J. W. JACKSON IN WASHINGTON Delightfully Entertained by Register Vernon and Meet Washington's "Smart Set." Washington, D. C., March 28.—Mr. J. W. Jackson, a prominent business man of Denver, Colo., and a political leader of his state; Mr. Nick Chiles, editor of the Plaindcaler, Topeka, Kansas, and Mr. T. P. Mahammitt, editor of the Enterprise, Omaha, Neb. have been the guests for several days of the Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury. They are a fine set of gentlemen, full of energy, and typical of the hustling West, and made an excellent impression upon the good people of the national capital. They saw all the interesting sights that abound here in countless numbers, and got a peep at the big statesmen at the Capitol, where the law-makers hold forth and "save the country" at critical periods. Tuesday evening, Register Vernon gave a brilliant reception for the visiting gentlemen at his stately residence, 420 T street, Le Droit Park, and they enjoyed one of the most delightful social functions of the season. The guests present who came to meet Messrs. Jackson, Mahammitt and Chiles were: Messrs. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds; Cyrus Field Adams assistant register of the treasury; W. L. Houston, grand master G. U. O. of O. F.; W. H. Clifford, J. A. Lankford, H. C. Tyson, Charles E. Hall, Ira T. Bryant, Major Arthur Brooks, Lieut Thos. H. R. Clarke, Justices Robert H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett; Professors A. H. Glenn, Kelly Miller, John T. Layton, W. Bruce Evans, DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY APRIL 3. 1908 Neival Thomas, Doctors A. M. Curtis, J. C. Dowling, E. Sumner Wormley: Attorneys L. M. King, L. G. G. Gregory and Mr. R. W. Thompson. Rarely is there gathered together, even in the resourceful and versatile capital of the nation, such an aggregation of distinguished professional and business men, and Dr. Vernon proved to be a host full worthy of the grand occasion. An elaborate luncheon was served by the prince of gastronomics, J. W. Gray, after which impromptu speeches were made by everyone present, and the interpolation of tuneful melodies by Prof. John T. Layton and Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, contributed to the charm of the hour. Dr. Vernon acted as toastmaster, and had a good word for all. Dr. Vernon is "Everybody's Register of Everybody's Treasury," and his latchstring is out for the country at large when its representative journey this way. DAVID G. HUESTON David G. Hueston died suddenly at Red Cliff white en route on his Pullman car. His body was found after a few days and had to be buried at once. Mrs. Hueston has just arrived from California and accompanied by Dr. Ford, has gone to Red Cliff to get the full details of the matter and arrange whatever has arisen in connection with her husband's death.

Miss Andrews presided at the piano, assisting Lawyer Ross, the president, to hold the crowd. It was a social, musical and financial success for which the club thanks the public for its generous patronage. With nearly forty voices carefully blended to give the best musical effect, with the church crowded to the doors and standing room, and with a great baritone of the Tennessee Singers to sing, there was presentd Sunday night such a rare musical treat as Zion has not witnessed for many a year. Though on Sunday night a sermon is usually preached, verily it can be said that after the explanation and information given by the chorister, Mrs. E. L. Faulkner, hearts were edified, souls lifted up and lives blessed through the stories of Christ told in songs. So carefully did Mrs. Faulkner outline the history of the author, the circumstance under which it was written, that the whole audience bowed in silent assent to the instructive information. To express it mildly would be to say it was an eminent success. SCOTT'S METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Rally Sunday April 5th. All the pastors and their congregations are invited and will be present.

Scott, Who Mas Captured Contract from Government, Be- lieves Air Craft Will Revolu- tionize Warfare. Chicago—James F. Scott, to whom the government has awarded a $10,000 contract for an aeroplane, says that within five years the development of flying apparatus will have gone so far that aeroplane ships, carrying crews of 20 to 30 men, will be making reg- ular flights of 2,000 miles at a clip. He looks for progress to be made sim- ilar to that with the automobile, which has reached the present state of perfection within a decade. Mr. Scott is a scenic artist 45 years old. He has made at least a dozen working models, and the apparatus to be built for the war department is to consist of two main perfectly hort- zontal planes, with several smaller in- termediary planes, the whole weighing 1,500 pounds. Mr. Scott is intensely interested in the subject of aerial navigation, has decided ideas as to how a pa triotic American's knowledge and studies and investigations in any line of scientific endeavor should be used freely and unreservedly for the use of his government—and for the advantage of no other—and is firmly convinced that the need for all naval strength will be entirely done away with when aerial navigation, by aero- Planes, shall have been perfected. The Possibility of building a fleet of air craft which can destroy the mightiest leviathan of the sea by dropping explo- sives he regards as sure in time not only to revolutionize all warfare, but absolutely to do away with it. “The reason I wrote the government authorities that my invention would be at their service for $10,000, unre- servedly,” said Mr. Scott, in an In- terview, “is that 1 believe all patriotic Americans should devote their efforts to the welfare of their government, provided their lines of endeavor lie along lines like mine, and that a prohibitive price should not be put upon their work. I have the greatest faith in the idea that the United States is the country which {fs des. tined to reach the greatest heights in civilization, holding up the beacon lf {7 N . , s¥ Ys, oN S27 Y*) y AF s.) 4, Gala? \\ 4s sX& ¥ q Ns iH, Q \\ WSS NY \ EL ee Dh \ N WZAN kerars ANN ra for other peoples, and I believe every true American patriot should further this advance with all the earnestness that in him les.” To emphasize his patriotic motives Mr. Scott said in the course of the in- terview: “If the representative of any foreign power—England, France, Ger- many or other nation—came to me and told me that £1,000,000 lay in f bank subject to my check, provided I would turn over to them even the dia- grams of my aeroplane, I would refuse such offer. No amount of money could persuade me to sell my invention to a foreign power.” | “I ask for no aggrandizement, nor the plaudits of the multitudes,” says this sane inventor. “I hope to earn a fellowship in the ranks of those Whose only aim is to do good. ‘By their works ye shall know them.’ IJ do not even ask to be given credit for good intentions. “Although many people who have not studied the matter may scoff, I iyentire to predict that withn five years there will be constructed aero- | plane ships to carry crews of 20 to 30 men, haying engines of from 600 to 1,000-horse power and capable of flight of 2,000 miles at a clip. “The ship which I am building ac- cording to the specifications furnished the government will stay in the air one hour, will make its ascents and descents without danger, and will carry two men. My experiments have proved to me that the planes above and below must be perfectly flat and there will be no curves or con cavity in them. During the hour that it remains in the air my ship will maintain its equilibrium, be under per fect control and move in all direc- | tions, as required by the specifications required by the signal corps. “As compared with the aeroplanes of the near future the craft so far made are as dugouts to the most mod: ern ocean liner. I have the greatest respect and consideration for all the efforts that have been made by M. Henry Farman, the Wright brothers, Israel Ludlow, Santos-Dumont, Her- ring, Prof. Langley, Lilienthal, Octave Chanute and all the others. I have studied their craft and have read, I think, nearly all that has been writteo about them.” ‘GET YOUR | Easter Programs =v.

With closed eyes, two young men in the blind asylum were playing chess. The board they played on had the black squares raised and the white ones sunken, whilu the black Dieces were rough and the white ones smooth. “Give us this handicap on account of our blindness,” said one of the young men, “and we wiil play as quick and accurate a game of chess as anybody.

HARD WORK TO RETAIN YOUTH. One Man Declares He Is Not Envious of His Friend's Success. "The fabled secret of youth, the fountain of everlasting life and all the panaceas for growing old without looking old or feeling old are absurdities by the side of the process used by a professional man of my acquaintance," said a widely known lawyer of Philadelphia. "That man looks like a chap of 35, acts, eats, drinks and enjoys himself like one, but I know he's past 60, and considerably past it at that. He hasn't a gray hair on his head, his eye is bright, his skin clear, his step elastic, and his voice strong. What's the secret? It has been an inflexible habit with him from early youth to retire at eight o'clock in the evening and sleep until seven in the morning. On rising he takes a cold bath, but many men do that. Oh, that's all easy, you say? It's not so easy, after all. Try it and stick to it, despite engagements at the theater, business affairs left over from the day and all the variety of things of that sort, and you'll find it about as hard a task as you can place before yourself. Of course, there have been a few breaks in his lifetime habit. But in the main he has adhered to it. Do I recommend it? Well, hardly. It's a dry existence. I prefer this style of life, and am willing to die young accordingly." Bees and a Dog. Bees have a way of swarming in all sorts of places. One day about a million of them invaded a kennel where a terrier was quietly dozing. The dog naturally resented the intrusion, and not knowing the way to manage bees is to let them alone, even if they choose to settle on one's head, he tried to bite them, and was very badly stung. Fortunately his master was close at hand, and a few buckets of water saved the dog's life. Muck-Raking. General declarations against vice and sin are indeed excellently useful, as rousing men to consider and look about them; but they do often want effect, because they only raise confused apprehension of things, and indeterminate propensions to action, which usually, before men thoroughly perceive or resolve what they should practice, to decay and vanish.—Isaac Burrows. Philosophy of Epictetus. Epictetus: Everything has two handles; one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot. If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be borne; but rather by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you, and thus you will lay hold on it as it is to be borne.

New York city is the master bill contractor in the world, and the in- Aividual citizen owes more as @ citi- ten of New York than he does as a titizen of the United States. Next to New York the 26 larger cities of the United States, in the order of their population, are as follows: Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston, Balti- more, Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francis- co, Cincinnat!, Pittsburg, New Qr- leans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washing- ton, 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 indebt- edness of these 25 cities {s about $417,000,000, almost $100,000,000 less than that ¢ the metropolis. This means that the per capita debt of the citizens of New York is $145.35, ezainst $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, ow- ing only $12 per capita each, make the best showings —Broadway Magazine. BLAINE AND TKE 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 engage ment book. “Come at 10 o'clock to morrow morning,” he said; “I shall be glad to see you then. You under- stand the hour, do you not? Ten o'clock, precisely.” “I shali be here,” sald 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 Blaina, “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 treat- ment of disease and the relief of sul- fering irrespective of the social stat- us or financial position of the patient, says the London Hospital. Existing conditions of practice make well-nigh impossible the attainment of this ob- Ject, and {t is desirable alike in the in- terests 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 serv- ice will meet the requirements of the situation.

WAS TOO EASILY PERSUADED. One of the Troubles That Beset Honest Man In Politics. 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 changed 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 precox, 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 chemicals 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.

PAGE 2 ADOPTS A CHINESE GIRL St. Louis Millionaire to Ralse Her as His Daughter. St. Louis.—A poor Chinese girl probably will become a St. Louis society belle because Murray Carleton, millionaire dry-goods merchant, clubman and society man, has adopted her. She is a living monument to his dead daughter, whose name, Lexie Rust Carleton, she bears. The story of Mr. Carleton's Chinese "daughter" has just been revealed by him at a meeting of the Young LEXIE RUST CARLETON Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the Centenary M. E. church South. Mourning the death nine years ago of his daughter, Lexie, Mr. Carleton shortly afterward was trying to devise a plan to perpetuate the memory of her in something real, live and tangible, when his attention was called to a little girl on the other side of the globe, just Lexie's age. He began, with the missionaries of that district of China, negotiations which culminated in his adoption of the girl under his dead daughter's name. The girl, then ten years old, was placed in the Susan B. Wilson school, at Sung Kong, and now, at the age of 19 years, is about to graduate. Upon her graduation she will be given the choice of becoming Mr. Carleton's American daughter, or remaining his Chinese daughter and becoming a missionary to her people. She has announced her willingness to become a missionary, but Mr. Carleton, who has never seen her, desires that, before deciding she shall visit America and become acquainted THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD other members of her "American family"—Mr. Carleton's wife and their eight children. Although Miss Lexie Rust Carleton of China and the Carletons of St. Louis have never met, they know, from photographs, and from letters exchanged weekly, almost as much about each other as though she had been a member of the Carleton household all her life. The case is already in the hands of the gossips and on all sides are being asked these questions: Will the smart set "accept" the Chinese girl socially? Dare the smart set reject the adopted daughter of Murray Carleton, one of the foremost men, commercially and socially, in St. Louis? AUTHORS FOND OF MAINE. Many of National Prominence Have Homes in That State. The coast of Maine appears to have a peculiar attractiveness for authors. William Dean Howells, for example, has long had his summer home at Kittery Point, which is not far from Portsmouth. His house is surrounded by a fine old garden, in which the veteran author may often be seen at work. His library is located in an old barn set in the midst of an apple orchard. A little further up the coast, at York Harbor, is the summer home of Thomas Nelson Page. It is located on a high point near the sea. Here, too, comes John Fox every summer to be the guest of Mr. Page. Still farther on, at Kennebunkport, is the home of Mrs. Margaret Deland, who lives in a charming old-fashioned house surrounded by a real New England garden. Mrs. Deland has been particularly successful in raising jonquils. In fact, she has had such a large crop the past summer that she held a public sale of them and gave the proceeds to charity. Meredith Nicholson, the Indiana novelist, also has a home at Kennebunkport. Various authors live on the many islands that stud the beautiful harbor of Portland. The best known is Mrs. Clara Louise Burnham, whose home is on Bailey's island. On another island, not far away, lives Commander Peary.—Saturday Evening Post. to his father's house till an old man said: "Are you going to your father's, Black Eagle?"

"See me next week about it." See me next week about it. "But he who gives quickly gives twice." "That's just the point. I don't care to be held up later for a second subcription." 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. C. H.

Printing SECONDBETSYROSS WOMAN WHO MAKES FLAGS FOR UNCLE SAM. Miss Mary Woods, with Her Assistants, Turned Out 7,000 Last Year Which Cost an Average of Ten Dollars Apiece. New York.—It was considered a wonderful achievement when patriotic Betsy Ross made the first flag for Uncle Sam. Ever since she has been glorified in story and song, and there is not a school child in the land who has not heard her name. In fact, there are still to be seen old-fashioned lithograph pictures of the prim, quaint little woman sitting on her back Blazza working on the stars and stripes. But there is a second Betsy Ross among us who deserves a great deal of credit, for where the former turned out one flag our modern Betsy turns out thousands. The average visitor to the Brooklyn navy yard has no idea of what goes on within those grim military walls. Neither does he know that up on the third floor of the equipment department is our Betsy Ross No. 2, whose real name is Miss Mary A. Woods. It is 28 years since Miss Woods entered the employ of the equipment department at the navy yard. At that time she was turning out filmy gowns and beautiful costumes for the fair ladies of Brooklyn, when she suddenly decided to make flags for Uncle Sam instead. Accordingly, she presented herself at the navy yard with the proper credentials and impressed the officials so agreeably that an armful of piece work was given to her to take home, as was the custom in those days. Soon thereafter she was made "quarterwoman" of the flag room in the equipment department, where she has been for more than a quarter of a century. When Miss Woods first became "quarterwoman" — forewoman we would say in civil parlance—she had only six assistants. To-day she has under her 32 women and three men, who last year turned out 700 flags under her direction. Of these 1,580 were American, 500 were foreign ensigns, and the rest were signal flags. Miss Woods has made and handled more flags than any other woman in A. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO the world, and 90 per cent. of all the work done at the equipment department is cut by her, as she is a past mistress in the art of cutting. When Miss Woods has cut her bunting emblems they are turned over to their respective workers, who do nothing but that particular thing 313 days in the year. There are eight hand workers who baste, embroider and do the fancy stitches required by our fastidious Uncle Sam and foreign despots. These women receive from $1.52, fourth-class work, to $2.24 a day, first-class work, for the pay in the navy is always by the multiple of eight. Many middle-aged women find employment in this department, and in eight years not one has been discharged for lack of work. Miss Woods herself has taught her assistants all that they know of flag making. Miss Woods loves the beautiful, soft, all-wool bunting, and takes great pride in displaying it even before it is transformed into a flag. The velvets, laces, silks and satins of her dressmaking days seem frivolous compared with the fast colored buntings, the choicest output of the Lowell mills. "Last year," said she, "we used 140,000 yards. Can you imagine it? And ten years ago we used only 40,000 yards It cost Uncle Sam last year to run this room alone $70,000. Of this amount $50,000 was used for materials and $20,000 for labor." "No, the work is never monotonous," says Miss Woods, "for there is something new to learn each day. For instance, just before the fleet started for the Pacific the signals were changed, and all the flags had to be altered accordingly. Then you see there are a great variety of flags—408 in all and 43 foreign ones. So how can the work be monotonous? "And what is the most intricate flag to make? By all odds the San Salvador, because it is more concentrated. And the only flag on which the front is not the same as the back is the Paraguay, which has a lion on the front and a red five-pointed star on the back. There is more cutting, though on a No. 10 30-inch ensign than on a No. 1 ensign 36 feet long." Stop Distribution of Dodgers. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have forwarded to congress a bill prohibiting the distribution of circulars and like advertising matter on private property within the district. The object of the proposed law is to prohibit littering of vestibules, yards and other property within the building line with circulars, handbills, etc., which the commissioners say is now a source of annoyance to residents. The practice is prohibited on the public streets by police regulation, but the commissioners have no power to extend the scope of the regulation to private property. "Honesty the Best Policy." They were interviewing the crafty manager of the "get rich quick" syndicate. "But don't you believe that honesty pays?" asked the interviewer. "I certainly do," chuckled the manager. "It pays us. For instance, as long as the young men and women who answer our advertisements keep up their agreement to send us ten dollars weekly we are that much better off."

Knowing that so few people understand the vapor treatment, I propose to give 3 days' free treatments on The Eureka Nebulizer to all sufferers of bronchial, catarrhal and hay fever conditions. In fact, any trouble of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. With the vapor treatment you get full benefit of medicines applied directly to the affected parts without having it to take internally, which in many cases derange the stomach before result is obtained. Again, too, the bronchial tubes being so small, it is almost impossible to apply a remedy as satisfactory and at the same time effectively as the vapor treatment.

I have it in a frame in my room so every time I see you I am reminded to care for my hair before retiring. I am doing all you requested me to do and I see all you have told me is true. Mrs. Perkins, I can never thank you enough for the wonderful help you have given me in growing my hair so nicely. It is, indeed, a great help to any one's look to have a nice head of hair. I wish you lived in our city instead of Denver. I have so much confidence in your work that I believe just to put your hands on my head my hair would grow. I wish for you the greatest success in your work and pray you will soon come back to Philadelphia. Yours with love. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO E. P.

At least one number will be furnished by the Henshaw school and the others will be of the best in this city. H. Macklin, who has come recently from Australia, after twenty years' absence from Denver, has opened a candy store at 828 Nineteenth street. He has several specialties which he is placing on the market through the candy dealers. He conducts a retail business as well as wholesale at the above number. Mrs. M. E. Mackey, who has been visiting relatives in Illinois and Missouri for some time, returned to the city and is once more at home at 2260 Pennsylvania avenue. She is ready for business and her patrons in hair roods can rest assured of prompt and first-class service as of old. She will be glad to see all of her old customers and many new ones. --- The Knights of Pythies had the largest turn-out in the history of that order in Denver last Sunday at their annual sermon. The parade through the streets headed by the Progressive band, the Uniform Rank officers and members and the subordinate lodges, created much favorable comment. The music was the best that has led any similar parade for years and the line was the longest and best appearing. Rev. Ward, of Shorter church, delivered the address, discoursing feelingly on the historic friendship on which the order was founded. A large charity offering was raised. Gentlemen:—In acknowledging receipt of final payment of my claim for accident in the amount of $100, I desire to express my gratification for the courtesy and attention that has been accorded me during my disability. A policy in your company is a most valuable asset to any one dependent upon personal efforts for a livelihood. With best wishes for your future success, I remain Truly yours. The Columbian Tennesseans, a company of seven jubilee singers managed by L. J. Mason, made good at Zion church Wednesday evening before a full house. Their rendition of the famous jubilee melodies, as well as of popular and classical music, left nothing to be desired. The featuring of "Be My Teddy Bear," by the two lady singers of the company, was a hit. Mr. Huggins, the baritone, and Evans Tyree, the humorist tenor, need no company to make a fun spending the week here together with evening of entertainment. They are their advance agent, Phil Miller, and are the recipients of many social favors from the good people of Denver. The Taka Art Club met at the homson. The Takas are progressing of Mrs. Mabel Fallings Wednesday, April 1st, 1908. It being Literary day, the following programme was rendered: Recitation, Fisher Childs; lullaby, Miss Etta Nellson; paper, "What It Takes to Make a Home," Mrs. A. Crosswhite; piano solo, "Mermaid's Song," Mrs. Mabel Fallings; recitation, "The Miser," Mrs. Lida Bert, select reading, "Morning Influence," Mrs. Lottie Spatts; vocal solo, "By the Sad Sea Waves," Mrs. E. Andernicely and the programme rendered was an excellent one. The following officers were elected for the following, six months: President, Mrs. E. Gowens; vice-president, Mrs. L. Williams; secretary, Mrs. E. Waldon; assistant secretary, Mrs. L. Bert; treasurer, Mrs. L. Richardson; chaplain, Mrs. Hallie. The club will meet at 2421 Welton street, Wednesday, April 8, 1908. E.

WOULD CHANGE OLD GLORY. Philadelphlan Submits Design Putting Stars in a Circle. Washington.—The field of stars on the United States flag is becoming overcrowded with stellar emblems. As new states are added the difficulty increases of placing the stars in a graceful manner on the field and still leave room for others to be added. A bill has therefore been introduced in congress to rearrange the stars so as t 4 Ke 4 < | * w ‘ tie ee are ke rn 7 * 3 amen ae ce Sa e ee | Ls ale iol le * wt Wy 2 ” aa we a ee a aL a eR ee HE to make it possible to add the stars from time to time without disturbing the general plan. This idea has been anticipated by a private citizen, Henry Vogt, of Phila- delphia, who has designed a flag for which the thanks of the war depart- ment have been extended. Mr. Vogt would place the stars in a circle, with a keystone design in the center, leaving room for the addition of stars around the circle. Request He Couldn't Grant. One of District Attorney Jerome's chief assistants in New York has a young son who occupies almost as much of bis time as does the office business. “Just now,” said the prose- cutor, “I divide my leisure daylight be- tween the menagerie in Central park and the Bronx zoo. While I always try to grant any reasonable request, there are times when I give up. The other day he wanted a lion, and I pro- duced one Then a monkey, and I lugged him into the monkey house.

A man 80 years of age and a wom- an 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 thelr money in hav- lag a good time. Lucid, But Wrong. When the steam engine was invent- ed a learned Englishman wrote a book in which he set forth his theory that it would be impossible to propel a ves- sel across the ocean by steam power. The writing was lucid, the reasoning was correct, but the premises were wrong, and the first volume of this ex sellent. work that came to America was brought over in a steamboat, thereby demonstrating that one fact may carry away @ volume of theory. How the Judge Viewed It. Even a judge on the bench likes his joke. A man whose name is Waters was arraigned in Bilville court on a charge of assault and battery. “What did you do to him,” asked the judge, to make him assault you?” “We wuz at dinner,” was the reply, “an’ we got into a dispute, an’ all I did wuz to hit him ‘side the head with a corndodger, an’ a week arterward he come back an’ beat me shameful!” “Well,” said the judge, “you know what the Scrip. ture says: ‘Bread cast upon the wa- ters will return to you after many days!’”—Atlanta Constitution. An Object Lesson. “Miranda,” seid the mistress, “you are a good cook, and I just know that you are too good for us to keep. Some man will come along one of these days and induce you to marry him.” “Oh, no, mum,” answered Miranda, fervent ly. “I’ve lived with you and your ‘us- band too long to want ever to get married.” There are two conclusions to be drawn from the reply of the faithful servant; one is that she was loyal to her employers, the other is as it may be.—Chicago Evening Post. Savage Sense of Humor. Lecturing on New Guinea, A. H. Dunning said he once offered a native some smelling salts. After going through extraordinary contortions the native went away, returning soon with another native whom he compelled to make acquaintance with the salts. The two brought a third, and so on until the whole village had been victimiz- ed. The savages watched each new suf- ferer with the keenest delight and took good care not to let him know what fate awaited him. Japanese School Appliances. South China is being covered with Japanese educational appliances spec- fally adapted for Chinese use—school books, maps, globes, anatomical and other charts—all helping to rescue the people from their ignorance. Every school teaches physical and military drill. In every town of any size, and often in villages, there are now schools with foreign fittings for teach- {ng western learning. Captured a Prize. Rollis—“Mr. Allmoney {s all smiles.” Molly—“Yes. He has captured a grid- fron heroine.” Rollis—“A gridiron beroine?” Molly—“Yes; a college girl who really knows how to broil a beef- steak.”—Judge. Disorder Makes Trouble. It is astonishing kow all of us are generally curshered up with the thou- sand and one hindrances and duties which are not such, but which, never- theles, wind us about with their spider thread and fetter the movement of our wings. It 1s the lack of order which makes us slaves; the confusion of to-day discounts the freedom of to morrow. H Milllonaires of Yucatan.

Danes county, Wis., and in 1895 was elected to the superior court bench. He has decided many important cases, among others the dispute between Chicago and its tractfon companies. In that case he held that the city had the right to regulate street car fares, and that the companies were obliged to grant universal transfers from one line to any of the others for a single fare. He is an acknowledged authority on banking and real estate law. He has been president of the Chicago Bar association and of the Chicago Law institute, and attorney for the west park board and the town of Cicero. He is just 70 years of age, but is a well-preserved man with a military bearing. INDIAN PEACE MEDAL. One of Seven Presented by President Madison to Chiefs. Kansas City, Mo.—Nearly 100 years ago—1809 it was—James Madison, fourth president of the United States, made a treaty with seven Indian tribes that dwelt northwest of the Ohio river, in the heart of the wilderness. To each of the chiefs of these tribes, including the Delawares, the Pottawatomies and the Miami clans, the Great Father in Washington sent a token of the compact signed between them. The offering of the chief executive was a heavy silver medal, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. of fine workmanship, bearing on one side a raised bust of the president and on the other a design of a pair of clasped hands, beneath the crossed pipes of the white man and the red man—emblems of everlasting peace and friendship. The medals were worn with much pride, doubtless, by the seven warriors so signally honored, then handed to succeeding generations and finally were mislaid or lost. So far as is JAMES MADISON PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.D. 1809 Obverse Side of Madison Indian Peace Medal. known only one has ever been heard from by the United States government since that time. It is owned by a Rosedale, Kan., man, Corwin S. Curtis, proprietor of a woodworking factory and machine shop at 1718 Kansas City Avenue, in that city. Mr. Curtis has taken his medal to the national mint in Philadelphia and compared it with the bronze original there. "The superintendent of the mint told me the medal is genuine and that it is the only one of the seven even returned there," said Mr. Curtis a few days ago. "I have had the medal since 1868 and have refused to part with it for $1,000." The medal in his possession is nearly three inches in diameter and is one-eighth of an inch in thickness. Explained at Last. "Why do they have a banking business connected with that large department store?" "They put the money out at interest while the customers wait for change."-Reader. By-Product of Match Factory. One match factory on the Pacific coast, covers 240 acres and operates over 30 miles of railroad, over which is carried to it daily 200,000 feet of sugar pine and yellow pine logs for the match machines. Inferior lumber will not do. It must be straight-grained and free from knots and carefully treated in addition. The by-product goes into larger things. This factory turns out as by-product a thousand doors and 800 window sashes daily. There is a pretty bit of history in the name of that vehicle, the facre. St. Flacre was an Irishman of noble birth who went over to France in the seventh century and lived as a hermit in a forest near Meaux. His popularity became very great in the France of later centuries. When Sauvage started public hackney coaches in Paris in 1640 he found the most tenvenient center for them to be an inn in the Rue St. Martin, named Hôtel St. Flacre and adorned with an innage of the saint.

I found Silverton somewhat disturbed on account of recent "closing order." Some of the citizens said it would be some little time till business assumed normal conditions by readjustments. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant gave me hospitable treatment. Held a good service on Sunday night, March 22. On Monday night a very nice reception was tendered Miss Selina Jackson, recently employed at the Wickinson hospital as trained nurse. Reception held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Palmer. The program was good. A missionary society was organized with Mrs. A. J. Bryant, president; Miss S. Jackson, secretary. Mrs. W. J. Palmer, treasurer. The people of this mountain town are wide awake. We found Mrs. Nora Wright on the sick list in Durango, but she was getting better. Held service in church on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Mr. F.

A good active man would keep busy preaching for Silverton and Durango people. --- TERMS. J. W. SANDERS. SHALL THE RACE TRY LYNCH LAW ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? 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. Disappointed Friendship. In the matter of friendship, I have observed that disappointments arises chiefly, not from liking our friends too well, or thinking of them too highly, but rather from an over-estimate of their liking for an opinion of us; and that if we guard ourselves with sufficient scrupulousness of care from error in that direction, and can be content and even happy to give more affection than we receive, we may manage to go through life with consistency and constancy, unembittered by that misanthropy which springs from revulsions of feeling. — Charlotte Bronte. Methods to Prevent Breakdown. Very heavy are the burdens of some of the high officers in Great Britain, and leaders have been driven to curious methods to prevent breakdown. When Robert Lowe was chancellor of the exchequer he laid down 90 feet of asphalt and got himself a pair of roller skates. That was his method of mastering a liver and the fatigues of office. Earl Spencer, when in Ireland, during the darkest days of his office, found riding fast and far one thing to relieve his spirits of gloom Gladstone cut down the trees and translated the classics; Lord Randolph Churchill went racing. Before and After. Impatient Husband (at foot of stair way)—For heaven's sake, Maria, how much longer is it going to take you to get ready? I've been waiting 40 minutes for you. His Wife (upstairs)—Before we were married, John, you used to say you would be willing to wait 40 years for me if necessary. (Impatient husband mutters something under his breath to the effect that he has more sense now than he had then, but makes no audible rejoinder.) Battles in the Blood. An interesting record of what may be called the battles that occur is 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 Best Substitute Possible. An emu was one of the features of Baron's Court, the Irish residence of the duke of Abercorn. His grace was much interested, and on leaving for London one day, left instructions that he was to be informed of its welfare. Soon afterward the duke received a letter from the man left in charge giving the important fact that the emu had laid an egg. "And," continued the writer, "we have placed the egg in the absence of your grace, under the biggest goose in Baron's Court." Environment for Scientists. Generally speaking, it may be safe, put that mastership in any of the sciences is usually won by the man whom birth has placed in an environment in every way conducive to the development of a scientific career. Seldom is it that a genius, with neither ancestry nor training to favor him, springs up to startle the world with a scientific discovery, as in literature or in other arts more closely allied to science. SUCCESSFUL NEGRO MANUFACTURER 4 The Fundamentals of a Successful Negro Manufacturer—Within a Few Years Mr. Haynes Has Become "Famous" as a Razor Strop Manufacturer—Special Sales on His Strop in Leading New York Department Stores; Also Used by Some of the Royal Families of Europe—Opens a New Place on Broadway. Special to the Statesman: When a business grows from a small work shop in a dingy basement to a manufacturing plant requiring a THE NEW YORK TIMES large number of skilled workmen and from an output of a few razor strops a day to a volume of a thousand a day. Such business has written the history, has solved the problem, has worked out the policies, has employed the methods that make for success. Can these methods be reduced to certain factors which may b called the constant of manufacturing success? The primary elements of profitable business. Just as the assayer determines the elements composing the alloy, so analysis can determine the factors, personal and material, that compound business success. Organization and exactness of method have contributed to lift business to the plane of science. Pres- --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ent day business system has established that every cause has its immutable effect; that every result is rooted logically in its certain cause. Answer to these questions therefore lies in the analytical study of a typical business that has attained well-grounded success. And, as every success invariably has behind it one foremost human personality—which accomplishes—we take pride in calling our many readers' attention to the well known manufacturer, Mr. H. C. Haynes, the Razor Strop Genius. Mr. THE NEW YORK TIMES Haynes was for a number of years the head of the H. C. Haynes Razor Strop Co., of Chicago, Ill., which was founded by him and is yet in existence at 60 Wabash avenue, Chicago Mr. Haynes disposed of his interest as Chicago January 15th, 1907. Moving to New York he launched a company known as the New York Razor Strop company, at 134 William street, which he is president and treasurer. The company did a very large business during the past season. It is said that their business amounted to more than seventeen thousand dollars. The new place to be opened April 1st at No. 335 Broadway, to be known at The "Haynes" Razor Strop Comanpy will be devoted only to mail order --- business, making a specialty of only one strop and razor. The strop is Mr. Haynes' latest creation in strop manufacturing. Every good feature which experience and judgment could suggest to make a practical ready-for-use razor strop has been incorporated in this strop. All the leading New York department stores has been running special sales on the strop for the past two months, and it has met with considerable favor. From an abscure basement work shop in Chicago a few years ago, to an establishment on Broadway, having attained the distinction as one of the leading concerns of its kind in the country, have pursued parallel paths to success. Mr. Haynes has made a life study of the business of which he is connected. He has been wrestling with the problem for many years, to produce a ready-for-use razor strop that could be successfully used immediately after purchase. His "Superior" brand, which is his latest creation, is universally conceded to be the most practical razor strop among all modern attempts at strop making, being highly endorsed by Francis Haby, who for many years was the private barber to the Kaiser, the Emperor of Germany. Mr. Haynes practical knowledge of the process which which to carry his strop through gradually, gave to his strops advantage over that of competitors. He knew just what kind of leather would yield best results. As Mr. Haynes has always been a disciple of the "waste not" creed, he has believed in economy in the problem of production. H aimed always to reduce waste of material and the waste of labor to the minimum. At the outset he made himself a master of detail. Adherence to this course constantly has allowed the instituting of economies and the securing of greater results. This rule of economy has kept the working force up to the chalk-line to that standard where every pound of effort has yielded full results. P. S.—All those wishing one of Mr. Haynes' great strops and razor will please note his advertisement, which will appear in the next issue of this paper. LITTLE FOLKS CONCERT AND TABLEAU. At Campbell A.

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. A COLORADO BOY'S SUCCESS AT COLLEGE.
