LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY "JIM CR ME Many Anti-Negro Bills Introduce Jack Johnson Incident is "JIM CROW" MEASURES Many Anti-Negro Bills Introduced in the Illinois Legislature. The Jack Johnson Incident is Said to be Blamed for the Introduction of Such Bills. Springfield, Ill., March 20—To date seven bills have been introduced in the Illinois Legislature, all of them antagonistic to the Negro. They are known as the Shaw Bill, the Campbell Bill, the Foster Bill, the Poorman Bill, the Hollenbeck Bill, the Karch Bill and Full Crew Bill. With the exception of the latter, the sponsors for these measures place the blame for their action upon the Jack Johnson incident. The Campbell Bill seeks to establish the "Jim Crow" car on the transportation lines in Illinois, especially on the street cars of Chicago and the other large cities. The Full Crew Bill will eliminate the railroad porter, and is believed to be the first step in the thorough elimination of Negroes in railroad service. The other five measures aim at the prevention of marriage between Negroes and whites, thus permitting illicit intercourse and wholesale miscegenation. It is significant that these bills have been introduced by Democratic, Republican and Progressive members of the Legislature. The Full Crew Bill has been made a party measure by the Progressive party What is still more significant is the attitude of the so-called friends of the Negro. They are not anxious to assert themselves at Springfield. The opposition is thoroughly active and gaining force. The Negro having no membership in the Legislature and no leader in either of the two parties, with whom is anxious to voice his position, is in a dangerous position. The whole atmosphere at Springfield is anti-Negro. Race prejudice is more rampant, more vulgar and more arrogant in the State Capital of Illinois than in the City of Louisville, Ky., and many other of the metropolitan cities south of Mason and Dixon's line. Unfortunately, the colored people quietly accept these conditions. Your correspondent is speaking as a whole. There may be, and there are many individuals who chafe under the state of things, but up to the present, there has been no organized effort to protest against this backward civic attitude. When one walks along the streets and hears the "barker" for a five-cent theatre yelling out brazenly "Show for white folks only," goes to the leading theatre in the VOL. XIX. city and is only permitted to buy a seat in the "Jim Crow" gallery, you get a fair idea of Springfield, Upon this anti-race poison, the sensationalist feeds from the moment he enters the State Capital until he leaves. V1RGINIA HAS HEALTH CAMPAIGN Hampton, Va., March 21.—The Race Organization Society of Virginia issues a state-wide call for "Clean-up Day" on April 14. People of the race are asked to give a thorough cleaning inside and outside, to their dwellings, barns and outhouses; clean their yards, whitewash or paint their houses and fences; guard against an impure water supply, and do everything they can to make their houses and bodies thoroughly clean and proof against disease. The State Board of Health has agreed to publish and distribute free of charge a special bulletin— "Health and Handbook for Colored People"—which will be mailed to leading teachers and ministers with a personal request that the printed instructions be carried into effect. White people having servants about them are asked to co-operate in this health campaign. Consumption, typhoid fever, hook-worm and intestinal diseases of children are destroying many lives. This loss is needless. Intelligent, self-reliant, and self-sacrificing members of the race of Virginia will co-operate with the Organization Society to check the present ravages of disease. "Clean-up Day" is the beginning of an organized movement for fighting filth, disease, and death. Preachers and teachers will bring together the people of their several communities not later than the first week of April to create interest in this practical health campaign and arrange plans so that on April 14 everything will be in readiness for "Clean-up Day." At the preliminary meetings the state handbook will be discussed. The Atlanta Mutual Life Insurance Company is reporting a surplus of $28,096,54, with $13,000 bonds and an annual income of $200,000.

How to acquire wealth in a sane, safe and honorable way is the question every man must face. Men's tastes and talents differ so widely that it makes it a difficult task to instruct them, but one of the surest rounds to fortune is in acquiring property. The temptations to speculate are so great and the desire to become rich so strong that eight out of ten young men are wrecked at the very beginning of life. If a man is earning something above his expenses, he is sure either to increase his expenses or speculate or lend money to his friends. In the latter case he is likely to loose both the money and friend, so that the best thing he can do is to have an object or place to put his surplus the moment it comes into his hands. The best place to put it is in real estate. This does two things: It makes you study where the greatest and quickest improvements will be made, thereby acquaintying you with the progress of the city and identifying you with its interest, and, second, in saving you from going on somebody's bond or having loose change about you. It acquaints you with legal methods governing real estate conveyances, and a multitude of things never known before. Besides, you can learn the meaning of discounting notes by paying before it is due or compound interest that you pay for delay. This will give you object lessons in business promptness that you will not soon forget. Nothing is likely to grow in value faster than improved real estate. Fifty per cent of the merchants are driven out of business because of the raise of rents resulting from increased value of property, thus while the experienced merchant fails the real estate investor's values increase. Besides, he learns more about taxes and improvements as a property holder than in any other way; and, lastly, it makes him a wiser and better citizen. In fact, no man is really a citizen until he is a property holder. Thus real estate investment is one of the quickest, safest and surest roads to success in a growing city like Denver. WORTHY MAN SEEKING FEDERAL POSITION WORTHY MAN SEEKING FEDERAL POSITION A. B. The above cut is a likeness of Mr. T. O. Mason, who is in Washington, D. C., seeking recognition. Mr. Mason came to Denver in the Spring of 1887, and has called this city his home ever since. He is the owner of several nice dwelling houses here, as a result of his industry, and faith in Denver. He is a graduate of law, from the Law Department of the Columbian College of Washington, D. C., also an ex-United States Railway mail clerk, having honorably resigned from that position. His many friends in this city wish him success in his ambitious efforts to go forward. Mr. Mason believes the Negro should be independent in politics, and support only political parties and men, who pledge themselves to give our race a square deal. ADVANCE OF THE COLORED MAN.

The progress has become so marked as to win the recognition of all sections. And its record is written nowhere more clearly than in the returns of the United States census. This is not in totals of citizens, but of homes, property, business interests, agricultural holdings and manufactures in the hands of people of this race. It has come about with certainty so soon as the race was led to give up the idea that alone through political prominence could they rise to position and weight. As Dr. Washington puts it in his analysis of the accomplishments of his people since the end of the war: They have been learning to distinguish between the mere shadow of civilization and the progress and influential things of civilization and progress. In securing education, in growth in the possession of property, and the morsl and religious directions, as well as in establishing rational relations between the two races, the Negro people have made genuine—I believe enduring progress. To Booker Washington belongs the honor of having given the colored race the inspiration of the idea on which they have made this long stride forward. He proved himself possessor of the unwearying patience to teach it and the courage to face the abuse and assault which his efforts met from easy-going idlers and political adventures. The outcome is a fine demonstration of his wisdom as a leader.—Washington (D. C.) Times. Lawful to Call Man an Ass. It is lawful in Switzerland to call a man an ass either in anger of otherwise, according to a decision of the cantonal tribunal at Zurich. The court declined to award damages in a suit arising out of a quarrel between two prominent citizens. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Brisbane, Australia, March 17.—Sam Langford, the Boston heavyweight pugilist, today defeated Jim Barry, of Chicago, in the first round. This is the second time Barry has been beaten by Langford. In their last fight in Melbourne in May, 1912, they went eleven rounds. A number of the most prominent Negroes of Arkansas assembled at Pine Bluff a short time ago and organized an old line legal service life insurance company. The capital stock of the company is $250,000. At this first meeting $5,200 was subscribed of which $2,600 was paid in cash, security being given for the balance. The board of directors is made up of the leading business and professional men throughout the State. Savannah, Ga., March 17.—Melissa Cooper, colored woman, died at Grayson, Gwinnett County. She was probably the heaviest woman in the world. She weighed 613 pounds. She had put on weight at the rate of one hundred pounds a month for five months. Half a year ago she had maintainained an average weight of 150 pounds for forty years. Her neck, just before her death, measured exactly a yard around and her waiste measured 111 inches in circumference. Washington, D.C., March 19.—One of the strongest corporations conducted by Negroes in the District of Columbia is the Odd Fellows' Hall Association, builders and owners of the $100,000 Odd Fellows' Hall at 1606 M. street N.W.

West Chester, Pa., March 14. A severe blow was struck at the liquor traffic in Chester County this morning when Judge Hemphill and Butler, after a conference, unexpectedly handed down a joint opinion revoking all licenses of of hotels in Coatesville, Pa. They also refuse one-half those in Phoenixville and West Chester, and the only one in Valley Forge. Notice was served at once by the court NO 29 officers upon the proprietors of all the hotels involved, and the bars were closed for at least a year. The lynching of Walker, a colored man, at Coatesville, in August, 1911, is said to be responsible for the judges' action concerning Coatesville. Champion Jack Johnson, the man with a punch, has regained his strength and began training on Thursday. When asked about his trial for next week, the champion said: "Well, I have nothing to give out, but you can take it from me, and you can tell my people, that I am ready to face the music; I am not a coward, and never was a coward, and will always be found* fighting for both my title and rights. No American citizen should take for his potion less than his rights, and especially so when he knows that this government has the power to stand him before the enemy's guns. I ask no favors; all I want is a fair and impartial trial."—Defender. "BOB" CHURCH LEAVES $2,000,000. Memphis, Tenn., March 14. Bringing the value of the estate of Robert R. "Bob" Church, late capitalist, up to approximately $2,000,000, investigation is said by contending heirs to have revealed the existence of many valuable possessions of which nothing was known in Memphis until some time after Church's death. Considerable of this property is said to be situated in other cities, and includes several handsome residences in Washington, D.C. A complete inventory of the estate probably will be introduced in court when a contest of the will is tried. Action for contest was taken by Mrs. Laura C. Napier, a daughter of Mr. Church under first marriage and charging that the will probated in Memphis was procured through undue means and when the testator was mentally incapable of executing a will. The contestant is the wife of Andrew J. Napier, a wealthy Vancouver real estate man. The beneficiaries under the will are R. R. Church, Jr., of Memphis; Annie S. Church, widow and executrix; Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell, wife of a district judge in Washington, D. C.; Thomas Ayers Church, son, municipal clerk in New York City, and Annette Church, daughter of Memphis.

Chicago, March 27—Daybreak upon the desolation wrought by floods throughout Ohio and Indiana opened with a slight hope that the estimates of the loss of life of the night before might be somewhat reduced when dawn revealed more fully the situa- tion of the stricken cities. The first ray of comfort from Day- ton came with reports of refugees ar- riving at Xenia that the death list, which had been estimated as high as 6,000 drowned, would range from 500 to 1,000. A silimar reduction in the num- ber of victims was reported by the re- ports from Peru to South Bend, Ind., the earlier figures of from 200 to 500 drowned dwindling to 60, although a report from Warsaw, Ind., still esti- mates that 250 persons had lost their lives, In contrast to the slight hope held out of a possible reduced death list in the cities named, the possibility that oth- er places not yet mentioned as hay- ing been visited by disaster had sut- fered, was indicated in early reports. Miaimisburg, a town of 4,000, twelve miles below Dayton, was reported to have been washed away, but no news as to the casualties among the inhab- itants had been received. Large business blocks in the cen- tral part of the city were undermined and threaten to fall. Scores of per- sons perished when the Leonard build- ing opposite the city hall collapsed, Dayton has been placed under mar- tial law, and three companies of the Na- tional Guard are preserving order. Relief is being rushed to Dayton from all sides. Cincinnati, Ohio, March 26—Ten thousand persons lost their lives; 5,- 000 in Dayton, Ohio, 1,000 in Hamilton, Ohio; 500 in Peru, Ind.; 550 in Piqua, Ohio, 75 in Delaware, Ohio, with prop- erty loss of scores of millions of dol- Jars, in unprecedented floods that swept four states yesterday, It was the most horrible disaster that ever has visited the Miami val- ley. It is impossible at this time to more than estimate the number of lives which were snuffed out, but it 1s conservatively placed at 10,000, It was known that the levees at Piqua had given way and that a num- ber of lives had been lost there. It was hoped that this break would re- Heve the pressure somewhat. ‘The great power plant reservoir north of Dayton was full to overflow- ing and was carefully watched. Sud- denly, with hardly a moment's warn- ing, the big dam cracked under the enormous pressure, then with a smash which could be heard for miles went out and the millions of gallons of wa- ter in a white crested wave ten feet high, swept like a very demon of de- struction down the doomed valley, car- rying horses, cattle and hundreds of human beihgs on its foaming crest. ‘There was not time for the people of the lower part of Dayton to escape. Hundreds of them were caught in the swirling waters which had soon turned th estreets into rushing, murderous, corpse-laden rivers. For four days a steady pour of rain hhad soaked the land and swollen the riyers bank high. The lower parts of the cities were flooded, and while it was known there was danger, it was not regarded as imminent. ‘The giant wave swept past Dayton, licking up the small cities and towns on the banks of the Miami river as though they were matchwood, on to Hamilton, wheré the same scenes were enacted as at Dayton, except on a smaller scale, i DISASTROUS FLOODS IN LAST CENTURY. 1813—Austria - Hungary, Poland, Prussia, Silesia; floods caused. by incessant rains: Uves lost, 1,800, Tsl4ost.

Chicago, March 26.—Swept by wind and rainstorms of terrific violence for [three days, vast areas of the Middle West, from the Missouri river to the Allegheny mountains, are inundated, many persons have been drowned and enormous property losses have been caused by floods, the worst in years. ‘The maps of Ohio, Indiana and parts of Illinois and Missouri are maps of desolation. Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Lafayette, in Indiana, and Dayton, Delaware, Columbus and Youngstown, in Ohio, present particularly pitiable spevtacles. In all of these cities there was loss of life, according to the most authentic reports available, and in each city the property loss particular- ly was heavy. Practically all of Day- ton was under water, and the resi- dents had been forced to flee for their lives. Many of the more intrepid sought refuge on the housetops. Columbus also suffered enormous damage from the flood. ‘The washing out of several bridges across the Scio- to river, in and near that city, result- ed in almost total paralysis of railroad traffic early, Later the West Side levee broke and a large area of the western part of the city was inundat- ed. Fires in three large factories raged for many hours, and for a time threatened a portion of the district. Because of the flood firemen were un- able to respond to appeals for assist- ance, ‘The already unfavorable situation at Cinicinnati was enhanced by a cloud- burst which for a time flooded many of the streets, Two bridges over the White river were carried away at Val- ley Junction. ‘The great bridge over the Miami river at Middletown, Ohio, went out yesterday afternoon. Fifteen persons were reported missing. Several houses were seen floating down the river, which was a raging torrent. A big dam a short distance north of Akron, Ohio, burst, and horsemen were hurried through the valley to warn the people of the impending dan- ger. Sweeping up the’ Ohio valley from the west, the third storm in ten days devastated different sections between Louisville and Cincinnati in Kentucky, and in extensive districts in Illinois, southwestern Ohfo and Indiana, The property loss was estimated at several million dollars in the sections | mentioned.

It has taken Omaha and the sur- rounding country thirty-six hours ro begin to appreciate the enormity of the devastation wrought by the East- er evening storm of wind and rain, ‘The storm assumed first the veloc ity and destructive effects of a cye clone, and ended its existence in a series of tornadoes which dropped fiercely on many parts of the city and country without regard to human life or property and visited the great- er portion of the residential part of Omaha, Wires were snapped off in all di rections and it took many hours to ather and circulate the news of the disaster. All forms of communication were al- most annihilated by the wind and only two or three wires were in working con dition when daylight relieved a night of high tension, which at times almost became a panic. Soldiers, state and na- tional troops, poured into the city dur- ing the day to aid in bringing order out of what for twenty hours had been chaos. These guardians of the peace are patrolling the residence districts, aiding the police to maintain order and relieve such cases of suffering as come to their notice. The greatest loss of life occurred sectionally. Three points in the path of the storm offered the greatest sac- rifices. These were at Fortieth and Farnum streets where a crowd had sought refuge in a garage; at Twenty- fourth and Lake streets, where a mov- ing picture theater was demolished, and at Twenty-fourth and Willis aye- nue, where a podlroom had attracted a crowd. In each of these places the fatalities were large. ‘The monetary loss will, itis estimat- ed, exceed $5,000,000. Perliaps 1,500 persons are homeless. Aside from this, 3,000 buildings ‘were more or less damaged, many of these being church edifices and school buildings. Eight of Omaha's public schools were wrecked. No such catastrope had ever before visited the city, and it was over. whelmed by it.

In the Omaha-Couneil Bluffs region, out- side Omaha the dead is estimated at more than fifty, In Terre Haute eighteen persons are known to have been killed, 250 more or less are seriously’ injured, 275 homes are destroyed and other proper- ty damage, estimated at nearly a mil- lion dollars, was the toll of the torna- do Sunday night. Last night the offi- cials in charge of the rescue work say the list of dead will be increased as the searchers clear away the debris of wrecked buildings. Hundreds of homeless in Terre Haute are being cared for by charl- table institutions and citizens, while the wrecked district is being patrolled by Company B, First regiment, Indi- ana National Guards, and the local police force, The militia was ordered out by Governor Ralston, who directed the relief measures from Indianapolis. ‘The downpour, while adding to thelr discomfort, was probably the greatest boon the stricken district could have asked, for it extinguished innumerable fires that broke out immediately after ‘the tornado lind passed, ‘The rescue work was carried on fast, and it appears that all the home- less are being cared for by charitable institutions and citizens, while the more seriously injured have received medical attention, In many cases pri- yate homes were turned into tempo | rary hospitals. Harrowing storles of their experi. ences are told by the survivors of the storm. The scenes in the wrecked sections in Terre Haute brought tears to the eyes of the rescuers, whose at- tention was often called to the dying, trapped in the debris of their homes, by agonizing screams for afd. Some died before they could be freed from the wreckage, and others who were re. | moved will die. Throughout the district of wrecked homes survivors searched for loved ones, but in the majority of cases they were disappointed. 10th Avenue Hotel ——___—_ .

With the sun shining gloriously and filling not only nature but human nature with its brightest rays all Denver went forth to give forth joy and songs and praise. There were only a few clouds to mar the beautiful serenity of the azure skies and all Nature seemed in perfect harmony with the birds and flowers that lifted their heads in songs and praise. From early dawn the church bells began to peal forth their call to worship and at their melodious signal the vanguard of worshippers were on their way to the churches. Nearly every house of worship was filled to overflowing. Pretty women gowned in new spring raiment, children reflecting parental care and love and decked in Easter frocks, and men looking immaculate from head to toe, filled the churches with faces radiant with the reflected sunshine. The churches were beautifully decorated with flowers, palms and birds, the music was inspiring and the adoration and praise to the Lord and Savior who is risen was upon every lip and in every heart. It was a glorious service, and general will and everybody seemed to be happy. POST MORTEM PRAISE. One of the evils under the sun, as the custom to save and treasure up all other, until their departure or death, society and even in the churches. In the word, a gentle comment or good deed, the arm of the toiler and cause him or a greater work, it is invariably within ficial worker has a word of praise or often—he is roundly accused of crime when the time of separation comes or the sufferer from the field of toil, the resolutions of faithfulness and praise, dexteriousness to show honors, are en.

One of the evils under the sun, and one that ought to be corrected, is the custom to save and treasure up all the good things to be said of one another, until their departure or death. This evil is pregnant in the home, society and even in the churches. In the stress and strife of life when a kind word, a gentle comment or good deed would nerve the heart and strengthen the arm of the toiler and cause him or her to take courage, live longer and do a greater work, it is invariably withheld. Instead it is seldom that a beneficial worker has a word of praise or encouragement given, but often—very often—he is roundly accused of criminal negligence and even abused. But when the time of separation comes or the death angel swoops down and bears the sufferer from the field of toil, then what fevers of appreciation, what resolutions of faithfulness and praise, what copious tears of sympathy, what dexteriousness to show honors, are enacted. Post mortem praise is all very well in its place and should not altogether be discouraged, but somehow we favor the giving out of kind words and beautiful flowers and generous sentiments when they can be appreciated and deserved by the deserving toiler, when they can cheer and comfort a despondent soul, when they can raise a bowed head. Such encouragements bless both the receiver and the giver, thus both are made happier and better. One bud at this time is worth a forest of flowers at deprpture or after death; one live word of good cheer a volume of resolutions. THE GREAT DISASTER.

The disasters in Omaha, Ohio and Indiana, are but reminders of what can result from the various forces in Nature, especially when actuated by the planetary or stellar system. Those of us who are not close students of Astronomy are invariably apt to ascribe these unfortunate happenings and terrible calamities to the judgments of a God, or a Supreme Being, who, becoming annoyed at our continuous actions of evil, punishes us by these agencies; but as soon as we get into the arena of the different arts and sciences, we are able to make calculations and form deductions that bring us to a safe and sane conclusion, that inasmuch as man is created a free agent, which seems to give him the right to do as he likes and pleases, and when he does anything in disobedience to the laws of Nature, his anatomy suffers, so ought we to feel that when there is a conflict or disturbance among the bodies of the solar system, results like tornadoes, cyclones, floods, earthquakes, etc., are inevitable. If we review some of the worlds greatest disasters, we can always find them occurring at a time when there's something wrong with some of the planets. The tidal waves that would sweep the Chinese and Japanese coasts carrying in their wake thousands into the angry deep; the violent storms and earthquakes of Central America and South America; the cyclones and floods of North America, seem to occur for the most part at a time when there is an eclipse of the sun or moon, or when some planet comes in conjunction or opposition to one another. But a few years ago a noted sea-captain gave out to the world that he had discovered a change in the course of the Gulf stream and at first his statement was somewhat ignored, until some astronomical report came out to the same effect; then this former statement was given credit. Now whether we believe these present disasters are the acts of Nature or of God, we have no time to enter into any controversy, as immediate relief is necessary to the unfortunate survivors of the different cities that have met with this great calamity. Bis dat qui cito dat—"He who gives promptly gives twice as much") is The Colorado Statesman's motto, and in such circumstances that require practical charity, we specially commend the sufferers to our own subscribers and the public at large for their utmost consideration.

The large attendance was an evidence of the fact of the class of entertainments generally offered the public by Centennial Lodge, No. 4, and every one expressed perfect satisfaction for the manner that the proceedings were carried out. The ladies in their Easter gowns lent a charming aspect to the occasion, and what with the delightful music discoursed by Webster's orchestra and the cordial treatment afforded by the management, it can well be said that this entertainment surpassed its predecessors, and has set a high standard for others to follow. Long live Centennial! Clarence Sears, well known in Denver, was shot through the neck early last Tuesday morning by Rose O'Grady, a white woman, in the rear room of a restaurant at 2104 Larimer street. He was removed to the county hospital, where he died at 2 o'clock. At the coroner's inquest last Wednesday the jury brought in a verdict, "That Clarence Sears, came to his death as the result of a bullet wound inflicted by a person known as Rose O'Grady, white, while she was under the influence of liquor." The woman refused to testify in her own behalf at the inquest and was returned to the city jail.

When the trial of the case of James Johnson against Laura Johnson was completed, the court asked where Mrs. Johnson was. "She may be in heaven, your honor," replied Johnson's attorney. "What do you mean?" asked the court. "She lived in Dayton, Ohio, up to last night." It also developed that there was a child in the case, and Judge Rothgerber ordered Johnson to pay $10 a month for the support of the child. "But the child is with the mother, and may be dead," replied the attorney. "We will have the money paid into court until you prove the child was drowned," replied Judge Rothgerber. HEWETSON-WATSON NOT GUILTY. Prof. Watson, who has been annoyed, humiliated and twice arrested by persons who had no good reasons to do so was taken before the chief of police and was released, then into Justice Wolfe's court, on the charge of-vagrancy, and the case was taken from there on a change of venue to Justice Mills' court, where a jury heard the salacious evidence offered against him; but when Lawyer Townsend had applied his wit, sarcasm, ridicule and argument to the stories of Watson's accusers, the jury was out five minutes and returned a verdict that they did not believe the charge and Prof. Watson was honorably discharged. You ought to have attended that trial and heard Lawyer Townsend when he took the gossipers and talebearers in hand. He is a whirlwind—yes, a cyclone, when he's aroused. SHORTER'S NOTES. Easter festival was observed at Shorter Chapel Sunday with the rendition of brilliant Easter music and appropriate exercises at each service. Large crowds filled the auditorium, one person professed a saving faith in Christ and united with the church and a splendid offering was made for home and foreign missions. The exercises rendered by the Primary department of the Sunday school in the afternoon evoked flattering comments. Many regard it the best in the history of the school. Good for Mrs. Rebecca Glenn and Mrs. Fannie Brown, the two superintendents. The ordinance of holy baptism was administered at both the morning and evening services. Those who received this rite were Brothers Wm. A. Spivey, J. N. Batts, Sisters Zoetta Hodge, Josephine Lowe and Alberta Tolbert. Little Levonia Amy Hellen Spratlin and Dorothy Elizabeth Jones were also present dfor baptism by Dr. and Mrs. P. E. Spratlin and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones respectively. The membership of Shorter is exultant over the steady progress the church is making, and especially over the growing congregation. This condition has been brought about in part by the splendid service our choir has rendered. This fact was clearly demonstrated in the captivating music rendered both at the morning service and in the grand musical recital at the evening hour. Our spring campaign was launched last Sabbath. Twenty-five clubs made their first partial report. The outlook is bright. The second report will be due April 11th. A report is expected from every club as this time. The Sewing circle is preparing for a grand bazaar in the near future. The contest for a Negro doll will be a leading feature. Brickler's New Barber Shop is located at 2208 Larimer street. Shave, 10c.

Easter was a great day in Campbell, the attendance was great, the programs were great and the collections were greater. A good day for God and missions—$52.80 was received during the day. The pastor is about to launch a financial campaign for the indebtedness of the church and for the encouragement of the friends and members, desires to state that at no time in recent years has the Lord so wonderfully blessed us in the winter as He has this. The first quarter of last year the trustees reported as received and paid out $75.93 the first quarter in this year received and paid out more than $538.99. Old debts dating back for years have been paid and the credit of the church re-established in the business world. All this in spite of the fact that the labor conditions are worse than for years. A comparative statement of all the departments of the church will be made soon. Our many sick are in many instances no better than last week. The church prays earnestly for their full and speedy recovery. The pastor will preach all day to tomorrow. Morning subject, "Buy the Truth." In the evening the subject is "Sell It Not." Eight persons were baptized last Sunday. Mrs. White came from Boulder to see her son immersed. There is a great deal of anxiety on the part of the pastor and many members of the church concerning the welfare of loved ones in the cyclone and flood districts. Fervent prayers are ascending for the unfortunate people of those sections. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE All.

Work, in charge of re- search and records at Tuskegee in- stitute, In a recent number of the Southern Workman Professor Work tells of what the American negro 1s doing for himself. Special emphasis is placed on the race's advancement along re- ligious, educational and economic lines, ‘The religious progress of the race is shown in the accumulation of church property which amounts to $57,000, 000. The churches contribute yearly over $100,000 for home missions, The negro Baptists varry on work in five foreign countries, in which they have established 132 mission stations in charge of 97 missionaries. The African Methodist Episcopal church has mission work in eight foreign countries and has two bishops in Africa, The African Methodist Epis- copal Zion church is doing aggressive work in Africa and the West Indies. ‘Thirty-five thousand Sunday schools are in operation, with an enrollment of one and three-quarters million pupils. ‘The educational advancement of the race is indicated in Professor Work’s article by the statement that 1,700,000 negro children are enrolled in the pub- lie schools and colleges. Thirty-one thousand negro teachers are employed in the public schools, and 3,000 teach- ers are employed in the colleges and the normal and industrial schools. ‘There are in the south at present 50 colleges, 13 institutions for the edu- cation of colored women, 26 theolog- feal schools and departments, 3 schools of law, 5 of medicine, 2 of dentistry, 4 of pharmacy, 17 state agri- cultural and mechanical colleges and over 400 normal and industrial schools, The value of the property now owned by institutions for higher and secondary training of the freedmen is more than $17,000,000. In 1912 over $4,400,000 were expended for their higher and Industrial training, and 38,600,000 in their public schools, a total of $13,000,000. There are 40,000 following the pro- fessions, including teachers, preachers, laymen, doctors, dentists, editors, ete,, and there are some 30,000 engaged in business of some sort, With 3,950 colored persons in the government postal service, there are 22,440 in the employ of the United States government, Some 1,000 or more patents have been granted to negroes during the past year, They have invented a tele- phone register, a hydraulic scrub- bing brush, a weight motor for run- ning machinery, aeroplanes, an auto- matic car switch and an automatic feed attachment for adding machines, The have established 64 banks capt- talized at $1,600,000, doing an annual business of some $20,000,000. ‘The Penny Savings bank of Birmingham, Ala, at the close of business in August, 1912, had resources amounting to $47,000. : Perhaps the most significant prog- ress has been made in agriculture. Negro farm laborers and negro farm- ers in the south cultivate approximate. ly 100,000,000 acres of land, of which 42,500,000 acres are under their con- trol. Negroes now own 20,000,000 acres of land, equivalent to 31,000 square miles, In 1863 the total wealth of negroes in phis country was about $20,000,000. Now their total wealth is: $700,000, 000. A $50,000 hospital, to be known as the John A. Andrew Memorial hos- pital, was dedicated at Tuskegee insti- tute, before a large and representative gathering. The hospital, which is one of the finest in the south, is the gift of the granddaughter of the war govern- or of Massachusetts, One special train came from ‘New York, bringing the Hon. Seth Low, chairman of the Tuskegee institute board of trustees and other New York trustees, During the meeting of the National Medical association last August 524 patients. were treated and some 25 ‘operations performed in the small hos- pital of the institute. It is now planned to have another such clinic in connection with the dedication of the John A. Andrew hospital, which is, in many respects. one of the best fitted hospitals in all the south. The clinics are to be held under the directions of Dr. John A. Kenney, the institute medical director, and operations will be performed, remedies prescribed, etc, by the physician above named and by Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, ‘Tenn., specialist in the treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat. ‘The John Wanamaker store of Phila- delphia gives employment to 300 col- ored people: 119 in the dairy, 83 on the elevators, 20 in the tea room, 21 in the help’s lunch room, 3 in the printing department, 3 in’ the ware- house, 2 in the stables, 10 as waiters and 10 as porters, The board of commissioners of the Knights of Pythias has authorized Mr, Sydney Pittman, the negro architect who designed the Jamestown Negro building, to draw plans for a $150,000 temple to be built in Dallas, Tex. At the regular monthly public meeting of the Manhattan branch of the Y. M. C. A. at the Abys- sinian Baptist church in West Fortieth street, before a large audi- ence Rabbi Alexander Lyons, of the State street Synagogue, Brooklyn, de- livered an address on “If I Were a Ne- gro.” He spoke in part as follows: “First, if I were a negro I should confront the conditions which the ne- gro confronts with the same fortitude and determination with which they have been confronted by the Jews; in other words, I would be content to be the thing which God almighty had made me. Therein many negroes are at fault. I believe God made a variety of races for the same reason that he made a variety of other things—be- cause similarity begets monotony. Since you are negroes, be negroes. I have only contempt for the negro, who, because he is a little lighter in color looks down upon other negroes who happen to be a little darker in hue. Either a man is a negro or he is not a.negro, no matter what his color may be. Moreover, 1 should not be like many negroes who try to imitate white people. Don't make the mis- take of believing that everything a white man or a white woman does is right simply because he or she is white, “In the second place, if I were a negro I should try to have something to show for my energy. That is, I should be careful to save as much as possible of my wages. I say this be- cause too many of our negroes are in- clined to be thriftless. The race is often accused of a lack of foresight. They spend their money too freely and too thoughtlessly. Some negroes; as soon as they have earned a little money, lay off and spend it in order that they may go to work and earn a little more. Save your money. If you cannot get your names on the sign- boards of Broadway you may yet be able to get them on the side streets. “Finally, if | were a negro I should so deport myself that no one could point the finger of scorn at me. Two things in this world are of prime im- portance—money and morality. And then I should see to ic that, so far as. in my power lay, every other negro with whom I came in contact faeybrtea himself with credit. For if one negro goes wrong he becomes a stumbling block to the entire race. The same ts likewise true of the Jew. “The negro race is peculiarly en- dowed. He is physically and musical- ly blessed, and has wonderful patience. Don't envy the white race because you are not white, but love and cherish your own. Be patient, capable and brave. Be good Christians, but don't be so Christian and so soft and juicy as not to stand up for your rights when you are sure that right is on your side.” What promises to be one of the finest playhouses in this country oper- ated in the interest of colored people will open Its doors about March 1st at Savannah, Ga. This new theatrical proposition fs owned by the Savannah Picture Plays company of that city. The sum of $40,000 is being put in the construction, meaning every con- venience and beauty accordingly. A first-class playhouse is the object of those interested, and everything pos- sible is being done towards that end. In Cherry county, Kansas, is a large and prosperous colony of negroes known as Kinkaiders. The colonists engage in farming and stock raising. Only a few years ago Hampton and ‘Tuskegee institutes were vigorously scored by a certain type of negroes in New York because students from these influential institutions would, from time to time, sing old plantation songs before northern audiences. Sev- eral of the negro ministers in New York city were actually afraid to have old-time plantation songs sung in their churches, although many enjoyed them, because a certain type of ne- gro criticised the ministers for per- mitting their rendition. On January 12 a musical entertain. ment was given at Carnegie hall, and plantation songs were sung and played by an orchestra of about 125 negroes. The hall was not only filled, but by what is called the fashionable negroes, to hear these plantation melodies. What has brought about this change? Perhaps it is this: That the concert at Carnegie hall was man- aged by white people, who have seen the value and richness of these planta- tion songs; and now that these white promoters have taken up the planta- tion songs, they have become im. mensely popular with the elige of the negro race—New York Age. The Baltimore hotel, a leading hostelry of Kansas City, Mo., after dis pensing with colored help last spring, has been compelled to discharge the white waiters and recall the negroes. ‘The patrons of this hotel found that they were not served equally as well by the white help and left and went to other hotels using colored help ‘This compelled the Baltimore manage- ment to reemploy the colored boys. Surprising as {t may appear, the father of triplets usually 1s proud of it. MRS. PETERS TELLS OF KILLING McMANUS ON RANCH. Declares She Killed Him While Pro: tecting Her Honor, and Is Not Sorry. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. Greeley, Colo—"I shot and killed ‘Thomas McManus like the dog that he ‘was, in defense of that which a woman holds most dear—her honor, and I would do the same thing again under similar circumstances, as would any other woman placed in my position. 1 tried the pump gun out first to make sure it would work and when I found that it was in good order I took aim and fired. He was probably eight or ten feet away. “Sorry? What have I to be sorry for? He was not a man, He was without honor and had made life mis- erable for me in one way or another for weeks. I shot him and I guess that that is all there is to it.” ‘This was the statement made by. Mrs. Olive G. Peters, wife of Henry K. Peters, who is foreman of the Union Pacific machine shops at Cheyenne. She is now in the county jail held as the result of a coroner's jury verdict which blamed her for the killing just as he had forced an entrance to her home. Mrs. Peters and her husband and two children were brought to Greeley from the Peters ranch, twelve miles from Keota, in an automobile. On the way Mrs, Peters talked but little, but was perfectly composed and at no time she lost her self-possesion for an in- stant. Elks Get ‘Cash for Bank Depositors. Durango.—The Elks lodge has won a victory in the District Court. ‘Through the backing of the lodge, the receiver for the La Plata County bank has been forced to sell the assets of the bank within thirty days. As a re- sult Henry Schultz, father of Receiver Charles Schultz, has agreed to buy the assets and pay depositors in full, The Elks had about $4,000 on deposit in the bank, and by working with 'T. K.

The court ordered payment to depositors. No Evidence of Race Suicide. Denver.—Willard Peck, chief statis- ticlan of the State Board of Health, says there is no evidence of race sut- cide in Denver.

There is really no end to the number of small, brilliant and curious novelties and odd feather pieces. They are pretty, and one might almost call some of them amusing. They stand up with a saucy air on the small close-fitting shapes for spring. Besides the question mark there is a class of decorative pieces made of feathers (and often of other millinery materials) called the Mephisto ornaments. Long, slender, curving quills or ribs of quills without any pretentions to beauty, which suggest the antennae of a butterfly, or fine, incisive horns. Nature provides such ad- Extraordinarily Tight Garments Soon to Be Decidedly Out of the Realm of Fashion. The most graceful frocks are those in which they use no straight lines, but "hanging draperies," as the artist describes them, and the newest of new fashions show that all "tightness" is to be banned. Evening frocks will perhaps remain tight round the ankles, but our modistes may yet allow one a little more freedom. "Tight" skirts have had their day, and a very long day, too. One writer, discussing the question, puts it very neatly in pointing out that "the only way out of the difficulty is to give the necessary freedom to the skirts to the extent of some ten or twelve inches, and thus allowing the wearer to avoid those mincing little steps which can never be anything but ridiculously ungraceful. A novelty in camisoles has made its appearance. It has been introduced specially to wear under the filmy corsage worn with all smart toills for the daytime and evening and is made of net with a broad band of ribbon round the body, tied in a large bow at the side or in the center of the front. As a matter of fact, it is quite as pretty as a blouse, and so makes a splendid foundation for a fragile corsage. New Wares Nickel silver is the newest in plated ware for the table and it not only wears well but is pretty to look upon. An asparagus dish in this ware is very new and novel. It has a ribbed section for the asparagus ends, as well as one sauce cup at each end of the dish, which is shaped like a tray. A salad set contains two cruets, three little bottles for salt and two kinds of pepper, and a bowl for mixing the dressing at the table is another novelty. An oblong water tray with six tumblers set into nickel silver rims is new and attractive. The middle part of the handle is wicker. Hats Like Handboxes. There is another hat in fashion which looks like noining so much as a doll's handlox. It is of satin crinoline lining with its seams piped. Sometimes there is a tiny little brim that resembles the one on a man's silk hat, and again there is only a stiff band of the material, ending in a pump bow at the side. Straw hats take on these shapes, as do those of brocade and metal cloth. Both of the latter materials will be used for dressy afternoon hats, while satin, like straw, will be worn at all hours. Like Darning. If you wish to embroider silk stockings, try the following plan instead of using an embroidery hoop. Place your darning ball inside the stocking and hold it as though you were going to darn, save that you should be very careful not to stretch the stocking; simply hold it smooth over the darner where you are to do the embroidery. --Needlecraft. For Guest Room. A small square cushion, which should be especially nice for a guest room, is covered with blue silk, and over this a fillet lace cover of white is drawn. This dainty little bit of blue and white is then supplied with blue and white headed pins, neatly arranged, all ready for the guest's use. dittions to plumage; their long, hard fibers, curling at the ends, appear among the beautiful, soft feathers of the bird of paradise. Besides these odd ornaments there is a great liking for the queer plumage called humidl. It is long and straggling and dyed into many colorings and shadings. The original color, in a dark taupe, is very rich. It combines with coque de roche with fine effect. There is a great demand for it, which promises to become greater. Its price is soaring. But in a season when flowers are as well liked as feathers and when every day brings out some novelty of note, it is not safe to predict that any one item will outshine all the others. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CHIEFLY FOR THE YOUTHFUL Tam O'Shanter Hat Has All Its Old Popularity, but Many Must Not Wear It. Probably the most popular spring hats for the young girl and youthful matron will be the Tam o'Shanter. It has been worming itself into the good graces of femininity all through the winter. The athletic will wear it in knitted wool, or very light peanut straw, and the girlie girl will dope it up with roses as pink as her cheeks, and some of them will even place a lace frill on the inside to fall over their faces, and shade the sparkle of their eyes. There never was a hat made that could be more rakish, or coquettish than a Tam o'Shanter. But under no condition can it be dignified; therefore women over 30, beware! The Tam reflects the mood of every girl who wears it, and if it becomes as popular as fashion design seems to think it will, you won't have to look into your sweetheart's eyes, young man, to find out if she loves you. You will only have to tip off the angle at which she wears her Tam o'Shanter. NEW SPRING GOWN Underwood & Underwood Spring gown of red moles with blue taffeta belt and corsage of pink beaded net. The color combinations make this costume very striking. LOVERS' RESTING PLACE LOVERS' RESTING PLACE "THE GROTTO" ON CAPITOL GROUNDS A PLACE OF CHARM. Thirty Years Ago It Was One of the Wonder Places of Washington—One of the Marvels Under the Olmsted Planes. The capitol grotto is a fascinating resting place in summer. This grotto, or "summer house," as it is officially known, is a red brick, low octagonal structure in the north-west grounds of the capitol at the parting of the north walk with one that sweeps around from the north side to the west plaza. The THE COURT roof which covers the twenty-two stone seats is open in the middle, making this rest an open court save for the boughs of tall allanthus and catalpa trees that spread above it. One side of this grotto opens into a dim and rocky cavern, where shadows linger, ferns grow and water splashes from a hidden city water main. Many spring and summer courtships have flourished there; many lovers have sighed there. Thirty years ago this motto was one of the wonder places of Washington. The newspapers had articles about it and Washingtonians came by all the horse car lines from the most distant parts of the city for the pleasure of inspecting this beauty spot. "The grotto!" Why, even the name of the thing was new in Washington! It had an alluring sound, suggestive of romance and all that. It was one of the marvels which under the Olmsted plans had been put in the capitol grounds. It is a question whether this picturesque recess has fulfilled the hopes of its designers. Really, not a great many persons rest there in summer, because comparatively few persons walking through the capitol grounds pass that way. It is off the usual track of foot-pilgrims. Nor is it covered inside and out with ivy, as its projectors said it would be. Ivy grows around it, but the vines that produce most of the summer shade are moonvines that die after the first blighting frost. The grotto was built in 1881-82. F. H. Cobb, engineer in charge of the improvement of the capitol grounds, in accordance with the Olmsted plans, said in his report, October 1, 1881: "There has been so much complaint from the want of a resting place for those who walk from the bottom of the hill to the landing that to meet this want a structure is now being erected designed to combine both drinking fountain and a secluded cool retreat." Mr. Olmsted in justifying the idea leading up to the building of this grotto had written: "The use of ordinary park seats, either movable or fixed, will be better avoided in these grounds, for reasons of taste and propriety as well as the disorder and nuisance to which they would lead. If it should be attempted to do without any resting place, however, the inconvenience that would result would probably lead to the adoption of some unsuitable expedient. Hence it has been thought better to introduce special arrangements designed with all practicable precautions against abuse. The summer house in question will provide for persons passing through the northwest grounds a cool and shady place in which a few minutes' rest can be taken without interruption to the walks or breaking the leading lines of view. "It is intended to provide a drinking fountain about which a number of persons may stand without obstructing the walks, and, lastly, incidentally to the above purposes, to secure conditions favorable to certain types of beauty in vegetation." Dust Always in Air. There is no such thing as dustless air. No matter what precautions are taken, particles of dust will always be found in the atmosphere, even in a hermetically sealed room. There are very rarely less than 100 particles of dust in a cubic centimeter of air, and, in big cities, there are sometimes as many as 150,000 in that exceedingly small space. Dust has no special color, since it is composed of all sorts of things—particles of coal and other minerals, grains of sand blown from the earth's surface, pollen, and other forms of vegetable matter, etc. The reason it looks black against a white surface and vice versa is that the particles that are visible against a dark surface are naturally the light ones, whereas when dust settles on a light surface, the dark particles catch the eye. Population Is 96,496,000 The latest estimate of the population of continental United States places the figure at 96,496,000 January 2, 1913. This figure was used by treasury department experts in determining that of the total money in circulation in the country on that date, $3,350,727,580. The amount per capita was $34.72. Her Preference. "I hope my dear prospective landlady, you never season your meals with acerbity." "Oh, dear me, no, sir! We generally use plain French dressing." BIG REALTY DEAL AT CAPITAL One of the Oldest and Probably Most Famous Building in Capital City Leased. A large realty transaction was confirmed a few days ago, which is of great interest to the residents of Washington and the country at large. One of the oldest and probably the most famous of all buildings in the capital city has been leased for a term of four years at a total rental of about $1,000,000. It is understood that the privilege of renewal is a part of the lease at about the same consideration as paid for the use of the property for the next four years, subject to some restrictions. The person who has succeeded in obtaining the property will occupy it as a residence, and took occupancy on March 4. The property is situated on Pennsylvania avenue at Sixteenth street, extending south, and contains large grounds, both in front and in the rear of the house. The residence is constructed in Virginia freestone, is 170 feet in length, 86 feet in depth, and consists of a rustic basement, two lofty stories, and an attic, the whole surmounted by an ornamental balustrade. The north front has a portico of lofty Ionic columns, forming a porte-ochere, and the south a colonnaded balcony. The property is commonly known as the White House and the lessee is Woodrow Wilson, 'ormer governor of New Jersey and ex-president of Princeton university. The lessors of the property are the people of the United States, who own it and who indirectly received about $1,000,000 as rental for the four years. The agent acting for Mr. Wilson was the national Democratic realty committee and for the people the quadrennial joint convention of the house and the senate of the United States, who confirmed the transaction, after making a count of the votes cast by the electoral representatives of the people. The people granted the lease almost unanimously, 435 electoral votes out of 531 being cast in favor of Mr. Wilson as a tenant in preference to W. H. Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, and others who were bidding for the property. The White House was the first public building erected at the new seat of government, and was first occupied by John Adams in November, 1800. BOOKS FOR BOY PRISONERS No Ball and Chain These Days, but Character of Reading Matter Is Questioned. Prisoners are cared for so much better than they used to be. They no longer have to sit with a ball and chain on their legs, eating bread and water, or taking 75 years to carve their message on the pillars of a dank and darkened dungeon with a rusty nail smuggled in by a trusty confederate who swims the moat beyond the castle walls. No, indeed. They have up-to-date methods. They even give 'em books to read. You can prove that by going up to the juvenile court, where the room in which children are sometimes confined is furnished with a wooden bench. There is a book there for the juvenile prisoners to regale their literary tastes. You can imagine the feelings of the half-scared newsle, locked up in that room, reading That Book. Its name is "Facing Death." Some of the chapters are: "Evil Tidings." "In Deadly Peril." "The Arm of the Law." "A Critical Moment." "A Heavy Loss." Must be an optimistic sort of a child prisoner who can stand that? Eh? Not Entirely Unobservant. "I think that children are not so observing as they used to be," said a member of the school board to a district school teacher. "I haven't noticed it," replied the teacher. "Well, I'll prove it to you," answered the committeeman. Turning to the class he said: "Some one give me a number." "Thirty-seven," said a little girl eagerly. He wrote "73" on the board. Nothing was said. "Well, some one, else give me a number." "Fifty-seven," said another child. He wrote "75" on the board and smiled knowingly at the teacher when nothing was said. He called for a third number and fairly gasped when a little urchin piped up: "Seventy-seven, and see if you can change that." Latest In Astronomy. Now let us examine the See theory, which the professor supports by much mathematical and observational data too technical to be rehearsed here. This is the exact opposite of Laplace's scheme, says Leslie's Weekly. Professor See holds, indeed, that the polar system was formed from a spiral nebula, but that instead of the planets having been detached from the sun by rotation they have been captured and added on from the outer parts of the nebula. All the satellites likewise have been captured by their several planets, and not one of them detached by rotation from the central bodies. This Doctor See calls the capture theory. The moon, likewise, he says, was originally a planet, but, nearing the earth, was captured and made a satellite. This is in direct contradiction to the previous most modern explanation of the origin of the moon, held by Dr. George Darwin. HUNDREDS BURN TO DEATH LATEST REPORT OF DEAD IN DAYTON FLOOD AND FIRE NUMBER 2,500 PEOPLE. WILSON SENDS APPEAL GOVERNMENT AND WHOLE NATION RUSHING RELIEF TO OHIO AND INDIANA. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Revised Figures on Dead. March 27.—The revised death figures, as nearly as they could be calculated, from Associated Press and special news service, follow: OHIO—Dayton, 2,500; Piqua, 500; Delaware, 100; Middletown, 100; Sidney, 50; Hamilton, 100; Tipppecane, 3; Tiffany, 100; Columbus, 10 to 150; Mountain, 100; Greatford, 100; Troy, 50; Scattering, 200, Total, 3,964 to 4,014. INDIANA—Pern, 50 to 150; New Castle, 3; Lajaste, 2; Port Wayne, 6; Indianapolis, 20; Noblesville, 2; Rushville, 1; Muncie, 1; Brookville, 40; Scattering, 25, Total, 150 to 250. Grand Total, 42,848. Adding the 29 who met death in Omaha makes a total for storm of the week of 4,376. Columbus, Ohio, March 27.—Believing the entire city of Dayton is now doomed by fire, Vice Mayor Huber sent an appeal to every city in the state begging for dynamite with which to level buildings. Piqua reports that the entire city is ablaze. The Beckel House, with 200 on the roof, was burned. Boats could not get within a mile of the place. The flames were raging at midnight near the Telephone Exchange, where girls were marooned. More than 500,000 people — one twelfth the population of two of the richest states in the Union — are homeless, many of them famished, in Ohio and Indiana. The toll of dead in Ohio alone is, according to the lowest estimate, 2,926; in Indiana, 545. Reports received from hour to hour indicate that these figures will probably be considerably increased when the last roll of the lost is made up. But the actual dead will never be known. The property loss is roughly figured at $100,000,000. The destitution of the thousands of homeless survivors, their nerves shattered by harrowing scenes and hairbreadth escapes from death by fire or flood is appalling, saddening. Herculean efforts are being made to relieve distress; troops and food and clothing are being rushed to the stricken districts, but the field of devastation is so wide that many more will perish before succor can reach them. When the floating fire came bearing down upon the flooded streets, hundreds jumped from roof to roof to avoid death. Many escaped, but many slipped, fell and were burned up before the eyes of the survivors. Others were cut off and consumed, caught in a trap between the twin terrors of this awful day. Snow and chilling frost have followed the rains and will doubtless aid in quelling the epidemic of flames, but the bitter cold means death to those who are left without food or shelter. Thousands are exposed to this new peril. Torrents' Scope Grows. Indianapolis, March 27.—The disastrous flood that has spread death, destruction and famine throughout the entire Middle West for three days continues its devastating course. The death list, according to the latest totals, will reach nearly 4,000. The damage in Ohio and Indiana alone will be $100,000,000. The number of dead in Dayton is estimated at 2,500 and the list is growing. The business district is in flames. The water is twenty to forty feet deep and high waves beat back all attempts to rescue marooned residents. The entire government machinery has been set in force to rush relief to the stricken districts. A million rations and tents for 20,000 persons have been put on the way by the War Department and President Wilson has issued an appeal to the nation to contribute aid. At Sharon, Pa., twenty persons are reported to have been drowned when the Shenango river overflowed its banks. The property damage in Sharon and vicinity is said to be close to $2,000,000. Food Famine Threatens Dayton. Dayton, O.—Following in the wake of the flood, which exacted a death toll of more than 2,000 lives, fire, which is threatening the entire city, is adding to the horror of the situation. Almost freezing weather prevails and a food famine is near. Funerals Mark Day at Omaha. Omaha, March 27.—Burying the dead and work of reconstruction occupies the people of Omaha.

A capital method of cleaning copper pans and kettles is to fill them first of all with boiling water and then to rub the outside with sour milk. The milk must have reached the condition of thick curds, a little being rubbed on with a piece of flannel. Buttermilk is even more satisfactory. When dry, the metal should be polished with a clean chamois leather. Garlic juice used to be considered the best cement for fine china in bygone days. To extract the juice from the garlics, they were crushed in a mortar and then pressed in a piece of muslin, the juice being then collected and painted on to the broken edges with a brush or a feather. The finest whiting, crumbled to a powder and then made into a paste with a drop or two of sweet oil, represents an excellent polish for metal dish and pan covers. This should be rubbed on with a piece of flannel, and a little of the powdered whiting enclosed in a muslin bag afterwards spdinked over the top. A gloss may be obtained by finally scouring briskly with a chamois leather. A little soap rubbed on the hinges of a door will prevent it from creaking. An old-fashioned method of cleaning an oven is that of placing a handful of straw inside it and setting fire to it. The oven door must be kept closed until the straw has burned itself out. The smoke was considered to soften the crust of grease and fruit which it is often impossible to prevent after meat or fruit tarts have been cooked in the oven. A knife may be required to scrape the stains, and the whole must be well scoured finally with a cloth wrung out in boiling soda suds. SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE A tiny piece of garlic laid on the lettuce half an hour before serving will give a slight savory flavor. Knives not in daily use should be well polished and buried in a box of sawdust until required for use. To render boots and shoes water-proof in damp weather rub a little mutton suet around the edges of the soles. Beeswax is just as efficacious. Always empty out any water left before filling the kettle. Very frequently the flat taste of tea is caused by using water that has already been boiled. If a strong brine of salt and water is thrown over the coals less soot will collect in the flues and chimneys. The fire, too, will burn clear and bright. When baking potatoes grease them first with a little butter, and when cooked they will be beautifully brown and crisp, with the glazed appearance that makes them so appetizing. Mayonnaise dressing will separate when too much salt has been added to the egg yolks, or when the oil has been dropped too fast, or if the ingredients are not thoroughly chilled when used. To Clean Plaster Ornaments. 15 Clean Plaster Ornaments. Plaster of Paris pieces are pretty just as long as they retain their spotless white color. If they become dusty they may be cleaned by scrubbing them with a soft brush dipped in gasoline. The first washing will leave the gasoline very dirty, so you must carefully wipe the figures and then repeat the process. When thoroughly dirty, and even this method of cleaning fails, the images may be made to look very attractive by painting with white alabastine, or given a glossy finish with white enamel. They may also be renovated by making a weak solution of isinglass water in which clean whiting is dissolved. Paint with this solution and set aside to dry. They are also very decorative when bronzed. Rice in French Style. Wash well a quarter pound of rice and blanch in boiling water for ten minutes and boil it in a saucepan with an ounce of butter, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a pint of milk, two bitter almond macaroons, a half ounce of orange peel cut into shreds, a half teaspoonful of orange flour water, 15 or 20 candied cherries cut in halves, the same number of large muscatel raisins, stoned, and a quarter ounce of candied angelica thinly sliced. When the rice is done pour the mixture into a mold. When cold turn out on a platter. Serve it with a sauce flavored with a gill of sherry or rum. Rubber Caps. Caps of rubber in plains and checks, as well as in solid colors of unusually pretty shades, are finished with a box plaiting of the rubber for a frill. They are quite practical for those who like a shower bath and are also used by the woman motorist for pulling over her hat to shield it from dust or rain.—Newark News. Pressed Beef. Boil a nice beef shank in plenty of water until the meat will fall from the bones and the water is reduced to one pint. Remove bones and gristle and chop the meat very fine. Salt and pepper to taste, add the liquor, stir thoroughly, put in a mold and set away to cool. Serve cut in slices. Removling Rust. Rust can be removed from steel by covering it with sweet oil for a day, then rub it with a lump of fresh lime and polish in the ordinary way. Fork for Mixing.
