THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. STATE LEAGUE MEETS Notable Gathering This Week of Business Men of the State. VOL. XV. The Negroes of Colorado made their first attempt at State organization on Tuesday when delegates assembled in Shorter Church to organize the Colorado State Negro Business League. The attendance was all that could have been hoped for. A goodly number being present from the three large cities of the State, and a few from other places. The personnel of the organizers was representative of the best we have. The lawyers, doctors, business and political wheelhorses laid aside their private cares for the once and united to make business more successful among us. Delegates began arriving Monday, the Colorado Springs delegation being the most numerous. Pueblo delegates were resplendent in gold and purple badges. The first session was called to order Tuesday afternoon by Temporary Chairman J. H. Jackson of Colorado Springs. After invocation by Rev. Dyett, a song and the appointment of committees, Dr. W. A. Jones, on be DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1905 half of the People's Sunday Alliance, gave a welcome address. He was followed by C. A. Franklin, who spoke on behalf of the Press. J. R. Jackson, of the Paris City Cleaning Works, addressed the meeting on behalf of the business men of Denver. The speakers were well received and in reply, George G. Ross, the brilliant young speaker of Colorado Springs, used surpassing rhetoric and convincing logic thanking Denver for her hospitality. The best paper read before the League, at least the one which excited the most interest, was the one on "Farming Interests," by George W. Gross of Rocky Ford. As a disquisition on the possibilities of beet culture it could not have been improved upon. It was invaluable as showing what Negroes of moderate means could accomplish by turning attention to the farm, rather than to city life. Charles S. Muse, of the Colorado Springs Western Enterprise, spoke on the "Negro as an Editor." The evening session was spent with State Historian & Natural History Society the Eureka Literary Society in its closing session. The upstairs auditorium was packed with visitors, delegates and members of the society. A sight reading contest was the order of the evening. In it Miss Carrie Joseph was winner of the first prize, and Miss Virgie Webster of the second. Lively interest was manifested and creditable showing made by the other contestants. Wednesday morning came the election of officers. Those elected were: W. E. Gladden, Colorado Springs, president; first, second and third vice presidents, G. W. Gross of Rocky Ford, Mrs. Ida De Priest of Denver and Dr. S. A. Huff of Pueblo; recording secretary, W. A. Gatewood, Pueblo; corresponding secretary, Colorado Springs; treasurer, W. A. Jones, Denver; state organizer, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson; executive committee, J. W. Jackson, W. C. Blackwell and W. W. S. Dyett, all of Denver, W. H. Hopper, Eastonville, John H. Jackson and H. D. Earle, Colorado Springs, Dr. Bray, Pueblo, C. E. Jackson, Aspen, and G. C. Sample of Denver. J. W. Jackson of Denver was elected delegate to attend the national convention of the League to be held in Boston in August. Drs. Spratlin and Coffey of Denver, and Grant of Colorado Springs, were on the afternoon program on subjects connected with their profession. Miss Gertrude Nichols of Denver and Professor McGruder of Colorado Springs spoke on music; Lawyer Tilden of Denver on law and Dr. Faulkner on "The Negro Druggist." George C. Sample of the Golden Chest Mining and Milling Company, made an interesting talk on mining, and aroused the interest of the audience by his clear statement of the work already done and the possibility of his company's mine. Dr. E. W. Lampton of the financial department of the A. M. E. connection was made an honorary member of the League the first day and in short addresses in the afternoon and evening of the second day gave such evidences of his power as an orator that won him a place in the hearts of all hear- MAN. NEW MEXICO. NO.46 The evening session Wednesday was made memorable by the presence of Congressman Bonynge, and Mayor Speer, who delivered addresses. Both were applauded frequently. The absence of Fred R. Moore, national organizer, caused the reply to devolve upon Dr. Lampton, who made it in his usual good style. The closing event was the banquet held downstairs, over which C. A. Franklin presided as toastmaster. The speakers were W. A. Gatewood of Pueblo; B. W. Fields of Denver; Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson of Colorado Springs. A paper by O. T. Jackson of Boulder, read by J J. Manuel of Denver, and J. H. Jackson of Colorado Springs. The lady carried off the honors, though all were good and well received. Socially it was one of the greatest banquets ever given in Denver though the service was so poor as to cast a damper over the pleasure of the guests. Those present were: Miss Lizzie Gleaves, Pueblo; Mr. Clay, Colorado Springs; Miss Nettie Work, Miss Addie Work, Hattie Williams, B. W. Fields, P. W. Walker, Sarah Jackson, Frederick Jackson, Mrs. U. G. Brown, U. G. Brown, Mrs. Harrison, J. H. Caldwell, J. M. Tilden, B. S. Curtis, J. J. Manuel, J. W. Jackson, W. A. Jones, Charles Burton, Rev. Douglass, J. J. Leftridge, C. H. Hall, Mrs. A. Crummer, S. H. Tarbet, Mrs. Tarbet, R. J. Vondeckersohn, Miss M. Thirckle, all of Denver; W. E. Gladden, Dr. Grant, L. L. McGruder, J. H. Jackson, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, Mrs. C. E. Fleming, Eugene P, Booze, C. S. Muse, H. D. Earl, all of Colorado Springs; Miss Pearl G. Lampton, of Washington, D. C.; George W. Gross, Rocky Ford; Mrs. J. W. Jackson, Nannie Kink, Mr. and Mrs. T.

Observant Man Advises Waiting Untli * After Breakfast. “It's curious, you know, it really is.“ said a returned summer boarder, “what effect a good square meal wil} have on the imaginatioz. “We arrived at tho end of a long roailroad journey, on our way to where we were to spend the summer, at 5<o'clock in the morning. Then we took}a stage and rode miles further overs a hilly road, in the chilly morm ing air to one end of a, lake. where we ‘took a steamboat and rode some mor? miles to our final destination, ar- riving there at 7 a. m. “Seen under such circumstances, after being routed out of bed at 4 o. m., and before breakfast, the scenery was disappointing. The lake seemea not much bigger than a good-sized mill pond, the trees were all stunted and the mountains were not much bigger than hills, and we were inclin- ed to take a sioomy view of things, and in that frame we remained until, at 7:36, the tocsin sounded and we went in for breakfast. “That was a good breakfast, with everything well cooked and admirably served, ard with particularly excel- lent coffee, and we had the appetites of hungry mules and lingered !ong. “When we had again come out thy sun was shining and the lake had been enlarged by four acres at least; each individual tree of all the innumerabia thousands that everywhere fringed the lake's shores and rose upward on tts mountainous sides had g-own forty feet, and the mountains themselves now climbed to the sky. ‘it was all noble and restful and beautiful; and so it remained, grow- ing on us all the time as long as we were there. “Hereafter i shall never pass judg- ment on scenery till after breakfast.” —New York Sun. ORCHIDS COST HUMAN LIVES. Dangers of Hunting for Beautiful Plants Are Great. Flenkes MIC Uwrtel. It is said that 2,000 different spe- cies of orchids have been d‘scovered and introduced to ctvilization. A re- cent investigator into the history of this plant, according to the Detroit News-Tribune, says that one human life has been sacrificed to each spect- men of this flower. Orchids. flourieh in the most deadly swamps of Mexico, in the torrid and malarial districts of the Indies, in the Brazilian forests and in places infested by pestilence, fierce animals and fiercer tribes of savages, some of which believe that the orchid is an object of veneration, to tamper with which means certain death if caught. One of the most beautiful of all cr chids, an exquisite white flower of the Sobralia genus, was actually discov- ered in a fastness of the mountains on an altar on which human beings had recently been sacrificed. This was a grewsome enough place of discovery, but it has a paraliel in the case of another equally lovely flower which was discovered wreathed around human bones exposed in a na- tive cemetery in New Guinea. So firm- ly were some of the plants attached to the bones that they could not be remored and one was actually brought to England growing in the inside of a human skull. Of elght hunters who went to Mexico to hunt orchids seven lost their lives within a yoar and the sole survivor returned with bis health ruined, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. | civen coop ossecr Lesson, | a Amateur MucesnConginced rie | | Were Limitations to Liberty. | A aan 4 @ Timothy L. Woodruff, in discussing New York state politics privately with a friend some time ago, and referring to the Platt-Odell feud, told the fol- lowing story: “There was a young man,” he said, “who lived in a Harlem flat. He was always blowing his own horn. He was trying to master the blows and stops of a cornet, much to the annoyance of his neighbors. Out of patiegce one night, from loss of sleep, the man in the flat above him rushed down in his nightrobe and, knocking on his door, exclaimed: . “‘For heaven's sake, man, don’t you Imow that you are destroying the peace of the neighborhood.” “‘None of your business,’ came the voice from within. ‘I pay for this flat and I am going to do as I choose in it? “His infuriated neighbor went up stairs, resolving to get square. He stuffed all the stops in the basins and bathrooms, turned on the water full force, and then went to bed. It was but a short time before the half- drowned cornetist banged at his door. “Come in,’ replied the man higher up. And the enthusiastic bugler saw a figure in the bed attired in its nightshirt, with a fishpole in his hand, a line floating in a foot of water on the floor. “‘Good heavens, man! Don't you know that you are flooding the house?’ he shouted. *® “‘None of your business,’ said the man reclining against the brace of pillows. ‘It’s my flat, and I can do just as I choose in it.’”—New York Times. SEES WIT IN OTHERS. | ous of His Rival’s Work. Few would suspect, when reading Henry Wallace Phillips’ virile stories of the West, that he is an Easterner born and bred. Yet such is the case. After years of roughing it in the far West Mr. Phillips recently returned to his old home at Richmond, Staten Island, married his next-door neighbor and is living in the house oceupied by his father and grandfather before him—a peaceful and prosaic climax to the “wild life” of his early youth. It is often said that professional hu- morists are deeply serious people in private life and never read one an- other’s work. This is not the case with Mr. Phillips. Discussing current lit- erature with a friend recently, he said: “How deadly tiresome, flat and in- ane the serious effort seems! I’ve just finished reading ‘Lady Rose's Daugh- ter,’ and what do I care? There isn't anything in the book that most of us haven't thought as much about as we wanted to. When I read ‘Mr. Doo- ley,’ or ‘O, Henry,’ my heart is lifted up. I am a better and a wiser man, When I read the otifer stuff I quarrel with my wife.” . Clubman Makes Distinction. Sir William Harcourt is said to have remarked, when he was offered a peerage: “I prefer to remain an Eng- lish 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 {s for noblemen and gentlemen, and I am sure no gentleman took it,” ion! 4 Attention! “The Statesman” We want to call your attention to : our Job Printing Department.

One day a midship- ‘man, whom he had sent ashore went @ trifle beyond the instructions given him. Beresford chided him sharply, saying, “When you receive an order, sir, do simply what you are told to do, and never a particle more or less.” The midshipman iouched his cap re- spectfully, but he thought the rebuke uncalled for, and bided his time for getting even. A few days later Beres- ford summoned him and said, “You will take a boat, sir, and go ashore to the postoffice, and see if there is a package there for me.” The midship- man took the boat and went ashore, When he returned Beresford asked, “Well, sir, was there a package for me at the postoffice?” “Yes, sir,” re- plied the midshipman, touching his cap. “Where is it?” “At the post- office, sir.” “What! you*didn’t bring it with you?” “No, sir.” “Why not, sir?” “Because I had no orders to do so, sir.” “I told you to get the pack- age.” “Beg pardon, sir, but I under- stood you to tell me merely to see if there was a package for you at the postoffice, and I could not venture to do a particle more nor less than my instructions indicated.” Beresford looked just then as if he would have liked to eat up that midshipman, be cause he kuew the middy had gat a Excuse for Getting Drunk. A London magistrate has discov- ered the occasion on which a man may become Intoxicated without dis- grace, This is when he visits a den- tist who does not provide an anes- thetic. Number of Visible Stars. “If we ask a person to estimate tho number of stars on a clear night,” says Houzeau, “we shall have an ex- ageerated answer, the actual number only being a little over 3,000."

Expert Traces Intemperance to Improper Feeding. "There is a cause for the drink habit which even good Christian parents do not understand," says a writer in What to Eat. "They cannot realize why their children, with beautiful surroundings and daily Christian influences, sometimes go far astray, becoming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall haxe exhausted all other efforts to locate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all probability, find the source of the evil. From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of their digestive organs. As soon as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill of fare. These, as well as the other articles of food, are necessarily swallowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentation sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irritable, quick tempered, untruthful, and it would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood." --- Unfamiliarity with the jargon of the army and a too close contemplation of the bill of fare led one of the Savannah soldiers into an amusing mistake at the Manassas maneuvers. Monday afternoon militiamen from Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York came into the company streets of the Second Georgia. The visitors were chatting with the Georgia boys, when one of the Massachusetts men inquired: "How did you like the hike this morning?" "We didn't have anything like that for our breakfast," spoke up one of the Savannah boys who was longing for the good eating at home.—Savannah (Ga.) News. The Kink That Won't Come Back.

The May Pole Drill at St. John's Church last Tuesday evening was a nice affair and brought out a good crowd. The cantata, "The Two Ways," will be repeated Monday night at Payne Chapel for the benefit of the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor. This popular cantata, under the direction of Mrs. Tillman, was witnessed by a large audience upon its presentation a short time ago and was pronounced one of the best ever rendered in this THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO city. Monday night marked the close ear the most successful quarter in the history of Payne Chapel. As the Presiding Elder was compelled to leave the city Monday to be present at the Presiding Elders' Council in Kansas City, Rev. Tillman presided at the quarterly conference Monday night. Sunday the congregation was favored with the presence of Dr. Lampton, who spoke at 11 o'clock. Rev. Watson spoke to a large audience at 8 o'clock. Collection for the day was $94.54; for the quarter, $988.35 Notwithstanding the absence of the pastor the previous Sunday the work was well carried on by Revs. Curtis and DeClelland. TO MAKE GOOD COFEE. Here Is the Recipe of Veteran New York Hotel Manager. "The coffee at any breakfast table," says a veteran New York hotel manager, "is one of the most important elements of a satisfactory meal. "Coffee should never be decanted. The pot must be fitted with a cover that lifts off, and not one which swings back. It must also have a cover for the spout. Make your own filter from a piece of not too fine white flannel, sewn into a bag terminating in a point, which must be long enough to reach half-way down the pot and wide enough to fit snugly over the top. Have your coffee (two thirds Java, one-third Mocha, or any mixture you prefer) ground as fine as powder, says Good Housekeeping. It will require all your blandishment to get your grocer to do this, but the secret of the excellence of this way of making coffee depends upon the fineness with which it is ground. Fill your pot with boiling water to heat it pour it out, fit on the flannel bag, put in a heaping teaspoon for each person, and 'one for the pot,' and pour on one large cup of boiling water for each spoonful of coffee. The water must be absolutely boiling and it must be poured slowly. Let it stand several minutes on the back of the range; lift out the bag and send it to the table. I will not say 'have hot milk.' For the perfect coffee you must have thick, sweet, rich cream; put in the sugar, then the cream, fill up the cup from the steaming vessel and you have that 'coffee which makes the politician wise.'" 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. PALM LEAF HAT TRUST. Exporters Form Combination—Prices Will Ascend. Palm leaf hat exporters, who have for years past engaged in almost daily commercial strife while purchasing hats from the rural makers, have formed a combination, with the result that one price now prevails for the different grades instead of several as hetetofore, reports Consul Birch of Malaga, Spain. The export of these In New York, which is their only bet numbers between 3,000,000 4,000,000 a year. They are made the narrow leaf of the palm down in the adjacent country districts, where thousands of families, from grandfather to children not yet in their teens, are from January to December engaged in working the leaf into shape. These people compose, by the way, probably the most industrious and prosperous working class of southern Spain. They bring the hats and Malaga on the backs of mules and dispose of their wares to local merchants. Prior to the formation of the "trust' hats were sold to the highest bidder, but under the present arrangement one house buys all of them at a fixed price and divides with other dealers. The combination pertains, however, only to the purchase of the hats, each merchant offering them to New York buyers at his own figure. Stewart Edward White's Honeymoon. Stewart Edward White, who last spring "achieved the climax of a life of hazard and wild experience by marrying a Newport girl," as a newspaper observed, has been enjoying the unique honeymoon after "The Virginian" pattern. He and his wife have been camping alone, far from any sort of civilization, in the wilds of the Sierras. Although this is Mrs. White's first experience in out-of-door living, she sends back word of enthusiastic delight with it all. She sleeps on the ground, eats camp fare with relish and thoroughly enters into the spirit of the life so vividly described in her husband's books. LADIES' SP LADIES' SPRING HATS!

Freight traffic between Reno, Nev. and Goldfield, the “new bonanza,” has increased so much that the rafiroads cannot handle it, and mule teams of twelve mules each have been put on the road, the first time In over a quar- ter of a century that they have ap- peared on Nevada's roads. By freight train Goldfield is one day from Reno. By mule team it is twelve days. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD.~ AN OLD BACHELOR SAYS THAT— The latest wrinkles are naturally rough on women. If marriage is a failure it must be & case of heart failure Some girls like to make bread be cause it whitens their hands. ( is and photographers should know how to retouch their negatives. A woman void of curiosity must find life as tiresome as a historical novel. Riches are the wings that some- times make an angel of an ordinary girl. A woman may cast insinuations, but she can’t propel a stone with ac curacy. When a girl tells her escort that she feels a trifle faint, it means that she is hungry. Eve had her faults, but she never went through Adam's pockets while he was asleep. Nothing seems to please a girl more than her ability to win the man of another girl's choice. If one woman wants to say some thing mean of another she refers to her as “that woman.” If some women ever get to be worth their weight in gold they will have to take a lot of anti-fat. There are some things in this world that no man !s able to find out; but of course it is different with a woman. Some women wear their sweetest smile when they want a favor of their husbands, and some turn on the flow gf their briniest tears, Canada’s New Governor, An American boy who was trayel- yag in South Africa in 1896, toward the close of the Matabele troubles, recalls his first sight of Earl Grey, the new Cn general of Canada. “His rdship,” says the American referred to, “did not look a bit like a belted earl. Though administrator of Rhode- sia at the time, he was in his shirt gleevs, with a pair of obviously ready- made trousers and a disreputable slouch bat. He and a couple of friends were having a drink at the bar of the Buluwayo club.” Lord Grey, by the way, was born in a royal residence. His father was private secretary to Queen Victoria, and Lady Grey was stopping in St. James’ palace at the time. > “From every point of view can well be termed a masterpiece”—The Ohio Enterprise, Cincinnati “This is a book to be read; it is a book when once read can never be for- gotten”—The Standard, Chicago, NEW SUBSCRIPTION (FOURTH) EDITION OF “ ” THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK By PROF.

Man Could Not See Necessity for Changing Lettering. During the recent cross-examination of President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers, former Attorney-General Wayne MacVeigh told a story in illustration of ignorance. "A man came to a maker of tombstones," said Mr. MacVeigh, "and asked for some sort of stone for his mother. The dealer showed him one design after another, and finally the man said: 'I will take this one.' 'Very well,' replied the dealer. "Only this is one that had been returned to me. It has the name of Jane Shaw on it. Give me your mother's name, so that I can change it.' 'No,' said the man, 'you needn't bother to change the name, for mother couldn't read, and she won't know the difference.'" Social Life in Constantinople. There seems no improvement in Turkish social life this year. During the last week two incidents have occurred showing what sort of existence people lead. A certain high official had issued invitations for a dinner. As the guests began to assemble police came to the door and informed the host there must be no dinner. No reason was given, and the guests were sent away. Another night four high officials were playing cards when the police came in and arrested them. They were set at liberty a few hours later, but were warned not to do it again. Spies are everywhere, and if anyone meets a friend they are always considered to be plotting against the sultan. As the Schoolboy Understood It. Here is the exact answer of a New York schoolboy to the questions, "What is the meaning of the word 'hall,' how many other words are there that sound like 'hall,' and what are their meanings?" "Hall, where you open the dore and go in; hawl, hawling along a boy that won't go to skool; aul, what the shoe-maker charges you 25 cents for to aul your shoe; all, all, everybody in the world."—Success. Little Girls' Hard Lot in China. After the marriage, girls have no part with their own family, and no part in the worship of their ancestors. To have no son means no ancestral worship, and the girl is often sold as a daughter-in-law. Poor people buy their sons' wives when they are but babies, as they can be had then for two Mexican dollars—about one dollar and seventy-five cents in our money. These little ones are usually drudges in the mother-in-law's household. A missionary tells this story. She heard two women conversing in her house—one the mother of five sons and the wife of the leading scholar in Kuangwang. One said: "I am going to get my daughter-in-law into the house; you see a daughter-in-law is no more expense than a servant; if I curse or beat a servant she leaves, but you can beat a daughter-in-law and get obedience and your work will be done as you wish it." The other replied: "Just so, just so. I am thinking of getting a daughter-in-law, too. I can then live at ease." As a consequence of this custom, little girls look forward not to betrothal nor to marriage, but to becoming mothers-in-law, when they in turn can have authority. Good Housekeeping.

The popular notion of an easy job is doing just as you feel like. About a big display of temper there always is a flavor of being ill-used. Many people worry over things which ought to worry someone else. There is such a thing as a too tenacious minding of one's own business. Right-thinking people have a hard time dissecting the motives of others. When you start in to stir up trouble be prepared to combat the consequences. It bothers some men to find out how other men manage to keep up a show on a small income. --- THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. Drugs and Toilet Goods Attractively Underpriced J. E. H. JAMES F.

Omaha was in a drunken and de- moralized condition for several weeks. Try as he might, the captain could not discover where the liquor was com ing from. Finally all shore Uberty ‘Was stopped, but the drunkenness did not cease. On the morning of sailing, while the executive officer was near the port gangway watching the taking in of stores, he asked what was in a large demijohn that came over the side with boxes and packages. He was told that it was vinegar, He pulled the cork and sniffed it, It was vinegar. Then his attention was at- tracted by the tag, marked “master- atarms’ mess,” and remarking that the mess must be using vinegar for bathing, as he had already seen the same demijohn brought aboard twice within that week, he ordered the off- cer of the deck to inspect it carefully and taste it. He did; it was vinegar. That officer, however, noticed that the jug had an unusually long neck. He poured out a small quantity of vine gar and discovered an extra cork in the bottom of the neck. Below that were three gallons of gin. The vine ger between the corks had served to deceive the inspecting officer at the “gangway for a month. sf => RECENT ‘ig. ) LEGAL 7 DECISIONS \ ds LE SS Sg MG es oar pate CL Ne ek een ST Oe eae So ent not a free trader, to pay for goods which form part of a stock in trade with which she is carrying on busi- ress, which may, in equity, be en- forced against her separate estate, is held, in MacDonald vs. Tefft-Weller Co.

Hotel Lacking in Felicities, 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’ follow- ers hankered for the fleshpots. A Washington woman, who is own sis- ter 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.

Pope Leo X. is credited with hav- ing 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 philoso- pher’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 ali alchemy, for it turns the common earth into gold and confers upon its cultivator the additional reward of bealth.”.

Or tne eye. “Old age doesn’t affect the sight exactly,” said an oculist. “It affects certain sight muscles. “An old man, for instance, can sit down the same as a young man, but he sits down slowly and stifty, be @ause his sitting-down muscles are no longer supple. So it is with an old man's @¢yes. They see quite ss well as 2 young man’s, but the musc‘es that do the focusing—the muscles, that is te say, that alter the degree cf com vexity of the crystalline lens—are hardened and don’t work well. The strain that the managing of these mus- tXes demands of an old man gives him tl headache. Hence he adopts glasses, which do hts focusing for him—one pair focusing for reading, another pair focusing for long distances. “Old sge glasses don’t actually im- prove the sight. They only take the place of certain muscles that age has stiffened. They don't even do that, though, unless they are cleaned fre quently. Glasses should be kept per- fectly clean—should be cleaned, when in use, once an hour, with a silk hand- kerchief, never with 2 linen one.” Tired of Being Fired. Peter was a good workman, bat he would go on sprees. His employer was lenient, but when Peter turned up after having been absent for a couple of days without leave, he dis- charged him. But Peter did not take his discharge seriously, and went back to work as usual, Again he went on a spree, and again he was discharged and taken back. These little esca- pades had been repeated four or five times within a couple of years, when Peter walked into the shop one morn- ing looking much the worse for his celebration. “See here,” said the em: ployer, “you are discharged.” “Look here,” said Peter, “I am tired of this If I am fired again I'll quit the job” And he went on about his work and has not been “fired” since-—Philadel- phia Record His 6pecialty. One of the stories attributed to An- drew Carnegie, dexling with the fol bles and weaknesses of his country- men, concerns an old Scotch lady who provided a Glasgow workman with a plentiful dinner—-plentiful, that is, as far as the solids were concerned, but woefully scanty in the supply of the national stimulant. The man's appe tite did not seem to be up to the mark, and the old lady reproached him with his lack of ability as a trencherman. “Aye, mem,” he said; “it's ower true that I canna eat a muckle, but it wad do yer heart guid tae sae me drink.”— New York Times. Atrocity in Pun.

LUCK IN THE HORSSSHOE, Legend of St. Dunstan the Origin of the Pooular Belief. SES FSS lRe Serle re The origin of belief in “horseshoe luck” {s so ancient that It never has ‘been determined with certainty and 00 superstition is more universal. ‘Ever since horses began to wear ‘shoes those crescents of iron have ‘been accounted luck emblems by all peoples, races and nations that have been acquainted with their use. In England, up to comparatively recent times, horseshoes were extensively used almost everywhere as antiwitch charms and the custom Is not even yet an extinct one. No witch, {t used to be said, could enter a building over the door of which a horseshoe, or bet- ter still, three horseshoes, had been affixed, prongs downward. | The origin of this particular belief (s referable to the old legend of St. ‘Dunstan. This versatile ecclesiastic ‘was a skilled farrier and one day while at work in his forge the evil ‘one entered in disguise and requested ‘Dunstan to shoe his “single hoof.” The saint, although he at once recog: nized his malign customer, acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged him to desist. This Dunstan did, but only after ne had made the evil one prom. tse that neither he nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his servants, would ever molest the inmates of a house where a horseshoe was displayed. North Star and the Dipper. The pole-star is really the most {m- portant of the stars in our sky, says Ceaontry Life in America. It marks the porth at all times; it alone is fixed in the heavens; all the other stars seem to swing around it once in twenty-four hours. But the pole-star or Polaris is not a very bright one, and {t would be hard to identify if it were not for the heip of the so-called pointers in the “big dipper” or “great bear.” The outer rim of the dipper points nearly to Polaris, at a distance equal to three times the space that sepa- rates the two stars of the dippers outer side. Various Indians call the pole-star the “home star” and the “star that never moves” and the dip- per they call the “broken back.” The great bear is also to be remembered as the pointers for another reason. It is the hour hand of the wood- man’s clock, It goes once around the north star in about twenty-four hours, the reverse way of the hands of a watch; that is, it goes the same way as the sun, and for the same reason— that it is the earth that is going and leaving them behind. Picturesque Senator Stewart. With his flowing patriarchal beard, white as a snow bank, and massive figure, but little bent in spite of his three score years and seventeen, Sen- ator Stewart of Nevada is a man whom visitors in the senate galleries loék at more than once. Generally he is enveloped in a capacious frock coat that falls to his knees and adds to his stately appearance. But of late the senator has adopted a more conspicu ous attire, He wears a dinky little blue coat, not half as long as his coats of former days, and a waistcoat white as his linen shirt iront or his abundant beard. The doorkeepers have been on the point of stopping the Nevadan move than once, thinking it altogéther a different man.

HOW INDIANS CATCH FISH. |Geo. W. COFFEY M.D. ee | PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Finny Prey First Put to Sleep With | “Devil’s Shoestring,” | _ (9 tO lla.m SR $a ore eee ee On the 1st of July the Indians will have near Sonora a big fish killing, which is considered great sport by them. Already a supply of “devil's shoestring” is being gathered for this purpose. This is the root of a certain bush, and owing to the fact that these roots go so deep, in so many direc- tions, it is considered quite a task to get sufficient for use at a fish shoot. On this particular occasion it is said that 2,500 bundles of “devil’s shoestring” will be used. The Indians select a portion or hole of water in the river, and some of them will beat up this root and throw it in the water. This tt repeated by another party of Indians a considerable distance from the first party, and the water be- comes impregnated with the juice, and the effect on whatever fish may se in this particular place is marvel- *us. They become sick and float on the surface of the water, and then ‘the shooting begins. The Indians shoot them with bows and arrows and spear them. After a sufficient quun- tity of fish have been gathered in, they repair to the hills and banks. The cleaning is done by the squaws, /and after they are cooked the feast | begins, While the fish are sickened ‘and stunned by the juices from the 'root, the meat is not affected—Kan- sas Clty Journal. SOLDIER'S WIDOW IN WANT. Russian Government. In the face of some of the stories which are coming from St. Peters- burg, it is probable that if the czar should issue a pension order it would not be met with a fault-finding vol- ley. A dispatch says that when a Rus- sian officer {s killed all payments to his family are stopped. The widow sf a lieutenant colonel slain at Lioa- yang has been obliged to make an appeal for bread for herself and sev- en children. The country that doesn’t tok after the widows and orphans ef its dead heroes holds patriotism cheap. No country gives support to che dependent ones commensurate with the service rendered by the sol- dier who dies in battle, but few coun- tries are so lost to gratitude that they allow the orphan’s cry for bread to pass unheeded, It has been hinted that there is a lack of heart on the part of the czar’s men in the present conflict. It is more than possible that one reason for the half-heartedness in the fight may be found in this widow's appeal.—Chicago Post. Nubian Whistling Tree.

Mrs. Amelia Foster, Most Worthy Grand Matron of Morning Light Court of Daughters of Sphinx, is regarded as one of the best posted members of the Order in the city. John A. Bell, Grand Master of the Masonic Order, was in the city last week. He is writing the history of the Mystic Shrine in the United States. D. R. Wilkins, former editor of the Conservator and a stockholder in that publication, have adjusted their differ ences and the Conservator will be issued regularly with Mr. Wilkins as editor. The citizens seem pleased over the outcome of the matter. Sunday afternoon at Quinn Chapel Rev. J. F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer Church, delivered one of the most masterly addresses that has ever been made in this city. Rev. Thomas is an eminent minister and stands high in the estimation of the people. He has one of the largest and most intelligent congregations in the city. The people on the North Side, are lining up for the purpose of defeating State Senator Carl Meuller and Representative Erickson if they are nominated by the Republicans again. These men are and was the advocates of the most unwarranted and vicious law that was ever attempted at the last session of the Legislature, taking away the rights and the reversal of the established laws and the legal decision that has been enforced in the state for years, compelling a man to remain in jail when he is discharged on a writ of habeas corpus unless he furnish bonds and giving the state to appeal all such cases. The people are aroused over the matter and will leave no stone unturned in order to defeat them at the polls if they run again. Wednesday of last week a number of prominent men and women of the Masonic Order were initiated into the mysteries of the Heroines of Jericho They organized a Court of Heroines of Jericho and elected Mrs. Ella Randolph Lewis Most Ancient Matron. The following resolutions were adopted: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Whereas, We believe that the time has come when we as a race of people and members of secret orders should pay proper respect to the leaders of our race, and Whereas, We recognize in the Hon. John G.

The progress of consumption, from the beginning to the very end, is a long torture, both to victim and friends. "When I had consumption in its first stage," writes Wm. Myers, of Cearfoss, Md., "after trying different medicines and a good doctor, in vain. I at last took Dr. King's New Discovery, which quickly and perfectly cured me."

Only the ocean beat upon its breast. Only the ocean gave it close embrace. An island was upheaved toward the skies. A central fire within its heart had burst; The rock became a mountain, stern and strong. Only the desolation showed at first: A stray bird dropped a seed that fructified. No longer reigned the barrenness accursed. A little world stood out among the seas. With singing brooks and many a fragrant wood. Where lovers heard again their story sweet. And truth grew fair, more fully understood. The tender flowers o'ergrew the chasms deep. And God looked down, and saw that it was good. —Sarah Williams. nformation Wanted of Jesse Ross Wanted-Information of a long lost brother who left Springfield, Ill., in 1881, coming to Denver with a hotel man, leaving his only sister, Miss Louisa Ross.

Fields we are informed of the great success Alzamon Ira Lucas, the teacher of new ideas along the lines of health and heredity, is meeting with in Los Angeles. It was only a few years ago when he came to Denver an unknown enthusiast and was dubbed a crank and grafter. It is a source of satisfaction to the editor of this paper to know that he has made good, that he has had the courage to persist and triumph over sneering critics. He deserves success for his unflinching determination no less than for the soundness of his principles. We shall delight to honor all such pioneers of thought and we look forward to the time when all people will welcome them and give freely the honor which Alzamon Ira Lucas has wrested by sheer pluck and merit. Just as the serious illness of Bishop Abram Grant of this Episcopal District has been of deepest concern to his friends, his church and the race, so will it be a matter of rejoicing now that he is out of danger. To many men it comes to be honored by preferment at the hands of their fellows but to only a few does the greater distinction fall of honoring the men or organization they are called upon to lead. Among these latter is Abram Grant. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MS. .....$1.00 Three months.....58 colorado, as second class mailmatter. your news. printing orders. The Negro race is producing deep scholars and cultured gentlemen, who take a place as men who are masters of the situation, but it will never again present as its champions in the world's arena the hardy Negroes born of the reconstruction. Many learned judges and kings ruled over Israel but only the wilderness could produce a Moses and a Joshua. So with Bishop Grant. His greatness does not rest on scholarship. His intimate knowledge of the needs of his race, his sympathy with their aspirations, his greatness of mind and heart in carrying the day against odds make him one whom the race cannot afford to lose. We are glad of his returning health, may he grow old among his people and live to see the fruition of his work begun in the dark days. When the weakness of a friend be comes apparent avoid applying to it the magnifying glass. If a new idea meets with strong opposition it is safe to assume there is something in it of merit.—Philadelphia Bulletin. She who hesitates has to hustle to catch up with love.

Ross of Hastings, he says: "On coming here in March I found a beautiful little city o. 12000 souls, snugly nestled away yet in its winter garb, and with thefeeling of unrest in their minds, wondering what the new preacher looked like. When they saw and heard a degree of satisfaction reigned and immediately we pitched battle against sin. Alter three weeks of as hard work as a man could do, the Lord gave us six souls. I then turned my attention to material things and as a result of it we have succeeded to purchasing a lot upon which we have erected a beautiful little chapel. This was accomplished with 18 members. Among the most noble of them is that splendid Christian woman, who will be remembered by many Denverites, Mrs. J. W. Browder, of Central Church. I would especially call your attention to the sterling and Christian character of Mesdames Gates, Byrd, Smith, Briley, Clark, Sherwood and Robinson. T. Jeff. Ross, 601 South Colo. ave.

The loaded bee the lowest files, The richest pearl the deepest lies; The stalk the most replenished, Doth bow the most its modest head; And thus humility we find The mark of every master mind; The highest-g fited lowliest bends, And merit mostest condescends, And shuns the fame that fools adore— The puff that bids a feather soar.

They live in a quiet sort of a way In a quiet sort of street; They don't meet a great many people, nor Impress the people they meet. The newspapers never mention their names, The world doesn't care what they do, they never go in for anything much. And their intimate friends are few. He never has had a favorite club, Though somebody said he might. For a flat little nose on the window pane Awaits him every night; And eight little fingers and two little thumbs Undo all the work of the comb. As he sits in the quietest sort of a way In his quietest sort of a home. She doesn't belong to a woman's club, She hasn't a single fad. She plays with the "kids" and works all day, And most of the time she sings. He isn't like most other husbands at all, She isn't like most other wives. And they never attempt to make a change In the course of their quiet lives; But once in a while they dress the "kids." And go to spend the day In a nice quiet country spot, In a nice little quiet way. —Maurice Brown Kirty in Collier's Weekly. 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. thirty-three; doctors, twenty-five; lay teachers, nineteen; clerical teachers, seven; Catholic clergy, four.

He was notorl ous,” The ring was of gold, and it con- tained a huge dark blue stone. “Now, watch the stone,” continued the detective, and he pressed with his thumb a swing, smaller than a pin- head, on the gold loop, opposite the setting. Instantly the middle of the stone slipped back like a sliding door, and out of the opening three or four drops of fluid fell. When the detective ceased to press the spring the stone closed up again. “See how it works?” he sald. “I sit with you, and there are two glasses of booze before us. Talking away, I draw the hand with the ring on it across your glass, and with my thumb I press the spring. Then into your glass there falls enough chloral to put you out of business."~-New York Press. Bring Gold From Skagway.
