Preached by a Presbyterian
Lauds the Negro Rac
and Dige
Charlestown, Ind.—In a sermon preached by request before the Negroes of this place by the Rev. T. M. Hurst, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Charlestown, he took for his topic. "The American Negro," and for his text: "The recompence of a man's hand shall be rendered unto him."—Prov. 12:14.
Rev. Mr. Hurst said in part: "Looking into history the Negro finds plenty of men of his own race of whom he may be proud. Such men as Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Haytian Negro general and liberator; and Alexander Dumas, the French novelist, and Booker T. Washington, the American educator, and Fred Douglass, the American orator, and many others.
"Take these as models for your race and reject the prize fighters and crap-shooters and rooster pullers of the race. Strive to be men and women. Strive to build up your home life on a basis of purity and love. Practice honesty among all men and cherish the truth as your own life. Do not seek to obliterate race distinctions, but strive to distinguish your own race by cherishing high ideals of home and citizenship.
"Educate your sons to be men of high purpose, whose regard for honesty is more than a right arm, and teach your daughters lessons of modest and virtue and self reliance. Keep your home and church life clean, and do not allow yourselves to be classed with the low grade cattle who have disgraced Adams county, Ohio, and almost every other county in the United States.
"It is no uncommon thing to hear men lament about the blunder that was made when the Negro was brought to America as a slave, but I am not so sure that slavery was a blunder. God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, and he laid the foundations of all civilization in human slavery gave the world the foundation of all civilization in human slavery and gave the world the foundations of all law through the agency of a man born in slavery. It required more than 400 years of slavery in Egypt to work out the plans of God in providing a civilization and a salvation that gruadually
opened to all men, and who knows for what purpose slavery was allowed in this land of the free and the home of the brave?
"Born in a home surrounded by slavery, I never drew one breath of sympathy with slavery in any form, but as I have thought of it through the years, I have come to see that Negro slavery in the United States might be made to serve more than one good purpose.
"Who knows but what, after all, the Negro may be the means of preserving the ideals on which our government rests? For nearly fifty years a tide of immigration from all races and nations has been flooding our shores with stronger sweep than the overthrow of Vandals and Goths and Visigoths that once swept over parts of Europe, bringing with them conflicting ideas, of moral and government that threaten the very foundation of our civilization.
"During all this time the Negro, as a color line has stood, saying to these invaders, thus far, no farther, and as a result the old slave states stand today the champion of the ideals from which our nation sprung. In the midst of conflict and prejudice the Negro, unconsciously and silently, has stood as a wall of fire round about the home of his slave days, making it impossible for thoughts of anarchy and disloyalty to the American idea to find soil in which it sought to grow.
"When God gave the promise Abraham little dreamed that the way to its fulfillment lay through four hundred years of slavery for his own people; and yet such was the case. The highway to the temple lay through the land of Goshen and the road was paved with bricks made by the hands of those who inherited in the promise land.
In the great division of the world Africa—the largest and most fertile portion—became the inheritance of the Negro, but for some reason unknown to us he has never improved or enjoyed it. Who knows but that God in his wisdom may use American slavery as a means of lifting up Ethiopia? It may require a thousand years, but when the design of God is worked out in history men may as easily see the part American slavery played in it all as we now see

the meaning of slavery under the Pharaohs. Many things to which we object prove to be parts of a great plan.
"When we study the history of the Negro race we find that, in spite of American slavery, the American Negro has reached the highest standard ever attained by the black race, and we easily discover that even now. His progress is moving with a rapidity that is a world wonder. Then, instead of blindly condemning what seems to us all a wrong, let us ask reverently for what purpose is this wonderful preparation of millions of the black race. It is possible that this is a part of the plan that shall lead to the civilizing and Christianizing of the largest division of the globe?
"The American Negro is in preparation for some great purpose, and we should all be encouraged by his progress. Since the time the shackles of slavery were struck off the Negroes of America have to their credit two United States senators, seventeen congressmen, two registrars of the United States treasury, besides scores of representatives in the diplomatic service and in official life, municipal, state and national, and they have won championships in many other fileds of honorable endeavor. The latest figures to which I have access show that 1,200,000 Negro children are in public schools and 30,000 in our higher institutions of learning, and 200 in Northern and European colleges and universities.
"Over 2,000 Negroes have been graduated from colleges and the professions show 30,000 school teachers and professors, 2,000 lawyers, 1,500 doctors, dentists and pharmacists, and nearly 25,000 ministers of the gospel.
"More than this, Negroes have taken out 500 patents, published over 400 books, composed numerous songs, and now own and edit twelve magazines and 300 newspapers.
"In other ways American Negroes have made remarkable progress. Besides many industrial establishments, the American Negroes own and manage twenty-six banks, and they own over $9000,-000,000 worth of real estate and personal property.
"Recently Atlanta Negroes were asked to raise $40,000 in ten days toward a Negro Y. M. C. A. building to close a conditional offer of $25,000. When this ten day whirlwind campaign closed it was found that these Negroes had raised $67,000, or $27,000 more than was asked for. Pretty good for any race. So everywhere with every race. It is men who do things that the world honors.
"Don't fret, then, about race distinctions and differences. They are here because they ought to be, and we should not change them if
we could. Don't worry because the white man don't give you a chance. In this world unfortunately, every man is for himself and when a man takes advantage of you it is simply because of previous condition of servitude. The white man who tries just as hard to beat his own race. You will find men of your own race just as ready to do you wrong as men of any other. Set your aim high. Let your motto be honesty and integrity, practice industry and economy; cherish veneration for the men of your race who have attained unto great things; take their lives as models under God, deal charitably with all men and discourage the man who by his life brings a stain on the race, and hold up your beads and point with pride to what has been and is being accomplished by the American Negroes, and you will come in for your share in the inheritance under the text:
"The recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him."
Washington Prosecutes Ulrich.
The Educator's Assailant Again Pleads for Delay--Case Set November 6.
New York City, Oct. 17.—Harry A. Ulrich, the drunken thug who so brutally attacked Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, on a public street in this city last March, was "brought to book" in the Court of Special Sessions, Part V, today, Judges Zeller, Mayo and Ryan presiding. Dr. Washington was in court to prosecute Ulrich; present also were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott; Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York; Fred R. Moore, editor and publisher of The New York Age; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department, Washington, D.C.; George W. Harris, of the Amsterdam News, and other of Dr. Washington's friends.
The people of the State of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution; today, through his counsel, he again pleaded for delay, claiming that he had not been able to get his witnesses into court—this despite the fact that he had seven months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion claiming that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of his brutal and uncalled for assault. The judges decided they would
RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES
Spartanburg, S. C., Oct. 18.—Col. Victor Cheshire, of Gov. Blease's staff boasts in the current number of the Anderson Intelligencer, a weekly newspaper, of which he is editor, that he participated in the lynching of Willis Jackson, a Negro boy, at Honea Path last week. After helping to kill the Negro Col. Cheshire got an extra edition of his paper describing the event. Speaking of this journalistic feat, the editor says, in part: "The lynching took place at midnight, and two hours later the big press was grinding out papers telling of the happy event.
The Charlotte Afro-American Presbyterian says: "Negroes and dogs" are not allowed at Lakewood park during the Summer when white people go there. The season for white people to attend this pleasure ground of Charlotte is over. The management now extends the use of the gronnds and the attractions to Negroes. They are distributing hand-bills inviting the Negroes of the city to come, and bring their children and give them a ride on the merry-go-round. The Negroes by hundreds are taking advantage of this opportunity to spend their money and get a little after-season pleasure. This sort of thing may suit some folks.
Louisville, Ky., October 20.—A young woman, who gave her name as Miss A. S. Hall, a member of the Ohio delegation of suffragists who invaded Louisville today, was instrumental in saving an unidentified Negro from mob violence in front of the Seelbach Hotel tonight. The Negro had been chas- give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial Monday, November 6. Dr. Washington has notified the District Attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for Wisconsin and the West, made long since, so as to be in court and prosecute Ulrich.
The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to the reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife. Ulrich, however, was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real wife of Ulrich, who lives in New Jersey and was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when he was arraigned for trial.
ed two blocks by a howling mob of white men and boys and captured. Some said he had stolen an overcoat from an automobile standing in front of the hostelry. The demonstrations made were ugly and the Negro was being roughly handled when Miss Hall interceded. She planted herself in front of the black and ordered the crowd to stand back. It did. Police appearing at this juncture dispersed the angered men. The Negro's benefactor gave her name as Miss A. S. Hall to a patrolman and disappeared in the hotel. Investigation showed but one Miss Hall to have registered. She was Miss Laura Hall, from Cleveland. Efforts to get her to talk were unavailing.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 17.—For the first time in the history of this city a Negro is a member of the City Council. He is S. P. Harris and was elected on the Republican ticket by his friends and admirers residing in the Third Ward at the municipal election held last Thursday. Mr. Harris has been a resident of Nashville for Fourteen years. The new City Councilman was born and reared in Mississippi. After attending the public schools of his county he entered Rusk University at Holly Springs, Miss., graduating from the college department with honors in 1889. Mr. Harris next studied law at the University of Michigan, finishing his course in 1891. He was admitted to the bar at Ft. Smith, Ark., and followed his chosen profession for several years at Helena, Ark.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 17.—The raising of funds for a $200,000 colored training school in this city, to be a part of the American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers, is meeting with success on the part of the Negro citizens of Nashville. The first of $4,000 was made several months ago by Hon. J. C. Napier. Since that time the donations and subscriptions have reached the sum of $20,000. The establishment of the colored training school will fill a long felt need in the development of the Negro religiously and socially throughout the country, the aim being to train colored young men and women as specialist in moral, social and religious leadership among their people. At present the offices of the school are located in the Marshall Building, a large three-story brick structure, facing the Tennessee State Capital.

Chandler Rogers, who was attacked by three ruffians in New York City, the night of May 1, 1897, and thrown into the Hudson river, after his skull had been fractured, wandered about the world for fourteen years under the name of George Kelly, and was restored to himself in Seattle, Wash., as the result of a surgical operation that removed pressure upon his skull. His first act was to write to a relative and he then told his strange story.
Ed. Suddeth, a negro, was shot to death by a mob of citizens at Coweta, Okla., who had armed themselves following a battle between blacks and whites in which Suddeth killed J. D. Beavers, city attorney, and wounded Carmen Oliver and Steller Thompson, white men. Suddeth was wounded and strung up to a water tank, but was cut down before he died and locked in a vacant building.

Always Staunch
And True
The Denver Republican has al-
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
tion proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nity.
In no other way can the invest-
ment of 2% cents per day
—for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber—bring such
rich results in that Knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
of the reader.
It stands for Law and Order in
the State—for Peace, Prosperity
and Happiness in the Home.

early coming of Reid Paige Clark, re
cently designated by President Taft
to serve under the general direction
of the government of Liberia as col-
lector general of customs. Both the
government officials and the citizens
generally are deeply grateful to the
‘American government for keeping be-
fore them the program recommended
by the late commissioners of the
United States, looking to the rehabl-
litation of Liberla as an independent
government.
Liberia needs all the help she can
secure along the lines recommended
by the American commission, but
what it needs quite as much ts aid
from philanthropic sources to help to
establish a school system which shall
serve to put within the reach of every
child in Liberia at least primary and
secondary education. A resume of
educational conditions in Liberia may
be of interest.
Largely as a result of the pitiable
condition of the Liberian finances, edu-
cation within the republic {s in a de-
plorable state. Owing to the fact
that there has been for years a large
floating debt, it is extremely difficult
to ascertain with any degree of ac-
curacy what have been the real cash
receipts of the government in recent
years, A certain part of this debt
has been cancelled each year, but @
new debt often greater in amount has
been created to take the place of that
which has been cancelled. Liberian
public finances is under the bondage
of this debt. A business man with
good credit may and does find a profit
in keeping in debt when he is con-
stantly increasing his means of pay:
ment, But let his ventures become
unprofitable, so that the debt grows
faster than means of payment, and he
soon finds himself engulfed.
Finances in Pitiable Condition.
>The case is rarer where a govern-
ment can maintain a floating debt In-
definitely, because its use of its re-
sources 1s not as a rule profitable in
the sense, of profit making. In rare
cases does government expenditure re-
sult in an enhancement of government
receipts. In Liberla this floating debt
is not contracted, as in the case of
governments with _ well - ordered
finances, by means of the issue of
short-term obligations, but through
advances in goods by the local
merchants. It is needless to say that
these goods are charged to the gov-
ernment at exorbitant prices, and that
as the floating debt increases and the
prospect of payment becomes more
remote, the prices increase.
‘This may seem to be wandering a
long way from education, but the point
which seems essential at the outset 1s
a clear comprehension of the fact that
debt charges, direct or indirect, ab-
sorb a large proportion of the Liberian
revenues, Estimating these nominal
receipts of the last few years at $350,
000, it is quite safe to assume that
not more than $250,000 is in reality
available either in the form of cash
or credit for the general purposes of
the government.
With a population variously esti:
mated at 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, the
problem of administering a govern-
ment with no more than $250,000 a
year is no easy task, however primi-
tive the government may be. The
maintenance of a framework of gov-
ernment and the preservation of peace
and order make formidable demands
upon so meager a pittance. However
high among the functions of govern-
ment we may rate the care of public
education, it 1s clear that it is not so
imperious a demand upon the public
purse as these fundamental conditions
of any body politic. If, then, as in
the case of Liberia, the public purse
fs so shallow that these imperious
demands almost drain its contents, it
fs not to be wondered at that little
is done for public education.
Only $25,000 Appropriated Annually
for Elementary Shcools.
‘Theoretically, the Liberians recog-
nize the value of education and the
duty of the state to provide it, Prac-
tically, the state can offer so little
and that little of so poor a quality
that the people take only a half-
hearted interest’ in it. ‘The annual
appropriation bills carry $25,000 for
public elementary schools, and a sub-
sidy of $12,500 for Liberia college.
Of this $25,000 for public schools very
little is actually available, and very
Uttle is spent. As a consequence,
the few schools maintained are woe-
fully deficient. ‘Teachers are wholly
untrained. Of knowledge they have
very little; of anything but the most
haphazard and casual methods of im-
parting it, nothing at all,
Liberia college, like the denomina-
tional colleges of Liberia, is primarily
an elementary school, with a so-called
college attachment. In its upper
reaches it covers the ground of a
high school in a very imperfect and
ately tea RE RE Sen
them, In the College of West Africa,
maintained by the Methodisis in Mon-
rovia, under Bishop I. B, Scott, the
main work 18 that of the elementary
school. Last year there were only
three college students, The equipment
is primitive, but the teachers are
capable, They are all of them from
the United States and appear to have
had the experience and training which
fit them for their work. It seems that
similar conditions prevail in the Epis
copal institutions.
Groundwork of Education Is the Com-
mon School.
I have dwelt upon the pitiful aspect
of primary education in Liberia be-
cause I believe that whatever forms
education may assume, its groundwork
18 the common school, and that no
professional, technical or industrial
education can prosper except upon
such a foundation, Moreover, I have
avoided the common criticism of Li-
berian education, that time and money
is wasted in Liberia college upon
Latin and Greek to the neglect of
other things far more important to
citlzens of Africa, This I do because
Liberia college is not a college at
all, but merely a large graded school.
The time of its professors and the
money expended upon it is concerned
almost exclusively in the teaching of
the common English branches.
‘The foregoing has, I presume, made
it clear that any institution which
may be created in Liberla for any
grade of higher education must, in
the present deplorable condition of the
elementary schools, maintain its own
feeders. It must take the children
at the earliest stages and give them
such preliminary training as wouid fit
them for any special instruction that
may be contemplated. In time, the
burden upon the institution of supply-
ing elementary education might be
removed if one feature of the institu:
tion itself were a normal department.
A normal department furnishing
trained teachers to the common
‘schools might so enhance the value
jot. the. education given in those
schools that any institution of higher
rank would thereafter not be obliged
to rely altogether upon its own pre-
‘paratory school, and might eventually
abandon such a school and devote
itself to the special ends for which
it was created.
Country Overrun by Clergymen.
So far as there has been any out-
look towards the higher education,
there has been a distinct leaning to-
hwards the learned professions of the
par and the ministry and thus indi-
rectly for the public service. In Li-
peria the profession of the ministry,
so far from being a bar to public serv-
ice, seems to be a direct preparation
for it. At a recent church service, a
portion of the Scriptures was read by
the sheriff of the county, prayer was
offered by the postmaster general, the
serinon was preached by an associate
justice of the supreme court, and the
benediction was pronounced by a mem-
ber of the senate, The country is in
fact overrun by clergymen, of whom
but a small portion devote themselves
to thelr profession.
‘The great and crying need of the
country is in technical education and
in preparation for a more progressive
agricultural and industrial occupation.
‘There {s, moreover, among the older
generation a growing feeling that they
have too long neglected the industrial
opportunities of the country, and their
speakers dwell with insistence upon
the need of better farming and the
need of productive occupation, It is
enccuraging that one of the fostmost
exponents of this doctrine, D. ©. How-
ard, now secretary of the treasury, is
the’ president-elect, so that we can
count upon the influence of the future
administration being directed as far
as it can towards promoting the eco-
nomic and industrial development of
the country. The establishment at this
time of an institution in Liberia,
based on the lines of the Tuskegee in-
stitute, located in Alabama, U. S. A..
would be one of the greatest blessings
that could be conferred upon this
country. Such an institution should
have two quite distinct aims or de-
partments. ‘The first should be a normal
department, for the need of which
the foregoing statements offer conclu-
sive demonstration, ‘This normal de-
partment is a necessary adjunct to
the main purpose of such an estab-
lishment, in order that in time the
general system of public education
‘may be Improved and the institution
relieved of the necessity of giving ele-
‘mentary instruction and therefore put-
ting it in a position to do a larger
work along industrial lines.
About Industrial Education.
With regard to Industrial education,
ti a country like Liberia, which is al-
most wholly agricultural, it is a mat-
ter of course that any industrial
education should be based largely
upon agriculture. It should, however, |
im those handicratts for which then
is the greatest need in that country.
‘These are, primarily everything con-
nected with the construction of dwell-
ings, both as to carpentry and as to
masonry, In the towns @ large part
of the buildings are constructed of
brick, stone or cement, and this form
of construction is that which is best
adapted to the tropics. The brick
used is mostly imported, though at the
present time a great deal is derived
from older buildings which have fallen
into decay and which have broken up.
Brick making would also be a profit:
able industry.
Special attention should be given to
all kinds of cement work for the pur-
poses of construction of houses, cls-
terns and all kinds of drainage. Sant-
tary arrangements do not exist in the
country and in the city are woefully
primitive. A proper application of
cement construction to these necess!:
tles would not only contribute to the
health of the community, but would
be valuable in establishing higher
standards of decency and living.
Room in Liberia for Trained
Mechanics.
‘The center of the Americo-Liberian
number of trained mechanics. The
application of the gasoline motor to
navigation of the St. Paul's river and
in machine shops is increasing, and
for the present it would seem that ele-
mentary knowledge of the principles
and applications of mechanics and the
care of machinery might well be made
a subject of instruction.
| There has so far been little con-
scious effort to utilize native products
‘to the best advantages. The teachers
‘of an agricultural school could tender
‘an enormous service to the country by
‘the study of its natural resources, by
‘the cultivation by way of experiment
and demonstration of the crops of the
country, such as the coffee plant and
possi the sugar cane, and by intro-
ducing improved methods for the col-
lection, presérvation and shipment of
such natural products as palm oil and
kernels, plassava fiber and rubber. If
sich an Institution were designed for
both sexes, the industrial training of
the girls would naturally follow the
sate lines as have been developed by
the educational experts of the United
States.
‘The center of the America-Liberian
population is Monrovia, and such a
school as 1s needed should be located
in or near this place. There is plenty
of good agricultural land easily ac-
ceasibie to Monrovia, while the prox-
fmity to the town would in the first
instance be an important factor in
reducing the cost of the necessary
supplies which, until the school 1s
well established, must be largely pur-
chased.
New Era Dawning for Republic.
No gift of the American people to
the republic of Liberla could be more
valuable for development of the
country than such an institution, As
‘amiexample of a wholly disinterested
concern in the welfare of the republic,
the gift would be most highly ap-
preciated. The people of Liberia be-
Heve that a new era is dawning. They
have placed themselves under the
guidance of the United States of
‘America, and they are looking forward
to the advent of their advisers as the
beginning of changed conditions. While
these changes encounter the natural
inertia which opposes any new move-
ment, the present and future adminis-
trations of the country are in hearty
accord with these changes. No more
fitting time than the present could be
imagined in which to establish such
fa school, which would be regarded by
the Liberian people as conclusive evi-
‘dence that the interest the American
‘government has taken in their welfare
is as unselfish as those who have been
concerned in this policy believe.
Of course, the Europeans in Liberia
cannot understand that the United
States has no ulterior motive, and that
il is actuated solely by considerations
of sympathy and friendly feeling. Such
an educational inst{tution as has been
discussed would in a large measure
counteract this influence of the for-
eigners now located in the country.
EVADES TEXAS JIM CROW LAW
BY CHARTERING A PULLMAN
SLEEPER.
Denison, Tex.—When Dr. Booker.
Washington was inforined by the Mis:
souri, Kansas & Texas railway that
he must either ride in the compart
ment reserved for negroes or hire a
special car to transport him from Aus-
tin to Temple, Doctor Washington de-
murred. But the Texas Jim Crow law
is firmly enforced and the railroad of;
ficials could not afford to be accom
modating.
Doctor Washington later notified
the railroad passenger agent that he
wanted a sleeper anyhow and char
tered a special Pullman for the trip,
which took place September 30. The
distance from Austin to Temple is
about 200 miles.
LEAVES SMALL FORTUNE.
New York City.—Hannah Mills,
eighty years old, a_ colored widow
woman without family, who lived in
New York for more than fifty years,
died a few days ago, leaving the sav-
ings of a Hfetime which will go to her
next of kin, if any can be found.
Where Hannah Mills was born or her
maiden name, unfortunately, is not
known, but some years ago she spoke
to a friend about a sister who lived
up state having died. It is thought
that this sister may have left children
who would be Hannah Mills’ heirs.

SPORT.
SPORT is play; business is work. As a fundamental necessity in the
affairs of life, work comes befcre play. Play is the recreative aftermath of
work; a relaxation which brings rest and renewed vigor. But sport is system-
atized play, which, while affording the people general opportunity for recrea-
tion, is largely commercialized and given an absorbing feature of excitement.
But sport is not business, except for those commercially interested. In
any form it is finally, for the people in general, just a foil for work; a relaxa-
tion from strenuous and necessary endeavor.
‘The white American is a great patron of and believer in sport, but it is
but an incidental item compared with the volume of his business. He
indulges his taste for sport only after his well established business warrants
relaxation and rest.
In general desire and character of indulgence, the colored American is
just as big a sport as his better fortified white brother. He don’t have to be
grounded and engrossed in business to such an extent that recreative pleas:
ure is a necessity. He ioves sport for the play and for the sake of the
abandonment of work. He neglects labor and its ardent and necessary
advancement for the sake of sport. Our quota of sportsmen is entirely too
large when compared with our quota of business men.
‘There is no branch of ordinary sport in which the colored man is not
fully developed, but there are many branches of business to which he has not
turned a mastering hand. In racing, boxing base ball, foot ball and all the
alluring games of chance and dexterity, we can measure arms with the white
man, when he will let us do so, and when he will not let us do so, we are
nevertheless ardent supporters of the white man’s sports and games.
‘Phere seems to be an unrestrained measure of sporting blood in the
veins of many of our best leaders and admirers. The easy course we are
adopting needs positive restraint and strong reversal. We have too large
interest in sport and too small interest in legitimate business fundamentals,
out of which the love of sport should grow.
THE SLEEP OF NATIONS.
NATIONS have their changing attributes of life, with all their relative
phenomena, the same as men, They are born, they have their day of activ-
ity, their night of sleep and finally their death. Their lives are of different
durations. Some do not live out their day, while others see their sun set,
retire to a long sleep and then awake to another day. Not many thus sur-
yive the night, but lethargy means death to all but those of most wonderful
virility. Some nations prolong their day by strenuous regulation of their
tasks of life and the imtuitive administration of recuperative potions, such
‘as the crossing of widely separated branches and the injection of new and
virile blood, but night, with its sleep or death, is only delayed and is inevit-
able, Nations that sleep and awake are the wonder nations of the earth.
The world was made for them, and time awaits the development of their
miraculous powers.
In the present stage of the world’s enlightenment, the European and
American nations, all related members of the Aryan race, in different stages
of development, seem to be enjoying the brightest days of national life ever
known to men; but strange signs are developing in other quarters of the
earth. Nations that have long been asleep are manifesting life and wakeful-
ness. ‘The most wonderful and portentious revival of all seems about to take
place in China.
Here is a nation which, for centuries, has been regarded as the most
tardy and backward of all the civilized or near civilized nations of earth.
In fact the “heathén Chinee” 13 proverbial. With a vast territory and many |
millions of population, its glory was sunk in a vague and inscrutable past
whose greatness was reflected only in the relics of ancient philosophies. The
modern nations of earth have long had designs upon its dismemberment, but
conflicting aspirations and violent and dangerous jealousies on their part
have made its partitioning impossible. Its own form of Imperial government,
with its antiquated customs and otherwise obsolete laws and edicts, was the
opiate which deadened this sleeping giant. At times there have been weak
and spasmodic but vain struggles against this self-strangling power. But in
late years, forced contact with modern nations has wafted in dreams of
enlightenment, and the process of awakening has been going on. Now comes
the news of a great revolution, capably planned and directed, adequately
financed and with millions of adherents, the prime objects of which are the
overthrow of the Imperial government and the establishment of a republic.
A great civil struggle is shaking the Empire, and whatever the outcome
shall be, it must result in the rapid modernization and rejuvenation of China.
It will bring suddenly into the politics of the world another new, mighty and
uncounted factor. While modern statesmen may have regarded its coming
as possible, it was confidently considered a matter of remote liability, And
now it is almost upon us. ‘The despised Chinaman, as we know him, will
soon have at his back a country and a national power, which, under modern
influences, can rapidly overtake and come astride of us, if it does not sur-
pass us. Its people have the inherent qualifications for such a development
and the manifested capacity for indefinite survival against every possible
shock. Under such an unexpected form of compulsion, the existing ethics of
nations will need to be radically revised. Tho respect compelled by the
prowess of Japan may well foreshadow an awe of China. :
‘And as this sleeping nations continues to rub its eyes to the fulness
of its second day, we may well begin to conjecture what the future holds
for Africa, another sleeping giant, against whose final and inevitable awak-
ening, all the sleep potions and other machinations of striving and arrogant
Christendom cannot avail.
Work
Alone
T MAY SEEM somewhat paradoxical to say that a girl may
4 take too much interest in her work, but it is nevertheless true.
Of course, there is the class of girl (and she might be
y a called almost typical she is so numerous) who is merely poised,
ERASE so to speak, on her position temporarily, waiting until she
Gag f) shall flutter away to a husband and a home, but there is also
8 Yee ff the girl who becomes so wrapped up in her work that only
a on the rarest occasion can she take a peep beyond the narrow
horizon that bounds it.
She works early and late until she is practically a nervous
wreck, and is imposed upon quite as a matter of course.
Of course, it is a truism that she who wishes to succeed must put her
whole heart into her work. This is self-evident.
But there is a sane and safe level between neglecting one’s work and
living for that and nothing else.
The good worker should also be the good player, and above all she
should learn to drop her work when she leaves the office or schoolroom
or workshop, and learn to take an interest in something outside her own
little base of operations.
People quickly get the habit of avoiding as if she were a pestilence
the girl who is constantly quoting the “boss” or bragging of the quantity
or quality of the work she does,
‘The amusing things that happen at the office are legitimate subjects
for conversation, and will be welcomed when recounted at home or at the
boarding house, but the purely busincess details contain as a rule not the
lenat elimmering of interest faethe outsider:
This kind of girl becomes rather a nuisance to
the “boss” himself in time, for she is always ready to
take offense at anything which she considers a slight.
Many girls undergo real suffering by having cer-
tain work they were in the habit of doing given to
some one else, when it should have been regarded as a
relief and a kindness done to them.
‘The girls who can think of nothing but clothes,
and who will suddenly break into any conversation
with some irrelevant femark as to tucks or gathers or
box plaiis, and demand that you shall give your opin-
ion regarding the same, is pretty bad, worse, perhaps,
than the girl who thinks too much of her work, but
the latter is nevertheless bad enough.
old-fashioned home, while today she presides over a modern flat of six
rooms. Her nature is conciliatory, while that of her neighbor in the
next flat is domineering. :
‘They are comparative strangers, but the spirit of the Itter soon dis-
covered the meekness of my friend’s wife. “My home is this little flat,”
she said to the writer, “is a full quarter-section of eternal hades, but what
can I do? We have moved three times already on account of unneigh-
borly neighbors, but the change has been for the worse instead of the
better. The whole trouble appears to lie in the fact that many people
forget that the cheapest form of displaying wisdom is to find fault.”

Farmers should have conspicuous notices on fences and trees, “N

Let us have the music and services of the birds, and let hunters wh
are hungry for that kind of meat raise Plymouth Rocks.

“I am going home,” was the remark
made to me by a friend and I immediately
responded by asking: “Where is your
home?” And the reply came: “In a flat
building.” But homes are few and flats
are many.
The old idea of a real home is fast dis-
appearing. Clearly, the change has come
to stay; it may be worse as time goes by,
but improvement is beyond hope.
What is the remedy? Simply to make
the best of the situation instead of the
worst.

"The Disappointed Bride," a drama, was staged at Shorter's chapel Thursday night by local talent under the management of Mrs. A. M. Ward. The participants acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. There was a large and appreciative audience present. There is a great deal of latent talent here which only needs cultivation.
The Silver Leaf Social club was perfectly entertained at the cosy residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Settles. Important business was first disposed of. Following this came the introduction of innocent games, mucu to the delight of the guests. As a fitting climax was the seating of the guests around a large loaded table, where their appetites were conciliated by an extravagant variety of palatable dishes. The club will be entertained by Mr. White this week.
The residents of Five Points enjoyed quite a treat last week through the kindness of Engine Co. No. 3 in permitting Battling Thomas and Black Prince to use their training quarters. Battling Thomas fought Roy Brown at the El Jebel Temple Wednesday evening. Black Prince, who trained with him, is a much-touted fighter, out of the famous Al Kauman's quarters, and judging from his leads, blocks, shifts, agility, etc., he knows something and is destined to rock many to sleep when he gets on.
For some time past there has been no little amount of trouble among the clergy of Denver and elsewhere, both of the black and white congregations, and the gossip that is going the rounds about some of our preachers is not fit for publication. We do not know the facts in any of the cases, but from the general comment there is "something dead up the branch," as Col. Wm. Greenleaf often puts it when he expresses himself regarding such matters. "Your sins will find you out."
A large and appreciative audience turned out at East Turner hall last Thursday evening, Oct. 19th, to the entertainment given for the benefit of the Lincoln-Douglass sanitarium. Circumstances considered, the young ladies who participated on the program played their parts well and deserve much credit. The hit of the evening was a solo sung by a young Mr. Dancy, recently from Texas. As a mark of appreciation for his good singing, he was not only encored several times, but coins of a sizable denomination were rained on the stage by members of the audience.
NOTICE.
There will be a meeting of the stockholders of The Mutual Laundry Company, held at the laundry office, 2540 Washington street, October 31, 1911, at 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of hearing a report of the directors on the progress of the laundry business and to discuss such other matters of interest as may be presented. The Directors of The Mutual Laundry Co.,
J. J. HOUSTON, President.

NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRES-
BYTERIAN CHURCH.
Sermon topics, Sunday, Oct. 29th:
11 a. m., "The Function of the
Church." 7 p. m., Y. P. C. E. "A
Missionary Journey Around the
World," Acts 16: 6-15. 7:30 p. m.,
"Yea, Yea; Nay, Nay," or "A Man's
Word His Bond."
Both sermons tomorrow will form a double-header. The 11 o'clock discourse will lay bare the attitude that the church through its pulpit should assume on all issues pertaining to the church and state. It will be a further and special appeal for the display of manhood by the men of the city. Every man who can conveniently hear it should attend, bringing with him his fellow man. The evening discourse is destined to tighten up the apparently lost screw of some people in wilfully lying when they give their word. The public is cordially invited to worship with us. Dr. J. C. Stone of Kentucky will address the C. P.
As will be observed elsewhere, under the auspices of the Sunday Alliance, the pastor will deliver the first of his series of lectures at the Congress of Races next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at the People's church. The Azalla Hackley club will furnish the music. The series are as follows:
"First Things First."
"Hard Facts Darker People Should Know."
"How the World's Congress May Help the Race."
"The Future Attitude of Afro-Americans to Congress."
One of the most enjoyable functions of the social calendar of last week was an elaborate dinner given Thursday evening by Mrs. Annie Batiste of 1572 Race street, in honor of Mme. Anna Patti Brown of Chicago, who, by the way, is one of the leading vocalists on the race. The parlors were tastefully decorated with abundance of flowers, as was also the table which groaned under a sumptuous menu which was highly relished by all present. As an entertainer of superb ability, Mrs. Batiste was warmly congratulated as such by her guests. To say the least, it was indeed an evening of bliss.
SCOTT M. E. CHURCH,
Twenty-sixth and Clarkson Streets.
The Sunday topics will be "Justification" and "The Proving of Abraham." The Sunday morning services were very interesting. One earnest man was reclaimed and added to the church.
The citizens of Denver owe a great man of the race like Dr. Mason a grand reception. We invite all enterprising, liberty loving and progressive people to make this appearance a worthy one. The good people of Denver have never failed to respond to accord our representative men the proper reception.
The Ladies' Aid society has purchased a $60.00 range to prepare that delicious Thanksgiving dinner upon. Get that sweet tooth ready for business, because there will be some delicious things to destroy that day. The ladies meet every Thursday. New members are joining and everything is moving off nicely.
Miss Lela Rice led the Epworth League last Sunday evening. Mrs. Mary L. Hicks will lead next Sunday evening. Mrs. Ada Castry, the live, awake president, invites the public to attend these meetings.
Dr. R. S. Lovingood, president of Samuel Houston college, Austin, Texas, will preach Sunday evening, November 12th. Dr. Lovinggood will be in the city on Nov. 10th, attending the missionary committee.
Mr. Ewing Hines joined the church last Sunday morning and was assigned to Mr. F. D. McPherson's class. The members of the choir are urged to be present Saturday evening to rehearse for Dr. Mason's lecture. A chorus of 20 voices will sing on this occasion.
Mrs. Ella Carter, who has been very ill, is about again. Mr. Lovet Clopton is able to be out again. Mrs. Jennette Bailey is on the sick list.
The Junior League met last Sunday afternoon. Refreshments will be served next Sunday afternoon. All children are invited to these meetings. Mrs. Anna Dawson is the efficient superintendent of the Junior League.
The ladies of the Church of the Redeemer will give a Hallowe'en party Tuesday evening, October 31st at Dania hall.

THE REMEDY FOR POVERTY
Intelligence, a Purpose in Life and a Responsibility Are Strong Factors.
A speaker at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Bible class, New York, is quoted as saying at a recent meeting of the class that "the remedy for poverty lies in education, postal savings banks and building and loan associations," in which remark there is a great deal of truth. There are three things that operate against poverty, and they are intelligence, a purpose in life and a responsibility; and these three things are furnished by the remedies suggested by the speaker.
In all these suggestions it will be noticed that the saving spirit is most manifest. There is no progress that does not involve some form of self-denial; some plan that makes a man feel stronger today than he was yesterday. That is what the postal bank and the building and loan association is supposed to do, and very often does do. A man or woman must have some ambition to get along; something that he does for himself and leaves a balance; some point ahead to gain. That is the remedy for poverty. It is no dependence, or charity or gifts, but the planning to patronize the postal or savings bank or the building and loan.—Ohio State Journal.
Caddies Rise in Revolt.
The golf caddie has risen in revolt at last, and the golfer's pet privilege is thereby seriously endangered. Hitherto the player has considered the links an excellent place for giving vent to his feelings. And, lastly, when one grew tired of anathematising clubs, play, the ball alike, there always remained the caddie! But now the caddies of Bray, Ireland, mean to put an end to this state of affairs. A strike was proclaimed, and an indignation meeting held around the first hole. Finally, amid many things, it was decided to complain of and protest against the strong language that was used to them and in their presence, and which they were forced to swallow and endure in silence and humiliation!
Weed Makes Food for Wonder.
Interesting operations have recently taken place on the Haining Loch in Scotland. For well nigh a century now this loch has been frequented by a microscopic floating water weed which in the summer time causes great discoloration of the water, turning it into a muddy brownish color. In winter the loch regains its natural color, the weed sinking to the bottom. The plant belongs to the great division of freshwater algae. Recently there was dissolved in the loch over half a ton of sulphate of copper, and according to all appearance, the weed has been killed. It is interesting to note that in no other loch in the British Isles is this plant to be found.
A Nautical Start.
"I wish we could have a sailor at the head of our educational scheme." "Why so?" "Because he could appreciate the use of a spanker boom."
Wriggling of Horse Hair in Water.
Any motion a horse hair may have when put into water is caused by its power to absorb water and to bend or twist as the water causes the hair to swell on one side more than on another. This will take place in the air. If you hang a long hair by one end and tie to the lower end a light rod of wood or a piece of straw perhaps six inches long, you will find that it will twist back and forth from day to day.

Baron von Steuben's Grave.
The plot about the grave of Baron von Steuben, near Remsen, New York, is covered with weeds and wild saplings, the monument is defaced and needs painting, and the little path that leads to the historic resting place of all that is mortal of the great Revolutionary leader bears a neglected appearance. Steps will be taken to care for the grave.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
Reading ought to be called one of the fine arts, as indeed it is. It furnishes the opportunity of taking in the thoughts of great authors and the ability to impart these thoughts to others. A prominent educator has given this brief definition: "Reading is getting through." But it is more than this, it is the bringing out the thought and feeling of the author in such a manner as to make the hearers see and feel with the reader. The reader who falls short of this end has not read.
When Ezra read the law to the people they wept because the reading was effective.
We too frequently listen to poor pulpit reading. For such reading there is no excuse. Every minister ought to study his Bible so thoroughly, especially the chapters he is going to read on any given occasion, that his hearers are made to feel that he is fully possessed of the thoughts contained in the passages he is reading.
While the Scriptures are being read God is talking to the people. A minister should therefore be prepared to read well, and not get up to blunder over the Scriptures. Word-calling is not reading. To read well one must be effective. He must make his hearers feel what he is reading. Our church services often fall at the beginning on account of ineffective reading by the pastor. The Bible is poorly read; the hymns are poorly read. If the hymns be well selected they are read in such a way that the people cannot see the connection between the hymns and the subject of the sermon. How readest thou, Brother Minister? Be careful as to your manner of reading, for much of your success as a preacher will depend on your good reading.—Southern Ploughman.
One of the greatest tragedies of human slavery was the breaking up of family ties, especially the selling of children away from their mothers. Was this tragedy ended in the United States when Abramam Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation? Frederick E. Bauer, superintendent of the children's bureau of the department of public charities, is authority for the statement that between 3,000 and 4,000 children are taken from their parents every year in New York city because the rising cost of living submerges the family, making it impossible for their parents to support them. They are cared for by charitable institutions, and a beautiful charity it is. But so far as the sentiment of parental and filial love is concerned, does it make so very much difference whether the family is broken at the auction block or at the empty breakfast table? Broken families mean broken hearts as much now as in the days "befoah de war."—Toledo News-Bee.
The Religious Forward movement, a brand new thing, with plenty of big money and sentiment behind it, has begun to move. The purpose is to carry the Gospel to those in the highways and by-ways of the large cities who are not now reached by religious influences. We were once, in 1903, surprised to see a Salvation Army band marching down a side street in Yokahoma, Japan, playing "Shall We Gather at the River?" While all sorts of movements are organized or being organized, to reach and help better the moral condition of every nationality in the republic, very little is done to reach and help better the morals of the negro. He is left alone, to work out his salvation in his own way. His churches must broaden out their work. The negro needs his own Christian Temperance unions, rescue missions and homes, settlement works, Young Men's and Young Women's Christian associations, Salvation Armies and the like—New York Age.
If it can be successfully snown that Meroe is the real birthplace of Egyptian civilization the negro's part in it is settled. All of the traditions relating to this ancient city connect the same with the indubitably negro Numidians. All the centuries of conquest and pillage have not succeeded in changing to any perceptible degree the race affiliation of its inhabitants. They have always been a hearty, warlike race of men and are so today. It is known and admitted that Egyptian civilization was introduced to Greece and became the nucleus around which modern civilization has grown. When the world grows older it is possible that negro scholars will establish this fact beyond doubt and thus place the negro race at the source of the stream of civilization from the ever flowing banks of which he is supposed to be slaking his thirst for the first time.
Some Afro-American pastors would lose their jobs as hod-carriers if they neglected it as they do paying their subscriptions to their race papers. If you discontinue it then they howl, and if you continue to mall it then they say I thought you would have discontinued it when the time had expired. If you write them you get an answer as quick as if your had written to the moon or the sun. Surely Afro-American editors find Jordan a hard road to travel—Caddiz (Ky). Informer.
The tenant farmers are planning to have a convention at an early date and to perfect an organization for mutual protection. One writer pictures the condition of the white tenant farmer as being rather hopeless and his prospects as discouraging. Statistics show that the number of these farmers is steadily on the increase, and their chances for ever owning any land are rapidly disappearing. Owing to a different and a lower standard of living the negro tenant farmer makes good both for himself and landlord where the white tenant finds it difficult to exist. This different standard of living is an important factor in our favor, and it is enabling the negro to "get by" in countless instances. The most striking illustration of this point came to our notice recently. Mr. F—is a worker in concrete and makes $2.50 a day. By his side a white man does the same sort of work and gets $2.50 a day. The colored man pays $6 per month house rent and the white man pays $15. The colored man's family does its own washing—and that of the white man's family also! Say what you please we still have a fighting chance if we will only make use of it. Our chief danger and temptation is in trying to lead an aeroplane existence on a subway salary—Dallas Express.
Up until a few years ago the negro was thought to be the chief among sinners in the use of English. His frequent disregard for grammar, and his quaint expressions make negro dialect one of the most picturesque in this country. But another dialect is being developed by the Dagos which, for downright outlandishness, puts that of the negro in the background. A Dago had ordered a windmill and had received it, but he had spent several days trying to find a certain valve. Finally he found it, but the handle was missing. And then he wrote the following letter to the freight agent:
"Messter Fratenanns, Dere Frend:
I gotta the valv which I by from S.
Nalrite but why for godsake doan
you sen me no handle. I Loose to me
my customer shure ting. You doan
trete me mite is my money not so
good as other fellows. I wate 10
daze and my Customer holler for
watter liga hel by the valve. the wind
he no blow the meel and the valve
gotta no handle an wat the hel I
goin do, you no send handle pretty
quick I goin soo you goodby your
frend, Antonio Dutramino.
"After i rite thees letter I fine
blame handle in box plese excuse
me."
In a recent editorial convention a minister was present and offered the following toast: "To save an editor from starvation take his paper and pay for it promptly; to save him from despair, send him every item you can get hold of; to save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper liberally; to save him from profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as soon as possible; to save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who never make mistakes." Equally pertinent is the toast on "Girls," written by a modern verse maker, and which is as follows:
"A health to the girl that can dance like a dream,
And the girl that can pound the piano;
A health to the girl that writes verse by the ream
Or toys with high C in soprano;
To the girl that can talk, and the girl that does not;
To the saint and the sweet little sinner—
But here's to the cleverest girl of the lot,
The girl that can cook a good dinner!"
The editor enjoyed his first automobile riding experience on the evening of the 30th ult., when as one of a party composed of Messrs. G. W. Lamastus, Mose Thomas and Messrs. Waldauer and Walker, prominent white gentlemen of Mertigold, and R. M. McCarty of this town, a quick run was made from Mound Bayou to McCarty's and return. The experience was a somewhat novel one for us as it will be, doubtless for any one who rides in one of these cars for the first time. They told us that we were not going fast but at times it seemed to us that we must have been "scoring" or else we are satisfied that we would not enjoy the scorching experience.—Mound Bayou Demonstrator.
Will Jack Johnson and Sam Langford come together in Madison Square garden at New York, after all, and settle the vexed question as to which of them is the greater master of Fistlcana? The sporty hope and talk are all that way. Johnson and Langford and Jeannette occupy more space in the daily newspapers and more of the public attention than all of the other 9,999,997 negroes in the United States. When they speak with their fists or tongues they have the world for audience. Fame is a fickle jade, in one age favoring brains, in another brawn—brute force.

Jake Seligman Suicides.
Salida.—Alone in the library of his newly completed $20,000 home at Salida, Jake Seligman, "Little Jake," one of the wealthiest men in Chaffee county, known throughout the United States for his business enterprise, his charity, his dinners, and his host of friends, shot and killed himself. No reason is advanced by Salida friends but despondency over his health.
Record for Water Strikes.
Meeker.—A phenomenal record was established by well drilling outfits in this section this year. Of the large number of wells sunk water was encountered in all of them, and none was over ninety-five feet deep. The average depth was sixty-five feet. The water was all singularly pure and cold, and free from alkali and mineral contaminations. No other section of the state has shown such a uniformity of results.
Court Makes Divorce Ruling.
Denver.—A decision handed down by County Judge Dixon affects scores of marriages in Denver, and is the first decision in the state determining inheritances of divorced couples and their children under certain conditions. By this decision persons marrying within a year from the time of obtaining a divorce will find they have no claim to the estate of their mate in the event of death. It was rendered in the case of James Selby Burns, who claimed a half of the estate of his wife, Elizabeth G. Burns.
Body of John O'Kelly Found.
Telluride.—After a two-year search the remains of John O'Kelly, a Telluride business man who disappeared with several thousand dollars in his possession, were discovered in the gulch at Pleasant Valley creek, a few miles from Ridgway. August 14, 1903, Mr. O'Kelly, in a fit of mental aberration, took the money and a revolver from his safe and disappeared. It was later stated that he was seen wandering along the track of the Rio Grande Southern toward Ridgway and had become violent at a ranch on Dallas divide.
TO INVESTIGATE COINAGE LAW.
Gov. Shafroth Appoints Colorado Representatives.
Denver.—Governor Shafroth expressed himself so much in favor of an investigation into recent national laws regarding money, and particularly one restricting the coinage of gold, that he took cognizance of a resolution passed by the Direct Legislation League and issued the following executive order:
"Whereas, I am in receipt of a resolution passed by the Direct Legislation League requesting me to appoint a commission to examine into the acts of Congress relating to the coinage of money and the issuance of currency of the United States, and,
"Whereas, I deem the subject they are to consider of the utmost importance to the people of the state of Colorado—
"Now therefore, I, John Shafroth, as governor of the state of Colorado, do hereby appoint the following named persons, to-wit:
"John Brisben Walker of Denver; Frank E. Moody, Monte Vista; Frank J. Cannon, Denver; Moses Hallett, Denver; Edward P. Costigan, Denver; John H. Gabriel, Denver; John C. Bell, Montrose, to serve as members of said commission.
"Given under my hand and executive seal this day, October 21, 1911."
On March 1, 1911, Congress passed a law authorizing the secretary of the treasury to accept foreign gold coin and issue therefor gold certificates. It also authorized the secretary to accept bullion and pay for it in gold certificates but provided that he should not accept bullion in excess of one-third of the gold certificates issued. The result of this action is practically to limit the coinage of gold and it is considered by many to be as revolutionary in its workings as was the suspension of the free coinage of silver. Political and economic organizations all over the country have protested against this law and several others passed by Congress, and it has been decided to hold a meeting in Denver and the delegates named in the executive order will represent Colorado at this conference.
Colorado Gets More Fish.
Washington.—Senator Guggenheim has secured the following shipments of young trout from government hatcheries to Colorado points, in addition to those previously reported: Ninety thousand black spotted trout for reservoirs 2, 4 and 5 at Colorado Springs; 59,000 trout for the Rio Grande Fishermen's Association at Del Norte, 27,000 for Gypsum creek at Gypsum, 30,000 for Harvard lake, 57,000 for Cotton wood lake, 18,000 for Chalk creek.
