"Ever sat down thirteen to table?" inquired the man with the salmon-pink tie. "Once," said the man with the white mustache. "Well, you never observed any bad luck follow it, did you?" "I'll bet he did," growled the man who believes in these things. "Well," said the white mustache, "it was a trifle unlucky for most of 'em." "Any of 'em die?" asked the man who believed. "Not enough grub to go round?" sneered the salmon-pink tie. "There were no victuals," said the white mustache softly. "It took place to a lawyer's office; it was a meeting of creditors; there were twelve besides myself sat down to table." There was a long pause, and then the salmon-pink tie spoke again. "In what way did the meeting prove unlucky, may I ask?" "Poor creatures," sighed the white mustache, "they never got a penny out of me. I was the bankrupt."—London Answers. Breaking it Gently. In a certain Danish province noted for its superior breed of cattle, the country people are not only very thrifty, but exceedingly fond of their cows, as may be gathered from the following characteristic story which has recently been told: Farmer Jan was walking sadly down the road one day, when the village pastor met him. "Why so sad, Farmer Jan?" said the pastor. "Ah! I have a very sad errand, pastor," replied Jan. "What is it?" "Farmer Henrik's cow is dead in my pasture, and I am on my way to tell him." "A hard task, Jan." "Indeed it is pastor, but I shall break it to him gently." "How will you do that?"" "I shall tell him first that it is his mother that is dead, and then, having opened the way for the telling of sadder news, I shall say to him that it is not his mother, but the cow!" Defined.

A sacred musical was rendered at St. John's Baptist church Friday evening for the purpose of presenting the pastor with a new suit of clothes. The event was pleasing to the many who attended.

He is exceedingly slow, nearly always being a little behind time. One day he was engaged to carry a lady to a train which it was very important she should catch. She watched and waited, with hat and coat on, until it was nearly train time. At last Mr. C. drove up, hurrying not an atom. The lady's husband flew to the door, and impatiently shouted: "What's the use of coming now? It's nearly train time."

One day mother told Willie that he was getting too old and big a boy to be spending money for candy, and if he wanted any more money he would have to earn it himself. But Willie seemed to be more prosperous day after day. One day his mother noticed a lot of children yelling and shrieking in the back yard. Upon investigation she found Willie surrounded by the admiring children and this sign upon the playhouse: "Willie Jones Will Eat "1 small green worm for 1 cent. 1 large green worm for 2 cents, 1 small fuzzy worm for 3 cents, 1 large fuzzy worm for 4 cents, 1 small green toad, 10 cents; 1 large green toad. 25 cents."

Cardinal Manning used to tell the following story of his friend, Bishop Bramstone, who seems to have been a wit as well as an eminent ecclesias tie: One day a member of his flock ap- proached him—whether in earnest or not does not appear—with the remark that he wanted a wife, and he added the usual modest conditions that she must be young, rich and pretty. The bishop answered him upon the instant. “You are mistaken,” said he. “My name {is Bramstone, not Brimstone. I do not make matches.” | The Denver Republican has al- | ways avoided the fallacies and ‘knaveries of yellow journalism, und its cteadily increasing Circula- tion proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepre- sentation, standing fast for the Right, i heartily approved with grow ing force by the intelligent | Public to which it appeals. | To read it is a liberal Education, sand the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, ‘to his family, and to the commu- | nity | In no other way can the invest- ment of 2% cents per day —for that is all The Republican neers any subscriber—bring such ‘rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure. — Information, instruction and en- ‘tertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth st the reader. _ It stands for Law and Order in the State—for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness in the Home.

Moss arrived in the city this week from Spokane, Washington, en route to his home in Denver. Mrs. Ada Brown came up from Denver last week and will again make Cheyenne her home. William Whiteside was in town this week shaking hands with friends. He is en route to San Francisco. Messrs. Jackson Lewis and William Redd did commendable work in preparing coffee, soup, etc., for the refugees who passed through here last Sunday. They numbered 700. Mrs. Douglass Giggetts has been in poor health for the past week. She suffers from a complication of troubles and is seldom able to get out. The following young men presented in a very creditable manner the temperance drama, "Demons of the Glass," last Thursday evening: Nolle Smith, Henry Robinson, Frank Steele, Orlando Gaskin, Clifford Pierce and Simon Gaskin. They were assisted by Mrs. Adelaide Gaskin and the young ladies of Sunday School Class No. 3. The amount cleared by this effort and turned over to the trustees of the church was $13.50. Mrs. M. H. Harrison is preparing for an extended visit to Denver and Colorado Springs in the early part of next month. Mr. William Ashford, Mrs. Ada Wilson and Mr. Chas. Lucas have been quite active in the revival services this week, and as leaders of the prayer meetings have did much toward awakening spiritual enthusiasm. Rev. J. H. Brown of Ward's chapel, Denver, is in the city assisting Rev. Greeniee in revival services. The meetings opened last Sunday under very encouraging conditions and everything points to great success. Rev. Brown has already made a favorable impression upon the people here, and his sermons on both morning and evening of last Sunday were intelligent and spiritual. On Monday night one of the greatest meetings ever held in Cheyenne was conducted and as a result of the same every unconverted person in the house expressed a desire for prayer, and Mrs. Ollie Redd accepted Christ and was received in full fellowship to the church. The agent of The Statesman will call on all subscribers who are behind next week. Please be prepared to make a partial or full payment. A Negro THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. journal, like all other business enterprises, needs money, and this paper is no exception to the rule. A Washington Feature. Thomas Nelson Page was pointing out the salient characteristics of Washington. "One characteristic is," he said, "the formal dress that all men wear. You don't see the men in Washington clad in rough sack suits, tan colored shoes, and lounge hats. Like Londoners, they wear the black and ceremonious frock coat, with its various rich combatants. "This fact drew from a little boy I know a quaint remark. "Mamma,' he said, during his first drive through Washington's streets, 'there must have been a sale.' "A sale?' said she. 'What of?' "High hats,' said the little boy."— Washington Post. HIS BUCKET-SHOP EXPERIENCE. Uncle Reuben Got Left No Matter How the Market Went. "I've allus had a curiosity to know what a bucket shop was," said Uncle Reuben as he got back from the city and was waiting for his mail at the postoffice, "and when I got up town today I asked a policeman to direct me to one. "'Mister,' says I to a feller when I got inside, 'is this what you call a bucket shop?'" "'It is,' he replied. 'We keep all kinds of buckets here.' "'How much for a dozen?'" "'Want to buy 'em on spec?' "‘All right. You put up $2 and come in half an hour later.’ "I give up my $2 and took a stroll,' said Uncle Reuben, "and I was back there within an hour. "‘Buckets went down after you left,' says the feller, 'and you've lost your $2. Better put in two more and see if you can't hit the market.’ "I handed over two more and took another stroll. When I got back the feller says to me: "‘Buckets went up after you left and you have lost your $2.’ " 'Backets went down and I lost, and buckets went up and I lost. How does a feller ever make anything?' " 'Oh, you buy a well to go with your bucket,' says he. 'Gimme $4 and take another walk.'" "But you didn't?' was asked. "Not much! I hunted around and found a place where they was holdin' a markdown sale on hot-water bags and got a dozen for 50 cents a piece. They beat buckets all to smash for carryin' hot water around the house!" Baltimore American. J. A. 6 We pay our IDEAL DRUG THE IDEAL DRUG DR. E. L. FAULKNER. Manager 1863 Arapahoe Street.

Cuts Taxes. The company agrees to pay into the city treasury $1,000,000 in cash, the payments to be made quarter-annually at the rate of $12,500, this money to be placed in the general fund for defraying city expenses. This is $50,000 per year. The company further agrees to sell street arc lamps to the city at the rate of $60 per lamp per year, and park lamps at $4 per month. Upon the basis of lamps now in use, this will mean a saving of $35,502.41 per year to the taxpayers; the annual payment and the reduction of cost of street lighting means a total saving of $85, 502.41 per years. Saves You 6.2 Per cent. The amount apportioned from taxes for city purposes this year was $1,418,666,72. Assuming the city expenses to be the same next year, these reductions are equivalent to a decrease in city taxes of 6.20 per cent. in order to secure the same service; or, expressed in other words, due to these payments and reductions, your taxes next year can be 6.2 per cent. less and the city still have funds to operate all of its departments on the same scale as this year. Lowest Rate in Country. The rate charged for lighting current, 10 cents gross, or 9 cents net, is as low as the lowest rate charged in any city in the United States for residence lighting. The rate in Chicago, St. Louis and Boston is 20 cents, in Kansas City, Los Angeles and Omaha, it is 15 cents. Of forty-seven cities in the United States with a population of over 100,000, there are but nine cities where the rate is as low as 10 cents per kilowatt hour, and in no city is it lower. Reductions Begin Now. This agreement provides that it shall become effective at once and the reduction in rates and payments to the city shall commence immediately. It is further provided that other reductions shall be made from year to year without the necessity of additional legislation. Consequently, to put off the matter at this time would mean to fail to take advantage of the reduction now offered, and would deprive the city of the yearly payment. Six Reductions. The franchise provides that the average rates to be received by the company shall lessen constantly. The rates received by the company for the remainder of this year and for 1907, shall not exceed 95 cents per thousand for gas and $7\frac{1}{2}$ cents per kilowatt hour for electricity for lighting purposes. Further reductions are agreed upon every two years, until the average rates do not exceed 75 cents per thousand for gas and 6 cents for electric light. More Lights—No More Cost. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD add practically fifty per cent. more lights without increasing the appropriation for this expense; that is, you may have additional street lights in your district without the burden of taxation being increased one cent. City Needs More Lights. Denver has more miles of streets than any other city of its size in the country. In consequence the expense of lighting the streets is greater than in more closely-settled cities. There should be a street lamp on every street corner in Denver, and it is our aim in making this proposition to enable you to have one. A Direct Saving. In all cities where the connections are made to the city sewer system and where they are made to the water main, whether operated by the city or private companies, the consumer is required to make the connection to his house at his own expense. The Denver Gas and Electric Company makes no charge for extending the service from the company's mains to the consumer's premises. Just the Same. For days and weeks before his ceath it was remembered, the wealthy old foundryman pottered around in the molding room, over some task which he would not permit any one to help him about. Chuckling and nodding his head he kept at his work, until finally he ordered the molten iron run into an immense flat mold. When the result had cooled off, it was seen to be a huge, thin, flat sheet of iron, bearing a lengthy inscription in raised letters, beginning: "I, John Pott Mettle, being of sound mind and body," etc. "There," murmured the old man, with the grim smile for which he was famous, "they will see that the iron will which is characteristic of me shall be in evidence even after I have passed away." How vain are the hopes of man! Six months after the death of John Pott Mettle the lawyers had broken his will as easily as if it had been written on ice. Reports Denied by Wynne. Robert J. Wynne, consul general to London, while in Washington had his attention called to some stories printed in a western paper charging that there had been "goings on" in his London career. Mr. Wynne glanced over the publication and said philosophically: "It's no more, perhaps, than might have been expected. You see, when I was in the post-office department I upset the calculations of more than one daily paper which enjoyed special privileges in connection with the rural free delivery. That is their way of fighting back. But there is nothing to the tales. I need only tell you that I have never been a guest at such a dinner as is described and I have, unfortunately, never been presented at court."—Exchange. Steamers for Lake Titicaca. A second steamer is about to be placed upon Lake Titicaca, which is 12,000 feet above sea level in the Andes of Peru.

The paper used is a sort of artificial parchment, obtained through the action of sulphuric acid upon ordinary paper. The sheets are spread out and covered upon one side with a thin coating of a solution of resin in alcohol or ether. Evaporation is precipitated through a current of air and the paper is then warmed until the resin has again become soft. Then powdered aluminium is sprinkled upon it and the paper subjected to strong pressure to fasten the powder thereon. The metallic covering so obtained is neither affected by the air nor by fatty substances. Aluminium paper is much cheaper than tin foil and will, so it is thought in Germany, become a strong competitor thereof. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &C.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. James Thompson was the scene of a beautiful wedding on the evening of the 18th ult.. when Miss Irma Crosswhite of Denver and Mr. Luther Davis of Kansas City were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The house was nicely decorated. Luncheon was spread in abundance. Elder Hubbard officiated. Mrs. Thompson was the matron of honor and Mr. W. H. Owens was best man. The couple were well remembered by their many friends and have their best wishes for a long and happy life. The groom is one of our young business men of the West. Presiding Elder James A. Hubbard was in Ogden looking after the interest of the mission and was quite a welcome visitor in our city. Every one is glad to see Mr. Henry Owens on the streets of Ogden again. Mrs. L. W. Fair is on the sick list. Mesdames Lizzie and Jessie Reece passed through the city last week en route to Denver from San Francisco. The ladies seemed to be very much pleased with their trip homeward. They say Denver is good enough for them. Graded Christianity. In a certain church in Greater New York the children of the rich have Bible-lore instilled into their youthful minds on the level of the church floor, while the infantile poor are taught who the fathers of Abraham were, in the basement. "Who teaches the children upstairs?" a certain young and enthusiastic church worker, whose duties lay below, was asked. "Oh, they have rich teachers up there," was the reply, but her tone was a little wistful. "What income must a child's parents have before it can be admitted to the room upstairs?" This was not ascertained.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.

Last British Whaling Port. Dundee is the only port in the British isles that owns whaleships. Toward the end of the century before last nearly all the east-coast ports had whalers of their own. London had thirty-four ships. The falling off of the industry is due chiefly to the scarcity of "right" whales; but the turning point of the decay was taken when coal gas was discovered and there was a fall in the importance of oils as illuminants. But each season Dundee sends her whaling fleet to the Arctic. So few are "right" whales within the circle now that the Dundee experts know them all, it is said. Wags aver that the Dundee harpooners have names for each one of them. Declined With Thanks. A keeper was cleaning the hyenas' cage at Hall by the Sea, England. One of the animals improved the opportunity to turn upon the man in an ugly mood. The keeper promptly defended himself, and, to teach the animal manners, gave it a drubbing until it slunk into a corner. One of the spectators, a dear old lady, then remonstrated with the keeper and thought he had acted cruelly. The man stepped out of the cage, and, advancing to the lady, said: "P'raps, mum, you'd like to come inside and manage him!" The invitation was not accepted.

The agitation over franchises has taken on the acute stage in which demagogues strive to drive people from hysteria to hysteria. The granting of special privileges is a business proposition and should be considered dispassionately. The attempt to make political capital out of the coming election can therefore come from no good motive and there is good reason to question the sincerity and truthfulness of agitators. In nothing is this truer than in the franchise which is being asked for by the Denver Gas and Electric Company. This company is one in which our opportunities for labor have been improving with each succeeding year. From one colored employee seven years ago it now has five, and the evident good will of the management makes its franchise one in which colored people have a sentimental interest in addition to the financial benefit that will come. Nor are all these persons employed in the one kind of position usually given us. At least two of them are in places from which advancement is possible and for one this happy change has already come. Apart from the utter loss of such places as we have won through sheer merit under private ownership of the lighting system, the hundreds of colored people who are buying homes by installments will rue the day when in order to carry out the opposition idea, bonds are floated and taxes increased. Municipal ownership is not an end, but only a means to an end, and the thoughtful voter will go over the provisions of the franchise that is asked, to see in what way his condition would be bettered under public ownership. The only consideration in a lighting franchise is that the people get good service cheap. In contrast to the fanciful and vague promises of municipal ownership, the Denver Gas and Electric Company provides in its franchise under bond that gas shall be $1.00 per thousand feet for any purpose, a cut of 35 cents over the existing rate for lighting with an even greater reduction in the price of electric service. These are facts. Nor are these benefits put off to an indefinite day, but are guaranteed for fulfillment immediately after election. In addition to this, the company offers a cash payment to the city which amounts to a reduction of taxes upon each and every citizen of six per cent. This is one of the best ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. features of the franchise and should clinch the argument for the good intentions of the company. There are reductions on special items, such as street lamps, which will permit of a better lighted city. There is a reduction on lights in the parks. The growth of the Denver Gas and Electric Company has been coincident with the growth of the city. No public corporation has done more to make the greatness of the city and deserves better of the citizens. It has made voluntary reductions in its rates before, and of this The Statesman can serve as a witness, for from $4.50 per month our bill is now less than $2.00 with greater service received. This goes far to show that the offer of the company at this time is in line with its policy of small profits on a large number of consumers. What has the opposition to offer? What guarantee is there that municipal ownership will produce dollar gas? The expense of operating the city government has grown enormously in the past ten years. Political machinery may be more honest in the management of a gas company than in the other departments of city government, but it has not proven so conclusively in American cities. It does not appeal to common sense that we should go chasing the cheap rates along paths untried when they are offered us under a guarantee. It does not appeal to good judgment that we should further enhance the financial value of political mastery, by operating a lighting company, when the present departments of city government are so prolific in boss rule. This last consideration is one of the greatest for our people to think over, for the rule of the boss in cities has always worked special hardships upon us. We are outside the pale of employment. If you doubt it, compare the number of places we fill in the Denver Gas and Electric Company under private ownership with those we have under the city administration. Both are typical of their class. The removal of the franchise for lighting out of the political arena will give us a chance to compete. Capital has always proven fairer and less prejudiced than the common herd which constitutes the body politic. What may mean an opportunity for the poor white surely will be our undoing if the past is any criterion for the future. It is a weakness of the unthinking that any change will work out for good, but it will be a task for even the Our Important Annual Spring Sale of Glassware BASEMENT SALESROOM.

THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. most fanatical municipal ownership advocate to set up a rebuttal to the increasing reductions guaranteed under the proposed franchise. In eight years gas now promised at $1.00 will be sold for 75 cents per thousand feet, the decrease being made gradually through that period. It seems a pity that a business proposition should be distorted into politics. This unfairness reminds us of the lily-white agitation by which Gorman and his stripe of politicians maintain their hold upon the southern states. A boogy man is a dreadful thing in the hands of a conscienceless man and demagogue. So with the franchise. The question is not whether municipal ownership is right, but is it expedient? Not whether it means the success of a favorite political party, but does it insure the cheapest gas? Don't be led astray. Put your most serious thought into the matter. Taxes are paid in dollars. Employment is the one thing most desired by Negroes. In addition to the general benefits to be derived from the franchise, consider how far superior our chance for work is under the present system than when poor whites have the disposition of places in the city-owned lighting plant. The fire boys of engine No. 3 have been showered with praises for their grand work in the fires last Sunday morning.
