THE MINSTRELS MAKE BIG HIT TWENTIETH YEAR THE MINST MAK Good Crowd—Lots of Fun—Pryor, Harris, McDaniels Bros., Stone and Downing Good Comedians Manager Burns tickled at Success. Denver is fast becoming the "Queen City of the West." People are flocking in, being equipped with all kinds of accomplishments and arts. And as our efforts become greater and various we are all striving for a greater, bigger and better Denver. A real live minstrel with the clarinet, cello, cornet, flute, drums, etc., seated high above the performers, yet far enough in the rear assuredly gave that well known minstrel appearance and effect to the performance of several of our young men at East Turner hall Tuesday night before 300 people to show what they could do. All the men except the comedians were in full dress with a beautiful carnation pink pinned to their coat save the interlocutor, who carried violets. The stage settings were very impressive, being appropriately and strikingly arranged. As the curtain arose the voices of the chorus could be heard singing "Yankee Doodle," led by Harry Gilmore, whose singing elicited much applause. Then came a silent hush and a burst of applause when the audience gazed upon the interlocutor and comedians. The "Old Cherry Orchard" by Chas. Wilson was very well rendered; "Love Me and the World is Mine," by James Brown, was so appealingly sung and so well acted that an encore was the consequence; "Last Rose of Summer," by Harry Gilmore, was very pleasingly received; "The Foam of the Sea is Home, --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY MARCH 13; 1908 Sweet Home," by Tom Berry, late of the Western Jubilee Co., was rendered with an admirable effect, as Mr. Berry showed his wonderful range as basso profundo, and "Violets," by Willie Burns, who is always at home on the stage, acquitted himself with his usual graceful and charming manner. The company did fine chorus work, which is only an evidence of their tutoring. The hits made by their songs were: "It's Sho' One Fast, Fast World," "Help Yo' Self," and "Somebody Lied," Williams and Walker's latest as sung by Harris and Pryor. Speaking of Denver's thrift and business life, Lem Pryor showed in a joke that only two of our business houses had died and remain dead, and they were A. J. Gilmore's and A. M. Lawhorn. To merely mention the potato joke in connection with Mr. Elmore would so seriously jar it as would wake it up and by only speaking of the joke on Policeman Baker causes us even now to silently smile. Mr. Harris had five children in his family and had his family increased to ten in thirty minutes because the children had eaten green apples and doubled up on him. The boys laughed, the girls giggled and the older men and women fairly rocked with laughter at the jokes. The interlude between Acts I and II made Brown and McDaniels, as electric dancing lights burn and show their illustrious colors and impressed the audience that they had a few equals and no superiors. Joe Williams, the trick bicycle rider, who did some very difficult and clever stunts as he closed the interlude.

The creation of the tribal epic was to some extent regarded as a tribal work, like the building of the tribal temple. Believe, then, if you will, that the prologue of Job and the epilogue and the speech of Elihu are things inserted after the original work was composed. But do not suppose that such insertions have that obvious and spurious character which would belong to any insertions in a modern individualistic book. Do not regard the insertions as you would regard a chapter in George Meredith which you afterwards found had not been written by George Meredith, or half a scene in Ibsen which you found had been cunningly sneaked in by Mr. William Archer. Remember that this old world, which made these old poems like the Iliad and Job, always kept the tradition of what it was making. A man could almost leave a poem to his son to be finished as he would have finished it, just as a man could leave a field to his son to be reaped as he would have reaped it. What is called Homeric unity may be a fact or not. The Iliad may have been written by one man. It may have been written by a hundred men. But let us remember that there was more unity in those times in a hundred men than there is unity now in one man. Then a city was like one man. Now one man is like a city in civil war.—G. K. Chesterton in Putnam's. DANGEROUS THINGS TO HAVE. Married Man Carried Too Much Circumstantial Evidence. It probably never enters the minds of most people how perfectly innocent a man may be and yet lay himself open to suspicion through no fault of his own. J. C. Linton, a Chicago guest at the St. Denis hotel, gives a good instance of this, says the New York Press. "If I happened to be found dead in my room just now," said he, "in one of my pockets would be discovered the photograph of a very pretty actress and in my valise a half dozen pairs of women's silk stockings, a woman's solid gold chain, wrist bag and a large pearl hatpin. All these things—I don't include the photograph—are for my wife, but she doesn't know it. Now, if I were to die here she would, womanlike, come to the conclusion, on finding these feminine things in my bag, that I the scoundrel, had played her false. The result would be she would simply waste the rest of her days in trying to unearth the supposed wife No. 2. Anyhow, I guess I'll tear the photograph up; it's a particularly dangerous thing for a married man to have in his possession." India's Wild Hill Tribes. The wild hill tribes in India, known as the Kolis, Kumbis, Dhangurs and Dhayars, are a people imbued with quaint Old World superstitions. They are haunted by the fear of the evil eye, especially for their children. Cunning and light of foot as satyrs, these children are ready to disappear with a sudden bound into the forest thickets. The Dhangurs have curious marriage customs. When they want to ascertain the favorable moment for the performance of the rites, the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. young couple are made to sit before the door of a hut, from which a cow and then its calf are driven forth. If the calf runs to its mother on the right of the seated pair the ceremony can begin. If, on the contrary, it passes them on the left, the proceedings must be suspended. A ring passed over the bride's finger, some grains of rice thrown over the young people, and they are married. These tribes have an incessant struggle against poverty and the elements. Burning the Candle. "So Parker shot himself, did he?" mused one of Marshal Field's wholesale salesmen. "Yes," answered the silk buyer, sadly. "What on earth did he do it for?" queried the salesman. "Oh, I don't know; he was hitting a pretty fast pace," answered the other. "Burning the candle at both ends, eh?" remarked the salesman. "Yes, I guess that's what you'd call it," admitted the buyer. For a few moments both men were silent, then the salesman looked up. "Funny, isn't it, that when a fellow burns his candle at both ends he never thinks of blowing out the candle; it's always his brains." Embarrassing. The little tots of the infant department in a Sunday school are working a new scheme to raise money for a new piano. They have learned nearly everyone's birthday, and collect a cent for each year they are old. One lady who was averse to telling her age even for a good cause gave one little girl a dollar, saying: "Keep it all." The little collector looked the giver over carefully and asked: "Are you really 100 years old?" Strategy. Katherine, aged five, was too noisy at the table. Her father reproved her, and said she was not to speak again at that meal unless she wanted something. Katharine became thoughtful, and a few moments later addressed her father: "Papa, you said I could ask for something if I wanted it?" "Yes, Katharine, what is it?" "I want to talk." His idea of it.

It was at a Symphony Orchestra con- cert conducted by Walter Damrosch The audience was anticipating an ex quisite rendition of choice selections from some famous composers, con: spicuous among whom was Richard Wagner, the opening number in this instance being one of his compos! tions. As was usual, the leading per formers of the orchestra, as they ap peared upon the platform, was met with enthusiastic applause, the climax being reached with the appearance of Mr. Damrosch himself. When the excitement had somewhat subsided and the concert was about to begin, a well-dressed woman, seated quite near the front, turned to the woman beside her, and said fn an audidle voice: “Pardon me, but would you kindly tell me which one is Wag ner?” Great Forest Reserves of Nevada.

Democracy Stoops To Conquer Democratic Campaign Lie Nailed An unequivocal denial is given to the much heralded resolutions alleged to have been passed by the bishops of the A. M. E., the C. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches at their council last month, in which they were represented as threatening the Republican party with the defection of the colored vote if Roosevelt or Taft was the nominee this year. The reputation of the bishops of these churches for common sense was a serious argument against the correctness of any report which implicated them in political manipulation. Whether they individually have interest in the machinery of government, it remained that their position would not permit any such outrageous pronunciation. Now comes the absolute denial that any action whatever was taken, any resolutions passed that bore upon politics or Roosevelt, or Taft, or the Brownsville matter. Nor does this come from outsiders, but from members of the council. The truth is that ministers of these three denominations met and passed such resolutions as were reported the day after the council adjourned, when many of the bishops were already speeding back home to look after their spiritual vineyards. Here is where the campaign manipulator got busy. By simply changing the report as it appeared in the daily press, substituting "bishops" for "ministers," the grip of the Republican party on the colored vote was threatened, and we were put under the ridiculous suspicion of being the tail trying to wag the dog. In singular contrast to the Ohio Republican platform is the Nebraska Democratic platform. The Republicans say: "In the nation we stand for those ideals of government which mean justice, equality and fair dealing among men. A brave and impartial enforcement of the law * * * the civil and political rights of the American Negro in every state, believing, as we do, that his marvelous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color are unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. "We favor the reduction of representation in congress and the electoral college in all states of this THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit." Not one word from Mr. Bryan, who is the author of the Nebraska panacea as to fairness to Negroes, either by enforcement of present laws or the enactment of new ones. W. H. Taft's state is typical of the Republican party in that it is a well wisher of the black man. After four years of war for us, and twenty years of guardianship, it seems to be the general opinion of Republican statesmen that the party should be given an opportunity to deal with some of the questions like trusts, that are affecting the whole country, white as well as black. Far-seeing Negroes have rejoiced at the change for we are not like the Indians in that we want paternal government. If our race is to rise up to twentieth century conditions, we must rule the wind and wave and not be carried helplessly along. We must swim! The Force bill and all it stood for could throw protection around us for the moment, but we ourselves must butwark with our brains and bodies our citizenship, or we fall short of what American citizenship demands. Democracy says not one word against us—in the North. In the South it still uses us as a short cut to victory. Even the attempt to alienate us from the Republican party, taking advantage of our indignation over Brownsville, is so shallow and the hypocrisy in it is so evident, that every Democratic member of the house of representatives sought to impose "Jim Crow" restrictions on the street cars of the national capitol, at the same time blackhirelin gs try to make us believe Democracy our friend. Already through the regular administration channels, the party is setting out to reinstate to former standing all of the soldiers who make oath that they were guiltless in the Brownsville disturbance. With this choice morsel gone from them, the kickers will be forced to display their hoofs and horns and confess their traitorous principles. The way lies upward as we have traveled for forty years, and not down to experimental legislation for whites and disfranchisement for blacks under Democratic misrule. ```markdown ``` C. H. HOLLY J.

When the subject, "Success," was announced a few Sundays ago, a few people thought that the treating of such a broad subject by Mr. C. S. Muse would be of any great consequence. But no sooner had he begun his thesis until their minds were changed. He first outlined the various definitions and impressions of success, then carefully laid his fundamental basis to his argument of success. While the paper touched various kinds of success, the main force was spent in showing that success was perfection that every perfect gift cometh from God; thence success was God; that as we were a part of God (His sons and daughters), we were successes when our minds or souls were His or influenced by His laws and principles, then our bodies a dneverything physical or material were successes because as a man thinketh in his heart (mind or soul) so he is; if his mind was Godly, his body was Godly, and when that condition obtained everything would be added unto him, because these accomplishments would inspire faith or self-reliance and each onward victory would help you to win some other until we would reach our destiny—to be like Him, our Father, who is perfection complete. Then faith would inspire our eternal hope to be a success. Rev. Lucas spoke very intelligently on success in health, happiness and in finance, as also did J. J. Manuel. Mr. Muse was warmly greeted for the intellectual treat and closed his paper with an appeal for us, never to become failures, because success depends upon the individual and not upon any luck, man or circumstance. This Sunday the Alliance will hear a paper on "Colonization," from Capt. Thomas Campbell, who promises a great treat. FORT COLLINS, COLO.

Man at the Helm Works with the Curtains Tightly Drawn. The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of all the machinery, is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of steel--for the hull may be 700 feet long and 60 feet high--offers a broad target for the wind and waves. The art of steering is to humor the ship to these forces and when she is deflected to bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially in bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shifting from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line. The most astonishing thing about the bridge is to find the wheelhouse with all its curtains tightly drawn, as often happens, and the man at the helm steering the boat without seeing ahead at all. At night or even by day, if the light of the binnacle is confusing, the wheelhouse is often completely shut in. The man at the wheel, it is explained, does not need to look ahead. The lookout high up in the "crow's nest" and the officer on watch on the bridge will keep him informed if any object is sighted. The duty of the man at the wheel is to keep the ship on her course. Throughout his watch of four hours he must keep his eyes on the compass and no where else.—St. Nicholas. PAGE 14 M. W. GRAND LODGE, A. F. & A.

Write or call. 10-26 It's about as useful to think you are a genius as to be one. A man's honor can be pawned, but it can never be redeemed. A woman worries over chapped knees as if everybody knew it. A woman wants you to give her her way so she can give the children theirs. The envy of those who lack a thing is a large part of its value to those who possess it. Bad business is welcome to a woman so she can blame it for her husband being cross. When a girl is interested in a man she is more afraid to let him know it than other people. A man gives his grandfather the blame for his fallings and himself the credit for his grandchildren's good looks. A hard thing is to be as sincere as you think you are or as insincere as other people think you are.—New York Press. BY THE GENTLE CYNIC. So long as a man isn't miserable he ought to be happy. The fellow who blows his own horn may come out at the little end of it. Sometimes fate makes a hero of a man, but he can't always hold the job. After all perhaps a rolling stone is more to be desired than a rolling gait. Many a fellow doesn't get married because the girl's father can't afford it. A man shouldn't get his back up just because he is told to hump himself. If by any chance a woman should ask you to guess her age, lie like a gentleman. Many a man complains that he is misunderstood when he is really unintelligible. Just because a man can't keep a straight face don't jump to the conclusion that he is crooked. Lots of women seem to exercise more judgment in choosing their friends than in choosing their husbands. BY THE WAY. Why is it that a train is always late when you are early? The man who is part of the show misses most of the fun. When you go out for something be sure and get the goods. There is nothing like a private grievance to stimulate a man to public action. Why is it that the person who is of no particular account always thinks he can write? Concert Brass Band and Orchestra Music for all Occasions Bic GEO. A.

They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resistant qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction.

John Williams, a farmer resident of this city, died last Monday in Winslow, Ariz. The deceased was a Mason, belonging to Eureka Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A. M., of this city. John McNeal, a consumptive, from Kansas City, died in this city Tuesday evening. The body will be shipped to his home for interment. William Brooks, an electrician, is a recent arrival in the city. He obtained immediate employment at the saw mills at a salary of $75 a month. George Hoard, an old resident of this city, returned to California Wednesday evening. While here Mr. Hoard purchased valuable property on Eighth street, and is contemplating returning shortly with his family and reside here again. Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Jasper, who have been the litigants for some time in a contest for the acquisition of two valuable lots on East Central avenue, were notified last Friday that the courts had decided the case in their favor. In honor of the event they were given a "surprise" by 30 of their friends, who marched in upon them Friday evening amid the glare of torchlights and the blowing of horns. The party, marshaled by Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Montgomery, carried with them abundant refreshments and the evening was pleasantly spent in various amusements. The ladies of the A. M. E. church gave a Leap Year social last Thursday evening. The gentlemen were requested to come to the residence of Rev. M. Jones and the ladies met at the residence of Mrs. Robt. Fancette. The ladies then went to Rev. Jones' home, each lady escorting the gentleman of her choice to the church, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The gentlemen were shown every courtesy in accordance with the leap year custom. Over 40 couples were present. A short but excellent program was rendered, the participants being Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Lott and Mrs. Byas, Misses R. Lott and F. Ellsworth and Messrs. Coleman and Williams. Afterwards a savory supper was served. The gentlemen all with one accord said they had been delightfully entertained. The affair was a grand success and a neat sum was netted for the church coffer. A Retaliation social was given Thursday evening for the benefit of the Baptist church by the gentlemen. A well-planned program was rendered, after which an excellent repast was served. A large crowd was out and the event will long be a pleasant reminiscence to all who were present. Dr. H. S. Cohen, the oily-tongued doctor from Trinidad, Colo., who came to our city a few weeks ago, suddenly left for parts unknown after relieving two of our well-known citizens of several hundred dollars on a drug store scheme. O Y THE NATURAL EFFECT. Littl. Wonder That Diner was Somewhat Off Mentally. The wild-eyed man looked hard from his table at the woman across the little room at the pink ink table d'hote. "Have you heard about these dynamite explosions going on all over the city?" he asked her. "I heard the one Saturday night," she said. "I couldn't help hearing it." "Well," declared the bright-eyed man, "don't give it away, but I am the cause of all those explosions." "For heaven's sake," whispered the woman to her companion, "did you hear that? Does he carry the bombs around with him, you think? I want to go home!" "I know that man," remarked her companion quietly. "No wonder he has attacks of brain storm now and then. He's been drinking this table d'hote ink and eating these dinners for two solid years."—N. Y. Press. The Boy and the Rats. In a large warehouse in Liverpool a boy named Edward Scott was employed to run errands. There were many rats about the place and he was told that if he could catch one and singe its tall all the others would leave. A trap was set and a rat was caught but while singeing its tall according to directions the lighted paper blew into a pile of straw and started a conflagration that burned four big buildings and inflicted a loss of half a million dollars. There are some smart boys in this world, but there are also some smart rats, and it is just as well to keep them apart. If the rat had caught the boy and singed his hair there might have been eight buildings burned. Denver, Colo., March 7, 1908.

New York city is the master bill contractor in the world, and the individual citizen owes more as a citizen of New York than he does as a citizen of the United States. Next to New York the 25 larger cities of the United States, in the order of their population, are as follows: Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, New Orleans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washington, Newark, Jersey City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Providence, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Rochester, Denver and Toledo. Their population, according to the census of 1900, was about 9,600,000, against 3,437,000 for Greater New York. It is not likely that this proportion has changed much. Now, the total bonded indebtedness of these 25 cities is about $417,000,000, almost $100,000,000 less than that of the metropolis. This means that the per capita debt of the citizens of New York is $145.35, against $43.45 for those of the other large cities. Boston with $116 and Cincinnati with $114 come the nearer to approaching New York's record, while Chicago and San Francisco, owing only $12 per capita each, make the best showings.—Broadway Magazine. BLAINE AND THE BORE. Statesman Had Method in Making Strict Appointment. A notorious bore came to see James G. Blaine when he was secretary of state. Mr. Blaine was busy. Still, he was polite. He was extremely sorry his engagements made it impossible to talk to the visitor, but he would be glad to see him next day, says the Saturday Evening Post. "What time?" asked the bore. Mr. Blaine made an elaborate consultation of his engagement book. "Come at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning," he said; "I shall be glad to see you then. You understand the hour, do you not? Ten o'clock, precisely." "I shall be here," said the bore. "Mark you," cautioned Mr. Blaine, "when I say 10 o'clock I mean 10 o'clock. You must be here on the exact minute. Promptly at 10, then." "All right," replied the bore, and went away jubilant. "Blaine," asked William E. Chandler, who was present, "why did you make such a precise appointment with that man? You do not want to see him." "I know it," replied Blaine, "but I fixed the hour with exactness and impressed it on him so I shall know when to be out." Medical Civil Service. Medicine has as its object the treatment of disease and the relief of suffering irrespective of the social status or financial position of the patient, says the London Hospital. Existing conditions of practice make well-nigh impossible the attainment of this object, and it is desirable alike in the interests of the public and of the rank and file of the profession that some more satisfactory organization of the conditions of practice should be found. Nothing short of a civil service will meet the requirements of the situation. There is a growing feeling, if we mistake not, inside as well as outside the profession, in favor of this solution of the problem, and there THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

A number of pieces of meerschaum had been tried, only to prove defective, and the last piece, which measured eight inches high, seven inches broad and 12 inches deep, was reduced to a pipe three inches high and $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches at its widest part. When completed the pipe had passed through the hands of 27 workmen. All in the Picture. "It's a queer proposition photographing the average foreigner," said a Euclid avenue photographer. "If you take a picture of a foreigner and get only a side view it's no go. He has to have both eyes and both ears showing, and even both hands. I had to take an entire family group over the other day because two or three of them didn't have both hands showing. They told me that they wouldn't think of sending the picture to their friends across the water if there was a hand or an ear missing in the picture, as their friends might think something had happened to them."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. His First Trousers. Little Tommy was at Sunday school in his first pair of trousers, and a picture of a lot of little angels was before the class. "Tommy, would you like to be a little angel?" asked the teacher. "No, ma'am," replied Tommy after a careful inspection of the picture. "Not to be an angel, Tommy? Why not?" inquired the teacher in surprise. "Gause, ma'am, I'd have to give up my new pants." Time to Move. "They're putting out an awful lot of good songs these days," said Mr. Staylate. "Yes?" queried Miss Patience Gonne with a yawn. "Yes; there's a new march song that's great. It's fine to march to—" "Indeed? I wish I had it. I'd play it for you." Always Holds to That. "It's remarkable how often a woman changes her mind." "Oh, not always. There's one idea every woman gets that she never changes." "What's that?"

When a perfectly strange woman came for the soiled clothes three weeks ago the mistress of the house came to the conclusion that her own laundress had simply employed a new messenger, and made no comment on the circumstances. But when two weeks had gone by, and still the old laundress—known as Susan, no last name having been mentioned—did not appear, the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking in her duty if she did not make some inquiry about her. "Where is Susan?" she asked the tall and bony structure who came for the clothes. "She has gone to Pennsylvania to live, yessum," returned this person, with composure. "She went to Pennsylvania some time ago, an' she lef' good-by fer yuh, but s'long es yuh didn't seem tuh notis I didn't say nuffin.'" "But why didn't she come and tell me and allow me to make some arragements about my laundry?" asked Susan's exmistress. "Well, she lef' yo' clothes tuh meh. She made a will an' lef' dem clothes tuh meh. Wese allus been good friend's, and so w'en she lef' she say I may wash yo' clothes long ez I wush tuh, an' dere wuz no use use worrying yuh 'bout it, now was dere!" To which moderate and sensible question the mistress of the house could only remain speechless.—Baltimore American. BOTH OF THEM SATISFIED. Business Man Had Joke and Book Agent Practice. "I wonder," said the tall man in the suit of faded black, "if I could interest you in a new and cheap edition of the works of Anthony Trollope." "I don't know," answered the man at the desk. "Go ahead and let me hear what you have to say." The book agent began at once. "Every student of literature knows," he said, "that Anthony Trollope was one of England's great novelists. It is true, perhaps, that he wrote for a limited class." And so on, for ten minutes. "No," said the man at the desk, turning again to his work, "you haven't succeeded in interesting me a bit." "That's all right," rejoined the tall man in the suit of faded black, replacing the sample volumes in his valise with imperturbable composure. "I have just started out canvassing with these books, and I was only practicing on you." Battles in the Blood. An interesting record of what may be called the battles that occur in the blood of a fever patient between noxious and benign microorganisms was presented at a recent meeting of the Royal Microscopical society. The patient in this case was suffering from malarial fever. The observations were made at intervals of a few minutes during a period of five hours. The defenders of the patient's life were a kind of leucocytes, which destroyed the malarial parasites. A leucocyte would engulf a parasite, which would then be seen undergoing a process of disintegration inside the leucocyte, and only the pigment granules were left. Afterward other leucocytes would approach and absorb even these granules.—Exchange Phone Main 3044 The best equip West.

LADY MISSIONARY EVANGELIST AT ZION SUNDAY NIGHT. Rev. W. S. Strong of the National Baptist Missionary Society, spoke at Zion Sunday night. Among other things she described how the Baptist church grew in the Guianias in South America. Rev. Strong is a native of Dutch Guiana, and after telling of the struggle for existence of the American minister at her home, the planting of the church, the building up of the church and Sunday school, and the attending hard, heartrending scenes and conditions, the unjust criticisms of the higher class society, she vividly painted a picture demonstrating the needs of missions in the foreign fields and asked for aid to spread the doctrine of one faith, one baptism and one God. She was very frank and her words of advice to both young men and women were excellent. It would not be amiss to speak of the noticeable improvement of Zion Baptist church choir since Mrs. E. L. Faulkner has been director. It may be because of the peculiarly shaped choir loft, but their beautiful voices rang out Sunday as never before; their pieces sung were very carefully selected and rendered faultlessly. Miss Eva Carter's solo assisted by the choir was so sweetly and appealingly sung that the audience burst out with an unrestrained "Amen" and "praise God." The choir has been augmented with the addition of Director A. A. Waller of the Choral Society and Dr. Justina Ford. Zion ought to feel very proud of her excellent choir. GOLDFIELD, NEVADA. Because the birthdays of Mr. George Spates and Mrs. W. C. McFarland happened on the same day of the same month, many years ago, the grandest of feasts was held in Goldfield last Sunday. Money was so plentiful here that we could not walk across the street, but called a carriage. But why shouldn't it have been? Did not Mr. Spates prepare everything, even the pink and white carnations and 24-pound turkey. Sherman Overton kept everyone in convulsions of merriment at his first experiences in a mining camp. And H. J. Foster, the right hand bower of Mr. Parker, told how he had been everywhere and had seen everything, but considered this the best affair of all. The other guests were Miss Grace Logan of New York and Mrs. Lucas of Chicago and Mrs. Groffell of California, and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. McFarland. It only remains to be said that the hackmen were growing quite impatient when the guests departed, claiming that they wished for the first of March to come once a week or oftener.

The article over my signature in The Statesman a couple of weeks ago was misleading to the extent that I was finding fault with insurance companies in general, when my intentions were only to find fault with the business methods of the late Commonwealth. The Colorado Mutual Benefit Association, so far as I know, is conducted on purely business principles along the same line as other insurance companies. D. D. COLE.

It is astonishing how all of us are generally cumbered up with the thousand and one hindrances and duties which are not such, but which, nevertheles, wind us about with their spider thread and fetter the movement of our wings. It is the lack of order which makes us slaves; the confusion of to-day discounts the freedom of tomorrow. Millionaires of Yucatan. The wealth of the mines of Mexico is proverbial, yet there are nearly as many millionaires in Merida, the capital of Yucatan, a state with practically no mineral resources, as there are in all Mexico combined. Henequin, or sisal hemp, as it is sometimes known, has made Merida, and its people rich. PAGE & DON'T CONDEMN COINS HASTILY. Not Necessarily Counterfelt Because They Won't Ring. Gold coins which do not ring are not always counterfeits, according to Operative Thomas B. Foster, in charge of the United States secret service work for this district. He demonstrated that fact at the police station, and as a result Aimee Sykes, alias Gera O'Gera, will be charged with stealing five dollars in lawful money of the United States from one William McGarrity. The woman was arrested by City Detectives H. C. Adams and F. W. Clark on complaint by McGarrity. The five-dollar gold piece supposed to have been stolen was found on her and was held as evidence. Clerk Billy Kent dropped the gold piece on the desk at the station and it fell like a piece of lead. There was absolutely no ring to it. Operative Foster was called in with a view of capturing a band of counterfeiters. "Just as good as any coin ever turned out of the mint," said the secret service man after he had examined the coin. "It is very probable that there is a small cavity in this coin. That happens very often and gives a great deal of trouble. When the ingots from which these coins are made are cast at the mint air bubbles get into them sometimes. When the metal is rolled out and the coins made the bubble sometimes stays there, and there is no ring to such a coin."—Seattle Post Intelligencer. HOW TO STOP A NOSE-BLEED. Good Idea, However, Not to Select One Who Bears You a Grudge. When the bellboy responded to the signal he found the elderly traveling man standing in the center of the room holding a handkerchief to his nose, from which the blood was oozing. "Give me a slap alongside of the head, good and hard," said the elderly man, turning his face toward the boy and speaking with difficulty. "But, sir, I—don't know what you mean, sir," stammered the boy, back-ing toward the door. "Don't stop to talk," sputtered the traveling man. "Slap me, I tell you," again holding his head forward. The boy hesitated for a moment, then timidly slapped the man's face. "Harder!" commanded the smitten one. The boy hesitated no longer, but with his open palm dealt the man a vigorous blow. "That's better," grunted the gory one as he removed the handkerchief and after a test found the bleeding had stopped. "I'm subject to these attacks of nose bleed," he explained to the astonished youth, handing him a tip. "I have tried all sorts of remedies, but nothing acts more promptly than a blow alongside the head. The shock seems to paralyze the ruptured blood vessels and they quit work at once. I got the idea from an old physician in Mexico." "When I was governor of Tennessee," said Senator Bob Taylor of Tennessee, "I received a letter from an inmate of the state penitentiary of Missouri. 'Mr. dear cousin,' it ran, 'it ain't fittin' fer one uv yore kinfolks THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. to be in the pen, an I wisht youd gif me out ef you kin.' It was signed 'Bob Taylor,' which looked as if the writer ought to be mighty close kin. "I sent it to the governor of Missouri with the following indorsement: 'I wish, if you can conscientiously do so, that you would turn this fellow loose. and if ever any of your relatives get in the Tennessee penitentiary, I'll return the favor." "I heard later," concluded the senator, "that Bob Taylor had gained his freedom, but whether through my efforts I have never learned. And he hasn't thanked me yet." Sort of Convincing. Col. Plummer of New York, who hates the sight of an automobile, bought the other day a handsome brown mare to match Barbary Belle. A day or two later he asked his groom what he thought of the new arrival. John replied: "She's certainly a fine lookin' 'oss, sir, but I'm afraid her temper's a bit too touchy." "What makes you think so?" asked the colonel. "She don't appear to take kindly to nobody, sir; she don't like me to go into the box to feed her." "Oh, she'll settle down in a day or two. The surroundings are strange, you know. I do not think there is anything wrong with her temper." "I didn't at first, sir," said John, "but you see she kicked me out o' the box twice and when you comes to think about it—that's sort o' convincin'." Shakespeare Notwithstanding. "Is there anything in a name?" inquired the man with mouse-colored whiskers. "You can bet there is. Name a boy Stuyvesant or Van Rensselear or Guoverneur, and he'll never hold anything but a first-class job. Nobody will ever dare ask him to swab windows or mop floors. And by the time he's 40 he'll be head of a trust company and director of 27 prominent concerns. Oh, yes; there's a heap in a name, lemme tell you." Odd. "Did you ever notice anything funny about his conversation?" "Funny? I should say not. Why, there's absolutely no point to it." "That's the funny part of it. Since it has no point how is it that it bores so quickly?" Landseer a Nature Faker. An English reviewer gravely assures us that Landseer's famous painting, "Eagles Attacking Swans," is based on an entirely false assumption. Eagles do not battle with swans or other quarry. They strike or pounce upon their prey and never descend to vulgar brawling. This is a handsome compliment to the eagle, but a sad blow for art. --- "Mr. Gayboy, when I went into a crowded car the other evening you appeared to be deeply absorbed in a newspaper, and I had to accept a seat offered me by an entire stranger. You didn't see me, of course. O, no!" "My dear Miss Pimmle, when a pretty girl enters a car where I am sitting I never rise and offer her my seat. I always know that a lot of younger fellows will do it at once and it won't be necessary on my part." "O, well, Mr. Gayboy, there was no harm done—and I have no doubt you really were too busy with your newspaper to see me. I was just joking."

The nearness of the general conference of the African Methodist church is orousing interest among not only members of that connection, but the whole race as well. The influence which this denomination exerts on our progress is too great for its quadrennial meeting to be lightly considered by anyone who appreciates the means by which the Negro must rise. After the legislation the one thing most engrossing is the election of the general officers and new bishops. The trans-Mississippi states have always had an enviable record in all departments of the church work and this year are a unit in asking that a man from the West be given the highest honor in the gift of the church. Dr. H. B. Parks, now of the Missionary work, is their choice and the gratifying compliments being given him from all over the country, make it seem likely that he will be chosen. The West is the coming home of the race. Our future is full of promise here and the election of a man from the West with his intimate knowledge of the possibilities of this region will enable the A. M. E. Church to take instant grip on the religious life of this new empire to the greater glory of God and helpfulness of the race. Dr. Parks has recommended himself to the church by his work in his department and the unanimity of his western associates in asking his elevation to the bishopric ought to be sufficient argument for the eastern and southern brethren to give their support to him.

There was an entertainment the night before and to this cause was due the dereliction of the boys. Considerations of personal profit, the future of themselves and their associates, fidelity to their employers were all forgotten—for a frolic. So long as Negro youths, in whom the future of the race rests, have not the intelligence and foresight to see in every new avenue of employment a means of demonstrating their ability, what hope is there that industrial opportunity will increase? If we have no sense of duty to employers, why should we bewail the unwillingness of white merchants to trust us? By all means let us have fun, but not to the neglect of the serious things of life. Instead of resolutions condemning whites for their prejudice, let us educate our own people up to our duty and responsibility.

The Statesman believes in the destiny of the Republican party. Not all members of that party are kindly disposed to us, but the great bulk of our friends are allied with it, and our hope lies with it rather than with Democracy. To the end that it may win success at the polls, we offer this space for contributions from our readers bearing on the political situation, with only the usual restrictions of size, legibility, etc. Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves child-like to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcedent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.—Emerson. ABOUT MR. BROOKS Continued from page one ments a share in the government, are so uncommon that we should bind ourselves to all such with hoops of steel. In this spirit I ask space in your paper to call attention to the record of Former Congressmen Brooks that the race may at this time show its appreciation of his services for us. Mr. Brooks, when congressman, secured the first national appointment for a negro from this state, though many leaders had preceded him with opportunity to do so. And this is the meat of the whole matter. Others could have, Mr. Brooks did. To be tax payers, to be voters, to be obligated for military service, and yet to be denied participation in the actual administration of government, is wrong. If there was no further qualification in him for the senatorship, this one act should be enough for the colored citizens of Colorado to unite for his election. He is the man who eliminated the color line in national politics in this state. Others before him, for 30 years, did not come up to the true spirit of Republicanism and for us to fall short of the fullest measure of support on the first occasion we have of showing that we appreciate him is worse than ungrateful. Chaplain Gladden is an argument for Franklin H. Brooks that the lover of his race cannot overlook, not that we love Hamlin less, but that we love Brooks more. Here in this county the colored people have a practical demonstration of what a friend he is. Nearly a dozen negroes from various parts of the state, are employed in the U. S. Mint because of the fair spirit that was in- stilled into the local representatives of the Treasury department. Contrast this with our complaint that in some of the Washington departments there is no room for a black face and you can at once see that in Mr. Brooks we have a friend who will bear the test of time. Let us cling to the true and tried and others who may pattern after them will know that our friendship and loyalty is not fleeting. Then there is even a graver reason why Colorado negroes should support Franklin H. Brooks for the United State Senate than any considerations of federal patronage. This year, or four years from now at most, the furtive batteries of Democracy will be turned with common accord on the rights of negroes. Our constitutional safeguards have been undermined already by adverse decisions of the Supreme court, and the letter of the law must not be entrusted to any other than friends who have been tried in the fire and not found wanting. This is no time for experiment. This is no time for weak-kneed support of our friends. The crisis in the negro's citizenship is at hand and he must meet it squarely and courageously. In the senatorial situation, to my mind, our proper course is to stand by Franklin E. Brooks. J. W. JACKSON Denver. Colorado Cauliflower Salad. Soak a head of cauliflower in cold water, break it into flowerets and cook in salted boiling water for 30 minutes. Keep it perfectly white; if it boils too long it will lose its color. When done lift it carefully and stand aside to cool. At serving time arrange it in a salad bowl, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a tablespoonful of onion juice, pour French dressing over all.
