N SCHOOL OPENS More than forty thousand children started to school this week in Denver. It is a grand and inspiring sight to see the thousands of bright youngsters preparing for the future. It is especially pleasing to note the absence of race prejudice in the public schools. The children of the seven thousand Negro residents of Denver are lost in the great mass of youngsters. They come and go throughout the school course and feel the least possible oppression because of color. All courses, as well as all schools, are open to them. Here our children know nothing of the condition existing in the South, in which they are obliged to attend separate schools because of their color. With this condition come duties and responsibilities. The children must be kept in school. Their dress and personal appearance go for much. Parents should see to it that the little children, as well as the larger ones, go to school well and warmly clad. Their clothing should be clean and everything about the child should exhibit neatness and cleanliness, even if the clothing is cheap or old. Their hair should be cared for each day and parents should see to it that their little hands and faces are clean before sorting the children to school each day. Many of our people are hard-working men and women, who feel that they have not the time to do these little things for their children before leaving for work. But much of what might appear to be trouble in this connection can be obviated by a little effort. The average child is easily taught and a feeling of pride can be soon developed. Pride of the right sort destroys slovenliness in person, as well as in speech. The Negro child in the Denver public school should be taught in their homes that they must excell the white pupils in learning, in gentleness of manners, and all the virtues that go to make excellent manhood and womanhood. These are things to be taught children at home. Herein lies the tadded duty and responsibility of the parent. The right kind of work among them at this time is the sowing of seed in good ground. The harvest in the years to come will be in men and women with --- higher standards of moral and intellectual life. Then, to work with your children, inspiring them with right ideas, makes school days pleasant to them and the work of the teachers will be easier, with better and more tangible results. Also, the parents are saving the children for themselves. INTO EVERYTHING. A famous Negro, writing about the race, notes the marked ability of our people to be "at home" anywhere under the sun. If found on the Strand in London, he is at once the staid and sober Englishman. If he wanders about the boulevards of Paris, he becomes the gay, suave Frenchman; and he can watch a bull fight in Spain with the enthusiasm of a grandee. In America the Negro possesses the shrewdness of the Yankee, the fire and vivacity of the Southerner, and all the live-wire hustling proclivities of the Westerner. The Negro just breaks in and sets out the game. Here comes the glad tidings that the North pole has been discovered by Doctor Cook and Lieutenant Commander Peary. This discovery will possibly relieve some of the sufferings of humanity, but we are not concerned in that. There was a Negro in it. He went with Peary and probably helped nail the flag. Mathew Henson is a District of Columbia Negro, born August 8, 1867. He is Hive feet, ten inches in height and weighs 150 pounds. For the past twenty years he has been the constant companion of Lieutenant Peary in all his travels. Here again the Negrobreaks down traditional theories. Full of tropical blood he has withstood the vigors of the Artie winters with all the ease of an Eskimo. This proves Fred Douglass's oft repeated statement "Just leave the Negro alone" Let him alone with a man's chance in the world and he will get there. MORE HONORS. News comes of more honors for the famous Ninth Cavalry. The soldier boys located at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., will leave the latter part of September to march to Douglass to give display drills during the great Fair to be held there from October 1st to 7th. This is an honor to our boys. The invitation to go was the direct request of State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, the officials of the fair. They are a fine set of men who reflect credit on the race wherever they go. WEST CHESTER FORCES SEGREGATION IN SCHOOL West Chester, Pa., Aug. 30. The School Board of Lower Oxford Township have aroused the colored residents by establishing a separate school for pupils in the village of Lincoln University, the seat of the big colored school. They declare that they will carry the matter into court and have it tested. When the public school in the village opened this morning, one of the school diectors took a stand at the door, and as the colored children arrived he told them to go across the street to the colored school that had been fitted up for them during the vacation. Some of the colored children were accompanied by their parents and when they saw that the white school was closed to them and that they must go to the colored school, they returned home vowing that they would have nothing to do with the colored school. The School Board leased a store room of ex-Commissioner Henry Cope and fitted it up temporarily for the colored pupils. Miss Anna Harris, a colored graduate of Shippensburg Normal school, has been engaged to teach the colored school. The feeling among the colored people is very bitter over the matter. DOCTORS MEET IN WASHINGTON IN 1910 Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, of Newport, R. I., was unanimously elected president for the next year. The only contest for this honor was between Dr. Wheatland and Dr. C. N. Garland. Dr. Garland is the founder of the Plymouth Hospital and Training School and a very successful doctor. He was nominated in an eloquent speech by Dr. W. T. Steers of Decatur, Alabama. The other officers elected were: Dr. W. S. Lofton, D. D. S., of Washington, D. C., vice president; Dr. J. A. Kenney, general secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Dr. A. W. Williams, treasurer, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. J. F. H. Coleman, Ph. G., of Newport News, Va., was elected pharmaceutical secretary; Dr. A. T. Robinson, D. D. S., of New York City, dental secretary; Dr. R. F. Boyd of Nashville, Dr. Geo. C. Hall of Chicago, Dr. Willis E. Sterrs of Decatur, Ala., Dr. Mahlon A. Vanhorn of Newport, R. I., Dr. C. H. Shephard of Durham, N. C., Dr. Amanda Gray of Washington, D. C., Dr. N. E. Morsell of ```markdown ``` Philadelphia, Dr. G. E. Cannon of Jersey City, and Dr. C. H. Marshall of Washington, D. C., executive committee. The next place of meeting will be held at Washington, D. C.—Nashville Globe. WHITE MEN IN LOUISIANA MARRYING COLORED WOMEN. New Orleans, La. Aug. 25. "She's my wife. We have lived together 38 years. The law cannot estrange us." Thus spoke Joseph Lawrence, a white farmer, in the Second Criminal Court yesterday, while he was awaiting trial on the charge of marrying a Negro woman. Through the arrest of Lawrence and his colored wife the police discovered a hard situation. All around Lee stationey the white farmers and fishermen and other classes have intermarried with colored people and reared large families, regardless of the law against such. A number of arrests have been made, but it has been impossible to convict one for the reason that the white parties all went on the stand and swore they were colored. Just what the prosecuting attorney can do remains to be seen — The Picayune. The Birmingham Age Harald, one of the leading dailies of the southland, in reporting the trial of two white men who were up for stealing a barge and a lot of iron, and after a trial lasting two days, were acquitted of the charge, commentingly it said: One of the most interesting features of the trial of the case was the fact that they were represented by the well known colored attorney, H. V. Cashin, of Decatur, who has the reputation of being one of the best colored lawyers of the South. His argument before the court is said to have been one of the strongest ever heard in this county. OLD PEOPLE SHOULD BE YOUNG. There is no use of those people who are old in years to be old in spirit and enjoyment. The writer has seen people eighty-five or ninety years old as buoyant and lively as they were at forty. The state of mind has much to do with old age. If aged persons think they are old and useless they will be so, otherwise if they harbor the thought that they are yet young and useful they will be so. A person should be in the prime of life at three score and ten. He has had the experience of a life time and better calculated to perform his duties than the inexperienced. Gladstone, one the greatest premiers that ever lived, was wiser at eightp-five than at a younger age. We learn of men over eighty having charge of large business institutions.—Seattle Republican.

She has accepted a position in connection with the Young Women's Christian Association in New York City. Tuskegee, Ala., August 29.—Lloyd G. Wheeler for many years purchasing agent of Tuskegee died yesterday after a long sickness from diabetes. He was the first colored man admitted to the Illinois Bar and was a member of the Jubiciary of Arkansas in 1871. In 1872 he was a Presidential elector from Arkansas for General Grant.

Y., Sept. 2.—The most successful concert given in Saratoga Springs in years was the Song Recital of Mme. E. Azalia Hackley at Academy Hall Wednesday evening, August 25. The concert was given by the Dyer Phelps A. M. E. Zion Church, and Rev. H. J. Starks and his energetic committee are receiving well deserved congratulations upon their extraordinary success. The audience was most enthusiastic in its expression of approval, and Mme. Hackley won many friends, who are looking forward to her return. Kansas City, Mo., August 31. At the fifteenth biennial encampment of the Negro Knights of Pythias held last week in this city, one of the principal subjects discussed during the closing hours of the session was the building of a home for the disabled members of the order. The Pythians plan to erect a home in Colorado Springs, Colo., which will be in charge of Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, grand chancellor of the State of Colorado. It will cost $50,000. Augusta, Ga., August 31.—As a tribute to his fidelity and character the white citizens here are raising a fund to erect a monument to Pickens Wells, the famous barbecue cook, who died August 18. The deceased dropped dead while preparing a barbecue. He was known throughout the country as one of the best barbecue cooks in the South, and prepared the barbecue at which President Taft was the guest of honor last winter. The President praised Wells for his appetizing meal. The French army proposition whereby Negroes of the United States are to become temporary French subjects sounds good to us. We favor the proposition for the reason that we need a certain class of military training that is denied us in America, or at least to such an extent that citizens who would gladly serve the country in time of peace refrain from doing so on account of the prejudice that still exists and other restrictions that lay citizens know nothing of. But, were the door of opportunity opened to every one alike, then we assure all that the proposition might NO. 52 present a different color. Oklahoma Tribune. Saratoga, N.

Owing to the thousands of windows in the skyscraping buildings, the invention means much. It makes one nervous to think of hanging on the outside of a window of the fortiest story, or one half that many stories. A machine that can do the work will be a most welcome "institution." A company capitalized at $60,000 has been formed, and members of the Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Company are back of it. The machine has been patented in America, England, France, Germany and Canada, and within a short time it will be on the market. Atlanta, Ga., August 30.—The formation of a chemical company for the manufacture and sale of drugs, medicine and pharmaceutical preparations is one of the latest business undertakings started by Negroes in this state. The company will capitalize for $25,000 with privilege of increasing the capital stock to $100,000. The charter members of the new company are: Dr. W. H Davis of Washington, D. C.; Dr. Moses Amos of Atlanta; D. L, Jackson of Dougherty, Ga; Dr. W. R. Boykin, of Albany, Ga.; Prof. J. W. Holley, of Macon; J. B. Long of Atlanta, and M. O. Lee, of Albany. Novel Railroad Danger Signal. A remarkable invention for preventing railway accidents has been tried with success on the western railways of France. If the driver for any cause passes an adverse danger signal the apparatus blows a whistle on the engine continuously, and also throws up a small light under the engine driver's nose. This will render all accidents, except willful ones, impossible. THE GERMAN AMERICAN TRUST COMPANY Seventeenth and Lawrence Sts.

AUGUST RECORD MONTH NEW LAW DOUBLING HOME STEADS IS PARTLY RE- RESPONSIBLE. Denver.—August established a record for the United States land office in Denver. During the month the unprecedented total of 82,323 acres of land were taken up and $20,013 turned into the treasury. August, a year ago, showed about 40,000 less acres and only $14,475 in receipts. The majority of the filings were in Weld, Adams and Larimer county, where the rush of homeseekers is exceptional. There were 63,919 original homestead acres taken up and 11,685 acres in desert entries. Final proof was taken on 1,800 acres. The record-breaking business is accounted for by the new laws passed by congress creating 320-acre homestead entries, and additional homestead entries for those who had already filed, and the modification, or doing away with, of certain restrictive laws together with the influx of homeseekers to Colorado. All over the state, land offices smashed records during the month. Income Tax to State Big. Colorado Springs.—The state inheritance tax on the William J. Palmer estate, amounting to $75,410.89, was paid today by the executors to the county treasurer, in trust for the state. This is the second largest inheritance tax ever paid to the state, the largest tax being paid by the W. S. Stratton estate, amounting to $290,000. Both these inheritance taxes have been paid by the estate of Colorado Springs residents. The law allows a discount of 5 per cent for payment of inheritance tax within six months from the death of the testator. General Palmer will have been dead six months next Monday, so that the executors saved this discount, amounting to about $4,000, and also saved interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, which is levied on all taxes not paid within the six months' limit. The executors of the estate are George Krause, George Foster, Peabody and E. M. Shepard, all of New York. The Palmer estate was appraised at $3,165,270.67 at the time of the general's death. Outstanding claims aggregated $114,511.29. The executors received $150,000 in fees and the administration expense was $93,351.80. The net value of the estate is $2,807,407.58. The three daughters of General Palmer, the Misses Marjorie and Dorothy Palmer, and Mrs. Elsie Myers, who received $713,578.13 each, paid the lowest rate for the inheritance tax, 2 per cent. Cladys Young, who received the next largest inheritance, $100,000, was taxed 6 per cent. Interest is added to all the legatees, in compliance with the will of General Palmer, and the tax is based on both principal and interest. State Fair, Sept. 12. Overland park, Denver, the home of the annual Interstate fair and exposition is the scene of great activity. Carpenters, plumbers and painters, decorators, etc., are getting the park in readiness for the exposition that opens Sept. 12th. The rains of the past few days have been very beneficial to the lawn and trees. Exhibits by the trainloads are arriving daily in a steady stream from all over the state and are being placed in the position allotted to them by competent and experienced men. The machinery exhibits near the Rio Grande gate will be larger this year than ever before, a mass of windmills, gasoline engines and modern agricultural machinery will greet the visitor as he steps through the western gate of the park. Old Nancy Mine Open. Boulder.—The old Nancy mine at Wall street, which has been idle for almost a decade, has recently been taken over by a Philadelphia company and is being cleaned out and retimbered preparatory to extensive operation. The property has produced in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars, and was worked from a tunnel which extends into the mountain over 1,200 feet, cutting four veins which have contributed to the production. President John W. Springer, of the Colorado Inter-State Fair and Exposition, to be held at Overland Park, Denver, commencing September 12, has personally invited President Taft to open and attend the exposition. The president will be in the West about fair time. Charles Clark, who is alleged to have attempted to rob the safe at the Cliff house in Manitou ten days ago, was removed from St. Francis' hospital to the county jail. An X-ray examination was made to locate the two bullets supposed to be in his head. FAINT HEART AND FAIR LAD) Chances Good That the Ancient Adage Once More Proved Wisdom of Man Who Uttered It. He was afraid to tell her right out and out that he loved her, so he began in a round-about way, hoping she would catch his drift, then betray, by her confusion, her own feelings. He didn't dream but that she loved him, but thought that she, like himself, was afraid to demonstrate it. "Heart trouble?" she repeated. "Are you sure you've heart trouble, Alfred? You know indigestion is very like it at times." "Oh, I know I've got heart trouble all right. I—can't you see it your- self?" "Why, how silly, Alfred; no one can see heart trouble; they have to feel it. Have you taken anything for it?" "No, not yet, but I—I want to, don't you know." "Then why don't you?" "I—I would; that is, if I could get it." "Can't you get it, Alfred?" "No, not yet." (Silence for two provoking minutes.) He—I'd kiss you if I dared. She—Well, don't you dare to if that's the way you feel about it. BABY HORRIBLY BURNED. By Boiling Grease—Skin All Came Off One Side of Face and Head— Thought Her Disfigured for Life. Used Cuticura: No Scar Left. "My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1, Henry St., South Shields, Durham, England, March 22, 1908."

Question of Grammar A Question of Grammar Hetty's uncle, who was a school teacher, met her on the street one beautiful May day and asked her if she was going out with the Maying party. "No, I ain't going." "Oh, my little dear," said her uncle, "you must not say I ain't going," and he proceeded to give her a little lesson in grammar. "You are not going. He is not going. We are not going. You are not going. They are not going. Now, can you say all that, Hetty?" "Sure I can," she replied, making a courtesy. "There ain't nobody going." —Lutheran. Care in Preparing Food In recent years scientists have proved that the value of food is measured largely by its purity; the result is the most stringent pure food laws that have ever been known. One food that has stood out prominently as a perfectly clean and pure food and which was as pure before the enactment of these laws as it could possibly be is Quaker Scotch Oats; conceded by the experts to be the ideal food for making strength of muscle and brain. The best and cheapest of all foods. The Quaker Oats Company is the only manufacturer of oatmeal that has satisfactorily solved the problem of removing the husks and black specks which are so annoying when other brands are eaten. If you are convenient to the store buy the regular size packages; if not near the store, buy the large size family packages. Adjustable. Aunt Anne, an old family darky, was sitting with knees crossed in the kitchen, when the young daughter of the house entered and, impressed with the hugeness of the old woman's feet, asked what size shoe she wore. "Well, honey," replied Aunt Anne, "I kin wear eights; I generally wear nines; but desse yer I've got on am twelves, an' de good Lawd knows dey hu's me!"—Everybody's Magazine. Important to Mothers.

ACTIVE TO THE LAST ACTIVE TO THE LAST WAS DOMINANT POWER IN RAILROAD SYSTEMS AGGREGATING 72,000 MILES. Edward H. Harriman died at 3:35 p. m. Thursday, September 9, at his magnificent home at Arden, N. Y. Death ended remarkable battle of more than a year against an intestinal trouble that weakened his body but left his wonderful brain intact. Worked until ninety minutes before death ended career which will leave an indelible stamp upon the railroads of America. Harriman was the dominant power in railroad systems aggregating 72,000 miles. Wealth is estimated at from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. Magnate had built up a system which is expected to continue without interruption. Loree, Lovett and Krutchnitt are mentioned as successors to Harriman, with Loree the strongest candidate. Arden, N. Y., Sept. 9.—Edward H. Harriman, the greatest organizer of railroads the world has ever known, met the only lasting defeat of his active life today at the hands of death. Secluded in his magnificent home on tower hill, he succumbed to an intestinal disorder this afternoon, after a fight against disease which will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. Harriman died peacefully, and to the end his brilliant mind retained its integrity. No spiritual adviser was at hand. The swiftest automobile in the Harriman garage had been dispatched for the Rev. Dr. J. Holmes McGuinness, Episcopal rector of Arden parish, but he was not at home. When found later, he hurried to Arden house, but death had reached there first. With the secrecy that has been maintained at the Harriman residence unbroken to the very end, news of Harriman's death was conveyed to New York before it came to Arden and the valley below. Then, by way of New York, the report spread quickly, and confirmation was sought at the residence by telephone. During the last ten days rumors have been so persistent and variable that little credence was at first given the report, and it was a shock when a voice on the hill replied: "Yes, that is correct. Mr. Harriman died at 3:55 p. m." Soon afterward, the hundreds of workmen engaged on the uncompleted estate learned of their employer's death when a page went and announced simply: "You will all quit work. Mr. Harriman is dead." A hush fell over the group, and the workmen, dropping their tools, trudged silently to the flat cars and descended on the private inclined railway. That Harriman dictated letters to his stenographer an hour and a half before his death will be no surprise to any of Harriman's business associates or, indeed, to any one at all familiar with him. His mental energy was dynamic—his mind a dynamo working continuously in all awakened hours. Whenever at any time in the past year any of his associates has been asked if Harriman proposed to retire, invariably the reply has been: Harriman will work until he dies. He worked until ninety minutes of his death. It was his mind rather than his body that supported Harriman, practically all of the past year. He has to a large extent literally lived on his nerves. Tried to Force Elopement. Pueblo.—Augustino and Clara Allito husband and wife, filed suit for $5,000 damages against Augustina and Salvatore Magnelli, brothers, charging that they attempted to induce Mrs. Allito to elope with Augustino Magnelli, and when she refused, threatened to kill her. The complaint alleges that one of the brothers accosted Mrs. Allito in an alley and threatened, if she did not elope, he would shoot her then and there. Prior to that, it is charged that Augustino Magnelli compelled the woman at the point of a revolver to write a letter addressed to him which it is said contained statements against her character. San Francisco.—Heirs named in the will of John R. Hite, a millionaire mining man of Mariposa, Calif., have effected a settlement with his Indian widow, it was announced today, and within a week more than $6,000,000 will be distributed. Hite was a pioneer in the California gold fields and married an Indian woman from whom he afterwards separated, making an allowance for her maintenance. She was not provided for in his will and the contest followed his death. The suit was compromised for $100,000. COLORADO ITEMS A man supposed to be E. Blanke of Cawker City, Kan., took a noverose of morphine at Pueblo and was found dead Greeley is much concerned over the rumor that the Union Pacific has purchased the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern road. Walter Hooney, a machine tender at the Gunnison tunnel, was instantly killed by a slab of rock from the roof of the tunnel falling on him. County Treasurer Simmons, of Colorado Springs, says the tax payments for this year are already $100,000 above the entire amount paid in last year. With 3,000 people present and Old Glory waving in the breeze from the exhibit buildings, the opening day at the Morgan County fair was a gorgeous scene. Joseph Devine, marshal of Pryor, a mining camp, was shot and almost in instantly killed by Michael Peyton, a miner. Peyton did not resist arrest and is now in jail. Owing to the muddy condition of the grounds the fair which was to have opened at Littleton this week, was postponed until September 30th, October 1st, and 2nd. That the late Christopher Lambrecht of Fort Lupton was sane when he made the will cutting off his oldest daughter, Mrs. Augusta Rahders of New York City, with $2, was the finding of a jury at Greeley. The Union Printers' Home will, in all probability, contest the sale several months ago by the state to Brooks Irione, as trustee of the, National Letter Carriers' Association, of 160 acres of land east of the Printers' Home. Rev, Oscar Lowrey, evangelist from town, has opened a four weeks' campaign under the auspices of the Ministerial Association of Durango, combining all the churches, including the Episcopal. Over 1,000 people attended the first meeting. Stockmen of Gunnison county are alarmed over the prospects of an epidemic of pleuro pneumonia among the cattle. Several cases have developed in the herds along Ohio creek, and several animals have died. State Veterinarian Lamb has been sent for. The county fair opened at Canon City with an attendance of 10,000 people, the largest opening day in the history of the fair. The weather was just right. The rain put the track in good shape for the racing, which was the best ever held in Fremont county. Greeley.—Word is received by Union Pacific officers that service will begin on the new branch line through Pleasant valley and the Crow Creek district on or before October 1st. Freight rates have not been announced but freight service will begin within the completion of the line. The excitement caused by the rich gold strike just east of Salida increases and a territory covering nearly five square miles has been staked out by both men and women from Salida and the nearby country, who believe that a second Cripple Creek has been discovered. The contract for building the bridge over the Big Sandy river south of Boyero," Lincoln county, was awarded the Levey Construction Company of Denver, it being the lowest bidder, $1,642. The Legislature appropriated $3,000 for this bridge. This is a much needed improvement for the southern part of the county. A fair that will eclipse any similar celebration the Western slope has ever known and be rivaled in importance only by the Gunnison tunnel opening, is the boast of officials, who, after months of labor, have at last announced that the sixth annual Mesa County fair is now ready for the opening, September 21st. Despite the rainy weather, which has interfered with the fruit picking a total of more than 350 carloads has been shipped from the Grand valley and the prospects are that next week will see a still further increase. The shipments from Palisade which stood at the top of the list were nearly 200 cars, principally Alberta peaches. With the precipitation for the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th of September reaching 2.57 inches and the precipitation thus far this year totalling 19.49 inches, officials of the local United States weather bureau are confident that 1909 will break all records for rainfall in Colorado during the thirty-eight years that the Denver bureau has been in existence. A valuable sorrel horse which belonged to Mrs. A. E. Carlton, wife of the president of the First National bank at Cripple Creek, died on the street in front of the bank. Mrs. Carlton immediately arranged for a funeral for her pet. Invitations were sent out to the friends this afternoon announcing that the funeral would be held tomorrow afternoon and that the interment would be in the dogs' cemetery, in which six lots were purchased in order to get enough room to bury the animal. Denver men, recognizing the tremendously growing importance of the Dry Farming congress, will go to Billings, Mont., next month to attend the fifth annual convention in such numbers that it is considered almost a foregone conclusion that the 1910 convention will be brought to Denver. At a recent meeting of the Colorado Poultry Farmers' Ass'n, held in Denver, the support of this organization was pledged to the second annual Colorado Inter-State Fair and Exposition, which will be held at Overland Park the third week in September. AFTER DOCTORS FAILED Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Cured Her. Willimantic, Conn.—"For five years I suffered untold agony from female troubles, causing backache, irregularities, dizziness and nervous prostration. It was impossible for me to walk upstairs without stopping on the way. I tried three different doctors and each told me something different. I received no benefit from any of them, but seemed to suffer more. The last doctor said nothing would restore my health. I began walk upstairs without stopping on the way. I tried three different doctors and each told me something different. I received no benefit from any of them, but seemed to suffer more. The last doctor said nothing would restore my health. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to see what it would do, and I am restored to my natural health."—Mrs. ETTA DONOVAN, Box 299, Willimantic, Conn. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled.

A group of men were discussing the possibilities and dangers of woman suffrage.

The exception, a commercial traveler, with years of experience in studying human nature, scoffed at their alarm. "Don't worry," he said. "We'll be safe for a good many years yet. In all my trips about the country I find that two-thirds of the women traveler even those who are self-reliant enough to gallivant about alone, can't go to bed even in a sleeping car without first looking under the berth to see if there is a man there.

PEARY BRINGS AMPLE PROOF HE REACHED NORTH POLE ONLY A THIRTY DAY DASH FROM LAND TO THE APEX OF THE UNIVERSE Graphic Description of Noted Explorer's Trip Over Barren Waste as Told by Able Writer--- No Doubt of Discovery Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Wireless, Cape Ray, N. F., Sept. 8. As it may be possible to get my full story through in time, partly as a prelude to stimulate interest, and partly to forestall possible leaks, I am sending you a brief summary of my voyage to the north pole, which is to be printed exactly as written. Summary of north polar expedition of the Peary Arctic club: The steamer Roosevelt left New York on July 6, 1908; left Sydney on July 17; arrived at Cape York, Greenland, August 1; left Etah, Greenland, August 8; arrived Cape Sheridan, at Grantland, September 1; wintered at Cape Sheridan. evelt February 15th, while it was still practically dark in that latitude. The sun scarcely begins to peer above the hills for a few minutes a day, even several hundred miles to the south of the coast where the Roosevelt was wintering. It comes into view a little later in that more northern latitude, and the party made slow time The sledge expedition left the Roosevelt February 15, 1909, and started for the north.

All returning left North pole April 7th, reached Cape Columbia April 23rd; arriving on board Roosevelt April 27th. The Roosevelt left Cape Sheridan July 18th, passed Cape Sabine August 8th; left Cape York August 26th; arrived at Indian Harbor with all members of expedition returning in good health, except Prof. Ross G. Marvin, unfortunately drowned April 10th; when forty-five miles north of Cape Columbia, returning from 86 degrees north latitude in command of the supporting party. Cyrus C. Adams, the author of the following article relative to Peary's summary of his voyage, is one of the most noted geographers of the world, and is prominent in geographical societies, not only in this, but in other countries. New York.—Peary's dispatch, printed above, though very condensed, tells clearly the leading facts in the story, not only of Peary's journey to the North pole, but also of a remarkably fast sledge trip over the ice of the open polar sea. The dispatch says that the Roosevelt passed the winter of 1908-1909 at Cane Sheridan, on the coast of Grantland. The vessel had threaded the comparatively narrow channels, several hundred miles in length, leading from Cape Sabine to the Arctic ocean. This journey is apt to be very difficult, and sometimes impossible, but the conditions were evidently favorable. The ship that disappeared in the fog while the crew of Peary's auxiliary steamer, Erik, were watching her departure from Etah, made a very good passage through the large channels, and arrived safely on the shores of the sea, where the explorer was to start on his sledges for the North pole. But at Cape Sheridan he was not as far west as he probably had hoped to attain. He had announced his intention in the previous year of making his sledge route to the pole along some meridian much farther to the west of his route in 1906, when he made the highest north attained up to that time—87 degrees, 6 seconds. On that occasion he was greatly impeded by the rapid drift of the ice to the east, which retarded his progress north, and, worse still, carried him so far to the east that he had to make his landing on the coast of North Greenland, many days' march from the Roosevelt, his base of supplies. On his expedition of 1905-6 he tried very hard to force the Roosevelt a good distance to the west of Cape Sheridan, but the ice baffled him. For one reason or another, on the edge of the Arctic winter last year, he did not, or could not, take his vessel along the northern coast of Grantland to the west of Cape Sheridan, and so she spent last winter not so very far from her old berth in the ice in the winter of 1905-6. The sledge expedition left the Roos- Seaman Thinks Cook Was First. Gloucester, Mass. — Interesting statements concerning Dr. Frederick A. Cook's dash to the pole were made by Michael Wise of this town, a seaman on the schooner Admiral Dewey, which arrived today after an extended fishing trip in Northern waters. Wise, who was mate on the John E. Bradley, which carried Cook's expedition, says he was the man picked by the explorer to accompany him after leaving Eah. evelt February 15th, while it was still practically dark in that latitude. The sun scarcely begins to peer above the hills for a few minutes a day, even several hundred miles to the south of the coast where the Roosevelt was wintering. It comes into view a little later in that more northern latitude, and the party made slow time to the west, as it felt its way along. The northern Grantland coast is likely to be exceedingly difficult to traverse, especially in the early spring, on account of the masses of sea ice that have been pressed on the shore, or broken into great blocks and stranded along the sea edge. It is no wonder that it took the party fifteen days to travel westward as far as Cape Columbia. It is very likely, however, that Commander Peary succeeded before winter set in in cacheing supplies to the westward, so as to accelerate a little the westward movement of the sledge party before it struck out northward over the sea. Arriving at Cape Columbia on March 15th, the sledges turned to the north on the sea ice. The explorer had laid much stress upon the fact that he intended to travel much farther to the west than on his trip in 1906. His dispatch shows, however, that he did not take to the sea any farther to the west than he did on his earlier trip. If, therefore, his route was really much farther west than that which he had traversed earlier, he must have traveled a considerable distance to the northwest over the sea ice. The sledging conditions could not have been very unfavorable, for the jorney both north and south, not counting the detentions at water openings, was made in very fast time for sledging on ice in the open polar seal. It is not at all unusual in sledge work within forty of fifty miles of the land, for the pressure of the ice on the coast to result in breaking and piling up of the ice into pressure ridges from 25 to 100 feet in height, and sometimes of great length, so that it is difficult either to cross or circumvent them. Commander Peary says nothing in his summary of being detained by pressure ridges or hummocks, and it is very certain that he met with no impediments of this sort, such as made his attempt to reach the pole in 1902 a continuous and terrible struggle. A great obstacle and the one that undoubtedly prevented him from reaching the pole in 1906 was the wide water lanes, or leads, some of them so long that he could not get around them. One of them kept his party idle in camp for a week, and the total delay from this cause was fatal to his plans. Conditions were different last spring, though he was held up by leads on the northern march about two weeks. He seems to have derived two great advantages from his very early start. In the first place, it would not be until much later in the season that the water lanes would develop so far as to threaten him with defeat, and then his early start gave him all the more time to carry out his work before the widespread breakup of the sea ice would make sledging impossible on the polar ocean. Peary's summary seems to show that he was a little over thirty-five days on the journey from the land to the North pole. In this time he was celayed about fourteen days by water leads, leaving a little more than three weeks for the actual sledging work. We may get a good idea of the average rate of travel by taking the first sea and the North pole records. He passed the British record on March 2 and reached the pole on April 6. The distance between them is 460 statute miles, and the time in making the journey was thirty-four days, including the time of detention by water leads. This is an average of a little less than twelve miles a day, which is the best record ever attained for long route sledging on the open polar sea. Philadelphia—"Too much importance should not be attached to the dispatch received from Commander Peary concerning Dr. Cook," said Henry G. Bryant, president of the Geographical society of Philadelphia today when shown the Peary telegram to the Associated Press. Mr. Bryant, who is a friend of both explorers, said that the testimony of Eskimos cannot be relied upon and that Eskimos will say anything suggested to them. The Italian Cagni, of the duke of Abruzzi expedition, who made the highest record till Peary beat it in 1906, made an average of only about seven miles a day on his great journey, and in ten days, on account of deep snow, they covered only forty-three and a half miles to the north of their ship. Cagni expressed the wish before he started that he might make the miles a day, but said he knew this was impossible. Peary has not only reached the pole, but he has attained it at an earlier date in the year than any of the other high records in the Arctic have been made. He was at the pole one day earlier in the year than Nansen reached 86 degrees 5 minutes, nineteen days earlier than Cagni reached 86 degrees 34 minutes, and thirty-seven days earlier than Lockwood and Brainard reached 83 degrees 24 minutes. This is significant of the surpassing achievement in sledge work that Peary has accomplished, because all such endeavor is necessarily limited on one side, as far as sea journeys are concerned, by the time of sunrise. For fifteen years Peary has been known as the greatest of sledge travelers; and last spring, on the last sledge journey he is likely ever to make, he has not only reached the pole, but he has beaten the records of himself and of all others in covering, in the high latitudes, the greatest distance on the sea ice, in the shortest time after sunrise. As a piece of pure sledge work, wholly apart from the conquest of the geographical goal of many ages, this last Arctic work of Peary's beats all achievements of its kind by any explorer. As some parts of the summary may not be understood by many readers unless explained, it should be said that on the journey north Peary crossed the British record (Nares, 83 degrees 20 seconds) on March 2; the Norwegian record (Nansen, 86 degrees 5 seconds) on March 23; the Italian record (Cagni, 86 degrees 34 seconds) on March 24, and the American record (Peary, 87 degrees 6 seconds) on March 27. One of the remarkable features of the achievement is the fact that even the supporting party advanced within about seventy miles of the highest north. The summary says nothing about the snow conditions, but the time made on the journey makes it evident that the pace was not much impeded by killing effort to struggle through deep snow. On the whole, natural conditions seem to have been favorable to the fulfillment of the great enterprise. Many times they have been just as favorable as they were last spring, but the human conditions were never seen before at their very best. When Peary was younger than now he could not have achieved what he has done this year. The conquest of the pole was not the work merely of last March and April. Every year that Peary has been in the field he has learned something new that counted in the great culmination. One year he found that he must move his base of operations at least 400 miles farther north; another, that he must build a vessel that would stand up under the terrible ice pressures of the Smith sound channels; another, that he must start from the Arctic coast at a point farther west, to avoid in some degree the almost impassable pressure ridges; another, that he should go still farther west to counteract the influence of the eastern ice drift, and that an earlier start should be made to reduce to a minimum the plague of water leads. So it has gone from year to year, till now, when the quincessence of experience and the qualities of the masterful explorer have united to reveal the pole, and put an end to the quest of centuries. Peary will now do what all competent explorers are expected to do. He will show his records, tell how his observations were made, and with what instruments. Perhaps some persons may have the idea, from what they have recently read, that proofs of exploratory work are required only when it is thought that there may be some mistake about the accuracy of the reported results. This is not the case. All well-equipped explorers desire and expect that competent judges will pass upon the value of the scientific features of their work, and as a matter of course they include in their reports, or books, the evidence on which their results are based. London.—The Reuter Telegraph company has received the following cablegram from Commander Peary dated Indian Harbor, Labrador: "Cook's story should not be taken too seriously. The Eskimos who accompanied him, say he went no distance north and not out of sight of land. Other men of the tribe corroborate their statements." New York—Among the friends of Cook here who rallied to his defense today was Capt. B. S. Osborn, president of the Arctic Club of America, who in an interview attacked Peary's credibility and declared that evidence would be forthcoming shortly to support Dr. Cook's position and show that Peary's charges are unfounded. "Peary in making these charges is digging his own grave. He is a colossal faker and his statements are a fabric of untruths. Yes! 'Tis True!! It's Honest All Through!!!

Norwirnstanpine his unequaled measure of hardships, the Negro has more fun, more pleasure, than any other race of people on earth. He doesn’t have the same comforts that other people have—the conven- iences and privileges of wealth and station—but he apes them or substi- tutes something else for them, and passes the imitation off with a joke, a laugh and a ready forgetfulness. Light-heartedness is a virtue up to a certain point, but there can be no doubt that it has its limitations, beyond which it becomes an evil and a menace to the welfare of the easy-going and self-indulgent vietim. The spirit of the age in which we are living governs the welfare of all people within the world-radius of its irresistible and indiscriminating influence and those who disre- gard its demands and laugh away its seeming ineongruities must pay the cost of their unnatural pleasures some day, no matter how far dis- tant that day may be. But the Negro is not putting off his day of payment so far as his light heart and his less-interested and jocund observers would lead him to believe. The Negro is living too much for pleasure and by pleasure and not enough for improvement by hard, patient and sober endeavor. Many of our most important institutions, devoted professedly and fundamentally to the most serious side of our welfare and being, depend upon the idle pleasure which they provide the public for an important part of the revenue necessary for their fi- nancial sustenance. Many individuals and aggregations of individuals among us make their living by catering to and encouraging, to the ex- treme, the already extravagant propensity of the race toward pleasur- able pastime and irreparable wastefulness. The cost of it all is the lack of the inculeation of serious ideas and aspirations in the minds of our youth, who are to become the race of the future; the lack of that special and proper education which is necessary and must be acquired before the Negro can ever measure up to the spirit of the age and hold his own with other people. The de- pendence of the Negro, as a race, upon the white man, his business and his institutions, is becoming more and more out of date, and his inde- pendence and self-sustenance is becoming more and more required. ‘The establishment and support of his own business institutions, his own newspapers, his own commercial, industrial and agricultural _enter- prises, is becoming more and more imperative and vital. He can reach these serious and all-important ends only through the sacrifice of his idle and inordinate indulgence in unlimited pleasures, and all true teachers of the race must soon begin to teach these facts, ¥ BLACK SOLDIERS IN EUROPE. 4s interest has been aroused, not onl; he announcement from Paris that a s looking to the extension of the Frene n possessions, with the purpose of ad rance an active army of 100,000 blac! force large enough to enable the co Paar see mel haw CoNSIDERABLE interest has been aroused, not only in Burope, but in America, by the announcement from Paris that a scheme is contem- plated in France looking to the extension of the French military law to the West African possessions, with the purpose of adding to the mili- tary forees of France an active army of 100,000 black soldiers, with a veteran reserve force large enough to enable the country in time of great national danger to swell the ranks of the regular army by 150,000 or more excellent troops. It would be intended to garrison only about one-fourth of these troops in France, the remainder being kept in garrisons in Algiers. ‘The proposition is expected to meet with considerable opposition from either a standpoint of sentiment or race prejudice, for Negro troops have not figured in European wars,to any extent since the,days ofthe Remantempire, and even in those'd@ys of savage conquest they were probably never as far north as the present French border. However, if France, following the dictates af present military-need, should eventually put this"dea into execution, her example would probably be followed, to some rteut by Germany and Great Britain, which latter countries already maintain, in their East African possessions, black military forces of considerable strength and efficiency. That the Negro can be developed into the highest type of soldier has been thoroughly demonstrated by the United States, and the example set in the war between the United States and Spain would give European governments small reason for hesitation over the question of the advisability of employing black soldiers in a war originating between white nations. As governments and races are now intermixed, in social fabric and political unity, it probably is impossible for any belligerent country in the world to declare, ‘‘This is a white man’s war.’’ That declaration failed of proof in our Civil war fifty years ago and any prolonged Buropean war would probably witness some strange developments along this line. France is best suited to try the experiment, for the character of her African possessions and the temper of her own native people are most favorable to the success of the scheme. Because of his long development under the most advanced conditions of modern civilization, the Negro soldier of the United States is the best Negro soldier in the world, and the equal of any soldier, but the introduction of the native African into the armies of Europe will have a broadening effect upon the military capabilities of the Negro the world over. ae Shh adel Love Affairs By HELEN OLDFIELD 3 IT ANYBODY’S business if a gentleman should choose To wait upon a lady, if the lady don’t refuse? Or, to speak a littl: plainer, that the meaning all may know, Is it anybody's busirss if a lady has a beau?” It is a pity, bot there are many people who, whether from contemporanesus human interest or from impertinent curiosity, manifest . great disposition to concern themselves with that which is none of their business and solely pertains to their neighbor's «fairs. Especially is this noticeable when thn latatenianneteee. nf tha BKanrhe nathine lancansnh nttnanes these busybodies as an incipient love affair. If Johnny Jones, on two or three successive Sunday nights, goes to church with Susy Smith; if Edwin at reception or awn party ‘shows a preference for the society of Ancelina above that of the other damsels of their set, forthwith tongues begin to wag, an engagement is taken for granted, and knowing looks and open comment freely are indulged in, to the greater or less embarrassment of the young couple, who in all prob- ability merely were enjoying each other’s congenial society, with no ulte- rior purpose of matrimony in view. Of course it may be said that the young folks ought not to mind a little teasing and that they are foolish to care. But sometimes the teas- ing is more than little, and for the folly, is it not among the saying of sages that all men, still more «il women, especially in the days of their youth, are prone to folly as sparks that fly upward? ‘The woman who is capable of a genuine platonic friendship may be willing to run the gantlet of small talk so long as she and her friend thoroughly understand each other, but always there is the haunting doubt _as to whether he really does know that she is not in love with him. And when, as so often happens, the friendship glides into love she never can be altogether sure that her suitor is not asking her to marry him because he is in love with her but because other people have persuaded him that she expects him to do so. Yet: this situation less is to be dreaded than that vague connection, a little more than friendship, a good deal less than‘ love, where neither quite is clear about the feelings of the other, where the woman is fettered by conventions and the man, who could make matters clear, is salisficd with undefined relations. It is one of the many cases in which men fail in candor to women because they dread a scene. For the rest, it is not to be wondered at that the world at large does not believe in platonic friend- ship between men and women; the point in which it is at fault is that it will not leave such affairs to ripen into love or to fade and fall at leisure without interference, which almost invariably does harm rather than good. cool.

The gold mine owners in South Africa have in three years spent over $1,000,000 recruiting laborers from Central Africa. They only got 17,000 negroes, and few of them could stand the winter. Then’67,000 Chinese were brought, starting the labor troubles Jockey Club of England. ‘The fact that Lord Iichester has been elected a member of the Jockey club of England recalls to the Dundee Ad: vertiser the extraordinary exclustye- ness of the institution, which num- bers the king as a member. ‘The membership is limited to 70, and it is said the only club that can vie with it In exclusiveness is the Royal Yacht squadron, It was formed to provide a select and exclusive circle of sportsmen, but in the early days of the club heavy gambling, with un: seemly brawls and open accusations of cheating, took place within its walls.

To speak or write nature did not peremptorily order thee; but to work, she did.—Thomas Carlyle. JACK JOHNSON WINNER Ever since Jack Johnson put Tommie Burns out at Sydney, Australia, there has been a scramble to find some white man to win back the title. The maten between Johnson and Al Kaufman, the California blacksmith, which took place in Coffroth's arena, has demonstrated how very superior Johnson is over any of the present day heavyweights. For ten rounds Johnson made a chopping block of Kaufman, and got away without a scratch. He is by far the cleverest man in the ring today. The coming fight with Jeffries will but add new laurels to the Negro's crown. Johnson should be careful of himself. He is an important asset to the race at this time. Every Negro is proud of Jack Johnson. Fight by Rounds. Round 1—Johnson opened with a left hook to the stomach. The men then mixed at close range. Johnson landed right and left short-arm punches to the jaw. Johnson smiled and brought right and left to the face. Kaufman looked a bit worried at this stage and sparred for fully half a minute. Johnson closed in, landing short-arm rights and lefts to the head. There was little sting in them, however. Just before the round ended Kaufman shot a right and left to the jaw, but the champion only smiled. Kaufman seemed very slow in comparison with Johnson. Round 2—Johnson wrestled Kaufman against the ropes and a moment later drove a straight left to the face. He followed this with a left to the body and then quickly brought the same member to the blacksmith's jaw. Kaufman had not been able to locate the black's anatomy. They closed in and Johnson rocked Kaufman's head with short-arm swings that carried no steam behind them. Johnson rushed Kaufman into the latter's corner, but inflicted no damage. Johnson had the better of a tame round. Johnson smiled and cracked jokes at the spectators. Round 3—They rushed, Johnson driving a wicked left to the jaw, which he followed with a hard clout to the stomach. Johnson uppercut twice with his right to the jaw and blood spurted from Kaufman's mouth. Johnson planted a hard right wallop on Al's bleeding face and forced the blacksmith to stall. Johnson taunted Kaufman good-natured and varied this with two fearful jolts to the jaw. The bell rang and Al tumbled into his chair with blood flowing in a stream from his mouth and nose. It appeared as though Johnson was Kaufman's master and could finish him at such time as he was ready to cut loose. Kaufman Lands One. Round 4—Kaufman, after some sparring, drove a hard right to the stomach. This angered the champion and he quickly beat the Californian against the ropes, planting right and left to the jaw. After some clinching Kaufman drove him right to the stomach and Johnson grinned and winked at his seconds. Both men eased up, Kaufman seldom leading. The round ended tamely and it looked as if Johnson deliberately slowed up. Up to this stage Kaufman failed to lead and had landed but two punches, both to the stomach Round 5—"Keep quiet over there," yelled Johnson at one of the newspaper photographers. The men fought to close quarters and Johnson uppercourt twice with his right, lifting Kaufman's head a foot. Johnson was quickness and nimbleness personified. The champion drove the right and left to the stomach and had Kaufman constantly on the defensive. Kaufman made two weak efforts to land. The fighters battled around the ring without any serious damage being inflicted. Round 6—Kaufman was short with a left lead and the men clinched. Johnson suddenly broke loose and sent the Calliforian almost into the press stand with a left hook to the body and a right cross to the jaw. "Mix it, Al," the crowd yelled, and Al did so. But he found Johnson waiting for him, and the latter showed him that he was master of the situation at any style of fighting that Kaufman could bring to him. The round closed with ineffectual exchanges, Johnson having everything his own way. Crowd Jeers Negro. Round 7—Kaufman tried with left for the jaw, but it was so easily blocked that the crowd was forced to yell derisively. Kaufman fought in close, but not a blow landed, the black man smothering every attempt. Kaufman planted right and left to the stomach. A long clinch followed, during which Johnson held back and cut loose alternately. The gong ended a featureless round. Round 8—Johnson opened up with a straight left to the jaw, and as the men closed in the black swung right and left with terrific force to the jaw and mouth. Kaufman backed away, seldom if ever leading, despite instructions to do so from his advisers. Johnson again started the blood from Kaufman's mouth, hard right and left arm swings doing the business. As Kaufman closed in Johnson uppercut twice to the jaw with his left, for which he was rebuked by a hard right hook to the stomach, about the best blow that Kaufman landed. Johnson kept up an incessant exchange of bad image with the crowd during the minute's respite. Round 9—Kaufman forced the smile from Johnson's face by clouting him in the stomach with a pile-driving right. For a moment the black man fought back a bit wild. He quickly regained his composure, however, and sent right and left with great force into the jaw. With the return of Johnson's smile he drove Kaufman against the ropes and landed twice with long-range lefts. The round ended with the crowd jeering Johnson, and some of the spectators started to leave the arena. Round 10—After considerable sparring Johnson hooked his right to the jaw. Kaufman came back and landed right and left to the face as they mixed it in the center of the ring. After Johnson, goaded on by those punches, had shot a stiff left to the body with lefts. He sent a hard right to the stomach and the men mixed it without damage. The crowd jeered. The round and fight ended with both men slugging ineffectively at each other.

I couldn't give you much of a fee back in St. Charles thirty-five years ago, but here's a little interest on the debt." Taking his famous roll of bills from his trousers pocket, Mr. Gates slipped off a $1,000 bill, pressed it into the surprised parson's hand and, with a "thank you again," was on his way.

WESTERN NEWS. William H. Wood, postmaster at Stanley, Ky., was arrested. He is said to be short several thousand dollars in his accounts with the government. The retail milliers are having a convention at Chicago and it seems to be the opinion that the tricorne or three-cornered hat, so popular a few years ago, will be most in favor this fall. It is becoming to mose faces, and the beauty of it is the bending may be so arranged as to suit the face. Alice Webb Duke, divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke, the tobacco magnate, was committed to the asylum for the insane at Kankakee, Ill. The once brilliant and wealthy bride of Mr. Duke appeared a complete mental and physical wreck and but ten minutes were required to impress the jury with the need of restraint of, and treatment for her. The W. C. T. U. has penetrated the inside pass in Alaska, and has planted its flag in many of the mining camps, as well as all of the cities. In one town it has reduced the number of licenses. In others it is working in cooperation with the churches to establish reading and amusement rooms, where men may gather for entertainment previously only supplied by the saloons. Because his dog was painted red, white and green, J. M. Eaton, assayer in the office of American Consul Lawton at Osaka, Mexico, was arrested in El Paso, Texas, and jailed, according to a dispatch, charged with disrespect to the Mexican flag. On San Ramon's day it is the custom to paint animals in varied colors. It is denied that the arrest was due to an anti-American feeling. Three Rio Grande passenger trains which have been delayed by washouts in eastern Utah arrived at Salt Lake. There were about 2,000 passengers on board and many stories of privation are heard. One traveler declares that he subsisted for fifty hours on peanuts and popcorn. Collections were taken up to feed the women and children who were without means, in the diner. Eight trains have been tied up at Green River station and the marines en route to the Pacific coast have been passing the time by playing a series of ball games. GENERAL NEWS. Mrs. R. H. Tucker of Spokane, Wash., is said to be the first woman wireless operator in the world.

British suffragettes will give three receptions as send-offs to Mrs. Pankhurst before she sails for the United States on October 12th. The immigration officers will probably not prevent her landing, although she has been under arrest in England for inciting to riot. Prince Kuni, grandson of the emperor of Japan, accompanied by Princess Kuni, will be present at the Hudson-Fulton celebration next month in New York as the representative of Japan. The Princess Kuni is a great beauty and a great social favorite in the Japanese capital. She dresses in the European style. The prince and princess of Belgium are among the most versatile of royalties. The princess, who was the duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria, is a fully qualified doctor of medicine and a playwriter.

To be brief, he is an old man at 18, growing feebler every day, as he has for some years past. Isaac Brock, who claimed to have seen twenty-six presidents elected, is dead at Waco, Texas, at an age said to be 121 years. According to Brock's family Bible and other documents, he was born in Bucombe county, North Carolina, March 1, 1788. Two negroes charged with having had a part in the killing of Policeman Walter Marshall at Clarksdale, Miss., were hanged by a mob shortly after their capture a few days ago. Society women of Evanston, Ill., are preparing a pageant to last three days on the campus of Northwestern University, in which will be shown historical characters that figured in the settlement of the middle west. Colonial costumes, prairie schooners, pioneer customs, Indian villages and other features will make the pageant interesting. The celebration of the birthday of Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands, was on a more extended scale this year because of the presence in the royal family of the Princes Juliana. The anniversary occurred August 31st, and her majesty was twenty-nine years of age. Especially the children made a great holiday of the event, seconded ably by their parents. The American Home Economic association says that there is a large field for dietitians in the hospitals, colleges and domitories of institutions. Cooks and caterers are not equal to the management of the kitchens of sanitoria and while trained nurses and good physicians are available it is hard to get trained dietitians. In this country the dietary is left largely in the hands of cooks, but it is evident that this should not be. The Turkish government has issued a circular to all the provincial authorities regarding the loyalty of Armenians in Turkey to the new government. This circular, it is said, seems to point out the laudable intention of the Turkish government to treat Moslem and non-Moslem alike. Further support seems to be given this view by the passage through parliament of the military service bill, which was greatly desired by the Christian population of the empire. Increasing industrial, agricultural and mining activity is indicated by advance sheets of the fortnightly statement of car surpluses and shortages compiled by President Hale, of the American Railway Association at Chicago. The statement will show that September 1st the surplus of cars of all kinds has been reduced more than 40,000, bringing the surplus down to a little more than 100,000 cars of all kinds. "It is important to note," said Mr. Hale, "that this seasons' reduction is six weeks ahead or last year's, indicating that shortages this year will be greater than a year ago." NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Rat clubs and other societies for systematic warfare on destructive rodents may leap into popular favor among housekeepers now that the government has officially sanctioned this method for extermination of the worst mammal pest in the United States. President Taft completely sustains the interior department in its handling of the Cunningham coal land cases in Alaska and exonerates Secretaray Ballinger, Land Commissioner Dennett and Chief Special Agent Schwartz of charges brought against them by Special Agent L. R. Glavis, the man who for eighteen months has been collecting evidence against the Cunningham entrymen. The body of Lieut. James T. Sutton, Jr., will be removed from Arlington cemetery Sept. 13. The witnesses for the disinterment will be Mrs. Sutton, her attorneys, Doctor George Tully Vaughn, who will perform an autopsy; Raymond Spear, of the navy, and whatever the officials representatives of the navy department are designated, and a priest who will officiate at the re-burial of Sutton's body in consecrated grounds. The Turkish government has invited blids for $30,800,000 bonds, bearing 4 per cent interest with 1 per cent for an amortization fund. The imperial Otoman embassy in Washington announced officially that on the strength of article 36 of the financial law for the current fiscal year, the imperial Ottoman ministry of finance has decided to contract a loan of 5,000,000 Turkish pounds (approximately $50,800,000); the rate of interest being 4 per cent and the rate of amortization 1 per cent. "It is not fair to doubt Dr. Cook's word in the absence of any evidence whatever against him." This statement was made by Capt. A. G. Winterhalter of the navy, chief of the hydrographic office, in Washington, in speaking of the doubt that had been expressed in some quarters as to whether Dr. Cook actually had reached the North pole. "Not one time in a hundred thousand," he said, "would Dr. Cook be able successfully to fake astronomical observations. I have had much experience in making observations and compilations from them, and I speak from my own knowledge in such matters. Fake observations from day to day could not possibly be continued for any length of time without detection, and why not wait until access is had to Dr. Cook's records and books? These, in my opinion, will clear up every question as to his actually having reached the pole. If they do not, it will then be quite time enough to cast aspersions upon him." A dispatch states that four constables, operating an automobile "speed trap," in Newbury, Mass., held up the presidential automobile for alleged speeding and detained President Taft for a few minutes. The President was driving from Beverly to Haverhill to see Associate Justice Moody. The constables did not recognize the occupants at first. President Taft expressed regret that his car had been traveling at a speed considered above the limit and he instructed his chauffeur to drive slower.

The biggest marble quarry in opera- tion in the world lies almost within a stone's throw of the heart of West Rutland, Vt. Around its mouth is a stock of 12,000 pieces of finished mar- ble. There is a great gap in the hill- side. The marble crops out as bare of soil or vegetation as a billiard ball. You can-walk over that hill and never step on anything but marble, and aft er two score years of blasting and drilling they don’t know how deep thedeposit lies. Itseems there’s enough marble in that one hill for an eternity. Saae Advice for Husbands. Rey. Father Bernard Vaughan, S.

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a per- son's, stomach is out of order and most foods cause trouble, Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested in foods. A Terre Haute woman writes: “I had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of ty- phoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. “I was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more, but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satis- fied, dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I am now strong and well. “My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very wealc and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was under the doctor's care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he be- gan to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts. It was positively surpris- ing to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he had none but words of praise for Grape- Nuts. “Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teach. er and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts.” “There's a Reason.” It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combine with albumen to make the gray mat- ter to daily refill the brain and nerve centers. It is a pity that people do not know what to feed their children, ‘There are many mothers who give their young- sters almoss any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without med- icine and expense. Eiver rend the above letter?

Ingredients printed on wrapper. The most interesting announce- ment cyer made in connection with the automobile industry was un- doubtedly that made a month or two ago to the effect that the new models of the White Steam Cars could be run on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of gasoline. Everyone at once recog- nized that the use of the new fuel would add materially to the advan- tages which the White already pos- sessed over other types of cars. There were some people, however, who were sceptical as to whether or not the new fuel could be used with complete success, and, therefore, the makers of the White Car, the White Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter- mined to make a public demonstra- tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild- den Tour. From the standpoint of the public, no test more satisfactory could have been selected. First of all, the dis- tance covered on the Glidden Tour, from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses, if such had existed. Still more important was “the fact that the car was at ail times “while on the road under the supervi sion of observers. named by those who entered other contesting cars. Therefore, it would have been impos sible for the driver of the White to have even tightened a bolt without the fact being noted and a penalty in- flicted. At night the cars were guarded by Pinkerton detectives and could not be approached by any one SPOILED. ¢ (0) = fe Rs a Biggs—Waiter, this steak is too tough to cut. Take it back.

Phere’s one good thing about hus bands, anyway,” says Mrs. Pestus, and that's that most of them belong to somebody else.” The complete success of the new fuel while on the 2650-mile public test and the advantages gained through its use were well described in the following dispatch which the correspondent of the New York Sun sent to his paper at the conclusion of the tour: “A feature of the tour which was watched with special interest was that the White Stearher used kero- sene, or ‘coal oil,’ as fuel instead of gasoline. The new fuel worked splendidly throughout the 2650-mile journey, and all claims made in its behalf were fully proven. First of all, as regards cheapness, the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap- er per gallon than was paid for gaso- line. Secondly, the new fuel was handled without any precautions, and it was not unusual to see kerosene being poured into the fuel tank while the crew of the car and an interested crowd stood by with lighted cigars and cigarettes: At the finish of the tour, the White was the only car per- mitted by the authorities to enter Convention Hall, where the technical examination took place, without draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the new fuel proved to be absolutely without smoke or smell. Fourthly, kerosene could be purchased at what ever part of the route was most con- venient, and not once during the trip through the ten States of the Middle West was there found a grocery store where kerosene was not readily and ‘ieaply,, obiainabie:.- Binaliv, the Not Ambiguous at All.

The only adjustments or re- pairs charged against the car during the long trip were tightening a lubri- cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud guard. ‘These penalties were not in- flicted until more than 2000 miles had been completed with an absolute- ly perfect score.” A particularly interesting feature of the new White Steamer is that either kerosene or gasoline may be used as fuel. The necessary adjust- ‘ments so that the fuel may be changed from kerosene to gasoline, or vice versa, may be made in a couple of minutes; but so completely successful has kerosene proved to be, that it is not believed that any purchasers will eare to use gasoline. The White Company report that the demand for theirnew steam cars —both the $2000-model and the $4000-model—exceed their most san- guine expectations. It is evident that the combination of steam—the pow- er which everyone understands and has confidence in—with kerosene— the fuel which everyone has on hand and can handle without any danger —is thoroughly appreciated by up-to-date purchasers of automo- piles. nl ee eee SICK HEADACHE CARTERS) tiesctitae ein.” Ae ee IVER |iitne A povret co eee eee Na SMALL PILL.

If they had not demonstrated their superiority in discovering ideals of beauty in other directions we would have to concede that they were first in the art of the coiffure. Three modern examples built upon classic models are shown in this article from an artist who has no superior. They are at once exquisitely beautiful and simple and have rightly been named the "Daphne," the "Diana," and the "Psyche" coiffures. There is nothing intricate or impossible to the amateur in their construction, and a little study reveals that they are suited to heads of various contours, designed to improve their outlines where they are not perfectly regular. When the wearer has an abundant supply of hair the "Daphne" and the the "Psyche" might be arranged without the addition of any false hair. It would be difficult to arrange the stately "Diana" without a braid of even width its entire length and heavy enough. A small thin braid would not produce the right effect and few women have hair enough to use so much for the braid and have enough besides to form the knot of curls at the back. These coiffures are all arranged with a piece placed under the natural hair about the face and a cluster of short curls pinned on at the back. It is much more convenient to arrange the hair with these, even if one has sufficient hair to do without them. This front piece is called a "puffy fluffer," and is somewhat like the longer pompador supports which have formerly been used. It is of naturally curly hair and can be combed and arranged like one's own hair. It does not come out of curl. It is made in several widths, depending upon the amount of extra hair needed in making the coifure. The curls also are made up on supports and in several sizes to be pinned to the coil at the back. If carefully selected to match the natural hair exactly, these pieces give the most satisfactory solution to the problem of dressing one's own hair each day. To arrange the "Daphne," the front hair should be parted off and waved (by rolling it on rollers over night or with the curling iron) in large, loose undulations. When it is curled, comb it forward and pin it out of the way until the remainder of the hair is combed back and tied at the back of the head. After tying arm arrange the back hair in a rather firm soil to support the coiffure. The "Daphne" requires the widest of the puffy fuffers. This is pinned about Ou Blouse of batiste made with fine plaits and covered with a large square collar, which is trimmed with hand embroidery and cluny lace. The sleeves are trimmed to correspond and are finished with deep tucked cuffs. the head with several small invisible hair pins as one pins the foundation for a pompadour. After adjusting this support comb this hair in with the front hand and bring all back to the knot which has been previously arranged. Pin the ends in very loosely until the front arrangement has been completed, so that the hair may be pulled forward easily, if necessary, when adjusting the bands. The "Daphne" requires three bands. They may be of jet, shell, metal, ribbon, beads, in fact, a great variety of these pretty ornaments are shown at present. Place the first band properly and arrange the hair about the face becoming. That is, pull it more or less forward, and make it more or less fluffy to suit the face. Then place the second band. Take the comb and pull the hair into a puff between the two bands, then place the third band and arrange the second puff. If the bands are fastened together they may be adjusted and the hair pulled into the even puffs required afterward. The short full curls are next pinned to place about the knot of natural hair. Pin a few of them down to form puffs and use invisible pins for these and also to keep the remaining ones in the proper position. The "Psyche" shows a parted coiffure arranged with a smaller puffy fluffer at the front and a full cluster of Psyche curls at the back. Arrange the natural hair and pin in the front piece as for the "Daphne." In combing the front hair back part the natural hair in front at the forehead and pin a little of it over the almost invisible foundation of the puffy fluffer. Pin the hair securely about the knot at the back and lastly pin on the cluster of curls. They are very easy to adjust as they are made fastened to a foundation. These dancing curls make this a very youthful and fascinating coiffure. The beret or long band, in Greek key design, and the little triangular headpiece may be had in rhinestones or in other designs. A beret of some sort is an essential part of this coiffure. The little headpiece may be omitted, but on a well-shaped head it adds a superb finishing touch. It is shown in pearls and in jets also. The quietest and stateliest of these beautiful coiffures is the "Diana." If one has a plentiful supply of natural hair the front will not need the foundation, otherwise the hair should be arranged as described for either of the two preceding styles. Instead of ornaments, however, a "Diana" braid with curled ends is pinned about the head, the curls pinned in at the knot in the back. The "Diana" and the "Daphne" styles are most suitable for those whose heads are less shapely than that pictured in the "Psyche." Coiffures from E. Burnham, Chicago. Gray and Brown Shades Are Used for These Women's Dainty Accessories. Gray and brown are mysterious colors to have a foothold in the handkerchief field, but they've done it. These shades were first shown in the larger sizes for men, but soon were caught up by the makers of women's dainty accessories, who fastened them on to the prettiest qualities among women's kerchiefs. A plain gray ground is shown on some of the all-over handkerchiefs; brown and gray squares are curiously placed on others. A narrow border of brown hemstitching or an edge of tiny handmade scallops done in soft cotton is again the attractive method of introducing the color. Bridal Showers. Could anything be more appropriate than a rose shower recently tendered a bride-elect? She is fond of flowers, a fact well known to her numerous friends, and she will live in a house surrounded with spacious grounds and can have her own flowers, something known by the numerous friends who, instead of "showering" her with the usual bric-a-brac, came with potted roses, each crock decorated with green tissue paper, tied with green satin ribbons. Finish for Child's Frock. A pretty finish for a child's pique frock is to scallop the opening down the front, from neck to hem, with buttonholing.
