THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SENSATION ON STEAMER Drew Color Line at Sea. Damage suits will Probably be Brought. Mrs. Givens fasted two days and nights because she was discriminated against. VOL. XVI. SENSATE ON ST Drew Color Line at Sea. Dan Brought. Mrs. Givens fasten cause she was di There is a rumor in circulation that within a few days the White Star Line, an English firm, will be named defendant in several damage suits instituted in the United States Circuit Court by Negro citizens of this country in which the petitioners will charge that the officers and employes on the steamer Adriatic, one of the vessels owned by the White Star Line, discriminated against them by reason of their color. Action will be brought against the line either under the common law or the civil rights act, which provide against race discrimination on the high seas. It is said that in recent years there have been many evidences of the drawing the color line on American and English steamers, and while all companies are liable for damages when found guilty of such violations, they have been permitted to carry on their "Jim Crow" methods because no concerted movement has been made to stop them. Liners Impose Laws Against Dis- crimination. Just how indifferent some of the liners have become relating to the law prescribing against race discrimination on the high seas has been made known by the five Negroes who sailed on the steamer Adriatic for America June 14th, and who arrived in this country June 23rd. Mrs. J. E. Givens of Louisville, Ky., who refused to eat a morsel of food for over forty-eight hours because the officers on board the Adriatic wanted to "Jim Crow" her, thinks she is well qualified to tell about the prevalence of race prejudice on the high seas. Others who, on account of their recent experience, are in a position to give some valuable information, are Dr. W. Camphor, president of the Methodist College, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. P. S. Lewis and Dr. P. Whyche, both of Charlotte, N. C. Mrs. Givens, who is president of the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention of the state of Kentucky, and president of the National Council of the Sisterhood, represented the National Baptist Convention at the recent conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was returning to the United States, having visited England, France and Belgium. The rest of the party had also visited many places of interest. Put Negroes at Table Used by Bandmen. A sensation was created on the steamer by Mrs. Givens, who refused to eat for more than two days and nights because the officers wanted to "Jim Crow" her when she took her meals. Her refusal to eat caused such excitement that the captain and other officers of the steamer had a consultation with the irate woman and decided to adhere to her wishes. So, instead of putting her at a rear table with the other Negroes, Mrs. Givens was assigned at the best table with the whites. Doctor Camphor, who also protested against the "Jim Crowing" of the Negroes, was given a seat at another table. Doctor Lewis and Doctor Whyche, although incensed at the discriminating attitude of the officers of the Adriatic, made no serious protest against the treatment accorded them and, together with a Negro chauffeur, whose employer was also on the ship, ate at a table used by the bandmen. It is said that they will be the principal plaintiffs in the suits against the White Star Line. When Mrs. Givens was first seated at the best table with the whites about three Southerners are said to have hastily arisen, but they forgot about their prejudices at the next meal and during the rest of the voyage nothing was said or done to show that ill-feeling had been created by the seating of Mrs. Givens or Doctor Camphor with the whites. Several white women who live in Brooklyn were particularly attentive to Mrs. Givens, among whom were Mrs. M. Furman, and Mrs. Eliza Hinds and daughter, Miss Mary E. Hinds. According to Mrs. Given, H. W. McElroy, the purser, was very insulting, and when she registered a protest against being "Jim Crowed" declared: "White folks are white folks and black folks are black folks. They should not be put at the same table when they eat." Mrs. Givens Tells of Her Experience. In relating her experience to a DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20 1910. representative of The Age, Mrs. Givens said: "After visiting Scotland, England, France, Belgium and other countries abroad I boarded the steamer for home. The first thing I met after the four small tugs had drawn the large steamer Adriatic in mid-ocean was the color-line. There were some two hundred passengers aboard and but five dark Americans, and although we occupied different parts of the line at dinner we found ourselves seated at a bad table in the corner. "Innoticed the discrimination and went to the steward and informed him that I did not intend to sit there at that table used by the bandmen and would not be Jim Crowed. Doctor Camphor also protested and we were referred to the purser, who was very insulting and said that white folks were white folks and black folks were black folks and that the blacks would have to eat together. "I gave out the statement that I would not eat if Jim Crowed, and for more than two days and nights refused food. I was standing out for the principle of the thing and had made up my mind to starve to death and be buried at sea rather than be mistreated because I was colored. "On the third day I asked for an interview with the captain, stating that I wanted him to give me a ruling in writing. This brought all the high officials together and I was sent for. A heated discussion ensued and I declared that I had paid for the same privileges as the white passengers and would die before I would eat food on a ship under proscription. "The captain wanted to know what terms would satisfy me, and I replied that all I wanted was to be assigned to a table with the rest of the passengers regardless of color. Orders were given that I be placed at any table in the dining room, which was done. "After I had gained my point I was surrounded by many white women, who made me tell of my travels abroad. Some of them locked arms with me and we walked on deck together. I had no further trouble on board after the third day at sea.—Age. HAS LARGE FAMILY Washington, D.C., Aug. 11. Richard Johnson, a Negro, 63 years, but looks to be 40, is the father of twenty-five children, all living. In addition, he boasts of twenty-six grandchildren. He modestly admits he has lived here all through the Roosevelt administration without having become known to the former President Johnson has been married three times. His family has assumed such proportions that he absolutely refuses to try to remember ages RACE NEWS Birmingham, Ala., August 9. A new bank, making three in all for Birmingham, opened in this city this week with $4,000 being deposited on the first day. Dr. U. G. Mason is the president of the new institution. The meeting of the National Medical Association at Washington will be a liberal education to the men of medical science. A sight of the magnificent $750,000 Freedmen's Hospital alone is worth traveling all the way to Washington, to say nothing of the other 1,001 attractions that the local committee is offering. The Negro in no part of the South is standing still, either in the matter of industrialism or in the matter of educational advancement. In 1890 there were only 4,000 brick and stone masons among our people in the South; at the present time there are over 14,000. In 1890 there were only 4,000 stationary engineers and firemen; now there are over 10,000. The Tuskegee Messenger tells of a colored woman in Mason county, Alabama, who raised 137 spring chickens this year, has 35 dozen eggs to be hatched, sold $8 worth of eggs and $3 worth of chickens, gave six chickens to the sick, has five acres of knee-high cotton, two acres of corn and one acres of peas. She does all of her farm work herself except the plowing, cares for her two cows, does her own house-work and makes 75 cents each week washing, and has enough spare time to lead in the church and entertain a large host of friends who visit her frequently. Her name is Mrs. Irene Smith, and she lives at Zion Hill, Ala. Chicago, Ill., August 9.—At the regular monthly meeting of the Clark County Central Committee of the Socialist party resolutions were passed favoring the granting of a charter to colored citizens of the Second ward. The resolution further declared that a vigorous campaign ought to be instituted among the Negroes for the purpose of swelling the Socialist vote of Chicago. The resolutions continue: The old parties are no longer friendly to the black man and he is fully cognizant of this fact. The cause of the thousands of Negro workers of Chicago is our cause. The international watchword of the Socialist party, "Workingmen everywhere unite!" applies to the black man as well as to the white. The sesolutions were vigorously applauded. White Plague Raise Question as to whether Negro Champions can stand Pase of the title. Death of Jackson, Dixon and Gans Cited as Example. Denver, Aug. 11.—Can a colored boxer stand the championship pace? This is a question worthy of a great amount of consideration and perhaps more right now, on account of the recent death of Joe Gans, mourned and remembered as the "Old Master." The passing of Gans who by the way was one who helped to uplift the game, recalls the finish of other Negro fighters who have fought their way to the top, only to drop back suddenly from the pugilistic limelight. Just as suddenly have these few been claimed by the grim reaper and in each the end was untimely. though outweighed by many pounds. Joe Gans was another one of his old time foes, and the two fought a sizzling 20 round draw at Frisco back in September, 1904. In his other battles were included such fighters as Sandy Ferguson, Honey Mellody, Joe Grimm, Young Peter Jackson and a host of lesser lights. Walcott was usually known as the "Barba-does Kid," the place from whence he hailed at the time of his appearance on the pugilistic horizon. Going back to Peter Jackson, we find another colored fighter who was always known as a hard hitter but on account of his color Before Gans there went George Dixon, the valiant little featherweight, who listed among his friends all the white flowers of the sport. Then there was Peter Jackson, the veteran of many a scathing heavyweight battle, but who on account of his color never attained his one ambition—that of champion of the big men. It was the fate of these three, and they were all marvels more or less in their respective times, to pass into the great beyond victims of tuberculosis. That three of them should meet the same kind of an end and the fact that they were all Negroes leads one to ask what reason can account for it. In addition, there were any number of other Negro boxers who, while never considered champion possibilities, bore enviable records and each and every one of them have passed into oblivion in so far as the outside sporting world is concerned. One could name almost a score of these, but most of them have been forgotten. Chief among them was Joe Walcott, who in his prime was a terror, but now seems to have dropped from the face of the earth, due perhaps to the fact his long career in the ring has left him in a state popularly classed nowadays as "all in." He was last heard of some time last fall, when he appeared up in Portland, Me., but, like the rest of the "old boys," he is all through. Speaking of Walcott, a glance at his record brings forth a few interesting facts and his career is probably as interesting as any of the pas pugilist. In his time he never did much bickering about weights, but he took on anyone willing to meet him and never even barred heavies. He fought two draws with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and battled Sam Langford to a draw in 15 rounds near Boston, even though outweighed by many pounds. Joe Gans was another one of his old time foes, and the two fought a sizzling 20 round draw at Frisco back in September, 1904. In his other battles were included such fighters as Sandy Ferguson, Honey Mellody, Joe Grimm, Young Peter Jackson and a host of lesser lights. Walcott was usually known as the "Barbadoes Kid," the place from whence he hailed at the time of his appearance on the pugilistic horizon. Going back to Peter Jackson, we find another colored fighter who was always known as a hard hitter but on account of his color was never conceded a clear claim to the heavyweight championship. He was in his prime at the time John L. Sullivan held sway over the heavies, and as the latter never would consider meeting a Negro, Jackson was eliminated entirely. It was much like the situation we had in the past year when Jack Johnson claimed the heavyweight championship but because of the fact that Jeff was never beaten a number were inclined to take his claim somewhat lightly. Johnson was luckier than his predecessor, however, for he at least received the opportunity to show that he was the superior of the white man. An idea of just how good Jackson really was is furnished by the mere fact that he fought a memorable 61 round draw with Corbett at San Francisco back in May, 1891. The battle was one of the longest ever witnessed on the coast, and it was at this time that Corbett was looming up as a possible successor to John L. Sullivan. Jackson stuck to the game to the very end, and it is even said today that when Jeffries knocked him out in the third round he was more dead than alive, due to the ravages of the "white plague." This meeting occurred March 22, 1898, and it was not long after this when the great Negro boxer breathed his last. Joe Gans' untimely death recalls a career probably more brilliant in the eyes of the present-day fan than any of those who have gone before him. Gans was as well, if not better known than any of the fighters of the present generation, and his few big battles stand out prominently even now. In everyday life Gans was the opposite of what he was in the ring. Fighting he was an aggressive person, always on the alert and in any case a dangerous opponent. Ordinarily he was typical of his race. Easy going, care-free and apparently well satisfied with himself and conditions, he always made friends quickly. Once on his feet, he spent money lavishly, lived as well as money would keep him and incidentally fell a victim to the elusive "bones."—Republican.

TRADES A SPECIALTY. 918 Nineteenth St. Denver, Colo. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN. Four men were killed Sunday when the steam schooner Phoenix blew up at sea near the Point Arena, Calif., lighthouse. Conversation between Denver and New York, over 2,000 miles of heavy copper wire telephone cables, soon will be an established fact. Lawyers' expense accounts running as high as $300,000, a single fee, all ready paid, amounting to $750,000, and continuing fees still pending that would aggregate about $5,000,000, figured in the investigation of the Oklahoma Indian land affairs by the special committee appointed by the House of Representatives. The government has advanced the time of selling the unappropriated land in the rich Uintah basin of Utah from next spring, when it was expected it would be thrown upon the market, to Nov. 1. There is vast interest in Utah and in northwestern Colorado in the sale, for in those sections the extraor dinary value of the land and the richness of its soil are known and appreciated. The Jarboe collection, consisting of original documents and pamphlets of the French Revolution, has been acquired by the Stanford University library from the estate of the late John R. Jarboe of San Francisco. The collection contains almost 2,500 documents many being source materials and most of the pamphlets having been printed at the time of the French Revolution. FOREIGN. Florence Nightingale, the famous nurse of the Crimean War and the only woman who ever received the Order of Merit, died Sunday afternoon at her London home. L. R. Keogh of the Ottawa (Ont.) collegiate institute staff, has discovered a great scientific fact of possibly financial importance. After years of investigation he has transmuted copper into iron. An excursion train from Bordeaux, France, with 1,200 passengers and running at a speed of fifty miles an hour, crashed into a freight train at Saujon Sunday. Thirty-two persons were killed and 100 injured. The Mexican government sent a military band to Juarez, across the river from El Paso, for the purpose of meeting and escorting to the capital the sixty delegates from the United States and Canada to the Centennial exposition. Casualties from the great floods which last week inundated many districts in Japan and Friday and Saturday submerged two of the principal wards of Tokio almost entirely, were given out Monday after official investigation, as 1,112 dead and missing. President Pedro Montt of Chile, who arrived at Bremen on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse Tuesday morning, died there at 11:50 o'clock p. m from a recurrence of heart disease, following a recent attack of angina pectoris. WASHINGTON. The President has signed proclamations eliminating 442,340 additional acres of land from the national forests in Colorado. The importation of luxuries into the United States was larger in the fiscal year 1910 than in any earlier year in the history of our commerce. It is said that Secretary Ballinger is to retire from the cabinet and that Hon. Joseph G. Cannon will not again be a candidate for speaker of the House. American society women henceforth may take their wearing apparel and other personal effects, including gowns, jewelry, etc., and have them remodeled or repaired in Paris, London and elsewhere, and on their return pay duty only on the alterations, instead of the entire effects, as now. This news, gratifying to a host of more or less rich people, is conveyed in a decision of the Treasury Department signed by Secretary MacVeagh and made public Saturday. Returning passengers will be required to specifically declare such articles, with the cost of repair, and show bills therefore, if they have them. With the rights of some 30,000 Indians in question, the Supreme Court of the United States will begin consideration during the approaching term of some of the most perplexing problems arising out of the relation of the United States to its wards. Washington has been captured by the Esperantists. One thousand delegates have come to attend the sixth international congress of Esperanto, which opened officially Monday morning and will continue in session throughout the whole of the week. WESTERN LEAGUE. With the largest list of contestants ever entered in the tournament, play in the thirtieth annual lawn tennis championship of the United States began on the Casino courts at Newport, R. I., Monday. The entry list, which numbers 181, includes nearly all the tennis experts of the country. POLITICAL. Capt. Benjamin W. Hooper of Newport, Cooke county, was Tuesday nominated for governor of Tennessee by the Republican state convention. The Texas Democratic state convention has adjourned after indorsing United States Senator Bailey for the Democratic nomination for President in 1912, and nominating a full state ticket. Coly. Roosevelt, in all probability, will attend the Republican state convention at Saratoga next month. He said that if he should be selected as a delegate from Nassau county he would attend, and in that case probably he would make a speech. The New York Republican state committee, in session in New York City, by a vote of 20 to 15, refused to recommend Col. Roosevelt for temporary chairman of the state convention which meets at Saratoga September 27th; instead, Vice President Sherman was selected. In California's first primary election Tuesday insurgency seems to have won the day. There is no doubt that Hiram W. Johnson, under the banner of insurgency and rebellion against the political activities of the Southern Pacific railway, has swept the state for the nomination for governor. GENERAL. Mayor Gaynor's progress toward recovery is still unbroken. Census returns: Newark, N. J., 347,469; Scranton, Pa., 129,867; Schenectady, N. Y., 72,826. The recall of the state militia to Columbus (O.) for riot duty was marked Monday night by a cessation of the disturbances. The Standard Oil Company Tuesday declared a regular quarterly dividend of $6 per share. John D. Rockefeller's portion is $1,620,000. Rev. A. B. Simpson of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Old Orchard, Me., raised the sum of $61,015.24 in the annual collection Sunday. The population of Pittsburg, Pa., is 533,905, an increase of 82,393, or 18.2 per cent. The population of Syracuse, N. Y., is 137,249, an increase of 28,875. A report comes from the United Mine Workers convention at Indianapolis that an attempt will be made to depose President Thomas L. Lewis. The condition of James Whitcomb Riley, who suffered a stroke of paralysis three weeks ago, is improved, and hopes of his ultimate recovery are growing, though friends still fear a second stroke of paralysis. Suits for injunctions, accountings and damages totalling millions of dollars and bringing into question deals involving four railroads were filed in Cincinnati Tuesday by Rudolph and Leopold Kleyboite, brokers. Chief of Police George Yeager was put on trial before the City Council of Des Moines Tuesday on charges of mal-administration, brought by the Iowa Anti-Saloon League. Chief Yeager is accused of permitting resorts and gambling rooms to run and of not enforcing the law providing that the saloons close at a certain midnight hour. It is reported that negotiations may be undertaken soon to unite the National Fraternal Congress and the Associated Fraternities of America, which will hold their annual meetings this month. The two organizations split some years ago on the question of adequate rates, but there are increasing evidences of a possible agreement on the question. The Illinois State Food Commission demands that ice cream must be of not more than 1 per cent gelatine, gum tragacanth or other harmless vegetable gum, and contain not more than 5,000,000 bacteria when meited. Another respite for the alleged Illinois Central conspirators, charged with mutcling that road of a million and a half dollars, came Monday in a delay of forty-eight hours before filling the informations at Chicago that will bare the names of the men to be arrested. For the first time in the history of aviation in this country four persons have been carried in a heavier-than-air machine. The event was performed by Charles F. Willard in a Curtiss bi-plane at Mineola, N. Y. A working model of an automatic machine gun which, it is said, will discharge bullets over a range of a mile or more at the rate of 1,000,000 a minute and with a muzzle velocity of more than 3,000 feet a second, and operated by a secret mechanical power, was demonstrated in New York by the inventor, Frederick E.

Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider CHARLES S. WEST ROCKING CHAIR JOHN W. WEST Austin's Candies General House Furnishings 2559 WELTON STREET Phone—Main 3230 The Right Kind of Reading Matter DOINGS Senator Gove's Bank Bill. Although unfavorable to the guarantee of deposits, Senator Gove has introduced a bank bill. He states frankly that he introduced it at the request of the banking interests and will seek to amend it if it comes up for discussion. The bills of Senator Crowley and Senator Gove are the opposite poles of the problem. Senator Crowley's bill provides for both a mutual and an individual guaranty—the Texan plan—while Gove's bill contains no guaranty at all. Senator Gove introduced his measure at the morning session Monday. It provides for a bank commissioner, who shall serve for six years and he paid $5,000 a year. The professed object of the bill is to strengthen weak banks by forcing them to come up to the requirements of the strongest banks and to make it impossible for unsound institutions to enter the banking field. To attain this end the bill gives the bank commissioner broad powers to take hold of weak banks and wind up their affairs. Democratic and Republican senators maintain that the Gove bill does not come within the call for the extra session and cannot be considered. Senator Gove himself says that he is not certain it can be included within the view of the call, but he insists that it is a good solution of the banking problem and that he will do all he can to have it considered. Direct Primary Bill. The direct primary bill is yet in the committee of elections. The chairman, Representative Helbig of Denver, was in favor of reporting all bills out favorably so as to give the House a chance to settle the matter in open debate. The members of all committees have manifested a desire to read the bills, section by section, however, believing this will expedite matters. The direct primary bill of Representative H. A. Hicks of Gilpin was taken up Monday afternoon and four sections considered. The committee has not taken up section 4 yet for the reason that that is the one in which a convention feature will be inserted, if at all. The only important recommendation decided on was in regard to petitions of candidates. The bill provides that a candidate or set of candidates for office may be placed on the primary ballot by one and the same petition. The committee will recommend that every candidate must have his own separate petition. Referendum Bill. Fifteen per cent of the voters will be required to initiate legislation in Colorado if the bill, as framed by the majority of the Democratic senatorial caucus, becomes a law. Moreover, the petitions must be signed by 15 per cent in at least two-thirds of the counties of the state. Senator West introduced the resolution providing for the 15 per cent and it was carried. Then Senator Burris moved that the percentage be reduced to 10 and said that he was willing to accept the two-thirds restriction clause if 10 per cent was agreed upon. The majority, however, voted down the 10 per cent and then attached the two-thirds restriction to the 15 per cent. Twining voted for the 10 per cent, but on the motion to require signatures equal to 15 per cent of the vote in two-thirds of the counties he voted in the affirmative. West also voted for this restriction. The vote, therefore, stood 11 to 8. Notes. Only formal business was transacted at the Monday morning session of the House. Chairman Charles B. Ward held a conference with the Democrats at 11:30, in which he said the legislative redistricting by the regular session had resulted in confusion in regard to the chairmen of senatorial and representative districts. He asked those who represented split districts to join with him in issuing a call for district conventions, for the conventions must be called within two weeks and delegates named. Monday E. P. Costigan, Senator Skinner, Representative Skinner, E. E. McLaughlin and others interested in direct legislation, held a meeting to discuss the report that the brewery interests were trying to doctor the initiative and referendum bills. In Helbig's House bill they discovered which they think would nullify the local option laws. It gives cities and towns the right to exercise the initiative and referendum to exclusively regulate and control all matters involving the home rule principle. It was held that under such a law the people of the entire city could vote to make all wards and precincts dry. It also was held that such a provision might interfere with the work of the proposed public utilities commission. The suggestion has been made that if the initiative and referendum is passed, it should be with the proviso that at least 50 per cent of the voters taking part in the election in question must vote on the proposed law, otherwise the vote is void. Representative Helbig was asked directly by the chairman if his bill was intended to vitiate the local option law. He replied that it would not affect the law at all, unless the people wished to use their own discretion in the matter of a wet or dry town. ITEMS Cortez wants more houses.

Mrs. Clyde Vickers of Marshall Pass is the proud mother of triplets, two boys and a girl. Mrs. Vickers is 19 years of age and weighs ninety-eight pounds. The stork brought a handful of girls—three, count 'em—to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Jones, living near Greeley. The little lassies weighed between five and six pounds each. The Great Western Sugar Company is building an alfalfa meal mill at Sterling. The plant will have a capacity of grinding five and a half tons per hour and will cost $25,000. Three prominent citizens of Greeley were hailed into court for playing poker, but when they proved they were playing "just for fun," without money at stake, they were released. H. T. Hackley, a farmer, was probably fatally hurt by being struck by a train near Gill. He was thrown twenty feet in the air by the impact and his team of mules met instant death. The foundation of the Western Slope Normal at Gunnison is about ready for the superstructure, which will be of brick with white stone trimmings. It will be a beautiful building. The State Highway Commission has made the following appropriations: To Mesa county, for the road from DeBeque to Palisade, $2,500; to Prowers county, $1,000; to Montrose county, $1,500; to Archuleta county, $1,000. The State Highway Commission has declared the road being built from Brush to the state line a state highway and appropriated $1,400 each to Washington and Yuma counties provided those counties use twice that amount in work on the road. The Clear Creek county commissioners have purchased a rock crusher to be used in connection with road building in that county. It is hoped that by the use of crushed rock the heavy rains in the mountains will not damage the roads as much as formerly. Beet factories in the Arkansas valley have made concessions in prices to growers which, it is predicted, is "an insurance of the most prosperous time the Valley of Content has ever experienced."

THE DOCTOR'S IDEA. Invalid—Doctor, I must positively insist upon knowing the worst. be. Dr. Wise—Well, I guess my bill will be about $85. In the Desert. Here is a glimpse of the horrors of a western desert, taken from the Goldfield (Nev.) News: "Another desert victim is reported, and Archie Campbell, manager of the Last Chance mining property near Death valley, came to Goldfield yesterday to endeavor to establish the identity of the unfortunate. "Mr. Campbell encountered the unknown man on the desert in a frightful condition. He was in the last stages of desert exhaustion, devoid of clothing, sunburned, blistered and crazed, with his tongue swollen enormously, a pitiable object, and unable to speak. "He was tenderly conveyed to camp and everything possible done for him, but kind aid came too late, for an hour after he had absorbed the first cup of water he expired." One Side Enough. Senator William Alden Smith tells of an Irish justice of the peace out in Michigan. In a trial the evidence was all in and the plantiff's attorney had made a long and very eloquent argument, when the lawyer acting for the defense arose. "What are you doing?" asked the justice, as the lawyer began. "Going to present our side of the case." "I don't want to hear both sides argued. It has tindency to confuse the coort."—Washingtonian. Nipped In the Bud. The Minister (stopping to tea)—No, thank you, I must decline on the cucumbers.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: THE INDEPENDENT. THE DENVER INDEPENDENT is the name of a new Race journal whose initial number was distributed over the city last week. In a long statement to the public it outlines its principles and policies in a manner to at once command attention and respect. It is well edited and well arranged, for a first number, but it makes the fact apparent that its particular mission is to voice that unrest which is undoubtedly prevalent among a considerable portion of our population, whose faith in the patient, old-time methods is drooping. Its policies and expectations are ideal, but it will take a year of hard struggle to prove that they are practical. The things for which our partisan newspapers are often criticized by impatient and sensitive readers are the things made necessary by conditions existing among the people themselves, and are not due to either the fear or cupidity of partisan publishers who have an eye to business. The legitimate mission of a newspaper is to represent and express public opinion rather than to mould public opinion to conform to and agree with the elevated ideas of an impatient, daring but perhaps impractical element. Our Race might be better off if it could get along without engaging in politics at all, but it can not ignore its civic duties and privileges without entirely surrendering its established legal status, upon which it must depend, theoretically, for the protection and security of all of its interests; and to engage in politics with any hope for success or advantage, consistent partisan alliance seems to us to be imperative. But an honest difference of opinion is not without its benefits. Negro newspapers whatever their opinions or abilities, should be above jealousies and dishonest bickerings, and it gives us genuine pleasure to welcome The Independent to the journalistic arena. The Independent exposes but one shortcoming. Capt. Thomas Campbell is announced as its able editor and manager, but following the express reservation that "it is not his paper," The Independent fails to say who its promoters and backers are. It should not be afraid to fly the names of its officers from such an independent masthead. CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM IN AFRICA The report of the Berlin Missionary Society for 1909 makes clear the circumstance that Mohammedanism is gaining more proselytes than is Christianity among the natives in the colonies of German East Africa. In northern Abyssinia, also, it appears that whole tribes which were once Christian and still bear Christian names, have become Mohammedan. In the German colonies it is a matter of primary conversion of the heathen population, but in Abyssinia it is a matter of a change of religion. By far greater effort has been made for the religious instruction and conversion of the natives of East Africa than for those of the western portions of the continent, where civilization lags on account of the greater hostility of the climate to European and all other Caucasian settlement, but even in the latter portion the Christian influence of Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Gold Coast colonies is far less powerful in its effect upon the native mind and character than is that of the more easily acquired and seemingly more practical Mohammedan faith. The Negro church in Christian lands must view with considerable interest this primal struggle of counter-religious influences in Africa, for some day it will be called upon to exert iteslf more actively than now in the work of evangelizing Africa's millions of groping inhabitants, for after all, the matter of racial influence and racial ideals have much to do with the permanent religious faith of any people. Mohammedanism does not depend upon modern civilizing influences for its understanding and acceptance as does Christianity to a large degree, but, to a far greater extent, it is a religion of fanatical and superstitious forms, easily communicated by individuals and appealing naturally to the Oriental mind as well as the heathen instinct. Religion is one of the great, necessary forces for the advancement of the world, and the future of Africa and the welfare of the Negro everywhere is bound up in the character of those religious doctrines which shall finally form the greatest basis of his faith. The continued establishment, active superstition and liberal support of Christian missions in all parts of Africa is a necessity that should appeal with great force to Christian bodies the world over, for Christianity is a progressive, civilizing religion whose elevating and redeeming force is most needed where indolent fanaticism holds highest sway. By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE NTICRUELTY societies, humane societies and endowed and well-supported institutions for the benefit of our speechless animal friends are abundant and these have laws galore. Yet in the city of Chicago horses by the hundreds are abused, mutilated and cruelly tortured on our streets. A In the statutes of Illinois, published in the Humane Advocate, the fortieth annual report of the Humane society, there is a clause reading that "whoever cuts the solid part of the tail of any horse in the operation known as docking, or by any operation performed for the purpose of shortening the tail, and who shall cause the same to be done or assist in doing such cutting, unless such is proved to be a benefit to the horse, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100. "Conocerning Cruelty to Animals" another clause reads, "by carrying or driving, or causing to be carried or driven or kept, any animal in an unnecessarily cruel manner." Both of these clauses fully cover docked tails, short checkreins and curb bits, now so universally used. Little attention has been paid to the cruelties of the curb bit. It is an instrument of torture belonging to the dark ages. As it lies across the tongue of the horse it cuts cruelly and brings a horse down to heart-broken submission. The construction on the outside is sufficient to prove its wicked torture. These bits are largely used by bus drivers and society people, who sport smart equipages. In order to look smart their horses have tails cut so short that they stand erect in the air in an atrocious manner, shamefully disfiguring the horse. As if this was not enough, the curb bit is used and an extra strap is brought across the nose and then the poor animal is checked up so short that it is in misery if it moves. According to the statutes of these societies all these atrocities could be stopped, the offenders punished and the fines go into the treasuries of the societies. A. H. Will some humane, Christian people interest themselves in our noble friend, the horse, and join the Humane society and Anticruelty society in such numbers that they will force activities among the membership. A woman whose only asset in the money making way was a pleasant cottage situated in a shady yard near a summer hotel, last year made a comfortable income for herself through the suggestion of a friend. Unique Way of Earning Spending Money By Clarence George Malmrose Earning Spending Money By Clarence George Malmrose The friend was at the hotel with her small child, who was rather too old for the extra expense of a nurse, yet who could not be permitted to run wild. “This vacation is no rest for me,” moaned the mother. “I’m nothing but a nursemaid, cannot get away from Bobby an hour at a time. I am crazy to accept Mrs. Blayne’s invitation for a morning bridge, but how can I with that child tagging at my heels?” "Let him come over and play in our yard," was the reply. "An imposition," murmured the mother, her face lightening perceptibly. "How I wish there was a day nursery for children of the moderately well off." "Done," said the woman, who needed money. "I'll start one if you'll be my first patron." Bobby arrived about ten o'clock and had such a good time playing under the trees, digging in a flower pot, or listening to stories that he did not want to go back to the hotel when his mother appeared, prize in hand. It was a gay week at the hotel and the next day Bobby returned, accompanied by several small friends, whose mothers were also without nurses. There was no elaborate preparation, no cut and dried system of amusement. The children played by themselves in safe quarters, with occasional suggestion and supervision from the "lovely lady" on the porch. There were not even regular hours. It became the habit for mothers who had engagements to leave their little ones for an hour or two while they sailed or climbed or went to a band conocert. Soon one or two women whose children were mere babies, too small to be taken to the dining-room, asked permission to leave the infants safely ensconced in their coaches on the porch or under the trees with the fostering care of a woman who needed money. It was a great convenience to mothers who did not keep a nurse and not a hardship to the child chaperon, as she soon came to be known. She had as real a love of children as her want of money was real and the combination of the two needs worked splendidly. Aviation Accidents on Rapid Increase By ANTHONY WAGNER We frequently read of aviation fatalities and recently the list of those killed is increasing at the rate the sport is growing. I predict that before man can conquer the air there will be an appalling sacrifice, not only in the number killed or injured, but in the terrible deaths some will suffer. What could be more dreadful, while consciousness lasts, than plunging from a height of hundreds of feet, knowing that mangling must result? Count Zeppelin's airship was disabled on its initial passenger trip, it being, I believe, the first to carry regular passengers. This serves as a warning that we are decades from a safe commercial end of the game, and it will never be half as safe as transportation on the earth's surface. We have witnessed balloon ascensions at amusement grounds and have seen the aeronaut descend safely in a small parachute which would weigh but a few pounds. Why don't the aviators supply their planes or dirigibles with life preservers in the shape of parachutes. These, however, would not be of much use over water and flights over channels seem to be a recent diversion. A HARDWARE AND SPORTING GOODS 1648 to 1654 Arapahoe Street, Denver Copyright 1910, by L.

SUIT FOR LIBEL BROUGHT AGAINST PAPER BY LUCAS Suit demanding $30,000 for alleged libel has been brought in the Federal Court by Alzamon Ira Lucas against the Denver Express, based on an article which appeared in that paper June 24, in which Lucas was branded as a "faker" and the deliverer of "immoral lectures." It went on to say that he had been driven out of Denver for distributing improper literature among high school students. Lucas gained considerable notoriety here several years ago through his religious teachings and his marriage to a white woman. John T. Bottom is his attorney.—Denver Republican.

Johnson, colored was taken to jail, owing to his becoming involved in a fist fight, with a white man over a seat in a street car I wonder, when the time will come when the threats of lynching, the lawlessness of the Southerner, will ever cease? It seems so strange that the Western white man can't learn something that is good and elevating from the Southerner other than the bad and the degrading. Miss E. C.

After a war scare faded probability," said a state de- official, "the emperor never I WONDER WHETHER OWN THIS OR WHETHER I DON'T A REPORT made to congress by a commission appointed to examine land titles in the District of Columbia discloses that many lots of land occupied by modern business houses and residences in the national capital are still owned by the government, notwithstanding the present tenants believe they have a clear title to the property. This question of land titles in the national capital is not a new one. Two years ago congress created a commission to study it. The commission consisted of the attorney general, the secretary of war, Senator Scott of West Virginia, Representative Bartholdt of Missouri, and one of the district commissioners. The report reveals a horrible land tangle, which the courts will probably never be able to straighten out. The tangle is the outcome of the wild speculation in real estate that took place for a good many years after the capital was laid out. Private lands were acquired in RESTRICTIVE LAWS TO MARKET DURN THAT FENCE DEER and elk preserves may play an important part in reducing the high cost of beef. According to government experts who have made an investigation of the cost and methods of raising venison, declare that the game laws of the various states are preventing deer and elk farming and denying the country one of its chief sources of cheap and good meat. Deer and elk can be raised readily in nearly every state in the Union. They are easily controlled and cheaply fed. The increase of elk under domestication is fully equal to that of cattle. The state and the government, through its Yellowstone park officials, have co-operated with individual ranchmen in caring for the vast herds of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in Wyoming. It is estimated that there are 30,000 elk in the Yellowstone park region, constituting the only great herd left. For two or three winters these elk have been fed, and have now IN the present census the government has made a great effort to obtain, through special agents, full and authentic data concerning the tribal relations of the Indians, as a decade hence when the fourteenth census will be taken, it probably will be found that those Indians who are now dependent wards of the nation have become full-fledged citizens. The Indian population of the United States decreased in the decade from 1890 to 1900, from 273,607 to 266,760. In 1880 the care of the Indians cost the national government $5,206,109; in 1909 the cost had risen to $15,724,162, more than three times as much.

The emperor writes with a quill pen, and if one may judge by his signature on file in the state department, does not take much time about it. Washington, in the early days, by a very simple process. The territory "not exceeding" ten miles square was ceded to the United States government by Maryland and Virginia and placed under the authority of three commissioners, appointed by the president. They or any two of them were required, under the direction of the president, to survey and by proper metes and bounds define and limit a district of territory, and the territory so defined was established as a permanent seat of the government of the United States. Power was given the commissioners to purchase or accept land on the eastern side of the Potomac, for the use of the United States, and the commissioners were further required to provide suitable buildings for the accommodation of congress, the president and public officers of the government of the United States. It was to raise money to erect the public buildings that the government planned to sell its land to private parties. No sooner had the capital city been laid out than land speculators appeared on the scene, and as a result of their operations, it is asserted, much land which belonged to the government illegally passed to individual owners. come to look upon the feeding as a matter of course, and State Game Warden Nowlin of Wyoming, who has led the feeding experiments, says that the last of the great elk herds is becoming rapidly domesticated. Several ranchmen in the Rocky mountain country have conducted private elk preserves for years. Outside of the private elk preserves there are few herds left in the west. Barret Littlefield, who lives near Slater, has several hundred elk on his great ranch. Every season he ships many carcasses of elk to the Denver market, besides supplying zoological gardens throughout the country. He has found it profitable to raise elk for the market—so profitable that he abandoned the cattle business years ago and has devoted himself entirely to the raising of venison. There are two other elk preserves in northwestern Colorado. J. B. Dawson, a Routt county ploneer, has several hundred head of elk on his ranch near Hayden. In nearly every state in the Union the killing of deer is forbidden excepting in the fall and during a limited period. If deer and elk are to be raised for the market the venison farmer must be allowed to kill for the market, whenever the demand is there. the government or by missionary enterprise is 25,777. In these schools no effort is spared to teach the child some industry by which he may support himself when he comes of age, and the Indians are gradually learning to live by the sweat of the brow upon the product of their own self-respecting handiwork, rather than upon the bounty of the government. The Apache Indians employed on the Roosevelt reclamation project under the act of June 17, 1902, earned $34,000 in 1909, and rendered eminently satisfactory service in regions where, on account of the heat, a white man could not have labored. Sheep herding has given profitable employment to many hundreds of Navajos and Pueblos in the past year, and Pima and Papago Indians, employed as navvies on the Southern Pacific railway, earned many thousands of dollars. The Sloux farmers have done well, though they are deficient in the quality of persistent patience that makes the most successful sort of agricultural laborer. C-CROSS HIM TO RESIDENTIAL MINATION? ACHINE PLEASED CLAIMED ROOSEVELT IS AN UNDOUBTED ANTI-TAFT INSURGENT! Oyster Bay. — Theodore Roosevelt may stay out of politics in New York state during the coming campaign as a result of the action of the Republican state committee in refusing to recommend him as temporary chairman of the state convention. Colonel Roosevelt laughed as he talked of the meeting and said that the result gave him genuine pleasure. He explained his attitude by saying that he felt the committee had relieved him of all responsibility in connection with the conduct and result of the campaign. He added that he had not decided whether he would attend the convention. He would talk things over with Representative Cocks and other political leaders of his home district, he said, before deciding; and he is inclined to the belief that it would be better to stay away and let the "Old Guard" carry on the fight by itself. New York. — The Herald says: "Theodore Roosevelt for President in 1912," That, in effect, is the announcement from Oyster Bay. The retired President is convinced that the close political friends of President Taft entered into a deal whereby he was to suffer a humiliating defeat for temporary chairman of the state convention, to satisfy the state leaders, who, in turn, are pledged to deliver the state delegation to the President at the next national convention. Consequently the word: "It will not be a surprise to those who are close to Mr. Roosevelt if the recent President finds himself placed in such a position that he will be forced to become an avowed candidate for the presidential nomination in 1912," Meanwhile the leaders of the New York state machine express themselves as highly satisfied with the situation growing out of the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt and say that they have perfected arrangements by which they will control at least 600 votes to 400 for the Roosevelt adherents in the state convention. As a result of his defeat by the Republican state committee, Washington leaders regard Mr. Roosevelt as an avowed Insurgent, placed squarely at the head of the opposition to the Taft administration and a wide split in the party is feared. Vice President Sherman, after a long conference with President Taft, made it clear that direct primaries will be treated as a "dead issue" in the state campaign. To Admit W. F. ot M. Indianapolis—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, appeared in the special convention of the United Mine Workers Wednesday and denied that he was in Indianapolis in the interest of any faction in the miners' organization. He said the object of his visit was to meet with other members of the executive board of the American Federation of Labor to hear the application of Charles Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners for admission to the federation. Denver Man Breaks Pistol Record. Denver.—Corporal F. P. Coffin of Denver, a member of Troop C, Colorado National Guard, established a national record for time fire at 50 yards at the Camp Perry, Ohio, range, this week. By registering 139 out of a possible 150 points Coffin made the highest score ever recorded at a National Guard pistol tourney. Corporal Coffin also carried off two other prizes, and is looked upon as a dangerous contender in the U. S. Army shoot, to be held next week. Optium Joints Raided in Denver. Denver.—Nearly $500 worth of opium, yen shi and cooking apparatus was seized by the revenue officers in Hop Alley Wednesday morning. All of this was seized in the house of Kom Chung, one of the oldest of Denver's Chinese colony. As an introduction to coming punishment, Kom Chung was given a bath.

SIMPLE STATEMENT OF FACT Mr. Johnson Unable to See Where In Any Way He Had "Put His Foot In It." It is common to deplore the lack of humor in a person. Yet the very want of it may save a certain amount of embarrassment, as was the case on a certain occasion with President Johnson. "He was one day," says a writer in Harper's Magazine, "visiting my mother, and a friend, Mrs. Knox, a widow, came in. She had known Mr. Johnson some years before, when he was a member of the legislature, but they had not met since then. "After mutual recognition, Mr. Johnson said, 'How is Mr. Knox? I have not seen him lately.' "He has been dead six years,' said Mrs. Knox. "I thought I hadn't seen him on the street," said Mr. Johnson. "When Mrs. Knox left, my mother said, laughing, 'That was a funny mistake of yours about Mr. Knox.' "What mistake did I make?" said Johnson. "I said I hadn't seen him on the street, and I hadn't." LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909." SOMETIMES.

From several investigations that have been made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, it is estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent. of the prison population of the country is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the 80,000 prisoners housed in the penal institutions of the United States at any given time, not less than 12,000 are infected with this disease. If the Philippine islands and other insular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas and Ohio show such shocking conditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could be found in almost every state, and in the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones. A Treasure.

OCCUPATION IN 1898. Great Development Since the United States Took Possession—Island Now Has Over a Million Inhabitants. "Porto Rico has a great future ahead of her. Her agricultural possi bilities are enormous. The capital which is needed to develop the resources of the island is coming into the country." LAW SERVICE This statement was made by D. A. Skinner, supervisor of the census in Porto Rico, who recently reached Washington and will remain to write his report on the census and conditions of the island. Mr. Skinner has a thorough knowledge of the island, its people and conditions. He has been employed there in an official capacity ever since 1898, when the United States took possession. Before he became supervisor of the census Mr. Skinner was the assistant secretary of Porto Rico. He served in this capacity under William F. Willoughby, who was secretary of Porto Rico, and who is now assistant director of the census bureau. Mr. Skinner has also served in Porto Rico as chief of the bureau of property taxes in the treasury department, as assistant postmaster and as consul. "How great has been the development of the island since the United States took possession of it can be gathered, in part, from the great increase in the sugar trade, Porto Rico's chief business," said Mr. Skinner. "In 1898 the production of sugar was about 75,000 tons. In the last year the production of sugar was about 300,000 tons. "Under the Payne tariff law the sugar industry in Porto Rico receives protection, such as is granted the sugar industry in the United States. This enables the islanders to successfully compete with the Cuban manufacturers." The people seem well satisfied with American rule, says Mr. Skinner, and are thriving under it. He gave credit to Governor Colton for quieting the political troubles of a few months ago. "Governor Colton is doing more and more to interest the people in business and in the development of the country's resources," continued Mr. Skinner. "He is making them forget their political difficulties. "We have never had any revolutionary movement to overcome in Porto Rico, such as has had to be overcome in the Philippines. The Porto Ricans are a peaceful, peace-loving people. "You can judge that the people are peaceful from the fact that the whole island is polled by a force of between 600 and 700 policemen." Mr. Skinner said he was not permitted at this time to give an estimate of the population of the island. There are more than a million inhabitants of the island, it is learned. "They are intelligent," said Mr. Skinner. "The entire census has been taken by Porto Ricans and in the Spanish language, the language of the island. I had eight special agents under me, all of them Porto Ricans, and nearly 1,200 enumerators, who were also islanders. "The laws under which the Porto Ricans are governed are much the same as in this country. They have adopted a code which is practically that of California. "Their corporation laws are much the same as those of New Jersey. But they have outstripped many American communities in the adoption of excellent laws for the control of public service corporations. "Their law dealing with the public service corporations is much similar to that in New York. There is a committee on franchise, which goes carefully into the facts in the case before any charter is granted a corporation to establish public service." Mr. Skinner said that the islanders are extending their railroads and that eventually there will be lines running all around the island and connecting all principal points. The sugar man- ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION ufacturers, many of them, operate their own railroads at present. In San Juan, the capital of the island, which is on the north side, and Ponce, the largest city on the south side of the island, there are electric railways. An effort is being made, said Mr. Skinner, to increase the production of coffee. Speaking of the attempt made by a number of the coffee growers to have a duty placed upon coffee, when the Payne tariff law was under discussion. Mr. Skinner said he did not think the present output of the island would have justified such a tariff. "New York alone could consume all the coffee grown at present in Porto Rico," said Mr. Skinner. "But the coffee men are organizing, better methods of cultivation will be adopted and the area planted will be increased. Undoubtedly there is a big future ahead of the industry in the island." WATERED MALAY RUBBER Consul at Singapore Reports $150,000 Estate Sold to the Public for $800,000. In reporting to this government on opportunities in Malaysia for rubber growing enterprises, Consul General James T. Dubois at Singapore, to show how the investing public is sometimes taken in in the exploitation of the rubber industry there, cited the following: "An estate was sold to promoters for $150,000. The syndicate got an old planter who knew the estate to put a flotation value on it. He named $250,000. The promoters were not satisfied. Another expert examined and reported. His price was $350,000. British and American gold was pouring into the country and the get-rich-quick spirit was born. Another expert was called. He was told of the former valuations and that they were unsatisfactory. He valued the estate at $500,000. "Just at this time rubber took a big bump in the London and New York markets, and another expert was asked to report, and he placed the flotation price at $750,000, and the syndicate, in order to have it in round numbers, made it an even $800,000 and floated it at this price. People fought for the stock, the share issue was over-subscribed and many of them immediately sold at a good advance. All this was done within a few months without the slightest improvements on the property except the natural growth of the few hundred acres of Para plants which had recently been planted." Trained white supervisors on the rubber estates are in demand, the consul general reports, and there is a scarcity of labor and consequent high wages. NO USE FOR SUSPENDERS Shanghaiites Wear Self-Adjusting Trousers and Don't Need any Supporting Garters. There is at least one country in the world where there is no market for suspenders or garters. Consul General Wilder of Shanghai, in reply to inquiries from enterprising American manufacturers, has informed the state department that suspenders do not interest the natives of China because the trousers of the natives are so constructed as to render the use of suspenders unnecessary. Nor do the natives need garters, because the trousers when properly adjusted are tied over the sock at the ankle with a band of ribbon or cotton. Postal Deficit Cut $10,000,000. More than $10,000,000 reduction in the postal deficit was made in the first nine months of the fiscal year just ended, according to final returns received by Postmaster General Hitchcock from the auditor for the post-office department. Such a reduction is unprecedented in the history of the department. The deficit for the nine months was $2,709,000, as against $12,832,000 in the same period of the preceding fiscal year. In the third quarter of the past fiscal year, the quarter ending March 31, the postal service earned a surplus of $1,363,000, the revenue for the quarter amounting to $58,934,000 and the expenditures to $57,561,000. The latter showed an increase of ten per cent. over those of the same quarter last year, while the former showed an increase of less than four per cent "Native" Killt Pueblo—Santos night shot and almos Lorenzo Contreraz, ai in a saloon on Union av had fought early in the Another Train Vic Pueblo.—Falling in an e board a Rio Grande freig. miles west of here, Saturday, noon, Charles Rhodes, aged came here a few days ago from soulr, fell beneath the wheels and life was crushed out while a free, stood by unable to render assistance. Good Dry Land Crop. Greeley.—From 200 acres of dry land one-half mile west of Severance, Frank Briggs and E. Laycock took 5,000 bushels of winter wheat, the biggest yield per acre, so far as known, for dry land wheat in Weld county. They sold the wheat immediately for 90 cents a bushel, or $4,500, and it tested 63 pounds per bushel. The crop was grown without irrigation. Colorado Springs.—C. A. Smith, a tourist from Halsted, Kan., has reported that a wallet containing $200 was taken from his pocket in a Manitou street car Saturday. This is the second theft of almost identical nature within a few days, an Oklahoma City man being robbed of a wallet containing $500 and five railroad tickets in a Manitou car three days ago. The wallet with the tickets was later found in a letter box. Shooting in the Coal Fields. Lafayette.—According to the statements of eye witnesses, John Cassidy, town marshal and a deputy sheriff of Boulder county, shot down an unarmed man on the Burlington track a short distance from Lafayette late Monday afternoon. The man wounded was Barney Fowler, chief guard at the Standard mine. The shooting was the result of the strike now on at the mine, Cassidy is believed by the mine officials to be a union man and is said to be in close sympathy with the strikers, bowler is not fatally hurt. Lands Eliminated. Washington, D. C.—Nearly 100,000 acres of land have been eliminated from the Leadville and Pike National forests in Colorado by proclamation just signed by the President. Most of the land already has been patented, but the unappropriated portions later will be opened to settlement. By these eliminations the Leadville forest loses 42,340 acres, and the Pike 51,024 acres. It is expected that additional proclamations will be signed within a short time which will make the total eliminations from the national forests in Colorado more than half a million acres. Cloudburst in Las Animas County. Cloudburst in Las Amimas County. Trinidad. A cloudburst in Smith canon, thirteen miles southwest of here, Tuesday afternoon, sent a wall of water five feet high down upon Segundo, a mining camp, washing out the tracks of the C. F. & I., and doing considerable damage to company property. The flood waters reached here about 4 p. m., but warning had been sent ahead and residents in the lowlands were prepared to move at a moment's notice. The river rose 4 feet 10 inches in about thirty minutes, but did not reach the danger point and subsided rapidly, causing no particular damage here. State to Have Publication. Denver.—In order to place Colorado's resources before the world in a manner that will prove most effectual the State Board of Immigration yesterday decided to inaugurate the publication of a monthly bulletin, patterned after Municipal Facts, but devoted to an authoritative analysis of Colorado's varied advantages to the prospective settler and investor. The bulletin will be called "Colorado." Secretary Patek will arrange for a monthly distribution of from 4,000 to 6,000 copies of "Colorado" by means of the franking privilege possessed by the State Board of Agriculture. Work on Condensory Started. Johnstown.—Brick work on the new milk factory has begun and it is expected the plant will be ready for use by late fall. Farmers about here have purchased several hundred head of milk cows, as it will require 1,000 to furnish milk for the condensed milk factory. "Black Rot" in Beet Fields. Loveland.—A disease known as "black rot" has appeared in some of the beet fields in this vicinity, but does not cover much ground. A The new grandstand at the Inter-State Fair and Exposition grounds, Denver. —It is 100 feet longer than the one that burned recently, and seats several thousand more people. Governor Shafroth struck a key-note when he said: "That it is high time for the states west of the Missouri river to join hands and show to the world what they have done and what they expect to do ond to reveal to the world, the great possibilities of the future; that there is no better channel through which this might be accomplished than a Fair and Exposition devoted to the interests of these states." On September 3rd such an exposition will open in Denver and continue until September 17th. The association which has heretofore confined its efforts to Colorado and a few adjacent states until it has extended its scope to every state west of the Great Lakes. The management has spent a quarter of a million dollars in preparing the buildings and grounds for this year' event.

Molded His Chin. Concerning the young king 6f Spain it is sald that when he was a very small boy he was found one day by his attendants standing in front of Velasquez’s famous picture of Philip IV. of Spain. The young monarch looked long and carnestly at his an- cestor’s portrait, and then he said: “I will have a chin like that.” From this instant he set himself the task of daily molding his chin with his hands into the true Bourbon shape, with the result that today his like. ness to Philip {s singularly striking. , B@rotiusing pannatiein: The magnetism with which Prof. 8. | P.

It ae ee SUGGESTIVE FAREWELL GIFT Box of Correspondence Paper Is Con- sidered a Most Acceptable Present. A delicately suggestive as well as acceptable farewell present is a box of correspondence paper. For foreign use there are gray white sheets ac- companied by gray or metal blue tis- sue lined envelopes, pure white with envelopes lined with clan plaid and various colors with double faced en- velopes of a contrasting shade. Ultra smart are the pale gray djm- ity stationery haying envelopes lined with a darker shade of gray, the French lawn in pale tan and dull blue and the squares of white fabric which fold once into their casings. For quite small children there are special sizes in dimity and lawn sheets which fit into envelopes of from one and a half to two inches square. ‘The correct way of presenting a stationery gift 1s to place it in a cab- inet of cretonne, pigskin or silk, which emptied will answer perfectly for handkerchiefs, ribbons and gewgaws and will continually serve to remind the possessor of the donor. Madeira Embroidery. Madeira embroidery, which has be- come so fashfonable in handkerchiefs, low collars, jabots, lingerie and table and bureau sets, a8 well as in allover embroidered gowns and skirt and Jacket suits, is all made in the Ma- deira islands, off the western shore of Africa, opposite Morocco. Funchal, the only town of any size, 1s the port of exportation. ‘The native workers who produce this exquisite embroidery are paid from ten to seventy-five cents a day for their labor, the former wage being much nearer the average. Men, wom- en and children work together, sitting on the grass outside their thatch- roofed huts. Thread, material and the modern patterns are all supplied to the local houses near Funchal by French and German designers, these two countries belng the markets for the world of this Madeira work. hhate der Gurmant. “When I have a dress to make over,” said the practical woman, “I always rip {t completely, clean and press {t, and put it away for two sea- ®ons.
