FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN INSURE IN THE Commonwealth Life Now SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS REV. DYETT LEAVES DENVER NINETEENTH YEAR INSURE IN THE COM REV. DYET LEAVE When Rev. W. W. S. Dyett first came to Colorado 12 years ago, little did he think that when he left he would have been exalted from a plain pastor to the dignity of a Reverend, an elected member of the Board of Church Extension Society, a delegate to the general conference next year and held by his warm friends as a prospective candidate for the position of manager of the Book Concern in Philadelphia. For any young man to even live in a community for years without a blemish upon his character is a just tribute, but for a young man, touching daily the spiritual, moral and financial part of the lives and without the slightest reproach to pastor, a large congregation of men, women and children for years, marry, raise a family and then depart leaving an enviable record, the worst of which could be said is that he is a scholar, financier and a Christian gentleman at all times and places, is such a rare honor that many hardly appreciate it. In Colorado Springs under his wise supervision and skillful financing hand and guidance, Payne's Chapel flourished as never before; the King's Daughters, a literary society, was alive with young students and young talented visitors who made the church a recluse for their advancement and intellectual attainments. It was there when he received such a signal honor, a fateful gift of God, who has been the most pronounced factor in his later life, an impelling force for his unrivalled success—the marriage to Miss Ninerva Peck. Naturally he does and must always feel dear towards Colorado Springs for that boon, as a worthy, loving and attractive companion. After staying four years there and above the protests he was sent to St. --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY OCTOBER 11, 1907 Joseph, Mo., where he ingratiated himself into the hearts of the people that he remained four years and only by telling them that he desired to go because of the heavy pressure brought about by the bishop's demand that he come to Shorter. So, loyal even then, were they, so well was he loved, and so devoted did they seem, that they voted him a standing invitation to return whenever convenient. At Shorter his four years of work of itself has loudly proclaimed and even now sings its own praises. Having received over 300 persons, leaving money in every treasury of the different organizations of the church, and being successful in raising this year $368.50 dollar-money, the largest in some years since Phil Hubbard's time, and organizing the largest and strongest literary society in this state, the Eureka, an organization that is recognized by the Interstate Literaries of the West, and equipping the church with the latest dipping pool for the aspirants of complete immersion, also paying a $1,500 indebtedness off in his second year together with the improvement expenditure of nearly $4,000 on the pastor's handsome dwelling and the up-to-date modern church edifice with its beautiful interior so well protected by the most improved roofings and on the outside so carefully and strongly preserved by a fresh coat of waterproof paint, makes one to easily see not only the spiritual growth and moral uplife, but with what complete studied perspicacity, increasing financial thought and persistent efforts of business methods along the line of welfare and progress of the church the reverend was guilty of. So fresh is NO RACE Hon. C. C. Hamlin addresses the Sunday Forum at Colorado Springs, on the problem of the whole human race. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is no small pleasure which I feel at being permitted to address the Sunday Forum this afternoon, not that I hope to be able to throw any new light on those questions which are of primary and vital interest to you, but because it affords me an opportunity to voice my deep interest in the work which you are doing and to express my views on certain subjects which, while of paramount importance to your peo- O HON. C. C. HAMLIN, Colorado Springs. ple, are of scarcely less importance to the nation as a whole. Any matter which affects ten per cent of the citizens of our common country must necessarily affect and interest all. I have been requested to direct my remarks to the constitutional rights of the Negro. I do not apprehend that it was intended or desired that I should enter upon a review of the decisions of our higher courts through which the civil rights of your people have been declared and established under the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Those amendments were of as great importance to our colored population as was the Magna Charta to the people of England or FIVE CENTS A COPY SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS PROBLEM the Declaration of Independence to our Revolutionary forefathers and their descendants. Through them the colored man was not only endowed with those inalienable rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," which he at the very foundation of our institutions, but he was elevated to the estate of full and complete citizenship. In view of the acrimony engendered and aroused by the Civil War it was no more than natural that these enactments were the subjects of bitter controversy within and outside of the Courts but the Supreme Court of the United States have dealt with the questions arising out of these amendments in the same broad spirit with which it has always dealt with all great questions, and has interpreted them with a view to making effective the will and intention of the people when they voted to embody them as a part of our fundamental law, until today your rights and the rights of your people under the Constitution are clear and well defined, and they are the same rights, the same privileges and the same immunities as those enjoyed by every other citizen of the Republic. When asked to define your Constitutional rights I could not better do it than to attempt to tell you what I conceive my own to be, for they are identical and equal. So were I to attempt to confine myself literally to the subject assigned to me it would involve a review of the entire Constitution with its effect upon and control over each and every citizen. This would be neither practicable or desirable, and so I shall take the liberty of fitting my subject to that which I have to say, and instead of considering the legal questions which have arisen under the constitution and which pertain to the colored race in the United States, shall rather consider the questions which affect the progress and happiness of our colored people as citizens under the constitution, and shall attempt to give you my views as to what has most made for the splendid progress in the past and what I conceive to be the principles on which you must build in the future. Citizenship is the highest privilege which government can bestow on those who are subject to it and to protect that citizenship and to make himself worthy of it is the first duty of us all. (Continued on page 13.) WILL COME BACK FOR CUP. French Rider Determined to Win Automobile Trophy. Albert Clement, the French rider, who participated in the Vanderbilt automobile cup race, has sailed for Paris. A few days after his arrival there he will enter upon three years of military duty. While in the French army he will act as special automobile driver to the general in chief, driving him on all military inspections, army maneuvers, etc. During these three years he is in the army young Clement will be allowed to indulge in automobile racing to his heart's content. He will be allowed time to prepare his machine for any race he may enter—in short, his army service will in no way interfere with his racing. He has definitely announced that he will come over and drive in next year's Vanderbilt cup race, and in his broken English added: "Next time I get it." Dreams of You. You'll live by the western sea, love, and the hills of azure blue; Leagues will separate us, dear, but I'll be true to you. When I sit by my lonely fire, on some dreary winter's night. And the flickering of the blazing hearts is all I have for light. I'll call up days that are gone, then, dear old summer days— Days that have gone forever, dear, and live only in the blaze. To close my eyes and dream, dear, when you and I were young. When brightness lighted up your eye, and love was on your tongue; That is the way I'll dream, dear, as I sit beside my hearth. While the snowflakes fall in feathery haze upon the darkened earth. I'll dream and dream of you, love, with your lovely eyes and hair. And pray to God to keep you safe, if I be here or there. —Thomas Colin Evans in Los Angeles Times. Advocated Beauty on Stage. The late John Hollingshead, noted in London as journalist, magazine writer and theatrical manager, especially in the last named capacity, had notions of his own as to what constituted attractions for the stage. For instance, he bluntly maintained that the selection of all ladies on the stage, except for the chorus singers, where vocal accomplishments were paramount, should be governed by a desire to put pleasing forms and faces before the public. His view of the stage was that, however it might be judged from lofty heights, it was not a platform for the exhibition of grandmothers and maiden aunts. If physical beauty could be got with brains and talent, so much the better. The free choice was physical beauty. Flower Weather Prophet. The marigold is a very reliable weather prophet. If the day is going to be fine the flower opens about five or six o'clock in the morning; but when wet weather is in prospect the marigold does not open at all. Old Lady's Pious Hope.

TRUNKS MADE TO ORDER TRUNKS TAKEN IN EXCHANGE Guard Was Satisfied. Walter B. Stevens, secretary of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, was down for an address of welcome before the congress of deaf and dumb held at the World's Fair. Usually punctual, he was a few moments late, and by way of preface apologized for his tardiness, his explanation being interpreted to his "audience" in the sign language by an instructor on the platform. "When I reached the door," said Mr. Stevens, "I was stopped by a Jefferson guard, who told me that no one was admitted except deaf and dump persons. I told him that I was deaf and dumb and had a right to enter. "Oh, if that's the case, sir, pass right in,' the guard replied."—Minneapolis Journal. Her Original Scheme. She was very proud of her first bank book, and determined to make none of the silly mistakes she had read about in the joke columns of newspapers. There was no danger of overdrawing her account. Every check was duly recorded on the stub, and after every four checks a balance was correctly struck. "But how is it?" asked the man one day when looking over the book; "how is it that your checks always come out in even dollars? Do you never have a sum like $5.11 to pay?" "Yes, often; but I have a famous scheme," she explained, gleefully. "It's such a bother to add up the cents that I just make the check out for five dollars, and send the 11 cents in postage stamps." Treasure In Sea's Depths. The Spanish frigate San Pedro, with seven and a half millions of treasure, blew up and sank in Camana bay. The Boston Diving company recovered some of the guns and a part of the treasure, but there is a huge sum left. Sunday Magazine. How Chinese Use Opium. The Chinese on the Rand were allowed so much opium, the maximum a month being two pounds. This would suffice to stock an ordinary chemist's shop for a year.

Letchworth, the donor of Glen Iris, the magnificent 1,000-acre estate that has been given to New York, is the originator of what is commonly known as the New York system of almshouse construction. It provides different buildings for the sexes, with an administration building in the center, a service building behind it, all joined by a connecting corridor. Because of his friendship for the Indian cause, he was adopted into the Seneca nation and given the name of "Hei-Wa ye-l-tah," meaning "the man who all ways does the right thing." many Fish in Lake Erie. It is said that Lake Erie produces more fish to the square mile than any other body of water in the world. Man's Inhumanity. Man's Inhumanity.

Ancient "Cure" for Madness. In the "Dictionarium Domesticum, Being a New and Compleat Household Dictionary for the Use Both of City and Country" (1736), is this sure cure for a malady which has in modern times been regarded as rather obstinate: "For lunacy and madness—Boil three large handfuls of ground ivy, shred small, in two quarts of wine till there is but one-third part remaining; then strain it and add to it six ounces of the best salad oil; boil it up to an ointment, shave the patient's head, warm the ointment and chafe his head with it. This is Dr. Wadenfield's remedy, with which a person is said to have cured 60 lunatick persons." CHOSE A DIFFERENT DAY. Homilies of Bishop Polk Had Good Effect, but— Bishop Folk of Louisiana, the "Fighting Bishop" of the civil war, had a neighbor who was an unbeliever. All the year round the work on his sugar plantation went on without a break for Sunday. The bishop, finding that religious appeal failed to move the man, brought to bear arguments from the utilitarian standpoint. He emphasized the laborers' gain from a day of rest, and cited the grievous results of unremitting toil, as shown in the impaired powers of men and animals that were apparent in France after the revolution. At last the neighbor came to him one day and said: "Bishop, I believe you're right about the advantage of a day of rest. I feel sure that the negroes and the mules both will be better for it, and so hereafter I'm going to knock off work—" "Good, good," interrupted the Bishop approvingly. "every Wednesday."

After perusing the literature sent him by the Association he sends ! his own and his wife’s applica‘ions for membership and advises the Com monwealth that he has cancelled sis policies with the other company.

Mrs. Dyett, whose sweet disposition and amiabil- ity completely cemented the love of all the children to eagerly assist in the Sunday school and little enter. tainments to help their own soul's salvation, has been a silent, tireless and active worker for this success in spiritual and musical associations. As president of the Mite Missionary So- ciety, she has doubled her last year’s report and made an unknown record. As a musician, the children who ap- peared in the last children’s musicale where the wee boys and girls had to be assisted to the rostrum, will be her signals of glory and honor in this community and upon whose lit- tle light countenances she indelibly impressed her loving personality. Sunday night a crowded house, complete and full to the door, includ- ing the balcony, witnessed Rev. Dy- tt's last message to his people. As he spoke his heart to heart convie- tions of the people whose weaknesses he had observed, a Biblical scholar could have compared him to Moses as he delivered his last sermon to the Israelites. Fifty dollars was given him as a small token of re- spect and recognition of his long and valued service. It would be impos- stole to tell all the true, good, lov: ing and well deserving things sadd about him Monday night, yet it had the ring of earnestness and sincerity that it seemed one spontaneous ut- terance.

This so called problem has een the subject of endless discussion in the press, on the platform and in our serious thoughts and even in our Iitera- ture. Societies have been formed for its solution.

Tome who has chserved the pro- Kress which your people have made and are making and have noted with more than passing Interest their advance in all lines through their own efforts and unassisted endeavors It is a matter of no little surprise that there are stil those who believe that water can be made to run up hill and that a monu ment can be constructed from the top down. Immediately following the close of the Civil War, when the country was torn and wasted by that dire struggle and before your people, Just freed from the yoke of slavery and having had no opportunity to “demonstrate their ability to care for thomselves and their own affairs it is not surprising that well meaning, but mistaken persons should have come forward with plans to solve the whole question at ieue in a day, Conditiens then existing made such plans not only excusable, but commendable, for they came from those who had the welfare of our col- ored population at heart, and thelr miktakes were of Sudement and not of intention. One plan which I will men- tion, as it hax some bearing op what I shall have to say later, was that of transporting our entire colored popu lation back to the country from which its race had originally perane Impos- sible and unwise as we now know such a course would have been tt received the mepeers of many well intentioned men. joking backward we now know that such a program would not only have been An pepet te of execution, but that it would have been the greatest ealamity that could have befallen our emored race and would have been hardly leax of a calamity to the country ana whole In the light of today we wonder not why some such plan was not adopted, but why it should have been suggested at all sirerising as it may seem that such a solution should have ever been sugested, it ix a mat- ter of Infinitely greater surprise that today, when we have before ux the marvelous results which your people have attained in working out their own salvation, that any one should be found advocating a kindred proposal, for such is the penetra brought for- ward and seriously advocated by some which Involves the colonization of large numbers of our colored popu- lation. As IT understand the question it is proposed to set aside a portion of the public domain and there locate such of opt people as mav desire, under government supervision, In the first place the impracticability of such a plan in manifest, but this is not the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Oi ae ae aa ee ee ee i ee ee dowed with every attribute of citizen- ship, who are one thelr way up- ward through the development and utilization of those attributes with which God has endowed them, on a plane with the blanket Indian main- talned on a reservation and supported by the bounty of government. I am firm in the belief that this scheme, or any scheme directed toward the betterment of our colored pcpula- tion, which seeks to act upon them as a class instead of acting upon the indi- viduals comprising the class is aoomed to failure in advance; first because it ignores the fundamental principles on which the progress of the human race has been based since its beginning; and second because it will receive and rightfully receive the opposition of the most progressive and intellectual por- tion of the colored people themselves. All such plans have their foundation upon dependence and they discourage that independence, both of thought and action, through which alone substan- tial and permanent progress is at all possible. They involve a step back- wards toward the state from which your people have soe recently emerged. Those who are accomplishing the most in the advancement and uplift of our colored population are of your own numbers and their work is effec- ve because they realize that to @ large degree our colored people must work out their own salvation. They know that the laws of evolution which are moving humanity forward act from within and not from without; that it ts through the individual alone that the race as 4 whole can be reached. They realize that their people can not be lifted, but must rise, and what they demand is not charity, but assistance; the assistance that brother owes to brother; man to man, This feeling is not the result of theoretical reasoning, but has been brought about by exper- lence and observation, and ,it has guided them in the direction of their work. And so any program which treats your people as dependent; as the wards of the nation: as suppliants for government bounty will meet and should meet with indignant protest from your best manhood and woman- hood, for It must of necessity insult your intelligence and wound your pride. In_the days immediately following the Civil War, when your people, after generations of enforced servitude and \ dependance, were suddenly given thelr freedom and thrown on their own re- sources, and before they had time to gain their balance and take up their tives under the new conditions it is not surprising that their ears should have been open to the sophistry of the demagogues who sought to ride on their backs. That the cry “twenty acres of land a mule” should have become a slogan to rally them about the Irre- sponsible political trickster who sought through them to gain his own ends During generations they had been taught to look upon dependence ax their natural lot and to believe that they had to rely on the bounty of the master and to accept without murmur the little which he might see fit to give Self betterment was eliminated from the equation for even though one might have Unusual attainments, unusual strength, unusual aptitude for the work assigned to him {t was of no in- dividual advantage, but added only to the pleasure and profit of the master. So It was not surprising that the first impulse of our colored people upon being released from bondage was to look about for some one on whom they might lean: some plan which would re- Neve them from the necessity of pro- viding for themselves. Some authority which would take them in charge; re- lieve them from the responsibilities of life and provide for them as they had been provided for under the old regime, and naturally they looked to the gov- ernment itself, anxious to have the paternalism of the state substituted for the paternalism of the master. For- tunately this bounty was not forth- coming and soon the colored man found that his future must depend upon himself and that through his own en- deavors and individual efforts alone would he be able to sustain life and take up a forward march, While he may not have realized it at the time by these facts he had won half the bat- tle which he was to fight on his pro- gressive march. Searcely more than half a century has ore since the close of the Civil War. his is a short period—a period insuMctent to make the average fite of a man. A period which is as a day when compared with the cénturies nee amen eres ren Gna eace fer em eee es eee a eres own brains, their own hearts, They desired to run before they had learned to walk. The first and hardest lesson which they had to learn was how to progress, and having long been kept in ignorance through no fault of their own, the experience of others who had travelled the same road was a closed book to them. The question then is, as I view it, has the colored man learned to pro- gress? Is he takink advantage of his knowledge, and are his methods such as will secure to his pape the re- sults which they are striving to attain. I am firm in the belief that all these questions must be answered in the af- fifmative. In watching the work which is being done by our colored popula- tion totlay, one is forced to the con- clusion that those of their people who are giving to this question the most thought and attention have conscious- ly or unconsciously discovered the key which will open the door to the future. They are directing their attention to the individual, realizing that in this way only can permanent progress be made. This work is going on turough- out the length and breadth of our coun- try. Probably the most conspicuous exponent of this principle is Dr. T. Washington and his great institution at Tuskegee, through his genius and devotion to his people, and their wel- fare always occupies a place in the foreground when these matter are under consideration, but the leaven in the loaf is working everywhere and what is being done at Tuskegee is be- ing done perhaps in a less conspicuous manner in hundreds of other places. This society which it fs my privilege to address today and hundreds of others organized on like principles and de- voted to like purposes are occupying a large place in this work, You meet here together, you exchange ideas, You invite the ideas of others, and as re- sult each ix brought to a considera- tion of these questions and to view them sanely for his own benefit and that of his people. At the close of the war, the colored man worked only with hands. In half a century since that time he has fought his way into the professions, he has be- come to a large degree the teacher of his own people. He has shown his ability as s servant of the government in positions of responsibility. In bank- ing, in trade and in manufacture he ts forging to the front. He is leaving his impress on our literature. What then do those people want who are seeking for some new panacea for this pone which exists only in the imagination! what do they expect? Let them look at the history of their own race in its struggle for freedom and for moral and material uplift and see If during the days when the results of servitude and dependence hung heavily upon them their people made as much pro- gress as has yours in the same lengt! of time. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe that you and your people are working on the right line; upon the lines along which alone substantial and lasting re- sults can be achieved What you have already accomplished is almost be- yond belief when viewed in the light of the handicap under which you have been compelled to work, and it should give you every encouragement in push- ing forward to your manifest destiny What our colored people need, and what I believe they know they need. is to be let alone save insofar as others can help them to help them- selves and I am absolutely satisfied in my own mind that your people have no worse enemy than those who, no mat- ter how laudable their motive, would lead you back over the road they have been traveling, and seek to teach them that the government can do for them that which the experience of all time tells us they can only do for them- selves. The whole theory of colonization is based upon the supposition that the eolored race is by nature dependent. That they are incapable of caring for themselves and their own, That their happiness and future depends upon the guardianship and protection which the Government shall extend to them, That they are children who need a parent who shall guide their footsteps that they may be prevented from falling. These were the arguments which were advanced in atempting to justify slav- ery, These reasons were urged when it was attempted to withhold the priv- eleges of complete citizenship. 1 trust the day may never come when the in- telligence of the colored race will as- sent, either by word or by action, to the PAGE 13. INSEL OS AS SEES AS tS Awe Ve Beye tion. If this is true how much more true is it with a people in whom the instinct of self reliance was smothered for over a century of enforced servi- tude. It took many years of freedom before these seeds of self reliance and self assertiveness began even to ape and will you cut the plant down in its bloom and just as\it is to bear its best fruit? I believe that the intelligence and manhood of your people will ans- wer such a Pa oeel with an indignant protest. I believe you will say “help us to help ourselves, but do not do vio- lence to our manhood and our woman- hood by looking upon us and treating us as dependants. All we ask is the same opportunity that your people had in their struggle for advancement and we can then be depended upon to take care of ourselves.” I may express my- self too strongly upon this question; I may carry my views of individualism too far, but if there is one thing which my own experience and my own ob- servation has made me to see and be- Neve more clearly than another it is that personal initiative is the main- spring of human progress and that races advance only through and by virtue of the advancement and devel- opment of the individuals composing them, Another reason why I am opposed to any scheme which is directed to the mass of your people rather than to the individual ts that experience has shown that your people progress, develop and become independent more readily when thrown in close contact with the white race. I think this is evidenced by the fact (and I feel it to be a fact) that the condition of the colored race is much better in the north than it is in the south I believe this is because your people are here met with more consideration; their rights are re- spected and protected: you have con- stantly before you the encouragement and example of a people which has overcome the handicap under which you hare been working. In our churches, in our schools and in our universities no odious discriminations are indulged in against you. The whole environment is beter suited to inflame your ambition and inspire your energies. Here you are free moral agents in the full sense of that term; here you are citizens endowed in fact as well as in name with all the privil- eges and all the responsibilities which that term implies. The more isolated any portion of your people shall be- come the less chance will these ele- ments have to exercise their beneficial influence. To bring endeavor every person must have before him some- thing to which he aspires. It is always the example set for us by others that Inspires us to climb. There {s no man who can not learn from others and to have before us an inspiring model is an Infinite help in our struggle for those things to which our ambition leads us, It has never been thought necessary to bring forward coloniza- tion or other kindred plan for the aid and betterment of the Negro in the North. The reason for this is that he has broken away from the influences which are holding his brother back and has worked out his own salvation. He bas worked it out as all his people must work it out; in the one way by which {t can be worked out at all. By application, by work and by individual effort. The same influences which have brought about his moral, intellectual and mental uvbullding are at = work among his brothers in the South, and while the conditions there are not as favorable as here. and as a conse- quence, there progress will be slower than with you, still in both places a natural law is working to a certain end; this law may be retarded by hu- man agencies, but it can not be stopped. Involuntary servitude was not new at the time of the Clyil War: it is not a creature of a century or of two cen- turies. It is as old as the human race. No people have been wholly free from its baneful influences. The slavery of the villein or serf under the early Saxon and Norman kings in England was not less real nor less hopeless than that of your neople prior to the eman- cipation. Men were bound to the land and sold with the land, and not only their substance and thelr welfare, but even their fives depended upon the ca- price of the over-lord and master. It took centuries of struggle; centuries of unrequited toil; centuries of sacri- fice and patience; centuries of self as- sertion before they were able to gain for themselves the independence, the opportunities and the privileges of free- men.

After an accident to the flywheel in a large European electric station the superintendent designed and had constructed a flywheel of wood which has a diameter of 65 feet and a rim width of ten feet. The thickness of the rim is about 12 inches and it is made up of 44 thicknesses of beech planks with staggered joints. The boards were glued together and then bolted. The inside consists of a double wheel, the 24 spokes of which are fastened to two hubs. Spokes and hubs are operated at 76 revolutions a minute, which corresponds to a peripheral speed at the rio of 139 feet a second. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Gear Tricks Resorted To to Make the Brain Active. "Fenimore Cooper couldn't write unless he had gum drops to chew," said a librarian. "He bought gum drops in ten-pound and twenty-pound lots. As some men are the slaves of tobacco, wine or opium, so poor Cooper was the gum drop's slave. Without it he couldn't write a line. "Chateaubriand dictated his works in his bare feet. Elegantly attired down to the ankles, he padded softly up and down the floor, his thin white extremities very conspicuous on the dark rugs. "Gluck could only compose in the open air. When the spirit of composition took hold of him he dragged his piano out upon the lawn, and then, in rain or shine, in snow or hail, in August or December, the master evolved his beautiful harmonies. "Bossuet worked with a hot cloth bound round his head. Balzac in a monk's hood, Gautier in a scarlet cloak and Milton in a brown robe. Lord Derby when he wrote ate brandied cherries. Byn, writing, ate truffea. "This collection of facts," concluded the librarian, "goes to prove that men of genius, like the rest of us, are silly in some things." Avoid the Mountains. "You never saw a cat bathing in the sea. You never saw a tramp in a mountainous country. Each spectacle is of equal rarity." The speaker, a geologist, smiled. "I know what I am talking about." he said. "In quest of geological truths I have traveled the country over many times, and I have yet to find a tramp among the mountains Tramps avoid mountains as they avoid soap. "Hence New Hampshire, Vermont and the other mountainous states are singularly free from petty thieving and from all such troubles as hobos cause. And hence, in those states it is never necessary to lock the doors or the windows. "Tramps avoid mountainous districts because the walking is all uphill there and because the farms are few and far between. A fertile and flat country with the roads good and the farms close together suits the tramp." Diminishing Scale. Grandma had an open hearth Equipped with crane and spit.

FAAS: NOW THE BRACELET COCKTAIL Another Fascinating Vision of Metro- politan Life. The cocktail bracelet is the latest for women. There are fashionable women of this city who wear circlets on their wrists which sometimes con- tain a Martini dry or a Manhattan, Gays a New York correspondent. The bracelets have one drawback, it 1s said, and that is they will not accom- modate the cherry that goes with the fairy cocktail. The other night a Pittsburg attorney observed a woman of fashion place her lips to her brace let. He thought that she was paying tribute to her own loveliness, but learned later she was merely ref:esh- ing her {oner self with a mixture of cordials, The nip contained .» a@ bracelet cocktail is so small tha It cannot be called a drink, but a cock- tail it Is, nevertheless. Of course, the bracelet !s hollow. If large enough it bolds three thimblefuls of ready-made cocktail, and pressure on an almost in- visible spring permits the full to trickle through a tiny hole in the cold shell, which is almost too small ') be seen. With one of those graceful Movements which appear to be rat- eral with @ woman the drink may de imbibed wit,.out fear of detection. A Broadway goldsmith sells numbers of the bracelets every week, and as most of the purchasers prefer secrecy in connection with the transaction “hey pay a pretty penny for the dubjourly woeful trinkets.

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. STATESMAN-Oct. 11 Mc Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen:—I am today in receipt of your check for $32.15 in payment of my recent claim for illness. I desire to thank you for your promptness and liberality in the adjustment, and most heartily recommend you to all desiring reliable insurance. Respectfully, FLORENCE WALTER. 162 Filmore St. The Union Health & Accident Co. Dear Sirs:—I desire to thank you for your prompt payment of my claim for illness. The amount I received, $24.00, was a great help to me. It pays to be insured with a company that has the money to meet the constant demands for indemnities. Very respectfully, MAY ANDERSON. RELIABLE INSURANCE. If you want good insurance in a big, reliable company, we are interested. If you are looking for an inferior article, then we can't do anything for you. The Union Health has nothing but the best to sell, and the One Hundred Thousand Dollars deposited with the state is a guarantee to the people that we have the courage of our convictions to protect their interest by the deposit. HOSPITAL! HOSPITAL!! The population of Denver is increasing daily with sick as well as strong. The hospitals are so overcrowded that the managers of these institutions have decided that some persons must be turned away. So what did they decide to do? Why, close the doors to the black man, of course. What should we do to resent their actions? We, the Life Line club, say "No, don't lose time that way; just get one of our own." The members of the Life Line club have unanimously agreed to take the initiative. We are going to open a hospital here in Denver and we want the generous assistance of the public. Our first venture will be a real charity ball, given at East Turner Hall, Dec. 12, and we wish everybody to respond on that date and don't let's have anything else that night, but everybody come and help make this an overwhelming success. A full account will be published later. Watch for it. Mrs. Ophelia N. Harris of 1116 Campbell street, Oakland, Cal., is perhaps the wealthiest colored woman in this country, is expected to arrive in Denver next month. Mrs. Harris has won several beauty prizes in Chicago and the old country. Mrs. Esther Morris crowded a host of ladies in her parlors last Thursday afternoon at her fall opening of millinery. She displayed a large line of hats of various designs and prices and disposed of a flattering number of them. Her goods have the chic appearance of the Eastern designers and are "taking." Don't forget, Thursday, Oct. 17- Opening of the Eureka Dancing Academy, at Boumes Hall, corner Twenty-seventh and Arapahoe streets, and continues every Thursday night at 8 o'clock. First class in every respect. All are invited to attend. The city has been greatly honored by the presence of the Building Labor delegates, who came here to assemble in convention to improve labor conditions. There were men of ability to be found in those organizations, men of integrity and of wealth as some of the delegates have already shown. There were no riots, no disturbances at the convention and a great mass of business was transacted, all to the honor of those black sons of toil, whose slogan has been, and now is, "We must hang together or we hang apart, in the former we have all the world to gain and nothing to lose." Denver certainly feels proud of the men whose influence was responsible for the convention coming here. She bids them come again. DON'T BE DECEIVED. Your friends all carry with the Commonwealth Life and so should you. They are getting 300 new members in Denver each month because all their members boost for them and because they get treated right. The Good Books says. "Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good." The Commonwealth is proven by our four years' experience and today they have more Denver members than any other three companies. They pay full time for all acute diseases (a thing which no other Denver insurance company does), and also pays for death and part time for rheumatism, consumption, paralysis, etc. If you drop any other company benefits are good immediately. Ask your friends. The Commonwealth Life has over $23,000 assets. The Pleasant Hour Club, composed of the choir of the People's Presbyterian church, meet at its usual hour after practice on Saturday evening. We are glad to say that this club is progressing nicely under the president, Mr. Fields. After the routine of business lunch was served and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. ARULA COLE. Secretary. ALLIE HENDERSON. Treasurer. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. I was in Alamosa, Colo., Sunday, Sept. 29, 1907, organized a church of ten members, and started a very hopeful movement to secure a church! One good thing in our favor is that the mayor of the city and other prominent citizens stand pledged to do all they can to secure a church. Mr. Ed Hayden, our popular chair car porter, did us good service. Alamosa is a coming town. Five young men recently from Pueblo, went up and bought some ranch lands. Mr. Mark Wright is doing good work in building himself a home. Mrs. Perkins, Smith and others are doing well. On Sunday, Oct. 6, I preached in Walsenburg and organized a church with ten members. The people of this town are loud in their praises of this place. I think I am safe in saying that we have here the wealthiest colored man in the state in the person of Mr. A. J. Steele. He is said to be worth $50,000, runs a livery barn, and has also much city property. The men of means in these towns are active in securing an A. M. E. church. Mr. Steele is one of our trustees. But our people in Walsenburg are for the most part old church people, hence we look for great things from them. There are Willis, Gooderts, York, Dance and others who are making an effort to secure a lot at once. J. W. SANDERS NOTICE To my patrons and the public-J have moved my residence to 3020 Welton street.

The doctor and his wife had lived together four years. She was a widow when he met her. He was a physician of note. Their life together was a happy one and no quibbling had entered the home to set a bad example for their hopeful. But the wife had a reputation as a wit. Her witticisms and little sarcastic remarks were known far and wide. Her friends had all heard of them. They had all felt the sting of them. The physician had been working with a hard case. He had spent day and night at the home of his patient and had won the fight for life. And he was accordingly well satisfied with himself. On his arrival home one evening he turned to his wife, saying: "You see, wifey dear? I have pulled my patient through. He is now well on the road to recovery." "Yes, hubby, dear," returned the wife. "But you are such a perfect master of your profession. You are so successful. Ah, I wish that I had met you five years sooner than I did. Then my poor, dear Billy would never have died."

Then passing beneath the colossal, gigantic Gibraltar that com mands the opening to the Mediterran ean sea our ship looked like a beetle in a pond. Then the pleasure of visit ing Spain, seeing all nations and un derstanding none except those of your own country, makes one indeed 9 stranger in a strange land. Their characteristic shrewdness in the market places, and untrustworth- iness as carriers of your luggage, their extreme willingness to serve you and at the same time to rob you, makes one very careful and observ- ing.

In Paris a visit to the colony of American Ne- groes composed of Mme. Hackley, Henry O.

Hackley announced she would come to Denver in her series of national engagements an} nake a special call upon the club tha‘ pears her name. It would take books to ‘publish what we saw and heard in Rome, the founding of Rome, Cater lus, Cicero, Cataline, Brutus and Jul- jus Caesar, the appian way, the Ro- man forum, the view of the city on Seven Hills, the dungeon in which Paul was imprisoned, the colossal an@ enduring temples built in the Doris, lonie and Corinthiap styles, the sight of the buried city of Herculean and Pompey just directly beneath sum. bling Vesuvius, all these and mere would fill veiumes, To taink that 15 cents could make such a trip seems almost incredible.

Ford to make this trip across the deep, some never expected to reap any returns for the money invested, while others seemed skeptical. But last Thursday night when a crowded house gave the Reverend a grand ovation they, with him, left the Union Depot at Denver and hurriedly returned in the same night from that long voyage without becoming seasick or even dizzy. No other person could have told so much in such a way with such a flow- ing style as did the Reverend except it was he in his own peculiar manner. Leaving New York for Boston, from where the Sunday school party was to sail, they arrived just In good sea- son, although previous arrangements had been made for their stations, ete., to find out that first class equip- ments could not be secured to colored persons on any of the lines, With him, we felt humiliated, disgracea chagrined, but all the more deter- mined to go, despite the ship leaving the next day. So we returned to New York and saw the international sec retary of the World's Missions, who advised us how to purchase our tick- ets and make a point on the discrim- inating companies, but urged us, after we had given him the money to pur- chase our passage, not to show up on the platform until fifteen minutes be- fore leaving time, which orders we carefully followed.

Henderson, first vice president; Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. A. King, second and third vice presidents; Mrs. L. Watson, financial secretary; Mrs. A. Whittaker, assistant secretary; Mrs. C. Fleming, recording secretary; Mrs. Alexander, treasurer. The meeting was well attended and the reports fro msuperintendents of departments were encouraging indeed. The first Sunday in the month, which is ladies' day at the Men's Sunday Forum, accounts for the large enthusiastic audience which greeted the speakers this past Sunday. The committee having the program in charge feel greatly encouraged in their undertaking. District Attorney C. C. Hamlin delivered an interesting address on Constitutional Rights of the Negro. Mr. D. B. Farr's remarks were of interest. He discussed with logic and vigor the faulty, the mistakes, the calamitous, hurtful reins prevailing and accepted on come very grave issues. Gà, Dear! Oh, Dear! Were you at the theater Monday night? The show did not arrive in town until 8:30 o'clock, and you know we were there promptly at 8:15. We sat there until 10 o'clock before the curtains went up. Oh, the fashionables were out. About everybody you knew were scattered through the audience. Some were very nervous and some of them enjoyed waiting the two hours. Oh, but the show was fine. Oh, yes, we walked home, but somehow, do you know, I didn't care much. I rather enjoyed it. What was the name of the play? The Royal Chef—as the reporter received it. The W. C. T. U. will meet at Mrs. A. L. Whittaker's next Wednesday, 510 East Huerfano street. Mrs. Nellie Earl Childers entertained at dinner Sunday as a courtesy to Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Ritter, who THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. left Wednesday for their home in Kentucky. The clever hostess departed from the custom of using cut flowers as a table adornment and an immense large pot fern lent its charm to the attractive board. It was an exquisitely arranged dinner. The members of the dinner party were Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Ritter, Mrs. Whittaker and Misses Crowles, Piper and Mr. P. S. Simpson. Mr. John Crawford of Americas, Georgia, is here health seeking. He is stopping at Mrs. Henderson's, 516 East Huerfano street. Mrs. Susas Powell leaves tomorrow for a two weeks' stay in Denver. MANITOU. COLO.

Mr Lewis Greenlee and wife, of Mustatine, Iowa, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Zach Badget. Mrs. Hillory Moore, of Las Animas, Colo., and Mrs. Sales, of Pueblo, were the guests of Mrs. Armstrong last Thursday. The little daughters of Mrs. Houston are still confined to their beds with typhoid fever, and the oldest one is reported very seriously ill. Mr. Fred Houston is also on the sick list. The most brilliant affair connected with the social interest of the A. M. E. church was the apron and necktie social given by Mrs. Zach Badget, the district stewardess, at Hubbard chapel for the purpose of raising the presiding elder's claim. Mrs. Badget was assisted at the tables by Mrs. Mary Green and Miss Susie Starkey while Mrs. Emma Davis presided at the neck-tie booth. Weinerwurst sandwiches and coffee and ice cream and cake were served. Soon the ties were all purchased and just as the social event seemed to have reached its zenith, the program was instantly changed to a literary contest, for which Mr. A. W. Vernon, L. Livingston and L. J. Starkey were appointed judges. Prizes were awarded to the three persons reciting the most witty quotations in the judgment of the judges. Many were the quotations recited and according the decision of the judges the first prize was won by Miss Bessie Vernon, of this city. The second prize went to Mr. John T. North, representative of the World's Manufacturing Co., of Philadelphia, Penn., and the third and last was awarded to Mrs. Prince, wife of Rev. Prince, of present pastor. Every feature of the affair was strictly second none and a neat sum wes realized. Rev. R. Wagner ,the newly appointed presiding elder of the Colorado Springs district, arrived in our city Saturday and was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tyler. Sunday marked the beginning of a new epoch in the history of Hubbard Chapel, A. M. E. church. It was the first quarter in this conference and also the beginning of the presiding eldership of the Rev. R. Wagner. Rev. Wagner filled the pulpit Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m., and also Sunday evening at 7:30. At each service Rev. Wagner delivered an able and feeling sermon. The people showed their appreciation by a crowed house. One member was added to the church and quite a number communed. The following is an extract from the report of the stewards' report made in the quarterly conference Monday evening, Oct. 7: We, the stewards' board of Hubbard PAGE 9. chapel, beg leave to make our first quarterly report for the years 1907 and 1908. We closed our yearly report of 1907 under the pioneer and venerable father, Rev. John Turner, with gratifying results and since in the Godly judgment of the bishop he has been transferred from us to other quarters we heartily commend him to the sympathy and co-operation of the lowers of Christ, to whom he has given the best part of his life. May he live long and prosper and reach the goal in the world to come. The church and community at large is much delighted with the appointment of Presiding Elder Rev. R. Wagner, who succeeds our beloved Rev. Watson. We hope for him great success in his new work. By his appointment new life is given the church, which means untold blessings for us all. And lastly, but not least, comes the Rev. W. H. Prince, successor to the venerable Father Turner. Rev. Prince is a man well equipped for the great and much needed work here. The church and community at large welcomes him and may he enter on his new duties with untold energy and we, the stewards, voice the membership of the whole church in saying we stand ever ready to hold up his hands. To that end that many may be added to the church. La Junta being a central point of the Colorado Springs district the quarterly conference extends a welcome invitation to the new presiding elder, Rev. R. Wagner to make La Junta his headquarters during the time he be on the presiding elder's field in this district. With the Rev. Prince, our pastor, and Rev. R. Wagner, as presiding elder, we hope to accomplish a great work. Rev. Wagner left Thursday for Trinidad, where he will hold the quarterly meeting at that point. GUNNISON. COLO.
