ALL STAR MINSTRELS EAST TURNER HALL THURSDAY, NOV. 19 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY MISSOURI'S FAVORITE ADDRESSES UNIVERSITY NELSON CREWS AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Last Thursday and Friday, November 5 and 6, the Church and the State Board of Trustees of Western University met to discuss in solemn deliberation the expanding, growing future of this institution. Dr. Vernon, president, had a most splendid report to make as to the extraordinary progress and prosperity of the school. At chapel services Hon. Nelson Crews, one of the Church Trustees, was selected by Bishop Abraham Grant, president of Board of Trustees, to make a speech. Mr. Crews had lately finished a hard political campaign which brought success to his party and was in the best of spirits and best of voice. Among the many good things he said to the assembled brethren faculty and students were as follows: "You are living in a day of progress. The opportunities you enjoy here are unusual and abundant. Every comfort and advantage is offered you here to gain knowledge and character. Such opportunities as these were not offered to these elderly men who grace and dignify this platform. This beautifully decorated chapel, these splendidly equipped buildings, this strong corps of teachers from the leading schools and this most liberal state of Kansas, whose highest capital is made up of the intelligence of her citizens. Joy unbounded comes to my heart when I remember but three years ago at the dedication of this very building when the present governor, E. W. Hoch, lent his presence and good advice to the occasion, there also spoke from this very platform another man, W. R. Stubbs, with words so replete with encouragement and good will to my race and this particular institution. That man has lately been elected to fill the position of governor to the great state of Kansas, and I am sure that under his administration the work at Western University will be given an impetus and forward stride characteristic only of his noble heart and lofty ideals for With all the blessings, natural advantages, and resources with which this great institution is surrounded all would count for naught but for the minu of a great personality to lead them. With the great Captain to guide and steer this ship in the person of Bishop Abraham Grant, a living energizer whose personality reaches out and draws the strongest men around him, himself one of the foremost Negroes of this day and time, Western University is usually blessed. And in addition to this to have the president of this institution, the Hon. Wm. T. Vernon, registrar of U. S. treasury, peerless orator and educator, filling the highest office within the gift of the Negro race in America, with credit and crowning success, is a blessing that no other institution in America can boast of. Two of the greatest Negroes in America connected with the machinery of one and the same institution. In future years you students who now crowd this Chapel, will most likely be blessed with children, and you will draw them to your knees and tell them of the inspiration you received by coming in touch and contact with these great men, and you will in turn inspire them to go on and prepare themselves to reach up and fill noble places in life and such positions that must necessarily be left vacant by reason of death and the unexpected viscisitudes of life. A race that looks up to God in times of adversity and in bitter trial, persecution and suffering, will ere long rejoice in the success of His divine workings for their good. Three years ago at the dedication of this building, in the presence of the governor and distinguished guests, in my speech upon that occasion, I referred to the fact that a native son of Kansas, a product of the public schools and university of this great state had been loaned to the great state of Missouri, of which I claim the honor of being faithful citizen, and like Moses of old, he had lead the people of that great LEA VILLE, COLO. Editor of The Statesman: Mrs. A. J. Young and mother, Mrs. Lee, made a flying trip to Leadville. They returned home Friday night. Rev. B. F. McIntyre had great success at his rally Sunday night. The amount raised was $59.40. The Cloud City Literary Society is progressing nicely. The first debate will be next Wednesday evening. The subject is, "Should a Negro Vote a Democratic Ticket." Mrs. M. E. Robinson will entertain the Literary Society Wednesday evening with a few of her choice selections. Mrs. R. B. Anderson of Denver, was in the city Tuesday on business. Mrs. H. L. Jones entertained a few friends Monday evening at cards. The ball given by the "Mysterious One" last Thursday evening was quite a success. The dancing school will open in a few weeks. Mrs. M. E. Robinson made a flying trip to Denver the first of the week. Mrs. M. Greene is on the sick list again. GRAND JUNCTION COLO. Smithea-Newman. One of the most fashionable events of the season was the marriage of Mr. Chas. D. Smithea of Denver, to Miss Anna Newman of this city, which took place Wednesday evening, October 28, at the home of the bride's parents. The house was converted into a bower of choicest flowers and ferns. An altar, of white satin ribbons had been prepared in the rose parlor, and from the canopy hung the wedding bell of white roses, from which pended the white dove of Peace. As the hands of the clock pointed to eight, the bride, on the arm of her father, and accompanied by her maid of honor, Miss Newman descended the stairs to the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. The party was met in the reception hall by the groom, on the arm of the bride's mother, and the best man, Mr. Spencer Smithea. The maid of honor and the best man went forward to their places at the altar, followed by the bride and groom, while Mr. and Mrs. Newman took their places at the left of their daughter. As the last strains of the wedding march died away, the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was performed, by Rev. Forsythe. The bride's dress was of white French veiling and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. The maid of honor wore white net-de-sprit over white silk and carried white carnations. Supper was served in the back parlors and the dining room, the table decorations being pink and white. The majority of the guests accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Smithea to the depot and generously showered them with rice and good wishes. The guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Pryor and daughters, Mrs. A. Morton, Mrs. McGruder, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hines, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. James Stokes, Rev. Brown, Mr. Thomas Charleston, Dr. E. F. Eldridge, Edward Eldridge, Mr. Spencer Smithea, Denver; Mr. J. M. Price, Mr. Wm. Jones, Mrs. Gilbert, Oakland, Cal.; Mrs. Savage, Denver; Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs . J. H. Smithea, Denver; Mrs. Woodard, Miss Price, Miss Edna Price, Miss Jennie Eldridge. Continued on last page REFUSED TO GIVE TESTIMONY. Youngster’s Attitude Put Mother in Something of a Dilemma. On Frank’s fifth birthday his moth- er told him solemnly that hencefor- ward he must be a man. He must be kind and gentle, and, above all, must be perfectly truthful, ete. A few days later on entering the children’s playroom she caught her younger son, Robert, in the xct of striking Frank a blow in the face. “Why do you strike Frank, Robert?” the mother asked. “He hit me first,” answered Robert hotly. “Did you, Frank?” she inquired. “No, I didn’t,” asserted ‘Frank. “See here, Frank,” said she sorrow- fully, “don’t you remember what I told you—now you are five years old —that you must be a man, and must never tell a lie—tell me—did you strike kim? Now remember, the Lord sees and hears everything you do and say and—” “Does He know?” interrupted Frank, “whether I struck Robert or not, mother?” “Yes, my son, He knows.” “Well, you just ask the Lord if I did, will you?” Lie Discreetly About Your Aae. 4 xnoW a young woman who told me she was 25 years old, although I had never spoken about her age. A quar- ter of a century ago I witnessed a lynching. 1 happened to refer to it once in talking to this young woman, and she immediately became excited. She knew all about that lynching, she said, and had with other schoolchil- dren seen the mob rushing through the streets. I said that the lynching occurred in 1882, and the young wom- an colored a little, became thoughtful and then slightly hysterical. If a man tells you he is 40 years old and then, to illustrate the patriotism of his fam- ily and himself, tells how he helped drape their home in black the day after Lincoln’s death, you can afford to smile at him. If you are calling yourself younger than you really are be careful not to give yourself away. —New York Morning Telegraph. A Steel Gray Man. A stern visaged man, with his steel- gray whiskers cut to make him look like a captain of industry, was walking briskly down Superior avenue recently past the city hall. Near the entrance he saw a little dead sparrow that had fallen to the sidewalk. He paused and picked up the dead bird. “Makes me think of when I was a kid,” he mut- tered. “We always used to have a reg ular funeral and bury ‘em when they died. Well, I'll put it over here where it won't be all ground to pieces by peo- rge walking by, anyway.” He placed the feathered little body on a ledge of the building and then hurried on Sown street.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mending Rubbers, We have found that thin spots in our rubbers can be mended at home by applying a cement made from five cents worth of real rubber dissolved in chloroform. Keep the bottle con- taining the cement tightly corked and apply with a mucilage brush as quick- ly as possible that it may not harden. We used rubber darn for an actual hole. Cut a piece of the rubber the right size, fasten it with a few stitches over the hole, and brush with the cement. Both kinds of rubber may be obtained from a dealer in dentists’ supplies—Harper’s Bazar, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. i , USED CHURCH AS SCHOOLROOM. | Kaiser Invents Safety Brake. Emperor William has invented a | PRE ome eto | new hub and brake for railroad trains The sexton of one church that keeps oyen doors all day long didn’t know whether to regard the matter in the light of a desecration or a devotional exercise. He paid no attention when the three women, watched by a man who stood at the lower end of the aisle, walked the length of the church and back again. Even when they made the trip a second time he scarcely gave them a thought, but when the trio started around the church a third time and the man called out, “Step a little more briskly, please,” he began to wonder, and presently made inquiry. “T hope you won't be offended,” the man replied. “I am a physical culture instructor. I am teaching these young ladies to walk. I have already taught them to walk in the street, in the drawing room, in the theater and every place else they are likely to find them- selyes. I am now teaching them to walk in church. Very few women can walk there properly. Some lope, some Swagger, some skip, others adopt a mincing gait. All these styles are very inappropriate for church. A dig- nified, subdued gait alone is snitable for devotional purposes. Church is the best place for pupils in walking to receive practical instruction, therefore I have brought them here.” “Great fathers!” gasped the sexton “What next?” But he said no more till the walk- ing exercise was ended. Then he fol- lowed the class to the door. “T hope,” he said, “you will practice the lesson learned to-day by coming here to church once in a while.” ALL SORE THEIR TRADEMARKS, Occupations of Vacationists an Open Book to This Man. Sherlock Holmes, seated on the boardwalk, languidly injected a pint of cocaine into his sunburnt arm ‘ “My dear Watson,” said the detec- tive, “let us beguile an hour by pick- ing out the occupations of these va- cationists. In their cheap white flan- nels they all think they look like mil- lionaires, but—ha, ha—what a delu- sion! “There goes a waiter. Waiters fre to be told by the size of their feet and the soft, careful way they set them down. “The man in the imitation Panama hat is a tanner. His clear and ruddy complexion gives him away. The tan- ning trade imparts to the face a pe culiarly healthy look. Why shouldn't it? What is good for dead skins must be good for live ones. “She is a cook, the stout, scarlet lady getting weighed. Her fire, of course, gave her that unmistakable color, but {t was not the eating of food that made her so fat. No; cooks have notoriously poor appetites, It was the inhalation of the rich fumes of food in her kitchen that filled her out. Cooks inhale their fat. That is cheap- er for the mistress, isn’t it? “The little, thin chap in the large bathing suit is a grocer. All grocers are small and bow-legged, and they all wear tight trousers and are partial to brown. “Do you see, my dear Watson, the stately man whose overtures the girl in white just repulsed? Well, he is an actor. The muscles of his face show it. Actors, you know, by the continual practice of expression, de- velop face muscles as marked as the arm muscles of a baseball pitcher.” Kaiser Invents Safety Brake. Emperor William has invented a new hub and brake for railroad trains and automobiles which is described as offering the greatest possible guaran- tee against accident arising from the failure of existing brakes to operate when called upon. Some time ago Emperor William took a lively interest in this braneh of technical work, but he has done nothing in it of recent years. The recent accident on the elevated rail- road of Berlin, however, revived his interest, and he spent part of his time during his recent holiday in the coun- try in working out the present device. The practical experiments with it have not yet been completed. Emperor William, who at one time was a pupil of Prof. Slavy, will resume his studies in advanced technical science in the professor's laboratory after the end of the winter social sea- son. Farmers’ Lot in New England. Anybody who thinks the farmers of New England are living in solitude, out of touch with the great world and indifferent to the advantages of or- ganization, is destined to a _ rude awakening if he subjects his impres- sion to the test of fair-minded inquiry. Much “pity” is patronizingly bestowed on the farmers, who resent it and re- Ject it. Their winters are said to be depressing, whereas that season js in reality the period of their social gay- etles, grange suppers, neighborhood sleigh rides, festivities within the reach of moderate purses and moder- ate desires. Taken as a whole, the farmer's lot {s not an unhappy one, any more than that of the hired man. The hired men have not been “union: ized” yet, and that accounts for a great gap in the ranks of organized labor—Boston Transcript. Darwin's Modesty. On Sunday afternoon Sir John Lub- bock, our host, took us all up to the hill-top whence in his quiet Kentish village Darwin was shaking the world. The illustrious pair, born in the same year, had never met before. Mr. Glad- stone, as soon as seated, took Darwin's interest in lessons of massacre for granted and launched forth his thun- derbolts with unexhausted zest. His great, wise, simple and truth-loving listener, then, I think, busy on diges- tive powers of the drosera in his green- house, was intensely delighted. When we broke up, watching Mr. Gladstone's erect, alert figure as he walked away, Darwin, shading his eyes with his hand against the evening rays, said to me in unaffected satisfaction, “What an hon- or that such a great man should come to visit me!”—From Morley’s Life of Gladstone. A Golf Story Established. The familiar story of the golfer and the friendly crow, which picks a ball out of a bunker and tees it carefully on the bank or lays it on the green, has never been thoroughly established till now. St. Andrews confuses skep- tics who have classed this anecdote with fishing stories. Recently W. M. Grelg, while play- ing on the twelfth hole, saw his tee shot pounced upon by a large hooded crow which soared into the air with the ball, Unable, however, to sus- tain the weight for long, the bird dropped with the ball on the green toward which Mr. Greig was playing, and left jt there. This. enabled Mr. Greig to win the hole—Glaagow Harald. PAGE. 10. A By-Product. A small boy, whose parents believed in the old proverb, “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” ran into the house one day exclaiming: “Oh, grandpa, come out here quick! Our switch tree has a peach on it!”-—-Harper’s. Public Parks in German Cities. Three German cities—Frankfort, Rostock and Cologne—have public parks covering about half their area. Berlin, on the other hand, has less than six per cent. of its area taken up by parks. ‘ ee Only Two Kinds, There are, after all, only two kinds of people in the world—those who are trying to keep their names out of the newspapers and those who are trying to get theirs in. No Home Complete Without It. The Thibetan Bible contains 108.000 pages. This leaves plenty of room for mother to hide her money.—Chi- cago Journal Subtle Criticism. A certain young artist in New York, who is on terms of comparative in- timacy with the janitor of the apart- ment-house wherein he maintains his studio, is In some doubt whether the said janitor is a cynic, or something of an art critic, or both. “One day, whilo doing a bit of re pair work in the studio,” says the painter, “Mike scrutinized a bit of my work with ominous solemnity. When I indicated a portrait of myself the blow fell, Said I: “‘The paint on this is badly cracked, which spoils the likeness.” “With no more expression in his countenance than {s to be seen in the face of a representation of Buddha, Mike replied: “Not at all, sir.’."”— Harper's Weekly. Late Hours for Rising in England. There is one signal disadvantage In London—and, indeed, in English life, for the practice apparently embraces the entire country—and this is the ap- pallingly late hours for rising. Every- where is nine o'clock the breakfast hour; nothing, so to speak, is open till ten o'clock, and this absolute loss of all the morning makes a great dif- ference if one has arything to do. On the continent one may always have breakfast by seven o'clock, as in our own country; but the universal late breakfast here, with luncheon at from 1:30 to two and dinner at eight or nine o'clock, makes conditions dificult for those accustomed to earlier hours. Strange Case. One of the New York hospitals has a patient—a young athlete—who has normal vision when lying at full length, but fs blind as a bat when he sits up or stands on his feet. This has been his state for six months or so. The hurt to the eyes that brought ft on was received in a game of basket- ball. The specialists who are trying to remedy the mischief done to his eyes at that time employ a new X-ray process. “This consists,” explains a New York paper, “of periodic flashes of the rays—of great intensiiy— against the retina, instead of the older method of a steady application of the rays for a,considerable period of time,” LADIE®’ TAILORING. Fashionable @ressmaking, desi¢n ing. Mra, I. M, MeGutre, 2616 Curtis atrest, Find Good Market In Mexico. When it is learned that over onehalf of the foreign merchandise consumed in Mexico is supplied by the United States, and that the total value of the imports from this country for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, was $58,617,593 (gold), it will be understood how strong are the ties of commerce between the two republic. The United States transacts with Mexico more than three times the amount of trade that either Great Britain or Germany does and five-fold the business that is reported by France. And if we add together the imports into Mexico from all of Europe and the United Kingdom there is still shown a balance in favor of the United States of nearly $10,000,000 annually. The Mining World. Always Grains of Comfort. In the exhaustless catalogue of heaven's mercies to mankind, the power we have of finding some germs of comfort in the hardest trials must ever occupy the foremost place; not only that it supports and upholds us when we most require to be sustained, but because in this source of consolation there is something, we have reason to believe, of the divine spirit; something of that goodness which detects amidst our own evil doings a redeeming quality; something which, even in our fallen nature, we possess in common with the angels; which had its being in the old time when they trod the earth, and lingers on it yet, in pity.—Dickens. A Cheap Dessert. "Fruit is fine this fall," announced the enterprising housekeeper, "and so cheap that you can have delicious desserts for almost nothing. For instance, I take one banana, two pears, two peaches and one orange, slice them all up together and sprinkle with sugar. The combination of flavors is delicious and this makes enough for four or five persons. Cost? Banana, one cent; peaches, two cents; pears, two cents; orange, five cents—total, ten. It's the orange that's expensive, but you need it for the juice. A few white grapes added give the dish quite a fancy touch, and you can get good grapes on the carts for eight cents a pound. Good Place to Be Born In. In the German town of Klingenberg, near Aschaffenberg (Bavaria), in addition to having no rates to pay for the upkeep of the town, those actually born in the parish receive from the municipality a sum of $60. This sum if invested regularly at say 3 per cent, would entitle the owner to receive about $7,300 at the age of 60—a very handsome old age pension. Were it not necessary that the inhabitants should prove birth in the parish before becoming entitled to this payment the popularity of Klingenberg as a place of residence would doubtless be enormous.—Westminster Gazette. Railroad Slips Into River. Seventy-five thousand dollars' worth of railroad property slid into the Mississippi river at New Orleans when a section of earth 300 feet long and about 200 feet wide caved in between Washington avenue and Fourth street, carrying along seven freight cars and four lines of railroad tracks. Undermining the bank by high water was the cause. The cars and two of the tracks belonged to the Illinois Central railroad and the other two tracks belonged to the Public Belt rail THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The world was all right as God made it. It only got into trouble after man tried to chon it into mincemeat. The Future of Cooking. Women of the next generation will regard cooking as a chemical process, certain fixed laws governing it, and there will be less attention paid to the recipe and luck will have nothing to do with it. It is to be hoped the results will be as good as those of our grandmothers, who put in a pinch of salt, and believed in the luck of the oven above everything else. New Railroad for Moscow. An interesting railroad will be opened in Moscow, Russia, in the near future. The line forms an irregular oval round Moscow at various distances from the city barriers. It intersects all nine of the Moscow railway lines, and will be used for transferring freight from one line to another, thereby saving cartage and also considerably relieving the congested state of the streets of Moscow. It will also tap a whole series of factories which have hitherto been off any line. The Railroad Death Rate. Returns of the interstate commerce commission show that in the year ending June 30, 1904, there were 10,046 persons killed and 84,155 injured on the railways in the United States. Of these 70,699 were employees, of whom 3,632 were killed and 67,067 injured. The greater part of the remaining casualties were suffered by trespassers, of whom 5,105 were killed and 5,194 injured. It is presumed that for accidents to persons classified as trespassers the railways were in no sense responsible. Punctuation Was Preserved. When John Kendrick Bangs' phantasy of "Tomorrowland" was in rehearsal the author was very much disturbed by the arbitrary alterations in his book by an omnipotent manager, who succeeded in the end in transforming a musical satire into a tuneful show having neither head nor tail. Mr. Bangs expressed himself to some friends forcibly one night on the subject of the managerial omniscience. "If you feel that way," said one of his friends, "why do you attend rehearsals?" In Important Executive Post. Ernest P. Bicknell, who has served as superintendent of the Chicago bureau of charities since 1898, went to Washington the other day to assume his new duties as national director of the American Red Cross. This great philanthropic agency has been reorganized into three departments, over which Mr. Bicknell will have executive supervision. They are the departments of war relief, foreign relief and domestic relief. * J. WINSTON BAILEY, OPT. D. Iculist Optician EXPERT With Prescription Lenses Office and College 1863 Curtis DENVER, COLO.

Mrs. Booker is an ideal hostess and spared no pains in making it pleasant for her guests. A quiet and enjoyable evening was had. The Las Animas County Sunday School Institute was held Monday and Tuesday, November 9 and 10, 1908, in the First Presbyterian church (white) of this city. A cordial invitation was extended the pastor and Sunday school of Grace Chapel A. M. E. church and Rev. B. F. Bates, Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Florence Patton, the superintendent of our Sabbath school; Miss Matilda Jackson and Mrs. W. H. Prince were in attendance. Mr. J. H. Engle, Kansas' state superintendent, made a very scholarly and instructive address on the subject, "Jesus, the Great Teacher." And in asking questions on his subject, he showed no partiality as regards to face or color, asking questions to, and accepting answers from, the colored Sabbath school works as readily as from the white. There were many suggestions and plans presented that were helpful and inspiring. The A. C. E. League had a very enthusiastic meeting last Sunday evening. A splendid program was rendered and each participant reflected great credit on themselves. The paper, "The Aim and Purpose of the A. C. E. League," read by Mrs. Gertrude Lockett, was well prepared and very interesting, and was ably discussed by Mrs. Jack Jordan and Rev. B. F. Bates and others. Everybody is cordially invited to come and spend an hour with us every Sabbath evening in the discussion of the various topics and prayer and praise service. Mr. Moses Williams, of Hastings' mining camp, was suddenly taken with cramps last Friday and died. His remains were shipped to Trinidad.

GILMORE Undertaker and Embalmer Carriages Furnished for all Occasions Open Day and Night 1921 Arapahoe St Denver's Leading Undertaker An extraordinary railroad accident happened recently in Siam, on the Royal State railway, between Ban Phaji and Bangkok. Late one evening, while rounding a slight curve, a heavy goods train, drawn by two engines, dashed into a large wild elephant which had strayed on to the track. The force of the impact was terrific, and both the engines were overthrown, the leading one plunging over the embankment and the second capsizing and falling across the line. Two men were killed and several injured, the brake van was smashed into a shapeless mass and 13 cars were derailed and six telescoped. The elephant was killed and its body hurled 60 feet from the track. This is the second accident of the kind that has occurred this year in Siam, an elephant having been killed last February near Lapburi, with, however, only slight damage to the train. Thumb Mark Replaces Monogram. According to a Philadelphia stationer the thumb mark is taking the place of the monogram on notepaper. "The thumb mark," says this authority, "is engraved in gold or silver, and has all the value of a Bertillon mark of identification. Some people prefer to have the thumb mark printed in red or blue, but the metal colors are generally approved. It has several advantages besides its novelty, familiarizing one's friends with a personal sign manual which cannot easily be duplicated. Many of the thumb marks are also surprisingly picturesque, and it is not difficult for the writer to annex a fresh thumb mark in ink, and this can be compared with the engraved mark when one wants to establish the identity of special writings." Mummies from Mexican Ruins. "Mummified remains of beings who existed hundreds of years ago have been dug up during the work of excavating that has been going on in the old catacombs of Guanajuato, Mexico," said Dr. S. Burg of Baltimore. "The people whose bodies were discovered must have lived long before the settlement of the republic, and the finds have occasioned much interest among scientific, men. Some of the bodies Automobi J. H. GA Phone Phone Main 3725. Q. J.

The mummies were discovered under an old cemetery while the excavations were being made by some prospecting miners." Left His Eyes Behind. "Carefully hide eyes on dressing-table. Destroy all evidence. Burn this message." When this telegram was received at the Turin post-office foul play was suspected, and detectives at once set to work to solve the mystery. Their investigations showed that the sender of the telegram was a man who had lost an eye, which had been replaced by an artificial one. He is engaged to be married, and so far has succeeded in hiding his infirmity from his future bride. A few days ago he stayed at the house of his prospective mother-in-law, and left two reserve glass eyes lying on the dressing table. He remembered the eyes after leaving, and also the fact that his fiancee intended to visit her brother shortly. Valuable Railroad Property. Lackawanna is the highest priced railroad stock in the world. The par value of its shares is $50 and the price ranges between $500 and $600. A small transaction—a hundred or a few hundred shares—causes a loss or gain of from 10 to 40 points. The road is owned by the Rockefellers, Stillmans and Astors (and their associates), and is operated with the same foresight that has always distinguished Standard Oil. Its mileage is small; its dividens are enormous. Its capital stock is only $26,200,000.—New York Press. Expert on Poetry of Motion. Sixty-five years a member of the ballet company of the Royal opera house at Berlin is the record of Miss Charlotte Braun, who celebrated her eightieth birthday recently. For many years she was a solo dancer at the opera, then she became an instructor in the ballet school, and for the last ten years she has been a pensioner, but she still continues to give instruction in dancing and is a recognized authority on matters relating to the poetry of motion. le for Hire NNAWAY lain 776 Licensed Embalmer No. 234.

Harkless and McClure of Pueblo and O. T. Jackson of Boulder, were in Denver the last week. Miss Mary Crane, who has been visiting her friend, Mrs. Sloan of Twenty-ninth street, left last week for her home in Missouri. Especially for the benefit and assistance of C. A.

The Sunshine Club will meet at the residence of Mrs. Lucy Hall, 2945 Arapahoe street, next Thursday night. C. D. CLEM'S ENTERTAINMENT A SUCCESS. Wherever there are twenty-five or thirty in a jolly mood there will be fun as a consequence, but Mondaq, though storming and sleety, witnessed one of the jolliest treats ever given in Scott's church. The following are some of the treats, "Legion and Business," "When Gabriel Blows de Hon," "Scroggin's Kourtship," "De Gal Dat Un le Hart" and "Springfield." But when the clever impersonator characteristically presented that dialect sermon it filled the house with so much laughter that the crowds fairly roared. A small crowd but lots of fun and enthusiasm. Mr. Clem left for Chanute, Kan., Tuesday noon, where he will give some concerts. ALL KINDS, ALL QUANTITIES 2100 Arapaloo St. Denver, Colo.

He stalked two young rats on the eaves of a low flat stable roof, and caught one in the usual way. The other jumped on to an elderberry tree just below. Bob, however, not satisfied with the one, grasped {it firmly in his mouth, and then jumped headlong for the oth- er. Either he was very lucky or extraordinarily agile, for he fell to the ground with one rat still in his mouth and the other in his paws, ud promptly killed them both.—Scots- man.

Among the cherisied beliefs that ye are now asked to give up is that of the healthfulness of the sweet sum- mertime. It may bring peace, health and joy to some, but there are others with whom it does not agree. Any given quantity of hot air, say the au- thorities, contains less oxygen than cold alr, and oxygen is life. Then the body is also weakened by any great amount of perspiration. As for sun- burn, which was formerly regarded as the sign manual of health, we are told that it is merely a kind of paint cover- ing up often a bad physique, and it is an injurious paint at that. Heat, it seems, relaxes the minute blood ves- sels of the skin, and this results in a slowing of the circulation, which af- | fects not only the skin, but the brain. T.R. HE RRON, Prop.

A parrot belonging to King Henry VIII. one day fell out of the palace window at Westminster into the Thames, and remembering a cry that she had heard, called out: “A boat, a boat, for twenty pounds!” A boatman, hearing her cry, came to her rescue and took her to the king, claiming the reward Polly had offered. The king said he would give whatever sum Polly should now say. But when she was asked she very ungratefully cried: “Give the knave a ¢roat.” 'S L. L.

As to divorce, children are the only real consideration. I do not mean to advocate divorce as a remedy for the present undesirable state of the institution of marriage. But we are bound to recognize that a hasty mar- tiage, however romantic it may be, will not always keep the affections permanent. When two people find they do not love each other and if they have no children to consider, the best thing and the only thing for them to do is to separate.—Charles Zueblin.

Admission 90 Cents DANCING PAGE. 6. Marriage is a short cut from romance to reality. The man who poses as a model citizen has a hard job. You can flatter any man by telling him he is flattery-proof. Among the other trusts we have mistrusts and distrusts. A wise man always pretends to take the advice his wife hands him. Courtship is expensive, marriage more so and alimony—well, that's the limit. Never judge the kind of mother a man had by the woman who marries him. It is easier to do a charitable act than it is to refrain from talking about it. There is always a good-paying job on tap for the man who can deliver the goods. Be kind to your friends, be agreeable to your neighbors and beware of your enemies. The mother of a pretty daughter doesn't have to boast of her domestic accomplishments. Nothing worries a girl more than taking on flesh while she is the victim of unrequited love. If a married man learns to love another woman it is usually because his wife makes the lessons easy. Occasionally a woman marries a man for the purpose of lifting him up—and then makes it a case of hold-up forever after.—Chicago News. DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY. Give a man back talk and he is apt to take affront. It isn't every chauffeur who could write his own auto-biography. A good many things have been done in the name of charity, and a good many people, too. There are lots of men who never swear, and we wouldn't believe them on their oath if they did. We can always think of a lot of reasons why other people ought to be satisfied with what they have. When a fellow tells a girl he is not worthy of her she should take him at his word and not look for proof. Many a man gets the reputation of being informed because people happen to ask him the things he happens to know. "It may be better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all," says a married friend of mine, "but both have their advantages. PROVERBS AND PHRASES. Malice supplies the want of age.— Latin. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Be wise to-day; 'tis madness to defer.—Young. Many things lawful are not expedient.—Latin. Men make houses, but women make homes.—Danish. Better to wear out shoes than sheets.—German. Assist yourself and heaven will assist you.—Latin. If better were within, better would come out.—Danish. Love your neighbor, but don't pull down the fence.—German. UNCLE ROOSTER'S PHILOSOPHY. About most family trees there is something shady. The world would be a pleasanter place if the people who mean no harm wouldn't do any. There are 93,000 newspapers, and two-thirds of them have the largest circulation on earth. The reason why short men marry tall women is that, being so little and weak, they are always afraid to back out. It takes nine tailors—the ordinary kind—to make a man, but one Fifth avenue tailor can easily break 30 or 40 men of a morning.—Los Angeles Times. TRADE AND INDUSTRY. If American firms will make single handed plows they can sell thousands of them in Peru, where the two handled kind is not liked. American shoes are not popular in Chile, where fashionable men in cities are addicted to the long, narrow, sharp pointed variety which come from Paris. Cartagena has an up-to-date shoe factory equipped with American machinery, but most of the product is of French patterns and shapes. They retail for $2.75 a pair. Emeralds. At the present day most of the emeralds that come into the market are obtained from the famous mines of Muzo, in the Columbian province of Bayaca. These workings are situated on the eastern slope of the Andes, about 70 miles to the north-northwest of the town of Santa Fe de Bogota. There is another mine, called Lasquez, two days' journey by muleback from Muzo.

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO' TRADE MARK (Registered) 1 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just is 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.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ‘DOMESTIC SUPERSTITION, To make tea too strong is a sign you will make friends. If you make tt too weak then you will lose friends. If you burn bread while cooking some one is angry with you. If you sing while making bread you will cry before it is eaten. To forget to put coffee in the coffee pot is a sign of a coming gift. If a cork pops out of a bottle sud- denly, you have an unknown enemy. It is a sign of a quarrel to allow a cooking stove to get red hot on top. In washing dishes, if you forget an article {t is a sign you will hear of a wedding. If a maid who is kneading dough clutch at a lad’s face he'll never grow a beard. When bread, cake or ple will burn in spite of you, your husband or lover is angry. If when taking a custard pie out of the oven {it should fall on the floor, up- side down, it is a sign some one will die and leave you a fortune. If while opening a can of fruit or any similar thing the juice should happen to spurt up in the Operator's face, it is a sign of some coming good. FLEETING FANCIES. Poets are born, not paid. Marriage is the surest cure for flat tery. Too many cooks spoil the intelligence office. Be careful how you grasp a red-hot Opportunity. All things come to those who wait on themselves. A pretty girl always inspires more envy than a clever one. Many a fellow who isn't a presti- digitator turns day into night. All the world’s a stage, but lots of ws never get in the spot light. Sometimes an exploded theory doesn't even wake up the theorist. An expert is a man who is able to impress us with how little we know. The philanthropy of some men con- sists of a willingness to pass the hat. Many a man puts his property in bis wife's name, including his happi- ness, It is not until a man becomes wedded to his art that he feels he can neglect it. GEORGIA PHILOSOPHY.

BISHOP GRANT'S MESSAGE CONGRATULATION TO JUDGE TAFT. We congratulate you on your splendid victory. In you, all people under the American flag have a friend. You will govern the nation righteously. The door of hope is still open to all. You deserve all that has come to you. ABRAHAM GRANT. SHIFTING OUR OBLIATIONS. So many ship wrecks of chaarcter and fortune are due to an improper realization of the binding nature of a contract, that we attempt to moralize in the hope that those who give their word carelessly, may stop and consider. For the frailties which are natural in mankind, there is excuse. But pity and condemnation should be visited upon those weaknesses which we foster in ourselves. People join churches, lodges, contract debts, marry, seek employment and do a thousand other things carrying with them a pledge of future action. It is too much to expect of the rascal, that he try to keep his word, but for the person of honest intention, it is fair to expect his level best. Acts of God such as sickness, fire, pestilence, we cannot control, but they are a negligible hindrance as compared with our own lack of appreciation of the binding nature of our pledged word. There is no excuse for a church member giving a dime in the collection when he has spent twice as much on cigars for his Sunday smoking. It is downright dishonesty for an employee to rob his employere of timeb y going to work late, or by failing to do his best while employed. It is a cheap, subterfuge a petty piec eof moral obliquity, to owe debts and seek to evade payment by avoiding the creditor. It is four-fifths a rascal to do shoddy, hal-hearted work, for no employee would urge such conduct to a prospective employer as a recommendation. Bonds were never made for men who give their word and keep it. There is no difference in result between the rascal who breaks his promise designedly and the weak-willed, half-hearted, good-intentioned person who does not put determination to do behind his promise. Look this matter squarely in the face. Either be a rogue or be a man. Do not slip and slide when you can stand erect. Talk straight, act straight, and be assured that the straight way is the shortest way to the goal of your life. Out of the debris of the campaign come some good thoughts. We are in receipt of a letter from Daniel Brooks, a prosperous farmer of Fowler. Colo., who, after speaking his opinion of colored men who voted the Democratic ticket, in the face of the bad record of that party respecting us in the South, gives the following splendid advice: "I say that if the Republican party has not done anything for the Negro the Democrats will not do anything The Negro will have to do for him self, and not look for some one else to do for him. The man who voted for Bryan might say, what is Taft going to do for you. We are not looking for him to do anything for us. We are looking for him to run the country in peace so we can do for ourselves." These are sage words and express briefly the sum total of philosophy which will solve the problem of our existence in this country. The man who is looking for some one to put him in the way of oppotrtunity, will be disappointed. That is always open, but he must seize it himself. Peace is to the advantage of our race, and so long as we get that through the dominant political party, we have no more which we can justly ask. All else we must take. One of the editors down the state tries to account for Republican defeat in this state by assigning the cause to the factional fights the party indulged in. Another holds two men, the one white and the other colored, entirely responsible. We hoped to be spared the necessity of giving the real reason, but for fear the public may be misled by these two, we will speak out. The reason the Republican party in Colorado went down in defeat was because it did not get enough votes. We forgive the first editor, for he meant wel and maybe did give the reason we did not have enough votes, but the second is having a precarious time keeping on the good side of his neighbors, just because of this thing of saying, "He done it," and had better leave personal criticism to persons who have more bricks and less glass in their houses. THE ALLIANCE HAS PACKED HOUSE. Many old familiar faces which greeted the Alliance in years gone by were noticeable in last Sunday's meeting when Dr. Bailey addressed the body on "Optomology." Every chair was taken and at times standing room seemed at a premium. The doctor discoursed on "Optometry," the science of "seeing" psychologically, physically, intellectually, religiously and morally. While illustrating the different phases of sight and physiology of the eye which drew him, also into the fields of hypnotism, palmistry, psychometry and the higher spiritualism of the soul which is the real eye in the last analysis, the large audience listened with rapt attention and it took the beautiful strains of Harris' orchestra to bring the audience back to earth again. Mr. Merritt Moore, (white) enthusiast of the Alliance, spoke at length on the good the Alliance was doing and bade his last farewell to the august body. The board of directors met Wednesday night to transact some important business. December 7 is Whittier's birthday and during the next few months' the natal days' of all our tried and true friends will be ushered in. The Alliance meets at 4 p. m., 1712 Curtis street.

He published a struggling weekly. Having launched out on the journalistic sea, he set sail full of hope, but alas misfortune overtook him. In his despair, he bethought him of a subscriber who owed him money, real money. Some had paid him in potatoes, in second-hand clothing, in flattery and dinners, but this subscriber had promised to pay him in real money and now was the time of need. So he wrote a touching letter. His poverty, his old clothes, his shop-worn wife, his down-at-the-heel children spoke between the lines. In due time he received a letter in reply. He read it. It contained no money. He fainted. It ran: "I have just been taking your old paper as a favor to you. I will not pay you a cent. You can stop it." Here is the moral and it for a number of our out-of-town subscribers to whom we have sent notices of indebtedness. We expect letters from them all, for that is common courtesy. When you write, please remember that it is against the law for us to faint, so please enclose some of your good will in the shape of hard cash. 50 Rooms, Reception Room and Restaurant in Connection The only First-Class Hotel in the City for accommodation of Colored People and Trade I'M EASTMAI FOUR BLOCKS FROM FROM SECOND AND PIKE STREETS CENTER OF THE RETAIL DISTRICT Rates 50 Cents per Night $2.50 Up per Week A.

Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hope less Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you snall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT TO REVS. J. S. PAYNE AND J. H. BROWN. Whereas, By the generous and policy of the African M. E. church, it has pleased the appointing power, Bishop A. Grant, D. D., presiding Bishop of the Colorado Annual Conference, to change the pastorate of two of the very faithful and energetic pastors of Denver in the personnel of Rev. J. S. Payne of Campbell Chapel, and Rev. J. H. Brown of Ward Chapel, and. Whereas, Each of them endeavored to magnify their office and adorn their avocation, thereby endearing themselves not only to the particular churches they served, but to the citizens in general; and. Whereas, They were active in every good work that had for its object the uplifting of humanity, and the Christianizing of the world; therefore be it Resolved, That we commend them to the churches and people to whom they have been sent as worthy embassadors of the cross of Christ and worthy of the confidence and esteem of any people; be it further Resolved, That the Afro-American Ministerial Union loses an excellent and faithful president in the person of Rev. J. S. Payne, whose rulings were always impartial and satisfactory; also Resolved. That the Union loses a good chairman of the program committee in the person of Rev. J. H. Brown, whose eye was always on the alert to have the best program possible, often securing able and rare talent to address the union, not only among the ministry but the laymen and men of every walk of life. ```markdown ``` COAL $3.50 PER TON AND UP GAS COKE THIS MONTH $5.00 QUALITY CLOTHES SHOP 1015 16TH STREET OPPOSITE TABOR GRAND .....GOOD CLOTHES AT MODERATE PRICES.... changes are occurring in the districts of the Denver postoffice, new arrangement of our mailing galleys.
