NOVEL PLAN OF COLONIZATION TWENTIETH YEAR NOVEL PL COL (Part of paper read to the Alliance by If this government of ours will and really desires to help my race, let congress create a national commission of five men—say three white and two colored, all of unquestioned integrity and ability—who shall be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate, and whose duty it shall be first to select a territory within the United States sufficient to inhabit every negro in the United States. Suppose we should select the great state of Texas, which has an area larger than the combined area of the Atlantic states from Maine to Virginia, inclusive, and nearly one-third greater rthan that of the whole German empire. It is about 800 miles long and 750 miles in width, or an area of 265,780 square miles, of which 3,490 square miles constitutes water surface. That would make about 1,600,000,000 acres. Enough land to take care of 10,000,000 Negroes until they learned more self-reliance, and independence. We will call Texas now, for our purposes, Douglas Territory. Secondly, let congress declare this a territory for the colonization of the Negroes of the United States, and make such treaties and restrictions that he will be forever protected from intrusion by the white man. And by that I do not mean the absolute exclusion of white men. Let congress prescribe that in the organization of Douglas Territory it shall forever be under the protection of the United States and a part of them. This colonization commission, of course, will have suitable headquarters in Washington, force. Let them send out to the gov- --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY MARCH 27. with adequate and competent clerical ernors of each state, the leading Negroes, ( professional and business men of our race, the ministers especially, circulars or pamphlets informing the public of the creation of such a commission, setting forth its duties and powers, aims and objects, and that upon application to the commission that you desire to become a resident of Douglas Territory and upon depositing $100.00 to the commission, to show good faith, the commission will, at stated times, visit each state capital, or cities where any number of Negroes resided and own property, to appraise the property at its true value and issue a warrant upon the United States government for the amount, after you shall have taken oath that you will proceed to Douglas Territory within six months after receiving one-half the amount of the warrant due. The land in this Territory shall be held at so much per acre as congress may reasonably determine. And when you shall have selected your land and located upon the same the government will make final payment to you for your property, deducting one-half the amount due for the Territory land and the remainder to be paid in 5 years without interest. I realize that such an undertaking would be quite expensive and that there would have to be some confiscation of white citizens' property. But the debt created could be repaid to the national government by Douglas Territory just like our present states pay their debts by taxation, etc. The land confiscated from white citizens in the Territory would be appraised Continued on page 9 SAYS GOODBYE TO FRIENDS At .322 Arapahoe night, assembled one of the best and most con- that have ever come to her.

FIVE CENTS A COPY DBYE O FRIENDS REV. REYNOLDS AT SHORTER. Raises Over $100 in 40 Minutes for Ward Chapel—Everybody Helps. Sunday afternoon the officials of Shorter's A. M. E. church, together with the big hearted pastor, demonstrated their loyalty to the cause of Christ by permitting a struggling infant church to receive assistance through their congregation and in return witnessed a most inspiring and helpful sight of a Baptist minister preacning for more spiritual and financial generosity, showing the just demands of our duties. Men, women and children willingly and bounteously contributed to the cause. Rev. Reynold preached a powerful sermon and received hearty handshakes as the consequence. The striking picture was the gathering of all the pastors and of the various congregations. MISSIONARY RALLY. At Campbell A. M.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Take The Statesman during the Campaign Officials Refuse to Countenance the Spread of Western Ideas. A Shanghai correspondent of a German paper writes: "The custom of arranging matrimonial contracts through agents or matchmakers has been practiced in China for ages. The business receives support from all classes, for although the high-caste men in some instances select their first wives themselves, the additional wives are all secured through the agents. "This being so, it was only natural that a recently distributed proclamation, written by an unknown person urging the women to rebel against the old established custom, should have created more than a little excitement. The officials ordered the immediate destruction of the handbills on which the revolutionary screed was printed and the arrest of those who took part in their distribution. "The empress dowager directs that further efforts in that direction should be punished severely, and we know what that means. She said that from what she had heard the French marriages were for the most part happy and that these were usually arranged by the parents." HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST. Remarkable Vicissitudes Undergone by Stained Glass Window. The east window at St. Margaret's, Westminster, England, wandered about for more than 200 years before reaching its present position, and was the subject of seven years' lawsuit. Henry VII. for whom it was intended, died before the window arrived from Dordrecht and it came into the possession first of the abbot of Waltham and then of General Monk. Stained glass was anathema in Puritan days, so the window was buried until the Restoration, when it was brought to light. Refused by Wadham college it was bought for fifty guineas and erected in a private house and years later was bought for 400 guineas by the committee charged with the restoration of St. Margaret's, and placed in position in the church. The lawsuit to which we have referred was brought by the registrar to the dean and chapter on the ground that the window contained superstitious images, but after seven years' wrangling the church wardens proved victorious and the beautiful window was suffered to remain undisturbed.

"I'm about come to de conclusion," said Uncle Eben, "dat a client an' a lawyer sometimes keeps deir consciences easy by shiftin' de moral responsibility back an' fo'th between deir se'fs." Thief Plays. Whence the craze for thief plays? Is it a morbid kind of curiosity, or the result of our eccentric civilization, with its strange and violent contrasts? —Lady Violet Greville, in London Gazette. Purest Arab Horses. The purest breed of Arab horses are the Kochlani, whose genealogy has been preserved for 2,000 years. They are said to be derived from King Solomon's stables. Of English Dining Organizations Americans Liked This the Best. Probably of all the English dining clubs, that most hospitable to Americans was the Rabelias, which was founded more than a quarter of a century ago, which flourished for perhaps ten years and which has been defunct for now nearly 15 years, says Brander Matthews in Putnam's. It had among its organizers the late Lord Houghton, that stanch friend of the union through all the uncertain years of the civil war, and Sir Walter Besant, always untiring in his efforts to assure the solidarity of the English-speaking peoples. Among the original members when the Rabelais gave its dinner in 1879 were Charles Godfrey Leland, Bret Harte and Henry James, all then residents in England. Longfellow, Lowell and Holmes were elected to the club in 1880. Afterward other Americans were added to the roll—E. A. Abbey, Lawrence Barrett, John Hay, W. D. Howells, Clarence King and the present writer. Of all these, the one who took the most active part in the earliest days of the club's existence was Leland, the author of "Hans Breitmann." This dinner of the Rabelais club to Dr. Holmes in 1886, arranged long before he left his beloved Boston, whose bard he was and whose titles to glory he was ever glad to proclaim—this dinner was the largest ever given by the club and it was perhaps its last effort to establish itself solidly. Other dinners there were from time to time within the next two or three years; and then there were no more, and the Rabelais club ceased to be. It had run its course, and it came to an untimely end at last, for some reason not easy to ascertain. A Political Novelty. The conservative party in England is now trying a political novelty which, in ingenuity and completeness, may well delight the heart of an American campaign manager. Eighteen specially constructed horse-drawn vans are engaged in a political tour of England and Wales. Each van is equipped with a stereopticon and a gramophone. The vans are so designed that the rear end may be used for a screen, upon which cartoons and party war-cries can be thrown by the lantern. "British Work for British Hands," "Socialism Offers No Reward to Thrift," "The Policy of the Radicals is to Promise Everything. The Policy of the Unionists is to do Something"—these are some of the sentiments displayed. The gramophones repeat short speeches and exhortations delivered into them by the leaders of the party before the tour began. With each van is a driver, a lantern operator and a working-man speaker, who stands on a platform which, when not in use, folds against the side of the van. In cases where the lantern is not to be used the speaker stands on the tail-board. The whole plan is interesting, says the Youth's Companion, because of its simplicity, directness and the large number of persons which it can reach in an effective way. The use of a gramophone enables the party leaders to condense a speech into a few sledgehammer sentences, and deliver them again and again without the fatigue of travel. Youngster's Expression Touched the Hearts of Wanderers. The universal spread of American slang is amazing and the globe trotter meets with it in the most unexpected places. Last October two Americans wandering about the Plaza d'Espagna in Rome were accosted by one of the numerous small boys who sell postal card pictures of the Holy city. He held out a sheaf of postal cards and offered them for sale, stating the price in Italian. The Americans did not care to buy, and, like his guild the continent over, he followed them and became a bit of a nuisance. But he was such a merry eyed little chap they had not the heart to speak harshly to him. At last, however, they felt obliged to say "no" decidedly. It was then that he surprised them and gave them a queer little puli at their American heartstrings, by saying, his black eyes snapping with fun and the magnitude of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skeedoo! Twanta-thr-r-r-ree!" Then he vanished with a burst of laughter. But the sequel was equally interesting. Late that same afternoon the same couple came from the Catacombs into the white glare of the Appian way, five miles from the Piazza d'Espagna. They had hardly stepped into the street before the same urchin was at them again, and when he recognized them he was as amused as they.

"Children seem to be considered a nuisance among the rich nowadays," remarked a well known business man who has a large family, "and to the poor they are a luxury, so between the two extremes it is a little surprising that the infant population keeps up to its record. In the olden days it was different. Every man and every woman believed it a duty to their God and to their country to raise a large family, and they fulfilled the obligation with a good grace. But times have changed. The moneyed man of to-day has no time for children. He has his business to look after and his rents to collect, while his wife is continually on the go with social engagements and appointments with her modiste. So the stork is left to shiver in the cold. But the poor man is sometimes as guilty as the rich in this matter. He has a family of children, but he has no time for them. I heard this illustrated by a little story the other day. A working man who lives in one of the poorer districts of the city has seven children, the youngest of whom recently graduated from the creeping stage of its existence. The father was sitting in the kitchen when he heard the voice of one of his daughters who was in another room. 'Papa,' she said, 'the baby can walk.' 'Can he? Well, send him around the corner for a pint,' replied the parent, and resumed his reading."—N. Y. Press. Miss M. Smith entertained Carnation Art club Wednesday, which was also the election of officers: Miss Anna Newman, president; Mrs. T. P. Langon, vice-president; Mrs. T. Miller, secretary; Mrs. A. Jones, assistant secretary; Mrs. Austin, treasurer; Miss B. Price, reporter; Miss M. Smith, critic. After the business meeting a luncheon was served. Every member seemed to be delighted. The guest was Mrs. Flora Farhnam. The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Hayden to Mr. Monroe Miller occurred last Thursday night, Rev. Forsythe (white) performing the ceremony at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N. Colston. The hostess, Madam Colston, prepared an elegant reception. The presents were many.

All the ladies are requested to meet every Thursday evening at the parsonage, 3 p. m. sharp. A party of eight were pleasant callers to the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. A. Jones Friday night. The party was riding to the pleasure of the bride and groom. Since Mr. A. Jones has purchased his black phaeton and black horse, Madam T. P. Langon and Madam A. Jones are constantly riding from the city to the ranch and then to the city from the ranch. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. LARAMIE, WYOMING. Uncle George Washington Jackson, aged 74, an old timer in this city, was seriously shot through the neck last Friday evening by a man named Jones, who it seems has made good his escape. Jackson is slowly recovering at the Sisters hospital. Huda Raffle went to the Sisters hospital last week to undergo an operation. Mr. Wm. Morris and her sister Mary left for Denver last Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Fisher of New Orleans are new arrivals. Rev. W. E. Gladden, chaplain in the U. S. army and formerly a pastor at Colorado Springs, Colo., passed through the city in company with the U. S. 24th infantry last Saturday en route to Madison Barracks, N. Y. Rev. Gladden organized the Mt. Olive Baptist church here about six years ago and during his short stay a number of his friends and acquaintances had the plasure of shaking his hand once again. Miss May Durham entertained at her mother's home last Sunday a number of her associates in honor of her eighth birthday. Mrs. Durham served a nice dinner for the honored host and her friends. The occasion was an enjoyable event According to a table contained in the annual report of the Carnegie Foundation showing the annual incomes of nearly 500 colleges and universities in this country, there are only four with incomes above a million dollars. There four are not specified by name, but the Boston Herald suggests that presumably they are Harvard, Columbia, the University of Chicago and the Stanford university. The incomes of half of the whole 500 range all the way from $10,000 to $50,000 only. --- CANADIAN Home Cooking Rooms 1023 19th Street. REGULAR DINNER, 25c. From 12 to 1:30 O'clock.

I knew that a certain alderman in a certain town on Long Island was bitterly opposed to granting a franchise to an electric line, and soon after I heard that the franchise had been granted and that he had voted for it, I met him on the train and said: "Then you change your mind about that franchise?" Yes, I had to," he replied. "Any particular influence brought to bear?" "Yes. My wife persuaded me into it." "And who persuaded you wife?" "Her brother." "And was he persuaded?" "Yes, a lawyer persuaded him." "And the lawyer?" "Well, I reckon it was the president of the company that persuaded him. I stood out and stood out, but the persuasion was too great." "I have been told on good authority," I continued after a bit, "that the company gave the lawyer $1,500 to persuade with." "You don't mean it!" gasped the alderman. "But I do. Yes, sir, an even $1,500." "Then he's a durned skunk and ought to be shown up. He persuaded the whole family of us for $350 and put the rest in his pocket! That's what a man gets for being honest!"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. USED POISON OF RATTLESNAKE. Preparation That Made War Arrows of Cherokee Indians Deadly. An old Cherokee Indian recently gave away the secret how the Indians of olden times used to poison their arrow heads for war purposes or for killing bears, according to the Denver Field and Farm. They took a fresh deer liver, fastened it to a long pole, and then went to certain places where they knew they would find rattlesnakes in abundance. About midday the rattlers are all out of their dens, coiled up in the cooking sun. The bucks would poke the first rattler they found with the liver on the long pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes, always shows fight in preference to escaping. The snake would thus repeatedly strike at the liver with its fangs until its poison was all used up, whereupon it would quit striking and try slowly to move on. The bucks would then hunt up another rattler and repeat the performance, keeping up the work until the liver was well soaked with snake poison. Then the pole was carried home and fastened somewhere in an upward position until the liver became as dry as a bone. The liver was then pounded to a fine powder and placed in a buckskin bag, to be used as needed for their arrows. This powder would stick like glue to any moistened surface and was death to any creature which it entered on arrows. Insanity Cured by the Knife. Dr. N. S. Owensby of Baltimore has created something of a stir in medical circles by asserting that dementia preecox, or precocious insanity, had been cured in recent cases by the use of the knife to relieve the thyroid gland of an excess of certain chemical, in the blood or the secretions. Out of five cases so treated, all but one are said to have recovered, where as the disease has generally been regarded as incurable. Dr. Spitzka of the Jefferson Medical college, however, says that the theory on which Owensby operated has not been proved. Music for all Occasions Bid GEO. A.

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 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT DAY. Estate of Hubert Woolman, Deceased.

Barrie, the popular novelist and playwright, has glorified tobacco more than once, but on a certain occasion he tried to induce a smoker to desist. It happened thus: Mr. Barrie returned to his rooms one day and discovered his page boy puffing hard at a dirty clay pipe. "My boy," said the novelist, "it is very bad for you to smoke that coarse black twist. You will make yourself old before your time." And so he went on till he had delivered a long and what he believed to be a telling lecture. A day or two later the youth left without giving notice, and shortly afterward Mr. Barrie brought some friends to his flat. Promising them a special treat, he went to a cabinet where he kept a store of very choice cigars. You can imagine his chagrin when he discovered that the cigars had vanished, and in their place was the page boy's clay pipe and the following note: "Dear Sir: I agree with you that it is bad for a boy to smoke twist. I will not smoke any more twist till I have finished your cigars." Making It Plain. Little Rastus—But Ah kain't ondahstan' 'bout de yarth an' de sun. Uncle Mose—Lemme 'splain hit ter you' all.

Demand Removal of Ugly Signs. The city council of Springfield, Mass., has referred to the law officer of the city a petition for the removal of some billboards in Main street which have been eyesores for many years. The patience of citizens is at an end, and hundreds of them have signed a request for the abatement of the nuisance. Street Railway Accidents. One of the startling facts developed by the public service commission of New York city is that over 200 persons are killed or seriously injured every month by the urban railways under the commission's jurisdiction. The annual toll of deaths in accidents is between 500 and 600. MANY USES FOR THE HAIRPIN. Little Instrument May Be Said to Be Invaluable. It is an excellent substitute for a paper cutter. It will pierce a cigar or clean a pipe. As a buttonhook, either for boots or gloves, it is invaluable. In lieu of its sharper sister, the pin, seaside trippers have been known to find it convenient for extracting the winkle from its shell. In extremities it has served as a toothpick, horrible as this may seem, while, if a sufficient number are used, it supplies the place of a hatpin. There is another popular service also that it performs, says the London Chronicle. Recently at a smart hotel in London a young lady took up a novel, saying to the man who was carrying it round: "How far have you got with this story?" As she spoke she opened the book with that quick movement which inevitably betrays the book marker, then putting it down with a laugh added: "Oh, I THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD was looking for the hairpin which marked the place you had reached, but, of course, you don't use hairpins." What Was Lacking. A man who had served two terms in congress was making a campaign for a third term. In the course of a speech in the town hall at Broomcorn Junction, a village near the further boundary of his district, he said: "It is true, fellow citizens, that I have not always been able to do as much as I should like to do in the matter of internal improvements in this district, but I have never lost sight of your interests for a single moment. You have no idea of the obstacles that lie in the way of a congressman who tries to secure appropriations for public buildings, the improvement of navigable streams and the like for the benefit of his constituents, but I have labored constantly in your behalf to the very best of my ability." "We know it!" shouted an old farmer in the audience. "That's why we want an abler man."—Youth's Companion. What the Heart Does. This so-called most delicate of organs, the most vital, may be God's principal handiwork. There are scientists to-day who can make a man, but they cannot cause his heart to beat. The human heart is about 5 by $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ by $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ inches in size. It weighs from 8 to 12 ounces, and its capacity is from 4 to 6 ounces in each ventricle. It is a hollow muscular organ, through which passes $ 22 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds of blood every minute. Gaze on these figures and wonder! Sixteen tons of blood pass through it every 24 hours! Do some more thinking. It beats about 72 times a minute in a healthy adult man. Now, think still harder—in one year 11,680,000 pounds of blood pass through the heart. Such figures stagger humanity. When "Drammers" Come Easy. At the Players' club in New York one evening there was a guest from out of town, a playwright well known for his extraordinary facility in turning out the alleged "drammers" that do the "ten-twenty-thirt." circuits. It is no uncommon thing for this producer to grind out five or six of his plays annually. Some one innocently asked the playwright if it was rather difficult to find new ideas for his plays. "Really, I don't know," was the frank answer of the man who has made thousands of dollars from his "drummers;" "I have never tried it." —Sunday Magazine. Certainly. Visitor—How do you do, Tommy! I've come to stay at your house a week, and I'm sure you can't even guess who I am." Tommy—I'll bet you one thing." Visitor—What? Tommy—I'll bet you're no relation of father's.—Harper's Weekly. Consolation. "Steward, how long will it be before we get into the harbor?" "About an hour and a half, ma'am." "Oh, dear, I shall die before then." "Very likely, ma'am. But you'll be all right again when you've been on shore ten minutes."—Marine Journal C. H. HOLLY J. R.

A woman who once lived in Philadelphia is always younger than she looks, because they don't count the Philadelphia years. The farmer who is onto his job will have three or four nice looking girls boarding at his place during harvest. Then he will have no trouble in keeping male help. Men may be a lot of chumps, but they know better than to guess a woman's age too old. Two places in Iowa now claim Uncle By as a product. Oh, we're getting great, all right! A bald head is no sign of marriage. I know a man who fell asleep beside the road and the calves chewed off all his hair. "The smartest boy in my class at school is now a butter maker," says a writer in a Nebraska newspaper. The inference is that he should have been a lawyer or a trust magnate, I suppose.

A man 80 years of age and a woman of 72 eloped from a home for old people at Dornbirn, a little town near Bregenz, because they were refused permission to marry. A week after they returned to the establishment stating that they had been married and had spent all their money in having a good time. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. How a Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen Purse In Church. From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing story of coincidences. A pilgrim went to one of the priests and complained that some thief had stolen his purse while he was in church, and asked for money. The priest replied that he had no money and that the best thing for the pilgrim to do was to try to find the thief. "I shall go into the church and steal money from somebody else," said the pilgrim, "for I have nothing to go home with." He went into the church and seeing a man in the crowd with a wallet on his back slipped his hand into it and pulled out his own stolen purse, with the exact sum he had left in it. He was so glad to find his money that he hurried off to tell the priest and the thief got away. First idea of the Telegraph. Long before Prof. S. F. B. Morse had perfected his great invention the word "telegraph" was used for a sort of semaphore. In the French revolution a "telegraph," assisted by telescopes, was devised to carry news over immense distances. Forty years before this time, however, there was published the first detailed scheme for communication by means of electricity. It is outlined in a letter to the Scots magazine, written February 1, 1753, from Renfrew and signed "C. M." This suggestion was to transmit a "charge from the conductor of an electrical machine at the sending station along an insulated wire to the receiving machine, the presence of the charge being indicated by the behavior of a light pith ball or the passage of a spark." Each letter of the alphabet was to have a separate wire, so that any word might be spelled out and any message sent. What you have been has about as much relation to what you are as a mule has to a thoroughbred horse. When a man has too much time to devote to public affairs it is just as well to look what his private graft is. It is not the man who makes so much as it is the one who saves that finally becomes the victim of a broken bank.—Uncle Dick, in Milwaukee Sentinel. QUAKER REFLECTIONS People who are stuck up seldom stick up for each other. The blue laws don't prevent some fellows from painting the town red. A girl may not be stylish, but when she has the mumps she certainly looks swell. No, Maud, dear, we wouldn't advise you to go to a detective agency to have your umbrella recovered. "So you are hungry, eh?" said the woman to the tramp. "How would a few chops suit you?" "Lamb or wood?" asked the tramp cautiously. "When I get mad I always go to my aunt," volunteered little Willie. "And why?" asked the caller. "O, she's so sympathetic, and you know a soft aunt, sir, turneth away wrath," replied Willie.—Philadelphia Record. Phone Main 3044 The Past The best equipped P West.

LOOK OUT FOR SHARPERS To the Editor of the Statesman: Dear Sir—So that the people may know, I desire to announce through your paper, that a Mutual Benefit Association, will shortly be organized on the fraternal plan, for the purpose of furnishing to the colored people of this city, accident, health and life insurance - premiums payable weekly. This new concern will offer large benefits in order to secure the business, and after extracting their fill of funds from the pockets of the colored people, will quit this city and hike for new pastures. As a large portion of the negroes do not know that the only safe companies are those having a deposit with the insurance department of the state, these free-booters propose to take advantage of their limited knowledge on the subject and work them to the limit. Their agents will visit the public on motorcycles, and work hard and fast with the view of securing as much money in as short a time as possible. The fools are not all dead, and they expect to clear up a handsome sum in the near future. FRED SMILEY. The Friendship Sewing Circle organized at Mrs. Thomas A. Cox's, 2633 Marion street, March 21st.

There could hardly be a more profitable undertaking for a young man and young woman who contemplate matrimony than a study of marriage as a historic institution. It would show them better than almost anything else could do their relations to society and to the state, and would give them a personal understanding of what the minister means when, in the beginning of the ceremony, he says, "not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly." The laws of marriage in all Christian countries, says the Youth's Companion, are derived from the canon law, that is, the law established by the Christian church in the middle ages. This law was based upon the Roman civil law, influenced to a considerable degree by Teutonic ideas. Marriage laws are also influenced, and in some countries controlled, in respect of marriage within certain degrees of relationship or affinity, by the laws of Moses, contained in the book of Leviticus. Gradually some of these prohibitions have been relaxed. In the recent case of the deceased wife's sister act of England it was a matter of controversy whether the Mosaic law forbids such marriages. The purpose of all statute law, as applied to marriage, is now and has always been primarily the protection of the state, and secondarily the safeguarding of the rights of the contracting parties. The Roman Catholic church regards marriage as a sacrament. The Protestant churches of western Europe reject this theory, and in order to lessen or prevent secret marriages demand that the consent of parents be obtained. Even in Roman Catholic countries to-day marriage is governed by civil legislation. The civil marriage has been said, indeed, to be the great innovation of the nineteenth century. In most Catholic countries two services are performed. The religious ceremony complies with the theory that marriage is a sacrament, the civil ceremony with the theory that it is a contract. In these countries the civil ceremony alone makes the marriage valid. The church ceremony alone does not. In Constantinople the shoemakers are all poets. While a customer is having a heel repaired or a shoe relaced the attendant recites extemporized or memorized verses to him; as the language is Arabic or Turkish the listener rarely knows whether he is hearing a good or bad verse. On the Muski, the Broadway of old Cairo, one can buy the red leather, sharp-toed slippers, universally worn in a land where there is rarely any rain, for about 60 cents. They are not worth more, being very flimsy articles in construction. They are not representative of the Expert English or American hand-made shoe—which is a thing of beauty, of comfort and of enduring utility. The National Indian Congress of Bombay broke up in a free fight. The strenuous nature of the contemporary legislative life is a new vindication for athletic courses in our public schools and colleges. With the theory THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Too Much Tee. He was a solicitor of more or less repute, and his Saturday afternoon's pursuit was golf and whisky and soda. On this particular Saturday, however, he had been detained in town. On reaching home he was met by his wife and little daughter. "No game to-day, my dear," he said to his wife, as he picked up his little girl and kissed her. Then his daughter sniffed the air and said, "Well, daddy, you do smell awfully of golf."—Tit-Bits. Her Favorite. Margaret and her little playmate Elizabeth chanced to be overheard as they were walking home from school. "What's your very favoritest color?" Elizabeth was asking. Margaret looked thoughtfully for a moment, and then said, enthusiastically: "Plaid!" of fist oratory openly acknowledged and reduced to practice the making of laws may be as expensive as ever to the people, but they will consider the cost as worth the price for the fun of following legislative debates. Anna Gould will yet be obliged to hire a special secretary to deny marriage rumors about her. She might arrange with the newspapers to have the rumor of her union with the prince issued on Tuesdays and Fridays, with her stereotyped denial, and on Thursdays and Saturdays the rumor of conciliation with her former husband. That would leave her three days to herself, which is little enough. Danger of burial alive will be removed if the test of death proposed by a French surgeon is shown to be infallible. He says that X-ray photographs of bodies, made even a few minutes after death, reveal clearly the outlines of all the internal organs; whereas if life still exists they are not visible in the photographs. The fact that, owing to the shortage of the cocoa crop, the price of chocolate is to be increased interests the cook. The concomitant fact that the price of chocolates may be increased interests the girl in the parlor with the chafing dish. A Pennsylvania barber was arrested for hugging a girl in a tunnel. During leap year men of sensitive natures will wait for the girls to make all such advances. Fashionable women in London smoke, while factory girls shun the weed. Who constitute the better classes over there may well be a matter of opinion. A fashion note advises homely women to drape white cloth over their mirrors. Crepe might seem not inappropriate, either.

HOLLY --- The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with TRADE MARK (Registered) 2118 Arapahoe Stree Guglielmo Goggi, a musical student, aged 20 years, committed suicide in Rome under particularly dramatic circumstances. He had been engaged in composing an opera, and his flancee, a beautiful girl of 18 years, was writing the libretto. She had frequently told him that she felt too weak to go on with it, but he urged her to try to finish a work which, he said, would revolutionize the artistic world. A week ago the opera was completed, but the girl had meanwhile become dangerously ill. The young lover was seized with remorse, for he realized that he had brought on the illness by making his flancee work so hard. He rushed to her bedside, and after tearing the opera into shreds he implored her forgiveness. He then opened the window and threw himself to the street below. The girl died an hour later.—London Express. Lessons in Laughter. "I often think," said a teacher of singing, "that vocal training might profitably include lessons in laughing. Most people would be the better for it, for, consider, how rare is a really musical laugh. Some people who can sing well laugh harshly when they laugh at all, for laughter of any kind is rarer than it should be. "To be popular you must be cheerful, and the most popular people are the jovial ones—those who can dispel a cold, artificial social atmosphere by a ringing and musical 'Ho! ha!' Training in laughter would mean the banishment of the inane giggle, the snigger, and the grin. We should either smile or laugh melodiously, for no matter what the natural tone of the laugh may be it can be trained into a thing of beauty." Art in an Elevator. "I just love to see art extending its influence to the masses," remarked the cynical young woman. "There's that elevator man in the building I just left. He wears a gray livery and his cap has a straight black leather visor. Now, there is an art gallery on the top floor of the building, and he has heard so much, probably, about the harmony of colors that he has allowed the dust to gather on the visor of his cap just to have it harmonize with the rest of his clothes." Hard Thrust. "We come to your city and write up your manners and customs," scoffed the haughty New Yorker. "Why don't some of your brains come to Gotham and write up our manners and customs?" "We might write up your customs," replied the Chicago man, indelicately, "but we'd have a hard time finding your manners." Love's Language. Again he crushed her to him. "Darling," he breathed, "this kiss tells you all that I would say." Pause. Then: "Did you understand me, dear?" he whispered. Blushing faintly, she rejoined: Fulfilling Expectations.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Speculator Scorned to Make Provision for Lean Years. The late Townsend Percy, speculator and promoter, who made and lost more than one fortune in the course of his life, used to be fond of repeating some of his mother's witticisms at his expense, generally brought about by his extravagances during his periods of prosperity. Once Percy had driven four-in-hand for a year, when an unfortunate "deal" made it necessary for him to reduce expenditures and sell his horses, on which occasion she said to him: "Townsend, don't you think that it would be better to drive one horse four years, instead of four horses one year?" Another time, when on the verge of financial crash, Percy still owned a considerable stable, and gave no outward sign of pecuniary embarrassment. His mother met an old friend of the family about this period, who congratulated her on her son's success in life. "I am glad that Townsend is doing so well," said the friend. "Yes, indeed," remarked the old lady. "Townsend has six horses and seven carriages and eight dollars."— Harper's Weekly. TREASURES IN LONDON BANKS. Sultan of Morocco Has $5,000,000 Worth of Jewels There. Abdul-Aziz, sultan of Morocco, is taking no chances of losing his personal jewelry in the course of one of the frequently recurring disturbances in his country. Locked up in the vaults of a bank near Charing Cross, London, the jewels, valued at $5,000,-000, are guarded night and day. They occupy a space less than the size of a bushel basket and lie about thirty feet below the level of the Strand. Not far away, in the same vault, are several million pounds' worth of unclaimed jewelry, some of which was deposited there during the French revolution. French people, fearful of being robbed in the reign of terror, secretly conveyed their possessions to London and a vast quantity has been left uncalled for. The bank authorities have failed in every effort to locate the original owners' heirs. An offer of $1,250,000 as a loan on the sultan's jewelry has been made, but the sultan is anxious to raise much more than that. Book Friendship. I never come into a library (salth Heinsius) but I bolt the door to me, excluding lust, ambition, avarice and all such vices, whose nurse is idleness, the mother of ignorance and melancholy herself, and in the very lap of eternity, among so many divine souls, I take my seat with so lofty a spirit and sweet content that I pity all our great ones and rich men that know not their happiness.—Robert Burton. Early Croziers. The earliest mention that is so far disclosed of the use of a crozier is of one carried by Ataldus, archbishop of Reims, who died A. D. 933. An ancient Saxon or Norman font in Winchester cathedral has a very old representation of a bishop with a crozier, probably the earliest example to be found in England. A crozier of rude shape is cut on the tomb of Bartholomew, bishop of Exeter from 1161 to 1184.

There are times when the need of business training is painfully evident among Negroes. The limited opportunity which we have for acquiring preparation for twentieth century competition does not in any degree free us from the suffering and losses that result from ignorance. The honest purpose of individuals in the great majority of cases is not to be doubted, but slack methods of doing, the lightness with which the word is pledged, procrastination, forgetfulness, are worse enemies of good results than sheer dishonesty. Safes and fire arms give insurance against the rascal, but the weak man, who slips because he will not try to stand up, cannot be guarded against in that fashion. He wins confidence only to abuse it because he does not assist his honest purpose with system. The thing for the lodges, societies, businesses and individuals to do is to divorce business from sentiment. Plan your business, improve on it as experience shows weaknesses in any particular. Make your word good at whatever cost, but better still, put your promise in writing and then neither death nor money will intervene to prevent the faithful execution of your promise. Be square, and remember that system is the only means of being square in business. Give receipts and exact them in return. Keep books even in household affairs and you can live within your income.

SHALL THE RACE TRY LYNCH LAW ON THE REPUBLICAN PART Peace and Prosperity It is so easy to criticise, to tear down, that it is not remarkable that this year, the opposition to the Republican party has by fair and foul means won many Negroes to their cause. 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. Position of the Republican Party on the Negro Taft is a Typical Republican when He says "Look Up". Part of His New York Speech. I come now to the political phase of the Negro problem and the effect of the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution. The immediate effect of the Fifteenth amendment, with the exclusion from the franchise of those who had been engaged in the Confederacy, was to throw large political power into the hands of an electorate that had not the education properly to conduct a government. And this led to the abuses which have been held up to execration by the lurid picture of the reconstruction days. How far these pictures have been colored beyond the truth by partisan and race prejudice it is not necessary for us to discuss, because one of the things which every lover of his country ought to refrain from doing is to say the things which are likely to stir up again the dying embers of race and sectional hatred. It is unnecessary to do so. Even the truth under such circumstances is an offense. It is enough to say that following reconstruction days, the votes of the Negroes which under state and national laws they were entitled to cast, were by fraud and violence made to count for nothing, and since 1880 the Fifteenth amendment in a number of the Southern states has been treated largely as a dead letter. Of recent years, however, the leaders of the South have felt deeply the demoralization sure to follow the flouting of the law and the maintenance of a government on fraud and violence. They have seen that it was impossible to confine that lawlessness which justified to rid themselfs of what they called Negro domination to the one purpose, and they have felt its degrading influence in the whole political atmosphere of the South. Hence they have attempted to make the laws of the South square with the exclusion of the Negro from the ballot. They have sought to do this by acts which were in their inception an evasion of the Fifteenth amendment by the use of so-called "grandfather" clauses and in other ways. But ultimately after these "grandfather" clauses had ceased to operate, the laws upon which they have depended were laws creating educational and property qualifications for electors. It is charged, and doubtless with truth, that such laws were not intended to be enforced against the whites, but only against the blacks, and that in this way they have continued to annul the Fifteenth amendment. In a population where illiteracy is proportionately very large, no one can object certainly under the Federal constitution to the establishment of electoral education of property qualifications. And I do not understand that the intelligent colored men of the country object to the passage and enforcement of such a law, but they do object, and have a right to object, to the partial enforcement of such a law in such a way as to exclude the ineligible black man and allow to vote the white men who are equally ignorant and ineligible. But, my friends, I am an optimist, and as I have already said, I regard the signs in the South, changing from one method in respect to elections to another, as an indication that in the near future there will be a steady immovement toward a more and more equal and impartial enforcement of these electoral laws. I think so because it is the part of political and economical wisdom. The property and educational qualifications make utterly impossible a return to the abuses which many Southerners profess to fear. The so-called Negro domination is nothing but a dream and a nightmare of the past. The Fifteenth amendment, while in the past it may not have accomplished all that its author intended it should, has in it this inestimable benefit to the Negro race, that it fixes a restriction upon state election laws that may be temporarily violated but can never be removed. However, the opponent of equal political rights to the Negro may turn and twist, whatever devices he may invent to give a specious appearance of legality to laws intended to exclude the Negro because of his race or color, he will find his purpose inwarted by the broad and generous scope of the language of the amendment. The amendment is the measure of lawfulness toward which all good movements and all progress in the South must necessarily tend. What a Negro and his friends demand is equality of enforcement of the law under the constitution, and toward that end I feel convinced that all the influence of industrial progress in the South and the closer union between the sections necessarily are making IN MEMORY If Walter B.

The land purchased from the Negroes in the States could be resold by the government to help make up the debt created by confiscating white citizens' land in the Territory. Again it should be settled that no one should have or hold title to more than 160 acres of land in the said Territory for obvious reasons. During the organization of said Territory the president shall have power to appoint a governor and other Territorial officers, and the Territory shall be upon the same basis and governed just the same as all other Territories in the United States. When the Territory has an actual population of 250,000 Negroes, it shall be the duty of congress to declare it a state. And in six months after a state constitution shall be adopted by the people of the Territory and approved by congress, the president shall order an election of state officers. There shall also be two senators and representatives in congress, according to our population. Provision shall be made also for the judicial branch of the new state, all said officers to be Negroes judges, lawyers, sheriffs, clerks, and all. It shall be further provided by treaty that all railroads entering and running through this Territory shall have Negro dispatchers, Negro train conductors, engineers, brakemen and porters. That there shall be no discrimination shown toward any person traveling in or through the Territory on trains or while stopping at hotels. I have not mentioned the public school system because that would naturally follow in such a state. I would, however, advocate a reasonable compulsory educational law for this Territory. I would not interfere with the churches, but let every one serve God according to his own dictates. But, in such a Territory and with such a people what a grand thought if we could once have one church. How grand if all the different denominations could strike a happy, religious, denominational medium and all come in under some one bead. It would serve to strengthen and unite us and make us more powerful. And so, my friends, I might go on ad infinitum with this plan of Negro colonization in the United States, but I deem it sufficient to give merely a The Inter-State Literary Society's prize-winner in original music, "Nocturne," composed and written by Mr. Clyde Andrews of Denver, Colo., now attending Western University at Quindaro, has been published in high-class sheet music form for the piano, and organ, and is now being sold all over the Western states by Professors Albert Ross and R.

The matter is well illustrated by the story of a postage stamp which has just been added to a famous western collection. The stamp is what is known as a "postmaster's provisional," and was issued in Alexandria, Va., in 1847. Three or four copies of the same stamp, printed on buff paper, were already known, but this one is printed on blue, and is unique. The stamp was on an old letter which had been preserved merely for family associations. The owner of it chanced to show it to a New York collector, who was honest enough to tell her that it was of considerable value. Another collector, an old friend of the family, offered $200 for it; but the family lawyer succeeded in selling it for $4,000. Packages of old letters sometimes, although not often, become magic purses. There may be some justification for the demand for enlarging the suffrage in Germany, for the movement seems to be in line with the trend toward liberalism in every direction, illustrations of which are seen in the proceedings in Persia, where the people have enforced the adoption of a constitution; in Russia, where the struggle is between absolutism and a greater consideration for popular sentiment; in China, Portugal and elsewhere. But it is a grave mistake to ally the agitation with socialistic scheming. The thoughtful citizen must realize that socialistic teachings are a hurt and not a help to liberalism, and mob rule is in various respects more dangerous and intolerable than well-regulated government power. An English writer who came over here and who, in consequence of the indecency of her much-advertised book, was snubbed and took revenge by calling some New York clubwomen frumps, frights and tabby cats, is now naturally going on the stage, it is announced. It is about time, declares the Baltimore American, that all true lovers of the stage and all admirers of the talented and self-respecting men and women who have made protest against this idea that the stage is a legitimate place for the exploitation of any notorious or widely advertised personality, regardless of training, experience or ability. It is an insult to the public's intelligence which the public should resent. Time to Move. "They're putting out an awful lot of good songs these days," said Mr. Staylate.
