THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. STRAWS THAT VOL. XVI One Southern writer in the New York Times says the way to solve the labor question in the South is to forbid Negroes from owning land. The question perplexing England now is shall "Africa be for Africans?" At Saratoga, N. Y., last week, Rev. Robt. J. Strother opened the session of the State Senate with prayer. "Rufus Rastus," the new comedy by Earnest Hogan, is meeting with tremendous success in New York. Sixty-five are in the company. An exchange says this about Williams & Walkers' "Abyssinia," that to a house crowded to the doors, the play showed itself to be far superior to "In Dahomey" in construction and in music, lyric, plot, costumes and accessories. The strongest numbers are the "Ode to Menelik," one to the "Sun." The popular songs sung by Mrs. Ada O. Walker as a flower girl are "Where Our Forefathers Died" and the "Lion and the Monk;" Mrs. Lotta Williams caught the house by her song, "The Answers You Don't Expect to Get," but Bert Williams brings down the house with his latest excruciatingly funny song, "Here It Comes," and Geo. Walker, a Denverite, --- State Historian & Natural History Society STA COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, DENVER, COLORA S HAT TELL DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MAR 23, 1906. has a big hit in "It's Hard to Find a King Like Me," and "Rastus Johnson, U. S. A." The Virginia Legislature succeeded in passing a "jim crow" street car law just before they adjourned. The family of Samuel Lee have a bill in the House for a claim of $10,000 which the House reported favorably. Lee was a Negro elected to the 46th Congress from North Carolina, but was prevented from being sworn in by filibustering. He is now dead, and his heirs will be paid two years' salary if the bill passes. C. S. Yancy, a small farmer of Yankton, S. D., is contemplating starting a Negro colony of the voteless and mistreated Southern Negroes. Mr. Yancy was a former slave. Miss Sunsan B. Anthony, one of the Negroes' best and staunchest friends, died last week at the age of 86. Her attending physician was Dr. Marsena S. Ricker. Miss Anthony first became conspicuous as an anti-slavery agitator in 1856, when she became one of the regular agents of the Anti-Slavery Society. She spoke in schools, barns, halls and churches, and if no hall could be secured she addressed meet- --- ings from lumber wagons or carts in the open air. She spoke in the Columbia river region when she had to ride in a stage coach to get there. She took part in debates with proslavery editors and agitators and addressed legislative bodies and committees and conventions. She found time, however, to fight for women's rights, on which she delivered about 100 lectures a year. The net results of her efforts was the granting in a much fuller measure of civil rights to women. Now a married woman has individual rights to her own property and earnings and the guardianship of her children, but it was altogether different then; and the change is largely due to Susan B. Anthony. She was not so successful in winning political rights for women, though in some States they have now full political equality. She was also successful in winning for her sisters the open door to educational and professional opportunities. The work which she accomplished was noble and vast. As she grew older her vigor did not fail, and up to a few months ago she was still writing and lecturing for the cause she loved. Her career is contrasted with Garrison's as follows by "The Sun." (New York.) "In Susan B. Anthony has passed away a woman who more than any other member of her sex personified the movement for women's rights. Her last days were cheered by the retrospect of a long, useful and honorable life. It was not, indeed, her good fortune, as it was that of her contemporary reformer, William Lloyd Garrison, to behold the full fruition of her labors. The editor of "The Liberator" lived to see the abolition of slavery embedded in the Federal Constitution; but the attainment of equal political rights, which Susan B. Anthony looked upon as the crown and the safeguard of woman's emancipation, she was not destined to witness. The movement in that direction has seemed of late to undergo a species of arrest, if not retrogression. It has been successful, nevertheless, in many an enlightened commonwealth, and she who had promoted it for half a century died in the belief and the are MAN. D NEW MEXICO. NO. 39 NO.39 faith that, ultimately, it will triumph in all civilized countries." That Miss Anthony's interest in the Afro-American people had not faded is attested by her letter to this paper at the beginning of this year: "The 'New York Age' has come regularly, and I have been more than pleased with it. I enclose my check for the coming year, and wish you may see better times for the colored people. "It does seem that this Nation might learn that to do justice to all the people, men and women alike, were the only way to secure peace and happiness. But it may take another hundred years—no one can tell—but we will work on, work ever." After putting the blame on the "Kentucky contract Negroes" for a part taken in the Springfield riot, Hon. John A. Green, the U. S. Stamp Agent, said, contrasting Ohio with the District of Columbia: "Here in Washington a colored man may not even go into a restaurant or secure a reserved seat in a theatre. We seem to be in the country, but not of the country, here. That is the reason I am so fond of Ohio." In Bellefontaine, O., Preston Ladd, a desperate character, after being kicked by a horse, struck the horse with his fist and killed it instantly. While the Chinese Empire is preparing for war the Negro is asking himself these questions, "Will the Negroes be shipped from the Philippines and be used as clubs to strike with or shall the voteless Negro of the South be encouraged to go, while the white man does the Bossing? What's the use; does it pay?" Why don't they send some Negro Governors to rule the Filipinos? Eugene J. Marshall, Wisconsin forensic orator and victor of color, was recently welcomed by the city of Madison. All the literary societies turned out to greet the able young man. He has been the winner of several of the University oratorical contests. Continued on editorial page.

He is a pretty poor sort of man who loses courage and fears to face the world just because he has made a mistake or a slip somewhere, because his business has failed, because his property has been swept away by some general disaster, or because of other trouble impossible for him to avert. This is the test of your manhood; how much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself? If you lie down now, throw up your hands, and acknowledge yourself worsted, there is not much in you. But if, with heart undaunted and face turned forward, you refuse to give up or to lose faith in yourself, if you scorn to beat a retreat, you will show that the man left in you is bigger than your loss, greater than your cross and larger than any defeat. —Success. A Protracted Camp Meeting. During the period when camp meetings were of frequent occurrence in western New York a man living in Buffalo, a Mr. Wilbur, attended one in the vicinity, after which he disappeared. Two years later he quietly returned to the bosom of his family. No explanation was given to the neighbors of his long absence. After waiting for a week a Mrs. Post, who could restrain her curiosity no longer, popped her head out of the window as Wilbur passed by and called after him in a short shrill voice: "Mr. Wilbur! Mr. Wilbur! Is the meeting out? Is the meeting out?" Always Staunch And True Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

The reproduction of the wedding of Miss Alice Roosevelt to Mr. Nicolas Longworth, which will be produced by the W. F. H. C. Progressive Club at East Turner Hall, Thursday evening, March 29, promises to be the most brilliant social affair ever witnessed by the colored citizens of Denver. The committee has completed arrangements to carry out the program in perfect harmony and in keeping with the real wedding, which took place on the 17th of February at Washington. The committee has already sent out one thousand invitations to their friends and find that that number is wholly inadequate to supply the demand of persons desirous of witnessing the affair. We were therefore compelled to take this method of extending a cordial welcome to our many friends whom we were wholly unable to reach with our limited number of a thousand invitations. Consequently, those of our friends who did not receive invitations direct can secure tickets at the following places: The two colored drug stores Drs. Westbrook and Harper5s office. The O. K.

I met him a week after his return, and we tallied together about the native character. "The Indian, Jacomb-Hood said, was not progressive. Things as they were suited him well enough; he had no desire to better them. Hence, of course, he rarely made a great success. "Jacomb-Hood illustrated the nonprogressive native character with an incident that befell him in a barber shop. "The artist was shaved in the shop rather badly. The operator cut him in fact, twice, once on the chin and once on the cheek. To the last cut Jacomb-Hood had to apply a plaster. He said to the operator, as he did so: "'It's too bad of you to have cut me twice. You'll lose all your regular customers at this rate.' "Not at all, sir,' said the operator. 'I am not allowed to shave the regular customers yet. I only shave strangers." A Lively Tussle With that old enemy of the race, Constipation, often ends in Appendicitis.

Recently at the residence of Mrs. Lillie Lewis the following clubs, in order to develop and maintain a closer relationship toward each other, assembled for the purpose of organizing into one grand body, the Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, comprising the following clubs: The Sunshine Woman's League, Toka Art, Book Lovers, W. C. T. U., Progressive Art, Life Line, Roosevelt Art and Twentieth Century. One of the special features of the said organization will be the entertainment of all the delegates from the other clubs throughout the state who are to arrive next June when the Federation convenes. That the proper interest and the necessary enthusiasm of both members and non-members might be shown, we desire to most urgently impress upon the minds of all the female citizens of Denver to aid us in every conceivable way, in order to royally entertain the different delegates and guests of our city, which will mean much both to our clubs and to the citizens of Denver, by showing our hospitality. The co-operation of every one is most earnestly solicited. Many persons have so shown their deep regard and keen appreciation in our first undertaking along this line that they have already responded voluntarily to assist us in the entertainment next June. The clubs extend their most appreciative thanks to the Ideal drug store for their kindness so promptly and willingly shown without any solicitation. Mrs. M. L. Spratlin, President, desires, at the next regular meeting held in April, that each delegate and chairman be present and report. While the regular meetings of the Federated Clubs will be held the second Thursday of each month, the next meeting in April will be held at the residence of Mrs. G. W. Andrews, 2024 Washington avenue. A Scientific Wonder. The cures that stand to its credit make Bucklen's Arnica Salve a scientific wonder. It cured E. R.

Soldiers Cleared Line of Snow In February of 1903 a terrible blizzard swept over southern Russia. Hundreds of peasants' huts were buried beneath the snowdrifts, while outside Odessa three trains were completely blocked. Word was at once sent to the neighboring barracks and over 4,000 soldiers, armed with shovels, promptly appeared upon the scene. In a very short while the lines were cleared. Not in His Line. A woman was detailing some social news to a newspaper reporter the other day and in describing her gown at a function spoke of her new diamond necklace. "It's a present from my husband, and cost $40,000. But"—fearfully—"don't put that in the paper." "Madam," returned the reporter, "you need have no fear. I'm not the financial editor." Artificial Vocal Chords. A Viennese, whose larynx was cut out for cancer, has invented a speaking apparatus made of a rubber pipe fitted with artificial vocal chords which he inserts in his throat when he wishes to speak. He spoke before the Viennese Medical Society at its last meeting. The voice is a high fassetto, but what he said was easily understood. Her Plan to Save. The two women were talking about children's parties. "Yes," said the visitor, "I'm going to give Willie a party next week. About twenty-five children will be there. How much ice cream do you think I'll need?" "You won't need more than a gallon if you work a scheme I always use," replied the other woman. "When the children all reach the house I pass around some cookies—the yellow sugar kind. I let them eat all they want. They always eat so many that when the ice cream is served one small dish is enough for each child. Nothing works so well as the sugar cookies and they are easily and cheaply made. If you don't use this scheme you'll have to buy at least three gallons of ice cream for the twenty-five children."—Kansas City Star. Miss M. COWDEN. Hair Dressing Shampooing, Cutting and Curling.

In 1905 it will be 300 years since "Don Quixote" was first published. The anniversary is to be observed in Spain by the publication of three special editions of the masterpiece—a cheap popular edition, an abridged edition for use in secondary schools and a more condensed edition for the common schools. A Cervantes institute will be established as a refuge for superannuated needy writers and artists. Also a Cervantes museum will be established in Alcala. Then there will be contests for the best critical editions of minor works of Cervantes, productions of several of his plays and university festivities.

BLIND FARMER BOY A MARVEL Does Farm Work, Drives Spirited Horses and Rides Bicycle. Stephen Mellinger, of Denver, Pa. does things remarkable in one who moves, as he does, in continual darkness, says Leslie's Weekly. When Mellinger, now 18 years of age, was 2 years old, he blinded himself incurably with a hatchet. He has so adapted himself to his condition that he acts virtually as if in possession of his eyesight. His misfortune has not been allowed to interfere in the least with his usefulness. His sense of touch and hearing are very keen. He works in the fields. He sows, uses the rake and spade, helps harvest the crops, milks, clitabs trees and, what is still more remarkable, drives spirited horses and rides a bicycle. The boy is as bright and cheerful as any of his associates. He is able to harness a horse unaided and to drive several miles to the village, where the household supplies are obtained. Every morning it is his duty to hitch a horse to a milk wagon and drive a mile to Denver village. In this drive he is compelled to cross railroad tracks at two points. Spirited horses are his delight, and two belonging to his father, which are too wild for the average man to handle with safety, are used by him without a thought of danger. It is unwise for other persons than him to approach these animals. The young man does not work, ride or walk in a hesitating manner, after the usual fashion of the blind. He takes a fast horse out on the road and gallops at full speed, turning out for vehicles and other horses, and rounding sharp corners without pulling up. On his wheel he rides as if possessed of full sight and can be seen alone miles from his home. Dean Swift and His Visitor. The great Dean Swift was noted for his sharp speeches, which were oftentimes cruel, but were sometimes, as in the following story, richly merited: He was one day visited by a Dublin printer, who had just returned from London, and was dressed in a rich coat of silk and gold lace, which he had purchased there. When he entered the room the printer saluted the dean familiarly as if he were an old acquaintance. He seemed so proud of his grand coat that the dean resolved to humble him. So he pretended that he did not know the printer; said that he was an impostor, and bade him leave the house. The printer saw the mistake which he had made, and, returning home, he put on his usual dress. Then he again went to the dean, and this time was warmly welcomed. "Ah, George," said the dean, "I am so glad to see you, for there has been an impudent fop here in silks and gold lace who wanted to pass himself off for you, but I knew you to be always a plainly dressed, honest man just as you are now." He Has Learned the Language. "Did your husband and that golf improved his health." "Yes. It improved his health. But unless he learns to play better it will spoil his disposition."

By the death of Mrs. Thomas Kennedy in Harlem, another name was added to the tragic list that began its enrollment in the Onawa hotel, when Myies McDonnell fought six of Kennedy's followers and killed two of them. Mrs. Kennedy was the cause of the feud which resulted so fatally, and which finally included among its victims McDonnell himself Kennedy and McDonnell were gambling partners, and Kennedy brought his wife to City Island, where McDonnell lived. McDonnell refused to allow Mrs. Kennedy to meet his wife, saying that he "wasn't a very decent man himself, but he drew the line of respectability around his own family." The next night Kennedy and Price attacked McDonnell in a saloon and beat him severely. Three nights later they waylaid him again in the Onawa hotel cafe and fought a Homeric battle which led to McDonnell's trial for murder. Mrs. Kennedy took the liveliest interest in the case, and when McDonnell was acquitted declared that if God were just McDonnell would never die a natural death. Some three years later McDonwell was shot and killed in Albany, and by a friend of the Kennedys, although the immediate quarrel did not arise from that association. Ever since Onawa hotel affray Mrs. Kenne has been in a hysterical condition, and indirectly it was the cause of her death.New York Press. BROUGHT TEARS FROM FATHER Singing Reminded Him of His Daughter's Attainments. A good story is told by the writer of "Some Stories of the Concert Platform" concerning Mme. Patey, the famous English contralto. The singer was delighting a large audience in the Town Hall at Birmingham, when a workingman at the rear of the building was observed to be in tears. There was nothing in the words to account for this display of feeling, and, had this been otherwise, the famed prima donna was singing in the Italian tongue. But the grief of the man became more pronounced ere Mme. Patey had concluded. At length 'mld a thunder of applause, the singer retired, and the stranger was asked the reason of his grief. "She reminds me so o' my darter," said the tearful one. "She wos in the singin' line." "But surely your daughter could not sing like that?" queried the man in the next seat. "No," answered the mourner, with another sob; "but you never could tell what she wos singin' about!" Pecuilar Javaese Orchid.

James Johnstone, the noted baseball umpire, was the guest of honor at a recent banquet of baseball "fans," a banquet that was a protest against Mr. Johnstone's proposed retirement. "A health to square Jim Johnstone, the bravest umpire that ever called a strike," the toastmaster said, and Umpire Johnstone, in his acknowledgement, talked about bravery. "I am square," he said, "but I don't pretend to be particularly brave. Squareness, by itself, will make a man a successful umpire. He has no great need of bravery on the diamond. Who, indeed, needs bravery overmuch? Even the soldier doesn't. Obedience and a sense of pride will carry any soldier through. "Sometimes I doubt if soldiers are ever brave. I am like the barber who once shaved Sherman. "This barber, in shaving the great General, cut him, and Sherman, as he buttoned his collar at the operation's end, said with a good deal of bitterness: "'You cut my ear. I won't come here again.' "The barber sneered. "'And they say.' he muttered, 'that you fought through four campaigns.'" Town Too Finicky. The town of Mount Vernon, back yonder in the benighted State of New York, must be a queer little place, and made up of queer people. In that village it has been ordained that no kine shall low, no rooster crow, nor faithful watch dog bark. All these things that have set the poet's song a-thrill, and have touched the listening ear of night with comradeship, are banished from Mount Vernon. They are truly to be pitled, those kind of people. They have nerves, and very much shattered sort of nerves at that. The town should be Oslerized.—Los Angeles Times. King Oscar and Biolson. King Oscar of Sweden has never allowed the political opinions of the Norwegian poet, Bjornsos to affect his attitude toward his writings. The poet has always striven for political independence for Norway. Question That is Fatal. "What is the use?" Nothing—nothing in the world, if you are determined to insist upon the question. John A.
