THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. A Reminiscence Of Douglass Frederick Douglass and the John Brown Raid on Harpers Ferry---Contributed by Bruce Grit. VOL. XV. The following letter was written by Frederick Douglass to refute a slander and on learnfog that Governor Wise of Virginia desired to make his acquaintance. CANADA WEST, Oct. 31, 1859. To The Editor of the Rochester Dem- ocrat:—I notice that the telegram makes Mr. Cook (one of the unfortunate insurgents at Harper's Ferry, and now a prisoner in the hands of the thing calling itself the Government of Virginia, but which, is but an organized conspiracy by one party of the people against the other and weaker) denounces me as a coward and asserts that I promised to be present in person at the Harper's Ferry insurrection. This is certainly a very grave impeachment whether viewed in its bearings upon friends or upon foes, and you will not think it strange that I should take a somewhat serious notice of it. Having no acquaintance with Mr. Cook, and never having exchanged a word with him about the Harper's Ferry insurrection I am disposed to doubt that he could have used the language concerning me which the wires attributed to him. The lightning when speaking for it- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1905 self is among the most direct, reliable and truthful of things, but when speaking for the terror stricken slaveholders at Harper's Ferry it has been made the swiftest of liars. Under their nimble and trembling fingers it magnified seventeen men into seven hundred, and has since filled the columns of the New York Herald for days with interminable contradictions. But assuming that it has told the truth as to the sayings of Mr. Cook in this instance, I have this answer to make to my accuser. Mr. Cook may be perfectly right in denouncing me as a coward. I have not one word to say in defense or vindication of my character for courage. I have always been more distinguished for running than fighting and tried by the Harper's Ferry insurrection test I am most miserably deficient in courage, even more so than Cook when he deserted his brave old captain and fled to the mountains. To this extent Mr. Cook is entirely right and will meet no contradiction from me or from anyone else. But wholly, grievously and most unaccountably wrong is Mr. Cook when he asserts that I promised to be present in person at the Harp- er's Ferry insurrection. Of whatever other impudence and indiscretion I may have been guilty, I have never made a promise so rash and wild as this. The taking of Harper's Ferry was a measure never encouraged by my word or by my vote at any time or place. My wisdom or my cowardice has not only kept me from Harper's Ferry, but has equally kept me from making any promise to go there. I desire to be quite emphatic here—for of all guilty men he is the guilliest who lures his fellowmen to an undertaking of this sort, under promise of assistance which he afterwards fails to render. I therefore declare that there is no man living and no man dead, who if living, could truthfully say that I ever promised him or anyone else, either conditionally or otherwise, that I would be present in person at the Harper's Ferry insurrection. My field of labor for the abolition of slavery has not extended to an attack upon the United States Arsenal. In the teeth of the documents already published and of those which may hereafter be published, I affirm that no man connected with the insurrection, from its noble and heroic leader down can connect my name with a single broken promise of any sort whatever. So much I may deem it proper to say negatively. The time for a full statement of what I know, and of all I know of this desperate and sublimely disinterested effort to emancipate the slaves of Maryland and Virginia from their cruel taskmasters has not yet come and may never come. In the denial which I have now made my motive is more a respectful consideration for the opinions of the slave's friends than from my being made an accomplice in the general conspiracy against slavery. I am ever ready to write, speak, organize, combine and even to conspire Continued on editorial page. State Historian & Natural History Society MAN. NEW MEXICO.

His friends declare he is the oldest and greatest coon hunter alive. About the "time that coons are ripest" the old doctor arranges his spring wagon, loads it up with grub, gets his hounds together and pulls for the tall timber in the Creek country. He often goes out alone for a hunt in the fall and does not return until the following spring.—Chicago Chronicle. "So you were sent to bed without your supper?" "Yes," answered the boy with a tenacious disposition. "But I don't like what they had for supper, and I was sleepy anyhow." MADE YOUNG AGAIN.

THE STATE 1026 19th Street, N M. B. A Belated Prayer. A good anecdote is related of a young minister who was supplying the pulpit of the Wrentham (Mass.) Congregational church during the absence of its pastor, the Rev. Elisha Fisk, better known as "Priest Fisk," whose pastorate in this church covered a period of fifty-six years. Upon opening the Bible the young minister came across the following notice, which he read: "Mr. Libbius Porter desires the prayers of the congregation, that his loss may be sanctified for his good." Signs of repressed merriment appeared through the congregation, but the cause was a complete mystery to the young minister, who upon arriving at the home of Mr. Fisk for lunch inquired of Mrs. Fisk the cause of the unseemly hilarity. She informed him he had read an old notice, used by her husband as a book-mark. It had been presented by Mr. Porter a year or two before, upon the death of his third wife. Mr. Porter, with his fourth bride, sat in the congregation while it was being read. Argentina. Argentina has millions more sheep than the United States has, and half as many grazing cattle. Its agricultural area is 250,000,000 acres—more than was taken up by our grain, cotton, tobacco and vegetable crops in 1900—but only about 5 per cent of this land is under cultivation.

Dutch Settlers Around Louisville Import 200 Pairs of Them. The very mention of the idea that wooden shoes are worn in and around Louisville seems a bit preposterous to the modern citizenship of this section, but they must be worn here abouts-for they are shipped here. Two hundred pairs of these unique specimens of footwear passed through the Louisville port yesterday. They came directly from Rotterdam, consigned to a local firm. The Hollanders are famous for making and wearing wooden shoes and never lose their desire for wearing them, even when they come to this country. Scattered around this section there is a pretty good sprinkle of these old-time Dutch, and they must have their wooden shoes. The shoes received yesterday will be disposed of to these foreign-born Dutch. The shoes are not only unique in their make, but are extremely light. They are worn mostly during the winter and in extreme wet weather. They are made of one piece of wood and there is no such thing as leak in them. There has been but slight change in their make for centuries.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Food Value of Eggs. Eggs consist of proteine, and fat, water and mineral matter. It is the proteine, or nitrogenous matter, that builds up and repairs the tissues of the body, while the fat supplies energy. The white of an egg is often said to be pure albumen, but it also contains phosphoric acid and sodium chloride or common salt. The yolk contains the fatty part of the egg, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. Eggs also contain sulphur, and this probably accounts for the dark stain left by an egg on silver, the sulphur coming in contact with the silver forming silver sulphide.—Medical Talk.

But the noble lad with his brilliant mind, Could patiently suffer and wait; He had faith in God, could trust his word, And lean on His promises, strong and great, He was never heard to sigh or com- plain, Though his once cherished hopes he knew were in vain. He loved to read of the sufferings of Christ, The afflictions of Job also; From them gained strength his bur- dens to bear This cloud that hung so low.

A Contrast Between To-day and Twenty-five Years Ago. Twenty-five years ago there was not a single school in central Africa. Today there are nearly 170 in the Livingstonia mission alone. Twenty-five years ago no one in central Africa knew a letter of the alphabet. Today there are more than 20,000 scholars in the schools, says the Southern Workman. Twenty-five years ago there was no Christian in all the country. To-day 300 native teachers preach Christ in the villages every Sabbath day. Twenty years ago there was but one inquirer after Christ. Last year there were more than 3,000 catechumens in the baptism classes, and in a single day, at one of the stations, more than 300 adults were received by baptism into the church of God. Up to 1890 slave caravans were as numerous as ever. To-day a strong British protectorate has made slave raiding impossible, and this much is certain, that if Christianity had not entered Nyasaland there would be no British administration there to-day, and central Africa would still be a land of darkness, of spoliation and of blood. Each week volunteer evangelists go out two by two from the mission. No pay is given them, but a few beads are usually furnished to enable them to buy food at the distant stations. To reach these the evangelists have to leave on Saturday afternoon, descend some 2,900 feet to the lake shore and walk from five to ten miles along rough broken paths to their destinations. They return on Monday in time for afternoon school. In this way sometimes not less than forty-four village services are held in a day. The Brogue. It is a pity some of our stage Irishmen do not discover Ireland, says the London Tattler. After a century or so of exploration among its green hills, conducted within a radius limited, say, to ten miles, we might expect to get from them a reasonably consistent reproduction of "the brogue." Perhaps I ought to say one of the many "brogues," for every county has its own, and some counties two or three. I once asked a Meath man what was the correct Irish brogue. "Arrah, me good man," he replied, "shure Oireland has a kish o' brogues." He did not add as he might have done that in his native country the standard of ignorance is to be "as ignorant as a kish o' brogues." Now, it has always seemed to me that the stage Irishman, unless he happens to be a recent importation himself, goes round in this country and from a variety of "exiles" picks up samples of the whole "kish" of Irish "brogues"—mostly adulterated with the Cockney ditto. From these he constructs a patchwork "brogue" of his own that no Irishman could mistake for "the real thing." Perhaps there is no reason why he should. The stage Irishman is not catering for Irishmen. Why Japanese Praise Emperor. When Japanese commanders announce a victory they never fail to ascribe their success to the "illustrious virtue of the emperor." According to a Japanese authority it is considered that this is no empty phrase, but has a sound basis in latter-day fact as well as in national tradition. While the emperor, as the "son of heaven," and as the 121st emperor of Japan in direct lineal descent, con- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. situtes for the Japanese the delegate of divine authority, his majesty in his own personality since his accession in 1868 has worthily prosecuted the beneficent objects which he then placed before the nation and has thereby enabled it to achieve what it has done in the comity of nations. On this basis, then, the Japanese reference to his majesty's "illustrious virtue" as responsible for all the national victories at once becomes intelligible: Jews in Russia. There are at present over 5,000,000 Jews in Russia. It is estimated that since the "Laws of May" more than 600,000 of them have been driven out of the villages and compelled to increase the overcrowding in the ghettos of the cities. The Beginning. "There," said the man who intended to become great, "I have finished my autobiography. It is full of anecdotes of an ordinary sort. Now I must get to work and do something so that the book will be a delight to cultured minus." Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal, the "holy sea," is, excepting Victoria Nyanza, in Africa, the largest lake in the Eastern hemisphere. It is 3,100 feet deep, its bottom being 1,600 feet below sea level, and in area corresponds to Lake Michigan. What He Wasn't There For. Some fifty years ago Justice William T. Spear was a well-known lawyer in Plymouth, Mass., and took great interest in town affairs, being always present at town meetings and speaking with point and force. On one occasion he arose in town meeting and began: "I am not here, Mr. Moderator—" Apparently confused, he hesitated a moment, and then began again: "I am not here, sir—" He paused again, and upon this a young man in the assembly cried out: "Tell us where you are, then!" Mr. Spear turned, and, shaking his finger at the young man, said: "I am not here, sir, to be barked at by every puppy that crawls into the town house." Then, turning to the moderator, he made an effective speech on the measure before the meeting. Authors Drop Their Titles. Authors have small need of the titles conferred upon them by royalty, since they rule by right divine of genius, and they are particularly courteous about using these titles in their dealing with the plain democratic world of letters in America. Sir Gilbert Parker, by his own wish, in answer to a cable from his publisher, appears as plain Gilbert Parker on his first novel published since his knighthood, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, when asked if he desired the "Sir" to appear on his title pages, said: "When the American people like me as I am why should I thrust a title in their democratic faces?"

"Imagine the case of a person who at different periods of his life was obliged to learn to spell all over again," said the professor. "I knew of such a man, not originally a poor speller, who was compelled thrice to take up the study of orthography. It happened in this way: "This friend of mine was reared in the country, attended the school, and acquired therein the necessary proficiency under the rules of the old-time teacher. As a matter of fact he learned to spell while standing. It was a curious fact that for many years that man could not spell some of the simplest words unless he stood up. On his feet, he was the best speller in the class, and acquired many a prize in the spelling 'bees.' There was not a pupil in those days who could 'turn him down,' when it came to an exercise in upright orthography. Then, years afterward, he had to learn to spell with a pencil. All his spelling talent went into his pencil. His tongue had lost its cunning, and whether standing or sitting he would miss the easiest words, unless he used his pencil. Finally, with the advent of the typewriter, he was obliged again to learn how to spell, this time with the machine. Queer thing, isn't it? Unless the word is a simple one, my friend's tongue refuses its aid, his pencil declines to afford its old-time help, and he is compelled to refer to the writing machine. And yet he's a good speller.—The Sunday Magazine. But Etiquette Hardly Applied. A. H. Hummel, the well known lawyer of New York, was talking, between the acts of a drama, about the leading woman. "Though her salary is large," said Mr. Hummel, "she is always hard up, always in debt, they say. "The other day I heard a story about her. A female bill collector called on her to try to get her to settle a bill for a sable coat. "'I am sorry,' she said to the collector, 'but I can't settle this bill at present.' "'Very well, madame. When shall I call again?' the collector asked. "Well,' said the actress, 'it would hardly be etiquette for you to call again until I have returned the present call.'" Eager to Honor Choate. For the farewell banquet to Mr. Choate, to be given at the mansion house, London, on Friday, May 5, one of the most distinguished gatherings will be present that ever assembled to do honor to a foreign diplomat. Among those who have accepted invitations are Mr. Balfour, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Rosebery, John Morley, Sir Henry Fowler, Mr. Bryce and the archbishops of Canterbury and York. Clubman Makes Distinction. Sir William Harcourt is said to have remarked, when he was offered a peerage: "I prefer to remain an English gentleman." It calls to mind the London clubman who put up a placard asking "the nobleman" who had taken his umbrella to return it. Asked why he thought a nobleman had taken it, he replied: "This club is for noblemen and gentlemen, and I am sure no gentleman took it." The most popular fiction writer in England is Silas K. Hocking, of whom little or nothing is known in the United States. He was once a Methodist minister. Senator Spooner's Conundrum. Senator Spooner has been getting a lot of fun out of a conundrum which was recently propounded to him. It is cleverer than most things of the kind and the senator enjoys trying it on others to see whether they will fail, as he did. This is the conundrum: "Which has more feet—one cat, or no cat?" Of course everybody gives it up, whereupon Mr. Spooner gives the answer: "No cat, of course. One cat bas four feet. No cat has five feet." Coincidence in Col. Pope's Life. Col. Percival C. Pope, who will be retired next month with the rank of brigadier general, was born in the Charlestown navy yard, where his mother's father was marine commandant. Oddly enough Col. Pope has been ordered to Charlestown navy yard to await his retirement. He entered the marine corps at the outbreak of the civil war and has served on a number of war vessels in many parts of the world. ForFine Tailoring GOOD FIT And Workmanship GO TO B.

Either call, Cy Young's' Greatest Battle. "Cy" Young was asked to name the greatest game in which he ever took part. "The eleven inning 0 to 0 Cleveland-Boston game in Cleveland at the close of the double season championship in 1892 was probably as good as any," said the rail splitter. "Jack Stivitt was the opposing pitcher, and we both went into the game bound that the other team should not score. We were both successful, though there were two or three men nipped at the plate. There was quite a lot of batting, but with men on bases both of us were practically unhittable. Yes, all things considered, that was the greatest game. I've pitched games in which I wasn't hit as freely, but none in which I worked harder or in which the excitement was greater." Zulu Prince Is Progressive. John L. Dube, whose father was a Zulu king, is in Boston trying to raise money with which to establish an industrial school in his native country. His father gave up the throne after he had become a Christian. The speaker was put in prison during the Boer war on the charge of inciting his people against the English, but declared that he favored the English, as the Boers looked on the Zulus more as slaves than as a free race. He attributed much of the success of the British to the aid given by the Zulu scouts. Democratic Congressman Honored. Congressman Goldfogle of New York presided over the house the other day for a short time. He was called to the speaker's desk by Representative Sherman, who was acting as chairman of the committee of the whole, to receive a message from the president. Democrats are seldom intrusted with the presiding officer's gavel by a republican majority. Mr. Goldfogle was applauded by both sides of the chamber. Early Use of Sugar Cane. Sugar cane was used as early as 325 B. C. It was forgotten afterward and did not come into common use in Europe until the seventeenth century. - Has Few Working Days.

The little nieces of Miss Patterson Clara and Beatrice Montgomery, who spent the winter in Pueblo, have returned for the summer. Mesdames C. L. Reed of Denver and Stuart of Woshington, D.

Mrs. Morgan Stokes of Denver, Mrs Hines and Master Earl Jackson spent Sunday at Jackson's Resort. Mesdames R. M. Horn and F. Ling ham spent Sunday in Denver visiting their brother. A decidedly novel entertainment known as the Dude and Guessing Social, under the auspices of the Ladies Sewing Circle, was given last Thursday evening at the church. It created much merriment for the young men. A dainty juncheon was served by the committee, and the ladies realized a neat sum. Mrs. Horn chaperoned a Surprise party Monday night in honor of Mrs. Hannah Moore. All had a delightful time. Gilbert McCarroll has opened a shining parlor on 12th St. which bids fair to succeedd.

EDITOR STATESMAN:Permit me space in your paper to say that I have made the third round on the Denver District and can say that the work in general is in fair condition. I se by the newspapers that the Crow Blackfoot and Flathead Reservations are to be thrown open for settlement within the next year, and our people should not lose this opportunity of getting homes. Bishop A. Grant is encouraging the emigration of our people from Texas and other portions of the South to the West and Northwest. Those coming from the southern counties should come by the way of the Colorado and Southern, whose employees will give them all the necessary comforts in their power to make the journey a pleasant one, and those going into Utah and Idaho should go over the D. & R. G. Railroad, the old est established road in the West. The company well knows how to make thing pleasant for its passengers. In going to the Northwest into Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana, take the Burlington, which has established a record for furnishing their passengers with firstclass accommodations. On returning home I stopped off at Sheridan, Wyo., and organized an A. M. E. Church with eight members. Rev. Hawkins is in charge of the work and will no doubt be in a house of worship by the time conference meets. We may expect great things from this charge. I see the influence of THE STATESMAN is still increasing in the West extra copies being constantly in demand. JORDAN ALLEN, P. E. RICH MAN'S STORMY LIFE. Business Success, but Little Happiness in Claus Spreckels' Career. Claus Spreckels, greatest of the sugar barons, is 76 years old, and Pacific coast estimates put his wealth at $100,000,000. A poor immigrant, he started out in life with no capital beyond a large stock of German thrift, rugged health and a nose for the almighty dollar. He has had enough family troubles to kill ten ordinary men, strife eternal with sons, daughter, son-in-law and brother-in-law. He kept his daughter under such restraint that she never had opportunity to make acquaintance of desirabile young men. An old fellow was invited to the Spreckels palace to entertain her and him she married. Much enhappiness was the result. Claus raged. The ill-mated couple went to London to live. Finally the husband died and the pretty widow is now one of the greatest catches in England. The Indifferent Bridegroom. The absence of all conventionalities and restrictions in Labrador is also very refreshing. A peripatetic minister was called on at a place known as Spotted Islands to marry a couple who were awaiting a chance for the ceremony. The bridegroom was an elderly man who was a kind of king in the place. When the minister arrived at the island he found all the islanders assembled in the little schoolroom awaiting him. It was not till he actually entered the building that he discovered the bride was the deceased wife's sister. This being a forbidden relationship, he refused to proceed, whereupon the intending bridegroom quietly remarked: "Never mind, master. One of these others will do." So, turning to the expectant crowd, he selected a suitable partner, and she being willing, "all went as gayly as a marriage bela"—Dr. Grenfell, in Leslie's Monthly Magazine. Compete with American Cotton. Vagaries of the cotton market in this country have stimulated the cultivation of cotton in various parts of the British empire, and Russia also for years past has been endeavoring to render her mills independent of the United States. Russian experiments have been carried on in the district of Kokand, the most fertile and bestwatered part of Central Asia. A large proportion of the Zarafshan valley is now under cotton, raised chiefly from American seed. The seed is sown in April and toward the end of September the ripe pods are picked and exposed in heaps for sale. In average years an acre yields 1,400 pounds and gives a net return of $27.50, considerably more than other crops. Several years ago there were 45,000 acres under cotton, but the prospects for ex- tending the crop are not encouraging the area of the land suitable for cotton raising being limited in extent. Professor Bears Honors Modeatly. Professor Bears Honors Modestly. For one of the greatest discoveries of the age Prof. Roentgen, who found the rays which bear his name, is more than ordinarily modest. He has never been banqueted, and he has several times refused large sums to write a book on the subject of what he never denominated otherwise than "a new kind of ray." "Don Quixote."

Three centuries past, in sunburned Spain And hang, on Time's Pantheon wall, My motive tablet to recall That lasting gain! —Austin Dobson in Cornhill Magazine. Sunflower Seeds In Russia. A traveler says that one of the first things which struck him on his arrival in Russia was the enormous quantity of sunflower seed consumed in that country. The seeds, which are oleaginous and have an agreeable taste, are constantly chewed by the people. The outer husk is detached with the teeth and spat out. These husks are seen scattered about on pavements and garden walks, in railway carriages, tramway cars and cabs, on the floors of restaurants and private rooms. On days of public festivity the ground everywhere is covered with them. At every street corner a brisk trade is done in the seeds by old women. Our Saints. Our Saints. From the eternal shadow rounding, All unsure and starlight here, Voices of our lost ones sounding, Bid us be of heart and cheer, Through the silence, down the spaces, falling on the inward ear. Know we not our dead are looking Downward, as in sad surprise, All our strife of words rebuking With their mild and earnest eyes? Shall we grieve the holy angels, shall we cloud their blessed skies? Let us draw their mantles o'er us, Which have fallen in our way; Let us do the work before us Calmly, bravely, while we may, Ere the long night-silence cometh, and with us it is not day! —John G. Whittler. THE SCHOLAR The obligation of a married woman, not a free trader, to pay for goods which form part of a stock in trade with which she is carrying on business, which may, in equity, be enforced against her separate estate, is held, in MacDonald vs. Tefft-Weller Co. (C. C. App. 5th C.), 65 L. R. A. 106, to be a "debt," within the meaning of the clause of the bankruptcy act relating to involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. A legacy to a particular church of which testator is a member is held, in Gladding vs. St. Matthew's church (R. I.), 65 L. R. A. 225, to lapse with the termination of the church's existence and not to be capable of administration cy pres, although the church was for the benefit of deaf mutes and the work in their behalf is carried on by the corporation into which the legatee was consolidated, where there is nothing to indicate that the continuation of the work rather than the church itself was the object of the testator's bounty. The recovery by the next of kin on a policy upon the life of one murdered by the beneficiary named in the policy is held, in Supreme Lodge, K. of L. of H. vs. Menkhausen (Ill.), 65 L. R. A. 508, not to be forbidden by public policy. The public by laying out a highway is held, in Bigelow vs. Whitecomb (N. H.), 65 L. R. A. 676, not to acquire a right to prevent the owner of the fee from removing and applying to his own use timber standing therein, which the public may desire to preserve for shade or ornamentation. Persons sued for the search of a citizen's house without a warrant are held, in McClurg vs. Brenton (Iowa), 65 L. R. A. 519, to be entitled to prove the presence of bloodhounds in the searching party, and the use made of them, as bearing upon the question of "Even in Dreams." "We must have overslept," said Mrs. Blinks, sitting up in bed. "John!" she called, shaking him by the shoulder, "get up—it's awfully dark this morning. Raise the blin'." John rubbed his eyes sleepily. In his dreams he caught her concluding words and muttered scornfully: "Raise the blind? On a king high? Well, I guess not!" And his snores continued where they had been interrupted. Decoration for Education. A Turkish newspaper announced recently, in recording various honors conferred on deserving soldiers of the Sultan that Capt. All Rira Agha, of the zouave regiment of the imperial guard, had received the title of effendi for having learned to read and write. Seedless Apples Are High. The first two seedless apples received from Colorado were sold in London at Covent Garden for thirty shillings each. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS malice; but the right to introduce evidence as to the breeding and training of the hounds is held to be inadmissable. A condition in a deed of a small parcel of land that no grain shall ever be handled on the land granted, which contains no facilities for handling grain at the time of the grant, is held, in Wakefield vs. Van Tassell (Ill.), 65 L. R. A. 511, not to be unreasonable or contrary to public policy. A contract named by one as executrix in a will that, in consideration of the withdrawal of opposition to its probate, she will distribute money which comes into her hands as executrix as fast as a certain sum shall accumulate, is held, in Painter vs. Kaiser (Nev.), 65 L. R. A. 672, to be enforceable against the promisor in her individual capacity. The right of one who, while in the employ of another, finds upon the latter's premises money evidently hidden and forgotten by an unknown owner, to maintain an action of trover against his employer, where the latter takes the money out of his possession and refuses to restore it, is sustained in Danielson vs. Roberts (Or.), 65 L. R. A. 526. The business of pretending to heal absent patients by supernatural powers without medicine or surgery is held, in Weltmer vs. Bishop (Mo.), 65 L. R. A. 584, to be fraudulent, and not protected by the law against libel, although many persons claimed to have been benefited by the treatment. A municipal corporation is held, in Canton vs. Canton Cotton Warehouse Co. (Miss.), 65 L. R. A. 561, to have no such title to the fee of its streets as entitles it to claim compensation from a railroad company which, by virtue of a legislative franchise, occupies a portion of a street for a crossing. The Strange Part of It. "An English woman, supposed to be dead," so a veracious contemporary reports, "arose while the undertaker was measuring her for a shroud, and asked him if he thought she would be caught dead with a garment that didn't fit better than that." The improbable thing about this is that English women should so object to being caught dead in ill-fitting garments, though they seem to make a point of wearing that sort of apparel when living. Pretty Dining Table Idea. A pretty device that has been greatly admired may be seen in the dining room of an English dowager. It is nothing more or less than a glass table. The top is transparent glass, set in woodwork painted white and gold, and the idea is to illuminate it from beneath at will, the lights being so arranged that they shine upward through the ferns or orchids or beauty roses, or whatever it is the table is decorated with Half the profound truths one hears are spoken entirely by mistake. Up in the Virginia hills is a small hotel, or large boarding house, whichever you like to call it, where the air and scenery 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' followers hankered for the fleshpots. A Washington woman, who is own sister to Mrs. Parkington, is staying up there. She sat on the gallery one day last week, and this is what she said: "It's a lovely place, but it has one drawback—there are no felicities for bathing here."—Washington Post. Vale. I am not fair, But you have thought me so And with a crown I go More rich than beauty's wear. I am not brave, But fear has made me so And dread lest I forego The honor that you gave. I am not wise, But you loved wisdom so That what I did not know I learnt it in your eyes. I am not true, But you have trusted That I faithfully go Lest I be false to you. If heaven I win, I can no virtue show But that you loved me so. Will they let me in? —Ethel Clifford. "Songs of Dreams."

Pope Leo X. is credited with having administered a most appropriate rebuke upon a presuming visionary who pretended to have discovered the philosopher's stone and demanded a recompense therefor. His Holiness presented the discoverer with an empty purse. "The true possessor of the philosopher's stone," said the Pope, "is the miner, whose iron, copper or tin are always convertible into more precious metals. Agriculture is the noblest of all alchemy, for it turns the common earth into gold and confers upon its cultivator the additional reward of health." ENGRAVING FOR ALL PURPOSES THE APP SUTHERLAND CO.

A German paper states that during the month of November the number of unemployed persons increased largely in France and England, especially in the latter country, where in thirty-five municipal districts 390,822 persons were out of work or in want. The number of unemployed working people in the city of London is estimated to be over 200,000. In many trades wages have been reduced. Subscriptions are being raised in London to provide food for the poor and unemployed. The high prices of bread and meat make the condition of the working classes all the harder. A recent interpellation in the French Chamber of Deputies has produced the statement that in 1904 there were about 10 per cent fewer people employed in France than during the year before. The Big Smoke. "While I have hitherto sworn off smoking, as a New Year's pledge which has never been kept," said a Universalist minister at the Jewelers' club dinner in Chicago a year or two ago, "this night, with a beautiful smoking set as a souvenir, has brought to me the determination to make a new pledge that I can keep—to smoke as long as I live." William Porter Williams was the toastmaster. He had been considerably scratched at by the Universalist brother. When the minister was seated Mr. Williams said: "When I reflect upon the uncharitableness of my brother in what he said about me, I am constrained to wonder why, in making that resolution to smoke as long as he lived, he necessarily drew the line at his death."—"The After Dinner Speakers," Everybody's Magazine. His "Big Seguit." Little Harry's affection for his old grandmother is all that the affection of a child should be for a grandparent. One morning when he was "snuggling" in her bed he put his plump little arms around her neck and said: "Gramma, I'll tell you a big sequit if you won't ever tell anybody in all the world." Having bound herself to secrecy and even "crossed her heart," the old lady was made the recipient of the following confidence: "Well, gramma, some day I'm going to get married to—you can't guess who." "No, I'm afraid I cannot." "To—you, gramma!"—Lippincott's. The New Society. "Quite a bunch of famous women are meeting in the parlors of the hotel to-day," said the clerk to the reporter. "There are Mrs. Lampwick, who broke the banks of Ohio; Miss Scatterson, who caused the jury to disagree; Miss Fluke, the celebrated grass widow, and eight or ten others who have figured in the sensational news items during the last two years." "What are they discussing?" asked the reporter, getting his pencil ready for use. "They's organizing the Society of the Sorehead Sisters." Submarine Toys.

Graham McDaniel also distinguished himself in a creditable manner at first base. Tuesday at high noon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs T. E. Gray, a very pretty wedding was solemnized, Rev. J C. Bell officiating. The contracting parties were Mr. C. E. McGruder and Mrs. Hattie Pitts of Denver They were accompanied by Mr. J. Dozi-r and Miss Maud Carrie also of Denver, who acted as witnesses. The party returned on the afternoon train. A very interesting and entertaining entertainment was given last Thursday and under the management of Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, proved to be one of the best ever presented to the people of Cheyenne. The feature of the program was an oratorical contest and the judges awarded their decision in favor of Mrs. Landor, subject, "The Soul of the Violin," first; Nellie R. Smith, second; Mrs. O. R. Redd, third. The ladies quartet, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Landor and Miss Lena Hopkins, was heartily encored.

"I suppose there comes to every man a desire to do something smart on an occasion," said the drummer, as a sigh took the place of his smile. "Well, such a desire came to me as I was leaving a certain Southern city after a week's stay. The waiter at my table had called me 'Gineral' and been at great pains to care for me, and I made up my mind to reward him with a $5 bill. It was a counterfeit with which I had been stuck, but I thought it would be the biggest kind of a joke to work off on Bob. "I had got 100 miles away when I was arrested on a telegram for passing counterfeit money, and when taken back I was arraigned in a United States court and had to give bail and appear on three different occasions. I had a lawyer and other expenses, lost a good three weeks altogether and just escaped prison by the skin of my teeth. In addition to this I had to make good to the waiter, who sorrowfully shook his head when he received the money and said: "I'ze sorry for you, General, but dis may be de means of savin' your contemptible soul from the gallus!"— Chicago News. BATTLED TO KEEP WARM. Personal Combat Alone Saved Two Soldiers From Freezing. There are various ways of keeping oneself from becoming benumbed by the cold, but perhaps not the least remarkable is that adopted by two soldiers of the first regiment on duty in a fortress on the Italian-French frontier on Mont Cenis. While going off duty toward their barracks they lost their way in a snowstorm, and when found by their comrades they were in a pitiful condition. On being carried to their barracks they related how they had struggled for two days against the blizzard, and in order to keep themselves awake, and to counteract the effects of the cold, they unceasingly struck one another. At times they fought stubbornly for hours on end, which explained the reason for the exhausted state in which they were found. Smiths Out for Office. Three citizens of Wilkesbarre, Pa. have announced themselves as candidates for mayor. They are: George Smith, Marcus Smith and Oscar Smith, neither being related to either of the other two. Hard Work. "Back from your vacation, <h> I suppose you'll find your work harder than ever now." "That's what!" replied the clerk. "I've got ten flancees to correspond with."

Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines. Show yourself a race lover by patronizing them. Be a booster. Saltness of Dead Sea. Mr. Ackroyds, in his report of the Palestine exploration fund, says that the saltness of the Dead Sea can not be fully explained by the accumulation of salt from Palestine rocks or by its originally being an arm of the Red sea. He produces evidences to show that it is largely from the atmospheric transportation of salt from the Mediterranean. Deadly Sleeping Sickness. One peculiarity of the sleeping sickness, which is causing much havoc among the natives of Uganda, is that for a year or longer the victim may seem perfectly well, and often the disease makes itself first known by unthe patient, who, instead of sleeping, due signs of exaltation on the part of is very much awake. Objects to Sending Paupers. A bishop whose diocese includes one of the slum districts of London, protested at a charity organization meeting against sending any of the "unemployed" to Canada. He declared that they had neither brains nor tenacity or character to contribute to any industry in which they might be engaged. Criminality of Professors. A French professor has been inquiring into the comparative criminality of the professions. He finds that the conviction for every 100,000 of each are as follows: Lawyers, 100; artists. Fairty-three; doctors, twenty-five; lay teachers, nineteen; clerical teachers, seven; Catholic clergy, four. To Clean Smoky Walls. Brush the walls well, then wash with a strong solution of pearl ash and rinse at once with clear water. Then give the walls when dry a thin coat of fresh slaked lime, with considerable alum dissolved in hot water added. After this has dried apply whiting and good size. Happy West Indian Babies. The West Indian negroes allow their abies to romp about in the open air all day long, almost, if not entirely limbs as much as they like, and it doesn't matter how dirty they get. Consequently they are the happiest babies in the world. QUICK ARREST. J. A. Gulledge of Verbena, Ala., was twice in the hospital from a severe case of piles causing 24 tumors.

The Vernon Literary is fast becoming one of the leading institutions of learning in the city, and if the talent of which it is composed continues to improve, the world will have to give them a hearing some day. The jealous critic cannot stop them if they are made of the right metal. As a general rule jealous critics have no record of proof from any source that would justify them in criticising people who can do far better than they. Let us encourage those who take part in the programs by saying that your critics should be the cause of you studying the harder to succeed. Don't give up, as nearly all of our great men both colored and white have come from obscurity to be leaders of men and makers of modern thought. So can you become leaders if you are made of the right metal. James Anderson and Wm. Jordan left last Tuesday for Colorado Springs They were industrious young men and we were sorry to have them leave. Mrs. C. Wells left Wednesday for Chicago, where she expects to reside. Simon Baker and wife after a stay of about a year in our city, left quite suddenly for their home in Philadelphia. Gus Hoard the hucksterer, sold his business last week. He expects to leave in short time for California. We find too many of our young men falling over themselves in a mad scramble looking for a job. Too many of them become satisfied with a mere job.

SALT REVIVED FROZEN FLY. Result of Experiment Surprised Everyone But the Host. The host, a prominent banker and society man, made the announcement that it was possible to bring a fly to life again after the latter had been on ice for some time, and was seemingly ready for the coroner's verdict "frozen to death." Naturally every one laughed at what appeared to them to be a wild yarn of the imagination. There was only one thing for the host to do, so he promptly bet all the guests that he could bring a frozen fly to life, and the guests were eager to wager that he couldn't. A maid was sent for some ice, and by careful maneuvering she also managed to catch three flies. The host took one of the flies, placed it between two big chunks of ice, with another chunk over the top, and there the fly was left to cool off. A little ter the fly was removed from t' and placed on a piece of cardbo d there was no doubt in the m the guests that the fly was frozen stiff, for there was not the slightest movement of either the wings or legs. The host carefully covered the fly with table salt, and then told the eager watchers to keep a close watch. Five minutes went by, but there was not the slightest movement from the salt, and the guests made all manner of fun of their host. Eight minutes had passed, and then, to the extreme wonderment of all, except the host, the fly crawled out of the pile, and, after walking about the table and getting rid of the salt, flew away. And the host was vindicated.—Philad. hia Press. A SURE THING. It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. 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. Va., says "I had a severe case of Bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of; but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely."

The open season for deer in New York closed with a remarkable hunt by Sam Van Inwegan, Will Crane and Ed Van Inwegan, accompanied by the teran hunter, Zeke Rosecrance of big pond. They had failed to bag anything when they heard the report of Rosenrance's gun in the distance. They hurried to the spot and found the old man lying on his back rubbing his head. His gun had almost kicked the life out of the hunter. They had failed to bag anything when 100 feet away standing at a tree. All raised their guns to fire, when the old man said: "Boys, that buck is just waiting for me, he won't run away." Rosencrance informed them he had nailed the buck to the tree. "You see," he said, "I never use nothing to hunt with but hoss and shingle nails, and that buck passed the tree just as I fired." The hunters examined the deer, and, sure enough, the nails used by Rosencrance had passed directly through its body, nailing it fast to the tree. Its skin is on exhibition at Gregg Porter's livery stable with the marks of the nail holes in his skin.—New York World. Nubian Whistling Tree. Among the curiosities of tree life is the sofar, or whistling tree, of Nubla. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out flute-like sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. Reminiscence of Douglass against slavery when there is a rea- sonable hope of success. Men who live by robbing their fellowmen of their labor and liberty, have forfeited their right to know anything of the thoughts, feeling or purposes of those whom they rob and plunder. They have by the single act of slave-holding, voluntarily placed themselves beyond the laws of justice and honor, and have become fitted for companionship with thieves and pirates—the common enemy of God and all mankind. While it shall be considered right to protect one's self against thieves, burglars, robbers and assassins, and to slay a wild beast in the act of devouring his human prey, it can never be wrong for the imbruted and whip-scarred slaves or their friends to hunt, harrass or even strike down the traffickers in human flesh. If any one is disposed to think less of me on account of this sentiment, or because I may have had a knowledge of what was about to occur, and did not assume the base and detestable character of an informer, he is a man whose good or bad opinion of me may be equally repugnant and despicable. Entertaining this sentiment I may be asked why I did not join John Browa, the noble old hero whose one right hand has shaken the foundation of the American union, and whose ghost will haunt the bed-chambers of all the born and unborn slave holders of Virginia, through all their generations, filling them with alarm and consternation. My answer to this has already been given, at least impliedly given, "The tools to those who can use them." Let every man work for the abolition of slavery in his own way. I would help all and hinder none. My position in regard to the Harper's Ferry insurrection may be easily inferred from these remarks, and I shall be glad if those papers which have spoken of me in connection with it, would find room for this statement. I have no apology for keeping out of the way of those gentlemanly United States Marshals, who are said to have paid Rochester a somewhat protracted visit lately with a view of an interview with me. A government recognizing the validity of the Dred Scott decision at such a time as this is not likely to have very charitable feelings towards me. And if I am to meet its representatives I prefer to do so at least upon equal terms. If I have committed any offense against society I have done so on the soil of New York and I should be perfectly willing there to be arraigned before an impartial jury; but I have quite insuperable objections to be caught in the hands of Mr. Buchanan and bagged by Governor Wise. For this appears to be the arrangement—Bu- chanan does the fighting and hunting and Wise bags the game. Some reflections may be made upon my leaving on a tour to England just at this time. I have only to say that my going to that country has been rather delayed than hastened by the insurrection at Harper's Ferry. All know that I intended to leave here in the first week in November.

Justice Scott of the supreme court in Manhattan has handed down what probably is the shortest decision ever put on record in that court. Mrs. Celia Schlessinger is suing Adolph Schlessinger for a limited divorce, for an allowance of $250 a week allmony pending the determination of her action and a counsel fee of $1,500 to enable her to prosecute the suit. "Denied," Justice Scott wrote on the papers, and Mrs. Schlessinger must continue her suit without either alimony or counsel fee. Mrs. Schlessinger is known as "The Queen of Diamonds" of the East Side and is wealthy. DENVER DOINGS. Our Collector is about. Prepare for him. Those out of town please remit by mail.
