PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY "Jonathan Cover" Sees A Growing Recognition of Negro Effort and Ability VOL XX11. Among the most beneficial achievements of the Negro in America, in his effort to stem the tide of racial opposition that has persistently dogged his pathway during the past half century, none is more significant than the universal respect commanded by the versatility of his genius and the high average of his intellectual equipment. Time was, when these attributes, generally conceded to humanity, were vigorously denied the Negro, and at best were alleged with an interrogation point closely following, and so furnished the topic for much serious discussion. It is a fact too, that there were many, otherwise estimable people, who were alligned on the negative side of the proposition who were ready to resent any charge of prejudice and who seemed genuinely proud to announce themselves as real friends of the Negro. True it is, that from some view points the position was apparently justified, as in the case of the southerner of the "before the war" period, who but indifferently realized that there was any other kind than the cowed and hard-driven Negro of the cotton fields. The cruel conditions of the previous life and environment, covering a period of more than two hundred and fifty years, were certainly not conducive to the development of a high degree of mentality and that the intellectual impulses of a race were not entirely strangled, is perhaps due to the combined facts of extraordinary hereditary vigor and above all else, to the immutable purpose, which from the beginning has directed and controlled the destiny of men and nations. It has often been said, that no other race, has ever emerged from a condition so utterly hopeless and oppressive, to be acclaimed on the instant sovereign citizens, endowed with privileges and powers equal to these enjoyed by the most favored peoples. This doubtless is true and when the real force of the thought is grasped we are filled with wonder that as a race we survived so supreme a test; and not the less so, when we attempt to appraise the precious facts of progress, which emphasize the contrast in the condition of the Negro, then and now. The worlds recognition of the ability of the Negro, to be somebody and to do something, and do it well, is indeed one, if not the one most valuable asset of his half century of citizenship. It has come, seemingly with reluctance and rarely with that full, free and cor- ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION dial appreciation that should be reciprocal and spontaneous in extending sentiments of congratulation and good-will. That it has come, however, is a fact of which the Negro may be proud, for it means a foot-hold higher up on the ladder of recognition and opportunity; it 'means that thru and by his own efforts he has shown it to be impossible to standardize genius and ability, according to the shade of the skin or the curl of the hair. It means too, that he is beginning to realize the strength of the financial and industrial position which he has been building year by year with infinite tool and endurance and that he is steadily and continuously absorbing such fresh elements of preparedness as will emphasize his determination to do a man's share of the worlds work in a manly way, along all the lines which make for progress and civilization. Now there are a great many well-intentioned people in whom these remarks will incite a sentiment of skepticism. This is probably because they are too indolent or indifferent to think seriously along these lines for themselves and besides have cultivated the habit of refusing all conclusions that are not quite as obvious as the sunshine or as insistent as the sense of physical pain. One can scarcely arrive at the truth of any question by accepting offhand the opinions of those who for one reason or another are accustomed to view it from the one angle of their liking. The proofs of a growing recognition of Negro effort and industry in America may be garnered from all the fields of endeavor where previously the white American has been considered to have a monopoly. Science, Art, Literature, Invention and the various fields of industrialism are yielding to him their treasurers, ever more largely as his skill increases. Concrete evidence of this wholesome truth are around and about us in such gratifying measure as to make denial futile. More than this there is an "Atmosphere" of recognition that is everywhere prevalent. It is felt rather than seen. It envelops, animates and inspires. It cannot be repressed and will not be dissipated. Americans Answer Calls Quicker. Statistics have shown that American telephone operators answer calls two seconds quicker than their English cousins. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JANUARY 8. 1916 State Hist & Nat Hist Sociology State House ANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO COLORED CITIZENS ASSERT RIGHTS DENOUNCE RACE SEGRE GATION AND ASKEQUAL OPPORTUNITY An address to the country advocating that the Colored people should use their votes and every other means in their power to receive full recognition and to overthrow segregation was sent out yesterday at the final meeting of the eighth annual session of the National Independent Equal Rights League, held at the Allen A. M. E. Church, Seventeenth and Bainbridge streets. The meeting yesterday was a special celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, and in the evening prominent Colored speakers from all parts of the country were heard. Rev. R. C. Ransom, of New York declared that the greatest statement of all times was Charles Sumner with his Civil Rights bill and asserted that it should be carried through. "Up with civil rights," he said, "and down with segregation." The league, in addition to the address to the country, passed resolutions deprecating the seizure of Haiti, which it contrasted with the Mexican policy and voted to send a delegation to remonstrate to the United States Senate. Other resolutions condemned President Wilson for his endorsement of the segregation of Colored Government clerks, appealed to the public to oppose plays slandering the Colored race, and urging Colored men in the South to register. At the meeting officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. Byron Gunner, Hillburn, N. Y.; corresponding secretaries, William Monroe Trotter, Boston and M. W. Spencer, Delaware; recording secretary, Dr. J. L. Johnson, Ohio; treasurer, Thomas Walker, Washington; national organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New York; chaplain, Rev. E. George Biddle, Connecticut. WHITE PALLBEARERS AT NEGRO'S FUNERAL East Las Vegas, N. Mexico, Dec. 29—At the funeral of Montgomery Bell, one of the wealthiest men in the state, the pall bearers were all white, some of the most prominent businesss and professional men of the community. This is the first time in the history of New Mexico that white pall bearers officiated at a Negro's funeral. Mr. Bell came to New Mexico in 1866 from Missouri, working as a waiter and cook. Later he became a messenger in the First National Bank of Santa Fe. Accumulating some capital he went into the sheep business with Mexican part ners, with headquarters at Las Vegas. He became very wealthy, and possessing plenty of ready cash, he increased his holding by making loans. He was called Bell the money lender. Four years ago he became interested in the banking business with John W. Harris, a white man, and financed the People's Trust Co., but remained as silent partner. He was reputed to be worth in the neighborhood of $350,000 when he died. VICTOR AND CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO, NEWS.; January 2, 1916. WELL! Colorado is now on the dry list and in the Cripple Creek district there are nearly fifty saloons with only ten colored men working in them, but most of them have other jobs in view or will go where they can again wear the white uniform. Mr. and Mrs. William Jones entertained on Tuesday evening at their home at cards in honor of Mr. Laurence Cotwell. Many guests were in attendance. A dainty luncheon was served, after which the guests departed having had a most enjoyable time. Mrs. Allen Harrell of Victor had a narrow escape of being seriously injured on Tuesday evening at her home, by the explosion of a can of "pork and beans" she was preparing for dinner. The following people were visiting in Cripple Creek last week: Mr. and Mrs. Allen Harrell, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Harris, Mrs. Geo. W. Cotwell and M. Laurence Cotwell. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hill's beautiful home at 357 Warren street, Cripple Creek, was the scene of a most delightful watch party on New Year's eve in honor of Mr. Laurence Cotwell, who will leave soon to resume his studies at the Colorado Agricultural College. About forty guests were in attendance. Dancing and cards formed the amusements. Mrs. Wm. Jones and John Kimberling carried off the honors in the card games. A dainty luncheon was served. The people that were over from Victor set the clock back and when some one looked at the watches it was way past car time so every one decided to stay as the Victor folks could not catch a car until morning, so the party started over anew, at daylight the many guests departed after voting Mr. and Mrs. Hill many thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Choutua, old-timers in Cripple Creek will leave in a few days for Lawrence, Kansas, where they will make their home in the future. Mr. Wm. H. Diggs, who has been sick for the past month, is able to be out. Handy Chapel held watch meeting services at the church on Friday evening. Quite a number was out to celebrate that old-fashioned custom. The men who worked in the saloons have made up a parody to the song entitled "The Lord Will Take Care of Me." They are now singing "My Boss Will Take Care of Me." RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Baltimore, Md., Dec. 29.—Bequests amounting to $10,000 are made by the will of Mrs. Ellen Sorrell, just admitted to probate. She was the widow of the late Hiram Sorrell, for many years a head waiter here. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 28.—After undergoing a test examination submitted by the United States local inspector, renewal of his captain's license was granted to R. J. Salisbury, who has served eight years as captain on a passenger steamer on the Tar and Pamlico rivers. Mr. Salisbury is the only Negro in North Carolina who holds this position, his license empowering him to command vessels of one hundred tons or less, or to act as mate on river steamers of any tonnage. He is a native of Tarboro, but is in the railway mail service with headquarters at Norfolk. Ogden, Utah, Dec. 28.—For the first time in history, Ogden Union Station is now manned with colored Red Caps. The change was made recently when the four white men who had been employed were dismissed and four Negroes employed in their stead. L. Clarence Jones, of Chicago, is in charge, with Felix Paskett as bis assistant. The men are paid a salary of $60 per month. Their service has been so satisfactory that already the railroad management has commended them for their impartial and obliging manner to the traveling public. Washington, Dec. 28.—Captain James Gillespie and Lieut. William Roundtree were formally commissioned last week by Secretary of State Lansing and Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General to the United States, as members of the Liberian constabulary. The ceremony took place at the State Department. Captain Gillespie will take the place of Major Young who has been ordered home. He will receive $1,600 a year with $250 for quarters. He is a former member of the United States army. Major Young may be placed in charge of the Haitian constabulary should the United States Senate ratify the pending treaty between that country and this. Waycross, Ga., Dec. 28. —Judge Sommerall, of the Superior Court, sentenced Ben Higgs, a well known white man of Millwood, to ninety-nine years in the State Penitentiary for the murder of Martha Anderson, a Negro woman. The NO 21 crime was committed last July. The jury composed of white men, gave a verdict within thirty minutes after the case was given to them, at the same time recommending the murderer to the mercy of the court. Mrs. Anderson was 59 years old and had never been involved in any quarrel with Higgs. The testimony developed the fact that Higgs tried to hire her to pick cotton for him and when she refused to leave home he fired his Winchester rifle at her killing her instantly. Higgs had been drinking "moonshine", liquor according to his companion. In spite of the terrors and ravages of war, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Hall have returned to Alabama, after spending several months on the Gold Coast of Africa. Mr. and Mrs. Hall, in company with a number of others who had interested themselves in the reports from Africa, sailed from Galveston Texas, in the summer of 1914, under the leadership of Chiaf Sam, a native of Africa. The several months which Mr. and Mrs. Hall spent abroad were used in making the closest observation of the conditions, which are often erroneously reported. In speaking of the country, both Mr. and Mrs. Hall say that the prospects are indeed bright and under the proper guidance, Gold Coast, with its natural resources will, sooner or later, make itself heard. At present, the European wars prevent rapid growth, but with the slightest chance, the country will without doubt prosper.—Voice of Missions. Washington, Dec. 29.—Officials of the Department of State are watching with deep interest an attempt to establish a direct steamship line between this country and Liberia. A few days ago, the steamer Nifon, bound from Boston reached Monrovia. The news was immediately flashed to Secretary Lansing, who, in turn, notified Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to this country. The European war has bably crippled Liberian trade with France, England and Germany, and many have been attracted by the possibilities of trade with this country. Liberian mahogany, rubber and other products could be used to advantage in this country, while meats, machinery, flour, clothing and other products could find a ready market there. The attempt to establish a line between this country and Liberia is being backed by a number of colored men. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS. STORY OF THE WEEK STORY OF THE WEEK SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN OUR OWN AND FOREIGN LANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR Montenegro in desperate straits for food. Italians are reported as having captured Durazzo, the most important seaport of Albania. President Wilson is awaiting full details of the sinking of the Persia before taking action. The Russians have driven the Austrians from Czernowitz, an important strategic point in Bukowina near the Galician frontier. The London Times declares that the Peninsular and Oriental liner Geelong, 5,030 tons, has been sunk near the Mediterranean. Secretary Lansing is preparing to notify all the nations engaged in war on the side of Germany of the American stand on undersea raids. Austria's official representative has informed Secretary Lansing his government is ready to offer reparation if an Austrian boat sank the Persia. Lord Derby's recruiting figures for the period between Oct. 23 and Dec. 15 show 1,150,000 unmarried men and 1,679,263 married men presented themselves for service. The great offensive by the Russians in Bessarabia and Galicia continues with some gains claimed by the Russians. Military critics call the new battle the most important move of the war since the invasion of Serbia. It is designed strategically to take from the Kalser the advantage he has long enjoyed of choosing his own ground for the big battle. Some critics declare it also is intended to squeeze the Teutons out of the Balkans. The central powers have been compelled to gather 1,500,000 men on the 300-mile front chosen by the czar for his drive and apparently are unable to make any big move at any other front. Thus Austria and Germany, long on the offensive, are now on the defensive. The Russians are abundantly supplied with guns and shells and are using them freely. WESTERN Two sharp earthquake shocks were felt at Newport, Ore. The year 1915 was by far the greatest ever known in the Minneapolis grain and milling trades. Two men entered the offices of St. Luke's hospital at Chicago, pointed revolvers at Miss Mary Tobin, the cashier, and escaped with a tin box containing $3,000. Despite the explosions in munitions plants throughout the country the loss by fire in 1915 was less than that of 1914 by $48,768,250, according to the Insurance Press. Senator John F. Shafroth has introduced in Congress one of the first of the good roads bills, calling for the co-operation of individuals, counties, states and the United States in the building and improvement of public roads in rural districts. The Midwest Oil Company paid off the last $50,000 of an issue of $600,000 in notes issued nearly three years ago for the purpose of building a refinery at Casper, Wyo. The notes still have about two years to run, and the fact that the entire indebtedness has been cleared off so far in advance shows that the company has prospered. WASHINGTON Navy officials hope soon to begin withdrawing the marines on duty in Haiti. Secretary McAdoo asked a rush appropriation of $100,000 for rural sanitation and fighting typhoid and pellagra. There is a noticeable determination on the part of members of Congress to hold some nation to strict account for the killing of Americans in undersea raids. Representative Edwards of Georgia introduced a resolution asking Congress to extend thanks to Henry Ford for his "generous contributions and noble purpose in trying to bring about peace in Europe." A peace resolution by Representative Campbell of Kansas provides for the establishment of an "international confederation of the world," to enforce international law with an international army and navy. Improvements of the Los Angeles and Long Beach, Cal., harbors, to cost about $1,400,000, were recommended in a report of General Kingman, chief of army engineers, submitted to Congress by Secretary Garrison. Food prices in the United States during 1914 were higher than at any time during the last thirty-seven years, with the exception of the years 1882, when they were four per cent higher than 1914 prices; 1883, when they were on the same level, and in 1912, when they were one per cent higher.

The Bulgarian government has arrested the French vice consul at Sofia in retaliation for the arrest of the Bulgarian consul at Saloniki. The Paris Matin affirms, notwithstanding denials, that the German emperor is suffering from cancer of the throat and is no longer able to speak. "It is reported from Stockholm that orders have been given to all Jewish refugees at Petrograd to depart immediately," says the Overseas News agency. Announcement is made by the Jiji Shimbo at Tokio that a squadron of Japanese warships will sail for the Suez canal, presumably to protect Japanese shipping. Unofficial dispatches from Cairo state that the British steamship Persia, sunk in the Mediterranean, was torpeded without warning and sank in five minutes. Exports from the consular district of Berlin to the United States in the fourth quarter of 1915 amounted to $628,587, compared with $3,600,235 in the corresponding period of 1914. At the close of 1915 the war had cost more than $26,000,000,000, exceeding by $5,000,000 the total national debts of the six principal belligerent powers when the conflict began. The London Chronicle announces definitely that Sir John A. Simon, secretary of state for home affairs, retires from the Cabinet, "thus breaking his brilliant ministerial career for conscience sake." Robert Mitchell, who served several terms in the Chamber of Deputies and was a brilliant journalistic advocate of the Bonapartists in the early years of the third republic, died in Paris, aged seventy-six years. The London Daily Mail says: "The cowardly sinking of the Persia will steel the hearts of all Britons and prompt them not to a mere denunciation, but to action and will convince the waverers by thousands that the hour has come to enlist." Yuan Shi Kai, president of China, who has accepted the proffer of an emperor's crown, on "request" of various elements in the nation, entered the palace in the imperial yellow chair, sat on the throne and was announced as "His Imperial Majesty" at the New Year day reception given for Chinese officials.

Shevlin, filed for probate at Minneapolis, bequeaths an estate valued at $3,500,000 to Mrs. Shevlin and her two children. During the last year 1,500,000 pounds of foodstuffs were shipped to Palestine for the relief of the destitute Jews, according to the report of Nathan D. Kaplan, president of the Knights of Secon, made at Chicago to the nineteenth annual convention of the society. Hundreds of popular periodicals were withdrawn at Spokane, Wash., from newsstand sale because of the state-wide prohibition law for bidding the advertising of liquors. In cases where magazines were not withdrawn the pages containing liquor advertising were cut out. George Lee Thorne, who says he was formerly a general in Villa's army in Mexico, confessed at Portland, Ore., according to the police, that by fraudulent promotion schemes, and forgeries he had netted in the last ten years in various cities in this country nearly $50,000. Young Ahearn of Brooklyn had the better of Al McCoy, Brooklyn middle-weight, in almost every round of a ten-round bout at New York.

Grand Junction, Jan. 5.—Gateway, a mining town with a population of 160, fifty-five miles southeast of here, is snowbound; cut off from all outside communication, and without food and coal supplies. The inhabitants are reported to be in desperate plight. In the last three weeks the Western Slope has been visited with continual snows, which have made records for snowfall in some sections. All attempts of cattlemen and others to break trails through the snow to care for live stock have been vain. Efforts of citizens to open roads in order to bring in provisions have failed. Colorado Springs.—A terrific wind which swept over Colorado Springs Tuesday afternoon blew in the windows of the Columbine school, injuring many pupils and causing several fires, which destroyed homes in different parts of the city. At Monument, eighteen miles north, the wind was even stronger than in the Springs and great damage was done to telephone and telegraph poles and small buildings. No lives are believed to have been lost at Monument. The wires east and south of here were down most of the day because of the gale, Eastonville, thirty miles east, reporting a seventy-five mile wind and great destruction to farm property. The gale swept a wide territory, centering just north of Colorado Springs and including all of the Pike's Peak region. Glass in the Columbine school was shattered, the flying bits cutting the pupils. Three families lost their homes and all their possessions by the fires, as the flames were fanned to fierceness and did their work before the Fire Department could get to the scene. A number of serious fires were reported from West Colorado Springs. Convicted of Robbing La Jara Bank. Convicted of Robbing La Jara Bank.

Including the years under Thomas F. Walsh it is safe to place the total production of the Camp Bird-group at $20,000,000, and the net profits at $12,500,000, or over 60 per cent of the gross value of the ore. Bootlegging Case at Pueblo. Pueblo.—The first bootlegging case in Pueblo since the prohibition amendment went into effect came to the attention of the police when they arrested Ira A.

The fourfold exhibit was at the Miner Normal school, Georgia avenue and Euclid street, northwest. The greater portion of it was work done on the playgrounds during the summer; added to this were models showing dairy, water supply, housekeeping and other methods, sanitary and insanitary. The remaining two phases were in one sense not an exhibit of a formal nature, being only the regular arrangement of material for study by students at the normal school and included the courses in domestic and other sciences, such as botany, zoology and psychology. Interested persons were made welcome at the school and shown the exhibits and school equipment. No group of the exhibit was more interesting, probably, than the display of playground work. This represented all of the industrial activities of the five colored school grounds under Miss Anita J. Turner. "Service" is the motto for all work turned out—that is, it must be of a character and structure that allows its use. For instance, on display were all sorts of baskets, well made and attractively colored. pocketbooks, crocheted sacks and bootees, aprons, little dresses, collars, dollies, hats, napkin rings and hammocks. Several girls attending the play centers brought their dolls and dressed them. Play aprons for children were made by the youngsters and decorated with subjects dear to the hearts of little ones—the three bears, the cow that jumped over the moon, rabbits, birds, camels, elephants and Mother Goose. One especially attractive display was for table use. It included a centerpiece adapted for the joint use of flowers and fruit; dollies, reed napkin rings and coasters. Because of the lack of money for material, work of this sort is limited. It is hoped that congress will appropriate a sum for carrying it on, so that the maintenance money no longer will have to be raised through entertainments and other similar means. Mrs. Susan Gillies, a Negro woman, who, according to the claim of her relatives, was born a slave, on a plantation in Virginia 115 years ago, died at her home, 571 Classon avenue, Brooklyn. The aged Negress lived with her daughter, Mrs. Julia Thomas, eighty-four years of age, and her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Ella Abbott. Five generations of Mrs. Gillies' family attended her funeral. Mrs. Thomas was very positive as to the age of her mother. She declared that she was born in the year 1800, at Peterborough, Va., on the Peterson plantation, and lived in servitude with the Peterson family until 1863. Mrs. Thomas declared that her mother often told her of visits paid to the plantation by James Monroe before and after his terms as president of the United States. Mrs. Thomas was born on the same plantation and she also lived in slavery until 1863. There are about 12,000 cremations each year in the United States. The first crematory was established in 1876 and during the eight succeeding years only 28 human bodies were cremated. In a communication to the New York World A. J. Casserly of Jersey City, N. J., writes as follows: I read with considerable interest your editorial "Some Native Sons." In these days of criticism of hyphenated citizens your reference to a class of citizens which is content to be plain, pure, simple Americans, furnishes some food for serious thought. You have rightly said that "one of the strongest of their racial characteristics is devotion to country and home." This virtue has been manifest long prior to and since the days of Jethro of the land of Midian. History reports the view that the black man has always proven true to home and country. God forbid that the great mass of American Negroes should boast unseemly of our forefathers' devotion and worth, or of their own. Pre-eminently on the pages of history is emblazoned the fact that in no crisis has the black man been found wanting in devotion to right or in seeking out and supporting the truth as it was given to him to know it. Apropos of this discussion, it may Liverpool has the world's largest dry dock, 1,020 feet long and 155 wide at the water line, the only one in the world large enough to receive 50,000 ton liners. American manufacturers of lead pencils now have the business of the far East practically to themselves. An electrically operated tremolo attachment for stringed instruments has been invented which produces the desired effects when buttons are pressed. If he (Booker Washington) seemed to underemphasize the difficulties growing out of external political and social restriction, it was rather due to his unceasing cry that the kingdom of power and wealth and dignity can rest finally only on spiritual achievement, self-control, foresight, thrift, the practice of the common virtues. No breaking out of the outer bonds can alone free the spiritual slave. No one could hear him with an open mind, however, and fail to realize that his message was equally applicable to the white race. No one could fail to realize that he saw the weakness of his white neighbors and felt the bitterness of the political and social restrictions enforced by the whites. Booker T. Washington was, however, always more than a Negro—nobly human within his race—and because of this, the simple people of his own race, the honest-hearted of both races, heard and followed. He had many great human qualities of leadership, of organizing capacity, of oratorical power, and of imagination. But his contribution is richer because of gifts peculiar to his people. That rare humor, the exquisite sense of another's feeling that is the basis of social power, rich vocabulary, high emotional appeal! American life would be so enormously enriched if we thought in terms of what colored people can do instead of what they must be prevented from trying to do! And so his contribution to the thinking of the white South has not always been clear. Though the least thoughtful realized that he was not a "common Nigger" to be called "Booker," they did not always arrive at the point of recognizing the dignity of the man by calling him "mister;" but they could find a middle path by calling him "professor." For thousands of white persons that short step is the first advance in the direction of freeing their own spirits. For, of course, the race or caste feeling is a band tight about the spirits of the white South, to many of whom Booker T. Washington gave the first glimmering sense of their own bondage. For these, his service is incalculable, one never to be measured, and to be recognized only gradually and by relatively few. And yet, as the nation could not live half bond and half free in the days of political slavery, so in the days to come the spiritual bonds of prejudice are to be broken from the white South, as those to which he called attention are to be stricken from the black South. Only when both are removed will either be wholly free.—Sophonisba P. Breckinridge in the Survey. There are about 427 Negro schools in the United States, other than elementary public schools and public high schools, or those in any sense under government and state control. Of these, 57 are put down as colleges and universities. All but three of the fifty-seven are avowedly denominational. Of the 16 institutions for Negro women only all but three are accredited to some denomination. Of the 354 normal, industrial and private schools all but 80 are reported as denominational. The first president born in the United States of America after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of national unity was Martin Van Buren, who was born in the state of New York in 1782. not be amiss to refer to the agitation of a few years ago, begun by loyal American Negroes, for participation in the National Guard service of the country. I submit that no just reason may be advanced why there should not be in every state of this Union colored regiments or battalions connected with the National Guard system. To such a program the rank and file of American Negroes would, ignoring past rebuffs, unconditionally subscribe.

Members Will Study Conditions in Southern Fields and Again Hold Meetings at State House. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The President's Colorado coal commission, composed of Seth Low, Charles W. Mills and Patrick Gilday, discussed conditions in the state coal camps with local coal operators. The commission asked questions concerning working conditions in the mines, accidents, anticipated increases in business and other phases of the industry affecting labor. It is reported the commission will make an extensive study of conditions in the southern Colorado coal fields; hold informal meetings in the state house and then go to Routt county to visit coal camps, and then hold further hearings at the state house. The commission met in the governor's office to hear J. F. Welborn of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company explain the company's industrial representation plan, submitted recently to its employés. Mr. Welborn explained the company expended in the last year $57,205 in removing objectable buildings and erecting model structures; $15,295 in fencing employés' homes, and $22,971 in constructing club and bath houses. In addition, $24,000 is to be spent in completing club houses. He announced also the company had commenced the construction of emergency hospitals in its coal camps. Two of these, one at Primero, Colo., and another at Sunrise, Wyo., are being built. Mr. Welborn's statement contained in detail a summary of the industrial representation plan, and he declared the system in effect in the coal camps included features suggested by the Colorado coal commission, as well as a substantial acceptance of findings by the anthracite strike commission, suggested by President Wilson. He said the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company desired to co-operate with the commission, and invited the commissioners to visit each camp, iron mine, lime quarry and steel plants. The company, he said, willingly would furnish data on employment, living and working conditions of employees. 7,291 Corporations Operate in State. There were 7,291 corporations in business in Colorado in 1915 as shown by records of license taxes paid in the office of Secretary of State Ramer. That is an increase of 1,044 corporations more than those paying license taxes in 1914. The revenue in the flat tax department from the license fees in 1915 was $44,567.95 and in 1914 it was $39,897.69. Two reasons account for the increase—improvement in general business conditions and a change made by the secretary of state in handling flat taxes. Mr. Ramer's position is that persons and corporations doing business with his office should be treated as thoughtfully and carefully as if his office was purely a business one. Thus, he has instituted a system of notifying corporations that their taxes are due, giving amounts and sending blank annual reports required. Under the law, the secretary of state is not required to notify the corporations and no notice has been given them heretofore. The result was many companies overlooked the requirements. Through the new system all corporations at slight expense are reminded of the requirements and many, which otherwise would forget, quickly forward their reports and fees. Want Depot at Hot Springs. The State Public Utilities Commission had a hearing on the application of citizens of Saguache to compel the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company to establish a station and maintain an agent at Hot Springs, a point on the Denver & Rio Grande, fourteen and a half miles from Saguache which is an inland town and the county seat of Saguache county. The nearest railroad point to Saguache now is Moffat. New Course on Citizenship. Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, announced that a plan for special courses of instruction in citizenship for children of foreign birth is to be put into effect in connection with the work of Paul Lee Ellerbe, chief naturalization examiner of the United States government for this district. Denver Fire Losses Cut. Fire losses in Denver in 1915 were approximately half those in 1914. The losses in 1915 amounted to $150,000, as against $296,297 in 1914. There were 1,050 alarms in 1915, and 1,202 in 1914. Gov. Carlson's New Year Reception. Church services, receptions and open house were held all day Jan. 1 in Denver in observance of the new year. At the Capitol building, Gov. George A. Carlson, members of the Supreme Court, state officials and officers of the Colorado National guard received visitors. The reception took rank with the elaborate ones of the day, and was one of the most successful held at the State house in years. More than 500 citizens called to wish the governor a successful new year. ENGLAND FACES REVOLT OF IRISH IRELAND IS EXEMPT UNDER BILL FOR FORCED SERVICE AND ULSTER PROTESTS. CONSCRIPTION CAUSE CARSON'S DELEGATES WOULD DRIVE IRISH INTO RANKS DESPITE PROTEST. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Jan. 6.—England faces the greatest crisis since the opening of the war. The introduction of the compulsory service bill has brought a storm about the heads of the Cabinet members. Added to the complications in England comes the danger of a revival of the troubles in Ireland. Ireland has been exempted from compulsory service under the bill, and John Redmond, Irish nationalist leader, has declared he will not support any measure that savors of conscription. On the other hand, the Ulster delegates in Parliament have demanded that Ireland be included in the measure. Nationalist leaders point out that the sections of Ireland outside of Ulster influence have sent five men to war where Ulster has sent one. They regard the action of the Ulster delegates as a deliberate challenge to the rest of the Irish people. The Ulster members have adopted a resolution, framed by Sir Edward Carson, denouncing the proposal to omit Ireland as "an insult and humiliation to the loyal and patriotic population and the abandonment of the people of equality of sacrifice in time of war on the part of His Majesty's subjects in the United Kingdom. Speaking on the measure, John Redmond said: "It is with the greatest regret that I have to announce that my party cannot support the bill. Ireland regards this as her war, and she will stop at no sacrifice to bring it to a speedy and successful issue. Nobody, however, has shown that this bill is necessary for this purpose, Premier Asquith himself having declared it was needed to fulfill a certain pledge which he had given. I believe we have, today, more soldiers than we can train, equip and provide with officers." Sir John Simon, whose resignation as home secretary was announced, made a speech in the House of Commons, in which, after expressing regret that he had found it necessary to sever his relations with Premier Asquith, he pleaded for rejection of the compulsory service bill. Premier Asquith explained that the bill provided that unmarried men or widowers without dependent children who were between the ages of 18 and 41 and had no ground for exemption in enlisting under the bill, were liable for service, and should be deemed to have done their duty to state just as though they had attested under the Derby plan. They would be deemed as having enlisted for the period of the war. May Appoint Taft Supreme Judge. Washington, — Former President Taft was frequently mentioned by both Republicans and Democrats as a possible selection of President Wilson for the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Lamar. BRITISH SEIZE PAPEN PAPERS. Officials Strip Attache of Documents as He Stops at Falmouth. London.—Capt. Franz von Papen, the recalled German military attache at Washington, telegraphed from Falmouth, where he arrived on the Noordam, to the American embassy here, asking it to communicate with the German ambassador in Washington to protest to the State Department because the British authorities, he declared, opened his private papers at Falmouth. Capt. von Papen in his message claimed that personal letters and bank books of his were opened and that some of these were retained by the authorities. The British authorities who seized Capt. von Papen's correspondence at Falmouth are not worried by possible protests, as his safe conduct embraced only the person of the German military attache. Capt, von Papen did not carry any papers or correspondence from the German embassy at Washington, but he had a large number of letters from individuals for delivery in Germany.

While the district attorney was busy in court the police were hauling away liquors from the drug store.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. The average Negro in this state is a much better citizen this year, so far, than he was last. This is due in a great measure to the influence exerted by The Colorado Statesman. In nearly every home one sees one or more Negro papers and other periodicals of high-class order, which is evidence of a material advancement along proper lines. Even the big Negro is now being hammered into line. The next decade will bring about such a reform and appreciation of Negro enterprises as will hardly fall short of universality. While there is yet much to be achieved along this line, favorable comment is due the already business strokes in the direction thus taken. A WARNING TO LAWYERS. One of the judges of the District Court in the trial of a divorce suit recently, remarked that information had reached him that some of the men of the legal profession were inducing members of families to institute divorce proceedings in order that they may obtain fees, and this being opposed to the ethics of the profession, if any such case be brought before him he would deal with it to the full extent of the law. This is something new on the boards for 1916. We have heard of lawyers taking cases on behalf of clients who are unable to pay and work on the results for their fees, but to be instrumental in the cause of the trouble is surely horrifying. The public ought to be on the look out for this kind of wage-earners. DENVER'S NEW POST OFFICE. Rising majestically like one of the buildings of ancient Greece the Federal building covers the block from Eighteenth street to Nineteenth street between Stout and Champa streets, and so attractive in its mantle of white that one cannot help stopping and admiring the beautiful structure. After five years of erection, the people of Denver, who have been more fortunate than other cities in having their building completed in so short a time, can congratulate themselves on being so highly favored by the federal authorities in their presentation to our city of one of the most magnificent and up-to-date buildings in the country. All business carried on at the old building is transferred to the new, which opened this week, and Postmaster Stapleton and his efficient corps of workers are doing their best to facilitate the public in the delivery and dispatch of mails. There is no doubt that Denver has shown remarkable progress and made rapid strides in this and other features. HON. SETH LOW ADDRESSES COLORED AUDIENCE. Before a large audience at Shorter church last Sunday afternoon Hon. Seth Low, ex-Mayor of New York, former president of Columbia University and now chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute, delivered a most interesting address on the late Booker T. Washington and his work at Tuskegee. He was listened to with rapt attention as he convinced his hearers of the great work accomplished by our dead leader, and earnestly requested that every one take special interest in the Endowment Fund that is being started in memory of Dr. Washington and the perpetuation of the Institute. Our impressions of the Hon. Seth Low make us realize that the Negro has a friend whose delight is in doing all he can to help to raise the race to self-respecting position in this country and help to win the recognition which we justly deserve. We are thankful to have such Americans who have not forgotten the fact of "the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." May the All-Seeing Providence provide us with more characters as Mr. Low in our great Republic, as it will be a helping hand in staying the wicked and cruel results of prejudice and oppression which have been ours for a number of years. PROHIBITION AND ITS EFFECT. Denver looked a bit strange Monday last when the majority of the saloon premises were being deprived of their fixtures, etc., in accordance with the prohibition law, but another feature presented itself also. Fixtures were going out and fixtures coming in—the various places being transformed into cafes, restaurants, pool rooms and other places of business. The former wine merchants and saloonkeepers express themselves willing to obey the law and to see that it is carried out to its full extent, and setting this example while they are the victims of loss of trade, an inspiration is given every citizen to help the authorities to enforce the law. The effect of the prohibition law is beginning to be seen, as those persons who were immoderate in the liquid habit and who many a time would interfere with the peace and order of our community, being detrimental to our progress, will of necessity leave for other parts of the country where their appetites can be satiated. Our drug stores and physicians, also our churches, and our home consumption have a margin to play in. Let us hope that they will not abuse this privilege. ORGANIZATIONS AND ORGANIZERS No one who experiences the good results from organizations that have for their purport the promotion of the welfare of a race, people or nation would do otherwise than lend their best efforts for the maintenance of such organizations and offer the usual welcome to others about to start whose interests are identical. But inasmuch as we are charitable in our entertainment of them, we cannot overlook certain facts which cause many to be short-lived and sometimes become stumbling-blocks in the way of others, thereby impeding their intention and work and eventually increasing the expenditure of time and labor in the achievement of success. We know organizations among our own people that can be classified in the "mushroom" order, as they come into existence for sinister purposes, and if not successful in their endeavors, the attack first launched is generally repulsed as they quickly cool down, their ardor having ceased. This is particularly noticeable In Politics. More organizations are born when this issue called "politics" comes around in the form of election campaigns and elections than one would really dream of, and if you would hesitate to believe, you only have to consult the various candidates for election or the different political parties who are continually approached by these convenient agencies for carrying out selfish motives, and get the proof. How can such organizations expect to have much duration of existence when their leaders are really not representative? To represent others one should insure that confidence of the public that garrisons him or her to withstand the challenge that necessarily attack leadership, and if this is lacking, the inevitable is sure to follow. In reviewing our position in The Business World We face the same conditions. People enter business as they do in politics, without the qualifications for business, and when success seems to be a long way off they complain, throwing the burden of failure on either their racial misfortune or their natural appearance. Every business man or woman who has undergone the necessary training prepares for the storm before the calm, the rocky ledge, the boulders that obstruct the path that leads to success; and with that preparation endures the pain, makes the sacrifice, acquires the wisdom, clings tenaciously to the thought that sooner or later the goal of success will be reached—it being obvious that their training compels perseverance in the line they follow. The Caution. We should then be careful in our estimate of those who are coming forward as organizers and leaders in our City of Denver, especially those who have a penchant for organizing and leading for the purpose of successfully accomplishing their own ends, unmindful of their fellow-men; and those of us who have been thru the mill and been ground by some of these would be organizers and leaders, knowing the kind of reception to offer them, advise not to take them seriously. "Beware of the false prophets, lest ye, etc." College Training of Army Officers By Dr. James Avery, St. Louis, Mo. It is an old adage that "no one can properly control others who cannot first control himself." This is one of the verities that cannot be too often driven into the minds of young men, particularly the young man at college. This is brought forcibly to mind now, when the whole country is deeply interested in the question of national defense. I have always been strong for preparedness, and this movement now should have the support of every patriotic American, and I assume that all Americans are patriotic. The great problem is where to begin in making provision for instructing the young men, who in the event of war would be called upon to officer our soldiers. It is my judgment that the colleges—not only the state colleges known as land-grant colleges, but the great institutions of the East and West—offer the solution. It is at the college where military instruction is a part of the regular course that discipline becomes a part of every young man's teaching. Every young man in college looks forward to controlling others, but he cannot do so unless he himself has been and can be controlled. The young officer, to have power to control others, must himself first learn to obey. The military organization in a large college offers an ideal method of giving just exactly that education. A young man who cannot develop leadership in a military organization is one whose success in life is uncertain. Every company captain must study his men, and it is in this study that character is developed. A soldier is taught a very simple but a very severe code of behavior. He must tell the truth and hate a lie. He must enforce respect for his own rights and must show equal respect for the rights of others. As he wears the uniform of his organization, he must be a gentleman, first, last and all the time, or he will disgrace his friends as well as himself. He must love his country and serve it with a single mind, even to death. That certainly is not a hard platform for a young college man to learn. Use of Tobacco Among Children By G. W. WHITTEN, Washington, D. C. That the use of tobacco among children, some of them of very tender ages, is more extensive than is generally known has been developed by a survey recently made by the United States public health service. The study was of school children in a city the name of which the service is not willing, for obvious reasons, to disclose. But the medical experts who gathered the data feel that they are none the less valuable because the geographical location is not advertised. Answers as to the use of tobacco were obtained in all from 2,215 pupils between the ages of four and three-quarters and nineteen and three-quarters years. Of these nearly one hundred, or 4.2 per cent, admitted the use of tobacco in some form. Of the 1,043 boys, 87 admitted the use of tobacco, while of the 1,172 girls only six admitted such use. It is believed by the investigators, however, that the admitted child users of tobacco do not complete the list, and that there were probably numerous secret users. In practically all cases the answers of the children were known to the parents, so that the list secured represents the number of children making use of the weed with parental consent. Most of the boys admitting the use of tobacco were smokers, while all of the girls confessing its use were "dippers" of snuff. A six-year-old boy was found who smoked, while the youngest chewer was eight and the youngest dipper nine. It developed, however, that one boy began to smoke and two girls began to dip at three years of age. Something of the magnitude of the problem of combating the use of tobacco among children was brought out when the investigators found that one of the little girls was led by her parents to begin dipping snuff when three years old on the advice of the family physician, who declared that the habit would preserve her health. Suitable Rewards for Our Soldiers By W. M. Kinniburgh, Forest Park, Ill. It would be a good idea if the government would give each soldier and sailor a piece of land after he has served a term in the army or navy. Then he could say he was defending his country or land. There is an abundance of land. The government is giving it away to homesteaders; why not to men who have served their country for it? And I think it would be an inducement to get many of the best and ablest men in the country to enlist. I know a few men who served in the navy during the Spanish war. When their time expired they were out of a job and soon were down and out. If they had had a piece of land to work it would have kept them profitably employed. The homesteader makes a small deposit on a claim and he gets it and works on it a few years and improves on it, gets his deed, and nothing more is required from his. The recruit who has served a term for his country and risked his life has no deed on land, but a lot of experience which he does not care to go through again for the same price. Man May Live Life Magnificent By DR. JOHN GARDNER, Chicago There is a soberness of life found in circumstance. This sorberness very often amounts to cruelty. We all must recognize that, think as we will about life, it is like a great desert whereon the sandstorms of circumstance rush in upon us, binding and choking. Who always has come to the aid of humanity in great crises, national or individual? Good men! Great men—in whom others have always found strength in their desert or shelter in their watery valleys. Christ bore the sorrows of the world—"man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"—yet he was a man of smiles. Worry, like all other depressing emotions, is a poison. It is a short circuit that burns out the mental batteries and destroys the power for useful activity. It is not merely a habit; it is a real disease; it is not merely the surrender of the will to morbid fancies or imaginary causes of anxiety—it is an actual disease, a real physical state, as real as is indigestion, rheumatism or any other bodily disease. In other words, worry is not mere mind or soul malady, as commonly conceived, but a bodily disease. College Training of Army Officers By Dr. James Avery, St. Louis, Mo.

At the close of his speech there was a rush on the part of his audience to grasp ‘his hand and express their very great approval of his message. At the evening hour our choir ren- ages to great advantage a cantata, ‘The Christmas King,” before a splen- did crowd. Through the courtesy of Dr. R. A. Randolph, the members of the choir were supplied with fragrant bouquets of carnations. This token of appreciation seemed to have greatly inspired the singers and the verdict of the audience was the latter rendi- tion was better than the former.

THE GARDEN Ferns Make Attractive Winter Decorations. BEST WAY TO WINTER GERANIUMS The question is asked, "How can geraniums be wintered in the cellar?" in two ways: First, in pots. Second, by hanging them up by the heels, so to speak. Neither way is absolutely sure to bring them through in good condition. But either way may prove successful, therefore it is advisable to try both if one has fine varieties he would like to save for next summer. If one fails the other may prove successful. To winter them in pots the plants should be crowded into as small pots as will contain them, and then the tops should be cut away so that all that remains of the summer's growth is a few stubs at the base of the plant. Do not try to encourage any growth after potting. Set them away in a cool but frost-proof place and keep them there as long as it is safe to do so. Then put them in a cool cellar. The soil in the pots should be quite dry when they go into cold storage, and it should be kept in that condition, as nearly as possible, all through the winter. Not really dry, of course, but with only a hint of moisture in it—so little, indeed, that it would seem dry when compared with ordinary soils. The aim is to keep the plants as nearly dormant as possible, and this cannot be done if they are moist at the roots. Heat also encourages growth, and the absence of it has a tendency to keep the plants at a standstill. Treated as advised above, it is possible to bring geraniums through the winter in such a condition that they begin to grow as soon as brought to the light and warmth of the sitting-room after being watered. The necessary conditions, you will observe, are dryness of soil and a low temperature. It is less work to make the plants free from the soil they have grown in during the summer and simply hang up the mass of roots in the cellar. This should not be done immediately after lifting the plants, however. This method makes it necessary for us to leave them in the ground as long as possible, well up to cold weather, in fact, for if they were to go into the cellar while the temperature was high, growth would be almost sure to begin. Therefore the plants must be left in the ground and protected from frost until about the first of November, if possible. Then lift them on a warm frost from penetrating the soil, where the bulbs are, but it will prevent the sun from thawing it out. In other words, the soil once frozen will remain in that condition. It is the alternation of freezing and thawing which does the damage, not the freezing, as many persons think. Alternations of these conditions rupture the tissues of the plants. Let the ground become frozen, and stay so, and the bulbs will not be in jured by heaving of the soil. If they freeze and thaw and freeze and thaw again, and this process is kept up, as it is likely to be in an unprotected bed, they are torn loose from their tender roots and great harm is done. Leaves, if you can get enough of them, make an excellent covering for the bulbs. SOME HARDY EVERGREENS In winter evergreen trees and shrubs give warmth, and color, to the garden, which cannot be obtained in any other way. Some criticize the growing of laurels, but they grow rapidly, and soon n Winter Evergreens Give Warmth to the Home Grounds. day and spread the roots out in the sunshine, after first cutting away all the top. Cover well at night and expose them next day if the weather is favorable. Do not put them in the cellar until all the soil adhering to the roots has become so dry it can easily be shaken off. Then tie a string to each plant and suspend it about midway between floor and ceiling. Do not place them on the floor, for there it is likely to be too damp, nor close to the ceiling, for there it is likely to be too dry. While the geranium does not have a tuberous root, like the dahlia, it has a fleshy root which enables it to store up enough moisture to supply its needs for a long period. If one has a room in the house where plants can be kept safely I would advise taking cuttings from each choice variety early in the fall. Root these in sand and put them into small pots as soon as the cuttings begin to grow. This gives you a third method of keeping desirable plants over winter and will generally prove successful when the other two fail. Those who live in the vicinity of a greenhouse can get their plants stored there at little expense and I would advise this whenever possible. But, lacking this facility, don't fall to try the methods recommended above if you have choice varieties that you do not feel sure of being able to duplicate next season. When one gets a fine variety it's worth while to hang on to it. PROTECTING BULBS The bulb bed ought to be covered with six or eight inches of coarse manure or hay. This will not keep the frost from penetrating the soil, where the bulbs are, but it will prevent the sun from thawing it out. In other words, the soil once frozen will remain in that condition. It is the alternation of freezing and thawing which does the damage, not the freezing, as many persons think. Alternations of these conditions rupture the tissues of the plants. Let the ground become frozen, and stay so, and the bulbs will not be injured by heaving of the soil. If they freeze and thaw and freeze and thaw again, and this process is kept up, as it is likely to be in an unprotected bed, they are torn loose from their tender roots and great harm is done. Leaves, if you can get enough of them, make an excellent covering for the bulbs. create shelter and warmth, and the dark-green foliage tends to make a place cheerful. The best laurels are Rotundifolius (round leaved) and Latifolia. These are hardier than the common laurel, which suffers in very extreme climates. GETTING A START By NATHANIEL C. FOWLER, Jr. The mountain top is small. There is hardly room enough there for the few who reach its height; and, unless those who do keep a firm foothold, they may be pushed off and dashed to pieces. The way to the mountain top is steep and rugged, the rocks are slippery, and the path is full of landslides. The valley is broad and fertile, and there is room enough there for planting and for harvesting. The ordinary man can earn his living in the valley; the extraordinary man may be able to attach himself to the mountain top. I am not asking you, young man, not to travel, upward, nor am I suggesting that you forever remain on the plains; but I am attempting to picture the dangers of steep climbing, and the liability of not being able to find a foothold at the top. Better, far better, be a good tiller of the soil down in the green valley than starve among the mountain's rocks. In these days of strenuous business, of liberal education, and of opportunity, the old adage that "there is always room at the top" is not as true as it used to be, for, even though there may be room at the very top, one must take fearful changes in climbing, and he will meet strenuous men en route, ready and anxious to win, not only by advancing themselves, but by pushing others down. The tendency to go beyond one's ability, to occupy positions unnatural and difficult to hold, is responsible for many a failure, and has ruined many men who would have been successful had they been contented and industrious, with good prospect of prosperity. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff than that which drives a man out of himself into unknown regions, or into places too high for him to gain a foothold, a footing which, even if he does gain it, he may be unable to keep. It is your duty to do your best, to make the most of yourself, to encourage rather than to cramp ambition, to use common sense in the making of yourself, that brand of good sense which does not allow you to stay below your level and which will prevent you from striving to go beyond it. Thousands of men move from where they are, dissatisfied and disgruntled, and enter new and unknown fields, when, if they had remained at home, making the best of their opportunities, they would have been worth more to themselves and to the world. Where you are, unless it is below the surface, may be the best place in which for you to work and to stay. Certainly, you should not allow yourself to leave your base of operations until you are sure that where you are is not the place for you to be in, and until you know of a location within the probable scope of your capacity. Beware of the top, unless there is a safe road leading to it. Fighters Who Never See a Battle. During a sea fight the engine-room men tend the great engines of a battle ship with all the care that they would bestow upon the same delicate yet mighty mechanism in time of peace, roaming listlessly, yet with a definite purpose, around the engine room with oil cans in hand, bestowing drops of lubricant here and there as required. Theirs and the stokers' is almost—not quite—the hardest part of the whole grim drama of a naval battle, for they are absolutely cut off from the fight, and are only cognizant of it by the quivering of their ship as the great turrets over their heads fire, or as the enemy's shells thud against the armor, or when some stray shot finds its way through the stell wall and the bunkers to the boilers. Such an event blends a whole stakehold in one frenzied orgy of death—death by exploding shell and scattering fragments of steel; death by awful wounds from flying, burning coals, or death by scalding, hissing, blinding steam as the water tubes burst all around them. Boy Critics. For many years the boys of Trinity college, Dublin, made and unmade the reputation of operatic stars. They always sat in the highest gallery, and were recognized as the real critics of an opera. "I remember," says Barton McGuckin, the well-known English tenor, "there was a fellow. Thomasi or some such name, whose career was blasted by a witty gallery boy, Thomasi was anything but graceful. He had but one gesture, which consisted in bringing first one, then the other hand to his heart and letting it fly back straight before him. It was very much like the sort of motion a man would make in deep water. He sang an italic love song, working his arms as described. When he finished a voice from the gallery broke the silence: "Ah, Misther Toomasi, you ain't nooch of a singer, but I'll wager ye'd make a foine swimmer." The audience screamed with delight. Thomasi had to leave the stage. Do You Know That- SOCIETY. "I am not in society this winter," says a young society woman. "I am too busy to go into society," remarks a young man. What is "society" anyway, the society about which the foregoing was spoken? Really, I don't know, and the three big dictionaryes refuse to enlighten me. At a guess, I should say that probably the young people quoted refer to the collection of persons they meet when they go out, when they are away from home, at balls, parties, and other invitation functions, and not necessarily to the individuals whom they visit. Perhaps they are unfortunate enough to belong to some alleged exclusive form or society, or to some clique or collection of conceived people, who, because they don't know where they stand, assume to stand for something about which they know nothing. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands, of young people have injured their presents and discounted their futures by going into what they call "society." Yes, many men and women have sacrificed their souls upon the altar of "society." Young people should have friends, they should not be bookworms or room hermits. They should intermingle, they should exchange experiences, play games of conversation, and other games; but all this does not mean "going into society," for "society" is commonly understood as simply another word for excess, with or without the wincup. It is a significant fact that our great merchant princes, our men of prodigious intellect, our famous discoverers and scientists, our men of mark in every walk of life, care more for sociability than for society, and not one in a hundred of them is in "society." They live natural lives, make friends among their kind, and enjoy social intercourse. They don't "care a fig" whether Mrs. Tone invites them to her most exclusive ball, or whether Mr. Highbrow includes them in his list of dinner guests. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Many men of wealth, and more men who haven't any, sacrifice the vitality of life to get into "society," and when they get in they spend half of their time keeping in. When they become old enough to know better, they go out into Nature's out-of-doors, breathe the fresh air, and mentally, and sometimes physically, kick themselves for the folly of their silly ambition. Don't worry about finding your "society" level. Your level will come to you, and any level you try to reach, which is either above or below your proper sphere, is disastrous.

A bare-headed woman with a faded and ragged dress solicited alms the other evening of a gentleman who was crossing the City park. He came to a halt and asked: "Is it for drink?" "No, sir; it's for food." "But I don't know how you live. I have to practice economy in order to have money in my pocket. You may be extravagant, for all I know. How much money have you spent today?" "Well, sir, I've spent seven cents—that will run five of us on cold potatoes so far; and if I can get three more we'll top off with bread and water before going to bed. Might leave out the bread if I can find a bit of tar to thicken the water and deceive the children. Can you draw it any finer than that, sir?"

Hannah Snell was born at Worcester, England, on April 23, 1727, the daughter of a hosier. In order to seek her husband who had abandoned her, in 1745 she donned man's attire and enlisted as a soldier in Guise's regiment of foot, but soon deserted, and shipped on board the sloop Swallow, under her brother-in-law's name of James Gray. She was wounded in the siege of Pondicherry, but succeeded in extracting the bullet without calling in a surgeon. When recovered she served before the mast on the Tartar and Eltham, but when paid off she resumed woman's costume. Her adventures were published under the title of "The Female Soldier," in 1750, and she afterwards gave exhibitions in military uniform in London. She died insane in Bethlehem hospital London, on February 8, 1792.

DONIPHAN, General Agent. 1721 Marion St. 1 When Thoughts Turn to Ribbons Now is the demi-season of our discontent—as the Poet did not say—when there is nothing new in blouses for winter wear and nothing certain about those for spring. But she who finds herself compelled to add to her supply may be quite certain of one thing, and that is that her new blouses are still to be of sheer materials. With the incoming of each season for at least three, blouses have been growing more and more diaphanous. It is difficult now to see how they can become more airy, but impossible to believe that they will become less so. Georgette crepe, chiffon, and other sheer fabrics, not forgetting to count in laces, are to be relied upon for the present, and uncertainty will soon be a thing of the past. Among models now displayed color is an element to be recokoned with. Blouses of wash silks, including crepe and chiffon, are shown in light colors. When Thoughts Only Christmastime reveals just how many fascinating feminine belongings are brought to the light of day, and the delight of everybody, when thoughts turn to ribbons. It seems that women love to work with them and are inspired to fashion for themselves and for their homes and their friends all sorts of alluringly pretty things. Only three of the innumerable novelties made of ribbon for the holiday season are pictured here. Ribbon bags, as usual, held first place and ranged from the tiny flowerlike sachet to the capacious and splendid opera bag. A pretty "vanity" bag is shown here, made of a light blue printed ribbon with a small rose and foliage design scattered over its surface. It is lined with plain satin in pink and is made of four lengths of ribbons. These lengths are rounded at one end and only the straight edges are sewed together. The bottom of the bag is made of a little oblong mirror, incased in the pink satin, with the mirror side out. Within the bag are a little powder box and puff and any other of the complexion aids which are required. The bag is closed by drawstrings of narrow satin ribbon finished with small bows at each side. When the opening is drawn up the rounded ends of ribbon have the appearance of flower petals and the top becomes a blossom. A small circular pincushion is shown below the bag, made by shirring plain satin ribbon over fine wires to cover a small circular foundation. It is suspended by a narrow ribbon hanger and finished with little ro- with pink, flesh, maize, and gray leading, and rose color well liked. Two-color combinations are popular, especially where gray is one of them. The employment of two fabrics in the body of one blouse makes opportunity for color contrast, and there are many blouses of chiffon joined to taffeta or crepe or other material by hemstitching. For traveling or general wear blouses of chiffon in the darker colors show overlays of ribbon or taffeta silk in the same color. Chiffon in plaids, like those in heavier silks, is very effectively combined with plain silk for utility blouses, and hems-stitching is an ever-present means of decorative sewing, when they are joined. A blouse of flesh-colored crepe is shown in the picture, having small figures embroidered at each side of the front. Turn to Ribbons settes. Black pins with round heads add to its decoration, and three small chiffon roses are grouped at the center. They may be scented. A pretty boudouf cap of plain wide satin ribbon and a fine net lace is shaped to the head by shirrings over cord. It is trimmed with a crushed band of the ribbon with bows at the front and buckles covered with little ribbon roses in several colors. At the back loops and ends of narrow satin ribbon match the cap in shade. Julia Bottomley Old Styles in Vogue. Just at this moment we are reveling in styles of days gone by, and happily there seems to be no attempt to revive the bizarre attire once affected by the leaders of fashion. The predominance of old-time styles is most obvious where dress accessories are concerned. Neckwear, gloves, veils, handkerchiefs, lingerie and footwear all possess the alluring charm of the days of romance. "From collars to pantalettes," fashion clothes us in the dainty garments of an age gone by. Good Idea for Housewives. Turn the cold water into the sink while draining odorous vegetables or drain into a pan of cold water. This condenses the steam which otherwise would rise and fill the room (and in many cases the house) with the strong odor. It also lessens the danger of being burned.—Woman's Home Companion. --- RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
