LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT TAFT Speaks before the Wilberforce Club of Washington, D.C. on Negro Education. The President was Introduced by Register Vernon with Eloqueut remarks VOL. XVI. PRESIDI Speaks before the Wilberforce on Negro Education. Troduced by Register Verno On last Tuesday night President Taft, Senator Dick of Ohio, Justice John M. Harlan of the Supreme Court, Register W. T. Vernon, President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University, Dr. John Hurst, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. church, and Prof. W. A. Joiner, President of the local Wilberforce Club, participated in an unusual program designed to stimulate the interest of their two thousand hearers and extend financial aid to that institution. It was the regular weekly meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, which was founded by Bishop D. A. Payne, the little giant of Methodism, who also started the great Wilberforce University on its wonderful career of usefulness and achievement, more than sixty years ago. In the light of this history, it seems very meet and proper that an effort to aid the University should radiate from this other well-loved child of his heart and brain. Probably few meetings in the cause of Negro education here or elsewhere have been so fruitful of enthusiasm or so beneficial in the general scope of its accomplishments. From a racial standpoint these were positive and valuable to the last degree. President Taft has often spoke for Negro education, but never with so certain and so strong a ring for the general and unlimited dissemination of all kinds of knowledge among Negroes, as in this instance. The President arrived just as Prof. Scarborough was delivering his address. This was suspended while the orchestra filled the edifice with the soul stirring strains of "America," the audience standing while the presidential party proceeded to the platform. The address of Prof. Scarborough was interesting and exhaustive, furnishing a complete review of the history of the University since its foundation. The honor of presenting the President of the United States was assigned to Register Vernon, who acquitted himself with unequaled grace and eloquence, when at length he was permitted to speak after the long applause which greeted his appearance had subsided. After congratulating Wilberforce University on having the influence to bring together so large and so intelligent an audience, Mr. Taft said in part: "The Negro race is a great and growing race—4,000,000 when the war closed; 10,000,000 today—a race with whose history the United States has been bound, and with whose progress and improvement this country must always be bound and united. While the white race and the Negro race live contentedly together in this country, they must have among the Negro race leaders. They must have a highly educated class from which those leaders are to be drawn. The Negro race is a race peculiarly susceptible to the teaching from the pulpit, and nothing can do more to secure their upift than the thorough classical and higher education of their preachers. If you are going to spread industrial and primary and secondary education among the Negroes generally, you must do it through competent teachers, and those teachers can be obtained only by receiving the best education that the country can afford. Another path along which the Negro race must laboriously mount upward is the path toward hygiene and the guarding against the ravages of disease, which has brought about such loss and suffering to the entire race all over the country; and that can be accomplished only by having among the Negroes competent physicians, competent surgeons, competent nurses, and competent leaders of the people in this regard to teach them how to live. And those physicians have got to receive the highest education, both academically and medically, if they are to serve their highest purpose. "Now, I am entirely agreed that it is wise to teach those who farm as much as possible about the farm, but what I want to call your attention to is that the amount of money that is devoted to the higher education of the Negro, as compared with the 10,000,000 Negroes in this country, is not enough, if you are to divide it up among that 10,000,-000, to make any great amount per capita. President Scarborough can tell you. I went over the figures once or twice, and instead of being enough to indicate waste, there is an indication that there is not near enough money to even educate the leaders of the race that the race must have if it is going on to progress as it is. Therefore, whenever I hear of a movement toward Negro education—whether it be primary, secondary, industrial or university—I am in favor of it from the ground up." Surely none may desire words more earnest or thoughts and wishes more in keeping with the highest aspirations of the Negro than these. At the conclusion of his remarks the President was given a splendid ovation. Senator Dick, the senior senator of Ohio, also spoke appreciatively and earnestly of the work of Wilberforce, ranking it among the best institutions of the state and one in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 19 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, which all Ohioans were deeply interested. From a standpoint of unadulterated sympathy and consistent devotion to the principles of right and justice, as involved in the life of the Negro in America, no address could have had a deeper interest for that great audience than that of the Hon. John M. Harlan, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. His record as a life-long friend of the Negro and as his unswerving advocate in the high tribunal which he has now so long graced, is unparalleled. On the many questions which have torn the mind of the nation and disturbed the peace of the sections, involving the right of Negroes to an equality of citizenship, the opinions of the Court have often been adverse, yet in every instance there has been a minority opinion, solemn and sonorous, voiced by that rugged son of Kentucky and champion of human liberty, John M. Harlan. His remarks on this occasion were particularly felicitous. There was humor, wisdom and pathos, blended into an address of force and eloquence which left an impression as of a valedictory to a cause and people whose interests and uplift have long lain heavily upon his mind and heart. In the course of his remarks, Justice Harlan paid a remarkable tribute to the late Frederick Douglass, that grand old champion of Negro enfranchisement and civil liberty, saying "he was the greatest man he ever heard speak in so far as dominating a popular crowd was concerned, and he had heard the best of American orators, from Henry Clay to Blaine, and concluded with the statement: "We must be awakened, both whites and blacks, to our duty towards Wilberforce and the Negro, who, before the law, is the equal of any one of us." Cards were distributed for contributions and the responses included a donation from the President, as well as one from his brother, Mr. C. P. Taft, of $1,000, which goes to swell the fund of $17,500 being raised to earn a conditional gift from Mr. Andrew Carnegie of a similar amount, to be used towards the erection of a large dormitory for girls at the University. An interesting feature of the evening was the presence of Miss Portia C. Sprague, a grand-daughter of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, who was one of the first trustees of Wilberforce. She was invited to stand, having declined a seat upon the platform, that the audience might see her. Her appearance was greeted with applause. At the request of Justice Harlan, the audience stood and sang "America," after which the benediction was pronounced by Bishop Grant. JONATHAN COVER. --- BOURBAN STILL LIVES BOURBAN STILL LIVES NEGRO NOT ALWAYS TO BLAME. SPRING BUSINESS IS OPENING. DISERANCHISING. It would seem that with the passing of years people would learn. Experience seems to be able to influence the conduct of most people under ordinary conditions. But there have been a class of people, since the time "when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," who seem to be totally incapable of reading aright the signs of the time. Either through stubbornness or downright foolhardiness they have presumed to step in the way of the wheels of progress, only to be crushed by the onward and upward march of humanity. The most striking lesson of this is rare in the tragic history of the Bourbons of France. In this a line of mighty kings were drowned in the flood of blood that submerged Paris, and opened the way for the coming of the people. The modern Bourbon is but a tinselled daub of the ancient type. Yet he plants his hulk in the way. From the first this Bourbon has sought to thwart the coming of the Negro. It was the bourbon who held him in bondage and laid the foundation of rebellion. It has been the bourbon who has hung about the neck of the race like a millstone since emancipation, seeking through intimidation and disfranchisement to crush the spirit of the race. It has been this same bourbon who has lighted the lynching fires on a thousand hills of the fair southland and sent the hideous cruel "bloody shirt brigade" in the late hours of night to commit murder and arson. The same wrote disfranchising clauses in the organic and statute laws of the land and made "Jim Crow" cars disgrace the land. It would seem that in this day and generation, when a thousand schools teach civic righteousness, and many more churches preach "the brotherhood of man," and the Negro has caught step to the march of civilization, that disfranchisement and kindred schemes would retire to justly condemned oblivion. But not so. Oklahoma, the last in the sisterhood of states, is seeking to enact "the grandfather clause" that thousands of its best and most prosperous citizens and taxpayers shall be denied the right to vote. The Bourbon still lives. And it is up to Governor Haskell to stop this diabolical effort to crush a rising people. The bourbon never learns. NOT ALWAYS. The expression, "the Negro is to blame" is so often heard on the streets of Denver and elsewhere that we are prone to accept such without question. The Colorado Statesman finds much in this made-to-order conclusion to condemn. If one will accept the reports of the daily papers and the records of the police department, along with the burstone opinions delivered by some imaginary sufferer from Negro dereliction, the only safe course left in dealing with this class is to adopt the recently enunciated methods of Dr. Hudson of Missouri in disposing of the idiots, insane and incurable—dose them with prussiac acid. It is not the bad Negro so much as the vast amount of noise he makes. This is true in Denver and all over the land. Here thousands of thrifty colored men and women are laboring earnestly for the public welfare. They are found in every walk of life that race prejudice will permit. They are buying and building homes, churches and schools. They are tilling the soil and bringing the products of their efforts to help feed the world. This is equally true of the whole land, as well as Colorado. Down in Oklahoma, where bourbon ignorance and hatred seeks to prescribe and limit the manhood rights of the race, many thousands of farms yield their fruit in season at the magic touch of an ebon hand. The number will grow larger there each year just as it will in Colorado. The progress of the race will tell its own story each year, despite the schemes of the bourbon and the weight of the bad Negro. Just stop his noise and keep buying homes and farms. DOWN TO BUSINESS. Spring business is openeng up on all hands with a rush and the outlook for a prosperous year was never better. Our people should take hold of the business situation and if no chance comes to the top—make one. The Denver market needs more chickens and eggs. Now is a good time to go out into the country and get busy. Our people can raise garden truck as well as any other class. There is not enough raised to supply the demands of the market. It is a splendid opportunity to get rich. Man and wife can do better at this than at odd jobs and washing in the city. It requires but small capital with generous returns. Let our people try it. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Birmingham, Ala., March 8—W. R. Pettiford, president of the National Negro Bankers Association, has issued a call notifying the members and colored bankers of the United States that the annual session of the organization will be held in New York City, August 16, one day prior to the convening of the National Negro Business League. New Orleans.—There is great excitement here since the recent articles which appeared in Pearson's Magazine as to who is who, and it was found that there are only 1,000 pure white families in the city of New Orleans; all the rest have colored blood.

The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad company has recently ap NO.27 pointed Mr. W. R. Readus, of Mullahassee for several years resigned as such and will soon surrender chargel He is at present in charge of both offices. Mr. Readus is well fitted in a business way to master the details of the new office. Columbus, Ohio, March 9. There was excitement galore among the politicians last Friday morning when Mayor Marshall called Superintendent of Street Cleaning Sylvester Condon into his office, asked for his resignation and shortly afterwards announced the appointment of Everett Spurlock, a Negro, to the position. The new Superintendent of Street Cleaning was formerly connected with sheriff's office. He is said to have made an excellent record while deputy sheriff. Chapel Hill, N. C., March 8. Thirty thousand dollars is the estimated value of the real estate left by Miss Adelaide Kron of Stanley County, who died recently, leaving an unsigned will. Unless heirs of the deceased are found within two years this estate will become the property of the University of North Carolina, according to the state law on escheated property, which reads: "All real estate which shall accrue from escheats shall be vested in the University of North Carolina, and shall be appropriated to the use of that corporation." The will left unsigned by Miss Kron provided for the distiction of 200 acres of the 1,000 acre tract, and the home place to the old family slaves. The balance was to go to the university. Unless heirs are found the whole estate will now revert to the university. Richmond, Va., March 6.—In honor of the memory of Nathan Moore, a faithful colored servant, the members of the Westmoreland club has been ordered to assemble in the cludrooms tomorrow for the purpose of attending in a body the funeral. 'This is a step never taken before in the history of this exclusive club.' Not even the death of its own members representing the society men of the city, has been the occasion for such honor. Moore wore six service stripes on his arm, representing each five years' service, and on Christmas each stripe brought $5.00 as a present. For many years he has been doorkeeper, and though ill for months his position had been kept open for him. A carriage was sent to the home of the old Negro last Christmas, for he was too weak to walk and insisted on being at his regular place on Christmas night. A handsome wreath bound in the colors of the club will be sent to his home tomorrow.

Greeley.—An ordinance making if unlawful to solicit orders for liquor or to receive orders within the city limits, and within a radius of one mile of the city limits, was passed at a meeting of the City Council Tuesday night. Violation of the ordinance is punishable by a fine of from $50 to $300, or by a jail sentence. N. G. C. School of Instruction.

Legal Eight for Balanced Rock. Legal Fight for Balanced Rock. Manitou—Legal battle for the famous Balanced Rock near Manitou, one of the world-renowned points of interest at the Garden of the Gods, was begun in the District Court Monday. Attorney C. W. Dolph, representing the town of Manitou filed suit to recover possession of parts of Balanced Rock and Steamboat Rock, naming as defendants Paul Goerke, Curt Goerke, Ida Goerke, E. P. Hufferd and W. C. Stark. The Goerkes are the owners of the two rocks, and Hufferd and Stark are brought into the suit by two trust deeds given them by the family. According to the complaint, the east two-thirds of the Balanced Rock and the west half of Steamboat Rock are situated on a public street known as The Garden of the Gods street, and forming part of the public domain within the corporate limits of the town of Manitou. Both these scenic attractions have been held for many years by the present owners, who have held them as scenic attractions for private gain, and the suit is for the purpose of securing the alleged rights of the city and throwing open the street and the attractions to the public. Big Reservoir Site Filed. Fort Morgan.—B. W. Jackson and C. M. Ridenour made filings Monday on a reservoir site located two miles west of this city on the Platte river, which will be known as that of the Old Fort Reservoir, Irrigation and Power Company. Surveyors have been at work on the project for the past six months. The reservoir will have a capacity of 2,997,354,186 cubic feet of water, or sufficient to cover for a depth of one foot 68,810 acres of land. MARBLE IS TOO EXPENSIVE ARCHITECT SAYS LIMESTONE SHOULD BE USED IN DENVER PUBLIC BUILDING. $1,600,000 AVAILABLE GUGGENHEIM SUGGESTS YULE MARBLE FOR EXTERIOR OF SUPERSTRUCTURE. Washington, March 16.—Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor stated today that before making an award of contract for constructing the Denver public building all of the bids submitted yesterday would be sent to the firm of architects who made the plans for it, Messrs. Tracy, Swartwout & Litchfield of New York, for an analysis and recommendation. It is the supervising architect's belief that the funds available for the building, $1,600,000, are not sufficient to permit the acceptance of any of the bids submitted proposing to use either marble or granite for the superstructure of the building, and that if any one of the bids is accepted, it will have to be for limestone construction. He says it will require the expenditure of between five and six thousand dollars for interior finish, the installation of heating and lighting apparatus and furnishing, and the funds authorized will not therefore permit the expenditure of more than a million dollars for construction of the superstructure. The limestone bid was that of $948,-318, made by Charles McCall Company of Philadelphia. Senator Guggenheim stated today that he has urged the supervising architect to accept the lowest bid offering the use of Colorado Yule marble for the superstructure, even if it should be necessary to modify the plans for interior finish so as to bring the cost of the building within the cost limit fixed by the act authorizing its construction and, if necessary, will appeal to the secretary of the treasury and the President to have this done. Unions Will Protest. Whatever influence the American Federation of Labor may have in Washington is to be used to prevent the granting of the contract for the furnishing of the marble for the new Postoffice building to the Colorado Yule Marble Company. Because of a long-standing grudge against this company, the outgrowth of a labor fight, the local labor men have secured the aid of the national body to oppose the granting of any contract to the Colorado company. In their trouble with the Colorado federation at Marble last summer the company fought the union to a standstill. The labor men have had a grudge against the company ever since and as it is one of the lowest bidders for the furnishing of Colorado marble the labor men have decided to use their influence against the company. The officers of the American Federation have agreed to help in the fight, but the local officers of the company are but little concerned over the matter. "It is merely a little spitework," said one of the officers yesterday. "If our bid is the lowest, we will receive the contract." Future Dreadnaughts Still Larger. London.—The battleship of the future may be fifty per cent, larger than the present Dreadnaught. This is the prediction of Rear Admiral Bacon, the commander of the original Dreadnaught, who addressed the Institute of Naval Architecture Thursday. The size of the ships and the power of their guns must increase, until actual war confirms or qualifies the present theory of naval construction, he added. No Dry Vote for Massachusetts. No Dry Vote for Massachusetts. Boston.-The people of Massachusetts will not have an opportunity this year to ballot upon the question of amending the constitution so as to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors. The House has refused to substitute a bill providing for such a referendum for an adverse committee report, and then accepted the adverse report. Millionaire Artist Suicides. New York.—Willis E. Davis, the millionaire clubman and artist of San Francisco, who died on the White Star liner Oceanic en route to this port, was a suicide, according to information brought here today with the arrival of the steamship. Rock Island Freight Agent Dies. Kansas City, Mo.—Richard C. Simmons of Chicago, traveling freight agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway, died in a hospital here today.

CORRECTING FALSE IMPRESSIONS The extensive tables recently published in our columns comparing water rates in Denver with those of nearly one hundred other cities in the United States, forty-eight having a population of over 100,000, will have the effect of correcting many false impressions that have been lurking in the minds of our citizens since the days when unreliable political agitators first began to assail the Denver Union Water Company with charges of extortionate levies upon property owners for the water privileges which they enjoy. The impression has gained great ground here that water charges in Denver were far in excess of those in other cities, especially in cities of the East and South, where, naturally, water is more easily procured. It must be rather demoralizing to the local water critic to find that by accurate comparison of rates for all classes of water service, Denver citizens get their water at a cost thirty-five per cent less than the average cost in these one hundred cities. This is particularly true in the charge for necessity service, or the rate for water for necessary household uses, not including bathroom, toilet and irrigation uses. The charge for this service in some of these cities is nearly four times the charge for the same service in Denver, while but a bare half dozen report lower rates than the Denver rate, and these obtain their water supply within the city limits. For instance, Pueblo, North Side, charges $18.00 per year for this service for a six-room house, while Boston charges $8.00 and Nashville $9.00. The charge in Denver is $4.80. Cities like Louisville, Buffalo and Galveston charge $6.00, while Baltimore soars up to $17.00. Almost the entire supply of the water used in Denver is obtained from twenty to fifty miles from the city, but notwithstanding the great expense of conducting it over such a great distance, it is served at a cost much less than that charged in many cities whose water supplies are close at hand. The natural deduction is that the Denver Union Water Company, instead of levying exorbitant rates, has established a schedule of rates unusually low and decidedly reasonable. The false impressions obtaining here have been sown and cultivated by politicians for the sole purpose of creating sensational issues with the hope of deluding the people into political revolt, for which no other cause could be established. Public or private interests were not allowed fair consideration and resulting agitations have cost the people of Denver millions of dollars unnecessarily. These published comparisons really further indicate an actual saving to the taxpayer through the private corporate ownership of the water service plant—a plausible conviction which seldom secures meritorious and deserved hearing in the face of adverse political clamor. The fact that the present charge for filtered water in Denver is lower than the charge for filtered or unfiltered water in three-fourths of the first and second class cities in the United States means that the taxpayers of Denver will save to themselves the unnecessary outlay of millions of dollars if they settle the water question decisively by an overwhelming vote favoring the well-guarded continuance of conditions with which a majority of the cities of the United States cannot favorably compare. LET US HAVE THE TRUTH ON THE WATER QUESTION. Deliberate lies and mis-statements never settled any question in which the public is interested. The Colorado Statesman wishes to make this point perfectly clear to its readers and also to such citizens as T. M. Patterson, John A. Rush and their followers, who during the past week or more have run anuek in Denver thrusting at the people the most transparent tissue of falsehoods bearing on the water question that it has been the misfortune of the people to encounter during the many years that this coterie of agitators has been dealing with the question. We refer to the covenants that have been made by The News and The Times upon the projected franchise of the Denver Union Water Company. Wednesday morning, March 9, The News said, discussing the Water Company's proposition: THE PUBLIC HAD EXPECTED THAT THE WATER COMPANY WOULD OFFER AT LEAST A PRETENSE OF REDUCING RATES, BUT THE LETTER BOLDLY PROCLAIMS THAT THERE IS TO BE NO CUT IN RATES FOR TWENTY YEARS. THE RATES ARE THE SAME RATES THAT EVEN THE OLD SUPREME COURT, CONTROLLED AS IT WAS BY THE CORPORATIONS, PRONOUNCED UNFAIR, UNJUST AND UNREASONABLE." That statement is a deliberate lie, uttered solely for the purpose of misleading the voters and to induce them to support the Patterson-Rush program for a new water plant to drive the present company out of business. The Patterson organs for the past two and one-half years have persisted in misquoting the decision of the Supreme Court bearing on the rates of the Denver Union Water Company. They have written into that decision matter that never appeared there, or they have rolled under their tongue the three words, unfair, unjust and unreasonable, which were used in the opinion in a sense entirely different from that attached to them by the Patterson organs. The people should be told only the truth about the entire water question, and particularly about the rates. If the Patterson organs are so thoroughly depraved that they cannot tell the truth they would serve Denver better by keeping still entirely. So the people may know what the Supreme Court did say about those rates, we will give a brief review of the case it decided. Twenty years ago T. M. Patterson was general counsel for the Denver Water Company, the predecessors of the present company. In that capacity he aided in drafting the franchise under which the present company is operating and through his political influence had it passed by the city council. For and in consideration of his efforts he received a "loan" of $75,000 from the water company. There is no positive record of his having paid that "loan." The notes under which it was negotiated ran for two years and bore no interest. That "loan" secured for him his interest in the Rocky Mountain News and was the foundation for his present comfortable fortune. The franchise that he had passed by the city council through his influence as political boss had in it a section numbered "5." This section provided for a schedule of rates known as Schedule A, and it further provided that at any time after five years from the passage of the franchise the city might require the company to readjust its rates on the basis of the average rates prevailing in three cities of Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis. T. M. Patterson knew that when he placed that provision in the franchise it could not be enforced, for the Chicago rates were based on the frontage width of buildings, St. Louis rates on the number of rooms and location of the building, and Cincinnati rates on the ground area occupied by the building. He knew that it is impossible to average frontage, location and area in such a manner that a rate schedule could be made that would be applicable to general water service. When he inserted the proviso he expected that he would continue to be attorney for the water company and political boss of Denver, and never apprehended that any attempt would be made to have the water company observe the provision. But four years after he secured the passage of the franchise the Denver Water Company went out of business and its place was taken by the present company. One of the first acts of the new officers of the Denver Union Water Company was to discharge Patterson and retain another as general counsel. Patterson was still political boss of Denver. He controlled the city council. He saw an opportunity to make endless trouble for the water company by having the city insist on its complying with the impossible proviso. He had a resolution introduced in the council in January 1895 demanding this compliance. The resolution was adopted. The water company officials went before the council and stated that it was impossible to do what the ordinance required them to do. They stated that as nearly as they could determine the nearest possible approximation of an average of the rates of the three cities was about 8 per cent. lower than the rates in Denver. They offered the council a reduction of 20 per cent. from those rates to make sure they were getting low enough. The city council accepted the reduction offered. Patterson controlled Mayor McMurray, then the chief executive of the city. McMurray vetoed the ordinance, and later instituted mandamus proceedings against the company to force it to comply with Patterson's provision in the franchise. The case was tried in the District Court of Arapahoe County before Judge LeFevre. Judge LeFevre agreed with the company that an average of the rates of the three cities was impossible, but he promulgated a schedule which he held to be a compliance with the spirit of the franchise. This schedule was about $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. higher than the reduction offered by the company. Mayor McMurray, disappointed at the outcome of the case, which Patterson had assured him would result in lower rates than were offered by the company, appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The case was pending before that body from 1898 until July, 1907, when a decision was handed down setting aside the schedule made by Judge LeFevre on the ground that the rates of the three cities could not be averaged and the lower court had erred in attempting to do the impossible. The Supreme Court did not characterize any rates as unfair, unjust and unreasonable. It only discussed this question in connection with the claim set up by the company that the compromise schedule that it offered in 1895 was more than fair, just and reasonable to private consumers in Denver. In this connection the Court said: "The whole burden of the defendants' (the water company) brief and argument is to the effect that the company having adopted the schedule of rates which was less than the contract called for, had kept not only the letter but the spirit of the contract. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS CONTENTION OF THE DEFENDANT IS AMPLY SUSTAINED BY THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE, but under the issue presented by the pleadings such contention cannot avail, for the reason that there was no question of the justice, fairness or reasonableness of the schedule of rates adopted by the company in 1895 presented to the court below. The sole question was a determination of a schedule of rates which should be equivalent to the average rate prevailing in the three cities mentioned for the same service." Elaborating on this phase of the question, the court then drew the following conclusion: "If the schedule adopted by the company in 1895 was fair, just and reasonable to private consumers, then the court schedule was unfair, unjust and unreasonable in that it very materially increased the rates to be paid by private consumers." It is a perfectly patent fact that if a low schedule was fair, just and reasonable to private consumers, that a higher schedule could not be so characterized, but the court makes it perfectly clear that it was not passing judgment as to the fairness, justice or reasonableness of any of the schedules, hence the statement that it did so is not founded on facts. The schedule of rates now offered by the water company is the schedule that the court said had more than complied with the letter and spirit of Section 5 of Ordinance 44, but which could not be accepted because the only issue was the formulation of a schedule that would average something that could not be averaged.

THE MAN PUT FORTH BY PATTERSON TO BE ENGINEER IN CHARGE OF A MUNICIPAL WATER PLANT FOR DENVER, MR. ABRAHAM LINCOLN FELLOWS. Last Saturday at a luncheon given by The Citizens' Water League at the Albany Senator Patterson launched his campaign for the construction of a new water plant for Denver. According to The Sunday News-Times, the luncheon was attended by more than 100 citizens. Most of those present were well known to the people of Denver as the followers of various movements inaugurated in the past by the Welton Street statesman to give him control of the affairs of the city. A few were citizens honestly anxious to inform themselves of the merits of both sides of the water question. The last mentioned went to the luncheon because the Patterson papers had heralded far and wide the announcement that Abraham Lincoln Fellows, candidate for the position of engineer and chairman of the water commission, would tell the people all about a new water plant to be built for Denver at a cost of less than $8,000,000. Mr. Fellows was an absolute disappointment. He convinced the citizens who went seeking light on the water question that he is one of two things: Either a hopeless incompetent seeking a position that he can not fill; Or—an engineer who, knowing his business, is so anxious for the office that he will dodge the truth and try to obtain that office by means of false pretenses. Remember, Mr. Fellows was to tell how a new water plant could be built for Denver for less than $8,000,000. If you read his speech in the Sunday News-Times you know that he did not do as he was advertised to do. Remember, also, that Mr. Fellows is styled by Patterson as the engineering prodigy of the age. He approached the subject of the new water plant in the following manner: "Not having the advantages of the time and funds necessary to go into details regarding the various items of value of the physical plant—meaning the water plant—I can not do better than refer you to the report of J. B. Hunter, city engineer, on the worth of the present system and the cost of building a new water plant for the City of Denver." Mr. Fellows is a member of the firm of Field, Fellows and Hinderlider. This firm was employed by the city to represent it in the capacity of experts during the appraisement proceedings that resulted in fixing the valuation upon the property of The Denver Union Water Company. The firm received a great big fee from the city presumably for work as expert consulting engineers. The duty of an expert engineer or a firm of experts employed under those conditions if they have any duties surely would require them to secure all available information as to the cost of a water system for Denver so they could combat successfully any claims made by the Denver Union Water Company in support of what Mr. Fellows characterizes as excessive valuation. We believe that is just what Mr. Fellows' firm was paid for. If he, as a member of that firm, did his full duty to the city he would not be making excuses, based on the claim that he had not the time or funds to ascertain the facts. The city gave the firm both time and funds, and plenty of both. Now as to Mr. Fellows as an engineer. He claims to be a competent one. If you were a competent engineer seeking a position at the head of a commission to take control of a water system for a large city, when that city was confronted with a question of such importance as buying a water system for $14,400,000, would you not feel it your duty to ascertain whether or not the plant was worth the price? plant was worth the prize. Would you not feel that to be your duty even though the same city had not paid you thousands of dollars to ascertain those facts as its expert? Also if it were contended that the plant offered at $14,400,000 could be duplicated for about half that money, would you not deem it your duty as an engineer seeking such an important position to acquaint yourself with all the facts bearing on the situation so you could if that claim were true combat through personal knowledge of conditions the claim that $14,400,000 was a fair valuation? We think you would if you were competent, and honest with yourself and the people of the city. Especially if that city had paid your firm well for the time required to obtain all this information and given ample time to obtain it. Mr. Fellows does not do this. He simply stated in his speech that he was very skeptical as to the actual cash outlay of The Denver Union Water Company upon the plant being more than $6,000,000. Then he referred his hearers to the report of City Engineer Hunter prepared twelve years ago and entirely inadequate as covering a water plant for Denver at that time, let alone now, when Denver has nearly twice the population of twelve years ago. He knew when he referred to that report that City Engineer Hunter is not a qualified civil or hydraulic engineer. He knew that City Engineer Hunter has had no technical training and has acquired such knowledge of engineering work as he possesses through his employment in various capacities in the public work in the City of Denver. ployment in various capacities. Why did Fellows refer to Hunter's report for the cost of a new water plant? Was it because he is incompetent to prepare a report of his own that will pass muster in the world of engineering, for such a report will be scrutinized by competent engineers? Or—did he do it because he is competent and knows perfectly well that it is impossible to build a water plant for any such money as Hunter claims, and knowing this wishes to protect himself as an engineer in a position where he can claim that he never said on his own responsibility that a water plant could be built for $8,000,000. And while knowing this and desiring to protect his reputation as an engineer, he is still so anxious for that commissionership and the salary of $5,000.00 a year and perquisites that he is willing to obtain it by means of false pretenses? it by means of false prescriptions. Think carefully over the problems presented, for regardless of the motive that inspired Mr. Fellows, the people must pay the freight if they vote for municipal ownership. If he dodged the issue because he is incompetent, Denver will have a pretty kettle of fish should he get control of the water plant as engineer at the head of the water commission. If he dodged the issue because he is competent and knows that a water plant can not be built for $8,000,000, but is willing to secure the office by means of false pretenses, Denver will have still a prettier kettle of fish should he get control of the water system as engineer at the head of the water commission. water commission. A Gentle Suggestion. "I'm a consumer," said the man who between hiccoughs was talking at the top of his voice in the owl car, "and there is no doubt that I am always getting the worst of things." "Well," replied the advocate of local option, "there are men who seem averse to paying their good money for any other kind of an article."

GOVERNOR GENERAL'S GUEST Khartum, Egyptian Sudan.—Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, accompanied by his son Kermit and members of the party which has accompanied him through the jungles of Africa in search of big game, arrived at Khartum, Monday. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Roosevelt were first to greet the returning traveler as he stepped from the boat loaned by a British government official on which he made the voyage on the Nile from Kondokoro. It was a hearty greeting between husband and wife who had not seen each other for nearly a year, and the great crowd that was gathered at the landing expressed its approval in three mighty cheers. Shuns Political Talk. Scores of special correspondents sent by the great American newspapers swarmed around the former president as soon as he was released from the grasp of his wife and daughter. To them Col. Roosevelt declared he would not discuss the political situation in the United States with which he has been out of touch for so many months. Col. Roosevelt asked many questions and was greatly interested in affairs at home. One bold correspondent received a Roosevelt smile only when he asked if the colonel will be a candidate for the presidency in 1912. Questions about his friend Gifford Pinchot's row with Secretary Ballinger and President Taft were likewise turned aside unanswered. Col. and Mrs. Roosevelt, their son and daughter, and members of the expedition, are guests of Gen. Sir. Reginald Wingate at the governor gen- THE GOVERNOR eral's palace. Many forms of entertainment have been prepared by Sir Reginald for his guests. Was Remarkable Journey. Col. Roosevelt's arrival at Khartum completed one of the most notable journeys since the days of Livingstone and Stanley. The visit to the dark continent and the invasion of the lair of the lion, tiger, elephant and rhinoceros has been remarkable because of the escape of Col. Roosevelt and his aides from the deadly contagious diseases that haunt the jungles. Up to the time of his arrival there had been no serious accidents. The town of Khartum is a mass of color. Flags of Egypt, England and America are everywhere, and the expresident has probably appreciated nothing more than the opportunity of visiting this historical spot. Khartum Historical Spot. Khartum is virtually built around the grave of "Chinese" Gordon. The city itself is a gigantic monument to that soldier's deeds and his heroic death. In the center of it stands his effigy in bronze, mounted on a camel, gazing with fixed eyes out toward the desert which mocked him during the terrible year that he lay there waiting for relief. Behind the statue stands the British governor's palace, an imposing structure in the Gothic style, typical of British power and British permanence. Not far away is the Gordon Memorial college, a school built with funds raised by Gen. Kitchener by subscription throughout Great Britain, in which the Sudanese newer generation is trained for service in the government which conquered its fathers. Everywhere throughout the city the name Gordon appears. There is the Gordon hotel, the Gordon drive and up the White Nile the Gordon tree. Gordon's memory will live so long as Khartum exists. The British have transformed the city of his death into a memorial to his glory that can laugh at time. Khartum stands at the confluence of the White and Blue Niles, and some day with the development of the wilderness south of it will become a metropolis as important to the commerce of Africa as Chicago is to the commerce of North America. Properly speaking, however, the city itself does not extend beyond the banks of the Blue Nile. The river passes directly through the city, and along its banks, fronted by the barracks of the British soldiers, lies a magnificent driveway three miles in length. Northwest of Khartum is Omdur- T. R. Theodore Roosevelt. man, the city occupied by the Mahdi after the death of Gordon and the scene of the licentious revelries that occupied the native soldiery up to the time that they were confronted and overwhelmed by Kitchener. The British, true to their policy of colonization, have not attempted seriously to interfere with Moslem customs here. The ruins of the Khalifa's body guard headquarters, the military prison, the remnants at the Arab fortifications have all been allowed to stand. Still further north is the field of Kerreri, the shambles in which Kitchener with mathematical exactitude slashed to pieces the Arab forces. The battle was one of the bloodiest in modern history. It was marked on the side of the British by a skill and coolness that was in itself a tribute to Anglo-Saxon civilization. Route Roosevelt Followed.

"I wrote her a poem on my new typewriter. It began 'How like a flower your face is.'" "The cursed machine wrote it, 'How like flour your face is!'" A. New Version. Apropos of George Washington and the cherry tree story, Senator Beveridge said at a dinner in Indianapolis: "I asked a little boy what this story was the other day, and he actually didn't know. He said he knew, though, the story about the judgment of Solomon, and he proceeded to tell it to me. "Solomon," he said, "was a very wise man. One day two women went to him, quarrelling about a baby. The first woman said, 'It is my child.' The second said, 'No, it is mine.' "But Solomon spoke up and declared: "No, no, ladies; do not quarrel. Give me my sword and I will make twins of him, so that each of you will be supplied." Ways and Means. During what is called an "observation" lesson, a mistress was questioning a class of small boys on certain points or things they had observed in connection with the habits of animals in water. "What do fishes swim with?" the lady asked. "With their fins," replied one scholar. "Right. And dogs?" "Their paws," answered the next. "Very good. And, now, the next boy, what do little boys swim with?" "Bathing-pants, mum!" The Whin Hand. "She evidently copies your patterns." "Quite so."

Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times, and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A Mich. woman gives her experience: "I used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took a breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live. "Finally I got down so sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed, and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would surely die, but I felt I could not give it up." "However, Husband brought home a package of Postum and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much. "Gradually I began to get better, and week by week gained in strength and health. Now I am in perfect condition, and I am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was coffee drinking, and my getting better was due to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum. "A short time ago I tasted some coffee and found, to my astonishment, that I did not care anything about it. I never have to take medicine any more.

PE·RU·NA FOR DYSPEPSIA CATARRH OF STOMACH THE MOTHER AND THE BOY Childish Confidences That Should Never Be Repelled, But Always Encouraged. A boy's heart is full and overflowing. He needs some one who will listen to his confidence. If he is repelled and finds himself alone, he becomes fretful, indolent or worse. His affairs are not "nonsense." A good mother never says: "Run away; I am busy." She listens, encourages. Important discoveries may be made in these outpourings. She gives sympathy, enters into his feelings, sees things from his point of view. If he tells her of something which proves that he is at fault, she does not reprimand at the time, because this will check further confidence. She gives her attention quietly, tells him she is glad he has confided in her, and that she will talk of it again to him. If a mother has insight she can solve many problems. She is interested in her boy's sports, collections, his school and companions. The choice of his companions should not be left to chance. It is well if they are from families known to his parents.

Collections During 1910 Included Over 200,000 Books, Pamphlets and Manuscripts—Some Purchased While Others Were Presented. The Congressional library, a national institution, in which the people of the country are displaying more pride as the years go by, added 212. 119 books, pamphlets and manuscripts to its collection during the last year. The year. The most imports gift of printed material LAW SERVICE was from the Chinese government, a set of the great Chinese encyclopedia, comprising over 5,000 (in Chinese) volumes. This was brought to Washington by the special ambassador charged with the acknowledgments of China to the United States for the remission of the "boxer indemnity." Herbert Putnam, librarian, says that the term "encyclopedia" expresses very imperfectly the scope of this work. He points out that China alone—the government itself of China—has attempted to embody in this literary record the entire knowledge of an epoch. Among the gifts of individual material having special interest were more than a hundred printed volumes from the library of George Bancroft, presented by Mrs. J. C. Bancroft Davis. These include an extra illustrated copy of Bancroft's own history and a unique copy of the plates illustrating the stained glass in St. John's church in Washington. The collection of manuscripts was enriched during the year by several notable gifts, among which may be mentioned that of J. P. MacLean of Franklin, O., of a large number of papers illustrating the progress of the Shaker movement in Ohio, comprising letters from and to the community at Union village, records of the village, biographical notebooks, music, prayers and journals, the whole forming a valuable record of the rise of Shakerism in the middle west. The Burton Harrison collection, which came in during the year, is also highly prized. It consists of letters to his father, Burton N. Harrison, his grandfather, Jesse Burton Harrison, and his great-grandfather, Samuel Jordan Harrison, from Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay, R. R. Gurley, N. P. Trist, Jefferson Davis and others, all, especially the Jefferson Davis letters, throwing important light on historical events. Mrs. William Reed of Baltimore added to the collection of the year the private diary kept by William B. Reed during his mission to China in 1857-1859. Dr. Stuyvesant Fish Morris placed in the collection the certificates of election as president and vice-president of the United States of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, in 1833, and the certificate of election as president of Martin Van Buren in 1837. The transfer of manuscripts heretofore preserved in other government offices to the division of manuscripts in the library brought some important accessions during the year. The state department transferred all the applications for office during the administration of George Washington and the journal and minutes of the electoral college of 1877; the treasury department, the original vouchers and accounts of George Washington's expenses during the whole period of his command of the army during the revolution; the interior department the rich collection of historical documents filed in connection with the revolutionary pension claims, and papers pertaining to the slave trade and negro colonization in 1862-1872; the postoffice department, certain miscellaneous papers, being drafts of letters, opinions of assistant attorneys general and applications for office from 1825 to 1875. This work of rescuing from the various departments of the government papers and documents having a historical value is to go on. The more important purchases of the library during the year include the letters and log books of Admiral Sir George Cockburn (1772-1853), in 54 volumes, embracing a narrative of the proceedings of Lord Nelson's squadron in the cruise from Gibraltar and the battle of the Nile; Cockburn's mission from Spain to her American colonies in 1811; the orders and movements of the British squadron in American waters in 1814 and the voyage to St. Helena, whither he carried Napoleon in 1815. The Bosman papers were also purchased during the year. John Leeds Bosman was a historian of Maryland who from 1757 to 1823 lived on the eastern shore of Chesapeake bay, where he conducted a large estate and pursued the life of an antiquarian and historian. He left his library and papers to his nephew, John Leeds Kerr, who was a representative in congress from 1825 to 1829 and from 1831 to 1833. This collection of manuscripts, which is now regarded as having great value, was purchased from the descendants of John Leeds Kerr. During the year the Jefferson and Hamilton collections were added to by the purchase of additional letters, and an interesting contribution to the history of South Carolina federalism was obtained in a number of letters from Hamilton, Timothy Pickering and John Quincy Adams to William Loughton Smith, a representative from South Carolina in the First congress. The transcript of historical documents relating to American colonial affairs in the public record office and British museum in London and the Bodleian library at Oxford are now reaching the library. These records, as far as transcribed, aggregate about 65,500 folios of foolcap size. The copyright business of the library continues to expand. The gross receipts in the office of the register of copyrights during the last year were $87,085.53. The entries of titles for the year numbered 120,131. Of these entries 108,281 were titles of the productions of citizens or residents of the United States and 11,850 were titles of works by foreigners. The congressional library is now costing the people of the country approximately $1,000,000 a year. More than 1,000,000 tourists visited the library during the last year. It is much more than a show place and students from every section of the United States come here to pursue research work within its walls. Those persons who have charge of the library, through correspondence with scholars and students throughout the country, as well as with correspondence with other libraries, are quite firmly convinced that the people of the United States wish to see the library supported in first-class style. ADMIRAL EVANS' RETIREMENT "Fighting Bob" Is Now Really Out of the Service After Honorable Career. "Fighting Bob" Evans, seadog and diplomat, is now out of the navy. He has been on detached duty upon the general naval board, but has severed his connection with that body and will now pursue his military work. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans is one of the most picturesque characters in the eyes of the world to-day. He entered the naval academy 50 years ago, and was a good deal of a kid yet when he entered service during the war of the rebellion. From that day 50 years ago up to Wednesday, January 26, there has not been a day that he has not been upon active duty. He is now 64 years old. He will soon print the story of his life under the title "The American Admiral's Log." He is one of the most popular men in public life, and it is a popularity that has not been evanescent. He has retained his hold upon the hearts of the public through all these tumbling years of activity, and is loved by every man asea or ashore as "Fighting Bob," and yet he is in no sense of the word a belligerent, being a man only of keen judgment and firmness of purpose. When he made up his mind that an attack should be made he made it, and this determined purpose of his is one of the things that has endeared him to the blue-jackets. Admiral Evans had first command of the 18 battleships which made the year's trip around the world, and he remembers with a thrill of pride his entrance into San Francisco with those 18 great battleships in May, 1908, after the cruise around the Horn. He was detached three days after landing, and retired the following August. He was promptly assigned to duty in connection with the general board, from which he was recently detached. Rear Admiral Evans' career has been singularly happy and well rounded, and he enters private life with all the accompaniments of love, honor and troops of friends. Desire for Elkins' Dough. Few men in America and none in official life receive such a varied assortment of mail as does Senator Elkins and his family. The notoriety the Elkins family gained when there was so much discussion about the duke of the Abruzzi and the possible marriage of Miss Katherine Elkins to that scion of the Italian royal family caused the name of Elkins to be known in every part of the world. As a result every mail brings hundreds of letters from all parts of this country and from every civilized nook and corner of the world, including islands that are not placed in some of the older geographies. The writers of these letters assume that the Elkins' wealth is equal to all the fabulous fortunes of fiction and history. They ask for all sorts of things—in fact everything the human mind can conceive that money can buy. Bartholdt His Own Chauffeur. Congressman Bartholdt of St. Louis is the proprietor, or rather owner, of a brand new automobile. Having a taste for mechanics and knowing how to turn a steering wheel, shift a few levers and press a few buttons, the Missouri congressman has determined to be his own chauffeur and is taking rides about Washington. So far he has not been able to induce many of his friends to go with him, for, though they know he is a great peace advocate, and would not have bloodshed under any circumstances, they fear that even in the peaceful pursuit of running an automobile he might be dangerous until he becomes a trifle more expert. Coudrey Taxicabs. Congressman Coudrey would regulate taxicab charges in the District of Columbia and has introduced a bill to that end. A man, speaking of this bill the other day, said it is all right for a member of congress to give attention to everything in the District of Columbia, but in view of the overcharge of the St. Louis cabman for conveying Senator Stone to the station, he thought Missouri congressmen were afforded ample opportunity to give some attention to cab fares in their own cities.

ABSENCE NOT SAM'S FAULT Under the Circumstances It Will Readily Be Seen Why He Was Unable to Come. An East end family has enjoyed for some time the services of an industrious colored man, familiarly known as Sam, who helped on certain days of the month with the heavier forms of the household work, beating the rugs, cleaning the windows, and keeping the walks and paths in order. On a recent morning, a morning when the useful helper was due, the doorbell rang and the mistress of the house answered the summons. She found at the door an extremely polite colored man, who took off his hat and thus addressed her: "Mr. Bannon is very sorry, ma'am, but you must excuse him, 'cause he cain't come to your house this mornin', ma'am." "That's too bad," said the lady. "Is he sick?" "No, ma'am," replied the messenger, as he backed away. "He ain't sick—he's daid."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Danger in Spitting on Sidewalks. In order to show that spitting on the sidewalks is dangerous to health, an investigation has been made by Dr John Robertson, medical health officer of Birmingham, England, which shows that seven per cent. of the "spits" collected in public places contained consumption germs. On the other hand the dust collected from the floors of the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage sanitarium has been found to be free of tuberculosis germs, showing that a careful consumptive is not dangerous. TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would be few suffering with eczema.

They help us to forget the crossness of men and things; compose our cares and our passions; and lay our disappointments asleep.

The Right Way Left Behind. "I engaged a model the other day," said the artist sadly, "for her beautiful hair. I never saw anything quite so magnificent or abundant. When she got here I didn't like the way she had it done up, so I asked her to change it. I thought she had a kind of embarrassed look, but she went behind the screen and took it down and did it up all over again. When she came from behind the screen I was shocked. "She had left half her beautiful hair behind the screen!" Honest Truth. This isn't a comic paper joke; it actually happened on Elliot street in the South end yesterday.

The bodice and gored skirt are mounted in one; the panel of front being carried up to the bust over the waistband; the collar and cuffs are edged with silk straps; the vest and collarband also being of tucked silk. Materials required: Five yards 46 inches wide, five-eighths yards silk, 4½ inches lining sateen. Dressing Gown.—A specially pretty gown is shown here; it may be made up in cashmere, nun's velling, fine French flannel or flannelette. The empire bodice is tucked in front and trimmed with insertion; the deep turnover collar also being trimmed with insertion and lace; this is pleated at center back, and each side the front, and joins the bodice under a sash that is fixed at top under a diamond-shaped buckle made of silk over cardboard; the long ends are knotted twice and finish in loops. MOURNING JEWELRY IN VOGUE | IMPROVEMENT IN THE BANG Must by No Means Be Too Ornate— An Instance of Proper Thing To Be Worn. It is hard for a girl who likes quiet mourning to get jewelry that suits her taste. Most of it is too ornate, or is bestudded with pearls, or shows too much of the gold linings. A dog collar that is being worn by a girl in the deepest crape is in particularly good style. It is made of onyx set in gold, but in such a way that none of the shining metal shows. The form of the collar is groups of five oval sections set horizontally one above the other between square, upright sections deep enough to hold the cross pins in place. The horizontal parts are pointed at each end and about the size of an ordinary cuff pin. This collar fits closely about the throat and can be worn on the outside of the gown or on the bare neck. In having such an ornament made to order the number of the cross pins can be varied to suit the length of the neck. OF RUSSIAN GREEN. OF NOBLE Russian green diagonal cheviot was used in the making of a fashionable three-quarter length coat of the paletot variety. There is no trimming save black crochet buttons and collar and cuffs of sable Dress for Girl of 14 to 16 Years. S Materials required: Six and one-half yards 46 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards insertion, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards lace, three yards ribbon. Coat for Day or Evening Wear. Face cloth of firm texture is the most suitable material for this coat. The drawing gives the effect of the sleeves being cut in with the coat; but in reality they are separate; both center back and front are slightly drawn in by a band of embroidery, which in front end under the revers. These are faced with black silk, which is smart with almost any color. The sleeves are trimmed with tassels. The edges of the opening at the sides are connected by cords and buttons. The coat is lined throughout with silk. Materials required: Four and one half yards 52 inches wide, 20 buttons, about five yards cord, nine yards lining silk, three-quarters yard silk for facing revers, four tassels. Loose Fringe of Curls Has Taken Place of the Severe Cut Once So Much Worn. While the bang is back, it, like most revivals, would scarcely be recognized by its forerunners of the late eighties. No longer does one make herself a fright with the severely plain fringe of hair completely concealing the forehead and looking as if it had been cut around a crock. The modern bang is a loose, frizzy fringe of curls worn along the top of the forehead to soften the effect of masses of bought braids. Sometimes it is worn under the ribbon fillet, indeed, should be, if the wearer consults becomingness. As most women object to cutting their own hair to suit a passing fashion, no one should venture playfully to pull his lady love's curl that hangs in the middle of her forehead. To his mortification and her rage the fringe and the girl may part company. For women with big foreheads and hair scant on the temples the bang is a boon, as it is undeniably becoming and softens the face. A Brocade Blouse. Now is the time to use it, if you have any rich piece of old brocade reposing in an old trunk. Can't you manage to have it match your velvet or broadcloth skirt, so that you may wear it as the French do? They cover it with chiffon of the exact shade, or they bring it into harmony with the skirt by the use of a varying shade of chiffon. No trimming is used, no pleats are present. The neck line is slightly low, the sleeves reach to the three-quarter mark. Around the neck and sleeve edge there appears the merest line of plain velvet as a finish. This is elegant simplicity; and, although chiffon is not easy to handle, it will be found less difficult because of this lining of more heavy brocade. To color very delicate French lace, which is usually silk, it may be stretched with thumbtacks upon a board, with clean white blotters beneath it, and painted with gasoline and oil paint made very thin. This is done when laces are so tender that they would not stand dipping and wringing. A broad, new varnish brush is used for the painting of lace, and the process is a most delicate one, involving great care. Rice Water for Babies. Boil one cup of well washed rice in three-fourths of a gallon of water until quantity is reduced to about three cups. Strain. Serve the rice water in nursing bottle in the proportion of two-thirds rice water to one-third cow's milk.

THE SOLDIERS' HOME. Old Glory's brooding wings of love are spread, And in the grand seclusion of this fold, The remnant hearts of all her nation's dead Beat muffled drums of hist'ry yet untold. There's hist'ry in the waving, frosted hair, The drifted echo of a memory, There's hist'ry in the feeble voices where We hear the tremor of a treble key. There's hist'ry in the deafened ear now dead But from which key the sounder has never fled There's hist'ry in the blinded eye now sealed To every beauty that today we see, But to which vision there is yet revealed The deadly flash of powder's misery. There's hist'ry in the armless sleeve that hangs In token of a great and bitter strife, Where hearts are keyed to stoic all the pangs Of pain that drains the stream of human life. There's hist'ry in the legless panta-loon, The shrouded mem'ry of a sacred past, Where many noble hearts feel in the swoon That hushes out the scream of trumpet blast. Their history in the trembling, shattered nerves, That dangle with an age-wrought quickened breath, A token of the ebbing life that serves As souv'nir from the crucible of death. Here rest the shrouds of many a blasted hope Of fond ambition's dreams of longing crave. And here the stars of many a heroscope Are fading in the twilight of the grave. Perhaps, here rests some youth's cherished dream Lies sacrificed to every light unfurled. But in the blessed book of human life, Where every deed proclaims its portioned place, These sacred remnants of a nation's strife Stand e'er an honor to the human race. —By Lucian B.
