THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Speaks Against Mob Law Judge Callaway Deplores Existence of Lawlessness in Georgia. Says that State Leads Whole British Empire for Homicides. Popular Rule in Danger. VOL. XVI. Speaks A Judge Callaway Deplores E Georgia. Says that Sta Empire for Homicides. Athens, Ga., June 28.—The winds are East down here in "Good Ole Georgia" these days. The genius of plain talk is let loose and everywhere the sons of the Empire state of the South have grown rather thoughtful. Her latest appearance or thrust-in was made the other day in the halls of Georgia State University. Speaking to the alumni society of this university Judge E. H. Callaway of Augusta regaled his audience with harsh truths like these: "The existence of mob law in the North and West does not make it less heinous in the South. In Georgia only one murderer out of every hundred is punished. In the course of twelve months she (Georgia) records forty-five more homicides than the whole British Empire." Lynchings No Longer Shock Public Conscience. After giving his audience a moment to take breath by deploring that the American banker and jeweler had to employ special detectives and guards for their property, Judge Callaway renewed his compliments to Georgia by saying: "I have not the statistics of murders commonly called lynchings and I am glad that I have not, for I am afraid Georgia might show an unenviable rank in the list. Mob violence has become such frenquent occurrences that the masses of our people seem to look on with complacency. The time was not long when an outbreak of mob violence shocked the public conscience, found few apologists and was severely criticised in the newspapers, but now having grown more familiar with these outrages against government, law and society, they cease to shock, and the newspapers, which do not apologize for the mob boldly approve of its actions." What Mob Law Did in Georgia Referring to the recent railroad strike, the judge said, "Mobs in Augusta and Atlanta stopped the operation of all trains for nearly a week by violent attacks upon the trains and especially upon the Negro firemen. While this state of anarchy reigned, the entire state government with all its officers and soldiers, preserved a strict neutrality and had not the Federal government intervened for the pro- tection of the mails and interstate commerce, no one can tell how long this public service corporation would have been kept out of commission. Judge Callaway then shifted his attention to other examples of lawlessness. He attacked the laborers who dictate to their employers and the employers' trusts, who dictate to the laborers; the sale of whiskey in spite of the law of prohibition and the carrying of concealed waepons. All these were charged against the state as weakness of government. He said the mob's violence for action is the government's inaction, that whatever obedience there may be to our state laws is wholly voluntary and not from fear or respect of the law. States Warned to Look Sharp to Comparing the efficiency of the state government with Federal government the judge closed with a warning to the states to look sharp to their office, saying that those who violate the laws of Congress are hunted down with a relentless pursuit until they are captured, and then they are tried in a court where the government has an even chance with the accused, and where numerous devices and technicalities for their escape have not been provided. Nothing has created more thought and discussion in this part of the state for many years. The fact that all Judge Callaway said was true make Athenians generally and the university men especially feel that there is high time for reform in Georgia.

The American Economic Association has estimated the value of property owned by Negroes in 1900 at $300,000,000 and the New York World ventures the prediction that the census now taking will show Negroes of the United States to own property worth $500,000,000. The economic advances made by the Negroes have been rapid. In 1900 Georgia Negroes had assessed property to the amount of $14,118,720. This had grown to $27,042,672 a gain of 91 per cent. by 1908. In Virginia there has been an increase from $12,856,570 to $25,828,336, or a gain of 62 per cent. In North Carolina there was a gain of 123 per cent, or from $9,478,399 to $21,253,581. The Negroes of the south have every encouragement to be thrifty and enterprising. Their prosperity enhances the prosperity of the entire country. There is a wide field of industry open to them and relatively little jealousy between whites and blacks in any occupation or calling. COLORED MAN FOR COLLEC TORSHIP OF GEORGETOWN Coincident with the failure of Sidney Bieber's confirmation as Collector for the Port of Georgetown comes the report that a colored man will be given this important post. Just who this colored man will be is not yet definitely known. The person who gets the place, however, is not of so much concern to us as is the fact that this new office is about to be given to a colored man. We say new because it has not been occupied by a colored man. If the President decides to recognize a colored man for this post, just now, it will no doubt be highly appreciated by the colored people in general, and will further demonstrate his friendly attitude toward the race, and his purpose to give them consideration in the matter of appointment to federal positions.—Washington American. TWO COLORED GRADUATES FROM HARVARD CLASS 1910. T. Montgomery Gregory, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Monroe Gregory, of Bordentown, N. J., graduated from Harvard College with the degree of A. B., on Wednesday. His mark was made in college as a debater and speaker. He won prizes for oratory as freshman and as junior and was one of the collegiate debaters for Harvard as against Yale, his team defeating Yale. He was elected an officer of the associated Harvard debating club. Among those who received the degree of doctor of medicine at the Harvard Medical school was Alexander Bismark Terrell of Ft. Worth, Texas. He was graduated from the Fort Wortn High School of which his father is principal in 1903, and received his S. B. degree from University of Chicago in 1907. The fall of 1907, he entered Harvard Medical school. NEGRO INFERIOR NO MORE SAYS UNIVERSITY TEACHER NEGRO INFERIOR NO MORE SAYS UNIVERSITY TEACHER Chicago, July 6.—Professor W. L. Hamilton of the University of California, lecturing before a class in sociology in the summer school of Northwestern university at Evanston today, declared that the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight proved to some extent that the Negro no longer belongs to an inferior race. "The Negro has made wonderful progress in the last fifty years," said Professor Hamilton, "and no longer can be called the white man's inferior. In art, music, literature, in warfare, business and physical development he has made phenomenal strides. The recent prize fight proves, to some extent, the truthfulness of the theory that the Negro is not an inferior race. "There is no scientific proof to show that the Negro sprang from a distinct root, according to the view of Professor Halle, the German savant, but all evidence tends to support the theory that he is simply a branch of the Caucasian race, the same as the Egyptian, the Moor and the Hindoo. "I believe that within 300 years the Negro will become extinct in America through the effects of intermarriage and climate conditions." It is time that our people were learning to conduct themselves properly in public! The prejudice is largely increased by their rough, rude, boisterous behavior in the streets, cars and other public places. They should drop some of their monkey shines unless they intend to reside in a jungle, and they can dispense with the rowdiness unless they consider themselves in training for the bad lands of Texas! Respectibility is what counts in these strenuous days of high civilization! Let us have some class!—Cincinnati Union. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES George W. Walker is now in New York City at his former residence, 52 W. 133rd street. Mr. Walker looks the picture of health but mentally he does not improve. Washington, June 27.—R. P. Faulkner, chairman of the American commission to Liberia, has been appointed agent for the Liberian Government in the negotiations for the refunding of the Liberian national debt. The last session of Congress appropriated $80,000 for a new heating-plant and the installation of electrical generating machinery for Freedmen's hospital and Howard University. The force of internes at the hospital is to be increased to ten, in view of the enlargement of the building and the staff of trained nurses will also be augmented. Trinidad, Colo., July 5.—Mrs. Julia Scott, colored, was killed instantly by her brother. Charles Murray, known to the police as "Babe." Celebrating the Johnson victory at a colored dance, he kept taking beer into the house, and when Mrs. Scott demonstrated with him, he drew a revolver and shot her before all the dancers. He fled to the brush, but at 5 o'clock was captured and taken to jail. Frankfort, Ky., June 20. The Court of Appeals last Friday decided unconstitutional and invalid the act of the last legislature providing that no Negro industrial school should be located in any precinct in the State unless the majority of the voters of that precinct voted for its location. The act was intended to prevent the location of the Lincoln Industrial Institute in Shelby County. Word comes from Quindaro, Kansas, that Dr. W. T. Vernon has resigned the presidency of the Western University, in consequence of his determination to remain in Washington as Register of the Treasury for another four years. Prof. Sheldon French, acting president, will continue as such until a successor to Dr. Vernon can be found. This mission is entrusted to the ministerial and educational wheel-horse, Bishop Abram Grant, President of board of trustees. NO.43 Oberlin, Ohio, June 28. At the class day exercises of Oberlin University last week Prof. A. S. Root stated that the policy of the university toward the Negro had not changed, and with the increased number of students Oberlin has shared in the general prejudice against the Negro. However, the agitation at Oberlin, Prof Root said, had been caused in a large degree by newspapers. The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama held a meeting last week in the rooms of the General Education Board, and among other things added to the board as trustees Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, and Charles E. Mason, of the firm of S. D. Warren & Co., Boston. The motion to elect Colonel Roosevelt as a trustee was made by W. W. Campbell, an Alabama banker and vicepresident of the board. Colonel Roosevelt has already signified his willingness to accept membership on the Tuskegee board. For the first time in the history of Brown University a colored student, Gough Decatur McDaniels of Baltimore, won the Gaston medal, the most valuable prize offered by the university, by his excellence of deliverery of his original oration, "A Plea for Liberia," at Manning Hall. The honor of winning the Gaston prize carried with it the right to deliver the same address at the annual Commencement exercises. The honor of winning the prize is one of the highest a Senior can obtain. McDaniels is one of the leading scholars of the senior class. He has been prominent in elocutionary contests since he entered college, and last year won the third prize in the Carpenter contest. He was born in Baltimore in 1886, was graduated from the Baltimore high school in 1906 and entered Brown in the fall of that year. The Gaston medal is bought from a fund of $3000 established in 1894 from a memorial to William Gaston, L. L. D., of the class of 1840, and is awarded annually to the member of the graduating class who delivers the best original oration in English. Grievance That Rankles. You can never make a woman believe that her neighbor has a right to have a runabout when she still owes her that cup of sugar she borrowed last spring. JOHNSON WINS FROM JEFFRIES BLACK MAN'S FIGHT AT ALL STAGES OF THE KNOCKOUT IN FIFTEENTH NOT NOW CONSIDERED "THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY." Reno, Nev.—John Arthur Johnson, the Texas negro, son of an American slave, is the first and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. James J. Jeffries, of California, winner of twenty-two championship fights, the man who never was brought to his knees before by a blow, tonight passed into history as a broken idol. He met utter defeat at the hands of the black champion. While Jeffries was not actually counted out, he was saved only from this crowning shame by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit the fallen man, and flinging the towel into the ring from his corner. At the end of the fifteenth round, Referee Tex Rickard raised the black arm and the great crowd filed out glum and silent. Jeff was dragged to his corner bleeding from nose and mouth and a dozen cuts on the face. He had a black, closed eye and swollen features and he held his head in his hands, dazed and incoherent.

Norfolk, Va., July 4.—Many negroes are in hospitals with broken heads and bruised bodies, following the riots as a result of the Reno fight. Three hundred sailors from a battleship in the harbor marched through the street. Practically every cell in the police headquarters is filled with negroes, sailors and young white citizens. Late Monday night a detachment of marines and sailors was hurried to the city and the situation was brought under control.

A series of lefts and rights to the jaw put Jeffries out. Earmer Jeffries Reno.—Jeffries, the pugilist, left camp early Monday afternoon. Jim Jeffries, farmer, returned. He will never enter the ring again. That was settled once and for all. The big man with the bruised face and downcast spirit was carried swiftly back from the ringside to the cottage where the last days of his training were carried through. He was still dazed and shaken when he climbed from the machine. He knew that he had been beaten, but of the way in which his defeat was accomplished he had no idea. Not a "Championship" Eight. Reno.—Ring experts agree that it was not even a championship fight. Jeffries had a chance in the second round, perhaps, but after the sixth it was plain that the undefeated one was weakening and out-classed in every point, and after the eleventh round it was hopeless. It was the greatest demonstration the ring has ever seen of the failure of a fighter to "come back" after years of retirement. The youth and science of the black man made Jeffries look like a green man. The great Jeffries was like a log. The reviled Johnson was like a black panther. Jack Johnson Saves: "I won from Mr. Jeffries because I outclassed him in every department of the fighting game. Before I entered the ring I was certain I would be the victor. I never changed my mind at any time." Jim Jeffries Says: "I lost my fight, but I did not have the snap of youth I used to have. I believed in my own heart that all the old-time dash was there, but when I started to execute, the speed and youthful stamina were lacking. The things I used to do were impossible." Three Blacks Hurt in Houston. Houston, Tex.-Disturbances broke out immediately Monday night on the announcement of the Johnson victory at Reno. Three negroes were badly hurt by white men inside an hour. Police were called to quell several minor disturbances. Charles Williams a negro, was a little too vociferous in announcing the outcome on a street car, and a white man slashed his throat from ear to ear. The negro almost bled to death before he reacned a hospital. Lynching Averted. Covington, Ky.-A lynching was narrowly averted here Monday evening shortly after the returns of the Jeffries-Johnson fight had been received, when police were summoned to disperse a mob of more than 1,000 persons and rescued John Rankin, a negro. Just previous to this Rankin had stabbed several white people, and entirely severed the nose from the face of Nathan Konler, a salesman. Order was finally restored by the officers. Colored Shouter for Jeff Killed. Chicago.—There were several riot calls sent in Monday night from that portion of the city inhabited by negroes. The most serious trouble was that which resulted in the fatal shooting of Mamie Smith, a young negro woman, by Joseph Yarborough. Despite the result of the fight at Reno, the Smith woman insisted that Jeffries was still the better man. This so angered Yarborough who lives in the same house, that he drew a revolver and shot the woman THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

Johnson the stalwart candidate, has defeated J. A. Buchanan, the insurgent candidate, for the nomination. Western railroads are considering the advisability of abolishing all reduced rate including colonist rates and making 2 cents the minimum for all travelers and all occasions. The movement is not a new one, but is the revival of a movement started over a year ago and considered on several occasions. Buck Plant, who recently escaped from the insane asylum at Parsons, Kan., went to the home of George Plant his father, at Hill City, Tuesday and crushed the old man's head with a hammer as he lay asleep. Plant then cut his father's throat from ear to ear. The other members of the family escaped. Manager H. H. Younger of the Palisade (Colo.) Fruit Growers' association has received notice from Traffic Manager Bush of the Colorado Midland of a reduction in freight rates on peaches, pears and apples to $1.25 per 100 pounds. This is the rate in California, and the reduction may have been a result of the passage of a law prohibiting higher charge for a "short" than for a "long" haul. The Rio Grande and the Eastern roads will make the same rate. The constitutionality of the reclamation act was upheld at San Francisco Tuesday by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which sustained the decision of the Idaho District Court in favor of the government in the case of David Burley against the United States. Burley contended that the act which permitted the government to condemn his lands and water for irrigation purposes was unconstitutional, on the ground that the water stored in the reservoirs sought to be taxed was not wholly for public use, but for private, as it was to be supplied private land owners by the government. The decision established the right of the secretary of the interior to acquire by condemnation or otherwise, lands and waters in the furtherance of any reclamation project. Should a sub-committee of the American Federation of Labor, which is meeting in Chicago to consider the application of the Western Federation of Miners, reject the proposed charter of affiliation presented at Washington to the executive council by Charles H. Moyer and Thomas E. Lewis on behalf of the Western Federation and the United Mine Workers of America, a consolidation of both organizations will be urged at the coming annual convention of the Western Federation, which meets in Denver July 18. It is understood that a consolidation of the coal and metalliferous miners is welcomed by the members of both unions and that such will be the result regardless of whatever action may be taken by the sub-committee in Chicago over which Samuel Gompers will preside. SPORT. It is estimated that over a quarter of a million dollars was won and lost in Reno alone on the outcome of the fight. Betting Commissioner Corbett announced that three wagers of $10,000 each and severa lof approximately $5,000 were entrusted with him at the ringside by men of national prominence. The Paris mutuals paid $20.90 to 1 on Johnson to win from 14 to 19 rounds. WASHINGTON. President Tart has designated George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, as acting chief of the new bureau of mines recently authorized by Congress. The army engineers selected to act as an advisory board in connection with the selection of irrigation projects under the $20,000,000 act are arranging to start for the West about July 20th. Secretary Ballinger is arranging to make personal visits as soon as practicable to the various government reclamation projects which may be completed from the $20,000,000 fund to be raised through the issuance of certificates of indebtedness. A movement against the exhibition of the Reno fight pictures in the District of Columbia has been started. Rev. Dr. John Compton Ball, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, declared from his pulpit Sunday that every possible effort would be made to have the district commissioners prohibit the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures and all other moving pictures of prize fights. Capt. Samuel P. Lyon's court-martial on charges growing out of the night attack upon Brownsville, Tex., by negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, was closed Tuesday after the testimony of Mayor Combe of the Texas town was heard. The verdict will be announced later. The officer was charged with falsifying his ammunition records to conceal the cartridges that it is alleged the men of his company used in the shooting. If convicted he faces dishonorable discharge from the army.

FOREIGN The attempt of the Canalejas government to curb the power of the Catholic church in Spain has apparently brought the country face to face with another of the great periodical crises in its history. Chile has commissioned an English firm of boatbuilders to begin work on a war vessel of 32,000 tons and a speed equal to or exceeding the fastest warship afloat. Her armament will correspond. The ship will cost $15,000,000. GENERAL. Eleven dead from the heat was the record in Chicago Sunday. Cornucopia, Minn., on the south shore of Lake Superior, is entirely surrounded by forest fires and there is no means of getting out of the town except by boat. With a six-foot hole in her side, the White Star liner Baltic docked at New York Monday, while her passengers hurried ashreed and congratulated themselves on their escape from what might have been a fearful mid-sea disaster. At Rodini, near Corsicana, Texas, Monday a negro entered the home of Hub Bailey, a merchant, and brandishing a knife, threatened Mrs. Bailey, a bride of three months, who grappled with him, wrested the weapon from him and forced the negro to take flight. Posses caught the negro Tuesday in Richland creek bottom and he was hanged. Nineteen persons were killed outright, three probably fatally hurt and half a dozen seriously injured in a head-on collision between a freight and a passenger train on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad at Middletown, Ohio, Monday. Of the killed, eleighteen were passengers, the other victims being members of the passenger train crew. The identified dead were all residents of Ohio. Rioting broke out Monday like prickly heat all over the country between whites, angry because Jeffries had lost the fight at Reno, and negroes jubilant that Johnson had won. A white man was shot in Arkansas and a negro was fatally wounded at Roanoke, Va. As the night progressed the rioting grew more serious. In New York disgruntled whites fired a negro tenement; at Mounds, Ill., a negro constable was killed and another man was mortally wounded; street rioting broke out in Kansas City and Norfolk, two negroes were shot in New Orleans, two white men were stabbed and thirty others slightly hurt at a negro picnic in Pueblo, Colo., and a riot narrowly was averted in La Junta, Colo. There were disturbances also in New York, Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Atlanta, St Louis, Little Rock and Houston. Chief Justice Melviha W. Fuller of the United States Supreme Court died suddenly at his home in Sorrento, Me., Monday. Governor Hughes of New York is considered the certain choice of President Taft to succeed Fuller.

COLORADO MEN DID GOOD WORK DELEGATION IN WASHINGTON SECURED BENEFITS FOR THE STATE. BUILDINGS AND SITES STATE TO BE CONGRATULATED UPON ITS REPRESENTATION Denver.—The Republican, in summing up the work of the Colorado delegation at Washington during the last session of Congress, says: "During the last session of Congress the members of the Colorado delegation in Senate and House have in their several lines achieved much success. Senator Hughes, while not making many speeches, has established a reputation as being a good debater, and he is recognized as one of the leaders of his party. He is essentially a party man, and with the exception of a few votes in support of a protective tariff on articles produced in Colorado, he has spoken for and voted generally with the party which sent him to the Senate. In the House, Representative Martin devoted the session to efforts for the reform of the Philippines, and after introducing scores of resolutions asking for information on countless subjects relating to the Philippines, was overwhelmed with surprise on the last day of the session when one of his resolutions, which incidentally, had the support of Representative Olmstead, a Republican leader, was adopted. Representatives Taylor, Martin and Rucker, strictly partisan as they are, have found it hard to adhere to their party tenets, for practically everything Coolrado wants is just what the Democratic party does not want to give, and, consequently, the three Colorado congressmen frequently had to vote with their political opponents. In consequence their influence in their own party was weakened, and, of course, they had practically none with the opposition; so throughout the session the delegation has been negative rather than positive, and unable to accomplish much of value to its constituents. Upon Senator Guggenheim has devoted almost all of the hard work of getting legislation needed for the state and in this, due to systematic methods of work and persistence which keeps him trying when others would give up, he has been extremely successful. Senator Guggenheim has the honor and deserves the credit of securing an important addition to the law governing homestead entries under federal irrigation projects. He is the author of the recently enacted provision that under certain circumstances irrigation homesteaders may be granted leaves of absence. It was in connection with the Gunnison Tunnel project, so long delayed in construction, that Senator Guggenheim saw the injustice which would be done to homestead entrymen under that project if they should be compelled to reside upon their homesteads during the long period of waiting for water. These locators of homesteads had been led to believe that the tunnel would be completed and the water turned into the ditches within the time ordinarily required in perfecting a homestead entry and ordinarily required in perfecting a homestead entry and title. But the project was much greater and more difficult than the original estimates indicated; the work dragged; the funds of the reclamation service fell short of what was needed, and it became evident that it would be years before water would be supplied to the land. Senator Guggenheim saw that under these circumstances, the only way to provide relief for the settlers was to grant their permission to leave their homesteads and seek employment elsewhere, without forfeiting their homestead rights. With this in view he introduced a bill to grant the requisite leave of absence. The Senate committee to which the measure was referred broadened its scope by making it applicable to all federal irrigation projects where conditions prevail similar to those under the Gunnison tunnel. In this form the bill has received the approval of both branches of congress and in a few days will become a law. For his efforts in behalf of this important measure Senator Guggenheim deserves the thanks of the many homesteaders and federal irrigation districts who have been at a loss to know how to preserve their homestead rights and at the same time provide for their families. Public Buildings and Sites. Senator Guggenheim introduced the following public building bills during the recent session of congress: Colorado City, building and site.

Further particulars on application. DON'T BE IN A HURRY. According to the Dallas Express "political and civil opportunity are knocking at the door of the colored man of Texas," and the Express advises him to rise and let them in. Now, wouldn't it be a good thing if the colored man of Texas let these knockers in one at a time? If civil opportunity is knocking at his door, he ought to fling it wide open, take Mr. Civil Opportunity by the hand and never let go, especially for a shake with Political Opportunity. Civil Opportunity is a good, faithful, reliable friend whose acquaintance can be cultivated with assurance of constant profit and pleasure, with success, improvement, prosperity and perhaps wealth, following after. Political Opportunity is supposed to come from the same family as Civil Opportunity but if the door is opened to him, he will paint pictures for you that vanish, he will make you go hungry and give you heart-ache, he will lead you a will-o'-the-wisp chase through swamp and mire and he will even rob you of the friendship of Civil Opportunity. The colored man of Texas would do well to ask his guests in one at a time in the order suggested. JOY IN ETHOPIA. The realm of pugilism is seldom associated with that of Paradise, but under certain circumstances it seems to be almost as exalting. Jack Johnson, the Negro, knocked out Jim Jeffriees, the pride and last hope of the white race, at Reno, Nevada, on the Fourth of July. That is the whole story condensed. But it was a matter of world-wide interest. The white people had made it so, because they wanted to prove that in the perfection of athletic knowledge and skill, the white race is master. They voluntarily declared this issue and compelled the Negro to take the short end of the proposition to fight the matter out. The solid and almost mad devotion of millions of white people, the sympathy of the ringside crowd and the unfaltering faith and undaunted hope of Caucasia was with the white man and against the Negro. But the Negro knocked the breath out of the white man and all the pugilistic hope and faith out of the white race with a paralizing uppercut to the jaw. And there is joy in Ethiopia. There is more than joy, there is ecstasy and almost emotional frenzy. Johnson is the athletic savior of his people. If he should start a church, he couldn't count his converts. But let us not forget to be magnanimous. In times to come we are going to beat the white man in many things, if given a fighter's chance, so let us learn early how to soothe the sorrow and modify the shame of the defeated proud ones. It is a fearful thing for the best white man in any sphere to be beaten by a Negro. So after you have had your yell, remember that the noblest of victors are the most generous. ADVANTAGES IN AMERICA. Highest English and American authorities agree that "nowhere else in the world, certainly not in Africa, has the Negro been given such a chance of mental and physical development as in the United States. Also that nowhere else has the Negro so greatly availed himself of his opportunities. Intellectually, and perhaps physically, he has attained his highest degree of advancement as yet in the United States. Politically he is freer there, socially he is happier than in any other part of the world." The statement above quoted is a paragraph taken from a book lately published by Sir Harry Johnston, an Englishman, who has spent years in racial research in connection with official duties in British colonies in Africa, and who made a tour of the eastern and southern states of North America to study conditions here. These views have now been endorsed by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt in an editorial in the Outlook, after the observations made possible by his year's sojourn in Africa. As a statement of actual present-day conditions these views could hardly be considered otherwise than as correct, if we make some allowances for the absolute independence and greater theatrical liberty, at least, of such smaller Negro populations as those in Hayti and Liberia. In these smaller countries facilities for educational improvement cannot be compared with those provided Negroes in many portions of the United States, but complete liberty and self-dependence become great factors in the development of any people. But, the standpoint from which white men, even of great ability and keen perception, make comparisons of the conditions and prospects of different branches of a crude and subject race, is seldom the same standpoint from which the restless members of that race view the same conditions. The tendencies of subject races to chafe and yearn for self-control, even at the probable disadvantage of inferior government and other sacrifices, was pretty clearly expressed in a recent editorial in the Rocky Mountain News, which cited the unrest in Egypt and India, where British rule, though beneficent and as nearly just as foreigners can make it, grows more and more irksome to the peoples who want to realize all that liberty and citizenship implies. The colored people of the United States, with all of their comparative advantages, suffer the restraints of a subject people in so far as laws or customs establish or recognize differences which limit or restrict their liberties, opportunities or privileges, and make them less than those enjoyed by other people. The supposition that all these restrictions will wear away in time is consoling but not altogether devoid of doubt. That the Negro has a happier destiny marked out for him in the United Sattes than any other branch of his race can hope to attain, is also an outlook more tragic than assuring for us to contemplate. Showing Sympathy Is True Secret By HELEN OLDFIELD MAN who wins a woman's heart and marries her will have any difficulty in keeping her love through weal or woe if only he loves her and does not forget to tell her so, not once for all, but over and over again. Life largely consists of compensations, and not the least of these is that while a man may choose and a woman must wait to be chosen, women love to be loved, and tenderness and sympathy rarely fail to win their love and to retain it when once won. T The trite saying that "trifles make up the sum of human life" is especially true of women. Men make one of their greatest mistakes in neglecting the little things, the loving word, the small attentions which are to a woman's heart what dew is to the flower. When a woman loves a man she is like the hero in Marmontel's fairy tale and looks at him through rose-colored glasses. No imagination of poet has such idealizing power as the affection of a devoted wife; her love, like the Midas touch, turns all to gold. Ordinary virtue swells into moral heroism; dull respectability is exalted into sublime conscientiousness; common, every-day cleverness is accounted as transcendent genius. As somebody has said, wives have a way of believing that the only limit to their husbands' ability is their own desire, that they have in them a potentiality of intellect, and could become eminent authors, statesmen, or anything else that they liked. It must be confessed, however, that not a few admit their husbands' inability to make money, but usually this inability is for good and sufficient reason, which is ample excuse, if excuse be needed. Even when the judgment is clearer the fond affection remains and is ever ready to find an excuse for a weakness, justification for a fault. A loving wife allows nobody to blame her husband. There is small reason to doubt that most wives who are eating out their hearts with the fear that Jack or Edwin does not love them as he used to do are borrowing needless trouble. Foolish of them? Oh, yes, but then it is just as bad to be scared to death as to be killed outright. Business is the American woman's chief, usually her only, rival, and the husband who has no time to pet his wife generally is working hard to make money for her and the babies. "Business comes first," as we all know, is a first-class commercial maxim, but the wisdom of it scarcely is comforting to the wife who feels herself snubbed and neglected, who so far as her real self is concerned is as lonely and companionless as though she were cast on a desert island. A The lack of sympathy shown by men to their wives is at the root of much marital unhappiness. Yet the average hard-working man does not, perhaps cannot comprehend this. Alas that so few of us understand that the life is more than the meat, the body more than the raiment! American Husband Devoted to Wife By E. D. PRIMERO Zurich, Switzerland He works like a horse that his wife may have three servants to do her work and her time for leisure. She in return entertains, rides, drives, reads and studies, and in short gets so much "culture" that she can soon look down on her husband and use words he never heard of. He gives up an enjoyable fishing trip to the "lake in the woods" to escort his better half to Paris. She drags him around to the shops for women during the day and tells him what to wear evenings and how to hold his knife and fork. pensive luxury. She demands the most. He gives her the most. To make her happy he does not stop short of the most extravagant of resorts, schools, journeys, music teachers, dressmakers and whatever female foolishness and capriciousness can conceive of. He lets her travel in Europe, where she falls in love with a nobleman, who after obtaining an income for life insured by an iron-bound contract, marries her. Daughter settles abroad. If father wants to see her let him go to Wiesbaden or Aix-le-Bains, or some other good resort, where he can get a room at the same hotel. He has a son. Sons are an incumbrance in U. S. A. They do not marry titled wives and thereby elevate mamma's social position. Son gets no income for life. Let him work or let him be satisfied with $150 a month. "Make a man of culture of him and let him devote his time to the city? I guess not. My son has to work. My daughter leads a life of luxury in Europe. That is enough for one family." Thirty years ago my father kept a large livery and boarding stable in the city of Boston. He did not have any boys, so he taught his five girls to drive and almost the first things he taught us were the "rules of the road." These rules are laws of the road just the same today all over the United States. Teamsters Ignorant of Road Rules By E. NEWMAN When I came to Chicago five years ago I was surprised to see cabmen, teamsters and other drivers ignore the simplest rule of all, driving on the wrong side of the street. At first I thought it was carelessness, but after a study of the matter I discovered that not more than half of them knew how to drive. There are only a few important road rules. They are easy to learn and not hard to remember. Now, why doesn't Chief Steward dig up a few of these old rules, have them printed in the newspapers, put up in saloons, hotels and other public places and teach his men how to drive? The Backwoods School. Poor old schoolhouse, long since become scattered ashes! Poor little backwoods academicians, driven in about sunrise, driven out toward dusk!

The white newspaper reporters will report the sermon in the Monday morning issues of the News and Post. The public is cordially invited to hear this discourse as delivered before it becomes cold. It refers to the practical side of the Negroes' life in Denver. The quarterly report of The People's Presbyterian church, rendered a few nights ago, shows a most wonderful growth along all lines. The prospect for the future church here is very hopeful. Y. M. C. B.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH REDEEMER 22nd Ave. and Humboldt St. Rev Thomas G. Brown, Pastor. Sunday school, 9:30 a. m. Morning prayer and sermon, 11 a. m. Vespers, 5 p. m. Confirmation service was held on Friday evening, July 1st, at 8 o'clock, when the Rt. Rev. Chas. Olmsted, Bishop of the Diocese, administered the rite to two candidates, who were presented by the Rev. Thos. G. Brown. This, with the former class, gives a total of fourteen additional members to the church for the year. The music for the occasion was very appropriate, the choir rendering "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes." Anthem by Elmer Jones, among other selections. The first of the series of Vesper services began on Sunday afternoon, the 3rd inst., at 5 o'clock, when, in addition to the evening prayer, a musical program was rendered. The soloist for the service was Miss Senora Findley, who sang "God Be Merciful to Me" in her usual impressive manner, and giving such an interpretation to the piece as to commend herself highly to the congregation. The anthem, "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled," along with the hymns, "Fight the Good Fight" and "Onward, Christian Soldiers" (to a special setting), also an organ solo, were included in the program. The pastor takes this opportunity to thank Mrs. Lillian Jones and Miss Rhoda Anderson for their kind help in this special service. The attendance was fair when considering the present weather conditions. These Vesper services continue until the end of September, including the special services on the first Sunday in August and September. All are invited to attend. SHOTER CHURCH NOTES. Shorter A. M. E.

There is no reason under the sun, where two men combat for honors in endurance and strength, that it shows race superiority. While the Negro through the United States, no doubt, were pleased of the victory of Jack Johnson over James J. Jeffries. We know it was a white man's money scheme and both men were backed by one and the same race, and the public the sucker. While several fortunes, no doubt, have changed hands and both participants were made rich I fail to see where the Negro race is benefited one whit. As competitors we only ask a chance not as fighters, but to work and labor and make an honest living, that our children may be educated to compete in the walks of life as men and women. We need men like Booker Washington who raises more men to life endurance in one year than a thousand prize fights can hope to raise in a hundred years. The Negro as a race instinct likes manly sport and frolic and fun is a part of his nature, and we can see no reason why race animosity should be created by the victory of one pug over another. Race superiority in shown in control of nations, finances, stocks and government, and prize fights show nothing of worth but bull dog tenacity and one individuals strength over the other, so what does it matter who can fight the harder, run the faster, jump the higher, it means nothing to the superiority of a race conflict, and the Negro as a race has gained nothing in Jack Johnson whipping Jim Jeffries.

Denver. — Governor Shafroth anounced Monday that he would call the extraordinary session of the General Assembly to meet August 9th. Finds Bucket of Money. Grand Junction.—In searching the house where his mother formerly lived, John Snitcel, employed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at Pueblo, Monday found an old pail containing $200. Mrs. Snitcel had been a county charge for several years. Boy Froghunter Drowned. Ault—Mired in the mud while catching bullfrogs in a pond Tuesday afternoon, Claude Richey, aged 8, son of Homer Richey, sunk tothis knees in the mud of the pond and was drowned standing upright. Three physicians tried vainly to revive him. Thieves Get $5,000. Denver.—More than $5,000 in cash was taken from the safe in the business office of the Rocky Mountain News Publishing Company some time Sunday night by burglars. The pay envelopes of the employees of the News and the Times and all the cash that had been taken in over the counter Saturday night were stolen. Negro's Fatal Celebration Trinidad.—Mrs. Julia Scott, colored, was killed instantly by her brother, Charles Murray, known to the police as "Babe." Celebrating the Johnson victory at a colored dance, he kept taking beer into the house, and when Mrs. Scott remonstrated with him, he drew a revolver and shot her before all the dancers. He fled to the brush but was captured and taken to jail. Will Entertain Hardware Men Boulder.—Delegates to the convention of the National Hardware Men's Association which meets in Denver July 10 to 14 will be here July 11 as guests of the Commercial association. The 400 visitors will be taken over the Switzerland trail to Glacier lake, re turning about 4:30 p. m. The Motor club will then furnish machines for a ride over the city, ending at the Chautaqua, where supper will be served. Riot At Pueblo. Pueblo.—A riot in the Bessemer City park, resulting from a difference of opinion between a white man and a negro over the Jeffries-Johnson fight. Monday night, resulted in two men being stabbed in the back by negroes and a free-for-all fight in which twenty or thirty people received slight injuries. Almost every policeman in the city was called to the scene and it was several hours before quiet was restored. Big Project in La Plata Durango.—The biggest irrigation proposition in the southwest has been launched by the signing of the contract by the Florida Mesa irrigation district for the construction of ditches and reservoirs by the Pioneer Construction Company, the cost being an even $1,000,000, with an additional bonded indebtedness of $60,000 to cover interest on bonds the first year. The ratifying of the contract means the expenditure of nearly $750,000 in ditches and reservoirs within the next twelve months, the water to cover 25,000 acres of rich land. It is expected that the Carey land scheme will soon be under headway, which means another $500,000 in ditch and reservoir work in this section. Colorado's Fourth. Denver.—It was about as nearly perfect an Independence Day as Denver ever saw, and this in spite of the fact that it was not all noise. Four lads were injured by giant crackers, but the "safe and sane" celebration under the auspices of the Patriotic League was an unqualified success. Idaho Springs.—More than 1,500 people from the western end of Clear Creek county, Central City and Denver witnessed the firemen's races here Monday. The Star hook and ladder team of Georgetown won first money, making the run in 24 15-16 seconds. Second money was won by the Idaho Springs team, whose time was 25 11-15 seconds. The Rough and Ready team from Central City was third. La Junta.—Fewer fireworks were discharged today than on any previous Fourth of July in the history of the city. There were no casualties. Manzanola.—Five thousand visitors from surrounding towns came here today for the Independence celebration. There were no accidents. Grand Junction.—Independence Day was observed quietly here and at other points in the county in a safe and sane manner. Owing to the general order prohibiting the use of dangerous explosives and cannon-crackers no accidents were recorded. Supreme Court on a Dry Point. Denver.—Another interesting local option law decision was handed down Tuesday by the Supreme Court. In effect it says what the Supreme Court has held before—that when it is proposed to create "dry" territory the larger political subdivision governs the smaller subdivision. But this decision goes even further, and makes it possible for the larger subdivision to bring up the issue in the smaller subdivision immediately after the smaller has taken action on the question. HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR TEXAS MAN 'CONSTRUCTS AIRSHIP ON EXACT SCIENTIFICPRINCIPLES. CALLED A GYROPLANE GOVERNMENT EXPERTS SAY IT IS GREATEST INVENTION OF THE KIND St. Louis.—The incorporation of the Universal Aerial Navigation Company, to conduct business in Missouri, has revealed plans for a commercial passenger airship that rivals the dreams of Jules Verne. Officers of the company declare that wfthin a year they will have ships sailing the skies that will carry up a hundred passengers in a forty-mile wind at a speed of 100 miles an hour if desired. The machine is the invention of J. A. Oman, formerly of San Antonio, Texas, but now a St. Louisan. One is in process of construction now in the shops of the inventor. The inventor asserts that his ship can start either from the land or water. He declares it will ascend straight into the air, or can be launched in the manner of an aeroplane. The new airship is called a gyroplane, so named from the fact that it is a combination of gyroscope, helicopter and the aeroplane. "A thirty or forty-mile breeze would be a help rather than hindrance to our machine, said the inventor. "We will maintain absolute equilibrium. An ordinary airship will be nothing to this machine of ours. It is planned to construct machines that will maintain a regular passenger service between cities and states and even countries. The gasoline supply may be unlimited. The machine has been inspected by government engineers and many experts in machinery and navigation of the air. They all have pronounced it the greatest invention of the kind that ever has been made. 45.000.000 Cold Storage Eggs Chicago—Hens of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio have since April laid 45,000,000 eggs for the cold storage man, according to farmers who have sold their product to representatives of Chicago cold storage houses. The eggs will not be put on the market until there is a scarcity. The purchases were made at an average price of 231½ to 24 cents a dozen. Two cents a dozen is added to cover insurance, storage costs, etc., which brings the total cost up to about 26 cents a dozen. If eggs can be retailed in Chicago next winter at 45 cents a dozen, at which they were sold last winter, there will be a profit of 19 cents a dozen, or a total of more than $100,000. 25.000 Engineers Demand Raise. Chicago—Twenty-five thousand locomotive engineers employed on 49 railroad systems west of Chicago, are formulating demands for increased wages which will be presented to the managers this month. The schedules, so far as they have been prepared, call for a complete readjustment of wages for all classes of engineers, the men on the far western divisions asking for a higher advance than is demanded by the men running into Chicago. Insurgents Confer With Roosevelt. Oyster Bay—Another important political conference was held at Sagamore Hill Thursday. Senator Beveridge of Indiana, Representative Hamilton Fish of New York and others who are affiliated more or less directly with the insurgent movement were guests of Theodore Roosevelt. During his stay in New York the colonel made arrangements for his first conference with the state "regulars." Wins Bet—Loses Life. New York—Peter Smith, a husky young tannery worker in Newark, N. J., drank 17 jiggers of whisky in succession, thereby winning a bet of $1. As he pocketed the money he fell to the floor unconscious and died soon after in a hospital. Fraternal Bodies at Detroit. Chicago.—The annual meeting of the National Fraternal Congress will begin at Detroit, August 16th, and will be followed by the meeting of the Associated Fraternities of America. Heat Destroys Crops. Washington—The grain crops in Montana and the western Dakotas, not receiving irrigation water, are literally dried up. African Gold Coming. London.—It is stated that two million dollars of Cape gold, purchased for Germany, has been engaged for shipment to New York, and that a total of ten million dollars will be shipped. Drowned in Water Barrel. Cincinnati—Drowned in a rain barrel, Mrs. Henry Hodges was found by her son Wednesday after she had disappeared from her home in Milford, O KNOWN SINCE 1836 AS RELIABLE PLANTEN'S C & C OR BLACK CAPSULES SUPERIOR REMEDY FOR MEN ETC.ETC.

An authority on alcohol stills says that there are 20,000 farm stills in operation on as many farms in Germany. The German government permits the farmer to produce a certain amount of grain or potato alcohol, the amount depending upon the size and location of the farm and the annual demand for the product, upon the payment of a reduced revenue tax. Alcohol distilled in excess of the quantity allowed is subject to the higher rate of taxation. Denatured alcohol, however, is not subject to any tax. UNDEFEATED CHAMPION OF THE NORTHWEST. T. A. Ireland, Rifle Shot, of Colfax, Wash., Tells a Story. Mr. Ireland is the holder of four world records and has yet to lose his first match—says he: "Kidney trouble so affected my vision as to interfere with my shooting. I became so nervous I could hardly hold a gun. There was severe pain in my back and head and my kidneys were terribly disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me after I had doctored and taken nearly every remedy imaginable without relief. I will give trouble so affected my vision as to interfere with my shooting.

"Shall we permit the ruthless hand of the hydra-headed tyrant," cried the youth, "to—to—to—well, what is it?" The father was wrestling with the manuscript. "Oh, yes," he muttered, "here it is: 'to dessicate.' Go on." "It's desecrate," cried the boy, indignantly. "‘Shall we permit the ruthless hand of the hydra-headed tyrant to desecrate the—the—the—why don't you prompt me?" The father was staring hard at the manuscript. "The—the pooodle—paddle—pooodle—of your life," he stemmed. And he stalked away angrily. Up to Date Milking Scene: Up to Date Milking Scenes. "What's going on around here?" asked the surprised visitor. "Is this a hospital?" "Oh, no," answered the tall man in the silk hat; "this is the stage setting for a New England farm drama. The next act will be the milking scene." "But I thought the young lady in the antiseptic apron was a trained nurse?" "Oh, no; she is the milkmaid. The young man in the rubber gloves that you thought was a doctor is the farm boy. As soon as they bring in the sterilized stool and the pasteurized pails and find the cow's tooth brush the milking scene will begin."

One thing sure, if the proposed Japanese expedition to the South pole gets there, it will know whether or not the pole is made of bamboo.— Cheyenne Tribune. Heard. But Not Seen. "Have you seen any crows?" asked the man with the gun. "No, I ain't," replied the farmer's boy, "but I've heard some." "From what direction?" cried the eager hunter. "From the direction of the chicken house," the boy said, and his statement was immediately verified by the clarion calls of two Plymouth Rock roosters.-Chicago News. Prolonged Its Existence. "See that $2 check?" said the poet. "Ten years ago your magazine sent me that check for a poem. I had it framed." "Then it was never cashed?" inquired the publisher. "No." "Now I am more than ever puzzled to understand why that magazine failed financially." His Objection. "Do you favor the 'fast' cure! asked the young medical student who had been perusing one of the marvelous cure stories. "I do not," snorted the old doctor. "I look at things from a practical money making standpoint and favor a slow cure every time." When the Clothier Fainted. A London clothier was never known to acknowledge that he didn't have anything a possible customer might ask for. One day a customer entered the shop and asked if he had any trousers made especially for one-legged men. "Certainly," replied the merchant. "What kind do you want?" "Dress pants," said the man. "The best you've got." Hurrying into the rear of the shop the enterprising merchant snatched a pair of trousers and snipped off the right leg with a pair of shears. Hastily turning under the edges he presented them to the customer. "That's the kind I want. What's the price?" "Thirty shillings." "Well, give me a pair with the left leg off." A month later the clothier was pronounced convalescent.—London Globe. Valuable Map Just Issued. The 1910 edition of the Denver & Rio Grande folder, "Natural Resources of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico," is especially valuable because the large map, which takes in the territory from the Rocky Mountains west to the Pacific Coast, is not only brought right up date but shows also the route and stations of the new Western Pacific Railway, the Pacific Coast extension of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. This new line was opened for freight traffic some time ago, and it is anticipated that passenger business will be inaugurated early in August. It is said that the route through the Sierras and down the Feather River rivals in scenic attractions the world-famous Denver & Rio Grande. Another interesting feature in connection with this new Pacific Coast line is the fact that there is no grade of more than fifty-two feet to the mile, which makes it possible to conduct transportation across the mountains at a lower cost over that line than over any other now operating on the American continent. The map is being distributed by the Passenger Department of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. HOWARD E.

DeLancey Nicoll, lawyer, is always a well-dressed man, and abominates a slovenly appearance. At the Union club he said of a westerner one day: "He has come on to New York for a week and I don't believe he has brought a stitch of luggage with him." Here Mr. Nicoll smiled. "Unless, indeed," he added, "he's stowed something in the large bags he carries in the knees of his trousers." Faster. Teacher—Children, nature is supe rior to man in everything. For instance, there is nothing that travels so fast as the unseen wind. Willie—Huh! You ought to hear what my pa says about a sight draft! Penalized for Holding. Maud—Do you believe in palmistry? Ethel—In a way. I've known it to work splendid as a starter when the young man was shy. A Pleasing Combination Post Toasties with Cream and Sugar.

PUTTING UP THE PINEAPPLE Only Proper Method of Preserving This Fruit, as It Should Be Done, in Slices. Cut in slices, using always a silver knife, or, if you work rapidly, a steel one, dipping it every moment or two in a pan of cold water by the dish in which you are cutting the fruit. This is essential, as the acid of the pine makes the steel corrode very quickly, imparting a disagreeable taste to the fruit. After slicing, peel carefully, using a pineapple snip if you will or the point of the knife to remove every particle of the "eye." Core and welign. Allow three-quarters of sugar to each pound of fruit. Sprinkle the sugar over the sliced fruit, which on no account should be left in tin, and let stand over night. In the morning turn pineapple and the thick juice which covers it into the preserving kettle, adding for each pound of fruit a quarter cupful of water. Cook ten minutes, take out the slices without breaking, and spread on a platter in the sun or in the oven while the sirup is allowed to simmer gently until quite rich and thick. Return the fruit to the kettle, cook ten minutes longer, put into sterilized wide-mouthed cans, using fresh rubbers, fill to overflowing with the scalding sirup and seal. TO FRESHEN GILT FRAMES Havoc Wrought In Hot Days of Summer Shown to Be by No Meane Hard to Overcome. Summer is hard on gilt frames, moldings and mirrors. The humidity in the air, excessive dust and flies quickly work havoc. The old way was to shroud all gilt in mosquito netting with the approach of spring. This is too dismal for the modern housekeeper. What she cannot put away she does not worry over, for she knows gilt, especially good gilt, is cleanable. A cloth slightly dampened in alcohol will remove blur and dulness. This must be delicately and quickly done or ugly spots result. Fly specks and the soil of soot can be removed by rubbing with fresh bread, or if the dirt is extra bad, with bread on which a drop or two of ammonia has been sprinkled. Should the gilt finally get too bad regilding is possible at home with some of the Japanese liquid gilts that are easily handled by the novice. Where there are old mirrors that need regilding be careful to ask for a gilt that has a dull finish; otherwise most of the charm of the antique look is lost. The frame is distinctly cheapened by a high luster. Fruit Bavaroise. For a delicious fruit bavarose soak two level teaspoonfuls of granulated gelatine in half a cupful of water, and when softened set the dish in hot water until the gelatine is dissolved; add one cupful of rhubarb pulp cooked with sugar until it is like marmalade, juice of half a lemon; set the dish in ice water and stir until it begins to thicken; then fold in one and one-half cupfuls of double cream whipped until it is very thick. Turn into a dish and set where it will chill and become solid. When ready to serve dip the mold in hot water a second, then invert on a cold dish and serve with sliced cherries over the top and a cherry sauce made by thickening canned cherry juice with a little corn-starch when hot, and cooking until creamy. Cherry Tapioca. This calls for a pound and a half sour cherries, one cup pearl tapioca, and sugar to sweeten. Wash the tapioca in several waters, cover with cold water and soak over night. Put on the fire with one pint boiling water and simmer slowly until the tapioca is perfectly clear. Stone the cherries, stir into the boiling tapioca and sweeten to taste. Take from the fire, turn into the dish in which it is to be served, and set to cool. Serve cold with cream. This will make enough for eight persons. Gooseberries. To can gooseberries to be nice and whole canned they should be cleaned carefully, then put as many quarts as desired into a vessel. Have ready a kettle of boiling water, pour it over the berries, leave until they turn white, which is only a few moments. Skim the berries out and put into the jars. Have more boiling water and pour over them in the jars until berries are covered. Seal immediately. They are thoroughly cooked when opened and will keep. Red Beets. Cook beets, small ones (if large, quarter them, after being cooked); have vinegar seasoned with salt, pepper, a little sugar, boiling hot, ready, and when beets are put into the jars, pour the hot vinegar over them. See that they are well covered before sealing, but seal immediately. Delicious when opened. Sage and Chicken Soup. From the carcass of a chicken a thin stock is made; flavor with a slice of onion and the ends of a bunch of celery, finish by cooking in it one heaping teaspoonful of sage to each quart until the sage is perfectly transparent. Peach Custard. Arrange alternate layers of stale cake and sections of canned peaches in a glass dish and pour over a boiled custard, cover with a meringue and serve ice cold. FORYRIGHT DANIEL JIMST WASHINGTON, D. These three little maids from China are favorites with Washington society and are in demand at many of the capital's functions. Their English names are Alice, May and Emily. (Photo: Copyright, by Clindinst.) LIBRARY IS POPULAR LIBRARY IS POPULAR EVERY MEMBER OF THE FORCE A COLLEGE MAN. Speak Various Languages and Attend to the Patrons of Great Congressional Book House With Greatest Ease. The reading room of the congressional library, with the entire range of the world's literature at one's command, is popular with PALACE Washingtonians and others from a distance. Although perhaps it is not known to every one, it is a fact of some interest that every member of the librarian's force is a college man. The person whom one sees handing out light juvenile fiction has undergone a collegiate training, which, though possibly of little use in this instance, may stand him well in hand when the next reader arrives, asking for directions for securing a copy of Justus Frederick Karl Hecker's "The Epidemics of the Middle Ages," or some other equally rare and heavy work. These patient, faithful, obliging librarians who wait upon young girl readers seeking Gibson's "The Passing Show," with the same polite and thorough attention with which they respond to the applications of students and men of learning, are many of them, men of considerable learning and literary accomplishments, Richard Johnson speaks and reads French quite as well as he does English, and if a Frenchman unable to speak or understand a word of English were to drop into the library reading room he would perhaps experience less difficulty in securing what he desired than if he were in Paris. The others are also able to read French and German, in addition to English, this being one of the requirements under which they hold their places. In addition to this, however, Mr. Johnson is able to speak French as well as a native of Paris. Frank Reynolds speaks excellent Spanish and usually attends to the wants of visitors from the republics of Latin America. Louis Solyom, however, is perhaps the most accomplished linguist in the library. He speaks ten languages and reads in a still larger number. He is one of the few Americans who are able to read and speak the Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Hungarian and Polish languages, and, among other duties, attends to the cataloguing of works in the Chinese, Turkish and other oriental languages. Mr. Babine speaks and reads the Russian and Slavic languages as well as he does English, cataloguing all works printed in these tongues which come to the library, for, although the number of Washington people who read Russian, Chinese, etc., is rather limited, still there are enough of them to render the purchase and keeping on hand of a number of works in the languages just mentioned, as well as in Turkish, Japanese, Hungarian and Finnic, a necessity. Among those who patronize the library reading room, and who read in Chinese as well as in English, may be mentioned William Woodville Rockhill, and several others who have served in the navy and diplomatic service. Of the total number of patrons who read in languages other than English, those who have mastered French and German are in a decided majority. Time was when the number of people (Americans) who could read in Russian, the most difficult of all European languages, amounted to very few, in- deed, but owing to the growing importance of the Russian empire and people interest in this peculiar tongue is on the increase. In the matter of preference, history has the greatest number of devotees among the readers at the Congressional library, fiction coming second. Now, and for some time past, nearly one-half of the number of readers in the library reading room come here to read town histories, genealogies and that class of works which during the past two years have appeared in such numbers, and which deal with historic towns, families, etc., of the different groups of states of the Union. Such subjects have become immensely popular of late years, and people who, ten years ago, probably did not know the names of their great-grandparents, and possibly cared less, are today poring over old directories, genealogies, town histories and the like, in efforts to search up a distinguished ancestry. One would also be surprised at the large number of people who resort to the library reading room to spend their evenings reading works on hypnotism, table rapping, theosophy and kindred subjects. The interest in such matters is intense and far-reaching, and despite the advanced state of learning and science it is astonishing to witness the large number of those who every evening call for works on the subjects aforementioned. The Congressional library, like all institutions of considerable age, has quite a number of old patrons, persons who have called regularly every evening for the past 20 or 30 years. Some of them have been coming to the library for a period which extends beyond the memory of many of the oldest employees and librarians. One man has called every day for the past 20 years to spend several hours daily reading poetry. He never reads anything else, this being his hobby. Another old-timer has made the subject of mushrooms his hobby and reads everything printed on the subject. Those who come to prime themselves full of hasty, ready-made information for papers, speeches, addresses, etc., are always in evidence. Some of the heaviest reading is done by young Japanese and Chinese students, who are making the very best of their opportunities. Next the works on spiritualism, etc., the number of books that are read on sociology, social questions, criminology, the trust problems, etc., is astonishingly great. The interest in such things has been on the increase for the past several years and shows no evidence of waning. Minors under the age of sixteen are not allowed in the reading room, and it has long been the policy of the librarian of congress to assist young readers between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one to a class of good reading matter. The librarians do all in their power to increase the usefulness of the library as an educational institution by giving advice, suggestions and information, to the end of encouraging a desire among young readers for the best and most instructive class of solid reading matter. While standing near the desk of the reading room one day the writer saw a little lad just sixteen years of age hand in a card for Plato's "Republic." This happened at the close of a great rush on the part of a large number of young readers for cheap juvenile fiction. The little fellow did not have his card made out quilte right, but the librarian attended to that for him with evident pleasure, putting himself to no small pains to see that the youngster was supplied in short order and with the right translation. When a boy shows a taste for such literature there is some hope for him, and he can always rest assured of receiving every attention at the disposal of the library and its force. Remedies are Needed Were we perfect, which we are not, medicines would not often be needed. But since our systems have become weakened, impaired and broken down through indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages, through countless generations, remedies are needed to aid Nature in correcting our inherited and otherwise acquired weaknesses. To reach the seat of stomach weakness and consequent digestive troubles, there is nothing so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a glyceric compound, extracted from native medic- final roots—sold for over forty years with great satisfaction to all users. For Weak Stomach, Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Pain in the Stomach after eating, Heartburn, Bad Breath, Belching of food, Chronic Diarrhea and other Intestinal Derangements, the "Discovery" is a time-proven and most efficient remedy.

He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the improvement even in those few hours was surprising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now in his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned. I would recommend the Cuticura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 20, 1909." For the Dog's Sake. "Where are you going for your summer vacation this year?" asked Mrs. Gotrox. "O, dear, I've not made up my mind yet," sighed Mrs. Rich wearily.

Jane Davies, under twelve years of age, of Blaencwn, Wales, a Sunday school scholar, has learned by heart the whole of the New Testament during the past year. A balanced grand piano has been invented in England. One side is a duplicate of the other and the lid is hinged in the center so as to distribute the sound waves evenly. SILK DRESSES Reason for Divorces. Balanced Grand Piano. V JUST for the heads of youth and loveliness, one of that small company of designers who make Paris the top o' the world (in millinery), has given to us these three things of beauty for the summer girl. They look so simple! And they are in reality only broad-brimmed leghorn and hemp shapes with plumes and ribbon, or flowers and ribbon, for garniture. But their simplicity is only seeming. It is the result of a deep study of lines by a gifted artist. It is like the simplicity of a perfectly plain and perfectly fitted, tailored coat, a thing difficult of achievement. These broad brims, droop and lift, flowing about the face and head in lines that make us wonder and envy, not at their own sweet will, but by the careful calculation of the mind that planned them. They are, indeed, fitted to the face and head. They compel us to note how they silhouette an exquisite profile, or point to the fine line of the eyebrows, or play up the depth of the eyes or veil half the pretty face in mystery. On the broad brimmed leghorn with black velvet facing, a mass of delicate tulle roses and a curious lily in black velvet are banked against the crown. The brim, drooping gradually at the left, is so wide that it throws the entire profile, including the beautiful throat, and the neck, into high relief. The girl who chooses this must possess a profile worth while, because it will stand out like a stone cameo, with such a hat for a background. The hemp hat covered with oddly mounted uncurled ostrich plumes is of a sort to carry off the honors at A This simple waist is of dotted foulard, white ground, with blue dots. It is trimmed on each side of the front with a band of embroidery in colors, bordered with rolls of liberty. The full front is of white silk voile; the collarette and sleeve ruffles are of lace. Take Good Care of Your Gloves. Gloves are another item about which many do not concern, themselves sufficiently. A soiled glove looks as badly as a soiled collar, yet no one would think of wearing the latter, whereas gloves that reek with dirt and germs are worn with the greatest disregard for appearances and hygiene. Fastidious women find the chamois glove a delightful substitute for the regular kid, as it can be washed when soiled, wears as well as any other, and is much more comfortable. Gloves, like stockings, should be mended the moment they begin to show wear; in fact, every garment requires constant inspection to keep it in condition and always ready for use. —The Delineator. the Grand Prix, where millinery and horses triumph—but mostly millinery. It would surely hold its own in any meeting of those who make dress a study and vie with one another in display. Happy the bride or bridesmaid who may indulge herself in its counterpart. It is a hat for high occasion. There are four long, but not heavy, plumes, more like a soft mass of snow than anything else in nature. There is almost no curl in the long fibers. Such a hat never was and never will be out of style. The third hat is more distinctly of the season. It has a bell-like brim with irregular edge and a fairly tall crown. Fuor long plumes are mounted at the right under a bow that is more than large. They fall completely over the crown, to the left brim. One half the face is in shadow from the sharp droop of the brim. This hat is almost universally becoming. All these hats are set on the_head in the proper position. It will be noticed that the pose is dignified—not rakish. The crowns are posed as they should be, directly on top of the head. It is the modeling of the brims that gives each hat its individuality and makes each extraordinary. As studies in midsummer high art millinery they must interest everyone. Those who would like fac-similes of any one of these must consider whether their features are of the same class or not, and remember that the rest of the toilette must play up to the hat. Such millinery is immensely useful for it is brimming over with good suggestions, which we will do well to follow—some of them at a discreet distance. JULIA BOTTOMLEY SUMMER BEDROOM IN COLORS Soft Shade of Green One of the Most Appropriate That Can Be Devised. A beautiful green room of a summer cottage has been produced with green woodwork in one of the restful sage-green tints, the walls papered in a plain cartridge paper, with a frieze of stray vines, all in different shades of the same cool color. The wicker furniture is finished in a forest green stain and the carpet is covered with a green and white rug of fine, jointless matting. Sheer white mull curtains hang at the windows with straight-falling draperies of liberty silk of the same color over them. A white porcelain bedroom candlestick four feet high stands at the head of the bed. It is a straight column resting on a square block base, the fluted finish outlined in green. It holds a large green wax candle, at the side of which is a little holder for a box of matches. Other fittings of the room carry out the green and white scheme, and as the apartment faces the south, the effect has been to temper its high light and contribute a restfully subdued tone. Black Jewelry to the Fore. Black jewelry is threatening a return to extensive vogue. Whenever any calamity abroad brings a prominent part of the populace into mourning black jewelry is sure to come around again. Persons who remember the death of the prince consort tell interesting tales of the extent to which the craze went at that time. Everybody wore black ornaments, and jet. Jet is already in high esteem with the powers that direct the wardrobe and has been for a year or more, but the manufacturers are getting ready for a still greater demand for it than they have seen for two generations at least.
