Glorious Outing, Zion Sunday School and Friends Meadow Park, July 23 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JULY 11 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY Two Negro Conventions The National Negro Anti-Taft League The National Negro Anti-Taft League "Representatives of thirty-seven states at a meeting of the National Negro Anti-Taft league, at 1920 Lawrence street, yesterday drafted a memorial which was presented to the committee on resolutions, begging that the platform of the Democratic party be broad enough In its treatment of the race question to satisfy every race represented in the citizenship of the United States. "The National Negro Anti-Taft league is a consolidation of the National Negro Democratic league, the Liberty party, Niagara Movement, Negro National council and National American Political league. The appeal is signed by George E. Taylor, Iowa; J. H. P. Westbrook, Colorado; W. T. Scott, Illinois. "The league will work heart and soul for the defeat of Taft for the presidency. Following are the officers of the league: "President, J. H. Harkless, Pueblo, vice-president, W. T. Scott, Springfield, Ill.; vice-president, E. A. Manning, Indiana; secretary, George Jamison, Idaho; chairman national committee, Dr. H. C. Cress, Chicago; secretary, John J. Smith, Denver; treasurer, S. McClure, Pueblo; national organizer, H. Baker, Denver." In the foregoing words, the Rocky Mountain News of the 9th announces the birth of a new Negro organization having as its object the defeat of Wm. H. Taft, the Republican nominee for president. For several days prior to the convention, Negroes from the Mississippi valley and from the west began to arrive in the city, and Tuesday their scattered protests were crystalized into this organization at the "Negro Anti-Taft Headquarters," which were opened by the courtesy and at the expense of their sympathizers from this state. The first executive meeting of the "antis" was held Wednesday afternoon with Geo. E. Taylor of Ottumwa, Ia., presiding. In an address fiery and enthusiastic he outlined the work to be accomplished and introduced the temporary chairman, W. T. Scott, editor of a paper published at Springfield, Ill. The election of officers and appointment of national-committeemen from each state to work in harmony with the outlined purpose of the league concluded the special business of the day. We are able to state upon the authority of a prominent member of the movement that there is in writing a promise from one of the national captains of industry of ample funds to make the Negro Anti-Taft movement formidable and powerful. The presence of Dr. Cress of Chicago, who is the western representative of the Waldron,DuBois-Trotter Democratic adjunct, also of Ferguson, its secretary; Taylor, the Chicago Democratic editor, makes this seem to be the nucleus about which the opposition to the Republican party among colored people is to organize. There were many rumors of the coming of the eastern representatives of this same idea, but up to this time none have arrived. CITY NEWS Messrs. Geo. Robinson and Hannibal Brown of Aspen are among the visitors to the city during this week. The Pond Lily Art Club met in their regular monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. Clarence Williams, 320 Twenty-fourth street, and have decided to continue and not disband during the summer months. The Pond Lily Art Club will be entertained by Miss Lenora C. Wilson at the City Park Thursday, July 16th, at 3 o'clock.

Everyone was happy and the order is the recipient for many pleasures to many people. The Colorado Negro Business League The State Business League has concluded its fourth annual meeting. It met in the auditorium of Shorter church Monday and Tuesday and had three sessions daily. Persons who have attended past sessions say that in interest and enthusiasm, this session was up to the standard, but that the attendance was not so large, either of delegates or of visitors. Beginning with the address of welcome delivered by Dr. J. E. Harper of this city and closing with the address of Lawyer Stuart Tuesday evening, there was plenty of food for thought. There was discussions of papers, and suggestions of good things to be done. Among those who spoke were Mrs. Allie Whittaker of Colorado Springs, Rev. J. C. Owens of Pueblo, Mrs. H. D. Eurl of Colorado Springs, Chaplain Gadden, Lawyer Stuart and T. O. Mason of Albuquerque. O. T. Jackson of Boulder in his "Proposed Colonization Plan," gave the address of supreme importance, and it was discussed at much length and given an endorsement. The plan as finally accepted for the carrying out of the founding of a town was to secure the co-operation of fifty investors and the incorporation of the company to purchase outright the required land, and then parcel it out to homeseekers. O. Mason, of Albuquerque; O: T. Jackson, A. W. Lewis, Rev. Holmes, of Boulder; W. A. Gatewood and W. H. Hopper, of Eastonville; Geo. W. Gross, of Rocky Ford; Rev. H. Franklin Bray, of Olney; Rev. J. C. C. Owens, Dr. S. P. Douglas, Dr. S. A. Huff, O. U. Bray, H. Pierson, M. B. Brooks, of Pueblo; E. P. Booze, A. C. Battles, Mrs. A. Whittaker, Fred Roberts, Mrs. H. D. Earl, Mrs. Fleming, Rev. Johnson, Chaplain Gladden, Mrs. J. H. Braxton, Eldredge H. Lee and wife, of Colorado Springs. Among the visitors who encouraged the League by their presence and words were Mrs. Owens, of Los Angeles; Nick Chiles, of Topeka; Jasper Childress, of Topeka; Miss Brown, a Texas teacher; Miss P. Barnes, a teacher of Washington; Miss C. Barnes, of Tuskegee Institute. GUNNISON, COLO. Mr. French passed through our city Sunday on his way home to Salida.

Mrs. Hines is able to be up again after quite a severe illness. Blueberry Slump. Bring berries to a boil and sweeten to taste. Mix a dough as follows: Two cups flour, two even teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, and a little sugar. Moisten with milk or water, or both, until the consistency of dumplings, and drop into the boiling berries. Cook about 15 minutes and serve hot. Allow a teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of flour when making biscuit, dumplings, flap-jacks, etc. To Serve Tomatoes. Take small yellow tomatoes, remove skins carefully, put them in the ice chest to get cold without freezing. Make a bed of crisp, white leaves of lettuce and arrange tomatoes in uniform order on this; over all sprinkle a little parsley chopped fine. Serve with French dressing. Asparagus Fritters Make a thick sauce with one-half cup of milk, one rounding tablespoon of butter and one-quarter cup of flour. Stir in one cup of cooked asparagus tips and cool. Add one beaten egg and cook on a hot buttered griddle in small cakes. Protect Sheet Corners. To prevent sheets from tearing at the corners when hanging on the line on a windy day stitch four or five rows of machine stitching diagonally across each corner of the hem.

Misses Leona and Mary Yockum were visiting the Misses Marguerite Graves and Lavinia Stanback last week. Mr. Fred Hudgins left Saturday for Colorado Springs, where he joined his mother and accompanied here to this city. Mr. Geo. L. Craig has moved to Goldfield so he can be closer to his work. Mr. Washington Pennington was the Guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner last Tuesday. Self-Consciousness. Next to a lack of faith in the efficacy of what we can do comes the blighting dread of exposing our weakness and our littleness to others. Sad as it may be, it is yet true that many worthy souls shrink not only from their simplest, plainest duties, but their highest, noblest opportunities, from the mere dread of being laughed at—Jenkin Lloyd Jones. KILLING SOMBRERO BY Mexico is likely to tax the sombrero out of existence. The legislature of the state of Jalisco has declared it a nuisance and has decreed that the Mexican who wears it must have a license, for which he must pay, and must wear a numbered tag upon it. Without the license and the tag the wearer is subject to arrest and fine. The object of the law is to cure the peon's taste for the picturesque headgear, which, corded with gold and silver, is so expensive that the humble Mexican often works for a whole year to earn the price of one. Number of Heathens. In the world's religions those who are usually termed heathen have a larger place numerically than all the other religious divisions. Mohammedans, Buddhists, Brahmins and all other non-Christians except the Jews number together about 1,400,000,000 leaving but about 448,000,000 to be divided among the Roman Catholics, Protestants of all denominations, Armenian, Greek, and Abyssinian Catholics and Jews. True and False Friendship. Noah Webster distinguished between true and false friendship as follows: "True friendship is a noble and virtuous attachment, springing from a pure source, a respect for worth or amiable qualities. False friendship may subsist between bad men, as between thieves and pirates. This is a temporary attachment, springing from interest, and may change in a moment to enmity and rancor." A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN WHO DESIRE AN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. Many of the young men who have finished the courses in agriculture at the Tuskegee Institute are commanding salaries ranging from $50 to $100 per month. The graduates of this department of the school are successfully employed as instructors, or as managers of important agricultural operations. The school has an agricultural faculty of 20 instructors, men who have received their training in the best agricultural schools of the country. Young colored men and women who desire to take courses in practical and scientific agriculture are now offered the best opportunity to pursue such courses in one of the largest and best-equipped schools for practical and scientific agriculture to be found in the South. The following courses are offered: Dairying, three (3) years' course. Care and Management of Cattle and Stock, two (2) years' course. Poultry Raising, two (2) years' course. In addition there is a special postgraduate course of one or two years, provided for graduates of high schools and colleges. We are especially anxious to have a large number of agricultural students who have finished high school or college courses. Any young man who is ambitious enough to finish any of the courses above mentioned can readily secure immediate employment at good salaries. Opportunities are now open to 500 young men and women who may wish to take any of the above courses of instruction. The cost of board is $8.50 per month. No charge for instruction.

One-tenth of the world can't understand how the other nine-tenths live without ever getting into the society columns. Rotation Cake. One, two, three, four cake, or rotation cake, as it is sometimes called calls for the following ingredients: One cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, four eggs, 1 teaspoon soda and 1 cup sour cream. Cream the butter and sugar, beat the eggs well and add to the mixture. Beat in thoroughly half of the flour, then stir the soda into the cup of sour cream, allowing it to foam over into the mixing bowl. Beat in the rest of the flour. Meg Dod's rule of giving 200 beats to every cake the last thing before putting into the oven is an excellent one The Secret of Success. Each life should become conscious of its own individuality and responsibility, and poise itself on its own standing-ground. When a woman has learned that the center of the universe for her is where she stands, and has fully realized this idea of the central thought of being, she will comprehend that she can get no further than her own limitations, and must be controlled more or less by her own environment. To quote from Persian anthology: "Scoop thou ever so deep in river or fountain thou can's' put all the pitcher." Motte from Ruskin. "Try to get strength of heart to look yourself fairly in the face in mind as well as body. I do not doubt that the mind is a less pleasant thing to look at than the face, and for that very reason it needs more looking at; so always have two mirrors on your toilet table and see that with proper care you dress body and mind before them daily." Rather Hard on the Dog. We have broken our dog of a firmly fixed habit of sleeping upon the beds when the family were away by the following simple method: We spread an old sheet over the entire bed and lightly sprinkle it with cayenne pepper. The sheet was left on but one day, and the dog has never attempted to get on a bed since.—Good Housekeeping. Cat Adopted Woodchucka. On the same day that a litter of kittens was drowned at the home of Frank Plotts, near Inez, Pa., Mr. Plott's sons killed a woodchuck in the woods near the house and brow home from the animal's nest four young "chucks." These were offered to the mother cat, and to the surprise of the family she carried them to her bed and has since mothered them. CIGAR STORE ```markdown ``` Periodicals, Cigars, Tobacco, Cigarettes.

THE DEMAND FOR AN 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 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: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. An American Venice It is a surprising thing to know that New York city, although not known as the American Venice, contains more islands than any city but Venice, for within its boundaries are 31 separate and distinct islands, most of which, encircled by deep water, will afford unlimited shipping accommodations and dockage for the commerce of future years, to reach undreamed-of proportions, judging from past and present growth.—The "Giant City New York," National Magazine. An Infrequent Traveler. Mrs. Sylvia Merriman, who is 72 years old, took her second ride in a railroad coach the other day—her first ride she took 42 years ago. Her journey was to Ansonia, where she came to visit her niece. She had her first street car ride when, with Mrs. Amelia Thompson, aged 67 years; Mrs. Amanda Bishop, aged 66 years, and Mrs. Rose Andrews, aged 70 years, all of them relatives, she went to Cheshire, the village of her birth.—N.

"I am that," said Pat quickly. "Then could you tell me how many shirts I could get out of a yard?" asked John. "Sure," said Pat. "It depends on whose yard you get into." Consolation for Girls. Beware of the homely little girl, for she is more than likely to be the handsonest of her set when she is ready to leave school, and will no doubt remember any slights that were offered her when she was an ugly little duckling. It is seldom that the pretty child grows into a very beautiful woman, and that is no doubt the way nature evens up things. Odora of the Kitchen. At a cooking lecture in Brooklyn recently a woman in the audience, during the conference that followed the lecture, said that she had learned when boiling any vegetable of high flavor, such as cabbage or onions, to do the work in the oven. This saved the permeating of the kitchen and other parts of the house with the malodorous steam. Friendship. A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends; and that the most liberal professions of good will are very far from being the surest marks of it.—George Washington. Philippine Coal Mines. The coal supply of the Philippines has been found to be much larger than was anticipated and of a uniformly good character. It is stated that a large vein crosses the entire group of islands and it has been clearly traced in one vicinity for 25 miles. The Child's Hair. Don't plait or curl a child's hair very tightly at night. Poor and scanty tresses may very often be traced to having the hair strained back too tightly at night.

COMING CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER WITH THEIR Annual Picnic Bloomfield Park Tuesday July 21st Automobile for Automobile for Hire J. H. GANNAWAY 776 Phones Main There is considerable discussion going on in some of the eastern states as to whether it is wise to employ all the teachers of a town from the training school of the place. That this would tend to narrow the scope of the schools and put them into a rut seems to be the opinion of those opposed, while another element thinks that a town with a training school should provide for its young women in its schools and should thus provide the schools with trained teachers.

The plantain is a native of the tropics which helps to keep man's larder filled. The plantain is credited with having grown in the Garden of Eden alongside the tree from which Eve picked the apple. Its fruit is used much as are bananas and its "cabbage" is esteemed a great delicacy. This Nation of Ple Lovers.

This yearly pie crop would form a tower 13,468 miles high, would girdle the earth and weigh 803,000 tons. Even His Temperature.

Patience is not much of a virtue when it is utilized for the purpose of teaching a dog to hop on three feet. Luckily It isn't. If happiness were bought at groceries there would be more complaints than ever about short weight. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Reign of Terror. The "reign of terror" is the period between the fall of the Girondists and the overthrow of Robespierre. It lasted 420 days—from May 31, 1793, to July 27, 1794. Comfort for Workers. The Anglo-Saxon races have discovered that comfort, a high salary and limited hours of work, make a more powerful instrument of the worker. Motherly Interest. Lady of Title (to the nurse)—"They tell me my baby boy is a perfect beauty; please do let me take one look at him."—Fliegende Blaetter. Philanthropy. We can all be philanthropists; a kind word is as thankfully received as a dollar.—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Truth and Falsehood. Truth is confirmed by investigation and delay; falsehood avails itself of haste and uncertainty.—Tacitus. Girls' Strategy. A girl likes to dance so as to be too tired next day to help her mother.

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. Just look and see if you are not at fault. --- YOU ALLKNOW ME All Wool Pants to Measure.....$3.50 All Wool Suits to Measure.....$16.00 Five Hundred Styles to select from at PHONE 1461 WALTE Groceries, Vegetables, H OUR SPECIALTIES FO Established 1896 2300 ALTER EASY Vegetables, Fruits, Meats SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMIN BLES PHONE 1461 2300-2306 Larimer St. Groceries, Vegetables, Fruits, Meats, Delicatessen OUR SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMING WEEK A Fresh line of Vegetables received daily: Radishes, Potatoes, Lettuce, Onions, Cabbage, Turnips, Spinach, Tomatoes etc. We handle nothing but the best.

One might suppose that, however much the daughters of the gods might be admired, our modern women left us no cause to desire anything more of them in the way of height. Already they are stretched out to a length which has created the fear that Englishmen will soon be "nowhere" beside their elongated sisters. London Lady's Pictorial. A Subject for Oslerizing. "Yes, indeed," said Miss Oldgirl, in reciting the story of the family's terrible experience with burglars, "the wretches came to my room first and what do you think? They chloroformed me in my sleep." "I guess," remarked the unfeeling listener, "they thought you looked the part." The Elusive Thought. A little girl who was trying to tell a friend how absent-minded her grandfather was, said: "He walks around thinking about nothing, and when he remembers it he then forgets that what he thought of was something entirely different from what he wanted to remember." Valuable Old 'Cello. An old 'cello, which the owner at Mount Noorah, Victoria, sent to be repaired, was found to bear the label of Nicolo Amati and the date 1624. There was also found a record of the instrument having been repaired by Louis Dandeh of Versailles in 1781 for Louis XVI. The Mistakes of Nature. What good are these little red pieces of meat that hang down on each side of a turkey's bill? They aren't pretty, they aren't useful, and they get dirty when he's eating and all mussed up if he flights. Nature's awfully foolish, sometimes. Beauty of Sunset Peak. Sunset peak goes up like a dome 6,000 feet and when the sun sets clear and has entirely disappeared behind the mountains its reflected light rests on this topmost peak and transforms it into a minaret of gold—a heavenly light, indeed. Improving the Mind. The best way to acquire elegant English is to study the poets and best essayists and to memorize idiomatic and graceful phrases. We may store the mind with beautiful thoughts as we store our houses with lovely pictures. India Schoolboy Patriots.

E. church to have its semi-annual election and to hear from some of the visiting guests. Instead of hearing of Dr. DeFrance, his brother, a very prominent Y. M. C. A. worker of Topeka, spoke. He detailed the work very minutely, showing the pitfalls of the world and how the innocent are lured and victimized, and need of a Y. M. C. A. to recall and reclaim the young erring men. Having been the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Topeka, Kansas, his varied experiences served only to make more emphatic his statements regarding religious and Bible training. As he closed he ardently said: "Young men, study your Bibles, train your hearts and minds to develop for their own spiritual welfare, and your lives will be shining marks which you and God will be proud of." The election of officers was as follows: Dr. J. A. Harper, president; William Hill, first vice-president; 2nd, Rev. A. M. Ward; 3rd vice-president, Rev. A. E. Reynolds; secretary. Miss Irene Fife; assistant, Mrs. Leona Barbee; treasurer, A. G. Fallings, and sergeant-at-arms, Miss Annie Bobo. The following board of directors elect-ed were C. W. Buford, A. J. Fitzpatrick, Chas. D. Clem, M. Gay, Dr. W. A. Jones, R. E. Handy. The Alliance will meet at the church Sunday. An effort is being made to have some outside talent speak. Pythias Lodge No. 11, Knights of Pythias, will give an excursion Labor day. Mrs. Wade of Glenarm Place is being visited by some young lady teachers, Miss May Smith, of Topeka; Miss Haskell, Miss Watson and her niece, Miss Wade, of St. Louis.

SHORTER'S SACRED SONG SERVICE. Sacred song services are now being used by the churches to edify, inspire and impress the hearts and minds of the congregations. At Shorter's Sunday night the choir sang one of the most soul-filled and enthusiastic programs rendered this year. All the members were out and each seemed to feel the responsibility of a successful program. The audience listened and drew in the inspirations of the different musicians, which gave them a musical sermon. A very spiritual time was experienced. Gilbert Buford of Pueblo is in the city. Mrs. Richard Harris of Colorado Springs is the guest of Mrs. Richard Frazier. Miss Jennie Hicks visited Miss Ollie Gater of Colorado Springs last week.

Chaplain Gladden, than whom no one was more popular during his residence in this state, will be in the city next week and will lecture at Zion Baptist church on the "Customs and Habits of the Orient." He will speak next Tuesday evening. It is an opportunity to renew his acquaintance as well as to profit by his travels and observations. ```markdown ``` NOTICE. Denver, Colo., July 8th, 1908. To The Public: Greeting-On June the 24th, there was an article appeared in the daily papers, namely, The Republican and Denver Post. The matter stated there in was concerning the I. B. P. O. E. of W. concerning the auxiliary of the ladies' department. When I read the article in the Republican it was very much surprise to me as to where any one of the reporters of the Republican to get such a lie, as to what one side of the Elks should say regarding the ladies' connection. It is an understood fact that every Elk owes allegiance and obedience, within the bounds of his obligations, to the parent body of the grand lodge I. B. P. O. of W. For a perfect realization of our fervent wishes and fond anticipations of growth and augmented fraternal strength, the statement made by some fresh white reporter concerning the ladies is absolutely false. Prof. Albert Ross, wife and family, will spend two weeks in Colorado this summer, beginning July 20th. Prof. Ross will visit the larger cities in the quest of more students for Western University next year, while Mrs. Ross will visit her mother and home in Colorado Springs. W. H. Scott and A. E. Manning, editor of weekly newspapers in Springfield, Ill., and Indianapolls, respectively, are visitors. The big excursion of the year will be that of Zion, and it will take place July 23 to Meadow Park, up on the Burlington route on the St. Vrain river. It is 48 miles from Denver, a nice ride and fine fishing and plenty of fun at the end. Sports of all kinds. Prizes to the winner. Dinner served on the grounds. Good music.

Childress and wife of Topeka are now making Denver their home. The presence in the city of Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean and founder Mehany Medical College, often called the father of Negro doctors, Wednesday, en route to Boulder with his wife, called forth a gathering at Dr. Westbrook's office unique in the history of the state. There were Dr. Westbrook, Dr. Harper, dentist; Dr. Faulkner, Dr. S. P. Douglas and Dr. S. A. Huff, of Pueblo; Dr. Allen, pharmacist, all graduates of Meharry. The absentees who live in this state being only Dr. Grant, of Colorado Springs; Dr. De Frantz, of Pueblo; Dr. McClain, of Denver. This was truly a tribute to the man who has made this great school for the race. ```markdown ``` Saturday afternoon at 2557 Clarkson street there happened one of the daintiest birthday parties yet given by children. The house was beautifully adorned with red, white and blue draperies and having green crepe paper as its background. All the vited guests of the age of Thelma were gowned in white, each wearing a cream colored rose as an emblem of their youth and gayety. Many beautiful presents were received. The children had a lovely time, some declaring it the best they ever had. In the evening a second party was given to the friends of the family. William Johnson, Miss Virgie Webster and many other young people spent the Fourth and Sunday in Colorado Springs. Mrs. J. C. Branche of Kansas City, Kan., is now at the Groves ranch, Manitou.

The Building Laborers of Union No. 1 marched to Zion Baptist church last Sunday afternoon in a body and had their annual sermon preached by Rev. A. E. Reynolds, the pastor. They were headed by a band and soon there was assembled at the church a vast concourse of their friend. A collection of $50 for the various departments of the church was taken. B.

Proper Treatment of What May Be Called Minor Accidents. When a fishhook is caught in the flesh, if it be embedded beyond the barb, no attempt should be made to withdraw it, but the point should be moved forward until it emerges from the skin, when it may be cut off by means of a file or pair of pliers, and the balance of the hook withdrawn; or the line may be detached, the eye cut off and the whole hook pushed through the tissues. If a crochet-hook has been thrust into the flesh-a not uncommon accident-no attempt should be made to withdraw it directly, but a large knitting-needle or darning-needle should be introduced alongside of it and placed against the hook, when both may be drawn out together without inflicting further injury. Punctured wounds should be treated by means of hot fomentations, of poultices of compresses of topid water. Torn or contused wounds heal much more slowly than cut or punctured wounds. Torn wounds should be thoroughly cleansed and the injured parts drawn together by means of adhesive plasters and bandages. Care must be taken not to employ too strong compression. Either water dressing or lint saturated with sweet oil containing ten drops of carbolic acid to the ounce may be employed. If the parts have been badly bruised, hot fomentations should be applied. Heat is essential in cases in which considerable portions of tissues have been nearly severed from the body, but have retained a sufficient amount of attachment to justify the attempt to secure union. For contused wounds, carbolated vaseline spread on pieces of thin cloth, constitutes an excellent dressing. If there be a disposition of the injured part to become gangrenous or to slough, the parts should be kept immersed in water as hot as can be borne for a time, or treated with fomentations.

A Swiss couple have recently married after a courtship of 45 years. They became engaged in their teens, but the young man vowed to make $50,000 before asking the young lady to marry him. While he was accumulating this amount in America nearly 3,000 love letters passed. Her Half. "Now that we are married," he said, "we are one, and I must insist that this be the last time that you appear in a low-necked gown." "We may be one," she responded with asperity, "but you are only half of us, and I shall dress my half as I please." Young's Magazine. Characteristics of Cities. Every great city has its characteristics. Americans' most lasting impression of London are the 'buses and the fog. Everyone who returns from Paris talks of the "life of the boulevards." Brussels has its lace, Rome its ruins and Moscow its—beggars. Safe Rule for Mothers. An educator said "Let us live with our children," and if you provide them with innocent surroundings and music, books and sports to use as they choose they will be as happy as larks and absorb the good influences of their environment. Incorruptible Conscience. The hardest of all ordeals for an honest man is to stand arraigned at the bar of his own conscience. He knows more than the keenest counsel, the most vindictive enemy could urge for a verdict of guilty.—Steuart. Literary Note. "Hi, there!" cried the small boy, "there's the goat chawin' up yer poem that blowed out the winder!" "Yes," said the poet, "I observe him. The outside world is hungry for my work!" Atlanta Constitution. Virtue's Mark. Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful. Every heroic act is also decent and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.—Ralph Waldo Emerson. Cure for Nosebleed. If tobacco smoke is blown up a child's nose it will cure nose bleed. Have some man who smokes a clay pipe fill his mouth with smoke and blow gently up the nose. Books the Records of the Ages. But the images of men's wits and knowledges remain in books, exempted from the wrong of time, and capable of perpetual renovation.—Bacon. Disposition That Wins Friends. A change of heart is necessary to accomplish a change of disposition. An obliging person always wins friends. Gives Early Prediction of Frost. A French invention, consisting of bulb thermometers, predicts at sun-down whether there will be a frost. Not There is the Source. The man who gets his optimism out of a bottle might as well continue to look on the dark side THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Cunning has only private selfish aims, and sticks at nothing which may make them succeed. Discretion has large and extended views, and, like a well-formed eye, commands a whole horizon; cunning is a king of shortsightedness, that discovers the minute objects which are near at hand, but is not able to discern things at a distance. Discretion, the more it is discovered, gives a greater authority to the person who possesses it.—Joseph Addison. "Lead Wool" for Pipe Joints. Hitherto it has been customary to make the joints for gas and water pipes by first introducing strands of hemp yarn into the socket, then filling the space left with molten lead and afterward calking the latter. A more modern way is now provided by means of what is known as "lead wool." The lead wool consists of fine threads of virgin lead, cut by special machinery in such a manner that it will weld together when calked. This Is the Sugar Age. Our national sugar bowl now holds approximately 6,000,000,000 pounds and the contents thereof cost us not far from $300,000,000 a year. The size of the bowl and our individual extraction from it increase steadily. We eat more candy, more jellies and more preserves, and where the cook books of earlier days prescribed "one cup molasses" the books of to-day call for sugar. Success Attainment of Ambition. Success is the attainment of laudable desires, and the successful man is he who faithfully performs his duty towards himself and all the world besides, and by doing so confers happiness upon himself in the knowledge that he is fulfilling his divine mission here in the hope of an eternal reward hereafter ∑ Is the best place for good Razors, Shears, Pocket Knives, Combs, Brushes, Pomades and all toilet articles at ```markdown ``` Established More than a Quarter of a Century.

SINCE 1930 4 years ago my hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head. 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." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M.

At Nice two travelers arrive at a hotel and having ordered a double-bedded chamber go out to take a stroll. When they return to the hotel the fair chambermaid lights them to their door, and, with a bewitching courtesy, says: "Here is your double-bedded room, gentlemen. One of the beds is occupied by two other guests, so you will have to sleep together. Goodnight." Ten O'Clock Lines. Certain old boundary lines agreed upon in treaties with the Indians are known as "ten o'clock lines," because they were laid out with the aid of the sun's shadow falling from a given object at ten o'clock in the morning. The line was always an extension of the line of the shadow at that hour. There is a line in Indiana bearing the above title. For Inflammatory Rheumatism. Use one pint of tanners' oil, one pint spirits of turpentine, one ounce of oil of spike, put in a stone jug and shake together; then add one ounce of vitriol one drop at a time and shake between every drop. Rub the inflamed parts at least half an hour. Bandage warmly with flannel. His True Vocation. "You are wasting your time painting pictures." "But I sell my pictures," protested the artist. "And that convinces me that you can sell anything. Such being the case, why not take up life insurance, or steel bridges, or something with big money in it?"—Home Herald. To Save Plumbing Bills. With a long-handled button hook cleanse the outlet of bath tubs and wash stands at least once a week, as the accumulation of lint and hair in time gives work to the plumbers. Hair combings should never be put in any receptacle requiring flushing. Milk in English Hospitals The crying need of the infant for clean milk is realized by all who have to deal with infantile alliments. Yet even our children's hospitals are by no means perfect in the steps they take to insure such a supply.—London Hospital. Bride's Playthings Burned. The burning of the bride's playthings is part of the wedding ceremony in Japan. The bride lights a torch, which she hands to the bridegroom, who with it lights a fire in which the toys are destroyed. Uncle Eben on Talk. "A man likes to hear hisself talk so well," said Uncle Eben, "dat mos' conversation looks Jes' like two people impatiently waitin' deir turns to say sumpin'."—Washington Star. A Defense. "Most of the airs people put on about the benefits of foreign travel are all a bluff." "Yes. But you've got to travel yourself in order to be able to call the bluff." Problem is Solved. "How shall we keep the young men in the small towns?" asks a western college president. Very easy, professor; keep the girls there. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Man's Mission as a Citizen. Some have said that it is not the business of private men to meddle with government—a bold and dishonest saying, which is fit to come from no mouth but that of a tyrant or a slave. To say that private men have nothing to do with government is to say that private men have nothing to do with their own happiness or misery; that people ought not to concern themselves whether they be naked or clothed, fed or starved, deceived or instructed, protected or destroyed. Cato, the Elder. Clearly Complimentary. A writer whose Christmas money perhaps ran short, and who is obviously trying to comfort himself with the thought that "her" birthday is yet to come, remarks that "the one kind of gift always acceptable to a woman is something, anything, in cut glass." It is a wise saying, and one to be explained on the principle that like attracts like. She, like cut glass, reveals new beauties the longer one studies her.—Elsinore Press. Luxury. I know it is more agreeable to walk upon carpets than to lie upon dungeon floors; I know it is pleasant to have all the comforts and luxuries of civilization, but he who cares only for these things is worth no more than a butterfly, contented and thoughtless upon a morning flower; and who ever thought of rearing a tombstone to a last summer's butterfly?—Henry Ward Beecher. 1859 The Cynic. The cynic puts all human actions into only two classes; openly bad and secretly bad. All virtue, and generosity, and disinterestedness are merely the appearance of good, but selfish at the bottom. He holds that no man does a good thing except for profit. The effect of his conversation upon your feelings is to chill and sear them; to send you away sour and morose.—Beecher. Officials Forced to "Graft." There is one peculiarity about Holland's system of colonial government. The resident officials are paid the most ridiculously small salaries in the world. In Borneo, for instance, the governor is paid not more than $900 a year and on this he must live in the state befitting an officer of the crown. Obviously such official must "graft" or starve, and they do not starve. A Word from Josh Wise. "A woman with a love, of a hat gainrally has a love of a husband." The Only Noble Born. Seneca: No man is nobler born than another, unless he is born with better abilities and more amiable disposition. Flooring a Blowhard. If a person tells a notorious and improbable lie, the best way is to match it with one still bigger. Satisfaction is Stagnation. He who is easily satisfied with his work will never achieve greatness.

PHONE MAIN 7905. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The ninth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to be held in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19th, 20th and 21st, 1908. The day sessions of the League will be held in the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal church. All of the night sessions are to be held in Richmond Market hall, formerly used by the Crack Fifth Maryland Regiment of Baltimore and recently by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. Richmond Market hall is one of the most satisfactory assembly rooms in the whole city of Baltimore. NEED THE COLONIZING SPIRIT. The endorsement of the plan of colonization presented by O. T. Jackson of Boulder by the State Business League brings to attention the peculiarly home-staying quality of our people. Rarely has any people so numerous as we, even when all was to their liking, shown the unwillingness to leave their native section or country, and certainly never has any people been so rooted to the soil where it meant so much danger of life or so little profit. The spirit of adventure, the hope of gain, the fear of the present, all are meaningless to the American Negro. Where our ancestors, almost girdled the globe and voyaged far to unknown lands, we will not forsake the haunts of men, but rather seem to seek the greater aggregations in the cities, even at the loss of the undisputed advantages of the country. So it is that while the thinkers of the race like Mr. Jackson, make plans and such endorsement is given as that of the Business League, it is a great deal to hope that, even for all that it means to us to own land, and be producers of the world's wealth firsthand, we will forsake the cities. All this is true with no reference to the financing of the movement. Money of Negroes lies in banks, thousands of dollars of it, drawing a pitiful 3 and 4 per cent., while the bankers reap three times as much from its use, because the owners of it are afraid to invest it on their own responsibility. They have learned to work with their hands, but their brains and their dollars remain dormant. How then can we expect a colored man who has no confidence in --- PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MS. ths ...,...$1.00 Three months ...$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. himself, to believe in any other member of his race? How is it to happen that he will trust the soil as a secure investment for his savings, when used for farm land, when he dares not trust Denver real estate that makes from 8 to 20 per cent. net yearly? We need the colonizing spirit. We lack the courage to dare, and the will to do. We must search ourselves and root out the weaknesses that stand in the way of our advancement, and put on the right spirit that will help us on. While we laud the efforts of individuals and organizations to lead us aright, we very much fear they will only serve to hasten the day when such things will strike a responsive chord in our lives. As it is now, advanced ideas such as this townsite idea, are foreign to our craven souls and we slink back into our idleness appalled at the effort and sacrifice it entails even though we grant the wonderful advantages that will accrue with time. Discipline Must Be Maintained. Secretary—"Sir, Willie Doublentry has been caught kissing the stenographer." Head of the Firm—"Well, dock him 50 cents for disrespect to the junior partner." Nature's Bounty. Every part of the tropical world has trees and shrubs which supply man with food and fuel and clothing with no more effort than is required to help himself. Discouraging. It is a little discouraging, says the Boston Globe, to find a lump of solder in the "fresh green peas" that you have ordered at the restaurant. Who Pays for This? A man who had served 18 months of a five-year term has just been released from the Western penitentiary because it was shown that his conviction was the result of mistaken identity.—Philadelphia North American. Circumvented. "Nurse, give me some strawberries, and give them to me quick, before my mamma comes," said a three-year-old in one of the hotel dining rooms. "You know, I've got one of those mothers who's always mixing in." Rome's Seven Hills. The names of the seven hills of Rome are: The Palatine, the Capitoline, the Aventine, the Carlian, the Esquiline, the Quirinal and the Viminal.—New York American. Lovely Time. "Yes," remarked Mrs. Malaprop- Partington, "we had a lovely time in Venice. There are no cabs there, you know, because the streets are full of water. One hires a chandelier and he rows you about in a dongola." Piacing Leather Belting. In putting up leather belting be sure to place the hair side next to the pulley. It not only clings to the pulley better, but will wear much longer. One Reason. One reason why so many men do all their love-making before they are married is that the ladies are satisfied then to have more or less privacy about it. Success Is Due to Zean. Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul. A Cleaning Hint. In cleaning clothes with gasoline the ring left around the part cleaned can be removed by steaming it over the teakettle. "We." The use of "we" among kings was begun by King John of England in 1119. When editors began to say "we" is not known. Ability. Men who undertake considerable things, even in a regular way, ought to give us ground to presume ability. Call of the Wild. There are times in a man's life when nothing will satisfy him but a look at the elephant or tiger.—Atchison Globe. A woman may be able to weave a spell without having the ability to farm a sock.—Chicago Record, Man as Dictator. As long as there are typewriters, 90 long shall man dictate to woman.

Church: You are requested by Bishop Grant to meet the Puget Sound Conference at Everett, Washington, August 19, 1908, prepared to submit your reports. You will be somewhat at a disadvantage in that you will have but a short time in which to raise your Conference claims. But, as the Iop and brethren understand the situation, I suppose due allowance will be made. We part not without some regrets, but hope the new departure will be for the best interest of all concerned. You did not allow the banner to trail while you were in the Colorado Conference, and I feel assured now that you have been made part and parcel of the Puget Sound Conference, the same moral heroism will distinguish you, as when amid so many labors and privations you were in the van sustaining the local as well as general interests of our connection in the African Mesthodist Episcopal church in the bounds of the Colorado Annual Conference, Adieu.

A more beautiful and solemn service was never conducted by any order. Master/Ford delivered in a solemn and touching manner the address, and the music was equally as thrilling. The grand, quiet, feeling manner in which these men and women conducted their services made everyone wish they were a Mason or a Star. The Bright Star Club gave their closing entertainment on Thursday evening. The affair was a grand one. The church was beautifully decorated and the Stars wore white and gold star badges.
