Amusements and the Church Twentieth Year Amusemen and t (A paper read before the Denver District Conference and Sunday School Convention, A. M. E. Church). The subject is one of grave interest to the church and society in general. The discipline of the A. M. E. church has always required its members and probationers to refrain from such diversions as cannot be carried on in the name of the Lord Jesus, and also from singing those songs or reading those books which do not tend to the knowledge or love of God. This evil is not peculiar to any clime or age; they change with the times. The fashionable follies of fifty years ago are now held in derision and wonder, just as the follies of our day will be laughed at fifty years hence. The advocates of worldliness and frivolities are always at work inventing questionable pleasures and ingenious arguments for their defense. If the A. M. E. church will only maintain the strict moral and deep spirituality which it has hitherto aimed to hold, we will be in the hand of God an instrument of unlimited power for good. But if, on the other hand, we become weak in our belief and lax in our discipline, and become members of a fashionable and frivolous church, we shall lose the position we now hold among the churches of the Lord Jesus Christ, and God will raise up another people to take our place and crown. The advocates of popular amusements are becoming bold and insiduous, and they are using the pulpit, the press and the so-called Christian associations to propogate their views. They tell us now that these amusements are a necessity for the health of soul and body, but we believe that they are harmful to both soul and body. All the recreation that any plous, sensible person needs is provided in the variety of his duties. If the minister needs recreation let him turn from the severe study of theology to biography, poetry or rhetoric. Does he need still greater change? Let him take up geology, history or astronomy. --- Does he need physical as well as mental change? Let him find it in his pastoral duties, in visiting the sick room and collecting the children together for instruction, and in looking after the general interest of his church, attending to the interests of his family. Surely here is a vast field in which he can find rest and recreation both for soul and body, and grow wiser and better all the while. Does the layman of the church need rest and recreation as a relief from his labors or cares as they come upon him daily? Let him find it in gardening, cultivating flowers, in reading, in Christian activity, in domestic business, in social visiting, in attending instructive lectures and devotional meetings. These are rational, spiritual and satisfying enjoyments. None but the weak, who think more of conformity to the world than of conformity to Christ, will hanker after anything else. Recreation is a good thing. Let the children play, but not without limit, not to the neglect of their studies nor to the neglect of the little labor that they can perform about the home; nor should they be allowed to transgress the divine law or associate with those who will teach them corrupt language and evil deeds. Let the children play, let them leap and shout, let them have they play toys and pets. Don't be afraid of the sun nor the winds of heaven that may ripen their cheeks like ripe peaches. Let the middle life and old age, too, have recreation; it is not unbecoming that all classes of individuals have recreation. There are social enjoyments and recreations which brighten the passing moments of both young and old and leave no shadows behind them. Every intelligent Christian must be as conscientious in his recreations or play as he is in his work. The question of amusements for Christians is one of the great problems of the day. But as a church we cannot afford to come down to the level to which the popular world in- Continued on Page 12 Rowdyism is Condemned GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. Some of the citizens in Grand Junction had the following piece inserted in the papers, as they thought it a necessary and wise step. That the respectable colored element of Grand Junction deplores street fights and brawls among members of their race and wishes to cooperate with the authorities in any way possible to see that such undesirable Negroes are kept out of the city, was shown at a recent meeting held in this city at which the following set of resolutions was adopted: "Whereas, For the last few years quite a number of undesirable colored characters have come in our city; lawless, lazy and worthless; and by their infraction of the law and boisterous conduct have strained the good citizenship that has long existed irrespective of race or nationality in our city; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, Negro citizens of Grand Junction do now bind ourselves together to co-operate and to act in conjunction with the police of our city in driving out and keeping out such undesirable characters.

WILL TAYLOR. Prop., 911 Eighteenth street PAPER FOR VARIOUS ROOM&. Wall Decorations to Add to the Cenlness of the Home. Light but not bright should be the guiding note when selecting the papers with which to decorate the walls of your home. Where there is light there is always a cheerfulness which nothing else can produce, but brightness of colors sooner or later will affect the nerves. Where the rooms are small a small figured paper should be chosen, as this will make the rooms appear larger, and vice versa with the rooms which appear too large. Here are a few suggestions: For the vestibule, a grove-like effect; for the halls, plain felt paper or tapestry design; for the bedrooms, a flowered design, with lighter or a darker body according to the amount of light admitted to a room. For the parlor a quite decorative design, chosen with judgment to match furniture; for sitting room and dining room, arbor or orchard effects are effective and becoming; bathroom, kitchen and laundry are best painted. One paper should not be placed over another, as disease germs breed there easily, and the thickness causes the paper to fall from the walls. RECIPE FROM NEW ENGLAND. Salt Codfish Dinner a Great Delicacy of That Section. As served at one of New York's most noted hostelries the following arrangement that has codfish as a foundation is well worth sampling and passing on. The fish itself, to begin with, is of the best quality, thick and delicate. This is boiled on a fish tray or in a cloth, then taken up and placed in the center of a hot platter. Over it is poured a generous quantity of rich white sauce into which the riced yolk of a hard boiled egg has been stirred. A little fine minced parsley is now sprinkled over the fish and sauce, while around the edge of the platter are ranged slices of boiled beets, boiled carrots, two or three small boiled onions and small boiled potatoes. A sauceboat passed with the service of fish contains finely diced fat salt pork with some of its own fat. Tiny pickles accompany the dish also. It goes without saying that the dish should be served very hot. Fig Preserves. Take the figs when nearly ripe and cut across the top in the form of a cross. Cover with strong salted water and let stand three days, changing the water every day. At the end of this time cover with fresh water, adding a few grape or fig leaves to color, and cook until quite green. Then put again in cold water, changing twice daily, and leave three days longer. Add a pound granulated sugar to each pound figs, cook a few moments, take from the fire and set aside two days. Add more sugar to make sweet, with sliced and boiled lemon or ginger root to flavor, and cook until tender and thick. Do Not Knead Bread. Many people do not make their own bread because they cannot knead it properly, not knowing that a superior quality of bread can be made without this labor. Mix your sponge in the usual way and when it rises stir in with a wire fork enough flour to roll. First flour the bowl and dip your chopping knife into flour; chop the bread sponge by drawing the knife through THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. it, but do not pound it, adding more flour as needed. When it has been cut so that pieces are about a half inch square put together smoothly enough for each loaf and put into pans to rise for baking. For Rough Irons. Often the irons will become either rough or rusty and it is most annoying to try to iron with them. To a flat board nail a long strip of sandpaper and use this for smoothing the irons on, if you find that the beeswax does not accomplish this. If the sandpaper is not convenient, sprinkle a little salt on a folded newspaper and rub the irons on this. Then wipe them with a cloth and finally rub with the wax. Ironing will be a pleasure if the irons are treated in this manner. Keeps Varnish Polished. One housekeeper who is successful in keeping her furniture in polish washes the varnished wood frames twice a year with potato water and then rubs them dry and bright with woolen cloths. The piano receives the same treatment. The potato water is prepared by soaking uncooked potatoes sliced thin in cold water for two or three hours and then straining the water. Baby's Robe. I had constant trouble in keeping the laprobe up well around my baby while she rode in her buggy and tried this scheme: Near the top edge of the robe about four inches either side of the center I tacked a tape long enough to tie easily around baby's waist. I tie these tapes after she sits down in her buggy and I have no more trouble with the robe slipping down. Strawberries and Lettuce. Make cups of the white heart leaves of crisp lettuce by crossing the stem ends. Pile a few big red strawberries in the center of each cup, and dust with powdered sugar. Put a teaspoonful of mayonnaise dressing on a leaf of each cup. When Glue Gets Dry. When glue gets too dry and hard to use, pour in a little vinegar, and in a day or two it will be as good as new. This can be done over and over as it dries.—National Magazine. COLORED HOTEL Mrs. H. Clay, Prop.

If we yield to them, we sacrifice our principles and peace; if they yield to us, they lose nothing but a little temporary pleasure. To make our subject practical as possible, we will name a few viewpoints from which we may consider our amusements. First, they should be innocent in themselves. The word recreate means to renew, restore, create again. It is to lay aside the more serious avocations of life for a brief space, that we may resume them with new vigor; we rest that we may be the better prepared to work. Recreation in the true sense of the term is not only free from evil, but it is full of good intentions; it is true we shake off care but not conscience. If our recreation tends to violate the divine law or lead us to disregard the welfare of our fellowman, or cause us to punish man, beast, bird, or insect, or if it tends to make us frivolous or reckless, or in any way lead us farther from God and make us less devotional, we should turn away from it. Our recreations should never interfere with the full and faithful performance of the sober duties of life. Many believe that the periods of childhood and youth is the time play and be ready for the more serious duties of life at mature age. But not so; it is the hour of precious opportunities, which comes but once in a life time; it is the foundation upon which the whole future edifice is to rest. Youth has its work and all future excellences are dependent upon industry. In youth the avocation is to be chosen; the mind is to be cultivated, the reason exercised, the fancy curbed, the temper subdued, and the whole intellect disciplined and prepared for continuous labor. He has not a moment to lose. He must look and listen, read and remember and gather strength for other days to come. He that would be wise must not dream away the golden hours in empty visions of what he would like to be; but rouse himself and prepare to encounter the great duties before him. Our recreations must promote health. Dr. Crane says that health is the material of which efficient life is made. They who destroy it, cut short the days that God gave them. And to do so willfully and deliberately in the chase after more pleasure is no small sin. Our recreations should not lessen our powers to do good; they are designed to sharpen the tools with which we work, and if the process which we adopt mars the blades, it shows that our methods are bad. Our recreations should not be unduly expensive. Money is power. It may be used to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. It may be employed to teach the ignorant and reclaim those that wander. It plays an important part in all good works, and he that squanders money throws away the ability to do good. We must beware therefore, lest our self-indulgence tax our pocket book too heavily, and not leave enough for good deeds. Our recreations should never lose sight of time. Time is one of God's most precious gifts to man. It is the field in which our destinies germinate and the summer in which things grow. We have no more right to lay plans to kill time than to kill ourselves. Parents should see to it that their children very early form the habits of industry. Our recreations ought to improve the mind as well as the body. In these large cities we are more or less contaminated with the theater-goer, dancer, whist and high-five parties. The theater has its advocates. It is said to be a good place to learn history, human nature, and some of the plays are said to be as good as a sermon. Granting this to be true, we wonder how often these plays come around and how many people do they save? If these plays are as good as sermons, how happens it that as a rule those who love the play never care for the church? If these plays are as good as sermons, where is the evidences of its call to the good work? How many have found salvation at the theater? Does it adorn the character and conduct of the performers? No. Then since we cannot find the converts even upon the stage in two thousand years we must look elsewhere for converts. Where is the proof of its moral and religious influences? It has no existence. To plead for the theater on the ground of its moral influence is to act a bigger farce than was ever put upon the stage. When a young man that has been religiously trained starts to attending theaters, he has taken his first step downward, and his friends lose hope in his future usefulness. But on the other hand, when a young man becomes reckless and goes to these places of amusements and suddenly stops and begins to attend church, his friends have hope of him. Vile and disreputable people attend the theater, but shun the church, is the experience of 90 per cent. of all observers. Build a theater where you will and straightway drinking saloons and gambling dens will come up around it., and flourish under its shadow. All manner of vice and rascallity grows rank and green in the polluted soil of a theater. Some years ago in a certain city, the proprietor of a theater resolved to conduct it on a more respectable basis, and he refused to admit the vile and infamous as far as practicable, and no lady was allowed to enter without she had company. It was but a short time until the house went down and the manager could not pay running expenses, and was compelled to close its doors or open it to the cattle that herd in the gallery. It is plain to all who want to see, that the theater thrives by the vice and crime of the community. It is a buzzard that lives on carrion. A successful theater must be on good terms with the grog shop. More than that, the manager knows that his performances must be adapted to the low moral level of the audience, that is gathered up from certain quarters. He knows that he must address himself to empty minds and cater to animal passions. As the calculations of an almanac are made for the particular latitude where it is expected to be used, so are the appliances of the theater carefully adapted to that class of society which are low both in intelligence and in morals. Attempts have been made to reform the theater, but they have miserably failed. The theater will never be reformed. Last, but by no means the least destructive to Christian character, is the dance. The advocates of the dance want us to make a distinction between the fashionable dances of the times. But quadrilles and that high class of dancing and two-steps differ from the German and round dances as veriloid differs from smallpox. Dancing is a detriment to both soul and body. The late hours it involves, the associates, the kind of refreshments generally used, the undue excitement, the atmosphere in which they gather, the sudden exit from the heated room to the sudden cool air, are all objections to the dance. Dancing has a bad historic name. It is true that the Bible speaks of Miraim and her maidens dancing when Pharoah and his host sank into the depths of the sea and singing to the Lord a lofty anthem of praise, and of David when he brought home the Ark of God how he danced; but this was all a religious dance or ceremony, nothing like our capering of to-day. The daughter of Herodious danced before Herod as he sat at the banquet bewildered with wine, but the death of John soon followed. In Rome and Athens dancing was always done by the degraded and vile. Dancing is generally regarded as a favorite amusement of the vain and frivolous. And strange to say that 90 per cent. of all of the dancing church members invariably stay away from the class and prayer meeting, and stranger still that whenever a sinner is convinced of sin and wants prayer, he never sends for one of the dancing church members. Those who give themselves up to this amusement turn away from the best examples of pure devotion and undefiled religion. Young people who are famed as beautiful dancers are generally good for nothing else. Their time is generally taken up with practicing posture-making before the mirror or some professor of the art. The dancing master is the Devil's drill master. Just as the theater is the Devil's church. Space forbids us to speak and comment upon card playing, chess, billiards, novels and novel-reading, but those are the things that are taking the very life blood out of our church. With these facts, arguments, appeals and testimonies, we leave the subject to the solemn consideration of our hearers, believing that the position which we take as a church is rational, scriptural and safe.

BRANCH LAUNDRY OFFICE. FORT COLLINS, COLO. Miss Melvina Younger, Miss Myrtle Taylor and Mr. Wm. Clay were fishing at the G. & T. ranch last Wednesday. Miss Jessie Clay is planning a trip to Chicago very soon. Miss Molly Williams rode out a horse back to the ranch last week and was accompanied back by Mr. Thompson, after spending an enjoyable afternoon riding around viewing the country. Mr. Ford has given up his position at the Linden hotel and has gone to Denver for the summer. Mr. Wm. Crews of Denver has accepted a position with Mr. Hackley in his shop. Miss Odie Taylor was a visitor at the home of Miss Mamie Edwards last Thursday. Mr. Gus Green is a little under the weather at present but is still seen at his office. Last Sunday was the formal opening of Lindenmeler Lake, and couples who took advantage of the occasion were Miss Melvina Younger and Mr. J. C. Thompson, Miss Myrtle Taylor and Mr. Wm. Clay and Miss Jessie Clay and Mr. Charles Cannon. The band concert and boat riding were enjoyed very much. In the evening all repaired to the home of Mr. Gus Green, where a dainty luncheon was served by Miss Lillian Clay, during which the phonograph was played. Mr. Green is noted for the choiceness of his pieces. After luncheon Miss Molly Williams played a few selecties on the piano. Last Monday evening Mr. "D. D." Green of the Southern Quartette, "flowed" in on us by surprise. Mr. "D. D." is no stranger to Fort Collins and of course was received with open arms. At present he is enjoying the hospitality of Miss Jessie Clay. At 9 o'clock sharp the gathering of a party surprised Mr. "D. D." At 10 o'clock a Dutch lunch was served, after which dancing was indulged in until an early hour. The mixed quartet, consisting of Jessie Clay, Molly Williams, Claude Thompson and Mr. "D. D." executed some fine vocal work. Ladies, we teach hairdressing, manicuring and massage. For particulars apply at Moler System of Colleges, 1229 17th st., Denver, Colo. THE DEMAND FOR AN EDUCATED MINISTRY. Realizing the demand among the negro people for an educated ministry, The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licentiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday School teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. to implant in the hearts of those who attend an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises, designed to install habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy, are provided. The teaching is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year, the enrollment in the Bible Training School has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc., is $8.50 per month. The entrance fee is $7.00, to be paid in cash by each student when he registers. Students will be given the opportunity to work out much of the $8.50, in some cases all of it. Lack of means should not keep anyone from entering the Bible School. If the student is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information, address: Tuskegee Institute. Alabama. Leap in the Dark. The celebrated Thomas Hobbes is reported to have said on his death bed (1697), "Now, I am about to take my last voyage—a great leap in the dark." Hobbes in all probability got his idea from Rabelais, who, when dying (in 1553) exclaimed: "I am going to the Great Perhaps." Clean Up. A young lady of marriageable age stopped the boss on the street yesterday to give him a local. While she talked he took a mental inventory of her make-up and discovered that her teeth were totally unacquainted with any such thing as a brush, her ears and neck were streaked with grime and her finger nails and hands were positively filthy. She was well dressed, but looked slouchy. Poor girl! She is a regular heart-breaker among the boys and devotes lots of her attention to them. She runs around the streets whenever her job will permit her to and she poses as one of a "set." But how nice she would be if she would only wash up. There are many other girls like her, too many, in fact. If there is any of God's creatures that should be clean it is a girl and it seems too bad that some of them haven't got the time to take a scrub.—Manson (Ia.) Democrat. Left His Skin. "A snake story without a snake is a new kind," says the Freeport (O.) Press. "The other day while Emmett Hukil was wandering through the woods on the old Willoughby farm he found the skin of a rattle snake over six feet long with two rows of rattles still attached. The skin was intact from head to tail. It will be advisable for people in that section to keep a sharp eye out for the big rattler that once filled the hide found by Mr. Hukil."

In the annual report made by the superintendent of prisons of New York is the suggestion that some percentage of the money earned by criminals be used by the state to support the families of these criminals who may, by the imprisonment of their heads, be rendered destitute. Such a suggestion is good and practical. The punishment of the bread-winner is apt to bring want upon the family, but if a systematized distribution of the money is made in this manner one of the problems met with in dealing with the criminal classes will be effectively solved. According to the president of Princeton university only ten per cent. of the American people think. But he may be wrong. It must be remembered that he has been making his observations in the vicinity of the city whose inhabitants suppose the Pacific ocean lies just beyond the Jersey hills. After all, the opinion that $300 a day is not an exorbitant price for a physician to place upon his skill is open to discussion, especially in the one case cited, when the patient died. There are few of us who will so highly appreciate the opportunity of dying even with the most skillful medical assistance. A lot of the unemployed in Connecticut insist that they are hungry for work. That is a kind of hunger which should yield readily to treatment. If they could get the effects of work in some other way possibly they might be happy and well fed without suffering from their intense longing of the present time. The trip of the battleship fleet around South America will do good in two ways: The people of the South American republics will get some idea of the sea power of the United States, and the people of the United States will learn something about the South American republics. We appreciate the efforts of the actresses who are kissing against time to elevate the stage and inject true realism into art; nevertheless we have always been told that it is quality more than quantity which counts in a kiss. A Long Island man named Darling is receiving congratulations upon the advent of his twenty-seventh child. Naturally, Mr. Roosevelt will be deeledighted over this crop of little darlings. A Pennsylvania ball team has signed a girl as a first baseman. Those who have seats in the bleachers behind first base should take the precaution to wear masks when she is about to throw to third. We are not going to disparage the merry widow hat. But it should not be equipped with an edge like a circular saw. Much as it would please many to see China tie Japan in a bow knot, there is no chance that it can happen. GEO. A.

Clear Tomato Perhaps the Most Popular of All—Cream of Sweet Potato Soup a Popular Southern Delicacy. Clear Tomato Soup.—Add a pint of water to a can of tomatoes and place in a saucepan. Cut into dice one carrot, one onion, one turnip and one white potato; put two ounces of butter in the frying pan. Add the prepared vegetables and toss about until slightly browned, then stir them into the hot tomatoes, adding a stalk of celery or a quarter of a teaspoonful of celery seed, and boil 45 minutes. Remove from the fire and strain. Season with a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of white pepper, and then stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Serve in bouillon cups with toasted crackers. Creole Vegetable Soup.—Wash and cut into thin slices half a dozen good sized okras. Place them in a saucepan with a pint of stewed tomatoes and one thinly sliced onion. Cover the whole with two quarts of cold water and simmer for two hours. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of butter. When the butter is dissolved stir in a tablespoonful of mushroom catsup and one tablespoonful of chopped green sweet pickles. Serve with triangles of toasted bread. Puree of Lima Beans.—Cook one can of lima beans in a pint of salted water, adding a tablespoon of grated onion, a bay leaf, a blade of mace, and three whole cloves. When reduced to a pulp press through a fine sieve. Return to the fire and stir in two coffee cupfuls of milk and season with half a spoonful of salt and dash of cayenne. Thicken with one tablespoon of butter and one of flour rubbed to a paste, letting it just reach the boiling point, to cook the flour. Serve at once with tiny crescents of fried bread. Cream of Sweet Potato Soup.—This southern delicacy is made by peeling four sweet potatoes, covering with boiling water, and cooking five minutes, after which they should be drained and the water thrown away. Then cover them with one pint of boiling water, adding a slice of onion, a stalk of chopped celery, a bay leaf, and a pinch of thyme. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; then press them through a colander. Add one quart of milk and turn into the double boiler; rub together two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour; add to the soup and cook until smooth; season with a teaspoon of salt and a dash of cayenne and strain through a fine sieve. Reheat and stir in two tablespoonfuls of thick cream. To Clean Lettuce. When cleaning lettuce one often finds that each leaf is covered with a lot of tiny green bugs which it seems impossible to remove. It is a great time saver to wash the lettuce in cold water first to remove it of dirt, and then take water as hot as you can bear the hands in and place each leaf of lettuce in the water and shake it around in the water several times. You will find that the bugs will loosen their hold on the lettuce and will remain in the water. If the watter becomes cool add some more hot water, as the hot water is a great deal more THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. effective than cold. After the bugs are all off the lettuce replace it in cold water for a short time to renew the crispness. NO SPORT.

COLORADO PAGE 2. Many kindred of George Washington dwell on and about the original Washington plantation in Westmoreland county, Virginia. John Washington of Brighton parish, Northamptonshire, England, came to Virginia in 1657 and bought a farm on the Potomac river between Bridge creek and Pope's creek, in what was then Northumberland county, but which long, long ago became Westmoreland county. He bought the farm from Col. Pope, a great landholder in the early colonial era, and whose daughter, Anne Pope, became the wife of the immigrant John Washington. These were the great grandparents of George Washington the Great. John Washington, through his marriage to Anne Pope, obtained lands outside of the farm purchased by him. The original farm is owned by John E. Wilson, who married Miss Betty Washington, granddaughter of William Augustine Washington, a nephew of George Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are advanced in years. A score or more of Washington live on their ancestral lands within rifle shot of the spot where George Washington was born. Some of these people, writes Guy E. Mitchell in Technical World Magazine, are prosperous farmers and professional men; others are not prosperous. They are all plain and simple folk who have the good will and respect of their neighbors. A peculiar thing about this family is that all its members have the distinctive Washington features. It is well not to make faces at or slighting remarks about persons who look the part of foreigners. They may be subjects of governments that are touchy. Calling one of the least of these a harsh name or biffing him lightly on the ear may bring on international complications. Some of the governments that pay no attention to their subjects when at home unless they organize bread riots or ask in low, polite voices for universal suffrage, get mighty touchy when the subject has left them for a country that he thinks he will like better. Then his liberty and pursuit of happiness cause much tender solicitude. They may step on him at home, but over here they want his rights protected in three languages. Tears well up in the eyes of gentlemen whose breasts look like pawnshop windows by reason of their display of medals, while secretly they wish we were so small that they could lick us. However, there may be more method in their solicitude than would appear to a person up a tree. If their wandering boy doesn't get a good job how can he continue to send money to the old folks and thus help to keep down the poor rates? Half a dozen business men of Brattleboro, Vt., have acquired tracts of cheap pasture land in that vicinity, and are setting out pine tree seedlings by the thousand. They are not asking what posterity has done for them, but are preparing the way for a crop of pine timber 35 or 40 years hence which will prove a handsome legacy for children or grandchildren.

Quay of Cleveland that criminals be used for vivisection is encouraging. Dr. Quay himself states that his idea is a little in advance of the time, and we are to be congratulated, says the Baltimore American, upon having some good, old-fashioned humane people yet with us. A French aeronaut is building an airship with a capacity for 100 passengers, and he intends as soon as the thing is finished to go into the regular public carrying business. Before we forget it we wish to warn him that overcrowding for the mere sake of a little extra revenue is reprehensible. "The Curse of Cleverness" is the title of an article in an English magazine. Only the lack of humor of an Englishman would instigate anyone to pose as an authority upon such a subject. An English scientist has announced that insects blush. It is encouraging to learn that the mosquito and the housefly may have some sense of shame. If the Texas man who swears that he saw two angels flying over the state recently had only had a gun, perhaps he might have got a first-rate servant girl. brave and strong man may endure a dozen failures, while a weak man cannot survive a great success. If it is worked much longer the time will come when there will be a strong temptation to skip the leap year joke. Certainly he would be a cruel doctor who would discover that shoveling snow was healthful exercise. Proverbs are the pearls of wisdom. Within the last few weeks The Statesman has sent notices to many of its out-of-town subscribers of their indebtedness. A recent order of the Post Office Department, regulating the matter admissable to second-class mail privileges, compels all newspapers to keep its subscription lists paid up. Many have responded to our letters, and the few who have not done so will please do so at once. It is essential that we conform to the postal regulations and we can easily do so with the co-operation of our patrons. Let each one who received a letter from us make acknowledgment of it today. DO IT NOW LEST YOU FOR- We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature. Other contributors get economical and write their news on such small pieces of paper that they become lost among the larger sheets on which such matter is usually written. It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers. Don't cuss the editor.

"Miss," or "Mrs.?" A number of unmarried English women, who have reached an age about which it would be ungenerous to inquire too closely, have been complaining in the papers of the rule that all married women shall be called "Mrs.," and all unmarried women "Miss," no matter what their ages may be. They point out the fact that a boy, who is "Master" in his early life, becomes "Mr." by the mere lapse of time, whether he marries or not; but that a girl who begins as "Miss," continues to be "Miss" until she marries. This was not always the case, as the curious may discover by looking up the history of "Miss," "Mrs." and "Mistress." The English women maintain that the title by which they are called, as spinsters, is not conducive to the deference which is accorded to married women, and which they demand for themselves. The remedy they propose—that all women be called "Mrs." after reaching the age of 40—would be of doubtful efficacy. Men would go on calling their women acquaintances "Miss" until they received what the newspapers call "official" notice that the age limit was passed. The old "darky" woman stated a fact of general application, says Youth's Companion, when she said that the happiest person is an old maid "when she has quit struggling'." The woman who cares whether she is called "Miss" or "Mrs.," when her hair is turning, is still "strugglin'." The state department of agriculture has taken a step which may help to solve the problem of adjusting the matter of labor for farms and at the same time put dwellers in the city in the way of acquiring knowledge and health, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times. The department has issued a bulletin asking for volunteers from boys and girls in high schools who wish employment during the summer vacation. The boys are to have farm work of a character suited to their capacity, such as aiding in the planting and gathering of crops and helping the farmers in other ways, all of which will tend to lighten the labor of the agriculturist and also give the boys valuable insight into farm life. The girls for the most part are expected to serve as clerks and stenographers and to do light duty about summer resorts, although probably there will be no objection to letting those so disposed act as helps to rural housewives. That the idea is not wholly repellent to the youthful element is shown by the fact that there are already over 2,500 applications from high school boys of New York city alone, the young fellows being desirous of engaging in the occupations suggested. Who knows but the high school boy of the present will be the successful farmer of the future? Score another for that invincible weapon of offense and defense, the hatpin. In the hands of a woman entirely courageous and skillful the hatpin puts the boldest criminal to ignominious flight. One of the greatest victories recorded is that of a woman who, with a hatpin in each hand, withstood four highwaymen who undertook to hold her up and rob her THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. the men seized the lady roughly by the arm, whereupon she dislodged the hatpins and put them into vigorous action. Although so largely outnumbered, her defense was most successful. The hatpins played with such lightning-like celerity that each of the assailants received at least one jab, and one man had several perforations. Three of the miscreants finally found safety by running away, but the fourth was held and lodged in the police station, with a charge of assault preferred against him by the plucky wielder of the hatpin. If such an act does not entitle the victor to a medal for heroism, remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times, what is the use of providing for such recognition? "Fine old Spanish emeralds" is a phrase which means something quite different from what it seems to imply. There never was an emerald mined in Spain, but after the conquest of Peru the conquerors brought home great quantities of loot, of which emeralds formed an important part. In this way the finest emeralds came into possession of the old Spanish families, and as very few had been seen in Europe previous to that time, all the best stones soon became classed as fine old Spanish emeralds. To-day the expression still applies to the best emeralds of any source. Those Ohio brothers are not having airship experiments all to themselves. Prof. Alexander Graham Bell of telephone fame is an ardent believer in the possibilities of aerial navigation, and the other day made a successful trip in a flying machine at Hammondsport. At this rate trips through the air may come to supersede automobiling and motor-boating in popularity. ```markdown ``` Denver Barber Supply Company ∑ is the best place for good Razors, Shears, Pocket Knives, Combe Brushes, Pomades and all toilet arti- cles at 1008 15TH STREET 'Phone 862 Black Established More than a Quarter of a Century.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Bryan is a Typical Democrat In reply to a question as to his opinion on the disfranchisement laws of Southern states, William Jennings Bryan in his Cooper Union speech, made just after his return from his trip abroad, said: "But this is only calling your attention to the fact that the man who asked the question—if he is a black man voting the Republican ticket,or a white Republican—he cannot in justice ask it. But I will answer it frankly and tell you that the white man in the South puts on that qualification as a matter of self-protection and that there is not a Republican community in the North that would not put it on when necessary. The man who says that the people of the North have any different idea of this subject from the people of the South is lacking in frankness with himself or he assumes what would not be true. The white race in the North and in the South will not permit a few men to take the solid black vote and use it as personal property for the making of money regardless of the welfare of the community, and that was done in the South. THE SOUTH IS GIVING THE BLACK MAN BETTER LAW THAN THE BLACK MAN WOULD GIVE THE WHITE MAN IN THE SOUTH IF THE BLACK MAN MADE THE LAW." In these word the probable standard bearer of Democracy delivers himself on the race question. Not content with an apology for the outrageous evasion of the plain letter and spirit of the law by Southern states, in his closing words he goes further and makes an inference that is false. He can not be ignorant of the fact that in many states immediately after the reconstruction, not only did Negroes make laws and administer them for the white people of their respective states, but this very fact constituted the one argument made for shot-gun disfranchisement in early days, since replaced by constitutional restriction upon our voting. Yet notwithstanding this fact, not a single instance of legal persecution does he advance in support of his plea that the action of the Southern whites is justifiable retaliation. So long as the mere cry of Negro domination, a ghost that has been laid there twenty years, suffices to maintain the Democratic party in the South and serves to cover up its record of official incompetence, the pitiful intelligence of Democratic leaders will not search for other reason for existence for their party. On the other hand, the statutes of the Southern states are black with laws aimed at the personal liberty and the prosperity of Negroes. Under the guise of labor laws, we dare not emigrate even to better our condition. We are the prey of unfriendly courts without redress. Life is a plaything and property a misnomer where either does not please a white man. We are confident that Bryan will be his party's nominee. Any man who believed in justice and right, and did not stoop to fortify himself with expediency, would not fairly represent Democracy. High class men who are above petty appeals to class and race prejudices, cannot come to the surface in that mongrel mass of discontents. Cleveland was a man without a party throughout his administrations and even now the grass upon his grave withers with the curses of his mean-spirited partisans. From free silver to mob law under the guise of an anti-injunction plank, Bryan has meandered in search of the presidency. But at no time has he deserted the original plank of Democracy that the Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held its fifth annual session in Pueblo, Colo., June 17-18. In many respects this was the most successful meeting in the history of the Federation. There were 65 delegates enrolled and in attendance at each session, except where prevented by illness occasioned by the change of water. Several new clubs joined, among them the Searchlight of Cheyenne, Wyo., which invited the Federation to meet with them next year. The president, Mrs. M. L. Spratlin, made it a point to call and dismiss each session promptly at the stated time, and much credit is due her for the improvement over previous years. Not even the excitement incident upon the election of officers and delegates to the national convention was allowed to infringe upon this rule. There was a decided improvement in the art work. By the exhibit many of the clubs showed that they had work for their chief aim and all reported themselves in a good condition financially. To the needle work was added hand painted china and burnt wood work, and it is to be hoped next year to have something from the kitchen. The program was up to its usual high standard. The papers by Mrs. B. Lennox of La Junta and Miss Myrtle Tompkins of Colorado Springs, and the music by Mrs. Brown of Colorado Springs, Mesdames Turley and Faulkner of Denver, deserve especial mention. At the close of Thursday evening's session the newly elected president, Mrs. Lizzie Mary Froman, made the following appointments. Chairmans of Departments of State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs: Music—Mrs. May Byrd, Denver. Business—Mrs. Anna Procter, Colorado Springs. Literature—Mrs. B. Lennox, La Junta.

On Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 7 o'clock, the ladies of the Self Improvement and Social club gave an outing at City Park complimentary to Mrs. M. L. Spratlin, the retiring president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. ELKS MAKE A HIT WITH BAND AND FIREWORKS. The picnic of the Masons at Bloomfield park Thursday night was a hummer. It rivaled in crowd the one of last year and that is to say it was a record-breaker. The weather was a little cool, but there was nothing cool about the welcome everybody received, or did it in any way keep down the enjoyment of the occasion. The hit of the evening was the Elks with their band and fireworks, out for a good time and to advertise their big doings at the same park next Wednesday night. There was music and rear old-time picnicing. Rev. Beckham united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents at 2530 Clarkson street last Thursday evening, Miss Lizzie Fort and Mr. Al. Williams. A number of friends witnessed the ceremony and left memoirs of the esteem in the way of beautiful and useful presents. The happy couple will make their home at 2530 Clarkson. They have the best wishes of a wide circle of acquaintances, among whom they are much esteemed for their usefulness and high character. News comes of the death of Mrs. Elsie West in New York. Miss Grace Battles and Miss Eva Jones will be at home at 232 East Ellsworth after July 6. Mrs. Chas. Cross has returned from a three weeks' visit with her mother in Carbondale, Ill.

Miss Jennie Hicks is home from Fisk university. She stopped over a few days in St. Louis en route home. Mrs. Freeman Betters of Salida was a visitor to the Ealy household last week.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Never mix French dressing until ready for use. The vinegar and oil will separate. Boil six peach kernels in a quart of milk to be used for custard. It will improve the flavor. Remove smoke stains from ivory by immerzing it in benzine and going over it with a brush. A good cook adds a teaspoonful of sugar to each quart of water in which corn, peas, squash, etc., are cooked. Gruel, when properly prepared, should be but little thicker than cream and should be absolutely free from lumps. Take time to put the blacking pot out of the way in its accustomed place, for thereby will a probable smutting be avoided. Cut sheets of tinfoil and place under the flower vase dollies and you will have no trouble with any dampness affecting the best polished furniture. One often hears complaints that the boiler rusts and ironmolds the clothes. To prevent this, as soon as the boiler is emptied rub well over with soap. This will not only prevent rust, it will also help to make suds for the next boiling. Removing Vase Stains. Glass flower vases are apt to become much stained in time, especially if such flowers as mignonette and forget-me-nots are left in them for a few days without changing the water. To remove the stains few methods are better than that of placing a handful of used tea leaves at the bottom of the vase with a little vinegar, and with the hand placed across the top shaking it until the marks have disappeared. If not completely eliminated, this should be repeated, while in addition a rag wound around a stick and pushed into the crevices will effectually remove the most obstinate stains.—Woman's Life. Strawberry Salad. Choose the heart leaves of head lettuce; heap a few strawberries in each, dust them lightly with powdered sugar. Put a teaspoonful of mayonnaise on each portion and serve cut lemons with them. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Solon Paterson left for Colorado Springs last week. R. B.
