PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY A CHANCE TO WORK VOL. XIX. A CHAN The following editorial appeared in the Nashville Globe in the issue of January 31st:— A leading colored gentleman from our city was visiting in the North recently and in a city where a corporation conducts a mammoth plant the remark was made that large corporations had dispensed with all of the Negro janitors because they could not be relied upon. But during the conversation it was brought out that in the new order of things the management of that concern had made a rule that all promotions would in the future be made from the janitor force. It is in this plan that the Negroes had to be dispensed with. The management knew that they were not going to promote the Negroes above janitorships, and so they had to get rid of them. Being Yankees, they did not mind lying, so they said the Negroes would not work. We submit that some of them were unreliable, but to say that a force of one hundred eighty-six Negroes were all undesirable is a most fabulous statement. The American people have decreed that the Negro citizenship of the country must be hewers and drawers, but reason and justice have decreed to the contrary. The great struggle is on. The battle is being watched by the civilized world. The "Land of the Free" and the "Home of the Brave," and yet a country where a class of the citizens must all do the menial labor. Designated as a race in a nation, to be the drudgery of the other races that make up that nation. The plan does not harmonize with the civilization of the country, and yet every effort is being put forth to make it work. The chance to earn an honest living should be given to every man, and every man should be given a chance to develop the best talents in him. It is unreasonable to expect that Negroes will do their best when they know the door of opportunity is closed to them. When any man knows he has reached the highest station he will be allowed to attain, his ambition dies. He has no aspiration because he knows it to be idle folly. And this nation will always have a burden so long as the Negro is denied the chance to work at any trade he can master; and he will always believe he can master anything until he shall have had a chance to try. ```markdown ``` OPPOSE SEGREGATION St. Louis, Mo., Feb 1.—A committee of five white persons and five Negroes appointed by the St. Louis League to investigate the housing of Negroes, has issued a atstement protesting against a proposed ordinance segregating the Negroes of St. Louis. A bill to the effect is pending in the municipal assembly. in part: Our committee is unanimously of the opinion that the problem of the relation of white people and Negroes cannot be solved by crystalizing prejudices into legislation. The proposed law frequently would prevent Negroes from improving their condition by moving into better neighborhoods. We cannot believe that any broad-minded American can regard the legal segregation of races as American of Christian. The committee adds that the proposed law is unconstitutional. TO KEEP COLORED HELP Troy, N. Y., Jan. 29.—The colored waiters who were substituted a short time ago at the Rensselaer Hotel for white help are doing nicely. The only hitch with reference to the service was in the kitchen. However, the crew in the culinary department is now giving satisfaction. Daniel Tresvan is now chief cook. During a speech at a banquet given by the Troy Trust Company a few days ago Manager McGlynn stated that he had supplanted white waiters with colored men and cooks, and that he intended to employ colored help from now on; that even if the present crew did not give satisfaction he would replace it with another crew composed of Negroes. About fifty waiters are employed at the Rensselaer. NEGRO CIVIC CENTER The colored people of Nashville, Tennessee, are interested in building a Negro civic center. This will be placed in the northwest section of the city, near Fisk University. It is desired that the Y. M. C. A., the Carnegie Library and other important Negro institutions be placed here. The proposition to raise $100,000 for this has been set in motion. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State Houses HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO A $40,000 PLAYHOUSE AT SAVANNAH, GA. What promises to be one of the finest playhouses in this country operated in the interest of colored people will open its doors about March 1 at Savannah, Ga. This new theatrical proposition is owned by the Savannah Picture Plays Company of that city. The sum of $40,000 is being put in the construction, meaning every convenience and beauty accordingly. A first-class playhouse is the object of those interested, and everything possible is being done towards that end. A seating capacity of eleven hundred will speak of its splendid dimentions. This includes a balcony, that feature so seldom seen in playhouses for colored people. It goes without saying that this will add to the theatrical appearance of the house, as well as a convenience for seating the patrons. A four-piece orchestra will do the music, thus insuring something good and attractive along this line. Music has become a very essential part of theaters in this day, when acts are made while you wait. The Star will have an orchestra that will be equal to every emergency. The manager was formerly manager of the Star theater of Augusta, Ga. THE NEGRO AND THE LAND (From the Boston Globe.) That the Negro is emancipating himself by becoming a landowner, is the view of an anonymous Southern journalist, who says that millions of acres of the best cotton lands are passing into the hands of Negroes. The white man who hires his labor canyot raise cotton successfully in competition with the Negro who does his own work. Each year a larger proportion of the cotton crop is raised by the Negro, and more and more of it on land to which he holds title. The Negro is land-hungry. Despite the fact that he is compelled to pay exorbitant prices for every acre, and on account of his lack of capital has to carry a heavy mortgage at 8 per cent. he goes on buying small farms. Somehow he gets along, manages to pay off the mortgage, educate his children, become a substantial citizen and gain the respect of his white neighbors. He worries little about the election laws. He may not have reasoned it all out for himself, but he knows that the South can never be really prosperous until the Negroes are—a fact that most politicians fail to realize. This applies, of course, mainly to the rural and not to the urban Negro in the South. Many Negroes in Southern cities are a melancholy lot. The Negro farmer is a different type, and if the wise efforts of Dr. Booker T. Washington and others to get the colored man back to the land are successful there will be no Negro problem. NEGRO TO BE- COME EXTINCT New Orleans, La., Jan. 28.—Prof. William Benjamin Smith, a noted educator and professor of philosophy at Tulane University, has occasioned comment in the South by declaring that the Negro in this country will be extinct in 220 years, and that the last of the race will be a colored woman in the South. These deductions have been made by Prof. Smith after studying the United States census report for Louisiana, recently issued from Washington. "That report," said Prof. Smith, "shows that among the whites of this state the males are gaining in proportion over females in birth—a sure indication of the yiruleacy and increasing stamina of the whites. But the same report shows also that among the Negroes the females are gaining in number. Reports of other states confirm this retrogression. "If the race were in the ascendency of male births would, at least, retain an equal proportion. There can be no other conclusion than that the old law of the survival of the fitiest is coming into its inexorable sway in the state and the United States at large. The Negro has come to the last two centuries of his being here Slowly, but surely, his race will dwindle in males until there are less than one-tenth the number of men compared with women. "Finally, if the law works out to its logical conclusion, there will be but one Negro woman left in the United States. With her death we will say about 2132 A. D., there will be no more of the race left in the United State." "And that," continued Prof. Smith, "will be one of the most salutary race extinctions that have ever occured in any country in any time. I have nothing against the Negro personally. But it has been nature's law from the creation that the weaker and the more useless of the animals of the world must be sacrificed to make way for the development and the advance of the stronger. There is no law of nature that is more surely working out than is that of the 'survival' as applied to the Negro in the United States." RACE NEWS Mr. John A. Echols, who has been employed as butcher for Armour & Co., for the last eight years, has resigned to accept a position with Uncle Sam as meat inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Forth Worth, Texas. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22—Mrs. Fannie Jackson Coppin, wife of Bishop Levi J. Coppin, and for many years principal of the old Institute for Colored Youth, died here late last night. She was born in Washington, and was graduated from Oberlin College a half century ago. The white women of I. Ky., did not favor a record to separate the white and people on the street cars city. One of the petitions circulated for that purpose composed of the leading men of Louisville. By a vote they refused to sign action was taken after dresses had been made. They took the groove such a change would be and therefore a violation name of their organization it would be unjust to t The Board of Health of chivalrous Tennessee has peremptorily refused to examine colored nurses in that State, thereby preventing their employment. The law in that State requires that a trained nurse shall be examined before entering upon the work of a sick nurse. The Board refused to examine them because they were Negroes. The governor has recommended to the legislature a law which will compel the Board to examine colored applicants. Father Plantvigne is reported dead. Funeral was held Wednesday, Jan. 29, 1913 at Baltimore. Father Plantvigne was ordained a Roman Catholic Priest of the Epiphany Apostolic College. He was stationed in the Catholic diocese of His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore. Father Plantvigne visited St. Joseph's colored Catholic Church prior to the completion of Van De Vyver College. Chicago, Jan. 29.—Jesse Binga, a colored banker with offices at 3648 South State street, recently applied for membership in the Illinois Bankers, association, and the vote admitting him was unanimous. He became the first Negro member of the association. E. D. Durham presented Binga's name and made a speech in his favor. No effort was made to conceal the fact that the applicant was a Negro and no one raised the color question. "There was nothing unusual in the action," said Richard Crampton, secretary of the association, today. "There are several Negroes who belong to the National Association of Bankers, and I have never heard that any banker was rejected because of his color. So far as I know it is the first time a Negro ever applied for membership in our organization. There was no discussion of the race question." NO 22 The white women of Louisville, Ky., did not favor a recent effort to separate the white and colored people on the street cars of that city. One of the petitions being circulated for that purpose, reached the Parkland Civic League, composed of the leading white women of Louisville. By a decisive vote they refused to sign it. This action was taken after several addresses had been made by members. They took the ground that such a change would be uncivic and therefore a violation of the name of their organization; that it would be unjust to the Negro portion of the population, and that the conduct of Negroes who went on their street cars was as genteel as that of the white people, and therefore they had no objection to riding with them. It is pleasing to note that the Negroes are waking up to a sense of the necessity of operating strong business institutions and taking an active part in the commercial life of the country. Therefore, we note that a new Negro bank has been opened at Mound Bayou, Miss., capitalized at $500,000, with $50,000 surplus. This should fill the hearts of every Negro with pride and each should lift up their voices in prayer with thanks to God for this new enterprise and earnestly pray that it will live and grow to be a giant in the business world. We would not close this article without expressing our desire to see the Negro clearance house put in operation, for we believe the good that it can do is unlimited. New York, Jan. 25.-- The Boston A. A. relay team won a sensational race at the Fordham University games in the 22d Regiment Armory tonight from the Irish-American A. C. Howard Drew, the Negro champion of Springfield, Mass., High School, ran away from a small but select field of sprinters in the 65 yard dash and equalled the world's indoor record made by Lawson Robertson in 1908. Drew's time was 7 seconds. Drew took the lead at the start and was never headed, and at the end he was nearly two yards in front of his field. Alvah Meyer, the little Irish-American A. C. champion, finished second, with Charlie Clark of the Xavier A. A. third. Drew won his heat in the handicap in fast time, but was defeated by a few inches in his semi final. The field was extraordinarily large. More than 50 prominent spri sters started in 12 trial heats. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD.

In the Texas Senate the House joint resolution to grant the right of suffrage to women was acted upon favorably as was the measure providing for popular election of United States senators. Whipping posts for white slave traffickers was the remedy for this evil proposed by Lieutenant Governor Barrett O'Hara of Illinois, as he entered upon is duties as presiding officer of the Senate. A bill was introduced in the Missouri Legislature prohibiting women from wearing dresses buttoning up the back unless the buttons be as large as a dollar. The bill provides for a fine of $1 to $3, with a jail sentence for persistent offenders. After a deliberation of five hours the jury in the $500,000 breach of promise to marry suit against Carl G.

Before he quits office, President Taft expects to send to the Senate the nominations of five more federal judges, making a total of 114 in his administration, a record unequaled, so far as available documents show, by any other President in four years. President Taft, who has come to be known as the dancing President, so persistent has been his patronage of balls and dances during his administration, attended the last big dancing function of his official career, the Southern Relief ball, at the New Willard. CONGRESSIONAL. After another ineffectual effort to force action on President Taft's nominations pending in the Senate, the Republicans decided to make no further move for the present.

The total is $200,000 below the official estimate and $180,000 above last year's appropriation. Loan sharks in the capital, credited with doing an enormous business with government clerks, received a blow when President Taft signed the "loan shark" bill, limiting their charges, and also those of pawnbrokers, to 1 per cent. a month. "Positively the only chance at the present time to have Fort Logan returned to the status of a military post of dignity and importance is to prevail upon the War Department to move the recruiting service from Fort Logan to Fort Russell, Cheyenne, and transfer a regiment of infantry from Fort Rusell to Denver," said Congressman Rucker. Direct taxes upon the income of citizens of the United States, whether derived from idle capital or from the conduct of business, were made possible by the ratification of the sixteenth amendment to the federal constitution. Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexico, indorsing the income tax amendment through their respective Legislatures, completed a list of thirty-eight states that have approved it, two more than the three-fourths necessary for its final adoption.

The expiration of the thirty-day limit for introduction of bills under the constitution resulted in the presentation at three sessions on the last day of more than 300 bills. A feature of the night session was the introduction of bills abolishing every salaried board and commission under the supervision of the state, and bills by every member of the House providing for appropriations of $10,000 each for road building. The general abolition of state boards and commissions was made on recommendation of the appropriations committee and is a step taken, according to many members, toward re-aportionment of employés at lower salaries and the reduction of staffs in the retrenchment policy advocated by Governor Ammons. The total of $650,000 asked in the appropriations of sixty-five members of the House for road building under provisions of their bills will be transferred from the internal improvement fund to the state highway commission.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The recent endowment which fell to the lot of Tuskegee Institute through the influence of Dr. Washington adds still another star to the increasing popularity of the famous school of which he is a founder and principal. The efforts of the distinguished Tuskegean are being abundantly rewarded by the beneficences of friends and well-wishers who have watched his upward career. There are noble men and women throughout the land who have done wonderful service in behalf of race upbuilding, but no single individual has ever wrought so mightily in promoting the progress of a people. Despite many drawbacks which have hampered the march of the negro, he has been wonderfully led along the line of material development to a degree of accomplishments as tend to arrest the attention of mankind. Great plans have been mapped out and many devices spoken of by means of which the problems which confront us might be readily solved, but a study of the situation will reveal the fact that only a few of them have been brought into effective execution. The wizard of Tuskegee has placed into successful operation a machinery, for human elevation, so vast in its magnitude and far-reaching in its usefulness, as almost to revolutionize the educational system of the country at large and wield a powerful influence upon those of other parts of the world. Criticisms severe in their utterances have been plentifully launched against the work which he created, but despite their severity and the flaws imputed to the operation of the system, nothing to supersede it has ever been produced and exhibited to the gaze of man. Booker T. Washington is the man of the hour. This is a practical age in which we live. Theorists may launch their speculations, but unless deeds support their theories, nothing can be accomplished in pursuit of race salvation. Idle dreams build fanciful castles and people them with happy souls, but when the bubble bursts the hollow cavity reveals nothing save the presence of air. The practical deer husband his forces, hurls them against obstacles which obstruct his passage, and removing them from his pathway, erect a monument of eternal glory to himself and great usefulness to his fellowman. Doctor Washington has built such a structure. He has dedicated to posterity an imperishable name; and after his departure will leave on record and in existence the most stupendous example of human skill. The recent donation of $60,000 for a number of years proves the faith of those who seek to encourage the work and lighten the financial burdens of that heroic man whom trials and tribulations could not overthrow in his efforts to make good his life's career. We honor the brave and true. We reverence the earnest performer of noble acts, and when time shall have produced more Washingtonts to lead the race to development along various lines, the future will open opportunities. We may talk of the best means of doing good, but after all, the greatest difficulty lies in doing it in the proper spirit; speaking the truth in love, in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, with the meekness and gentleness of Christ. Many anxious sinners have been known to drop the subject of religion in consequence of a speaker addressing them in an angry tone. For keeping food or dishes warm a Pennsylvania man has patented a cabinet to be fastened on top of a steam or hot water radiator. More wholesome advice than the following has never before been compressed in so small a space. We commend it to young men—we mean the working ones—everywhere. Don't watch the boss—watch yourself. Don't stand still—keep moving up. Move up—then get your hand on the next rung above. Keep ahead of your job—not behind it. Rest to recuperate—not to slack up. Believe in yourself—then the boss will believe in you. Be honest with yourself—then you will be honest with the boss. Work by the job—not by the clock. The old bachelor says a girl after a man's own heart is usually after some other fellow's. The enemies of Dr. Booker T. Washington may hound him as much as they please, but he is getting the money just the same. For five years a special gift of $60,000 is to be given him for his work at Tuskegee. Moreover, Mr. Washington pleads the cause of his people in an earnest, conservative, helpful manner, for which he should be applauded. Negro churches are supporting 200 home missionaries, and 100 missionary stations, and contributing $50,000 annually for foreign mission work. Our foreparents, though slaves, entered into the festivities of the festive season and got about as much enjoyment out of it as did the master. The principal amusement was singing, patting and dancing, and all to the accompaniment of the banjo, the king of instruments in the hands of the negro. And this is natural enough, since the banjo is said to be the invention of the negro. The rehearsal of this achievement in the verse of one of the dialect poets will fittingly close this sketch. The invention is said to have taken place while the ark was floating about on the world of water. Says our poet: "De ark she kept a-sailing an' sailing; De lion got his dander up, and like to broke de palin": D earseintps hissed; the panters yelled; till, what, wwd, all, de, fussin'. Now, Ham, de only nigger whut wuz runnin' on de packet, Got lonesome in de barber shop, an' couldn't stan' de racket; An' so, for to amuse himself, he steamed some wood and bent it. An' soon he had a banjo made—de fust dat was invented. He wet de leather, stretched it on; made springs and screws and aprin; An' fitted in a proper neck—'twas very long and tap'rin'; He took some tin and twisted him a thimble for to ring it; An' den de mighty question riz: How was he gwine to string it? De possum had as fine a tail as dis dat I'm a-singing. De hair's so long and thick and strong —jest fit fur banjo stringin'; Dat nigger shaved 'em off as short as Dat nigger shaved 'em off as short as wash-day dinner graces; An' sorted ob 'em by de size, from little E's to bases. He strung her, tuned her, struck a jig—'twas "Nebber Mind de Wedder," She soun' like forty-lebben bands aplaying all together. Some went to pattin', some to dancin', Noah called de figgers. And Ham he sot and knocked de tune, de happies' ob niggers. Now sence dat time—it's mighty strange—dar's not de slightest showin' Ob any ha'r at all upon de 'possum's tall a-growing; An' curl's, too, dat nigger's ways: his people nebber los' em. Fur what you fin' de nigger—dar's de banjo and de possum!" During the recent hurricane in the West Indies a young Jamaican boy and his pet dog were blown one hundred miles out to sea and landed on a small island, from which they were rescued recently by the crew of a passing ship. Both dog and boy were hungry, but otherwise were none the worse for their unexamined experience. Both had certainly been "moving some." Let the negro learn to do and act for himself and not depend entirely on others. We must show an impulse of commercial activity and endeavor to excite a spirit of industry among ourselves and with enterprising genius raise our standard to the highest rank among commercial nations. There are negroes in Kansas City who openly boast of their indifference towards the business efforts of their own race, the drug stores, grocery stores, shoe stores and theaters, yet these same people expect the sympathy and support of the race in all their own enterprises. They never stop to consider how weak and groveling they are. They never pause to think how utterly despicable they are even in the eyes of those to whom they cater in preference to their own race. Shame on the knocker.—Kansas City Sun. The "knocker" and his kind will eventually discover that the negro who snubs the enterprises of his own race is cutting the limb on which he sits. But the most hopeful sign about this business is that thinking people everywhere are taking notice. All have their eyes on the "knocker" and his brother who vigorously supports race efforts with his mouth only. North Carolina should be given the blue ribbon—she has not had a lynching for 60 years. The example she has furnished should be followed by her sister states throughout the southland. Even the community that needs shaking up would draw the line at an earthquake. Our people should get a little more of this world's goods. Poverty is no sure and certain sign of religion or any of its attributes. Religion is intended to make people happy. The man, therefore, who gets a decent portion of this world's goods will realize some of heaven here and now. About the only time we believe in dreams is when they come true. STATE PAID TOTAL OF $176,427.04 FOR SEPTEMBER ELECTION. Figures Compiled by Secretary of State Pearce Submitted to Gov- ernor Ammons. Denver.—It cost a total of $176,427.04 to hold the primary election September 10th. The cost to Denver was $25,504. Secretary of State Pearce submitted to Governor Ammons a statement showing the cost by counties as follows: Who Sunk Cabin 50 Feet in Earth? Meeker—While drilling for water on his Axial Basin ranch, J. M. Hulett, a cattleman who owns practically all of the Axial Basin country, struck, at a depth of fifty feet, what had evidently been a log cabin at one time. Portions of cottonwood logs were raised with scraps of glass, etc. The latter had evidently formed a portion of the structure's window panes. Bonces to the depth of 100 feet have frequently been unearthed in this country, but a find of this nature is more than remarkable. Axial Basin is all wash country, and it is evident that at one time, perhaps hundreds of years ago, the surface of the basin was just fifty feet lower than it is at present. In addition to the finding of the cabin, the drills also came in contact with what had evidently been a lake of considerable size. Old Church Building Sold. La Junta.—Prices on houses of worship have dropped considerably in this city. Dr. F. M. White purchased the old Methodist church here for $300. It was a matter of speculation and he intends selling the thousands of feet of lumber and brick for at lease three times the amount he paid for it. A force of men is wrecking the building and, under contract, the building must be removed within ten days. After the church is razed and removed the Santa Fe railroad will start work on its new $80,000 office building on the old church site. Finds Husband Wedded to Another. Trinidad.—After four years of drudgery in Italy, during which time she saved sufficient money to come here and join her husband, Mrs. S. Cascarelli learned upon her arrival that her husband, Mike Cascarelli, of Segundo, was living with another woman, who says she married him in this city July 16, 1910. As a result, wife No. 1 had her husband arrested on a charge of bigamy. Richard Wallace, Rancher, Stabbed. Richard Wallace, Rancher, Stabbed. Cripple Creek, Colo.-Richard Wallace, about sixty-five years old, a rancher, and a pioneer of Teller county, living five miles south of Edlow, half way between Divide and Woodland Park, on the Colorado Midland railroad, was found dead with two knife wounds in the heart. Will Buy Water Rights. Fort Lupton. -Plans for the purchase of the water rights of the J. Thomas ditch, valued at $60,000, were made at the annual meeting of the Fulton Ditch Company. It is expected that the deal will be completed February 15. Man Killed in Runaway. Grand Junction.—F. J. Held, a Plateau valley rancher living south of Molina, was killed in a runaway in which the load of hay upon which he was riding crashed down an embankment on the public road a half mile east of Palisade. Band of Elk Goes Through Steamboat. Steamboat Springs.—A band of about thirty elk, driven down from the mountains because of cold, crossed through Steamboat Springs to reach food and water. Seldomridge Urges City Ownership. Colorado Springs. — Congressman-elect H. H. Seldomridge, in a public address, went on record for municipal ownership of the electric light and street railway systems in Colorado. Milliken Bank Building Burns. Milliken.—One man, two women and a girl barely escaped being burned alive when fire destroyed the bank building, a two-story brick structure located in the heart of the business section, causing a loss of $35,000. Coal Miner Stabbed by Roommate. Coal Miner Stabbed by Roommate.

The Rio Blanco County Pioneers' Association will give its second annual reunion in Meeker, February 12. United States Senator Shafroth and Governor Ammons addressed a joint meeting of the House and Senate on "Conservation." Len Hall, aged sixty-five formerly sheriff and commissioner in Park county, died suddenly of paralysis at his ranch near Fairplay. Howard Ross, charged with the murder of his stepfather was arraigned in the District Court at Brighton and entered a plea of not guilty. Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Green Lewis, formerly of Greeley, but who removed to Waycross, Ga., some months ago. Telephone lines were strung between Dover and Nunn on the south, and Carr on the north. This district will have several telephones installed at once. Word was received in Denver that several women's clubs of Cincinnati have joined in a movement to raise funds for the Sarah Platt Decker endowment fund. John G. Troddinnick, formerly a wealthy broker of Duluth, Minn., was arrested in Denver upon advices from Duluth. He is charged with embezzling $40,000. Walter Dixon, of Fort Collins, a resident of Colorado for forty-three years, is dead. He was 74 years old and death resulted from a paralytic stroke suffered two years ago. Before a joint session of the Legislature, Governor Elias M. Ammons denounced as "damnable" the Pinchot conservation policy as now enforced in the western states of the Union. The oldest postmaster in the United States from the standpoint of service is thought to be William H. Ordway, a resident of Dolores, Colo., and postmaster of that city, in Montezuma county. By a vote of 16 to 16, the Senate defeated on second reading a bill designed to prevent discrimination against soldiers and sailors in uniform at restaurants, theaters and other places of amusement. Three new men have been employed as a patrol wagon crew by Chief O'Neill of Denver. This will inaugurate an eight-hour shift. Harry Steiger, George Kayler and John Hendricks are the new men. When arraigned on a charge of murder at Brighton, before Judge Harry Class of the District Court, Patrick Code, who, with F. L. Smith, confessed that he killed Detective Jesse Stingley, pleaded not guilty. Julius Help of Fort Lupton, a member of one of the best known families of that district, was thrown over an embankment and killed at Malina, according to advices received by his sister, Mrs. B. F. Twombley. Shot accidentally by Lee Francis, a boy of his own age, Walter Riddle aged 13, son of J. F. Riddle, is lying at the Greeley hospital with a probably fatal bullet wound through his hip and back. As the Francis boy was climbing through a fence with a gun the trigger caught, the gun was discharged and young Riddle was wounded. Mrs. John 'W. Springer, divorced wife of Colonel John W. Springer, and the central figure in the Henwood came, is now in Ottumwa, Iowa, and will come back to Denever as a witness in the second trial of Frank Harold Henwood, who has been granted a rehearing by the Supreme Court. This was the statement made by District Attorney John Rush. Plans outlined by the Commercial Club at Johnstown indicate that that town will be the garden spot of northern Colorado. A scheme has been outlined to remove all the cottonwood trees and other undesirable forms of vegetation and provide free trees to property owners of varieties that are best adapted to that section and which will conform to a general beauty scheme. Governor Ammons added $5,000 to the state's revenue and took the first decisive step in his announced policy of reorganizing the various state departments and institutions and placing them on a business basis, by notifying Claude E. Street that if he wishes to continue as state oil inspector he must do so on a basis of $1,600 per year salary and not on the fee basis which now gives the inspector nearly $1,000 per month. A. F. Vicroy, assistant superintendent of the Union Pacific, has promised that work will be begun on a new union depot for Fort Lupton July 1. The structure now doing service was donated to the Union Pacific in 1865. Members of the Baptist church of Greeley who pass a portion of the heated term in Estes Park, will build a church of their own adjacent to their summer one.

The city and county of Denver never stood in greater need than now of having among its political leaders men of lofty ideals, which they try to live up to, and not merely to talk about, LINCOLN’S ANNIVERSARY. The anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, will be fit- tingly remembered throughout the land next Wednesday. In many states his birthday is a legal holiday, In others, business houses and public build- ings are closed in commemoration of his birth. In the public schools and colleges: Lincoln's character and achievements are celebrated in essays, ora- tions, song and story, As the years pass, Lincoln's greatness and grandeur grows upon the public mind and impresses itself upon the heart and life of the nation, Patriotic societies and Grand Army organizations are partic- ularly zealous in Lincoln Day celebrations. He is the most beloved man before the public eye. All of the colored people of the United States feel an ever increasing debt of gratitude to this noble and unselfish commoner. i HIGH IDEALS. “You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears,” so can you judge a man by his ideals. No man is higher than his ideals—thus if a man has high, lofty ideals you will find a man of worth, integrity thrift and push, because his ideals are high, But a man who idealizes the low, mean and degrading things is sure to be an image of his ideals. It fs said fo be a scientific truth that man lives by lis ideals—by placing his whole mind, his whole being in and on some idea or ideals and strives to accomplish or follow his ideal. Man, by nature, is “prone to err.” ‘Thus it is more easy for man to be- come wedded to erring ideas or ideals than it is for him to grasp hold of the lofty and more elevating ideas. For this reason it is incumbent on the strong to set proper ideas for the guidance of the weak, that they may lose sight of the lower ideas and place their mind on higher things. Father and mother, preacher and teachers all owe it to themselves to keen the mind of the young on those ideas which will give them grander and more Doble ideals in ite. WHERE AND WHAT TO LEARN. ‘The fact remains that man is a learner, He was born to know and to know is the highest end of his existence, but what to know and where to learn it will always be an important factor in his acquisition of knowledge. Good books, good magazines and good newspapers are in abundance these days, are so cheap that everybody can possess them, and gain the ripest and best knowledge obtainable at the smallest cost. Instead of doing this, many of our people seem to think and act as thought the street corners, barber shops and other public places were the only universities in existence and that gossip and street talk the only information worth having. Many of our so-called good people do not take a newspaper in their home, but de- pend upon street lore to guide them in all their conversation and informa. tion, forgetting that this kind of knowledge is almost worse than trash an¢ is often nothing more than mere opinion and conjecture until it is run through the seive of broad-minded men and the press and there shorn of its execres. ences and fiction and reduced to solid facts. People who like florid, undigested, yellow gossip will be satisfied with this kind of information, but those who want clean, clear and solid fact: will not care to take it from the street corners and curbstone sociologists ‘They will take a good, reliable newspaper and read the news and result: of public opinion as set forth in the light of clear and logical reasoning anc careful investigation. It will save you time and worry and money to rea a good newspaper_and you will have more reliable information in the end; therefore, take a paper and pay for it and be independent of sidewalk ani backyard gossip. i Finest Cron of All_ Ri 1 totan tage Cte “No country, after all, produces any better crop than its inhabitants. And as I travel onward I like to think of these brave, temperate, industrious, God-friendly American people. Ihave no fear of the country while so many of them are still to be found upon the farms’ and in the towns of this Jand.”—American Magazine. , When you call the average young man honest he {s likely to feel a mild sort of gratification. When you call him competent his chest begins to bulge. When you call him a heart- breaker he slaps you on the shoulder and gives you to understand that he considers you a person of remarkable perception and unerring judgment, Sizing Him Uc. the so-called “suggestive” garments. To me it seems almost incredible that ordinarily decent, respectable, God-fearing men should have the hardi- hood to denounce all women who wear such skirts as wantons, when surely everybody knows that multitudes of as good and modest women as can be found anywhere use these tight-fightting garments. Women’s overgrown baby skirts were far more suggestive to weak, prurient minded men than the modern tight-fitting skirt. But they were not denounced in any brutal or ferocious manner. Why? . Not because they were considered more free from suggestion than the modern skirt, but because they gave-no indication that woman intended to free herself from male tutelage. That is the suggestion in the tight-fitting skirt which so terribly scandalizes woman in the eye of her master. The clumsy, cumbersome, ungainly skirts worn by woman in the past gave man a tremendous phys- ical and psychological advantage over her. So long as she wore such garments he need not fear losing his mas- tery over her, and he might humor her by granting her education, access to industries and professions and even limited powers of voting. But when woman sets to work to revolutionize her dress, as she now is doing, then he knows that she is, indeed, earnest to break all her immemorial bonds of servitude. No wonder he cries, in the name of outraged moral- ity: “Beware !” Well, whatever is to come, of one thing we may be sure—the modern American woman has outgrown her swaddling clothes and will never put them on again, And that means that bodily she intends to become as free as man. In due time after she has taught man a much-needed lesson in the ‘rudiments of self-sontrol, respect for woman and in true morality, she will devise a garment gracefully suitable to her form, which will leave all her bodily organs and movements free and unimpeded, as the Creator intended they should be. to monopolize the conversation, and then the point is so often for- gotten, which makes for a painful atmosphere hard to change. Rarely if ever, talk about yourself and your own affairs, To be sure, this com- mand would render a great many women dumb, but the world would lose little! ‘The most personal experiences are often discussed with all-but-strang- ers; one woman was ashamed to acknowledge that she had her appendix, after every other one in a group had graphically described her experi- ence with this member and its removal. Talking for one’s own pleasure is a selfish pastime with some people, and talking to break silences, which are painful to little minds, sometimes drives the spirit away just as it is hovering. We do not think enough and we do not meditate at all. The old saints had this art, and their fruitful lives, purposeful, prac- tical and loving, have been for ages examples of little talking and much good thinking, with character and poise as the result of both. season because of the homesickness it brings to them—men and women whose only home now is one room and who have to depend upon the board- ing heuse or restaurant for their meals, and, in many cases, the table talk of these boarding houses is all the social pleasure they have. I have known of both men and women who have had to spend these days in awful loneliness and whose hearts ached as only those who have experienced such utter loneliness ean appreciate. _The majority of those who have homes have “company” on the holi- days, it is true, but in most cases their “company” consists of those who have homes of their own and who they know will be able to reciprocate in the same manner. - But I believe that there are those who, if they realized how much it would mean and how much pleasure it would give would invite some man or woman, without home and without friends to spend at least one of the holidays with them in their homes. If they know of none such themselves I am sure thatif they made inquiry among their friends they could find some one who would value it. extent unless they start at the root of the evil—drink. Intoxication is the cause of nine-tenths of the divorces, and if the churches would com- bine to fight down the liquor traffic they would be doing a world-wide good instead of attempting to force one who is unfortunate enough to marry a drunkard to spend the remainder of her life in poverty and abuse. Such a course as they propose would not tend toward the betterment of society, but instead would force people to worse lives and to suicide. Let the churches start this work with their eyes wide open, so that they may make every stroke count. Hundreds of young men and young women, too, could be saved from utter ruin—caused directly through spirituous liquors—if the churches would orily combine and start at the bottom, instead of trying just to skim off a little bit at the top. When a girl has to tell how many men she might have married it’s a pretty good sign that she sees single blessedness for her lot and has to brag to keep her courage up. A man of ninety-two has just married a woman of fifty-two. There’ nothing half so sweet in life as love’s young dream. Unless more eattle are raised shoes will cost more.

A prominent: Englishman, comment- ing on us and our institutions, saye that the food provided in the large hotels is as good as can be expected outside of a small restaurant, It 1s a criticism that has more tm it than seems, for it most of us were offered the choice of a meal at a large hotel or a small restavrant would we not take the large hotel? Yet the right kind of small restaurant would in all probability furnish us with a more palatable meal. For in the right Xdnd of small restaurant one gets per- fonal cookery. And delightful indi- widuallty in cooking is as much to ‘De desired as in anything else. All the places that are famous for their cook- are famous because of some pers Scnaitty. ‘They become known through (their chef. They are spoken of as (Oscar's, or Josof's, or Mme. Gruyere's. ia the personality of Oscar, or Jo- t, or madame that is the sauce iquante of the cookery there. | | It ts this lack of personal cookery; fat soaker the food offered in some yrestaurants and boarding houses so ‘tasteless. It is as insipid as a person pwithout any kind of individuality. In certain kinds of restaurants, from {Maine to California, roast lamb tastes jthe same, and coffee is the same |brown, insipid drink. The cook in these restaurants probably says “Lamb's lamb,” and salts and peppers {t mechanically, with her mind on something else, slams it into the oven, and thinks cookinig 1s beastly work anyway, and she’s going to get another Job. Whereas the cook who adds person- ality to her cooking studies her roast carefully, noting its weight and qual- ity, dusts with pepper and salt thoughtfully, to get just the right quantity, adds a bit of this herb, a hint of that spill, watches it assidu- ously, bastes it frequently and sends it to the table with joy, knowing It is juicy and tender and has a flavor all its own, She is putting herself into her work. She is expressing herself through her work, And isn’t this more worth while, just for one’s own sake, than to go expressionless? Some of us look upon cooking as menial and beneath us. And we % not care very much what kind of coo! ing we turn out. But if we are going to do it, why not put ourselves into it? Why not give it personality and pi- quancy? Why not let it become fa- mous in our circle, our village or our town? It is worth while to express our best selves in whatever medium we take up. BARBARA BOYD. Washing Vells. Few women have success in wash- ing white chiffon veils and scarfs, and attempt to clean them in various ways, but they can be washed successfully, and the method is very simple. Use water that 1s only tepid, not hot, add a pinch of borax to soften it, and then make a good suds with some good white soap, says the Ladies’ World. Let the chiffon soak in this for about fifteen or twenty minutes and then squeeze it gently with the hands until quite clean, but never wring or twist it. Rinse through several waters, add- ing just a suspicion of blueing to the last water. Lay smoothly on a towel or clean cloth and press between the layers with a moderately hot iron be- fore {t is quite dry. Very hot irons or hot water will yellow white chiffon, and then, too, a too hot iron is apt to stick and pull the chiffon out of shape. Guiting eke. When eggs are scarce and high, in making doughnuts, boil and mash a good-sized potato, beat it in with the sugar and make the doughnuts as us- ual without any eggs. They will keep moist and good, says the Pictorial Re- view. In making pumpkin or squash pies, in place of eggs roll crackers fine and use as much of them in bulk as you would of eggs. You could not tell the difference if you did not know it. When you want pudding for dinner and have no milk, try adding another egg and a few more raisins and use warm water in place of milk. Creole Sauce. Into a small Saucepan put one ta- blespoonful of butter, one tablespoon- ful of finely-chopped onton, the same ‘of green pepper, and cook slowly until ‘the butter is deep brown, but not | burned. Stand aside for five minutes; then add one tablespoonful of vinegar ‘and one tablespoonful of freshly-grated horseradish; simmer for three min- utes, add one teaspoonful of flour, stir until smooth; then gradually dilute with one cupful of concentrated toma- toes. Add salt and simmer five min- utes, For Children’s Lunch Basket. +o make sponge cookies for the children’s supper or lunch box, sift together in the mixing bowl one and one-half cupfuls of flour, two teaspoon- fuls baking powder, a quarter tea- spoonful of salt, and one cupful of sugar, Break two eggs into a cup and fill the cup with cream or rich milk.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Gurtis Strest C THE WORLD IS MINE. VALENTINE DAY LONG IN FAVOR Centuries Have Failed to Dim the Memory of the Good Old Saint. DISPUTE AS TO HIS IDENTITY At Least Two Bishops of Ancient Times Have Been Credited With the Honor of Being the Founder of the Day Consecrated to Cupid. T. VALENTINE of blessed memory, whose natal day falls upon the 14th of February, seems to be the saint of this particular season. His customs, which have survived the lapse of centuries, are associated in our minds with the sending of various amatory epistles, and the rather more agreeable gifts and presents, which are occasionally sent in the shape of flowers and candies by the young men and maidens, one to another. New York and New Yorkers still retain memories of the saint, who seems to have been like his associate, the good St. Nicholas, a patron saint of the Netherlands, and in this connection we, perhaps on account of our Dutch ancestry, celebrate his festival with a kettledrum, says the New York Times. Far back in the mists, of antiquity lies the origin of the custom of sending letters, or valentines, on the saint's day, while the original St. Valentine would appear to be gifted with as many lives as the proverbial cat, or reincarnations under the same title, for we find two bishops of the name, a Virgin martyr, and a Tyrolean saint, all of whom have authentic records of their lives and deaths preserved in history, and none of whom would seem to be in any way connected with the valentines of today. However, it is always possible to reconcile the two or three, and there is sufficient evidence to show that St. Valentine, a bishop of Rome, who died in 278 A. D., was born on the 14th of February, and he is so set down in the Roman and Anglican calendars. He was a martyr to his faith, and when cast into prison by his enemies he cured his keeper's daughter of blindness, for which miracle he was beaten with clubs and then beheaded, and his remains repose in the Church St. Praxades, at Rome, while a gate now known as the Porto Popolo was formerly called by the name of St. Valentine, or Porto Valentino. Another Valentine, also a Bishop, claims a share in the day, and his claim to saintship rests upon the cure of the son of Craton, the Rhetorician. His death was caused by choking on a fishbone, whether of his own choosing or administered by his enemies the legend does not state, but in Italy and Greece they pray to this saint to cure them from epilepsy. The St. Valentine of Tyrol, who seems to have been born a little later, and who died in the fourth century, has a church consecrated to his memory in South Tyrol, at Meran, where he is supposed to have preached Christianity to the heathen Lombards. In the legend he appears as a beautiful youth attired in the dress of a Roman soldier bearing a cross on his sword hilt, and coming over the mountains from Italy; entering Meran, in what is now known as Tyrol, he encounters the heathen priest of the temple, and after a long argument with him, he calls upon his gods to destroy the temple. The heathen and the priest are all struck dumb by his threats, and when with one blow he pushes down the pillars of the temple, like Samson, they rush forth in horror, expecting him to be destroyed under the falling walls. Instead of which St. Valentine kneels unhurt, with a seraphic look upon his face, while the wrath of their god is not shown by the fierce wind and tempest which they expect, and quantities of doves and birds alight upon the neighboring trees in peaceful flocks. St. Valentine immediately after this miracle marries the first heathen couple and performs the first marriage ceremony in Tyrol according to Christian rites, which would seem to associate him with at least two of the modern customs as the saint of lovers, and with the emblem of his doves and birds. Next to our rejection of Santa Claus the worst thing that the sophistication of time does for us is to destroy our interest in the other best dates in the calendar. If some of us strove to keep that interest alive we might know life better and live longer. One of these days is St. Valentine's, now near at hand. There was a time in life of most men and women of middle age today when the approach of February 14 meant a thrill. It was a day of sentiment and humor. To the very young it was an occasion for the exhibition of irresponsible and frequently cruel play in the dispatch of "comic"—and mostly coarse—valentines. Old maids and bachelors and other grownups of well known weaknesses and tender sensibilities suffered most, but even these could afford to forgive and ignore the thoughtless effrontery of children. The other and elaborate valentines, however, if sent anonymously, bore a mysterious, even celestial message. There are many thousands of women still living today who have some of these lacy colorful creations preserved in lavender. And why not? There is all too little of the tender and innocent expression of a distant and respectful regard for women to be noted among men just—now, and altogether too much of a bolder and degrading admiration— —now, and altogether too much of a bolder and degrading admiration. Philadelphia Press. THE VALENTINE BIRD C In the west of England there was one ancient custom that was extraordinarily singular. Early in the morning of St. Valentine's day young men, necessarily of the character that "deelights" in the strenuous life, started out together with a clap-net to-catch an owl and two sparrows in some neighboring barn. If they were successful in catching the birds and brought them to the village inn without injury and before the women folk had risen, they were rewarded with three pots of purl (whatever that is) by the inkeeper. They also enjoyed the privilege of demanding similar consideration at the hands of every householder in the neighborhood. The Valentine. CUPID'S ESPECIAL DAY IS THAT OF GOOD ST. VALENTINE. CUPID'S ESPECIAL DAY IS THAT OF GOOD ST. VALENTINE. CUSTOM, more potent than any other authority known to man, has decreed that on St. Valentine's day those of opposite sex shall exchange missives and epistles, either comic or sentimental, in which the foibles of the receiver or the love of the sender are set forth in prose, in verse and in emblematic picture. Now there is no custom without a reason, but the reason for this cannot be found in the life of the good saint who is made to indorse this custom with his name. "He wrote no love song! "No one rises to accuse him of casting sheep's eyes on any Roman maiden. He was a bishop or pope of Rome who stood steadfast to the faith during the Claudian persecutions, and for that faith was cast into jail, where he cured his keeper's daughter of blindness. Honi soit quul mal y pense! It is the pleasure of Cupid, blind himself, to bring upon his votaries a similar blindness, not to cure it. "Nor was there anything comic or sentimental in the fate of St. Valentine when the miracle was made known to the authorities. They first beat him with clubs and then headed him. What was left of him is preserved in the Church of St. Praxedes at Rome, where a gate, now known as the Porta del Popolo, was formerly named in his honor Porta Valentini, or Saint Valentine's gate," says William S. Walsh in his "Curiosities of Popular Customs." Bailey's English Dictionary (1721) under the subject of Valentines, says: "About this time of the year—February—the birds choose their mates, and probably thence came the custom of the young men and maidens choosing valentines for special loving friends on that day." Francis Douce (1807), discussing the same subject, says: "It was customary to put the names of young women into a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed and the Christian clergy, finding it difficult or impossible to extirpate, the pagan practice, gave it at least a religious aspect by substituting the names of particular salants for those of the women." "But see how strong is the old Adam in the hearts of the unregenerate;" comments Mr. Walsh. "Wanton youth was not satisfied to imitate these holy fathers and ballot for a ghostly partner in heaven. It longed for tangible flesh and blood here on earth—flesh and blood of that CUPID UP TO DATE delightful variety which has a spice of the devil in it and is known as woman. "In the latter part of the sixteenth century" (according to Rev. Albain Butler) "the church, in the person of St. Francis de Sales, once more stepped in to sanctify the rites of St. Valentine's day. St. Francis severely forbade the custom of valentines or giving boys in writing the name of girls to be admired and attended on by them, and to abolish it he changed it into giving billets with the names of certain saints for them to honor and imitate in a particular manner." But in the end the boys and the girls triumphed over the saint. Nay, the girls triumphed also over the boys, wresting from them their exclusive privilege of choosing mates. Last year an irate old maid who had been the recipient of a comic valentine which had stung her to the quick repaired to the factory, where it was made, with a rawhide and a limb of the law. She demanded the name of the person who had sent her the objectionable missive. In vain she was assured that the factory was the last place in the world to learn the name of the sender. When told that the factory sold comics by the hundred gross to jobbers who, in turn, sold to wholesalers, and then supplied the retailer dealer who vended to individual customers, she swore roundly. Many clever young people in society with artistic and literary ability write paint and otherwise decorate the valentines they send to favored ones. In some instances a part of the decoration consists of jewels, diamonds, pearls or other gems, and the intrinsic value of the bauble is thus enhanced. Valentine parties are still in popular favor, and those who have not the ability to write love-sonnets or design sentimental valentines frequently go to artist friends, and even to professional artists, and have private valentines made. At these parties each person exchanges valentines. French imported valentines run as high as $200 and $300, according to the richness of the lace and other trimmings, but these expensive missives are rarely kept in stock. MANY VENERABLE GUNS HISTORIC WEAPONS REMOVED TO NAVY DEPARTMENT BLDG. Some of Them After Centuries of Bloody Service Under Banners of Kings Now Point With Peaceful Prospect at Pennsylvania Ave. Many guns that have roared in war are arranged in the granite angles of the state, war and navy department building. Formerly these trophies were in battery on the north lawn of the sunken garden of the tri-department building, and by many persons this garden came to be called a gun park. The Spanish war re- the state war and navy department building. Formerly these trophies were in battery on the north lawn of the sunken garden of the tri-department building, and by many persons this garden came to be called a gun park. The Spanish war re-sulted in such additions to these relic cannon that the gun park formation was abandoned and the venerable weapons, recalling many red incidents of war, were planted around the base walls, on the stairways and in various angles of the outer walls of the big building. The most beautiful if not the most historic of these mementos of international tragedy are the big bronze guns that flank the foot of the north stairway at the main entrance. The guns are green-gray, deep covered with verdegris. They are chased with those embellishments which gunmakers do not now bestow upon their work. These guns, as was the olden custom, have names. Old guns had individuality. The east gun of the pain is La Farouche—wild, savage, severe, fierce. The office French dictionary gives "farouche" only as an adjective, but, anyhow, the name of this art-wrought example of ordinance is "The Fierce." The west gun is "Le Passe Partout," the Master Key, the key that would unlock a fortress or a ship's side and open a breach in the enemy's line. Le Farouche bears a circle of lilies in rear of the muzzle. The fleur-de-lis of the house of Bourbon is prominent in the ornamentation of the gun. Le Farouche bears the crown of France surmounting battle emblems—flags, drums, trumpets, sabers and cannon—and the coat of arms of France. Behind the trunions, where a modern gun would wear its jacket, is the face of a woman, probably Pallas, surrounded by the rays of a blazing sun. The gun is inscribed with the legend "Nec Pluribus Impar"—and no unequal match for many antagonists—which was the motto of King Louis XIV. The handles are dolphins of rare workmanship and the cascabel, or base of the breech, is the face of a lion, wildly leonine, with the butt of a thorned stake, or war club, protruding from his distended mouth. On the cascabel rim are the name of the founder, the place and the time* "Fondeur, John Maritz Douay, le 27 Juillet, 1748." Between the trunnions and the vertical vent is inscribed: "Louis Charles de Bourbon, Compte d'Eu, Duc d'Aumale." It also bears the motto "Ultimo Ratio Regum." The gun is, of course, a smooth bore, its caliber is six inches, its length eleven feet and four inches and its weight 5,780 pounds. To one of the dolphin handles is chained a bronze tag which tells that the beautiful peacemaker is a Spanish war trophy cast by Jean Maritz at Douay, July, 1748, and that it was taken from the fortifications of Santiago. It was received in Washington from New York arsenal May 27, 1909. Its mount is a small iron carriage. The west gun, or Le Passe Partout, is similar in model and differently, though just as elaborately and elegantly, ornamented. It bears the familiar circle of lily work on the chase in rear of the muzzle. Its name is inscribed upon it and also this: "Le Mareschal duc de Humieres." It bears the crown and coat of arms of France and a design in which battle emblems are artfully grouped. The handles are dolphins, and a woman's full face, with streaming hair, surrounded by the rays of the sun shows upon it. "Ultima Ratio Regum" and "Nec Pluribus Impar" are engraved upon the barrel, these vallant phrases perhaps having some occult connection with interior and exterior ballistics of that period. An inscription tells that it was cast at Douay in 1693 by Kelleritiguro, a Helvetian. Its caliber is stx inches, its length eleven feet eight inches and its weight 5,000 pounds. It was taken from the fortifications at the mouth of Santiago harbor, either the Morro or Socapa, in 1898, and was received in Washington from New York arsenal May 27, 1899. These trophies are worthy of a close examination. The history of these guns, other than as indicated by their inscriptions and their capture by Americans, is not known. The guns are silent as to their past. It was probably glorious, but they must have tasted the bitterness of defeat, else how could these brave French guns have come into possession of Spain? After three centuries of bloody service under the banners of kings it must seem tame to these old war guns to point steadfastly out upon such a peaceful prospect as Pennsylvania avenue. Seeking Fresh Water. A huge underground lake is to be tapped in an effort to supply water to a section of Belgium which is almost entirely dependent on rain water. CHILDREN AT THE CAPITAL Washington Is Noted for its Many Interesting Youngsters—Diplomatic Corps Well Represented. Visitors to Washington are often surprised at the many beautiful and engaging children to be seen here. Some of the most interesting among the many can be mentioned Senator Dixon's five little girls. The Swager Sherleys of Kentucky have two beautiful little girls constantly attended by a French governess and maid, so that they speak beautiful French and very bad English, and Representative Hobson, the much kissed hero of the Merrimac, and his attractive young wife have a most interesting family of children. Among the diplomatic folk there are numbers and numbers of very beautiful and very engaging youngsters. The little Baroness Hengelmuller, whose father, the Baron Hengelmuller, ambassador from Vienna, has just been recalled, was among the most fascinating children of the capital, and while she was much too old for the frolicsome play hours of the park, she was frequently seen out for her daily walks with her Hungarian maid or her French governess. The Countess Benoist D'Azy before her marriage to Lieutenant D'Azy, now naval attache to the French embassy, was Miss Caroline Jones of Chicago, and her two young sons are typical Americans—they assert that they are Americans, and nobody seeing them would have any occasion to dispute the statement. But there are Nick Longworth's young nephew and niece, who are intensely French. They are the children of the military attache of the French embassy, Count De Chambrun and Mr. Longworth's sister, who previous to her marriage was Miss Clara Longworth of Cincinnati. Both Adelbert and little Clara are typically French in their speech and manners, which probably is due to the constant presence of French maids and a French governess. In the Persian legation are three attractive dark-eyed children—two sons and a daughter. Their mother was Miss Florence Breen of Boston and their father All Kull Kahn, is charge d'affaire of the legation. The older of the boys, Rahim Kull Kahn, already is a general in the Persian army, a complimentary title purely, but he has a most wonderful uniform as insignia of his rank, and when he dons it much to the delight of the boys of the neighborhood he becomes vastly more enviied than the boys who merely have Rough Rider suits or Boy Scout uniforms. The three children are being given every advantage of unspoiled American children and are attending school in the public schools of the capital. Then there is one little girl in the Turkish legation—Cynthia, daughter of Abdul Hak Hussein Bey, first secretary of the legation, and a charming English mother, who is also giving her little girl the advantages of plain Americanism and sending her to the public school. The South American diplomatic folk have a large company of clever and attractive children. The Norwegian minister and Madam Byrn have four children. CORSETS IN THE DISCARD Unwhaleboned Girl, French and Fetching, Now the Rage at Capital Smart Dances. Conservatives in Washington society, who hold that the cigaret smoking, bunny-hugging women are sending society to the bow-wows, have another tune to set their wall now. It is the unscored girl. She arrived in single file last winter; this season she has come in full battalions. It is French and fetching to discard the ingirdling stays. Besides, only very slender, youthful persons dare to take up the innovation, so the innocent little debutantes very decidedly have "put one over," on their sisters of several seasons ago. At the Draper costume ball the other night, the Eighteenth Century French court costumes, with their rigid whaleboning and their general bouffant effect, made the corset a negligible affair. Negligible also have the products of the corsetierre been at most of the smart dances given this winter. The first girl to appear uncorseted at a dance created a mild sensation, but so materially did her innovation enhance her career as a belle that the subsequent dances were remarkable for the number of girls who had taken up the "back to nature" idea. The prevailing style of frock, with its high-waisted effect and its female air of languishment makes the newest "dress reform" idea possible. One after another the youthful damsels have cast aside the artificial form and nobody seems to care a lot how the elders shriek. Significant Sign. A neat sign in fine gilt letters spelling the word "Exit" has been placed conspicuously above the revolving doors on the senate side of the Capitol. "What is that sign for?" inquired a sad-looking stranger of one of the policemen. "That's to show the Republican employees of the senate the way out of the building after March 4," replied the officer without grinning. Pittsburgh Leads. More fuel is used in the city of Pittsburgh and its immediate vicinity than in any other city in the world.

The aeroplane suggestion, according to the fertile imagination of Parisian milliners, is in the sharp feather at the back, which is supposed to resemble the propeller of an aeroplane. This hat is of very dark gray straw with a flatly applied trimming of pheasant feathers in shades of green, bronze, cream and scarlet. Entertainment That Is Always Enjoyable and Really Requires Little Preparation to Be Success. This idea is not new, but it is a delightful one to carry out in this season. Invite just 12 guests and first let them write a set of good resolutions beginning with the initial letter of their names. Allow 15 minutes for this and then collect them to be read aloud at the "tea," which may be announced at 5, 6 or 7, according to the hour the hostess wishes. At the table outline the names of the months at each place and if the guests' birthdays are known seat them at the months allotted to their natal day. Of course, there may be several with birthdays in the same month and those may be seated as close to their month as possible. Seating them makes lots of fun. The names of the months may be in gold letters on strips of white paper. From the overhead center light suspend gilt stars by fine threads, one for each guest; at the end of the feast the hostess will say that they may pull a star and learn their fate for the coming year, that a noted astrologer had cast their horoscope and written the result on the stars. To make the table very attractive have individual unshaded white candles, wipe first with a damp cloth and roll in diamond dust. They will be very pretty, and the marshallows may be toasted over them. The one who made the best set of resolutions may receive a reward. Neck Velvets. The old-fashioned black velvet neck bands and wrist bands are in vogue again this season. The "neck velvet" is worn an inch wide, with one, two or three slides. These ornaments are in gold, plain or set with stones. This pretty fashion offers a suggestion for home work, the slides to be made from tiny pearl, steel or gilt beads. Growing out of the neck velvet idea is the use of black velvet as an armlet or bracelet. These, too, have slides or ornamental sections, and can be used as an encircling band to hold the bracelet watch. Ribbon Trimming. Evening coats have gauged ribbon borders, plain tailor-made costumes of cloth and velvet are bound with ribbon, while ribbon silk floral sprays and ribbon bows for neckwear have never been in greater vogue. Every day we are hearing of some new kind of ribbon and some new use to which ribbon may be put, says the Philadelphia Times. Ribbon is extensively introduced in the evening stole and muff with excellent effect, and lingerie is never complete unless it is ribbon-run and adorned with ribbon bows. The New Sleeves The new sleeves are long—not the most comfortable mode for summer—but fortunately they are loose, on the order of a straight Chinese sleeve. Some are very noticeable on account of their bagginess, while others are close fitting. When they are not put into the regulation size armhole they are attached to an enlarged armhole, which adds to the general baggy, loose appearance of the garment. The extended shoulder is likewise shown on some of the new coats. Straight Edge. In order to get the edge of table linen straight before hemming, says a contributor to Needlecraft, I find the place where the deepest cut must be made, and from that point pull one or two threads across the goods. It is very easy to follow the line thus made with your scissors, and the edge is made perfectly true. Season's Models Are Unusually Early This Year Because of the Advent of Easter. For spring, which, from the ear'y date of Easter, will be pushed forward a little this year, the styles have been generally decided by the leading designers. Suits and separate coats will be the first to which attention will be directed, and they will fully reward the eager searcher after new things. The length of the spring-suit jacket will be influenced by the general design. Cutaway models will be longer, and the simple tailored suit will be "wrist length"—which is about twenty-seven inches on the average-sized woman. The skirts will show no material increase in width; but it will be there for the convenience of walkers. Slight drapings and pleated panels will be used, with fullness at the top of the skirt. This latter feature gives an easy line at the back, preventing the unsightly spanning which was so evident in the light skirts last year. Eton and bolero effects will be very strong, and promise new becoming-ness to slender women. The short, dummy one who doesn't tell her weight any more should shun these short coats. The noticeable feature is the leniency of the coming styles. All types of figures should be given a modistic chance to appear at their best. STREET SUITS J. Bridal Petticoat. The bride or the girl who wishes something pretty and inexpensive may make for herself a dainty petticoat. Choosing white satin as the foundation, she has simply to sew upon it from the height of the knee a flounce of lace slightly frilled on, but only slightly, so that the pattern may be seen. The petticoat looks exquisite when there is chosen for the frill a net applique with a scalloped design that recalls broderie anglaise in net. Evening Coats. It is a few years since the mandarin coat from Japan was introduced into this country as a handsome outer wrap. Now they are being imported in large numbers, the result being an opportunity for a wide choice in patterns, colorings and lengths. There is also a wide range in price. Of course, the cost is largely dependent on the amount of handwork. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHO ST. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY CURTIS M.
