Wilson of Sehuyler, Nebr., announce the engagement of their daughter. Marion Hortense, to Mr. Arthur Williams of this city. The Woman's Club achieved a signal success in their charity entertainment at East Turner Hall Thursday night. It was swell in every way. The ladies rendered a fine program, their own solos and chorus work being the feature. The Navajo Indian costumes of the ladies were among the finest that appear on the professional stage. The men were at a discount rendering the smallest possible service. A male quartet, Messrs. Oyerton, Carrie, Slade and Rogers, was fine. Mr. Rogers is a superb ballad singer. Holley's Orchestra gave some splendid numbers on the program and charmed all by their music for dancing. The West is patterning after the East with avidity. Prof. Holley, the violinist, and the Harris Orchestra were the musicians Wednesday at the opening of the dancing pavilion of the Mecca Cafe. In opening this miniature Trocadero, Lacy and Scott, have achieved a notable stroke of en- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, FEB. 2, 1906. terprise. All who were present at the opening marveled at its completeness and comfort. It is prettily draped adorned with palms with a platform for the orchestra. Elsewhere is a notice from the management of the use the public can make of it. Wonderful progress is being made on the Golden Chest Mine. From the latest developments it is only a matter of a short while when it will be a steady shipper. There is nothing to compete with the ladies of the Church of the Redeemer for popularity. Their entertainment at Manitou Hall next Thurs day night will receive patronage from all who know where to get a good time. There are opportunities for fun in the fancy dressing. If you do not make it yourself go and see the others. Charles Turner has gone to Telluride.

D. Foster of Chicago. Twenty-eight ladies responded to her invitations. Japanese decorations were used throughout the parlors. The place cards were Japanese fans and the beautifully gowned ladies seated about the three tables under the softened lights made a dream picture. Mrs. M. Renfro and Mrs. J. Flynn wish to extend their thanks to Mrs. George Porter, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. B. Helm and others for their kindness shown in the illness and death of their daughter and sister, Mrs. Pearl Trust. May the blessings of Heaven rest upon them.

Little 10-Year-Old Mary Urbaua's Lenely Voyage. The circle of American young people has been added to by the arrival of Mary Urbano from Austro-Hungary, says the Young People’s Weekly. The remarkable thing about it is that she came all the way over land and se. alone. “I am Mary Urbana. Send me to Hazleton, Pa., U. S. A.,”” was writ- ten on the tag attached to the walst- band of this little ten-year-old woman. That and the tickets for her transpor- tation was all the safeguard she had for her journey. Mary's parents were dead, and as she had expressed the desire to go and live with some rela- tives in Hazleton, certain of the peo ple of her native town procured for her the necessary transportation and wrote the directions, While this new Ameri ean girl could not speak one word of any language but Hungarian, she un- dertook the journey with resolution The tears filled her eyes as she sailed away from Europe to the mysterious land that awaited her far beyond the blue seas, but #he gave no other signs of childieuness, and the officers of the hip on which she came say that they never had a passenger who caused them less trouble. Of course, every One on the great vessel was kind to her when it was learned how brave a Journey she was making, and all the Dassengers tried to make the trip as pleasant for her as possible. She ar- rived in safety at Hazleton, a little the worse for the unpleasant incidents of the rough seas which assail nearly | every one. She was met at the railway station by her relatives, and made her gladness apparent by a free expression of her feeling in her native tongue. She was soon fitted out with the Am- perieaD style of clothing, and she is now striving resolutely to master the | intricacies of the Englisb language, Attention! “The Statesman” We want to call your attention to our Job Printing Department.

Bishop Unaccustomed to Such Familiar Mode of Address. The county of Lunenburg, in Nova Scotia, was settled by Germans, and the children of these settlers are still German, says an eastern writer. At one of the little hotels in the town of the same name a party of drummers were waiting for the boat. They were well primed, and ready for any lark, when in strolled a well known character, Nell Hyson, also a little "sprung." In the parlor stood a solitary individual dressed in the garb of a minister. Neil spied this man, and asked the leader of the jokers if he thought the stranger would drink with him. "Sure," said the leader, "but he is the bishop of Nova Scotia, and you must call him 'my lord.' Hyson marched up to the stranger, and giving him a familiar slap on the back, shouted: "Mine Gott, bishop, you drinks mitt me!" What the fiery bishop said (he was none other than Bishop Courtney, former preacher at St. Paul's, Boston) I did not learn. An Old Epitaph. An old churchyard near London is famous for the inscriptions on its bombastones. There is one on the memorial of Susannah Barford, died, 1652, met. 10 years and 13 weeks. The concluding lines beneath the skull and crossbones on her monument are: Her stage was short, her thread was quickly spunn. Drawne out and cutt, got heaven, her worke was done. This world to her was but a traged play. Shea came and saw't, dislik't, and passed away. Golden Chest Mining & Milling Co. 1223 19th St. Richard Evans, 2045 Arapahoe St. R. G.

Impossible to Have Too Much of Either That or Sunshine. It is quite impossible for a thoroughly healthy person to have too much daylight. One might as well say it is impossible to have too much fresh air. Daylight does not mean the direct glare of the sun. And a healthy person is not one whose eyes demand darkness. Whether the house furnishing is rich or mean does not matter in the least. There are mansions in which one feels gloomy, despite the evidences of wealth, and there are cottage homes that make one sing from lightness of heart. Let the light into the rooms. See that stairways and passages are bright as the garden outside. Shun the "dim religious light" as you would the plague. It has much dimness and precious little religion about it.—Exchange. 一 For Larger Lives. In Heaven, they say, is undisturbed and perfect peace; and yet Along our heartstrings, even there, a tremor of regret Must sometimes wander into pain, if memory survives— A grief that in this good, great world we lived no larger lives. God moves our planet gloriously among the starry spheres. And nobler movements for our souls through these our mortal years. In widening orbits toward Himself eternally He planned; We creep and rust in treadmill groves—we will not be made grand. Yet souls that win immortal heights unclogged with self must move! The only thing that we can take from earth to Heaven is love! To make us great like Thee, O God! Thy Spirit with us strives! Enlarge our lives to take Thee int O give us nobler lives! —Lucy Larcom. --- COMING EVENTS To prevent clashes in dates of entertainments, we offer space free of charge under this head for a preliminary notice of any event.

Westbrook SERMON SERVED GOOD PURPOSE. Sudden Delivery of Theology Made Horse Stop and Think. What was possibly the most convincing sermon in the world was never preached; it was devoted to another use. Archbishop Tait was driving along a country road poring over the manuscript of his sermon as he rode. His attention was attracted by a roar and a clatter behind and turning round he saw a horse attached to a huge lorrie careering down a hill at a gallop. The animal was beyond the control of its driver and was making straight for the back of the dogcart in which the archbishop was riding. The runaway drew rapidly nearer, but Tait waited calmly, and, as it thundered up to the light trap, he selected the psychological moment. Then with all his force he flung the many-leaved sermon full in its face. The runaway stopped short to think it over and as he did so his driver got him in hand again and the situation was saved. "The poor beast had never had such a 'blatter' of theology before," was the archbishop's comment. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Bridge Whist an Absorbing Game. The following is being told "on" a Kansas City couple, whose marriage was announced recently. The young man persuaded the girl to marry him while they were in another town on an excursion trip. They came home and for two weeks told no one of their secret. One night they were playing bridge whist with the girl's parents. They had decided to spring their surprise that night, and the young man was trying all through the game to get up nerve enough to do so. Finally he screwed his courage up. In the middle of a hand he turned to the girl's father and said: "Ive something to tell you. Grace and I were married three weeks ago." A look of anger spread over the father's face. Glaring across the board at the girl's mother, he said: "Hang it, Hattie! What made you lead that ace? You've lost us another trick."—Kansas City Times. Only One of Club Left. Originally the O'Reilly club of Boston was the "Four of Us," and the members were Boyle O'Reilly, Patrick A. Collins, J. F. McEvoy and T. J. Carvan. Beginning in 1870, they met every Saturday afternoon at Ober's for luncheon and talk. McEvoy died in 1883, O'Reilly died in 1900 and Collins was buried last week. Garvan alone is left.

The recent sale of Battle Abbey for £200,000—a figure at which the property is considered almost ruinously cheap—gives some small idea of the vast sums that may be expended on one's domicile. Eaton Hall, the duke of Westminster's Cheshire seat, cost the late holder of the title considerably over a million sterling to build, and probably even this figure would go only a very small way toward purchasing any one of the same score of London houses as they stand. Perhaps none of these palaces strike the visitor with a vivid sense of their wealth more than do Spencer house, in Arlington street, and Norfolk house, in St. James' square. Stafford house, St. James' palace, the largest of them by far, contains probably more money's worth than any of the others, but it is not so lavishly decorated. With regard to the bedrooms, £700 apiece may be paid for some of the suites, and £100 for the beds. These figures are by no means fancy prices that it would be difficult to spend. One may discover that for a single sideboard without any history or age to enhance its value the sum of £500 may be paid; for a suite to accompany it another £500; for a carpet for the dining room £750; for curtains for the same room £12 a yard; on fireplace and mantelpiece £300 may be laid out; the tapestry and carved paneling with which to clothe the walls will cost £100 per panel, and the ceiling, if a Whistler or a Sargent decorates it, will run away with £6,000. Altogether, one may invest £11,170 on the dining-room—one of the cheapest apartments in the house. The mere mural decorations in the grand drawing-room will cost more, and its other appointments four or five times as much. Then there will be three or four smaller drawing-rooms, boudoirs, and music-rooms to furnish at a proportionate cost; a morning room or two, which will cost a mere £10,000 apiece; a library, that cannot very well be furnished in keeping with the rest for less than £12,000, including books. On the Right Track. Dr. Weir Mitchell relates the sad case of a young woman from Baltimore affecting literary fads who attended a reception given by a Philadelphia woman in honor of a well-known writer. The young woman from Baltimore was introduced to the whole roomful of more or less celebrated individuals, and it seemed to be a circumstance on which she prided herself that she could remember an amazing proportion of the names of those present. When, however, she came to say farewell to a certain rather distinguished young man, who, by the way, was probably the only person there who was not of a "literary" turn, she remarked: "Do you know, I've remembered very nearly all the names, but when it comes to yours I must confess that I'm entirely at sea." With a smile the young man replied, "Then you're not far from wrong. My name is Atwater."—New York Times. Where the Laugh Comes In. "He doesn't appear to have the least sense of humor." "He doesn't! You ought to hear him laugh at his bosses' jokes."—Souston Post. MARRIAGE AMONG THE HINDOOS. Considered by Them as Permanent Spiritual Relation. The relation of a Hindoo husband to his wife is not like a contract sanctioned by the court of justice, but it is a permanent spiritual relation which binds two souls together. A wife is regarded, therefore, as a true helpmate in the spiritual progress of the soul life of her husband, while a faithful husband is considered to be the greatest blessing in the earthly and spiritual career of his wife. When she becomes a mother she represents divine motherhood and holds a unique position in the household. A Hindoo mother is actually worshiped as a living goddess by her children. The children are taught to obey their parents implicitly and to serve them like earthly deities as long as they live. To support the parents in their old age, to look after their welfare and to fulfill their desires, are the duties of children in every Hindoo household. But a mother is considered to be "greater than a thousand fathers." The Pessimist. A. J. Cassatt, the president of the Pennsylvania railroad, is an amateur farmer of great excellence. Mr. Cassatt praised the other day the fine year that farmers generally he had. Then, with an annoyed laugh, he said: "But I have a neighbor, near Chesterbrook, an incorrigible pessimist, whom I can't get to acknowledge a good season ever.

Church authorities state that the remains of the apostles of Christ are now in the following places: Seven are in Rome, namely, Peter, Philip, James the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon. Three are in the kingdom of Naples—Matthew (at Salerno), Andrew (at Amalfi) and Thomas (at Ortano). One is in Spain—James the Greater, whose remains are at St. Jago de Compostella. Of the body of St. John the Evangelist, the remaining one of the twelve, there is no knowledge. The Evangelists Mark and Luke are also in Italy—the former at Venice and the latter at Padua. St. Paul's remains are believed to be in Italy. Peter's are, of course, in the church of Rome which is called after him, as are also those of Simon and Jude. Those of James the Lesser and Philip are in the Church of the Holy Apostles; Bartholomew's in the church on the island in the Tiber called after him; Matthias' are in the Santa Maria Maggiore, under the great altar of the renowned Basilica. --- Mr. and Mrs. D.

QNAKE AS A HYPNOTIST. Power Over its Victims Now Expiain- ed on Occult Grounde. Hypnotism has been advanced as an explanation of the peculiar fasci- nation exercised by serpents over weak anim@'s which become se infu: enced by the eyes and body move ments of their charmer that they are easily captured. Birds, squirrels and mice are the readiest victims. According to the instances observed the doomed animals seem to realize their danger, but are powerless to Tesist the influence. Sometimes a diversion, such as a sudden nolse, will break the spell. It may have been, fa the instances observed, that the vic- tim was a parent trying to distract ihe snake's attention from {ts young and approaching Incautiously too near ite enemy. Or there may have bees An attraction by curiosity or antipathy, the victim becoming careless of its danger through anger or wea through terror. The explanation that & state of bypnosis is induced is rem sonable. The commen hen may be readily hypnotized and music renders some mammals incapable of movement. The first move of the snake's victim may be one of curlosity. Thea the snake may, even without being aware of it, exert its hypeotic influence and, see {ag its prey within reach, naturally Avail itself of its opportunity. FAITHFUL TO DEATH FAITHFUL TO DEATH STORY OF DEVOTION TOLD BY JAPANESE OFFICER. 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 rushing 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 ferceness 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. "I didn't you ever hear that? He takes an' he licks her. An elixir, see!" An International Catastrophe. Major Smith was seated at the dinner table with his guests on Thanksgiving Day. The colored waiter was just entering with a smoking hot turkey, when he slipped and fell to the floor, together with a crash of dishes. The Major, arising from the table, held up his hands and said: "Gentlemen, a great calamity has just befallen us; here we have the downfall of Turkey, the breaking up of China, the spilling of Greece and the humiliation of Africa." Completing the Quotation. Little Elmer (who has an inquiring mind)—"Papa, what is the rest of the old saying about people living in glass houses should not—what papa?" Prof. Broadhead—"Should not have neighbors within a stone's throw, I imagine, my son."—Puck. Plenty of Bait. "Dear me," pouted the young wife, who was wedded to a disciple of Izaak Walton, "I don't see why a man can't go fishing without carrying a horrid bottle." "My husband never carries a bottle," confided the matron next door. "How nice of him." "No, he carries a demljohn. But my grandfather was a great fisherman. He never carried either a bottle or a demljohn." "Noble man. He must have been splendid." "Yes, he always carried 3 leg." BY THE GENTLE CYNIC. 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 stain 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 fools think that they can make mistakes. Too much credit is apt to do more in the way of harm 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 "kint applause comedian." "I was 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.

It must be joy to the heart of every race lover to learn of the advancement which has come to Richard Porter. For three years he has been assistant bartender at the Democratic Club, being the first colored man to be employed there in any capacity. He has now taken the position of bartender which has always been filled by whites and has had his salary raised to what his predecessor has been receiving. Since his employment there he has made openings for three colored men, the last being Henry Hinkle who will be his assistant. Sobriety, punctuality and competency count, whether in a colored or white man and it is to these that his rise is due. The prominence of the club in politics and sport make it doubly good that one of us has a chance to show what he can do there. It has more than 1,500 members. ```markdown ``` St.Valentine Entertainment I. O. O. C. at MANITOU H at NITOU HA at MANITOU HALL. WE NEED THE MONEY Thursday, PINN'S JERSEY and Gr Thursday, Feb. 15.

In spite of the standing joke about the weather man, it is probable that for every dollar spent on the weather bureau $10 are saved. At the time of the Mississippi flood of 1897 $15,000.000 worth of live stock and other valuable property were saved as a result of warnings issued a week ahead. Signals displayed for a single hurricane have detained in port vessels valued, with the cargoes, at $20,000,000. The West Indian stations, established in 1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon as they begin. The course of the hurricane that caused the Galveston flood was charted for a week before it struck our shores—for hurricanes move slowly.

Schoolboy Manufactured Nelson Relic. A well-known Norfolk landowner makes the statement that the brick bearing Nelson's initials preserved under a glass case at Paston grammar school is not a relic of the great admiral, but was the result of a schoolboy's "lark" about twenty-four years ago. At that time Rider Haggard's father stated that Nelson, while at the school had carved his initials on one of the walls. As the boys could not find the brick bearing the initials, one of them conceived the brilliant idea of supplying the defect, which he promptly did, filling up the initials with moss and earth to give them a properly ancient appearance. The Norfolk landowner declares that he saw the boy do it, that there are other eyewitnesses living, and that if he is challenged he will give their names. HOW MOROS MAKE FIRE. There is still in use among the Moros a curious apparatus for making fire. The apparatus consists of a bamboo stick, a bit of china and tinder. The whole, connected with cords, is worn at the belt of the owner. When he wants a fire the native takes the bamboo firmly in the left hand and right hand holds the bit of the finger and thumb and on the th b side he pinches a bit of tinder. The edge of the china is then struck sharply down and along the bamboo. A bit of the bamboo is scraped off, not much, because the wood is hard and the outside has quite a glaze, but enough to be made incandescent by the stroke, producing a bright and long spark. The tinder catches this spark and flame is the result. Very little practice is required to enable even a novice to light a fire by this means. Sober Second Thought. A farm laborer who was getting married found that he had not enough money with which to pay the minister's fee. He promised, however, to pay him in potatoes when they were ready for digging up. The minister waited for some time, but no potatoes were forthcoming; so he called upon the man and inquired the reason. "Well, to tell you the truth, guvner." was the reply. "I'd like to give you the fines, out she didn't worth it." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ASTOR'S FINE ESTATE EX-AMERICAN MAKING FAIRYLAND OF ENGLISH HOME. Enormous Sum of Money Being Spent to Convert Hever Castle Into One of the Most Beautiful Spots on the Face of the Earth. Amazing wonders are being wrought by William Waldorf Astor, the American millionaire and naturalized British subject, upon the historic Never estate in Kent, which he recently purchased, says the London Mirror. The artistic owner is spending money with a lavish hand in beautifying the expanse of 2,000 acres that spread around the old moated castle. Though the cost of the undertaking is probably not definitely known to Mr. Astor himself, the popular estimate is that £1,250,000 will be expended upon the improvements during the next two years. There is no busier area in industrial England to-day. About 1,000 men of all trades have taken up their residence in the neighborhood. The road, which hitherto led close to the castle, has been diverted and now passes some hundred yards further away. To make this new road it has been necessary to build two bridges over the river Eden, which winds through the estate. Round the castle masons and carpenters are building a picturesque model village, toned to harmonize with the gray old walls of the castle. A bridge built across the moat joins the new buildings with the old. But the most gigantic part of the work is the making of a lake where formerly green meadows stretched. This lake will cover an area of nearly fifty acres and will be sixteen feet in depth. In its present topsy-turvey state the estate suggests Clapham Junction, for everywhere run railway lines, and fussy little engines sport up and down. Each day 750 truck loads of soil are carried away to make a bed for the great lake. Round the outer edge of the estate runs a fine deer fence, and a pond is being dug. High up on the hill a model farm has been built with every modern and most perfect appliance. Close behind the castle an Italian garden is being laid out, surrounded by high walls, with many niches and stone brackets for statues. The utmost rigor is observed to keep the public from entering the estate and from taking photographs of the building as it rises. Workmen have been discharged at a moment's notice who have tried to snapshot the operations. Only a few days ago a well-known member of the peerage motored over for the purpose of taking a snapshot or two of the place. No allowance was made for the distinguished visitor; he had to depart empty-handed. Mr. Astor himself takes the keenest interest in his great project, and is constantly down at Hever watching the working of the miracle. Hever castle is of great antiquity and was built by Sir William Hever in the reign of Edward III. It was here that Henry VIII. domiciled Anne of Clevege. The only bald-headed man who cope to have his hair restored is the who advertises for his lost wig, ftering a liberal reward.

"A certain Mr. Stolzemburg, who lives in America, announces that the works attributed to Shakespeare were written by a syndicate," says a writer. "Mr. Stolzemburg must have been living a long way out of the current of affairs, or he would know that his theory is old-fashioned. Homer was a syndicate. Scott was a syndicate. Don't we all know that Dumas employed many hands on his romances? Now the really interesting discovery about the man who wrote Shakespeare is that he was a native of Bayeux, whose name was Jacques Pierre, which was easily corrupted into Shakespeare."

Barr—Veteran Is in Favor ef Time Allowance, : Now that the Apache has passed the Lizard, Capt. Samuel Samuels sug- gests that the race for the German em- peror’s cup was “no great shakes” in point of speed, says the New York Commercial. Everybody in the New York shipping world knows Capt. Sam- nels. Not to know him argues oneself unknown. Since the days when Capt. Ambrose Snow used to adorn the ban- quets of the marine society with his presence and his speeches, Capt. Sam- uels has held the post of patriarch among those of us who go down to the sea in ships. He is admiral of the fleet, retired. If he has done the role of Capt Cuttle occasionally, who will quarrel with him? He is a philosopher, and a philosopher may select any medium of disseminating wisdom. Be it under- stood that he is not behind his age in the science of navigation merely be cause ne safied a clipper ship Dread- naught more than helf a century ago. No other American has ker t a sharp er eye upon shipping developments im the interval than he. Capt. Samuels and the Dreadnaught in 1859 made better time than Capt. Barr and the Atlantic in 1905. This is a matter of history, The exploits of the “wild boat of the Atlantic,” as his ship was known to the superstitious tars of her day. are written in the chronicles of Gotham. Hea nine days and seventeen bours between hew York and Queenstown was a much sprightlier performance than Barr's ‘twelve days, four hours and three “minutes between New York and the Lizard. | A wonderful creature waa the Dread- aught. Longfellow, who saw her once off Nantucket under royals, called her a “white eagle skimming the wave.” Mayne Reid got inspiration for a tale ‘from her dashing runs; John Boyle O'Reilly used to toast her memory at clambakes, and there was a British consul, a friend of Robert Louls Ste- vepron, who persuaded that novellst to promise to put the Dreadnaught in a story of castaways en the {sland of Terre del Fuego, off whose dismal shores she met her fate In 1869. Meanwhile Capt. Samue's—of the same stuff as John Paul Jones of the Bon Homme Richard—rises to observe that there can be no fair racing be tween unevenly matched vessels with- out a time allowance.

C. A. FRANKLIN, EDITOR. One year ... $2.00 Six months... Entered at the postoffice, Denver, Black Phone us your Phone us your Entered at the postoffice, Denver, Colorado, as second class mailmatter. Three years ago the editor of this paper called upon several of the Republican leaders who shape the actions of the party in this state and after setting forth the situation of colored Republicans, was given assurances that all was not being done for the colored brother that he deserved and each one of them promised that he would add all he could of influence and effort to giving him what was due. But alas for our hopes. That very year saw the killing of a resolution which was presented to the state convention asking that the state organization denounce the crimes against colored Americans. The Colorado type of politician abounds in oleaginous suavity and promises but does nothing except to convince one that all men are liars until they prove themselves truthful. One of these oily bosses was Frank Howbert who is so powerful now in building up a faction and securing places for his favorites but who has yet a blank page for the good things he does for Negroes. The chairman of the state central committee is another. Congressman Bonynge and Hogg have done nothing to show that they even consider their colored constituents. But they have the excuse that Congressman-at-large Brooks is the dispenser of patronage for the --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. IMS.

Brooks told us face to face that "he could only secure one such place in six months," referring to federal positions for colored Coloradoans. He has been in Congress four years. It has been a year since he said this yet he has not a single appointment to his credit. Wonder if he thinks to cozen us forever, or is he foolish enough to think a few letters full of regrets for his inability to make good, will satisfy? Richard Broad is trying to run the state and especially such part of it as will elect Guggenheim senator. If he wants colored votes for his wishes, it is passing strange that he does nothing to further his interests with us. The same is true of John F. Vivian and all the other suns and stars that give light to white voters but are in the eclipse for us. Some day when votes are to be influenced this precious crowd will have the colored janitors' pay at the postoffice raised from $540 per year to $700 which the white janitor gets and then will expect us to be thankful. Six places in the mint were promised by some of them and more by others. Yet now when a dozen Negroes have qualified they excuse themselves by pleading the civil service regulations. It is odd that they were unmindful of this when they --- All this is bad enough but not content with despising and misusing us, this crowd has deliberately thwarted the will of the great body of Republican voters and imposed their will upon the convention denying to colored people representation on the legislative ticket and are thereby directly responsible for the shameful laws on the Colorado statutes whereby a colored girl is at the mercy of the lecherous instincts of white men without the same redress which is given a white girl in the courts. It may seem little to prevent the nomination of a colored man for the legislature, but when thereby is lost all our hope for the protection of our young womanhood, the case becomes important. We know of our own knowledge that the nomination of J. W. Jackson would have met the approval of the Republican county convention a year ago, yet by the will of this star chamber assembly he was not. tI is habit to ascribe to the party the bad deeds of a coterie of carpet bag statesmen. Nothing is more wrong. The party is good but the machine is rotten, ROTTEN!

Young Russian's Pathetic Gratitude to Japanese Officer. A Japanese officer, writing of the scenes after the battle of Mukden, gives the following incident: "Among the wounded Russians upon the field was a boy of barely 16 or 17, a drummer boy, shot through both legs. He held a rosary in his hands, praying. Poor mite, the pity of it! He was a Pole, I believe, as he spoke German. He was so thirsty that my bottle was not enough for him, so another half of the bearer's bottle was given to him, too, and he had some biscuits. I had a strong yearning to ask him about his home, but he was weak, and his spirit needed keeping up. 'Your wound is nothing,' I said. 'The Japanese hospital attendant will be here soon and take you away. And soon you will be able to go home to your parents.' "Covering him up with blankets and coats taken from the Russian dead, I was just walking away when he cried out after me. 'A moment, officer, a moment. Kind officer, I have something to give to you—this book. It was given to me by my father when I was leaving home for the front. I have nothing more valuable to offer you, sir. It is the most precious thing I possess.' And he kissed my hand repeatedly, crying bitterly. "I accepted the book, and without a word turned away to find another sufferer.
