THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. BRUCE GRIT SPEAKS Defends Collector Anderson from Unjust Attacks of Jealous Race Papers and Leaders. VOL. XV. EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN:— Sir, the Washington Record and hebdomadel, published in the same city are responsible for a lying report to which currency has been given by the Boston Guardian, which charges Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, the newly appointed Collector of Internal Revenue with having dissuaded a prominent colored citizen of New York from attending a reception given at the Executive Mansion in Albany. The prominent colored citizen having announced to Mr. Anderson the fact that he had received an invitation to the Governor's reception, was thus addressed by Mr. Anderson: "You're in the wrong, you should not Have said a word. You don't want to go; you won't be happy there. A reception is the most uncomfortable sort of proceeding in the world." "But I am invited," interrupted the other. "That makes no difference" said Anderson, "I've been invited too, I've been invited to every Governor's reception since Levi P. Morton's time but I've always sent my regrets. You need tact, my boy, tact." As one knowing the facts and the DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1905 man against whom this stupid and malicious lie is aimed, I wish to characterize this story as unqualifiedly false from beginning to end and I challenge these reputable Negro newspapers to make good their assertions or stand convicted as purveyors of deliberate and malicious falsehoods. With one exception Mr. Anderson is the only colored man ever invited to a governor's reception at Albany, to my knowledge. The exception was Mr. John W. Thompson, headwaiter at the Powers Hotel of Rochester, who was invited by mistake it is said, and it caused consider able comment. Mr. Anderson did not communicate with him either orally or by letter. Mr. Anderson was never in the employ of Mary Anderson, but was employed by her manager, Mr. Henry E. Abbey, and had no more to do with her than any other employee of Mr. Abbey. Something has been said about his "alleged flunkeyism" and this charge may be dismissed with a sneer. It is unworthy of the honorable gentlemen of the press in the light of facts which I shall here produce and chal- Mr. Anderson drafted the New York Civil Rights Bill, put it through the Legislature and personally, with Mr. Henry T. Burleigh, went to the leading hotels to test it and in order to let the hotel men know that there was such a law on the statue books. Tais is a matter of record. He has often dined with the leaders hereabouts, and I, only a short time ago saw him enroute to the Lawyers' Club to keep an engagement to dine with former Governor Black. The absurdity of the charge that he had discouraged a prominent colored republican and citizen from attending a governor's reception is obvious in view of the fact that he is constantly being invited to some social function by individuals, clubs and organizations of the most exclusive character among the white people of the state. When Roswell P. Flower was governor of New York, Mr. Anderson was his guest on a two day's excursion to Saratoga and Lake George. In the party were Governor and Mrs. Flower. Attorney General and Mrs. Hancock, State Treasurer and Mrs. Colvin, State Comptroller and Mrs. Roberts, Secretary of State and Mrs. Palmer, State Engineer and Mrs. Adams and several Judges of the Supreme Court and their wives. They all stopped at the Grand Union Hotel and Mr. Anderson was the only Negro known as such to stop there. A banquet was given the party at Glens Falls and the entire party drove in tally-hos to Lake George where it took a private yacht for cruise on the lake. The next day another banquet followed at the Sagamore Hotel on Lake George. He was a guest at Gov. Morton's reception to the Marquis Yamagata, Field Marshall of Japan in the Executive Chamber at Albany on the occasion of the Marquis' visit to America enroute to England to attend the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

NO.38 Anniversary Address Rice Lodge completed its first year Thursday of last week and celebrated it with a bagquet at which the following address was made: OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF RICE LODGE No.39, OF IMPROVED, BENEVOLENT PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS OF THE WORLD. Dear Sirs and Brothers:— Whereas, the Almighty has spared us to assemble here on our first anniversary and the occasion for which we have assembled is the greatest part of all, and to be blessed beyond the doubt of any other lodge in the city in regards to the fiscal condition during the past year, if I can get your attention for a few minutes to the best of my knowledge, I will advert to a few necessary points which I think will be of benefit to the lodge. If I make no mistake there are a great number of our brothers at various times when we would have a general speaking of the Lodge, when each brother was at liberty to express himself in regards to the good of the order and a great many times our thoughts have been far beyond our means, and the reason for the same we have never given the financial part of the Lodge a thought which is one of the most important parts of the Lodge and more so to its members. I must say, my dear brothers, that we must give this more attention in the future. I doubt if there are half a dozen members in here tonight who have the slightest idea how the financial condition of the Lodge stands in regards to each member's dues. You will notice, dear brothers, on the first page of the Constitution where it says that as long as a member obeys the Constitution and By-Law he is a Continued on page 5. NO.38 WARFARE ON THE SEA SUBMARINES TO TAKE PLACE OF BATTLESHIPS. Entire Change in Methods of Naval Combat Foreshadowed by the Development of the Invisible "Terror" Invasion by Sea to End. If battleships cease to exist, forts to repel them will be worthless. They are nearly as expensive as battleships and much more effective. Then, if transports have no battleships to oppose them, they need have no battleships to protect them; and, as a base for scouts and torpedo boats, all they need is coal and an admiral to report to. An improved destroyer may carry an admiral, not in such comfort as does the big and roomy battleship, but faster. And with the additional speed available, coaling stations may be further apart without hindrance to fleet operations and blockades, the only may be maintained farther at sea, safe from the fire of forts and the attacks of submarines. As for the future value of conveying transports, what will be the use of sending soldiers across the sea to certain death within a short distance of land? With twenty submarines in place of each coast defense ship, with a "mother ship" to supply food, water and supplies for every five of these ducklings, and with one fast surface craft for a scout, what transport that might slip by the one battleship, could hope to land her soldiers. And what invading war craft, slower than the scout, could catch her, or destroy her except by surprise, which it is a scout's business to prevent? Transports, to be successful, will need to be faster than the scouts that will report them; and, since this is physically impossible, invasion by sea will come to an end. It is safe to say that if Russia, at the beginning of the war, had expended upon submarines the cost of two of her bottled-up battleships, not a Japanese regiment could have landed on Korea and remained a regiment. With cheap submarines of fifty miles of submergence, and 400 of surface action, attached to every seaport, no transport or slow-going battleship would dare approach an enemy's coast. The battleship, with its seven or eight hundred men to die when disaster comes, is an expensive investment. Those who advocate its continuance do not advocate its development. No one argues for the building of battleships twice as loing and broad and deep as those that now exist, with twice the thickness of armor and weight of guns. Yet, if the big battleship be not developed still further, it will cease to exist. For a time its work can be done by the armored cruiser; then, as the speed and vision of the submarine is increased and perfected, by the fast protected cruiser and fast destroyer; and if the speed and vision of this deadly, unseen enemy that strikes out of the unknown in time and place finally encompasses the destroyer, these, too, must give way, as is probable, and adopt the submarine features of their vanquishers, and become submergible surface boats.—World's Work. Just Plain Grab. In one of the Chicago divorce mills the other day the case of Bifkins versus Bifkins, or some such name, was called, and a henpecked looking lit- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. he man arose, walked over to the witness chair, and sadly sank into it. During the course of the trial it came out that the domestic tranquility of the Bifkins home had been disturbed over financial affairs. "You charge in your bill that your wife, the defendant, took too much of your money," said the wife's lawyer. "Yes, sir," admitted the husband. "Can you tell me something about the distribution of the funds in your family?" asked the lawyer. "There wasn't any distribution," answered the little man. "Well, that's strange," said the lawyer. "You say there was no distribution, but that your wife got too much of your money. What do you mean by such contradictory statements?" "They are not contradictory," said the husband. "There was no distribution. It was grab." EASY TO CATCH SNAKES. But the Catcher Must Be Absolutely Without Fear. "How do we catch live snakes?" echoed the dealer in response to the query. "Oh, it's easy enough when you know how. In the first place, you have to be absolutely fearless of snakes. A person who is without fear can handle even deadly reptiles without danger. Most snakes, you know, attempt to escape when approached by a human being. That's where the catcher gets his work in. He will make a detour and head o." the fleeing reptile, which then comes to a stop and retreats in another direction. Another detour again starts the snake on a different course, and these tactics are followed until the reptile comes to a bewildered pause. Then the catcher will take out his handkerchief. This he waves at arm's length to attract the snake's attention, and all the time he is edging up closer until he is right over the snake, which is concentrating all its attention on the flapping handkerchief. A quick movement enables the catcher to grasp the reptile back of the head, and an expert will have it subdued and under his control with a few gentle strokings. Black snakes, bill snakes, pine snakes and other less venomous varieties are captured that way without difficulty."—Philadelphia Record. USEFUL FOR BUSINESS WOMAN. Small Dictionary Made Up as an Ornament. A cunning little memento for a young business woman, especially a stenographer or secretary, is a small dictionary which can be hung along with her vanity box and silver lead pencil on her chatelaine. At first sight it looks like a small silver match or stamp box. One side is left plain for the monogram, the other shows a small oval opening, through which is seen the glint of scarlet leather, and in tiny gold letters the word, "Dictionary." The case opens with a clasp and has a ring by which it can be attached to the chatelaine. The whole thing is not two inches high. The dictionary gives the spelling of the commonest words, but no definitions. True Praise and Flattery.

The Samuel Coleridge Taylor Ladies Chorus of 25 voices is doing excellent work under the careful supervision of Prof. McGruder. They expect to give their initial concert soon. Colorado Springs' people were much surprised last week to learn of the marriage in Denver of Miss Lena Beckwith and Mr. John Warner, both of this city. Mrs. Alice Coleman, wife of the turnkey at the county jail, died Thursday of last week after an illness of several weeks. The deceased was an active member of Payne Chapel and the funeral which was held from that church Sunday was the largest ever witnessed in this city. The many beautiful floral emblems were evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by her friends. She leaves a husband, mother, three brothers and two sisters. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved relatives. Refused to Talk. In a town in Pennsylvania last summer a meeting was held by several prominent gentlemen, the object being to use their combined influence to stop the deafening noise they usually had on the Fourth of July. Imagine their surprise when a reporter asked a doctor, one of their number and a very influential man, the following question: "You are in favor, are you not, of a sane and sensible observance of the Fourth of July? The public, I am sure, would be glad to hear your views on——" "Young man," interrupted the doctor, "do you think that is a proper question to ask a surgeon?" A Bad Pen. Senator Pettus of Alabama was writing with a noisy, spluttering pen. Laying the pen down, he smiled and said: "Once I was spending the evening with a friend of mine in Selma. We sat in the dining room, and from the kitchen came a dreadful scratching sound. "‘Martha,’ said my friend to the maid, ‘what is that scratching in the kitchen? It must be the dog trying to get in.’ "‘Huh,’ said Martha, 'dat's no dawg scratchin' de do'. Dat's de cook i-writin' a love letter to her honey-suckle,'" Iris Plants In Thibet.

Some of the Virginia papers seem to think it funny that Richmond's new mayor, Mr. McCarthy, has publicly defined his position on the clothes line question: "The mayor ought at all times to wear clean, decent, respectable clothes," he says. "He should keep his hair trimmed, his shoes shined, his linen clean and his clothes generally should be of proper appearance. Like an army officer, he should ever be ready to meet and greet those who come and to make a proper showing. I expect to keep this matter in mind." Consent for French Band. It was not easy to persuade the French government to allow the Republican Guard band to go to St. Louis. Consent was obtained only five days before the Savole called from Havre. Had it been refused other musicians in regular uniforms would have impersonated the band. The uniforms had already been made. An Infallible Timepiece.

Looking over the ultimate sea; In the gloom of the mountain a ship lies at rest. And one sails away from the sea; One spreads its white wings on a far-reaching track.

Congressman Brownlow is from one of the mountainous regions of Tennessee. He comes from that part of the world where the crests of rock are so high that Gov. Bob" Taylor once said of them that small children could stand tip-toe and tickle the feet of angels with very short straws. He is interested greatly, Mr. Brownlow is, in the good roads movement. "What I would like to see," said he to-day, "is Congressman Hearst start in on a crusade for national improvements on the highways with the same energy that has characterized his other work in national matters." In some parts of Tennessee it is difficult for a stranger traveling from New York, for instance, to imagine that the light of civilization has ever penetrated there. The houses are crudely built; the roadways mere blazes, the postoffices sometimes fifty miles apart. Mr. Brownlow tells a story of a Philadelphia drummer having reached one of the villages late at night, and on being awakened early in the morning rubbed his eyes and then asked for a bath. In a few minutes the landlord returned with a spade, a hickory towel and a gourd of soft soap. "What do I want with the spade?" asked the drummer. "Well, you'll need it when you try to dam the creek," the hotel man said. Woman Rules Snake Indians. Alexander Posey, interpreter and diplomat of the Dawes commission, who recently spent some time among the Snake Indians to secure evidence needed in making record of Creek Indians, tells of a strange discovery he has made. Among the fullblood Snakes he found a woman who is the modern Zenobia of her race. Her Indian name is Fahnee. She can not speak English, but is considered a woman of wisdom among her tribesmen. She is 50 years old, and for years there has not been a council of war, or any other matter of import to the tribe, at which she has not been present and given advice. She is always listened to by the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD men of the tribe, and seldom has her judgment been at fault. She has been in sympathy with the faction, which has always resisted the allotment of lands. She has never led a band of Indians in a fight, but she has taken a very active part in shaping the policy of the tribal government for the last twenty-five years. A Treat for the Clergyman. The late Dean Hole of Rochester, England, was a man of many good stories, and one of his favorite anecdotes concerned a Lancashire minister who received a curious invitation. The minister in question was sitting in his study one night when a visitor was announced, and a miner, to whose wife he had ministered during a long illness, entered. Having cautiously looked around to see that there were no listeners the miner thus addressed the clergyman, with an air of grave, mysterious importance: "You've been very kind to my old gal when she was sick so long, and I want to do yer a good turn. There's going to be a grand dog-fight in this parish to-morrow, and I can get yer into th' inner ring!" Wu Ting-Fang in Hard Position. Wu Ting Fang, formerly Chinese minister to this country, is now connected with the bureau of commerce and learning in his native land. The head of the bureau is a very conservative old official, the next in rank being a young prince, who is completely dominated by his superior. Under the circumstances it is not believed that Mr. Wu is pleasantly situated, he being a man of progressive Western ideas. Albino Fox in Massachusetts. John Bohonon has returned to Nashua, N. H., from Shirley, Mass., with the pelt of an albino fox. The color is perfect white, and the animal has all the signs of being a complete albino. The only color marks are a few black hairs on his feet and in his brush. The only explanation offered for the freak is that it is a polar fox which has strayed to temperate latitudes. Law of Fair Dealing. Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment and shew mercy and compassion every man to his brother. And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. —Zachariah vii. 9-10. Just Why He Responded. Jack Potts—Our minister is going to leave us for another congregation. Bill Bluff—In response to a call, I suppose. Jack Potts—A call. No; I think more likely It's a raise.—Philadelphia Press.

Julius Kruttschmitt of San Francisco, the general manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad, recently gave out the largest single order for steel rails that the business world has ever known. A reporter, in discussing this order with Mr. Kruttschmitt, called it a "daring one." "No," said the railroad magnate, smiling, "there was nothing daring about it. Daring things are those that have in them something risky, something insecure. For instance, you might term 'daring' the well-known action of Hanks, the milkman, in the millionaire's house." "Hanks, the milkman?" 'said the reporter, puzzled. "Yes, Hanks, the milkman. He, one morning, forgot to water his milk. In the hall of his best customer he remembered this omission. A huge tub of fine, clear water stood on the floor by his side. There was no one to spy on him, and thrice, before the maid brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his milk with a large measure filled from the tub. Then he served the young woman calmly and went on. "As he was bellowing down the next area the first customer's footman beckoned to him. He returned, and was ushered into the presence of the customer himself, a millionaire. 'Hanks,' said the gentleman, 'I prefer hereafter to water my own milk.' "Well, sir," said Hanks, "it's useless to deny the thing, for I suppose you were watching me while——' " 'No,' said the millionaire. 'No one was watching you. But the fact is, Hanks, the children are taking medicinal baths, and the tub in the hall was full of sea water.'" Test for the Eyes. Here is a little test for your eyes that will show you which of them is the stronger. Place an object about two inches in diameter on a level with your eyes and move back from it about ten feet. Then point to it and take sight along the top of your pointing finger exactly in a lino with the eye and see if the object seems to have moved from the straight line. If it has not moved to one side apparently, the eye with which you first looked is the stronger, as the addition of the other's vision does not change the focus. If the object seems to have moved it proves that the other eye is the stronger, the difference being measured by the distance that the object appears to have moved. Try sighting with both eyes open first. Then look with first one eye and then the other and see how far out of line each makes the object appear. The one that is furthest out of line is the weaker eye. Keeping In With Satan. In one of the churches of the city, according to District Attorney Jerome, there was once an old woman who insisted on bowing her head every time the name of Satan was mentioned during the service or sermon. The rector, after noting this eccentricity for many months, asked her: "Madam, why do you bow at the name of Satan? It is not customary, you know." "Oh, I know that," said she, "but it doesn't cost anything to be polite, and one never knows what will happen."—New York Times. New South Wales owns more than 60 per cent of the entire number of sheep pastured in the provinces of Australia. Since 1860 the wool clip has brought to New South Wales alone the enormous sum of $1,330,000,000. Nearly 250,000,000 pounds of wool are yearly exported from New South Wales. Angora goats have also been bred in the colony, and there are at present nearly 40,000 of them in the country. Completed the Cheer. A day or two ago there appeared on the register of the Coates house the names of Charles Hipp and Mrs. Hipp of Chicago. A travelling man, who was the next arrival, picked up a pen and, hesitating a moment, said to the clerk, "I guess I'll change my name to-day." Then under the names of the Chicago guests he wrote, "John T. Hooray."—Kansas City Times. He Knows Better.

Either call, A Famous Courthouse. The Banner received a special this morning from Jamestown, giving an account of the burning of the courthouse of Fentress county, which occurred at an early hour this morning. This is the courthouse made famous by Mark Twain in the "Gilded Age," of which he said the sows and pigs were cleaned out to make ready for the coming of the circuit judge, and on the fence citizens sat and bet which could first spit tobacco juice on bumble bees. James Clemens, father of Mark Twain, lived for some years at Jamestown. Fentress county is located in a remote region of the upper Cumberland country. Besides the interest attached to the courthouse by Mark Twain's reference it is one of the oldest buildings of its character in the state, and many of the prominent judges, including Chancellor Allison of this city, have frequently held court within its historic walls.—Nashville Banner. Not Information to Her. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich was traveling from Providence to his summer place at Warwick a while ago, and as the train was somewhat crowded he sat down beside a bright little girl of about eight years who went to and from school on the line five times a week. She was a pretty blue-eyed, fair-haired little thing and the senator, by way of pleasant conversation, remarked: "What pretty eyes you have." The small damsel looked at him calmly and responded, "So I've been told before." The conversation stopped right there.—New York Times. Shooting Crocodiles Poor Sport. Shooting crocodiles is no sport, writes Mr. Casper Whitney in Outing. You sit in the bow of a canoe, rifle in hand, while two men paddle silently forward until you sight a dark, olive-green, log-like thing in the mud. The "thing" is not so imaginative as it looks. Perhaps you have momentary sight of a yellowish patch, the underside of its throat, as it moves off; and then you fire and paddle with all speed to where the creature was; was, I repeat, for nine times out of ten past tense is the proper one. You may see a few spots of blood to indicate you have scored, but rarely is a crocodile killed instantly, and otherwise it is not secured. No matter how severely wounded, it finds its way into the river to die and sink, or to fall prey to other crocodiles. ```markdown ``` THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

Mrs. Sam Jones entertained the Aid at her beautiful home, and all were delighted with the delicious repast. Mrs. H. C. Parson is able to be out again after a protracted illness. An organization known as the Sisterly and Brotherly Love Club, has been formed. Their object is to organize in the near future a Household of Ruth, which will be under the jurisdiction of Colorado. The rally that was held in Anaconda Sunday at Allen Chapel, surpassed our expectation. $130.10 was turned over to the officers. Mesdames Icene, S. Walker, J. A. Mark, McMurry and Mr. Jos. Holbert deserve much credit for their zealous efforts. Rev. B. F. McIntyre the pastor, was assisted by Rev. Jordan Alien. The Bethel Baptist Church is contemplating buying a $3,500 iot on which to erect a handsome edifice. Women in South Africa. Openings for women in South Africa appear to be many and varied. A woman writing on this subject says the peculiarity of this country is its unfamiliar conditions of life. Luxuries are more in demand than necessities. The range of employment open to women is a wide one, varying from domestic service to beauty doctor, but everything is much more expensive in this newly opened land. Living in the Transvaal is at least 100 per cent dearer than in London. Laundresses are scarce and the calling in small favor among the women at the Cape, who fear social ostracism if they turn to the washtub. This and the fact that dollies are being sent out to some of the houses needing decent furniture throws a curious side light on this country. There are chances for much money to be made by clever women caterers at railway stations. These are few and far between and the rentals enormous. Young Old People of To-day. People quit growing old at 40 half a century ago. They quit it when they ceased thinking themselves old at 40, ceased dressing old at 40, not to speak of drinking themselves old at 40. The young man of 50 or 60 now wears the natty sack tweeds or serges that his son or grandson wears, topped off with a jaunty hat. He goes to baseball, the races; he keeps up with the procession and is all in for a good time in moderation, healthfully. The young woman with him in white or colors, with the gay hat, who has the manners of a youthful, but self-respecting girl of 20 in the last century, is his wife, perhaps a grandmother, but none the less young and happy yet. They feel young, they dress young, they believe themselves young—by the Great Horned Spoon, they are young!—Louisville Herald. Kansas City's Dogs. There are nearly 10,000 dogs in Kansas City. Capt. James Kennedy, the official enumerator, has accounted for and collected taxes on 8,000, a gain of 1,000 over last year, and says he hopes to round up the other 2,000 before snow files. Divorces in Prussia. The number of divorces in Prussia in 1902 was 5,278. The percentage was from twice to ten times as high in Berlin as elsewhere. RECORD OF BRAVE WOMEN. Teacher in New Mexico a Heroine In Emergencies. In the winter of 1903-4 Miss Alice A. Blake, a Christian Endeavor teacher in a school at Trementina, N. M., found herself in the midst of a scourge of diphtheria. A Mexican drove up one day with his wife and babe, and they were related to some of her pupils. She dismissed the school in order that the latter might go out to greet their friends. The baby was fondled and kissed and that night it was stricken with the disease. Miss Blake at once closed her school and prepared for a siege. The disease spread rapidly, and she established a quarantine as thoroughly as possible. She personally took care of fifty-four cases, and was then attacked herself. She sent forty miles for antitoxin, but when it arrived she had improved so much that she reserved her supply for others, and nursed patients until they numbered in all seventy-six. The scourge had run its course, and she took a vacation, not for rest, but to attend a training school for nurses at Colorado Springs. As soon as her course was finished she went back to her work, but none too quickly, for she encountered an epidemic of typhoid fever. She personally attended quite a number of patients, and nursed them all back to safety. College Training Came Handy. Deputy Sheriff John W. Anderson of Somerville, N. J., not long ago was a Princeton athlete. The training he had in college stood him in good stead the other night. "Larry" Wallace, a heavy-weight desperado, undertook to escape from jail, but was observed by Anderson. Wallace butted him in the Big Stalks of Corn. George Cook took two stalks of corn to the world's fair that measured 17 feet in length. It would have required a ten-foot stepladder for a man to have been able to pull the ears of corn from the stalks when standing straight up.—Byron (O. T.) Republican. Prosperous Benevolent Society. The Portuguese in California have a benevolent and social organization called Irmandade de Divino Espirito Santo, which has more than 4,000 members. $30,000 in the treasury and no outstanding bills. Immense California Orange. One of the largest oranges ever grown in California measured 18 inches around and weighed two and one-half pounds. It was of the seedless variety. 1 BUYING RUBIES IN BURMA. Grips and Signs Used In Bargaining for Precious Stanes. The peculiar business methods of oriental merchants are illustrated by the manner of buying rubies in Hur- ma, says the Jewelers’ Circular Weekly. In the examination of rubies srtificial light is not used, the mer- chants holding that full suniight alone can bring out the color and briJliancy of the gems. Sales must, therefore, take place betwen 9 a. m., and 3 p. m., and the sky must be clear. The purchaser, placed near a win- dow, has before him a large copper plate, The sellems come to him one by one and each empties upen this plate bis little bag of rubles. The pur chaser proceeds to arrange them for valuation in & number of smal! heaps. The first division is into three grades, according to size; each of these groups is again divided into three piles ac eording to color, and cach of these piles is again ‘“ivided into three piles according to color, and each ot these piles is again divided into three groups, according to shape. The bright copper plate has a curious use. The sunlight reflected from It throngh the stone brings out with true rubles a color effect different from that with red spinels and tour- malines, which are thus easily sepa- rated. ‘Le buyer and seller then go through a very peculiar method of bargaining by signs or rather grins, fh perfect silence. After agreeing upon the fairness of the classification, they join their right hands, covered with a handkerchief or the fiap of a gar ment, and by grips and pressures mutually understood among afl these dealers they make modify and accept proposais of purchase und sale. The bands are then jncovered and the prices are recordec. WAYS OF THE DRUMMER. Expert Opinion by One Who Evident ly Knows the Species. The gentleman who is called the drummer is frequentiy the whole band and a brass band at that. There is consequently music in the alr when he is around.

Curious Traits of Ants. In the proceedings of the Philadel- phia academy Miss A. M. Fields re cords three instances of curious traits dispisved by ante kept under observa- tion In the laboratory at Wood's Holl, Mass. In the first case the actions re- corded suggest something akin to. hyp- notism, while from the third there seems a possibility that these insects may be able to remember and recog: nize individuals of their own kind af- ter a separation of several years. The reactions of ants to vibrations is the wubject of another article In which it je urged that it is misleading to THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ascribe or deny hearing to these in- fects. They are very bensitive to the vibrations cf solids, but not to those of air. . Appreciated “Clarissa.” Edward Young, author of “Night Thoughts,” wrote in 1749 to the Duch- ess of Portland a letter containing an enthusiastic reference to Richardson's “Clarissa,” and this letter has just been published among the Longleat MSS. “Has your grace read his ‘Clar- isea’?” says Young. “What a beauti- ful brat of the brain js there! 1 wish your grace would stand godmother and give its name ‘Clarissa the Dt- vine.’ That romance wiil probably do more good than a body of Divinity. If all printers could turn such au- thois 1 would turn printer in order to be instrumental in promoting such benefit to mankind.” The modern au- thor may well sigh for such apprecia- tlon. Langquaces of India. Among the 145 distinct languages spoken in British India are some pos- sessing only a few hundred words, others rivaling English, as Dr. Grier- son says, or Russian, as 1 would say, in their coplousness; some in which every word is a monosyllable, others in which some are elongated by ag- giutination till they run to ten syl lables. like da-pa-locho-akan-taken-tae- tin-a-¢—a Soutall word meaning: “He who belongs to him who belongs to me will continue letting himself be made to fight.” Some of these divers tongues lack verb and houn, others are as complex and systematic as Greek and Latin —Nineteenth Cen- oo .

With One Leg Shot Away He Crawied Forward to Fight. “Il rushed by a fellow who was down; his left leg was shot away,” says a Japanese officer writing in Les- e's Monthly. “He was bleeding co- piously. Through the din of rifle fire and machine guns which gave us a mantle of smoke and dust, I shouted to him: ‘To the rear, to the field bos- pital, and be quick about It.’ “The fellow looked at me, and upon his face was a marked sign of sun prise. His lips quivered in a half smile. The expresaion of his face was at once an interrogation point and a mild rebuke. Then he began to wiggle himself forward through the bodies of his fallen comrades. I repeated my order, which, seeing that he could not walk very well with one leg, was a rather foolish one—I was somewhat exasperated at the evident indifference on his part to the order of his su- perior officer. “He raised his face in my direction with the same old half smile and said to me: ‘Liettenant, I have lost one of my legs, but don't you see I have two hands?

Up in the Virginia hills is a small hotel, or large boarding house, whichever you like to call it, where the air and Beenery are supposed to make up for the lack of modern conveniences, a pitiful foot tub and a pint of water greet you every morning, and you pine for your home tub as Moses’ follow- ers hankered for the fleshpots.

McCullough, opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. Minnie Bell, followed by quotations from "Duty" in answer to roll call. After the usual routine of business, the club enjoyed an address on "Federation" by Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson. Mesdames Bondurant and Campbell rendered the beautiful duet, "Hope Beyond." Mrs. Travers recited "The --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Guardian Angel" in a very pleasing manner. The program was concluded by an instrumental solo by Mrs. Bondurant rendered in her well known style. The club voted to join the Federation. The next meeting is with Mrs. Overton next Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. W. H. Freeman entertained the Booklovers Club Monday afternoon complimentary to Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, with fourteen drawings each representing a literary work. A spirited contest of twenty minutes resulted in a tie among Mesdames Spratlin, Black and DePriest, which was decided by Mrs. DePriest drawing the lucky number, the prize, a nicely bound book of quotations. Mrs. Overton was awarded the consolation prize. Several musical numbers by Mesdames Bondurant and Jackson was indeed a rare treat. Dainty refreshments were sserved. A STARTLING TEST To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months."

Disobedient Patient Was Not Shrewd Enough to Deceive Doctor. The patient was feeling so much better that she insisted on rising with the family and dressing. After breakfast her daughter declared that she must undress and get into bed, as the doctor had ordered that she stay in bed three or four days. "There! I see the doctor's carriage coming now, mother," she exclaimed. "Undress as quickly as you can and I'll keep the doctor talking until you are ready." The mother hurried into the bedroom and the daughter went to the door. For a few minutes the daughter exerted herself to entertain the physician, and then her mother called out: "I'm ready to see Dr. Blank now." The doctor gravely took the woman's pulse, listened to her breathing, did various other wise things, and then said: "I should like to examine your feet, Mrs. A., to see if they are swollen." The patient gasped. "Oh, I don't think it's necessary," she said. "But I assure you it is," said the physician gravely. Then the patient began to giggle. "Good gracious, Doctor!" she said, "I have my shoes and stockings on." And then she explained that she had only gone to bed when she saw him coming and had not stopped to take off her stockings and shoes. Telephone Girls of Europe. A London correspondent who has a London-Paris-Milan wire in his room writes that in his opinion the telephone girl is not quite an angel. He finds the London telephone girls slow and indifferent, the French intractable and impertinent. When the Whittaker Wright trial was proceeding he found himself late with some news and rushed to the telephone. Absolute silence followed his frantic ringing, until he almost pulled the telephone from the wall. After twenty minutes or so a sweet voice said: "Number, please?" "But," he protested, "I have been ringing for half an hour!" "Oh, really! I am so sorry, I was drinking my tea!" In Paris the girls are absent-minded and usually make the connections badly, but have invariably an excuse and will not hear remonstrances. The Italian telephone girl by the side of her London and Paris sisters shines indeed. She is obliged to repeat the number wanted and so seldom makes a wrong connection, she is prompt, and not exceptionally pert, but she is lazy and will often tell you that the person you want does not reply when she has made no effort to ring him up.

Agents wanted everywhere. member of this Lodge; and also you will find in your laws that if a member is in arrears for three months he should be declared suspended. If we respect those rules how many members would we have. Dear brothers, it is a downright shame for the Lodge to be imposed upon as it has been in the past by some of our brothers, and time and again have brothers gotten up and asked the Lodge to be a little patient with the neglecting brother, even after considering the circumstances of some. It has become worse than six months ago, and if you would only give this a moment's thought you would see such thing in the future will be detrimental to this Lodge. We don't have to make suggestion what to do, brothers, but take your Constitution and By-Law and let it be your guidance and if you find that you can't live up to it after swearing before the Supreme Ruler to do so, then it will be useless for us to try to go any further. We should take up this matter tonight and see that every member of this Lodge is provided with a Constitution and By-Law and let this Lodge be guided by it during the next twelve months. See if the approach of 1906 will not be of more success than in the past. I dare say it will decrease membership for awhile, but my dear brothers. it will be better for us to have thirty financial members that we know we can take care of should they get in distress, than to have a large number of unfinancial members and should anything happen to them and we can not relieve them we must take the abuse of the public and other secret orders. I tell you, my dear brothers, it is not what we are that will increase our membership but it is our work before the public, and when we do that we will never have cause to solicit members for this Lodge. Would you think that we as Elks are watched more than any other secret order in the city in regards to our success along this line? Now is the time for us to put our heads and shoulders together and go hand in hand and make this part of the Lodge more successful than it has been. I truly hope that each brother, will from this on give the matter just stated his deepest consideration, for the benefit of the Lodge and more so for himself. As we have set apart this date it being our anniversary, to assemble together in a social manner, I would like to make a few remarks on our social existence in the Order of Elks If there is one feature that distinctively marks the ceremonies of Elk dom it is the social connection and THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADC. the 11 o'clock toast. Perhaps in no other single point is the pre-eminent excellence and special mission of our Order so clearly outlined. Whether in the humming, bustling cities or remote from the great centers of civilization, at the hour of 11 thronging cares and jarring discords of life are dismissed as the mind of every Elk is directed on swift winged thought to his absent brother, dead or alive, and with one sweep of recollection and affection all are instantaneously brought into the magic circle. Some may be tempting fickle fortune within the confines of snows, others amid the luxuriance of perpetual summer; some may be wooing fame and wealth in the far off Orient. Green be the turf about the Friend of past social days; None knew thee but to love three None name thee but to praise. Others may be a thousand miles away towards the setting sun, some life's fitful fever over may be no longer the sport of the toils and conflicts of life, but each one present are as faithful brothers whom no distance or mutation of time can efface from loving recollection. Not only is the 11th hour toast of Elkdom to all absent brothers, and its rigid observance, a unique feature of the Order which is so lovable, so appropriate so full of devotion to all whom we are bound by tender ties, that the more it is considered the more strongly does it commend itself alike to reason and to sensibility. The thought is inspiring; it permeates the entire being with a fresh vigor and greater determination; it nerves the one almost despairing with the invigorating knowledge that he is alone that there are brothers here, there and everywhere who make his weal their weal, who bound to him with a mystic tie, sympathize in misfortune and affliction, rejoice with him in prosperity. Man is immortal; that truth is written in the operation of nature and the scheme of revelation. No effort can prolong the brief allotted span of mortal existence, but it is within the power of all to make these years of fruition for the development of all the nobler attributes, for the culture of all the genial qualities which will make our brother man hap pier and the world the better because we have lived and acted. My dear brothers, it is only when man is bound to his brother man, only when his heart beats responsive to the aspiration and ideal efforts of others that he begins to live. It is only when in full accord with the great soul of humanity throbbing the thousand symphonies of the universe that he realizes that highest conception of creation--a perfect man. My dear brothers, I believe that our Order is the home for all intelligent, conscientious, honest men who have become wearied of the quarrels of sects, creeds and isms of various and Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines.

And if we keep abreast of the demands made upon us, then when the scattered fragments of the past shall have been gathered into the golden urn, it will be written in letters of living light across history's page that our Order has been second to none in promoting nobler living and creating a more perfect humanity. I will say, dear brothers, with these few closing remarks that I firmly believe that this meeting will be ef great benefit to this Lodge and with God's help and your assistance under my second administration I will spare no pains as far as my knowledge and time will allow, to make the ensuing year a successful one for Rice Lodge, No. 39, I.

Every intelligent effort is being put forth by the Program committee to make this the leading feature of the society. Friday the following program was rendered: Address, Rev. Byas; Musical solo, Miss Black, Milton Ellsworth the coming poet, recited a neat piece of poetry; Miss Brown deserves much credit for her solo. The fine Easter program was rendered last Sunday and much credit is due Mr. Jones the Sunday School superintendent, and Miss Annita Jasper for the able manner in which they conducted the children's exercises in the afternoon. Every child acted his part well. Rev. Byas had charge of the evening program in which the choir led by Mrs. L. S. Black, rendered valuable service. The Papers by Mrs. Frances Ellsworth, and Miss Anita Jasper on Missionary work, were much appreciated. The Solo by Miss Cecelia Orr, held the large congregation spell-bound. The Address by T. O. Mason, on the "Destination of The Conscientious Man," made a lasting impression. Everyone pronounced this the grandest Easter program ever rendered in the city. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Wm.

Dr. King's New discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. Van Metre of Shepherdtown, W.

The Statesman has taken a stand for a square deal for the colored people of Colorado. In keeping with our past utterances, we feel frank to say that Governor McDonald will gain for himself and for the republican party no credit from anyone if he confines the places given Negroes under his administration to the smallest in his gift. We do not oppose janitorships for those who cannot fill better places or who deserve no greater reward, but unless the Governor does the fair thing by giving more substantial recognition to those whom he recognizes as leaders of the colored people, he will fail to merit any reward from our people. We have but one position in Colorado that we can point to. Neither under the national nor state administration have we another that sufficiently rewards the faithful republicanism the Negro represents. Let the race loving Negro who wishes to be a man among men sound the slogan "Janitorships won't do!" A very pretty wedding occurred at Campbell Church Easter morning at 8 o'clock when Rev.

Mr. Anderson is a bright, industrious young man, who hails from one of Virginia's oldest and best families. --- Bruce Grit Speaks Continued from page 1 Governor's Private Secretary, Col. Ashley W. Cole, I received an invitation to this reception also, and saw the wonderful little Japanese dignitary and his suite and heard his address to the Governor. All present were introduced to him and shook his hand. When the republicans of New York banqueted Senator Platt after his election to the United States Senate the first time, Mr. Anderson was a guest and occupied a seat at one of the tables near the senator's. This was the greatest social function ever given in Albany. Republicans from all over the county were present to pay honor to Thomas C. Platt.

At the return banquet given by Judge Rooney to Chevalier Napoleon Dominici, High Commissioner of the Venezuelan government a few weeks later, he was a guest. At a reception given by Borough President Cassidy, the Mayor and City Council to Prince Henry during his visit here, he was a guest. At a banquet at the Waldorf Astoria to Vice President Fairbanks, Gov. Odell and Senator Depew, he was a guest. At the monster banquet given President McKinley by Columbus Post of Chicago at the Ellicott Club of Buffalo on the occasion of the Grand Encampment of the G. A. R., in that city among the speakers was Chas. W. Anderson. Before Gov. McKinley became president he was the guest at a dinner given him at the Yates Hetel, Syracuse, N. Y., in 1894. He was also a guest and speaker at a banquet of the republican club of Powtucket, R. I., in 1893. There were but two speakers invited from out of the state, Theodore Roosevelt and Chas W. Anderson. The celebrated Marquette Club of Chicago, one of the most aristocratic clubs of the West, invited him to be its guest at their annual banquet in William Knight Floor Manager arris Orchestra. N 35 CTS. May 16. 1895, when he delivered an address. He was subsequently tendered a private banquet at the Union League Club of Chicago, by Frank O. Lowden (son-in-law of the late George Pullman) and John Maynard Harlan, (son of the Justice Harlan of the U. S. Supreme Court, and ten other gentlemen of Chicago. He was the guest of the aristocratic republican club of New York City at the reception in honor of Gov. Higgins and Lieutenant Governor Bruce, last November. The late Elliott F. Sheppard entertained him a number of times at the Union League Club of New York, and his great and good friend, Adjutant General McAlpin, has entertained him at his country home, "The Alpine" at Ossining. There is'nt a man of the race who possesses more moral courage than Mr. Anderson or who would more quickly resent an insult to himself or to his race. He is absolutely incapable of cringing and he would scorn to say the things attributed to him by this mythical prominent colored republican and his accomplices, the reputable colored journals, who have assisted him in circulating this slanderous and vicious lie. It is up to these journals to produce their man or stand convicted as mendacious liars. The onus probandi is upon them. Explanations and apologies are due. JOHN E. BRUCE. --- Our Collector is about.
