Zion CHURCH 40 Annual Picnic CRYSTAL LAKE July 18 THE BEST EVER MASONS' PICNIC DR. AND MRS. McCLAIN RECEIVE EIGHTEENTH YEAR. Zion CHURCH 40 Anr THE BEST MASON For years the mention of a picnic given by the Masons has always brought joy to those inclined to be discouraged and despondent in the summer. Well do they know their conduct. But Tuesday night was a double success in nearly every way. Everybody got happy and stald so. The old people sat by the side of the cool lake and mused with the heavens while the young people danced in a crowded pavilion the always refreshing song, "In the Good Old Summer Time." Everybody enjoyed the fragrance from the verdant trees and flowers. The purpose of the picnic, to cancel the mortgage on their land, DR. AND MRS. M Dr. McClain royally received at the ideal residence of Mrs. Shelburne, which was decorated with swinging Chinese and Japanese lanterns all beautifully lit up and suspended from the porch, with large comfortable chairs placed in very attractive positions around the porch, with the large and elegant electric arch over the door, with the house all brilliantly lighted and with many friends and acquaintances from far and near made a scene Saturday night which was one of the most congenial, happy and lively occasions experienced in Denver in many a day. The hearty, substantial and glad welcome given to Mr. and Mrs. Dr. McClain will rarely ever be duplicated. With the --- DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY JULY 5, 1907. seemed to inspire many people to continuously spend their money and thereby help erase every letter on the instrument. To say that a "good time" was had is but to half express may not add to their already brilliant crown, but only to emphasize that the public is in hearty sympathy with their struggle. Cooperation and enthusiasm can and will pay any debt. Probably to John Contee, more than any one member, is due the success of the picnic. Mr. Contee is an indefatigable worker and anything he goes at his motto is always "Success," and he surely made good in big letters this time. Doctor's broad smile (no doubt elated over his recent achievement), and with Mrs. McClain's modest, winsome manner in receiving congratulations made a picture that will be hard to erase from the minds of the guests. Too much credit could not be given to the young ladies, gowned in their beautiful white dresses, most daintily and elaborate, made it their personal business to see that everyone was royally received. Every one of the guests after having congratulated the happy couple sincerely wished them a long, pleasant and undisturbed journey in the matrimonial boat over life's tempestuous sea. The Stateman truly extends its hearty congratulations to the young pair and sincerely hopes a long, cheerful and successful voyage. State Historian & Natural History Society RIDAY JULY 5, 1907. C CRYSTAL LAKE J HOWARD UNIVERSITY The Charter, Its Departments, Its Presidents, Its Facilities, Its Graduates, the Older and the Younger, the Security of Its Past, the Future in the Light of Its Past and in Its Doubts and Fears. On March the third, 1867, there was approved an act creating Howard University. It read as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled: That there be established and is hereby established, in the District of Columbia, a university for the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences, under the name, style, and title of "The Howard University." After making provision for certain requisites of the corporation it provided in the following: And be it further enacted that the university shall consist of the following departments, and such others as the board of trustees may establish: (1) a Normal Department, (2) a College Department, (3) a Theological Department, (4) a Law Department, (5) a Medical Department, and (6) an Agricultural Department. First the Normal Department is named. It will be clearly seen that this was the proper order of arrangement. Teachers were the need of the hour and this was the first thought of the founders of the university. Second came the college to train those from the point reached by the normal teachers to higher planes of usefulness and preparation for the responsibilities of citizenship. Then came the Theological Department. It was to train man to guide the people who needed guidance most in the religious manner of life. Next came the Law Department. Sumner, Hoar, Evarts and Edmunds, comprehending, as they did, in their mental grasp, the truths of the universe, saw the full significance of training men in the nature and constitution of government; seeing doubtless, as they ex- --- July 18 colored lawyer would stand as the pressed in private, the time when the great bulwark between a new country, with new ideals and a new slavery, pushing forward the cause of good government and directing the weak and oppressed in the proper paths of life. The Medical Department was next organized that men might be trained to minister unto the sick and become the good men of the community, the trusted disciples of the humble master, always alleviating suffering and helping forward the cause of humanity. An Agricultural Department followed. It did some good work, but in the nature of things, because of environment, could not en The founder of the University knew of the bitter enmities of the "poor whites" against the blacks, and thought that here would be an opportunity to destroy that bitterness. The close of the civil war made a new world for the whites as well as for the blacks. Each clans had new economic opportunities and a common aim for self improvement. It was thought by Sumner and the men who labored with him, that to educate boys together, though of different races, when they had common aims of advancement, would destory the bitterness of a regrettable past and solve a question which had cost so much of blood and tears. The principle was right, and it is the only way. Howard University has had three presidents. General O. O. Howard, W. W. Patton, and J. E. Rankin. Dr. John Gordon occupied the position for a time and retired. At present Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield is occupying the position, but we do not include him in the list of presidents for the reason that he has not yet been inaugurated. The men first named were men of power and truth, Dr. Patton being one of the greatest men of his day and one of the greatest presidents any university ever had. Dr. J. E. Rankin was a man of spirit and genius, a scholar of the highest type and carried with him in his work a lofty dignity which the (Continued on page 2) PAGE 10.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO WORLD NOT WHOLLY BAD. Life Can Be Very Much as We Make It, After All. In the rotunda of the court house, two men were philosophizing. One said the people of to-day were not as those of olden time—they were selfish, unmindful of the interests of others, he said. The other contended that the world was better; getting better every day. Ten minutes later the two were in the court room. A young man of thirty years was arraigned on charge of having attempted to take his life by slashing his throat with a jackknife. "I haven't a friend in the world," said the accused in reply to a question put by the court as to why he had tried to die. "Poor devil. Why did they interfere with his plans? He'd never be missed," said the pessimist to the optimist, as he walked out of court. The unfortunate was held in ball and sent back to the pen with other prisoners. When court had djourned the optimist called one the officers aside and said: "I'm a stranger here; my home's in Michigan; but I want to help that man who says he has no friends." The unfortunate was brought forth, handed a five-dollar bill along with a few words of cheer by the man from Michigan, and finally balled out. The pair went away together. After all, dear reader, is the world not what we, ourselves, make it? Such incidents as the above seem to indicate it, don't they?—Brooklyn Eagle. FELT TENTS NO NOVELTY. Have Long Been Used as Shelter for Campaigning Soldiers. A Copenhagen dispatch tells of a Dane who has invented a new military tent fashioned of felt. Possibly there may be some new method of treating the material, but felt tents are not a new device. They played their part in eastern history at a date sufficiently late to be in most people's recollection. The Turcoman tribes of Transcaspla, not to seek further, have used tents of felt for ages. The use of them had a curious effect upon a Russian expedition thirty-five years ago. Gen. Lomakin assailed the stronghold of the Tekkes and fired in terrific volleys of grape and shell among the tents of felt. But no serious damage seems to have been done, and when the troop attempted the storming of the felt en campment they were repulsed and flinched again. ROGUES HAVE A GALLERY. Diamond "Fences" Collect Pictures of Government Officials. A recent visitor to Antwerp, which city is now the chief market in Europe for stolen jewels, was taken by a friend "in the know" to a house used as an office by illicit diamond buyers. In one room he saw a large collection of photographs, the first to catch his eye being that of Major William of the United States Treasury Department, at Paris. An inquiry revealed the fact that all persons of an official character who are considered dangerous by the gang are honored by having their photographs placed in the collection. Should the original of the photograph set foot in Antwerp he would be shadowed by secret service police employed by the receivers of the stolen goods. Phone Main 8003 L, D. Richey, Proprietor.

Story Told by Old Gentleman's Neighbor and Chum Gives Him High Representation for Stupidity—Cabman on to His Business. Zebulon Athow and Jeduthan Willoughby are the two wags of a Connecticut village not a hundred miles from New York, and each is the butt of the other's jibes and yarns. As a matter of fact, they are the best of friends, but whenever one thinks out or otherwise gets hold of an idea involving especial stupidity he is sure to attribute it to the other, and all this to the intense delight of the rest of the villagers. I happened to be in "the store" when Willoughby came in. Somebody, just to start him going, spoke of Athow as a pretty smart fellow. "What?" said Willoughby. "Zeb Athow? Wiy, he's so green that when he gits into the hereafter, eternity'll come to an end before he catches fire. Did you hear about him going to Yonkers? "Wal, it was this way; Zeb he had to go to Yonkers fer somethin', so he gits out his g'og'aphy to see where Yonkers is, an' finds he's got to go to New York first an' change cars there. Bein's there's only one railroad from here to New York, he managed to git that fur all right. He knowed he was on the New Haven road an' that Yonkers was on the New York Central, so when he gits to New York he asks a cabman at the deepo where the New York Central deepo is. "'It's about four miles from here,' says the cabman. 'Git right into my cab an' I'll drive you over there.' "So.Zeb he gits into the cab an' the feller drives him around awhile, geein' an' hawin' till he gits Zeb all twisted up as to where he is. Then he sets him down at another door of the same deepo and charges him $4 for it. "Jest then the cabman seen a policeman stan'in' off a little ways eyein' 'em sort 'o suspicious like, so he says to Zeb: 'You see that man in the blue clo'es over there?' 'Yes,' says Zeb. 'Wal,' says the cabman, 'that's my boss. If he knows I charged you only four dollars he'll make you pay the other two. The regular fare is six. So, if he asks you how much you paid, you tell him it's none o' his business. "Sure enough, the policeman comes up to Zeb bimeby an' asks him how much he paid. "‘None o' yer business,' says Zeb. 'You 'tend to your affairs an' I'll 'tend to mine.' "Wal, after Zeb got aboard o' the New York Central train he seen the policeman stan'in' on the deepo platform, so Zeb goes out on the hind end o' the last car, an' when the train gits again' so fast that the policeman can't ketch it. Zeb, he hollers back at him: "Ya-a-a-h, you feller with the blue clo'es! I only paid that hackman four dollars, an' I'd like to see you git the other two, gol dum you!'"—Brooklyn Eagle. Gift to King of Norway. A pair of magnificent carriage horses has been shipped from Hull to Norway. They were from the Royal Mews, Windsor, and a gift from King Edward to the King of Norway. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Douglas Wilson, who used to be at Berlin, N. H., was known to be quite a hunter. He was also known to be "a stranger to the truth." In one of his favorite stories he relates how he had been tramping around the woods considerably and had found no game until last he espied a woodchuck sitting right at the mouth of its hole. He knew that if he just wounded it it would manage to crawl into its hole, so he decided to get as close as he could, fire, and see if he couldn't get it before it got to its hole, if only wounded. He fired, dropped his gun and rushed toward the woodchuck. In concluding, he says: "Perhaps you won't believe me, boys, but just as I grabbed that woodchuck the charge of shot hit me in the back." Candles Light Up Church. In Calvary church, in Fourth avenue, a Christmas eve service was lighted entirely by candles, 2,500 of them outlining the arches and running along the aisles.

Sir Edwin Cornwall, chairman of the London county council, is in the limelight just now because of his plan for a "congress of capitals" to further international goodfellowship ahong the cities of the world, as expressed in the term "entente municipal." He thinks also that the school children of the world can be made universal peace envoys and says: "The London county council, being an educational authority, responsible for 1,000 schools, 20,000 teachers and nearly 1,000,000 students, should lead the way in the matter of affording facilities for the interchange of scholars between the various cities of the world. Cecil Rhodes' scholarship scheme did this to some extent, and now here is a scheme which can be carried out by the municipalities. Japan has had students distributed all over the world for the last twenty-five years, and her recent successes are due largely to the fact that she had trained her men in every capital."

Time Lost by Spectacles Dr. Abraham Huntsinger has just given out a table relative to the time lost by persons wearing glasses. He says it's nearly time wasted, and costly time to some. Dr. Huntsinger bases his figures on the study of mankind for years. He says the people who wear spectacles remove them and put them on again at least five times a day, and figures that 20 seconds are required for each such operation. The man or woman who carries glasses for a period of twenty-five years (the period being placed low by the doctor) will lose thirty-two days of eight hours each as a result of the habit to take off and replace eyeglasses. Indianapolis News. Double Trouble Paul Hull, the well-known Chicago raconteur, says he witnessed a scene in a swell restaurant one evening not long ago, that had in it a sublimation of much domestic worry. A young man was sitting at a table with his wife and a party of friends when a tall and imposing blonde passed who gave the young man recognition and a dangerous questioning look. "Who is that woman?" the young wife asked. "Now, don't you go bothering me about who she is," the young man replied. "I will have trouble enough explaining to her who you are." The Formative Period. The alien had just arrived. "Welcome to the land of freedom," said his fellow expatriates. "And what do you intend to do here?" For a moment the newcomer was thoughtful as he gingerly felt the scars of the knout. "Would you advise me," he asked in return, "to devote my share of the blessed boon of liberty to abusing the government that accords it, or begin by killing a policeman?" Then did they cheer lustily, knowing that, whatever his ultimate decision, his heart was in the right place. Philadelphia Lodge. WANTED ONLY FRESH CHICKENS Bride Had Her Mind Made Up to Take No Chances. Harvard's football coach, W. T. Reid, Jr., was talking about the danger of overtraining, and the staleness that overtraining brings on. "What, precisely, is staleness?" freshman asked. Mr. Reid smiled. "Don't you know what it is to be stale?" he said. "Well, it is time you learned. You are as bad as the girl a friend of mine married last October. "This girl, a few days after she had set up housekeeping, went to a poultry dealer's and said: "Have you any fresh roasting chickens? "Have I?" said the dealer. 'Well, madam, just look here.' "And he showed her his back yard, crowded with handsome live chickens that had just come in from his farm in the country. "How many do you want, madam?' he said. I'll kill them and send them up for you." "I want two if they're fresh,' the bride answered. 'But don't kill them unless you're positively sure of their freshness. My husband will only eat fresh chicken.'" TOOK OLD GENTLEMAN'S ADVICE Just the Council Pond Lover Was Looking For. "The late Bishop Thomas Frederick Davies of Detroit," said a Detroit man, "once told me an interesting story of an elopement. He figured in this elopement as the officiating clergyman. It was in Philadelphia, during his rectorship of St. Peter's. "It seems that the proprietor of one of the largest dry goods houses in Philadelphia had noticed for some months the melancholy of his head clerk, a young man whom he held in high regard. "The clerk's pallor and increasing leanness, his frequent sighs and absent-mindedness worried the millionaire proprietor. He questioned the young man daily. And finally the clerk admitted to him that he was in love. "'Well,' said the head, 'marry her. Your salary is big enough.' "'Ah,' said the clerk sadly, 'you do not understand. She belongs to one of the first families of Philadelphia and her father is a millionaire.' "Well, maybe he wasn't when he married. You have a good position and a good name. You are a fair match for any girl,' said the other. "It's no use,' sighed the clerk. 'Her parents would not listen to me for one moment.' "Then,' said the other, 'elope with her.' "Do you advise that?' the clerk asked excitedly. "Certainly, I do. Is she—do I know her?' "Yes. She will be at your dance at Devon to-morrow night.' "Well, see here," said the head. 'I'll have my coachman out in front of my gate at 9:30. Rush the girl off into town and marry her. I'll arrange with a clergyman for you.' "By Jove,' said the clerk, 'I'll do it.' "And he did. The next night Dr. Davies performed the ceremony and an hour or two later the millionaire found his daughter missing and was telegraphing in every direction to the the young couple to come home and all would be forgiven." DEFENDS THE SPIDER LITTLE VENOM IN THEIR BITE SAYS A WRITER. Belief That They Have Been the Cause of Many Deaths Declared an Old Superstition—Have Done Much Service to Human Race. When in doubt, charge it to a spider, says the Brooklyn Eagle. That slight creature has been held responsible for deaths and illnesses wherewith she had nothing more to do than the United States has to do with brigandage in Morocco. Yet the familiar newspaper announcement, "Killed by a spider," is before us again, and we read how the suffering Mrs. Wilson of Knoxville died in twenty-four hours as a result of a spider bite, her body being swollen to twice its normal size before she resigned consciousness. If we are to believe the entomological authorities in Washington, who are paid by the government to know, we have only one kind spider that is really poisonous enough to hurt, and that is a little fellow, marked with red and black, and not all black, as the Knoxville alarmists declare. Until last year the total number of deaths actually traceable to spider bites in this country was one. Possibly it may now be enlarged to two. We cling to our superstitions, and that of the deadliness of spider venom is one of them. A spider has enough of this acrid chemical to kill a fly, when the web is not strong enough to hold it, but the human subject has on various occasions—sometimes without knowing it—been subject to her surgery without other result than an irritation considerably less than is inflicted by a mosquito. When death results from so slight a cause it does not signify that the spider is dangerous. It means that the subject was in so perilous a condition of health that a pin scratch would have served as well to end life as the spider's trifling wound has done. Not many years ago the tarantula was regarded as sure and sudden death. The Southwestern miner who turned in without his boots and who found that half a dozen of these giant spiders had got into bed before him, made his will on becoming cognizant of this fact. Now he merely brushes them off, uses a little language and goes to sleep again. Even the rattlesnake has his apologists. And it is well to know these facts, not merely because we permit some useful animals to live who are doing their share to rid us of insect pests, but because we can amble about the world with a freer mind than our fathers could who suspected death in every moving form to which they were not accustomed. The spider has killed, we will say, two out of the many millions of human creatures that have inhabited this country, and has destroyed countless hosts of flies and mosquitoes, bearers of germs, which, but for her interference, might have poisoned 100,000 of us. Observe the spider, then, with equanimity. She will not harm enough to hurt The Elks made the first picnic of the season memorable by entertaining at Bloomfield Park a crowd that was the greatest that has yet been to a picnic in this city.

It isn't often that a mother goes back to the threshold of her own married life for the benefit of her own children. When she does she may tell them that "When I married your father he made $12 a week and he did not have any nest egg in the bank. He had been taking care of his mother and sister and the marriage of your aunt made our union possible. We had hardly a stick of furniture at the start, and it almost seemed as though you three older children were babies all together." But somehow these little families of a generation or so ago managed, for they loved each other. They worked and they did not have the foolish ideas about keeping up appearances that play such an important part and work such havoc in homes to-day. If the mother is the kind that is not ashamed of the simplicity and perhaps poverty of her early beginnings as a matron, she will endeavor to impress ideas of economy and truth upon her girls and also the paramount one that money is not essential to happiness but that the love of a good man and a quiet place called home are. Chicago Journal. THE FINISHING TOUCH NEEDED Kind Words of Farm Hand to Brilliant Young Artist. The late Henry Harland, author of "The Cardinal's Snuffbox" and other graceful stories, was once recounting at the Authors' club in New York, his experiences as editor of the famous "Yellow Book." Mr. Harland praised Aubrey Beardsley. "Though only a boy of twenty-one or so," he said, "Beardsley was as clever in the editorial as in the contributing capacity. He was, indeed, practically the art editor of the 'Yellow Book.' "I was fond of him. I once took a three days' walking trip with him. He sketched, of course, on the walk. He made a number of sketches in oil colors. And they were very artistic and shaggy. "A farm hand watched Beardsley finishing a particularly shaggy sketch one afternoon and said encouragingly: "'My lad, that won't be a bad picture after it's been sandpapered down a bit.'" ICE PREVENTS NEAT'S ESCAPE Novel Device Used for Preservation of Fruit en Route. The use of ice for heating purposes is one of the oddities of our modern civilization. Often it happens that a train carrying fruit from the south to the northern market encounters a cold spell while en route. If the temperature goes below a certain point the perishable merchandise will be ruined. But it has been ascertained that such a misfortune may be prevented by covering the fruit car with a coat of ice—a thing easily accomplished by turning a hose upon it and allowing the water to freeze until the whole vehicle is enveloped in a glassy and glittering blanket. It may, indeed, be appropriately called a blanket, inasmuch as it prevents the radiation of heat from the interior of the car. The ice being a good non-conductor, the warmth is retained and the fruit, or possibly it may be vegetables, goes on its way unspoiled even by zero weather. Cars used for transporting oranges and other fruit from California to the east are often provided nowadays with large cylindrical "ice stoves," as they might be called, at each end, which, while useful in summer time for refrigeration, are filled with ice during a cold spell in winter. When the temperature outside is at zero or below, the ice, at thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit, is relatively warm, and thus the "stoves" described act as heaters. THOUGHT HIM SLOW TO LEARN. Friend's Medical Education Astonished Young Frenchman. A young Brockton physician tells the following about himself: Upon his graduation from Brown university he went home to the western part of the state for a few days, and on the street met a young Frenchman, one of his comrades of the Spanish 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." "Huh! You going to be doctor. How long dat take?" "I'll have to study four years, anyway." "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. Mode Lived Long in Captivity. After seventy-five years of captivity, female eagle owl has just died in an aviary in England. Brought from Norway in 1829, this bird within the last thirty years has reared no less than ninety young. Although the eagle owl is reputed to live to a great age, there appear to be but few recorded instances where the age could be definitely ascertained. A golden eagle which died at Vienna in 1719 was known to have been captured 104 years previously, and a falcon, of what species is not recorded, is said to have attained an age of 162 years. A white-headed vulture, taken in 1706 died in the zoological gardens at Vienna in 1824, thus living 118 years in captivity. Kipling on Physicians. Rudyard Kipling admires medical men, according to the Medical Age. At a dinner he said he had been thrown much in the company of physicians. He had seen them going to certain death with no hope of reward, because it was "business." He had also seen them handling cholera and smallpox, and, when dying therefrom, wiring for a substitute. He had seen them in Vermont manage a practice twenty miles in each direction, driving horses through eight feet of snow to attend an operation ten miles away, and digging their horses out of the earth and proceeding. PAGE 13. Natural Supposition. A professor of music had published a successful composition, and the revenues and honors were sufficient to warrant him in wearing a high silk hat. The elder members of the professor's family considered the new adornment with becoming pride, while the younger one viewed it with awe. The professor one evening was entertaining a number of guests with a harrowing tale. "My nerves were unstrung," he narrated. "It was midnight when I reached the bank building, and just as I had passed the entrance a black object glided softly across my path and made every one of my hairs stand on end." Little George contemplated his father's long locks for a few seconds, and then interrupted the curdling experience. "Say, papa," he declared, innocently, "you must have had on your high hat that night." "Postoffice Stone" Found. In the early history of Cape Colony, before the first permanent settlement had been made, it was the custom of the captains of passing ships to leave letters for Europe underneath a large stone on the shores of Table bay, to be called for by the next returning squadron. Several of these "postoffice stones" have been discovered and one is now in the entrance hall of the general postoffice in Cape Town. Another has just been found, built into the southwestern bastion of the castle. The stone must have been used in building the wall, which was completed in 1679, or more than fifty years after the date of the inscription it bears. It records the stay in Table bay of some English ships, the Lesser James and the Abigail. Herbert Spencer's Mental Rest. Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace tells Herbert Spencer's reason for living in a London boarding house with "rather a commonplace set of people—retired Indian officers and others": "He said that he had purposely chosen such a home in order to avoid the mental excitement of too much interesting conversation; that he suffered greatly from insomnia, and that he found that when his evenings were spent in commonplace conversation, learning the news of the day or taking part in a little music, he had a better chance of sleeping." Her Prayer. Agnes was often taken to week day service by a pious nurse, and one day as she was about to leave the house a teasing young uncle said, "Are you going to pray for me, Agnes?" She lifted her eyes of clearest, softest blue, and calmly answered, "No; I'm going to pray for chocolate creams." I think her prayer was answered as she wished. Her nightly prayer at that time was, "Give us this day our gravy bread!" She labored under a slight misapprehension as to the actual words of the prayer, but she knew what she wanted.—Harper's Magazine. Hindoos Boycott Foreign Sugar. The Hindoos are boycotting foreign sugar. A leaflet declaring that the sugar is refined with bone dust and ox blood has been distributed broadcast by agitators. PAGE 14. CLOSE WATCH ON CZAR'S LIFE. Carefully Picked Men and Women Make This Their Whole Duty. One of the most interesting features of official life in St. Petersburg is the intricate system by which the czar's life is safeguarded. Since the tragic death of the Grand Duke Sergius the spy system has become more complicated than ever, until now there are whole regiments of officials and carefully picked men and women whose duty it is to guard the czar. These officials are scattered through the ministry of the interior, the secret polices and the ministry of war. The inner circle of the system is the dreaded "third section" of the secret police—the men who are charged with the guardianship of the czar's person. These men are highly educated, are artists in disguise and possess extraordinary knowledge and power. High officials, nominally their superiors in rank, dread the vicinity of one of these men, lest their most innocent act—a call on a friend, a journey for health or pleasure—be construed into a sinister act demanding explanation. Harper's Weekly. Grades of Glory. "Who's the pompous old dog?" "He's the man who proved that Ambassador Porter's find wasn't really the body of John Paul Jones." "But look at the other old dog. He's twice as pompous. Wonder who he is?" "Oh, he's the fellow who prove there never was a John Paul Jones." Philadelphia Bulletin. How Blacks Dance. Queensland Government Aboriginal Settlement, on Frazer's Island, holds a weekly dance for the blacks. Among the bundles of old clothes sent to the settlement there are often heal gowns, so the gins sport decollet dresses. Neither sex wears boots. Both sexes have to dance separately.—Bulletin, Sydney. Useful Bed Hammock. When convalescence has begun, a patient usually suffers much from the restlessness which is generally a symptom of this stage of illness. A bed hammock will be found a wonderful relief in cases where the patient is tired of one position, while it forms a good "stepping stone" to the next period, when a couch is permissible. Woman's Incapacity. If anything is ever to be done to remedy the conversational stagnation in this country it will have to be through encouraging women in the art of argument, says Ladies Field. As it is, most women are not only totally incapable of arguing, but lose their tempers or burst into tears when unable to impose their views on others. The fog of love not only blinds the eye; it takes away the taste, so that a young fellow in love with a girl as ugly as a barrel of salt will, after she has eaten a dinner of boiled onions and parsnips, kiss her and swear that he can sip honeydew from her lips, and herein he discounts the honey-bee --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Los Angeles Proposes to Go 240 Away for Supply. A notable water works project proposed by Los Angeles, Cal., for a better supply of water. Never before, so far as we know, has an American city proposed to go so far afield (240 miles) for water, and with the exception of the pipe line for the supply of the Coolgardie gold fields of western Australia do we not know of so long a water supply conduit anywhere in the world. The Coolgardie pipe line is only thirty inches in diameter, but it is about 330 miles in length. Instead of being a gravity line water is pumped through it to an elevation of 1,313 feet. This lift is distributed between nine pumping stations, and the nominal daily capacity of the conduit and pumps is 6,000,000 gallons. The causes for going so far for water in western Australia and in California are in some respects similar, but differ materially all that at Los Angeles there is a highly developed and prosperous community instead of a series of gold-mining camps. For years Los Angeles has obtained a hand-water enough to supply a most pressing needs at least, but the future and the of both town and country around it depend upon large increase in water supply. The nearly sourced not sufficient for the wants of the city and its suburbs are more than needed. If the future of the city will warrant so large an outlay, and that future certainly looks bright, then Los Angeles is to be congratulated on having at least solved a water problem which has been more perplexing and serious than outsiders have suspected and than most of its own citizens even yet fully realize. Changeable Electric Signs. Brilliant effects for electric signs are now to be readily obtained with little cost by the use of small colored transparent caps which fit over the rounded ends of the incandescent bulbs. This permits the owner of a changeable electric sign to alter the legend at will and to indulge in the use of colors without the necessity of keeping on hand a large supply of colored lamps, some of which are very expensive.—Scientific American. Equipment of the Modern Missionary. It is recognized that the missionary must be not only a man of deep religion and sympathy and self-agnegation, but he must be equipped also to meet the criticism which he is certain to encounter in foreign lands. He must be trained in wise methods of philanthropy. For such work he needs the best instruction and discipline that our schools can give.—Indianapolis News. Subtle Poison of Java. The natives of Java have a natural poison to aid them in avenging themselves against their enemies. It is a strong fluid found in the bark of the apas tree. The bark is over an inch thick and is very spongy. A drop of the fluid on the skin causes intense irritation. A private revenge is satisfied by hiding a cup of this fluid in the room of the enemy and then the avenger flees, for well he knows that by morning his victim will have crossed the high divide. The fluid produces stupor, which ends in death. M. DUBIN LADIES' TAILOR AXTEL E. SHOGREN ..Merchant Tailor Our Work Talks Cleaning Pressing and Repairing The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

ABOUT THE IDEAL ROMEO. London Critic Believes Only an Italian Could Play It. Mr. Max Beerbohm suffers us to have no illusions, says the Ladies' Pictorial. He has now assured us that no one has ever seen "Romeo and Juliet" properly acted, and for this reason, that there is no actor or actress who could express the first awakening of love in adolescence, which was what Shakespeare intended to present in this beautiful love tragedy. No young Englishman has the power to do so, while the mature man who has the power only shows us mature love. The consequence is, he says, that the ideal Romeo will never be seen unless he is a young Italian actor who can speak English perfectly. One cannot help seeing the force of this argument, but as we cannot get what he suggests, we must obviously make up our minds whether we will be content with the representation of matured love, or whether we will do without technique and get quite young people to play for us. Most playgoers, one fancies, will prefer the imitation of love's young dream by actors who understand the art of "making believe," which is as near nature, after all as one expects to get on the stage. 24223715207 Patronize YOUR FRIEND The Best Grade of Second Hand Clothing Can Be Found at Segal's Only Lowest Price in Town.

Howard rendered his service and is remembered and revered. Dr. Gordon has gone to other fields. Dr. Thirkleid has the opportunity to eclipse and surpass the whole and bridge the chasm. Among the faculties of the university have been some of the ablest men and women of our country. Dr. Frederick W. Fairfield, who has just resigned the deanship of the College of Arts and Sciences, stood for all that was best for the great human family. He taught as the great teacher, and the men and women who have gone out from under his guidance are, in their line leading in the world's work. Prof. C. S. Richards of the Preparatory School of the University made it what it is, one of the best preparatory schools of this country, and the students who have gone out from it are rendering their share in the great cause of human uplift. Miss Martha Briggs, who Dr. W. W. Patton believed, was one of the ablest educators the world has produced and rendered as a great service to the country as Horace Mann, made the Normal Department what it was and the men and women who studied under her what they since have become. Dr. Clark, the Dean of the Theological Department, has done his part and the men who have gone out from his department have done their part. The two conspicuous figures who have done so much in the Medical Department are Dr. C. B. Purvis and Dr. Robt. Reyburn. But the chief credit for the making of the Medical Department is due Dr. C. B. Purvis. The Law Department has had many men of strength and renown upon its faculty. Among these were John M. Langston, Richard T. Greener and General A. A. Birney. Upon its faculty at present are four conspicuous characters, Dr. B. F. Leighton, who has been on its faculty for more than a quarter of a century, always imparting the best in every way to the young men and young women who have sat at his feet, for a long time, with Mr. A. A. Birnsey, who is now a member of the faculty, paid for fuel and light for the department, when it was poor, giving, many times shoes and clothing to the students. These two white men, standing at the very top at the bar of the capitol of the nation, continue their work, never boasting, but teaching the law to men who are hungry for knowledge. They are as noble men as the Creator ever made and have done as much for mankind as men can do, in this quiet way. Prof. William H. Richards and Prof. William H. H. Hart are the only colored men who are now teaching upon any law faculty in any schol of standing in this country. And it has been by their united strength that the school has grown to be one of the strongest and best in the nation. It is today the strongest department in the university, in its national significance, it are the bulwark of truth and justice against prejudice and oppression. Its graduates are the vigilant guardians of the rights and liberties of the people. In it there is no black nor white, but humanity and its good. Black and white strive together for mutual help and advancement and succeed. The graduates are filling an important place in the world. The most conspicuous and the ablest graduate accredited to the College Department is Professor Kelly Miller, who at present is Professor of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. He is one of the brainiest men in this country, has no superior in theoretical mathematics, lives a clean private life, is one of the ablest writers in the nation and a teacher of rare ability. At present he is a candidate for the Deanship of the College of Arts and Sciences, and deserves to come into that position. Able as he is, he has been too long the "bumper" for men who do not come up to his ankles, and this may have embittered him, as it has embittered others. We have criticised him when we thought him wrong, we will hold up his hands when he is right and commend every act of his that is just. In the light of the whole record, though many men will disagree with us, he should be made the Dean of the College Department; and his wife, who has so long been the source of his greatest strength, will, through his good fortune, as she so rightly deserves, come into her own. All we ask is that Professor Miller stand for the ideals of the founders of the University that he may make of the College Department, so long neglected, the great central figure around which all the other departments must revolve. In this effort he has our support. There are many other eminent graduates of the college department, but most of these must be accredited to other departments from which they have graduated since leaving college. But among the younger men, are Dwight O. Holmes, now teaching in the High School of St. Louis, Mo., and Mr. Walter A. Smith, teaching in the M. St. High School of this city. There are many others, but space will not permit us to name them all. Among the graduates of the Medical Department are Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, author of the Aftermath of Slavery; Dr. Wheatland, the X-Ray specialist of Newport, Rhode Island; Dr. Williston of this city, Dr. Michael O. Dumas, Dr. McDowell of St. Louis, Mo., and hundreds of others of more or less prominence who are forging their way ahead. Dr. Amanda V. Gray of the Pharmaceutic Department is now operating one of the best drug stores operated by any graduate of Howard University. From the Law Department have gone out Wm. H. H. Hart, who is the equal of any lawyer of his age in this country. He it was who blasted the Jim-Crow Car law of Maryland. Wm. H. Richards, the scholar and gentleman of the bar; W.

Denver, Ocala --- MADAME FANNIE MOTIN. To get 100 people out to a church at night in the summer time is no small task; to get them in hot July, especially on the night before the Fourth, when so many other allurements are offered, seems like a greater task; but to get them out to hear some high-class actor and musical performers in which there is only the highest sense of love and appreciation of art, literature and music to be shown, certainly speaks well of the audience as lovers of fine art. Beginning with the Invocation by Rev. C. D. Douglass, who inspired the audience with noble thoughts and ambitions and invoked the Divine aid for the crowning of their efforts. Interspersed between the presentations by Madame Motin were songs sung by Mrs. Lillian Jones, who sang a sweet solo that demonstrated the wonderful range of the depth of her voice in profundity; by Mrs. C. D. Douglas, who displayed the pathos in her song by her voice so well suited to that line, and by Miss Frankie Buchanan, who was encored because of the feeling expression and touching manner she sang her song full of love and romance. Madame Motin, garbed in a dramatic costume of white with arms bared to suit every word to the action, showed her skill in the character impersonations by her graceful gestures, smiling countenances and frowning glances coupled with her peculiar manner of forcing firmness. The dialect reading evinced her clever manner of changing from the ridiculous to the sublime when she rode the mule and told Sue to get up. The rising and falling inflection of her voice and then her conversational manner pleased the audience. Her Romeo and Juliet parlor scene, and the Julius Caesar scenes were difficult to portray, and more so if the audience lacked appreciation, because of their classical nature. She demonstrated by her interpretations of Shakespeare her power to quickly change from joy to sorrow, from deceit to friendship and from cowardice to courageousness and then picturing the profound love and then pity of Brutus and Mark Anthony. Her interpretation of Brutus' character makes him intellectual rather than emotional. On the whole the concert was excellent and well appreciated because of the dramatic ability and actor-like spirit of Madame Motin. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. SUNDAY ALLIACNE Again the People's Sunday Alliance had another treat, but this time it came from home talent in the person of Miss Nelsine Howard, who so ably handled the subject, "Public Department of the Colored Youth." The subject was treated generally by Miss Howard, but the ladies of the different clubs of the city entered into the discussion with much vim and vigor, scoring telling points from the Mother's point of view. One thought we mention is "Do not tell or impress your child that you will not trust him to different things alone, but it is their judgment that you mistrust," said one able speaker as she warmed up to her climax. Denver would have been blessed if every mother or sister in Denver could have been present Sunday and heard the valuable advice given from their very hearts, from their knowledge and experience. The Alliance should have more such treats. Sunday will be the election of officers. Mr. Henry Banks of 1329 South Logan street has just received a patent for an automatic hub of an automobile or bicycle which will revolutionize the speed of those machines, besides greatly lessening the cost of their manufacture as it will take the place of a rubber tire. From Mr. Banks' drawing and descriptions, he should feel proud of his recent achievement which bids fair to make him a power in finance. The patent was granted by the government last month. BOISE.

Come and take a trip up Platte Canon's beautiful scenery for forty miles to Crystal lake, and don't forget the train leaves at 8:15 on the morning of July 18. Mrs. McCullough is down from Cripple Creek. Golden Rule a Simple One. William Travers Jerome, recently re-elected district attorney of New York, expresses his creed in the following words: "I believe in elementary virtues, in old-fashioned. Sundayschool, puritanical virtues—the virtues enjoined by the Ten Commandments. There is an old hymn that has for its refrain, 'He died to make men good.' Good—that is the word. We should all strive to be good, to do right, to refrain from lying and stealing and murdering. It is all so simple—not at all a question of intricate policies."

Aa Ha Waa Ya'a "What you the cause of that awful racket and disturbance in your office just before you came this morning?" asked one lawyer of another. "You know that young farmer's son who came yesterday to begin the study of law with me?" said the man addressed. "Well, I thought he might as well begin at the bottom of the ladder, and I told him that when I arrived this morning the first thing for him to do would be to clear out the office. He found there half a dozen people waiting to see me on business, and he bundled out the lot!" American Congregations Rebuked. The Central Presbyterian of Richmond, Va., says: "The largest church and the largest congregation in connection with our General Assembly are not in America, but on the Congo river in Africa. The membership of our two churches there is over 2,000. The attendance on such church is upward of 1,000—sometimes 1,500 or more. When a native African from that region attended church services here, with one hundred or two hundred present, his remark was: "The people of America do not go to church much." England's New Hangman. England's public hangman, Billington, who died lately, is to be succeeded by Alec Taylor, a naval reserve man, who has been recently a railroad employe. He said, on receiving the appointment, that he would always be glad to hang a stationmaster without charge. No Stovelide at That Ban Several years ago, while the writer was stopping at the Hygeia hotel (then in existence) at Old Point Comfort, Va., the following incident occurred: One evening after retiring to my room I was seized with an attack of rheumatism, and, remembering an old-time remedy, I rang for the porter and ordered a "hot stovelid" from the kitchen range, distinctly stating that it be well wrapped in paper. A blank expression crossed his ebony countenance, but he respectfully answered in the affirmative and straightway disappeared. In an incredibly short time he returned, with the following information: "Miss, de barkeeper says he don't know nuthin' 'bout mixin' a 'hot stove lid,' but he can send up a 'hot stone fence,' if dat'll do." Justice Makes Error. Justice Wills, who has just retired from the bench of the British High Court of Justice, once gave a decision which, on reflection, he thought was not quite fair. He sent the unsuccessful litigant a personal check for the amount he had sued for. PAGE 5 DENVER. COLO. PAGE 6. RAISING CATTLE IN WEST. How Refrigerator Car Built Up a Trade the Trust Ruined. "To produce beef that will stand refrigerating and long carrying," writes Mr. Russell in the May installment of "The Greatest Treat in the World" in Everybody's magazine, "cattle must be fed on food that contains certain flesh-making elements. In some parts of the country there grows what is called 'short grass,' which has all the required nutrition. But the supply of 'short grass' cattle is not sufficient. The only other food that will make the quality of beef requisite for refrigeration purposes is corn. Hence in the great corn belt of the west (Missouri, Iowa, southern Minnesota, South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas) the practice came to be this: The farmer bought from the western ranges in western Nebraska and Colorado range cattle that had been matured on common grass, took them to his farm and fed them on corn for six or eight months. When they had been sufficiently 'finished' on corn they were shipped to be slaughtered. DID NOT BRING CUSTOM. New Yorker's Method of Advertising Displeased the Crowd. A merchant in Nassau street took a novel method of advertising his wares last week. Two show cases of the upright variety stood in front of his door, and on each was planted dogs dressed in gaudy blankets and bedecked with miniature "plug" hats. Each held a stick in its mouth, from which was suspended in banner fashion, placards setting forth the merits of the merchant's goods. One of the dogs was a splendid specimen of a brindle bull; the other was an Irish terrier, the saucy expression of whose face was accentuated by the "plug" hat cocked rakishly over one ear. The two eyed the crowd somewhat bashfully and anon looked at each other as though to say: "To what base uses may we come at last?" Judging from the expressions heard in the crowd which almost blocked the narrow thoroughfare, the dogs were more a detriment to the store-keeper's trade than an aid. They shivered in the keen air, despite the protecting blankets, and looked so wistfully toward the store door as though begging to be released from their exposed position that the roo Problem of the Panama Canal. The troubles which beset the Panama officials in their efforts to obtain and retain workingmen and clerks, has been told in various ways. "You have no idea how hard it is to get canal employes to stick to the isthmus," said an official of the isthmian canal commission. "It keeps us busy finding men to take the places of those who go to Panama and leave after a few weeks of work. I shall say that four months is the average length of time put in by most of our clerks. Of course, some of the men stay longer. They get higher pay and seem content to remain. But the great bulk of our employees are fellows with roving dispositions and a love for adventure. They think they will see some fun on the isthmus, and a few weeks of the hard work and dreary life are enough for them." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

To the Press: Pursuant to the regular appointment under the provisions of the Constitution, the Western Negro Press Association of the United States, is hereby called to convene at Topeka, Kansas, in its Eleventh Annual Session, Monday and Tuesday, August 12th and 13th, 1907. All proprietors, editors, managers, reporters and correspondents west of the Mississippi river are eligible to membership in the Association and are urged to be there. We cordially extend an invitation to members of the fraternity throughout the country to meet with us in Topeka, Kas., to consider those questions so vital to the welfare of the race of this country. Recent developments, such as the Brownsville affair, Tillman's lectures against us, The Clansman by Dixon, and the publication of books and magazine articles with the avowed purpose of creating sentiment against us, show the need of action on the part of intelligent and thoughtful members of the race, and the press must undoubtedly take the lead. We would again urge upon every paper and its entire staff to make this meeting a personal matter, in order to secure a large and enthusiastic gathering. The executive committee:—Nick Chiles of Topeka, Kas., chairman; W. H. Twine, corresponding secretary of Muskogee, I.

There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course.

The St. James, Albany and one or two more hotels again have began to employ the negro in the capacity of bell boy and waiter. Many of our young men are now working at those places. We appeal to them to appreciate the duty resting upon themselves to win the respect of the employers, to keep the avenue open to those who may follow and show their manhood in doing their full duty. Certain young men have done so in the past, may the same be said of these young men. Senator Foraker made a great speech in Wilberforce on the 20th ult. before Bishops Grant, Lee, Derrick and Derrick Turner and the whole Wilberforce University. In Henry Watterson's speech to the Eckstien Norton University in Kentucky on "To Settle Race Conflict," he gave a close study of the relation of the races and it behooves everyone to read it. It can be found in the New York Age for June 27. The National Afro-American Council met in Baltimore last week and Bishop Walters in his annual address dealt a severe blow to Jim Crow laws of every kind and urged a closer union to fight for our rights. THE AFTERMATH. The Federation of Colored Woman's clubs of Colorado recently met in Colorado Springs, discussed the vital issues of the day, transacted their business and adjourned without any show, bombast or any undue notoriety. Everything done was done with the co-operation of all showing what a studied effort, well planned can do. If nothing else could be said of them that they met in harmony, discussed in harmony and adjourned in harmony, that is enough to merit just consideration. But to the writer more was accomplished, the fact of the complete unity in the co-operation, combination and concentrated efforts of all clubs to a single object—the up life of the women and children, emi- --- PAGE 8.

The lack of personal aggrandizement, political schemes and personal notoriety was another great step forward to the honor of the women. The president made some valuable and timely recommendations which ought to be earnestly considered by the clubs, as the publishing of an official paper, the study of pure food law; the effects of alcohol; the injection of a reading course in their work; the having of more open meetings and taking the initiative in organizing boys and girls into clubs. Then for the enthusiasm that was aroused by the women of the state to attend this great meeting for the benefit of the social, intellectual and religious contact with the various classes of persons all holding their respective opinions and the opportunity of looking their sisters square in the face and getting a better and clearer understanding, forming a closer relationship and kindling a deeper love for all humanity and development. They evinced how other clubs were showing their interest in them by sending them greetings, which always precedes delegates and lastly the good feeling and great triumph over all kinds of dissentions. The federation has added one more laurel, not only to its crown but to that of the race. May it live, grow, blossom and spread its fruitage in one of our pressing needs, namely, a consumptive home for colored people, a girls' home of Good Shepherd, and many similar institutions benefitting itself and the race in particular.

GREAT FALLS, MONT. When the congregation of the A. M. E. church gathered together at Sunday morning services, two weeks ago, it was found that the interior of that place, as well as the painting on the outside, presented a vast difference in appearance than in the past. The walls have been papered and the wood work painted and many other need improvements made by the pastor and the Ladies' Aid. Much credit is due the ladies in this work, and those faithful few men and ladies who worked so hard to get the church in this beautiful appearance. We are glad to say that we have one of the neatest churches in the state of Montana. Mr. Meeker was taken out to the Columbus hospital last week. THERE'S ..MONEY.. IN THIS SPACE FOR ALL WHO Mrs. W. T. Osborne, Mrs. L Knopper, Mrs. Kelly, Arthur Ford, Chas. Cole and Mr. Monroe of Helena, were in the city to attend the picnic to be given by the Sunday school. Many of Great Falls' residences are taking on new coats of paint and other improvements, which makes the homes of our people look equal to the other residences. The 18th drew near with a beautiful sunshiny day, not a cloud in the sky, and those who had been talking picnic for the last month were not disappointed when we can say it was a success in every way. Everybody was there, the old as well as the young. The picnic was held at Black Eagle Park and after a most elaborate dinner where every thing good to eat was had with spring chicken very much in evidence, the picnickers all went in vehicles to Rainbow falls and the Giant springs. We must say that everyone had a most delightful time. In the evening there was a program at the church, which was enjoyed by all present. On Wednesday the visitors of Helena departed, saying they had the time spent in a way of pleasure and that the good people of the Falls know just how to entertain strangers. Mrs. Steve Williams entertained at dinner, Mrs. Napper, Mrs. Kelly, Arthur Ford, Chas. Cole and Monroe of Helena. Rev. J. H. C. Redd and wife and Mrs. W. T. Osborne of Helena, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. McCracken We will not be able to get out to post this news as we are surrounded with water. A cloudburst came down upon us about 3 o'clock and all the south side is flooded again. All the sidewalks are gone and the water now is within an inch of coming into the parsonage. As we gaze out on the vast space of water it reminds the writer of Noah's Ark. We will not be able to hold services tomorrow, without we can get boats to come on. As the Lord will have it we have plenty to eat in the house if the water don't wash us out. All bridges are gone and train service at a standstill.
