E. E. VAUGH. ODD FELLOWS TO PAY FOR MORE SOFT SNAPS. Washington. D. C., Jan. 31.—The men who are in control of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and who kept themselves in power last fall in Baltimore by ignoring the will of the majority, have now found another way to lavishly spend the money of the society. The Morris-Houston faction got together and decided to create a Supreme Court. Ben Davis was made chief justice for a term of four years at a salary of $700 a year. W. L. Houston was elected associate justice for eight years at a $600 salary. William Morris, a brother of Edward Morris, was also made associate justice at $600 a year, but his term is for only two years. It is said that William Morris will be succeeded in two years by Edward Morris, who will then retire as Grand Master of the order, and become elevated to the position of chief justice. Ben Davis is slated to succeed Morris as Grand Master—that is, if there is not big revolt and the old machine turned out. Harry Cummings is now attorney general at a $500 a year salary, which is said to be the reward for his services rendered at Baltimore last September. "Link" Johnson will be made an associate justice when Ben Davis is elected Grand Master—that is, if he is elected. Although the plan to provide sinecures for several of the "big guns" was carried out, yet several unpleasantries were exchanged. Ben Davis and "Link" Johnson ran the board and were opposed to almost every point made by Morris and Needham. Houston and Morris, who have now fallen out, could hardly conceal their enmity toward each other. Houston is now back in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11 1911. Washington. Morris having withdrawn his support from him. Rumor has it that shortly before leaving Chicago a stag was given in Houston's honor, Morris was not present.

Asbury. The publication has been made smaller, having been reduced from eight to four pages. The auditor who was hired to look into the affairs of the paper found that the order owed J. C. Asbury $190.85, which has been paid.—New York Age. TEACHERS MEET AT TUSKEGEE TEACHERS MEET AT TUSKEGEE Special to Colorado Statesman.

Part of report of special Senate committee: Regarding the Arkansas valley water question and the suit pending in the Federal Court, involving over again, it is said, the old Kansas-Colorado controversy, the committee recommends that the attorney general should appear on behalf of the state and that the General Assembly appropriate sufficient funds for expert employment. The report favors a dedication of power sites to the state on the best terms possible from the federal government. The state land board is censured for its refusal to aid in the work of irrigating public lands. Although Gov. Shafroth recommended the appointment of a committee to revise and codify the laws relative to water supply, the committee advises against this. Eight-Hour Day. The Hurd bill, providing an eighth hour workday for all employees of underground workings, stamp and concentrating mills, rod mills, and workmen in employment of like character, was favorably reported and was ordered placed on the calendar for third reading. Weld Wants Better Roads. Weld county citizens are determined to have better roads and as a result of the recent agitation a bill will be introduced in the Legislature providing for creation of road districts on a petition of 20 per cent of the land owners. To Increase Governor's Salary. An increase in the salaries of the governor and the judges of the Supreme and District Courts is proposed in a bill for a constitutional amendment, introduced by Representative Gaines M. Allen. The bill provides that the salary of the governor and Supreme Court judges shall be increased from $5,000 to $8,000, and those of the district judges from $4,000 to $6,000. Monument To Ex-Gov. Gilpin. Committees from the Denver G. A. R. and the Sons of Colorado are at work designing a bill for presentation to the state Legislature, calling for an appropriation for the purpose of erecting a suitable monument to former Gov. William Gilpin. Representative Allen introduced a measure to remedy defects in the existing jury system, proposing the creation of a jury commission. Representative Newton presented a bill to establish a school of horticulture and forestry at the Grand Junction Indian school in Mesa county. The state highway commission has the support of the Denver commercial organizations in its effort to secure a legislative appropriation of $100,000. There has been nothing accomplished in the way of electing a United States Senator to succeed the late Chas. J. Hughes. Vehicles must go softly over the public highways of the state of Colorado if a bill, introduced in the House by Representatives Sterling and Cawlfield, is made a law. The necessary detailed machinery for putting in operation the initiative and referendum is incorporated in a bill introduced in the House by Representative O. C. Skinner. Mr. Slattery presented a bill providing for an appropriation of $2,000 for defraying the expenses incident to the issue, sale and exchange of the funding bonds series of 1910. A bill carrying an appropriation of $20,000 for the purpose of encouraging the destruction of predatory wild animals, was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Mann. An appropriation of $415,000 from the "capitol building fund" for the completion of the Colorado State museum in Denver is asked for in a bill introduced by Representative J. H. Slattery. Another bill for a corrupt practices act was introduced by Representative A. P. Ardourel. The bill would make the taking or giving of a bribe in campaigns and elections a felony and provides a penalty of imprisonment. Proper gauging of the streams of the state to determine the amount of water actually available for appropriation, is contemplated in three bills presented by Senator Carpenter of Weld county. A bill to create the county of Holt was introduced by Representative Homer. The county would be formed from sections of Elbert and El Faso counties, with Ramah as the county seat. The movement to establish a park in the foothills for Denver is supported in a bill introduced by Mrs. Alma V. Lafferty. A bill which is designed to take the election of the judiciary in the state of Colorado out of politics, was introduced in the House by Representative B. L. Van Vechten. Representative Hurd of Boulder introduced a bill providing for the better inspection of coal mines and making an appropriation for this work and the establishment of six mine rescue stations throughout the state. CAKES FOR AFTERNOON TEA Recipes for the Making of Several Varletles of These Confections Needed in Entertaining. The hostess who likes novel little cakes for afternoon tea will find these palatable. A sort of sweet biscuit shaped like a lady finger is made from the well-beaten whites of three eggs into which is beaten almost half a pound of confectioner's sugar. Add four ounces of melted butter, and stir in quickly at the last four ounces of pastry flour. Put this paste into a pastry bag and force through a tube on well buttered baking sheets. Form finger shapes not too close together as they spread and bake in a moderate oven until a delicate brown. For an almond cake beat to a cream three ounces of butter and half a pound of soft A sugar, then add gradually a half pint of milk and enough flour to make a light dough. Stir in a quarter of a pound of blanched and minced almonds lightly floured. Put on a floured board, roll about a quarter of an inch thick and cut into diamonds and squares. Almond macaroons are made by beating the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, then stirring in half a pound of confectioner's sugar and the strained juice of half a lemon, and last half a pound of ground almonds. Put paper on a flat baking sheet, drop the mixture on by teaspoonfuls and bake in a quick oven until a light brown. Little German caraway cakes are made by mixing two cups of flour, a cup of butter, a cup and a half of sugar, four eggs, two teaspoonfuls of rose water and half a cup of caraway seed. Drop on baking sheet and bake in a slow oven from 20 minutes to half an hour. PREPARATION OF POTATOES Before Baking a Lengthwise Strip Should Be Pared—After Boiling Shake in the Wind. When preparing potatoes for baking cut one paring around the largest side of the potato lengthwise, and when baked the skin will slip off from each side nicely. After boiling potatoes pour off all water, take kettle of potatoes to the back door, or wherever the wind will blow on them, and shake several times, and they will be white and mealy. A fine potato soup: Take three medium sized potatoes, one plint milk, one teaspoonful chopped onion, one stalk celery, one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful celery salt, one-half salt-spoonful white pepper, one-fourth salt-spoon cayenne, one-half tablespoonful flour, one tablespoonful butter. Cook potatoes until very soft, drain off the water, and mash them. Cook onion and celery with the milk in double boiler and add to the potatoes. Add the seasoning. Rub through a strainer; put on to boil again. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, blend it with the flour, and stir it into the boiling soup. Let it boll five minutes and serve very hot. An easily prepared potato salad: Slice six cold boiled potatoes and two onions. For dressing, one-half cupful vinegar, one cupful of sweet cream whipped, one teaspoonful dry mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and at last add four hard boiled eggs. New Way to Cook Cabbage. Trim a medium sized head of cabbage, cut in half and cook in cold water. Let it boil fifteen minutes, then pour off the water and refill with boiling water. Boil twenty minutes longer, then take the cabbage from the water, draining it dry. Chop fine, season with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. Beat together two fresh eggs and four spoonfuls of sweet cream; add them to the seasoned cabbage and stir all together. Butter a pudding dish, and put the cabbage in and bake in a well heated oven twenty minutes, or until it is browned over the top. Delicious Gingerbread. One cup granulated sugar. Add two tablespoons of molasses, four of melted butter, one even teaspoon of salt, one dessertspoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of mixed spices. Stir and rub well together, then add one beaten egg and one cup of sour milk (real sour). Then sift one even teaspoon of soda with two cups of flour, sift it into the other mixture and beat about two minutes. Then turn it into a nine-inch square tin, one and a half inches deep, sprinkle sugar over the top and bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Cream Puffs. One cup boiling water, one-half cup butter, one cup of flour, four eggs. Put the hot water and butter together, let it boil up, add all the flour at a time, strir briskly until it bails up from the dish, let cool, add four eggs one at a time, work with the hands and bake in slow oven about 40 minutes. Cream for Puffs—Pint of milk, small cup of sugar, small half cup of flour, two eggs. Mix the flour and sugar dry, add it to the boiling milk, let it boil five minutes, then add eggs and boil a few minutes. Custard Ple. Two cups of sugar, one cup of new milk, three-fourths cup of melted butter, two tablespoons of flour, yolks of five eggs, any desired flavoring. Shr flour in sugar, add milk, then well beaten yolks, then butter and flavoring. Whip whites of eggs stiff, add five tablespoons of sugar for meringue. PUBLISHER OF HAMPTON'S MAGA ZINE RETRACTS ACCUSATION AGAINST STANDARD. ARTICLE CAUSED LIBEL SUIT Hampton's and Moffett Declare Upon Investigation Oil Company Is Not Connected With Sale of New York.—In the matter of the libel suits brought by the Standard Oil company for $250,000 damages against Hampton's Magazine and for $100,000 damages against Cleveland Moffett, the former the publisher, and the latter the writer, of an article in the February issue of the magazine which defamed the company in connection with the sale of glucose and candy in Philadelphia, the following retractions have been signed in the office of Shearman & Sterling, the Standard Oil company's lawyers in the case, and have been issued from the company's offices at No. 26 Broadway: "Hampton's Magazine, 66 West Thirty-fifth St., New York, "Jan. 31, 1911. "Standard Oil Company, 26 Broadway, New York "Dear Sirs: In the February issue of Hampton's Magazine there was published an article written by me, entitled, 'Cassidy and the Food Poisoners.' In that article I referred to the investigation of Mr. Cassidy, with respect to the manufacture and sale of impure candies in Philadelphia, and made the statement that your company manufactured and sold impure material which went into these candies and that, when the various dealers were arrested and fined, at the instance of Mr. Cassidy, your company paid the fines. "Upon investigation I have ascertained that your company was in no way concerned with the transactions referred to and I hasten to retract in the fullest manner all charges made against your company and to express my sincere regret that I should have fallen into this serious error.

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY Danville Judge Orders Prosecutor to Answer All Questions Put by Jury in Bribe Quiz. Danville, Ill.—Judge Kimbrough in the circuit court handed down a decision in the case of City Attorney Jones, who declined to answer certain questions regarding vote selling and buying which the grand jury put to him. The court instructed Jones to answer all questions. The opinion stated that, according to a decision of the Supreme court of the United States, a witness before the grand jury is immune from indictment. The court also held that the city election law is unconstitutional, which means that Jones cannot be questioned about happenings more than eighteen months ago. This means that the investigation will continue until all the witnesses now summoned are examined. It is said that many indictments have been voted, but whether they are for vote selling is not known. VOLCANO'S TOLL IS 700 Five Thousand Families in Philippines Have Been Wholly Ruined By Disaster. Washington.—The eruption of Taal volcano and the accompanying disturbances in the Philippines killed 700 people in the town of Talsay, according to the report of the governor of Batangas province, which was cabled to the war department by Governor General Forbes of the Philippine Islands. The earthquake shocks continue, the governor general added. Five thousand families have been ruined by the disaster. The Philippine authorities are face to face with the absolute necessity of adopting relief measures in order to avoid suffering, as the falling mud and lava destroyed the crops within a considerable radius of the volcano. DECIES HONEYMOON IN EGYPT Vivien Gould, After Wedding to English Lord, Will Take Trip to Africa. New York. — It is announced that Lord and Lady Decies, the latter now Miss Vivien Gould, who are to be married February 7, will spend their honeymoon in Egypt. They will leave America February 18 by the Cunard liner Carmania. In Egypt they will spend a few days in Cairo and then visit notable points in upper Egypt THREATENS EXTRA SESSION IF CANADIAN MATTER IS NOT SETTLED NOW. BRITONS ARE UNEASY BOTH PARTIES FEAR TO AROUSE RESENTMENT IN THE DOMINION. Washington.—If administration senators had any doubt about the attitude of President Taft toward the Canadian reciprocity agreement it was removed when Senators Crane and Carter returned to the Capitol from a conference with the President at the White House. The message which these senators brought to their colleagues was that there must be a vote on the agreement at the present session or Congress will be called back in extra session almost immediately after adjournment March 4th. The only doubt appears whether senators radically opposed to its enactment will be able by obstructive tactics to prevent its adoption by the Senate. The President apparently entertains no such doubt. The reciprocity matter has moved into the foremost place in the legislative purview and the President shows every disposition to keep it there if he can. It is said upon excellent authority that Mr. Taft believes the present Congress will act favorably in both houses upon the agreement and that there will be no necessity for an extra session. Every indication now forecasts its adoption by the House by an overwhelming majority. Although Senators Crane and Carter declined to discuss their mission to the White House, the report soon leaked out that the President was insistent on a vote. It is said he made plain his belief that the country generally favored the adoption of a reciprocal treaty agreement with Canada; that the bill to put the agreement into force will pass the House with a large majority and that the Senate would enact the measure if given an opportunity to vote on it. The rules of the Senate, which permit ultrammeled discussion of a measure, are the principal barriers to a vote in that body. It is known that Senators Heyburn and Bailey are bitterly opposed to the agreement and that the opposition extends also to most of the progressive Republicans. Some of these senators have hinted that their relations with the White House have not been sufficiently pleasant of late to cause them to exert themselves in support of an administration measure. London.—There was a lively discussion over the proposed reciprocity agreement between Canada and the United States. Members of both leading parties showed fear of saying something which would offend Canada and one speaker invoked the specter of annexation of the great colony by the Yankees. The colonial secretary said there was no reason to believe Canada wanted to submit the question to other colonies for decision. Former Chancellor Austen Chamberlain declared ratification of the agreement would mean an increase in food prices in England. He said the United States would be the greatest gainer. Aid for Chinese Famine. Washington.—To carry out the intent of Congress and furnish a cargo for the army transport which has been authorized to carry supplies from this country to China for the relief of the sufferers from the terrible famine now prevailing there, the Red Cross has issued a stirring appeal to the public for contributions. The Red Cross is co-operating with the Seattle Commercial Club in this work. It is announced that flour, rice, wheat, dried fish and meat are the most suitable foods to forward. Cheap cotton cloth and cotton wadding for quilted garments are also acceptable. 5.000 Coke Ovens at Work. Uniontown, Pa.—More than 1,100 coke ovens have been fired in the Klondyke and Connellsville coke regions, making a total of 5,000 in operation. Savannah, Ga.-Charles H. Markham of Chicago, president of the Illinois Central, was elected president of the Central of Georgia. Ten Shopmen Killed. Smithville, Tex.—Ten shop employees of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail road were torn to fragments and ten others were injured when an engine under repair exploded in the Smithville yards.

The gift of a hospital site to the colored people of Colorado Springs by the resident executor of the estate of the late General William J. Palmer, in accordance with the provisions of the will of the latter, is worthy of more than passing notice, for it sets an example to the wealthy men and women of Colorado, whose ideas of philanthropy do not appear to have been broadened to the extent manifested by many individuals of wealth in other sections of the country Our rich men are generous enough along the lines which appear to them to be urgent and practical, but the Western idea of self-dependence has not yet learned to give sufficient ear to the silent plea of those blameless, yet helpless, conditions that burden the struggling colored people, here as well as elsewhere, notwithstanding the wider opportunities which the West is supposed to afford them. These rich men perhaps have all heard and responded to the solicitations of the church builder and the individual in want, and in many ways have shown their sympathy for the colored people as poor and deserving citizens, but they have not understood nor felt any moral obligation to seek to relieve those greater needs which attach to the general social uplift of an element handicapped by inherited custom and nature, with the ills of unrestrained profligacy and undeveloped ideas of social economy. The success and independence of individual colored people cannot overcome the peculiar conditions which render the colored community, as a whole, deserving of the sympathy and help of those blessed with great wealth, and who would see their home cities made happier. In the cities of the East and North, and in many of the South, the various charitable institutions established for colored people and endowed by big-hearted philanthropists, afford satisfying evidence of the deep discernment and Christian spirit of white men and women of wealth, whose generous gifts have inspired and perpetuated better and higher ideas of life among whole communities of unfortunate people. The rich men and women of Colorado will do the same thing some day, when they come to realize the extent of the blessing they can bestow by a discreet apportionment of their charitable gifts so that none of the very deserving of God's poor shall be forgotten. General Palmer had a true notion of charity as it should be applied to the benefit of his home community, and God's blessing will make his a fruitful and wise example. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE THAT "the voice of the people is the voice of God" is an ancient and well accepted proverb which should scarcely admit of room for doubt at this late day, we are ready to own, but facts are so contradicted by strange conditions constantly arising in the United States that we are often puzzled to decide what may and what may not be taken with confidence to constitute the voice of the people, or really what people may be supposed to have any voice in summing up and giving expression to the divine will. Perhaps the compelling influence of Southern statesmen has secured an amendment to this section of the Constitution of Heaven, so that for the United States the adage is to be interpreted to mean that the voice of the white people is the voice of God, for certainly the voice of the black people seems to exert little influence in the shaping of affairs in which all the people are supposed to take an interest, and especially those affairs wherein the interest of the black people places them above the possibility of respectable division. When the white people are divided among themselves upon the aims and policies to be adopted as the true and destined course of the nation, we sometimes hope that the expression of our solid opinion and well-grounded interest will have some effect upon the decision of the whole people, but with the exception, it seems, our voice is drowned in the roar of the sanctified who have assumed closer relations with the Throne of Grace. Now a greater proposition, more vitally affecting our interests, is before the Senate of the United States. It involves our constitutional right to vote, and the power of a state to deny this privilege is included in a resolution providing for the election of Senators by popular vote. Our keen and undoubted interest in this matter is not being considered as a service due us. Only the sacrifice of national authority and the political interests of white men disturb the souls of our national legislators, and the great moral crime of robbing eleven millions of citizens of the just protection of the fundamental provisions of a representative government arouses no shame in the hearts of men who profess to believe that all men are created free and equal and that God speaks through them directing the destinies of the world. TOTAL number of patents approximating 6,500 have been issued directly to women. Of these a bare dozen would come under the caption of "freak" inventions, and there is not a single product of the perpetual motion crank. Dearth of whimsicalities show that practicability is a characteristic of the woman inventor. Harriet Hosmer, famed as a sculptor, has invented the permanent magnet as a motive power. This is used in lifting large masses of metal. She also has discovered a method of transmuting limestone into marble. A process of producing artificial marble was invented by Mme. Dutillet. Mme. Poppova has invented a rudderless airship which competent authorities pronounce a success. It has been called the "annulated dragon" from its peculiar construction. Mme. De Condray was the inventor of the manikin, useful in the teaching of anatomy. The familiar ice-cream freezer was patented in 1843 by Mrs. Nancy M. Johnson. The model in the patent office shows that it has remained practically unchanged. Jeanette Powers invented the aquarium, and the Coston light so useful in maritime signaling at night, is named from its inventor, a Washington woman. Lady Amherst's patent spring collapsible muff has had quite a vogue among the ultra fashionables. Miss Madeline Edison, who assists her famous father in his laboratory, has invented and marketed an automobile map. Mary E. Walton's noise deadener, adaptable to elevated railways, and her smoke consumer, are both successful. The apiarist is indebted to Frances Dunham for the comb foundation for her bee hives, which so increases the saccharine crop. The essential feature of this invention is that all the cells are "worker" size. Sally Rosenthal's pocket sewing machine; Betsy J. Martin's asbestos suit; and Augusta Roger's engine, that dumps its clinkers from the rear on to the track; Maggie Knight's device for making satchel bottom bags, and the Burden horseshoe machine shows a wide divergence in creative ideas. But they are all practicable. Syllabic types, a slate and also a typewriter for the blind, a process for concentrating ores, a machine for producing ozone, a car coupler and a car wheel, contrivance for heating cars, a beehive, the self-fastening button, a collapsible collar button, a life raft, a machine for making folding bags, and underglaze painting on pottery, are a few of the inventions credited to women, each of which has contributed its mite to the progress of the race. The honor of a few epoch-making inventions has been conferred wrongly on men, if certain historians be correct. Notably is this true of the cotton gin. These dissenters say that the honor of that great discovery really belongs to Mrs. Catherine Greene, widow of Gen. Nathaniel Greene of revolutionary fame. They say that dread of the world's adverse comment and consequent loss of social caste induced her to assume the name of Mrs. Miller, which was used in connection with the patent. These same historians say that in 1817 Mrs. Ann H. Manning perfected a mower and reaper, thus anticipating McCormick's and Hussey's inventions by 17 years. P The first bull fight I saw in Mexico was a disgusting sight. How any nation can sanction it is beyond me. The poor skinny horses forced into the one-sided battle constitute one argument against the sport, even if there were no other. On a Sunday afternoon everyone goes to the fight, just as many in this country go to the ball game. But give me the ball game every time. The native peon is at the fight, putting up possibly his last cent to see it and yell himself hoarse. I have seen men throw their hats into the arena and go crazy as any baseball fan when the horses, men and bull go into a heap and there is a chance of blood's being spilled. I went to a fight to satisfy myself as to actual conditions and to see if there was any chance for the dumb brutes, and was convinced that it is purely a one-sided affair. The bull has no chance, and it seems to realize its predicament in a short time and tries to escape its tormentors. I saw one in his agony jump clear over the inner wall of the arena, showing plainly that he did not want to fight. The horse, old and worn out from work and abuse, blindfolded on one eye only, the one nearest the bull, is the worst sufferer of them all. He is compelled to carry his rider as long as he can stand up, after being gored by the maddened bull, and if not injured mortally is reserved to be sent in again at some future date. As to the men, they have shields to run behind when the bull gets too dangerous. When there they are just as safe as those in the bleachers. They stay there, too, until some other fellow attracts the bull to some other part of the ring, then bravely walk out again to help some one else out of the same predicament. Great sport! And you see some of our women from the states attending regularly, enjoying it with as much zest and laughter as the native, making heroes of the performers! Compel Removal of Woman's Hats in Church By ROY DALEY A wear them Praised for Great Many Useful Articles By JOHN D. WHITE The first bull fight I saw in Mexico was a disgusting sight.

The hats not only obstruct the view of the preacher and good-looking singers, but prevent the sound of the voice from reaching the persons behind them.

THE WHITE MAN (By Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in the Cosmopolitan.) Wherever the white man's feet have trod have trod, (Oh, far does the white man stray) A bold road rifles the virginal sod, And the forest wakes out of its dream of God, To yield him the right of way. For this is the law: By the power of thought For worse, or for better, are miracles wrought. Wherever the white man's pathway leads, (Far, far, has that pathway gone) The earth is littered with broken creeds, And always the dark man's tent recedes, And the white man pushes on. For this is the law: Be it good or ill, All things must yield to the stronger will. Wherever the white man's light is obed. shed, (Oh, far has that light been thrown) Though nature has suffered, and beauty fled, The goal of the race has been thrust ahead And the might of the race has grown. For this is the law: Be it cruel or kind. The universe sways to the power of mind. KEEP OFF THE DATE.

Yet, although this was the subject of jests at his expense, no one thought any the less of him for it. ‘This homeliness—call it ug- liness if you will—ot his face, the awkwardness of his form, and the ungainliness of his gestures and altitudes seemed to the people to go natu- rally with bis goodness of heart and the simplic- {ty of his nature. In their eyes when advocating the cause of the ‘oppressed and when opposing the forces which would destroy the nation he became to many pos- Stively handsome. As years afterward one old man “who knowed” him sald: “Lots of ‘em will tell you ho was homely. Seems to me that’s about all some folks around here has to tell about Abraham Lincoln. ‘Yes, I nowed him,’ they say. ‘He was the homeliest man in Sangamon county,’ Well, now, don’t you make no mistake. The folks that don’t tell you nuthin’ but that never knowed Mr. Lincoln. Meb- be they'd seen him, but they never knowed him. He wa'n't homely. There's no denyin’ he was long and lean, and he didn’t always stand straight, and he wasn't pertikeler about his ‘clothes, but {hat njght up to Bloomington fn ten minutes after he struck the platform, I tell you he was the handsomest man I ever see.” ‘The month after his first election the publica- tion Once a Week in London printed the follow- ing personal sketch of Lincoln: “Abraham Lincoln is a gaunt glant more than ix feet high, strong and long limbed. He walks slow, and, lke many thoughtful men (Wordsworth and Napoleon, for example), keeps his head inclined forward-and downward. His hair ts wiry black, his eyes are dark gray, his smile is frank, sin- cere and winning, Like most American gentle- men, he Is loose and careless in dress, turns down his flapping white collars, and wears habitually what we consider evening dress. His head is masstve, his brow full and wide, his nose large and fleshy, his mouth coarse and full; his eyes are stinken, his bronzed face 1s thin and drawn down into strong corded Ines, that disclose the machinery that moves the broad jaw. This great loader of the ‘Republican’ party—this abolitionist —this terror of the ‘Democrats’—thls honest old lawyer, with face half-Roman, half-Indian, £0 wasted by climate, so scarred by a Ife's struggle, ‘was born in 1809 in Kentucky, Mls grandfather, who came from Virginia, was killed by the Ind!- fans, His father died young, leaving a widow and several children. They removed to Indiana, Abe being at the time only six years old, Poor and struggling, bis mother could only afford him some etglit months’ rough schooltzg; and in the clear- ings of that new and unsettled country the hhealtny stripling went to work to hew hickory ‘and gum trees, to grapple with remonstrating ‘bears, and to look out for the too frequent rattle- snake. Tall, strong, Uthe and smiling, Abe tolled on as a farm laborer, mule driver, sheep feeder, deer killer, woodcutter, and, lastly, as boatman on the waters of the Wabash and the Mississippt.” Another English writer in describing the pres- Ident {s still more realistic than his countryman when he says: “To say that he is ugly is nothing; to add that his figure is grotesque is to convey no adequate impression. Fancy a many six feet high, and then out of proportion; with long bony arms and legs, which somehow seem to be always in the way; with great rugged, furrowed hands, which grasp you lke a vise when shaking yours; with a long enaggy neck and a chest too narrow for the great arms at its side. “Add to this figure a head cocoanut shaped and somewhat too small for such a stature, cov- ered with rough, uncombed and uncombable hair, that stands out in every direction at once; a face furrowed, wrinkled and indented, as though it had been scarred by vitriol; a high, narrow fore- head; and sunk deep beneath bushy eyebrows two bright, dreamy eyes that seem to gaze through you without looking at you; a few frregular blotches of black bristly hair In the place where beard and whiskers ought to grow; a close set, thin lipped, ster mouth, with two rows of large white tecth, and a nose and ears which have been taken by mistake from a head twice the size. “Clothe this figure, then, in a tong, tight, badly fitting suit of black, creased, soiled and puckered up at every salient point of the figure (and ev- ery point of this figure 1s salient), put on large, {ILfitting boots, gloves too long for the long, bony fingers, and a fluffy hat, covered to the top with dusty, puffy erape; and then add to this an alr of strength, physical as well as moral, and a strange look of dignity coupled with all this gro- tesqueness, and you will have the impression left upon me by Abraham, Lincoln.” Ward Lamon, who knew him intimately, goes more Into details, He says: Mr. Lincoln was about six fect four inches high, the length of his legs being out of all proportion to that of his body. When he sat down in a chair he seemed no taller than an average man, measuring from the chair to the crown of his head; but his knees rose high in front, and a marble placed on the cap of one would roll down a steep descent to the hip. He weighed about 180 pounds, but he was thin through the breast, narrow across the shoulders, and had the general appearance of a consumptive subject. Standing up, he stooped slightly forward; sitting,down, he usually crossed his long legs or threw them over the arms of the chair as the most conven{ent mode of disposing of them. His “head was long and tall from the base of the brain and the eyebrow;” his fore- head big and narrow, but inclining backward as it rose. ‘The diameter of his head from ear to ear was 6% Inches and from front to back elght inches. His ears were large, standing out almost at right ‘angles from his head; his cheek bones high and prominent; his eyebrows heavy and jutting forward over small, sunken blue eyes; his nose long, large and blunt, the tip of it rather ruddy and slightly awry towards the right hand side; his chin, projecting far and sharp, curved upward to meet a thick, material lower lip, which hung downward; his cheeks were flabby, and the loose skin fell in wrinkles or folds; there was a large mole on his right cheek and an un- commonly prominent Adam's apple on his throat; his hair was dark brown in color, stiff, unkempt, and as yet showing little or no sign of advancing age or trouble; his com- plexion was very dark, his skin yel- low, shriveled and “leathery.” | In short, to use the language of Mr. Herndon, “he was a thin, tall, wiry, grisly, raw-boned man,” “looking woe-struck.” His countenance was haggard and careworn, exhibiting all the marks of deep and protracted suffering. Every feature of the man—the hollow eyes, with the dark rings be- neath; the long, sallow, cadaverous face, intersected by those peculiar deep lines; his whole air, his walk, his long, silent reveries, broken at Jong intervals by sudden and start: ling exclamations, as if to confound ‘an observer who might suspect the nature of his thought—showed he was a man of sorrows—not sorrows of today or yesterday, but long treas- ured and deep—bearing with him continual sense of weariness and pain. He was a plain, homely, sad, weary:.cot Ns man, to whom one’s heart warmed involuntarily, because he seemed at once miserable and kind. James B, Fry, who became intimately acquaint- ed with Lincoln early in the latter’s political ca- reer, says: Lincoln was tall and thin; his long bones were united by large joints and he had a long neck and an angular face and head. Many like- nesses represent his face well enough, but none that I have ever seen do justice to the awkward- ness and ungainliness of his figure. His feet, hanging loosely to his ankles, were prominent objects, but his hands were more conspicuous even than his feet—due perhaps to the fact that cere- mony at times compelled him to clothe them in white kid gloves, which always fitted loosely. Both in the height of conversation and in the depth of reflection his hand now and then ran over or supported his head, giving his hatr habitually a dis- ordered aspect. His expression in repose was sad and dull, but his ever-recurring htimor, at short Intervals, flashed forth with the brilliancy of an electric light. I observed but two well defined expressions in his countenance; one that of a pure, thoughtful, hon- est man, absorbed by a sense of duty and respon- sibility; the other, that of a humorist so full of fun that he could not keep {t all in. His power of analysis was wonderful. He strengthened every case he stated and no anecdote or joke ever lost force or effect from his telling. ‘Apropos of his large fect there 1s an anecdote told of Lincoin when he was in the legislature: He had walked his hundred miles to Vandalla, in 1836, as he had fn 1834, and when the session closed he walked home again, A gentleman of Menard county remembers meeting him and a de- tachment of the “long nine” on their way home. ‘They were all mounted except Lincoln, who had thus far kept up with them on foot. If he had any money he was hoarding it for more important pur- poses than that of saving leg weariness and leather. The weather was raw and Lincoln's clothing was none of the warmest. Complaining of being cold to one of his com- panions, this irreverent member of the “long nine” told his future president that it was no wonder that he was cold—“there was so much of him on the ground.” None of the party appreciated this homely joke at the expense of his feet (they were doubtless able to bear {t) more thoroughly than Lincoln did. We can imagine the cross fires of wit and humor by which the way was enlivened during this cold and tedious journey. ‘The scene was cértainly a rude one and seems more like a dream than a reality, when we re- member that it occurred not many years ago, in a state which now contains hardly less than three millions of people and 7,600 miles of railway. Cassius M. Clay in describing an address which he delivered at Springfield in 1856 says: “Lincoln and Browning lay upon the ground whittling sticks and heard me throughout with marked attention. Hurrying on to my appointments, I saw him then no more. I never shall forget his long, ungainly person and plain but even then sad and thoughtful features.” DIAMONDS £ SWZ, < 2 .

NAST Denver. The Popular Photograher. Only Caters to First-class Trade Our Pictures speak for Themselves NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY An Unsolved Cabinet Mystery Alger's Story of How the Kindly President Refused to Have Colonel Roosevelt Accused and Put on Trial. About a year before his death, which occurred in 1907, I met for the last time Russell A. Alger, volunteer general in the Civil war, governor of and United States senator from Michigan, a strong candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1888, and secretary of war in the first McKinley cabinet. "Whenever I think of William McKinley I always think first of his lovable character, and then of his great tact and wise discretion," said Mr. Alger. "And then I always recall the time when I, as secretary of war, went to him, as president, to complain of one of Col. Theodore Roosevelt's acts in Cuba. "No one who has not served in a cabinet, or other highly responsible position under a national administration, can realize how what seem to be trivial things, may prove to be of the utmost consequence; so that the tendency is for officials often to exaggerate really unimportant trifles tremendously. This is especially true during a period of great stress, as when a war is on; and I suppose that that was largely my state of mind when I sought out the president in regard to Col. Roosevelt. "At any rate, there appeared one morning in the newspapers the substance of a communication from Col. Roosevelt in which he appeared to criticise the war department because his regiment was getting insufficient or improper food. There was, also, a demand that the Rough Riders be immediately ordered from Cuba to some place where the fevers that were impairing their health and efficiency could be got rid of. As I read all this I flared up instantly with indignation. It appeared to me an improper thing for an army officer to do, and I was especially angry because the communication had been made public, apparently, before it had been sent to the war department. "In hot haste I went to the president. 'Mr. President,' I said to him, frankly, as I showed him the article, Marshall Jewell Never Could Learn Why the Chief Executive Forced Him to Resign as Postmaster General. In 1873, Marshall Jewell, who had been twice governor of Connecticut, was sent by President Grant as minister to Russia. The following year he was recalled and given the post of postmaster general. Two years later he resigned that portfolio, and popular rumor had it that he was forced to do so because he had disagreed with the president over the action of Secretary of the Treasury Benjamin H. Bristow in uncovering and prosecuting the internal revenue collectors and the distillers who were implicated in the "whisky ring" frauds which cost the government hundreds of thousands of dollars during the Grant administration. That is the reason given today for Mr. Jewell's resignation in his biographies, yet Mr. Jewell himself once assured me that he did not know why he had been forced to resign from the cabinet, and that he believed no man living knew except General Grant. "Right up to the moment that I was asked to resign as postmaster general," said Mr. Jewell, "I was most happy in my relations with the president and the cabinet. Especially was this true as regards the president himself. It was utterly without my knowledge that he nominated me as minister to Russia. It was also without my knowledge that he decided to call me to his cabinet. So, you see, I had every reason to believe that the president felt very kindly towards me, and I am most positive that I entertained only the most cordial feelings for him. "Well, one day when the last cabinet meeting I was destined to take part in, had just closed and we were on the point of leaving the cabinet room, the president turned to me. 'I would like to see you a moment after the other members of the cabinet have gone,' he said. "I bowed, and, standing, the president and I saw the rest of the cabinet out of the room. Then, with the door closed on the last man, the president stepped determinedly in front of me. "Jewell," he said, with a snap of his jaws, "I want your resignation as postmaster general.' "I was nonplussed, and I daresay I looked it. I opened my mouth to say something—I don't know what. But the president blocked me. "I don't want any questions asked,' he cautioned, 'for I shall answer none. I want your resignation, and I want you to write it here and now.' "I was nonplussed before; I was dazed now. Here I was being asked to resign as postmaster general and told that no reason would be given Negro Convinced President 'In my opinion, this is a clear case of insubordination, a direct violation of the rules of military discipline. Moreover, I think the seriousness of the situation is greatly aggravated by the fact that this communication, which should never have been written in the first place, was given to the press before it was sent to the war department.' "The president calmly put on his eye-glasses and read the article very carefully. "'Well, what do you think is best to do about it?' he asked very quietly, when he had finished. "I saw that he was not disturbed in the least, apparently, by what I had brought to his notice; but that had no tendency to cool my indignation. I had been irritated by many things since the beginning of the war; I had been severely criticised, as you know, and possibly that made me a little bit on the raw. So, in answer to the president's question, I exclaimed, bluntly: "Why, Mr. President, it seems to me that it is a case calling clearly for court martial. I am laying it before you with that object in mind." "The president glanced again at the article. Then he removed his eye- Blanche K. Bruce Made Grover Cleveland Understand Why He Could Not Accept Reappointment as Registrar of Treasury. The first negro to serve in the United States senate was the late Blanche K. Bruce. Elected a member of that body in 1875 from Mississippi, when that state was undergoing reconstruction, he remained a senator until 1881, when he was appointed registrar of the treasury by President Garfield. That position Bruce was still holding when Grover Cleveland was inaugurated president for the first time. There was a good deal of interest in the purpose of the new president respecting the office of registrar. It was me for forcing me to take this action. What a situation! I believe it is unique in the history of the cabinet. And there was only one thing for me to do—I saw that clearly. That was to comply with the president's wishes, and as speedily as possible. So, then and there, I took the paper and pen that he proffered me and sat down at the cabinet table and wrote out my resignation. Then I handed it to the president, who vouchsafed not a word, and I turned on my heel and departed." "And you don't know to this day why the president demanded your resignation?" I asked. "No, I do not," Mr. Jewell replied, "and I believe I never shall. For some time following my resignation, some of my friends tried to learn the reason, but were met with silence. Since then I have tried many a time to explain Grant's action to myself, but always without success. I know for a certainty, however, that I was not forced out of the cabinet because of any disagreement with the president over the manner of the prosecution of the 'whisky ring' frauds. There never was any such disagreement between us, nor any other disagreement up to the time that I left the cabinet. So far as I know, only Grant himself knows why he made me resign, and I have a feeling that I shall go to my grave with the mystery unsolved." Mr. talk with Mr. Jewell took place a little while before he, as chairman of the Republican national committee, led his party to victory in the campaign of 1880. Three years later he died, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that of some of his closest friends, he never learned why he was so peremptorily ousted from the postmaster generalship.

Even the child feels impulses that were born centuries before his time, and the old man passes out of life nursing hopes and seeing visions that belong to the ages to come. Eternity dwells in every human life. Mixed. An old lady and her daughter stopped outside the Lyceum theater to study the announcement concerning the pantomime. "Who's the gal as plays the lovier?" asked the old lady. "Jane Eyre," replied the daughter. "Jane Eyre!" exclaimed the old lady in amazement. "Well, what part, for goodness sake, does East Lynne play?"—London Opinion. glasses from his nose, and fastened his gaze upon me. "Oh, no," he began—and there was the beginning of a smile on his lips, and his voice was as gentle and kindly as a woman's, 'that would not do at all. I think I understand Col. Roosevelt very well. He undoubtedly was thinking of his soldiers—of their sufferings—when he wrote as he did, and was anxious that something should be done for their health and comfort. If there was any fault on his part, it was the fault of impulsive kindness. Technically you may be right, but we cannot afford to be too technical. Oh, no, it would never do to summon Col. Roosevelt before a court martial, in view of the kindly sympathy he had for his soldiers when he wrote that communication.' "Of course," continued Mr. Alger, "there was no appeal from the president's decision. But I went back to the war department still indignant at Col. Roosevelt; and not until some days later did I begin to realize that the president had shown the wisest kind of discretion in the matter. Indeed, when I recall all that President McKinley had to bear in those war days I am more than ever impressed with the wisdom of his judgment in refusing to authorize the court martial of Col. Roosevelt." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) political influence were anxious to serve as registrar, yet many of the president's friends predicted that he would keep Bruce in the office. However, another appointment was made in due course and not until McKinley became president did the former registrar emerge from private life, when he again became registrar of the treasury, remaining in that position until his death the following year. And yet, for all that Bruce was not reappointed registrar by President Cleveland, the latter very earnestly desired that the colored man should accept reappointment. Shortly after his inauguration and while he was considering various minor, though important appointments, the president sent a messenger to the registrar of the treasury, asking that official to call upon him. Bruce responded promptly and was received with great courtesy. "Senator Bruce," said the president, "I have had many applications from my personal friends to appoint some one of my own party as registrar of the treasury. But I have only one mind about this appointment since my election. I am going to reappoint you. And no appointment that I could make would give me more gratification." Bruce was clearly taken aback. "Why, Mr. President," he said, "I had not expected anything like this. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I shall always remember with gratitude this proof of your confidence in me. But, Mr. President, it is impossible; you must not make this appointment." It was the president's turn to show surprise. And he did it. "But why?" he asked. "There is no good reason why you should not serve under a Democratic administration." "No good personal reason, Mr. President," responded the registrar, courteously. "But there is an imperative political reason why I could not accept the office." Again the president showed plainly his surprise. "What is that?" he queried. "I don't understand. I can think of no reason whatsoever that should deter you from taking an appointment from me." "Mr. President," said Senator Bruce, "I don't like to say it to you, and I hope you will understand that I say it only to make clear my position to you, since you have offered me this appointment—but if I should accept office—any office whatever—under a Democratic administration, my people could never be persuaded that I had not betrayed them." For a considerable period the president looked steadily at the negro before him, and the longer he looked the less certain was Bruce of the effect of his explanation on the president. But at last the latter spoke. "Senator Bruce," he said, "if that is your feeling you cannot afford to accept my offer. And though I had not looked at the matter in that light you have convinced me that your reason is a good one—that your decision is the only proper one. But let me tell you that the day is surely coming when your people will not regard it as a betrayal of trust for one of their race to accept high appointment from a Democratic president."

The Denver Afro-American Ministers' Union at their last session adopted the following resolutions: The resolutions of a month or more ago concerning the conducting of funerals in white undertaking establishments have been thoroughly reconsidered. The resolutions were adopted by the ministers without a thorough knowledge of their contents. While the ministers wish to encourage all race enterprises and professional men in their fight for existence, and as far as these enterprises and professional men can serve us in the highest capacity, we do not wish to go upon record for using any rash or coercive means of attaining these ends. We believe in Negro enterprises when good service is given. We deplore the fact that so many of our people who are able to defray the expense of a competent, and in many cases an elaborate funeral service, go to white people for this service and leave the paupers to be cared for by our colored undertakers. We feel that the chief fault here is the lack of race loyalty and race appreciation. We feel that, we as a body of ministers should not use harsh or coercive means in bringing about race patronage. We believe in Negro enterprises and take great pleasure in leading a campaign in educating our people to patronize these enterprises when good service is given. We believe that these business places should be held up before our people as worthy of our support because of their capacity and ability to serve. In consideration of the above, be it therefore Resolved, That we revoke that part of the resolution which appeared a month ago which declares that no minister of the Union shall perform a funeral service over the body of a Negro in a white undertaking establishment. That the minister in charge of such a service use his own prerogative in conducting such funerals. That a copy of these resolutions be handed to the newspapers for publication. Done by the order of the Denver Ministers' Union. REV. J. A. THOMAS HAZELL, President. REV. A. E. EDWARDS, Secretary. REV. JAMES N. WALLACE, REV. A. M. WARD, REV. A. E. EDWARDS, Committee. The Ministers' Union elected the following officers for the year 1911 at a recent meeting: Rev. J. A. Thomas Hazell, president; Rev. W. C. Williams, vice president; Rev. A. E. Edwards, secretary; Rev. D. E. Over, assistant secretary; program committee: Revs. A. E. Reynolds, A. M. Ward, James N. Wallace. SUMMONS IN DIVORCE. The People of the State of Colorado, to Defendant above named, Greeting; t Criticises Her Sex. Mrs. Newell Dwight Hillis, wife of the minister, says in an article in the Outlook, that American women are not a success as home-makers. The American woman has been reared upon a false conception, she thinks. Has been set upon a pedestal and worshiped and has come to believe that she is a superior sort of being. She questions whether the talkative, self-assertive American girl is as well fitted for the work of the world as the English and German girls. Misiudged Brilliant Son. Lord Amphillt once found Bismarck reading Anderson's story on the Ugly Duckling, which relates how a duck hatched a swan's egg, and how the cygnet was jeered at by his putative brethren, the ducklings, until one day a troop of lordly swans, floating down the river, saluted him as one of their race. "Ah," observed Bismarck, "it was a long time before my poor mother could be persuaded that in hatching me she had not produced a goose." Power Going to Waste. Power Going to Waste It was asserted a few days ago before the Massachusetts gas and electric light commission that within 175 miles of Boston water capable of yielding 300,000 horse power is going to waste Two Late Costumes VELVET COAT—This is a most handsome coat and would look well in any dark colored velvet; our model is in black; it is semi-fitting and is taken to within about six inches of foot of skirt; the fronts are double-breasted, and are fastened by invisible hooks and eyes. Braided buttons and ornaments trim front and sleeves; these latter are edged with fur, to match stole and muff. Hat of champagne-colored felt, trimmed with black satin and feathers. Materials required: Nine yards velveten 24 inches wide, 1 dozen ornaments, 1 dozen buttons, $9 \frac{1}{2}$ yards satin 22 inches wide for lining. Visiting Dress—A dress such as By the Exercise of a Little Ingenuity It Is Wonderful What Can Be Traveling in these days when motoring saves many a long wait at country junctions, brings out latent talents in trunk packing. To stow away everything required, not only for a night at a hotel, but for a two day visit to friends on the line of route as well, makes a demand on closeness of packing which in old times used to be considered the prerogative of the sailor and the yachtman. One of the most useful contrivances is a small home-made hold-all to contain the needs of the day, carried out in dark silk, such as green or navy blue, and lined with thin mackintosh sheeting. If the silk is turned back at either end for half a yard, and sewn down, two pockets will be formed, which will hold a fresh motor vell, light gloves, to take the place, when shopping, of fur motor gauntlets, together with a vell for the face, an extra muffler and the comforts which are necessary when all weathers have to be expected, and when many adventures may be encountered. A sponge bag of the usual dimensions can be substituted by a square of mackintosh covered with silk to match the hold-all, and divided into pockets, intended to contain not only washing apparatus, but bath and toilet soap, a case of tooth powder and brush, tin for methylated spirits, hair curling etna and other toilet necessaries, which it is best to isolate in a damp-proof case. This can be rolled up so as to make a large or small parcel, and secured with washing ribbon. Nothing is dainter for the small girl's school frock than spotless collars and cuffs of white linen. These collars are of the popular turn-down variety which may be bought in the stores, of plain starched white linen, with cuffs to match. But much finer sets can be made at home out of the handkerchief linen with a simple buttonhole edge and they are much smarter than the ready-made eton and Byron collars of the stores. The cuffs are the most important garniture, for it is a labor of love to keep snowy cuffs on the little sleeves which seem to rub all the soil off the school desks, but these white accessories are so charming that the trouble is well worth while. Dyeing White Slippers. For white kid slippers which cannot be cleaned successfully after having been previously cleaned, buy a ten-cent tube of ivory black art paint. To one-half cupful of gasoline add enough paint to make fluid the consistency of cream. Apply evenly with a small brush, allow to dry thoroughly, and then polish with any good shoe paste. This does not harden the leather and will not wash or rub off. this would look well in wine-colored Amazon cloth. The style is Princess, slightly loose-fitting, and is trimmed below the knees by Russia braid laid on in a handsome design; an edging of fur is sewn below the braiding; a similar trimming is arranged on bodice, which has a yoke of tucked chiffon edged with fur; this also edges the over-sleeves, while the under ones are braided material. Hat of black velvet, lined with crepe-de-Deine, with a cabochon at the front. Materials required: $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards cloth 46 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen yards braid, 5 yards fur, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard tucked chiffon. Dancing Frock Patterned After One That Was Worn by Empress Josephine. These mid-season frocks have the same straight, slim lines, with little surplice bodices above a high sash or girdle which were noticeable in the earlier costumes. From Callot has come one of the sweetest little debutane frocks of the year—a dancing frock patterned after a little morning costume worn by Empress Josephine in the days when Napoleon was first captivated by her slim loveliness. Josephine's dress—like all the costumes of those lax days—was very thin and very, very transparent and was so narrow and straight that it revealed the slender, rounded limbs beneath with the frankness of a veiled statue; but, of course, the Callot reproduction is more in keeping with the customs of later times. Here is the quaint little high-waisted frock with long sleeves to the wrist and a perfectly straight, narrow skirt, but this little frock, made of very fine pure-white lace, falls over an equally straight, narrow slip of paleest pink satin. Around the high waist-line, reaching from just beneath the bust to almost the natural waist-line, is a broad girdle of the pink satin bordered at the top with a line of pink rosebuds, and at the back sash ends all from this girdle to just below the hip.—Jean Carrington's Fashion Article in Columbian.
