PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Republican Regeneration VOL. XX1. Republic Rege (From The New York Times) (From The New York Times) Between November, 1912, and November, 1914, the Republican party was born again. The official figures of the November vote in all the states, for the first time assembled and made public in the Times today, tell the story. The total vote cast for Republican candidates last year was almost double the presidential total for two years before. In 1912 the vote for Mr. Taft was 3,484,956. In 1914 the Republican vote reached a total of 6,013,374. This is a Republican gain of 2,528,418. Only once before in our political history has such a marvel of party regeneration and upbuilding been achieved. SUBSIDENCE OF PROGRESSIVES. The subsidence of the Progressive upheaval, of course, accounts for this enormous gain made by the Republicans in two years. The Roosevelt vote in 1912 was 4,119,507 while the vote for the Progressive candidates last November was 1,906,417. There were only five states, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Pennsylvania, in which the Progressive vote exceeded 100,000. Almost half the vote of that party was cast in three states, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, where the total Progressive vote was 932,679. Nevertheless in Illinois and Pennsylvania the Progressives were outvoted.. The Progressives lost 2,213,090, but the Republicans gained 2,528,.418. These additional recruits came evidently from the number of those Republicans who in 1912 took refuge in the Democratic camp, or perhaps with the Socialists, for it is to be noted that the Socialist loss in the two years is 214,378. The Democrats gained 31,943 votes, which represented probably the return of the Roosevelt Democrats to their own party. The Democrats retain their control of the house in the next congress not through the success of their own appeal to the country, but by the obliging conduct of the Progressives in a good many districts, where they insisted on running their own candidates. Thirty-nine such districts are specified by the Republican national committee, where the candidates of the party were defeated through the presence in the field of Progressives. This is more than sufficient to account for the small Democratic majority in the house. ```markdown ``` The loss by the Progressives of a good deal more than half their vote, which went bodily to swell the Republican vote, is the great significant fact disclosed. TUSKEGEE GRADUATE The following editorial from the Tampa, Florida Morning Tribune tells of the success of one of Tuskegee's graduates who is putting into every day practice some of the things which he learned in school: "The Tribune has had occasion several times to refer to the work that is being done by the Negroes of Marion County, which is a center of a movement on the part of members of that race to set higher standards of usefulness for their people. At a recent meeting held in this city, under the auspices of the Afro American Civic League, George H. Mays, Jr., one of the men who is leading in this work in Marion County, was the speaker of the occasion and told the Negroes of Tampa how they might join in the movement and do something for themselves." "Mays is himself an example of what a hardworking, intelligent and respectable Negro can do with his opportunities. He is a graduate of Tuskegee, taught in schools in the North and is now the head of a banking investment institution at Ocala, organized and managed by Negroes. He believes that the South is the best place for the Negroes and that their future lies in this section of the country. Mays so enjoys the confidence of the white citizens of Ocala that many of them have deposits in his bank. He is always urging the Negroes to strive for industrial independence and it is due to him that the Negroes of Marion County have taken account of their opportunities and have begun to work toward better ends." Dying Man's Confession Gives Freedom Nashville, Jan. 16—After serving eleven years in the state penitentiary, for a crime of which he has been proved entirely innocent, John McElrath, colored, of Weakley county, is today a free man, having been pardoned by Gov Hooper in one of the official acts before giving way to the new governor. At the trial, McElrath was sentenced to be hanged. An appeal to the supreme court was taken, DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 6 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society NANTS WHO COLORADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S but without result. The entire evidence was circumstantial and the case was brought before Gov. Jas. B. Frazier. Executive clemency was exercised and the sentence commuted to life imprisonment. This was in 1904. Ten years afterwards a young man in Weakley county made a confession on his death bed that exonerated the Negro. The confession was that John Wilson, the murdered man, had been killed by a friend of this man and that he was present and saw the crime committed. McElrath made a good prisoner, according to Warden Rimmer. The oldest guard in the penitentiary said the man never gave trouble at any time. While in prison McElrath learned the trade of moulder, in the smelting works, and if he can secure a job on the outside, will make from four to five dollars a day. THE TANGO IS OF NEGRO ORIGIN "There is much interest in the growth of the modern dances in the fact that they were all danced and played by us Negroes long before the whites took them up," writes Jesse Rees Europe in the New York Tribune. "One of my own musicians, William Tires, wrote the first tango in America as far back as the Spanish-American war. It was known as "The Trocha," and a few years afterward he wrote 'The Maori.' These two tangos are now most popular, yet who heard of them at the time they were written? They were the essentially Negro dances, played and danced by Negroes alone. The same may be said of the fox trot, this season the most popular of all dances. "The fox trot was created by a young Negro of Memphis, Tenn. W. C. Handy, who five years ago wrote 'The Memphis Blues. This dance was often played by me last season during the tour of the Castles, but never in public. Mr. Castle became interested in it, but did not believe it suitable for dancing. He thought the time too slow, the world of today demanding staccato music. Yet after a while he began to dance it at private entertainments in New York, and, to his astonishment, discovered that it was immediately taken up. It was not until then that Mr. and Mrs. Castle began to dance it in public, with the result that it is now danced as much as all the other dances, as is the one-step. The one-step is the national dance of the Negro, the Negro always walking in his dances. I myself have written probably more of these new dances than any other composer, and one of my compositions, 'The Castle Lame Duck Waltz,' is, perhaps, the most widely know of any dance now before the public." --- Notes On Racial Progress FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

The floor had been saturated with oil. Police Sergeant Anderson and Deputy Fire Marshal Callahan believe they have a clew to the identity of the writer of the letter and the incendiary. Vieksburg, Miss., Jan. 23—Forty eight hours after Ed. Johnson, colored, had been lynched, in the suburbs of this city for the theft of the animal, a cow owned by a farmer near here returned home today. The cow had merely strayed off. A coroner's jury found that Johnson had come to his death at the hands of "men unknown." This item, in part, explains itself and needs but little comment. What is most urgent is that it receive the widest prominence. In last Sunday's issue of the Washington Post it was found in small type, on an inside page and at the bottom of a column, where it would be likely to be overlooked. Perhaps, because the managing editor was really ashamed to chronicle the facts. Lynched for a strayed cow! Ye Gods! NO 24 Cincinnati, O., Jan. 26.—Mayor Spiegel has issued orders to Safety Director Holmes that the word "white" be stricken from rules of qualification for membership in the fire department. Several days ago the civil service commission rejected six applications of Negroes which had been filed, and this action caused a protest by the Negroes which had been filed, and this action caused a protest by the Negroes who claimed that it was a violation of their constitutional rights. Following the mayor's order, R. B. Thompson, 427 Mill street, appeared before Surgeon Hogen, Box and Hall, but was rejected because of twenty-one pounds over weight and deficiency in height. The mayor has stated that so long as he is in office there will be no distinction because of color or race in applications for public positions. John S. Fielding, president of the Fraternal League, composed of the Negro organizations of the city, directed the appeal to the mayor which brought about the change in service requirement. Atavism in Dogs. Dogs, probably the earliest of domesticated animals, when transferred to a tropical country, such as central Africa, lose in a few generations most of the characteristics they have acquired in Europe, and revert more and more to the type of the jackal and the wolf. Then their ears, whatever their breed, tend to become pointed, their coats turn sandy or rufous and their bark becomes a howl. Some attempt has been made to show that this is the result of disease and resembles the effect of malaria on the human constitution. Yet the Egyptian dog of Pharaonic times possessed, as is seen by the monuments, these very characteristics; and as he was certainly domesticated before the European animal, it is probable that these are original features of the race. Luminescence of Nitrogen Luminescence of Nitrogen. It has been found that nitrogen, vigorously and spectroscopically pure, acquires a continuous luminescence, during the electric discharge, and therefore this phenomenon can no longer be attributed to the presence of traces of oxygen. In the presence of metallic vapors, such as those of mercury, sodium or potassium, says the Scientific American, the phenomenon is not produced owing to the nitrogen's being attacked by the metallic vapors, forming a combination of the metal with nitrogen. The presence of oxygen, which oxides the metallic vapors, hinders their action on the active nitrogen and renders its formation possible. Africa's Potential Wealth. For its future industrial development Africa is remarkably fortunate. Already coal deposits to the value of more than three hundred million dollars have been discovered along the Cape to Cairo route, while more than five thousand waterfalls offer wonderful possibilities for the establishment of waterpower centers.

Denver.—The Denver Fair and Racing Association has been refused @ permit to hold a meet at Overland park in 1915. ‘The state racing com: mission, at its last meeting, decided that if Denver gave a racing program this year it would be under the aus: pices of Denver or Colorado people. ‘Phe refusal of a license to the acsoct. ation came as a result of internal quarrels among the directors, stock holders and officers of the organiza. tion which gave a successful meet last summer, AFU-AMERICAN GULLINGS Tier t pcre aay oe tae nee Sp eee. oe epee eet in the Sunday Star, it is stated that “éne hundred years’ ago the first cok ored troops who ever served in the army of the United States won the commendation of General Jackson in the battles in and around New Or- leans.” This statement as to when the first colored troops served in the army of the United States is incorrect, writes Albert N. Seip in a communi- cation tp the Washington Star. Ban- croft’s History, volume five, pages 152, 153, says: “On the first of Janu- ary, 1776, the tricolored American ban- sner, not yet spangled with stars, but showing 13 stripes of alternate red and white in the field, and the united red and white crosses of Saint George and Saint Andrew on a blue ground in the corner, was unfurled over the new continental army around Boston, which, at that moment of its greatest weakness, consisted of but 9,650 men. On that day, free Negroes stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had en- tered the provincial army; the first general order which was issued by General Ward had required a return, among other things, of “the complex- ion” of the soldiers; and black men, like others, were retained in the serv- ice after the troops were adopted by the continent. We have seen Edward Rutledge de- feated tn his attempt to compel their discharge. In October, the conference at the camp, with Franklin, Harrison and Lynch, thought it proper to ex- clude them from the new enlistment; but Washington, at the crisis of his distress, finding that they were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, reversed the decision and asked the approval of congress, That body ap- pointed Wythe, Samuel Adams and Wilson to deliberate on the question; and, on the report of their ablo com- mittee, they voted “that the free Ne- sroes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge might be re-en- listed therein, but no others.” ‘The right of free Negroes to take part in the defense of the country having thus been partially admitted by the high- est power, the limitation was lost sight of, and they served in the ranks of the American armies during every period of the war. When in 1778 the army was reduced to its lowest point in numbers, Ban- croft states, in volume six, page 48, that “Varnum, a brigadier of Rhode Island, proposed the emancipation of slaves in that state, on condition of their enlisting in the army for the war. ‘The scheme, approved by Washington, and by him referred to Cooke, the zovernor of the state, was accepted. EVv- ery able-bodied slave in Rhode Island received law liberty to enlist in the army for the war. On passing muster he became free and entitled to all the wages and encouragements given by congress to any soldier. The state made some compensation to their mas- ters. As the object of this communication is simply to correct the error of Mr. Croggon as to when the first colored troops served in the army of the Unit- ed States, it is not necessary to refer to the well-known fact that Negroes fought at the battle of Bunker Hill, taking part in common with the white yeomanry of Massachusetts and other states. Their services in the Union army during the Civil war are well known, Kansas City has 130 miles of boule- vards. Houston has a Negro population of probably thirty thousand, and we be- belleve it can be said without exag- geration that there is Bou picliy tosis country where the Negroes are making better progress. We do not mean to say that-there is not room for improve- ment or that everything that might be done to aid them is being done, but year by year the white people are com- ing to know that their interest in ev- erything that improves conditions among the Negroes {s one of vital im- portance. It 1s no longer difficult to enlist the co-operation of the white people in any movement having for its object the welfare of the Negro people, and we think nearly all of the south- ern cities can say as much.—Houston (Texas) Post. One of the objects of an Australian antarctic expedition will be the estab- lishment of a meteorological station to give warnings by wireless of the se- vere storms which sweep for southern seas. Peruvian oil fields are rapidly be- jng developed. ‘The Mlinois river was so termed from the Ilini, a tribe of Indians on its banks. Another derivation is sug- gested in Isle aux Noix, Island of Nuts, Several derivatives more or less fanci- ful are suggested by the etymologists and geographers. One of the strangest cargoes ever carried on the sea was a shipload of bees sent from Holland to the Isle of Wight, England, where the native bees are threatened with extinction by disease. The cargo consisted of 300 hives, containing about 10,000,000 bees. “There is much interest in the srowth of the modern dances in the fact that they were all danced and played by us Negroes long before the whites took them up,” writes Jesse Rees Europe in the New York Trib- une, “One of my own musicians, Wil- lam Tires, wrote the first tango in America as far back.as the Spanish- Anterican war. It was known as ‘The Trocha,’ and a few years afterward he wrote ‘The Maori.’ These two tangos are now most popular, yet who heard of them at the time they were writ- ten? They were the essentially Negro dances, played and danced by Negroes alone. ‘The same may be said of the fox trot, this season the most popular of all dances. “The fox trot was created by a young Negro of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. W. C. Handy, who five years ago wrote ‘The Memphis Blues.’ This dance was ‘often played by me last season during the tour of the Castles, but never in public. Mr, Castle became interested in it, but did not believe it suitable for dancing. He thought the time too slow, the world of today demanding staccato music. Yet after a while he began to dance it at private entertain- ments in New York, and, to his aston- ishment, discovered that it was imme- diately taken up. It was not until then that Mr. and Mrs. Castle began to dance it in public, with the result that it is now danced as much as all the other dances put together. Mr. Castle has generously given me the credit for the fox trot, yet the credit, as I have said, really belongs to Mr. Handy. You see, then, that both the tango and the fox trot are really Negro dances, as is the one-step. The one- step is the national dance of the Ne- gro, the negro always walking in his dances. I myself have written prob- ably more of these new dances than any other composer, and one .ot my compositions, ‘The Castle Lame Duck Waltz,’ is, perhaps, the most widely know of any dance now before the public.” In the southern states are to be found about seventy banks that are owned, controlled and operated by Ne- groes, In addition to these might be mentioned numerous building and loan associations. The kindly spirit that prevails be- tween white people and colored in the South is evidenced by the fact that presidents or cashiers of white peo- ple's banks haye given liberally of their advice to the competing Negroes’ banks, sometimes opening the first set ot books for them and supervising their operation until they were well under way. Not long ago a bank conducted by Negroes in Richmond nearly became the object of a “run” because of an erroneous report concerning the bank's integrity. Several of the leai- ing banks conducted by white people, through their presidents, told the Negro bank managers to pay claims promptly and that they would provide the funds required if necessary. They knew that the Negroes’ bank was safe and solid and they had confidence in the honesty of the Negro president. Robert R. Moton of the Hampton institute reports that “in almost every community the Negro and white busi- ness men are on terms of harmony and co-operation, loaning and borrow- ing and crediting as if both were white or both were black. In two years Minnesota has spent $3,524,814 for better roads. “Ihave written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one” (I John 2:15). As Professor Findlay comments on this passage, “a manly self-respect and self-mastery are gained at adolescence or are forfeited.” In the days when all our native powers of will, imagina- tion, enthusiasm and aspiration are at their best, and when the conditions of life are most favorable to self-dis- cipline, we must deal with those ig- noble motions of pride, covetousness, fretfulness, impatience, wrath and egotism which so painfully disfigure unsanctified old age. Age chiefly shows what a man is, what he has ever been, whether to his honor or discredit. It is not the season of degeneration so much as that of revelation.

Hilts Ie Sponsor for Measure to Give State Fund at Once. | Weatern Newspaper Union News Service, Denver—A bill which would allow the State Highway Commission to ob- tain $250,000 immediately from the State Board of Capitol Managers for highway improvement this year has been prepared by Hiram E. Hilts, member of the Board of Capitol Man- agers and former state senator from Denver. It was approved by Attorney General Farrar. The measure provides for the issu- ance of three certificates covering portions of the capitol board’s income during three years to meet the total amount owed by the board to the in- ternal improvement fund with interest. ‘The certificates would be credited to the school funds from which the money would be taken and their amounts would be paid as the income was received under the capitol board’s }annual levy. Governor Carlson has been consider- ing a plan of the kind in order that the road improvement work through- ‘otit the state may be pushed this year. Receipt of the money would allow the | Highway Commission to spend approx- imately/ $400,000 during the coming working season and would thus assure that about $800,000 would be spent this year on Colorado roads, as the coun- ties must duplicate the sums spent by the state. ‘The institution of extensive road work has also been suggested to the governor as @ means of relieving the condition of unemployed men in the ‘state. Eugenic Marriage Bill Introduced. Denver,—A bill providing for en- genic marriages and probibiting per- sons from wedding in Colorado whe have not first submitted to medical examination and filed affidavit of the result with the city clerk, was intro- duced in the "House by Representative F. E. Wallace of Pueblo. The bill states that the results of all examina- tions, which both woman and man must undergo, will be kept secret. Hereditary insanity, incurable dis- eases and tuberculosis will also dis- qualify a person from marrying in Colorado under provisions of the bill. Another clause is designed to prevent persons with a criminal record from wedding. Dr. Wallace declared that he has made a study of eugenics and believes the passage and enforcement of such a measure would do much to better future generations. Utilities Body to Probe Rail Fares. Denver.—Passenger fares and rules, regulations and practices affecting passenger fares of every steam rail- road im the state will be the subject of the most sweeping investigation ever made in the state of Colorado, in hearings before the State Public Utilities Commission, to be begun in the commission's chambers at the state capitol March 1. The probe has been begun by the commission's own motion, superseding a proposed inves- tigation into rates and fares, rules and practices of railroads operating between Pueblo and other points in the state. Brief in Loan Law Contest. Denver—Volney T. Hogeatt, regis- ter of the state land board, is acting as associate counsel in the suit now pending before the State Supreme Court to test the validity of the farm- ers’ loan law. At the request of At- torney General Farrar, he is partici- pating in the case and is preparing ‘a brief to be filed with the court in the next few days. An effort will be made to have an early hearing in the case so that any defects in the law may be remedied by the present Gen- eral Assembly. County Unit School Bill. Denver.—The industrial commission and temperance bills enjoy the dis- tinction of being “big” legislation be- fore the Twentieth General Assembly, but even these two measures do not promise to arouse the direct, personal interest among legislators that will be given to the proposed law to create the county unit and rural school sys- tem in Colorado. Inheritance Tax to Pay Indebtedness. Denver—Receipts from inheritance taxes will be set aside to meet the indebtedness of the state, und-+ an agreement reached by Governor Carl- son and Republican legislative lead- ers for the introduction and passage of such a bill. The state’s indebted- ness is approximately $4,200,000 and the average estimated annual inheri- tance tax income is $300,000. Lee New Factory Inspector.

DECLARES COMMERCIAL MEN OFTEN COME TO GOVERNMENT _ “WITH BRISTLES OUT.” PRESIDENT INVITES CO-OPERA- TION IN FRAMING MEASURES FOR GOOD OF ALL.” ie ee eee Ce eee ata Washington.—Co-operation between business and the government in fram- ing laws for the benefit of all the people was urged by President Wilson in an address before severai hundred representative business men here at- tending the annual convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. He declared that “we must all pool our interests” in order to dis- cover the best means for handling pub- lie problems, The creation in the United States in time of peace of the same kind of united spirit which moves nations dur- ing wars was advocated by the Presi- dent, who remarked that “when peace is as handsome as war there will be no wars” and “when men engage in the pursuits of peace in the same spir- it of self-sacrifice as they engage in wars, wars will disappear.” ‘The President precicted that while there is a shortage of food in the world now, the shortage will be much Greater later. He pointed out that un- der the guidance of the Department of Agriculture efforts must be made by farmers in the United States to grow ‘more grain, in order that the world may be fea. __, Speaking of the foreign trade of the United States, the President asked ae business men devise some way of allowing exporters in the United ‘States to combine to get common sell- ing agencies and to give long time credits in such a way that these co- operative devices may be open to the use of all. He declared that apparent- ly the anti-trust laws prohibited such combinations now, but he would fa- yor « change if a method fair to all could be found. He spoke of the work being done by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in “surveying the world” for the benefit of all business men, Business men themselves are to blame if intelligent laws affecting them are not framed, the President asserted. He added that they should come out juto the open and uge their knowledge of conditions to bring about fair laws to prevent business evils. The Mexican question was men- tioned by Wilson as an example of the difficulty he had in getting accurate information. Secretary Bryan urged support for the administration ship bill and ratiti- cation of the Colombian treaty. GERMAN SHIPS TORPEDOED. Russian Submarines Make Attack Off Danish Island of Moen, Is Report. London.—The Exchange Telegraph Company has received the following from its Copenhagen ¢orrespondent: “Emperor William's visit to Wil- helmshaven is believed to be in con- nection with the warning of the Ger- man admiralty to neutral shipping that great activity may be expected off the north and west coasts as a result of German attempts to stop England's transportation of troops and muni- tions. This is interpreted here as a prolog to important events at sea, It is rumored that Germany will try to engage the British fleet in southern waters, while another squadron goes northward at full speed with the ob- ject of covering the landing of troops in England. Great Britain now has 1,000,000 new troops ready to be start: ed across the channel. “Large contingents of troops are reported to have been mobilized at Wilhelmshaven at the time of the ies ‘arborough raid,” An official statement from Petro: grad says that a German torpedo boat destroyer was sunk by a Russian sub- marine on the Baltic on Jan. 29. The submarine attack was made off the Danish island of Moen. Three German warships in the Bal- tic have suffered at the hands of the Russians within a week, The Ger- man protected crulser Gazelle was torpedoed near the island of Ruegen and was taken to the port of Sassnitz, badly damaged. A dispatch said an- other German gunboat had been sunk in the Baltic. Stockyards Bank Officials Change.

Progressiveness, as the modern, descriptive title for things in general, which represent the "away-ahead" thoughts and ideas of individuals who want to get something new and startling out of the ordinary conditions of life, is being over-worked in these days. "Something doing" is the announcement which commands the attention of an expectant people, and the desire for movement, action, excitement, has become so universal that all the old, modest customs and habits of society are being abandoned, and all who aspire to lead or command are finding themselves under actual obligation to "start something" and keep it going. So it goes with all the progressives. Something new, outlined upon a program as big as you can conceive it and properly handle it, is the rule of action. Those who would lead in any field must lay out and start the big work themselves and thereby draw their following. There is no more waiting to be sought out and shoved to the front. If you want anything more than ordinary in this world at present, just make up your mind that you have got to peel off your coat and start that thing for folks to look at.

The Right Kind of Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter --- don't want to read anything about socialism, it might unsettle me, for I wish to be comfortable in my mind." That is an increasingly common attitude in Boston. Let us laugh and be comfortable. Grand opera and drama require thought, therefore they languish. Musical comedy requires little or no thought, therefore it thrives. In a more artistic community the theater is not a place for exciting amusement only; it is rather an institution where life may express itself through a great and serious art. A few years ago President Lowell bewailed the fact that the taste of college students had so degenerated that they flocked to witness musical comedies, while they neglected serious drama. Their lack of esthetic taste leads them to be easily amused so long as "the show" is lively, gaudy and has plenty of pretty chorus girls. Sometimes, however, the personality of a single dancer or singer is the chief point of appeal, and to exploit that personality the musical comedy manufacturers build around it a crazy structure of songs, dances and impossible plot, which demand no thought from the spectator. But callow collegians are not the only patrons of these "shows." The "tired business man," whose days are spent in strenuous competition with his fellows, the man whose aim is to have more money each year than he had the last, he, too, seeks relaxation when the tension of the day is over. Since he wishes to banish all thought, he seeks the musical comedy, that he may sit passively and give up his senses to the lilt of music and the thrill of dances. With him also forgathers the woman who hates to think because it hurts her unused brain. She, too, goes merely to be amused and dazzled by the highly artificial spectacle. Therefore as long as so large a proportion of Boston's public regard amusement as the only purpose of the theater, as long as they show a decided aversion to art that requires thinking, so long will musical comedy be popular here. have but one kind of work to do—the conversion of land rent into public improvements. This is for the following reasons: Every living person has an inalienable right, by birth, to free and common use of the earth. The earth is public property, and private use of it is a special privilege which should be subject to a rental charge equal to the value of the privilege. All land rent belongs to the public and should go into the public treasury. All land rent should be used for public improvements. Such use of the land rent would require the steady services of all the unemployed. Steady work for the unemployed will raise wages in all lines of industry and increase all markets. The increased sale will cover the increase in wages without increasing the prices. All of the people individually, as consumers and tenants, continually pay land rent unequally, in prices and rents, to the so-called land owners, claimants or squatters. This land rent really belongs to all of the people collectively and equally, by birth, and should be paid to them in the form of public improvements, thus providing free and common use of land rent in lieu of certain land. It is an enormous amount, but it only equals the poverty of the people to whom it rightfully belongs and should be paid. The people cannot get their land rent and higher wages without first hiring all of the unemployed to convert the rent into public improvements. necessity. When Margaret Fuller, in her large, transcendental, Boston way, said, "I accept the universe," Carlyle growled, "Gad, she'd better." It is out of the same kind of compulsion perhaps that we accept our own age. It is the only one we have ever had, and it behooves us to accept it. Yet it is the heart of Christianity to believe that each new age is the best. Optimism is only another term for belief in God. Our age is the best the world has ever known—until the next one. The most difficult and fascinating task is in forecasting the future. When we look back to the beginnings of our own national life and realize how far as we have progressed, who will dare set limits to the achievements of the coming age. When we realize the tremendous uses of gas and steam, we smile at the venturesome predictions of a day gone by. So the coming age may make our largest dreams seem ridiculously small. It will see greater things in material development, but also greater things in the spiritual movements that are even now clearly discernible. The tendency toward a spiritual philosophy, the rediscovery of the social conscience and the united world-wide missionary movements are foregleams of a better day.

Chinese officials have said, "Before the black devil of opium is disposed of the little white devils of cigarettes and morphine are coming in." A big tobacco company has carried on a systematic and ingenious educational campaign with the slogan "A cigarette in the mouth of every man, woman and child in China." It is said that, though cigarettes were hardly used twelve years ago, China now uses more cigarettes than the people of the United States. Wu Ting Fang, former minister from China to the United States, heads a movement against the cigarette and says: "If cigarette smoking is allowed to go on unrestricted the evil will soon be greater than that caused by opium smoking." Boston Public Wants Its Senses Tickled By MARY E. WYNNE. Boston, Mass. don't want to read anything about socialism wish to be comfortable in my mind." That is attitude in Boston.

Grand opera and drama require though Musical comedy requires little or no thought more artistic community the theater is not a only; it is rather an institution where life is great and serious art. A few years ago President Lowell bewildered college students had so degenerated that the comedies, while they neglected serious drama, leads them to be easily amused so long as "it has plenty of pretty chorus girls. Sometimes of a single dancer or singer is the chief point that personality the musical comedy manufactures of songs, dances and impossible pleasures from the spectator.

Successful Effort to Suppress Opium By DUNCAN C. MILNER, San Francisco Christian nations, like the United States and the Chinese people to use liquor, tobacco and Chinese officials have said, "Before disposed of the little white devils of cigaring in."

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-Fourth Avenue and Ogden, David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the three Baptist churches of the city will hold a union covenant and communion service at Central church. This should be a sort of record service both from attendance and enthusiasm. It is the pastor's hope that Zion will be well represented in the meeting. Last Sunday afternoon the ladies of the Mission Circle were addressed by Dr. A. Houghton Rodgers of South Africa. The address was both interesting and instructive. During the year the Missionary ladies' will hold an afternoon service on each fifth Sunday. Dr. Morse of the First Baptist church will address the Men's Bible Class on the last Tuesday evening of this month. Dr. Morse is a pleasing and magnetic speaker and the men will be delighted with his address. Every man is welcome to the meetings of the class, Tuesday evenings at 8 o'clock. A very pleasant and profitable meeting of the executive board was held at the Springs last week, being entertained by the St. John's Baptist Church. At the close of the meeting the Rev. Davis, formerly of the M. E. Church, was ordained and set apart to the gospel ministry of the Baptist Church. The Woman's Bible Class is doing splendid work this season. The lessons at this time are from that interesting period of Israel's wanderings in the Wilderness. The hour is 2:30 on Thursday afternoon. Every woman is welcome. Our sick list this week contains the names of Brother Robt. Johnson, who is suffering severely from an injured foot. Sister Sallie Buford and Sister Emma Taylor. Others, who were mentioned earlier, are conceived. Seven persons were received into the church last Sunday: Sisters Georgia Thornton, Helen Moody, Minnie Smith, Ella Ross and Brothers D. F.

Malanda, Mrs. Laura Hill, Mrs. Mattie Wilson, Miss Samiro Harris Compose a most energetic staff of workers in this respect. The organ donated by the School of Mines at Golden through the Moderator of the Prebystery for this work is appreciatively received. THE DESTINY OF THE WICKED (Continued.) Man, lead by the dim, flickering candle of his own reason, cannot solve the question of what awaits the incorrigible in the life beyond. Our only hope for the correct solution of this mystery is the Scriptures of Truth. We turn, therefore, reverently to the Word of God, and inquire of its Author, what is the final destiny of sinful, unregenerate men who reject the overtures of mercy and die in their sins? Surely this divine revelation, given us as a guide light upon the problem, will shine forth, and from its sacred pages we do indeed gain a most clear and comprehensive answer. This we shall endeavor to make plain from the Scriptures to the mind of the candid reader by a consideration of the question under a few simple propositions. First. The sinner does not have eternal life. Jesus declares, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him," John 3:36. The unrepentant sinner, therefore, is without life; he is alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, Eph. 4:18. Everlasting life is embraced and received through faith. Those who believe have life, but those through unbelief who are separated from the life of God, who do not "see life" and are "cut off" from the life of God, do not have life and cannot live eternally in the confines of despair. This must be apparent to all. Again we read, "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." I John 5:11, 12. The wicked are "without Christ, "having no hope, and without God in the world," Eph. 2:11, 12. They are therefore without life, for this text tells us clearly that he that "hath not the Son of God hath not life." The wicked, therefore, being without life, and under the sentence of death, can have no second probation, neither can they have a conscious existence in a place of torment throughout eternity. To suffer in the lake of fire forever, the lost would need to have eternal life as well as the righteous. This is not only unscriptural, but destroys the foundation of the Gospel, which gives life only to the believer. The great central truth of Christianity is life through Christ. It was that those who were dead in trespasses and sin might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly, that Christ was manifested in the flesh, John 10:10. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." John 10:27, 28. By this we see that eternal life is the gift of God, bestowed only upon the little flock. "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," Romans 6:23. The apostle Paul speaking of the gospel and power of God, says: "Who hath saved us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." II Timothy 1:9, 10. "Life" and "immortality" are not synonyms. Christ brought two things to light through the gospel: one is life, the other is immortality. Man by nature has neither. He is "dead in trespasses and sin." He is a mortal man, Job 4:17. God only hath immortality, I Timothy 6:16. We receive eternal life when we believe, but immortality will be bestowed upon the righteous only at the resurrection of the just. It is at this time that "this mortal must put on immortality," I Cor. 15:53. To live forever man must believe on Jesus. The wicked, through unbelief, are separated from life. They cannot therefore be conscious, enduring unspeakable torture in a place of punishment throughout all eternity. We repeat, any teaching which clothes man with life, apart from the gospel, distorts the plan of salvation brought to man through the sacrifice of Christ. J. W. OWENS. (To Be Continued.) THE ATLAS DRUG CO. Twenty-seventh and Welton Streets. "Onward, even onward," the motto of the Atlas Drug Co., asserts itself once more, and so conspicuously this time that one cannot help taking notice of it. The many and various changes of the interior of their stores from time to time, coupled with the most improved line of merchandise in drugs, toilet articles, etc., cater to the satisfaction of their patrons, who continue to praise them as being second to none in this particular business. The latest improvement is the installation of a new soda fountain, after the latest iceless design, the same being made of onyx and Assyrian marble and capable of accommodating twice as many persons as the old; also the erection of a gallery, which makes it more advantageous to clerks in reaching for drugs. These, with other decorations, complete Store No. 1, the attractiveness of which magnetizes the passer-by. Quite a renovation has also taken place at Store No. 2, Twenty-sixth and Welton streets, where the splendid fountain which once graced the headquarters of the firm is to be seen, and what with the frescoing of the walls and equipment of the shelves, etc., this store bids fair to be a favorable competitor with its friendly rival. The firm promises to continue the same courteous treatment to its customers, prompt attention to the filling of prescriptions, the quickest possible delivery service, as well as its readiness to supply anything in the periodical and magazine line for those of literary tastes.

The news reached the city Thursday of the death of John E. Oglesby, formerly a member of Engine Co. No. 3, who died at his mother's residence in Zenia, Ohio. Mr. Oglesby has many friends in the city who will be sorry to learn of his death. Mrs. Eli Burrell and son, Henry, came in from the ranch at Wiggins, Colo., on a visit to Mr. Burrell. You ought to have seen the elder Burrell's face with smiles over the good things brought him by his wife and son. They will return in a few days. Mrs. Julia Reed and her charming daughter, Miss Myrtle, of Colorado Springs, were in the city last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Brumell 2040 Lafayette street. They came especially to attend The Self Improvement Club ball. Mrs. Moral Keelan entertained the Avondale 500 club at her beautiful residence, Friday afternoon, Jan. 29, in a very sumptuous manner. The house was beautifully decorated and all the members enjoyed themselves. A dainty luncheon was served in Mrs. Keelan's inimitable manner. The Elk's Mountain Lodge No. 39 held their public social session last Wednesday evening at their hall, 2630 Welton street, which was largely attended. The program consisted of speeches and songs, and after a delightful repast was served to their guests. The wee, sma' hours of the morning saw them departing for home with nothing but praise for the Elks and their hospitality. Keep it up, Brother Elks. Rev. A. M.

You say you came to Denver twenty, thirty or forty years ago. What have you done for others since you have been here, or to give you an opportunity? What are you willing to do now? Mrs. Rose Tumlin, wife of our well known townsman, E. C. Tumlin, employe of the U. S. mint, died Saturday, 30th ult., at her late residence, 2555 Clarkson street. Funeral services were held from Scott M. E. church Wednesday afternoon 2 o'clock. The large attendance that gathered to view her last remains, showed the popularity of the deceased and the esteem she was held in both in church and club circles. She was a faithful member of Scott church for ten years, and labored assiduously for the cause of Christ. The Revs, Smith, Reynolds and Price officiated, the sermon being preached by the first, who brought consolation to the bereaved ones as well as a warning to those who are living Godless lives. Having been a very active member of the church in choir work and class work, resolutions were read expressing deep regrets over her demise, which, although a loss here, is a gain beyond. Many beautiful floral offerings adorned the casket. The Douglass Undertaking Co. were in charge of the remains, everything being carried out successfully under the direction of Frank Rogers, one of the staff. Interment at Riverside cemetery. The Colorado Statesman extends its sincere sympathy to Mr. Tumlin and others of the bereaved family commending them to the Arch-Consoler. SOCIAL EVILS AND SOCIETY. R. O. says: "Whether an organized body with officers, or not, society is a human force at work for the betterment of all humanity, and, that, if society gossip is the worst of all social evils, gossip encouragement is equally as dangerous. This article has been abbreviated in order to be brief and pointed, that the reader will not loose interest, and read it all. True society is one of the necessary elements, for the accomplishments of things tangible, and one of the elementary steps to greatness, power and influence, for any Race or Nation. We often hear the expression from one among the masses, "They are society folks," this expression, with its meaning, eminates from one of our "Social Evils," that is, a misconception of true society and society leaders, by the so-called Society Folks," and the one who speaks from among the masses; particularly true of the former. There are so many men and women, who strive hard to become "society leaders," with little or no knowledge of what it actually is or really means. To be a society leader is not to be proclaimed so by the few, but by your "social welfare work," you will be so proclaimed by the many. You must be one, who is always doing things; with a smile and pleasant word for all, alike. The leaders in organized and exclusive societies have not attained this distinction, by mere dress and expensive entertaining, but rather by the manner in which they present themselves. Whether an organized body with officers, or not, society, is a human force at work for the betterment of all humanity, and a social leader is one who is the common choice of all the people. Probably the greatest of all social evils is "Society Gossip and Gossip Encouragement," the generation of Mary, did you hear the report about Miss Thompkins?" (when she hasn't heard it herself). Mary, (excited and eager to learn). "No, what is it?" Gossiper, "Why, they are connecting her name with the Johnson affair." Unaware of the fact that she is lending encouragement to an unauthoritative scandal, Mary, asks for details. Now here is where you loom up as a real society gem, do not ask the gossiper for details, but better tell her you do not care to hear it, that you doubt the truthfulness of it, and tell the gossiper she had better be careful for fear her authority, if any, will deny any knowledge of the affair, once it has gained a wide circulation and is to be traced. Though "Society Gossip" is such an evil, Gossip Encouragement may be equally as dangerous. Resolve to be a desert for the gossiper, and if she finds no fertile soil, it will mean, the social myriologue for the social gossiper. Society leaders, popular and exclusive society are necessities, and we will enlarge upon their merits in our article of next week, Denver Society for 1915. On Easter Monday, April 5th, the Masons will give a big entertainment at East Turner Hall. Morrison's orchestra. Mrs. J. E. Thomas, 1260 Vine street, has nicely furnished rooms to rent to first-class men, with board reasonable. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Our pastor's sermon topics for tomorrow will be as follows: 11:00 a.m., "The Ministry of Angels," and 7:30 p. m., "Spiritual Telegraph." The choir will render one of Chas. H. Gabriel's choice compositions, "All Hall Immunel." And the rite of Christian Baptism will be administered at the close of the morning service. Despite the storm last Sunday, our quarterly meeting was attended with considerable interest and enthusiasm. Presiding Elder Ward and Rev. D. R. Jones of Cheyenne, Wyo., were the pulpiteers and both acquitted themselves most creditably. At the quarterly conference Tuesday evening, the facts were disclosed that during the past three months seventeen persons have been received into the church; three have been converted to the Christian faith. Our membership numbers six hundred and one, and our total receipts for all purposes have been upward of $1,200. The musical drama repeated Thursday evening proved to be more popular than at its first rendition. The ladies selling tickets made the following fine showing: Mrs. A. L. Clement, $35; Miss Elizabeth Miller, $25, and Miss Gladys Briedlove, $4.50. All three of them are very grateful to the public for supporting them so generously, and the pastor and trustees wish to thank most heartily Mrs. Mae E. Byrd and her associates for the fine entertainment and the financial assistance given. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown of 1182 South Pearl street, on Tuesday last, entertained at a six o'clock dinner Revs. R. R. Jones of Cheyenne, Wyo. A. M. Ward, R. L. Pope and Mrs. Unity Hall. The affair was beautiful and the guests left this home almost too full for expression. The regular meeting of the Mite Missionary Society will be held in the lecture room of the church Thursday next at 2:30 p. m. It is earnestly desired that every member will answer the roll call. A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR The Ladies' Busy Aid Society of Shorters, which appeared before the public several weeks ago in a comical skit, which met with popular approval, repeated the play last Thursday evening to a large and appreciative audience. As on their previous appearance the participants covered themselves with glory and met with unstinted praise. Their acting was supurb and the songs were catchy. Several of the members possess histrionic ability of a high order, which only needs development to place them on the highest rung of the ladder of fame. There is much latent talent among us which only needs coaching. There will be a Chitterling supper and musical entertainment given by the Queen of the West Temple No. 1, S. M. T., Tuesday evening, February 9th, at the residence of Mrs. Evelyn Andrews, 1336 Broadway. A cordial invitation extended to all.

Ceremony and Cannon Balls There is a tale told about an officer who was conversing with Marlborough during a hot engagement, and insisted on taking off his hat and bowing profoundly every time he spoke to the duke. That great man suggested that at such a time they might very well waive all ceremony. But the officer bowed deeply to his commander's suggestion, and just as he was bending down a cannon ball cleared him and took off the head of a comrade. The officer, on coming up again, and seeing what had happened, remarked calmly: "Your grace perceives that one loses nothing by politeness." — London News. Thinking Charity. If we could realize that, supposing we were all created alike and subject to the same circumstances, we should all make the same mistakes and blunders, our judgment of others would be different. There is no phase of charity so beautiful as thinking charity. If you give all you have to the poor, or show your charity in any other way, it availeth nothing so long as you think unkindly and unjustly. Charity hurts no one by word or deed. —J. N. Street. Disavowed the Corset. In the nineteenth century, directly following the French revolution, when men lived and dreamed in terms of freemen, women expressed their desire for an untrammeled existence by disavowing their corsets and adopting the long, easy lines of the empire gown. The style of the corset depends on the style of the gown, and here, again, concessions were made to the figure, which rendered stays unnecessary. Scared the Scare. Through a moving day accident little Tim had been left all day in a locked and lonely house. "Weren't you scared?" he was asked, when his absence from the reunited family had been discovered and his rescue effected. "Didn't it frighten you to stay there so long all alone?" "I was awful scared at first," was Tim's naive confession, "but this afternoon I was just sort o' sleepy. I guess I got so scared this morning that it scared the scare right out of my bones!" SCIENCE The Triumph of Science A new era of commercial and social development has dawned for this busy, progressive nation. The means by which the human voice can be carried across the continent have been provided. Talking by telephone from New York to San Francisco is now an accomplished fact. The celebration of this latest and greatest triumph in the art of telephony has just taken place. This triumph of American brains, American initiative and American scientific and technical skill has no equal among the civilized nations of the world. One hundred million people will have for their daily use the greatest system of communication in the world. It knows no North, no South, no East, no West. It advances the neighborliness of the whole nation. With no traditions to guide, and no experience to follow, the engineers of the Bell System have created an entirely new art—the Art of Telephony. They have given to the people of this country a telephone service that has no equal. The Bell System, with its connecting companies, now comprises 21,000,000 miles of wire and 9,000,000 telephones. It serves daily a nation of one hundred million people. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. T. Ernest McClain, A. B. D. D. S. Sundays and Nights by Appointment.

He pressed with godlike earnestness And an unconquerable soul Through hellish hate and bloody stress, To die a martyr at the goal. III. We worry over little cares, We mutter foolish, selfish, prayers, And think that God will deign to heed; We scheme to keep our brothers back, We long to dazzle or to lead.

Then thrust our little cares aside. And turn away, and are ashamed. PENS THAT ENDED GREAT CIVIL WAR Precious Historic Relics Used By Generals Grant and Lee Are Now Treasured in Missouri City. THE two pens that ended the great Civil war are in Missouri. Only once have they been dipped in ink since the memorable day when U. S. Grant and Robert E. Lee made use of them in the Virginia hamlet diggified by the name of Appomattox Courthouse. The present owner, Dr. E. P. Cronkite, a St. Joseph dentist, would deem it little short of sacrilege for the pens to be touched by any drop of ink destined to flow into ordinary sentences. The pens repose securely in a strong box in Doctor Cronkite's St. Joseph home, 2015 Francis street. They still are wrapped in a paper taken from the table on which the surrender paper was signed. The coming of these historic pens to Missouri was not heralded. They were added to one of the most interesting private historical collections in the state, but a collection the existence of which is quite unknown even in St. Joseph save to those of Doctor Cronkite's intimates who have had the hospitality of his den on the third floor of his home. The pen came to Doctor Cronkite from Mrs. A. B. Lawrence of Warsaw, N Y., after the death of her husband, Colonel Lawrence, who in his lifetime was indeed an indefatigable collector. The colonel gathered together every Bible translation but two, while his collection of coins sold for $10,000 on his death. One tie between the St. Joseph collector and Colonel Lawrence was the fact that Doctor Cronkite's father was an officer in the First New York dragoons, of which Colonel Lawrence was lieutenant colonel. No better history of the pens probably is to be desired than the one written out in Colonel Lawrence's handwriting: "The pens in this box, one a quill, the other steel, marked at the time, April 10, 1865, are the ones used in signing the Gen. R. E. Lee surrender papers in the Col. Wilmer McLean house, where the surrender took place at Appomattox Courthouse, Va. April 10, 1865, and were given to me in the McLean house April 10, 1865, as souvenirs with a piece of the table on which General Lee signed the surrender dictated by General Gran. The piece of table was given to me next day in my office in the sheriff's room of the courthouse by Colonel Wilmer McLean, with a certificate of his history. The sheriff was William Daniel Hix, now in Hixburg, Appomattox, Va., to whom I turned over the surplus surrender property for distribution among the poor and deserving of the vicinity of the surrender by verbal order of General Grant to me in the presence of Maj. Gen John Gibbons, president of the commission left by General Grant to close up surrender matters at the courthouse. The ragged piece of paper in which the pens are wrapped was part of a larger piece on the table on which the surrender papers were written, and which I took from the table to wrap the pens in as they were handed to me by General Potter, our Twenty-fourth army corps chief of staff, for the valued souvenirs they were. "These pens have never been but once since dipped in ink, and then at the Soldiers' fair in New York city for my signature the evening General Grant was there. "(Signed) A. B. LAWRENCE." An 'even more detailed account, in Colonel Lawrence's handwriting, tells of his coming into possession of a bit of the surrender table: "Piece of the table upon which Gen. Robert E. Lee signed the terms of surrender dictated by Gen. U. S. Grant, April 9, 1865. Colonel McLean said that Gen. P. H. Sheridan sought to buy the table, but that he would not sell it; that in his absence General Sheridan left a $50 greenback and carried off the table, from which this piece had been broken off in The pens, one quill, the other a common steel pen, used by Gen. U. S. Grant and Gen. Robert E. Lee at the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. the doing.' Which piece he later brought as a relic to Col. A. B. Lawrence in his office in the sheriff's room of the courthouse, also saying that he, McLean, had moved from Manassas, Va., after the Bull Run battle, to escape any more such, and to the safe Appomattox Courthouse, Va., where he had to endure the guying of the residents for running away, etc., and was now glad that they had an eye-opening experience of their own in war terrors, and that it was his vindication which he was glad to have. Also, that the Bull Run battle was fought mainly on his plantation, on which was Bull Run ford, Blackburn ford, McLean ford, etc.; that General Beauregard used his (McLean's) home for his headquarters during the battle, and wrote his orders and dispatches there on this table or stand, and so McLean says: 'The war began on my plantation and ended in my house on this table. So I did not want-to sell it. I have had a hand in the beginning and the end of the war; and enough of it!' "I have since learned that General Sheridan gave the table to Mrs. General Custer. "The certificate given me by Colonel McLean about this table is on file with my Appomattox Courthouse surrender papers, where, under order of General Grant, I acted as chief quartermaster of the United States forces at Appomattox Courthouse, Va., from April 9, 1865, until we retired to Rienmond with effects.

LINCOLN HOUSE OF WORSHIP WADK www.wadk.org Pulpit in church the great president attended at Washington. View is taken from his pew, on the right of the picture. Lincoln an Inventor. Among the inventions on file at the patent office in Washington is one by Abraham Lincoln, designed to enable freight-laden flatboats: to work their way over the sand bars of the Mississippi river. Lincoln conceived the idea when, as a young man, he was himself a boatman on the Mississippi, and met the obstacles that his invention was meant to overcome. The invention consists of one or more huge bellows attached to each side of the boat. When the boat sticks on a shoal, the bellows are to be inflated by means of a windlass connected with upright poles attached to the bellows. The idea is that the air in the bellows increases the buoyancy of the craft, and makes it draw less water. 1809—ABRAHAM LINCOLN—1865 M.

AT TWENTY minutes past ten o'clock Friday evening, April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth in the back of the head behind the left ear and mortally injured. At 22 minutes past seven o'clock the next morning, Saturday, April 15, 1865, he died. There have been many and vast changes since that fateful day, and the prayer which Lincoln prayed that the country might be one again has been answered in a way that would have rejoiced his great heart. Not an anniversary of his birth and death has passed since his cruel taking off on some tribute has not been paid to his memory, and so it will be to the end of time among generous Americans, wherever their residence or inherited sentiments; for, however he may have been misjudged in the confusion and stress of antagonistic opinion, there is none now who does not praise him for his courage and his faithfulness to his honest convictions. He was born in Kentucky February 12, 1809, and died in Washington April 15, 1865, in his fifty-seventh year at the very zenith of his powers. The books are full of the story of his life and work, but there are still many interesting facts connected with him that have not yet been noted, notwithstanding the industry of those who have collected great masses of everything they could find in any way connected with his life and death. Mr. Lincoln, as everyone knows, was shot by Booth while he was attending a theatrical performance at Ford's theater in Washington. "Our American Cousin" held the boards that night and Laura Keene was playing the part of Florence Trenchard for the last time. She had already performed the same part for a thousand nights. Five years before she had played the role at McVicker's theater 1 in Chicago the night of the day on which Mr. Lincoln was nominated for president by the Republican convention, in May, 1860, and all unconscious of the terrible tragedy, she played with uncommon cleverness, and while yet the theater was ringing with laughter and applause, came the crack of the pistol shot from the president's box that plunged the country into mourning. After Mr. Lincoln had been shot he was removed across the street from the theater to the residence of William Petersen, a highly respected merchant tailor, who lived directly opposite the playhouse, at 516 Tenth street. This house is still standing, as is also the old Ford theater, and both are now owned by the government. There have been few changes in the Petersen house. For 40 years Osborn H. Oldroyd has been devoting himself to the assembling together of an invaluable collection, in which are included more than three thousand relics, which constitute, as Elizabeth Porter Gould has said, "one of the most interesting and valuable ever collected in behalf of a human being." The collection contains 250 funeral sermons, about seventy pieces of music, a thousand volumes relating to Lincoln, 300 portraits, busts and medals, photographs of Booth, pictures of the assassin, the family cradle in which the Lincoln children were rocked, an original black locust rail split by the young man, then dreaming of the place he was to fill in the history of the world; the family Bible from which Lincoln's mother read to him when he was a boy, and literally thousands of other things in some sort associated with the murdered president. "The First American." As Lowell said of him, Lincoln was the first American. Whitman calls him "the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and lands." And today he, the leader in a great Civil war, is loved and revered by the South as by the North. Some of the noblest tributes ever paid to him have been those paid by the Southerners. He belongs to the whole nation, and he is the only man since Washington of whom that can be said MET IN THE CAPITAL First Time That President Lincoln and General Grant Greeted Each Other. THERE is a man in the public service in Washington who saw the first meeting between President Lincoln and General Grant in the White House nearly sixty years ago. Charles H. Richards, who for more than fifty years has worked in the stationery room of the senate, saw the meeting. In an interview Mr. Richards narrated the incidents connected with the meeting and recalled the first words ever exchanged between the two great figures on the Union side of the Civil war. Mr. Richards was appointed to his position in the senate stationery room on the recommendation of Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson. He is a native of Massachusetts and was appointed from that state. A. B. "Congress had just passed the act creating the rank of lieutenant general of the army," said Mr. Richards. "While it was well understood at the time that it was for the benefit of General Grant, he was not named in the bill. It was the first time congress had authorized the rank to be conferred in the army since General Washington held it. "President Lincoln summoned General Grant to Washington from the field to confer about the appointment. Grant arrived at 8 p. m. at the old Willard hotel. At 9:30 he showed up at the White House. I was there. "It was a kind of reception, as I recall. The affair was proceeding in an informal way, the president, some members of his cabinet, and Mrs. Lincoln being in the red room, where persons were being received. "The affair was suddenly interrupted by a cry, 'Here comes General Grant!' "President Lincoln immediately left his place in the receiving line and hurried to the door leading to the red room from the vestibule, where he met President Grant. He promptly recognized the general, although they had never met before. My curiosity had led me to the center of interest. "I heard Mr. Lincoln say: 'General Grant, I believe this is the first time we have ever met.' "To this General Grant replied: 'Yes, Mr. President, you are right. You are right; this is the first time we have ever met.' "The rest of the conversation was lost to me, as the two men came closer together and moved away, talking in lower tones. I recall that Seward and Stanton crowded forward and greeted the general and that Mrs. Lincoln also greeted him cordially. A. H. "General Grant soon was hustled into the east room, and as he sat on a sofa he was surrounded by a great crowd. He seemed modest and somewhat bored by the attention showered upon him. "I do not believe there is another man alive who witnessed that affair, and I surely doubt if there is another alive who can recall the first words that ever passed between Lincoln and Grant. "It was understood in Washington at the time that there was some doubt about Grant accepting the commission. He took the ground that if it required him to relinquish active duty in the field and come to Washington he would prefer not to accept it. It was finally arranged that he should continue in active duty in the field and take charge of the movement 'on to Richmond', which was much talked about in that day." THEIR INSPIRATION A. LING LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY. A day of joy, a holiday; A day in festal colors dressed To honor one who knew not play, Nor ever tasted rest! Oh, man of sorrows and of tears, Would we could bring to you Back through the pathway of the years One touch of comfort true! Would you might penetrate The shadows in between. Through all the clouds of war and hate, And mists that intervene, Into the hearts of all the throng Of living men to find Your name and fame the first among The treasures of mankind! IN ENGLISH CHURCH IN ENGLISH CHURCH Bust of Great American Has Been Placed in Country of His Ancestors. IN THE parish church of the village of Hingham, in Norfolk, England, near the old cathedral city of Norwich, lived many generations of Lincolnans, ancestors of Abraham Lincoln. A bust of the great American, set up in that church by a committee of Americans, is shown with the church. A description of the church by Rev. Milo H. Gates, vicar of the Chapel of the intercession and secretary of the memorial committee, is as follows: "The building, dedicated to St. Andrews, is constructed of rough flints with free-stone dressings. It consists of a spacious chancel, a nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, and E Bust of Abraham Lincoln. a battlemented tower 120 feet high, containing a fine chime of eight bells cast originally in 1619, on one of which is inscribed: 'Omnis, sonus, laudet, Dominum.' "The nave, one of the best examples of fourteenth-century architecture, has five clerestory windows on each side. It is separated from the aisles by pillars resting on quattrofoil columns. Formerly at the east end of the two aisles were chapels, probably erected early in the fifteenth century. The east window of the south aisle is one of very great beauty, containing a mixture of geometrical and flowing tracery. The other windows to the north were probably once the same, but have since been replaced PARKS Hingham Church by perpendicular tracery. The chancel window, 36 feet high and 18 feet wide, is filled with ancient German glass dating back to about 1500. Apart from its historic interest the church is well worth a visit by anyone who is interested in church architecture. For the building is quite the best preserved of its style in England."—New York Evening Post. Not Bitter in Defeat: The emotions of defeat at the close of a struggle in which I felt more than a merely selfish interest, and to which the defeat the use of your name contributed largely, are fresh upon me; but even in this mood I cannot for a moment suspect you of anything dishonorable.—Letter from Lincoln to J. Crittenden, November 4, 1858. Saw the Future Clearly. I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing of the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.—Lincoln's letter to Dr. A. G. Henry, November 19, 1858. WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS WASHINGTON.—Although it has been definitely decided that there shall be no social affairs at the White House this winter, one form of social affair will continue to maintain its hold within the White House precincts. Every spondent, a little bolder than his brethren, asks a point-blank question demanding a direct answer on some matter concerning which the correspondents are on tiptoe, the president is likely to laugh and to tell a story in answer, the story always having some kind of a moral intended to point up the fact that it is not always wise to answer questions until the mind has been fully made up as to what the answer should be. When President Wilson meets the newspaper men in conference he stands behind a desk in his circular office room while his visitors form three-quarters of a circle about him. Questions are fired at him all along, or, rather, all around, the line. He parries some of them, answers more of them directly and turns some of them away, as has been said, with a story. Ordinarily about thirty correspondents are present at this Tuesday morning gathering. They are all men, save one, a clever newspaper woman, Mrs. George F. Richards, who is the correspondent of some New England papers. Mrs. Richards is the only woman who holds membership in the press galleries of the two houses of congress. Her husband, who died some time ago, was a member of the gallery. After his death she took up his work and has followed it ever since. Hard to Keep Visitor's Elbows Off the Railings Hard to Keep Visitor's Elbows Off the Railings THERE is an unwritten law that the guest in the gallery of the house or the senate shall not put his elbows, his hat, coat, gloves, guide book, muff, or fan on the railing of the gallery. Indeed, if he but lets his fingers rest ever so tightly on the balcony, as he leans for- looks up with a jerk. "Sit back, please," is all the doorkeeper says; or "Please take your elbows off the railing;" or, "No coats allowed to hang over the balcony." Not long ago one of the doorkeepers, well up in the advantages of labor-saving devices, had cards printed with instructions to guests to keep everything, themselves included, off the railing of the gallery. The cards have been pasted to the capping of the gallery railing of the senate, and on the broad mahogany look like place cards at a banquet. But they do not entirely serve the purpose for which they were intended. Only the other day one was intensely amused watching the patient, vigilant doorkeepers of the senate gallery creep down the aisles and ask people to take their elbows off the cards, and read what was written thereon. As yet no cards have been placed around the gallery of the house. Perhaps it cannot be done, because, whereas the railing of the senate gallery is mahogany, that in the house is marble, and it is possible the cards cannot be made to stick in the usual process of pasting. Rare Collection of Fans in the National Museum Rare Collection of Fans in the National Museum IN THE National museum is a small but rare collection of fans loaned by the late Mrs. James W. Pinchot, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and other women well-known in Washington and New York society. In this collection are ex- phrygian caps on the figures and the costumes of the revolutionists. While in the time of Louis XVI, the period immediately preceding, fans were elaborately decorated with shepherds and shepherdesses and all the exquisite detail which characterized the court of Marie Antoinette. There are several beautiful fans of the Louis XVI period, with wonderfully carved ivory and pearl sticks, and painted with fascinatingly foolish and well-bred looking shepherds and shepherdesses, disporting themselves under impossible trees and reading love sonnets, while seated on uncomfortable, sloping mounds of green. Some of these fans have dainty verses to milady's eyebrows or retrouseuse interwoven with the design. This mock pastoral style was inherited from the Louis XV period, and was soon superseded by elegant and equally absurd-looking ladies and gentlemen, dressed in the costumes of the court. The boudant skirts, and towering head dresses brought into vogue by the ill-fated Marie Antoinette were painted on the parchment leaf, and the sticks, often of tortoise shell, gilt and replete in carving, became the fashion. Washington's Most Used Church May Be Restored THERE has been some talk of "restoring" old St. John's church, on Lafayette square. The structure as it shows today is not quite as when built about cue hundred years ago. It seems that it did not then, as now, have the pillared sure of a large congregation. There is difficulty at times in filling the pews, as they are owned outright, after the fashion of 100 years ago. The church is fashionable for many things, and especially for weddings and funerals, and particularly of these latter for generals and admirals, the final last rites for whom are most frequently said in Washington. So it is no surprise, in going by the church, which is neighbor to the White House, to see awnings proclaiming a wedding or lines of sailors from the navy yard or soldiers afoot or on horseback stationed upon the streets by the church. No other church in Washington seems so much used. A man is standing in front of a desk and is smiling. He is wearing a suit and tie.

Gangs of yeggmen were invading the freight yards of San Andora. There was war—real war—the yeggmen on one side and the employees on the other. A man's life was cheaper than a barrel of apples in San Andora at that time, for the yeggman has neither code nor conscience. He gives no quarter, and he gets none. Four men met in the office of Yardmaster O'Curran. They had met there the previous evening, joking with the grim humor of men whose lives are suspended on a hair between two worlds. Tonight there was no humor in their grimness. Tonight there were four of them. The previous night there had been six. Tom Clarkson, brother and chief assistant of the chief, snapped the magazine of his automatic into place and expressed the sentiment of them all. "There's only one way to beat these murderers," he said, "and that is, if you see your man before he sees you, shoot him first and warn him after." "Tis the only way," agreed Yardmaster O'Curran, "and 'tis the plan I shall use myself if I get into anything. My brother Martin is on his way home, an' I want his welcome to be more fitting than a funeral." The two Clarksons turned in quick surprise to the big yardmaster. "That's good news, Tim," said the chief; "when do you expect him?" "Within the week," answered O'Curran, smiling happily. Mr Clarkson put out a hearty hand. "It's a long and lonely trail he's been on, Tim," said he. "I hope he doesn't bear any grudge against me for his starting on it." "Never a grudge did Martin bear in his life. I know you were rivals in pretty near everything, and by some luck you generally managed to beat him, but I reckon the winner felt more enmity than the loser, even when you beat him for the girl." A momentary frown showed that the elder O'Curran at least felt that there was some cause for grudge. A wet mist was drifting over the yards as the men sought their various patrols. No man was more glad than Tom Clarkson that Martin O'Curran was coming home, for it was when he had married the girl both had courted that Martin had left San Andora on his aimless, restless tramp; but the elder brother's attitude toward him depressed him in spite of himself. He was aroused to the need of watchfulness by the sound of a scuffle at the end of a box car, and as he advanced with drawn pistol, a man with a bludgeon in his hand sprang toward him. He fired. He fired with the intent and skill that takes no chances. A surprised, frightened sob gasped from the stricken man's lungs. For a second he stood upright, then sank to the ground—dead. From beyond the car came the sound of fleeing footsteps. Clarkson sprang past the inert figure and stumbled over another man slowly struggling to his feet between the rails. He was evidently dazed, and Clarkson, still working on the principle of taking no chances, snapped a pair of handcuffs on him before he could recover. "All right, bo," said the man resignedly. "You can't prove nothin' on me mor'n trespass. Did you get the guy you fired at?" "You bet I did. It's the only way to make sure of you murdering thieves." "Huh! Then I guess there'll be somebody to pay an' no brimstone hot. He warnn't no yegg." "He made a pretty good imitation of one when he came for me with his club." The yeggman laughed sardonically, "Say, bo," he said, "I reckon you shot the yardmaster's brother. That's who he said he was. He clubbed me on the head when I tried to make him go in with us." The sickening horror of that minute, and the ordeal of the next few days wrote haggard lines upon the face of Tom Clarkson. Sad of soul, he went back to duty, and the big yardmaster, Tim O'Curran, with a pitiful ache in his heart, read and reread the letter in which his brother had told him that his fit of wanderlust had passed and he was coming home. Two days after the funeral Tom stepped softly into the yardmaster's office and closed the door after him. The yardmaster, bending unseeingly over some papers, looked up as the shadow fell across the light. "Tim," said Clarkson, "I don't know exactly what I've come to say, but somehow I want to add my sorrow to yours and to know that you bear me no enmity." O'Curran stared at him with hard eyes and grimly set lips without saying a word, and Clarkson knew that the hope that he had felt was vain; but pity for the sorrow he had brought was in his heart. "I hope you bear me no enmity, Tim," he said gently. The thin, grim line of O'Curran's lips parted. He spoke in his low, rich, Irish voice, with the faint suggestion of brogue. "Tis the family feud, Tom," said he. "I guess 'tis the family feud. Me an' Martin, an' you an' Jim have been arrayed against each other since we were in knee pants, an' I guess we shall be till one of us ends the feud forever. Me an' Jim, the two eldest, were pretty even matched, an' it was more a game of give an' take. Do You Know That- "But Martin was a soft an' gentle kind, an' you beat him at pretty near everything. Finally you beat him out for the woman he loved as only the tender heart of him could love, an' that sent him wandering on his lonely quest for peace. "Whether 'twas peace or strength he found, I don't know, an' now I never will know; but he was coming home. You knew he was coming, an' whether you feared an' hated him I'll never know that either, but you met him—an' you killed him. 'Twas the feud, conscious or unconscious. 'Twas still the feud. The COLORADO STATESMAN "Do I bear you enmity? Listen! I hate the air you breathe an' the ground you walk on. I hate the clothes you wear an' the food you eat. You bested him always, an' then you killed him, an' I hate you till the soul of me aches with hatred of you an' of your brother. An' so I will till the end of the feud." That night the soft snow lost itself in the wet misery of rain-drenched surfaces as it vainly tried to cover the harsh outlines of things, and black thoughts were stirred in the mind of Tim O'Curran by the distorted memories of the years. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The next morning Tom Clarkson was found in the northwest corner of the freightyard, a thin film of snow jewelling the blackness of his clothes and glazing his face. JOB PRINTING It was the chief who found him—his brother. He was sitting on the ground, propped against a flat-car wheel, his head thrown back and his dead eyes staring into space, as though anxiously following the flight of his departed spirit. An ugly dent marred the fine outline of his forehead, brutally sufficient for its murderous purpose. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY The chief dropped onto his knees and ripped the stiff gloves from the stiff fingers, trying, with something of hysteria, to chafe life back into the loved hand. Then he ripped open overcoat, coat, vest, and shirts—but beyond the cold flesh the heart was still forever. The crunching of heavy footsteps aroused him, and he turned the agony of his strong face to the eyes of Tim O'Curran, the yardmaster. At the sight of it the black vengeance died from the heart of Tim O'Curran like a small fire of hate before a deluge of pity. The sorrow of the grief-stricken man leaped straight to the sorrow of O'Curran's own grief-stricken heart. The quickened memory of his own anguish wrapped itself around the anguish of his enemy and bound him closer than kin or love.

He ran forward, white as the dead face, and in his heart he wished that God would end his grief and remorse with annihilation. Tenderly Clarkson let the stiffening form rest against the wheel and arose. "The yegmen have got him, Tim," he said hoarsely, grateful for the pale sympathy of O'Curran's face. O'Curran, in desperate hope, bent down to the lifeless clay, from which he knew the life had gone six hours before. "Twas a cruel deed," he muttered. "Twas a cruel deed," but his fast-falling tears would not warm back the life his own hand had taken. Together they carried him to the freight shed.

The O'Curran and the Clarkson plots were side by side, and two days later they laid him beside the man whom he had sent on the journey so short a while before him. But the spirit of tragedy still hovered over the freightyard of San Andora, for Tim O'Curran knew that this was not the end of the feud. With bent head he stood by his brother's grave and fought the matter out with his soul. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction At length he found strength for the resolve he would make. "'Twas a cruel vengeance I took for the life of you, Martin," he muttered, "but 'tis the grief of the living an' not the ghost of the dead that has haunted me ever since—the grief of the woman your true heart loved, an' the grief of the strong man that I saw like a little child. I can feel the love an' the ache of his heart, for did I not feel it for yourself. An' now his is added to my own. "'Twas a cruel an' a senseless feud, made in my own mind as it is borne in my own heart, an' 'tis myself only can end it. So I will go to Jim Clarkson an' I will say: "My pity has eaten the heart out of my revenge, but 'tis by the mercy of God. So now, end the feud, but do it by the way of the law, an' so gain ease for your grief an' rest for my soul!" Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver He knelt for a moment by the grave, then, arising, turned to go, and, brighter than the moonlight, looking into his own were the eyes of Jim Clarkson. Snow began to sift through the still air. For an eternity they stood and stared into each other's eyes. Finally Clarkson spoke. "So it was you who killed my brother," he said. "Jim," said O'Curran, "I was crazy with grief for the poor boy coming home. As for the dead, Jim, 'tis but a little hastening on the road; but for yourself my heart has broken itself over your sorrow, an' my spirit has brooded over yours as a mother trying to comfort a child, and 'twas the punishment of God that I could give you no comfort. So now, take me, an' end the feud an' ease your grief." "I will end the feud," said Clarkson quietly. "Pity has eaten the heart out of my revenge, too, and over these graves let us end the feud." With wonderful gentleness he took the hand of O'Curran. The snow fell softly, white and clinging, as the benison of heaven.

They beguile the mind with thoughts of summer time and provide work that is not at all trying. The average needlewoman can make them as pretty to look at and a little more carefully finished than the ready-made garments, although there is not a great saving in cost. Ready-made undermuslins may be bought in several grades, the price increasing according to the amount of handwork and the quality of the making in the garments. Very good materials are used in the moderately priced as well as the higher priced pieces. It is wonderful, in fact, how such good-looking things can be bought for such low prices. But the homemade garment has two points of superiority over the ready-made. More attention is given to details of finishing, and the individual taste of the wearer, in laces and embroidery, has a chance to make itself apparent. Narrow valenciennes insertions and edgings, lace patterns in bedings, and small dainty designs in embroidery, Two Dressy Blouse A BLOUSE of white crepe de chine draped with wide shadow lace in a fine and novel pattern and having half-sleeves of lace, has proved itself to be one of the most useful and dependable articles for the wardrobe of any woman. The same design in light, pink, light blue, or maize, is equally pretty. The underblouse of crepe is plain, with front and back gathered along the shoulder seam, and sleeveless. The lace drapery is merely a short jacket lengthened at the side but not reaching to the waist line. A medicel collar of the lace is gathered at the back and supported by wires. It is extended down the front at each side of the blouse to the bottom. The second blouse is designed to match a suit and is made of a dark-colored chiffon draped over an under-waist of lace and chiffon. It is made with a short yoke at the back and front and has long, fashionable mousquetaire sleeves. A pretty lace chemisette with flaring collar is set in at the front, and lace cuffs finish the sleeves. As a last are favored in all the new models in nightgowns, corset covers, combinations, chemises and drawers. Medallions of fine embroidery of lace, set into the material, are especially liked. And everywhere ribbons are used. The ribbonless undergarment is hardly to be found. Two new nightdresses are shown in the picture, one of them with sleeves made of rows of valenciennes insertion stitched together. Sleeves of this kind are immensely popular, and the new corset covers are provided with them. The body of the gown is simply two widths of nalnsook sewed together and shaped at the top to fit a shallow yoke and lace sleeves. Nainsook is liked best of all the materials made for the new undermusslins. Heavier pieces are made of lonsdale cambric, and very fine ones of batiste. Fine cotton crepes, some of them figured, mercerized mulle, crepe de chine and all-over embroidery figure in the body of many garments; the figured crepe and colored lawns are used for nightgowns and all-over embroidery for corset covers and brassieres. es of Airy Fabrics finishing touch a cavat of narrow black velvet ribbon extends about the neck, terminating in a tiny flat bow, with double loops at the front. Similar bows adorn the sleeves above the lace cuffs. There are many small brilliant buttons made for these dressy blouses. Although they are not featured as they are on coats and dresses they add a very effective and elegant touch in the finish of these very useful garments. Many of the latest models in blouses are made with high military collars. These are not practical unless they are detachable, as collars become quickly solled. But chemisettes with standing collars are made to be worn under the blouse, and this solves the difficulty for those who like the new high collar. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A rubberized plaid cape with green and blue coloring and yellow cross stripes is the latest thing for motoring. The reverse side is of gray. A deep yoke and full hood, for head wear, make it ideal.
