MASONS TO BUILD HALL TWENTIETH YEAR MASONS B Monday night was the flood tide of enthusiasm in Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons, it being the practical wind up of the rally that has been in progress to clear up the property they own at 22nd and Arapahoe streets. Less than three years ago this corner was purchased at a price of $3,831, the initial payment being $1,101, and the balance to be paid in five years. By almost superhuman efforts, the lodge exceeded the required yearly payments and owed a balance of nearly $850 at the first of this year. To raise this amount there was begun a rally, and Monday night was the culminating of it. Besides the actual cash raised that night, amounting to $440, there was $190 pledged for payment April 20, which together with more than $300 already raised on the rally, carries the total receipts far beyond the amount needed. With the wiping out of the mortgage, which will be done some time next week ,the board of trustees of the lodge will plan the erection of a Masonic hall with accommodations for merchants and other societies. The building of the interburban street car line, the extension of Broadway, together wit hthe advantages of being on a corner within five blocks of the new postoffice, make this a valuable property, easily worth $5,000 at this time. Improvements will be made on it to the amount of at least $5,000. This will be the first hall owned by a colored lodge in this western country, built for the purpose. It will be fitted with accommodations for two societies to meet on one night, the best of ventilating apparatus, ante rooms, etc., --- with five stores below, four of which will face on 22nd street. The trustees hope to make the building large enough to furnish quarters for a Y. M. C. A. On the fittings of the hall that will be used by the Masonic lodge, they are expending considerable thought and plan to make it unique in this whole trans-Mississippi region. The whole paraphernalia and furniture peculiar to the craft will be installed, this it in alone running up into hundreds of dollars. The growth of Rocky Mountain Lodge in resources has been phenomenal. Though one of the oldest in the West, it has been recent years that have put it on a firm footing. In numbers also it has grown. Ninety members, numbering a large percentage of tax-payers, are on the rolls, with others applying for membership, so that it seems probable the membership will exceed one hundred before this Masonic year expires. The board of trustees of the lodge are F. T. Bruce, chairman; W. H. Finley, T. S. Rector, J. R. Contee and Wm. Sprague, the last two being treasurer and secretary of the lodge. The one has served seven years and the other twelve and are the two men to whose credit much of the advancement of the lodge is due. JUVENILE BAND The Juvenile Band of the People's Presbyterian church will give a rally Sunday, April 12 at 2:30, and they ask the people to help them in this rally and if you want to hear them play come to the church Easter morning and night. They will serve free lunch.

M. C. A.; the encouraging of our young people to take full advantage of the educational facilities of the state; the teaching of Denver Negroes to patronize their own merchants and artisans; and a dozen others, the settlement of which are essential to our progress, that are being neglected by the Alliance. On the other hand, every possible occasion for the exciting of race feeling, and the advancement of radical ideas is seized upon. In other words, the propositions that mean the least to Negroes of Denver take precedence over the vital questions. For instance, it seems to be of more moment that a committee of 'prominent' men shine in the daily press as the sponsor for resolutions, than that capital be invited to build sanitary homes for us to live in. If the Alliance is to be the organization that represents the brains and energy of the race here, it must do constructive work for the race. It must find matters to get together upon rather than those upon which we separate. The public can forgive it for being socialistic, democratic, radical, or anything, if it will only do something. But when talk, useless talk, is the forerunner of gossip and mendacity, it is too much. In the name of decency, in the name of a poor blind race that suffers grievously at the hands of the whites, let it rise from the miasma of petty politics and be indeed a forum for the colored people, a leader in our efforts to create greatness for ourselves in the intricacies of Continued on Page Eight AT COLLEGE 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.

It is astonishing how all of us are generally cumbered up with the thousand and one hindrances and duties which are not such, but which, nevertheles, wind us about with their spider thread and fetter the movement of our wings. It is the lack of order which makes us slaves; the confusion of to-day discounts the freedom of tomorrow. Millionaires of Yucatan. The wealth of the mines of Mexico is proverbial, yet there are nearly as many millionaires in Merida, the capital of Yucatan, a state with practically no mineral resources, as there are in all Mexico combined. Henequin, or sisal hemp, as it is sometimes known, has made Merida, and its people rich. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 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." 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. These 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 $2,000 to $50,000 only.

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

The special fea- tures of the program were the mando- lin solo, by Miss Onea White; paper, by Wayman Ward, who completely charmed the house; the yocal solo by R, E, Handy was rendered in an ad- mirable way as to pronouncingly show the sweetness of his baritone voice; select reading, by Miss Anna Barbee, was given an expression that was sur- prising to the audience, while the ‘Prophecy,’ by Miss Adella Parker, was mystifying and amusing, and com- pletely thrilled the house.

A reporter recently took a journey of considerable length for the purpose of interviewing a rising literary light as to his next novel. On reaching the house he discovered the author seated in his garden engaged in earnest conversation with a little boy who had a large towel pinned around his neck. The author received his visitor cordially, but seemed rather absent-minded. "Are you willing to tell me a little about your next important work?" asked the reporter. The literary man clicked a pair of shears and patted the boy on the shoulder. "We were just talking about it as you came up," he said. "Willie thinks I ought to do it with a bowl, but I think I can do it without. What would you advise? You see his mother has always cut it before, but she's away just now!" Motor Lifebcats. In place of 14 strong arms, pulling seven oars, with another pair at the steering oar, now a four-cylinder, four-cycle gasoline engine pushes the craft along at ten miles an hour. A solid 18-inch propeller, with a reversing clutch, propels the 34-foot boat. Two gasoline tanks, one with a capacity of 25, the other with 75 gallons of the colorless fluid in which is locked up so much effort, admits, according to Popular Mechanics, a radius of 200 miles. Something to Regret. "Are you happier now that you own your own home?" asked the solicitous friend. "Of course," answered Mr. Meekton, "there is a proud satisfaction in having my own place. But occasionally I can't help longing for the time when my wife kicked to the landlord for repairs instead of coming to me." A Cruel Deception. "So your fiancee deceived you?" "Yes; she told me her father was a dealer in stocks." "Isn't he?" "Ob yes; he makes these dinky little wom en's collars." 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 in- priate, either.

Wade has been called from labor to reward. Death came to him from heart disease last Saturday morning and the funeral services were from the church of his many years of active Christian work, Shorter, Monday afternoon. The auditorium was well filled with sympathetic friends and floral offerings in profuse quantity bespoke their grief at the parting. Rev. Ward preached the eulogy, speaking feelingly of the life works of the deceased. The members of his class, No. 5, and the People's Sunday Alliance were officially represented and read suitable resolutions at the funeral. Interment was at Fairmont under the direction of the Lawhorn company of undertakers. The widow, Mrs. Mary Wade, is one of the faithful workers in Shorter church, being especially identified The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. with the Sunday school. She has borne up with Christian fortitude under the trial but feels keenly the loss of her mate for rthese many years. Mr. Wade has for the greater part of his residence here been employed in the Boyd Park Jewelry Company, being trusted to the highest degree. In the organizations that tend to the uplift of the community he has been a consistent worker and has filled several positions of honor such as vice president of the Alliance. In Shorter church fo ryeears he was church clerk and in all that he did, he conducted himself with such simplicity of conduct and rectitude of life that a good word is spoken for him by all from those most intimately connected down to mere acquaintances. Besides his deportment as a citizen, he was an author who won the praise of press and people for some melodramatic sketches produced in 1892 and later on one just after the Spanish American war. At the time of his death he was 54 years of age. For several years he was the reporter for this paper from Shorter church and though this connection ceased long since, his death comes to us in a very personal way. May he sleep sweetly as he lived kindly. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. A temple of Ladies' Auxiliary to the Elks has been formed by the authority of Grand Deputy Frazier. GRAND EXHIBITION.

Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, Me., has an old gun, which was used in the battle of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago. Many who fought on the American side on the 17th of June afterward went to Maine to settle, among them Billy Smith, a private in the Second New Hampshire regiment. Mr. Smith, the great-grandfather of Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, settled in Cornville in 1790, and his grave is in the orchard on a farm near where his grandson, Clark E. Smith, now lives. The musket which Billy Smith carried at Bunker Hill was among his effects brought to Cornville, and on his death passed into the hands of his son, David, and was by him bequeathed to his grandson, Sylvester Smith. A few years ago, when Sylvester left for the west, he gave the famous old musket to Sylvester Smith of Skodhegan, who now treasures it as a family heirloom. One remark made by Billy Smith in relating his experiences at Bunker Hill has been handed down to his descendants, to the effect that he felt some repugnance at first in shooting at the redcoats as they came up the slope, but after the first few shots he could as easily take aim at a British officer as he could at a partridge. The gun itself is in working order, barring the loss of the flint, and could be easily re-equipped for actual use. One of the reasons why "collecting appeals to so many persons, of such different temperament and position, is undoubtedly the element of chance in it—the possibility of coming unexpectedly upon some great treasure. 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 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. New Cure for Drunkards.

Colored Preacher's Experience Had Taught Him to Prefer Cash. A northern minister, who was spending the winter in the south for the benefit of his health and at the same time pursuing with accustomed vigor the work of his church among the whites of the Piedmont section of upper Carolina, devoted much of his spare time to the study of conditions among the colored people. It was in a prosperous rural community, where the two races are about numerically equal, that this incident occurred. One morning while driving along the public road the minister met a negro preacher of the neighborhood, of whom he had seen but little, but whose confidence he had apparently already won. The negro was what is commonly called a "locus" preacher. The conversation, at first varied with comments upon the little things of common interest, naturally drifted to the subject of religion. "Now, tell me something of your work," asked the minister. "Do you take notes for your sermons?" "Wa-al, no," admitted the brother in black cautiously. "I useter be guilty of dat, fo' a fact, but Ise refawmed by 'sperience. Since I come to know dese niggers at dere rale wuth, I 'quires de cash. Notes is no good roun' heah."—Baltimore American. MARK TWAIN AS A FINANCIER. Humorist Earned $3 in Transaction, and Then Was Bunkoed. Mark Twain blossomed out with a new dog's tale at the weekly banquet of the Pleiades club at the Lafayette Brevoort. The theme of the humorist was: "How It Pays to Be Honest—When It Doesn't Hurt Yourself." He said he was starving with a chap named Davis, in Washington, in the latter '60s, and Davis told Twain to go out and rummage for $3 for Scotch whisky, while he'd stay home. Twain said he walked into a hotel and came on the prettiest dog he had ever seen in the lobby. Gen. Nelson A. Miles came in with three months' salary. Miles saw Twain fondling the dog, and offered Twain $10 for the animal. "I haven't any right to sell this dog for $10," answered the humorist, "but if you'll give me $3 you can take the pup away." Miles paid the $3 and took it away. The real owner rushed in. "I'll find your dog for $3," said Twain. The owner agreed. Twain walked upstairs, told Miles the situation, and got the dog back by paying $3, then received $3 for restoring it to the owner. He took three quarts back home to Davis, who drank it all and ignored Twain.—New York Sun. A Diamond In the Dark. It is said that some diamonds will shine by their own light when placed in a dark room. Prof. Crookes, of London, says that when diamonds are placed in a vacuum and exposed to a current of electricity, they shine with different colored lights. He has seen them emit bright blue, pale blue, apricot, red, yellowish-green, pale green and orange rays. One beautiful green diamond in his possession, when phosphorescing in a good vacuum, gave almost as much light as a candle. The light was pale green. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Denver, Colo TO THE PAGE 4 Artist Tyler, the Famous Pianist, and Cameron C. White, Washington's Distinguished Violinist, to Be at Shorter the 24th Inst.—All musical Bodies to Be Present. Some time ago a notice appeared in this paper pertaining to a great treat that would not only be given the I. G. A., but to all the intellectuals and music lovers of this community. Quietly but energetically have the committee been working trying to secure the best available talent at the most reasonable price and finally to the great surprise and extreme delight and satisfaction of all, they secured Mr. Tyler the famous piano artist of Kansas City for the 24th of this month. Clarence Cameron White, whose reputation as the leading virtuoso of color of this country, has been secured for this event. Mr. White of Washington, D. C., performs at Topeka and Kansas City, Mo., and has hitherto appeared before crowded houses. N. G. Walker,'te president of the I. G. A., has been assured the co-operation of all the musical clubs, choirs and other organizations of this city, and the I. G. A.'s first musical carnival will be a red hot success in spirit, finance and intellectuality. When we consider that Mr. Clarence C. White was compelled to cancel an engagement in the east to be present with us, when we know that Mr. Tyler is a professor of music in the Kansas City high schools, we can with much certainty predict that these two young great musicians will make standing room be at a premium in Shorter. 'Tis seldom that our great artists will visit the far west, especially after they have appeared in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York with such brilliant lights as Mme. Hackley, Florence Batson, etc. J. W. JACKSON MET PROMINENT PEOPLE. After a trip that included Washington, Philadelphia and New York, J. W. Jackson has returned to the city.

PAGE 0 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.

B. her husband is the foremost fighting figure in this country to-day. Her great-grandfather was Capt. Daniel Morgan of revolutionary fame Mrs. Evans' maiden name was Charlotte Taylor. She was the sister of Evans' chum, and the sweetheart of his boyhood days. They were married in 1871. While their home is in Washington, owing to Mrs. Evans' wishes, they have lived much of their time at their cottage on the government reserve just outside the sea front at Fort Munroe. Mrs. Evans is a woman of culture and mistress of many accomplishments, not the least of which is playing hostess with charming grace. She was born and reared in Washington in an atmosphere which fostered her inherent patriotism, a patriotism which prompted her to say to her only son, whom he chose the naval life, "God speed you. May you be as brave a sailor as your father." Probably no woman in the world is so plentifully supplied with war-like relatives, and she glories in them all. Mrs. Evans' father for years was the proprietor of a book store on Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington, a scholarly man, a lover of books and a keen student of human nature. He purchased the first bond issued by the government in connection with the civil war, and this bond, appropriately framed, is one of the dearest possessions of Mrs. Evans.

Rome.—The majority of the lower classes in Rome do most of their mar- keting and shopping in the streets, ard this custom accounts for the large number of peddlers, hucksters and itinerant venders who crowd the city. These street merchants are divided into two classes, those who cater to the foreigner and sell mosaics, old coins and fragments of marble of dubious authenticity, flowers, bits of brocade, shawls of Roman silk, picture post cards and even alleged Turkish carpets, and the others, who are more numerous and whose wares are for the exclusive use of the native house- holder. To the latter class, for in- stance, belongs the buscolinaro, or seller of dried pumpkin seeds, which are greatly relished by the Romans, who are in the habit of eating them during the long waits between the acts in the theaters and in the public parks while the band plays, as well as in the wine shops, where their sale is encouraged by the host, who knows full well their thirst increasing prop- erty. The origin of the custom Is said to date back to classic times, when Pumpkin seeds were sold during the Sladiatorial games in the Circus Max- Imus and Coliseum. A frequent sight in the strecis of Rome !s that of men, and very often boys, with strings of plaited onions and garlic slung over their shoulders, who cry their wares with the full force of southern lungs. They come from Naples and the Abruzzi, and if you question them they assure you that they are selling the produce of thelr own Jittle farms. But no genuine Roman will believe such a statement, as the conviction prevails, based probably on the cheap- ness of the price, that the onions and garlic sold tn the streets of Rome have been purioined Bring B Your Easter rograms || By Sa fags” C i eae | Pek EARLY PAGE 7.

The silvering of the glass by applying a layer of tinfoil alloyed with mercury involves so much risk of poisoning, the work people constantly breathing the mercury vapor, that numerous at- tempts have been made to use an- other metal for the purpose. It was shown by Liebig that a fine adherent deposit of metallic silver could be applied to glass by reducing @ solution of a silver salt with milk sugar, so this method has been em- ployed as a commercial process. There have been partly successful attempts to get a like deposit of copper. The mirror often lacks brilliance and {s usually disfigured -with stains. But {t has been found by one F. D. Chattaway of England that solutions of copper salts can produce brilliant reddish films of metallic copper which are as perfect reflectors as silver mir- rors. His method of coating glass with a layer of copper, it is thought, will probably be used extensively in making mirrors and other glassware articles. Phone Main 2275 TWO JIMS’ aa.

Little Instrument May Be Said to Be Invaluable. It {s an excellent substitute for a paper cutter. It will pierce a cigar or clean a pipe. As a Duttonhook, either for boots or gloves, it is invaluable. In Meu of its sharper sister, the pin, seaside trippers have been known to find it convenient for extracting the winkle from its shell. In extremities {t 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.

It has suffered from the activities of politicians enough to have learned better than longer link itself to that body of death. The presence of republican or democrat, in any position of authority, so long as he is white, is of less real consequence than the opening of one new avenue of employment for us. Of what avail are all these loud mouthed denunciations of the places of vice in this city, when the leading Negroes have no time to find means of employing the idle? Consumption and ignorance are worse enemies of the Negro than Roosevelt and Tillman. It would seem that with so great possibilities, the persons to whom the Alliance is the entry to public notice, would be race-loving enough to submerge their private ends, or at least take the public into partnership. However that may be, it is certain that the Alliance owes an apology to the people it claims to represent for its outrageous stewardship as evidenced by last Sunday's meeting. In asking that the Alliance vacate, the deacons of Zion Baptist church have shown what the public thinks of its vagaries, and only the future can tell whether the good members of the Alliance will rule or the dreamers and wranglers ruin. There have been strong rumors of the change of waiters at the Albany hotel, substituting colored for white. Now comes the remarkable strike of the white waiters at the Bryan banquet in an endeavor to have the union monopolize all that work for union men.

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.

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.
