Circulation 1600----Guaranteed three times that of any competitor Press Bureau Notes VOL. XVIII Press No The colored people of the country have been waiting anxiously for the message of the president of the United States; and on last Tuesday it was presented to Congress. It was a wonderful message, but will scarcely meet the approbation of the colored people of the United States. The section of the message which dealt with the colored man specifically discussed education and crime. It pointed out that all colored people must become self-appointed policemen for the purpose of detecting and delivering up al. colored people charged with crime. This would necessitate the establishment of a Police Bureau of national scope, and since all colored people must be members of the force, the bureau will need a chief. It is not just clear to us how this chief will be appointed, and it would seem that such policemen as are contemplated in this message would be in slight danger of assault by the criminal. An arrest made by one without authority would be an assault and battery and the person so arrested or rather assaulted would have the right under the laws of our country to defend himself, giving such resistance as the case would require, even resistance to the death. We speak of this matter in this manner for the reason that we owe a duty to the race to apprise them of the truth and warn them that to follow out the advice of the message of the president would be an unlawful and dangerous procedure. But the thing in this message that hurts is the imputation that all colored people know the criminals of the race and are responsible to the country for their conduct. We regret that the president accepted this advice from those who try to shape the --- destiny of the colored people: It is fundamentally wrong. A criminal is one who has been found guilty of crime. This is true of the black man and true of the white man. Crime is crime, and all criminals are enemies to society, the black no more than the white. Crime is colorless and it is to be regretted that the president of all the people has used such language in his message as to indicate to the country and the world that he thinks crime committed by a colored man is different from that committed by a white man. But, perhaps he has been the victim of the advice of a traitorous Negro. On the question of education the president has been equally as unfortunate as upon the question of crime. He advises the "race as a whole to get such education as is given at Hampton and Tuskegee." Why Hampton and Tuskegee? Can it be that the American Missionary Society, the noble men and women of the North and of the South who have done so much for the colored people along lines of education, not purely industrial, have gone wrong in all their works? Have the millions of money spent on education been spent in vain? This has been answered with ten million NOES. And the only man who directly insists that the work in this behalf has failed is James K. Vardaman of Mississippi. No, the word education, from the time of Plato and Socrates, has meant and means the leading out of the mental, moral and spiritual faculties of man. If you admit that man has faculties, you admit his right to education. And education has no color. It operates upon faculties; it develops humanity; it is human training it teaches and gives. Surely there are places outside Hampton and Tuskegee in which human training can be acquired. We know of no black education; all education lifts man, gives him a consciousness of the higher duty which he owes to himself and society. It teaches equality of man; that man is a soul; that soul is immortal; that it is definable only on the ground laid down by Jesus Christ; that in the realm of soul there is no color, no creed, but those things, and only those things which make the foundation of our country secure. The colored people will not be changed in their attitude by this presidential pronunciation. They, by their labor and sacrifices, are the taxpayers of this southland and they have a right to participate in government, to be given an equal chance in the race of life. This is hard for the white man of the South to admit, but he knows it is true and just. And some day, in this country, which is now the scene of so much injustice and wrong to the colored people, justice will be the criterion which directs the actions of men. The message just sent to Congress will not change the current of events. The Young Women's Christian Association gave a Pink Tea and Reception on Friday night of last week. The reception was arranged and managed by Miss Eula L. Ross, a woman of lofty Christian ideals and broad usefulness in our community, and the abundant success which resulted from her efforts in this reception but serve to attest to her strength and efficiency. The reception was largely attended by a representative number of Washington's elite. As we predicted last week, Senator of Ohio is leading the fight in the senate in behalf of the soldiers which were recently discharged from the 25th regiment of the army. He very wisely takes the position that it is not a race issue, but a constitutional question, involving the very being of republican government as understood and maintained in the United States of America. The day upon which Congress convened he presented a resolution which went to the bottom NO. 22 of the wrong done the soldiers of the 25th regiment. Senator Foraker denies that he is pleading the cause of the Negro, as such, but asserts that he is demanding justice for the men who have been wronged, the observance of the constitution and laws of our common country and the maintenance of right. The New York Age is very radical in its criticism of the message of the president of the United States, and makes a great argument in defense of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Ah, God! does not Fortune remember the speeches of this man whom he now defends. Does Fortune not remember the compromise of Atlanta in 1895, the compromise of Richmond in 1899 and the compromise of Atlanta in 1906? Have we all forgotten the long struggle of twenty years and more of this man to win the favor of the South? Nobody knows better than Mr. Fortune that to win the ruling element of the South, every right must be given up by the black man who must win. Two things were demanded and two things have been taught by Dr. Washington: political effacement and racial inferiority. On the strength of this philosophy Dr. Washington has become famous. But the tide is turning. Nine-tenths of the colored people of this country have renounced the philosophy of Dr. Washington and the tide cannot be stopped; for it flows from the fountain of eternal truth. The State's Rights propagandists are yelling loudly about the treatment accorded the Japanese by the president in his message. But Japan has power, commercial and military. Japan is soon to be the controlling power in the trade of the East. Under the impetus of Japan, China has awakened and the future life of these peoples will exercise such an influence upon the world that white supremacy will vanish from the earth; Africa will rise up and drink in the modern civilization; race prejudice and greed will die of their own wrong and rottenness, and mankind will love its own; a common humanity will dictate the policy of the future, and we will have but one race; the human race, following in the paths of justice (Continued on Editorial page) THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

CIGARS AND TOBACCO FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmonious, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continuously since about 1884, and label "OZONIZED OX MARROW" was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1884. In all that long period of time there has never been a bottle returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. FORD'S HAIR POMADE remains sweet and effective, no matter how long you keep it. Be sure to get Ford's, as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. Remember that Ford's, Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put up only in 50 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford Press, on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 50 cte. Sold by drugstores and dealers.

Carpenters' Hall was filled Wednesday night with dancers who assembled in response to the general invitation of the St. Benedict's Society. Harris' orchestra played. The sixteen members entertained and the guests had an evening of rare enjoyment. This is the first public appearance of the society and it has made a hit. The Catholic ladies and gentlemen will have a warm spot in the hearts of the public for future events. Persistent catering to the public deserves reward. The Mecca Cafe is receiving returns from the painstaking care that it has bestowed on its patrons for years. With the opening of its new department, it has accommodations right at hand for those who use the reception hall. This hall now that the floor has become smoothed with use, with its vari-colored lights and orchestra stand, is a dream. It has been asked for by private parties among the whites and is freely called the finest thing in Denver of its kind. Private dining rooms in the annex made accommodations better than ever before and the crowd that throngs the place Mondays and Thursdays thoroughly appreciate this fact. Stephen Koontz is able to get about again. J. D. Rivers leaves today for an extensive visit along the Atlantic coast. Aaron Terry is getting better from pneumonia. Arthur Newsom is taking a layoff. The feature of the Eureka Literary Christmas night is that every member of the society will receive a present off the tree. Step by step the race is advancing.

The school board of Cleveland refused to allow the pitchfork statesman to speak in one of the city buildings. The press and opinion of the country disregarded the color of the men and united with ns in demanding a square deal for the soldiers who were discharged by the president, and congress is even now busy on the proposition. In short, opportunity is at hand and we need only take hold to advance. A new business venture is the Porters' Shining Parlor, which is being conducted at 1220 Nineteenth street, by Will Taylor. It is neat and has good servitors. In this connection we are glad to thank Mr. Taylor for his thoughtfulness of this office in soliciting for us from a firm of carpenters who were doing some outfitting for him, their printing. Such an act is indicative of the highest type of race loyalty and, apart from our personal interest in his success, we feel safe in saying that a man who is possessed of this characteristic as he is, will succeed. Henry's Coffee House is just opened at 1012 Nineteenth street with Mr. and Mrs. Henry in charge. It is already doing a good business. It makes a specialty of lunches and is open early and late.

Wall Now Entirely Underground Be- lieved by Many to Mark Boundaries of Prehistoric Fortress—fclentists Hold Different Opinion. Near Rockwall is one of the most curious formations {n Texas. This town and county were named after it and many contend that in spite of the epinion of scientists to the contrary the formation of the product of the toll of a prehistoric race of people. » The rock wall, as it is known, ex tends along three sides of the town, but generally at some distance from it, although to the south it is to be found within 200 or 300 yards of the corporation line. No one seems to know just how long it is, but traces of it have been discovered across the river in Dallas county Geologists say that tbe wall owes fis origin to a volcanic upheaval. It is composed of stones which are three or fcur inches in width, two or three inches thick and from six to elghteen inches In length. They are piled on top of one another, just like brick, and with the same regularity. All of it fs underground. At some places it comes to within ten feet of the surface of the earth. In others one will have to dig down to twice that depth before its top is touched. In the localities where it is nearest the surface plowshares have turned over many of the stones and some of the fields are plentifully besprinkled with {hem. Wells have been dug down by the side of the wall for a distance of fully fifty feet, but it extends down beyond that depth. The stones are of a light yellow color end evidently have mica in them. There are some streaks, too, which closely resemble whit) marble. The substance is very hard, and when exposed to the elements dows not de terlorate. This is attested by pieces which have been left exposed for more than a generation. Another curious thing about 7 ts that there is no other stone in the county which {s just Ike {t. Rock- wall county bas some fine building stone, but it is of an entirely different kind, It resembles more nearly than anything else the bricks which are manufactured from the clay found in this section. Many believe that this wall was built by prehistoric men as a. df- cation for a settlement which nce stood on this very spot. Asked to ex- plain why it is that the wall {s now underground, they call attention to the belief of geologists that once the Red river found its way to the sea down through this valley and that it was miles in width. This black dirt, the theorists contend, is a mixture of alluvial deposit and clay, and these deposits, they say, covered up the wall —Galvreston Nowe World's Fair Exhibits. The combined value of the exhibits in the ten principal exhibit palaces of the World’s Fair has been estimated by E. S. Hoch, assistant to Director of Exhibits Skiff, at $72,500,000.

On one occa tion he had just finished tearing his opponent's argument to tatters when the court room stovepipe fell with a crash, “There,” cried the colonel, as the clouds of soot arose, “there is a sim: ilie furnished by nature herself! Just as that stovepipe las come unjointed and fallen useless to the ground, ao my adversary’s argument has fallen with as loud a crash. Ote is not more hollow than the other, or more in need of polish. “And, gentlemen of the jury, what do these clouds of root and smoke resemble—those black masses smut- ‘ing all they light upon—what do they resemble more than the malicious It- hels and black scandals which my adversary has poured into your ears, and with which he has endeavored to blacken the character of my client?” His case had seemed hopeless, but when he had finished the stovepipe comparison the jury was converted, and returned what became famous In ‘western Tennessee as the “stove pipe verdict,” in favor of the colonel’s sitent—Montreal Herald. Writer Jests With Lawyers. ~ Anthony Hope Hawkins_at a recent Author's club dinner in London, at which Lord Chief Justice Mathew was the principal guest, described the rela- tion between law and letters as a “dumping” relation—failing at law, a man generally going over to literature. Nor is the legal training wholly lost on writers, according to Mr. Hawkins, since through it they sometimes gal a certain “nebulousness, which is con- eigero] a park of great profundity.” Derivation of “Sloyd.” “Sloyd” is a somewhat crudely nade derivative of the Swedish word *Slojd,” meaning mechanical art, manufacturing, work {n wood. Two Notables Here A.M.A. represented here this week by teacher and philanthropist Sunday was a notable day for the race in Denver. First of all was the opportunity of hearing Mrs. Steele of the Steele Orphan Home of Tennessee. Mrs. Steele is a Massachusetts woman, the daughter of a New England railroad president, who was one of that devoted band of white women who went South and by their sacrifices, some by the giving up of their lives for the enlightenment of the freedmen, poured out on oblation of love that brightens the pages of the dark history of the reconstruction. To hear this noble woman is all that one can do, except it be to help her with her work. The fruit of the education, of the morality and the example of thrift and industry which she has tried to teach, will be seen in generations yet unborn and no mere words can tell the story of her achievement. She must be heard. It should shame all of us who are the benefactors of her endeavor, that we do not equal her in altruistic works. No less interested is the race in the educator who is at the head of one of our foremost institutions in the South. Dr. Merrill, who is at the head of Fiske Univsreity at Nashville was in the city Sunday and Monday. He addressed the People's Sunday Alliance Sunday. His work made his talk forceful. The growth of his school from the day when it was endangered at all times by race proscription and class distinction to now, when it is considered an honor to the community, has been brought about in no small degree by the Christian help of whites, and his visit is an augury of the day when men shall not be known by their color but by their works. He was the guest of honor at a dinner given Sunday afternoon by Dr. Westbrook. There Is None Finer. The event of the season will be the annual entertainment of the Masons at East Turner Hall, under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1, A. F. & A. M. It promises to be the grandest of the season. The record of this lodge is your guarantee of a good time. For years the crowd that attends has been record-breaking and this year, with a dozen valuable prizes to be given away, and numerous momentoes, it will be better than ever. Harris' famous orchestra has special music that will be played for the first time that evening. The date is Thursday of Christmas week. The Annual Christmas Entertainment of the Inter-Graduate Associa- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. tion of Denver, Colorado, will be given at Shorter's A. M. E. Church, December 20, 1906. A rare treat in a literary and musical program will greet you . All are cordially invited to attend. The following persons will take part in the program: The Denver Quartet, Lawyer J. H. Stuart, Prof. L. L. McGruder, Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, Mrs. W. W. S. Dyett, Mrs. Katie Turley, Mrs. Mary Byrd, Mrs. Maude Savage, Mrs. Esther Morris, Mrs. L. Froman, Misses Mary Belle Price, Mabel Andrews, Mr. Roy Handy and Mr. A. G. Fallings. ____. The Resemblance. Sir Leslie Stephen did not often make witticisms, and those he did make were usually of the unpremeditated kind. Once a young Scottish author was introduced to him. "How you remind me of R." said Sir Leslie, mentioning the name of a world famous philosopher, recently deceased. The young Scot was enchanted. "Yes," went on Sir Leslie dreamily. "R. was the ugliest man I ever knew.—New York Times. An Unmanageable Intellect. I'm feeling right ashamed about The way my mind will act; I've been unable to make out The reason quite exact. I know that life's a serious thing. And that it isn't right To sit this way a-wondering How soon the fish will bite. I ought to be a-figuring on The Asiatic war. And finding where the things have gone That folks pay taxes for. I ought to talk of destiny. And yet, both day and night. The pressing question seems to be, How soon the fish will bite? —Washington Star. Secures Absolution. "A local gentleman" of Kilmarnock admitted to the provost of that town the other day that he was the author of the bogus letter regarding the gift to Kilmarnock of a Burns temple, at a cost of £500,000 from Andrew Carnegie. He gave the provost $250 for the local hospital, and the incident was officially closed. Fireproof Passenger Coaches. Taking warning by the terrible accident in the Paris underground road, the interborough company of New York is building for use in the new subway a large number of steel cars intended to be absolutely fireproof, constructed entirely of metal, transite board and asbestos. Land Under Irrigation. The census bureau estimates that approximately 9,200,000 acres were under irrigation in July of last year. This is an increase since the irrigation season of 1899 as reported in the census of 1900 of 1,660,455 acres. TAKE THAT TRIP! City Ticket Office, 17th & California Streets. C. H. Speers, G.P.A., Denver The image shows two silhouettes of human heads facing each other. The left silhouette appears to have a more pronounced forehead and a slightly more defined chin, while the right silhouette has a more rounded forehead and a more pronounced chin. The background is a textured surface with a pattern of light and dark areas, possibly indicating a wall or a paper. COLORADO MIDLAND Midland Route RAILWAY V. Mrs. T. D. Perkins' treatment for growing and beautifying the hair is indeed wonderful. Those under her treatment are loud in their praise of her work. Because of the rapid increase in her Denver class she will not be able to give personal treatments out of Denver after Feb. 1, but will give treatment by mail anywhere in the West or South. She will not limit the class here in this city until she finds she cannot handle more, though she fears the time is not far off. Mrs. Perkins left the city this week to spend ten days in Colorado Springs with her class there. She will make only one more trip there, as Denver will take all her time, her class here numbering 85, and Colorado Springs having nearly 60. She has proved to the people that she is doing for others what she did for herself. Her own hair is her best advertisement, showing what she can do. You need not wonder if it is true, for she has the proof. Mrs. Perkins, being a Coloradoan and being well known all over the state, those who are trying her treatments have no fear as to the results. She is climbing step by step. She has already put in three years of hard work studying the treatment of the hair and scalp and she has yet two years of study and then she will --- know all there is to be known about the scalp and hair. She has taken her entire course from a company of German hair specialists and is the only Negro woman that they have ever taught the art. Because of her aptness and earnestness to learn and her careful following of their instructions they will give her a three months' course in hair dressing free of charge. She has her choice of schools, either at New York city, Philadelphia or St. Catherines, Canada. This she will take up later on and her choice of place is New York city. Mrs. Perkins is very fond of her work and is much at home when talking on the subject of hair. It is surprising to find out how much she has learned of the hair. Her chart is a wonderful study. It shows a highly magnified suture of skin from a healthy scalp cut through in such a way as to show the hair follicle with the hair in place, also the oil and sweat glands. Mrs. Perkins will tell you the operation of the growth of the hair is to a degree mechanical and is similar to the growth of a finger nail and just as when the latter is detached the function continues and a new is produced, so with the former.

It has been less than twenty years since we had not a single steel vessel in the navy and no means of constructing them. At the present time not only are our private yards prepared to undertake the construction of the greatest battleships, but one of the navy yards is being put in readiness to commence work on a 16,000-ton ship. What greater progress than this could be hoped for?—New Orleans Picayune. A Hogsules Found. At Boscorea, a small village near Pompeii, excavators have discovered a magnificent bronze statue of Hercules reposing, seated on a rock, with his club on his shoulder. The work is in a good state of preservation, and is similar in style to the famous Farnese Hercules in the Vatican in Rome. The director of the museum at Naples is superintending the transportation of the statue. Polar Explorer Handicapped Polar Explorers Handicapped. The trouble about making a dash to the pole is that the explorer knows he must retrace every step of his laborious progress before he can be safe again. He may find that he has sufficient strength to push on to the pole by heroic efforts, but he must use that strength in getting back to his nearest depot of supplies. Waiter's Tip Half a Dollar Bill. To a man giving a dinner in i Times Square restaurant the other night the waiter was not as prompt as he might have been about the initial course.

An educated chimpanzee that died in England recently was insured for $125,000. Other notable entertainers are heavily insured also. Mme. Patti was one of the originators of this kind of insurance. Her voice—the most intangible of subjects—is insured for $5,000, at a premium of $125 for each performance. Paderewskis hands are underwritten for $50,000 and for each of his concerts a temporary policy of $7,500 is taken out. Josef Hofmann goes even farther and sets a price of $500 on each finger of both hands. As a precaution against accident preventing his performance, Kubelik's right hand is insured for $10,000 for each concert and for $50,000 against total disablement. Fence Sixty-three Miles Long. One of the longest fences in the northwest is being constructed around the Lower Brule Indian reservation, on the Missouri river, in the central portion of South Dakota. This remarkable fence will be sixty-three miles long. It is composed of four wires placed on posts set a rod apart, cedar and ash posts alternating. In its construction 250 miles of wire will be used, or 76,000 pounds. To erect the fence required an aggregate of 19,000 posts. In this long fence there will be only three gateways, which will be guarded when the fence is completed. Salmon Are Scarce. On account of the depressed condition of the salmon market, many companies in Alaska will not be operate this year. Other packing companies will go farther north, where they will catch less pink and get more red salmon. Reds are now selling at $1.25 on the coast, while pinks are very low, the minimum quotations being 50 cents. This is below the cost of production and there is no profit for those companies the bulk of whose packs are pinks. The cause of the unfavorable condition of the market is overproduction primarily.

An Effervescent Maharajah On the first consignment of seldits powders to the Maharajah of Singur that monarch was deeply interested in the accounts of the refreshing box. A box was brought to the potentate in full court, and the interpreter explained to his majesty how it should be used. Into a goblet he put the twelve blue papers, and, having added water, the king drank it off. This was the alkali, and the Royal countenance expressed no sign of satisfaction. It was then explained that in the combination of the two powders lay the luxury, and the twelve white powders were quickly dissolved in water, and as eagerly swallowed by his majesty. With a shriek that will be remembered while Singpur lasts the monarch rose, stared, exploded, and, in his full agonies, screamed: "Hold me down!" Then, rushing from the throne, fell prostrate on the floor. There he lay during the long-continued effervescence of the compound, groaning as surely monarch never groaned before, and believing himself in the agonies of death—a melancholy and humiliating proof that bings are mortal. Life's "Scarecrows." Once on a time a farmer made A scarecrow, fierce and high; A sparrow, lighting near it, said, "It looks so cozy, I Believe it is the very best Of nooks wherein to build a nest." And so he went to work, and soon A pretty home had made. And by and by his charming mate Four cunning eggs had laid; And from that happy nest one day Six gleeful birds flew far away. But, ere they went, the old bird said, "My children, all through life Remember what you think of this Or that brings peace or strife; And even scarecrows joy may bring If one knows how to view a thing. —Nixon Waterman, in Woman's Home Communion. ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. WEAPON HELD IN GENERAL ESTEEM AND REVERENCE. Authentic Blades of Famous Makers Still Highly Prized—How the Product of One Swordsmith Obtained a Bad Reputation. Until the year 1608 there was no law existing in Japan with regard to the wearing of swords. Any one might carry as many as he chose. During the Tokugawa regime, however, a law was promulgated which allowed only the nobles, the fighting men or samurai, the artists or painters and the swordsmiths to carry swords. This law remained in force until 1877, when an edict was issued forbidding any one to wear swords in public. This created discontent among those whose privilege it was to carry them, whereupon the government proclaimed another edict, allowing any one to wear as many swords as he pleased. This removed the cherished distinction attached to the wearer of a sword, and no one cared to do what was permitted to all. Although wearing swords has entirely ceased for twenty years in Japan, the old esteem and reverence for the weapon and its use still exist among the gentlemen of the country, and many of the nobility have at their houses regular establishments where fencing is practiced. In the past there were certain famous swordmakers in Japan and authentic blades of their workmanship are highly prized. One old-time swordmaker has a singular reputation. This is Muramassa, who was a pupil of the great Masamune, second in fame of all Japanese swordsmiths. He was widely known and undoubtedly made swords which were excellent weapons, but he was a man of violent temper, and his swords were thought exceedingly dangerous. It was supposed that once withdrawn from the sheath they always shed blood before being returned. They were regarded as being particularly unlucky, so far as the Tokugawa family of Japanese rulers was concerned. The father and grandfather of Iyeyasu, the first shogun of the family, were both attacked by men carrying Muramasa swords. Iyeyasu therefore issued an edict forbidding any one to carry them. It was in this way that they acquired their bad reputation. Muramasa once challenged Masamune to a trial of their respective swords. Masamune consented, and the sword blades were placed in a running stream of water, with their edges turned against the current. All the leaves, twigs and rubbish which flowed down stream ran into Muramasa's sword and were severed, while they carefully avoided coming into contact with Masamune's blade. "Ah," said Masamune, "that demonstrates very well the difference between our swords; yours is bloodthirsty and cuts everything which comes near it, while mine avoids doing unnecessary damage." Typical Southern Congressman. With his wide hat, coat of ample skirt and commanding figure, Representative Claude Kitchin of North Carolina is accounted at Washington a fine type of southern congressman. He bears a resemblance to Senator Bailey of Texas sufficiently strong so that a senate doorkeeper recently mistook him for the Texan.

"It is a gift from a convict whom I pardoned," said Mr. Dockery in answer to a question. "The man had served seventeen years and I thought that was long enough. He promised to behave himself and he is keeping his word." On, mother," he cried, "I'm afraid. I've been good, so good. Don't let them put me in the little white box." His mother tried to comfort him, but the white box was a very palpable terror, and he could not get away from it. Three days later a crowd of people came to the tailor's house. They were dressed in black and came in carriages. The tailor's little boy was there, but he did not see them. He had gone into the little white box.

Henry R. Edmuds, president of the Philadelphia board of education, says half the public school pupils of that city are suffering from illls brought on by overstudy. The principal evils resulting, he says, are nervous affections and defective eyesight, both largely traceable to excessive home study and the crowding of too many branches into the elementary grades. He champions the abolition of afternoon classes and the wiping out of all home study. 2 Social Relations. COLORADO'S GREATEST RACE PAPER News from all parts of the West.

Pope. The facts are as follows: Miss Pope purchased a first-class passenger ticket over the S. Railway from Washington to Pannoian Springs, Va., and when the train passed from the District of Colum- bia into Virginia, the conductor came to Miss Jope and before taking her ticket asked her if she was a mem- ber of the colored race. She offered him her ticket, refusing to answer his question. He then told her that she would have to vacate her seat and go forward into a separate car set apart by the laws of the state of Vir- ginia for colored people. This Miss Pope refused to do. The conductor stopped his train at Falls Church, summoned a marshall, had Miss Pope arrested and removed from the train, where the case was heard and Miss Pope was fined ten dollars and costs. On August 17 Miss Pope appeared with counsel at the request of the Niagara Movement Conference, then in Harpers Ferry, and offered Capt. Isaac F. Norman of Falls Church, Va., as bondsman. Present Status. The case was heard de novo, Octo ber 23. Since then a bill of excep. tions has been allowed and filed and writ of error issued. The appeal will be for hearing at the January, 1907, term of the appellate court at Rich- mond, Va.
