RECOGNIZ RECOGNIZED IN PUEBLO Special to The Statesman The Appointment of Dr. S. A. Huff to the position of police surgeon is the cause of considerable congratulation among the people of the colored race, as this is the first time that a colored man has been appointed to any office higher than policeman since the city was incorporated. Dr. Huff has been in Pueblo several years and enjoys a large practice among the people of his race. He is part owner of a drug store on Northern avenue, having recently purchased the business of D. Bushby. It is understood that as police surgeon Dr. Huff will spend most of his time at the city hall in readiness to answer all emergency cases. Heretofore when a report of an accident reached the police headquarters, it has been necessary to summon the city physician or his assistant from their FOURTH ANNIVERS OF FOURTH ANNIVERSARY The anniversary of the Two Jims' club was a night of merriment and fun. It it one of the popular resorts and known from coast to coast. Jimmy Clark and Jimmy Cartwright were put to their best stunts to make welcome MRS. WILLIAMS DEAD. The wife of A. P. Williams died very suddenly Sunday morning at their home on Humboldt street. She had been ill only a short while and was seemingly on the road to recovery when the end came. She leaves a husband and a little child, the latter especially needing her loving care. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Welton are also relatives. The funeral was held Thursday from the home. She will be missed by those who knew her and appreciated her kindliness and real worth. --- EIGHTEENTH YEAR. THE S DENVER, COLO., FI IZED IN PUEBLO offices and it is thought that the size of the city will justify the appointment of a surgeon.—Pueblo Chieftain. Heretofore the recognition the 1,800 colored voters of Pueblo have received have been one janitor at the city hall, and two policemen. It made no difference which political party was in power that was the sum and total of recognition the colored voters got. But at the last city election there was a revolt led in the Republican camps by Lawyer W. b. Townsend for more and better recognition for the colored vote which practically has been cast unanimously for the Republican ticket. The result was that hundreds of colored voters supported the Democratic ticket which was elected, and they received additional recognition in the appointment of Dr. S. A. Huff as police surgeon. VERSARY OF THE TWO JIMS the stream of guests. This is the fourth year for the club and it is still continuing its policy of catering to its guests in a fair, cordial manner. Messrs. Ellison and Gilmore were the musicians and everybody was toastmaster. WILL JOHNSON KILLED. Building Laborers Union No. 1 will hold a double funeral over two of its deceased members Sunday afternoon from the undertaking parlors of Undertaker Gilmore. The first member lost was William Johnson, who was brutally slain on Nineteenth street last week. His murderer has been apprehended and awaits trial. The second death was but little less tragic. Richard Dancy, an old citizen of this city who numbers his friends by the dozens, dropped dead on his DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY APRIL 19, 1907. State Historian & Natural History Society DROPPED DEAD. work Friday. Heart failure was the cause. He was conveyed to his home, 2048 Lawrence street. There will be a big turn out on the occasion of the funeral and the union will pay them all honors. A WORD ABOUT A FRIEND. The Scholtz Drug company is now operating three drug stores in this city. In all of them in the soda department he employs colored help. Being the largest business of its kind in this city, his lead is followed and to his use of colored dispensers is due in a large measure the high regard in which they are held by druggists. Fourteen dispensers are now in Mr. Scholtz' pay. It is needless to say that the men must give the service, but none the less it is true that the friendly spirit which Mr. Scholtz has always shown for the colored dispensers has been much toward friendly relations and their employment. SCENES FROM BEN HUR. The Woman's Guild Entertainment Tuesday Evening a Big Success In Every Way. The Woman's Guild of the Church of the Redeemer, staged the most ambitionus effort of the amateur productions yet given in this city, when they produced tableaux from "Ben Hur" at East Turner hall Tuesday night. The limitations of the stage and scenery were overcome very cleverly and the productions were of a class that vied with the appearance of the professional company that presented it here. The posturing was especially good. At the close of the tableaux dancing was indulged in to the music of the marris orchestra. The fourth tableau which introduced the children's dance and the dance by Misses Allyn, Gilmore, Troutman and Mrs. Scott, was the favorite. The chorus singing was generally good. The best of the stage effects was the "Lake in the Orchard of Palms" though the "Three Wise Men and the Star" was nearly as good. Mrs. Travick and Morgan Jackson were the characters in the former. ANNIVERSARY Next week is the anniversary entertainment of Odd Fellowship when No. 2320, the oldest in this western country, will celebrate at East Turner hall. This is really a city celebration for the early unity of our people in this western country was almost entirely fraternal and Rocky Mountain lodge is a pioneer lodge. FIVE CENTS A COPY NEGRO WOMAN'S CLUB. The largest woman's club in the world is in Sierra Leone, on the West Coast of Africa. It is called the "Bundu," and has 11,000 members. The madam president, although they do not call her that, acts as the Bundu devil, and attired in her robes of office, exercises her power over spirits, good and evil. The mother who is a member of the Bundu keeps her young children at home during the time that her care is essential to their well-being. After that time they are sent away. If there are boys they are sent into the "Poro bush," an encampment in one of the beautiful dells in the forest. There the boys are under the charge of the ancient and wise men of the tribe and there they are trained in hunting, fighting, dancing, singing, cooking. The Poro bush is the man's college of Sierra Leone. If the child is a girl she is sent into the Bundu bush, a hidden and secret encampment in the forest, where the old women and strong young men, slaves are paid workers, care for them and educate them in the domestic arts. No man may approach the Bundu bush except on pain of death, so the female seminary of the Bundu goes unmolested, no man daring to approach. The parents of the children must pay for their care and training and feeding of their children. Occasionally there is a public exhibition of the girls from the Bundu bush, a sort of commencement day exercise. The girls are handsome if rather barbaric looking. The dancing costume consists of short white cotton skirts, draped with palm leaves, and from the edges of the skirt are suspended thin pieces of iron that jangle musically as the girls dance. After the dances the girls are led back to their secret retreat. In such cases the parents arrange the girl's betrothal to some wealthy young man, or to a child where parents are wealthy, and the betrothed pays the expenses, claiming her when her education is complete.—Chicago Tribune. The club women of Sierra Leone are resourceful. They have made possible the education of all girls of good families, even when the families are not able to pay the expenses of sending their girls away to this college or convent in the bush.

Roberts is secretary has the wonderful record of having disposed of the whole of the first block of shares which were put on the market at 5 cents. There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered. and though the price has been raised to 10 cents, 20,000 are already bargained for. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. IN THE COUNTY COURT. State of Colorado, City and County of Denver, ss. In the County Court. Flora M.

It was the United States which be gan the maufacture of aluminum by the electrolyte process. That was is 1888. In 1889 almost the same process was in use in Switzerland, having bees worked “out Independently. Since the latter year, says Cassier’s Magazine, the production of aluminum bas increased enormously, and at the Present time the annual output of th metal {is estimated to be 8,000,000 tons @s compared with 85 tons in 1889. [1 England the price has fallen in thi same period from ten shilling sli Pence per pound to one shilling thre pence per pound. If a cheaper rav materia] than refined aluminum coult be used im the process a still furthe teduction in price would be possible. Nine works are now using thi method, three in the United States two in France, one each fn Great Brit ain, Germany, Switzerland and Aus tria. The demand for the metal !: growing in connection with motor car and railway carriage work. th latest example of this use of the ligh metal being for the Inside of the car for one of the London undergrouné tube cars. Very large amounts of the cheape! brands of aluminium are now being employed in the c@ting of iron an¢ st€el. The Goldechmids thermit proc ess for welding tramway railegkajkq repairs of castings, etc., is a new use responsible for the annual consump tion of many tons of aluminum in the form of powder. “S400G OTR Gj emeéeasoumny puv [ves ‘Buj[1038 22009 O18 38) esviqd pus d)0poeue ‘s9)08 ~ABQO ey) JO Qonu oF oWBD QoIqa Je NO GINIZ JO YOOQ sj q) JO seysvM Jes -W}q epwar eq ‘Kauinof szeqous fuva GO paw ,{aTepseppr] Oyu} spyes,, [en “BY OF0T) UD “WY 0} e402) GINSBII) SBM ‘Um0o} BY) JO AO[[B By] WOIy oelj 8]948 pasy ‘q¥no1 ay) ‘ainjwu usa ‘RH ‘SU0}}}PUOD puv s}108 [T¥ Jo a[doed ay) O} peduyjs sem 33 se puefoog JO snjue® oy) qIIM BACT Uy Ose BUM OH “£4078;q [BO[ AY) ITY ‘3} Oo® PINOD ovho #8 1; 08 ‘afd KY IPA 98 PUY mOUX 0} Osindmy 4814 syY paxBles 30 Wo] JeAoM OY pus ‘K2}UN0D pue zi] 42700g IM O¥IUOO JuBWSUOD Uy sNY3 8m OF] “djYsyI0[9 J1N09 sy Zujpuys “Qyjajom 4) UT 7Bq) YZinqaipa jo yno SqIUOU!

Soldiers Play at War on a Vast Tract of Land England has reserved a tract of land several hundred square miles in extent on which her soldiers play at war, according to F. A. Talbot in the Technical World Magazine. The Russian-Japanese war served to emphasize the radical revolution which has taken place in warfare due to the remarkable improvements which have been wrought in the devising of long-range and quick-firing weapons, combined with improvements in explosives. The result of this revolution in warfare is that a battle front may range over as much as 60 or 70 miles. Consequently a grave difficulty presents itself in the training of an army to comply with and to understand these new conditions, since it is essential that an army in peace should be brought to a high standard of efficiency which will enable it to cope with any peculiar difficulty that may present itself in actual combat. But to train an army upon this basis necessitates a vast tract of land having a conformation of the most difficult nature and far removed from the influences of human habitations, to enable the men to have the fullest scope in which to practice the new conditions of their science. KEEN INTELLIGENCE WANTED. A Story That Illustrates What Banks Are Looking For. Pierce Jay, the commissioner of banks of Massachusetts, at the American Bankers' association's convention in St. Louis, advocated a better accounting system. "But above all," said Mr. Jay, in a discussion of his idea, "we want intelligence, if embosslement is to be thoroughly put down. Systems are good, but intelligence is better, and in cashiers and tellers and bookkeepers and note clerks we want the same keen, quick intelligence that characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack of Gloucester. "Cack lay very ill. One day he got down-hearted, feeling that his case was hopeless. "'I fear, doctor,' he said, 'there isn't much hope for me.' "'Oh, yes, there is,' the doctor answered. 'Three years ago I was in your condition precisely, and look at me now.' "Cack, intelligent and alert, said quickly: "'What doctor did you have?" Hard on the Undeniaker. "You seem to be enjoying uni lity good health," said the friend of e family. "The last time I was here y u were up against a severe attack of d. penela." "That's right," replied the jovial head of the household. "I bunkoed the undertaker out of a job, all right, all right." "How did you manage it?" was the friendly interrogatory. "I got hold of my wife's cookbook and made a bonfire of it," was the significant reply. The train was just stopping, and he took one look at that face, picked up a brown paper bag that had accidentally got torn, dashed down the platform, and though his luggage has been deposited two weeks at the station he has not appeared to claim it.—London Answers. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. OKE SAW THE SENATE Rule of Exclusion Had No Effect Upon One Woman. No one but Senators and Congressmen and a few other authorized persons are allowed on the floor of the Senate. New members leave their photographs with the sergeant at arms and these the doorkeepers are required to study, in order not to make mistakes about those whom they admit or refuse. This fact is not generally known, and the doorkeeper always has the best of the joke when some smart fellow comes along, and, pretending that he is a member of the House, seeks to gain entrance to the Senate. It is very seldom that the doorkeepers are fooled. Recently two Congressmen entered the Senate floor, accompanied by two friends, whom they introduced to the doorkeeper as newly elected members, whose photos had not arrived. The exclusion of visitors from the door of the Senate has had the curious effect of making some people all the most persistent in their efforts to gain admission. Not long ago a man and woman presented themselves at the door of the Senate and asked permission to enter. The doorkeeper explained that this was out of the question. The woman undertook to argue the matter. She said she merely wanted to take a look at what was going on within and would return at once. Just then a telegram arrived for one of the Senators, and the door keeper left his post to have it to a page within. As he did so the woman, following close upon his heels, passed through both doors and was at his back when he turned to go out. She looked hurriedly to right and left, and then, with an exclamation, "Well, I made up my mind I'd see what was in here, and I've done it!" turned, ran through both doors, rejoined her cort, and walked rapidly away before the doorkeeper had time to recover from his astonishment at her audacity. Some Garden Enemies. How a plant can survive nowadays is a mystery, for almost everyone has some special energy or enemies; in fact, their name is legion, says the Garden Magazine. There are biters, borers, suckers and cutters; there are mildew, rust, blight and scab. While there are wholesale methods of destroying most of them, there are about two dozen "critters" that have to be known by sight and fought by special methods. All insects may be divided into two classes, the biters and the suckers. The way to get rid of the pests that bite and chew is to poison their food, but the fellows that suck the juices and pay no attention whatever to poison on the outside surface of a plant have to be met and slain in open battle. Home Journal Full Particulars. A small boy who had recently passed his 41fth birthday was riding in a suburban car with his mother, when they were asked the customary question, "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. The boy sat quite still as if pondering over some question and then, concluding that the full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car.

DENVER. COLORADO. GREAT POET'S ONE WITTICISM. Wordsworth Seemingly Unduly Proud of Simple Joke. A rare old book, called The Living Authors of England, published in 1849, commences with a study of Wordsworth, in which is recorded what is said to be the only joke the poet ever made. At a friend's house, after dinner, it appears, the conversation turned upon wit and humor. Thomas Moore, who was present, told some anecdotes of Sheridan, whereupon Wordsworth observed that he did not consider himself a witty poet—"indeed," he said, "I do not think I was ever witty but once in my life." Being pressed to tell the company what this special drollery was, the poet said, with some hesitation: "Well I will tell you. I was standing some time ago at the entrance of my cottage at Rydal Mount, when a man accosted me with the question, 'Pray sir, have you seen my wife pass by?' whereupon I answered. Why my good friend, I didn't know till this moment that you had a wife!'" The company stared and upon realizing that this was all there was to the poet's joke, burst into a roar of laughter, which Wordsworth smilingly accepted as a genuine compliment to the brilliancy of his wit Strong Words Come Handy. In America we will fight the swearing habit. We will admit that it is immoral and unwise to cuss, but there is a heap of comfort in the fact that when the jelly refuses to jell and the stepladder falls and the door closes on two fingers and a boil finds its resting place on the end of one's nose, there are words, codles of them, in this good English language that might be used if a victim was so minded. There is nothing like having a thing handy, even if you do not want it. Mobile Herald. All Things Necessary. A friend of mine who was very enthusiastic about things Irish, herself being an Englishwoman, was driving on an outside car in Dublin. She was praising everything to the carman, and among the rest the famous Dublin stout with which she had just become acquainted. "What an excellent drink it is," she said, "why, it's meat and drink, too." "Thrue for you, ma'am," replied the cardriver, "an' a night's lodgin' too, if you drink enough of it."

Slavery is still practiced by civilized peoples, points out Charles Edward Russell, in Everybody's. He writes: "Very curious observations pertain to the Anglo-Saxon practice in nomenclature by which a thing becomes something else if called by another name. Thus there is no Chinese slavery in South Africa, we are assured, because the conditions there are called 'coolie labor.' In Assam the employer holds over his employe in the tea fields every right that a resident of Alabama held over his negroes previous to 1863, but we must not call the condition slavery—it is 'indentured labor.' Queensland sugar planters used to hire ruffians to go in schooners among the South sea islands and capture the natives and bring them to the plantations to labor, but the men engaged in this pleasant traffic were not slave catchers; they were 'recruiters.' They used to bring their captures to shore in vessels so like the old slave ships you could hardly tell the difference, but the business they were engaged in was not slave trading; it was merely 'labor.'" How Africans Bear Pain. A writer in Central Africa gives these illustrations of the fact that the black man is much less susceptible to physical suffering than his white brother. A Makua whose foot had been amputated was found the day after the operation out of bed on the hospital floor, using the stump for progression. A Yao who had had three fingers removed stole away the next morning to go on a machila journey of some weeks, using the damaged hand freely. So, too, the expeditions of 1895 against the slave-dealers brought to light many instances of this callousness. Shells fired into a stockade unfortunately do not discriminate between men, women and children. They wound all alike. At Mlozi's women mortally wounded were to be seen going about picking up firewood, drawing water and attending to their physical wants, women who the next day were dead. A little girl whose leg was amputated made her way to a pool, where she sat with the stump dangling in the water, which she was splashing over it with her hands, singing all the time as though nothing was amiss. Bore Had Best of It. John Philip Sousa was talking about musical bores. "I must confess," he said, "that musical bore once got the better of me. It was at a Wagner opera, and the bore sat on my left. He had a book of the score open on his knee and he hummed every passage—every single passage. My patience was at last exhausted. I turned to the man and said: "I beg your pardon, but I didn' pay, you know, to hear you sing." "Then,' said he, 'you have all that to the bargain, eh?"

Gabrielle Thomasset, who has been in the service of our family for the last seventy-six years in succession."

E. church has been installed with new pews, which helps to beautify this edifice. The pews are quite an expensive attachment and Rev. Byers is to be congratulated for his progressive methods. The church has a larger membership than it has ever had and is in a prosperous condition. Chas. Fields, an old-time cook in this section of the country, died last Thursday of acute pneumonia. He has been in poor health for over a year. Mr. Fields was well liked by all who knew him. We know nothing of his former home or his relatives. The remains are in charge of the undertaker. The Afro-American League is preparing for a mammoth entertainment. Look out for the date. Mrs. D. A. Austin, an ambitious lady of our city, will open up an ice cream parlor and confectionery store at 210 Teparas avenue. Such a place is in great demand at this season of the year, and we hope that the new enterprise will receive a liberal patronage. Judge Crawford, who far 12 years was the police justice of the peace in our city, died at his home last Saturday. The judge during his entire term of office meted out the square deal policy to all. The colored citizens of this city by the loss of Judge Crawford have lost a friend. Marvelous as it may seem, many citizens of this city do not tire of being duped by oily-tongued, welldressed individuals who drop into our city from who knows where, and often drift to the same place after disgracing themselves at the expense of some of our best and most respected citizens. Oscar Hudson will leave in a few days for Los Angeles, Calif. GREAT FALLS. MONT. The L. A. S. of U. B. met at the pleasant home of Mrs. V. M. Brooks Thursday evening.

Roberson, Cho. and Org.; Mrs. Sam Porter, chaplain. Much credit is due the ex-officers of this organization for the faithfulness in performing their duties. We only ask that the new may do as well or even better. Rev. W. L. N. Baker of Anaconda was in the city a few days this week. Mrs. Lash, the evangelist, failed to put in her appearance at the special meetings last week. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD tend the institute at Helena in May. Get ready for quarterly meeting.

Mr. Robert Parker has moved to Denver and joined his family at 2355 Arapahoe street. Mr. Albert Jackson is down from Freeland after a severe illness of pneumonia. Mr. D. K. Bradley and Mrs. McSpadden were in the city from Freeland one day last week. Mr. Reader Galbreath spent three days in the Capitol City doing business with the smelters in regard to treatment of a large shipment of ores from his lease. TRINIDAD. COLO. Mr. Rhodes, Grand Master of the order of U. B. of F. was a visitor in our city for four days. There was a banquet given in his honor Thursday evening by a club of men which was organized for the purpose of organizing a U. B. of F. lodge. The order was set up on Friday evening. Mr. Rhodes is very much pleased at the success the Trinidad people have made, as there is a large number of members, and he thinks he has established one of the best lodges in the state. He visited the S. M. T. and was received with great honor. We wish Mr. Rhodes and the new organization much success. Baxter's BULLHEAD 5 CENT CIGAR The Baxter Cigar Co., Denver.

Patent Seoured on Article te Be Used by Worshipers. Thomas Sault enjoys the unique distinction of having secured a pat ent on an article to be employed by worshipers, says the New Haven Pal- ladium. He has assigned his patent to Charles Gay, the well known poli- ticilan, and it is to be placed upon tne market at once. The invention is described in the e@tters patent as “The Chaplet and Shrine of the Holy Rosary.” The chaplet and shrine of the holy rosary consists of @ case, in whicao is set of rollers, on which ig rolled a web which may be roiled or un- rolled, Upon the face of the web is a series of pictures appropriate to the prayers of which the several beads on the rogary are reminders. The case is so arranged that a light can be set behind the picture. An arra ement. for burning a pair ot canc.es is provided in front of the shrine. When the candles are lighted the effect is very beautiful. Those desir. ing to use Mr. Sault’s invention kneel in front of the shrine. When the appropriate prayer is uttered oxe of the rollers is turned by means of & projecting knob and a picture is revealed. This operation is continued until the entire rosary has been gone through Mr. Gay is making extensive ar rangements to nandle the invention, and it is expected there wil! be 4 rt demand for it from devout per. sons. PASSION AND THE HEALTH. Some Emotions Tend to Proiong anc Others to Shorten Life. “The passions’ effect on the health fe not sufficiently regarded,” said a physician. “The passion which is best for the health is avarice. It keeps One cool, encourages regular and in- dustrious habits, leads to abstemicus: ness and makes against all excess. And hence, the avaricious, the misers, live to a great age. The mis- ers of history were all noted for their longevity. Rage is very bad for one. This passion causes an irregular, in- termittent beating of the beart, and the intermittency in ume may be come chronic. Hatred creates fever. If we hate we grow lean. This hot passion eats us like a flame. Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart and the brain, and, therefore, we should never permit ourselves to be afraid. But the strangest effects of all have been caused by the passion of grief. The medical books record cases where, coming suddenly, in a violent shock, it has caused a loss of blood from the lungs in one person, paraly- eis of the tongue in another and a failure of sight or temporary blind- Bess in a third.” Hard on Chicago.

So he wired his friend, asking him to send a copy as soon as practicable. He was startled to re estve the following in reply: “No seekers after God in Chicago.” § he Ceadeiss+ssssesenn 5 ; a We are now pleased to announce to 4 the public that we are now locating at 205714 Larimer street with all kinds of { hair goods and ornamental goods of all kinds, and we also announce we § q have a full line of millinery in the ’ latest Parisian style in hats and bon- nets of all kinds.

It is a company presenting the novelty of a woman interlocutor and having another filling soubrette parts. The minstrel features are in the hands of such eminent comedians as Tom Briggs and Gordon Collins. They are funny. They look funny when they come on the stage and keep at it until they are off. The singing and dancing presented something original for the company is supplied with a variety of artists in these lines. Apart from these excellencies, there are two specialties that are worth the money. Layton on the slack wire doing his turn with three lighted lamps surpassed anything ever seen on the Denver stage. He is a neat performer and thoroughly original. Drakero, the contortionist, literally begins where others leave off. The ease with which he takes any posture, performs the most intricate moves, makes him a drawing card for the minstrels second to none. The whole is concluded by a one-act farce that brings the house down with laughter. The company is touring this state and Wyoming in the immediate future. MANITOU, COLO. Mr. Wm. Tuppin is ill at the residence of Mrs. Bethel on Deer Path. Mr. James Pugh of Sheridan, Wyo., is here for the summer and employed at Hiawatha Gardens. Mr. and Mrs. L.

While here they subscribed for this paper to be sent to their Chicago address. Would Consider the Other Place. Would Consider the Other Place. In a small Missouri town there lives a good deacon who, despite his harsh, hoarse voice, always joins vociferously in the singing at church. In the same town is a little boy who has become the proud possessor of a gorgeous string of profanity, which he is very fond of displaying. His mother, finding her arguments had no appreciable effect in expurgating from the youthful vocabulary the objectionable words, sent him to the deacon, in whom she had all confidence, to see if the latter could not put a stop to the swearing habit. That dignitary pictured to the boy the beauties of heaven in vivid language, and then told him that those who take the Lord's name in vain can never enter there. The boy pondered a moment. "What do folks do in heaven, deacon?" he asked. "Oh, play harps and sing." "Are you going there to play harps and sing when you die, deacon?" "I hope to, son," replied the deacon, modestly. "Then what's --- like?" asked the boy earnestly, after some thought. Denver's Leading Undertaker THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC The undertaking business of Quinn J. Gilmore, at 1921 Arapahoe street, is nowadays pointed out as one of the very successful ventures among Denver colored people. Practically all the funerals that are of colored people are in his charge. This has come after some months of waiting and working, of doubts and vicissitudes and is the reward of good service maintained. In a degree that is true of few other businesses, the undertaker has to meet severe criticism and unfair comparison with white undertakers. It is rather because this line of work is new among us as a people, and it is overturning established custom for a colored man to care for the dead. This is in addition to the apprenticeship that men of our race have to serve at any kind of business. Yet Mr. Gilmore has come out victorious and has The "Son of Heaven." The countenance of the emperor of China, the son of heaven, is not often gazed upon by Europeans. One of the favored few says he has a melancholy, frightened look. His face is pale, and though it is distinguished by refinement and quiet dignity, it has none of the force of his martial ancestors, nothing commanding or imperial, but is altogether mild, delicate and kind. Essentially Manchu in features, his skin is strangely pallid. His face is oval shaped, with a long, narrow chin and a sensitive mouth, with thin, nervous lips. His nose is well shaped and straight, his eyebrows regular, and arched, while his eyes are unusually large and sorrowful in expression. The forehead is broad; the head large beyond the average. Altogether, the face of a decadent. The emperor is childless, and there is no designated successor or heir presumptive. The future of China is in the hands of the gods—and the dowager empress. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. less and less to meet the refusal of our people to leave their funerals to him, because this or that white undertaker buried some relative long ago. In the quality of the funeral furnishings, he has the best, in the scientific embalming of the dead, it is recognized as a fact that he is superior to white competitors and that bodies cared for by him look better than those of others. Success of any colored man pleases us, not alone for his sake but also for the inspiration it is to others. We are glad to recommend Mr. Gilmore to our people for good service, polite attention to their wants and reasonable financial arrangements. We are pleased at the manner in which our people have come to see the logic of giving to one of their own people as much encouragement in business as he deserves and not letting old habit interfere. HAVE TITLES BUT NO MONEY Aristocracy of Italy, in General, Is Miserably Poor. There is an old Venetian adage which says "Conte che non conta non conta nient" ("a count who doesn't count [money] doesnt count for anything"). And this cynical proposition it is said represents fairly well the sentiment of the modern Italian. In that country the general feeling toward the titled aristocracy is of utter indifference. The lesser sort of titles are regarded as almost valueless, even by their possessors. "I have known," says a writer, "a case of a noble lord who followed the interesting occupation or a street scavanger. In a cafe in a certain Italian town I was habitually served by a waiter with the title of count and a name famous in Venetian history. And I am personally acquainted with a lord of ancient lineage whose title descended from a father engaged in the vocation of railway porter. In general, the aristocracy of Italy is miserably poor."

Strangers meeting in China may freely ask one another their names, provinces and their business aspects. It is always considered a impliment to an old Chinaman to ask him his age, but the middle aged do not as a rule care for the question, and their answers can rarely be depended upon. It is also good form in China to ask the number and sex of a man's children, also if his father and mother are still living. His wife, however, must not be mentioned, even in the most indirect manner. Friends meeting, either or both in sead chairs, stop their bearers at once and get out with all possible expedition. The same rule applies to acquaintances meeting on horseback. The Nile Stripped of Romance. Capt. E. S. Grogan, author of "The Nile as I Saw It," gives this description of a bit of scenery near the headwaters of the river of Egypt: 'A long, slimy pool of putrefying reeds, where foul fish foregather and great pythons writhe and gorge themselves on hideous toads and slither, long, gleaming bands of gold, through labyrinths of foetid green and purple spume; where the fireflies dance, great butterflies flash, dragon-files glint, and the suck-suck of swamp, the roar of huge-bellied frogs, the cicada's scream, merge in a sad minor-key; where in the ceaseless struggle between fruitlion and decay, death wins." Ever Notice Thief You have looked at a clock thou sands of times and yet not know that the four I's which are in place of the usual IV. are there because of the obstinacy of a king of France. When Henry de Vick carried to Charles V the first really accurate clock, the monarch informed him that the IV was wrong, and should be changed to III. Vick said, "You are wrong your majesty." Whereat the king thundered out, "I am never wrong! Take it away and correct the mistake!" From that time to this day the four I's have stood as the mark of the fourth hour. As to Red Hair. He is the handsomest boy in town and has the prettiest red hair, which he inherited from his great-grandmother. His name is Douglas; they call him Dot; age four. But why should every man, woman and girl make rude remarks about the color of his hair? Yesterday he thundered through his little pipe: "Aw, I wish verybody in town had red hair; then they wouldn't say so much about une!"—N. Y. Press. The Same Things Abroad. "I suppose," said Ascum, "you took in all the automobile races while you were in France?" "Of course," replied Skorcher. "What's new in the way of motors over there?"

To one of the fortunate cotton farmers there a neighbor addressed the following note recently: "Will you please lend me two bales of cotton to take a mortgage off my mule?

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Expert Chinese cook Hot and Cold Baths Need of Scientific Forestry in the United States Is Very Great. A forest fire is a terrific thing to fight when it once gets a fair start. Often it is practically beyond human control not long after its destructive work begins. And it is a prodigious waster of the natural resources of the United States. Probably no other country suffers so much from fires in forests, says the Cleveland Leader. If the timber of America could be saved from damage and destruction by fire the day of the exhaustion of the forest wealth with which this republic was wonderfully endowed would be indefinitely postponed. Fires not only ruin trees ready for use, but kill millions of young saplings. They prevent reforesting in many wide areas which have been denuded of their original timber. The tragic news from northern Michigan and neighboring districts in Wisconsin is a grimly impressive reminder of the havoc and peril of forest fires. The story is old. It has been told over and over in the United States. Many thousand lives have been cut short, in the aggregate, by fires in the woods. Uncounted millions of dollars worth of extremely useful property has gone up in smoke. The nation's resources have been wasted. There is room for vast improvement in the guarding and care of American forests. It is possible to prevent many fires which would be terribly destructive if permitted to get well started. Others can be put out while still small enough to control. The whole wide field of forestry is open for progress which will mean much to the United Statea. SPLITTING UP THE NICKEL Practice of New Orleans Stores and Markets With Small Purchasers. "You would be surprised to know the vast number of children among the poorer classes in New Orleans who do not clearly understand the value and function of the nickel" said in storekeeper downtown, "and it all results from the popularity of the quarantie system which has always been so much a part of life in this city. They are the small buyers, who run all kinds of errands for the little family to which they belong. "Purchases, amounting in individual cases to less than 5 cents daily amount in the aggregate to thousands of dollars. It is no small part of the retail traffic of the city. The children split a nickel up into very small pieces, buying a penny's worth of this and a penny's worth of that, until they leave the store or the market with an armful of little packages which will represent the day's supplies. Explanation by the Court. In an appeal from a justice's court the justice accompanied the transcript with the following explanation: "This affidavit is overruled by the court on the ground of ignoring the court when requested to wait and hear the opinion of the court in regard to a continuance. And with his hat on his head, a cigar in his mouth, the said James Harvey went out, saying he did not care what I done with the case.—S. H. Mitchell, Justice of the Peace." Kate Vaughan, who died recently in Johannesburg, is alleged by the English to have been the originator of the skirt dance. She was an all round actress and had been on the stage from early childhood, the parts of Little Nell and Little Em'ly, in "David Copperfield," being among her preliminary triumphs. She first attempted her dancing in the "tempestuous petticoat" so long ago that few living exponents of the art will care to contest the claim that she was first. It is said that the manager of the London theater in which Miss Vaugha first gave the dance cheerfully paid a weekly bill of $40 for the renewal of her skirts. A Puzzling Calculation. We all like to puzzle our brain over things which give certain and strange results, but which we cannot explain. Here's a puzzle that puzzles everybody: Take the number of your living brothers, double the amount, add to it three, multiply the result by five, add to it the number of living sisters, multiply the result by ten, add to it the number of deaths of brothers and sisters, subtract 150 from the result. The right-hand figure will be the number of deaths, the middle figure the number of living sisters and the left the number of living brothers.—Canton Saturday Roller. Lawyers' Fees There was a time when lawyers' gowns had pockets in the back, in which a client could deposit an "honorarium" without giving a sordid, mercantile character to his relations with his counsel. But ex-Judge Porter says the law isn't what it was even fifty years ago, and "has passed the days of the honorarium. Lawyers are simply the paid employees of their clients." One of the evidences of the change is that the Law association is arguing a bill to protect lawyers against the loss of contingent fees by settlement of cases out of court. Contingent fees were unprofessional once. It will also be noticed as a change that it is now necessary to protect lawyers from their clients.—Philadelphia Record. The Thrifty Editor. Not long ago an Eastern Senator received a request from a country editor in a mountainous section for a big package of seeds. He desired a goodly number of packages, which were forthwith sent to him, as it was supposed, for free distribution among the farmers of his vicinity. The Senator had been in the habit of sending out big packages of the seeds furnished by the Agricultural Department, to prominent men in different localities, who disposed of them where they would do good. Thus the Senator acquired knowledge of a new use for the generous gratuity of the government. It wasn't long thereafter that a letter came from a rival editor in the same town, complaining that the first-named knight of the quill was using the seeds to boom the circulation of his paper, by offering packages of seeds to those who subscribed with him.—Washington Post.

GOOD POINTER FOR GAMBLERS How to Make Money Out of Easy- Going Strangers. "I thought I was pretty wise to all sorts of games," said a gambler, "but I've just been beaten out of a five-spot as easily as though I came from Cohoes. A friend and I had been standing in the doorway of a hotel betting on the odd or even numbers of the next car to pass, and I was loser. Then the other fellow suggested that I try to call a coin, head or tail, for $5, as a chance to get my money back. I agreed. He slapped a quarter on the back of his hand and I said 'heads.' It was a tall, and I was a five out. "The experience was worth it, though, for he told me the game after Joshing me for a good thing. It is instinct, he said, for almost every one in calling a coin to say head, so he always placed the coin tails up when the other man was to call it. He said that the game worked nine times out of ten, and he didn't really consider it unfair, because he was practically betting me that I would say 'heads,' though I didn't know it. I like the game, and I'm going to try it on some of the wise ones I know. I'll bet it works, too." Stories of Wolves' Ferocity. A terrible encounter with wolves took place recently near Folksham, in Moldavia, Roumania, recently. A party of seven peasant carol singers were set upon close to the little station of Siblea by a pack of wolves furious with hunger. The young fellows, who were unarmed, except for their sticks, fought with the courage of despair, and one after the other was dragged to the ground and horribly mangled, until three alone were standing badly mauled, but still struggling. At this juncture a train steamed up, the passengers rushed to the aid of the apparently doomed trio, and succeeded with shouts and sticks in driving off the terrible beasts of prey. At no great distance from the spot several peasants who were sleighing to the market with a litter of pigs only escaped by abandoning their living freight one by one, and only reached their destination as the last pig was thrown to the wolves. Good Night, Brief Day. So little done, so little done. And soon comes setting of the sun. So little said, so little said. And blue skies deepening to red. So short a time to backward gaze-- The sky is filled with purple haze. So short a time to look afar-- The veil has fallen from a star. Good night, brief day, adown the dark float dewy memories, and, hark! To you and me fair angels call Beyond the moonlit, dreamland wait! And thou with Time and I with Sleep a happy, holy cryot shall keep. It is considered an insult and extremely indelicate in India to refer to a woman's nose ring. It is the badge of wifehood, even more sacred than our gedding ring, set always with the costliest and most beautiful jewels a woman possesses and the last she will part with. Every orthodox Hindoo woman has her pak chabi, or "nose key," as it is also called, usually two, one of precious jewels and costly pearls; the other a little plain gold safety pin, which is slipped in just as the great circle is being drawn out, for the nose must never for a moment be left free.

Governor Buchtel has signed the Anfenger bill which regulates the use of secret and benevolent society emblems. The protest of the various lodges and societies that this bill was aimed at colored organizations and was a piece of class legislation that would be used to cripple colored fraternities was ignored by the governor. Since it is possible for men of different opinions both to be honest in their intentions, we can wait the outcome of the bill before passing an opinion on the governor's acceptance of this kind of legislation. But there is one circumstance attendant upon the consideration of the measure that we must enter protest concerning. That is the failure of the state's executive to make opportunity for the colored committee to set forth their objections to the bill. However useless it might have been, however firmly he may have believed that he was right in endorsing the measure, he still is the governor of the weakest citizen and from the head of the nation down to the smallest official it is usual to grant audiences on all matters of public interest that the least as well as the greatest may feel that they have had a fair chance. Should this law be used as colored people fear that it will be, the governer has practically neglected the only means he had for convincing them of his good intentions. CULTURE IS MORE THAN CLOTHES DEEP. The presentation of a really meritorious amateur theatrical production this week was met with jeers, laughter and hisses from what was supposed to be an intelligent and cultured audience. Not everyone present participated in the disturbance, but such a large number did, that only plucky persistency on the part of the performers, enabled the others to see what really good dramatic work can be done here. PAGE & THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. RMS. .....$1.00 Three months.....1 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. What makes it more shameful is that the some of us who have kept silent in theatres during worse productions, should have less manners simply because colored people were the performers and the audience. It is generally said of us that we esteem more highly whatever is the product of the brain of the white man than of our own and the audience Tuesday night did its best to prove this. Apart from any questions of the merit of the entertainments given for the public, it is clearly the characferistic of well bred people to conduct themselves with propriety at all times. "Coon Shouts" fit some people's character and they are too ignorant to understand high class efforts. But granting that, they are under the same obligation to respect colored people who do understand better things as they are to respect white audiences. It is the duty of our race to make our aristocracy one of brains and not of clothes. Sap head dudes with the latest styles, empty pockets and wooden heads are to be pitied, not courted. Fashionable girls who despise honest endeavor and suffer their parents to support them in idleness, are equally unfortunate. Outbrsts such as we now criticise could not happen if the essentials of culture and decency were in use, and not merely the incidents. We need to take thought. Getting to gatherings at the last hour, disturbing church services with unnecessary talk, deporting ourselves on the streets bolsterously are not high crimes, but show an absence of regard for those who do respect the proprieties. And since all Negroes are classed together in adverse criticism, it is detrimental to us all that the few are boorish.
