PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY JACK JOHNSON'S CAFE VOL. XVIII. Mr. Jack Johnson, champion heavy weight pugilist of the world, opened the Cafe de Champion (formerly the Old Palace), 41 West 31st street Wednesday night. Fresh from his victory at Las Vegas and with the memory of Reno no doubt still in his mind, the champion, however, experienced one of the happiest moments in his life when he viewed a solid mass of his friends that filled 35th street from State street to Armour avenue awaiting a view of his place. This was at 9 p.m. Many of them had stood there since noon while an army of workmen worked like demons to get the establishment in a semblance for the time of opening which was announced for 9 o'clock. Crowd Jams Street The crowds that had lingered all day watching the final preparations became so dense after dark that street car traffic was hampered and the police detail kept busy in keeping sidewalks open; but the crowd was a jovial one. There was no disorder; all they wanted was to see their peerless hero and get a glimpse of his cafe that had been made unduly prominent by a lot of sensational stories in the daily newspapers. Numerous street vendors paraded their novelties in and out of the crowd. The most popular of these novelties was a miniature frying pan with a piece of bacon in it typifying that wonderful telegram that encouraged the now undefeatable Mr. Johnson when his mother wired, "be sure and bring home the bacon." Champion Opens Festivities Champion Opens Festivities It was shortly after nine o'clock when the champion, accompanied by his mother, arrived in one of his famous racing machines. His coming brought forth the mighty cheer and it took the united strength of two policemen to get the champion to the door of his place. Inside there was an air of expectancy that was only satisfied with his appearance. The word was at once given and the Cafe de Champion was opened. Contrary to all expectations Mr. Johnson had nothing to say, but contented himself in listening to an elaborate program of music and song and viewing the vast crowd that filled every available place as soon as the door was opened. W. H. Taylor's orchestra held forth in the down stairs buffet, while a piano was the music in the cafe above. Among the entertainers were such pleasing singers as Miss Ermerald Stathem, Miss Eth- el Marlowe, Leola Johnson, Alberta Peifer and Sidney Kirkpatrick. The Beautiful Interior. Those familiar with old Palace marveled at the wonderful transformation. On the main floor the stage that occupied the south end han been removed and the whole converted into as pretty a room as can be found in Chicago. The delicately tinted walls and ceiling, the brilliant chandeliers and the exceptionally fine equipment of the room pleased the most fastidious. But the real beauty of this room is the large oil paintings that adorn the walls. They are all life size. There is one of the champion embracing his mother, one alone in ring costume, and another of himself and wife. This latter picture was taken in the winter time and shows Mr. Johnson and his wife in their magnificent furs. In addition there is another large painting taking up a half section of the room which is said to have cost $5,000. In a smaller frame is a picture of his lamented father. The cafe takes up the entire second floor, here as below everything is upon the most elaborate scale. The decorations are principally in red with touches of gold. There is the same profuse decorations in oil paintings. Here the Cafe de Champion expects to excel the famous establishments throughout the world in the serving of the choice and rare viands. In the bay window stood two large flower horseshoes, one from the Falstaff Brewing company and another without a card, but which it was understood was a gift from Sol Van Pragg. It was an occasion long to be remembered and there were none happier than Mrs. Tiny Johnson, the champion's mother. The third floor of the building, it is understood, has been fitted up for the exclusive use of the champion and his wife. Mr. Henry C. Starrett is the manager, and Mr. Wm. Marshall is the assistant manager. These two gentlemen are life-long friends of Mr. Johnson and through them he expects to give the public the best of service. Behind the bar Mort Shoecraft looms up radiant and smiling as the head bartender. The other mixologists are Bob Corothers, Bud Reid, Al Keith and Wm. Perry. Henry Johnson is cashier, while Earl Walker has charge of the large downstairs room. A much prized gift was a sou- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 20 1912.

The program is well gotten up, has cuts of the champion in many poses, and the most interesting story of Jack Johnson has been my pleasure to read. Although many of the daily newspapers delighted in quoting the champion in "dis and dat" and tried to be funny in a silly story about the cuspidors, yet they found Mr. Johnson the most popular man in the city of Chicago. It is not often that the mere opening of a cafe on a side street off the main line can attract the crowds that gathered to see the opening of the Cafe de Champion. —Chicago Defender. NATIONAL INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE SPLITS Philadephia, July 6. 1912. —The convention of the National Independent Political League, which is composed of Colored men, broke up yesterday afternoon with the withdrawal of nearly all the officers when a majority of the delegates voted down a motion to disband on the ground that the organization, by supporting Colonel Roosevelt, had reversed its original purposes. It was proposed by motion to condemn Colonel Roosevelt for Brownsville discharge, but when the majority rejected this six of the officers, with a few followers, left the Zion Baptist church, Thirteenth and Wallace streets, and held a meeting at 1234 Melon St., and there decided to call a new convention composed of those adherents who are willing to stand by the the original principales of the league, to oppose both Roosevelt and Taft. After the break the majority attempted to persuade the officers and their followers to remain, but they left the convention after charging openly on the floor that the convention was dominated by men who tried to induce Colored delegates to break their pledges and vote for Roosevelt at Chicago. The officers who left the convention were Rev. James Milton Waldron, of Washington, first president, re-elected national organizer; W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, re-elected corresponding secretary and editor of the league's organ, the "Guardian"; William D. Johnson, of Winchester, Mass., a founder, elected second vice president; Rev. Byron Gunner of New York, a founder elected fourth vice president; Emery T. Morris, of Cambridge, Mass., national committeeman for three years, and a few delegates and minor officers. Those who have left the convention were especially bitter, and --- last night W. Monroe Trotter declared that they were opposed to both Taft and Roosevelt, since in the original draft of principles of the league they condemned both as candidates for the presidency owing to the Brownville discharges. At their meeting after the break the bolters elected Mr. Gunner president and the others to their respective offices, adding W. W. Wilkerson, of Jamaica Plain, Mass. as treasurer. The majority body abjourned after considering the resolution presented to them by the minority members. They are headed by J. R. Clifford, of West Virginia, and will probably organize a party composed of Colored men to fuse with the third party. There are about twenty-five men in the majority faction of the convention. ANNOUNCEMENT Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand from all parts of the United States and many portions of the Old World for accurate and concise information in regard to the history, progress and present status of the Negro Race. It is based to a large extent on the inquiries that have come to the Institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head. Among the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911." "The Economic Progress of the Negro." "The Negro in the Religious Field." "Negro Education." "Negro Soldiers and Heroes." "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro Banks, Negro Towns, Business Leagues, Hospitals, Newspapers, and National and Fraternal Organizations. There are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book which is bound in paper has 229 pages. The information is arranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years a price of 25 cents has been placed upon it, postage, 5 cents. Any one desiring a copy of this book, send your name and address to The Colorado Statesman, P. O. Box 116 or call at the office, 1824 Curtis Street, Room 25. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES On July 4th the Park Commissioners of Nashville and the Mayor dedicated to the Negroes of Nashville a 34-acre plot of land situated in the northwest section of the city to be known as Hadley Park. The weather was inclement; but despite this a representative crowd assembled to witness the dedication. In Oklahoma, it is reported that that three colored women are very wealthy through the ownership of land in the oil district. Miss Isabelle Lewis owns eighty acres, which promises an income of nearly $400,000 a year. Miss Josephine Morris owns one hundred and fifty acres and has accumulated several million dollars. Mrs. Glenn and her daughters have an income of over $100,000. Joseph Welsh, Illinois Avenue, Jeffersonville, Indiana, is quite a successful business man. For over twenty-two years he has been dealing in real estate and the junk business, and, as a result of his efforts, he is the owner of eleven houses and a half dozen vacant lots in the city. J. T. Oliver of the same city is the proprietor of perhaps, one of the largest taneries in this part of the country. It is incorporated at $15,000. Owing to the increasing demands, Mr. Overly spends most of his time on the road in the interest of his business. Middletown, Conn.—By the will of Mrs. Catherine Simmons $500 each is left to St. Monica's Home for sick colored women and children, to the Home for the aged Colored Women, to St. Augustine's church, all of Boston; Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett, Mass.; and to church of the Holy Trinity, the largest church in this city. There are also small bequests to relatives. Distant relatives have attacked the validity of the will, alleging the unsound mental condition of the testatrix. The estate is valued at $6,000. Mrs. Simmons was born in Slavery, and spent most of her life as a cook. Yonkers, N. Y., July 16.—Brooding over a report that the property adjoining her home had been purchased by Negroes who de signed to erect an apartment for Negro tenants, Mrs. Charles L. Hubbard, 35 years old, committed suiside by inhaling gas in her home at 65 McLean avenue tonight. Mrs. Hubbard sent her NO45 three small children out to play at 6 o'clock, then turned on the gas in the dining room. Her body was found by her husband two hours later. The Hubbards lived for many years in Rhinebeck, but recently sold their property and bought a home for $10,000 at this place. An adjoining estate was sold a week ago at auction and the report alluded to was circulated. Mrs. Hubbard became greatly depressed, but made no effort to verify the report, which, it appears was false. Coraner Iles will hold an inquest tomorrow. (From New York Age) The suit of Mary Frances Cavanaugh against her aunt, Mrs. Joseph Murphy, for $22,000, which was heard before Justice Page, in the special term of Part 2 of the Supreme Court, resulted in a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff alleged that the mother of the defendant, who is now dead, as the executrix of the estate of the plaintiff's father, the late James J. Cavanaugh, had diverted $22,000, which was used to purchase real estate for the defendant. Miss Cavanaugh asked that, the real estate held by the defendant be sold, and $22,000 of the proceeds of the sale be given to her for the settlement of her claim. All of the persons concerned are white. Thomas M. Roulette represented the plaintiff and Charles E. Toney, the well known colored attorney of this city represented the defendant. THE TEXAS VICTORY Hon. Wm. McDonald, familiarly known as "Goose Neck Bill," must be congratulated on the fight he put up to free the Negro voters of Texas from the domination of lillywhiteism. It a great victory for the Negroes of the Lone Star State. It was thought strange by some that a leader of Mr. McDonald's calibre would be fighting for the Taft faction, but to get rid of Lyons' yoke it was necessary to oppose Roosevelt. As the Negro did in Texas so they are doing everywhere. It is that independence asserting itself in the Negro that is destined to make all political parties look upon him as a man. He is learning tn look first to his own welfare and then to the welfare of some party.—Nashville Globe. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS 4 BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR- EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. The Western Federation of Miners opened its twentieth annual convention in Victor, Colo., Monday with 115 present. Reed Fairbanks, three-year-old son of L. R. Fairbanks of Salt Lake City, fall from the window of a fast moving Union Pacific passenger train, near Omaha, escaping with only slight injuries. Maddened by jealousy and despondent, James Mahan of Cripple Creek, Colo., about twenty-two years old, killed himself at Springville, Utah, after shooting Jack Sharp, twenty-five, who will probably die. A rag doll saved the life of Enid Whitman, two years old, at Spokane, Wash. The little girl tumbled through a second story window and fell twenty feet to the sidewalk. She landed upon the doll and was picked up unhurt. William Campbell was killed and several passengers injured when the Oriental Limited, the Great Northern's fast Pacific coast train, was wrecked at Ashby, a small station seventy-four miles east of Fargo, N. D. The cars left the track and rolled over an embankment. Between $40,000 and $50,000 will be saved to fruit growers of the Grand valley, in Colorado, by the discovery of a discrepancy in tariff schedules of the Rio Grande Railway Company, which, if overlooked, would have meant an extra charge of $2.50 for each refrigerator car shipped from the district. The convention of the Master Plumbers' Association of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, which has been in session in Cheyenne, adjourned after electing officers. The new officers are: N. W. Haas, Colorado Springs, president; A. P. Gumlick, Denver, vice president: John F. Wallace, Denver, secretary and treasurer. A new plan of trying criminal and civil cases in the Kansas courts will be presented to the next Kansas Legislature by John S. Dawson, attorney general, and a committee of the Kansas Bar Association. It is planned to establish professional jury service. If the Legislature should think well of it a constitutional amendment would be submitted to the voters at the election in 1914. The plan would do away entirely with the present methods of drawing juries and taking men from their work for thirty to ninety days. WASHINGTON. It is now thought Congress will adjourn Aug. 3. Herbert Knox Smith has resigned as United States commissioner of corporations. As a measure of economy Congress will not pass a public buildings bill at this session. The Senate indirectly rebuked President Taft for his course in connection with the Senator Lorimer case. The importation of absinthe into the United States and its sale in interstate commerce will be prohibited after Oct. 1. The House of Representatives adopted by a vote of 222 to 1 the articles of impeachment against Judge Robert W. Archbald of the United States Commerce Court. Representative Farr of Pennsylvania cast the single vote against the bill. The impeachment of Judge Robert W. Archald of the Commerce Court has been formally laid before the Senate by the committee of managers from the House, headed by Representative Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee. 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 officers to meet at Honolulu July 31. The cash transactions of Lee McClung, treasurer of the United States, with the business world during the fiscal year 1912, climbed to the enormous total of $4,837,226,388, the highest in the history of the country. This amount, $300,000,000 greater than the previous year, represents the combined income and expenditures of the government. The trial of Judge Robert W. Archbold of the Commerce Court, accused of misbehavior by alleged acceptance of credit and favors from litigants before his court, is under way. The Senate was sworn in as a court of impeachment. Although it is assured that the Stanley committee's long investigation of the so-called steel trust will result in at least two reports to Congress, it has been disclosed that both reports will agree to recommendations that the United States Steel corporation be dissolved. 8PORT.

Jack Johnson has given out the information that the ban which the New York boxing commission had placed on him is about to be raised. In proof, Jack showed a letter from Billy Gibson, manager of the Madison Square Garden. Five bouts are promised Johnson if the ban is lifted. First he must agree to meet Langford and Jeanette. Then he will have matches with Palzer, Burns and Flynn. All are to go ten rounds, and Johnson is to get $15,000 for each match. FOREIGN A special meeting of the Cabinet with President Madero was called and it is probable that federal troops will immediately be rushed to the state of Guanajuato, where cloudbursts have wrecked two cities and many smaller towns. Incomplete reports declare that probably 1,000 persons lost their lives, while the property damage will reach $5,000,000. GENERAL Three people died in Chicago from the heat, Sunday, July 14. Robert Harris, a drug crazed negro, went on a rampage in Tampa, Fla, and killed four negroes before he was slain. Two white men and four negroes were killed in an explosion in the mines of the Gayton Coal Company near Richmond, Va, recently. The board of directors of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad has voted $250,000 to be expended at once in changing the gauge of the trackage between Salida and Montrose, Colo. The use of copper salts in the "greening" of foods, principally canned peas and beans, will be prohibited after January 1, next, by a pure food decision signed by Secretary Wilson. The new battleship Wyoming, which left Philadelphia on her trial trip, is stuck on a sandbar at Three-Quarters point, about a mile and a half below Wilmington, Del. Government tugs went to her assistance. Four persons were drowned at Aiton, Illinois, by a cloudburst. The storm destroyed two miles of streets, wrecked six buildings and the gas plant of the Alton Gas & Electric Company. Damage is $250,000. Eugene W. Chafin of Arizona and Illinois was nominated for President of the United States by the National Prohibition party in convention in Atlantic City, N. J. Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio was nominated for vice president. Rat catchers are busy all along the Boston water-front. Under the direction of the Board of Health they will endeavor to eliminate all possible sources of the bubonic plague. All vessels from southern ports are being fumigated. A prisoner in chains for twenty years, with his parents his jailers, is said to be the strange experience of an insane man who was received as a patient at the Dixmont asylum in Pittsburg from Indiana, Pa. The authorities of the asylum admit that he was shipped to them in a rough pine box from his home in Indiana county. Woman's heroism and self-sacrifice during the Civil War probably will be immortalized by the erection in Washington of a home for the American Red Cross. The House public buildings and grounds committee reported favorably a resolution, already passed by the Senate, granting $400,000 toward the cost of such a building. The structure will be monumental in character and devoted solely to the offices and work of the Red Cross. Dashing through a heavy fog at the rate of sixty miles an hour, rushing past all signals and even ignoring the cracking torpedoes placed on the track as a last desperate effort to avoid a wreck, the great steel-jacketed Omaha mail train on the Burlington railroad crashed into a stalled transcontinental limited at) Western Springs, Ill. Fourteen persons met instant death, two died while being rushed to the hospital, and forty were injured, at least four of whom are hovering between life and death. The heat wave, which began to make itself felt in the eastern section of the country on July 4, continues with temperatures above 90, causing scattered deaths and general suffering. The total number of deaths reported during the present siege is 113. A mass meeting of those interested in the See America First idea will be held in Chicago in October, to which representatives of transportation companies, hotels and organizations in all parts of North America and the possessions of the United States, will be invited COLORADO STATE NEWS Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Five Tons of Peas Lost. Johnstown...Five tons of hulled peas, valued at nearly $1,000, en route in an auto truck to the Longmont canning factory, are a total loss as a result of machine becoming mired. The peas are unfit for canning when more than four hours have elapsed after being hulled. Boy Bandit Shoots Storekeeper. Boyle Bank.

The contract has been forwarded at once to Secretary of the Interior Fisher. Negro Arrested: Jewelry Recovered. Colorado Springs.—Between $3,000 and $4,000 worth of diamonds, a watch and other valuable jewelry have been recovered by the police as a result of the arrest of W. C. Griffith, colored porter at the Johnson Jewelry Company's store. Griffith is said to have confessed to the wholesale thefts. Denver.—The mandamus proceedings instituted in the District Court by T. R. Hoffmire to compel State Auditor Leddy and State Treasurer Kenehan to pay over a portion of the $4,000 prizes which were awarded to the State Horticultural Society at the state fair at Pueblo a year ago, were dismissed by Judge Greeley H. Whitford of the District Court. Holly.—Officers of sugar companies say that all factories in the Arkansas valley, including Sugar City, Las Animas, Rocky Ford, Swink, Lamar, Holly and Garden City, will run this season, probably having a 100-day campaign. From present indications each factory will be taxed to its fullest capacity, so large is the sugar beet crop promise. Water Damages Weld County. Greeley...Lowlands along the Platte river are under three feet of water and thousands of acres of hay and grain have been destroyed, as a result of high waters which reached southern Weld county. A patrol is being maintained and precautions have been taken to minimize damage expected if the water continues to rise. A wall of water six feet high in the vicinity of Fort Lupton and Platteville swept away small buildings and stock. The Wheeler and other bridges are threatened. Not in twenty years has the Platte in Weld county been on such a rampage. It is feared that the Evans-La Salle bridge will be washed away and residents in the vicinity have been warned.

Since the passage of the Borah-Taylor homestead bill a few months ago, desert claim entrymen who live in the White River valley are making applications for a change of their desert claim filings to homesteads, and are establishing residence. Two known, deaths, the serious injury of eight persons, and $4,000,000 worth of private and city property devastated, is the toll paid by Denver to the flood which swept down Cherry creek Sunday night, vaulted the shattered retaining walls and inundated miles of adjoining territory in its furious onslaught. Weld county, it is expected, will harvest $8,000,000 worth of crops this season. The grain crop promises to be the greatest the Greeley district has known. The first cutting of alfalfa is in the stack, making more than the entire crop of last season, and the second cutting is making luxuriant growth. Potatoes are in healthy condition and garden crops of peas, beans, onions, cabbage and tomatoes, grown on 25,000 acres, are better than the average. Fruit growers and ranchers of Paonia have arranged an excursion to Denver to secure a thousand men to help harvest the biggest fruit crop in the history of that section. They will travel on a special train and will parade Denver streets with a brass band. Edward P. Costigan, chairman of the provisional State Central committee of the Progressive party of Colorado, and Philip S. Van Cise, secretary, have issued the official call for the state assembly of that party to meet in Denver Thursday, August 1, 1912.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It is peculiar to note to what extent the inordinate lust for gold will lead mankind; and many a lapse of character is directly attributable to this cause. There are reasons which often impel individuals for the sake of self-protection to closely husband the resources which come within their grasp, but such may be the outcroppings of upright purposes untainted by greed and avarice. In that there is nothing of unrighteous conduct on the part of him who seeks for honest gain. It is indeed meritorious when such exists, because it creates a wholesome influence in the betterment of conditions. Human desires out-strip accumulations honestly wooed and won; and whoever fails to recognize this particular fact oversteps all manly privileges and evokes for himself a well deserved rebuke. Sometimes the avenues through which we must journey to accomplish our earthly missions are blocked by the pursuit of questionable methods which often shelter bad practices and expose us to the contempt of honest men. Evil deeds are the fruits of evil conceptions, which find a lodging place in the depth of our minds and attain proportions because nurtured there. All the loud professions which emanate from the lips and seek shelter beneath the garb of religion, count for naught in the habits of every man whose rating is not based upon the eternal rule of right. It is degrading to stigmatize by careless and indifferent handling the virtues which we manifest; and, we trample beneath our feet the things which should govern life. The recognition of mutual right as a duty imposed upon man carries with it a force divine in the creation of worthy ideals and the perpetuation of a noble and honored name. Irresponsibility sometimes scatters such brilliant rays as to dazzle the sight of the unwary; but in due course of time, the skillful and practiced eye will penetrate this thin veering and expose the nakedness of all wicked designs. Much of the hardships, woes and disappointments which afflict mankind may be traced to injustice between man and man. Encroachment when able to act with impunity never hesitates to take advantage, and though acting by contraries would have you believe its sincerity. He who deals in obedience to the promptings of his conscience, will steer his barque aright even if the waters upon which it sails be troubled. Unsullied as to the thoughts which possess his soul the endeavors exercised by the upright are ever in quest of loftier ends. Considered in generalities, the majority of mankind is by nature knaves, and seeks every available opportunity to usurp the rights of others. There are no defined limits through which our thoughts may wander; and, in disregard to the warnings of the better elements in our natures, we war against that portion of the divine spirit which should choose and direct our steps. The world grows wiser as the age in which we live advances; but grows better only as it becomes free from the baneful influence of unholy things. Leadership should exert itself for exaltation upon lines of improvement in the interest of the masses; but should first seek self-exaltation; because, leadership itself is woefully deficient in this particular sphere.—Atlanta Episcopallian Phalanx. If the strike of the International Association of Hotel Waiters in New York should result in reopening the hotel service to blacks as well as whites, and if, that being accomplished, it should teach the association that to make no discrimination on account of color in its constitution and yet to brutally enforce it as a policy is a subterfuge of fact that resents falsehood and evens up In the end, the strike will not have been in vain. It should also teach hotel proprietors that hotel workers should receive decent wages, and not have to depend upon the "tip system" foisted upon hotel patrons for their support, and that they should have reasonable and not unreasonable hours of service. Whatever the outcome may be, it is of the utmost importance that negro hotel workers organize and maintain an association for business and for pleasure. Their interests need to be protected and promoted, and this cannot be done if pleasure and not business is made the primary purpose of the association. A slogan with that ring in it is worth while having in every community. We need such a one in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, with an automatic arrangement that will keep it ringing all of the time. We need dry goods, laundry, shoe and grocery stores of our own in all parts of the big city where the people are mostly the tenants, on the east and west sides in Harlem and in the Bronx. We need these business enterprises in order to accumulate money values to give the race financial consequence, and we need them to furnish employment for our sons and daughters, who have small chance to secure employment with white concerns of like character.—New York Age. The extravagant person is one who is wasteful of emotion, opportunity or income. Habitually to spend more than one earns and to mortgage the future for the pleasure of the present is to be extravagant. He or she who abridges health by making unwise drafts on physical capital is extravagant and will one day pay the price of folly in sleepless nights and ill-adjusted nerves. There may be extravagance in the line of its opposite The miser who hoards as the crow does for the mere satisfaction of accumulating and hiding away his spoil is as extravagant as the spendthrift who takes no thought for the morrow in the indulgence of today. We are extravagant in speech when we pile one adjective on another and use italics in vehement assertions when we might much better restrain ourselves and not push language to the breaking point. The student who burns the midnight oil or uses his eyes in the small hours of the morning is extravagant and may rue his folly in days of darkness. Extravagance simply means wandering from the safe road in any direction, and though the price be long delayed, Nature will be sure to exact the payment.—Margaret E. Sangsster, in the Christian Herald. (The above definition for extravagance covers the case. The information therein contained should be laid close to heart and the colored man above all other peoples should ponder well the advice. Of a truth, the poor colored man (average) is extravagant along all lines, and to the limit. The falling health of the negro youth, the fatal effects of tuberculosis and other deadly diseases are all traceable to physical extravagance. His ignorance, arrogance, superstition and bigotry are the effects of his extravagance of opportunity to learn, while his poverty-stricken condition, all over and everywhere with rare exceptions, are but a part of the program of extravagance in matters where he should practice a rigid economy. There is a cause for all this extravagance, and while we may not take the time to enter into a discussion of the same, it is the bounden duty of every friend of the colored people to cry out against this great and awful crime.)—Dallas Express. The presidency of Howard University is an all-absorbing problem. The kind of a man he should be is forming the subject of learned papers in the press and is a leading topic on the street corners and in the church, the school and the barber shop. Shall he be white or colored is also a burning issue, and there are able and aggressive champions of both sides of the question. Sentiment favors the appointment of a colored man, but it is the general feeling that the trustees will find it expedient to choose a white president. It is insisted upon by all that the man chosen, whether he be white or colored, must be a great big man, one who measures up to the exacting demands of the situation and who "looks the part," as well as reaching the intellectual and executive standards expected. Prof. Kelly Miller is far and away the favorite of those who urge a colored president. No white man has yet been mentioned who appeals to the popular imagination of our colored citizens. A suggestion has been made that the colored candidates caucus and find some method by which the strength of the pro-negro element can be focussed on a single negro candidate. This is regarded as the only means by which a colored candidate can inspire serious consideration. There are eight colored trustees on the board, but they as well as their white colleagues are non-committal as to their attitude. The colored trustees are Dr. C. B. Purvis, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. J. E. Moorland, Rev. F. J. Grimke, Dr. Marcus F. Whiteland, J. C. Napier, Dr. J. H. N. Waring and Dr. John R. Francis.—Illinois Chronicle. The Charleston News and Courier, the South Carolina white man's guide, philosopher and friend, makes the sweeping statement that "not ten per cent. of the negroes in this part of the world do a full day's work a month." It claims that the negro will "not pick cotton unless he needs the money for actual bread," and "so it is with the cooks, the draymen, the entire race." Now, what are the facts, what is the real truth? Educated negroes on the spot should make it a business to get the facts and place them where the News and Courier and the rest of mankind can get at them. The Columbia Southern Indicator enters a general denial and protest, saying "ignorant men of all races work only when they want bread and that intelligent negroes, like the intelligent people of any other race, are working for more than bread." If everybody would keep courage until they have either won a victory or have been defeated, there would not be so many failures. Most people get discouraged at the first hard place they encounter, and as soon as a fellow becomes discouraged, unless some one with a strong heart is near to encourage him, he is sure to fail. The Interstate Reporter. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS The National Baptist Sunday School Congress, Dr. C. H. Clark of Nashville, Tennessee, president, and Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary, held its seventh annual meeting at Tuskogee Institute beginning Wednesday, June 5, and closed the following Sunday night. When the special trains from Nashville, Tennessee, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, reached the Institute depot Wednesday morning, the distinguished parties were greeted by Principal Washington, members of the Executive Council, teachers, the Institute Band, a very largest number of students and prominent citizens of the community, Dr. Nathaniel H. Plus in charge of a trained chorus, and superintendents, teachers and pupils of three Baptist Sunday schools of the neighborhood, carrying banners, streamers and flags. The greeting was most cordial. A procession was quickly formed, and, led by the band, marched directly to the Institute Chapel, where President Clark called the Congress to order and the seventh annual meeting was opened for business. Prominent among those who addressed the Congress were Mr. W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, president of the Macon County Bank, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the white citizens of Tuskegee and the white Baptists of Alabama; Principal Booker T. Washington, who delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the Institute; Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., who made the magnificent response in behalf of the Congress, who was followed by Prof. J. W. Bell of Earlington, Kentucky, whose short address was a gem; Dr. Homer C. Lyman of Hamilton, New York, Superintendent of Teacher Training in the Negro Colleges of the United States, representing the International Sunday School Association with headquarters at Chicago; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs of Nashville, Tennessee, representing the Educational Board, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, introduced by Prof. R. B. Hudson, as "the first colored lady of the land"; Rev. R. H. Bowling, D. D., of Norfolk, Virginia, who delivered the principal address of the Congress, reviewing in words of eloquence the work of the present session, and paying a high compliment to the Principal of Tuskegee Institute and the work he is doing for the race, and Dr. Henry H. Meyer of New York, Secretary of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denominations in the United States and Canada, who delivered a very helpful address on "Looking Forward," stating among other things that the best organized and equipped Sunday school of today shows what the average Sunday school will be in the near future. Continuing, Dr. Meyer said: "I have been profoundly impressed during my attendance at the sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress by the higher ideals, splendid achievements and efficient leadership which the Sunday School work of the National Baptist fellowship represents. The place of meeting for the Congress this year was most fortunate. Tuskegee Institute stands before the American people as the one monumental object lesson of what industry, patience and state statesmanship like leadership can do in a strategic situation. I also appeals to me as the greatest practical demonstration I have yet seen of the possibilities of industrial progress among the Negro race." Principal Washington was enthusiastically received by the Congress. He spoke of the ten millions of Negroes in this country, 82 per cent of whom live in the rural districts and are engaged in agricultural pursuits. These teeming millions may be comparatively ignorant, but they are not degraded; they are worth saving. The organization that will reach out and take hold of these people in the rural districts, said Dr. Washington, and left them to a higher plane of Christian civilization is the organization that shall live and grow and abide. All the papers read before the Congress showed careful study and some of them showed thorough scholarship and deep insight into the concrete work of the organization. The personnel of the Congress was inspiring. Real workers were in attendance. There was a conspicuous absence of pyrotechnic oratory, except an occasional rocket. No time was lost in fulsome praise of mediocrity. It was neither a mutual admiration gathering nor an amateur debating society. It was an assemblage of Christian workers doing constructive work, solving some of the problems affecting the future of the race. Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, supported and surrounded by his "Cabinet" in the conduct of that great enterprise, was a dominating personality in all the deliberations of the Congress. Delegates were present from every section of the country. The departmental meetings were especially helpful and instructive. The parade of the Institute Battalion, the young women here during the summer, the officers and members of the Congress, local Sunday School organizations, and church workers Sunday afternoon, headed by the Institute Band, was an inspiring sight. The Alabama Penny Savings Bank has been selected as the depository of the funds of the A. M. E. Zion church, which means that the headquarters of that great religious body will be transferred from Philadelphia to Birmingham and the money hitherto manipulated by white men will be under the management and control of colored men. RACE WAR BREAKS OUT IN AFRICA AS KAFFIRS RUN AMUCK Death Sentence Is Pronounced on Several South African Natives but Black Peril Is Not Diminished. WHITE WOMEN CARRY REVOLVERS IN HOMES—VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IS ORGANIZED, AND WHITE PEOPLE RETALIATE BY DRIVING BLACKS OUT OF TERRITORY. Johannesburg. The black peril has in no way diminished as the result of recent death sentences being carried out on South African natives. Vigilance committees are springing up all over this district, and gunsmiths are reaping a harvest. Women are devoting themselves to revolver practice, and the Daughters of the Transvaal, a local body of female volunteers, who divide their time between ambulance work and amazonic militarism, are extending their sphere of usefulness so that non-members may learn how to use firearms and practice jiu-jitsu. In Turffonteln, a thickly populated suburb, a woman was not only attacked by unknown kaffirs, but was carried from her room, where she was sleeping with her baby, to a plantation 150 yards away. Ten days after the outrage she died from shock. Similar instances, although fortunately unaccompanied by fatal results, are occurring not only in the Transvaal, but in the Orange Free State and Cape Colony. In spite of this reign of black terror, the Botha government does nothing to show that it has the welfare of the community at heart. For this reason the people of Johannesburg are taking the law into their own hands. Kaffir drives are becoming a constant occurrence. A "drive" took place at Forest Hill, a suburb at the south of the town, somewhat beyond Turffonteln. A rumor of outrage spread round the district, and 400 determined men gathered armed with revolvers, shotguns, sjamboks, whips and sturdy branches of blue trees. For a time they listened patiently to speeches offering suggestions as to the best means of counteracting the growth of black outrages. Suddenly one of the crowd jumped up and dred a revolver. "We've yapped enough," he cried. "Now's the time to act. Come on. We'll have the drive now, and dispense with resolutions." In a moment order was thrown to the winds. Dozens of revolvers were flourished, and the chairman's appeals for order fell on deaf ears. "Volunteers who know the road," was the first cry. Thirty or forty men stepped forward. Each guide was told to take charge of a couple of score of men, and a move was made for the Kenllworth plantations. All natives found abroad were subjected to a severe cross-examination. Three natives and a Cape boy, all provided with the requisite pass, were escorted back to their "baas" houses, and the Cape boy, who smelt strongly of dope brandy, was recommended for and received chastisement. The excited crowd was looking for a black about five feet six inches high, hatted, booted, and gray suited. Every native answering to this description was stopped and examined by the angry drivers, whose blood was now thoroughly up. Natives who tried to escape received rough handling. There were so many gangs abroad that any black, after refusing to submit to full inquiry, who attempted to get away, fell foul of other search parties and soon relented under the whip or sjambok. A running black, as may be surmised, was asked no questions, but laid by the heels at once. Six natives roughly answering the description, but also to prove their innocence of any outrage, were terribly handled before the police arrived on the scene and endeavored to calm th maddened crowd. SAVES LIFE OF WHITE BOY. Key West, Fla., June 18—Emil Whitmarsh, a boy about 10 years old, was saved from drowning by a negro lad of about 16 years of age. Young Whitmarsh was sitting on the south end of the Mallory dock watching some swimmers in the water. Two other boys were playing on the dock, when one pushed the other, knocking him overboard. While he was falling his outstretched hand struck the Whitmarsh boy on the shoulder, and he fell in the water. Two of the swimmers went to his assistance, but it was not until James Hall, the negro lad mentioned in the first paragraph, sprang overboard without removing his clothes, that he was rescued, but little the worse for his experience. MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER Around Prince Edward Island in Canada deposits of mussel mud have been encountered from 5 to 25 feet deep, and this is now being extensively taken for use as fertilizer. This material is the organic remains of countless generations of oysters, mussels, clams and other shellfish. The shells, usually more or less intact, are found imbedded in dense deposits of a mudlike substance, and this combination is a fertilizer of high value and potency. It supplies lime and organic matter, besides small quantities of phosphate and alkalles. Furnished Rooms And the Old Reliable Parlors 41-45 Arapahoe Street. MONAR CO SHORT ORDERS AT ALL hoe Street.

REPRESSION of one’s feelings under circumstances of great ad- versity and suffering; sullen indifference to trials and afflictions, even to impending death; these are the characteristies of what men call the Stoic, They indicate that a man is satisfied within himself with his own course and the fate that has followed it, and that, at least, for the sake of the principle he has followed, he will let no man know that he is suffering, The Negro is no Stoic. He does not believe in suffering in silence. As a rule, if anything hurts him, he believes in giving expression to his pain, He eries out and lets the world know that things are going wrong with the black man, But the Negro is the most, easily satisfied mortal in the world. He is the quickest to forget his ills and to regain his natural, happy composure after relief. His is the lightest-hearted, the most patient and hopeful people that the world has ever known. He resists suffering longer, enjoys life and freedom more, and knows how to be happier than any other branch of the human family. And this indicates great possibilities for the Negro. ‘The Stoie may be grim and brave, but with all his admirable and defiant hardihood, he goes down before the advance guard of overwhelming opposition. ‘The American Indian is proverbially stoical, but he has been scattered like chaff before the white man’s progressive, unrelenting forms of eiviliza- tion, Tntellect alone, backed by only ordinary numerical strength has made the white race the earth’s dominant race, but, strangely enough, the most backward and careless of races mentally and socially, and the one seemingly farthest removed from the white man’s standards of moral and material progression, has best resisted the all-conquering onslaughts of the white man’s power. The Negro suffers and yields to the shock of the onslaught, but with unmatched patience, endurance and content, assimilates the forms, characteristies and activities of the on-marching conqueror, absorbs his genius and rises, with all his supe- rior fund of patience, light-heartedness and dauntless faith in the ulti- mates of life. It is more than a hopeful sign. It is a positive promise of the future well-being of the black people of the earth, It is a long look ahead, but by that sign of Nature by which it is told that all things which endure must surely progress, and by which greatest hopes and faiths are justified, we can see a time coming when the black man will not be the scum of the earth or the last of creation, WATCH THE LINE-UP! ngerous sentiment prevails among F any kind of a candidate will make in the election in a presidential ; ce considerable faith in this suppo iore dictatorial in the conduct of n¢ A rather dangerous sentiment prevails among Republicans to the effect that most any kind of a candidate will make a strong showing and probably win the election in a presidential year. Politicians, particularly, place considerable faith in this supposed rule, and are disposed to be more dictatorial in the conduct of nominating conven- tions and other preliminary party funetions than they are when the outcome of an election depends solely upon the strength of local plat- forms covering local issues. The present year is one in which this sen- timent will be more dangerous than ever because of the great uncer- tainty among Republicans everywhere. ‘The Republican party is facing one of those unusual crises, not only upon its own legions, but upon the ranks of the opposing forces, as well. It is necessary and wise, therefore, beyond the usual degree, that all preliminary local actions leading up to the convention and the election in the fall should be carefully planned and condueted, so as to bring out the party’s greatest strength and to keep its interest and its loyalty unabated, The CoLorano SraTesMAN is particularly anxious to go into the fall campaign without any grounds for complaint against a single can- didate cr the methods of party managers. The opinions and the active advice and support of colored men are going to be worth something to somebody in Republican ranks this fall, because of the fact that cireumstances have woven matters of vital interest to colored men squarely and plainly into the woof of party principles, and Republican candidates this year must be either for or against the recognition of the political interests of colored men, if they are to be in line with the policies whch are to have ultimate ex. pression in the national candidates and their platform, ‘We do not want to support for office this fall any alleged Repub. lican who is not disposed to give the colored man a square deal. The past conduct of those who have before been in office, must speak for them, but we will be satisfied to depend upon the general reputation of those candidates who have not held office before. ‘We have given many warnings of growing distrust among colored men because of the continudd neglect or downright duplicity of poli- ticians or officials. Our interest in national affairs this year must find expression in our support of local candidates, and in the selecton of these it is well that we should have something to say. Youthful Moral Healt pe ripen of Chile Criminal Needs G By MRS. W. J. YOUNG, Galveston, Texas HAT shall we do with the youthful criminal? ‘That is a problem that requires serious thought. Some of the great est intellects have pondered over that momentous question, ' and yet all reforms bearing on the subject are still in an experimental stage. To prevent and protect our children from becoming youthful offenders should be our first endeavor. Modern municipal hygiene does not attempt to stop the ravages of disease by merely treating those afflicted: The purity of the water supply, the sanitary regulations governing dwellings and buildings, the efficiency and completeness of the sewer system, etc., are given the required atten- tion. ‘Time, thought and money are expended judiciously to protect our physical well being. Protection is the watchword in the municipal depart- ment safeguarding our health, The moral health of our children needs to be guarded and fortified. If we can check or reduce the number of wayward youths the problem will be partially solved. Many parents feed, clothe and send their children to school, but for- get to instill into the plastic minds of their offspring the love of truth, honesty and consideration for the rights of others. Character building in the home is essential to good morals. Parents should co-operate with school teachers and religious instructors in the training of children. “The high instincts of reason, of conscience, of love, of religion—how beautiful and grand they are in the young heart!” Undoubtedly heredity plays an important part in the character of a child. I firmly believe that good and worthy examples, the proper envi- ronment and a moral and religious training exert a powerful influence in controlling and eradicating hereditary evil tendencies. Give youthful offenders a chance? Why, of course. Teach them the means to earn an honest living, then give them work and put enough in their pay envelopes to enable them to live respectably. Lack of em- ployment and insufficient wages produce a harvest of criminals. ‘The wonder is that we have not a larger crop of young lawbreakers. What chance have children of tender years working long hours in mills, mines and factories? Stunted bodies and minds are not productive of strong moral characters. Men waxing rich on the profits derived from child labor not only dwarf the minds and bodies of the poor, unfortunate children in their employ, but they kill their souls as well. Give youth the best chance by abolishing conditions that produce youthful criminals. Boys and girls who stray from the straight and narrow path should Hot ba hardediswithy oldies stmmorelhardon cal ocin ingle AChula Saar. classification in jail and a little less out of jail might be beneficial io humanity. Confirmed law breaker: are professors of crime, and all professors, whether good or evil, take. pleasure in instructing the young Minor offenders should not be treated like sea- soned jailbirds, There are many pitfalls for the un- wary, and a step downward often means a toboggan slide to the gutter. You, on the height, throw out the life line; there is always a chance that it may bt grasped. Publicity should not be given to the petty crimes of first offenders. It does not help the youth to retain or regain his self-respect, and self-respect, if not wholly destroyed, leads to reformation. that fair play hardly permits the opposition of half a dozen against the necessity of one. ‘The majority of humam beings, who have succeeded in emerging from barbarism, find no special pleasure, either, in the anger of a man or thc tears of a girl. One is tempted to reverse the judgment of that wise and witty handbill, and agree with New England’s great educator, Dr. Elliott. when he observed that bachelors were a mischievous and disorderly class and a detriment to society. A more charitable view, however, might suggest that, in the parting episode of the handeuffs the “beloved friends” bestowed a girl with which they had become profitably familiar. It is devoutly to be wished that people may not judge the bride and bridegroom by the company they kept, for they certainly proved their desire to escape it, and to depart unheralded and untormented upon the “deep, dark and troublesome sea of matri- mony.” ‘. that City aa Girls as hon Bs pick Wives of | inc try Western | \ Farmers | = gets ———— ee ee ae ons from roaming too far from 1 from in front of the only door ¥ for the men on the ranch and ment ‘True, there is not much house two rooms in the shack and all t! ‘he winter months is that which cot Take it from one who knows— mn ranch luxury is largely a myth too highly of her life to run after ens from roaming too far from home.

At the present time a most unusual case of affection between a domiciled and a comparatively wild animal 1s-to be witnessed at the little English ham- let of Spoonley, near Market Drayton. On the farm of Mr, William Woodburn for a week or two past, a small rough, somewhat vicious terrier from tho farmstead has been noticed gambolling in the fields with a large well-devel- oped hare.

One of the most disastrous floods that Denver has had since 1864 occurred here last Sunday night and did damage estimated to be $4,000,000. While the principal streets of the city were flooded, the main damage was along Cherry Creek bottom, where hundreds were made homeless by the raging waters. Street car traffic was at a standstill as a result of the tracks being covered with at least a foot of mud. Cellars were flooded all over the city and the telephone system was put out of commission. While the floods have been few and far between, yet it should prove a lesson at least to those who reside in the low lands along Cherry Creek. MORE NEW DOUBLE TRACK FOR THE DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILROAD.

BATES' TWENTIETH CENTURY WONDER'TEA AND POW- DERS For Sale at Scholtz Drug Stores, Tot man'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 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles 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, A. J. LYLE, Continental Building. 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.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT Will Be Appreciated, as a Change, by Those Who Are Not Strict Vegetarians. This dish calls for two cupfuls of thoroughly boiled cold barley, one cupful of finely ground roasted peanuts, one cupful of fine bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of salt and one saltspoonful of white pepper or paprika, one stick of celery, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil or three of butter, four tablespoonfuls of browned flour, one large onion, and vegetables stock or water. Make a brown sauce of the oil flour, and vegetable stock to thin to the consistency of thick cream sauce. Chop the onion fine and slimmer it five minutes in a tablespoonful of butter, then stir in the barley, then the peanuts and bread crumbs mixed together with the salt, pepper, and celery. Add the hot brown sauce (left over gravy may be used for this). Mold into a loaf, mixing all ingredients well. Grease a roasting pan, place the loaf in it and cook in a hot oven ten minutes; then add a tablespoonful of butter melted in a cupful of hot water and baste with this every five minutes for one-half hour. Remove to a hot platter and make a cupful of brown gravy in the pan and serve in a sauceboat. If tomatoes are in season, garnish the platter with slices dipped in seasoned flour and fried brown. Over all sprinkle the minced parsley. Other cooked cereals or combinations of cereals may substitute the barley. A corn and rice mixture would be good. DESSERT DISHES OF RHUBARB Pudding, Taploca, or Shortcake, Any One of Them Makes a Delicious Confection. Rhubarb Pudding—Mash half a pound of bag or pulled figs, or use dates or raisins or a mixture of all or of two of these fruits. Cover with boiling water and cook until water is nearly absorbed. Cut a pound of rhubarb in inch pieces, put a layer of the cooked dried fruit, and repeat until all is used. Add a quarter of a cup of hot water and bake in a slow oven until the rhubarb is soft. Serve cold alone or with cream. Rhubarb Taploca.—Soak half a cup of taploca over night and cook until clear in a double boiler. Place in a buttered pudding dish two cups of rhubarb, cut in small pieces; one cup of sugar and a pinch of ginger. Pour the hot taploca over this, stir in one teaspoonful of butter, cover and bake one hour. Put a meringue on it before serving, if you like, or serve it cold, with plain or whipped cream. Rhubarb Shortcake.—Put two cups of rhubarb, cut small, with a scant cup of sugar in a double boiler and cook until rhubarb is tender and sugar dissolved. Add the juice and chopped rind of one lemon. Make a shortcake by your favorite recipe, but cut and bake it like biscuit. When done, break open, butter them and arrange on a hot dish. Put the rhubarb in between, and when serving pour the juice over them. Use good fruit which is a little under ripe. Use the best granulated sugar. No not make large quantities of jelly at one cooking. Heat the sugar in the oven before adding it to the fruit juice. If the juice must be boiled down, always do so before the sugar is added. The jelly will be clearer and finer if the fruit is simmered gently and not stirred during cooking. Do not allow the syrup to boil rapidly, or crystals may appear in jelly. Always make jelly on a bright, clear day. Wash the jelly glasses in hot water and set them on a folded cloth wrung out of hot water. Set the jelly in a sunny window for twenty-four hours, then cover with melted paraffin and set in a dry, cool place.—Woman's World. Antiseptic Soap.

Pour can potash into the water and let stand till dissolved, stir occasionally. Add ammonia and borax. Melt fat and add, then stir till of a creamy consistency, then put in glycerine and acid. Perfume with extract of sassafras. Turn soap into granite pan to harden. Mark off while soft. Follow directions carefully.—"Home Department," National Magazine. Stewed Beetroot Bake the beetroot one hour, when cold take off the skin, cut it into slices a quarter of an inch thick, put it into a stewpan with half a pint of any stock, a saltspoon of salt, the same of pepper, one-half a grain of cayenne, a shalot chopped, two sprigs of parsley chopped; simmer three-quarters of an hour, add a wineglass of vinegar and serve.

MUSIC, SONG AND ORATORY ANNOUNCED THE DEBUT OF THE SEVERAL BOYS AND GIRLS INTO THE WORLD OF ACTIVITY—ARMED WITH TRADES AND PROFESSIONS, ARE AMPLY ABLE TO WIN IN THE RUGGED BATTLE OF LIFE. Topeka, Kan.—The sixteenth annual commencement of Western university occurred and was by far the best in the school's history, both in point of attendance and intellectual advancement. The Western university of today and that of 16 years ago, are as different as daylight and darkness. The institution has kept abreast of the times and now stands well up in the ranks of the country's foremost institutions of learning, and a leader among schools of its kind. Western university is strictly Kansas—a home-grown product that has made a reputation in the nation's educational life. Each year scores of boys and girls are sent out into the world, ably fitted to meet every demand along all lines. They are sending forth teachers, preachers and mechanics of all kinds who are an honor and credit to themselves, and to the race to which they belong. They are contributing much to society, and convincing the world that the negro needs only a chance. At the appointed hour the procession formed, headed by the university band and the school officials, followed by the students and visitors, marched to a large tent that had been pitched on the campus, where the exercises were held. Thirty-five hundred eager souls packed the tent and after listening to an overture, "The Sky Pilot," Dr. Coleman of Ohio offered the invocation and the exercises proper begun. "Lifting the Vell," salutatory oration by Aurelia Hayden (normal), Kirkwood, Mo., was a gem, sparkling with wit and good, wholesome advice. It showed careful study of conditions and that her time had been well applied. Miss Effie Grant in "O'er Forest, O'er Mountain," was fine. Supported by a splendid chorus, she delighted the large audience with her rich voice. Truly Miss Grant is a sweet singer, and from the hearty applause of her hearers, she made good. James Bates (commercial), Lansing, cared for himself admirably, and his oration, "What Knowledge Is of Most Worth?" was well received and made a good impression. His presentation, diction and grammar plainly told that he had been a good student, and, above all, a close observer of conditions. He will make good if he continues to pursue his present course. "The Nurse of Today and the Nurse of Yesterday" was ably discussed by Ida May Jones (nurse training), Olathe. Her comparison of the old way of caring for the afflicted proved that she knew whereof she spoke, and that she had grasped every point pertaining to this most needed of all professions among the colored people. Her conception is clear and the ease and grace with which she presents a matter commands the closest attention. Clarence Parker rendered a piano solo that was very entertaining. Edna May Smith (commercial), Kansas City, Kan., told "How to Learn by Doing." It was a well told story, proving the advantages of practice over theory. She is very intelligent and will make a mark in life. The valedictory oration fell to Mary Beatrice Wood (normal), Carthage, Mo. She told of "Relations of Home and School," and convinced her hearers that she was thoroughly familiar with the subject and her oration was well rendered and highly instructive. The address to graduates was delivered by State Superintendent E. T. Fairchild, and it can be truthfully said that it was the most highly instructive and contained more good, wholesome food for thought than any ever before delivered to the student body of the institution. It was far from the usual stereotyped talk employed by the average white man when addressing colored people. He impressed upon them that they had a place to fill in the world, not as a colored people, but as men and women, that he longed for the day when justice would be meted out to all alike and blacks would be measured according to their ability and moral worth. He said that Kansas spent $10,000,000 yearly for education—two and one-half of which went to Kansas university, Emporia State Normal and the State Agricultural college in which benefits all citizens shared alike. Mr. Fairchild is one of the squarest and best men in all Kansas. As state superintendent of public instruction he has elevated the schools of the state and placed them on a higher standard than ever. He has advanced ideas on education and it is a pity that Kansas is so wrapped up in politics that a good man like Mr. Fairchild cannot remain at the head of our schools for a number of years and straighten all the kinks in our educational system. This cannot be done in a half dozen years, and some day we hope the people will awake, cast aside politics and again honor Mr. Fairchild, the best educator Kansas has ever had. President H. T. Kealing with a few well chosen remarks, presented a number of prizes as follows: The J. C. Embry memorial medal for scholarship, given by Mrs. W. T. Vernon, awarded to Miss Marle Wood. The B. F. Watson prize for composition to Miss Alma Bass. The W. D. Cook medal for oratory awarded to Mr. Thomas Hogg. Many valuable additions have been added to the industrial department which makes it one of the best equipped institutions in the country. A student can enter this institution and complete a course in any trade or profession. During the past year harness making, cabinet making, dress making and blacksmithing have been added. The exhibits were fine and a credit to all parties connected with their creation. NOTED COOK DEAD Mrs. Emeline Jones, Original Maker of Saratoga Chips, Expires After Lingering Illness—Caterer Gross Tells of How Services of Cook Was Sought by Presidents. New York—In the death of Mrs. Emeline Jones, who died at her residence, 314 West Fifty-second street, after an illness of several months' duration, the country loses a cook widely known for her culinary art, and whose services were greatly sought after by presidents of the United States and wealthy citizens. She enjoyed the distinction of first bringing Saratoga chips to the attention of the public. Mrs. Jones attracted attention because of her appetizing terrapin stews, croquettes and mince pie. Both President Cleveland and President Arthur after having eaten food prepared by this celebrated cook, sought to engage her services as head cook at the White House, but to no purpose. The funeral of the deceased was held from the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, the Rev. Father O'Keefe officiating. In speaking of Mrs. Emeline Jones as a famous cook and caterer, W. E. Gross, one of New York's oldest caterers, comments as follows: "One of the best female cooks of New York City passed away. The Rev. Father O'Keefe celebrated a solemn requiem mass for the repose of her soul. Mrs. Jones came from Baltimore, Md., about forty years ago. A very little is known of her early life, but she soon launched out as a professional cook, succeeding Mrs. Murray, and in a few years became famous among the wealthy families of this city as president of the Public Waiters of New York, when I became acquainted with her. She was of a cheerful and sunny disposition and endeared herself to all who came in contact with her. Many of the caterers of those days sought her services, and the demands upon her were so great that she immediately procured and taught assistants to help fill her orders. One of her apt pupils, Mrs. Fannie C. Jarvis, gives her credit for the skill she acquired and is today her worthy successor. "Mrs. Jones was the originator of the Saratoga chips, which became a staple article of food at the various business resorts. The late President Arthur, through Aleck Powell, sought her services to cook at the White House, but she declined the offer. John Chamberlain secured her services at a large salary at his club houses in New York, and at Point Comfort, Virginia. The steward of John Daly, Nowell Newman, later succeeded in giving her a position at John Daly's house at Long Branch. Mrs. Jones was famous for her terrapin stew, croquettes and mince pies. "Wall, the baker of Sixth avenue, in the winter season engaged the services of Mrs. Jones to make his mince pies and rolls. At that time cooks had to make rolls and bread for their parties and dinners. Most of the wealthy families procured their pies and rolls from Wall, who kept a bakery down town. "Mrs. Jones' assistants were kept busy filling orders. Colored cooks and caterers did most of the work in those times, and she took delight in making successful such caterers as the Van Dykes, John Lucas, Hiram Thomas, Nathaniel Johnson, Moses Lewis, Horatio Butler, Wm. Smith, James W. Mars, T. McCarthy, Wm. Heydiger, John Brown, Vernon C. Murray, myself and many others. Most of the colored cooks came from Baltimore and Philadelphia and settled in New York. "A prominent wealthy merchant of this city gave me an order to procure a cook to serve a dinner at his home, and to get the best, as he wished to entertain the late President Cleveland and his wife. Money was no object. I engaged Mrs. Jones. She served President Cleveland so well that he offered her a large salary to cook for him, but she had to refuse the offer. There was a tradition at that time before the advent of the French and Italian cooks that colored cooks were the best. "Mrs. Jones always received her orders carte blanche, and made up her menus. "Cooking is a fine art, and if many of our young women of today were to take it up we would have many more than we have and not depend upon delicatessen stores. Mrs. Jones lately suffered so that she could only take orders and send out assistants. I will miss her greatly. "She leaves, I learn, a sister and a nephew. The French Cooks' Society faithfully cared for her during her illness, and had charge of her remains for burial." NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Medical Association will be held at Tuskegee Institute, August 27, 28 and 29, 1912. The first announcement of the meeting as sent out by Dr. Kenney, chairman of the local committee, and General Secretary of the National Medical Association follows: The indications are that all roads will lead to Tuskegee Institute in August of this year.

Announcement to be made later concerning the matter of railroad rates. Those intending to come will kindly advise the chairman of the local committee, and arrangements will be made. (Signed) J. A. KENNEY, Chairman Local Committee. CORN CULTIVATION The following bulletin, being No. 2 in the series, has just been issued by Manager S. M. Jordan of the Pettis County Bureau of Agriculture. "A few years ago the only race at this season was as to who could get done planting first. The game in Pettis county seems to have changed, and now it is 'who can get his seed bed it, the finest shape." "I must say that I never saw fancier work done. In only rare cases do bad clods appear. Some seem as yet not to have caught the idea. Most of the corn fields are like gardens. This is certainly wise, as it means much easier and better work from now on. "It is evident that if the seed planted grows, something of a corn crop is sure, as when men prepare such seed beds as we find in Pettis county, these same men will do the best of the work ahead as it should be. "There were only a few fields, comparatively, when the ground was not disked ahead of the plow. Then most of them were harrowed and disked and harrowed again. Some, however, plowed first and plowed the entire field, leaving the clods for a rain to come to soften their clods; in fact, they seem to hope that Providence will do the big end of their farming. These can't expect much. Some corn that has been planted and not yet up has had one cultivation already with a harrow. "When the time comes for the cultivator, deep plowing is safe and often advisable the first time. This is true where the ground may have been packed pretty closely. Corn roots cut at this first plowing cannot do much harm, and, in some instances, actually do good. "As the season progresses, it is commonly best to cultivate a little snailower each subsequent time, and in laying by as few roots as possible should be disturbed. "Deep cultivation late in the season should be avoided, if possible. Sometimes this deep work may be necessary when heavy rains may have run the soil together and weeds have the start and cannot be killed by shallow work. "On rolling ground the land should be ridged as little as possible. It is sometimes necessary to ridge on flat land when the season may be wet; also, when the season is very wet, deep cultivation is sometimes best. The more the surface is stirred the more moisture the soil will hold or the less evaporation will take place."—Sam Jordan in Missouri Farmer. Annual Address from De W. F. Tillet. NINETEEN COLLEGE GRADUATES —SEVEN FROM EDUCATIONAL COURSE, THREE FROM MUSIC—PRIZES AND CERTIFICATES AWARDED.

Columbus, Tex.—One of the most noted criminal cases of recent years before the district courts of this county was brought to a close when the jury in the noted "axman" case brought in a verdict of not guilty. Jim Fields, a negro charged by indictments returned by a special grand jury called on April 13 with the murder of a family of six negroes near Glidden, was the defendant. It was charged that Fields on the night of March 27 entered a house near the Glidden railroad station and with an ax killed Lyle Finucane, Ellen Munroe and four Munroe children, all negroes. A special session of the grand jury was convened on April 13, and Fields was indicted under six counts. He was tried on the charge of killing Lyle Finucane. After deliberating one hour the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The verdict was greeted by cheers, especially among the negro spectators. The courtroom has been filled with an interested crowd throughout the trial. H.

The movement on the part of the native of South Africa, to unite in their own welfare and for safeguarding their interests and rights in the face of the problems and perplexities confronting them under the aegis of the activities of present day civilization, is rendered as indispensable as it is inevitable. And inevitable because of the plain and undisguised character of the treatment meted out to the black man everywhere, involving a policy of invidious discrimination which excludes none but embraces all, and not only recognized universally as the measure to be meted out to the black man, but proclaimed as the one condition upon which the black man is to live, move and have his being. With such an outlook confronting him, the black man would be less than human if he failed to realize the situation and take counsel with himself as to the ways and means he should adopt for meeting the ominous outlook. The very exigencies of the circumstances in which he finds himself, compel the black man as a rational being to do so. Race preservation, which is only another name for self-preservation, is as important for him as for any other human being. And whatever may be said against the black man endeavoring to unite and formulate a national policy from his own standpoint as a set-off against the national problems he is compelled to face, he is but acting upon the dictates of reason and common sense such as would actuate any other people placed in like circumstances. Whenever such an attempt of the kind is made by the black man, or even where the attempt is suggested, it is generally met with soft sophisms something like the following: "He (the black man) should always persist in looking rather at the bright than the gloomy side of their position; that he should see how they advanced; that he should know and believe that nothing could check their advance; that he should teach that the darkest cloud had a silver lining; that he should frankly recognize and highly value the services and co-operation of thousands of Europeans in the cause of justice, and he should strengthen their hands and their work and not make it more difficult; and that he should abstain from expressing doctrines which imparted to the larger section of the European people a spirit of general injustice and general hostility to the advancement of the native." The foregoing represents the time honored advice tendered the black man by his European well-wisher. Those who tender the advice lose sight of the important question which it postulates. Such question relates to the reason why the grumblings of the black man under the acknowledged burden of distress and ill treatment meted out to him should arouse "a spirit of general injustice and general hostility" with the European, both friends and foes, toward him, and that, too, in spite of the well-known fact that of all men, the black man has given the least cause of offense to the European. This shows the existence of a bottom feeling of ill will towards the black man, and which because of its lacking any justification, invests both the advice and friendship professed with a speciousness which is too plain to be overlooked. And the shadowy character of both is further exposed by the equivocal suggestion that the native should keep his eye or faith pinned to "the bright side" of his position while that position is one of overwhelming darkness and despair. It would indeed be interesting and enlightening as well if Mr. Schrelner or any other well wisher of the native would indicate where the light or hopeful prospect for the native of South Africa lies, when the tolerance and persecution which had already been brought to bear at the hands of white communities has been legalized by his being disfranchised by the act of union, and which the efforts and services of the thousands of Europeans advocating the cause of justice did not avail to prevent. And while the African is bound to appreciate services in the cause of justice and humanity, at the same time he recognizes also that such services are specially directed to arrest injustice with the European himself and have him to conform to the rule of life and to acquire the character which becomes him as the civilized and Christian man which he claims to be. The treatment of the native in the Congo emphasizes the need of the services of many thousands of Europeans still as apostles of righteousness to their own people in the cause of justice—a cause which while indirectly bringing relief to the victims of injustice, has for its substantive object that of redeeming the character of the European and making him more truly an enlightened and Christian man. As regards "the advance" which it is alleged the native has made, we can only say that so far as material things are concerned, it has been an advance which has deprived him of everything as he moved along the path of advancement, and besides leaving him destitute, has ostracized him from both his kindred and patrimony. As regards advance in morals, unhappy evidence exists abundantly to show the kind of advance this has been, while it would be distinctly fatal to the native to advance to a moral stage which should require him to be taught the elementary principles of justice, righteousness and humanity. We have alluded to these matters in order to show how dark and dismal is the outlook as it appears to the black man, and who while surveying all sides for some ray or hope, is pondering seriously on the trivial matter of self-preservation. And the movement for the native to become united in his own interest in South Africa is the inevitable and natural course which the native must take everywhere, as being forced upon him by the inexorable conditions with which he is menaced. "Let us get together" is the step suggested by his awakened consciousness, and the widespread character of which is denoted by a like echo from the gold coast. And while, as is accurately expressed by the editor of Tsaaldea Becona, "the native is not in any way looking for antagonism," he desires to get together in order to discuss the outlook for him, social, political and economic, and to render it possible for the formulation by the native himself from his own standpoint of the stand he should take under the exigencies of present-day life and activities. UPRIGHT LEADERS AND SAFE (From Charlotte Evening Chronicle.) The three weeks' conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, which closed at Clinton Chapel, brought to Charlotte the most representative gathering of colored citizens that perhaps was ever in the city at one time. Men from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylavnia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and from nearly every state east of the Mississippi, have been engaged from day to day in the most important work of the church, a church that represents a membership of over a half million of the best colored people in the country and in the south, upright and law-abiding men and women, who are an honor to their race. The dignity and conservatism with which the venerable bishops of the church have presided from day to day in regular rotation kept the conference deliberations on a high plane, and during the three weeks of the conference many sentiments, opinions and views have been expressed relative to the future welfare of the colored race that would be heartily seconded by every conservative white citizen perhaps in the entire country. The conference was one of harmony and peace, representing the spirit of the great church which it represented as the highest official body of that church. There was never a word of rancor or of race strife uttered, but on the contrary the whole occasion was marked by a spirit of brotherhood and of desire for the best relations possible that might exist between the races while the great subject of the moral welfare of the colored man was always given the leading preference over all other considerations. The assemblage of such men in any city is calculated to draw the attention of the white race to the fact that the brother in black is not only capable of but has already accomplished his sphere the development of men of brains, of deep spiritual insight and of wise and practical counsel, men who can see deeper than the ordinary man into the problem of the black man in America, and who do not hesitate to express those convictions in a manner that carried with it power to impel the concurrence of fair and open minds everywhere. The one act of the candidates for high office of bishop in throwing aside as so many childish trinkets their personal ambitions for the good of the great church which they have sworn fealty to, and thus declare to the world that the service of the master is paramount in their minds and their deliberative bodies, has convinced their white friends that these men are not time-servers or politicians, juggling with the offices of the church. When a score of men said they would get out of the race for bishop in order to maintain the fair name of the church and to keep the peace, they perhaps unconsciously brought upon themselves a higher mead of true honor than they could have achieved in many years as bishop in the church. It was an honest, upright gathering of the best colored men of the country, devoted with one united aim to the furtherance of the cause of that kingdom whose subjects they are. The colored people have safe and sane leaders in these men, if those who attended the Charlotte conference are even average examples of the preachers and church officers of the great institution which they represent, and with the whole country's colored population dominated by such men as these. God-fearing and even sticklers for the tested and tried doctrines of their church, there would be no race problem—such would have no meaning to these men. And yet had it not been for the requests of the newspapers for reports of the proceedings, the whole conference might have met, worked and adjourned, and the world remained uninformed of such a gathering. They exemplify the classic quotation that shallow streams murmur but the deeps are dumb. SPICED RED CABBAGE. Shave a medium sized head of red cabbage and soak for half an hour in cold water, then drain as dry as possible. In a saucepan melt one heaping tablepoonful of butter and add one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper, six whole cloves and one-half cup of good vinegar. Add the drained cabbage, cover and cook slowly, then simmer gently for fully an hour and a half. WIT AND HUMOR Choosing His Passengers. P. V. Daniel, "Virginia Gentleman," was one of the general officers of the old Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad. Even in those days before the Civil War, the road was prosperous, and at a meeting of the board of directors some progressive introduced a resolution to reduce the rate for passengers from 17 cents to 11 cents a mile. Instantly Daniel, who was chairman, declared the motion "out of order." "Why?" protested its patron. "Why!" thundered Daniel. "If you do that, you will have every rag-tag and bobtail in the State of Virginia riding on our road. That's 'why'!" The resolution was unanimously tabled.—Everybody's Magazine.

Cat Ate the Evidence. "Bring in the evidence," ordered Judge Black, when the case of Robert Righter and Edward Hubbard, aged 14 and 11 years respectively, accused of robbing a hencoop, was called. "Ain't none," admitted a court attache. "Where is it?" queried the court. "Black Tom ate it." "Then bring in the cat." Then bring in the cat. "But we can't find him. He's under the house sleeping it off." "This case stands continued until the cat can be produced in court. One of you men sit 'dog watch' on that cat and bring him in dead or alive."

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, 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 special Pullman tourist car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as possible. Some of the strongest men and women of the negro race will be present and speak at the meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men and 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, National Negro Funeral Directors' association, andional Negro Press association, and the National Bar association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the negro people. A GLOBE TROTTING DOG A GLOBE TROTTING DOG CANINE PET OF RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR'S WIFE HAS A RECORD. Mme. Bakhmetieff, wife of the Russian ambassador, has a pet dog, Remmy by name, and Remmy is a claimant for the globe trotting record. He bars dogs that live on tramp steamships. Remmey is a French bulldog, five years old. He was born in Paris, where Mme. Bakhmetieff bought him. Shortly afterward her husband was made ambassador to Japan and Remmey was taken there, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. From Japan he continued on right around the earth and back to Paris, making one complete circuit. Diplomatic entries called M. Bakhmetieff to the far east once more and Mme. Bakhmetieff accompanied her husband on another complete tour of the world, taking Remmey with her. When they got back to Paris he had been around the world twice. Since then the dog has paid visits to many foreign countries. At present he is making himself quite at home in Washington. Whenever he goes walking with Mme. Bakhmetieff he wears a brilliant red collar that attracts attention. Mme. Bakhmetieff is a sister of Mrs. John R. McLean and one of the most prominent leaders in Washington society. WHY MILK SOURS. Perhaps you have often wondered why it is that if you let milk stand for a short time, especially in warm weather, it will turn sour and become unfit to use in your tea or coffee, but if it is boiled and then sealed up in some sort of air-tight can or jar it will keep for any length of time in any weather. Many persons believe that a thunderstorm will turn milk sour, and if you ask them what the thunder, which is nothing but noise, can do to the milk, you will find that they have no idea, but they just know it is so. So, there! The reason that milk turns sour is that it contains a small microbe that makes an acid from the sugar in the milk. When the milk is boiled these microbes are killed and the acid is never developed. Warm air, and even electricity in the air, is very favorable to the rapid growth of these microbes, which are really a sort of plant, and all plants flourish in warmth. The acid which is made by these microbes in the milk is called lactic acid, and if the milk is good and clean it is none the worse for turning sour, although it is not just the thing to put in tea. For some persons sour milk is a much more wholesome drink than sweet milk, and is recommended by some doctors for the cure of certain diseases. There is a famous Chinese statesman who believes he will live to be 150 years old because he drinks so much sour milk every day ASSASSIN SENDS BOMB TO TAFT INFERNAL MACHINE FOUND IN PRESIDENT'S OFFICE—QUICK ACTION SAVES LIVES. SIX POUNDS DYNAMITE BOX CONTAINED SUFFICIENT EX * PLOSIVES TO WRECK EXECUTIVE OFFICES. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—An attempt was made on the life of President Taft when someone sent to the White House an infernal machine addressed to the chief executive. Had the machine gone off, probably everyone in the office of the secretary to the President would have been killed. As it was, Sherman Allen, the assistant secretary, was hurt, and he only slightly. He received a burn on the hand when he smothered the burning fuse which greeted him when he opened the box containing the machine. Secret Service men were promptly notified of the affair and the machine turned over to them for examination. When they had finished they reported that the machine contained six pounds of highly explosive dynamite, powerful enough to have destroyed the executive offices. There is little chance of such an attempt on the life of the chief executive proving successful, for President Taft never opens any of his mail or express packages, every one of them passing through the hands of one or two secretaries. Sherman Allen found the package containing the infernal machine on his desk when he reached the White House Wednesday morning. When he opened it and saw a burning fuse he was quick to act, smothering the fuse with his bare hand. As a consequence he received a slight burn, but saved his life and that of all his fellow workers. The matter was quickly hushed up, only a few persons knowing anything about it. The Secret Service will at once begin an investigation with a view to finding put who sent the machine. This is not the first time an attempt has been made on the life of the President ty means of an infernal machine, but it is the first time one has come so near going off in the office of the President. Just how the infernal machine got into the desk of Assistant Secretary Allen, whose duty it is to open all mail has not yet been determined. All that Allen knows is that he found the small neat-looking package, addressed to the President of the United States on his desk; that he never for a moment thought of the possibility that there was anything wrong with it, and that he opened it as he does all other mail. After removing the outer wrapper he found a small box with a sliding cover. This he slid back only to reveal a fuse which had been ignited by the movement of the cover. Quicker than the thought, he grasped the fuse and jerked it out, at the same time smothering the fire in the palm of his hand. Tenth Death on Ackermann Farm.

Mackinaw Steamer Coat Pretty and Convenient 1 The long coats have been found to be somewhat in the way, so the Mackinaw has become very popular. The various pockets are especially fascinating to the girl who never can have one even in her gown. The Bowler hat can be adjusted in many ways and on a windy day can be velled. HAT AND TIE SETS EN SUITE | GIFTS TO PLEASE BRIDESMAID Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Accessories That Add Immensely to the Effect of the Most Simple Costumes. If you are a pretty girl, filled with the ambition to be always smartly garbed and have not an overplus of money, you can help out your wardrobe wonderfully by means of hat and tie sets. First of all, provide yourself with one of the new small frames of turban or bonnet shape—whichever most becomes you—and cover it with taupe or black velvet as either of those tones will accord with any shade which you may desire to put with them. Then make several bands of precisely the length to fit about the crown of the hat and hook them under bows of broad ribbon. The band may be of fur, of feathers, of a single long plume, of embroidered net or velvet or of silk or worsted flowers, but it should fit the crown so perfectly that it can be whisked off in a minute's time and replaced with another of a different sort. Matching neckties are made of the same materials, but in two ways. A favorite model consists of a band twice the width of the one fitting the hat, and secured under the left ear with a long-ended and short-looped bow of reversible ribbon velvet. Another model consists of a wide band shaped precisely like a stock. This, closing in the back, fits the throat closely, and is trimmed with a four-inch wide plaited frill of ribbon or taffeta matching the bow of the hat band. New Material. One of the prettiest materials of the moment is soft crepe volle, patterned with Turkish towelling. The latter fabric has not, on the whole, much to recommend it as a summer choice, the coarseness of the ruffled surface giving a woolly effect, which makes it hardly ideal for the hottest summer weather. In a combination, however, of porcelain blue and white, the two fabrics look delightfully cool, the towelling forming a border to the hem of the skirt and the wide cuffs of the bodice, while above the hem, on the plain surface of the crepe, occurs a row of raised china blue roses in towelling. Dainty Collar. To wear with colored linen dresses, a sailor collar of sheerest mull is most effective. It requires a half yard of material. After cutting the collar out, finish the edge with an inch-wide frill of finely pleated net. to match may be made with rounded or square corners and edged with the pleated net. If a touch of color is desired, a row of feather stitching where the net is joined to the collar supplies it. Alliance RIng. While the wedding ring is of the foremost interest to the groom, yet it is often discussed jointly by the bride and groom. And to them a new wedding ring is being offered this year called the "Alliance ring." This appears to be one solid ring, but is actually two, the joints being invisible, and whenever engraved the ring is separated by inserting a pin in the inside pinhole, which separate the two rings, and the marking is done on the inside surface. Originality Should Be Aim, and a Little Forethought Will Bring Desired Results. Every bride likes to have something original, and as the ideal gift should be something in an endearing form and the tendency of the season is to have many bridesmaids, the question of expense has also to be considered. It is now quite smart to give a pair of gold or enameled hatpins with intertwined initials of bride and groom and the date of the wedding. Equally appropriate are these set with birthstone of the bride or the different bridesmaids. Small charms for watch or chateaine in bridal emblems are pretty. These might be a tiny garter in deep yellow gold,a wedding bell with initials of bride and bridegroom and date engraved on it, or any oval locket, plain or jeweled, containing pictures of the bride and bridegroom. On the right side should be a large monogram of the bridestwined initials of the bride and bridegroom. Shoe buckles are attractive gifts, and particularly acceptable just now. Recently a bride delighted her wedding party by presents of oblong buckles studded with rhinestones. 'Gold or silver card cases are popular gifts just now. The real gift is one that can be worn for the wedding ceremony itself. SIMPLE COIFFURE LIKED FLEUR While elaborate pins and ornaments are worn in the hair now, the tresses themselves are arranged with simplicity. The coiffure for the evening shows a large knot, low on the head, encircled by a braid which is held in place by large rhinestone set pins and a barrette to match. Tired Eyes. For tired eyes, try lying down for a half hour and putting cool compresses of boracic acid solution over them. Make the compresses by dipping pieces of sterile gauze into a pint of filtered water that has had a third of an ounce of boracic acid thoroughly mixed in it.
