed Hooker up Lookout Mountain and Sherman to the sea. Around Richmond they helped Grant see the dawn of Appomattox. They served their country faithfully and valiantly. Not only were they loyal to the flag, but many, filled with the feudal zeal of other days, followed their masters into the Confederate ranks, and built breastworks, drove teams and marched in the Rebel ranks. There was a time when we might have been disposed to look askance at the Negro Rebel soldier, but as we stood Monday and watched the depleted lines of the Blue, and the Gray, going to honor their soldier dead, we, too, must learn to forgive and forget. Let the dead past bury its dead, and we who today strive to manifest a full measure of respect for the sable soldiers who are so fast passing away, seeing in them only brave men who differed. Then, too, there are new-made graves in this country. The brief Spanish-American war only gave to the Negro another opportunity to prove himself. This he did, in action, at San Juan Hill, and in the days of pacification he quietly and honestly did his duty. These are achievements. REMEMBER THEM. The Negro soldier is fast passing away. Only a few of those who went out in the dark days of civil strife remain to remind us of a stupendous struggle. Their noble sacrifice deserves much from us. Why not this great race of ours on some Memorial Day, at the National Capitol, unveil a monument saecred to their memory? This would be a splendid and fitting testimonial of the love we have for them. Flowers may fade but a shaft of marble or a tablet of brass will last while time goes to eternity. Let the race remember them. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 5. 1909 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, WASHINGTON LETTER BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL When characterizing the development of policies and the progress of President Taft's Administration as far as it has gone, one often hears the expression that "Great bodies move slowly." As compared to the swift pace we have in late years become accustomed, one often feels that he had suddenly run out of a great gale into a calm and motionless sea. Its a long way back to the fourth of March, said one man who appeared to have been keeping pace with the progress of affairs since the present Administration assumed control. If, continued he, there have been any great changes of importance or the development of new policies, they haven't been visible to the necked eye. This view, however, is not shared by all students of political affairs, because President Taft,s administration has certainly made progress, and to those who will lend a careful eye, it will be observed that, the apparent slowness of the present administration is perhaps noticed because of the swiftness of another it follows. Again the Taft Administration has gone a long way in the development of policies. One of the most important policies with which the present head of the nation may be credited is that with respect to the South. In other words it is said he desires to see the "solid South" broken up, and the establishment of a great and powerful Republican party in this section. He is working hard to inject Republicanism into the political arteries of Dixie. To accomplish this commendable task President Taft, it may be said, seriously labors. If this country knew the custom of Presidents, assuming the title or name of rulers who have preceeded them, President Taft when he came into office might have with propriety proclaimed himself—McKinley, 2nd, because, with respect to his policies towards the South he seems to have gone back to that great ruler. Winning the South, establishing Republicanism in its obliterating sectional feeling and effacing race friction is indeed a great and laudable cause and worth of those who undertake it, but in the light of present conditions, it is the opinion of many people in this land that the effort with its methods is a hopeless task, and that President Taft will be rewarded with as much success in the end as was his beloved predecessor, President McKinley. President Taft is not appealing to the people of the North, who have never been known to boast of and adhere slavishly to a sectional sentiment or sectional institutions. He is not addressing himself to a portion of the country where ideas, customs and habits change rapidly. The great crowds at Petersburg, Charlott, and other points in the South that, some few days ago, heard his masterly address on what his southern policy is, were not those representing a section of land where the commercial spirit is dominant, and where everything is suborbinate in a large extent to this idea of commerce. In building up his Republican party in Dixie Mr. Taft must place the colored man on the political alter and call down the fires of southern prejudice and southern hatred to conume him. Suppose for an instance, if you can, this is done. The country would witness the strangest and most infamous spectacle of two Republicanisms in this county—a Republicanism in the North, plus the Negro, and a Republicanism in the South, minus the Negro. In other words—a house divided against itself. Political parties have lives like the individual, and their histories are written likewise but no historian of the Republi-party will ever record the existence of matured Republicanism in the land of Jefferson Davis and rock-ribbed Democracy. The South is throwing a beautiful bur deceiving rainbow across the Taft horizon, but indeed Mr. President, you will not find a bag of gold at the end of it. NEGRO AND INDIAN Of the 10,000,000 of Negroes and Negroids in the United States it is reckoned that one-fifth are nearly white, says the London Times. They have lost all the more obstructive characteristics of the black race, and they often show in a somewhat extreme form the characteristics of the Caucasian type. They can show white skins—only too white—blue eyes and fair or even red hair. The cranial type is altered to the Caucasian model, and indeed the same is true in a less degree of full-blooded Negroes who have been long under white influence. These negroids are of all conditions of life, many of them wealthy and highly educated. Yet the racial line is drawn with unabated severity. They are socially Negroes and have to consort in public places and railway carriages with the pure Negroes to whom they are distantly related. There is no use in complaining of this or in moralizing about it. We have only to note the fact and we are obliged to believe that there is some reason for it, lying probably far below the region of volition or of consciousness. For besides this fact we have the other that, though the American Indian is not only widely different from the Caucasian type, but is an hereditary enemy with which white settlers have had to contest almost every square mile of the country, still the Indian half breeds take their place easily among the white men and are freely absorbed. They travel without question in white men's cars, as indeed the dirtiest Chinaman may do, while the whitest of men suspected of having a trace Negro blood is ejected. It would seem that there are secret links of affinity between the white man and the aboriginal Indians which do not exist between him and the black man and that some primordial instinct of antagonism overpowers all conscious reasoning where the black blood enters into the question. New York, June 1.—The will of Bridget Torpy, for twenty-seven years a cook in the family of Mrs. N. B. Taft of this city, as filed for probate today, leaves $30,000 the savings of a lifetime, to James Johnson, a Negro, who had been her assistant. The Negroes of Pittsburg, by reason of their strategic political position have forced the city Mayor to appoint one of their leading lawyers, William M. Randolph, as Assistant City Attorney at a salary of $2,500 per year. His practice is said to be worth $5,000 annually. His new duties will not interfere with his private practice. Addis Abeba, Abyssinia, May 16.—Prince Lidj Jeassu, aged 13, grandson of King Menelik and heir apparent to the throne, was married today to Princess Roumania, aged 7, the granddaughter of the late Emporor John and niece of Empress Taitou. The marriage is of great importance politically, as it unites the two dynasties and the families of powerful chiefs. B Jackson of Jacksonville, Fla., landed there twenty-five years ago with only $5.00 in his pocket; today he is regarded as a man of wealth. His county and city taxes amount to $350 per annum. He is one of the largest contractors and builder in the city. Besides he operates and owns one of the largest wood mills in the city. He carries a life policy of $50,000, and lives on Jesse and Van Buren Streets. J. D. McDuffy of Ocala, Fla., is very successful truck farmer NO.37 Eleven years ago he started with a rented 3 acre farm, now he owns over six hundred acres of land. Last season he shipped ninety cars of watermelons and eighteen cars of cantaloupes to Northern markets. In connection with his fruit farm, Mr. McDuffy is also a stock raiser. The proceeds from the latter business amounts to nearly ten thousand pounds of pork annually. In the fruit season he employs about one hundred and twenty-five hands. Zanesville, O., May 14.—"General" Means, colored, employed at the Townsend brick yards, was arrested this morning for the murder of his wife. Going to an upstairs room of his home, accompanied by an officer, for the expressed purpose of changing his clothing, Means, who was forty-nine years old, cut his throat with a razor and died within five minutes. Eugene Taylor, owner of the house, was making some improvements in the cellar this morning when he saw the outline of a grave in the cellar floor. The police investigated and exhumed the body of Mrs. Means, who disappeared last November. Hampton, Va., May 23. At the commencement exercises at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute today a letter was read from President Taft in which he announced his acceptance of a place on the board of trustees of that school for the education of the Negro and the Indian. Mr. Taft's letter to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the school, said: "I have your note announcing my election as a member of the board of Hampton trustees. I consider it an honor to be one of them and shall be very glad to contribute what little I can to the continued success of the school." New York., May 30.—Booker T. Washington reveals the fact that for support of scores of schools in the South. The Standard Oil man asked Mr. Washington to act as his almoner, and insisted that his benefactions be kept secret. In giving an account of this unknown phase of Mr. Rogers' activities, Mr. Washington said: "The first time I ever met Mr. Rogers was in this manner. About 15 years ago, a large meeting was held in Madison Square garden concert hall to obtain funds for the Tuskegee institute. Mr. Rogers attended the meeting. "The next morning I received a telegram from him, asking me to call at his office. He handed me 10 $10,000 bills for the Tuskegee institute. In doing this, he imposed only one condition, that the gift should be mentioned to no nue. "When he died all unknown to those who were receiving his aid, at least 65 small country schools were being helped by the money he contributed."

Simple and Appropriate Furniture, Decorations and Bric-a-Brac Better Than Costly Litter So Many Think Necessary. Alm at elegant simplicity. Do not make the mistake of thinking simplicity means cheapness; it is usually a costly luxury, but one that pays. Avoid litter, gimcracks and overcrowding. Learn to appreciate space as a part of the furnishing. Many women only regard it as something be filled, no matter with what. To hide the carpet with furniture, the walls with pictures, sofas and chairs with pillows and mantels and tables with ornaments, regardless of taste or suitability, is not furnishing a home; it is stocking a junk heap. Apart from the inartisticness of the overloaded house, the discomforts of keeping it clean makes it anything but liveable. Why should a woman wish to pass her days dusting useless ornaments that detract rather than add to the beauty and wholesomeness of your home? Certain houses are furnished with a simplicity that is studied almost to the point of ostentatiousness and arti- MEANS COMFORT ON THE CAR. Convenience Especially Designed for Traveler on Journey of Some Length. The case for a cushion, of which we give a sketch, is designed for the traveler. On each side a roomy pocket is arranged in which newspapers and other little things, essential at the time of taking a railway journey, may be carried, and be ready to hand when required, without the fear of their be- JK ing mislaid or lost. The case may be made in art linen or, perhaps, dark green art serge and lined with soft silk. Firmly stitched on to the top of the flap is a small handle made of the same material that has been used for the case, and stiffened with a thin piece of cardboard, by which the carrier can be held. Should it be intended to carry anything valuable in the pocket, such as a purse or notes for instance, then it is a good plan, and very easily done, to fit flaps above each pocket, that can be buttoned on to the lower part and so secure the contents from the possibility of falling out. CHANGE IN THE BUST LINE. Newest Styles Show a Lowering, Largely Due to Form of the Latest Corset. The newest styles show a lowering of the bust line that again recalls the fashions of two or three years ago, when the low-cut corset was so fashionable. The long corset, designed to make the wearer abnormally slender, almost invariably gave the high bust effect, but this was never popular, and evidently the corset makers have at last evolved a corset to meet all requirements. The longer line from shoulder to bust is so much more graceful, and a waist cut accordingly is so far more becoming, dressmakers are only too glad to welcome the change, although they were beginning to do wondrous things with the flat trimmings, regardless of the line of bust. Straight cassocklike pieces of trimming are not new. The fashion was inaugurated several months since, but there are many new ways in which it is carried out. There are many designs in heavy embroidery and lace woven especially for this fashion, but some dressmakers prefer to copy the style by folds or plaits of the material or, as in the case of a figured material or foulard, with bands of the plain, and the effect is delightfully smart. It is an excellent plan to cut the stems of flowers with a sharp knife rather than with the scissors. Scissors compress the stems and so close some of the tiny pores to the life-giving water. ficiality; but better that than vulgar crowding. What the average householder needs to learn is that a beautiful home consists of not how much you can put into a house, nor yet in how little, but in having an eye for proportion, unerring taste as to what is in keeping and the nerve to throw away your most precious possession if it disturbs the harmony of your house beautiful. CHILD'S LINGERIE HAT. C. H. H. A most bewitchingly pretty lingerie hat for a small tot is made of a fine quality of embroidered linen. The crown is of fashionable size, large and of an even roundness, and the brim droops prettily over the hair and face. The finishing touch is given by the large, soft ties of sheerest lawn, which are tied in a loose bow under the chin a little to the left. CROSS-BAR MUSLIN POPULAR Many Good Reasons Why Material Is Preferred Above Others for the Lingerie. There is a late fad for cross-bar muslin—and not for kitchen curtains, sewing aprons or plain shirtwaists, either, but for the corset cover-pantaloon combination garment. It is exceedingly fine in quality, though not a dimity; called "muslin," it is really a plaid nainsook. It is an English custom to use it for men's underwear, and it is but a recent entry into the field of woman's wear—probably wedged in there for its durability. Sheer material with a heavy thread in the weave wears twice as long—why shouldn't it? And there are makers of lingerie who sing its praises on the score of its obligingly trimming itself. Certain it is that any figured or flowered material will pass muster with less embroidery on it than plain muslin, yet the design of embroidery wandering over the plaid is a very Frenchy touch, and not to be talked down. Needle and Thread Always Ready. There is no truer saying than "a stitch in time saves nine," and the woman who appreciates this knows that a rip in a glove, a tear in a waist, or any little bit of mending that will only take a minute or two to do if it is done when the need first appears, will probably take half an hour or more if it is left for a day or two. Every woman would do well to run a piece of baby ribbon through a spool of white and a spool of black thread and then tie the ends of the ribbon together and hang the spools up somewhere near her dresser. A needle should be threaded on the end of each color of thread and then stuck in the ribbon. There will always be a threaded needle ready for instant use. The needle should be threaded after using it each time. The Toilet Table A little good toilet water or cologne poured into a bath is delightful in its effects. If your heart is weak do not indulge in showers, and be careful to temper the water, no matter how strong the heart. Wherever there is an inconvenient hollow a gentle massage with cocoa butter will soon fill it up, and it is the purest and best of skin food. An excellent household remedy for burns is pure vaseline or olive oil. The great thing is to exclude the air and dirt from the burned surface, and this the oil will do. To take disagreeable medicine eat one or two cloves or hold ice in the mouth until the tongue is chilled, and the medicine will be less disagreeable. Medicines that discolor the teeth may be taken through soda straws. Drinking with meals greatly dilutes the saliva, making mastication all the more difficult; besides, in this way, the contents are easily softened and washed down before being properly chewed. The painfully distended stomach, that feeling of being bloated and uncomfortably "full" arises in most cases from drinking with meals and is again caused by gas.

STRANGE CHRISTIANITY. TWO THOUSAND years after Simon the Cyre den of the master and carried His eress on blac slopes of Calvary, the devout followers of the faith erica are eternally wrought up over the color quest Every big protestant conyention is bothered with it and slept and prayed with his disciples without a tl ferences. Verily, Simon is still carrying the cross, the Masters knows just how heavy is the burden, TWO THOUSAND years after Simon the Cyrenean lifted the bur- den of the master and carried His eress on black shoulders up the slopes of Calvary, the devout followers of the faith in enlightened Am- erica are eternally wrought up over the color question in the churches. Every big protestant conyention is bothered with it, although Jesus ate and slept and prayed with his disciples without a thought of racial dif- ferences, Verily, Simon is still earrying the eross, and none other but the Masters knows just how heavy is the burden, BACK TO NATURE. | THE Negro does not take naturally to mechanism, the allied arts and sciences, however much his teachers and advisers may wish to see him develop along those lines, He is more naturally an agriculturalist. As a native child of nature, he searcely knew of any other peaceful o¢- cupations than those of crop raisers and herders. These were merely the necessary means of tribal maintenance, but, it may be judged they were developed, in a crude way, to a point of reasonable reliance. Nothing more was required of tribal barbarians, The principal uses of the institution of slavery tended to develop their capabilities along natural lines, while the elementary knowledge that they gained of the mechanical trade accessories was merely incidental. Under meagre instructions the Negro slave easily became a trained agriculturalist, and perhaps there is no other class of people in the country today which has a better natural idea of the uses of the soil and the diversi- fication of crops. He is not up in the modern scientific development of agricultural ideas because, of late years, his conditions have not kept him in touch with timely improvements, but he has all the fundamental knowledge required to make him a sucessful farmer when he shall have acquired the necessary modern ideas of the concentration of ef- fort and the steady improvement of his natural resources. The tilling of the soil is the first and fundamental oceupation of all civilized races, and out of its development and perfection grow all the higher yo- eations and all the extended branches of social development. ‘The ef- fort of a people to get up in the world while slighting and skipping over this first, under-lying process, must always be doomed to failure, because it is superficial and without sound foundation. It is sure to make dependents, servants and gypsy-like wanderers of those who em- ploy it. The great present-day tendencies of Negroes to flock to the cities and swell the unbridled throngs of unskilled laborers and ser- vile classes seriously threatens the development of the race, A move- ment which will turn the Negro back to the rural districts, whether it be based upon schemes for industrial development in the South or upon more daring ventures at colonization or independent settlement upon the new soil of the West, should prove an unlimited blessing. Every Negro who leaves the city and establishes himself upon a productive tract of land in the rural distriets, and sticks to it, will benefit his race more than any hundred Negroes who cling to the glamour and waste and servility of city life. ‘Back to nature’? is the slogan with which the Negroes’ greatest mark in the modern world must be made, TOO MUCH WORK FOR ONE WIFE, Nigerian Needs Several Properly to Minister to His Comfort. According to the Geographical Jour- nal of ‘London the marital relations among the peoples of Nigeria vary somewhat according to their state of civilization: “Polygamy is the rule, the reason given being that {t is {m- possible for one woman to do all the work of the house, look after the chil- dren, prepare and cook the food, fetch the dafly supply of water (often an arduous job), cultivate the plantation and go to market. The African is an exceedingly hungry person. It is the custom to eat several times a day when at home, and the men spend most of their day sitting in the pala. ver house or market place, while the women bring the food all day long. One wife could not possibly do this. Besides, the African lady encourages {t, for she says, “The more wives, the less work.’ “Among the Ahiaras, Onichas, Obu- wus and the lower class of pagan tribes in the interior, there is very little form of marriage. As soon as a man has the means, he pays the par- ents what they want, in the shape of goats, cows, beads and money, and takes the girl. ‘There {s no ceremony at all. The more wives the greater riches he {s supposed to have and the better he will be looked after. “If, of course, they can manage to seize a woman from the nolghboring tribe while she {s fetching water or working on her farm, so much the cheaper. With this method in yogue for centuries, no wonder that it is as much as a natiye's life 1s worth to go out of his own village, and that the country is so backward.” Lexington, Ky., May 17.—Two men who went lust week to Shelby county from Louisville to inspect the site of the proposed $400,000 Lincoln Institute for Negroes re- ceived a bunble of switches and a hemp rope, together with a warn. ing. There has been much objec- tion from people in that section to having the Negro school teacher there, although it has been stipu- lated tnat students will be kept on their own reservation and that they will have their own railroad station and posteffice, Night riders have warned Negroes employed at Ben- son, near Frankfert, to leave in forty eight hours, Detectives are at work on thecase.

There was a peculiar coincidence in connection with the vudden death of the Alkham (Kent, England) village blacksmith, Mr. James Pay. His daughter, who was in service with a doctor in a neighboring village, went to her mistress on the day of her fa- ther’s deatk, stating that she had a feeling that she must go home. As the girl seemed anxious, her mistress al- lowed her to go, and she arrived home in time to witness the death of her father, 20 minutes after he had been working at his forge. Modern Stage “VERAL years ago one of the New York producing managers received the manuscript of a play from an utterly unknown author. It was erudely written and most of the situations were utterly impossible. Produced in the form in which it came from its creator’s pen it could heve been only a dismal failure. The manager was not for a moment tempted to pro- duce the play he had received, but he saw possibilities in the author's plot. He sent for him and pointed out a few of the more glaring defects and suggested that the manuscript be turned over to a nenfeceinnal aramotiet “his was Cone, and the rewritten play, only faintly suggesting the original manuscript, was produced and immediately achieved success, ‘The amateur playwright applied himself {o a close study of practical playwrit- ing, and is to-day the author of numerous successful dramas. He realizes now just how hopeless that first play must have appeared in the original form, and appreciates the patience and good judgment of the manager who discerned the dramatic nugget buried in a desert of dreary dialogue. ‘The search for embryo dramatists, is, in my opinion, the most intelli- gent and practicable method of unearthirg latent talent ever suggested. In response to such an appeal for new ideas there are sure to be valuable returns, since the writing of a scenario is no great task even to the utterly inexperienced. And the great ery of the modern stage is for new ideas. Whoever comes forward with the germ of a good plot will find producing managers ready and eager to provide the means of having that plot de- veloped into a play. Chicago in particular and the middle west in general are more inter- ested in serious drama than any other section of the United States. Com- bined with this widespread interest is an alert intelligence which responds in a most gratifvineg manner to plavs that anneal to the intellect and not merely to the senses. It is the hope of every one seriously interested in the American stage that the vogue of frivolous and indecent entertainments flourishing in many New York theaters will be extremely short lived. And in the inevitable reaction from such unwholesome fare there will be a great demand for clean, virile, in- telligent American plays. Is it not reasonable to be- lieve that creators of such drama will be found in the section of America which has shown the keenest appre- ciation for plays that are really worth while? and 100 per cent. is allowed the bureau. Stationary temperature gives the forecaster a range of six degrees above and six degrees below the temperature of the previous day at eight a. m.; in other words, a range of 12 degrees. Just try for yourself. You can’t miss by using this method. Moreover, the “total average” of verifications of forecasts is made up for the entire country, which includes easy guesses and hard guesses. ‘It includes, say, New England and New Mexico. When the writer lived in New Mexico, many years ago, it was a staple amusement to bet with any ténderfoot during midsummer that it would rain before five o’clock in the afternoon. ‘The bet was always made in the morning, when the sky was always cloudless. ‘The tenderfoot invariably lost, because it always rained later in the day. In those parts anybody could tell absolutely what the weather would be without a weather bureau. In New England, with a weather bureau, no one can tell approximate- ly what the weather will be. Tt is between these two extremes of easy and vhard guesses that you must figure out the value of the weather bureau’s performances in guessing. If the bureau gains 35 per cent. over the natural 50 per cent. of the law of chance, what should be its credit, 85 or 35 per cent. ? too wise in her knowledge of things; and keeping her in continual ignor- ance, making her a prude, too straight-laced, and frightened of her own shadow. A girl of the present must be strong-willed, able to judge and act for herself in time of necessity; for, if her eyes are not sufficiently open to know the world with its intrigues, its temptations, how is she to avoid the pitfalls? A girl should not be kept too ignorant of the darker side of life; otherwise how is she to know what to expect, and, not knowing, what but experience will open her eyes? A girl who has to face the world and make her own living, although not physically the man’s equal, needs his self-reliance and daring; she must conquer her own weakness, even in a way sink her individuality as & woman, overcome herself and her inclinations, stifle that portion of herself which entitles 1 woman to have nerves, and brace herself to the unequal conflict of paving a way for herself, shaping her own destiny. |S | ei Wide Range for Weather Man By EMERSON HOUGH Modern Girl Must Have Daring By A.

The sporting events at the Colorado Statesman picnic on June 23rd will be alone worth the price of admission. Inquiries are coming in every day from base ball teams, fast runners and wrestlers. A glove contest will probably be arranged. Watch for announcements. Mrs. Sarah Roundtree royally entertained the choir and stewardess of Shorter's church at her beautiful home at 2531 Stout street last Tuesday evening. The parlors were beautifully decorated for the occasion and all voted the hostess as an ideal entertainer. Miss Ella Pierson, one of the prominent young ladies of Cheyenne, spent last Saturday and Sunday with friends in the city. She was en route home from attending the District conference and Sunday School convention, which was held last week in Cripple Creek. C. William Buford, the Democratic war horse, has been appointed to a position in the bureau of mines, state capitol. Mr. Buford is deserving of greater honors at the hands of the party of which he is such a shining light, but one I suppose should be thankful for small favors. One of the attractions for the great Colorado Statesman's annual uicnic on June 23rd, is the moving picture show in the afternoon for the benefit of the children. This alone will be worth taking the children to see. Don't forget this. Then the great Marathon race for the fast runners of Colorado. This feature will bring to Denver the fastest runners in the state. Let the colored boys get ready and try to lower the world's record. All this and many other interesting features will be seen at Bloomfield Park June 23rd. One of the most pleasant of the Denver District Conference and Sunday School conventions ever held was that which convened in Cripple Creek May 25th, 26th and 27th. The conference and convention were held at Handy Chapel, A. M. E., Church, of which Rev. J. H. Brown is pastor, and it can well be said of the pastor and his people in every way that they made very amiable hosts and hostesses. Presiding Elder Owens and the pastors, District Superintendent Mrs. E. F. Landor and the various delegates and Sunday School workers all cooperated in making their respective meetings successful, intellectually, spiritually and financially. Many excellent papers were read and spiritual sermons preached. A RARE TREAT. It seldom happens that our people are honored by the appearance of such men of our race as Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University of Washington, D. C., who addressed us at Shorter A. M. E. Church on Thursday evening, June 3rd. The speaker was at his best and he handled his subject in a manner that one could but study the master mind of the speaker from which such eloquent words and good advice emanated. Prof. Miller is one of the most profound and logical thinkers of our race, an educator of national reputation, and a thorough type of the true Afro-American, which fact goes to show that intellectual qualities are not confined to color. The proceeds of the lecture will be turned over to the Y. M. C. B., after the expenses have been deducted. We will be pleased to have the professor call again and to point out to our people the fact that they must toil if they hope to reap. DEATH OF CHARLES E. JACKSON JUNIOR. Charles E. Jackson, Jr., one of the best known young men of our city, died at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Jackson, 1018 East Twenty-third avenue, Sunday morning and was buried from the Church of the Redeemer Wednesday afternoon, Rector J. A. Brown officiating. Interment was at Riverside cemetery; undertaker, Q. Gilmore. Mr. Jackson was formerly star left tackle of the Colorado College football team, and was considered one of the best foot ball players in the West. It was during one of these plays that he was injured so severely that he has been an invalid ever since. The faculty and students of Colorado College sent a letter of condolence and many flowers to the bereaved family. The casket of the deceased was banked with flowers, the gifts of loving friends. A father, mother, two sisters and one brother, besides a host of friends, are left to mourn the demise of this exemplary young man, who was only twenty-six years of age. NEGRO DISTRICT AND TOWNSHIP MEETING.

Fanny Kemble, the famous actress, was a warm supporter of "Women's Rights," and one evening at dinner she was seated next "Poodle Byng," a well-known man about town. The conversation turned on "women's rights," and Fanny Kemble expressed her views with so much vehemence that Mr. Byng took refuge in polite silence. After finishing a brilliant tirade, she turned to her neighbor and asked his opinion. "Poodle Byng" looked at her with a half smile, and answered her in five words: "I don't agree with you!" Two Birds; One Stone. "What! Your wife is dead?" "Yes; a year ago. And last week I married again." "My sincerest condolences and heartiest congratulations."—London Opinion. The Transient Kind. Miss Gush—Oh, Mrs. Jones, the children of the lady who has your flat are perfect little pictures. Mrs. Jones (grimly)—Yes, and this week they are going to be moving pictures. Justice. "My wife and I always settle our lit tle disputes by arbitration." The Truth Hurt A prominent lawyer of Vicksburg, Miss., who, after two months of widowerhood, took unto himself another spouse, was very indignant when he read in one of the local papers the following notice of his marriage: "The wedding was very quiet, owing to a recent bereavement in the bridegroom's family." That great Tokyo exposition is still nine years away, but the honorable commissioners have that unfaltering patriotism which enables them to draw their salaries during the interval. "What's the matter," propounds the Atlanta Constitution, "with Clark for president in 1912?" Clark who? Don't keep us in suspense. --- Cervantes' Tribute to Sleep.

One million women, representing cities, towns, villages and isolated rural settlements in every section of the country, are to-day enlisted in a campaign against tuberculosis, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In legislatures, in congress at Washington, in society gatherings, in churches and clubs, through speaking and writing—in every possible way, the women of the country are persistently fighting consumption. With an organization established in every state of the country, under the direction of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and with associated clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and the canal zone, the women of the country have entered a systematic crusade to carry the message of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis into every American home. WESTON, Ocean-to-Ocean Walker, Said recently: "When you feel down and out, feel there is no use living, just take your bad thoughts with you and walk them off.

Olmsted, Le Roy, N. Y. A mission worker in New Orleans was visiting a reformatory near that city not long ago when she observed among the inmates an old acquaintance, a negro lad long thought to be a model of integrity. "Jim!" exclaimed the mission worker. "Is it possible I find you here?" "Yassum," blithely responded the backslider. "It's charged with stealin' a barrel o' sweet pertaters." The visitor sighed. "You, Jim!" she repeated. "I am surprised!" "Yassum," said Jim. "So was I or I wouldn't be here!" Quite True. Marian, a little three-year-old, is very stubborn. One day, when she was fretful, her mother, wishing to engage her mind, attracted her attention to a cow in a vacant lot and asked what it was Marian replied, "hoss" (horse) and stubbornly refused to give in. Her mother, wishing to get a correct answer without scolding, asked: "What eats grass besides a horse?" "More hoss," was the quick response.—Delineator. Good to Remember.

The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediately and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regularly. "My son who was troubled with indigestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in Pkgs.

TARIFF DEBATE GROWS FIERCE TARIFF DEBATE GROWS FIERCE ACRIMONY ARISES OVER WAGE STATEMENT OF THE GER- MAN GOVERNMENT. DISPLAY BAD TEMPER SENATORS ALDRICH AND STONE CLASH FOR NEARLY THREE Washington.—The atmosphere of the Senate chamber was surcharged with electricity Thursday night when the tariff bill was taken up at 8 o'clock in the first night's session since Congress was convened. Fifty-four senators were present. Every Republican senator in the city except Mr. La Follette, was in his seat, and his absence was made the subject of criticism that involved the sincerity of his attitude on the tariff bill, and finally descended to serious attacks upon him by conservative Republicans in charge of the bill, and spirited defense from insurgents and Democrats. Finally the tense situation was smoothed over, but another outbreak is threatened. The Senate was not in an amiable state of mind and as a consequence there were several clashes of temper. The day was begun with a speech by Senator Stone of Missouri, in which he asserted that the German officials had taken exception to remarks recently made by Senator Aldrich relative to the wage statement supplied by the German government at the request of the American secretary of state. Mr. Aldrich had characterized as "impertinent" the effort which he claimed had been made in that statement to influence American tariff legislation and Mr. Stone undertook to show that the epithet had been applied to the German government. Mr. Aldrich resented this implication, but he repeatedly said that the German manufacturers had undertaken to influence the course of the tariff bill and charged that in so doing they had been guilty of impertinence. Mr. Aldrich intimated that Mr. Stone was acting as a representative of Germany, and this remark aroused the Missourian. Declaring his right to speak his mind as an American senator, he said the use of the expression was "a gross impertinence." The colloquy consumed almost three hours of time. The incident closed for the day with the statement by Mr. Stone that while Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Depew, who also had been involved in the controversy, had not made a straightforward retraction, as he had believed they should, they had so "sugar coated" the dose as to "relieve it of its bitter taste." Senator La Follette resumed his speech in opposition to the cotton schedule, which proved to be a general criticism of the methods of the finance committee. He asserted that the German wage report had, contrary to a statement by Mr. Aldrich, reached the committee before the tariff bill was reported to the Senate and he charged the committee with general neglect in withholding information from the Senate. He opposed the new cotton duties as excessive and made an argument in favor of a general scaling down. "A system has grown up here," said Mr. La Follette, "by which legislation is in the hands of two or three men whose authority seems to have been recognized here for many years without question. It seems hazardous on the part of any who wants to know and who fails to come along when he is told. I want to announce to the autocracy of the Senate that the clock will strike presently and there will be a new hour in the legislative business of the Senate." Omaha Suspects Bound Over. Omaha, Neb.—G. W. Woods, Fred Torgensen and James Gordon were bound over Thursday by Federal Judge Munger to the next grand jury and held under $25,000 bond each to answer the charge of holding up and robbing the Overland Limited mall car on the Union Pacific May 22nd. Twenty-two witnesses were called to identify the prisoners. Six small boys, ranging from eight to eleven years, were interesting witnesses. Each told of seeing one or more of the men in the vicinity of Brown park before and after the robbery. Japanese War Airships Victoria, B.

Of course no stranger is allowed on the floor of the house of lords, but the minister not knowing this, and with the usual amount of American push, tried to make his way in. There is a rule, however, that servants of the various lords may be admitted to speak to their ministers. Seeing the minister walking boldly in, the doorkeeper asked: "What lord do you serve?" "What lord?" repeated the astonished American, "the lord Jehovah!" For a moment the doorkeeper hesitated and then admitted him. Turning to an assistant standing near, he said: "He must mean one of those poor Scotch lairds."—Boston Record. TORE HIS SKIN OFF In Shreds—itching Was Intense— Sleep Was Often Impossible. Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks. "At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. I tried several doctors and used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I settled down to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks' time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. I have had no trouble of this kind since. H. A. Krutskoff, 5714 Wahash Ave, Chicago, Ill., November 18 and 28, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp., Sole Props., boston. Household Hint.

ALASKA-YUKON PACIFIC OPENING GREAT EXPOSITION AT SEATTLE STARTS OUT WITH REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION. TAFT PUSHES GOLD KEY WHEELS START, FOUNTAINS PLAY, BANNERS UNFURL AND CANNONS ROAR SALUTE. Seattle, Wash.-The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, that cost $10,000,-000, and the first sod of which was turned exactly two years ago, was officially opened at noon, Tuesday, June 1st, with fitting splendor and ceremony with a great multitude in attendance. The military parade, the speeches, President Taft's signal, the magic response—all were carried out exactly as planned. When James J. Hill was introduced in the opening exercises a tumult ensued that recalled the demonstrations for favorites at national political conventions, except that here 40,000 people were cheering spontaneously for only one man, who waited several minutes before he could begin his address. The management of the nicely calculated program had omitted to count on this ovation, and when President Taft pressed the gold key at noon and touched off the big signal gong, he cut short Bishop Keator's benediction. A striking feature of the parade was the popular applause for the Japanese visitors of the cruisers Aso and Soya. The arrival at the reviewing stand of Rear Admiral Ijichi and his staff gave the first opportunity to the waiting thousands to cheer. A few minutes later Admiral Uriel Sebree, commanding the Pacific squadron, appeared with his staff. A great shout went up as the Americans walked down the platform to greet the Japanese. Admiral Sebree advanced toward Admiral Ijichi and held out his hand, which was grasped by the scarred veteran from the Orient. This expression of amity by representatives of the two great nations was the signal for another long burst of cheering. The American and Japanese officers were then introduced all around and engaged in conversation. The committee in charge of the parade reversed at the last moment the order of the Japanese and American sailors and put the Americans in front. The Americans received the tribute that everywhere is given to the navy, but the cheering was greatest when the brown men came before the stand. The American officers enthusiastically applauded them, as the Japanese, in a milder, but equally sincere way, had done when the Americans passed a moment before. After disbandment luncheon was served to the Japanese and American sailors in the Formosa tea house, one of the Japanese government buildings. The closing event of the day was a banquet to distinguished guests given in the New York building. When President Taft at 3 o'clock in the afternoon pressed a telegraph key of Alaska gold, he sent a spark across the continent that put in motion the wheels of the exposition, loosed the waters of its fountains, unfurled its banners, started its bands playing, released showers of daylight fireworks, called upon the saluting guns of the American and Japanese fleets, set all the steamers in the harbor and all the locomotives in the railroad yards bellowing and shrieking. The exercises at the world's fair grounds preceding the President's signal were carried out with military precision. The exposition gates were opened at 8:30 o'clock. At 9:30 detachments from the United States army and navy, the Japanese cruisers Aso and Soya and the state militia paraded through the grounds under the command of Col. T. C. Woodbury, U.S. A., and the column was reviewed from a stand at the head of the court of honor by exposition officials, visiting governors, and Admirals Ijichl and Sebree. Then word was flashed to the White House that all was ready, and President Taff's response sct loose the flags, bells, machinery, curious Japanese fireworks and noise. When the message was announced a huge gong struck five strokes and an enormous American flag was unfurled and thousands of small flags were scattered in the breeze. The fair as thrown open was finished and carpenters and painters were nowhere to be seen. The few delayed exhibits will be installed at night. The only serious deficit is in the Hawaiian and Philippine displays. Ovation Delights Japanese. Tokio.-Government officials, the Japanese newspapers and the public generally are highly gratified over the splendid reception given Rear Admiral Ijichi and the Japanese training squadron at Tacoma, accounts of which have been published in the leading papers. The reception of the Japanese cadets and sailors in Tacoma and other cities on the Pacific coast is regarded in all circles as unimpeachable evidence of the sincerity of the friendship between Japan and America.

A little girl in St. Louis the other evening was going through the usual form of prayer: "God bless mamma, and papa and make me a good girl," and so on, when all at once she seemed to come to a decision. "Now that is the last time I am going to say that prayer," she said, very gravely, looking at her mother. "You are older than I am and it is your place to ask for all those things and I don't see any use in two people's asking the same thing." Since then she has firmly refused to pray, insisting that it is her mother's place to ask God for blessings. The Captain's Repartee. The captain of a trans-Atlantic liner, having become irritable as a result of some minor troubles in the ship's management and the unusually large number of ridiculous inquiries made by tourists, was heading for the "bridge" when a dapper young man halted him to inquire the cause of the commotion off the starboard side of the ship. Being on the port side, the captain politely replied, with some sarcasm, he was not certain, but thought it possible that a cat fish had just had kittens.—What-to-Eat.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN No Doubt in the Baggageman's Mind as to Contents of What Looked Like Coffin. In an emergency the manufacturer of Limburger cheese was forced to use strategy with a shipment. Ordinarily his product went in. special cars, but in this instance no car was available and the order must be filled. Two hundred pounds of the fragrant comestible was put in a rough, oblong box, and taken to the railroad baggageroom. Then the manufacturer bought a ticket for himself and the box, and entered the train. At the first stop he went ahead to the baggage car to see that there was no trouble. He stood by the box in a disconsolete attitude and shaded his eyes with his hand. The baggageman was sympathetic. "A relative?" he asked. "Yes," answered the manufacturer, "it is my brother." "Well," said the railroad man, philosophically, "you have one consolation. He's dead, all right."—San Francisco Argonaut. Logical Reasoning. A certain young man's friends thought he was dead, but he was only in a state of coma. When, in ample time to avoid being buried, he showed signs of life, he was asked how it seemed to be dead. "Dead?" he exclaimed. "I wasn't dead. I knew all that was going on. And I knew I wasn't dead, too, because my feet were cold and I was hungry." "But how did that fact make you think you were still alive?" asked one of the curious. "Well, this way: I knew that if I were in heaven I wouldn't be hungry. And if I was in the other place my feet wouldn't be cold." Iron Ore Fields In Finland. Though Finland has been regarded up to the present time as being extremely poor in iron ores, recent research has proved the existence of ore fields in South Finland (Nyland), and above all in the Ladoga lake district, which seem to be worth the expense of mining.
