Education Pilgrim Wealth and Power Pepresented. And Rosenwald SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 22 The week just closing is one long to be remembered by the Tuskegee Institute. Gathered on the campus of the Institute during the week was as large and as important a body of men and wemen of wealth and standing in the citizenry of the country as has ever before been gotten together in the South. For three days and a half Tuskegee Institute, entertaining the visiting members of the Board of Trustees of the school, entertained also, and happily, a hundred of the best representatives of the intellectual and civic life of the nation who had come from the East and the West to see the work of the great school located here. The visitors began arriving Wednesday afternoon, February 19th. A special train out of Chicago, made up of the personal friends of Julius Rosenwalb, the merchant prince and philanthropist, and bearing Pullman and private cars, rolled into the Institute grounds to the deafening applause of the 1,600 students and the teaching body headed by Principal Booker T. Washington and officers of the school. Amid Tuskegee cheers and yells, and the martial strains of the famous Tuskegee band, that appropriately played "Welcome Home," Mr. Rosenwald and his party received at the Capital of Negro struggle and striving, a veritable hero's welcome. With him were men and women whose names are a part of the high register of the city of Chicago. There was so much of welcome for Mr. Rosenwald that he very generously shared it with his friends and guests. They took it because, as they said, it was a welcome without a grudge. FAMOUS NEW YORKERS ALSO PRESENT Several hours after Mr. Rosenwald had fetched his party, the special train out of New York rolled in. On it were the former Mayor of New York, Hon. Seth Low, who is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee, William Jay Schieiflin and Frank Trumbull, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and also a trustee of Tuskegee Institute. The welcome given to Mr. Low and his forty friends was equally as warm as that extended to Mr. Rosenwald. The mid-winter meeting of the Board of Trustees was an important one. Of course every meeting connected with Tuskegee is important. Booker Washington long ago arranged that. The Board, with Mr. Low, chairman, preaiding, held sessions Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Dr. Washington, as usual, submitted a report that gave not only a strict but a faithful accounting of the stewardship placed in his hands, and that in a measure, as a Trustee said, "he allows his trustees to share with him." This report in due time, will be sent throughout the country. White and colored presidents of colleges, in the North as well as in the South, and particularly in the West where words are not rare, ought to sit down and thumb it. The week was one of great moment, not only for Tuskegee Institute, but for the Negro people of the whole country. Such an event as this pilgrimage of wealth and power to the heart of the South, to pay tribute to Negro effort and achievement, in this fiftieth year of freedom carries a significance which will not be overlooked or underestimated by thoughtful Negroes anywhere. MRS. YOUNG OPPOSES RACE CONSCIENCENESS Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 22.—Declaring that she was not at all interested in the Negro problem, as such, Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of the Chicago schools, created a great wave of enthusiasm last night in the Tuskegee Institute chapel, where the Rosenwald party, along with the visitors, who came with Seth Low, had gathered to meet the 2,500 people who up the life of Tuskegee. "I don't understand prejudice," said Mrs. Young. "Neither do I understand why colored people al- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 1 1913.

When I gaze upon this the world's greatest university for successful vocational training. I think only of men and women and not of race and color." The last two days of the festivities here have been Chicago days. All day yesterday the Rosenwald party was inspecting the various trade departments. The John A. Andrew Memorial hospital, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Mason, wife of a trustee of Tuskegee and granddaughter of Governor John A. Andrew, was dedicated yesterday before an immense crowd. Seth Low, presided- The farewell scene as the Rosenwald party pulled out of the campus today was touching. Sixteen hundred students, Principal and Mrs. Washington and the officers of the school stood, a great mass of humanity, along the embankment overlooking the cars. As the train pulled out and Mr. Rosenwald waved a last farewell, the institute band played "Auld Lang Syne," and the great chorus of voices joined in the song. WASHINGTON D. C. NEWS LETTER SPECIAL TO COLORADO STATESMAN. Washington City as most strangers see it, is the most beautiful and well regulated city in the world, but it is supported in its beauty and grander by the great treasury of the United States Government. Ye correspondent witnessed for the first the "Jim Crow" school system, or the operation of the seperate school law. We do not like this bad system, but it has on its pay roll, 561 colored school teachers, with salaries ranging from $50 to $90 a month, up to $3,500 a year. There are 20 colored schools. Washington has nearly 100,000 Negroes, almost one-third of the entire population. An enthusiastic mass meeting of 3,000 Negroes congregated on the 21st of February, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, to protest against the threatened "Jim Crow" law on the street cars, which the white citizens are agitating. Each speakers fired their audience to the place, which would have been dangerous indeed for a white man to have appeared on the scene. Strong resolutions were endorsed but no daily paper published them, in fact the correspondends of the daily papers were invited to attend the meeting, but they absolutely refused. For their excuse, they said they could not see why the Negro should object to seperate street cars, making it evident that they were willing to continue their agitation for "Jim Crow" cars. The speakers were: --- Rev. W. H. Brook, Hon. Archibald Grimke, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. A. C. Garner, Atty. Joseph Stewart, Rev. I. N. Ross, Hon. H. H. Hart of Howard University. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to each member of Congress. The law against inter-marriages, which recently passed the house of Representatives was also condemned. A committee of fifteen was appointed to appear before the committee of congress to protest against its passage. L Lelender King, president and legal adviser of the National Civil Rights Protective Association reports that his Association is growing in membership, and predicts great things to be received by the Negroes through his organization, which is a nation wide effort. This city with its 100,000 Negro population has only one Negro paper, published weekly. We believe it a spendid field for a hustling newspaper man, and that is the opinion of many we have talked with on the subject. About 3,000 Negroes are employed here in the Government service, and but few of them save any money, as it all goes for a good time. Must Hang For Murdering Negro Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 18. Arthur Jones and William Watson, two white men of "Bloody Beat 22," Birlingham District, Jefferson County, must hang for the murder of John Holland, a Negro, the Supreme Court having refused to reverse their case on appeal from the decision of the Jefferson Criminal Court. Watson will be executed March 21, unless the Governor intervenes, but no date has yet been set for the hanging of Jones. If Jones and Watson pay the extreme penalty for the murder of Holland, it will be one of the few times if not the only one in the history of the State, that a white man has been executed for the murder of a Negro. The testimony in this case showed Jones and Watson lured Holland to a secluded place near Cat Mountain, in Jefferson County, and, in the presence of Will Wade, they shot and killed him. Several others in Jefferson County are still under indictment for the same offense. It was also charged that the condemned men were implicated in other murders, which took place in Lewisbury beat, which was given the sobriquet of "Bloody Beat 22" because of the large number who have been killed there within the last five years. The murder of Holland was the only crime that could be definitely fastened upon the two men, although they were strongly suspected of other crimes committed in that section of the country. Holland was murdered in February, 1912. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 21.—Articles of incorporation of the Negro National Life Insurance of Arkansas, capitalized at $250,-000, were filed yesterday with Secretary of State, Earle W.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 22.—A movement started among colored citizens of Cinciunati to raise $100,000 for a Y. M. C. A. was given impetus today by an announcement by F. M. Russell, temporary secretary of a committee of fifty, in effect that Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, has contributed $25,000 and that a Cincinnati man, whose name is withheld at his own request, has donated another $25,000. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 18.—As a result of the refusal of the management of a place of amusement in this city to sell him a seat elsewhere than in the gallery. Frank Robinson has entered suit against the company to have the restrictions removed. A number of the amusement houses of this city have placed signs at their entrances and in other places where passersby may see them to the effect that colored patrons will be assigned seats in the gallery only. This is only an index to the conditions in this city which have steadily been growing intolerable. Washington, D. C.—Ground has been broken for the new $250,000 building for Normal School No. 2, Georgia avenue, near Howard University. For nearly thirty years this noted institution has been presided over by Dr. Lucy NO 25 E. Moten, one of the race's greatest educators. It is suggested that the school be named in honor of Prof. George F. T. Cook, under whose capable administration as superintendent, of public schools the normal school for colored pupils was established. Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 21. Mrs. Julia A. Hill, who claimed to have been Abraham Lincoln's housekeeper when practicing law in Springfield, Ill., before his election to the presidency, died here last Sunday.

It provides that the borough's affairs shall be settled by the Attorney-General and for the preservation of liens, records, judgments, both for and against the present borough. John H. Fow has prepared the bill for the Independent League, the headquarters of which are in New York. The bill provides that the territory now covered by the borough shall become part of the township in which it is situated. In his annual message Governor Tener recommended the ravoking of the borough's character for its alleged refusal to disclose those concerned in the lynching of Zack Walker. Petersburg, Va., Feb. 18.—The local school board has asked the city solons for a bond issue or an appropriation of $100,000 for three public school buildings for colored children. With the resolution was presented the report of the special council committee to look into the advisability of consolidating the Peabody and Jones schools. The shameful conditions existing in the colored schools were emphasized by Messrs Wilcox and McKenny. In declaring that the right and justice of the situation needed prompt remedying, Mr. McKenny in reading the report said: "The colored people are, and always have been, a valuable element of our population. They furnish the best labor we can get for some of our most valuable and best taxyielding industries. If we are going to give them the education which the law requires that we should give, we should do our full duty in that regard, remembering that the white people and the colored people of this community are bound together by mutual interests and that these interests cannot be disregarded and neglected." MADERO AND SUAREZ SHOT DOWN DEPOSED RULERS SLAIN WHILE ON WAY TO PRISON. De La Bara Says Escort Was Attacked and Prisoners Tried to Escape—Widows Denied Bodies. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Mexican Crisis in a Nutshell. Former President Madero and former Vice President Sunset of Mexico directed midnight while being taken from the palace to the penitentiary. Minister de la Barra declares in statement attempt the was made by fidelity to the prison and they were killed during the fighting. Provisional President Huerta declares tragedy is deplorable and that investigation will not change attitude of administration toward Mexican crisis, and that death of Madero was slaying of a man by his fellow-coroner. Senora Madero denied possession of her husband's body, though she begs for it at gates of prison. President Taft has taken all steps he can to tower preparing for possible intervention. Congress must make next move. Woodrow Wilson, told of tragedy, said he was directing assistance until he takes oath of office. Foreign diplomats in Mexico City refuse invitations to take lunchoon with minister de la Barra until mysteries surrounding death of Madero is cleared away. Mexico City, Feb. 24.—Francisco I. Madero and Jose Pino Suarez are dead. In a midnight ride under guard from the national palace to the penitentiary they were killed. The circumstances surrounding the death of the deposed president and vice president of the republic are un- X X Francisco I. Madero. known, except as given in official accounts which do not conform in all cases. The only witnesses were those actually concerned in the killing. The provisional president, General Victoriano Huerta, says the killing of the two men was incidental to a fight between their guard and a party attempting to liberate them. The minister of foreign relations, Francisco de la Barra, adds that the prisoners attempted to escape. Neither makes a definite statement as to which side fired the fatal shots. It is not impossible that neither knows. Not unnaturally a great part of the public regards the official versions with doubt, having in mind the use for centuries of the notorious "ley fuga," the unwritten law which is invoked when the death of a prisoner is desired. After its application there is written on the records, "prisoner shot trying to escape." Senora Madero, widow of the former president, received the first definite information of his death from the Spanish minister, Senor Cologan y Cologan. She already had heard reports that something unusual and serious had happened, but friends had endeavored up to that time to prevent her from learning the whole truth. An official investigation has been ordered to determine the responsibility and solemn promises have been made that the guilty will be punished. Soon afterward, accompanied by her brother, Jose Pere, and Mercedes Madero, a sister of Francisco, Senora Madero drove to the penitentiary, but was refused permission to see the body of her husband. Senora Suarez also was denied admittance to the mortuary, where physicians, in accordance with the law, were performing an autopsy. English Press Urges Intervention. London.—The Daily Express in an editorial referring to what is terms President Taft's hesitation to act in Mexico, says revolution and anarchy do not stand on presidential etiquette, and that the security of life and property in Mexico will not wait while President-elect Wilson installs himself. The Express describes an expeditionary force of 9,000 American troops as "a pill for an earthquake," and declares such a venture will need 100,000 men. The newspaper urges the British government to press for immediate action on the Washington government. Orders Demonstrations Suppressed. Cananea, Mex.—Governor Mayorte- na telegraphed from Hermosillo to all prefects throughout the state ordering them to repress any demonstrations as a result of the deaths of Francisco Madero and Jose Pino Suarez in the City of Mexico. Transport Prairie at Guantanamo. Guantanamo, Cuba.—The United States navy transport Prairie arrived here. The marines the Prairie brought south will be landed.at Camp Meyer. Five thousand troops ordered to proceed at once to Galveston, there to embark for foreign service. Seven thousand troops are now scattered along the Mexican border line. Two thousand marines are en route to Guantanamo, Cuba, which port is but seventy-two hours from Washington, Mexico. Six warships, each fully equipped with bluejackets and marines, are at strategic seaport cities in Mexico. Nine battleships and many destroyers and auxiliaries are at Guantanamo, Cuba. Fully three thousand troops of the First brigade of the army are in the city, and every army post and garrison in the country has been informed that orders to move may be expected at any time. **Conditions in Mexican Republic.** Fourteen States in Mexico are now in a state of revolt against the Huerta-Diaz régime. General Diaz declares he will abugate the rebels by argument, if armed in his own rule of force of arms if he must. General Huerta will prosecute a reign of terror throughout the Re-earth-aged leaders of the new revolt. Villalge is looted and sacked by rebels. Zarathists defeat Huerta's men in first battle of new revolution. RISE AND FALL OF THE MADERO REGIME. 1910. March 3.—Madero helped organise a national convention to nominate a candidate to oppose Porfirio Diaz. June 3.—Madero was thrown into prison by Diaz on charges of sedi- October 8.—Madero escaped from prison disguised as a peon and fled to San Antonio, Texas.

February 9.—Confronted with revolution led by Colonel Felix Diaz and General Bernardo Reyes. Personally leads federal troops against revolutionists. February 18.—Madero made prisoner by General Huerta, his principal assistant against Diaz, and Huerta becomes provisional President. POLICY OF U. S. NOT CHANGED. Attack on Americans or Foreigners Would Cause Intervention. Washington, Feb. 4.—The killing of Francisco I. Madero and Pino Suarez, deposed president and vice president of Mexico, after Provisional President General Huerta had assured American Ambassador Wilson of the safety of his prisoners from just such attacks, created a painful impression in administration circles here. Probably the immediate result will be to hasten the military and naval preparations in order to have the soldiers and sailors and marines ready to answer a call for instant embarkation if further developments in Mexico should demand their employment. The one danger to be apprehended, which almost certainly would result in the launching of an army of invasion, would be the commission of some act or acts in Mexico that would endanger the lives of foreign citizens and Americans, for, having assured the diplomatic representatives in Washington of the disposition and ability of this government to protect their fellow-citizens in Mexico in the same degree as Americans, the government has assumed an obligation that cannot be ignored. Therefore any attack upon the Americans or foreigners by the tacit consent of the Huerta government, or even the exhibition towards them of mob violence clearly beyond the ability of the provisional government to prevent, probably would be the signal for active intervention. Bodies Soaked in Oil and Burned. New York.—Tales of the horrors in Mexico City during the early days of the civil war that raged through the streets of that capital were brought here by American men and women who had escaped at the risk of their lives and taken ship from Vera Cruz. The experiences of this little group of Americans picture the terrors and bloody reality of the conflict. The deliberate shooting down of men and women, the stacking of their bodies in piles, to be saturated with oil and burned like great bonfires, and the hairbreadth escapes by members of the party of refugees form a part of the narrative they related. Say Felix Somerfeld Not Executed. Mexico City.—Felix Somerfeld, a German, chief of Madero's secret service, who, according to some reports, was executed, has not even been captured. His whereabouts are known to his friends, who say that he is safe for the present at least. Fort Russell Soldiers Ordered South. Fort Russell Soldiers Ordered South. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Pursuant to orders received from headquarters of the Central division at Chicago, the Fourth field artillery, Fort D. A. Russell, departed for possible service on the Mexican border at Texas City, Texas. The first train left Fort Russell Saturday morning, with Colonel Berry in command of the regiment. The present strength of the Fourth artillery is 750 men and 800 mules and it requires ninety cars to accommodate and transport the troops ANOTHER MADERO REPORTED SLAIN RAOUL, BROTHER OF EMILIO, IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED AT TORREON, MEXICO. CONFIRMATION LACKING TAFT ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT RECOGNIZE NEW REGIME IN THE REPUBLIC. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Mexican Situation in Terse Sentences. Bravo Madeco, brother of Emilio, reported shot Monday; believed to have been killed at Tortorion. Huerta sends out peace assurances when the parts of troubled Mexico are still in an arms. Zapata causing new administration apprehension. Oriental Corner, promises allegiance to Huerta regime. Mobilization of troops at Galveston continues. Taft administration decides to pass recognition of Mexico's new government No "official confirmation" received at Mexico capital of the reported killing of Emilio Madero. Mexico City, Feb. 27.—To the report that Emilio Madero was killed is added a rumor that his brother Raoul has met the same fate at Torreon. Both these young men were actively allied with Carranza, and, if true, their taking off doubtless will have a deterrent effect on rebel activity in that district, is the belief of the Huerta regime. Carranza still holds the region about Monterey, but General Revino, the federal commander, who is at Monterey, is said to have dispatched troops in the direction of Saltillo. No official confirmation was received of the reported death of Emilio Madero, brother of the late ex-President, who was said to have been shot dead near Monterey while attempting to join the rebels at Nuevo Laredo. The representatives of the foreign powers have formally accepted the official version of the deaths of ex-President Francisco Madero and ex-Vice President Jose Pino Suarez. The appointment of prominent army men as governors of states is taken to mean that Huerta intends to rule with a firm hand. The departure from Mexico of Ernesto Madero, former minister of finance, was followed immediately by a hurried counting of the cash in the government treasury. The result showed a balance of $92,000. This amount, however, does not represent all immediately available resources of the new administration, as there are various deposits in both local and foreign banks, which can be drawn on by the government. Rafael Tapia and ex-Governor Hidalgo of the state Tlaxcala, who are in rebellion, have conferred with President Huerta, offering to surrender on condition that the government give recognition to their officers according to rank and pay indemnities and expenses. Fist Fight Over Appropriation Bill. Washington. After four days of debate, accompanied at times by scenes of disorder seldom witnessed at the capitol, supplemented by a fist fight, the House passed the naval appropriation bill, carrying approximately $138,000,000 and authorizing the construction of one battleship, six torpedo boat destroyers and four submarines. An amendment to provide for one battleship, instead of two as recommended by the committee, was carried by a vote of 174 to 156. Budget System Urged by Taft. Washington.—President Taft sent to Congress his much-discussed "budget" message. He recommended the adoption of a budget system of relating proposed expenditures to expected revenues, and declared that Congress would be greatly benefited by having before it such a statement before it began the annual grind upon appropriation bills. Arizona Senator Wants Annexation. Arizona Senator Wants Annexation. Phoenix, Ariz.—A memorial to Congress suggesting the annexation of Sonora and Lower California to the United States was introduced in the state Senate by Senator Worsley of Tucson. It also suggests that the people of those political divisions of the Mexican republic first ratify annexation. Mexico Appoints New Ambassador.

Grand Junction, Colo.—Annual reports of officers of the Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association show that a total of 2,534 cars of fruit were handled by this association and that profits of $750,000 were returned to the 600 growers in the organization. This association is only one of three in in the Grand valley. The stockholders voted for the appointment of a committee to investigate the matter of advertising Grand valley fruit in Eastern papers and magazines and to determine upon a method for raising funds for this purpose. It is planned to create a market for "Mountain Lion" brand of fruit by advertising along the same lines adopted by the California orange growers. The report of Manager Howard Fletcher showed that Grand valley fruit sold at as high, if not higher, price during the year than any other fruit in the United States. German Art Exhibition in June. Denver.—The Denver city museum, one of the finest structures in the Capital City, has been loaned by the council for a great German art exhibition that will be held during the German turnfest next June. This display will be the most elaborate ever made by the Teutonic people of this country. Some celebrated paintings, statues, chinaware and pottery will be shown. The exhibits are limited to works of German origin. This exhibition will be one of the principal features of the turnfest.

On orders from the Department of Justice at Washington indictments brought at Dallas, Tex., for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust law by officials of the Standard Oil Company of New York, the Standard Oil of New Jersey and Magnolia Petroleum of Texas, were nolle prossed. Six contracting concerns, five of them of Denver, were awarded contracts for the construction of the last link of fifty-two miles of the Puget Scound to the Gulf road that is to place Denver on a transcontinental highway. The roadway to be constructed lies between Powder river and Orin Junction in Wyoming and is 124 miles in length. WASHINGTON. Funeral services for Major Henry Romeyn, U. S. A., veteran of the civil and Indian wars, were held in Washington. Reports of revolutionary activities and depredations in the northern part of Mexico are reaching the Department of State from Mexico City. The federal "white slave traffic act" of 1910 was upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in an opinion by Justice McKenna. Mrs. Jonathan Bourne, wife of the senator from Oregon, it is declared, took French leave of her husband, departing for Oregon and intimating that she would bring action for divorce and would name a young woman, an employé of the Senate, as co-respondent. Upholding the contention of the Union Pacific Railroad Company that it owns a 400-foot right of way from the one hundredth meridian into Denver, the United States Supreme Court handed down an opinion in the case of Stuart and Murray against the Union Pacific. The daily receipts of the Postoffice Department have reached the enormous total of $2,427,000, which is more than $300,000 greater than the combined receipts of the government from all other sources. The figures are set forth in the quartely financial statement of Charles A. Kram, auditor of the department. "Will Helen Taft capture the honor of being the thirteenth White House bride?" is the question that is agitating Washington society. There are strong remarks affloat that Miss Taft will marry Dr. Cary Grayson CONGRESSIONAL. The Senate passed rivers and harbors appropriation bill carrying approximately $48,000,000. President Taft signed a bill which more clearly defines the functions and broadens the scope of the federal bureau of mines. The bill to prevent Washington hotels and taxi-cabs from "boosting" their rates during inauguration passed the House by a vote of 119 to 65. The Senate passed Adamson bill requiring Interstate Commerce Commission to ascertain values of railroads, telegraph and telephone properties. With the House economists attacking almost every paragraph with amendments or points of order, consideration of the $146,000,000 naval appropriation bill progressed slowly. It will cost the government $186,000 to keep the national law makers cool during the coming summer, according to the report of Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol, who is arranging for the refrigerating system for the Senate and House chambers. The extra session of Congress which President-elect Wilson announced would be called to meet April 1, will find a number of tariff bills ready for its immediate consideration, and other general policies mapped out for the new administration. The date received general approval in Congress. SPORT. Mickey Sheridan of Chicago won the decision over Jake Abel, the Southern boxer, at Memphis, Tenn. A new record of three hours and five minutes for a flight from Paris to London was made by the French aviator, Marcel G. Brindejone des Moulinia. Dave Daniel, Flint middleweight, stopped Kid Roy of Denver in the third round of a scheduled eight-round boxing match at the Garrick theater at Flint, Mich. Patsy McKenna of Denver lost to Willie Krug of Hammond, Ind., in the first round of a scheduled six-round bout before the Future City Athletic Club on a foul at St. Louis. Edna G. and Julius Epstein, the latter secretary of the Denver Baseball Club, who for three months have been fighting each other for the custody of their two children in the Denver Juvenile Court, were divorced in the District Court for the second time within a year. Judge Teller gave Mrs. Epstein the decree upon the ground of cruelty, fixing the alimony at $25 a month. GENERAL President-elect Wilson resigned the governorship of New Jersey, to take effect at noon on Saturday, March 1. The wife of Howard Fisher, a carpenter, and three of her children were burned to death in their home in South Huntingdon, Pa. To save the mayor embarrassment, Cleveland's "golden rule" chief of police, Fred Kohler, was suspended by Mayor Newton D. Baker. Seeley Davenport and Jacob Dunn, charged with threatening the life of President-elect Wilson, have entered pleas of not guilty before Judge Cross, in the United States District Court at Trenton. They have been committed to jail without bail to await trial. Cardinal Gibbons received the suffragist army of the Hudson in audience at Baltimore and was presented with a "votes for women" flag by "General" Rosalie Jones, who also expressed the hope that the cardinal would join them in their fight for woman's rights. Joaquin Miller, the "poet of the Sierras," who died at Oakland, Cal., left no will. His widow filed application for letters of administration. She fixes his personal property at $1,000 and the real property "in excess of $10,000." Miller's estate in the Piedmont foothills has been valued at $75,000. In addition he leaves copyrights on his works. FOREIGN. Emilio Madero, a brother of former President Madero, has been shot and killed north of Monterey, according to reliable information received at Mexico City. Hope for immediate peace in Mexico is slight. Rebel activity in the north has increased, and the government's efforts to enter into arrangements with the Zapatistas appear to have failed. The assassination of Juan Sanchez Azcona, private secretary to Madero, has caused all surviving close associates of the murdered president and vice president to flee from the capital of Mexico. The body of ex-Vice President Jose Pino Suarez was order removed to the Spanish cemetery in Mexico City. The request by his family to have the body transported to Yucatan will probably be denied. Dr. Bruce, a brother of Lady Robert F. Scott, widow of the Antarctic explorer, received a wireless dispatch from his sister at London saying that she had just heard of her husband's death and that she was in good health. The widow of Captain Robert F. Scott, the Antarctic explorer, henceforth will be known as Lady Scott. King George bestowed on her "the same rank, style and precedence as if her husband had been nominated a knight commander of the Bath, as he would have been had he survived." COLORADO LEGISLATIVE DOINGS Western Newspaper Union News Service. Asylum Probe Results in Pra Asylum Probe Results in Praise. Denver.—Finding the state remiss in its duty, urging the appropriation of sufficient moneys properly to equip institutions for the care of the feeble-minded and insane, and praising the conduct of all state institutions "with such inadquate facilities," the report of the joint legislative investigating committee was filed in both branches of the assembly.

Objectionable Registration Provisions of Former Bills Omitted. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The Senate by a vote of 24 to 10 passed on final reading the bill providing for the notification of the health authorities of all cases of tuberculosis, and the fumigation of all houses in which deaths from the disease occur. The bill declares tuberculosis to be a contagious disease. The measure is in most respects similar to the one passed by the last Legislature and vetoed by Governor Shafroth. Some of the most objectionable features in the bill passed two years ago, notably the registration of tubercular guests received at hotels, have been eliminated. The Senate refused to concur in the amendments to the Van Tilborg banking bill made by the House and asked for a conference on this measure. The House amended the bill as passed by the Senate so as to allow banks, when given permission by the bank commis sloner, to pay more than four per cent. interest to depositors. The Senate passed on third reading bills to allow the establishment of waterworks districts in unincorporated territory and to provide for the assessment of costs on property in drainage districts in proportion to the benefits received. The water defense fund bill having passed the Senate, the measure will go to Governor E. M. Ammons and when signed by him, the $50,000 appropriated will be available at once for the payment of expenses incurred in preparing for the defence of interstate water suits. Representative B. A. Sweet's bill regulating railroad passenger rates, permitting 2 to 3-cent rates in the plains district and 3 to $3\frac{1}{2}$-cent rates in the mountain districts of the state, was passed on third reading by a vote of 48 ayes and 2 noes. A petition signed by 662 residents of Fremont county, protesting against the division of that county and the creation of the proposed Sunshine county, was read and spread upon the records, as was a memorial introduced by Representative Rowan asking favorable legislation to insure Colorado's representation at the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco in 1915. Senator Van Tilborg's banking bill was taken up on third reading and passed by a vote of 58 ayes, 13 absent. This bill provides for the regulation of capitalization of state banks, giving the state bank commissioner more powers and regulating the payment of interest on deposits. Representative W. H. Andrews' antitrust bill was placed upon third reading and passed by a vote of 48 ayes, 1 no and 16 absent. Bills Introduced in the Senate. S. B. 306, Van Tilborg—Appropriation for state penitentiary.

The bill before the legislature to amend the constitution so as to establish separate schools for whites and blacks is a reactionary measure and should not be seriously considered. Besides the large additional burden such a change would impose on taxpayers, it is out of line with the progress of the century. The measure would intensify the race prejudice feeling, and it would unnecessarily further handle the Negro in his struggle for a more appreciated citizenship. God knows the load of the Negro must carry, however good his citizenship, is heavy enough without adding to it through school distinctions, and without depriving Negro children of much of the advantage that coeducation in the public schools give them. Whatever provocation for ostracism of the blacks from equality of enjoyment of the means of education may exist in the black states of the South, none such exists in the North, especially in Colorado. Ever since Colorado has been a state the children of both races have been educated together, and it will be hard to convince the average mother and father that any harm has come to white children by reason of it. When black and white children play together in almost unrestrained freedom in Southern states, it is hard to believe that they may not be taught and trained in good citizenship together in the same schools. Besides, should this proposed amendment be adopted, one of the conditions imposed by congress when it decreed the conveyance of the East Denver High school block to School District No. 1 would be totally disregarded and might restore the block to the ownership of the United States. The act provides that the block is conveyed to School District No. 1 for high school purposes and that all children shall be admitted to it without regard to race, color or former condition of servitude.—Rocky Mountain News. The News is one of the few daily papers published in the United States that has always been fair and square in treating of the race questions and in all matters concerning the Negro, of which The Colorado Statesman has been an admirer, and we sincerely hope that our thousands of readers will peruse carefully the above editorial. The News has ever championed human rights fearlessly and boldly. While other journals have by inuendo and scareheads held up to ridicule our faults and failures, instead of extending a helping hand. The thoughtful Negroes in Colorado, and they are in the majority, do not now, nor never have desired separate schools, besides the increased expense to the taxpayers, there are many other matters that should be considered. It would work untold disadvantages to the colored students, for one thing, as colored people's homes are scattered in different portions of Denver. It would cause the building of more schools for the use of white and colored pupils, and the few Negro teachers that would thus secure jobs is not to be reckoned with for one moment by sensible people. The Negro has made wonderful strides during his fifty years of freedom and the enjoyment of educational advantages. Ignorant, debased and defiled by slavery, he made his start. Here and there a helping hand has grasped his own, but where one has helped a thousand have discouraged and hindered his progress. With marvelous courage, optimism and faith in God he has pressed on, and never in all history has a race made such progress in a half century. The worthy things that his detractors said he could not do he has done, and the unworthy things predicted of him he has avoided as successfully as the white man. Negroes have established great schools, have become the chief agricultural producers of the South, have acquired millions in property and have achieved success in every profession and calling. Statistics show that a larger proportion of Negroes in Virginia own their own homes than of white people in Massachusetts. In Mississippi and Louisiana there are more Negro farm-owners than white. Throughout the country there are over a third more white paupers per thousand of population than Negro, and the largest percentage of crime is committed by white men. If the leading white papers of the country would follow the lead of the News in treating the question of segregation of the Negro, it would prove a power of good in regulating the sentiment of the masses towards us. The other evening at a simple social function, opened with a game of cards, the host caused quite a stir among the ladies present by announcing after the guests had seated themselves at the tables: "If everybody's made up, we'll start." Self consciously they looked at one another and in voluntarily their hands went to their faces. Among the nations of the world the seven famous Bibles are: The Scriptures of the Christians, the Koran of the Mohammedans, the Eddas of the Scandinavians, the Tripitaka of the Bhuddists, the Five Kings of the Chinese, the Three Vedas of the Hindoos, and the Zendavesta of the Persians. Eskimo Lover Must Travel Rocky Road By ADDIE FARRAR When a young Eskimo has decided to become a family man he marches up to the hut of the young woman of his choice and lies in wait for her. When she appears he seizes her by her long, black hair or by her garments and drags her by force off to his own particular hut of snow and ice, and so they are married. Even if a native Greenlander should propose to his sweetheart his proposal would not be accepted. In the eyes of her Eskimo lover for a girl to accept an offer of marriage would be to shame herself beyond redemption. It is her part to appear unwilling, no matter how she may feel, and every bridegroom is expected to gain his bride by force, either real or pretended. In Lapland as soon as a girl baby is born and has been duly rolled in the snow, a ceremony which takes the place of baptism, her father sets aside for her a certain number of reindeer, branded with her initials, and as they increase and multiply, so does her chance of making a good match, for the maiden with the biggest herd of reindeer is the one that is the greatest belle in Lapland. When some young countryman of this reindeer dowered maiden discovers that she is the one girl in the world for him he goes in search of a faithful friend and a big bottle of brandy. The friend enters the home of the girl's father, opens the bottle of brandy, drinks with him to the health of the family and girl and makes the proposal. Meanwhile the lover is outside trying to curry favor by chopping wood or some other labor. If the brandy so warms the heart of the girl's father that he gives a favorable reply to the proposal the friend goes to the door and calls in the lover and the two young people are permitted to rub noses, the Laplanders' way of kissing. Two or three years after this the marriage takes place, the lover meanwhile working in the service of his future father-in-law. When the wedding day dawns, if there is a priest handy he reads the service, but if not the young woman's father merely strikes a spark from a flint and steel and names the couple man and wife and when either of them dies the steel and flint used at the ceremony are buried with them to keep them warm on the long journey to the better land.

The writer has for many years past made a study of eating and drinking to promote health. My experimenting has been carried on solely for my own benefit and not with a view to publication. I am assuming that practically everyone realizes the value of exercise, rest and fresh air, so that the lack of these is not the cause when we have ailments. Therefore there must be some other cause, as the rule of nature is health and any deviation from it is an indication that we have lived unwisely in some way and I believe that in nine cases out of ten it is the diet that is at fault. For about fifteen years I have not taken medicines of any kind except in the form of food and water and at the same time I have indulged to a limited extent in drinking and smoking for the sociability and pleasure of it. During all this time I have not had a severe cold and when I have had any at all I have believed it due either to overeating or improper elimination of waste or both. In my opinion the cause has been overeating. I have gone without a meal, drunk considerable water and eaten an orange and the cold has gone away. Yet as all ailments run their course I am not so sure whether the cold would have disappeared without the treatment. If I have thought the cold due to inefficient elimination I have eaten fruits with seeds in them, such a raisins and figs, and green vegetables raw, without any spices of any kind, such as lettuce and cucumbers, and also drunk considerable water. Recently I was annoyed by a sore nose and reasoned that this was due to impure blood. I am of the belief that onions are of great value as blood purifiers on account of the sulphur they contain. I do not believe that sulphur in its mineral form is of much value, as the human system cannot readily assimilate anything outside of vegetable or animal food. So I ate about six raw onions in two days and my trouble disappeared. Men tailors have trouble with shoulders, waistbands and legs, but legs are the worst. There isn't one man in ten who can make an affidavit that he is neither knock-knee nor bow-legged. Many Troubles Man Causes Lowly Tailor By J. B. GEHRING, New York Men tailors have trouble with shoulders, waistbands and legs, but legs are the worst. There isn't one man in ten who can make an affidavit that he is neither knock-kneed nor bow-legged. Perfectly straight legs are rare. It's an art to shape fabrics over bow-legs so that they will not show, and no joke to hide the bends of knock-knees. When a man begins to take on weight it shows first at the belt line, then on the shoulders and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs. In the meantime the tailor has his troubles in keeping his customer from looking top-heavy. The tailor is supposed to take an imperfect anatomy and shape garments over it with such nicety as to produce a superb figure. It's a trying job. Legs that are over-long are a source of some complaint. The waist-coat has to be dropped an inch or two in cases like this. There are knees which are fifty per cent. larger than they ought to be—great knuckles of bone that are hard to hide. Then there's the thigh, three times larger at the upper end than at the other. Men created on this model ought to be permitted to wear full-seated knickerbockers. Girls and young women who live in the country or in small villages frequently have only the haziest notions of the details of life in large cities. They are too often deluded into seeking a which then are totally safe Young Women Seek Career in Cities By Fannie M. Enright, Philadelphia Girls and young women who live in the country or in small villages frequently have only the haziest notions of the details of life in large cities. They are too often deluded into seeking a "career" or a living amid surroundings with which they are totally unfamiliar. Then they have to suffer unpleasant consequences. For this reason the commission on social service of the Interchurch federation of Philadelphia has performed a real service by issuing a warning to girls throughout the country not to go to big cities unless they have been assured of honest employment at more than $8 a week. Country girls working on a farm are frequently lured to the city because they think $6 or $7 good wages. Many come to regret their folly. The Interchurch federation found that the average weekly cost of living for a working girl includes rent, with two meals, $5; lunches, $1.20; clothing and incidentals, $1.80. The commission in its statement says that "so many dangers beset the self-supporting woman who has an inadequate wage or is out of employment for any length of time that we feel justified in issuing this caution and warning."

Robert Lewis of 2339 Gilpin street and Gus Travers of 2041 Marion street, returned last Sunday from a five-day tour of northern Colorado, as waiters in the dining car attached to the Colorado Agricultural College Demonstration train. Lewis officiated as head-waiter while Travers was his assistant. Lewis has been in the dining car service of the Colorado and Southern for the last six years and his faithful service, his courtesy, and careful consideration for the patrons of the road were responsible for his being sent out on this special train, where good service in providing the meals for the college professors on board meant the upholding of the excellent reputation of the road, and where poor service would have been disastrous to its good name. Travers has been in the service four years and the same reasons governed his selection. By their attention to every wish of the people on the train, which often took them out of the line of their real duty, both Lewis and Travers made --- warm friends of the demonstrators and newspaper men, who had many warm words of praise for them. THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Fort Collins, Colo. NEGRO CHILDREN'S HOME MAIN TAINED AT ARVADA FARM. In the minds of many interested in charitable work, the Sheridan home at Arvada for Negro children deserves as much encouragement and attention as many of the better equipped homes for orphans in and around Denver. With the exception of the state institutions, it is the only home offered for Negro children. The home is maintained by the Dunkard church, an organization which has established several such institutions. The age limit for the entrance for charges is 18, and all those old enough are sent to the nearby public schools. No charge is made for admission. Since the church board has assumed management, 30 acres of land north of Arvada have been purchased and two buildings erected, one for S. W. Bowman, superintendent, and another for the matron and her charges. Miss Edith Thomas, who has recently returned from an inspection of the home, comments favorably upon the progress made. "The capacity of the home is only 20," said Miss Thomas. "Ten boys and ten girls. At present there are ten boys and one girl. "The building is bare, with no sanitary conveniences, but due to the cheerfulness of the inmates, it has more of a home atmosphere than many wealthier and better equipped institutions. "My knock at the door was answered by a smiling Negro woman, who explained that she had just finished churning. She was surrounded in the kitchen by the entire flock, one of whom was riding a poker, and another winning the Derby astride of a chair. "I marveled at the tidiness and order that prevailed. The matron was the only person to care for the large house and the eleven inmates. It is she who does all their cooking, sewing, washing, cleaning and comforting, and I think no one could blame her if, in her heart she is glad that the 110 fingers of her charges are black, which is a servicable color, as it does not show the dirt."—Republican. CAMPBELL CHAPEL NOTES. Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church, Cor. 23rd and Lawrence Sts., Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D.D., Pastor. Two glorious services were held last Sabbath, at which the following persons were received into membership: Mrs. Jennie Pierson, Miss Jessie Pierson, Mrs. Hattie E. Rosser and Mrs. Rosie Sillen. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered at each service tomorrow. A great day in Zion is promised all who attend. Forty-six persons have been received this quarter to date. Miss Blanch Gipson, a young and faithful member of the church and choir, died Monday morning and will be buried from the church Sunday at 1 p. m. The pastor will hold quarterly meeting at Boulder Sunday afternoon, leaving here at 2 p. m. Some twenty-five persons will be baptized at the church on Easter Sunday. "Love Triumphant," a tale of the first Easteride, will be rendered by the choir at night. The Sabbath school will render their Easter program in the afternoon and lay $25 on the altar for missions. More than $30 was realized in cash and donations from the entertainment given by Miss Thelia Tucker and Mrs. Alberta Kirtley last Monday evening. The thanks of the church are tendered the committee and Mrs. Byrd, who rendered such splendid service. There will be a grand recital given by the choir Tuesday evening. Don't miss it. It will be a real treat. Under the auspices of the joint ushers' boards an elaborate banquet will be served at the church. Thursday evening, March 13th. Mr. O. U. Bray, mailing clerk at the First National bank in Pueblo, Colo., worshipped with us Sunday and was introduced to the congregation. The trustees have moved the pastor to No. 2320 Lawrence street, where it is thought, that by reason of the better sanitary conditions, his health will be greatly improved.

The Holy Communion will be celebrated at the morning service. Shorter closed a most successful revival on the evening of the 25th with the spiritual tide at high-water mark, and the membership was considerably enlarged. One of the notable features of the meeting was the splendid manner of young men who accepted Christ and united with church. Perhaps no visiting minister in recent years rendered more effective service for Denver and made a deeper impression for good than did Rev. Dr. S. G. Means. His simple and direct method of presenting the gospel and his great earnestness along with his natural powers sent the truth home to the hearers with a force that was almost irresistable. He is a hard worker and he counts no sacrifice too great to make in order to save a soul. He preached every night during the meeting and on Sundays he spoke at five different services. The membership of Shorter did itself credit no less in the splendid hospitality shown Dr. Means than in the large attendance on the meetings given and the good amount of personal work done. Among those who entertained the evangelist and the pastor and family at their homes are the following: Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. D. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Pierson, Mrs. Lucy Breedlove, Mrs. Isabel Stewart and the stewardess and deaconess boards. The meeting for women only, Sunday afternoon, was well attended and a big success. The mass meeting for children Tuesday evening drew out a splendid audience and two accepted Christ and took membership with Shorter Dr. Means received urgent invitations to conduct meetings in Pueblo for Rev. J. B. Holmes and in Salt Lake City for Rev. A. Newman, but pressing demands of his own charge forbade his acceptance. He left Wednesday morning for Columbus, Ga. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.

An anchor of the Spanish armada period, recovered from the Wallett, a well-known "swatchway," three miles off Clacton, England, has been presented to Colchester (Essex) Museum. For generations this anchor has been an enemy to the trawls of local fishermen, but at length one of the flukes became worn partially away, and the last trawl that struck it thus lifted it from the ground. Beneficial Stimulant. The coca leaf is highly prized by the native of Bolivia as a stimulant. He chews it like tobacco, but with a better excuse, since by its use he can perform great feats of endurance and go many hours without food. With a pouch of cocoa leaves and a small bag of parched corn he can run fifty miles a day. Fleet-footed Indians constitute the telegraph service of the country. Well Answered. When he once asked a London class of girls, added Dr. Macnamara, what they would say if he told them he saw the sun rise in the west, he got the reply that it was impossible. "But," he persevered. "supposing I still declared I had seen the sun rise in the west?" "Well," one of the girls at length replied, "I should think you must have got up rather late." Speak in Truth.

HOWS AND MUSIC for Intending Travelers BEFORE winter has fairly set in, costumes and milliners in the north are busy designing apparel for southern tourists. And no sooner are the holidays over than those fortunate enough to turn their backs upon blustering cold provide themselves with gowns and wraps and millinery made for their use. They may choose from some marvels of lovely gowns in embroidered white materials, combined with laces and chiffons. These summer gowns to be worn in winter time, often have odd little touches which put them in a class by themselves. One may see among them fine batiste made up with Cluny lace and hand embroidered, finished with the narrowest of fur bands. Or gowns of which the upper two-thirds is made of embroidered voile and the lower third of heavy but supple satin. Lingerie blouses and soft silk shirtwaists are in great demand and the plain but handsome tailored gown of cloth is in the height of its glory. There is a great variety in hats to choose from, with Milans and Leghorns always liked, and each season bringing in some new fad in color or trimming. Milan and hemp hats in white or natural straw color faced with black velvet and trimmed with white ribbon or feathers (or both) can be found in many different shapes and sizes. There are flower trimmed Leghorns and hems and many hats made of braids, narrow laces and more especially of thin fabrics. Crepe Français, crepe Georgette and malines furnish the most novel and beautiful of the new models in made hats. For general wear the two hats shown here are fine examples of correct millinery for the southern tourist. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Afternoon Costumes Are Becoming More and More Attractive to the Devotees of Fashion. The new tea gowns promise to be very fascinating; every year they become more and more fashionable with the elegant Parisiennes, who have got into the habit of putting them on at their afternoon tea receptions. I saw a charming model which had been carried out in white chiffon. The skirt was particularly pretty and graceful, hanging in the softest of straight folds. Just a pretty drapery of chiffon was wound about the arm and did duty for the sleeves of the bodice, which was also of white chiffon. The striking feature of this garment was the peplum of fine black chantilly lace of an exquisitely graceful design; it was attached to the back of the left shoulder, and continued all round to the right side of the front of the bodice. The lower part of the peplum was left without drapery, so that it formed a tunic. Another charming model was a study of deep orange and white; the foundation dress in this case was of white chiffon and quite transparent. Over this was a rich Grecian drapery of deep orange-colored crepe de chine, which fell from the shoulder and was continued across the bodice. The front was carried out in artistic folds almost to the hem; they were raised half-way up the skirt at the back, and were held in place by a buckle made of orange crepe de chine.—Chicago Inter Ocean. CARRY COSTLY VANITY CASES Elegance of These Dainty Appointments Are Limited Only by the Depth of One's Purse. For the woman who adores daftiness in small belongings there are cases which will consume whatever pin money she has to spare. In the loveliest enamels, surfacing gold or silver, she may have—at a price that is just a bit staggering—a vanity box containing an enamelled mirror, a powder puff, a rouge receptacle and one manicure implement. Encased in the same enameled metals she may have a purse fitted with compartments for change coins of various denominations. And she may also have a square flat receptacle for visiting cards and memorandum tablet. Of the same size and shape, but slightly convexed, is an enameled cigarette holder, and this, most luxurious looking of all the cases, clasps with a jewel which not infrequently is of purest water. Molre-finished gun is the very latest metal devoted to vanity boxes, change purses, card cases and cigarette holders. But although their appearance is one of subdued elegance and ultra refinement, they have not the somber look of plain gun, for the watery surface is in itself ornamental and all of the trimmings, so-called—meaning the edges, the hinges and the clasps, are of polished silver. Molre-finished gun is the smart finish for bracelet watches and for sunshade handles, and it makes a stunning frame for the photograph of an elderly person. Artificial Flowers. Artificial flowers are used in every possible way on all occasions. No one flower leads in popularity. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Costume of Characteristic Design That Will Find Favor With the Well-Dressed Woman. This is a style that would look well made up in any colored cloth. The skirt has a wrapped seam down the left front, trimmed with buttons set closely together; a wide paucel is taken down the back. The coat has the edge of front taken in a line with seam on skirt. Small panels are arranged at the side THE LADY'S COAT of basque; they stand up over the band at waist; this is of black satin to match the collar and cuffs. Drake hat with a brim of fur and cloth crown, trimmed at left side by an algrette. Materials required: 5 yards cloth 48 inches wide, $ \frac{3}{4} $ yard satin 20 inches wide, 3 dozen buttons, $ \frac{5}{12} $ yards silk or satin for lining coat. Beaded Robes Over Soft Foundations. Any woman nowadays may have a resplendent evening gown $ \frac{1}{2} $ she chooses. All that is necessary is to have one's dressmaker fashion simple, clinging foundation gown or some soft silken fabric, and to slip over it one of the beaded net or chiffon robes, which need no fitting further than a drawing in of the sheer material at the waist under a sash or girdle. Contrasting Sleeves Sleeves in a different material from the rest of the dress are a novelty. The long velvet or damask sleeves which match the dress in color, and have soft frills over the hairstyle are charming. ATTRACTS A BIG CROWD MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN THE DEAD LETTER AUCTION. Lots Disposed Of at the Rate of 150 an Hour—Few Bring More Than $2 —Bargain Seekers Crowded Into a Long Room. At the rapid rate of 150 lots an hour, auctioneers the other day, disposed of dead letter packages at the first day of the sale in the rooms of C. G. Sloan & Co., 1407 G street. The packages were not sold, "sight unseen," but it was hardly more than a fleeting glance given to prospective buyers. U.S. CAPITOL letter sales, were ruled by the United States attorney for the District of Columbia to be a violation of the District of Columbia lottery laws. The postmaster-general directed that the contents of all packages be exhibited at the sale. About 500 bargain seekers were crowded into the long room. About half this number found seats, while the others stood far away from the auctioneer in the back or on the stairway, on the side of the room, leaning over the rail. About 300 catalogues were distributed to do duty in the throng. Not more than half a dozen of the 300 packages sold before noon brought as much at $2 each. The auctioneers accepted only an initial bid of 50 cents, and permitted ten-cent advances. At times the bidding was spirited. Those in the rear of the room had some difficulty in receiving recognition. No description of the contents of the package was given by the auctioneer. "Here is something fine," or "this is a bright lot," was the occasional comment, without especial significance as regarded the offering. Two supposedly fine razors, a pain of white suede long gloves, a Marseille bed spread and two assorted packages hit the high spots on prices brought. Not one of them, however, was sold for more than $2.50. A heterogeneous variety of materials was the result of Uncle Sam's collection during the year of articles lost in the mail. There were powder cloths, playing cards, opera glasses, watches, laces, shoes, slippers, children's clothing, lingerie, feathers, furs and furbelows, haberdashery, silks, satins, woolens, calicos, cottones, etc., in the piece and made up; pictures and frames; embroideries, crochets, appliques, stationery, jewelry, musical instruments, music records for gramophone and sheet music, tobacco in its varied forms, and pipes and cigar holders, fountain pens and typewriter ribbons and a miscellany impossible to enumerate. MRS. ANTHONY DONS GEM Capital Society Sees the Famous New Jewel Sensation and $100,000 Necklace. Mrs. Charles H. Anthony from Muncle, Ind., who has been referred to as the "human sunburst," wore a dazzling array of diamonds at the White House the other night during the congressional reception. Mrs. Anthony was the originator of the diamond heels so many society women* are wearing now and she has passed on to other sartorial glories. The piece de resistance of her diamond display the other night was her famous diamond armist. A new feature was a diamond necklace made of superb stones, which cost $100,000. The loops in her beautiful gown of champeeche satin crusted with seed pearls and crystals were caught with diamond-studded safety pins. Mrs. Anthony admitted that all her priceless imported lingerie was fastened with the same precious gems. She carried a huge white ostrich fan mounted on real ivory sticks imported from India. Naturally Mrs. Anthony was the cynosure of all eyes and soon earned the appellation of the diamond lady. One of the largest crowds that ever attended a White House reception watched the dignitaries of the house and senate bid official farewell to President and Mrs. Taft. Many of the congressional people stayed for the dancing, which began at eleven o'clock. A picturesque pair was Uncle Joe Cannon and his pretty debutante granddaughter, Virginia Le Seure, who danced a merry round of dances and even ventured upon a mild form of the turkey trot. Had His Warning. "When are you going to Trenton to see Governor Wilson?" asked a friend of Senator Shively of Indiana the other day. "I am not going," replied the senator, with emphasis and brevity. "Why not?" persisted the inquisitive one. "Well," answered Mr. Shively, I have had my warning. Lee Overman went to Trenton and came back with appendicitis. Hoke Smith went over and returned with lockjaw. I will stay away from Trenton." CUTS DOWN OLD SYCAMORE Mrs. John B. Henderson Could Not See Runaway, So She Removes the Obstruction. Because a big, half-dead sycamore tree on a government reservation obstructed her view from her residence, "Henderson castle," Mrs. John B. Henderson, wife of ex-Senator Henderson and prominent Washington society woman, with two husky black laborers and a cross cut saw, removed the sycamore. Mrs. Henderson held a lantern for the workmen. Three pollie stood by and by word protested. They had been warned by Mrs. Henderson that if they carried their protest so far as to lay violent hands on her she would make them regret it. Mrs. Henderson lives in the famous "Henderson castle," which is on the brow of the hill topping Sixteenth street, Washington's most fashionable thoroughfare, and sometimes referred to as "the avenue of presidents." It was through Mrs. Henderson's money and influence that this part of Sixteenth street was extended and improved. Adjoining the Henderson property is that of the French embassy, the home of Alfred Vanderbilt and of former Ambassador Henry White. The sycamore, according to Mrs. Henderson, has been slowly dying for the last five years and it is now more than half dead. She asked the superintendent of trees and parks to cut down the tree. He refused. The other evening she was in the window of the "castle" when the horse ridden by Miss Martha Bowers ran away. The runaway horse and its clinging rider were seen by Mrs. Henderson as they passed the latter's home. The big sycamore prevented her seeing the accident to the horse and rider at the foot of the hill. It is not known what the superintendent of parks and grounds is going to do. ADOPT OCCIDENTAL DRESS For First Time Diplomatic Representatives of China at Wearing Western Clothes. For the first time the diplomatic representatives of China at Washington are wearing occidental dress. Society is keenly intrested in Mme. Chang and the Misses Alice and Lillian Chang, wife and daughters of the minister of China, who have fitted themselves out with a splendid collection of Parisian frocks and furbels. Mme. Chang and her daughters made their first appearance in occidental costume at the recent dinner given by President and Mrs. Taft for the diplomatic corps and the three Chinese gentlewomen wore frocks in which they made their first state appearance as typical daughters of the new republic of China. Although only a year ago they were going about in their gorgeously picturesque native dress, heavy with embroideries and flecked with gems. Mme. Chang and her daughters, the latter of the accepted American debutante age, have cleverly adapted themselves to the new apparel. Their heads, formerly wound with shining braids, kept in place by jeweled pins, and hitherto innocent of hats, are nowadays smartly coiffed and crowned with plumed creations from New York and Paris; their forms, hitherto innocent of stays, are now properly fitted with the latest approved models, and their feet, erstwhile incased in Chinese slippers, with gemmed and embroidered embellishment, are now adorned with smart colonialis touched off with glittering buckles, or in patient leather oxfordes surmounted with light colored spats. FORT TO GUARD WASHINGTON Gen. W. H. Bixby Urges the Establishment of Adequate Defense at Cape Henry. A great fortification at Cape Henry, with guns which would sweep the mouth of the Chesapeake bay and stand as an efficient guard against attacks on the city of Washington by a hostile fleet, was asked for by Gen. W. H. Bixby, chief of engineers, U. S. A., who appeared before the fortifications subcommittee of the house appropriations committee the other day. The meeting was an executive one. The amount of money asked for in the initial appropriation for the proposed fortification is $150,000, which would perhaps do little more than buy the site which the army wants for the purpose. This amount is but one of the proposed appropriations which the army officers want, and altogether the new projects proposed by them would cost almost double the amount of the fortifications bill for the present year. The total of the estimated needs of the coast defenses for the United States and island possessions, excluding the isthmian canal, amounts to $7,009,834, while the present appropriation act carries a little over $4,000,000. With Gen. Bixby were Gen. Leonard Wood, Gen. Weaver and Col. Burr. The fortifications subcommittee is composed of Representative Swager Sherley of Kentucky, chairman, and Representatives Rauch, Kinkead, Dwight and Good. Home Knit Gloves A pair of knit wool gloves made by Mrs. Louis Sorr, ninety-four years old, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has been received at the White House. The gift was accompanied by a letter from Mrs. Sorr, in which she said that she knit the gloves herself, and hoped the president would accept "her humble gift."

It manifests itself in various deeds and various forms of speech, deceptive in tendency and misleading as to the things which affect our being. There are, in every walk and every condition of human existence, numerous short-comings by which our careers are hampered; and these emerge from sources from whence they should be least expected. Deficient in those sterling principles which should influence actions, they establish dangerous precedences, thus weaving entanglements out of which it is not easy to escape. Truthful natures are often imposed upon, because, ever viewing the brighter side of individual conduct, they fail to exercise vigilance to protect themselves against chicanery. Many ardent hopes are blighted and useful undertakings brought to an inglorious end because honeyed tongues, backed by bold affrontery, mislead the unwary and abandon them to their fate, whenever their selfish designs are secured. When plans for personal gratification are enacted small notice of another's weal is taken; and every move on the chess board of human expectancy is devoted to selfish ends. There is much in our racial contact that requires to be considered; and although disappointments are parts of a common heritage, much may be averted by a timely stroke. Falsity to obligations often places at a disadvantage him who desires to wear the garb of manhood and push the wheels of progress. There should be, on the part of every man, a wholesome respect for justice, truth and honesty; but these are at times unwillingly prevented because the agencies with which they have to deal are fickle, unstable and untrue. Sad happenings result from the failure of man in relation to his brethren, and lessen energy by checking aspirations. Who falters not, is a hero; and all services performed in accordance with the requirements of duty enhance and increase his importance. Practical every day observance of sacred vows has a noble rating and establishes a confidence which proves to be a wall of defense. There would be fewer hardships if men would strictly adhere to the right and let their honor shine.—Ethiopian Phalanx. Booker T. Washington wins and holds the people because he aids them, in ways of development, by extending gratuitious service; and that which he has accomplished will live imperishable through the lapse of centuries when flowered rhetoric for a stipulated fee, extolling the achievements of by-gone days, shall have died and been forgotten. There are means of helping the race aside from wordy encouragement. Example is far greater than precept in human elevation; and he, who sets it, is a greater benefactor to mankind than all the flood of honeyed eloquence with which the world is supplied. Indians are no longer supported by the United States government at Hampton institute, because of government opposition to red and black men mixing. Since Indians can mix with whites, it is possibly thought that they are too good to mix with blacks. Hampton will still be open to red men however. As a sequel to the long drawn out abduction case against Bishop Elias Cotrell of Holly Springs, Miss., Judge J. W. Palmer, presiding over the second division of the criminal court, gave the jury preemptory instructions to bring in a verdict of not guilty after having heard the evidence the state had to offer. The bishop will publish the full text of his vindication soon. It is getting late in the day to find a colored man or woman who is opposed to race enterprise, but as late as it is there are a number of our children and their demands for places to work other than as servants for the dominant race is but noise to their ears. Let us hope that they will yet turn from their wickedness and live. The Fulton county commission has definitely decided to locate near Atlanta, Ga., a reformatory for colored boys. A tract of land is to be purchased comprising of 438 acres at $55 per acre, totaling $23,050. Frame buildings are to be erected to accommodate 200 boys whose work will render the institution self-supporting. When a man discovers that he has but a lone nickel in his pocket after boarding a down town car in the morning, it is a sign his wife is a frenzied financier. Probably a man never appreciates his wife so clearly as when he wants to use her as an excuse for not going to war. A sliding grip for a rake handle, to avoid blistering the hand that guides the tool, has been patented by a New Jersey man. The negro Baptists of the country, two and one-half million, will hold semi-centennial services in connection with the September meeting of the National Baptist convention. Progress of the denomination during the last 50 years will be shown by exhibits, statistics, pictures and other material evidences. This was the decision reached by the executive committee of the National Baptist convention at a called meeting held at Tuskegee institute, Alabama. A commission, composed of one member from each state, will co-operate with the Baptist bodies of each state, under the direction of the president of the national convention, and collect the materials for the exposition. Details will be worked out by the commission, President C. E. Morris concurring. The project will be financed by private donations and public subscriptions. The executive committee pledged $1,000, including $200 pledged by Dr. Booker T. Washington, $100 by Dr. E. C. Morris, $50 by Dr. Jordan, and $25 by each of the other members of the committee. The commissioners will be appointed by President Morris. In all probability the meeting of the convention will be held in Nashville, Tenn. The executive committee was unanimous in the opinion that the exposition should be held. By special invitation Doctor Washington remained with the committee throughout its sessions and offered important suggestions which were freely accepted. It was carefully estimated that it will require $2,500 to finance the exposition scheme. The meeting was attended by Doctor Morris, president, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., vice-president, Philadelphia; Rev. T. O. Fuller, assistant secretary, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. A. J. Stokes, treasurer, Montgomery, Ala.; Rev. J. P. Robinson, chairman home mission board, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. T. J. Searcy, chairman educational board, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev. R. H. Boyd, secretary publishing and home mission boards, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. P. James Bryant, chairman Baptist Young People's board, Atlanta, Ga.; Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary foreign mission board, Philadelphia; Rev. C. H. Parrish, chairman foreign mission board, Louisville, Ky.; Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, editor Union Review, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. A. A. Cosey, member benefit board, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Prof. R. B. Hudson, general recording secretary, Selma, Ala. Of the 23,000 inhabitants in Meridian, Miss., 10,000 are negroes. Fifty per cent of these 10,000, it is estimated, own their homes. There are among the negro business men one photographer, one fruit dealer, one firm of undertakers, one milliner, one blacksmith, two drug stores, two doctors, four dentists, three shoemakers, two restaurants, six barber shops, four dressmakers, two real estate men, four contractors, two markets, four men running hack lines, ten tailors and twelve grocers. Mr. Thomas Galloway of Ware, Alabama, is an example of what a thrifty industrious negro farmer can do in the south. He owns 685 acres of land west of Ware, 80 acres six miles east of Ware. He is at the head of three turpentine farms with the home office at Ware, Alabama. He has seven renters and one share-cropper on his place and advances money to five of them. He states that he accumulated this amount in five years. Mr. Galloway, his wife and children all work together. L. Arthur Headen enjoys the distinction of being the only licensed negro aviator in the world. Headen is thirty-one years old and a native of Carthage, N. C. He became interested in aviation, and, after inventing a device which he claims will prevent a biplane turning turtle in the air, decided to learn to fly so as to demonstrate the utility of his device. He was refused admission to aviation schools in America and went to Mavre, France, where he finished in the school of the Francaise Aviation company and was awarded a license as an aviator for the French government. Headen says he has applied to enter several aviation contests since his return to America, but has received no encouragement from the contest managers, and will devote himself to independent exhibitions and long-distance flights. The negro Baptists of North Carolina support 28 secondary schools of that state. The total number enrolled in these schools is 3,346 pupils. Last year the state Baptists contributed $23,200. These schools have acquired property valued at $123,762. In the new year the so-called big negro should undertake to bring his examples up to his precept. He has learned to support race enterprises with his mouth. He has learned to work his lungs overtime in the effort to induce the world through high-sounding words that he believes in and is proud of his race. In 1913 let him shut off his mouth and get down to business. In other words, let him spend his money with his people, and the establishments now fighting for a mere existence will begin to bloom and blossom as the rose. Summary of Results of Thirteenth U. S. Census. Digested Information of Interest to People—Number, Acreage and Value of Farms—Regarded as Most Comprehensive Ever Issued. Washington.—A condensed summary of the results of the thirteenth census of the United States has just been issued by the bureau of the census, the summary (or abstract), according to a statement of Director E. Dana Durand, being the most comprehensive ever issued by the bureau of the census. It contains digested and condensed information as to the number and geographical distribution of the nearly ninety-two million inhabitants of the country, their race, nativity, nativity of parents, sex, age, marital condition, state of birth of natives and country of birth of foreign inhabitants, citizenship, school attendance, illiteracy, dwellings and families. It shows the number, acreage and value of farms; the number and value of live stock; the acreage, production and value of the various crops, and the production and value of dairy and other farm products. It contains statistics regarding the manufacturing, mining and quarrying industries, showing capital invested, quantity and cost of materials, wages and other expenses, quantity and value of products, number of employees and other important information. Statistics on all subjects are presented for every state and, where applicable, for every large city. Throughout the volume are maps and diagrams illustrating the tables. The abstract is a very different document from any ever published in connection with the preceding censuses, and Director Durand expresses the belief that it will prove the most useful census publication ever issued, not only to students and professional statisticians, but also and more particularly to the business man, the farmer and the public generally. In commenting upon some of the features of this volume, Director Durand, in a statement issued the other day, says: "Among the new features of the present abstract is the emphasis that has been laid upon the geographical divisions of the country. On account E. Dana Durand. of the large number of states, it is usually very difficult to grasp the broad geographical differences regarding population, agriculture and manufactures by means of comparisons among individual states and particularly so when they are arranged alphabetically and thus separated from those with which they are geographically related. For this reason the states have been grouped into nine well recognized geographical divisions. Full statistics with necessary comments are presented for these divisions. Besides, in the tables of statistics by states the latter are grouped geographically, thus permitting easy comparison among neighboring states. "Again, in the population statistics in the abstract, details as to each subject are given for urban and rural communities separately. Fundamental differences in industrial and social life between cities and rural districts result in marked differences in the composition and characteristics of the population. In many cases it is impossible to understand the differences between states or sections of the country except through this distinction between urban and rural population. Very little use of this important distinction was made in the population statistics of previous censuses." The most important departure from previous methods of publication made at the thirteenth census is the inclusion with the abstract of a supplement giving details for the particular state in which the person receiving the volume resides. This new feature is likely to meet with marked approval from the general public. It seems that the abstract is being issued in some fifty different editions with supplements for the different states. This scheme combines the advantages of a condensed report of the most general results of the census with those of a detailed report for the counties, cities and other minor civil divisions. Fire of Enthusiasm "Do you know what it means to be fired with enthusiasm?" asked the suffrage evangelist. "Yes; my last three bosses all showed unmistakable enthusiasm in firing me," replied the stenographer. OIL OUTPUT SLUMPS The United States supplied nearly two-thirds of the one million barrels of oil consumed daily during the past year, and produced 220,200,000 42-gallon barrels, or about 250,000 barrels less than in 1911. The output last year was valued at $150,000,000, an increase of $16,000,000 over that of the previous year. David T. Day, director of the Uuntited States geological survey, in his annual report of the petroleum industry, says the year was filled with remarkable incidents. The eastern oil fields, as a rule, he says, declined in production, because it was impossible to keep up with the great output of 1911 without large additional discoveries of new pools in the older fields. Its decline, however, was offset by the increase in California. In all the fields, except California and the Gulf of Mexico, there was a steady drain on the accumulated stocks during the year, which declined from 81,789,390 to 69,000,000 barrels. The advent of internal combustion engines, says Mr. Day, promises an increase in the price of fuel oils. The general use of these engines abroad has pointed the way to a rapid increase in their use here, he says. Prices advanced so greatly during the year as to stimulate drilling, even in the old New York and Pennsylvania pools. In the Appalachian fields prices rose from $1.30 to $2.00 a barrel. One feature tending to strengthen the position of oil in the United States was the decrease of about 6,183,000 barrels in the production in Russia. Roumania increased its product slightly. INVESTIGATE LAND VALUES. The division of information of the bureau of immigration is investigating labor conditions and land values throughout the United States with a view to helping persons find small tracts of farm land. The purpose of the immigration officials is to stem the tide of American emigration to Canada and to hold the foreigners who come here, work and make money and go back to the old country to spend it. Plenty of large tracts of land are advertised, but the bureau finds it difficult to get information about five, ten and fifteen-acre tracts. When asked if the department of commerce and labor had anything similar to an employers' agency the officials explained that they could not undertake to locate work and assign workmen, but if laborers apply for general information as to where railroad, farm and other work can be had they will be given the benefit of general information as to the labor market and where work is to be had. The bureau of immigration is trying to get Americans to buy lands in the United States instead of going to Canada, and to get emigrants to go west and south instead of crowding in the cities of the east. If the program of the bureau works out well Commisisoner O'Keele thinks the cost of living will be lowered by bringing into good use much land that is now lying idle. MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS. Race statistics of the last census were discussed by E. Dana Durand, director of the census, in an address delivered before a meeting of the Anthropological society the other day at the New National museum. "During the decade from 1900 to 1910 the white population of the United States increased 22 per cent., while the colored increased only 11 per cent., and most of this difference was due to the immigration of the former in the absence of which the whites would have increased only about 14 per cent." Mr. Durand said. "The Indian," continued the speaker, "has increased about 12 per cent., the Chinese have decreased in numbers, and the Japanese have nearly trebled." "In practically every census taken the whites have shown a more rapid increase than the colored," said Mr. Durand. "There has been no great migration of the negroes from the south, and nine-tenths of their total number are found in that section. The natural rate of increase—that is, the excess of births over deaths among the white population of the south—is much higher than that of the colored, and of the whites in the north "Among all classes of the population the births of boys have exceeded that of the girls, but equality appears to be brought about by a higher death rate among the males." "O. U. Kid?" Representative Oscar Underwood, who has just turned fifty years and looks ten years younger, entered the grandfather class the other day. Mr. Underwood's son, who lives in Birmingham, Ala., telegraphed the house leader that he is the father of a bouncing girl. Mr. Underwood was advised also that one of his admirers whose last name is Kidd had named his latest arrival Oscar Underwood Kidd. "I wonder if they'll call him 'O. U. Kid?' Mr. Underwood remarked to his secretary. Spur of the Pack. "The influence and spur of the pack is very manifest," says Allan Hoben, professor of homiletics in the University of Chicago, "and often gets the boy into trouble. But, like every other power, if it can be given into the hands of a competent leader, it may be made a power for good in moral development and in civic service."

He was 76 years old, and is believed to have been the last survivor of the 600 who made the famous cavalry charge in the battle of Balaklava, in the Crimean war. Prior to eighteen months ago Daynes had lived in Colorado Springs a number of years. Christian Bisgaard, a porter, living at 1726 Thirty-fifth street, Denver, was scrubbing the floor of the Symes building, when he received word from the Danish consul that $80,900 in cash was awaiting him from the settlement of his father's and sister's estates in Copenhagen.

When Succulent Relish is Unobtainable, Fried Radishes, Properly Prepared, Are a Good Substitute. Mushrooms are fast becoming a necessity in the household of epicures, but there always comes a time when fresh ones are not obtainable and when a spice of a little extra elegance is needed for the larder, or to add a flavor to a grilled steak or a succulent chop, a good substitute for the champignon is found in fried radishes, peeled, and browned in plenty of butter. When brown and tender, arrange around the meat and send into the table, and wait for the exclamations of surprise as the similarity of flavor is noted. Oftentimes if the guests are not apprised, the substitution will pass unnoticed. Compotes of winter fruits properly prepared help over that interval after the departure of the grape and other fresh fruits, when the palate craves the pleasant tart of nature's tonic to the system. The French housewife makes an intricate study of the preparation of her conserves and marmalades, and her attractive dishes of jams made from peaches, rhubarb and pineapple, flavored oranges and apples, prunes and gooseberries are a revelation to the American housekeeper who has, perhaps, taken less time to devote to the study of her table at this season. Many Americans who prepare and stew their fruit daintily enough fall completely in one of the most important points of serving through which an otherwise alluring dish is often spoiled. Compotes should be served either hot or thoroughly chilled, and not as occasionally with us, lukewarm. Serve even the matutinal dish of stewed prunes from the ice chest with one or two green grape leaves under their glass dish, and see how much the flavor of this pleeblan dish is improved. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Blankets, after being washed and dried thoroughly, should be well beaten with a carpet beater. Wood alcohol will take vaseline stains from wash goods. Soak them a few minutes in the alcohol. Kerosene is not so explosive as it is inflammable, but it should never be brought in contact with fire. If you have a jabot which is troublesome to iron, baste the plaits before it is washed, then iron and remove the threads. Use fine thread. Towels should not be put in the guest room when they are brand new. Use them until they have been laundered several times and lose their stiffness. To wind a curtain, remove it from the brackets, wind it up by hand and then put it into the brackets and pull it out full length. Repeat if necessary. If you rinse a plate with cold water before breaking the eggs on it, add to them a pinch of salt and then stand where there is a current of air, and you will have no difficulty in beating them to a froth. Danger in a Dark Kitchen. No man has a right to expect a woman to keep a sweet heart and a cheerful mind and live in a house bare of comfort and beauty and work in a dark kitchen. Too many farmers when building a house never consult their wives, take no thought of their comfort or convenience, and leave the kitchen the last thing to be considered if it is considered at all. And if asked to spend money on decorating the home would actually feel abused! A woman's life in the country is often necessarily lonely and she ought to have the very sunniest, most pleasant rooms in the house for her sitting-room and kitchen. Most farm wives spend two-thirds of their waking hours in the kitchen, and no money, spent in making this place one of convenience and comfort can ever be wasted. Hot Cross Buns. Sift together one quart flour, half teaspoon salt, one cup sugar, three scant teaspoons baking powder. Rub in half cup butter, add half pound cleaned raisins or currants, half teaspoon nutmeg, half teaspoon allspice, quarter pound cut citron. Beat two eggs and add half cup milk and stir into dry mixture, adding enough milk to mix to a firm dough, mold into round buns, lay two inches apart on greased pans, brush with milk, cut cross on each, sprinkle, cut with granulated sugar and make in hot oven. New Asparagus Dish. A delicious variation for asparagus is to bake it in a cream sauce. Cook in salted water until tender, drain, put in a butter baking dish and pour enough cream sauce over to cover. Sprinkle with grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese and a few bits of butter, and brown in the oven. Makes Wool Light. After your blankets have been washed and dried thoroughly beat them vigorously with a carpet beater. This makes the wool light and soft and gives the blankets a new, fresh appearance. Minute Biscuit One pint of sour buttermilk, one teaspoon soda, two teaspoons melted butter, flour to make a soft dough just stiff enough to handle. Mix, roll and cut out rapidly with as little handling as may be. Bake in a quick oven. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
