THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. THE CALL IS TO THE NEGROES ALSO Empire Building Needs Everyone's Help VOL. XV. From a waste country known as the Great American Desert to smiling fertile Colorado upon which nature has showered her gifts of mineral wealth and the produce of husbandry is a transition that was unthought of even in the imagination of our fore parents In a lesser degree the change from surface scraping to deep mining from desultory crops to scientific irrigation, seems almost unreal. This gradual growth has been wrought by toil and sacrifice. It has cost blood and treasure and the Negroes have played a small part in it, and have shared in the fruits. Now that the possibilities of our state and section are better realized and the various pursuits upon which we depend have been so far mastered as to insure returns equal and possibly exceeding those received in other parts of our own county, the call is to all citizens to help develop our resources. To the Negro this call means as much and more than to any class of citizens. Of capital we have little but of workers have a larger proportion than the white race. We may not be able to carry out great immigration projects but we can, if we only will, buy small farms and thereby contribute our share to the state's greatness and at the same time to our own prosperity. We have been mere camp followers in the mining industry. Land can be homesteaded and be purchased at prices as low as $2 per acre. Let us DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905 take warning from our past. Let us leave off grumbling at the barriers raised against us, when a large part of them are of our own making. If white men must make the west, they should enjoy it. We are ready to endanger health in the cities, to be in want there, then why not make these sacrifices where it means the making of a home, where it will enroll us among the progressive citizens and bring honor as well as profit? RACE NOTES Prof. William H. H. Hart, the attorney of the District of Columbia, whom some people call a Negro and some few designate him as a halfbreed Indian has now made himself "famous" by marrying and directing the clerk to record him as being white although he is deeply colored. Whether or not he married a white lady, deponent sayeth not. It will matter little to the world one way or the other. Prof. Hart's mother should know what he is and if he secured the information from her, all of the residents of this universe should be satisfied. For fifteen years or more, he has been with and of us, and now we have lost him. "Oh, the pity of it!"—Planet. Father Thomas McCormick, a member of St. Joseph's Society died at San Antonio, Texas, recently and sent the following request to the Superior of the Order: State Historian & Natural History Society TESM WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND DO, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905 THE NEGRO eds Everye "Bury me in a plain coffin in the colored Catholic cemetery, among the people for whom I have labored." THE WORLD'S HARVEST MONTHS. Except Two, Crops Are Being Gathered in Them All. Excepting the months of November and December, harvest is always going somewhere in the globe. In January reapers are busy in most of Chile, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. Harvest is in full swing throughout the East Indies in February and March. April sees the fields of Mexico, Persia and Syria being cut. The merry month of May is thus used in Morocco and Texas, California, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sicily, Greece and part of southern France reap in June. The greater part of the United States and France, Austria and southern Russia are stripped in July. August is the harvest month in England, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, the northeastern states of America and part of Russia and Canada. Scotland, Sweden and Norway, the northern midlands of Russia and the greater portion of Canada are glad to shear in September. And October beholds the reapers in the most northerly districts of Russia, Norway and Sweden gathering with endless trouble their scanty crops. GREAT MEN OF LOWLY BIRTH. Most of the great men of history were of lowly birth. Look over the list and see how little the "bornin'" had to do with results and achievements. Lord Wolsey was the son of a butcher, Columbus was the son of a weaver, Horace the son of a manumitted slave, Sir Richard Arkwright the son of a barber, Shakespeare the son of a wool stapler, Watt the son of a blockmaker, Virgil the son of a porter, Stephenson the son of a fireman at a colliery, Burns the son of a plowman, Franklin the son of a tallow chandler, Oliver Cromwell the son of a brewer, Aesop was a slave, Beaconsfield was a lawyer's clerk, Thomas Paine a staymaker, Defoe a hosier, son of a butcher; Demosthenes the son of a cutler, Ben Johnson was a bricklayer, Bunyan a traveling tinker, Edmund Kean was the son of a stage carpenter, Dickens a reporter and son of a reporter, Cervantes was a common soldier, Homer was a farmer's son and is said to have begged his bread. The list might be extended through columns.—Kansas City Star, Yet, somehow it is with a glimpse of quite another phase of the man that I prefer to close this account of a delightful day in Worcester. The incident happened as I was being driven to the station and it arose from my admiration of the public library Senator Hoar had pointed out to me. "The only time I was ever guilty of wire pulling," my host then remarked, "was when I so used my influence that Thucydides instead of Herodotus received honorable mention on that facade as the representative Greek historian. Why did I want to sorry that point? Oh, only because I always had an especial fondness for Thucydides." Was not that deliciously characteristic. Is there another man in American public life to-day who would pull wires for—Thucydides?—National Magazine. NO.34 When Hoar Pulled Wires. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

An excellent program has been arranged and a large crowd is expected. Mesdames Earl, Buckner and Tillman of the W. C. T. U. Society were representatives from that body to the white W. C. T. U. last Wednesday afternoon, at which time they rendered an interesting program. They received many congratulations and a cordial invitation was extended the ladies to come again. This is a step forward for our ladies in the estimation of the white sisters and we feel proud that we were permitted to send this representative committee among them. All ladies should feel an interest in the W. C. T. U. which is developing into a powerful agency for good among us. The rally at St. John's Church Sunday was a success about $150 being raised. There are several clubs yet to report and by that it is hoped that the amount will be greatly increased. Through the kindness of Rev. H. Franklin Bray, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, at Bessemer, Colo., Rev. DeClelland has been the recipient of a draft from him and one from THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. his congregation. Rev. Bray is now recovering his health after a serious affliction of several years standing and he knows how to sympathize with anafflicted brother. The Bishop also kindly remembered him. May God continue His blessings upon them. Bishop and Mrs. Grant who were the guests of Rey. and Mrs. Tillman during their stay in the city, were the recipients of several social affairs. Seldom does one see such exquisite decoration, such a wealth of snowy linen and all that one could desire to satisfy the appetite, as that which was witnessed at the home of Mrs. S. Pennington last Sunday when the charming hostess entertained in honor of Bishop and Mrs. Grant. Covers were laid for ten and those who enjoyed this spread were Bishop and Mrs. Grant, Rev and Mrs. Tillman, Rev. and Mrs. DeClelland, Prof. and Mrs. Jackson, Rev. Jordan Allen and E. P. Booze. Monday Rev. and Mrs. S. Rice entertained at dinner. Tuesday Prof. and Mrs. Jackson entertained at six o'clock tea. Mrs. Fannie Frank lin and Mrs. John Watson also entertained for them Tuesday. The rally at Payne Chapel last Sunday was a success. Bishop Grant delivered an excellent sermon both morning and evening and the power of the Holy Spirit was intense at both of these services. At 3 o'clock, Rev. Jordan Allen and several ministers from the city churches participated in a platform meeting which was conducted by the Bishop. The collection for the day was $500, Captain Gee's Club being in the lead. Never in the history of Payne Chapel has a more enthusiastic audience assembled than that which greeted Bishop Grant Monday evening when he delivered his famous lecture, "Problem Confronting the American People." Mr. E. P. Booze, in a few well chosen remarks presented Mayor Ira S. Harris and Congressman Franklin E. Brooks who welcomed the Bishop to our city. Rev. Tillman then introduced the speaker. In the course of his lecture, the Bishop dwelt extensively upon the need of education, both industrial and the high education, as one of the most serious problems we are forced to meet. He said, "That in this age no one has a right to be ignorant for the young are to take the place of the old who will soon be gone and they must qualify themselves that they be bet ter preachers, better teachers, better men and women than the older ones." He said, "That in order to solve the so-called Negro problem our people must inculcate into their lives the two beautiful attributes, self-help and independence, which will make them rise with pride to be the equal of any man in the community. If we do this and realize that the future of the race depends largely upon individual character in a hundred years from now the eighty-four nations of the earth will stand and admire the black man on the top-most round of civilization." After the lecture a reception was tendered the Bishop and wife by the Stewardess Board in the lecture room. AT A TURCOMAN WEDDING. Pecullar Ceremonies Used to Unite Two Loving Hearts. Contrary to the practice of many other Moslem countries, the people of Turkestan are ardent lovers before marriage; and the young people themselves inform their parents when they have formed an attachment. Female go-betweens are then employed to arrange the affair and discuss the marriage portion. The question always is, how many times nine sheep, cows, camels, horses or ducats the father of the bride is to receive for her. The price ranges from once to nine times nine. The future bridegroom also has to present a complete set of ornaments to the bride, including eight rings, a tiara, bracelet, earrings, nose- rings and neck ornaments. At the ceremony neither party appears in person, but both are represented by witnesses. After it is over, the bride- groom appears, but only approaches a few steps from the bride's door. After MRS.

GIRL HAS OSTRICH'S APPETITE. Coal, Paper, Toothpicks, String, and Match Boxes Part of Her Diet. Beatrice Cardwell, the 3-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert P. Cardwell of Mount Holly, N. J., has an ap- itite like an ostrich, although her sto. ch is not quite as strong as that of the bird. She has just recovered from a serious illness caused by eating a quantity of paper, some toothpicks, a piece of anthracite coal, and an empty match box. Before she was taken sick she would take a piece of coal from the scuttle whenever she could and suck and eat as much of it as possible. The child's fondness for paper is just as strong and she considers a piece of manila wrapping a choice morsel, chewing on it whenever she can get a chance. Recently her father found her chewing at something and on investigating pulled forth twenty-one feet of white string. HAD RED ANTS FOR SALE. Advertisement That Stirred the Wrath of a Denver Landlady. The apartment houses on Thirteenth and Stout streets are in a turmoil to-day, says the Denver Post, and it is all because of red ants. For some time the presence of the ants has been noticed in various of the tenements, and as their number increased and the efforts to suppress them became more strenuous and less effectual dire threats of what would be done have become frequent. The climax was reached when the head of one of the families iscovered a bedraggled red object in his soup, and he then and there said that the plague would end; that the locusts of Egypt were as nothing to these modern creatures of the pantry, and that he thought he could settle them. So the following advertisement was inserted in a newspaper: "Ten thousand ants for sale. Five cents per thousand. Call at 1329 Stout street." ge Dining Room.

A storm of very severe proportions began Saturday and for three days it snowed continually. The conditions, however, are very favorable for the ranges and stock and it is estimated that the moisture is worth several thousand dollars io the state. This week the Afro-American Women's Club was pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Ollie Redd. The discussion of King Lear proed very interesting. After the business of the meeting was concluded refreshments were served. The special features of the A. M. E. Sunday School this week are the Bible Question Box, Vocal Duet, by Mesdames Bell and Landor, Recitation by Unice Ashford, Address by Charles Lucas. Mrs. Lottie Carris has taken charge of the Metropolitan Hotel kitchen and under her ability in the culinary art the trade of that house bids fair to increase rapidly. Sammy Williams, one of our young men, met with a very serious accident last Saturday night and now lies in a critical condition at St. John's Hospital. He was riding on the vestibule of a passenger train going west and feel off sustaining a deep gash in his scalp. The accident was unobserved by any one and he remained where he fell all night. The exposure of the snow and cold froze both feet. Tuesday evening a social club composing the Young Smart Set, enjoyed a good time at the home of Miss Eva Hopkins. Music by a graphaphone, games and good things to eat caused the guests to remain until a late hour. Luther H. Craven is one of the men of the race who is constantly building up an already profitable business, as a shoemaker and also in repair work, he is far above the average competitor.

His Proposal. He was an ingenious man and she was an unsuspecting damsel. "Let us," he said, "pretend that you are Canada and I am the United States." "Oh, I don't like these geographical games," she replied. "They require so much thinking." "But this doesn't require any at all," he insisted. "How do you play it?" she asked. "Why, I simply annex you," he answered. "It's not such a bad game," she admitted after awhile. Miss M. COWDEN. Hair Dressing PARLORS. Shampooing, Cutting and Curling. All Hair Work made to order.

You may say that you have failed too often, that there is no use in trying, that it is impossible for you to succeed, and that you have failed too often even to attempt to get on your feet again. Nonsense! There is no failure for a man whose spirit is unconquered. No matter how late the hour, or how many and repeated his failures, success is still possible. The evolution of Scrooge, the miser, in the closing years of his life, from a hard, narrow, heartless money-grubber, whose soul was imprisoned in his shining heap of hoarded gold, to a generous, genial lover of his kind, is no mere myth of Dickens's brain. Time and again, in the history of our daily lives, chronicled in our newspapers, recorded in biographies, or exhibited before our eyes, we see men and women redeeming past failures, rising up out of the stupor of discouragement, and boldly turning face forward once more.—O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. DISH FOR A GOURMAND. Welsh Rabbit That Brings No Nightmare in Its Trail. A bachelor whose skill at getting up dainty supper dishes assures him plenty of company in the evenings is responsible for a substitute for the welsh rabbit that is free from nightmare. He covers lightly toasted bread with finely grated cheese, and instead of slipping it in the oven places it beneath the flame of the gas broiler until the cheese has been toasted a light brown. If a good cream cheese is used there is not the slightest suggestion of sogginess or greasiness, and even those to whom a rabbit means a night of troubled dreams may indulge in this with no fear of evil consequences. The trick lies in the granting of the cheese. Broken into bits it would melt into a pasty mass. Finely divided, each particle should be individually toasted before it has a chance to melt down, and in that state it is readily assimilated. The Knowledge That Pays. If you glance round at the work of some of our big men you will be surprised to see how many have made their reputation by doing one small thing, but doing it well. If a man gets to the front in the narrow subject the world credits him with knowledge of all the rest. It is, however, even easier to acquire a large knowledge than an advanced special knowledge of one narrow subject. The specialty must not be too narrow, either. It is often said that the pursuit of knowledge has a nobility of its own. But what knowledge? No knowledge is worth obtaining for its own or any other sake, unless it is or will probably be useful to man. James Swinburne, in Electrical Review. Remedies for Toothache. Toothache, that unwelcomed guest, is something to be dreaded. Until a dentist can be consulted and the exact cause of the disturbance located and professionally treated, it is an excellent thing to moisten the finger and after dipping it into some bicarbonate of soda, rub it on the gum around the sore tooth. It is also a relief to mix a teaspoonful of this bicarbonate of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. soda in nail a glass of warm water and rinse the mouth with some every little while, holding a little in the mouth for a few seconds so that it penetrates all the crevices. The soda being an alkali serves to neutralize the acids in the mouth, which are often the cause of toothache. What Russian Authors Earned. It is the custom for Russian writers of established reputation to sell their entire copyrights to the publishers more frequently than English authors do. Shortly before his death, Turgenleff disposed of the copyright of all his works to a publisher for £9,000. The different sums for which the productions of some of the best known Russian authors of the old school have been sold are given as follows by the informant. Those of Gogol were disposed of for £6,000; Puschkin's and Gontcharoff's each realized about £3,500, while Kryloff's fables brought about £1,400, and the entire copyrights of many well known writers have been sold for much smaller sums than that.—Bystander.

Name Occupation Address Fulsome Praise of Rev. Cole. The members and friends of Campbell A. M. E. Church turned out in full, although it was raining, to the Rev. D. D. Cole's forty-fifth birthday anniversary. He was born March 31, 1860 at Livingston, Ala., and has spent 15 years in regular itinerant work, holding the following charges in Mississippi: Rose Hill, Marion, Enterprise, Quitman, Okolona. In the State of Alabama: Pratt City, Bessemer Enon Ridge, Day's Gap. In Kansas: Valley Falls, Windfield, Colwell, Alma, Wabounca, Bonner Springs and Lawrence. In 1900 Rev. Cole joined the A. M. E. Church under Bishop Shaffer and served the following places: Holton, Horton, Troy, Elwood, Highland and White Cloud. In April, '03, Bishop Shaffer sent him to Salt Lake Utah. At the conference which met in this city Bishop Shaffer assigned him to Campbell A. M. E. Church. Bishop Grant seeing the worth of Rev. Cole sent him back the second year. Shortly after his return he called his congregation together and they decided to enlarge the edifice. They went to work and on December 25, 1904, an addition of 32 feet was made, making the entire building 64 feet long. It is heated by hot air furnaces. With a membership of 237, six class leaders, a well organized Board of Stewardesses, a fine set of Stewards and Trustees being noble hearted men who love the church, Campbell will be the coming church of the we t. The Sunday School is superintended by Wm. Bonner, whose eye is ever open to duty. J. W. Collier president of the Christian Endeavor is one whose heart is in his work. Miss Mamie Wilson, organist, has the patience of Job, always at her post. She never complains. The sexton, Mrs. Emina Wilson, takes great interest in keeping the church neat and clean. The choir of Campbell, since Rev. Cole has been in charge, has improved so that today it will measure with any choir in the city the only surplice one. The third quarter, even though it was a winter quarter, showed an increase in all departments. When Presiding Elder, Rev. Jordan Allen, said, "Campbell had her ups and downs," the Elder forgot that when he pastored this charge six years ago the Quarterly Conference Journal shows that Campbell had more downs than ups. It looked like the whole thing was down, and from what one of the members said to him in the last quarterly meeting he was down with it My God bless Rev. Cole and his work Rev. Cole is a preacher and a singer; also a money raiser. Whe hope when his time is out at Campbell Bishop Grant will send us another THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. man with grit and go like Rev. Cole. A FRIEND OF CAMPBELL FACTS ABOUT THE COINAGE. Director of the Mint Gives Information as to Old and New Issues. The director of the mint is called on to answer such a wide range of questions concerning the values of old and new coins and medals that he has found it necessary to issue circulars covering matters of this sort. It tells some interesting facts. It appears that the mint does not buy old coins or paper money except some rare colonial coins in fine condition, which are desired for the mint cabinet. Mutilated or uncurrent United States gold and silver coin is purchased as bullion. The mint has no pattern pieces for sale. The government pays no premium for the return of any of its coins or paper money. New coins cannot be struck until authorized by an act of congress. The mint supplies United States coins only and not of any past date. The $50 gold piece and the half-dollar and quarter-dollar pieces in gold were struck by private parties on the California coast during the 1849 period and not by the United States government. The coinage of the following coins ceased in the years named: Half and 1-cent, copper, in 1857; 1-cent, nickel, 1864; half-dime and 3 cents, silver, and 2 cents bronze, in 1873; 20 cents, silver, 1878; trade dollars, 1883; $1 and $3, gold, and 3 cents, nickel, 1889. The Columbian half-dollar was coined in 1893. The Lafayette dollar was struck in 1899, the date on the coin (1900) being that of the unveiling of the memorial. There are certain markings on every United States coin that enable the place of its coinage to be located. Those struck at the Philadelphia mint have no mint mark, but those struck at all other mints are distinguishe by a small letter on the reverse, near the bottom. These letters are: C for Charlotte, N. C., discontinued in 1861; CC for Carson City, Nev., discontinued in 1893; D for Dahlonega, Ga., discontinued in 1861; O for New Orleans and S for San Francisco. The coins of the United States now authorized by law are: In gold, double eagle, eagle, half eagle and quarter eagle; in silver, half-dollar, quarter-dollar and dime; minor, 5-cent, nickel and 1 cent bronze. A person may buy a proof set of gold coins from the mint for $33.50 and a proof set of silver and minor coins for $1.50. When the business of the mints is slack modals may be struck from dies furnished by individuals, public institutions and incorporated societies, at a charge sufficient to cover the cost of the operation and the value of the metal. Blind Angler and Organist. A resident of the Potteries, who has been spending his holidays in East Anglia, has been fishing in the company of an expert angler who is absolutely blind. "It is," says this Staffordshire angler, "simply marvelous how this blind man can find his way along the waterside, select his swims, adjust his tackle, put a bait on the hook, cast out, and tell when he has the slightest nibble." The blind angler is also an accomplished musician, and has charge of the organ at the parish church.—London Chronicle. East Turner Hall Again!

BARDSEY AND ITS "KING." Isolated Community in North Wales Ruled by Monarch. About a mile distant from the rocky promontory of Braich-y-Pwil, the ex- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. westerly point of North Wales, lies the island of Bardsey, the home of a singularly isolated community. The island is the property of Lord Newborough, and was a favorite resort of the third baron, grandfather and predecessor in the title of the present peer. At that period the island was even more remote and out of the way than at present. Communication with Pwllheli was infrequent and uncertain. Consequently the Bardsey folk formed an entirely independent community, forced by circumstances to conduct their own affairs without special reference to the laws of the country. Lord Newborough instituted the office of "king." Selecting from the islanders one of superior parts and character, he invested him with the general authority which he himself possessed as landlord, bidding the rest to obey his ruling, abide by his decisions in case of dispute, and in general respect his authority. Partly in jest, partly to strengthen his vice-regent's position, he conferred upon that worthy the title of "King of Bardsey," and bestowed upon him a crown, a treasure and an army. The "crown" was a gorgeous diadem of brass, wondrously embossed and wrought; the "treasure" a silver casket brought from Italy, and the "army" a wooden figure painted to represent a soldier. ```markdown ``` LIGHTNING NOT SO FAST. Flyer Beat at Every Stroke and Arrived Ahead of Time. Returning from Chicago a few nights ago Del Valentine was on a fast train when it ran through a big storm. It was going so fast that it was always at the next mile post. "The train slid into the storm," he says, "and was passing out the opposite side when a zigzag streak of lightning on the outer edge took a shy at the engine just for luck and to put a competitor out of business, probably. It was a miscalculation and hit the ground more than 200 feet to the rear, tearing up sand and gravel like a mad bull in a dry river bed. Before the train could yank its full length from under lightning again tried its luck, this time mad and spiteful and in a hurry. But the engineer had caught on and in a joking sort of way jerked the throttle open a little wider. The train was fairly flying by this time, screaming and hissing, bellowing and blowing in defiance of wind, thunder, rain and lightning. Again she missed, though only by fifty feet or less this time. The passengers were getting scared a little, though they realized no ordinary lightning could drop down on the roof while the engine was awake. But as the train tore from under the big cloud another streak tried its cunning. More agile and quicker than the rest. CAMPBELL CHAPEL Sunday school every Sunday afternoon, at 1:15 p.m. Rev. D. D.

Recently in a paper read before a technical society at Odessa, Mr. Lokuzejewski described a way of killing the young of insects in fields by electricity. A dynamo is carried on a wagon (horse or automobile), and the current excites an induction coil, giving a high tension discharge. One pole of the coil is to the metal tires and the other to metal brushes passing over the ground. The discharge kills the grubs, etc., in the soil. The Voyage. I go not where I will, but must; This planet-ship on which I ride Is drawn by a resistless tide; I touch no pilot wheel, but trust That One who holds the chart of stars, Whose fathom-lines touch lowest deeps, Whose eye the boundless spaces sweeps, Will guide the ship through cosmic bars. Suicide Statistics. An Austrian student of the phenomena attending suicide says that of those persons who try to take their life by shooting themselves only one third succeed in attaining their end at once. Another third died after a long period of suffering from the wound inflicted, while the remaining third survive. "To-day and Forever." Man builds a castle on a hill, He makes a citadel or town And ere the world may know his skill Another comes to tear it down. Yet, day by day and year by year, Through all the changing centuries. While men appear and reappear, God paints his sunsets on the seas. Not all the years the world has known Have changed the pattern of the stars— Though men in conflict for a throne Have mapped the world with battle scars. Though men in their own blinded way Have grown confused of wrong and right. God gives them still the golden day And silent glory of the night. He turns time's record, page on page, • And writes his history the same. While men blot out each bygone age In mistiness of fading fame. In countless numbers men arise And try their weakness or their force, Yet calmly through the endless skies The earth holds its appointed course. Man's dreams as deeds to him appear, And dreamlike, deeds and words are gone. But day by day and year by year We have the sunset and the dawn. We never come to understand The trenchant message brought by these— God limns his sunrise on the land And paints his sunsets on the seas. —Chicago Tribune. Ships Coal to Sweden. Two or three years ago the Dominion Coal company of Sydney, Nova Scotia, shipped a cargo of coal to Sweden to be used as an experiment on government railways. The experiment proved such a big success that the company now ships some 25,000 or 30,000 tons annually for general consumption in Sweden. This year the company is to make a further experiment in the foreign market by sending some of its product to Mexico to be tested on the government railway there. Imports Clerks From Canada. The United States is suing the owners of a San Francisco drug store under the alien labor law, for importing four clerks from Canada. The defense is that the men, as graduate pharmacists, are in the exempt class of "men belonging to a recognized profession." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. TO REMOVE THE CIGAR BAND. Simple Device That Will Often Prevent Spoiling Good Smoke. Only a few years ago the placing of a band around a cigar was unknown and when it appeared first the band of paper was to be seen only around the finest brands of smokers. At first it was a badge of excellence, but later was adopted by all cigar manufacturers who advertised their goods, and the band developed into a mere means of identification, which has often had the object of preventing substitution of inferior goods. The use of the band has become so general that there seems to be a demand for some means of readily removing the same. One might think that this was a matter of no difficulty, but it is a well known fact to cigar smokers that most brands are placed on cigars so tightly that it is difficult to remove them. In attempting to re- move the band with the finger-nail or with the point of a knife it frequently happens that the wrapper of the cigar is so punctured or torn as to injure the smoking quality of the cigar, if not entirely to destroy it. To facilitate the removal of the band an inventor has conceived the idea of making use of a thread, string or cord under the band, having the ends thereof projecting beyond the edges of the band brought together and tied into a knot, forming a loop. This loop can be readily taken hold of by the thumb and finger and by pulling on it the band will be readily severed without marring the cigar wrapper in the least. This severing device may be placed under the band after the band is put upon the cigar, or it may be put on the cigar at the time that the wrapper is placed thereon. Colored Folk Fear "Voodoo." Colored folk in the Ninth ward of the city of Wilmington, Delaware, are in mortal terror over the finding by Michael Palese, a bridge tender, of a jet black cat with a "voodoo" bag tied around its neck with yellow ribbon. The bag contained spices, matches, needles and other magic charms. The note read: "Bell Smith, this day do I conjure that you must and shall leave these premises without delay on the ninth day from this day. And God have mercy on you. Amen." The negroes in the neighborhood think the Bell Smith referred to is Mrs. Isabella Smith, a white woman living on East Twelfth street. She does not seem concerned by the "conjuring." Thomas Hamilton, who has the bag, has been given different methods of getting rid of the conjure, the favorite being to burn it with three red peppers, and throw the dust into the river when the tide is flowing out. Meanwhile the black cat has escaped. Distinguished Churchman's Signature Distinguished Churchman's Signature.

Wedding Anniversary Celebrated In Style, Yet There Was Disappointment in the Feast—Beverage Not All She Had Been Led to Believe. As the time of the first anniversary of their wedding approached the Russells began to wonder in what way they might best celebrate the joyful event. Mollie's suggestions were numerous and impracticable, Jim's were few and altogether too practical. "Let's go to a show," he urged. "Well, but we would do that anyhow, wouldn't we?" asked Mollie. "We want this to be something special." "Let's give a dinner," Jim said, after deep thought on the matter. "The very idea," said Mollie. "How do you think that I would derive any enjoyment out of that? Fuss and fuss and worry for a week before it to give a lot of people stuff that they will eat only because they are too polite to refuse. Then we would have to ask the Strongs and the Linleys, and you know they have had a quarrel with each other and don't speak and we couldn't ask one without the other." "Then we must give it up as a bad job," said Jim, with no little relief. Jim's thoughts had run into the groove of dinners and were not to be sidetracked. "Let's have a dinner just of our own down town. We'll go to the finest restaurant and we'll celebrate." "Jim," began Mollie, "Jim—I want to ask you something. "Will you give me a champagne supper? I never tasted wine in all my life and I think that it would be just a great celebration, don't you?" "It's not an unusual one," replied her husband. The night of their anniversary Jim escorted Mollie into one of the most fashionable restaurants in town. They passed two young men who sat near the door without recognizing them as Bob Dennis and Fred Bates. Mollie had once experienced the honor of having refused to share Bob's rather uncertain future with him. The table that Jim found was directly within range of the vision of the two curious youths. "What'll you have?" asked Jim. "O, you can order the rest." Jim teased her all the time they were awaiting the arrival of the dinner. She was like a child with a new toy when she finally raised the glass to her lips. She barely sipped it when she put it down in disgust. "Jim," she said, "I think—I think it's horrid. I always thought that champagne would be lovely. I'd always heard it was fine. You said so yourself." She looked reproachfully at Jim, who was convulsed with laughter. Down the room she caught sight of Bob and Fred. They, too, had appreciated the situation, seeing, as they did, Mollie's look of disgusted disappointment, and they were laughing just as hard as Jim had been. The tears rushed to Mollie's eyes. "It's just like a man to make a fuss over such disagreeable stuff. Please"—to the waiter—"bring me a cup of coffee."—M. K. S. in Chicago Journal. USE OF ODD MOMENTS. Practical Woman Explains How She Has Time for Everything. "I don't know how you manage it," said one woman to another, "you always seem to know what is going on in the world, and to be able to read the newest books, and to keep up your music, while I never have time for anything but my children and my housekeeping." The other woman smiled. "I can't see why you don't have time." she replied, "your family is smaller than mine and we both have a housemaid and a cook. Suppose we talk it over." It turned out in the discussion that ensued that one woman got her family of young people up bright and early, so that at breakfast time the conversation could be about topics of world-wide interest, and then afterwards when the family had dispersed until lunch, and the morning's work was done, she could take a quiet hour and read or practice. In fact, as regards her reading, she was never without a book or magazine at hand ready to be picked up if even for a moment, during the day. In the evening, after the last meal of the day she gathered together her young people and read the most important news and this was followed by an informal discussion. This took but a short time and the family thus kept in touch with the doings of the great world. This woman realized a truth that does not come to every one, namely, that a good newspaper is the connecting-rod between provincialism and cosmopolitanism, and that, even if one live in a small place, one need not be ignorant of the game of the nations. Another line of conduct of this wise woman was to have lying around books of vital importance, new books of note. "But books cost so much;" cried the other, "we never can afford them. We depend upon the lending libraries." But a dozen books from a library never take the place of one standard work, always at hand when something is needed, always there when one is inclined to browse. When the wise woman neard that remark she smiled. "What did you pay for that Doulton vase you showed me last week? The price of that would cover the books I buy for six months. Of course we cannot afford all the new and expensive books, but there are an extraordinary number of books everyone should know, published at a price within the reach of all of us. We do enjoy so much settling what we shall have and all the children have their own ideas on the subject." "But your general knowledge," pursued the other.

Two merchants and planters of Portland were recently held to the grand jury by the commis sioners of Pine Bluff on charges of peonage, ‘but Col.

Whipple has received a letter from one Negro declaring ‘that he is being held to work out an alleged debt of several hundred dollars, although he raised a large amount of cotton last year. He declares that he wrote the letter at the peril of his life, as his employer would whip him nearly to death if he knew that he had written it. Col.

Practical Woman Explains How She Has Time for Everything. “I don’t know how you manage It,” said one woman to another, “you al- Ways seem to knowy what is going on in the world, and to be able to read the newest books, and to keep up your music, while I never have time for anything but my children and my housekeeping.” The other woman smiled. “I can't see why you don’t have time.” she replied, “your family is smaller than mine and we both have a housemaid and a cook. Suppose we talk it over.” It turned out in the discussion that ensued that one woman got her fam- fly of young people up bright and early, so that at breakfast time the conversation could be about topics of world-wide interest, and then after- wards when the family had dispersed until lunch, and the morning's work was done, she could take a quiet hour and read or practice. In fact, as re- gards her reading, she was never without a book or magazine at hand ready to be picked up if even for a moment, during the day. In the evening, after the last meal of the day she gathered together Ler young people and read the most im- portant news and tls was followed by an informal discussion. This took but a short time and the family thus kept in touch with the doings of the great world. This woman realized a truth that does not come to every one, namely, that a good newspaper {s the connecting-rod between provin- clalism and cosmopolitanism, and that, even if one liveinasmall place, one need not be ignorant of the game of the nations. Another line of conduct of this wise woman was to have lying around books of vital importance, new books of note. “But books cost ro much,” cried the other, “we never can afford them. We depend upon the lending libraries.” But a dozen books from a library never take the place of one standari work, always at hand when some thing Is needed, always there when one is inclined to browse. When the wise woman neard that remark she smiled. “What did you pay for that Doulton vase you showed me last week? The price of that would cover the books I buy for six months. Of course we cannof afford ell the new and expensive hooks, but there are an extraordinary number of books everyone should know, pub- lished at a price within the reach of all of us, We do enjoy so much set- ting what we shall have and all the children have their own ideas on the subject.” “But your general knowledge,” pur- sued the other. “I do not see Low you can know about such diverse sub- jects as radium and Botticelli’s paint- Ings.” “Odd momenta, odd moments" was the answer, “That's the mystery, I is ELS A Be es saa ec ip ar ce ae ae THE WESTERN COLLEGE | Macon, - ~ = Missourl | The oldest Christian Institution’ In the West.

The spring poet, as well as the sum- mer poet, the autumn poet, and the winter poet—all the same man—sat in the sanctum of the editor of The Sun- ny Smile, awaiting an audience with that august personage. At length the editor looked up with a “What can I do for you?” air. _“The poem I submitted last week”— said the poet. The editor took the manuscript from a pigeonhole in his desk and handed it to its author, saying: “I am very sorry, my dear sir, that your contribution is not exactly suited to the needs of The Sunny Smile. Its declination,” he continued, uncon- sciously adopting the language of ais rejection slip, “must not be understood as implying any lack of merit. In fact”—and here the editor again be- came the man—“while the poem is not available for our uses, I know a man who would accept it. He wouldn't pay much, to be sure; but——” “Anything will be acceptable,” said the poet; “unfortunately my muse is dying of starvation and needs bread. What is the name of the man?” “IT do not know his name,” said the editor. “All I know is that he comes here once a week to take away our waste paper."—Chicago Record FRATERNITIES Officers of Lodges Nights of Meeting M.

During the American Bar association's convention in St. Louis President James Hagerman talked one afternoon about trimmers. "The trimmer," he said, "would be all right, perhaps, did he not always trim too much. I have never seen a trimmer yet who did not remind me greatly of old John Thompson of Clairmont. "Thompson of Clairmont, had trimmed so excessively all his life long that he had never accomplished anything. He had never dared to do a positive and downright deed. Finally he came to die, and the minister called on him. "The minister and Thompson talked together a long time. At the end the minister said: "'Now, John, do you renounce the devil and all his works?' 'Oh, sir,' said Thompson, weakly, 'don't ask me that. I am going into a strange country and I don't want to make myself enemies.'" Plan Handsome Masonic Temple.

VOTING DOWN IN GEORGIA. zens negister ineir Choice, An odd custom prevails in one of the remote and isolated counties of northeast Georgia—Rabun, the county. that annually produces more illicit whisky than any other like area in the world. In a certain precinct in this county, far removed from anything like a village even, and surrounded by fome of the roughest and grandest scenery east of the Rockies, a locality is known as “the law grounds.” It Is centrally located, to accommo date the scattered inhabitants, and for upward of 160 years all cases of law bave beon tried and all elections for county, state and federal officers bave been held on these commoa grounds If the weather is pleasant. the meet Ings invariably take place in the open air, otherwise an old building is oc cupied, The writer happened to pass this add polling place about noon on the presidential election day, November, 1900. Twelve voters were present, re- clining on the ground. A board, one end cf which rested upon a log and the other cn a rock, served the clerk for a table, while a hat was used as a ballot box. A gentleman informed mo that there were 100 voters in the precinct, adding that it was customary to count the ballets whenever anyoue desired to tnow how the different can didates stood —Lesiie’s Weekly. So Gay! No accusation is commoner among Intimates than that of spreading gloom.

Black 2207. Phone us your news. Phone us your printing orders. Under the supervision of the fire and police board of Denver, there are two patrolmen and four firemen who are representatives of the colored citizens. The long years of service which they have given in their respective capacities and the lack of complaint against them argues for their ability and leads to the conclusion that the Negroes are well fitted for such public service. We therefore call the attention of the fire and police board to the fact that the direct taxes paid by Negroes in this city have increased since these six men were employed, and the voting strength of our people also is greater. The great influx of visitors this summer will necessitate extra police protection If the board is desirous of bringing our representation to a fair basis, we suggest the appointment of colored men to some of the positions thus created. If this is done, we have no fear that upon the reduction of the force to a normal basis, some of the Negroes will be found among those worthy of regular employment. A disposition upon the part of the police board to deal fairly with the Negroes will go far to do away with prejudice now existing among us toward the police department. Wrong begets wrong and every act of oppression by patrolmen has borne its fruit in protection given to criminals. Both are wrong and the lawabiding Negroes of Denver will undoubtedly make special effort to assist in ridding the city of --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The Negroes are part of the citizens of Denver and will always be. It is for the whites as much as for the blacks to say whether we too shall help in making a greater Denver, or whether we shall be mere hangers on, retarding progress. The court of appeals, of Maryland, holds the "Jim Crow" car law of that state inoperative as far as interstate passengers are concerned. The suit was instituted and conducted by Attorney W. H. H. Hart, of Washington. D. C., a professor in Howard University law school. The decision of the court was predicated upon a number of pertinent United States supreme court decisions. Some "colored" men doing business and depending upon the race for patronage seem to proceed on the assumption that they should be patronized because they are "colored." So they are not accommodating to their would-be customers They fail to keep goods that are up to the standard. They neglect to keep their places of business tidy and shut out the loaf ers. As a matter of fact, "colored" men in business should come up to the different respects indicated and then they ought to expect and have the patronage of our people.—Charlotte (N. C.)

Plant Growth. There is gradually dawning a belief that plant growth is more or less of a chemical process that may be accelerated or retarded by the application of the proper reagents, generally in the form of fertilizers, and that the ultimate growth is usually far in excess of the value of the material applied. This is apropos of some investigations that have been conducted by M. Nagaoka, of the Tokio Imperial university, in stimulating rice growth by the stimulating action of manganese in the form of manganese sulphate. A yield of 37 per cent over a field fertilized in the usual manner was obtained by this investigator and the value of the increased crop was equal to four times the cost of the chemical applied. African Jumping Hare. One of the rarest and most interesting of the wild animals in South Africa is the springhaas, or jumping hare. It lives in small communities on the open veldt, both in the plains and in the mountain ranges, and makes large and deep burrows in the ground, whence it emerges toward sunset, being rarely seen in the bright daylight. When chased in the open it proceeds in great bounds like a jerbon or kangaroo, for which its highly developed hind legs are admirably adapted, and is even said to move faster up hill than down. Its food consists of roots and green stuff. Its flesh is good to eat and is much appreciated by the Hottentots and Kaffirs. --- Kind of Music Government Had. A certain congressman who takes an interest in musical matters lately presented a bill advocating a larger appropriation for the care of the music in the Congressional Library. He spoke briefly on the subject and after the session a fellow Congressman approached him confidentially. "I say," he said in a low voice, "I like that bill of yours; but tell me what sort of music does the government have over there in the library—is it a band or just a hand organ?

They had finished the parish tea and the curate stood up to say a few words to the recipients before they dispersed. He spoke in eloquent terms of the impecuniosity of curates in general and then went on to say in apparently touching tones: "Why, even as I stand before you now I have only half a shirt to my back." A few days later the reverend gentleman received a parcel containing half a dozen new shirts, accompanied by a card bearing the name of one of his fair parishioners. At the earliest opportunity he called upon the lady and thanked her for her gift and then proceeded to ask what had prompted the kind action. "Why," she replied, "you told us the other night that you only had half a shirt to your back." "True," answered he, "but the other half was in front."
