THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE LAND OF EMIGRANTS THE FOURTH ARTICLE IN THE SERIES CALLED "THE MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY BOOKER WASHINGTON. VOL. XVII. THE LA EMIC THE FOURTH ARTICLE IN MAN FATHEST DOWN" BY For my purpose it is convenient to divide the life of Naples into three classes. There is the life of the main avenues or boulevards, where one sees all that in Neapolitan life. The buildings are handsome, streets are filled with carriages, sidewalks are crowded with handsomely dressed people. Occasionally one sees a barefooted beggar asleep on the marble steps of some public building. Sometimes one sees, as I did, a woman toiling up the long street side by side with a donkey pulling a cart. There are a good many beggars, but even they are cheerful, and they hold out their hands to you with a roguish twinkle in their eyes that somehow charms the pennies out of your pocket. Then their is the life of the narrower streets, which stretch out in an intricate network all over the older part of the city. Many of these streets contain the homes as well as the workshops of the artisan class. Others are filled with the petty traffic of hucksters and small tradesmen. In one street you may find a long row of pushcarts, with fish and vegetables, or strings of cheap meat dangling from cords, surrounded by a crowd, chaffering and gesticulating—Neapolitan bargain-hunters. In another street you will find, intermingled with the little shops, skilled artisans with their benches pushed half into the street, at work at their various tasks. Here you will see a wood carver at his open doorway, busily engaged in carving out an elegant bit of furniture, while in the back of the shop his wife is likely to be engaged in getting the midday meal. A little further along you may meet a goldsmith, a worker in iron or copper. One is making a piece of jewelry, the other is mending s kettle. In these streets one sees, in fact, all the old handicrafts carried on in much the same manner and apparently with the same skill that they were carried on three hundred years ago. Finally, there are the narrower, darker, dirtier streets which are picturesque and into which no ordinary traveler ventures. This seldom-visited reigon was, however the one in which I was particularly interested, for I had come to Naples to see the people and to see the worst. In the neighborhood of the ho- tel where I stayed there was a narrow winding street which led by a stone staircase from the main thoroughfare up the projecting hillside to one of those dark and obscene alleyways for which Naples, in spite of the improvements which have been made in recent years, is still noted. Near the foot of the stairs there was a bakery, and not far away was the office of the State Lottery. The little street to which I refer is chiefly inhabited by fishermen and casual laborers, who belong to the poorest classes of the city. They are the patrons also of the lottery and the bakery, for there is no part of Naples that is so poor that it does not support the luxury of a lottery; and, I might add, there are few places of business that are carried on in a filthier manner than these bakeries of the poorer classes. I was passing this place late in the afternoon, when I was surprised to see a huckster—I think he was a fish vender—draw up his wagon at the foot of this stone staircase and begin unhitching his mule. I looked on with some curiosity, because I could not, for the life of me, make out where he was going to put that animal after he had unhitched him. Presently the mule, having been freed from the wagon, turned of his own notion and began clambering up the staircase. I was so interested that I followed. A little way up the hill the staircase turned into a dark and dirty alleyway, which, however, was crowded with people. Most of them were sitting in their doorways or in the street; some were knitting, some were cooking over little charcoal braziers which were placed out in the street. One family had the table spread in the middle of the road and had just sat down very contentedly to their evening meal. The street was strewn with old bottles, dirty papers, and all manner of trash; at the same time it was filled with sprawling babies and with chickens, not to mention goats and other household appurtenances. The mule, however, was evidently familiar with the situation, and made his way along the street, without creating any surprise or disturbance, to his own home. I visited several other streets during my stay in Naples which were, if possible, in a worse con- DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 15 1911. dition than the one I have described. In a city where every one lives in the streets more than half the time, and where all the intimate business of life is carried on with a frankness and candor of which we in America have no conception, there is little difficulty in seeing how people live. I saw, for example, several cases in which the whole family, to the number of six or seven, live in a single room, on a dirt floor, without a single window. More than that, this one room, which was in the basement of a large tenement house, was not as large as the average one room Negro cabin in the South. In one of these one-room homes I visited there was a blacksmith shop in one part of the room, while the family ate and slept in the other part. The room was so small that I took the trouble to measure it, and found it 8 x 13 feet in size. Many of these homes of the poorer classes are nothing better than dark and damp cellars. More than once I found in these dark holes sick children and invalid men and women living in a room in which no ray of light entered except through the open door. Sometimes there would be a little candle burning in front of a crucifix beside the bed of the invalid, but this flickering taper, lighting up some pale, wan face, only emphasized the dreary surroundings. It was a constant source of surprise to me that under such conditions these people could be so cheerful, friendly, and apparently contented. I made some inquiry as to what sort of amusements they had. I found that one of the principle forms of amusement of this class of people is gambling. What seems stranger still, this vice is in Italy a Government monoply. The State, through its control of the lottery, adds to the other revenue which it extracts from the people not less than five million dollars a year, and this sum comes for the most part, from the very peorest part of the population. From all that I can learn, public sentiment in Italy is rapidly being aroused to the evils which cling to the present system of dealing with the agricultural laborer and the poorer classes. But Italy has not done well by her lower classes in the past. She has oppressed them with heavy taxes; has maintained a land system that has worn out the soil at the same time that it has impovished the laborer; has left the agricultural laborer in ignorance, has failed to protect them from the rapacity of the large landowners; and has finally driven them to seek their fortunes in a foreign land. In return, these emigrants have repaid their native country by vastly increasing her foreign commerce, by pouring back into Italy the earnings they have made abroad, by themselves returning with new ideas and new ambitions and entering into the work of building up the country. These returned emigrants have brought back to the mother country improved farming machinery, new methods of labor, and new capital. Italian emigrants abroad not only contribute to their mother country a sum estimated at between five and six million dollars annually, but Italian emigration has awakened Italy to the value of her laboring classes, and in doing this has laid the foundation for the prosperity of the whole country. In fact, Italy is another illustration that the condition of the man at the bottom affects the life of every class above him. It is to the class lowest down that Italy largely owes what prosperity she has as yet attained. —Outlook. THE UNIVERSAL RACES CONGRESS With the object of discussing, "in the light of science and the modern conscience, the general relations subsisting between the people of the West and those of the East, between so-called colored people and so-called white people, with a view to encourage between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feeling, and a heartier co-operation," as expressed in its call, there will be held at the University of London, England, the first Universal Races Congress from July 26th to 29th. On the executive committee and among the presiding officers and speakers are the leaders of advanced thought of the races of the world, the Negro and the American Indian finding champions or rather, expositors in Sir Harry A. Johnson, England; T. Tengo Jabuva, South Africa; Pastor Majola Agbebi, South Africa; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, U. S. A.; Frances Hoggan, England; Dr. Jean Baptiste de Lacarde, Brazil; and Dr. Chas, Alexander Eastman. U. S. A. It is perhaps, too much to hope that any immediate results will arise from the Congress, that there will be any perceptible lessening of the tension between the "so-called white and the so-called colored races" so soon as these learned men shall have given to the world their views on the problem of the races, but there are grounds for the relief that this interchange of thought will be productive of good and will contribute to the breaking down of the attitue among children of a common parent.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Hampton Institute, Va., July 5. Between three and four hundred graduates of Hampton are expected here for the twelfth reunion, which will be held July 21. President Jesse H. Harris, of Boston, expects a record gathering of Hampton "grads." Little Rock, Ark., July 3.—The citizens of this city are making extensive preparations for the twelfth annual session of the National Negro Business League, which convenes here Wednesday, August 16. To date $1,912 has been raised for the entertainment fund, $500 of which was subscribed by the Chamber of Commerce, and the balance by the Negro citizens. The Negroes of Lexington, Ky. pay taxes on property valued at $774,735. The school tax rate of the State is 35 cents on each one hundred dollars. The school taxes therefore, paid by the Negroes of Lexington for the support of the schools amount to $2,7111 58. The State tax rate for public school purposes is 22 cents on each one hundred dollars, and the amount contributed by the Negroes of Lexington for the State school is $1,701.41, making a total of $4,415.99., which the Negroes of Lexington contribute to the cause of public education. Rev. David F. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist church, received a total vote of 435,629 in his contest for the European tour offered by the Washington Post. The lowest of the District winners received 556,082. A trifle over 10,000 more ballots would have mane Dr. Rivers a winner. As it was every organization in the city combined on him and at one time helped all competitors. It is difficult to convince many of Dr. Rivers' friends that he was not the victim of a "frame-up"—or that a combine was not worked up against him. The Post gathered up a barrel of Negro money on the deal. Springfield, Mass. July 4.—In this city resides Alex Hughes, a Negro, who is one of the greatest positive forces for good in this city. For three years he has won the prizes offered by civic organizations to the owner of the best kept dooryard.

NO 44 He is active in church work, sends much of his money to Southern Negro educational institutions, carries his well-loved flowers to hospitals and gives them freely to bring a bit of joy to the sick, annexes uncared for plots of ground near his home and plants flowers on them, employs many of his evenings in catering to wealthy folks who want their guests served most efficiently. Washington, July 5.—Among the successful candidates for appointment as midshipmen in the navy, who were designated last week by President Taft as candidates at large in the competition in which seventeen entered for the six vacancies was Daniel Armstrong, son of the late General Armstrong, the Civil War veteran, who founded the Hampton Institute for Colored and Indians at Hampton Va. Young Armstrong called at the White House just before President Taft left the city for Beverly, personally to thank him. By an interesting coincident while the President was chatting with Midshipman Armstrong, Booker T. Washington entered the room and was delighted to be presented to the son of his former patron. It was to general Armstrong at Hampton that Booker T. Washington, just escaped from slavery, made his way barefooted, and from him he received his first encouragement. David Mitchell, a Pullman car porter, who saved the life of L. S. Berg, president of the New Orleans Mobile & Chicago Railroad, a few weeks ago, has been given a job for life. In the wreck, which occurred in northern Minnesota some months ago, Mrs. Berg was killed. Eight cars and the locomotive fell down an embankment, and Mr. Berg's private car and two pullmans were burned before relief trains could reach the scene of the wreck. "While there was much confusion and excitement among the passengers and the train crew," said a friend of Mr. Berg, "Mitchell, the porter on one of the Pullman cars which had tumbled down the embankment, never at any time lost his head. "He saved six or eight persons in the Pullman from burning to death, and when he was certain all the passengers in his car were safe he ran back to Mr. Berg's car, which by that time had been partly consumed by the flames. Mrs. Berg was dead, but the Negro succeeded in prying open a window and rescuing Mr. Berg."

Scollick of the National Museum in Washington is a craftsman in a trade with probably the very smallest competition in the world. He is the official "bone man" of the government, or in other words the expert in charge of the work of cleaning. in a trade with probably the very smallest competition in the world. He is the official "bone man" of the government, or in other words the expert in charge of the work of cleaning, articulating and mounting skeletons at the museum, a trade by itself and one requiring infinite patience and great technical skill. The removal of the National Museum from the old to the new building has resulted in the division of skeletons being given larger quarters, and the display has been arranged so as to give it a prominence never before had. To employes of the museum and many visitors this division is known as the "boneyard." Perhaps there is not the attraction in it for the average visitor that there is in the display of mounted animals and the big cases of ethnological groups, but it is one of the most remarkable collections in the whole museum. There is probably less known about the technique of assembling the skeletons than of preparing the exhibits in any other section. Mr. Scollick, who works on the upper floor of one of the small buildings back of the Smithsonian Institution, has been in charge of this work for years. The display now in the museum is largely his work, though some specimens have been acquired by purchase and exchange. The exhibits range all the way from a full-grown elephant to a herring. Each of them represents weeks of technical skill apparently out of all proportion to the finished result. Though there is more labor in the work, the larger skeletons are the easier to handle. The collection includes elephants, rhinoceroses, horses, gorillas, the larger monkeys, all sorts of deer, man himself and many mammals. Every bone in these big skeletons has to be drilled and articulated with wires, springs and metal braces. Although these do not show, it is necessary that they be put in place with mathematical precision to give the natural appearance. And then, too, everything must be scientifically just so. It is this which makes the finished work apparently so easy, but in reality so difficult. The smaller skeletons like lizards, small fish, bats and snakes are not held together by wires. Their own cartilage dried in place is used to hold them together. This is one of the many reasons why a skeleton that is dried and mounted is never boiled. Not only would the boiling make the bones fall apart, but it would drive in the grease and make the bones yellow, the one thing not desired. The meat is taken off the raw bones with a scraper and then the bones are carefully washed clean of grease with gasoline. Acids are not used at all except on rare occasions to remove a stain. Great care must be exercised in the drying and bleaching of the bones. This cannot be done in a hot sun, because the hot sun will crack the bones, as it will seasoning wood. From a bone artist's viewpoint the best bleaching weather is a gray, drizzling day, when there is no danger of the sun getting in its damaging work. Sometimes the bones develop black streaks, but this can usually be remedied with the use of dilute ammonia. From beginning to end the whole skeleton cleaning process is tiresome and is said to "get on the nerves" worse than any other form of specimen mounting carried on at the museum. Weeks of cleaning are required to prepare some of the small fish skeletons, some of which have to be mounted against glass to keep them properly assemble for display. The bat skeletons, with their long, delicate wings, are also mounted in this way. Bone articulation and skeleton mounting is a craft about which the public knows little, and even when an expert in this line starts on a new specimen he has no idea how long it will be before the job is finished. Our National Anthem. The president of the Chicago board of education is much worked up over his belief that few people, young or old, know what the national anthem is. As a matter of fact no one, not even the complainant, knows what the national anthem is, because there is none authoritatively selected. He thinks "The Star-Spangled Banner" is. Others with just as much authority say it is "America," a third class declares it is "Hall Columbia," a few hold out for Mrs. Howe's "Battle Hymn," and the southerners make it "Dixle." But in sober fact, while we have a variety of claimants, we have no established national anthem. It is too bad that we are thus handicapped among nations, and none the less deplorable that the United States is so lacking in musical talent. Evidently Fame is in ambush for some one, but the old girl is as fickle as ever, or else we are going to seed. Man Dead Whose Deft Fingers Once Counted Two Million Dollars in Ninety Seconds. George W. Marlor, cashier and assistant treasurer of the United States subtreasury, a veteran of the Seventh regiment's Civil war roll and for 46 years attached to the Wall street stronghold of government funds, died a few days ago at his home at Roselle, N. J. Mr. Marlor had handled billions of dollars of American money—probably more money than any man who ever lived in the United States—and his deft fingers held many records for speed in counting bills. Once he counted $2,000,000 in notes in 90 seconds. The $10,000,000 purchases of gold from the Bank of England, or the Bank of France, that sometimes come under his jurisdiction when the gold was brought to the assay office, were small routine matters to him and he handled them with as much ease and freedom as though they involved nothing more important than the purchase of a pound of tea. Let a counterfeit one dollar bill find its way into the realm of the financially elect and his trained hand and eye picked it out from its legitimate fellows with unerring accuracy. His sense of touch was so acute that he could tell the good from the bad instantly without looking at the face of the bills. Mr. Marlor came from the Metropolitan bank to the government service. He had been a clerk in the bank up to 1865, when, on May 16, of that year, John A. Stewart, who was United States treasurer under the Lincoln administration, gave him a place at the subtreasury. He began as a counter of money, and it was his work in this capacity that brought him before his superiors and the public as a remarkably accurate, fast and intelligent worker. An idea of the amount that had to be bounted and handled may be gained from the statement that it was necessary to count $282,000,000 when Mr. Terry was given the place of Mr. Fish. FRENCH AMBASSADOR'S WIFE Mme. Jusserand, Who Was an American Girl and Does Credit to Our Country. One of the most courteous and successful hostesses in the diplomatic corps in Washington is Mme. Jusserand, wife of the French ambassador. She was an American girl, the daughter of G. T. Richards, a Boston banker, her malden name being Elsie Richards. Apparently American women are peculiarly adapted to fulfill the duties of an ambassador, for there have been many matrimonial alliances between young women of this country and foreign diplomats. Before her husband was promoted to Washington, and while he was minister to Denmark, Mme. Jusserand presided over his legation in Copen- WME JUGGERAND hagen with great success. An ambassadress necessarily has much influence with her husband and often shares with him official secrets of great importance. Naturally, to be successful in such a position a woman must possess cleverness, tact and a fine sense of humor. With these qualities and all others that are to be desired in a charming woman, Mme. Jusserand is abundantly blessed. Was Saving Them. Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the speaker of the house, tells a story of her ancient cook, who took a liking to every article in her mistress' wardrobe. It was "Please give me this" and "Please give me that," until Mrs. Clark took a trip to St. Louis and laid in a generous supply of hoslery and underwear and outer garments for the old mammy. The gifts were received with gratitude, but presently the old cook was at her old tricks, asking for stockings, aprons and wrappers. "What did you do with all those things I brought you from St. Louis?" demanded Mrs. Clark. "Why, missile," answered the woman. "I couldn't use them things. Not for nothing. I am saving them all to be burled in." "Nick" is Some Joker. An Ohio farmer who wrote that he owned nine cows and asked Representative Longworth to send him a government exterminator for files, received the following reply: "Sorry, but I, too, am in quest of the same thing. I have no cows, but I have a bald head. Sometimes I wish I were a cow instead of a congressman." M. C. COOK FIRST-CLASS Chili and Lunch Parlor Cakes - Pies - Ice Cream 2622 Welton St., Denver, Colo.

IN the government archives in the state department at Washington where they keep the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, along with the completed document, a photograph of the author and certain accompanying certificates, a sign in big letters on a side panel commands "SILENCE." And every American who creeps into that room and looks about, sees the sign and reads the precious document with suppressed awe, is required to contain himself, his patriotism and all the effervescence of his revolutionary imagination until he gets outside. By that time he has forgotten just how the document reads, under the bewildering spell of the big sign, and not until he gets back home and begins to think it all over does the natural reaction and recollection begin. Then the power of the original document begins to assert itself over the commanding affrontery of the big sign, and the good, sane and loyal citizen begins to whoop and yell and stamp and shoot and raise cain in a thousand ways. The outburst keeps him from going crazy, and that is where the idea of a "sane Fourth of July" originates. THE GAUGE OF STATESMANSHIP. AMERICAN statesmen measure up with a rule, and the annals of world diplomacy political direction which reflect great creed American far-sightedness. But statesmen measure in world diplomacy, for the importance are so varied and complicated that it no idle business to so map out and that there will be no future need for it errors into which stubborn and perversed. In fact, statesmanship is of wider application in domestic affairs than in its more infuriational character. Every man who gains political success, but often men ride into office upon a way themselves dabbling ostentatiously with n and incomplete mental equipment make it a poor judge, and every statesman is required judge and pleader. It is easy, therefore, posed leader of his country to prove a miserable no other country in the west statesmen as does the United States.

But statesmanship does not necessarily find its full measurement in world diplomacy, for the internal affairs of every country of importance are so varied and complicated that the wisest brains of the nation find it no idle business to so map out and direct the nation's political pathway that there will be no future need for it to double on its track and undo the errors into which stubborn and perverse leaders have unwittingly forced it. In fact, statesmanship is of wider application and more general importance in domestic affairs than in its more infrequent and more attractive international character. Every man who gains political success is not a statesman by any means but often men ride into office upon a wave of political circumstance, and find themselves dabbling ostentatiously with matters for which their narrow vision and incomplete mental equipment make them unfit. A good lawyer may make a poor judge, and every statesman is required to fulfill the capacities of both judge and pleader. It is easy, therefore, for a would-be statesman or a supposed leader of his country to prove a misfit and an incongruous failure. Perhaps no other country in the world tries out so many unwarranted statesmen as does the United States. Our representative form of government, so called, our vast territory, with all its differing sectional, social and political ideals, and, about all, the ease with which any man of nerve or energy, regardless of education or intellect, may plunge into politics, fills the woods with statesmen who were equipped by nature for wood-choppers or some other profession of physical, rather than mental calibre. These misfit statesmen are not confined to our legislatures; they often bob up in Congress and not a few have been elevated to the dignified and pretentious office of United States senator. There are many things to prove the erroneousness of a man's political ambitions, but the one great and final gauge of statesmanship in the United States is the race question. Legislators who appear to possess a considerable degree of insight and ability in matters and affairs of ordinary internal interest, annihilate the true representative idea and become selfish class anarchists when they are brought into inevitable contact with the ever-present and never-solved race question. Broad justice flees her pedestal when these men begin their shameless assaults upon the reputed foundations of their country's liberties. But because constituencies of power uphold them, regardless of justice and national honor, these men continue to pass for statesmen. Senator Bailey of Texas is reputed to be one of the greatest constitutional lawyers in Congress and a man of authority and weight upon all matters of internal governmental relationships, yet in a recent oration in Washington he delivered himself of the following opinion on the race question: "The race question can be solved by our being just to the Negro race, as long as they will permit it. In fact, we should be generous with them, but we must surmount the difficulty of the Negroes who want to go to the front door. The only way for the two races to live in peace to the end of time is for the Negro race to live in recognition of their inferiority." In an age of great enlightenment and progress, when the world is supposed to be adjusting itself rapidly to truth without mystery, this passes for wisdom from the lips of a statesman, who only reiterates worn-out platitudes of prejudice to satisfy his own conceit and selfishness and that of a warped constituency. Cause for Grief. George, aged 3½, was very cross and his wails louder than usual one day made his mother ask impatiently, "George, what in the world makes you cry?" With an injured catch in his voice George replied, "You would cry, too, if you hit the crazy bone in your head as I did." Still the Open Kettle.

UT THERE in the street is a horse that looks just like I feel. Do not imagine that he is a carriage horse, champing the bit and pawing the ground, or a saddle horse ready for a trot, for he is neither. He is a meek, subdued beast of burden, attached to a wagon filled with broken limestone. A laborer is standing thereon hurling the rocks to the street. The horse meanwhile waits, unmoved, unmovable.

He does not know that I, too, have been driven all day, that my brain whirls, that I am breathlessly tired, that I am a link in the endless chain. I have watched the laborer for many days and I think he has watched me as I have passed out of my house. I have fancied that he has resented my little better dress and seemingly easier tasks. And at night I have dragged myself to this window to watch my fellow dray horse in the street. Would it be any comfort, Mr. Laborer and Mr. Dray Horse, to know that the person who looks down from the respectably curtained windows is as tired and subdued as you are; that this person wears a yoke and is hitched to responsibilities as heavy as the stone wagon? There is a rumble of wheels in the street. The dray horse is dragging himself home. Well, at least there is the bag of oats, and a stall full of straw, and the laborer and I have a dinner and a bed coming to us. "From Under the Flying Chaff" By A. W.

Sometimes Opportunity knocks at the back door. The political woods are full of presidential impossibilities. Ignorance is at a premium in heathen lands and jury boxes. Always put off till tomorrow that which should never be done at all. You can manifest your sympathy for the under dog by kicking the upper one. Lovers' quarrels are only preliminary skirmishes; the real battles come later. We have it on good authority that four guinea pigs have succumbed as a result of inoculation with germs taken from a public drinking cup, that 100 schools are supplied with bubbling drinking fountains, that the same sanitary condition will soon prevail in all the schools in the city, that pupils in some of the schools are taught to make their own paper drinking cups, that at least one large retail store has one sanitary fountain, albeit on its thirteenth floor. Yet in the public library the one only fountain now used in the building still has its chain-attached cup. The Cubans are a people of kindly nature and yet they have some odd ways. One of their distinguished traits is never to keep an engagement. It is almost useless to make an appointment with one. A Cuban will solemnly promise to meet you at four o'clock, say, and in parting will reiterate his pledge to be prompt, but the chances are that you will not see him until a week later.

THERS' OOM er of Curtis COLORADO WASHINGTON GOSSIP Good Faker in the Government Museum WASHINGTON.—Fakes made while you wait! The government ought to be ashamed of itself, but instead of that it retains a man especially to perpetrate them. It is no near-faking either, the government work is exacting and when the duplicate specimens are completed there is no telling which is the original and which the imitation. There are probably few men of similar calling in the world, and fewer still who are as clever in that line. The National museum has dug up a son of Wizard Jack Hendley, who in his day was the premier imitation man of the United States, and they now keep young Will Hendley busy all the time making something look like something else. It seems to be a peculiar gift, and is valuable in a museum. He works chiefly in plaster, making casts of anything and coloring them Senate No Longer a Rich Man's Club NO longer is the United States senate the leading millionaires' club of America. The number of millionaires in the upper branch of congress has been decimated, and the time may not be far distant when the senate will become known as the poor man's club. No less than $50,000,000 worth of senators has been ripped from the upper branch by an operation as simple as the one that left Adam without one of his ribs. The late Democratic cyclone had much to do with it. From present indications there will have to be formed an association for the conservation of our millionaires in the Senate unless it is to become the poor man's club. The death of Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia carried $15,000,000 out of the senate. The retirement of Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, carierd $10,000,000 away. Four million went with Eugene Hale of Malne, when he made way for Senator Johnson, elected by the Democratic legislature. Chauncey M. Depew of New York, director in 32 different railroads, walked off with $7,000,000. It was his own and he had a right to walk off Uncle Sam May Lose Valuable Lands Uncle Sam May Lose Valuable Lands TALK ABOUT YOUR GOLD BRICKS JUST as the government is sitting in for the biggest legal game it ever played the discovery is made that it is bound to lose and the Southern Pacific railroad to win $500,000,000 if the play goes on. The stakes are a great area of California's richest oil lands. They were granted to the railroad with a clause in the grant expressly excepting all mineral lands save those containing coal and iron. Most of these lands were patented to the grantee more than sixty years ago. The joker in the situation is a special staute of limitations, slipped through congress in an act of March 3, 1891, and perfected by another act of March 2, 1896. The effects of these acts, as construed by the United States Supreme court, is absolutely to bar proceedings by the government to annul a patent of land to a land-grant railroad after six years from the issuance of the pat- with respect to its railroad company ago, and as to the tion. The speci tions cannot affect The area of these railroads a the Southern Pac mous total of 26, cipality carved for est sections of the Many Leave Treasury for Other Lines THE unofficial function of the treasury department as a training school for business life outside has been demonstrated with striking force within the last two or three months. No less than five of the most useful employees of the treasury have recently been graduated into business life. The recent selection of Charles P. Montgomery, chief of customs, to take charge of the customs affairs of the American Sugar Refining company, is a case in point. Mr. Montgomery is an older man than others to be mentioned, and had been longer in the service, but his prize in the business world appears to be none the less substantial. Only a few weeks ago George K. Leete, a clerk in the office of Assistant Secretary A. Platt Andrew, was made private secretary to Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the executive committee of the United States Steel corporation. A week or two ago Lawrence O. Murray, controller of the currency, received an offer of the presidency of the First National bank of Pittsburg, and declining that position because so they look like the original, and he seems able to reproduce a counterfeit of anything from a raw oyster to a stone idol. There are a good many tricks in the trade that have been handed down from father to son, such as reproducing the bloom of a peach or scraping an apple to get the vegetable wax that will make the surface of a plaster apple look like the original fruit. There are always new problems coming up in the curious art of making something out of something else. One of the features of the big ethnologic collection that is now being installed in the hall of the new museum building is a series of groups. These include the various families of man. There are Patagonians, Hawaiians, Eskimos, all sorts of Indians, a family of Igorrotes and altogether about 20 groups. Each of them is shown engaged in some characteristic tribal work. The Eskimos are loading a seal on a sledge. If there is anything the museum cannot get in the original, from a rare trilobite to a Corinthian fresco, it can turn Hendley loose with the original, and he will make an imitation that would fool an expert. YES - THAT IS SENATOR GOLD-BONDS - HE'S A PODR MAN - ONLY WORTH A COUPLE OF MILLIONS with it, but the senate In the aggregate became just that much poorer. Then there was John Kean of New Jersey, who while scarcely in the class of Elkins, was worth $5,000,000. When he left, another five-million iron man bit the dust, so far as the senate was concerned. In the broad, sweet fields of private life wandered Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, with his $4,000,000. With him, along the rose-bordered byway, went James P. Taliaferro of Florida with $3,000,000. Hughes of Colorado died, removing another $2,000,000. There was $50,000,000 right at one clip. The men elected to replace these millionaires are virtually poor men, or at least, what the world considers poor in these days of big fortunes. Watson of West Virginia, who replaced Elkins, is about the only millionaire in the batch of baby members He is worth $2,000,000. ent. Until these acts are repealed, the government has not a chance on earth to get back its lands. Announcement has been made that within a few weeks the government will file suit as to these lands with Special Assistant Attorney General Townsend in charge. The oil men of California are thoroughly aroused and alarmed by the discovery of the joker. They are advised by some of the ablest lawyers that the suits can result only in confirming the railroad's title and so they are appealing to Washington with all the force they can command to hold off the litigation until the "joker" act can be repealed. This they believe congress will not hesitate to do, once it knows the inwardness and gravity of the situation. Suits already have been instituted with respect to lands patented to the railroad company less than six years ago, and as to these there is no question. The special statute of limitations cannot affect these proceedings. The area of land bestowed upon these railroads and now claimed by the Southern Pacific reaches the enormous total of 26,177,518 acres, a principality carved from one of the richest sections of the country. of his desire to complete a series of reforms he had instituted, the place was given to O. L. Telling, chief of the national bank examiners. S. Hazen Bond, who, appropriately enough, had charge of the bonding of government employees in the department, has left that position to go with one of the great surety companies. Edward P. Currier, until within a month private secretary to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James F. Curtis, is now second secretary to Vice-President Frank A. Vanderlip of the National City bank of New York. Assistant secretaries of the treasury appear to be always in demand in mercantile life, especially if their service has taught them familiarity with fiscal matters.

"The old house on the bluff," she added by way of explanation. "The old house, miss?" he inquired in surprise. "Yes," Janet assured him and then sank back into her seat with a feeling of resignation. The last lap of her journey was in progress. She had come and it was too late to go back. After having emphatically refused to join the Pratt house-party she had impulsively changed her mind and had come by herself to Beach Harbor. "It's all over, now," she thought. "I know he'll propose and of course I'll have to accept. I can't hold him off any longer! She was picturing to herself the certain joy her arrival would bring to George Pratt—and his complete surprise after her abrupt refusal. Janet peered anxiously through the trees as they approached the house, but there wasn't even a light to cheer her. She hurried from the carriage to the deserted veranda, and pulled the door knocker impatiently. She was not expected, to be sure, but someone should be at home. Slowly through the darkness within she heard footsteps. A servant, the cook obviously, opened the door narrowly and regarded her with curiosity. "Ohi!" she said in slow surprise as Janet asked whether any member of the Pratt family was at home. The luggage which the driver had left beside Janet seemed to afford her some enlightment, and seizing the bags in her strong hands she led the way upstairs. "But I want to see Miss Pratt or Mrs. Pratt," said Janet impatiently. Mrs. Pratt, said Janet helped "Oh, yes," said the servant with difficulty. "Oh, yes!" Apparently these words were the extent of her English vocabulary and Janet followed whither she was led. Once left in the dimly-lighted bedroom Janet stood surprised and disappointed with a feeling that somehow it was all George's fault. Suddenly her eyes caught sight of a probable clue to her difficulties in the mirror over the dressing table. "Notice!" was printed in large masculine letters on the back of a folded sheet of paper. Janet seized it and felt a telling tale blush as she recognized George's writing. "Of course the cook can't explain," it began abruptly. "She's a duffer. Glad you came even for the finish. We've gone over to the other house for a dance. If you aren't too done up to dress now join us over there. It's through the woods to the right and along the beach to the first house. There wasn't room for us all over here so we rented another cottage." Surely the message was from George, but how unlike the George that Janet knew. How had he found out that she had decided to come? If he did know how unlike him not to wait for her! With the color rising in her cheeks Janet re-read the brief note. "If I want to come!" she said to herself. "Whatever else can I do. I can't spend the evening in this deserted house. It's an outrage and I wish I had never decided to come." Janet was fumbling nervously through her wardrobe which she had hurriedly packed that morning with special reference to Georg^ Pratt's taste. She pulled out a confusion of ribbons, silks and laces and as she hurried dressed she was laying deep plans. It was clear to her now that George had written that curt note with a purpose. He was no doubt trying to humiliate her by a pretense at indifference, hoping in that way to make some impression on her stubborn affections. But Janet had decided never to relent under this treatment, in fact she was convinced now that she would never relent. She would have a good time, too, she promised herself and just show George how little she cared for him. A quarter of an hour later Janet was ready, and throwing a light evening wrap over her shoulders she started down the starlit beach towards the woods as George had described. Her imagination was working overtime as she pictured to herself the utter indifference she would show George upon her arrival at the other house. Her indignation made her forget her loneliness until she reached the grove with its heavy growth of trees and underbrush. A far-off cry of an owl recalled her to the discomfort of her task. It occurred to her that the hour was late for a solitary stroll through the woods, that her little slippers were already half full of sand and that she was really decidedly timid. But it was part of her plan to reach the dance, and she plodded on. She tripped against an unexpected root in the path and put her hand out for the inhospitable aid of a tree trunk. Then a ruffle of her own gown caught on a twig in the path and the owl increased her discomfort by another wierd cry. Still Janet plodded on until she was again caught by a branch that had fallen in the way. "I'm just not going another step," she suddenly told herself. "It would just serve them right if something dreadful happened to me and it was all their fault!" A tear of self-pity dimmed her eyes and Janet turned about and made her way back to the open beach. Then with increasing fear of the darkness and a hundred imagined dangers she hurried back to the only available protection—the deserted Pratt veranda. Frantically she knocked at the old knocker, but she could hear only the hollow sound of its vibration through the unlighted house. Now the darkness of the house seemed even more terrifying than the darkness of the woods and the only thing to do was to avoid either evil by sitting on the veranda and waiting. Some one, if only the cook, would return before very long. For hours Janet sat disconsolately alone. Her prettiest gown was ruined, she was sure, without even having been admired. She was tired and crest-fallen. At length she buried her head in her hands and began to cry. There was a morbid sort of comfort in this. Suddenly through the trees she heard sounds of voices. At first there was comfort in any sort of change, but as the voices came towards her she was filled with terror. The party turned in at the driveway and as she watched them swinging up toward her she fancied the return of a band of bandits or pirates after a day's plunder. There were a dozen of them she could see and not one girl. She could see them distinctly now and in a second more they would be upon her, and would see her tearful eyes and torn gown. Quickly she jumped and ran to the end of the veranda. "Hello there!" sounded a voice that seemed brutal. "Who saw a ghost?" It was quite obvious that she had been seen in her flight and as the young men gathered on the veranda she knew that a search was in progress. Breathless she slipped behind a chair at the far end of the porch. Here she crouched. In a few minutes more the voices had passed into the house. Apparently the ghost had not been worth pursuing. It came upon Janet in a flash and in part it explained the difficulty. Obviously, only the men of the party were being housed here, and the girls quite likely were safe and serene in the new house through the woods. The idea of again attempting the woodland path to reach them was impossible and the thought of being discovered here was quite as revolting. Perhaps the note in the room which she had read wasn't written for her after all, and that would explain. A sob came into her throat and she stopped. "Oh, I don't want to explain it to myself, she said half aloud. "I want to have some one help me." Then she heard subdued footsteps on the veranda. Perhaps it was the cook and perhaps it was— "George!" she whispered cautiously. "George!" "Who's there?" came George's investigating voice. "G-George?" she tried again to make sure. In a second the alarmed young man had thrown aside the chair and was crouching beside her in the darkness. "Janet!" he exclaimed. "Where in the world did you come from?" "Oh, I've been so lonesome and frightened, and miserable. And you were so disagreeable and thoughtless to leave me all alone!" "But, Janet, dear," said George tenderly, as he wrapped her cloak about her shoulders. "I didn't know you were coming; you know you wrote us you couldn't." "But that horrid, stiff old note you left for me," said Janet. "That wasn't for you; it was for Bob Winters, who said he might come down at the last minute. Come, dear; there was room here so the girls are at the other house. I'll take you to them through the woods." "I won't go unless you promise to explain everything," said Janet, still unreasonable. "I won't take you a step unless you promise to listen—not just to that, Janet, but to something else I've wanted to tell you for a long time. You know, Janet." For a minute George waited. Then he felt Janet's hand reaching for his, and heard her laugh. "I'm afraid of the woods, alone, George. So I suppose I'll have to promise." Seek Treasure in Sea. The bell of the British frigate Lutine, which sank off the Dutch coast in 1800 with a cargo of coin and specie valued at $6,000,000, is the bad news bell at Lloyd's. Whenever news is received that a ship is overdue or when definite news comes of the loss of a ship the bell is rung by the caller. At its tolling all transactions are suspended until the news it heralds is read. Many attempts, some partially successful, have been made to recover the golden cargo, of the Lutine. About $500,000 of the sum has been found, the bulk of it in 1880. It was in one of these attempts that the bell was found. Only a short time ago the wreck was again located and search for the treasure is now being made. Manhattan's Wonderful Growth. During the last five years New York city has put $447,000,000 into buildings, and the promise is for a larger amount in the next five years. xx MANY CANADIAN MINES DE STROYED—PROPERTY LOSS MILLIONS. REPORTS ARE VAGUE DEATH LIST IN MICHIGAN FOREST FIRE SMALL—PROPERTY LOSS UTILITY Western Newspaper Union News Service. Toronto, Ont.-In the Porcupine district the loss of life from fires is known to be several hundred and the property loss will reach several million dollars. Only three of the eighty-four employees of the West Dome mine have been accounted for and 200 miners, muckers, etc., in the Dome mine have been suffocated. The mines burned include the Dome, North Dome, Preston, East Dome, Vipond, Foley O'Brien, Philadelphia, United Porcupine, Standard Imperial, West Dome and Success. Among the dead are Robert Weiss, manager of the West Dome, and his wife and child. The Philadelphia mine's loss is about $50,000; United Porcupine's loss, $20,000; Eldorado Porcupine, all buildings destroyed; Standard, about $40,000; Imperial about $35,000; Success, probably destroyed; West mines, about $75,000. All reports give but a vague idea of the loss of life and property in Porcupine camp, which probably will total millions of dollars and hundreds of lives. In four short hours the fire swept from the Standard mines through to the shores of Porcupine lake, where it destroyed South Porcupine, Pottsville and part of Golden City, as well as many small buildings along the lake front. There the entrapped miners, cut off from escape, were forced to take to the shafts for safety and, penned in by flames, perished. This was notably true at Dome and West Dome mines. At the Preston, East Dome, an untimbered shaft gave shelter and none perished. The streets of South Porcupine are strewn with dead persons, horses, dogs and cattle. Along the mine roads are the charred bodies of those overcome trying to escape. Of the staff of 300 at the Dome, but few were saved, and at the West Dome but three out of eighty-four employees are known to be alive. Along the highway between East Dome and South Porcupine, over a comparatively open section, were found six charred bodies. The miners saw dense clouds of smoke to the southwest, where the fires were raging. They gave little heed. Later a small blaze started in Lake View, of the Porcupine townsite, but it passed almost unnoticed because of the recent frequency of bush fires. The dense smoke clouds began to roll over the Porcupine district. Then the miners became alarmed and the camps took on unusual activity. Messengers were sent out and soon returned with warnings that the fire was traveling through the forest at rapid speed and was licking up many townships. Soon the fire had covered an area of twenty-five miles in length and two miles in width and was licking up the base line of Tisdale, sweeping over the Standard and Imperial mines at Delore, the Philadelphia, Shaw, Eldorado and United Mines in southern Whitney. Hundreds fled before the flames, but the dense clouds of smoke hung low over the land and made progress difficult. Many fell exhausted before the fire as it swept over South Porcupine. The frame buildings burned fiercely. Twenty minutes after the flames struck the outskirts the town was in ruins. All who escaped the flames made for the water, where all sorts of water craft—launches, canoes, scows and skiffs—were pressed into service. Women and children were first hurried into the small boats and started off for Pottsville and Golden City, where they were temporarily safe from the flames. Detroit, Mich.—With food at their disposal and tents provided for shelter, the thousand or more homeless survivors of fire-swept Au Sable and Oscoda breathed easier. The known dead remain three in number, with Samuel Rosenthal, a tailor, the only one identified. The bodies of the others are charred beyond recognition. The property loss is heavy. Boy, Aged 10, Forges Checks. Long Beach, Cal.-George Webster, aged 10, barefooted and freckle-faced, was arrested here on a charge of forgery. The police say he admitted passing three forged checks for a total of $12 during the last month. He had offered a fourth check. Blddeford, Me.-Fire practically wiped out South Waterboro. Hotels, railroad station, all the stores and more than forty dwellings are in ruins.
