THE MOFFAT LETTER VOL. XVI. INCREASE W NEW CLAIMS PRE-EMPTED ING CITY PROPERTY. MEAN INCREASED OPP THE SAVING HABIT. INCREASING WEALTH. Reports coming from various sources tell an interesting story of the increasing wealth of the Western Negro. Last week five land entries added eighteen hundred acres to the holdings of Negro farmers in Colorado. We are informed that several more entries will be announced during the coming month: This work is arousing an interest among our people in securing some of the cheap lands seems to be in the hands of the right parties. The work is being done by those of our people who have secured farm lands in Colorado either by entry or purchases. These are the very ones to tell the story of their remarkable success to believing friends, who will profit thereby. Colorado has made a phenominal record as an agricultural state this year. Every crop has borne bounteously. The special fruit, potato, sugar beet and canteloupe district have produced in greater abundance than ever. Capitalists and men of business are putting "millions more" into irrigation projects and in schemes to reclaim the arid and waste places. Along with the farms, the towns and cities of the state have grown. And many new homes have been added already to those previously held by our people. But the purchase of city property does not go so far toward the solving of the race problem as the farm. What the race needs, is increased opportunity for work for Negro men and boys. The farm supplies this need. Remaining in the cities the privileges and opportunities for labor are circumscribed. Here in Denver the chances for the women of our race far excel those of our men. Any colored woman desiring to go out in private family in Denver can easily demand and receive from $25 to $40 per month, including board and room. If she prefers to remain at home and go out by the day she receives $2 per day and 25 cents per hour for overtime. These wages are not only for the summer or winter season, but they prevail all the year around. The colored man must either carry the hod, run on the road or catch odd jobs as he can, with the chances of enforced vacations one-half the year. On the other hand the farm- --- er must have help all or a part of the year. Increasing the number of farms owned and operated by Negroes, multiplies the opportunities for labor for the men of our race. Then, too, the same amount of money that buys a home in the city will buy a good sized farm or ranch. A home in the city without accumulated wealth still leaves you the servant of the other fellow, a producing farm makes you at once a captain of industry. Get a farm. THE SAVING HABIT. Speaking of accumulated wealth and the habit of saving, the Negro is the limit. The prodigal son who chased himself into a far country and spent all his money in riotous living is hardly to be compared in wastefulness with our people. We make lots of money. In a measure we make more than any other of the unskilled laboring classes. But we do not get the saving habit. Our men and women will work hard all the week and spend 75 per cent. of their earnings on a Sunday dinner or having a good time. It no longer creates comment to see a ten-dollar-a-week young man turn out with a big sparkler doing its level best to still the cries of a loud neck-scarf, or to see the female employee of the Capitol hill family float down the on Sunday morning clothed in a aise on Sunday morning clothed in a Parisian gown that cost a cool hundred. But these are my people and the gew-gaws of life still dazzle them as did the glass beads and red calico our ancestors in the wilds of savage Africa. We have got to get the habit. We have got to get the saving habit. We have got to learn that fine clothes make neither the man or woman, that real worth and a few dollars in the bank will go farther to giving one a standing in the community than several trunks full of fine clothes. A scheme is being adopted in many of the larger cities of the East relative to school savings. Banks for the purpose of teaching the young children habits of saving. The proposition is now being considered in Denver. It is a grand idea, and the Colorado Statesman hopes that the Board of Education will favorably consider it. Our young people need to be taught lessons in thrift and in frugality as well as Greek and Latin. The Kansas City children DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, last year deposited over $20,000 in their school savings bank These were pennies and nickels picked up by the children or given by parents for spending money. The habit of saving creates self-reliance. And this develops honest, energetic and thrifty citizens. By all means have our children brought up to habits of saving. THE MOFFAT LETTER: UNTIL THE PRESENT THIS PAPER HAS HAD VERY LITTLE TO SAY ABOUT THE TROUBLESOME WATER QUESTION. LAST WEEK WE PUBLISHED PRESIDENT MOFFAT'S LETTER RELATIVE TO THE ORIGINAL COST OF CONSTRUCTING THE WATER PLANT. WE CANNOT BUT EXPRESS OUR ADMIRATION FOR THE PLAIN, FRANK STATEMENT OF MR. MOFFAT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DISPOSITION AMONG SOME OF THE OPPONENTS TO THE WATER PURCHASE TO PERSONALLY QUESTION THE HONESTY OF MR. MOFFAT. THE PRESIDENT OF THE WATER COMPANY IS A COLORADO PIONEER. HE CAME TO THIS STATE WHEN MANY OF HIS DETRACTORS WERE IN SWADLING CLOTHES, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ACTIVELY INTERESTED IN THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CITY. THE WATER QUESTION SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON ITS MERITS. GIRL'S DREAM CAUSED ARREST Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 24.—Jesse Carter, a Negro, charged with entering a house and carrying off a thirteen-year-old white girl, was acquitted in criminal courts. Carter's attorneys proved that the alleged attack on Retta Lacey, daughter of Thomas Lacey, was made only in a vision. The child dreamed a Negro came into her room while her father was at work. She dreamed that the Negro grabbed her by the throat and gagged her, the stealthily carried her out and dropped her by the roadside when a dog attacked him and raised an alarm. Her father, returning home at the time, found the child, but could find no gag. The girl told him Carter had taken her from the house and Carter was arrested. A mob gathered in the little town of Impearial and attempted to lynch him, but the police with drawn revolvers, saved his life. Carter's attorneys proved to the satisfaction of the court that little Retta Lacey has for some time been the victim of somnambulism and that while in such a state her dreams are so realistic that she believes them to be true, even after she was awakened. If she dreams she suffers, she is exhausted from pain in her waking moments. Carter proved that he was in his boarding house at the time he was accused of having attempted to assault the girl and he was forth with acquitted. The case is one of the most remarkable that has come to the attention of Judge John C. Haymaker—Enquirer Sun, Columbus, Ga. JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 27. Rev. Reynold E. Blight, minister of The Fellowship Church, made a strong address at Blanchard Hall, this city, on "Justice to the Negro," in which he scored the Dugrro decision, and declared that the success of the United States depends on the development of sympathy and co-operation between the races. The address in part: "Mushy sentimentality and quixotism will never solve the race problem. It is not a matter of intermarriage or social equality. It is a question of justice. We shall have riots, lynchings, turmoil and conflict just so long as we refuse the Negro his rights. "The Negro has a right to be treated as a man, not as a beast, an alien, or a child. The rights guaranteed by the constitution as inherent in citizenship are properly his. The first step toward freedom is the recognition of manhood. Say what you will against the Negro, a race that can produce such characters as Touissaint L'Overture, Frederick Douglas, Prof. DuBois and Booker T. Washington is worthy of the largest consideration from the proudest race on earth. "Justice demands that the Negro shalt not be discriminated against because of color. The test may be character, intellect, efficiency, but the right-thinking man is never prejudiced against color. He must be given the advantages of education that his mind may be enlightened, his brain developed and his hand made skilful. He must be equipped for the battle of life, and he is well within his rights when he demands a chance to work, and make good. Before the law he must stand on an equal footing with the white man, and may the time soon come when a decision such as was recently handed down by a New York judge giving a Negro smaller damages than he would have accorded a white man, shall be condemned and execrated, as unfair, illegal and un-American. "Justice demands that the Negro's political privilege shall not be abridged. If the franconise must be limited, let it be on educational or property grounds, and apply to black and white alike, but disfranchisement for reason of color is repugnant to the spirit of American institutions. Democracy drawing the color line is a farce and a humbug."—N. Y, Age. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES John Mitchell, Jr. President of the Mechanics' Saving Bank, Richmond, Va. by the authority of the Board of Directors sold the building at 4 West Broad street, at an advance of $11,500 more than the institution paid for it a few years ago and the sum of $25,000 was paid cash. No white man can become a member of the Mosaic Templars, the famous order founded by J. E. Bush, of Arkansas and pushed up to a registration of 65,000 Negroes through the activity of Founder Bush, the present Grand Master, William M. Alexander and his predecessor, the late Capt. C. Keatts. This race discrimination business is a game that can be worked from both ends. The case of A. G. Thornton, a rich white man of Fayettville, N.C., who during reconstruction days (1866) married Miss Elsie Hargrove, an Afro-American, is perhaps the only instance on record in the state of such a marriage, which was granted by military authority. Their marriage was further sanctioned by the constitutional convention two years later. Mr. Thornton died at Fayetteville Sept. 18 in the eighty-fifth year of his age. The deceased leaves a widow and five children. Mr. C. M. English, of Charleston, is a man of whom the entire race should be proud. Mr. English owns and conducts a first-class livery stable and undertaking establishment. Besides these, he is the possessor of considerable real estate and he has the contract for transporting the U. S. mail, thus giving employment to a number of the members of his race. With all this he is not "puffed up," like some of our big men, but he delights in rendering assistance to those less fortunate than he. Mr. English and the madam reside in a beautiful home oh Church street where friends are always welcome. —Recorder (Orangeburg, S. C.) The untimely death of J. Mc Henry Jones, West Virginia's educational and political leader, brings sorrow to every friend of Negro advancement in the country. As principal of the progressive school at Institute, W. Va., as Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F., as an author, editorial writer Christian gentleman and personal friend, he was faithful, earnest NO.4 and true. His ideals were lofty, and he lived up to them. He was indeed a "Heart of God." His bereaved family, the citizens of his State, and the fraternity over which he so capably presided, all have the sincere sympathy of the race everywhere over the loss of this splendid man. Following closely upon the great excitement caused by the discovery of a new disease that threatened our Southland, the dreaded pellagra, comes the startling announcement that the shiftless whites and blacks in the South are not really lazy, but that they are suffering with attacks of a nudorous hookworm. In McClure's magazine for October the ravages of there life-saping little creatures are fully explained, and it would be well to secure the magazine and read the article. Known all over the world as "Gold Annie," Mrs. Annie Stout, for twenty-seven years an attendant at the University of Pennsylvania Dental School, died at an advance age last Sunday at the Home for Aged Colored Persons. No one knew how old she was, though she was known to be well past 80. Her duties at the University were to oversee the distribution among the students of the gold used in their dental work, and she was noted for her care in this trust. She was so well known by generations of the students as a character of the place that her nickname, "Gold Annie," was carried by the foreign alumni of the school to all parts of the world. Burlington, Vt., September 29. That the members of the Tenth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, and the citizens of Burlington are on very friendly terms was evidenced by the courtesy shown the Negro soldiers on Policemen's and Firemen's Day. The band and troops of the Tenth Cavalry had the most prominent place in the parade, and they were the guests of honor during the day. They were warmly applauded and the good feeling that exists between the Burlington people and the troopers was shown in many ways. During the parade a high spirited cavalry horse which had been left in charge of the company's guiden became frightened by the falling of a flag and started down the street at full speed, dragging the flag with him. Midst the hearty applause of all, one of the troopers seized the horse and stopped him within a few yards of the starting place.

The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. ‘This time we followed the diree- tions and boiled it fifteen minutes ait. er the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour.

METHOD OF “SETTING” COLORS IN WASH GOops. Ounce of Sugar of Lead Dissolved In Pailful of Water Recommended —Dainty Idea That Comes from Germany. “Setting” Colors in Wash Goods.— Alum in the rinsing water will keep green from fading. Linen suits and shirtwaists should be washed in hay water (made by pouring boiling water over hay), and they will keep their color for a long time. One ounce of sugar of lead dissolved in a pailful of water will set almost any color, and is especially good for blue prints. Soak the goods for two or three hours and let dry in the shade before washing with soap and water. Do not try to boil the tinted or figured goods, and do not use washing soda or strong soaps when washing them. If they are much soiled a handful of salt thrown into the water will set the colors. Use warm or nearly cold water in which to. soak these things. It is much bet- ter than hot water, and the dirt loos- ens quite as readily. Use ox-gall for setting the color in gray or brown goods, and vinegar in place of salt to set colors in black, purple and’ hell- otrope. ‘The Haustrau Useful—An idea hatl- ing from Germany is one which the dainty housekeeper will welcome. It is an idea for the beautifying of the bathroom, and one which housekeep- ers may find of interest, called the Berlin hausfrau. This is a piece of linen, shaped like a large towel, which is thrown over the used and unused towels on a rack. A smaller pfece of linen to match it is made to cover the wash rags. These linens vary, of course, as to decoration, some of them being very ornate and having a border design which is duplicated in all the nen used in the room such as the stand cover, or, if the bath be con- nected with a bedroom, in the dresser covers, bed spreads, inner curtains for the wardrobes, and so on. Some of these designs are worked in sam- pler fashion, in cross stitch, and those in poster effects are especially telling. Sprinkling Clothes—It for any rea- son you have not sprinkled your clothes the night before you wish to fron them, try sprinkling them with boiling hot water. Use a clean whisk broom, as it sprinkles them much fin- er and eyener than by dipping the wa- ter in your hand. As soon as your clothes are sprinkled, and tightly rolled up, put on your irons to heat. By the time they are hot your clothes will be ready to fron as nicely as if they had lain over night. Always iron the linens last, as they require more dampness. ‘Trifles from Tissue Paper—Women who are deft with their hands can make all manner of trifles for the house out of tissue paper. Among the serviceable articles thus made are ta. ble mats, to slip under hot dishes. They are composed of strips of tissue paper braided, like the old-fashioned braided mats, A piece of cardboard |s the foundation. Glove and handker- chief cases, sachets and many other things for the dressing table are made of flowered tissue paper, and are yery pretty.

LACK OF COLLIERS AND TRANS- PORTS NOT SO SERIOUS AS LANDIS ASSERTS. Washington.—Defending, with char- acteristic vigor, the American navy, Admiral Dewey asserted ‘Thursday that not only is our navy not a “bluff,” but that he is confident that it would give a good account of itself should war ever come, ‘The admiral’s remarks were called ferth by a statement attributed to for- mer Representative Landis of Indiana, who, in a recent speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, advocating ship subsidies, ts quoted as saying “that those Ameri- ans who are informed consider our navy a ‘bluff.’ Declaring that he saw no war clouds gathering on the horizon, Admiral Dewey discussed several phases of the navy. He expressed himself as heart- ily in favor of ship subsidy legislation, and made a strong plea for the con- tinued upbuilding of the navy. Referring to the remark attributed to Landis, Admiral Dewey said: “Of course, what Landis meant was that the navy would be comparatively use- less in time of war without necessary ‘auxiliaries draw drom the merchant marine. “He,” continued Admiral Dewey, “wants a subsidy for our ships of com- merce, and so do I.” The admiral expressed the belief that ship subsidy legislation could be secured were it not for the use of the word “subsidy,” which, he said, many people did not like because they thought that it meant something for nothing. “But the American navy is not quite so helpless as one might imagine from Landis’ remarks,” said the admiral. “We have fifteen colliers and several transports already in the service. Of course, these would not be enough in time of war, and I hope that we will continue to add to that number. If we were to have a war we could purchase as many ships as we might need. We did so in the Spanish war. It would, of course, be a great deal better if we had them already.” ‘The admiral declared that the United States needed a merchant marine, not only for the value it might possess as turpiahing auxiliaries to the navy, but to éirry the American flag to the mar kets of the world. | “But,” he said, “there will be no war, And so long as we go ahead steadily and moderately in adding to our navy, replacing the older ships with the most modern type, thus keep- ing our navy abreast of the wor'd, no one will ever be able to say, like Landis, that other nations do not re gard the American navy serious'y.” She only exclusive wholesale and retail Grockery House in Denver me Prices always right.

If everybody is happy, all is well, and the state at large seems to be full of enthusiasm. It is good to have a president with us once in a while; it makes us better realize that we are a small but important part of a mighty big country. Of course, there will be the afterpart of political and social disappointment, but that will not make anybody forget that the event was a big one. The colored brother was more prominent at the North Pole siesta than at any of the presidential functions, but what's the use of kicking? There was no barbecue, no 'possum dinner, no camp-meeting; and when these things are wanting, what chance have we with the President of the United States? People must make themselves prominent in small things before they can be recognized in times that are great. EMANCIPATION DAY. SEPTEMBER 22 was the forty-seventh anniversary of the day on which Abraham Lincoln, as President of the United States, issued his famous emancipation proclamation declaring all persons held in bondage in any state then in secession against the government of the United States which should not have returned to the Union before January 1, 1863, to be forever free. This immortal document, which was the beginning of the formal acts leading up to the final and complete abolition of slavery in the United States, is none the less respected and revered because there is little outward recognition of its recurring anniversaries, but it shares that peculiar condition which induces the descendants of former bondmen to pass silently over the crowding historical incidents connected with their transformation from a state of ignominious servility to one of exalted citizenship, clothed with legal rights and social opportunities. There was once, and there may be yet, a lingering disposition to chide this sensitive generation for its apparent neglect or lack of appreciation of events whose importance would seem to make them almost hallowed, but that disposition, too, is vanishing. And yet that act of the martyred President is a living force in the heart of every Negro citizen. Its effect has not yet reached its culmination. Some later generation, when the status of the emancipated people shall have been cleared of all discriminating differences and embarrassing influences, will restore to it that recognition which is its due, and which is ripening slowly in its years of repose. Probably there is no historical precedent for these conditions. The Jews instituted a solemn religious festival to commemorate their deliverance from Egyptian bondage, and it endures with their race and their religion. Nothing is more important with them than the celebration of the Feast of the Passover. But the Jews did not continue to live with the people from whom they were delivered. They were capable of their own government. But, stripped of ancient awe, the guiding hand of Providence is not more evident in the care and development of the Hebrew people than in the course by which the Negro is being brought up to the heights of liberty and light. THE SIN OF SELFISHNESS INDIVIDUAL ACTION is at the bottom of all human achievement, but if each individual retained to himself all that he gained there would not be much to consider in the aggregate of human accomplishment. Society itself is a voluntary aggregation of individuals for the purposes of mutual help and mutual benefit. The natural law impels animals as well as men to get together for these purposes. Human beings improve their conditions by carrying out the idea of mutual obligation and dependence, and there is no other way to win and maintain permanent improvement. But there are those who forget these fundamental rules, and who, after employing the means that have been provided them only through prior combinations of effort, seek to reserve the entire benefits of their accomplishments for their own uses, without sharing with others the things that others have enabled them to gain. To a certain extent a man is entitled to the fruits of his own original exertions or adapted accomplishments, but there is always an equitable point where he should begin sharing with his fellows. Mutual progress as well as individual welfare demand that this point should not be overstepped. Some persons are so unwilling that others shall enjoy the benefits and privileges which they themselves enjoy, that they employ all their energies in the effort to destroy their rivals or competitors, the same as animals whose natures make selfishness and greed their highest motives. Some persons who, by a fortunate combination of circumstances arising out of aggregate effort or influence, find themselves rising to positions of social elevation or political or commercial power, immediately start in to sacrifice or cut away from those who have formerly been their support and their stay. All individuals and all races are affected by the same natural rules. Some may know more than others, but they cannot get far above the average standard of those with whom they are identified in the measurement of their general worth. Their effort to do so is doomed to disgrace and failure. Whether in an individual or in a whole race selfishness is greed, and greed is purely an animal instinct whose natural qualities invite warfare and destruction. By G. WELLESLEY BRABBIT URING a recent housing investigation in one of the eastern cities several facts were brought to light that never can be shown by figures and tables. The most striking fact discovered was the disgraceful condition of the plumbing and sanitary arrangements of the streets and houses, surface drainage being not at all unusual, even in the districts bordering on business and fine residence sections. The effect of damp and reeking houses on the health, temper and morals of the inmates can never be over-emphasized. D One small block was found where at one end was surface drainage, it being on a lower level than the surrounding ground. Three women here had spent at least three months of the year in hospitals and were so crippled by rheumatism as to be completely incapacitated for work. The rest of the block was dry and the people were comparatively healthy. In this same district the financial depression has been severely felt, as all the men work for the same concern, which employs 19,000 men during normal years, but which has kept but 4,000 during the last year. With the 15,000 men out of work, all living in close proximity to one another, the inevitable result is continual unrest, despair and the accompanying quarrels, ill feelings and tempers. But it was most noticeable that the families living in the healthful, wholesome houses were making a brave effort to weather the storm in cheerfulness and decency. In one block containing 46 families three men had committed suicide within one month. These men lived in the three worst houses, where water flooded the cellars and the walls were moldy from dampness. Another block in the same district is so damp that no paper will cling to the walls and the plaster falls without warning, to the destruction of house, limbs and peace. The inhabitants here are in a constant state of riot and the constable is their most frequent visitor, even the little children being quarrelsome. The staple article of diet here is some intoxicant. A. H. Just one block away members of these same families—brothers, sisters and daughters—live in peace and quiet in a block having good drainage and fair plumbing. It certainly would seem that moldy wall paper and moldy morals go hand in hand, and that an undermined house foundation sooner or later results in an undermined home foundation. How the Armadillo Happened to Come Here By COL. W. W. PUTNAM I don't suppose that there are many of them left, but in the old days, when I lived in western Texas, the armadillo was one of the commonest animals of the plains. Civilization, no doubt, has caused his disappearance, just as it has extinguished many a species that used to be like the sands of the seashore. The armadillo is a funny-looking little creature that looks for all the world like an opossum with a shell on his back. How did he come by that shell, which is also a shield or piece of protective armor? In the prettiest way imaginable. According to the old Mexican legend the armadillo was sent in direct answer to the prayers of the devout people who long ago resided in a part of Mexico which was badly infested with venomous snakes. The inhabitants so beseeched the Almighty for relief that suddenly all the serpents seemed to have vanished from the earth. In going about the region once so badly plagued the natives could find no more possums, but instead an animal that seemed to be one except that on his back was a shell. This was his armor, which brought immunity from the bite of a snake and thenceforth the armadillo began to make unrelenting warfare on all poisonous reptiles. He is still true to his reputation and wherever found is on the job of snake-killing, as he was centuries ago in Old Mexico. Not long ago I was traveling in the southwest and was greatly attracted by Edwards county, in that wild and remote region of western Texas, not far from the Mexican border. Where The Cow Man Is King By PROF. J. L. MONROE It is a singularly beautiful table land, 2,000 feet above sea level and very sparsely inhabited. The rich prairie lands are still the open pastures of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep, for the man with the hoe has hardly begun to invade that section. I was at a ranch where I saw 7,000 goats in one flock, and it was a very pretty sight. The climate is delightful, for while the sun beats down with a fierce heat during the summer months the air is so dry that there is little suffering and the nights are always cool. The county seat, a small place named Rock Springs, is 80 miles from any railroad, and the stage brings in Uncle Sam's mail to a couple of hundred stalwart cow men who live in true frontier style. Lands are still very cheap—$2 to $5 an acre—but they are too fertile and productive to stay at that figure long. I was much impressed, writes Maud Howe, in Harper's Bazar, by what the head of a large and prosperous bourgeois French family said to an American friend: "During the day we are all busy with our various avocations. The evenings are devoted to more serious things—reading, music, conversation, society." This is surely the normal point of view of a civilized man living in a civilized society. Normal Point of Civilized Society By MAUDE HOWE By MAUDE HOWE In Italy, where social life, as in France, is taken somewhat more seriously than with us, it is usual for the women prominent in society to receive in the evening. One evening a week (sometimes two, in a few cases every evening) is set apart for receiving the friends and habitues of the house. In Rome, where society is more crystallized, where the social game is better played than in any community I know, one or two of the great houses are open to visitors on every evening of the week.

Playing Before the King Exclusively. A "command" to play before the king is always appreciated by actors, but the honor of taking a company to Windsor or Sandringham is an expensive one, says the Dundee Advertiser. First-class railway tickets are provided by his majesty's secretary, but everything else has to be paid by the manager. These expenses include special scenery to suit the improvised stage, the carriage of properties and dresses and the cab fares for the members of the company, who always arrive in London at an unearthly hour, when "growlers" are few and far between. Sir John Hare's recent appearance before the king cost him about $4,000. Stop Distribution of Dodgers. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have forwarded to congress a bill prohibiting the distribution of circulars and like advertising matter on private property within the district. The object of the proposed law is to prohibit littering of vestibules, yards and other property within the building line with circulars, handbills, etc., which the commissioners say is now a source of annoyance to residents. The practice is prohibited on the public streets by a police regulation, but the commissioners have no power to extend the scope of the regulation to private property. = AW Papen dasaneac amc aman peer ne sen renames.)

Class No. 3 took the banner last Wednesday evening, having raised the highest amount of class dues. Mrs. W. A. Bobo is the ieader. It is thought that the classes might be worked up to the interest to pay the pastor's salary from the class dues and let the Sunday collections go for other necessities of the church. Good. Let this thought be carried into execution. ‘The Ladies’ Aid Society was enter- tained by the pastor and his wife last Thursday. ‘The ladies have pledged themselves to raise enough money to put in some beautiful new chandliers. The fair, which will be given ‘Thanks- giving Day, will go for this effort. Plans have been perfected for the December rally. The clubs have been reorganized and there appear a very few changes.

Their host was Charles F. Cox, a prominent railroad man and an active member of the New York Academy of Science.

Peary controversy has: come to a close. GOING BACK INTO THE PAST. Some Men Will Smile, and Some Frown, But Their Recollections Are Much the Same. They do say that one of the things a fellow remembers is the first time he ever went courting a girl. And it is one of the last things he wants to forget, even if she turned him down later on. It is not the trial now that It was back in the good old days. In the country districts, folks lived in houses of one or two rooms, or three at most, so that when a fellow went sparking he had to face the whole family, and you may depend upon it that the whole family faced him, Sometimes they didn’t try to make Ife pleasant for him. ‘This was specially true of the girl's younger brothers and sis- ters. Do you remember how big your feet felt, and the trouble you had to find places for your hands, and how dif- ficult it was to keep up a conversa- tion? But if you had grit enough you would stay or die right there. But you never forgot {t, and you neyer will. Nor will you ever quite forget the effort necessary to get your courage up to the point of asking her if you might cali on her, nor how glad some you were if she sald you might, nor how mean you felt if she refused your request. 3s a frost this beat the June affair of '59. ————— | fg SEER ONC f [ f Al Se. ) | oO S AS) See | ZeavER.

SRS an Sts Tailor | STORIES BY TWO OF UNCLE SAM'S ASSISTANTS. Assistant Secretary Adee Finds Char- lemagne Has 9,000,000 Descendants —Treasury Official Is Booming New Custom-House Model. Washington.—Second Assistant Sec- retary of State Adee, who is as irre- movable from his Job as Secretary Px of Agricuiture , Wilson, gets as [are much fun out of errr, | life as anybody. ffimittgnmr} | There never has CED been a man in the YMIAARARARALL state department JEMIMA, | who knew 50 1st] much off-hand (nee about titles, pre- Sy. cedents and all SBR SARE) the little angular- iis an 4 ey four oes MEAP cn aA AR gs Peigeers | gliiapee ities that go to make a study of reigning houses prac- tical, romantic and interesting as Secretary Adee, However, he makes his routine life worth the living by ‘seeing the funny side of everything and taking an optimistic view of that which lacks in humor, Recently the secretary was discuss- ing with a friend the claims of a cer- tain prince of Africa to recognition. “I have no doubt this man is descend- ed from King Solomon and the queen of Sheba,” said the secretary. _ “Tt is entirely possible. I remember once a caller told President Garfield that he was descended from Char- lemange. ‘Let's see,’ said the presi- dent, ‘Charlemagne has been dead ‘about one thousand years. Allowing 30 years to a generation, which is generous, that would mean oyer 30 generations, and calculating at the usual rate of increase in families I should say there ought to be about 9,000,000 people in the world by this time who have the blood of Charle: ‘magne in their veins. It’s hishly “probable you are quite right,’ conclud: ed the president. “That reminds me,” continued Mr. Adee, “we have quite a number of ‘descendants from passengers of the ‘old Mayflower by this time. 1 should “say, figuring it out as President Gar- | field did, there must be about 1,000,- 000 scattered all the way from Florida ‘to Alaska and from Maine to Call- ‘fornia, One day Secretary John Hay was talking to a friend and the friend asked him if he was descended from any one who came over on that fa- mous ship. ‘I don't know,’ responded Mr. Hay, ‘but I will haye an expert look it up.” An expert was called in and the next day reported back that Secretary Hay was duly descended, on his maternal side, from a May. flower pioneer.” On a par with Secretary Adee in optimism stands Assistant Secrétary of the Treasury James B, Reynolds, a former newspaper official and an administrator of the customs service par excellence. Secretary - Reynolds was entertaining some callers recent ly when one of them happened to in quire about a plaster model of a 17- story building which stood on the mantelpiece in the secretary's office. Promptly leaving his desk Secretary | Reynolds took a position alongside the cast, and, placing his thumb and index finger on the pinnacle of the tower, he began: “This, ladies and gentle, is the new Boston customs house. You know in New England they never tear down anything they ever build up. Conse. quently, Boston haying outgrown Its present building, we have been sorely beset to increase its size, But how?” With a twist of the wrist and a slight jerk of the elbow Secretary Rey- nolds deftly removed 16 stories off the cast and there stood revealed a one-story building of Grecian archi. | tecture, with a peg in the top which | had previously held the. other 16 sto: ries in place, “This,” he continued, “4s the orig. inal Boston customs house. You will readily perceive that it Is a low build. | ing of some architectural beauty, | placed in the midst of an environment of tall buildings, of which the stock exchange is one. No Bostonese com- ing down State street can see the cus: toms house, and this fact has been one | basis of grave complaint, It would | have been exceedingly difficult to en- large the present building gn the sur- | rounding ground without burying It, | especially if {t were to be seen over | the top of the stock exchange. A | council of wise men was called to: | gether and eminent architects con- | sulted with the result you now see —the old Boston custom house buried under 16 stories of stone and mortar. When they had found out what they wanted I approved the plan, but 1 told them the new building looked like a combination of a roadnouse and a hose tower. However, these 16. sto ries fell off the mantelpiece the other day and stuck bottom side up on this bit of wire which runs through them. I take it that this is a good omen and that we shall go on collecting cus: toms duties in Boston, no matter what happens.” Washington @hock eftohinten: BPP TENS orl gs an TWAT LRAT Ly ROR RN Vana VR ARNO Thurston H.

As a result chicken dinners have become a fad with the residents of the national capital, 4 “FIDOLIN’ BOB,” CAN'T PLAY Tennessee Senator, However, Sald to Be Great Impersonator of Grand Opera Stare. Washington.—A year ago an article was written in which Senator Taylor of Tennessee was called “Fiddlin’ Bob,” and the name stuck. “I have known Senator Taylor ever since we were boys together,” sald Mr. MeCord, “and I tell you that he never could play the fiddle. He can saw out a tune, in a way, but as to really playing, he can’t do it. I have been where 10,000 people were de- manding a tune from his fiddle, and I never yet knew him to respond. The only reason was that he could not play, no other. His brother, Alf., ex- member of Congress, is a fiddler that is worth while, now. He is not a vio- linist, understand, but he is as fine a fiddler as one could wish to hear. He has Ole Bull beat to a finish. He doesn’t know as much as the senator about technic and notes and all that, but he can fiddle and the senator can- not. “However, the senator could have made his mark as an opera singer, 4f he had chosen that instead of the lec- ture platform and politics. He is the finest impersonator of famous grand opera stars I ever heard. This is something he can do, and no one ever hears of it, while he bears a national reputation as a fiddler, and he can’t fiddle, “Apropos of music, there is a good joke which Senator Taylor perpetrat- ed upon himself at the Nashville cen- tennial. As is usual at such affairs, there were different ‘days,’ and, natu- rally, Senator Taylor made the ad- dresses of welcome on these days. This series of addresses of welcome was fairly wonderful. On the day set aside as music day, he made one of the best speeches he ever made and he held his audience spellbound by his eloquence. Of course there were several composers and many great professors of music, men of world- wide renown, no doubt, who dwelt upon his words with rapt attention, until he came to the mention of the famous composers. He spoke of the priceless gift of music given to the world through the medium of such perfect masters as Wagner, Mendels- sohn, Beethoven, Rubinstein, Tann- hauser and several others. Well, when he mentioned the opera Tann- hauser, as a member of the immortal band, I saw a smile pass over the faces of the distinguished musicians and their kind, but, luckily, Senator Taylor did not notice it. “Afterwards, when I told him of it, he said, ‘Say, Laps, did I do such a thing as that?” The addresses were later published in book form, but the quoted ‘composer’ did not appear in the illustrious list.” GO TO SEE BIG SHAFT FALL Capital Folk Flock to See Washington Monument Tumble, but It Still Is 555 Feet High. Washington—The Washington mon- ument became an object of interest to Washington's oldest inhabitants the other day. For several days per- sons have been picking up small pleces of marble and cement, identical with the material used in the monu- ment. This started a story that the monu- ment was cracking and in danger of falling. Many who heard the story took advantage of the Sunday holiday to visit the monument to see it fall. The monument watchmen say it is not uncommon for pieces of marble to drop from the shaft from time to time, but they attach no significance to it. Stone masons say that these pieces falling from the seams eventu- ally may necessitate the expenditure of money in patching, The monument is 555 feet high, Power 6f the Senator. Speaker Cannon at the recent Grid iron club dinner in Washington, stood up for the senate. “You'd think the way the senate is blamed for everything,” he said, “that it had supernatural powers. “A crowd of farmers were knock- ing the senate one market day last month, when an old fellow of only one-horse power brain bustled into their midst. “Well, byes,’ said he, ‘what's the senate up to now?’ “Why, ain't ye heard, Zachary?’ said a young farmer, winking at the others, “The Senate’s went and passed a Dill addin’ two extry months to win- ter “Zachary struck his forward with his red-mittened fist. “"Do tell!’ he groaned. ‘Gosh durn the luck! ‘An’ here I'm clean out o’ fodder.’” An Appropriate Name, There's a bright girl at the capital, of the oldest and bluest regime—she comes of senatorial and supreme bench and antediluvian stoek—has a flance—or at least he was her fiance; the other day he turned into her hus- band—named Wood. Mr. Woe4, as behooves the conventional lover, pro- sented his innamorata with an ex- quisite little French poodle. Now, the lady is passionately fond of flowers. Her friends naturally assumed the dainty little canine would be chris- tened florally. “What are you going to call your dog?” the lovely flancee was asked, “that Mr. Wood gave you.” “Call him? Why, Dog-Wood, of course,” the poodle’s mistress" re- turned, opening wide blue eyes of sur- prise at the unnecessary question. And “Dogwood” the infinitesimal pup remains. : A.

Archimedes had just announced that if he had a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to rest it he could move the earth. "If you can't move the earth," shrieked a suffragette, "turn the job over to us! We'll do it!" But the journalists and historians of that day, being men exclusively, meanly blue penciled that part of the story. Just So. "A man gets a lot of things in this world that he doesn't want," observed the thoughtful thinker. "Yes," replied the student of human nature, "and a woman wants a lot of things she doesn't get." And seeing there is no chance for an argument, they let it go at that. Compelled to It.

Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a fancy and the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- THE GREAT WALL OF CINEMA Interestinng Facts About Chin and the Mighty Rampart He Built To Inclose Empire. To superstitious notions Chin added the lust of luxury, his life being a blaze of oriental magnificence. He built a wonderful palace, which has been described in the Imperial History as having certain gorgeous annexes attached at intervals, the whole extending over a distance of 100 miles. In consequence of his life of luxury, perhaps, he became more and more a prey to superstition, and it may be that because of this he completed the Great Wall. At any rate, history records that he was informed by prophecy that in time he would be overwhelmed and destroyed by outside enemies. So he mobilized an army of 300,000 men to work on the Great Wall, and if necessary to fight in his behalf. Chin's design evidently was to inclose his massive empire in a rampart which should have the shape of a horseshoe with the heel calks at the ocean shore. He did not plan to parallel the coast with a wall, doubtless considering that seaside an ample protection to a country vast and densely populated. The wall is not for modern use; it is an ancient fossil, the largest fossil on the earth. But fossils are useful and truthful. It is a dividing line between two civilizations and between two eras. In space it cut off the herdsmen of the north from the tillers of the south.—William Edgar Geil, in Harper's. TOLD IT ALL IN FEW WORDS. Picturesque and Virile Language of the Far West Is Well Illustrated. Are western people more picturesque in the use of language than those of other states? Are westerners able to say more in a few words than the people of any other part of the world? These questions, started at a club, brought out a number of arguments, pro and con. Some contended that the language of the westerner, though undoubtedly virile, did not convey all the different shades of meaning that a man with a full knowledge of English could do. "That is nonsense," broke in a man, who has spent most of his life on the coast; "a western man can say more in a few words than any other man I know, and I have traveled about a bit in my life. "Give you an example? Most willingly. I was in the state of Nevada and was asking information about the different counties. My informant was an old mining man. "Well', said I, 'how about Lincoln county?' "That is a fine county. None better nor richer. It is 180 miles from north to south and 90 miles from east to west, and not a bath tub in it." "That was as much as I wanted to know. He told me plainly there was no water to be had there. Could anything be more picturesque or briefer than that?"—San Francisco Call. Oysters on Trees And the oyster opener, turning to the salts, worked quickly with his red wet hands, while the red wet tongue of the man wagged with no less speed. "I see salt oysters growin' on trees," he said. "Where? Down New Zealand ways. Oysters grow on trees down there as thick as cherries. "You see, in the black mud of them salt creeks there's barrels of mangrove trees. These trees at high water is nearly submerged, and the oyster spawn fastens on 'em. Then, when the water goes down, you see miles of mangrove branches behind with their burden of oysters like a peach orchard bent with its load of fruit. "You reach up and pluck your oysters in New Zealand the same as we pluck apples here." Dogs Have Cancer. Among animals reptiles are practically the only species in which cancers have not been found, but it is the domesticated animals or those living in closest association with man that suffer most. Thus horses, cows, pigs, parrots, canary birds, cats, mice, rats—all these have cancer, and it is the closest animal associate of man, the dog, that is the most commonly afflicted. If all the lap dogs of Fifth avenue and our other fashionable quarters were examined a considerable proportion would be found to be afflicted with one or more malignant tumors.—McClure's Magazine. The Cruelest Solitudes An ill-fated Arab has committed suicide in New York because he found the great metropolis less hospitable than his native Sahara. "You meet with human kindness in the desert," he said. "Here there is none." It is the same old story of solitude in a city—the cruelest of all earth's loneliness where each man in a crowded street is so busily occupied with his own affairs that he has no time nor thought for the gentle stranger or passing brother less fortunate than he He Passed A political aspirant was taking the examination to qualify as sixth auditor of the treasury. He was asked to state the distance of the moon from the earth. His written answer was: "Not near enough to affect the functions of a sixth auditor of the treasury." ```markdown ``` S THE cool day approach women are turning their attention to the fall wardrobe, and an important item is the afternoon gown of cloth or crepe de chine. The new silk cashmere are a favorite material, and the smart models are all showing hand embroidery in a matching tone. It is these bits of handiwork that give the machet to a gown and distinguish it from the more ordinary run of frocks. It is hand work, too, which sends the price of a gown soaring into the clouds. Fortunate, indeed, is the woman who can make her own gown and do the bit of embroidery which sets it off so well. To-day we are giving an effective and simple design from the Greek, which may be applied to a frock of one of the new tones of silk cashmere. The half-tones—the dull blues, grays and violets, are all good, and a new shade, mahogany red, is very fashionable. To apply the design to the cloth, lay it on a hard board and use a hard, sharp pencil. For light colors use carbon paper between the material and the design, and for dark use a marking board or a piece of unglazed white paper, covered thickly with French or tailor's chalk. In working be careful that the marks do not get rubbed off. The embroidery is simple to do and very rapid, as the silks used are coarse. The outline of the square is done in plain outline stitch and the little border on the long side with flat dots, while the stitch between the dots is taken on the right side. The rest of the embroidery is solid satin stitch, with padding under the long leaf-shaped pieces. Use the heavy Filo embroidery silk. The gown in the sketch is a dull old red silk cashmere, with the embroidery in a matching tone, and the sleeve frills and tucker of soft white mull, with a bit of lace on the frills. The collar has a little tie of black satin which gives the note of black SOME OF THE LATEST FADS Quaint Bonnets for Babies Are Shown This Season—Smart Autumn Gown. Quaint little bonnets for babies are shown in poplin, bengaline, and felt for the coming season. The Dutch shape is much favored, probably because it fits so prettily around the wearer's face. Some are drawn in plain, others show a frill daring away from the face. A cute little bonnet of French felt displayed recently in a shop was plaited to fit the head, a twisted ribbon edging it and tying under the chin. About at the left temple a rosette of the ribbon held the twist in place, while a prim little bunch of pink roses was put on the same way on the right. Ribbon and felt were ivory white and a ruching of white chiffon encircled the face. A smart autumn grown for a woman past her first youth is a skirt of dull brown peau de soie yelled with dahlia purple ninon, the edges being bordered everywhere with scallops hemmed with a tiny roll of brown silk, each inclosing a worked cockle shell; to be worn with a shady brown chip hat trimmed with a big cluster of spiky purple cactus, dahillas and autumnal foliage tied with a thick rope of intertwined rouleaux of brown peau de soie. Are Your Hands Thin? Scrawny hands, with the bones and veins showing, are usually a sign in young persons of a badly impoverished condition of the system. If this is the case, the only way to improve them is by consulting a doctor. There is a possibility, however, that they are merely hereditary, with no attendant lack of health or vitality. In this case they may be improved in appearance. Rub pure mutton tallow into the hands and wrists every night. It will make the hands plump and smooth if persisted in. It will also whiten them. Woman's Crowning Glory. Good hair will often atone for a want of grace or classical outline. In one's mind's eye one can see the cloud of soft gold hair which frames a thin, white face of features that are too misshapen for orthodox beauty, or the masses for rich black hair that make one forget a dull skin, a stern mouth of big-boned, lanky figure, says the Strand Magazine. Red hair is now much admired and its ruddy tints bring pardon for many flaws, such as no eyebrows, a sharp chin, a flat nose—even freckles. And a woman's looks can be saved from ruin by a lovely complexion. CHE Hand Embroidered $ ^{*} $ Afternoon Gown with Design to Be Applied as Directed.
