Black Men have taken places of Trust and Danger. VOL. XVIII. Ethiopia First Problem of Negro Race May Give him a Chance with have taken places o A Negro was the first Gentile convert to Christianity, according to Rev. Charles F. Seitter, pastor of the Cameron Methodist church, who disputes the claim that one, Capt. Cornelius, was the first con- vert. The Negro who was the first convert, Dr. Seitter told his congregation last Sunday morning, was the treasurer of the Ethiopians who was converted by Symean, also a Negro. Dr. Seitter's sermon dealt with his Ethiopian secretary of the treasury and his modern relatives, making a plea for the Negro today. He said, in part: "Ethiopia's secretary of the treasury and his modern relatives." That was a distinguished group of men that stood at the head of the great church at Antioch, the Chicago of the East, in the first century. There was Lucins of Cyrene; Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod; Barnabas, the Demosthenes of the early preachers, and greatest of all, Saul of Tarsus, the profound theologian, the Christian statesman, the fearless ambassador, and the resistless evangelist. Black Man First Convert Black Man First Convert Made In Tour To South "There was another whom Luke considered strong enough to be mentioned along with these great men—his name was Symeon, called Niger because he was a colored gentleman. And you will remember that God called Phillip out of a great revival campaign in Samaria and told him to go south to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza. When he arrived he saw a man reading Isaiah as he rode. God prompted him to speak to the reader, whom he found to be ready to receive Christ. That man was a black man and was treasurer of Ethiopia. Now it is commonly stated Capt. Cornelius was the first Gentile convert to Christianity of which we have record. Not so. This same colored secretary of the treasury has that honor. And the relatives of this colored gentleman at least relatives in color, have been doing business since that time. If we may believe the remarks of a distinguished colored citizen of our land it was a black man who was first to shed his blood in behalf of American Independence. "From the rice swamps and cot ton fields our dusky brothers responded 100,000 to the call of Lincoln for defenders of the Union. It was a black man that planted the Stars and Stripes on the Spanish fort July 4, in that was for humanity, the Spanish American war. It was black Harry Evans who, in the early days of Methodism in America, played so conspicuous a part, being liked as a preacher better than Bishop Asbury, whose servant and traveling companion he was. Taking it all in all, our gentlemen of color have not made so bad a showing, considering their chances. "But the problem is what to do with the Negro. He is here. We brought him. He is here to stay, I reckon. Some have suggested segregation. Please tell us how. Some have suggested extermination. A certain senatorial aspirant, who recently announced himself as the 'white hope,' favors that programme apparently. Settle Negro Question By But, really, most of us are not ready to exterminate 11,000,000 of people. This colored brother of ours is a problem. We cannot transport, segregate or exterminate him. What can we do with him? Make a man of him. This many think impossible. But if he was the first Gentile convert; if he was of enough importance in the church at Antioch to be mentioned as one of its five most influential men; if he was the first to shed his blood in behalf of American liberty; if he showed conspicuous courage in that terrible struggle of the 60s; if he was the first to plant Old Glory on the Spanish fort; if, as a preacher, he was preferred before three bishops; if he was the first to successfully stitch a laceration in the human heart; if in our republic today there is no more distinguished citizen than Booker T. Washington, it would seem that the suggestion to make a man of him were not without promise of success, and it would save the republic. The Methodist Episcopal church with its 24 schools located in strategic points throughout the black belt of the South is working at this job. Eight thousand black young people were in our schools last year, being instructed in head, hand and heart. They are learn. ing to be the leaders of their race, teachers, farmers, mechanics, Christian workers. Last year our Clark university held a farmers' institute, attended by 162 Negro farmers, 102 of whom owned their own farms. This university also held farmers' in 10 counties of Alabama and the superintendent addressed mass meeting in 38 counties. Both head and hand are being trained. But it has been discovered that heart training is also necessary, and so well has this been achieved that out of the 13,000 graduates that have gone out from our 24 schools not one has ever been arrested and charged with a crime for which he should have received punishment. The Negro has capacity for achieving manhood."—Denver Republican. JOE GANS LEADER IN NUMBER OF VICTORIES BY KNOCKOUT. Chicago, Sept. 21.—Critics have raved about the horrors imparted by a punch from the fist of a Sullivan, a Walcott, a Ketchel or a Fitzsimmons, but ( although this quartet of big fellows had the knock that concludes the show long before its regular time, they did not hurl over the final dose with the unceasing consistency of Joe Gans, the little fighter now dead. A year ago the former champ, but then a physical wreck, was brought from the Arizona wilds to Baltimore in the express car of a fast mail train. He was on his way to Baltimore to die, and he wanted to draw his last breath in the presence of his relatives. His attendants on the train feared lest he should expire before he got to his home town. He was but the shadow of a man, tuberculosis having done its work, and his body had weakened until breath came in quick, short gasps. But he reached Baltimore alive and passed away there soon after his ar rival. That ghastly object with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes had once been Joe Gans, the "old master" of the lightweights, and the champion knock-out of all time. Fifty-Two Down for Count. Gans put more men down for ten seconds than any other battler that ever waltzed into a ring. Fifty-two of 'em in all. A record that may stand for all time. Of course he had plenty of time in which to build up the morgue, for he was fighting eighteen years. And oftener than that old patriarch, Bob Fitzsimmons. Many of Gans' knock-outs came during his early career, as is frequently the case. Nearly every boy who amounts to anything, barring those who are especially favored by nature, was a knockerout in the days of youth and inexperience where the first punch generally is a forecast of the end. Gans, however, not only dropped his opponents in the starting stage, but he kept it up through the years, a fact that would tend to show that the great Negro was a methodical ringster and always had some certain blow in view after he had sized up the man in front of him. Here is the Baltimoreman's record of "certaints" during his life in the ring: 1891-2-3-4, 8; 1895, 4; 1896, 5; 1897, 3; 1899, 2; 1900, 7; 1901, 5; 1902, 9; 1903, 3; 1904 and 1905, 0; 1906, 1; 1907, 2; 1908, 3. While the Boston terror, Sam Langford, is battering everybody against the ropes, one will be surprised to learn that Samuel does not rank next to Gans as a cruel hitter. Tommy Ryan, and not Langford, had the next biggest list of dead ones attached to his catalogue. The ex-middleweight and welterweight champion tossed forty-four bodies upon the mat in his time. Langford's record is forty, and he comes third. For the great length of his ring existence, Stanley Ketchel might be rated as the greatest man killer, but there are no figures from which to build an argument. There's no telling what he might have done had destiny shaped another course for him or if he had lived. Ketchel had thirty knuckouts in seven years. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, that wise boxed of Slowtown, who tried to turn back the hands of the clock recently and was given a severe beating for his lack of prudence, amassed thirty-eight decisive victories while in activity. ALBUQ RQUE NEWS Mis. Johnny Cornell left Saturday for Denver, where she will transact some important business. The 30th annual New Mexico Fair will be held Oct. 9-14, 1911. The crowds will be here, many are going to buy homes and locate in our city. The Choral Club is improving very fast, under the instructions of Prof. A. R. Murry. Rev. J. W. Rodgers, former pastor of the A. M. E. church of this city was transferred to the Colorado Annual Conference. Rev. T. W. Jackson, formerly of Jacksonville, Fla., was appointed to pastor A. M. E. Grant chapel of this city for the ensuing year. We trust he may have a successful year. His initial sermon last Sunday pleased his large audience. Mrs. E. N. Reynolds gave a surprise party and house warming last week in honor of her mother, Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth at the latters new residence. Among those present were: Prof. J. B. Lott and wife, Mr. and Mrs. John Clars Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Mason, Misses Francis and Katie Ellsworth, Mrs. Rebecca Comby, Miss R. Lott, Mrs. J. W. Rodgers, Mrs. George Hutchison and Mr. Jeff Click. After refreshments were served short speeches were made by Prof. J. B. Lott and Mrs. Lott, Mrs. T. O. Mason and ye correspondent, which was much enjoyed by their hearers. At a suitable hour the jolly crowd departed for their homes, many leaving nice presents for the hostess. The election of our first state and county officers is causing politics to warm up, considerable. This being our first opportunity to elect our own officers and we expect some very inteaesting happenings to take place. We trust that the Negro will use every effort to elect the straight Republican ticket, for the first legislature has the privilege of proposing new amendments to the constitution. We are in hopes that the legislature will be Republican. RACE NEWS New Orleans, La., Sept. 19. William Morris, a Negro, says a Pullman porter averages $100 a month in tips. He makes the assertion in a suit filed here yesterday in the United States circuit court. Morris is suing the Pullman company and the Southern Pacific railroad for $5,000 damages because of a railroad accident. At the time of the smashup, Morris, so says the petition, drew $40 a month as porter. Washington, Sept. 10.—Major John R. Lynch, the ranking colored officer of the army, and the only man of his race holding a staff commission, retired today on account of age. He was appointed to pay corps at the outbreak of the Spanish War by President McKinley, serving in Cuba and the Phillipines with credit. Major Lych was born in Mississippi and served five terms in the House of Representatives. He also was an auditor of the Treasury from 1889 to 1893. Richmond, Va., Sept. 12. Grand Master Griffin and the newly elected officers of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, have entered into their work of rehabilitating the order with a spirit of optimism and a determination of purpose that has instilled in the members confidence and a feeling that before many months the order once more will be on solid footing. The members of the True Reformers are also encouraged by the friendly attitude of the Bureau of Insurance, which has made it known that the state official will do everything in their power to aid the new officials to improve conditions. An effort will soon be made by the order to pay off death claims. Paris, Sept. 7.—Jack Johnson expects to retire from the ring unwhipped. Discussing his plans, he declared that after he had disposed of all the contenders for the title. He said: "There is absolutely no present prospect of anybody ever licking me. I am going to England next month to polish off Bombardier Wells. Then I am going with MeIntosh to Australia, where I will both Sam McVey and Sam Langford. That will clean up all of the men who think they have a chance with me. After that I will keep all of my theatrical engagements, which will cover another year. "At the end of that time I will come back to Paris, announce my retirement from the NO 2 ring, and open a big gymnasium. I will pick half dozen of the next best men in the world then, and let them fight for the title in France, England, America and Australia. To make it interesting, I will buy a big championship belt, and will act as referee myself. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11.—The Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association furnishes a most remarkable instance of racial co-operation and progress in the gigantic strides it has made in the last few years. Organized less than ten years ago with one branch office, two agents and $50.00 worth of insurance outstanding, it now operates in three States, namely: Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky; boasts of 85,000 satisfied policy holders; has placed more than a million dollars worth of insurance in colored homes, and employs more than 600 men and women. It has the distinction of being the first colored company admitted to do business in the State of Kentucky and the further distinction of having its president sign a bank check for the purchase of bonds for a larger amount than any colored man had ever before drawn. Approved business methods alone are used and the results are a high state of efficiency. The officers are: A. F. Herndon, President; E. W. Howell, Secretary, and T. K. Gibson, General Manager. Pittsbury, Pa., Sept. 14.—Showing gross receipts of $187,753.77 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1911, and at the same time reporting 309,559 letters written to various Baptist Sunday schools throughout the United States, Rev. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of Nashville Tenn., concluded his two splendid reports this afternoon before the National Baptist Convention in session in this city. Dr. Boyd declared in his remarks before this convention, which is reputed to be the largest organized religious body in the world, that unless his people exercised more self-dependence, which will make them a progressive and industrious people, and help teach their posterity that "a well man needs no crutches," they were not going to make as rapid strides in the future as they had in the past. He spoke particularly from a denominational point of view, as he said he represented the future churches among two and one-half million Negro Baptists. WASHINGTON GOSSIP WASHINGTON.—More than $50,000 was spent on the White House in the last fiscal year by the government in fuel, light and repairs, according to the annual report of Col. Spencer Cosby. The executive mansion is the principal building of the department of public buildings and grounds, and is practically the only building of any size that comes directly under the head of the superintendent of public buildings and grounds. In the year repairs were made to elevators, vestibule, and roof, and the general appearance of the building was kept up. To do this required the services of about 100 men. A new system of lightning protection was installed in July, 1910, the work being done under contract. The old zinc and lead rods were removed from the roof and new copper cable was connected to 100 points on the roof of the house. The rods and points were mechanically connected to the house. A silver closet, with double steel doors, and a complete set of shelves Queer Features of the New Game Laws THE game laws for 1911 as compiled by the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture make interesting and sometimes odd reading. There is a demand for the information they contain which it is laborious to supply in a compendious form. The volume of the game legislation of 1911 so exceeded that of any preceding year that even to note changes in the laws is quite an undertaking. All but eight of the states put new game laws on the statute books this year. Delaware forbade the use of dogs wearing bells or other noise producing devices in wild fowl shooting, North Dakota the use of automobiles in duck shooting, and Michigan the employment of guinea pigs in hunting rabbits. New Hampshire has prohibited "the scientific collecting" of birds. Tennessee is one of those southern states that have come under the benign influence of the Audubon society. It has made the sale or shipment of robins a misdemeanor. Michigan seems to have removed all protection of deer in several counties; the editors of "Game Laws for 1911" think it was not the design of the lawmak- --- Two "Widows" of Soldier File Claims STATE DEPT CLAIM CLAIM TWO women, each claiming to be his widow, and both living in Los Angeles, Cal., have filed claims through Philander C. Knox, secretary of state, for indemnity for the murder of Dr. Arthur Livingston Wilson Foster, at Alamo, Mexico, in June. One of the women, Mrs. A. L. W. Foster, has filed her claim through Dr. Foster's stepfather, Colonel Foster of Newark, N. J. The other, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Woods, has lodged her claim through her attorney, E. F. Kirk, for $100,000. Mrs. A. W. L. Foster claims she was married to Dr. Foster shortly after he graduated from Hahnemann college, in Philadelphia, and that they lived together until 1904, when they went to California. There Dr. Foster met Mrs. Woods and spent some time with her, though he never sought a divorce and was never legally married to the woman. Later he returned Army is Given Praise for Temperance THE standard of temperance in the army, for both officers and men, is exceptionally high, and is not exceeded in the other walks of life, unless in the church and among railroad employees," says Major General Frederick D. Grant in a report to the War Department. "While the soldier makes a favorable showing in this connection, in comparison with men in other vocations, General Grant, as commander of the department of the east during the last fiscal year, found nevertheless that the chief cause of court-martial trials was indulgence in alcoholic drinks. There was a remarkable decrease, he adds, in the number of trials by military courts in the department last year as compared with the previous 12 months. Army surgeons are urging the war department to act with greater promptness in discharging soldiers for physical disability, instead of trying to patch up worthless men for duty which they cannot properly perform. The chief surgeon of the department of the east has called attention to some specific instances where soldiers transferred to recruiting depots with and cupboards, was built in one end of the storeroom on the ground floor. A new telephone system was installed, and the furniture throughout the house was repainted or rubbed down while the president was at Beverly. Not the least part of the work of the office of public buildings and grounds was the part taken in social functions. During the year the office worked on four state dinners, ten small dinners, four musicales, two dances, two bally, four garden parties, and the president's silver wedding anniversary. At each of these functions the office was required to see that proper decorations were in order and to provide additional help to carry the affair to a success. Five hundred dollars -was paid for telegraph connections between the executive offices and the Capitol and the public printing office. The monument and wharf at Wakefield, Va., the birthplace of George Washington, also come under the head of public buildings and grounds, and a watchman is employed the year round to see that the grounds are kept in repair. Repairs to the grounds during the year cost $44.25. The house where Abraham Lincoln died, in Tenth street, between E and F street northwest, also is kept up by the government, and $182.34 was expended during the fiscal year in repairs. GAME LAWS ers and that a mistake crept into the game code. Vermont pleased the sportsmen when it barred claims of damages to the crops of landowners who "post" their property Vermont also abolished the allen license, and in West Virginia and Delaware the resident need no longer take out a license to hunt any game. It is astonishing to learn by inference that Massachusetts expects to number wild turkeys among its game birds. They are growing very scarce, even in Virginia. Nebraska now allows boys under 18 to hunt without a license if accompanied by parent or guardian. Idaho exempts veterans of the Civil war from "license requirements." A bear license is now necessary in Wyoming. It has been the fashion to pay a liberal bounty for bruin's peit. home and lived with his wife and two daughters until he left for Ensenada, Lower California. On the trip that ended in his murder, the Woods woman, it is understood, followed him into Mexico and was living with him near Alamo at the time he and three other Americans were slain in a most heartless manner. Until the time of the murder and the filing of double claims Dr. Foster's relatives in the east knew nothing of the kind of life he was leading in the west. The summary arrest and almost immediate killing of Dr. Foster and three other Americans named Duphos, Carroll and Patrick Brennan, has led to a situation that presages a bitter fight in Washington. Dr. Foster and the three other Americans were in prison at Alamo and the doctor was compelled to treat the wounded brought to that city. Among others he dressed the wounds of Gen. Simon Berthold, of the rebel army. Later he was ordered shot by General Verga and was killed while riding on horseback to what he was told was another prison. All four men were shot in the back and thrown into a shallow hole and covered with rubbish. THE STANDARD OF TEMPERANCE IN THE ARMY IS HIGH -! a view to their discharge had been held under observation and treatment for several months. "One case," he says, "diagnosed 'neuritis' remained 218 days; another 'ununited fracture,' 161 days; still another 'hammer toes,' 128 days. When it is recalled that these men were probably on sick report at their posts an average of 90 days before being recommended for discharge, it is reasonable to estimate that the government lost by the present plan with these cases alone the equivalent of the services of an effective soldier for more than an entire enlistment. "The army is neither an elemeosnary institution nor a place for the physically inefficient, and such should not be kept in it to the exclusion of fit soldiers." SIX MURDERED IN COLO. SPRINGS TWO ENTIRE FAMILIES, EXCEPT ING ONE, VICTIMS OF FIEND WITH AX. THEIR HEADS WERESPLIT HUSBAND OF ONE MURDERED WOMAN HELD ON SUS- Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs. — two families, six persons, were murdered while they slept in their homes in Colorado Springs. The deed was either that of a madman or an unknown enemy. The crime is shrouded in the deepest mystery and all the theories are only guesswork. It is supposed the crime was committed Sunday night and that for several days the victims lay in the channel houses. The six victims of the terrible crime, which was committed with an ax, are: Mrs. Alice May Burnham, wife of A. J. Burnham, cook at the Modern Woodmen sanitarium; their two children, Alice, aged six years, and John, aegd three years; Henry F. Wayne, a consumptive, until recently a patient at the Woodmen sanitarium; Mrs. Henry F. Wayne, Wayne's wife of three years, and their one-year-old baby girl. Mrs. Nettie Ruth, sister of Mrs. Burnham, and Miss Anna Merritt, a neighbor, discovered the bodies. Not until the officers had investigated at the Burnham house was it discovered that a similar wholesale slaughter had taken place in the Wayne cottage next door. Miss Merritt collapsed at sight of the bodies and is suffering from a severe heart attack. A. J. Burnham, husband of one of the murdered women, has been taken into custody pending an investigation. The police have no information now to fix the crime on anyone. Miss Merritt, who was a near friend of Mrs. Burnham, called with Mrs. Ruth at the Burnham house early in the afternoon. Getting no response to their knocks, Mrs. Ruth, it is said, opened a rear door with the key of her own house. Entering, they were staggered by an odor coming from a front room. On investigation they found Mrs. Burnham and her two children lying on the bed in the front room. The bedclothing was saturated with blood. Mrs. F. E. Campbell, one of the neighbors, called the attention of the officers to the deserted appearance of the Wayne cottage with its drawn shades and Sergeant J. H. Springer and Detective Tom Gavin forced an entrance. They found the three members of the Wayne family dead in one bed, their heads having been split with an ax, as were those of the Burnham family, while they slept. That the murderer tried to set fire to the Burnham home with a view to destroying the bodies of the three victims became evident upon investigation. A. J. Burnham, husband of Mrs Alice May Burnham, one of the women murdered, who is held on suspicion, is in his forties. He came to Colorado several years ago from his former home in Michigan, it is thought for his health. Six years ago he was married to Alice May Hill, then twenty years old. The position of the bodies in both houses would indicate that the victims had not a chance to make a struggle. In the Burnham home, Mrs Burnham lay on the north side of the bed with the little boy next to her. Apparently the girl had gotten away from her pillow, as her body lay slightly across that of her mother and towards the foot of the bed. The circumstances at the Wayne house were similar, even to the minutest detail. The family occupied one bed in the front room, and the murderer, after completing his work, carefully covered the bodies, even the faces of his victims, with the bedclothes. So carefully was this detail attended to at the Burnham home that articles of underclothing, a little coat belonging to the girl, and the everyday clothing of the victims were piled on the beds and were saturated with their blood. The district attorney's force is working with the sheriff's office and police. Reports that Burnham had confessed were disproved. That a confession is not unexpected was admitted. Meanwhile Burnham's family relations are being investigated and the wires are working between here and the place from which young Wayne and his girl wife came. Louisville, Ky. — Seven-year-old Albert Kittler, badly burned by cinders and nearly exhausted, was taken from the "blind baggage" of a passenger train here after tramping all the way from St. Louis. He came in on a fast train. Postoffice Robbed of $10,000. Sioux Falls, S. D.—A $10,000 package of currency mysteriously disappeared from the Sioux Falls postoffice and has not yet been recovered. PLEADS WITH ORGANIZATION TO TEACH MEMBERS OF RACE SELF CONTROL. Chicago.—Racial pride without drawing the color line was advocated by Booker T. Washington, in an address at the state fair ground coliseum to a crowd of 1,000 persons, the address being delivered in connection with the encampment of the colored Knights of Pythias. He took the position that the colored man should give the colored man the preference in business, just as the white man gives the white man the preference. He urged the colored people to encourage thrift, industry and honesty in their everyday life, and said that while the colored people labor under many handicaps and disadvantages in this country they ought to turn these handicaps to their own advantage and work out the problems that confront them. Mr. Washington was introduced by E. G. Tirdrington, Indiana grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, who referred to him as the greatest living negro and the leader of the negro race. Mr. Washington said in part: "At the present time there are certain functions which a fraternal organization can perform for the race after a manner that no other body can do. One of the functions of this organization is to teach pride of race, to teach our people to have faith in themselves. No race of people can prosper unless that race is proud of itself, proud of its past and of its present. I have no sympathy or patience with any black man of America who is not proud of the fact that he is an American negro. There are in some parts of the country, I am sorry to say, some colored people who are so weak and shortsighted that they would prefer to be third-rate white people rather than first-rate colored people. The Knights of Pythias teach us by precept and by example that there is as much glory in being a first-class colored man as in being a first-class white man. "We are as a nation within a nation in this country. There are more black people in the United States than the entire population of Canada. The number of black people in this country is greater than the total population of Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. The number is greater than the entire population of Mexico. We should be proud of our race. Just as the Englishman, as the Frenchman, the German and the Irishman are proud of their races, so should we be proud of our race. "We should be proud to belong to a race that has a struggle ahead, and which has a problem for every day in the year. History shows that when a race has no struggle and no problem to solve it finally disappears. "Whenever you get two black men and two white men together you have a race problem." "While we should be the last to draw the color line, at the same time we should see to it that in every wise and legitimate way our people are taught to patronize racial enterprise. If a colored man has a grocery store he should receive his share of racial patronage. If he has a shoe store he should get some of our dollars. If a colored man is a builder and contractor he should get a chance to build some of our houses and churches. If a colored man conducts a bank or a real estate concern he should get some of our money. "The trouble with our people is this: There are shoe stores in every city where, when a negro woman stops to buy a pair of shoes, she cannot have them tried on or fitted. They will not permit her to be fitted in the store. She must either take them home or they will be sent out to her and she fits them on herself. Yet, if a colored man opened a shoe store in that town the colored people would pass his place and go right back to the store where the colored woman could not have her shoes fitted. "There are millinery stores where a colored woman cannot have a hat fitted. She must try it on at home. Yet, if a colored milliner opened a store in the neighborhood, the colored women would pass it by and go right back to the store where they are not allowed to try on a hat. "Another part of the work of fraternal organization in this generation is to teach our people how to govern themselves, to direct, to control themselves. This means the teaching of the race to subordinate selfish and narrow ambitions in the interest of the general welfare. "Some people say that the negro cannot govern negroes; that they will not follow a leader or a foreman of their own race. They say the colored man must have a white boss. I say this is not true. The colored man does not need a white boss at any time. "It is a function of a fraternal organization to teach our people to have respect for racial workers, racial leadership; to teach our people to hold up the hands of those who have the responsibility of leadership and racial guidance thrust upon them. This organization in the past has held up the hands of its leaders, and 1 predict and urge that it will do so in the future." ASK FOR CARLSON'S Peerless Ice Cream Phones: Main 112 and Main 5787 S.P.

Not long ago I told the story of how General Zachary Taylor unconsciously made the revolver popular after its inventor, Samuel Colt, had failed to induce the army and the public to look kindly upon the new weapon. Colonel Colt always gave "Old Rough and Ready" full credit for making the revolver a commercial success, and to his intimate friends he sometimes declared that it was General Taylor, also, who perhaps kept him from being known to fame as the inventor of the transatlantic cable. One of the friends to whom he thus expressed himself was Marshall Jewell, who was a fellow townman of Colt's, in Grant's cabinet as postmaster-general, before that minister to Russia and twice governor of Connecticut, and, like Colt, for many years one of the leading manufacturers of Connecticut. "When the country was going wild over the laying of the first Atlantic cable," said Governor Jewell, "and over the exchange of messages between Queen Victoria and President Buchanan, Colt told me that a number of years earlier—at about the time when Professor Morse was perfecting his telegraph system—he conceived the idea that it would be possible to lay a telegraph line upon the bed of a river or along the coast that would be successful, and he furthermore was of the opinion that there was nothing in science which stood in the way of laying a telegraph line upon the ocean bed from continent to continent. "Now Sam Colt was a man who, when an idea occurred to him involving invention and experiment, never let it lapse unless he had tested it and found it wanting. So he had a good many talks with Professor Morse in the latter's little laboratory on the top floor of a building facing Washington Square, in New York, and he learned from Morse that the great obstacle that stood in the way of a submarine telegraph line was inability to secure an insulating medium. "That statement was sufficient to set Sam Colt at work experimenting to see whether or not he could find some inexpensive material which would serve as an insulator to a telegraph wire under water. He made a good many experiments. Rubber was out of the question; it was too costly. But it occurred to him that cotton yarn was cheap and that if he soaked the yarn in beeswax, which is a non- John Brougham's Reminiscences of the Way Fame and Fortune Missed Him and Fell to Others. "What queer pranks destiny plays us!" said John Brougham one autumn evening in 1877. We were sitting in the New York study of the Irish actor and playwright whose name was widely known in England and America in connection with matters theatrical from 1840 until his death in 1850. "I was thinking," Mr. Brougham continued, "how queerly the fates have allotted their gifts so far as I am concerned. There is the case of 'London Assurance,' for instance, which has been a favorite with English and American playgoers ever since its first production in Covent Garden in 1841 by Dion Boucicault. In the writing of that comedy I collaborated with Dion Boucicault, yet almost all of the money which came from its production went to Dion, and the play made his reputation as a playwright, while John Brougham remained insignificant all the time that it was being compared favorably with Sheridan's "The Rivals." "Ah, yes, there is such a thing as luck in the world of the drama as well as in the world of business, and a later experience, and an even more striking one than this with 'London Assurance,' will serve to illustrate the point. "Not long after my return to the United States after the close of the Civil war I was reading over for the fourth or fifth time Charles Dickens' 'Old Curliosity Shop'—a great favorite of mine—when the idea suddenly occurred to me that if just the right actress could be found it would be possible to write a play based on the novel in which the characters of Little Nell and the Marchioness could be taken by the same person. I realized that it would require a great deal of dramatic ability, a wonderful versatility, for any one to play Little Nell in one act and the Marchioness in another; but I kept the idea in mind, and later was told that a young girl who had not been in New York many years from California, where she had appeared on the stage as a mere child, would just fit the dual role both in physique and dramatic ability. It was proposed that I write a play for this Chance Meeting of Enemies conductor, and put it around a wire, protecting the whole with asphaltum, and then carried the wire thus insulated through a lead pipe, he would overcome the difficulty. "This scheme of insulation worked perfectly in the laboratory; and Colt procuring a wire long enough to stretch from Fire Island to what is now Coney Island, N. Y., insulated it with his mixture, encased the whole in a lead pipe and sunk it beneath the waves. This was the first submarine telegraph cable laid; so far as transmission of electric signals was concerned it was successful, and Colt, after the Morse telegraph had been proved a commercial success a year or two later, determined to develop the submarine cable commercially, first by laying short ocean cables, and then a transatlantic one. "But, 'curiously enough,' as Sam Colt used to put it to me, just when he was all but over the preliminary work, General Zachary Taylor, then fighting the Mexicans, sent in to him an order for a thousand revolvers—which Colt had ceased to make a number of years before because no one would buy the weapon—and Colt, seeing a splendid business chance in Taylor's order, at once set to work to fill it, the result being that a large demand soon grew up for the revolver. The meeting of this demand occupied all of Colonel Colt's time and energy, and as he saw a fortune rapidly growing out of the manufacture and sale of the weapon, he thought How Isaiah Rhynders, Rabid Pro-Slavery Advocate, and William Lloyd Garrison, Leader of Abolitionists, Became Acquainted. The present generation has forgotten Isaiah Rhynders. Yet in the antebellum days his name was a familiar one. It symbolized northern pro-slavery sentiment. Its bearer was regarded by the abolitionists as a sort of ogre, a man dominated by ferocity of political sentiment. He was, indeed, one of the most rabid of all the pro-slavery Democrats of the north, and as United States marshal for the southern district of New York, to which office he was appointed first by President Pierce, be bent his energies to running down fugitive slaves and returning them to their masters. I met Marshal Rhynders in 1875. To my surprise, I saw a man of slender build, a man of most gentle demeanor, young girl, in which she would appear alternately as Little Nell and the Marchioness, certain terms were mentioned to me, and I accepted the proposition and went to work. "Well, in due time I fixed up the play, and when it was produced in 1867 it made one of the greatest successes of the American stage It made the fame of Charlotte Crabtree, better known as Lotta. It was the basis of the fortune she now possesses—and she deserves every penny of it, dear girl. But again John Brougham was obscure; nor had he more than a paltry return of money for his work. Would you have known, if I had not told you just now, that it was I who dramatized Little Nell and the Marchioness?" The Irish actor-playwright smiled philosophically. "Ah, me," he said, "I am not complaining. It is all fate, and I presume this will be my fate until the end." Three years later, at the age of 70, Brougham died, leaving the manuscript of a play upon which he had based great hopes, but which, by reason of his death, was never produced.

While tramping across the great Central plain of Hungary recently several workmen made a pathetic discovery, finding a beautiful young girl lying in a newly dug grave. Happily life was not extinct, and the workmen carried her tenderly back to Gross Wardein, when a doctor soon restored animation. The girl then stated that she lived in a village some 200 miles away, but had tramped the whole distance, see her soldier lover. When she got to the barracks her sweetheart was ashamed of her because she was ragged and dust-stained and declined to speak to her. The broken-hearted girl attempted to tramp back home, but as she no money and had eaten nothing for three days, she decided to commit suicide and bury herself alive. Humiliated Indian Tribe When the Quakers came to Pennsylvania in 1682 the only Indians in the neighborhood were the Dela wares, who had just been terribly beaten by the Five Nations and forced into a treaty by which they submitted to be called women. less and less of the submarine cable, finally dropping from his mind all his old plans in connection with it. "Perhaps, had he held to those plans, they might have been successful. Sam Colt to the day of his death always held that they would have been successful; and he likewise always believed that Cyrus W. Field got his first idea of submarine telegraphy from the little cable that was laid by Colt in New York harbor back in 1843." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Story of a $50 Bill. A most charming Philadelphia woman came to New York for the day and her husband handed her a fifty-dollar bill for tips and small change, relates the New York Telegraph. At the station in Philadelphia she left the Pullman to buy a periodical, leaving her bag carelessly on the seat. There was another woman occupying the adjacent chair. Upon her return the Philadelphia woman opened her bag and found no fifty-dollar bill. She made no accusation, but when the other woman fell asleep she quietly opened her bag and abstracted the bill. In New York they bowed amicably and parted. When the Philadelphia returned home her husband asked her if she had enjoyed the trip. "Yes, but I spent all the money," she replied. "All the money," said the husband. "Why, I was worrying over the fact that you left your fifty-dollar bill on your dressing table." with a bright and kindly expression in his eye, and a smile that told of his fondness for humor. Could this be the man who had been painted as a demon in human form not so very many years before? As we sat talking reminiscently of the days when Rhynders was in the thick of events political, the door of the room-of the postmaster of New York opened and there entered a gentleman whose manner and features betokened the scholar, the man of cultivation and refinement. His height must have been something more than six feet. His dress was that of a man who knows how to dress well but not conspicuously. At once saw that the postmaster was in some embarrassment. He looked furtively at Marshal Rhynders, then again at the newcomer, and then, evidently mustering his courage, he said: "I am very glad of this opportunity to bring into acquaintance two men who have been known for many years to each other by name, but who, I presume, have never met personally. Marshal Rhynders, I take great pleasure in introducing you to my personal friend William Lloyd Garrison." Mr. Garrison, the great leader of the Abolitionists, the first in all the north to agitate against slavery, and to teach opposition to the fugitive slave law, and Marshal Rhynders, typifying in his career and symbolizing in his name the more rabid pro-slavery party of the decade before the Civil war, stood facing one another for an instant. Mr. Garrison was penetrating the ex-United States marshal with his glance, while Rhynders, on the other hand, was studying the personality of the great anti-slavery leader. In a moment, however, they seemed to realize fully that the issues which had given them fame were of the past. Each extended his hand, they took seats side by side and a moment or two later the postmaster and I went out of the room unobserved, for those two men were engaged in intimate conversation. Perhaps half an hour later William Lloyd Garrison came from the postmaster's room through the anteroom where he met us. His face was beaming. "I found Marshal Rhynders a most interesting and entertaining man," he said. "I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet and chat with him." Then he went away, and as he did so Marshal Rhynders stepped into the anteroom. "Garrison is a great man and a good man," he said, earnestly, sincerely. "We became friends. I shall always remember the conversation I have just had with him, and I am glad to think that he may have obtained a different impression of me than he had in the days when slavery was a great issue."

"Something doing" is the announcement which commands the attention of an expectant people, and the desire for movement, action, excitement, has become so universal that all the old, modest customs and habits of society are being abandoned, and all who aspire to lead or command are finding themselves under actual obligation to "start something" and keep it going. President Taft has begun a great across-the-continent speaking tour, in which he expects to elucidate and make plain to the people the exact working character of all the important administrative policies with which he has had to deal as President, or with which he expects or hopes to deal in the future. In reality, the jaunt is the beginning of his own campaign for renomination as the endorsed head of the Republican party and the approved executive of the Nation. It is his own method of starting something which shall call for the widest attention of all people in the two years next approaching. But every other man who has an ambition and a plan to bring about universal development is hitting the Progressive highway just as hard and using every available means to attract attention and support. In other fields of endeavor and honor, the same methods are being employed. The daring aviator has already started his coast-to-coast aeroplane race, to command his share of the world's attention, and Jack Johnson is planning another round-the-world voyage to finally clinch the matter of his pugilistic supremacy before final retirement from the ring. So it goes with all the progressives. Something new, outlined upon a program as big as you can conceive it and properly handle it, is the rule of action. Those who would lead in any field must lay out and start the big works themselves and thereby draw their following. There is no more waiting to be sought out and shoved to the front. If you want anything more than ordinary in this world at present, just make up your mind that you have got to peel off your coat and start that thing for folks to look at. natural resources was a suf it long ago, but now we hew however, that the principle oularly at the Nation's w people, has been laid asid in truth for that. We been thoroughly established at a public official is carel matter of saving the natura CONSERVATION of natural resources was a subject of large prominence and general discussion not long ago, but now we hear little of it. We should not take it for granted, however, that the principle raised and so widely discussed, and aimed particularly at the Nation's wastefulness, through the neglect or oversight of its people, has been laid aside or forgotten. It is too well founded in truth for that. We should better understand that the principle has been thoroughly established and generally accepted, for now the suspicion that a public official is careless of the public interest, present or future, in the matter of saving the natural resources of wealth and of thereby guarding the interests of future generations, is sufficient to bring down upon his head the wrath and condemnation of all the people. Public waste, either by neglect or carelessness, is looked upon as a sin against the welfare of the people and a wanton sacrifice of the advantages upon which their prosperity and progress depend. And not only is the principle becoming fixed in public life, but it is being injected into every form of business enterprise to such an extent that expert managers and supervisors, who have learned how to diligently apply the principles of the conservation of relative forces for the improvement of business and an increased output, with relative profits, without waste of energy or increase of cost, are greatly in demand. It is merely the expression of the principle of scientific saving. But it has a vast meaning to Nation and individual. Its immediate benefits will be plainly recognized, but the greater volume thereof will find its realization in richer and stronger generations to follow those which now inaugurate it. It is a wise and beautiful exemplification of loyalty to country and race. That is the most interesting part of it as we now observe it and study its natural and unalterable results. The colored American is woefully wasteful in nearly all of his fixed habits; he is especially wasteful of his means and energies, his time and opportunities, which constitute his chief stock in trade. It is a common boast among us that we "live well." And we do live exceptionally well for a people who are classified as poor. As a race we are slaves to our appetites and to our passions for pleasure and display. Most of us eat more than is necessary to keep us well and strong, and then we waste much that ought to be saved and used. An orderly, limited diet is quite unknown to our ordinary wage-earners, who, as a rule, will "skimp" every other expense to overload their table or to "entertain." And our children are raised and tutored with these notions of unrestricted appetites and strained indulgences always before them. From the poorest of us, up, it is a racial weakness. In only a few households is the virtue and the necessity of saving, everlasting saving, consistently taught. We do not care for the future of the race if it costs us the sacrifice of good eating and good times. Our appetites and the false standards of society make the sacrifice seem impossible. And yet that is just what every other people have had to do—limit their appetites, conserve their powers, and save, save, save. That is what every race, that is making solid headway and permanent advancement, is doing now. True race progress means a building up for the future generations by a saving of present means. There is no other way. Leaving our children to get along and to do as we have done, is for the race to stand still. Not all of us do this, but most of us do it. Our hope is in the conservation of the few and the reform of the many from wastefulness and foolish indulgence to simple, frugal living and the acquirement of property and riches. WASTE. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The time is ripe, if ever it was, for every negro of respectability, energy and thrift, to own their own residence. If they already do not own one. The man who works six days in each week and without ceasing should at least put aside a percentage of each week's wages, so that in a reasonable time the nucleus will have been secured towards the first payment on a home. We have from time to time written article after article upon this subject. We have pleaded with, threatened and abused whenever we thought it would do some good on this line, and we believe results have been attained for we have noticed that there is activity in the purchase of real estate by the colored people of this city. We mean by that the purchase of small places for homes, not as investments. If this is done in proportion to the numbers represented by the negroes in the population of this city, according to the advantages offered them in the field of labor, and with the remuneration equalized as it is today, there is no earthly reason why they should not purchase a home whenever they so desire. Men may claim that the negro is full of idleness, that he is thriftless, and that he will not work regularly and stick to it. This certainly is untrue and when reduced to facts and figures it can be shown that the labor of the entire south is today handled by the negro and in many places he is clamoring for work and cannot get it. This is different here, for in South Carolina and especially adjacent to Charleston there is and has been sufficient work for all who may apply and with wages from thirty-three and one-third to fifty per cent better than a few years ago. Occasionally or at certain seasons some classes of labor might decrease or slacken up for a month or so, but taken as a whole, the year round, the laborer is truly worthy of his hire. Then let the man who is at the head of a family consider these things, save his money and build him a home, however humble, for the protection of his family in the days when age and infirmity will cause him to cease from active labor.—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. Rev. H. H. Proctor, speaking on "Egypt and Its Light on the Relation of the Races" in Atlanta, said: "Egypt is the gateway of Africa, the cradle of civilization and, the mother of the Holy Land, Calro, the center of Egyptian life, presents many contrasts between the new and the old world, but its chief interest is historic. Its pyramids constitute the earliest monuments to human industry. It is evident from a study of the great museum in Calro that a great people occupied this territory. They were great in agriculture, art, science and religion. It is also clear that blacks played a great part in this civilization. Among the evidences of this are the busts and pictures of kings seen in the museum. The kings and queens were of various colors. The features of the Sphinx are those of a negro and the colossal statue of Rameses II., excavated at Memphis, shows him to be of black origin. The Pharaoh before whom Moses pleaded was the son of Rameses I. and was, therefore of Negrition origin." James Shelton, Indianapolis, member of the ways and means committee, called upon E. Lung, Chinman, for a subscription, says an exchange. Shelton told Lung that he would guarantee that he would wash 5,000 more shorts during the K. of P. encampment. Lung didn't believe it and replied, "Niggie ain't got 5,000 shirtee. Niggie only got one shirtee." Shelton insisted that 5,000 negroes represented at least 5,000 shirts and that Lung ought to subscribe for he would see that they would bring all their shirts to his laundry. The Chinman laughed and said: "I g'e you dollie, but niggie ain't got 5,000 shirtee. Niggie's shirtees are no good. They lose checkee. Don't you send 5,000 nigges here—sare my baby. Tell nigge no checkee no shirtee. Give dolle." Mr. Shelton accepted Lung's dollar and declared he would never try to induce a Chinman to subscribe to another negro enterprise as long as he lives."Dallas Express. Dr. Booker T. Washington's appearance in the Alabama case at the White House was that of a patriotic citizen of Alabama, a defender of the civic privileges of his race and a foe to the reactionary forces that would delegate the negro to the bacground. Doctor Washington is in no sense a politician. He gives his opinion of public matters when an expression can do good. He does his duty as a wide-awake American should.—Texas Freeman. Pessimism is not a word or term with which to conjure, if you would lift men up or prepare them to unlock for themselves those causes that contain the essentials of a useful, practical life. The man, woman or child who is pessimistic is foredoomed to failure.—Ex. Inman E. Page, president of Langston university, Langton City, Okla. in his speech before the National Negro Business league at Little Rock, Ark. told what the negro was doing in education, and how he was being helped by the state. The institution started just thirteen years ago with 40 acres of land, without the mule, 40 students and four teachers. The state then appropriated $5,000 for the support of the school for two years. He recounted the success year by year, until at present it has 320 acres, 25 teachers, 673 students and the national government had given 100,000 acres of land for the endowment of a negro school. The change in political parties did not make any change in the interest of the white people in the negro's progress, because just after the change the main building was destroyed by fire, and the legislature appropriated $100,000 for the erection of another building, which far surpassed the former one. "We are turning out teachers to teach the negro race, lawyers to plead for the negro, and doctors to cure the negro race," he said. Other addresses were delivered by J. E. Johnson, cashier of the People's Bank and Trust company; John W. Simmons of Coweta. "The Negro in Oklahoma;" I. W. Young, M. D. Boley, R. W. Tolliver, D. D. Boley and R. Emmett Stewart, the negro lawyer. Stewart spoke of his lucrative practice, and asked for a stenographer at once, saying that he was in position to pay a salary of $100 a month. Quite a large crowd of colored people and a considerable number of representative white people gathered in Bethel church in Atlanta to hear the address of W. T. Vernon, ex-register of the treasury, who is now connected with the interior department as supervisor of education. His present appointment was made some time ago by President Taft and comes as a reward for his able work in Kansas, where he is a leader. His address was an interesting and instructive one. He urged that there should be peace and a cordial understanding between the races here in the south, and that this was the first and most important requisite for progress. "This can be easily done, for the best white people are the real friends of the law-abiding colored citizens. I am the child of slave parents," he continued, "and we are here to stay, to live in this country, where we have been for the last three hundred years, and we mean to remain here. We must work out our destiny as other people have done, and must pay and must make sacrifices." He was introduced by Bishop J. S. Flipper of Arkansas, and the closing remarks were by the pastor, Dr. C. M. Tanner. Vernon came here from Hampton institute, and will go from here to Tuskegee, following the work of his department. The census reports thus far issued show in regard to agricultural conditions in the south two things: First, in both the South Atlantic and the south central states the value of farm lands and farm buildings has considerably more than doubled. They have increased in the South Atlantic states from $1,205,350,000 in 1900 to $2,476,152,000 in 1910, an increase of $1,269,802,000. In the south central states the increase has been even greater. The value of farm lands and buildings in 1900 was $2,072,672,000, and in 1910 it was $4,837,353,000, an increase of $2,764,681,000. Second, during this time the number of farms has steadily increased, showing that the plantations are breaking up and the era of the small farmer has arrived, while during the same period the number of negro land owners has increased much more rapidly than the number of white land owners. This certainly looks as if the negro was not going backward in the south, no matter how much the planters howl about negro labor.—New York Age. When a backward race gets far enough advanced to attract widespread attention and command a healthy opposition, no better evidence of its progress is needed. When the negro was a slave he had no opposition because he was not in competition with the white man. But fifty years of freedom have brought him to the point where he is debated on in college, written about in the magazines and newspapers, discussed in politics, preached on from the pulpit, argued about in homes and even made the subject of drama. None but a rising people could command all this attention.—Ex. Debt is an awful burden upon any human being, who has experienced it. Some of our people will get into it, seeing no way of getting out, then they will be harassed. Recently we saw several of these victims being formented and humiliated by these loan sharks, who make double their money loaned by practicing usury. Dealing with this system only means shame and disgrace to you in a long run. Try to economize and get er foot—Palestine Plaindealer. $15 SALE OF LADIE'S FALL SUITS We are going to sell the best Suits that can be had for the money, and make all alterations without extra charge. and make all alterations within the.

Rich and Milton Gifford and placed in a large bottle, rather than be held captive, committed suicide by biting its body nearly in two several inches above its rattles. Ouray Man Ends Life. Ouray.—James Law, living at Portland, four miles north of here, took strychnine and sat down to await its effects. His wife became suspicious and questioned him, but he deceived her. Soon afterward he fell in a spasm, when she telephoned for a doctor, who tried to contract the effect of the poison, without avail, Law dying soon afterwards. Big Swindler Still Bush. Grand Junction.—R. V. Smith, who is charged with swindling Denver; grain dealers to the extent of $13,000, found a victim in E. R. Bowie. Smith wrote stating to Bowie that he had surplus oats to sell, and sold one carload. Smith presented freight receipts and bills of lading that are called false and was paid $800, eighty-five per cent. of the amount for the entire carload. Presbyterian Church Splits. Denver.—The threatened breach between the Presbytery of Denver and the Union Presbyterian church, which has existed for a year or more, culminated when at a meeting of the judicatory body the church formally withdrew from the Presbytery. Both the Presbytery and the church are adamant in their stands and a bitter controversy which may effect the whole Presbyterian organization in this city is feared. Mother Kills Children and Self. Cañon City.—While temporarily insane, Mrs. T. W. Garrett shot, and killed her six-year-old son and her four-year-old daughter Juanita, and then turned the weapon upon herself, putting a bullet through her heart. Her husband, returning a half hour later, found all three dead upon the floor. Neighbors had heard the shots, but had not tried to learn their origin. They had seen Mrs. Garrett drag her son from the back yard into the house and a few minutes later three shots were heard. To Open Fairplay Lands. Washington.—As a result of an investigation by the forest service at the request of Senator Guggenheim, it is believed a large area in the vicinity of Fairplay will soon be released from the Leadville national forest. Some time ago Senator Guggenheim took the matter up with the forest service, which ordered an examination of the lands with a view to their elimination from the reserve. The senator has private advices that the examination has been completed and the report, which is believed to be favorable, is en route to Washington. The result of the elimination of this area would be to open a new mining field in Colorado, for many years practically denied to prospectors because of its incorporation in the forest reserve. Colorado postal savings banks designated today are Burlington, Steamboat Springs, Magnolia, Hayden and Craig. Coal Production Decreases. The reports of State Coal Mine Inspector James Dalrymple show that there was a decrease of 1,454,632 in the number of tons of coal produced during the first six months of 1911, as compared with the first six months of 1910. On account of this falling off in production it is believed that prices of coal will advance rapidly with the first cold spell. The number of men employed during the period was 13,700, as compared with 14,768 for 1910. LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurrii or the State Worth While.

Fishing is reported at its best in all parts of the state, the weather and low water being favorable to large catches. A direct long distance telephone line has been completed between Denver and El Paso, Texas, a distance of 750 miles. Bitten by a centipede at her home in Pueblo, Mrs. S. E. James is in a serious condition, with two physicians attending her.

Akers, while riding a motorcycle near Colorado Springs on the Pueblo road, collided with an automobile, and died two hour later. Ranchmen in the vicinity of Salida are very much interested in establishment of a creamery at that place, and it is probably a movement now on foot will succeed.

It was reported by fishermen that thousands of fish ranging from two to twenty inches in length are floating on the surface and washed upon the banks in the vicinity of the Halligan dam, several miles from Fort Collins. Several counties in the state threaten to institute mandamus proceedings against State Treasurer Roady Kenehan and State Auditor Michael A. Leddy, to secure an aggregate of $40,000 which they claim was appropriated to them by the Seventeenth General Assembly for road building. Peaches have been going out of Delta for ten days at the rate of fifty to sixty cars a day. Nearly 500 car loads have already left the county and between 200 and 300 cars are still to be shipped. At Paonia hundreds of boxes have gone to waste for want of packers. Land companies in the East which make a business of bringing settlers to Colorado to locate on government land on what are considered misrepresentations, thus injuring the reputation of the state, are in disrepute with the United States Land Office.

COLORADO ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION GEORGIA'S EVIDENCE OF APPRECIATION OF THE OLD ANTESELLUM NEGRO, IN PRACTICAL FORM ABOUT TO BE IN MATERIAL SHAPE IN ATHENS. She bends beneath the weight of years with feeble feet and slow. Yet in her heart there throbs and shines the light of long ago; Of days when on her dear old face there played an angel smile, As in her blessed arms she held and crooned to sleep "her chile." The color of a lowly race shone with its ebon glow, And yet the "old black mammy's soul was white as driven snow; Her toilworn hands were hard and true through a bonded years. To mistlew and the little ones in gladness and in tears; And through war's wearing agency her heart was free from gulle, And loyal to the bitter end to "Mistus" and "her chile." Her ranks are waning year by year on southern hill and plain, And when the last black mammy's gone she'll never come again. Yet somewhere on the aridrant hills beeyed with woe and wile, Her dear old arms will fold again o' Mistus and "her chile." God bless her—fill her weary feet shall touch the shining shore; God keep her with his faithful ones at rest forevermore! Athens, Ga.—In a few days it is hoped there will be begun the first work of actual building upon an institution which is unique in its nature and original in its naming—the Black Mammy Memorial institute. There have been news notes and coarse allusions to the project in the public press for the past several months, but only recently has the institution been really crystallized into what it will actually be in its beginning. As it is the plans are for an expenditure three or four times what the author of the idea believed he could raise to put in it a year ago. Beginning on hopes of raising a thousand or twelve hundred dollars for a modest building, the plan became known and from every section of the state, from Old Virginia and from the southerners in the northern state and from as ardent northerners came suggestions and advices which expanded the plans to somewhat meet the recognized fitness and the appreciated offices which the "racial peace monument" should mean. Instead of five acres of land twenty-five have been bought on an eminence in full sight of the University of Georgia and with a view out over the immense tract embraced in the extension territory of the university and state college of agriculture—all but in sight of the homes of Grady, the Cobbs, and Toombs and Hills—In sight of the scenes frequented by hundreds who made the Old South the paradise of history and the elysium of romance. The charter of the association reveals the object of the institution: "To maintain a school to prepare colored boys and young men and colored girls and young women for the practical duties of life by training them for domestic service and for service in the arts and trades, and likewise give them such academic training as will best fit them for carrying out the main objects of this school." There "is to be no capital stock and there is no pecuniary gain to be made." The teachers are to be paid moderate salaries and the one who has been instrumental in bringing the great plan of the memorial institute to a desired consummation has been giving his nights and holidays and vacation times to this labor of love while he made a living teaching in the city schools of Athens. The young negro teacher whose work has brought to pass the practical memorial which shall not only serve as a monument of stone but a living remembrance in active hearts and lives of a newer sort of trained negro youth, is himself a grandson of the "old black mammy" of the days that were. Mrs. John D. Moss, a member of one of the wealthiest families of the state, has taken a care to find out something about this young negro and she tells the story of his struggle and his success, of his quiet seven years of effort and thought in the interest of the institution which he is now to lead. Sam F Harris was born in Athens thirty-six years ago and his grandfather, whose name he bears, was a slave in a wealthy Georgia family, who "hired out" his time as a skilled shoe maker and made considerable money at this vocation. Young Sam Harris was educated at the Athens city schools and in the Atlanta university. Coming back from college he was in charge of the colored schools at Gainesville when that system was first organized, under Prof. R. E. Park, now head of the English department at the university—being the first colored teacher ever paid a salary in Gainesville. After a year there he was made principal of the colored high school in Athens and has had that position ever since. Even in this place he soon added "industrial" to the high school's name. A meeting of some of the most prominent educators and business and professional men in Athens was held at the office of Judge John J. Strickland in the interest of the project. Those present were: William T. Bryan, president of the Athens Electric railway and industrial builder of this section; Billups Philzay, president of the Southern Mutual Insurance company and capitalist; T. P. Vincent of the Georgia National bank; John E. Talmadge, Sr., president of Talmadge Mills and head of the wholesale house of Talmadge; John D. Moss, president Moss Cotton company; E. R. Hodgson, president Empire State Chemical company: David C. Barrow, chancellor of the university; Judge H. S. West and Judge J. J. Strickland, with Prof. Sam Harris. The organization applied for and was granted a charter and additional men were interested. A board of trustees was elected; W. T. Bryan, Athens, president; John E. Talmadge, Sr., Athens; John D. Moss, Athens; Robert F. Maddox of Atlanta, H. H. Dean of Gainesville, and C. J. Hood of Commerce. Colored directors were named and among them were the four who first met and worked out a plan with Harris for an industrial school; David Hawkins, Simon Pope, A. T. Chunn, Moses Milner, W. A. and M. G. Gilham, L. Hunt, Jackson Spalding, and F. S. Harris. It is planned to build the Memorial hall according to the adopted outline by the architect—old southern style, at a cost of $15,000. There will be built also two dormitories costing $10,000 each. The institution already owns 25 acres of land in the suburbs of Athens—enhanced since it was purchased and estimated at a valuation of $5,000. The south will be asked to contribute to this fund of $25,000 to erect this working monument to the most faithful worker the old south ever knew. The responses it is confidently believed will make the modest sum for initial building look modest indeed. The courses that are designed to by taught include industrial and academic lines. Housekeeping, cooking, sewing, nurse training, laundering, dairying, poultry raising, agriculture, carpentry, masonry, English or common school studies, Bible, hygiene, chemistry, and morals. These courses, the principal says, are designed to meet the needs of those who will make some phase of domestic or industrial labor their life occupation, not as teachers or leaders, but as intelligent industrial workers and citizens. It is that the masses, the average, everyday, common laborer may have an opportunity to fit himself for real, useful living and service, this line of education will be followed. And the institution will serve not only Georgia, but the country at large. GOVERNOR PRAISES RACE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF ARKANSAS TELLS DELEGATES TO BUSINESS LEAGUE CONVENTION THAT NEGROES ARE A REMARKABLE PEOPLE. Little Rock, Ark.-All the delegates to the twelfth annual session of the National Negro Business league left this city with words of praise for Governor Donaghey, who made a notable address to the delegates at Kempner's theater. Governor Donaghey was applauded often. "Some men might be embarrassed to come here under such circumstances, but I am not in the least, because I know who I am talking to. I am talking to people I was raised with. I know them and understand them, and they know me. There is no trouble between us. Everything is all right. I know your strong points and I know your weaknesses. "I am greatly pleased to welcome you. You are a remarkable people—remarkable more than for your color or your plantation melodies. Behold the astounding progress you have made in 50 years. "What are the prominent elements in the solution of the race problem? First, your unfalling good humor. The Irish—my own people—have this quality, but not to so marked a degree as yours. It has carried and is carrying you through your hardships. You are said to be an imitative race, but you never suicide or suffer from nervous trouble. Another distinguishing character of your race is your loyalty and your devotion. No race is so loyal and devoted as yours." THE NEW POSTMASTER. Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster general, tells a story to illustrate that sometimes mistakes are made in the service of which he has charge. A rural postmaster, it was found, never answered any of the official communications and directions sent to him, but he was always prompt in sending in his monthly reports. Finally, an inspector was sent to his office to find out what the trouble was. "Here is a bunch of letters and documents," the postmaster explained to the inspektor, "and I don't know what to do with them. They have on them the initials 'P. M.' and nobody with those initials lives in this community." The inspector muttered something about "heads of solid ivory" and said, in emphatic language, that "P. M." stood for postmaster."—Popular Magazine. HIS LULLABY. "Good morning, Mr. Schneiderpoppki!" exclaimed the good lady of the house as the new second-floor back took his place at the breakfast table. "Goot mor-r-nring!" replied the musician, bowing gallantly. "I'm so afraid you didn't pass a comfortable night," pursued the hostess, sympathetically. "Can we do anything for you?" thing for you. "Not koomfortable? Me? " explained the long-haired one. "Ach, ja I slee' like ze humming bird! I was oll rite. Joost before I go to bed I bractise it mein feed—" "Oh, was that it?" interrupted the hostess, with a look of glad relief. "I'm so pleased. We thought you were stuffing the bed."—Answers.

Early Fall Hats I P THREE hats, of distinctly different types, are pictured here, each one of them an example of excellent millinery. The alpine shape, with folded overcrown is a soft braid in yellow with facing of black velvet and wide collar of the same. The tall pointed "mother goose" crown is flattened and brought down to the brim at the left, where a bunch of velvet cherries in the natural colors, with twigs and foliage, provide a touch of brilliant color. It is a dashing hat, with a hint of the "boyish" in it, especially suited to some girls. The soft cap made of rather heavy messaline, and trimmed with a big wire bow of the silk, looks much like a glorified bathing cap. It is a beautiful piece of work and illustrates the season's trend toward simple effects, arrived at through intricate and painstaking work on the part of the milliner. It is very beautiful made of soft, changeable taffetas in the rich color combination which appear in this fabric. It needs no additional trimming, although many models are shown in this type with lace falling about the face, and tiny flowers or bunches of small velvet fruit, in one or two points Can Be Bought Now Comparatively Cheap—Expenditure Is Considered a Good One. A shop here in town which I discovered the other day is intended, to my way of thinking, for the woman who wishes individual china. Here they import the plain white china in the most delicate and beautiful shapes I have ever seen and decorate it to suit the customers' ideas, room, table decorations or anything the customer chooses. And the best point is that although this work is done beautifully in gold and colors which are lasting and in patterns which are of unusual beauty to say the least, the charge is very reasonable. For instance a dinner set of fine French china, consisting of one hundred pieces (and the customer may choose these to a certain extent—that is, one does not have to buy useless covered dishes and soup tureens, but may substitute other pieces) with a delicate coin gold border and a gold monogram of any style, sells for $50; and when I compare it with the sets usually-sold at that price I only wonder why everybody who has $50 to spend doesn't order this china. For there is nothing in better taste than a simple fine gold-bordered china, and the individuality of one's monogram adds greatly to its beauty.—Smart Set. Crudities in Color. Colors are still being blended and crude bright effects continue to claim our allegiance, though there are evidences of a coming change in this direction. Meantime, however, one of the most exclusive and refined of dress designs offers an emerald green evening gown, semi-empire in style, with green and blue jeweled motifs for trimming and dark red roses on the corsage, which has a decolletage drapery of pink net with a sash of the same net tasseled with brilliants and colored beads. It sounds rather remarkable, but it was done so harmoniously that its effect was distinctly pleasing as well as chic. Skirt Pads. Some dressmakers frequently have great difficulty in making skirts cut with the raised waist line hang straight in front at the line of the normal waist. At this point the skirt breaks and is apt to show an ugly wrinkle, especially when the wearer is seated. This can be avoided by making a small oblong pad of the same material as the skirt and inserting it directly in front. The pad is made four inches long and two inches wide and is placed lengthwise with the skirt. It can be tacked in place. C. W. above the frill. It is suited to matrons as well as maids and resembles the corday (of pleasant memory) except that it is smaller—a veritable cap. The bonnet-like shape of velvet-faced with silk, has a soft crown shaped over a crinoline foundation. Here again one sees the fashion of using the same materials for the body of the hat and the trimming. The wings are of velvet like the hat, lined with silk like its facing. They are carefully made and finished with fine silk braid. There is nothing startlingly new in this shape but it will be all the more popular for that. For of many similar shapes, it is about the most artistic and becoming. The lift or upturn at the back of the brim is a characteristic of the season—which is being featured by many designers here and especially by one of the foremost in Paris. This shape is not becoming, as a rule to older women. It looks best on round faces; and then must possess a truth of girlishness. The same brimlines, with a different crown and trimming, however, have proven their worth for older wearers. — For a between season's dress, Shantung is a most useful material, as it is light in weight yet a little warmer than muslin or lawn. The dress we illustrate here is in Japanese blue, trimmed with straps of golden brown and black silk and black buttons with simulated button-holes. The skirt is slightly full at the waist, where it is gathered; points of the fancy silk stand up from the waist each side front. The deep collar which is square at the back and pointed in front, is bound with silk and ornamented with buttons, the sleeves being trimmed to match. Golden brown straw hat, trimmed with feathers of the same color as the dress. Materials required: Seven yards Shantung thirty-four inches wide, one and one-quarter yard silk twenty two inches wide, thirty buttons. --- JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
