XIX DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY JANUARY 25 1913 NO. 20 MISSIONARY WORK IN AFRICA The spirit of missionary work among the Africans in Africa is far from dead among the white church workers of the United States and Europe, especially Great Britain. Not long ago a large number of white missionaries left Philadelphia for foreign fields of labor, some to Asia and some to Africa, but the most part for Asia; last week seven other whites left Philadelphia for British East Africa, German East Africa and the Belgian Congo, "where with the permission of the directing Governments, they will attempt to spread the Gospel of Christianity among the savage Negroes of the Kikuyn, Masal Akamba tribes." The missionaries gathered at Philadelphia from various sections of the United States. The American Board of Foreign Missions, with headquarters in Boston, was organized in 1810, and is the oldest foreign missionary society in the United States. During its one hundred years of work it has sent out 2,600 missionaries, of whom some 610 are now in service, and expended $40,161,789. It has workers in East Central, Southern and West Central Africa. Nearly all of the white churches in the United States have well-established foreign missionary departments or contribute to the work through other Boards. It is not possible to estimate the incalculable value of missionary work done for the redemption of Africa alone, but some idea may be had of it from the statistics of converts to Christianity now in Africa, as follows: African Catholics, 2,655,920; African Protestants, 1,744,080. This is a small showing as against the 36,000,000 African Mohamendams, in a total population of 127,000,000, but it may well be taken as "the little leaven that leaveneth the whole lump." It represents a century of hard work and untold sacrifice. The end of the preset century may show a larger Christian than Mohammendan population in both Africa and Asia, who have been denied the full powers of the Faith since the first century, A. D. The various African church denominations in the United States have foreign missionary departments and are doing work in Africa which is yet in its infancy and results. The African Methodist Episcopal Church maintains two bishops in Africa—Bishop J. Albert Johnson in South Africa, and Bishop William H. Heard in West Africa. Bishop Johnson has been active in his field ever since his election five years ago, and reports a good and growing work, while ill health has kept Bishop Heard in the United States and away from his work the greater part of the time. This is much to be regretted, as the work to be done is very great and urgent in its claims upon those who have "put their hands to the plow." It is true the white Methodist Episcopal Church also has a white Bishop, Dr. Hartzell, and a Negro Bishop in West Africa, Dr. Isaac B. Scott, but the latter also spends as much if not more time in the United States than in West Africa, if we are correctly informed. The Age favors the election of native African churchman for the work in Africa, and we believe all of the African denominations in the United States will ultimately adopt that policy, as being best for the work. We put emphasis upon the statement that the Negroes of the United States are vitally interested in the growth of a great English speaking Protestant Negro empire in Africa, such as Liberia is capable of becoming, and we say so because "coming events cast their shadows before"—New York Age. Washington, D. C., Jan. 15. The Negro is already reaping some of the results from a Demoratic administration. For over twenty years during the time that the Republicans had control of the government, Congress has made a generous appropriation to the Hampton Institute. A Democratic Congressman from Texas who is chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs in the House of Representatives, objected to appropriating money to a school where Indians and Negroes were taught in the same class room. He took the ground that Indians should not be permitted to associate with Negroes on terms of social equality hence the appropriation which has continued for so many years under Republican control has been withdrawn. It is presumed that the Negro Democrats are satisfied in seeing their race thus insulted, but the end, it is feared, is not yet. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. JANUARY 25 1913. Blute Hist & Nat Hist Books State House HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO HOGTIED AND THEN BEATEN TO DEATH Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14. Federal District Attorney Warren S. Reese has made public the story of a brutal and horrible crime which was told him by Mrs. Alica Carson, of Dallas County, whose husband, Charles Carson, was hogtied and beaten to death on the night of December 20, and his mutilated body buried in a cabbage crate. Mrs. Carson has appealed to the Federal authorities for protection, fearing for her life if she should ever enter Dallas County again. District Attorney Reese is unable to interfere, as the crime took place outside of his district. The story related by Mrs. Carson in the District Attorney's office is a tale of fiendishness probably unrivaled by any that has ever taken place in Alabama in the past. She stated that her husband was a renter on the plantation of Bruce Hanes, a prominent farmer in Dallas County. Carson was formerly employed at the Louisville and Nashville shops in Montgomery, where he bore a good record. Her head bound in cloths beneath which was the edge of an ugly scar, which she said was inflicted by a blow from a pistol butt in the hands of one of the white men when she pled for her husband's life, Mrs. Carson sat a tearful and pathetic figure relating the story of the crime to District Attorney Reese. She said that between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of December 20, five white men came to her home. After shooting through the door they demanded that Charlie Carson get up and let them in. She said that her husband recognized one of the voices and thinking that he would give him protection told her to let them in. They dragged the Negro man from his bed and carried him into the yard where they tied his hands and feet and then placing a stick back of his knees bound his two hands to the ends of it, bending his body into a stooping position. Mrs. Carson said that they began beating him with a heavy buggy trace interspersing their blows with kicks in his side which crushed in his ribs, causing them to pierce through his body and become visible through the streaks of bleed that flowed from the openings. She stood by and plead for mercy when she said one of the men struck her a hard blow in the forehead with his pistol in the forehead and told her to hush. He then took the trace and beat her on the back, the scars of which she exhibited to the district attorney. NEGROES LOSING JOBS FOREIGNERS TAK. ING THEM The scum of over-populated Europe is being dumped into the large cities of the seaboard and with their ideas of government by force are spreading doctrines and practices of anarchy throughout the country, making such conditions possible as are being exposed in the countless murders, robberies and assassinations in such cities as New York and Chicago. These ignorant hordes of European barbarians are drifting to the cities of the South and West and are supplanting the faithful and patient natives, both white and black, and are coming to be an awful menace to the safety of American institutions. In our city a Greek company has been organized to take the places of Negro janitors and chauffeens and a most noticeable instance is the recent dismissal of all Negro janitors from the employment of the Louisville Trust Company, at Fifth and Market streets. The white tenants of the buildings, knowing the docile nature of the Negro and the ferocious disposition of the depraved modern Greek, are very dignant and are urging colored people to withdraw their business and deposits from the Louisville Trust Company and deposit their funds in the National Bank of Commerce at Fifth and Main streets, which recently declined the "cheap labor of Europe" for the native Negro laborer. A number of intelligent colored men met at 446 South Eighth street last night and passed resolutions calling on colored people to do their banking at the Bank of Commerce and to organize to resist the "eruption of the Greek." Many Southern white people here are taking sides with the colored people in the movement from their knowledge of the trustworthiness of the average Negro and the uncertainty of the modern Greek. The National Window Cleaning Co., a Greek corporation with headquarters on Fifth street, near Green has succeeded in getting many stores to use this "cheap service." These Greeks hope to get a foothold in the city as servants and finally hope to work up and mix with the best classes of white people. Several gentlemen are busy taking a list of the places of business that employ Greek help with the intention of boycott ing them. Trade Terms.

J., Jan. 14.—The biggest real estate deal ever consummated here was closed last week, in which John W. Lewis, Jr. the colored real estate broker and builder, figured. It is said that $50,000 worth of property was included in the transaction. In one of the deals Mr. Lewis sold and contracted to build twelve houses for Calvin H. Booze of Roelofs, Lower Makefield Township, which represents $23,000. The other deal represents $21,600, and was made with I. H. Cornell of Newton, who purchased ten houses. Mr. Lewis ha plans for the erection of thirty new houses. Chicago,—The United States circuit court of appeals has decided that the heirs of twenty-eight Negro stevedores, who were killed in a naptha explosion on the steamer Tiogo in the Chicago river twenty-three years ago, are entitled to $110,000 damages. Every direct heir of the identified dead, either has died or disappeared. The steamship company wound up its affairs years ago. The attorneys who defended the case and the lawyers who prosecuted it, are dead. The case, Bruxton vs. Union Steamship company, was one of the oldest pending Federal cases in Chicago, in which there had only been one appeal Attorney, Charles Furthmann, son of the original plaintiff's attorney, won the case. It is said there will be an opportunity for their heirs of the dead to collect damages, if any can be located. The company deposited a $200,000 cash bond before it went out of business. Columbia, S. C.—Arrested because he refused to pay a note, and placed in jail at Norway in Orangeburg county, Henry Fitts a Négro, was taken from the prison by a mob and snot to death. The lynchers rode into the town before dawn, stormed the jail, secured the prisoner, and taking him a short distance from town shot him to pieces. The lynchers left NO 20 a note pinned to the Negroes body saying, "Negroes must pay their debts." and signed: "Friends of Governor Blease." So far as known the Negro's only offense was his refusal to pay the note, failure to consider action being alleged as the reason for his refusal. The first information that reached Columbia in shape of a telegram to Governor Blease from the magistrate at Norway, stating that a crowd had broken into the guard house and lynched a Negro who had been locked up for a trivial offense. Governor Blease refessed to comment on the lynching. NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION TO MEET. (Special to The Colorado Statesman.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 12.—By call of President R. W.

Denver.—Two bills to establish a mileage charge for passenger rates on railroads, a bill for a constitutional amendment allowing school districts at their discretion to establish separate schools for colored children, a bill licensing and placing under bond all commission merchants handling farm, dairy, orchard or garden produce, wares or merchandise, and several bills to protect the health of children were introduced in the House of Representatives. The bill for the segregation of colored children in schools was introduced by Representative Warren M. Persons of Colorado Springs. There are many people from Texas, Oklahoma and other southern states who spend a good part of, or even the entire year, at Colorado Springs. Many prominent men there favor such a law. Some of the colored people themselves are urging it, as they claim that their children are discriminated against under present conditions. Representative Young is author of a bill which establishes an eastern and western division of the state for purposes of regulating passenger rates on trains. An arbitrary line from north to south running through Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trinidad is established. In all territory east of this line the fare is to be 2 cents a mile; in all territory west of it, or the mountainous region, the fare is to be 3 cents a mile. Representative Sweet's bill establishes the same geographical line and places the mileage in the eastern zone at 2 cents per mile. In the mountainous regions the mileage is based upon the earning capacity of the railroads per mile. In no place shall the mileage charge be more than 4 cents, where the earnings are less than $1,000 per mile. The minimum charge for mountain roads will be 3 cents per mile. For roads which are mixed and which do not segregate their earnings, the charge will be $3½ cents a mile where the earnings are under $1,200 per mile, and 3 cents per mile where the earnings are over $1,200 per mile. To Facilitate Counting of Votes. Denver.—Two sets of judges and two sets of clerks are to be installed at voting places during election hereafter, if a bill being prepared by Representative Williams of Denver is passed. Williams contends that the present system of counting the ballots is not what it should be, and that by his system the counting will be greatly facilitated and the returns' will come in within a reasonable time after the count is started. "I have seen aged men and women who have acted as judges and clerks, sit up for twenty-four to thirty-six hours at a stretch, and sometimes longer, half dead for sleep, in order to carry out their duties as required by law. By having two sets of these officers of election they can take turns and the cost will not be increased, inasmuch as the count can be completed in half the time in which one set can do the work." Passed by the House. Adopts resolution granting election committee authority to conduct Las Animas House contest. Adopts resolution to meet with Senate to hear evidence in contest of John C. Nixon, Progressive, for lieutenant governorship. Speaker O. C. Skinner signed short appropriation bill. Protect Widows from Husband's Debts Denver. — Women and children would be protected from the creditors of dead husbands and father by enactment into law of a bill introduced in the House by Representatives Dalley and Kavanaaugh. The measure is regarded as being of the highest importance and should it pass many a widow's children would bless its introducers. It is set forth among the provisions that if any decedent leave a widow residing in this state, in all cases she shall be allowed to have and retain as her sole and separate property, one bed and bedding, wearing apparel of herself and family, one cow and calf, one saddle and bridle, one horse, household furniture for herself and family, and also the same amount and species of property as is or may be by law exempt from execution, not to exceed in any event the sum of $2,000. If there be no widow, but minor child or children, such child or children shall be entitled to the same rights of allowance as the widow and paid to the guardian. Bills Introduced in House. H. B. No. 34, Norvell—To provide for repairs on the Routt county state fish hatchery at Steamboat Springs. H. B.

Old Introduces Bill to Tax Cattle Driven from One County to Another. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Intimating that a determined fight will be made on each and every attempt to increase appropriations for state departments or to increase the number of employees of any department, members of the House of Representatives began a determined attack upon an amendment to the act establishing the bureau of labor statistics. The amendment, which was introduced by Representative C. J. Leftwich of Pueblo, calls for the appointment of an assistant deputy labor commissioner to assist in arbitrating and meditating labor troubles. The increased appropriation sought is $1,800 a year. Representatives Hasty, Ardourel, Gates and Old opposed the measure, and the author of the amendment finally, just before adjournment, asked further consideration of the matter to go over. A bill making it necessary for every employer of labor to report to the bureau of labor statistics each accident resulting in injury or death of an employé, under penalty of not more than $2,000 fine, was passed on second reading. Representative Leftwich's bill for an additional $1,000 in the state free employment agency appropriation was passed on second reading after a prolonged argument and after it had been amended and reamended several times. A bill introduced by Representative Old provides for the taxation of all cattle driven from one county into pasturage in another county and which heretofore have escaped taxation by this method. Chairman Wright of the judiciary committee introduced two bills determined upon at a conference of the House and Senate judiciary committees with the executive committee of the State Bar Association. One provides that the Supreme Court may alter and promulgate rules of procedure for all courts of record in order to facilitate court trials. The other provides that no reversal of judgment shall be made on mere technicalities unless the rights of a party to a suit have been materially affected. Passed in the Senate. The short appropriation bill was passed by the Senate on third reading. Resolution ratifying amendment to the United States constitution providing for election of senators by popular vote passed on second reading. Bill for an amendment to the state constitution declaring smelters to be a public utility passed on second reading. Motion to place both parties to the Barela-Wycoff election contest under bond to pay the expense of the proceeding defeated. Action on the Nixon contest for the lieutenant' governorship indefinitely postponed. Bills Introduced in Senate. S. B. 34, Garman—Dividing Colorado into four congressional districts. S. B. 35, Tobln—Increasing number of judges in the seventh judicial district to two. S. B. '36, Reynolds—Providing for a license of $25 a year for all drug stores selling liquor. This is a state tax and includes every drug store. S. B. 37, Stephan—Raising the road tax from $2 to $5 and giving the distribution of the revenue to incorporated cities and towns, instead of to county commissioners. S. B. 38, Garman—Providing for an appropriation that will permit the opening of a state employment agency in Denver. S. B. 39, Carver—Appropriation for part of the expenses of the state home for mental defectives. S. B. 40, Mrs. Robinson—Appropriation for part of expenses for state home for dependent children. S. B. 41, Tierney—Eight-hour bill for employés in state institutions. S. B. 42, Tierney—Eight-hour bill for employed in state penitentiary. S. B. 43, Tierney—A single tax measure. S. B. 44, Attolter—Increasing judges in Eighth judicial district from two to three. S. B. 47, Bellesfield—An eight-hour bill for mines, smelters and mills, etc. it repeals the Stephan eight-hour bill of 1907 and also the bill initiated in November, which latter, it is claimed, repealed the Hurd bill, and the Bellesfield bill re-enacts the Hurd bill. This bill raises the question if a bill initiated can be repealed by the Legislature, and also if a bill pertaining to the immediate preservation of public health and danger to life and limb comes within the scope of the referendum. S. B. 45, Carver—An individual income tax measure. S. B. 46, Cornforth—Fixing compensation of third-class county clerks. S. B. 48, Tobin—Providing for the license of automobiles and automobile drivers and for general distribution of the funds. S. B. 48, Tobin—Amending the irrigation law so that a town can organize a district. The bill is intended to straighten out a water tangle in Olathe, where the town wants water that is in an irrigation district. S. B. 49, Tobin—Providing for a state license for automobiles. CHAS. W. HENDERSON COMPILES FIGURES ON 1912 PRODUCTION. Large Increase in Zinc, Lead and Silver Output, But Decreases in Copper and Gold. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—The output of Colorado mines for eleven months of 1912 and an estimate for December, according to preliminary figures by Charles W. Henderson, of the United States Geological Survey, shows a decrease of $300,000 for gold, an increase of 750,000 ounces for silver, a decrease of 1,000,000 pounds for copper, an increase of 5,000,000 pounds for lead, and an increase of 5,000,000 pounds for an increase of 27,000,000 pounds for zinc. With increased market prices for silver, copper, and zinc, the value of the output in 1912 was over $4,000,000 greater than in 1911—$3,000,000 in zinc and $1,000,000 in silver, the increased value for lead and copper about balancing the decrease for gold. The output for 1912 is therefore estimated at approximately $18,700,000 in gold, 8,080,000 fine ounces of silver, 7,025,000 pounds of copper, 74,680,000 pounds of lead, and 121,600,000 pounds of zinc, valued in all at nearly $36,500,000. The tonnage treated by the Globe, Leadville, Pueblo, Durango, and Salida smelters showed an increase for the year. Ore was also shipped to the Murray, Garfield and Midvale plants in Utah. An increased tonnage of compex zinc ore and concentrates from Colorado and other Western states was treated at the United States Zinc Co.'s plant at Pueblo. The output of Cripple Creek showed an increase of $500,000 in gold. Early in 1912 the drainage by the Roosevelt tunnel had lowered the water in many of the large properties (except the Golden Cycle and Vindicator mines), so than an additional 100 feet in depth could be worked, and an increased tonnage was mined during the year. Despite the closing of the Standard custom chlorination plant at the end of the year 1911, leaving in the custom-milling field at Colorado Springs only the Golden Cycle and Portland mills, the total yield from the gold mills showed an increase for the year. The Portland plant during 1911-12 had been gradually transformed to a cyanide mill; thus cyanidation in 1912 had completely superseded the use of chlorination in the treatment of Cripple Creek ores. The Colorado cyanide plant at Colorado Springs and the Union plant at Florence continued operations on old tailings. The Stratton's Independence cyanide-concentration mill and the Portland cyanide-cincentration plant, both at Victor, continued to treat from 10,000 to 11,000 tons a month each of dump and low-grade mine ore. The Ajax cyanide plant, using the Clancy process, was operated part of the year. Several of the smaller cyanide plants in the Cripple Creek district were operated with an increased output from this source. An increased tonnage of the higher-grade ores was shipped direct to smelters. The tonnage shipped from Lake county (chiefly Leadville) showed an increase, with gains in output of all the metals except copper. The output of zinc was approximately 99,000,000 pounds, representing an increase of 27,000,000 pounds in quantity and $2,600,000 in value. The output of zinc carbonate was 137,000 tons of approximately 30 per cent zinc, against 83,905 tons of 31 per cent zinc in 1911. The zinc sulphide shipped decreased somewhat from the 79,376 tons of 23.3 per cent. ore shipped in 1911. However, the Empire Zinc Co.'s magnetic-separation plant (with an increased capacity), at Cañon City, and the SCHOOL LAND SALES DOUBLE Receipts for 1911-1912 Period Were $1,635,332; Board Issues Report. Denver.—Sales of state lands, proceeds of which go into the state school fund for the biennial period ending with November 30, were double the sales made during the 1907-1907 period. They showed an increase of $250,000 over the 1909-1910 period. The receipts for the three periods were $837,110.33, $1,428,787.82, $1,635,332.86.

Phoenix, Ariz.-H. A. Jastro of Bakersfield, Cal., was re-elected president of the American National Live Stock Association at the sixteenth annual convention. Denver won over El Paso in the contest for the next convention. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the Lever bill, for federal supervision of the open range; protesting against the reduction of the tariff on cattle, meat products, wool, sheep and hides, and declaring for a physical valuation of railroads as the basis for transportation rates. United States Zinc Co.'s magnetic-separation plant at Pueblo, operating chlefly on Leadville ores, both treated increased quantities of stock ore. The Western Chemical Co.'s wet-concentration and magnetic-separation plant at Denver treated an increased tonnage of zinc-lead sulphide ore. The buildings of the Rho magnetic-separation plant at Leadville (closed in July, 1911), were purchased late in 1912 by the Sutton, Steele & Steele Co., for the treatment of sulphide and siliceous ores of Leadville. The San Juan region of Dolores, La Plata, Ouray, San Juan and San Miguel counties, showed a decrease of $1,000,000 in output of gold, but an increase of 500,000 ounces of silver, 3,500,000 pounds of lead, and 700,000 pounds of copper. The yield of zinc was 300,000 pounds less than in 1911. The decrease in the yield of gold was caused chiefly by the decline in operations of the Camp Bird mine, which was to be closed July, 1912, but which, owing to the discovery of some new ore bodies, is still being operated. The decrease in gold production from Ourray county was $300,000 in mill bullion, and $120,000 in contents of ore and concentrates shipped, a total of $920,000. San Miguel county's gold output from both bullion and smelting material showed a decrease of $120,000 for the year. San Juan county showed an increase in output of all metals, including one of $175,000 in gold. Ourray county showed an increase for silver but decreases for lead and copper. La Plata county's gold yield fell off $160,000. San Miguel county showed considerable increases for silver and lead but small decreases for copper and zinc. Dolores county showed notable increases in all the metals, owing to the reopening of mines at Rico. The yield of gold bullion from Boulder county decreased appreciably, as did the shipments of ore, there being a decrease for all the metals except lead. Clear Creek county's output showed a small decrease for all the metals. In Gilpin county not only was there an increase of gold bullion produced, but the contents of all the metals in ore and concentrates showed appreciable gains. The Pitkin county (Aspen) yield showed an appreciable increase in silver output, but a decrease in lead. Several cars of zinc carbonate (the first ore of this class from this camp) and several cars of zinc sulphide concentrates were shipped. The shipment of ore and concentrates from Creede showed a decrease for all the metals except silver, which increased about 200,000 ounces. A larger tonnage of ore was shipped from Hinsdale county. The dredge output of gold in Summit county increased $150,000; the zinc yield from Breckenridge equaled that of 1911, but smaller shipments of zinc concentrates from Kokomo resulted in a decreased yield of zinc for the county. Eagle county's output of zinc showed very little change. Park county's placer output of gold showed a small decrease, but there was a considerable increase in the gold contents of crude ore shipped, while the contents of lead and silver decreased appreciably. The dredge in Costilla county was not operated. NEARLY 100,000 DIVORCES More Than 70,000 Children Deprived of Parents by Divorce Past Year. New York.—More than 70,000 children, mostly under the age of nine years, wer deprived of one or both parents by divorce in this country during the past year, according to figures with which the Rev. Francis M. Moody stirred members of the New York State Marriage and Divorce Commission at its meeting. "The Pacific coast," he said, "has been the greatest divorce center of the entire world. In the year 1912 alone there were granted in the United States over 100,000 divorces. In forty years 3,700,000 adults were separated by divorces, and more than 5,000,000 persons affected by these cases. ABOUT HIGH MEAT PRICES Government Report Says Livestock Alone Shows Advance in 1912. Washington.—The farmer was sharing the profits of the increased cost of living as far as the prices paid for meats on Dec. 15 last, compared with those of a year ago, according to figures announced by the Department of Agriculture. At the same time he was receiving less for his staple crops than he did a year previous. Average prices received by producers on Dec. 15 last showed hogs selling at $6.89 a hundred pounds, an increase of $1.17 over the same time in 1911; beef cattle, at $5.33, was 96 cents higher; veal calves, at $6.88, was 90 cents higher; sheep, at $4.21, was 50 cents higher, and lambs, at $5.70, was 77 cents higher. Hogs, veal calves and sheep were lower than in 1910. The Central Bottling & Distributing Co.

NO SEGREGATION with a public school system in entire country. Our school is well managed, so judicious and literally said that a good emblest home. It is certainly age. This superb system makes mind. It has been a growing and assimilating all the East and North and its snaps and ready initiative color, sex or condition. And the great benefits it offers fight which the most enlightened of schools. Such names are well recalled. The tool is the result. Our you the best use of these educations the high schools. The rule a mechanical turn of mind trades. The East Doctor student to that higher one or a liberal education. If the course may at once on any one of the great universities should also strive to equip students itself that where teachers also might logically, for some of our young girls advantages and are amused a high school course it will. Thus fully prepared the for teachers and make a broadminded member. Denver is blessed with a public school system that finds no superior and but few equals in this entire country. Our schools are of so high a class, so splendidly equipped, so well managed, so judiciously distributed over the city that it might almost be literally said that a good education is brought to the very door of the humblest home. It is certainly within the easy reach of every child of school age. This superb system is not the work of a day nor the creation of a single mind. It has been a growth, steadily but intelligently tentative, absorbing and assimilating all the good features of the older and best schools of the East and North and adding the more practical ideas of the West with its snap and ready initiative. It recognizes no distinction on lines of race, color, sex or condition. All are free to avail themselves on equal terms of the great benefits it offers. Our people remember with gratitude the great fight which the most enlightened citizens, white and colored, made in 1876 to prevent unjust racial discrimination and to establish a single system of schools. Such names as Governor Routt, Steinhauses, Harding and others are well recalled. They led the good fight that won, and our mixed school is the result. Our youth should show their appreciation by making the best use of these educational advantages. They should not stop short of the high schools. The manual training school invites those who may have a mechanical turn of mind and would like to equip themselves for the industrial trades. The East Denver High School is well adapted to introduce the student to that higher order of intellectual training known as the humanities or a liberal education. Here the student choosing the classical or scientific course may at once on graduation matriculate in the freshman class of any one of the great universities of the country, without further examination. Our young ladies should also strive to equip themselves for some useful calling. It naturally suggests itself that where a liberal system of mixed schools prevails the teachers also might logically in time become mixed. Here is an opportunity for some of our young girls who may have fully utilized their educational advantages and are ambitious to become schoolma'ams. In addition to a high school course it would be well to finish at the State Normal School. Thus fully prepared the young lady should attend the annual examination for teachers and make application for a position. There are several liberal and broadminded members on the present board of education. THE VENTURE SPIRIT. in the general object to which it is itself, the spirit of venture development among their student needs, freighted alo the thing that tells in the degree of daring which oition and standing of that at large, and is the measure spirit of venture is in itsors and demonstrators wei even employs and com WHERE progress is the general object to which an element of people must imperatively address itself, the spirit of venture is the most important characteristic demanding development among them. Intellectual and moral advancement are independent needs, freighted always with saving benefits, but persistent daring is the thing that tells in the never-ending struggle for better conditions. The degree of daring which characterizes a people establishes the general position and standing of that people in its contact and relations with the world at large, and is the measure of its power in all of its smaller relations. The spirit of venture is in itself an educating force, for it carries its possessors and demonstrators well up in comparisons with intellectual elements and even employs and commands those elements in the furtherance of its enterprises. A man need not necessarily be educated to devote himself to the carrying out of venturesome achievements, whether in business or the larger spheres, although an educated man, possessed of the venture spirit, is better equipped and capable of greater successes than the uneducated man. History furnishes us with many examples of self-made men, whose education was picked up as they went along, but who were really the pioneers of progress. They prepare the way for the people and for the educated and better equipped ventures who follow in their footsteps. To teach a people to venture out of usual and known paths is to make that people independent, self-reliant and strong. The Caucasian has led the world for ages because of his unmatched daring. The Japanese, in fifty years, have sprung from a state of peculiar Orientalism, akin to barbarism, into the position of one of the leading nations of the world, from which they have begun to challenge Caucasian civilization for comparison of merit, because of an awakened venture spirit which suddenly overleaped the boundaries of its island home and flowed through the inlets of Eastern Asia. China is now catching the spirit and awakening from a sleep of two thousand years. The nations that sleep, ventureless, are the nations that are being overwhelmed and absorbed. The Negro, particularly the Negro of America, has yet to thoroughly learn the lesson of venture and dare. He must throw himself more generally into the slowly opening channels of business enterprises at home and follow their first widening leads around the world. Great opportunity awaits him as it awaits no other people in all the earth. But he must venture and dare as other races have done, and as conquerors must ever expect to do. Negro children should be taught from babyhood to venture at high and great objects, towards which parental judgment or their own imaginations direct them. Repeated failures should not be allowed to discourage them, for failure is one of the natural elements of eventual and thorough success. When the Negro begins to dare to exploit the opportunities of the world as other men dare, no question of race will hamper or hold him in check, for he will then be on the way to the heights of undaunted manhood. CERTAIN amount of outdoor sport is absolutely essential to wholesome college life. The question arises as to where the line should be drawn. Now, college athletics will never thrive without intercollegiate contests. To get for the greatest number the greatest beneficial results from athletics you must create the maximum interest, and to do this you must have the maximum incentive. Very few men will go out and run around a quarter-mile track purely for exercise. There must be the incentive of a contest, either present or prospective. If the prospective contest be a trial of speed against some individual college mate the incentive may be sufficient to sustain a couple of weeks' training, but if the incentive be the hope of representing his class in an interclass contest a man will train longer and more faithfully. If, however, the incentive be the certainty that if he demonstrates that he is the best man in the event among all his classmates and college mates as well, he will have the honor of wearing his college colors in an intercollegiate contest, and then the opportunity of testing his speed against the best athletes of neighboring colleges. Then a man will train season after season, and there is an incentive that will attract the maximum number of men into the sport. Now if it be true, as I contend that it is, that athletics in college are essential to wholesome life, and if it be true, and I contend that it is, that any general sustained interest in athletics is impossible in a college without the stimulus of prospective intercollegiate contests, then it ought to follow that any restrictions as to the number of such contests should be made only for sound reasons and upon the practical certainty that some advantage is assured which will compensate for the loss of athletic interest and activity which is certain to follow any extensive restriction. If it be true, which I should not be willing to concede, that there is any serious necessity of reducing the number of intercollegiate contests, it is my idea that the only contests which can be eliminated without seriously impairing the internal athletic activities of the colleges are, first, intercollegiate contests in indoor games, such as basket ball, and, second, intercollegiate class contests. I should regret exceedingly seeing any substantial restriction of the number of games in any of the so-called major sports. Take football as an illustration. If the game is to be played at all it should be played well. The highest standard of play cannot be reached without contests with other colleges distributed through the season. To restrict the number of these contests means the lowering of the standard of and consequently loss of interest in the game. This tends to lessen the number of men who will try for the team, and the whole tendency would be toward a decrease of healthy athletic getti at once to develop Christian graces. The old admonition, "Do with your might what your hands find to do," might probably better read, "Do well what your hands find to do," and it should be noted that doing well does not necessarily mean doing big things.

Cultivate patience, forbearance, perseverance, courage, love and all other characteristics of the righteous man, no matter what your vocation may be. Culture and refinement, the ability to meet one's fellow man with the proper address, the quality of being kind and courteous, the habit of cleanliness in mind and body, may be acquired anywhere and under any circumstances, and he who has acquired these to the greatest degree, though he may be in the most humble walk of life, has in the largest measure the most essential qualifications for the highest positions in life. Furthermore, he who is improving his moral character and is acquiring that immovableness which is tempered with genuine courtesy and sweetness, cannot complain of a lack of advantage.

Bacon says: "For in proportion as a man is watchfully and prayerfully on his guard against the unseen current of passion and prejudices, which is ever tending to drive him out of the right course, in the same degree he will have reason for cherishing an humble hope that he, the Spirit of Truth, is, and will be with him to enlighten his understanding." "There is no greater monster in being than a very bad man of great parts," says another writer. Such a one would seem like a man with one side wide awake, alive, and the other side insensate. Persons who make if the chief aim of their lives to collect and gather mere knowledge of wealth may attain to their highest ambitions and they may live in luxury, but they lost much. No one should ever allow his intellect to interfere with his being a power for good in some way or other.

At some period in the life of each individual there comes an awakening to the necessity of rightness, and hence an awakening to the importance of that ideal manhood which accords with the divine requirement. We believe that each one must work out the problem of life from the particular position in which the necessity of so doing first appears to him; that he must begin graces. The old admonition, "Do with your to do," might probably better read, "Do well and it should be noted that doing well does big things. It means doing right in all right at every step of the journey, doing experience. Cultivate patience, forbearance, and all other characteristics of the righteous location may be.

CUT OUT EXTRA WORK ELIMINATION OF UNNECESSARY MOTIONS IS ONE WAY. Saving of Energy, Not to Speak of Added Comfort, Is Strong Factor in Favor of Modern Household Methods. It has been figured out in schools of domestic science that the average method of shelling peas takes about five motions to each pod, whereas no more than three motions are necessary. Place the dish of peas in front of you, placing the empty dish for the shelled peas in front of that, reach forward, getting a pod, pull it toward you, split it with the fingers at the same time. By the time it is over the empty dish the motion of the finger will strip the peas into that receptacle, toss the pod to one side and repeat. The old-fashioned method has generally been to put the dish of unshelled peas in front of you, leave the receptacle at the right and the one for the pods at the left. This necessitates bending the body, turning the head and making all sorts of unnecessary motions between the three dishes, resulting in loss of good energy and many good minutes of time wasted. Dustpans are made today with long handles. It would be just as absurd to sweep the floor with a whisk broom as it would be to use a short handled dustpan. In using the old-fashioned dust pans the sweeper has to stoop many times to get up all the dirt, making it twice as hard. The broom is very cumbersome to handle while stooping, the back is strained, the face is close to the unhealthy dust and everything is wrong. Use a long handled dustpan, stand erect. The dirt can be swept into it just as neatly and with twice as much comfort and saving of energy. The same holds good in washing dishes. Many women put the drainer on the left of the dishpan, necessitating the wasted motion of reaching across the pan to place the washed dishes to drain. The natural motion is simply to pass the washed dishes to the right. Sally Lunns. Mix one-quarter teaspoonful of soft sugar with one-half ounce of compressed yeast till liquid. Warm one and one-half gills of milk and stir it into the yeast. Well beat an egg and stir it into the milk. Then strain the whole mixture into twelve ounces of sieved flour to which one-half teaspoonful of salt has been added. Turn on to a floured board and knead lightly, sprinkling with a little flour to keep it from sticking. Butter two deep, round tins and put half the dough in each, cover the tops with greased paper and leave near the fire to rise for about an hour, when the cakes should fill the tins. Then bake in a quick oven for about thirty minutes. Fish Bisque. A fish bisque is made from one cupful of cold fish minced very fine, one cup of hot milk and a cupful of any white stock. The carcass of a chicken cooked slowly will yield an excellent stock for this purpose. The seasoning consists of a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, salt, a dash of cayenne and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Put fish, seasoning and stock together in a pan. Mix one tablespoonful of flour and the same quantity of butter together and stir into the fish mixture. Cook and then stir in the boiling milk, adding a tablespoonful of cracker crumbs. Potato Apples. Take two cupfuls of boiled potatoes mashed, and heat them. Mix the mashed potatoes with two tablespoonfuls of hot milk and shape into eight portions, forming a ball. Dent the top of each and insert a clove, pushing it down well to represent the bloom end of the apple. Then insert another clove to form a stem at the other end. Brush each apple over with a little melted butter and sprinkle one side with cinnamon to give a rosy tint. Bake in a medium oven for ten minutes and serve hot. Sandwiches for Afternoon Tea The colder weather demands something a little substantial at the four o'clock tea. A filling very much favored by English women is made from thin slices of bread lightly buttered and spread with a mixture of orange marmalade, pecan nuts, and cream cheese. Some like this filling placed between small tea biscuits, but the mixture should be kept from the edges of the biscuit. Apple Hot Cakes. Butter gem pans and half fill them with rich biscuit dough. Pare, core and slice tart, juicy apples and fill gem pans, placing apples on top of the dough. Cover each one with a heaping tablespoonful of soft maple sugar and place bits of butter on top. Bake in a quick oven and serve with cream. Baked Peas. Wash a pint of split peas and put them in a beanpot with a tablespoonful of molasses, a small strip of salt pork and salt to taste. Cover with hot water, and bake like beans, filling the pot with water as it cooks up. About three hours of baking is necessary. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Describing as an inspiring scene the deft work of a group of negro street laborers in New York City, the Amsterdam News says: No one thought, apparently, of the creed or color of the experts, but admired only their skill. One would have thought that only white men, perhaps imported Germans, Belgians or other highly trained European mechanics, would be employed to do such work. But if one could have penetrated the crowds gathered on the curbing and got a closer view of the mechanics he would have been astonished to see that they were colored men, and, what is more, they being tended by Italian helpers. No colored man watching the scene could come away without glowing in righteous race pride. No white man observed the scene and took the sober second thought without experiencing just a little increased respect for the ability of the black man. Here is an evidence of what skill and training will do for any colored youth. The world is beginning to ask not whether you are a white man or a black man, whether you are a Protestant, Catholic or Hebrew, but whether or not you are doing the work, and whether you can do that work better than anyone else. There is no color line in skill. There will be no color line in the generations to come against the man, white or black, who has mastered some one trade or profession. To be prepared for an emergency is to have that emergency arise. Colored boys and girls, fit yourselves for the work of tomorrow. There is a great work for each and every one to do. The black Belgian block layer is only the forerunner of the black artisan of the future of every man or woman who knows his or her work. Dearfield, Colorado, is the scene of a Negro colony in the west. It is located west of the Missouri river and north of the Mason and Dixon line, 70 miles northeast of Denver. Twenty-six colored families are settled on government land. Most of them have already been here long enough to own the soil they till. They have 6,000 acres under their control. In 1911 they had but two habitable house. Now they have fourteen. In the same year there were but 200 acres fenced; now there are 3,000. In 1911 they had 150 acres broken and in cultivation, this year 500 acres are under cultivation. The land is especially adapted to the cultivation of beets. The settlement is crying for tradesmen. They are especially in need of blacksmiths, cobblers and saddle makers. There is not a negro bank in all South Carolina. Is this one reason why Cole L. Blease has such an easy time in his state kicking the negro dog around? E. J. Sawyer, a colored citizen of Bennettts, a man of some means, is considering the wisdom of moving to Columbia and organizing and operating a bank by and for his people. Mr. Sawyer is methodical, level-headed, and a man of unimpeachable integrity. He is the right man to head the movement. Tuskegee, Ala.—Friends of the late S. Coleridge-Taylor, of London, have written Booker T. Washington, urging him to assist in securing a fund for the support of Mr. Taylor's widow and children. It seems that help is urgently needed, as Mr. Taylor's family are left without means to live on. Mr. Washington has received a cable to this effect. We have very little respect for the negro who wishes to turn white; and for that reason abandon his race for fifth-rate associates among other people. The women of our race have much of virtue, temperance, sobriety, beauty and other highly commendable qualities to satisfy the most critical and technical man in the race. They have all of these good qualities with odds against them, which is only suggestive of what they would be if encouraged and protected by their men, and left undisturbed by lascivious white men. If the negro race had not been a necessity, God would have not permitted it to exist. Having permitted it, he will not permit either low-grade white men or bad negroes to destroy it. Every negro that crosses the boundary line and attempts to break into other races pays the penalty for such indiscretion and very many.—Dallas Express. The true test of greatness is not to allow your hat to get too small for you. We have all experienced times when hard words came mighty easy. Some men will sit down for hours and discourse on the evils of laziness. The girl who is to be had for the asking generally spends all her life waiting to be asked. The suburban cook should be well trained. She frequently comes on one and goes on the next. When a woman stays home from church because it is raining either her religion or her complexton isn't water-soot. J. W. Caldwell writes to the New York World that he is educated, a good bookkeeper and skilled stenographer, but can get no work in New York because he is a negro. He adds that there are hundreds of others like him, who are walking the streets of the metropolis and can get no employment in the work they desire. This being true, the north has no right to lecture to the south about race prejudice and the color line. The incident proves that most of the talk of that kind from that section is insincere. It is a pathetic fact that this letter in the World points out, considered in one light, but it means that the negroes will have to learn to depend on themselves. There are over 10,000,000 negroes in America—over 100,000 in New York city. Why are there not negroes in business who employ bookkeepers and stenographers? If the race has sufficient enterprise and business acumen it can build its own institutions and own civilization. There is no use arguing against race prejudice or race antagonism. It can't be abolished by law or any other way. It is as immutable as the leopard's spots or the Ethiopian's skin. It is a stubborn fact that the negro must learn and accommodate himself to. He is going to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water if he depends entirely on the white man for employment, but nothing debars him from building a business and industrial world of his own. Other people in the past history of the world more oppressed and equally excluded have found it possible to be thrifty in trade. If your daily occupation does not furnish you mental stimuli and brain culture, take up some side line of effort that will be in a measure a means of further education. When you come to realize that the side interest furnishes the brain and soul expansion lacking in your regular line of work, your contentment with your daily employment will become more complete. There are various avenues of side effort into which one can enter with ever increasing absorption of interest—among them some branch of church work, the promotion of secret organizations, civic or community improvement through organizations for the purpose, work among the unfortunate; culture may be sought in literature through clubs or by private instruction; a course suitable to one's talents or tastes from some correspondence school; the cultivation of musical talents, etc., etc. The work of so many of the negro people is irksome and non-productive of culture and refinement, the advice here given should find ready reception by many of them. As long as there is life in an individual's body, and health along therewith, efforts should be made unceasingly for enlarging the mental horizon and broadening the activities of the soul. If it be necessary that we "pray without ceasing," then without ceasing we should strive for a greater power to think keenly and feel more intensity. The Scullin-Gallagher Steel Foundry of St. Louis, Missouri, one of the largest steel plants in the world, employs several thousand colored men in its shops. Negroes are to be found working in all but three of its departments and lack of experience and training is the sole reason. The wages paid Negroes run from $1.75 to $6.00 per day. Not a few Negroes have learned the trade in this foundry and are now foremen of their departments. Sam Powell of Paw Creek, N. C., sold in the Charlotte market early in December 13 bales of cotton for which he received $1,086. He disposed of 400 bushels of cotton seed for $600. Eight bales sold at 18 cents a pound and five bales at 17 cents a pound. He averaged a bale to the acre. Mr. Powell is in every way an up-to-date farmer. He subscribes for and reads several papers, both daily and farm journals. He raises each year his own food supplies and sells enough to pay his expenses. The trouble with most young persons who are complaining and whining because they have not a soft job is: They are not competent to fill the soft chair. It is very easy to say what you can do and tell some one else what they ought to do, but for you to prove it is another and harder thing. Good positions are always looking for a good and competent man.—The Forum. Wealth doesn't always bring happiness. So after all it may be philanthropy to separate a fool and his money. A man may acquire ease and plenty, but not in the order named. Some girls are such prudes that they wouldn't care to go to heaven without a chaperon. About the only things some people seem to get out of life are the necks and drumsticks. It's all right to fight the devil with fire, but don't lose sight of the fact that your ammunition will last longer than yours. IN DEFENSE OF MISS ANNIE SMOOT CAPITAL SOCIAL SET'S GREATEST BEAUTY MANY JEWELS AT MRS. DRAPER'S BALL DR. CARL ALSBERG SUCCEEDS DR. WILEY Some sort of a society jenkins announced that Miss Aiee Smoot, who will make her debut in Washington this winter, "has forced Washington society to face a problem," and then goes on to remark that the highly conventional dowagers of the official set will scarcely be able to reconcile themselves to associating with their daughter, a will make her bed but in Washington this winter, "has forced Washington society to face a problem." and then goes on to remark that the highly conventional dowagers of the official set will scarcely be able to reconcile themselves to associating with their daughter, a young woman who is avowedly a Mormon, and who has forbears elders of the church in Utah long before there was a pretense of giving up bigamy. As a matter of fact, Miss Smoot, who is a very pretty and very bright girl, has been living in Washington for a number of years, attended school, and has grown into young womanhood right in the circle of the young ladies who will make their bow to the public this winter. She never has been snubbed, and I do not supose anybody has stopped to think whether she was a Mormon, Pagan, Catholic, or Cambellite. Polygamous Mormonism is long since a dead letter, and pretty Miss Smoot has not a thing on earth to do with it, and just why, as she is blooming into young womanhood, she should be the recent election is larger number of Washington people as the election of young Peter Gerry of Rhode Island, to a seat in the lower house.

Apart from the charming personality of this young couple their names recall many important chapters of history. Mr. Gerry represents the sixth generation of his name to figure in the national annals and his friends predict that as a lawmaker he will add new laurels to the name. He comes in direct line with the signer, Eldridge Gerry of Marblehead, Mass., a member of the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1780, a commissioner sent by the infant republic to France in 1789, governor of Massachusetts and vice-president of the United States from 1813 to 1814. Mr. Gerry is one of the long line of vice-presidents who died in office. Eldridge Thomas Gerry, the distinguished lawyer and philanthropist, is his grandfather. In Mrs. Gerry, formerly Miss Mathilde Townsend, centers much interesting political history con Mrs. William F.

It has been renamed the "Pearl" ball on account of the display of priceless jewels worn with the Louis XV costumes of the hostess and her guests. Mrs. Draper wore $500,000 worth of pearls, which included a five-pointed tiara of pear-shaped pearls, some of them as large as a small pear, earrings and collar of pearls, a fourstrand necklace, besides a long strand of pearls, which hung from her shoulders nearly to the bottom of her gown, a corsage ornament of pearls and a stomacher which covered her waist and hips as a coat without sleeves. Mrs. Draper was gowned in the costume of a court lady of the Louis XV period, and wore beneath the pearls a costume of white satin with broad stripes of black velvet. Although many of the jewels worn were priceless, it is estimated that more than $1,500,000 in pearls were Following instructions from President Taft. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson the other day appointed Dr. Carl Alsberg chief of the bureau of chemistry, the position vacated last spring by Dr. H. W. Wiley. A. The vacancy in the bureau of chemistry made by the resignation of Dr. Wiley has been filled since March 15 last by Dr. R. E. Doolittle, formerly in charge of the New York food laboratory of the department. It has been thought in many quarters that the appointment of Dr. Doolittle as permanent chief of the bureau would be made. It was also reported and cur- subject of social ostracism is not understandable. Senator and Mrs. Smoot move in the very best society in Washington. He has but one wife, and never had but one, and he says so. It is true that back of Miss Smoot she has had some grandfathers who were polygamous Mormons. Her father's father, Abraham Smoot, had several wives. One of them was a Norwegian girl, and she gave birth to the present apostle, Miss Annie's father. The debutante has two sisters and three brothers. When Senator Smoot was made an apostle of the Mormon church, and elected to the United States senate in 1904, an attempt was made by certain women's organizations to have him expelled from the senate on the ground that he was a member of a corporation that believed in polygamy. It was even charged that the senator himself had three wives, but the charge was not proven. Senator Smoot's wife was formerly Miss Alpha Eldridge. She was "Alpha and Omega, the first and the last," so the husband told his accusers. Some time previously the Mormons elected Brigham H. Roberts to congress. He had several wives. The house of representatives rejected him, on the ground that he practiced polygamy, and none of his daughters were received in Washington society. But with Miss Annie Smoot the proposition is entirely different. Her father is not a polygamous Mormon. She is well qualified for social duties. nected with the dawn of the railroad importance of the lake country of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, through her grandfather's connection with the Pennsylvania system and later as a member of congress. Beauty as a divine attribute and the most desirable possession which a daughter of Eve can hope, is however more associated with any consideration of Mrs. Gerry than her intimate relation to history past and present. She is by universal consent one of the rarely beautiful women of her era and at the time of her presentation to society, she created a furore here and abroad. She is of that blonde spirituelle type, slender graceful with pure gold hair and the deepest of azure eyes. Her expression is rather pensive, something which adds to the charm of her calm Madonna-like demeanor. An only child of parents who idolized her and eventual coheir with her cousin, Mrs. Ronalds of New York, of the vast estate left by William L. Scott of Erie, she was most carefully educated at home under specially selected teachers. Her childhood and girlhood were passed here, and Washingtonians feels an especial pride in all that relates to her future. Mr. and Mrs. Gerry were married in the spring of 1906, and among the 200 official guests included the president and his wife, as well as 260 out-of-town guests worn by Mrs. Draper and her guests. Miss Margaret Draper was gowned in the fashion of a young woman of the court of Louix XV, and wore a strand of pearls around her neck which is more valuable than any other necklace of its kind in the world. These pearls were given to Miss Draper by the Dowager Queen Margherita of Italy, who is her godmother. Miss Draper was born in Rome while her father was American ambassador to Italy, and Queen Margherita gave her one of the priceless pearls which are her pride. She has added to them each year, always taking care to pick out those with interesting history or of intrinsic value. Among other women who opened their jewelry caskets to wear their pearls were Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, wife of the secretary of the treasury, whose pearls, like her emeralds, have been carefully selected by a lapidist who travels all over the world for the purpose. Mrs. Joseph Leiter wore the gift of Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter, a companion strand to those of the Duchess of Suffolk, the late Lady Curzon and Mrs. Colin Campbell of England, daughters of Mrs. Leiter. Mrs. Peter Goetle Gerry, who made a personal canvass of Europe in search of the pearls for her strand; Mme. Hauge, Mrs. Richardson Clover and Miss Eudore Clover, all added to the beauty of the "pearl" ball. rently accepted as true that there would be no appointmetn of a permanent chief during the present administration. It is understood that Dr. Doolittle, on finishing his term as acting chief, will return to the charge of the New York laboratory. Dr. Alsberg is the son of a chemist and grew up in an atmosphere of chemistry. His early education was obtained in private schools in New York city, and in 1892 he entered Columbia university, receiving the A. B. degree in 1896. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia university, receiving his M. D. degree in 1900 and the degree of A. M. from the university during the same year. He then went to Germany, and during the period from 1900 to 1903 he took graduate work in the University of Strassburg along the lines of pharmacology, physiological chemistry and internal medicine.

To do so DIVINING ROD IS NIL U. S. Geological Survey Pronounces It Deceptive. Unconscious Work of Will Say Experts; Also That Rod May Be Worked by Operators Who Know Ground Signs. Washington.—Local experts who use the divining rod for the purpose of locating fissure veins, water courses, etc., will doubtless take issue with the report of the United States Geological Survey on the subject. The geologists claim that there is nothing in the contention that underground water can be located with the divining rod, except where it is obvious to any one conversant with the subject that they could as readily locate the presence of water without the use of the divining rod as with it. The question is one that has been studied and commented on for many years. The divining rod men contend that they can do what they claim and that the rod moves downward over a water course despite any effort on their part to restrain it. On the other hand the geological experts maintain that such is not the case, but that the rod is consciously or unconsciously manipulated by the holder of the rod. The report of the government experts is as follows: The United States Geological Survey states in water supply paper 255, entitled "Underground Waters for Farm Use," just reissued, that no appliance, either mechanical or electric, has yet been devised that will detect water in places where plain common sense and close observation will not show its presence just as well. Numerous mechanical devices have been proposed for detecting the presence of underground water, ranging in complexity from the simple forked branch of witch hazel or other tree to more or less elaborate mechanical or electric contrivances. Many of the operators of these devices, especially those who use the home-cut forked branch, are entirely honest in the belief that the working of the rod is influenced by agencies—usually regarded as electric currents following underground streams of water—that are entirely independent of their own bodies and many people have implicit faith in their own and others' ability to locate underground water in this way. In experiments with a rod made from a forked branch it seemed to turn downward at certain points independent of the operator's will, but more complete tests showed that this down turning resulted from slight and, until watched for, unconscious muscular action, the effects of which were communicated through the arms and wrists to the rod. No movement of the rod from causes outside of the body could be detected, and it soon became obvious that the view held by other men of science is correct—that the operation of the "divining rod" is generally due to unconscious movements of the body or of the muscles of the ahd. The experiments made show that these movements occur most frequently at places where the epator's experience has led him to believe that water may be found. In Vindication of the Weather Bureau. Concentrating at the weather bureau offices, the spot in Washington where the "signs of the skies" of continents are read, one finds the old horoscope instinct very much alive. The weather department is becoming more important, not so much because of infallible weather predictions, as for its records of general averages on which probabilities may be based. Willis P. Moore of the weather bureau has "weathered" many a storm of disapproval, when predictions went awry, but he remains a weather scientist in every sense of the word. The Supreme court of New York has lately rendered a decision, which determined the responsibility of the individual under certain adverse weather conditions, which is looked upon as a triumph for weather bureau records. An Italian banker was sued for five hundred dollars damages, owing to icy approaches to his premises. The records of the weather bureau showed that rain and sheet had fallen for two days before the accident and that the temperature was low enough to cause the mixture to congeal; consequently, on the day of the accident it was proven by the records of the weather bureau that icy sidewalks would have been unavoidable. The weather affects nearly every phase of human effort, and the evidence of interested witnesses falls before the immutable records of the weather bureau. The gigantic activities of a great nation are often dependent in the last analysis on phenomena, measured by simple mathematical calculations and matters of routine record of the weather, so that the time-honored tradition placing conversation about the weather only subordinate to courteous salutation is fully vindicated by modern science. 468,000 Apply for $1-a-Day Pensions. In answer to the complaints of delay that have been pouring in from applicants for pensions under the so-called "dollar-a-day" act of May 11 last, James L. Davenport, Commissioner of Pensions, the other day explained that the pension office has been swamped with nearly 500,000 ap- plications in the last seven months and that it has taken an extra force of clerks, working double shift, to complete the adjudication of about 200,000 of these applications. "From May 11 to the end of June," said the commissioner, "468,000 applications were received. Each case had to be fully investigated and the justification of the claim confirmed. It has been a tremendous task, and the fact that we have adjudicated more than 200,000 claims in the last seven months is a high tribute to the efficiency of our office force. "A number of complaints have been received from veterans who have learned that some of their friends who filed applications on the same day they did have already received notification of the adjudication of their claims. "These complainants cannot understand why an application filed on the same day should be adjudicated several weeks before theirs. This is explained by the fact that in one day we have received as many as 37,000 applications. Naturally several weeks must pass before the last of those 37,000 claims have been attended to." Carnival Called Off for Wilson Inaugural. Washington will have no inauguration week carnival. This was decided at a conference between Chairman W. C. Eustis of the inaugural committee and Chairman Isaac Gans of the Chamber of Commerce carnival committee. Mr. Eustis said that plans for an elaborate carnival made by the Chamber of Commerce would be impracticable, because of the lateness of the season, and also because it might man the glory of the inauguration ceremony itself. W. H. Santelmann, leader of the Marine band, said he will play anything the dancers want at the inaugural ball. So far as he is concerned, the statesmen and other guests at the party can dance the turkey trot, the bunny hug, the Texas Tommy, the angleworm wiggle, the grubworm shuffle, the horse trot, the alligator amble, the merry widow waltz, the Parisian glide, the camel slide, the wallaby hop, the hartbeest's cavort or the blind staggers. On his list of raggy songs to be played at the ball are "Steamboat Bill," "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee," "On the Mississippi" and "Everybody's Doin' It," and he is trying to think of others. Dread Toll of Pellagra in United States. Pellagra is spreading in the United States and in the six years it has been known to medical authorities, has claimed not less than 30,000 victims with a fatality rate in excess of 40 per cent., according to a report of the public health service. "It has reached," the report contends, "the dignity of a public health question of national importance." The report gives these figures by states for the period 1907-1911: Virginia, total cases, 628, deaths 349, death rate per hundred cases, 55 per cent; North Carolina, cases 2,412 deaths 1,667, rate 44 per cent; South Carolina, cases 1,880, deaths 582; rate 31 per cent; Georgia, cases 4,558, deaths 1,582, rate 34 per cent; Kentucky, cases 513, deaths 220, rate 43 per cent; Alabama, cases 2,314, deaths 859, rate 37 per cent; Mississippi, cases 2,895, deaths 1,250, rate 43 per cent; Louisiana, cases 670, deaths 296, rate 44 per cent. The figures show pellagra either prevalent or sporadic in the greater part of the United States, but particularly serious in the south. Three Million Stamps Are Used Each Day. Startling figures are shown indicating the amount and value of United States stamps used during the year. More than nine million stamps have been sold, and the stamp collectors are still busy. As an evidence of prosperity it is interesting to note that there is a five dollar postage stamp, more than 11,500 of which were sold last year, and besides these more than eighty thousand of the one-dollar denomination. It has been estimated that more than three million stamps per day were used by the people of the United States last year. As one French humorist remarked in England. "That shows that the American people are certainly used to licking." He thought he had sprung a real joke, but was surprised to hear the American's apt reply. "Yes, we lick the stamps to keep in trim for licking the other fellows." The American eagle screamed, the flag unfurled and the American complimented himself upon having patriotically vindicated the dignity of Uncle Sam by a pertinent allusion to an humble postage stamp."—National Magazine. Historic. A newly rich woman, who was anxious to make a favorable impression in her neighborhood, decided to show her collection of antiques to the bishop when he called. The time came, and one by one she displayed the whole collection, giving him the history of each piece. "There," she said, pointing impressively to an old yellow teapot, "that teapot was used in the Boston Tea Party."—Everybody's. But Wait Till Pay Day. "Didn't that man bow to you?" "He may have done so." "But you did not bow to him?" "I can't be bowing to everybody That was my husband." MAD PRINCE'S LIFE Delights in Smashing All the Crockery Each Day. Francis-Charles of Bourbon, Insane for 40 Years, Is Deaf and Dumb and Presents Horrible Sights. Not Extraordinary revelations are made of the mode of life of Francis-Charles of Bourbon at Rome. Prince of Capua, who is sexenty-five and has lived a madman's life for 40 years in the Villa Marilia Capannori. For several years now he has not spoken, apparently having been stricken deaf and dumb in an apoplectic seizure. Every morning at 8 a servant knocks at the door of the prince's bed chamber and hurriedly places the breakfast tray—a sumptuous repast—through a sliding window inside the room. The prince jumps out of bed, throws a toga around his shoulders and hides till the domestic has disappeared. He connot bear any one to see him. He has neither shaved, had his hair cut, washed nor cut his nails within the memory of his oldest retainers. Formerly, if he saw any one approaching him he would, make the most terrible noise, but nowadays, unable to give vent to his feelings thus, he claws at the air in front of him and lashes out with his fists, although the intruders may be 100 yards or more away. But the most remarkable performance takes effect after breakfast. Day after day, year in and year out, no matter what the weather is, the unfortunate old man rushes without clothing out of the room, down the corridor, across the terrace of the villa to a chair. It is always the same one. Once it was removed, and the prince fell down in one of his oft-recurring fits. Seated on this chair, he dresses himself slowly, being generally presentable by midday. The rest of the day is spent within a circle of four or five square yards. The prince never moves farther away than that from the chair. Round and round it he walks, sharing his meals with the birds. He takes great delight in smashing all the crockery each day. At 8 p. m. it is time to go to bed. A servant appears, and that is enough. Fighting the imaginary foe, the old man rushes off to his room and locks the door. BIRD HAS BEARDED FACE Is Said to Be Strong as an Ox and Cries Like an Infant—Devours Chickens It had the face of a monkey, the beak of a guinea keat, the strength of an ox, the bill of an eagle, and the cry of an infant, did a strange-looking bird that Charles H. Werner of Westport, Md., reports having captured after it had given him an hour's battle for his life late the other day. The half animal, half bird, or whatever it is, measured ten inches in height and four feet from tip to tip of its wings. Around its neck is a band. Mr. Werner says that after attacking him it devoured a live chicken which happened to stray too close to a cage in which it is a prisoner. Mr. Werner says he has traveled all over the world and never before saw anything like the creature he captured. He believes that it came here in a ship from a foreign port and escaped from its captors. Two small, coal-black eles are firmly set in its head, surrounded by a bearded face. Its claws are reported as being "something fierce." THIEVES RIFLE ROYAL TOMB Precious Stones Buried With the Body of the Duchess of Genoa A robbery of the tomb of the duchess of Genoa, mother of Queen Margherita, queen-mother of Italy, in the Church of Superga, near Turin, was discovered the other day. Robbers broke the triple shell of lead containing the body, seized all the jewels and precious stones which had been buried with it, and even tore the ears to obtain the earrings. The Church of Superga 'contains many tombs of the royal house of Savoy and the duchess of Genoa was the last to be buried there. The robbery was discovered by the guardian noticing that the gates leading to the royal crypt had been forced. The telephone wires communicating with Turin had been first cut, then one of the windows had been broken and ladders used to reach the interior of the church. For Subway Guards. Any trainman who can properly repeat the following should not experience any lingual difficulty to lucidly announce any station on the Interborough system: "Theophilis Thistle, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. See if thou, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb. Success to the successful thistle-sifter."—Interborough Bulletin. An Encouraging Sign. "I think mother favors you," said she, timidly. "That so?" asked he. "Has she said so?" "No, but I'm almost sure of it. The other night when you stayed so late she never said a word about it." TURNING TO STONE Farmer's Trouble Started With Stiff Neck 16 Years Ago. With Exception of His Eyes, His Tongue and Arms From Elbow Down, He Is One Huge Piece of Bone. Frank Worden of Colfax, Ia., will give $1,000 to any surgeon in the United States who will break his back with anything short of a sledge hammer. Worden was in Omaha a short time ago and was seen by a number of physicians, but when he left the city he carried his thousand dollars with him. Worden is an ossified man—the only real one in the country. He is also a farmer and lives near Colfax, Ia. With the exception of his eyes, his tongue and his arms from the elbow down, he is one huge piece of bone, without a joint or a hinge of any kind. His body is as hard as stone, and as rigid as a piece of steel. Except as noted, he cannot move a single muscle of his entire body. All day and all night he lies straight and stiff, motionless. He can not laugh; he can not even smile. Eighteen years ago Worden was a farmer living near Colfax. One morning he awoke with a stiff neck. There was no pain, but he could not move his head as freely as had been his custom. He paid no attention to it at first. But the affliction grew worse, and he finally consulted the family physician. "Just a little stiffness," said the doctor. "That'll soon wear off." But the stiffness did not pass away. And Worden went back to the doctor. And this time the doctor found something that puzzled him. While making his examination, he discovered that Worden had lost practically all feeling in the neck. And then he called in another doctor. The second physician was also puzzled. "Looks like this fellow is turning into a big bone," said the new doctor. And then they discovered that, in fact, Worden was actually turning to bone. His flesh tissues were hardening. Other physicians and surgeons were called in, but they were never able to stop the ravages of the peculiar malady. When Worden felt his jaws becoming set, he placed small wedges of wood between his teeth, and in that position the lower portion of his face became rigid. In time the wedges were removed and the teeth were lt about half an inch apart. Through this aperture he is fed liquid foods. He cannot now masticate, but he can swallow liquids of any kind that are put into his mouth. Gradually the hardening went downward, affecting his body, his limbs and then his feet. Eight years after the morning when he discovered his stiff neck Worden's feet and ankles were as rigid as those of a stone image. Years before that time his legs had succumbed to the strange disease, and it was as impossible to use his hip joints, as it would be for a wooden Indian to walk. By this time, also, the arms were perfectly rigid, except at the elbow. The wrists, fingers and forearm are all pliable, although Worden says he can feel that his hands are getting a little bit heavier than they were formerly. This indicates, he says, that these members have at last become affected. Surgeons say there is no regular circulation of the blood through Worden's body, but that this flow has degenerated into simply a seepage. In time it will cease altogether. Worden lies on his back. If the time, and he does not get weary. His body is not sore from its contact with the bed. There are no "bed sores," as is often the case with chronic bed-ridden invalids. Doctor's Prescription. In the Woman's Home Companion appears a story in which is related an account of a prescription given to an exceedingly stingy farmer by a doctor. The farmer took the prescription to the druggist. The druggist told the farmer that he could not fill the prescription, and said to the farmer: "If you will read it yourself you will see why." Whereupon the farmer adjusted his glasses and read, to his onishment: "One hired girl, to be taken as soon as you can get her, and kept constantly on hand thereafter. A few new dresses that the wives of your hired men wouldn't be ashamed to wear, and a new hat and wrap to replace those you bought her last—thirteen years ago. All to be tinctured with at least as much daily consideration as you bestow upon your cattle." Rothschilds Help a Composer. Rothschilds is a museum. A curious story is told as to how the Rothschilds supported Carafa, the composer. The latter was far from rich. His principal income was derived from a snuff box. And this was the way of it. The snuff box was given to the author of "La Prison d'Edimbourg" about 30 years ago by Baron James de Rothschild as a token of esteem. Carafa sold it 24 hours later for 75 napoleons to the same jeweler from whom it had been bought. This became known to Rothschild, who gave it again to the musician in the following year. The next day it returned to the jeweler's. This traffic continued till the death of the banker, and longer still, for his sons kept up the tradition, to the great satisfaction of Carafa.—From the Argonaut. TURKEY ACCEPTS PEACE PROPOSAL GRAND COUNCIL HEEDS ADVICE OF EUROPEAN POWERS TO CEASE WARFARE. GIVES UP ADRIANOPLE FATE OF AEGEAN ISLANDS LEFT IN HANDS OF EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS. Constantinople.—The Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire voted in favor of accepting the proposal put forward by the European powers to bring about the conclusion of peace. Adrianople, her ancient capital, and regarded by the Moslems as a holy city, will be surrendered to the allies, and the question of the future of the Egean Islands will be submitted to the powers for final adjudication. The note handed to the Porte on January 17th by the European ambassadors at Constantinople called the Ottoman government's attention "to the grave responsibility it would assume if by resistance to their counsels it should prevent the re-establishment of peace. It would only have itself to blame if the prolongation of the war had as a consequence to put in question the fate of the capital and perhaps to extend hostilities to the Asiatic provinces of the empire." The document continued that "in that case the Turkish government could not count upon the success of the efforts of the powers to preserve it from the dangers against which they had already warned it and which they once more warned it to avoid." The powers then called the attention of the Ottoman government to the fact that after the conclusion of peace it would have need of the moral and material support of the powers to repair the evils of war, to conciliate its position at Constantinople and divest its Aslatic territories. The note pointed out that the Turkish government could count on the efficiency of the benevolent support of the powers only so long as it deferred to their counsel, inspired by the general interests of Europe and Turkey. The powers then advised Turkey to consent to the cession of Adrianople and to leave to them the fate of the Egean Islands. F. J. SHEPA. WEDS MISS GOULD. Married at Lyndhurst, the Bride's Country Estate. Tarrytown, N. Y.—Miss Helen Miller Gould was married at Lyndhurst, her country estate, to Joy Johnson Shepard, an Ameri alroad man who has risen from the ranks. The bride went to an altar hidden by roses, azapagus focus and palms, on the arm of her brother, George J. Gould, who gave her away in marriage. An orchestra screened by masses of flowers in the music room played the "Lohengrin Wedding March," while the Rev. Daniel D. Russell, pastor of the Irvington Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony. Helen and Dorothy Gould, nieces of Miss Gould, stood with her. Garbed in pale pink satin, they acted as flower girls and were her only attendants. The couple stood during the ceremony beneath a bower of American Beauty roses with festoons of gray-white asparagus reaching almost to the ground. The bride carried a modest bouquet of illies of the valley, her favorite flower. Arrest Four Men for Gold Theft: Leadville, Colo.—Arrests of four fugitive miners in New York have revealed one of the most stupendous "high-grading" conspiracies in Colorado's history. The fugitives carried $50,000 in nuggets, gold dust and bars. Fully $100,000 more is believed to be hidden in the men's trunks. Wyoming House Passes First Bill. Cheyenne, Wyo.—The House passed its first bill, the emergency appropriations measure, carrying $80,000. The bill was put through under suspension of the rules and by unanimous consent.

The sentence imposed was nine months in the county jail. German Farine Minister Dies.

HOWS AND MUSIC D HAVE A GOOD LAUGH VERY TUESDAY Cash or Credit M KIMONO SLEEVE STILL USED | NEWEST AFTERNOON TEA FAD Just how long a time will elapse before fur-bearing animals are wiped off the face of the earth is a pertinent question. For furs are becoming more and more luxurious, more and more extravagantly used, with the recurrence of winter. There seems no limit to the demand. Great results are accomplished with moleskin, squirrel and above all muskrat. The prolific rabbit supplies many a pelt which is changed by the furrier into something new and strange past all recognition. Luxurious coats and furs from French establishments are pictured here. Above everything else women appear to love the luxury of rich furs. They are alluringly beautiful and so Style Which Has Much to Recommend It Has Not by Any Means Lost Its Popularity. The very newest evening gowns show the kimono sleeve more often than not. On heavier gowns there is usually an armhole, even though low in cut, but for lace and chiffon and all the sheer materials the kimono cut is still considered most graceful. In the silk gowns the sleeve is set in sometimes with a tiny frill or with cord or a bit of insertion. The armhole may be large or small, round or oval, or square cornered. With these fancy arrangements of the armhole the shoulders is always long. Sometimes the sleeve comes from an inside guipme and is not attached at all to the waist itself. There are many charming variations on this idea. Dinner gowns are made, in some instances, with a square opening at the neck in front and high at the back. This sounds old-fashioned, but it is quite new, nevertheless. The cut of the neck is often square this year, and many models will be seen with the square back as well; but one must be assured of good shoulders first—for it is a trying shape. The trains are mostly pointed and trail after one in a negligent sort of fashion, as if not fully determine which direction to follow. Amber in Vogue. Amber jewelry is in vogue this winter, owing to the fact that touches of amber shaded materials have appeared on many of the smart gowns. Amber buckles, necklaces, bracelets and earrings are being sold at novelty shops and new uses are being devised for old amber ornaments. Odd beads can be converted into long earrings and the proverbial amber cross can be worn on a narrow black ribbon or at the end of a gold chain. Amber combs, once popular, are among the novelties shown at one exclusive shop. The long strings of beads, if of the small variety, are suggested for lorgnettes. But no matter what the amber trinkets happen to be, they just can be put to good use and give just the smart note of color that fashion decrees must appear somewhere about the costume. Checks and Plaids A very noticeable feature with all model coats direct from Paris is the smallness of the revers and in many instances their entire absence. Pleated skirts are generally in evidence, even when made of thick materials, and with robes for day or evening wear composed of soft volle and suchlike fabrics we find the old accordion pleating very popular. Large checks and plaids, somewhat startling in character, are now making their appearance, but these, when lended with plain colors, make decidedly distinguished looking costumes. They can, however, only be successfully worn by tall women possessing slender figures, otherwise the wearer will attract attention without commanding admiration. comfortable! They are constantly advancing in price. Really good furs, therefore, if well cared for, will prove a good investment. There is nothing which is quite so cleverly imitated (unless it is precious stones) as furs. Besides the furlers the manufacturers of plushes have made imitations of fur in plush that will make one look closely twice to be sure they are not the real thing. They are much worn by fashionable people and are made up as elaborately as real furs. When bought ready made they must be conceded to be expensive. They may be made at home with a modest expenditure of money and time. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Ingenious Girl Devised Something That really Seems to Fill a Want That Has Long Been Felt. The young mistress of a kitchenette apartment is in the habit of giving a small weekly afternoon tea. Recently at one of them her friends exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the tea table. In place of the copper kettle and Japanase teapot there stood, solemn, but not ungainly, two decorative bottles wreathed in flowers. "Yes," said the hostess, in answer to her guests' inquiring looks. "There is tea with tea leaves of course in one and hot boiling water in the other. It seemed to me that I always had to put in more alcohol in the lamp at the very moment when I was listening to the most interesting bit of gossip. "Then you remember how that careless Carrie, gesticulating as she always does when she tells a story, sent a blue flickering flames from the alcohol lamp almost close to a lace frill. These bottles receive the tea and water at the required temperature and keep them warm, I have learned to pour the contents out quite skilfully." "NARCISSUS." Dainty tea gown, in good quality crepe de chine, trimmed net and fine lace. Bodice lined silk. Simple Gown. A simple and girlish gown is made of soft white chiffon trimmed with garlands of green satin leaves, applied to the bodice and skirt in border fashion. These garlands outline the round neck of the bodice, the high waist line in the form of a girdle and the edge of a draped tunic where it is caught up with a green satin bow. The sleeves are also caught up with a satin bow. Black Waists. Black waists are sometimes worn with colored suits trimmed with black. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669.
