In Easthampton, Mass., Thomas M. Gregory, youngest son of Principal J. M. Gregory, of the Bordertown Industrial School, won the individual silver cup for the best of the six speeches delivered in the debate between the Adelphi and Gramma Sigma Societies on Friday night at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass. This is the fourth successive time that young Gregory has been on the winning side in these annual public debates at Williston.

Rector, who is a member of John Brown Post of Chicago has received notice that his ap State Historian & Natural History Society TESM WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND ADO, FRIDAY, MAR. 30, 1906. plication for pension has been favorably acted upon by Congress and that he will receive from now on $6 per month out of Uncle Sam's bounty. As he has applied for pension at various times since 1895, there will be some back money coming to him. At previous times, his good health, despite A his years, has caused him to be rejected as no disability has been found. In a few months this pension will be increased as at that time he will have reached the age when a stated sum is added to whatever is already allowed. Mr. Rector is a Kentuckian and was enlisted in Company A of the 125th U. S. colored infantry. He served almost three years, being mustered out in 1867. He has taken a prominent part in fraternal work, having been a Mason for thirty-one years, and is a past master of Rocky Mountain Lodge of which he is a member. He is also one of the past officers of Arapahoe Lodge of Odd Fellows. During his 25 years of residence in Denver he has made many good friends who wish him joy in this good fortune and congratulate him on his excellent health.

The Kermess Will Be Produced by a Cast of 75 Persons. The Kermess spirit is spreading; it is contagious, and each day of the past week daily rehearsals were given. And from now till April 16 will be heard the echo of fantastic steps of "The Kermess." The Fantana Sextette is no easy task through the maizes of their delicious flirtation. There are "Florodora" steps in the Fantana, and that delightful "You are just my style;" and it is safe to predict that it will be the greatest light opera success. The wild Western braves and squaws will pitch their tepees at Manitou Hall, April 16, and the great "Shadow and Sun" dance will also be produced. ee ae Ne ee ee orca eg ad ee THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

What the Vernacular Is Coming To in Colorado. Judge Benjamin B. Lindsey, who has made a national reputation for himself by his work at the Denver juvenile court, tells in the American Magazine the story of Eel Martin, a typical bad boy, whom the judge has since succeeded in reforming. The following is one of the boy's exploits: One of the boy's methods of beating his way about the country was to board a train and after it had started to creep into an empty berth in a sleeping car. On one occasion Martin was awakened by the porter's startled exclamation: "Good Lawd, the's a kid in heah!" Then, as the boy phrased it, "I flew the coop while the coon guy went to tell the conductor. I was ditched at a town they call Reno, in Nevada. Course I was dead broke. I touched a guy for a half and bought me a cane and some chewing gum. I walked into a bank and right up to the guy in de monkey cage. I said I wanted work, and he said he hadn't none. I told him I'd clean up de back yard and while he went to ask de head guy about it rammed de gum on de end of my cane, shoved it t'rough de cage and swiped a twenty that stuck to de gum. Then I took a hike mighty sudden. I lay low and went out on the express that night." The Key to Power. Success in life is a delicate and difficult thing to define. To many—rightly or wrongly—it is synonymous with the accumulation of wealth, the standard of achievement and the end of all ambition worthy of human endeavor. But whatever may be our delineation of this subtle and somewhat fickle goddess, the possession of a substantial bank account is, for most persons—for all, in fact, who are not degenerates—a most laudable object of ambition. It has a psychological value all apart from its conventional, commercial value. It is veritably the key to power—not alone through what it buys, but through what it does—unlocking those secret sources of strength that transform the delinquent into the alert, the vacillating into the confident, kindling the embers of hope, and giving the race to the slow, the battle to the weak.—Business Men's Magazine. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. On the Jungle Line. Did you here about the work of the leopard as a spotter on the trolley line?" asked the kangaroo of the hippopotamus. "No. What did he do?" "He discovered that the giraffe who was conductor, was permitting the elephant to carry his trunk in the car without checking it." "And what happened?" "O, the giraffe got it in the neck, of course."

TO WAIT Joshua Wanted Boiled Wheat, but He Was No Cook. “Lucinda,” said M». Melstrum, who had just returned from a visit to a farmer friend in the country, “while I was at Longley’s I ate some whole wheat, boiled. I like it better than anything I ever tasted. He gave mea small paper sack of the wheat, so we could cook some ourselves. How long will it be before supper is ready?” “About half an hour,” answered Mrs. Melstrum. “Well, we'll have some boiled wheat, ff you please. Here's the paper sack.” “But, Joshua, it will have to be cooked in a double boiler, and——” “I don't care how you cook it. I’m hungry for some more boiled wheat.” “But see here, Joshua! It will take——” “It will take a lot of cream and sugar; | know that. But we've got plenty of both. Put it on right away, will you?” Without another word his wife took the wheat, washed it, emptied it into the “double boiler,” and set it on the fire. At the end of half an hour Mr. ‘el- strum became {mpatient. “Lucinda,” he called out from the aitting room, “isn't that wheat ready yet?” “Not yet,” responded Mrs. Melstrum. “How much longer is it going to take to cook it?” “About eleven hours and a half. That's what I was trying to tell you, but you wouldn't give me a chance. Do you want to wait for it?"—Yosth’s Companion. 60 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE Tract Maras Orcsicns Copymicuts &c.

A myterious outbreak of kleptoma nia has invaded the house of com- mons. The origin of the disease has been traced’ to a case which appened two or three weeks ago, When six cakes of house of commons soap were found bulging out of a legislator’s coat pocket, Since then the malady has spread with alarming persistency. One mem ber of parliament, who in a fit of men- tal abstraction took a pair of hair brushes stamped with the royal arms, was taken before the sergeant at arms and gently admonished, but even then the disease was not extermi- nated, Table napkins have been myate- riously spirited away by one over- worked legislator, while another un- consciously took somebody else’s check book. Recently the kleptomaniacs have confined their attention to silk hats, and so many have disappeared that some members now think it necessary to put skull caps in their pockets as a safeguard against going home bare headed, Every night now when the cry {s raised of “Who goes home?” it is found that there are not enough hats to go round.—London Express.

Greenlee, occupied the pulpil, and took as text 2nd Timothy 48. His exultation on higher life and the true worth of Christian activity, was an able effort. In the evening Rev. Bramon delivered another spiritual argument, taking for his text, "Thou Shalt Be Born Again." Misses May Smith, Sallie Thistle, Jaunita Landor, Viola Brown, Lucy Smith, Geneva and Minerva Greenlee gave a very successful entertainment Friday night.

UNIFORM RANK LETTER Denver, Colo., March 31, 1906. To the Officers and Members comprising the first Battalion of Colorado, Auxiliaries and otherwise: talk if you please? Having had the occasion about Feb. 5, 1906, to issue an order, calling the active line of commissions to convene in this city at our Armory, 1712 Curtis St., on the evening of March 23, 1906, the purpose as stated was to elect a Major to the 1st Battalion of Colorado, for the ensuing term of two years. And by the active voice and ballot, the present Quartermaster G. C. Sample of this city, was duly elected to succeed Major J. P. Miller of Colorado Springs, the result of which I now officially announce to you. Much praise and credit are due to elect Sample as one having served on the present staff for two years as Quartermaster, and has proven loyal, faithful and honest to his trust. He has always been an ardent worker in the Pythian cause and a promoter of peace and prosperity. Many good things and much good are expected of this officer, and I trust the appointment on his staff as an aid, will be a credit to himself and an honor to the jurisdiction. He has always stood for law, order, obedience and a true discipline of the rank and order to which he belongs. The installation of Major Sample takes place Monday evening April 9, at Battalion headquarters, Larimer St., between 19th and 20th at 8 o'clock. All Sir Knights and officers are requested to meet early. After the installation the Major will deliver an address, and a good time smoker to follow. Announcement will be made of the time and place of an Officers' banquet or smoker to be given in May, at which time, arrangements will be discussed for a week's encampment of the entire department of Colorado, probably to convene on or about the time of the setting of our Grand Lodge. Great credit is hereby given to Lieutenants A. R. Butler and A. E. Cooley of Nos. 1, and 4, for their valuable services rendered on anniversary day, they too, having felt keenly disappointed in Capt. W. H. Lee being absent from the city. To all Officers and Sir Knights: Attend your drill practices, THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. regard the law, and govern yourself accordingly. W. A. GREENLEAF, Col. Commanding Colo. Denver, Colo., Mar. 31, 1906. Now just a word regarding the confidence you have imposed in me: About March 9, 1904, I was appointed Aid-de-Camp on Major General's staff for jurisdiction of Colorado, with the rank of Colonel for two years' term to expire March 9, 1906, durig which time I did all in my power when I saw it best for your good and that of the jurisdiction, and rendered my reports of the same promptly. Shortly after the close of our Supreme Session at Pittsburg, and about Sept. 21. 1905, the Major General in view of the little good that has already come to us here, saw fit and deemed it best to retender the appointment to me and with more power, Colonel with the rank of Brigadier General on Nov. 1. Four copies of Brigadier General's instructions received that Colorado in the near future may rank second best to none. There has been a question in your minds for more than a year I understand, over my power and authority to write orders in this jurisdiction. Permit me to say now, as I said then, all orders that I have written I will write over again and you shall obey and all written in the future you shall respect and obey, or pay as others have paid here with assigned at the bottom. It is an evident fact that I have not made any pets in your jurisdiction nor have I made myself very popular with you by carrying out the law and Major General's orders. But fair warning and due notice are hereby given to all that the law as it is written, will be observed and for the future there is only one way by which unlawfulness and disobedience can ride, and that by dumping Greenleaf out of the saddle. When we stop to read the record that our passed officers have made at general headquarters, the very best behavior and obedience will scarcely undo what they have done in the past ten years. The following is the record, and those who made it: Sept. 9, 1904, J. W. Taylor office declared vacant, failure to com- ply with the law, Article 9, page 68; March 8, 1905, J. Tumlin Adjt., Colorado Springs, failure to comply Article 9, page 68 revoked; Capt. L. M. C. McPettaway July 8, 1905, Pueblo, Colorado recommended to be revoked for violating Article 12, page 69, and chapter 12 page 35; April 12, 1905, J. W. Hardy revoked for failure to comply with Article 9, page 68; July 10, 1905, Capt, H. L. B. Dingman of Denver, recommended to be relieved of further duty pending discharge or conviction, a few days later revoked on discovery of insubordination and conspiracy aganist Lily Cadet Company of this city, with Major J. P. Miller of Colorado Springs, in March 1905; Sept. 17, 1905, Capt. S P. Tabb of Pueblo, Colorado, recommended to be revoked for false accusation. The Major General orders. A rigid investigation, which resulted in the Capt. being strongly reprimanded and allowed to continue his term; Nov. 6, 1905, Major J. P. Miller Co'orado Springs, Colo., recommended to be revoked for disobedience of special orders No. 4, A. G. O. series, but a few days later was informed by General Jones that the Major had answered his office other than the proper channel; Dec. 4, 1905, Adjutant G. A. Logan revoked for insubordination with Major J. P. Miller, and still another to be recommended under Article 2, page 67, which will likely cause his dishonorble discharge; I. M. Ledbetter for abuse to an officer Jan. 1, 1905 in presence of other officers, and had I not over looked Capt. Vanhook of No. 4, until it was a trifle late, he too would have shared the fate of the rest for disregarding special orders Aug. 21, 1904; Capt. Wm. Jones of Pueblo, Colo., against whom charges had been prepared died 11 days before his trial. These are the officers you started out two years ago to-day but three in active service and now that I have said enough, I must thank our editor for making room in his valuable columns for this delivery as I have said nothing in two years but simply watched the movements of those who knew it all. Surely there can be no further unreasonable doubt left in your minds regarding your prosperity. Mothers let us have more boys, girls as well. The boys now have been organized for nearly two years. No night has been too cold and none too hot for these boys to gather at their place of meeting until now they are the cream of this jurisdiction. The oldest boys are ready edW has W. A. GREENLEAF. for the old Lodge, and are making applications now, and we want more to fill their vacancies. Having decided to organize a girl Company in the jurisdiction, those having one or both parents prepared leave name and address at 629 22nd street. Now I must thank those again who first thought and deemed it best to speak for the welfare of my promotion in Pythian life. W. A. GREENLEAF. Col. Commanding Jurisdiction of Colorado MARRIAGE A HARD PROBLEM. How Long Should Man Wait for Psychological Moment? Marriage is a never-ceasing problem; it is impossible to tell just when the moment of extreme regret will come and the limit of human endurance will be reached. Down in Missouri there is a man who has filed an application for divorce because his wife "called him names" back in 1868. Undoubtedly he has good reason for his delaying taking determined measures. Possibly he felt that the psychological moment had not arrived. Perhaps the enormity of the offense and the knowledge that the law gives him recourse did not immediately present themselves. And it may be that the other woman did not come along until 1905. The average husband is so considerate and tender-hearted that he shrinks from complaining of his domestic lot until the other woman heaves in sight, and it does not take her long to convince him how absurd it is to continue to live with a wife who called him names thirty-seven years ago.—Exchange. Personal Briefs. Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are. The annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias, Damon and Pythias lodges, the Court of Calanthe, Lily cadet corps, the Uniform rank of Aetna and Eureka companies under the staff officers who have headquarters here occurred Sunday at Zion Baptist church. It was the most notable success that the order has ever achieved in this city. The line of march was formed at the hall and was headed by the Floto band, and escorted by the uniformed Knights. The line was lengthy and well conducted. After reaching the church and occupying the assigned section, the usual program was carried out in the presence of an overflowing church. Dr. Westbrook acted as master of ceremonies, replacing George Logan, who was chancellor commander for the day. Rev. Ford preached one of the ablest sermons that has ever been delivered to a secret society. Solos by Mrs. Pinn and Clarence Clark, a paper by Mrs. Fife and an address by C. A. Franklin were the other individual numbers. Allan Davis was chairman of the committee which had in charge this very excellent service. A liberal collection for charitable purposes was raised. The indisposed this week: Mrs. Levey was confined to her bed with acute indigestion Monday and Tuesday; Miss Pansy Johnson was ill with influenza; Mrs. Eva Minor is suffering from pleurisy; little Ada Downey of Pearl street has had the pleasure of erysipelas during her vacation period; Mrs. Logan Martin, who for the past four weeks has been ill, was operated on Wednesday; Mrs. Alice Jackson had not fully recovered from her two months' illness, as she is yet under the doctor's care; Jack Stanley is reported dangerously ill at this writing; Miss Carrie Richardson of West Larimer street, is still the sufferer of acute peritonitis; Mrs. Sarah A. Milas is ill with inflammatory rheumatism; Mrs. J. H. Moore of Blake street has been sick three weeks and is better now; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Rickman are up from a recent attack of the lagrippe; Mrs. P. Myers of 152 York street has been sick with rheumatism of the heart for three weeks, better now. Early last Friday morning the home of John Watkins of Welton street was gladdened by the arrival of a tenpound boy. The infant was here but a few hours as he died Saturday morning. Miss Ellen Williams, daughter of Mrs. Mattie Williams, is here from THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Seattle, Wash., visiting her mother. Mrs. Geo. Spates of 2944 Arapahoe street entertained a party of friends Sunday at a five o'clock dinner, the party consisting of Mesdames Walter and Clarence Spates, Miss Rosa Mitchell and Messrs. Walter and Clarence Spates. At the dinner the boyhood and girlhood days down on the farm was one of the sweetest reminiscences. To the happy surprise of the nearest and dearest friends of Miss Allie Lawson and J. C. Whitaker, was their marriage by Rev. Dyatt last week. Miss Lawson is of Topeka, Kansas, and has a host of friends in Denver. Mr. Whitaker has already given away three boxes of cigars. The Statesman extends its congratulations. The happy couple is at home at 1742 Glenarm street to their friends. Dewey Hayden won so many prizes at the Empire theater of the amateur class that he is now barred from participating. Mrs. Lucy Rollins is up visiting her friends, after a siege of several weeks of illness. Miss Beatrice Reed is a guest of her sister, Mrs. Mae Kitchen of Arapahoe street. Seldom if ever can old-time friends set a prettier and happier dinner than was given Miss Ida Woods by her girl schoolmate, Mrs. Ellenora Wilson, at her mother's residence on Welton street. Mrs. Wilson, recently coming from Kansas City, brought and used the latest dinner table design, "the woodland," which was carried out to perfection. Mrs. John Contee left for Los Angeles for her health to have an extended visit. FOR RENT—Furnished house modern 5 rooms in desirable locality. Apply at this office at once.

The Alliance Sunday had one of its unusually good programs and the several numbers were greatly applauded. The "Power of Thought" as was put forth by Mrs. Nannie L.

She showed her preparation of the subject in her plain everyday illustrations, pointing out the different stages of the mind from the intuition to the keen and scientific as well as profound and well regulated thought put into action. "Put a good thought in action and receive one back, and then put gossip of your friends through three tests: First, is it true? second, is it kind and not injurious to them? third, is it helpful and encouraging for me to think such of them?" said Mrs. Brooks.

A builder in Pennsylvania, having heard that the men did not start work at the proper time, thought he would drop down about 6:30 one morning and see. Going up the yard he caught sight of a joiner standing smoking, with his kit not even opened. Simply asking his name, which he found to be Jake Robertson, he called him into the office, and handing him four days' pay told him to leave at once. After having seen the man clear of the yard, he went up to the foreman, and told him he had made an example of Jake Robertson by paying him off for not starting to work at the proper hour. "Jumping Jupiter, sir!" ejaculated the foreman, "that chap was only looking for a job." Most Curious Vegetable.

Prof. Yamashita, who is negotiating with Secretary Morton for a place as instructor of jiu-jitsu at Annapolis, is a mild eyed little man who apparently knows the jiu-jitsu game backward. He was at the white house a few days ago talking to the president, who has had a few lessons in the art of how to break the neck of your opponent without ruffling your hair or soiling your collar. Secretary Morton was there, too. Morton is more than 6 feet tall, with shoulders a yard across. Prof. Yamashita picked Morton as a lay figure for some experiments. He toyed with the big secretary as if he had been a child. Senator Lodge was there. He saw with amazement the way the little Japanese flung Morton around the room. After the exhibition was over he went to Morton and said: "Do you know, Morton, I was thinking of coming to your assistance." "Indeed!" Morton replied, as he adjusted his disarranged clothing. "But as you are a conservative New England statesman you took another think." — Washington Correspondence New York World. HE MILKED A COW. Political Speaker's Triumph Over Skeptical Listener. John Barrett, United States minister to Panama, who has been minister to Slam and Argentina and commissioner general for the Louisiana Purchase exposition, had a unique experience during the late political campaign. While speaking in a new England town he made the assertion that he knew well what it was to work on a farm. A young farmer in the crowd, made skeptical by the speaker's faultless Prince Albert coat, immaculate shirt front, pale-gray trousers and shining tie, shouted out: "You work on a farm? Bet yer never milked a cow in your life." "I take your bet," said Barrett; "I will put up $100 against the same amount that I can milk a cow faster than you can." This dare was accepted. The Democrats raised a purse of $100 to match Barrett's $100 bill. Two cows were brought around. At the cry of "Ready! Go!" the milk rattled into the bottom of the pails, and Barret's pail was full first, the meeting winding up in a blaze of glory. Information for Jerome Jones.

Some time ago we called attention to the brilliant work of a colored employee of the Rio Grande railroad in piloting a train through a dangerous flood. In our last issue we again mentioned him, this time in connection with his miraculous escape in the Adobe wreck and his subsequent heroism in saving the lives of seventeen persons who were imprisoned in the wreck. We refer to W. A. Watkins. The bar which is raised against the advancement of colored men has operated to prevent him receiving any substantial benefit through promotion for his past services and probably will be in evidence at this time. Yet in the name of justice and fair play, we can not pass over the matter without protesting. The man who would blot out the sun and plunge the world into perpetual darkness would be an angel of mercy beside him who deprives mankind of hope. The scholar at his problem, the artisan at his handiwork, the statesman in his law-making are alike inspired by prospect not only of the betterment of mankind, but of the improvement of their own position. For the white man who has saved company property and human lives as has Watkins, there is sure advancement with no limitation except his ability, but for him, there is an acknowledgment of his good service and the same old job as porter. Socrates once said that the man who is really good is he who is not inspired by hope of reward, but who does good for its own sake. By this standard the Negro is certainly good. Such meritorious service as we perform is not done for what may come out of it. In twenty-four years the Rio Grande road has lost no property by the carelessness of our people, yet the door of opportunity swings no wider for us. In no sense is this meant as a criticism of this railroad above others, for we do believe that the present condition is rather the making of the trainmen's unions than of the magnates, but we would be able to say with full heart that God still lives, if in recognition of such service it would make on opening for men who protect its interests regardless of their color. NOW IS OUR CHANCE. More than a year ago we called the attention of colored voters to the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. power which they had in their hands for forcing some kind of decent consideration in employment from the public utility corporations which operate in this city. There is no good reason why we should be denied the privilege of working for the Water Company, the Gas Company, the Telephone Company and the Tramway. There are not at present two dozen Negroes employed by all these companies, despite the fact that we contribute our share to their prosperity. It is not often that we are in a position to get a square deal or "get even." For one of them, this is the appointed time. If we are to contribute toward perpetuating the graft the tramway has, it certainly has got to share the spoil by giving us employment. This is not politics. This is business. We deserve a chance to earn a living and we can force it by remembering that our own interests at this time are more important to us than any of the clap trap of the municipal ownership enthusiast or the corporation agent. THE PRESIDENT DOES WHAT BROOKSWOULD NOT. President Roosevelt's assurance that he will name Rev. Gladden for an army chaplaincy is the first ray of light that has come to Colorado Negroes since this has been a state. Dear as has been the President to every Negro's heart for his manhood and fair play, this strikes home, and to our general laudation is added a profound appreciation and gratitude. In this connection we regret to have to speak of the shameless efforts which Congressman Brooks is making to give forth the impression that the appointment comes upon his proposal. Just as we have convinced him of broken promises to the colored voters of this state, so we now convict him of trying to deceive by claiming this appointment. As we heard out of his own mouth an assurance of fair treatment, which he has not kept, so we heard months ago of the proposed appointment before he even knew of it. It is a shame that he is so ungrateful to Negroes who are the mainstay of the party which he represents. It is a double shame that the President of his own initiative had to choose a colored man and leave to Brooks the endorsement of him. The party organization is such that a hypocrite can hide his unfairness successfully, but one in this case needs only look at past records to see how improbable Brooks' claim is. It is the same with TERMS. MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY Will convince you of it Through Standard Pullman Free Reclining Chair Cars, H KANSAS CITY & Through Tourist Pullman and points east.

How comes it that he is so powerful to do for us here in the mint when he was unable to make Dana, one of his own creatures, give us a square deal in Colorado Springs? How comes it that he has deliberately broken the assurance that he would secure the appointment of a colored person every six months and still is enough our friend to land Gladden? It requires only common sense to see that in this as in everything else Brooks is following the band wagon. He is the choice of the factions of the party in this state not because his merit demands it, but because he is of the caliber to ride two horses at once. He is such a pigmy that neither side fears him. Colored people could forgive him his insignificance if he would only be a man and do the fair thing. His friends will do his future a service to make no more claims for him. His chief cause for fear is that the state may get eyes on him and count him for what he is. In the same degree that this appointment is a reflection upon the treatment accorded colored republicans in Colorado, it is a compliment to us and to the man who has been chosen to represent us. Our virtues have always been on the blind side of Colorado leaders, but have been permanent and far-reaching enough to attract the attention of national leaders. We congratulate Dev. Gladden on his selection and are sure that he will ably represent us. --- Cars equipped with Electric Lights superiority of service. Sleepers, Tourist Sleepers, High Back Seat Coaches to ST.
