THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY BISHOP GAINES DEATH The Distinguished Churchman died at his home in Atlanta, Georgia, January 12. Bishop Evans Tyree preached the Farewell Sermon. VOL. XVIII. BISHOP The Distinguished Churchma lanta, Georgia, January preached the F Atlanta, Ga, June 16.—On Friday, January 12th, Wesley John Gaines, one of the oldest bishops in the African Methodist Church, passed away at his home on Houston street, in this city. He had been ill only a short time, and his death was somewhat a surprise to his most intimate friends. Although well advanced in years he was in apparent good health. He was well-known in this city, having lived here many years as well as other places in the state. He was an aggressive churchman and never compromised with wrong. At the last General Conference of his church he was appointed to the first district which consists of the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. He had only recently returned from his work and was spending the winter at his home in Atlanta. Bishop Wesley J. Gaines was born in Wilkes County, Georgia, October 4, 1840. His parents, Wm. and Louisa Gaines, the former a Methodist and the latter a Baptist, raised him in slavery. He was converted at nine. His boyhood was spent on the plantation. At eleven he mastered the alphabet in a week, learned to write from a copy book, and to read while sick, studying the Bible. In 1855 he removed to Stewart Co. Ga., and in 1856 to Muskogee, County and dated his call to the ministry to this time, when he was wont to preach funeral sermons over dead birds and animals. He married in 1863 Miss Julia A. Camper, who made him a helpful wife. They had one child, Mary Louisa. He was ordained to preach in 1895, admitted to the South Carolina Conference in 1866, and ordained elder in 1867. He filled many positions of trust in his church. He was elected a bishop at Indianapolis in 1888. Bishop Gaines was a well informed, pious and eloquent preacher, of imposing presence, and of blended politeness and dignity. He possessed both administrative and creative capacity of a high order and adds to his energy, firmness and ability excellent tact and discretion. He did some remarkable work in getting money and building churches. In his ministerial labors it is estimated that he raised $400,000 for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Early in his pastorial career he wiped out a debt of $4,500 and completed Cotton Avenue Church, Macon, Ga., built St. James Church, Columbus Ga., at a cost of $10,000; erected Bethel Church, Auburn Avenue, at a cost of $25,000. He is an author, having written several well prepared and valuable productions, among them being "African Methodism in the South," "The Negro and the White Man." "The Gospel Ministry." He traveled extensively in this country and Europe, visiting many of the leading cities of England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, I taly aud France. The funeral of the deceased prelate brought to Atlanta many of the leading men of the African Methodist denomination. They came from all parts of the country to do honor to the distinguished citizen and churchman. Bishop Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., was chosen to preach the funeral. He chose for a text the 35th verse of the 5th chapter of John, which reads as follows: "He was a burning and a shining light; and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light." Bishop Tyree has been an intimate friend of Bishop Gaines for a number of years, and was well prepared to preach his funeral. The text chosen in itself sets forth the character of the deceased, and Bishop Tyree handled the subject in a masterful way, thereby inspiring all who heard him to new hopes and greater endeavor.—Nashville Globe BRIGHT PROSPECT Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 16.—Harry H. Pace, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Independent Order of Elks of the World, has given out the following statement: "The order has taken on an impetus for growth that means much to us. We have revived fifteen or twenty lodges which had been previously defunct or inactive, and before many weeks we will have instituted several new ones. We are mak- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27 1912. ing a nation-wide campaign to make this the biggest year in our history, and I feel that it will be. The decision of the Richmond case in our favor has meant much to us in increasing life and renewing enthusiasm." SCIENTISTS ON "NE- GRO PROBLEM (Washington Star, Dec. 31, 1911) The close of the session in this city of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the greatest gathering of scientists that has ever been held in this country, came last night. There were something over 2000 scientist in Washington for the meeting. Thirty scientific societies affiliated with the parent body held simultaneous meetings here, and the progress in every line of science was discussed. One of the papers before the anthropologists was by Prof. Albert Jenks of the University of Minnesota on the Negro problem in the United States. It was especially recommended by Prof. Jenks that a bureau or commission should be established and properly endowed, preferably with private funds, so as to remove the investigators from the ill effects of political influence, to study the entire Negro problem. "We must have facts," said Prof. Jenks. "For instance, while few Negroes claim that they are the equals of white Americans, while the majority of white Americans believe the Negro to be inferior to the white American, a respectable body of scientists claim that there is no evidence as yet to show that the Negro is not the peer of the white man. What are the facts? Opinion and prejudice we have in abundance. Now we should have the facts." The speaker commented on the fact that there are no United States laws forbidding the immigration of "African black people," and none against their demand for citizenship. During the past ten years 38,631 African black immigrant aliens came into the United States, about 20 per cent of them being illiterates. A small percentage of them came direct from Africa, and most of them went to various northern states. "I believe," said Prof. Jenks, "that these African blacks are undesirable immigrants. For the same reason, urged with greater force, that we exclude Chinese and Japanese, we should exclude the African black man." It is estimated that 200 legitimate families of Negro men and their white wives live in Minneapolis. This, as in the South, tends to the gradual elimination of the blacks and the increase of those who pass as white. ) Prof. Jenks said he agreed with Dr. Henry Van Dyke that the Negro problem was the most pressing one facing the United States today, and he offered the following suggestions in the way of remedy: Stop immigration; stop intermarriage; stop illegal misregenation; define "Negro" uniformly; stop murderous race riots; educate the child to be all he is capable of being; establish commission of experts, preferably by private enterprise, to study thoroughly the Negro situation. NOT ALWAYS A NEGRO The Los Angeles Daily Record of December 28th, published an extra, charging a Negro with having held up and robbed a pawn broker at 261 S. Main Street. This occurred about 7:45 a.m. The broker was beaten unmercifully by the bandit and a tray of diamonds valued at fifty thousand dollars was taken. In trying desperately to make his escape he ran down Main Street to Third, up Third to an alley, down the alley to Fourth Street passing the Van Ness Hotel where the already large pursuing crowd was increased by bell boys and guests of the hotel. Here the bandit in an attempt to elude the crowd ran in at the rear of the B. and O. restaurant upsetting a few pots and pans and coffee urns. He finally reached the front door and on to Hill stacet down Hill Street and through Central Park to Sixth and Olive Sts, and disappeared into a rooming house fastening the door as he went preventing his pursuers from following, thus he temporarily made his escays out of the rear way into the next street. Here he was soon hailed by a street car conductor who had a hand to hand tussel with the bandit and finally took nim to the police station. Here he gave the name of Juan Jose. He is a native of the East Indian Island and is therefere not a Negro and has not been associated with the Negro since he has been in Los Angeles. All foreigners that come to America are accepted among the white people as white until they commit some crime, then if they are of a dark complexion they are——. In the state prisons of California there are 3784 convicts, thirty of these are Negroes. In the Los Angeles county jail there are about 290 white prisoners and 4 Negroes. During the winter of 1911 from December to March, there are about 119 hold-ups and robberies in the city and rich districts of Los Angeles and of the number there was one Negro The Negro citizens of Los Angeles are very proud of their standing, and they start out with this new year to beautify their homes and better their condition in every way. - Planet. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The will of Benjamin Cutler Hardwick of Dorchester, filed in the Probate office Jan. 18, contained bequests of $2000 to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, in instalments of $200 annually; $1000 to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in instalments of $100 annually. The sins of white men seem to return upon them as a loathsome plague. White men are mistaken for Negroes in their society and are compelled to flee for their lives. This was clearly manifested last Saturday night when a Russian Jew, in company with a white woman, entered one of the fashionable cafes. On account of his dark complexion, he was thought to be a Negro. The whole city was aroused at once and had it not been for the swiftness of the victim's feet and legs which enabled him to leap high buildings and dodge his assailants and would-be lynchers, who, in hot pursuit, were crying for his blood.—Pine Bluff (Ark.) Herald. Columbus, S. C., Jan. 16.—The members of the South Carolina Legislature put Gov. Blease in a ridiculous light last Friday by poking fun at his message and turning down all but a small part of the executive's ambitious literary effort. The report on the message, presented to the house, recommended that all but first two paragraphs of Gov. Blease's message be expunged from the record on the ground that the style and language in which the document was couched was such that self-respect forbade that a dignified body should permit it to become a part of the record of its acts. Gov. Blease made an attack on the press and the Negro, upholding lynching and protesting against white women teaching colored children in South Carolina. Washington, January 12—Representative Kendall, of Iowa, was kept busy today by friends who commended him for his gallantry last night in knocking down a white hooilum who had attacked an aged colored woman. When Mr. Kendall alighted from a street car at a busy corner, he saw two white men addressing profane language to the woman, who was carrying a basket of freshly laundered clothes. Presently one of the men struck the woman, felling her. The contents of her basket were scattered in the snow and slush. Mr. Ken NO 20 dall landed his fist squarely on the jaw of the assailant and laid the fellow motionless in the snow, afterward assisting the unfortunate woman in restoring the clothes to the basket. During these days of aviation meets the Negro is being represented in the field of aeronautics by Lucian Headin of New York, who was recently awarded a gold medal by one of the aeronautical societies at Mineola, L. I. Aviator Headin is also an inventor, and has attracted attention by taking out a patent on an equalizer, which prevents airships from tilting when falling, thereby preventing many accidents. The equalizer consists of a ball weighing forty pounds which is attached to an electrical device, and if the airship is falling the aviator can press a button on the steering wheel which will put the large ball into play and cause the airship to descend without mishap. Mr. Headin was born in Raleigh, N. C., and is married. He is now touring the South with his machine, accompanied by his ex-instructor and manager. Last week he was to have given an exhibition at Norfolk, Va., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. (white) but was compelled to cancel the engagement on account of cold weather.—N. Y. Age. New Orleans, La, Jan. 16.—The Supreme Court of Louisiana, in a decision handed down Monday, held that a Fegro has avested right to a seat in a street car, despite the "Jim Crow" law in effect in New Orleans and other Louisiana cities, and that he cannot be moved from a seat in the white compartment of a car, provided there is no seat in Negro section. The appeal was that of John Anderson against the New Orleans Railways and Light Company. The court affirms the verdict of damages awarded Anderson and increases the amount from $50 to $250. The partitions on the street cars here are movable. The opinion holds that a conductor has a right to move the partitions, but continues: "Where a passenger has found a seat in the compartment assigned to his race the officer has no right by moving the partition to put him in the wrong compartment when there is no seat to be found in the compartment thus newly established for his race." A number of other cases based upon the "Jim Crow" law now are pending in the courts. Painting Which is at Head of East Senate Stairway,Portrays Black Seamen as Cowards. THEIR BRAVERY RECALLED REV. REVERDY C. RANSOM TELLS OF PATRIOTISM AND COURAGE OF BLACK SEAMEN IN DAYS GONE BY. Washington.—Since the mutilation of Powell's "The Battle of Lake Erie," which is regarded as one of the most valuable paintings at the head of the east senate stairway in Washington, many negroes have been heard to declare that the painting has always been an eyesore to intelligent negroes, and that it is looked upon by them as a slander on the negro in the United States navy. Among those sharing such an opinion is the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, who speaks of the painting as follows: "The Battle of Lake Erie," by W. H. Powell, which was mutilated by an act of vandalism in Washington last week, calls attention to a fact that has long been an offense to many lovers of truth. This painting, described as 'one of the largest and most valuable paintings,' is on the walls of the rotunda of the capitol at Columbus, O., as well as in the east senate stairway at Washington. It has, for a generation, been an eyesore to intelligent negroes. Whatever may be its merits as a work of art, it is a painted life which mistakes the facts of history. This painting represents the white man as standing up in the boat in a bold and fearless attitude while the negro seamen are portrayed as cowering in fear. "In the summer of 1813 Captain (afterwards Commodore) Perry wrote a letter to Commodore Chauncey, in which he complained that an indifferent lot of men had been sent him. Among other things, he said: 'The men that came by Mr. Champlin are a motley set of blacks, soldiers and boys. I cannot think you saw them before they were selected.' Commodore Chauncey replied in part as follows: 'I regret that you are not pleased with the men sent you by Messrs. Champlain and Forrest, for, to my knowledge, a part of them are not surpassed by any seamen we have in our fleet; and I have yet to learn that the color of the skin, on the cut and trimmings of the coat, can affect a man's qualification or usefulness. I have fifty blacks on board of this ship and many of them are among my best men.' Crime of Vandalism Not Excused. "Perry's former prejudice did not prevent him from speaking highly of the bravery and good conduct of the negroes who formed a considerable part of his crew. 'They seemed to be absolutely insensible to danger,' he said. "Ntthan Shaler, commander of the private-armed schooner 'Gov. Tomkins,' wrote to his agent in New York a letter dated: "At Sea, January 1, 1813. "Before I could get our light sails in, and almost before I could turn round, was under the guns, not of a transport, but of a large frigate! . . . Her first broadside killed two men and wounded sx others. The name of one of my poor fellows who was killed ought to be registered in a book of fame and remembered with reverence as long as bravery is considered a virtue. He was a black man by the name of John Johnson. A 24-pound shot struck him in the hip and took away all the lower part of his body. In this state the poor brave fellow lay on deck and several times exclaimed to his shipmates: "Fire away, boys; no haul a color down." The other was also a black man by the name of John Davis, and was struck in much the same way. He fell near me, and several times requested to be thrown overboard, saying he was only in the way of the others." "Nothing we have said must be construed as excusing or pallating the crime of vandalism. I sincerely hope that the vandal in question will be apprehended and suitably punished. But the fact remains that Powell's 'Battle of Lake Erie' with its terror-stricken negro tars, is an offense to intelligent negroes, and a slander upon the negro in the United States navy." AFRICANS IN PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, Pa.—Dressed in bright colored shawls and wearing high turbans on their heads, two colored women, genuine Africans, are attracting much attention in the vicinity of Tenth and Lombard streets. Their names are Akwadre Otto, wife of Mensh Otto, of 911 Lombard street, and her sister, Leovadre Cebillah. Aside from their peculiar dress, the faces of both women are badly scarred, which were placed there by their parents, and are called "family marks." The women are from Dahomey, on the west coast of Africa, and arrived in the city on the steamship Merion. The husband is the only one who can speak English, the others merely make a peculiar sound when they converse with each other. NEGRO STATE FAIR COST ABOUT $11,000 ACCORDING TO REPORT OF PRESIDENT R. R. WRIGHT OF THE GEORGIA COLORED FAIR ASSOCIATION. Macon, Ga.—President Wright has just figured out the expense in holding the Colored State Fair at Macon Nov. 8-18. It amounts to $10,980.27. Of this $2,891.06 was given for premiums for agricultural and industrial exhibits. The agricultural exhibits came from about twenty counties and the industrial exhibits from about forty counties. There were exhibits of one kind or another from eighty-three counties. The area from which exhibits came has increased from year to year The colored people both in agricultural and industrial lines are gradually being awakened to the importance of improving their agricultural and industrial output. In order to interest them the fair association spent for labor $3,448.14 in the employment of about ninety persons throughout the state and at the fair. The employees spent two or three months traveling by railway or private conveyance in order that they might arouse and instruct the people along the lines which the fair association is striving to emphasize. In addition to this the fair put out in advertising paper $715.46, and in newspaper advertising $501.21 The expense for free attractions, decorations, water, taxes and rent, etc., was $2,424.40. The association has up to date been able to meet all of its expenses and pay all of its debts. It has not sought to be a money making affair, but merely an educational enterprise. It brought to the fair association this year some of the ablest colored men and white men in the country such as Dr. John E. White, Judge George Hillyer of Atlanta, Dr. James H. Dillard of New Orleans, Dr. J. D. Hammond of Augusta, United States Register of the Treasurer J. C. Napier and former Register W. T. Vernon. All of these men and others made addresses. In addition to this, there was brought a large and interesting government exhibit representing the most interesting exhibit shown at fairs and expositions by the government. This was the first time in the history of colored fairs that such an exhibit has been sent by the general government and the securing of the exhibit was regarded as a tribute to the reputation of the fair association. Among the interesting features of the fair was the fact that the Central railroad, through Vice President Winburn and J. F. Jackson, agricultural agent, offered premiums for the best corn exhibits by colored boys in the counties along the Central lines. There were two premiums this year. The $100 premium was won by J. L. Reddick of Bibb county, who raised 112 bushels to the acre, and the boys' prize, a $80 scholarship in the Georgia State Industrial College, was won by Lawrence James of Houston county. Since then clubs have been organized in Putnam, Lee, Polk, Laurens, Taylor, Washington, Upson, Meriwether, Jefferson, Early, Bulloch, Morgan, Bibb, Effingham, Wilkinson, Henry, Screven, Chatham, Randolph, Richmond, Sumter, Emanuel, Dougherty, Terrell and Burke counties. These will take part in the exhibits at the colored state fair next year. Perhaps among the most interesting agricultural exhibits were those made by M. L. Yopp and E. D. Ashley, who won the premiums offered by the Macon, Dublin and Savannah railway through J. T. Wright, vice president and general manager. The first prize of $75 was won by Moses L. Yopp of Dublin and the second was won by E. D. Ashley of Bullards. Yopp's exhibit from Laurens was unique. His cotton attracted the attention of everyone who visited the fair. President Wright and his associates in the Colored State Fair are greatly gratified with the aid that has been given them by the Central and Macon, Dublin and Savannah railways. He claims to have been inspired in this by J. F. Jackson, agricultural agent of the Central railroad, who is taking great interest in the corn clubs in the state. The next fair will likely be held in Macon about the same time next November. HOWARD IS PRESIDENT OF LIBERIAN REPUBLIC HE SUCCEEDS ANOTHER NEGRO NAMED BARCLAY IN OFFICE. Monrovia, Liberia.—Daniel Howard was inaugurated as president of the republic of Liberia, succeeding another negro named Barclay, who for eight years had occupied the office. A procession headed by the members of the legislature, led by the speaker of the senate and the house of representatives, escorted Howard to the chamber of representatives. Here the new president, after taking the oath, read his inaugural address, in which he set forth his ideas on reform and advanced several schemes for the development of the country. He made special reference to the present political situation of Liberia and its relations to the great powers and said that the uncertainty of the past had given way to the positive assurance that Liberia's integrity would remain intact. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A race without a history is not unlike "the Man Without a Country," whose desolate life Dr. Edward Everett Hale has so graphically pictured in his book of that title. So, a race with no written history—no background, no great characters, no great achievements in war and peace, for hope and inspiration of itself and of its children—is poor indeed. Even savage races, before and since "we have the letters Cadmus gave," one of the most priceless possessions mankind possesses, have invented all sorts of devices to perpetuate the memory of their own existence, and what they said and what they did. From this same sentiment has grown that high and noble characteristic of mankind only among living creatures of reverential care and treatment of the old and infirm of the family, of the tribe, of the nation, and which has given us the soulful maxim, "old men for counsel; young men for war." Standing in the dark shadows after Joab, the Captain of the Host, had finally murdered Abner, King David said: "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" It is natural for great men to appreciate great men. So we as a race sorrowed over the death of Daniel Alexander Payne and of Frederick Douglass; so we as a nation sorrowed over the death of Lincoln, of Sumner and of Grant. In speaking of the great success of the fifth annual Georgia State Fair at Macon, last November, in a personal letter to our Mr. Fortune, President R. R. Wright said, among other things, of the collection of photographs of distinguished negroes, made a feature of the exhibits. "I want to get you to come to our fair next year and speak upon the distinguished men the negro race has produced. We had a great many responses and a great many pictures. It was the first time in the history of negro fairs that three denominations of currency, signed by the four negro registers—Bruce, Lyons, Vernon and Napler—have been exhibited. I feel that this is a step in the direction of calling the world to the prominent men of the race." It is a step in the right direction; there should be more steps taken like it. For instance, we have no history of the reconstruction period from the negro viewpoint, other than that given by George W. Williams in his "History of the Negro Race in America." Senator B. K. Bruce loomed large in that period, which the story of his life would cover. His distinguished son, Prof. R. C. Bruce, may tell it for us some day—New York Age. It is interesting to note that the white waiters are busying themselves with a petition to the American Federation of Labor asking for recognition as a labor organization. The opinion of the head waiter at Hotel Schenley is worth consideration. He says that the waiters want a wage of $10 per week and a ten per cent commission on all his sales. This, he adds, would relieve the patron of his moral obligation to tip, and at the same time act as a stimulus to the waiter to serve as many patrons as possible and serve them as well as possible. We suggest that negro waiters get awake to this idea, and find some way to organize and join the American Federation, which will welcome them as members and afford them an impartial protection. Gifted as they are with the innate sense of what constitutes service, the negro waiter should easily hold his own in the field of competition. It requires but little effort to secure the needed protection at the hands of the Federation; so let the colored man take the tide while it serves.—Pittsburg Courier. When some young and thoughtful man comes forward with honest criticism with respect to the business methods in use in many of our churches, instead of crying him down and discouraging all effort in throwing the light upon present methods, those responsible for present methods should be foremost in welcoming the criticism, and in turning on all the light possible, that the sanity and efficiency of their methods may be made thoroughly manifest. When it is contended that the quality of moral and spiritual leadership in those who dominate affairs in our churches and societies is not what it should be no man should be more interested in a full and thorough investigation of affairs than the men serving in such capacities of leadership—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world, is back in his native land once more, returning recently from Europe, where he appeared with great success in the leading variety houses. The champion is in excellent health and one of the first things he did upon reaching New York was to deny the rumor that he had retired from the ring. Johnson says he has no idea of retiring and is willing to meet all comers, his only stipulation being that he dictate terms as to what end of the purse he is to receive. The champion is in Chicago, where he is spending the holidays with his niece. The merciless money sharks are devouring their prey in a most greedy way and are putting their victims under a lifetime burden. Our people, mostly those who are ignorant, are falling in the hands of these usury dealers and they are being robbed in an unlimited manner. Several days ago a negro went to the office of one of these sharks to pay up. He entered the cash on his book and asserted to the negro that he did not give receipts for money and made him understand that hereafter do not ask for any more receipts. They are loaning their money at 100 per cent. We know of a case where a negro borrowed $15 and paid $15 interest. These traps are set for people of our race and they are getting the money out of them. We advise the people of our race who are obliged to borrow, borrow from a bank and let the shark alone. They take the advantage of your ignorance and rob you; and as long as you deal with them your nose will be "on the grinding stone," a hewer of wood and a drawer of water.—Palestine Plaindealer. Gordon Isham, an East Tennessee negro farmer, raised 187 hogs this year which averaged 380 pounds in weight and were the best marketed so far this year at Morristown. Isham realized $4,618.90 from his hogs at the wholesale price of 6½ cents a pound. It is safe to bet that negro has no trouble with his white neighbors. It is also safe to bet that he enjoys the respect of every one of them. A man who raises corn enough to fatten that many hogs hasn't any time to get into trouble. And now that his hogs are marketed he is doubtless busy fixing up his fences, repairing his sheds, caring for his cattle, fertilizing his land and preparing for next year's crops. He has learned the secret of thrift and happiness. Work has solved the life problem with him, and it lies within the reach of thousands of other negroes to make similar successes if they will but resist the lure of idleness and shiftlessness and devote themselves to a fixed task with a white man's constancy.—Nashville Tennessee. Fisk University is receiving subscriptions toward a $300,000.00 endowment fund for improvements. No college or institute in America is worthier of support than this school. Long ago it has proved its value to the colored race. The record of Fisk is known throughout the world. It deserves every dollar that will be sent and more. There are hundreds of graduates in various professions all over this country that have been benefited by Fisk and this would be a splendid time to pay a debt of graduates by sending a mite toward meeting the $300,000. Men of our race, wishing to do something tangible for education and uplift of the race; the training of young men and women for the higher walks of life, could do nothing better than to contribute to this deserving college. Fisk College believes in the broad education of men and women and puts a premium on the highest development of a student. Again we say, Fisk is worthy of a donation, no matter how small or large. Illinois Chronicle. A great many people do not have anything to eat today because they ate it all up yesterday. We once owned a beautiful chrome-colored dog that had more sense than his master. That dog was never hungry. The rise in the price of meats never worried him. How did he manage it? Simply enough. He never squandered or threw one away. When he was fed he would eat his fill and then gather up the fragments, dig a small hole in the yard some place and bury them. He knew every place in the yard where his food was buried. When he was hungry and there was nothing doing at the kitchen, he would dig up some of his food and eat it. He would never disturb his reserved food as long as his portion went to him from the kitchen when he wanted it. Prof. Franklin H. Glding, of Columbia university, said in a recent address, that "one of the possibilities of human betterment is that all the people in the world should have enough to eat." Very true; but it will never be until people learn to save the fragments.—New York Age. No man can be a good leader who is not a good follower. No man who is self-centered, narrow and jealous can ever make a successful leader. There are few men capable of real leadership and it is quite amazing that such a few who aspire to leadership are not cognizant of that fact. "Leaders are born not made." The people choose their leaders and they know the man who is capable of leadership without his labeling himself as such. True leadership is recognized without much stir on the part of him possessed with that great quality and will burst forth despite all of the attempts to crush it out. True leadership cannot be imprisoned.-Charleston (W. Va.) Mountain Leader.

With unconquered prejudice and subtle malignity the wealth and brains of the late slaveholding class, their sympathizers and henchmen, have combined and are persistently exerting their all-powerful influence, in and out of Congress, through every avenue of the States' Government, through every remification of life, to retard the Negro's progress and perpetuate his poverty and degradation. Every scheme, device, fraud, violence and cool, calculating murder are being perpetrated to destroy the legitimate fruits of freedom; to deny, resist, nullify and cheat him of his constitutionally guaranteed rights and privileges as an American citizen. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that we lay aside our internal dissentions and minor differences and present a solid front.

A problem with which we have to freedom and individual sovereignty; to its first principles which were on every man to "life, liberty and People disagree seriously regarding the comparative importance of matters and things engaging the minds of men in the forward march of civilization; those things considered pre-eminent and vital by some, being almost entirely ignored or given but passing notice by others, who themselves are absorbed with problems of far greater importance to them. It is from an individual or a clannish standpoint that most men consider the affairs of life, without caring to go deep into the fundamentals upon which continued success and happiness must be founded. Matters of selfish importance are often pushed into greater prominence than other matters, of wider application and greater virtue, are permitted to attain, because the power concentrated behind them is greedy for its own enlargement and unmindful of evil influences or the inexorable laws of natural adjustment. The success of the individual is often declared to be the best indication of the possibilities of the many, and the prosperity of many is likewise made to appear as an exemplification of the well-being of all. So in this free government of vast and complicated interests, it is easy for statesmen to see the country's good in the advancement of one or more of those interests even while others of greater fundamental importance, are neglected. Industrialism and commercialism are the all-absorbing twin motives of governing directorates throughout the world in this age, and moral and social advancement wait upon the recognition and glorification of their younger sisters. Social and moral questions are no longer popular in politics. Those which formerly made political parties powerful or ignominious are now mere platform reminiscences. Labor questions, assuming to fill the gap, are made to create but a false division of sentiment and cut but a sorry figure in all great political contests. Commercialism is powerful enough to divide the labor vote, and lesser social forces dwindle to numbers too small for division. The pleas of the moralist and the sentimentalist are as vain as are appeals to a wooden Joss. The greatest problem with which we have to contend, as a people professing freedom and individual sovereignty, is how to bring the country back to its first principles which were declared to be based upon the right of every man to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Such is the origin of the modern name given in a bulletin of the geological survey. E ALL know that the nations of the world are beginning to enter into a change of all things, political, economic and social. The nations must expand and find new territory for their surplus populations because the countries cannot produce enough foodstuffs for their support. The ground which for years has produced a hundredfold is exhausted. The nations seek virgin soil and in doing so will come to blows. Africa will be the theater of future conflicts. Civilization, which is progress in all things, is like a mighty wave that rolls onward all obstacles. It sweeps before it all that was, mankind, animals and plants, and puts in their stead whatever is needed for its support. We know how progress drove the red man, the beasts of the forest, the trees thereof before its tireless march until they became extinct. The same thing will occur as the plains of Siberia, of South America shall be settled and cultivated. The original inhabitants will disappear. The tents of the Lapps and Patagonians will make room for cities, their feeding and hunting grounds become farms. With them will vanish those wild animals and plants which are now their support. This must occur in Africa as well. The original inhabitants will be driven farther and farther until with the help of various diseases, which accompany progress, the black race will be no more. The white race will dwell in cities where formerly the Matabele had his hut. Farms will flourish where stood the primeval forest with its animal life. It may take hundreds of years before this shall be accomplished. Then a mighty hand will call a a halt and progress is at its end. Civilization will have killed itself. As the physician gives stimulants to his dying patient to prolong life, so will silence come to the help of the exhausted ground, until it becomes utterly unproductive. Progress is dead. Migration of nations, wars, as of old, will be the rule, the stronger surviving. A new race will inhabit a new earth, which will resemble the old one only in its outlines. the explorer of wilds is due to the fact that men in such enterprises are brothers and companions of alarms. The more settled and wealthier portions of civilization are full of email, dried up, spidery souls who have retired on a settled income. They are fatal to life of any kind and particudarly to young life; hence most of the youth emigrate. They go west. The west is greater than the east because the east is settled and the west is unsettled. In the east are old religions, old customs, old families, old laws and old institutions—all full of rats and fever. In the west is fresh air. One reason a king cannot be a great soul is because he cannot lose his job. Another reason is that "the king can do no wrong." Take away a man's right to sin and you assassinate his moral character.

Just such a nature I would seek in the man I marry. A man who has struggled through vicissitudes, having lost no whit of his smiling nature, who is strong enough to brave any storm of misfortune, keeping ever the beauty of his nature beyond destruction, who has attained a measure of success and who can live in it with no sacrifice of the virility of his manhood.

People are inclined to complain a good deal over the precariousness of life. We hate to live from hand to mouth. Yet it is precisely from this element of our earthly career that our noblest qualities come. Endow a man so that he never has to worry about money, remove him from all temptations, insure him against ever falling ill and his soul will shrivel up like a bean. The strong, free, sweet souls are those who every day are stepping out into the dark.

And, like any other plant in the universe, each one thrives as his particular nature responds to his environment.

And also in this attitude they secure the greatest possible natural protection from their hairy coats, inasmuch as the wind forces the individual hairs more closely against the body. If this looks reasonable to teamster they should turn their horses' heads to the cold wind every time possible. --- Helen's Independence Helen looked up at the conductor with a flushed face. "I'm sorry," she said, "but I'm afraid that I have no money." "I guess you can find it if you have to," he snorted as he passed on. "Look again—and hurry up." He went out on the rear platform for a moment, but soon he followed another incoming passenger up the aisle. "I really can't find a single coin," said Helen, looking up from her disordered purse. "That's all right," was the more gracious response. "A gent out on the platform staked you." "Was it that man in the soft hat?" she asked as she caught sight of Harvey Tennant trying to look unconcerned. "Sure thing," he assented. "Shall I send him in?" "I do not care to be under obligations to the gentleman," she said coldly. "Please stop the car." It was intolerable that after last night Harvey should presume to pay her car fare. Had it been a total stranger she would have been grateful, but a man who only the night before had assured her that she could not get along without him! She would show him that she could, and she swept off the car with a majestic dignity that caused Tennant to smile. "Look here, Nell," he protested as he followed her to the sidewalk, "you must not be here alone. It is one of the toughest districts in town." "So I judge from its inhabitants," she said with a meaning glance at him. "It seems that they take pleasure in annoying unprotected women." "That's just the trouble," he said placidly, though his face reddened. "Don't be foolish. Let me lend you a nickel. You can send it back tonight. It is only what I would do for any woman in the same fix." "I do not have to trespass upon your chivalry," she declared, with a scornful accent upon the last word. "I am amply able to take care of myself." "I believe*we discussed that to no purpose last night," he said coldly. "I adhere to my original opinion." "And I to mine," she sniffed, as she began to walk on. Harvey dropped back a few paces and followed her. The dozen blocks bordering the freight yards bore a most unsavory reputation. No gently-bred woman was safe from insult. And just because he had ventured to criticise her boldness in venturing out alone on her charity visits she had broken their engagement the night before with the scornful statement that she was amply able to take care of herself and would have naught of a husband who already showed such a disposition to bully. He did not have long to wait for his revenge. On the next block a crowd of half-drunken loafers reeled from a saloon. Helen shrank to the edge of the sidewalk and by her very precaution attracted their attention. “There's me mussis,” shouted one as he lurched toward her. “Como here, me dear, and let hubby have a few coins for his beer.” As he staggered toward her Helen raised her hands to ward him off, and in doing so dropped her bundles. With a wild yell the rest of the crowd drove after the parcels just as Harvey dashed up. A few well-directed kicks scattered the crowd, but the first speaker was less easily disposed of. The idea that Helen was his wife had entered his drunken brain and refused to be dislodged and he made an attempt to clasp her in his arms while demanding of the new comer why he should seek to separate a loving pair. Harvey's answer was a blow that sent him sprawling, but he scrambled to his feet in an instant and staggered toward his assailant, waving a cotton hook that had dangled from his belt. With a scream Helen sought to throw herself between the two men, but Harvey thrust her quickly aside. The man in his drunken insanity would make no distinction and it was a fight man to man. He had had some experience on the mat. Had been the wrestling champion of his club for two seasons, and he maneuvered for an opening. It was no easy matter for he had seen fights among the longshoremen and know that a cotton hook was far more dangerous than a knife. It was some time before he could find his opening, but at last he closed in with a rush, pinioning his adversary's arms close to his side. After that the fight was a short one. Once at a disadvantage the rough collapsed and through a sudden turn of his thoughts became lachrymose. Harvey tearfully lamenting the loss of his wife while he assisted Helen to regain such bundles as had been left her. "I presume that you will not refuse car fare now," he said as he straightened out his overcoat. "Don't you think we could have a cab?" she suggested, "because you see, Harvey—we can hold hands in a cab." Contemptible. "They say he failed for $50,000." "Well, he always was a fellow that would do almost anything for a little money. I wouldn't think of fallin' for as little as that."

This week he defended two cases in the United States court, won his cases and was highly complimented by the judge of that court for the shrewd manner in which he conducted the cases, in the West Side criminal court. Lawyer Townsend defended a colored woman charged with robbing a white man. He cleared his client and he also cleared a man from the charge of non support (penitentiary offense) Thursday.

The alliance wishes to put emphasis upon the announcement that on Feb. 4th will occur a joint debate which carries much weight and is of importance to the people of this community and the whole race. The debaters are both speaking from conviction and upon a subject which they believe of vital importance. Resolved: That a lack of political liberty is a more fundamental evil than industrial inefficiency of our economic needs. Affirmative, C. W. Buford. Negative, C. A. Franklin. The subject matter is certainly timely and vital. The speakers are, both of them, well nown in the community for public activity and platform ability. Each in his own way commands attention and each usually gets a hearing and convince someone of the righteousness of their pleadings. What they will have to say will be worth your while. Each speaker will be allowed 30 minutes in which to present his side, divided as they may mutually agree and when it is over—well—come and hear and see for yourself Brickler's New Barber Shop is located at 2208 Larmer street.

At Dania hall on the 20th the young men of the city gave a stag party, which brought together about one hundred of our men for a social evening, which was pleasantly spent with wit, singing and speech making. A bountiful repast was served, which consisted of all the delicacies of the season. It was indeed surprising to see so many men together enjoying themselves as they did with out one discordant word or anything to occur to mar the pleasure of the party. The promoters of the party deserve much credit for the success of the party and its good management. THE COLORADO STATESMAN ON THE LOOKOUT. While everything is rising, and the cost of living is soaring, The Colorado Statesman has been in search of a place where the consumers can purchase groceries of every description at wholesale prices, and at last it found the ideal place.

A cordial invitation is extended to all cold members of Scott's to attend the revival services now in progress at Scott's. Two happy souls are rejoicing in the God of their salvation. One is a convert and the other is a reclaimed one. Let the prayers of the Christians go up unceasingly for the enemies of the Cross. Pastor Wallace, assisted by the Holy Spirit, is conducting the meetings. Truly the church is being revived. The clubs who worked so valiantly for the success of the recent rally have been pressed into the service. The captains are captains of salvation. We invite all Christians to "come over in Macedonia and help us." Several names of loved ones were handed in last Sunday night for prayer. We are praying for the ones who handed the names in as well as those whose names appear on the cards. Let those who wish their friends saved come into the meetings and help save them. Mrs. Wallace and the children arrived home safe and sound, but much tired and fatigued. All the trains were late and this caused them not to arrive home until 9:30 p.m. Friday night. She sends her best regards to all inquiring friends. Subjects for Sunday are: "Influence Example," "Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles; that whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may by your good works which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:12. Sunday evening: The Faith That Saves," "Sirs, what shall I do to be saved? And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:30, 31. You should bear these subjects. They will do your soul good. The little Junior choir filled the choir stand Sunday morning. Mrs. Mary L. Hicks directed the children in the absence of Mrs. Florstein Dooley. They are making heavenly music. You should hear them sing. Mrs. Anna B. Dawson is on the sick list this week. She is suffering with la grippe. Sunday afternoon our members and friends are requested to attend the Quarterly meeting at Campbell's A. M. E. church. The pastor has been invited to deliver the sacramental sermon. Mrs. Onie Wallace, the pastor's mother will keep house after the first of the month. At this time the regular weekly ladies societies will resume meeting at the parsonage. FRIENDS ALL WANT IT. Mrs. D. B. Simmons of Silex, Ark., writes: "I tried one bottle of Ford's Hair Pomade and found it to be the best preparation I have ever used. It stopped my hair from falling out and breaking off and my hair is now as soft as it can be and is longer than it has been for a long time. My friends all want it.

A certain small Chicago boy perpetually begged for coffee, and an elderly friend advised his reluctant mother to quench his desire for the forbidden beverage by giving him coffee at will—but strong, black, and without cream of sugar. "How do like coffee?" the child was asked, when this suggestion had been obeyed. "It would be first rate if it had cream and sugar in it," the knowing little shaver replied. The Book Said So. The geography class was in session. One small pupil astonished the class by stating that in a certain section of South America there were talking monkeys. When the teacher questioned the statement the youngster opened his geography and triumphantly read: "This region is inhabited by a species of monkey; properly speaking, apes."—The Delineator.

The wonderful halo that the sun wears is one of the most interesting objects in the heavens to astronomers, and it is important to know all that can be known about these strange lights that shoot out millions of miles beyond the sun.

The Union reconnoisance in force by General McClernand in the direction of Columbus, Kentucky, returned to Cairo. The expedition, consisting of nearly five thousand men, left Cairo ten days ago and penetrated to a point within a mile and a half of the Confederate defenses about Columbus. The Confederates, seeing the enemy in such force, expected and prepared for an attack. The Union force withdrew, after ascertaining the position, extent and strength of the Confederate defenses. The expedition resulted in the acquisition of valuable information concerning roads that were not marked on the maps in the possession of the Federal officers, as well as a knowledge of the Confederate position. Adjutant-General Harding reported the number of citizens of Missouri that had enlisted in the Union army for three years at 33,882. Lieutenant Ammen, commanding the United States gunboat Seneca, reported to Commodore Dupont that the negroes in the neighborhood of Port Royal, South Carolina, which was in the hands of the Federal army and navy, were anxious to be furnished with guns. January 22, 1862. The Memphis Argus published the following: "We are every day called upon to publish the farcical freaks of the Federal legislation which transpire in the Lincoln congress, as a part of the extraordinary history of the times. . . . We notice . . . a bill which one Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio, has announced he will soon introduce into the lower house of that august body. The measure very humanely proposes that the enlightened and Christian north shall assume complete control over the ignorant and barbarous south, reducing all her states to the condition of a territorial or provincial government, and then immediately abolish slavery within their limits. . . . But, happily for the south, the issue is not now one of legislation, but of the sword, not of the ballot, but of the bayonet." Marble Nash Taylor, loyal provisional governor of North Carolina, made the arrival of General Burnside an occasion to issue a proclamation from Hatteras, North Carolina, congratulating the people of the state on their deliverance from thraldom by the "invincible arms of the republic," calling upon them to co-operate with the army in restoring their rights, so recently lost, and appointing the 22d of February as the day on which the ordinances of the provisional convention of November 18 should be submitted to the people for ratification. He also called for an election of United States congressmen for the same day, to fill the vacancies then existing in the representation of North Carolina in that body. January 23, 1862. Major-General Halleck, commanding the department of the Missouri, threw into jail citizens of St. Louis who endeavored, by legal process, to escape his general order No. 24, under which sympathizers of the south were obliged to pay assessments for the benefit of the southwestern fugitives. Samuel Engler, a prominent merchant, refusing to pay his assessment, suffered a seizure of his property to the extent of his assessment and a penalty of twenty-five per cent added. Upon an attempt to recover the property by replevin, both he and his attorney were seized and thrown into the military prison, and subsequently expelled the Union lines, with orders not to return without special permission. General Halleck justified his action under the plea of martial law. A force of one hundred Confederate cavalry entered Blandville, Kentucky, and carried off the books and records of the county. The captain of the band assured the citizens that any who had suffered at the hands of the Union soldiers or who should be made to suffer, would be reimbursed out of levies on Union sympathizers. The Confederate steamer Calhoum was captured off the southwest pass of the Mississippi river by one of the blockading squadron. The Confederates deserted the vessel after firing her, but the fire was extinguished by the Union sailors and the steamer taken off. A stone fleet was sunk by the Federals in the channels of Charlestown harbor to further block the entrances to the port. January 24. 1862. A large meeting in honor of the late General Zollicoffer, killed in the battle at Mill Springs, Ky., on January 19, was held in the St. Charles hotel, New Orleans. The following resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, that we have received the intelligence of the death of General Felix K. Zollicoffer, with feelings of the profoundest sorrow, and lament his untimely end as an irreparable loss to the cause for which he heroically gave his life. In private life, or in discharging his public duties, we always found him an incorruptible patrol. Cool and collected amdist troubles, he was unfaltering in the execution of his purpose. No man, since General Andrew Jackson, enjoyed, so completely, the con- fidence and undivided esteem of the people of Tennessee. "Resolved, That we mourn his death as a great public loss, which is only relieved by the recollection that he fell fighting bravely at the head of his column, against the invaders of his country." Two blockade runners, endeavoring to run the blockade off Pas a l'Outre, at the mouth of the Mississippi, went ashore and were burned by their crews, who escaped. The schooners were laden with cotton. The Union light boat stationed near the middle ground at the entrance to the Chesapeake, broke from its moorings and went ashore at Pleasure House Beach, near Cape Henry. The vessel and crew fell into the hands of the Confederates. January 25. 1862. William H. Seward, secretary of state for the United States, issued an order to the marshal of the District of Columbia directing him "not to receive into custody any persons claimed to be held to service or labor within the District, or elsewhere, and not charged with any crime or misdemeanor, unless upon arrest or commitment, pursuant to law, as fugitives from such labor or service," and "not to retain any such fugitives in custody beyond a period of thirty days from their arrest and commitment, unless by special order of competent civil authority." The order was to be enforced ten days after its issuance, and had no relation to arrests made by military authority. Governor Pierpont declared vacant all the civil offices on the eastern shore of Virginia, beyond the Chesapeake, recently occupied by a Federal force, and the commanding general of the force issued orders for an election of such officers. The Confederate prisoners taken with the capture of Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, who had been released on parole after a period of confinement in Fort Warren, Boston harbor, were released from their parole, having been exchanged for a like number of Union prisoners. Henry S. Foote of Mississippi offered peace resolutions in the Confederate congress at Richmond. January 26, 1862. General Halleck issued an order commanding the president and officers of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, private organization of business men, to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. If any one of them shall have failed to do so within ten days, his office shall be declared vacated, and any attempt on his part to perform its functions will subject him to arrest for contempt and punishment according to the laws of war," was the import of the threat contained in the order. Fifteen thousand men paraded the streets of New Orleans in celebration of the first anniversary of the Independence of Louisiana, the state having seceeded on January 26, 1861. The parade was followed by a banquet in the St. Charles hotel, at which the governor and high state officials were present. A reconnoisance of two Federal regiments and a company of cavalry from Camp George Wood, near Munfordville, Ky., developed the presence of Gen. Hindman's Confederate brigade three miles beyond Horse Cave. The railroad track was found destroyed in places to a point within four miles of the Federal position, the roads were barricaded with trees felled by the Confederates, and the reservoirs in the countryside were reeking with the stench of dead horses and hogs and cattle the Confederates had killed, in their program of making the Union advance as difficult as possible. January 27, 1862. The Reverend Bishop Ames of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Hamilton Fish of New York where appointed by the president as commissioners to visit the Confederate prisons and tend to the necessities and wants of the Union soldiers held there. The Norfolk Day Book commented as follows on the appointments: "The Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, who succeeds General Cameron in King Lincoln's war office, favors us with a remarkable document, the cool effrontery of which excites our unqualified admiration. The exquisite modesty of this proposition to send official inspectors of our defences and general condition entitles Mr. Stanton to the reputation of being the most impudent man among all King Lincoln's proverbially impudent subjects." In the Western Virginia Legislature a proposition was introduced to provide that no slave should be brought into the state, and that all children born of slave parents after the first of January, 1865, should be free, and placed under an apprenticeship by the state. The proposition was referred to the committee on General Provisions. Diplomatic correspondence passed between Earl Russell and Secretary Seward, in which the former condemned in strong terms the fact that the British schooner James Campbell, captured for a breach of the blockade, had been brought into New York with the English flag flying below the American flag. Secretary Seward replied that the unseemly act was occasioned by a misapprehension of his duties on the part of the Federal officer in charge of the prize, and that orders had been issued to prevent a repetition of the offense. The president of the United States issued General Order No. 1, commanding a general advance against the Confederate forces in the field on February 22. (Copyright, 1911, by W. G. Chapman.) Sherlock's Elopement By JAMES HAWKINS Sherlock watched the dapper figure elamber over the side. He had seen him several times over at the hotel. Some one had said he was a South American revolutionist awaiting a favorable opportunity to dash across the Gulf. At any rate he was decidedly too attentive to Leigh Granger to suit Bert Sherlock. Apparently the little man was not accustomed to yachts for he stumbled on the ladder and would have fallen back into the boat had not one of the sailors boosted him aboard. "The senor skipper?" demanded the intruder as he arranged his disordered dress. "The same," admitted Sherlock, with a bow. "How can I serve you?" "Much—very much," gesticulated the other. "I am Jesus Maria Juan Santiago Alvora." "All of that? murmured Sherlock in mock amazement. The other searched the grave face for possible mockery but finding none there continued: "I see you know not who that is." "The name is imposing—but unfamiliar," apologized Sherlock. "You see I am recently arrived. I am not yet familiar with the notabilities." "Very true," assented Alvora graciously. "You are not to be blamed. But over there," he added with a majestic sweep toward the southern horizon. "they know and fear the name. It brings terror to the bravest hearts." "I can imagine," agreed Sherlock politely. "Yes," beamed Alvoro. "I have come to see you upon business. Your owner—he is here?" "My owner?" echoed Sherlock. "There is a flag they fly when the owner he is present. I have watch three day. He is not here?" "The owner's flag is not flying," he assented. "He will be here soon, yes?" asked Alvoro. "Perhaps. I cannot say." "Three day: a week—two weeks?" "What is it you want?" demanded Sherlock. "I would charter your beautiful boat," explained Alvoro. "I would elope." "Elope? You mean escape?" suggested Sherlock—"from your enemies." "I have said 'elope'" declared Alvoro, kissing his finger tips. "I would elope with a goddess." "And you want to hire the boat?" "Yes," he exclaimed. "I must have a boat. You will take us to Bunoventa. I shall make a revolution." "I guess I can fix it," declared Sherlock. It would be at least a week before Frederick Granger would be gone and he could make his presence known to Leigh. "Tomorrow you shall be at the point," exclaimed Alvoro. "I shall ride to the point. Two of my men shall be there to help yours; we shall seize her. Once aboard, ho for Bunovental She shall marry me then and I shall be dictator." "Perhaps her parents will object," suggested Sherlock. "It might get me into trouble on my return." "No," was the eager answer. "She only objects." "What's the lady's name?" demanded Sherlock. "Granger," announced Alvoro proudly. "You mus' know him. Yes?" "I know him," admitted Sherlock. "He is with you?" "Mos' hearty. His the idea is. She like a young man of the north. Granger say 'you shall take her on to your own land. She will marry the Presidente and forget the other.'" "I'm with you," declared Sherlock. "We'll make it an elopement to live in history for quickness and dispatch." "You are my fren, my bes' fren," declared Alvoro. "You shall be what you call admiral." "That's a go, too," agreed Sherlock. "but look here. I can't have your men on board. I've a big crew. They can follow on a fruit steamer." "Jus' so," agreed Alvoro. "Be then at the point at 2. I will pay $500 in gold. Also shall you be admiral." He tumbled into the waited boat and Sherlock watched him across to the dock. Then, with a short laugh he turned on his heel and went into the cabin. This, then, was the reason his own suit had been received with no favor. Granger was fitting out a filibustering expedition. His daughter should marry the successful leader of the revolution and the Granger list of fruit steamers would escape the heavy harbor dues. Late that evening the Enid left her anchorage and drew off toward the point, a promontory some three miles to the south of the hotel heavily wooded with cocoanuts and palms. He anchored on the further side, and at noon he and his mate ashore and concealed themselves in the bushes. It was a long wait until the senor and Leigh Granger made their appearance on horseback, followed by the senor's body servant. At the sight of the boat Alvoro's eyes lighted up. He reined in his horse and turned to his companion. "It was today," he began, "that you was tell me that you marry me. Say, is it not yes?" "Never," was the firm answer. "I have told you repeatedly that I shall never marry you." "An' I tell you that you shall," he shouted as he forced his horse against "My owner?" echoed Sherlock. "Perhaps. I cannot say." hers. The shock half unsented her and as she reeled in the saddle two men with masks over their faces sprang toward her. For a moment she fought them off, but she was no match for two muscular men, and before Alvoro could discount and come to their assistance they were carrying her to the boat. They placed her, fainting, in the stern. Alvoro leaped into the bow and with strong strokes they pulled toward the yacht. It was the work of a moment to pass Leigh over the side and boost Alvoro after her. In another moment the tender was slung and the screw began to churn the blue water. Alvoro pranced up and down the deck in jubilation of spirits. Already, in imagination, he could see himself, the victor of the army, ruling in the executive mansion at Marino. Already two of the Granger fruiters had started from New Orleans with small arms and field pieces. For a year his agents had been working to perfect an organization. It needed only arms and the men. Both were on the way. He peered toward the south while yet the Florida coast was in sight, vainly seeking a gilpimp of the promised land. Suddenly eight bells rang and the new watch came on deck. The skipper came out of the chart house and stood looking down. At a signal two of the men sprang upon the little man and bore him to the deck. In spite of his diminutive size he was no coward, and he fought fiercely to draw his guns, but it was no use. Presently he lay panting on the deck, bound hand and foot. Sherlock came and stood over him. "The elopement is getting along famously," he smiled cheerfully. "This is treason," stormed the little man. "I am mos' surprise that you should act thus." "I don't think I care to be admiral, thank you," was the retort. "I think I would rather marry that young woman in the cabin." "But she is mine," stormed Alvoro. "You shall be a thief to take her." "Seems to me we helped you to do a little stealing a short time ago," suggested Sherlock. "If the shoe gets on the other foot it ought to fit as easy." "But she is mine," pleaded Alvoro. "Her father have gave her to me. He will be annoyed." "I can quite understand that," laughed Sherlock. "He will certainly be annoyed with you." "Non, with you," insisted Alvoro. "He is a mos' big man. He is a millionaire." This last was in a hushed whisper that brought the smile to Sherlock's lips. "I'm a millionaire, too," he explained pleasantly. "You are- Sherlock?" gasped Al voro. "At your service," agreed Sherlock. "But your flag said it was not you," gasped the senor. "You should have had your flag if you were on board." "There were purely personal reasons why I did not want to fly the pennant," explained Sherlock. The senor resorted to Spanish to relieve his feelings. Sherlock, who spoke the tongue, smiled. "I don't blame you," he laughed. "It's turning the tables. Now, look here. You've been useful to me. I tell you what I'll do. You show me the part of the coast where you can get the boats that are waiting for you, and I'll put you off. That will make it a nice little honeymoon trip for us." "Who will marry you?" exulted Alvoro. "You forget." "Why, Miss Granger," explained Sherlock. "You have no minister," was the triumphant retort. "I shipped one last night," laughed Sherlock. "Would you like to come down and witness the ceremony?" Alvoro glanced at his bonds. At a sign from Sherlock a sailor stepped forward and undid the lashings, at the same time feeling for any concealed weapons. Together the two men made for the cabin, where Leigh sat. For a moment Alvoro hung in the doorway, then he went forward and bowed low over the girl's hand. "I had hoped," he said, "that it would be our nuptials we would celebrate. I felicitate you, though my heart—it breaks." With a smile the girl thanked him and turned toward Bert. Alvoro sprang forward. "At least," he said gallantly, "it should be mine to give away the bride. Your father he has give you to me. Now I give you to Senor Sherlock." He drew from his pocket a handsome ring. "It was all provided," he explained. "To the victor belongs the spoils." The girl looked at Sherlock, who nodded, and with the ring intended for so different a groom, the wedding was celebrated. Alvoro insisted upon champagne at the dinner that followed. He was of too mercurial a temperament to grieve over disappointed hopes. At last he sprang to his feet. "I offer a toast," he cried: "To yourselves and myself; to the runaways and the revolutionist. May I have plenty of fights and may you have none." And the old clergyman, sitting apart, whispered gently, "Amen." ★ ★ ★ The Prior Furniture Co. 1814 Curtis Street We buy and sell new and second hand Furniture, also repair work. Window shades.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUTS STAULS DENVER, COLO HILL AND MUDGE DENY RUMOR STORY THAT BURLINGTON WILL PURCHASE GOULD LINES IS FALSE. TRAFFIC ALLIANCE SURE SUCH ARRANGEMENT IS OBJECT OF NEGOTIATIONS NOW ON. New York. Of the rumor that the Burlington is considering purchase of an interest in the Gould roads, James J. Hill, who is in New York, said that there was absolutely no truth in it. He added that the Burlington would not undertake to buy control of any road west of Denver, but that, as for some years, it would continue to exchange traffic with these roads. He also characterized as nonsense the report that the Great Northern will take over the Northern Pacific's interest in the Burlington. Mr. Hill did not have anything to say regarding a traffic alliance between the Burlington or its subsidiary, the Colorado & Southern, and the Rock Island on one hand and the Western Pacific on the other. Such a traffic arrangement is the true object of the negotiations that are on affecting the Western Pacific and its attainment is regarded as altogether probable by persons best informed on Hill railroad affairs. The probability of such an arrangement has been the basis for the recent recovery in Denver & Rio Grande and for the present strength in Rock Island. Chicago.—President Mudge of the Rock Island railway discredits rumors that his road contemplates acquisition of an interest in the Denver & Rio Grande and Western Pacific, which has been rumored. If such a movement is afoot, he states, it is without his knowledge. "Any change in ownership," said Mr. Mudge, "would be for the purpose primarily of securing a traffic alliance, and we have that already. Besides, we have an even larger traffic interchange with the Harriman lines, connecting with them at El Paso." Children Save Train; Are Rewarded. San Francisco.—One hundred dollars each was the reward sent to seven-year-old Alleen Martin and her fourteen-year-old sister, Alma, who prevented a Southern Pacific passenger train from being wrecked by a broken rail near Alta, Jan. 13. The reward was sent by E. E. Calvin, vice president and general manager of the Harriman lines in California, and it was accompanied by a letter expressing the appreciation of the company for the quick witted action of the girls. Little Alleen, who is a daughter of a section foreman, was walking along the track when she detected the rail, broken in three places. She knew that a passenger train was soon due and she telephoned the agent at Towie, telling him to notify the train crew. He told her that the train had gone, and she started down the track to signal it. On the way she met her sister and the two children succeeded in having the train stopped. Roadad men said that had the train struck the broken rail a bad accident would have resulted. Taft Will Veto Steel Measure. Washington.—President Taft intimated to Congressmen Payne, Dalzell and McCall, minority members of the House ways and means committee, that he would veto the Democratic revision of the steel schedule unless the tariff board reports in favor of it. The Senate public lands committee has favorably reported the Borah bill reducing the term of residence before issue of patent upon homesteads from five to three years. To Prosecute Butter Trust.

BOOK ON THE MUSEUM FORTIETH VOLUME NOW OUT GIVES MANY NEW FACTS. Adventures of Famous Explorers Into Hitherto Unknown Fields Given In Interesting Style—Mammals Get Big Share. The National museum in Washington has just issued the fortieth volume of its proceedings. These books are always of the greatest interest to the natural history world, since they are filled from cover to cover with important and absolutely new information regarding animals, plants, rocks and minerals and the native U.S. CAPITOL tribes of mankind from all parts of the world. Not only are the facts new or just discovered, but they present shadowings of the dim, yet fascinating, borderland of partial knowledge; truths suspected, but not yet demonstrated; the guesses of today, which may become the established facts of to-morrow. No one can peruse the articles which this National museum volume contains without wishing to know more about the strange things with which they deal. The mammals collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott in Borneo and the neighboring islands are described by Dr. Marcus W. Lyons, Jr., who writes as well of the country, inhabitants, life, etc. Dr. Abbott is one of those wonderful Americans who spend their lives in the tropical wilds of the old world and know more about the jungle than the natives themselves. The article contains an interesting account of how the sun bears of the Tanjong Pamukang country destroy the palm trees by climbing to the top and eating out the "heart" of the palm. At one place, in a grove of about ninety trees, it was discovered that more than half had been destroyed in this manner. There is no way for the natives to put a stop to this destruction, however, as the Dutch authorities took away all their guns some time ago, and so the bears have everything their own way. A fight between a hawk and a flying lemur, resulting in the capture of both participants, is recorded in an interesting manner. The Dyaks of southwestern Borneo hunt nearly all the game in the vicinity of their settlements with spears, except in the case of the orang-outang, which is hunted with guns. It seems these wild people are very fond of the meat of the orang and consequently those animals are very scarce in the neighborhood of Dyak camps. Mr. Hollister, assistant curator of the division of mammals, United States National museum, also has a mammal paper on the long-tailed shrews of the eastern United States, with descriptions of new species. For the benefit of the unenlightened, it might be remarked that the shrew is one of the smaller insectivores, resembling closely in appearance its first cousin, the mole. When Hoffman Phillips was minister to Abyssinia and lived at the capitol of King Menelek at Addis Abeba, he got together a remarkable collection of writings, utensils, ornaments, art objects, costumes, etc., of the Abyssinians, which later came into the possession of the National museum. As this is probably the first collection of this kind brought to America, the illustrated description of it by Dr. Walter Hough is decidedly worth reading, especially as he points out the singular survivals of the ancient culture of northern Africa, the adjoining part of Asia and eastern Europe, which linger on in Abyssinia and are discernible in the various objects of this collection. Several articles of interest come under entomology, the scientific study of insects. One on the collection of bees of the National museum, by T. D. A. Cockerell of the University of Colorado, deals chiefly with the study of the Asiatic bees collected by Dr. Abbott, and forms the second paper in a series being prepared by Dr. Cockerell. There are papers on millipeds, members of the same class of many-footed insects as the centipedes, also wasps, moths and ichneumon flies. Dr George P Merrill, head curator of geology of the museum, discusses the supposed origin of some extraordinary musses of natural glass, called moldavites. These strange glassy pebbles are about the size and shape of walnuts and the color of dark green bottle glass, but resemble pieces of larva, strangely marked and etched. Whether they came from volcanoes or fell from the sky is a question no one can answer at present. The volume also contains other articles on fishes, birds, insects, crinoids, crustaceans, etc. These are chiefly technical and describe new forms in the collections of the National museum. The publication has 670 pages, 622 plates and 40 text figures. Threatened War. The other day an excited Italian flung a brick at an employee at the Turkish embassy in Washington Immediately a horrible possibility of war between Turkey and Italy right here in the Capital City suggested itself to Chief of Police Sylvester, and he stationed a policeman directly in front of the Turkish embassy, and one is to stand there night and day until the present trouble between Turkey and Italy is settled. BEAUTIFUL WASHINGTON GIRL Miss Margaret Gage In Descendant of Kings Mrs. Harley Calvin Gage has published a pamphlet showing her royal descent and colonial ancestry. It takes thirty-two pages to give a complete list of the noted ancestors of Mrs. Gage, with some biographical notes concerning them. In the English line Mrs. Gage traces her ancestors back to Alfred the Great, who was born in 849. In Portugal she finds ancestors beginning with Queen Philippa, who was the daughter of John of Gaunt. In Germany Mrs. Gage's family line begins with Charlemagne, and he, too, is the first in the French line of Mrs. Gage's ancestors. In Spain Mrs. Gage traces her ancestry to Sancho III., who was emperor and king of Navarre and who died in 1035. Mrs. Gage's pedigree covers an unbroken period of more than 1,400 years, including not only kings and emperors, but princes, dukes, earls and knights of almost every country of Europe. In the colonial line she traces her ancestry back to Thomas Dudley, colonial governor of Massachusetts, and other men and women distinguished in the colonial history of the United States. Mrs. Gage was Mary Eldora Mott, daughter of Hon. Ashley Mott. She was born at Caid- Miss Margaret Vivian Gage. well manor in Vermont. She was married in Minneapolis to Harley Calvin Gage, son of Calvin Gage, a prominent citizen of New Hampshire. Mrs. Gage came to Washington from Boston eighteen months ago, accompanied by her daughter Margaret, whom she is introducing to society. They have a home on DuPont circle, where they have done some delightful entertaining. Miss Margaret Vivian Gage, whose picture is shown, has been pronounced one of the most beautiful girls in Washington—in fact, she is named as one of the three who are considered the most beautiful of Washington women. The other two are Miss Katherine Jennings and Gladys Hinckley. Members of the diplomatic corps who have seen the beautiful women of the courts of Europe, say they have never seen one more beautiful than Miss Gage. Miss Gage has been educated in fashionable private schools of New York and Washington. She has also studied in Italy, France and Germany, and is an accomplished linguist. She is a fine and fearless equestrienne. CATCH 410 COUNTERFEITERS That's the Number Uncle Sam's Secret Service Sleuths Captured Last Year. According to the annual report of John E. Wilkie, chief of the Government Secret Service, it has been a busy year for the operatives who devote their time to chasing counterfeiters. His figures show that 410 were rounded up in various parts of the country and 218 of them have been convicted. The others are yet to be tried. One or the most notable arrests of the year was that of Harry Porter, the famous Denver "Dollar Man." It took nearly four years to run Porter to bay. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the report of Chief Wilkie is his statistics on the nationality of counterfeiters. Of the 418 crooks his record shows that 281 are native Americans. Italy holdsecond place with seventy-five, then comes Russia with thirteen and Austria-Hungary with the same number. Germany and Poland had three each and Canada two, while Ireland, England, Scotland, Bohemia and France each have one. Chief Wilkie considers the greatest piece of work of the department during the year was the nipping in the bud of the plans of "counterfeiters to unload millions in Mexican currency in this country. Next in importance he considers the arrest and conviction of the "Black Hand" artists in New York. This was one of the most dangerous gangs the country ever has known. Wilkie has spent much of his time relajusting affairs in the customs service, as in addition to being head of the secret service he is now head of the customs agents and is trying to put that service on a firm basis. He has brought order out of chaos in the short time he has been in charge. Want National Park on Volcano. Kilaueou, in Hiawaii, the largest active volcano in the world and at the same time the safest, is recommended to become part of a national park by Governor Frear of the territory to the secretary of the interior. The proposed park would include the volcano and the country surrounding it. MONARCH LIQUOR COMPANY IMPORTED & DOMESTIC WINES & LIQUORS D. W. REEVES, Manager. W. P. JONES, Proprietor.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street In Masquerade In striking costumes of historic periods, the belles and beaux of New York society made socially memorable the Daisy Masquerade Ball, given by Mrs. William F. Draper, in honor of her debutante daughter Margaret. Two costumes that were greatly admired are shown in the illustration. MUST BE WORN WITH GRACE Enormous Fur Scarf is Decidedly a Thing of Beauty or It is the Reverse. The most striking fur fad of the season is the enormous scarf, usually straight but occasionally pointed at the ends, very supple and light, very wide, long enough to wind round the body in any manner desired and still fall almost to the ground. The graceful wearing of these fur scarfs is an art and difficult of mastery. Perhaps that is why the Parisienne has taken up the cult so enthusiastically. She loves a mode that must be taken seriously, that falls lamentably if not carried off with verve and understanding, and these great scarfs afford opportunity for subtle skill in draping and in handling. When not worn gracefully they are bunglesome and awkward. To be able to buy one is not all. One must be able to wear it becomingly, coquettishly, after it is bought. Here is another of the styles for the slender woman. The fat woman and the new fur scarf are hopelessly incompatible. Graceful Ruffles. Ruffles have come into fashion again. Slender women and young girls will welcome these dainty trimmings for their evening dresses. Some of the newest frocks from Paris have a narrow ruffle around the bottom of the skirt. Many show the same mode of adorning plain bodices. A pretty model for a debutante, especially if she be a slender slip of a girl, is a frock of figured net made up over a slip of satin in a delicate shade. Narrow ruffles are being applied to the new gowns in many different ways. The surplice effect is obtained sometimes with a broad piece of embroidery laid on over the shoulders and edged with a narrow ruffle of lace or hemstitched batiste or handkerchief linen. Ruffles of embroidery or lace sailor collars, cuffs and the broad brim of lingerie hats. Frocks for Growing Girls. The mothers of growing daughters should be very careful about the fit of their frocks, especially to have all parts loose enough, for girls in their teens are apt to pine for a small waist and will endure tortures from a tight band rather than own up to any discomfort. This as a matter of course leads to lacing, and they will contrike in some way to pull in or make smaller even the corded waists that they wear. The shoulders of a frock should also be loose, to prevent stooping. Popularity of Veils. Vells are being worn with all kinds of hats and also toques. The most fashionable are in net with lace patterns, but different kinds of craquelin net are fancied in colors as well as black and white, the latter being often preferred even for dark hats and toques made of fur. Vells are arranged so as to come well down under the chin and to cover the ears and the throat, and are fastened at the nape of the neck as well as to the hat.—Millinery Trade Review. EVENING DRESS. This design has an under-dress of soft satin in a deep shade of mauve, this is quite plain; fawn-colored ninon forms the tunic and overbodice; it is fulled in at the waist, and the lower edge is finished with deep mauve fringe. A dainty trimming of chiffon flowers and foliage is sewn above; this also trims the upper edge of bodice, which has a tucker and under-sleeves of cream ninon. The sleeves are left unsewn at the outside where pieces of ribbon and buttons connect them. A sash of satin ribbon is taken round the waist; fringed ends are left hanging down the left side of front. New Jumper Blessed be the one who invented the jumper. It serves such a multitude of needs; it fits in with so many occasions. The newest one is quite smart and looks so different from the ones we have had that it could easily be passed off under a new name. It is not round at the neck, nor does it have kimono sleeves; it is V-shaped back and front and its two fronts cross over just above the waist and go to the back, where they finish in a flat bow. It is worn over a blouse of dotted net or shadow lace, which is either unlined or dropped over a slip of flesh-colored pink chiffon cloth or china silk. Spring Model. A new waist counted among "advance spring models" has a deep V which is edged all around with a wide flat net plaiting which is cut in sharp points. The waist is made of chiffon on any color to match the suit, and it has a yoke of chiffon and shadow lace. The elbow sleeves have deep pointed frills like the V neck LIKE THROWING AWAY MONEY American Cook Wastes Liquids From Which French Cook Would Make Appetizing Meal. "Only water," says the American and English cook, pouring off the liquid from asparagus and cauliflower and onions and potatoes, and thereby sending down her kitchen sink that of which a French woman would make an appetizing meal. In French and Italian kitchens the soup pot stands always on the stove, and into it goes every bit of water from the following vegetables: Onions, peas, beans, turnips, parsnips, carrots, potatoes, asparagus, artichokes, cauliflower and cabbage. The liquid from "greens," such as beet tops, spinach, dandelion and kale cannot be used for soup, but the water from spinach is excellent as a sauce for fish, if slightly thickened and flavored with butter. The soup pot, receiving all this contribution of savory liquid, does not need the great quantities of meat that make it so expensive an item in American and English economics. The bone from a porterhouse or sirloin steak, well cracked, is sufficient, or, from a leg of lamb that has been cooked rare, or from any roasted or broiled meat. Endless variations can be made on this foundation of a bone and water. A cupful of dried Lima beans and half a head of cabbage, chopped, together with a bit from the dinner of the day before, like string beans or carrots, will give a very good Milanese soup, of which Italians are so fond. A teaspoonful of Extract of Beef diluted with a quart of the essence of the pot will produce fine consome. In August, when peas are getting too old and coarse to be eaten as a vegetable, strain a quart of them into the pot, after cooking them thoroughly, add the water in which they were boiled, thicken very slightly, and you will have a purée of peas that cannot be improved upon. Clear vegetable soup can be produced by putting a cup of finely chopped parsley, onion and celery into the pot and simmering half an hour "Croutons," little cubes of toasted bread, should be dropped in at the last moment. Rich vegetable soup is made by adding to the pot two or three fresh tomatoes, several onions, a bunch of carrots, two potatoes diced and a few stalks of celery. Any vegetables left from a dinner should be cut into little bits and dropped into the soup pot. Raw string beans, chopped and cooked an hour in the pot, and a handful of water cress, added half an hour before serving, makes an unusual soup, which is typically French TO KEEP PARLOR RUG FLAT By Use of Cleverly Contrived Snap-Button Exasperating Hummocks Are Eliminated. An ingenious somebody has thought of a way to keep the parlor rug from humping itself into exasperating hummocks when the bridge table is dragged over it, and the bedroom rug from curling meanly at its edge so that you stumble over it and break your eyeglasses against the door jamb. The new device is nothing more nor less than a cleverly contrived snap-button and catch—much larger, of course, than the tiny affair which tailors use to fasten skirt openings. The button is tacked to the floor and the catch switched to the wrong side of the ring—and there you are. It is the work of only a moment to unfasten the snap-catch and loosen the rug for a shaking out of doors. Dry Cleaning for White Articles. Place the blouse or lace to be cleaned on a white sneet and rub block magnesia over all parts as you would soap. After covering it entirely with magnesia, fold the sheet in many thicknesses around it. Pound on one side, then on the other; this drives the magnesia through the material. Leave in the powder for some hours, repeat the process and shake out-of-doors until entirely free from the powder. The garment will come out thoroughly clean and a little pressing will make it look like new. Fine illusion may be cleaned in this way; also white felt hats.-Dellineator. A White Plum Pudding. Beat to a cream a half cup sugar and three-quarters cup butter. Add four eggs well beaten, a saltspoonful salt, two cups milk and a quart of flour mixed with one-half cup shredded citron, one-half cup seeded raisins, one-half cup currants, a teaspoonful grated nutmeg and a teaspoonful vanilla. Just before turning into the mold stir in two even tablespoonfuls baking powder. Boll or steam two hours and serve with any good sauce. Use a Stand For Pie: Never set a pie on a flat surface when remove from the oven. Use a flatiron stand or wire teapot stand. This prevents steamed and soaked and soggy under pie crust. Three table forks placed so that the tines meet in one point in the center will let the air circulate under when one has not the stand. Clean the Irons. When heating flatirons it is a good plan to lift and wipe them after being on the stove a few seconds, as the moisture caused by the first heating causes them to become rusty if they are left until they are thoroughly heated. This will also save the labor of cleaning them when ironing. DAY OR NIGHT. A. M. LA Undert A first-class Mortuary establishment time of death of loved ones.
