THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY The Man Farstest Down By Booker T. Washington. First of a Series of Articles Based on Observation Abroad, Comparing the Living Condition of the European Peasant, Woman Worker and Miner with those of the American Negro. VOL. XVII. The Man the By Booker T. Washington. I Based on Observation Abro Condition of the European er and Miner with those From Outlook. On my previous visit to England I had been struck by what seemed to me the cold and formal character of the English newspapers. It seemed to me that they were wholly lacking in human interest. Upon my last visit my opinion in regard to the London newspaper, was considerably altered. A careful study of the daily newspapers, I found, will repay anyone who wants to get an insight into actual conditions in England: STARVING FAMILY CORONER'S APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC FOR AID. Telling of a terrible case of starvation in Stoke Newington Coroner's Court, Dr. Wynn Westcott, the coroner, asked the press to bring a deserving case before the notice of the enaritable public. He said that he had an inquest upon a three-weeks-old baby which had died of starvation. Its father had had no regular work for three years, and only a little casual work in that time. There was so little money that the mother, Mrs. Attewell, of White Hart Street, Stoke Newington, was half starved too. She had only had a crust of bread to sustain her on the day her child died, although she had done nine and a half hours' washing to assist the home. The home was perfectly clean, although practically destitute of furniture. It was a most deserving case. After reading this item I began studying the papers more closely, and I was surprised at the frequency with which items of this kind occured. I learned that the local Government Board, which is represented in the English Cabinet by Mr. John Burns, has issued since 1871 an annual report, or return, as it is called, of the cases in which, upon formal investigation by a coroner's jury, it appears that the persons came to their death in London as a result of starvation. I obtained a copy of the return for 1908, in which are included the statistics on starvation not merely for London but for the rest of England and Wales. The forms issued to coroners were explicit. They provided that the return should include only cas- --- es in which the jury find that death is brought about by starvation or privation due to destitution. Cases in which death was caused by cold, starvation, exposure, etc., unconnected with destitution, are not entered in this return. Of the 125 cases of starvation reported, 52 occured in London. In 11 cases death was described as due to starvation in conjunction with some other cause; that is to say, disease, drink, exposure, or self neglect. In 80 of the 125 cases no application was made for poor relief, or application was made only when the deceased had been in a dying condition. Not frequently, when in my public speeches I have made some reference to the condition of the Negro in the South, certain members of my own race in the North have objected because, they said I did not paint conditions in the South black enough. During my stay in England I had the unusual experience of being criticized in the London newspapers for the same reason, this time by an American white man. At the very moment that this man attacked me because in my public interviews I emphasized the opportunities rather than the wrongs of the Negro in the South I had in my possession the document to which I have referred, which gives the official history of fifty-two persons, one for every week in the year, who had died in the city of London alone for want of food. I have never denied that the Negroes in the South frequently meets with wrong and injustice; but he does not starve. I do not think a single case was ever heard of in the South, where a Negro died from want of food. In fact, unless because of sickness or some other reason he has been unable to work it is comparatively rare to find a Negro in an almshouse. It has not been my purpose in anything I have written to pass judgment upon the people or the conditions that I have found in the countries which I have visited. Criticism is an ungrateful task at best, and one for which I am not well fitted. Neither shall I attempt to offer any suggestions as to how conditions may be improv- ed; in fact, I am convinced from what I rearned that the people on the ground understand conditions much better than I possibly could, and in a later article I hope to tell something of the great work that has been done in England and elsewhere to raise the level of life and comfort among the level of life and comfort among the people who are at the bottom in the countries which I visited. What I am anxious to do here is to emphasize some of the advantages which it seems the members of my own race, and particularly those living in the Southern States, have at the present time. It is not difficult to discover the disadvantages under which the Negroes in the South labor. Every traveler who passes through the South sees the conditions existing, and frequently returns to write books about them. There is danger, however, that the opportunities to which I have referred will be overlooked or not fully appreciated by the members of my race until it is too late. One direction in which the Negro in the South has an advantage is in the matter of labor. One of the most pitiful things I saw in London, Liverpool, and other English cities were the groups of idle men standing about on the street corners, especially around the bar-rooms, because they were not able to get work. * * * * * While I was in London I received letters from a great many persons of all classes and conditions. One of these was from a colored man who was born and raised in the South and was anxious to get back home. I am tempted to quote some passages of his letter here, because they will illustrate how conditions impressed a colored man from the South who go closer to actual conditions than I was able to. He had been living, he said, in London for fourteen months without work. "I have tried to apply for work," he continued. "They said they want Englishmen. It seems to me that all Britain are against the Negro race. Some say, 'Go back to your own country,' knowing if I had the means I would fly tomorrow." Perhaps I would do better to quote some passages from his letter verbatim. He says: I cannot get a passage; to be alone in London without any help or funds, like a pin in a haystack, nothing put sorrow and distress. Hearing Mr. B. T. Washington were in London I appeal to him in the name of God Almighty if he can possibly help me with a ticket to get across. because the lady that was kind enough to give me a shelter is without funds herself; being a Christian woman she gave me food for what she can afford. At night I have to sleep in a house with a widow which has two children which has to make her living by chopping wood, whom some day, does not earn enough to buy a loaf of bread for her children. The winter is coming on and Ilike to get home to shuck corn or to get to Maryland for royster draggin. It is a long time since I had watermelon pig's feet and corn. Say, Mr. Washington, if you ever knew what a man in a hole is I guess I am in a hole and the cover over. I can see the pork chops and the corn bread and the hot biscuits calling me to come over and get some and many a time I have tried but failed. I can't reach them; the great Atlantic Ocean stop me and I remain. This letter from which I have given a few extracts is but one of many which I received during my stay in London, not only from colored but from white Americans who had come to England to better their conditions or seek their fortune. These letters served still further to impress me with the fact that the masses of my own people in the South do not fully appreciate the advantages which they have in living in a country where there is a constant demand for labor of all kinds. If I were asked what I believed would be the greatest boon that could be conferred upon the English laborer, I should say that it would be for him to have the same opportunities for constant and steady work that the Negro now has in the South. If I were asked what would be the next greatest benefit that could be conferred upon the English laborer, I should say that it would be to have schools in which every class could learn to do some one thing well—to have, in other words, the benefit of the kind of industrial education that we are seeking, in some measure, to give to the Negro at the present time in the Southern States. True Reformer's Hall Sold. Portsmouth, Va., May 11. True Reformers' Hall, located on the south side of High street, near Chestnut street, was sold at auction this week by F. Nash Bilsoly in front of the courthouse door. The property brought $6,750 and was purchased by the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, a Negro organization. It was a trustee sale and J. C. Robertson was named as trustee. The property consists of two lots with a frontage of sixty feet in High street a depth of 113 feet. It has two store buildings thereon with a hall above. The structure is now used for school purposes by the city school board, which pays a rental of $60 a month for its use. RACE NEWS Bert Williams is one of the two members of the Follies Company in the Revue of 1910 who will be re engaged for the next season. Williams scored a tremendous success throughout the west and became a popular favorite on the Pacific Coast. Edward Young, an indurtrious young man of Ft. Worth, Texas, has had patented in every civilized country an individual shoe polisher, which he will have manufactured and put on maket. Mr. Young is an astute young man and the race should be proud of his achievements to which success is bound to follow. Andrew Carnegie gives another building to the Training School for Colored Teachers at Cheyney, Pa. This time it is a building for the agricultural department of this school to cost $10,000. The building will contain the usual laboratories for scientific work in agriculture. The school offers professional courses for teaching the industrial subjects and hopes to correlate these subjects with agriculture. Three-fifth of the graduates are now teaching in the former slave states. It has been satisfactorily proved on paper that the original man was black and that the white races can never permanently acclimatize in the black man's country. German scholars have lately written larnebly on three subjects, and the gist of their conclusions was published in their columns a few weeks ago. Now comes an Englishman, Lionel W. Lyde, professor of economic geography at London University, with the theory that the white man is doomed to vanish off the earth, yeilding to the colored races. Jacksonville, Fla., May 15.—Located on West State street, there is a Negro who is making good as a manufacturer of fine Havana and domestic cigars. This fact has become known recently in many parts of the country and the leading business men of the race are ordering his cigars in large quantities for personal use. The name of the man who operates the establishment is Noah G. Whiteheat. One of his leading brands is Blue Buds and another, which is very popular among all smokers is P. H. S. Mr. Whitehead declares that he is making one of the best cigars manufactured in NO 37 this country. The very fact that he is experienced along this line peculiarly fits him for the trade. He is planning to put his cigars on sale in Nashville at several of the business houses. CAUSE FOR ALARM Kansas City, Mo., May 22, '11. Mr. Editor, My Dear Sir: I see a great cause for alarm; I notice in recent years that several states have passed state laws discriminating against us as a race, which prohibit us from holding positions as train porters on passenger trains. The laws that have been passed by several of the states as I understand, reads thus: "All passenger trains that have two passenger cars or more, shall be required to have one conductor and one brakeman and one white flagman; the several states that passed these laws are Indiana, Nebraska and California. The Kansas law reads, that all passenger trains of five cars or more, shall be required to have two white brakeman or flagman; while it is a fact, that the laws are unconstitutional and contrary to the interstate commerce laws of the United States and also unfair to us as a race, yet it is having its effect in the above named states—that men of our race cannot hold a position as train porter on account of the above law in California. The officers of the coast lines of the great Santa Fe system is dispensing its train porters, which they have had for years for white brakemen. My dear editor, I am making an appeal to our people throughout the United States; are we, as a race of people, who have ever been loyal to our country, and true to its constitution, and who have done as much for our flag as any American citizen, are going to sit still and let the prejudiced labor unions, which are composed of white people, and which are opposed to us as a race, and which send their wealth and representatives to these several state legislatures to have laws passed against us, as a race, from having a chance at the bread-winner? My dear editor, I am not a politician and I have no desire to be, but I am appealing to all men of my race in all walks of life. I am a railroad employee, and have been for twenty-five years and I think that this matter should concern us all: if the prejudiced white can have the influence to go to the state legislatures throughout the United States, and have laws passed against us from holding as humble a position as train porter, they are bold enough, and the next move they will make is to have switch-laws enacted and passed to prohibit us, as a race, from holding a situation as as chauffeur or any other job that has any mechanical significance; so my dear sir, I think that we should get alarmed at such actions of our prejudiced white brother and get together as a race throughout the Western country and see if we cannot do something to stop this class-legislating that is being done against us as a race. My dear sir, I think you can readily see through my few remarks that the prejudiced white man is trying his best to underminl us and put us into the background of civilization; I will suggest that we call mass meetings over all this country, as the time is at hand for some kind of action to be taken, and this matter should be discussed until we come to some conclusion as to what is best to do for the interest of all concerned. Yours with the greatest respect, C. A. FOX, A well known train porter of the Santa Fe System. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN.

Rollins a wealthy farmer, living near Streator, Ill., walked into a room in a hotel in Talequah, Okla., and made his wife and Harold Morgan, with whom she had eloped, turn over $12,000 of his money which the pair had taken. Clarence Patrick, a telegraph operator of Oklahoma City, broke a fast of forty days and ate an orange, Patrick claims to have cured himself of rheumatism and other ills. He declares he took nothing but pure water during his fast. He lost thirty pounds. Five daughters of Harve Roach, of Utica, Kan., ranging in age from 7 to 16 years, were burned to death. The mother of the girls filled a lamp with gasoline by mistake. Preparatory to ascending a stairway leading to the second floor room, where her daughters were asleep, she lighted the lamp. Bert H. Conners and J. Mansel Parks, both said to be members, and the latter a former officer in the Los Angeles local union of the Structural Iron and Bridge Workers, have been arrested in Los Angeles by detectives working under the direction of District Attorney Fredericks, on a charge of being implicated in an attempt to destroy with dynamite the new Los Angeles county Hall of Records last September, some weeks before the blowing up of the Times building. WASHINGTON Major Archibald W. Butt, military aide to President Taft, is shortly to marry the sister of Mrs. Taft, is the rumor prevalent in Washington society. The Standard Oil Company has a capital stock of $110,000,000, of which $100,000,000 is common and $10,000,000 is preferred. It is supposed to have a surplus of about $500,000,000. It has been learned that negotiations now under way may result in Lawrence O. Murray, comptroller of the currency, becoming president of the First National bank of Pittsburg. Washington motorists are working hard to bring about the enactment of a bill introduced in Congress by Representative Jones, of Virginia, to establish a national highway from Washington to Fredericksburg, Va., by way of Mount Vernon. Cengressmen who get into see President Taft these days are not surprised to learn that he isn't worrying about the date of adjournment. While all Washington is sizzling with the thermometer around 100, the President's office shows a temperature of about eighty. Mr. Taft sits over a ton of ice each day.

FOREIGN. Reports from Torreon, Mexico, say the rebels, who recently captured the town, have murdered over 200 Chinese. President Diaz and Vice President Corral will resign before June 1st. Minister of Foreign Relations De La Barra will become president ad interim. A monoplane carrying Lieut. Paul Dupuy and Pierre Marie Bournique fell from a height of about 250 feet at Rheims, France. Dupuy was killed and his companion fatally injured. Peace will not be declared in Mexico nor will the general armistice be terminated, till the moment Francisco Leon de la Barra becomes provisional president in succession to President Diaz. France paid a terrible toll for her magnificent endeavor to attain supremacy of the air when a monoplane, the driver of which had lost control, plunged into a group of cabinet members who had gathered to witness the start of the race from Paris to Madrid, killing the minister of war and injuring the prime minister, his son and a well known sportsman.

HERS' OOM er of Curtis COLORADO 6 Union Bravery Praised by Confederates ERE is what Confederate Colonel Whitfield says about the splendid bravery of the Eleventh Ohio battery in the battle of luka in his report: "On the afternoon of Friday, H September 19, we formed in line of battle about one mile south of luka on the Bay Springs road, the enemy appearing in large force. Soon after getting in position I was ordered to move my command in the direction of the enemy, which was then about three hundred yards off. After having advanced about one hundred paces the enemy opened a very heavy fire with grape and canister from their artillery, besides a shower from their small arms. Under this galling fire my command moved on and, when within about one hundred and fifty yards of the enemy, I discovered that unless the battery was immediately silenced the result might be most disastrous, and gave command to charge, which was responded to by loud cheers from my command and the Third Texas cavalry—being then mounted—and at a double quick they moved up and captured the six-gun battery, which I am informed by one of the lieutenants, had been charged eight times before in different fights unsuccessfully." Mark the balance of Colonel Whitfield's report, to-wit: "In this short but hotly contested charge I sustained a loss of 106 officers and men, most of whom fell at or immediately about the battery." As we shall see presently, the loss in this charge of the Third Texas dismounted cavalry is not included in this 106, for a Confederate correspondent writing to the Confederate Mississippiian under date of September 24, 1862, says of Price's Third brigade in this fight: "They charged and took the battery, which was doing so much damage, after a desperate struggle, piling the ground with the dead. The Third Louisiana regiment of this brigade entered the fight with 238 men and lost 108 in killed and wounded. The Third Texas fared about as badly." And, as we shall show, we had repelled two charges before this was made in which, doubtless, we "had done the state some service." This from the report of General Rosecrans, commanding the Army of the Mississippi: "The enemy's line of battery now moved forward on the battery coming up from the woods on our right on The city is deserted, a Sunday quiet reign.

In the picture books the troops may retire in regular column formation, with every line straight and all the flags flying, but in actual warfare it is very different. Our fire was withering, and the Confederates ran for their lives. We had come so close together by the end of the five hours' engagement that in many places it amounted to a hand-to-hand conflict. The enemy ran, jumping, stumbling over their dead and the earthworks they had defended a few hours before. And we followed them so closely that in many places the two lines intermingled. We ran shouting, stumbling, over the rough ground in a long straggling line, with the careful alignment of our parades all forgotten. It was a glorious victory, but the field looked very little like the conventional pictures of the story books."—New York Herald. --- the Fifth Iowa, while a brigade showed itself on our left and attempted to cross the road toward Colonel Purczel. The battle became furious. Our battery poured in a deadly fire upon the enemy's column advancing up the road, while the muskety concentrated upon it, soon killing or wounding most of the horses. When within one hundred yards they received a volley from our entire line and from that time the battle raged furiously. The enemy penetrated the battery, were repulsed, again returned, were again repulsed, and finally bore down upon it with a column of three regiments (doubtless the Colonel Whitfield charge), and this time carried the battery. The cannoneers were, many of them, bayonetted at their pieces. Three of the guns were spiked. In this last charge the brigade of Texans, which had attempted to turn our left, having been repulsed by Purczell, turned upon the battery and cooperated in the charge. The ROSEM The Enemy Penetrated the Battery. Forty-eighth Indiana, which lay in its track, was obliged to yield about one hundred yards, where it was supported by the Fourth Minnesota. "Sand's Eleventh Ohio battery, under Lieutenant Sears, was served with unequaled bravery, under circumstances of danger and exposure such as rarely, perhaps never, has fallen to the lot of one single battery during the war." The battle of Iuka was fought September 19, 1862. General Rosecrans commanding the Union troops and General Price the Confederate. It ended in a Union victory, although the enemy had a much larger force. And so the writer rejoices in recording the heroism of the commands herein named, "The American Volunteer," whose equal as a soldier has never yet appeared on earth. The Expected Happens.

The Retreat at Antietam Story That Will Never Grow Old The story of this war will never grow old while the republic endures. Since the last shot was fired a new generation has arisen and another is rising. Yet the boy of fourteen today is as keen to read and speak of the Great Civil War, as was his father twenty-five or thirty years ago. It was different from other wars. It was not fought for land or room or to reach the sea, nor for an international position. Much less was it fought for a dynasty or a personality, or against any of these. The American Civil war presents the unique spectacle of a conflict arraying a whole nation in arms for ideas—for principles so firmly held that both sides were ready to die for them. It was the trial of the issue between conflicting ideas of society and government before the tribunal of the God of Battles. It was waged on both sides with a zeal born of absolute conviction in the righteousness of the cause. It was waged until the victors had well-nigh exterminated their opponents, as the scars of the south after nearly half a century still bear witness. And it was the final Civil war for the American people. They may disagree, and disorderly factions may rise in arms. But never again can they be so divided as they were then. In a furnace heat that tested human will to the limit of endurance has been welded their national unity. The character of the conflict whose glory and whose sorrow it recalls is what makes our Memorial day a festival unknown to other nations. On this day we honor, as we should, the memory of the brave in all the republic's wars. But we also celebrate as that which gives to the day its unique and distinguishing significance and that which sets us apart from all other peoples the Great War that in very deed truly made as well as saved the American republic. Bent and tottering, with their own faces turned toward the setting sun, the soldiers of the National home decorate their comrades' graves each Memorial day. As they lay the simple flowers there the fancy goes back to a time when side by side they had fought, facing death and war's horrors with unflinching intrepid strength, and in memory of those comrades who had shared with each other the joys and sadness of the camp and the battlefield, and later the rest of the home, these old men pay their tribute to the dead. Observing the Day T SEEMS to make little difference how small or how great any engagement, a little search among the Grand Army posts will soon discover some veterans who have passed through it. It IT SEEMS to make little difference how small or how great any engagement, a little search among the Grand Army posts will soon discover some veterans who have passed through it. It is perfectly natural, of course, that there should be a number of New York men who were in the front ranks in forcing the famous Confederate retreat at Antietam. An interesting page in the stirring history of this great battle is supplied by John Kelley, ex-commander of Farragut post: "We started the attack at daybreak," said Mr. Kelley, in recalling the decisive day. "The resistance offered by the Confederates was amazingly stubborn. The proportion of fatalities in the next few hours on both sides was appalling. The fight went on without interruption for five long hours. Then came the retreat and our decisive victory. We read about the enemy's retreating in good order, but my experience does not supply any illustrations; certainly nothing of this sort was seen at Antletam. Shiloh as a Battle of Chances. In summing up the battle of Shiloh it is apparent that chance played the most important part in it. The chance that delayed Buell in the first day's fight, the chance that put him on the scene in time to snatch victory from defeat, the chance that delayed Johnston on the first day, the chance that Grant took when he did not intrench, the chance that led Grant to recall Wallace from going blindly into what would have been the most important position on the field, and the chance that struck down the only man who had a clear conception of the situation —Johnston. Clearly it was a battle of chances. Yet there was another chance. The golden opportunity the Union troops neglected by not pressing on after the retiring Confederates. HE American people honor today those who fought and those who fell in what will ever be for this nation the Great War.

WHITE MAN! contain News does not take serious scientists to the effect that the white shielding to the colored races.

It a much faster spinner than Bret Wilkots of them, which are helping to them is his unalterable aversive psychic theory of the brain religion. This is not so pre-eminent weakness of the white race is a patientaste for its attainment. have made the white man rules of it. Add to these inherent self-destruction in the immutable laws of nature, the truthful scientists begin to doing business in the same old white job for some time to come, but he and China, India, Arabia and Africa take nights thinking of this thing in its far away approach and he awake. We are not crowing, for else, science would dictate, it will kill blood and the white man must. White Man, but you will have to THE Rocky Mountain News does not take seriously the conclusion of two eminent white scientists to the effect that the white man is doomed to vanish off the earth, yielding to the colored races. The News cites the fact that 5,000 years ago the white man was confined to the occupancy of Europe, a little of Western Asia, and a narrow strip of North Africa, the colored races holding the rest of the world; while now, through conquest and superior enlightenment, the white man possesses nearly all of the new world and a large portion of the old world. Perhaps those scientists, in their hurry, overlooked the deep-laid facts which The News is so quick to discover. Then again, perhaps they were not talking of geography or politics or the comparative intelligence of present-day races. Perhaps they were considering the law of the ages, the power of nature and the comparative endurance of racial elements under the slowly wearing ravages of time. Bre'r Rabbit was a much faster sprinter than Bre'r Tortoise. The white man has weaknesses, lots of them, which are helping him to run a fast race. One of the greatest of them is his unalterable aversion to all other races, antagonistic to the intuitive psychic theory of the brotherhood of man and destructive of his own religion. This is not so pre-eminently common among other races. Another weakness of the white race is its lust for power and dominion and its impatient haste for its attainment. These qualities have made the white man rules of the earth; but is that rule just and lasting? Add to these inherent self-destructive qualities many more, and then bring in the immutable laws of nature, and you will be nearing the point where the truthful scientists begin to think. Of course, The News will continue doing business in the same old way and the white man will continue on the job for some time to come, but he is entered in a long Marathon with Japan and China, India, Arabia and Africa. There is no need that he should lie awake nights thinking of this thing, for it will be a sort of sleeping sickness in its far away approach and he may as well have a good time while he is awake. We are not crowing, for the white man's valet will go with him. Like everything else, science would dictate, it will be only a progressive evolution of traits and blood and the white man must lead the procession off the stage. We are sorry, Mr. White Man, but you will have to go. UNREGENERATED veterans of the Civil War held last week, and at the opening, am from President Taft was read, and they had ever received from a wild storm of applause, in which century after the failure of their eternity, go on record as unrege and is forever dead and that can THE Confederate veterans of the Civil War held their annual reunion in Little Rock, Ark., last week, and at the opening of their convention a congratulatory telegram from President Taft was read. It was the first communication of the kind they had ever received from a Republican President, and it brought out a wild storm of applause, in which they yelled, "Tell him we were right!" So, nearly half a century after the failure of their cause, these old veterans, on the brink of eternity, go on record as unregenerated disciples of a cause that was lost and is forever dead and that can never be resurrected. The incident is unimportant except as a demonstration of the deathless loyalty of the great majority of the adherents to either side of a great war issue, and especially of the common soldiers whose bodies were so lavishly fed to the in satiable flame of political passion, in the mistaken belief that they were martyrs to a patriotism made necessary by the unavoidable stress and danger of a deathless cause. The end to the bloody struggle comes when physical endurance and military advantage desert one of the contending sides, but victors and vanquished yield not a jot of their personal beliefs, but carry them on through life, even to the grave. One side was wrong, but among the masses of the fighting men the wrong is never acknowledged. It is popularly understood that the Civil War was waged fundamentally against and for the perpetuation of the institution of slavery, but now it can be understood that, war or no war, slavery in the United States was doomed. The same is true of the contemporaneous and perhaps more fundamental principles of states' rights and secession They were destined to be flayed out of the life of this nation, and they would have died a natural death in the course of time, without any war. But human impatience and passion made the war inevitable and unavoidable, and now we have the tottering veterans of the two opposing armies, forty-six years after the establishment of peace, still clinging desperately and unwaveringly to an unquenchable belief in the justice of their respective causes. War's acrimony is murderously unregenerate. It may follow the unalterable dictates of peace, but it smolders until death in the hearts of its adherents. For the perpetuation of this blind devotion to a useless hate, men are very foolish. For the acrimonies of war, and for war itself, over mere differences of opinion and interest, men are very foolish. Time sets their opinions and their interests aside. The higher interests of humanity will be attained in their proper day, however men may divide and oppose. Nations change rapidly in aim and sentiment. Far-seeing men are as quick to acknowledge error as to advocate the right. Change is the law of the universe and progress is the expression of that law. What great nations did yesterday in error they undo to-day. Few men are given to see the right at all times, but the greatest of them change their beliefs regarding the things that are left for them to fathom. The greatest men of this nation, South or North, Confederate or Unionists, would not think of restoring the conditions in vogue before the Civil War. Only men of small minds cling to issues whose fate has been sealed by destiny, or nurse and nourish the hateful passions of an almost forgotten conflict. The leaders of men hold the welfare of the future above the passions and acrimonies of the past. Little men, and little men only, embitter their last days, and seek to plant the seed of bitterness in the hearts of posterity, with a useless and foolish loyalty to past beliefs which the changes of time and the world's unalterable advancement are pushing farther and farther in the dark folds of oblivion. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH. Mr. E. Lewis and the pastor served the Ladies' Aid Society last Thursday. There was a large and enthusiastic gathering of members with their friends who partook of the delicacies prepared by these gentlemen. This will be the last meeting before the Fair. The delegates who attended Trinity M. E. Church during the sessions of the Home Missions Convention last week report a profitable and inspiring convention. The Negro and his needs had a very prominent place in the convention. The delegates will make a short report Sunday evening just before the preaching service begins. The Epworth League finished its election of officers last Sunday evening. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: First vice president, (Spiritual Department) Mrs. Claudie Pash, second vice president, the Rev. J. D. Rice (World Wide Missions) third vice president, Mr. E. Lewis, (Social and Literary); fourth vice president, Miss Emma Patterson (Mercy and Help); C. Rice, treasurer and E. Anthony, secretary. The League will give a literary and social entertainment in the near future. The sermon topics for Sunday are: "Retirement for Rest," and "The Highest is the Most Forgiving." These are special messages and you are invited to hear them. Dr. I. Garland Penn writes that the commission on "Four Great Educational and Missionary Conventions, to be held in Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans and St. Louis has changed the original dates so as to give the churches in the twenty colored conferences more time to secure subscribers for the Southwestern Christian Advocate and to arouse more interest in securing delegates for these meetings. The St. Louis convention will not be held until August 9th-13th. The Rev. W. R. Stephens telephones that his grand opening will take place on July 7th. At this time Drs. M. C. B. Mason, Lucas, Bowne will be present and speak on this occasion. These great men will visit our city. Look out for the dates. The W. R. Stephens has been remodeling his church. It will be larger and a new basement added. Parents are urged to send their children to the Children's Day practices on Monday and Friday after noons. The Sunday school is still increasing in numbers and strength. Mrs. Anna Rice has been added to the teaching staff. OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, NOTES. Mrs. Waldren and son of Denver are guests in the city.

DONIPHAN Agent, 1721 Marion St. PREPARE SWEETS SOME RECIPES THAT WILL BE FOUND OF VALUE. Exact Ingredients for Chocolate Cake —Best Method of Making Icing— For Good Apple Butter—Excellent Strawberry Jam. Chocolate Cake.—Take six tablespoons ground chocolate, three tablespoons sweet milk, three tablespoons white sugar, stir together, set on back of stove to scald; then cream together half a cup butter and one cup sugar; add half a cup sweet milk, one and a half cups flour (measure before sifting), one teaspoon baking powder sifted in the flour, yolks of three eggs well beaten, one tablespoon vanilla; stir well together; add whites of three eggs, well beaten, then the melted chocolate last. Bake in moderate oven. icing.—Two cups white sugar, three-fourths cup sweet milk, piece of butter size of an eggs; boll together 15 minutes or until it hards from the fork; take from the fire and whip to thick cream; put between the layers. This is good baked as loaf cake. Good Apple Butter.—Put three quarts of pure grape juice and one cup vinegar in a vessel; when hot add sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and nutmeg to taste (some like it very sweet and lots of spices). I generally use ground spices. However, if you use the whole spices, put them into a piece cheese cloth and just let them boil in the butter until flavored to suit your taste; then you can lift the sack out. Peel and slice good cooking apples as for sauce until you think you have enough to cook nicely in your juice; then cook down until it suits your taste and seal. You can keep it without being sealed if you cook it down every once in a while. Stir often; no water is used. Strawberry Jam.—Eight pounds of strawberries; allow half pound of sugar to each pound of fruit; five cups current juice, five cups sugar. Place the berries with four pounds of sugar over the fire, boil one hour, then add the currant juice, and when boiling add the five cups of sugar, which have been heated in the oven. Stir until melted and boil 20 minutes longer. Fill jelly glasses and seal as for jelly. A Pointer for Pie.—Never set a pie on a flat surface when removing from the oven. Use a flatiron stand or wire teapot stand. This prevents steamed, soaked and soggy under pie crust. Three table forks placed so that the tines meet in one point in the center will let the air circulate under when one has not the stands. Chow Chow and Head Cheese. Green Tomato Chow Chow.—One peck green tomatoes, 12 onions, quarter pound mustard seed, two tablespoons cinnamon, two tablespoons cloves, two tablespoons allspice, two tablespoons black pepper, two tablespoons ginger, one pound sugar; cover with vinegar and boil gently one and a half hours. Head Cheese.—Get from the butcher half a hog's head; boil until so tender the meat leaves the bone; then chop the meat fine and season with plenty of black pepper and a little sage; chop a little garlic, soak it in water and pour water on meat. Take a little of the water the meat has been boiled in and pour over the meat and boll for a few minutes; then pour in a mold to cool. Spiced Sirup. Into a saucepan put one-half cup of sugar, and one cup of water. Let come to a boil and then simmer slowly until thick and sirupy. Then add a little lemon juice and one-fourth teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of cloves. Simmer a minute longer, then pour over the baked apples and stand away in a cool place. Serve with cream or just plain. I usually omit the cream. I often make double the amount of sirup, sometimes omitting all spices and sometimes using ginger (to taste) in place of cinnamon and clove. Boiled Custard: Scald one quart of milk, beat four eggs and four tablespoons of sugar together and one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, mix one large teaspoonful of cornstarch in a little cold milk and cook in scalded milk ten minutes. Pour the boiling milk over the sugar and eggs and cook five minutes. Remove and set in cold water, stir until almost cold, then add one teaspoonful of vanilla. This custard can be used for sliced cake or fruit. Cleaning a Wall. For cleaning the dirt and smoke from a papered wall, be sure to have plenty of clean cloths and wipe carefully a little space at a time. Do not use a cloth after it is much soiled, even if you have to stop, wash and dry the cloths. Spice Cookies. Three cups sugar, one of butter, one-half cup of milk, two eggs, one-half teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon cream tartar, spice with nutmeg, cinnamon and extract of lemon. Mix stiff and roll thin. Very nice. New Shoes. New walking shoes sometimes "slip" at the heels and cause a nasty blister. This can be prevented by rubbing the inside of the soles at the heel before putting them on with a piece of dry soap.

Samuel Cook, an old resi- dent of this city, died Monday. morn- ing at his residence on 28th street near Welton, at 5:30. He had been ill for some time suffering from dropsy, He was one of the oldest members of Shorter’s A. M. B. church and in his younger days was a great worker in the Christian field. There are few men who have held fast to the faith as did Father Cook. Even in slavery he nev- er lost sight of the prize that has at last become his. During the dark days of stavery when meetings were forbidden, he would plead so earnestly with his master for,permission to ex: hort to the other slaves, that he se- cured his consent—though poorly equipped edueationally he was strong spiritually. At his death he was more than 80 years old. His funeral was preached at shorters church Wednes day at 2 o'clock, where a large num: ber of friends paid their last respect to the old warrior. Rey.

A large and appreciative audience grected the Doctor at the People's ‘Tabernacle Monday, May 22, 1911, to hear his lecture upon “The History of the Negro Race. ‘The Doctor is a pleasant speaker. and one of the best and most logical writers of our race. In dealing with the history of. the Negro race he brought out many facts that were not generally known to our people and were therefore not understood. While the lecture was full of historical facts it appealed only to those possessing advanced ideas and who are able to meet conditions as they may arise from time to time. The field in which our leaders must labor is broad, and much good can be accomplished by them if each one will stick close to his calling, supply the missing link and do the work well, and when their object shall have been accomplished each one will receive praises for wha: they have done—and instead of bein.s divided upon trivial matters let them sing the praises of Ethiopa, for great things have been promised unto her.

GIBSON SMITH Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER MAKING PAPER MONEY INTRICATE PROCESS CARRIED OUT UNDER WATCHFUL EYES. Bureau of Engraving and Printing in a Class by Itself—Every Sheet of Paper Must Be Accounted For. As a money maker Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau of printing and engraving, "has 'em all beat." It would be a difficult matter to say engraving. "has 'em all beat." It would be a difficult matter to say just how much money Mr. Ralph makes in one day, for he could not tell you off hand himself. But he makes enough—and more, too—to supply the American demand. He has money making down to a fine point, and will tell you it costs the government $13.50 a thousand, regardless of denomination, to manufacture and put into circulation our paper currency. The bureau of engraving and printing at Washington is in a class by itself. No other institution of its kind in the world attains such a high point of perfection in the printers' art. The printing of stamps, bills and bonds is the "jewelry of the trade," demanding skill, care and oversight such as is necessary in no other form of work. The four thousand people employed in the bureau help in the manufacture of all forms of securities, stamps and notes, from the revenue stamp, the value of which is one-eighth of a cent, to a government bond, the par value of which is $50,000. As Mr. Ralph puts it: "No other workshop in the world finds such universal demand for its products, and none of its customers complain of being overstocked." The paper used for the printing of bills is a fine, firm quality of linen, known as "distinctive" paper, manufactured under government inspection at Dalton, Mass. The manufacture of "distinctive" paper, with its double row of red and blue silk fibers pressed into the surface, is a skilled process, calling for fine machinery and the best of raw material. The process of preparing the paper for the printer also requires skill and experience. After the paper reaches Washington from the mills it is taken directly to the treasury building, where it is stored in a big vault. Each day the sheets of paper on which bills and bonds are printed are delivered by the loans and currency division of the secretary's office to the bureau on requisition. From the time the blank sheets are delivered by careful count, until thirty days later, when the printed bills are returned to the treasury, the bureau must account for every sheet. In the engraving division every form of security issued by the government—bonds, notes, checks, drafts, internal revenue stamps and commis- WILLIAM M. Joseph E. Ralph. slons—have their origin. Here the expert engraver, working on soft, decarbonized steel, and studying each infinitestinal line, free hand, carves away with a diamond pointed tool known as a graver, aided by a powerful magnifying glass. He realizes that one slip, a false cut of his tool or a miscalculation of the depth or width of a line would ruin weeks or months of labor. Nearly eighteen hundred people are employed in the plate printing room, one of the busiest departments in the bureau. The ink is rolled over the plate, filling all the depressions as well as covering its smooth surface. The pigment is then rubbed off with the bare hand, leaving the lines filled and the plate is put on a press, a damp sheet of paper placed over it and the roller does the rest. Thus the design, with all the details of lines and shading, is transferred to the paper. The printer receipts for every sheet of paper he receives, the press registers every impression made, and he cannot leave the room until he returns the plate and accounts for every sheet of paper. Two Senatorial Farmers Farmers are well represented in the present congress and from Iowa and North Dakota come two leading practical exponents of progressive farm methods. Senator Gronna of North Dakota has grown rich raising wheat and knows all about the most improved methods of its culture. Representative W. I. Smith of Iowa is an expert in all kinds of farming, from making a silo to planting potatoes. HERS IS A LABOR OF LOVE Work of Miss Mabel Boardman in Directing Affairs of National Red Cross. Few women engaged in the broad, charitable works of contemporary life are better known or more highly esteemed than Miss Mabel T. Boardman. At her desk at the headquarters of the National Red Cross association in the war department building, Washington, she daily carries on her self-imposed task of aiding in the direction of the affairs of this humanitarian organization, one which has the world for its field. The position pays no salary. A. Miss Mabel Boardman. Miss Boardman took the place, primarily not for pay but because she saw the possibilities it offered for good, substantial work. A sister-in-law of Senator Crane and enjoying a warm friendship with the Tafts, she is rich in her own right. Miss Boardman, it will be remembered, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Taft on that now famous Oriental trip. The party arrived in Japan just after the campaign in Manchuria and her experience at the Red Cross camp there so impressed Miss Boardman that she at once confided to Mr. Taft her desire to get in active touch with this utilitarian body. Mr. Taft was successful in securing her a place on their return and she has since been honored by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy because of her loyal and active work at the time of the Messina calamity. Miss Boardman is a frequent visitor during the summer to Beverly. Last season she had entire charge of Mrs. Taft's visiting lists at the capital. At Washington she lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Boardman, in Dupont circle. The National Red Cross will doubtless swing into line with the plans of the Carnegie peace fund commission and lend every possible aid toward the furtherance of its noble ends. IS NOW WYOMING AVENUE Massachusetts Avenue Is Rechristened, but Celebrated Thoroughfare Is Not the One Meant. Massachusetts avenue has been rechristened Wyoming avenue. This sounds a little startling to persons familiar with the broad sweep of fine terrace and beautiful residence pointed out to visitors as the most distinguished residence street in Washington. But this story does not relate to that thoroughfare at all. Year ago, when George F. Hoar was chairman of the senate judiciary committee and Henry Cabot Lodge chairman, as now, of the committee on Philippines, the two Massachusetts statesmen had opposite rooms on the western ground floor corridor of the capitol running to the private elevator. These were the only committee rooms on that exclusive bit of corridor, and in Capitol parlance the place became known as "Massachusetts avenue." Senator Hoar died, and Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming became chairman of judiciary. Senator Hale retired, and Francis E. Warren of Wyoming succeeded him at the head of appropriations. Senator Lodge has removed from his beautiful single room on the ground floor to the double office on the gallery floor formerly occupied by Senator Hale, who always spoke of his quarters as the best in the building. The committee on appropriations has broken through and added Lodge's old quarters to its office rooms. Wyoming is in possession on both sides of the "avenue," hence the rechristening. White House Incident. Funny things happen at the White House as well as any place else. Somehow or other there managed to get in with the other guests at the reception the other night a man in a Jim Swinger coat. Now, a Jim Swinger coat is all right when it is clean, and this one was—in fact, it fitted its owner very nicely, indeed—but somehow his Prince Albert and Jim Swinger did not seem to be related to his other gear; his linen was immaculate, his face well-shaven, and his hair combed; but when the head usher caught sight of the gentleman's Jim Swinger, he also caught sight of a regulation moving-picture style boots and a pair of delicately-striped gray trousers. The gentleman with the Jim Swinger really looked like a moving picture of a cowboy, sure enough. As the unwritten law of the White House is for evening dress only at receptions, the gentleman was invited to seek the outer atmosphere, which he did without protest. PARDONS DENIED BIG BANKERS PRESIDENT SAYS NATIONAL BANKING LAWS MUST BE RIGIDLY UPHELD. TAKES FIRM STAND TAKES FIRM STAND BOTH MORSE AND WALSH MAKE STRONG PLEA FOR EX- ECUTIVE CLEMENCY. Washington. — President Taft has denied the application for the pardon of Charles W. Morse of New York and of John R. Walsh of Chicago, the two most prominent bankers ever convicted and sentenced to federal prisons under the national banking law. Not only did the President refuse to pardon them, but he also declined to exercise any other executive clemency in these cases or to shorten the sentences imposed by the courts. In denying the pardons the President took a firm stand that the national banking laws or any other laws must be upheld when they affect the rich man, even more than when they affect the poor. The record in the Walsh case, the President said, "shows moral turpitude of that insidious and dangerous kind, to punish which the national banking laws were especially enacted." Ir. considering the case of Morse, the President said: "From a consideration of the facts in each case I have no doubt that Morse should have received a heavier sentence than Walsh. Indeed, the methods taken by Morse tend to show that more keenly than Walsh did he realize the evil that he was doing." The President's denial of the parion applications does not mean that the men must stay in prison until the end of their terms. Walsh began a sentence of five years in the Leavenworth penitentiary in January, 1910, and under the federal parole law is eligible for parole next September, the President's action having no bearing whatever upon the future application for parole. Morse also began his fifteen year term in the Atlanta penitentiary in January, 1910. In denying his application the President granted leave to renew it after January 1, 1913. Under the parole law Morse would be eligible for release in 1915. Both Morse and Walsh made strong efforts to have the President exercise clemency. He was besieged by friends and attorneys of both. Mrs. Morse got up a monster petition, which was signed by scores of members of Congress and other leading persons. Former Senator Hale of Maine did much in her behalf. The pleas of ill health and reimbursement of all depositors in the Morse and Walsh banks were made in both cases. Boats on Missouri River. Kansas City.—Five years of agitation and effort to restore navigation to the Missouri river will come to fruition soon, when the first boat of the Kansas City Missouri River Navigation Company will start from St. Louis to Kansas City loaded with a miscellaneous cargo of merchandise. Within a month or two other boats will be in regular service. Chinese Sausage Not Bologna. New York.—It has been decided by the general board of appraisers herc that Chinese sausage is not bologna. Bologna gets in free, and the importers had claimed that the Chinese sausage had some subtle affinity with the Italian product and should be similarly classified. The sausage will hereafter pay a tax. Bloody Riot at Mexican Capital. Mexico City.—Enraged by the announcement that President Diaz and Vice President Corral would not resign immediately, spectators in the galleries of the Chamber of Deputies precipitated a riot that resulted in seven or more deaths and many wounded by police and troops. MacVeagh Favors Aldrich Plan. Kansas City.—Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury, speaking before the Bankers' Association of Missouri and Kansas here, indorsed the plan for monetary reform proposed by ex-Senator Aldrich and made a plea for all bankers to support it in a public spirited, non-partisan way. Robbers Get $2,000. Albany, Okla.—In broad daylight the State Bank of Albany was robbed by two masked men who entered the bank and secured $2,000. Rehearing Asked in Light Case. Washington—Representative Taylor, acting for the attorney general of Colorado, filed in the Supreme Court's petition for a rehearing in the case of the United States vs. Fred Light, involving the legality of the grazing regulations established by the forestry service in national forests.

J. Edwards Would Have No Go-Betweens Merchant Almost President Merchant Almost President Thomas L. James' Story About Grant That Throws Light on the Peremptery Removal of Marshall Jewell From the Cabinet. "Twice in my experience as an officer under the administration of President Grant I found him to be of the most unfinching integrity, and most loyal in his support of administrative officers under him who were trying to do their duty. One of these occasions was when, after an interview with him occasioned by his summons to me to call upon him at Washington, he said to me: 'Mr. Postmaster, you are absolutely right in your attempt to establish a civil service in the New York postoffice. Don't pay any attention to the politicians. Always remember that you have a firm supporter in me." "The second occasion was one which threw light upon President Grant's relations with Postmaster General Marshall Jewell," continued Thomas L James, postmaster of New York under Grant and Hayes and postmaster general under Garfield. "There have been many surmises as to the reason for the peremptory demand made by President Grant upon Marshall Jewell for his resignation as the head of the postoffice department. Jewell himself professed never to know the reason of his dismissal. I think I can throw some light upon it incidentally while showing you what sort of man I found President Grant to be. "It was in the winter of 1874-5 that there appeared at the New York postoffice an inspector whose home town was Oshkosh, Wis.; he had never been in New York until that time. He began to make a most drastic investigation of the postoffice, and I aided him all that I could. "It happened while this inspection was under way that Gen. La Rue Harrison, who was chairman of the committee of the postoffice department whose authority was over inspections of this kind, called upon me. I asked him what the meaning of this peculiar inspection was, and I told him frankly that I was sure some political purpose was behind it. General Harrison smiled queerly for a moment, and then said half confidently that Postmaster General Jewell wanted to cut down the appropriation for the New York postoffice $30,000. He clearly intimated that there was politics behind this purpose. "In reply I said that I would do everything in my power to reduce the surplus of the post office; that an inspection was not necessary to How Abbott Lawrence of Massachusetts Was Nearly Nominated for Running Mate to Taylor in 1848. Every president of the United States, at the time of his election, was either a lawyer or else had gained great military renown. Yet there was a time when, but for the narrowest chance and the queerest sort of political sentiment, a manufacturer and merchant would have been nominated for vice-president upon a ticket with a candidate for president who, two years after his inauguration, died. It was in 1848. The great Whig leaders of that time had pitched upon General Zachary Taylor of Louisiana as the man for presidential nomination who would be more likely to appeal to the voters of the United States than any other Whig. General Taylor had gained renown in the Mexican war, and after its termination had retired to his cotton plantation in Louisiana. He himself was reported to have said that he didn't know exactly where he stood politically, he wasn't sure whether he could properly call himself a Whig or not, but he was a protectionist—and that was enough for the party leaders, one of the most prominent among their number being Thurlow Weed. Indeed, it was Mr. Weed who first suggested General Taylor for the presidential nomination, and he it was who convinced his fellow leaders that they could make no wiser choice. "After we had decided upon General Taylor," Mr. Weed was fond of telling in the closing years of his life, "we of one accord felt that it would be well to select for the vice-presidential honor a man from New England. We also felt that the candidate should be a strong advocate of the principles of protection so strongly advocated and supported by Henry Clay, and so, finally, we decided upon Abbott Lawrence of Massachusetts as just the man we were after. "Mr. Lawrence was a manufacturer of cotton goods. He had utilized the water power of the Merrimac river, built great mills upon the banks of the river and thus founded the city which bears his surname. He was a splendid man—a public-spirited citizen, a man of much cultivation, and one of the leaders of the development in manufacturing interests in the United States. We were sure that the Elkins Helped Reveal Fraud Elkins Helped Reveal Fraud that end. I summoned two of my subordinate officers, and told them that the postmaster general wanted to cut our appropriation by $30,000. They replied that it could be done, but that it would involve some severe hardships among the employees. But the cut was made, and Marshall Jewell had the $30,000 to use elsewhere. "Within a month or six weeks I discovered what the politics was back of the cut. At that time Connecticut held its elections in the spring. Jewell used the $30,000 in Connecticut. He increased the postal service and the number of clerks, and in other ways which were lawful utilized the whole of that money, his real purpose being to strengthen his party in Connecticut. But it didn't avail, for the Republicans were beaten at the election: "General Grant must have heard of the use made of the $30,000, for he sent for me some weeks later, and I had hardly entered his office in the White House before he asked: "Mr. Postmaster, wasn't it the understanding between us when I appointed you postmaster of New York that there shouldn't be any go-betweens? I will not have go-betweens interfering with myself and the presi He It Was Who First Supplied the Information That Resulted In Uncovering the Huge Star Route Postal Swindles. "Sometimes, when I have heard of the great service rendered by the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia through the drafting of what is now known as the Elkins law, the most effective instrument for the prevention of railroad rebating, I have thought of another great service rendered by Senator Elkins of which the public never had any knowledge. The time has now come when I can tell the incident. "I think it was on the second day of March, 1881," continued Thomas L. James, postmaster general during the Garfield administration, "that Mr. Elkins, whom I had learned to know well when he was a delegate to congress from the territory of New Mexico, called upon me at my office in the New York postoffice. After the greetings of cordial friendship were over, Mr. Elkins explained that he wanted to send a telegram to James G. Blaine, and he presumed he would presidential ticket of Taylor and Lawrence would appeal to a majority of the voters of the United States, and when, prior to the assembling of our convention, the split came in the Democratic party which resulted in Martin Van Buren being nominated for president upon a Free Soil platform we were more than ever sure that our ticket, as agreed upon in conference, would be elected. "But we had overlooked one little thing. Shortly before the convention met a Louisiana Whig wrote to us saying that it would never do to have Abbott Lawrence on the ticket, and for one reason. General Taylor, he said, was a cotton planter; Abbott Lawrence was a manufacturer of cotton goods—it would never do to have cotton at both ends of the ticket. "It had never occurred to us, but we saw instantly the force of the argument. Therefore we reluctantly abandoned Mr. Lawrence and at the last minute Millard Fillmore of New York was selected as the Whig candidate for vice-president. And that is why he and not a manufacturer and merchant, through the constitutional succession, became president of the United States in July of 1850." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Curious Old English Custom. Some strange old customs are still observed in England. Some seven hundred and fifty people assembled the other Saturday afternoon in the village of Tichborne, near Alresford, in Hampshire, to receive among them 700 gallons of flour—the historic Tichborne "dole." Before the distribution Rev. Father O'Flynn, chaplain to the family, blessed the flour and explained the history of the "dole." The origin of the custom, he said, was somewhat vague. An old ballad related how in the time of the "wys and vertuous Prins Henry II." the Lady of Tichborne just before she dled crawled round a square of land, still marked out, which she said should be devoted to the needs of the poor. "What is wrong between them?" "He suggested jokingly that her hair was false, and she started to laugh it off." "And did she succeed?" "Yes, when she threw back her head to laugh it off it caught in the back of the chair and came off. dential appointments. Why did you fail to come to me at the time this Jewel matter was in progress at the New York post office? I would have stopped it instantly. "Well, Mr. President, I explained, I did not want to annoy you about a matter of that kind." "But it was a matter of principle, and that would not have annoyed me," the president replied. "However, I will overlook it this time." "As he said this, President Grant took a box of cigars from the drawer and offered me one. A mere cursory inspection of the cigars told me that their strength was beyond my capacity, He laughed, and then took up again the subject of my call. 'Don't let this happen again,' he cautioned, gravely. 'Always remember that you're next to me; and I will tell you frankly that you are not going to be bothered very long with the present postmaster general.' "It was only a few weeks after that that I learned that President Grant had peremptorily demanded Marshall Jewell's resignation. That was an almost unprecedented occurrence, the only similar case, I think, having arisen when President Johnson demanded the resignation of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) receive an answer within an hour. He added that the telegram referred to something that concerned me. "When we returned to the postoffice after luncheon, we found a telegram there awaiting Mr. Elkins' return. Hastily reading the message, he said that he had telegraphed Mr. Blaine, who was to be secretary of state in the new administration, to know if there were any change in General Garfield's cabinet plans, and Mr. Blaine had replied that there had been none. Then Elkins said to me: 'You are to have a great opportunity, and a very difficult and perhaps dangerous task before you, as soon as you enter the postoffice department. "You doubtless have seen in the newspapers lately a good many vague intimations that the government is being wronged by the star route contractors. I tell you, Mr. James, that these reports are true. I know from personal observation in New Mexico that the government is being robbed by star route contractors, and government officers are being bribed by these contractors. I can furnish you some details. The first thing you do after you have got fairly well acquainted with the postoffice department should be to make an investigation of the contract department. Tear it up. The contract department is exploiting star route service to the amount of millions a year, when no service is given, and then the contractors are whacking up with some of the postoffice authorities. You will run counter to some very influential politicians. I am here to tell you, however, that you will have absolute support from the president, from Mr. Blaine as secretary of state, and from Mr. Wayne MacVeagh, who is to be attorney general." "Mr. Elkins thereupon gave me some information regarding the frauds. Upon that information I was able to base the investigation of the contract department of the postoffice department. We speedily uncovered huge swindles. I have estimated that the government was robbed of somewhere between six million and eight million dollars by these frauds. "We prosecuted criminally the leading conspirators, but we found it impossible to obtain a jury at Washington which would convict. But we broke up for good and all the star route swindle—a service that was due in the first instance to the information given to us by Stephen B. Elkins. It was one of the greatest services rendered to the government of which I have any personal recollection. But until now, President Garfield and his cabinet were the only ones, excepting Mr. Elkins himself, who knew that it was through the initiative of Mr. Elkins that this work of reformation was begun." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Will-o'-the-Wisp. Such extraordinary lights as you mention are occasionally to be seen arising from the earth, and have excited curiosity in all ages. They appear to be of a phosphorescent character, caused by chemical changes underground, due to the decomposition of some organic substances. The so-called "Will-o-the-wisp," is of a similar nature. Probably its occurrence in winter is due to the cracking of the soil, permitting the escape of the gases. The fact that these lights appear should be a warning against the use of water derived from the vicinity of such appearances. "Maybe after all the coming brotherhood of man is not so far away."

The skirt has a panel back and front and is cut off at the sides and finished with plaitings. The simple, half-fitting coat is made with lapped seams and fashioned with three buttons covered with the material. The little boy's coat is of cream serge, fastening at the side and finished at the neck with a turnover collar. It is trimmed with silk braid to Many and Lasting Doilies Made by One Clever and Resourceful Woman. The housekeeper whose supply of doilies is getting low should look over her summer wardrobe and see if there are any heavy linen skirts not worth making over, but whose material will last for years. These can be cut into doilies of various sizes. One woman from the best parts of a nine-gored skirt cut an oval centerpiece, twelve plate doilies and twelve tumbler doilies to match, with four smaller ovals for under dishes. The plate doilies were nine inches in diameter finished and the tumbler doilies five inches. There was no extra cost for stamping, as the edges were finished with a grouped scallop, the central one being twice the size of that on each side. This applied to the dolly brought two of the smaller scallops side by side, with a large one between every two. The scallops were padded with chain-stitch and worked in No. 30 mercerized white cotton, in a close buttonhole stitch. In the center of each scallop was worked an eyelet, that in the big scallop being larger than the others. A second row of the smaller size was added, placed opposite the point where the two small scallops join. This gives a pyramidal effect alternating with the larger eyelets. At one side of each dolly was embroidered initials in small block letters. This design is easy to copy if one experiments with the correct sized scallop for each dolly. For a Butterfly Fete. At the supper table have a bowl or bed of flowers with butterflies hovering above and poised on the blossoms as a centerpiece. Let the candle shades be flower-trimmed, with a brilliant moth with outspread wings glued to the side of each. Have the place cards butterfly outlines cut from art paper and daintly colored. The dessert could be ice cream in butterfly shape and if so desired the delicious little "butterfly cream" cakes, which any baker can supply. Candles in flower forms are particularly pretty for the bonbon dishes at such a fete. Among the Silks. Another old-timer which the modes are reviving again this season is grenadine. It is soft and filmy of weave, of silken texture and charming for the modish draped gowns and veiled effects. Quite new are the two-toned silk grenadines. These are quite wide, some in numerous color combinations, and are not extremely expensive. They are most suitable for afternoon, reception and dinner gowns. Fine Cotton Crepe. One of the new fabrics which attracts the shopper's eye is a new Japan anise crepe in plain colors, as well as all the fascinating floral patterns. This differs from the usual run of cot creps in that the crinkle is extremely fine, in fact, as the most expensive crepe de chine. match and has a white kid belt. With this is worn a cream corded silk hat. this is worn a cream corded silk hat. The little girl's coat is an entirely new model; this one is made of champagne-colored cloth, trimmed at the bottom with a broad band of stitched cloth over the ends, of which the fronts form points, fastened with buttons. The wide collar is faced with shantung silk to match, on which are scattered in an irregular way small orange-colored spots. The buttons on this coat are covered in a very original fashion, partly with the cloth and partly with the shantung silk. CHILD'S PUMPS FOR DANCING New Idea Has Many Points of Importance That Are Well Worth Consideration. A party of young women who were training to dance in private theatricals were told by their instructress to buy children's patent leather dancing pumps, with rounded toes, low heels and narrow strap over the instep. They rather begrudged the money as they thought the pumps were for one occasion only. So comfortable did they prove that every one of those girls will wear nothing else around the house in the evening. It saves their handsomer slippers and the low heels are restful to the back and incidentally to nerves. For a very tall girl, these pumps are especially suitable as the lowness of the heels reduce her height and bring her into more normal stature. BOY'S SERGE SUIT. 1 Serge or drill are the materials generally chosen for a suit like this, either white or navy; when the suit is white, the collar should be blue, and with a navy suit a white collar looks well; the singlet may be of fine flannel or drill, embroidered with an anchor. Material required: Two yards 46 inches wide. The Newest Sleeves. Two-thirds of the dresses sent out by smart designers have fancy sleeves, often transparent, sometimes by no means so. The dimensions of the sleeves are always small when the material is of close weave; and about half the elaborate evening frocks, particularly for matrons, are sleeveless, with inch-wide bretelles to support the waists, many of which are astonishingly decolle—Harper's Bazar.
