The Hindoos were British subjects and no doubt will receive the protection of the British flag. But this fact does not take away the blot upon our so-called civilization, which "soft phrase makers" call Christian. It is understood that Dr. Lewis B. Moore is a candidate for a position in the public schools. Dr. Moore is one of the ablest psychologists in this country, is a Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania, is at present the head of the teachers' college of Howard University, and if appointed in the public schools, would take to them a ripe experience supported by the proper "pedagogic equipment." We wish the Doctor success, One notable event was witnessed at the last meeting of the National Negro Business League. It was the speech delivered by Dr. Wm. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, on manhood rights. Here he pointed out that neither wealth nor education, nor weakness, nor power, nor ancestry, nor glory, nor race, nor color could render one fit for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship; but that it depends for its life upon character. Going into the subject more minutely, he declared that if rights were based upon money, the --- State Historian & Natural History Society THE ST DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY ley RIDE OF CAM Leave 23 and Larime NOTES Bureau Gathers ives Opinion OLO., FRIDAY SEPT OF CAMPBEL and Larimer, 8:30 DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 1907 man who has a million dollars would have a million rights w,hile the man who has but one dollar would have but one right; the man who has the best training that the best colleges of the world can give would have many rights, while the people less favored and less fortunate, would have practically no rights. Such a doctrine he declared contrary to our institutions, fundamentally wrong, and he advised the Southern colored men to fight unrelentingly for every right fledged in the law. And this is the kind of doctrine for a MAN to preach. This utterance was worthy of the man who made it, and timely upon the spot made sacred by the memory of John Brown. Miss Marie A. D.

The twenty-first session of the Colorado Conference of the A. M. E. church, fifth Episcopal district, will open next Wednesday morning at Shorter church with Bishop Grant presiding. Delegates and ministers will be present from all the Rocky mountain states, the furthest outposts of the army of the church of this denomination. This is the last year of the quadrennium and the last time that the conference will meet under the present bishop. Besides his church BISHOP ABRAHAM GRANT Sept. 16 work Bishop Grant has found time to interest himself in matters secular that were for the upbuilding of the race and his last conference is full of sentiment for the people of this section for it is like parting from a personal friend. Rev. Dyett has made preparations for exception entertainment for the ministers and delegates so that the week will be socially pleasant as well as intellectually profitable. There is a possibility that several of the church dignitaries will be present. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY Home of the Cocoanut. The milk in the water cocoanut is a food as well as a beverage. The cart driven through the streets of Jamaica by the quaint old darky urging along his rebellious steed in the form of a native donkey is an interesting sight. One is amazed at the dexterous manner in which the vender takes the unripe cocoanut in his hand and deftly cuts a hole in the top, from which you drink the milk. Then you return the nut to the man and with his machete he cracks it into three pieces and cuts a spoon-shaped sliver from one side, from which you eat the white, jelly like substance scraped from the inside. These are the unripe cocoanuts. When ripe the jelly hardens into the hard white substance to which we are accustomed. The Old-Fashioned Sea Captain. Is the old-fashioned sea captain extinct as a type? He stuck close to his ship in the moments of disaster, doing what he could to save the lives of passengers and crew, and, if necessary, going to his death in the effort. He may often have erred in his extreme devotion to duty, but he held unflinchingly to the loftiest ideals of responsibility and self-sacrifice, and his example was of incalculable value to his profession and to humanity. Are we to regard him only as a memory, or does he anywhere to-day survive?—Brooklyn Eagle. Submarine Lifeboat. When a submarine boat becomes disabled beneath the surface of the water and cannot rise its crew is in a bad predicament. To remedy the difficulty an inventor has contrived an auxiliary boat to be carried in the submarine and to be a part of it, practically, until needed. In time of accident the crew of the incapacitated submarine would enter the little craft and when the containing chamber had been flooded the bolts would be withdrawn and the vessel with its human freight would clear itself and rise to the surface.

There has just died at Belley, France, an old man of 72, who during his lifetime was notorious for his eccentric and miserly habits, though he was in possession of an income of $4,000. His funeral was attended by a large number of relatives, who were astonished to discover only a few coppers in the house after the funeral. The will was then opened, and it read as follows: "My dear relatives: I am afraid you are going to be disappointed. I know that none of you have any sort of affection for me, and that if you come to my funeral it will be in the hope of dividing up between you whatever I may leave behind me. I now inform you that I have left no money whatever. I sank the whole of my fortune some years ago in a life annuity. All the money that remained over and above what I spent of the annuity I have given away or burned. I hope this will be a little surprise for you." A search revealed, however, $1,000 worth of annuity stock, the coupons of which appeared to have remained unpaid, but on going to the bank to have these coupons cashed the heirs discovered that the coupons had been paid, but at the special request of the old gentleman, who had given a separate receipt for each coupon, they had not been canceled. "This is only a little surprise I am keeping back for my heirs," he said. It appears that on the occasion of the annual festival the old man deliberately burned $10,000 worth of bank notes, which he found he had been unable to spend. ..STOCK..

District No. 33 is the largest in the country, comprising all the Rocky mountain states, and delegates were present from as far as Montana. The session was business like and full of interest for the fraternity. The officers for the next year are W. H. Wadsworth, G. M., of Pueblo; R. P. Davis, D. G. M., of Butte; Geo. S. Contee, G. S., of Denver; W. H. Seymour, G. Treas., of Colorado Springs; A. A. Clark, G. Director, of Salt Lake; E. F. Landors, Endowjment Secretary, of Cheyenne. The next meeting which takes place in 1909 is to be in Butte. This is the 16th annual session and the Grand Lodge has $700 in the treasury, the best record yet. No greater compliment could be paid the retiring administration than the excellent work done, the harmony that prevails and the financial strength. The Grand Secretary G. S. Contee, is the one officer who is retained from last year. There was an important change made in that the endowment to be paid members in case of death was raised from $75 to $90. The social features were well looked after by the local brethren. A Lively Squirrel An old negro who lives in the country came into town, and saw an electric fan for the first time in his life. The whirling object at once attracted his attention, and, after intently guzing at it for several minutes, showing all the while the greatest astonishment and curiosity, he turned to the proprietor of the shop and said: "Say boss, dat suttenly is a lively squirrel you got in dis yeah cage. But he'd shorely goin' to bus' his heart of he keep on makin' dem resolutions as fas'."—Harper's. Be Kind. "The greatest thing," says some one, "a man can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to some of His other children." I wonder how it is that we are not all kinder than we are How much the world needs it! How easily it is done! How instantaneously it acts! How infallibly it is remembered! How superabundantly it pays itself back—for there is no debtor in the world so honorable, so superbly honorable, as love.—Henry Drummond.

Just north of the Himalaya mountain range in Chinese Turkestan lies a belt of land which is watered by north flowing rivers. These, however, do not flow anywhere, but lose themselves in the sand of the desert. The worst deserts of American are mere child's play to the desert conditions in this part of Asia. In many places there were formerly, one thousand or two thousand years ago, a condition of soil and climate so that they could support a considerable population. There are the remains of villages and even cities, which must have had water in large quantities in places now far distant from any reliable source of supply. So dry is the country that ruins of wooden houses which have been exposed to the weather for ten centuries or more have hardly the beginning of decay. Ja Turkkeve. The wife of one of the early missionaries to Japan, wishing to entertain some friends, sent out an old domestic to hunt up a turkey. After a whole day's inquiry he found one, and in due time a large and beautiful roast was served up, glorious, perfect—ah yes, perfect; so much so that the knife utterly refused to man its perfection. The old serving man was summoned. "Where did you buy that turkey?" "At the Temple of Kinke kufl." "Why, what was it doing there?" "It was the sacred Tin Wara." Die they say it was a good bird?" "Oh, yes, honorable presence they recommended it highly. They've had it 15 years and two moons then, selves." Use of Rubber Restricted. Probably no substance is adapted to a greater variety of uses than rubber, but its applications are restricted by the limited supply and high cost. Among the purposes for which it has great advantages but is not likely to be extensively employed is that of paving roadways. A rubber pavement laid at a London railway station in 1881 was in 1902 worn down to five eighths of an inch in its thinnest place. Notwithstanding the scarcity of the material, the cost was less than three times as great as that of wood, and its life has been more than 20 years instead of the four years which the wood or asphalt would have endured. Easing the Porous Plaster Before having a plaster applied to the back or chest one should take a deep breath and hold it while the plaster is being put on. If this is done the patient will not be annoyed by that drawing of the skin which is so unpleasant a feature when the plaster is ordinarily applied.

WU. Former Chinese Minister "Rattled" Unfortunate Author. John Luther Long, author of "Madame Butterfly" and "Naughty Nan," tells a story of a meeting with Wu Ting Fang at a Philadelphia reception. Mr. Long was introduced to the Chinese minister as the author of "Madame Butterfly." "Oh, the book about China?" "No; about Japan." Wu Ting Fang shrugged his shoulders contemptuously. "Why don't you write a book about China? That would be worth while. How many books have you written?" "Five." "Then you must be rich." "No, no." "Why aren't you rich?" "One doesn't get rich by writing books." "Then why do you write them?" "Because I like to do it." "How long does it take you to write a book?" "Sometimes a long while, sometimes not so long." "You shouldn't get paid so well for those that take a short time. What did you come here for?" Some one diverted the illustrious Chinaman's attention. The author promptly retired from gadding-gun range Laziest Man. Some friends were discussing a painter whose laziness was proverbial in the quarter.

The honors of sport are international, no nation can claim that it has a monopoly of sporting achievements. The losing nations in the recent automobile race in Ireland will be able to congratulate themselves, no doubt, upon some other notable feat which has gained international distinction. Germany holds the record for speed at sea, although it has not the biggest ship, which belongs to England. America has sent up a kite higher than any other nation. More than 10,000 feet above sea level, or a height of nearly two miles, is the record achieved in Massachusetts. One of the British colonies—Tasmania—has an odd record which has never been beaten. Some skilful wielder of an ax at the antipodes has chopped through a 6 foot 4 inch log in 3 minutes 36 seconds, and his feat has never been matched inside or outside the commonwealth. It is a British ship which holds the world's record for coaling and it is a British member of parliament who has done another that is unique by swimming twice across Niagara. Permanent Employment. Old Sam had been for several days patiently sitting on the bank of the Rappahannock river, near the dam, holding his shotgun in his hand. Finally he attracted the attention of a passer-by, who asked: "Well, Uncle Sam, are you looking for something to do?" "No, sah," answered Sam; "I see gettin' paid for what I's doin'." "Indeed!" answered the stranger. "And what may that be?" "Shootin' de muskrats dat am underminin' de dam," answered Sam. "Well, there goes one now," exclaimed the stranger excitedly. "Why don't you shoot it?" "B'pose I wants to lose my job, sah?" answered Sam complacently.

THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institution that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a guarantee that the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many companies soliciting business whose resources are less than three hundred dollars, and more than twenty of them have failed during the past few years. It would appear that there is no chance of their success, in view of the fact that the people have their choice of a strong or weak concern, the cost of insuring being the same. Denver, Colo., Sept. 6, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co., Gentlemen:I take pleasure in accepting your check for $74.30 as full discharge of my claim for burn of right hand. I consider my policy in your company a valuable asset, as it affords a substantial income during disability or when a man's earning power has been temporarily impaired. Your methods and promptness merit confidence, and I shall recommend the company to all desiring safe and conservative health and accident insurance. CHARLES M. CARROLL. 2536 Stout St. DAILY OCCURRENCE. Every day from five to ten people call at our office for insurance. On the 5th inst. we had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Thomas Campbell, messenger of the governor, who made application for a policy affording one of the largest indemnities issued by this company. Our distinguished visitor is familiar with the insurance laws of Colorado, and chose The Union Health & Accident Company, because it is the only one having a deposit with the state for the protection of its policy holders. Mr. Campbell believes in patronizing a company that has solidity, and a questionable one would not interest him. Denver, Colo., Sept. 10, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co.. Gentlemen:—In accepting your settlement of my claim for sprained ankle in the amount of $33.50 I wish to state that I have always found your company exceptionally prompt and liberal in the payment of losses, a distinctive feature which should be considered by all desiring safe protection. With kind regards for your future success, I am very truly yours, R. C. GETTEMY, 3055 Larimer St. Continued on page five TO THE INSURING PUBLIC After a careful examination of the affairs of The Union Health and Accident Company, I am pleased to make public the fact that this institution has paid to its members during the past eight months the sum of $16,043.95, or more than $2,000 each month, in claims. I further certify that 800 members are joining each month, which indicates a preference of the people for a strong institution in lieu of doubtful concerns. L. M. YOUNG. Examiner.

Mrs. Katherine Turley, of 735 Delaware street, is out again after a week's sickness from tonsillitis. She drew benefits from the Commonwealth and praises it. Mrs. Bobo, of 2125 Arapahoe street, sustained a bad burn from hot grease which will disable her for some time. She drew her first week's benefits from the Commonwealth Life on Wednesday. There is more typhoid this year, doctors say, than for several years past. Anjetta Breidlove, of 1717 Penn, is one of the sufferers from it and advises all her friends to follow her example and insure in the Commonwealth, so when they are disabled they will draw benefits, as she does. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

RAFFLES COW TO BUY LEG. genious Scheme of a Man Disabled by a Train. If there is more than one way to skin a cat, there is certainly more than one way in which to acquire aork leg. The usual way is to earn money and buy it, says the New York World. The way adopted by Julius Thorne, who lives at Glens Falls, is to let a cow raise herself and then raffle her off for a leg. Thorne was hit by a railroad train about a year ago, and when the doctors cut off his left leg, a disease of the bone set in. The injured man was taken home, where, while he lay on his back waiting for the bone to heal, he cast about for some means whereby he could procure a cork leg. Being supplied with little in the way of the world's goods, Thorn was forced to use his ingenuity. From a neighbor he bought for a couple of dollars a sickly calf less than a month old. This he raised on skimmed milk provided by another neighbor who made his own butter, and in time the calf got strong enough to be turned out to pasture. Grazing around cost little, and while the calf was growing and fattening Thorne made baskets that he might have enough cash to winter the animal. By fall he had earned enough to more than do this, and recently he started a raffle. All his friends took tickets, and when the drawing takes place Thorne will celebrate by wearing his new cork leg. Derived from the French. Persia's ruler is the "shah," which word entered the English language long ago by way of the Arabic and old French, arriving in the form of "check." "Chess" is really "checks," kings; and the cry of "Check!" means one's king is in danger. Hence the verb and substantive "check" in all their English meanings; "check," or "cheque," which was originally the counterfoil of a bill that served to "check" fraud; "checkered," from the aspect of the chessboard, and "exchequer," from the checkered pattern of the tablecloth on which the king's accounts were kept with counters. Of Arabic Derivation. "Zephyr" and "cipher" and "zero" are words that come to the English from the Arabic "sifr," which meant literally "empty," and so "nothing" and the figure that represents nothing. In medieval Latin this figure was called both "ciphra" and also "zephyrum," the latter probably from association with "zephyrus," or something even lighter than air. Hence, through the Italian "zefiro," there is the word "zero" as a doublet with "cipher." Belief. "He believes thoroughly in himself," said the admiring friend "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "Some people are so credulous." Not Easy to Find. One of the most uncommon things in the world is what is known as com- Elephant Takes Collection.

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. Those interested can secure full information by addressing BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Principal.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

In this country the banana is regarded mostly as a food product, but in the West Indies the natives find a use for the entire tree, and well it serves its many purposes. When the young coffee and cocoa plants need protection from the fierce rays of the sun banana leaves give the desired shelter. Physicians and nurses use the tender, unopened leaves for dressings, and the old leaves are made into twine and boxes. In Malay the stalks and leaves are made into a soap for laundry purposes, and a solution forms a valuable salt. From banana juice and the skin of the fruit a preparation is made for blackening purposes and the juice also makes a good indelible ink. On the under side of a banana leaf a wax forms which is very valuable and is one of the export products of the island of Java. In some countries a dye stuff is produced from the ashes of the fruit and leaves and the banana fiber is used in making manila hemp, from which rope and cordage are manufactured. In Switzerland a very fine hat braid is made from this manila hemp. From these examples it is readily seen what an important place the banana holds in the world of commerce. Dumb Friends May Be Our Equail We shall respect ourselves none the less if we find animals are nearer to us intellectually than is generally supposed. About 100 smart men have been credited with the saying: "The more I see of men the better I like doga." There is much truth in the saying, that there are some men in this world whom animals would probably be ashamed to recognize as equals. Let us wait on the scientist They may teach us much that will be helpful.—Philadelphia Enquirer. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Young Man Glad to Be Victim of the Judicial Wrath. A certain squire of a small city in Connecticut, who betrays his patriforism by presiding in a small office painted red, white and blue, had a case before him which attracted an unusual crowd to the temple of justice. A young man was up before him on a charge of stealing brass, and the prisoner's friends were out in attendance to see that he got a fair show. Before the case opened the noise and confusion became so great that his honor declared that the next man to indulge in any unusual outbreak would be ejected from the room. He had hardly ceased speaking when a young man shouted, at the same time waving his hat above his head: "Hooray for Squire Hooligan!" "Put him out," roared the court, and in another instant the interrupter was rushed to the door. His honor ordered that the prisoner be brought before the bar for trial. The court officer hurriedly glanced about through the crowd, and then a great light suddenly fell upon him. "Can't do it, your honor," he replied. "The young fellow you just put out was the prisoner." Simple Test for Milk. Milk varies in viscosity with composition and temperature, and a new apparatus called the "lacto-viscometer" is regarded by French physicists as solving the problem of a simple test for milk. It consists of a tinned copped reservoir, mounted on a tripod, with a fine glass tube as outlet. When the reservoir is filled with a sample of the milk, the stopcock is opened and the time required for the escape of the liquid is noted in seconds, with the temperature, and reference to a table shows the exact character of milk corresponding to these data. Trying to Account For It. It is stated that there are more suicides Monday than any other day, but no attempt is made to give a reason for this fact. Somebody points out that Monday is usually wash day, and it should be added that a boiled dinner usually goes with it. The clothes line may, perhaps, suggest the fatal rope, and the clothes pin nasal asphyxiation. There are blue Mondays, too, and it may be possible that the suicides have their own peculiar ideas about starting the week right. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Planet Venue. The conditions of the planet Vegas are most like those on the earth, but there is a strong suspicion that Venus has no night or day, but always keeps the same side toward the sun. If this is really the case, then the sunny side must be always burning hot and quite cry, while the opposite side must be always incased in ice—nay, more, in a mixture of ice and solidified atmospheric gases. The life of such a world must be very different from any that we know. Unique Wedding Party. A short time ago a wedding took place at St. Luke's church, Reddall Hill, Cradley Heath, England, at which a man named John Hill was married to a young woman whose name was also Hill.

The people at large have an interest in the growth of the churches for Christianity and good citizenship have much that is akin and whether out or in the church, the public recognizes that in such assemblies as meets here next week, there is to be found a powerful leaver to improve all mankind.

The soil is like chocolate rich, smooth, moist, dark brown. On analysis it reveals 45,000 pounds of nitrogen to the acre. Soil is considered excellent that reveals 8,000 pounds to the acre. "Russia's black earth region, in a word, is nearly six times better farming land than any other in the world." PAGE & CREEDE. COLO.

Among the rules of an English school in 1629 it was laid down that "a master must be a man of grave behavior, neither Papist nor Puritan, no haunter of alehouses, and no puffer of tobacco." In Turkey, where the pipe is now omnipresent, former sultans make smoking a crime, and offenders were punished by having their pipes thrust into their noses, while in Russia a royal edict ordered the noses of the smokers to be cut off. Landlord—You say you are a widow? Applicant for Flat—Yes. And by the way, do you mind if I pay my rent regularly on the 10th of the month, instead of the 1st? You see, I get my check for alimony then." Leprosy in Hawaii The Hawaiian government employ agents who travel all over the islands looking for indications of leprosy in remote places. Banishment is so dreaded that frequently the family of a leper will keep him secreted for a year or two before discovery is made. A person who is supposed to have the disease is sent to the receiving station in Honolulu, where he is examined by five medical experts. If "a leper" be the verdict, money, position, influence, race or color can not change the decree which sends the patient to Molokai. BENEFITS GOOD IMMEDIATELY. The Commonwealth Life is now offering to those people who are members of other insurances that they will get benefits made valid at once if they change. The other companies are hollering their heads off because their members are flocking in with us. Remember, we pay while you are down. We pay for all diseases. We pay benefits at once in case of death. No other Denver concern does these things. Experience tells you the rest. COMMONWEALTH ALL RIGHT. Denver, Colo. Commonwealth Life. City.

Admission 25 Cents Try Us for Printing To say the Sunday Alliance does have excellent programs is not telling you anything new, but Sunday afternoon the audience was extremely surprised at the excellenec of the program. Miss Jesse Reese sang, "Love Me and the World is Mine," and the applause was vociferous. She responded to the encore and again was heartily greeted. Master Louie McAllister came next, who electrified the house with his perfect ease and oratorical manner in speaking. He drew a hearty encore. Rev. D. E.

Kenney of Florida gave a very interesting talk to the congregation concerning the present needs of the Southern Negro. Among other things she said she was out to raise $20,000 for her school, and from the story she told depicting the terrible condition of the young Negro boys and girls in the Southland; that the present condition of the Negro ministry and the moral standard of the slums impelled the immediate formation of chautauquas and conferences along charitable, benevolent and industrial lines. Her story appealed to the hearts of all true Christians. Something must be done with the wafers, loiters and the disregard of the young for old age, for non-church goers and incidentally upheld all the burdens of our past mistakes as the fault of the Negro. She strongly emphasized the fact that the Negro ought to remain in the South, seek lines of least resistance, etc., and become useful in the community and make friends with the other race. A neat collection was taken for her to assist in carrying the news to other parts. She was accompanied by Mrs. Morrison. KEEP OFF! BECAUSE IT'S HOT. OCTOBER 23. A CARD OF THANKS.
