Training Artisans Self Reliance and Industry Inculcated and Efforts put forth to Improve Character of Community. Montgomery, Ala.—Corner-stones of four new buildings at the Kowaliga school in Elmore county, this state, will be laid next Sunday, and within a few weeks the buildings will be ready for occupancy, dedicated to the use of a Negro community. proposed that this idle time be utilized and with the aid of friends in the North he established many industries. The manufacture of turpentine was begun by a new process which did not impair the lumber value of the trees tapped. Sawmills were Kowaliga school differs from most other Negro schools in that it is largely supported by the thrift and intelligence of the Negroes themselves. Founded by John Benson 40 years ago on the plantation where he had formerly worked as a slave, it represents the ideas of a shrewd and far-seeing Negro who believed that self-reliance and industry were better for the freedom of the South than any amount of outside help. Kowaliga differs from other Negro schools, too, in that it does not seek to train highly educated academic or industrial leaders of the black race. Its aim is to produce skilled artisans and successful farmers, to enable the members of Kowaliga community to make the most of the opportunity afforded in that immediate district. In addition to a grammer school education, the pupils are taught manual training training, agriculture, poultry raising, dairying, laundering, domestic science etc. Incidentally, everything possible is done to improve the character of the residents and to make them law abiding and useful citizens. In the main and branch schools 12 teachers are now employed and the enrolment is usually about 300. This Negro community, which is doing so useful a work in the South, grew out of a careful study of the needs of his fellow freedmen undertaken by John Benson. He took over 160 acres of land and began the raising of cotton. His success attracted other Negro families to Kowaliga and ultimately a community was established which now numbers about 1000 people and occupies a tract of land nine miles long and six miles wide. John Benson saw that the cotton industry did not require all the planter's time. From June or July, when the cotton crop was "laid by," until the autumn, when it was picked, the community had much idle time on its hands. He VOL. XVII. proposed that this idle time be utilized and with the aid of friends in the North he established many indurries. The manufacture of turpentine was begun by a new process which did not impair the lumber value of the trees tapped. Sawmills were built and the members of the community were encouraged to utilize their idle time in the mills. William E. Benson, son of the founder of the community, is now its head. He has held steadily to his father's ideas of training skilled workmen rather than men of a higher academic cast. "I believe that similar enterprises, if properly financed, would meet with success all over the South, and that in the course of time they would have the effect of lessening the demand for aid from the North," he said. "It is unfortunate that we should have to seek assistance from Northern friends with such regularity, but it must be remembered that state aid is extended to Negro schools only in a limited measure." The new structures, now being erected, are a girls' dormitory, a boys' dormitory, a manual training school and a domestic arts building. They are not yet equipped. It will take about $25 to equip each dormitory-room. $201,753.26 RAISED IN DOLLAR MONEY Rev. John Hurst of the A. M. E. Church Makes Financial Report. Washington, D. C., April, 19.—Reports submitted by Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at the thirty-eighth annual meeting of the financial board of the denomination, held here this week, show that $201,752.26 was raised in dollar money during the fiscal year ended April 1. This is an increase of $3,000 over last year's report and of more than $34,000 for the year previous to the last mentioned. The meeting was presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, who is chairman of the board, vice Bishop A. Grant, who DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 29 1911. died several months ago. In a touching address, Bishop Parks referred to the life and services of the deceased prelate, as did a number of members of the board. The late Bishop Lampton, who, for six years served as financial secretary, was also enlogized by Bishop Parks and his colleagues. The report of Secretary Hurst was an exhaustive review of the work of his department and contained recommendations for the more efficient carrying on of the work of the denomination in this country and Africa. He also spoke feelingly of the late Bishop Grant, who, at the time of his death, was serving his second consecutive term as chairman of the board, and of the late Bishop Lampton. Dr. Hurst was highly commended for his painstaking and the business-like way in which he has conducted the department since his election to the post at the general conference which met in Norfolk, Va., three years ago. The money that passes through the department is raised in subscriptions of $1 each from members of the various A. M. E. Churches. The amount raised this year brings the total amount raised through this channel to over $3,000,000. For church maintenance, etc ,the proceeds of which do not pass through financial secretary's hands, over $4,000,000 was raised by churches of the denomination during the past year. Of the money reported by Dr. Hurst, 8 per cent. ($16,140.26) was used in furnishing the educational work of the denomination; 10 per cent. ($20,175.33) turned over to the Church Extension Society; 36 per cent. ($72,631.18) retained by the various annual conferences for the support of superannuated ministers, widows, orphans and for mission work, and the remainder ($92,806.50) used for general church needs such as the payment of the salaries of bishops and other general officers and for other contingencies. Besides a large number of visitors at the meeting the following members of the Board were present: Rev. A. L. Murray, Atlantic City, N. J.; Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Chicago; Rev. Charles Bundy, Cleveland, Ohio; Rev. A. J. Carey, Chicago; Rev. J. R. Nansom, Topeka, Rev. N. B. Sterrett, Charleston, S. C.; Rev. J. M. Conner, Little Rock, Ark.; P. C. Hunt, Palestine, Texas; Rev. A. J. Kershaw, Tallahasse, Fla.; Rev. C. H. Shelto, Memphis, Tenn. The Colored Teachers' Association of New Orleans has subscribed $250 to be used in tuberculosis prevention work. It is proposed to make that amount the nucleus of a fund for the erection of a sanitarium for colored consumptives, 70 YEARS OLD WINS TWO MEDALS (From New York Age.) Up in Harlem the colored residents boast of celebrities galore, but a new one has been added to the list in the person of Mrs. Martha Harmon, 70 years old, who is also the pride of the New York Board of Education, and the principal and teachers of Public Night School No. 157. Despite her advanced years, Mrs. Harmon is now enjoying her school days, and the remarkable record she has made within the past four years has brought her fame. A few enenings ago she was presented with two gold medals which she proudly wears on "state occasions." One of the medals was given for attendance and the other for efficiency in her studies. Mrs. Harmon is considered an ideal pupil by her teachers. At Public Night School No.157, the principal and teachers often refer to their 70-year-old pupil and her record. For four years she has been attending night school, taking an elementary course. During the four years Mrs. Harmon has never missed an evening and has been late but once. She would not have been tardy the one time had it not been for company who called on her one evening last season, and in the midst of an interesting conversation the aged pupil failed to pay attention to the clock, walking into her class room a few minutes after the teacher had called the roll. Mrs. Harmon resides at 198 West 134th street, and Public Nigt school No. 157 is located at 125th street and Manhattan avenue, yet this woman, 70 years old, has walked to school every evening during the four years, braving the snow, sleet, rain and wind. Not once has she ridden to the school house. The night school term commences in October and ends in April. During the winter months school is held every week day except Friday and Saturday. In order to acquire education, Mrs. Harmon has donned her heavy coat and mittens for four years and wended her way on foot to school, defying the wintry blasts and treaterous sidewalks. Mrs. Harmon was born in Kentucky seventy years ago, and while young moved to Dayton, Onio, where she spent most of her life. She resided for years just around the corner from Paul Lawrece Dunbar, and remembers when he was quite a lad. Some years ago she moved to New York. She is a widow and has a daughter and a grandson. Mrs. Harmon does not seem to think that she has done anything unusual for a woman of her age, and is not disposed to speak of her enviable record. She says the medals speak for themselves. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES St. Paul, Minn., April 18.—James E. Murphy of the mailing division in the At. Paul Post Office in a recent test examination made the highest general average ever established by a government employee in the Northwest. The Negro's average was 99.75 per cent. Macon, Ga.—Macon is to have a Negro hospital operated by private parties. An organization has been formed by the Negro physicians, nurses, dentists and drug-gists of the city, and a fund of $6,000 has been subscribed. The city will be asked for a site, and if it is secured the hospital will be built without delay. The Brooklyn Eye says editor-torrially: "The bill prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks has been defeated in the Massachusetts legislature. Great credit is due Editor Trotter and his friends, both white and colored who appeared before the committee in opposition to the bill. Marriage is honorable, and nothing honorable should be suppressed. We are of one blood, although the races have drifted apart, but the place from whence they came thither will they return." The Amsterdam News, New York City, is rendering the race valuable service by its advocacy of a penny savings bank to be located Edward Price of Dothan, Ala. who is said to be the largest Negro merchant in the state, has recently built in the heart of the business district a substantial brick structure, 50 by 125 feet, two stories high. The cost of the building and ground is $10,000; the yearly volume of the business amounts to $30,000. Mr. W. Isaac Johnson of Richmond, Va., the funeral director and liveryman has sold his property at 207 Foushee St. for $25,000 to the Eagles (white). He has purchased the three houses at 10, 12 and 14 W. Leigh St. with a frontage of 60 feet. The three story brick building will be pulled down and a spacious three story building erected. Former Registrar W. T. Vernon is resting, preparatory to going out on an extended lecture tour. It is expected that he will accept one of the larger churches of the A. M. E. denomination at the close of the lecture season. Dr. Vernon is in hearty accord with the national administration and has the warmest personal regard for President Taft. Raton, N. M., April 23: A troop of Negro singer will not appear in this city this week as advertised, and William Leonard Johnson, the local manager of the Lyric theatre, has drawn the color line ih no uncertain terms. Yesterday he received a letter from the William Jubilee Singers, demanding that Negroes be allowed to attend the performance. "Negroes never have entered my playhouse, and they never will, as guests," was the managers reply by wire. Accordingly the troupe will pass up this city. NO 33 The Brooklyn Eye says editor-torrially: "The bill prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks has been defeated in the Massachusetts legislature. Great credit is due Editor Trotter and his friends, both white and colored who appeared before the committee in opposition to the bill. Marriage is honorable, and nothing honorable should be suppressed. We are of one blood, although the races have drifted apart, but the place from whence they came thither will they return." The Amsterdam News, New York City, is rendering the race valuable service by its advocacy of a penny savings bank to be located in Harlem, where the great bulk of the Afro-American population resides. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, contributing editor of the News, pointed out very clearly in a recent issue of that paper the economic value of saving on a small scale. The idea is feasible and should meet the hearty approval of our people throughout Greater New York and vicinity. Most all churches, secret societies and business concerns have bank accounts. Thousands of dollars are collected in these institutions weekly, and their monthly footings would be astonishing if brought together and deposited in one common coffer. Let the race get together in New York and husband its resources so as to give employment to capable young men and women. HIS MOTHER A NECRO Elliott City, Md., April 30 — After three white physicians had examined William Connors and declared that they found no traces of Negro blood the State called on his mother to testify that she is a Negro, and he was sentenced to three years in the Maryland Penitentiary on the charge of miscegenation growing out of his marriage to Minnie Breitenbach, a white woman of Baltimore. The woman was not tried at all. Connels had claimed that he was of Indian descent. The sending of Corrons to the Penitentiary has arroused indignation and an effort will be made to have him released from prison. For years it has been illegal in Maryland for whites and colored to intermarry. Could Not Help Himself.

Has Seen Lot of Trouble and Carking Cares, and Has Aged Under Them Before Its Time—Merchant Causes Riot. Pennsylvania avenue is not the oldest street in the world—it merely looks so. The avenue is not as old as the Appian Way, for instance, by several years, but though young, it has seen a lot of trouble and carking cares, and has aged under them before its time. To say that the avenue looks like sixty only expresses half the truth—it looks like 1860. When the first troops that came hurrying to Washington to end the war in ninety days marched down Pennsylvania avenue, they looked upon the same buildings that stand there today. The same pair of blue overalls that flap in the breeze today in front of a second-hand clothing store hard by the capitol, waved a welcome to them as they swung gaily by on their way to see what the fuss was all about down in Virginia. The writer has ascertained that the same fresh roasted peanuts that are exposed for sale today anywhere along the avenue from the treasury to the capitol were on the market then. The same peanut politicians—but that's another story. Nothing on Pennsylvania avenue ever changes. It is true that back in 1880 a merchant painted the front of his store. Feeling ran high against him, but he averted trouble by leaving town. Time has dealt kindly with the building, however, and its shame is hidden now by the passage of thirty effacing years. The avenue never mentions the incident, and has tried to forget it by throwing over the building a mantle of charity and dust. The hotels and restaurants and bars that line the avenue preserve intact all the traditions of the '40s, '50s and '60s. The price of whisky has not changed on the avenue since Jackson was president. Anyone can verify that by consulting some of the unpaid bills of the statesmen of that generation that are kept in the safe at Shoomaker's. Harvey's oysters and Hancock's chicken fries have not changed. Hancock gets his Maryland chickens from the same place in Virginia that he got them before the war, and they are cooked by the same Maryland cook from Pennsylvania. Harvey's has lost some prestige by putting in new table cloths and hiring a lot of young waiters who can't remember any further back than the Missouri compromise. But the place retains much of its old time charm and all of its old time prices. its old shoemaker's has not changed. Ah, not at all. Shoemaker's changes nothing except your money. If one cobweb should fall from the ceiling, Shoemaker's could not look its customers in the face. It could not plug up a rat hole in the floor and continue business. Iconoclasm may strike Pennsylvania avenue some day. Rash men may wash windows and put up new buildings, and even kill off a few million of the birds that chatter and scream in its old gnarled trees, but Shoemaker's will remain true to the past. The cheese from which Henry Clay nibbled as he sipped his frugal beer and turned over his next speech in his mind, still will stand on the table beside the dish in which Webster groped for olives to cool his fevered tongue. There will stand the herring and the pretzel, fulfilling their noble mission of imparting a thirst to throats from which thirst had flown, as well as diffusing their grateful odor through the circumambient air. And there will stand the rusty stove with the cat under it and the rickety chairs and the scarred tables round which the heroic figures of the past sat and discussed the Wilmot proviso and the Dreg Scott decision. No glided mirrors adorn the walls of Shoomaker's. No cut glass adorns the bar. There are no meretricious fixtures at all at Shoomaker's to allure or to beguile. Your whisky comes out of an old-fashioned bottle and your money goes into an old-fashioned till. The bar is the "mahogany" only by courtesy. It is cracked and warped and worn smooth by more than half a century of service, for most drinks at Shoomaker's are "perpendicular drinks," taken standing. One may sit down at Shoomaker's, but one would rather not. Those who are on their feet when the building falls down will have a much better chance of getting out. But in the words of the mighty Webster, it is not for the writer to pass any encomlums upon Shoomaker's. There it stands, and there it will stand forever. Shoomaker's and Harvey's and Hancock's, and the National and Metropolitan hotels set the standard of antiquity for the avenue. Other places that are not so old make up for it in uncleanliness and shabbliness, to deceive the observer. The avenue has no desire to shine by any light save of the past. It is the sole part of oldtime Washington that is left in anything like its pristine unlovelliness, and it intends to keep appearance as long as it can. Unfortunately they have paved the avenue since the war, and thus robbed it of its one time distinction of being the worst street in the world. But the old gabled buildings remain, with their iron balconies in front and their pillared porticos where the one-time inhabitants sat and discussed Polk's chances of carrying Pennsylvania. Looking at these relieds of the past that time does not seem so very far back, especially when a Virginia farmer happens to be driving by with his horse hitched up to his rattling old buggy with a rope harness. The stranger who sees for the first time the yellow Virginia clay clinging to the wheels of such a vehicle gains a new insight into history. That clay is what the Virginia roads are made of, and if he never knew before, he understands then why it took the Union army so long to get to Richmond. Proud of American Soldiers. The American soldier in the Philippines is so neat in military attire and so soldierly in deportment that his fellow countrymen should feel proud of him. This is the substance of a report from Major General J. Franklin Bell, now in command in the Philippines and previously chief of staff of the army. "To those familiar with conditions as they existed during the early years of the American occupation in these islands," he says, "the improvement which has been brought about in neatness of military attire and soldierly deportment must seem nothing short of remarkable. "Our appearance and deportment then were frequently the source of much unfavorable comment. Now no American can have just cause for shame on account of the appearance of his uniformed countrymen." Gift for President. President Taft is to receive a very handsome and costly present from the people of Tacoma, Wash. The people up there are very fond of President Taft, and have been preparing his present for some time. It is a section of a mastadon tusk, 25 inches long, beautifully carved in bas relief and wrought in unalloyed Alaska gold. It is supposed to be a desk ornament, but a desk would have to be of mastadon proportions if it held many ornaments of this character. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the present is that it was taken from a placer mine in Alaska, and in making it over $2,000 worth of gold was used. Experiment With China Corn. The department of agriculture is experimenting with corn shipped from China. Plants raised last year averaged less than 16 inches in height with an average of 12 green leaves at the time of tasseling. The ears averaged $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches in length and 4 1-3 in greatest circumference with 16 and 18 rows of small grains. ROCKY MOUNTAIN SENATORS GET IMPORTANT COMMIT- TEE APPOINTMENTS. WARREN SUCGEED HALE OF TEN APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE PLACES WEST GETS FIVE. Washington.—In the reorganization of Senate committees for the Sixty-second Congress just completed, Wyoming's senior senator, Warren, gets the chairmanship of appropriations, the most powerful committee in the Senate, the place for over 23 years occupied by Senator Allison of Iowa and later by Senator Hale of Maine, and the one, all the year around, every year important busy committee. Thus the most important influence in dispensing Uncle Sam's money moves from New England to the Rocky mountains. Of the ten majority places on the appropriations committee, it is noticeable that five go to the Rocky mountain states, two to the Pacific coast, two to New England and one to the Middle West, giving the control of the committee practically to the Rocky mountain states. Senator Guggenheim received a number of important assignments which will enable him to promote materially the interests of his state. He was made chairman of the committee on the Philippines, succeeding Senator Lodge, and was given places on agriculture, and forestry, census, conservation of national resources, military affairs, mines and mining, postoffices and post roads and public lands. The reorganization gives Wyoming the leading places in the Senate. Senator Warren also retains, in addition to the chairmanship of appropriations, the ranking membership, next to the chairman (which puts him on all conferences) on all the following six committees: Military affairs, rules agriculture and forestry, public buildings and grounds, expenditures in the department of state, irrigation and reclamation of arid lands. Senator Clark of Wyoming retains his important chairmanship of the committee on the judiciary, and drops off from foreign relations, exchanging that place for one on finance, thereby obtaining a committee place of much higher usefulness to Wyoming interests. Senator Clark of Wyoming also retains his old place on the following committees: Public lands, conservation, railroads, transportation and sale of meat products, transportation routes to the seaboard. Railroads Charged With Rebating. Cleveland, O.—Thirteen indictments on a total of 110 counts, charging four iron ore carrier railroads entering Cleveland with rebating, and alleging that two of the railroads and three individuals are guilty of conspiracy to violate the Elkins law, were returned by the federal grand jury here. The railroads are the Pennsylvania, Lake Shore Michigan Southern, Bessemer and Lake Erie and the New York, Chicago and St. Louis. Daylight Bandits Get $20,000. Chicago.—The most daring robbery in Chicago's criminal annals occurred when three men left an automobile in front of the jewelry store of Edward Alberti Sons, 446 Milwaukee avenue, entered the store with drawn revolvers, "stuck up" nine men, backed them into a room, bound and gagged them and then fled, taking with them $20,000 worth of diamonds and watches. Battleship Ends Long Journey. Boston.—A 17,000-mile funeral trip to the coast of South America ended when the battleship Delaware steamed up to the navy yard from Valparaiso, Chile, where she carried and delivered the body of the Chilean minister, Señor Don Anbal Cruz, who died in Washington. Chinese Pirates Attack Ship Shanghai.—According to passengers rescued from the Pacific Mail steamship Asia after the vessel was wrecked on Finger Rocks recently, the officers had to use their revolvers to keep a fleet of Chinese pirate craft at bay while the passengers were being transferred. First Public Land Convention. Denver.—The first public lands convention ever held in the United States will convene in Denver September 28, 1911, and will continue for three days. Alleged Dynamiters in California. Los Angeles.—Heavily manacled and guarded by eight officers from Chicago and Los Angeles, John J. McNamara, his brother, James W, McNamara, and Ortie E. McManigal, alleged dynamiters, entered California on the Santa Fe railroad and are in jail in Los Angeles. Beautifying Cemetery. Windsor, Colo.—Many trees are being planted in the Windsor cemetery, the beautifying of which was taken up by the women of Windsor. Gov. Shafroth Exercises Veto Power Fourth Time. For the fourth time since the Eighteenth General Assembly convened Gov. Shafroth has exercised the veto power, placing his seal of disapproval on the bill which provides that water commissioners and their assistants, now paid by the several counties, shall be paid out of the funds in the state treasury and making an appropriation of the first class for this purpose. In returning the bill with his disapproval to the Legislature Gov. Shaflroth calls attention to the lavish appropriations which have been made by the Eighteenth General Assembly and its predecessor as well as to the numerous items of expenditure on the legislative schedule for passage. He figures that the state treasury would be drained to the extent of $300,000 for each biennial period if he approved the bill providing for the payment of water commissioners' salaries out of state funds. "The state of Colorado," says the governor in his veto message, "has been exceedingly generous with the agricultural interests of the state." The governor intimates in his message that the axe is waiting for the water defense bill which passed the Senate on second reading. He says: "There has been appropriated, and paid, by the state of Colorado for the conducting of a law suit between the state of Kansas and the state of Colorado, involving the waters of the state of Colorado used for irrigation purposes, the sum of $83,000, and this General Assembly is likely to pass an act appropriating $50,000 to resist the suit of some irrigation companies in Kansas to compel the Colorado irrigation companies to cease using waters claimed by them." In the veto message Gov. Shafroth returns to his hobby of greater taxation for state purposes from counties. "For the maintenance of the state government, including all its institutions, the constitution gave the right of a 4 mill levy upon a full valuation of property within this state. The state officers have begged the assessors of the various counties of this state to give a larger valuation upon property, so that the state could get a better revenue. "We had a meeting of the county assessors and tried to get them to make the levy forty per cent instead of thirty-three per cent, so that state institutions could be cared for properly, but the county assessors, almost unanimously, declined to assess more than thirty-three and one-third per cent of the value of property, and in actual practice some have even gone below that. "It is certain that the counties by taxation pay into the state treasury only one-third of that which the constitution says the state shall be entitled to, and yet there is a continual attempt to impose county burdens upon the state treasury." The House will not accept the bank guaranty bill as it came from the Senate after two weeks of careful deliberation. The banking committee has held two meetings to consider this bill and others will be held before it is presented to the House. Bills Passed in House. Mouse bill 231, Mann, providing for the payment of a bounty for predatory wild animals. House resolution No. 6, Mann, memorializing Congress for a constitutional amendment forbidding polygamy. House bill 413, Tovey, changing the salaries of judges and clerks of the County Courts in certain counties. House resolution No. 7 providing for the appointment of a committee to make plans and obtain a site for the Colorado building at the Panama-Pacific exposition. Senate bill 40, Gove, providing for the placing of orphan children in charitable institutions. House bill 97, Hurd, an act providing for the sentencing of first and second offenders under twenty-five years of age to the state reform school and all other convicted criminals to the state penitentiary. House bill 242, Skinner, an act relating to the fees for legal advertising. House bill 379, Lafferty, amending the present park and pleasure ground law so that cities may be able to acquire territory outside of their limits for parks. This bill changes the present law so that Denver will be able to acquire and control a mountain park. Two important bills that were to have come up were passed over until a future date. H. B. 199, by Bacon, requiring the installation of electric headlights on all locomotives. House bill 460, Weaver, providing for an appropriation to the state highway commission, is still in the hands of the appropriation committee, and was passed until a report is made. H. B. 282, by Slattery, providing for a mechanic's lien on mining property for work done and supplies furnished. H. B. 312, making an appropriation of $29,178.10 for the state normal school. H. B. 318 creating Piedra county out of portions of Hinsdale and Mineral counties. shoe Without a sew worth considering; the question it is the main question for you the shoe is by letting our expert fit few minutes to select the right in the style you want.

WSHIP in America, so far as the colored man before known but one foundation, and to Odd Fellows has been the one great success for recognition and friendly co-operation, real head in England and its established Canada, Australia and various remote islands, recover the entire field outside of the separate dependent Order, with which there is no one has been known of the other English order of Odd Fellows of Leeds, England, nor is its origin back through several centuries, claim foothold on American soil, as a dame to a head in the Grand United Order in Baltimore. J. C. Asbury of Philadelphia of the Odd Fellows' Journal, who was given in which the B. M. C. was controlled and agreement that he has received a dispensation him to establish lodges in America, and some future, time which shall establish a law in this country. The adoption of this rebuke to what is claimed to be high-land to at Baltimore, and before and since, in the Grand United Order. As much a shade pertinent and effective by this annuity of good results from a competitive development of the best qualities in the selfish genius in their official directorates, Fellows represent the second greatest exam established by the colored American, and authority in the exercise of such organic best, are experimenters, warrants every lesion may arise from the attempt to make of Odd Fellows among the colored people, establish a higher and better grade of leader. ODDFELLOWSHIP in America, so far as the colored American is concerned, has heretofore known but one foundation, and to them the Grand Order of Odd Fellows has been the one great source of fraternal unit, sufficient for recognition and friendly co-operation throughout the world. Its original head in England and its established branches in the United States, Canada, Australia and various remote islands and provinces have seemed to cover the entire field outside of the separate and distinct realm of the Independent Order, with which there is no prospect of affiliating. Very little has been known of the other English order, designated as the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows of Leeds, England, notwithstanding the fact that it traces its origin back through several centuries. But the latter order is about to claim foothold on American soil, as a direct result of the troubles which came to a head in the Grand United Order at its biennial meeting last year in Baltimore. J. C. Asbury of Philadelphia, formerly editor and publisher of the Odd Fellows' Journal, who was greatly disatisfied with the manner in which the B. M. C. was controlled and conducted, has just made announcement that he has received a dispensation from the Leeds Order, authorizing him to establish lodges in America, and providing for a convention at some future time which shall establish a national body of supreme authority in this country. The adoption of this Order in America is intended as a rebuke to what is claimed to be high-handed and tyrannical methods resorted to at Baltimore, and before and since, by men of prominence and power in the Grand United Order. As much as we grieve over the dissension made pertinent and effective by this announcement, we realize the great possibility of good results from a competition that must depend upon the development of the best qualities in the respective memberships and of unselfish genius in their official directorates. The Odd Fellows represent the second greatest example of organized development yet established by the colored American, and the danger of the abuse of official authority in the exercise of such organized power among people who, at best, are experimenters, warrants every legitimate restraint. While some confusion may arise from the attempt to make room for two distinct orders of Odd Fellows among the colored people, the ultimate result may be to establish a higher and better grade of leadership in fraternal circles.

And they absolutely refuse to acknow WITH the national House of Representatives in their control, the Democrats are jubilant, and already have begun to boast of the things which they expect to accomplish and the future victories which they are quite certain are awaiting them. Their apparent confidence in the belief that the country at large is with them and impatiently awaiting an opportunity to make their control of the government absolute, is charming and daring to an equal degree. According to their spokesman, reciprocity with Canada is an acceptable beginning to free trade legislation which, they promise, is already under way. And they absolutely refuse to acknowledge President Taft as the legitimate parent of the reciprocity child, but, to the contrary, declare that it is his only by adoption, the infant having been born in a Democratic household. With a burst of unbridled enthusiasm they set out their program, which includes measures providing for reciprocity with Canada, partial free trade with the world, the popular election of United States Senators, publicity of campaign expenses before elections, congressional reapportionment, the repeal of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution and numerous other hobbies and traditions of Democratic origin. There is no mistaking the ambition of the South to shape the course of the party, and measures which were defeated in the last Congress will now be brought up and passed. The design to put before the country propositions intended to undo the legitimate results of the Civil War will probably put Democracy on trial more severely than it expects, and the bold declaration of its program, in the fact of a supposedly hostile Senate and executive, gives fair warning to the element known as Insurgents or Progressives that theirs must be a dodge between progression and retrogression Radical Democracy is decidedly less progressive than radical Republicanism, and a disposition to revolutionize modern tendencies is not apt to bring to Democratic standards the endorsement of the country for which it so confidently hopes It may well be acknowledged that there is wide dissatisfaction among the people, with industrial and social conditions which ought to find amelioration and reform through honest legislation, but the attempt to make these reforms secondary in importance to sectional doctrines which have no general bearing upon the needs and the welfare of the whole people will create poor ground on which to base hopes for industrial or other improvement. The abolition of one form of industrial or trade combination, called a trust, and the simultaneous establishment of another form, which, in the end, must bring the people just as many burdens as they had before, does not seem to promise much in the way of permanent benefit to the American people. Along with the beef and lumber and steel and coal barons of the North must go the cotton and land barons of the South and in their stead must come institutions which are not designed to prey upon any part of the people. The universal demand of the people of the United States is for greater liberty and larger opportunity and not the curtailment of the just liberties or opportunities of any element or class of the people. Democracy has no grounds for the assumption that she has been recognized as the people's sole source of political salvation and every radical proposition that she now lays down and which is not in line with the progressive and reformative ideas of the nation's ectorate, will tend to drive from her the wavering faith with which she now assumes to be endowed. PERMANENT MUSICAL ORGANIZATION. At last we are to have the good fortune of possessing something that will help to establish in this city and state a closer union between the races and a solidarity of action among us. "The heights that great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, etc." Is an appropriate quotation in this cause, as it embodies concerted action and concentrated efforts, which are the fundamental bases of all successful organizations. The public is therefore cordially invited to attend the mass meeting to be held at the People's Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening, at 8:30 o'clock sharp, for the purpose of instituting a permanent musical organization. The promoters desire to convey this fact, that the purport of this society is strictly business like; and while special attention will be given to the acquisition of the art of music, yet on their part there is no inclination to interfere with any existing musical organizations, or to impede the promotion or progress of anything on that score. The promoters further request all persons who are musically inclined, and who possess a love for the art, to demonstrate the same by being present at the above meeting at the aforestated date and time, for the purpose of deliberating on this all-important matter and inaugurating the same. This worthy object is commended and indorsed by the editor of the Colorado Statesman. NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon Topics Sunday, April 30th 11 a. m.—"How We Got Our Bible." 6:45 p. m.—Y. P. S. C. E. "A Missionary Journey Around the World." Ps. 60:1-12. 7:30 p. m.—"The Other Side of the Question." We desire to especially invite the public to the consideration of our morning subject. The Fiftieth anniversary of King James version of the bible is being observed throughout christendom. Consequently at the 11 o'clock service we shall tell our audience "How We Got Our Bible." Blackboard sketch with illustrations will be used. That ample time be given to the explanation of this Book of Books, most of the preliminary order of services will be suspended. The congregation is asked to report promptly at 11 o'clock to get the benefit of the discourse. On the recommendation of the session, the congregation voted last Sunday night to grant the pastor six weeks leave of absence commencing at the expiration of his vacation of six weeks. The Rev. Thos.-Hazell will therefore be absent from his church for three months, beginning the second week in June. The Rev. C. W. Holmes will be Stated Supply during the intorim. Elected officers of the Christian Endeavor for the year 1911-12 are: Madames S. Maddox and E. Wilson, president and vice president respectively; Misses S. Hall and G. Cole, secretary and treasurer, respectively; Mrs. M. Anderson, organist. The Guild meets next Tuesday night with Mrs. Cowan. 2550 Clarkson. In lieu of the regular prayer meeting last Wednesday night Mr. Buchanan entertained us with a lecture on Biblical stories, illustrated on his stereopticon. Don't forget the instruction class for candidates for membership with this church meets every Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5 for children and 7 to 8 at nights of the same day for adults. Public reception of members will take place June 4th in connection with the observance of the Holy Eucharist. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH. The Sacred Cantata rendered by the choir under the direction of Mr. H Watson was a shouting success. The church was filled to its utmost capacity and the audience must be congratulated for their interest from the beginning of the program until the end. The Rev. Thos. G. Brown of the Episcopal church delivered an address in keeping with the occasion. Those who are to be complimented for their excellent service in the rendition of this masterpiece are the following; Mesdames Ross, Mosley, Wallace, Evans, Holmes, Forney, Castry and Misses Rice, E. A. Anthony, Pierson, Young and Rhoda Anderson, and Messrs. Webster, Rice, Burrell, Giles, Holmes and H. Watson. This demonstrates the fact that there are lots of latent talent in the smaller churches that with the touch of a master hand can be turned into splendid account. Mesdames Castry and Rice led the Epworth League meeting last Sunday evening to the delight of all. The subject for Sunday evening is "Help and Hindrance from Within." (1 Tim. 1-5; John 3:20-21; Heb. 12:14; Proverbs 2:23). These are special meetings arranged to help young people in their struggle against obstacles that hinder their moral and religious progress. Come. Mr. J. D. Rice is expected home next week from Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Rice has successfully been promoted to the Senior class. He will finish next year with high honors. He will preach for Scotts in the near future. Look out for the date. Special music will be rendered on this occasion by the choir that was under his direction prior to his going to Gammon. The Ladies' Aid Fair! Everybody is talking up the Ladies' Aid Fair! Come to our rescue. We must raise one hundred dollars on this grand occasion. Three splendid programs will be rendered. Everything good to eat and nice things to adorn the body will be sold. Mrs. Forney, the energetic president, is moving things with the co-operation of her faithful helpers. The pastor will preach both morning and evening Sunday. The text for Sunday morning is Isaiah 1:18: "Reasoning With God." The evening subject, "Christ, the only Hope of the World," Acts 4:12. You are invited to hear these messages. WHEN MEAT IS COSTLY BEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH CHEAP CUTS CAN BE PREPARED. Mock Chicken and Beef Loaf Made From Round Steak—Breakfast Dish of Liver and Park—Meat Here are some ways in which cheap cuts of meat can be prepared: Mock Chicken.—One and a half pounds of round steak, cut into small pieces about two inches square; roll in flour, put in roasting pan and fry in butter till brown. Then remove from stove, cover with cold water, add a little flour, set in the oven and simmer for three hours; stir occasionally, and add more water as needed to keep the meat covered. When the meat is cooked it tastes surprisingly like chicken. Thicken the gravy more if necessary. Add salt about an hour before it is done. Beef Loaf.—Three pounds round steak, one-half pound salt pork, four or five soda crackers, one-half cup of milk. Add more salt if desired. Season with one-half teaspoon of ground sage, or clove or garlic, or a few drops of onion extract. Mix into a loaf and bake in oven. Bake occasionally. Breakfast Dish.—Take five cents' worth of liver and ten cents' worth of a cheap cut of pork and put in a kettle together; cover with four quarts of water, cook slowly for an hour, salt after it has commenced to boll, and stir occasionally. Drain off half of the liquid and use for soup stock; it is splendid. Place the remainder on the fire and stir in enough yellow corneal to make as thick as mush. Run the pork and liver through a meat chopper, or chop fine. Season with more salt, sage and pepper, and stir into the meal mush. Turn out into a pan and set in a cool place. Fry for breakfasts; it will keep for a week. Meat Ple.—Get a ten-cent neck cut of meat; trim, place in kettle, cover with cold water, let come to a boll, then simmer till done, keeping the same amount of water on it. When it is cooked, remove the meat, break it up in small pieces, season and cover with stock. Thicken with flour. Then pour the mixture in a basin. Make a dough as follows: Two cups flour, one heaping teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, three rounding tablespoons of lard, or butter; mix well together, add enough milk to make a dough that can be shaped with the hands, press into a flat shape and cover the meat in the basin. Bake until done, about half or three-quarters of an hour. Half of the amount of meat and stock will be enough for four people. If all of the meat and stock is used, double the quantities for the dough. If only half of the meat is used, the balance may be made into meat cakes for breakfast or luncheon as follows: Chop the meat, roll three crackers, chop one small onion, salt and pepper to taste, one tablespoon of butter and one egg. Beat the egg without separating, melt the butter, mix all together, make into flat cakes and fry in meat drippings. Russian Patties. One pint of oysters; parboll, strain and reserve liquor; there should be about one cupful. Make a sauce of three tablespoonfuls of butter, four and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, one-half cupful of chicken stock, the half cupful of oyster liquor and one-half cupful of cream, all the yolks of two eggs, one tablespoonful of grated horseradish, two tablespoonfuls of capers, three-quarters of a tablespoonful of lemon juice and from one-half to one level teaspoonful of salt, according to saltiness of oysters. Stir in one saltspoonful each of white pepper and paprika, then add the drained oysters. As soon as the oysters plump and their edges curl fill into patty shells and serve very hot. Spiced Beef. A ten-pound roast beef. Rub into this half a teacup of salt, one tablespoon of black pepper, two tablespoons each of ground allspice and cloves. Then put the beef into a vessel that will fit it. Pour two quarts of vinegar on it, and let it remain in the vinegar one week, turning it every day. Cover tight to keep the flavor in the meat. Then take it out and tie up tight in a clean cloth.

It is with feelings of sadness that the Colorado Statesman chronicles the demise of Stephen Kountze, which occurred Friday, April 21, 1911, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Holmes, 2139 Curtis street, which place he had called home for a number of years. Mr. Kountze was born in Frederick, Md., in 1848 and at the time of his death was in his 63rd year. He died of a complication of diseases. His funeral took place Sunday afternoon from his late residence, services being conducted by Rev. Father Brown of the Church of the Redeemer. Many beautiful flowers covered his bier, the gifts of sorrowing friends. The managers of the Brown Palace hotel where he had been employed for 18 years, not only sent beautiful flowers, but attended the sad, solemn obsequies in a body. His many sorrowing friends were present and many tears were shed, as they listened to the solemn ceremony. The deceased counted his friends by the score. Peace to his ashes. Interment was at Riverside ceemtery. SPECIAL BILL AT WEST BROS. SUNDAY, APRIL 30TH.

"For Sweet Charity's Sake," May Flower Carnival May 4, 1911, East Turner Hall. DR. CARLIN FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR. Dr. P. V. Carlin, president of the Denver Board of Education, is a candidate for re-election as school director. Dr. Carlin has served on the board for seven years and is honest, upright and one of the best and most efficient men who ever served as a member of the board. He is a good friend of the poor people and the betterment of the conditions for the poorer classes and especially the colored people. Dr. Carlin stands for things progressive in educational lines, he advocates larger playgrounds for the children of our public schools, for better work in manual training, for the trade school where a poor boy or girl has a chance to learn a trade and become a wage earner and good citizen. This in itself would be a great thing for the colored people of this city. For these and many other reason the Colorado Statesman gives its hearty support to Dr. Carlin. Remember the election is Monday, May 1st. Mr. A. T. Kerr will give a concert at one of our local churches next month, of which will appear in next week's issue as to what church it will be held.

As a member of the committee on interstate commerce he already has done some work on a bill to reorganize the interstate commission, increasing its membership and dividing it into five parts, these parts to have jurisdiction respectively over sections of the country corresponding to the traffic divisions as designated by the railroads. It is not certain that the scheme for reorganization of the interstate commerce commission will be advanced beyond the preliminary stage at this extra session. With respect to the subject first mentioned, however, it is the intention to introduce a bill within a short VICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN'S fondness for mixing with the crowd, talking politics with his old cronies in the house and a general dislike for formality, especially when the formality is a prolonged affair, almost disarranged the White House plans for the New Year reception. Mr. Sherman was the first man received by the president. The vice-president then became a member of the president's receiving party. The presiding officer of the senate continued to bow sweetly as long as possible, and then quietly stepped into the line of guests which had already passed the president and walked out to the east room, where there were hundreds of politicians of various brands. The vice-president was having a fine time when he was interrupted by Capt. Archibald Butt, the president's military aid. "Mr. Vice-President," said Captain Butt, "you have been missed from the receiving line. Permit me to escort you back in time to receive the diplomats." "So long, boys," said the vice-president, waving his hand to his old cronies in the house. "See you later." Diplomat after diplomat passed the "YOU can take two friendly boys and bump their heads together until one of them will lose his temper and then you will have a fight," said a high-up official of the United States. "The same rule applies to nations. This talk about a prospective war between the United States and Japan if kept up for a few years will inevitably produce war between the two countries. It ought to be stopped, and stopped now. "There ought to be some way of influencing punishment on persons who indulge in this war talk when there is not the slightest foundation for it. The newspapers are not primarily responsible for this talk. I do think, however, that they ought to quit giving it publicity." Some persons have recently made ENCOURAGING reports are being received by the Smithsonian institution from the naturalists who are taking part in the biological survey of the Panama canal zone, which was organized by the institution last winter. The principal branches of natural history are represented in the party, which includes seven experienced field naturalists, nearly all of them from the scientific bureaus of the government. Naturalists throughout the world are greatly interested in this biological survey, because when the canal is opened sweeping changes probably will take place in the distribution of the animals and plants. A part of the fresh water streams of the isthmus now empty into the Atlantic ocean and others into the Pacific. It is known that a certain number of animals and plants in the streams on the Atlantic side differ from those of the Pacific side, but as no biological survey has ever been undertaken the extent and magnitude of these differences have yet to be learned. time and to do as much work on it as possible in committee during the summer. Hearings may be held and as an indication of Senator Cummins' intention to keep his committee busy, the first thing he did after reaching Washington the other day was to move his quarters in the senate office building from the northwest corner to the southeast corner, immediately adjoining the room allotted to the committee on civil service and retrenchment. For years, until Mr. Cummins became chairman, this committee had been one of the "do-nothing" committees of the senate. In the last congress it held hearings on the proposition to provide for the retirement and pensioning of superannuated employees of the various government departments. It now is proposed to embrace the civil service classification and the promotion and retirement features in one comprehensive measure. There is no intention, it is understood, of assailing the executive branch of the government through the proposition to designate by law the positions that shall be filled under the civil service rules. It is designed, however, to make the rules more rigid and to prevent in the future the excepting of certain places from the application of the rules by executive order. HELLO JIM I'M GOING OUT WITH THE CANC - THEY DON'T NEED ME IN THERE president, and behind them the vice-president saw an endless line of gold braid adorning the breasts of countless officers of the army and navy stationed in Washington. "Those fellows don't want to see me for anything," said the vice-president, as he slipped back into the east room. Half an hour later, while the vice-president was exchanging the compliments of the season and telling and hearing stories, he was again accosted by Captain Butt. "I have been looking all over the White House for you," said the military aid. "Well, here I am," remarked "Sunny Jim." slapping Butt on the back. "What do you want this time?" "President Taft's party is ready to go to luncheon," said the captain, "and we are waiting for you to escort Mrs. Taft." the suggestion that it might not be improper for congress to start an investigation with a view to ascertaining why this talk of hostilities between the United States and Japan continues. It is pointed out that such an investigation ought to reveal whether as a matter of cold fact there is any basis for the stories that are constantly put in circulation. For nearly four years this talk has gone on here at the capital, and naturally has spread to other sections of the country. President Taft has recently found it necessary to invite the ambassador of the Japanese empire to the White House and assure him personally that the administration is in no way responsible for the war talk that has recently been indulged in, and to reiterate to him that the United States has only the kindiest feelings for Japan. During the last month many stories, circumstantial in character, have been passed around here tending to show that Japan is preparing to fight this country. Every one of them on investigation has been found to be baseless. HOW STRANGE It also is of great importance to science to determine the geographical distribution of the various organisms inhabiting these waters, as the isthmus is one of the routes by which the animals and plants of South America have entered North America and vice versa. When the canal is completed the natural distinctions now existing will be obliterated, while by the construction of the Gatun dam a vast fresh water lake will be formed, which will drive away or drown the majority of the animals and plants now inhabiting the locality and might exterminate some of the species before the scientific experts had a chance to study them. FROSTING FOR CAKES FROSTING FOR CAKES FULL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS OF MAKING IT RIGHT. Success Depends Mainly on Steady and Brisk Whipping—How Icing Is Colored and Applied for Decoration. Take some paper; parchment or a sheet of very thin notepaper, and rolling it into the shape of a funnel, pin it together, cutting off the lower end just above the bottom. Make frosting as follows. Put whites of four eggs into a bowl and whip them with a strong whip or whisk until they are dry. The success of the frosting depends entirely on the steady and brisk whipping between additions of sugar. Add one tablespoon of confectioner's sugar, which has been carefully sifted, and whip briskly for three minutes, then add another tablespoon of sugar and whip as before. After third tablespoon has been added, add half teaspoon of lemon juice and whip briskly again. Continue this process until mixture is stiff enough to hold in any form. The iceing should now be divided into as many parts as there are colors, and each portion colored delicately to the desired shade. Care must be taken to mix the paste thoroughly through frosting, as otherwise specks of color will appear in it. Round loaf cakes lend themselves better to decorations than square ones. It should be iceed and put away to stand for at least one hour. The remainder of iceing should be kept covered with a damp cloth. Draw a circle the size of the cake on a piece of paper, and draw any design, such as flowers, figures, etc., on the paper. Perforate design with a pin, thus making a pattern. If paper is firm you may place it upon frosted cake, rough side of paper on cake, rubbing gently so that pin pricks will show in frosting, or you may place paper on cake and sprinkle over it a little finely powdered charcoal so that when paper is taken off the pattern is left on cake. Then take the funnel and partly fill it with icing of desired color. Fold the top of funnel over icing, so that none of the icing will flow over top of funnel when contents are being forced out of the bottom. Holding funnel in one hand, move it along the lines of the designs, using the other hand to squeeze icing on pattern. It is a good idea to always begin in center and work outward. Venetian Eggs. Put into the pan two tablespoonfuls of butter and a tablespoonful of finely chopped onion. Add a bit of bay leaf, and, if desired, a half blade of mace. As soon as the onion has colored, remove bay leaf, mace and add a cupful and a half strained tomato, a quarter cupful of cheese cut in small pieces, a teaspoonful of salt, a salt spoonful of paprika and three eggs slightly beaten. Cook until the eggs are of a creamy consistency, stirring constantly and scraping from the bottom of the pan, then pour over slices of delicately toasted bread. Grapefruit Glasses. Nothing is more annoying in the morning when one has to bolt one's breakfast in a hurry than to find the grapefruit sliding all over the saucer. Pretty grapefruit glasses may be bought which are just large enough to hold a half of the fruit. Some of them are in plain glass, with the regular straight-cut top, while others have a rolling top of tinted glass. These last are pretty if the tinted portion matches the design in the breakfast china. Braised Steak. One pound and a half of round steaks of medium thickness. Spread on meat board and pound flour into it, first on one side and then on the other, until you can get no more into it. Place in a hot buttered pan long enough to sear quickly on both sides. Then pour in a little water (hot), cover closely and stand on back of stove to simmer for two hours. See that water is kept in the pan so that the meat does not cook dry, but it must cook slowly. If done according to directions it will almost "melt in your mouth." Russian Apple Pie. Peel and core eight large apples, put into a baking dish with a little water and bake until tender. Press through a sieve into a large bowl and set aside to cool and chill. Add threequarters of a cup of sugar and the whites of four or five eggs beaten stiff, with a few grains of salt and a little lemon juice and grated peel to season. Beat this mixture until very white and light, turn into a buttered dish and bake about 20 minutes. Serve hot with sugar and cream. Won't Stick to the Pan. In baking cakes, gems and other things which are apt to come out of the pan rough or torn at the bottom, try cooling the bottom of the pan quickly on ice or on a cloth soaked with cold water.

Turn Over a New Leaf By subscribing for THIS PAPER New News of Yesterday by E. J. Edwards Famous Political Blunder Rounded Out His Career How David Bennett Hill Tried to Keep Judge Maynard Out of Contest in Which He Was Defeated. WHEN the standard biography of David Bennett Hill, former governor of New York and United States senator, and once a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, is written, it will contain a letter which has now for 16 years been kept in Governor Hill's safe in Albany. It will be an extraordinary revelation with respect to a most dramatic incident in Governor Hill's career. It will put him in absolutely new light upon a matter for which he was subjected to the severest criticism. In order that there may be good understanding of it, it will be necessary to repeat some political history. In the last year of Hill's term as governor of New York—1890—a very close election took place in the state. For some days there was doubt whether or not the Republicans had secured a majority in the state senate. In any event, the majority would be a very small one, possibly no greater than one vote. The issue at last centered upon the election of a senator in Dutchess county, of which Poughkeepsie is the county seat. There were strong suspicions that the returns had been tampered with, and that the correct returns would show that the Republican candidate for senator had been elected. The matter was taken to the courts, and Justice Edgar M. Cullen, now chief justice of the New York court of appeals, and a Democrat, decided that the Republican returns were the correct ones, and issued a mandamus to the state canvassing board to accept these returns. But through what many regarded as the interference of another justice, Isaac H. Maynard, the returns thus mandamused were not sent to the state canvassing board. Instead, the Democratic returns were sent, and of course, these being the only ones before the state board, they were compelled to declare the Democratic senator elected. In that way the Democratic party secured control of the senate, and Governor Hill was severely criticised because he seemed to support Judge Maynard, certainly because he did not, when the facts became known, take action looking to President Arthur Was Pleased to Make Frank Hatton Happy by Giving Him the Position of Postmaster General. In the latter part of President Arthur's administration Frank Hatton became postmaster general, thereby gaining the distinction of being the youngest cabinet officer since Alexander Hamilton; he was only thirty-eight when he became a member of Arthur's official family. A native of Ohio and the son of a newspaper man, he served through the civil war, attaining the rank of first lieutenant. Then he moved to Iowa, took an active interest in politics, and finally became editor-in-chief of the Burlington Hawkeye. In 1881 he became assistant postmaster general, and after he left the cabinet he again became a newspaper editor, first in Chicago and then of the Washington Post. His death occurred in 1894. A few days before Mr. Hatton's appointment as postmaster general was sent to the senate. President Arthur received me one morning at the White House. After we had been talking about half an hour he glanced at the clock. "I have an appointment now with Frank Hatton," he explained. "I like Frank very much; he has been a most competent assistant postmaster general. I have been told that out in Iowa he is looked upon as a very clever politician. I expect to have an interesting talk with him. And after it is over I want to see you again." Half an hour later I was once more with the president. I found him signing executive documents—a large pile of them had been placed upon his desk. He continued to sign while he talked. "Do you think Frank Hatton would make a good postmaster general?" the president asked me as soon as he saw the door leading to the outer offices shut. I replied that I hadn't the slightest doubt of it, adding that the appointment would certainly be a very popular one with the newspaper correspondents in Washington, of whom I was one. "Frank is very ambitious to serve as postmaster general," the president went on. "As you know, I have transferred General Gresham to the treasury department, and that leaves a vacancy in the postoffice department. Gresham told me that Frank Hatton would regard his career as complete if he could serve as postmaster gen- He Outwitted the Speaker He Outwitted the Speaker wards the possible impeachment of Maynard. Three years later the state of New York was to elect a member of the highest court, and Judge Maynard was nominated by the Democrats. It was the common impression that Mr. Hill, who at that time was United States senator, had forced the nomination, and when Judge Maynard was beaten by a hundred thousand majority, this defeat was regarded all over the country as a criticism more of Hill than of Maynard. The real facts are now narrated for the first time, and they follow: Senator Hill reported to some of his friends that Richard Croker had said that Maynard, if nominated, could be elected. The friends replied: "Croker is mistaken; he cannot be elected." "I will make further investigation," said the senator, "and having done that. I will consult with my colleague, Senator Murphy." The latter had been elected senator through the capture of the Democratic legislature in the manner above described. Meeting his colleague in Washington some time later, Senator Hill said: "The general impression in New York is that if we nominate Maynard he will be defeated." How Congressman Belford of Colorado, Long Ignored by J. Warren Kelfer, Finally Won Recognition by Clever Ruse. 0 NE of the quaintest of the personalities who came from the re- motor west to Washington in the early eighties was James B. Belford of Colorado. He was a Republican, and when first elected was the only congressman from that state. His beard was very red and his hair was a brilliant shock of red. His complexion matched his hair and beard. He possessed a voice unlike that of any other member of congress. It was a veritable Boonerges voice. It was like the fundamental diapason of an organ. Judge Belford gained many friends by reason of his quaint and original personality. eral, even though that service would be only for a few months." The president paused in his work of writing his signature and turned towards me with a characteristic very charming and kindly smile. "Frank has been here this morning at my request. I saw during our conversation that he would be overjoyed if his name were added to the list of the country's postmaster generals. You know, we have had quite a number of printers who have served in that office—Benjamin Franklin, Amos Kendall, Montgomery Blair and Thomas L. James. I have heard that Horace Greeley would have been very happy if he had been appointed postmaster general. And Frank Hatton is a printer. "Well, I have made up my mind to appoint Frank Hatton to the post. It will not be a political appointment; it will be in the nature of a personal appointment, one to give pleasure to the recipient. And I never saw a haplier expression on a man's face than I did a little while ago when I intimated to Frank that if he would accept I would send his name to the senate for postmaster general."

One day he lost his temper. The object of his wrath was a dog belonging to the wife of one of his superior officers. "You ought to be ashamed to say such things, and to lose your temper with an animal," she said, while the big sergeant looked shamefaced and anxious. "I shall report your language." "To—to her, ma'am?" faltered the penitent soldier. "To my husband," said the lady. "Do so, ma'am," said the culprit, cheerfully. "I well deserve it. I was only fearing you meant to tell my wife." For Chinese Students. A hall of residences for Chinese students is the latest educational movement in London. The hall will absorb a large number of the 300 Chinese students who are at present resident in England and Scotland. When they come to London they almost inevitably got into medicore lodgings and obtain an unfavorable view of British life. It is to prevent them taking back to China a wrong impression of western civilization that the hall of residence is being established. "We have got to nominate him, and in my opinion he will be elected," retorted Murphy. Again Hill made an investigation, and became definitely satisfied that Maynard would be overwhelmingly defeated. He therefore determined to write Maynard. The senator began the letter to Maynard by saying: "I am about to write a letter which will give me more pain than any I have written since I entered public life. I am going to tell you frankly that in my opinion, in the opinion of practically the entire bar of New York state, and a majority of the Democratic leaders, you cannot be elected. I would therefore suggest to you that you, in some discreet and satisfactory way, make it known that you must not be considered as a candidate for the court of appeals bench." . Judge Maynard received this letter by messenger. In due time that messenger returned to Senator Hill with this reply: "Judge Maynard says that he can afford to be defeated by the people, but he cannot afford to be humiliated by his party. He therefore will not withdraw, but will insist upon his nomination." "Very well," replied Senator Hill. "If he insists, I have no doubt his nomination will be made. But I am afraid he will regret it." And regret his action Maynard surely did. Rights Reserved.( (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All For some time after he came to congress Judge Belford was silent, being disposed to familiarize himself with the proceedings of the house. At last he began to rise regularly in his place soon after the session began each noon and call in a booming voice: "Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker!" Soon the regularity with which Judge Belford arose and bawled "Mr. Speaker!" was a recognized incident of the house, and one which occasioned much merriment. But cry aloud as he might, Judge Belford failed to catch Speaker J. Warren Keifer's eye for weeks; and when finally he did gain recognition of the chair the manner in which he did so was published far and wide. But the explanation of how Judge Belford came to employ the ruse that led to his being recognized has hitherto remained unpublished. I had the story direct from Judge Belford a few days after he had been recognized. "That was a very skillful ruse you employed to compel the speaker to recognize you," I said to the Colorado congressman. "After the first few times I had failed to catch his eye, I made up my mind that I would call 'Mr. Speaker!' every day until the end of congress if I had to, in order to gain recognition," said Judge Belford. "I felt sure that soner or later I would catch the speaker's ear and eye. It was getting to be a somewhat tiresome repetition, however, and finally I asked a friend what else I could do to gain my object. "His answer was that if I wanted to be recognized I should go to the speaker before a session began and get him to promise to recognize me, else the speaker would 'see' congressmen all about and around me without once 'seeing' me. But I answered that I'd be hanged if I'd go on my knees to the speaker and beg as a privilege what I should have as a right. "Then my friend suggested that the next time I called 'Mr. Speaker!' I announce at the same time that I rose to a question of personal privilege; then the speaker would be compelled, under the rules of the house, to recognize me. "Well, that suggestion tickled me, so next morning just after the session had begun I called out, as you know, at the top of my voice, 'Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of personal privilege.' That fetched him at once; he had to ask me what the question of personal privilege was. "Right there I came pretty near to being floored, for I hadn't prepared myself with any question of personal privilege. For a moment or two I didn't know for the life of me what to say, but I got my wits back as quickly as they had gone, and I shouted: 'Mr. Speaker, since I have been a member of this house I have annexed everything—good, bad and indifferent—there is in Washington excepting the speaker's eye. Now, I ask for an explanation of why that alone has escaped me.'" "I knew the next instant that I had triumphed. Everybody in the house shouted with laughter; the speaker himself could hardly maintain a grave appearance. I stood there waiting for the merriment to subside, and when it was over the speaker said: 'The chair recognizes the gentleman from Colorado.' There was great applause. I then offered my little resolution and took my seat." After he retired from congress Judge Belford became a member of the highest court of Colorado, and died some two years ago, greatly respected.

Child's Plain Hat Girl's simple Hat HERE is a very nice idea for a child's plain hat—one that would be exceedingly useful for school or morning wear and would stand a great deal of knocking about. If you are making the girlie a set of little linen or cotton dresses for the coming summer, you could not do better than save the cuttings from them, and let her have a hat to match each dress. The cost of them will be practically nothing, and she will be sure to look nice when her hat and dress "go with" one another. It may be made up in any size, taking measures from a hat that fits. The Materials: Almost any fairly stout fabric is suitable for this hat—silk, satin, velvet, cloth, linen, casement cloth or galatea. You will also need a yard of buckram for each hat—white or black, according to the color of the material—and $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard of ribbon to make the bow which trims the front. If you want to be very economical, you can make the bow from one-half yard of flowered muslin, wiring it all round the edge, so that it stands up smartly. The Cutting: Double the material. Cut from a double circle, from 13 to 14 inches across, according to the size of brim you want. Cut out a small triangular-shaped wedge at the back of the brim (see No. 1), bring the cut edges together, seaming them neatly on the wrong side. Now take one of the child's old hats, and measure across the place where the crown and brim join, laying your tape inside the hat, just at the point where the lining is stitched in. Take a pair of compasses, set it up exactly in the center of the cut material, and trace with if: First, one circle according with the measurements of the old hat; second, one circle $1\frac{1}{2}$ inch further towards the edge of the material. Now cut a circle of single material measuring 14 to 16 inches across for the crown, and a double piece 2 inches deep and Wide Variety, and Styles Show Many Changes From Those That Have Been Worn. Cuban heels thinned down a bit from the more substantial heels of a season ago, distinguish all street footwear of the ultra sort, while heels of early French periods, with upward-turning toes, are the preferred sort for the dress slipper. In contrast to the checked-topped shoes there are to be seen occasional spats of white or castor color worn over black or brown shoes, or over those of antelope-finished calf, which is a more practical walking shoe than the patent-vamp article. In summer ties there are also examples of cloth and leather combinations and those in which suede and polished leather are combined. In dress slippers there are most expensive trifles in lace and in cut-work over pale-toned silks or satins.—Harper's Bazar. The newest hand bags are quite small, doubtless in contrast to the mammoth ones we have been carrying. The favorite shape is oblong, about 7 inches wide and 5 deep. The special favorites for spring are in colored leather, in shades of mauve, apricot, blue, violet and red. They usually carry on the outer flap three small initials in gold or in a darker shade than the leather. Covering the Pillows. When making you new couch pillows if the ticking is well coated with beeswax or paraffin on the wrong side, the feathers will not come through. Coat the fabric by rubbing the wax in with a hot iron. For All-Round Wear. Given a well-fitting tailored suit of fashionable cut and a dressy waist of one of the desirable veiled modes, and one may consider herself well-dressed (and really be so) for a considerable number of quite different occasions. shaped as shown in the illustration for the head-band. Cut the brim and head-band again in buckram, making the buckram pieces just a shade smaller than the material ones. Cut out a wedge at the back of the buckram brim, and draw the open edges together by long herring-bone stitches. This will make the brim turn down into mushroom shape. The Making: Lay the two parts of the brim together with their right sides touching. Seam them together at the wrong side. Cut away all the material that is enclosed in the smaller circle. Turn the brim to the right side. Slip into it the buckram, and hold all together by a double row of machine stitching round the edge. Now take a pair of sharp scissors, and split up the inner edge of the brim to the line of the second circle, as shown in the illustration No. 1. Bend back the split pieces, so that they stand up, and the brim turns down over the child's face. Join the double headband over the buckram; so that the stiffening is hidden between folds of material. Pin this upright on the brim, so that its lower edge rests on the line of the second circle, and the split pieces are all inside the band. Sew the band very firmly to the split pieces, so that they hold it upright. Gather the crown round its edge, and draw it up to fit round the head-band at the place where the band joins the brim. Pull the fulness into pretty folds, and then sew down the crown very firmly all round, so that, from the outside, the head-band cannot be seen at all. Fold a piece of ribbon round the hat, to hide the join of the crown and brim, and finish it with a large bow at the front. Line the hat with sarcenet or thin silk. Draw up the lining with a narrow string inside the crown. Sew on a piece of elastic, which passes under the chin and holds that hat in place.
