MASONIC ANNUAL CONVOCATION FRANKLIN'S PAPER TWENTIETH YEAR MASONIC CON The annual convocation of the Masons of Colorado and jurisdiction has come to an end. The meeting in Salt Lake City was attended by delegations from various cities, but not up to the usual numbers. However, the delegates report that for pleasantness in the proceedings and for hospitality on the part of the hosts, it has had no equal. The sessions opened on Thursday morning and included Saturday. The grand officers elected and appointed are: The next place of meeting will be Colorado Springs. There was no effort made by any one to have C. R. Robinson reinstated to standing as had been rumored for some time. The result of the election is an endorsement of the administration of the past year, a larger number of re-elections being given than heretofore. Financially last year was a banner year, several lodges showing marked improvement. The unusually large number of deaths and the consequent drain upon the treasury was offset by the increased income. The jurisdiction maintains friendly relations with sister jurisdictions and the Masonic watchword is "Forward." ROSTER OF GRAND OFFICERS. E. C. Tumlin, M. W. G. M., Denver Colo. W. D. Powell D. G.

[Picture of a woman with a white headband and dark hair, looking downward. She is wearing a dark dress with a white collar and a white hat. The background is a plain black surface with no visible patterns or textures.] SIR H. B. FOX. Who has been re-elected Grand Vice Chancellor of the Jurisdiction for his sterling qualities as a builder in the Knights of Pythias. THE BASEST OF TREACHERY Evident misrepresentation of political conditions two years ago, in the light of the present, convinces us that J. H. Stuart conspired to prevent race representation. The height of jealousy In its issue of September 1, 1906, the Colorado Statesman, edited by Joseph D. D. Rivers, says "HIGHLY END ORSED. "Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, member of the executive board of the People's Sunday Alliance, is selected by caucus of prominent negroes as their choice as candidate for the legislature. "A large body of representative colored citizens met in caucus last Wednesday night at the office of the Colorado Statesman and unanimously adopted the following preamble and resolutions." (Then follows a general setting forth of the desserts of colored voters at the hands of the republican party, concluding with this paragraph): "In the judgment of this caucus and of the citizens whose names are hereunto subscribed, Attorney Joseph H. Stuart most fully measures up to the above requirements and best meets the conditions of political availability. We therefore recommend that he be a candidate on the legislative ticket and earnestly urge his nomination by the coming republican convention." Seventy-six names were attached to the resolutions, headed by that of Joseph D. D. Rivers. The article takes up two columns on the first page, and is embellished with Mr. Stuart's picture. Yet two weeks ago, referring to the defeat of J. W. Jackson for the legislature, he said: "How is it that the objection has often been raised against our claims for recognition on the ground that we presented too many candidates for the same office, but in the last two campaigns, when the field was left free, clear and undisurbed to a single candidate, he was ignominiously turned down? The writer can think of but one plausible answer, and that is, that the candidate put himself up as a dummy to be knocked down in order FIVE CENTS A COPY ST OF REACHERY of political conditions two of the present, convinces inspired to prevent race weight of jealousy to handle a little money to run a Jim Crow campaign for the niggers and to be their boss." Can it be that Mr. Stuart thought so little of his seventy-six endorsements that he forgot all about them? Or is Mr. Rivers' paper so little read that he never heard of them? Or has he deliberately misrepresented facts? It is unqualifiedly false that J. W. Jackson was the sole candidate for the legislature two years ago, and no one knows it better than Mr. Stuart himself. Furthermore, we now lay at his door a charge of deliberately setting out to defeat the hopes of the negroes of having a legislative nominee two years ago and we base the charge upon testimony of witnesses. Indeed, it has been the custom over some years for his name to be introduced into legislative contests, without any reasonable effort being made to land him. He may have been free from bad intent in other years, but two years ago, the evidence points to his being party to a scheme, so despicable, that if guilty he has played the worst traitor to the race in the history of Denver. Everybody knew that seventy-six persons did not meet as claimed by this article, for a 10x12 room will not hold them. But no one would think it possible for members of the race to use this petition for the purpose of preventing the nomination of a colored man on the Republican ticket. Here are the facts. It was generally believed two years ago that the county would go republican, and that a nomination was equivalent to an Contiuued on Page Eight --- WASHINGTON A CENTURY HENCE. Writer Points Out Necessity of Building for the Future. A communication to the Washington Star says: "Your editorial on government buildings on the 22d instant is very correct in principle. They need a whole block. But allow me to suggest that half a loaf is better than no loaf or only scattered crumbs. The real trouble is that no plan is adopted and moves are made according to the spur of the moment, involving the future, sometimes disastrously. We have all seen the growth of this country in the last 20 years; let's close our eyes and dream a vision of a century hence, with this plan worked out gradually: The White House remains as it is, with a court of honor made of the discarded columns of the treasury; on the west, the war department is in what is now the state, war and navy; it has elbowed out the navy, which has taken refuge in the Mills building, which has grown to the whole block of the avenue and F. Between them the Winder building is there to provide annexes as they are needed. The old Corcoran Gallery block has become the state, with appropriate reception rooms for greeting the whole diplomatic corps. The Bureau of American Republics has become one of its subdivisions. Justice is in the vacant lot opposite the treasury, taking in the Arlington Fire Insurance and Riggs' bank. Belasco theater is the home of the supreme court, court of claims, etc. The treasury has its auditing offices in the block of the Hotel Regent and Chase's. The hall of records fills the other end of the block. Commerce and labor has a fine home on the avenue beyond the postoffice and district buildings. Agriculture has also a fine home near the botanical gardens, following the south side rebuilding of the avenue. Is not that a beautiful vision? It can be realized some day if we recollect that we are building for our children's children. Circumstances alter, and homes that are now considered landmarks may be willingly given up by future heirs; banks may close or move, and as a last resort there is always official expropriation. Let us see only the plan and ignore the obstacles; pursue the plan persistently, gaining ground constantly as events occur with the same unalterable purpose, and Washington will become the finest capital in the world. Paris and London have had to struggle against historical landmarks of ages ago—relics of the middle ages that had to be preserved as heirlooms of a past period, but that taxed ingenuity and talent to their utmost to improve around them. L'Enfant was a genius who started and created Washington out of magnificent distances. We have now a good successor to him in Col. Bromwell. May he remain long in charge of district improvements. Famous Explorer Once Waif. It is not generally known that Stanley, the famous explorer, was a waif, and that his original name was not Stanley at all, says the Delineator. The little boy's "real name" was John Rowlands. He was born near Denbigh, Wales, in 1840. When he was three years old he was put in a poorhouse at St. Asaph. It was ten years later that he sailed away to America as a cabin boy. In New Orleans a merchant by the name of Henry Morton Stanley adopted him and the little boy was given his name. The "John Rowlands" was discarded from that day. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO English Women as Physicians. The Englishwoman is making great headway in the medical profession. The College of Physicians already admits her to all its examinations. The Royal College of Surgeons has just taken up the question. At a recent poll of the fellows and members a majority of the fellows were in favor of admitting women, but the majority of the members were opposed. The London Hospital, commentig on the result of this poll, declares that the opposition of the members depends on their ignorance of the excellence of woman practitioners and on fear of their competition. These two objections cut each other's throats. Skilled man surgeons are not troubled by the competition of unskilled woman surgeons. On the other hand, there is no tenable ground for barring the skilled woman from any of the honors or privileges of the profession. Antique prejudice cannot long hold out against the assault of the expert, no matter how unwise she may have been in her choice of sex. It is better to give cordially what she demands than to wait till she takes what she deserves and makes the withholder ridiculous. New York Evening Post. As He Read the Sign. Two little boys the other day, from a distant city, on a visit to the capital of the nation with their parents, sat on the front steps of the house where they were visiting, absorbed in the passing traffic. A smart touring car buzzed into view and sped on. "That's a fine automobeel," observed one little urchin. "It's a laundry wagon, too," his brother commented, with conviction. "'Tain't neither. What makes you think that?" "Can't you read, goosie?" the other returned, scornfully; "it says 'Wash Dirty Clothes' on the back." So the imaginative little stranger had interpreted the "Wash., D. C.," on the pendant metal number tag on the back of the machine in perfect seriousness. Color Tone of Washington. The color tone of the city of Washington is green—a bright, new green in June and gradually darkening as the leaves of the trees mature. There are nearly half a million ornamental trees and numerous extensive parks in the Capital city, which accounts for its color tone. From above the eye looks down on a vast sea of green, along the southern extremity of which winds a silvery band, the Potomac. To the east a white island dots the waving mass of green, and a little beyond an island of glistening gold shimmers in the sunlight. The first is the capitol, the second the library of congress. A brilliant white dot in the west, surrounded by specks of yellow and red, marks the White House and the cluster of gardens around it. Undismayed. "No," said the passerby, "I cannot give you any money. "For charity's sake?" persisted the beggar. "Not to-day. Charity begins at home, with me." "Right you are, sir. What's your address?" Done in Style. "That is a duel between Count Fucashi and Prince de Brass. Being prevented by social engagements from attending in person they have sent phonographs. MONUMENT TO HERO MONUMENT TO HERO THE KOSCIUSZKO STATUE WILL PLEASE WASHINGTONIANS. Designed for Lafayette Park, the Work, It Is Declared, Will Be a Welcome Addition to Statuary of the Capital. The Kosciuszko monument which is to be erected at the northeast corner of Lafayette park, in Washington, will harmonize in general characteristics with the statues of Lafayette on the Pennsylvania avenue front of that park and with the statue of Baron von Steuben which is to be erected at the northwest corner of the park. It is stated on the authority of Col. Bromwell, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, that the erection of the Kosciuszko monument at the point indicated will not interfere in the least with the large American elm which stands at the northeast corner of the park. That tree is said to be the finest specimen of its kind in the District. The members of the Cosmos club, on the opposite corner, and others interested in the preservation of the tree secured a personal promise from President Roosevelt that the location of a monument at that corner would not be permitted to interfere in any way with the trunk or roots of the "grand old tree." Antonio Popiel, who designed the Kosciuszko monument, has a high reputation on the European continent as a sculptor and is the author of many artistic creations. He was born in Galicia, Austria, in 1865, and after completing a grammar school course studied at the art academies of Krakow, Vienna, Berlin, Florence and Paris. On completing his professional studies he was appointed professor of sculpture at the Imperial and Royal Polytechnic schools at Lemberg. He made many decorations in relief and several monuments at Lemberg and other cities in Poland. He won many prizes in artistic competitions, including the first prize among 20 competitors for the Kosciuszko monument. President Roosevelt took an active interest in the Kosciuszko competition, and it was on his strong personal recommendation that the award was given to Mr. Popiel's design. The figure of Kosciuszko, which is the leading feature of the monumental group, represents Kosciuszko in the uniform of a general in the United States army. He stands in an easy and natural position, his left hand resting on his sword and his right hand holding a scroll representing plans of a fortification. The figure is 11 feet high and will be cast in bronze. In addition to the statue proper, there will be two groups on opposite sides of the base, one representing Liberty and the other Bravery. These will be flanked by two hemispheres surmounted by eagles with outstretched wings. Mr. Popiel now has a studloat Chicago, where he is engaged in completing the monument. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design ing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis street. PAGE. 10. This is the "jlinin" season, and all the real political politicians, those who never overlook a bet to sink their teeth in anything that looks promising, are working overtime. Just t'other day large Mr. Taft became an honorary steam shovelman, a bit later smiling Mr. Bryan rode the goat—and so it goes. I once heard of a politician—and he wasn't exactly a national figure at that—who had joined so many different kinds of organizations—business, social, fraternal, political, mutual and otherwise—that if he'd had to pay his dues the total would have amounted to more than his annual income. But of course he didn't. Most of the organizations were glad to have his name on their rolls for the honor of the thing and let him in free for the purpose. And this politician never could remember grips and signs and passwords and things. He belonged to so many orders that he got 'em all mixed up. He was just as liable to give the Brother of Moses grip to a Son of a Gun and the Son of a Gun grip to a Master Joiner, and the Master Joiner's to a Son of Jehosophat, and so forth. So finally he got to the point when anybody came up to him and tried to give him a fraternal clutch he just backed away and wiggled his ears. And as that is Esperanto sign language common to all secret societies, he got away with it. Every fraternal brother thought him too humorous for anything, and he was elected to 57 offices, died in the public harness and the representatives of the 943 organizations to which he belonged took part in his funeral pageant.—Washington Star. Home of Vice-President Johnso On the corner of Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the post office department, in Washington, there stands to-day a modern hotel, and it occupies the site of what was once the pension office, when Gen. William W. Dudley was commissioner. Formerly, however, there stood on this site the Kirkwood house, one of the best hotels ever known in Washington. Its corridors were thronged by the most eminent statesmen, and by ladies of social glory in their day and generation. That old hostelry would have been preserved by any one of the countries of the old world; because it was the residence of Vice-President Andrew Johnson; and in a room facing the southwest corner Mr. Johnson took the oath of president of the United States within 15 minutes after President Lincoln had breathed his last. The Work of Mal. L'Enfant. L'Enfant, the architect who laid out Washington, was born in Paris in 1754 and educated in the profession of arms. He came to America during the progress of the revolution and served till Yorktown as a major of engineers in the continental army. One of his works was that of remodeling Federal hall, New York city, just prior to the meeting of congress there. He also designed the badge of the Order of the Cincinnati. Monument for L'Enfant. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have determined to exhume the remains of Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, which lie buried on the Riggs farm, Prince Georges county, Maryland, eight miles north of Washington, and to reinter them on the campus of the Catholic university. A monument will be placed over the new grave. THE DEMAND FOR AN EDUCATED MINISTRY. Realizing the demand among the negro people for an educated ministry, The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licentiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday School teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and 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 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. 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?

Representative Rodenberg of Illinois, who used to be a civil service commissioner in Washington, was in the city recently attending to some chores for his constituents. With him was Representative Charlie McGavin, also of Illinois, and during my brief streetcorner chat with the two of them Rodenberg happened to mention in an affectionate if somewhat patronizing sort of way, that he and McGavin used to go to school together "back home." After I had left them and strolled along for a block or so I heard the patter of feet behind me, and, swinging around, discovered McGavin all out of breath. "Sa—say," he panted, "you heard what Rodenberg said about going to school with me?" I admitted I had. "Well," said McGavin, with a nervous glance over his shoulder, "don't hold it up against me. My parents were good-hearted, but thoughtless." And then he chased back to where the unsuspecting Rodenberg was waiting for him.—Washington Star. Spring Under Capital Square. Beautiful landscape gardening makes Franklin Square one of the most attractive of the numerous breathing spaces of Washington and its green sward covers a splendid spring containing an inexhaustible supply of pure sparkling water, which was used for the tens of thousands of soldiers who encamped there and on the contiguous blocks of ground during the civil war; a spring which for more than half a century supplied the White House with cooking and drinking water, through wooden piping beneath the ground. Reorganizing Russian Navy. According to the Electrician, the committee appointed in connection with rebuilding of the Russian navy has decided to utilize the public contributions which have been subscribed for the purpose of rebuilding the warships in establishing wireless telegraph stations at 18 points on the Baltic coast line. Orders, it is said, have already been given for the equipments. ```markdown ``` COLORED HOTEL Mrs. H. Clay, Prop.

Springfield! Within thy fold, earthen embrace Reposes him, who through God's grace Brought joy to millions by one sweep Of his great hand. Today, we weep; As frenzied Passion halts before That monument which we adore And commits deeds more like a brute Than fiends from hell could execute; And they were heaped upon the race Made free by him in thy embrace. Springfield! We weep not for the helpless lives That in thy arms were sacrificed, But that Passion with frenzied tread Reveling above the sainted dead Murdering justice in its rage, Respecting neither sex nor age, Quenching its thirst with innocent blood While from its torch a fiery flood Comes forth with greed insatiate, Feasting on cot and mansion great, Compelling sane Reason to yield— 'Tis this for which we weep, Spring field. That revered name so linked with thine We cannot use in prose or rhyme Without a throbbing of the heart As though 'twere pierced by burning dart. A nation's tears could not atone Or wash away this stain. Alone, Must thou emerge from Passion's yoke And Reason's future aid invoke, So that thy future may be free From such vile deeds of savagry. And in the onward sweep of time We may connect his name with thine. SPRINGFIELD! How thick is that boasted veneer Called Civilization? Does it adhere When tempests rage? Or does it break While beastly lusts predominate And cultured men to savage yield? How thick is thy veneer, Springfield? HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Wilbur P. Thirkield, LL. D., President, Washington, D. C.

FOR CATALOG AND SPECIAL INFORMATION, ADDRESS DEAN OF DEPARTMENT. Historic House in Washington. West of the municipal building, on E street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, stands a cheap-looking brick house; almost a tumble-down affair today, says a Washington correspondent of the Los Angeles Times. Maybe it is well enough to let it fall into decay and be forever forgotten. There was the home of Sam Ward, long known as the "King of the Lobby." There politicians of note, many of them regarded as statesmen, gathered nightly to enjoy the terrapin and wine which Sam Ward knew how to prepare and dispense, with lavish hand and with princely demeanor. One of his guests was an attorney general, who was afterward secretary of state and United States senator. Another was the most eloquent member of the house of representatives, an accredited leader of the majority party, and afterward president of the United States. In those days, he wore Sam Ward's dress suits, and also wore his diamonds. If this house should not be preserved because it was the luring-place of Ward, who delighted in calling himself "Vestibuli Rex," it might be worthy of preservation because it was some time the home of the talented and patriotic woman who wrote "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

The Betsy Ross legend is quite harmless. Anybody may believe it who will. It is like the story of Washington and the cherry tree. Nobody 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 Parson Weems' long subsequent narrative. That is all that the historians appear to be asking about the Betsy Ross legend. They are not attacking the memory of that estimable woman, nor the veracity of her descendants. Family tradition is to be respected. But family tradition that is not supported by contemporary records or other historical evidence is an insufficient basis for an official indorsement that is supposed to be authoritative and conclusive. Nobody wishes to spoil a good story, but those who are satisfied with family traditions ought not to ask anything more.—Philadelphia Ledger. NOTICE. NOTICE. Anyone desiring Mme. C. J.

Commission Has Already Spent $25,000,000 in Much Needed Improvements—Slums Are to Be Put Out of Existence. Rapid progress has been made in the systematic beautification of Washington in the last five years, in accordance with the plans of the Burnham commission, which involves an ultimate expenditure of $50,000,000, of which nearly one-half has already been devoted to enhancing the aspect of several sections of the national capital. The splendid railway terminal, inferior to none on the globe; the huge senate and house office buildings, second in importance only to the capitol itself, with which they form an unsurpassed architectural group; the huge National museum and the department of agriculture near by in the Mall, and the superb library of congress, at last give definition of the comprehensive project for making the city that belongs to the whole country worthy of a great, progressive people. Within a few years from now Washington's chief slums, in the triangular tract from the capitol to the treasury, lying between Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall, will have given way to a chain of parks surrounding notable public buildings. The post office and the municipal building have already risen in this section, and congress at its last session appropriated $2,500,000 for acquiring another huge slice, upon which is to be erected a group of structures for the departments of state, justice and commerce and labor. The private owners of this property having failed to offer their holdings at reasonable prices, condemnation proceedings have been promptly instituted, and within another year it is hoped one of the glaring eyesores of the city, only a few hundred yards from the White House, will be obliterated. The expenditure now being judiciously made by the government will result in a vast annual saving of money, for the executive departments are now paying such extortionate rentals for office quarters that the new buildings will save their own cost within a decade. For many years the state department has been housed in the smallest corner of the edifice known as the state, war and navy building, although the two military arms of the government have gradually encroached on the state department until there is hardly space for an additional employee and little left but the name. Even some of the more important officials are compelled to transact delicate international matters within earshot of half a dozen persons, while the clerical force is actually without elbow room. The congestion also affects the war and navy departments, which has overflowed into a number of rented buildings, and both of these will welcome the day that Secretary Root, with the valuable archives, and assistants go to a home of their own. Of Little Faith. Many men do, not allow their principles to take root, but pull them up every now and then, as children do flowers they have planted, to see if they are growing.—Longfellow.

There was much applause during his address, so much that in some measure he had to ask that it stop so as not to encroach upon his time.

Where the Yellow Dog Made the Mistake of His Life. According to the traditions of a country known as the United States of America freedom is sweet, and according to various alleged nature fakers freedom is as sweet to a cat as to a man, writes a Washington correspondent. Minnie agrees with the nature fakers, and as Minnie is a cat, she should know. She has had an abundance of time in which to taste the bitters of servitude, and could she talk, she would say that the sweets of freedom make a delightful contrast. For nine long, cruel years Minnie has been in bondage, but her emancipation proclamation was signed when the law went into effect to muzzle all dogs in the streets of Washington. Minnie's masters—for she had not one, but many—were cruel, overbearing, and inhuman to an extent that would have made one Simon Legree, whose deeds have thrilled melodrama audiences for half a century, blush with shame for his lack of knowledge of the proper and most soul-rending methods of torture. During the aforementioned nine years every dog, or rather every cur and mongrel, whose habitat is known as the fish wharf, had used every method known among lower class canines to make Minnie miserable, and when it is known these same curs and mongrels live by their dog wits, therefore possessing more than ordinary intelligence, some idea may be gained of the extreme way in which Minnie suffered. Then came the law whereby every good-for-nothing or cat-killing dog was muzzled. And with the adoption of muzzles as a canine fashion their teeth were rendered practically useless, at least in the pursuit of their hereditary prey, the feline tribe. Minnie learned this about five seconds after she spied the first dog she had seen wearing a muzzle. He was a large yellow dog and vicious, having in his veins bull-dog blood. Seeing Minnie, Spike, the yellow cur, in accordance with a custom of years' standing, made a rush for the cat. According to custom Minnie should have made a hole in the atmosphere by bolting, leaving a little trail of fire behind her where her rapid exit burned the air; but Minnie, being possessed of a certain amount of curiosity, waited, and ran the risk of being mauled in the desire to learn about the funny-looking straps about the dog's mouth. Minnie waited. The dog came on, and as he ran toward the cat her back rose, her tail assumed a perpendicular position, and grew large, and the hair on her back and neck stood upright. She was a picture of fury incarnate. On came Spike, and as he rushed Minnie grew more angry. When the dog was ten feet away Minnie leaped straight upward, her paws extended and ready for action. As the dog passed beneath Minnie came down, 20 claws digging into the hide of the yellow dog. Spike's momentum carried him some distance, and before he could stop Minnie had used her opportunity to the best advantage. Spike, barking, howling and growling at one and the same time, increased his speed, but Minnie held on until far away from the field of battle, and then she jumped lightly to the ground and was up a tree before Spike missed her weight on his back. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. BUCHANAN AND THE COWBELL. Incident of President's Early Life Caused Political Feud. Rev. 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 fiercest 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. ∑ Is the best place for good Razors, Shears, Pocket Knives, Combs, Brushes, Pomades and all toilet articles at [Name] J.

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."

Nothing has been too gay for the stamp of their approval, and they have set a pace that the more conservative younger element has not dared to follow. Everybody knows them by sight, and their names have been synonymous for good times since each made her informal debut. None of the girls ever really "came out," because their belleship started long before the accustomed age for young girls to join the social ranks. The new Mrs. McLean is very young, but she has had probably a wider social experience than any other member of the quartet. Backed by her father's millions, she has been able to give any sort of entertainment her heart desired, and no figure has been too steep for her to pay when her fancy yearned for anything, from a new touring car to a fancy dress ball. Several years ago her love for speeding very nearly cost her life, and did sacrifice that of her only brother, Vinson Walsh. For many months afterward Evelyn was an invalid and it was feared that she would be lame for life. Some months after she had fully recovered, although she had been living quietly with her parents in the marble palace at Washington, a prominent society woman was driving slowly along Massachusetts avenue when she saw one of the liveried servants of the Walsh home assisting a young woman down the front steps. Every step was taken with the utmost care. The man supported the young woman and watched closely that she did not stumble or fall. The woman in the carriage, whose sympathies had been aroused for the young daughter of the millionaire, who, she thought, would have to go through life a cripple, was astounded when the man released his hold on the young woman's arm at the street curb and she went gliding off up the street on a pair of the latest model ball-bearing skates. Winter before last the Walshes gave a ball, principally for the friends of their daughter, which went down in the social history of Washington as quite the gayest event of its kind ever given at the capital. The tremendous gossip following the ball promised for a time to throw a damper on the masked balls here and rumor had it THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. that the Walshes would not return to Washington the following winter, but would remain abroad, where they had gone early in the spring. The Walshes did come back, nevertheless, and the big marble palace was again thrown open to society, but there were no more fancy dress balls. Mrs. McLean is of a distinct type of beauty, her complexion being very white and her hair coal black. She wears large plumed hats of an extreme fashion and is particularly partial to white. She is something of the Japanese type. Edward McLean, who started in to practice law last year, was not in the little parties given by the Walshes as often as some of the other eligible men of Washington, and consequently society was not prepared for the announcement of his engagement to Miss Walsh. Young McLean was the devoted attendant of the former Miss Alice Roosevelt until her marriage to Representative Nicholas Longworth. He had never, so far as the social sleuths could ascertain, paid really marked attention to any other of the younger girls. His acquaintance with his wife dates back several years. Their marriage means the union of many millions of dollars, as each is an only child. Antidote for Pneumonia. I first satisfied myself of the efficacy of my serum by experiments on animals. Then trials were made last winter in the St. Elizabeth and Stuyvenburg hospitals in Antwerp. Several of the patients had pneumonia in an advanced stage, and were also habitual drunkards, which always increases the gravity of the danger. In every case the serious symptoms were completely arrested within 36 hours, while the temperature and pulse again became normal. These results, says Dr. Bertrand of Antwerp in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, were obtained with a total dose of serum not exceeding eight cubic centimeters, injected 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 woman would tell a secret, do you?" "Well, I'll tell you. I was trying to get my hands over my 'Merry Widow' hat to attach the hat pin and my arms snapped off." And the statues laughed so hilariously that Mars awoke from his nap and grabbed his spear. Fine Writting. The art of fine writing is almost extinct, 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 specimen 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 for the portrait of worthy Mr. Snagsby in "Bleak House."—London Chronicle.

The Basest of Treachery Continued from Page One election. Strenuous efforts were made to have J. W. Jackson placed upon the legislative ticket, the editor of this paper being one who worked to that end. We assert that within a few days of the convention Mr. Jackson was slated for the nomination. His friends were jubilant. Suddenly out of the clear sky a thunderbolt came. A committee waited upon the head of the county political organization, and with this endorsement of Mr. Stuart as proof, asserted that the nomination of Mr. Jackson would mean that they would bolt the party and fight it at the polls. These facts we assert upon the evidence of the man to whom the committee went, and they are further corroborated by the testimony of one of the workers of the scheme. Mr. Stuart's cry of "Stop, thief!" is nicely calculated to divert suspicion from himself. We wish we could think him guiltless, but his evident malice in his newspaper attacks on Mr. Jackson, makes it not unlikely that he was a willing tool of the schemers who "knocked" the nomination of a colored man two years ago. Conclusive as the evidence seems to us, yet we do not wish to deprive him of opportunity to defend himself, and we therefore offer him space in these columns for any reply by way of explanation or apology which he wishes to make. The News and the Times, the papers of Senator Patterson, are entitled to the thanks and support of Negroes of Colorado for their very fair exposition of the philosophy of the Springfield riots. We expect much of Senator Patterson in the way of encouragement in our struggles and are never disappointed. The riots in Springfield, Ill., have sent a chill to the hearts of struggling Negroes. Race hatred and persecution seems to know no state, no section, nor does it attempt to exempt any class of us. With the accused criminal in jail, and no excuse of delay on the part of the officers of the law, the very fact that he was a Negro served to incite riots whereby innocent Negroes, home-owning, industrious Negroes are mobbed. Justice --- PAGE.8. SPRINGFIELD. KLIN, Editor. ARMS. months .....$1.00 Three months .....$ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. is shamed in Illinois. Not justice as administered in the courts, but the love of fair play of which the Anglo-Saxon delights to boast. The Armenian massacres wrought up the feelings of the people of this country, until their protest was merged into a mighty roar which was heard across the waters. We do not hope for such a result from the Springfield riots any more than we did from the Atlanta riots, but we do hope that the still small voice of conscience will speak. With laws that give no excuse for mob violence, Illionis joins hands with Georgia. Truly is it said that the race problem is THE national problem and knows no section or race. It is the one striking phase of industrial competition where reason fails and blind prejudice prevails. Happily it holds out this hope, that it seems to attest in its growing intensity, the reality of our progress. While we may not look to law therefore for relief, while popular government does not even offer us security of lives and property, we can console ourselves with the knowledge that every such conflict as that at Springfield teaches us more and more the lesson of self-reliance, which after all, is the perfection of equipment for competition in this country.
