Washington Tells Why Bill Was Defeated—Views of Prominent Congressmen Who Favor Measure. In a letter to The Age Dr. Booker T. Washington discusses the proposed National Negro Business Exposition and makes the statement that the bill was unfortunately killed during the last session of Congress because the Democrats thought the Republicans wanted to pass the measure to make political capital out of it. Dr. Washington says that the matter will be considered at the National Negro Business League meeting to be held in New York this month. He is optimistic as to the successful passage of the bill at the next session of Congress. Dr. Washington's letter: To the Editor of the New York Age: Various members of our race, and many organizations, have been so very kind in assisting to get the bill through Congress appropriating $5,000 to be used in defraying the expenses of a preliminary commission to investigate and report upon the wisdom of holding a semi-eventennial of the Negroes' freedom in 1913, that I feel that a perfectly frank statement of what has been done and the present prospects for the Exposition ought to be made. I ought to state in the first place that the idea of a preliminary commission was first suggested by President Taft, and this idea, as is well known, was urged upon Congress in his annual message. It seemed to all of us at the time that the course urged by the President was the wisest one to pursue, and if Congress had seen its way clear to have carried out President Taft's wish, matters would have been by this time well under way. Unfortunately, however, there was so much important business before Congress that it seemed impossible to reach the Exposition bill in the regular course of committee reports before the adjournment of Congress. Hon. W. A. Rodenberg, of Illinois, with the consent and co-operation of Hon. E. L. Taylor, Jr., of Ohio, both of whom had charge of the bill, thought it wise to have the bill called up under a --- suspension of the rules in order to expediate the matter. Bill Called Up Under Suspension of Rules. When a bill is called up under suspension of the rules, two-thirds majority is required to pass it. Unfortunately, when the bill was called up, certain Democrats thought the Republicans were simply trying to pass the bill in order to make political capital out of it. Consequently, it was made a party measure, practically all the Republicans voting in favor of it, and practically all the Democrats voting against it. It will be seen that a large majority of the members of the lower House favored the bill. The exact number was 189. I ought to add that Senator W. L. Jones, of Washington, chairman of the Senate Committee on Expositions, did all he could in favor of the bill, along with Congressman Rodenberg and Congressman Taylor. President Taft also manifested the deepest interest and did all he could to bring about the passage of the bill by Congress. All who are interested in the Exposition are greatly obligated to him, to Congressman Rodenberg, to Congressman Taylor, and to Senator Jones, who from the first have shown the deepest interest in trying to get the bill through Congress. There are also other members of Congress who deserve the thanks of our race for their activity and interest in behalf of the bill. In order that the race may see just how matters stand at present, I give portions of letters received on the subject. Congressmen Say Bill Will Be Passed at Next Session. In a recent letter Congressman Rodenberg says: "As you are probably aware, my resolution providing for the appointment of a preliminary commission to investigate the question of the advisability of holding an exposition to commemorate the semi-centennial of the Negro's freedom in America was defeated on Monday, as it failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote. The vote stood 198 to 87. The votes in opposition to the resolution came DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13 1910. entirely from the Democratic side. "I will state, however, that we have no particular reason to feel discouraged. It is my purpose to bring out a bill at the short session providing for holding an exposition of this kind, and securing consideration on Calendar Wednesday, when only a majority will be necessary to pass the bill. I believe it will be an easy matter to get this majority in a Republican Congress." Congressman Taylor writes as follows: "I have your letter of June 22. The bill has not failed. In order that you may understand the situation and not feel that we have lost a good fight, I will say that the resolution providing for the Commission was on the regular calendar and it became evident that under the call of committees, the Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions would not be reached in its regular order. For that reason, Mr. Rodenberg procured the consent of the Speaker to be recognized under a suspension of the rules. In order to put through a resolution or bill under suspension, it requires a two-thirds majority vote, and as usual, the Democratic members, particularly from the South, were there in sufficient number to prevent its passage by a two-thirds majority, but it carried heavily, and will, when brought up in its regular order at the next session, undoubtedly pass the House without the slightest difficulty. This was an honest and sincere effort to get the bill out sooner than it would have been called up on the regular calendar, and therefore, as I stated in the beginning, it is not a defeat, but only a temporary set-back, and leaves the resolution exactly where it was before it was called up. I hope and believe sincerely that it will pass in the short session of the Sixty-first Congress, and am indeed sorry that we could not put it through successfully at this session." Senator Jones, of Washington, who had charge of the bill in the Senate, has written to similar effect. He plans at the coming session to co-operate in the effort to secure favorable action at the hands of Congress. At the coming session of the National Negro Business League the whole matter will be considered, and in all probability new plans will be decided upon. Before any definite decision is made. Professor R. R. Wright, the members of the preliminary committee and others interested in the movement will be consulted. Certainly no harm has come from what has thus far been attempted. The agitation of the subject has resulted in calling the attention of the nation to the importance of this celebration. In some form it is safe to say the event will be only recognized and celebrated in 1913. (Signed.) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 25, 1910. DEPRIVED OF USE OF MAILS Washington, D. C., August 2. The Post Office Department has put under the ban of a fraud order the "Great Nation Ex-Slave Congressional, Legislative Pension Association" (the National exslave Union, Congressional and Legislative Association by the United States) with its officers and agents and G. C. Conley, general manager. It is charged that the association and its agents engaged in a scheme to obtain money through the mails by false and fraudulent pretenses and to mislead and impose ignorant and credulous Negroes. The concern has represented itself as the "ark of the colored race" to advocate the lawful rights of man and his people, and incidentally, to secuse by agitation and faithful prayer congressional providing freedmen with pensions for the labor done by them "during the cruel days of slavery." It is claimed that Conley, who is a Negro, was formerly connected with the National ex Slave Union Mutual Relief Bounty and Pension Associatson of Nashville, Tenn., which is also under the ban of a fraud order, and that he had collected $132, all but 50 cents of which he claims to have expended in stationary, printing, circulars and lawyers' fees for drawing up the articles of incorporation. The plan of the concern, as outlined in the memoranda of the assistant attorney-general for the Post Office Department, on which the fraud order was issued, is to send out state organizers with power to establish local branches of the union and collect $1 as initiation fee and 10 cents as monthly dues from the members. Half the dues collected were to be retained by the state organizer, and the other half to be sent to Conley. It is claimed Conley was sending circulars broadcast to Negroes asking them to join him in the effort to "educate and elevate the colored race; to advocate the lawful rights of the colored and as a citizen of the United States and secure for him and his people a full measure of enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness as outlined and contemplated by the fundamental principles of this government, and to enlighten the members of the association upon the provisions and purposes of the bill now pending in Congress known as the Vaughn exslave pension bill, or the Southern taxpayers' pension bill, and to urge upon Congress the necessity of enacting substantial provisions of said bill into law". RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Booker T. Washington will sail for Europe on the 20th, the day following the close of the Negro Business Men's League convention. He will gather material for magazine articles which he contemplates writing. Yorktown, Va., Aug. 2.—Mr. John B. Mitchell, colored, collector of customs at this place since 1865 is dead. He was appointed to office by President Grant. Passaic, N. J.—James Leach, has made $62,000 by inventing an improvement to the phonograph. The Edison company heard of his efforts and invited him to come to them. There he perfected his invention and, according to the news which has reached his friends, he has received $62,000 for it. He lives in Charleston, S. C., his native town. Newport, R. I., July 27.—The Lincoln Band, a colored organization, has been awarded the contract by the city to give band concerts in the public parks of Newport during the summer season. The band is under the directorship of Arthur Townsend and is making a fine record as a musical body. "When Melinda Sings," a poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, has been set to music and is being featured by the Lincoln Band. Wilmington, Del., Aug. 2.—After a delay of eighty-three years, the longest on record in Delaware, the $800 estate of Timothy Caldwell, who died here in 1827, was divided Friday last. The case was so involved that the estate could not be settled before. Register in Chancery Jolls who was appointed auditor in the litigation last May made trips to New Haven Philadelphia and other places examining witnesses. There are twenty-seven heirs. There were two wills, three deeds and three presumptions of death. New York, Aug. 1.—Jack Johnson, the colored heavy-weight champion, has found one white chauffeur who is willing to race against him in an automobile. In a telegram to the Associated Press from Allentown, Pa., Barney Oldfield declares his willingness to race Johnson. "Automobile racing is my business," Oldfield says, "and if Johnson or any other man in the world has $5000 to bet that NO.48 he can beat me at my game, I am ready to race." Attorney Dawley of Portland, who was called to Roseburg to defend a Pullman porter against a charge of attempted assault, after hearing the little girl's story, stated that he would have no further connection with the case—that being his practice when convinced a client is guilty. The shining example of this colored man might be followed with credit by a great number of white attorneys, since the lawyer who lends his voice and influence to help a criminal escape justice is no better than the thug who aids a prisoner to escape from jail—Oregon Free Press. New Orleans.—An appeal to erect a monument to the former slaves of the South was issued here from the headquarters of the United Confederate Veterans by Gen. George W. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the veterans. The appeal is in the form of a general order, which quotes the resolutions favoring such a monument adopted at the Birmingham reunion in 1908, and adds: "Only those familiar with the beautiful patriarchal life on the Southern plantations previous to 1865 knew of the devotion of the slaves to their owners and the children of the family. They were raised more like members of a large household. Beverly, Mass., August 2. President Taft paid an unusual compliment to two colored men Friday evening in the person of Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, of Boston, and Booker T. Washington, of Alabama. The President's secretary, Mr. Morton, sent the White House automobile to the station to meet Mr. Lewis and Mr. Washington when they arrived at Beverly, and after a two hours' conference with President Taft and Secretary Morton, the White House automobile conveyed them back to the station where they took the train for New York. It is not known what the subjects under discussion were between the President and his secretary and those two colored men, but it is significant that Mr. Washington and Mr. Lewis were with the President and his secretary for two hours.

Lubers called the House to order. Simultaneously Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald, presiding officer of the Senate, pounded the gavel for order in the upper branch and the extraordinary session of the Seventeenth General Assembly was then under way. After the employes of both houses were sworn in the senators marched over to the House chamber, where the message of Governor Shafroth was read, which is in full as follows: To the Senators and Representatives of the Seventeenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado: The majority of the members of this General Assembly were elected by the people upon a platform, which declared in favor of certain measures, to be enacted at the regular session of this Legislature. The other members were elected upon platforms that contained some of the same promises. Both these groups introduced the platform pledges were duly introduced, but all failed of passage. The fact that the General Assembly adjourned without enacting into law a single one of the pledges upon which its members were elected, and which be enacted into laws at a regular session, as fully explained in my address which accompanied the call for this extra session, constitute such an extraordinary occasion as justifies the calling of the General Assembly. Besides a law amending the constitution so as to permit the initiation and referendum of measures, unless passed now, could not be voted upon in the House, nor could the General Assembly the Headless Ballot not become operative, unless passed with an emergency clause at this session, until the fall election of 1912. The Railroad Commission Act of this state a few weeks ago was declared unconstitutional, which a commission is urgently needed. I have always believed that if the members of this General Assembly could convene for the purpose of concluding the treaties they were elected, and if they knew that a majority of the people of the state of Colorado desired those promises enacted into laws, that they would be elected, and that the same knowing that the people in parts of the state have clearly expressed themselves in behalf of some of the platform measures, and that the people in some of the state believe that pledges upon which officials are elected to office are sacred and should be fulfilled. I feel confident that the majority of the state Assembly will vote in favor of the enactment of laws in accordance with the promises made to the people. It must be borne in mind that there is at stake in these most vital principles of self-government. With the exception of the redemption of the pledges, this General Assembly has made the best record of any in the history of the United States, creating of a State Immigration Bureau and of a State Highway Commission are examples of excellent constructive legislation, which must produce enormous benefits to Colorado. The state is making it easier than candidates themselves, and the state itself, from contributing to political campaign expenses will in the future prevent large corruption funds, and make elections purer and more satisfactory to the people. The Public Examiner Act, with power to examine and thoroughly investigate, by witnesses under oath, the accounts and expenditures of all state government and is bound to give salutary effect and largely prevent graft and extravagance. The laws which have for their object the rescuing and redemption of the pledges, and dealing with penitentiary contacts are the very best that have been devised by any legislative body. The law establishing the Home for Mental Defectives creates a most humiliating situation for the care of our unfortunate and meets with the approval of all. Many other wholesome and remedial notes stand to your credit. acts stand to your credit. The appropriations which were made by you have been for those purposes more needed, and so a building in the state capitol, at a cost of $55,000 each; two buildings and a central heating and lighting plant at the University, at a cost of $175,000; a building at the State Norfolk University, at a cost of $100,000; a building and plant at the State School of Mines, at a cost of $75,000; a building at the Home for Mental Defectives, at a cost of $70,000; a building mison, at a cost of $50,000; a building to accommodate the exhibits of the State Historical Association, now in the state capitol, at a cost of $100,000; a building for Children, at a cost of $18,000; buildings at the School for the Deaf and Blind, at a cost of $13,100; a building at the Industrial School for Boys, at a cost of $18,000; a building well and sewer system, at the Industrial School for Girls, at a cost of $9,000; the completion of a building and purchase of land at the Agricultural School, at a cost of $15,000, which could not have been built by contract for less than $40,000; the completion of a building at the Industrial School for girls, which could not have been built by contract for less than $40,000. In addition, large sums of money for improvements and repairs at state institutions have also been provided with larger maintenance funds than ever before in the history of the state. I proud as I am of these achievements of this General Assembly, I feel that it would be a shame if such an excellent record should be marred by the failure to redeem the pledges made people of the state which cannot be enforced in law are more sacred than legal obligations, because they imply a confidence and trust which appeal to the integrity of the State. I am saddened to the moral sense, followed by a feeling of resentment, occurs when electors find that they have been duped and deceived. Do not let such a splendid person as yours be overshadowed by failure to redeem our contracts of honor. Initiative and Referendum: In my judgment one of the most important of these pledges is the Initiative and Referendum Law. No matter what the cause may be, the legislative history of the various states of the Union, that legislatures, upon certain matters, did not represent the will of the people who elected them, after the importance, under such conditions, that electors should have the right to initiate and reject legislation which may be passed. Under our form of government all awa are supposed to represent the will of the majority; then by what line of legislation may the will of that majority, being expressed directly by the people who constitute that majority? It was thought that the majority would be compelled, by reserving to the people the right to refuse to elect legislators who failed to represent them, butasmuch as the measures and as paramount amounts often arise before the next elec- tion and overshadow all other questions, it is almost impossible to concentrate public attention upon the vote of the legislators because the law of the initiative removes the temptation of legislators to vote against the will of the people because it removes the nudge of the legislators to vote against the negatives, or the defeat of popular measures in their votes. Special interests are not going to offer inducements to the government of the ASA because the defeat of bills, when the people can have the measures submitted to them and their decision be final. This law is not going to self-satisfaction and beneficial effect upon every legislature. Under the initiative law the appeal in behalf of measures must be to reason and not to self-satisfaction, as the law does not likely to vote upon measures submitted, the law acts automatically as an educational qualification, and gives the most intelligent expression of the people. The Referendum is a veto of the electors upon any measures passed by the General Assembly which is regarded as fair. As the law is now, no matter how reprehensible the legislation may be, the obnoxious statute remains for the full term of two years, and as it is often the case, it often remains in force for decades. As laws passed by the General Assembly control and govern the people, it is only right and fair that if an act is objective, and not a mere have an overriding way to defeat the same. Those who think that the sentiment for the enactment of these measures is local to the state of Colorado or partisan, are sadly mistaken. The poorest of the South Dakota, Oregon, Nevada and Oklahoma have by large majorities adopted constitutional amendments for the initiative and referendum. A great majority of these measures have made these measures applicable to their respective municipal governments. Many recent platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties in convention of various states are unveiled the evening these principles of government. The movement, providing for the Initiative and Referendum is now well under way in the state of New York in the national House of Representatives against the rulings of that body, which concentrated power in the speaker, was a spontaneous expressive act by the House of Representatives as half of the rule of the people. The movement in Great Britain to abolish the House of Lords has its foundation in the fact that it is not a representative parliametary body. The law of the Initiative and Referendum places the government nearer to the people, and that has always been the basis of all republican forms of government. The Pure Australian Ballot. By reason of the fact that the names of unfit candidates are placed with those of the worthy and qualified nominees on the same party ticket, it is in the law that the voter should provide that the voter indicate each candidate for whom he desires to vote, instead of making it easy for him to vote for the good and faithful candidate. The state is entitled to the judgment of the voter upon the qualifications of each candidate who seeks to conduct the business of the state. Such a law is necessary in political parties; would prevent the nominations for offices of men unfit for or unworthy of public trust; would compel a closer inquiry upon the part of the voter to examine the character and fitness and would therefore be educational in its tendency. The Direct Primary Law. Under the present system of nominating candidates for office, there grows up in every state a number of men who perpetually control conveniences and power by reason of being supported with money, and other influences of the great corporate interests of such states. As delegates are named and held accountable, often subservient to the will of few men, who dictate the candidates and platform declarations of the party. This method is hibernal to good government and pass measures detrimental to the interests of the people. Under the Direct Primary Law, each voter, freed from the influence of any other perpetrator, has the power to choose those candidates whom he believes to be most worthy of political preferment. The Direct Primary Law is not an experiment. No state which has adopted such a system of nominating twenty-six states of the Union now making Direct Primary nominations. Governor Hughes of New York, at a public meeting a few days before the Legislature, which he called to enact a Direct Primary Law, used these words: "this is your contest, not mine, and if action is postponed the issue will remain. You cannot get rid of it, try as you may. It is not my issue. It is your issue. It is against those who have abused party government for their own purposes." The Bank Guaranty Law. The business of banking affects so many of the people, both directly and indirectly, that it has long been considered proper that safe-guards should be posted and for the prevention of disturbances in financial affairs. The depositor has a most vital interest in the bank. The accumulation of years may be wiped out in a single day. The bank in the place of money keeps, and suspension, or failure, not only affects the individual depositors, but checks immediately credits and paralyzes the industry of the entire banking system. The bonds is almost instantly felt. It creates panics and affects the value of all forms of property. Banks are quasi-public institutions created and vested with power to do business by the corporeal means by either bond, or by the creation of a fund, the guaranty of deposits. The most satisfactory law of this character which I have been able to find is the Texas Bank Guaranty Law. It states that in that state should pay into a fund for the guaranty of deposits a certain per cent, upon the deposits held by the banks, as a guaranty for the payment of the debts. That if the bank does not care to make such payments, it may execute a bond, with good and sufficient security, guaranteeing the payment of its own debts. The bank's guaranty fund it establishes in the banks confidence which prevents, or at least modifies, acute conditions during money panics. The reason people become paneled stricken at times is because of want of faith in the ability of the banks to pay the deposits. Often without reason or any justification whatever, people prey on the guaranty of the detriment of the entire community. The trend of the age is towards insurance against calamities. When large numbers of dollars are paid to officers of the military, it is at an enormous cost to the individual insured. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid to officers of the military, and large expenditures are made in other lines, and yet people, knowing this, are willing to take out policies of insurance against the other, by the guaranty law now in force in several of the states, obtain that insurance without it costing them money, and other policies lose their sustained. The salaries of the chief commissioner and his entire force are paid out of the general treasury of the state, which should reloice at the passage of a bill which gives to them such advantages. As banks all know when another I received a communication a few weeks ago relative to the operation of the Oklahoma Bank Guaranty Law. It indicated that the Bank had added of the Bank Guaranty Law in Oklahoma three state banks had failed, and every dollar of deposits had been paid; that in the same time three national banks had deposited their depositors had received not a dollar. It is contended that as such a law guarantees the deposits of both small large banks, the deposits from large banks to the small banks. That has not been the experience in those states where the Bank Guaranty has been very severe in tages in dealing with a bank of large capital, which prevents any such condition. Under the laws of nearly every state, no bank can lend to one person in cash, but can lend to its capital. A merchant who deals with a bank of only $25,000 capital can normally inadequate to his needs, while he could borrow $100,000 from a bank with a capital of 1,000,000. This condition almost compels the large dealer to account in the banks of large capital. The principal argument against the Bank Guaranty Law is that it compels the solvent to pay the losses of the insurance companies. The premiums of the healthy men go to pay the death losses of the sickly men, and no company charges a less premium to the man to make the man who has doubtful risk. But the Texas law takes away even that argument from the banks, for it provides that if any bank does not care to pay into the guaranty fund the care is assessed. If a guaranty manager its deposits. If the directors and stockholders of a bank, who control and manage the monies of its customers, are not willing to guaranty its deposits, how can the bank make nothing out of the bank, to assume that risk? Every financial officer of the United States, of the various states, counties and cities of this country, should not the ordinary depositor have the same protection? The Kansas State Bankers' Association, through its president and secretary, has recently published a strong endorsement of the Bank Guaranty law. The conditions in the state of Colorado are exceedingly prosperous at the present time, but there must in some cases be a shortage of funds. The are now able to pay to a fund a small fraction of that which they obtain from the depositors, and are able by bond to guarantee their deposits, then surely be able to for the enactment of such legislation. Public Service Commission. On account of the growth of the business of so many public utility corporations, a commission, in my judgment, should be created, which will with care and interest investigate, and control the same. The state of New York has adopted such a public service commission law and its operation has proven very successful and beneficial to both the public and the utility industry, but it must be treated fairly, but at the same time they should not be permitted to extort from the public unjust and discriminating rates, nor by arbitrary action refuse to pay the public pay dividends upon such interfered state. You can obtain its capitalization of such corporations and the endeavor to make the public pay dividends upon such interfered state. You can increase its capital stock, to obtain the consent of a Public Service Commission, which will consent to such increase only upon a showing of evidence, and the influence of the public should be protected by a controlling power being vested in a commission. Railroad Commission. A recent decision has been rendered declaring the railroad commission act of this state unconstitutional. The commission should be some power vested in somebody by the legislature to control such corporations. It should be vested in the State Service. If it cannot be accomplished, then there should be created a Railroad Commission to prevent the imposition of unjust discrimination, inadequate jurisdiction, inadequate railway service, the giving or receiving of rebates, and an other injunction. Every state in the Union except Delaware, Wyoming and Colorado has such a Railroad Commission; some of these have an effective and there should be such a commission in this state. As long as railroads are permitted to issue passes to the people, so long as they the following of laws and in the obtaining of special favors and privileges from the various officers of state, county and government, the railroad companies begin with the holding of conventions of each of the political parties. At one of the political conventions held several years ago, the ticket office at the Union depot whether, on account of the state convention held at a certain place, the agent of tickets at reduced rates; the agent looked in his order book and said that no such order had been issued, but he had been provided with transportation, and for that reason, no doubt, no request for special rates had been made. The railroad had been provided with transportation, and for that reason, no doubt, no request for special rates had been made. The railroad indeed for the influence of the railroads to be eliminated from party conventions. Whenever a public service corporation gives transportation to a privileged class, it must make up the loss occasioned by such gifts by increased charges. The railroad thereby imposes a tax upon the masses for the benefit of the classes. That is contrary to the fundamental principles of our government and should be abolished. All of the measures which you are requested to enact are those which are sound in principle and beneficial in administration. These law will have a great purpose of the people, for the people and by the people' a reality which has always been the ideal of true democracy. It is also of careful consideration of each of the measures mentioned. Respectfully, JOHN F. SHAFROTH, Governor.

It came about with the passage of a law {dentical with the pure food and drug act, but covering all insecticides and fungicides. The enforcement of the law, as in the pure food law, 1s vested in a commission consisting of the secretary of the treasury, the sec- retary of commerce and labor and the secretary of agriculture. But the two cabinet officers first named are sort of commissioners emeritus. The real work conies down to the secretary of agriculture. ‘The bug commission has appointed the legal officers of the three depart- ments, R.

With @ new boss on the job it is expected Major Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, will make things hum ‘until his own ideas are put into oper: ation. Although he was appointed to succeed Major Gen. Franklin J. Bell last October, since that time he has been on a trip to Argentine to rep- resent the United States at the cen- tennial celebration, and has only late- ly returned to Washington. In the meantime many important questions have been piling up await- ing his decision. Just what effect the personality of the new chief of staff will have on the army is a matter of much moment to the officers who now something of his strenuous ca- preventing” any insect. The law of ficers, after due consultation, admit- ted that while they understood how an insect might be repelled or destroyed, they did not see how they could pre- vent an insect or mitigate him. ‘Tho law {s specific in declaring against misbranding insecticides. If a well-meaning citizen of the United States puts up a compound that he says will rid a house of, say, bugs, within a specified length of time, there seems no way to determine whether the compound 1s misbrand- ed, unless the secretary of agriculture goes to the premises and hol‘s a stop-watch on the roaches, to see ‘whether they mitigate or vacate with- in the time limit. ‘The biological survey has issued an informal statement already, saying that the law is remiss in that it does not include rats among the insects to be prevented. An effort {s being made to see whether the law officers are willing to consider rats as insects. Dr. Henshaw of tho biological sur vey and Prof. Crittenden of the bu- reau of entomology are going to call to their ald the legal advice of Judge Pugh of the police court. Judge Pugh, while assistant district attorney some years ago, established a reputation in the police court by arguing that, le- gally, a lop-eared rabbit was a chicken within the meaning of the act.

Briefly, the more recent discussions as to the earth’s age have placed the time as follows: Lord Kelvin, in 1863, estimated the earth’s age at 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 ‘and perhaps 98,000,000 years. Clarence King and Carl Barus, in 1833, placed the age at 24,000,000 years. Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig- ures from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 years. De Lapparent, in 1890, sald it was 67,000,000 to 90,000,000 years. "Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian institution, in 1898, placed the maximum age at 70,000,000 years. J. Joly, in 1899, estimated the age of the ocean at 80,000,000 to 90,000,000 years. 'W. J. Sollas, in 1909, placed the age of the ocean at 80,000,000 to 150, G00000 vears. By far the largest part of the crop fs consumed from the peanut stand, the little whistle sign of the roaster being the signal for the average youngster to suggest to dad or tia that some of them would be very ac- ceptable, and the paternal or mater- nal parent's willingness—nine times out of ten—to invest. Yet there are millions of bushels that go to the fattening of hogs throughout the south, the feeding of poultry, while the vines, often cured as hay, feed thousands of head of cattle, and even old Mother Earth is nourished by the roots of the plant, which furnishes nitrogen to {t from the air. ‘The farming of peanuts during the past five years—not longer than this— has become an established industry of this country. At present about five- sixths of the crop comes from Vir- ginfa and most of the balance from Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia and the Carolinas, although most of the southern states contribute some. ‘As the peanut industry has increased so has the use of all nuts grown mightily as an article of food during the last decade, and the entire fam- fly now forms a most Important part of the diet of the physical culturist TE talon Freer. It is expected ne Wit wie take most actively a number of re- forms which might not meet with the approval of the army at large. One of the questions which will be taken up by General Wood is the physical test of officers, Since Presi- dent Roosevelt inaugurated this sys- tem, many officers have been hoping that {t would be modified. General Wood is one of the foremost of phys- ical culture enthusiasts. Instead of being made milder, It is not unlikely that the tests will be made harder than ever. The detatl of troops to the Phillippines {s an- other matter that will be disposed of by General Wood very soon. He has also a number of ideas regarding co- operation between the regular army and the militia which he will prob- ably attempt to put into practise. General Carter, who has been uct- ing chief of staff, will take his place as assistant chief. General Bliss, whom he succeeds, will go to San Francisco to relleve General Barry, who takes command of West Point. ee Se a ee ee Oe ee Re ae Ue AC oe ee .

This would represent a sum sufficient to found and equip a small-sized training school in some needy section of the South, where young Negroes could be trained, not for pugilists but for the higher duties of life. If the report prove true, sensible Negroes ought to start jawing about that belt, and keep it up, even though their jawing get them a belt in the jaw, until the project is dropped. There is a legitimate limit to pugilistic hysteria and the belt promoters would be very close to it at the start. BOOSTING LIBERIA spatch on the map of Africa.

The proposed issuance of a loan of one and a half million dollars, for the refunding of the Liberian debt and the placing of the republic on a new and sound financial basis, is the ground for foreign comment on what is called the advent of the United States in old world affairs. In reality it is not a new departure on the part of the United States, but the practical resumption of an obligation assumed years ago, long neglected but never rescinded. The new acknowledgment in the hour of the black republics great need is a vindication of the moral integrity of leading Americans rather than the expression of any new diplomatic policy on the part of the United States. The action, however, serves to enlist the interest of the department of state and to carry the assurance that this country will not permit further enroachments upon Liberian territory by European powers, for the financial investments of Americans in any foreign locality find a certain amount of reliance upon the physical powers of the home government, under any political conditions that might impair their security or worth. The supposition naturally follows that the development of Liberian resources will be hereafter encouraged by Americans under all reasonable conditions consistent with the laws and established policies of the government of Liberia. These laws and policies are favorable to Negroes alone, but not to spasmodic or indigent would-be emigrants. There is room and need in Liberia for Negroes with some capital to invest or some valuable commercial or professional knowledge to impart which will lend undoubted strength to the country's need for advancement, but no indolent Negro need look that way for a haven of rest and ease. The United States is a far better place for individuals of that sort and many others beside. AN APOLOGY. eogy to the sheriff of He In commenting on the "be raging in that county, the matter would be and more than two hunse "putting down" Negro ing" all on account of We owe an apology to the sheriff of Henderson county, Texas, residing at Palestine. In commenting on the "race war" reported by the associated press to be raging in that county last week, we predicted that the truth regarding the matter would be suppressed, although the sheriff and a posse and more than two hundred other white men, all heavily armed, were "putting down" Negro residents who were reported to be "organizing," all on account of an unpaid promissory note. So far as the sheriff was concerned our criticism was premature, for he made a straightforward statement the following day saying that his investigation showed that eighteen or twenty Negroes had been wantonly murdered by a lawless mob of white rowdies, without the slightest reasonable excuse, and that the Negroes were all unarmed, peaceful and unoffending. We hasten to acknowledge our flagrant error and to declare our unbounded respect for that sheriff. His declaration of the truth in the case is a welcome surprise, which, in itself, affords some measure of relief for the wanton sacrifice of Negro lives by a murderous type of his constituents. But his is a most exceptional case, for such acknowledgements are extremely rare and unusual. We remember of no other such truthful investigation of a so-called race war ever having been reported in the South. Undoubtedly nine out of every ten similar episodes in the South are built upon similar facts, but the lying reports of them given to the associated press and sent broadcast over the world are never denied or corrected. This new evidence of a just recognition of the value of truth, even in the case of a slaughter of Negroes, is encouraging. This sheriff has done a brave and laudable thing, if he does no more than to tell the truth. He has overturned Southern tradition and defied Southern sentiment, impelled only by his moral conscience. Of course this does not atone for the wanton slaughter of eighteen Negroes, but it gives promise that the day will come when such investigations will be followed by the arrest, conviction and punishment of the murderers. The sheriff of Henderson county has adopted a course that honors Texas and proves him worthy of a higher office. Honest people everywhere, especially Negroes, should commend him. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. On the 13 of August, the Republican primaries was held, for the purpose of selecting delegates to form a constitution to our New State of New Mexico. D. L. Thompson, one of our hustling young colored men is getting the endorsement of some of the prominent buniness men, in his effort to receive the appointment as Postmaster at Putnam, N. M., near an Iudian reservation. We trust that he will be successful. The movement to erect a monument in honor of John Brown has struck the colored organizations of our city with quite an agreeable force. Nearly every colored institution has contributed liberally to this worthy cause. Emancipation day was celebrated by the colored people in this city, August 4, under the auspices of the Mt. Olive Baptist church. One of the principle features of the day was barbecued meats served with a fine dinner at 215 W. Central Ave. In the evening Geo. W. Klock, the able District Attorney addressed the large crowd, it was one of the best orations that we have heard for some time. Rev. L. R. Wilkins, John Collins and H. Bramlett, the managers of the successful celebration are to be commended for their undertaking. For many years ye correspondent has sent out from this point much printed matter urging Negroes to come into our midst while land was cheap. Opportunities were good for our young men and women, while under a territorial form of government, then our country was only scattered with a few white people who only lived mostly in the large cities. The majority of the inhabitants were friendly Mexican people, that welcomed the colored people in their communities and treated them kindly, then much good government land could be settled upon at two dollars per acre, and now very little of this land is left, and the question that confronts the Negro, have we waited too late? New Mexico will soon be a state and the rush of white people into the New State will make it difficult for the Negroes who follow them. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. Twenty-second Avenue and Humboldt Street. Rev. Thomas G. Brown, Pastor. Sunday, August 14th— Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. Morning Prayer and Sermon, 11:00 a. m. Vespers, 5.00 p. m. On last Sunday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon our special vesper service was held, and a fairly large congregation listened to the program that was rendered by the choir and Sunday School scholars. Very commendable expressions were offered by the members and friends of the church over the efforts put forward to make this service successful, as well as the interest that is being evinced in the work, and we trust this will give an impetus to others to come in and help. At the close of the program the minister thanked the visitors and ministers of the other churches who were present and gave them a cordial invitation to visit us again. The following is the program: Program. Processional Hymn—453. Sentences, Confessions, etc. Psalter—Second Selection, Scripture Lesson. Magnificat. Creed, Collects, Notices.

Governor Shafroth read his message demanding the redemption of platform pledges to a joint session of the House and Senate. The Democratic senators held a separate caucus. The platform Democrats entered the caucus and felt encouraged by the first conference. A committee was appointed by the caucus to prepare a pledge to be signed by each member of the caucus. It will bind each senator to abide by a majority vote on all platform measures. The Senate adopted a resolution introduced by Tully Scott expressing profound sorrow at the news of the shooting of Mayor Gaynor. The Senate and House voted to retain the committees as they existed at the regular session. It is the plan of the senatorial course to pas upon all the House bills. The Senate conferees, therefore, will be guided in their negotiations with the House conferees by the decisions of the senatorial caucus. The House. At 12 o'clock Tuesday Speaker Lubers rapped for order and Chaplain Jacob Rader invoked divine guidance in the deliberations of the body. The House did not caucus or confer, waiting for the Senate to settle the question of whether it would caucus. While the solons of the upper body toiled during the afternoon the representatives deserted the Capitol building in a body and went to the ball game. The momentary excitement over the speakership question came after the joint session at which Governor John F. Shafroth read his message. Representative Hicks offered a motion making the rules of the Seventeenth General Assembly those of the extra session. Representative S. S. Bellesfield of Pueblo immediately moved, as an amendment, that Section 5, Rule 2, be changed so as to allow the speaker to appoint all committees except the conference committees. "I make this motion, not to insult the speaker by challenging his fairness," said Bellesfield, "but it is the rule in all legislative bodies, including the national Congress, that where the majority body of the House desires a certain bill and a conference committee is appointed to confer with the Senate, then the House majority shall have the right of having all the members of the conference committee. They must appear before the Senate committee and argue the merits of the bill which the House has passed. I believe that only friends of the primary bill and other measures, as passed by the House, should confer with the Senate committees." Friends of Speaker Lubers did not agree with this view. Although Representative Hicks accepted the amendment, Representatives Celestina Garcia, T. M. Howell, M. H. McCaskill, Harvey E. Garman, J. M. Wardlaw and others objected. They tried to get a two-thirds vote on the amendment, as a change to the rules, but Speaker Lubers ruled that a majority was sufficient to adopt. The Senate. The Senate organized without loss of time. On motion of Senator Carringer, the employees selected by the patronage committee were declared to be the employees of the Senate for the extra session. The employees are as follows: Chaplain, the Rev. Robert E. Dickensan; secretary of the Senate, Dwight F. Ryland; assistant secretary, C. A. Woodward; reading clerk, Lemuel J. Smith; chief printing clerk, Daniel Shehan; messenger, William O'Connell; bill clerk, Walter Alexander; sergeant-at-arms, C. P. Hoyt; assistant sergeant-at-arms, Clint Tillery and R. M.

News of the death of Joe Gans brought sorrow to many Denver fight fans, although the end was not unexpected. Gans fought some of the best fights in Denver and Colorado and was a general favorite for the reason that he always fought well and never tried to force himself into the limelight when out of the ring. Gans' last appearance in Denver was almost ten years ago, but local fight fans have always watched his work very carefully and many of them have won heavily on the battles which the negro fought after he left this part of the country.

The revival spirit was much in evidence all day last Sabbath. We are praying for a grand awakening in our church life. The need of such an awakening is very evident. May we not have the support of the entire membership and friends in our sister churches? The choir rendered very beautiful music all day Sunday. What a difference it makes when all pull together. Co-operation and concentration is here much needed. We ought to have it, and we must have it.

Cash, "8 Tuxedo Place, Downing and Colfax Avenues, Denver, Colorado. "Dear Sir: "Referring to the recent excursion of the True Reformers, I wish to compliment you on the excellent manner in which the excursion was arranged and carried on. As far as my experience goes, there has never been a more orderly and satisfactory excursion taken out of Denver on any railroad, and I wish to express to yourself and your associates my unqualified appreciation of the business-like manner in which the affair was conducted. "In making arrangements for the excursion with you the company allowed a very liberal rebate on each ticket—more, in fact, than the circumstances seemed to warrant. I was very much surprised on learning from some of the other members of your committee that there had been no arrangements made to provide you with a compensation for the hard work you did in conducting the excursion. Had I known this beforehand I should certainly have suggested it to the committee. As it is now unfortunately too late for the road to do anything, owing to the large commission we paid your organization for getting us the business, I feel sure that your committee will see that some suitable remuneration is made, however. "Thanking you again, and assuring you that you have established a high standard of excellence in conducting excursions and trusting" that you will convey regards to the other members of your committee.

My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin ‘or blood disease I would honestly ad vise them to fool with nothing else, Dut get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least Dit of trouble up to now. “My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema She could get nothing that would de them any good until she tried Cutt cura, She used Cuticura Resolvent nd Cuticura Ointment and in two ‘weeks they were entirely cured I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved suc- cessful.

New Neues of Yeateriay by €, 3. 1 Why Seward Bought AMeaisaare eee Pass that Roosevelt Returned He Believed in Future Commerce of the Pacific and Saw a Chance to Head Off Great Britain. When Seattle’s Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition was at its height last sum- mer | was fortunate enough to meet the venerable Frederick W. Seward, assistant and acting secretary of state under three presidents—Lincoln, John- son and Hayes. Quite naturally, the conversation turned on Alaska. “| presume,” said Mr. Seward, “that there will always prevail the belief that my father, when he was Johnson's secretary of state, brought about the purchase of Alaska from Russia pri- marily for the purpose of paying a na- tional debt of gratitude to Russia for the moral assistance that she gave the Union during the Civil war. There ts not, however, the slightest foundation of fact for this bellef. I know person- ally what I am talking about, for while the negotiations for the purchase of Alaska were on I was both father’s as- sistant and confidant. . “It was in 1866 that Cyrus W. Field finally and definitely demonstrated to the world the feasibility of binding the continents together with submarine telegraph cables. Until this epoch- marking demonstration was made to the satisfaction of the entire world, Russia had given no indication of any desire to part with her North Ameri- can possessons. In fact, until the sub- marine cable was pronounced a suc- cess, Russia had long dreamed of utilizing Alaska as the key to her con- trol of an intercontinental telegraphic land system. The telegraph could eas- fly have been carried across Bering strait, which is only 36 miles wide at {ts narrowest point; and to this day you may see In Alaska the relics of a part of the intercontinenal plant that Russia began to bulld there as early as the late fifties. When, however, the news came of Field’s success, Russia was led to believe that Alaska would be of no further material value to her, and about that time she and Great Britain tentatively entered into a dip- lomatic discussion regardng the poss- Ible cession of the territory to the latter nation. Refused to Accept the Favor Because He Thought It Would Be a Clear Violation of the Spirit of the Law. “Only a few of the more fntimate personal friends of Colonel Roosevelt know that his service in the Spanish war cost him considerably more than his salary as Heutenant colonel of the rough riders,” said a high officer of the New York Central railroad to me a few days after Mr. Roosevelt had been nominated for vice-president in 1900. “I have reason for believing that In his campaign for governor of New York he would have been sert- ously embarrassed financially but for the timely contributions made to his personal funds by a few of bis per- sonal friends; and I also know that when he became governor {t was with the knowledge that his official salary of $10,000 a year and his private in- come would be no more than sufi cient to meet his yearly expenses, If his household was managed with con- siderable economy. Ana yet, when an opportunity was presented to him to effect a considerable economy In his personal expenses he did not hesitate a moment to turn it down. “At the time whan he became gov- ernor a law forbade any officer of New York state accepting a pass upon a railroad. Previously, my road had extended the courtesy of a pass to oc- cupants of the executivemansion, but, clearly, no such courtesy was to be the portion of Governor Roosevelt. It was, however, suggested that the pres- {dent of the company send an annual pass to Mrs. Roosevelt, for her use and that of her children, for we knew that {t would be necessary for her and her family to make frequent trips be- tween Albany and New York city. ‘This was done, the pass being sent to Governor Roosevelt, with an expres- sion of our regret that the law forbade our including him in the courtesy. “By return mail the pass came back, and with It a letter, and, while I have not that letter at hand, I can quote {t substantially. “1 fully appreciate your courtesy in sending the pass,’ wrote the governor, ‘and I am sure that {t was sent in all sincerity and without any ulterior mo- tive—without any thought of placing me under a sense of obligation to anybody concerned. It is a courtesy which, {f accepted, would undoubtedly effect a considerable economy in my personal expenditures, which, as gov- ernor, are very heavy, as you well know. Yet I am compelled to return the pass, and to say to you that, while, of course, the use of it would not be in violation of the letter of the law, it would, in my view, be 2 clear viola- tion of the spirit of the law. I be- Meye that all laws should be ob- served, not merely according to their | Huntington’sDream of Rubber “My father, some way or other, learned of this intercourse between the two nations, and was at once dveply interested. For many years he had held tenactously to the opinion that the United States had made a grave mistake in not insisting on running its northernmost boundary to fifty-four forty, He had been a firm advocate of our control of the Pacific coast line from the end of Lower California to the top of the continent, belfeving, as he did, that the Pacific would ultimate- ly be the seat of the world’s greatest commerce. So, when he learned that Alaska was to all intents and purposes on the market, he saw an excellent chance of adding to our Paelfic coast line, and, at the same time, of keeping Great Britain's Pacific outlet down to the smallest possible mintmum. “Reasoning that Russia from her past attitude towards us, and with no consuming desire to have Johnny Bull only thirty-six miles distant from St- beria, would favor us over Great Bri- tain as a possible customer for Alaska, Great Financier Some Years Ago Con- sidered That Product Ranked in Commercial Importance With Wool and Cotton. Although the late C. P. Huntington, the real creator of the Southern Pa- cific railroad and the maker of one of the greatest American fortunes, could not rival James J. Hill or An- drew Carnegie as a public speaker, or at least never tried to do that, never- theless he was one of the most enter- taining and instructive of men when engaged in private conversation. He had a fund of anecdotes, he was in- tensely interested in all the greater undertakings of American capital, and he had made a study of the personal- ities of the many of the great leaders of his time in railway and industrial development. It was my good fortune to meet Mr. Huntington some years before his ‘death, when he was in a very chatty letter, but also with equal strictness according to their spirit.” “There was only one thing for us to do after that,” concluded my author- ity; “we cancelled the pass. And all the time that Mr. Roosevelt was gov- ernor he and Mrs. Roosevelt and their children rode on purchased railroad Uckets sometimes economizing by riding in a day coach between Albany and New York city, instead of using a parlor car.” (Copyright, 1910, by B. J. Edwards.) A Dramatic Suicide. Despite strenuous efforts to earn an honest living, an old woman of Lis- bon, Portugal, and her three daugh- ters were unable to pay their rent and so decided to commit suicide, They chose a spot near Estoril, where a great perpendicular rock stands high above the ocean, forming a terrible abyss called “Hell's Mouth.” The four women kissed one another goodbye and placed themselves in Indian file on the edge of the precipice. Making the sign of the cross, the mother plunged first. Then the two elder daughters followed. ‘The youngest, however, seeing her mother and sis- ters wildly struggling in the waves and hearing thelr screams of agony, hesitated. As she lifted her hands in a prayer for courage she was seen by fishermen. They rushed to the spot and were in time to sieze her by the skirts and thus to save her. It s feared that she has become Insane, The three girls were all good locking the youngest being remarkably beaut!- ful. Many. Roomed Chinese: Houmas “In China a house of human habita- tion is a very different affair from what It fs In the United States,” said Ellis O. Habberton of San Francisco. “We think of a house over here or- dinarily as the abode of a family of at least a limited number of individ- uals, but not so in the Orient, For Instance, my wife and I stayed once for some weeks in a native temple, but our occupancy was merely an inel- dent and did not interfere in the least with the regular business of the priests. “Their structure was a huge, ram- bling affair, and they were glad to rent us some of the unused space. ‘The Chinese houses, low, and spread out over a vast expanse, have a mul titude of rooms all ranged about a rectangular courtyard giving shelter to many things. A rich Chinaman with a blg assortment of wives can dispose them conveniently under the same roof and yet not have them in such proximity as to provoke friction or strife.” ‘The Fatal Cure. ‘The men die of thelr remedies and ‘not of their diseases.—Mollere. he opened negotiations with the czar’s representatives for the sale of the ter- ritory to us. At once Russia showed her preference for our ownership of Alaska, and so anxious was father to defeat Great Britain's aims on the ter- ritory that there was very little discus. sion about the price we were to pay for {t. In fact, as I recall it now, we accepted without question Russia's terms of seven million, two hundred thousand dollars. “Here, then, was my father’s sole reason for purchasing Alaska, At the time of the purchase he knew that the Alaskan fisheries would be valuable, but he had no idea of the real value that the territory would ultimately be to us, But after his trip to Alaska in 1869, two years after he had pur chased {t for the nation, he was per- suaded that, almost unknown to us, we had secured control for a mere pit: tance of the world’s greatest treasure houses, a territory of inconceivable wealth—and all because its purchase helped him to realize in good part his old ambition of seeing the United States in control of all the continent's western coast line north of the tip of Lower California.” (Copyright, 1910, by BE. J. Edwards.) and communicative mood. As he talked ‘he stood leaning over the marble counter of a financial institu tion. with whose officers he was on friendly terms. Finally, somebody mentioned the word “rubber,” and at once Mr. Huntington's manner took on the ear-marks of the enthusiast. “T have heard it stated that this ts the iron age, the railroad age, the electrical age,” he said, “but I have sometimes thought that it might properly be called the rubber era. I regard rubber as standing in equal rank, almost, with wool and cotton as factor in modern industrial devel- opment. Of course, it does not rank with grain, for grain is converted into food, and food is of first necessity. But as our industrial development goes on, there are bound to be larger and larger uses for rubber, and I am sure that there will come a time when for years the world’s supply will not be equal to the demand. “Nevertheless, I am satisfied that rightly handled there is a practically snexhaustible supply of rubber-pro- dueing trees throughout the entire equatorial belts of South America and Africa, I am satisfied that the pres- ent methods of rubber production are wasteful; I am told that there is an unnecessary destruction of trees, But I am also satisfled that, if a set of earnest and capable young men would organize an adequate corporation, penetrate the equatorial regions with a satisfactory and reasonably swift system of communteation, and go about systematically and sclentifical- ly cultivating rubber trees, that there ts no other industry which would be- gin to yield the profits these rubber men would obtain. “To my mind, the scientific care of rubber trees and production of rubber offers extraordinary opportunities. It should appeal to the ablest and the most ambitious of the young men who desire to make great careers and great fortunes. Were I a young man 1 would be tempted to go Into the rubber industry myself. But—ob, well, I don't suppose that I shall live to see the day, for I am getting along in years now; but I am willing to predict that many men now of middle life will realize before they become old that perhaps the greatest industrial staple in the world, excepting cotton, and, of course, the food grains, 1s rubber.” ‘This conversation with Mr. Hunting- ton took place in the middle nineties. For the last month or so all England has been greatly excited over the speculation in the rubber stocks, due, it 1s sald, to the world’s demands for rubber practically being greater than the visible supply.

Pigmies of New Guinea, The news that a fresh race of pig- mies has been discovered in New Guinea, by a British expedition pre- sently exploring the interior, is inter- esting to ethnologists, since no one expected anything of the kind in that great island. Nobody has yet been able to determine whether the pig- mies of the Aruhimi Forest, discovered by Stanley, and before him, by Hero- dotus, are degenerates from the normal type of mankind of whether they are merely a primitive type that has per- sisted in its original form. The huge island which {s the pigmies’ home, contains, perhaps, more unexplored ‘territory in proportion to its size than ‘any other portion of the interfor, in- cluding, as has already been hinted, survivors of antediluvian creatures. By one of its lakes a tribe of web- footed men has already been discov- ered.

A COOL PROPOSITION And a Sure One. The Body Does Not Feel Heat Unpleasantly if it has Proper Food— Grape=Nuts People can live in a temperature which feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the diet. The plan is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use a goodly allowance of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then follow with a saucer containing about four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of crisp toast with a meager amount of butter, and one cup of well-made Postum. By this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result is a very marked difference in the temperature of the body, and to this comfortable condition is added the certainty of ease and perfect digestion, for the food being partially predigested is quickly assimilated by the digestive machinery. Experience and experiment in food, and its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the user.

First Structure Will Be for Engraving and Printing, Costing $1,500,000 Another Postoffice and a Park Among Projects. As a result of the liberality displayed by congress at the recent session, the government is preparing to enter on several important building projects at the capital. The commission of fine arts eld its first meeting recently and approved the plans for the proposed sion, the government is preparing to enter on several important building projects at the capital. The commission of fine arts eld its first meeting recently and approved the plans for the proposed new building for the bureau of engraving and printing. Congress appropriated $1,500,000 for the erection of the structure. This new building will be the longest in Washington and perhaps in the country. The capitol is 754 feet long, the new main hall of the naval academy at Annapolis is a trifle longer, while the new bureau of engraving and printing will extend about 850 feet along the street. The structure will be erected south of and adjoining the present building on Fourteenth street, just south of the hall and will be one of the dominant features fitting in with the general scheme of the development of the territory about the Washington monument designed by the Burnham park commission. The structure in the general architectural aspect will reflect the familiar design of the treasury building. Its distinguishing feature in point of arrangement will be six wings extending to the rear, each sixty feet wide with courts one hundred feet wide between. These wings will be built of glass and steel, thus affording the maximum of light to the engravers and printers, who do the delicate work of making Uncle Sam's money. Only three of the wings will be constructed at first. They will extend up to the walls of the old building. The structure at present occupied by the bureau will then be torn down and the remaining front and wings erected in its place. The arrangement will enable the transfer to be made without interrupting the regular work of the bureau. Three other great building projects in this neighborhood also are being planned. These are the new buildings for the state department, the department of justice and the department of commerce and labor. The last named department will occupy by far the largest home, and as these three structures will be in a row on Fifteenth street, facing westward and running down toward the bureau of engraving and printing, the commerce and labor bureau probably will be set between the two others. Congress has appropriated $8,000,000 for this work, of which $200,000 is immediately available for plans. The government already has bought the land, which is the square opposite the New Willard hotel, bounded by Pennsylvania avenue on the north and Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets on the east and west. The records of the treasury department show that in the early days the government, which was the original owner of this tract, sold it for $6,000. It has just paid $2,500,000 to get the same land back. It is the idea of the commission of fine arts that the territory fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, now occupied Chase's theater, the Regent hotel and adjacent buildings shall be parked. This treatment, it is pointed out, will give an uninterrupted view of the beautiful new district building from the treasury building, and also will present a vista from Pennsylvania avenue down past the Sherman statue and the Washington monument to the Potomac river. Another appropriation by congress at the recent session provides for the erection of a $2,500,000 building for the use of the geological survey, the Indian office, the general land office and the new bureau of mines. There was also an appropriation for a $6,000,000 postoffice for the District of Columbia. This building is to be erected on land adjoining the new union station and already owned by the government. For many years the city office has occupied the first floor of the postoffice department building on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue and Eleventh street. The growth of the department has made it necessary for the city, or district, to have quarters of its own. In having this new building erected alongside the union station, the postmaster-general is carrying out a plan postal experts have long had in mind, that of having a postoffice so situated with respect to a railroad station that the mail cars may be shunted into the basement of the postoffice. If the Washington plan proves the success the postal officials expect it to be, the department will no doubt take a firm stand in favor of putting all new postoffice buildings in large cities near railway stations. Congress did one other thing at the late session along the line of developing the scheme for the beautification of the national capital. It authorized the purchase of the twelve blocks lying between the union station and the capitol grounds. The act appropriates $500,000 annually for eight years. It is the expectation that this $4,000,000 will enable the government not only to come into possession of these twelve blocks of real estate, but will enable it to raze all the buildings on the ground purchased and to convert the tract into a beautiful park. KEIFER DROPS SWALLOWTAIL Veteran Congressman Causes Surprise When He Enters House Wearing a Business Suit. Shortly before congress adjourned the house received a shock when Gen. J. Warren Keifer, veteran of two wars, thirty-seven battles and nine congressional campaigns, covering a period of more than half a century of public life, marched in attired in a suit of drab oxford gray. It was a sack suit. The only remaining vestige of the general's former attire was the dress vest, of black broadcloth. Gen. Keifer has worn evening dress in the daytime for many years. "I am going out to Ohio in a few days," said he. "The tailor persuaded me that this would prove more comfortable traveling attire than my swallowtail. I will not promise that the change shall be permanent." Speaker Cannon noted the change with deepest emotion and trusted that Gen. Keifer's insurgency would extend no further. Gen. Keifer was speaker in the early days of Mr. Cannon's service in the house. The general was quiet for nearly 40 minutes after the invocation, but before the day was ended he had participated in not less than six acrimonious colloquys, and had made three five-minute speeches, so his friends felt assured that the change had made no appreciable difference in the mental activity of the war horse of Republicanism. Most perturbed were the professional guides. However they have had four things to point out to visitors to the house gallery. The pattern of the guides used to run as follows: "The nervous elderly gentleman sitting at the marble desk with the little mallet in his hand is Speaker Cannon. The handsome man with the white lawn the like a Methodist preacher is the democratic leader, Champ Clark of Missouri. The young man with the head that shines like a heliograph at noonday is Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, and the gentleman in the dress suit with the white whiskers is Gen. J. Warren Keifer, who was speaker of the Forty-seventh congress from 1881 to 1883." Champ Clark has discarded the white lawn ties. That jarred the guides. They held a mass meeting in the rotunda at night and adopted resolutions requesting Gen. Keifer to return to his well-known habillaments. They told him that if the speaker were deposed next session and Longworth adopted a wig they would have to go out of business. INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION Extensive Plan of Supervision of Railroads in Canada and United States. It is probable that an international railway commission, with supervision over the railroads of this country and Canada, will be the result of action taken by the government in the appointment of Chairman Martin A. Knapp of the interstate commerce commission, as a representative of the United States, to confer with J. L. Mabe, chief of the railway commission of Canada. His appointment and that of Mr. Mabe is the result of considerable correspondence and diplomatic interchange between the United States and Canada. More than a year ago the subject was broached first in a letter from Mr. Mabee to Judge Knapp. It was pointed out that the increasing traffic between the United States and Canada would render full control over rates in the future more difficult unless some joint action were taken. It was realized that the acquisition of Canadian terminals by American roads and of American roads and terminals by Canadian roads presented ever-increasing difficulties. In the present conditions it is not possible to compel railway or express companies to establish joint through rates to and from points in the two countries. The reasonableness of rates between points in this country and points in Canada also is a question of serious importance to shippers. In order to determine any given question as to rates that may arise it is necessary for the shipper to institute a proceeding before the interstate commerce commission and the Canadian railway commission, and the result is not satisfactory. The difficulty practically precludes any inquiry by existing tribunals as to the reasonableness of combination through rates as applied to international traffic. U. S. Furnishes City Water. The town of Carlsbad, N. M., will receive its water supply from the irrigation system of the Carlsbad project. A contract for five years, which has been approved by the secretary of the interior, provides that the town is to pay the government at the rate of $1.25 per acre foot, which is the price at which water was rented to agricultural lands within the project. This represents a net annual income of eight per cent. on the construction charge investment. Caterpillars Around the White House A scourge of caterpillars in the trees along the streets of Washington has extended to the White House grounds, where a vigorous campaign against them is being waged. The little yellow crawlers have appeared in greater numbers on the White House trees than for many years past, and the spraying of the trees with ammonia, arnica and lime is now under way. STARTING FOR CALIFORNIA WITH EXPECTATIONS OF BECOMING POLICEMEN. HAVE CALIFORNIA KIN 1,500 ARE SAID TO HAVE SAILED FOR OUR SHORES LAST MONTH. Calcutta.—A remarkable emigration of Punjabs, Mohammedans and Silkhs, who are leaving for Hong Kong with the avowed intention of proceeding to California is engaging the official attention of William H. Michael, the American consul general here. Some of those who are turning their faces toward the New World are taking their families with them, but the greater number belong to the fighting castes and are under the impression that they can get on the American police force! They are confident that they can at least get posts as watchmen. The emigrants explain that they have relatives in California who have written them saying that they have found a good land and urging those addressed to join them. Fifteen hundred natives sailed for the East on five ships last month and many more are preparing to follow. Mr. Michael said Wednesday that none of the emigrants had visited the American consulate and that probably they would not be permitted to land in the United States. He expects Washington to make representations on the subject. Steal 300-pound Safe. Cheyenne — An army paymaster's safe, weighing 300 pounds and said to contain $6,500, was stolen from division headquarters at the Crow Creek maneuver camp, near Pole mountain, 35 miles west of Cheyenne, Wednesday night. The safe was closely guarded by a non-commissioned officer and several privates, who are unable to account for the disappearance of the treasure box. Mine Workers' Convention Opens.

Paris—As a means of relieving the congestion of traffic, a problem of constantly increasing difficulty, the government has decided to electrify the belt railroad of this city and the railway service out of St. Lazarre station. The estimated expenditure involved is $40,000,000. Texas Sheriffs Elect Officers. El Paso, Texas—The Association of Texas Sheriffs concluded its twenty-eighth annual session here Wednesday. A young woman of Toledo, O., was asked by a friend as to the likability of a young chap who for some time had been paying devoted attention to the young woman in question. "Oh," replied the fair one carelessly, "William is a nice enough fellow, but he talks shop too much." "How's that?" was the next question. "I thought he was a street car conductor." "So he is," returned the other; "and he's continually saying, 'Sit up closer!'"—Judge. A Hint to Young Lawyers. Some time before Judge S. S. Ford was elected to the common pleas bench he was employed as attorney for the defense in a case in criminal court. The jury was out three hours, but finally brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Next day Judge Ford met one of the jurors in the case. "Well, we set your man free," the juror said. "He was as innocent as a new born baby." "Certainly he was," remarked Judge Ford. "I was a little surprised at the length of your deliberations." "I'll tell you about that," said the juror. "If you had rested your case when the state got through we would have acquitted your man in a second. That testimony you put in for the defense sort of rattled us." "I'm an old juror, judge, and I want to give you a word of advice. When in a trial by jury you are defending an innocent man keep him off the witness stand."—Cleveland Leader. DENVER DIRECTORY BON I.

MATERIAL FOR A NOVELIST Peculiar Circumstance of a Lord With- out a Barony and a Castle Owner Without a Shilling. Whether it is preferable to be a lord without a barony or a castle nwner without a shilling? A man and a woman in Great Britain are in that position at the present time. The man is a descendant of a lord who was rather dilatory in legitima- tizing his offspring, bu: an appeal to the courts has made the effect of a late marriage retrospective, and hence the descendant is declared to be the rightful heir to a turony which is held by another man. All that the claimant desired, however, was to have his legitimacy estab- lished; he was willing to forego the barony. On the other hand the wom- an in question, the widow of an offi- cer, is in the curious plight of hav- ing a castle on her hands without any money to pay her servants’ wages or to buy them food. For debts not of her own contracting even her carriages and horses have been seized, the former being now used by farmers in which to drive to market and the latter employed by the village beer seller to carry -ound his porter. Here are materi- tls ready to the hand of the roman- lic novelist, for the heir to the bar- ony would be an ideal mate for the widow. She could provide the castle, leaving him the minor detail of fur- nishing the title* and the money. This would be a welcome innovation on the too common proceeding of the woman furnishing the ready cash and the man only an empty title and castle equally without value.

A dainty little workbag, just fitted to hold the embroidered collars and belts and other paraphernalia of the summer piazza, is of figured lawn, over a lining of ght blue china silk. China silk makes a good lining, by the way, for bags which are to hold embroid- ery silks and other things which might be likely to catch upon rougher fabrics, On each side of the bag is a semicircle of lace insertion, border- ed with a shirring of blue baby ribbon. The embroidery hoop handles are cov- ered with blue ribbon. ‘The use of a knot is to.be avolded in sewing and not to be tolerated in embroidery. The accomplished needle woman rarely finds it necessary to start with a knot, save in gathering or basting. Sometimes a tiny one is slipped under a hem, but it will show on right side if material is sheer and makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two or three over and oyer stitches taken on wrong side of material is as secure fs a knot and much more sightly, in embroidery there {s no excuse for a knot, Two or three tiny stitches ta- ken on outline or in body of work where {t {s afterward covered will hold any stitches, Knots only tend to an untidy wrong side, which no good embroiderer will tolerate and make the work rough in laundering. Summer Frills and Fixings. Dutch necks and collarless dresses are spoiling the demand for ear-height collars and some of the departments tell you frankly if you ask for extreme- ly high ones that they do not have them. There is a sort of craze among the girls who like to be odd and “quaint” for the low collars with colored embroidery to match their suits and with them, of course, go em- broldered jabots or bows to match. One needs an extra trunk this season for mare trifles such as this if one’s wardrobe is half equipped with frills, collars, neck fixings generally and belts and sashes. This {s to say not ‘a word about the chiffon overwaist ‘that daughters prodigal of time are making by the score for the varying of their toilets. Hate Still Elaborate. A noticeable point in the woman's) linen costume this year, however, Is that, while the taflored lines run to} < the simplest, in the dress, it is nearly | 2 always offset by an elaborate hat. This may be in the forra of a floral turban, or something built up in the “nabob” turban form, of masses of fancy fou- | of lard, or tulle, with shot effects; or it | le may take the form of a large, wide- | ec crowned hat with a huge bird upon It, | so massed and velled with tulle. This/ ar thot effect has even invaded the fleld | pl of the linen itself, of which a few ex-| bl amples have met my eye, though in-| ot variably In very expensive weaves.— | Ii Harper's Bazar. le The yoke and puffed undersleeves are of white chiffon. Toque composed of small flowers, with chiffon taken round and arranged in a rosette at the side. Materials required: 7 yards crepe meteor, about 4 dozen yards Russia braid, 1% yards chiffon 44 inches wide. Dress for Girl From 16 to 18 Years. —A dress in the sailor style is always so becoming to young girls; it may be made in linen or serge. Three tucks are arranged each side back and [front of akirt and \ouse, on the akirt ‘they are stitched about four inches, and on the blouse to waist. A darker colored material 1s used as a trim- ming; three straps of different widths edge the skirt, collar and cuffs; the belt is also of the darker, and the singlet, which {s in white, 1s trimmed to match. Straw hat trimmed with ribbon, Materials required: 6% yards 48 inches wide and about 1% yards dark material. VERY LATEST IN GLOVES Chantecler Gloves Have Come to Match Chantecler Handker- chiefs—New Hints, Tucked long gloves are in again, and will stay for the summer. Pink silk gloves are reversible te yellow, and just match the tearoee gowns. White kid gloves are stitched in col ors to match the frock. Lavenders ‘and pinks are especially favored. | The stitching itself {s varied; 1 broad chain effect 1s new and pretty. Yellow lisle gloves are cool and washable, and look like the fashion- able but heavy chamois. Thin brown cloth gauntlets are good for the horsewoman. Chantecler gloves have come to match the chantecler handkerchiefs A tiny rooster or a golden pheasant ts embroidered at the elbow. And this new embroidery and back stitching can quite easily be done by one’s self, which is their chief attrac. tion.
