For some time we have had a collector and solicitor in the person of Geo. G. Ross and he has called upon many subscribers and will get around to all. This work is necessary and has been neglected more than it should have been for the good of both the paper and the patrons. We ask that all persons facilitate his work and that the little annoyances of useless visits be as few as possible. There is no complaint if you have not the money on hand to pay when he calls. But it is expected that when you ask him to return, he will not call in vain. In all cases where there is difference as to the account, a fair adjustment is easy if you have your receipt, and usually even if you have not. Persons making complaints about mistakes should remember that the same name appears many times on our list, and confusion is easy. You are not expected to pay for what you do not receive, but we do expect all persons in arrears to make the work of collection as light as possible.

See the pretty birding through the air." Tommy looked quickly, and then he sat in a coarse tone: "Poor little foe They ain't got no cages, have they?"--New York Tribune. In a L Sense.

Opposite Daniels and Fisher ACADEMY CHANGE MADE MATTERS WORSE, Woman Tells of Troubles With Her Hawalian Servants. “Hawailan servants,” ssid a brown woman, “are the best—the best in the world, but they are strangely un- sophisticated, strangely naive. “Hawaiian servants insist on call- ing you by your first name. Ours were always saying to my husband, “Yes, John,’ or ‘All right, John,’ and to me, ‘Very well, Ann.’ cr ‘Ann, I am going out.’ “At last I got tired of this and to John, when we got a new cook, I said: “Don’t ever call me by my first name in this new cook’s presence. Then, perhaps, not knowing my name, he'll have to say “Mrs.” to me.’ “So John was very carefvl always to address me as ‘Dearie,’ or ‘Swect- heart,’ but the new cook, a wa‘chful chap, gave me no title at all. “One day we had some company, some English officers. I told them how I had overcome, in my new cook's case, the native servants’ hor- tid abuse of their employers’ Chrip tisn names and I said, ‘By this ser:» ant, at®: ast, you won't hear m2 called An .’ “Just then the new cook entered the room. He bowed to me respect- fully and said: “Sweetheart, dinner is served.’ ““What?’ I stammered. “Dinner is ‘served, dearie, an- swered the new cook.”"—New York Herald. ~ Slightly Misunderstood. The hazy recollections or dim im- pressions that people not overbur- dened with a fund of general informa- tion retain of things they have seen or heard of frequently result in an. <- ing descriptions and definitions. “The little book with the x's and the y’s scattered all over it” waa fair ly suggestive of algebra, even though it tetrayed ignorance of the science of arithmetic off the part of him who thus described it, When watches were not aa plen ful in Scotland as they are to-day a peasant who had taken a watch from the pocket of an officer who was killed during a campaign in the High- lands was mystified by the unceasing noise {t made. On taking it home he told his friends that he had found a beautiful snuffbox with a fly inside. As little understood were the work- ings of a telegraph office by the man who, on receiving a telegram from his son, hesitated to believe it was from Pat because “his writing isn’t a bit like that.” Recipe for a World. Take one man, a woman and a gar den. Add an apple and a good fresh snake, Stir gently until the pot be- gins to boll, then drain off the apple, and keep adding children. Simmer on a slow fire, then put on ice. Alter- nate between the two extremes, giv- ing the whole a good, sound basting when needed, turning slowly in a proper space. Keep adding time until the mass is of the consistency of a mud pie covered with ants. Multiply the inhabitants and garnish with vii- lages, towns, cities and empires. Now introduce a little theology and enough devil sauce to spice. Keep adding bat- tle, murder, sudden death and a good layer of cant. Put plenty of salt in the water and sprinkle with bad soci- ety. When your world is finisted throw it in the fire and begin al! over agala.—Leesburg (Ohio) Buckeye, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. KNEW NOTHING ABOUT COFFEE. Hotel Keeper's Shrewd Evasion of His Complaininse Guests. George O. Stacy, proprieter of a well known hotel at East Gloucester, Mass., possesses a ready wit which has often enabled him to easily cast aside worries frequently arising in connection with the managemet of a ‘arge summer hotel. On one occasion during a change in the regime in the kitchen, although everything else wert along satisfact- orily, it seemed almost impossible for the new cooks to make good coffee. While an endeavor was being made by the chef tu have this defect reme- died several old maids, who were guests, took it upon themselves to have the matter corrected by com- plaining to Mr. Stacy personally about It. Getting together in a body, and en- cering the proprictor’s private office, one of them opened up the subject by saying: “Mr. Stacy, the coffee at breakfast this morning was so bad that we couldn't drink it.” Without giving the others time to say anything, Mr. Stacy quickly re- plied: “Well, is that so? I'm glad I took tea this morning instead,” which ended the interview, as the old ladies had nothing further to say and made a hasty exit, to the great amuse- ment of the other guests. The coffee, however, immediately improved. LAWS PASSED BY THE MAORIS . Self-Government. _ There are some ctrange laws in the Cook islands, in the eastern Pacific, thous they are a portion of the Brit- ish empire. The population is Maori, ‘and each Island legislates for itsclf, The {sland council of Manihikione of the group have lately passed an ordianece to “regulate village life’ within the island, which is kighly in- teresting as a sample of primitive self-government. They begin by re-enacting “the an- clent law of Manihiki as to dogs,” sald law sentencing to death any dogs on the island. Pigs are not to wan- der at large, and any person wander- ing abont after 9 p. m. may be arrest. ed and taken to the courthouse to ex- plain his reason for being abroad. No debt incurred by a native in- habitant is to be recoverable in any court. Selling or giving Intovicating liquor to any native inhabitant, Is punishable with a fine, with a reserva- tion of a limited quantity for sick people.—Nundee Advertiser, No Smoke for Him. There is a clever young physician in Philadelphia who has never been able to smoke a cigar. “Just one poisons me,” says the youthful doctor. Recently the doctor was invited to a large dinner pariy given by a New- York friend. At the conclusion of the repast, when the women had left the table, cigars were accepted by all the men except the physician from Phil- adelphia. Seeing his friend refuse the cigar the host in astonishment ex- claimed: “What, not smoking? Why, my dear fellow, you lose half your dinner!” “Yes, | know I do,” meekly réplied the doctor, “but ff I smoked, I would lose the whole of it!"—The Sunday Magazine. aye tt The Golden Chest Mining, Milling and Tunnel Co.

Solly is making a notable success of his pastorate here. Never in the history of LaJunta has there been such a generous and unified spirit among the friends and members of the church as now. The members of Mahara's Minstrel were the guests of honor at a delightful social dance given by the young men last Tuesday evening. The minstrel company tendered the use of their superb orchestra and materially added to the pleasure of the evening. The most notable event that has taken place in LaJunta for many years was the beautiful and impressive ceremony attendant upon the institution of the new Household of Ruth last Monday night. The members had requested their friends to meet with them on this occasion and it is fair to say that all LaJunta was out. After the ceremony an elegant lunch was served. The closing features were short but pointed addresses by the District Grand Master, Mr. Knight of Oklahoma, a polished orator, Mr. Henderson of Pueblo, Mesdames Sims, Berry and Marshall. Odd Fellowship in both branches is making remarkable progress in this part of the state. Miss Mary Ellis of Denver is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Jane Scott. Complimentary to her the Glee Club entertained at the residence of Mrs. Ed Tyler, under the direction of Mrs. Marshall. The colors were pink and white. American beauties, car nations and smilax made the parlors a perfect flower garden. The evening was spent in games and dancing. The prize winners were Miss Tyler and Mr. Knight. Mrs. Sims and Miss Tyler funished the music. SALT LAKE CITY. UTAH. The A. M. E. Church had a rally under the pastorate of Rev. J. C. Bell, and raised $351.25. 14 have been added to the church.

The interesting sapling from Shakespeare's garden at Stratford-on-Avon, presented by the mayor to Southwark, and planted in front of the town hall, Walworth road, last autumn, has not survived the transplantation, and has lately been removed. It was an offshoot of the famous mulberry tree and was intended to commemorate the Shakespearean connection between Southwark and Stratford-on-Avon. Authors and Inventors. Some time ago an English author, George R. Sims, invented a new hair restorer. Now Gabriele D'Annunzio has distinguished himself by concocting an essence for the perfuming of the bath.

At this the close of 1905 we wish to present to the readers of THE STATES MAN a roster of the leading and influential citizens. The Negro population is about 250. and their progress along moral, educational and financial lines will compare favorably with the best. We support two churches, a Masonic and Odd Fellows lodge, and about ten conduct their own business. The public schools all have pupils of the race who are making rap id progress. Next year two will enter the graduating class, Miss Lees Hopkins and Nolle Smith. Messrs. Simon Smith, Henry Ccooper, A. C. Jefferson and J. C. Gaskin are extensiye property owners. They are highly respected and their business interests qualify them for positions of trust. Charles Lucas, a native of Missouri came to Cheyenne from Lincoln, Nebr., about five years ago. His trades embrace cooking and plastering and he is an expert in both lines. He owns a fine home is a citizen whose morals are of the exemplary or der and a class leader in the A. M. E. Church. William Ashford is a property holder and until recently conducted the Gem Shaving parlor. He was very successful in business and the trade at his shop was of the best people in Wyoming. He is an Odd Fellow and through his sterling qualities and executive ability Cheyenne Lodge, No. 3106 has maintained a good standing and substantial growth. He is also an officer in the A. M. E. Church and his counsel is always sought. William Benjamin, the worthy and proficient Worshipful Master of Western Star Lodge, No. 6, A. F. & A. M, is from a point of continuous service the possessor of a record that is justly meritorious. He has been instrumental in making this craft one of the best in the jurisdiction and there is no position within the gift of subordinate or grand lodge that he is not competent to fill. Mrs. E. F. Landor, who was born in Iowa and educated in the public THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

Church and possesses a rich soprano voice of great range. She is also a dramatic reader and elocutionist of marked ability. Mrs. Clara Ashford is an active factor in every movement that tends toward the elevation of the race. She possesses education, refinement and ability to organize. It was by her foresight that the Afro-American Women's Searchlight Club was started and brought together in a social and intellectual body the majority of our best women. ENDEARING TERMS LONG KNOWN Antiquity of Affectionate Diminutives for Parents. German chauvinism penetrates everywhere nowadays. Some earnest Teutons have started the idea that German children must drop the words "Mama" and "Papa" in favor of "Mutter" (mother) and "Vater" (father). "How," say they, "can anybody prefer the unmeaning 'Mama' to the deep and impressive 'Mutter'? Nothing can replace for a German the word 'Mutter,' certainly not the French 'Mama.'" A certain philologist, however, asks how it can be suggested that the word "Mama" is derived from the French, seeing that it is probably to be found in all languages of the world. In the numerous dialects of Africa and in India the word for mother is "Mama," which is given as a title of honor to every elderly dame deserving of esteem and respect. "Mama" and "Papa" (Baba) are so generally used in all parts of the world that they probably date back some thousands of years. STRUCK AT THE WHOLE BUNCH. No Wonder Batsman Was Able to "Line Them Out." In one of the smaller baseball leagues there was a player known throughout the league for his batting ability, and, strange to say, he hardly ever faced a pitcher when not, more or less, under the influence of liquor. This caused much comment among the "fans," and one day, after he had won a close and exciting game by one of the longest hits ever seen on the grounds, while he was so intoxicated that he could not stand before the pitcher without swaying from side to side, one of them was prompted by curiosity (for they know that it was not altogether a "lucky" hit, as he had done the same thing on several other occasions) to ask, "How is it you can bat so well when you can hardly stand on your legs?" "Well," the player said, "I'll tell you. When the pitcher delivers the ball to me I can see about half a dozen of them, and if I can't hit one of them I'm not much good, am I?"

In one of these villages was a man who never could be prevailed upon to speak evil of another. In the course of affairs the village nuisance died. Most of his townsmen declared they were glad he was gone. Old Schmidt, the kindly man, shook his head in disapproval. One disgusted man said: "Well, Schmidt, tell us one thing that can be said for him that would not have put him in jail." Old Schmidt realized the weakness of his position but held out. As they were waiting for him to speak he removed his pipe and said, doggedly: Gould May Have Racing Stable. There is a rumor in New York that George Gould intends to go upon the turf. James W. Cooley, a well-known polo player, has purchased ten thoroughbred yearlings and report has it that he really represents Mr. Gould, who will organize a first-class stable and compete with Messr. Belmont, Keene, Whitney, Thoma and other multi-millionaires for turf honors next year. Mr. Cooley will not say who he is acting for other than that his principal is a well-known millionaire, new to the racing world. Mr. Cooley is a friend of Mr. Gould. emy.

It measured six feet eight inches across the wings from tip to tip, and two feet seven inches in length. Its claws were fully two inches long and its beak a little over three inches.

It is wonderful how pretty and tasteful a table may be made with the plainest table service. If the cloth is well laundered, each article arranged with care and order, and there is added the transforming touch of a bunch of bloom. Even a knot of field daisies sets a seal of refinement upon a table which is not to be disputed. Booker Washington's Daughter. Miss Portia M. Washington, daughter of Booker T.

Mark Twain and the late Rev. Thomas K. Beecher of Elmira, New York, were great chums. For years Mark made his summer home at Elmira, and when the two were together they were like a pair of boys just out of school. One day Mark said: "Tom, I've just been reading this interesting book Genesis, and I'm impressed with the thought that we moderns are not giving Adam, one of the greatest men in history, a square deal. Here we go erecting statues and monuments to generals and poets and statesmen, and actually forget all about our first ancestor. It's not right. Why shouldn't there be a statue of Adam somewhere, erected by his grateful descendants?" "There certainly ought to be, Mark," replied Mr. Beecher, "but nobody knows what Adam looked like." "Well," drawled Mark, "he'd probably look as much like his statue as the average victim does. I vote we see to it that Adam gets his rights." The two set to work raising a fund for a statue to Adam. A citizen of Elmira still living subscribed five thousand dollars; but that was as far as the project got, for other interests pushed it aside and it is now only an amusing recollection. — The Sunday Magazine. The Reserved Seat The train was crowded with the exception of one seat. This had been refused to various people, the lady who occupied one half of it telling every one who tried to sit down that "this seat is reserved." Finally a little girl entered, followed by an elderly woman, her grandmother. The child called her grandmother to take the seat, but the imaginary owner objected, saying as before: "This seat is reserved." The eyes of the child were black and they lighted up with indignation. She turned on the selfish woman and said in a voice loud enough to be heard through the car: "I don't care if it is preserved. It isn't fair to preserve a seat when my grandmother has to stand. Besides every one says grandmother is a wonderfully well preserved lady, so she's just going to sit down here." And she did, to the enjoyment of every one in the car, save the woman who eat beside her. In the Old Counthry. Rushes that grow by the black water, When will I see ye more?

There is even greater case of rejoicing in the fact that we are waking up to a proper appreciation of those who have opened wider the door of opportunity. The more cordial the relations existing between employer and employee, the better for both. There are stores in this city who are steady users of colored help. The People's Sunday Alliance at its meeting Sunday took cognizance of our last week's editorial relative to the elevator employees and has sent letters to the business men who have given these places. It is now up to all of us to make these letters more than lip praise by giving our custom to those who give us an opportunity to live. The shiftless Negro is more often the creature of circumstance who has given up the fight as hopeless than he is unwilling. It is hard to compete in the industrial world with the handicap of prejudice, and all we can do to encourage our friends will be bread on the waters. This paper has always given the preference to colored business men and artisans, and has tried to encourage others to do likewise. We cannot devote space to all our friends of the other race but we shall from time to time seek to direct attention to them, and it is up to you to back up talk with trade. COMPETITION THAT COM PETES. The call for the race to patronize those who are in business of our own people is alright in its way but if such business men have nothing else to recommend them, it is a sad day for us all and our doom is as clear and sure as the law of nature that the MS. $1.00 Three months.....50 colorado, as second class mailmatter. your news. printing orders. weaker must go to the wall. It is an indispensible condition of patronage that the seller should compete not with colored men in the same business but with any and all who funish his kind of service. For example: Only a few weeks ago just after T. R. Herron informed us that he intended to start a five and ten cent quick lunch room on Arapahoe street, one was started at 1855 Arapahoe street by three white partners anticipating him by several days. Nevertheless he opened up at 1831 Arapahoe street and now the "for rent" sign hangs on the door of the former place. Herron won out by giving the best service and not only held all the colored trade of this section of the city but had a considerable white patronage. This is a good example of competition that competes and the colored business man who does this we are proud of. The Negro race is making for equality on its merit and the sympathy dodge behind which incompetent hide, deserves no consideration. The press dispatches of yesterday state how one of our Cheyenne subscribers, Simon Smith has purchased a third interest in one of the fifr ranches of this state, the Diamond Dot ranch in South Park, for a consid eration of $35,000 and his son Carl will manage it. Again color has not been used as a spring board to success, but Smith has won it on merit and brings credit to the whole race by disproving inherent inferiority of Negro blood. It is really wonderful how every Negro criminal owes his bad tendencies to his black blood while every successful Negro is claimed by our white critics to owe it to the admixture of white blood. --- MEXICO This quartette has been prepared for the Orpheum ctrcuit JUVENILES IN VAUDEVILLE These stylish cards on the best Wedding Bristol board only 35c for 50 delivered anywhere in the world.

RHEUMATISM CAN BE CURED. What the patient says is proof of the treatment's efficacy. Listen to what Tal Green said about the rheumatism remedy of Dr. Ringolsky, which is sold at his drug store, 19th and Curtis Street Dr. Sol Ringolsky. I have suffered with rheumatism for the past ten years, during which time I have used most every remedy recommended to me and yet no relief. After using three bottles of your medicine I am now perfectly well Tal Green, 2032 Larimer St. Denver, Colo Tuesday night at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Fisher, 2214 Lincoln avenue, assembled some of their friends to witness the tieing of the nuptial knot between Mrs. J. E. Turner and Mr. D. G. Heuston by Rev. J. E. Ford. The occasion was a model for simplicity, there being no pomp, no extravagance in the way of decorations The sweet strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding march filled the air, with Dr. Ford at the piano. With steady step Rev. Ford led the march Then in complete unison with the melodious music, so majestic like came the groom, Mr. Heuston, accompanied by Mrs. Fisher garbed in her dainty gown. Mr. Fisher closely followed with Mrs. J. E. Turner, the bride, in her costly costume, and upon her bosom was a bunch of large white roses and one in her hand, which gave forth sweet fragrance to the near by guests at each advancing THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. step. The varigated flowers, the splendor of the bright lights together with the guests in their delicate and expensive costumes forming a half circle with the bridal party, Rev. Ford in the center, made a spectacle wonderful to behold. Scarcely, at any time before, has there been assembled such a representative gathering of Denver's best business and professional men and women of old citizens and new comers to honor such a rare occasion. When Rev. Ford pronounced the happy couple man and wife, a silent yet perceptive smile seemed to dance upon the face of Mrs. Heuston as if to conceal her gladness, while now and then the broad smile of Mr. Heuston betrayed his efforts to suppress his joy. For at that moment the long silence of the guests was broken by congratulations. Then Mr. Johnson of Baltimore, gave the kind of gleeful music that made appear as if the wedding bells were ringing in the whole of Denver, while the refreshments were being served with such regularity and smoothness that the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, and the congeniality of the guests marked an additional feature to this affair. Rice and old shoes together with other good luck emb'ems were much in evidence as the party began to depart. Thus ended Hymen's ceremony. THE STATESMAN extends its heartiest congratulations to the delighted couple as they ride over life's uneven journey. Let clouds come and let clouds go, but let sunshine be ever present in the home.
