SO DOES ARKANSAS. RED HANDED MURDER. THE NEGRO SOLDIER AND THE BLACK DOG A NEW ISSUE. VOL. XVI. THE MO ILLINOIS GRAND JURY AC RED HANDED MURDER AND THE BLACK D THE AWAKENING. This paper has been giving close attention to the recent lynchings, and the efforts put forth by the civil authorities to suppress lawlessness. We have called attention to the Cairo riot and the appointing of a grand jury to "probe into the lawlessness" by the district judge. We have watched carefully for the findings of this investigation, to note how far those in favor of law and order would go to suppress this "the most heinous of civic crimes." It seems from the meager reports we have been able to find that the public is to be congratulated that there are some honest men in Cairo. The jury found twelve men against whom true bills were returned. The jury also hands out a severe criticism of Sheriff Nellis because he failed to call upon the city authorities for help and in the same breath excused the inactivity and actual negligence of the militia for failing to promptly respond to orders. Although somewhat mixed, the findings were a pleasing surprise and should be restraining influences to future misconduct. Much of the beneficial effect of this movement at Cairo is due to the very strenuous efforts to suppress mob violence put forth by Illinois governor and the manner in which he deals with officials who allow mobs to take prisoners or destroy public property. Much of the pleasure our people may derive from a knowledge of the work and finings of the Illinois grand jury is lost in the reports coming up from Arkansas. Down in the land of Jeff Davis a Negro was on trial for a petty crime in a Justice Court. He was a man of some prominence among his people. In giving his testimony he is reported to have said that he was "as good as any white man." On leaving the court in the custody of an officer a posse of white citizens "quietly took him from the officer and hung him," because he had presumed to declare himself the equal of any white man. These men were unmasked and are well known citizens of their town. Nothing has been done to punish those red-handed murderers. Here is absolute evidence of a conniving of public officials in the crime. The victim is not a "vile, burly, black brute," guilty of every crime in the catalogue, but a man who has been a good citizen—whose frugality and industry has added to the public good as well as his private wealth. The question very naturally comes to the intelligent and honest Negro. Is there safety from the mob anywhere? Against such flagrant violations thousands of good citizens stand ready and willing to act, but the lack of leadership and the lukewarm and indifferent conduct of public officials renders powerless the possible efforts of these people. But a time will come, just as it came when slavery ruled the land, that patience and servile acquiescence will case to be a virtue, and then—let us pray. BROWNVILLE AGAIN. The enforced retirement of Senator Foraker removed from the United States Senate the strongest champion of the "black soldier boys" arbitrarily discharged by President Roosevelt. Very little is heard these days about the "shooting up" of Brownsville, but nevertheless an investigation has been going on, and will continue until the committee is able to establish to their satisfaction, at least, that the Negro soldiers "shot up" the town. The committee has been conducting a "gum shoe" campaign that makes Senator Stone of Missouri turn green with envy. Only now and then does something come to the surface, and then only when something "dark" has been formed. Now they have found a black dog, and this time it was positively seen by "Mr. and Mrs. Odin" as the raiders went through Cowan alley, but it was described as a "large black dog" and not positively identified as belonging to Company B. But the astute Captain Howland, Recorder of the Court of Inquiry, very readily declares that the dog belonged to the soldiers of B Company; and therefore, the Negro soldiers are guilty. Not another scintilla of proof is needed. Great man this Captain; he reflects great credit on the military branch, but reasons with the facility of a bone head. It is very evident that the purpose of the Court is not to find State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO Z JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, the truth about the Brownsville affair, as it is to fasten the guilt officially on the Negro soldiers, thereby vindicating the hasty action of the late Mr. Roosevelt. But it will require more than a dog. A NEW ISSUE. The most interesting fight before the people of Denver just now is the move to make this a dry town. It promises to eclipse the long drawn out water fight and municipal ownership campaign. Just what the result will be is pretty hard to say. The business interest and future progress of the city demands that these various questions be settled at once and avoid the litigation that undoubtedly will follow. The effort to make Denver dry at this time will be abortive. The many thousands of dollars directly invested in the business and the vast sum paid to labor each month will be found to be a pretty hard proposition. Then, too, coming at this time, when the interest and energies of the people are bound up in a solution of the vexatious water question, the effort may die a-borning. CONCERNING THE ELIMINATION OF THE NEGRO. As Regards the Proposition That the Negro Should Be Eliminated From Politics. Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional Library, who by long years of patient study has placed himself in the very front rank of authorities on all questions affecting the progress of the Negro, recently published in the Washington Star, an exhaustive review of the attitude of foreign nations on the question of their Negro citizens, and the means they adopted to solve such questions in a spirit of justice to all elements of their people. The methods of rule and pacification adopted by England towards the mixed races of the Island of Mauritius and her West Indies possessions and of France in Guadaloupe and Martinique are cited as forcible examples of what can be done with such problems when there is a real spirit and intention to equalize the benefits and accomplish the permanent uplift of all classes of the people. The article traces in an interesting way the rise and progress of the Negro during his forty-eight years of freedom; his loyalty and devotion to the flag and to Republican principles; his advance along civic and educational lines and asks, "Will the majority of the American people be willing to do this injustice to their faithful ally?" Mr. Murray very logically suggests that if France and England can devise a modus vivendi along --- this line, certainly the United States can and ought to do no less. As a means of solving the much-vexed question the proposition is advanced that a commission of seven be created—four white and three colored—two white and one colored from the South, two white and one colored from the North, and one colored from the country at large. This commission to be empowered to visit the countries which have been similarly agitated over questions of color and citizenship; note the methods employed for the attainment and preservation of such relations as make for peace and good will and make such observations the basis of a report as to how "peace with honor" may be secured in the United States between her citizens of different color. Such a proposition upon first thought appears ingenious, but in the light of calm reason, carries no direct appeal and seems neither reasonable nor plausible. If the question were the disposition of some unknown, irrelevant or unassimilable quantity, such a proposition would doubtless be highly commendable, but as to the American Negro, it is simply proposterous. Indeed such a recommendation seems rather to insist, as many would have us believe, that the "problem" is insolvable, for on the face of it it is apparent, the equity of action, thought and esteem, which go to regulate the relations of individuals as well as races, rests with the people, with all the people, both individually and collectively. The heart and conscience of the people and they alone must adjust this matter and the only effective commissioner will be that which comes from the Ancient of Days to show man his duty to fellow man and to point the way from out the darkness of selfish bigotry into the sunlight of a human brotherhood. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. The following clipping is from the Avalanche, Glenwood Springs: Please permit me to say, through the columns of your paper, that the report being circulated by some irresponsible party or parties that I contemplate getting married, is false in every respect. I hold myself and the welfare of my children too highly to attempt to bring disgrace upon them. MRS. C. BROWN. Swauvall. In the sense in which Sir William Harcourt remarked "We are all socialists now," it may be said that all Anglo-Indians are believers in Swadeshi While all reasonable Anglo-Indians deprecate the senseless agitation and the unsound economics of the extremist advocates of Swadeshi principles they are all anxious to assist that natural development of indigenous industries and the creation of new ones upon which the future prosperity of the country so largely depends.—Ploeer Mall. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Larchenstein, a mulatto in England, posing as the member of the Vanderbilt family, sold bogus jewelry to Prince Francis of Braganza for $1,525,000, and did nearly as well with many other of the European nobility with whom he has long hobnobbed. E. T. Barbour, one of the most learned lawyers in Oklahoma, though he is a Negro, and despite the fact that he had several white competitors, was elected special judge of Canadian county by the forty-four members of the El Reno bar. And they say Mr. Barbour didn't even have a close shave. We learn from the Southwestern Christian Advocate that arrangements have been completed whereby Liberia will get a loan of nearly $3,500,000 besides large investments by business men; that Philadelphia bankers will open a bank there, with Mr. Fowler, one of the recent Commissioners to Liberia, as president. Plans are laid and arrangements completed for the building of an Orphans Home for Negro boys and girls at Jefferson Ridge Addition to Oklanoma City. The ground was donated by Capp Jefferson, a colored real estate man. This movement should receive the hearty co-operation of every Negro in the county.

Albany, N. Y., March 29. James C. Matthews, a prominent Negro attorney of this city, has been named executor and residuary NO. 30 legatee of the estate of the late Mary Birch Reid. The property is valued at over $125,000. Attorney Mathews had represented Mrs. Reid in legal matters for the past twenty-two years. The bequeaths amount to about $10,000. Mrs. Reid died suddenly at her home 156 Orange street, on January 5. She had lived there for 56 years and was in her eighty-fifth year. Westpoint, Ky., March 30. Rare presence of mind on the part of Clarence Douglas, a Negro boy aged 13, yesterday saved the life of 2-year-old Alice Purcell. The child ran upon the railroad track in front of the engine of a fast moving freight. The engineer reversed the lever and whistled the alarm, but the girl still continued toward the train. Women and men were terrified to the point of helplessness by the spectacle, but the boy rushed to the child, caught her up and jumped to safety just as the engine passed. New York, March 30.—The Catholic church in the United States started a great movement this week to raise $100,000 annually for mission work and education among the colored people. The Bishops of the church in the South are co operating with Rev. John E. Burke, director-general of the Catholic Board for Mission Work among the colored people. Cardinal Gibbons and other dignitaries of the church are strongly urging this movement for work among the colored people, and the Cardinal recently issued an appeal for the work. Baltimore, Md., March 30.—The twenty-fifth anniversary of the granting of the right to Negro lawyers to practice their profession in Maryland was celebrated last week. The first colored man to apply for the right to practice law in this state were James H. Wolff, now of Boston, Mass., and Charles S Taylor, now a resident of New York City. Their application for admission were denied in the lower courts on the ground that the laws of Maryland only permitted white men to practice law. This decision was upheld by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, the highest tribunal in the State. Everett J. Waring, now a practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, was the first colored man to be admitted to the bar in Maryland, his application being favorably passed upon October 10, 1885 Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

He was accused of appropriating $50,000 of the company's funds obtained by sale of stock to the crown prince of Germany and other German noblemen. Bank Robbers Get $2,000. Weldona. — The Weldona Valley State bank at this place was robbed of $2,000 in cash at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning when yeggmen blew open the safe with dynamite. Before the bank was robbed the depredators broke into the Union Pacific depot here and riffled the cash drawer but secured less than $1. The robbers made good their escape, although two suspects are under arrest at Wiggins. Extensive Boulevards. Denver.—A bill passed Tuesday night by the board of aldermen under suspension of rules will, when it becomes an ordinance, clear the way for beginning work on the six miles of parkway planned for the Montclair park district, which, when completed, will connect City park and Congress park with an elaborate system of 225-foot parked boulevards, the total cost of which will be about $695,000. Snake Farming in Weld. Greeley.—Having had the best of success in breeding snakes, Professor E. A. Adams, head of the museum of the State Normal school, will dig out the 100 garter, king and black snakes buried in the school grounds and turn them loose on the plains. The king snakes were brought from Kansas, where they proved their worth as destroyers of rattlers and will be turned loose in localities where rattlers abound. The black snake, like the king snake, is harmless, and will be raised to prey on gophers, which damage fields and reservoir embankments. School Children Physically Defective. Denver.—William R. Callicottte, superintendent of humane education for the State Bureau of Child and Animal Protection, says that as a conservative estimate fifty percent of the school children of Colorado are defective and that only half as many country school are defective as city school children. Eye trouble is the most prevalent among the defects found. Next comes throat trouble. Ear trouble usually goes with throat trouble, and under it come adenoids. WASHINGTON TELEGRAMMICS INDIANA ANXIOUS TO FURNISH BUILDING MATERIAL FOR NEW POSTOFFICE. MONDELL BILL AMENDED COLORADO HOMESTEADERS WHO HAVE FORFEITED CLAIMS GET ANOTHER CHANCE. Washington. — With Indiana Congressmen and an attorney busy in its behalf at Washington, the big Bedford, Ind., quarry is working hard to secure the contract for material for Denver's new federal building, and the Colorado delegation finds it has hard work cut out for it. The Senate will take up the railroad bill in earnest next Monday. Senator Elkins, in charge of the measure, gave notice Wednesday that immediately after the conclusion of the routine business on Monday he would ask to have the bill proceeded with and that the voting begin whenever it developed that no one was prepared to make a speech. When at 2 o'clock, as usual, Senator Elkins was about to ask that the railroad bill be temporarily laid aside because no one was prepared to speak upon it, Clapp interrupted with the suggested that Elkins would insure a better attendance of the senators,prompt speeches and more expeditious disposition of the bill by notifying the Senate that he would press the bill Thursday. Washington.—Through the effective work on the part of Representative John A. Martin the Mondell bill, granting new rights to homesteaders who have forfeited their claims, which passed the House, was amended to include entrymen on desert claims as well as on homesteads. Hundreds in Colorado who have been compelled to allow desert entries to lapse on account of the failure to obtain irrigation facilities will be directly benefited by the bill. Representative Mondell's bill came up Wednesday afternoon. Its author was somewhat reluctant to incorporate Martin's desert land amendment, for fear it would load the measure too heavily and cause its defeat. The measure provides that homestead and desert land entrymen who have forfeited claims previous to the time when the act shall be signed by the President, shall be allowed to again exercise their rights in taking up land. The bill yet has to be passed by the Senate. Senator Guggenheim Wednesday introduced six bills providing appropriations to acquire sites for public buildings in the following Colorado cities: Colorado City, $50,000; Durango, $12,000; Fort Morgan, $20,000; Glenwood Springs, $15,000; Montrose $15,000; Sterling, $15,000; also a bill appropriating $200,000 for erection o a public building upon a site already acquired by the city of Grand Junction. Washington. — President Taft has canceled his engagement to visit Indianapolis May 5. While no statement has been issued in regard to this decision it is believed to be the direct result of the events in the Indiana State Republican convention. Washington.—The election of a Socialist Mayor in Milwaukee by a plurality almost unprecedented in that city was the subject of much comment among members of Congress Wednesday, especially those from Wisconsin Leading Republicans were inclined to minimize the political importance of the result; some of them would not admit that it was really a Socialist victory. Democrats were generally noncommunicative on the subject. But the Wisconsin Representatives view it as momentous. One of the most prominent of these, forbidding quotation by name, went so far as to say that the election of the Socialist mayor might mean the election of two Socialist congressmen from Wisconsin this fall. Washington.—Tentative agreements looking toward the ending of the coal and steel strikes in Pennsylvania, which have thrown thousands out of employment, were discussed at conferences here Wednesday participated in by H. C. Frick, Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, President McArdle of the Amalgamated Steel Workers, and other labor leaders. The result of the conference practically will assure the settlement of the coal strike, and the steel workers and officers of the United States Steel Corporation were drawn closer together, with prospects of an ending of difficulties soon. Immigration to Canada. Ottawa, Ont.—The immigration department reports that according to present indications, fully 150,000 Americans will settle in Canada this year, principally farmers from the western states.

I had a dull pain in the small of my back that completely wore me out. The urine was in a terrible state, and some days I would pass half a gallon of blood. I left the hospital because they wanted to operate on me. I went to St. Joseph's Hospital at Omaha and put in three months there without any gain. I was pretty well discouraged when I was advised to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so and by the time I had taken one box, the pain in the back left me.

National Tuberculosis Sunday. Present indications point to a general observance of National Tuberculosis Sunday in more than 200,000 churches of the country on April 24. Reports from heads of local anti-tuberculosis associations, health officers, pastors, mayors, governors, and numerous interdenominational bodies show much enthusiasm over the movement. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has prepared an outline for a tuberculosis sermon for use on April 24, which will be sent free of charge to any clergyman applying at 105 East Twenty-second street, New York. Thousands of these outlines are being sent out weekly to all parts of the country. Prominent churchmen, including bishops and heads of all the leading denominations, have expressed their approval of the movement. A Terrible Risk. Typhoid had broken out in their neighborhood and the family resorted to travel as the best means of precaution until the trouble should subside. They arrived at Quebec by the morning boat, intending to take it to Montreal in the evening, but the sight-seers got tired and returned early in the afternoon to find the top of the smoke stack on a level with the deck, the tide having dropped 18 feet. "Mamma," cried the little girl, "did God drink up all that water?" "Yes, my child." "Then hadn't we better tell him it wasn't boiled?" Look to Welfare of Workmen. A significant phase of the campaign against tuberculosis in Sweden is the establishment by various industrial concerns, of sanatoria for tuberculous workmen from their own factories. The Vulcan Match Company, the Ljusne-Voxne Timber Company, the Sandviken Hardware Company, the Eriksson Telephone Company and the Stora Kopparsberg Company are among those who maintain such institutions, each accommodating from 15 to 30 patients. At these sanatoria the workmen are received free, and their families may be admitted for a small charge. Alas. A little five-year-old who had been watching her mother dress for an evening entertainment surprised her mother with the following question: "Mother, didn't you say you were almost 40 years old?" "Yes," replied the mother. "Well," answered the little girl, "you don't look it to-night, but you will to-morrow morning."—Judge. Progress. Knicker—Now we have children taught how to play. Bocker—Fine; next we shall have animal trainers to show lambs how to gambol. ROSY COLOR Produced by Postum. "When a person rises from each meal with a ringing in the ears and a general sense of nervousness, it is a common habit to charge it to a deranged stomach. "I found it was caused from drinking coffee, which I never suspected for a long time, but found by leaving of coffee that the disagreeable feelings went away. "I was brought to think of the subject by getting some Postum and this brought me out of trouble. "It is a most appetizing and invigorating beverage and has been of such great benefit to me that I naturally speak of it from time to time as opportunity offers. "A lady friend complained to me that she had tried Postum, but it did not taste good. In reply to my question she said she guesed she boiled it about ten minutes. I advised her to follow directions and know that she boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and she would have something worth talking about. A short time ago I heard one of her children say that they were drinking Postum now-a-days, so I judge she succeeded in making it good, which is by no means a difficult task. "The son of one of my friends was formerly a pale lad, but since he has been drinking Postum, has a fine color. There is plenty of evidence that Postum actually does 'make red blood," as the famous trade-mark says." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in nkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter!

GUGGENHEIM BILL PASSES SENATE IMPORTANT TO COLORADO—IN CREASE FROM FOREST RESERVES $25,000 OR MORE. SCHOOLS AND ROADS SCHOOLS AND ROADS PORTY-TWO OUT OF 60 COLORADO COUNTIES ARE IN THE NATIONAL FOREST ZONE. Washington.—Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado has secured an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill to increase from 25 per cent to 35 per cent the moneys to be paid to the states and territories, out of the receipts of their respective forest reserves, to be expended for roads and schools, under the direction of the legislatures, in the counties in which the reserves are located. This amendment passed the Senate and the bill is now in conference. The senator has strong hopes that it will be agreed to. This is quite an important item so far as Colorado is concerned. In 1907 the amount received by Colorado from grazing permits, sale of timber, etc., from its forest reserves was $15,791.67—under the law at that time the state received but 10 per cent. of the receipts. In 1908 the amount was increased by law to 25 per cent., and Colorado received $50., $55.67 in 1908, and $59,761.28 in 1909. If Senator Guggenheim's amendment increasing the amounts from 25 per cent. to 35 per cent. is finally adopted, it will mean an increase over the present amounts received of 40 per cent., or almost $25,000 a year more. The amounts paid to the states and territories from the receipts of their forest reserves for the years 1907, 1908 and 1909, were as follows: 1907 (10 per cent.) $153,032.19; 1908 (25 per cent.) $447,063.79; 1909 (25 per cent.) $444,379.00. Under Senator Guggenheim's amendment it would be figured on last year's receipts, $622,130, or $177,751 more than the amount paid this year. On June 30th, there were included within the forest reserves of the United States, after deducting not only lands actually alienated through the issuance of patent or final certificate, but also claims entered or pending, insofar as they were known to the Forest Service through notification from the general land office. 145,541,222 acres, or about 227,408 square miles; an area larger than the entire New England states, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Ohio combined—the total area of these states being but 214,683 square miles. Of the total area of forest reserves in the United States, all but 2,774 square miles thereof lies west of the 104th principal meridian. Of the entire area of Colorado over $23\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. is within national forest boundaries; in California almost 28 per cent.; in Arizona, 21 per cent.; Idaho, 37 per cent.; Montana, 22 per cent.; Nevada, 7 per cent.; New Mexico, 14 per cent.; Oregon, almost 27 per cent.; in Utah, 14 per cent.; in Washington, 28 per cent., and in Wyoming, $14\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. Out of sixty counties in the state of Colorado, forty-two of them lie partly or wholly within the national forests. All of the eighteen counties not within the reserves are plains counties, and never had any timber on them; the cultivation of their soil being entirely dependent upon irrigation or by dry farming methods. The counties lying wholly without the national forests in Colorado contain 37 per cent. of the land surface of the state and 44 per cent. of its population. While it is true that the lands included in forest reservations are not taxable by the state for any purpose, the progress of settlement is impeded in these sections; meas of communication are often hampered; the burdens of the state and of the counties are increased, without any ample return from the government—its lands not paying taxes, not being occupied, nor permitted to be used by the people. The amendment increasing the amount to be paid out of the proceeds of forest reserves from 25 per cent, to 35 per cent, would seem like a very inadequate return for the withdrawal from use and settlement, but on the other hand it will be of great benefit to the people of the state in that it is expended in the building of roads which should endure for ages, and for the building of schools and for school purposes. As good roads has become the slogan, this is a means to build through Colorado's mountains highways which should be as much traveled in a few years hence by travelers who come to see the "American Alps," as are their counterparts in Europe. "Schools and roads have been this nation's greatest civilizers," said Senator Guggenheim, speaking of this bill. "Without these conservators of intelligence and communication we might still be trading wampum and eating raw fish and buffalo meat, and the conservation of our resources would be but an idle dream. Every school house and every road in this country is an asset that cannot be measured in dollars and every means that can be used to multiply them and to extend their usefulness adds to the moral and material well being of our people. The stomach is a larger factor in "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" than most people are aware. Patriotism can withstand hunger but not dyspepsia.

Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it comes to his own table. He feeds his stock carefully, avoids over-feeding and selects the stock food that he believes will give the best returns in strength and general efficiency. If he has been watching the extensive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Oats." Quaker Oats is mentioned because it is recognized in this country and Europe as the best of all oatmeals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else. 61 IN DOUBT. Jinks—That chap that wrote a historical novel forged a note. Now he's in jail. Blinks—What was he convicted for? Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollar and fifty cents' worth of material will completely transform a crude, inartistic room into a graceful, dainty apartment. Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike. That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money. Wall paper is expensive—it costs money to buy it, to hang it and again to remove it. With the use of the alabastone wall there is only the slight cost of the material—any one can brush it on—and it is not necessary to wash it off the wall when a new coat is required. It is very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but the results are simply beautiful. A whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of a single room when ordinary materials are used. And this is true, that now that we have so much better materials for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as old ones and rough hewn floors. More money is no longer an essential in good housefurnishing in artistic home making. The new materials and labor-saving machines are most welcome to us all—and every thoughtful woman, every woman cares for her home, is quick to utilize them. In Demand.

A. CONGRESS ATTIC SEARCH RE- VEALS RARE LETTERS. Missive In Which First President's Wife Consented to Removal of Hie Body Found—Mrs, Lincoin’s Letter. In an unlighted and cobwebbed cor- ner of the attle of the house of rep- resentatives, in Washington, cov- oy ered with dust = and yellow and fare falling to pieces bs : from age, the ffitteAtaAit] | house committee Gia te on accounts has rescued a large It number of letters | ey 7] And documents of oe 17) the early days of _———————7 }the republic, pa) QR RAMI A) which are of the greatest historic i Co OD _ 7 eS SCL ‘value. Among them are letters from ‘Washington, Jefferson, Lafayette, Jay, ‘Monroe and many others. | To two of them a peculiar, sentl- mental interest attaches. These are letters written by Martha Washington and Mary Todd Lincoln, the former concerning the proposed removal of the body of her husband from Mount Vernon to a crypt in the capitol, and the other applying to the govern: ment for a pension. Both are ad- dressed to the speaker of the house. "The house has voted an appropria- tion of $2,500 to have these historic papers cared for and deposited in the ‘Library of Congress as the house of representatives’ collection. The two letters read as follows: To the Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives: Sir: While I feel the keenest anguish over the late dispensation of Divine Prov- fdence I cannot’ be Insensible of the mournful tributes, respect and venera~ tion which are paid the memory of my dear deceased husband.

Hamilton Fish of New York is a new member of congress, for else he would not talk in this way: “I would like to see a map showing how much ‘pork’ for his district each member is getting out of that river and har- bor barrel. I observed that all our regu- lar watchdogs, like Tawney, Mann and Macon, were entirely silent while de- bate on this bill was cut off and the thing rushed through. It is remark- able how this bill was reported to the house Friday and by special arrange- ment rushed to consideration Monday with only two hours’ general debate allowed on it. I don't remember just how many hours we devoted the other day to the matter of making a little appropriation of $6,000 for an art com- mission for the District of Columbia, but here was a measure appropriating $42,000,000 and committing the gov- ernment to the payment of untold millions more, and we are allowed only two hours’ debate on it.” fnoornorating Diéad Men: “Without batting an eye or turning a hair” the senate passed two bills, one incorporating the “American ‘Academy of Art and Letters,” and the other incorporating the “National In- stitute of Arts and Letters.” Without regard to the fact that the bills con- tained the names of a dozen dead men, they were pushed through just as they were introduced two years ago. ‘The house committee has amended the bills by striking out the names of the dead men. ie ae = “Ee More Pay for Postmen. It fs expected that an effort will be made by many members .of congress to increase the salaries of postoffice clerks in different part of the country, and also to increase the salaries of rural carriers so as to make them fairly compensatory for the labor the carriers perform. STORIES ABOUT BROWNLOW ‘Congressmen Talk About Tennesee. | an's Methods of Getting “Pork” for His District. A group of congressmen were talk ing about what each had “snaffied oft” in the way of “pork” in the river and harbor Dill. “Oh, well,” remarked Maynard of the Norfolk, Va., district, “T haven't got so very much"—he had been accused of a big grab—“think what Brownlow would have taken had he been in my place.” “But Brownlow haa only drops of water where you have barrels,” was the reply of one man. “Brownlow works steadily, and surely, taking an average of $5,000 a day for his district all the time he fs in congress, Brown- low has every cemetery in east Ten- nessee in charge, and its keeping pald by the government.” “Do you remember,” asked another member “the day he worked Andrew Johnson's grave off on us? He cried a bit and laughed a little, but we passed his bill, and the only prest- dent's grave which is in the care and keeping of the United States is that of Andrew Johnson. The graves of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lin- coln and Grant are not under the care of the United States. Johnson would not have been so honored if Brown- low had not gone after it. He has a way of getting what he wants.” “One day in the committee on ap- propriations,” said Madden of Illinois, “the subject of building new White House stables came up. Roosevelt was anxious about it and had let the committee know his views. “‘Tm for it,’ said Brownlow, ‘and what's more, I want the finest stables that can be built put up and paid for. As things look now, about as close to the White House as I ever will get is the stables, and I want them fixed up comfortable so I can have a good place to stay.’” ‘ROOT MAINTAINED DIGNITY New York Senator Stopped Collection of Fund in Senate to Make a Present. You who work in offices know how you feel when a fellow worker comes to you with a slip of paper and says, “Put down your name. Only quar- ter, half dollar, dollar, anything will do.” You frown and ask, “What's this?” “Wedding present for Bill. Bill's going to be married next week. Got to give him something you know.” So you, grudgingly, give the least amount you think you can get by with. Of course, the emotion in the chest of Senator Root wasn't precisely this when he blocked Senator Gore's little token of esteem game in Washington recently. Gore had started a petition in the senate to raise money to pur- chase a parting gift for Senator Gor- don, who goes back to Mississippi, after serving 60 days in the senate. Pages flew hither and yon. One came to Root. Root was there with the “What's this?” query, all right. He was almost amazed when he was in- formed; he was not entirely amazed for the reason that that's not his way. But he frowned beneath his bangs. ‘Then he sent a page to Senator Gore with a polite squelch for immediate delivery. The blind senator called off his party. “Senate's too dignified a body for anything like that,” was Root’s idea. DOLLIVER A FAMILY MAN Senior lowa Senator Is a Person of Strong Domestic Leanings— Senator Dolliver of Iowa is a person with strong domestic leanings. He participated in a little incident in the senate elevator the other afternoon that would haye gladdened Roosevelt's heart. The elevator was pretty well crowded when the senator came hustling down the corridor, “shooing” four children ahead of him. They must have started at about the age of four and stopped at the age of nine “AIL yours?” asked another senator. “You bet!” sald Dolliver. “This one here”—he indicated a pretty child— the littlest—“1s the one that played havoc with your walnut sweets.” “Well, I declare,” said Senator No, 2, and he leaned over and put a ques- tion to her in baby talk. She only hung her head till the ele- vator reached the senate floor, ‘Then Dolliver “‘shooed” her and the others out into that corridor. ie Res et at ee ee Ree It seems that Washington has been harboring a snug little nest of coun- terfeiters for some time. The money that has been passing about the city has fallen into the hands usually of newsboys, fruit dealers and that class of easiest prey to’deceive with smal! change. The dimes and nickels are so crudely stamped that they ought not to deceive a child, and yet it is thought that the passage of this class of counterfeit money had _ reached large proportions. Several Italians have been arrested. Red Tops and Copper Toes. W. J. Eaton of St. Louis bemoans the fact that things are not as they used to be. “When I was a boy,” he said to a Washington reporter, “we spoke of a person's being ‘as happy as a boy with a pair of red-top boots,’ but they don’t make red-top boots any more, such as were the pride of boys in the sixties and _ seventies. Youngsters in my generation exulted when they had a pair of red-@p boots with copper toes. Such boots made great Christmas gifts for boys.” Color more goods brighter and fxster colors than any other dye. One 10c package colors all fibers.

Illimolme ONE OF ADAM’S TROUBLES Incident in the Garden of Eden That Must Be Taken for What It Is Worth, Rev. Dr. Charles Townsend of Orange was one of the speakers at the Park Presbyterian Church Men's club banquet last week, and told this story of one of the'troubles of the original “Adam had eaten the elaborate re- past furnished by his helpmeet with every indication that he relished each morsel. He complimented her upon the dainty manner in which the blue- points were served, the flavor of the puree of pea, the seasoning of the fish and entree, and finally reached a de- Helous salad. Adam paused, and with a worried look on his face he de- manded of Eve where she found the ingredients, She enumerated all ex- cept the lettuce, _ “*Where did you get those leaves?” he demanded. “Why, they were lying on a bush In the back yard,’ she replied, sweetly. “*Well, those were my best Sunday trousers,’ sobbed Adam, adding, ‘Ah, woe is man,’ which was corrupted into ‘woman,’ the term by which we know i Bve's daughters.”—Newark Star. BABY’S SKIN TORTURE “When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health ‘wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. “Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but {t never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else’s little ones suffering and also their pocket-books.

There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of illness ere not due to any actual disease, but simply to a consti- pated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, promptly removes. That is why itis the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed: so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that it is the only remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is, therefore, all-im- portant, in order to get its beneficial effects, to purchase and note that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual constipa- tion permanently, also biliousness and the many ills resulting therefrom. The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they fail to act when asingle dose is taken, but that they act too violently and invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the ladies find it delightful and beneficial whenever a laxative remedy is needed, and business men pronounce it invaluable, as it may be taken without interfering with business and does not gripe nor nauseate.

They are filled with an army of women choosing from be- wildering varieties of the flowers and feathers and laces, the airy fabrics and lustrous ribbons and all the other decorative materials with which they intend to clothe the heads of their patrons. These enterprising women have found a world of blossoms this season, wherein all the flowers of the garden and those of the field have been faith- fully copied in muslin or silk or tulle. No other trimming is shown in such profusion and hats are really flower laden. The blossoms are arranged in masses over the crowns, in wreaths and bandeau and in smart standing aigrette effects. Often they are light- ly swathed in tulle which covers them in swirls or soft puffs. This redeems the masses of flowers from a too heavy appearance. The shapes on which such a pro ~—~—~———<=<—<»<»s sss > SIMPLE STYLE FOR HATPIN Utility More Than Ornament Is the Idea in This Millinery Accessory. Nowadays the hatpin is an {mpor- tant millinery accessory, and cleverly combines beauty with utility in an al- most unfeminine way. So important is this little ornament that the only trimming on a large shape will be jeweled disks that are very satisfying to the woman who aims at elegant simplicity. Besides the huge round forms there are long cylindrical pins studded with Jewels; there are conventional forms that hint of the orfent in their color- Ing; there are pins that offer sugges. tions of home manufacture, for bro- cade, tapestry and linen are the ma. terfals used. One little shop in Parts has shown pins with tops of straw of raffia, woven to match the hats with which these novelties are to be worn. In another milliner’s, lace flowers are used to cover the Dresden silk cushion, These are extremely pretty with the tulle turbans and large lace. trimmed straws. ‘The Frenchwoman insists upon hat. pin sets that are kept with their re spentive shapes, and on no occasion will fhe disks be used to fasten the wrong hat on her head. It is just one more evidence of her attention to the little details that combine to create a harmonious whole. PR oe ee ee Black and dark silk and satin spencers are being worn just now with white day-time gowns. ‘The gowns are of all sorts, linens, pongees and wools. ‘The abbreviated little coats or waists are natty affairs. They are straight across the back, and of any shape just above the waist line that fancy prescribes. Many of the new ones are pointed at the front, and finished with quaint pinked ruches, plaited or shirred. Fastening at Shoulder. There has come about a wide return to blouses that fasten across one shoulder or both. In the latter case there is no fastening under the arm. ‘The opening !s straight across the top, and the garment goes over the head lke a sweater. It is then fastened down each shoulder seam with small ‘Joops of braid and crochet buttons. . arse ee |fusion of flower trimming is shown, vary in style and in size from the ‘small close-fitting oriental turban to ‘the largest of picture hats. The sum- ‘mer girl will delight in the wide brims and flowing lines with masses of blossoms, and she will bring down Sosstngs and other things upon her pretty head when she takes up more space than really belongs to her. But | whoever saw too many flowers? The | summer girl is sure to be forgiven, no ae to what extremes she goes— and she knows it. | These large shapes are not pretty when made in any other than the lightest weight straws or in hair braids. Hemp has come to be most popular, and hair-braid hats are al: ways good style and “classy.” ‘The smaller hats are nearly all made of braids. These are so light in weight that they are sewed into plaques or squares and draped as easily as if they were cloth. For the turban shapes the trimming s placed in smart-standing effects and there are numbers of grass and flower sprays made up for the purpose of trimming them. OO |VELVET IDEA IN MILLINERY Variety of Shades as Best Adapted to the Various Designs and Colorings. Broad blue ribbon velvet of a dull but glorious shade is snappy on light straw. Velvet facings in heavy black cover the whole crown and brim of leg horn, leaving only the under facing o} the braid. Cabachons of platted ribbon velvet are the tailored touch demanded ot the rough-and-ready walking hat. No evidence as yet that last season's hearse-like velvet hat will predominate during the warmest weather, Narrow facings of velvet on brims and beneath them cover only a part o} the straw. When big velvet bows are used they are wired and alternated with maline bows to give delicacy. Light blue loops of two-inch ribbor yelvet are mixed with forget-me-nots on a flower-crowned model. Crvatat Buatee in Leevial. It is said on very good authority that many of the newest evening gowns are to be trimmed with crystai bugles to the exclusion of the multi colored effects in vogue during the past winter. ‘This change is quite the natural or der of things, for crystal bugles are really very summery, and they wil reflect the changeable qualities of the newest silks, giving them a gossamer look, as though they were made oj some dream stuff. This result is espe cially sulted to the debutante, whc usually makes her first sem!-formal ap pearance during the summer. French Gloves, ‘The Parisian tinted glove is with us whether we will or not. We may pich it up or lay it down, but it has beer sent to our shores in tones to match the most elaborate gowns. It is doubtful of acceptance at the hands of fair Americans, although Parisian women pull {t on with gusto New Spring Color. Chantecler is one of the new spring colors. Probably an attempt to copy ‘the brilliant purple pink of the cox comb gave this color its right to the ‘name of Rostand’s shade that prom sane to take New York by storm.
