THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY RACIAL PROGRESS Along many lines reported at the Hampton Conference. Dr. Frissell opened the Conference by calling upon the Negro Leaders to get together and solve their Problems. Preachers and Teachers urged to improve their own qualities of Leadership and insist on Co-operation. VOL. XVI. RACIAL PR Along many lines reported at Frissell opened the Conferen Leaders to get together a Preachers and Teachers qualities of Leadership an Hampton, Va., July 14.—A survey of the fourteenth annual meeting of the Hampton Negro conference, held at Hampton Institute yesterday and today, shows that its object was not mainly that of laying undue stress upon money-making schemes, land-getting and holding, and mere material or economic properity. Its object was to give to race-workers and the friends of Negro advancement, through self-control, service and industry, the benefit of the experiences of those who have made homes, schools and communities better and more attractive. Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton Institute, opened the conference by calling upon the Negro leaders to get together and solve their common problems. Jackson Davis, the new Virginia state supervisor of colored schools, Richmond, Va., outlined the work in industrial education which Virginia has been carrying on in ten counties, and said that the school authorities were planning to introduce industrial education next year in the schools of Charles City, Chesterfield, Cumberland and Goochland Counties. He added that the work had commanded interest and respect among the masses, and had had an important effect upon the improvement of the young people and that the results were beginning to appear in better and more attractive homes. He urged the Negro teachers to go back to their communities prepared to make the best use of what they had at hand, and advised his hearers to remove the two dominating hindrances to progress in the South—idle land and idle men. J. H. Hinford, executive secretary of the Co-operative Education Association of Virginia, told the delegates to teach their people how to make a living, how to break down indifference towards school improvement and the extension of the school term, how to make the school the center of community interests, and how to make rural life attractive to young people. He urged the introduction among Negroes of co-operative commercial associations, similar to those in successful operation in Ireland and Denmark. The relation of the Negro newspaper to race progress was discussed by Ocea Taylor, editor of the Washington American, and T. Thomas Fortune, for thirty years editor of the New York Age, and at present associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. Taylor pointed out clearly that the Negro papers had kept alive the spirit of loyalty and union among the colored people themselves, emphasized the progress and achievements of the race, and promoted the work of religion and fraternal organizations. Dr. William R. Ward of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., read a paper on the development of life insurance, in which he laid special emphasis upon the necessity and value of a medical examination and selection of insurance risks. William S. Dodd and Harris Barrett, both of the business department of Hampton Institute and William P. Burrell, one of the officers of the True Reformers, a powerful Negro fraternal organization, spoke on the importance of improving life-and-fraternal insurance organizations. He said that of the two hundred Negro fraternal organizations of the South thirty-seven were to be found in Virginia. The membership of the Virginia associations last year was three million, the income four million dollars, and there were outstanding contracts of one hundred million dollars. Dr. Masten, head of the Charities Organization of Richmond, urged the formation of a Children's Home Society, similar to one now operated for the whites of Virginia, and declared that there are at present sixty Negro children in Virginia almshouses, and ninety-eight Negro children in Virginia jails. He showed that confirmed criminals were, produced by having young culprits brought into police courts and sent to jail. Some of the Recommendations. Among the many recommendations made by the conference were the following: We again urge upon colored teachers that they lose no oppor- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 30 1910. tunity to improve themselves and suggest that to this end they organize teachers' institutes in every county—and we ask of public schools authorities and private schools every assistance they may give in aiding teachers to a better training of themselves for their important work. We recommend that our schools bring their work to bear practically upon their immediate surroundings, and that they do their literary work with no less thoroughness than the practical or industrial work. We urge that school teachers, ministers, and other individuals feel it incumbent upon themselves to assist in every way in disseminating agricultural information among the country people that they may learn to improve their economic condition by producing better crops, improved live stock, by enriching their soils, and by beautifying their homes. Believing in the ultimate result of co-operation by all the different agencies in the State towards the uplift of the Negro race and the betterment of each community, we urge that efforts be put forth to bring together all these forces—educational and otherwise. We would not forget, further, to urge most earnestly the co-operation of the churches in providing wholesome and uplifting amusements, tending not only to furnish healthful and harmless recreation, but providing safeguard against the vicious tendencies in many of the worldly and unrestricted amusements surrounding our people on every hand. We wish to guard the race against the usurious money lender, the insurance frauds, whether black or white, the installment dealers, and grasping, dishonest landlords, and urge upon the leaders of the race, particularly the ministers who enter into such intimate relations with the great masses, to keep these matters constantly before the people. We regret enactment of class legislation which has destroyed the civil and political rights of the Negro people and earnestly pray that we shall have relief by the education of public opinion against the injustice done us by such class legislation. We heartily commend the results of the work of the local Anti-tuberculosis League organized under the auspices of the Hampton Negro Conference of 1909. We urge the collection of data which to be of value, must be absolutely accurate concerning the mortality resulting from this disease; and also the preparation of simple instructions looking to the prevention as well as to the treatment and cure of tuberculosis. New York, July 25.—Colonel Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of President Booker T. Washington to speak at the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in New York City at The Palm Garden, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 17th, 18th and 19th. Colonel Roosevelt's address should easily prove one of the chief attractions of this coming meeting. In addition to Colonel Roosevelt himself, addresses will be made by some of the most successful Negro business men and women throughout the country. The present program as it is being formulated promises to be as interesting as any of the previous programs of this valued organization. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor of The New York Evening Post, Mayor William J. Gaynor, Borough President McAneny, and a number of responsible New York business men, will also be present and speak. The social features being arranged by the New York Negro Business League are unusually attractive. Delegates intending to be present are urged to send early notice of such intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, Chairman Reception Committee, 213 West 53rd Street, New York City, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, Chairman Committee of Arrangements, 247 West 46th Street, New York City. Lake Mohonk, N. Y., July 19. A rather unusual but interesting spectacle was presented before the four hundred wealthy guests of the Lake Mohonk Hotel this week when Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., spoke at a meeting with Booker T. Washington in the interest of the Tuskegee Institute. The address delivered by Charles Banks was interesting and unusual because for the first time these wealthy Northern people heard a successful Negro banker and business man tell the story of his success and the success of his community. WHITE SOUTHERNER RAPED COLORED GIRL Spartanburg, July 13.—Guilty with a recommendation to mercy, was the verdict returned this afternoon in the case of W. N. Kennedy, a white man charged with criminal assault on a colored girl under the age of 14 years. The case was one of the most interesting that has been heard in the General Sessions Court in Spartanburg for some time. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New York, July, 27.—"Jack" Johnson engaged passage today on the steamship Kaiser Wilheima der Grosse, which leaves for Plymouth, England, on Aug. 9. He is to occupy a cabin de luxe, for which the charge is $800. Mrs. Johnson will accompany the Negro champion on his European trip. Washington, D. C. July 18. Whitefield McKinley, well known Negro real estate dealer of this city, has been appointed Collector of Customs here, the technical designation of the office being the Port of Georgetown, D. C. News of Mr. McKinley's selection by President Taft was received here Tuesday from Secretary Norton at Beverly. It is stated that the appointment signifies the recognition of Negroes in important Federal positions. El Paso, Texas, July 25.—Frank Lawson, a Negro, and formerly a member of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, colored, and among those dismissed from the service following the "shooting up" of Brownville, Texas, this morning force his way into the home of his father-in-law, C. C. Shelton, and fatally shot his wife and his mother-in-law, and ran. The Negro was soon captured and officers rescued him from the mob just in time to prevent a lynching. Mr. Isaac Fisher, discussing the subject "Untrodden Paths," in the July A. M. E. Review, says: "I believe the time is ripe for Negro investigation and thought to accomplish creative work in fields of human endeavor whose harvest shall be for the good of humanity." Mr. Fisher strikes a vital chord in his suggestion. Negroes are not as paintaking along creative and constructive lines as is necessary to build a strong people. Greenville, Miss., July 19.—The remains of the late Bishop Edward W. Lampton, who died Saturday in Petoskey, Mich., at the age of fifty-two years, was brought to this city for burial. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon. Bishop Lampton had been ailing for several months, and was in Michigan in hopes of regaining his health. The deceased was one of the most prominent Negroes in the South, and was presiding Bish- NO.46 op of the Mississippi and Louisiana A. M. E. conferences. He was elected Bishop at Norfolk, Va., in May, 1908. Bishop Lampton was also for years Grand Master of the Masons of the State of Mississippi. The deceased is survived by a widow and four daughters. New York, July 26.—Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, is to get a $25,000 diamond studded belt emblematic of the heavyweight champion of the world from the colored people throughout the United States, and the presentation is to be made at a big dinner to be given in this city some time in November. Subscriptions are being solicited by a committee headed by "Baron" Wilkins, the leader of the Negro colony in this city. It is said that $5,000 has been practically assured by the New York Negroes. A systematic effort to gather subscriptions in all cities is to be made. The belt will be of solid gold, studded with 200 diamonds of different sizes, the center stone to weigh more than four carats. Louisville, Ky., July 19.—The seventh biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women met at Louisville, Ky., July 11-16. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Louisville City Federation of Clubs at the C. M. E. Church in Chestnut street. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, of New Bedford, Mass., the national president, called the convention to order and presided throughout the session. The election of officers resulted as follows: Miss E. C. Carter, of New Bedford, Mass., President; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala., vice-president-at-large; Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, Columbus, Ohio, treasurer; Mrs. R. O. E.

The National Association is the most influential gathering among colored women in the world, and has an enrollment of more than 1,000 clubs, representing about 150,000 colored women. The organization weilds a great influence upon the moral uplift through the club and home life of the colored people in this country.

Oklahoma City, to which Governor Haskell moved the capital of Oklahoma from Guthrie, has had the remarkable growth of almost 540 per cent in ten years. Fire which started Sunday night, wiped out the town of Wadsworth, thirty-five miles east of Reno, Nev., causing a loss estimated at $50,000. Nearly every building in the place was destroyed. While running a race with a west-bound Rio Grande express train Monday near Grand Junction, Colo., an auto loaded with joy riders was struck and three of them were instantly killed. A dispatch from Seattle says: "Eight or ten new forest fires were reported Tuesday. The rain was too light to be of any benefit. There are several thousand men fighting the flames." George E. Hall, a pioneer of Washington, who blew his head off with dynamite last week, bequeathed $15,000 to the Seattle Humane Society to be used in bettering the conditions of working horses. An opium "still" and distributing house was found by revenue officers in a Chinese tea store in Kansas City. The officers found $27,790 worth of opium and $25,000 in gold, silver and paper money packed away in trunks, boxes and sacks and hidden under mattresses. While no case of the human plague has appeared in San Francisco in two years and four months and no case of rat plague has been found there in a year and six months, the deadly war on the extermination of rats in the Pacific coast metropolis continue without relaxation. Perhaps the greatest suit under the anti-boycott law yet to be fully tested will soon be brought by the Western Federation of Miners against the Homestake Mining Company of South Dakota. Friday a committee on President Moyer's report reported back in favor of his recommendation that the best legal talent obtainable be engaged to bring suit against the Homestake Company. If suit is brought it will be based on the grounds that several months ago the mining company closed its property to union men and compelled all miners employed afterwards to sign a card stating they did not belong to any labor union and in consideration of the employment not to join any union labor organization. The Western Federation of Miners believes this is a violation of the constitutional rights of free speech and assembly granted to every citizen of the United States. SPORT. Won. Lost. Pct.

Crossing diplomatic swords with Norway the State Department, replying to protests from New Orleans commercial interests against Norwegian recognition of the Bluefields, Nicaragua, blockade, has declared Bluefields to be an open port. Norway, it was said, was misinformed of conditions there. The population of Rhode Island as shown by the census returns, the first given out for a state, indicate an increase of more than 118,000. This figure is not sufficiently large to insure an additional representative in Congress. Thus, for at least ten years more, the state will have to get on with two members, as it has been compelled to do since the apportionment under the first national census in 1790. In order to protect the interests of the government as well as those of settlers and other claimants of lands within the national forests, the departments of the interior and agriculture have entered into a co-operative programme that will govern the prosecution of contested cases. Under its terms both the general land office and the forest service will be adequately represented at hearings before the registers and receivers of land offices of all cases involving forest lands. The department of agriculture is given the same right as a private contestant to appeal to the secretary of the interior from any decision rendered by the commissioner of the general land office.

Mrs. Rhoda Lutes, the oldest lady of the western slope, died at Grand Junction as the result of a fall which she sustained several days ago. She was a little over 95 years old. Farmers around Ridgway expect to gather about 100,000 bushels of wheat from their 2,500 acres this year. There is a mill at Ridgway, too.

Denver, Colo. 70 per cent. of the country's total, and at the present time have 11,632 miles equipped for the new experiment. The new means of communication between stations is to be the telephone. For several years railroad officials have been considering the telephone as a possible substitute for the key in the operation of trains. Nothing was done except in a small way, because there was no way to prevent every other person on the line from hearing the message. The invention of the "selector" put the matter in a new light. The "selector," which has been made practicable, is an instrument that makes it possible for the central office to communicate with any suboffice unknown to all the other suboffices. The suboffices to communicate with each other must do so through the central office. Only one set of wires is used. Recent events have added to the arguments in favor of the telephone. One of the most effective was the decision by Judg Kenesaw M. Landis of the United States court upholding the nine-hour law for railroad employees. In order to obey this law the railroads must have an additional force of 15,000 telegraph operators, the estimated salaries of which would aggregate $10,000,000 a year. It would be far less difficult to secure competent telephone operators, the advocates of the telephone train dispatching system contend, because it would require not more than one-fifth the time for them to qualify. Another economical argument in favor of the telephone is that in the country districts the offices could be manned by "natives" with just as good, if not better, results than could be obtained by importing operators. The residents would be willing to accept lower wages in order to live at home. It is estimated by some of the leading railroads that a saving of from 15 to 46 per cent. could be effected in this manner. The recent tieup in Mexico of the national railways because of a strike of their American telegraph operators is pointed to as another argument in favor of the telephone. The possibility of a general traffic pros- Many Acres of Fine Farm Land Idle By JUST WALBOM Des Moines, Iowa Some time ago I read about emigration, of the American farmer to Canada in search of good land. Is that really possible? Are those farmers ignorant of the fact that there are thousands and thousands of acres of the finest land on earth, in the United States, waiting for the plow? Do they think that by going to Canada they can secure better prices for their products? If so they are very much mistaken. There is no country on earth where better prices are paid on farm products than in the United States... I have a small tract of land, only ten acres, but I know that by growing vegetables and small fruits and by raising poultry a small family will have enough to support it through life on even so little ground. I intend to settle down on my piece of land in the fall and as soon as my first crop of potatoes is marketed, for which I expect to receive a return of from $100 to $150 an acre, I will plant orange and fig trees, and between the trees set out strawberries and cabbages. It requires a great deal of patience, but if a man is determined to win and puts all of his strength and will power in for that purpose, he will at least succeed in the great race for independence. Being a wage worker and realizing the uncertainty of procuring a good living by such a life, I came to the conclusion that a piece of land was my only salvation. My advice to every wage worker is to secure a piece of land before it is too late. There is still land to be had from Lake Michigan to the gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. How Many Banks Are Wrecked By LOUIS BENKO In nine cases out of ten the embezzler who wrecks a bank uses falsified or worthless papers as a considerable part of the assets and as the abstractions are made gradually, covering several years, it's safe to say that the examiner had failed to investigate the nature of these papers as to their real value. In the recent $137,000 crime at Lewiston, Idaho, it is stated that the defalcation extended over a period of five years, aided by manipulation of the daily balance on an adding instrument. Isn't this a most ridiculous and annoying statement? The national bank examiners' absolute duty is to investigate every amount and figure of the assets and liabilities, to refoot each column and to find out in this way with absolute correctness the actual balance. If he failed to do it he is guilty and must be held criminally and the government financially responsible for the depositor's money. For the depositor makes his deposit at a national bank with entire confidence—perhaps to awaken some day to learn that he has lost his little savings of long years' toil because of the examiner's carelessness. And in most cases the depositor must be contented with the moral And in most cases the depositor must be contented with the moral satisfaction when the thief has been given a long term in the penitentiary.

American boys are pampered too much by indulgent parents, declares a learned professor of the University of Colorado, in a lecture full of logic and striking conclusions. Crying as well as laughing is a necessary and valuable form of exercise in the development of youthful faculties, and parents make a mistake in seeking to have their children spared the one or avoid the other to the fullest natural extent. Punishment for youthful errors and the sting of healthful hardship are beneficial to boys who are later to assume the labors and responsibilities of the world, and the desire of fathers to save their boys from the rough experiences through which they themselves have passed is often the excuse for pampering which injures and unfits the youngster for the things he should do. This lesson has a special application to the colored boy, which is very little recognized. In spite of the generally erude domestic surroundings of the average Negro family, where the problem of daily sustenance allows little room for consideration of the finer development of the child, there is nevertheless the lurking memories of the master-driven lives of our forefathers, and the natural but spasmodic sternness of the parent in the endeavor to direct the upbringing of the child, is often tempered with overindulgence or utterly spoiled with long periods of leniency or slothful neglect. No American child can have a harder row to hoe than that which falls to the lot of the average Negro boy, but he gets very little instruction or parental preparation at home of the kind needed to properly meet his coming trials. The fact that his conditions are to be hard makes it the more necessary that the Negro boy should be made brave and hardy, but often he is not so. He is apt not to average up well in contact or in youthful conflict with the white boy. While every idea of the natural necessity of race conflict should be avoided carefully and consistently, Negro boys have no more excuse for cowardly conduct under any circumstance than white boys have. The writer recently saw three white boys, 8 to 10 years of age, meet on the street a colored boy as big as the largest white boy, and when the crowd of little white rough and readies made a show of chasing the colored boy, the latter took to the street yelling "mama" at the top of his voice. The three toughs were satisfied with the yelp of their frightened "inferior," and went their way busily discussing more important things. The colored youngster was a pampered coward. He was in no danger, but he screamed and ran at the first evidence of hostility. There are too many like him. It is a big mistake to raise colored boys in this wav. They have not had enough lickings at home to make them indifferent to the dangers of the street. Their tear wells are full to overflowing because their mothers have made soft-hearted darlings of them. They are not as rough and ready as boys should be, and with the home codling and indulgence of after years, they neglect passing opportunities, get false ideas of life and its conditions and fail to do what they should do for the rugged development of a race that must fight to win. WHAT MAKES COLORADO DEMOCRATIC, There is a question that may be considered simple, silly or complex, according to the position of the reader relative to the political fence which is supposed to divide the party herds and keep the sheep from the goats and the swine from the cattle. In the humble opinion of The Colorado Statesman, Colorado ought to be a Republican state of such an assured character that the change of its political trend might be accomplished only through the heedless adoption of fallacious doctrines and policies by its party administrators in direct contradiction to the wiser examples of the Republican party in the nation, whose control remains so generally unbroken. In all of her commercial, industrial and material interests Colorado is in direct touch with those sections of the country which are the natural strongholds of Republicanism, and she possesses no special interests which should lead her out of political harmony with those heavier populated sections. While it does not follow that the lack of political harmony deprives us of the natural fruits of our own resources to any extent, it does follow that it makes more difficult and precarious our opportunities for the rapid advancement of all those greater interests which must derive support and perhaps initiation from national legislation. But the value of this uncontradicted condition, often preached and illustrated on the stump, has been persistently discounted in late years by local, incidental circumstances, enlarged and manufactured into state issues, and by the negligent work, or lack of work, of Republican party leaders who thus demonstrate the absence of a political shrewdness as great as that possessed by their handicapped opponents. The political confidence of the laboring elements is a valuable and necessary asset which the Republican party of the nation endeavors consistently to hold and deserve, and its efforts need to be supplemented by such special work and care on the part of state organizations as local and state conditions require. The growing Socialist sentiment in the country has no more rational excuse for allignment with the Democratic party under any circumstance than with the Republican party, for both are fundamentally at variance with it, but in Colorado it has been permitted to find false and artful grounds of coalition whereupon the Democratic minority party has successively benefitted. That tendency upon the part of certain Republican leaders and newspapers to scorn and ridicule the natural demands of any portion of the laboring element, especially the men who labor in the mines, should be repudiated and redeemed with consistent party pledges, capable of being kept. While the constitutional principles of the lawful and orderly administration of government must be maintained, the conciliation of ever-recurring industrial differences should find some resort under the law for all men who are not absolute outlaws. The necessity for treating all other elements of the people, naturally affiliated with the Republican party, with like consideration and encouragement is clear to politicians who honestly endorse and appreciate Republican principles and who comprehend their unlimited possibilities. The unwise and improper treatment of the above enumerated conditions by those charged with the leadership of the Republican party in the state, furnish the most plausible reason why Colorado, at the present time, is practically Democratic. "Selector" Now Makes 'Phone Practical By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE WENTY-FIVE years ago the man with the temerity to suggest that the telegraph would disappear from the railroads within half a century would have been set down as a fool—or crazy. T Today the railroad telegraph is on the brink of the abyss and a little shove will push it over. Thirty of the principal railroads of the United States are experimenting with a substitute for the telegraph. Eighty have given serious consideration to the subject and a majority have decided to begin the change. These eighty roads operate 211,681 miles of track, he telephone. The possibility of a general trame prostration would have been averted, the argument goes, if telephones had been in use, for the telephones could have been manned by residents of the country. A. H. The perfection of the "selector" is believed to have met the former objection to the telephone that it would not be as safe as the telegraph. With every phoned message from one station to another going through the central office a constant check would be kept on the operators and the trains. Some time ago I read about emigration, of the American farmer to Canada in search of good land. Is that really possible? Are those farmers ignorant of the fact that there are thousands and thousands of acres of the finest land on earth, in the United States, waiting for the plow?

The pastor will preach both morning and evening. A special message will be delivered to the non-Christians Sunday evening. You should hear this message. The Sunday services will begin promptly and let out promptly. You will not experience any tedium in worshipping with us. All who enter our doors are made to feel welcome. The Epworth League topic for Sunday evening is: "The Life Hereafter." (I Cor. 15:53; I John 3:2) These discussions are helpful in every way for the development of the spiritual life as well as contributing to ones literary advancement. Here is the opportunity to the young graduate or ambitions young people who expect to enter a public career. The prayer and class meeting is helpful in every way. Good results are coming from those who personally invite people who are unsaved to the mid-week meetings. Twenty-six were invited last week and impressed with the necessity of making a decision to lead the higher life. All Christians and non-Christians are invited. Mr. Cornelius Rice is destined to become of the great baritone singers of the race, if he keeps up the gait that he is going. He rendered a splendid solo last Sunday evening during the services. We advise the young man to take a special course in vocal music. The Sabbath school under the leadership of Mr. G. W. Anderson will picnic today at Luna Park. The park management sent a special invitation to the Sunday schools of the city to take part in the great "kinderfest." Professor Patterson of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, delivered a crisp and sparkling address on "Essentials of Education" before an appreciative audience of the Epworth League last Sunday evening. Professor Patterson is a living representative of what training will do for one who has something in him to draw out. The Rev. R. Davis, pastor of Centennial M. E. Church, Kansas City, Mo., was with us last Sunday evening and delivered one of his strong messages which held the audience with wrap attention from beginning to end. RevDavis is in these parts spending a much needed vacation with friends in Denver and Colorado Springs. He left Wednesday for the Springs, where he will be entertained by Mr. Frank J. Loper, one o f the leading citizens of that "burg." A storm struck the parsonage recently and blew the tops from the flour bin, sugar recepticle and the door from the larder. When the debris had cleared away the dining room table was groaning under the burden of many things for the physical man. Little Thomas and Wendell were seen jumping around the table in happiness and glee and asking many questions about the good things left for them. The pastor and the queen of the parsonage wore a "smile that would not come off" and were profuse in their thanks and appreciation for this generosity. Mr. and Mrs. T. S.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Of Colorado Grand Lodge Hold Sixth Annual Session at Colorado Springs. Many Hundred Visitors Present. Colorado Springs, July 27.—Several hundred members of the Negro Knights of Pythias are in Colorado Springs, attending the sixth annual grand lodge meet. Today the delegates spent the time sightseeing. Several parties of the visitors, with their families, went to Mount Manitou and the Garden of the Gods. The convention will close tomorrow with ritualistic work. At the opening of the convention Mayor Avery welcomed the delegates in an address on the part of the city last night. C. W. Buford of 1141 Downing avenue, Denver, a prominent member of the lodge, responded on behalf of the grand lodge of Colorado. He said, in part: Brother Chancellor, Mr. Mayor Brother Grand Chancellor, Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens: I keenly appreciate the honor conferred upon me in being asked to respond to the magnanimous welcome extended to our order by the mayor of this beautiful and progressive city. Colorado Springs is one of the best, if not the very best, advertised small cities on this continent. Yes, her fame extends beyond the Atlantic ocean, and fascinated and bewitched the hardy and noble sons and daughters of Johnny Bull to such an extent that she bears the cognomen of "Little London." But unlike old smoky, loggy London, on the banks of the Thames, she contributes more soul-inspiring sunshine and line-giving waters to humanity than the Old World city can ever hope to do. Colorado Springs holds aloft the beacon of liberty in her commission form of government; that is anti-rum, anti-graff and anti-all other immoral and oppressive privileges. The civic virtue and social progress of the people of this city are not to be marveled at when we reflect that they live so near the Garden of the Gods and the Mount of the Holy Cross, whose sacred emblem, like the smiles of the Diety, beckons and inspires the mayor of a truly twentieth century city. This gathering sufficiently demonstrates our progress to refute the merciless diatribes heaped upon us by those who attempted to sow the seed of race hate and who thrive upon the anti-American doctrine of segregation and unjust discrimination, which, it allowed to flourish, will prove suicidal to our republican institutions and the brotherhood of man. The autocracy of Dyonsious is still abroad in the land, social evolution and governmental progress have given autocracy to the hydra-headed and to slay one head by fraternal or political revolution may mean the putting forth of another. Therefore, we must so shape our conduct, fraternally and otherwise, as to annihilate them all. Wanted position as cornetist leader of brass band or first in orchestra. For particulars write J. H.

Edwards Modest Custodian of Millions Music in Famous Calumet Mine Music in Famous Calumet Mine James Gilfillan, Whom President Garfield Made Treasurer of the United States, Kept the Good Will of Official Washington. Shortly after General Garfield had been inaugurated president of the United States, he found that it was expedient for him to name a new treasurer of the United States. But he would have none of the persons who had made known their anxiety to fill that post of little or no discretionary power, yet one of great responsibility. "I am anxious," he said to Secretary of the Treasury Windom, "to appoint, if I can find him, some man who has served as clerk in various grades in the treasury department and who will size up the position. It is a good chance for me to show that this administration is in favor of civil service." Secretary Windom and other friends of the administration made inquiries concerning various treasury clerks, and at last they directed the president's attention to James Gillifillan, who had been a clerk for many years in the department, but who, in all that time, had become known to but very few persons in official life. But when the president heard his name he was delighted. "Why," he exclaimed, "why didn't I think of him before? I knew him at Williams college. I have known him as a faithful and competent clerk, and unless I find some serious objection to him, I shall nominate him as treasurer of the United States." And thus it came about that an humble treasury clerk was suddenly lifted up to the treasurership of the nation. I had known Mr. Glifillan for some time, and after he had qualified as treasurer I called upon him in his new office to extend congratulations. To my pleasant surprise, I found him absolutely unaffected by his sudden and altogether unexpected promotion to be the custodian of some hungingly, "that your new responsibilities haven't changed you a bit." Mr. Glifillan laughed in turn. "No?" he said. "I hope not." Then his face and voice grew serious. "I have been in Washington long How Welsh Methodist Miners at the Close of Work Each Day Sang Hymns Deep Down in the Earth. In the summer of 1882 I was the guest, in Calumet, Michigan, of the late Charles Hebard, a man of large wealth, who had done much to develop the lumber industry of northern Michigan, and who, at that time was regent of the University of Michigan. And as we were in the very heart of Michigan's world-famous copper district, it was natural that there should be talk of that metal. "I have been told," I said to Mr. Hebard, "that prospectors, who were searching the upper peninsula for the true vein of copper, one evening saw a pig rooting at the stump of a tree. They went to drive the pig into his pen, when, of a sudden, they saw something glisten, and, upon examination, discovered that it was a vein of copper, which subsequently proved to be the vein leading to the working of the now famous Calumet and Hecla mine." "Well," answered Mr. Hebard, "I have heard that story many times. I have also heard that it was a dog that was pawing at the root of the tree which led to the discovery of the great vein, and I have always been of the opinion, since I have lived here, that the romantic story of the finding of the Calumet and Hecla, which, I suppose, has yielded greater wealth than any other mine in the United States, has some foundation of fact. But I am going to show you this afternoon something which I think is of far greater value and deeper significance than any one can find in the material wealth that has come from this mine." Mr. Hebard broke off with a smile, and would say nothing more. But shortly before five o'clock that afternoon he led me over half a mile of country to the opening of the great shaft of the Calumet and Hecla, at that time several hundred feet in depth. "Stand here and listen," he said. He looked at his watch. "It is now five o'clock. I want you to listen attentively." For a minute or two, strain my ears as I would, I could hear nothing. Then, from far beneath the surface of the earth, there was wafted up to me what seemed like a faint yet distinct sound of music. I could not identify any melody; the music seemed to have the quality that is in the aeolian harp when the wind strikes the telegraph wire at the right angle. There was a weird beauty of sound. Gradually, it became more and more distinct, and then I seemed to hear, Helped Make an Artist Famous Helped Make an Artist Famous enough," he continued, "and have had many opportunities to observe the careers of public men sufficiently to have forced upon me the conclusion that the one great danger which has overcome so many brilliant men, and so many subordinates, in the government service is one to which too little heed is given. I intend, if possible, to avoid that danger. "You look surprised, and, I suppose, you are wondering whether I mean bad habits, especially whisky drinking, of which there is far too much done by public men and other government servants in this city. No, I do not mean whisky drinking, or gambling, or any of the other vices which would naturally come to mind. I am talking dreds of millions of dollars—as modest and unassuming as he was in the days of his government clerkship. "I see, Mr. Gifillian," I said, laugh about a far greater danger, a more insidious enemy to great public promise, and one which besets not only Henry Ward Beecher, Through His Love of Brilliant Colors Discovered George Inness and Predicted He Would Be Famous. "It is sometimes the merest chance or accident that brings a great artist and his work prominently before the public, and in this connection I often think of the manner in which the public came to take George Inness," said to me a year or so before his death, in 1902, the now famous American landscape painter, John Henry Twachtman, whose works did not attract attention or command high prices until after he had gone. "You have probably heard," continued Mr. Twachtman, "that Henry Ward Beecher was a greater lover of paintings and especially of vivid colors. He used to say that he could not carry a painting around in his pocket, but that he could get the gorgeous colors of one by carrying around loose gems, diamonds, rubles, emeralds and sapphires; and these precious stones vaguely, the melody of a gospel hymn. A moment later I was sure of it, and the creaking and grinding of the apparatus by which the miners ascended and descended into the shaft, seemed at the moment to be the appropriate diapason of the music. "Listen," came the voice of Mr. Heard. "Do you know that song?" "It is, 'There's a Light in the Window for Thee,'" I answered. "Yes," he whispered. And even as he spoke the melody changed, and up from the depths of the earth came voices singing in perfect unison that fine old hymn which has brought balm to many a wearied soul, "Nearer my God, to Thee." I stood as one spellbound, listening; and as the music of that choir invisible played strangely on my feelings, a car shot out of the shaft's mouth and came to a stop, a score of begrimed Welsh miners, with smiles shining through the dust and soil of the lower earth on their faces, stepped to the earth, grouped themselves about the shaft, and with touching simplicity and bared heads raised their voices in the measures of the long meter Doxology. Then, quietly, they disappeared, each on his way, to his own home. With a feeling akin to awe, I watched them out of sight. Then Mr. Hebard turned to me. "They do this every day when their work is over," he said, "and to me the sense of moral and religious obligation which these men express in their songs as they come up from the bowels of the earth, and in their final praise of their creator, as they safely stand once more on earth, is of far greater value and importance to mankind than all the millions of wealth that they and their predecessors have taken from the Calumet and Hecla mine." And I could not do aught but agree with him, with the songs of those sturdy Welsh Methodist miners still strangely ringing in my ears. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.) The Human Clock. Our brains are 70-year clocks. The Angel of Life winds them up once for all, then closes the case, and gives the key into the hand of the Angel of Resurrection. Tic-tac! tic-tac! go the wheels of thought; our will cannot stop them, they cannot stop themselves, sleep cannot still them, madness only makes them go faster, death alone can break into the case, and seizing the ever-swinging pendulum, which we call the heart, silence at last the clicking of the terrible escapement we have carried so long beneath our wrinkled foreheads.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. men who gain a little notoriety, but a lot of it, in public life. It is the 'big head.'" Mr. Glifillan held up his hands. "Why, I can count now, on my fingers," he exclaimed, "a dozen men who came here with great promise and didn't fulfill it because they yielded to the 'big head' the moment they felt themselves lifted up a little above their fellows. And in each case that I have in mind the 'big head' impaired the man's judgment, gave offense to all who came in contact with him, played the very old Harry with its victim's mental capacity, and speedily sent him back to private life unhonored and unsung. "No, whatever else I do here as treasurer of the United States—or don't do—I expect to maintain myself quietly, modestly and unaffectedly, as though I held the humblest office in the gift of the government." And that was Mr. Giffillian's record during his four years as custodian of Uncle Sam's millions. And when he retired as a result of Cleveland's election, the good will of practically all official Washington went with him. he would frequently take from his pocket, hold them in his hand and look at them long and earnestly, as though fascinated by the vivid colorings which they flashed forth. "Well, it happened one day that a friend saw Beecher looking at his gems in this manner. Finally, Beecher turned to him. 'I wish,' he exclaimed, 'I could find on a painter's canvas something that would fascinate me as much as these gems do. I mean some new painting that I have never seen before. I go to the galleries and the art exhibitions to see the old masters—but I want something new.' "A day or two later, Beecher, all excitement and enthusiasm, hunted out the same friend. "Come with me this instant," he cried. "Do you know, I discovered only yesterday just the landscapes that I want and that I spoke to you about. There is a man that I never heard of who is painting landscapes of that kind. I saw his studio and just walked in. He has some gorgeous ones there. I want you to come with me and look at them." "Who is the artist?" the friend asked. "His name is George—George—let me see—I have it written down on a memorandum,' and Mr. Beecher took from his pocket a small memorandum book and consulted it. 'Oh, yes,' he cried. 'it's Inness—George Inness.' "Together the two men went to the studio of Inness, and spent a couple of hours there. Mr. Beecher was in the seventh heaven of delight. He did not profess to be an art critic, nor an expert, but he knew what he liked and why, and as he and his friend left the studio he earnestly sald to the latter: I predict that this man Inness will become recognized some day as the greatest of American landscape painters—that he will become one of the immortals among artists." "That happened in the late sixties—and, do you know, pretty soon it began to be passed from one to another that Henry Ward Beecher had discovered an obscure artist and predicted that he would become recognized as the greatest of American landscape painters; laymen began to flock to Inness' studio, rich men began to buy his pictures, the artist's name and those of his works began to creep into the newspapers—and, at last, and in brief, George Inness became as famous as Henry Ward Beecher had prophesized. "I sometimes wonder," concluded Mr. Twachtman, "what would have been Inness' fate had not Henry Ward Beecher discovered him in a most accidental way? Would he have had to die to gain fame, as has been the case with so many other artists? And how small a part of that fortune which he won with the brush—the greatest gained through work by any American artist up to his time—would he have enjoyed in life?" (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.) A Horse's Points The average man thinks he knows a good deal about a horse. He speaks learnedly of fillies, geldings, three-year-olds, and what not, yet it is doubtful if one man in ten really knows a horse's points. Where, for instance, is the hock? What is the coronet? Who can place his hand on pastern, fetlock and stife? To what purpose is the canon devoted, and are the poll, crest and ergot useful in running, in eating, or in both? These are only a few of a horse's points—there are some three dozen of them in all. Too Great a Shock. Lady—What's become of the other clerk who used to be at this window?

Broiled Bluefish au Beuranoir Is Piece de Resistance—Finish Off With Cottage Pudding, Orange Sauce. Tapioca Cream Soup.—Soak a third of a cup of pearl tapioca over night. Cook in the morning with a quart of stock for one hour and set aside. For dinner cut one onion and two stalks of celery and put on to cook for 20 minutes with a pint of milk and a small piece of mace. Strain into the tapioca and stock, reheat and serve, seasoning to taste. Rice Balls for Soup.—Mix one cup cold boiled rice with one beaten egg, one tablespoon flour, one-third teaspoon salt and a bit of pepper. Form into balls and drop in the fast-bolling soup. Broiled Bluefish au Beuranoir.—Pan-broil the fish and place on platter. Have ready a sauce made by mixing together one tablespoonful each of vinegar and minced parsley, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and salt and pepper to season. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a frying pan and when it browns add the other ingredients. Bring to the boil and pour over the fish. Curried Tomatoes.—Grate an apple and chop an onion and fry them until tender; add a teaspoon of good curry powder and mix with a little gravity or milk. Simmer for a few minutes and spread the mixture over the tomatae, which have been cut and fried. Serve with boiled rice. Cottage Pudding With Orange Sauce.—Rub three or four large lumps of sugar upon the rind of one orange until all the yellow part is taken off. Scrape the pulp out of two oranges and add them to the flavored sugar. Mix a teaspoon of cornstarch very smoothly with three tablespoons of maraschino. Stir all gently over the fire until it thickens, adding more sugar if oranges were sour. Serve at once with any preferred cottage pudding or slices of stale cake which have been steamed. Almond and Apple Jelly. Almonds and apples make an appetizing combination. Cover one-half ounce of gelatine with a few spoonfuls of cold water and let it soak for ten minutes. Grate four large apples and mix to them one-half gill of whipped cream; put enough water to the gelatine that they will fill a pint measure and place over the fire. Stir until smooth, add one-quarter pound of sugar (more if the apples are very tart), and remove from the fire; dip out one tablespoonful and place where it will keep warm. Add the gelatine to the apples and cream, with one pound of blanched almonds, and let an assistant beat this while you prepare the mold. Dip the mold in cold water, drain and pour in the tablespoonful of reserved gelatine; hold the mold near the fire and turn it round to give an even coating of the gelatine. Before it has had time to set, sprinkle with almonds toasted a light brown and cut into thin strips. When beaten light pour it into the mold and place it on ice. When firm and cold turn out and serve with whipped cream. Six ounces of melted chocolate may be substituted for the apples. The base of the pudding is heaped with whipped cream. Escalloped Foods. Escalloped foods are often more attractive if prepared in individual portions. Half a dozen fireproof china ramekins cost but little and are of special value; individual casseroles are even more useful. Two or three tin molds and a half dozen timbal molds, to set in a pan of hot water for reheating foods, also count for much. Always keep in mind when using left-overs that the material is already cooked and merely needs reheating or browning quickly; therefore, any sauce added must be cooked from 5 to 15 minutes, according to method of making, before using in what are often called made dishes. Also remember that the finest and best flavor is lost in reheating and that careful seasoning is essential. Appledore Soup. For Lillian Ellen: Three medium-sized potatoes boiled until tender in salted water, then mashed. Fry three tablespoonfuls of chopped onion in three tablespoonfuls of butter, add to this tablespoonfuls of flour and one quart scalded milk. Cook five minutes, then add potato; then add $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls salt, one-half teaspoonful each celery salt and paprika, three tablespoonfuls of tomato catchup, one teaspoonful chopped parsley. Serve immediately. Asparagus with Cheese. Having boiled the asparagus for 12 minutes arrange in a deep earthen dish or casserole in layers, with grated Parmesan cheese between. Brown a piece of minced onion in butter, sprinkle over the top of the dish, then sprinkle with grated cheese and fresh bread crumbs and cook 15 minutes in a moderate oven. Peanut Crisps. One quart roasted peanuts, whites of two eggs, three dozen oyster crackers. Shell the nuts and chop fine; beat the egg whites very stiff; take the crackers one by one and dip first in the egg and then in the nuts, dry o; buttered paper in the oven. Griddle Cake Batter. To make batter for griddle cakes or fritters, have equal quantities of liquid and flour; for cake or muffin dough have a cupful of liquid to two cupfuls of flour. LIVES SAVED AT SMALL COST Figures Showing Expenditures For the Maintenance of Tuberculosis Sanatoriums. In a comparative study of the cost of maintenance in thirty tuberculosis sanatoriums the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis found that the food cost in most of the institutions represented one-third of the annual expenditures. The average daily food cost per patient was $0.544. The expenditures for salaries and wages represented nearly another third, being $0.481 per day per patient out of a total of $1.669. The fuel, oil and light cost was $0.206 per capita per diem, or about one-eighth of the total cost. The daily cost in the several institutions ranged all the way from $0.946 per patient to $2.555. In the far west and southwest, as in Colorado and New Mexico and California, the cost was higher than in the east, in New York and New England, being $2.025 per patient as against $1.748. The total expenditures of the thirty institutions were $1,363,953.28, while the total receipts from all sources were $1,548,525.74. More than 70 per cent. of the receipts were received from public funds and private benefactions, only 28.8 per cent. being from patients. Stated in another way only 35 per cent. of the total expenditures were received from patients, the remainder being made up from other sources. Try This. This Summer.

A lawyer once asked a man who had at various times sat on several juries: "Who influenced you mose—the lawyers, the witnesses or the judge?"

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a drug-gist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West Huron St., Chicago, Ill., June 29, 1909." HIS WELCOME FOR PRODIGAL Cowboy Would Have Reversed Proceedings as Recorded in the Scriptures. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous Denver juvenile court said in the course of a recent address in charity: "Too many of us are inclined to think that, one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy. "An itinerant preacher preached to a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.' He described the foolish prodigal's extravagance and dissipation; he described his penury and his husk-eating with the swine in the sty; he described his return, his father's loving welcome, the rejoicing, and the preparation of the fatted calf. "The preacher in his discourse noticed a cowboy staring at him very hard. He thought he had made a convert, and addressing the cowboy personally, he said from the pulpit: "My dear friend, what would you have done if you had had a prodigal son returning home like that?" "Me!' said the cowboy, promptly and fiercely, 'I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf.'"—Detroit Free Press. The Deacon's Parable. A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church.

TO AWAIT DETAILS TO AWAIT DETAILS WASHINGTON SCIENTISTS DON'T ACCEPT DR. LANGE'S CLAIMS. Making Precious Metals—Prof. F. W. Clarke of the Geological Survey Discusses Efforts of Alchemists in Transmutation. Scientists in Washington seemingly are not thrown into any fever of excitement over the reported transmutation of the baser metals into gold and silver by F. W. Lange of Scranton. The attitude of all of them is that although in the light of present chemical development such a thing is not absolutely impossible, the Scientists in ingly are not Washington seem thrown into any fever of excitement over the reported transmutation of the baser metals into gold and silver by F. W. Lange of Scranton. The attitude of all of them is that although in the light of present chemical development such a thing is not absolutely impossible, the probability of any such thing being done on a commercial scale is so very remote as to hardly warrant discussion. In a general talk on the subject Prof. F. W. Clarke of the geological survey, said: "Nobody can say positively that any development in chemistry is absolutely out of the question, but it is very safe to say that any revolutionary development is most unlikely. A revolutionary development by an amateur is even more unlikely. All we can say is that we have not even had an intelligent statement yet of what Dr. Lange claims to have accomplished, and we have absolutely no details on which to base a judgment. "Transmutation has been sought as far back as we have any records. Paracelsus was comparatively modern. It goes back even to Babylonia and Assyria. The old alchemists were not so unreasonable as might be thought in the way they argued, especially in view of chemical knowledge or lack of knowledge at that time. They argued that it was possible to turn wood into charcoal, and therefore that it ought to be possible to turn one metal into some other. "The work of Ramsay in England is different, of course, but that is in the line of transmutation. He has managed to turn radium into helium. He has published his methods and I have seen his work. But there is a big gulf between a laboratory experiment dealing with a ten-thousandth of a grain and making any commercial use of the same thing. Ramsay's work has all been in the line of degradation, of reducing a material of a higher atomic weight to that of a lower. "But, as I say, laboratory work and commercial work are very different. It is true that artificial diamonds have been made in France. They were true diamonds, but they were too small to be of any use. They cost more to make also than natural diamonds cost to find. Some man may come along in time and improve the process, and it may be possible then to manufacture diamonds to compete with the natural ones. "There is a great deal of self-deception about such work also. Nearly all lead contains a trace of silver, and much of the commercial copper a trace of gold. By modern methods this gold is extracted and it sometimes pays the expense of refining the copper. Many of the old alchemiists found the precious metals in this way and thought they actually had made the rarer metal out of the baser. "Of course, there has been a great amount of trickery in such work. It is easy enough to put an amount of gold or silver into a crucible and then claim to have made it. You can claim almost anything that it would be hard to disprove and impossible to prove. I can claim that there is a vein of gold carrying $1,000 a ton under the base of the Washington monument, but it would hardly pay to dig for it. If Dr. Lange has done anything it will be time enough to discuss it when we have his method of operation in detail." There is no record in the treasury of Dr. Lange having passed any material through the mint. Squirrels in Capitol Grounds. There are lots of squirrels in the capitol grounds in Washington and the pretty little things have lost their fear of their natural enemy, man, because, of course, they are protected from destruction as far as man-made rules will do this. The children in the parks play with them very gently and not infrequently these small creatures in their search for something to eat will run up a man's trousers leg and then there is a circus, but one of them broke into the United States capitol the other day. He got in on the senate side into the marble room and perched himself on the weather instruments which are handled by Mr. Jones. What that small creature did to the set of astronomical instruments was a plenty. He was finally chased out, running down the elevator shaft all by himself. Washington's "Rubber-Neck" Wagons Washington's Rubber-neck Wagons "Get on one of these rubber-neck wagons," said Senator Piles of Washington to one of his constituents who had come to see the national capital. That is, if you want to see the sights about Washington, there is nothing like a rubber-neck wagon for getting about the city and learning what it all means. If you want to see the capitol building I will put you in the hands of a guide who will show it to you." UNCLE SAM IS BUSY AT LAW Government Has 72 Cases on Supreme Court Docket, Many of Which Are Important. The United States government will figure very largely in the business before the Supreme court during the next term. Many of the cases in which its representatives will appear are of general public interest. The court has about 600 cases on the docket. In the first 300 the United States has 72. At the last term 187 cases were disposed of. Among them are a peonage charge coming from Florida; the controversy involving alleged contempts by Samuel Gompers and boycotts by the Federation of Labor; two corporation tax taxes touching the application of the law to real estate holding companies; the reargument of the Standard Oil and the Tobacco trust issues, and cases under the Hepburn railway rate law, in which is brought up the question of the liability of an original carrier for loss in transit; the Press Publishing company, involving alleged label of former President Roosevelt, and the Hipolite Egg company, the last named being the first to come up to the Supreme court under the pure food law. No time has been set for the reargement of the general corporation tax cases, in which the constitutionally of the law is at stake. The court wants them argued before a full bench. NYE'S NIECE A GREAT WIT Bright Young Woman Much Sought After by Members of Washington Society. One who is the niece of a famous wit is expected to live up to the reputation of the family, as Miss Frances Nye, the charming young daughter of Representative Frank Mellen Nye of Minneapolis, has found out, for Miss Nye is the niece of no less a person than the late Edgar W. Nye, who as "Bill" Nye kept the whole country laughing at his humorous sayings. Miss Nye fully meets all expectations, for she has a nimble wit of her own and the keen sense of humor which is inherent in the Nye family. She is quite capable of entertaining a roomful of friends and is known as one of the cleverest girls in Washington society. Miss Nye has spent her first grown-up season in the capital and has been a much invited and feted young person. Among the younger set she is known as one of the "jolliest" girls in town. She is bright and enjoys a wide popularity throughout officialdom. She is also very accomplished and cultivated, and, like most western girls, is interested in all the leading questions of the day. UNCLE SAM BALKS AT A BILL Refuses to Pay for a $4 Pair of Gloves For Secretary Knox's Coachman. A $4 pair of driving gloves for the coachman of the secretary of state ran the gamut of official scrutiny and finally was decreed not a proper expense for Uncle Sam to defray. This means that hereafter the man who handles the ribbons on Secretary Knox's thoroughbreds or sits on the box alongside the driver must buy his own clothes, get the secretary of state to pay for them out of his own pocket, or go without. The comproller of the treasury, the court of last resort in such matters, disallowed the $4. National Capitals' Dog Pound. The rather queer item, "one dog collar and lead," was the subject of an appropriation by congress just before adjournment. The amount involved was 60 cents. The explanation of the item appears in the annual report of the United States capitol police department. The "one dog collar and lead," it appears, is the sole equipment of the dog pound at the capitol. Under the statutory laws which apply to the big white building on the hill and its picturesque grounds it is unlawful for dogs or cats to trespass upon the reservation unless accompanied by their owners. Hence the capitol policemen are required to impound every such animal found upon the grounds. Not of the Leisure Class. Senator Cummins is not a member of "The Sons of Rest." From the time the Iowa senator landed in Washington as the successor of Senator Allison he has kept right on the job all the time. He has found very little time for anything outside of his senatorial duties, which have included a great deal of national work. Many senators have only local interests, but Iowa is taking hold of national affairs, and both senators have been busy with them. By getting on the interstate commerce committee Senator Cummins had an extra amount of work on account of the railroad bill which occupied so much of the time of the senate. Work of Women Broadens Statistics show that in 1909 the percentage of women in the civil service was 9.4, and that this year it is about 15. The handbook of the Industrial Union of Boston shows that women have shown themselves specially fitted for probation work and in management of reforgeatories for women and girls. In the playground and social service there is a demand for women and also in hospitals. A CLOVER LUNCHEON UNIQUE MOTIF FOR DECORATION FOR SMALL FUNCTIONS. One of the prettiest of luncheons for afternoon or evening can be worked out with clover as a motif. All the decorations can be of clover, red and white. Bowls of the fragrant blossoms should stand on mantel and tables, while in the center of the lunch table spread with trefoil design may be a block of green turf from which springs a bunch of fresh and growing pink white clover. Let the large red clover leaves radiate from this to each cover, where there should be little boutonnieres of leaves and blossoms. The refreshments can be Arcadian in their simplicity. If you wish to serve a course luncheon have berries au nature for the first course, then sorrel soup with croutons and sorrel leaves or cress as relishes. Follow with clover fritters, which are made from the white clover blossoms dipped in regular fritter batter and browned quickly in olive oil, and clover sandwiches, which are delicate slices of home-made bread spread with sweet butter that has been packed in a covered basket of fresh clover blossoms long enough to become impregnated with the odor. Hot biscuit and honey make a delightful course and honey cakes with strawberry ice cream may be the dessert. If you do not wish as many courses, clover sandwiches with honey cakes and icecream, supplemented by a fruit punch and home-made mints, pink and white, will be sufficient. Any of the flower or butterfly games will be appropriate. Here, for example, is a flower contest. Provide each girl with a typewritten copy of the questions, pencil and paper. The one who can answer such a list accurately receives the prize. 1. The flower of June. Rose. 2. The Easter flower. Lily. 3. The flower that calls to church. Belle. 4. The flower that describes a large and vigorous girl. Bouncing Baby. 5. The flower with dark eyes that blooms in July fields. Black Eyed Susan. 6. "Wee crimson tipped flower." Daisy. 7. The precise flower. Primrose. 8. A girl's name and the color of her hair. Marigold. 9. The flower that stands for thought. Pansy. 10. The flower associated with Faust. Marguerite. 11. The modest flower that poets love. Violet. 12. The flower that describes a number of Friends. Quaker Ladies. This list can be extended to include as many more names as desired. For prizes that can be made at home nothing is prettier than hand-embroidered belts or opera glass bags, using the clover blossom design. Instead of having a grab bag I would be stow the gifts by the unraveling of a cobweb. Before the arrival of the company wind strings of different colors all over the house, passing them through keyholes, outdoors, in at the windows, upstairs and down. When the time for unraveling the web arrives give each person the end of a string which she must follow until she finds the dainty little souvenir concealed at the end.—Emma Paddock Telford. Mock Chicken Loaf Cook slowly two cups of hominy grits and one teaspoon of salt in three pints of water for three hours. Oil a mold, and line it with a thick layer of the hot cereal, packing it down firmly. In the center put the following mixture: Moisten one cup of fine whole-wheat bread crumbs with two cups of hot milk, then add one-half cup each of chopped hickory and pecan-nut meats, two tablespoons of melted butter, one teaspoon each of onion juice, mixed herbs and salt, one-fourth teaspoon of pepper, and two heaten eggs. Cover the top smoothly with a layer of the hominy, and place the mold in a basin of hot water; bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Turn out and serve with nut sauce.—Harper's Bazar. Hints on Baking. If you find the cake is rising in a cone in the center you may be sure the oven is too hot. Never mix a cake until the oven is ready to receive it; it is likely to fall and be heavy. On adding citron to a cake shave it in thin slices, flour it and lay it between layers of the batter. When baking a cake try to have nothing else in the oven, then set the tin as near the center of the bottom shelf as possible. Never leave a cake standing in the tin in which it is baked—it will make it heavy. Dropped Doughnuts. One gill milk, one gill sugar, grated rind of one lemon, three gills flour, one egg, beaten separately; one-third teaspoon salt, one-third teaspoon nutmeg, one heaping teaspoon baking powder. Roll in powdered sugar. Very nice. Loops for Buttons. In making loops for buttons on a dress or shirtwaist they should be worked over a pencil, as they will launder and keep their shape much more satisfactorily. There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their expectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent. of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a-million women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.

A number of years ago there lived in northern New Hampshire a notorious woman-hater. It was before the day of ready-made clothing, and wanting a new suit, he was obliged to take the material to the village tailoress. She took his measurements, and when she cut the coat, made a liberal allowance on each seam. The man's dislike of women in general prevented his having a fitting. He took the finished garment without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the answer he made to the friendly loafer on his first visit to the post office, when he wore the despised article. "Got a new coat, Obed?" said the loafer. "No, I hain't!" said Obed. "I've got seven yards of cloth wrapped round me."—Youth's Companion. DESERVED IT.

IS JOINT PROPERTY OF ALL To No One Individual or Class May the Home Rightly Be Said to Belong. This home exists for the children," I once heard a father say, with an air of having pronounced a decision in court. The man was a judge on the bench and rather given to oracular statements in the family. He had risen rapidly in his profession, but I could not agree with him when I saw that his children under seven were helped at the table before their mother and grandmother and several guests had received the slightest had received had received even the very slightest attention. The little sentence was apologetic and accompanied by a smile, but the adoration for children thus expressed was a weakness. Not so had the foundation of character been laid for the successful barrister in his early home among the granite hills of New England. For whom does the home exist? Not alone for a husband, for a wife or a child, but for each and all who dwell together, united by the ties of blood and common affection, who know one another as only those can who meet in the informality of daily companionship and whose interests are subtly blended. "United we stand, divided we fall," may be written over every hearthstone. In a childless home husband and wife or brothers and sisters have continual need of refreshment and reinforcement in all that makes for strength, faith and hope, and the home exists just as much for them as it does for the parents who have their children to bring up and educate for their share in the world's work. If I can show you what I mean, it is this: No individual has the privilege of dominating a home.—Woman's Home Companion. --- Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds, by a Recognized Authority Now the Nightcap Novel Observation Party. Every once in a while some old amusement bobs up again in a new guise and is most enjoyable. Below I give a list of 40 objects and the answers.

Allow 20 minutes, then ask the guests into another room with the objects out of sight. Read the answers and award first, second and third prizes.

Colored luncheons are very popular and the menus as given below are simple, so that a hostess with one maid may carry them out successfully. For a green affair, have the decorations of ferns and white carnations; use white or delicately tinted china with all the glass possible, as the effect is cooling. The first course may be spinach soup, next deviled crabs or creamed sweetbreads, green peas, potatoes; use parsley as a garnish. For salad, have a mint aspic with cucumbers. Pistachio ice cream, green frosted small cakes and creme de menthe. A pink luncheon may start with chilled watermelon cut in cubes served in glasses, with a bit of sherry on it; if the day is cool, a tomato soup is Now the WITH the donning of her robe de nuit Milady faces the problem, what is to be done with straggling tresses when puffs and rats have been laid aside for the night. History tells us of a famous beauty of the court of Louis Le Grande Monarch, who had mirrors so placed in her four-posted curtained bed that the first thing her eyes beheld upon awaking was her own lovely image. There are few women who can stand this test, no matter how lovely they may be. Think you the smile of Mme. Le Marquis would have been so complacent had she been confronted by the reflection of straggling Medusa-like locks, no matter how beautiful the face they framed? Certainly not. The glory of her dusky hair was --- excellent. Then salmon cutlets with potato puffs; a cherry salad and either strawberry or cherry ice for dessert, with pink frosted cakes. A yellow menu consists of a fruit served in orange shells, then corn soup with whipped cream on top, egg cutlets with wax beans and potatoes on the half shell; yellow tomatoes for the salad and the tiny inner leaves of head lettuce with a rich mayonnaise dressing. Serve with cheese wafers. Have Spanish cream for dessert with lady fingers. For a white or bride's luncheon, begin with chilled pineapple and white grapes; a cream of celery soup, whipped cream on top. The heavy course is of chicken breasts creamed, tiny potato balls, sweetbread and cucumber salad. Angel food and lemon ice or a vanilla cream for dessert. Quilting Supper. The president of a Ladies' Ald arranged this interesting meeting at her country home. The society had a large order for comforters, so they combined work with pleasure. Invitations were sent out for a "tufting bee," the frames were sent out and everything was ready for work on the large plaza when the guests arrived. The hours were from "three to seven." At "early candle light" a supper was served. The table centerpiece was a log cabin made of twigs and there were bread sticks, cheese straws, candy sticks arranged in log cabin style at the corners of the table. Lights were not necessary, but there were quaint brass candle sticks on the table in which the hostess lit candles. She had potato salad, hot baking powder biscuit, ginger bread, delicious apple sauce chilled, ice tea and coffee, old-fashioned sponge cake and home-made candy. Amusing Way to Choose Partners. A clever way to ask the men to select partners is to ask each girl to bring the earliest picture of herself obtainable. The pictures are numbered, the hostess having a list of each name opposite the number so when the time comes for making revelations she can do it quickly and with certainty. Just before time for the game or refreshments for which partners are necessary pass a basket or tray with the pictures turned face down; ask each man to draw one and find the original. Just imagine the fun this makes. One man actually asked five women "Is this you?" before he found the original in his wife. MADAME MERRI. And give care to what you have. A great stock of apparel means only anxiety. Notable housewives once took pride in large stores of clothing. But the fashion has passed and with it much waste and disappointment. Nightcap neatly held in place by the daintiest of lacy caps. History is repeating, for the chic Parisienne of today has revived the fashion. The most popular type of this useful as well as becoming headgear is the crocheted cap done in the mesh or peece stitch. The illustration will serve as a guide for those who do not crochet and desire to have one of these fetching trifles. Fancy net might be substituted with a band of beading for the ribbon. The French also have a pretty custom of wearing breakfast caps. These are fashioned of flowered gown to match the breakfast gown or sack. If you are dreaming of a wedding-soon-to-be, add several of these dainty and novel accessories to your trouser. --- A. E. CURTIS M. HARRIS, Funeral Director.
