C., April 25.—An institution national in character, and which merits a place in any discussion of the higher commercial endeavors of the Negro people is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, with headquarters at Durham, N. C., the thriftiest Negro center in the "Old North State." The article by Dr. Booker T. Washington in a recent issue of the New York Independent, calling attention to the manifold attractions of Durham, and the contrast afforded by the disasters that have befallen a number of unsound racial enterprises throughout the country, emphasize in no uncertain way the commercial solidity represented by the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. To refer to this association in these columns at this time is to pay a tribute to the worth of men who succeeding because they are doing business on a firm basis and to sound a note of encouragement to the masses, that they may not be discouraged by reason of the failures that have come to other concerns that neglected to properly safeguard the interests of their investors. The abstract of the Association's report for the year ending December 31, 1910, discloses a volume of business that should be a source of pride to every healthy-minded Negro in the land, and of which the leaders of the movement have every reason to be proud. The books for the year show a total of business done amounting to $245,238, an increase of $25,138 over the previous year. The association was organized in 1899, and the first year's business amounted to $840. The next year it was $1,265; Each year the Association has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth, until the highwater mark in 1911 has been reached, with evidences that there is no limit to the possibilities that the future holds out. With the enormous sum of $327,896.53 carried forward for the year, as shown in the report to the Actuary of the Insurance Department of the state of North Carolina, and an expense account of $232,361.20 paid, there remains the healthy balance of $93,535.22 the association's credit. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is directed by the most reliable colored men in the South. They have character, brains and business acumen of the highest order. They enjoy the confidence and esteem of both races. Their methods are the cleanest and their credit is gilt-edged. The official roster is as follows: John Merrick, president and founder; A. M. Moore, M. D. secretary and treasurer; C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager. Directors: John Merrick, A. M. Moore, M. D., C. C. Spaulding, E. R. Merrick, J. M. Avery and J. H. Garner. NAMED CITY TREASURER Topeka, Kan., April 25.—John M. Wright, the present Deputy County Treasurer, has been chosen City Treasurer of Topeka. His selection was made last week at a meeting of the City Commission, three Democrats—Mayor J. B. Billard and Commissioners P. Miller and E. W. Statts voting for him, and two Republicans—Commissioners Tandy and Boone, favoring the selection of a female applicant. Mr. Wright is one of the most highly respected Negroes in the West. He has been in politics for a number of years and will soon finish his term as Deputy County Commissioner of Shawnee County. For four years he was County Clerk, and also filled a term as Deputy County Clerk. During the recent primaries Mr. Wright ran on the Republican ticket for County Treasurer of Shawnee County and was defeated. The municipal affairs of Topeka are conducted under a commission form of government and at the election on April 4, a commission was elected composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. Although Mr. Wright is a dyed-in-the-wool Republcian the Democrats agreed on his selection as City Treasurer, while the Republicans voted for a white female applicant. The Democrats say that in choosing Mr. Wright they considered fitness and character and State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO ignored the question of political affiliation. ALBUOUERQUE NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Mathews are new arrivals from Colorado Springs. The Mt. Olive Baptist church will Raptise four young converts next Sunday afternoon at their edifice. All friends are cordially invited to be present at these services. Woman's Day in Albuquerque will be duly observed. The A. M. E. church has always provided the citizens with a well rendered program, equal to the occasion. The much noted Williams Jubilee singers did not appear here as advertiseb, too many other attractions in the city on the evening of their engagement, caused their audience to be too small for them to appear and the money was returned to those present. Rev. W. H. Prince, the efficient presiding elder of this district was a welcome visitor in our city, last Sunday. He preached interesting sermons at morning and evening services at the A. M. E. Church The Reverand left the following day for Arizona points. Tom Hubbel for twelve years sheriff of Bernalillo Co., committed suicide last week, after suffering for several months with an incurable case of brights disease. Every citizen in our city mourns the loss of this good and great man. He had not an enemy in the city that he knew of, he was kind and just to all regardless of race or creed. His successors will do well to follow his wise example to their constituency as he never forgot to give political patronage to worthy supporters, we know these facts to be true as ye humble correspondent was the first Negro that he gave appointment to, as court bailiff, which he held successfully for two years. Peace be to the ashes of Tom Hubbel. Rev. J. W. Rodgers pastor of the A. M. E. Church of this city is distinguishing himself as a christian gentleman, a scholar and a deep thinker. He has a pleasing delivery and his sermons are always interesting and not one of us can afford to miss a sermon, his doctrine's sound in principle, teaching every thing that is for the betterment of his race as he seems to have a peculiar knowledge of the needs of his congregation. Rev. Rodgers has made a high standard while in our city, as to just what the walks and life of a christian minister should be. He believes in precept and example, which is a very good guide for the layman. He is doing much good in our city in its uplift. The congregation loves their pastor and his esteemable wife. ALL THE "WHITE HOPES" INVITED New York, April 18—A general invitation to all pugilistic "white hopes" to gather for a tournament at the National Sporting club of America, in this city, Friday, May 26, was issued tonight. The invitation is addressed to all white men weighing over 190 pounds and standing six feet high who aspire to the world's champion now held by Jack Johnson. It is hoped by the promoter that the tournament will bring to light some man of ability who, with proper training could take the title from Johnson. LOS. ANGELES NEWS. (From Richmond Planet) Mr. Whitley, an active member of the Afro-American Counsel, held a conspicuous place by leading the parade on the evening of April 17th. It seems recently there has been a great effort made by the labor union to accept the Negro. Now as the crisis is about to come he is anxious to use his black brother for a convience. We trust that the Negro men of our city will not all be led into a trap by our so-called politicians. It is better to walk and be a man than to ride and be a monkey. On boarding a West Adams Street car a few days ago I sat in the front open end of the car and continued to smoke my cigar. I occupied a seat by an ordinary looking white man. When he realized he was sitting by a Negro he arose from his seat and said: "We don't ride with niggers in Texas." This, of course, embarrassed me for a few moments, when suddenly a white woman of about forty five years of age asked me to move over, that she might share the seat with me, and when she had comfortably seated herself another narrow-minded white man touched the lady on the shoulder and said, "I will exchange seats with you." Thank you," she said "this seat is all right." "We don't allow darkies to ride with white women in my county," he replied." The lady then raised her head and replied gently: "I am well acquainted with the colored people, and I will trust them further than I will you." This was a blow to the Texas friend and he got off the car at next corner. Yours truly, A. D. LACEY. RACE NEWS Rev. B. F. Watson, formerly noted as the singing preacher, but more recently secretary of the church extension of the A. M. E. church, is prominently mentioned for Bishop. A memorial to Paul Lawrence Dunbar is to be erected at Tuskegee Institute by the school teachers of Dayton, Ohio. A committee composed of Superintendent Brown, Miss Campbell, Mr. Wm.

But thanks to conditions, we have again proven that a Negro is not guilty or proven so, simply because he is accused by one of the white race, and that we may get justice at the hands of a jury composed of all white men.

So far the girls have won a victory and heads of families have been defeated in their oppo- Cambridge, Mass., April 18. Theodore Cable, a Negro student in Harvard, is looked upon by the varsity coaches as the most promising of the new material developed this year. He won the 16 pound hammer throw at the annual spring meet yesterday, with a heave of 144 feet and 10 inches, and is regarded as a sure winner in all the meets this spring, up to the intercollegiates, where the students figure his chances for first are good. Washington, April 25. A billion dollars is the modest sum that Elbert Robinson, a Chicago Negro, seeks to collect in the United States Court of Claims. The government is otherwise made defendant in a suti he has, brought because of alleged infringements on patents on an electrical signal system he alleges were granted to him. The Negro will argue his own case. Jackson, Miss., A Negro planter in Mississippi, who does not wish his name disclosed has just given to Campbell College, a large Negro institution here, maintained by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a large tract of land in Coahoma County, valued at $7,000, the income of which is to go for the maintenance of poor, but worthy students. This is probably the largest gift made by a Southern Negro for the education of his people. The news of the acquital of Alec Mann, the Pullman porter (who was on trial for an indecent assault on a 13-year-old white girl) was gladly received by many residents of the Twin Cities. Many had expressed their belief in his innocence, but it was a case where passion and prejudice would most NO 3 likely predominate, and the outcome looked unfavorable. But thanks to conditions, we have again proven that a Negro is not guilty or proven so, simply because he is accused by one of the white race, and that we may get justice at the hands of a jury composed of all white men. --- West Chester, Pa., April 24. There was a strike of colored girls in the vicinity of Kenntt Square, where a large number of them are employed. So far the girls have won a victory and heads of families have been defeated in their opposition to the strike. The girls struck for an advance from $3 to $4 a week and board. A week ago nearly all the whites who had been employed by the families of that section went to work in a new snuff mill at an advance of wages, leaving only the colored girls. These asked for more money, and after a meeting the request was made to their employers. As a consequence many of their employers have given the advance. Commissioner Joseph Button, in charge of the Bureau of Insurance, decided last Wednesday to raise the suspension of the license of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, and to permit that order to do business under the personal supervision of that department. He will install his system of bookkeeping and require a rigid conformity to the plans laid down by him. This result was accomplished after weeks of persistent labor on the part of General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome. It was done, too, in the face of the fact that the Order was unable to raise the thirty-seven thousand dollars in cash as required by the Bureau of Insurance. Brunswick, Ga., April 18.—Four thousand dollars, thought to be part of the $10,000 stolen from a registered mail pouch between Tampa and Clearwater, Fla., on March 23, was taken from John Anderson, arrested yesterday. Two weeks ago $4180 was recovered in the yard of H. H. Horace of Brookville, Fla. Horece says he and Anderson found the $10,000 in a stump into which a dog had chased a rabbit. The stump is near the home of J. J. Abbott, a railroad mail clerk, who is now under bond to await action of the grand jury. A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

A list of the expenditures of the assembly follows: Total printing, $66,000. Salaries and per diem, $150,000. Speaker for official and semi-official purposes, $500. Checking and compiling Senate and house journals, $3,000. Supplies and incidentals, $12,500. Wilford investigation, $753.70. All improvement benefits, which the present law allows to those who lease state lands when the lands are sold to others, are wiped out in a bill by Senator Cary which passed the Senate. In the House. The House passed on third reading the bank guaranty bill with the Texas mutual provision. Passed on third reading the Carpenter reservoir bill, protecting rights of reservoirs against junior ditches. Killed the anti-pass bill, one of the platform pledges. Passed on second reading the long appropriation bill, providing for the expenditure of $1,500,000 by the executive department in the next biennial period. Passed three other important bills on second reading providing for a new system of taxing mining property; the creating of Hughes county out of the northern half of Las Animas county and a drastic employers' liability bill, abolishing contributory negligence. Passed in great haste fourteen other bills on second reading and killed a number of unimportant measures. The Carpenter bill, requiring irrigation division engineers to maintain offices in their respective divisions, was passed on third reading in the Senate. The salary for division engineers in the first and second divisions is fixed at $2,500 per year, with $1,000 expenses; in the third, fourth and fifth divisions the salary is $1,500 per year with $500 allowance for expenses. Denver is made headquarters for the first division. Pueblo for the second, Alamosa for the third, Glenwood Springs for the fourth and Montrose for the fifth. In the Senate. The Senate passed eleven bills on third reading, making a total of thirty-seven final enactments in two days. Bills passed on third reading are as follows: S. B. 29, West—To permit district judges to hear cases in chambers at points other than the places where the actions are brought. S. B. 111, Gove—Exempting stenographers from testifying about confidential information received by virtue of their profession. S. B. 141, Cross—Fixing the time for taking the school census between May and February. S. B. 278, Hayden—To permit certificates of record of executive officers as prima-facie evidence in litigation. S. B. 337, Cary—To put county judges of all counties except division B, fourth class, also fifth class counties, on salary instead of fee basis.

B. 390, O'Connell—To fix the terms of District Court in the First judicial district. H. B. 428, Irby—To clear tax titles acquired by the city of Denver through delinquent sales. The old law does not recognize the city and county of Denver as being one. This bill cures that defect with respect to titles from delinquent tax sales. S. B. 522, Hilts, Carringer and Stephan—To prevent by making a felony for anyone to switch appropriations for state institutions to some other use than that for which they were specifically made. S. B. 525, Hilts, Carringer and Stephan—To compel county treasurers to make monthly remittances of state funds to the state treasurer. H.

Carpenter—Authorizing payment of actual expenses incurred by coroners in the investigation of deaths. Van Tilborg—Concerning the publication of delinquent tax lists. Napier — Requiring third class school districts to certify to the county commissioners a list of their needs in order that the school tax levy may be fixed accordingly. Napier—Providing for distribution of money to which various counties of this state are entitled under the agricultural appropriation act of Congress of May 23, 1908 LIVED YEARS WITH INDIANS Mrs. Mathilda Coxe Stevenson One of Most Distinguished Women in Government Service. Of the many distinguished women connected with the government service in every line of science, industry and art, Mrs. Mathilda Coxe Stevenson holds an honored place, not only because of the reverence in which her husband's memory is held, but because of her own faithful and successful work in the field of American ethnology. Mrs. Stevenson has devoted nearly 35 years to the scientific investigation of the Indians, making the Zunis her special study. Several years ago she published a massive volume entitled "The Zunis," the most valuable contribution to this branch of Indian lore, and the standard and guide of all who will peruse the subject still more minutely. For more than 20 years Mrs. Stevenson spent months among the children of the forest, and by winning their respect she gained admittance to their secret fraternities, and holds the record of being the first white admitted to these mysterious rites. During the greater part of the year Mrs. Stevenson lives on a ranch about 25 miles from Santa Fe. Here she studies Indian lore and then systematizes results in her reports to the bureau of ethnology. Mrs. Stevenson possesses a fund of entertaining information about the early days of the government's scientific ventures. She is a daughter of the late Alexander Hamilton Evans, a brilliant lawyer of Washington in the antebellum days, and she is a first cousin of Rear Admiral Rohley Evans. She became interested in scientific investigation when she married a scientist, James Stevenson of Kentucky, then connected with the Smithsonian institution, her vocation in that honorable career became assured. After her marriage to Mr. Stevenson, already a recognized scientist, she began the systematic study of all M. Mrs. Mathilda Coxe Stevenson. branches that would prepare her to aid her husband in every branch of the work. She is now making a special study of a branch of the Pueblo Indians known as the Tewa. She makes her ranch near Santa Fe her headquarters and from this point makes excursions into the Indian reservations thereabout. This ranch, called Tonyo, from the giant of the mountains, is the pride of Mrs. Stevenson's heart. She raises fruit and alfalfa, two of the most profitable crops in the southwest. WORK OF 'SUNDOWN DOCTORS' Government Employees Who Practice Medicine After Their Daily Task Is Done. "Sundown doctors" are an institution peculiar to the national capital. They are physicians who practice their profession only after sundown. From 9 in the morning until 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon they are holding down desks in various departments of the Federal government. When their daily task for Uncle Sam is done they take up that pertaining to their profession. There are many sundown doctors in the employ of the government at Washington. In many cases medical students with little means secure clerkships in the departments in order that they may provide themselves with a living while they are finishing their medical courses. Their diplomas thus laboriously acquired, they enter tentatively upon the practice of medicine, holding on, however, to their government jobs until they shall be firmly established professionally. Nor are all sundown doctors mere clerks. Not a few of them hold chiefships of division, a circumstance which of course renders the act of resignation from the government service a still more unlikely event than in the case of a simple clerk. No matter how earnestly a sundown doctor may tell himself that some day he will quit the department service to engage exclusively in the practice of his profession he generally deceives himself. Postal Service Self-Sustaining. Postmaster General Hitchcock says that before the close of another fiscal year the federal postal establishment will become self-sustaining, and that this will be accomplished without curtailing in the slightest the service rendered or lessening in any respect its efficiency. Mr. Hitchcock is also convinced that penny postage for first-class letters is not by any manner of means an iridescent dream. He is almost prepared to say that one-cent postage is now in sight as a practical business proposition. GETS INDIAN RELICS SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE SE- CURES COLLECTION. Four Sacred Packs From Graves of Osage Indians Secured Through Diplomacy—Scalps Attached to Hawk's Mummy. Officials of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution are highly pleased over an addition which they have just made to their collection, and which they regard as one of their choicest treasures. This acquisition comprises four sacred bundles or packs of the Osage Indians, very few of which have ever tion are highly pleased over an addition which they have just made to their collection, and which they regard as one of their choicest treasures. This acquisition comprises four sacred bundles or packs of the Osage Indians, very few of which have ever been obtained by scientists, as they are generally buried with their "keepers." These sacred bundles are just as precious from a religious standpoint to the Indians as they are from a scientific standpoint to the ethnologist, and are extremely hard to obtain. They represent the holiest fetish of a tribe, and so zealously are they guarded from any profanation that they are put in the charge of a special priest or medicine man, who keeps them carefully hidden. At certain periods they are opened and the contents worshiped amid the most elaborate ceremonies, but even at these times only the chosen men of the tribe are allowed to see the strangely assorted articles that are kept in the bundles. These Osage packs differ greatly from any that have been found hitherto, both as to the texture of the various wrappings and also as to the nature of the articles they contain. The bundles were secured for the National museum by Francis La Flesche, an educated Omaha Indian, who is in the employ of the bureau of American ethnology. While at work in Oklahoma he learned of the existence of such bundles and immediately opened negotiations with the Indian to whose care they had been entrusted. After exercising considerable diplomacy he succeeded in persuading the Indian to part with them and brought them to Washington and turned them over to the bureau of ethnology. One of these was opened with much care by Dr. Walter Hough, one of the curators of the National museum. Dr. Hough found the outside wrapping or sack to be made of a rare Indian fabric, woven of the silky brow hair of the buffalo. This was bound with a buckskin band decorated with human scalps, and the leg of an eagle. Inside this was a buckskin bag and inside that a haversack made of a material resembling Chinese matting. In this haversack were a pipe decorated with scalps, a tobacco bag, a braided cord made of woolen fabric and a bundle of buffalo bladders bound with a thong ornamented with scalp, and one other bundle, which was the most important of all, for it represented the "holy of holies." This bundle was a buckskin case, to which was bound a buckskin object resembling a head band. Inside this bundle was found the most sacred object of the pack—the body of a hawk, which had been mummified and then painted a brilliant vermillion and green. Attached to the tail was a circlet of human scalps. The body was suspended by a braided band made of woolen fabrics, which evidently had been obtained by the tribe through trade with other Indians. One of the three other bundles was found to contain the tattooing apparatus and materials used by the Osage Indians, all of which are regarded as sacred, as the tattooing is a religious ceremony. The other two packs were similar to the one described, but the articles each contained were different. After careful examination by Dr. Hough and his assistants the bundle was restored to its proper condition and carefully stored away, but it will be the subject of long study by the ethnologists, who are greatly interested in the industrial accomplishments of the Indians revealed by the contents, as well as in the mystical and symbolical meanings of the pack and the various articles it contains. Was Soldier Fifty-Six Years. Thirty years' service is required in the army for retirement, with double time allowed for foreign service. Nearly twice the required period, not counting foreign double time, was served by David Robertson, who continued in the service 56 years. Three-quarters pay and allowances are awarded to enlisted men on retirement, but in the case of Robertson, he was retired on full pay and allowances of a hospital steward, $113.56 a month. This was accomplished by a special bill passed near the close of congress. Negro Woman. There died in Washington the other day a woman aged 124 years, according to the record of her life history. Her name was Ann Walker, and she was a negro. She was born in Fredericksburg, Va., in 1786, and lived there for nearly three-quarters of a century, coming to Washington in 1865, where she has lived ever since. She had 44 great-grandchildren. One daughter, who is nearly ninety-five years old, lives in Mississippi. SENATE WILL PROBE TRUSTS SUGAR MONOPOLY, WOOL COM BINE, STEEL CORPORATION AND SHOE INDUSTRY. ALSO LORIMER CASE ILLINOIS ELECTION BRIBERY DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE GET ATTENTION Washington. — The investigating trend of Congress took a wide range, when inquiries into the affairs of the United States Steel corporation, the American Sugar Refining Co. and the American Woolen Company, were placed on the programme of the Democratic House; the shoe industry is under fire; and a Senate committee on expenses opened the way for a re-investigation of the charges against Senator Lorimer of Illinois. Resolutions directing that committees search the records to determine whether any of the first three named corporations are operating in violating of the anti-trust, interstate commerce or national banking laws, have been started on the legislative ways. The steel trust resolution, the creation of Representative Stanley of Kentucky, was approved by the House committee on rules and will be reported to the House. Representative Hardwick of Georgia is the author of the resolution providing for inquiry into the American Sugar Refining Company and this will be considered by the rules committee. If the committee has time, it also may consider a similar resolution submitted by Representative Francis of Ohio, directing that a special committee of five be named to inquire into the American Woolen Company Whether there is a trust in wool in this country, is information desired by men interested in the woolen schedule. Opposition to attacking the proposed removal of the duty on shoes, as provided in the free list bill now be fore the House, developed simultaneously in the Senate and House ends of the capitol. While large shoe manufacturers testified to the Senate finance committee they were forced to keep prices high because they were in the grip of a shoe machinery trust, which controlled absolutely every manufacturer of shoes in this country, Representative Weeks on the floor of the House, was praising the concern which owns the patents on all the shoe machinery in the United States. The manufacturers said this trust operates on a different basis with for eign manufacturers from what it does from those in this country, for one thing allowing those abroad to use some of their own machinery. Senator Bailey told the manufacturers that, in his opinion, their contracts with the trust could be proved if legal; that, in spite of the shoe machinery companies' patent rights, he thought their action could be construed as an effort to restrain trade and he said the attorney general might make some trouble for the trust after he had learned of the statements in the hearings. The diplomatic and consular service also may be investigated. Representative Broussard of Louisiana introduced a point resolution to appoint a committee to examine the consular laws and departmental regulations. The resolution, carrying $25,000 for expenses, empowers the committee to hold sessions in foreign lands if necessary. The resolution was referred to the rules committee. It grows out of alleged favoritism in the appointments. Sacred Relics Disturbed. Jerusalem, Palestine.—The inhabitants have been aroused to the point of rioting by the operation of a party of English archaeologists who are accused of having excavated beneath the inviolable Mosque of Omar and removed relics reputed to include the ark of the covenant, the censer and other sacred vessels which belonged to the tribes of Israel. Hackensack, N. J.—Jim Fuey Moya a Chinese physician who lives on a large country estate at Woodcliffe Lake, is under arrest charged with conspiracy to smuggle 100 Chinese into the United States. The arrest was made by a United States marshal on an indictment secured in the United States court. No Change in Kittridge. Hot Springs, Ark.—No change is noted in the condition of former Senator Kitttridge of South Dakota, who is critically ill here. Save He Killed Farm Hand. Says He Killed Fowler, Ind—John Poole, a wealthy farmer living near here, confessed to Sheriff Shackleton that he had killed Joseph Kemper, his farm hand, chopped up the body and afterward buried it in a field near his house. The body was dug up by Poole's son, Emory. Marries His Tenth Wife. Imboden, Ark—Married ten times at the age of 60 is the record of S. J.

BRED THOUSAND DOLLARS have been been a college in South Africa for training nation education to native students. But half of the money was subscribed to South Africa. The plan has been eight years ago.ion is nevertheless gratifying, notwithstanding issues are to be framed with due regard to the native and European student in language and instincts, and in future position in institutions only reveal anew the white man's uproar is a different order of being from the civil, and needs special training or educationary destiny, which, of course, is hedged. It has been proved that human brain matter differs in the contrary, scientists aver that there is the brain capacity of different races of races. It is conceded that the Negro brain was that of the caucasian or any other element, and the world's history does not endowment has always rested upon one kneeding of the intellect, and when they do computing the limitations of the consuming for knowledge, once it is awakened the power of man, unless it is blighted by so severe which man has no control. But some human condition to others than them needs, however, the necessity for improvement for a beginning. Once begun, even in Aptos itself. The englishmen in South Africa, the repayment of an infinitesimal part of the borrowing from the natives the countless and all the other natural resources endowed. But this beginning is only a rite as a vast one, and by the immutable law of by any course short of bankruptcy and their creditors. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS have been subscribed for the establishment of a college in South Africa for training native teachers and giving higher education to native students. A little more than half of the money was subscribed in Europe and the balance in South Africa. The plan has been eight years coming to a head, but its final adoption is nevertheless gratifying, notwithstanding the fact that "the college courses are to be framed with due regard to the difference between the average native and European student in language, in inherited beliefs, prejudices and instincts, and in future position in life." These contemplated restrictions only reveal anew the white man's unchanging conviction that the Negro is a different order of being from the other branches of the human family, and needs special training or education in keeping with his fixed though varying destiny, which, of course, is hedged within an inferior sphere of life. It has never been proved that human brain matter differs in its natural ingredients, but, on the contrary, scientists aver that there is no distinguishable difference in the brain capacity of different races of men, except in a few isolated instances. It is conceded that the Negro brain is capable of as high development as that of the caucasian or any other race. Nature supplies the brain element, and the world's history does not disclose that the supremacy of its endowment has always rested upon one particular race. Education is the kneeding of the intellect, and when the process is once begun, there is no computing the limitations of the consequent intellectual rising. The yearning for knowledge, once it is awakened, stops short of nothing within the power of man, unless it is blighted by some disintegrating order of the ages over which man has no control. But some men do not concede this inevitable human condition to others than themselves. They do concede, however, the necessity for improvement to all men, and that is sufficient for a beginning. Once begun, even in Africa, the problem will take care of itself. The englishmen in South Africa, by this new institution, will begin the repayment of an infinitesimal part of the obligation they have assumed in borrowing from the natives the countless wealth in gold and diamonds and land and all the other natural resources with which South Africa was and is endowed. But this beginning is only a ripple on the ocean. Their obligation is a vast one, and by the immutable law of nature, they cannot escape the duty by any course short of bankruptcy and a turning over of their assets to their creditors. PREJUDICE AND PATRIOTISM. American has never been charged with a crime has left no room for such a charge. The criticised the government for discriminative for oppressive conditions, has never failed The Negro American does not love war THE Negro American has never been charged with a lack of patriotism. The Negro soldier has left no room for such a charge. The civilian, however much he may have criticised the government for discriminative measures, or the people at large for oppressive conditions, has never failed to respond to a patriotic duty. The Negro American does not love war, but he is always ready and willing to fight for his country. We are not entirely able to fathom this patriotic instinct, in the face of its apparent futility. The Negro's patriotism does not win for him any consistent or lasting degree of military glory. It may contribute to the spirit of toleration accorded him in his capacity as a citizen, but the service and the reward are entirely unequal. The Negro's sacrifices as a soldier are unconditional and extend far beyond the patriotic limitations of a white soldier, who offers his life for the triumph of his race and the glory of his posterity. The Negro's military glory is hedged about by prejudice and neither his sacrifices nor his triumphs bring any discernable increase in the measure of his appreciation as a citizen. The army itself contributes to the Negro's shame in this respect. Except in isolated instances, like that of Brigadier-General Burt, he is never given full and insistent praise for his valor. What he gets is spasmodic, perfunctory and fleeting acknowledgement of duty performed, passing acclaim from the populace for glorious service, and then—a sure return to the peace-ruled ranks of the inglorious and proscribed. It is the same with officers as with men, and that is why we say that the army itself contributes to the Negro's shame. When the present mobilization of the regular army in Texas was ordered, the War Department issued invitations to the various state governors to select a certain quota of commanding officers of the militia who, in turn, should be sent to Texas as guests of the army, to witness the maneuvers and thus acquire valuable military knowledge, in accord with the department's far-sighted provisions for possible future contingencies. Among the officers named by the governor of Illinois was Colone! John R. Marshall, commander of the Eighth Illinois Militia regiment, a colored officer who served with distinction in the war with Spain. Under the rule of selection he was one of the first to be sent to Texas from Illinois. Such a visitor must be entertained by a regular officer of equal rank. "Colone! Marshall was assigned to the quarters of the commander of a regiment, a majority of whose officers are Southern whites," says the report, "and with him was assigned a white colonel of militia from North Carolina." The press dispatches say that meals have been served to Colone! Marshall in a separate tent, while other official visitors have messed with the regular officers who are their hosts. Colone! Marshall found himself subject to many other embarrassing indignities, such as military officers especially are supposed to be quick to resent. The question arises—should he have submitted to them. He was a military guest and not under orders. The regular officers alone were amenable to discipline. A scandal in the War Department was averted by Colonel Marshall's acquiescence with the discriminating provisions made, but what a sad precedent he established for the future military honor of his race. Is such a yielding of dignity to prejudice a mark of true patriotism or of actual personal cowardice. Colonel Marshall is undoubtedly a good soldier. But did he fulfill the traditions of a military commander's dignity in this instance? Must patriotism cow to prejudice even in the highest military ranks in the United States? We believe that the Negro soldier should be patriotic, but no more so than is the white soldier. The white soldier sacrifices his patriotism at the command of social prejudice. From West Point on through his career he acknowledges no authority above it, however keen his superiors or however strict their discipline. To him, military dishonor and his country's shame seems less than his own social disgrace through the recognition of a Negro on equal military footing. If there is any recompense for the Negro's patriotism in this condition and prospect, the avenues of military honor must be longer than our vision can compass.

PERMANENT MUSICAL ORGANIZATION On Sunday evening, April 30th, at 8:30 p. m., a number of gentlemen assembled at the Paddock apartments, 1751 Glenarm place, for the purpose of deliberating on the possibility of a permanent musical organization among us. The following were present: Messrs. Dishman, Faulkner, George S. Contee, Curtis, Fallings, Townsend, Russ, Holley and Wetson-Watson. Communications were received from Messrs. Franklin, Captain Campbell, Rivers, Westbrook, Spratlin, Sprague, McCulough, Thomas Williams, De-Frantz, McClain, Harper, Huff, Ealy, Dr. Jones, Thompkins and Caswell, expressing their inability to attend and indorsing the object. The transaction of business resulted in the following appointments: Attorney, W. B. Townsend; president, William Russ; vice-president, Dr Faulkner; secretary, B. C. Curtis; treasurer, Hewetton Watson; director, Watson, and Rankford G. Holley, assistant director and the other names above-mentioned on the directorate. Expressions relative to the moral and financial support of the organization were offered by the gentlemen present and the consensus of opinion was that the time had now become opportune for such an organization. After partaking of light refreshments, the hospitality of Mr. William Russ, the meeting adjourned at 10:45 o'clock to re-assemble Monday evening, the 8th inst., 8:30 o'clock at the office of Dr. Faulkner, 1020 Nineteenth street. It is specially urged that the directors make an effort to be present at this meeting, as business of the utmost importance will be transacted. ATTORNEY N. W. B. TOWNSEND. DR, E. L. FAULKNER, Secretary HOUSES MAY BE FURNISHED IN ARTISTIC STYLE. Special Attention Is Now Being Pald to the Designing of Moderate Priced Fabrics of Every Shade and Color. A woman who is furnishing a recently-built house told a friend that it was now the easiest thing in the world to get furniture covering of the style, the color and the grade preferred, says the New York Sun. "In the store where I placed my order," said she, "there were hundreds of varieties to select, representing almost as many grades of price. As a result I think I will have a very artistic house at relatively small cost." At the store where she shipped a man who has been handling the upholstery goods for 20 years said that manufacturers and retailers now paid special attention to the designing of moderate priced fabrics, for the reason that the demand for them was far ahead of the demand for the cheapest or the costliest. As an illustration he showed jutes, cotton reps, mercerized reps and cotton tapestries, all of which he said are in great demand at this time of the year, which included designs and colors as good as those in high-priced goods. Cotton tapestries, for instance, used extensively for bedrooms and plain living-rooms may be had in nearly any shade of art green, in old Venetian red, old rose, ecru or brown, both self-toned and two-toned. One design in jasper effects showed small French wreaths of old rose on an ecru ground. One of the newest patterns had five-inch long, very narrow bars of champagne or cream color on a green, red or rose background. Some of the jutes look like and feel like oriental fabrics and they cost only from $1 to $2 a yard and are 50 inches wide. The ground color in the most beautiful is champagne, patterned with inch and a half stripes in a tiny flower design done in Persian colors. Between these stripes, which are five inches apart, are small oblongs of Persian colors. Other designs in oval have stripes, wreaths or oblongs of beautifully blended colors on a smoke color, a gray or a cream ground. Some charming French wreath designs are self-toned. The mercerized cotton rep, which like the others is stout, strong and a good wearer and has a silk-like finish, is shown in three wales, the widest nearly a quarter of an inch, and the greens and reds and ecrus are the most effective. New basket weaves and colors distinguish the arras cloths, classed also among the inexpensive upholstery fabrics and more popular perhaps than any for use in dens and studios in town and in foyer halls and living-rooms out of town. Going up the scale, the expert said that woolen rep in plain colors was one of the best wearing and for the time being best liked fabrics for upholstering foyer halls and living-rooms both in and out of New York, the paler greens and yellower ecrus being popular shades. Plain colors are the rule for library, sitting room and parlor, tapestry colors and effects being reserved for drawing rooms and the costlier grades of goods, that is if purchasers want to follow the trend of fashion and the most artistic weaves. Mohair glace is the technical name for what looks like a cross between panne velvet and dull satin, and this is a favorite for parlors and living-rooms and is suitable also for libraries because of its stout qualities. This is of plain colors, very dull green perhaps the favorite. Creamed Dried Beef. Tear the beef, or rather shred or chop it fine, taking out the skin and strips of tallow. Place in heavy spider, add a good tablespoonful of butter and let melt, adding one tablespoonful of flour. Stir, then add slowly, two to two and a half cups of milk, stirring till smooth and thick. Pour over platter of toast. This may be served without toast and with baked potatoes. The quantity of milk used must be determined by the amount of beef you use. The remnants of a boiled ham may be chopped and served in the same way. English Beef Patties Make a good pie paste or rich biscuit dough; roll very thin, as for pie. On half of this thin paste cut small pieces of fresh beefsteak, turnips, carrots, potatoes, onions, small bits of suet and butter, salt and pepper, but no water, as beef makes plenty of juice. Fold other half of paste over this and edge as you would a pie. Bake in slow oven one hour. You can make as many as there are people for dinner. These patties, served with coffee and fruit, are sufficient for a meal. Baked Tapioca Pudding. Five tablespoons of taploca, one quart of milk, two ounces of butter, a cup of sugar, four eggs, flavoring of vanille. Wash the taploca and let stew gently in milk on the back part of the stove for a quarter of an hour, occasionally stirring it, then let it cool. Mix with it the butter, sugar and eggs, which should be well beaten, and flavor with either of the above ingredients. Butter a dish, put in the pudding and bake in a moderate oven for an hour.

Hampton Moore of Philadelphia. He has completed a list of luxuries which shows that the candy con- sumed in a single year represents the cost of a complete chain of canals from Boston to Key West; that the jewelry sold represents twice the cost of building the Panama canal, and that the nickels annually dropped on soda water counters are sufficient to establish a complete inland water- way system. ‘The statistics with which Represent- ative Moore backs his assertions are colossal. They represent his investt- gation into the reason for the high cost of living, and prove that the in- dividual himself is in a large meas- ure responsible for the decline of the dollar’s value. According to Mr. Moore, the boys eee eee ut ing the general results of the 1909 census for establishments en- gaged in the manufacture of woolen and worsted goods has just been Is- sued by the director of the census, EB. Dana Durand. Although the number of establish- ments has decreased, denoting a ten- dency toward concentration, which has been the rule in the wool manu- facturing industry since 1870, on the other hand the amount of capital re- ported as invested shows an increase from $256,554,000 in 1899 to $415,465.- 000 in 1909, or 62 per cent. during the decade. The cost of materials used increased 85 per cent. and the amount paid in salaries and wages 58 per cent. The number of salaried off clals and clerks increased but 47 per cent. and the number of wage earn- ers only 29 per cent. The value of products increased from $238,745,000 in 1899 to $419,826,- 000 in 1909, or 76 per cent. The ‘greater part of this increase took ‘place during the second half of the decade; in fact, the increase of over /$100,000,000 in the five years since 1904 is far greater than that of any ‘decade prior to 1900 in the history of the industry. if Hey VE (THINK THERE] ! ales SS UDR CAN BE Quite EAB Bs i OT. SAVING Jus Teens & * HERE CI vee ~ © Bi wa Da] ES od ex ee Te economy and efficiency board is beginning to get results. It bas reached a point in its labors where it thinks it foresees where a million dol- lars may be saved during the first year of its existence, At present it is devoting its atten- tons largely to the item of traveling expenses of government employees and to the duplication of work in the de- partments. The president and the mem- bers of his cabinet were surprised to learn from this board that the travel- ing expenses charged against the treas- ury last year aggregated about $12,- 000,000. Just how much this enormous sum can be reduced without trippling the public service in the least is still a question, but the members of the econ- omy and. effictency board are confi- Gent that a great saving can be made. TP navy department probably will be unable to comply with the wishes of the people of California who have asked that the old sailing ship Portsmouth now at the New York navy yard, be towed to the Pacific coast to be preserved there as a naval mu- seum, ‘The people of the Pacific coast are anxious to have the Portsmouth sent to San Francisco bay because she was identified with the early his- tory of California, She sailed Into San Francisco bay and took possession in the name of the United States. If she had not taken this action what Is now California might have become a part of the British empire, as two British cruisers arrived there only a few hours after the Portsmouth. The San Francisco people want to use the old vessel as an exhibit in connection with the coming exposition there. ‘The navy department, however, has received a report from a board of sur- vey, which estimated that about $25,- 000 would be necessary to fit the old sailing vessel for the long cruise to the west coast. In addition the expense of puch a long trip would be considerable. Ya view of the outlay involved in the and girls of the country and the old er people, too, spent $25,000,000 last year on chewing gum. ‘The country’s confectionery bill for 1910 amounted to $78,000,000. ‘The $80,000,000 spent on jewelry is twice the amount required to build the Panama canal. Our soda water bill was $320,000, 000. The representative says: “Take the ogg, for instance; it doesn't cost the hen any more to lay an egg today than it did 100 years ago, but we pay more than our grandfathers did be- cause we don’t let the hen lay the egg where we can get out the back door ourselves and pick it up. The farmer's wife in Idaho goes out and gathers up an egg, keeps it till a.man comes along with a buggy and takes it from ter. He crates, sorts and packs it along with others and then carries it to the railroad. It is laid in April, May or June; you don't get ft until the following Christmas, and you have to pay for its keep all that time, pay for the cold storage, pay the rallroad rates, the expense of the man who went around in a buggy and gathered {t and the initial price of the farmer's wife in Idaho. It 1® the same all along the line.” Cah Seay [DON'T BRING Ze ve a OUT ANYTHING sy = ba| SHODDY — I pee) ME WANT NOTHING pag but the best (ee The quantity of wool consumed, in condition purchased, increased from 330,179,000 pounds to 474,751,000 pounds, or 44 per cent.; reckoned on a scoured wool basis, the increase was 50 per cent, The quantity of raw cot ton consumed decreased from 40,245. 000 pounds to 20,055,000 pounds, or 50 per cent., while the amount of cotton yarn purchased increased from 35,343,000 pounds to 39,169,000 pounds, or 11 per cent. The net re- sult is a decided decrease in the amount of cotton used as a material by wool manufacturers. The figures also show a marked de- crease in the use of shoddy. ‘This {s explained by the fact that the manufacture of worsted fabrics, into which shoddy does not enter as a material to any appreciable extent, has increased enormously, while the quantity of woolen fabrics in which shoddy is utilized was actually less in 1909 than in 1899. The heads of the executive depart- ments have received instructions to pare traveling expenses wherever pos- sible. This order fs applicable to the war and navy departments, as well as to all other departments of govern- ment, Of course, the largeness of the item for traveling expenses {s due in great measure to the laws under which men in the navy and in the army, either as officers or privates, receive travel allowances. The travel expenses of the department of agriculture and the department of the interior are also necessarily heavy, and the same is true, though not to so great an ex- tent, of the post office department.

When cooking eggs always break them separately in a cup, for one bad egg will spoil all that have been broken before. For poaching or fry- ing, it 1s better to break them singly in a saucer, from which they can be easily slipped into the pan without breaking the yolk. A tablespoon of vinegar, and & Uttle salt should be added to each pint of boiling water used for poach- ing eggs. There {s much nourishment, also medicinal properties, in fish, and as a rule it 1s cheaper than meat. If fresh fish cannot be obtained, salt fish, if properly cooked, 1s quite as nutritious. Too much cannot be sald about the nutritive qualities of cornmeal, which ought to be used more than it is in every household. Dried peas and beans also rank high among the cheapest and most nutritious foods. Beans that are old require longer soaking than last year’s crop.

J. Edwards Unreported Senate Incident Unreported Senate Incident Saved Fame By Not Speaking Personal Encounter Narrowly Averted When Ben Butler's Presence Enraged Garrett Davis, the Irritable Kentucky Senator. One of the ablest of the members of the United States senate for 10 or 12 years after the close of the Civil war was Garrett Davis of Kentucky. He was a man of strong originality. He was very learned and a profound lawyer, but he was also irascible, although when approached in the right way he was one of the most kindly and considerate of men. Senator Davis never failed having hearers, both upon the floor of the senate and in the galleries, when it was announced that he was to speak. Sometimes there was suspicion that some of those who visited the senate chamber did so in the expectation that Mr. Davis would yield to irritation and interject into his formal speech some very peppery remarks. It was one of the senator's peculiarities that he never would speak unless his surroundings were entirely congenial. Sometimes a misplaced chair annoyed him. Frequently he turned and cast upon the lobby at the rear of the senate flerce and angry glances, so that he might thereby put an end to conversation that was disturbing him. Senator Davis was announced to make an important speech at the session of congress for the year 1872. Among those who heard him at that time was John W. Wilson, then clerk of the commerce committee of the senate of which Roscoe Conkling was the chairman. Mr. Wilson, as private secretary of Senator Conkling and clerk of the latter's committee, met with many very interesting and sometimes dramatic experiences. But the one which he remembers as vividly as any relates to the speech in question by Senator Davis. "I had just taken my place in the reporters' gallery of the senate," said Mr. Wilson, "to which I had access, when I saw Ben Butler, then a member of the house, enter the senate chamber. He looked around the body with that peculiar twist of the head so characteristic of him, and then, with his queer little mincing step went to the Democratic side, took a seat directly behind Senator Davis and instantly became much interested in Senator Davis' speech, paying him the courtesy of very close attention. "Suddenly Senator Davis, who was a little man, turned around as though to address some of the senators in the seats behind him, and discovered Ben Butler sitting almost within arm's reach of him. Butler looked up at the senator, and there may have been something in Butler's manner, or possibly some recollection of Butler's career in the Civil war, which brought Col. Walter Harriman, Noted Soldier and Campalgner, Feared One Speech Would Destroy Reputation and Declined. "When an orator has gained a great reputation he should stop speaking." James A. Garfield, himself no mean orator, once said to a friend. And this is an anecdote of another famous orator who agreed fully with Garfield. One of the fighters of the Union army who gained distinction for his bravery was Walter Harriman, colonel of a New Hampshire regiment. He was wounded several times, and was once taken prisoner. He was sent to Charleston, S. C., where he found a large company of Union officers. A few days after Colonel Harriman's arrival at Charleston it became known that the Union forces had established a battery with one great gun, called the "Swamp Angel," upon an island in the harbor about four miles distant from the city, the Confederate authorities in Charleston having been informed by the Union commander that it was his intention to shell the city. This warning was given in order that non-belligerents, especially the women and children, could be removed to a place of safety before firing began. Thereupon the Confederate officers decided to select some fifty federal officers and place them day and night in a most exposed position, and the commanding officer of the Union army was informed of that purpose. Among the fifty selected was Colonel Harriman. The shelling of the city began, but it caused comparatively little damage and did no harm to any of the Union officers, although Colonel Harriman afterwards declared his enforced exposure to the fire of the great guns caused far greater apprehension than any that he had experienced while in battle. However, none of Colonel Harriman's fellow officers saw the slightest indication of timidity on his part. He was entirely composed, saying to his companions: "This is one of the chances of war." At the close of the Civil war Colonel Harriman returned to New Hampshire. He speedily gained great reputation as a political orator. He was Senator Was a Philosopher Senator Was a Philosopher out all of the latent irritation that was in Senator Davis. At any rate, he stopped speaking and glared fiercely at poor Butler, who evidently did not know why Davis had become thus angry. In fact, it looked for a moment as though Davis, who had lost control of himself almost completely, was about to go to Butler and attempt to eject him from that seat. "Instantly the tension in the senate was intense. Still, Butler did not realize that he was the cause of the trouble; but he returned the fierce glance of Garrett Davis as though saying: 'If you can look ugly, so can I.' "Just as Senator Davis seemed about to advance upon Butler, one of the senators upon the Republican side, Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, stepped hastily to Butler and whispered to him. Then holding Butler gently by the sleeve of his coat, Mr. Wilson drew him from the Democratic seat and escorted him to the Republican side of the chamber. As Butler was crossing the center of the alley, he turned and looked at Davis, who was almost beside himself with anger. When Butler was seated in the chair of one of the Republican senators, he calmly turned around and looked again at Senator Davis. "Davis was completely mastered by his irritation. Still glaring at Ben Butler, he abruptly terminated his speech and took his seat. Nor did he seem to be himself again until But- Horace A. W. Tabor's Own Explana tion of the Story That He Wore Nightshirts With Frills of Finest Lace. The story of the beginning of the unique and sensational career of Senator Horace A. W. Tabor of Colorado is one of the most fascinating of the romances of American mining development. It was a familiar story some 30 years ago, but the later excitement and romances of sudden wealth following the discovery of gold or silver have caused it to be somewhat obscured. Tabor was a rough and ready sort of fellow who kept a grocery store and sort of tavern in the vicinity of what is now Leadville, Colo. The prospectors esteemed him not only as a friend, but as a benefactor. He never permitted any man to go away hungry. He always entertained a miner or prospector, whether he saw the color of a man's money or not. He was confident that every man would pay his score when he had money; and if he didn't it would be because he very slender, tall and thin featured, but his voice was clear and ringing, his gestures graceful, and he was in great demand by Republicans all over the United States when campaigning was in progress. His record as a soldier and his prominence as a political speaker caused him to be unanimously nominated for governor of New Hampshire and he was elected by a great plurality in the late sixties. In 1875 there was to be a great meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic at Boston. The expectation was that General Grant would attend, and "Phil" Sheridan had promised to be there without fail and to march on foot at the head of his solders. The committee of arrangements asked Governor Harriman to deliver the chief address of this occasion. He held that to be about the most distinguished honor that had come to him. He said to the committee: "I appreciate the compliment you have given me, and I will communicate with you by letter in the course of a few days." But when the committee had received the letter and read it they found that Governor Harriman had declined. They were amazed and disappointed. But he persisted in holding to it. The great gathering of the Grand Army took place. Governor Harriman was present, but did not speak. Said a friend to him some time later: "Governor, you have a national reputation as an orator. The Grand Army has a high admiration for you. You had a noble opportunity to speak before it. Why did you decline it?" "For a very simple reason," replied Governor Harriman. "I have learned by my reading and by my experience that it takes about twenty years to make a reputation, and that the next twenty years are occupied in maintaining it. An orator has a peculiar reputation. He is liable to lose it by reason of the failure of a single speech. I could not afford to take that risk. I declined to speak before the G. A. R. simply because I wanted to keep unimpaired the reputation I already have gained as an orator." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) ler had retired from the senate chamber. "The incident was not reported at the time, since I was the only person in the correspondent's gallery. And after it was all over I remember hearing a senator say that the senate had narrowly escaped a personal encounter that would have been sensational and humiliating." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Old-Time Apple Pie. A guest at an old-fashioned home dinner was eulogizing apple pie and her hostess when another guest, who had been a California ploneer, recalled the "apple" pie given the children of 1852 to appease their homesick crawings when apples were a dollar a pound. It was made by breaking four soda crackers into an earthen bowl and pouring over them a pint of cold water rendered very tart by citric acid. When soft the crackers were laid on a pie plate on the under crust. Over them were sifted two tablespoonfuls of light brown sugar and a little allspice and cinnamon. A pretty perforated top crust was added and in a few minutes a perfect apple pie was taken from the oven to delight young and old. Crawford—Your hair doesn't seem to look as pretty as it did before we were married. Mrs. Crawford—Of course not dear, I used to pay a dollar then to have it marcelled every time you called.—Puck. couldn't; and in that event the score was forgiven. Upon one occasion a prospector asked Tabor to grab stake him. The request was instantly granted. A short time later the prospector struck very rich deposits of silver, and Tabor became a man of millions. He built an opera house in Denver, plunged into many activities, and at last had political aspirations, becoming lieutenant governor of his state. Then there came a vacancy from Colorado in the United States senate. There was an interim of only a month between the date when the vacancy began and the time when the legislatures would meet and elect a new senator. Tabor and his mining friends prevailed with the governor, so that it was announced that the man who had changed his position over night from a grocery store keeper to a capitalist of many millions was to serve for four weeks in the United States senate. Before Senator Tabor reached Washington to take his seat, there were published wonderful tales purporting to describe the outfit of clothing which he had provided for himself in his descent upon the capital. There were vivid descriptions of an array of nightshirts of the finest linen, decorated with real lace frills at the cuffs and at the neck. These tales naturally added to the interest in the romantic senator. But there was nothing in Tabor's appearance when he first took his seat to justify the belief that he had become of a sudden an exquisite dandy. He was modest and unassuming, and apparently content to sit, even though for no longer period than four weeks, as a member of the senate. He paid no heed to the reports which purported to describe his extraordinary underwear, and after his term in the senate had expired, he returned to Colorado as quietly as he had reached Washington. I was chatting with the sole representative from Colorado in the lower house of congress, James B. Belford, shortly after Tabor's term in the senate had expired, and I asked about the reports that had told of the alleged personal eccentricities of Tabor. "Well," replied Judge Belford, "I said to Tabor one day: 'Tabor, what is all this stuff that has been printed about you and real lace nightshirts? Where did it start? Is it true?" "Jim,' he said in reply, 'won't say whether it is true or not, and you don't need to ask me that; but I will tell you confidentially that I guess I started the story myself. You see, my friends are all among the miners and the prospectors. If I worked the red shirt and overall business in politics with them, they would all see right through it. They are no fools. They are all of them the kind of men who count on diamonds, fine raiment and linen, and everything that's splendid, if they make money, and so I said to myself that if they heard I was not playing the cheap political game, but instead was willing to let the world know that I had money and was spending some of it on myself, they would all say: "That's the boy for me." The overall and unlaunched shirt business has been worked to death in politics. I don't think the lace nightshirt has hurt me a bit with the boys.' "That was Tabor's philosophy," concluded Judge Belford, "and I wouldn't wonder if he was right in it." 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, Cal.

Published in the Colorado Statesman by authority of Commissioner of Insurance. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY LOTH COSTUME—Magenta face cloth looks extremely smart made up in this style. The skirt, which is quite devoid of trimming, has an inverted pleat at the foot of each of the front seams. The coat is semi-fitting and has a large square collar faced with white cloth braided in black; the cuffs are to match. A double row of buttons connected by braid loops forms fastening of front in a slanting direction. Hat of magenta tagal, lined with black satin and trim- Better to Take Sleep in Installments Rather Than in One Long Session If you wish to be perfectly fit and healthy don't take your sleep in "one long dose." Instead of, say, always going to bed at 11 p. m. and rising at 7 a. m., divide your sleeping hours into two portions, as, for instance, from 6 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. (first sleep) and from 2 a. m. to 6:30 a. m. in the second sleep. This method of sleeping in "watches" gives the brain—for all those who do mental work—just stimulus needed, and promotes fresh energy and vigor to both mind and body. A doctor who is a serious advocate of sleeping in watches gave the above interesting theory. "Every man and woman whose work requires a large expenditure of mental energy should divide his or her sleeping hours into two," he said. "I am acquainted with many people who now always take their sleep in two 'doses,' and they will tell you what a vast improvement it is on the usual rule of one long sleep in the 24 hours. "The ideal times of sleep for the brain worker are the afternoon and the early hours of the morning. Of course this program could only be carried out by the woman whose time is her own." Novel Vase. An odd and pretty vase may be made by taking a pickle jar or any other odd-shaped bottle, and covering it all over with putty, then you may use all your discarded buttons out of your button box. Buttons of the presidents or other candidates, broken jewelry, even broken china pieces, all these may be used and stuck down in the putty as close as you can. When dry set it on your mantel. You will be pleased with it. By taking a piece of new sewer pipe and covering it the same way and setting it on a pie plate makes a good umbrella stand. The New Sleeves Although most of the new frocks and coats show the kimono shoulder, the imported lingerie blouses have the regulation sleeve in most instances. Where the straight shoulder effect is preferred it is simulated by a broad band of embroidery which joins the bodice and sleeves. A notable feature of some of the new gowns is the difference in the two sleeves. For instance, one of the daintiest models shows one sleeve of chiffon, close and plain, while the other arm is bare, save for a garland or wreath of black roses set midway between shoulder and elbow. Not Afraid of Eve's Fate. Women are taking to snakes. The fashions prove that. The newest silk petticoats that have been imported from Paris and are shown in the Fifth avenue shops have snakes worked on them. Birds, too. Then there is the snake hat, which has been coming into vogue slowly. It is said women are adopting snake hosiery. But there also are butterfly styles for stockings, petticoats and hats, and butterflies are worked on handkerchiefs. med with ribbon bows in most attractive style. Materials required: Five yards cloth forty-six inches wide, one and one-half dozen buttons, about two dozen yards braid, five yards silk or satin for lining coat. Visiting Dress.—This is a dainty dress that may be made in any fine woolen material. The skirt is slightly high-waisted at back, and has as its only trimming a band of handsome passementerie. NURSERY DRESS. A A delightfully comfortable slip-on dress or overall is this; it may be made up in linen, casement cloth, holland or zzphyr. It is a one-piece pattern that may be fastened either at front or back; the front of our model is laid over in one tuck in the center, and buttons are sewn on to give the effect of a front fastening, though the real fastening is at the back. The "V" shape neck, sleeves, and lower edge are trimmed with fancy braid, which might be replaced by lace or crochet insertion if liked. Materials required: From one and three-quarter yards forty inches wide. To Save Linen. In some of the best schools the pupils are now taught to roll tablecloths instead of folding them, since the folds in linen are usually the first places that show wear, says a contributor to the Dellineator. The tablecloths are ironed flat and rolled while being ironed. It is best to use a table for the ironing board, as this gives more space. Start to roll the tablecloth as soon as a quarter of a yard is ironed and keep the roll directly in front, turning it as fast as the ironing is done. Sometimes thick brown paper is used to roll the cloth on, but it must be the width of the linen. A clever woman has procured several mailing tubes, placed them end to end and covered them with fancy wall paper, pasting it on securely. This makes a firm foundation for the roll. Napkins should be folded once with the iron and all other folding done by hand so they will not wear in the creases. Moths In Furniture All the baking and steaming are useless as, although the moths may be killed, their eggs are sure to hatch and the upholstering will be well riddled. The naphtha-bath process is effectual. A sofa, chair or lounge may be immersed in the large vats used for the purpose, and all insect life will be absolutely destroyed. No eggs ever hatch after passing through the naphtha bath. All oil, dust or grease disappears and not the slightest damage is done to the most costly article. Sponging with naphtha will not answer.
