Holiday Week Attraction Masons' Dance THE STATESMAN SURRENDERED TO VAUDEVILLE NINETEENTH YEAR SURRENDE TO VA Long before the curtain rose, East Turner hall, last Thursday night, groaned with a mass of humanity, packed to standing room, who assembled to witness the initial efforts of Mrs. Jesse Nichols-Reese along modern vaudeville lines. The entertainment was for the benefit of the Odd Fellows' building fund. The event was The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

No wonder, as one bought his ticket at the door, a broad smile, if not a happy grin, could be seen dancing up the faces of all the Odd Fellows of that grand old order, who were out and enjoyed the big success. The players seemed to catch the fever and each in his or her turn resolved to carry off the palm of victory. It is needless to say that Harris' orchestra kept exact time with the soloists and in the dancing so artistically assisted the nimble, quickstepping performers with all the grace, ease and coolness of trained professionals, now and then bringing out the emphasized musical features, to which the audience silently bowed its assent. Of all the participants upon the program it would be difficult to say who did the best for all were forced to respond to encores and showed such sincerity in their roles that a fair judgment is an impossibility. The "Grand Old Flag," by Miss Virgie Webster, in her accustomed winsome way, was full of such patriotism and life that the audience heartily demonstrated their appreciation.

Is it not a sad spectacle to see the cruelties of the modern Christians against the weaker men with whom they come in contact? France, in Morrocco, grasping wildly for the provinces of the Moors; England, in South Africa, taking by force the lands of the natives under the name of advancing the cause of the Christian church upon the "dark continent" and taking to them the light and help of civilization; America oppressing her darker brothers at home and abroad, and Germany mad with the lust of territorial aggrandizement; all presenting a picture unworthy of our age and progress. Against these wrongs the darker races are protesting. The native African says he does not want the white man's religion; it makes men unequal. They want the religion of Mohammed, which teaches the brotherhood of all men of all races of all the earth. They protest against the destruction of this ideal which has stood for so much. They deny that they are pagan. And in the light of what the white people of the earth have recently done, what can be hoped for the colored people to whom they unmasked carry the false religion which they have. Under present conditions no man can tell what is to come to the Washington Public School system. The forces that are now working within it are calculated to destroy it. The fear is extant that the reins of power are in unsafe hands and that political methods are being substituted for the former methods of proper school regulation and control. The charge is very general and we hope will not be sustained, but it is damaging to have such an observation made respecting a system hitherto regarded as a model by the educational world. Senator. Foraker is still upon the IS PROTESTING horizon, and as the time draws nearer and nearer for the national Republican convention greater becomes the necessity for the strengthening of the lines for him and the things for which he stands. Our wish to high heaven is that colored men will stand up for him as they have never stood before. A great battle is ragin. It is the battle of the great and mighty against the weak and oppressed. Men are dying, women are sending up their wails to God for help, little children are suffering for a hope and a future, and strong men rush madly on unheeding the poor at their feet. It is a mad rush for gold, gold, gold; there is no stopping. Good men have forgotten God and pushed eagerly on to the goal of final defeat and ruin. They are mad; they see the poor as their instruments of exploitation; they cannot pity them, they can only use them, and use them for their gain, not for their own good. When will the battle grow less harsh? The Misses Spences, of Charleston, S. C., were in the city last week. While here they were the guests of their father's friend of long years, Dr. W. S. Lofton. Mr. H. J. Pinkett leaves for Nebraska this week, where he expects to make his new home. He wishes us to thank the people of Washington and other parts of the country for the many kindnesses they have shown him. Mr. Pinkett will still remain the manager of the Press Bureau, although its headquarters will be in Washington. The policy of the Bureau will not change with Mr. Pinkett's going; we shall preach the same doctrine which he preached while here. We regret his departure, but he goes without wishes for success in that second only to the highest—the profession of the law. We hope that Mr. Pinkett will come to us again with an increased record for usefulness and goodness. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ——————— TWO WAYS Cmces ING AT IT. Russia to Found museum.

Mosquito War in Germany. Consul General Guenther, of Frank fort, writes: “The director of the Breslau hy- sienic institute has announced the re- sults of his mosquito war experiments. The first object was to destroy egg- bearing females, which were found in large numbers in Breslau cellars. Fu migation was use@, and tae number falling on the papers placed on the floors often ran up to 2,000 mosqui- toes, For destroying the larvae in pools of water 50 grains of ‘larvicide’ was put Into the pool. This kills ali the larvae within half an hour, but does not harm frogs and fish. To de. stroy the pupae is another question which will receive attention from now on. Breslau seems to be the firat city in Europe to wage a systematic war against this plague, and other German citles suffering from mosquitoes are preparing to imitate their plans.” Could Prescribe in This Case. In Haverhill, Mass., a generation or thereabouts ago, lived two doctors by the name of Sawyer. Dr. Benjamin E. was a first-class physician with a large practice. Dr. Nathan was a veterinary and was skillful and successful in his profession. A certain Mr. Jones, after a week or more of imbibing, was very sick, and his wife, becoming alarmed, sent the hired man for Dr. Sawyer. The hired man brought the wrong Siwy, the veterinary. Dr. Nathan explained to the wife that he was skilled only in the dis- eases of horses, cattle and other ani- mals. “I guess you can prescribe all right In this case,” replied Mrs. J. “Jones Is & jackass.” Uncle Eben. “When I goes to de eo't house,” said Uncle Eben, “it sometimes looks to me like de jury was a committee to award a prize to de smartest lawyer.” THEMATCH-IT-IF-YOU-CAN STORE : No More Ready-to- wear Clothes Tailor-Made Suits as low as SCHRADSKY, THE TAILOR, 1601 Larimer Street Russia to Found museum.

[Continued from page 1] dances, mixed with gayety, frivolity and fun and climaxed with the Alaskan Reindeer dance by the entire company, and where has any young lady had imposed upon her the colossal responsibilities of stage manager, property man, electrician and superintending the rapid changing of the many costumes in the one night; and plished actor is too well known to Denver audiences to bear any comment here, further than to say she performed in her usual manner. "Lonesome Tonight," by Miss Jessie Andrews, was exceptionally fine, as her soft, sweet voice murmured the whisperings of love and anxiety only to be caught up and re-echoed again to the audience by Mrs. Reese in the balcony and more strongly emphasized by the entire company, and whose sad effect of this musical impression produced a noticeable deathlike silence upon the audience. Miss Andrews, being of a musical family, a brilliant future awaits her in the musical world. "Virginia," by Mrs. Edith Scott, was grandly performed. It was of a very lively nature and nobody could have put so much of real Virginia in the role as did Mrs. Scott when the audience called her to repeat it. "Manhattan Isle," by Miss Eva Nichols, in the role of a stunning society bell of New York, although a complete amateur upon the stage, she acquitted herself with the greatest ease and grace. Her slender figure, perfect step and model carriage won for her an enviable welcome. Scarcely could professionals have presented with the modest perfectness and lively emotion the Cuban dance, making the "decided hit" as did Misses Jessie Andrews, Genevieve Marks, Noah Findley, Fannie Carpenter, Geraldine Troutman, Gracie Burns, Katie Carper and Edith Scott. Applause of this act lasted several minutes. "Strolling," by Josephine Allyn and Amy Matthews and "I'd Like To Know Your Address," by Gracie Burns and Genevieve Marks were as grand as similar acts that have ever appeared upon any stage in Denver. The masculine parts were taken by Miss Allyn in the former and Miss Burns in the latter and acted their respective roles beyond all criticism, making true and real actors of themselves. Anyone would have fallen desperately in love with the singers who so passionately and lovingly sang "Wouldn't You Like to Have Me for a Sweetheart," revelling with complete harmony in their beauteous splendor their trim trim agility and exact steps with the music. Misses Amy Matthews, Arlena Burns, Edith Scott and Josephine Allyn simply enamored the house. The finale, as introduced and sung by Miss Nora Findley, a recent addition to Denver musical bodies, especially the Azalia Hackley Choral so THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ciety, brought forth such an applause because of the sweetness and mild penetration of her well-suited, mellow voice that an encore was the result. To simply say that Leon Pryor as a comedian and Willie Burns as a shrewd, well-dressed business gentleman, were funny in their act is but to tell a half truth, for after Leon Pryor, in such a peculiarly torn garb, rendered "Take Your Time" everybody in the house knew he certainly must nave taken his and then had some to let. His jokes and his nervousness made him so funny that the audience fairly screamed and yelled with laughter. Will Burns sang exceedingly well. The "Song of the Cities," by Jessie Reese, followed by the Reindeer dance by the entire company, was simply elegant, each "rein dear" being yoked to a large red ribbon tied in a beautiful bow knot and held by a blushing, yet prepossessing lady driver, beneath the many brilliantly colored electric lights which fairly danced with glee upon their gorgeous costumes and made such a pleasing scene that memory will be loathe to relinquish it. This completed the program, the modern vaudeville, and made history of those presentations which may soon be forgotten by some but to others will ever remain green only to be now and then watered and cultivated by the fond remembrances and sweetly recalled suggestions that were indelibly stamped upon the hearts and minds of that audience The Goddess of Terpsichoria silently and gently came down and took possession of the merry ones and the evening soon passed into history to the glory and substantial honor of the Odd Fellows' building fund. The Odd Fellows ought to feel justly proud and doubtless they do for securing such brilliant talent that by means of tireless work, patient training in voice and physique, studied efforts in plans and schemes, laying scenes, producing effects and carefully measuring each and every dramatic action and weighing every comical and well-suited gesture. We first congratulate Mrs. Reese and her company and then the Odd Fellows, and may they all continue to bring down victory after victory until the Odd Fellows' hall will exist in substance and be all their own. The Soda Bath. "Are you taking soda baths?" is the question which women are asking one another most just now. The soda bath is declared to be a specific for rheumatism besides rendering the skin soft and supple and the bather beautiful. Women have tried in turn the perfumed bath, the mud bath and the medicinal bath, but no other bath has ever met with the same favor as the soda bath. It is said to come from Europe and the method of procedure is as follows: One pound of washing soda is added to a tub of hot water and the patient must lie in this for fifteen minutes. Then follows the cold spray and the bather emerges with every trace of her aches and pains dispelled like magic and her skin glowing like the sky at sunrise.—New York Sun. Money as Excellent Feed. Honey, which is described as "one of nature's best foods," is the subject of a report by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Formerly honey was the principal sweet, and it was highly valued 3,000 years before the first sugar refinery was built. "It would add greatly to the health of the present generation," it is declared, "if honey could be at least partially restored to its former place as a common article of diet." Beginning of Railroads. England was in advance of the United States in its early railroad experiments. In the first years of the last century several roads using horse power and iron rails were in operation. Then Stephenson began introducing steam locomotives and by the success of his Rocket on the Liverpool & Manchester line in 1829 proved that steam was to be the future source of motive power. One Use for Garlic. It has been known for many years that the volatile oil of garlic acts as a stimulant to the hair roots when locally applied. Recent researches tend to show that when the bulb is eaten freely it has a similar action. Not every one is in love with the odor and flavor of garlic, so in this country, at any rate, the discovery is not likely to rouse much enthusiasm. Game Name to Small Colnage. Sir John Swinburne obtained the distinguished honor of having the three-penny bit named after him throughout South Africa. When he went to Cape Town first there was no coper coinage, and he was provident enough to take out a sackful of the smallest "collection in silver," to be used for tipping. So throughout the colony this coin is still known as "Sir John," when it is not called a "tickle." Chimney Stacks Left Standing. Some curious beliefs still linger in the country parts. For instance, in Hertfordshire, when ancient houses are destroyed the chimney stacks are left intact, the popular theory being that the houses are still in existence while these remain standing. This may be a survival of some ancient but now almost forgotten legal right —London Chronicle. MUCH TALENT, LITTLE GENIUQ Justin McCarthy's Idea of the English Literary World. Justin McCarthy, whose own activities as a writer have extended over more than half a century, does not agree with the despondent note often heard in the discussion of English literature. "It is true," he says, "that we have not the old giants with us. We have much fine talent, but not, perhaps, much real genius. It is the quiet sea after the billows. What I mean is that in literary history you have times of great minds and then again times of merely gifted minds. The present time is one of high average talent rather than one of genius.

UNWISE DISSENSION The proposition to move the state capital from Cheyenne is calculated to stir up unwise dissensions and controversies between various sections of the state which it would be well to avoid. Wyoming has many valuable natural resources all of which in due time will be developed and utilized. It is a state so rich in natural advantages that there is wealth and prosperity in store for every section. This will be the sooner realized through harmonious and friendly actions in the interest of the common good by all the people of the state. There should be no disposition to pull down, but, on the contrary every disposition to build up. This, we believe, is the sentiment which prevails in this community, and actuated by it, the proposition to move any of the state institutions from their present locations will not be supported.—Newcastle Times. Was a Lucky Calamity. As time passes it becomes more and more evident that the big fire of two years ago was a lucky calamity for Baltimore. In two days it cleared away acres and acres of ancient, tumble-down buildings that in the ordinary course of events might have obstructed the progress of the city for years. It awakened enterprise; it opened the way for new ideas and new men; it aroused the city to the need for a general municipal housecleaning and it provided an opportunity to widen narrow streets, to improve useless docks and to do other things. True enough, a great many Baltimoreans were ruined by the fire and their fate excites sympathy, but a great many more in the two years that have passed have profited. Today Baltimore is the better for that terrible Sunday—more alert, more modern, more prosperous and more progressive.—Baltimore Herald. Was Bound to Vote. George Meredith, the English novelist, was suffering from a broken leg, but that did not prevent him from voting in the recent English elections. He was driven three miles to the polls in a donkey chaise decorated with Liberal colors. A number of friends lifted him tenderly out, a sheet was placed round him and in this way he was carried bodily to the poll box. On returning to his carriage Mr. Meredith was loudly cheered by a large crowd. Peer's School Is Popular. Of 200 youths belonging to the imperial clan and to other princely and noble Manchu and Mongol families who presented themselves as candidates for admission to the new peers' school at Pekin, established by imperial edict, thirty were rejected. Josh Billings' Humor. Josh Billings in "His Sayings" (1866) wrote the following declaration: "To Deaken Uriah Billings—a man of menny virtues and sum vices—this book is completely dedicated—and may he have the strength to stand it—his own nephew. Joshua Billings." And in the same volume the author says to the reader: "Tred likely, dear reader, for the way is ruff. This book waz got up tew sell, but if it don't prove tew be a sell I shan't worry about it.—J. Billings." PIANOS $100.00 Anyone may have a Piano delivered at their home for $2.00 per week payments.

Mr. O'Steam was an old Kansas and people gathered from surrounding cities to do his memory honor. The funeral was one of the greatest ever there and took two hours in passing. English Women Keen Polo Players. Life apparently has no value these days to the woman polo player, who cheerfully risks it in pursuit of the all absorbing pastime. English women are wildly enthusiastic about the sport, and at a polo match recently played between two teams of women the Queen herself was among the interested spectators. Persons' tastes vary, however, when it comes to recreation, and few American girls have cared to enter the lists against their English cousins. Although they are fond of variety in their existences, the danger courted in this game is such that it is difficult for those who like to feel a sense of security in their pleasures to see where the fun comes in. Women are seldom seen at a more decided disadvantage than when polo playing and the costumes worn are generally ugly enough to cause attractive American women to give it the cold shoulder, if for no other reason. Instead of Swearing. A Holton man who had never been known to warble a note was heard the other day singing in a loud and remarkably clear vince "Wait Till the Clouds Roll By, Maggie." A surprised neighbor asked him the cause of such an outbreak. "I will tell you," he said. "I knew I could swear, but I did not know I could sing until I tried it one day. Now when I feel like swearing I take to singing and I expect there will be music in our neighborhood most of the time." -Kansas City Journal. And Just as Hard to Find Out. The question of how much a soul weighs may interest a few psychologists, but it can never attain the popular importance that attaches to the question of how much a pound of beef is going to cost.—Washington Star. Uncle Eben Observes. Uncle Eben Observes. "It's funny," said Uncle Eben, "but you can't get a man to act near as grateful foh honest, sensible advice he will foh a bundle of no-count information 'bout de bosses."—Washington Star. DO YOU KNOW A. A. WALLER Secretary and Manager Ruled Through Superstition. Queen Niawingi, a dusky central African potentate, now decrepit and discredited, is said to have been the last ruler of Mpororo. She once possessed much influence, partly due to superstitious fear. She claimed the power of intercourse with the spirit world, and surrounded herself with much mystery. She lived completely hidden in a hut, from which she was supposed never to emerge. When approached for any purpose, the replies to questions were given in a high, squeaky voice, intended to be accepted as the voices of spirits Relics of Extinct Birds. Funk island, off the coast of New foundland, used to afford shelter every year at breeding time to countless numbers of natatory birds, among them being the white booby (sula bassana). These birds have met with the same fate as the great auk. They are extinct. Now their eggs are great rarities, and would fetch large sums but there are none in the market. Some specimens are on view at the Smithsonian institution and at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; they range in value from $500 to $750 apiece. Thief Remembered Companions Aimerigos Tetenoire, an old French thief, had a band of 500 men under him and owned two castles in Limousin and Auvergne and bequeathed a fortune in the following terms: "I give and bequeath 1,500 francs ($300) to St. George's chapel for such repairs as it may need; to my sweet girl, who has so loyally loved me, 2,500 francs ($500), and the surplus I give to my companions. Let them scramble for it and may the devil seize the hindmost!" An Everlasting Problem. Ever since the amassing of great fortunes began there has been a great difficulty before the minds of the possessors as to how to dispose of them to the best advantage either to their immediate heirs or the needy among their fellow-men. Though it is the easiest thing in the world to give away money, it is an everlasting problem how to dispose of it properly.—"Table Talk." Melbourne. Brave Woman Pilots. Woman pilots are employed by the Danish and Scandinavian governments. Many Scandinavian captains say they prefer them to men, because they have more patience. Norway and Sweden also employ women in the mercantile marine; they do the same work as the men before the mast, and take their turn at night lookout duty. Adding Insult to Injury. "Perhaps," remarked the man with literary leanings, "it may be all right in general for the railroad satraps to shut off their pass supply for moral and financial reasons; but it is not excusable if, as a result, the literature of the land is to suffer by their uncalled for action. It is dead wrong to inflict such stuff as this, which I have just received from an official of one of the great railroads of this country which has an outlet from New York: The Good Book says: "Thou shalt not pass." Must skin his wad or hoof it. "Now what do you think of that as a melody of mellifluous measure? Will you please get aboard of the rhythm and the rhyme? Note the general construction. If their railroad was built like their poetry, what sort of business would it do? No, sir, the railroads can hold back their passes, but they mustn't ruin our literature by writing that sort of 'stuff.'" Romance and Reality. The young man had pulled the young woman up the hill on the toboggan, and was amazed to find her moodily silent when they reached the top. "What is wrong?" he asked. "If you had any romance about you, you would have taken advantage of the occasion and the opportunity to say that you would be happy to pull me up the hill of life forever and ever," she sighed. "But, I—but, I—" "But last summer when we were boating you said you could think of no brighter future than to drift together adown the stream of life." "I know, dear; but when a man pulls 150 pounds of a girl up a half-mile hill he hasn't enough breath left to say what he thinks. Drifting in a boat gives him more breath, and more time to think, and less laborious work for his arms."—Chicago Tribune. Got Back at Lawyer. The late Gustave C. Reichhelm, the noted analyst and problem composer, of Philadelphia, was a quiet and mild man, with a horror of squabbles, noise and excitement. "Mr. Reichhelm was once dragged out of his peaceful retirement," said a Philadelphia. "He had to go to New York to testify in a libel suit. "In his cross-examination the lawyer for the defense, unaware that he was dealing with a man of Mr. Reichhelm's note, said with a sneer: "I hope it isn't true that you said you were willing to testify for the other side if they would pay you better?" "Oh, no; that isn't true." Mr. Reichhelm answered calmly. "But suppose it had been true—then let me put the same question to you. If you had been offered a bigger fee wouldn't you have been on the other side yourself?" Rough on the Exports. If Ananias, who has been deceased for some little time, were now alive, he would, we fancy, hold himself out as an expert witness.—Law Clerk. First English Insane Asylum. In 1796 William Tuke, a Quaker, opened the first national asylum for the insane in York, England. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Dogs at Newport. Dogs have always been popular at Newport. Time was when it was usual to see pretty young women ride up and down Bellevue avenue with poodles of price at their sides—highpriced, high-bred pets, shaved in the most astonishing designs and all decked out in fancy ribbons and bells. Fashion has changed that, but pups are more popular than ever. There are pet dogs in Newport that cost $2,000 each. Agricultural Banks in Turkey. The empire of Turkey possesses an extensive system of agricultural banks under government management, the purpose of which is to furnish small loans to farmers. The capital is provided by a light annual tax on agricultural property. Principal agencies have been established in sixty-five cities, capitals of provinces or counties, and there are 803 branches in less important places. An Officeholding Family. At Guildford, England, the other day, upon the presentation of the honorary freedom of the borough to Ferdinand Smallpeice, who for upward of a quarter of a century filled the office of town clerk, it was stated that 400 years ago exactly Thomas Smallpeice was mayor of Guildford, and since then no fewer than thirteen other members of the family have filled the chair. One Prayer Always Answered. A friend tells me, says "M. A. P.," that he met Mr. Balfour one evening at a dinner party, when the conversation turned on the importance in life of self-confidence. My friend repeated the saying, "God gie us a guild concoct o' oorsels." Mr. Balfour heard it, and, beading across, added: "And that, sir, is the only prayer the gods always answer!" Second Time of Taking. A dignified gentleman in Liverpool, Rev. Mr. Radley, while at religious meeting, met with a slight accident. As he was about to sit down he missed his chair and fell with a thud on the platform. When at last it came to his turn to speak the chairman introduced him in these words: "Mr. Radley will again take the floor!" What Twenty Acres Will Do. It is estimated that twenty-two acres of land are necessary to sustain one man on fresh meat. The same space of land, if devoted to wheat culture, would feed forty-two people; if to oats, eighty-eight; potatoes, Indian corn and rice, 176, and if to the plantain or bread-fruit tree, over 6,000 people. Touching Benevolence. "We want the people not to patronize the hated opposition that is now springing up," wailed the man who represented an incompetent monopoly. "We are not afraid of competition, but we know the other people will lose money at their venture, and we can't bear to see them do it." Prince Henry a Musical Composer. The Emperor of Germany is not the only member of his family who finds time to do other things than those of state. Prince Henry of Prussia has composed a gavotte, which has been published at Leipsic.

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. Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlemen: It is always a pleasure to give expression to the faith that is in you. To say that I have faith in The Union Health and Accident Company but mildly expresses my feelings.

Montgomery contemplates a visit to Chicago to see her daughter. Mrs. Syl Stewart has gone to Atchison to visit her parents. The land near Peyton, Colo., 14 miles from Colorado Springs, has been thrown open for occupancy and many colored people of that section are taking advantages of the opportunities offered. The Woman's League will entertain uniquely at the home of Mrs. Irving Williams on Hallowe'en night, Oct. 31, by receiving their friends. How it will be you will have to come and see. Remember, 2227 Arapahoe street is the place and Thursday night is the time. C. A. Holly and J. R. Green have opened up a coal business at 1024 Twenty-second street and are already doing a nice business. They are hustlers and mean to please all customers and to have everybody's patronage in their neighborhood. Mr. O. E. Google, for 12 years inspector of the Prudential, at Terra Haute, Ind., and Pueblo, has taken charge down there and is making things hum. Nine weekly benefits were paid last week in Pueblo amounting to $45. The Commonwealth pays weekly in Pueblo the same as in Denver. The fact that they pay weekly gives them an immense lead over their competitors, who do not pay until after the member recovers. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mrs. Julia Moore, accompanied by her husband, Fred, came up from Colorado Springs to witness the presentation of the modern vaudeville by Jessie Nickens-Reese Thursday. Mrs. Dye Meadows of Colorado Springs stopped over Sunday to visit friends while en route to Goldfield. Miss Mary Tildon, sister of Malone Tilden, the deceased lawyer, spent a few days in Denver attending to some legal and real estate business. Lawyer Ross is her attorney as she is now temporarily located at Idaho Springs, Colo. Mr. Roy Tate and Miss Eva Nichols surprised their many friends by marrying Saturday afternoon, Rev. Ward of Shorter, A. M. E., church officiating. Mr. Tate comes highly recommended as an enterprising young man. Mr. and Mrs. Tate will take up their commodious quarters on Twenty-second, between California and Welton streets. The Statesman extends its greatest and best wishes of success. May all go well and happiness be with them. May their life's brief day glide on peaceful, bright and joyous, with no more shadow than can be reflected on a dewdrop. No more rain than can form a rainbow and may through life's fitful fever their lot be of peace, prosperity and progress. Miss Frankie Buchanan sang Ecstacy" Tuesday night at the Eureka Literary and so well was it enjoyed that she was impelled to respond to the hearty encore, "Because You Love Me Dear." The literary, as usual, was crowded almost to the door. Mr. Fields of Grand Junction, Colo., is now a visitor in Denver. Among those on the sick list week are Mrs. Nannie Harris, of 2413 Washington street, who is suffering from an accident caused by a cut finger from broken glass. Her finger healed on the outside, but a particle of glass was left on the inside and she has been suffering a great deal from it. She is drawing benefits weekly from The Commonwealth Life. The Sunshine Club entertained Tuesday evening in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Turner at the home of Mrs. Carpenter. Mrs. S. P. Macbeth and sister have returned from an extended trip in the East. Roller skating, the latest craze, is pronounced to be the most useful sport introduced to the American public. If our young ladies keep up the start they have made, do not be surprised to see the graceful carriage and health appearance of our ladies in the near future. Mrs. Henry Banks entertained Wednesday afternoon. Those present were Mesdames Gravit, White, Britt, Morris, King, Ogburn, Miller; Misses Maggie Johnson and Hortense White, and Emmet Webster. ANOTHER ASSEMBLY. It is reported that the Commonwealth Life is going to institute another assembly in Denver, probably in the neighborhood of Five Points. There are now 1,500 members of the Commonwealth in Denver and the members in that section are asking for a charter. This would entail no loss on Dunbar Assembly, as it would draw from the section which is so far away that the members do not get out now. The Commonwealth has certainly made great strides. In four towns throughout the states charters will be issued for new assemblies inside of the next two weeks. They will open offices in three new states January 1. President Harris, who has been out on a tour of inspection, reports that Pueblo Assembly is thriving and is taking in about 75 new members per month. Mrs. Lawrence Stephens has gone to Atchison for a visit for three weeks. The mask ball given by Wm. Knight at East Turner brought out considerable rivalry for the nicest and most grotesque costumes. The judges deliberated long before awarding the numerous splendid gifts and their final choice met with popular approval. The attendance was good and the entertainment perfect. Mrs. Susan Faw, mother of George and D. B. Faw and Mrs. Carrie Duncan, died Wednesday evening of old age at her daughter's home on Lawrence street. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the house. Her children and husband were at her bedside when the call came. The family nad reunited for the first time in years only last week, and the parting seems the sadder. Q. J. Gilmore was in charge of the obsequies. Rev. C. D. Douglas has returned to the city after an extended visit in Kentucky. The True Reformers will meet next Wednesday evening at 1712 Curtis street for the purpose of initiation and hearing the report of the delegates from the twenty-seventh annual session.

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.

Into a great bowl of sweetened tea, a statue of the god is placed; women bring their offerings, then taking up some of the tea with a ladle, pour it over the defenseless head of the placid god. From the same ladleful they help themselves, giving a sip to each of their little ones. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. In an army no larger than that of the United States the grade of lieutenant general is superfluous. Hitherto it has been used in recognition of distinguished military service rather than as a useful or necessary rank in the army. The office may be left unfilled and public sentiment should make it impossible for any president to fill it on any other ground whatever than that of eminently distinguished service in actual warfare. The rank of lieutenant general of the United States army should be a reward for special distinction in actual military service. It need not be abolished, but it should be kept sacredly by presidents and by people as a mark of special honor.—New York Sun. Senator's High Ideas. Senator W. A. Clark of Montana would have made an artist if he had not had the luck to be a millionaire. "I am fond of art and artists," said the senator last night at the reception at the Corcoran Art Gallery on the occasion of showing the fifty-six pictures of his collection, which is a most interesting one. It has cost the owner more than $700,000. "I sometimes wish," he continued, "that I had studied art." "What would have been your line, Senator?" he was asked. "Oh, I should have chosen great subjects. I would never have painted sheep or cattle or peasants. I should have chosen to paint lions."—New York Sun. Not So Dull. A professor, who when asked a question, was in the habit of saying— "That's a very good point, indeed; look it up for yourself,"—was once much disgusted with a student who had failed to answer a very simple question. "Mr. Jones," said he, "I'm surprised that you, who are going to teach, cannot answer such an elementary question. Why, what would you do if one of your pupils were to ask it?" "Well, professor," replied the other, "if such a thing had happened before I came here I'm afraid I would have said plainly that I didn't know; but now I think I'd do just as you do, and say—'look it up, my boy, look it up!'" His Modest Request. The great pianist at the drawing room function arose from his instrument and held up his hand. When the hubbub of voices died down he cleared his voice and spoke. "I do not ask," he said, "that you moderate your conversation to the point where you can hear me play. I don't care whether you hear me or not. But in order to do myself justice, I must request that you allow me to hear myself." In the silence that ensued he broke three strings and a plate glass window. A woman thinks that if worse comes to worst she can go on the stage. A man has an idea that after he has failed at everything else he can go to raising chickens. "Why," asked a man to-day, "do you exploit Sam Brouse so much as a fisherman?" He gives us fish.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Sr. Francis Xavier When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. 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." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Saturday's Denver Times said: The fight over the location of the Wyoming state capital, which will be voted on at the November election, grows more acute each day and it said Lander and Casper are preparing to expend large sums in securing its location. Sentiment throughout the state, however, seems to be rapidly crystallizing in favor of Cheyenne, and many taxpayers, even in Lander and Casper, will not vote for the removal of the capital. The following arguments are meeting with strong favor: Cheyenne, according to the lines of transportation, is the center of the state and can be reached more readily than any other city in Wyoming. In all probability this condition will continue for many years to come. Again, the state house here was constructed at a cost of almost $500,000. Its removal would plunge the state into a debt which would effect taxes directly and every industry in the state indirectly for several decades. At present taxes are comparatively low, but with a material increase in taxation many industries which are contemplating coming into the state would be detrred from doing so and the progress of Wyoming would be materially retarded. It is also evident that the removal of the capital would bring on bitter factional fights for years to come, which would result in obstructive legislation and have its effect on every part of Wyoming. The taxpayers of Wyoming realize this and a wave of sentiment in favor of the retention of the capital at Cheyenne has commenced which it is believed will sweep aside the jealousies that inspired the opposition to the seat of government remaining in Cheyenne. It was hoped that by putting four candidates in the field no city would obtain a majority of all of the votes, as required, and the location of the capital would be left open until one of these cities would gain a preponderance of power. The effect of this will be to incite strong factional fights every year until the question is finally settled and engender bitter feelings which would require years to overcome. Real estate values would be depressed, capital would refuse to invest, and these conditions would undoubtedly bring on business depression that would effect every industry in Wyoming and retard the progress of the state for years to come. Jewsharp Corner. With an extraordinary outlay of about $150 in gold coin, Dell Scully cornered the jewsharp market here, buying the last 500 of those instruments known to be in existence. These he distributed broadcast among the youngsters of the town and among the relic hunters of maturer age, and the testive twang of the hideous things was heard on all corners last night, to the discomfiture of all the cats and dogs in Astoria Christendom. The Astorian. Emerson Saluted by Swimmers. The following story was told by the Rev. Theodore Williams, late principal of Hackley, Mass., who was acquainted with Ralph Waldo Emerson: A number of boys were swimming in Walden pond, when Emerson was seen approaching. "Oh, there is Emerson," one said, and all scrambled for their hats. When he went by he had to pass a row of naked boys, who were taking off their hats to him. Emerson returned the politeness, as far as his hat went, but retained his apparel. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Only Road to Success. If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. You cannot commit greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.—John B. Gough. Watch Jewels Not Costly. A jeweler, no matter how dishonest, would not steal the jewels in a watch, for they are valueless; they cost only ten cents apiece. In antique watches the jewels were often costly. In modern watches they are never worth more than $15 a gross. Believe in Peculiar Remedy. In Transylvania the remedy prescribed for swelling of the glands of the neck is to steal a piece of bacon and bind a slice of it over the swelling. This is a soverign remedy for warts in Schleswig and Styria. BAD HABITS OF SLEEPERS. Many Devices Intended to Remedy Common Nuisances. Man is the victim of bad habits in his sleep as well as in his waking hours. So distressing are some of these habits of sleep that they oblige wife and husband to occupy separate rooms, even at times causing divorce. Snoring is, of course, the commonest if not the worst of sleep's bad habits. Snoring may be remedied. There are a dozen patented devices that, holding the mouth shut tight, prevent the snore. Grinding the teeth is a disagreeable habit of sleep. It is impossible to sleep in the same room with any one who emits at irregular intervals this hideous sound. The trick is said to be incurable, but a rubber cap worn on the teeth renders the grinding almost noiseless. Nervous persons sometimes leap in their sleep a foot or more in air, shaking the bed and the whole rc. The man who gives eight or of these leaps in the course of the right soon becomes an intolerable be. low. Nerve tonics and exercise should be prescribed for him. Nasal whistling is a habit less easy to cure than snoring. The sleeper keeps his mouth closed, but breathes with a distressing sound through his nose. The sound resembles a low whistle, and heard in the small hours is guaranteed to madden. HIS INFLUENCE WAS BAD. Congressman's Demoralizing Effect on Native Town. The old man on the postoffice steps was chewing his straw and frowning in high dudgeon. "You seem in a bad humor, uncle?" ventured the starch drummer. "Yaas, and, by heck, I ought to be," growled the old man. "This here town is going to the bowwows." "What is the cause of that?" "Why, Bill Binks, our congressman. We sent him to congress to make the town better, and it was better while he was away. But as soon as he came home with all the things he learned in Washington the sewing socials turned to bridge whist parties, the checker clubs turned to poker clubs and, he gooh, the spruce beer drinkers turned to cocktail drinkers. He's put the town to the bad, and the next time he goes away we are going to pay him extra to spend his loading months away from Bacon Ridge." PITCH TAYLOR AND THAD TAYLOR, PROP. CHAS.

From time to time there is a spasm of denunciation takes hold of our citizens in which they promulgate great anti-vice manifestos. When these are reported in the white press, a twist or coloring is given them which makes it seem that we state as a fact that young people are not merely exposed to temptation, but have actually already yielded to it in whatsoever form. For instance, the press of a week ago made the Sunday Alliance say that it considered our high school girls habitues of vice. It needs no denial to convince the public that the Alliance took no such stand. The colored school attendants are of as high moral worth as white students. They are guilty of no greater breaches of good conduct than the whites and it is only the coloring given it by the sensation-hunting reporter that makes us seem to condemn so rashly. Let us say of our young people what we may face to face, but let us stand before the world as claiming for them the highest virtue and morality for a prejudiced public will always enlarge upon anything derogatory. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. Under the name of the Colored American Novelty Company, a Washington concern, is seeking patronage from colored people, supplying pictures, books, etc. We are informed that Edward E.

Mrs. White, a widow who lives in Natick, Mass., tells of an old deacon who had recently lost his wife. Coming to her one day, he said: "Hannah, something told me to come here and ask you to be my wife. I think it must have been the Lord." "Oh, no." the widow replied quickly, "It couldn't have been the Lord, deacon, for he got here before you, and told me not to have you." --- PAGE & MS. $1.00 Three months..... lorado, as second class mailmatter.
