Washington Tells About Mormon Leaders explain in Deta sue. Great Lesson Special to COLORADO STATESMAN Salt Lake City, March 29.—For a long while I have been anxious to get right into the midst of the Mormons to see what kind of people they are, what they look like, what they are doing and in what respect they are succeeding. I have been spending two of the busiest days I ever spent in my life in the very midst of these people. They have been mighty interesting days and I have seem some mighty interesting people. The leaders of the Mormon church from President Smith down have gone out of their way to show me kindnesses and to make my trip here successful. I am not going to discuss the Mormon religion as I am not a theologian; I shall have to leave that to others. I am always interested in studying and observing people regardless of their religion. One of the Mormon bishops called to see me, and from him I got some mighty interesting information that ought to prove of value to our race. In speaking of the Mormons, my readers must remember that it was only 66 years ago that led by Brigham Young, 150 people came into this country when it was a wilderness. They traveled in ox carts over a thousand miles from the Missouri River. The Mormon church itself was organized in New York State only 84 years ago. From 150 people, hardy pioneers who entered Utah 66 years ago the number has grown year by year until in Utah there are now over three hundred thousand Mormons and they have certainly made the desert blossom as a rose. I have never been among a more intelligent, healthy, clean, progressive, moral set of people than these people are. All through Utah they have turned the desert into gardens and orchards. Wherever one finds a Mormon colony there he finds evidence of hard work and wealth. The Mormon leaders here told me in detail about the policy that they pursued when they first came here, and here is a great for our people in the South and throughout this country. From the first Mormons consistently and persistently pursued the policy of having their people get hold of land, to settle on the soil and become farmers. They knew that if they once got possession of the soil and taught their people how to become successful farmers that they would be laying the foundation so secure that they could not be disturbed. Several of the leaders told me that when they first came into this country that there was great temptation to exploit the gold, silver and copper mines, but they would not let their people do this but held them to the soil. It is only within the last few years that the Mormons have begun to get wealth out of the mineral resources of the country notwithstanding they have known all along that this wealth existed. Now that they are in possession of the soil and have taught their people how to become successful farmers they say they can afford to go into mining. There are two parallels between the Negro and the Mormons. First, as my readers already know, the Mormons were most inhumanly persecuted almost from the first organization of their church. This was especially true in Missouri and Illinois. Hundreds of their followers were put to death. The courts gave them little protection. The mob that either killed or wounded the Mormons was seldom, if ever punished. They were an easy mark for any inhuman brute who wanted to either kill or wound them. Joseph Smith himself, the founder of the church was murdered in Illinois. But out of this inhuman and unjust treatment grew the strength of these people. The more they were punished the more determined they became to succeed. Without opposition and injustice, I question whether the Mormon Church would now be in its present flourishing condition. They were deprived of their property as well as their lives in their early years, but the more they were persecuted the closer they banded themselves together and the more determined they were to succeed. Persecution advertised this little sest to the world. The result was that through persecution their numbers increased instead of being diminished. The second parallel between the Mormon and the Negro is this. These people I am sure, have been misrepresented before the world. I have learned by experience and observation that it is never safe to pass final judgment upon a people until one has had an opportunity State Hiat & Nat Hiat Society State House CE PH ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO THE WILLIAMS WORLD JUBILEE THE WILLIAMS WORLD FAMOUS JUBILEE SINGERS MAY 2,1913 THE WILLIAMS WORLD FAMOUS JUBILEE SINGERS MAY 2,1913 AT THE AUDITORIUM the third annual visit of the Winthem to Denver on the Second of May any question ranks among thewave have sung themselves into the heart this character has ever done.

Over, York 6007 to get into the real life of these people. The Negro is suffering today just as the Mormons are suffering and have suffered, because people from the outside have advertised the worst in connection with Mormon life and they have seldom called attention to the best in connection with the life of the Mormons. And then I have learned, too, that no persons outside a race or outside a group of people can ever really know that race or that group of people until he gets into their homes and has a chance to observe their men and women and their children, has a chance to partake of their hospitality and get into their inner life. There are many people today who consider themselves wise on the condition of the Negro, who are really afraid to go into a Negro home, who never go into a Negro church or Sunday School, who have never met the colored people in any social circle, hence such people know little about the moral standards and activities of the colored people. The same I am convinced is true regarding the Mormons. The people who speak in the most disrespectful terms of these people are the ones who know least about them. (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) Dollar Money Report A.M.E. Church for Fiscal Year Washington, April 16.—According to reports made at the annual meeting of the financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church today (Wednesday), the denomination raised in dollar money collections $206,91217 for the fiscal year which ended March 31.

This sum does not include the thousands of dollars raised for the running of the various churches of the denomination, nor that raised in the special collections for general church purposes. Of the money raised during the year, eight per cent., $16,552.91, was turned over to the missionary department; a similar sum to both the educational and church extension departments of the denomination; 36 per cent., $74,437.66, retained by the various annual conferences for the support of super-annuated ministers, widows and orphans, and the remaining 40 per cent., $82,764.81, used for the payment of the salaries of the bishops general officers and other denominational needs. Bishop H. B. Parks, who presided, and the other members of the board congratulated Mr. Hawkins for the business-like manner with which he is conducting the affairs of the office. He is the first layman to hold the position, and was elected in May, 1913, succeeding the Rev. John Hurst, who was elevated to the bishopric. He has been an active worker in his denomination for thirty years. Resolutions of condolence and of praise for the life and services of Bishop William B. Derrick, who died at his home in Flushing, New York, Tuesday, April 15, were adopted by the board. The Fraternal Press in Chicago, of which Major R. R.

Coleridge Taylor Choral Society, of Washington, is arranging a benefit concert to contribute to this fund. Taylor, like a number of celebrities in music and letters, saved but little of tnis world's goods. The plight of his family should be a solemn lesson to the improvident. The Prudential Savings Bank of Birmingham, Alabama, celebrated its second anniversary by announcing total deposits of $50,000. This institution boasts of being the only one "of its kind in the county" to start business with a paid capital of $25,000.

The officers themselves are said to represent individually "a combined responsibility of more than $150,000." The Atlantic Monthly for June, published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston, the oldest and most exclusive literary magazine in the country, will contain a very exhaustive and interesting article by Booker T. Washington on The Trades Unions and the Negro. Mr. Washington, at the cost of a great deal of time and expense, has had direct communication with the head of every labor union in the country and has secured an expression from these heads concerning the attitude of each union toward colored labor. The article is one, we predict that will be widely read and commented upon. Hampton, Va., April 11.—Preliminary sketches have been drawn NO 34 by Edgar H.

An unfavorable report on changing the curriculum of the Colored High School was read and approved at last week's meeting of the School Board, which means that the plan of Commissioner Biggs to exclude languages and other advanced studies to Negro students will not be adopted. The Negro citizens vigorously opposed the Biggs proposition, and succeeded in convincing the members of the board that much harm would come of any movement tending to introduce industrial education in the Colored High School to the exclusion of advanced studies. New York.—It is reported that the fifteen colored girls employed as ushers at the Palace Theatre will receive their walking papers within a few days, and that white male ushers will succeed them. Percy Thomas, one of the managers of the house, has resigned, and it is said that the new manager does not favor employing colored female ushers. The Palace Theatre opened Monday week in opposition to Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. Fifteen colored female ushers, two colored footmen and two colored pages were employed. Three days after the theatre had opened Manager Thomas complained about the deportment of some of the ushers, and on one occasion had an argument with one of the girls who came to work in a low neck dress. Thursday he put people to work looking for colored male ushers, who would have gone to work had he not severed his connection with the Palace Theatre.—N. Y. Age.

New Machine in the Government Plant at Washington Saves Time, Labor and Space In Turning Out the Little Paper Squares. Washington.—Just think of it, postage stamps can now be purchased by the mile strip. Uncle Sam has just installed a new invention in the bureau of engraving and printing which manufacturers stamps at the rate of 12,000 per minute. It is a plate press which produces the little stickers on a continuous roll of paper. Further than that, the same press is apt to revolutionize printing from engraved plates; it is regarded as bearing the same relation to the development of the science of plate printing that the Mergenthaler linotyle machine bears to hand composition of type. This plate-printing press eliminates 23 processes in the former method of printing postage stamps; the only use, so far, to which it has been applied. The paper is fed automatically from the roll, inclosed in a safe-cylinder, to the press, which prints the stamps, dries the ink so that there is no trace of "offset," gums the back of the stamp-printed roll, dries the gum, breaks the hard, glazed, solid face of the gum, perforates and counts, and either rolls up the strip of stamps or slits them into strips of a single stamp's thickness for use in stamp-vending machines, which it also rolls up, or cuts them into sheets. The machines, which is looked upon as one of the mechanical wonders of the printing age, is the invention of Benjamin R. Stickney, a mechanical expert and designer in the bureau, whose salary has for years been only $1,200 per annum. Since completing the machine Mr. Stickney's salary has been advanced to $3,500. This is only one instance in many where Uncle Sam recognizes inventive genius in his employ. On an annual bill of half a million dollars for printing postage stamps, the bureau of engraving and printing is anticipating a saving of $400,000 annually through the installation of this device, a 67 per cent. decrease. If the machine takes to printing money and bonds and other securities the prospective economy will likely reach into the millions of dollars. The press, while it has not yet been speeded up, is expected to print from the roll at the rate of 75 feet of stamps a minute. The perforator and cutter can revolve even faster—four times as fast, making holes or strips, lateral or transverse, at the rate of 280 feet a minute. The device also means a great saying in space occupied and in manual labor. The press is about three feet wide and something less than 25 feet long, with a height of never over seven feet. Human direction will be required only to run the press and to direct the perforating machine—a man and a girl will make a crew. In the old way of making stamps, there was much handling with many separate processes. The paper on which the samps were printed was regarded as a valuable asset, and had to be guarded, so that in the unprinted bulk it was carried to a place of security after work every night, and back again to the presses every morning. The paper, before it is ready for printing by the new process, must be made wet, and wet according to a certain accurate standard of moisture. The old stamp presses could not apply the pressure necessary for dry printing. The sheet of unrolling paper ascends over rollers and is fed from overhead into the press. It passes down between the feed roller and the printing cylinder, on which is fixed the engraved plate from which the samps are printed, receiving the impression in passing. The paper, having received the stamp impression from the engraved plate, proceeds to a roller at the bottom of the press, and then ascends again to the top, where is passes through a group of ten cylinders, all heated by electricity. This is the method of drying the ink, and so effective is it that not a trace of "offset" is shown at any time in the process of making the stamps, or afterward. HIS ONLY SOLUTION. Senator Goff of West Vidginia, who has been transferred from the bench to the senate by the legislature as the only solution of the senatorial tangle, has been casting over his accounts to find how much money the senatorship cost him, as he is required to make a statement to the senate. The senator discovered the election cost five cents. This was the price of a telephone call from a friend at the state house informing him of his election. The friend paid the five cents. No Flies on Them. The teacher was intent on the lesson, and continued impressively: "And vast swarms of flies descended on the land and came into the houses of the Egyptians and covered their clothing and their tables and all their food, but (emphatically) there were no flies on the children of Israel." A small boy from the rear of the room interrupted: "Please, ma'am, there ain't now, either."—London Opinion. QUANAH PARKER'S WIT. Quanah Parker, until his recent death, chief of the Cherskee Indians down in Oklahoma, won the reputation of being the wit of his race. An occurrence in Washington a year before his death illustrated the peculiar laconic wit of this representative of a people that is supposed to have no sense of humor. Quanah had appeared a few years earlier before the committee, and its chairman had given him some very definite instructions to the effect that polygamy on his reservation should be stopped. He was told that his bucks should be made to send their surplus wives back to their parents. Two years elapsed and Quanah again appeared before the committee. Senator Clapp asked him if he remembered the injunction to make his followers dispose of all but one wife. Yes. Me tell 'em," said Quanah. "Did they send all their wives home but one?" asked the senator. "Yes. Bucks got one wife, no more, said Quanah. "Now, Quanah," asked Senator Clapp, "I am told on good authority that you yourself have six wives." "Yes. Me got six," said Quanah. "This will never do," insisted the senator. "You must go home and send those wives away. You must tell them to go back to their fathers." "You tell 'em," said Quanah. MEETS BUSIEST MAN. A number of years ago "Uncle Joe" Cannon and a party of congressmen made a trip down through the West Indies. Representative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania was historian of the expedition and the late Vice-President Sherman and Representative James R. Mann of Illinois, now Republican leader of the house, were two of its most active members. At San Juan, Porto Rico, they found the local legislature in session, and were warmly received. "One of them seemed very much interested in Mr. Mann," said Mr. Moore, "and told him he had read every one of his speeches in the Congressional Record. "At this Sherman gasped, and, grasping the colored member warmly by the hand, exclaimed: "Allow me to express my pleasure upon meeting the busiest man in Porto Rico." It was on the same trip that Cannon, then speaker of the house, got off his famous epigram on "how to build a Panama canal." "What do you think of the canal?" he was asked. "My boy, it's simply a matter of diggin' and dammin'," he answered. PLAYING IT BOTH WAYS. Two senators were watching preparations for an aviation flight at the army training school at College Park, Md. One of the army flyers was having difficulty in starting his machine. "Reminds me of the old farmer and his wife who first saw a train of cars standing at the depot," said one of them. "What do you think of it, pa? asked the old lady, after her husband had looked the engine over carefully. "She'll never start,' said the old man with conviction; 'she'll never start!' "Presently the engine gave a preliminary snort, got slowly under way and the train began to grow small in the distance. "Well, now, what do you think of it? demanded the old lady. "Her husband watched until the tail of the "in had disappeared around a curry. "'She'll ever stop,' he declared, 'she'll never stop.'" AN EXPERT NEEDED. Representative Kahn of San Francisco tells a story upon Luther Burbank an da certain congressman high in the councils of the Democracy, but whose name is not revealed because of his size and fighting reputation. It seems that this congressman two years ago toured the state of California. At Santa Barbara he met the wizard of plant life and the two dined together. According to Representative Kahn, Burbank immediately returned to his experimental gardens and began the culture of a peculiar variety of pea. It was to be a square pea in order that it might not roll off Ol—off of the Democratic congressman's knife! Advantage in Throwing Straight. Mr. Knox had what his fastidious wife called "a most annoying habit" of letting the handles of his knife and fork rest on the table cloth with the useful ends on the edge of his plate. "Oliver," she said quite meekly over the dinner, "I wish you would not do that—it is very uncouth, and you know better, too." Mr. Knox winced at the correction and looked off into space. "My goodness, Amy, I wonder how I ever got along without you to tell me everything. I sometimes marvel that they ever allowed me to live among civilized people at all," and he gently lifted the errant silver handles up on to the rim of his plate. "You speak as if I were nagging at you, Oliver, and I don't mean it that way at all, but I do like to have a husband I can be proud to exhibit in public. Never mind, dear, you will miss me when I am gone," and a little look of satisfaction stole over her countenance as she said it, for she well knew that Oliver Knox was a very dependent person. "Yes," he agreed vaguely, "but when I learn to throw straight I won't miss you so much." It's made right, and tastes right. None better made anywhere and This is a Strictly Colorado Production BE SURE AN TRY IT. PHONE MAIN 3028 RES. PHONE GALLUP 9 JOHN K. RETTIG Meats, Fancy and Staple Grocerie 1864 CURTIS STREET JOHN K.

The ranks of the National Negro Press Association have been invaded by the grim monster, Death, and this time he has taken away one of the most brilliant factors of our organization as well as a great luminary of the Baptist Denomination, in the person of the Reverend William J. White, late pastor of the Church at Augusta, Georgia. The deceased was in his eighty-second year of existence and was editor of the Georgia Baptist, a publication of thirty-three years' standing, which, through his continuous and devoted attention, holds its own among the number of other publications in various parts of the country. He lived in Georgia fifty years, and the services that he gave to his God, his people and his country were invaluable. He gave very valuable and material help to the Press Association as member of the Executive Committee, and from his long experience in the editor's chair, his suggestions and advices were accepted from time to time, tiding us over many obstructions and making the rugged paths smooth. He will be greatly missed by all with whom he came in contact, and the editor of The Colorado Statesman joins in offering condolence to the bereaved family, commending them to the care of Him who is a father to the fatherless and a friend to the widow and orphan. "A link in our chain is broken Which we cannot now replace, But the kind words he had spoken— In them we'll find solace." BISHOP W. B. DERRICK DEAD. With deep regret we here record the death of the Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick which took place Tuesday, 15th inst., at his home, Flushing, N. Y. Born in Antigua, British West Indies, July 27th. 1843, he became converted to the cause of Christ and His Church, ordained to the ministry in 1864 at Norfolk, Va., and nobly fought under the banner of the cross up to the time of his death. He was elevated to the Bishopric in 1896, and from that time he demonstrated by his special qualities with which God and Nature had blessed him, that he was a leader of not only the A. M. E. Church of which he was Bishop, but of his race. He was showered with honors and received some of the most valuable presentations from the King of England and other notable persons when he made several addresses in London a few years ago, and in some instances was designated a man of wonderful mentality. As an orator, educationist and minister he was wihtout a peer, and it is generally felt that his desime creates an almost irreparable loss to the church and country at large. While he had been suffering for some time, yet the end was not thought so near, until after pronouncement was made by Dr. Dan Williams, the eminent Chicago specialist; then all hopes were given up. The Colorado Statesman extends to the wife and others of the bereaved family its sincere sympathy, and prays that the protecting arm of Heaven will be thrown around to shield and defend them in this trying moment, so that encouragement may be afforded them in that though he is dead, yet we believe he has entered upon a higher life, that those noble qualities of mind and heart wrought out by long years of labor, pain and struggle here, have fitted him for the companionship of that illustrious company whose pure lives and great achievements have adorned the pages of history. We can only hope, as we believe, he will experience beyond the grave The freer step, the fuller breath, The wide horizon's grander view, The sense of life that knows no death, The life that maketh all things new. THINGS TO BE DONE IN THIS CAMPAIGN. Now that it is an established fact than an election for the Commission form of Government will take place on May 20th, there are certain things which The Colorado Statesman would like to see, viz.: That the candidates would come out and fearlessly express their views on the benefits to be derived from this new form; to what extent will they support laws tending to the welfare of the community; will they pledge themselves to subscribe their efforts to open the avenues of employment to the people of this city irrespective of class, creed, color or previous condition of servitude, so that a decent and respectable livelihood may obtain if they qualify for such positions; will they be honest, true and devoted to the oaths of their office which would inspire them with that fairness to uphold righteous and square dealing with rich and poor alike, and placing the rigor of the law on those who justly deserve to be punished irrespective of position; and last, but not least, will they do all in their power to raise the moral tone of our city, so that in turn our citizens may be heralded as those who are ever striving for the uplift of humanity and the supporters of honorable men and women who will faithfully represent us, in making a fair and impartial distribution of taxation according to our respective financial status, where the poor shall not be overburdened and the rich escape their legitimate obligations. These are some of the things we remind the people to demand from the political aspirants in this campaign, and this paper makes emphatic this statement to the people, that none but those who acquiesce to the foregoing statements and answer "I will to the best of my ability help to carry out these policies successfully," should be elected to handle the reins of our City and County government. This being one of the greatest campaigns in the history of Denver, let us evince the utmost interest in the same, and with a keen sense of our responsibility to provide for ourselves, arise with might and main and participate in a practical manner in this election, which is the only opportunity we will have in helping to dictate how we should be governed. Remember, Election May 20th! Urge Minimum Wage Scale for Women By T. ELLING, Chicago A minimum wage law for women would be welcome and would mark a stride for progress. If it can be demonstrated (I do not think it can be) that the lowness of wages paid women and girls is what causes immorality among them it is my opinion that the majority of employers would soon raise wages and favor a minimum wage law. Girls who go wrong usually get the start downward through the negligence or inability of ignorant or careless parents who are unqualified for the proper training of children. It is here a minimum wage law for men and women, assisted by a minimum education law, would have a more desirable effect. Suggestive songs, cheap dive dance halls, saloons, poolrooms, obscene theaters, disreputable resorts and cafes, these with their evil influences and finished product cause more girls (also boys) to go wrong than low wages ever did. The advertising given the immoral life through suggestive songs and other agencies has lifted its social stigma and made its entrance less reproachful. A number of candidates are only awaiting the provocation, which sometimes is low wages. While the fallen woman question is being discussed we would bring into the same question the male of the species (who, by the way, is much greater in number), and we may arrive at a more sensible plan of action. We shall have outgrown the causes of low wages, fallen people and their attendant evils when we have learned to exercise our intellects on problems concerning our social and economic conditions instead of the pink sheet. Is the orator's occupation gone, and is the spellbinder's day drawing to a close? Has the newspaper put them out of business? Samuel J. Elder, himself a speaker of more than common attainments, notes the fact, which he seems to deplore, that oratory as a means of spreading thought and knowledge, is being superseded by the printed word. True, there are no great successors of Daniel Webster, Wendell Phillips or Herny Ward Beecher, and the old lyceum is no more. But nearly every city has its public forum or forums, where every week topics of current interest are discussed by thoughtful men and women. And in Boston, at least, there is a superabundance of lecturers. In general, the public seems to be getting out of the habit of listening to lectures, orations and speeches and swallowing them whole, without question. This is the age of questions. Every thoughtful man or woman has more than anybody can answer. Newspapers, magazines and books have made this generation far more sophisticated, if not wiser or more profound, than its predecessor. That sophistication is fatal to the spellbinder's art. In order to be successful, the orator must appeal to the emotions of his hearers, and the more the public reads, the harder it is to play on its feelings. But who doesn't enjoy genuine oratory? Who doesn't like to have his feelings roused and his heart set afire by the burning words of an eloquent speaker? Feeling is the best known substitute for thinking, which at best is difficult. So, if Webster or Phillips or Beecher could speak to us on the questions of 1913 we would all flock to hear him. Right Treatment of Children by Parents By W. A. PETERS, Baltimore, Md. It is often said that the measure of parental delinquency should be established when children become delinquent. The point of this was emphasized by Edwin Mulready, secretary of the Massachusetts probation commission, by a story he told the other day to those interested in probation. It was given out of his long experience as a probation official and concerned a wealthy contractor in Boston. This man had a son and a daughter, both fine children. But their mother died. Their father remarried and the stepmother, not unlike others, showed more affection for her own children than for her foster children. The son, still a minor, got to drinking. He was arrested. His father refused to aid him and he was sent to the workhouse. Meanwhile, the daughter, lacking the sympathy of a mother, became wayward. Against her, also, the father's heart was closed. She went to work in a department store and was caught stealing articles from the store. Other things equally reprehensible this young girl was guilty of until she became amenable to probation and its reformative influences. But what of parental responsibility? The boy and the girl might have been saved from ill courses had they known the sustaining sympathy of a parent at the most critical point in their lives. What of the severe attitude of a father which compels the state to step in and take the place, as best it may, of a parent by practicing probation? Probation is preventive in its nature, but right treatment by parents is the best of all preventives. Ordinary Politeness is Most Pleasing Just plain, ordinary, everyday politeness is about the most pleasing thing a human being can have to offer. It sweetens the air. It cheers the heart. It feels good. It tastes good. It is good. It doesn't cost a cent and it will accomplish more in a minute than money and curses can get done in a month. The average American employee who deals with the public is distinctly disagreeable. Street car conductors are insolently deaf. Bank clerks are contemptuously brusque. Telephone girls are snappy. And dry goods "salesladies" are snippy. Waiters take your order when they please, bring your food when they get ready, and they go away and if you need another fork you may get up and get it yourself. A waiter in a New York restaurant took a meek looking old gentleman's order for a beefsteak and then departed and remained somewhere in the dim distance for a long time. By and by he came to the old gentleman, who had been sitting patiently with his hands folded. "How would you like your steak, sir?" asked the waiter. The old gentleman looked up, collected his thoughts and responded enthusiastically. "Oh, very much, very much, indeed." Some day the common herd who are jammed like cattle into elevated trains and punched in the back by guards and told to "step lively," who are hung on street-car straps, who are browbeaten, despised, snubbed and walked upon by public servants—some day this proletariat will rise and drive a few clerks about three feet into the ground. Oratory Being Replaced by Printed Word By JOSEPH LEVIN, Boston, Mass. Right Treatment of Children by Parents By W. A. PETERS, Baltimore, Md. Ordinary Politeness is Most Pleasing By Rev. Frank Crane, Chicago Candidate For Commissioner of Public Safety. Mr. M. T. O'Connor, who is a candidate for commissioner of public safety, is a man well known in our city, for 20 years a prosperous business man; a man who is a large taxpayer, and a man who has borne an excellent reputation. He was for several years secretary of the Plasterers' Union, which is one of the largest labor organizations in this city. Mr. O'Connor is one of those kind of citizens that go to make up a progressive city. He thinks no good citizen advocates what is commonly called an "open town." It is against good morals, good government and good principles. But every broad-minded citizen believes in equal rights to all, which means that thinking people believe that just so long as no one person or association violates the law of common decency, the law-abiding citizen of liberal views has just as many rights as the narrow-minded citizen of narrow views—and at the same time both have the right to follow their respective paths unhindered by the other, as long as neither violates the moral obligations of the law and of good citizenship. Mr. O'Connor is a broad-minded man, one who has at all times look- W. H. M T O'CONNOR ed to the welfare of the public; having during his 20 years as a citizen of Denver never taken part in any campaign, but was at all times in favor of home industry and was a legitimate builder of Denver. Mr. O'Connor says: "Denver is necessarily a city of amusement. For various reasons, the people who live here demand those liberties that are guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. There may be some who do not believe in any amusement that keeps the resident out late at night. If so, they are entitled to the right to retire early. In the same breath, there may be those who, for one reason or another, desire to remain out as late as midnight, or even later. They are entitled to the same personal privileges as are accorded to the residents who desire to retire early. I wish to say that if I am elected to the office of commissioner of public safety that I will not molest any law abiding citizen, so long as he keeps within the bounds of the law, and that I will insist on, furthermore, I wish to say that everyone will get a square deal from a man who has pledged himself to be on the square. Strickly Modern Furnished Rooms PERMANENT & TRANSIENT JOHN W. DANTZ, Prop. 2104 Arapohoe St. Denver Col. Cultivating Friendship. If a man does not make new acquaintance as he advances through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair.—Samuel Johnson. For Commissioner of Safety. The policy of this candidate is that Denver be an up-to-date city and live up to its name as the "Playground of America." In his experience as a member of the fire department, being a worker and executive officer, he feels that he has the necessary fitness for the position he now seeks; and in his spirit of fair play for such laws that will cater to the betterment and not the detriment of the people. GEORGE BECHERER he does not indorse a wide open nor hermetically sealed Denver. His cooperation with the Juvenile Court, morals commission and other agencies to reduce and eliminate crime will certainly be appreciated, as also his connections with various business associations which garrison him with the ability to grasp the live issues of the city at present, and make him thoroughly capable of dealing with them. The Colorado Statesman urges its subscribers and the public in general to bear the date of election, May 20th, in mind. Look for This Sign in Front of OurStore. THE WESTERN BEEF CO.

At the request of a number of taxpayers I am brought forward for election to the above office. Being a resident of Denver for very many years, and filling various positions in the city from time to time, chief of which was Civil Engineer, I feel from the experience gathered, that in the interests of the taxpayers I can serve M. B. John. B. Hunter faithfully if elected. A square deal to all men in my business is my platform, and knowing the good results that accrue from continually acting this way, I cannot but put the same in action in my public life. A man who is thoroughly conservant with the City must necessarily be acquainted with the needs of its improvement and the lasting benefits to be derived from such improvements. Feeling that there must be confidence placed in me by the people who requested me to become a candidate, I give the assurance that whatever lies in my power to assist in making Denver one of the most beautiful cities of the world, and worthy of its progressive citizens, the same shall be done. * Don't forget—election May 20th. For Commissioner of Social Welfare A resident and taxpayer of Denver for thirty years, who filled various positions with satisfaction, and from his experience as County Superintendent of Schools, Library Commissioner, Health Commissioner, etc., is a fit and proper person for the position he now seeks. He has also been successful in pro JOHN W FORD curing and providing the following institutions for the City and County: Municipal Lodging House, Municipal Farm, Municipal Grocery Store, Municipal Wood and Coal Yard, Free Care for Inebriates, Public Comfort Station for Women and also claims the distinguished feature of being the originator of the ordinance allowing laborers $2.50 per day and teams $5.00 per day. Remember Election May 20. (Advertisement.) WILLIAM E. HUTTON. Candidate for School Director, District No. 1. Mr. Hutton is no stranger to the citizens of Denver. His candidacy for the school director has been urged by a large number of parents who have the welfare of the schools uppermost in their hearts. He has lived 30 years in Denver, is 40 years old. Graduated from the Denver schools and also from Harvard University, is a teacher [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. WILLIAM HUTTON in the Denver Law School, also attorney for the Capitol Insurance Co. and for other companies, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Traffic, Athletic, Colorado Golf and other clubs. He is interested in every movement that has for its object the uplifting of Denver, which is almost a foreground, conclusion that his election is practically assured. Modern furnished rooms for rent. Mrs. A. Arnold, 2318 Arapahoe. Candidate for Commissioner of Safety Under the Commission Government the Commissioner of Safety will be the Chief Peace Officer of the city. As Sheriff he represents the police power of the state; as head of the Police Department he represents the power of the city. I believe this to be a wise arrangement, as it centers responsibility and prevents clash of authority. I offer myself as candidate for this important position. I have a right conception of the duties pertaining to it, and also, by God's grace, the will and power to perform them. My platform on which I expect to be elected is short and concisely expressed by the Psalmist: "EXCEPT THE LORD KEEP THE CITY, THE WATCHMAN WAKETH BUT IN VAIN." Peace is the important desideratum of all men compelled to share community life together. A city in which strife and crime is rampant is not a good place to live or to do business in. Peace is the first necessary guaranty for orderly and stable business. Peace and contentment among the people eliminate crime and make for security to life and property. Peace is the gift of God, and it is well for the city to rave a peace officer who trusts in God for the city's peace and safekeeping. It is of tremendous importance to be responsible for the city's peace and the control and repression of vice and LARS P. NELSON crime. This duty cannot be effectively performed in a spirit of bravado, braggadocio and self-importance. It requires a spirit that is at once humble, trusting in God, and watchful, with a full and complete reliance upon the truth expressed in my platform quoted above. Those who sneer and scoff at this proposition are neither competent nor safe to be entrusted with the duties of Chief Peace Officer of our city. Carl M. Lindquist, the big-heart ed, liberal, level-headed, squaredealing cracker manufacturer, is W. H. H. CARL M. LINDQUIST a candidate for commissioner of safety. Everybody in Colorado knows Carl Linquist, but everybody dosen't know that he is a candidate for office. He has served in the city council and in the state legislature. During these years of public service not one crooked act is charged against him that we have yet heard of. His record is clean. Of those who know him, no commendation is necessary. Those who do not, need only to investigate to be convinced of these facts. Mr. Lindquist has been in business in Denver since 1887, and employs 145 people. STEPHEN KNIGHT. Candidate for School Director, District No.1. Mr. Stephen Knight is manager of the Eagle Nilling and Elevator Co., and at the urgent request of many voters has allowed his name to be used as a candidate for School Director, a position which he now holds. As a business man he needs no introduction and his record as a member of the school board, speaks for itself.

I do not know how long 'twill last; But then it seems that I could stay And watch it fall the live-long day. In cadence soft and low it falls, And strikes the roof and then the walls Nor lingers long, but glides away, It is so full of work and play. It gathers in its tiny hand, And rolls along the grains of sand. With nimble feet it gladly goes To seek some feeble streams it knows. It tarries on each shrub and tree, And says to them, "Now drink of me." It does not pass the grasses by. It stops and satisfies their cry. The rain's a happy, jolly thing— As happy as a lark on wing— And why should I refrain to see The pictures which it makes for me? Now even when the day is done, And sinks to rest the clouded sun. The rain its dissin still will keep. And soothes me with refreshing sleep. —Written Especially for Southern Life. "Mammy won't be here much longer, and de l'il boy mus' be good and not ac' ugly and holler when she puts him in de tub. "He can't go sit wid his pa' at de table ef he ehn't clean and smellin' sweet and bein' like an angel— "He gwine to quit hollerin' dis minit—yes he is! He knows he's mammy's gittin' ole, and got a misery in her side, so she scarcely could sing when de preacher axed all dem what loved de Lawd, to sing las' night! "Dat's right—hol' up yer head, and let mammy part yer hair, like yer pa' got his'n parted—on de side! "Slick out de curls? O, no, don't slick out dem curls, darlin'—dey looks so pretty on dat blessed head—don't wet 'em no more!" And this is the "mammy" Lucille Stanton has painted in the picture reproduced. Glancing at the old face of the black mammy in the group of darky studies, one can almost hear the crooning voice, the gentle intonation, and that quaint monologuing of the black mammy as she bathes the little boy to go "sit by his 'par' at the table." She talks through him to the grown-ups, and excites his sympathy by the misery all mammies have in their side. In the face of Miss Stanton's mammy is suggested a world of strength, and tenderness, and there is a something in the picture that suggests a requiem for the past departing mammy who was the loving care-taker of "Mis'us' precious baby boy." Dr. M. C. B. Mason, for twenty years corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, has just been elected corresponding secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Mason's headquarters will continue at Cincinnati, where he has lived for years. His plans are first to get the negro interested in the work of the association by organizing local auxiliaries and in the support of the Crisis of which Dr. Du Bois is editor; secondly, to secure better and larger facilities for negro education, especially in the rural districts; thirdly, to secure better sanitary conditions for negroes in the larger cities and towns; fourth, to secure all the rights and privileges that inhere to negroes under the Constitution. Spring sunshine dries up all the mists of winter in the human heart. There are people in the negro race who almost shout every time an enterprise run by black men fails. They do not desire to see persons of their own color succeed. Such individuals either do not patronize colored enterprises or they go to the pains to cheat these businesses out of money and by other means put impediments in the way of their success. If the business fails they preach it from the house tops and cry aloud, "I've got no confidence in colored folks' business" when they contributed no little themselves to the failure. Our only redress from such treatment is to stop dealing with a person of this type when he or she is found out. Some fellows smoke up, and they hear from other fellows that they'll smoke down some day—but I never can tell. The ardent philosophy of Nietzsche and his like are not wanted, these last weeks of the good old summer time. There is no time in this brief way to explain to foolish people. The fellow who winks at every girl he sees evades the police by an eye-lash. The man who lives for himself soon finds out that he can die alone just as well. The world is full of people as much interested in their own affair as you are in yours. Some men are born conceited, but most of them acquire self-conceit and think it is self-esteem. It is a fact that straws acted upon by the wind tell in what direction it blows; so do certain noteworthy incidents of racial life indicate the trend of its destiny. We have in mind two such incidents which have occurred recently, one in Washington and the other at Cornell university. Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain created a historic incident and broke all precedents by addressing a negro audience, the local branch of the Y. M. C. A., in Washington a few days ago on the duties of citizenship. The audience, an intelligent one, realized and appreciated the fact that Mr. Bryce was the first representative of a great foreign power to take an active interest in informing himself as to the progress made by their people and giving public expression to the information he had acquired. He said in the course of his address many splendid things, and among them this: "Our progenitors did your progenitors a grave injustice in bringing them to this country in a state of servitude, and it is our duty to do all in our power to make up for this injustice." None but a good and great man could have made such a confession and backed it up with a declaration that the injustice done us, as a race, should be repaired in so far as reparation can be made now by the meeting out of justice and fair treatment in all that pertains to us and our duties as citizens. He was accompanied by Mrs. Bryce, and was given a tremendous ovation. As he entered and left the hall the audience grose while the band played, "God Save the King." The negro people have never failed to respond nobly to those who have given them one word of encouragement or sympathy in their endeavor to measure up to the duties of good citizenship. On the same that Mr. Bryce spoke, another historic incident occurred at Cornell university by the awarding of the prix 'dhonneur by the Society of French Professors of America to James Bertram Clarke, a negro student at that institution, for a French essay on a literary topic and a translation of a French author. He was also awarded other prizes. He is a junior in the College of Arts. Clarke wrote an article some time since on the Negro question at Cornell which caused a storm of comment. He is a native of the West Indies. But it matters not from where he comes, he is a negro and he is making good, as thousands of young negroes are doing whenever and wherever they have anything like a fair opportunity. "One of the serious problems of the day that causes the intelligent parents no little though is the selection of a suitable institution for the proper training of their children—an institution from which the child will not return worse off morally, physically and intellectually than when he entered," said Prof. J. A. Wilson in an address at Sam Houston college, Austin, Tex. "After careful observation it is being a recognized fact that the best place to train negro youth is in the church schools. For in these schools the student is imbued with religious principles without which no life is a complete success. Hence the heart is trained side by side with the head and the hand." The nearest way to an honest friendship is the direct way. Offer floral offerings to the man alive who can sniff their fragrance. Several years ago there was a strong sentiment in the M. E. church to elect a negro bishop, and they began to look around for the man. There loomed upon the horizon apparently the figure of a black Moses. He was the most brilliant man that Gammon Theological seminary ever turned out, and had had the honor to speak upon the platform with the south's greatest orator, Henry W. Grady. He could preach with such power that men would cry out, "Stop, we can stand no more!" He was a profound scholar; he was genial and pleasing in manner and apparently just the man to grace the Episcopacy and honor his race. But what was the consternation of the church and his friends to find that there was a weak link in his character. Thus was given a blow to the sentiment in favor of a negro bishop from which we have not yet recovered. One man downed us; it will take ten thousand pure, spotless lives to restore us. The gladness of young people should be encouraged far beyond the point of youth into the shade of mellower days. The inquisitive girl and the man who wants information are parallel. The country was made for man, but the town was inspired by Mammon. Florida isn't talking—but she's full of hidden gold. It is never too late to love and learn. Grin and bear it. The world would not be such a terrible place did not individuals make it so. J. B. WEBB CLAIMS KINSHIP TO TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MRS. T. R. MARSHALL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MRS. T. R. MARSHALL DANCE PLANS ARE TOLD BY MISS COMSTOCK PROF. J. B. MOORE, SECRETARY BRYAN'S AIDE A genealogical record, going back to 1350, proves that J. B. Webb, of Lombard, Ill., is entitled to membership in the Mayflower and Colonial societies as well as the Sons of the Revolution. His antecedents took part in every war the United States ever fought. Webbs have been among the residents of the country ever since it Lombard, Inc., is entitled to membership in the Mayflower and Colonial societies as well as the Sons of the Revolution. His antecedents took part in every war the United States ever fought. Webbs have been among the residents of the country ever since it has been a good place in which to live. Webbs were among those who made up the original colonies, and Webbs were among the first to take up arms when America decided to become a republic. Probably the most interesting branch of the Webb family was that which left the Old Dominion and took up their residence in Kentucky. The original Webbs of Kentucky increased rapidly and their progeny now inhabit every county in that famous state. With hardly an exception every resident of Lechter, a little county in eastern Kentucky, is related, directly or indirectly, to the Webb family, which makes that family without doubt the most remarkable one in the United States. There are six surviving children of Benjamin Webb, the original settler, and their immediate descendants are legion. They are as follows: Aunt Letty, aged eighty, who has eighty grandchildren. The people of Washington are intensely interested in Vice-President in Vice-President and Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall—"the happiest married couple in America." W. H. They are frank, easy-going "Hoosters," who laugh at the world and make others laugh with them. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall came to Washington smiling, and they have smiled ever since. "People delight me," said Mrs. Marshall, "and Washington is full of all sorts of people. Back in the days when I was deputy clerk of Steuben county, Indiana, helping my father, I became interested in men and women, and my interest has increased day by day. I never tire of people, real people, and that is one reason I have a good time everywhere I go. I liked the folks who came to Steuben county court to attend court or to trade horses. I like the people in Washington. Bored. No, I'm never bored." "Mr. Marshall is the better half of our family. His charities are wider, his sympathies wider, and his religion deeper than mine; and I think his soul is all right until he goes to grand opera and looks and acts bored, and then I doubt the existence of a soul in his body.

"Little business people, who are the backbone of our country," says Miss Comstock, "having no place to entertain friends and not financially able John Bassett Moore, professor of International law and diplomacy at Co urpocracy at Columbia university, is the new counsellor of the state department, and will be the acting head of the department whenever Secretary Bryan is absent from Washington. Prof. Moore has held the chair of international law at Columbia university since 1891 and is a recogniz BROOKLYN ed authority on the subject. He has already had considerable experience in state department affairs, as he was third assistant secretary of state from 1886 to 1891 and was assistant secretary in 1898. He resigned as assistant secretary to go to Paris as counsel to the American peace commission in the negotiations that brought about the end of the Spanish-American war. He was a law clerk in the state department in 1885. Prof. Moore has been secretary of fitty great-grandchildren and an even dozen great-great-grandchildren.

He has 150 grandchildren, eighty great-grandchildren and sixty great-great-grandchildren, all of whom live within ten miles of the old gentleman. Uncle Miles has seen the snows of seventy-five winters, but is still able to ride over the mountains to visit his best girl—his sister-in-law, by the way. Aunt Sally, though seventy-three years old, is known as a worker. Her husband, aged 78, is still living. They have thirteen children, eighty grandchildren, sixty great-grandchildren and twenty-eight great-great-grandchildren. Uncle Wiley is the boy of the family. He is seventy-one and has been a widower for seven years. He has eleven children, sixty-five grandchildren, thirty great-grandchildren. Within the vicinity where these old people live there are about 800 of their descendants, and of the 12,000 population of the county it is said the degree of consanguinity can be traced enough to prove them all relatives of each other. and grand opera furnishes the greatest music." "Do you believe that you and Mr. Marshall are the happiest married couple in Washington?" Mrs. Marshall was asked. "One of the happiest, I imagine," she said, smiling. "Why so much happiness in your home in this age of separation, divorces and hysteria?" "Because my ambition has been satisfied in my husband," declared Mrs. Marshall. "We are congenial; we like the same things, as a rule, and he is intellectual. I have never been able to fathom him yet, and that makes him interesting. "Mr. Marshall is kind, sympathetic and ready to sacrifice. We give and take. We have been married seventeen years and during that time we were never separated for a day. He is my companion; I am his. We rock along together. He is my idol." "Under what circumstances did you and Mr. Marshall meet and become lovers?" "I knew Mr. Marshall for three years before I discovered that he had designs on me," said Mrs. Marshall. "I was deputy clerk of Steuben county court to my father. Mr. Marshall was a journeyman judge.

Microscopic Pension: The discovery of a fraud in connection with certain British military pensions, the other day, has brought to light some curious facts about these annuities. A few years ago, for instance, there was an old sailor in Portsmouth Workhouse in receipt of what was believed to be the smallest pension extant—fourpence a year. Each quarter he received a penny, to gether with a stamped envelope in which to return a receipt. He was usually granted leave of absence to convert his asset into cash and then into the liquid form of "a half of fourale." CALIFORNIANS DEFER ACTION ON ALIEN LAND BILL QUESTION PENDING ARRIVAL OF SEC- RETARY BRYAN. NEW BILL BEING DRAWN LEADERS DECLARE THERE IS NO DISPOSITION TO ACT HASTILY Western Newspaper Union News Service. Sacramento, Calif., April 24.—No further action will be taken on the proposed alien land laws for this state until after the arrival in Sacramento of Secretary Bryan of the State Department. This announcement was mode immediately upon receipt of formal notification of the secretary's purpose to start from Washington. Leaders of the Legislature stated that there was no disposition to act hastily and that all were agreed it would be the part of courtesy to President Wilson to await the arrival of Mr. Bryan to hear the views of the federal government before the land bills were brought out on the floor of the Senate. It was stated that the new amendments to the bill before the Senate were in preparation, but would not be made public until Mr. Bryan had viewed them. Governor Johnson received the following message in reply to his invitation to Mr. Bryan to be a guest at the governor's mansion during his stay in Sacramento: "Hon. Hiram Johnson, Sacramento, Calif.: Your kind invitation received and appreciated. It will give me pleasure to be your guest. Please convey to the Legislature my thanks for the resolutions adopted.

RELIEF FROM THE TARIFF. Predicted by Democratic House Leader in Opening Debate on Bill. Washington.—Beginning the debate in the House on the Democratic tariff revision bill, Representative Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, the majority leader, predicted great relief for the nation through the passage of the pending bill; Representative Augustus P. Gardner of Massachusetts voiced Republican skepticism for the country's future under such a tariff system, and Representative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania expressed the opposition of the Progressive party to all tariff bills framed under the present system. Mr. Underwood, in outlining the bill, severely criticised the protective tariff theory based on the difference in cost of production at home and abroad and praised the competitive tariff theory, declaring it would strengthen American industry and send American products into the world's markets.

Pittsburg, Pa., April 24.—The lives of 100 miners, possibly 120, were snuffed out when a disastrous explosion occurred in the Cincinnati mine of the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company at Finleyville, about twenty-seven miles southeast of this city. Over three score of workmen in the mine escaped to the surface, crawling most of the way on their hands and knees through deadly gas fumes and over debris. A number sustained burns. Seventy bodies of victims have been recovered. The bodies were located by rescuing squads of the United States bureau of mines, the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company and of the Pittsburg Coal Company.

Observations Show That in Their Migrations They Travel From Africa to Helgoland at Rate of 180 Miles an Hour. The great problem of how small birds were able to manage long flights from other countries exercised the minds of naturalists for centuries. The first man to collect accurate information on the subject was the late Herr Gatke. Living on the little Island of Helgoland, in the direct route of migration, and entirely devoted to his subject, he was able to verify for himself many facts which had until then escaped notice. For instance, he pointed out that birds on migration often flew very high—probably as much as 12,000 feet (over two miles) above the ground. That they do fly at a great height has been corroborated by astronomers, who have seen birds flying across the face of the moon at a height of not less than one mile. Gatke's idea on speed were probably exaggerated, but only by a theory of a tremendous swift flight at a high altitude could he account for the fact that certain birds were never, or rarely, seen in the countries between their winter and summer quarters. For instance, he pointed out that the blue throat, which winters in Africa and breeds in Scandinavia, is but rarely met with in any of the countries on the line line of route—Italy, Greece and southern Germany. When they arrived at Helgoland they came in large flocks and were tired and exhausted; also they always arrived at the same hour—somewhat late in the morning. He thought it probable that they left Africa at dusk the previous evening, and by flying at the rate of 180 miles an hour would be able to reach Helgoland in the one flight. Between 1860 and 1887 the British association granted some money to a special committee for the study of migration, and by means of schedules much information was collected about the birds that are killed annually at coast lights. Although many facts were thus obtained the observations in this respect are almost entirely dependent on weather conditions. In fact, it may be said that the only migration that can be actually seen is that which has partly failed, for it is only when delayed or held back by storms or fog that birds obviously on passage are encountered along the coast or in other places where they are not usually found. In Denmark and Germany ornithologists have been experimenting by ringing birds and having those that are caught returned to the address given on the aluminum band placed on the bird's leg. In this way the habits or migration, speed and direction of flight and other facts are discovered. Storks have given the most striking results from ringing. Without exception all storks that have been recovered in the first autumn after ringing had traveled in a due southeasterly direction. From Hungaria to Palestine no ringed birds have been procured, but from Palestine four have been returned, from Alexandria one, Blue Nile one, Victoria Nyanza one and no fewer than seven from the Transvaal, Natal, Basutoland, etc., while of the Hungarian storks (marked by the Hungarian office) no fewer than seventeen have been recorded from the various localities in South Africa. It is, therefore, practically certain that north German and Hungarian storks travel southeast to Palestine and thence due south to South Africa. Miracle of Memory. A petal fell from a rose in a bouquet which a delicate girl was carrying through the street and fluttered towards the ground, and just then the muddy boot of an old cleaner of the streets got in its way, and with the dew of its own life it attached itself to the humble covering of humble feet, and later when the man glanced down and saw it, he smiled at the incongruousness. And as he smiled, this crude and homely mind settled itself upon the dainty petal and with a passing breeze of fancy was borne away from the artificial grandeur of the city, across the fields and rivers and mountains, and while his feet still trod the stony street, his soul was in the little old-home cottage where his boyhood was spent, and he stood under the old rose bush which hung over the door, and he lifted up his arms and took great masses of bloom into their embrace, and buried his face in their glory, and the tired old man was a boy again. And yet they say there are no miracles today!—Universalist Leader. About Candles. Candles which have been frozen will burn longer than those which have not. If candles are too large for the sockets for which they are intended, hold the ends in hot water for about one-quarter of a minute, then press into the sockets of the candle-holders. If, however, the old method of cutting away the ends is employed, be sure the shavings are kept. They are excellent for cleaning the top of the range. When the stove is warm, sprinkle with candle shavings, and as they melt, rub the stove with a rag. The rag will absorb most of the wax, but enough will remain on the stove to keep it from rusting. Work Has Lasted More Than Thirty Years. Sir James Murray Tells of Scope of Undertaking, and Difficulties of Compiling Oxford Lexicon—Be Finished in 1917. In an old English garden at Oxford, away from the hurry and strife of affairs, the wonderful architecture of the new English dictionary silently approaches completion, says the London Post. More than thirty years has this treasure house of the language been in building. Many of the first enthusiasts have passed away, Dr. Furnivall and Professor Sket among them, but the master builder, Sir James Murray, abides still at the task, his natural strength unabated, it would seem, not withstanding his seventy-six years. Summer and winter he rises at six o'clock in the morning and works at the dictionary the day through. In the preparation of the first section of volume X (Ti-Tombac), which has just been published, Sir James worked ninety hours a week for three months. The history of "to" with the infinitive alone cost two months of toil. Asked as to the probable date of completion of the dictionary, Sir James had an answer which gave him obvious pleasure. "I have got to the stage when I can estimate the end," he said. "In all probability the dictionary will be finished on my eighteenth birthday, four years from now. My colleagues, Dr. Bradley and Dr. Craigie, are busy with 'S,' and I have penetrated into the second half of 'T,' which I expect to complete in two years. By that time the three of us will be at liberty for the last six letters of the alphabet. "At first we calculated that the dictionary would run into eight volumes. That calculation was made on the basis of existing dictionaries, Johnson's and, in particular, Webster's; but we were not long in finding that there had been a tendency, either from the pressure of the publisher or a natural weariness to hurry the work in its latter parts. Ten volumes came even to be narrow limits for the way in which we planned to treat every word, small and great." Asked about special difficulties and problems which have arisen in the course of his labors, Sir James had much to say. He referred to that elusive class of words whose parentage cannot be traced; they defy the telescope of the lexicographer. "Whenever we write down 'etymology unknown' it means that days and weeks of study have been spent without other result. Every conjecture made as to the possible origin has been carefully tested and abandoned before we write that final epitaph of failure." Sir James' spirit of devotion to the building of the dictionary impresses every visitor to his garden at Oxford. While he impatiently suffers the mere interrupter, Sir James pays a warm tribute to correspondents in Britain and in many parts of the world who are helping on the work. He made special reference to the librarians of the library of congress at Washington and of the Boston Athenaeum for turning up and copying passages from American books not in English public libraries. There are a hundred others to whom, he said, the thanks of himself and his colleagues were due. To all these the completion of the Oxford dictionary will be a great festival, memorable in the annals of literature. Where the Best Man Fails. Evidently a school of training is needed for groomsmen. A parish clerk, who has been officiating for thirty-seven years at a London West End church, famous the world over for its numerous society weddings, declares that groomsmen are rather noted for absentmindedness. In particular, the man in that position, falls to look after the bridegroom's hat, and left to himself, nearly always lets the bridegroom go away hatless. "Why," continued the old clerk, "when Mr. Asquith was married—four prime ministers signed the register; Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Balfour, Lord Rosebery, and the bridegroom himself—his hat was left behind in the vestry, and his best man was no less important a person than Lord Haldane, the present lord chancellor, whom you would have thought was to be relied on, and the worst of it was Mr. Asquith wears a very large-sized hat, very difficult to replace. Lord Kitchener I have seen as best man once. But if I had not kept vigilant watch, the bridegroom would have gone away bareheaded." Utilizing the Waste In the city of Brussels, the school children were asked by their teachers to gather up as they came and went from school such apparently valueless objects as old metallic bottles, capsules, tin cans, tinfoil, paint tubes, refuse metal and deliver the same into the keeping of their teachers. Within eight months they collected: 1,925 pounds of tinfoil, bottle capsules, 4,415 pounds, 220 pounds of old paint tubes, 1,221 pounds scraps of metal, total 7,781 pounds. This heap of rubbish was sold and its proceeds applied so as to completely clothe 500 poor children and send 96 to recuperative colonies and there still remained quite a balance. Stop letting things go to waste and thus administer to your independence in later years. MORGAN'S WILL WIDOW LEFT $1,000,000.00, MUCH REALTY, AND IS ASSURED OF $100,000.00 INCOME. $200,000,000 TO SON $200,000,000 TO SON DAUGHTERS GIVEN $3,000,000 EACH AND TWO SONS-IN-LAW BE- QUEATH D: $1,000,000.00 Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York.—"I commit my soul into the hands of my Saviour in full confidence that, having redeemed and washed it in His most precious blood, He will present it faultless before the throne of my Heavenly Father; and I entreat my children to maintain and defend, at all hazard, and at any cost of personal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, once offered, and through that alone." This is the extraordinary and striking utterance which begins the last will and testament of John Pierpont Morgan, who died at Rome on March 31st last, whose body, heaped over with flowers from the crowned heads of Europe was, a fortnight later, brought back to his own land and borne to its last resting place at Hartford. After making a number of bequests the residue of the estate, estimated at $200,000,000, is left to the son, J. P. Morgan. To the widow is bequeathed $1,000,-000, an assured income of $100,000 annually, a country and town house and a large amount of personal property. The three daughters inherit $3,000,-000 each and the two sons-in-law $1,000,000 each. About a dozen friends are remembered with gifts ranging down from a $25,000 annuity. Scores of household and business employés are substantially remembered with annuities of cash gifts, in no case less than $1,000. No specific disposal is made of the great art collection, worth many millions, but Mr. Morgan expressed the hope that his son would carry out his intention of making it available to the American people. The chief bequests to charity are a $500,000 fund to St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City, the income therefrom to be used in the support of the ministry; $100,000 endowment of the Episcopal mission stations in the state of New York and a $100,000 gift to the Home of Rest for Consumptives. WILSON ADVISES CARE. California Legislators May Amend Allen Land Measure. Washington.—President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, following the precedent of previous administrations, have made known their views on the international character of the legislation now pending in California by which Jauanese would be prevented from owning land in that state. In a telegram to Governor Hiram W. Johnson of California, made public both at Sacramento and Washington, Secretary Bryan expressed the view of President Wilson that the California Assembly bill might be construed as a violation of treaty obligations with Japan, while the Senate's measure as drawn would not be objectionable if alien land legislation is to be enacted at all. Adams May Become Mexican Minister Washington.—Former Governor Alva Adams is being considered in connection with the appointment of an ambassador to Mexico. London Suffragettes Saved by Police. London. — The suffragettes have plenty of evidence that the public has tired of militancy, and only the protection afforded by large bodies of police saved the women from the hands of angry mobs. At Brighton the suffragettes were chased off the Esplanade and took refuge in a neighboring house. Snyder Chosen President of College. Greeley.—Dr. Z. X. Synder was chosen president of the State Teachers' college for the next four years at the regular April meeting of the board of trustees, and A. J. Park and George D. Statler, both of Greeley, were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. Methodists Hold Semi-centennial Fort Lupton.—One of the greatest celebrations in the history of Fort Lupton took place when five hundred people from out of town points gathered at the First Methodist church to celebrate the semi-centennial of Methodism in Fort Lupton. Swiss Police Fail to Locate Martin. Veyey, Switzerland.—The police of this city have visited every hotel, boarding house and clinic, taking with them a photograph of Joseph W.

BY THE HOUR OR DAY AT REASONABLE RATES a Triumph of Modiste's Art Updrafts & Endowment An evening gown of black chiffon richly embroidered with beads and jet over an underskirt of black liberty satin. The corsage is of cream lace. Practical and Lasting Decorations That Are In Most Respects Better Than the Real Article. Permanently scented flowers—roses, violets and carnations—are a practical and lovely decoration for the dining table. These exotics are of the natural sizes and coloring and their perfumes are the same as those grown in garden or conservatory. They are made of a peculiar Japanese fabric which faithfully imitates the appearance of petals and leaves and to go with them are lovely feathery ferns that would never be suspected of artificiality. The beauty of these flowers is their unfadable quality. After a few hours the atmosphere of the dining room becomes a bit heavy with their perfume, but they never languish under the lights of candles and electric bulbs. With a dozen of these Japanese flowers may be mingled a few of natural growth, to make the illusion complete. MATERIAL FOR PILLOW TOPS Some Exquisite Goods Shown From Which Housewife May Make Her Choice. Moquette velours, new among pillow top fabrics, is a lovely weave of softest coloring in Persian rug designs and, while a bit expensive, is reputed to wear indefinitely. Of equally attractive design and coloring are the squares of silk tapestry or silk damask that come in the various pillow sizes, and somewhat more practical looking are the tops of hand-tooled leather in Indian red, Chinese blue and Japanese tea green. A new material of the launderable sort that is ideal for pillow tops and far from costly is an unfadable madras of lacy openwork weave. It comes in lovely shades of green, brown, blue, rose and gold; in two-toned effects and in combinations of brown with green or rose and of pale blue with gold or violet. In Pastel Shade. It has become quite a fad to have the combinations, corset covers, petticoats, gowns, etc., in colored batiste to match the costumes with which they are to be worn, or else to harmonize with the decorations of the boudoir, particularly in the case of gowns and petticoats. The trimmingss are usually lace of the shadow or val variety. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are used on gowns and petticoats. This fad will probably continue until hot weather arrives, at which time there is nothing better than white. Milliner's Old Ribbons. A milliner, who was renovating old ribbons, did it in this way: First she smoothed them gently, then sponged them with weak ammonia water, shook them briskly in the air and laid them between towels for a few minutes. When ready to press she had several hot, heavy irons ready. She laid the ribbons smoothly between fresh white tissue papers and pressed them quickly. When ironed she examined them critically in a strong light and sponged out every shiny streak with alcohol. New Spring Trimmings. Now sun umbrellas in pyramid, dome and bell shape are covered with surah silk in shades of violet, bronze and marine blue. They are trimmed with a couple of flat folds set a little above the edge, and when not in use are slung over the arm by means of a ribbon strap laid flat on the stick, which is long and straight.—Harper's Bazar. For afternoon wear. Even the tailored suits for afternoon wear are one-piece dresses with coats instead of skirts and coats. In Simple Necklace or in Festoons It Is the Choice of the Devotee of Fashion. The pearl necklace is a dictator of fashion at the present time. It must be visible upon the uncovered throat, which is the position that best suits the milk-white luster of the gems, and because it does not cling very tightly to the neck but droops downwards the corsage of the day-time frock must be cut low, and that of the evening frock still lower, in the graceful V design. In the day the necklace is only of moderate length, a mere string of pearls, but for full-dress wear ropes of the gems are worn, festooned, looped and arranged as if falling from an epaulette boss upon the shoulder to show off their exquisite luster. As a girdle drooping below the waist there is manifold beauty in a string of the jewels, and some women give their necklaces a sun bath by wearing them to weigh down the chiffon motor veil that preserves the complexion in more radiant climes than this. TAILOR-MADE SUIT A tailor-made suit of white and black colored checked broadcloth with coat of brick colored material trimmed with checks. Lace Flowers. Every material and method of modeling is used in constructing artificial flowers. Some beautiful blossoms are made in cream lace. For instance, a large rose is surrounded by a wreath of leaves made with the needle in the blanbance of a net mesh ground. The beautiful blossom itself is composed of a series of petals in flowered lace, slightly curved and placed true to nature one by one, like the best specimens of imitated blossoms. Each part is invisibly wired. Handy Vanity Bag. The handiest and most compact vanity bag is made of Dresden ribbon fitted with three pockets to hold mirror, powder puff and smelling salts.
