PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY IS THE NEGRO HAVING A FAIR CHANCE? BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. IN THE CETURY IL LUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE VOL. XIX. IS THE HAW FAIR C BY BOOKER T. WASHING LUSTRATED MON If I were asked the simple, direct question, "Does the Negro in America have a fair chance?" it would be easy to answer simply, "No," and then refer to instances with which every one is familiar to justify this reply. Such a statement would, however, be misleading to any one who was not intimately acquainted with the actual situation. For that reason I have chosen to make my answer not less candid and direct, I hope, but a little more circumstantial. THE NEGRO TREATED BETTER IN AMERICA THAN ELSEWHERE Although I have never visited either Africa or the West Indies to see for myself the condition of the people in these countries, I have had opportunities from time to time, outside of the knowledge I have gained from books, to get some insight into actual conditions there. But I do not intend to assert or even suggest that the condition of the American Negro is satisfactory, nor that he has in all things a fair chance. Nevertheless, from all that I can learn I believe I am safe in saying that nowhere are there ten millions of black people who have greater opportunities or are making greater progress than the Negroes in America. I know that few native Africans will agree with me in this statement. For example, we had at Tuskegee a student from the Gold Coast who came to America to study in our Bible Training School and incidently to lean something of our methods of study and work. He did not approve at all of our course of study. There was not enough theology, and too much work to suit him. As far as he was concerned, he could not see any value in learning to work, and he thought it was a pretty sort of country in which the people had to devote so much time to labor. "In my country," he said, "every thing grows of itself. We do not have to work. We can devote all our own time to the larger life." LITTLE IMMIGRATION OF NEGROES In the last ten years the official records show that 37,000 Negroes have left other countries to take residence in the United States. I --- can find no evidence to show that any considerable number of black people have given up residence in America. The striking fact is, that Negroes from other countries are constantly coming into the United States, and few are going out. This seems in part to answer the question as to whether the Negro is having a fair chance in America as compared with any other country in which Negroes live in any large numbers. By far the largest number of Negro immigrants come from the West Indies. Even Haiti, a free Negro republic, furnishes a considerable number of immigrants every year. In all my experience and observation, however, I cannot recall a single instance in which a Negro has left the United States to become a citizen of the Haitian Republic. On the other hand, not a few leaders of thought and action among the Negroes in the United States are those who have given up citizenship in the little Black Republic in order to live under the Stars and Stripes. The majority of the colored people who come from the West Indies do so because of the economic opportunities which the United States offers them. Another large group however, comes to get education. Here at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama we usually have not far from one hundred students from South America and the various West Indian Islands. In the matter of opportunity to secure the old fashioned, abstract book educated several of the West Indian Islands give Negroes a better chance than is afforded them in most of our Southern States, but for industrial and technical education they are compelled to come to the United States. In the matter of political and civil rights, including protection of life and property and even handed justice in the courts, Negroes in the West Indies have the advantage of Negroes in the United States. In the island of Jamaica, for example, there are about 15,000 white people and 600,000 black people, but of the "race problem," in regard to which State Hist & Nat Hist Boccles State House HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO there is much agitation in this country, one hears almost nothing there. Jamaica has neither mobs, race riots, lynchings, nor burnings such as disgrace our civilization. In that country there is likewise no bitterness between white man and black man. One reason for this is that the laws are conceived and executed with exact and adsolute justice, without regard to race or color. UNEQUAL LAWS THE CAUSE OF RAC IAL TROUBLE IN AMERICA Reduced to its lowest terms, the fact is that a large part of our racial troubles in the United States grow out of some attempt to pass and execute a law that will make and keep one man superior to another, whether he is intrinsically superior or not. No greater injury can be done to any group of people than to let them feel that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race, or because of his color, he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. In what I have said I do not mean to suggest that in the West Indian Islands there is any more social intermingling between whites and blacks than there is in the United States. The trouble in most parts of the United States is that mere civil and legal privileges are confused with social intermingling. The fact that two men ride in the same railway coach does not mean in any country in the world that they are socially equal. The facts seem to show, however, that after the West Indian Negro has carefully weighed his civil and political privileges against the economic and other advantages to be found in the United States, he decides that, all things considered, he has a better chance in the United States than at home. The Negro in Haiti votes, but votes have not made that county happy; or have not even made it free, in any true sence of the word. There is one other fact I might add to this comparison; nearly all the Negro church organizations in the United States have mission churches in the islands, as they have also in Africa. Does the Negro in our county have a fair chance as compared with the native black man in Africa, the home of the Negro? In the midst of the preparation of this article, I met Bishop Isaiah B. Scott of the Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the strongest and most intelligent colored men that I know Bishop Scott has spent the greater part of his life in the Southern States, but during the last seven years he has lived in Liberia and traveled extensively on the west coast of Africa, where he has come into contact with all classes of European white people. In answer to my question Bishop Scott dictated the following sentence, which he authorized me to use: "The fairest white man that I have met in dealing with the colored man is the American white man. He understands the colored man better because of his contact with him, and has more respect for the colored man who has accomplished something." Basing my conclusions largely on conversations which I have had with native Africans, with Negro missionaries, and with Negro diplomatic officials who have lived in Africa, especially on the west coast and in South Africa, I am led to the conclusion that, all things considered, the Negro in the United States has a better chance than he has in Africa. (TO BE CONTINUED.) MINISTER MUST PAY LIFE FOR ASSULTING GIRLS Greenville, S. C., Oct. 12. Found guilty of criminally assaulting three little girls in the Odd Fellows home of which he was the head, Thurston U. Vaughn, once prominent as a minister, will pay the penalty of his misdeeds with his life. He was sentenced to die at the Columbus state penitentiary on December 20. The trial was brought to a sensational close when the accused confessed. He named two other victims in addition to those for assault on whom he was indicted. The jury was out only four minutes, and made no recommendation for mercy. Tears streamed down the cheeks of Judge Perdy, who was named by Gov Blease as special judge in this case. Many of the jury, the court officials and the spectators alike made no pretense of hiding their tears as Vaughn, pale and broken, acknowledged the crime. Immediately after court opened today attorneys for both sides consulted which resulted in an agreement that Vaughn should confess, which might result in saving his life, and that the case should go to the jury without argument. "I have acted devilishly, I have acted shamefully," began Vaughn. "The devil tempted me. I have fallen." He pleaded eloquently, but in vain with the jury to save his life, not so much for his own sake, but for the sake of his wife and little daughter. Neither Mrs. Vaughn nor her daughter were in the court room today, though they had been with the accused since the trial opened. Vaughn was former assistant superintendant of the First Baptist Sunday School, one of the largest and most fashionable churches in this city. He was a ministerial student anb frequently occupied pulpits in and around Freenville. He was the owner of considerable property.

Mr. Steele for coroner, (this being the fifth time) and Captain Lane for commissioner, by handsome majorities. Charles L. Rice one of the most prominent colored lawyers in the state, has been master-in-chancery for a number of years, and has clients among both white and colored. The above is an excellent showing for our people. Washington, Oct. 31—The Negro soldier has demonstrated his ability to serve with less loss of time from active duty by reason of sickness than the white enlisted man. According to the annual report of Surgeon-General George H. Torney, made public today, the non-effective rate of the colored soldier was 25.88, while that of the white soldier was 33.80; the Por o Rican 29.78 and the Filipino 19.87. The report also shows that the white troops required the highest average number of days treatment for each case of disability, while the Porto Ricans had the highest rate for admission to hospitals and for death. Culpepper, Va., Nov. 6.—An unusual incident, if not unprecedented, happened in Culpeper last week when Robert Dean, seventy-eight years old, applied at the clerk's office for a license that he might be reunited in marriage with the woman who had been his wife in slavery times. Belonging then to different masters they had been separated and sold, the man marrying again when all trace of his earlier wife had been lost and the woman doing likewise. Now that the respective husband and wife are both dead the old couple have come together, and, according to the license issued Wednesday, were remarried this week. Richmond, Va., Nov. 5.—Nor- NO 10 mal conditions have been resumed at the Mechanics Savings Bank, after a run on the bank, following a false rumor that the bank was insolvent. Every depositor that appeared for his money was paid promptly, and last Wednesday and Thursday $15,407 was withdawn. On Friday, aftes depositors had been assured that the institution was solvent, $2,000 more was again placed on the books. The American National and the First National Banks offered President John Mitchell, Jr., any financial assistance that he might need, but the reserve of the bank was sufficient for all demands. Philadelphia has a few things New York needs and a great many New York would not have. It has more than one hundred Negro policemen, while New York has but one. Why is that? Nobody will accuse the Philadelphia Negro of being better than the New York Negro, we believe. Nine policemen were dropped from the Philadelphia force one day last week for intoxication and violating rules and regulations of the Bureau." None of them was marked "colored" by the newspaper reporting the news. If the New York policemen who patronize the "family entrance" to saloons were all dropee" how many would be left "standing?" We want more Negro policemen in New York. A wealthy resident of a Philadelphia suburb, who is very jealous of his young and pretty wife, undertook to kill his wife, her maid and the family last week and landed in jail. He thinks his wife was too fresh with the Negro chauffeur. Jealous people, like with homicidal mania, think very rapidly, and see a great many things hid from the eyes of those who do not see "green." White men are not at all backward in freshness with colored women, but they get very ugly when colored men get fresh with white women. It is impossible to stamp out the freshness as long as the race colors are mixed up in all the walks of life. Likes and dislikes are very much alike in all people, and very weak, in all of them. But freshness between sexes of all colors is a thing to be discouraged. Warfare Against Rats.

LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth While. Mrs. Paul E. Richter of Denver died at her home of diabetes. Harry Lindlesley, former city attorney of Denver, declares that there is a serious flaw in the woman's eight-hour law. John I. Tierney, secretary to the state commissioner of mines, who was elected state senator at the recent election, has handed in his resignation to take effect January 1. Eugene Garrett, twenty-two, died at the County hospital in Denver of a fracture of the skull received when he collided, on his motorcycle, with a buggy driven by an unidentified woman. Mrs. Edith Anaya, the seventeen-year-old wife of a Mexican, Paul Anaya of Denver, is lying in the County hospital swathed in bandages, unable to move and hardly able to speak, as the result of a brutal beating. Unmasked and careless of detection, a highwayman held up two men in a drug store at Lake Place and Boulevard F in Denver and robbed the cash drawer of $7.40. He left a check for $11, and overlooked a few bills. Democratic merchants in small towns have declared war on the recent order of President Taft by which 35,000 postmasters, including 780 in Colorado, have been given lifetime jobs under the civil service law. At a meeting of the Colorado State Tax Commission by a unanimous vote it was decided that hereafter assessments will be made on a 100 per cent valuation instead of a one-third valuation as has heretofore been the practice.

A RECORD CORN CROP YEAR'S YIELD IS OVER THREE BILLION BUSHELS. Department of Agriculture Report Shows Value of Farm Produce Greatest in History. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—A corn crop of 3,169,137,000 bushels, or 281,921,000 bushels more than the greatest crop of corn ever grown in any country of the world, is the feature of the country's most remarkable agricultural year in history, according to the November crop report of the federal department of agriculture. The report completed the government's preliminary estimate of the national principal farm crops. This great crop of corn was worth, November 1, to farmers, $1,850,776,000. The enormous sum of $4,171,134,000 represented the farm value on November 1 of the crops of corn, hay, wheat, oats, potatoes, barley, flax seed, rye and buckwheat. With the value of these growing cotton crops and the crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the aggregate value of these principal farm products will amount well beyond $5,000,000,000. Record crops of corn, potatoes, flax seed, oats, barley, rye and hay were harvested this year. THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

Washington.—The announcement of the success of Harry Lane, the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Oregon, assures Democratic control of the upper House of Congress and places both branches of the national Legislature and the presidency in their hands for the first time in eighteen years. The addition of Oregon to the Democratic list gives that party forty-nine senators, or a majority of two. In addition to the election of successors to Democratic senators now sitting, Democrats will displace Republicans from Oregon, New Jersey, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Delaware and Nevada, and will fill the vacancy in Colorado with a man of their choosing. The contests in Illinois, where two senators are to be chosen, and in Tennessee and Michigan, remain to be decided. The Democrats make positive claims concerning some of these states but whatever the result in any or all of them, Democratic control of the Senate is assured. With twenty-five districts yet to hear from, the Democrats will have 296 members of the House, the Republicans 114 and the Progressives 13 members. Ambassador Bryce Resigns.

The Colorado Statesman wants the advertisement of every Negro business enterprise, professional or commercial establishment, rooming and boarding house, and every hall, lodge and organization in Denver. We want these not alone for our own financial benefit, but because their appearance in this newspaper will pay the advertisers and at the same time be a source of help to Denver. This newspaper goes to many far-away sections and is read by many people contemplating the West as a place of residence and who seek a reflection of the business character of Denver in our columns. Denver is the Mecca of all travelers to the West, and many of them acquaint themselves with our business people through us. The value of letting the home community know you is thus greatly enhanced to your credit. Talk it over with the manager. TRUTHFULNESS. The one thing that has done more than anything else to retard our success and hinder progress in this community is a lack of downright truthfulness. Carelessness in handling the truth has destroyed confidence and interest in each other's purpose and welfare, and left each one of us to mistrust the other. Many of the enemies we have made is the result of our having deceived them. A man prefers that we be honest with him even if we are against him and have a preference for another. There is no use in lying. It is a malicious habit and the facts are certain in due time to come to the surface and make against us in the end. We need every man's respect and friendship and we only have and retain it on the basis of truthfulness. When people understand that we will not lie to or for them, they are willing to converse freely, but when they are skeptical about our reliability they will withhold much that is important. Truthfulness is dual in its nature. A man that won't lie himself—First, will not lie on others; and Second, will not believe or use lies told to him. Thus if a man will resolve to take the right of understanding of facts and clear the atmosphere of intrigue and dishonesty. Denver needs a revival of old-time truthfulness. It will lo more in re-establishing confidence and rehabilitate the race with hope and courage and purpose than anything that could possibly come to us now. Let's try it. THE SOLID SOUTH Is there a common ground, after all, on which the white man of the North, the white man of the South and the Negro may meet, and, for the ordinary, practical purposes of life, travel together in peace and unity? The shadow of probable events is beginning to make such a devoutly wished for consummation look like an inevitable necessity. Up to almost the present time the trend of public sentiment and the stress of settled political policies have made such a thing seem quite impossible. Ever since the enfranchisement of the Negro, the white man of the South has made him an issue and sought to eliminate and efface him as a political factor in the nation. The white man of the North has accepted this issue as a sentimental policy, while devoting his wider energies to the development of a more practicable and more reasonable line of national activity. The Negro, imbued naturally with the belief that the outcome of this difference between the white men of the two sections was vital, not only to his citizenship, but to the continuance of his liberty, has been unable to see anything else—in all the varied affairs of the nation—so important as the absolute rejection and annihilation of this insistent, Southern-bred phantasm. Thus has one war issue lived, even in the grave, for more than fifty years. “Peace without dishonor” is the mutual basis of proposed agreement between the two white brothers, with the deeper assurance to the black brothers (though paradoxical and harder to understand), that all three are to gain what they have so long fought for. The Negro's equal right of franchise is to be accepted; the Negro, as a political issue, is to be eliminated; unto himself and his own political future, at least, the Negro is to be let alone. The two white brothers have more important business to attend to. The black brother wants peace and a chance to work his way. There is the basis of the compromise and the foundation upon which all three are to build. It is practical, possible and by every rule of logic inevitable. It is a policy which calls for sacrifices on all sides, and therefore will be slow of adoption. The North will yield much to the South in social ideas, as it has always been willing to do. The South will enact and enforce fair and undiscriminating laws establishing and defining an intelligent electorate. The Negro will give up his present political attitude in the nation, and the present few greater rewards for an increased minor representation. Upon his own interests, industrial and commercial, and his own political intelligence, just as the while man, the Negro will find himself more and more depending, and though the prospect may at first look dark and disquieting, it will be for the best. By DR. HORACE G. WADLIN. Librarian Boston Public Library N OUR TIME the novel has become the principal form of literary expression. It is within the best novels that one finds the clearest interpretation and the keenest criticism of life. It is a common fal- lacy to speak of fiction as if it were "light" literature, unworthy of serious attention, and to group all other kinds of books together, without much discrimination, as the only profitable reading. But a book that stimulates the imagination or the emotions may be in the best sense educational, and many books written with distinct educational purpose are of little real value. Besides this, fiction is now more widely read than any other sort of literature, and therefore it is through this medium that those who would move men today make their appeal. In the large output there is, nevertheless, much trash. As Cervantes once said: "There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world with as much dispatch as they would a dish of fritters," and much of the fiction of the day fails to rise above what somebody has called "promiscuous mediocrity." Standards of taste differ, and librarians are not infallible. Nevertheless there is a fairly distinct line separating the wheat from the chaff. It should always be remembered that the selection must be uninfluenced by personal bias, and that merit in a novel is not confined to its literary style, but includes other values—notably truth to life, high ideals, broad human interest and the power to furnish sane and healthy entertainment to the average reader. These principles, if applied in practice, will necessarily exclude many books of the day, which in six months or so will be forgotten. But under this standard no book of abiding merit will be disregarded; there are too few of them. No two public libraries have the same local conditions, but unless books are to be bought without discrimination the problem of selection must be faced. This, of course, is where the question of fiction becomes troublesome. It cannot be ignored, however, since no public library can buy all, and in most cases only a few of the novels of the day, and every public library is morally bound to make the best possible use of its funds. prove this. Before departing on a bicycle ride one day I fastened a watch on the handle bars. At one time there was a clear road on a smooth boulevard. Taking advantage, I rode on at top speed, urging every muscle in my legs to its utmost and at the same time keeping my eyes fastened on the watch. What happened? I tried to read the time, but the letters dimmed before my eyes. The muscles in my legs required so much nourishment that the blood hurried there from the upper regions of my body. Another case: I have attended high school and on occasions done considerable physical labor. Suppose that after a hard day's work, worn out with fatigue, I should have attempted to solve a problem in geometry or write an English essay. Do you suppose that my brain would respond? Hardly. A feeling of listlessness and a dull mind would have resulted. At some gymnasium meets I have noted that the participants prepared their home work beforehand. So, too, in regard to examinations. No pupil should think of studying the night before an "exam." All famous athletes refrain from too much mental exercise. Married women are slightly in the majority of the failures (161) and single women greatly in the minority (81). There were 157 widows. The woman bankrupt entered into many fields. Among others one notes in the list eleven bakers, four butchers, seven farmers, five fishmongers, four nurses, two photographers, eight restaurant keepers, five schoolmistresses, six tobaccoists, two gardeners, nine toy dealers, six stationers and three undertakers. When one realizes the anxiety and sorrow caused in each individual case, it seems that some action ought to be taken to prevent such legalized form of suicide, even though, for reasons unknown to the vast number of doubters, aviation be all that can be wished for. I dare say that humanity will never suffer for the need of it. The world will progress without it till the end of time. Muscular Work Reduces Brain Power By S. S. Bradenin, Utica, N. Y. Women Make Good in Business Field By J. K. Harpslon, Boston, Mass. Aviation Chances Seem Most Hopeless By Jennie Adamson, Cicero, III. --- What Should Its Attitude Be on Fiction? In reply to an article in "When to Read," it can be said that muscular work reduces the power of the brain. When the food is being digested the organs conducting this work need blood. The blood therefore leaves the brain and flows away to assist the stomach and intestines. If, nevertheless, the brain is put to hard reading, the blood will be drawn away to the brain. Poor digestion and difficult reading must certainly result. "You can't do good work by doing two things at once." I tried an experiment once in order to Anyone who believes that woman's field of activity in business is limited should be convinced to the contrary by reading the following figures from a report of the London board of trade: Women bankrupts were less numerous than in 1910, the figure being 399, against 495. The woman grocer was the least successful among the tradesmen of the sex, taking the number of failures as a criterion; the woman milliner and dressmaker next, then the woman draper and haberdasher, and, fourth, the woman lodging house keeper. Of all the experiments the world has ever known, it strikes me very forcibly that aviation is the most preposterous and its chances for success the most hopeless. The other day at the Clearing aviation field another life was sacrificed, thereby adding one more name to the long list of those that have been killed. Some persist in believing that the end for which they are striving will be accomplished. But are not the odds too great against them and the loss of such brave and fearless men a loss to the world in general! PAUSE - BRETHREN: PAUSE!!

This will be a brilliant affair. The Sewing Circle, under the leadership of Mrs. Jas. Mascn, will serve delicious refreshments. Don't miss it. Admission 10 cents. A most delightful welcome reception (whose apparent tardiness was due to the recent translation of Mrs. A. M Ward) was tended the pastor and presiding elder on Thursday evening of last week, when a splendid program was rendered and toothsome refreshments were served in abundance. It was indeed a most enjoyable occasion and the recipients are sincerely grateful to the membership for this expression of kindness and good will. CAMPBELL CHAPEL Madams C. A. J. Spires, the famous contralto solist of Indiana will appear in a recital Tuesday evening. She is a wonder.

JOHN SCOTT. AND GRANDCHILDREN. NOTICE TO OUR MINISTERS. We must urge our ministers, when sending in their notes for publication, to give only the important announcements, as we are at a great expense in publishing church notes free. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH. Twenty-sixth and Clarkson Streets. Sermon topics for Sunday morning "Faith and Doubt," night, Spiritual Drought." The message last Sunday night touched a vibrating note in the church life and there is already evidences of renewed vigor along spiritual lines. Mr. Ralph Rice met with a very painful accident last Thursday afternoon while driving his horse. The horse ran away and threw Mr. Rice violently against the curbing inflicting a painful scalp wound and both arms were lacerated. At this writing he is resting quite easily. He has the prayers and sympathy of the entire membership. Tuesday evening the pastor was aroused from his slumbers by the resonant singing of a large number of members and friends of Scotts. Upon investigation he met a large crowd at the door laden with some of the good things of life. The dining room table fairly groaned under the heavy weight of groceries, which were placed there by loving hands. The following persons contributed; Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Pash, Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McPherson, Mrs. L. E. Williams, Mrs. M. Mallory, Mrs. L. Fullilove, Mrs. E. P. Fornia, Mrs. M. J. Kirkpatrick, Miss L. Rice, Mrs. E. Garter, Mrs. Wm. Moore, Mrs. E. P. Johnson, Mrs. F. Dooley, Mrs. Tompkins, Mrs. Anna Ledbetter, Mr. and Harrison Coleman, G. K. Johnson, Mrs. L. Perry, Mrs. Mary Ford, Mrs. Ada Castry, Prof. L. H. Lightenger, John F. Thomas, Mrs. Ella Owens, Mrs. E. J. Gallimore, Chas. L. Smith. With restrained emotion the pastor addressed these faithful friends with words of thankfulness and appreciation. This is by far the largest and most valuable surprise which he has enjoyed during his humble service at Scott's. The special rally put on Sunday in order to pay him up in full to date has cheered his heart as nothing else has done. Mrs. H. W. Pierson, who underwent a serious operation recently is at home and can be seen by her many friends. She is doing nicely at this writing. The carpet committee, headed by Miss Lela Rice and Mrs. E. P. Fornia served after class Wednesday night. The parsonage committee has paid itself out debt and are now preparing to make some more repairs upon the pastor's home. Mrs. Ella Carter will render Tom Thumb's Wedding in the church on December 12th. A silk quilt will be given away for the prize to the one selling the largest number of tickets. This entertainment will be for the benefit of the coal committee. The Coalally will be on the fourth Sunday in December. JOIN The company of good men who are trying to lay the foundations for things of benefit to our race. One of the best movements in this direction is the organization of colored Elks. THE Local lodge of this city, desiring to increase its membership, has reduced its initiation fee from $10.00 to $4.75 for a period of forty-five days, ending January 1, 1912. The ELKS Invite all male persons of moral character between the age of 21 and 50 to take advantage of this opportunity. Mountain lodge No. 39, I. B. P. O. E., E. of W. JOHN W. LEVEL, E. L. Ruler.

Denver, Colo., Nov. 13, 1912. President Bush and Vice President Brown of the Denver & Rio Grande today authorized the immediate construction of the double-track detour line over Solidier Summit, where the railroad crosses the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. The present line between Tucker and Soldier Summit is seven miles long and the grade four per cent, or 211 feet to the mile. The new line between the same points will be fifteen miles long with grade reduced to two per cent, or $105\frac{1}{2}$ feet to the mile. The reduction in the grade and curvature will more than offset the increased mileage. The cost of this work will be approximately three millions of dollars, being the most important improvement yet authorized by the Denver & Rio Grande under the new management. Contracts will be let within ten or fifteen days, and it is anticipated that the work will be completed by July of next year. This large expenditure has been authorized by the board of directors because of the rapidly increasing trffic incident to the opening of the Western Pacific railway, as well as to take care of the enormous coal and coke output going from the Utah mines to the Salt Lake, Nevada and Montana smelters and reduction plants. Other factors influencing the decision are the anticipated growth in passenger traffic on account of the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco and the increased freight business sure to follow the opening of the Panama canal. 13 CENTS A DAY BUYS A PIANO.

HAVE FLAVOR OF NOVELTY Some Recipes That Are New and Will Be Especially Appreciated by Young People. Bouncing Betty—Make a pure white blanc mange, flavoring it with almonds and molding it prettily. Put upside down on a platter and ornament with a ring of baked apples, each one holding a stick of cinnamon. If a smooth mold has been used for the blanc mange it is easy to outline a fat face on the top with small brown chocolates. Caldron Custards—At several of the shops there are little individual custard dishes made in the shape of the witches' caldron. These are in a brilliant yellow, but if it is impossible to get them the usual round dishes will do. Fill the little dishes with a nice baked custard mixture, bake them until brown and put them on the ice. Serve the custards in the ramekins, placed in a circle on a large round dish. In the center of the ring stand up a hickory nut doll, dressed as a witch in crinkled tissue paper. Punch—To every quart of sweet apple cider add a bottle of club soda. Have ready some thinly sliced tart apples and some sprigs of fresh mint. Bruise the mint leaves, allowing a little sprig for each glass. Several of the apple slices must also be put into each glass, and the punch may contain much sugar and a little lemon juice, if liked. Marshmallow Ghosts—Toast a lot of marshmallow drops and, while each one is piping hot, drop it onto a little round, crisp ginger snap. These can be prepared by the company of a Hallowe'en gathering, and most young people find the making of the "ghosts" the greatest fun. The uncanny sweets finish off a meal very nicely, so they could be used instead of any other sugary thing. KITCHEN Bolled rice must always be lightly handled. It should not be stirred with a fork or spoon. A spoonful of flour added to the grease in which eggs are to be fried will prevent them from breaking or sticking to the pan. Wax candles which have become dusty or soled can be made perfectly white by rubbing them with a clean piece of flannel dipped in spirits of wine. Always put a cauliflower in plain water, so as to draw out any insects. If salt is placed in the water it kills the insects and they are left in the vegetable. Plaster casts may be cleaned by dipping them into cold liquid starch, which can be brushed off when dry, and the dirt will be found to come off with the starch. When making baked or boiled custard the milk to be used should be scalded and set aside to cool. Then make a custard in the ordinary way and it will be perfectly smooth. Pour boiling water over lemons before using. This will double the amount of juice they will produce. The pulp of a lemon is an excellent teeth cleanser. A bit of lemon put into the copper with a little boiling water will thoroughly clean it. Baked Sardines. To one small can of sardines allow two tablespoonfuls of butter, four tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs and one small onion, finely minced, and two eggs, salt and pepper to taste; wipe all the oil from the sardines, divide them into halves and lay in a baking dish; melt half the butter, pour it over them, and add two tablespoonfuls of hot water; beat up the eggs and gradually mix them into the bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper and add remainder of the butter; spread this mixture over the sardines and bake fifteen minutes. Rye Pancakes. Beat one egg, add one-half cupful sweet milk, in which dissolve one-half teaspoon of soda, one-half cup of white sugar, little salt and rye flour, in which is mixed one teaspoon of cream of tartar till the consistency of doughnut dough. Have the fat very hot and dip a spoon in the fat, then take a spoonful of dough and drop in hot fat. They will rise and brown quickly, so keep them stirring that they may not burn before thoroughly cooked through. A teaspoonful of melted butter improves them greatly. Eat hot with syrup. Newton Taploca Pudding Five tablespoons tapioca soaked in water two (2) hours, four tablespoons Indian meal, one pint hot milk poured over meal, three-quarter cup molasses, one teaspoon salt, three tablespoons butter. Cook to double boiler until the mixture thickens, then add the tapioca. Bake one and one-half hours, add one cup of milk without stirring when it has baked three-quarters of an hour. Black Kid Gloves When black kid gloves become rusty at the finger-ends they may be restored by adding a few drops of black ink to a teaspoonful of olive oil and applying it with a camel's hair brush. Easy to Flt Cork. If a cork is too large for the bottle in which you wish to use it lay it on its side and with a little board or ruler roll it under all the pressure you can put on it. It will be elongated to fit in a very few minutes. CARSONS CUT GLASS Reg. $3.50 Sugar and Cream Set, new and up-to-date cutting. Special, $2.50 Pr.

The artificial key-language known as "Esperanto" is the invention of Dr Zamenhof, a native of Grodno, in Russian Poland, who first produced his system in 1887 by the publication "An International Language." The leading characteristics of Esperanto are its "simplicity of construction, the facility by which it may be acquired and the practical ease and euphony of its pronunciation," to use the language of its advocates. The alphabet is composed of twenty-eight letters each letter having an invariable sound, the vocabulary consisting of some 900 roots selected from the most familiar tongues. Since 1887 Esperanto has greatly increased in use, but many think it will never be made to serve the purpose for which its inventor designed it—a universal language. Blnd Student Wins Honors. Benjamin Berinstein, blind from infancy, has just completed his law course at Columbia university and received his degree. He is twenty-four years of age and has confidence in his ability to succeed in his profession. Berinstein was graduated from the East high school in Rochester, and then entered the university, from which he was graduated last year, but remained to complete his law course. Although his parents were willing to pay for his education, Berinstein worked his way through college by reading proof for a magazine for the blind. He is an expert with a typewriter, and prepared his own answers to the questions in his final examinations. Dust Poisoned Pies Kill. The coroner's investigation of the death of William Bowling of Lancashire, after eating pork pies in May last, was concluded when Doctor Harris, medical officer of health, stated that his opinion was that the infection of the meat in the shop was caused by dust blown in from the street.—London Mall. Prayer Book Brings Fancy Price. A prayer book in two volumes, which belonged to Mme. de Pompadour, realized $7,200 at auction recently in Paris. It is entitled the "Office de la Sainte Vierge." and contains drawings by Boucher. The work was issued from the Royal printing works in 1757. Taking the Easier. Mrs. Messer—Now, Tommy, go and kiss your auntie; or mamma will whip you hard. Tommy (after a long look at the auntie)—Whip me, ma! Living is costly in Madrid.

Tivoli DENVER, COLO. --- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some people will, always, tend to retrogression, however favorable might be the circumstances by which they are surrounded; because they delight in that excitement which ever keeps their footsteps in the foreground and expose them to the shaft of public criticism. Unfortunately, that element is little hampered by shame or self-respect; hence ridicule, a weapon most effective in the correction of abuses where reason rules, is powerless in their case. In localities where ignorance, superstition and general deprivacy are sufficiently densed as to become noticeable, the strong arm of the law is the only agency able to cope with the situation; and, at times, its skill is baffled in the handling of conditions. The most intelligent sometimes err; but mistakes of the head when good is intended may not be attributed to sordid design yet these are not excusable in the eyes of the law. But, when the miscreant willfully and maliciously tramples upon the rights of individuals and disregards sacred privileges which belong to others, he violates the cause of humanity and subjects himself to the penalty which that violation invites. The short-comings of these irresponsibles do much to retard the upbuilding of communities, and obstruct the trend of healthy growth. In all ages, that class of human vermin has ever been the bane of the populace to which it was allied; and strenuous conditions had to be met to accomplish beneficial results. All races have their failures—their virtues and their vices—but the crimes and follies which they commit (except the negro) are charged to the culprits who perform the acts. Prejudice is blind to merit, and does not always give credit where it is due; yet it scruples not, for the sins of a part, to cast aspersions upon the whole. The negro, amid his peculiar environments, has much to bear; and the load of the better element is made more burdensome because he is compelled to bear the stigma which the thoughtless of his own people evokes. Therefore, in order to safeguard every interest which concerns the body and protects the good name of each worthy son, it is well that the pulpit, press and lecture platform make a general crusade against this tendency to riotous inclinations, and strive to elevate their sentiments to nobler heights. There is nothing so disturbing to the harmony of society as the criminals in its midst; nor could there be anything more destructive to its welfare. There have been too many fancy ideas of education. Too many of our young people who have completed courses of study in college find themselves handicapped in the world from the fact that they don't know how to do anything. They have acquired certain knowledge, but they can't apply it. This circumstance is detrimental. We want men and women of action. We commiserate, to say the least, the young man who has spent several years in college acquiring knowledge of mathematics, language and science, and then goes out into the world unable to render the people practical, efficient service. On the other hand, we must regard him as educated, though he might have never spent a day in college, who is able to achieve some victory for the race and thus increase admiration for it on the part of the outside world.—Savannah Independent. The report of the American Church Institute for Negroes presents on the one hand an array of facts highly creditable to the colored people, but on the other a statement of conditions by no means satisfactory to either whites or blacks. Since emancipation the negro, starting without a dollar and without education, has acquired ownership of 24,000 square miles of land, has established more than 500,000 homes owned in fee simple, has built and maintains upward of 26,000 churches valued at nearly $30,000,000 and has expended more than $25,000,000 for his own education. Against that bright showing stands the portentious fact that after all this progress, conditions remain such that of 3,000,000 negro children of school age less than 1,000,000 regularly attend school, and that of those that attend, the training is meager because of the short terms. It is clear that in this respect the negro is not getting his share of the advantages common to other races in the Union. The day never comes for a woman to realize the futility of powder. The reason for the sinking of the Titanic and the sacrificial offering of human lives was the direct result of carelessness on the part of a British sea captain; avarice on the part of British ship owners, and the same is the cause of Afro-Americans not making greater material progress; racial jealousies and petty prejudices.—Cadiz Informer. When a woman is afraid of showing her age she tries to cover it with a coat of paint. What can the white people of the country do to help advance the interests of the ten million negroes, who contributed in 1911 over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation, and showed unusual activity in the work of building up business enterprises? It is true that the negro has succeeded in spite of opposition, lack of training, and the schemes of designing men. Nevertheless the fact remains that where the negro has had a sympathetic contact with the best white people, he has made the greatest progress and has suffered least from wasted activity. The white people of this country can do a great deal of good by encouraging the negroes about them to assume responsibility, to begin business operations, and to follow out the suggestions which Dr. Washington and others offer. White people can explain the methods that they have found to be of value to them and point out some of the pitfalls of business life. They can do what Julius Rosenwald, president of the Sears, Roebuck company of Chicago, recently did—speak with perfect frankness out of their rich business experience and give that wholesome advice which has already been perfectly squared with practice in and out of business life. They can give publicity to the good things that they know concerning negroes. They can keep an open mind on the race question and deal with negroes as men and women who are struggling valiantly for the higher things of life. They can be generous, kind hearted, sympathetic, and fair in all their relations with the colored man. Through co-operation in its various phases, through understanding based upon helpful contact, and through justice itself will the white people and the black people of this country continue to secure the blessings of earth—Southern Workman. We wonder if the negro will ever see the folly of having everything going out and nothing coming in? There is only one way in which to force white men to realize the necessity of giving us a square deal and that is by touching their pocket books. So far as insurance is concerned we have negro companies just as solvent, just as able financially to guarantee you insurance protection as any white companies operating in the state. Suppose that the negroes had the confidence in them they ought to have and would join them as readily, don't you see that you could demand employment for your boys and girls which they could not hope to get otherwise? Let's get together on these questions.—Louisville Defender. Dr. A. Clayton Powell goes at the matter in the right way to correct the evil when he shows by statistics that the negroes of Harlem, in New York city, spend $4,500,000 annually for food and clothing, the profit of which must be $810,000, much of which should be handled by negro business men. How much of it is handled by them? Encourage the young folks to go into business, however small the beginning, and patronize them as well as the old ones who are already established and fighting to succeed—New York Age. Mrs. Emma M. Nakulna is a water rights commissioner under the territorial government in Hawaii. Mrs. Nakulna is an American woman, granddaughter of Captain Metcalf of the Eleanor. She lives in Kallihi. Ninety thousand persons have paid a penny each for admission to the famous maze at Hampton Court Palace this summer, the largest number for some years. It is estimated that about 25 per cent, of these were foreigners, mostly French and German. During August 24,000 people passed through the turnstiles. For a number of years the takings at the maze were the perquisities of one of the palace attendants, upon whom the right to collect and retain them was conferred by the late Queen Victoria. Since his death a few years ago the takings have gone to his majesty's office of works. The negro in the short period in which he, as a free man has conducted his own operations has done much that the world commends; but there are still disagreeable associations which he needs to ignore if he would win the recognition of the more worthy of mankind. Discourage rowdyism, drunkenness and kindred errors. Drive from companionship the worthless parasite; keep to upright conduct, and in the not far distant future the negro will come into his own—Atlanta Phalanx. A woman consciously dislikes; a man unconsciously hates. Show your hand and perhaps the other fellow will hide his face. Every day teaches us how much of life there is still to know. To be patient with fate and with those whom fate seems to have struck en should be commensurate. To trust is to lead others to be trust worthy. HOW SHE MADE A HIT MADE GOOD ON HASH Really Simple When You Get the Combination. Young Woman "Stocked Up" When She Realized She Had to Face a Party of the Literary Highbrows. Her fluffy golden hair and a pair of dimples didn't look the least bit literary, nevertheless the highbrows one by one dropped out of the contest with her, ceased to spout poetry and only could sit humbly around gazing in wonder at the wealth of her knowledge of belles lettres. Even her most intimate friend, when the studio party was over and they were homeward bound, said: "I had no idea you knew so much about books and writers." "I don't," responded Miss Fluff promptly and shamelessly. "But—why—you know more than all those people put together. They all had to quit trying to talk about literature for fear you would see how little they know." "Want to know how I did it?" Miss Fluff was of an obliging disposition, as dimples usually are. "It's quite simple when you understand. I went to a public library station, found a nice girl who didn't look too tired and told her I'd give her a dollar to make me up as long a list as she could afford for the money of the least known authors in the world, sprinkling in a few quotations. Then I went to a man I know who writes book notices for a publishing house and got a list from him of books that are hardly off the press yet. That was to make me seem terribly up-to-date. I studied real hard one night on those two lists when I knew I was to do this studio party, for I didn't want those highbrows to have anything on me. When they spoke of Maurice Hewlett I said, you may remember, that he had taken many of his ideas from Ingomar Devrelli of the 12th century. "I don't know a thing in the world about Hewlett nor if there really was such a person as Ingomar Devrell, but neither do these highrows. When they mentioned Mrs. Humphry Ward I languidly referred to that remarkable woman of the Alexandrian library, Flavella Somolla. Of course there never was such a person. In fact, the wilder I became in my statements the safer I was, for nobody present knew enough to trip me up. I soon become quite independent of my list, except the new books. Even those, however, were too new for the highrows, so I think I gave them all the run for their money they will want for some time, don't you think? It's very easy to do literary talk if you don't get scared. Same with art and music. Just get the lingo and the names of a few pictures and artists that nobody knows anything about and you can make the biggest kind of a hit."—New York Press. Has Unique Spider Web. The largest spider web in the world was spun not by a spider, but by human hands. It stands on the lawn of a Chicago man's country home, and is of such tremendous size as to startle the passer-by when he first sees it. The creator of this interesting oddity conceived the idea of attempting to see how closely an actual spider's web could be reproduced with rope. Selecting two immense trees on the lawn of his home, he spun between them this spider's web, 40 by 60 feet, which is so strong that a boy may easily climb to the center or top of it. The web faces the main thoroughfare which passes the house, and is one of the most fascinating country ground decorations ever seen. The spinner could not attain the minuteess of the actual spider's work, but came so near to it that the illusion is almost perfect. The unqueness of the undertaking catches and fascinates every eye. How He Saved the Day. Three bright young men were spending their vacation in camp, and they had agreed to draw lots to determine which one should do the cooking. It was also agreed that if anyone should complain about the food, he should be required to take the cook's place. In the drawing, Slasher, the young doctor, lost, and cheerfully set about his culinary duties. When the toast was placed on the table McAfee, the law student, gave it a look and yelled: "Ye gods and little fishes! This toast is burned to a charcoal on one side." Then, recollecting the penalty in store for complainers, he hurried on to say: "But that's the very way I like it, though—fine, fine!"—The Pathfinder. Near Biography of a Great Man. The subject of this sketch was born of poor but honest parents. As a youth he worked in a grocery store for $7 a week until he owned the store. In the meantime, like many another young man, he fell in with dissolute associates and learned to gamble. However, he eventually made up his mind that there was nothing in being a cheap crook, and began the study of law, and was in due time admitted to the bar. Twenty years later he was elected to the United States senate. Thus we see what ambition, coupled with a knowledge of poker and an inking of the law, can accomplish. Still Little Wife Had Doubts About the Matter. Dinner a Success, According to Mr Roberts, but in the Background There Was Mrs. Roberts to Where are you, Frances? It was half-past six, and Paul had just returned from business. As no answer came he repeated his call. "I've brought Roberts home to dinner with me. Where are you?" "In my room," came a muffled voice from above, and Paul, with a word of excuse to his guest, bounded up the stairs. "Are you sick? Is anything the matter?" he asked breathlessly, pushing open the door. Frances met him with a tragic face. "No, I am not sick, but for the love of mercy, why did you bring that man to dinner without sending me word?" Paul's countenance assumed the hang-dog look peculiar to the husband who has brought home unexpected company and found it inconvenient. "I just met him coming out on the train and he seemed forlorn—said his wife was away—" "I wish yours was, Paul. There's not a thing for him to eat!" What were we going to have?" "Corn beef hash—I know you don't mind it for dinner once in a while—" "No vegetables?" "Yes, of course, stupid! Rice and egg-plant. But hash for dinner; I can't put a man down to that!" "I'll bet Roberts would love it!" "I don't care if he would! I'd be mortified to death to have any one know we had hash for dinner!" "Well, I wouldn't! What's good enough for me is good enough for Roberts or anyone else. Why, Frances! You're not going to cry?" "How do you know I'm not?" quavered Frances. "I could do it without any trouble at all." "Come, dear, don't be silly. I'll tell Roberts you're not well and take him out somewhere and get a bit—" "You won't do anything of the sort," said Frances, dabbing a little powder on her reddened nose. "If you can stand that hash I'll try to bear it." "Is there enough of it?" "I'll have some poached eggs on top of it to help out." "Is this what you call a pick-up dinner and apologize for?" asked Mr. Roberts an hour later. "I consider it a banquet." The meal had begun with tomato soup, continued with the egg-topped hash and vegetables, followed by brandied peaches and wafers—Frances having raided her emergency cupboard—and concluded with black coffee. "Hardly a banquet with hash as the principal dish!" laughed Frances. "Now, aren't you ashamed you cried?" teased Paul, after their guest had gone. "I didn't really cry—I only sniffed. And your friend, Roberts, may say what he pleases, but I bet his wife will sniff in a different way when she hears we gave him hash for dinner! But I don't care, so long as you are satisfied. If you sniffed I couldn't stand it!"—Los Angeles Express Why He Refused a Raise. Congressman Lamb of Virginia has an old "befo' de wah" darky working on his place, whom he pays a dollar a day. The old man is not very fond of work, and loses a day very often because of his alleged infirmities. The other day the congressman told him he was going to raise his wages from $6 a week to $7. The old darky emphatically refused the raise, and when his boss asked him why he answered: "It's lak dis, Mister John. When I loses a day from work now, I kin count mah money; but if you gib me a raise an' I loses a day, I won' know how much I've got comin' tuh me."— Judge. When the Punster Announces. The story was told of the late Justin McCarthy—Mr. Punch's "Jostin MacHearty"—of the English officer who, at a reception in Dublin castle, announced the man who claimed to have made his riding breeches as "Major Riding Bridges." But this was nothing to the cruel case of Count Paravicini, who, at an assembly in Paris, was ushered in by the flunkey as "Monsieur le Comte de Paul et Virgine!" In a London drawing room, too, Count Beust, the Austrian ambassador, was once announced to his hostess as "Count Beast," and he was followed by his German colleague, Count Munster, as "Count Monster." His Need of the Clock This Need of the Clock. A younb man in Washington, who many months ago hung up his shingle, "attorney at law," had not yet been overwhelmed with clients. A friend, entering the office the other day, observed on the desk a cheap alarm clock. "Taking it home, eh?" he observed. "Good thing this time of year. Everyone's liable to oversleep these mornings." The lawyer smiled. "I have not purchased this clock for the reason you mention. I bought it to wake me up when it's time to go home." 2735 Welton St. Main 6363 Family Liquors, Wines, and Cordials Genuine Goods at Popular Prices A glass of good wine will improve your Sunday dinner, and aid digestion.

COLORADO Warships to Fire at Actual Boats ; Instead of Canvas Orders Issued to Prepare Three of the Old Torpedo Craft of the Reserve Division for Service as Tar get Vessels. ‘Washington.—The Atiantic feet in target practice this fall and next spring will make several important departures. These include: Firing at actual torpedo boats in- stead of canvas targets in night prac- Hee. Firing actual torpedoes, minus ex- plosives, at real ships. Firing on the old San Marcos wreck at short instead of long range. ___ Heretofore the fleet in practice fired at targets made by hoisting screens pf canvas on masts erected on rafts of heavy timbers, which were anchor- ed on the range at various points, their exact location being unknown to the firing vessel. These screens were painted dark gray, with a white itreak at the foot, supposed to repre- rent the bow wave of an oncoming torpedo boat. There were usually four targets, and the firing ship was directed to tteam along a certain prescribed course. At a certain point, marked by "anchoring another vessel, brightly lit up, on the range, the firing ship was permitted to turn on her searchlights and begin hunting for the targets, of which there were usually two on each side. When she found them the ship had a certain number of minutes al- lowed her in which to hit all four tar- gets. ‘The targets this year will be gen- nine torpedo boats. Orders have been lssued to prepare three of the old and out-of-date torpedo craft of the reserve Aivision for service as target vessels. They will be built up amidship to give them the high free board and as near- ty as possible the general appearance of a modern destroyer, and will be Aled with cork to keep them afloat . as long as possible, even though rid- ,iled with rapid-fire shells. One ship from each class of vessels, that 1s, one dreadnaught, one battle- ship of the Connecticut class, one of the Georgia class, and so on, will do the actual firing. The entire fleet will form in column to come on the range. As shown in the diagram (No. 1) the point for commencing fire is mark- ed by a station ship. But, to assist in reproducing as nearly as possible the exact scenario of a night engagement, 2 flotilla of destroyers will be sent out thead of the fleet to act as a screen, precisely as would be done in time of war, and these destroyers are expected to discover the “enemy” and report their presence just as they would un- der real battle conditions. The only difference will be that the destroyers themselves will not open fire. ‘The guns of the broadside battery will be allowed five rounds of ammuni. tion aptece for this practice, and in addition a few rounds of the new 12. Inch shrapnel will be distributed for use in the turret guns. Shrapnel consists of a thin steel shell filled with a great number of steel balls, which are arranged around a small charge of powder called the “pursting charge.” A fuse is attached. timed so that Just before the shell reaches the target {t bursts and scat. pate ateet Ca liate: BEAUTIFUL LANTERN SLIDES. A very beautiful work 1s being done at the agricultural department which ts bound to be of benefit in public schools and ought to be copied abroad. Pinteresting teaching in nature study and botany 1s taught by Miss Susan Sipe in the public schools and demon- strated in a lecture with colored lan- tern slides. They are the most ex- quisite things the writer ever saw. The slides contain pictures of tulips, narcissus, several species of iris and also orchids. Other lantern slides give you hollyhocks, stocks, cherries, wistaria, asters, chrysanthemums and many others of the same class. The firat complete exhibition of these flow- ers was held in a lecture at tho agri- cultural department, with Jack Hil- lers at the lantern and Mr. B. L. Crandall, photographer of the bureau of plant industry, who took the photo- graphs and made the slides. These slides were photographed from the growing plants and many of them colored from the same models. The colorist is Mrs. Catherine Mayo Rich- ardson. It 1s {mpossible to describe the infinite care with which the work has been done nor how exquisite these blossoms are as presented on the slides. Usually it would be a wonderful help to the schools of the country if they could be supplied with similar collections. At the exhibition which was given some 30 or 40 depart. ment experts and specialists were present, and they were united in de- olaring these lantern slides a splendid atudy for young children especially. KINGBIRD EXONERATED. ‘Uncle Sam has granted a certificate pf good character to the kingbird, sometimes known as the bee martin, ‘a spectes of flycatcher which inhabits pretty nearly every part of the United Btates. The kingbird has been under indictment In many sections as a de- stroyer of bees and a foe to aplarists. Department of agriculture experts fully exonerate the bird of the charge of being a destroyer. They say that {t kills only the drones and the use- less bees, and 1s therefore a boon to Dee raisers. TO STOP COUNTERFEITING. Robert O, Bailey, assistant secretary of the treasury, is trying to compile a list of the ten greatest men in Amer- jean history, to carry out a new idea in the manufacture of paper money. Under his plan the face of some fa. mous American would appear on a cer- tain denomination of bill, His face and none other would always be there. It has been the experience of the treasury department that bill raisers and counterfeiters always have the most trouble with the faces of men on the bills. ‘The new plan would make the raising of a bank note above its denomination an impossibility. No one could put a beard on the picture of Abraham Lincoln and make it look like that of Grant, As there are ten denominations of United States paper currency, Mr. Bal- ley needs ten famous Americans, He made out a tentative Ist, and then came another rub. Should the great- est of the great be placed on the bills of larger or smaller denomina- tion? Mr, Bailey decided that since the smaller bills, although not the more popular, were more frequently handled and were infinitely greater in number, they should contain the en- gravings of the best-known men. Here fs the list as it stands now: George Washington goes on the $1 bill. ‘The next most handled bill 1s the one of the $5 denomination, and Abra- ham Lincoln is down for it. Jefferson is slated for the $2 bill. Coming down to more modern men, Cleveland gets the place on the tenth-of-a-century note; Hamilton, the father of our financial system, goes on the $20; Jackson, on the $50; Franklin, on the $100; Marshall—not Governor Mar. shall of Indiana—on the $500; Clay, on the $1,000, and Grant, on the $10, 000 bill, the iargest In denomination, ‘This list, of course, is only tentative and is subject to change. Under the new plan, we can expect to see the words “a one,” “a fiver,” “a fifty,” and the like, to become obso let. Instead we will be paying “a Washington and a Jefferson for a $3 pair of shoes, or will be asking for change for “a Lincoln.” Five ot ten “Grants” would put us in Bay street. LANDMARK TO GO. Plans for the erection of a bust: ness block at the corner of Twelfth street and New York avenue will re- moye one of the most memorable landmarks in Washington. The land. mark is a toy store where President Lincoln was wont to take his little son Tad, The same little Jumping jacks, the same little ‘arks with Noah and his wooden family, and the same little horses and monkeys occupy the win: dows of the toy shop at 1208 that avenue, as when, half a century ago. {t was the favorite resting place of President Lincoln. It 1s the Stuntz toy shop, the goal of little Tad Lincoln's desires. Here, when the burdens of the greatest war the world ever saw seemed too great even for his broad shoulders to bear, the president would go, taking little Tad by the hand and stealing forth from the White House by the back way, and here he would forget his cares of state, watching Tad and the genial proprietor exploiting the vari. ous toys, oftentimes taking a hand in the play himself. TO ASK FOR $13,000,000. Appropriation of $13,000,000 will be asked of congress this year to cover the District's expenses. Last year $12,429,935 was asked, but congress cut the estimates to $10,675,833.50, About $150,000 will have to be pruned from various estimates by the commis- stoners during the next few days. The budget was in the hands of the secre- tary of the treasury by October 15, ‘The largest item is the amount ask- ed for public schools. The board of education and the commissioners agreed that $3,100,000 would be the smallest amount to be demanded for the educational system. This includes an {tem of $250,000 for beginning the construction of the new Central High school at Eleventh and W streets northwest, the total cost of which is estimated at $1,250,000. About $1, 150,000 will be asked for the board of charities. @uaviving Relle Hunters. The relic hunter is still abroad in the land and his desire for the unique is fully met by several factories in this and other countries whose busi- ness is to supply the demand of those who will not be “satisfied until they get it.” Tomahawks by the thousands are turned out in Kaneas City and are sent to the Indian reservations in the west, where they are sold to tourists, especially to foreign tourists. The manufactured article is said to look more archaic than the tomahawk made by hand. There {s a relic fac- tory at Valley Forge that runs night and day at this season turning out in a continuous stream broken swords and rusty gunstocks, pepperbox pis- tols, corroded bullets, blood-stained knee breeches, shot-riddled haver- sacks and other relics dear to the tourist's heart. Family of Prominence. ‘A monument has just been uavelted in Mecklenburg-Schwerin bearing the following interesting Inscription: “To the Knight Godefroy von Bulows, authentic ancestor of all the Bulows.” ‘The family has given Germany many distinguished sons, including not only the ex-chancellor, but also Hans von Bulow, the pianist, the first husband of Mme. Cosima Wagner, and they all claim to be cousins, more or less dis- tant. GREEK QUEEN IN PLEA TO WOMEN OF AMERICA Gordon Rose, special correspondent of the Chicago American, wires his pa- per from Athens as follows: “I had the good for- tune to travel on the steamer Praga from Brindisi to Corfu with her majesty, the queen of Greece, from whom I ob- tained an exclu: sive statement. Her majesty tray- eled with her usu al lack of ostenta- Pa Sse IN er sa * eee i am mak yf Se Pek NX companied only by one lady in wait Ing and a courier. It was many years since I had seen her, and I thought I could recognize in her strong, thoughtful face new lines, perhaps from the worries and cares of the past few weeks. Queen Olga, who is an aunt of the czar, carries herself aS one would expect—a queen. Al though dressed somberly in black, the only touch of lightness was her gray hair and the natural brightness of her face, which was illuminated by her smile of recognition. Queen Olga spoke freely and de- clared that as a devout Christian she had a message for the women of Christendom throughout the world. She said: “Greece does not fear to throw her- self into the scale. She does not fear for what she may lose, nor has she any hope of territorial aggrandize- ment. Greece, like the other Balkan states, has a solemn duty, that of suc- coring Christian women and children and men suffering the barbarities of Turkish misrule. It is a strange phase of history that has made Greece the champion of Christendom, whilst the great powerful Christian nations stand aside, but this is not a question of politics—it is a question of human- ity. “War can hold no horrors as bad as those of peace zud@& the Turkish flag. There will be many families in destitution because those breadwin- ners who have not carried the colors have come forward as volunteers. There will be many widows, many women weeping for sons who will not come back. Privation and perhaps starvation will be added to the empty chair of him who comes home no more. “Greece will do all she can to aid her people in distress, but Greece 1s so small and the distress is so vast that her women will sell their jewels and finery to provide for the stricken, just as they did in the last war. If ioe women of the great Christian na- tions who are not asked to sacrifice their men in this latter day crusade would but sacrifice the smallest frac- Ulon of their comforts and luxuries for a few weeks, then the men would fight with lighter hearts, knowing that their dear ones are not starving at home. “Greeks throughout the world are filled with enthusiasm. From all over Europe and Egypt and even America every incoming ship brings a load of | pariots. Their enthusiasm ts solid. | They do not cheer or shout on this | grim business. They take it earnest- ly. If the enthusiasm and grit of the | poor man who risks his all means any- thing, then there is food for reflection in the question of how much civiliza- tion has borrowed from Greece.” RUDOLPH SPRECKELS A WEALTHY FOE OF GRAFT Since the conviction of Abe Ruef and his associates in San Francisco, Cal, on charges BE of political cor 2 ruption aud mu- A) xictpal graft.

Women. Gtudents in\Géermany. Nowhere in the world have the un}- versities © more masculine outward aspect than in Germany, and yet, if we may judge by recent statistics, femin- inism {8 surely gaining ground even in these strongholds. It 1s now only four years since women were by law al- lowed to study at German universities, Now they represent five per cent of the incorporated students. Berlin counts 845 (by far the largest number); Bonn, 265; Goettingen, 224; Munich, 188; Heldelberg, 165; Freiburg, 149; Bres- lau, 184, and Letpsic, 103. To this total it Is necessary to add nearly 1,800 unattached students, making the grand total of women students in Ger- many 4,500. The majority are Pro. testants or Jews. Very few are Catho. lics. The courses of study most in favor with them are philosophy and history KING OF ITALY ASPIRES TO TITLE OF CAESAR It has been announced in Rome that King Victor Emmanual of Italy has decided to 2s- GE sume the title of = eq | “Emperor of geen sy te Rome" in the ad near future a §| Should Victor Emmanuel ase ee sume on his own 4b Bf | motion the title si “Emperor of ‘ ; Rome,” he will in- “ vest himself with a designation =“ that even Julius ESROWEES) Caesar, its first Raita hee, eg S after it had peen voted him by the senate. And if there is anything in a name, the Italian monarch will push farther into the center of history's spotlight than Tiberius and Claudius, who, politicians of acumen, refused to prefix “Emperor” to their names. Were pre-Caesarian Rome alive and should Emmanuel take the fleld per- sonally and administer a thorough whipping to the Turk, ‘he title un- doubtedly would come to him in due course by the hand of the comitia curiata. In the earliest usage the title first was awarded magistrates. In strict- ness it was more an epithet than a title. Toward the end of the Roman republic, however, it had become rather a special title of honor be- stowed by the acclamation of a victor- fous army on their general, or by yote of the senate for distinguished services ‘The last man to wear the imperial crown of Rome with any degree of legitimacy was Romulus Augustulus, who assumed it A. D. 475, and beset by the barbarian invader, was glad to cast it aside in the same year. ‘Thereafter many adventurous per- sons, by various rough and uncouth means, managed %o establish them- selves for brief periods in the Eternal City and dub themselves emperors, but most of them shared their power with representatives of “the people,” as denoting their personal followers. Such was Louls the Bavarian, who in 1828, after whipping Henry VII., managed to have himself proclaimed emperor, but whose turbulent incum bency was a matter only of months. FOREIGN MINISTER OF RUSSIA VISITS ENGLAND The Russian minister for foreign af- fairs arrived In London on the eve- | : ning of Friday, <a September 20. As .. he alighted from . his saloon at Vic- Pn torla a man, oe & standing within a Ae ee few feet of him . . held aloft a white ete | placard on which % my was printed, “Rus- i. sia must evacu- ‘| ate Persia if she A wishes for Bng- yy land's friendship,” As pexas| and at the same Ariaa outed. ies .. > ay S ex YS Ab ; A>, ~ cy, “Down with Russia! Clear out of Persia! Down with Russia!” The demonstrator was promptly removed from the platform. On the following day, M. Sazonoff, with the Russian ambassador in London, visited Sir Hd- ward Grey at the foreign office. On the same evening the British foreign minister left for Scotland. M. Sazonoff, Baron von Schilling, and Count Beck- endorft started for Balmoral on the following Sunday evening; arrived at Ballater on the Monday evening, and drove to Balmoral castle in motors sent for them by the king. Sir Ed- ward Grey, who had broken his jour- ney, arrived at the same time. It is generally assumed that the “conver- sations” are concerned chiefly with the interests of Great Britain and Russia in Persia, and also with the near east problems. Fillpino Matrimonial Agency. ‘We observed that at night all the Igorrote unmarried women occupied a large hut near the center of the vil- lage. They call this institution an olag. It is a sort of social hall, where the young people ‘of the tribe meet at night to do,thelr courting. When an Igorrote girl takes a fancy to a par ticular man, she will steal his spear, or shield—in fact, any portable chat- tel—and hide it in the olag. To re- cover his property the young man, of course, must go in person to deatify {t. So all Igorrotes look on the olag as the natural matrimonial bureau of the tribe. And once the Igorrote man and woman are thus mated, they ob- serve the marriage bonds as faithfully an they are kept in countries where the ceremony is not so simple.—Chris- tian Herald.

News has been received from Con- ctantinople that Turkey and Bulgaria are considering directly terms of peace, A provisional armistice was signed for three days, and hostilities ceased. Nazim Pasha has asked the Bulgari- un commander-in-chief to extend the armistice for eight days. Constantinople is at the mercy of the Bulgarian invaders, and the over- throw of Turkey in Europe is only a matter of days, according to experts. The crushed Turks await only the downfall of the capital to begin a fcarful massacre of Christians. The warships in the harbor, it is feared, will be of little aid, and al! Christian families who are able are .leeing the city. Maniac Kills Three and Then Self Clifton, Ariz—Franklin B. Dorr, a widely-known newspaper man and law- yer, was shot and instantly killed; John Barrone, a suloonkeeper, was so badly wounded that he died soon aft er, and two Mexicans were shot, one fatally, by William Allender. Allender then barricaded himself in his carpen: ter shop, which was surrounded by of. {cers and citizens, and when he saw that escape was impossible he blew off the top of his head with a revolver. Mrs, Rehkugler to Make no Defense.

In an article in the Woman's Home Companion on Massage, appears the following: “Byen a woman who has but little time to devote to {t may have a good complexion and nof get sallow and wrinkled. Thege exercises, planned originally for the business woman, are equally good for the tired housemoth- er. “Here is what you need: Plenty of soft water; one pound of finely ground oatmeal from the grocer; a bottle of almond oil, or a jar of good cold cream; a packet of fuller’s earth for face powder; a cup of boiling milk every night. “Pour half or a quarter of the cup of boiling milk into the washbasin, and quickly with your hands rub the milk all over your face several times. Rub it well in; wash in it, little as it fs. I still declare, after many years, that there is nothing in the world so re- freshing and soothing after a hard day's work as this, The milk in the basin is black? Yes, {t always ts. It cleanses the skin thoroughly. Now sip the rest of the cupful of milk very slowly. Nothing lke hot milk for overtired, strained nerves. “Remove bolster and pillow from the bed; le down absolutely flat on your back for at least five minutes, arms extended, feet extended; draw several deep sighing breaths, release them very slowly, relax every muscle in your body. Then moisten finger tips with cold cream or almond oll, and for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, still lying down, very, very lightly do the simple exercises, and do not forget, whatever you do, that hard pressure will ruin’ any skin, by stretching it. Then, with a soft rag, wipe off the superfluous ofl. In the morning take some oatmeal in the palm of the left hand, mix a little hot water with it to form a paste, and rub {t well over the face. Rinse it off and dry your face with a soft towel, using the three exercises. If your skin is shiny, dust over lightly with cotton wool dipped in fuller’s earth. ‘These exercises must be done regular ly every evening. “Beauty points: Paint is dirt on the face, and means dirt on the mind. Get a good sleep before twelve o'clock at night. Fresh alr means a fresh skin; sleep with your bedroom win- dow wide open, top and bottom.” A pale delicate shade of gray serge is chosen for our smart model, which has a Russian coat, with the basque slightly eased to the stitched band. Several rows of stitching finish the edges, also the revers and collar, which are of pastel blue cloth. Frills of lawn are worn at the wrists. The skirt 1s quite plain, and {s cut to just escape the ground. Bowler hat of gray pedal straw, trimmed in front with a fancy button and a feather mount. Materials required: Four and one- half yards serge 44 inches wide, one- half yard blue cloth 40 inches wide, eight buttons, five yards silk for lining coat, iets eeictiiee oo With the black painted English far niture, which is again somewhat in fayor for American houses, there is being used the background chintzes and cretonnes, on which the same garlands, flower baskets, festoons and medallions that decorate the furniture are profusely scattered. Other hangings which are used wit! the painted furniture are those « printed linens which should have light backgrounds, says the New York Her- ald, and s0 remove the objection that some may find to the background chintzes, The old designs may be matched ex- actly in the chintzes and lnens, and in addition to their use as hangings these fabrics are used for the loose cushions which are needed to make the cane and rush seated chairs com- fortable. Valuable Information. Silks have been so fashionable this summer that a hint on thelr preserva- tion will not come amiss. When they are put away they should not be fold- ed in white paper, for the chloride of Mme used in bleaching the paper is apt to spoil the color of the silk. Shrink First. New stockings will last twice as long without wearing into holes if they are shrunk before being worn. Wash them tn warm water, to which a little ammonia has been added. ‘Weing out and dry, and you will be delighted with the resulta, | er PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night is RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. | PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST. > , = THE DOUGLASS cr ‘s] a ea ay UNDERTAKING (sie ae 2 COMPANY if J.
