State History and Natural History Society FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN HIS TRIP THROUGH STATE ONE CONTINUOUS OVATION NINETEENTH YEAR HIS TRIP T Hon. W. T. Vernon has come to Colorado and gone. From the time that he was met at Pueblo by the local committee and J. W. Jackson of this city, to his departure from our Union depot, his trip was one march of triumph. At Pueblo, Colorado Springs and here, the audience rooms are crowded to standing room and the private and public entertainments were limited only by his time and endurance. Everyone tried to do his utmost and it is putting it mildly to say that no visitor to our state ever had such royal welcome. Being the foremost negro in point of official position, he merited much at our hands, but his personality won over the people en masse. Many at the lecture Monday night afterwards said that they came to be entertained but never dreamed of the charm of the orator, the magnetism of the leader and the power of the statesman. The daily press of the three cities have given extended extracts from his address, but no one but those who heard him knows the thrill and persuasiveness and the full scope of his scholarship. History gave up her choicest treasures to delight and instruct. Poetry was rivaled in the mellifluous rythm of his diction, gesture and voice united to drive home pregnant ideas. Others may come who will win the plaudits of Colorado, but Vernon is an accomplished fact. Endowed with the qualities that make men great, though yet in his thirties, he is the man of the hour whom the West, from which he springs, delights to claim her own. Especially sententious were his closing remarks when he said: In spite of the remarkable achievements of the race, disfranchisement is now being practiced in certain sections of our country. Deprived of the right to vote, which means the right of protection and representation in a government which he is taxed to support, the attendant evils of proscrip- --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY JANUARY 31, 1908 tion, "Jim Crow" cars, punishment without trial by jury are making well nigh intolerable conditions for a race of people whose bravery in war, whose loyalty through all the stress and onward march of America cannot be controverted. As a result of these injustices, labor, the source of wealth in any community is becoming restless and is migrating to more inviting fields. The South today is struggling industrially with the rest of the world. The building up of this section can not be accomplished without the labor of the negro. These people, discriminated against, with their schools diminishing, are not given an opportunity to do the best within them, and thus give to their country the splendid efforts which they could otherwise give. Blind, indeed, to right and justice, blind to the best interests of our country, is he who denied to any class of our citizens that which he asks for himself. As a race we must remember that education, sobriety, thrift and energy are the qualities which will give to us success, permanent and lasting. While seeking industrial opportunity and progress in the business world, the spiritual side, which has to do with literature, art, science, culture and soul growth should not be neglected. The thousands of negroes in the professions throughout the country are a benediction to the race, and should be appreciated and supported. Having seen the possibilities of the race in the various sections of this country, I am convinced that the negro of the Middle West and West, has opportunities equal to the best. Here in the midst of a growing developing population, with less racial antagonisms and discriminations than are found elsewhere, I believe the race can rise to its highest possibilities. I would advise that we remain here and work out our destiny. We shall thus be a source of inspiration to the race everywhere, and can firmly rivet to us the fair minded friends of the opposite race who will help us to stand for the fullest freedom for our people throughout America. At the close of the lecture, 150 banqueters, at the invitation of the Lincoln Republican Club, assembled in the lecture room of Shorter church, where, after a spread, they were regaled with toasts and music. The banquet was the finest in the history of Denver. The service, which was under charge of Owen Caswell and his most expert assistants, had beautiful surroundings, both in tableware and the decorations of the room. The toastmaster, Capt. Thomas Campbell, the president of the club, Dr. Sprattlin, Prof. Vernon, and the speakers, were at the head table with three others stretching away from it at which were seated the youth, the beauty, the wit and wisdom, the wealth and honor of our city. The opening address of Dr. Sprattlin, showing the fruitful soil of the West, and especially of Denver, as productive for greatness, the apt sallies of wit of the toastmaster in introducing the speakers, as well as the toasts themselves were peerless. Mrs. Ida DePriest responded to "Woman Suffrage In Colorado." Geo. V. Gross, the melon raiser, and the only elective negro official in Colorado, filled in the vacancy made by the unavoidable absence of J. R. Jackson, and predicted things of "The West" and told truths of "The West' that made glad the hearts of all. Mrs. Minerva Matlock-Jackson of Boulder, a former teacher of the Register at Lincoln Institute, handled "Lincoln Institute and Western University' with charming ease. Lawyer Stuart, on behalf of the Kansas Club, chose "Unity" for his theme. Roy Hundy, for the Shy Spy Club, painted a word picture of the triumphant rise of our race, already symbolized by the success of such men as the guest of honor. C. A. FIVE CENTS A COPY S OVATION Franklin wished for "The Press" a future of achievement and not merely of complaint and criticism. Wayman Ward, a son of Rev. Ward, assumed his father's toast, welcoming "Our Guest" to Denver. Then in a neat speech, full of the sincerity that characterizes the man, Prof. Vernon thanked the citizens of Colorado individually and collectively for his reception. He hoped that this section, of which he was a part, might become powerful by taking advantage of its opportunity, that its bright skies and wonderful promise might not be neglected by the race. He praised the banquet and lecture audience without stint and wished to be quoted as saying that the former was the finest that had ever been tendered him anywhere. Mrs. A. Froman and N. G. Walker also spoke. SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE. While here Prof. Vernon was the guest of Rev. A. M. Ward, an old friend in Kansas. On the occasion of his departure Rev. Ward entertained at breakfast in his honor, inviting the committee of Coloradoans who had been in charge of the arrangements. Mrs. Ward is a charming hostess and the conclusion of the register's stay was a fitting climax. On his arrival, he was the guest of honor at a dinner tendered him at The Rhine Cafe by C. A. Franklin. The other guests were J. W. Jackson, Dr. Spratlin, Rev. Ward, G. A. McCullough, Thos. Campbell and Geo. W. Gross of Rocky Ford. For this purpose the private dining room was gorgeous in national colors and flowers. The table was elaborately festooned with ribbons radiating from the center as if to typify "all for one and one for all." All the skill of the proprietor had been lavished upon the preparations and when the turkey, steaming and garnished, was ushered in, with the good things of earth flank- Continued on page 8 THE STATESMAN.

"That is correct," replied the doorkeeper, "but I have a sick mother, your excellency. I wished to visit her." "Quite proper," returned Spuller, "and I hope your mother will soon recover. But I would like to ask you one favor. If you go to visit your mother once more, please have the kindness not to lock me in my office.

The Beaufort dyke off the coast of the Mull of Galloway is a deep trough in the bed of the Irish sea. It is cut sharply out of a comparatively level sea bottom, with an average depth of seventy to eighty fathoms and extends down to from 100 to 148 fathoms. Attention has just now been directed to it by the proposition to construct a submarine tunnel from Scotland to Ireland. In connection with the surveys that have been made of the channel bottom it has been found that there are currents of considerable force at work in the bottom of this trough. At one point the bottom was worn away at the rate of sixty feet a year while in another place it was being built up almost as rapidly. HOUSEHOLD COMMANDMENTS 1.

Sea snakes are very plentiful in the south Pacific. They are widely distributed, stray individuals having been secured on the coast of New Zealand. When swimming close to the surface they exactly resemble an ordinary snake, except that the head is always below water. At night they come ashore and lie among the rocks. They feed on fish and although their small double fangs appear harmless they are reported to be very venomous. Origin of Oxygen. Lord Kelvin once showed that all the oxygen in the atmosphere probably came from the action of sunlight on plants. When the earth was a globe of hot liquid it contained no vegetable fuel, and probably no free oxygen. But as it cooled off plants appeared on its surface and these began to evolve oxygen through the medium of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus derived we depend for the maintenance of life by breathing.

Confession—Consolation. Let a friendly heart divine our sorrows and force us to confess them, and we find in this confession a consolation a thousand times sweeter than the absolute silence which flattered our pride.—Viscountess De Lar "Jim" Macomber Had Dry Feet Old "Jim" Macomber lives alone on a small island in Lake Boone, but he by no means shuns society, especially the convivial, says a writer in the Boston Herald. At a farewell celebration given at the close of the past season by one of the summer cottagers "Jim" was an invited guest, and when the party broke up, after midnight, and he set out for his island, he was so completely bewildered that he spent the night groping about in the thick bushes behind the barn, searching for his boat. Meantime, one of the visiting cotagers, who was almost as befuddled as "Jim" was, waded out into the water and climbed into his boat from the further end, and then drifted about on the lake for the rest of the night, and until daylight brought something of soberness. When the company assembled in the morning there was much joking at the expense of the pair. The discomfited cottager, in desperation, tried to turn attention from himself to "Jim" by remarking: "Jim, I hear that you were looking for your boat out in the bushes last night, a half-mile from shore." Immediately came the retort from "Jim": "Wal, af I was, I didn't get my feet wet, by gosh." How natural to fancy pleasure in the veined marble and the many-colored mosaic—bohemianism's lower tone.

A little girl who with her mother was witnessing a performance of "The Lion and the Mouse" at the Lyceum theater, New York, recently, and who had doubtless read Aesop's fable of that name, sat through almost the entire performance in a rapt interest and then, just before the fall of the curtain, she asked: "Mamma, when does the lion come out?" 1 Denver Colorado THE HOTEL MRS.

Buy and Sell Good Clothing. Full Dress Suits for Rent SIMIAN LOVE AND REVENGE. Peculiar Conduct of a Monkey Causes Sailors Much trouble. A curious story of love and revenge comes to us from the far east and the fact that it is the love and revenge of a Javanese monkey doesn't abate the human interest in the narrative. Nor should the further fact that the tale comes to us via the crew of a tramp steamer abate all confidence in its truth. It appears that the sailors who manned this steamer had collected in Java a number of monkeys for speculative purposes and these were confined in the hold. Among them were two unusually intelligent simians who were released during the voyage and permitted the freedom of the ship. Unhappily a sudden storm came up and one of the playful creatures was washed overboard. The remaining one, who after his comrade's sudden taking off, searched the ship for hours and finally betook himself to the rigging, where he remained three days, refusing food and avoiding all efforts to capture him. No doubt he held the sailors responsible for the death of his partner and it would appear that he was formulating a scheme for revenge. Anyway, the third night he released all the monkeys in the hold and for two days the simians made life miserable for the sailors. They bit and scratched and fought and it was only after a number of them had been flung overboard that the balance could be captured and secured. And in all the forays and fierce charges the revengeful monkey was in the van. Whatever may be contended concerning the reasoning powers of the brute creation, there has been many instances recorded of their remembrance of past injuries. And this fact would seem to give the story of monkey vengeance some semblance of truth. Billard Tables Are Barred. There are still heads of old and wealthy Scottish families who would not on any account allow a billiard table to be placed in their houses. Among these may be mentioned Lord Mansfield. Though a good sportsman and devoted to country pursuits, especially curling, he will not have a billiard room fitted up in his magnificent old mansion. Scene Palace, Perthshire. Boy Defines Plow. The head master of a school in Ancoats, the slum quarter of Manchester, England, told an audience that the Ancoats lad was essentially a stay-at-home and his knowledge of the country was nebulous. A plow, according to one boy, was "a thing for flattening the ground, it cut the grass short, and was like a knife o. cart wheels." Hope is the only illusion we never quite lose. It is always fatal to try to reconstruct the past. Worrying never did any one any good whatsoever. No cat likes affection when affection rubs its fur off. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Cattle Ticks. A report issued from the department of agriculture states that the annual loss occasioned through the cattle ticks is in the neighborhood of $100,000,000, which is equal to about ten per cent of the value of the cattle. The quality of the animals is the lowest and the loss is greatest in the regions where the natural conditions without the tick should produce the finest cattle with the least loss.

Mrs. James Stuart was suddenly aroused from lands of dreams the other night about 2 o'clock in the morning. Her husband being out on his regular run she demanded who was knocking at her door. Not receiving an answer she jumped from her bed and grabbed a poker to defend herself and when the door was broke open and there stood a great big burly brute white man from Mississippi. She knew at once that she could not defend herself from such a brutish-looking devil as that, so called for a night policeman. Mr. Ward was soon on hand and placed a six-shooter at the man's head and marched him up to a cool place until he was called on to say good morning to the judge. He soon found out that he wasn't in Mississippi when the judge fined him $25 and $30 costs and all repairs to the house. The judge informed him very nicely that he was not in Mississippi but in New Mexico, where colored people are respectable people and citizens and not subject to the brutish ways of the South. The Progressive Literary Society is rapidly improving. Quite a nice crowd turned out Thursday evening and a splendid program rendered, then refreshments were served.

WHEN YOU GO TO LEADVILLE You can get first-class rooms with Mrs. S. J. Motley at 206 West Sixth street. First-class table board also. Write or call. 10-26 During the early years of his ministry at Calais, Me., the late Rev. Geo. W. Durell was one day called upon to perform the marriage service for a couple who came into town from some out-lying section, and after the ceremony the woman said: "Say, parson, Jim ain't got no money, but I will be around to-morrow to pay for this job." Some two weeks afterward she met Mr. Durell on the street, and recalled herself to his memory, saying: "You know, parson, I was goin' to pay for that job you done for Jim and me, but I didn't, for Jim run away the next day, and I didn't think it was worth while." Furniture Used by Napoleon. When he returned to Washington recently Ambassador Von Sternberg brought a complete suite of drawing-room furniture that had adorned the rooms occupied by Napoleon in Leipsic. These treasures were bequeathed to the ambassador by a relative whose grandfather had owned the place where the Corsican elected to abide. The furniture is ancient Flemish and in the tapestry are woven mythological designs. The frames bear a gold design. A desk at which Napoleon wrote vigorous messages is part of the legacy. Feed Babes to Snakes. The United States grand jury at Albuquerque, N. M., is investigating reports that the Indians of the Pueblo of Zae, the most isolated of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, feed a certain number of new born babies each year to a mammoth snake which is worshiped by the tribe. The Interior Department will probably be asked to interfere. No "Arctic Moon." The arctic moon is just the same as the moon everywhere. The cause of the prolonged polar days and nights does not affect the moon in the slightest degree. Look for Action from Senator. According to general belief Mr. Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean to be a silent member of the United States senate at the coming session. As a rule newcomers are rather expected to keep in the background for a time, but Senator Knox is tacitly booked to take a leading part in discussion of the railroad rate measure. For many years Pennsylvania senators have almost confined themselves to committee activity. The Camerons, father and son, were silent men, and so to a great extent was Mr. Quay. Mr. Penrose, too, rarely opens his lips, so the spectacle of a Pennsylvania senator active in debate will be somewhat of a novelty. More Than Princely Pr This story of Prince Lo Battenberg is going the rounds: right woman who met him at a garden party in the course of his Canadian visit was commenting on the change in the weather which had that morning seemed dull and threatening. "Yes, it has brightened up," said the prince in his genial way. "You see, when I came to town to-day I brought good weather with me." "Well," said the woman, with a naughty twinkle in her eye. "I have heard of a Hohenzollern speaking of 'I and God,' but it remains for a Battenberg to leave out God!" LOGAN, Manager S $100.00 AND UPWARD a Piano delivered at their home (0) per week payments.

A part of this amount is to go for the purpose of purchasing a lot on which to erect a house of worship and parsonage. GREAT FALLS, MONT., NEWS. Quarterly meeting will be at Union Bethel A. M.

A Secret Worth Le "You poor man," said M Henpeck, who was for the first time seeing the inside of a lunatic asylum, "how long have you been here? Can you remember?" "Oh, yes; very well," replied the patient; "seven years. You see, they let me do pretty near as I please because I'm harmless." "Are you married?" "Sure. I have a wife who used to throw things at me every time I came in the house." "How sad! Do you know how she manages to live?" "She's getting along all right. Her brother, who is a rich bachelor, is takin' care of her. He never would give up a tent, though, as long as I was able to work, confound him." "And what do you do here?" "Sit around mostly, smokin' and waitin' for the next meal time." "Say," said the visitor, speaking softly, and drawing a little nearer to the patient, "just between ourselves, how did you get them to send you here?"—Chicago Record-Herald. A Disguised Hint. The crowd surrounding the balky animal opens somewhat when the man who looks as though he knew horse-flesh asks what is the matter. "This mare of mine has balked," explains the owner of the rig. "I can't get her to go in any direction." "Have you tried to back her?" asks the stranger. "Why, I never thought of that," answers the driver, getting down and taking a plug of tobacco from his pocket. He holds it to the animal's nose and at once it starts down the road. With the self-possession which marks the man of perfect poise, the horsey man turns and goes away smiling as though in pity of the ignorance of the others. Moments That Tell.

Evils Arising From Deafness An ear specialist insists that deaf Bess affects all the senses. He says the reason for this is that the ear is only one servant of the sensory ser- vice of the human system. Loss of hearing is really a partial paralysis of the brain, but owing to the symp thetic connection of the various sev sory nerve centers of the brain the others indirectly concerned have to eombat for their very life the demor- atiting influence of the affectad cep ter, Judiclous Spen ‘ng. it is argued by some t, for the Common weal, the universu spending ef money should be encouraged.

The boatswain of the “Caspian,” an English schooner, brought with him from India a strange animal-binl. which he always referred to as his “Tabby.” It certainly looked more Nike a cat than anything else; but tt Was probably some freak of the ant- mal world. It had two pairs of wings, but could fly only with difficulty, like «tame duck. Spider's Wonderful Strength.

CAVALRY HORSES IN STAMPEDE Mounts of English Soldiers Run Miles In Wild Disorder. During recent army maneuvers in England a stampede of cavalry horses occurred which is believed to have been without precedent in times of peace. In the camp near Southamp- ton a horse broke a leg during the night and a veterinary surgeon shot ‘the animal as if stood In the horse ‘Mines. The flash and report so terri- fled the remainder of the animals that they dashed through the camp, trampling upon tents filled with ‘sleeping men and scattered over the whole country. Some made thetr way ‘through another camp, communicating panic to the horses there, and they Joined in the stampede, over 1,000 an- fmals breaking away. Most disastrous was the result to ‘the animals. Many fell, breaking ‘Aeeir legs and necks, while scores Were injured by barbed wire fences and fron-bed picket pegs which they carried off with them. One drove of aBout 200 dashed toward the sea and plunged {nto the water of the harbor. Men in boats put out and turned back aa many as possible. Landing stages had to be broken down to get the horses ashore. Several animals were drowned. _ Another drove of seventy horses ‘passed through Winchester, apparent- ly making for Aldershot. Several Men were {njured by the animals @ashing through the camp. Fifty horses were killed, while a trainload of wounded animals was sent back to -Abershot for treatment Chinese Faith in Ginseng. Many of the Chinese believe that when all other remedies fail and death is at hand ginseng bas the power to bring back health and longevity; hence, when they feel the need of it they will pay fabulous prices for cer- tain kinds of roots.

Commissioner Woodbury of the de partment of street cleaning tells this anecdote of a frien“ of his who was walking through Central park the oth- er day. Being in somewhst of a hur ry, he started to cut across the grass at one place, but was stopped by a park policeman, who remonstrated with him. What difference does it make?” asked the New Yorker. “The grass is half dead, anyway.” “Sure, an’ what if it is?” respona- ed the indignant guardian of the peace. ‘Sure an’ if yez had a sick friend would yez be takin’ a walk on bis stomach?”—New York Times. ——--_—___—__..

OBITUARY A full congregation assembled at Shorter church Sunday afternoon to pay their last respects to Mrs. Annie Clark, wife of J. F. Clark. The fu neral services, which were in charge of Q. J. Gilmore, were presided over by Rev. Ward. He spoke touchingly of the life of the deceased. ‘The close of her beautiful life even in sickness was bright with the everlasting prom: ise. The interment was at Riverside The funeral of Mrs. Wiley was held from Central Baptist church last Sun- day afternoon. She was an old mem ber of the church and one much be loved. All that loving friends could do in the last hour was lavished to make softer the parting. Her inter ment was at Riverside. Only one of her sons was present at the funeral Lawhorn & Co, were the undertakers ‘in charge. Rey. Beckham was the of- ficiating minister. Joseph Westbrook, who has been ill at the County hospital for some time, died Wednesday and his remains are in charge of the Lawhorn Co. The funeral is not yet arranged, but will probably be directed by the hod car- riers. The remains were shipped yes- terday to Ft. Scott, Kans., by Under- taker Gilmore. The funeral of George Lloyd was held Tuesday from the funeral parlor of Q. J. Gilmore, with Rev. Payne Officiating. The interment, which was at Riverside, was followed by many | friends of his other days. Captain A. A. Hudson, who was one of the well-known figures of this city, fell dead last Sunday at Watkins, Colo., where he had gone on business. His remains were brought to the city by Undertaker Gilmore. He is a mem- ber of the Elks and will be buried by them from Zion church Sunday. He leaves a-wife. He is also a member of the Masons and Pythians in Texas. Mrs. William Knight and her infant child were swept from life into the mysteries of death early Monday morning. Without warning and ap. parently without cause, she passed away, in the blossoming out of her life. A greater shock could not have come to the younk folk of the city, for her marriage is still clear in mem.- ory less than two years ago, also the knowledge how she and her husband were home-building on South Penn sylvania avenue, The funeral serv ices were held Thursday «afternoon THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institu- tion that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUS- AND DOLLARS as a guarantee that ‘the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many com- panies soliciting business whose re- sources 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. from Zion church, Rey.

E. church comfortably crowed, Rev. Warner preached a very soul-stirring and soul-filled sermon to an appreciative audience. His subject, "Struggle," was taken from the verses 8 and 9 in Cor., chapter 4. "We are troubled on every side yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not despaired; persecuted but not forsaken, and cast down but not destroyed." He drew a strong picture of how man has struggled through evolution, in firearms, society, finance, agriculture, education and religion. How all life was a struggle, as was shown in stones, wild beasts and plant life. Speaking of the higher forms of life, the more complex and bloodthirsty it became, and illustrating in commercial and industrial competition where labor and capital were striving, and what bitter and relentless carnage followed the war of the crusades and all religious wars, he showed only to be spiritual struggling to arrive in the realm of perfect peace. In the development, or struggle, from the physical to the material, through the moral to the intellectual, with muscle against muscle, nerve against nerve and finally to the spiritual, the power of the individual to overcome was vividly shown and impressed to be the key to victory. God comes with His reserve to help and rescue the Christian in the struggle which to him only means strength and growth within and without, leading to a glorious reward. His conclusion appealed to the Christian, sinner and backslider alike, even though surrounded on all sides to take Christ with them. EXPRESS THANKS. To the Editor of The Statesman: I desire to express, through the columns of your paper, my sincere thanks to all those who served on the committees pertaining to the lecture of Hon. W. T. Vernon, and also the banquet. The haste made necessary by the departure from the regular program of the evening at the request of the various clubs has prevented me from thanking the committeemen sooner. In the matter of the decoration of the banquet hall, under the direct supervision of Mrs. Travick, the chairman of the committee, so ably assisted by Mr. E. T. Fountain and others, I am deeply grateful. Mrs. Travick THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO displayed rare skill in the arrangement of the decorations. And furthermore, I was exceedingly fortunate in having at my side three of Denver's most worthy, strenuous and zealous young men, Messrs. A. S. Newsome, Henry Hinkle and Spencer Smithea. To their hustling ability and faithful service is due, in a large measure, the success of the evening. As to the menu and excellent service had, we must all take off our hats to Mr. Owen Caswell, the peerless caterer of the West. And to the Ushers' Club of Shorter A. M.

Allen, who at one time estimated his real estate in Vermont to be "worth on a proper appraisal from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000," later lost his property and died in great poverty in Philadelphia in 1814, according to the "governor and council of Vermont." He was buried in a stranger's grave with no headstone to mark the spot. A few years ago as a result of a search instituted by John H. Converse of Philadelphia, a former Burlingtonian and alumnus of the University of Vermont, it was determined that he was buried in the Quaker city in January, 1814. This burying ground is a long-disused and wholly neglected spot which has within a few weeks been sold by the few remaining members of the society of Free Quakers, who propose to remove the stones and any remains discovered beneath the surface to a rural cemetery. Accordingly Gov. Bell of Vermont has appointed a committee of wellknown sons of Vermont in Philadelphia to witness the removal of headstones, etc., to find if possible some evidence of Allen's last resting place. This committee consists of Francis Olcott Allen, Col. Charles A. Converse, Joseph D. Allen, John H. Converse and Ralph L. Hayes. The committee will make a diligent search for a possible headstone, coffin plate or mark of identification of any sort. Gov. Bell has also appointed the following committee to be able to act with the above committee in taking proper steps on the part of the state in the event that anything definite is discovered of the remains of Gen. Allen: Col. G. G. Benedict of Burlington, president of the Vermont Historical society, and secretary of the University of Vermont; Walter H. Crockett of St. Albans and Frank E. Alfred of Newport. Ira Allen was born in Cornwall, Conn., May 1, 1751, being the youngest of six brothers, of whom Gen. Ethan Allen was the eldest. Ethan Allen's deeds are commemorated by at least three statues, one in the porch of the state capitol at Montpelier, one in the hall of fame in Washington and one surmounting the tall granite shaft above his grave in Green Mount cemetery in Burlington, besides the rugged memorial tower dedicated last summer with imposing ceremonies on his old farm near Burlington. Several members of the Allen family are buried in the lot where the hero of Ticonderoga lies, among them being Mrs. Jerusha Allen, the widow of Ira Allen. A modest stone marks her grave and records the death of her husband. Ira Allen was distinguished as the first man to make a survey of Bur- THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

She brought her flour and was shown how to make the sponge. This she took home and the next morning the writer went to her house, showed her how to knead the bread, how to make it into loaves and how to bake it, but after some time the woman brought the dough to the teacher's home, requesting her to bake it for her. After all was finished she said: "Well, this is all a great deal of trouble and it takes altogether too long. When we want bread we want it right away." Another neighbor remarked: "The light bread is like a sponge, nothing to it." CHANCE FOR TIGER HUNTER So Many Man Eaters in South China That Natives Want Them Killed. Never have there been more deaths caused by tigers than during the last six months. In one village alone in Holpu region not far from No Ma, which can be reached by the steamship Nanking every two or three days from Macao, there is a small village which has lost ten persons on account of tigers, while in the same region some twenty more persons have paid the penalty of their lives on account of these ferocious animals. Why cannot some of the Nimrods of Hongkong inaugurate a great hunt and thus clear out these monsters which have become a menace to the Chinese? Innocent women and laughing children would be forever thankful to any one who would deliver them from this curse, which they dread so much. The Chinese seem to have no skill in exterminating or catching these wily beasts, or perhaps they fear to molest them, lest the tiger spirits may injure their persons in the future. Be that as it may, it is a great shame that not more than one hundred to one hundred and twenty miles from Hongkong, within easy reach, these wild beasts are permitted to carry on their depredations. Let those who delight to shoot the innocent and harmless birds once try a good sized tiger for a target and the Chinese will rise up and call them blessed and immortalize their name and deed in verse.—Hongkong Telegraph.

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."

CONTINUOUS OVATION Continued from Page One ing it, all paid tribute to the chef's skill. After the dinner service, which was faultless in the hands of Miss Audrey Brown, cigars and conversation drew the hour out till midnight before the party broke up. The Register went over many things vital to the negro race as a whole and the Western negro especially and the guests were filled with the possibilities we have. The patriotic setting became instinct with life and theravelings of good purpose were gathered up and woven into a common web. The host and Mr. Herron of The Rhine were given many congratulations upon the spread and the guest of honor was fittingly ushered in upon his three days' triumph. Sunday morning Shorter church was packed to the doors with persons eager to hear the man of God speak His word. Dr. Vernon was at his best and spoke on "The Two-Talent Man." He outlined what the man of small or average attainments could do in life and the extra burden that lay upon him to apply effort and brains that he might safely pass the crux of his existence and line up with the workers for social and moral uplift. Mrs. Ida DePriest entertained in his honor Sunday afternoon at dinner. Her guests were J. W. Jackson, J. R. Jackson, Thos. Campbell, Geo. W. Gross, C. A. Franklin, Rev. Ward, Dr. Vernon and Mr. DePriest. The feast was too good for the time was short before the visitor must appear at the Alliance. Having been his host at his coming four years ago before such signal honor came to him, Dr. Vernon was the more grateful for this evidence of the continuation of her esteem. At the Alliance the acting president, J. M. Mason, called upon Lawyer Start to introduce the visitor, after which he responded with words of wisdom and advice upon our relations as a race, one to another. Frequent applaus interrupted his speech and he was voted an honorary member of the Alliance. J. W. Jackson and J. D. Rivers entertained him at their respective home in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Muse entertained at an exceptionally well appointed dinner Monday afternoon, having as her guests Rev. Ward, J. W. Jackson, C. A. Franklin, Dr. Faulkner, Geo. W. Gross, Mrs. Lillie Moore and the guest of honor. She was assisted in serving by Misses Thirkles PAGE & THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. and Willis. Monday he was shown over the city by the reception committee, calling upon the governor and other state officials, the mayor, the U. S. Mint and several prominent citizens and banking institutions that expressed the desire of having the honor of a visit from him. He left Tuesday noon, a tired but deeply grateful man, with the best wishes of a multitude that had listened to him, and their gratitude for an instructive visit. Three thousand persons is a small estimate of those who heard him in this city alone, and they one and all will look forward to the future, hoping that he may come again. The young people, especially the alumni of Lincoln Institute, the Kansas Club, the None Such Club, the Shy Spy, all of whom paid him special honor at the banquet, have been inspired by his example of the light load that color is when real merit essays to rise. Vale! Vernon! (By Mrs. Lillie L. H. Smith, Dedicated to the Hon. W. T. Vernon.) Welcome, thou illustrious one To our city, homes and hearts, Upon whose noble, manly brow Fame's golden beams athwart, Plowman in fields of intellect, Whose worthy work will stand A monument unto thy name, And thy prolific hand. There burns not in a negro's breast More love for his struggling race Than revealed in thy gifted eloquence Or portrayed in thy works and ways. Thou hast shown in thy career With a determined mind The humblest who perseveres, Success will surely find. Again thou'st proven that ebon hue Nor texture of the hair Cannot a lofty soul subdue If virtue dwelleth there. Lo! from an humble cabin home To a teacher, preacher, scholar, And now we find thy signature Stamped on the mighty dollar. The path has not all roses been, Some hidden thorns have hedged the way, But Him, whose love thou dost pro- claim, Hss guided thee lest thou should stray. Go on thou modern Hercules. TERMS. A POEM. Strong in thy pure and lofty aim, Among the great men of our race Shall stand thine honored name.

May He who guides the nation's course In spite of ethnic snarl, Keep thee a leader of the host Whatever may befall, And grant thee years of usefulness In overthrowing baneful vice, Till the younger generations Catch the zeal of thy noble life.
