PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE TAFT TICKET VOL. XVII1. (From The Literary Digest.) If the fight at Chicago really stiffened Republican determination and hardened soft muscles for the fray, as the Boston Transcript (Ind Rep.) optimistically believes, instead of hopelessly weakening and dividing the party, this fact may explain the confidence now shown by many Taft supporters. Undismayed by gleeful Democrats and bolting Progressives, these editors point to Taft and Sherman as a winning ticket, and to the Chicago platform as a mighty asset in the campaign, a document whose progressiveness is guaranteed by men like Governor Hadly of Missouri. Sharing the notable optimism of the Philadelphia Telegrapn (Rep.) and Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.) the Denver Republican stoutly asserts that "the right thing has been done—Taft will be re-elected." In nominating Taft and Sherman "the Republican party has put forward the strongest names it could offer for the ticket," in the opinion of the Detroit Free Press (Ind.). The Washington Herald (Ind.), too, is thoroughly convinced that "the Republicans can and will elect Taft." Such confidence is generally accompanied by approving of the acts of the Taft administration, and a belief that the Koosevelt party will cut but a small figure in the campaign. And there are a host of papers which, while less inclined to prophesy success in the November election, are no less certain that the result at Chicago was in itself a great moral victory, and that the party owed it to itself to give Mr. Taft a renomination. In words not unlike the President's own, the Kansas City Journal calls it the greatest triumph since the organization of the party. Going a step farther, the Chicago Inter-Ocean calls for an outburst of thanksgiving upon the part of "every patriotic and sober-minded American"—for "the greatest danger that has menaced this Republic since Secession died at Appomatox has been averted." This, it adds, "is the meaning of the rejection of Theodore Roosevelt and all his works and ways, and of the renomination of William Howard Taft on a platform of stalwart Republicanism by the Republican National convention." Yet even the Inter Ocean deems it "idle to ignore the difficulties of Mr. Taft's election." And the same idea seems to haunt the minds of other loyal supporters who acclaim his indorsement as a deserved tribute, as a vindication of the constitution, as a retention of party ideals Once more the St. Louis Globe-Democrat sees the Republican flag waving "in decisive triumph over menacing and sinister forces." But all these Republican papers, as for instance, the Buffalo Express, the Dayton Journal, the Pittsburg Dispatch and Chronical Telegraph, and the Baltimore American, at least tacitly admit the possibility of defeat. Governor Hadley's statement that the Chicago platform, which he helped to draw up, is on the whole "the most progressive platform we have ever presented to the American people," is loudly echoed by the Taft press. The platform seems masterly, strong, and sensible to the Taft Republican Dayton Journal. Any Republican can stand on it, aver the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph and Philadelphia Inquirer and News. Nay, it is even "broad enough, fair enough, progressive enough to suit any American who cares more for his great country than his small self," remarks the San Francisco Call. The tariff plank is especially pleasing to the St. Louis Globe Democrat. "In declaring protective duties vital to the maintenance of the American working-man's higher standards of living, the Republican platform strikes the keynote of the party's position on the question." On it "the Republicans will be able to make a winning campaign." To the Albany Journal, owned by Mr. Barnes, the keynote clause was that calling for "self-controlled representative government." A summary of this platform so vigorously assailed by its foes and so earnestly defended by its friends, this document framed by a committee including such men as ex-Vice President Fairbanks, Nicholas Murray-Butler and Governor Hadley, follows: After emphatically stating its belief in "our self-controlled representative democracy, which is a government of laws, not of men, and in which order is the prerequisite of progress," the platform goes on to declare that the party is one of advancing and constructive statesmanship which will strive in the states as well as in the nation "to erect the necessary legislation to safeguard the public health; to limit effectively the labor of women and children; to DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JULY 13 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Biosci State House HANTS WH ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO protect wage-earners engaged in dangerous occupations; to erect comprehensive and generous workmen's compensation laws in place of the present wasteful and unjust system of employer's liability, and in all possible ways to satisfy the just demand of the people for the study and solution of the complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare." The platform "reaffirms" the party's intention to uphold the "authority and integrity of the courts." The tariff plank contains reaffirmation of the party's protective policy and asks for import duties high enough to yield a sufficient revenue and to protect adequately American industries and wages. "Some of the existing import duties are too high and should be reduced. Readjustment should be made from time to time to conform to changing conditions and to reduce excessive rates, but without injury to any American industry. To accomplish this correct information is indespensible. This information can best be obtained by an expert commission." WAITERS FED IN BASEMENT LIKE CATTLE (From Chicago Defender) Apropos of the recent strike of the white waiters in New York City and the employment of Negro waiters in their stead it brings to mind the deplorable conditions that exist in hotels in Chicago that still employs Negro waiters. A careful investigation based upon a recent article in one of our daily newspapers shows that the so-called family hotels in the Hyde Park district are the most notorious in their treatment of their waiters and their bellmen. In one of the most widely advertised hotels in this section the waiters call their dining room "the dog house." Their dining room is under the pavement, poorly lighted and ventilated. A long table covered with oil cloth runs the length of the room. An antiquated steam table keeps warm the "bill of fare" intended for "the Niggers" three times a day. The course morning meal of oat meal or steak along side of which leather is tender, and coffee only in name is served to the elaborate dinner of stew or hash. The management takes pride in declaring that his waiters have no right to eat anything else because he furnishes them the best of meals. Occasionally the chef cook, still happy from a night at White City, puts on a new stunt and they have "pork and beans." But "the stew" is a favorite dish. It generally comes down in dish pans, but those hungry souls, fearful of taking a crust of bread from the dining room above are compelled to be content with this dirty mess. Many of the waiters have been ill after eating in these Hyde Park "dog houses" Other conditions are equally as bad in these hotels. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held in Chicago.—Delegates From Nearly Every State in the Union to Be Present. — Local Chicago Committees at Work. The Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The local Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the sessions. Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, Secretary Chicago Negro Business League 3517 State Street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved. Last year, nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program, and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago League is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the Local Negro Business League in inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South, for the meeting. Local Leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for special Pullman or Tourist Car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the coming meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men an women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time: The National Negro Bankers' association; the National Negro Funeral Directors' association; the National Negro Press association, and the National Negro Bar association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the Negro people.

McAlpin, a Negro railway clerk, on his first run from here to Union, Miss., returned here showing welts, bruises and cuts which he said he received at the hands of a crowd of men at Union. He said he was forced to remove his clothing, he said, and the men with whips gave him a beating, telling him they wanted no Negroes on his job. He was sent here to relieve O. L. Parker, a white clerk. Over 5000 voices were heard in the great Saengerfest Chorus Tuesday night at the great Convention Hall, Broad street and Allegheny avenue. President Taft was present and the audience 20,000 in number joined in singing "The Star Spangled Banner." The huge chorus of 25,000 voices could be heard for several miles away. The national meeting of the Saengerfest Chorus had the honor of being the first to meet in the new Convention Hall, which was completed last week. It would be a great movement if we could arrange a national meeting of a colored chorus to assemble in Convention Hall. There are a number of choruses in the several parts of the country and it would be a rare musical treat to hear them in a united grand chorus. If Mme. Hackley continues to organize colored choruses it will only be a short time before we could hold a national musical convention. Philadelphia Tribune. TO MAKE RELICS OF SLAVE DAYS Carlisle, Pa., June 29.—Members of the Cumberland County Historical Society are initiating a movement to mark in some fitting manner the famous old landmarks fast being razed, that at one time played important parts in the "underground railroad system," which prior to the Civil War, made the Cumberland Valley famous. The underground roads were in operation as early as 1875. The mountains of Southern Pennsylvania made the Cumberland Valley a natural route for runaway slaves. One of the principal stations of the "road" was at Boling Springs, where Daniel Kaufman was agent from 1835 to 1848. Kaufman lived near a thick woods in which he hid the fugitives, and NO 44 often in inclement weather he used his house and barn as hiding places. Other agents who were instrumental in helping the slaves were Stephen Weekly, Philip Brechbill and Mode Griffin. On one occasion Griffin found nine colored men on a ridge near Boling Springs. Another party of thirteen, guided by Cole, a free colored man from Chambersburg, appeared at Kaufman's on November 19. 1847. These had traveled through Shippensburg and Miller's Furnace at Huntsdale, down the Walnut Bottom, finally arriving at Burgholder's Cider Press, where they were directed to Kaufman's. Having traveled by daylight Kaufman was compelled to pass them on quickly. That night he sent them to Harrisburg. For this offense Kaufman was prosecuted in the District Court and fined $2,000. The case was appealed and the decision was reversed because the offense was in violation of the fugitive slave law and should have been tried in the United States Court. He with Breechbill and Weekly was prosecuted and after three trials was fined $2,800. Sympathizers subscribed $1,900 toward the payment of the fine and cost, which amounted to $4,191. The suit seemed to have cooled Kaufman's ardor, for the control of the "road" passed to Richard Woods, John Morrison, Stephen Weekly and John Hardee. The route through the country was also changed, due probably to the increased animosity of the McCliniock riot in Carlisle in 1847 and the prosecution of Kaufman. This route which closely followed the mountains and avoided the public highways, although more difficult to travel, was more secure: "Passengers changed cars" at Greenwood, Franklin County, and under the care o Michael Buck, a full blooded African and protage of Woods, were hidden in an almost inaccessible swamp. No stations existing along this mountain route, food was sent by woods, Weekly and Morrison "syndicate." No regular time table existed. When fugitives appeared at the Woods station John Harder would load up his old fashioned Conestoga market wagon and go to Harrisburg to Market, where he would unload his human produce. Harder being a market man and a Democrat, hisconnection with the underground railroad was never suspected. 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES.

As a result of earthquake shocks which were felt all over Alaska. re- cently, it is feared Mount Katmai again is erupting. Wireless connec- tion with Kadiak Island is broken and the United States navy wireless sta tion at Cordova has been unable to communicate with Karluk, Bristol Bay and other westward stations since the earthquake, leading to the fear that further volcanic eruptions may be taking place, ‘ WASHINGTON. The design of the 6b-cent piece which has been jingling in the pockets ‘of American citizens for many years does not coincide with the Treasury Department’s conception of art and it will be changed in its entirety. A sharp difference along pelitical lines has developed in the Senate over the proposed impeachment of Judge Archbald of the Commerce Court. Many senators, including the influen- tial Republicans, favor deferring the tria} until after the November elec: tions, contending that ample time should be given to prepare for the hearing of the impeachment charges and that many senators are needed at home to look after their political fences. A nation-wide movement to petition President Taft to withdraw as the Re- publican presidential candidate is be: ing backed by a large number of Re publican officeholders. ‘These men in- clude members of Congress, members of state Legislatures which will elect senators, state and county officeholu- ers and party candidates. If the move- ment succeeds in gaining volume, it 1s said these same men may ask Roose velt to withdraw as a prospective can- didate for an independent nomination and to permit a compromise selection of some man agreeable to both fac- tions of the party. ‘The only relief from present condl- tions in Western oll fields, caused by the withdrawal from entry of these lands, will be a surface entry act sim- ilar to the Mondell law allowing the qgricultural entry of coal lands.

Denver.—The Interior Department at Washington made it known for the first time recently that the United States government filed on 730,000 ficre feet of the waters of the Rio Grande river in 1906 and that if'1908 it ffled on all the unappropriated wa. ters of that stream and its tributaries. The information became public in a letter from Samuel Adams, first assist- ani secretary of the Interior Depart- ment, to the Denver Chamber of Com- merce. It was in response to the reso- lutions recently adopted by the cham- ber in regard to the water rights in the San Luis valley in connection with the refusal of the department to grant rights of way for reservoirs and canals upon the Rio Grande and its tributaries, The correspondence between the chamber and the Interior Department easily opens to the people of Colorado the biggest issue which is before It today, and which threatens to become national in its character. ‘The federal government in this com- munication admits that it has appro- priated for its own use the waters of ‘one of Colorado's greatest watersheds and that it intends to use this water for the benefit of New Mexico, Mex- ico and Texas under the big Elephant Butte reservoir. ‘The government by this action de- prives the people of the San Luis val- ley of the right to reclaim their own lands with the waters of Colorado in order that the people of two other states and of a foreign nation may ben- efit thereby. ‘The state of Colorado owns 250,000 acres of land in that section from which the right to file has been with- drawn, and it is estimated that this land would be worth at least $10,000, 000 with water upon it, | The Chamber of Commerce ente:- ‘tained business men from the Saa Luis valley at a luncheon in this city in May, at which the attitude: of the Interior Department toward the San Luis valley was discussed. Resolutions were adopted calling vpon Governor Shafroth to protest to President Taft against the {legal ac- tion of the Interior Department in withholding the right to file on the wa- ters of the Rio Grande. The resolutions provided that if nec- essary the governor should bring suit in the federal courts to protect the rights of the state.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There is a set of miserable human ‘beings in this world who possess one talent (?) and this one 1s put to us- ury more than ten times and the re- sults usually are hundred-fold.

A man is a “knocker” as he may be a kleptoma- niac and if he is known to be the latter we are rather inclined to pity him than to censure, but the “knocker"—his dis- ease is the more insidious and deadly Decause it {s spread through words, through insinuations, innuendoes and {s well nigh incurable, so deep are its roots in the human mind, Opinions or criticisms, the latter favorable or unfavorable, are justifiable if warrant: ed and vice versa and the weakness of a man or woman is displayed if he or she shrinks from the expressions of his fellow-men in regard to ability, at: tainment or character. Freedom of speech {s the boast of modern clviliza. tion and woe be unto those who would make mankind less privileged by seek: ing to curtall the right of any to this Ddoasted freedom. “Knockers” cannot be classed as identical with those who would make the world of men better by placing be fore them a higher standard of mor- ality or religion or social ethics. The Jatter render a duty, a service and their mission ts to upbuild, but the former puts, forth his efforts te destroy and hinder the progress of all. In all phases of life this contemptt dle sneak is met with. Too indolent or ignorant to strive for success, he finds fault with, condemns and ofter maligns the man who is making hon est efforts to succeed. This is true in many cases of our colored men. The} re not content to let each man galr success in his chosen work or pro fession, but think {t their bounder duty to say all the evil that can be said and In this way destroy all pros pects of his attainment of any worl ‘or noble purpose. The honest colore¢ man tmdertakes a business enterpris —a hundred hands go up to pull hin down to the depths from whence thes reach, a hundred voices say, “I won’ patronize lia, he is trying to get rich the is too proud anyway, he is rising too rap{dly.” ‘The worthy and enter prising professional man undertake: a work uplifting to himself and hi ‘fellow creatures. The chronic plagu: breeders begin their work with him ‘He is “knocked” and suffers In propor ‘tion to the “welght” of the “hammers’ used. Comment has been made before ft regard to this class of ind{viduals After all “there is nothing new unde the sun,” nor 1s there anything nev about this statement of the “knocker' and his accomplishments, but right aminded men and women do not wist to gain membership in this class, do not wish this disgusting habit to grov upon them. “Guard thy speech” an the attitude of mind toward all men— plainly, “put aside yer hammer anc quit yer knockin’."—Chicago Chron dele. With regard to the waiters’ strike ynow in existence in this city we have ‘two suggestions: First: Wherever the hotel proprie- ‘tors employ colored people, they ought not to use them in this crisis as a cats- \paw. They should not be used merely to break the strike, and after the strike 1s broken, be “put out on the bricks," Such a course would work irreparable loss to the cause of the colored walters, and would ~ create prejudice-far worse than now exists against them, We hope that wher- ever colored waiters enter employment formerly held by white waiters, they will have {t clearly understood that they are to keep their jobs permanent- ly, and not only for the time being. Second: We wish to urge upon the waiters the importance of doing the work as efficiently as the whita walt- ers. This means that the colored waiter who would keep the job must keep his body and clothes clean and attractive, and must study his work just as the white waiter does. He must not use his job merely as a stepping stone to something else, but must master every detail of it. The colored waiter cannot get situa- tions in first-class hotels and restau- rants if he sits up all night or a good part of the night, and then goes to his post sleepy and filthy next morning. He must, be just as clean, attractive and wide awake as the white waiter. If he pursue the right policy, the chances are that many of the colored waiters will obtain permanent em. ployment in this city. “Working One's Way Through Col- ege and University” (A. C. McClurg & o.), by Calvin Dill Wilson, discusses all phases of the problem now upper. most of the minds of thousands of our boys and girls. Mr. Wilson's advice is helpful and optimistic. His extensive §nvestigations have revealed the fact there is no college in the United States where it {s impossible for a self-sup- porting young man to complete his course: that there are some where the number of students partly or entirely earning thelr way runs as high as 80 per cent., and that even at the most expensive universities there are nu- merous opportunities in the way of scholarships and honor prizes for the student in need of financial as- sistance, Mr. Wilson tells of a colored student at the Northwestern university med- ical school, one of the most exacting courses in any college, who for two years acted as porter on the Twen- tieth Century Limited between Chicago and Cleveland, He would leave Chi- cago at 2:30 p. m, one day, return at 7:20 the next morning, attend school all that day and the next morning, and go out again on the 2:30 train on that third afternoon, He earned about $80 a month and supported an invalid father, a mother and a sister during his time in college. Another young man at that same university, which a magazine writer whom Mr. Wilson quotes calls the “paradise of the self- supporting student,” after having been successively a locomotive fireman, a truckman, a department store sales- man and a switchman, entered college and during a part of his time lived over a barn and did his own cooking, A third more than met his expenses by selling honey and eggs to boarding house keepers.—New York Sun. Genius can never develop until the mind is free enough to follow its own thoughts. The conventional always stifles anything like a genius. Imag- ine Edison as having spent four years at college as a young man and then becoming a professor. Would his ge- nious have ever blossomed forth? Im: agine Theodore Roosevelt as having become a dentist at 25, and settled down in a city of 6,000. Would his ge nius for leadership have ever carried him to the president's chair? Those who become great, under our present modes of thinking, and under our present ways of educating the young, are those who feel a mighty urge from natural ability. We do not make it easy for genius to develop. We do not encourage genius by our customs. We do not welcome origin- ality. As it is now, no one but an in- tense egotist has courage to do his own thinking and follow his genius to success. Only an intense egotist has power sufficient to overcome mental laziness and get away from the cur- rents of conventional thought. ‘There is an original vein in every man. There is a path to original de- velopment open to every one. There is something you can do that no one else can do quite so well. You have a work all your own, But you will not find it by slipping into the ruts of the conventional and lolling at ease in the ideas of your teachers and as- sociates. ‘The great genius is animated with. in himself. He weighs all suggestions from the outside and he accords each suggestion only so much weight as {t seems to him to be entitled to. He does not attach importance to a doc trine or a theory simply because it has been accepted by the crowd, The most of us never tap the real source of original power within our- selves because we are 80 busy follow: ing out the suggestions offered to us from the outside, “Insist on yourself, never imitate," says Emerson, And this is the secret of power and genius.—Southern Life Magazine. Little police protection is afforded our girls of today because “while we have an efficient police department, our present officers have not the inter- est in negro social uplift, nor have they the opportunity to acquaint them- selves with conditions that threaten our girls’ future, and right here we will say that even one good negro officer could do more for the moral and social safety of the negro girl than all our present county, city, township and school officers together.. We need this protection for our girls, but It can only come by a safeguard or an alliance to save the girls led by some of our good and capable negro women who have the future of their race at heart. Agi- tation will bring the protection and or- ganization will do the saving of our girls.—Springfield (Ill.) Citizen. Negroes lose out in contesting with white people because they cannot pre- sent a united front when making de- mands. This was forcibly illustrated at the General Conference of the M. B. church at Minneapolis, Minn., by the Negro delegates on the matter of a Negro bishop. As soon as these dele gates arrived there, they split up, and leadership of them was impossible White men know that splitting up Negroes is the best way to control or misuse them, and in every Instance our men gulp down this same old bait. Chicago negroes are catching the progressive spirit. We learn from the Defender that the Lincoln State Sav. ings bank has opened its doors and that the outlook is most promising. We hope for our neighbors in the Windy City much success, Inquiry is being made for Stella Oliver of St. Paul, as there is a sum of money left to her by Nettie Gra- - of Chicago.—St. Paul Guide.

FRENCH WOMEN RAISE FUNDS FOR COLORED BACHELOR FUND OF 22,000 FRANCS RAISED BY BAZAR IN PARIS—STORY OF AVARICE THAT COMES FROM LAVAL—GIVEN SO THEY CAN MARRY—MONEY TO GET WIVES. Parls—Surely there are no more kind-hearted people in the world than Parisians. They make a hobby of charity, and as their pocketbooks are not always as capacious as their hearts, they are continually arranging charity bazars to raise money for all sorts of purposes. But the one recent- ly given is probably the most original of them all. It was organized under the patronage of the charming Com- tesse d’Eu, and the amount of 22,000 francs was raised for the wonderful purpose of enabling 110 bachelors of the dark continent to woo and wed the same number of black-skinned maids. The result was proclaimed amid thunders of applause at the general assembiy of the French Anti-Slavery society, presided over by M. Le Myre de Villers. This gentleman, who has played an extremely active part in France's colonial expansion, explained to his delighted audience that the society had, in the past eighteen months, been holding an extensive investigation into the matrimonial customs of the ne- groes, as a result of which !t had as certained that only the men who had money enough to purchase wives were able to wed, and that as it took them many years to save,up the necessary sum, they were becoming elderly when they entered the marriage state. Ag for their juniors, they naturally had to remain single until they had obtained the wherewithal, and even when they had won a wife, they held her only “by |a precarious title,” as her canny par. jents took advantage of the faintest | pretext to ask for more money. | The tender hearts of the members of the society had been melted by the discovery that the’ course of true love did not run smcoth even in those |primitive regions, so they decided to facilitate wedlock among young negro couples by advancing to each prospec- tive bridegroom 200 francs, which would be paid back in five years at the rate of forty francs per annum. The 22,000 francs will thus be devoted to the setting up of 110 negro households. by the way of a start, pending the re celpt of other generous donations, fs to be hoped that the parents of those prospective brides will not hear of this marvelous stroke of good luck. as being already noted for their grasp. ing proclivities, they may be tempted to double the figure and now antt-slay- ery. The wife's troubles often begin with her union, and she is usuall; bond-woman in every sense of the word.’ The old saying that charity be gins at home seems to have been rath jappverldokadi on Ablatoseablon: NEGROES FRIGHTENED BY NEWLY BORN CHILD "abate pounee eee Thomasville, Ga—According to re- ports received here the negroes around Pelham, over in Mitchell county, are much stirred up over an Infant phe- nomenon which, {t 1s sald, spoke when only a few hours old, and among other things predicted the end of the world. Several negroes here have recelved letters from friends in Pelham telling of this child, which, they affirm, turn. ed and spoke to {ts mother when it had been born only eight hours. ‘The child, so the story goes, told its mother that {t would die in two hours and she would die {n four hours and the world would come to an end in six months. Mother and child are both sald to have departed this life on schedule time, and now the colored population have no doubt whatever that the remainder of the prophecy Another -portion of the prophecy will be fulfilled. which the child ts alleged to have ut- tered and which showed that it pos- sessed a voice of wisdom was that tt would rein “off and on” until the end of the world, As the showers in this section have undoubtedly been of that character of late and are Mable to con- tinue so there is no difficulty In rect!- fying the truth of the utterance, which {s, of course, he'd np as a confirmation of the whole matter. REST AND MOTION IN THE UNI. VERSE. The studies of Professor Campbell on the radial velocities of stars and nebulae haye led him to some -nterest. ing conclusions concerning the mo- Hons that take place among the bodies constituting the visible universe. He finds that stars which the spectroscope seems to prove are relatively old trav- el at higher velocity than those which are younger and that the formless nebulae, like those In Orion, appear to be nearly or quite motionless in re- gard to the'stars. In explanation he suggests that the rate of motion de- pends upon the time during which the condensation into stellar bodies has been going on. When the matter is widely scattered in minute particles, solid or gaseous, the pressure of radia- tlon, acting from all sides, counteracts the pull of gravitation, and the nebu- lous cloud remains at rest. But after condensation the gravitational force overcomes the radiation pressure, and the condensed bodies begin to move and thelr velocity increases with age —London Graphic.

These forces are being utiljzed among the six big ne- gro colleges at Atlanta in their first step of co-operative effort. The or- ganization of the “Atlanta Federation of Schools for the Improvement of Ne- gro Country Life” marks a new ep och in the educational affairs of our People in Georgia, and has the possi- bilities of reaching out into every needy community of the south, Such @ federation has unlimited opportunt- tles for usefulness. ‘These six colleges are now engaged in extensfon work which cannot be done as effectively by one as by all operating together in combination. The adoption of this idea in educe- tional centers like Atlanto, Nash- ville, New Orleans, Augusta, and oth- ers, would spread the movement to cover the entire south. Here is a nucleus of ‘ co-operation among the alumni of these colleges in such communities where two or more of them reside. Possibly 75 per cent. of colored graduates in Georgia were educated in Atlanta’s six colored col- leges. Get this three-fourths of our prepared workers into a united move- ment for the improvement of negro rural life, and telling results are sure of accomplishment. ‘The undergraduates attending these schools will also, on their return home each year, find a mapped-out pian for mission work that will be well worth their following. When we consider that fully four-fifths pi the 2,750 students enrolled yearly tn these six colleges are from Georgia commu- uitles, it can be seen that there Is a mass of good working material that tan be utilized in helping the rural people to increase their efficiency, raise their standaras of living, and be- come more largely interested in com- munity life, Many individuals have gone out from our Atlanta colleges and have independently built up efficient organ- izations for giving effective education- al advantages to the masses in those sections where they have gone. Nota- bly among them are: Prof. A. H. Hunt, principal of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school, in Houston coun- ty; Prof, J. W. Reddick, principal of the Americus Instiute, in Sumter county; Mrs. Julla C. Jackson, who conducts a model country school in Clark county. Under the direction of the “Atlanta Federation of Schools for the Improve- ment of, Negro Country Life” every one with the inclination to be of the largest possible service to his or her people, can engage in a worthy work aiong this line under expert super vision. ‘The Federation of Schools will for the present confine their efforts to the promotion of Negro Boys’ Corn clubs in Georgia, but their entrance at some future time into other activities in ex- tension work will be heartily welcom- ed by their thousands of patrons and friends. Philadthropists and the managers of special funds for the promotion of ed- ucation have refrained in the past from giving to the cause in this sec- tion because of the multiplicity of in- dependent institutions here and a duplication of coliege work, not restr. Ing to help one to the exclusion of the others, and unable to give to all. But this federation for extension work ought to relieve them of further em- barrassment, for through {t the exten- sion work of all six colleges will be promoted and the entire people in Georgia and the south will ultimately be benefited. Much credit is due the heads of these schools and their assist ants in effecting such an organiza ton, The laudable and well known rivalry between the colleges was thought by many an insurmountable obstacle in the way of any such united effort on their part. That each has risen above a natural clannishness and has Joined in with all the others to accomplish the largest possible good for all the people, {s a testimonial to their earnestness and Christian devo- tfon to the larger purpose of uplifting the negro people. ‘The field work of organizing corn clubs has been delegated to a commit- tee on corn clubs with the following as | members: Professor Towns of At- lanta university, Miss Brill of Spel- man seminary, Professor Harper of Morris Brown college, Professor Ar- cher of Atlanta Baptist college. Prof, P.

The Colorado Statesman thanks its readers for their compliments. Information relative to city, state and national interests are usually most valuable and interesting only to intelligent readers. Truth is the end of all intelligent discussion and the treatment of important subjects by strong editorials will make a newspaper doubly valuable. Only important news items are of much interest to general readers now but the interesting editorial page will occupy one's leiser at any time. It is the editorial page that gives food for thought and difference of opinion. A good editorial page gives more prominence and value to advertisement. The editor who habitually neglects his editorial page or fails occasionally to quote opinions of other editors is certain to lose the interest of his readers and make his paper a poor investment for advertisers as well as subscribers. The Colorado Statesman wishes to thank its readers for their appreciation of editorials and to say we are more than glad to know that the time has come when the colored people can enter into appreciation for editorial work. In many of our colored newspapers this important part is overlooked and the notes of correspondents and social functions made the most prominent thing; but as the race advances in general intelligence they will also become more discriminating in the amount, character and exactness of the editorials. The Colorado Statesman will try to keep in the front ranks of the procession. This paper has never lacked for editorial material—our trouble has been simply to confine ourselves to the space and time and importance of the subjects at our disposal. Make it a point to read our editorials every week this year and you will catch the spirit of the times and be a booster. Smile and push for the Colorado Statesman. Curious Result of Adder's Fite. As the result of an adder bite, recently, the back of the hand of a Cardiff (Wales) boy named J. W. Coffy has become marked like an adder. The physician who is attending the case states that the skin and swollen flesh near the bite are like a piece of leather, pigmented exactly the same as an adder, the white streak or ring running round the dark mottled ground. If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him I find it could no otherwise be expressed than by making answer, because it was he; because it was I. There is beyond all that I am able to say, I know not what inexplicable and fated power that brought on this union.—Montaligne. Dick Turnip Platel Found. In the removal of a plaster ceiling and oak paneling of the Jacobaean room in the famous Reindeer inn at Banbury, England, which has been bought by Lord Gurzon of Kedleston, workmen found in the rafters a double flintlock horse pistol inlaid with gold, inscribed, "Presented to Dick Turpin at the White Bear Inn, Drury Lane, February 7, 1735." A burglar in New York was in such a hurry to leave a house at which he called professionally that he left behind him a book containing a list of the places he had "burgled," alphabetically indexed. When arrested he informed the police that he was a "systematic burglar." --- --- Mystery of Love. "Systematic Burglar." By FRANK CRANE MAN'S first duty," said an eminent English scientist, "is to find a way to support himself, thereby relieving other people of the necessity of supporting him." That I consider a shrewd observation. Whatever may be your nature, whether you feel yourself to be an artist, or experience within yourself the movings of poesy, it is well to learn to do something that will enable you to exist with self-respect by taking yourself off other people's backs. The one work to take up is some kind of work the world is willing to pay for. You may be created to do something wonderful or beautiful or wise, but primarily you are created to do something for men that will persuade them to feed and clothe you.

First earn your salt, then come on with your message. In the olden days the Jews taught every child a trade. The youth might grow up to be a learned rabbi, but on a pinch he could mend chairs. Saint Paul was a tent maker. He discharged his debt to the race by making tents; he threw in his gospel as boot. It is what you do to boot that brings you glory and honor, praise and power. But don't forget your main duty, which is to earn your wage. If you don't have to work for a living it is too bad. You may amount to something, but the chances are against you. A few endowed gentlemen and ladies have helped the world along a little, in the course of history, but no enough to matter. Most people look upon a condition where they would be freed from the struggle for bread and butter and house rent as a heaven devoutly to be wished. Hence we have erected universities and scholarships and endowments so that superior folk might devote all their energies to higher things. For the most part those segregated and sheltered classes have done nothing much but maintain old ideas long after they are dead and should have been buried, or contribute to the already endless bric-a-brac of learned uselessness. Wage labor is work. What you do after you work is play. Your play is the best thing you do. All true art, philosophy and religion is the soul's play. There's no wage for it, and there never can be. If you work all the time you become stupid, like the huge money getters. If you play all the time, like the endowed folk, you become silly, probably also vicious. If therefore you would be normal, healthy and happy, do something each day that mankind is willing to pay money for, put forth some effort reducible to the common denominator of human activity—money; do that first, then do something that cannot be paid for.

Nature Favors Active and Busy Life By Eleanor R. Larrison, Chicago So it would seem that nature favors the strenuous life—not that purposeless, resultless buzzing about in the squirrel cage which some people call life, any more than the eternal sitting with folded hands and empty brain, but the great common lot, that of hustling for a living for self and loved ones. Plenty of love, work and play are what are good for us—play to build us up when we are weary, work to keep us from getting into mischief, love to make work worth while. And if we are unhappy, most likely there is something wrong with that great life trinity. The ideal lot would be congenial work—that into which one could put one's very best, loving and being loved by delightful people, and having the means of real recreation—that which verily recreates—always at hand. But in this very practical world, which is only a training school anyhow, it would seem that it is enough for the average man if these three are present, even in imperfection. Most of us must love very ordinary folks, for we are ourselves of the ordinary sort; most of us haven't had the time or means to develop all that may be in us, much less find the round or square holes that exactly fit our round or square shapes; most of us can't choose between golf, automobiling, tennis, horseback riding and fancy gymnastics at the athletic club, but must content ourselves with walking home from business or a game of ball with the boys in the back yard. But only when we love heartily and work well and play whenever we get a chance will life be wholesome, human, real.

Subtle Nerves Are Hard to Control In a railway or other accident a man may be scared within an inch, or even within half an inch, of his life; he may get such a fright as will all but kill him, but unless the fear leaves permanent and painful physical effects, he has no redress in a suit for damages. A decision handed down by a North Carolina court says that "mere fright is not actionable." A person must suffer both in body and in mind and be made sick in order to recover damages. Subtle Nerves Are Hard to Control By WILLIAM G. JOHNSON, Altoona, Pa. That sounds like good common sense, and it is doubtless good law, but can a general rule be applied in all cases? Suppose two persons occupy a seat in a railway car that is wrecked, but neither is injured physically in the least. Suppose also that one of the two is hardy, robust, courageous, with a strong nervous organization, while the other is weak, timid, with shattered nerves. The shock might easily cause the nervous person to suffer both in mind and in body and be made sick, while the other escaped with no unpleasant permanent effects whatever. Would the fright in one case be actionable, and not actionable in the other? Would the railway company be held responsible for the nervous condition of all the passengers? In that case it might be necessary to have specialist to examine passengers before they board the trains or trolley cars, in order that the company might not be liable. Such delicate and subtle things as nerves are hard to control, even by profound and well-established principles of law. two persons occupy a seat in a railway car that is wrecked, but neither is injured physically in the least.

Strong Sunshine, Hot Platters, Plenty of Window Glass, and Perfect Fruit Are Required—Recipe for Orange Custard Fritters. Strawberry Bar Le Duc—Three things are indispensable in making this finest of preserves. The first is strong, steady sunshine, the second hot platters or plates, the third plenty of window glass. The fruit should be perfect and of good flavor, the sugar pure. To every pound of fruit allow a pound of sugar. Heat the sugar on tin plates in the oven, taking care not to let it melt or get too brown. It should, however, be as hot as possible without melting. Have in readiness hot platters or deep plates. Spread a thin layer of hot sugar over the bottom, then a layer of fruit, and lastly another layer of sugar. Cover the platter with a sheet of window glass and place out of doors in the hot sun or in a sunny window in an unused room. If the fruit is out of doors it must be brought in when the sun sets and set in a dry place in the house over night. Return to the sun in the morning. In two or three days the fruit will grow plump and firm and the syrup almost a jelly. Pack in tumblers and seal. If the syrup is not thick, boll until clear and thickened, then pour in the glasses over the fruit. Some good cooks in this part of the country prefer to cook fruit and sugar for ten minutes before spreading on the platter. This of course hastens the preserving process in the sun. Orange Custard Fritters.—Break two and a half eggs into a stewpan with half a pound of flour; mix and pour in by degrees one pint of milk, and stir over the fire for 20 minutes, when the custard should have become smooth; take it off the fire and add two ounces of castor sugar, one-half ounce of grated orange peel, three yolks of eggs and a pinch of salt. Mix these well together and spread the custard to a one inch thickness on a slightly buttered baking sheet. When cold cut it into two pieces two inches by one inch; dip the pieces in egg and bread crumbs and fry them in very hot fat until slightly colored. Drain, sprinkle and sugar and pile on a fancy paper in dish and serve. Trout California Style Lay enough trout in a fish kettle for 12 persons; put on them two carrots and four onions sliced, two bay leaves, a little thyme and parsley, a few cloves, salt and pepper to taste, a bottle of white wine and a quart of water, boil for 10 minutes; remove to back of stove and keep nearly boiling for about half an hour, according to the size of the trout; strain off half the liquor and put it into another sauce pan; stir the liquid to boiling point; let it boil until it is reduced to half a pint; add a little brown sauce, gradually stir into it half a pound of good butter cut in small bits; finish the sauce with the juice of four lemons and a spoonful of chopped parsley. At serving time drain the fish, place them on a long dish, the bottom of which is covered with a napkin; garnish all round with parsley; serve the sauce separately. Currant Fritters. Two cups dry, fine bread crumbs, two tablespoons of prepared flour, two cups milk, half pound currants washed and well dried, five eggs whipped very light, half cup powdered sugar, one tablespoon butter, half teaspoon mixed cinnamon and nut meg. Boll the milk and pour over the bread; mix and put in the butter; let it get cold; beat in next the yolks and sugar, the seasoning, flour and stiff whites; finally, the currants dredged whitely with flour. The batter should be thick. Drop in great spoonful into the hot lard and fry; drain them and send hot to table. Eat with a mixture of wine and powdered sugar. Peach Delight. Peel and split ripe peaches and fill a baking dish, sprinkling each layer of fruit with sugar. Dot the top with butter, add a cupful of water and sprinkle with flour. Make a crust of one and a half cupful of flour sifted with a little salt and a teaspoonful of baking powder, rubbing into the flour then half a cupful of lard and adding ice water to mix. Cover the peaches with a thin sheet of the dough, slit the crust, and serve hot with fresh cream. To Keep Buttons Fast. To sew buttons so that they will not easily come off hold a pin across on the top of the button and sew on in the usual way over the pln. Before fastening the thread, remove the pln and pull out the button as far as the slackness thus made allows, wind the thread several times around the stitches in back and fasten. Hashed Brown Potatoes. Two cupfuls of cold boiled potatoes add a little pepper and salt and one-third of a cupful of fat. Mix and cook three minutes, stirring constantly. Pack and allow to brown under neath. Fold and serve on a hot plate Crisp Pie Crust. Use milk instead of water for mixing ple crust. This 1, 2, 3, rule may be helpful for one ple: 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons lard, 3 tablespoons milk. Washington, July 3.—The Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, a retired minister of the Congregational Church, was elected president of Howard University last Friday at an adjourned meeting of the board of trustees, which lasted eight hours. All of the trustees, except Cuno H. Randolph were present. Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele of the Court of Claims presided. Though the names of Prof. Kelley Miller, dean of the college department of the University, Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of the Teacher's College; Prof. George W. Cook, secretary of the university; Paul Barch, of the Smithsonian Institution, and Thomas Jesse Jones were among these mentioned, the election of Dr. Newman is said to have been unanimous. One factor that is said to have determined the selection of Dr. Newman was the reputed desire of the retiring president, Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, to name Thomas Jesse Jones as his successor. Professor Jones is a white man, and was formerly connected with Hampton Institute. He is now a clerk in one of the departments and is also a lecturer on sociology at the university. ```markdown ``` BATES' TWENTIETH CENTURY WONDER TEA AND POW- DERS. For Sale at Scholtz Drug Stores, Totman's and Elite Drug Stores, TESTIMONIALS: Denver, Colo. Gentlemen: I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds, I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight is 143 pounds and not a trace of the one trouble remains. I have taken six tables of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly. Colorado Springs, Colo. To Whom It May Concern: I have suffered with my lungs for a long time, after trying different remedies, from which I had lost flesh, and my appetite was more than bad. I tried Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea, being recommended by another sufferer, and to my great happiness I am gaining in weight and my appetite has entirely returned. I feel like a new man; no more drowsy feeling and lack of ambition. How gladly can I sing the praises of Bates' Twentieth Century Tea. GUS TRAVERS. 526 E.

CHORUS DIRECTOR'S REPLY TO MINISTER'S ATTACK ON ASSOCIATION. | Dear Mr. Editor.—Allow me space in your valuable columns to correct a statement of the Rey. J. A, Thos. Hazell of the Peoples’ Presbytertan church which he offered to his con | gregation in reference to the celebra- ‘tion of the Queen City Musical Assn’s anniversary, held on the 24th ult. in this city. I am quite sure that I'm right in quoting this popular minister when I inform your readers that in bringing his church discipline to bear on two of his members, he referred (and that very emphatically) to the association giving “ a public dance under the guise of a musical recital and made other remarks which reflected on the leadership of the organization, thereby impressing his congregation and the public that the action of the asso- ciation tended to deceive and de- fraud members of his innocent flock. In fairness to myself and in justifi- cation to the association, 1 must of fer this correction which at this time is necessary to its reputation and future existence; That the or- ganization advertised for two weeks and more its intention to celebrate its anniversary on the aforemen- tioned date and sent out five hun. dred invitations to its well wishers and’ sympathizers to participate in the celebration; that there was no attempt to deceive or misrepresent the nature of the entertainment, as ‘on the evening of the event the di- rector in his opening remarks care: fully explained the nature of the program, that after the program of eight items was rendered an or- chestra was in attendance which dis- coursed beautiful strains to the de light of the guests of the evening, after due warning was given to the folks present who had such relig: ious scruples as would hinder them from being participants, not to trip a little of the light fantastic, and that after this was done the director and his chorus feel that the attack made on them by this minister is un justifiable and unwarranted. The writer is in a position to state thal of the four hundred and more per- sons that were present that nothing of an unseemly feature transpired and in accordance with this minis ter's repeated statement from his pulpit that neither himself nor his church oppose dancing if done among Christians, 1 hold that as far as our ability to determine goes that the as- sociation felt that in sending out its invitations that it did not include any infidels, agnostics, etc., etc. I hold, therefore, that the public should not be seriously impressed with this min ister’s statement, which tends to im- pede the progress of this organization as his religious tendencies are not ab solutely representative of all denom- inations, and from his subscription in past he cannot and ought not to claim authority on such general issues of the day.

Vice-President Brown of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad has just given out particulars regarding the 1912 budget. The gross expenditures will approx- imate six million dollars, of which two and one-half millions will be spent for equipment and the balance on double track and improvement of terminal fa- cilities. During the past week orders for six- teen Mallet compound locomotives of the articulated type were given the American Locomotive works of Sche nectady, New York, and the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia re- ceived an order for fourteen Mikado type freight locomotives. An addi- tional order for six passenger locomo- tives will be placed with in a few days and also a contract for seven hundred box cars, three hundred fifty coal cars, one hundred stock and fifty cabooses. A contract for nine miles of second track between Castle Gate and Kyune, Utah, has been given the Kilpatrick Bros. of Beatrice, Nebraska. With this stretch completed, Denver & Rio Grande will have a continuous double track line from Helper to Tucker, Utah, a distance of thirty-three and two-tenths miles. Ten thousand tons of eighty-five pound steel rail will be used in relaying track at various points during the coming summer. A large sum of money has been appro- priated for improving terminal and junetion point facilities and much side track will be added during the pres- ent summer. Surveyors are at work permanent- ly locating a new two per cent. line to take the place of the present four per cent. grade on the west side of Sol- dier Summit in Utah. Bids for this work have not yet been asked for, but on completion of the survey, it is anticipated that they will be.

REPAIRING WHILE YOU WAIT WALTER CAMBERS toca Eighteenth St COLORED WAITERS TO GIVE UP POSITIONS Can Remain in New York but Do Not Think It Profitable. RECEIVING BIG MONEY—DURING STRIKE NEGROES GETTING $3 A DAY—GOING TO SUMMER RESORTS—GEORGE W. HOLBERT WRITES. There is very little likelihood that in the future colored waiters will be employed by the leading eating places of New York in large numbers. In fact, within the next week or ten days it is highly probable that there will not be a single colored man carrying a tray in any of the first class hotels or restaurants in Manhattan. At present there are about one hundred negro waiters working in the best hotels, chiefly at the Plaza, Breslin and Marselles. Their exit is expected to take place within a few days as the striking whites are going in, and each day finds many returning to work. The hotel managers, while making some of the concessions asked, have flatly refused to recognize the International Hotel Walters' union. The colored waiters at present employed could hold their jobs if they desired. They have not been notified that their services could not be needed much longer. To the contrary they have been told they could remain as long as they pleased if their work was satisfactory. At the Hotel Breslin the entire crew is composed of colored men and the management has informed them that there was no disposition to make a change unless they wanted to leave. It is claimed by those familiar with conditions that the colored waiters working at the Plaza and other hotels will soon give up their jobs because they can find more profitable situations during the summer at the various resorts throughout the country. Since the colored men were installed in the white eating places they have been paid at a rate of $3 a.day (working seven days) together with their board and lodging. When the white waiters struck they were only getting $25 a month and board, and protested against the quality of food they were compelled to eat. With the strike over, which will be a matter of a few days only, the colored waiters will be offered $30 a month, which is at a rate of $60 less than what they have been receiving during the strike. They do not think they would profit by working in New York at $30 a month and tips, when they can go to a summer resort where business will be good and make $500 during the season. It was given out at the headquarters of the Head and Side Waiters' association in Fifty-third street that the colored waiters do not contemplate affiliating with the International Hotel Waiters' union. Negro waiters throughout the country are showing more than ordinary concern in the proposed conference of colored waiters, although there is a difference of opinion as to what lines should be followed in organizing. George W. Holbert, financial secretary of Local No. 634, Minneapolis, Minn., writes on the subject as follows: In your paper of recent date there appeared an article entitled "A Conference for Colored Walters." The article touched upon things that are so vitally important to us as waiters, that I (being one of the craft) beg leave to offer a few suggestions. I am heartily in favor of organization, but not along the lines as laid down in the article mentioned. If we are being dispensed with every day and everywhere, somebody is taking our places and it must of course be the white waiter. So, just as long as he stands ready to supplant us, all the organizing we can do among ourselves will avail us nothing. Over 50 per cent of the white waiters are unionized, and a great majority of that 50 per cent, are members of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes' International Association and Bartenders' International League of America. This is a very strong organization, embracing as it does all of the practical working force of any average hotel or cafe: namely, cooks, waiters, bartenders and waitresses. Now, it seems to me that if we should amalgamate with these people, the most serious obstacle would be removed—that of their opposition as well as competition. I have given this subject much thought in the past, and as long as ten years ago I was severely criticised by the fellow workers of my race that they were fast losing their prestige and they themselves were as much to blame by their inattention to business, their failure to keep abreast of the improvements in service that are being demanded by the public and by their general deficiency and untidy habits. I declared then that in a few years we would have employment in only second-class places, and maybe not all of them. They laughed at me and said I was crazy. Since that time there have been erected in Minneapolis six first-class hotels, and we stood by with mouths agape as one by one, upon their completion, they were manned by white crews. Volumes could be written upon this subject of the whys and wherefores, but I would rather discuss some practical method of organization and improvement of our service as well as working conditions. And I can prob- ably best do so by giving a synopsis of a little of our local history here. Some time ago I interested enough of my fellow workers to form a union. We did so, starting with 15. One house in which some of us are employed is unionized throughout—cooks, bartenders, waiters and waitresses. Out of this little handful of men have come some truly wonderful changes. We have our own meeting hall where we have weekly meetings, and once every month a general discussion of things pertaining to the good of the service. You can imagine the improvement there has been in that house alone; and it has been diffused around through the other houses, because we have members in every house in the Twin Cities that employs colored waiters, as we have a membership of something near one hundred now. But the two things that have impressed me most are the harmony which exists between the different working departments and the change in working conditions. And so that makes me strong for organization. But I don't believe we can hope for anything by going alone. We must join hands with the white man who is working in our same crafts, and together we can become a powerful force—alone we can never do much. The educational part of our little local and the improvements it has brought about for us in our work and general conduct, have been worth the time and trouble it cost to bring us into existence. And so, if the young men in Kansas City, who are fathering this movement, will give this their earnest and honest thought, they will see that an affiliation with this international would be far the more effective. CABLE WINS INTERCOL LIGATE HAMMER THROW COLORED STUDENT AT HARVARD MAKES LONGEST THROW EXCEPT ONE EVER BY COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES—NEARLY EQUALS BEST THROW EVER —QUARTER-MILE RECORD HELD BY COLORED RUNNER IS BEATEN. Philadelphia.—Pennsylvania was the winner of the inter-collegiate track and field championship meeting with 28 points, and while the Quakers won the greatest number of points, it was not its victory that caused any great surprise. This latter was furnished by the men of other colleges, who figured in bettering records and continuing to make the chances of American athletics who are to compete at Sweden this summer an almost assured victory. Cable of Harvard showed the effects of Coach Quinn's instructions by tossing the hammer further than at any time since John De Witt made the intercollegiate records. Mercer's running broad jump was also noteworthy in that he only took one try. In the quarter, C. D. Reidpath of Syracuse had to do 48 seconds flat or four-fifths of a second faster than that of Taylor of Pennsylvania back in 1907, and of D. B. Young of Amherst last May. Although records in five events were shattered, that did not end the list of remarkable performances that more than 8,000 went wildly excited over this afternoon. Cable of Harvard, by throwing the hammer 162 ft. $4\frac{1}{2}$ in. made the best throw ever made in the intercollegiate games in 37 meetings, except that of 164 ft. 10 in. which Dewitt of Princeton established as an intercollegiate mark in 1902. BACK TO THE FARM It is a hopeful sign to see the executive committee of the National Bankers' association using efforts to promote agricultural education, editorially asserts The Reformer, of Richmond, Va. Thus we see that those who are suffering from the high cost of living are not the only ones who are advocating a return to the soil for a livelihood, and converts are springing up in all parts of the country. Railroads all over this and other states are distributing information concerning farm lands, because the more farms operated means more business for them. On the same principle the bankers reason that the tilling of waste lands means more money to be handled in deposits and improvements. Agricultural education is doing much to keep the farmer in the country and to send him congenial company. It is bringing about that efficiency that makes farming as much a business as regards details as any other. The technical education given its seeds and soil by Hampton, Tuskegee and other schools for the colored youth will continue to populate deserted farms and cause the desert places to "bloom like a rose." Much attention is being paid to education and in many cases where the inhabitants gave poor educational facilities as the cause for leaving their "happy homes" conditions have changed. Educational, financial and social problems have been solved and distaste for country life has disappeared WISE RATS.

COLORED CUBAN GENERAL SAYS NO SUCH THING POSSIBLE IN CUBA AS ALL WOULD BE ON ONE SIDE EXCEPT FOR FOREIGNERS —HAS WHITE SOLDIERS IN RANKS FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS—MOB ATTACKS ON WOMEN. Emphatically denying that the present struggle in Cuba is a race war, and declaring that he has a number of whites in his ranks and that his followers would rather be governed by strangers than by Cuban methods, as in the past, Gen. Estenoz has issued a formal statement to the United States government. The message was brought from the rebel headquarters to the American consulate at Santiago by George Collister, the American ranch owner, who was reported captured. The statement made public at the state department is declared to be the first one of its kind issued from the rebel headquarters. It reads, in part as follows: "The negro under the present conditions in this country has no chance and the object of the warfare which we are now carrying on is to secure for him the civic rights to which he, in connection with other Cubans, is entitled under the constitution of the republic of Cuba, and for which he fought during so many years. The warfare we are carrying on is a civilized warfare. We are neither robbing nor molesting women. We are not murdering white people, nor have we any intention of doing so, although the Cuban government is constantly stating that such is our purpose. We are not making war against foreigners and we hope that they will not take sides in this conflict. "I have learned that the American mining companies have armed their Gallego laborers, and I have warned them not to permit these men to enter the fight against us, for it they do so, we shall retaliate by killing every Gallego on whom we can lay our hands. "The present government of Cuba has endeavored to convince the people that the present is a race war. This, however, is false, as evidenced by the fact that in our ranks we have many white men, and that in Cuba a race war would be an absolute impossibility, for, with the exception of a few white foreigners, all would be on one side. It was for the purpose of notifying the world that I had undertaken and was conducting a revolution in Cuba that I burned the buildings of the Spanish American Iron company. "I regretted the necessity for this action and also the taking of such property as arms, horses, saddles, etc., but for the success of the enterprise it was absolutely necessary to obtain these things, as it would be impossible to carry on a revolution merely by organizing a band of men and quietly sitting under a mango tree. "Any agreement that I might make with the government of Cuba for the sittlement of this affair would have to be concluded in the presence of a representative of the United States of America and only upon the assurance of this representative that the United States would guarantee the absolute fulfillment by the Cuban government of the agreement, as the officials of that government have made many promises to me in the past and so far none of them have been fulfilled. We ask only for our rights as citizens and we hope the American people will comprehend our position and will study the matter with great care before they become satisfied that it is necessary to intervene." George Collister, the American owner of a ranch at Sigua, near Diauplier, who was reported to have been held for ransom by the insurgents, has arrived here. He tells an interesting story of the experiences of himself and his partner, Mr. Wheeler, in the insurgent camp. On May 30 four armed negroes arrived at their ranch. They requested horses for the rebels, then camped at Alta Gracia and when they departed took six horses with them. Later a mesenger arrived from the rebel headquarters and informed Collister and Wheeler that Generals Colnoz and Ivonet desired to see them. They proceeded to the rebel camp, and General Estenoz made profuse apologies for taking their horses, but said that he had been compelled to do so. Estenoz assured them that the insurgents would not disturb their ranch, as they were carrying on civilized warfare. He added that he had been compelled to destroy property at Dalquirl in order to show the world that they were engaged in a revolution, but denied that the was fighting against foreigners. The movement was aimed entirely against the Cuban government. The rebel leader declared that he would allow none of his men to commit any outrage, and promised that all found guilty of such acts would be punished. He thanked the Americans for visiting him and escorted them beyond the outposts, from which they reached home without difficulty. EMERGENCY SWEETS.

A LACK OF FAIRNESS AND POISE SHOWN, BY THE AVERAGE NEGRO ON REACHING A PLACE OF DISTINCTION AND POWER — THE YOUNG NEGRO MAY SCHOOL HIMSELF TO AVOID WRECKING HIS LIFE ON THE HIDDEN ROCKS OF AUSTERITY AND CONCEIT. Editorial Contribution to the Southern Life, Magazine. Respect for the opinions of others is something to which we cannot all lay claim. It is not by any means necessary that each individual in this world should read Blackstone's Commentaries in order to get a clear idea of a person's individual rights and privileges—those he is entitled to demand for no reason other than that his is a sane human being. It ought to be necessary only to call the attention of any warped, blased intellect to the necessity, for his own future good, of thinking and meditating on the solemn truths proving that every person, ignorant or intelligent, is due a hearing when he is concerned and desires it, and that according to the teaching of Christianity and of civilization generally, every person's opinions ought to be considered and at least be respected as his right to them even though they cannot be accepted. The infidel, sceptic or agnostic has a right to express the conclusions of his reasonings; so has the anarchist. It seems to us that we need be seriously concerned in our treatment of any one only in so far as that person allows his opinions to influence his actions toward us or toward his fellowman generally. We feel safe in concluding that there is never an excuse for contemptuously disregarding, discounting or villifying any individual because of his thoughts or opinions merely. It must be admitted that it is every one's unhindered right to think, and to express his thoughts should be see fit so to do. We fear that the negro can lay a far smaller claim to a share of this full realization of individual rights than can any other race of people. Imposed upon most unreasonably when a slave, legislated against as a freeman and treated as though he landed upon this earth accidentally from some other planet, the average black man today finds himself falling out repeatedly with his neighbors who may chance to entertain opinions at variance to his own. It seems to be a natural result following past lessons taught him when he was powerless to decide what he wished to learn. On coming into possession of a little authority we find the average negro overbearing; not wearing his honors with becoming grace and humility. We find him often discounting the wishes, desires or demands of his subordinates, and falling out entirely with any who might entertain thoughts and opinions that cannot coincide with his own. Unreasonableness often holds sway in his decisions and actions. The young negro who is gradually gaining a place in the world, is hereby warned that if he wishes permanently to retain influence with his fellows and enjoy their highest respect and esteem, he must ever be watchful to retain his poise and equilibrium; not to become haughty, domineering and tyrannical, but to remember that the possession of power gives him no further right to treat people as people treat cattle, than he had when first he was born. Every aspirant for place and position should hold in mind that however strong are his convictions in any direction, there exist diametrically opposite convictions, just as strong as his, and the persons possessing them have a perfect right to them, and not only can but should expect decent treatment from him in spite of these differences. Any one who cannot see the wisdom of these observations is narrow indeed. And he who will not be influenced by the advice here given must be a hopeless case and a coming tyrant. We feel that the young negro especially needs to learn these lessons. He ought never forget that whatever other way his feelings dictate, he is unreasonable when he falls out with a fellow because he beats him in an argument. FASHION DEMANDS THE TOUCH OF BRIGHT COLOR The day of the pure white costume has passed, for to be fully fashionable there must be a touch of color on the frock. A ribbon girdle, a panel sash in back, a large bow of velvet or satin ribbon, a cluster of artificial posies, buttons, chemisette and undersleeves or ribbon trimming or looping up the drapery or pannier are most effectively employed on the immaculate lingerie frock of lace or embroidery. Colored taffeta, satin and velvet are also being introduced on the imported lace blouses for summer wear. JEWELED BUTTONS ENLIVEN THIS GOWN. White satin tailored gowns with trim, simple lines, are garnished with brilliant jeweled buttons. The lapped skirt of this white satin gown fastens with three huge coral and rhinestone buttons and there is a neckline of coral silk above two rows of small rhinestone buttons on the bodice. Magpie boots with buttoned tops of white calf accompany the gown. Furnished Rooms And the Old Reliable SHORT ORDERS AT ALL hoe Street. THE MONARCH LIQUOR COMPANY 1841-45 Arapahoe Street.

STEVENS BILL DEFEATED MANY WHO SUFFERED DAMAGE IN EARLY DAYS WERE NOT U. S. CITIZENS. Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington.—The likelihood of Congress authorizing the payment of something like $53,000,000 in claims presented by western people, arising out of Indian depredations in the early days, was given an additional setback this session by the defeat of the Stevens bill in the House. For years these claims have been before Congress for recognition but have failed, and in all probability they will never be paid. Objection to the payment of these claims arises from the fact that those who lost were not at the time citizens of the United States, or that the depredations were not committed when the Indians were actually on the war-path. The Stevens bill sought to authorize payment to some of the holders of these claims through changing the present law to include "inhabitants" instead of "citizens," but the House refused to enact even the modified form. Many who suffered damage from Indian depredations in the early days were not at that time citizens of the United States, although long since naturalized. These, under the present law, are shut out from prosecuting their claims, although they are perfectly valid in other respects. As a result of the present law requiring proof of citizenship before commencing action in the Court of Claims for recovery from Indian depredations some queer circumstances have developed. One claimant was a delegate in Congress from Arizona but was not allowed to sue because he could not produce proof of his deceased father's naturalization in New York. Others who had exercised all the rights of citizenship for years some of whom had held county and state offices, were denied the right to sue out Indian depredation claims because of a lack of proof of citizenship demanded. Board Ordered to Honolulu. Washington.-Broad plans of the army and navy joint board for the creation of an impregnable naval and military station in the Pacific have taken form in an order just issued for the appointment of a board of army of fcers to meet at Honolulu July 31. The board consists of Brig. Gen Montgomery M. Macomb, Lieut. Col John F. Morrison, Twenty-first infantry, and Maj. George Blakeley, Coast artillery. It is instructed "to study the military problem of Oahu (upon which island Honolulu is located), to determine the proper system of mobile defense and the necessary garrison and to report upon mortar batteries and other fixed defenses as a subordinate phase of the general problem of defense."

FORCE IN INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER A PREREQUISITE TO HIGHER CIVILIZATION As an agent of God force has effected the changes of the earth; clothed in cyclone it has laid waste districts; gliding among the drops of water it has cut canyons through mountains. It has calmed the seas and storms. It has climbed the heavens and searched out the mysteries of the stars. It has harnessed the lightning, and bids the rocks dissolve. It has summoned the secret atoms to give up their names and laws. It has subdued the face of the world, and compelled the waters and fire to become servants. In short, God through force executes all that is included in history, showing his tremendous energy in almost everything that stirs the silence and changes the condition of the world. Everything is transformed by him, even to the stars. Its existence is recognized in concrete things of nature. Under its influence the world has been marching to the goal of true development through the ages. Force has put an end to the old an introduction the new; it has established and destroyed empires. Through one individual it has effected revolutions; through another it has brought about reformation. Each of these individuals is a concrete form of force. Individual character has copied from the rocks a record of prehistoric times. From facts and confused speculation, systems of philosophy have been devised by individuals of unique character. These exceptional characters have been distributed through the centuries. Through one at a time it seems that God has operated in his dealings with the world. For a while the world plvoted on the first man Adam, then on courageous Noah, next on godly Moses, again on the characters of David and Nehemiah. Rameses II. decided the course of Egypt and nations beyond its border for a series of centuries. Sagon and Nebuchadnezzar were exceptional characters and settled the fate of empires in the east for successive generations. Alexander of Macedon changed the whole face of the world and stamped it indelibly with his character. Caesar, Alfred, Charlemagne, Peter the Great, Cromwell, Napoleon, Washington, Toussaint L'Overture, were men of exceptional character. They were the great powers in the world's movements during that period. Today their influences are felt, and they live though they are dead. A UTOPIA WITHOUT CASTE. A UTOPIA WITHOUT CASTE. The advancement of one race or age is a legacy for succeeding generations. Looking through the telescope of the future, we can see another generation entering the battle of life. A new empire rises in the distance—the climax of terrestrial government, an exhibition of the blessings of Christianity to the world. In this empire the caste system will be driven from its lofty throne, its institution of moral evils shall be demolished and political corruption restrained by the scepter of righteousness. This shall be brought about through the instrumentality of individual character. Through Caesar came the Roman empire, through Washington the republic. With more characters like Livingstone, Lull, Prince Henry and Moffat, Africa, China, India and Japan will burst forth with the buds of promise like the forests of an arctic springtime. From the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt is one long missionary highway: From Scotland, by the Mediterranean and Red seas to the Himalayas and the Pacific ocean, is another. The islands of the sea are being dragged reluctantly into the mighty march of Christianity. This ideal institution was established by individual character, for individuality as a force among the world forces, is not confined to any race or clime. Ethiopia had its Tirkahah, Egypt its Rameses, Babylon its Nebuchadnezzar, China its Confucius, India its Buddha, Greece its Socrates, Rome its Caesar and Cicero, England its Cromwell, France its Napoleon, and America its Washington, Lincoln and Douglas. Upon the arena of the future must appear in like manner actors of every race. If the black man, the pioneer of civilization, would place his name upon the annals of the world's history, he must play his part well; he must spend, as other men, years of toilous labor in preparation for this stupendous task, for you can readily see that the happy and welcome participant in the march of the sublimer age will be the man or woman of exceptional character regardless of color. Poets are born, but few of these characters are. The greater number are developed by external force brought to bear on the soul. Should you ask for an example? I point with pride to the lives of Booker T. Washington and Samuel Morris. We should each strive to be a force in directing the youth of the land to greatness and future usefulness. OUR YOUTH DESERVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. The Afro-American boys needs encouragement. That his ancestors led the world in science, art and government for more than two thousand years has not been taught to him. What he is, he is because he could not be anything else. He has risen because he could not stay down. But what he is points to a far greater ancestry. It was Volney who said, "How strange that to the race now our slaves and our object of extreme contempt, we owe our science and our very speech." There are many theories about the negro that are not in harmony with facts. They, like the Ptolemic theory of the solar system that swayed the world for more than fifteen centuries, ere long shall fall into disrepute. INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER NEEDED FOR AFRICA. The question may be asked why Africa is so low if it has been so high? I would answer, for the same reason that Babylon has fall, into obscurity. Dally we can see Christ coming to the world and to every Christian. What Africa needs today is more individual character—men of learning and moral firmness; men who can wake up the race to the possibilities that are theirs; men whose eloquence and logic will move nations to espouse the cause of Christianity as Luther stirred Germany against Catholicism. We need men to stand in the struggle between the whites and blacks of this country. Read, if you please, the "Talks of the Times." I repeat it: We need men of exceptional character to usher in the bright days that are now peeping over the parched mountain of human need. Shall the negro have a chance? Shall there be lifted up a Moses to the oppressed? Let every one answer to his own soul. Though many of us may sink beneath the scorching suns of Africa and our bodies deposited beneath the burning sands, none of this should discourage us. We should remember the words of Melville B. Cox, one among the first missionaries to Africa, who when passing from that benighted land to an eternal land of rest, uttered the immortal words: "Let a thousand fall, but let not Africa be given up." Let us put forth more zeal than ever to make a Christian and civilized world out of Africa. Go teach all nations; fear neither the difficulties of foreign tongues, nor the differences of manners, nor the power of secular governments. Consult not the course of rivers nor the direction of mountain ranges. Go straight; go as the thunder of him who sent you; as the creative word went, which carried life into chaos; as the eagles go, and the angels.—Southern Life Magazine. MY PROMISE TO GOD. I can never forget how I used to go to fields and gather daisies. Just like that I can go into the beautiful garden of God's word and collect the promises of my heavenly Father. There is a peculiar delight in coming upon these sweet messages, each of which is full of good wishes for me. Their blessed sympathy touches my heart when it is sore and tired. They turn many a darkened hour into sunshine. Whenever a promise braids itself into my life it becomes mine. I never read it without feeling it is mine. The collection of a rich assortment of these heavenly daisies is one of the best accomplishments of a Christian life. How they pour out their eloquent appeals when trial comes! But, there is another side to this. It relates to my making promises. Is there any virtue in this? I remember how I felt, when a little child, I got a promise from my parent, and how it filled me with pleasure, and made that parent look "big" in my eyes, and how I at once connected promise and fulfillment. Love always has longings, even in God. What would God like of me? Is it in my heart to gratify God? How long can I sit thus and not find myself, for very love's sake, making him a promise? It is natural for love to promise. In idle promises there's nothing to praise. But deep, earnest love like mine is not idle, by any means. "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength I promise him."—Frederick B. Greul, in The Watchman. GLORY OF THE MOUNTAINS. No lowlander can appreciate the mountain appetite and the facility with which heavy food called "grub" is disposed of. Eating, walking, resting, seem allike delightful, and one feels inclined to shout lustily on rising in the morning like a crowing cock—sleep and digestion as clear as the air. Fine spicy plush boughs for bedding we shall have tonight, and a glorious lullaby we shall have from this cascading creek. Never was stream more fittingly named, for as far as I have traced it above and below our camp it is one continuous, bouncing, dancing white bloom of cascades. And at the very last, unwearied, it finishes its wild course in a grand leap of 300 feet or more to the bottom of the main Yosemite canyon near the fall of Tamarack creek a few miles below the foot of the valley.—From John Muir's "My First Summer in the Sierras." THE LAMPREY'S NEST The nest building efforts of the common lemprey eel show a degree of cleverness that is very wonderful. When the nesting time comes the fish leave the coast water and make their way up river. There at a likely spot upon the bottom the two eels proceed to build a nest with stones for spawning. the stones being brought in the creatures' mouths and deposited in the form of a heap. When a large stone is wanted the fish combine and gripping it with their mouths by suction, carry it together and deposit it upon the heap, which may attain a height of two or three feet.—London Tit-Bits. GREEN, NOT WHITE A wealthy American girl was attending a social function at a country house in England. "You American girls have not such healthy complexions as we have," said an English duchess to the girl. "I all ways wonder why our noblemen take a fancy to your white faces." "It isn't our white faces that at tracts them." responded the Ameri can; it's our greenbacks."—Judge. COLORED WOMEN IN LITERATURE Phillis Wheatley First and Foremost of Them All. SHOULD RUN WEEKLY PAPER—CURSORY GLANCE AT THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF SOME OF THE MANY BRILLIANT WOMEN OF THE RACE WHO HAVE MADE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN LETTERS — FUTURE POSSIBILITIES POINTED OUT. First and foremost, of course, stands Phillis Wheatley, the poetess of the revolutionary period. Any mention of colored women as writers would be incomplete without her. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper of Maryland was one of the sweetest of our women poets. Her poem, "The Burial of Moses," will rank with any similar poem of its character in the English language. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is a schoolteacher in Washington, with the mind of a wise statesman. Her book "A Voice From the South" is a most valuable contribution to race literature. Mrs. Josephine Heard, Charlotte Forten Grimke, Miss H, Cardelia Ray and her sister, Miss Florence Ray, are also poets. Mrs. Heard, who is the wife of a former minister to Africa, wrote a very readable volume of poems entitled "Morning Glories." Mrs. Grimke has written many very beautiful poems, one of them a masterpiece, entitled "Charles Sumner." The Misses Cordelia and Florence Ray have recently published a volume of poems, which they have dedicated to their father, the late Dr. Charles B. Ray. The wife of Dr. Harvey Johnson, Baltimore's leading Baptist clergyman, is a writer of stories suitable for Sunday school libraries. The American Baptist Publication society paid her a handsome sum a few years ago for two books from her pen. Mrs. Johnson is a fine French scholar. Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, has published an interesting autobiography of her labors in Africa, England and the United States. "Poor Ben" is the title of a biographical sketch of the late Bishop Arnett, from the pen of Miss Lucretia Coleman. Ida B. Wells Barnett in journalism wielded a trenchant pen twenty or thirty years ago, and her right hand has not yet lost its cunning, for she is now editing a weekly newspaper in Chicago as Mrs. Barnett. There used to be several other papers edited by our women. Ringwood's Magazine was an ambitious undertaking and a creditable production. The Woman Era was edited in Boston by Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin. There are any number of careful and brilliant women correspondents, some of whom have done and are doing good work on race papers and papers published by white people. Miss Ida Griffin was for a number of years editor of a periodical devoted to the interests of the home and fashion, which circulated largely in the south. Mrs. Mary C. Lawton, wife of Rev. Dr. William R. Lawton, the successful pastor of St. James' Presbyterian church in New York, contributes regularly to a Brooklyn daily, the Standard Union, and Mrs. Lydia C. Smith is regularly employed by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. For eleven years Mrs. Smith has reported the daily happenings among our people in Great New York for the Eagle. She is secretary of the woman's auxiliary board of managers of the Howard Colored Orphan asylum and vice president of the Fifty-third Street (New York) Young Women's Christian association. There are bright women enough in the race to have a paper all their own, just as their white sisters have, and it is hoped that they will get together and think about it. There are enough women societies of one sort and another to support a paper independent of any help from men, for there are even compositors among our women, as well as writers, poets and lecturers. AN ORNAMENT TO SOCIETY. A society woman was commenting on the way different people act under embarrassing circumstances, some stammering excuses and acting like fools, while others take it as coolly as though nothing had happened. "I never see any one embarrassed that I do not think of what happened at my home one evening when I was giving a dinner party," she said. "We had almost reached the final course when chocolate was served my guests. It was steaming hot, but the whipped cream gave it a different appearance. The young man of whom I am speaking was engrossed in conversation with one of the debutantes and did not notice the chocolate was hot. He took one gulp, and then what happened I will never forget. "He merely turned his head to one side and spat the chocolate on the new wall paper. Not in the least embarrassed, he turned to the guests and remarked: "Now, don't you know that some fools would have swallowed it? It was so funny that we were all forced to laugh."—Louisville Times. WHEN TO GATHER APPLES Even though he may not be well versed in fruiticulture, the average schoolboy knows full well that the best time to gather apples is when the dog is chained up.—The Tattler. WIT AND HUMOR A WITTY RETORT. John McCormack, the Irish tenor, told the following story on himself at a dinner of the Irish society in New York recently: "My wife and I had been entertained at dinner by Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul," said Mr. McCormack. "After the dinner my wife and I both sang for the prelate, and when Mrs. McCormack had finished the archbishop turned to me and said, 'You should be very proud of such a talented wife.' "Indeed, I am.' I replied with enthusiasm. "This is the first time he ever made such a confession,' said my wife, looking at the archbishop with a twinkle in her eye. "He couldn't make a confession in a better place,' remarked one of the guests, indicating the archbishop. "True,' smiled the prelate, 'but I cannot forgive him, because he isn't sorry for it.'" WOULDN'T LIE ABOUT GOLF. Grizzly Adams fell in with Opie Read and Bill Sterrett at Dallas. A three-handed golf match was suggested, and the first hole had been played. The second hole was beyond an abandoned quarry, crossed by a bridge. It took only an ordinary drive to be safe, and Adams made it easily. He was followed by Sterrett, and both were on their way when Read unlimbered. He silced his drive and the ball went into the quarry, where Opie descended laboriously. Adams and Sterrett presently heard a succession of whacks, and after a bit the ball came out, with Read in hot pursuit. "How many strokes in the quarry?" asked Grizzly. "Three," said Opie. Adam turned to Sterrett, and they both laughed. "Why," said he, "Bill and I heard six plainly. "I know," said Opie, "but three of them were echoes."—Chicago Post. A DIFFICULT POSE. Sir Luke Filder, the noted English artist, told a comical story of one of his models for his picture "The Village Wedding." As a model for the bridegroom he had engaged a villager, and, as the man had never "posed" before, Sir Luke warned him not to move on any account. Soon after the sitting began Sir Luke noticed that his model was not looking very well, and he suspended work for a little to let the man rest. Soon after they had started work again the man's eyes began to bulge from his head, and he appeared to be on the verge of a collapse. "You don't seem well," Sir Luke remarked sympathetically. "Non, zurt!" gasped the man. "Does the pose tire you?" the artist asked. "Noa, zur; taint that, what does it; it's the holdin' me breath so long!" The unfortunate man had somehow got the idea that "not to move on any account" included that he mustn't breathe. FEMININE ECONOMY. "What, a new Panama?" "Yes." "How much did you pay for that?" "Seven-fifty." "Seven-fifty for a straw hat? Why, the papers are full of advertisements of straw hats that you can get for $2. And they're good straw hats, too." "But I can wear this hat for several years." "You men are the silliest things about styles. You'll pay seven-fifty for a Panama hat when you can get a perfectly splendid straw for $3. Why don't you practice some of the economy you talk about so much?" "How much did you pay for your new hat?" he asked feebly. "I want you to understand that I saved $7 on my hat. It was $38, but I stood and argued with the proprietor until he let me have it for $31." THE CIRCULATION OF ORATORY On one occasion Senator Tillman was so much pleased with a speech he made that he printed it in pamphlet form. "I congratulate you," Senator Bailey said a few days after, "on that speech which you have circulated as a pamphlet. I happened to see one this morning, and it contained some of the best things I have ever seen in any pamphlet on that subject." "I am very proud to hear you say so," said Tillman, much gratified. "What were the things that pleased you so much?" "Why," explained Bailey, "as I passed the senate restaurant this morning I saw a girl come out into the corridor with two cherry pies wrapped up in it."—Popular Magazine. A MAN WITH A HISTORY. "There goes a man with a very interesting history." said one assistant librarian to another. "You don't say so." said the other. "How do you know?" "I've just given it to him!" was the reply.

HOTEL ABBOFT HOTEL BREWING Denver, Colo Denver, Colo How French Woman of Fashion Has Utilized the Panier Idea THE FASHION WEEKLY Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. The picture shows the panier gown in evidence at the Auteuil races, near Paris. The panier effect was produced by a black English contilike affair of pompadour silk, suggesting our grandmothers' silk dresses, over an underbody of flowered black lace. STRAW HATS WORN IN PARIS Pretty Vogues Are in Style for Wear Both in Morning and Afternoon. In Paris now the postillion and Girondin straw hats are the accepted vogue for morning wear, and women copying the example set by the Empress Eugenie some fifty years ago, twist their hair low in the nage of the neck and present a very trim and fascinating appearance The Marquis is fashionable for afternoon occasions and is not invariably trimmed with the upstart plume, though in many cases the brim is held upwards by a feather or a handful of wired loops starting from a small bow, and in some instances is also edged or bound with ostrich feathers. All the tailor-made hats and those that share the chief essential of that chapeau—namely its studious neatness—are made of very simple straws. The closely woven chip is deemed a most desirable medium for the making of the bowler, the Girondin, and the Marquis models. The colors chosen are masculine in their sobriety. Beautiful Neck a Necessity. The collarless blouse has done much to improve the shape and color of the throat of those who have patronized it for some time past, and it is not surprising that, having achieved that rare beauty, a perfectly modeled neck, girls are loth to abandon the corsage that discloses it. Instead of accepting the high throat band rigidly wired to keep it in place, they are declaring their adhesion to the corsage without a collar, and are about to wear it very much more open in front than it was this time last year, with a tulle transparency if a covering is required for the outdoor toilette. Coloring Lace. Very frequently we desire to give that rich, old ivory tone to white laces. This may be accomplished by the following method: Place a pan in five cents' worth of yellow ochre. Mix with this sufficient rice powder to produce the desired shade. Shake the lace into this, and after removing brush away all loose dirt. The lace will retain the yellowish tint indefinitely. The Newest Hat. The Girondin is the newest hat shape which has made its appearance in Paris. It is remarkable for its simplicity in trimming. Narrow velvet ribbon, which is extremely fashionable, encircles the crown and is tied in a small bow at the back, while in front it is supplemented with an upstanding ostrich plume or a high cockade ribbon or flowers. Outside Waist Finish. Samples of high-grade waists will be complete within the next two weeks, and these will include a good showing of dressy styles finished to wear outside the skirt, says the Dry Foods Economist. The crushed satin girdle that was used on some of the high-class garments last season took so well that it will be again featured in the new lines. Simple Dress That Makes for Both Appearance and Comfort During the Hot Days. Spotted Swiss muslin is used here. The upper part of skirt is of the muslin, scalloped and buttonholed at the edge with a floral design embroidered above; two frills of plain embroidered muslin with a piece of the spotted between them, compose the remainder of the skirt. The bodice has a yoke of finely tucked muslin, with a frill turning from 1 the side and an embroidered edge resting on the left. The sleeves are drawn into embroidered bands. A colored ribbon encircles the waist. Hat of Tagel, trimmed to frills of silk standing up with a wreath of flowers beneath. Materialls required: 5 yards spotted muslin 28 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ dozen yards flouncing 18 inches wide. Mismated Hooks and Eyes. The woman who ambles along complacently with plaque or waist unfastened may not be as careless as she looks. It may be that she has fastened the gaping parts religiously, but that the hooks and eyes were not intended for each other. Many women, when the loss of a hook is discovered, sew on any one that happens to be handy, instead of looking for one that matches the eye, and the result is a speedy divorce, with or without a public scandal.
