WYOMING'S RETURN OF METROPOLIS BROTHER IN BLACK FRANKLIN'S PAPER TWENTIETH YEAR WYOMING'S ME CHEYENNE, WYOMING. Cheyenne, Wyo., is still on the map. Yes, even after Frontier days. Glorious old Frontier. My, butt did we not all have a good time. There were so many Denver visitors that even "old Cheyennes" were sometimes puzzled to know where they were—in Denver, Colo., or "old Cheyenne." We are sorry to report that R. Nolle Smith, who is suffering with a severe attack of typhoid fever, was unable to resume his studies at Lincon, Neb. At present writing he is quite ill. Mrs. Ishmael Palmer departed September 1st for her old home in Ohio, where she will spend at least three months visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Cora Brown, accompanied by her three little ones, took her departure for Atchison, Kan., a few days ago, where she will spend several weeks visiting. Miss Bertie Larkins departed Tuesday morning for Washington, D. C., where she will resume her studies at Howard University. During Miss Larkins' stay in her home, she was the recipient of many social favors given in her honor. The most recent was a theater party at which Miss Macle Smith was hostess. Other guests in atttendance were the Misses Kathryn Turner and Rosetta Brown of Iowa. The opening of school has turned our minds to our June graduates. Cheyenne boasts of one young lady, Miss S. Kathryn Thistle, who is scheduled to finish her studies at the High school. Miss Thistle, while a faithful and earnest student in her school work, is possessed of many admirable qualities, being an accomplished pianist. She is also gifted with a remarkable voice of much sweetness and quality of tote. Miss Lena B. Hopkins was the charming hostess at a very enjoyable affair given at her pleasant home two weeks ago. After an enjoyable round of whist, a most appetizing chafing dish luncheon was served by the hostess, who was assisted by her charming sister, Miss Eva. Those enjoying DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19 1908 the hospitality of Miss Hopkins were, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Gaskin, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ashford, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lucas, the Misses Rosetta Brown and Kathryn Turner, and Messrs. Wm. Ashford, Jr., Hugh Hopkins and Curlie A. Ward. Presiding Elder J. H. Hubbard occupied the pulpit in Allen's A. M. E. church and delivered himself of two powerful and inspiring sermons. The services were all well attended and Elder Hubbard expressed himself as delighted with the reports, and the progress of the church in every particular. Rev. H. H. Jones, our efficient pastor, is quite busy these days gathering in his conference claims and in other ways preparing for conference. Rev. Jones has proved himself an earnest worker and a faithful and conscientious Christian and has won many friends. Miss Marguerite Jackson, one of Denver's most charming young ladies, was very pleasantly entertained during the Frontier celebration at the home of Miss Lillian Jefferson, one of Cheyenne's fairest. Miss Jackson was also a welcome guest at the home of Mrs. E. F. Lander. Both Miss Jefferson and Mrs. Lander entertained in honor of Miss Jackson, Miss Jefferson at a very enjoyable "Progressive party," and Mrs. Landor at dinner. Other hostesses of the progressive luncheon were the Misses Eva B. Hopkins and S. Katthryn Thistle, Mrs. H, C. Jefferson made a pleasant chaperone. Mrs. Landor's guests at dinner were the guest of honor, Miss Jackson, the Misses Kathryn Turner and Rosetta Brown, and one thorn in the bunch of roses, Mr. Orlander Gaskin. Educational day at the A. M. E. church was very fittingly observed a week ago last Sabbath evening. Mrs. C. G. Ashford, the president of the Christian Endeavor, delighting the audience by presenting to them the Hon. W. C. Deming, one of Cheyenn's leading citizens, and editor of the Wyoming Tribune, one of the leading newspapers in the west, who delivered a very interesting address on "Value of An Education." The features of the Continued on page 12 State Historian & Natural History Society TURDAY SEPTEMBER 19 1908 RETURN OF BROTHER The events of the past week in politics might well be called "The Return of the Brother in Black." For of no less significance is the part that has bee nplayed by negroes in the various conventions. Beginning Saturday morning, when the Republican state convention stood while the divine guidance was invoked by Rev. J. W. Brown of Ward Mission, down to the nomination of Thomas Campbell for the legislature by the Denver county legislative convention, and continuing now even to the Democratic legislative convention—if reports be true—the part played by colored voters is far greater than for some years. In the state convention there were present as delegates J. V. Cammell of Colorado Springs; Lawyer Townsend and J. J. Jennings of Pueblo; J .W. Jackson, Mrs. Mary Holmes, Thomas Campbell and C. A. Franklin. The spectacular features of the convention, such as the seating of the Denver delegation, the nomination of the various state officers, the adoption of the state platform, one and all were less indicative of the proper disposition of the rank and file of the Republican party toward the negro, than the respectful attention and hearty commendation that was given to the black man who stood in the holy of holies for that grathering. In like manner the nomination of Thomas Campbell in the county convention, composed of the Denver delegates to the state convention, was more than a personal appreciation of one man. It seemed to be a pleasure for the delegates to vote for the nomination of a real Abraham Lincoln Republican. Seconds to his nomination were made by various delegates, all in the hearty manner that bespeaks honest conviction, and the generous comment that flowed through the hall as his identity was sought, gave all the assurance necessary that the white men who are Republicans embrace kindlier sentiments toward us than some persons would have us believe. As a still further evidence of the return of the negro to consequence in politics in this country, can be cited the offer of nomination on the legislative ticket by the Purks convention Thursday of Dr. P. E. Spratlin. Once and again he was offered this honor but refused to allow his name to be used. If further proof was needed that better days are ahead for us in politics, it is furnished by the attitude of Denver Democracy on the nomination --- FIVE CENTS A COPY IN BLACK of a colored man on their legislative ticket. The assertion can be made upon the best of authority that the ticket to be nominated will contain the name of a colored man, for such a profer has already been made to one colored Democrat and is under consideration. THE MAN BEHIND THE PROMISE. After the state convention has adjourned and the delegates have gone home to the people who sent them, the power they have is left in the hands of the state chairman. It is upon him the responsibility largely rests to see that the party promises are kept, for the candidates themselves—at least in theory—no longer represent a party, but stand for the whole people. Past pledges and future success, therefore, in a peculiar degree depend upon the state chairman. Colorado is fortunate in having as the choice for the next two years, as for the past two, John F. Vivian of Jefferson county. These are days when party newspapers are full of praise for party men, and we hope to be spared the imputation that in some such spirit we speak a word of Mr. Vivian. It is because we know him to be a man that merits public confidence, and because the faith which the people have in the promises party are essential to its success, that we speak of the man behind the promise. Governors and legislatures sometimes get above the people and forget that they are representative officers, but Mr. Vivian, in his capacity as chairman, seems always to remember that he is "central" for the great telephone system that has every member of the party in Colorado as a subscriber. He may be depended upon to speak whenever it is necessary. It was the magnificent results that have accrued to us that speak in higher terms of him than can any words of ours. It is the kind of man that he is that has brought to him the wonderful testimonial of the people's regard of being mentioned for the United States Senate, an honor which in these days is generally believed beyond the reach of a poor man. And this comes without even the announcement of his candidacy. So it is that his personality has made him strong with the party, and so it is that we predict success for the Republican ticket in this state, because of its candidates, the promises in its platform and the man behind the promise. --- aa EEE ARMY RINGS L)i. PRODUCING CHIMES IS SACRED MEXICAN VOCATION Two Thousand Men in Mexico City Alone Are Regularly Employed— No Need to Carry Time- piece There. the church bells going in Mexico. It is estimated that in Mexico City alone there are more than 2,000 bell ringers. This is the number regularly erm- ployed. On days of religious celebra- tions the number is augmented, as the ringing of the bells must be kept up -almost constantly through the day and night on such occasions. One of the most striking features of Mexican life to the casual visitor is the noise of the church bells. Every little hamlet and many of the ranches in the coun- try have one or more Catholic churches, and each is equipped with one or more bell towers. The great cathedral which stands near the Nz tional Palace in Mexico City has 16 of these towers. In some towns the constant ringing of the church bells is prohibited by the local authorities. The sounding of the bells is permitted once or twice every hour. Some churches toll the quarter hours and others toll every five minutes. Most of the churches in Mexico City toll the quarter, half and hours. The profession of bell ringing is looked on by the lower classes as be- ing honorable and distinguished. The bell ringers are reverenced as being an adjunct of the clergy. The bell ringers themselves are usually proud of their work. In many cases this place in a church is handed down from father to son through generation after generation. The towers of the large cathedrals are spacious, and are frequently fitted with rooms which are occupied by the bell ringers and their families. Here, far above the noise of the trafiic of the streets below, the faithful toilers of the bells live a peaceful life, seem- ingly unmindful of the crashing noise which constantly resounds about their very heads. They are away from the other noises of the city, but are in the midst of the bell clangings, which go on al] through the days and nights. “How can you sleep, with all this noise about you?” was recently asked the wife of a bell ringer in one of the cathedral towers. “It is not the noise of the bells that I mind,” she replied. “I hear their ringing without knowing it, but it is the clanging of the street car gongs in the street below that disturbs my slumbers.” All of the church bell ringing in "Mexico is done by hand. Some of the bells are of ponderous size and great weight. To operate them requires the exercise of powerful muscles and much bodily strength. The use of clockwork or electrical machinery to operate the many bells in the great cathedral in Mexico City has been considered from time to time, but the preponderance of sentiment of the church authorities has been against such an innovation. The bell ringers are divided into day and night shifts. They are re- quired to toll the hours with preci- sion. It is not necessary to carry a watch in Mexico unless one is travel- ing in the country, out of sound of the church. bells. At any hour. day or THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. night, @ person can learn tne time by listening to the tolling of the bells. Many of the bells which hang in the chureh towers of Mexico were brought from Spain in the early days of Span- ish rule. Some of them contain large amounts of precious metals, which sive them a clear, rich tone. The bell ringers take great pride in their bells, and much care and attention are ziven to keeping them well burnished and their parts oiled and always in a state of good renair Getting Out of Tight Place. When the late William Windom secretary of the treasury, dropped dead at a chamber of commerce din- ner in New York some years ago, just as he was speaking, there were but two reporters present, says the Sat- urday Evening Post. The others had written their stories, sent down their copy and the text of the speeches, and gone to more interesting places. In one newspaper office the news did not get in until a minute before time for going to press. Two columns of Win- dom’s speech were in type in the form. As it was too late to make over and eatch the mails, an enterprising ed- itor wrote: “The Hon. William Win- dom dropped dead at the chamber of commerce dinner last night. If he had not dropped dead he would have spoken as follows:” Thus it stood un- til they could make over. Increasing Our Ills. It is rather surprising to hear that a German doctor who has drawn up a list of all the diseases to which the human body is liable has returned the number of them as only 1,100. Any one among whose acquaintance there is an amateur invalid would have sup posed that there were many more ways of being ill than that. One thou- sand one hundred is a poor figure for these times, too. With all the advance made in medicine in the past century, one expects something in six figures at least. Still, the number of diseases known is mounting steadily. There are already dozens of ailments, from sleeping sickness to tennis clbow, that our fathers never had. Railway Apprentice Schools. The New York Central railroac maintains nine apprentice schools along its lines where workmen are trained for the shops of the company. These apprentices are paid from 12 to 20 cents an hour, according to the length of time which they have served, and upon serving three years satisfac- torily get a diploma, after which the pay is 32 cents on hour. The nine schools had 400 pupils last year, and the cost of their operation was $17,000. They are presided over by a superin- tendent of apprentices, whose entire time is given to this work. He maps out the course of instruction and at- tends to all the details of the operation of the schools. Extinct Sea Elephant. The latest large animal to become extinct, the California sea elephant (Macrorhinus angustirostris), is a spe- cies belonging to the seal family, and the male had a tubular proboscis that could be elongated and dilated. Speci- mens taken to England a few months ago by Walter Rothschild’s collectors are the last. Yhey were taken on the island of Guadaloupe, off the coast of southern California, and will be pre- served in the London Natural History museum and elsewhere. Until now no museum has had an adult male specimen, Cut on the Heaa. At the Saturday matinee of “Th: Three Twins,” an imposing youus woman wearing a pongee creation of the near-sheath type swept down tiie aisle, drawing all eyes after her, says the New York Times, It was not her gown, however, that was the attrac tion, even in this era of hectic in- terest in everything directoire, but as t was during an intermission and she had doffed her hat her coiffure eclipsed every other feature of her toilet. Her hair was all swept into an enormous pompadour which, how- ever, draped the back of her head in- stead of crowning her brow. A mild little country visitor, whose own locks were trimly combed togeth- er and screwed into a tight little knob on top of her head, stared Jong at the receding young woman's coiffure, and then remarked to her neighbor, who, by the way, was a total stranger to her: “My goodness gracious! If she were born with a thing like that on her head she'd have it operated on!” Home of Vice-President Johnson. 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. Wil- liam W. Dudley was commissioner. Formerly, however, there stood on this site the Kirkwood house, one of the best hotels ever known in Wash- ington. 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; be- cause it was the residence of Vice- President Andrew Jolinson; 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. “De Natcné: wey.” A rich northerner walking about in a southern negro settlement came upon a house around which several children were playing. Seeing that the family was destitute, he called the oldest negro boy and gave him a dol- lar, telling him to spend it for a Christmas turkey. As soon as the generous man had gone, the negro woman called the boy to her and said: “Thomas, yo’ gimme dat dollah anc go git dat turkey in the natchel way.’ The English Character. We English pride ours .ves upon yeing hard-headed and practical peo ple, though, as a matter of fact, we are just the reverse. In politics we are the slaves of catchwords. In mor- als we exhibit all the gusty passion of the prude. In philanthropy we are swayed by fits of emotionalism, but are callous to real need when the emo. tional fit is absent.—Sheffield Tele graph. Municipal Brewery’s Loss, A municipal brewery, started in Vienna a year or two ago, has proved a very disastrous investment for the taxpayers. Nearly £400,000 is in- vested in the concern, and last year the working resulted in a loss of £18, 900. This was in spite of the fact that the sales of beer largely in- creased, the total output for the year rising to 2,750,000 gallons, LADIES’ TAILORING. Fashionable fressmaking, design- ing. Mrs, I.

The name, he says, was undoubtedly Grosskupf (great head), just as his mother’s fam- ily must originally have been Bauer- meister, although she was known as Susannah Bowermaster. Among the. Anglicized names in this class a\ Remenschneider (strap cutter), which became Rimensnyder; Rindskopt (bullhead) was changed to Rinskorf; Wannemacher (tubmaker), Wana maker; Krankheit (sickness), Cronk hite; (Loewentritt (tread of the lion), Leventritt, and Knoblauch (garlic), Knoblock. The Pope as a Newspaper Reader. Pope Pius is a firm believer in newspaper reading. iHs favorites are two provincial sheets, Venice Difesa and Vicenza Verico. The latter pa per he has read nearly e'l his life When he became patrfarch of Venice he happened to make the acquaintance of the editor of Difésa, then a strug gling daily. The editor's views pleased his eminence, and hearing of the edit or’s high character, he offered him his aid. The patriarch’s liberality and active support soon gave the Difesa a very wide circulation, and it is now so profitable that it is regarded as one of the most solid institutions of the great city. New Source of Wealth. The tests in the gas producer at the government plant have shown that many fuels of such low grade as to be practically valueless for steam furnace purposes, including slack coal, bone coal and lignite, may be economically converted into producer gas and may thus generate sufficient gas power to render them of high commercial value. In this way lignite beds underlying from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 acres of public lands, heretofore supposed to have little or no commercial value, are shown to have a large value for power development. This is of importance to the west and makes possible a great industrial development. A Violin Virtuoso. In a recently published biography of Mischa Elman, the violinist, the writer says: “The boy came honestly by his love for music, for his mother and his maternal grandfather were good vio linists. When he was four years old he begged for a violin, and one was bought to please the child. Two days after he had received what his par- ents gave him as a toy he ran to his father, who was a school teacher, and said: ‘Listen, I can play your waltz.’ His father took him to the next meet ing of the village orchestra—it con- sisted of six pleces—and the boy played the waltz and another like one who had had years of experience.” Easy Street. Easy street is a busy thoroughfare People are moving on and off it every day. Only those who are contented with what they have remain, and the permanent tenants are few. There are some smooth roads leading to Fasy street, but people who travel them as a rule, are restless. They want more and their efforts to get more land them once again on the highways of toil and distress. The rough, stony paths leading to Basy street are after all the safest roads. They are the byways that are lined with the flowers of content and un selfishness.—Detroit Free Press. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. A Chance to Buy a Pagoda. In the year 770 A. D. the Emperor Koken caused a million pagodas to be made. They were little objects of wood, only four and a half inches high. Into each was inserted a tiny scroll with a verse of the Sutras inscribed thereon, and the whole number were then handed over to the temple Horyuji at Nara. In the course of centuries these relics gradually became dispersed or were destroyed by fire, until only 3,000 remained, and the ancient temple, being now in financial straits, offers one of these pagodas with its inclosure to any person sufficiently charitable to subscribe 35 yen.—Japan Weekly Mail. Sees Change in Temperature Europe is growing colder, says Mr. Camille Flammarion, the French astronomer. He declares that from actual figures recently obtained he has become certain that the temperature of Europe has been falling. France has been suffering for a long time from an excess of cold weather, the temperature at Paris having been one degree below the normal. Other readings show even less favorable results. The fall is more noticeable in the spring that at other periods of the year. Similar conditions are recorded in England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria and Germany.

Beatrice, aged five, spent the day playing with Tommy, her little four-year-old neighbor. When she was ready to go home she hugged and kissed Tommy, against his tearful protestations.

Little Margaret was enduring a visit from her boisterous cousins from the west. One evening after the children said their prayers, their talk turned on heaven.

Sensitiveness of Earth. The invention of the seismograph for the study of earthquakes has led to the discovery of the surprising sensitiveness of the crust of the globe to forces that might have been thought too insignificant to cause distortion. Among these forces is the alteration in the pressure of the atmosphere during the passage of storms, causing a perceptible tilting of large areas of ground. Prof. Amori of Japan declares that a storm which passed over the sea east of Tokyo recently caused the bordering land to tilt downward, notwithstanding the fact that the sea rises with release of atmospheric pressure, and the accumulation of water more than sufficed to counterbalance the decrease in weight of the air.

Lan dor, vocalist, and by Mrs, Dr. Lucas, dramatic reader, rendered a_ very pleasing musical at the, Second Bap tist church the latter part of August. Miss Burton possesses wonderful ¢ al- ent and we predict for her a brilliant frture as a concert pianist. On Sep- tember 12th Miss Burton passe through Cheyenne to Washington, D C., where she will enter Howard Uni versity to complete her musical educa tion. Mrs. E. F. Landor went to Laramie, Wyoming, September 1st, where she assisted Miss Carrie Burton in a musi- cal rendered at the University Audi- torium. The following is a clipping from the society notes of the Laramie Republican, which contained, on ac- count of the concert: “The benefit recital tendered Tuesday evening to Miss Carrie Bur- ton by her Laramie friends and ad- mirers was successful in every way, the audience being appreciative and enthusiastic. The program as pub- lished in these columns was pleasing: ly rendered and the performers were warmly applauded, being compelled to respond to frequent encores. Miss Burton was at her best and her audi- tors expect great things from her when she returns from Washington. Possibly her most popular aie, was ‘The Last Hope,’ (Gottschalk) | which she interpreted with rare feel- ing and delicacy. Mrs. E. F. Landor of Cheyenne, assisted Miss Burton, and that the audience appreciated ‘Wyoming’s Black Patti, who was heard here for the first time, was evi- denced by the warmth of her recep- tion, Mrs. Landor’s high, sweet so- prano voice has that haunting melody peculiar to her race, and one drifts. on its soft cadences to the dreamy land of mocking birds and magnolia blooms. It must certainly be a great | source of satisfaction to Mrs. Landor and to Prof. Rickel and the members of the orchestra which rendered num- bers under his direction that they have been instrumental in assisting their talented young friend in her am- bition to perfect herself in music. Over $50 was cleared from the con- cert and Miss Burton expects to leave for Washington the latter part of next week where she will study two years at Howard University. The G. U. O. O. Fy and the H. H. R. were honored last Tuesday evening by a visit from their highly respected District Grand Mastter, W. H. Wads- worth of Pueblo, Colo. Mr. Wads- worth was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor. After the re- gular Lodge business had been dis- penced with, the two orders listened to a very interesting and encourag- ing address from Mr. Wadsworth, who spoke in a happy vein. Through the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Wm. Redd, the M. N. G of the H. H. R., the sur- prise of the evening was sprung by the members of the two Lodges being cordially invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Landor, where a dainty re-. past, the hospitality of the members, of the H. H. R. awaited them. The invitation was graciously accepted and a large and merry crowd wended thelr way to the place appointed, where a delightful evening was spent.

Wadsworth, the D. G. M. of the G. U. O. O. F. After a drive around the city, one out to Fort Russell, the chauffeurs were in- structed to drive to the home of Mrs. Smith, where a most appetizing luncheon awaited them. Mr. Wads- worth, before leaving the city, ex- pressed himself as highly pleased with Cheyenne and its hospitality, and desires through the columns of the Statesman to express his appre- ciation for all kindness shown him.

With tomorrow the work of the year in the Methodist churches of this city will come to a close. We have many reasons to feel proud of the showing of the churches of this denomination during the past year. At Shorter church, which is the largest in the West, every department of the work has been maintained at top notch down to the dollar money and the usual loyal spirit of the church and its friends may be depended upon to bring this up within the few days re- maining. It is rare for a minister new to the conference, to say nothing of being new to the city where he is as- signed, to take closer hold upon the affections of his people than has Rev. Ward. In his personality he combines the qualities that make for stronger secular life among his associates as well ag for higher spiritual life in the church. We trust his year will be fin- ished ag it was begun. Rey.

Veneer answered the death summons after an illness of one month, at the residence of Miss Florence Taylor. Mr. Veneer was 46 years of age and was raised in Chicago. For 30 years the deceased had been engaged in hotel business in Chicago where, with overwork, the severe cliff caused his health to break. Mrs. Veneer came to Las Vegas Sunday to be with her husband in his last days, but it was too late. In her loss the sympathy of many friends go out to the bereaved wife and family. The remains, accompanied by the wife, were shipped from Johnson & Son's parlors yesterday to Chicago, Ill., home of the deceased. Rev. Bates preached a grand sermon Sunday night, after which three came forward and joined. The entertainment given at the A. E. church Thursday night, under the auspices of Misses Blanch and Beula Dunlap, Mrs. Wm. Rice and Mrs. John Calloway and the young men of this city was grand. A watermelon social was given Friday night under the auspices of Mr. Wm. Rice and committee. Everybody reported a grand time and plenty of melons to eat. Miss Lulu Brown, who brought her brother here from Galena, Kans., to Las Vegas the 2nd of July, with the hope of restoration of his health, returned home Monday, realizing the altitude was too high and he seemed to grow weaker. Brown's Chapel, A. M. E. church, is progressing nicely with four additions since quarterly meeting. Miss Florence Taylor is suffering with a very severe attack of neuralgia. Mr. George Nance was married to Miss Lucinda Johnson Monday. Who will be the next? Mr. Chas, Edwards of Santa Fe and Miss Fannie Mims of Albuquerque were joined in holy matrimony a few days ago by Rev. B. F. Bates. Mr. H. Y. Span is out in the mountains hunting rabbits and squirrels. COLORADO STUDENTS GO TO WESTERN UNIVERSITY. With Master Raymond Crummer having gone Sunday, Miss Eva Jones on Monday, Miss Ethel Minor on Wednesday and Mr. Edward Plummer on the 25th inst., and the great crowd of students outside of the city, will make this year the banner year for Colorado students not only in numbers but honors and achievements as well. The Colorado boys have determined to lead in football and track athletics, literary societies and the religious auxiliaries, while the girls will take care of the vocal and musical training. All the students seemed delighted to get back to Western and meet the old familiar faces of their chums and associates. The Colorado parents do not expect their sons and daughters to take any back seats. Denver Locals Miss Susie Hall, who lately arrived from St. Louis and Springfield, Mo., came just in time to take her place in the East Denver High school. The None Such club has given the Western University a student each year for the last three years. Who will go this year, boys? Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the secretary of the Freedman Aid Society of the M.

HOLMES, Pastor. New Explosive Agency. A new discovery in the ignition of explosives is creating great interest in Germany, where its use is increasing. It has been found that an alloy of iron and cerium, or any other of the rare earths (such as are used in the manufacture of gas mantles) will create luminous sparks on being struck by some metal tool, such as a knife-edge or a file, the sparks being sufficient to ignite not only gas, but even a wick saturated with alcohol, naphtha, etc. It is claimed that these iron alloys are efficient in igniting all sorts of explosives, the utility varying according to the percentage of iron. Her Telephone Hour. A girl whose engagements are many and who is therefore out a good deal has established a telephone hour. In this way her friends are always sure of catching her on the wire, and she comes in for many unexpected good times that otherwise might be missed. Until she did this it was almost impossible to get her. Now if she is not at home at the telephone time she calls up the house and tells her maid where she may be reached. The arrangement works to a charm, she says, and nothing would induce her to go back to the haphazard fashion of any and no time. Toxin of Baldness. A crystalline body that he calls trichotoxin is regarded by Dr. Delos L. Parker as an active agent in producing baldness. It is carried in the lungs, and it can be detected in the exhaled air. The fact that females—who breathe more fully—are less affected with baldness than males is cited as evidence supporting the theory. It is concluded that persons who are losing their hair should practice breathing exercises, and the investigation seems to have shown further that turpentine is superior to the usual remedies as a local application. Steepest Railway in the World. What claims to be the steepest railway line in the world is that recently opened near Bozen, in the Tyrol. The Meudet railway, with a gradient of 64 in 100, and the Vesuvian with 63, have hitherto held the record. But the new line in its steepest parts rises 70 in 100, and in other parts 66. It leads up the mountain side to Virgl Terrace, on the River Eisack. The system employed is that of the electrical wire rope, and the ascent is made at the rate of five feet a second, or five minutes for the whole distance. Money Wasted.

Through the united efforts of the members of the Second Baptist church (colored) of Cheyenne, the intimate friends of Mr. Philip Crutchfield will be pleased to know that he is now an ordained minister of the Gospel. Mr. Crutchfield was licensed to preach about two years ago by the above church and has worked indefatigably since, lending his financial support, moral courage and ministerial services free of charge. Two weeks ago at a business meeting of the church, one of its members, Rev. A. I. Lucas, suggested a procedure that resulted in the action following, to-wit: The Great Western Missionary Baptist Association of Colorado and Jurisdiction. The Central Baptist Church of Denver Colorado, Sept. 1st, 1908. "A council was called at 3:30 p. m. in this church to examine Bro. P. C. Crutchfield, of Cheyenne, for ordination. Rev. E. Roy was elected chairman and Rev. J. B. Beckham secretary. Reading from the Scripture by Rev. Fugett; Bro. B. J. Catlett lead in song and prayer was offered by Bro. T. D. Perkins. Rev. A. E. Reynolds, pastor of Zion Baptist church, was elected catechiser. After a thorough examination and careful consideration of the applicant, the council unanimously recommended that the church set Bro. P. C. Crutchfield apart to the Gospel ministry. Rev. J. B. Beckham preached the ordination sermon; Rev. Reynolds delivered the charge; Rev. 60 Your Wraps Checked The Best Time of your life All you can Eat and Drink That's just what THURSDA East Tu Annual Ball an FOR YOUNG AND OLD Go and rejoice afterwards, stay tively the last time in 1908.

He sat down and looked helplessly at the glowing coals in the grate, with the feeling that every breath he drew was a mortifying and ghastly blunder. “As you were about to say, Mr. Johnson,” resumed the young lady, “there are times when it seems to all of us we must speak what is in our minds.” “Yes,” vaguely answered the bewil- dered youth, as he tried to remember when he had begun to say anything of the kind. “Yes, of course.” “And while I am not so sure I ought to listen to you, Mr. Johnson,” she said, with downcast eyes, “when you speak to me in this—this personal matter, yet—” The young man could feel his pulse beat a tattoo on the drums of his ears, but he sat like a boy with his master’s eye upon him and said noth- ing. “By the way,” exclaimed Miss Stev- ens, presently, “I have a new book of engravings, Mr. Johnson, that I am sure you will enjoy seeing. It is a large book, and you'll have to move your chair. Yes, you can sit here with me on the sofa. I never thought of that.” The pictures danced before the eyes of the young man in blurred, confused imag&. “Isn't this engraving of the ‘Court- ship of Florence Dombey and Walter Gay’ perfectly lovely?” “Wh-which is Walter?” he gasped. “There! Look closer! Don't you see him?” “Wh—who's he courting?” “You'll have to come closer, Mr. Johnson. I declare, though’—and she looked archly at the trembling youth —I am almost afraid to let you come any nearer. You look exactly like Wal- ter in the picture.” And then the arm of the helpless young man stole in a timid, apologet- ic, sneaking way round the waist of the charming Miss Stevens, her head sank upon his shoulder and the book of engravings fell neglected to the Aloor. “Samuel,” she said an hour later, as yhe toyed with the button of his coat “you bold boy! How on earth did you ever muster courage to ask me to become your wife?

The Tampa Times, in an editorial on the commercial discovery of a new kind of orange on account of the medicinal value of the rind in mala rial diseases, makes a suggestion. “This is remindful of the orange leaf tea used by the housewives of Florida in the earlier days as a corrective for malaria. There is no doubt of its ex. cellence as a tonic, and it is quite possible that the rind of the sour and wild oranges might be made use- ful along the same line. Tea made from the fresh leaves of lemon sprouts is of most excellent effect as a tonic and anti-periodic, and steps ought to be taken to provide supplies of it for the public.” Those who have once ex- perienced the benefit of this old-time household remedy are aware of its value. It is a pity that its efficiency should not be more widely known.— Palm Beach News. The Armenian Alphabet. An Armenian girl goes to school at four or five years old, but before that she has probably learned her “letters,” which is almost an education in it- self, as the Armenian alphabet con- tains 39. She learns these letters from a smail slab of wood on which they are printed. This slab is fastened to a handle, making it something like a hair brush in shape. The Armenians boast that thetr formidable alphabet is so perfect as to give every sound known to any other nation.—Girls’ Own Paper. The Happiest People. The happiest people in the worla are those who still retain something of the child’s creative faculty of imagination, which makes atmosphere and color, and sun and shadow, and boundless horizons out of what seems to prosaic wisdom most inadequate material—a tuft of grass—a mossy rock; the rainpools of a_ passing shower, a glimpse of sky and cloud, a waft of west wind, a bird's flutter and song.—Whittier.

Time's Changes Recognized According to ancient British law the sovereign shall not leave the kingdom without the consent of both houses of parliament. In ancient times the absence of the king was met by the appointment of an officer called the "justiciar." This officer was afterward superseded by the appointment of lords justices under the great seal, but none has been commissioned since 1821. In 1845, when Queen Victoria was about to visit Germany, Lord Campbell urged that lords justices should be appointed according to constitutional practice, but the lord chancellor (Lord Lyndhurst) convinced the house that this was no longer necessary, owing to the modern facilities of communication. This has served as a precedent ever since. Whale Caught in Salmon Trap. Whale Caught in Salmon Trap. Dynamite is being used to kill a finback whale which entered the salmon trap of W. A. Lowman at Smallpox bay, San Juan island. The mammal entered the trap with a young calf and in attempting to drive it out the calf was killed with a rifle shot. The body sank and the cow refused to desert its offspring. The whale viciously attacks every boat that approaches An attempt to kill the whale by rifle fire was tried yesterday, but without effect. Fears are entertained that the beast may destroy the trap in her rage. She is 40 feet in length. More than $2,000 worth of fish a day has been lost to the packers through the capture of the whale.—Bellingham Correspondence Portland Oregonian. A Unanimous Vote. A German-American who had recently arrived at the estate of riches attended his first banquet. The wine was particularly vile, and so several gentlemen who were seated near the German were quite satisfied to have him empty the bottles that had been set apart for their common use. Neither the quality nor the quantity of the wine in the least disturbed the Teuton, and, after draining the last glass, he looked around jovially and said: "Shentlemen, I haf now drunken all your wine, and safed you the trouble of trinking vat you did not like. I tink you ought to vote me a public tank." They did.—Lippincott's. Fought with Savage Bat. Charles Gideon of Philadelphia was aroused the other day by some creature biting his legs. He yelled for help and William Saddler, a fellow-boarder, went to his assistance. The men fought the creature, which flew about the room, giving fight until they succeeded in killing it. An investigation proved it to be a bat, measuring 18 inches between its outstretched wings. Gideon was severely nipped about the limbs and face. New Railroad Expensive. G. P. O'Neal, right-of-way agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, is authority for the statement that the cost of construction of the road between Taft and St. Joe, 60 miles, will be $11,400,000. There will be 35 tunnels on this piece of road. Poor Theatrical Season.

Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., was in our city Sunday and preached some rousing sermons to the different Baptist churches of the city. His sermons were full of the latest theories and vital substantial matters so closely connected with our present-day life. His breadth in dealing with the "alls" of the Bible, his forceful and convincing logic reasoned so well and his easy manner of delivery clearly demonstrated that he was a student of what is called "New Thought," "Mentalism" and "Limitless Life." Rev. Ford is more than a Baptist minister. He is a live man, resourceful, hard-working and broad-minded enough to go outside of his church limitations to properly develop his faculties. This is as it ought to be, for the seeker of the Truth ought to be able to tell it wherever he saw it and then have the courage of his conviction. It was a glorious sermon at Zion at night to a packed house. Some very pointed, timely and necessary truths were expounded which will do the whole church good. THE ALLIANCE RESUMED SESSIONS SUNDAY There was a large crowd at the Alliance and the remarks of Lawyer Stuart concerning the experiences of his recent trip to Baltimore proved not only very interesting but quite witty at times. Many valuable suggestions were gleaned from the speech. The speaker of the hour, a former Denverite and clergyman, Rev. Ford, was the next to entertain the audience with some historical events and happenings, as well as his impressions of the army and the South. He told how he became a real soldier and how he felt the pulse of the soldiers as to their attitude toward Rev. W. W. E. Gladden, and of target practice, how the "gentlemanly Twenty-fourth" possessed a company of the best crack sharpshooters in the army; how he experienced "mess" with Chaplains Gladden and Avlesworth, together with the soldiers; the high moral standard to which the army is being raised; the physical, financial and intellectual advantages afforded in the army.

Matter Has Been Taken Up Seriously in England and a Thorough Test of Its Possibilities Is to Be Made. Education by horoscope for the mental development of the young is having a remarkable vogue in England. With the education bill in parliament exciting discussion among both clergy and laity, the new idea of arriving at the mental condition of children—namely, by means of casting horoscopes—may be one way of solving the various problems before the country. A new society has come forward and offered "Horoscope Scholarships," each worth $75. Strangely enough, these scholarships, while competitive, do not depend on the efforts of the children themselves. Parents who wish to win a $75 horoscope scholarship have to fill out a competition form, giving the name of the child, date and hour of birth, and where the birth was registered. The last condition is essential in order to prevent parents who may know something of astrology themselves from "faking" a brilliant horoscope from a hypothetical date, and thus even doing the stars out of their job. The child whose horoscope shows the most promising future will be awarded one of the prizes. Each of the application forms will be turned over to a number of "well-known and skilled astrologists," and the child having the best "future" is to be given the chance, as it were, of living up to it. For instance, if, among the competitors, there are any young Napoleons, Miltons or George Washington, this fact at once will be revealed, and all the budding genius has to do is simply to "bud" and the future will do the rest. That the new idea is "catching on" in England is demonstrated by the fact that hundreds of parents have gone in for the prize offered. If the method becomes general, it will save educational authorities a vast deal of trouble. Instead of worrying with the mentally deficient, the casting of the horoscope will show where the shortcoming lies, and the child can be dealt with accordingly. There is no use in wasting an education fit for Isaac Newton on a child who will never rise above the mathematical attainments of Simple Simon, for instance, and so trouble will be saved all round. Children who receive the horoscope prizes are to get the money in "hard cash." The idea of giving out real money in connection with these mystical problems is a novel one in itself, and that alone will account for the immense popularity of the new scheme. If mystical money were paid for horoscope scholarships, or the children had to wait until the future corroborated the predictions of the stargazing experts, very little interest would be taken in the matter. The scholarships are to be given on very practical subjects. For instance, if the horoscope indicates that the child has musical talent, the $75 award is to be devoted to developing the musical faculties, and this course will also be followed with reference to artistic genius, business capacity and even "all around ability." Just what this last term signifies it is a little difficult to THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. say. It seems, however, that the horoscopists are not to limit their award. If a child's career points, for instance, to a brilliant future as a trust magnate, every facility—to the extent of the $75—is to be given to develop the "all-around ability" in the specific directions indicated by the star chart. The scholarships for the best horoscopes are not to be confined either to girls or boys, but either sex is open to compete. The first three awards are to be made to children under the age of 14; while the fourth goes to the boy or girl between the ages of 14 and 17 whose horoscope denotes the possession of those qualities most essential to success in a commercial career. The Proud Pugilist. San Francisco is chuckling over a story about Battling Nelson, the conqueror of Joe Gans, the "old master." Nelson appeared in a fashionable restaurant a day or two after the fight. His presence made a sensation. He was stared at as though he had been a pretty girl in a sheath skirt. It happened that an Englishwoman of title was dining in the restaurant. She expressed a desire to meet the champion, and one of her companions quickly arranged the matter with Nelson's second or third assistant business manager. "Battling Nelson, Countess Exe. Shake hands with him, countess. There ain't no pride about him. He'll let you." A Unanimous Vote. A German-American who had recently arrived at the estate of riches attended his first banquet. The wine was particularly vile, and so several gentlemen who were seated near the German were quite satisfied to have him empty the bottles that had been set apart for their common use.

The second largest masonry arch in the world has, according to Engineering News, recently been built on a new railway in Austria. This arch is the largest span of a bridge over the Isonzo river, and is 278.9 feet, having a rise of 78 feet. The arch is of cut stone founded on re-enforced concrete footings, backing into solid rock. It is 6.6 feet thick at the crown. The largest masonry arch in the world is at Plauen, Germany, having a span of 295 feet, and the hitherto second largest, at Luxemborg, with 277.6 feet span.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE. J. B. MOORE, PROP.

Some idea of the onerous and difficult duties of a bishop may be gathered from the work of Dr. W. C. Gray, bishop of southern Florida. Nearly 60,000 miles of territory go to make up the diocese. There are few modern facilities of travel and, although one strenuous bishop made an effort to get over the whole in one year, he failed in spite of the fact that he only spent three weeks of the entire year at his home. Apart from the size of the diocese, however, the 250,000 inhabitants are composed of Cubans, negroes, Swedes, Danes and Germans, while between 400 and 500 Seminole Indians still remaining in the swamps have to be visited. Missions have been established among them all—red men, black men, brown men and white men, and the new mission openings are such that the present bishop is constantly on the "go," visiting them. In fact, he is away from home nearly all the time. Don't Say Cologne. She sprinkled eau de cologne liberally in the bath of pink marble. "It is this perfume," she said learnedly, "which makes us think that the town of Cologne must be scented. Johann Maria Farina invented, 200 years ago in Cologne, a perfume made of the oils of neroli, citron, bergamot, orange and rosemary. He called the perfume after his city—eau de Cologne—water of Cologne. By the same token, had he been a Londoner, he'd have called it eau de London. In that case the illiterate would now think London a scented city, and instead of saying correctly, "Put a few drops of perfume on my handkerchief,' they would say, 'Put a few drops of London on it.' In fact, it is a very vulgar and silly error to call all perfumes cologne. You might as well call them Chicago or Denver." Marriage and Sacrifice. Marriage, unless to the rich, necessarily entails many little sacrifices. The modern bachelor most misses his little week-end trips to seaside and golf links when he enters the ranks of the benedict. Week-ending is an expensive habit and young couples, even if they can afford it, are much wiser to settle down quietly in their early married life and make a real home. Unless they do this in the beginning "home, sweet home" will never be an accomplished fact. It takes two to make a home and there is no time like the first years of marriage for making a real "nest" home to last through life. Danger from Springs. In the summer, when so many thousands drink from tempting springs in the woods and on the hillsides, a warning recently given by Mons. E. A. Martel, the celebrated French explorer of caverns, should not go unnoticed. Contrary to a widely prevalent opinion, Mons. Martel says that springs of apparently pure water are, in many cases, merely the outflow of surface waters which have disappeared through fissures, carrying with them pollution from the soil, and not purified in their passage through the rocks. He thinks that even chalk is not an effectual filter for surface water passing through it. Fish Chased Ashore by Whales. A serious menace to health is threatened at Nahant by the large quantities of fish which have been thrown up on the beaches and rocks following it. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. believed, the appearance of porpoises and large fish, supposed to be whales. Although the fishermen gather them as the tide recedes, many are overlooked. It is the opinion of the natives that the fish, which include mackerel, hake, pollock and herring, all small in size, have been forced ashore by the larger fish which have invaded the waters recently. The Quaintest Station. The most quaint, queer and curious station along the line of the Erie is at Soho, just beyond the big Tiffany factory at Forest Hill. It consists of a large, old, spreading tree, around the trunk and lower branches of which has been built a circular wooden awning or umbrella. Around the base is a board platform and seat. Only a few houses are in sight, but trains do stop there, and they do say that people have been seen getting on and off at the "station." Canada's Railroad Building. For the first decade of the twentieth century one of Canada's greatest accomplishments will be the completion of the dominion's second transcontinental railway. The Grand Trunk has finished its prairie section from Winnipeg to Edmonton. From Edmonton to the coast, 700 miles, through the mountains, three years more will be needed. The work is exceedingly difficult and expensive. Pay of Teachers in India. At present the minimum rate of pay of a teacher in government schools in Travancore is 5 rupees (6s. 8d.) a month, and there are now 227 teachers on 5 rupees and 226 on 6 rupees (8s.) in government schools. This pay is to be raised to 7 rupees (9s. 4d.) a month and in futur no teacher will be appointed in any government school on less than this salary.—Madras Mail. Girl's Pleasant Duty.

In the center of the cemetery is the beautiful Johnson monument The Snap-Shooting Nuisance One of the nuisances of the present day is the photographer who snaps the married couple just as they come out of the church. The nuisance of it is that no one likes to be taken unawares, but that might be obviated if the public is trained to expect the camera upon every occasion and is always ready to "look sweet."

Near Blake | Cupid made his headquarters for the past week on Logan avenue at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Car- per. Through his art on Wednesday night Miss Carrie Carper bestowed her hand and future fortunes upon Mr. William Parsons of Santa Fe, N. M. ‘vhe ceremony, which occurred in the presence of many friends, took place in tne front parlor, under a leafy bow- er of garlands and flowers, with wed- aing bells artistically placed within. Rey. Sanders was the officiating cler- gyman. Having been the one who guided her mind in her girlhood through the initial steps of education, it was a pleasant touch for him to carry God’s blessing to her in the blos- soming out of life in the marriage cer- emony. Mr. Carper gave the bride away and Mr. George Parsons cele- brated the last few hours of his single blessedness by acting as best man for his brotner, his financee, Miss Mary Paras, acting as bridesmaid. At noon on Thursday, in the same graceful setting, Miss Parks and Mr. Parsons were made one, Rey. Sanders again serving. Mrs. Wm. Parsons acted as matron of honor and the hon- ors of best man fell to Mr. William Parsons. Light refreshments graced both occasions. Both couples were re- membered by a host friends with cost- ly presents, reminders of the esteem in which they are held. Thursday evening amid a shower of rice and old shoes they took their departure for Salt Lake City, where they will spend a few days and return via Denver to their home in Santa Fe. In the brides this city loses two of its best-liked and most popular girls. Miss Carper has added a sweet charm and grace to the social circle, being highly edu- cated and also a good musician. Miss Parks came to us from Fort Scott, Kansas, not so many years ago and at once took hold of the good will of the young set. She has been a pioneer in endeavor for us as well, having been the first colored girl to hold the place of making syrups for the Scholtz drug stores, a responsible and lucrative po- sition. We will miss them but our best wishes follow after them. The Parson brothers are among the best-known men in New Mexico. They are expert ball plavers on the famous Santa Fe team, which alone is honor enough. William is employed as clerk in the Palace hotel, the largest in his city, while George fs in the service of the Santa Fe railway. Mrs. A. M.
