THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAN AND NEW MEXICO. POLITICS IN NEW YORK VOL. XVI. POLITIC NEW YONKERS, N. Y. Jan. 18. 1906. The Colored Statesman of New York and Kings Co. are anxious to have representation on the new State committee when it shall have been reorganized and they are now laying pipes to accomplish this object. Mr. George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn, president of the Henry Highland Garnet Republican Club of that city and a few New York politicians are the chief promoters of the very brilliant scheme to organize a new colored central Republican committee to oust Mr. Chas. W. Anderson, who is still the committeeman-at-large and who will have to be reckoned with quite considerably before anything of the kind proposed to be done as advertised can come off. I do not view with favor these underhanded attempts of a lot of hungry place hunters to disorganize or to discredit the work of a man like Charles W. Anderson, who it must be admitted has worked his way to the front in this state as a political lead- ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 26, 1906. er, and established himself in the confidence of the most influential colored and white leaders in the state and nation by his dogged persistence, natural intelligence and pluck. There is not a man in the whole bunch of sore heads, some of whom have benefited politically through his influence in the past, who could, if made committee-man-at-large, begin to do even half as well as he has done, both before he was elected to that place and since. Mr. Wibecan of Brooklyn has for a long time had a most exaggerated opinion of his political influence and importance. Political he is an animated whiner—a plotter who is continually conjuring up schemes by which to keep in office when he is in, and to get in when he is out. Of commanding presence and attractive manner, and possessing the rudiments of a common school education, he has come to believe that he is a statesman and therefore is strenuously seeking a statesman's job. I learn that he wishes to succeed Mr. Anderson on the committeemanat-large, and as this cannot be done through the regular channels, and in the regular way such things are done, this new central committee has been proposed and all the kickers and ingrates whom Anderson has helped in one way or another, are invited to identify themselves with it, in the hope that it will become so formidable and potent a force in New York state politics that the leaders of the party will apologize to Mr. Wibecan for their egregious stupidity in not recognizing and acknowledging his masterful leadership years ago. I won't stand for an underhanded fight on Charley Anderson, simply because he has been a more successful and practical politician than some of the bunch of gnats now buzzing around his head. They cannot endorse him as committeeman at large and they cannot make Mr. Wibecan "IT" politically. The state committee, when it is reorganized will be the judge of the qualifications of its members, and if Chas. W. Anderson does not desire another term, he will be asked to indicate to the committee the colored Republican who in his judgment he thinks best fitted to serve, and I don't believe it will be Mr. Wibecan. Political iconoclasts are generally buried under the ruins of the structure they tear down. It is not at all politic or necessary to tear down the present organization to gratify the personal ambition of a receptive candidate for any job better than his present one. The tearing down business is a very disastrous pastime. Mr. Anderson has built so well and securely that it will require a great deal more influence than these disgruntled, ambitious and near - sighted gentlemen represent individually or collectively to loosen his political foundation.

Today he will make the initial payment on the church and parsonage at Twenty-sixth and Lawrence street. In March he will hold a grand rally, and has great hopes of clearing off the indebtedness by that time. FOR RENT—Furnished rooms with board. Call on Mrs. J. J.

PASTE DIAMONDS. The X Rays the Greatest Judge of False Jewelry. It seems the X rays have been proved to be the greatest judge of false jewels and that conservative lapidaries will soon trust to the X rays decision rather than believe their own eyes. In fact, the marvelous rays have detected very old paste diamonds of the time of Queen Elizabeth, which had at first deceived no less than Mr. Streeter, the famous London jeweler. A real diamond, ruby and pearl when photographed under the rays leave no impression whatever on the film. It is simply non-existent, says that authority. The false stone, on the contrary, comes out as a shadowy substance, and paste leaves a well defined form of dark color. Two photographs of a lady's hand thickly covered with heavily jeweled rings showed in one by the ordinary process all the stones; in the photograph taken under the X rays there were the shadowy outlines of flesh and the deeper shading of finger bones. But in each ring was an empty space the exact shape of the jewel, which, being genuine, had been transparent to the X rays. It is wondered if the burglar and jewel thief won't now think it worth while to put those terribly inquisitive rays on the swag before risking their liberty to carry it off? Since Mr. Streeter began to experiment with this detective, many owners of splendid jewels have been to him to test their genuineness. But, alas! there will be no more romances of stolen caskets with their precious contents changed to paste by unscrupulous husbands or wives? Ouida's novel, "The Americans," marks the end of such dishonest ructions in high life.—Boston Herald. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

The real article is a silvery white, fridescent gem, extracted from the pearl oyster. The genuine pearl is teally an unfructified egg of the oyster Its imitation is arrived at by @ chemical process. The liquid employ ed in the manufacture 1s called “es sence d’orlent.” The base of this compound is prepared by throwing in to water of ammonia the brilliant scales of a small river fish called the blay. The scales sre first carefully wash- ed and put to soak in water, when the Pearlylike film falls away and forms a sediment at the bottom of the ves sel. This sediment is worth to the manufacturer $25 an ounce. White wax of mucilage or gum ara bic forms part of the mixture proper for the more important and expensive imitations, such as those made to im} tate the rare oriental pearls which fetch fabulous prices. The emerald is another stone whick 1s cleverly imitated. A perfect emer ald is the rarest stone in the world, though the trade ranks it after thc ruby and the diamond. Tho best em:- eralds come from Peru, tb¢ \1aitatione from France, and a few frunt Birming: ham. The real article becomes elec tric by friction and herein lies the dif- ference between it and the Imitation. | Meares Bee taco Phone Main 3785. <~§~ ea Open till 3 a.m. A oh p i) Z ase Wie Leading Colored Cafe akg pos + Doamage in the West. 1918 Lawrence St. Denver, Colorado.

In Scene of Frightful Carnage Elderly Soldier Thought Only of Protecting His Young Master—His Own Wound Unnoticed. It was in the melee of blood and sword that I saw a sight that touched me deeply. I noticed two men in our ranks; and later I found out that the younger of these men came from a well-to-do Samurai family; the older man was also from the same place. In fact, the father of the older man had spent all his life in the service of the family from which the younger man came. On this terrific day, when they were within a few meters of the Russians, when they fought with rocks, swords and anything they could get hold of, I saw these men cling to each other closely. At the height of the bloody excitement the older seemed to be mindful of the younger always. At one time a few of the Russians actually succeeded in rushin, upon a part of our line. One of the Russians raised the butt of his rifle, about to strike the younger of these two men. Then I saw the older swing forward and literally hurl down the Russian with the bayonet through his body. A little later the young man was shot in the leg and fell. I saw the older man forget himself completely, forsake his gun, kneel down beside the young friend of his, and not finding a piece of cloth, he tore the front of his shirt. He stuffed a little piece of cloth into the bullet hole in the leg of his friend. Then, after a little while, because of the fierceness of action about me, I lost sight of these men. When I came upon them a few minutes later they were together, side by side. As I passed I said to the older man, who was half standing, always covering his young master: "Can't you manage to carry yourself to the rear with your friend—to the field hospital, or to some shelter from behind the hill?" "Oh, it is all right," he answered. "My young master is wounded a little, but he will recover in a minute, I think. Then we shall get at the Russians again." I pointed to the ragged wound which a Russian bullet had made upon his own shoulder. "Oh," he said, "that is a scratch. Don't mind that."—A Japanese Officer, in Leslie's Monthly Magazine. HOTEL WITH MANY BATHTUBS. Hostelry in New York City Unique for Its Convenience. There is rapidly approaching completion on Broadway a hotel building which has certain peculiarities of architecture which attract the attention of many who pass. The most striking thing about it is the small number of large windows and the large number of small windows. The large windows are single, rather than double, and on either side of each large window is a small one. One is at a loss to account for it, unless one happens to see a sign on the corner of the building, which says that the So-and-So hotel will be opened shortly with 300 rooms and 200 bathrooms." The small windows, of course, indicate the bathrooms. "They might have called it the Bathtub hotel," remarked an old hotel man, as he studied the building from THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. the opposite corner. "It is the most impressive evidence I've yet seen of the American craze for bathing. I can remember the time, and it was not so many years ago at that, when hotels thought they were well equipped if they had one bathroom on a floor, and we charged a quarter for towels and service. This new hotel, with nearly as many bath as guest rooms, shows to what extreme the traveling public has pushed the 'room and bath' idea. If it keeps on some enterprising hotel man will be offering a 'room and two baths,' and he'll find plenty of occupants."—New York Tribune. Russian Beauty Captures London. Mme. Catherine Tolstoi is regarded by many as the most beautiful young woman now in the British metropolis. She was widowed two years ago. Her husband, a captain in the Russian army, died of consumption and left her a very extensive estate. The cream of England's gilded youth are said to be at her feet, both on account of her physical charms and the fortune she will bring as a bridal dowry. It is reported, however, that she has refused the hands of dukes and barons and will soon marry a plain London barrister, without title or shekels. Indian Tonic for Marital Ills. A Western lawyer was expressing to a bystander his sympathy for Buffalo Bill as he read an account of his domestic troubles. "Any man," said the lawyer, "who has been so long associated with the Indians ought to know the sort of tonic to take to prevent being worried by his wife." "An Indian take a tonic!" exclaimed his hearer incredulously. "Sure," laughed the lawyer. "Didn't you ever hear that? He takes an' he licks her. An elixir, see!" A Matter of Business Rev. Robert Hudson of Binghamton, N. Y., has relinquished the robes of an Episcopalian clergyman to become second vice president of a national bank. He declares that he will be guided by his religious training in dealing with his fellow men. This statement acted as a balm to the wounded feelings of one parishioner, who deplored bitterly the clergyman's course. This man saw in the change one advantage to the church financially, and said to the reverend banker: "Your training, of course, will not let your forget that one-tenth is the Lord's share." "Certainly not," said the ex-preacher, emphatically, "neither do I forget that depositors receive 4 per cent and borrowers must pay 6 per cent. In proportion as you do business with this bank will the Lord's share increase." Convincing Evidence. In a secluded corner of one of Philadelphia's clubs the other evening a number of physicians were comfortably ensconced, and the talk turned to tales of their profession. One of the doctors present related the following at his own expense: "On a chilly morning last winter, as I returned to my office after several early and important visits, I asked of my servant, 'Thomas, did Mrs. S—get the medicine I ordered for her yesterday?' 'I suppose so,' replied Thomas; 'I see all the blinds are down this morning.'" As the gathering recovered from their laughter one of the fraternity re- It doesn't require a pull to go down hill. A plain duty is generally unattractive. Nothing is something that doesn't exist. No man is a bore who talks to you about yourself. It isn't always lucky to trust people who trust to luck. Divorced couples are generally damaged beyond re-pairing. About one man in a million makes love like the hero in a play. A great achievement doesn't need a brass band accompaniment. Those who yield to temptation are generally looking for a chance. Heaven won't be nearly exclusive enough to suit a lot of people. A man may keep his hands from getting callous, but not his conscience. The fellow who shoots off his mouth never seems to run out of ammunition. The people with more money than brains naturally have more dollars than sense. Many a married man talks in his sleep because that's the only chance he ever gets. Most of us are dissatisfied, some with what we have and some with what we haven't. We should love our enemies as we love ourselves, especially those of us who are our own worst enemies. THE LADIES. Japanese women gild their teeth. The ladies of Arabia swim their fingers and toes red. In Greenland women paint their faces blue and yellow. In India the women of three high castes paint their teeth black. A Hindu bride is anointed from head to foot with grease and saffron. Borneo women dye the hair in fantastic colors—pink, green, blue and scarlet. In New Holland scars, made carefully with shells, form elaborate patterns on the ladies' faces. In New Guinea the ladies wear nose rings, piercing the nose in the same way that civilized women pierce the ears. In some South American tribes the women draw the front teeth, esteeming as an ornament the black gap thus made. FEW LITTLE TRAILERS. Only fool's think that they can't make mistakes. Too much credit is apt to do more in the way of warm than is no credit at all. Self-adulation carries with it a sense of contempt for the position of others. Marrying for money brings the bride and the bridegroom into a light too bright to be pleasant. Decry dress as one may it must be acknowledged it adds materially to popularity in every-day life. A sacrifice for the welfare of some one does double duty by producing a feeling of self-satisfaction. When the expected happens there comes a feeling of disappointment because it was just as expected. Before going into a scheme that seems to promise great returns put away enough money to pay for a return ticket. FROM A STAGE WIT. A man with a clear conscience never objects to the word hell. The only thing good about "drinking" is that it rhymes with "thinking." I just had a good night's rest and I'm ready to commence all over again. I'm getting the biggest salary ever paid an actor, and the hit is, I pay it to myself. Shakespeare said: "The play is the thing." By the way, it's one of the best things William ever said. Certain party called me the "kind applause comedian." "Twas a member of the barnstorming syndicate. Shocking Confession. Benedict is a New Haven man who has been eight times the father of a bouncing bounder. In the outskirts of the university city is a little town among the hills named Prospect, and last year four of the children were sent there for the summer. One day Benedict and his wife entertained at dinner a new acquaintance, Prof. B. The professor is a bachelor, and, like many scholarly men, rather ill at ease in society. "What a fine little family of children you have," he began with an admiring glance at the four stay-at-homes. "Yes, indeed," replied Benedict proudly, "and we have four more in Prospect." The professor blushed his astonishment—Lippincott's. --- Spending Millions on Golf. A Quebec paper figures out that in the United States and Canada there is spent yearly the enormous sum of $15,000,000 on golf. This includes the cost of clubhouses and links, their maintenance, the wages of caddies and servants, the cost of golfing suits, sticks and balls and all other expenses.

CURIOUS POINTS IN DECAY OF NOBLE FAMILIES. No Descendants Left of Men Whose Deeds Adorn the Pages of English History—Nature Seems to Set Lirnit to Glory of One Line. The recent death of a young nobleman, who, to recall a very old phrase, had during his short life been apparnetly possessed of more money than wit, reminds one again, if, indeed, reminder be necessary, that many and many an ancient family has either entirely passed away or has fallen from its former high estate. The curious thing about such decadence is that the families of illustrious men are somewhat prone to deterioration; reminding one of the saying that when a human race has given birth to its bright consummate flower it seems commonly to be near its end. There is not now living a single descendant in the male line of Chaucer, Shakspeare, Spenser, Milton, Cowper, Butler, Dryden, Pope, Cowley, Goldsmith, Scott, Byron or Moore; not one of Sir Philip Sidney, or, I believe of Sir Walter Raleigh; not one of Drake, Cromwell, Hampden, Monk, Peterborough or Nelson; not one of Stafford, Ormonde, or Clarendon; not one of Addison, Swift or Johnson; not one of Bolingbroke, Walpole, Chatham, Pitt, Fox, Burke, Grattan, Canning, or Disraelf; not one of Bacon, Locke, Newton or Davy; not one of Hume, Gibbon or Macaulay; not one of Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds; not one of David Garrick, John Kemble or mund Kean. It should be remembered that many of the families of the above mentioned illustrious band simply died out; but in the case of a large number of this country's old families the decadence or disappearance can too often be laid to other causes, for it has well been said that the ruin of great families may very generally be traced to personal extravagance, gradual decay, electioneering, contests, expensive ostentation or the alienation of estates through heiresses. For instance, a letter appears in the Gentleman's Magazine for December 1889, in which mention is made of the family of Conyers, famous landowners in the north country, but one of whose last representatives squandered his whole fortune in scenes of the lowest dissipation, and whose uncle and heir, Thomas Conyers, was found living in his 72d year as a pauper in the parish workhouse of Chester-le-st, whither he had come after a life "perhaps of much imprudence, certainly of much hardship, after an unsuccessful attempt in a humble business and a subsequent service of several years at sea." Again, descendants of the great Plantagenets were said in the seventeenth century to be following the trade of cobblers, while in comparatively recent times an alleged descendant of Edward III. was found in the person of a sexton at a West End church —London Queen. Conceit is self-deceit. - Love is the flavor of life. - The only Fate is Fatulty. - Humor is intellect at play. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. French Fond of Vegetables. Vegetables are great features in French households, and neither potatoes, beans, peas nor cauliflowers are ever served plainly boiled. Cauliflower cut into small pieces and served with a rich bechamel sauce is a favorite dish, and potatoes and carrots cut in rounds are often cooked in the same way, while beans and peas are greatly improved by the addition of a little butter, salt and pepper. They stew pears to perfection, whole, in syrup, peeled and with the stalks left on. After they are thoroughly cooked they are put on a sieve to dry and cool, and the syrup is cooked a little more, a little red wine being added and sometimes lemon peel to flavor it. For the Amateur Photographer. "Grain" is the enemy of the photographer who interests himself in copying. The best means of obviating its appearance is to "light" the picture evenly, but this not being always possible, expedients are necessary. One is to cover the space between the picture and lens with tissuepaper; another (if the picture is unmounted), to moisten the print and press it into contact with a sheet of glass, while frequently the application of encaustic paste will reduce in a very marked degree the "grainy" appearance of the print.—London Answers. A Medical Estimate of Prayer. At the recent annual meeting of the British Medical association Dr. Theodore B. Hyslop, superintendent of Bethlem Royal hospital, a specialist in neurology and in the treatment of mental disease, said: "As an alienist and one whose whole life has been concerned with the sufferings of the mind, I would state that of all hygienic measures to counteract disturbed sleep, depressed spirits and all the miserable sequels of a distressed mind, I would undoubtedly give the first place to the simple habit of prayer."—The Outlook. The Mother Tongue. A volume from Germany, "The New Opera Glass," containing "the plots of the most popular operas," affords the following concerning Goetz's "The Taming of the Refractory": Fourth act—Room in Petruchio's house. Petruchio bursting for anger about all things; nothing can satisfy him. Katharine is nearly broken in the hearth, but she loves him and her refractory, ist justly going away. Petruchio also loves her and after some quarrels their hearths are finding together to a happy life." Scent as Cure for Illis. Everybody knows in this country that the fumes of camphor and ammonia will benefit certain ills. And by the same sign, the inhalation of certain scents will cure nervousness and other scents will cure headaches and indigestion. Those who are enthusiasts on the subject say that you can cure everything in the world if you will use the right odor for it. I am bel olden to the man who tell me what is good to eat; but the man who insists on telling me what it good to read ends by boring me imbursely. I have been struck by the number of railroad conductors who sit up late they seem to have some sort of preface against "turning in."—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

That Adversity is an evil of which nothing good can be said. That Labor is an irksome condition through which money may be made. That Fear is an evil which sooner or later all men must harbor. That War is a political expedient resulting in the readjustment of power. But the Wise Know. That Economy is cutting down the cost of necessities. That Gentleness is a proof of the true courage of manhood. FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" 80 STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continuously since about 1885 and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW", was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. In all that long period of time there has never been a bottle returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. FORD's HAIR POMADE remains sweet and effective, no matter how long you keep it. Be sure to get Ford's, as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. Remember that Ford's, Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put only in 60 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford Preset. on each package.

Gpecies Seldom Lift Up Their Voices In Gladneas. The venerable Susan B. Anthony, at the National Suffrage Association's convention, in Portland, Ohio, insisted on the value of special education and special training. “Tt is ut less,” she said, “to a‘tempt to reform or to elevate businesses or customs that we have not thoroughly studied. When, in ignorance, we try to set right and to help the world, we do yr harm than good. We make fools of ourselves. “Indeed, we are then like a little girl whom I knew when I was edit- ing the ‘Revolution.’ The child went with her teacher one afternoon to vis- {t the county prison.

They raust be a great comfort to you.’ KNEW AUDITORS WERE THERE. Not Necessary That the Orator Should See Them. Chief Justice John A. Peters of Maine was a man of national reguta ‘fon for wit, genialify and humor, be sides possessing many of the solid gvalifies of the jurist and statesman. On one occasion when runring for Congress he went to Bangor to make a epeech. This was the signal for the assembling of \he rough rvermen from far and wide. The day was dull and gloomy, atd Bangor was a wide- open town, The result can be im- agined. When the’ time for the meeting came the square in front of the prin- cipal hotel was filled by a noisy, good- natured and chaffing crowd, whose actions betokened the kind of spirtt that animated them. When Peters came upon the baleony he was flanked by blazing lights that made him per- feetly visible, but the darkness before him was intenified. Silence reigned but the judge thus began his speech: “Fellow-citizens, I cannot see you, but I can smell you!" There was a shout and a ronr, which soon subsided. After the speech, of course bubbling over with wit was over, a friend remarked (to bim: “Peters, you are the only man tn Maine that could have said what you did at the start without a row.” Which was undoubtedly true. oe Sins of the Father.

Although the floating gardens of Mexico were at one time of great celebrity, covered with rare tropical plants and brilliant with gay colored flowers, yet still more interesting are the rural floating islands which are now being swept seaward on the great rivers of South America by hundreds and thousands, large and small and swarming with a menagerie of wild and excited animals. The zoological gardens of Buenos Ayres have received an addition of about fifty different species of tropical animals rescued from the islands passing down the Rio de la Plata. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Harrison, a practicing physician and surgeon from Wichita, Kan., arrived in our city a few days ago. The Doctor has been in poor health for some time, caused by a serious spell of fpneumonia, from which he hopes to find a cure through the healthful climate of New Mexico. Dr. Harrison has hung his shingle in the Amigo Building, and will begin the practice of medicine at once. He came to us well recommended from Wichita, where he ranked as one of the leading physicians of that city. He is a graduate of the Bellevue Medical Institute of New York. He is the first colored doctor, to our knowledge, that ever practiced medicine in this city, and we hope for him a good patronage among his own people especially, and with patience and perseverence we bespeak for him a successful business in his new field. We are sure that our climate will benefit his health. Vance Green, the train porter, has returned from a three weeks' trip to his home in Bola, I. T.

P. Bass. It was simply superb. The Mecca even outdid its own unrivaled reputation for decorations in honor of the event.

She led the guests, closely followed by Mrs. Holmes in her white dress, with brilliant stones ‘giving the ruby and emerald effect; Miss Florence Crawford wore a purple zibelyne with pearl ornani ‘nts, while Mrs. D.

Each plate had be- side it a souvenir which bore these words: “A long life and a merry one,” with a wishbone tied to a card by red ribbon. In the center of the table were large roses of red, with red car- natiop pinks shooting up into the air. Someone spilled the cup of laughter at the beginning, which afterward showed its presence until the close of the dinner. Appropriate toasts, funny stunts and live jokes each had their part to play.
