Guests SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Feb. 24. About fifty guests from the North attended the great central meeting of the Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute Thursday and Friday of this week. One party headed by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, President of Sears, Roebuck and Company of Chicago came from the North, stopping on their way at Nashville, Tennessee, to visit several of the colored schools of that city. The party arrived in Tuskegee Thursday morning by special train from Montgomery. In addition to Mr. and Mrs Rosenwald and their son, Lester, the party consisted of the following persons: Mr. Walter G. Franz, Cincinnati, Ohio; Mr. H. F. Fisk, of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and Mrs. Fisk, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, Editor of the Chicago Record Herald; Dr. A. W. Harris, President of Northwestern University; Judge Julian W. Mack, of the United States Court of Commerce, and Mrs. Mack; Mr. Edward B. Butler, President of Butler Bros., and Mrs. Butler; Mr. Chas. R. Crane, President of the Crane Co., and Mrs. Crane; Mr. Joseph L. Bache, Director of the Jewish Training School; Mr. Sherman C. Kingsley, Director of the United Charities and the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund; Mr L. A. Philips, Superintendent of the Glenwood Manual Training School, near Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Max Adler, brother-in-law and sister of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, and Mr. A. Mitchell Innes, of the British Embassy at Washington. The other party, headed by Hon. Seth Low, former Mayor of New York, arrived from New York Wednesday evening. Among those in the party were, in addition to Mr. Seth Low, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, four other members of the Trustee Board: Messrs Robert C. Ogden, William G. Willcox, with Mrs. Willcox and Frank Trumbull of New York City; Chas. E. Mason of Boston, and Mrs. Mason. Among the other members of the party from the East were: Dr. and Mrs. S. G. Maule, of Philadelphia; The Rev. Clarence A. Vincent, Pastor Immanuel-Walnut Avenue Congregational church, Boston.; Mrs. Henry C. Davis, Philadelphia; Miss Katherine B. Davis, Superintendent, New York State Reformatory for Women, Bedford Hills, N. Y.; Miss Eleanor Little, Principal of the Schools, the House of Refuge, Darling, Pa.; Lawrence F. Abbott, President "The Outloo' Company, New York; Thellwell R. Coggshall, Industrial teacher, Girard, College, Philadelphia; Mrs. Robert E. Park Vice President, National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association Wollaston, Mass.; Miss Hilda Justice, of Philadelphia; Miss Emily S. Richards; Harold Peabody, Boston, Mass.; J. W. Frothingham, of Brooklyn; Mrs. Alexander Purves, daughter of Mr. Robert C. Ogden; Dr. A.G. Fraser. With the exception of four absentees all the members of the Board were present at this meeting. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who had visited the Tuskegee Institute when he was President, but has not seen it since he became a Trustee, had expected to visit the school this year, but was unable to do so. Tuskegee has eight Trustees from the Southern States—four of them white and four colored. The white trustees are Belton Gilreath, an extensive owner of coal mines in Birmingham, Ala., R. O. Simpson, a large planter of Furman, Ala., W. W. Campbell, Vice-chairman, a banker of Tuskegee, Ala., and Charles W. Hare, a lawyer and newspaper man also of the town of Tuskegee. The colored Trustees are A. J. Wilborn, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, now doing business in Tuskegee; and Victor H. Tulane, who is cashier of the Branch of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank at Montgomery, and Principal Washington and Treasurer Logan. All of these were present. At the meeting in the Chapel Thursday night, February 22nd, at which the Trustees and other guests were present, it was announced that Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, had accepted the position of Trustee in the place George Foster Peabody of New York City, who at his own request, was relieved, because of not being able to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 9 1912. TO COLORED VOTERS REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES TODAY From 3 to 7 P.M. If you desire a Republican victory vote at the Primaries today. It is the duty of every colored voter to see that proper candidates are elected as MEMBERS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY COMMITTEE. give the time necessary to th school. One of the most interesting features of the school work which the Northern guests had an opportunity of observing was a novel kind of rhetorical exercise held in the Chapel Thursday evening. Instead of the traditional essays and recitations which the announcement of rhetorical exercises had led the guests to expect, they found the stage of the Chapel fitted up with steam and electrical machinery and various kinds of apparatus used by the students in the shop, in the dairy and in the cooking department. A portion of the stage had been fitted up as a dining room and kitchen with a kesosene oil range, and in this setting a young woman demonstrated to the students and guests of the school how to set a table and how to cook and serve a meal. The whole operation had been cleverly dramatized and was carried out amidst the applause of the audience. The performance was especially admired by the men of the party. Another interesting feature of the rhetorical exercises was a demonstration of the method in which a letter written by a student is collected by the post, office department, stamped, put in the mail bags, carried to its destination and delivered. This demonstration was given by one of the students who is employed in the Government Institute Post Office. What made this demonstration all the more interesting was that after the student had described in a very interesting manner and in the greatest detail how the letter had been written, collected, canceled, distributed, put in the mail packet, carried to the train and thence to its destination at Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., the writer took the liberty of opening the letter and reading its contents. The letter was represented as announcing to the students at Clark the result of a football battle which took place at Tukegee last October and in which the score was 48 to 0 in favor of Tuskegee. The reading of this letter was greeted with wild applause by the Tuskegee students. Friday afternoon the two parties of guests—one from Chicago and the other from New York—united and went by special train to Atlanta, where they were guests at dinner, Friday night, February 23, of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. At that point the two parties seperated again, one going North to Chicago and the other North and East to New York City. The present meeting of the board was voted one of the most successful ones in the history of the Institute and it is felt by all that much good will come from these annual visits of the Trustees and other friends of the Institute to the school. LIBERIA'S FUTURE With due ceremonial, a new President—Daniel E. Howard—has been installed as the successor of Arthur Barclay in Liberia. Liberia and Abyssinia are now the only areas in Afroia not absolutely controlled by European Powers. Great Britain, France and Italy have, however, undertaken to preserve the territorial integrity of Menelik's empire, and the United States has taken a friendly interest in the recent reorganization of Liberia's finances. The scheme for an international loan of $2,000,000, agreed upon one year ago, provides that an American controller, with British, French and German subcontrollers shall administer the customs. Liberia has welcomed the arrangement, for since on July 26, 1847, the "Free and Independent Republic" was constituted, its government has been in unstable equilibrium betwixt the threatened aggrandizement of European Powers and the menace of natives—at present numbering perhaps 2,000- Continued to Fourth Page. RACE NEWS Women are turning more each year to the pursuit of agriculture. About five years ago three sisters took up 160 acres in Kern county, and under their supervision the land has been improved until now it is worth over $20,000. We are glad to learn that our women are not unmindful of the opportunity offered. Peterson, N. J., Feb. 28.—Wmy J. Greene, a colored undertaker of this place, enjoys the distinction of being the first Negro to serve on a jury in the high court of Paterson or in Passaic County. He was selected last week out of a panel of sixty to sit in the case of John J. Donohue, white, who was charged with maintaining a gambling house. The case was tried in the Court of Quarter Session. Donohue was found guilty. The Pythians are now standing at the doors of the United States Supreme Court ready to plead their cause. Within a few months now, probably less time, before the bar of that tribunal will stand the best legal talent obtainable pleading our cause. No other case before that tribunal will effect as many persons, win or lose. In either event, let not our joy or sorrow go beyond reasonable bounds. We shall always be one united fraternity, win or lose, continuing, the work of relief to the afflicted.—The Pythian Monitor. The United Loyal Neighbors of the World, the latest modern secret society, is one in which you do not have to die to win; it pays alive and is said to be the most complete protection for the home ever devised by mortal man. New camps of the order are being organized in all parts of the world. Its headquarters are located at 814 Seventh street, Louisville, Ky. Mr. B. F. Johnson has been selected as the superintendent and the following well-known fraternal men have been elected in his cabinent: Messrs. J. R. Marks, C. W. Wickliffe, and Wm. Thompson. Washington, Feb. 28.—The legal fight of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia, to prevent Negroes from using the terms "Knights of Pythias" for lodges in that state opened today before the supreme court of the United States, when briefs of arguments for the Negro association were filed. The Negroes lost in NO 26 the supreme court of Georgia. The above is the news flashed over the wires from the city of Washington. Ten million black citizens of this country are awaiting with much anxiety the outcome of this suit. It involves millions of dollars worth of property and the safety of thousands of people. Tennessee Negroes are among those specifically concerned, for only recently the supreme court of this state rendered a decision against the State Grand Lodge. Their case will doubtless be decided at the same time the Georgia case is, and in fact one case will decide that pending from the various states in the South. The supreme court of the United States now contains many men from the South and it is that fact that causes many to be apprehensive less prejudice will creep in. But no credence can be attached to this fear, as the supreme court justices are sworn to do their full duty toward every citizen of our country. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 28.—Cardinal Gibbons has issued a strong appeal for Catholic Negro and Indian Missions. The appeal is issued on behalf of the Catholic Board of Negro and Indian Missions, of which he, Cardinal Farley of New York, and Archbishop Prendergast of Philadelphia, are members. The appeal follows, in part: In making to you our appeal this year we call your attention to several important points. First, that the work of evangelizing the Negro and the Indian, owing to your past generosity, is growing; that there are now engaged in it a greater number of workers, and that more work is being accomplished. The body of secular priests and the number of religious workers among Negroes are greater than ever before. Secondly, that with the increase of the workers and the work there is necessity for means to carry on the work. Again, there are now in our midst 70,000,000 non-Catholics, of whom the Negroes and the Indians form one-sixth only. Is it possible for us to fulfil our serious, adequate obligation toward them unless we show a fuller missionary spirit and activity, a spirit and penance and sacrifice for them far greater than any we have hitherto shown? Let us not forget that a woe is upon us if we preach not the gospel to them as it should be preached. A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

His left foot torn off by the accident- al discharge of his shotgun, Henry Schwartz, thirteen years old of Marys- ville, Kan,, picked up the severed member, took the lace out of his shoe and sed it to bind up his leg to check the flow of blood. He crawled a quar- ter of a mile and got help, but died. Mike Nicovich and J. E. Gordon, miners in the Silver Peak mine at Goldfield, Nev., were killed in a tun- nel in the mine by an explosion.

It is computed that 150, 000 workers outside of the coal miners are idle, More than 1,000,000 miners in England, Scotland and Wales are out. Becuuse the coal miners had been able to gain government recognition of their grievances by threatening the business of the country, the suffra- gettes entered upon a policy of men- ace to trade in London. They carried it out suddenly and with an ardor that resulted in heavy fi. neial losses, brought consternation to merchants of the most prosperous shopping district of the city, and paralyzed business. Be- fore the police could muster their forces and restrain the women, streets were covered with shattered plate glass from the show windows of stores, In a desperate battle at Chihuahua, Mexico between the forces of Gen.

The fight last- ed three hours and while details were not obtainable, the fact that thirty-five were killed was telegraphed to Juarez by a government operator whose dis- patch was shown to a correspondent. The dispatch also contained the infor- mation that Villa drew off after the battle, leaving Orozco in command of the city. GENERAL. Five ships are lodged in the ice in Lake Michigan near Racine.

Coal Strike Situation. Denver.—The American Fuel Com- pay, controlling one-third of the out put in the northern fields, has signed the union wage scale. ‘The Rocky Mountain and the National Fuel com: panies declare they will fight to the last ditch. Possibilities of a merry coal war and a cut in prices is be- lieved imminent, Charges that the American Fuel Company received $50, 000 for signing up with the unions are emphatically denied by officers of the company. The intimation made that the American Fuel Company would receive $50,000 not to sign the agree- ment is denied by opposition coal com. panies involved. The present, settie- ment comes after a strike of two years, starting April 2, 1910. It is es timated that the strike has cost all parties concerned close to $2,000,000. Six men were killed, ten seriously in- jured and over 100 strikers or striike- breakers were waylaid and beaten since the strike was inaugurated. Of the 1,200 strikers still in the northern tlelds it 1s expected that fully 800 wil be employed within the next sixty days. “The New Frontier.” Dolores.—“The New Frontier,” the “Western slope of Colorado, bids fair to surpass in 1912 its $29,000,000 produc: tion of last year, Its prosperous stock farmers and fruit growers expect the largest profits they have ever known, Abundant snows insure plenty of wa- ter and the reservoirs are almost cer- tain to contain water to last two sea- sons, ‘The territory Includes an area of 37, 000 savare miles or an empire as large as Massachusetts, Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Vermont combined. It contains nineteen counties: Delta, Dolores, Gun- nison, Montezuma, Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Hinsdale, La Plata, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, Pitkin, Rio Blan- co, Routt, Moffat, San Juan, San Miguel and Summit. ‘Their population is but 112,192 at present. They have room for several million people. ‘There are 10,000,000 acres of gov- ernment land open to entry on the ‘Western slope, and 441,167 acres of un- sold state land. The irrigated lands assessed are 459,000 acres. Attractive improved land close to bustling towns may be bought by those who seek the advantages of civilization. Beautiful sites for farms and homes in more re- mote valleys may be bought at low prices or homesteaded. It is a ques- tion of pocketbook or fancy. As examples of production it may be said that Palisade shipped 196 cars of peaches worth $151,900; 177 cars of apples which sold for $88,500, and po- tatoes worth $254,000. Grand Junction shipped 194 cars of pears worth $97, 000; 826 of apples worth $413,000, and other products, making a total value of $516,000.

MUCH INTEREST IN WEST INDIAN DEBATE Majority of Jamaicans Side With O'Connor DeCordova in Controversv. MORE VIEWS ON SUBJECT—J. 8 WATSON CHARGES THAT THAD-DEUS L. M'DONALD MADE UN-WARRANTED ATTACK ON MR. DE CORDOVA. New York.—Many West Indian negroes now living in this county, who have been following the discussions relative to true conditions in Jamaica, are inclined to side with the views expressed on the subject by Attorney O'Connor DeCordova rather than with the impressions of Thadddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan college Baltimore. Among those to side with Mr. DeCordova is J. S. Watson, a native of Jamaica, who asserts that Mr. McDonald made a warranted attack on Mr. DeCordova. Mr. Watson says: "During the long, drawn-out West Indian discussion in the papers, I remained passive for the reason that I abhor the idea of making myself conspicuous in print, and further, because of entertaining the hope that sooner or later some disinterested party would appear who would give the American public an impartial impression of the West Indian, based on his personal observation. "When, theerfore, I read O'Connor DeCordova's article respecting the West Indies, I concluded that it would terminate the controversy; first, because Mr. DeCordova is, to use Mr. McDonald's expression, "a man of intellectual attainment, social status and an unblemished character;" secondly, because of his vast experience through many years' practice at the bar and later as high government official, which brought him in contact with all classes of West Indians; and thirdly, because he is a white man. "Thaddeus L. McDonald's unwarranted attack on Mr. DeCordova's very fair statement has now induced me to take up the issue. I wish it distinctly understood at the ouset that my purpose is not to discuss the relative merits of the West Indian and the American, for that is not the point at issue. Furthermore, it is conceded that in every country on the face of the earth there are two classes of persons; the one representing the best type of citizenship and the other the conduct of whose members reflects discredit and disgrace on the land of their birth and their fellow citizens. It would therefore be unfair to one country as to the other to select a representative West Indian negro for comparison with a low type American negro and vice versa, and then say here is a proof of their superiority. Be that as it may; let us now examine some of Mr. McDonald's criticisms: "Mr. McDonald agrees with Mr. DeCordova that negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, but declares that that gentleman has made the mistake of confounding the prosperity of the few with the welfare of the many, and then asks: 'Who are these men of whom Mr. DeCordova has spoken?' His answer is rich men, in some cases learned men; and in most cases men who do not regard themselves as negroes. "I know of no country where there is an equal distribution of its wealth among its inhabitants and where a general satisfaction prevails, except it be Moore's suggested 'Utopla'—some must be rich and others poor. Nor do I know of any land where there is an equality of mental capacity among its people—some must be learned and others illiterate. If all were commercial men there would be no customers; if all were professional men there would be no clients or patients. "While admitting that the governor bestows judicial offices and other government positions on the negroes, McDonald says that these seeming honors are only a blind to the real conditions of the negro in Jamaica, and in fact, it is a mere pretext to strengthen the disadvantages and injustices under which the black man of Jamaica is laboring. This statement refutes itself. In the ordinary run of things and according to the principles of clear logic, it seems to me that any honor or distinction conferred by higher authorities on a member or members of a particular race is a recognition and an admission of its worth which redounds to the credit of the entire race and enhances its status as a consequence thereof. "But it appears that the sole grievance of this gentleman is the question of social equality. Good society, like all other well organized associations, lays down certain conditions precedent to entering it and imposes certain reasonable rules to regulate its membership and to maintain its principles and ideals, and that, too, whether it is composed of a mixed race or of one particular race. The failure of an aspirant to comply with these requirements should not be made a ground for complaint, nor should it be deemed a good cause for airing his disappointment and chagrin. "It may be argued since these favorable conditions exist why don't they remain there and enjoy them instead of migrating to foreign lands? The answer is, the same rule prevails there as it does everywhere else. The average man is ambitious. When he is not seeking fame and fortune he is seeking knowledge and experience, and so his inquisitive nature asserting itself fills him with a desire to know the outside world of which he reads and hears and thus the West Indian, like the Italian, the German, the Frenchman, the Irishman and American, leaves his native shores and may be found not only in America, but also in all parts of the world. "Mr. McDonald would have us believe that the honors are conferred on the favored few, that is, those who bear the singular distinction of being mulattoes. The color of the assistant attorney general, the newly-appointed register of the Supreme court, and that of one of the resident magistrates, numerous justices of the peace and scores of others holding high government positions so clearly identifies them with the negro race that the broadest stretch of imagination and the most profound metaphysical reasoning would not lift them even in our minds to the happy medium—the mulattoes. To be charitable then, I must assert that the learned collegian is quite unfamiliar with the true conditions as they exist in Jamaica, and if he claims the contrary he must be charged with a wholesale departure from the truth. "His citation from Sidney Oliver's remarks in support of his contention contradicts rather than supports it. Here it is: 'The white Jamaican, whether foreign or Creole, has a prejudice which is scarcely to be differentiated from that of the American negro. But it is a prejudice operative only in so far as the colored man is individually inferior to the white man in capacity and achievement. The latter being equal, however, or regarded as equal they meet upon terms of apparent equality.' Manifestly this statement favors the negro, for it indicates that so long as he is respectable and is able to measure strides with the white man his color is not a bar to the enjoyment of the privileges and honors accorded his white brother. It follows, too, that any race, be it white or black, some of the members of which setting up a standard of good citizenship which is in harmony with reason, good morals and the notions of progressive industrial activities, may regard the other members thereof as being inferior who fail to live up to this standard, and whose views and actions are opposed to it. Mark*you, not inferior in the sense of flesh and blood, but in the essentials of representative citizenship." FOR RACE ADVANCEMENT MEMPHIS NEWS-SCIMITAR TELLS WHITES OF THE SOUTH THAT THEY MUST UNDERSTAND NEW AND NATURAL EVOLUTION OF RACE RELATIONSHIP — PAPER OPPOSES IGNORANCE AND FAVORS EDUCATION. Memphis, Tenn.—Declaring for negro education, and advising the white people of the south that they must educate themselves to an understanding of the new and natural evolution in race relationship, the Memphis News-Scimitar, one of the most influential papers in the south, has attracted more than ordinary attention by taking such a broad-minded stand. Under the caption "Negro Advancement," the News-Scimitar says: "If all the colored brethren were Booker T. Washingtons,' remarks a Chicago editor, 'the race problem would vanish." "This is doubtful. The chief grievance against the colored man seems to be his disposition to rise to a level with the white man. We are told by Dr. Tom Dixon, for example, that as an ignorant laborer the colored man is all right, but that education spoils him—makes him a monstrosity." "If this is comprehensible at all, it seems that so long as the colored man is content to be little more than a mere animal, and to do the whites' dirty work, he is acceptable; but that as a man, with a soul, and aspirations and advancement, he is intolerable. "According to this view, Booker Washington is a monstrosity and just the sort of a man who is shaking the tranquillity of the whites. But this view cannot be acceptable to the common sense of humanity. "There is an element in the south that makes noise out of all proportion to its numbers, which seeks to hold the negro, through his ignorance, in voluntary and perpetual slavery. Education and industrial skill threaten to emancipate him. Hence the tears. "It would be more true to say that if all whites had the broad mind and high spirit of Booker Washington, there would be no race question to settle. There would be hearty co-operation for the advancement of both whites and negroes. "The whole problem has grown out of the fact that while the colored leaders have made great progress toward a solution of the question growing out of race rivalry, the whites have entrenched themselves in negro hate and stood still. "The white people of the south need to educate themselves to an understanding of the new and natural evolution of race relationship." MAYBE SO.

LURED FROM RICHMOND, TRAVEL HUNDREDS OF MILES TO BELLEFONTE, PA., IN QUEST OF WORK WHICH DID NOT MATERIALIZE. Williamsport, Pa.—Negroes in the south who contemplate coming north to work would show judgment by thoroughly investigating the standing of the various employment agencies which advertise and promise to secure employment for southern negroes in the northern states. The overseers of the poor in this city had an experience last week with two colored womed who had been victimized by a fake employment bureau, and the published fact should be a warning to all who plan to leave the south and make their home in the north. The case which attracted so much attention in Williamsport last week was that of two women, one of whom had a small baby, who had been fooled from their homes in Richmond, Va., to Bellefonte, Pa., by an employment bureau. Upon arriving at Bellefonte, the women found that they had been deceived by the employment bureau and that there was no work for them. Not a person in Bellefonte knew of their coming. Being in destitute circumstances and without a cent to secure railroad fare to return to Richmond, they were compelled to appeal to the city officials of Bellefonte, who directed them to Williamsport for assistance. The unfortunates arrived in Williamsport with the thermometer, at 20 below zero, and they presented a pitiful picture. The officials of this city informed the charity applicants that it was impossible to send them to Richmond, but that transportation to the adjoining county would be furnished, and that the officials in the next county would send them to the next, and so on until they would finally reach Richmond. To make the trip from Bellefonte, Pa., to Richmond, Va., in relays proved a hardship to the female victims of the unscrupulous employment bureau people, and upon reaching Richmond they were much impaired both mentally and physically. LOUISIANA'S POPULATION LATE CENSUS SHOWS THAT THERE ARE IN STATE 941,125 WHITES TO 713,874 NEGROES—NEW ORLEANS HAS 249,435 WHITES AND 89,262 NEGROES. Washington, D. C.—A preliminary statement of the white and negro population of Louisiana, by parishes and principal cities, as shown by the returns of the thirteenth decennial census, taken as of April 15, 1910, has been issued by Director Durand of the bureau of census, department of commerce and labor. The total population of Louisiana in 1910 was subdivided as to color as follows: White, 941,125; negro, 713,874; all other persons (Indians and Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatics), 1,389. The equivalent figures for 1900 were: White, 729,126; negro, 650,804; all other, 1,209. For 1890 they were: White, 558,395; negro, 559,193; all other, 1,000. The negro population constituted 43.1 per cent. of the total population of the state in 1910, as against 47.1 per cent. in 1900 and 50 per cent. in 1890. The rate increase in the negro population since 1900 was less than that for the preceding decade, the increase from 1900 to 1901 being 36,070 or 9.7 per cent., as compared with 91,611 or 16.4 per cent., from 1890 to 1900. The white population increased from 1900 to 1910 at a somewhat lower rate than from 1890 to 1900, the increase being respectively 211,513, or 29 per cent., as against 171,217, or 30.7 per cent. New Orleans city had a population in 1910 of 339,075, comprising 249,435 whites. 89,262 negroes and 378 other persons (Indians and Chinese, Japanese and Asiatics). The equivalent figures for 1900 were: White, 208,946; negro, 77,174; all others, 444. For 1890 they were: White, 177,376; negro, 64,491; all other, 172. JEFFRIES WANTS TO FIGHT AGAIN FRIEND DECLARES HE IS PREPARING TO MEET JOHNSON ONCE MORE. New York.—A dispatch received from Los Angeles, Cal., states that a friend of Jim Jeffries gives the information the retired pugilist is preparing to reenter the ring and will challenge Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship. Jeffries is said to have told his friends he is in better condition than for a long time and that he attributed his defeat by Johnson largely to his method of training for the fight on July 4. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON INVITES PERSONS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD TO MEET AT TUSKEGEE IN APRIL, 1912, AND DISCUSS THE WORK GOING ON FOR EDUCATION AND UPBUILDING OF NEGRO PEOPLE. Tuskegee, Ala.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee institute, has issued a statement that an International Conference on the Negro will be held at Tuskegee institute April 17, 18 and 19, 1912. For some years past I have had in mind to invite here from different parts of the world—from Europe, Africa, the West Indies and North and South America—persons who are actively interested, or directly engaged as missionaries or otherwise, in the work that is going on in Africa and elsewhere for the education and upbuilding of negro peoples. For this purpose it has been determined to hold at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 17, 18 and 19, 1912, a little more than a year from this time, an International Conference on the Negro. Such a conference as this will offer the opportunity for those engaged in any kind of service in Africa, or the countries above mentioned, to become more intimately acquainted with the work and the problems of Africa and these other countries. Such a meeting will be valuable and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunity for a general interchange of ideas of organizing and systematizing the work of education of the native people in Africa and elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wider knowledge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now exist. The object of calling this conference at Tuskegee institute is to afford an opportunity for studying the methods employed in helping the negro people of the United States, with a view of deciding to what extent Tuskegee and Hampton methods may be applied to conditions in these countries, as well as to conditions in Africa. It is hoped that numbers of people representing the different governments interested in Africa and the West Indies, as well as representatives from the United States and the countries of South America, will decide to attend this conference. Especially is it urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an active part in the deliberations of the conference. It is desirable, in any case, to have any suggestions as to what might be done to make the work of the conference more helpful to all concerned. The names of persons who would like to be present, with whom you are acquainted, will be appreciated, and through you they are invited to be present and take part in the deliberations of the conference. Those who come to Tuskegee properly accredited will be welcomed and entertained as guests of the institution and will be under no expense during their stay here. Principal Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. ONLY FOUR NEGRO OFFICIAL INTERPRETERS OF FOOTBALL RULES Washington, D. C.—After a period of two years of consideration, the central board of officials of the football rules committee of the United States has appointed four colored men on the list of qualified officials whose names will appear in the limited list published in the Football Annual. Garnet C. Wilkinson, teacher at the M street high school, is perhaps the best known colored official in these parts. As coach of the M street high school team he has developed many stars who have made careers on the gridirons of the larger colleges after leaving this school. Morton P. Robinson has taught and coached football and other branches of athletics at several colleges and high schools. A. Kiger Savoy, a teacher in the Washington public schools, has served capably on the gridiron. Erwin B. Henderson, physical director of the colored high schools of Washington, received his training at the Harvard summer school of physical training where football theory and practice is a strong course and where the leading football experts of the country often gather. These four gentlemen are the only men of the race in the country whose work has entitled them to the distinction noted. There are some coaches and players who are fitted for official work, but have not yet met all of the requirements for official recognition. The central board on football officials, who passed on the qualifications of Messrs. Wilkinson, Henderson, Savoy and Robinson, is made up of L. M. Dennis of Cornell university, Walter Camp of Yale university, Parke Davis of Princeton university, Cranford Blagdon and Chairman James A. Babbitt of Haverford college.

The seriousness, amounting almost to desperation, with which public matters and conditions are discussed and the calmly pictured as pending in the event of possible occurrences, are enough to make a stranger wonder if an insurrection of some character is brewing in the state. The editorial columns of all of our big dailies, of all political faiths, are burdened with hysterical appeals to either unreasoning partisanship or an inflamed class prejudice. Passionate dissertations on the limitations of the federal constitution or the threatened drift of the nation from its moorings in the effulgent but bewildering light of Colorado's lead, give their pages a hue that would be called saffron if the arguments were not so mournful. Each morning's dose of dismal warnings and tragic denunciations of persons, propositions or things, is enough to take the hair off the heads of the natives and make other folks laugh at their baldness. These big editors and their big newspapers are too blamed serious. They ought to give Colorado folk more pungent wit, more pointed ridicule and not so much wild-eyed alarm. Colorado is too young to be so sad, and to take upon itself the serious duty of instructing the nation in the science of government. It may be that our growth makes us a prey of cranks and theorists, whose control or suppression is a real serious problem, but we might better make a circus of them than to stuff the people so full of ideas of their serious importance. A daily reader of the editorial pages of the Denver newspapers is apt to give a good but sensitive citizen a fighting fanatic face, when he ought to look like a mountain daisy. There are lots of humorists in Colorado and it would be a good thing for us all if a liberal share of them would break into journalism and crowd out the grouch grinders and the serious old men who carry the burdens of all the country around on their drooping shoulders. DEVELOPING THE NEGRO BOY are pampered too much by indulge professor of the University of Colorado conclusions. Crying as well as laug exercise in the development of y American boys are pampered too much by indulgent parents, once declared a learned professor of the University of Colorado, in a lecture full of logic and striking conclusions. Crying as well as laughing is a necessary and valuable form of exercise in the development of youthful faculties, and parents make a mistake in seeking to have their children spared the one or avoid the other to the fullest natural extent. Punishment for youthful errors and the sting of healthful hardship are beneficial to boys who are later to assume the labors and responsibilities of the world, and the desire of fathers to save their boys from the rough experiences through which they themselves have passed is often the excuse for pampering which injures and unfits the youngster for the things he should do. This lesson has a special application to the colored boy, which is very little recognized. In spite of the generally crude domestic surroundings of the average Negro family, where the problem of daily sustenance allows little room for consideration of the finer development of the child, there is nevertheless the lurking memories of the master-driven lives of our forefathers, and the natural but spasmodic sternness of the parent in the endeavor to direct the upbringing of the child, is often tempered with over-indulgence or utterly spoiled with long periods of leniency or slothful neglect. No American child can have a harder to hoe than that which falls to the lot of the average Negro boy, but he gets very little instruction or parental preparation at home of the kind needed to properly meet his coming trials. The fact that his conditions are to be hard makes it the more necessary that the Negro boy should be made brave and hardy, but often he is not so. He is apt not to average up well in contact or in youthful conflict with the white boy. While every idea of the natural necessity of race conflict should be avoided carefully and consistently, Negro boys have no more excuse for cowardly conduct under any circumstance than white boys have. The writer recently saw three white boys, 8 to 10 years of age, meet on the street a colored boy as big as the largest white boy, and when the crowd of little white rough and readies made a show of chasing the colored boy, the latter took to the street yelling "mama" at the top of his voice. The three toughs were satisfied with the yelp of their frightened "inferior," and went their way busily discussing more important things. The colored youngster was a pampered coward. He was in no danger, but he screamed and ran at the first evidence of hostility. There are too many like him. It is a big mistake to raise colored boys in this way. They have not had enough lickings at home to make them indifferent to the dangers of the street. Their tear wells are full to overflowing because their mothers have made soft-hearted darlings of them. They are not as rough and ready as boys should be, and with the home codling and indulgence of after years, they neglect passing opportunities, get false ideas of life and its conditions and fail to do what they should do for the rugged development of a race that must fight to win.

What may be called "civilized," Liberia is but a strip of land along the sea front not more than 20 miles in width, inhabited by some 15,000 civilized American Liberians, Negroes, with the status of British citizens, and Europeans of diverse nationality. The appointment of an American controller in chief authority over the customs encourages the Liberians to believe that the United States will guarantee the territorial integrity of their country just as England, France and Italy are on guard to prevent encroachment in Abyssinia. They would like nothing better than to have an American protectorate established at Monrovia, their capital. But through the plantation on the African coast was of American origin and inspiration, the intension of the promoters being to provide a colony for American freedmen, the United States will go on further than the present agreement to reorganize the finances, the national defenses and the agricultural system, and determine the proper boundry. Otherwise, the Liberians will be left free to work out their own political destinies and to improve their rich and hitherto almost untouched natural resources.—Editorial: Philadelphia Public Ledger.

It was during this employment and his residence in El Paso, Texas, that he received injuries which terminated his service with the company and hastened his return with his family to Colorado. He found employment in the State Capitol and remained there up to the time of his death, which occurred Monday morning, March 4th. Apparently in the best of health, he was preparing to leave for the day's work when he fell to the floor and expired with a struggle. Mr. Johnson was a Mason and a member of the Sunset Lodge in El Paso, Texas. A member of Shorter's Church for fifteen years, belonging to Class No. 5. He was a politician, orator, and a deep student of the Bible; a born worker and a leader of men. No movement for betterment of conditions found him in the rear. He was by nature brave and tender. In every storm of life he was oak and rock, but in sunshine he was vine and flower. The political gatherings, where he figured so many years, will miss "B. P.," as he was familiarly called, but it will be slight in comparison to that number of intimate friends who knew him best in his home life. It was there that the real man lived his best. Devoted husband, loving father, the kind and sympathetic friend, were every one to whom he did some loving service to bring a blossom to his grave he would sleep beneath a sweet wilderness of flowers. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word; no response to our expressions of grief, but in the night of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear and can wait. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the family residence, 2662 Williams street. Rev. A. M. Ward officiating. Douglas Undertaking Co. in charge.

D., priest in charge. Since the advent of the new priest, Father Brown, the church has taken on a new leave of life. Every department of church work has been resuscitated and new agencies have been set to work. The Women's Guild with Mrs. Virginia Webb as president, Mrs. Iona Hickman, secretary, and Mrs. Laura Finley as treasurer, has received fresh inspiration for good service. So has the Altar Guild of St. Mary the Virgin under the presidency of Miss Geraldine Troutman and her associates, Miss Senora Finlay, secretary, and Miss Grace Burns, treasurer. The Sunday school, under the management of the priest as ex officio superintendent and his co-workers, Mrs. L. Allison, Misses Geraldine Troutman, Bittina Morgan and Irene Walker, has renewed its efforts in caring for the "lambs of the flock." The Brotherhood of the Church of the Redeemer was fully organized on Sunday evening last. It promises to fill a long felt need in the life of the church. Mr. Morgan Jackson is its efficient secretary and treasurer and Mr. Jos. Montier, president, with Mr. Vernon Scott as vice president. The brotherhood is open to well wishers and friends of the church, who on recommendation may become associate members. The Lenten services Sunday and week-days are being well attended, and marked interest is being manifested by members and friends, much to the satisfaction of the priest. Special preachers are with us every Sunday evening, and twice during the week at the Lenten season. On Friday evenings, when there is no special preacher, the priest, Father Brown, delivers a course of lectures on "The Book of Common Prayer." The Easter confirmation class is being prepared and promises to be a very large one. A class of adults will receive the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. --- Mrs. John Watkins is suffering with la grippe. Mrs. Georgia A. Tabb is confined with pleurisy. D. B.

Mr. William Coleman and Mrs. Jennie Thompson went to Cheyenne last Saturday, where they were quietly married. Mrs. E. L. Gaines, who has been visiting in Denver several months, left Monday night for her home in Pasadena, Cal., much improved in health. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Settles were at home to a few friends last Tuesday evening, the occasion being their sixth wedding anniversary. The funeral of R. W. Burnett will be held tomorrow at 1 o'clock from the People's Presbyterian church. Doug lass Undertaking Co. will be in charge. Sandy Grant arrived in the city recently from Chicago. Mr. Grant is a former Denver boy and has many friends here who are glad to welcome his return. Rev. Fisher of Chicago is among our noted visitors. Doctor Fisher is one of the leading lights of the American Baptist, and is here to conduct a series of meetings at Central Baptist church. James Brown of 229 West Eleventh avenue received the sad news a few days ago of the death of his sister, who died in Austin, Texas, and of his father falling from a building and seriously injuring himself.

Keating, president of the Western University, Quindaro, Kan., delivered a splendid lecture on Monday night to a crowded house at Shorter's A. M. E. church. His subject was "How Much Should a Man Weigh." The Professor is a fluent speaker and well mastered the subject. Those who failed to hear him have much to regret. QUEEN CITY CHORUS.

In 1887 he came to Colorado, which has been his home with the exception of four years which was spent in Texas. In the year of 1899 he was married to Miss Ellender Joseph, the eldest of the Joseph sisters, famous for their virtuous and intellectual qualities.

MANY WAYS OF SERVING RICE All Good, and Will Be Welcomed as a Pleasant Change From Generally Accepted Method. Mold cold boiled rice by pressing it into a shallow pan, and when the mold has been turned out, cut out the center to form a ring. Fill the center with well-sweetened stewed peaches or any good canned fruit from which the juice has been drained away. For a variation of Bordeaux pudding, which the children will relish, bake thin layers as if for strawberry short cake. Spread jam between each two layers and cover the top with whipped cream, which may be slightly tinted with the jelly. This, too, will be a novelty in many home kitchens, and is extremely wholesome as well as good. Wash thoroughly half a pound of prunes, soak over night if possible, and then stew gently in well-sugared water until tender. Train the water in which they were cooked, add juice of a lemon, and a tablespoonful of gelatin dissolved as usual, and measure it last of all. Use only a pint of the juice, put the prunes after the pits have been removed into a mold, add half a cup or so of almonds, blanched, of course. Serve very cold with cream, whipped or plain, after the jelly has set and has been chilled. Instead of candy serve stuffed fruits made by passing through the chopper some dates, figs and walnuts or pecans, using a knife sufficiently fine to make a nice paste. Use these to fill dates, figs, bottled prunes, or large raisins, all carefully pitted. The same mixture instead of serving as a forcemeat can be molded into a shallow candy pan, cut into squares like caramels, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served as bon-bons GATHERED WISDOM OF YEARS Attention to These Seemingly Small Things Will Do Much to Lighten Household Labor. If you would have light dumplings leave the cover off for about ten minutes after you have put them in. A few capers chopped fine and scattered over the egg salad contributes rest to a salad that is otherwise apt to be insipid. Gingerbread is made doubly good by the addition of a few spoonfuls of grated chocolate before baking. This makes it richer and does not affect the flavor. Cheese salad dressing for green salads requires about two tablespoonfuls of soft American cheese rubbed smooth with salt, paprika and a tablespoonful or two of vinegar. Then add sufficient oil to make thin enough to use. When beets are left from dinner wash them and rinse in boiling water to free them from butter or sauce and drop into a weak vinegar. In this condition they may be kept for a long time and may be used as needed for salads and garnishing. One housekeeper has prevented many a burned roast or overbaked cake by setting the alarm clock to the proper time to open the oven door. Then she goes about her work in other parts of the house, knowing that she will hear the imperative call at the right time. Cauliflower salad is improved by the addition of stuffed olives and a Spanish red pepper or two, both chopped fine. Care of Floors. One housekeeper has declared that hardwood floors require as much care as a baby. Although we doubt the statement, it is a well-known fact that if floors are not properly cared for they soon lose their beauty. Attention should be given them systematically; every day they should be brushed over with a broom covered with a flannel cloth made into a bag, with a drawstring in the top. Once a week at least, twice if you can, the floors should be oiled, using linseed oil and applying it with a cheesecloth rag to prevent lint from spreading. Deeply stained or varnished floors should be wiped lightly and frequently with a solution of milk and water. Polish with a dry cloth. Creamed Fish Flake any cold cooked fish up fine; it makes no difference if it has been boiled, baked or fried, so long as it can be pulled into fine pieces. Make a cup of white sauce by cooking together a tablespoonful each of flour and butter until they bubble, pouring upon them a cup of milk and stirring until all are smoothly blended and thick. Put the fish with this, season to taste with pepper and salt, turn into small nappies or into one large bake dish, sprinkle crumbs over the top, dot with bits of butter, bake covered for ten minutes, uncover and brown. Pass sliced lemon with this. Dustless Dusting The process of dusting may be rendered practically dustless if the dust cloths are occasionally washed in hot suds, dipped in kerosene and then dried thoroughly in the open air. The duster or dry mop, treated in this manner, greatly improves the appearance of hardwood floors.-Designer. Learn the Recipe Whenever you prepare an article of food learn the recipe.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A mavement 1s on foot, backed up by some of the most prominent men of the race, to aid the 61,131 deposit- ors of the Freedmen’s bank to get back their money, with the earnings of many years. The amount which the government bank owes the depos- ftors is $1,291,744.60, In addition about $300,000 18 due the old colored saflors and soldiers, which amount if secured will go toward the erection of a permanent home for them. ‘The matter is to come up before the pres- ent congress and much pressure is be- ing brought to bear to get the bills through. Senator Roberts of Massa- chusetts will present the bills asking the Freedmen's depositors be given their money, and the $300,000 due the old sailors and soldiers be returned. Among the senators who are taking personal Interest in the matter is Sen: ator J. J. Fitzpatrick, chairman of the committee on appropriations. Among the influential members of the race who are interested in the movement are Rey. Dr. 8, L, Corruth- ers of Washington, D. C.; Hon. J. C. Napler, Register of the treasury; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Bishop ‘Alexander Walters, Rev. James White and many others. The prevailing opin- fon in the country is that the money wrested from the hands of the poor depositors be refunded, Just what dis- position congress will take of the mat- ter is being watched with great inter- est.—Exchange. There ought to be more business establishments in Memphis oper- ated by our people. But, you say, there are too many now. No, you will not patronize them is the rea- son they are not @ success. Throw your trade to them and let them widen out their places of business and all will be able to employ our boys and girls as they come out of school, We don't mean by this that your boy and girl must not seek any kind of work to do when they come out of school, but in case there be enough business places of your own we will be able to employ a number of them. So learn to support your own enter- prises and institutions of all kinds and also your professional men. Stop saying you would not allow a negro doctor in your house, or that a negro lawyer cannot at- tend to your case in court, or that you will not trade with So-and-So, because he will not do this or that like white folks. Stop wanting something for nothing from your own business men. Stop all this stiffness and big-headedness and build each other up. ‘The white people love to see you have race pride; that 1s, the better class of white people and will credit you with having common sense.—Memphis News. The New York Times claims that the friends of the negroes are doing them a disservice when they bring ac- tions in the courts to compel theater managers to sell them tickets to any part oftheir theaters. It avers that the white patrons would cease to patronize the theaters on account of their prejudice against negroes, Have the whites of New York ceased to patronize tho street cars and the rail- roads? Do they cease from attending the public Itbrary, the parks, ete., be- cause negroes are admitted to them? The editor of the Times passes for a brainy man and yet 1s guilty of per- petrating such rot. The fact is that the great body of white people in this country care nothing for these mat- ters, It {s only a few who dread the comparison between themselves and negroes. They seem to think that thelr alleged superiority 1s In danger of being questioned and hence they seek to remove the competition against them by having the negroes removed from their just position. If race prejujdice were left alone tt would die of the lack of proper nu- trition, It feeds upon such carrion — Piedmont Advocate. The viewpoint is everything. If you don’t think straight you can’t see straight. The Chicago Defender says: “The United States government gaye last year $1,430,000 to Indian educa. tion and $100,000 to negro education. Comment unnecessary.” But com- ment is necessary, The Indian owned the country before the white man, and the white man robbed him of it; it ts as Uttle as it could do, then, to make him some payment in the education of his remnants. Again: the Indian 4s very generally regarded and treat- ed as a ward of the nation, with no inheritance in citizenship. On the other hand, the negro is a free citizen of the nation, and no ward, and has an undisputed Inheritance in citizen- ship. The Indian ts dependent; the negro {8 independent—New York Age. ‘The squirrel {s not the only animal which prepares for the future. The wolf, the fox, the lynx, the wild and domestic dog, bury portions of food 4m the ground against the next calls of hunger; the owls, ravens and other birds hide food for future use, and the spider, the ant and tho bees are diligent In preparing for coming con- tingencies.—Christian Index. A Chinaman prefers the Chinese newspaper, the Irishman the Irish newspaper; the German, Dago, Anglo- Saxon, Greek—in fact, every human being prefers the literature made by his own people except the American negro. He prefers the newspapers printed by white men. Of course there are exceptions to this rule. In the matter of developing the colored man along lines of race love, scarce- ly a beginning has been made. We can see the baneful effects of the disloyalty of the colored man on every hand and wherever we turn, In this city there are hundreds of dry’ goods stores owned by whites, while only one is owned by a colored com- pany, There are only 75,000 whites to support hundreds of stores, and 18,- 000 colored people to support one store. If they had sense enough to do this, soon this store would cover a clty square and employ hundreds of their young men and women; but they are too ignorant to patronize their own concern. What 1s true of the dry goods store is true of every other line except in the case of the under- takers and physicians, and it has been proven that white people as a rule do not care to mix up with the darkey In death or sickness. ‘The Dallas Express does not call at- tention to these things out of preju- dice to the white people, but to en- lighten the colored man on the great doctrine of self-help, without the prac- tice of which no race can rise to re- spectable consideration. Our schools, academies and col- leges are filled to overflowing with bright young men and women who must find respectable and paying em- ployment. They have a right to ex- pect this from their own race. The fathers of the present generation of ‘negroes were for the most part born free, at any rate they Know nothing of slavery. They are American citi- zens. They must not only accept lib- erty, but its responsibilities as well. One of these responsibilities is the care of the family and encouragement of the rising youth. The practice of the doctrine of self- help is the lever which must lift the lump. Let us begin today; tomorrow may be too late.—Dallas Express. The natives of the west coast of Africa are to have a supply of high hats and paper collars. What they want with either {s not apparent at this remove from “Africa's golden sands.” A New York steamer has just gone to the west coast loaded with things the natives fancy. “High hats and paper collars are affected ‘a Liberian circles,” the news {tem says, and “the natlyes prefer things to the mere token of the value of things. Money does not mean much to them. ‘They prefer barter.” Perhaps it 1s so, but Judge Stewart did not look it nor tell us so When he was recently in New York. We are sure, however, the west coast natives will outgrow the weakness for high hats and paper collars, {f they have it. First the child, then the youth, then the man, and {t takes time, sometimes a thou- sand years. Children like to parade in the clothes of old folks, and old folks often dress in the styles and colors of young people. So with races. Japan is in the transformation stage from Oriental to European manners. So, we once saw a tall Japanese in Yokahoma who had on a big colored gown, like a bathrobe, belted with a cord, flapping open in front, with a derby hat on his head and American shoes on his feet. That was ten years ago. We suppose, now, he ts wearing a full dress suit three times a day. A west coast African native with a high hat and collar on, and nothing else, Is a hopeful improvement upon the naked native-—New York Age. The negro fraternal organizations, in this state especially, have been taught a most forceful lesson, in the fact that they can't very successfully conduct mercantile business in con- nection with Insurance business. In order to make a success of such establishments there must be a great deal of money invested and people must be secured, who understand the kind of business it 1s intended to con- duct in every essential detail Of course most of these concerns are run upon the co-operative plan and the people who take stock are always selfish about who should con- duct the business and in consequence sentiment controls the affairs instead of cold business, and we can never hope to make any business succeed unless {t {s run upon the most strict business basis.—Newport (Va.) News Star. ‘The steady growth of negro newspa- pers in the various sections of the country and the interest they take In the local affairs of the people, always of a helpful character, with only inct- dental interest in “national affairs,” has been very remarkable during the past ten years. The home, the charch, the school and business interests have taken the place, almost entirely, of the editorial opinion of the negro newspa- per to the exclusion of political and personal discussion. That is to say, our editors are beginning to “cast down their buckets where they are” for the waters of life. OREGON SENATOR FAVORS GENE-, ROSITY TOWARD CAPITAL. Likes Plang of L’Enfant, and Would Have Government Acquire Land South of the Avenuevand Raze Old Buildings, Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon 1s strongly In favor of the development of cm Washington along AE TS% the lines laid Le down by the park eee ey commission, and BAY particularly in re- a 4 Hei il gard to the kind ‘ PY2%3 of memorial which “wise See 1s to be erected camel pee here to Abraham 3 “4 Lincoln. He said “7h in an interview: “a ee plan of L’Enfant had been carried out the south of Pennsylvania avenue would now be owned and controlled absolutely and entirely by the govern- ment of the United States, with pubiic buildings designed and erected in ac- cordance with a systematic plan, mak- ing a consistent and beautiful whole. I hope that congress will not be nig- gardly in the matter of condemning and acquiring for the United States the properties on the south side of the avenue and placing them and the Mall in a condition so that improve- ments may be made from time to time as have been recommended and as were laid down and marked out by L’Enfant in his original design. “I do not believe that it was the commercial spirit of the times that marred the plan of L’Enfant for the laying out of the capital. Washington was not looked upon as the site of a great commercial city, and never has been looked upon as such. Its growth, which has been phenomenal in recent years, could not have been foreseen or prophesied by the wisest statesmen in the days gone by. I believe that changes in this plan have been due to the fact that people of the clty and of the whole country could not ap- preciate the importance of the neces- sity of beautifying the capital and making {t what the capitals of the South American repablics are, attrac: tive in every sense of the world from an architectural and artistle stand- point. “I want to urge as strongly as I can that the plan which has been pro- posed by the McMillan park commis- sion be carried out in one most im- portant particular, and there ought to be constructed on the area westerly from Washington monument and in Hine with {t opposite to the national capitol, on the Potomac, a memorial to Abraham Lincoln. “A memorial to Lincoln ought to be erected here in Washington, where pil- grimages are constantly and in in- creasing numbers being made by the patriotic men, women and children of the whole country. A memorial to him should be permanent, imposing, | different in design, purpose and in- tent from any other that adorns the city, and it should be so located as to be easily accessible to all our coun- trymen who have learned to revere his memory and to love him for the tenderness of his heart as well as for the great sarvices he rendered bis country Jn {ts darkest hour of trial. “Some one has recently stated in a communication fn one of the evening papers here that the United States is better at republic building than the ‘South American republics, but he found out from actual observation and from being on the ground that they excel us in city and capital building, citing as particular instances of the magnificance of the South American capitals those at Rio Janeiro and Buenos Aires. If congress does what these republics have done and will appropriate a suffictent sum to acquire title to all properties on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue and else- where necessary to carry out the de- sign of the commission, tear down the old buildings thereon and proceed as necessities require the construction of public and other structures upon a consistent and artistic plan, the time is not far distant when we will prove ‘to the world that we can when we try to do so, with our wealth, with our ability and with our distinguished architects, excel in capital building as | well as in republic building.” Setting One's Heart on a Purpose. A man should concelve of a legtl mate purpose In his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centrafizing point of his thoughts, It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or tt may be a worldly object, according to his na- ture at the time being; but which- ever {t 1s, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its at- tainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings and imaginings.—James Al- len.

No train of thought is too deep, or subtle, oF grand; but the manner of presenting it should be pe- cullar.

FRENCHMEN THOUGHT IT JOKE Ambassador Jusserand’s Request for an Outdoor Sleeping Porch Not Taken Serionsly at Home. ‘The French government has obtain- ed @ permit, blueprints and full spect- fications for a fine new embassy build- ing here in Washington. As French archiiecis rank among the best in the world, the building will probably ba an attractive structure, with hard- wood floors, modern plumbing, glass doorknobs and decorated to sult, But J. J. Jusserand, the French am- bassador, isn’t certain whether the place is going to be anything much or not. In some respects the houses that are shown in the daily papers suit him much better, and he has made bold to tell the French government 50. Inasmuch as Jusserand ts going to es in the place, his government as- sumed, quite logically, that he and his wife would have some little curiosity to see the plans and note the loca- tons of closets and bathrooms. So they sent him blueprints showing the front, side and rear elevations and the interior arrangements. Jusserand promptly wrote back to his government saying he wished, while they were about it, that they would build a house with a few of the more modern conveniences. For ex- ample, he pointed out no American thinks of building a house nowadays without an outdoor sleeping porch and also a cute little screened porch where they could serve afternoon tea. Jusserand’s letter caused much con- sternation in his native land. The French officials couldn't figure out why a few years’ residence in Amer- ica should give a high born citizen so many barbarous notions about archi- tecture. After several weeks they an- swered his sleeping porch communica- tion and told him they enjoyed his lit- tle joke. “Of course, you cannot be serious,” they said, “in wishing to sleep public- ly, The outdoor porch might be very nice for an American hunting cabin with its picturesque log finish, but for an embassy building located in the heart of a city, any arrangement for one to sleep out on the porch would no doubt excite much funny comment. Furthermore, we do not know of any recognized school of architecture that provides for a spectal porch to sleep on.” Jussefand threw up his hands with a despairing gesture on receipt of the letter, asked for one more window in the front bedroom, and let it go at that, SEEKS “AT COST” STORES Bill Introduced for the Establishment of a Chain of Stores for Federal Employes. Government-owned department Stores in Washington to sell staple commodities at cost to Uncle Sam's army of employes! That {s the latest reform that Rep. resentative Berger of Wisconsin, the Socialist member of the house, has un- dertaken to accomplish. He intro- duced a bill the other day appropri- ating $1,000,000 for the establishment of a chain of stores to be organized and operated along the lines of the commissary stores in the canal strip on the Isthmus of Panama. ‘The Berger measure asks that the secretary of the interior, at the ear. lest practicable time, establish in the city of Washington, at suitable places, stores for the sale, at cost price, of staple commodities to all employes of the federal government. A clause in Berger's bill provides for the extensfon of facilities already at hand until such time as the chain of stores is completed. This clause reads: < “That the privilege of purchasing, at cost price, commodities from the de- partment stores at Washington bar racks, D. C., and at navy yard station, D. C., now restricted to officers and enlisted men of the army and navy, be fnd the same is hereby extended to all employes of the federal govern- ment.” Piaen ite Malishiee 6 peabaass Ware te Making or appointments and federal patronage has been the bane of President Taft’s executive life, it is one thing in which he has equaled the judgment of McKinley, especially in filling the important posts.

Lansekt. Madecttue Tice. A sassafras tree is the principal in Atlanta, Georgia's, new bid for fame The largest sassafras tree in the world, says the department of agricul- ture.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP What Society Wears at the Capital WASHINGTON.—The first of the season's evening receptions by the President and Mrs. Taft brought to the White House a company that surpassed in the manner of appointment and attire anything ever before seen in Washington, even at a diplomatic reception As usual on this occasion the jewels and gowns of the feminine visitors were in keeping with the court uniforms and decoration of the envoys. Mme. Bakhmeteff's sapphires and diamonds, the Countess von Bernstorf's diamond tiara and necklace, with Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh's ropes of pearls, are never seen to such splendid advantage as when in contrast with the gold embroidered and beribboned gentlemen of the corps diplomatique. The plainest person at the White House function is usually the president himself. Mrs. Taft is maintaining her reputation as the best dressed mistress the White House has known since the days of Dolly Madison, dress, like manners, followed a prescribed form which the wife of the degree with all de vivid colors whir of 1912. Two or more sit distinctly establish smart circles. To broaches, velvets rather severe line skirts and much which bear the Worth, are leader equally well favorous chiffons, the tuil gauze with compery, or over dra satin and the new is, however, disti fabric, seen at its toilette or at s luncheon parties. Rhinoceros Tail Is Latest Gift to Bride THE tall of a rhinoceros for a wedding present! That was the extraordinary gift received by Miss Mary Carlisle, leader of the younger social set, from Col. Theodore Roosevelt, mighty hunter of Oyster Bay. The arrival at the Carlisle home on I street of a strange looking package from the Roosevelt village was not told until the other day, although the gift was received several weeks ago, at the time of the wedding of Miss Carlisle to Walter Howe, a young lawyer of this city. Miss Carlisle opened the package herself, feeling that the greatest prize of her record-breaking collection of wedding gifts was about to be revealed. A little scream of fright drew the members of the family and servants as a black, peculiar object resembling a snake rolled out on the floor. "What on earth can it be?" the household asked. "It must have crept into the package in the express office!" suggested some one. Then gradually the truth dawned. It was no mistake. It was the gift of the great hunter—the "brush of the rhino"—the prize won in the greatest of jungle battles. The rhinoceros tail, despite its evil No.1 MUCHO FINO No.2 UNCLE SAM has in his army some thousands of little brown men of the mid-Pacific, who approximate all grades of civilization and a lack of it and who are well typified by the accompanying illustration, which shows the Philippine soldier in the course of being transformed. A year before this picture was taken these men were wild in the woods, with nothing but a breechclout in the way of clothing. They have advanced to a stage where they take great pride in their caps and coats, but still refuse to adopt the trousers and shoes. A year later, however, they will be found as fully equipped as is their captain, shown in the foreground. The Philippine constabulary, of which these men are a part, is now a little more than 5,000 strong, including officers and men. To be exact How a Congressman Became an Indian IN the office of Representative Steenerson of Minnesota hangs a pipe of peace and hatchet—once buried—that are mementoes of the time Steenerson was adopted by the Chippewa Indians. Steenerson was a grown man at the time of the adoption. He had never become a regular Indian. He had done several favors for the Chippewas and they made him a member of the tribe, just as a college might bestow an LL. D. When it came to the actual conferring of the tribal title there were war dances, smoking of the pipe of peace, burying the hatchet, and much more merry doings that made Steenerson think what a fine thing it would be if the Elks and the Knights Templars could arrange to hold a joint grand lodge meeting. Jolly as it all was, the Indians were as solemn as if they had just spent several months previous standing in front of cigar stores. Toward the close of the exercises the chief walked toward Steenerson and proceeded to invest him with a wampum beit, or surcingle, that fourth president understood as completely as does her present day successor. The majority of gowns that made the historic East Room gay with color ranged from the rose pink tones for which Miss Helen Taft shows so plain a preference, through several new blues, the orchid tints in pink and mauve, and several brilliant green and violet tints. There were white dresses, and black dresses, of courac, several of them handsome enough to grace a presidential dinner party, but the handsomest gowns, using the superlative degree with all deference, were in the vivid colorings which are distinctively of 1912. Two or more schools of dress are distinctly established in Washington smart circles. The rich and rare brocades, velvets and satins made in rather severe lines, with untrimmed skirts and much adorned corsage, which bear the hallmark of the Worth, are leaders in one line, while equally well favored are the diaphanous chiffons, the tulles, nets and metallic gauze with contrasting under drapery, or over drapery of soft pliable satin and the new taffeta. The latter is, however, distinctly a day time fabric, seen at its best in reception toilette or at smart breakfast or luncheon parties. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A FINE PRESENT dent value in the eyes of the ex-president, was carefully picked up by the butler summoned to face the crisis with manly valor and removed to a sequestered section of the mansion. The wedding of Miss Carlisle and Walter Howe in St. John's church was one of the big social events of the winter, and they are now on a honeymoon in Europe—an extensive tour, but one that will not take in Africa. The bride, so her friends say, is spending much deep thought in an effort to compose a note of thanks to the colonel. The rhinoceros tail was unadorned. It was simply dry and black, much as if it had been ripped off by the mighty Bwano Tumbo and hung up to dry. Mrs. Howe is the daughter of Mrs. Calderon Carlisle, whose late husband for many years was one of the leading authorities here on international law. there were 4,130 men and 296 officers at last report. This constabulary had its origin in the Filipino scouts that were organized during the war of occupation. The scouts readily adopted the methods of the Americans and showed themselves easily amenable to discipline. With them as a basis, the force has been gradually increased until members of the constabulary are to be found in nearly all parts of the island, and have come to be as much depended upon to keep order as are the American troops. The Filipino boys are taken when they know nothing of the English language and little of civilized life. They are provided with shelter and food and get small wages. There is a scramble to get into the service. By nature these Malay Mongolian races are great imitators. When they see a thing done once they can come near repeating it. The Filipino is being found to be an excellent fighter. There have been instances when led by an American officer these troops have charged fortified positions with a resulting death percentage as high as 40 and have refused to give up the charge. would make him a full member of the tribe, with voting privilege and no dues. But Steenerson, who stands six feet four, has a girth like a yearling Percheron, or a traffic cop, and the Indian's belt lacked about five inches of meeting. The chief muttered something that made all the Indians smile, though they were not due to smile until toward the end of the following month. Even in his more giddy moments the average Chippewa is about as jocose as the portraits of George Washington. Steenerson learned that the chief's facetious remark was: "When him been Indian little while him be small enough there for belt to meet all right." REPORTED SCOTT REACHES POLE LONDON HEARS RUMOR HIS ANT. ARCTIC EXPLORATION IS SUCCESS. LEFT ENGLAND IN 1910 PARTY EXPECTED TO BEGIN FINAL DASH FOR GOAL LAST SUMMER. London.—A rumor is published in an evening paper that Captain Robert F. Scott, the British Antarctic explorer, has reached the South Pole. Mrs. Scott declares she has heard nothing from her husband and there is no confirmation obtainable from any source. Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the British Navy is at the head of an expedition which included sixty men, twenty Siberian ponies, thirty dogs and two motor-sledges, which left England in July, 1910, on the Terra Nova. His plans for the journey from King Edward's Land to the pole included the use of three means of sledge traction—ponies, dogs and motrs—and ponies were taken in sufficient numbers to insure a thoroughly adequate amount of food to the base of Beardmore glacier. Stores sufficient for three years were carried. In January, 1911, Captain Scott and his comrades went south to establish depots, later returning to New Zealand. All through the summer it was intended to make the final preparations for the last dash toward the pole, which was to be carried out at the end of the year. Four other expeditions were recently in the Antarctic, each of them with a view of attaining the South Pole. The most important of these is considered to be that of the Norwegian captain, Roald Amundsen, who utilized the Fram, the celebrated polar ship which Dr. Fridtjof Nansen used in his explorations in the Arctic ocean from 1893 to 1896. Captain Amundsen left Buenos Ayres toward the end of 1910. Another expedition is that of the Austrian, Dr. Mawson, who was one of the members of the Shackelton expedition. The vessel used by him is the Aurora, which left Australia in November, 1910. The German Antarctic expedition, under the leadership of Lieutenant Wilhelm Filchner of the Bavarian Army, sailed on the steamer Deutschland October 5th last year. A Japanese expedition under Lieutenant Shirase left for the south on the Klianan Maru from Sydney harbor November 20th last. Madero to Quit. City of Mexico.—A report said to originate with members of congress is current that the receipt of President Madero's resignation and also that of Vice President Pino Suarez would not surprise members of congress when that body meets April 2 or soon thereafter. In fact the resignations are said to be expected, in which case, according to the best information obtainable. Gen. Geronimo Trevino would be the choice of congress for president ad interim, his probable term of service being two years, or until peace had been restored throughout the republic, when new elections would be held.

Eagerly the eyes of a woman will scan the pages of papers and magazines for the thousand and one little helps, especially those that are for beautifying the complexion or hair, or to remedy some physical defect. It sounds very good, and so it is, but when one mentally calculates the price of the much desired, it is with a sigh that the article is cast aside. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman's hair. It fulfills a mission when ugly features are beyond repair, for angularity and sharpness is softened with a delicate frame of beautiful hair around one's face. It is not possible to change the color without injurious results, and nature provides the shade of hair which best suits your complexion. But when it is dead looking, dusty appearing, broken, not properly arranged it destroys the best appearance in the world. Let the hair be ever so tawdry, broken or dull of appearance this preparation will increase its growth, impart a beautiful sheen and change its dull, dead appearance. Boll a double handful of sage with one-half teaspoonful of salt and sulphur in one quart of water. Use leaf sage. Strain it into a large bottle, add as much quinine as you can hold on the end of a knife blade and put into the mixture 5 cents' worth of bay rum and 5 cents' worth of witchhazel. Apply it to the scalp with a medicine dropper. If the scalp is dry use a very little vaseline on the hair. The liquid will "cut" the grease. This is good.

At each plate a pink bridesmaid rose, except that of the hostess, where a pure bride rose will tell you the story.

ONE OF THE NEWEST BLOUSES 1 Dollies as thin as gossamer are now being used with crystal glasses and dalty china. The latest importations of these are fine as cobwebs. Each disk is embroidered with the finest linen floss, and while the pattern seems to cover the bit of tissue it by no means gives it a thick look. The finger bowl set which expresses the newest style in the perfectly appointed table is of sheer bolting cloth finished on the edge with a tiny embroidered scallop and garland of microscopic flowers worked in a trellis design. REALLY LUSCIOUS HAM MANY WAYS FOR ITS PERFECT PREPARATION. Size of the Article, as Well as Individual Taste, Has to Be Considered—Method of Dealing With Small Ones. The various ways of cooking ham, each tried by those who have practiced it, are too numerous to mention. Some steam the ham first, then cover with a coating of flour and water and bake in an open pan. Some boil the ham and finish in the oven and others soak the ham for two days in cold water and then roast on a spit over a dripping pan. It depends on the size of the ham and on the cooking range, and personal tastes. There are few sugar cured hams in this progressive age, so the mode of cooking must necessarily change and the flavor that was once given to the meat by long smoking after it had been steeped in honey or syrup, be added in the process of cooking. An excellent cook says she selects a ham weighing about twelve pounds. A smaller one is apt to have too much bone, with a goodly thickness of fat on one side, for a ham that is too lean will not be a fine flavor, and prepares it thus: Soak for twelve hours. Trim aawy the rusty parts from the underside and the edges. Scrub the whole ham with a stiff brush. Stick a few whole cloves into the ham and sprinkle over with pepper and light brown sugar. Make a paste of flour and hot water and cover the bottom of the ham with it, place in the baking pan skin side up and cook, allowing twenty-five minutes to the pound. Baste now and then. When done peel off the crust and the skin and dredge over lightly with flour. Put into the oven again until browned. If you have a savory roasting pan—one that has a close-fitting cover and oval bottom—you have the best possible means at hand for baking a ham, and you will not need to look at it after you have put it in the oven until it is done for these pans are self-basting. Wash the ham and dot over with the spice. Put in the roaster and add one cup of cider, sprinkle with sugar and put in the oven. California hams are small and sweet and just the thing to cook with cabbage if you are a real housekeeper and can have such good things and they are nice, too, when steamed. These little hams are sure to be very salty and will need to be soaked over night, at least, to freshen them. The writer thinks the best way to cook a small ham is in a paper bag, for then all the flavor and rich juices are saved. Prepare the ham. Do not forget the cloves, and if you are fond of spice, mix a little cinnamon with the sugar you rub over it. Dredge the ham on the top side with flour, place in a cooking bag, seal, and fold over the ends. Add no water or other moisture. Bake a little less than the usual twenty-five minutes for each pound. Watch the clock and do not cook too long. When done puncture the bag and drain the juice and fat into a small bowl. Set this aside until cold and you will have a cake of the finest sort of shortening, and the liquor, which is the real essence of the ham, may be thickened into gravy or used to season some vegetable dish. Serve the ham while hot and use any that remains when it is cold. You will find it hard to decide whether it is best in the first state or in the last. Scotch Broth (For Two Days). One pound of shin of beef, half pound pearl barley, two carrots, pepper and salt, five cents worth of bones, three turnips, two gallons of water. Put beef bones, barley and water, with two teaspoonfuls of salt, over the fire in large pot and simmer for one hour, and turnips, onions and carrots (one scraped or grated) and cut the vegetables in dice and cook another hour. If liked, a little chopped parsley may be added. The bones may be put with fresh water and simmered and the second stock thus made be added to the second day's broth, with a few potatoes. For the Tea Table. Oriental sweetmeats are very popular for afternoon tea tables. Among the first favorites are candied Chinese oranges, dates, plums and other stone fruit crystallized by foreign process and stuffed with nut mixtures. Turkish paste and East India articles of all kinds are much used. Ginger bonbons are easily made at home, by taking oblong pieces of preserved ginger and inserting these in the heart of fine large dates, which have been stoned. Draw the date together and roll in powdered sugar. Don't Wrap It Up. There are a good many housekeepers who wrap their bread in clean cloths immediately after taking it from the oven. This is a mistake, and it should instead be set on a frame so that the air may circulate all around it until cool, then be put away in covered jars to prevent drying. Marshmallow Frizzle One-half pint thick cream whipped stiff, one-half pound marshmallows cut into small bits, one cupful chopped walnuts, one-half cupful sugar, little vanilla. Mix all together and put in cool place for one hour before serving. A. M. LAWHORN Undertakers A first-class Mortuary establishment. First aid to the bereaved in the time of death of loved ones.
