Cut Buttons and Bits of Clothing From the Bodies of the Negroes Who Were Executed. Mr. Holly, N. J., March 24.—Rufus Johnson and George Small, both colored, the former confessing his crime and the latter maintaining his innocence, were hanged here this morning for the murder of Miss Florence W. Allison, who was assaulted and killed in a barn near Moorestown, N. J., on January 18. Owing to the fact that there was no guard in the jailyard the crowd rushed in after the execution and began cutting the buttons and portions of the clothing worn by the murderers. The crowd pulled and hauled at the bodies, and in the crush the clothing was partially removed, exposing the corpses to view.

They were exchanging the gossip of the mining camp of Nevada. "Did you hear," said the fellow with the diamond scarf pin in his sweater, "how they did up Sullivan over in Kawich?" "Really?" "Yep. Sullivan's saloon at Kawich is busted flatter than the bank of Goldfield. You haven't been over to Kawich, have you? It's forty-five miles out in the wilderness, and water, when there is any in camp, is worth its weight in radium. Well, a fellow went into Sullivan's the other day with seven friends, and just out of pure cussedness they all ordered water." It Went. The next man who was examined as to his qualifications for serving on the jury pleaded unfitness. "I beg pardon, your honor," he said, turning to the judge, "but it is not customary for a butcher to sit on a jury in a murder trial, is it?" "No," said the judge. "Are you a butcher?" "I suppose that's what you might call me, your honor. I'm a manufacturer of fly paper." "You may stand aside, sir," said the judge, coughing violently in his handkerchief. Colorado Springs. D. B. Faw, Agent, 802 N. Walnut St. Phone Main 1024. Mr. Gilbert Beauford of Cripple Creek was in the city visiting relatives and friends this week. The party given in honor of Mr. Benj, H. Spears, by Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Allen, 7228 Weber street, was a pleasant affair. The chatting game was all the go. Those present were Misses Edna Wrinfrey, Cord. Alexander, Lena Hall, Jennie Johnson, Messrs. Seigle Farlbet, Frank Coller, Albert Fisher, Garie Buckner, Wilfred Penning, Freddie Bell. A fire took place this week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Allen, 722 So. Weber street; damage done to property, about $300. Mr. Nelson H. Clay of New Haven, Conn., who recently came to this city in search of health, died Tuesday, 6 a.m. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. The Men's Sunday Forum last Sunday was a grand success. We give these public meetings monthly, that the people may know what this organization is accomplishing. The ladies who so kindly responded to the invitation on our programs have our highest appreciation. The choir rendered some choice selections. The song, "Face to Face," by Miss P. G. Lampton, was not only well rendered but pathetic. Mrs. E. B. Butler proved herself equal to the subject, "Do the Rifficulties Which Confront This Country Affect Our People?" Her argument was logical and full of thought. Mrs. Ida W. Clark recited "The Parson's Vacation" and proved herself an elocutionist of first rank. The paper on Fred Douglass, by L. L. Duncan, was a masterly piece of composition. He traced this mighty genius from the depths of poverty to the panic of American statesmanship. D. B. Faw closed by holding up Christ's life as the world's ideal. IDEAL DRESSMAKING. Ladies need no longer long for good service or fashionable dressmaking. The Ideal Dressmaking Parlors at 426 18th Street is conducted by Madam McGruder, on the highest order. Tailor-made shirt waists a specialty. Pattern made to order. Prices cheerfully quoted. 'Phone 1689 Main A Scientific Wonder. The cures that stand to its credit make Bucklen's Arnica Salve a scientific wonder. It cured E. R. Mulford, lecturer for the Patrons of Husbandry, Waynesboro, Pa., of a distressing case of Piles. It heals the worst Burns, Sores, Boils, Ulcers, Cuts, Wounds, Chilblains and Salt Rheum. Only 25c at all druggists. Chinese Leather Poorly Tanned. Shoes manufactured by the Chinese are all made of imported leather, for the reason that the few tanneries in the empire are unable to turn out a satisfactory product. The leather is soft and spongy and practically useless for the manufacture of footwear. Hides in abundance can be obtained in China, but, as the natives are ignorant of the proper method of tanning, comparatively few are retained in the country for that purpose.

"Mankind is suspicious," said a chemist of the board of health. "Only last week a millionaire clergyman sent me a piece of pumpkin pie for analysis. He suspected that his daughter, a beautiful and good girl, wanted to put him out of the way. The pie contained, of course, none but the usual ingredients. "Some people send me pickles, sauces, blackings—profitable and widely advertised compositions that they want to learn how to duplicate and vend themselves. "There isn't a well-known patent medicine that hasn't been submitted to me for analysis tw or thirty times."—New York Pre Salvation on the Links. The bishop of Manchester declares that if the people will not come to the church the church must go to the people, and follow them to their week-end resorts. It is, we hear, proposed to make a start by supplying golf links with missionaries, who will sing a short hymn after each drive. In the event of a fooze the hymn will be sung with extraordinary vigor in order to drown any lay remarks that may be made.—Punch. Australian Gold. Since gold was first found in Australia the amount which has been produced is said to exceed in value $8,139,000,000. 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. To read it is a liberal Education, and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, to his family, and to the community. In no other way can the investment of 2 1/2 cents per day for that is all The Republican costs any subscriber-bring such rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure. Information, instruction and entertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth of the reader. It stands for Law and Order in the State-for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness in the Home. If you are not already enrolled among its splendid list of Patrons send on your subscription and give it a fair trial at 75 cents per month for Daily and Sunday.

Cause of Ocean Tides, Tides are caused by the gravita- tional attraction or pull of the sun and moon upon the water, and upon the earth itself. The moon being so much nearer than the sun, is, of course, the principal cause. When the moon is directly over a given piace it pulls the water under it, and thus tends to keep up a tidal wave just under the moom At the same time it ts pulling the earth itself; but it pulls the water more than the earth underneath, simply because the moon {s nearer to the water on the surface than it is to the solid earth behind it. Genius or Fool? Many curious and slender causes for divorce have been recorded. Here is one of the latest and most curious. During the honeymoon they were walking along the street in Paris, when in front of them they saw a long-haired fellow whose trousers were patched with a piece of news- paper. The husbané suggested that the man must be a genius. The wife wife remarked that she thought rather he must be a fool, or he would have used cloth instead of paper. Whereupon they quarreled, apd now they are divorced. Similarity of Day and Lifetime. Life for a day is but an epitome of a lifetime. We wake in the morning with no knowledge of where our souls have been wandering while the senses slept; with fresh vigor and interest we enter upon the occupations of our daily work and fulfil our duties with an energy that begins to fail ag the evening shadows lengthen; as dark- ness deepens weariness comes upon us and at last we are glad to lay aside Our work and cares ana to surrender ourselves to the sleep that spirits our souls back again into the unknown. Marie Antoinette Fond of Cards. Marie Antoinette was a slave to cards. On one occasion she played for thirty-six hours at a sitting, with but an intermission of a couple. of hours. “The play at the queen's ta- ble at Fontainebleau,” wrote the Em- veror Joseph II, “was like that in a <ommon gambling-house; people of all kinds were there, and mingled without decorum; great scandal was caused by the fact that several of the ladies cheated.” | a ce ee | The Pity of It. A certain lady of wealth, living in the north of Ireland, was recover ing from a serious illness and one morning called for an egg, which she ate mith much enjoyment. As she passed back the cup and plate to her nurse, she said: “An egg is a delicious thing.” Then with much melancholy, “What a pity,” she added, “it is so common among the poor.”—London Globe.

Population, about 1,200; climate, beautiful; one of the greatest fruit countries there is; not many of our folks here, but those that are here own their homes and others are building; a good, first class rooming house for our people would do well here.

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?"

LJ Qwon Chen, a diplomat of the Chinese legation, was lunching with three lawyers in a Philadelphia club. "I suppose you admire our courts of law?" said one of the lawyers complacently. Mr. Li, as he lighted a cigarette, nodded and smiled. "Oh, yes," he said. "Yes, very much. At the same time I think that your lawyers, often resort to transparent humbugs and tricks. You expect pleas and excuses to pass muster in court that would never pass muster in a business office or in the home. Is this right? Is that sensible?" He frowned. "No, no. Take for example, hypnotism. What was it that a Vermont justice, full of rage, told me the other day at Atlantic City? He said that the use of hypnotism as a defense would soon be carried to such absurd lengths that if two prisoners were accused of murder their lawyer would get them both off with some such line of questioning as this: "'You, A, c. i. you committed this crime under hypnotic influence. Is that correct?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Who hypnotized you?' 'B. sir.' "‘Well, B. A declares you hypnotized him. What have you to say for yourself?' "‘He's right, sir,' answers B. ‘Another man hypnotized me into hypnotizing him.’" OLD WOOD BEST FOR VIOLINS Manufacturers Buy Wreckage from the Lippincott Mansion. The old wood in the Lippincott mansion has been secured by musical instrument makers, who claim that they have found a treasure in that the wood is not only seasoned but is of a kind that it is almost impossible to get nowadays. One of the foremost violin makers of this country made the discovery that the joists in the yellow mansion were of a quality of spruce wood, now extinct, that is of rare quality for the rim and back of the violins. He got a monopoly on the old wood, and while the wreckers were tearing down the house he employed detectives to watch his prize. Other violin makers soon learned of the fine quality of the wood, and they endeavored to get some of it, only to learn that their alert competitor had purchased it all. The violin makers say that the joists are unusually thick, and that the spruce is of the finest quality that has been found in this country. They claim that nothing to equal it for violin making has been found in America, and that with proper skill some high-priced instruments will be made of it. - Philadelphia Record. Colonel a Spanish Title. The title "colonel" is derived from the Spanish. The name is "coronel," which may account for the English pronunciation. Highest Point of Safety.

Swedish school children, under the guidance of their teachers, annually plant about 600,000 trees. SAW BARGAIN IN NEW LIGHT George Washington's Judgment of H Would Have Been Rapid. I had talked with the farmer in the seat with me for a quarter of an hour about crops and the weather when he switched off the subject by saying: "I think I made a rather good bargain uptown to-day." "In what?" "My wife wanted a pair of shoes, and I remembered seeing a lot of second-hand ones when I was in town last. So I went up town and for a dollar I got a pair just exactly as good as if I had said $2 for a pair at home. It's business to save a dollar whenever you can, ain't it?" "Of course. Had you any other errand uptown?" "Nope; I just went for the shoes." "What's the fare up and back?" "A dollar ten." "And you've lost about a day?" I said nothing further, and after about ten minutes had passed, during which time the farmer seemed to be doing some thinking, he all at once turned and said: "Say them shoes cost me 10 cents more than a new pair would right at home!" "Exactly." "And you had it figured out ten minutes ago?" "Yes." "Waal, stranger, George Washington was a purty big man from all accounts, but if he had been in your place I don't believe he'd have been ten seconds in callin' me a blamed old fool!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. SMILE THEIR STOCK IN TRADE. French and Japanese Women Know Value of Parted Lips. The next of the French beauty secrets relates to the smile. The Frenchwoman smiles a great deal. It is a queer lit smile, and sometimes, like her shr. it looks artificial. But it is her stock in trade. Without her smile the Frenchwoman would be far less attractive than she is. The only other nation in the world that understands the art of smiling is the Japanese, continues the Boston Herald. The Japanese woman knows all about the smile. The Frenchwoman understands the secret of the smile and the value of it. At your first bon-mot she will smile. At your second she will smile and shrug her shoulders appreciatively. She will smile at your witticisms and flatter you into thinking they are good. She is wonderful in her smile, is the Frenchwoman. It is a wide, beautiful smile, and she shows a fine row of perfectly kept teeth. Smile often and show your teeth is one of the French beauty precepts. The Frenchwoman will bleach her cheeks until they are clear and creamy, but she will keep her lips red, for she knows that red lips set off white teeth and make the mouth winning. THE THEATER.

MATTIE HOLLEY, Cairman of Committee. through an error on the part of the Statesman reporter the names of Mesdames W. D.

They had nothing to do with the entertainment whatever and we therefore announce the correction. A number of high school and university girls recently organized a Greek sorority named the Gamma Sigma Kappa. It is for girls only.

Barnett passed through the city Tuesday enroute to Boulder, having returned from Jacksonville, Ill., where she was in attendance upon her grandmother, Mrs. Armstead, in her sickness and death. Mrs. Armstead is remembered by many Denverites, having visited here. She was 106 years of age and was one of the notable figures in her section. She had lived in the one place for 71 years and was universally beloved. She was born in slavery and had her freedom purchased by her father. She had three grand children, two great and one great great grand children. Lengthy obituaries were published in the Illinois white press. John B.

There is some question whether it was the good music or the popularity of the man in charge that brought out the record-breaking crowd at the reception of the Mecca Cafe Monday night. At any rate, they were there from Capitol hill, Park hill and everywhere, and Felix Woods, who was in charge of the downstairs, does not know whether to give the credit to the Harris orchestra or keep it for himself.

"It was him that had me detained up there. He comes to my cell one afternoon to see how I was getting on, and after a little he asks: "'And what crime did you commit my man, that they sent you here?

The wearied hands are folded; Their duties ended, on the painless breast. When duty called him, his noble soul of fear felt not a quiver. And within his tired eyes the light of hope shone. His was a fearless soul, As drew his feet anear the mystic river, That flows between this life and the unknown, He felt that when his toilworn spirit with duty laurels won, had quit the earth, A gathered host of bright immortals waited, To welcome him unto the glad new birth. The loyal eyes that beamed with kindness, But 'tis the blindness of earth alone. He gazes now through glad, immortal eyes, Upon the glorious spread beyond the skies.

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 Siam 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 A carriage driver was taking Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Jones through Central park, New York city, pointing out the features, and finally drove up to the Art Museum, when Mr. Jones, to test his descriptive powers, asked him to explain about the Egyptian obelisk, when the garrulous Hibernian said, "That, sor, is Cleopatrick's Needle."—Exchange.

"Lucinda," said Mr. 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 me a 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, if 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; I 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. elstrum became impatient. "Lucinda," he called out from the sitting 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?"—Youth's Companion.

The fact that Messrs. Tumlin, Robinson, Perkins and Campbell were employed at the mint before the appointment of other help was made from the list of those taking the civil service examination, led us into the error of stating last week that they were not under civil service. We learn that they have been placed within the civil service provisions by order of the commission. We apologize to the four gentlemen. The ease with which this error was made leads us to ask that all such be reported to us that we may correct mistakes, for they are sure to happen in the gathering of news in quantity. Some one ought to have an eye on the library. When the new building is erected, it will be manned by persons who have the ear of the library board and it is not early to look ahead. The appointment of one of the two colored men who took the recent civil service examination for appointment on the police and fire departments, gives conclusive proof of the possibilities before us if we are prepared to take advantage of them. The present fire and police board is like all others, giving attention to those whose claims are intelligently and persistently made. Mob law is in decadence. Public sentiment is growing against it at a rapid rate, yet like a dying creature, it breaks out spasmodically and does outrages which paralyze the comprehension and lead one to ask is law dead?

Maudlin sentiment characterizes white speakers and writers when the Filipinos are under consideration. They weep for the fallen outlaws across the water, but don't care about the Negroes in their own country even in their own state, who suffer extreme penalties for insignificant and unproven crimes.
