PICNIC OF THE SEASON Bloomfield Park-Thursday, Aug.13 Social Gayeties in Wyoming Metropolis Twentieth Year Social Gay Wyoming CHEYENNE, WYO. Rev. H. H. Jones, the pastor of the A. M. E. church, is suffering from an attack of indigestion. Little Hattle Brown of the South Side has been ill. At present writing she is better. Messrs. R. Nolle Smith and Orlandor Gaskin, two of our most popular young men, are visiting and sightseeing in Denver. Many indispositions are reported in our community of late. Among the ill reported are: Mrs. J. C. Gaskin, Mrs. J. E. Smith and Mrs. E. F. Landor, who are suffering from heavy colds. T. A. Edwards, formerly the proprietor of the Ferguson street barber shop, has been seriously ill for several days past. At present writing he is convalescing. Miss Eva B. Hopkins, one of our city's most charming members of the younger social set, is visiting relatives and many friends in "Denver the Beautiful." Mr. Joseph Carter, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Nellstine, arrived from Washington, D. C., several weeks ago to spend the summer, Mr. Carter is in the employ of our Senator Francis Warren, and during previous visits here has made many warm friends. Miss Nellstine has proved herself a valuable acquisition to our community, being possessed of many lovable qualities. Mr. Frank Steele, who has been sojourning in Pocatello, Idaho, and other Western points, is at home again in "old Chevenne." Rev. Jones has proven himself an able worker and an efficient pastor. His sermons are soul-stirring and inspiring. Several new names have been added to the church roll and both spiritually and financially the church is on the road to prosperity. Rev. and Mrs. W. L. N. Baker, accompanied by their sons, Nicholas and Philip, arrived here last week to be at the bedside of their daughter and sister, Mrs. Nora Taylor, who is quite low with tuberculosis. The Children's Day program, which was rendered by the members of Al- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 8 1908 len's A. M. E. Sunday school a few Sundays ago, was enjoyed by a large congregation. Miss Ella Pierson, the chairman of the Program committee, is to be commended for the success of her efforts. The music and recitations rendered by the children were of an exceptionally high order and displayed great talent. Miss Lena B. Hopkins delivered a very interesting address on Sunday school work. Miss Katheryne Turner, who is spending the summer at the home of her aunt, Mrs. J. E. Smith, gladdened the hearts of her many friends and admirers by uniting with the church of her choice, Allen's A. M. E., a few Sundays ago. Master Eddie Landor has also been impressed that the Scriptural quotation, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me," applies to him, and last Sabbath his parents and many friends welcomed him into the fold. Mrs. P. C. Crutchfield is attending the Baptist Association, which meets in Colorado Springs this week. Mrs. Crutchfield represents the Baptist church from Chevenne. Many improvements are being made in our city. The street railway has been laid and many improvements to sidewalks and dwellings have added to the general appearance of our already pretty little city. Mrs. Benjamin Davis is very pleasantly located in Montreal, Canada, where she will spend the summer. Mrs. Davis will visit Niagara Falls and many other Eastern points of interest before her return to Chevenne. The sad news of the death of Juanita, the stepdaughter of E. F. Landor, came as a shock to her many friends here, although for many weeks her death had been daily expected. Miss Juanita died in Kansas City, Mo., from tuberculosis, from which she had suffered but a few months. Her extreme youth makes her death pitiable. Social events are rather few and far between during the warm weather. The chief event of the season so far was the lawn party given by the members of the Searchlight Club, on whom the social activities of the community seem inclined to depend. The party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hopkins, on Nineteenth street. The Misses Lena and Eva, being two of our most worthy members of the club, and the TURDAY AUGUST 8 1908 State Historian & Na ural History Societ entertainment being held in their home, to them is due in a great measure the success of the venture. Both the lawn and the cosy residence were beautifully decorated, soft shaded lights and cosy corners on porch and lawn adding much to the artistic effect. A pleasant evening was spent by a large number of friends of the Searchlighters, and after partaking of a delectable collation the crowd at a late hour dispersed to their various homes, declaring the Searchlight Club members, as ever, delightful hostesses. Miss S. Katheryne Thistle, one of our charming young ladies, is contemplating a visit to Denver and other Colorado points in the near future. Mrs. James E. Smith is the proud possessor of a handsome horse and a fine rubber-tired rig with which her husband presented her a few weeks ago. Mrs. Smith's many friends have been the recipients of delightful drives. The ladies of the Stewardess' Board of the A. M. E. church are making elaborate preparations for a supper and entertainment to be given at the church in the near future. An enjoyable time is anticipated. Last Sunday evening a very enjoyable program was rendered at the A. m. E. church. Miss Lena B. Hopkins read one of the most beautiful papers that it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. Her subject, "Is There a God," was handled in an admirable and unique manner, and the query implied in the title was answered to the satisfaction of her hearers. Rev. h. H. Jones' paper was full of deep thought, good advice and wholesome truths. His subject, "The World Owes Me a Living," was suggested by a most interesting poem read by Wm. Ashford, Jr. on Children's Day. The choir was at its best and rendered several enjoyable selections. The bass solo by Mr. H. C. Jefferson was beautiful and heartily appreciated. Special programs are to be rendered quite frequently during the summer. Mrs. Cora Brown of the South Side was a pleasant visitor at the home of Mrs. E. F. Landon of 415 West Twenty-second street, last Monday. Mrs. Brown was accompanied by her three little ones. Mr. Simon Smith has sold his property on Eddy street for the consideration of $1,000. Mr. Smith owns several other pieces of nice property. Miss Bertie Larkins, who has been attending school in Washington, D. C., is home for the summer. Miss Bertie is one of the favorites of the younger social set and is a delightful and charming young lady. Mr. Simon Smith is building an addition to his large residence on West Twentieth street. --- Continued on page 16 IN SOCIETY'S MAD WHIRL. This week in Denver has been the week of entertainments, parties, public and private picnics, lawn fetes and trolley rides each particular function giving forth the greatest amount of pleasure. The week started off with the True Reformers banqueting and honoring their superior officers, with gala days and joyful nights at Jefferson park by the K. of P.'s in their encampment and ending with one of the pleasantest and most unique evening parties at Dania hall last Friday night. On this occasion, the ladies entertained the gentlemen, the affair being invitational, the selected guests, including many visiting teachers and other persons thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Full-dressed men and ladies in their gay summer attire made the event long to be remembered by all present. The people in charge have every reason to be proud of their success and the high standard set will rarely be equaled. On Thursday night Mrs. Frank Bland of Glenarm Place, in honor of her sister, of Little Rock, Arkansas, gave a lawn fete to introduce her to her many young friends. A jolly good time was had and all the young people will never forget the incidents, so pleasant to recall, that happened upon that occasion. Miss Bland will remain for the summer, after which she will return to her home. While Mrs. Maggie Hopson of Twenty-sixth street was being visited by her old acquaintances, Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson of Kansas City, Mo., her guests were the recipients of elaborate lunches and fine dinners, ending with a picnic at Golden, at which Misses Williams, Elsie Green, Mesdames Gussie Harris, Matilda Jacobs and Maggie Hopson were present. Just before this her guests were given a very dainty spread by Mrs. Ciarence Williams Sunday evening. They spent ten days visiting Mrs. Hopson. The True Reformers initiated quite a few new members Tuesday night and more were initiated Thursday night. Shorter Chapel, A. M. E. Church-Educational Day.

NOTHING BETTER FOR EASY SHAVE Baseball Fans. "Dear me!" remarked the perspiring old lady who was making her first visit to a baseball game. "I don't see how people can tell such terrible fibs." "What now, auntie?" asked the city niece, in surprise. "Why, the paper stated that there were thousands of 'fans' out here every afternoon and I am suffering with the heat and can't find one." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO, 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 Hagiiletes may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better mis- sionary 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 Christian- ization of their people. Daily supple- mentary exercises, designed to install habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regu- larity and accuracy, are provided. The teaching is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done clsewhere, 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. fs $8.50 per mth. The entrance fee ts $7.00, to of) pata 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 eee the Bible School. If the stu- dent? is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information, address: BOOKER T, WASHINGTON, Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, SIMPLY A DEMAND FOR PROOF Philadelphia Journal's Summing Up of Betsy Ross Incident. The Betsy Ross legend is quite harmless. Anybody may believe it who will It is like the story of Washington and the cherry tree. No body can prove that the youthful Washington did not chop a_ cherry tree. Very probably he did, and quite as probably he did not lie about it But if it were proposed to erect a public monument to mark the spot where the cherry tree stood, we should ask for some more certain evidence of the accuracy of the story than Par- son Weems’ long subsequent narra- tive. That is all that the historians appear to beasking about the Betsy Ross legend. They are not attack- ing the memory of that estimable woman, nor the veracity of her @& scendants. Family tradition is to be respected. But family tridition that is not supported by contemporary rec- ords or other historical evidence is an insufficient basis for an official in- dorsement that is supposed to be au- thoritative and conclusive. Nobody wishes to spoil a good story, but those who are satisfied with family traditions ought not to ask anything more.—Philadeiphia Ledger. EASY WAY OF MAKING MONEY. Little Newsboy Well Rewarded for His Services. The average newsboy is an accom- modating little cuss. An instance of this was noted recently on a busy street corner in front of a big down- town drug store. A fashionable look- ing woman with a big hat and veil and trimmings had just been into the drug store to buy three or four stamps. For she had letters to mail When she went to the mail box a serious prob- lem confronted her. How was she going to moisten the stamps without raising her veil? And she had her veil fixed just so. Rather than spoil the precise arrangement of her veil she decided to seek outside aid. “Here, little boy,” she called pleas- antly to a small newsie about a rod from her. “Won't you come and let me use your tongue for a moment?” Of course the boy went, wondering what the catch was. “Now, just lick this,” she said, hold- ing out a twocent stamp. The boy licked it, and, the stamp thus sal- ‘ivated she stuck it on a letter. Two or three more stamps were treated in the same manner, and all the letters were dropped into the box Then she handed the boy a dime for his pains. The boy turned upon two or three others who had been jibing at him “Easy money, wasn't it?” he retort- ed. And they all agreed that it wasn't bad.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fancy Dress Nuptials, Each season sees the wedding cere- mony becoming more and more of a theatrical pageant, until nowadays the only one of the protagonists who ap- pears in “the character of an English gentleman” is the bridegroom. Bride and bridesmaids run riot in mediaeval robes, directoire fantasies, and even in the sandals, wreaths, and chitons of ancient Hellas, while the unfortunate small boys who officiate are dressed in any fearful and degrading fashion that may happen to please their ma- ternal parents. Needless to say, these urchins “feel thelr position acutely,” and will possibly take their revenge later on by eschewing matrimony alto- gether, or by forcing their brides to be married—from a taxicab—at a regis- trar’s office.—London Sketch.

He left Saturday for Colorado points. The Mount Olive church held a grand fourth of August celebration at the large hall on First street. Prof. Lott, Rev. Henderson and others made excellent speeches in success of the negro, which were much appreciated. The hall was well filled all day. Opossum and barbecued beef and mutton was served with a fine dinner that was prepared by the members of the church. James Staughted, one of the leading millinery merchants of our city, died last Saturday of consumption. 1r. Staughter was a high Mason and his remains will be shipped back to his home Monday evening at the expense of that order, in company with his wife. The deceased had lived here for about two years and was a most desirable citizen. The Oldtimer! That is a peculiar name that those who have lived in our city for a certain number of years have given to themselves. Our city is fastly increasing in population, with a thrifty class of citizens who are making progress. The Oldtimer should not permit himself to become jealous of no good citizen nor do anything to discourage them; but welcome the new blood. This is the progressive idea. Clay Williams was shot and instantly killed by Gilbert Jenkins, better known as "Squabbler," at Madrid, N. M., last week. The men were quarreling over a gambling game. Report comes to us that S. T. Ellsworth of Tonopah, Nev., formerly a resident here, was stricken with paralysis last week. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Wilbur P. Thirkield, LL. D., President, Washington, D. C.

Rub two ounces of stale ladyfingers and two macaroons through a coarse sieve; beat six eggs until light, with four ounces of pulverized sugar; stir this into a quart of milk, brought to the boil in a double boiler, and continue to stir until it coats a knife blade. Take from the fire and add one-fourth box of gelatin which has soaked in a little cold water for an hour; strain and stand aside to cool. Line the bottom and sides of a melon mold with preserved or candied cherries, slices of quince or pineapple or any kind of preserved fruit and put in a layer of broken sponge cake. Sprinkle with the pounded macaroons and ladyfingers; add a layer of fruit, and so on until all is used. Cover with whipped cream and set the pudding on ice until ready to be served. All in the Serving. Even an ordinary pudding of a creamy nature takes on a new appearance if served in the tall-stemmed sherbet glasses. A tasty pudding served in this way at a recent dinner was made with rice and chocolate, topped with whipped cream. The pudding is made in the same way as the ordinary creamy baked rice pudding except that grated chocolate is added. A baked custard, topped with whipped cream and dotted with Maraschino cherries, came to the table in sherbet glasses the other day. Magic Polishing Cloths.

These cloths will give a fine gloss to silverware, will not soil the hands and will preserve their polishing qualities indefinitely.—Woman's Home Companion. To Make Soda Cake. CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO.

Baseball Spectator Not Behind Players In Distinction. Baseball is a chronic complaint of Senator Crane. When he was governor of Massachusetts he took his entire staff out for a drive, and surprised them by having the rigs pull up at an open field and announcing there was to be a baseball game. Two nines were chosen and the game began. Pretty soon somebody came along the road. "What teams are they?" he asked of one of the drivers. "Why, that man pitching is the governor of Massachusetts," the driver replied. "The one catching is the lieutenant governor. The first baseman is a congressman, the second baseman is the judge advocate general." "Say," interrupted the passerby, "perhaps you would like to know who I am. I'm Napoleon Bonaparte." Widow and Widower. He was evidently an old bachelor. And she showed sartorial and other signs of being a young widow in "second mourning"—maybe it was third mourning—I'm not sure. They were both frankly hungry; and when they were served, she said, between sips of claret: "It's funny when a man dies before his wife stress is given to the notice that he 'leaves a widow.' If she goes first, the announcements never say she leaves a widower. Aren't the facts identical?" And the old bachelor answered: "By no means. A widow is so timid and retiring that it is necessary to publish a notice to the effect that she still hangs out at the same old sign. But a widower doesn't need advertising; he is as frankly a widower as a baby is a baby; and he's like a baby, too—because the first six months he cries, the second six months he 'takes notice,' and he does mighty well if he gets through his second summer!" Curious Fishing Methods. The natives living along the Pan-Lung river have an odd method of fishing. Two dugout boats are used, each about 30 feet long, with two men with long poles, one in the bow, the other at the stern, punting the boat along. They stretch a long rope made of bamboo and plaited grass, about a hundred yards long, and weighted about every ten yards with big stones. This they let down into the water, and the fish are frightened toward the bank. The divers then jump in three at a time, remaining down about 20 seconds. They carry gaffs about 18 inches long, with cords attached. When they strike a fish they let go the gaff and the fish is hauled up into the boat. A big fire is lighted on the river bank for the men to warm themselves. Easy. Mrs. Carrie Nation, arrested in Pittsburg, said that she had been arrested 33 times. "I try to do good," she told a reporter. "In trying to do good I take life hard. Some folks, most folks, in fact, take it easy—as easy as the new hired girl wanted to take her new place. "'Everything goes by clockwork here,' the mistress said to this girl. 'By clockwork, mind you. You get up at six, you dine at 12, and you go to bed at ten.' "'Well, if that's all,' said the girl with a smile, 'I think I can manage PIANOS $100.00 AND UPWARD Anyone may have a Piano delivered at their home for $2.00 per week payments. COLUMBINE MUSIC CO.

Edwards, owing to the serious illness of her husband, has been obliged to shorten the length of her visit in Missouri and is expected home in a few days. The Barnum & Bailey circus attracted a large crowd of people. Many pleasant circus parties were formed. Mr. John Baker had as guests Mrs. Baker and the Misses Eva and Lena Hopkins. Mr. H. C. Jefferson was accompanied by Mrs. Jefferson and the Misses Lillian Jefferson, S. K. Thistle and Nellestine Carter. The Misses Mae Smith, Lucie Smith and Katheryne Turner formed another pleasant little party. Many others attended and all report a pleasant time. The appearance of the church property is being improved by a cement walk. Many other improvements are in the minds of the members of the official board. Last Sunday was rally day for the pastor, and we are glad to state that although the day before was circus day and everyone but the pastor attended, we did not hear one complaint from the pastor that he failed to receive what was promised him and due to the church cause. Mrs. Henry Cooper has been in poor health all the summer. Mrs. Cooper will leave Cheyenne for her old home in Atchison, Kansas, Sept. 1st, to be gone many months. Mrs. Cora Brown also expects to visit her parents in the same city the latter part of August. Many visitors from Denver and other Colorado cities are expected in our city Frontier Days. The people of Cheyenne have tested the hospitality of the Colorado people, especially those of Denver, and have found them unequaled for their bounty and their generosity. Allow us to return your compliments. Come to Cheyenne and spend Frontier Days, Aug. 20th, 21st and 22nd. YOU ARE WELCOME. CALENDAR OF CONFERENCES In the Fifth Episcopal District for 1908.

Sprague and John Contee, who are secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Grand Lodge, are leaving Tuesday for Salt Lake City or the Grand Lodge. On the occasion of her birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Barnes tendered their daughter, Lena, a birthday party Wednesday at their home on Glenarm Place. There was a jolly crowd of young people present, who made her remember their friendship in the past and left her their best wishes for the future. Bishop Heard, who is one of the bishops of the A. M. E. church elected at the recent general conference to have charge of the work in Africa, is holding the Western conferences of the Fifth Episcopal district for Bishop Grant. These two dignitaries met here in Denver and planned the work to be done in the Puget Sound and Californit conferences to which Bishop Heard is bound. They were heard together in a meeting extraordinary at Shorter church Monday morning at which there was contributed $50.00 to the African work. The attendance was well up to the importance of the occasion, for seldom indeed does the Western public have opportunity to have two of the chief officers of the church together with them. Bishop Grant, who spent the latter part of the week in Colorado Springs, left also Monday for his home in Kansas City, where he will remain until after the triple celebration tendered him on the occasion of the completion of 60 years of life, 35 years of ministry and 20 years of service as bishop. Miss Eva Hopkins of Cheyenne is in the city visiting Mrs. Dishman. Mesdames Cassells and Hubbard, Misses Katherine and Martha Hubbard are summering in Manitou. Louis Hubbard visited them Sunday. The shirt waist ball has come and been a decided success. It was hot, very hot, and the gentlemen stripped of their coats enjoyed themselves as never before at Bourner's hall. It was a comfortably sized crowd and made up of those socially agreeable and pleasure loving. To be appreciated, one needed to have done the light fantastic in a shirt waist. Bishop and Mrs. Phillips were in the city a few hours Monday en route to California. SPECIAL LOCALS FOR SALE—4 lots, 6-room house, stables, chicken house, coal sheds; all for $900; enquire of Geo. W.

The horse will leave musty hay un- touched in his, bin, however hungry. He will not drink of water objection- able to his questioning sniff, or from a bucket which some odor makes of- fensive, however thirsty. His intelll- gent nostrils will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest of hands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a nauseous mouth- ful at a gulp. A are is never satis- fied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate to the fact. A blind horse, now living, will not al- low the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The dis- tinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable dis- tance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fences. The sense of smell informs them of its proximity.—Horse and Stable. Antidote for Pneumonia. I first satisfied myself of the eff- cacy of my serum by experiments on animals. Then trials were made last winter in the St. Elizabeth and Stuy- venburg hospitals in Antwerp. Sey- eral of the patients had pneumonia in an advanced stage, and were also hab- itual drunkards, which always in- creases the gravity of the danger. In every case the serious symptoms were corpletely arrested within 36 hours, while the temperature and pulse again became normal. These re- sults, says Dr. Berirand of Antwerp in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, were ob tained with a total dose of serum not exceeding eight cubic centimeters, in- jected by doses of one or two cubic centimeters at a time. There is no known serum which takes effect with such small doses. Confession of Venus, Long after the visitors’ hour in the art gallery the statues engaged in conversation. “Say, Vene,” called Neptune's daughter, “tell us the truth. How did you lose your arms?” “You won't breathe it to any one?” asked Venus. “You don’t mean to say that a wom an would tell a secret, do you?” “Well, I'll tell you. I was trying to get my hands over my ‘Merry Wid- ow’ hat to attach the hat pin and my arms snapped off.” And the statues laughed so hilart- ously that Mars awoke from his nap and grabbed his spear. Fine Writing. The art of fine writing is almost ex- tinct, remarks a correspondent who has seen the illuminated manuscripts at the Burlington Fine Arts club. This was brought forcibly to his mind when he set about the task of finding some one who could write an illuminated address to be presented to an eminent person, which should reproduce the lost art of the monkish “scriptorium” rather than be a gorgeous specigaen of the ticket writer’s skill. He ran his man down at last in a small shop off Chancery lane, kept by a stationer who might have sat pr the portrait of worthy Mr. Snagsby in “Bleak House.”—London Chronicle. STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK. Twisted All Four Masts of Schooner James B. Drake. The four-masted schooner James B, Drake is at McPhee’s shipyard in Bow ton undergoing repairs for one of the most peculiar accidents in the histery of navigation. While cruising in southern waters the schooner was caught in a cyclonio storm which revolved around the ves sel in such a manner that all four of her masts were twisted in their steps, When the ship carpenters investigat- ed the schooner preparatory to begin- ning their work they could scarcely believe their eyes. Plainly some ro- tary motion of wind and storm had caught the poles in a leverage, foro ing them just half way around. No explanation is offered for the masts not coming out of the vessel. All four are standing and have been carrying safl all the way to port. No other dam- age was received during the storm, and although the masts were turned they were not injured in the least. The accident is the first of its kind in the memories of the oldest navigat- ors about the harbor. They say that of all the freaky gales reported of the tropics this is the strangest, and many refused to believe the story until they had visited the yard and viewed the schooner themselves—Boston Tran- script. Psychology of Drese. Dr. Thomas Claye Shaw of London, speaking on the subject of the special psychology of women, says that there is a psychology in clothes. It is use less to say that they dress as they de to please other women or please men. They dress simply because they have to in their own way and to their own satisfaction. The psychology of dress is that it appears to make you be what you profess to be.

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. Dairy Husbandry, two (2) years' course. Swine 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.

Mischief Done by Gwie That many of the gulls have become far too numerous during the last 15 or 20 years, thanks to coddling and overmuch protection, has become a patent fact to those who observe and understand the habits of these birds. Here and there measures are being taken to lessen the plague, and by some few county councils the protection once accorded has been withdrawn. Gulls are responsible for an enormous destruction of fish, as well as raids on the eggs and young of various birds. In many parts of Scotland the lesser black backed gulls have become the veriest vermin, in this respect rivaling the hooded crow and common rook, the latter another recent development of unwise overpreservation.

Miss Cyrene Smith and Miss Grace McConnell of Topeka are visitors to the city, stopping with Mrs. Shelbun. Mrs. C. B. Franklin and H. W. Win- kle are among the visitors to the Springs Sunday. The soda dispensers made a hit with their picnic. They had every- thing worth while to make the public feel glad to spend an evening with them. The music, the service, the crowd was of the best. No little in- terest attached to the ticket selling contest that was on between Mrs. Reese and Miss Dora Holmes, but the illness of the latter during practically the whole of the time of the contest made it practically “no race.” How- ever the dispensers like the big ~2arted fellows they were awarded Mrs. Reese the watch just the same and complimented Miss Holmes with a handsome bracelet as a token of their appreciation of her willingness to help them. Sunday mornings from 8 to 11:30 there is shower service at the bath- house. Miss Dora Holmes is improving from an attack of peritonitis. Rey. E. Roy, pastor Baptist church of Fort Dodge, is in the city at 3437 Gilpin street and expects to make this his home. Pythias Lodge No. 11, Knights of Pythias, will give an excursion Labor day. W. A.

We welcome a movement like that so that our strangers can see and pet us, also that we may see and meet them. Denver has been long in need of such service.

One Argument in Defense of Reserve of City Life. There is much to be said of the custom prevailing in large cities, the indifference with which families regard each other. They may live with only a thin wall as a separation, and never know their neighbors by sight. It is heartless, in a way, to have no knowledge of misfortune which one might relieve, but it is rather agreeable to be able to live as one pleases with the certainty that prying eyes are not taking stock of economies and habits. It is almost impossible to begin a system of retrenchment in a town or neighborhood where there are keen eyes to inspect every movement and sharp tongues to discuss each discovery. So we have families always living beyond their means because they have not the moral courage to advertise their true financial condition. It is not wise to take the public into one's confidence. When it becomes necessary to give up a home it lessens the chances of recovering from pecuniary losses to allow the neighborhood to discuss the matter with certain knowledge. A graceful retreat can generally be managed save in gossiping places, and even there silence is much better than confession. HE WAS FACING A "DRY" DAY. Thirsty Man, True to Promise, Really in Desperate Straits. Charles M. Schwab, at the reception that he gave to the American Boiler-Makers during their convention in Detroit, said that among his many millionaire friends all were honest, and that he did not know of a single American millionaire who had made his money dishonestly. "But the millionaire looms big," said Mr. Schwab, "and everybody wants to find fault with him. We are as anxious to find flaws in our millionaires as old Bill Lush of Loretto was to find special occasions. "Yes, sir,' said Bill one night, 'I faithfully promised my wife 37 years ago never to take more than three drinks except on special occasions. Friday was my birthday, Saturday was Decoration day, Sunday my brother-in-law concluded a visit to us, Monday we had fine weather after a long wet spell, to-morrow my oldest girl's new directoire dress comes home; only today, durn it, I can't think of anything special.'" Irish Postage. On a recently received letter were two postage stamps, one the familiar red stamp, the other an unfamiliar stamp of a dull green, both canceled by the post office at which the missive had been mailed. The green stamp carried in the oval a figure in flowing robes discoursing sweet music upon a harp. In the top panel was the legend "Eirne," on each of the two side panels was the inscription "Sinn Fein," all the lettering being in the Irish character. The bottom panel displayed a couchant hound. On small shields in the four corners were the heraldic blazons of the kingdoms of Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught. This Irish postage will not carry a letter far unless re-enforced by stamps of more solid collateral value, but it serves as a vent for national enthusiasm and contributes a little to the cause. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Leaves Typewritten Note of Explanation and Also Appreciation. France has a fairly representative selection of burglars and other criminals, but the typewriter burglar is a novelty. He broke into a flat of an apartment house in Toulouse the other day and left the following letter neatly typewritten on a machine in the room: "Dear Sir and Colleague-I think by your untidiness that you are not a lady, but untidiness means a busy man. So I congratulate you. I can see that you are a professional typist, like myself, and guessing that you were one I looked into your box of papers for your keys and naturally found them there. "I have emptied the drawers of your table, out of which I have taken fr. 2.10 (41 cents). This is a low price for an evening's work, but I have also carried off some of your work, which I will study at my leisure. "Some of your translations are quite good; I do a little of it myself in my spare moments. I am not taking your machine, for you and I know how very nearly impossible it is to sell a second-hand typewriter. "You will forgive me, my dear colleague, for not signing this letter, and you need not fear a return visit from me. There is nothing worth taking in your rooms." WORTHY OF FLAG SHE CARRIED. Historic Incident Participated in by American Warship. Of the old sloop of war St. Mary's, now to be consigned in her sixty-fifth year to the tender mercies of the auction, it is written that she bore no conspicuous part in war in all her long service. This may be true, but the St. Mary's was once associated with an event which is worthy of commemoration. Under the command of the late Capt. Colvocoreses she was the means, 40 or more years ago, of postponing the bombardment of Valparaiso by the Spanish fleet. She was anchored before the city, and the Spanish admiral hinted that she was in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocoreses remarked that he was perfectly satisfied with his berth, and that while the St. Mary's carried but 22 guns, she represented a navy that had 2,200 guns at sea. Valparaiso was eventually bombarded, but not while Capt. Colvocoreses was present. The peculiar name of the ship commemorates an early colonial capital of Maryland. It was given in the same spirit of historical association as was illustrated by the Jamestown and the Plymouth, her sister ships. ∑ In the best place for good Razors, Shears, Pocket Knives, Combz Brushes, Pomades and all toilet articles at [Name] The Leader We are the public 2057½ La hair good all kinds, have a f latest Pan nets of all Miss G.

TRADE MARK (Registered) Fisherman's Bitter Complaint Against Alleged Friends. "I never could and never shall be able to understand the actions of men toward one who has caught a big fish," said the man with the far-away look in his eyes as the subject of fishing was broached. "Last spring I went down to Tampa Beach to fish for tarpon. On the second day out I hooked a monster. That fish weighed over a hundred pounds. While I was playing him over the boat's approach, and he leaped out of water at least ten men got a fair sight of him. All of them called out that he was a prize and encouraged me to hang on. The fish finally snapped the line and got away, to the disappointment of all. When I got back to the hotel I did some talking of course, but to be met with grins and winks on every hand. That rolled me, and I began to call on my witnesses. What do you think was the result?" We all knew, but no one answered, and after a minute the man continued: "Only one out of the crowd would back me, and when they came to pin him down he declared that it was a sea bass and weighed as much as five pounds. Why is it, gentlemen—why is human nature built that way? Why can't humanity give a fisherman a fair show?" But only echo answered. We had been there ourselves. Bwailows Lack Neting places. The most important factor in the multiplication of bird life is the sufficiency of nesting sites, and every year the swallow's range of choice is circumscribed. He used to be the "chimney swallow," and it must have been a severe blow to the prospects of the race when instead of the wide, ledged chimneys we began to build straight, narrow flues, with no lodgings for the birds at any point. In may other ways houses and even farm buildings are being rendered more and more unsuitable for swallow guests, while the overmultiplying sparrow annexes most of the best sites which remain. The swallow, with his little soft beak and tiny feet, is no fighter.—Country Queries and Notes. Unexpected Ally. Truth was at the bottom of her well, but the Cost of Print Paper, by shouting very loud, made her hear. "I'm going to help you!" declared the Cost of Print Paper. Of course, Truth hurried right up—the way things were going, she was mighty glad to be helped. "Easy enough!" the Cost of Print Papar went on, in a breezy, confident way. "I'm making it so the newspapers would rather take the trouble to get things right in the first place, than give up so much space to denials the day after." "Dear me; this is very gratifying!" exclaimed Truth, rubbing her hands and beaming cordially. Had the Symptom. Soiled Samuel—Wot's diss disease dey call hydrophobia?

Dr. Frederick Gast, professor emeritus of Hebrew in the Reformed Theological seminary at Lancaster, Pa., is one of the very few persons living who were intimately acquainted with President Buchanan, and he has a large stock of stories about the Pennsylvanian that have never appeared in print. Buchanan was born in a sparsely settled part of Bedford county, and in his youth his mother was accustomed to place around his neck a cow bell so that its tinkling announced his whereabouts whenever he wandered into the woods surrounding the family cabin. Neighbors' children, nearly all of whom were of German parentage, invariably thereafter called him "Chimmy mit de bells on," a nickname which later in life led him into one of the flercest political feuds that ever existed in the Keystone state. Thaddeus Stevens and Buchanan were practicing lawyers in Lancaster, and were intimate friends until one day, opposed to each other in the trial of a suit, Stevens banteringly referred to his friend as "Chimmy, mit de bells on." Buchanan made no reply in court, but as soon as the trial was ended he lured his insulter into an alleyway and gave him a drubbing which Stevens had reason to never forget. Thereafter the two were implacable enemies. MORAL VALUE OF THE SWORD Weapon Purely Ornamental, But Cannot Be Discarded. Officers of the German army are to be ordered to resume their swords, discarded after the Boer war. The fact is of interest as showing a recognition by the army authorities of the moral value of a weapon now become purely ornamental. With the enemy's firing line miles away, the sword has come to be regarded as a military toy merely. One of the minor lessons of the Japanese war was the demonstration of its usefulness as a distinguishing mark of the officer. To do away with the sword would be to effect a military economy at the expense of the spirit of the service, of a kind with the silencing of the drum in the French army. In the sword lies half the poetry of war. Where else on canvas is martial glory so vivified as in Meissonier's "Friedland," with the cuirassiers galloping before Napoleon, their swords raised on high? Sober fact makes it true that the long-range rifle no less than the pen is mightier than the sword. States can be saved without it, and peaceful nations will continue to beat their swords into plowshares. Protecting the Miners. The American miner has been the object at one time and another of considerable sentimental sympathy, to which he has probably paid very little attention. The establishment of a government experiment station for the study of mine explosives is a much more practical kind of interest. It is to be hoped that the European example will be followed to the full extent of prohibiting the use of explosives that are proved unnecessarily dangerous and strictly limiting the amount of any explosive that can be used under given conditions.—Boston Transcript.

SNOBBERY COME TO DENVER. While we pay a proper respect to educated men, and take a pride in their professional ability, it is a sad sight to us to see any man vaunting his superior attainments and disparaging such of the race as have not had the opportunity of rubbing their heads against college walls. The bulk of negroes are educated only in a rudimentary way. The great majority of them that reflect credit upon the race because on their industry and thrift, come from this class. It therefore seems to us to be a case of sour grapes for the highly educated, who are in no respect superior in actual accomplishment, in property holdings, or commanding influence, to pose as dictators of public conduct or critics of publi standards. Good citizenship does not depend upon the amount of education, and the race need not despair because it falls short of the college standard which snobbery seeks to institute for the masses. Thank Providence, all educated people have not surrendered good sense to conceit, and this new cult is small and not formidable. The permanent organization of the Baptists of the state is a step in the right direction. It has long been demonstrated that soon or late there will come a cleavage between the races even in the churches, and the time of the saparation is hastened rather than retarded by the progress of our people. The divine law makes every man his brother's keeper. But the twentieth century says "the weaker to the wall." Since no help may be expected from the opposite race, we must do for ourselves, and the state Baptists in serving notice upon the world that they are strong enough to go by themselves, make us feel proud of them. May they prosper. May they find an ever broadening field of usefulness and influence. May their officers and members feel the possibilities before them and look up! The slave child forming rude characters in the ashes and in the dust could not see the magnificent colleges that now shelter and foster the budding intelligence of negro youth, nor could the little Philadelphia church that was the original home of colored Methodism seem to be the forerunner of the wealth and power of the colored branch of the denomination. So the small beginnings, when nurtured by the tears of sacrifice, beget the wonders of later days. Vale! Baptists of colorado! There will be no lack of newspaper service for the colored people of this city. Two publications for the benefit of the Democratic party are being projected, one by Mr. Montgomery, who came here from Wisconsin during the Democratic convention, and the other by Rev. Cole, whose publication, the "Liberator," is being advertised as the work of a man "who is the acknowledged leader of Colorado emocracy." PAGE. 8. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. MRS. months .....$1.00 Three months ...$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. We pause for a moment to call attention to the great work being done by the fraternities. Thousands of men and women, under the call of their societies, are contributing to the comfort and happiness of others, when otherwise they would be living selfish lives, thousands of dollars are smoothing a dying pillow and buying health for the afflicted, which might have been spent in mere idle pleasures. There are elements in the fraternal relationships that show the possibilities of our people, as they are not shown in other kinds of activity. Union, the dream of the enthusiast, finds its best expression in them. Then, too, they school their members in self-control, in intelligent co-operation, in public speaking, in altruistic thinking. The weaknesses and foibles of humanity are softened in them and the better part rises to view. The tribute of respect paid them by the public in their generous patronage of their entertainments is proper. Amid the self laudations of jangling interests, the course of the fraternities runs quietly onward. May they continue to win the admiration and support of thoughtful men and women. SAD DISAPPOINTMENT IN STORE Robbers' Booty Merely a Large Bunch of "Stage Money." When Hall McAllister was playing in "Brewster's Millions" in Chicago, he was in the habit of running across the alley during his idle second act, to visit Jack Barrymore, who was playing "The Boys of Company B," in the theater next door. One night, as he started over, he thought of the $30,000 in stage money which he must have in the last act, and, to reassure himself, he opened his coat and took the package half out of his pocket. In another minute he found himself pushed hard against the door, the imitation money gone, and two figures disappearing in the darkness. "It nearly spoiled the play," says McAllister. "I had to give Brewster $85 in real money and the rest by check. But, after all," he added sympathetically, "perhaps even thugs have families to support."—Success Magazine.

Refreshments The United Brothers of Friendship entertained a good crowd at Bloomfield Park Saturday evening, it being the occasion of their forty-seventh anniversary. There was music and fun a-plenty. They were assisted by the ladies' temples associated with the order. The Brothers are growing in consequence in the community and representing one of the strongest colored societies in the country, their prosperity is noteworthy. The fraternity thanks the public for the liberal patronage given. Two new colored clerks went to work in the postoffice last month, Messrs. Smith and Herndon, the latter being assigned to Villa Park station. Edward Tumlin, Grand Master of Masons, left the city Tuesday en route for Salt Lake, where the grand session will be held. He will stop over at many Colorado points en route. Thomas Willis has been east on a visit to Washington, Baltimore and New York. The first named city is his old home and he brought back many greetings to native Washingtonians of this city. Mrs. Ida DePriest has returned from a visit in Kansass. A. wanders is suffering with an injured foot. There was a coaching party Saturday evening, in which a number of the young married couples and single folk took part that almost ended in a tragedy. Early in the evening the party was en route to Bloomfield park, where the United Brothers of Friendship were having their anniversary celebration. In crossing the tracks a switch engine of the Colorado & Southern backed a string of freight cars down upon the coach, killing two horses and shaking up all the passengers. Mrs. J. W. Morris was thrown from the top of the coach under the horses and now lies at her home seriously injured. There was no light at the crossing, no ball and no watchman. The abundance of witnesses to the tragic affair all agree that the driver of the coach was in no way to blame. Miss Nettie B. Penix, assistant instructor of music at Western University, and Miss Mabel Wilson, teacher in the city schools of Kansas City, Kansas, are in the city, guests of F. W. Penix and W. R. Herndon.

Why, to Dania Hall, August 15. It is only 25c. What is going on? Why, the grand ball, with two prizes for the best buck and wing dancers. You do not want to miss it. Refreshments and good music. Mrs. Minnie Robinson entertained one hundred and fifty of the elite Friday evening at a reception complimentary to Mrs. Dean of Cripple Creek. She was assisted in caring for her guests by Mesdames Raymond, Anderson, Keelin, Martin, Contee, Boyd, L. C. McCullough and Miss Mary Powell. Mrs. Dishman, Misses Grace Montgomery, Stella Green and Henrietta Howard also assisted. The last three served at the punch bowl. Mrs. Annie Bobo and Miss Bertha Cole were indisposed this week. Barring Tyler-White and Hackley recitals without a question of the slightest doubt the entertainment given by the Columbine Fountain of the N. O. T. R., was easily the best musicale yet given in that church, by either foreign or local talent. Best, because of the culture, refinement and intellectual and musical ability and training exhibited. There have been concerts at which there were twice as many people, but no audience could have surpassed the one in question. When you think of all of the participants on the program of such high standing, being all young people of the race, a greater hope and a brighter future for us in the musical line was never before manifested. Denver is justly proud of her musicians and all of her artistically inclined students and when she has an opportunity to ontrast her talents with other cities she prides herself in her unselfish and easy approach to develop and make known her visitor's ambitions and abilities. With vocal solos from Misses Frankie Buchanan, Shorter's leading soprano; from Mrs. Norwood, from Miss Pearl Barnes, whose sweet penetrating voice, with her pleasing manner, easily won her much applause and Mrs. Eliza Dishman whose ability as a sweet singer has been and is recognized by even Denver's musical critics, were rendered with such perfection and enthusiasm that each was compelled to respond to an encore. To mention Mrs. Jessie Nickens-Reese and her expected encore, is mildly put, for her sincere manner of portraying the author's soul impressed the audience of her dramatic as well as musical power. Miss Bertha Cole of Kansas City was ill and could not be present to sing. This program was interpolated with instrumental solos by Miss Caperunum Chinn, a musical product of which this city is proud, and by Miss Eva Jones, who performed well and whose musical training bespeaks for her a wonderful future. The instrumental duett by Miss Gertie Nichols and Mrs. H. Hudson was, while a very difficult feature to perform on a pipe organ and piano at the same time, proved to be one of the gems of the program. Those who were present saw and heard what can not be expressed in words, except to say the feature was grand. The vocal duet by Mesdames Banks and Gaskins, two DC. members of the Choral society, was greatly appreciated for the harmony rhythm and deep feeling demonstrated by the performers. The instrumental solos by Miss Rhoda Anderson, another one of Denver's favorite daughters, by Miss Claire Gilmore, was all that words can express for them. Their selections were classical and every part was mastered as was clearly evinced by the manipulation and technique. When Mr. Morgan Jackson plays his violin, if he does not play perfect, as is his custom, the audience shows it by their applause, but Monday night, though the applause was deafening, yet he failed to respond to an encore.
