Parker Camp Wri The American Negro Africa the Coming Continent Hon. Jos. Parker Camp Writes on African Immigration-- The American Negro Fully Equipped for work of Regeneration. There seems to be no little amount of interest manifested throughout the country in behalf of immigration to Liberia, Africa, which is the only place on the African continent open to Negro immigration. Argument, which cannot be successfully refuted has been made by many who favor such a movement, and among them we are pleased to mention the Hon. Joseph Parker Camp, who as an exponent of the cause presents some logical reasons in the following letter to Mr. George W. Summers, Assistant Secretary of the white Advisory Board of the Colorado African Colonization Company. The board is composed of over one hundred of some of the best and most influential citizens of the state. Yours of the 13th., and the copy of "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" containing my letter to you of Oct. 15th., both came last night. I was surprised to see myself in print but not displeased. Anything that I can do to guide our colored friends into the sublime idea that Africa is the coming continent; and that is their continent; and that the American Negro has been qualified by his sojourn here to go back and lead in its civilization; will be done. I will join any movement that is designed to assist him to do this, and I cannot believe that he will reject his opportunity, for then the vast treasures of sympathy and love and tears and blood and gold that have been poured out in his behalf since 1840. have been poured out in vain. The American Negro of today is equipped to return to the land of his fathers and carry to this successful conclusion this mighty work of uplift and regeneration. If he cannot do this, or if he refuses to do it, he will prove to the world what his enemies have always said of him—that he is unfit to lead and is created to follow. This must not be. He cannot allow it to be said of him that he is unable or unwilling to bear his own banner in his own country, for if he yields this right, he need VOL. XX. The letter reads:— never expect to hold any other. If he does not lead he will be compelled to follow. He sees the white man plunging into the vast storehouse of untold and unimagined wealth and taking what is his without protest and with not even a thought, and yet claims equality in leadership. It is high time that the American Negro reassumes his birthright, or forever holds his peace. I know that his way will be opened. God is only waiting to see his face turned toward Africa before making for him a path across the sea. In the meantime I shall not be idle. Yours in earnest, (signed) Jos. Parker Camp. To Geo. W. Summers, Esq, Asst. Secretary to the Board. THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER The question, can the Negro make a good soldier has been so often answered that it appears like folly in any one to refer to it, the proof of their valor on many hard fought field is so abundant that it cannot be refuted. The Negro as a soldier is so closely interwoven with the history of the country that to speak of the one is simply to associate the one with the other. There are some facts in this connection that are as imperishable as the country itself and can never be forgotten, nor does one tire in referring to them; viz., the death of Crispus Attucks, the part the Negro took in the defense of the city of New Orleans, where the death of the British Commander in Chief was at the hands of a Negro Rifleman; the part they had under Perry and others in the war of 1812, and later still, the valor of the Negro soldier as shown on many hard fought and bloody fields for the maintenance of the Union in the sixties, in the last few years the courage displayed. In our last war with Spain on the heights of San Juan, all proved his efficiency, his courage and not only is this the case in this country. We find that he displays the same valor as a soldier in the armies of Europe. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Geology State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO Notably is this the case in England, where some of the best troops of the line are her regiments of Negro soldiers. The same can be said of France, and more recently of Germany. In each case it proves that the Negro is not a coward. It can be further said of these troops in all the wars they have tsken a part has it ever been said by their worse enemy that they have ever shown their backs to the foe, and when on the field of battle either wounded or dead their breasts were found pierced and not their backs with the bullets. Notwithstanding the honorable record they have made, there are but few of the States that are willing to enroll them as a part of their State troops, as it has been with the States it is even more so in regard to the Federal service. Attempts after attempts have been made to muster cut the colored regiments now a part of this service, though impartial military critics have declared again and again in point of military discipline and all that goes to make up the soldier. The Negro soldier stands unequalled. For all this what has the Negro received in return? Absolutely nothing. Many will remember the refrain used at the time when the first colored men were enlisted as soldiers in the early days of the Civil War, "We ars coming. Father Abraham, a 100,000 strong." and with what cheer the nation at large received the cheering news from a class that had little incentive to enter this stuggle, that was waged by white men against white men and in which the Negro was to have no part therein. In service in any capacity to the government, and since then the same has been the case. The moral of this subject that we wish to convey that the past treatment the Negro has received in return for the services he has rendered to this county should act as a guide to him in proffering his services in the future and not to rush forward to proffer aid and imperial his life to preserve a Nation, that in time of peace ignors him as a citizen and refuses to bestow upon him those rights of citizenship that are inalienably his by the services he has rendered to the country in need of the past. Before he rushes into the next contest let him know what he is to receive for the sacrifice he makes for it - Philadelphia Tribune. "How did you list the money that fortune-teller got from you?"

ADA OVERTON WALKER CHARMS SOCIETY Society which dosen't enthuse over Salome dances any more found a new sensation last week in Ada Overton Walker's "Wildfire" dance at the Grand Opera House Mrs. Jack Gardner discovered "Wildfire." She sent an order for a box, and Tuesday night her automobile stopped at the carriage entrance of the theater. A handsome young man assisted Mrs. Gardner and several women friends to alight. It was George Proctor, the pianist. The party occupied a lower right hand box, and their arrival in evening attire caused a sensation upon the stage. The applause of the box party was perfunctory unt. out dashed Ada Overton Walker, in her new dance, "Wildfire." The way she leaped and writhed and twisted and sprang was a revelation of the possibilities of the human frame and when she paused panting and breathless Mrs. Gardner rose to her feet and threw a boquet upon the stage. "Brava," she cried, just as she would to a grand opera artist. "Bravo," echoed George Proctor. At the opera Wednesday night Mrs. Gardner told her friends all about it, and as a result half a dozen box parties were formed for the following night. Manager Magee was informed that all his boxes would be required Thursday night, and sure enough they were.—Boston Guardian. Washington, Feb. 20.—President Woodrow Wilson's real reason for not naming any Afro-American for office has at last become known. W. W. Price, writing in an afternoon newspaper this week says: "The president has refrained from nominating a single Afro-American to office because the deep-seated prejudice of at least one Southern senator has caused warning to be given that trouble will start in the senate as soon as one nomination goes in. On this or any other question that might inject bitterness into the ranks of his common council (congress) the president has gone slowly. He prefers, and is apparently certain of keeping, harmony. It means definite legislation on paramount national subjects. While temporary injustice may follow, the masses of the people will be benefitted. Just how far prejudice akin to that connected with the Negro question would enter into the immigration problem in the senate the president will ascertain. His position will soon be announced to senators, and then conjectures will be ended." Mr. Price is known as the "white house correspondent," and his utterances are supposed to correctly reflect the attitude of the pres dent. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES St. Joseph, Mo.—The theatre recently erected by Mr. Chas. Phelps was opened last Monday night. It is fireproof and has all the modern conveniences. At present they will exhibit moving pictures only. Mr. Louis Smith is manager.

Race leaders of this city have organized what is known as the National Sentiment-Moulding Bureau, which seeks to shape the thought of the Afro-American toward each other and a higher regard for them by the white race. Tulsa, Okla., Feb. 20.—One of the largest garages in Tulsa, Okla. is the East End Garage, owned and conducted by J. W. Williams. Mr. Williams' wife conducts a large and successful delicatessen and fruit stand, and from the profits she has made out of the business she has created a three-story brick business block, which is yielding her a fine revenue. Mrs. Williams is regarded as one of the most progressive business women in the Southwest. Attorney General McReynolds has endorsed Judge R.H. Terrelli (colored) for reappointment as presiding officer of one of the municipal courts of the District of Columbia. It is announced that President Wilson has no recourse but to send his name to the United States Senate, where Senator James K. Vardaman has openly announced that he will do all in his power to prevent his confirmation. This color question has become acute and it is an outrageous condition when race and color are made the sole basis of opposition in the United States Senate. Washington, Feburary 20.—The last issue of the New York Medical Journal publishes a story of the awarding of first prize, $25, for the best essay on "Treatment of Frostbites," to Dr. Ulysses S. Houston, a young physician of this city. The Medical Journal publishes Dr. Houston's article in full. Dr. Houston graduated from the Loyola Medical University of Chicago in 1913, and later located in this city, his home. He is a younger brother of William L. Houston, former grand master of the Odd Fellows. NO 27 There are colored farmers of Accomack county, Virginia, who clear from $1,000 to $2,000 a year on their crops, whose stock is well cared for, whose families ride out on Sunday in comfortable carriages. Some of the colored farmers of Accomack and Northampton counties are members of the interesting association which for nearly twenty years past has acted as a buying and selling agency for the farmers of the region. This association buys annually more than $200,000 worth of seed for its members, and spends $10,000 a year in telegraph tolls to keep in touch daily with the markets over a large part of the United States. Washington, D. C., Feb. 20. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton has been re-elected president of the People's Investment Company, which expects shortly to launch a department store at a convenient point on Seventh street Northwest. The capital stock is $50,000. When $5,000 is raised among the colored people a capitalist is ready to advance the rest and provide for the opening of the store. Mrs. Layton is laboring to get 5,000 Negroes to subscribe $1 each—and the thing is done. James L. Neill is secretary of the company and Shelby J. Davidson is chairman of the board of directors. The office is in the Dietz building, Seventh and F. streets. Berlin. Feb. 12, 1914 —Two of the most conspicuous if not the most distinguished of the Americans who attended Ambassador and Mrs. Gerard's reception in honor of Lincoln's birthday were a couple of colored men. One of them towered head and shoulders above the 5,000 other guests who thronged the handsome new embassy drawing rooms. He turned out to be a colored man from Florida, who until his recent discharge, took care of the furnace at the embassy. He thought Lincoln day a peculiary suitable occasion on which to foregather with his countryman and turned up for the purpose with a friend. There was nothing in the character of the reception by the Gerards to indicate that relations between the Ambassador and his former furnace man were ever strained. Strawberry From Chile. A great many people are under the impression that the strawberry is of European origin. As a matter of fact, it is derived from the Chilean berry, which is native to the Pacific coast.

WESTERN. Temperatures dropped to 5 degrees above zero in many north Texas points Monday, a 50-degree fall in twenty-four hours. At Los Angeles, ten guests at a dinner for Thomas Loyhed compiled an aggregate age of 833 years. The youngest was a youth of eighty-one. The right of Miss Jeanette Morgan, Ohio's only woman tax assessor, to act as such will be decided by the courts, Attorney General Hogan ruled. Cove, Ore., must clean up immediately or Miss Fern Hobbs, Governor West's secretary and official "cleaner" of the administration, will get it. In love with the same woman, two Mexicans locked themselves in a room at Los Angeles and shot each other with the same revolver, after tossing a coin for first shot. Although the Supreme Court has annulled the anti-smoke ordinance of Zion City, Ill., five smokers were arrested and Wilbur Voliva threatened to have the women drive the others into Lake Michigan.

Disappointed in love, Abraham Pepper of Tacoma, Wash., called Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, his former sweetheart and a bride of a week, into the hall of a hotel at San Francisco where she was spending her honeymoon, shot her dead at her husband's feet and then shot himself. WASHINGTON. Packing house products came up before the Interstate Commerce Commission as the subject for consideration in connection with the requested increase of freight rates for the Eastern railroads. Hearings on the Walsh bill for government control of radium-bearing lands were concluded and it probably will be report favorably. One amendment likely to be incorporated proposes that the government be required to buy the entire output of radium mines. The Pennsylvania "mine safety" law requiring coal companies to leave pillars of coal to prevent cave-ins, was declared valid by the Supreme Court of the United States in a test case brought by the Plymouth Coal Company against David L. Davis, state mine inspector. Colonel Goethals, Panama canal engineer, was invited before the House appropriations committee to discuss appropriations to finish the big ditch. Goethals will make his annual request for funds. For next year he estimates that $23,770,000 will be needed, as compared with over $16,000,000 provided this year. To Senator Teller's pronounced views in opposition to a policy of "imperialism" is credited Cuba's independence, and the conspicuous part he took in the fight to amend the resolutions declaring war with Spain is remembered in Washington as one of the outstanding accomplishments of his career as a senator. Formal dedication of the memorial blocks provided by the Legislature of Colorado, Iaaho and Washington for the Washington monument will take place April 3, next, the 125th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as President of the United States. This announcement was made by the Washington National Monument society after its annual meeting which reported that the memorial blocks had arrived. Official count by treasury officials showed 7,465 national banks have applied for membership in the federal reserve system, that eighteen banks have notified the organization committee that will not apply, and ten have not been heard from. The capital of the banks applying amounts to $1,054,533,554, which is 99.75 per cent. of the capital of all national banks in the country.

The bishop, who is supposed to have been the object of the outrage, had a narrow escape. A government troop train carrying a company of infantry from Mexico City, destined for Jalapa, was blown up by rebels. The wreck took place near the Lima station of the Inter-Oceanic railway, 140 miles from Vera Cruz. Sentiment is growing among Mexican rebel leaders that if the attack on Torreon is delayed much longer, or if the federal army succeeds in holding that city, northern Mexico will detach itself from the rest of the country and become an independent republic. General Villa continued his attitude toward the American government by refusing to give up the body of William S. Benton. Villa's attitude, and the murder of an American citizen who was lured over the border and hanged by Mexican federals has aroused intense feeling throughout southwest Texas against both sides in Mexico.

SHIPPED FROM GILPIN COUNTY IN ONE CONSIGNMENT. Ore Had Been Crushed, Assayed and Sacked, Each Sack Showing Assay Value in Uranium. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Central City, Colo.—A carload of uranium ore, weighing eight and one-half tons and worth about $75,000, was shipped by freight from this city recently to parties in Denver. The ore came from the Sherman-Belcher properties on Quartz hill, which have been operated for many years by Mr. DuPont, the powder manufacturer of New Jersey. The ore had been crushed, assayed and sacked, each sack showing its weight and assay value in uranium. There were 115 sacks in the shipment, averaging 150 pounds each, the assay values showing between 30 and 60 per cent uranium to the ton, the latter figure being about as high as it is possible to obtain in the crude ore. Besides this shipment of high grade ore there was shipped to Denver 125 tons of second class or concentrating ore, carrying about 5 per cent uranium to the ton, this last load being worth at least $50,000. This shipment of uranium ore is about the largest ever made at one time from any mine in the world, showing that the mines in Gilpin county, if necessary, can furnish all the uranium ores that the world may demand for the extraction of radium and its products. Big Crop of Beets Predicted. Greeley, Colo.—"I feel optimistic over the outlook for acreage in the Greeley district and northern Colorado," declared Manager A. V. Officer of the sugar industry here. He expressed the belief that all three factories would get enough beets to last an average campaign. This in spite of the fact that the Farmers' union has gone on record as saying that its members cannot raise beets at a profit at the figure offered them by the Great Western Sugar Company. The scale provides that the minimum amount shall be $4.75. The figure heretofore has been not less than $5, except in the early days of the industry, and the farmers demanded that not less than this sum be paid. It has been learned that more than 9,000 acres have ben contracted for the 1914-15 crop. Many who declared early in the year that they would not raise beets have changed their minds and will do so for the last time. Teller for Hall of Fame. Denver.—Governor Ammons is at the head of a movement to have the name of Senator Teller, who died Monday, morning, represent Colorado in the national hall of fame.

EVERY MORNING S, Treas. SEIB MILLER, Sec. RTERS' CLUB N CONNECTION JOHN ENGSTROM DENVER, COLO AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In an address delivered at the Auditorium at Houston, Tex., E. L. Blackshear, the head of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial College for Colored Youths, had this to say concerning the reasons why the negroes of Houston are specially interested in the movement to build a general hospital in Houston. The plan contemplated does not seek to make one hospital do for both races. They will be separate and distinct institutions; but there is to be a hospital for both, and upon the basis that in caring for his own health interests the white citizen must protect the colored as a matter of "Safety First." Following is the address delivered: Rev. Mr. Pevoto of the Baptist sanitarium of Houston in a visit to Prairie View on a recent Sunday used the Sabbath school lesson of the day as the basis of his remarks. It was the lesson of the Good Samaritan, and the speaker saw in this parable the germ of the modern hospital. And indeed, how true is it that this spirit of the Good Samaritan, who picked up a helpless stranger, wounded and sore, and bound up his wounds and placed him in the Eastern inn for care and protection exemplifies the spirit of Christ, now manifested in modern hospitals, and in the Red Cross system of national and international relief. Regardless of race, nationality or creed, the Red Cross spirit, the modern hospital spirit, takes hold of helpless sufferers and gives them relief and medical and sanitary attention. The spirit of Christ is not the secular spirit and pride of nationality or race so well exemplified in the classic civilizations of Greece and Rome, but it is the spirit of humanity, the spirit of the Golden Rule, the spirit of human sacrifice for human good, the spirit of the Good Samaritan. The colored people as a part of God's common humanity need the help of modern medical science and sanitation. From the standpoint of self-protection, the municipality owes its colored population sanitary conditions, for bacterial diseases are no respecter of race or color once they find lodgment; and bacterial infection or contagion, originating from unwholesome conditions among colored people may thrust their fatal hand even into the mansions of wealth and culture. It is of interest to the whites that the bodies and hands and homes of those of the colored people who cook the food and wash the clothing and dress and handle the children of the white people should be clean, wholesome and sanitary. Speaking generally, insanitary conditions and disease among the negro people weaken the efficiency of the city's labor and entail a loss upon invested capital, which is fruitless without efficient labor. In the older days faithful slave women were the nurses of the south. They sat in humble patience at the bedside of the stricken mistress or her children, the dusky Samaritans of an alien race. Just as my grandmother, Aunt Harriet of Mongomery, Ala., was a type of the cooks of olden days who, Midaslike, turned whatever cooking material they touched to the gold palatableness, so my wife's grandmother, Aunt Cella of Grenada, Miss., was a type of the nurses of old, who was in truth a Good Samaritan in black, and, for miles around, was sent for to nurse the afflicted white women and children back to health and happiness. Retail dealers in Hongkong are discovering the advantages of window-dressing after the American plan. The honor of class oratory, assigned to a negro at Harvard, is indeed a creditable achievement, though eloquence in this fervid and imaginative race is not an unusual endowment, many negro preachers having manifested this moving quality. It is stated that this graduate-to-be has it in mind to devote his life to the uplift of his race. There is ample opportunity for many lives to be so devoted. The freed race has progressed unevenly, individual specimens attaining to a high degree of knowledge and culture, while the mass of blacks are as much the wards of civilization as ever they were in the days of bondage. Not till individual culture begins to bear fruit in community uplift can work among the negroes be said to show adequate results. A curious tree of the tropics, the matapalo, grows only with the aid of another tree, which it gradually envelopes and kills. Before an American heiress who marries a foreign nobleman places him on exhibition she removes the price mark. Sixty thousand dollars a day is the estimate of the loss due to the recent strike at Dublin, Ireland. It is estimated that the Uruguay wool crop this season will reach a value of $25,000,000. Natural gas consumed in the United States last year was equivalent to 20,000,000 tons of coal. The diamond output of German South Africa is being regulated to maintain prices. "I'm no professional agitator for temperance," said Booker Washington, in a recent address, "but keep whisky away from the negro. In the counties and states where there are no open barrooms the negro is 50 per cent. better off. I don't believe that prohibition increases drunkenness, as one so often hears. Certain men will get whisky anywhere—but in prohibition counties you hear of the ten men who do get whisky—and you don't hear of the 100 men who do not. "There are 200,000 colored people always sick from preventable causes," said he. "Some one is paying the bill. Not the colored man directly—for he can't." He opposes segregation in cities—"not because the colored man objects to associating with his own people. He is proud of his race. He wants to associate with his own kind. But experience has taught him that where he is segregated the street lights are dimmer and the streets muddier and the sidewalks more full of holes and the police service more indifferent than in other parts of the same town—but that he is made to pay his full share of the bills." Nor is he in sympathy with the proposition to plant immigrants on the soil of the south. The colored man, he thinks, is already fitted to his environment. If he is given a fair chance he is the most satisfactory laborer the southern employer can have. But he wants a little of the comforts of life. He wants good church and school and social facilities in the country districts. "The white folks of Dallas county," said he, "held a meeting in the courthouse one night to discuss the question of immigration. Old Jake, the colored janitor, was a very curious old chap. He always tried to find out what was going on—but this meeting stumped him. After it was over he met the sheriff. "Cunnel Jones," said he, 'w'at you w'ite folks up to now? "Colonel Jones explained. But Jake could not understand that word immigration. Jones had to make it clear. "What do you think of the plan of bringing more white folks to Dallas county, Jake?" asked Colonel Jones. "Foh de Lord's sake, Cunnel Jones," said he, "we Dallas county niggers got just as many w'ite folks as we can support now." "There are only 300,000 American Indians," said a prominent negro, "and the government appropriates $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 each year to feed and clothe and educate them. And they're dying off. There are 10,000,000 of us, and the government isn't called on to do a thing for us, as a race." Of the negroes, 9,000,000 are in the southern states, and 85 per cent, of these in rural districts or villages. He thinks that the negro's best chance is in the south. The southern white is more tolerant of the negro's differences from the white race. He is more inclined to give the negro a chance. "That's all we want," he said. "Just a chance. I saw the other day that $50,000,000 is being spent annually to rescue Great Britain's drunkards from the ditch. We're not in the ditch—but help us keep out of it." The negro, he thought, is worse off in the cities, especially in the northern cities. More than one-half of the money derived from England's income tax is collected from Londoners. In the region between Yorktown and Williamsburg there is a district, where much of the land has long been either owned or tenanted by colored people; but it is a. "back country" far from the river and penetrated by few good roads, so that it is and always has been a region of wretched poverty, miserable cabins and neglected soil, very different from the farming district on the eastern shore of Virginia; for example, where there are many well-cultivated farms owned or tenanted by colored men. In this latter region the large estates are being cut up into farms of from 60 to 100 acres, provided with complete outfits of farm buildings, and rented, or sold in many instances, to colored men. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and other European nations have for many years been making provision for industrial and technical instruction in public schools. In England the Smiths are the most numerous of all families, but in Ireland they are content to rank fifth after Murphy, Kelly, Sullivan and Walsh. More than 50 per cent. of the sheep of this country are on the large ranches of the west. In the last year Iowa produced 96, 953,183 pounds of butter, which was sold for $28,285,240. In Melbourne no Sunday papers are permitted; no hotels are allowed to open their bars. In a year 7,707,000 cigars and 14, 000,000 cigarettes were smoked in the United States. FORMER SENATOR H.M.TELLER DEAD PIONEER COLORADO STATESMAN PASSES AWAY AFTER TWO- YEAR FIGHT FOR LIFE. NEARLY 84 YEARS OLD EXPIRED AT DAUGHTER'S HOME IN DENVER AFTER SINKING SPELL. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Feb. 23.—Former United States Senator Henry M. Teller, one of Colorado's best-known pioneers and public men, is dead. The aged statesman expired as he lay surrounded by members of his family at 12:25 Monday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. E. Tyler, 1353 Gaylord street. Mr. Teller had been ill for the last two years. He had failed rapidly in the last two weeks and death was momentarily expected. He would have been 84 years old May 23, 1914. The death of Mr. Teller closes the life of one of Colorado's most active builders. Coming to the state in 1861, he was identified with every important public movement and did not cease to take an interest in public affairs up to his death. He lapsed into unconsciousness shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday night. Physicians who attended him since he began to fall were called in. The end was near, they declared, and members of the family were notified. They remained at the bedside until death came. Surviving former Senator Teller are his daughter, Mrs. Tyler; Harrison J. and H. B. Teller, sons, and H. T. Tyler, a grandson; District Judge James H. Teller and Addison Teller, brothers, and Mary E. Teller, a sister, living at Morrison, Ill. Henry Moore Teller, recognized as one of the leading statesmen of the country, was born in Granger, Alleghany county, New York, May 23, 1830. He was the son of John and Charlotte (Moore) Teller. The family was of Dutch origin, the seventh in descent from William Teller, the first of the name to come to this country, William Teller in 1639 settled in Fort Orange, and was appointed trustee to a tract of land. Henry Teller worked on the farm in Alleghany county, attending the common schools. By teaching, later, he earned the money to attend Alfred University and Rushford Academy. Then he taught school again and entered upon the study of his profession in the law office of Judge Martin Grover, Angelica, N. Y. Jan. 5, 1858, he was admitted to the bar in Binghamton, that state. He began practice in Morrison, remaining there from 1858 until 1861, when he crossed the plains to Colorado. In Central City he opened his law office, three years later to be joined by his brother, when the firm of H. M. and W. Teller was established. During the Indian troubles of 1863, he was appointed by Governor John Evans major general of the Colorado militia. After two years of service Mr. Teller resigned. In 1878 he was made chairman of the special committee to investigate the charges of election frauds in the Southern states, concerning which he made a careful and elaborate report. He served as chairman of the committee on civil service and retrenchment. Originally Mr. Teller was a Democrat. He became, however, one of the adherents of the Republican party when it was organized. He was one of the projectors of the Colorado Central railroad, drafted its charter in 1865, and, with W. A. H. Loveland presented it to the Legislature. It was successful and for five years he was president of the road. About this time he became interested in mining and other enterprises in addition to his legal practice. After the admittance of Colorado to the Union—1876—he and Jerome Chaffee were elected United States senators, Teller being elected for the short term—three months, ending March, 1877. He was then elected senator for the full term of six years (1877-1883). Although a new member, he was placed in active work by being put on many of the important committees. One of the appointments was on the committee sent to Florida to investigate the frauds of 1876. In April, 1882, he was appointed secretary of the interior by President Arthur, his term expiring March, 1885. The day following he again took his seat in the Senate, succeeding Hon. N. P. Hill. In 1891 he was re-elected, also in 1897, his work and influence increasing in every session. He was especially recognized as an authority on public lands and other questions relating to the West. He became the champion of free coinage of silver, believing the demonetization act of 1873 had not only proven disastrous to Colorado, but to the entire nation as well. After the defeat of the free silver issue in the Republican national convention held in St. Louis, 1896, Mr. Teller and his followers left the convention hall. He was made a member of the monetary commission in 1911. The degree LL. D. was conferred upon him by Alfred University in 1886. SUGGEST JOINT INTERVENTION GREAT BRITAIN MAY JOIN U. S. UNLESS BRITISH RECEIVE PROTECTION. DEMAND BODY OF VILLA NO REPLY FROM REBEL CHIEF TO DEMAND FOR SURRENDER OF BENTON CORPSE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Feb. 26.—Joint intervention by the United States and European powers as a solution to the Mexican situation if President Wilson is unable to adopt "the easiest path—the recognition of Huerta" will be suggested by Great Britain, it was given out here from a semi-official source. The suggestion, it was said, will wait further action of the State Department, which is seeking now to obtain all facts in connection with the murder of W. S. Benton, British subject, by General Villa. The British press is demanding that some move be made that will insure "the protection of peaceable English men in Mexico." The Washington investigation which has centered around the Benton affair was broadened when Consul Garrett at Nuevo Laredo was instructed to inquire into the hanging by Mexican federalis of Clemente Vergara, an American citizen. The consul was directed by the State Department to demand the body from officers of the Huerta government in the vicinity of Hidalgo, Mex., where Vergara was killed. Earlier in the day Marion Letcher, American consul at Chihuahua, had been instructed to insist that General Villa permit the delivery of the body of Benton to the widow for burial where she may wish. These, with an explanation by Secretary Bryan to the Senate foreign relations committee of all the information on the Benton incident and Mexico generally in the hands of the State Department, constituted the principal developments of the day. General Villa's message offering to permit the widow of Benton or relatives and an American official to see the body when exhumed is being taken to mean by the American government that a complete medical examination may be performed. Secretary Bryan told the senators that the United States was insisting that two American representatives be permitted to see the body and that one of these be an army surgeon. He also has made inquiries as to where the grave is located. Mexican Refugees Cost U. S. $142,254. Washington—Mexican refugees, soldiers, women, children and camp-followers harbored on the border have cost the United States $142,254 so far and will cost $75,000 a month hereafter. Secretary Bryan so informed Congress. Tribute to Memory of Teller. Denver, Feb. 26.—All that Denver and Colorado holds in highest reverent tribute was paid to the memory of Henry M. Teller as his body lay in state in the rotunda of the state capitol. It was a remarkable testimony of the honor and esteem in which the statesman and pioneer was held by the people among whom he lived and for whom he labored as a great leader for so many years. Bobsleds Crash; Forty-eight Hurt. St. Louis.—Forty-eight persons were injured, three probably fatally, in two bobsled collisions.

Zion's plans are laid for a series of evangelistic meetings to begin on the third Sunday in March, the 15th. Dr. J. P. Howard, who assisted us last year, will speak each evening during the series. Cottage prayer meetings will be held during the time in various parts of the city. Dates and places will be announced next week. During the week of the 8th there will be evening prayer services at the church. These meetings will continue just one hour, closing promptly at 9 o'clock. The pastor desires that each Christion, who is willing to be used for the salvation of his unsaved friends, will secure "Request for Prayer" cards and send the names is as soon as possible. Wednesday is the day set apart, during this soul-winning effort, for fasting and prayer. It is the hope that all the faithful will give themselves freely to this exercise that God may pour out upon us the baptism so greatly needed. Ten personal workers' clubs have been organized. Anyone who desires to join these forces to do specially directed work in soul-winning will be present at the church Sunday evening at 5 o'clock. The pastor will speak at the morning service from the subjesct, "The Test of Service." In the evening there will be a half-hour's song service followed by communion. Each new member who has not been fellowshipped into the church is requested to be present. JOIN THE NAVY. Looking over the horizon and casting our heroscope, regarding the hope and future of our race, especially in regards to the future of the young Negro boys of our city and throughout the entire country, the editor of the Colorado Statesman would call the attention of the young man of the race, also the mothers and fathers, to a great avenue of development for our boys, perhaps you are wondering what it is. The United States navy offers an education and training to our boys that's unsurpassed. Why not let us, as a race, show the government of our country the same as others races, that we are vitally interested in the welfare of our boys, getting the necessary training that will fit them for life's great work. This idea was suggested to the editor by his old friend, Jno. W. Wright of Fayette, Kentucky. Mr. Wright is an enthusiastic believer in this mode of training for our young men, and the editor after observing for himself the condition of our young men in this city, concurred in his belief. Mothers and fathers, why not send your boy for four year of travel and let Uncle Sam pay the toll? Travel is an education. Four years travel in foreign climes is worth ten years of Almamater, and besides you can learn any trade you want. IN MEMORIAM. The grim reaper, Death, in its flight of time, paused a moment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Atkinson and took from their midst their beloved daughter, Corine, one of Denver's most popular young ladies, beloved and held in high esteem by all who knew her. She was born in New Orleans, La., Sept. 10th, 1894, and died Feb. 24th, 1914. At the time of her death she was employed by the Joslin Dry Goods Co., one of the oldest firms of our city, and was loved by all the employés, both white and colored alike. We will all miss her genial companionship and her cheerful personality. She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted mother and father, three sisters and three brothers. She was laid at rest at Mt. Olivet cemetery Saturday morning. Father McDonnell officiating. The honorary pallbearers consisted of the following young ladies, members of the social club in which she was a member and officer: Misses Hazel Robinson, Ruth Montgomery, Cella Chapman, Edna Bell, Ezalia Johnson, Frances Russ, Diette Williams, Willa David and Vivian Rivers. After an illness of several months Charles E. Jackson died Monday morning, Feb. 23, 1914, at the age of 49 years. He was born in Winchester, Kentucky. His parents were members of Mt. Zion Baptist church, of which he himself was a member, having been converted at the early age of 14 years. Though he did not identify himself with the church here in Denver, he lived a consistent Christian life, being generally beloved for his genial and kind disposition. Mr. Jackson's friends were numbered by the score. He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, a step-son, five sisters and a brother. The funeral was held Wednesday from the Douglass Undertaking parlors, in the presence of many sorrowing friends, under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Lodge, No. 1, F. & A.

In spite of the inclement weather the meetings have been exceptionally well attended. Rev. Howard has seemingly been at his best both spiritually and in deliverance, causing many to join the ranks of the Christian army in their fight for the Lord. We hope every one will try to attend the meetings for the balance of the week, and especially the Sunday services. JAMES WASHINGTON. Pastor.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—Attorney General Farrar has filed application in the District Court for an alternative writ of mandamus to compel State Treasurer M. A. Leddy to explain why more than $600,000 in public schools funds is allowed to remain in banks in lieu of being apportioned in loans to farmers. Leddy is at present in New Orleans, where he went for his health, and it is probable he will be called back before his leave of absence has expired. The suit was brought at the request of Volney Hoggatt, register of the State Land Board, who charges that Leddy is wilfully violating statutes providing that state school funds shall be loaned farmers and settlers in order to build up a large private patronage for himself with Denver banks. On Feb. 19 the funds of the state from sale of public lands aggregated $681,332.36. This amount, Hoggatt maintains, should be placed at the disposal of farmers and offered in loans to settlers who would build up the state's agricultural resources, as provided for in the statutes. The failure of previous land boards to insist that the loan features of the statutes be observed, charges Hoggatt, is responsible for a stifled development of publands lands in Colorado. He charges the former with cowardice and lack of patriotism in permitting bankers to argue them out of proposed loans from the funds. "The state," says Hoggatt, "is getting four per cent on these deposits, while the banks who get the 'wad' turn around and lend the money to the very farmers who should get it direct from the state at 10 and 12 per cent interest. "The only reason why the law isn't obeyed is that efforts are made by state treasurers to build up their standing with bankers." Hoggatt's application for a mandamus seeks to force Leddy to make loans from the fund or show why. The suit probably will be heard within the next two weeks. Leddy, who has been ill, left for New Orleans recently, where he expected to remain for several months. He probably will return to resist action by the court. Brings New Sult to Oust Shinn. Denver.—Quo warranto proceedings to oust State Game and Fish Commissioner James A. Shinn from office, following his refusal to abdicate in favor of Walter Fraser, recently appointed to that position by the State Civil Service Commission, were filed in the District Court by Fraser. The action follows the granting of a writ of prohibition to Shinn by the Supreme Court, in which a temporary restraining order against him, issued by District Judge Allen, was set aside, the higher tribunal deciding the character of Fraser's suit was not proper. Authorize $10,000,000 Bond Issue. Denver.—The stockholders of the Denver Union Terminal Railway Company met at the union depot and authorized the purchase of all the properties and assets of the Denver Union Depot Railroad Company. It also authorized a $10,000,000 bond issue of which $4,000,000 will be offered for sale in about two months. A meeting of the stockholders of the Denver Union Depot and Railroad Company was held at the same time, at which it authorized the sale of its properties to the new company. Five Congressmen For Open Lands. Denver - Five members of the House committee on mines and mining, conducting the federal investigation of the southern Colorado strike, went unanimously on record as being opposed to the withdrawal of the natural resources of Colorado and other Western states from public entry. State Wins Hallett Inheritance Tax. Denver.—An agreement has been reached between attorneys for Julia Hallett, widow of the late Samuel L. Hallett, and State Inheritance Tax Appraiser Leslie T. Hubbard, by which the state is to collect 4 per cent inheritance tax on the estate, which is valued at $280.226.85. The state will collect $10.819.04. Totem Poles for Park Denver.—Two Alaskan tctem poles brought to Denver by the late Senator Edward O. Wolcott, have been presented to the park board by his brother, Henry R. Wolcott.

Denver.—Colorado possesses carnotite and pitchblende fields sufficient to supply the world with radium for 2,000 years, declared Thomas R. Henaben, state mines commissioner, before the closing session of the Colorado Metal Mining Congress. Taxation of mines, a stand on the radium question, cheaper freight rates for transporting ore and the setting aside of the federal obstacles in connection with the forest reserve, which handicap mining, were four of the important phases of the industry considered.

This is the supreme court of masculine fashion, and woe to the poor wretch that dares defy its mandates. All early caucuses of the convention had determined the frock coat must go and that the cutaway was to take its place. But threats of bolting on the part of the Washington tailors forced the fashion committee to surrender.

The committee wrote the following vindication into its announcement: "We wish to emphasize that the double-breasted frock coat is by no means relegated to the background.

For the remainder of the long report minute details for the architecture of cutaways are given, without ever referring again to the double-breasted affairs. As to the sack coat, the committee condemns narrow shoulders, but insists on a tight waist, and for those who dare it suggests that narrow braid be worn. Then there are about a thousand words concerning "close contours," "high waist lines," "little dips," "waistcoat exposures," "crescent pocket lines" and a lot of other things that only Jimham Lewis could understand.

Except that there are no chimney corners these days, and precious few old grandmothers. The woman who responded was just a so-so person who hurried on. And then felt ashamed of herself for not taking the little old dame into a cafe and seeing her safe home. You have to do a thing like that in awhile to feel that you were worth the Lord's creating.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's Ideas on Dress Making MRS. WOODROW WILSON, wife of the president, is getting a whole lot of support from women returning from abroad for her ideas of home dress making. It is said by fashionable modistes in Ruo de la Paix, Rue Tailtout and Place Vendome that they are practically facing ruin, in that they are not able to keep their styles exclusive. Our American women have been in the habit of going to Paris for their swell society gowns, which they buy as exclusive, and for which they pay a fancy price and high duty. They get them over here, only to find that there are women here who have worn a fac-simile of their gowns for weeks before they get back, and they have about concluded that the American modiste is just as artistic and decorative in their designs as any French modiste dare be. Mrs. Wilson, as the wife of the governor of New Jersey, stated that she could dress on less than $1,000 a year, and she is doing it to her own satisfaction, not to that of the high-priced foreign modistes. She selects her own silks, satins and laces and has them constructed almost under her own eye, many of her little gowns being made at the White House. A representative of a world-famous dress maker in Rue Taltout, most of whose customers are Americans, said that unless it should prove possible to copyright not oply designs of gowns, but also of trimmings and combinations of colors, he would shortly have to give up his present business and go in for wholesale manufacture. have about concluded that the Ameri cative in their designs as any French wife of the governor of New Jersey, s $1,000 a year, and she is doing it to he high-priced foreign modistes.

DUTIES OF THE COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND IS A SAD PRINCE FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND IS A SAD PRINCE HONORED BY INFORMAL CALLS OF PRESIDENT SARAH BERNHARDT RECEIVES GREAT HONOR Upon the application of disbursing officers, or the head of any depart- ment or other establishment not under the executive departments, the comptroller of the currency is required to render his decision upon any question involving a payment to be made by them or under them. This decision when rendered shall govern the auditor and comptroller in the settlement of the account at issue. C. MARRIS & EVINCE For instance, a For instance, a government laborer employed in an icehouse renders a bill for a pair of rubber boots. The government is asked to pay for them on the ground that for work in icehouse rubber boots are tools and not wearing apparel. The comptroller has approved such expenditures under the appropriation for tools, but has been obliged to disallow the expenditure for some other article of dress which would be available for use of the employee when off duty. The determination of just where traveling expenses, for instance, cease to be public expenses and become personal expenses is constantly arising. In general, the officials of the government are constantly striving to stretch the authority under which money has been appropriated by congress and the comptroller's duty is to maintain intact the restrictions. You very often hear people commenting on the fact that the prince of Wales, whenever he is seen (and that is not very often), looks as if he had not found life to contain a single joy. He is entirely devoid of the spirits of the average English boy, to say nothing of his fellow students, whose pranks are endless. 1910 The explanation is easy enough to find. The future king of England is by nature exceedingly quiet and retiring, a boy who should in every way be encouraged to strike up friendships with boys of more exuberant disposition and take part in their pursuits Mrs. Joseph P. Tumulty is the only woman in Washington who is ever honored by an informal call from the president of the United States. President Wilson not infrequently "just drops in" at her house in the course of an afternoon's automobile ride, to ask after Mrs. Tumulty's health, to chat a moment with her husband, his secretary, and most especially to pass the time of day with the Tumulty children. When the White M. House car draw up at the front door of the Tumulty home there is a mad scamper of 12 little feet from the nursery to the front door. For the six Tumulty children are on intimate terms with the president and with every member of his family. When Jessie Wilson was married to Francis B. Savre last November, little Mary Tumulty was about as keenly interested in the details of the wedding preparations as was the bride herself. She received, at the particular request of Miss Wilson, an invitation ad- Had not the chancellery granted the decoration of the Legion of Honor to region of Honor to Sarah Bernhardt, President Poincare himself would have created the actress arbitrarily a chevalier of the legion. She is the one hundred and ninth living woman with this decoration.

S the one h and ninth woman wit decoration. action of chancellery lated as it has met w widespread onstration n ular ap says a Par cial cable patch to the New York World. Now that the "Divine Sarah" has actually got the distinction, her friends feel free to discuss her long indifference to the honor. That indifference was due to her feeling that the Advance decisions by the comptroller are in the nature of precautions and prevent much misunderstanding and confusion. They remain law, to all intents and purposes, unless later modified or revoked, but sometimes a comptroller upon the submission of new evidence, or perhaps through a court decision affecting the controversy, will acknowledge himself wrong. The men who are big enough lawyers to be successful comptrollers usually have not hesitated to acknowledge error. John Sherman said in 1894 that the comptrollers of the treasury had been equal to and better lawyers than the secretaries of the treasury since the beginning of the government. Alexander Hamilton pronounced the comptrollership the "second trust" of the treasury, evidently placing himself first. If under an appropriation headed "carriages and harness" the head of a department desires to purchase an automobile, and the disbursing officer feels doubt as to the legality of the transaction, he is required to seek a decision from the comptroller. In just such case the comptroller held that the reference to harness indicated that congress designed the appropriation for horse drawn vehicles. But in another department's appropriation bill a certain sum had been voted for "vehicles," which, the comptroller felt, showed a congressional purpose to broaden the authorization, and would permit of the purpose to broaden the authorization, and would permit of the purchase of an automobile. About 100 advance decisions are rendered every month and about 130 decisions upon appeal from the rulings of authors. and pleasures, but instead of this he is kept continually under the thumb of his mentor. His only pleasure is in his motor, which he drives as cautiously as an old man. Together with two of his college friends, young Lord Stanley and another, he had planned to use this car for an excursion to Switzerland to enjoy a couple of weeks' bobsleighing and tobogganing during the mid-winter recess. During Christmas he cautiously broached the matter to his royal father and paternal grandmother, assuring him he was perfectly willing to steer clear of Paris and also to take a couple of equerries to look after him, but the result was just what the prince had feared. King George and Queen Alexandra both agreed that his desire was a most natural one and, while perfectly harmless, might do him a lot of good, but the matter never got any further, as the king immediately saw the hopelessness of trying to get Queen Mary's consent. dressed especially to her tiny self And when the hour for the wedding arrived Miss Tumulty, white-frocked blue-ribboned, her blond curls in order, her eyes shining with excitement, was one of the most interested of spectators. If one approaches Secretary Tumulty on a busy day at the executive offices of the White House and asks him for the names of all his children, he is as likely as not to call on one of the under secretaries for assistance in setting them down with the respective ages opposite. Mrs. Tumulty however, knows the list by heart, and can even say it backward, for the main business of her life is the rearing and educating of their six children. Her position in Washington's official life, as wife of the secretary to the president, gives her entree to that cosmopolitan society at the capital which the average woman would find irresistible. Mrs. Tumulty, however, cares little for it. About the only functions which she and Mr. Tumulty have thus far attended during the present season were the White House wedding and cabinet dinners. Since going to Washington, Mrs Tumulty has not allied herself with any social or philanthropic organizations. She declares that any woman who looks after the needs of a husband and six children has 12 hours a day of her time already engaged. decoration meant nothing unless it was granted solely in recognition of her as an actress. This was a kind of claim on the legion which the chancellery did not recognize, and she knew it. The knowledge helped to reconcile her to seeing many less famous women decorated. Her exclusion from the legion had nothing to do with her private life, which was blame less from the French point of view. Adelina Patti and the three other women of the stage who got the legion of honor before Madame Bernhardt did were given the decoration for reasons not connected with acting —for teaching, or for services to the state outside of their theatrical work That this was realized by Mdame Bernhardt and that she felt the rule was to be applied even to her is shown by the fact that at a recent luncheon with some of her foreign friends she referred to the possibility of the deoration being bestowed upon her, remarking that many people said it was her unique distinction to have spread the French language and French theatrical culture abroad.

GRANT Dolores Garcia sat on the step of her adobe hut and looked out across the hills. Her slim, brown hands were clasped tightly in those of Dick Chapin, the manager of the Oswego mine. Dick was only twenty-four, but his father had the controlling interest in the property. Dick had been sent to Mexico to keep him out of just such scrapes as that into which he was now running. "So you see, Dolores, we will be married next week," Dick was saying, "and I will take you back to New York with me. The old man? Well, he will kick, of course, but he'll soon quiet down. Nobody could see you without falling in love with you." Dolores was seventeen, which is a marriageable age for a Mexican girl with Indian blood in her veins. At least Pedro, the foreman, thought so. He had handled his knife for several days past whenever he saw Dick riding past. Pedro and Dolores had been sweethearts once; but Pedro's love-making was not like Dick's. "Will you marry me?" Dick asked for the twentieth time. And for the first time Dolores answered "yes." She turned and kissed him on the lips and fled into her hut, while Dick rode home in the moonlight, smiling foolishly and dreaming, as youth will. He did not see the gun that Pedro leveled at him as he rode past the foreman's house. Pedro's finger trembled on the trigger. But while he hesitated Dick rode out of gunshot range. "Dolores," said her wrinkled old mother, that evening, "the Gringo loves thee, eh?" Dolores nodded. She was wiser than Dick, though her years were fewer. "He will take me to New York," she said. "His father is rich. He has a castle there." "Listen to me, child!" exclaimed the older woman, beating her breast passionately. "Before thy father courted me I had a Gringo lover. Thou hadnst not known that? Would I had not, too, for the first love is the strongest, and even now, wrinkled as I am, and withered, my heart is his. Can the white mate with the brown? Thou wilt come back sadly, and Pedro will laugh at thee." Dolores cried herself to sleep that night. Dick's love seemed to be eater- 1924 "You Love the Gringo, Hey?" nal; yet she had heard other women speak as her mother had spoken. Pedro was glad that he had withheld his hand that night. On the "following morning there came a rummling sound among the masses of rock that overhung the executive offices of the mine. The whole mass slipped from its anchorage and toppled down upon the buildings. Three men were in them at the time. Two were never found. One was carried out, crushed and mangled. That one was Dick. "There is one chance in a dozen," said the mine doctor, after examining him. "He must be kept absolutely quiet, and his father had better be notified to start for Mexico at once." They telegraphed to Dick's father, but to keep him quiet was not so easy. All day and night in his delirium he called for Dolores. To pacify him, they sent for her. Under the doctor's supervision she glided in and out, her presence only bringing momentary rest to the sick man's tortured frame. Pedro was not so glad then. He wished now that he had used his gun that night. The crisis came on the third day. The doctor had repaired the shattered framework of the body, but he could do no more for Dick. Life and death were fighting that afternoon for Dick Chapin. He lay in a stupor upon his bed, occasionally opening his eyes and muttering Dolores' name. The doctor had gone away. "I will be back at nightfall," he had said. "There will be no change till then." Dolores had just finished soaking a bandage when she looked up to see Pedro standing in the doorway. He had not spoken to her for weeks, not since the week after Dick's arrival, in fact. "You love the Gringo, hey?" he demanded. Dolores flashed out at him: "That is my business, Pedro. I have said 'no' to you. Why do you come creeping in here when nobody is about? That is like you, to torment me. You are a coward, Pedro." "Say what you like," said Pedro, shrugging his shoulders. "His sweet-heart comes from America this evening." "You lie, Pedro," answered the girl. Pedro grinned and held out a copy of a Texas newspaper. Neither of them could read Spanish, let alone English, but photographs speak the same tongue in every land. It was impossible to mistake that of Dick Chapin or that of the girl in the same picture, about whose waist Dick's arm was resting. Dolores looked at it and grew pale as death. "He may have broken it off, Pedro," she gasped. "Well," said Pedro, philosophically, "that remains to be seen. I say that she will come this evening, with his mother. Such is the story in the mine." The mother's words came back to Dolores. Pedro saw the indecision in her face. "Will you be shamed by a Gringo woman when the way lies open, Dolores?" he asked. "Remember, I love you. I know the Gringo makes fine promises to women, but he is not your kind. He will never marry you." "Come here, Pedro," whispered the girl. She drew him outside. A moment later Pedro walked away grinning. As he left her Dolores heard Dick's call for her. She hurried back. Dick's eyes were wide open, and he recognized her again. The crisis was past. "Dolores!" he whispered, drawing her toward him. "Dick," she said, "thy—thy mother comes this night." "My mother!" he exclaimed. "How long have I been ill, then? What happened? Ah! The landslide!" Memory was returning, and with it came the solution of the crisis. "He will live now," said the doctor when he returned. "I'm glad that the crisis ended before his mother came." The night train brought Mrs. Chapin and a young woman. Dolores, cast out from the sickroom now, watched them in bitterness of soul as, with hurried steps, they hastened toward the mine hospital. "If he returns her kiss," she said to herself. "I shall know." She followed them, gradually gaining upon them, until she reached the door of the sick man's room, a few paces behind. Neither of the women paid any attention to the Indian girl; she was not even seen my them. Dolores stood at the door and watched. With a cry Mrs. Chapin sprang to the bedside and flung her arms about her boy. And then, while they still clung together, the younger woman drew near. Her tears fell on Dick's face. His arms were round her, too. Dolores crept away. Pedro drew near her, but she ran from him. She could not see him yet. She had one more duty to do. She went to the doctor's office. "Senor," she gasped, "tell me one thing faithfully. You said that he would live. Will he live to stand upon his feet again, like a man, or will he only crawl in the sun?" "God bless you, my child, of course he will stand on his feet again," the doctor answered, looking at her curiously. He was not too ignorant of Dick's flirtation with her, and, knowing the ways of Mexico, had not been greatly disturbed by it. Dick could look after himself. And the girl—he understood that love was only an episode in these girls' lives. Still, her tone moved him. "Why do you ask me?" he inquired, curiously. "I have heard." said Dolores, "that when a Gringo is crippled his sweetheart leaves him. The Gringo women do not love as we love." "Oh, I guess most women are alike," replied the doctor, carelessly. "But don't be distressed about him. Dick Chapin will be as fit as ever he was in a few weeks." "Thank you," replied Dolores, listlessly, and went away. "Who is that 'Dolores' that Dick is all the time asking for?" inquired Mrs. Chapin of the doctor. "Oh, just a native woman who nursed him," the doctor answered. "She left here suddenly last night with a fellow named Pedro. Married? Let's hope so; but marriage doesn't count for very much among these Mexicans." "I glad she's gone," said Mrs. Chapin. "Dick's sister and I were rather worried to know who she could be." "I think there was a little tenderness on both sides," answered the doctor. "Best say nothing about her, and I'll break the news to him tomorrow morning." (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Scatter Sunshine. A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the way other people bear themselves toward you. The looks and tones at your breakfast table, the conduct of your fellow-workers or employers, the faithful or unreliable men you deal with, what people say to you on the street, the way your cook and housemaid do their work, the letters you get, the friends or foes you meet—these things make up very much of the pleasure or misery of your day. Turn the idea around, and remember that just so much are you adding to the pleasure or the misery of other people's days. And this is the half of the matter which you can control. Whether any particular day shall bring to you more of happiness or of suffering is largely beyond your power to determine. Whether each ray of your life shall give happiness or suffering rests with yourself.—George S. Merriam. POTATO FOOT ROT New Disease of the Sweet Variety Is Discovered. It Attacks Primarily the Lower Part of Stem From the Soil Line to Four or Five Inches Above It Washington.—A new disease, the foot rot of the sweet potato, has recently been discovered by the pathologists of the United States department of agriculture, which threatens to materially restrict the production of the crop in certain localities. It was first observed on sweet potatoes growing in the vicinity of the Dismal Swamp, Virginia, during the summer of 1912. At that time it was believed to be very limited in its distribution, since search for it elsewhere was unsuccessful. The next summer, however, it was found in other parts of Virginia, namely, at Cape Charles and Keller. It is probable that it occurs elsewhere. At all of these places considerable damage was done to the crop, and in some fields as much as 60 to 95 per cent. of the plants were diseased. The disease is known as foot rot and attacks primarily the lower part of the stem from the soil line to four or five inches above it. The fungus kills the plants by the destruction of the epidermis or bark of the stem. Sometimes the organism may attack the vine several feet from the hill, usually where the leaf is attached, and from there spreads in both directions. Small black bodies about the size of a pin point and just visible to the naked eye are formed on the diseased spots. These are the fruiting bodies of the fungus. From the destruction occasioned by this disease during the seasons of 1912 and 1913, it is not unlikely that it may be a serious menace to the crop in localities where it occurs. To what extent it may spread cannot be foreseen, though it is likely to be confined to somewhat humid regions. The disease may be distributed in several ways. It has been found in the hotbeds on the slips and is probably carried on them to the field. It has been shown also that the growing organism will grow from the affected potato onto the slips growing therefrom. Furthermore, the fungus will grow from diseased plants onto the potatoes produced from them. The organism causing the disease lives over the winter on the dead vines in the field and may infect healthy plants when set out in the spring. The sale and exchange of potatoes or slips is another method of distributing the disease from one farm to another, or from one locality to another. This disease, like many others of a similar kind, may be distributed on farm implements, on the feet of cattle or horses which roam from one field to another. The spores may even be carried with dust during strong winds In view of these facts, it is apparent that sanitary methods should be employed in controlling the disease. These should consist in the careful selection of only sound, healthy potatoes for seed. The soil for the hotbed should be obtained two or three feet below the surface after throwing off the top layer, or from woods where there is no possibility that it might be infested. Healthy slips produced by these methods should be planted on ground where sweet potatoes have never been grown, or at least where the disease has never occurred. Healthy slips planted on diseased soil will become diseased. Neither seed sweet potatoes nor plants should be purchased from localities where this disease is prevalent. The disease will likely increase each year if sweet potatoes are planted continually on the same ground. NEW NATIONAL FOREST. The secretary of agriculture has just designated a new area in the southern Appalachians in which he thinks that lands should be purchased by the government for forest purposes in accordance with the provisions of the Weeks' law. This area is in northwestern Alabama, and includes 152,960 acres at the headwaters of the Warrior river in Lawrence and Winston counties. For a number of years extensive improvements by the government have been under construction on the Tombigee and the Warrior rivers, and a system of locks and dams to provide for 360 miles of navigable stream is now near completion. This improvement gives a direct water route for the shipment of coal from one of the southernmost coal fields direct to gulf coast ports, and, by means of the Panama canal, to points on the Pacific. The presence of a forest cover to protect the headwaters of the streams and to help equalize their flow is considered extremely important by Secretary Houston, and it is for this reason that he thinks it advisable to locate a government forest area in the region. The new area in which purchases will be made is at the extreme southern portion of the Appalachian region, about 150 miles from the nearest lands which the government has purchased hitherto in Polk county, Tenn., and Fannin county, Georgia. The new area is almost completely covered with forest; 92 per cent. of it has never been cleared, and of the eight per cent. upon which clearing has been attempted three per cent. has been abandoned and is reverting to forest growth. There is a merchantable stand of hardwood and pine timber, but there has been on great amount of lumbering because the locality has been too far from transportation facilities. Do You Know That— One striking thing about the region is that, although it has been settled for considerably more than a hundred years, a part of the land is still public domain. Fully 9,000 acres have never been taken up by private owners under the various land laws. These lands have now been withdrawn from settlement, and Secretary Houston will request that they be set aside as a nucleus for the proposed national forest. The purchase of private lands will also be undertaken, and as quickly as possible the government will build up another national forest of sufficient size for economical protection and administration. The COLORADO STATESMAN ALASKA'S REINDEER INDUSTRY There are not less than 30,000 domesticated reindeer in Alaska today, according to estimates of the department of agriculture. This means that the reindeer industry is by far the largest agricultural proposition in Alaska at this time, and more stringent government measures should be taken to prevent the rapid destruction of these animals. The industry under scientific management should develop rapidly, according to experts, and the present herds form a very promising basis upon which a great industry may be built. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF It appears that there have been instances of cross-breeding domesticated reindeer and the native wild caribou. It is thought that the blood of the latter could be used to good advantage in building up the reindeer herds. At present the domesticated deer seem to decrease in size and otherwise degenerate because of the lack of careful selection of breeding animals. The caribou are superior in size and vigor, but are not of so wild a nature as to make their domestication impracticable. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY HIGHEST POINT IN OHIO. That exploration and discovery in the actual meaning of the word are not confined to the unchartered wilds of Alaska is shown by the fact that a new record altitude has been determined for Ohio. Until recently the highest point in Ohio, according to the United States geological survey, was near Mansfield, in Richland county, the elevation of which is 1,479 feet above sea level, but in the course of topographic surveying last summer by the survey a point was found whose elevation is 1,550 feet above sea level, or nearly 1,000 feet higher than the surface of Lake Erie. This place is about two and one-half miles east of the city of Bellefonteain, in Logan county, and is locally known as Campbell's Hill. It is stated to be unlikely that there is any higher point in Ohio, as nearly the whole state has now been topographically surveyed. The lowest point in the state is on the Ohio river and has an elevation of 425 feet; the average elevation for the whole state is not far from 850 feet.

DID REAL WORK. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Congressman A. J. Sabath of Chicago, along with half a dozen other congressmen, had an exciting time reaching the capitol in time to answer to the roll call at the initial session of the regular session of the Sixty-third congress. Mr. Sabath got to Baltimore on Schedule time. There his trouble began. The trip from Baltimore to Washington should have taken about one hour. Instead it took four. Three engines broke down in the course of the trip, and there were as many transfers to other trains. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction "I had a good idea of how congressmen would look as 'actors on the road,'" said Mr. Sabath. If these particular congressman don't work hard in Washington when they are serving their constituents, they certainly did while they were lugging their suitcases and other impedimenta from train to train." Was Taking a Vacation That charity without discretion is readily abused is aptly exemplified by the story of Georgiana Simpson, an old colored woman, who was always employed by a southern family whenever extra help was needed. There never had been any difficulty in securing her services, and therefore, when three postal cards failed to bring a response one of the family called upon Georgiana to see what the trouble was. Mrs. G—— found Georgiana well and happy, and she welcomed her mistress very cordially. "I suttingly is mos' pow'ful glad to see you, Miss G——," said Georgiana.

It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the by-laws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now building. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. 10 The pool and billiard room is high class. To those who have never played upon the famous Wellington tables with Monarch cushions, a game upon these tables would be a revelation. The equipment is entirely new, with special attendants and instructors at your service. SEWED HALF SOLES 60 cts. and 75 cts.

T NOTICE ENTEED --- The Right Kind of Reading Matter Denve Beverwood & Underwood Wide, soft girdles, very long, in JULIA BOTTOMLEY. GOWNS designed for the tango tea allow very bright and showy little dresses for day time wear. They must be well put together, give perfect freedom to the dancer and be well managed about the waist. For figures slender enough, the tango tea gown is made to be worn without a corset. Nearly all of them are provided with a girdle, and a long story might be written on the subject of the girdle alone, for they appear in an endless variety of styles. Where the waist and bodice are made separately, it is best to sew the skirt to an underwaist instead of a belt. This will prevent the skirt and bodice from parting company during some extra-strenuous figure of the dance. A plain corset cover serves to support the skirt. By sewing eyes at the waist line into which little hooks on the bodice will fasten, the waist and skirt are joined before the girdle is placed. Skirts for tango dancing are most satisfactory made of accordion plaited fabrics, very light in weight. They set close to the figure and the spreading of the plaits when dancing gives the requisite freedom of movement. Overdraperies of lace and bodices almost entirely made of lace predominate in these gowns. Chiffon taffeta promises to be the most favored of all fabrics for these pretty and frivolous afternoon costumes. It is almost as light in weight as chiffon and has a splendid lustre. SUMMER MILLINERY APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN'S WEAR SUMMER MILLINERY APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN'S WEAR FOR spring time and summer wear specialists in children's millinery have prepared a greater variety in hats than has been shown in previous seasons. With all the different shapes, nothing appeals more generally than the O hats, or bonnets, made with puffed crown, of silk and falling plaited ruffles of lace. Collars and bows of ribbon and bunches of small flowers trim these models, and, in fact, nearly all others. There is nothing new in this assembling of materials, but the management of them, the new ways of making bows, and the novelty in the fabrics themselves, contrive to make the which the waist is swathed, cannot be improved upon when it comes to the management of the waist line in these dancing gowns. Four or five yards of the softest messaline or chiffon is wrapped two or three times about the waist, extending above the normal waist line and below to the hips. The ends of the scarf-girdle are drawn up and weighted with tassels or ornaments. Such a girdle is shown in the gown pictured here. Much has been written about the tango dancing which is hardly deserved. It is a romping sort of dance, a frolic, in fact, but some of the new steps are very graceful and more like the old minuet figures than any other modern dance. At all events, the tango and other similar dances are gaining ground and the chances are will result in some very new and pretty dancing steps and figures. The clothing of the feet also calls for much attention. The same rule applies here—perfect fit with ease and freedom. There are slippers especially well adapted to tango dancing, made to be adjusted very securely, and to be at once soft and shapely. After these requirements of the tango tea have been fulfilled and the pretty dancer has learned how comfortably she may be clad and still look trim and graceful—it will be a hard matter to persuade her to wear anything but the most comfortable corsets with either her street or house gowns. spring millinery for children the most pleasing that has been shown for many seasons. A pretty example of the Corday hat is shown in the picture. It will be noticed that the puffed crown is rather small, and that the ribbon bow is wired and is in effect an ornament finished with small bows and flowers, belonging to those classed as "stick-ups" by milliners. Besides these shapes, with which we are familiar, for children, there are many others in hemp, and other braids that are novel. They are considerably like the shape made for grown-ups, and look very "cunning" for the little people, being minatures of some of the simpler shapes which grown people wear. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Jet Again to be Fashionable. Black jewelry is to be in vogue in the spring, and already black enamel, onyx, and jet are being widely purchased. "Jet has been out of fashion for several years," it was stated at a Regent street establishment, "but now it is rapidly returning to favor, together with other black jewelry. We are selling jet tiaras copied from a diamond tiara belonging to the Czarina of Russia, and long jet chains. Whith jet is used most, being more substantial than the French kind. Jet is not expensive, and is not likely at present to rise in price, but one can pay as much as $25 for a chain of this material." Jet is to be used a great deal in dress trimmings, it is stated, and consequently black jewelry and ornaments are worn to match. One large city firm is preparing thousands of jet ornaments. Some of these are in slab form, others in bell shape.—London Times. Fabric Flowers. Blue velvet poppies with square-cut petals, full-blown roses in dark blue velvet, blue velvet begonias, blue taffeta flowers and blue tulle clematis are worn with day and evening costumes. Yellow flowers are the next in prominence and include taffeta poppies, roses, clematis and begonias. Sweet peas in their various colorings are also much worn. Many flowers are ornamented with semi-precious stones, especially those worn in the evening. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
