THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. PERSONAL CITY NOTES VOL. XV. J. C. Branche returned to his home Monday. He spent Sunday in Boulder the guest of O. T. Jackson and wife. Mrs. Morgan Stokes is visiting in Kansas City. Among the indisposed this week are James Owens and Mrs. Bramlott. Chas. Harris and Miss Willie Johnson were united in marriage by Rev. Ford Monday evening at 1933 Lawrence St. Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Davis were hosts at a very pleasant evening party Tuesday. "The Bats" are a set of young men who are social factors. They gave an informal dance at Five Points Hall Wednesday which was in every sense a success. A more congenial crowd could not have been gathered. One of the signs of the awakening interest of the Negro to higher culture is the increased number of our people who can do something in the world of letters. At Zion Church last Friday evening, H. Franklin Bryant gave a reading from his own writings in order to assist in buying law books for his term in the law school this winter. He is already known for his ability to speak extemporaneously, and now has added the further credit of doing some good prose and poetry. The audience was appreciative and many good wishes go with Mr. Bryant in his ambition. Dr. J. A. Harper, a dentist, a graduate of Meharry, has arrived in the city and opened an office at 913 21st Street. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1905. The Golden Chest Mining and Milling Company has had done in this office one of the best folders ever got out by a colored company. It is illustrated with pictures of the property and the men who are in charge of it. The company is starting out on a campaign of interesting the colored people in the whole country in this property and all persons who wish circulars can have them by applying to George C. Sample at 1222 19th St. The audience at Shorter Church on Thursday night was not up to the merits of the entertainment. It. was a recital given by Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, who has recently come here to make her home. She is a performer o. such technique and feeling that the opinion is freely expressed by those who heard her that she is the best that Denver has had for some time. She rendered some of the classics and also some compositions of her own. Mesdames J. W. and J. B. Tompkins were hosts at a dancing party given at Five Points Hall Friday night in honor of their guests, Mrs. Porter of Atchison, Mrs. English of Oskaloosa, and Mrs. Nichols and daughter of Kansas City. The hall was decorated in pink and white and presented a very pretty appearance, finer by far than it has for many a day. The music and plentitude of fine ladies and fine gowns left nothing to supply for pleasure. About one hundred guests were present. In honor of Mrs. English on Wednesday of last week, the same ladies entertained at Breakfast. Tuesday Mrs. Porter, Mrs. English and Miss Nichols returned home. Thursday night was a gala night at East Turrer Hall. It was the first ural History Society TESM , WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND ADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1905. concert and dance of the famous Fifteen-Piece Concert and Dance Orchestra, of which Rankford G. Holley is leader. The hall was comfortably filled early, and close attention was given to the program rendered. Of the playing by the orchestra, little need be said further than that it was good, and is taking on the finish of the unified group of performers. This is only the second appearance of the organization, and its rapid strides presages a great future for it. Of the individual numbers on the program, Mrs. Eliza Dishman was easily the most popular, as much for her usual ability as an audience pleaser as for the excellent of her numbers. Morgan Jackson in a violin solo, and Monroe Tompkins in a whistling solo, were good. Glancing back over a few years one is impressed by the improvement which is being made in music in Denver, and one is persuaded that such efforts as this are for the best. In the rag-time playing contest only two appeared, Willie Burns and Garfield Wilson, and the medal was awarded to the latter. A dance closed the evening. One feature of the event was an advertising program which was the most pretentious one which has appeared in some time. There were 20 pages in it. R. O. Johnson was discharged from the hospital this week, and very soon will be able to go about his usual work. The several Baptist Ministers of this city spent the last days of last week in Boulder, where the state association was in session. The case of W. T. Field, who was on trial for assault with the intention to kill, which came up in the West Side Court Wednesday, was brought to a close by the jury finding him guilty on the second count, and the judge sentencing him to one year in the county jail. LACY'S OPENING The finest looking, best behaved and most cultured people of the city lent their presence to the grand opening of the Mecca Cafe last Tuesday evening. From early evening till late they thronged the new home at 1918 Law- NO.68 rence Street and enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Lacy. The palatial appearance of the Cafe was further enhanced by natural flowers and decorations, with the Harris Orchestra present to add the finishing touch which brought all preparations up to perfection. Taste rules there always and the display of delicacies of all kinds, in season and out of season, was appetizing in the extreme. Applause for the music, praise for the chef and best wishes for the proprietors abounded. The opening of this, one of the finest appointed cafes run by colored people in the West, brings to mind that it is a new venture comparatively speaking, and that its wonderful growth is a compliment to the hustling qualities of the owners. Mr. Lacy is a prince of good fellows, but Mrs. Lacy is more than that in that she has no peer as a pleaser of the public in her line. 1,100 Francs for King's Umbrella. The king of the Belgians once left his umbrella in a hansom when driving in Brussels. This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud "cabby," who was offered for his honesty by King Leopold the sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehu, however, begged a great favor of the king. Could he have the umbrella instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman had put up the umbrella for sale, and it was knocked down to some royal enthusiast for 1,100 francs. When King Leopold heard of this he exclaimed: "Well, I've heard of an umbrella being put up to keep off showers of rain; but this seems to have been put up to bring down showers of gold!" Says Women Officials Annoy. The London common council has refused to appoint an additional woman sanitary inspector. Sir R. H. Rogers, a member, was supported in his assertion that it was only a sentimental idea that women made better inspectors than men. Women administered the law very unevenly and they were fractious and full of caprices, and they gave an unlimited amount of trouble and annoyance. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Born to Charles Lyler and wife, a baby girl. Mrs. Ida Bowen left Saturday for Williams, Ariz, to meet her husband who is a Santa Fe porter. Mrs. Charles Hering of Santa Fe is visiting her daughter, Mrs. George Harrison. Prof. Lott, who left recently for El paso to work on the editorial department of the Arc Light, returned home last Monday. A. B. Montgomery will leave in a few days for a visit to his old home in Paduka, Ky. He expects to bring his mother on his return. Dr. Davis and wife of Zuni Reservation, are in the city for a short stay. The Doctor is attending the United States Court. The re appointment of Rev. Byas by the A. M. E. Conference, meets the approval of the community. He has brought the work up to a good standard during the past year. A decided success was the opening of the dancing academy last Friday night by Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis, recently of Kansas City. These young people are rapidly growing in popularity by their strenuous efforts to put new life into our social circle. This week closes one of the most successful territorial fairs ever held in this city. The daily program was all that could be expected and the thousands of visitors speak well of the event. The exhibition hall was filled with New Mexico's wonderful produce. Big Jim Jeffries, the noted prize fighter, was one of the attractions. He acted as umpire in the ball game. Rev. Brookins reported a fair success with the lunch stand which he run as a church enterprise. Among those whose who visited he fair were Charles Parsons and family, Mrs. Won Parsons, Mrs. Kerr and children, Miss Hardin I. Grogin, Slaughter of Santa Fe, Joe Cavenaugh of Gallup and Eugene Downs of Elas) Bobbie's Notion of Church. church is a place whare yu go when sunday comes and yu wud rather stay hoam. when you git reddy to go to church yu put on yure best cloes and then when yu git to church yu see some peeple that has got better cloes and yu doant think about what the teecher says but moar about what yure frends is waring that is better than yures. i doant go to church but Ma makes me go to sunday school and she makes Pa go to church. i doant think he wants to go but he is afrade of Ma and he puts on his hat and cote and says Well I wish thare wasent any preechers to tell me whare to git off Then Ma sniffs and says Yu wud be a pritty sight if preechers dident help yu from going to the Dogs.

Milwaukee Sentinel. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MYSTERIES IN TWO OILS. Rhodium and Cumin Have Strange Attraction for Fishes and Animals. "The oil of rhodium is supposed to have a strange attraction for fish," said an angler. "This oil costs $2 for a tiny vest pocket vial. Nevertheless the most poverty-stricken of bait fishermen won't hesitate to buy it when he wants to make a big haul of fish. "I believe it is true that the oil of rhodium attracts fish as no natural bait will do. I believe that with a drop of oil of rhodium on his worm an angler can increase his catch of fish sixfold or sevenfold. The fact is, I have had pretty good indirect proof that this is so. "The mysterious oil of rhodium has in oil of cumin a mysterious brother. You have heard of horse tamers—of those strange men who in a few minutes will make a dangerous and ungovernable nag as gentle and tractable a lap dog? Well, it is said that these men tame their horses with oil of rhodium and oil of cumin sprinkle on their fingers. They let the horse stiff the two oils and at once the animal's ferocity goes out of it and it becomes quiet and kindly in an instant. "I should like to know just what the oils of rhodium and cumin are and I should like to know whether they really have the powerful effect on horses and on fish that they are said to have. No one whom I have consulted, though, can give me any direct and personal evidence about the matter." How Fish Eat. The curious ways in which fishes eat form a study. Some fishes have teeth, and some have none at all. In some the teeth are found upon the tongue, in some in the throat, and in some in the stomach. Some draw in their food by suction; the sturgeon is one of this class. The jellyfish absorbs its food by wrapping its body around the prey it covets. The starfish fastens itself to its victim, turns its stomach wrong side out and engulfs its dinner without the formality of swallowing it through a mouth first, much less asking permission. Then there is a peculiar little crab—the horseshoe crab—which chews up its food with its legs or claws before it passes the morsels over to its mouth, while other crabs and lobsters masticate their food with their jaws, and afterward complete the work with an extra set of teeth which they find conveniently located in their stomachs. So there are all sorts of methods for those regularly toothless, and the fishes which have teeth show almost as great a diversity in the number, style and arrangement of them. The ray or skate "has a mouth set transversely across its head. Charming. While Prof. Henry Drummond was calling on a friend on his last visit here he was introduced to a party of American girls. "How very formal you are here when you are introduced," he said. "Now, in England we always shake hands. What do you do here when you say good by?" "Oh, we kiss," said the youngest on the party, a charming girl of 16. "Ah, that's charming," responded Prof. Drummond: "Suppose we say good-by right now."

John Nevisan, who died in Turin in 1540, stated the medieval notion of women in his "Sylva Nuptials," when, after remarking that the Author of Good had made women entirely with the exception of her head, he added briefly: "Permisit Deus illud facere daemonio" ("God let the devil make that"). In the same century Jean Raulin preached that "man, composed of clay, is silent and ponderous; but woman gives evidence of her osseous origin by the rattle she keeps up." It was another Frenchman, Henrion, the orientalist, who was gracious enough to allow woman the supremacy in one respect at least. With minute accuracy he fixes the height of Noah at 107 feet, of Moses at 13 feet, of Hercules at 10 feet, of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar at 6 and 5 feet, respectively—and of Eve at 118 feet 9.75 inches.

Our corn crop of this year, a massed together, would cover sixty acres of ground to the depth of nearly 1,600 feet—a veritable mountain of corn over a third of a mile high. It divided equally among the population of the earth it would give each person nearly two bushels. One practical result of the enormous corn crop ought to be a material reduction in the price of beef for home consumption, since it is the crop on which beef cattle are chiefly fed. In many parts of the west the harvest has been abundant, but in Oklahoma, especially, farmers this year are boastful of their corn crop. Favorable climatic conditions produced a record-breaking yield. In many instances the ears and stalks are of such unusual size as to be veritable curiosities. In a field owned by Walter Mathews, a farmer near the town of Mulhall, in Logan county, an eleven-year-old boy weighing eighty pounds climbed a stalk to the height of four feet without its bending with him. The stalk was strongly rooted and about sixteen feet high. While the growth in Oklahoma was exceptional, no traveler through the west this fall could fail to be impressed with the vastness of the corn area and the immensity of the crop.--Leslie's Weekly. --- CURED BY NO-CLOTHES Delicate Boy Now Able to Walk Barefooted in Snow. Gustave Nagel was a very delicate child and grew to manhood almost a chronic invalid. His parents had spent fortunes on medical attention for him, and he had consumed barrels of medicine, but all to no effect. Some years ago he conceived the idea that modern man lived too far from the state in which nature intended that he should, and he resolved to return to the habits of his primeval forefathers and become strong or die in the attempt. He discarded all clothes, except what the law required, ate only raw foods and no meat, and bathed only in water of a natural temperature. At first of course he suffered severely, but in a few years he was able to walk barefooted in the snow with as little discomfort as the ordinary mortal suffers going shoeless on a sandy beach in summer. When he bathes he never dries himself, when he sleeps he prefers the cold, bare ground; he never has his hair cut short, deeming it a protection from the weather given man, by nature; his food is of fruits, vegetables, bread and nuts. Nagel is about to be married, but I am not able to say whether the lady of his choice is a new woman or has primeval tendencies like his own.—London Tatler. Race Suicide in New Hampshire. The entire Legislature of New Hampshire, including the Governor's council, comprises 418 men. A vast majority of these men are native born, more than two-thirds of them being descended from a long line of New England ancestors. Of these 418 men the state has a right to expect at least 836 children, being two apiece. The actual number, however, according to the Manchester Union, is 684, or a little more than a child and a half for each man. Of the whole number 355 are married, 275 are fathers, 80 are childless and 63 are unmarried or widowed. Of the 275 fathers, 94 have one child each, 73 have two, 47 have three, 25 have four, 18 have five, 6 have 6, 5 have seven, 2 have eight, 3 have nine and 2 have ten each. Of the fathers of six children or more each, nearly two-thirds are of foreign birth, chiefly French-Canadian. If these foreign-born representatives, therefore, were eliminated from the list the showing would be still less favorable. Identifying British Cordage. "Every rope used in the British naval service, from heaving line to hawser, and wherever it may be used, on shipboard or in the dock yard," said a cordage manufacturer, "has woven into one of its strands for purposes of identification a red thread. The presumption is that any rope with the red thread found outside of such uses is in improper hands. This custom in the British navy has prevailed since the days of Nelson, or since long before that, for aught I know. A like means of identifying rope is employed in this country to some extent commercially. Some railroads have their rope marked in this way, and this method is sometimes employed for marking rope used for the transmission of power in operating machinery and on lighters, where it might be exposed to depredation."

GROWING MIND AT WORK. ee Oe Ne en en ee ae ee ee aA ee ee of Tender Age. A youngster of inuiring imind made a short trip on one of the ferryboatr lately, and these are a few of the questions he propounded to his jong suffering caretaker: “Is the water down below there as wet as it is out in the ocean?” “How mary men could be drownet in water as deep as that?” “Did you ever stand with your nead in the water till you couldn’t breathe apy more?” “If a father fish couldn't find any worms in the water for his little fish, would he think of going up on the shore to dig for them?” “Is that big man with the gold but- tons on his coat the father of all those men who do whatever he tells them?” “Oh, look!” was the gleeful com ment as they passed a steamer towed by a little harbor tug which whistled sharply every now and then, “that big boat’s got the little boat by the tail and the litile boat’s squealin’!” Then his attention was momentarily turned upon a collie of high degree whose silky tail swept the deck. When discovered simultaneously by the hor- rifled owner of the canine as well as his own weary guardian he was active ly engaged in tying the tip of the dog's tail upon its back to the ring in its collar. “But ‘deed I wasn't hurting it any,” protested the small boy dolefully “Benson says dogs what trail their tails along behind ‘em is sneaks, and 1 was just trying to: help unsneak him!”—New York Times. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Lew Field's Latest. Here is Lew Field’s latest scholas- tic story about his young son, Josep: “The other morning Joseph's school teacher asked if any boy in the class could speak a sentence containing the word ‘foregoing.’ Joseph promptly raised his hand, indicating that he was ready with the sentence. “Well, go ahead, Joseph,” said the teacher. “‘Last Saturday afternoon I went to papa's theater to see “It Happened in Nordland.” Uncle Charley Fields was standing at the door. Three news- paper men came up and shook hands with him. Then they all walked away, and pretty soon I saw the four going into the Dunsmors Cafe.'"—New York World.

Tillman in the evening. Mrs. E. B. Butler sang "He Leadeth Me," and every ear was bent on hearing this sweet angelic voice. The music at this church is above par and every pew was filled. The Emancipation celebration at Payne Chapel Friday evening was largely attended. The speakers on this occasion, Rev. Gladden, D. B. Faw, Fred Roberts and McRay, surpassed all previous efforts. The rostrum never looked more patriotic with Old Glory blowing to the breeze signaling freedom to an abused an accused people. The choir managed the affair. Rev. Tillman and wife have returned from conference much pleased with the hospitality accorded them. Monday evening the reception tendered them was a complete success. A large number were present to welcome their return. Many words of welcome were given from as many church departments as time allowed. Each church sent its minister with greetings of welcome. Mrs. Tillman responded with one of her poems, "The Man of God" and Rev. Tillman befittingly responded with his witticisms. Mrs. Proctor, president of the Pastor's Aid Society, presided and wishes to thank members and friends for their liberal donations and flowers. At a conference of the presidents of the seven woman's clubs of the city, it was decided to call a meeting next Friday evening at 8 o'clock at Payne Chapel, for the purpose of forming a city federation of woman's clubs. All club women ara urged to be present. Called issued by Ida Joyce Jackson, State President. Perhaps It Was True. He was a doctor witness in an Irish murder case, and was very anxious that the court should let him go home as soon as possible. So he got a friend of his to plead in his favor. This was how the friend did it: "It is this way, your Honor. My friend, the doctor, has been for three years looking after two old ladies. If you don't let him go home to-morrow he's afraid the ladies will get well." And that's why the doctor doesn't speak to his friend. Hair Dressing Shampooing, Cutting and Curling.

The night before the Frick committee presented its report to the Equitable directors a party of the warmest sports in Wall street gathered about one of the tables in the Oak Room on the Waldorf-Astoria to discuss stocks, horses and affairs in general. Before long the Equitable muddle was brought up. A broker who often is employed by Mr. Frick and the Pittsburg steel crowd in their stock market deals ventured the opinion that the committees' report would exonerate Hyde. "Not on your North American tintype," said John W. Gates, as he tapped the bell and motioned for the waiter to refill the glasses. "Would you like to bet anything on it?" asked the broker. "Well," replied Mr. Gates. "I read in one of the papers to-day that I lost five millions in wheat. I'll have to pinch my bets for a while. If you're real modest, however, I might be induced to go you just once." "I'll tell you what I'll do," said the broker; "I'll just bet you fifty cents." "You are too sporty for me and I'll have to pass it up," replied the great plunger. "You surely must know something." Everybody laughed, for it was the first time on record that John W. Gates had refused a bet. Blaine and His Hostess' Gale. About twenty-seven years ago the late James G. Blaine was invited to dine in a certain city in eastern Maine where he happened to be on business. His host had recently married a second wife, more noted for beauty and wealth than for intelligence. It was near the middle of March, and a storm was coming on, which, the husband remarked, would probably be the equinoctial gale. "What do you mean by that? Is it the same as the line gale?" she asked The husband replied in the affirmative, and in reply to further questions told her it was usual to expect a storm twice a year, when the sun crossed the equinox. "That day at dinner," said Mr. Blaine, "I remarked upon the severity of the storm and my hostess, with an engaging smile, replied: "Yes, Mr. Blaine, isn't it singular that we always have such a fearful storm whenever the sun crosses the Penobscot?" Before I could frame a reply my host in a tone of mild surprise exclaimed: 'You don't mean the Penobscot, dear,' and she at once said: 'Oh, no. How stupid of me! I meant the Androscoggin.'"—Boston Herald. Had His Bank With Him. Gen. Samuel Veazie of Bangor built the first railroad in Maine, and also founded the Veazie National Bank, which is doing business to-day in the city of Bangor. He had occasion to visit Boston once, and made the trip by the circuitous means of transportation used in those early days, by stage, railroad and steamboat. He arrived in Boston in the evening, and went to the old Tremont house for the night. All he had with him was an old carpet bag, and, as he was unknown to the clerk, he was informed that, having no baggage, he would be expected to pay in advance. "All right," said he, reaching into his pocket. He drew out a pocketbook and took therefrom a $1,000 bill of his bank: The clerk took it, got out his bank detector and looked up the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. standing or the Bangor institution. In a moment he came back and said: "That bank has issued but three bills of that denomination." "Yes," said the general, "and if that one is not enough for you, here's the other two," and he laid the bills before the eyes of the astonished clerk. Half Rose, Half Thorn. A rose once grew within a garden fair, And lived upon the sunshine and the dew; And Cupid, one day passing, saw it there, And, seeing, thought the lovely rose to woo. His yearning heart went out unto the rose Each summer night, and with each early morn But found, alas, as many a poor heart knows, That love is half a rose and half a thorn. A blight fell on the beauteous rose one day, And pale it grew, the fairest rose of years; And soon, alas! it faded quite away, And Cupid, lo! was left alone in tears. It was the old, old story anew— That lives, we know, with every night and morn That with each joy there is sadness, too. For love is half a rose and half a thorn. Oh, love, how sweet thou art!— And yet, each night and morn We learn to know, yes, every heart, That love is half a rose and half a thorn. —Boston Transcript. Creed of the Church Spire. Some years since the old Baptist church on Main street, Bunswick, Me., was torn down to make room for a large business block. Quite a crowd collected to see the steeple removed, which was done by securing a rope to the spire and pulling it down into the street. The water works was not then installed, and directly in front of the church was a large water reservoir, covered with a wooden platform. As the spire came down it turned a somersault, and, point first, went through the platform. As it disappeared in the water, "Tib" Walker, a potted wit, exclaimed: "Baptist to the last!" --- Courtesy of Great Jurist. A young woman, says a correspondent, who was passing the evening with the family of Lord Coleridge, the eminent English jurist, was about to start for her home at 10 o'clock when he offered to accompany her. She, with the respect due to his age and with the fearlessness of youth, due to ignorance of the dangers surrounding young women, said: "I thank you, sir, but I do not want to trouble you. Cannot the maid accompany me?" His answer showed the respect in which he held all women. He said: "My dear, the maid is a woman also." If all men were so truly courteous there would be no complaint on the part of women that they do not receive the treatment they should receive from the opposite stx. Thomas Hardy in Literature. "What, then, do you think of the state of literature to-day?" was a question recently asked Thomas Hardy by a London interviewer, to whom he replied: "The fatal defect of most of it is the absence of a philisophic standpoint and what lacks that can neither be of the highest quality nor enduring. Descriptions of life, however brilliant or varied, are not sufficient; some reasoned comment on life as a whole, some sustained criticism—the outcome of modern knowledge—on the relations of man to the universe, both now and in the past, are essential in literature, and these now look for largely in vain." TOOK THE SHEEP BACK. Collie Dog Evidently Had His Own Conception of Duty. A story of a Scotch collie is current on the Derbyshire border, says an English exchange. A farmer in the Peak district, having purchased a small flock of sheep in the Low lands, drove the flock the whole way from Scotland to his farm in Derbyshire with the aid of a collie dog which was lent to him by the Scotch farmer from whom he purchased the sheep.

The Derbyshire man duly arrived at his farm with the sheep, and was so pleased with the collie dog and its performance that he decided to keep it a few days before sending it back. One day he was away from home during the whole of the day, and on returning in the evening he found that the Scotch collie was missing, and also the flock of sheep. In a few days tidings came that the dog had arrived at his Scotch home and had brought the sheep back with him. At Mining, Milling Canal Co. of the State of Colorado. 1 250,000 Shares.

How Justice Was Satisfied in Early Days in Arkansas. A representative in congress who was formerly a judge on circuit—including the state of Arkansas—relates an amusing instance of the free-and-easy administration of justice in that section in the old days. "On a certain occasion," says the former judge, "I had sentenced a man in one of the smaller towns of Arkansas to three months in jail for laceny. A few days after the trial I was on my way to the station in the company, so it chanced, with the sheriff of the county, when I passed a man busily engaged in sawing wood. He greeted me most politely with 'Good mornin', Jedge.' "I returned the man's salutation and continued on my way. There had seemed something in his face that was familiar, so I asked the sheriff who he was. That official hesitated a moment before replying. Then he said: 'That's the fellow you sentenced to three months for larceny the other day.' "Seeing how astonished I was that a man sentenced to three months' imprisonment should in three or four days still be at liberty, the sheriff hastened to explain: "Yes, Jedge, that's the same man. The fact is, Jedge, that we don't happen to have anybody else in jail jest now; so we thought it would kinder be a useless expense to hire somebody to look after jest this one prisoner. Consequently, Jedge, I gave the fellow the jail key and told him that if he'd sleep there nights, I reckoned it would be all right."—New York Times. VERMONT ONCE A REPUBLIC. In the Days of Ethan Allen the State Was So Called. The Republic of Vermont—such was the name of the Green Mountain state in the days of Ethan Allen and John Stark before she joined the Union. Then her people had the marked characteristics of a free and independent race and Vermonters have ever shown themselves worthy of the brotherhood of "the old thirteen," which they were the first to enter after the adoption of the constitution. The sturdy traits which made the sons and daughters of this commonwealth famous in the eighteenth century have been communicated in large degree to their descendants. Aside from recent additions to the population by French from Canada Vermont always has been singularly free from foreign admixture. Its people are almost entirely agricultural, and manufacturing is carried on by only a small percentage of the population. No slave was ever owned in Vermont and it was a Vermont judge who brought to book a southern slaveholder showing a bill of sale for a slave he sought to reclaim. The bill was refused status in court and when the southerner demanded to be told what sort of title would be acceptable Judge Theophilus Harrington replied: "A bill of sale from God Almighty!"—Chicago Chronicle. Knew Nothing of Bolivia. Col. Suarez, Bolivian charge d'affaires in London, tells this story: "It is not very long ago that I was invited to a country house in England, and when I arrived there I found only the ladies of the house party. They were all staring at me, and I could not THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO make out what was the reason. But soon I discovered it. One of the ladies of the house party brought me her album and asked me to write my name down and the country from which I came. I did so, and after having written 'Bolivia,' she asked, 'Something else?' I said, 'What?' 'Something else?' I said, 'South America?' 'Yes,' she said, 'that is what we want.' And then the lady of the house told me they had been discussing at length where Bolivia was; some said it was in South America and some in Bohemia. When she told me this I found out they expected to see me dressed in feathers." Odd Meanings of "Invention." The festival of the invention of the cross, which commemorates the discovery of the true cross at Jerusalem by St. Helena, celebrated on May 3, keeps alive the old, general meaning of "invention" that seems strange to modern eyes and ears. "Invention" signifies simply "finding," though the meaning of discovery has been specialized away from it in modern speech. Thus Hooker wrote of "that judicial method which seemeth best for the invention of truth." When Burton wrote of "the invention of a geometrical problem" he meant its solution. In the seventeenth century the circulation of the blood was described as "the best and most useful invention of this latter age," and in the eighteenth century Dr. Willis was referred to as "the first inventor of the nervous system." Scholastic Record. Mr. John Smith, schoolmaster, Coylton-by-Ayr, Scotland, has just celebrated his jubilee as a teacher. His predecessor had been schoolmaster of Coylton for fifty-two years. His name was John McClymont. Mr. McClymont's predecessor was Hector Walker, for fifty-four years schoolmaster of Coylton; so three men have occupied the position for 156 years. Here to Study Tobacco Raising. R. B. De, a full-blooded Brahmin of high degree, is in New Haven, Conn. to study tobacco raising at the Connecticut agricultural experiment station and will make use of the knowledge acquired in growing the weed extensively on his estates at home. Who Was Bluebeard? "Who was the original Bluebeard, after whom the Chicago murderer sentenced to death recently has been nicknamed?" asks a writer in the London Chronicle. He continues: "We owe the familiar Bluebeard of the pantomime to Charles Perrault, the Frenchman, who published in 1696-7 his immortal stories of 'Bluebeard,' 'The Sleeping Beauty,' 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Cinderella.' But it is very uncertain who, if any body, was Perrault's model for Bluebeard. "Some have supposed that it was our Henry VIII, others that the tale is a lampoon upon the castle lords of knight errantry days in general. Perhaps the favorite candidate has been Giles de Rais, marshal of France, who was hanged and burned in 1440 for an awful series of crimes. "During fourteen years he was believed to have kidnapped about 150 children, tortured them, sacrificed them to the devil, burned their bodies and burled their bones in his castle grounds. But the resemblance between his tale and Bluebeard's is too slight to be convincing."

Thoroughly in Keeping. In the library of the Vatican is a curious manuscript in the shape of a treatise upon dragons, written several hundred years ago. The script is twelve inches wide and some three hundred feet in length, and the curious parchment upon which it is written is declared by tradition to be the tanned intestine of one of the serpents written about. As the parchment is without a seam it is clearly the product of some enormous animal, and it is only charitable to the author to accept the statement that the parchment is proof positive that he wrote of actualities, as attested by the evidence adduced. Hindoo Bathing Festival. Says a newspaper published in India: "The Mahavarni, the great bathing festival of the Hindoos, was observed on the night of the 1st of May. Immense crowds from all parts of the country repaired to Hardwar to bathe in the Ganges on the occasion. The giving away to Brahmans of rice, sweets, clothes and utensils on the occasion is considered meritorious, and the festival must have proved a windfall to the priestly class. In Lahore the festival was celebratd in a befitting manner. The road between the city and the Ravi was instinct with life throughout the night." --- Public is and Scientifla) and professional life.

In the little town of Andreasberg, in the Harz mountains of Germany, making snow images has been reduced to a science, under the stimulus of an annual snow festival, in which the residents of the town compete for prizes. During the time it is in progress the little village is thronged with guests. One year 4,000 persons enjoyed the sport. The task of the judges is by no means an easy one. In back yards, front yards and in the streets before the houses the models, which include figures and complex groups of all kinds, have been set up. The worker in the snow is wisest who waits until the last moment and then works swiftly and skillfully. Many a good sculptor's work has been reduced to a shapeless mass before the judges got around, just because the sun would not hide its face. The Carlines Are Ladies Now. All things come at last to those who know how to wait, but the interval is sometimes long and tedious. Three hundred years ago there was a little group of ladies in Scotland who tried to obtain something and failed. Last week their successors at length obtained their hearts' desire. When James I. found that the wives of the Lords of Session were trying to get themselves called "my lady" he would have none of it. "True," he said, "I made the carls lords, but who made the carles ladies?" His descendant and successor, King Edward VII., has made the carlines ladies at last, and joy reigns in more than one feminine bosom beyond the Tweed. It is, no doubt, an anomaly that a husband should be "your lordship" and his wife plain "ma'am," but it is one from which bishons' wives suffer to this day, and fro which they will probably continue offer.—The Guardian. It is not every question that deserves an answer. Dance This will be one of the swellest of the season and all are invited to attend. HENRY HINKLE, President. WM. KNIGHT, Floor Mgr.

Walter Brannon, of the Second Baptist Church is a subscriber to THE STATESMAN this week. William Whiteside and Al Palmer, two wellknown barbers, have left the city. Will Redd is enjoying a vacation and while away will visit Kansas City, Topeka and Atchison. Mesdames Lottie Carris and Virgin ia Thompson left last week for an extended visit at their old home in Atchison, Kans. A Anderson returned to Cheyenne last week and is employed at the Gem barber shop conducted by Wm. Ashford. On Wednesday of last week a very pleasant reception was tendered Rev. and Mrs Bell at the home of Mr. and Mrs Wm Ashford. A number of friends and wellwishers were out to pay their respects to this worthy couple, who for the past two years have done much for the community and especially Allen's A. M. E. Church. Dainty refreshments were served after which the guests expressed to Rev. and Mrs. Bell an earnest wish for success in their new field of labor. The annual conference of the A. M. E. Church, which convened in this city on the 14th, and was in session four days, was largely attended and proved to be one of the most successful and harmonious in the history of the organization. The Rt. Bishop A. Grant presided at each session. On Sunday the Bishop preached a very able sermon which was characterized by force of argument and spiritual enthusiasm. At the close of this service many came forward, two confessed a hope in Christ and two joined the church. Among the stellar lights of the gospel who were in attendance and distinguished themselves in a creditable manner were: Rev. Watson of Philadelphia, Hubbard of Boulder, Tillman of Colorado Springs, Dyett of Denver, Watson, Owens and Bray of Pueblo. The lady visitors to the conference did much toward the success of the entertainment. Mrs. Tillman proved herself a dramatic reader of ability and Mrs. Elliott merited a claim among the best as a vocalist.

Students of Political Economy. One of the most interesting young Englishwomen in America in many a year is Lady Dorothy Legge, daughter of the earl of Dartmouth, who traveled from Boston to Hanover, N. H., with her parents to see her father lay the corner stone of a new building for the college bearing his name. Lady Dorothy is a deep student of political economy, and, like her brother, Viscount Lewisham, is a warm admirer of the younger nations. The viscount and his sister long have watched the development of two wonderful peoples—the Americans and the Japanese. Both believe the world's progress hinges in large measure on the mental trend of the Yankees of the West and East. Edison at Telegraph Key. A crowd of fashionable folk gathered in the Orange club of Orange, N. J., and received the election returns over a special wire. Thomas A.

When Human Life Is Guided by the Scientists. Mr. H. G. Wells, that dreamer of fantastic dreams, has been imagining for us the bedroom of the future. It is to be a most wonderful and healthy affair, and will require no labor to keep it clean. "There is no fireplace," says Mr. Wells, in the Fortnightly Review, "and I am perplexed by that until I find a thermometer beside six switches on the wall. One switch warms the floor, which is not carpeted, but covered by a substance like soft oilcloth; one warms the mattress; and the others warm the wall in various degrees. "There is a recess dressing-room, equipped with a bath and all that is neccessary to one's toilet; and the water, one remarks, is warmed if one desires it warm, by passing it through an electrically-heated spiral of tubing. A cake of soap drops out of a store machine on the turn of a handle, and when you have done with it you drop that and your soiled towels, and so forth, which also are given you by machines, into a little box, through the bottom of which they drop at once, and sail down a smooth shaft. "The room has no corners to gather dirt, wall meets floor with a gentle curve, and the apartment could be swept out effectually by a few strokes of a mechanical sweeper. You are politely requested to turn a handle at the foot of your bed before leaving the room, and forthwith the frame turns up into a vertical position, and the bedclothes hang airing. You stand at the doorway and realize that there remains not a minute's work for anyone to do." Presumably you press another button to have the bed remade.—Answers. MINISTRY AS A PROFESSION. Quality Rather Than Quantity the Crying Need of All Denominations. A conference lately held in Boston to consider how a greater number of able young men could be induced to enter the ministry was attended by two bishops, five heads of theological schools and colleges, and by clergymen, editors and others-eighteen persons in all. They agreed unanimously that so far as numbers went there were ministers enough, but that what the church needed was abler and more effective men in the ministry. In its present state the Protestant ministry seems an extrahazardous profession, in which the peace of mind, as well as the maintenance of conscientious men is exposed to too many risks. It does not surprise the thoughtful observer that in spite of its great attractions the ministry finds trouble in attracting the class of recruits it needs. One of the privileges that are dear to the American mind is that of amending the details of his theology whenever he thinks he has got enough new light to warrant it. A layman may do that without embarrassment, but if a minister does it he must carry his congregation with him or prepare to be charged with breach of contract.

One of the most unaccountable opinions which exists among colored people and one which seems the harder to eradicate because of its very lack of foundation, is the one that the colored lawyer, doctor or artisan is necessarily inferior to his white competitor. Worst of all, this opinion has greater hold upon the so-called intelligent Negro than upon his illiterate brother. It was not long since when the editor of this paper had occasion to see a body of men refuse to give some legal work to a Negro because "This white man can do it better and quicker than a colored man." The colored doctor meets the same unreasonable stand in the refusal to give him a chance or in the determination to judge every colored professional by the one that fails. This needs attention from each one of us. Meet the issue squarely. Make yourself a booster. Patronize the deserving Negro and encourage others to do likewise. Combat prejudice wherever it shows its head. The Statesman some six years ago made itself officious and almost obnoxious by pushing the claims of the colored musicians. In fairness it must be said that their service at that time was not up to the standard of what the public wanted. But slowly they were given an opportunity to make themselves and the presence of musical ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

It is an old slavery notion that we cannot give good service. The defense which Lawyer Stuart made for W. T. Fields in his case this week could not have been improved upon had he been white. It would not have had more weight with the jury. We will go further and say that if it would have, the Negroes need never expect to become anything in this country if they grant it. We have got to learn the lesson that our own is as good as anybody has, color, hair, talent, temperament. If the other fellow does not like it, it is his business, but for us, our own is good enough, provided only that we cultivate our talents to the highest. "A little lad in Limington," said F. S. Black, ex-governor of New York. 'must have studied the records of the criminal courts, and noticed a certain rather absurd plea that for some years had been advanced in extenuation of all sorts of crimes. The lad was absent from school one the spring day, and on his reappearance the next morning he brought no excuse. "'James,' said the teacher, 'where were you yesterday?' "The boy began to cry. "It was Joe Mullen's fault,' he said. He hypnotized me and made me go fishin' with him.'" --- Hypnotism Again.
