THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. A great chance to speak up. Most Flagrant Ill-treatment of Race Deserves Condemnation. VOL. XV. Last iall we called the attention of colored voters to the fact that therace was accorded only tworepresentatives in the county convention out of more than seven hundred delegates. We showed them that the whole state had only five who are worthy to sit in the counsels of the republican party in this state and at that time said that this treatment of our people in the party organization could not and must not be lost sight of. Notwithstanding the many complaints which our people made during the preceding two years and this crowning outrage, they went through the campaign last fall, and by dint of money and work were rallied to the support of the republican ticket because of the most solemn promises made upon the rostrum by whites and blacks, that letter treatment would come. One of these promises, that made by Secretary of State Cowie, has been kept. But for all the others which, whether authorized or not, still served to get votes so much cannot be said. Ever since the republican party landed the majority of its state ticket and later it all, the colored men who were so busy during the campaign, have been looking forward with longing eyes for the promised places. Up to date the same old janitorships are all that have been offered them and in some cases they have accepted. When the mind roves back and contemplates the immense mass meetings which were held by the Rooeevelt Club in East Turner Hall, the music and the speakers, the clubs organized all over the state, the dozens of women who worked in registration and DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1905. at election, and most of all consider that this has been our record for years, these janitorships seem pitiful. When more recently by a decision of the Supreme Court the democratic county officials were replaced by republicans, hope sprang once more into life, but only to be again disappointed. Three janitorships were the places assigned to colored voters. One was offered A. J. Riley, who is a well known republican worker and was so far short of his deserts and what he asked for, that he refused it. Another went to Fred Armstrong. It is not the purpose of this article to serve any one man's political greatness, but the devotion which Armstrong has shown to the party makes us take him as a fair sample of what the white leaders think is good enough for Negroes. Armstrong is the republican committeeman in the first precinct of the fourth ward, a position which is no sinecure in a ward which is absolutely terrorized by the democratic machine of this city. Time and again he has been arrested on election morning because of his political activity and held on some charge or other only to be dismissed the next day, treatment which shows two things, first, that his work for the republican party is felt, and second, that he is above coercion and bribery. He was among the applicants for a place as guard at the jail. Along with other colored men he was turned down. The appointment of a white committeeman from this same ward at the jail makes it clear that black hearted prejudice, not lack of merit is what kept Armstrong down and what we say of him is likely true of other men. When we called for a square deal last fall, the circumstances were such that our good intentions were questioned. No such accusation can be made now. Our prediction has come true,—no class of citizens who are of too little consequence to help in party counsels will be considered in the making of laws or distribution of patronage Let the fervid curses which have been heaped upon the party beget some kind of reasonable action looking toward bettering conditions. There is nothing so contemptible as the whine of the coward. Curses are idle, backbone is what we need. The republican party is the creature of our votes and we are necravens that must skulk when some gangster cracks his whip. It has so long been gospel truth among white politicians that Negroes look no higher than a mop or a broom and to the shame of the so called leaders we have, they have so generally stooped to accept, that they must still be open mouthed with astonishment at the unprecedented refusal by A. J. Riley of the place at the Court House. Slowly we approach nearer and nearer to manhood, respecting ourselves and demanding it as our due. It is for the many to stop now and consider what should be done. It is no time to begin in campaign times when the politician and his oily tongue are busy with promises, when the color line is for the moment obliterated and blacks taste the luxury of carriages and automobiles. We don't want any such pretensions at an State Historian & Natural History Society MAN. NEW MEXICO. NO. 53 eak up. Condemnation. NO.53 equality which they don't mean and we cannot accept and keep our self-re spect. It is patronizing, pure and simple. All we want is a square deal, and if we have the manhood to demand it, we will get it. We said last fall that the great struggle would be next year, and that seems more likely daily. If we would receive decent treatment then, we must earn it now. We believe that the colored men who led the lambs up to this slaughter by their activity last fall, were honest. But if they would escape the charge of being equally guilty of duplicity along with the white leaders, they must go to the front and demand fair treatment for their people. They are the ones who can give force to a protest, they are the ones whose pretensions at leadership calls for action. Bunco s'eering is an honorable vocation compared with deluding the poor Negroes into thinking that their sacrifices in politics will be amply repaid. Far better is it for them to keep out of the game entirely than to have such shameful and insulting treatment given them as they are now receiving at the hands of the county and state republican organization. This is no time for our leaders to be silent. They must either fight and shoot, or give up the gun. The columns of this paper are at their disposal. GOOD HEALTH RULES.

As a result of the trouble which oc- curred between him and a fireman, Randolph Butler is no longer in the employ of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. All the evidence went to show that Butler was discharging his duty, and obeying the orders of the conductor and that he was not the ag gressor in the fight. The fireman was dismissed also. Butler’s dismissal is probably sop thrown at the powerful order of union trainmen and not just punishment for wrong doing.

In the year 1890, when influenza was epidemic throughout Europe, many workmen contracted the disease in three watch factories at Madretsch, Germany, and a number died. At one factory at Madretsch, however, the disease did not appear. Investigations showed that oil of turpentine was used in the turning of the metals used for watchcases. The oil became warm and evaporated and the workmen inhaled the air laden with it. This seemed to protect them against the disease. Since then oil of turpentine has been always evaporated in that factory upon a stove and not a case of influenza has ever occurred thora --- CONDITION OF THE AZTECS. Survivors of Ancient Race Chiefly Laborers in the Fields. The Aztecs of old were not only great soldiers, but also diligent cultivators of the soil, and had acquired considerable proficiency in agriculture, says the Southern Workman, although they had no horses, oxen or other animals of draft. To this day the men earn their living chiefly as day laborers in the fields now owned by the Mexicans. The staple product now as of yore is the maize, and next to it the maguey or agave, the sweet sap of which is the principal material for the famous Mexican pulque. Some species are cultivated as vegetables, others for the sake of their leaves, which yield a strong fiber that can be woven into fabrics. Hence the saying that the agave supplies the people with drink, food and clothing. The men have little ambition to excel in handicraft. Farriery and carpentry are about the only trades they care to take up. In the cities they work as porters, carlers or peddlers in a small way. Like all southern Indians, their complexion is of a ruddy chocolate brown, and they are not particularly good looking. Most of the women now have large hands and feet, probably the inheritance of generations of hard workers. And they are strong. In the warehouse of a wine merchant an Aztec porter was seen to take a cash of claret on his back and carry it quite a distance. The load certainly weighed not less than 400 pounds and no white man would have thought of lifting it. The law requires the people in the cities to forsake the Indian breechcloth and poncho and assume the regulation garb of the poor working class of Mexico—the wide, loose trousers of cotton cloth or manta, with jacket to match—but the breechcloth is worn outside of the trousers and thereby replaces the civilized suspenders.

For the greater part of a year he has been afflicted with Brights disease, and the end has been long dreaded. Like the strong man that he was, and the brave soldier who had done his part for his country in its darkest days, he met his fate calmly and almost with a smile. His children were all assembled in expectation of his fate and every comfort that they or that sympathizing friends could give him was his to command. The funeral was conducted from the house and Shorter Church Monday afternoon. Abraham Linc In Post G. A. R. of which he was a member, conducted its services at the house. At the conclusion, especially when the flag which he loved so well was draped over him by loving hands, scarcely an eye was dry. The funeral cortege was escorted to Shorter Church by Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 2320, G. U. O. of O. F. of which he was a member, and by the members of the two local Masonic lodges under the leadership of Rocky Mountain Lodge No 1. At the church which was crowded, many touching scenes took place and by the profuse floral offering, and everything which could show respect, the citizens of Denver white as well as colored, showed their profound srow. Rev. Dyett preached the funeral sermon, dwelling upon the exemplary life of the deceased and upon his final acceptance of Christ and uniting himself with Shorter Church. Three honorary pall bearers were funish d each by the G. A. R. and by the brick layers of whose union he had been many times walking delegate, and as whose representative he had once been chosen vice president of the local labor assembly The pall bearers were Messrs T. S. Rector, H. F Smith, W H. Finley, H C. Radcliff, F. T. Br ce and C. A. Fran li. The deceased was the father of seven children, six THE DIAMOND CURE THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Rarely have all the people shown such keen regret over such an occurrence, and well they might, as without doubt, the career of Peter Joseph has been such as no other Negro in our city has had. He has held high positions in the government service, the greatest of which was elector in 1876, when Hayes and Tilden were contesting for the presidency. At that time he showed what kind of a man he was by refusing a bribe of $100,000 to vote for Tilden. This incident was typical of his career. He was staunch and true. He knew no compromise with what he thought to be wrong. The race is a great loser by his death both in what he would do for it and for his example. In Riverside he rests among the dead who too followed the fortunes of their country in the war,—sleeping until the grand reveille when he will rise to see the glorious harvest that has come from the seeds of self sacrifice and persistent struggle he sowed while here among us.

BELIEFS OF A BENEDICT. Few men who take a better-half prepare for the worst. A fellow who's intoxicated with love sobers up pretty soon after marriage. And poor Eve died without being able to join the Daughters of anything! About the best example of a work of supererogation is teaching a girl baby to talk. Science says kissing causes disease. It has been known to cause pitation of the heart. An old bachelor at a chr ning party ms about as appropriate as a n an automobile. "All men are liars;" but married ones have more ready-made opportunities.—R. W. Jones in New York Tribune. A Kansas man saved a widow from drowning, and was married to her within six weeks. One can't be too careful. "Why don't you write some happy 'Married Man's Musings'?" asks a correspondent. It would take a bachelor to do that. There are only fifty thousand really handsome women in the United States, according to a magazine writer. Every woman wonders who the other 49,999 are. Everything has its compensations. When a fellow gets the grip his wife consoles herself with the thought that afterward she can tell him he was "as cross as a bear." Probably Adam would never have married if he had to stand up in church before a thousand people, with a frock coat on, and go through a ten-minute ceremony that seemed like ten hours. FROM A SPINSTER'S NOTEBOOK. Society is the mother of convention and quite often it deserves its child. One advantage about being an old maid is not having to tell a husband how much the new millinery cost. It's very difficult to believe in romance after seeing the way some men don't help their wives on the street car. It makes a man awfully mad when he knows you're just polite to him because you are a lady and not because he's a gentleman. A woman always gets a little suspicious when her husband develops a great admiration for her last year's gown when it's time to get a new one. The man who thinks he is the boss of the house because he is the breadwinner should be taught that he has not half the dough of the bread baker. Few men like to be reminded of their courtship, as it reminds them how untruthful they can be; women like to think of it, as they find comfort in remembering the time they were happy. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Man or Mountain. Clifford B. Hildreth is the proprietor of a hotel at York Beach, Maine, a few miles from a promontory known as Baldhead Cliff. The place is wild and picturesque, and is the mecca of many summer visitors. Hildreth is called "Cliff" by all who know him. His head has pushed through his hair, and he has little use for a comb. A few weeks ago a party of tourists stopped in front of his hotel and seeing Mrs. Hildreth on the veranda one of the men called out: "Can you tell me where Baldhead Cliff is?" "He must be around the house somewhere," said Mrs. Hildreth. "I saw him just a few minutes ago." She was not disconcerted by the slang title that she believed the tourist had bestowed on her husband.—Chicago Record-Herald Sunday Magazine. A Song of Singers. Where are ye now, dead singers of dear songs? Where are the souls, vibrant with melody? Whom sweet words sought, as wa'err seek the sea; To whom great thoughts converged in shining throngs. From them seemed lifted Eden's primal curse, They talked with angels, and were unafraid: Can death destroy those echoing chords, which made Them harps Aeolean of the universe? When some great star throws down its solemn light Do their freed spirits see and learn to know The hymns the planets sing as on they go. Moving along their paths of silvery light? When through our slumber sounds harmonious ring. Is it the echo of the songs they sing? Like Papa. "My goodness gracious mercy sakes!" his mother exclaimed. "Will lle! Willie! What on earth are you saying? O, O, O, O! You have broken my heart! O, I never dreamed that my little boy could say such awful things! O, dear, dear, dear, dear!" "Well, blame it, didn't you tell me not to cry any more when I hurt myself and try to be brave like papa is when he pounds his thumb?"—Chicago Record Herald. To Suit Herself.

Aalmal Had Taken Various Snacks to Appease Huncer. Buchanan's goat is getting to he a terror in that end of town. Besides drinking beer and doing the tight rope act, he has an appetite worse than that of an ostrich. He invaded a neighbor’s back yard yesterday and way in the act of crawling outside a sack of potatoes when the landlady @iscovered the situation and sent the hired girl after him. A little later he became suddenly indisposed. A local veterinarian was called and applied the X-ray to the goat's stomach which happened to contain among other met- ters one apple pie, two pairs of par- lor slippers, four copies of the Pros- pector, one War Cry, nine subpoenas, three bench warrants for John Doe, one package smoking tobacco, one yard linoleum, one box of tacks, one bisque doll and other articles too num- €rous to admit of inventory.

This is a verbatim report of a con- versation that took place in an upper Broadway apartment one Thursday afternoon about six months ago: “Is this Mrs. So-and-So?” fait <i.” “I am the assistant rector of the Jericho church. “Oh, yes. Won't you come in?” “Thank you. I saw your name in the registry and have been trying to find time to call on you ever since I came to the church, but so:mnehow I could not get around in this neighborhood until to-day. But I think I know your children. Your son sings in the choir, does he not?” “Yes.” “And your little girl is in Miss An- derson’s Sunday school class, I be lieve?” “Yes.” “How old are the children?” “Willie is fourteen and Mamie {s nine.” “Well, well, anybody would think your children were older than that.” And he doesn’t know to this day why that woman hus stopped going to church.—New York Herald.

You'd think that after one or two had had the experience they'd put the others next, but that’s where the meanness of a dog's nature comes in. “They say that every cog has his day, and I suppose they regard experi- ence as the best teacher. It’s hard to figure the thing out; but, at any rate, €very one of my six dogs has been struck, with more or less serious re- eults, and now their curiosity is satis- fied.

An enthusiastic admirer of the mikado's nation was extolling the patriotism of the Japanese to a little circle of friends in the University club the other evening. "Why," said he, "every one of those little fellows will make any sacrifice to help the government along. Ever the poor peasants do it and never grumble at the taxes. There isn't a man of them that wouldn't willingly give up his last dollar to protect the remainder. The taxes are mighty hard on them, too. The tax on leather and shoes comes especially hard on the barefooted peasantry." He got into a still deeper muddle when he tried to explain that a similar hard condition in Ireland once was mitigated by making the sole leathers of wood.—New York Herald. The Tact of Childhood. A small girl of three on going to bed one evening invited her grandmother to "less put your head on the pillow."

"Yes, indeed," replied grandmamma "In this house?" "Yes." "In this room." "Yes." "In this bed?" "Yes, my child, why do you ask?" "Well, then, all I have to say is its pwitty cwowed."

A man was discovered in Coosa county, Alabama, last winter who had never seen the American flag. What is more, he had not the least percep- tion of what it meant and was much astonished when this was explained to him. The incident happened in the longleaf pine country in which the Kaul Lumber company is operating, near the little backwoods town of Juniata. A party of government foresters, under Franklin W. Reed, was encamped in the woods beside the road. A large flag tied to a sapling pine announced the site as a government camp. One evening a little-old man came down the road driving a yoke of steers and stopped to inquire whether the party would like to buy some pork. He got out of his cart, sat down on a stump and after a moment's conversation his eye caught sight of the flag on the sapling. He looked at it in a puzzled way, then asked what it was. The men thought at first he was joking, but it was soon apparent the question was in good faith. "That's the American flag, man. Haven't you ever seen the flag before?" No, he had never seen a flag of any kind before. He had heard there were such things, and once he had seen a picture of a flag on a poster, but that was a long time ago, and he had almost forgotten it. He had lived in the woods all his life and had never been more than 13 miles from home. He wanted to know what the flag meant, and listened in silence when this was explained to him. He did not know how to read or write, and had never heard that the Fourth of July was any different from any other day. MADE HIM A HARVARD MAN. Walter Duly Labeled as Belonging to Famous College. Phillip King, formerly of the Princeton eleven, relates how while a crowd of Harvard boys was celebrating the result of a game with Pennsylvania some years ago one Cambridge man was much taken with the white waistcoat worn by a waiter in a Boston cafe. The Harvard man called the waiter to him, saying: "I want to buy that waistcoat!" "Why, what do you want it for?" asked the astonished waiter. "Never mind what I want it for," continued the Harvard man. "What will you take for the waistcoat?" After some spirited bargaining on both sides the waiter consented to accept five dollars in payment for the garment. Whereupon the Harvard man shouted "Done!" and gave the waiter the sum mentioned. "And when do you want it, sir?" asked the waiter. "Oh," replied the collegian, "I don't want you to give the waistcoat to me—not at all! I merely wanted to feel that I owned it." At this the waiter bowed and was about to walk away when the Harvard man called him back. "Don't be in a hurry," he said. 'There is something else.' Whereupon, motioning the waiter to draw nearer, the Harvard man took a piece of celery, dipped it into the cranberry sauce and proceeded to mark a big "H" on the middle of the front of the white waistcoat that he felt was his own! THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. FORTUNE IN FINGERS HAND OF THE AVERAGE MAN WORTH $25,000. Capital He Brings Into the World, Properly Employed, May Be Reckoned On as Certain to Yield Comfortable Income. A Chicago jury, in the case of Frank B. Smythe, who lost two fingers while operating a machine in a factory, has fixed the compensation to be paid him at $5,000, or $2,500 per finger, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The verdict, therefore, determines the value of the ten fingers of the average man. That value is $25,000. This capital a man brings into the world with him, and if properly employed, it should yield him a 5 per cent interest, an annual income of $1,250. Some men, of course, carry this capital around with them in their pockets, but with most men in these strenuous days it is kept active and earns many times more than 5 per cent. A great deal depends, necessarily, upon the manner in which it is invested. On the hands of a sober, industrious, intelligent man, ten fingers of the par value of $2,690 each should yield him at least a comfortable living, while on the hands of an intemperate, lazy or ignorant man their product might not amount to enough to provide the scantiest necessities of life. If the young man starting out in life would only feel the full force of the conviction that he possessed in his fingers a working capital of $25,000, he need never have a fear of the result. The opportunities for investment are innumerable, and the profits are enormous, if he manages his capital rightly. He cannot hope to obtain satisfactory returns if he employs his fingers too much in the handling of cards or in swinging his hat at the races. He will not make much of a success if they are used in forging checks or picking pockets. But if he be an honest young man and look out for his opportunities many things will come his way. His $25,000 worth of fingers will be needed in the business of other people, who will be glad to pay a fair and even a high rate of interest for the use of them. He may be employed in a factory, a mercantile house or a bank, where he may turn over his capital several times and become an investor in the fingers of other people after a while. To obtain the best results he should have, in addition to his ten fingers, a fair amount of common sense, which nature also provides in many cases and a moral character which ought to be his natural inheritance. With these he should be able to defy what the superstitious call ill juck, acquire a competence, own a home, buy an automobile, play golf, be chosen to serve on committees, and sit an platforms, have his name printed among "those present," give interviews to the reporters, keep out of jail, die respected by all except his collateral relations. The natural bent of some men is about as straight as a corkscrew. The unpardonable sin, in the eyes of a woman, is not to admire her. THE WESTERN COLLEGE The oldest Christian institution in the West.

A Calumet shoemaker has just finished a pair of shoes for Louis Mollenen, known as the "Quincy Hill giant." Mollenen is 19 years old, stands seven feet eight inches in height and tips the scales at 300 pounds. The shoes are sixteen and a quarter inches in length, six inches in width and weigh five pounds each. Mollenen will use them while at work in the Quincy mine, where he is employed. A number of offers to exhibit the young giant have been made by showmen, but all have been refused. Chicago Record-Herald. --- Personal Briefs, Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

It is now being set to music for orchestras and will be a popular dance air before long. The price of the music is 25 cents and can be secured directly from the publishers or through their agents. It is dedicated to Miss Lulu C, Fountain. Mr. Ellison, the writer is a well known mandolin artist who is a prolific composer, this piece being Opus 31. He will soon place before the public a series of waltzes entitled "Echoes of Arcadia." His work is original and has that spirit which insures popularity.

Mrs. Kate Carper was hostess at a delightful spread Monday evening given in honor of Mrs. Rogers of Chicago, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Carlos Clark. It was elegant in all its details. Delicacies were served in style and with the faultless cuisine that essential to the perfect hostess. There were several excellent musicians and it was wellalong in the evening before the party broke up. The guests were Mesdames Thompson. Clark, Rogers, Misses Carper, Burns, Lelia and Virgie Webster, Messrs. Fields, Carter, Frank in, Williams. One of the new ventures in the world of Jetters is"The Independent Article," a creature of the brain of Franklin Henry Bryant, which will appear "every now and then." He claims for it that it is "good for brains; try it," and that the "best is yet to come." It is a unique volume being run on a mimeograph with a printed cover. This makes it odd in design, but none the less pleasing to the eye. We wish him success in his magazine, though we very much fear that the cold unfeeling world will make him amend the last of his reasons for getting it out: "First, because it is a labor of love; second, because it gives me opportunity to be and do my best; third, because it is attended by hope of reward." J. T. Peterson of Mobile, Alabama, has been visiting in Colorado Springs for the past three weeks. He came to Denver this week and is the guest of Leon Edwards. After sightseeing in our city he will tour Utah. He comes well recommeneed from prominent business men of his section. He is in the real estate and brokerage business in his city and is enjoying evident prosperity. Reports from his section are good and getting better. "Since the Spanish-American war our people have been making good use of their opportunity and are now a considerable factor in the industries of that section, being successful contractors, dealers in produce, skilled artisans of various kinds in a much greater degree than formerly." He leaves today for the west. NOTICE The True Reformers have been notified by the Grand Master that until August I, members can be made at $3.00.

Major Pierre Charles L'Infant's body has lain for eighty years in an unmarked grave on Green Hill, just outside the city of Washington, says the New York Sun. It was L'Infant's genius that made Washington the "City of Magnificent Distances." His reward from the government for his labors was less than $2,000, and in his later years he was dependent on charity. Now it is proposed to have the government erect a monument over his grave, the owners of the surrounding land having declared their willingness to grant a public way to the grave and dedicate it as a memorial to the distinguished engineer. All that congress is asked to appropriate to build the monument is $500. Thus the total reward of L'Infant will be not to exceed $2,500 for laying out the nation's capital, a sum that many architects and engineers today would not regard as sufficient compensation for planning a twenty-five-acre country place.

Outside of Colorado Niagra Movement A national conference of colored men called by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois of Atlanta, Ga., author of the "Souls of Black Folk," with representatives present from fourteen statesc openened in Buffalo last week. A national organization was formed called "The Niagara Movement," with a General Secretary, General Treasurer, Executive Committee composed of State Secretaries, who are in turn the heads of State Committees Various lines of work for the welfare of the colored people were mapped out and national committees were selected for each line of endeavor. A short platform was adopted espousing the principles of equal education, civil, economic and political opportunities and rights, and advocating freedom of criticism, opposition to a subsidized race press, and a united effort to realize these ideals under a wise, pure and courageous leadership. Prof. DuBois was elected General Secretary and George H. Jackson, Esq. of Cincinnati, Treasurer. In a lengthy address to the country the meeting set forth the rights of Negro citizens appealing to the sense of fair play of the American people and to their reason for a chance for the black man to show what he can do. In concluding it called upon the Negro himself to do his whole duty thus: The duty to vote. The duty to respect the rights of others. The duty to work. The duty to obey the laws. The duty to be clean and orderly. The duty to send our children to school. The duty to respect ourselves, even as we respect others. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. The Postgraduate Normal Course of the Tuskegee Normal and industrial Institute will be extended to two years beginning with the opening of the next school term, September 12, 1905, and will comprise a much broader scope of work than heretofore. Work will be offered for three classes of students in this department: First, students whose interests are purely industrial, second, students whose interests are primarily in THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. the academic work, and third, postgraduate normal students who wish to combine the industrial and academic work. Students of the second class will be required to devote five days of each week to normal work, and one day to industrial employment. The various courses will be taught by specialists thoroughly competent, and Tuskegee Institute with its complete material equipment in every department thus affords superior advantages for young men and women wishing to prepare themselves for literary and industrial teachers, and for such teachers desiring to take advanced work.

No more for them or hearth or roof. But narrow dwellings lone and cold. The dear, warm hearts that fell asleep! Why shun them in our secret thought! Why ever at a distance keep. As if some change were in then wrought? They cease not from their constant love. They are not strange and far away; Their presences about us move Closer than presences of clay. How it must grieve them, when they come Heart-close, and find no welcome there! Oh, let us hold our dear ones close-- Closer and closer, when they move Beyond the vell! For no one knows The preciousness of human love! —James Buckham Singing for phonograph seems to be as high-paid musical exercise as there is. A phonograph company has offered a prima donna, who sings at the Metropolitan opera house this winter, $14,900 for four songs. That is, $6,000 as soon as the songs are sung, and $2,000 a year for four years as a reward for not singing into any other machine. Great and many are the means of income of a goddess of grand opera. She could live splendidly on what she can get for using a pill, a perfume, a piano, or a phonograph.—With the Procession, Everybody's Magazine. . Nine-Pound Potato.

Wilson came home very late from the club one night and found Mrs. Wilson sitting up for him, and she seemed inclined to administer a "Mrs. Caudle lecture." Before she could open fire, however, Wilson dropped into a seat, buried his head in his hands, and began to sigh heavily, uttering such exclamations as "Poor Smith! My poor, dear old friend! Tut, tut, it's too bad! Poor old fellow!" Mrs. Wilson's curiosity was aroused, and she said, sharply, "What on earth are you going on like that for? What's the matter with Mr. Smith?"

CARTER President, --- A Fund of Humor. William Winter, the dramatic critic, is thought by some to write the worst hand of any man living. There may have been giants in the past, men like Horace Greeley, who surpassed him, but no one his equal remains. Some years ago Mr. Winter was traveling in Scotland, and having had many amusing experiences, wrote an account of them to R. H. Stoddard, in New York. Mr. Stoddard received the letter at breakfast and, combining familiarity with the intuitions of the poet, managed to make it out, and enjoyed several good laughs. He glanced up at Mrs. Stoddard and said: "It's from William Winter. Very funny. Want to read it?" "You know I can never read a word of his writing," answered Mrs. Stoddard. "Oh, that doesn't matter," replied Mr. Stoddard, tossing the letter over; "it's just as funny to look at!" DEPARTMENTS POOR SMITH SAVED HIM.

The Morning Telegraph expresses the sentiment of true Americanism in the following: It is worth while remarking that the entrance of Charles W. Anderson upon the office of Collector of Internal Revenue in this town was accomplished without any fuss or feathers, despite the fact that the new officer is a Negro. He got a few stickfuls of glory in the Park Row Hall of Fame, but chiefly, it would seem because it was a dull day in Park Row and everything, white or black, was fish that came to the abe editor's net. Of course there is no particular reason why it should be otherwise Mr. Anderson is an American citizen and entitled under the Constitution to any office he can get himself elected or appointed to. In addition he is entirely competent and will administer his office well. He is a politician all right, and a "colored politician," in the sense that he is and for some years has been the foremost representative of his race in politics. And as such he has conscientiously, intelligently and tactfully elevated himself to where he is, the while he has been doing everything for the other Negroes that was consistent with his personal dignity.

As State Supervisor of Racetrack Accounts he made the acquaintance of the leaders of the turf, and we notice that some of these have been the first to congratulate him upon his new honors. It is impossible not to contrast these facts and conditions with what happened in the city of Charleston and indeed throughout the South at the time when the President appointed one Dr. Crum, another Negro, Collector of that port. For a time it almost seemed as if the South would secede again, so deeply were its feelings "outraged" at the elevation to an important office of a citizen who happened to be colored. And yet the South, when all is considered, has a thousand reasons for thinking well of an intelligent and well disposed Negro and rewarding him according to his deserts to one that the No th has. There aren't many Negroes here, comparatively, whereas the South has millions of them good and bad. It hangs and burns some of the bad ones without the formality of trial by law; the least it can do with the good ones is to reward them. No; we like the Northern style, as exemplified in the case of Anderson, much better than the Southern. or Dr. Crum style. It is better style. And it pay a heap better.
