PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY PROTECT NE- GRO VOTERS VOL. XIX. Boley, Okla. Oct. 1.—Having received assurance from President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham that any attempt to prevent them from voting at the polls in November would be thoroughly investigated, the Negroes of Oklahoma are determined to secure their suffrage rights next month and will apply for ballots in large numbers. Since the holding of the Anji-Grandfather Clause convention here several days ago quite a sum has been collected to fight the Grandfather Clause, and the best legal talent will be obtained. At the Anti Grandfather Clause convention Negro voters were present from every section of the State. J. Coody Johnson, of Wewoka, Okla., was named temporary chairman. Mr. Johnson made a short speech telling of the object of the convention, which later went into permanent organization. The Executive Committee is made up of a representatives from every county in the State, who is empowered to organize the Negroes in this country. At the convention letters were read from President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham, which were written to C. Dearman, pledging their support in the fight of the Negroes to prevent the Democrats from unlawfully preventing them from voting. Instructions were given to go to the polls in November, and report any attempt on the part of election officials to stop them from casting their ballots to the United States Commissioner. Further instructions are that if the United States Commissioner fails to do his duty to report him at Washington. The next Anti-Grandfather Clause convention will be held at Boley between December 25 and January 1. The following resolutions were adopted: PREAMBLE: Regarding the Bible as the supreme law of the Land, given to us by Almighty God, by Revelation and inasmuch as it recognizes that all men are created free and equal and in conformity to this divine law the Constitution of these great United States has so declared that all men are born free and equal. We believe it to be sinful, unjust and unchristian for any man, set of men or Organization of men Governmental or otherwise to seek to destroy these God-given rights or Constitutional guarantees. WHEREAS in contravention to the above Preamble the great State of Oklahoma has, through its Legislature, placed a blot upon its escutcheon by adding to its Constitution iniquitious Amendment known as the Grand Father Clause and the same having been upheld by the Supreme Court and, Whereas, the Democratic Party of this State has enforced and are enforcing this Law even in the face of the fact that said Amendment has been declared unconstitutional by the United States District Court of both the Eastern Western Districts, and Whereas, this law is seeking to deprive the Negroes of Oklahoma of the right to vote is violation of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is therefore pernicious discriminative, unlawful, unconstitutional, and void. Therefore, be it Resolved that we, the colored citizens of the State of Oklahoma in convention assembled at Boley this 19th day of September, 1912, do by their Resolutions condemn said Law and pledged ourselves to resist it and its enforcement by every legal and honorable means at our command or guaranteed us under the laws of the land. RESOLVED further:—That this Convention become a permanent Organization to be known as the "Civil Rights League" and that its fields of labor shall be Nation Wide; and that it shall have for its purpose, to combat all laws or proposed laws and the enforcement of same, tending to discriminate against any Citizen on account of his Race, Color or previous condition in this state or elsewhere. RESOLVED further:—That we pledge our strenuous efforts, scanty means and sacred honor in every legal way to stamp out all laws or parts of laws here or elsewhere, that seeks to deprive any American Citizen of the rights guaranteed him under the Constitution of these United States. RESOLVED further:—That this Organization shall have for its immediate and primary object the removal of this iniquitious "Grand Father" clause from the Constitution of the great Commonwealth in which we reside, either by legislative enactment or Judicial decree; and that we pledge our time, talent and money, to the achievement of this much to be desired end. RESOLVED further:—That we hereby pledge ourselves to the support of the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the various States in which we may hereafter labor provided DENVER.

State Hist & Nat Hist Booklet State House HANTS WH ADO JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO they are not in contravention to the Constitution of the United States or inimical to our rights as a people. RESOLVED further:—That this League take upon itself the labor and duty of organizing the Negro all over the United States in the interest of his Civil and Political rights. RESOLVED further:—That we lend our untiring efforts to bring everyman or set of men to justice who attempts or conspires to deprive any man of his right of suffrage. RESOLVED further—That we endorse the action taken by U. S. Attorney, General Wickersham, as indicated in correspondence with Mr. C. Dearman (which was in our possession) and through the press in issuing orders to the U. S. District Attorneys and Commissioners to institute legal and criminal proceedings against any parties conspiring to deprive us of our God-given rights, and we heartily commend his courageous stand in this as well as other instances of right and justice. RESOLVED further:—That we urge upon every Negro in the State of Oklahoma to go to the Polls on Election day in November and vote, and if denied this right and privilege to immediately institute the proper legal proceedings as given him under the laws governing these United States. RESOLVED further:—That he shall have the support of this League, financially or otherwise, through its representative, the Executive Committeemen appointed from each County as provided for in this meeting and he shall take the lead in carrying out the aims and purposes of this section of these Resolutions; reporting the same to the executive head of this Organization. RESOLVED further:—That we call upon the liberty-loving Negro everywhere, but most especially in the State of Oklahoma to assist us every way, both financially and otherwise that it is within their power to achieve success in this very worthy and necessary object. This we invite the co-operation of all Contemporary Organization in this great fight for Civic righteousness and political freedom. Humbly submitted, E. O. Tyler, chairman; Dr. Isaac W. Young, Sec.; C. E. Corbett, M. A. Sorrel, J. H Calloway, Rev. C. W. Kidd, W. A. E. Bailey, G. W. F. Sawner, S. M. Sanders, Dr. D. W. Bryant and W. L. Jones. Savannah, Ga., is to have a four story hotel by and for colored people on the European plan. A lunch counter, buffet service at any hour and, roof garden will be some of the features. NO NEGROES IN CALHOUN CO. ILL. It is the boast of Calhoun county, Ill., of having neither Negroes nor railroads within its bonds. And was much surprised recently when several citizens came upon a colored man who had penetrated far into the county. A committee immediately, if not sooner, marched the invader to the river, put him on a barge and towed him across to Green county where he got a running start South. The Negro's advent in Calhoun county was accidental. He was forced to jump from an excursion boat when he became involved in a quarrel with the mate, and when he swam ashore he found himself near Hardin. He immediately started inland, knowing he would be chased back into the river. History tells of no Negro who has spent an entire night in Calhoun county. DR. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S VIEWS ON PROHIBITION. Booker T. Washington recently published the result of an extensive inquiry into the relation between prohibition and crime among Negroes in Alabama. Summarizing the replies from sheriffs for the rural districts and from chiefs of police for the cities, it seems fair to say that prohibition lessens crime wherever it is effective—that is, where the prohibitory law results in notable decrease in consumption of liquor. It is also fair to say that this condition is rather rare. One civic officer after another reports that there has been no decrease in crime, because bibulous Negroes—and whites—still obtain liquor with ease. Whisky is shipped in from Florida. Many Negroes have resorted to "bootlegging," being tempted by the easy profits of that industry. The liquor is of the worst quality, and is drunk by the bottleful instead of by the glassful. Those arrested for drunkenness are often completely stupefied. The reports of Dr. Washington tend to confirm the opinions that The Colorado Statesman has always expressed, that an ineffectual prohibition law makes for intemperance. Unless prohibitory laws of whatever nature are enforced they are worse than no laws at all. Danger to Aviators. It is difficult to determine the cause of most automobile accidents, but during the investigation which followed the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sevelle recently in France an important discovery is said to have been made by eye-witnesses. This was that the wing of his Bierlot broke downward instead of upward, indicating that there was an extreme downward pressure as the operator started to volplane. Experiments lately made in France are said to have confirmed this, and it is now believed to be necessary to guy the wings as substantially above as below RACE NEWS A Negro life-term convict in Michigan City prison, Indiana, was granted leave of the days' absence August 3 to go to his home in New Albany without guard to see the last of his sister, who was dying. A tract covering nine city blocks in Wilmington, N. C., valued at about $30,000, has been set apart by an act of congress for a Negro school. A $40,000 building is to be erected at once. The tract a1joins the marine hospital. Madison White, a Negro, has been granted a life pension by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad after having served that company for more that years. White came to Chicago recently from Nashville, Tenn., where he has lived, the natives say, for almost a century. In no school for Afro-American pupils in New Orleans is instruction given in any grade higher than the sixth. The Southern Democrats seem determined to keep the race down. The colleges for the education of Afro-American youth in the South are crowded with students. Republican prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 1. It was decided by the National Committee of Management of the Mosaic Templars of America, which met here in annual session last week, to invest $20,000 of the surplus of the order in Arkansas securities. The order will also establish a health bureau where Negroes will be taught to properly observe the laws of hygiene. Sixty-five of the porters employed in the subway tunnel, tube and overhead service of the Boston Elevated Street Railway Company were admitted as members of the Street Carmen's Union last week. These members of the union probably will have a division of their own, officials stated, and it is expected that all the porters in the employ of the company will be taken into the union within a few days. When the people of the United States make a solid stand for law and order, mob violence and jim-crow misfit accommodations on railroads and other public conveyances will come to a speedy end. NO 5 But in order to bring about such a change it must be borne in mind that we must give our political support to such men as are in favor of full manhood rights, civil and political, for all the people regardless of race or color. Muskogee, Oklahoma, Sept. 25. Because they imported colored cotton pickers into a section where colored people had never been allowed to stay, three white farmers, Sam Robinson, W. A. Larimore and John Hilton, were shot by a band of white men who organized to drive the colored out and found the white farmers on the ground to protect their cotton pickers. More trouble is feared and the sheriff, with a strong force of deputies, has gone to Briartown, near which place the shooting took place. Washington, Sept. 26.—Mrs. Annie Wilson, wife of Upton Wilson, a laborer, applied to the juvenile court today for an order requiring her husband to support their two children, and in her plea declared she had just made the discovery that for four years she had been married to a mulatto. The discovery was not made until the husband's mother came to visit them for the first time and revealed the husband's race. Wilson had explained his color to his wife before their marriage, she declared, by saying he was of Indian descent. The marriage occured in Boston four years ago. Houston, Tex., Oct. 1. Texas has a Negro town, which will be known as Roberts, Texas. On Saturday, September 28, Roberts was formerly introduced to the world; and excursions were run from adjacent cities. Quite a number of Negro citizens from Houston attended the opening. The principal address was delivered by Prof. E. L. Blackshear of Prairie View. There was much speech-making and singing, and Roberts started off under the most favorable conditions. The new town has been named after "Ed." Roberts, a wealthy Negro citizen who owns the entire townsite. Surrounding the town are about fifteen thousand acres, controlled and cultivated by members of the race. The Palacios branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad runs through the center of the property. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS No task within human power is impossible of accomplishment when concerted action is exerted; for that which is burdensome to the few, becomes easy to the many whose united efforts are utilized. Those mighty enterprises which have benefited mankind in every age are the results of that combination outlined by human genius, and operated by numbers for the service of man. The agencies elicited for the exploration of earth's hidden treasures are the powerful inventions of human skill which the necessity of the times evokes to reduce to practical usage. Things of magnitude could never be operated without the existence of this combination, so necessary to the betterment of conditions. The prosperity of the world is dependent upon its practice; and civilized nations owe their greatness to having imbibed it into their racial customs. Individuals as well as races rise or fall in proportion to the manner in which they accept or reject this principle; and the least prosperous are those who exhibit their indifference to this vital issue. To stride upward is a prime consideration in human thought and, although abundant fruit may not reward desires, it usually proves responsive to energy and persistence. The creation of comforts for our enjoyment emerges from the source of upion, which backing endeavors enables the performers to achieve wonderful results. The noble deeds wrought in the interest of our fellowman are spurs to ambition along similar lines, the possession of which proves a blessing to all who fall beneath their influence. In the march of progress, the laggard who falls behind the procession is wholly lost to view; and that little which his feeble activity contributes to civilization is overshadowed by the brilliant achievements of more daring spirits. The times are ever gliding forward to wider realms Hoarded energy should never be dissipated in useless expenditures nor should it lie dormant when opportunity for betterment presents itself. The greatest benefits which adorn the age result from that mutual assistance which mankind lends his brother, thus strengthening his purpose to grapple with the problems of life. A people incapable of realizing the beneficial efforts of organized and co-operative union, whether in government or any other sphere of action, will ever be the prey of the more progressive, who readily recognize their advantage and will use it in usurping the rights of their brethren. It is upon this ground that the caucasian is enabled to subdue the earth. Professing the less-favored location geographically, he has pushed his prowess into distant climes and unfurled to the breeze his banner in the most favorable of earth's domains. These gifts are granted as rewards to the spirit of chivalry, which in every age crowned heroic brows. It is not thus with the sons of Ham. Granted the garden spot of all the lands within the gift of Jehovah, yet, because of his lack of cohesive force, he is an alien in his own home and forced to accept whatever of privileges the usurpers may choose to bestow. The negro may not always be belated. Necessity may teach him what intuition taught others, and may be profit by the lessons which his circumscribed situation has given. Then he, too, will see the good to be derived from union in whatever he undertakes.—Atlanta Ethiopian Leader. "Plant your feet firmly and squarely on the ground, throw back your shoulders, fold your arms and swear in most emphatic terms that you are strong, healthy and well. Do this for a few minutes every evening, and even if this is not how you actually feel, maintain by your physical and mental attitude that it is your condition, and you will soon find that it becomes so and that you are not really telling liee." This was the advice given by Dr. J. Stenson Hooker in a lecture on "Torturing and Posing for Health," in connection with the opening of the simple life conference and exhibition in London. Phillias Gagne of Montreal claims the championship of the world at bricklaying. In a day of nine hours at Montreal he laid in a wall eight inches thick and 50 feet long 6,218 brick. In a wall 16 inches thick and 50 feet long his record is 7,162 bricks. In a wall 20 inches,thick and 50 feet long he laid 9,015 bricks. This work, he says was approved by the architects and contractors. A new source of rubber supply has been announced to the French Academy of Sciences in a gum found in abundance in the Malay peninsula and archipelago. It is easily gathered and contains from 1 0to20 per cent. of pure gum. Plans for the new freezing plant at the port of La Plata, which is to be erected in accordance with a concession by the Argentine congress to an American concern, have been prepared, and work on the building will soon begin. In his thirteenth annual address to the Negro Business league at Chicago, as reported in the Tuskegee Student, Dr. Booker T. Washington said, with regard to business openings in the south: "This is an era of specialization and organization. Our race should take heed of this and act. To be more specific, there are places in the south for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, and there are colored people enough to support them. In the south the negro merchant is not dependent upon the trade of his own race alone, but throughout the south, while there is prejudice in other directions, in business the negro has little prejudice to contend with along this line. Not only the colored man trades at the colored man's dry goods store, but the best white people are not afraid to patronize a first-class negro store; and the same thing is true of other business enterprises owned and controlled by colored people. "There are openings in the south for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, for 8,500 drug stores. There are openings in the south for 2,000 shoe stores, 1,500 millinery stores; and there are communities in the south where 2,000 negro banks can be operated and supported. Further than this, there are places in the south where twenty-five self-governing, self-supporting, self-directing towns or cities may be established, where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of government." Trade follows the demand at home as it does the flag abroad. There is no doubt or shadow of turning about that. For every trade opening in white settlements there are half-dozen applicants for the available store space, and when it is once taken it is hard to get the owner out of it, as the longer he remains in it the more valuable as a business place it should become to him, and, therefore, to others. This is true of large as of small available store space for business purposes. White men understand this principle thoroughly; negroes have yet to learn it, having but recently made a beginning, but the sooner they learn it thoroughly the better for them. White men are neither ashamed nor afraid to go into negro communities, preempt the store space, and, beginning in a small way gather to themselves the trade. When they have done it it is hard, very hard, for would-be belated negro tradesmen to get them out of the district and they often bankrupt themselves in the effort. If the negroes do not take advantage of the trade opportunities in the south Dr. Washington points out as waiting for them white men will do it. It does not matter if the opportunity is a small one; take advantage of it and make the most of it.—New York Age. Miss Anna Beggs of Memphis, Tenn., is now a deputy clerk and master of chancery. She now has the right to swear witnesses and sign court papers. She is the first woman in Tennessee to hold that position, following passage of recent legislation in Nashville extending the qualifications to include women. A fund of $100,000 has been placed at the disposal of the Scandinavian-American society by Nels Paulson, a New York manufacturer. Mme, Lilli Lehmann, the German prima donna, has issued a stirring appeal to Berlin dog lovers. A new dog law is soon to go into effect at Berlin, whereby every dog for which the owner has failed to pay the dog tax must be turned loose, either to be captured by the authorities for slaughter or to become the prey of dog thieves. Writing to the newspapers, Mme. Lehmann says that Berlin is likely to present "a picture of premediaeval horror." The prima donna calls upon dog owners who cannot pay the new tax to do their pets at least "a last favor" by handing the animals to the Anti-Cruelty society, which will kill the dogs, free of charge, as humanely as possible. Mrs. Willis A. Lenard, who is employed in the treasury department at Washington, is said to have detected more counterfeit bills than any other person in the world. For 40 years she has handled the bulk of the suspected money. Examining 16,000 notes is considered a good day's work, but Mrs. Leonard has become so expert that she easily handles 22,000. The Pan-American railway and the Vera Cruz to the Pacific railway have passed to the operative control of the National Railways of Mexico, thus giving the latter a continuous service from border to border, with the exception of a small break in the center of the republic. The next thing you hear about a man who has become famous is that he wants a divorce. After the wedding presents are exchanged—what? PACINOTTI NO PUSHER ITALIAN INVENTED A DYNAMO WITH RING ARMATURE. But He Let the Discovery Slumber, and Seven Years Later It Was Developed by Gramme, the Hustling Belgian. At a moment when an admiring world echoes with the achievements of one Italian electrical inventor, there passes from the earth in deepest obscurity another Italian to whom the arts and sciences are also under obligation, and the contrast is dramatic, the Scientific American remarks. Incidentally, it may be noted that the country of Volta by some curious process of heredity or continuance always holds her own in the industry to which Volta gave birth, but only the student knows that alongside the gleaming name of Marconi may also be set those of Pacinotti and Ferraris. As far back as 1864 the gentle Italian physician Pacinottl introduced timidly to public notice a small electro magnetic machine, with toothed ring armature, which, he pointed out with prophetic instinct, was available both as a motor and as a generator. And then nothing happened! But when the celebrated Gramme dynamo with its ring armature arrested universal attention, seven years later, the unobtrusive professor dug up his treatise and his machine and showed beyond a doubt he was entitled to the credit of the discovery, although he lacked the essential driving power to turn it into a device useful to mankind. There perhaps lies the lesson of his career. We need physical discoveries and reverse those who seek the truth for its own sake. But mankind with keen instinct saves its warmest acclaim for those who also make discoveries of some avail in adding to the length of life, its joy, its possibilities and its conveniences. Had not the hustling Belgian, Gramme, come along with his famous dynamo and sanguine French backers. Pacnotti would have let his model slumber forever in museums and cabinets, just where many things the world is waiting for linger now. The fact that Y. Pacnotti so little realized what he had done and what his really great inventive ability meant, is shown by the curious fact that the work and the studies of his later years were devoted to vine culture. If he did anything significant there the records of our time fail to show it, but meanwhile the glorious torrent of electrical invention has swept on so fast and so far to many people even this bold recognition of the amiable doctor's genius may seem a bit superfluous. Early Aeroplanes. Not so very long ago a deliver among literary antiquities turned up a notebook of Leonardo da Vinci's in which appeared sketches of aeroplanes, and now comes an amusing Frenchman with citations to prove that Dante must have flown. They are genuine citations. You can find them for yourself in the seventeenth canto of the Inferno, where Dante and Virgil go riding on the back of an immense beast, which is obviously poetic license meaning an aeroplane. Says Virgil to Dante: "Thou hast need to show strength and audacity;" then to the alleged beast, "Describe a wide circle in descending." Says Dante: "The beast continued to descend, slowly, slowly, turning as he went down. . . . I was aware of motion only because of the wind that whistled around me and over my head. . . . I ventured to look down a moment, but was chilled with terror." Q. E. D. Killing With Electricity. The French people, scientists as well as owners of slaughter houses and consumers of beef, mutton and pork, have become interested in experiments for the more humane killing of animals—especially for food products not only to save the creatures from unnecessary pain, but to better the condition of meats which go to the consumer. Dr. S. Leduc, who has been conducting the experiments at the abattoir in Naites, has killed by electricity a great number of animals—oxen, bulls, cows, horses, hogs, sheep, calves and dogs—using a current of 110 volts, with an intensity of from 40 to 80 milliamperes. The current was interrupted 100 times per second, passing each time during one-thousandth of a second. The result was satisfactory, but no detailed report has been made, because the experiments are to be followed up at the abattoir at Rogensburg and also in Germany. Valuable Document Stolen. Variable Document Stolen. In the Spanish capital the police have arrested a Frenchman named Gaston, on a charge of stealing priceless historic documents in Paris. He attempted to sell three documents, which wer seized by the police. They were the secret treaty between Louis XIV. of France and Philip IV. of Spain, signed in 1659; the marriage contract of Maria Theresa and Louis XIV., when the latter declared, "The Pyrenees no longer exist!" and a parchment of the Emperor Charles V. The Paris police had given notice of the loss of these documents. Economy a La Mode. "Eats a 5-cent lunch every day." "Yes; she's trying to save $30 to buy a willow plume. LOST WITH ALL ON BOARD Many Ocean Liners Have Disappeared, Leaving No Survivor to Tell of the Disaster. A writer in Chambers Journal recalls the number of vessels which have from time to time disappeared mysteriously, leaving not a single survivor to tell the story. In the North Atlantic service alone, between 1841 and 1890, no fewer than 24 big steamers were totally blotted out of human knowledge, together with their crews and passengers, numbering 1,451. The President, with 136 souls on board, was the first of these to be lost forever in 1841. The City of Glasgow disappeared in 1854 without leaving a trace, and she had 480 souls on board. In 1856 the Pacific, with a living freight of 240, salied from Liverpool in June, and was never more heard of. The Tempest, with 150 souls, mysteriously disappeared in 1859. The City of Boston, with 170 persons, vanished in 1870. The Huronian, an Allan liner, disappeared in 1902; and the British gunboat, Condor, was lost in the Pacific in 1901. In 1893 a cattle steamer, the Naronic, with 77 aboard, was lost. As to the possible causes of the catastrophes, it is only possible to surmise. Capsizing, damage from within, such as explosion, breakdown of machinery, or fire; or damage from without, such as collision with an iceberk or with a derelict hulk, have all been suggested to explain the losses of vessels. The Captain capsized, and hundreds of lives were lost, and it is now generally assumed that the Warathah capsized by reason of topheaviness. As to the damage to machinery, there is the case of the City of Paris, which had a big smash in one of her engine rooms in 1890. She was near the Irish coast, but though both engine rooms were filled with water in ten minutes, she was kept afloat to her watertight compartments for three days till help came to tow her into Queenstown. In the case of a fire, everything, probably, would be consumed to the water's edge, and if this happened far from land, the chances of rescue would be remote. Heavy weather and tidal waves with the older vessels, at any rate, were probably other reasons for shipwreck. Tracing the Dog's Descent. It seems to be generally accepted by naturalists and the world at large that the domestic dog is in some sense a collateral descendant of the wolf or jackal, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. A professor at the Natural History Museum in Paris has communicated results of his study of various canine skulls to the academy of sciences. He appears to have noticed certain percularities of growth which have hitherto escaped zoologists. He states that the skull of almost every species of wolf and jackal differs from the skull of the shepherd dog to an extent that makes it impossible that this dog should belong in the same classification. The skull of the Indian wolf, on the contrary, shows some points of resemblance. This, indeed, is the only savage canine the top of whose head protects like that of the dog. There are, moreover, other characteristics which the Indian wolf has in common with the dog, and which the ordinary wolf does not share with them, although his origin and that of the dog have long been supposed to be a common one. The conclusion of this scientist is that the Indian wolf is the progenitor of the shepherd dog and the bloodhound. There were two primitive races of dogs analogous to these which were first domesticated in central Asia, whence they passed to Europe, and there seems no reason to doubt that the bloodhound of today is the direct descendant of the dog spoken of by the ancients as "the dog of the age of bronze." Berlin's News of Waterloo. There has just been published Blucher's dispatch which gave Berlin the first news of the victory of Waterloo. It was addressed to the governor, and read: "I inform your excellency that in conjunction with the English army under Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington I yesterday gained the most complete victory over Napoleon Bonaparte that could possibly be won. "The battle was fought in the neighborhood of some isolated buildings on the road from here to Brussels bearing the name 'La Belle Alliance,' and a better name can hardly be given to this important day. The French army is in complete dissolution and an extraordinary number of guns have been captured. "Time does not at this moment permit me to send further details to your excellency. I reserve them for a future occasion and beg you duly to communicate this joyful news to the good Berliners. BLUCHER." The dispatch reached Berlin on June 24, 1812 —From London Globe.

Senator Burton of Ohio, spoke at the Auditorium Tuesday evening, following in the wake of Gov. Wilson. There was a large and enthusiastic audience present who listened to his timely words with rapt attention. He gave special attention to the tariff, which is the chief issue in this campaign. But on this subject Gov. Wilson gave him little opportunity in Denver, for he failed to say anything of importance on the tariff in his Denver address. Notwithstanding the great importance of that issue in this state, Gov. Wilson refrained from expressing his views. Senator Burton stated his own and the Republican party's position respecting the tariff issue with a clearness and force in the highest degree satisfactory to all believers in the policy of protecting American industries against injurious foreign competition. He brought out the fact that the policy of the Republican party is to promote diversity in industrial development. In a country of such vast extent as the United States, so varied in its resources, and possessing so many climatic advantages according to locality, this diversified development is practicable in a high degree. This country is in the position which Europe would occupy were the whole of that continent thrown into one great customs union with free trade among its several parts. Between the states of the American union there is free trade, but together, they form a vast customs union, producing within its borders a large percentage of what the home market demands, while protecting that vast market against foreign invasion. ILL-FOUNDED EXPECTATIONS s general ideas of the powers and to establish and maintain social privi particular class of people are largely crisms of the Republican party because to abolish the Jim Crow laws pass that it does not absolutely put a scribe a restrictive authority in a man The Negro's general ideas of the powers and possibilities of a political party to establish and maintain social privileges for the enjoyment of any particular class of people are largely erroneous. We often hear criticisms of the Republican party because it does not boldly take steps to abolish the Jim Crow laws passed by Southern Legislatures, or that it does not absolutely put a stop to lynchings, or otherwise exercise a restrictive authority in a manner to make the Negro's lot just as happy and just as easy as that of other classes of citizens who, as classes, know nothing of these afflictions. These criticisms are not altogether just, because the questions involved are social more than political, and are subject, first of all and almost solely, to the authority vested in the people of the several states, or are grounded, rightly or wrongly, in the sentiment of the people of communities, states or sections. The greatest of the Negro's ills grow out of race prejudice, and this prejudice, so called, partakes of the quality of public sentiment, because it is so generally shared by racial elements and is not in fact restricted by political affiliations. Race prejudice is a white man's disease, not at all monopolized by Democrats. It cannot be overcome by law nor by any other form of restrictive force. Its cure lies only in the way of social development and so far as it is curable, it must come through the slow development of refining influences, touching and improving both races, and the gradual amelioration of hard and repulsive social relations. Law or political power can help this development only in a general and far-off way, as by the increase of educational facilities, the regulation or control of common carriers engaged in interstate commerce, the extension of civil service and such other restricted supervision as national authority warrants. Every state controls its own citizens beyond the point of general restriction established by the provision of the national constitution. This is the reason why we have repeatedly declared against the empty profession of political "friendship" for the black man in national Republican platforms. It means nothing that can be enforced by law, and it creates and keeps alive expectations which have no possible chance of realization through political channels. one of the chief topics of conversation. All designed for it. In the writer's opinion it is a day extravagance. Most of us are living long things we cannot afford. Thousands are mobiles.

We have three markets where there life who will visit the market and make her percentage over the woman who sits at home. Production of food and cheaper means of dismeed economy or suffer the consequences. By H. H. GROSS, President National Soil Fertility League IN THESE days this is one of the chief topics of conversation. All sorts of reasons are assigned for it. In the writer's opinion it is largely due to modern day extravagance. Most of us are living beyond our means, buying things we cannot afford. Thousands are borrowing money to buy automobiles. The middle classes today are living better than many kings and nobles lived three hundred years ago. Is it after all the high cost of living, or the cost of living high? As a people we do not know what economy means. The plain, simple fare of our grandfathers that gave sturdy men and strong women is supplemented with fare that is over-rich, too highly seasoned and an unnecessary variety. Thousands are buying porterhouse steaks on a soup-bone income. A little study of household economics will disclose to the housewife how she may use the cheaper cuts of meat and prepare wholesome, palatable food. In most households the garbage can is the most expensive boarder. It is everyone's duty to economize and we ought to be proud of our success along this line instead of indulging in wasteful extravagances and calling people's attention to the fact. The whole system of marketing is cumbersome, unscientific, and makes for extravagance and waste. There are too many persons employed between the producer on the farm and the consumer's table. Co-operative buying will help reduce the cost. We have three markets where there should be one. The housewife who will visit the market and make her selections will save a large percentage over the woman who sits at home and orders by telephone. We must have a larger production of food and cheaper means of distribution and some old-fashioned economy or suffer the consequences. Women writers have not chosen masculine pen names because they wished to appear masculine or to ape men in any way. They chose them simply as a matter of protection from a business standpoint. They knew, just as every woman who has lived long enough knows, that it is in the very nature of men to belittle a woman's work in every possible way and at every possible opportunity. Many women today in the business world use their initials only in dealing with men, providing there is a separating distance between them and the men with whom the would not dare give to one of his own sex woman and so the woman gets on the do business protection and that only.

"Why should people be doomed to a lonely, joyless life just because they are no longer young?" Why should not a woman of 55 and a man of 60, or a woman of 60 and a man of 70 or 75 for that matter, live their own lives, in their own way, have a home of their own and be independent, where they can sleep when they choose, get up when they like and eat what and when they please and not be obliged to conform to the rules and regulations of other people's households?

There appears to be a disposition on the part of many to criticise the girl of the period for her eccentricities in dress, but do her critics realize the peculiar position in which the girl finds herself? Her mother, doubtless, has taught her that her principal business in life is to attract mankind, and in order to do this she, naturally, proceeds along the lines of least resistance, or, to use a common expression, she "travels on her shape."

Burglaries who broke into a Paris flat recently removed all the fashionable pannier dresses belonging to the mistress of the house and left a number of old skirts. "The police," says a Paris correspondent, "suspect a fashion expert." We, on the other hand, are inclined to wonder if the burglary was not committed by the lady's husband, who may easily have been a simple-hearted fellow who wished to see his wife becomingly dressed for a week or two.—Bystander James G. Blaine had the rare gift of dismissing from his presence any one who had come to him for a favor which he could not grant, with a feeling that he was his big brother, and grieved to death at the compulsion of refusal. Although Blaine was universally beloved, yet he was defeated for the highest office in the gift of the people.—From the Magazine of American History. WELTON TRUNK MFG. CO. Geo. Brandenburg, Prop.

Dear Sir: I will cheerfully recommend the Twentieth Century Wonder to anyone suffering with rheumatism or bad colds and liver complaints.

After using about two packages I was entirely cured from cough and pain and am pleased to bear testimony to the virtue of your medicine. Respectfully, THERON HALLIDAY, 2117 Arapahoe St. Chicago, Ill. I was a lunger, suffering for a long time. A benefited friend endorsed Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea. I took several packages of the tea and have not been troubled with my lungs since.

Charles Stewart, preacher, lecturer and the only Negro in the United States connected with the Associtaed Press, delivered his famous lecture, "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked," at Zion Baptist church Monday evening to a large and enthusiastic audience. Wit, wisdom and humor flowed forth from his nimble tongue in an intermittent stream. His audience was moved to such laughter that tears coursed down their cheeks. Such mimicry was never seen or heard before in this city. As a platform entertainer Stewart is in a class by himself. Rev. A. L. Carey of Chicago has spent nearly two weeks in Colorado, this being his first trip to the Centennial state. Naturally he has seen much to interest him. He has divided his time between Denver, Colorado Springs rado Springs and Pueblo, where he has addressed large audiences. Rev. Carey is one of the most eloquent, forceful and electrifying pulpitiers of the age and a convincing speaker. Last Sunday morning he preached at Shorter's A. M. E. church, and at night at Campbell's A. M. E. church. At both places he was greeted by large audiences. Wednesday night at Shorter's he delivered his masterly lecture, "The Black Phalanx," which was replete with wisdom and timely thoughts, to a large and appreciative audience. He left the city Thursday for home, much pleased with the hearty welcome accorded him by our people. Mrs. Sarah A.

She was buried at beautiful Riverside, Douglas Undertaking company in charge. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. 20th and Clarkson St. The pastor and members of Scott's wish to thank the following churches and their representatives who so nobly assisted in the rally last Sunday afternoon: Bethlehem Baptist, Rev. A. E. Reynolds; Shorter, Rev. R. L. Pope; Zion, Rev. D. E. Over; Campbell, Rev. H. Franklin Bray. The Rev. A. J. Carey was present and spoke words of encouragement to the clubs who wrought so nobly. The rally was a great success. The next effort will be the first of the new year. Miss Callie McPherson gave a candy pulling last Monday night for the benefit of the Blues. It was a novel entertainment and was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Lucy Coleman made a flying trip to Pueblo last week to visit the state fair. Mrs. H. W. Pierson is confined to her bed this week. We wish her a speedy recovery. Messrs. Thomas and McPherson, the two captains of the recent rally, covered themselves with glory in their magnificent work for the rally. The clubs will continue to rally until the mortgage is paid on the first of the year. They had the hearty co-operation of their faithful lieutenants. The Rev. H. Franklin Bray delivered a very strong and forceful sermon last Sunday afternoon on "There Shall Be No More Sea." The discourse made many friends for the new pastor of Campbell's. We invite the doctor to come again. The pastor will preach both morning and evening Sunday. Morning subject, "The Beatitude of the Giver," and evening, "Am I a Real Christian?" You are invited to worship with us. A resolution has been introduced in the Alliance which puts a check upon proselyteing in the various churches of the city. A member coming from another church must come for conscience sake and must have a clear record in the other church. It is bad taste for any minister to run down disgruntled members and take sides in their grievances in order to get them in his church. This is a reflection upon the church of Jesus Christ. The sooner this method of church membership increase is abandoned the better it will be for the church. Miss Love and Mrs. Swanson of Colorado Springs are in the city to remain indefinitely. They will work with Scott's. CAMPBELL A. M. E. CHURCH. Campbell chapel A. M. E. church, corner 23d and Lawrence streets. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D.D., pastor. Glorious revival services are going on at this church every evening. Revs. J. P. Watson and wife and T. H. Wiseman are rendering invaluable assistance and the community in general seems to be deeply interested. The pastors and members of all the churches are invited to co-operate with us this week. Services all day Sunday; preaching at 11 a. m., 3 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago preached a wonderful sermon to a packed house Sunday evening. All over the house strong men could be seen weeping and surrendering to the powerful argument of this man of God. A great ingathering of precious souls is expected this week. Let everybody remember our Thanksgiving rally, which will take place Sunday, November 24. Little Joe Beaty of the Sunday school department is reported on the sick list this week. Lawyers Townsend and Ross worshiped with us Sunday, as well as many others from out of town. This is the stranger's home. Come and meet your friends. Rev. H. L. Marque and family of Bellefontaine, Ohio, will arrive in the city next week and unite with this church. Mrs. Marque is a very fine musician and vocalist and will add a deal to the efficiency of the choir. The pastor, with several members, worshiped at Scott chapel Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a pleasant hour with Dr. Wallace and his church. PEOPLE'S BOOK. The eyes of the world are upon me.

How the Shabbily Dressed Man Administered Gentle But Effective Reproof to the Owner of the Pillaged Brooklyn Garden. Two poorly dressed little girls stood outside the garden of a handsome residence in St. Mark's avenue, Brooklyn, and gazed longingly at the beautiful white and scarlet peonies that bloomed within. Finally the temptation became irresistible, and the elder, scaling the low hedge that separated the garden from the street, proceeded to help herself to the flowers. She had two of the blooms in her hands and was reaching for a third when a smartly dressed woman dashed out of the house and seized her. "Now, you little thief, I'm going to turn you over to the police," she said. "Oh, please, missus," begged the child, groveling at her feet; "oh, please don't get me arrested! I only wanted a few—and they looked so pretty." But the woman was adamant. She was slowly dragging the child toward the sidewalk and repeating her threat about the police when a shabby looking man came along. He gazed at the two for an instant, while an expression of pained surprise came over his face. Then, raising his dingy derby politely, he inquired what the trouble was. "Nothing," snapped the woman, "except that I caught this little thief stealing my peonies. And I'm going to teach her a lesson if I have to take her to the station house myself." A curious look came into the shabby man's eyes. Then he began to fumble in his pockets. A few seconds later he held out to the woman an open palm on which two dimes reposed. "If these'll pay for what damage she's done, I wish you'd take them and let her go," he said. An indignant blush spread over the woman's face, and then it deepened—into a blush of shame. She relaxed her grasp on the little girl's arm and there she paused and turned toward the shabby one, who still held the two dimes in his hand: "I'm sorry," she said, "and—I thank you."—New York Evening Mall. Got Even With Old Crusty. Old Crusty, as his name implied, was not a man who was gifted with geniality. His neighbors, in fact, had as little to do with him as possible. However, when a new visitor came to the town and moved into the house next to him, and knowing not of Mr. Crusty's little falling, there was likely to be trouble soon. Wanting a book one day, he politely inquired of Mr. C. if he might borrow one from his library. "You're welcome to read books in my library," was the ungrateful reply, "but I make it my rule never to let any leave my house." Some weeks later Mr. C. was in need of a lawnmower, and he asked the loan of his neighbor's. "Certainly," was the reply. "But since I make it a rule never to let it leave my lawn, you will be obliged to use it here!"—Answers, London. Age of Valleys. The erosive power of water is hard to estimate with any degree of exactness. A method of computing the probable age of valleys will therefore be welcome, even if the figures may seem to some open question. A French scientist has lately reported the results of his studies of the erosive action of an ancient spring in the valley of Lauroux, near Lodeve, France. This spring produces about three and one-half quartes of water a second, and in every cubic meter of water (35,314 cubic feet), the scientist found 362 grams of calcareous sand. He estimates that the spring erodes 247 pounds of rock dally, or over 45 tons annually. In the course of a century a stream of this size would be able to hollow out a circular cave 52 feet in diameter and 52 feet in length. At the end of 1,000 years it would make a valley 32 feet deep, 64 feet wide and 238 feet long. Origin of Salt In Ocean. The origin of the salt in the sea is usually attributed to the constant washing of salts from the land by rain and rivers, and the gradual depositing of them in the sea, through evaporation. In every 100 parts of sea water there are about two and one-half parts of salt. It has been computed that there are 4,500,000 cubic miles of rock salt in the oceans. $14\frac{1}{2}$ times the bulk of the continent of Europe above high-water mark. The Atlantic/is much saltier than the other oceans. Prof. Alexander Weckow, of St. Petersburg, believes that this is due to the large amount of water vapor that is carried onto the continents bordering this ocean which are comparatively low where they front the sea.

The makers of imitation precious gems copy nature with remarkable success. Zircons are composed of zirconia. Their luster is deceptive, a means having been discovered of extracting the color, thus leaving them diamonds to all appearances, although their falseness promptly proclaims itself under test. Precious stones are frequently dyed with such thoroughness that, it is said, the stone may be broken without discovery of the process—that is, by the uninitiated. The village of Oberstein, in Germany, devotes itself to the making of imitation jewelry and the dyeing of chalcedony and other stones. The onyx, carnelian, bloodstone, and agate may be enriched in color by immersion in the dye-pot. The stones are placed in vessels containing the coloring matter and are then subjected to great heat for periods varying from a few hours to a week or more. In the case of chalcedony, which shows bands of different degrees of intensity, certain of the bands take the color and others do not. The stone then receives a further stewing in pots containing other dyes. Fluorspar is capable of great improvement in tint when subjected to a heating process and crucidolite is given a hue of blood-red by a similar method. The emerald and the cat's-eye are of all stones the most easily imitated. One family at Oberstein is said to possess the secret of converting crucidolite into cat's-eye. Cat's-eye may also be made of aragonite, some of the hornblende and even of fibrous gypsum.—Harper's Weekly. On a Lasting Strike A man in rags, who proved to be of good family and once a barrister at the court of Marselles, was arrested in Paris the other morning for being without visible means of support. "Why don't you work?" he was asked by the magistrate. "I do not like work," was the ingenuous reply. The prisoner went on to say that although he was a lawyer in a good position, social obligations and the necessity of wearing good clothes became irksome to him twenty years ago. He left Marselles, his family, his friends, and respectability to tramp the roads of France, where he could breathe, he says, as he could not breathe in the trammels of convention. After some years he got tired of tramping and enlisted in the Foreign Legion under a false name. He remained with the corps for ten years, and then came back to France to tramp the roads again, begging as he went. The magistrate offered to find this incurable vagabond food and lodging in a home, but he refused, and was therefore sent to prison. Found Use for Sawdust. In the consideration of a change from steam to electric drive in a St. Paul (Minn.) saw and box mill, the one stumbling block was the matter of the disposition of the sawdust accumulated about the machinery. Under the old system this was made use of under the boilers, and thus it saved the expense of fuel and of being carried away, but the problem was eventually solved by the erection of a storage house where the sawdust was stored in the shape of bales and disposed of during the winter, when it demanded a higher price than could be secured in the summer. In winter the material is in demand for bedding in stables. The change from steam to electricity proved to be a desirable one from every standpoint after the matter of the disposal of the refuse was solved in this manner. For Invisible Writing. There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each other unknown to even the persons before whose eyes the very letter is held. For instance, new milk may be used as ink. When dried this is invisible, but if coal dust or soot be scattered upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the characters written with the first two become black or brown, and the latter green. And when the paper becomes cool the writing disappears, leaving the paper blank again. Two good invisible inks are made by saltpeter dissolved in water and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in water.—Answers. Disagree as to Penmanship. Today doctors in France agree in condemning the upright characters which the government has decreed must alone be taught, and with tender solicitude for the future of the children they point out that straight calligraphy is not tolerated in the business world, and that its use is a serious handicap. They are urging the government to return to the old system. Perhaps the most practical suggestion of all is that of a young doctor who would wish every child to do its lessons on a small typewriter provided by the state. His Reason. He—Dearest, during the first dance I have with you be sure to say something to me. She—Why? He—Because you're so light, if you don't speak I will not know I have you in my arms.—Princeton Tiger. 'GOOD THING' REMOVED 'GRAND YOUNG BOOB' OF BROAD WAY PASSES AWAY. Death of Irving W. Childs, Who Spent Several Fortunes on the "Great White Way," Brings Real Sorrow to Many. New York.—There is real sorrow in the night living colony of Broadway for the death of Irving W. Childs, who died the other day at the age of 26. It is not the grief which Broadway feels when bankruptcy or parental intervention, or even death, takes away a "good thing." Childs would have been beloved on Broadway if he had not inherited $700,000 from his millionaire father, William Henry Harrison Childs of Brooklyn, and even had he not thrown the money away with both hands. With the age of a man and his great fortune, he combined a clownish youthfulness, a gay recklessness, a baby-like faith in adventure, mystery and romance and an Aladdin-like luck which gave Broadway a good healthy laugh every time he appeared on the jaded, sensation-weary street. Young Childs died of pneumonia. He fell an easy prey to the disease because his search for pleasure and excitement had completely exhausted his nerves and vitality. Broadway called Childs—more in affection than in ridicule—the "Grand Young Boob." By which Broadway meant that anybody could get money from him at any time and have fun in doing it. The youth had a great ambition to be a detective. When the benevolent sheriff, Harburger, gave innocent pleasure to many imaginative millionaires by appointing them his deputies, Childs was one of the very first in the line of applicants. As soon as he was appointed he had a gold badge studded with diamonds made at Tiffany's and a pair of solid gold handcuffs. The outfit cost him $2,400 and he displayed it on the slightest excuse. Policemen and detectives, of whom he knew scores, made harmless spending money by permitting him to make arrests for them, after they had marked down men or whom they had warrants. Childs would pay from $100 to $500 any moment for the privilege of laying his hand on a criminal's shoulder and saying: "I arrest you in the name of the state of New York," snapping the gold handcuffs over his prisoner's wrists. When no criminal was available it was necessary to resort to indirection by introducing him to somebody as "Mr. Irving Childs, formerly of Scotland Yard and one of our keenest amateur detectives—does stunts that make Sherlock Holmes look like a flour-fusher." The new made acquaintance could always borrow all the money Childs had about him and he seldom started the evening with less than $500. His spendthrift ways would long ago have broken him had it not been for his luck in speculation. He would bull or bear the stock market in brokers' offices in the uptown hotels with spectacular success. Wall street was too far downtown for him to go to the market, he used to say, so he made it come to him; and it did. He usually determined his trades by the toss of a coin. Another under-surface indication of a system behind Childs' playfulness was his refusal to sign checks except inside the doors of a bank. He had running accounts at a hundred hotels and restaurants. "Put my name where fifty people would have a chance to study my signature and forge it," he said, "and me a detective! Not on your life!" So he would have a waiter or a clerk sign his name for him; everybody knew him and knew he was responsible for his debts. A woman wearing handsome furs could borrow any amount of money from Childs on two minutes' acquaintance. This idiosyncracy more than once caused speculative friends to dress a waitress or a chorus girl in hired furs and introduce her to the young man in order to share with her the price of a champagne dinner. The "Grand Young Boob's" favorite indoor sport was giving chop suey contests. He would frequently take six, ten or all the members of a chorus to a Chinese restaurant and give a prize of $100 to the damsel who stowed away the greatest quantity of the stuff. Childs was separtaed from his wife, who was Gertrude Westfall of Brooklyn. They have one child. Childs eloped with his wife, although there was no opposition to their marriage. Recently after she obtained a legal separation he won her back, but lost her again when he drifted into his old ways. Wives Sold in Hungary. Vienna.—Judging from a story coming from Szinervaralja, wives are still bought and sold in Hungary. A house painter there named Marton sold his wife to a comrade for $100. After the contract for the sale had been duly signed the three signatory parties adjourned to a restaurant, where they enjoyed a festive repast costing half as much as the selling price of the wife. After the feast the woman went to the home of her new husband. Twin Father of Twins. Hillsdale, N.

Believed to Be Deserter From the Army — Unfortunate Will Be Given Attention Until His Case Is Investigated. Junction City, Kan.—A real wild man, about the most forlorn specimen of humanity that one would care to look upon, has been captured in the timber between this city and Fort Riley, by a detail of cavalrymen from Fort Riley, sent out for that purpose. For several months reports have been coming in that a wild man had been seen down near the Smoky Hill river, but few people believed it. Recently Lee Hendricks, who was plowing the Carl Stevenson field near the river, saw some wild grapes growing in the thicket and went after them. Looking up in the tree, Hendricks saw the wild man, who, on being discovered, jumped down and ran into the underbrush. Hendricks' description was of a man with long, matted hair and glaring eyes, who muttered to himself continually. He wore a dirty, ragged khaki uniform, and this is what led to his capture. When the authorities at Fort Riley heard of it they immediately sent out a detail of soldiers, who started in along the river bank and beat through the brush toward town. The man was discovered by his "den," which was merely a hole in the mud, partially covered with a piece of old canvas. A short time afterward the man himself was found, hiding near the river. He made no resistance when captured. He was taken to Fort Riley and questioned, and from his rambling answers it was learned that he had been living like an animal for four months in and around the place where he was captured. During that time he ate only green corn, grapes, sand plums and whatever else he could find in the fields and woods. His hair had grown until it hung down about his shoulders and his uniform was a mass of tatters. He is undoubtedly demented and will be given care and attention at the post. Although the "wild man" talked freely of his life in the timber, he was silent when questioned about his army life and the officers have been unable to learn his name or the regiment with which he served. It is not known whether he is a deserter who was trying to hide out, or whether he is merely demented. BEARD IS FIVE FEET LONG Chin Adornment That Has to Be Cut to Keep Out of Man's Way. Magnetic City, S. C.—Perhaps the longest bearded man in the world has known since the days of the Lombards, who figured in early history as the wearers of lengthy boscage, is S. G. Brinkley, a native of South Carolina, who has resided for many years in this city. Such a luxuriant and rapidly growing beard as Brinkley wears is a marvel. When he lifts it from the sack in which he carries it, concealed under his shirt bosom, it trails the ground in front of him, as shown in a recent photograph, and measures five feet four inches in length. Until he cropped the end recently to make it more convenient to handle it measured six feet two inches in length. It is soft and beautiful, indicating a peculiarly fertile state of nourishment. The wearer of this wonderful chin drapery is fifty-two years of age. He has worn it ever since shortly before he attained to the age of twenty-three years. It is not a cultivated, but rather an uninvited and spontaneous crop of whiskers. Explaining the circumstances under which he grew this remarkable beard, Mr. Brinkley says: At the age of twenty-one years I had never shaved my face. This was due to the fact that I had no beard to shave, and apparently little prospect for anything of the kind. Only a light fuzz covered my chin and cheeks. After arriving at my majority I shaved once a week for 12 months. With this my beard began to make its appearance with remarkable speed. From one week's end to another my face would literally be covered with a soft and luxuriant beard. I cropped my whiskers frequently to keep them out of my way." Cost $7,600 to Find America. Madrid.—Ledgers recently discovered at Palos, Spain, contain interesting facts concerning the outlay made by Christopher Columbus on his expedition to the new world. The armament of the little fleet cost $2,800. The personal expenses of Columbus and his officers were about $400, and $1.25 a month sufficed for the crew, so that about $4,400 was spent for the eight months that the voyage lasted. The cost of discovering America was about $7,600, all told. Venison and Beef. Cleveland.—Venison and beef steak on four legs is the product of a Cuyahoga county farm.

Reckless Waste May Cause Extinction of Whale. Wild Man Flees to the Capital; Cop Nabs Him Wild Man Flees to the Capital; Cop Nabs Him Sparrows Annihilate Worm Army on Navy Green. Sparrows Annihilate Worm Army on Navy Green. Claimed That Automobiles Spread Tuberculosis WASHINGTON.—Danger of the total extinction of the whale through "overfishing" is dealt with in the thirteenth annual report on fisheries, issued by the board of agriculture and fisheries. It is unquestionable, says the report, that in the case of a slow-growing and slow-reproducing animal like the whale, although, owing to its wide range, it will probably never be absolutely exterminated, excessive hunting speedily results in a very marked depletion of the stock. The practical extinction of the Basque and Greenland whale fisheries has abundantly proved this. It must be remembered, too, that this result was brought about by means of the open and hand harpoon—methods which are now obsolete. The Greenland whale was a comparatively sluggish and timid animal, whose capture by the method referred to presented little difficulty, whereas the roqualls and other species were not only too swift, but too dangerous to be attacked in the same manner as the "right" whale. With the introduction, however, of "T," alias "Gingerbread," the wild man from Borneo, escaped from his dugout at the Rockville fair the other day, and, coming to Washington, was locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct. The wild man, who lives on raw meat and "eats 'em alive," was approached the following night by Policeman Andes of the Fifth precinct while doing a war dance in Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast. "Who do you think you are, anyway?" inquired Andes. "G-rrr! Woof!" responded the wild man. Whereupon Policeman Andes called the wagon, and the wild man was taken to the station, put in a cell, and told to "sleep it off." It is supposed that the wild man got tired of staying in a cage and eating raw meat and sleeping in hay. So he pushed the door of his dugout open, and walked 16 miles to Washington to get something that would take the taste of the meat out of his mouth. When the news spread through Rockville that it probably had a wild man on its hands, a posse of vigilantes armed themselves with shotguns and pitchforks and raw meat, with which to appease his mean disposition. TAKE NO PRISONERS PERSONS passing the State, War and Navy.building, on Pennsylvania avenue, the other day saw a "battle royal" between a corps of army worms and a battalion of sparrows. The unusual sight attracted a large crowd, and much expert, opinion was passed on the outcome of the battle, the problem facing the battalion of sparrows being the annihilation of the enemy before darkness set in. The battalion of sparrows moved eastward in two columns from the northwest corner of the State, War and Navy lawn. One of the most interesting features of the "battle" was ACTING as agents in the spread of tuberculosis, motor cars and high-powered automobiles are spreading disease and death in the Philippines, according to a report in the quarterly review of the bureau of public works of the islands. This is due to the great clouds of dust raised by the rapidly moving vehicles. The dust finds its way into the houses, which are built close on the edges of the narrow streets, and the high mortality among the Filipinos from tuberculosis is attributed in large measure to it. The spread and increase of the "white plague" is not confined to human beings, according to the report, but cattle and other live stock are equal sufferers. The Philippine government is experimenting with native oil on the roads, in the hope of remedying conditions. Electrical devices to handle the 86, 900,000 money orders returned an- CAPITAL the harpoon with explosive shell, discharged from a cannon mounted in the bows of a steamer, the conditions were entirely changed, and the species formerly immune from attack could now be hunted with impunity. The result of this revolution in the conditions under which the fishing could be prosecuted is seen in the enormous dimensions which the industry has attained at the present day. It is estimated that in 1911 between 19,000 and 20,000 whales were captured in the southern hemisphere alone (South Georgia, South Shetland, South America and Africa), to which has to be added the catch in North America, Japan, Faroe, Iceland, Spitzbergen and Greenland, and these figures will probably be greatly exceeded in 1912, as numerous new companies have been formed to exploit Alaskan, Australasian and Sandwich island waters. This wholesale destruction must inevitably tell its tale within a few years, and, as a matter of fact, in Newfoundland and Iceland fears are already entertained that the fishing is on the decline. It would not, therefore, be a matter for surprise if, within a few years, it may be found necessary to establish something in the nature of international control, and the precedent of the Behring seal fishery shows how vexed a question whaling may ultimately become. WATS TH' IDEE When they could not find him, they went home and barred the front door. The wild man is no beauty. He is a hairy individual, six feet tall, with a sinister cast of countenance. He has bulging eyes and an ecliptical-shaped head, with an indentation on the top, covered by a patch of hair. When seen at the fair grounds, mothers would draw their children to them when the wild man grinned, and strong men would shudder. After spending a night at the Fifth Precinct station, the wild man was taken to Washington Asylum hospital for observation. Never having had a wild man from Borneo on their hands, the hospital officials were puzzled. And, on the blotter of the Fifth Precinct station is inscribed: " 'It,' " and opposite that, "crazy." the warlike precision with which the sparrows moved. It was estimated by onlookers that neither column of sparrows was over three feet wide. They worked in solid block formation and moved rapidly on the corps of army worms, which was solidly intrenched behind breastworks of grass. Owing to their intrenched position, it was impossible for onlookers to estimate the strength of the worms, but it was generally conceded that the at tacking battalion of sparrows was 500 strong. Like Henry of Navarre at Ivry, the "commander" of the worms held his forces close to the "cannon" of the invading sparrows, but without avail, for the "charge of the five hundred" proved devastating to the intrenched worms. The "battle" continued throughout the day, and at night not a sparrow was reported dead on the field, while hundreds of the enemy had been slain. nually to Washington to be audited will save $200,000 a year for the government, according to estimates by Charles A. Kram, auditor for the post-office department. The tabulations are accomplished through a system of punched cards and electrical counters somewhat similar to the machines used by the federal census bureau. Heretofore, the annual audit of the money order business of the country has taken nearly a year. With the electric card punching and counting system the final settlement of money order accounts can be made within three months of the end of the fiscal year. NEW HOME FOR CLUB ARMY AND NAVY MOVE INTO A FINE BUILDING. Formal Opening Will Take Place Soon, When President Taft and Prominent Government Officials and Diplomats Will Be Present. The Army and Navy club moved the other day into its new building at the corner of Seventeenth and I streets, directly opposite the old club. The formal opening of the building has been postponed until some time in October, when a distinguished gathering, including President Taft and others prominent in official, social and diplomatic circles, will teenth and I streets, directly opposite the old club. The formal opening of the building has been postponed until some time in October, when a distinguished gathering, including President Taft and others prominent in official, social and diplomatic circles, will be invited to attend the elaborate exercises. The new building is conceded to be one of the handsomest clubs in this country. The building is U-shaped in plan, with the longer dimensions on the east side of Seventeenth street, the principal rooms overlooking Farragut square toward the west. The main entrance is in the center of the south front on I street. To the right, on entering, are the main stairway, the office, telephone booths and the coat room. On the left of the entrance a wide lobby marks the entrance to the main club room from a long corridor, which runs north and south. The strangers' room adjoins this corridor on the south. A lounging room about 20 feet square occupies the southwest corner. This room is richly furnished with teak furniture, temple embroideries, paintings on silk and bronzes and lacquers, presented to the club by Mrs. Charles A. Spalding, in memory of her brother, Capt. A. E. Culver, U. S. N., and an old member of the club who had been greatly interested in the project for new quarters, but who died just before the plan reached fruition. The main lounging room, 80 feet long and two stories in height, occupies the center of the west front and overlooks the park. This room is wainscoted its full height in chestnut, toned down to a gray. The furniture is in walnut, a part of it covered in leather and a part in tapestries, figured and rich in color. The flooring is parquetry in oak, covered with Ferughan rugs. There are fireplaces at the north and south ends, with the chimney breasts faced with Formosa marble. Above each of these mantels is a frieze panel which will be filled with mural paintings, Mars and a Cadet and Neptune and a Middy. These are now being executed by William N. Paxton, of Boston. The navy mantel will have a clock with Carrara marble dial, and engraved bronze ship's bell in a bronze niche, presented to the club by the class of 1881 of the naval academy. On the east side of the main corridor, opposite the lounging room, is a morning room overlooking the court to the east. The grille room occupies the east end of the north L. The west end of the L contains the ladies' reception room, which has its own separate entrance from the north court. The main lounging room is overlooked from the mezzanine from three openings on the east. This mezzanine contains the library, the study, a waiting room, small card rooms, a large foyer and the board room. The third, fourth and fifth floors are devoted to bedrooms, 74 in all. The main dining room is on the sixth floor in the center of the west front. The I street front on this story is occupied by a card room, a lobby and a smoking room. This card room is adorned with 20 fac-similes of Edouard Detaille's famous studies of the French soldier and sailor, depicting every arm of the service in the brilliant uniforms that have made the French army the most picturesque on the continent. These pictures were obtained from Goupil in Paris, and presented to the club by Gen. Felix Agnus, of the Baltimore American, who has been a member of the club since it was founded. The pictures have been framed by Mr. Bendann of Baltimore, to harmonize with the color scheme of the room. The ladies' dining room is at the northwest corner on the seventh story. The roof is decked in tiles, and every provision is made for its use as a roof garden. The basement contains a billiard room and the barber shop. The building is a steel skeleton with a granite face. The walls are of gray rough-surfaced brick and terra-cotta belt and cornice of the same material and texture as the bricks of the wall. Dumb Animals' Obituary. This obituary is printed in the current number of Our Dumb Animals: "Dead! Ten hundred and thirty-nine of them dead. Ten hundred and thirty-nine long roads ended at last. Hunger, thirst, blows, cursings, exposure to the storms of winter, neglect when the heat and the insects of summer make days and nights equally a burden—all this forever stopped for ten hundred and thirty-nine old, tired, woutorn, but patient toilers in the service of man. Dead. They never knew how it happened. Death came with the suddenness of the pistol's flash, instantaneously. Dead. Thank God for it!" IS ENTHUSIASTIC PEDESTRIAN Korbly of Indiana Walked on an Average of Eight Miles a Day. With the possible exception of Senator Clapp, Representative Korby of Indianapolis was the most enthusiastic pedestrian in the Sixty-second congress. He walked on an average of eight miles a day, weather permitting, and there are few avenues and cross streets in Washington that Mr. Korbly does not know about. When dinner was over and the shadows began to lengthen, he would start out on his jaunt. Anselm Chomel, his secretary, often accompanied him, once in a while his colleague, Martin Morrison of Frankfort, joined the marathon, and many times he made his twilight expeditions all alone. A good sized map of Washington hung on the wall of Mr. Korbly's committee room on the third floor of the capitol—he was chairman of the committee on railways and canals—and it was blocked off with blue pencil marks. Each mark had a meaning of its own, and Mr. Korbly took pleasure in explaining the hieroglyphics to inquiring friends. "I try to visit a new section of the city every evening," he explained. "I have inspected Washington once and I have started in all over again. You will notice I have checked all the streets near the navy yard. Those blue marks mean that I have covered that part of town in my travels thoroughly and have familiarized myself with every street, cross street and alley. I think I have covered every foot of sidewalk in the District of Columbia. It's fine exercise, an inexpensive pastime, and I find it tops off a day's work to a nicety." "TURKEY TROT" UNDER BAN Authorities of Chevy Chase Club Puts a Stop to Modern Fancy Dances. Not in many moons has society experienced such a thrill as that occasioned by the ban which the authorities at the Chevy Chase club placed on the "turkey trot," the "bunny wiggle" and all the other fancy dances of the modern type, the other day. Heretofore these fancy steps have run riot at Chevy Chase, the younger set indulging in great abandonment and the sudden and decisive stand, taken by the board of governors was a patter of great surprise. Rumor has it that the governors and members of the club are still not above indulging when surrounded only by friends. The ultimatum, it seems, was forced by the unwelcome presence of strangers within the sacred precincts of the club house on several recent occasions. Such a crowd attends the popular Saturday night subscription dinners that it was well nigh impossible to prevent the entrance of interlopers. These dinners have been such a feature of the summer season at the club for the last few years that it was deemed inadvisable to discontinue them without first adopting less drastic measures. The recent edict, it is hoped, will eliminate the principal attraction of the evening, from the standpoint of the hoi pollol. HORSES BEING SUPPLANTED District Fire Department Gradually Retiring Animals—Motor Trucks to Replace Them. The 250 horses now in the service of the District fire department are to be gradually retired to private life. They will be replaced by motor-driven apparatus. A motor truck and one combination motor engine and hose wagon are among the items of the District appropriation bill, and Chief Frank J. Wagner, after having witnessed a test of the vehicles in New York, has decided on the purchase of tractors, so that some of the steam engines now drawn by horses can be converted into motor-driven vehicles. Motor fire engines cost about $10,000, while a tractor can be purchased for less than $4,000. As there are many engines now in use good for several years of service, Chief Wagner believes that they should be equipped with tractors as the most economical way of increasing the efficiency of the department. How Turks Tell the Time. In Turkey the watch and clock are extremely rare, and a big crowd of persons could be rounded up on the street without finding a watch among them; but the natives have an exceedingly ingenious way of approximating the time, and some of them hit it with considerable accuracy. They locate two cardinal points of the compass, and then, holding their hands together in such a manner that the forefingers point upward and in opposite directions they observe the shadow cast. In the morning or evening at certain hours one finger or the other will point directly at the sun. A comparison of the two shadows will determine the hours between. Another system followed in that country and some others of the Orient is to observe the eyes of a cat. Early in the morning and evening the pupil is round. At nine and three o'clock it is oval, and at noon it consists of a narrow slit. Sweet Sympathy "I should hate, after I was married, to find that my husband had fallen in love with me only because of my beauty." "Yes, I should think you would. It would show that he had no taste at all, wouldn't it?" GREATEST CROPS EVER RECORDED PRODUCTION OF ALMOST EVERY CEREAL LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE. CROP REPORT FIGURES YEAR'S CORN YIELD PLACED AT 3,016,000,000 BUSHELS IN OCTOBER REPORT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Never before have the great cereal crops been so bountiful as those of this year. Records of production for almost every cereal have been surpassed, in some instances, by millions of bushels. The October crop report of the department of agriculture shows that spring wheat, oats, barley, rye and hay, all have exceeded the best record productions, while the crops of corn and potatoes, from present indications, also will be the greatest harvested. The report estimates the corn crop at 3,016,000,000 bushels; average yield 27.9 bushels per acre; quality 82.2. Spring wheat, 330,991,000 bushels; average yield, 14.2 bushels per acre; quality, 88.7. All wheat, 720,433,000 bushels. Oats, 1,417,172,000 bushels; average per acre, 37.4; quality, 91. Potatoes, 1,417,172,000 bushels; average yield, 108.8 bushels per acre; condition, 85.1. Speaking of this great showing made by the country's farmers James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, said: "The crops are the heaviest on record. The season has been favorable, but some credit is due to the wide efforts made in a year by the federal government and the states to help frmers throughout the country to get better returns from he average acre. "The world has been searched for better plants by the Department of Agriculture and its scientists have been creating new plants by hybridization. "Twenty-eight million pieces of literature have been sent out by the department, in addition to advices from the state stations. "More than three billion bushels of corn, almost a billion and a half bushels of oats and three hundred and thirty millions of bushels of spring wheat have been grown. The states in the Northwest are harvesting the greatest crops ever grown there. "It looks as if we won't have to import any potatoes this year," said Secretary Wilson, in commenting on the record potato crop. POWERS FAIL TO STOP THE WAR. Montenegro and Bulgaria Rush Troops Against Ottomans. London.—The entire northern frontier of Turkey, from Antivari on the shores of the Adriatic to Alo-Gon on the borders of the Black Sea, is aflame with war. According to a dispatch filed at Karakal, Roumania, a horde of Roumelian bandits, acting as the advance guard of the Bulgarian army now being rushed to the frontier from Sofia and Shumla, fell upon a force of Turks massed in a gorge above Mustafa Pasha and decimated them after a hndo-hnd encounter. The Mohammedans were under Erhed Pasha, who was the last to fall. He severed his windpipe with his scimitar when mortally wounded by the leader of the Roumelians. London.—A telegram from Constantinople says Greece has drawn up a note breaking off diplomatic relations with Turkey. This is equivalent to a war declaration. London.—A Montenegrin force which crossed the Turkish border has been annihilated, according to a dispatch from Constantinople, which declares 4,000 Abanian troops have invaded Montenegro. Eddy Trust Held Void. Boston.—A trust, estimated at $2,000,000, created by the will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church, for the benefit of the denomination, was declared void by the Massachusetts Supreme Court. The court holds, however, that a charitable trust has been created and that new trustees may be appointed to administer it. Oldest Telegrapher Dead. Babylon, N.

CARDINAL GIBBONS "When a law is flagrantly and habitually violated it brings legislation into contempt. It creates a spirit of deception and hypocrisy, and compels men to do insidiously and by stealth what they would otherwise do openly and above board. You cannot legislate men by civil action into the performance of good and righteous deeds." In quoting Cardinal Gibbons we offer testimony from one of the most ardent and conscientious temperance advocates in America. Theory is one thing and facts are another. If, through the enactment of legislation humanity could be freed from experienced infirmities, this would be a happier sphere—but we must meet conditions as we find them. Men cannot be legislated into the performance of good and righteous deeds. Neither can you vote people sober. You can vote a state dry—but to vote the people dry is another question. The sale of liquor can be stopped in communities where the sentiment is strongly in favor of such a policy; but in sub-divisions of the state where the people are opposed to Prohibition the enforcement of a prohibitory law is impossible. Local Option solves the license question. It meets local conditions whereas State-Wide Prohibition fails to do so.
