POPULAR PASTOR TO LEAVE CITY Rev. J. E. Ford Pastor Zion Baptist Church Resigns Pastorate-- Other Local News VOL. XVIII POPULAR TO L Rev. J. E. Ford Pa Church Resig Other Loc On December 2, 1906, Rev. J. E. Ford resigned the pastorate of Zion Baptist Church, after seven years of successful work. Rev. Ford's resignation was finally accepted after all of the influence possible had been brought to bear by the deacons, trustees, other members of the church and the citizens at large to have him reconsider his action. Rev. Ford was called to Zion Baptist Church seven years ago. He has been a successful pastor and much good has been accomplished under his administration. When he came to Zion we had about two hundred members, and now we have five hundred and twenty-five enrolled. Our congregation has increased to such an extent that there is an urgent necessity for a new church. Our finances have been kept up well, and the church is out of debt with the exception of what she owes on the last three lots purchased. When the Rev. Ford came to us we had a debt and floating obligations amounting to several hundred dollars; we owned two lots and the church building, valued at $12,000. Now those obligations have been cancelled and we own six lots, a church, house and three residence buildings, property valued at $40,000, with an indebtedness of about $6,000. We keenly regret that Rev. Ford has seen fit to sever his connection with the church at this time. Therefore be it resolved, That we, the members of Zlon Baptist Church, by these lines express our appreciation and endorsement of the work, the life, the character, the ability and the DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 25, 1907. Christian spirit of Rev. Ford. He has set an example among us as a preacher of the gospel and as a citizen in our community. He has worked in the church and out of the church, in season and out of season, for the uplifting of our people spiritually and financially. His wisdom and advice have been sought in all avenues of life. Be it further resolved, by the church, That it is with much regret that we part with Rev. Ford, and that we recommend him wherever he may go as a Christian gentleman and a man loyal to his race, his country and his God. J. W. JACKSON, W. A. JONES, M. D. PEARL J. PORTER, Committee. Adopted by the church Jan. 20. '07. FUNERAL OF CARPENTER The funeral of Ernest Carpenter was held Tuesday afternoon from the family residence on California street, Rev. John Turner officiating.

Mrs. Ernest Carpenter and daughter desire to thank the many friends who so kindly assisted them during the death of their beloved husband and father, and for their beautiful floral offerings. --- State Historian and ural History Special TATES RADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 25, 1907.

Downing Tells It Is Not First Time Colored People Dined There—His Father Served Revels, Eliot, Crummel and tOthers. Washington, D. C., Jan. 14, 1907. Southerners are indignant today because for the first time in the memory of members of Congress Negroes have been served at the House of Representatives' restaurant. While several Southern men were dining in the portion reserved for members and their guest, a Negro, accompanied by a white woman, entered, took seats at an adjoining table and ordered food as coolly as though they had no idea of the precedents they were smashing. The Negro waiters served them with alacrity. Adamson of Georgia, Ransdell of Louisiana, Taylor of Alabama and a few other Southerners were dining in the same room. Son of George T. Downing Says Colored Men Ate There When Father Had Capitol Restaurant. Will you kindly allow me to correct an error in the news report from Washington as to a Colored man lunching with a white woman in the House restaurant in the Capitol at Washington, in which it is stated that it is the first time in the memory of members where it is known a Colored person has taken meals there. Weeks and Gardner There—Southerners Submitted. Representative Weeks of Massachusetts and Gardner of Michigan, at an adjoining table, waited to see what the Southern members would do. They did nothing. They continued to eat without starting a lynching bee. After they had returned to the Democratic cloakroom they decided to "cut out" dining in the House restaurant hereafter. "We are not in the habit of dining with Negroes," said one of them, "and we don't propose to do it now, even if it is permitted at the Capitol." "It is a good thing Senator Tillman --- --- To the Editor was not eating in there when that Colored man sat down," commented one of the Negro waiters after the restaurant episode had occurred, "because there would have been something doing." Downing Said Serve All and Report to Me Any Trouble Over It—Revels, Eliot, Crummell. My father, the late George T. Downing of Newport, R. I., had the restaurant for a number of years, and I can remember one day when his head waiter came to him in somewhat of a nervous way and said: "Mr. Downing, there are some Colored people in the ladies' dining room. What shall I do?" My father said: "Serve them, and if any one makes complaint come to me." From that time and during all the years my father had the restaurant he served Colored people, among whom were ex-Senator Revels of Mississippi (the first United States Colored Senator), ex-Congressman Elliot of South Carolina, with his wife and daughter, the Rev. Alexander Crummell, and many more who were among his transient customers. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 17. The Tuskegee normal and industrial school of which Booker T. Washington is the principal, is threatened with an examination of its books by State Accountants in a bill presented to the legislature by Representative Thompson of the county in which the school is located. The bill is in response to a sentiment that the expenditures of the school be made public in detail. For some time there has been a growing feeling against the school, resulting from the recent riots. Some openly say that if examination is not allowed the state support and sympathy will be withdrawn. However, the largest part of the state's substantial citizens favor aiding the school. Want Tax Exemption Withdrawn School Too Rich for the Crackers. Representative Thompson also has presented a bill to withdraw tax exemption privileges from the school lands. He says the holdings are becoming so large that to continue them free from taxes will greatly reduce the income of the county. NO.28 PHILIP B. DOWNING. 99 Inman st., Cambridge, Jan. 15.

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT Parmer Has Rescectiand Admiration Estate Where “Tennyson Was Bore COTTR E LL’S Within the last dozen years a won- derful change has come over the bust ness of farming in this country. The approbrium that once attached to the occupation of tilling the soil has giv- en way to a genuine respect and ad- miration for the farmers, who to-day live better in every way than a ma- jority of those who claim the sordid, gruelling cities as their homes. Most of the farmers nowadays have unmwort- gaged dwellings on profitable acres. Their sons and daughters go to col- leges and technical schools, where they learn how to return to the farms and get more out of the soil than their fathers were able to do. The cities do not offer the attraction to these young people they once held. 1+ is hard to understand why more of the complainers and those who say they can not earn enough to keep them- selves and their families in the cities do not go to the agricultural com- Munities, where they aie sure of an abundaace of food and good shelter, Appropriate To the Day. ~ tou can seldom catch an Irishman at loss for an answer when you try to have fun with him,” said Louis Ward of Detroit, at the Plankinton. “IT ‘ound out last St. Patrick’s day Just how quick Irish wit can be. “I was stopping at an hotel where there was an Irish waitress. One didn't have to be told that she was Irish, for the map of the Emerald isle was written all over her face. She bad a brogue that was a marvel and a temper which was the terror of all the guests at her table. “St. Patrick's day I came down to breakfast and made up my mind to have a little joke with our waitress. “Molly, bring me an _ orange, please.’ I asked as a starter, It wag 4 finisher too. The way it brought results was amazing. “With a look of withering scorn Molly stood perfectly still for at least a minute, while I could feel the cold chills which the fear of a scene in the breakfast room chased up my back. Finally, though, she smiled, more in pity than in mirth. ““Paith, Mr. Ward, you've forgot- tin’ th’ day I’m thinkin’, she said. ‘It’s an olive you meant to be orderin’, not an orange. And I'll have it here in a minute.’ “And I ate the olive for breakfast.” ~-Milwaukee Sentinel. Wynne’'s Foggy Weaiiier Joke.

Wynne was at the White House the other day, brilliant in a long English coat and a Bond street silk hat.

Lovers of Tennyson will be interest: ed to hear that the Somersby estate {s in the market. The center of at- traction there is, of course, says the Academy, the rectory, a picturesque, fambling structure with a dining room which externally resembles a chapel. The room in which the poet first saw the light overlooked the lawn and the church, perhaps “the God's house” of “The Two Voices,” where his father officiated, stands on a low hill oppo- site the house. The garden is full of associations of “In Memoriam,” but !t should be remembered that the trees are not as they were in Tennyson's time—“the towering sycamores” and “the poplars four” have gone and the whole place is a wilderness . A “gray old grange,” the reputed residence of “The Northern Farmer,” stands close to the rectory. A little way from Somersby is “the brook that swerves to left and right thro’ meadowy curves,” passing in its course three mills, one of which may have suggested certain points in the landscape of “The Miller's Daughter.” It is also the subject of the poem known as “The Brook.” On the same estate is a wooded dell, deep, wild and shady, which is called “Holywell Glen.” Here Tennyson wrote “Byron Is Dead.” It is not improbably “the dreadful hollow” which “grides and clangs its leafless ribs and iron horns” and should appeal to readers of “Maud.” Not too far away is Mable- thorpe, perhaps “the lover’s bay” men- tioned in “The Golden Supper” and the seaside resort where Tennyson for the first ie saw “the hollow ocean ridges roarin into cataracts.” - MRS.

Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn tells a story of how a cab- man of this elty once refused to ac cept pay for his services. Dr. Cah man had been calling on Bishop Pot ter. After arriving at the ferry on his way home he tendered the usual fee to the man who had driven him down. The man declined to take it, and a beautiful smile lit up his tanned feat- ures. “I'd like to know why you won't take this money,” said the clergyman, “T'll tell you,” came the answer. “I once heard you preach in the Metro politan Temple, and at the close of the service you laid your hand on my ehoulder and sald to me, ‘For God's sake be a man,’ I had been a drunken sot for years, but that set me right about face. I now own ‘his horse and carriage, live with my wife and children in a snug little flat, and have $1,500 in the bank.

ONION6 CURE FOR RABIES. Fourth Annual Sioken MOKE Victim Bit Into the Tearful Buib and Slowly Recovered. A resident and business man of New York told me yesterday: “In one of our growing western towns which I occasionally visit I knew a young man | who was engaged to marry a beautiful girl. He was suddenly seized with an insane desire to injure her. She called |for her father and brother and the latter ran for the family physician, ‘who, upon his arrival, ordered a glass of water to be brought. At sight of ‘At the young man frothed at the mouth, exhibiting all the symptoms of rabies. He was taken to the attic and fastened with a chain around his body to a ring fn the floor. “One day, after many weary weeks of watching, a favorable change was noticed. ‘How do you feel?’ asked the doctor. ‘Oh, I'm much better,’ was the reply, ‘but you didn’t cure me, doctor. It was that pile of onions in the corner. See! Every time I felt a crazy desire to bite anybody I would bury my teeth in one of the onions and they have gradually drawn out all the poison. I am entirely well.’ Upon examination an onion was found which had turned green with the poison, perhaps the first one bitten. The physician frankly acknowledged that the onion had saved the patient's life.” A veteran of the civil war says: “A soldier was stricken with smallpox and unknown to the physicians a bunch of onions was hanging in his tent. We expected him to die, but he suddenly got better and in a short time was entirely recovered. A few days after he got out the onions were taken down and they were found to be mushy, which the doctor sald was caused by their drawing the smallpox out of the patient. As they were fnoculated with the disease they wére destroyed.”—New Vork Press. TO BE GIVEN BY THE B.L. I. P. U.of A.

Sg oe eee, ee ae, a A young Brockton physician tells the following about himself: Upon his graduation from Brown university he went home to the west- @rn part of the state for a few days, and on the street met a young French- man, one of his comrades of the Span- ish war. This conversation ensued: “Hello, Fred; I hear you got through down at Brownse’s.” “Yes, I finished there Wednesday.” “Well, what you going to do now?” “I'm going to New York to study medicine.” “Hub! You going to be €octor. How long dat take?” “I'll have to study four years, any- way.” “Four years! Gee! Didn't you graduate from the high school here?” “Yes.” “And didn't you go four years at Brownse's?” “Sure thing.” “And now you mean to tell me you got to study four years more to be a doctor?” “I certainly have; and after that there will be two years in a hospital.” “Well, my God! you must be tick- headed.”—Boston Herald. r s Ea oe ’ ye " a ; ie ia e i ie 7.

Three college men who had cele brated a victory not wisely but too well were returning home after the joliification when one of the trio held up the procession in front of a house that appeared familiar. After a whis- pered consultation the three roused the whole neighborhood by pounding vigorously on the door of the dwell- ing before which they had halted.

Some familiar words illustrate that confusion between article and substantive which has given the English language "a newt" for "an ewt." "A nickname" represents "an ekename," an additional name; and "a nugget," or "niggot," as it used to be written, was once "a ningot," a wrong version of "an ingot." Similarly the phrase "for the nonce" was originally "for then once"—for that one time, "then" being the dative case of "that." On the other hand, "an adder" and "an orange" were "a nadder" and "a norange" originally. "An apron," also, has come from "a napron" (connected with "napery"), and "an umpire" is really "a numpire"—a "non-peer," a not equal or odd man, the odd man out who arbitrates. A Cure for Colds. Here is a sure cure for colds of any kind. It has been tested repeatedly, and has never failed, and as I used to catch cold, which resulted in a bad attack of bronchitis, I can speak from experience. In cases of pneumonia it will not fail to cure if taken in time. Make a ball of cotton batting about the size of a small marble, saturate it well with alcohol, then drop onto it six drops of chloroform; cover it lightly with a thin piece of thin cotton batting, hold to the mouth, and inhale the fumes, inflating the lungs well. It will open and expand every lung cell instantly.—Woman's Home Companion. Derivations Little Known. "Scandal" is one of the hardest worked words in the language. It is the same as "slander," and should have the same meaning of things spoken injurious to a person's reputation. Derived from Greek "skandalon," "slander" and "scandal" are good examples of doublets from classical sources. "Scandal" came, with the "new learning," direct from the Greek; "slander" by way of Norman French "esclandre." The same process has given "palsy" and "paralysis," "priest" and "presbyter," "alms" and "eleemosynary." Praying for Good Husbands. A picturesque ceremony takes place every year in Haute-Vienne. All the girls in the place on the day of St. Eutropius file in procession to St. Junien-les-Gombes to the cross which is erected near the church to the saint. Each girl hangs her left garter on the cross and prays that she may have a good husband, and then gives way to the next girl. The cross is so smothered in garters of different colors that at a distance it looks as though it were covered with flowers. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. CHANCE SETTLED TOWN'S NAME Toss of Coin Resulted in Selection of Portland. Frank W. Pettygrove of Seattle has the penny that named the city of Portland, Ore. On the toss of this coin depended the question whether the Willamette metropolis should be known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned "tails," and the town was named after Portland, Me., the former home of Mr. Pettygrove's father. A. L. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid out Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most important city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to be Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Lovejoy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. The younger Pettygrove still has the identical penny and would not take any amount of money for it. His father kept it for a pocket piece, and it has been handed down to the son, who bears his father's name. It is dated 1835, and is one of those large coins in vogue at that time, about the size of the quarter of the present day. Mr. Rockefeller Was Meek. While Mr. and Mrs. William Rockefeller and daughter were automobiling through England and Scotland recently they stopped at Harrogate, taking a suite of nine rooms at the hotel. The day after Mr. Rockefeller arrived he went to the barber shop in the hotel to be shaved, his mustache having been clipped into the semblance of a scrubbing brush. The barber proceeded to strop the razor and lather the oll magnate's face. At the same time, wishing to entertain his client, he remarked: "We have the wealthiest man in the world staying here." "Ah," said Mr. Rockefeller, "who is that?" "Rockefeller, sir, the great oil king." "But," said Mr. Rockefeller, "perhaps it is the rich man's brother, who is a very poor man. For instance, if your brothers were rich would it necessarily mean that you were?" "No," said the barber, "but in this case I do not know which Rockefeller it is. Anyway, I should not want anything more than to have the 'rocks' this man has." Mr. Rockefeller returned to his room, told his courier of the incident, and laughed heartily. All the smart people of the hotel were absurdly concerned in the doings of the Rockefellers. China Feared Dragone in Poultry. A superstition of China is thus described by a traveler: "For a long series of marches going through this country we could get no fowls, a great privation in this part of China where no meat is obtainable. We were told that some time before a fowl had scratched a man and he had died from the effects. A story got about that a dragon had got into the poultry and they were liable to cause death to their owners. Throughout all the neighboring districts al the poultry were slaughtered as the story spread and we had to pay fabulous sums when we came across any." ```markdown ``` The Ideal Drug Store, The Ideal Drug Store, 1863 Arapahoe Street.

When the Canadian Pacific railroad ran its first train through Maine there were a great many people on the border who had never seen a train of cars, and the first work train that came into one of the towns caused nearly all the people to turn out to see it. After they had gazed at the engine and cars for some time the train pulled on to a siding. The roadmaster came along on a railroad velocipede and stopped at the town crossing. An old lady who had been gazing in wonder at the engine and cars asked some one what on earth that thing was. Some one in the crowd told her it was a young engine. She looked at it steadily for a few minutes, and then said: "What in the world are we coming to! Is it a yearling or a 2-year-old?" » fa’ py ,G oe CE iis i » « — ELEN =k . esa a _ Offi Lo gi Cers i . pes Nights i fee rn ae Lee Lodges [ieee ae ‘ es ee Ne we @ a) z = eee — M. W. GRAND LODGE, A.

Tt will pot go into such a vexed ques them as the French theory with regard to the Imitation of the population; suffice {t here to say that it !s ground. ed, whether right or wrong, on a great and solemn sense of the respon sibility of parenthood No true, honest, honorable French man or Frenchwoman thinks !t just! flable to bring children into the world without having a fair certainty of these children having their chance o! a happy and prosperous life. For a Frenchman to leave a daugh ter, brought up in comfort and ever laxury, without means and the slave of destiny, would be a crime whict he would regard as almost the wors! @f ains. { have heard an Irishwoman whe bad lived nearly all her life in France say, 1n good-humored exaggeration that a Frenchman could be temptec to almost any crime to leave his daughter a proper dot—T. P.'s Week hy. Fashionable Women to Make Lace Lace making is to be a diversion of fashionable women in Washington this winter. Mrs. Roosevelt may be called. the pioneer of this movement, though the wife of the French ambas- sador, Mme. Jusserand, and several other women in the diplomatic corps have added to its popularity When Mrs. Roosevelt receives the women of the cabinet circle for the weekly bou doir conference she works on a plece of filmy lace while important affairs of the next social season are clscuss ed. Whenever the President's wire receives an !ntimate friend in tne sunny western alcove of the second corridor of the White House, which is her special preserve, she makes her lace, chats, stops long enough to tare & cup of tea and begins at ber ace again. THE “LAW OF SA..E.” Attitude of the Consumer Toward the Advertiser. A specialist who has made a study of the mental attitude of the consumer toward the advertiser formulates what he call the “law of sale” as fol- lows: “Attention, properly sustained, changes to interest; interest, proptt ly augmented, changes to desire, and desire, properly intensified, changes to resolve to buy.” Often the reader passes through all these mental stages in the perusal of a single advertise: ment; sometimes the cumulative power of a series of “ads” is neces: sary to bring him to the final attract: ing attention, arousing interest and intensifying desire is the newspaper, which covers a field no other medium can reach.—Philadelphia Record.

Greater Colorado is the watchword of the commercial organizations and the individual boosters all over the state. It is wonderful to consider the resources of the state and compare their possibilities with what has been actually accomplished. The great corporations of the country, alive to this, have poured money in a steady stream to develop, and now home capital is also alive and taking hold as never before to make this the premier state in the quality and variety of its industries, though it will not support as vast enterprises in particular lines as some other states. It is up to the colored citizens to be hangers on, or real workers. It is for them to be pointed out as parasites who seek to share the benefits that come from the labor of white citizens only, or themselves to take hold and do in proportion to their ability the work of empire building. We have stood idly by and seen the mineral wealth of the state developed; we have seen the agricultural land turned from a desert into a paradise, and had no share; and now, when the further development of these and the projecting of manufactories is to be accomplished, we owe it to our future to do our part. Captains of industry begin in the ranks and persevere until promotion makes them the leaders they are. We may have to begin far down, but either the Negro race is inherently inferior, as Tillman says, or we can establish ourselves the same as whites do. Let us wake up and begin now. Let us risk our labor and capital, the same as other Coloradoans do, and then we can demand and will receive the same treatment as is accorded them. Senator Patterson has been long known as a man who is big enough and fair enough to accord to men the rights and privileges due them, regardless of their color, and the recent speech he made in Congress only serves to give him a firmer hold on the gratitude and love of Colored people. ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature. Other contributors get economical and write their news on such small pieces of paper that they become lost among the larger sheets on which such matter is usually written. It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers. Don't cuss the editor. Just look and see if you are not at fault. On the Subject of Eating. Eating not a pleasant, not an elevating subject? No subject under the blue canopy, no subject to be found between the covers of the fattest encyclopaedia, is more worthy of the deepest and the highest and most sustained thoughts of man. And probably no other subject receives half the attention which is given to eating. Nothing has been more important in the progress of the race than the additions to the variety of man's food. In his primitive state, a mere clam eater, he was hardly superior to the beasts that perish. When he became a hunter, seeking the strong meats of wild game, he developed new qualities, expanded intellectually and gained in energy, enterprise and endurance. Then came the pastoral and agricultural age, with an acquired taste for vegetation. Every advance has been on the heels of something new to eat. To-day the teeth of man declare him to be omnivorous, though vegetable food is still a heavy tax on his powers of digestion. He lacks those multiple gastric arrangements by the aid of which the cow, for example, is able to subsist on vegetable food alone. This lack Senor Santos will discover and deplore long before he shall acquire that meditative cud, the mastication of which gives to the cow the serenity and repose which is the object of the Spanlard's grazing.—Atlantic. A little more gray in the lessening hair, Each day as the years go by; A little more stooping in the form, A little more dim in the eye. A little more faltering of the step As we tread life's pathway o'er. And a little nearer every day To the ones who have gone before. A little more halting of the gait, And a dullness of the ear; A growing weariness of the frame With each swift passing year. A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too, A faltering in life's quest. And a little nearer every day, To a sweet and peaceful rest. A little more loneliness in life As the dear ones pass away; A bigger claim on the heavenly land With every passing way. A little further from toil and care, A little less way to roam; A drawing near to a peaceful voyage And a happy welcome home. —Woman's Life. TERMS. Growing Old.

"Sam" Tompson, the Boston lawyer, back in the seventies had a case in the civil court, and during the trial the attorney on the other side, in a heated argument, called him a liar, in words more forcible than elegant. Now "Sam" was hard of hearing, and his alert assistant promptly informed him that his opponent had just called him a blankety-blanked liar. "Sam" at once faced him, and, in his peculiar drawl, said: "I can take you out on the street and find a hundred who will say the same thing." Then he proceeded with his argument so quickly, the court, if so inclined, had no chance to administer a rebuke, or perhaps a fine for contempt, to his opponent. Domestic Cruelty. "Biffers was badly caught on a freak election but." "What was it?" "Why, he's got to black up and walk around the city hall block with a paste pot and brush and post up fifty hand bills bearing the words. 'Ain't a chump?'" "That isn't as bad as the case of Hopkins." "What about Hopkins?" "Hopkins made a bot with that young wife of his and lost. Now he's got to eat four of her Vassar biscuits at each meal for a week."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. One Mystery Solved. Boarding house habitues who have repeatedly complained of the dark, cheerless coloring of the wall paper in their rooms many find something to interest them in the information recently elicited by a curious clerk in a department store. "I should like to know," said the clerk, "in fact I have long wanted to know, why it is that you ladies who manage boarding houses always choose such dark paper." "Well," said the prospective purchaser, "if that is the only thing you want to know, you might just as well have got wise long ago. We like dark paper because with that on the walls the nails the boarders use to tack up their pictures don't leave such ghastly scars."—New York Press. The Beautiful Terryas. Mr. Joseph Knight, scholar and journalist, when Kate and Ellen Terry were still in their teens, and with Marion and little Florence playing about them, surveying the charming picture the sisters made as they clustered round their father in his study one Sunday afternoon. "Terry," he said, "tell me the secret. Why do you have such lovely children?" "Well, I will tell you the secret," said Mr. Terry, and beckoning his friend out of the room, led him to the garden, where his wife, Mrs. Terry, was cutting her flowers. "My dear!" he said, "Mr. Knight wishes to be introduced to you."—The Gentlewoman. Comes of Colonial Stock. Gen. James A.
