THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAN AND NEW MEXICO. THE MOTE AND THE BEAM Editorial Comment on the Claim of Superiority for the White Race. VOL. XVI It takes either a fool or a fanatic to maintain the inferiority of the Negro to the whit eman in the face of the record the latter is making those days. It is a source of regret to high-minded Negroes that slavery has left its impress upon the race, making its morality in this country far inferior what it is even in savage Africa. Yet it is equally a source of wonder to our friends and rejoicing to ourselves that we are doing so well with this shadow resting over us. But what of the so-called superior race? What is the showing it is making with all the boasted superiority Thomas Dixon talks about? On the front page of a daily paper this week was recorded a number of items. The press reflects the tastes of its readers and with only this one argument for the brotherhood of the whole human race, at DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, FEB. 23, 1906. least so far as criminality is concerned, we could safely rest the Negro's case. Among the articles was one dwelling on the results of the misuse of the public's money by insurance companies; another recorded the dramatic suicide of a woman on the stage of a theater; a third was on the confession of a participation in assassinations under the direction of the Western Federation of Miners; the fourth dealt with the one crime which three decades of white writers have claimed was the peculiar crime of the Negro- rape. One who wants to believe that the world is getting better will have to leave off reading the daily papers, for the white people have so thoroughly impregnated their civilization with graft, with the vicious outbursts of ungoverned passion, that not even the highest and holiest of their ambi- tions and deeds are free from the brand of Cain. It is the harvest of tares which this country has thought lessly sown in these latter years. The shrill shriek of the slave women under the lash of the overseer, the baying of the bloodhound as he sought his quarry in the canebrake, is re-echoed in the sacrifices of their own women and children in the factories and tenement sweat shop, in the bloody conflicts of labor and capital. Where black blood was once offered as a sacrifice to the Moloch of the white man's rapacity, he must now content himself with his own. There is no excuse for the laziness and general improvidence of large numbers of Negroes, but the frantic endeavors of some whites to minify their own faults by magnifying ours are too patent to deceive any one but themselves. The truth is that of one clay He made all mankind, some a little more plastic than others, some little less perfectly molded, but all of it clay with innate possibilities. So long as white men will sell their children into the service of their own services, will violate every tie of law and blood in the chase after money and ease, they will outstrip us, for God knows Negroes have this one glory—their own is too closely united by ties of relationship if not of affection to be sold for gold. Our wants are too simple and we are too carefree for us to subvert the widow's and orphan's portion to base uses. The blood of the victims of mob violence is bringing forth a harvest in kind. Tom Dixon may not acknowledge it, but his mouth is no oracle. Color of skin is an incident. Character is the man. Forty years of freedom has produced many men of our race, and 2,000 years of civilization have left many savages who are white. All men are brothers in possibilities but, thank God, there are Negroes State Historian & Nat- ural History Society MAN. NEW MEXICO.

CITY NEWS "After I had been here a few days and became acclimated I felt fine and do yet," said Rev. Goens. "Now, as to your question as to the young Negro's chance, I say that when I saw a colored pharmacist in Kansas City mix medicine that 25,000 physicians used and Mr. Gordon of St. Louis, the up-to-date embalmer and undertaker that did $41,000 worth of business just last year, and when I see the prominence given the colored clerks in the postoffice at the windows in Denver, I must confess that I am greatly impressed that the young Negro's chance is far superior to that of those in some parts of the East," continued the evangelist. Speaking of the results accomplished in St. Louis in a week, twenty conversions; in Kansas City, 80, and 47 up to Wednesday night. Rev. Goen conducts his meetings on the high ideal order of evangelist appealing to the inner man through thought, earnestness and enthusiasm and by not playing upon your imagination or emotions. Sunday much will be said at the woman's meeting that women ought to hear, and nothing said to make any woman blush or feel ashamed; hundreds have been helped by these meetings.

This is to inform the people and general public of the men and women who are in business and what they are doing and where they are located. Look over the list carefully and see if any one is omitted; if so no tify us at once and their names will be inserted. Then if you have need of any service they can render call on them. Say you saw their names in the Business Directory of THE STATESMAN. As soon as the list is complete and verified it will be published on a large card and hung up in public places so that the general public may know where we are at.

If you are possessed of business knowledge that is practical and has been proven in Colorado, it is your duty to give it to give it to your fellow citi. ena. Men, minds and dollars are turned this way cooking for an opening. What we want are facts demonstrated here in Denver and not a thousand miles away. This column of business enterprises cannot be filled up all at once but will be arranged in alphabetical order. Each week new letters will be added to the list and all the business enterprises under the heading of those letters will be inserted. The names and location will be permanent so that all you need to do is to look at your paper to see who is in that column. ADVERTISING MEDIUMS. THE STATESMAN,1026 19th St. 'The ColoradoStatesman.'

HAD MADE GOOD HAUL. Banker's Hunt for Chickens Met With Much Success. A banker in a western city bought some chickens of a ranchman and told the man to deliver them at his house. When he went home at noon his wife met him at the door and told him with great consternation that the man brought the chickens, as he had promised, but instead of putting them in the henhouse, had left them on the lawn, and they had all disappeared. Forgetting his dinner, he started off in no very amiable frame of mind in pursuit of the missing fowls. After scouring the neighboring alleys for some time, he came back triumphantly driving the lost chicks. When in a few days he met the offending ranchman, he demanded, severely: "What do you men by leaving those chickens on my lawn the other day? I hunted the neighborhood over for them and then could find only eleven!" "You did mighty well," was the mild reply. "I only left six."—Grace M. Crawford in Harper's. SPENDING MONEY TO MAKE IT. Benjamin Franklin's Illustration of Sound Business Policy. The good policy of letting riches fly to bring more back is quaintly illustrated by Benjamin Franklin, while postmaster general, in telling of the American postoffice as it was before the revolution. In his inimitable way he says: "The American office never had either to paid anything to that of Great Britain. We were to have $3,000 a year if we could make that sum out of the profits of the office. To do this a variety of improvements were necessary. Some of these were inevitably at first expensive so that in the first four years the office became about $4,500 in debt to us. But it soon began to repay us and before I was displaced by a freak of the ministers we had brought it to yield three times as much clear revenue to the crown as the postoffice of Ireland." Launch of the "Floating Debt." He was a member of three well-known clubs along the Sound and decided to graduate from the rocking chair and become a full-fledged yachtsman. He selected a thirty-foot sloop that had something of a record as a fast cruiser, and then approached his wife in order to interest her to back the venture financially. She listened to the enthusiastic ravings of her husband, who had not quite decided upon a suitable name for the family craft. He was undecided whether to christen her the Jabberwock or the Jibbenainosay when the financial backer of the venture silenced him with the remark: "You had better call her the 'Floating Debt' for that is what she will be."—The Inquirer.

Give me a call Eye-Glasses and Romance. It is curious to observe that even the greatest realists do not venture to bestow eye-glasses on their heroines. It is rather odd, too, seeing how many charming women do in real life wear them, and are not debarred by them from the most dramatic careers and the most polignant emotions. But while the modern novelist has bestowed eye-glasses on everybody else he has not yet had the hardihood to put them on the nose of his heroine. Why?—By Mrs. John Lane in the London Outlook.

Amateurs are those who contend for honor. Pro fessionals are those who contend for gain. There are no other distinct- fons—no “semi-professionals,” no “pro- amateurs,”"—a man is an amateur or a professional. When the victory it- self ceases to be sufficient return for winning, then the amateur tends to ward the professional, whose incen- tive to win must be something more material than mere thrill. When that gain, profit,whatever you please to call it, becomes the incentive, the thrill of honorable contest ceases to have any significance. Employment of profes- sional coaches and handlers is fol- lowed by professional methods, professional spirit; and the profes- sional spirit tends to place win- ning above all else. Sport for sport's sake, that Is the amateur. Sport for the winning to the purse of gold, according to the degrees the professional spirit has advanced—that {s the professional. “Amateur status rests solely upon its complete disas- sociation from professionalism in all its form, its trickery, its utiltarianism, its moral and social atmosphere. As the soul gives character to the man, 80 the thrill of honorable con- test gives character to the amateur athlete. COMMUTER WAS OUT OF LUCK Encyclopedia at First Trial Throws Him Off the Track. After the train had started a breth- less conimuter swung himself upon the last platform at a station some fifty minutes from New York. Under his arm was one huge volume of an encyclopedia. He also carried a green cloth bag, such as are affected by very young lawyers. He sank into a seat and with a deep sigh opened the book. Though he lost no time in finding his place he did Bot seem satisfied, for he soon turned with great exasperation to hia neigh- bor to say: “Now, wouldn't that jar yon? I've been paying for this encyclopedia for the last eighteen months, and I never had occasion to use It before this morning. Now, I have a new client, a big tanner, who is going to call on me to-day, and I want to read up the subject of tanning before I get to the eity this morning. “So I grab up the volume with the letter in it while I'm eating bre. kfast. Had to run five blocks for my train. Look up the word—now there? You bet the word is there, but that’s all that is there. Look at that!" he ex- ela! 4 pointing to this simple le- gend: “Tanning—See leather,”—New York Sun Elected by His Initial. A very amusing Incident happened in Providence a few years ago at an election. It was known that the elect fon would be closed, and no effort was spared to bring out the entire vote. The candidates were William W. Whipple, Democrat, and John 0. Dar- Ung, Republican. Toward tho end of the day an Irish man strolled into a voting place. He could neither read nor write, and ask- ed the names of the different candi- dates. “Ah!" satd he, “that name O’Dar- ling is good enough for me. Please mark my ballot for him.” Mr. Darling won by a single vote, and is very thankful that his middle {Initial was O. Saves the Spellbinder. At a polftical meeting in Prighton England, a speaker, finding that thc point of one of his jokes had missed sorrowfully remarked: “I had hoped gentlemen, that you would have laughed at that.” A plaintive voic came through the silence: “I laughed mister.” Then everybody laughed.

The country also abounds in orange, lemon, fig, date arolla, almond, nut and other fruit trees. The exports of dates especially are very large and steadily increasing. Foundation of Idealism. James Jackson Jarv«s in his “Art Thoughts” says: “Idealism bases it self on universal truths.

OLD NAMES DIE OUT CURIOUS POINTS IN DECAY OF NOBLE FAMILIES. No Descendants Left of Men Whose Deeds Adorn the Pages of English History—Nature Seems to Set Limit 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 apparently 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, Chathum, Pitt, Fox, Burke, Grattan, Canning, or Disraeli; 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 Edmund 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 squaniered 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. 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. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 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: "I've 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. First Come. First Served. A week before commencement Jones, a senior, who was weary of boarding house fare, was happily engaged in donning his dinner clothes. A smile of delighted anticipation played upon his features when Robbins entered in a dinner coat. "Hello, Charley!" greeted Jones, cheerily. "What's up?" "O, nothing up," said Robbins. "I'm just going around to the Clemenses to call—going to see if I can't get asked to dinner." The smile faded slowly from Jones' features. "O, I say, Charley," he expostulated, "can't you go somewhere else? I was going there."—Youth's Companion More About Shakespeare. "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." 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."—Houston Post. Rejected Insinuation. A young lawyer was sent from Edinburgh to a country north of the Forth to act as junior counsel in a licensing club case. He had to cross-examine the certifying justice, who was very diffuse and rather evasive in his answers. "Speak a little more simply and to the point, please," said the counsel mildly. "you are a little ambiguous, you know." "I am not, sir" replied the witness, indignantly. "I have been strictly teetotal for a year."—Ram's Horn. South African Girl Wins Honors.

Last Sunday Eddie made his debut as a Sunday school scholar. Everybody about the house was interested in the event, and for several days preceding the Sabbath various members of the family had taken pains to coach him for the ordeal. They had taught him the golden text, and the story of the lesson, and finally Edwin, arrayed in his best suit of clothes and with a new 1904 penny in his pocket to be dropped into the contribution box, was directed into the path which all good little boys are supposed to tread. "When he came home his relations and friends were anxious to hear a report of his experiences. "Well, Eddy," said his mother, "did you have a nice time." "Yes, ma'am." "Did you say the text?" "Yes, ma'am." "And did you remember the lesson?" "Yes, ma'am. I said it all off by heart." "And did you put your penny into the basket?" "Yes, ma'am." Edwin's mother grabbed him up and hugged him ecstatically. "Oh, you little precious!" she said. "Your teacher must have been proud of you. I know she just loved you. She said something to you, didn't she?" "Yes, ma'am." "I know it," said the fond parent. Come, Eddy, darling, tell mother what the teacher said to mother's little man." "She said," was the startling reply. "for me to bring two pennies next Sunday." Mac's Liniment Mr. Mac is a tall, slender gentleman with a taste for racing and all kinds of horse sports. Lately he has been training so hard with his "mount" that he has complained several times to his spouse about having a "backache." One evening he came in late and woke the lady with a request that she rub his back. "All right—sure, Mac," she replied sleepily; "wait just a minute until I get awake." Straightway she fell asleep again. Next day, remembering the incident she apologized to her husband. "It doesn't matter," he replied, "I rubbed some stuff on myself, and I think it's done me good." Mr. Mac continued each night thereafter to rub the "stuff" on himself, until one evening Mrs. Mac, enancing to awake, observed him. "Mac," she demanded, "what is that you are using?" "Why, it's just crackerjack liniment," he replied. "Found it in the drawer there." A peal of laughter from his wife made him pause. "O. Mac," she cried, "that's a bottle of stuff I got to remove grease spots. Don't use another drop, on your life, or there'll be nothing left of you but a bone."—Portland Oregonian. Japanese Costumes Popular. At the fashionable watering places near New York Japanese costume dances are all the rage. This does not necessarily mean general pro-Japanese sympathy among the butterflies of society, who probably would have taken up the picturesque features of Russian costume had the fad struck them the war. Duly Served. Some few days ago a policeman was sent to serve a summons on a notorious poacher. This person, who lived alone and had evaded service successfully for some time, was the owner of a male goat. My friend, whom I will call Mac, went to the defendant's house; but the wily poacher, observing his approach, had fled, leaving the door unfastened. Mac saw the goat tied up in a corner, entered, and solemnly read the summons to him, after which he stuck the copy on his horns. He then went home and endorsed the paper thus:— "Served by leaving a copy of this summons in defendant's residence at with an inmate," etc. When proving service Mac was asked by the magistrate: "Was the inmate of age?" "Your worship," said my friend, laying his hand on the middle button of his tunic, "he had a beard down to that."—London Tit-Bits. Faces That Never Grow Old.

On the highway of life, by the milestone of years, We look back and with joy we behold Through the dust of the road and affectionate tears, The faces that never grow old.

They are smiling and fresh in their beauty and youth. After age has enfeebled the bold; They are bright as the stars and enduring as Truth. Those faces that never grow old. Left Fortune to Poor. Dr. Tillaux of Paris, whose death was recently announced, has bequeathed half a million francs to a fund for providing old age pensions for workmen. Dr. Tillaux was one of the most eminent surgeons in France and was for many years president of the Academy of Medicine. He rendered much valuable service to the poor as chief surgeon of the charity hospital, where he was greatly beloved by all the patients. Seeking a Bribe. "Mamma," said five-year-old Harry, "I'll make a bargain with you." "What kind of a bargain?" she asked. "If you'll give me a penny every day to buy candy with," replied the youthful diplomat, "I'll not tell any one that you have store teeth." Puts Ban on Opium. The different states, having agreed to prohibit the sale and growth of opium, the commonwealth government of Australia has prohibited the importation of opium except for medicinal purposes.

Another Negro has made good in the person of R. I. Jones, of 2617 Marion street, who has been appointed to a position in the railway mail service and assigned to weighing mail on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad. At Lincoln anniversary, when Rabbi Friedman by his eloquence, skill and wisdom, had portrayed Lincoln in all his several conditions, also after the duet was so beautifully rendered and after the Harris orchestra had so honorably acquitted itself, some persons thought that that meeting could not be excelled. But Sunday when the Scott's M. E. church was crowded to doors to hear the Frederic Douglass Memorial exercises, the vim, the patriotism, enthusiasm and high intellectual thoughts full of wisdom and information made the Negro feel his true character and worth as a man because they were honoring one of their own. The Azalia Hackley Choral society did exceptionally fine, as did Mesdames Flife and Dishman, H. W. Wade, Mrs. Ida DePriest and C. A. Franklin. Theodore Mason had a narrow escape from losing his life Thursday, when he accidentally fell off a coal wagon, wrenching his back, spraining his arm and nearly cutting two of his fingers off. Mrs. J.

Games were played and musical selections were rendered. They were the recipients of many beautiful presents. No Excuse for Another Epidemic. No Excuse for Another Epidemic. New Orleans' fight against yellow fever shows beyond a doubt that another epidemic ought never to occur. During the ten weeks of the struggle there has been but 335 deaths from the disease, which is a remarkably low record, compared with the epidemic of 1878, when, during the same season of the year, the deaths numbered 2,176 in a much smaller population. The immense reduction in mortality this year has unquestionably been due to the advance of medical science in the handling of yellow fever, and hereafter, with the city always on the alert and protected against the stegomyia mosquito, the epidemic of 1906 should be known as the last of the plague. Springfield, Mass., Republican. Properties of Tantalum. The success of tantalum as a material for electric lamp filaments has drawn attention to the remarkable properties of the metal, and may lead to many demands if the supply can be sufficiently increased. Chief of these properties, as Dr. Mollwo Perkir points out, is extreme ductility, combined with extraordinary hardness. A diamond drill, rotating 5,000 times a minute for three days and three nights penetrated only a quarter through a sheet of tantalum one-twenty-fifth of an inch thick, and the diamond was much worn. This hardness suggests the use of the metal for drills in place of the diamond. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. A January bride will be a prudent housekeeper and very good tempered.

After the battle of Sedan, when the dead were being buried, a trace of blood led the searchers to a shady spot, where they found a French sergeant lying dead, with his hand tightly clenched in death pressed to his lips. In his clenched hand was a scrap of paper, which they forced from it and read. It was a letter from his little girl of 5 which, when mortally wounded, he had crawled here to read with the last light of his dying eyes, and it ran thus: "Dear Father, I miss you so much. I miss you morning and evening when I used to kiss you. I try to be good, as you told me and kind to mamma. Your loving little girl, Marguerite." Bird Doomed to Extinction. Among the birds that are most rapidly approaching extinction is the kiwi or apteryx of New Zealand. The kiwi is comparable in size to an ordinary chicken, but it has massive legs, set well back, a long slender bill with nostrils at the tip of the upper mandible. No wings are visible, but they may be felt under the body feathers which, like those of the emu, have a hair-like texture. Kiwis associate during the greater part of the year in troops or parties of from six to a dozen, pairing up in the breeding season. They are found in wooded districts, chiefly on slopes or in gullies clothed with brushwood, fors and creepara, and are nocturnal in habit. 6 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. MONEY HAD BEEN PASSED OUT. Nothing Left for Visitors After Wife Had Called. A brother of Capt. Gridley of "You may fire, Gridley, when you're ready," fame, is chief of the redemption division of the treasury. That's where the old paper money is counted and made ready for the machine which grinds it to pulp. He has a wife, and, womanlike, she gets around on pay day to relieve her lord and master of the trouble of spending it all. That is, she used to come around in his working place to get what was coming to her, but she won't ever do it again. She went there last pay day and talked with her husband through the meshes of the stout wire screen that incloses all those who handle the althy stuff turned in for redemption. She made the fortnightly touch just as a crowd, under the guidance of a messenger, was moving away from the screen. Mr. Gridley dutifully passed out a roll of bills. One of the women in the party came running back filled with excitement. "Oh, please, mister, I'd like to get some of that money!" she exclaimed, regarding Gridley with a beaming countenance. Poor Gridley, didn't catch the drift of her remarks, so he just said: "I beg pardon, madam." "I said I'd like some of that money," she repeated. By that time Mrs. Gridley had looked at her husband with scorn in her eyes. Then she "caught on." "You're too late," she remarked, sweetly. "I'm his wife, and I don't think he has any left."—Pittsburg Dispatch. His Country Week. C. D. Gibson sat on the wind swept plaza of a cottage at Dark Harbor. The cottage topped a hill, and there was a superb view downward over rolling grasslands and gray rocks, and thence out across the broad and silvery bay. "Whenever I have a spacious view like this I think," said Mr. Gibson, "of a little slum urchin whom I accompanied on his first visit to the country. "It was years ago. A newspaper was sending the children of the poor to the country for a week. I went with one of the bands in order to make some sketches. "Well, when the train drew up I helped out a thin urchin of about six years. I lifted him into the waiting farm wagon and we jogged off through beautiful rolling pasture—miles on miles of green velvet. "The little fellow was very much excited with the scene. "'Gee,' he said, 'they must need a lot of cops here.' "'Why so?' said I. "There's so much grass to keep off of,' said the child."—New York Tribune Pa's Little Joke. "Pa," said Willie, "an equine means a horse, doesn't it?" "Yes." "And an ox is a kind of a cow, isn't it?" "Yes, one kind." "Well, what kind of a blamed thing is this equine ox everybody's talkin about?" Pa thought a minute, looked sheer lish, and then said, as he backed of the room, "Oh, that's a wether.

It has not been such a long time since we called the attention of the Colored people of this community to the fact that the new charter of the city and county of Denver provides for civil service examinations for positions as firemen or policemen. Notwithstanding that fact and the newspaper statement that 21 new places would be made to provide adequate protection for this city, there were only two Negroes who took the examination this week. When it come time to take a retrospective glance over what we have in this community there will be some foolish enough to blame white people for our lack of representation in these two departments. The authorities may have prejudice against us, but one thing is sure—at long as we are as trifling and indifferent to preparation for work as we are now they will never need to show it. We will fail by our own inertia. Quit whining and go to work. A good fight even when you lose gains respect. Complaint is permissible only for the one who tries.

It was unique in that there was costuming. Music completed the evening. At Zion Church a social commemorated the event with a splendid attendance. Thursday night at Manitou Hall the Juveniles of the S M. T's. gave one of the most successful entertainments ever given by a lodge of young people. The hall was crowded early in the evening to hear the speeches and music and witness the drilling. The Harris Orchestra furnished music for the evolutions. The contest was between Lily Cadet Company of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias and the Juv nites. The former were dressed in blue military blouses and white duck trousers and made a good showing. The latter is a drill team of young girls. Their uniform is on the zouave order, white shirt waists, red skirts and white leggins with a red stripe on the side.

The young people had as managers for them their mother matrons, Mesdames Lawson, Mason and Grigsby, with Mrs. Washington as chairman. Edward Mays an'o'd Denverite died last week in Grand Junction, and was brought to this city for burial. The funeral occurred Tuesday from the home, 2538 Lawrence street, Rev Douglas officiating. Interment was at Fairmount. He leaves a wife here, a mother and father in Alabama to mourn his death. Death came early to him, being only 38 years of age. Mrs. Mays tenders her thanks to the pastor and members of Central Church for flowers and kind officiies. Rev. Solly of La Junta, is visiting in the city. The Mecca Cafe's Monday evening social was largely attended. All present enjoyed a very pleasant evening, chatting and keeping time with the music, furnished by Harris full Orchestra. Heretofore the music stand has been too small to comfortably seat the Harris Orchestra, which defect has been remedied. These socials occur every Monday evening, and we hope to have a larger attendance each Monday evening in the year, as this is the Mecca's treat to its many patrons and customers in appreciation of their patronage. All those who are admitted will be admitted free. As some reward for the work that he has been doing for it, Zion Baptist Church is tendering Clarence C. Clark a benefit entertainment at the First Baptist Church, on Stout St, next Thursday night. Of Mr. Clark's growing popularity as a tenor singer, it need only be said that his numbers will be worth the admission price of 25 cents. The Denver Club quartet, the Centennial Mandolin Club and others good talent will assist. "Martha," said a Westport woman to her negro cook, "when are you and Abe going to be married?"

The Abott Pharmacy, Dr. Sol Ringolsky: 19th annu Curtis Streets Dear Sir: After an attack of typhoid fever, I was stricken down with rheumatism and for nine months I was unable to remove my clothes without the assistance of some one. I heard of your rheumatic remedy from friends of mine whom had been cured by your remedy, advising me to give it a trial, but I had spent so much money for doctors and medicines I decided that medicine was incurable, but by confidential friends I decided to give it a trial and I can say without a word of exaggeration, after I had taken one bottle of your remedy I commenced to improve. I have taken three bottles and part of the fourth one and today I feel no symptoms of the disease at all. I feel today a perfect man, having gained my regular weight again and I can say positively that it is all due to your rheumatic remedy. Sympathizing with all whom are suffering with rheumatism, and at no time will I hesitate to recommend it. Respectfully yours. W. A. RICE, Residence No. 1828 Arapahoe St. P. O. Box No. 731.

The revival at Central Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. J. B. Anderson of Springfield, Ill., has been far-reaching in its influence. There seems to be a better feeling existing among the members than has been for years. The second Sunday in this month the congregation presented the pastor with a $50 suit of clothes, and a few evenings later marched to the parsonage and ladened the dining- room table with various kinds of provisions. All this was under the leadership of Rev. Anderson. The pastor desires to thank the friends for their kindness in remembering him and for their loyalty to the church as well. CHAS D. DOUGLAS, Pastor Central Baptist Church.
