Wentworth, chairman of the executive board of Frederick Douglass center, 3032 South Wabash avenue, to determine whether there is a prejudice against employment of Negroes in Chicago stores and offices resulted today in the publication by the center of of letters written by Chicago bankers, lawyers and merchants, recognizing that such a prejudice exist and pledging their help to eradicate this feeling. Among the men who assured Mr. Wentworth that they will lend their aid to give the Negro young man or woman an equal opportunity with whites were Julius Rosenwald, William E. Mason, Judge E O. Brown, N. W Harris, George H. Webster, Irwin S. Rosenfels, John O'Connor, Maurice S. Kuhns, George Packard, Francis E. Bromell, Louis F. Post, Robert McMurdy, Harold Eckes and others representing many rprofessions. Feels Injustice Keenly "I feel keenly this injustice and have for some time past been making efforts to convince some of the head men of Sears, Roebuck & Co. of our duty in that direction," was the response of Julius Rosenwald, who has led in the movement to give the Negroes Y. M. C. A. buildings. Colored Men In Bank. N. W. Harris, founder of the Harris Trust and Savings bank, wrote: "We have colored men her in our bank. There have been in years past certain prejudices between the races, but I trust it is growing less, and I think the white people certainly should do what they can to advance civilization among the colored people. On the other hand, the colored people must do their share and success really lies with themselves. No one else can do it for them, and if they are industrious and frugal, I am sure they will succeed." Praises Work Of Nurses Praises Work Of Nurses "The colored professional trained nrrses are the nearest practical success in overcoming the barrier you allude to," was the reply of George H. Webster. "Their welcome in many white families here and elsewhere has been a great satisfaction to those who have been instrumental in their preparation." Irwin S. Rosenfels, advertising manager of Sears, Roebuck & Co., wrote: "It will interest you to know that I have recently recured a favorable expression regarding the admission of colored apprentices from shop chairmen of three different labor unions employed in our printing plant." Cause Of Discrimination "The discrimination against colored men is due to race prejudice which, whatever we may think about it, does exist," was the reply of George Packard. "Its eradication has to be secured by gradual, almost imperceptible degrees. It cannot be accomplished by any sudden jump, still less by forcing the issue in concrete instances. Rational and frequent discussions seems to me the only feasible way and there should be opened up through the press and in every manner and form, in my judgment, free discussion of this important question. It is not only one of equal opportunity in business but of equal opportunity in all lines. "I do not agree that on account of these conditions it is useless in a city like Chicago to give the younger generation of colored men and woman educational advantages. There are certain spheres of occupation that are always open to colored people, and educational advantage is just as useful, just as apparent and just as helpful in those occupations as in any other. Whether a man is a Pullman porter or a waiter he becomes a better porter and waiter and better able to advance and get into things if he has an education. Asks Personal Attitude Maurice S. Kuhns, president of the Safeguard Accounting company, wrote the center that he has just sent a form letter to the heads of his offices asking them to reply as to their personal attitude on the employment of colored men by his firm. One of the questions reads: "If the mental, moral and physical considerations are equal will you be willing to have a colored man use the desk next to yours and will you extend to him the same courtesy given any white employee?" Mr. Kahns adds that he is anxious to help solve the problem of race prejudice. William Eliot Furness replied that the Negro needs to be more thorough in equipment before the prejudice can be done away with. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S. BALTIMORE NEGROES OWN MILLIONS IN REALTY Baltimore, Md., Feb. 12.—Although there are 90,000 Negroes in this city, and the question of housing them is a vital one, H. M. Burkett, a colored real estate broker, is responsible for the statement that the Negro citizens own property in Baltimore value between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000. In discussing housing conditions affecting the Negro, Mr. Burkett says: "The work of improving the housing conditions for colored people has gone on unrelenting for 14 years, and within this period there have been sold by one firm more than four thousand houses to colored people, most of whom receive only a small wage. Of these four hundred purchases in 14 years there has not been one foreclosure or loss of property from failure to keep up obligations. Within the last 14 years the home life of our colored citizens has improved at least 40 per cent, and when the small wages of the average colored citizen, his lack of knowledge of systematic saving, the burden of taxation, the inexperience of investing, are taken into consideration, the fact that so large a member have kept their obligations without a single failure is remarkable. "The exact value of property owned by colored people in Baltimore may not be easily ascertained. While the city has been diligent to keep a record of colored criminals, it has not apparently kept a record of colored taxpayers. Without definite information it would probably not be far amiss to say that the value of property owned by colored people in this city is between $7,000,000 and $10,000,-000. While this sum, compared with the total of taxable city property, is insignificant, yet it may be worth while to show that this accumulation has been made by a peasant people, in a very short while and under mauy unfavorable conditions, in many instances in the face of bitter opposition. "The discouraging features to colored ownership have been: First, small wages; second, a lack of knowledge of systematic saving; third, ignorance of the method of how to acquire property; fourth, discouragement by those who have lost their property through cunning and dishonest agents; fifth, the over taxation of colored people by their own churches and secret organizations; sixth, its lack of the element of chance, which appeals to the race and which secret societies or industrial insurance encourage; seventh, fear of injury and loss to their property in case of race disturbances. "The encouraging features to colored ownersip are: First, the natural desire for home and comforts; second, the ground rent system; third, high rents charged colored tenents; fourth, the fair decisions of Maryland courts in protecting the property rights of colored people; fifth, the excellent police protection given colored property owners; sixth, the fact that colored people in Baltimore are not forced to live in the red-light district, as is true in some cities; seventh, the equitable assessment of taxes and insurance rates; eighth, the encouragement given colored people to own homes from a number of reputable white brokers." M'LEAN "ADOPTS NE GRO CHUM FOR 100-MILLION BABY Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 16. Edward B. McLean and his wife, who have a three year old son, Vinson, commonly known as the "$100,000,000 baby," because it is said he will inherit that sum, have taken a little Negro boy as their fosterling. He is John Win'bush, Jr., 5-year-old son of John Winbush of P street, near Massachusetts avenue, Washington. P. T. Spencer, Mr McLean's attorney, brought the little boy to Palm Beach today, after having prepared papers, which the child's parents signed for a consideration, relinquishing their rights over the boy forever. By the contract, Mr. and Mrs. McLean do not actually adopt the child. He is not to bear their name or to innerit from them except as specified in the contract. He is however, to be treated as an equal of young Viuson McLean and furnished with every luxury until he is 15 years old, when he is to become Vinson's valet. Jack Winbush, Jr., began leading his new life when he left Washington, where he had been supplied with a fine wardrobe. He had a drawing room to himself on the Florida Special on the Seaboard. He eats at the table with young McLean in the family's private dining room. He is the only Negro allowed on the bathing beach. Dressed alike in white sailor suits and both bare-legged, Vinson and Jack played in the sand all morning in front of the Casino. The children made their appearance hand in hand and seemed to be great chums as they played with shovels and pails. Tonight Mr. McLean engaged one of the Negro bellboys at the hotel as a personal servant for this child. RACE NEWS Olympia, Wash., Feb. 7.—The Senate passed today a bill prohibiting the intermarriage of members of white and colored races except where both persons are citizens of the United States. The bill's purpose is to prevent Japanese from marrying white women. Dover, Del., Feb. 6.—A "Jim Crow" law applicable to steam railroads in Deleware was introduced in the House today by Representative Ownes of Bridgeville. It is not thought the bill will get through the legislature, as the senate is in control of the Republicans and Governor Miller is of the same political faith. The bill would require railroads to maintain either separate coaches for white and Negro passengers, or cars divided by partitions. The echces of a movement reached here from Honolulu, the purpose of which have Mr. Charles A. O. Ohio, retained as collector-termal revenue.

The Hawks asking that he be retained not by the Wilson Madison, Wis., Feb. 10.—The Stewart bill prohibiting the marriage of blacks and whites is meeting with sharp disapproval from the colored contingent of Wisconsin. The Booker Washington Men's Forum of Milwaukee has petitioned the members of the Legislature against the proposed law, branding it is a "vicious attempt at class legislation, contrary to the political and civil economy of our republican institutions." Assmlyman T. A. Stewart declares that he introduced the measure to prevent marriages "like that of Jack Johnson and the Cameron girl." A number of educators and clergymen of Louisville, Kentucky, have begun a movement to form a co-operative stock company for the purpose of establishing a bank. They are endeavoring to raise a capital of $95,000. Several Negro leaders in Tennessee, California, West Virginia, are interested in the movement. This is the first attempt to establish a Negro bank in Louisville and it is expected that the plan will succeed. Pine Bluff, Ark., Feb. 11. Our professional and business men are steadily gaining strength and growing in the confidence of their neighbors. Our city has a population of something over 15,000, and I doubt very much whether you can find another city of its size with so many real hustling colored people. We have two dentist both of whom do a thriving business; we have nine doctors, all of whom are kept busy; we have five lawyers and they seem always busy Our merchants are, as a rule, fairly well patronized by our people. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14 NO 24 The echces of a movement have reached here from Honolulu, Hawaii, the purpose of which is to have Mr. Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, retained as collector of internal revenue. The effort in Mr. Cottrill's behalf is fostered by the most influential citizens of the islands, of both races. They say that Mr. Cottrill has made a capable, considerate and progressive official and fear that a change might disturb the very satisfactory commercial conditions now existing there. Mr. Cottrill has spoken on many important occasions at Honolulu and has made a fine impression as an orator and has become known as a delightful gentleman to meet, both in a social and business way. The Hawaiians are asking that he be retained indefinitely by the Wilson administration. Mineola, L. I., Feb. 11.—For fifty years James Hammond of Oyster Bay worked for the Weeks estate. He died January 17, and the filing of his will at Mineola disclosed the fact that he had accumulated an estate worth $30,000. Mr. Hammond was illiterate, not being able to read and write, and his will was signed by a mark. He was more than seventy years old. His will was made the day before he died and he bequeathed to his friend, James Seudder, $2,000, the same amount to Sarah Mayhew Seudder; $5,000 to Bertha Edith Hammond, his daughter, and $1 each to a number of nephews, the exact number of whom Mr. Hammond did not know, as he had not know, as he had not heard from them in years. The residue of the estate is left to the three persons to whom direct bequests are made. FROM BALIMORE STAR. Again Baltimore county is stirred by the possibility of a Negro institution being established in a white neighborhood. This time it is Catonville, which learned of the menace when an advertisement came out in a weekly newspaper. In it the home of the Misses Katherine and Rose Raab, on the Frederick road, is offered for sale to colored folk for an institution The property is that of the late Michael Raab and lies between Newburg and Melvin avenues. Directly opposite is Salem Luther Church, and adjoining the Raab place on the East is the home of Dr. Charles L. Mattfeldt, county commission He, by the way, does not feel alarmed. Trouble with a certain neighbor is blamed by some for the advertisement. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD.

Denver.—Colorado's protest to the federal policy of controlling and administering the public domain, prepared by Governor Ammons, after several weeks' work, was presented to both branches of the Legislature. The memorial prepared by Governor Ammons takes issue with the conservation policy. Colorado wants conservation of energy and the prevention of waste, but not the keeping of the land and forests in a state of preservation for future generations, is the slogan enunciated throughout the memorial. Every phase of the land question, the water situation, and the various methods of control and supervision is taken up and combated by argument. In its array of facts and figures the memorial that is given to the Legislature for action is in every sense a brief for the whole West. Named for Board of Agriculture. Denver.—The name of Mrs. J. B. Belford as member of the board of agriculture was sent to the Senate for confirmation by Governor Ammons. There is no woman on the board at present. The appointment was confirmed. A. A.

"Richest in Twenty Years and Big Camp Forming!" Says State Official, After Visit. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—"Another Creede!" A cow pasture converted over night into a bustling mining camp, the largest in Colorado. Assays that I made show the strike runs as high as 1,000 ounces of silver to the ton. It's the greatest Colorado strike in twenty years!" This is the nutshell opinion of Thomas R. Henaen, state commissioner of mines, of the new strike on Horse Mountain, Brush Creek, in the Fulford district, seven and one-half miles southeast of the town of Eagle, in Eagle county. Commissioner Henahen arrived in Denver after an examination into the new strike. He went into the tunnel that has penetrated Horse mountain fifteen feet, and which has ore roof, sides and floor. He brought a number of samples to Denver and immediately had them assayed. One group of samples ran 500 ounces of silver to the ton; the second group ran 950 ounces to the ton. The strike will make the discoverers, Oscar Kempf, formerly an oldtime Boulder county miner, and E. E. Glenn and R. S. Wolverton, all of Eagle, rich men," said Henahen. "The country has been staked for five miles around—one man refused to accept $65,000 for a thirty-day option on his claim. "A hundred or so old prospectors are already on the ground. The ground is covered with from three to five feet of snow and I would advise inexperienced men to stay out of the rush. It will be thirty to sixty days before it will be safe for this class. "The new camp will have a population of five thousand within sixty days. This is opening a brand new territory. It is not on a forest reserve. It has been used heretofore for grazing and had been scarcely prospected until Oscar Kempf went into the district several months ago. Kempf operated in the Boulder district twenty years ago and now he jumps from the ranks; a poor miner at breakfast, an embryo millionaire at dinner." New Union Depot for Pueblo. Pueblo.—After years of dickering Pueblo is in position to present the six railroads entering the city with a concrete and apparently feasible plan for the abolition of grade crossings and the consolidation of all terminals. The financing has already been arranged with an eastern bonding firm, according to George W. Sutton, president of the Colorado-Kansas railroad, which agrees to place $C,000,000 worth of bonds upon the signing of contracts by the railroads and the city to use its tracks upon a wheelage basis. The plan includes purchase of the present union depot and the switching yards of all railroads entering the city and the construction of a new union passenger station spanning the Arkansas river from Union to Victoria avenues and extending 100 feet on either side. DeVinney Gets Year in Prison. Greeley. — Former County Commissioner R. W. DeVinney pleaded guilty to bribery in connection with the letting of the contract for the Evans-LaSalle concrete bridge to C. G. Sheeley, and was sentenced to not less than one year in the penitentiary by District Judge N. F. Graham. In addition to the penitentiary sentence DeVinney has agreed to pay back to the county $2,000, making a total of $4,186 which he has returned. Suffragette Too Busy. Colorado Springs.—Because the defendant is active in the suffrage movement in the East and cannot appear at the trial at present, Judge Morris struck from the District Court trial calendar the suit of J. M. Husung against Mrs. A. H. Pitzer, sister-in-law of Champ Clark. The suit is to enforce a lien against Mrs. Pitzer. Mrs. Pitzer is with the marching suffragettes now en route from New York to Washington. Pleads Guilty to Forgery. Boulder.—Fred J. Line, former clerk of the board of county commissioners arrested here February 2nd on a charge of forging names to eighty-seven uncalled-for warrants, was sentenced by District Judge R. G.

CAPTAIN SCOTT TELLS CAUSES OF FAILURE EXPLORER'S VESSEL IN NEW ZEALAND BRINGS FURTHER DETAILS OF LOSS OF PARTY—BRAVE MEN PERISHED WITHIN ELEVEN MILES OF CAMP WHERE FOOD WAS PLENTY. Western Newspaper Dalton News Service. London.—During the terrible days immediately preceding his own death and that of his four companions, Captain Robert F. Scott, realizing that escape was hopeless, wrote the following message to the world. The document, which is believed to have been finished on the day he died, reads: "MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC: Those Who Perished in Scott Expedition. Captain Robert F. Scott, leader. Dr. Edward Wilson, scientist. Captain L. E. G. Oates. Lieutenant H. R. Bowers. Petty Officer E. E. Evans. Christ Church, New Zealand.—The "The causes of this disaster are not due to faulty organization, but to misfortune in all risks that had to be undertaken. "First—The loss of the pony transport in March, 1911, obliged me to start later than I had intended, and obliged the limit of the stuff transported to be narrowed. "Second—The weather throughout the outward journey, especially the long gale in 83 degrees south, stopped us; the soft snow in the lower reaches of Beardmore glacier again reduced the pace. We fought these untoward events with will and conquered, but it ate our provision reserve. Every detail of food supplies, clothing and depots made on interior ice sheet and on that long stretch of 800 miles to the pole and back, worked out to perfection. "The advance party would have returned to the glacier in fine form and with a surplus of food, but for the astonishing failure of the man whom we had least expected to fall. Seamau Evans was thought to be the strong man of the party, and Beardmore glacier is not difficult in fine weather, but on our return we did not get a single completely fine day, and this, with a sick companion, enormously increased our difficulties. We got into frightfully rough ice and Evans received concussion of the brain. He died a natural death, but left us a shaken party with the season unduly advanced. "But all the facts enumerated were as nothing to the surprise that awaited us on the barrier. I maintain that our arrangements for returning were quite adequate, and that no one in the world would have expected the temperature and surface which we encountered at this time of the year. On the summit in latitude 85 degrees to latitude 86 degrees, we had minus 20 to minus 30. "On the barrier, in latitude 82—10,000 feet lower—we had minus 30 during the day and minus 47 at night pretty regularly, with continuous head wind during the day marches. These circumstances came on very suddenly and our wreck was certainly due to this sudden advent of severe weather, for which there was no satisfactory cause. "I do not think human beings even came through such months as we have come through, and we should have got through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of our mates and the shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I cannot account, and finally but for the storm which has fallen on us within eleven miles of this depot, at which we hoped to secure final supplies. "Surely misfortune could scarcely have exceeded this last blow. We arrived within eleven miles of our old One Ton camp with fuel for one hot meal, food for two days. For four days we have been unable to leave the tent, and a gale has been blowing about us. We are weak. Writing is difficult. "But for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown us that Englishmen can endure hardship, help one another and meet death with as great fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last. "But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honor of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend upon us are properly cared for. Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the hearts of all Englishmen. "These rough notes on our dead bodies must tell, the tale, but surely a great, rich country like ours will see that those who, depend upon us are properly provided for. (Signed) "R. SCOTT, "March 25, 1912." Opens "Mansion House" Fund. London.—The lord mayor of London has announced the opening of a "Mansion house" fund for the erection of a memorial to Captain Robert F. Scott and his companions who died in the Antarctic. The duty of providing for dependent relatives of the dead explorers, he considers, should be undertaken by the statu. Captain Scott's Body Found in Tents Captain Scott's tent, inside which he bodies of Captain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers were found, was discovered on November 12th by Wright's party. Their concise records, the tale on their hope, their suffering and their triumphs were found on their bodies. Briefly—with efforts that must have been frightfully painful, in view of their awful situation—these records aid that Edgar Evans, the petty officer, had been the first to die. Those Who Perished in Scott Expedition. Captain Robert F. Scott, leader. Dr. Edward Wilson, scientist. Captain L. E. G. Oates. Lieutenant H. R. Bowers. Petty Officer E. E. Evans. Christ Church, New Zealand.—The Terra Nova, the vessel which took Captain Robert F. Scott to the Antarctic on his way to the South pole, and which returned there to fetch him back, but instead brought the news of his and his companion's heroic death, arrived in this port. The whole terrible tale of a disaster followed triumph in the great Antarctic wastes; of strong men battling against overwhelming odds; of how Captain Scott and his four comrades in the "ultimate southern party" died, and knowing that death approached, left a record for the world to read, is now told. When the Terra Nova, Scott's ship, found itself unable to penetrate the ice barriers and sailed back to New Zealand again after leaving Scott's polar party and the geological party under Dr. Levick, to spend another winter in the dim continent, Garrard and Demetri—attached to the western party under Dr. Atkinson—set out with two dog teams to the southward, hoping to meet Captain Scott's party on its return from the polar dash. Scott had anticipated reaching Hut Point, one of the established depots, about March 10, 1912. The relief par- [Picture of a man in a military uniform]. ROBERT F. SCOTT. ty managed to push its way through under unparalleled difficulties to One Ton depot, but there the scarcity of dog food, the consequent poor condition of the dogs drawing the two sledges and the persistent savagery of the Antarctic storm forced a halt. Garrard and Demetri did not know that only eleven miles farther south in the white wilderness the brave men they were trying to succor would die nineteen days later. By just that narrow margin of eleven miles Captain Scott and his party had failed to win over starvation and exposure. On March 10, Garrard and Demetri, the former suffering terribly from heart strain due to the hard work of breasting daily blizzards, turned their faces northward. They reached Hut Point on March 16, their dogs almost without exception frostbent and so exhausted from lack of food as to be temporarily unfit for further sledge duty. Garrard himself was utterly exhausted. Neither Atkinson nor Evans accompanied this first relief party, Evans then being down with the scurvy and Atkinson had remained with him. When Garrard and Demetri finally managed to return to Atkinson's camp there were only two sound men left in it. These two sound men—Atkinson and Keoghen—sledged out to Corner camp in a vain effort to lend necessary help to the southern party, whose long-continued absence began by this time to raise fears in the hearts of the few puny explorers in the heart of the great silence. Fight Way in Snow. These two fought their way through gathering snows to Corner camp, deposited a week's provisions there and returned to Hut point. Open water prevented communication with Cape Evans, where Lieutenant Campbell's western party had its headquarters, and it was not until April of last year that communication with Cape Evans was made possible by the freezing of the ice. The final searching party for Scott's expedition left Cape Evans on October 30, 1912, after the hard Antarctic winter had passed. The party organized by Huerger Atkinson, consisted of two wings Atkinson, with Garrad and Demetri and dog teams formed one party, and C. S. Wright took charge of a party of seven, including Nelson, Lashley, Gran, Crean, Williamson, Keoghan and Hooper. Wright and his men had seven Indian mules. Provisions for three months were taken by each party. Bodies Are Discovered. It was the Wright party that reached One Ton camp first. They found that depot intact, but no signs that anyone had been there 2735 Welton St. Main 6363 The Central Bottling & Distributing Co.

The Colorado Statesman is glad to note that the warrying factions in the Republican ranks are again coming together and are working harmoniously; this is as it should be. The following editorial appeared in the Baltimore Star, Feb. 11: Yesterday, in convention assembled, the Republicans and Progressives of Michigan gave a practical and convincing demonstration that the thing which should be done is the thing which can be done. That is to say, the Michigan Republicans and Progressives have united in nominating a state ticket and the contest in that state is to be a two-party and not a three-party affair. There was a general state election in Michigan last year in addition to the national election and the whole Republican state ticket was elected with the exception of the governor. The Democratic candidate for governor was elected, because, while the Republican candidate polled 169,963 votes, the Progressive candidate polled 155,872, thus electing the Democratic candidate, who was in an actual minority of 131,218, by a plurality of 24,054. It was an object-lesson which the split wings of the Republican party in Michigan have heeded. This year two justices of the State Supreme Court are to be chosen and yesterday the two wings united upon a ticket and a platform. What has been accomplished in Michigan must be brought about in Maryland and other states. There is to be a general state election in Maryland this year. A three-party contest simply means a clean sweep for the Democrats. GEORGE WASHINGTON. The world will never weary celebrating the birthday of the first president of the United States. He set the standard which is the object and high purpose of every predecessor to follow. His name grows larger as the nation advances. His fame and character increases as the nation multiplies and his name is destined to remain at the head as long as great names are honored in America. Born in Westmoreland Co., Va., 1732. February 22 represents the 181st anniversary of his birth. In all public places of business and education his name and memory is held in the highest reverence and toasted at banquet and festive boards. Washington deserves a place in literature as well as history although he wrote nothing designed especially for publication except his "Farewell Address" to the American people yet his private and public letters, including his correspondence and diaries from several volumes of colonial and historical value and set our high ideal for public life today, when graft, wire pulling intrigue and diplomacy mark the action of men in high places. Washington will always be looked upon as the ideal president who thought more of the welfare of the country than of his own success and immortality, but this very fact in itself will give him the first place in the hearts of his countryman. The world has moved forward since Washington's day but not in producing a better model for president. Her Explanation. Recipe for Love Letter.

MILNER least harmful form of smoking." From the complete articles in the great medical journal this is found to be but part of the truth. The Lancet statement was that the smoker probably consumes less nicotine in using cigarettes than in cigars or pipes. It also states that too much emphasis has been put upon nicotine and too little upon other hurtful substances. The Lancet does not take back a single warning of the evils of cigarette smoking, and especially for boys. Charles B. Towns, regarded as high authority on the question of narcotics, had a notable article in the Century magazine on "The Injury of Tobacco." He sums up his opinion in the statement: "I consider that cigarette smoking is the greatest vice devastating humanity today, because it is doing more than any other vice to deteriorate the race." Mr. Towns represented our government in the work of driving out opium smoking from the Philippines and has studied the question of narcotics and drugs in the Orient. China has made great advance in driving out the use of opium. A great tobacco company (American and British) spent a large amount of money in sending out salesmen and demonstrators through China to show the people how to smoke cigarettes. Mr. Towns estimates that one-half the cigarette smoking of the world is in China and that the cigarette evil is even worse than that of opium. Scale of Tips is Fixed by Uncle Sam By C. P. STEWART That the tip is an established institution in the United States is conceded by that serious agency of government, the federal treasury department. It has promulgated an order specifying the tips that its employees may include in their traveling expenses while transacting public business. Some may be inclined to accept the government's scale of tips, as they accept the government's weights and measures, as establishing the standard. The treasury department of a national administration that has tried to make a specialty of efficiency and economy permits an employee in New York or Chicago to tip the persons who bring his meals to him not more than 50 cents a day. He may spend a like sum for this service in any one of a score of other cities of considerable size, the names of which are specified. For the services of sleeping-car porters he may spend 25 cents a day and of chair-car porters 15 cents a day. If he crosses the Atlantic ocean he may use $10 for stewards' fees; going to or from Hawaii he may give the stewards $15; going to or from Panama or Porto Rico, $10. He is not allowed to give baggagemen or porters more than 25 cents on the arrival at or departure from hotels, wharves, railroad stations and such places. Tipping is a serious matter to many an American of small resources. Not a few persons wish they had the federal treasury behind them to stand the expense of tips when they travel. It may comfort them somewhat to know that the treasury itself parcels out the tips with a considerable degree of prudence. Officers Will Avoid Excess in Drinking By E. W. RICKARD, Washington, D.C. Drinking to excess is likely to be avoided by officers and men of the United States army hereafter. If in this fashion they bring themselves to the point where they are unfit for duty they will forfeit their pay for the period during which they are incapacitated. This is the substance of an order by General Wood, chief of staff, pursuant to a provision in the army appropriation measure inserted at the request of army authorities. The order applies also to the use of drugs and to diseases due to misconduct. Heretofore in the case of enlisted men they have been fined by summary court-martial for drunkenness which disabled them for duty. In aggravated cases officers have been brought to court-martial and have suffered loss of rank or dismissal from the service. Where no public scandal has been attached, and where the offenses have not been public or flagrant, no punishment has followed. An officer disabled from duty through any of his vices has been treated in the military hospitals and his absence from duty excused as a matter of course. By the new regulation the army will be brought more nearly to the situation which prevails in civil life. Modern standards in railroading, for example, are approaching the point where harmful indulgences either on or off duty are regarded as cause for dismissal. During the summer months large cities employ considerable numbers of men on pavement and road work, in parks and for other outdoor purposes. When winter closes down they are out of jobs in perhaps a majority of cases. They therefore form a contributing cause to the problem of unemployment. None of them earns enough to save funds that will tide him over until spring. In consequence cities add to the number of those who will most probably become public charges. Philadelphia recently came to the point where it had to dismiss 500 laborers of this character. The director of public works, however, hesitated to take the step. So he conceived the idea of writing a letter to various large business establishments, stating the case and urging that, if possible, they make use of such of the men as might be fitted for the work of these private employers. In these times of prosperity the demand for unskilled laborers may be such that other cities, too, might successfully take the same course not only in fairness to the men but as a method of self-protection.

LETTERS THAT WASHINGTON NEVER WROTE Des. Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 4th inst., and I heartily approve of your suggestions. The gentleman whom you name is, I think, to be trusted. Instruct him concerning the matter of presenting the dummy bids, but be careful to keep copies of them from falling into the hands of reporters. It is evident that we shall have to observe the greatest caution in the entire matter, and we must not overlook any of the circumstances that are likely to arise. To compel the people to pay $25,000,-000 for a statehouse which is worth only $4,000,000 is, as you must know, a process which demands delicate handling. I am convinced that you will leave nothing undone to insure the success of our project. See to it that your part of the proceedings is properly accomplished and you may depend upon me to look after your interests in the division of the profits. Kindly destroy this letter as soon as you have read it. Very truly your obdt. serv't, G. W. Dearest Baby: Oh, how I long to have you near me. Sometimes it seems as if I cannot wait for your coming. Last night I dreamed of you, and today I can think of nothing but you. Ah, to have the gifts of the poet that I might give you an adequate expression of my feelings! But you know I love you with all my soul, don't you, dearest Honeybunch? Why has Fate tricked us in this cruel manner? Why, oh, why, were we not permitted to know each other before it was too late? But it is not too late, is it, darling Sweetelums? Does oo love oor Georgie? You must write at once to tell me that you never have a thought for any one but me. What an unfortunate thing it is that affinities will not be fashionable until long, long after you and I are dead, and how sad it is that Reno will not be put upon the map until a hundred years or more from now. Well, never mind, Lovey Dovey. We will make the best of the situation as it exists. Angels could do no more. I send you a million kisses. The Father of His Country. George Washington, first president of the United States, was a third-generation American.

Reduce Cost of Reading There are two clubs in New York that are designed to reduce the cost of fresh reading matter. One is composed of women who contribute 25 cents a month and have the use of all the best magazines, which are later sent to a hospital.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Wiley university has just finished a building costing $30,000, besides a $3,000 president's home and a $3,000 dormitory. At Claflin university "Tingley Memorial Hall" has been built by the students, and has cost more than $50,000, while a medical college costing $15,000 has had two-thirds of its cost contributed by the students. One colored conference, besides giving $6,000 to the Freedmen's Aid, has given $7,000 to other benevolences. A church in Lynchburg, Va., with a membership of 500, all moderate wage-earners, the maximum salary of whom is $700, has given $5,000 for Christian education. The Jubilee singing troupe of Claflin university are said to have "sung up" four large brick buildings for their college during their 15 vacations. It is also said that the collections last year from the negro contingent were $10,000 more than on any previous year. Negro orators make much of the panels in Lincoln hall, Springfield, Ill., recently erected by the State university, representing the "Down River Trip of the Slave Auction," "Lincoln and Douglas Debate," "The Inaugural Address," "Lincoln, the Savior of the Slave," and the "Gettysburg Address," together with those phrases of the respective occasions, which have become classic in American literature. According to the New York Age, a white theater there, in the most cosmopolitan city of the world, is barring colored people; the Chicago Defender bewaits a "Jim Crow" division in the jail in Chicago; the Indianapolis Ledger cries injustice at the decision of the court in the case of a colored fortune teller accused of assaulting a white client—all of which goes to show that this thing of color prejudice is found everywhere, north, east, west, as well as south. Moreover, it shows that unless the great bulk of black folks is reached more thoroughly by the softening influence of education and Christianity, this prejudice will be unconfined and uncontrollable. After all, in most instances, it is not the color primarily that works against the race in the matter of common justice and ordinary accommodations, it is the disgusting lack of decorum, the boisterousness, the lack of everyday refinement and the general "cussedness" that characterizes ever more of a very great number of the race. Add to this the badge of color and you have it. The schools and churches have failed to do their whole duty in reaching the people that need them most. Education—education of heart and soul and head and hand—that is all that can save the race. Louisville News. There have been a great many negroes in the past fifty years who neglected to protect their rights in their inventions, and have died poor and unknown. The story is often told of one such New Yorker who invented many of the earlier railroad car appliances while employed by a certain railroad, but, failing to protect any of them, was defrauded of his rights and died in poverty. Such cases are always tragically pathetic. Negro inventors should be careful to patent their work. It is not possible to estimate their value until the demand for them has been measured. Some of the simplest inventions, like the bread-saving knife and the hook and eyes for dresses, have been the most useful and profitable.—New York Age. The Illinois Chronicle hopes "that a change for the better is to be the order of things, and that our experience of the past 50 years will help the race to do better, requiring better ministers better leaders, more gospel of industry, of work, of thrift, of education and of right principles generally, to the end that the race may come into its rightful glories of eternal life in the world to come." That is all of a reasonable hope, and there is plenty of good foundation laid in the past 50 years upon which to base it. There are grave and instructive lessons which the negro may learn with profit to himself and posterity if he would heed the call; but, he must relegate suspicion, fear, envy and jealousy, unite the feeble remnants of his scattered ranks and determine to win, if he ever hopes to be a mighty force among the mighty nation in a mighty land. Love that is at first so delicate that an ill-fitting pair of trousers may destroy it wholly may later become so strong as to be reconciled even to onions. A man always thinks down deep in his heart that a woman is sensible if she refuses him—and usually he is right. Motive power for a tramway that ascends one of the Austrian Alps is provided by a gas balloon, which lifts cars along a track. Faint heart seldom escapes fair widow. Any man who shaves himself is apt to cut his best friend. During the coming summer will occur the semi-centennial of President Lincoln's proclamation freeing the African slaves held in the southern states. The freedmen of 50 years ago were as poor as poverty could be, and as ignorant as darkest Africa. During the summer the African race dwelling in southern California will hold a golden jubilee, and it is claimed that 25,000 of them will participate. At a meeting held in Los Angeles late in December, one of the leaders at the meeting held to plan for the jubilee made the announcement that the negroes of the United States number 12,000,000. They have proved in the main industries, thrifty and law abiding beyond anything that might reasonably have been expected from a race so long held in bondage. If in the 50 years they make as much material, intellectual and moral progress as in the first half century of their freedom, they will do much to disabuse the popular mind of its prejudice against the black race. In some of the smaller places of Texas, where negroes give "entertainments," etc., white men are very conspicuous and take almost as much interest as the negroes. Let them cut out the practice, as it is not a good one, in fact, the white man who "hangs" around negro festivals is not there for any good and should be given to understand that his presence is not wanted. He is a germ breeder of trouble, and if we can't get rid of him, quit giving the entertainments. The chivalrous white man who is helping to make history, and who is helping in the material advancement of our country, is not the one who participates in negro socials. The Texas Guide is uncompromisingly opposed to social equality in any old form, and more so against "after dark social equality."—The Texas Guide. 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, Masai and Akamba tribes." The missionaries gathered at Philadelphia from various sections of the United States.—New York Age. The United States circuit court of appeals in Chicago decided that the heirs of twenty-eight negro stevedores who were killed in an explosion on the steamer Tlogo, on the Chicago river, twenty-three years ago, were entitled to $100,000. Every direct descendant of the identified dead, either has died or disappeared. The steamship company wound up its affairs years ago. The attorney who defended the case and the lawyer who prosecuted it are dead. It is said there will be an opportunity for heirs of the dead to collect damages, if any heirs can be located. The company deposited a $200,000 cash bond before it went out of business. The American Missionary association belonging to the Congregational body, is equally devoted to negro education. It has 100 schools under its auspices, with pupils to the number of 16,000, of whom negroes predominate. Jubilee hall of Fisk university is a monument of the musical genius of the negro, as also the origin of the quaint melodies which charmed the world nearly half a century ago. Congregational churches, Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies, correspondingly with the Methodist people, utilize the month of February financially and spiritually for the uplift of the colored race and the honor of Abraham Lincoln. This association sends an order of worship to pastors, superintendents and leaders desiring it, designing for instruction and entertainment in "The Golden Jubilee of Emancipation" on Lincoln Memorial Sunday, February 9. For 66 years the association has worked, "under the flag, with the flag and for the flag." As long as there is hope in the heart pour what liquor you will there in and the hope will turn it sweet. Following Christ should mean very much more than wearing a red button and going to church in pleasant weather. Instructions in bacteriology, anatomy, and biology is given in many German schools with the aid of motion pictures. Every man thinks he knows a lot about women until he marries one. It isn't half as far from virtue to vice as it is from vice to virtue. CALLS STATUES JUNK SPEAKER CLARK WOULD DE STROY WORKS AT CAPITOL. Addresses Children of Confederacy at Exercises Commemorating Lee's Birthday—Says Statuary Hall Is Chamber of Horrors. Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives, took occasion to severely criticise the art in statuary hall of the capitol the other day, when he addressed the Children of the Confederacy, who had gathered to commemorate the 106th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birth, and lay a wreath on the statue of that warrior. the art in statuary hall of the capitol the other day, when he addressed the Children of the Confederacy, who had gathered to commemorate the 106th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birth, and lay a wreath on the statue of that warrior. "There is not much to say on an occasion of this kind, my beloved children," began the speaker. "We have many statues of soldiers, statesmen, and ministers here in statuary hall, but most of them should be broken up and sold for old junk. "I firmly believe that Senator Hoar was right when he called this the 'chamber of horrors.' With one exception, not any of the statues portray the true physical likeness of the men they are supposed to represent. I am told that the statue of Blair is a good counterfeit of Blair." Here, the speaker turned to Representative Townsend of New Jersey, chairman of the library committee, and said: "I believe that Brother Townsend is in sympathy with what I say, and that something should be done by the library committee in seeing that statuary hall is provided with the proper kind of statues of the nation's great men." Representative Townsend assured the speaker that he was in sympathy with the suggestion. Continuing, Speaker Clark told amusing episodes connected with the preparation of some of the statues. He said that the statue of Senator Ingalls of Kansas was nothing more nor less than a good statue of that senator's son. "You see," said the speaker, "Senator Ingalls had a son who was almost the exact replica of himself in physical appearance, although his countenance did not exactly resemble that of his father's. Well, when the senator had been dead some time, and the people of the state wished to send his statue here, they got the boy to dress up in his father's favorite suit, for the senator was a fastidious dresser, and the sculptor went to work. "All below the collar on that statue, of course, is nothing but a duplicate of the figure of Senator Ingalls' son. How near the part above the collar resembles the senator I cannot say." "The same way with many more. I had often read about Daniel Webster, and all the articles told of his majestic personal appearance. I could quote for hours on it; but the day that they unveiled the statue of Daniel Webster my illusions were shattered. I had made a mental picture of a man 6 feet 6 inches tall. The statue was about 5 feet $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches. "The statue of Sam Houston, over there on the other side of the hall, gives a poor idea of that great fighter. He was one of the finest specimens of physical manhood that ever trod United States soil. Yet, that little, diminutive work over there would lead you to believe otherwise. "Now I do not know whether this is a good statue of Gen. Lee or not; but if it is not, then I would advise you children to put in a good one." PLANS WHITE HOUSE CHANGE Mr. Wilson Would Have More Guest Rooms, but Alterations Not to Be Elaborate. Col. Spencer Cosby, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, has returned from Trenton, bringing with him plans for changes which are to be made at the White House in order to furnish sufficient accommodations for Gov. and Mrs. Wilson and their three daughters. Col. Cosby's plans were heartily indorsed by Gov. Wilson. They previously had been approved by President Taft. Col. Spencer Cosby, who is directly in charge of alterations and improvements at the executive mansion, has for some time been considering the proposed changes. President-elect Wilson, in discussing the subject with several newspaper men in Trenton the other day, said that the most of the changes would be made in the third floor of the White House. "Several changes are to be made in the White House," Gov. Wilson stated. "Although they were not suggested by me, I was consulted in regard to them, and I have approved the plans which Col. Cosby brought from Washington. "The changes include the addition of more guest rooms in the third floor of the executive mansion," Gov. Wilson added. "The White House was not planned on a wholly domestic scale, and there is a shortage of guest rooms there now." The changes suggested by Col. Cosby, it is understood, do not involve an elaborate rearrangement of the executive mansion, but are sufficiently extensive to furnish additional guest rooms. SUGGESTS A NEW FEATURE Move to Reassemble Former Residents of the White House for Inauguration Celebration. The presence at the capital of Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland and Miss Esther Cleveland, widow and daughter of the former president, and of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, also the widow of a president, has inspired the tea table gossips with the idea that it would be perfectly lovely to have a grand reassembling of the White House families as a distinctive feature of the forthcoming inauguration celebration. Washington has been going about the past few days wondering if its "history was on straight" and the harking back to former times has brought the names of many former residents of the White House to the tip of the tongue. Last May, when the women of the national Democracy got up their famous Dolly Madison breakfast, they brought together a score or more descendants of Democratic presidents, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Tyler and Cleveland being among the number. With the partisan element eliminated there would be a large and interesting group of men and women to call upon and the presence of these members of White House families would be bound to add much to the inauguration fetes. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. James A. Garfield, who makes her home in California, form a trio of widows of presidents. Presidents' daughters include besides Miss Taft, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Mrs. Stanley Brown (formerly Miss Garfield), Mrs. McKee (formerly Miss Nellie Harrison), and Mrs. Frank H. Jones of Chicago (formerly Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris). Sons and daughters of the late President and Mrs. Hayes are still living. Abraham Lincoln's children include Robert Todd Lincoln of Chicago. President Arthur has a married daughter living in New York, and the late President Garfield has several sons. Jesse Grant and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Frederick Dent Grant, widow of President Grant's eldest son, and their children would form a most interesting group. President Tyler's son, John Tyler, and his family are living in Virginia, which state could furnish a goodly list of Jeffersonian descendants. ORDER CAUSES A BOYCOTT Women Clerks of Treasury Department Forbidden to Do Cooking During Lunch Hour. Since Mr. MacVeagh became secretary of the treasury he has been a great stickler for sanitary conditions in the treasury and other buildings under his department. Inspectors from the public health service made many rounds, followed by recommendations for more healthful offices for the employees, and many of the suggestions were adopted. One suggestion was that an order be issued forbidding women clerks to do any cooking, even prohibiting brewing tea, boiling coffee or making cocoa. The order was promulgated. There was a near riot, especially among the older women, who for years and years had been bringing their luncheons and using gas jets to boil tea or coffee. Matters were soon made worse by an order against bringing and eating lunches. This was too much. Secretary MacVeagh had to lift the ban on lunches, but he stuck to the prohibition against cooking in the office rooms. To overcome the objection of the women he established a splendid lunchroom, with coffee and tea making utensils, tables, chairs, and so forth. Now he is wondering at the perversity of women. The lunchroom is absolutely shunned. MOVIES FOR CONGRESSMEN Thousands of Feet of Film Taken of Panama Canal to Be Shown. The omnipresent "movies," the joy of the poor man, are about to invade the house of representatives. The audience will be made up of members of the committee on appropriations and other congressmen. The "movy" hall will be the committee room of that body in the capital. When the committee made its recent inspection trip of the Panama canal it took along a moving picture machine and operator as well as a photographer from the geological survey. Thousands of feet of film were taken and have since been developed. They depict the big construction work and are calculated to illustrate graphically to the invited guests, who couldn't go on the "junket," the necessity for appropriations. Fortification plans will also be shown on the screen. Would Buy Pullman Mansion Negotiations are now being made by the Russian ambassador for the purchase of the Sixteenth street mansion of Mrs. George Pullman, of Chicago, for a permanent embassy in Washington. The Pullman mansion has never been occupied and is one of the notable new residences below Scott Circle in the heart of the aristocratic section of Washington's older homes. Russia and France are now the only nations maintaining embassies in rented quarters.

You must excuse me from uniting with you to honor the memory of your illustrious countryman, since I could not do so with sincerity, for Washington scorned a crown, and did more to bring royalty into contempt than all men who have ever lived.—Emperor Francis I. of Austria. Until time shall be no more will a test of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and virtue be derived from the veneration paid to the immortal name of Washington.—Lord Brougham. Again is here the anniversary of the birth of George Washington—a legal holiday from Porto Rico to the Philippines, and a notable day to the 160,000,000 who are carrying the English language around the globe, as well as to all civilized peoples. Washington's place in history has long been fixed. If he is not the greatest man of all time it is not possible to name a greater. This is the judgment of civilization and has stood unchanged during the years since his death. Nevertheless, history has done Washington a great wrong. Unable to find in him the imperfections of humanity, it cast aside his humanity and re-created him as an impersonal superman, as far removed from flesh and blood as are his marble statues. This deficitation of Washington is a thing that we American must undo. Weighed in the balance as flesh and blood, he loses not one jot or tittle, but rather gains in greatness, while we gain a human Father of this Country. For George Washington, in spite of history, was as human as any son of Adam. The proof that Washington was very human—a man of full blood and hot temper, sensitive, modest and doubtful of his capacity, fond of the good things of life as he saw them and reluctant to give them up even at the call of duty—is ready for the asking. It is in the writings of Washington himself—not so much in those state documents in which he was more or less on parade—as in the thousands of intimate pages of diaries and letters. Let the student once forget Washington the demigod, and Washington the man springs to life from these writings. And there is abundant corroboration—if it were needed—in the writings of his contemporaries. Delving into Washington's papers in search of the real man, we come upon all sorts of little things that show him to have been very much like the rest of us in many ways. We have space for but these: The supercilliousness of the British officer rasped the Colonial Washington to the quick. After the Great Meadows campaign he declined a nondescript command in these words: "If you think me capable of holding a commission that has neither rank nor emolument annexed to it you must entertain a very contemptible opinion of my weakness, and believe me to be more empty than the commission itself." Washington liked good wine and his Madeira was famous. We find him aghast over the fact that fifty-six bottles of it had been served to casual visitors at Mount Vernon during his absence and writing to have it stopped at once. He says claret is good enough His rule of order, justice, peace, Made possible the world's release; Taught prince and serf that power is but a trust. for people "who may incline to make a convenience of the house in traveling, or who may be induced to visit it from motives of curiosity." Washington's dislike for slavery and his humanity to his slaves are beyond question. Nevertheless we find him writing: "And what sort of sickness is Betty Davis'? A more lazy, deceitful, and impudent hussy is not to be found in the United States." When Washington was elected president he wrote to Knox: "In confidence, I tell you * * * that my movement to the chair of government will be accompanied by feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution." Washington kept his hot temper under iron control. He abhorred profanity. And here are two touches of nature that make us all akin: At Mornmouth, finding the traitor Lee in retreat, he galloped up to him at full speed and swore at him "until the leaves shook on the trees * * * like an angel from heaven." In a cabinet meeting some one handed him a cartoon representing him as being publicly executed by the guillotine. Jefferson thus writes of the scene: "The president was much inflamed, got into one of those passions when he cannot command himself, ran on to the personal abuse which had been bestowed on him, defied any man on earth to produce one single act of his since he had been' in the government which was not done on the purest motives; that he had never repented but once having slipped the moment of resigning his office, and that was every moment since; that by God he would rather be in his grave than in his present situation." Washington was no freak of genius, springing to life full-armed for the work to which he was called. He was a consistent continuance of the family pattern. He "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." He grew, just as we all grow. The Washington who was so embarrassed by the thanks of the Virginia house of Burgesses that he could not speak, and thus called forth Speaker Robinson's immortal "Sit down, Mr. Washington; your modesty is equal to your valor, and that surpasses the power of any language that I possess," was a very different Washington from the Washington who awed the great of all the world. Had Washington died before he became commander-in-chief he would be remembered merely as a gallant Colonial soldier and rich planter; if just after the surrender of Yorktown, as one of the great generals of the world; if after the Federal convention, as a political leader and great general. It requires his presidency to establish his statesmanship. And finally it took his retirement to private life to give the last touch to his patriotism and proclaim him "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Washington's "Charmed Life." The Indians said Washington bore a charmed life after he got four bullets through his coat and had two horses shot under him in a movement led by General Braddock against Fort Duquesne. Showed His Wisdom Early. George Washington was just twenty-one years old when Governor Dinwiddie sent sim on a perilous journey to Ohio to find out the strength of the French, which he accomplished handily. WAS DISTRUSTFUL OF FRANCE WAS DISTRUSTFUL OF FRANCE Washington, With Prophetic Eye, Foretold the Conflict That Later Sundered the Two Countries. George Washington was not one of those who was disposed to consider France as a trustworthy friend of this country. He had been reluctant to take up arms against England, and after the Revolution he was deeply anxious to re-establish and maintain friendly relations with the mother country. A letter which he wrote in 1789 to a former friend in England throws an France as a trustworthy friend of this country. He had been reluctant to take up arms against England, and after the Revolution he was deeply anxious to reestablish and maintain friendly relations with the mother country. A letter which he wrote in 1789 to a former friend in England throws an interesting light upon his feeling at that time. The letter is as follows: "Mount Vernon, 15th August, 1798. "Revd. Sir. "I know not how it has happened, but the fact is, that your favour of the 8th of Novr., last year, is but just received; and at a time when both public & private business pressed so hard upon me, as to afford no leisure to give the 'View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution' written by you, and which you had been pleased to send to me, a perusal. "For the honor of its Dedication, and for the friendly & favorable sentiments, which are therein expressed, I pray you to accept my acknowledgment & thanks. "Not having read the Book, it follows of course that I can express no opinion with respect to its Political contents—but I can venture to assert, beforehand, and with confidence, that there is no man in either country, more zealously devoted to Peace and a good understanding between the two Nations than I am—nor one who is more disposed to bury in oblivion all animosities which have subsisted between them & the Individuals of each. "Peace, with all the world, is my sincere wish.—I am sure it is our true policy.—And am persuaded it is the ardent desire of the Government—But there is a Nation whose intermedling, & restless disposition, and attempts to divide, district & influence the measures of other Countries, that will not suffer us, I fear, to enjoy this blessing long, unless we will yield to them our Rights, & submit to greater injuries and insults than we have already sustained, to avoid the calamities resulting from War. "What will be the consequences of our Arming for self defence, that Providence who permits these doings in the Disturbers of Mankind; & who rules and Governs all things, alone can tell.—To its all powerful decrees we must submit, whilst we hope that the justice of our Cause if War must ensue will entitle us to its protection.—With very sincere respect I am "Revd. Sir, Your Most Obed. Servant, "Go. WASHINGTON." UNSOPHISTICATED GEORGE George never saw an Ibsen play Nor heard of Alexander's band; The hobble skirt in George's day Remained a thing as yet unplanned; He never had Wall street to fight Nor found insurgents to entrap, And when he journeyed home at night He did not dangle from a strap. No manicurist laid A shining polish on his nails; With dynamite he never played, Nor bought his shirts at bargain sales; WALTERS Never Saw a Hobble Skirt. He never dodged a taxicab Nor feared the teeth in Teddy's mouth; He never started out to grab A delegation from the South. He never met a suffragette Nor ever traveled fast or far; He never had to go in debt To get his wife a motor car; He never sent for Morgan when A panic threatened or began, Nor ever used a fountain pen- Poor, unsophisticated man! Washington. If our American institutions have done nothing else but furnish to the world the character of Washington, that alone would have entitled them to the respect and admiration of mankind.—Daniel Webster. ODE TO WASHINGTON. The following ode was found in an old scrap book, and is supposed to have been written by Mayor Gaynor of New York when he was still too obscure to persuade the magazines to publish his literary efforts. Again we celebrate the birth Of one of the greatest men of earth— Great in peace and great in strife, Great in the council hall: Great in the sight of a critical wife— The greatest thing of all. A man holding a sword above his head. A man holding a rifle above his head. A man holding a gun above his head. Neither a saint nor a demigod. Just a sprout from the virgin soil. Faults he had as have other men. He sowed some wild oats, too. But he did his duty, sublimely when He found that the thing to do. Weak in the flesh, he still could stand Of one of the greatest men of earth! He had his faults; he loved and made A fool of himself as others do; When women praised him he displayed A human greed for flattery, too. Let us praise him, Let us raise him To fame's highest place, since he Though so great in council hall And in war was, after all So very much like you and me. BREEZY BITS ABOUT G.W. Washington powdered his hair and wore a shirt which was made of the material that was used for lace curtains. He was not a statesman who felt that it was necessary to affect a slouch hat and proclaim his unwillingness to be seen in evening clothes, in order to win the support of the plain people. It is alleged that Washington once threw a silver dollar across the Potomac river, but he never threw away money by purchasing lobster for a chorus girl. A set of false teeth that were worn by Washington are preserved in the National museum at Washington. One is surprised when one examines them to find that there is no trade-mark or other sign upon them to indicate that they were "made in Germany." If all the men and boys who have been named for George Washington could be drilled and armed and gathered into a cohesive force they could whip any army in the world. Washington was the richest man in America when he retired from public office, and a large majority of the office-holders who have followed him seem to have had a desire to claim the same distinction. The Father of his Country possessed small ability as a public speaker. When it was necessary for him to deliver an address he read it from manuscript and became so nervous that he could hardly keep the pages from eluding his grasp. He never had the advantage of early practice at a high school commencement. Some men think that inability to sign their names so that they may be deciphered is an indication of greatness. Washington does not appear to have regarded that as an infallible sign. When Washington was a candidate for the presidency there were many people who feared that he would upset business and wreck the government owing to his inexperience as a chief magistrate. He insisted, however, that it would be possible to have a president who had not had to begin somewhere. We have no proof that Washington ever rolled a cigarette or tasted grape-fruit, or bought on margins or had himself paged in a hotel or tried to write a play or attempted to become a fiddler or posed as a village cut-up or threatened to stop his paper because he did not like the editor's policy. Washington never traveled abroad, never saw a baseball game, never played golf and never hooked his wife's waist; but it is alleged that he did lay a cornerstone or two. MADERO EXILED; BROTHER SHOT CONDEMNED MAN FORCED TO RUN GAUNTLET OF HIS OWN GUARDS. MEXICO CITY PLEASED COUP OF FEDERAL GENERAL COMPLETE; REBELS WITH-DRAW THEIR ARMY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Summary of Mexico Developments Summary of Mexico Developments. Gustavo Madero, brother of deposed person, member of Cabinet, executed by order of President. Francisco Madero deposed as President of Mexico by own men, and exiled. Victoriano Huerta. Madero general, takes charge as provisional President. Civil war in Mexico ceases after exchange of notes with Felix Diaz. Ambassador Olson the intermediary, General驻洛汗 in Mexico City follows resignation and arrest of President Madero. Huerta notifies President Taft he has overthrown the Madero government. United States will still keep warships on Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mexico. Two thousand marines to ship for Guantanamo from Philadelphia notwithstanding cessation of war. New Mexican Cabinet Under Huerta. Mexico City, Feb. 20.—The Cabinet, it is believed, will be composed as follows, subject to the ratification of Congress: Foreign Minister—Francisco de la Barra. War Minister—General Manuel Mondragon. Finance Minister—Carlos G. de Cosio. Minister of Pomento—Alberto Gil. Minister of the Interior—Alberto Gimenez Gampees. Minister of Justice—Rodolfo Reyes. Minister of Public Instruction—Jorge Vera Estanhol. Minister of Communications—David de la Fuente. Mexico City, Feb. 20.—Francisco Madero, deposed from the presidency, has been exiled. Huerta was elected President by Congress last night to serve until an election can be held. Strict Non-Interference by U. S. Washington, Feb. 20.—An attitude of strict non-interference will be maintained by the administration toward the Huerta-Diaz regime in Mexico and no formal recognition will be accorded the self-styled heads of the government until they develop a stable administration. Any suggestion of approval or condolence over the events of the past two days will be withheld. Gustavo Madero Executed. Mexico City, Feb. 20.—Gustavo Madero, brother of the deposed President, was removed from the penitentiary and executed. It is presumed that this was done by order of Felix Diaz, under the notorious "fugitive law." The ex-President and his brother Gustavo were sent as prisoners to the arsenal from which Felix Diaz had bombarded the city for ten days. Soon after their arrival there Gustavo Madero was subjected to the notorious "fugitive law," by which he was free to run under the rifle fire of his guards. He fell dead from their bullets. Francisco Madero, the deposed President, was later taken under a heavy guard from the national palace and lodged in the arsenal. There he was a prisoner of General Diaz in the very place which for over a week he had caused to be battered with cannon in his efforts to subjugate the rebel army. Had Francisco Madero succeeded in defeating Diaz there seems little doubt that bloody reprisals would have been made. "Those Who Should Die" is the caption in an official Maderist document found. The list included Francisco de la Barra, James Florez Magon, Manuel Calaro, Albarto Garcia Granado and Dr. Vasquez Gomez. For some days De la Barra believed he was in danger of assassination and hid in the British legation. The rebel forces are not to be removed from their positions for two or three days, as disorders are feared. The fall of the Madero administration in Mexico, brought about by the wellarranged plot of the federal military leaders, has been received in the capital with general acclamations. It is not known how the rest of the country will receive the change. The part played by the United tSates embassy in the settlement of the ten day's battle gained for the American flag such a tribute as never before was witnessed in Mexico. Brakeman Fatally Hurt. Grand Junction.—E. R. Thum of Cardiff, a brakeman on the Midland, fell under the train at Palisade and was fatally injured. $180,300,000 Voted for Pensions. Washington.—The largest pension bill ever reported to Congress, carrying appropriations aggregating $180,300,000, was passed by the House by a vote of 219 to 40, with an amendment which will make necessary an additional appropriation of more than $1,000,000.

The figure on the left has a caught-up skirt, and rather plain bodice of seft white satin, with a “petticoat” of mousseline de sole brocaded in silver. The belt is composed of silver passementerie rings from which falls a narrow sash of capucines ribbon. ‘The plain undersleeves and the shaped decollete are in the silvery mousseline, with an edge of silver picot lace. The shoes are white satin, with paste and silver buckles, and the stockings are flesh-pink silk. ‘The girl in tho center wears a skirt of flat machine-kilted pink mousse- line de soie. There is a short little sideways tunic of the mousseline, with a baby bodice, finished round the neck with a lightly beaded net trimming, matching the sleeve frills. A cachet is given by the three large lavender- blue silk roses, with green velvet leaves, which are posed on the bodice-tunic. ‘The last dress is slightly more daring. It is for a little brunette. The white satin fourreau is covered with cerise mousseline de soie, forming a caught-under tunic looped with cerise ribbons. The lower part of the skirt, and also the inner bodice and undersleeves, are embroidered in a lattice- work of crystal beads, the cerise satin shoes being worked with similar beads. In the hair is a little Hmpire wreath of gold leaves. The same idea might be carried out with soft yellow satin, or pale sea-green, or Nattier.

TOBER, Prop. Helpful Beginning to End Desired— Two Good Rules That Must Be Followed. Many girls have asked me how they may become well bred. This is a hard question to answer, ‘The term implies that it must come with train- ing. Perhaps the most helpful begin- ning would be to find someone who can serve you as a sort of model. Women of charm and distinction are unfortunately few, but it must be a poor society, indeed, where at least one woman of grace and refinement cannot be found. Having decided upon one woman— there may be more if you are lucky— study her. Try to discover what con- stitutes her charm and what are her blemishes. Be sure to let your charm- ing woman serve as a “sort” of model. Do not slavishly copy tones, gestures, dress. It is only something of her spirit that you are to try to catch, for there are two rules which, it you will follow them, will do more for you than even your model can. You will find that she is your model because she followed these rules herself, ‘The first is: “Think about others, not about yourself,” and the second is the same.—Exchange.

When the blood is improved and enriched with these red corpuscles the weight increases and a beautiful tint appears on the cheeks, while the lips assume a healthy red color, Many physicians and beauty doctors pre- scribe three-grain hypo‘nuclane tab- lets, which are said to invariably in- crease the red blood corpuscles after @ course of treatment lasting several months. The nervous system and gen- eral health also improve rapidly. The best physicians and apothecary shops supply this tablet in sealed packages. F D I W. F.
