FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN THEIR COUNSEL TURNED OUT Uuheard of Outrage--Every Man to be Tried Without Counsel-- Other News Notes VOL. XVIII THEIR COU TU Uuheard of Out to be Tried Wi Other Ne Washington, D. C., Jan. 25, 1907. The Brownsville investigation will be a battle of attorneys if the various sides in the controversy can secure representation. Senator Foraker is a member of the military affairs committee, which is to conduct the investigation, and will lead the questioning as to vital points in which he is interested. Ex-Gov. Black of N. Y., for Constitutional League, Barred from Committee. At a meeting today to arrange preliminaries, the committee decided not to permit ex-Gov. Frank S. Black of New York, whom the Constitutional League had engaged, to appear, for the present, as attorney for the discharged soldiers. Democrats Will Put Out Petition to Get Lawyer on Committee to Match Democratic Senators wish they had some capable attorney on the committee to look after their interests. It is not improbable that Senator Pettus of Alabama, who is a member, will resign, and that Senator Culberson will be appointed in his stead before the hearings begin on February 4. The death of Senator Alger today makes a Republican vacancy in the committee which will probably be filled immediately. Commissioned and Non-Commissioned Officers Summoned. Summonses were issued today for most of the commissioned and noncommissioned officers of the discharged Negro battalion. Sergt. Sanders Refuses to Testify at War Dept. to Get Back Before Senate Inquiry — Refuses Clemency Now. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, FEB. 1, 1907. Sergt. Mingo Sanders, who was called to the war department this afternoon with the expectation that he would be permitted to re-enlist, went accompanied by a Colored lawyer (N. B. Marshall, Esq.,) and refused to testify under oath about his knowledge of the shooting till after he had been examined by the Senate committee. He departed without re-enlisting. CHURCHES TO UNITE. The most important piece of news of the week is the preliminary arrangements which Zion Baptist Church and Central Baptist Church are making to reunite and form one great church. These two congregations, which are among the greatest of the denomination in the West, have separately made much progress during the past years, and now are considering the advantages of union. Together they will have nearly a thousand members, the greatest membership in the West. They will be the owners of two valuable pieces of real estate, both situated on corner lots, the one Twentieth and Arapahoe streets and the other Twenty-fourth and California. The members who favor the idea contemplate that the two churches united would be able to erect a structure for worship that would cost $50,000 and eclipse anything in this section. The funeral services over the body of Miss Janie Martin, daughter of Mrs. Riley Martin, whose death came unexpectedly last Thursday, were held last Sunday afternoon from Zion Church. Though apparently in good health only a short while previous, she succumbed to the dread messenger all at once. She is one of several children. Her death is all the more sad for the loss of the father of the family only a short while ago. PRICE-GRAY. The most beautiful wedding of the year was solemnized on Jan. 17th, when Mr. Wiley E. Price and Miss Rosa L. Gray were united in marriage by Rev. John L. Ford. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. H. Polk, 3512 Lafayette street, in the presence of a few intimate friends and relatives. The house was decorated with palms, mistletoe and roses. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, with Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Mabel Fere, the ceremony began. Miss Ida Anderson attended the bride and Mr. David Douglass the groom. BIG ENTERTAINMENT. A gigantic entertainment will be given at East Turner Hall, Feb. 7, Thursday of next week, in which Wait of moving picture fame and the Uniform Rank K. of P. will be the participants.

Cardozo was reinstated as supervising principal of the 13th division of the colored schools it was confidently expected that he would remain. But the Board of Education was not inclined to accept this phase of the matter; they wanted to try Mr. Cardozo and put him out of the system. And on Wednesday of last week the trial was begun. Certain charges had been preferred against Mr. Cardozo. Among them was the charge of anonymous letter-writing, around which the whole case centers. A second charge was that he had been guilty of numerous acts of disloyalty, and of conduct unbecoming a supervising principal. And upon these will be wrought the coup de main. This is the thing upon which will be placed the matter of "due process of law." That is to say, upon this vague and uninforming charge a man is to be deprived of his property, which in this case is his position, and branded as unworthy the position which but few colored men are permitted to attain unto. But the proceedings at the trial on last Wednesday were the matters which give us concern. The strange and unprecedented handwriting expert testimony was adduced. The board of education put on the stand as expert witnesses in handwriting, bank cashiers, clerks in the District Auditor's office, clerks, messengers, janitors and charwomen of the Franklin school building. And the attorney for the board had them qualify as expert witnesses. Some of them had seen the handwriting of Mr. Cardozo once, some twice, but swore they knew it when they saw it; swore after they had been coached by the board of education for two days, and some of them swore falsely, swore away, or tried to swear away, a man's future to gratify the dictates of the board of education, that they might profit in the future. And then came the Chancellor. His testimony was one jumble of contradictions; one unsightly sight, one gruelling exhibition of insidious acrobatism. The trial had only proceeded about half way when the motion was made (Continued on page eight.) You can get first-class rooms with Mrs. S. J. Motley at 207 West Sixth street.

Dr. Charles Stedman Bull reported the case of a man, who, as the result of a machinery explosion, was struck in the eye by a flying fragment of steel. It perforated the cornea, iris and lens, and entered the vitreous body, which became filled with blood. Three hours after the accident, when Dr. Bull first saw the patient, it was decided to make an attempt to extract the foreign body by means of the great fibra magnet. At a distance of one and three-quarters inches the action of the magnet produced such a violent disturbance within the eye that it seemed as though the latter would be pulled from its socket. This left no doubt as to the location and nature of the foreign body. The wound in the cornea was thereupon enlarged, and when the eye was then brought into almost actual contact with the magnet, a piece of steel, about four millimeters long and about three and one-sixth millimeters wide, was drawn out through the original hole in the lens, and cornea, and became adherent to the pole of the magnet. An ophthalmoscopic examination made subsequent to the removal of the foreign body showed a hemorrhage of the irreous. After a period of ten days' treatment the patient was discharged from the infirmary with the hole in the cornea and iris partially closed, and his vision was about two-thirds normal. There was no further cloudiness of the lens, in spite of its having been perforated.—New York Medical Record. He Flirted With Himself. A flirtatious young man with an eye or pretty women had an experience evidently which he is telling, although he joke is decidedly on himself. He was riding out on a crowded car one evening when he felt a gentle pressure in his foot. He hardly noticed it, but in a moment later he felt it again gently raised his foot with a release. He looked up with a smile to a woman beside him, who, although they, did not seem to be the least dined to flirt. He was puzzled. He felt the touch on his foot, not a smile. Just then the car was a sudden lurch and his umbrella, which had been hanging on his arm, most poked a hole in his shoe. He could have kicked himself if the car hadn't been so crowded.—Kansas City journal. Rich Reward for a Kind Act THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

This did not suit Captain Oyster. He wanted the man railroaded through, his case settled forthwith and at once, and his motion to that effect was carried. But Mrs. Mussey, who was on the board, and who is a lawyer, objected, and when the board met later in the day to consider the case Mrs. Mussey did not attend, and the meeting was postponed until Saturday. The great battle over the Brownsville affair in the Senate has been discontinued for a time, until further testimony is taken in the case, and Senator Foraker wears the wreath of victory in the struggle. That he has been right all along all unprejudiced men agree, and that he is acting in the best interests of his country will be later seen. Senator Foraker is to act as the examiner on behalf of the soldiers who appear before the committee, and cross examine the witnesses who are to be summoned from Brownsville before the committee. We will await results. The Richards' Literary Club met at the home of Miss Essie Jackson on last Thursday evening and discussed the life and work of Frederick Douglas. The principal paper was read by Miss Evelyn Lynch. She spoke of his beginning, a slave without hope, of the day when he realized he had a hope and a future, and the beginning of his acquirement of knowledge; how he broke the chains of slavery and as- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. serted that great force with which nature and nature's God had endowed him; how he rose step by step, the beginning of his career as an orator, the meeting with the great men of his time, how he became the leader of the thought of his day on questions touching the life and destiny of the race of which he was a part and the race he loved so well; his life as a public officer, and pointed out that he was the "Noblest Roman of them all." Mr. Ennis G. Syphax and Mr. A. S. Pinkett discussed Frederick Douglas as a champion of the ballot in the hand of the Negro. Miss Moore, Miss Jackson, Miss Jones, Miss Houston and Miss Dyson discussed the marriages of Mr. Douglas, and H. J. Pinkett, Douglas and the anti-slavery cause. P. S. TWISTER. CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO.

In answer to inquiries as to the meaning of the word it was explained that a pachofsha is a feast and a part of the incantation and superstitious ceremony conducted over the sick by the lower class of ignorant Indians. When a man is thought to be sick enough to require the services of a doctor he is put into a hut, and for three days no one except the doctor sees him. The doctor goes into the woods and gathers herbs, from which he prepares a potion for the sick man and then keeps a lonely vigil with him. At the end of the third day, if the patient is not improved, the order is given to prepare a pachofsha. Corn and meat, either beef, pork or game, are put in a large kettle and stewed until the corn is soft. All the relatives of the sick man are entitled to attend, and they gather around the kettle for the feast. The sick man is brought out and served first. He is fed as much as his stomach can hold, and the others then turn in and devour the remainder of the stew. When this is concluded a bonfire is built and lighted, and the crowd circles around and dances to the tune of a weird chant. After this, if the sick man does not show signs of getting better, nothing more is done for him, and he dies or gets well by act of Providence.—Oklahoma Times Journal. Fourth Annual .BENEFIT.

S. W. BYRD. Like a bolt from a clear and cloudless sky, Who could have thought it was his to die, When early on Tuesday morning he rose, After spending a night of sweet repose? "I'll make the fire, Sarah." said he, and no more, Then forth from the bed, he was out on the floor; But no, a kind Providence ordained otherwise, And angels awaited to bear to the skies. A soldier of war, yet filled with strong vim, From labors of duty and love, God took him, And now in that realm far beyond this thick maze, We his face would behold, but not so, mortal gaze. Just finishing his home, for dear ones he loved. While a Mansion, completed, awaited above. His day's work was ended, then a retrospect look. When unannounced, unexpected, God's chariot he took. Victorious warrior, thy comrades left mourn For you in that realm whence no travelers return, But cheered by the songs we've heard you of't sing, We'll fight for the Master and follow our King. We'll take up the flag which you valiantly bore, And tell to thy sons that you've passed on before, Every valley and dale, every mountain and peak Shall think of thee daily, and of thy life speak. Sleep on, worthy frater, and take now thy rest, Thy day's work is done, thy noble life blest, His "Welcome, well done," long since has been thine, And now on His bosom, with joy you recline. To you who did'st love him, and not without cause, Look up if you'd see him, and looking ne'er pause; For Husband and Father and Comrade and Friend Has entered those portals where bliss has no end. H. FRANKLIN BRAY, Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 27, '07. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. RESOLUTIONS Of Condolence and Eulogy on Rev Samuel W. Byrd. Death is an unsurveyed field, an unarranged science, says Faber. Poetry draws near death, only to hover over it for a moment and withdraw in terror. Suddenly we come face to face with the grim monster. The pitcher is broken at the fountain, the wheel is broken at the cistern. Earth returns to the earth as it was, and the Spirit returns to the God who gave it. We had no such dream, but suddenly on lifting the eye we see the last sand in the hourglass fall. A bright luminary in our religious firmament is blotted out; it will shine here no more, but M. REV. S. W. BYRD yonder it will shine on as the stars forever and ever. Rev. Samuel William Byrd is no more! He arose on the morning of Jan. 22, 1907, about 5 o'clock. "The voice at morning came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame. He fell, but felt no fear." His sword was in his hand. Through rock and steel to smite. In his passing from earth the Colorado conference, A. M. E. Church, loses one of its staunchest members, a man of sterling character, true and loyal to his church. He had been a faithful and successful preacher for more than 35 years. Coming from Missouri to this section about 22 years ago, he pastored all of our leading charges, was honored by his conference as delegate to the General Conference of 1900, was appointed Presiding Elder in Colorado Conference three times. And it has been said one always knew where to find him, viz., in duty's path. Sometimes a little slow, but always sure. Here lies a man! In the language of King David we cry, "Know ye not constant use for over ten years, and is considered a necessary toilet article in thousands of homes. It is guaranteed free from all injurious drugs or chemicals. NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING makes harsh, stubborn, kinky, curly hair soft, pliant and glossy, enables you to comb it with ease and to do it up in any style consistent with its length. It is perfectly safe and harmless. By supplying the needed oils directly to the roots of the hair, NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING tones up, invigorates and nourishes the scalp, stops the hair from falling out, increases its growth, and prevents the hair from splitting and breaking off at the ends, and gives the hair new life and vigor. NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING removes Dandruff, cures Tetter, Itching and Scalling of the Scalp, etc. There is nothing experimental about Nelson's Hair Dressing; it has been thoroughly tested and is endorsed by thousands of satisfied users. Try a box and be convinced that it does all and more than what we claim for it. WHAT THOSE WHO KNOW HAVE TO SAY: that a Prince and a great man has fallen in Israel?" He lived for God as he saw duty. His life seemed to say, "I'll do all I can, and I can't do any more. I'll do all I can for my Lord." Look here, ye careless, ye improvident ones. See this man, with limited opportunities in life, measuring up to manhood's possibilities. His last thought on material lines was to erect a shelter for those whom God had given him. He preached the gospel, then labored early and late. See him yield up his life, a sacrifice for those he loved. Love is not all sentiment. But love is proven by service. And what though others may have had a greater number of talents? And what though others may have soared on stronger pinions to loftier heights? And what though the brilliancy of other intellects may have shone with more effulgence in the darkness of this old world?

Jokes by Freight. Lleut. Randolph of the United States navy was the center of attraction one evening at an entertainment given by the British officers at Gibraltar. His witty sayings and anecdotes kept the guests in roars of laughter. One of the British officers met Randolph the following morning, and said: "Lleut. Randolph, I have been thinking over some of your jokes this morning and, by Jove! they are clever, leucodly clever." And Randolph replied: "Thanks I'm glad you've got them at last; by freight." And the Englishman walked away, tapping his forehead and repeating thoughtfully, "By freight!"—Chicago Record-Herald. Mark Twain and the Snobs. Mark Twain and W. D. Howells were one day lunching in a cafe in New York. Two over-dressed young men entered, and the first said in a loud voice: "Waiter, bring me some oblique of lobster, a bottle of wine and a chop. Just mention my name to the cook, too, so that everything will be done to my liking." The second young man said: "Bring me some sole with peas, and tell the cook who it's for." Mr. Twain gave his order a moment later. He said in a loud voice: "Bring me a half dozen oysters, and mention my name to each of them." Muscles of the Skin. The muscles of the skin need a gymnastic training that will educate them to contract vigorously on the slightest contact with cold, shutting the blood out of the skin so quickly that the precious body heat will not be lost. When the skin is cold there is a "goose-flesh" appearance, due to the contraction of the little muscles of the skin. The contraction of these muscles compresses the blood vessels of the skin and shuts out the blood; the skin is hardened and thickened, and becomes a better nonconductor, maintaining the body tempera Some Simple Rules That Are Well Worth Remembering. An experienced oculist recently gave the following hints: "Those who work much with their eyes should remember that they are using muscles as well as other organs, and these muscles should not be unduly strained. "In reading, the book should be held as far from the eyes as a clear view of the reading matter will permit, as long-range vision calls for the least strain on the ciliary (or eyelid) muscles. Again, the book should be held at right angles to a line extending from the eyes to the line of print on the page which is being read. This is another relief for the eye muscles, which are only called upon to move the eyes across the page, and not up or down. "By this method reading in a recumbent posture (so generally condemned) is rendered practically harmless. But, of course, a great deal depends on the light. It should always fall from above or behind the student, and never be so poor as to necessitate the object being brought close to the eyes. This is what strains the muscles, and produces congestion and other evils."—Montreal Herald. NAMES OF BIBLICAL TINGE Remarkable Cognomens, Some Doubtless Apocryphal. Praise-God Barebones and other quaintly named Puritans had their forerunners in such saints as Deegratias (Thank God), Bishop of Carthage who is commemorated on March 23. Deegratias' episcopal predecessors rejoiced in the name of Quodvultdeus (What-God-wills), which was borne by half a dozen fifth or sixth century bishops. Habetdeum (He-hath-God) and Adeodatus (Given-by-God) were other names of the time. Latin can form such names, usually, less grotesquely than English. It is probably apocryphal, however, that Praise-God Barebones, or Barebone (really Barbon), had two brothers, named Christ-came-into-the-world-to-save Barebone, If-Christ-had-not-died-for-you-you - had been-damned Barebone, which, according to Hume, was called "Damned Barebone" for short. Hume also mentions God-reward Smart, Standfast-onhigh Stringer, Kim-sin Pimple, Flydebate Roberts, and Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith White. Judges Must Have Thought Hard During That Trim. Senator Hoar told an incident of his legal practice in connection with his remarks about the dangerous condition of the old government printing office. "I am reminded," said he, "of something that happened in the supreme court of our state some years ago. They held court at Northampton and went over to Mount Holyoke, where there is an elevator which takes travelers up the side of a steep rock a hundred or two hundred feet to avoid the difficulty of climbing. "The judges, as judges are apt to be, were nearly all of them rather corpulent men. Six or seven got into the elevator at once. They saw that the rope that held the car in which they went was very much frayed, and they asked the manager if he did not think it was a little unsafe. "Yes,' the manager said, 'it is wholly unsafe and likely to break every minute, but we are going to have a new one next Monday.'" e ST e“d eis : [ .

Si NANRIE WHLLS Recorder, As children part of the Jap's education is learning to notice. A tray with a dozen things on it is given to the child for a few minutes, when it is taken away from him and he is required to repeat from memory the name of everything that was on the tray. Gradually the numbers of things are increased and the time he is allowed to look at them decreased, until noticing becomes a habit, and a single, cursory glance catches up main idea and details in an almost magical way. One mother, who heard of the method, was so struck by its simplicity and by the value of quick observing that she tried the experiments with her own children—not with trays and objects, but in their walks. She found that the children develop splendid memories as well. Boston Traveler. Skill of Old-Time Surgeon. Of the skill in surgery of Dr. Valentine Mott, it is recorded that in 1828 he performed what is universally allowed to be the most difficult feat ever attempted in surgery. A clergyman was afflicted with an enormous tumor in the neck, in which were imbedded and twisted many of the great arteries. In removing the tumor it was necessary to take out entire one of the collar bones, to lay bare the membrane inclosing the lungs, to dissect around arteries displaced by the tumor and imbedded in it, to apply 45 ligatures and remove an immense mass of diseased matter. All this was done without the aid of chloroform. The patient survived the operation and many years afterward continued to discharge the duties of his profession. Meant to Enjoy Fortune. "What Will He Do With It" is a story as well worth reading to-day as when it was written, nobody knows how long ago. A big windfall tumbled into a certain poor man's lap recently, and the very first question his friends asked was: "What will he do with his fortune?" "I suppose," said one, "you will be having automobiles now, and buying the wife some diamond jewelry?" "Well, I guess not," was the emphatic rejoinder. "Haven't we had trouble enough? I'm going to sit back and enjoy living!" Life A little longer and toil is done, A little farther on the road to go, A little stress of shifting, drifting snow, A little journeying through shade and sun, A little rest where quiet waters run, A little parleying with friend and foe, A little oasis where blossoms grow, A little darkness ere the light is won. A little sin that leaves a little stain, A little sorrow and a little joy, A little mending of a broken toy, A little pleasure and a little pain, A little thought of when I was a boy, A little fear that I have lived in vain. —London Opinion. Trying to Get Out of It. A quaint story of Lord Leighton was told by Mr. G. Storey, A. R. A. Two ladies were looking at his Helen of Troy. "It is a horrid picture," one remarked to the painter. "I'm sorry, but it's mine," said Sir Frederick, as he then was. "Oh," said the lady, "you don't mean to say you've bought it." "No, I painted it," was the reply. 'Oh!" declared the ladies, "you must not mind what we say. We are only saying what everybody else says." Jenkin's Cafe will serve three regular meals daily. Oysters, fish and poultry in season.

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 a bottle, or easily sufficient for 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 harmless, it is so toilet friendly and harmless, it is gentle and children's Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continually since about 1955, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW", was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1854. 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.

F9.-1 +- Consumption of Beverage in That Town 700,000 Barrels a Year, Munich is the great béer city of the world,” said Fritz Sommersen, Mem- phis, who has recently returned from & continental trip. “There are nearly 6,000 breweries in Bavaria, big and little, or about one to every 1,000 in- habitants. The largest are in Munich, one of which produces annually 7,000,- 000 gallons of beer, and there are two others not far behind. “The city of Munich drinks every year 700,000 barrels of beer, or nearly two barrels to every man, woman and child in the place, and pays more than $6,000,000 for it. Taking the whole country, the consumption of beer is 260 quarts a head of population. Mu- nich alone has nearly 300 breweries, there having been a steady increase in the number for the last 200 years. In 1600 there were sixty breweries in the capital, but the first records con- cerning the brewing of beer date back to 1150. For several centuries after that time mead, a concoction of water and fermented honey, was the com- mon drink of the people. “In 1615 the hofbrau, or royal brew- ery, was established, which is still @ flourishing Institution and puts a great deal of money yearly into the King’s coffers. When Gen.

Japanese Goldfish Farms. Although the goldfish occurs in a wild state in Japan, it is probable that China some 400 years ago furnished the stock from which the wonderful varieties of Japanese goldfish have been bred. It {s reported that in feu- dal days when the famine was abroad in the land and many people were Starving, the trade in goldfish was flourishing. The demand at present appears to be without limit, and the output shows a substantial increase each year. Many thousand people make a Nving by growing goldfish for mar- ket, and hundrds of pedlers carry the fish through the streets and along the country roads in wooden tubs suspend- ed from a shoulder bar. The leading goldfish center is Kori. yama, near the ancient capital city of Nara. Here are 350 independent breeding establishments, whose year. ly product runs far into the millions.

Buermeyer, the president of the National Amateur Skating Asso- ciation, was describing a banquet that he had once attended in New York. “I found this banquet interesting,” he said, “and I was one of the last to leave. In the cloakroom, as I was putting on my hat and coat, I couldn't help noticing the woebegone look on the attendant’s face. The poor fellow appeared worried and sad, and every little while he sighed and muttered to himself. “*You seem disconsolate, friend,’ 1 said. “‘T am disconsolate, sir,’ said the attendant. “What is the trouble?’ said 1. ‘Hayen’t the guests tipped you well to-night?’ “The attendant answered in an ex- cited voice: “It's not only, sir, that they haven't tipped me, but they've taken the quar- ter that I put in the tray for a de eoy.’”"—Buffalo Enquirer.

The skilled professional doctor is one of the greatest helps to the Indians and the Navajos are receiving him with very little distrust. The savage misapprehension of things that are new is gradually subsiding, as results make clear to him that the white man's medicine is more powerful than his. But there are exceptions. The purely physical troubles may be eradicated by the doctor, but there still remains, in many cases, a mental uncertainty that demands the attention of the tribal medicine man. It is not a foible or a fancy that can be overcome by medicine, but a mental disease governed by countless ages of mysticism which necessitates the occult, mind-easing treatment of the old days. This, then, is the mind cure of the Indians—the Christian science of the savage, which, hand in hand with concrete medicine, exists in all races, whether barbaric or cultured. It is as necessary to the Indian as a certain amount of mind cure is essential to our happiness. The knowledge of modern curative agents should be imparted to the younger members of the tribe. They are capable of assimilating new facts and will take readily to the new school. Civilization is disrupting the major portion of the old laws and beliefs relating to the cause and cure of disease will soon be things of the past. With this essential of the old life gone the work of the medicine men will have been finished. At present there must be a certain co-operation between the modern doctor who goes among them and the medicine man of the tribe. World's Greatest Doctor. There is a great physician who long ago began To clear away the troubles that come to pester man; 'Tis true he is old-fashioned, but many a grievous ill That puzzles other doctors would yield to this one's skill; He makes no heavy charges, and he is always near To serve you if you want him; his full hame is Good Cheer. His practice should be world-wide, and daily it should grow; He serves in summer weather and when the wild winds blow; His night bell is in order, he answers every call; He gives no bitter doses and tortures not at all; And they have few diseases and stand in little fear Who always are serenely attended by Good Cheer. He does not deem the wealthy more worthy of his care Than are the poor who seek him. Where walls and floors are bare He ministers as freely as where the rich abide, And all he asks in payment are hope and honest pride, The hope and pride that follow where duty's call is clear— 'Tis time to aid in spreading the practice of Good Chear Sunday services at Zion Baptist Church begins at 10:45 a.m. Sunday school at 1 p.m. At 6:30 p.m. the B.

No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. 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 $4.50 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. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us.

Contributors should remember that all manuscript that is not accompanied by return postage is considered by this paper as not wanted by the writer if not published. through the efforts of the good people of Boston, a fund of $450 has been raised for the hiring of legal talent so that the discharged Negro soldiers of the 25th Infantry may have the assistance of good advice and not be putty in the hands of the Senate committee. The Boston Guardina, of which Wm. Trotter is editor, has been a host in pushing on the work which is being done in New England for the maintenance of the rights of the colored soldiers, and was foremost in the getting up of this contribution. Information has come through Prof. W. E. DuBois, who is the secretary of the Niagara Movement, that the legal bureau of the Movement, of which Attorney F. L. McGhee of St. Paul is the head, has won the Barbara Pope case in the courts of Virginia, whereby the Jim Crow car law of that state is smashed. This is a magnificent victory and shows what the race can do of its own initiative. Some considerable cost was attached to this case, and it is up to the colored people of the country, who are directly and indirectly the beneficiaries of the case, to pay off in full all the cost that accrued. Some seven years ago this paper took occasion to extend its thanks on behalf of the colored people to Major William Cooke Daniels for the opportunity of employment which he and his store had given to people of our race. On some subsequent occasions we have shown how the good service which some of these employes had given the Daniels & Fisher Stores Company had indirectly caused the employment of others of us in the other large stores of the city. So it comes that whether he saw the outcome of his actions or not, Major Daniels is among the greatest benefatcors of our race in this Western country. It is therefore with the greatest de- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. gree of pleasure that The Statesman joins with the white press of the city in doing honor to him for the distinguished work he has done in his travels, for the enlightenment of the civilized world along the lines of ethnology and kindred sciences. He is the more to be appreciated for achievement, for he was placed above want and privation by birth and thereby lost the great incentive to labor. It is to the innate nobility of character that he owes the incentive to work for the good of mankind, and deserves the greater credit for it. With wealth esteeming itself above responsibility, it is delightful to find one who recognizes his place in the world's work, though he is wealthy, and doubly delightful to have such an one here in our midst, where his good works accrue to our benefit. AN OPEN LETTER. Mr. C. A. Franklin, Denver, Colo.: Dear Sir—As you have so kindly offered me space in your paper, I shall say a few words to your readers. The first month of the new year has passed since the consolidation of the American Life and Commonwealth Life. The results have more than justified the expectations held by the managers of the company. We have insured double as many new members this January as we did last January. Our assets have increased to over $23,000 We have no just claims which are unpaid. We are paying our policy holders each and every week where other companies do not pay until after recovery. Agents of other companies have asserted that the Commonwealth was in new hands, and that I had no further interest in it. This is false, as I am now and propose to remain, the President of the company. I do not need to be introduced to hundreds of colored people in Denver and Pueblo to whom I have paid thousands of dollars in benefits in the last four years. I intend to continue treating the colored people of Colorado the same as I have always done—that is, right, to the best of my ability. We started here in 1903, unknown, and have built up our business until today we have more paying members in Denver and Pueblo than any other two similar companies. The way we have done this is by paying every just claim, and TERMS.

It has been discovered by the engineers who are occupied with the maintenance of the Suez canal that the best of all methods of protecting the banks from crumbling and decay is provided by the natural growth of reeds which fringe the channel for some distance below Ismailia on the African side and some rather interesting attempts have been lately made to plant new beds in other parts of the canal. It is stated that the local species of reed with which the experiment has been so far made will not live in salt or very brackish water in the early stages of its growth, though it will bear transplanting later, and that at present the serviceableness of the natural means of protection is consequently limited. Where the water is sufficiently free from brine, however, the network of roots is found to put a facing on the loose soil of the banks more successful and permanent than a wall of brick or stone, and it would probably not be difficult to discover and establish some coarse sedge or other plant of the sea marshes.—Country Life. Little Emerson's Quandary. "Father, what is a sparrow?" asked little Emerson Beans, looking up for an instant from a volume of Thoreau. "Why, a sparrow," responded he, "is one of those little birds that you see—" Little Emerson listened with a puzzled expression. The old gentleman tried another tack: "It is what is known as 'passer domesticus'—" Little Emerson began to understand. "Of the family 'Fringillidae.'" "Oh, of course; I recognize the term now; how stupid of me. There is only one possible objection to Thoreau," he continued, "and that is he uses such nursery terms, it is sometimes hard to comprehend them." And the youth returned to his book, leaving his father in dire perplexity as to the terms in which he was to announce to him that it was time to go to bed.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Novel Incubator. While carrying on a series of experiments in his laboratory with chicken life during the embryonic stages, Dr. Counter, a young dentist of Toledo, O., succeeded in hatching a chicken by means of an ordinary steam radiator. The egg was placed in a small paper box and hung from the radiator during the period of incubation. At the end of the twenty-one days the chick was hatched and has since been kept in a paper suit box, about three by one and one half feet, with a little shelter in one corner of it. The box is hung near the radiator, and its inmate, now three weeks old, as strong and vigorous as one could expect a chicken to be raised under natural conditions. Cruel to be Kind. This story is told of a well-known Philadelphia physician. He was called, recently to the bedside of a man whom he had never before seen. "Why," asked the physician of the patient's wife, "did you delay sending for me until your husband was unconscious?" "Oh," said she, tearfully, "as long as he retained his sense, doctor, he wouldn't let me send for you." Mrs. A. Douglass has returned home after a very pleasant visit. The Bible reading class met with Mrs. J. H. Pearson last Sunday evening. Mrs. George M. Pierson entertained the Ladies' Sewing Circle last week. We are all glad to see Mr. J. O. Robinson up and around again after a spell of sickness. Mr. J. S. Battles is in Salt Lake City on business. Miss Adell Douglass has been quite sick. There were not so many out to church last Sunday on account of the cold weather. Mrs. J. H. Pearson received a letter from her sister, Mrs. A. K. Parks, who is in the Philippines, saying that she and her husband are rejoicing over a fine baby girl. A grand declamation, reading and oration contest at Zion Baptist church Monday evening.
