Mid-Winter Dance Given by Wm. Knight, Tuesday East Turner Hall Dec. 10 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN NINETEENTH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY DECEMBER 6, 1907 FIVE CENTS A COPY REV. DOUGLASS AT UNION Shows in Powerful Sermon Why We Should Be Thankful-Great Meeting. of Shorter A. M. E. church; J. E. Williams of Scott M. E. church, and John E. Ford of Zion Baptist church. We know why the union meeting was called and permanently fixed to become a part of the annual events of this community. This year, Rev. C. D. Douglass, the oldest pastor in the city, was chosen by all the pastors to speak, and Campbell A. M. E. church, of which J. S. Payne is the pastor, was the favorable place chosen for the meeting. To one of those who have not seen the beautiful inside of the church since it has been so thoroughly remodeled and rejuvenated, a wonderful surprise is in store for you. Those handsomely colored windows and freshly painted rafters which cast their shadows upon the blue canopy above, together with the orange and lemon colors, aided in reflecting the brightness of the occasion and the harmonious and inspired blessing for which the congregation was late in gathering together, but before the program was finished the church was crowded to standing room. On speaking of why we should be thankful, Rev. Douglass showed our duties to God and then toward each other. "We should be thankful to God for our health, life, sound mind, positions or means of our livelihood, for our prosperity in the material, our progress in the intellectual, musical and spiritual development, for our chance to be and become a helper of Him by and through our philanthrophy and charity toward the less fortunate and clinching his thought with, "Be ye reconciled to God," as he warmed up to his climax. In discussing the duties of man to man, the many problems of our day have to be faced, regardless as to their popularity or not. Statesman—Bal 6—Nov 5 . . . D B K While many may not agree with the reverend in his ideas of dealing with policy, gambling and all kinds of vice, yet they must assent and admire his manner of logical presentment from his viewpoint. He was bold, courageous, outspoken and unrelenting upon the weak and backboneless Christians. It takes a man to speak his convictions, which may be or are unpopular to the majority of the audience. He argued so broadly and conservatively that he allowed all to differ with the questions, yet called a spade a spade, and not an excavator. In his appeal which was very pathetic and touching, especially to those garbed and heavily draped in black, when he referred to the "vacant chair" at the table, formerly occupied by either the mother, father, sister, daughter or friend. Sobs and silent crying could be seen trinckling down from the through the audience, while tears could be seen trinkling down from the eye of many of the auditors. The different announcements were made and the audience all joined in heartily singing, "God be with you till we meet again," and the union meeting adjourned to meet next Thanksgiving. BLIND BOONE AT SHORTER Brilliant Success—Wonderful Master of Himself—Rev. Ward Praised For Musical Treat. We feel sorry for those disappointed people who had the misfortune, because of their own lateness, to be turned away without hearing Blind Boone. If they be true lovers of music and art, they will never know what they have missed. Efforts can be made to tell and explain about and strongly depict this man, blind almost since his birth, whose acquisition of a complete musical training and which being reinforced and combined with his native genius, easily ranks him high in the professional class, especially as he sat at the piano which he has never seen in his life, but which he handles with the artist's touch, yet something will be lacking to truly complete the peculiar effect. Stories, explanations and pictures, however well drawn, can not make the vivid impression on one's soul as the sight of the man performing and to that extent they sustained an incalculable loss. The first peculiarity in Blind Boone that strikes the observer is the swaying back and forth of his body, in this, like Blind Tom, whose constant motion is with his fingers. The program was fine from the military march to the end, including nearly every grade of composition from Liszts', Hungarian rhapsodies No. 6 and Beethoven concerts and Sonatas to the latest popular and lively ragtime song. There is something passing strange about ragtime, too, because of the irresistible effect it has not only upon the performer, but also his audience. When he sang and played his third selection he had completely won the house, "As long as I can feel the spirit moving in my heart I shall pray," to which air, as with some others, hundreds of toes lightly kept in complete unison with the musical wonder. When his own composition, "The Tornado of Marshfield," (Mo.) was rendered, the audience sat as if spellbound, when the music sank to a perceptible whisper, but as the thundering crescendo filled the church the applause shook the building. Every one bowed their heads in reverent wonder as the church hymn rang out from the crashing, roaring, thundering tornado. The winds whistled, the thunders bellowed, the tornado roared, and the keen lightning flashes were assisted by the disturbed elements. Miss Emma Smith, whose deep cold and shortage of breath because of the altitude, put her in a great handicap as she sang some popular airs very sweetly and intelligently. Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook was the volunteer who played so excellently and whose applause from the audience demonstrated their feeling toward her. To those who understand Soul Culture, the plantation songs as sung and interpreted by Blind Boone was shown a keen appreciation and sympathy for all sides of the strange life forced from the negroes in the former days of plantation life. To think that a highly sensitized soul as his could get into such fullness of harmony with our own lamented Dunbar's words, expressions and soul life as to receive such vibrations as would THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. DAMAGE DONE BY WOLVES. Ranchmen Suffer Heavily From Depredations of Animals. Vernon Bailey, of the forest reserve bureau at Washington, who has been making an investigation of the ravages of wolves on the ranches of the southwest, reports that in a certain part of New Mexico he learned that a moderate estimate of the stock killed by four wolves of which he got trace was a yearling cow or a calf every three days, or approximately 100 head of cattle to each wolf. "Counting all as calves," says Mr. Bailey, "at the low rate of $10 a head, each wolf would at this rate cost the ranchmen $1,000 a year. This estimate of $4,000 for the four wolves leaves out of consideration the five to ten hungry offspring of each pair, which begin to kill stock for themselves in the fall and continue to do so as long as they live."

"If the prominence and importance of that optic continues to increase we shall one day be a left-eyed race. In more than half the patients I treat the left eye is already considerable larger than the right, it is brighter and it lasts longer. If you want to find out which eye is stronger try to read first with one then with the other unassisted by its mate. Nine times out of ten that test shows how much more useful the left-eye is than the right. "I devoutly hope that I shall never lose either of my eyes, but if one has to go I just as devoutly hope that it will be the right. There was a time when the superstitious, and even specialists on eyes believed that only left-handed people were also left-eyed. That theory is now exploded. Overdevelopment of the left eye is in danger of becoming a disease, the peculiar effects of which are already apparent in many faces." She Fixed the Candy. A Brooklyn woman, just returned from a visit to a relative in Canala, was telling of her pet niece, a child of about 8 years, who came bounding into the room with a box of chocolate peppermints, the gift of another relative. "Do have some, Aunt Sis," said Edna. "No, thank you, dear," said her aunt. "I like peppermints, but not with chocolate covers." Little Edna looked disappointed, then left the room hurriedly, as though struck with an idea. A few minutes later she returned with a handful of white candies. "Now, you can have peppermints, Aunt Sis," she said, delightedly. "I licked all the chocolate off." Most Wasteful of Cooks. To live to waste seems an unwritten maxim of English life. Our cooking, the cooking of our working and agricultural classes, is about the most wasteful cookery on earth. The French peasant will live, and live well, on what we discard. It is said than one hundred millions sterling a year are added to the national wealth of France by the saving-habits of her people.—C. B. Fry's Magazine. Doing it Up. "This bill is too high," said the customer. "Too high?" ejaculated the laundryman. "That's what I said; too high." But, man, do you know how long it takes to do up a shirt?" "Why, about four washings." Mrs. Knox, wife of the Yonla senator, makes an odd gift occasionally to some of her more intimate woman friends-a dainty packet containing five pounds of butter. Her eldest son, Reed Knox, owns a fine farm near Valley Forge and it is there that the butter is made. She furnished the butter for the president's Thanksgiving dinner.

Old Social Custom of Forefathers Is Passing Away. Here is a thing that would be regarded as curious by our grandmothers, if they were alive to know it—calling and visiting are going out of "fashion." Ministers and doctors make calls, but of a professional character, and when a foreign ship arrives in our harbor its captain must exchange calls with the commandant of the navy yards, but that is professional, too, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The old habit of running into a neighbor's house and chatting about the weather, and the neighbor's clothes, and the doings of the Smiths and the iniquity of the Jones children, whenever there was a lull in the washing and dressmaking, is in decline, however, and it is no longer proper to go and live on our cousins in the country for more than a month, in the supposition that this visitation is a visit The Philadelphia Shake. The English high handshake which raged to such an extent in this city, says the Philadelphia Record, at one time that some of its devotees are said to have practiced it on stepladders, has now entirely disappeared, and, according to an authority on such subjects, is to be replaced by another form of salutation which consists in thrusting the hand straight out, giving one quick grip without any up and down motion, and then instantly withdrawing it. Whether people who like this no better than they liked the high shake will be forced to adopt it for awhile, as was the case with the other fad, will depend on the violence and extent of the new epidemic. The origin of this latest style, by the way, is supposed to be a fear of germs, the idea being that since handshaking cannot be dispensed with altogether, it should be as brief a performance as possible. Explanation by the Court. In an appeal from a justice's court the justice accompanied the transcript with the following explanation: "This affidavit is overruled by the court on the ground of ignoring the court when requested to wait and hear the opinion of the court in regard to a continuance. And with his hat on his head, a cigar in his mouth, the said James Harvey went out, saying he did not care what I done with the case.—S. H. Mitchell, Justice of the Peace." Woman Bertillon Expert. Miss Neil Havens, of San Francisco, is the only woman recognized by the government as an expert in photography. She has studied the Bertillon system of identification and pictures taken by her are accepted by authorities equal to those made by Bertillon himself. Tea as a Libation. The Chinese have a curious way of worshiping the statue of Buddha, with their favorite beverage. 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. A.1 Pieces But the Pawn. The archbishop of Canterbury, on one occasion, when addressing the members of a chess club, said that though he "was not a distinguished chess player, he could claim to be a representative of chess in an unusual degree, for he had seen a good deal of kings and queens, had lived in two castles and was the only living man who was both a knight and a bishop, so that he represented all the pieces except the pawn." Hottentot. The origin of this name for the natives of South Africa is peculiar. It is said that the early Dutch soldiers at the Cape of Good Hope particularly noticed the click that forms so distinct a feature of the Kafir language, which sounded to them like a continuous repetition of the syllables "hot" and "tot." They therefore called the natives Hottentots, the "en" meaning "and" in the Dutch language. Dog Days. Bill—Did you get any frankfurters while you were on your vacation? Jill—No; I asked for 'em several times, but they told me they were out of season. "That's all nonsense! You were away during the dog days, weren't you?"—Yonkers Statesman. A Beat All-Around. "The count's rich wife said he beat her." "His creditors said he did the same thing to them."—Baltimore American. LEADER KNEW NO FALTERING. Even After Death John Ziska Inspired His Adherents.

He is well pleased with his trip and is looking fine. Thomas Clingman is the new proprietor of the Elk club at 1855 Arapahoe street. He will have associated in the conduct of the business two well-known men insuring the best of treatment for all patrons. At the residence of J. H. Byrd, there happened the sweetest event of the season last Wednesday night. A candy pulling was given by Mrs. Byrd. Mr. Waymond Ward won the title of being the champion potato racer, while the "Two Masons" won the booby prizes in pining the donkey's tail. An enjoyable time was the result of that evening. As Christmas draws nigh, one is sure to think of himself, his relatives, his friends and acquaintances, but seldom of those men who for the protection of our lives and safety of public property stake life and all in the sacrifice to their duty—that is our firemen. Have you thought of them in relation to Christmas? Have you ever considered that a box of cigars, a jug of cider, a box of candy, or a few dollars or a bouquet of flowers would be thoroughly appreciated by them? How nice and joyful is it to know you are being thought of, but how much nicer is it to know and realize in all sincerety and substance that your work for the past year has been appreciated by a small token of remembrance. We have colored policemen, a juvenile officer, letter carriers and a fire department whose efforts have been so excellently valued that the good people of Denver will not let this occasion pass without some sort of a remembrance to these public officials. A pie, a fruit cake, will cheer their hearts and make them believe you value your own. Let us give in remembrance and we will be remembered. Santa Claus will then be in reality from the letter carriers on down. GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. The concert given by the A. M. E. choir last Thursday proved a great success. We indeed have much to thank Miss Anna Newman (choirrister) for, as she has brought out and displayed talent that was never heard in Grand Junction before. The program was as follows: Instrumental solo .... Miss B. Price Opening—"Old Kentucky Home".. Supper was served after the concert and a goodly sum was realized, which will go toward buying new books. On behalf of the choir I wish to thank those who so kindly assisted us last Thursday evening. MISS ANNA NEWMAN, Choirister. Mr. and Mrs. J. Harris have moved to their new home in Little Africa. Mrs. J. Mapps is indisposed with a severe cold. Miss Minnie Smith elaborately entertained the Carnation Art club Wednesday at the home of Mrs. M. Lowe. The club is working hard this winter and it is hoped their efforts will be crowned with success. Miss Dora Newman is unable to be about as she met with an almost serious accident last Tuesday. Two heavy flat irons fell on her left foot. No bones were broken, though. The foot was injured to such an extent that Miss Newman will be forced to forego her public duties for some time. The new home of Mr. and Mrs. Elliah Hines, three and a half miles east of town, will soon be ready for occupancy. We wish the old couple much joy in their new home. Mrs. F. Miller, of Kansas City, is expecteing her husband in the city soon. Mr. and Mrs. Miller may locate here permanently. Mrs. Miller has been in the city but a few weeks, but she has made a host of friends, so it is to be hoped her husband will like the little burg as well as she does. Her many friends will be loth to part with her. Germany's Population. The population of the German empire has now exceeded the 60,000,000 figure. It has doubled within seventy-two years.

LOGAN, Manager What Some of the World’s Great Men Preferred to Drink. The entertaining author of “Collec tions and Recollections” has been writing on the favorite beverages of great men. Thackeray's choice was claret. He said that “our intellect ripens with good cheer and throws off surprising crops under the influence of that admirable liquid, claret.” Mr. Gladstone, to whom the other pleas- ures of the table meant nothing, was a stickler for port, a believer in it, a judge of it. Mr. Russell says that the only feeble speech he ever heard from Gladstone was made after dinner at an otherwise hospitable house, where wine was not suffered to appear. Lord Tennyson drank his bottle of port every day, and drank it undecant- ed, for, as he justly observed, a de canter holds only eight glarses, but a black bottle nine. Mr. Browning, if he could have his own way, drank port all through dinner, as well as after it. Sir Moses Montefiore, who lived to complete his hundred years, drank a bottle of port wine every day after he came to man’s estate. Mr. Finching, the wine merchant in “Little Dorritt,” thought champagne “weak but palata- ble,” and Lord St’ Jerome, in “Lo thair,” was esteemed by the young men a patriot “because he always gave his best champagne at his ball sup bers."—Town and Country.

Exploration and Discovery Ne Longer Left to the Sterner Sex. Not long ago the triumph of a wo- man who had ascended one of the Himalaya peaks to a height hitherto unequaled by any mountain climber was duly chronicled. A few days later a foreign uews item announced the at- rival in South Africa of an American young woman who secks the jungle in order to study the language of the monkey tribe. She is alone in her daring quest and appears to have a full realization of {ts perils. Still another venturesome woman Is Margaret Selenka, of German birth, who {is to head an important scientific expedition to Java in the early part of the coming year. She goes there in the endeavor to establish the identity of a fossil man-ape found on the island, as the so-called missing link. It is evident that these women are admitting no handicap because of their sex. They are courageously en- tering regions that few men have pen- etrated and their action suggests that it may not be long before the suprem- acy of the sterner sex in the fields of exploration and discovery will be very seriously questioned.

Mrs. L. V. Greer, of Trinidad, is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Marshall. Mrs. J. W. Wilson is able to out again. Miss Mary Brown, of Independence, Mo., arrived in our city last Wednesday. Mrs. E. C. Rucker, of Rocky Ford, was a Lajunta visitor Thanksgiving. Mr. Geo. Gross and family was in Lajunta Sunday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Green. Mr. and Mrs. McKenny, of Lasanimas, Colo., attended the Thanksgiving exercise at the A. M. E. church. The Thanksgiving supper served by the ladies of Hubbard Chapel, A. M. E. church, was a grand success. The attendance was fairly good and a neat sum was realized. The Thanksgiving program rendered under the auspices of the Allen Literary Society, was very good. Miss Bessie Vernon has been elected assistant secretary of the Allen Literary Society. Mrs. James S. Scott is on the sick list. Mrs. L. V. Greer had the sad accident to get her ankle very badly sprained just as she was leaving Trinidad enroute for Lajunta. Sunday was rally day at Hubbard Chapjel. The services both at 11 o'clock and 7:30 were, as usual, interesting and the financial result showed that noble efforts were not put forth in vain. The parsonage is almost completed. It is a neat little structure, of which we as a church should be proud. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock Mrs. Spencer Green and daughter, little Miss Emma, entertained to a sevencourse dinner, complimentary to Mrs. Fannie Mickleberry, of Natchitoches, La., sister of Mrs. Green. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Badget, Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Zach Badget, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross. Mr. and Mrs. Will Adams, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Winchester. Mrs. Mickleberry, Miss Beatrice Tyler, Mr. R. B. Jones and Miss Susie Starkey, Miss Emma's guests were: Master George Gross, Miss Della Adams, Misses Corilla and Carrie Gross, Masters James and Frank Gross. Mrs. Green and daughter was attisted by Mrs. Will Adams and Miss Susie Starkey. The table was beautifully decorated in red and white. After dinner the many guests departed for a surrey drive over the city. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. The Thanksgiving entertainment and ball, given under the auspices of the Shriners of Ora Temple No. 9, was a success in every way and reflected much credit both on the order and those taking part in the entertainment. A regular Thanksgiving supper was served by the ladies. Dancing was then indulged in by the young folks until the "wee small hours." The third meeting of the Albuquerque Whist club was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Coleman Tuesday evening. The meetings are looked forward to with delight, each member striving to have something a tiny bit different from his predecessor. Mr. and Mrs. quite captured the other members by having as favors turkey in the straw. The Home Missionary Society gave a mission tea Monday afternoon from 1 to 6 at the residence of Mrs. J. B. Lott. It was quite a pleasant affair and every one present seemed to be having an enjoyable time. Martin Ferguson, the train porter on the passenger train that was wrecked last Saturday a short ways from the city, was only slightly injured. His escape was marvelous. The A. M. E. church had the grand rally Sunday as scheduled with splendid results. The proceeds will be used for trustee department. Rev. A. H. Henderson is presiding at the Mount Olive Baptist church during the absence of Rev. C. P. Crawford. --- The colored citizens of the city grow tired of having so many subscription lists in circulation at the death of a member of their race, who has no money to bury themselves, have organized a burial association with the hopes that it will remedy the subscription evil. The institution is growing rapidly, and has bright prospects for a success. The officers are: T. O. Mason, president; Res. Byar, vice president; J. B. Lott, secretary, M. M. T. Watson, treasurer; trustees, Rev. Crawford, K. C. Penman, D. Austin, J. W. Ward and V. Green. Ivory Chapter Eastern Star are making preparations for their annual installation, December 9. Their installation has been delayed somewhat owing to their previous installations. Their many friends anticipate spending a delightful evening. The following ladies entertained a few friends at their respective homes with the customary Thanksgiving menu: Mrs. E. T. Ellsworth, Mrs. W. V. Jasper, Mrs. A. B. Montgomery, Mrs. W. T. Thornton and Mrs. C. F. Payne. Important among the entertainment scheduled to take place this month will be the concert and hop given by the K. of P. lodge, December 26, 1907. work or expense to make this the event of the year.

The traveler selects his own house when he enters a settlement, walks in and sits down by the stove. Indeed he scarcely waits for the invitation to "sit in" when the family goes to meals, the people of this coast being much given to hospitality. When night comes on he simply takes off his boots and—stays. It may be he will have to share a bunk with one of the household, or perhaps he has a bed in "the room;" that depends on his social position. If room is short he will turn in on a settle, or simply lie down on the floor. I have slept on a settle under which the hens lived in winter and rested as soundly as on any feather bed, the only inconvenience being that now and again I had to grope after the rooster, which persisted in thinking it was morning long before I did. The first question asked a stranger on his entering a house will not be "What is your business?" It is certain to be "Have you been to tea?" For our national drink is tea, and a drunken man is seldom or never seen. Indeed we have become a prohibitions coast.—London Standard. SADDLE OF HUMAN SKIN. Remarkable Object in Possession of Philadelphia Man. Human skin can be prepared, tanned and made into durable articles as successfully as can the skin of horses and other animals. The resulting leather is very much like dogskin or pigskin. William Hansell of Philadelphia has the largest article which has ever been known to be made from human skin—a beautiful pure white saddle—and any one examining it would be at a loss to tell the kind of skin from which it is made. The pores have a familiar look, but the skin itself is of an astonishing thickness. The saddle was made from the skin of a man. A woman's skin, generally speaking, would be too delicate. Human skin leather is a very rare article and there is no general trade in it. Sometimes a physician will have a piece, made into a cover for an instrument case, and occasionally medical students get enough to be made into a purse or a pair of slippers. Patients sometimes have a belt or a book made from a limb which has been amputated. About So Far. A senator from a central western state sought an interview with the president, asking him to appoint to a foreign consulate an applicant to whom the senator was in some way bound, but who was heartily disliked by reason of his offensive persistence in seeking favors. "Where do you want him sent?" the senator was asked. At this the senator took a step or two to the center of the room, where stood a large globe. Putting one arm around it as far as he could reach, the senator said: "I don't know what locality my finger touches, but please send him there!"—Harper's Weekly. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD. Death of a Wounded Bull Saved the Hunting Party. "I was kneeling, while my men lay flat on their faces," writes C. G. Schillings in his "With Flashlight and Rifle," of an elephant hunting incident. "I sent two more bullets into the male elephant. The whole herd then gathered around an old remale elephant and broke away in a quick shuffle. Since they turned to the right I enjoyed the grand sight of twenty-four elephants passing at a distance of about 450 feet. The wounded male passed a little nearer to me and I could not refrain from firing at him once more. The whole herd stopped, took the young ones into their midst, looked around and sniffed the air. "They discovered us, and, led by two females, they came to attack us. The situation became very critical, for in the long run the animals were bound to overtake us. I fled as fast as my feet would carry me in the wake of my men, who were running away from the animal at a right angle. They knew, as I did, that the elephant's sense of sight is weak and that our only chance of escape lay in changing, from time to time, the direction of our flight. "We did not dare look around, but hurried on in breathless haste. The thundering, dull noise of the pursuing elephants came nearer and nearer. Then suddenly a piercing, trumpet-like sound was heard above the dull noise. Turning around I saw the wounded animal falling into a sitting posture and the rest of the herd is wild flight away from us." Ants Set Good Example. "Crossing the road in the park." writes a visitor to Panama, "I observed a curious thing. Green leaves, thousands of them, each the size of a small oak or maple leaf, were moving in regular marching order along the road, a continuous line, as far as the eye could reach. It proved to be an army of ants, each one carrying a leaf on its back, which completely hid its little body. On closer view I saw a parallel line of ants returning unloaded, or empty-backed, to the place of supply up a rather long, steep hill. In crossing the roadway the driver of our carriage stupidly ran over both lines. A few ants fell out, never to go back, but the broken ranks instantly filled and the procession moved on unceasingly as before. During the busy season these soldier ants march day and night, laying in their supply of food. If some of the dirty and lazy-looking Panamans I saw in the city would be forced to follow the example of the soldier ants things might be different on the isthmus." --- Many English society women are the owners of jewels worth the providential king's ransom. Perhaps the largest collections belong to the duchess of Portland and the duchess of Marlborough, but Viscountess Iveagh is the possessor of one of the most valuable necklaces in England. Her pearls are worth over $350,000, and took Lord Iveagh a long time to collect. Lady Rothschild, the countess of Dudley, the countess of Annesley and Lady Denman all own most beautiful pearls. The duchess of Roxburghe and the Marchioness of Dufferin both have a large number of turbines. Jewels of English Women. Opposes Church Inventory. Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, has addressed a circular letter to the priests of his diocese in which he declares that he will never permit the tabernacles to be opened for the agents charged with making inventories of church goods and instructs them to declare on their words of honor as priests the number and the value of sacred vessels, but on no account to open the tabernacles.

E. Azalia Hackley, our soprano, who has recently returned from Paris, is booked up to April for engagements in the different parts of the country. G. Grant Williams is her business manager. During the coming season Earnest Hogan and his new show, "The Oyster Man," with "Willie Vodery" as musical director, S. H. Dudley and the "Black Politician" with his new mule and Williams and Walker in "Bandana Land," their latest play, will be the attractions for the colored people of Philadelphia to enjoy this winter. Three hundred teachers are now wanted in the Philippines. Persons passing the examination of the teacher or assistant given by the U. S. Civil Service Commission, are eligible to be appointed. The People's Sunday Alliance will have a Xmas. tree for the poor and sick of color. Mesdames. Lizzle Froman, Chas. C. W. Buford and A. G. Fallings are the ladies who will conduct the affair. Judging from their last success a rare treat will be rendered Sunday. Come out and bring your friends. The young ladies Wednesday night organized a basket ball team. Those prominently identified with the movement are Misses. Gertrude Nichols, Grace Montgomery, Marie Jeter and Ida Banks. No better movement can be put forth for the development of health and there is no doubt but that several teams will be the result. Lawyer F. H. Bryant spent Thanksgiving and the remaining days until Sunday night at Boulder as guest of Mrs. Hall. While there he was royally entertained, especially upon one occasion, when A. W. Lewis, ex-presi- Denver Roller Skating East Turn dent of the People's Sunday Alliance of this city, was the toastmaster. Mr. Bryant appropriately represented Denver. Mrs. Eva Nichols-Tate lies at the hospital in a dangerous condition at this writing, as the result of a very skillful and extremely critical operation. The operation, though so far has been successful, yet the patient had but one chance to live out of ten chances to die. The danger of paralysis and complications of various natures are thought mostly to be passed, yet the doctor does not assure against the impossibility. Her present condition, while serious is so favorably reported that there are many more hopes and chances of ultimate recovery than at first entertained when the spark of life held alive by the single flame only to be fed and kindled by the feeding and strong use of strychine. Her inflexible faith and indomitable will toward final recovery is the chief asset that has sustained her. She is filled exuberance of hope which is very gratifying to her host of friends. Thrift among the colored Americans is a thing to be commended. Hence we take pleasure in noting that Miss Carrie Hopkins is one of the latest to show thrift. She having opened up a well apointed manicure and chiropody parlors in the Eitel building, at the corner of Second and Pike streets. Too much can not be said of her integrity, so says the Seattle Searchlight. Miss Hopkins is a former Denverite, who used to live in the 2300 block on Glenarm Place. The Taka Art club will meet at the home of Miss Gibson Wednesday. The club is progressing nicely with a full membership. E. GOENS, President. E. WALDON, Secretary. THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institution that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a guarantee that the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many companies soliciting business whose resources are less than three hundred dollars, and more than twenty of them have failed during the past few years. It would appear that there is no chance of their success, in view of the fact that the people have their choice of a strong or weak concern, the cost of insuring being the same. Denver, Colo., Nov. 22, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co., City. Gentlemen:—In view of the many expressions of appreciation and encouragement that your company is constantly receiving from satisfied policy holders, I have little to add, except that I am heartily in accord with your methods of furnishing absolute protection.

Yours truly, H. L. WILLIAMSON The Whittier centenary is fast com- ing upon us. Wherever there are as many as ten negroes there ought to be on December 17th, a meeting in nonor of this man, whose pen was charged with God's lightning and who used his gifts to advance the liberty of man and to sing the glories of heaven. He was never the kind of poet he aspired to be until the cause of the slave aroused his other self. What he wrote, and how he sang fs recorded in the Emapcipation Procla mation. He touched men’s hearts, shamed a truant clergy, turned his lyre with harmonies of heaven and liberated a people. His virtues need no extolling. But the negro people ought to celebrate him, because to fail to do so is to be construed as meaning that ingratitude has their hearts and is not that ingratitude, the basest of all sing? In New York, the Whittier oration will be delivered by @ prominent race orator and at the same time; the Rev. Dr. C. E.

I have found her zealous, industrious, deeply spiritual and missionary in her activities. Her spiritual attainment has not been on the surface, as is with many. Since her residence in Denver, I personally know she has resolutely borne some particularly hard burdens, in the way of making her own living, taking care of a sick hus- band and sometimes her own health threatening her to give up, but with an unfaltering faith in God and an un- shaken confidence and trust in His promises she has per- severed and triumphed. How she has found time to com- pose her mind, arrange her thought and construct verses has been little less than a mystery to her friends as well as to myself. Her soul best expresses itself in Christian service and song. She is never so happy as when minis- tering to the sick, lifting the fallen one, comforting the distress, helping the needy or pointing sinners to the bet- ter life. Her verses, therefore, grow out of a real experi- ence of close contact with the conditions which she puts into song. She has had intimate contact with ali condi- tions of life and knows how to express the feelings and sorrows of those who are in trouble. The one blessed thing of her verses is there is not a note of pessimism in them, they all breathe the jubilant spirit of hope and joy. In her vision, “the present light afflictions which are but for a moment worketh for us afar more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” The writer, as she says in her biography, lays no claim to education or even acquaintance with poets or their works, yet | am surprised in examining her manu- script at the correct language, the meter and rythm of her lines, very few of which I have corrected, preferring to overlook the grammatical flaws in order to get at the sense and feeling she desired to express. It is for this reason that we do not particularly point to the literary excellence of the work. The author is herself an example of what she teaches, therefore, sends these verses out to the world to inspire many and show them the way to be happy even amid difficulties. 1 bespeak for the little book a happy journey, a hearty reception and a coveted place in your sympathy and library.

Alaskan Mine Has Probably the Largest Ever Found. It is not an uncommon thing to see men who have enough greenbacks to choke an elephant, but it's not often that one meets a man with a gold nugget large enough to make even a horse sick if he had to try to eat it without having it run through a quartz mill. There is a man in Los Angeles, Cal., however, who has the nugget, and he is the Klondike king, Clarence Berry, who has come from Alaska on a visit to his brother. The nugget might be likened to a man's hand with the palm turned upward, for it is over six inches long, almost four inches wide, is an inch thick at the thickest part and "weigh3" $1.510. There are few men who can dig such chunks of gold out of their own mines, but Clarence Berry is one of these lucky miners. He is one of the pioneers of the gold mines of Alaska, and having been one of the first men to get to the various rich diggings, his energy and perseverance have been rewarded with a large amount of gold. How much no one knows but he, and he won't tell. MADE FORTUNE ON RACE TRACK. One Man Has Won Where Thousands Have Come to Ruin. Frank England, a Jersey City man 37 years old, says that he has won a fortune of $150,000 by betting at the race tracks. He started with a capital of 75 cents and has accumulated a sufficient sum to keep him in comfort for the rest of his life. That's one case; for that one we will venture the prediction that there are 100 instances where men have started with a fortune of $150,000 and wound up with 75 cents as a result of gambling on horse races. Every dollar that Mr. England won came out of some other man's pocket. The man who starts with 5 cents capital, who engages in legitimate business and who by good management and thrift succeeds in collecting a sum equal to that which Mr. England possesses benefits the community. He helps to create wealth, while the gambler who wins has merely enriched himself entirely at the expense of others. Sermons by Time. "I have attended church in a good many different places,' said the southern man, "but I had to come to New York to see a man preach holding his watch in his hand. Down in our part of the country the pulpit orator is usually long-winded. He has a certain subject in mind and has certain things to say concerning it, and he holds forth until he has said them all if it takes till bedtime to do it. "Up here the time that can be devoted to the delivery of a sermon appears to be limited. In order not to overstep the bounds several clergymen that I have heard talked literally by the watch. They did not lay it down or stick it into a convenient pocket to be consulted occasionally, but held it out face up as a constant reminder that time was fleeting and that other pressing engagements awaited them. That may be an excellent preventive of weariness in the congregation, but I must say it makes me uncomfortable to have spiritual advice measured by the minute and second."—N. Y. Press. THE STATESMAN.

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."

A curious thing about Canadian forests is that there are no snakes, and even from a description the Indian guides did not seem to understand what a snake would be like. Fishing all through Canada is as good as the hunting, and should one fail to bag a moose he is fully recompensed for the trip by the abundance of other game, including bear and deer. There is a weird melancholy about Canadian forests, with their hundreds of small lakes and rivers scattered here and there, and although the scenery never rises to the magnificent, there is something haunting aside from the sport in it, that draws the hunter back season after season. Canada is filled with legends and strange superstitions, most of them of Indian origin, and all of them interesting to a degree, especially when related by one of the Indian guides who can be induced to talk—Leslie's Weekly. A Skating One. Yvette Guilbert, the famous French actress, is an excellent skater. In the Bols de Boulogne, in Paris, there is an ice rink where Mme. Guilbert's skating is one of the principal attractions. Talking about skating in New York one day, Mme. Guilbert said: "It is only through perseverance that one learns to skate well. I am sure no one ever suffered more than I in learning to skate. "I remember one day in my girlhood, the second or third time I had ever been on the ice, I was returning home in a crowded omnibus, and a kind old man got up and offered me his seat. "I shook my head, and the old man laughed a good deal when I said: "'No, thank you. I've been skating. and I'm tired of sitting down.'" Longing for Country Life. A strange thing is the universal longing of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do return, and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man himself, but he thinks it is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end one's days is very general. Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of a man through the world to that of the hare which is started from her lair and after a long chase and making a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started.

COLORED ORPHANS AND OLD FOLKS' HOME ASSOCIATION DONATIONS enable him to set the "Thanksgiving Turkey Melody" to music! There is a higher law bu which all these strange phenomena are governed. Blind Boone is only a higher spiritualized soul that can receive soul impressions on his plane. His peculiar actions, the manifestations of the soul's spirit are just as natural to respond in sympathy in a genius or highly sensitized soul as the note C on the violin will sympathize with C played on the piano. Like attract like, and the great law of cause and effect is explained. Now it is that one can appereciate so thoroughly DuBois' "Soul of Black Folk." The Sewing Circle (white) gave three dozen new and valuable articles of wearing apparel, through the persistent efforts of our friend, Mrs. Chas. Porter. The Missionary Society of Zion Baptist church, $5.00 on two occasion. Five dollars from an interested young lady friend of the institution, who wishes her name suppressed. Mrs. Travick, one stove. Mr. Curtis, one turkey and seven rugs. Rev. C. G. Smith, one basket of fruit. The negro, as a race, has been growing and is growing more sensitized and as a result is manifesting pscyhic powers to a marked degree. Despirations are poured out in all direction as never before during the historic period. Even now in Philadelphia, we have another musical wonder like Blind Boone and Tom, who goes around in the aristocratic neighborhood and sings for a living. Like Boone and Tom, his wonderful power is best shown in the higher departments of the classical art. The concert coming and being in the month when Jesus, the greatest genius, was born, serves to lend additional strength to the already marvelously conducted success in every particular. Inventions, discovery, research, are in evidence, while literature of all kinds comes in floods and from pulpit and platform, the divine afflaters pours in tremendous streams. Mr. R. Anderson, sweet potatoes. Mr. A. A. Ealey, one turkey. Mrs. Chas. Fairbanks, celery. Mrs. Lilly Lewis, sugar. Master Alexander Keelan, rice. Mrs. M. Keelon, can goods. Mrs. A. A. Ealey, cranberries. Mrs. Chas. White, tomatoes. Mrs. Frank Jerome (white) two large pictures and two beds complete. Mrs. Green (white) package of clothes. Mr. Geo. Willis stove pipe. Rev. Prestige (white) money. Mrs. Mary Dixon, vegetables. Messrs. Cowell and Bond, two tons of coal. Mrs. Gibson, flour, molasses, money. Mrs. Lawson, preserves. Mrs. Mike Thomas, donation. There is a political club being organized with special view to the coming city election. A meeting was held this week. U. S. Baker is the president for the time being. The coming of Blind Boone only shows us the developing power of man to feel the finer vibrations and though he does not and may not ever know the real reason and does not understand the power, yet, as he has instinctly obeyed the courser ones, so he is instinctly obeying these. Blind Tom is higher in spiritual unfoldment but Blind Boone is more intellectual. But all are acting as aspen leaves act in the wind under the finer vibrations of God, the ALL SPIRIT. RAWLINS NOTES. Mr. A. C. Ford has purchased the Thayer Cafe, on Front street. Mr. Matthew Bates has arrived and has accepted a position as chef in the Ford Cafe. Messrs. A. Still, W. A. Rainey, S. Cruz, E. Dierson and Moore were Rawlins visitors this week. Denver, Colo., Dec. 2, 1907. To Whom It May Concern: The Commonwealth Life has just paid me my benefit in full. I feel very well pleased indeed at their treatment, and lack of red tape in receiving my benefits. Mrs. Earnest and daughter, Miss Edith, spent Thanksgiving in Hanna with relatives and also attended the mask ball. Mrs. Mary Ford has been dangerously ill, but is greatly improved now.

Singing by one of Denver's Leading Quartets SILVERTON, COLO., NOTES. Silverton is one of the best mining camps in the state. The new court house is second to none in Colorado. The foundation for a new city hall has been laid and the real work will begin next spring. The town is so situated between the mountains until one can not tell anything about it until they are in the city. The colored population here is small but very industrious. There is not one idle; father and everybody works and if he does not work he is put out into the snow. One A. J. Bryant is about the busiest man in town. He manages a cleaning and pressing business along with his janitor work, so there is no idle moments with him. Rev. B. F. McIntyre, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is also a hustler. He has succeeded in bringing light out of chaos and darkness. The people are more together than ever before. In his Thanksgiving effort, all worked like busy bees to make it the greatest success of any in the town. Those whom deserve special mention are Mesdames Lockett, Bryant, Hall, Brokn, Buchanan, Edwards and the Misses Edna Hall and Buchanan. Gentlemen were: Mr. W. H. Hall Cheff, A. J. Bryant, champion ticket seller, with S. Bryant, Ed Davis, Ed Washington, assistants. Mrs. A. J. Bryant, with the pastor, solicited in cash $47, so Mrs. Bryant takes the blue ribbon. Miss Edna Hall came next. When the noise of battle had ceased we found money of all descriptions and checks, lying upon the table to the amount of $75.85 clear, with no one hurt, but a good will to all. $50 was voted to the pastor on salary. The pastor left next day for Durango to see what his forces had done there during the seige. E. LAS VEGAS, NEW MEXICO. The A. M.

The L. W. Social club will meet at the president's residence, Mrs. Carrolls, this week and at Miss Butler's next week. There is so much talent in our city among the young people we don't see why they don't organize a literary to show the public what they have been educated for. We have nothing to encourage our young folks along to help to help uplift them. BOISE, IDAHO. The Thanksgiving dinner given by the ladies of the A. M. E. church, was a splendid success. Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Samuels left for Nampa to spend Sunday. Mr. W. Bert Luruer has accepted the position as second waiter at the Idanha grill. The vacancy left by Mr. Dowan Bell. The Thanksgiving dance, given by the young men, was well attended. Mr. John Page, one of Boise's most respected colored men, died last Thursdayat his residence, of neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Page was Boise's foremost colored business man, having lived here for the past eighteen years. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow and brother. Those on the sick list this week are Mrs. Thos. Brown and Mr. Baker. We are glad to announce that Mrs. W. Bert Turner, who has been on the sick list for the past three weeks, is able to be about. Boise's A. M. E. church organized a Sunday school last week, as Mr. W. H. Courtnay, superintendent. Mr. Ben D. Lewis leaves in about ten days for his old home in Little Rock, Ark.

To all my friends who need the best sick, accident and death insurance, I recommend the Commonwealth as we know how old and reliable they are. All my friends shall hear of your reliability.
