Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Soon new quarters were established on Larimer street near Fifteenth, and in 1869, a still larger store, at 390 Larimer street, under the name of W. B. Daniels & Co., became necessary. In 1872, the firm became, Daniels, Fisher & Company, by the admission of Mr. W. G. Fisher, and in 1875 it was limited to Daniels & Fisher, when the site at Sixteenth and Lawrence streets, where the present store is located, was purchased. Then the business began to expand, apace with the rapid development of the town, and, in some respects, leading and inspiring the young city's faith in its future. The splendid genius of the founders of the firm has kept it always on the upward grade, unmatched by ambitious rivals and undaunted by the keenest competition, until today it stands the recognized monarch of mercantile enterprise throughout a contiguous territory greater than that covered by any other similar enterprise in the entire country. Time's toll has changed the personnel of the firm. Mr. W. C. Daniels, son of the founder, assumed the business management in 1897, and became practically the sole owner in 1900, when the Daniels & Fisher Stores Company was incorporated. To his genius for improvement was due the introduction of many modern innovations which became standards for the great department store service. Now we have a gigantic and magnificent establishment, with nearly one thousand employees, a number of whom are colored, the liberal principles of the firm in this respect always having been manifest, and among this great corps of employees, there are special organizations, institutions and available facilities and accommodations of a highly beneficial nature, all of which form a part of the intricate and complete policy of the general establishment. Thus each member of this small army is made to feel a personal interest in his service to the public through his service to the store. The various departments of this great enterprise are under the combined control of an exceptional corps of managers with Mr. Charles MacAllister Willeox, vice president of the company, as general manager, and Mr. Edward M. Cooke, second vice president, stock manager. Under Major Daniels, the head of the company, these gentlemen shape the entire policy of this wonderfully successful business, and Denver well knows how well they do it. We confess that we do not know how to offer any compliment that will add to their credit. will add to their credit. The preparation of all the advertising matter for this great business is in the hands of a wonderful woman—Mrs. E. C. Davies. Those peculiarly apt and direct ads that we see in the daily newspapers are written by her. They differ from others. Their natural, dignified, conservative tone reflects the reliability of the store itself. And thus all departments combine to establish and maintain that exclusive standard of excellence which the people of Denver and of all Colorado, by long experience, have come to attach to The Daniels and Fisher Stores Company. THE most marvelous thing in American social life is the growth of the cities of the West, and the most alluring part of the record of the wonderful growth of these magical municipalities is the history of the development of their great mercantile enterprises. Where stood a seanty group of miners' cabins sixty years ago, now flourish great modern municipalities, throbbing with the gigantic pulse of intricate business enterprise and seething traffic, glittering with the beauties of unrivalled architecture and civic embellishment and providing proud inhabitant and amazed traveler with all the luxuries, comforts, facilities, opportunities and privileges that any of the older cities of the world can offer. older cities of the world can offer. Among these municipal marvels of the West, Denver stands a queen, and chiefly adorning her business life and reflecting her whole development is the great mercantile institution which she recognizes as peerless and with a photograph of whose ample abode we are illustrating this article. Denver has numerous great stores, but only one pioneer leader, whose position in the forefront of an exceptional mercantile array has been maintained throughout nearly a half century of Denver's history. cantile array has been maintained throughout nearly a mile. What the Marshall Field stores are to Chicago, what the great Wanamaker stores are to Philadelphia, and what the gigantic A. T. Stewart enterprises long were to New York, the Daniels & Fisher Stores Company are to Denver. Company are to Denver. An unmatched reputation for excellence in fashion and fabric, in ware and utensil, in stock and garment, has followed this establishment since the day, in 1864, when its first stock of general merchandise completed its journey across the plains by ox-team from Fort Leavenworth, and was shelved in a little shop near Fifteenth and Blake streets, for the inspection of Denver's pioneer inhabitants. There was not a shoddy article in stock, but everything was well worth the price it brought; besides, it was tastefully displayed, and the business, though small, was at once put upon a plane of reliability and square dealing. That took with the Denver of 1864, when miner and plainsman knew that the new conditions made them somewhat subject to the exploitation of tradesmen who considered that they did well to assemble any fairly good stock at a point so far remote from the settled borders of civil law. ization. Mr. W. B. Daniels was the backer of that early enterprise, and Mr. W. R. Kenyon, his brother-in-law, was the manager in charge. The spirit and policies of 1864 have never lagged in this enterprise, and it could do nothing less than grow. VOL. XVII. THE DANIELS AND FISHER STORES CO. DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17 1910. RACE NEWS --- tion $20,000 outright for the erection of a church, with the provisions that the people would raise enough money to grade the ground and furnish the building. Already this amount has been subscribed. The building has been designed by leading architects of that city, and the work on the building will start as soon as the grading is over. All citizens there are loud in their praise of Mr. Smith's practical interest in the progress of the colored people. The warden of the State penitentiary of Columbus, Ohio, has appointed John Berry, a Negro forger from Cleveland, teacher of penmanship in the penitentiary night school. The school is made up of 400 prismors out of more than 1.400 who applied. The school is popular, since those who attend are not locked in their cells until two hours after the rest of the convicts. A few days ago John W. Thomas a Negro, planked down something like $10,000 cash for a piece of farming land south of Hutchinson. Thomas also closed a deal about the same time for the sale of a farm southwest of town for $15,000. Thirty years ago Thomas came to Kansas without a dollar and took odd jobs such as he could get. But unlike the majority of his people, he did not stay in the city, but sought the country and began farming. Today Thomas is worth not less than $50,000, owns a couple of farms and some city property, has a touring car and enjoys other luxuries of life. He has wrung every dollar of it from Kansas soil by hard work.—Hutchinson News. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 7.—Claiming to be the direct lineal descendants, who purchased valuable property in the heart of Brooklyn, N. Y. nearly 200 years ago, Mrs Jane Waller and Mrs. Sarah E Giles, sisters and residents of this city, are hopeful of being awarded an estate in that city valued at over $2,000,000. The original tract consisted of 120 acres. A part of this was sold some time ago to the Pennsylvania Railroad, that corporation depositing $500,000 while a search for the legal heirs was being made. Mrs Waller was in New York last week looking after her claim. Washington, Dec. 13.—President Taft's inlination to appoint William B. Lewis, a Negro lawyer of Boston, an assistant attorney general is meeting much opposition. Booker T. Washington called on Attorney General Wickersham today to urge it, and speaker Cannon called to oppose it. Speaker Cannon's opposition is not based The Catherine Street A. M. E. Zion Church, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., of which Revr A. L. Judd is pastor, one of the oldest colored churches in that section of New York, will soon have a new house of worship. Hon. W. W.

It is known that the place President Taft had in mind for Lewis was that of assistant attorney general in charge of the Indian depredation cases. John D. Thompson of Danville, Illinois, Speaker Cannon's home town, now holds that place and intends to resign as soon as his work is finished. GENERAL PALMER'S PROMISE TO NEGROES WILL BE KEPT Colorado Springs, Dec. 13.—A verbal promise, made by General William J. Palmer some time before his death, is to be sacredly kept by his executors, and the Negro population of the country will be the recipients of a beneficence that he planed but did not live to carry out. General Palmer decided, several years ago, to give a site for an institution for the care of superannuated Negro clergymen. There was a contingency that the Negroes should go ahead with their plans to build a home, and now, after a lapse of years, the plan is to be carried out. The Negroes are in a position to provide for the helpless ministers of their race, and negotiations are being conducted with the Palmer estate to give them the old Deaconess hospital. The new Deaconess hospital needs more ground which was originally intended as the site for the Negro home, and the Trustees of the Deaconess hospital have practically decided to deal over the old property to the Negroes in exchange for ground which General Palmer had promised to them. George H Krouse, the resident executor of the Palmer estate, is favorable to the idea, and only a few details remain before the exchange can be consummated.

Colorado Is Interested. Denver.—Colorado and other western states included in the jurisdiction of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Eighth District, are interested in the successor to be appointed in place of Judge Van Deyanter of Wyoming, elevated to the Supreme Bench. A number of the states have interests peculiar to themselves, which derive their importance from what might be termed local conditions, such as mining and irrigation. A lawyer not familiar with conditions cannot be expected to enter into the philosophy of such questions, even though he might be acquainted with the purely legal issues. A lawyer who knows from experience the problems of the West respecting irrigation and water rights and who is familiar with mining law and mining practice is an essential to maintain the equilibrium of the Circuit Court. The Circuit embraces the following states: Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. At present Minnesota, Wyoming, Kansas and Missouri are the states represented on the bench by the four judges. Monument to General Pike. Denver.-Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas announced that the question of providing a suitable monument to the explorer Zebulon M. Pike will be brought to the attention of the State Legislature at the coming session. It is proposed to mark the site of General Pike's old fort on the Conejos river with a suitable monument and to rebuild the old stockade. The active supporters of the 'plan are Judge Charles D. Hayt, Brigadier General Thomas and Luther A. Norland, county commissioner of Conejos county LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth Telling. Frank H.

TEN MINERS ARE ENTOMBED TRAINED GOVERNMENT RESCUE MEN ARE WORKING SEPARATELY. THERE IS STILL HOPE VICTIMS OF LEYDEN MINE DISASTER THOUGHT TO BE ALIVE. Denver.—Hope is entertained for the rescue of ten miners who were entrapped in the Leyden coal mine, fourteen miles northwest of Denver, when No. 2 shaft was destroyed by fire Wednesday night. The first rescue party which entered the mine hopes to reach the entrapped men and it is believed that the men will be found alive. Working under the direction of the government rescue crew which reached Leyden at 7:10 o'clock Thursday night, the first rescue party penetrated to the bottom of No. 1 shaft. Conditions found in the mine indicate that the miners will be found alive. The air is comparatively clear at the bottom of the shaft and as the rescuers are equipped with oxygen helmets they have thus far experienced no great danger and are sending very encouraging reports to the surface by means of a telephonic communication which has been established with the shaft bottom, 700 feet below the surface. At midnight, when a rescue crew returned to the surface after two hours underground, they reported that the fire was still burning near the bottom of the burned shaft. The men succeeded in penetrating 300 feet from the No.1 shaft. "The chances are bright for bringing up the men alive." This was the statement made at ten o'clock by the mine foreman, W. M. Lowry, following reports from the first exploring party of four men who, wearing oxygen helmets, went to the bottom of the No. 1 shaft, 700 feet deep, at nine o'clock and reported that the air for 300 feet was very good. They saw considerable smoke. The indications are that the rescuers will not be able to reach the entrapped men. At 10 p. m. the first rescue gang went down, equipped to stay two hours. They carried with them a telephone instrument, which is to be fixed at the shaft bottom to establish communication with the surface. As the rescuers penetrate into the mine, telephone lines will be extended. Three telephones will be established, with a helmet man at each instrument. At 11 o'clock the first telephone message was received from the bottom of the shaft, saying that the prospect was encouraging. As soon as the helmet men have been able to penetrate several hundred feet, the miners will be sent down to arrange a new system of ventilation by building brattices. In this way air will be forced into the workings and will be kept even with the progress of the rescuers. The United States mine rescue car left Trinidad at 9:30 Thursday morning and arrived at 7:10. The car was in charge of J. C. Roberts and his crew of assistants. With the car came three helmet men of the C. F. & I. and four from the Victor American mine near Trinidad. After two gangs of rescuers had been fitted with helmets and given fifteen minutes instruction in their use the first rescue crew of four men in charge of P. Stangier, boss timberman, was sent to the bottom of the shaft. Before their descent a code of signals was arranged and the men given instructions that they must not stay below more than fifteen minutes. The car descended at 9:05 p. m. and the men returned to the surface at 9:40. Until midnight a crowd of 200 miners remained near the mouth of the shaft. J. C. Roberts, in charge of the government rescue crew, is in full charge of the rescue work. The work is being proceeded with as rapidly as possible, every step in the rescue work, however, being carefully prepared before it is taken. Pension Bill Passes. Washington.—In the house of Congress the pension appropriation bill, carrying $153,614,000, was passed. No Hope for Uzzell. Denver.—There is no hope for recovery of Rev. Thomas A. Uzzell, pastor People's tabernacle, who lies ill at St. Luke's hospital. Baltimore.—"Willie" Hoppe, champion billard player of the world, and Miss Alice B. Walsh, daughter of Thomas F. Walsh of New York, were quietly married at the residence of Cardinal Gibbons, culminating a romance begun at Atlantic City several years ago. To Pay Chief Justice More.

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING Christmastide brings again to together in close sympathy, we need the secret spring which opens in the almost universal channels power among young and old manifest by the spirit of giving, benefit, bestowed without thought. Education is the joy that goes with it. It is an open-hearted expression and fraternity. These high treasures no account of the relations the need and the opportunity to redeemer was alike for said the sinner. So men give to the taught that the poor souls have prospered greater than they have someone else is less favored than favored or the rich—a good way in the giving. There are two for a smile and a wish for often a gift of rare value. A good will is the essence of the joy happy. While we are inclining feeling at home and among aanny to a sufferer is more than numerous natures begin to respiration or knowledge, we realize service given to men than the gift or the welfare of our fellow receive. The approach of Christmastide brings again to us the realization that the hearts of men beat together in close sympathy, when the influence of the divine precept has touched the secret spring which opens their portals. There is something wonderful in the almost universal character of that influence for we see evidence of its power among young and old, rich and poor, Gentile and Jew. It is made manifest by the spirit of giving. A gift is a magnanimous and voluntary benefit, bestowed without thought of obligation, or recompense. The chief consideration is the joy that goes with it and the pleasure that it brings in return. It is an open-hearted expression of good will and the desire for peace and fraternity. These high traits are exhibited most when the gift spirit takes no account of the relationship between individuals but remembers most the need and the opportunity to bestow a benefit. The gift to the world of a Redeemer was alike for saint and sinner, and the greatest benefit was to the sinner. So men give to the poor, the needy, the distressed, without thought that the poor souls have an indisputable claim upon those who have prospered greater than they have prospered. And who cannot imagine that someone else is less favored than he? But even the poor give to the better favored or the rich—a good deed, a simple, generous service—and are happy in the giving. There are none so poor that they cannot give something, for a smile and a wish for another's good fortune, or health or success, is often a gift of rare value. And the universal recognition of this spirit of good will is the essence of the gift spirit and the thing which makes the world happy. While we are inclined to begin the expression of our charitable feeling at home and among our kindred, every good heart knows that a penny to a sufferer is more than a rich bauble to one not in dire need. And when our generous natures begin to respond to the claims that come within our observation or knowledge, we realize that there is no higher privilege or happier service given to men than that of ministering to the relief or the betterment or the welfare of our fellow men. For it is more blessed to give than to receive. COLORED CORPORATIONS. colored men to\organize and tabition, and one which seems to the colored man's capacity for in which such corporate en- understood by all colored men, as it ought to be. The more upon the general inform- who direct them than upon the object to which they devote the takings are just as easy an THE ambition of colored men to organize and conduct corporate enterprises is a laudable ambition, and one which seems to be making substantial headway, in proof of the colored man's capacity for concentrated business effort; but the manner in which such corporate enterprises should be conducted is not as clearly understood by all colored men who make the effort, or by many who aid them, as it ought to be. The success of all efforts of this character depends more upon the general information and comprehensive ability of the men who direct them than upon the favorable nature and promising prospects of object to which they devote their efforts. The failure of these corporate undertakings are just as easy and just as certain as the failure of individual efforts, if they are not carefully, legally and intelligently conducted, and every such failure acts as a public discouragement, the effects of which are difficult to overcome. What was probably the most pretentious and best advertised corporate undertaking of colored men in the city of New York, and the company of largest real estate holdings, has just lost its biggest building, in which its principal offices were located, through its inability to pay a first mortgage and taxes, amounting to thirty thousand dollars. The complete collapse of the company, which has holdings and stockholders outside of New York, and which, it is said, had collected over four hundred thousand dollars during its existence, will probably follow. This company, in its earlier years, followed an illegal practice, which other colored corporations have been known to adopt, which consisted of paying dividends to stockholders out of the treasury receipts, regardless of the fact that the stock had not reached par value. Absolute ignorance of the financial liabilities of a corporate concern characterized this conduct, but it was followed as a heedless and blind endeavor to bring about a largely increased sale of stock, the directors and promoters not seeming to understand that they were practicing criminal deception. No stock company can legally pay dividends to its stockholders except out of its surplus funds, which represent its profits held in treasury over and above its liabilities. There can be no profits as long as there are unpaid mortgages or other liabilities outstanding which overbalance the clear holdings and treasury cash. The stock of new companies is sold merely on the strength of its prospects, and must necessarily bring a low price, the receipts therefrom being intended as a working capital, and stock does not reach its par value, or the value upon which dividends are intended to be declared, until the successes of the business, its clear holdings and future prospects, give it that value in the open market, without any fictitious procedure or other false manipulation on the part of the directorate or anybody else. Directors who declare and pay dividends to stockholders out of moneyys received from stockholders or from other sources subject to unpaid liabilities, are merely plunderers who running the corporation down hill to certain destruction. Men who have no capacity for the financial affairs and no conception of the legal details of business should not undertake to conduct corporate enterprises. They run great enough risk with their own personal affairs. But men who, in their own affairs, show keen business perception with powers to negotiate and promote profitable business combinations and commercial or industrial deals, who have reputations for honesty and sense enough to seek legal advice upon important and difficult matters concerning proposed procedure, should be trusted and encouraged to lead the larger efforts which are to be consummated through corporate enterprises.

Lawyer Townsend defended Trusty during his trial, which was a celebrated case, and the first criminal trial in the new court house at the Springs. Since Trusty's imprisonment Lawyer Townsend has worked incessantly to have him liberated, he believing that the evidence which was circumstantial, was not sufficient under the law to warrant Trusty's conviction.

The Army ‘of Tennessee was in Virginia, watch: ing closely every move on the great chess board of strategy. Sergt. Mont- gomery and a few men were ordered to guard a certain marrow pass through the mountains. Orders were strict to permit no one to pass no matter what the errand, The tension was high; sples were everywhere, Not far from the picket post was a small house, part log and part frame. ‘There lived a young wife and two Iit- tle girls, The husband had joined the Confederate army. The wife was left with two cows and some potatoes and corn Bhe or her little girls brought the Union soldiers milk and butter; some- times a few eggs. ‘The names of the girls were Mary and Susie, They said they liked sol- diers; that their papa was one, and that they knew he would be glad to see these soldier friends of theirs if he could only get off, but he was so ‘busy somewhere shooting at the Yan- kees that they wouldn't let him leave. ‘One day as the month was drawing to 4 close Susie, the smaller of the two, asked the sergeant why they were always looking up and down the pass 0 close. *T9 see if anybody's coming, little one,” said the grizzled officer, “our orders are to shoot any man who at tempts to go by here.” Instantly Susie laid her head on her sister's shoulder and cried as if her heart would break. The big sergeant ‘was very much embarrassed; he saw he had put his foot in {t, but couldn't understand just how. “There, there, girlie,” he said, “don't you cry, we ain't going to shoot any of your people.” “1 know you ain't,” said “sie, try: ing to dry her eyes, “but we been a- ie Zoos Arnot ny NITRO Gee.

Two days later he rode down the valley to the army headquarters and sought out the quartermaster. “I want two blankets,” he said, “big ‘ones, and warm; 40 pounds of coffee, a case of sweet crackers, and some ginger snaps if you got ‘em, and some sugar, and—let me see—got any can: ned goods, pears and peaches and the Itke o' that?” ‘The day before Christmas was clear and bright. The troopers were walk- ing about their campfire, their guns ‘stacked, but within easy reach. The “sergeant was not there. Pretty soon “the ttle girls came out from the “cabin, hand in hand. They had hard ly reached the camp when the cap tain of the guard suddenly straight ened up. “Halt!” he eried, “who comes here?" ‘The soldiers sprang for their guns and stood across the trail. Climbing down a hill bordering the trail was a man with a long white beard and a fur cap. He was laden with parcels Susie saw him, and uttering a glad cry ran to him and stood between Santa Claus and the soldiers. “You sha'n't shoot him,” she shout: et; “you sha'n't shoot Santa Claus!” ‘The soldiers grounded arms and laughed until they couldn't laugh any more. Just then there was a sound of a horse's hoofs on the rocky trail. It was an unusual thing. there was no Joke this time. The soldiers straight ened up, ready for action. Santa Claus dropped his parcels and gripped his revolver, In a moment the rider was among them, It was a high officer in the Federal army, and he glared about in angry surprise. “What means all this buffoonery?” he growled, his keen eyes boring through Santa Claus. Santa Claus, entirely unabashed, told the story, omitting nothing. He said the father of the little girls was in the Confederate army and they and their mother were alone in the moun tains; that the winter had come on them unprepared, and he had ordered the quartermaster to get together some things to tide them over Christ. mas. ‘The gold braided officer looked into the fearless eyes of the sergeant, the men standing respectfully about him, and then at the half-clad Mttle girls and their blue hands and lps. “It’s all right, boys,” he said, “en: tirely all right. I got a couple o° lit tle chaps o' my own back in the hills of Kentucky, and I hope the good Lord will raise up friends for 'em same ‘as you folks have been to these. Good: by!” ‘Then he rode on down the trail. That night the Yankees and the lit tle family of the Confederate soldier had a Christmas dinner in a cozy ttle mountain cabin. | THE Famous : re cayc i ro Lamp L \"\/ er cae Pay od ey : a — The Rayo Lamp is a high grade lamp, sold at a low price.

Examples of the Frocks Worn by Smart Women in London This Season. London's smart women have always worn very decollete gowns, but this year they have excelled all previous records. The newest evening frocks are practically without backs, so narrow is the line of bodice seen at each side. A favorite style is a deep V-shaped opening, the print of the V not finishing till it reaches the waist. Another style is to have the corsage cut U-shaped. This also displays a minimum of bodice and a maximum of back With these gowns the decolletage in front is proportionately low, and in many cases not a vestige of sleeve is to be seen. As gloves are very often discarded the result is a decidedly undressed appearance, and when you have also a skirt of tight and flimsy material with a satin underskirt some six or eight inches shorter than the chiffon overdress the effect is of audacity. A frock worn by a duchess at a reception lately was of blue charmeuse with a tunic of mousseline in a paler shade. The decolletage edged with a dark fur was cut in a novel way. The square line across the front and back was continued over the arms and slanting down into a deep point formed the upper parts of the sleeve, the under parts being formed of blue mousseline. The shoulders and the greater part of the arms were thus left here. How the dress was kept in its proper position was a mystery. HOW TO LAUNDER FRILLS Row of Basting Stitches Will Hold Plaits in Position While Washing. Before putting in the laundry the one-side plaited frills and frilled collars which are so pretty and popular and yet so hard to "do up," run a row of basting stitches about an inch from the outer edge. That will hold the plaits in position while washing and will save time and trouble later in ironing. This is especially true if you are not the proud possessor of a patient plaiting iron. These frills, by the way, should, when possible, be made separate from the blouse and buttoned, hooked or pinned on, so that they do not have to go often to the tub. They really do not get dirty so quickly as the more exposed parts of the blouse, and they are a great nulsance usually to wash and iron, even with the precaution mentioned. If you buy a ready-made blouse with frills stitched on, it is an easy matter to rip them off and supply buttons and buttonholes. When making up a pillow which you have embroidered, introduce a thick sheet of cotton wadding under the cover. Both the appearance and the "feel" of the cushion are improved by this treatment. The same thing applies, of course, to heavy pillows of all sorts, embroidered or otherwise. London's New Fancy in Color is Used for Whole Garments and for Trimming. Japanese red is the latest color in vogue in London and a touch of it is used in almost all articles of women's dress. It is a dull shade of red and is more effective when used in trimming than in a whole garment. Coats of it and a few gowns have been seen, but for the most part it has made its appearance on black hats, as piping for dresses, or in some of the oriental embroideries on evening gowns. Fur muffs and stoles are often lined with it, and some of these are piped with the new color or have bands of it inset. For London the Japanese red is distinctly appropriate in the dull days of winter, as it makes a bright spot of color in the midst of the gray atmosphere. - Made of king's blue velvet and lined with white satin.
