THE MINSTRELS NEW MEXICO SCORE A HIT REFUSES WESTERN TWENTIETH YEAR THE MINS SC The minstrels were good. They were very good, so good that they deserved every one of the people's presence who crowded East Turner hall Thursday night, upstairs and down, and even standing up. Burnt cork is nothing new, but the manner in which the Denver thespians shone in it in the All-Star Minstrels made many a person comment on the players, that "I did not know that he could do so well." The players were Mr. James Brown, Mr. Charles Wilson, Mr. Thos. Wilson, Mr. Eugene Montgomery, Mr. James Hickman, Mr. Harry Gilmore, Mr. William Hood, Mr. Nannle Nee, Mr. Sun Edwards, Mr. Willie Burns, Mr. James Grey, Mr. George Ray, Mr. Wing Jackson, Dewey the Dancing Kid, Curtis M. Harris and Leon Pryor. They appeared under the direction of H. W. Hinkle as manager, Curtis M. Harris as stage manager, Will A. Rice as advance agent and J. C. Harris as musical director. Rice and Collins were the producers of the show. The songs were tuneful, the jokes, even those that were not new, were gotten off in such style that the house was convulsed with laughter most of the time. The soloists included Chas. Wilson, Wing Jackson, James Hickman, Harry Gilmore, William Hood, Willie Burns and James Grey. When the curtain went down on the overture it found these disciples of Orpheus banked three deep with flowers given by their enthusiastic admirers. Dewey the Dancing Kid, Curtis Harris and Leon Pryor, the two comedians, with their donkeys and monkeys, their quips and pranks, made hits. It was worth the price of the show to hear Harris preach his sermon. He has earned the honorable title of Doctor of Fun, conferred by the University of Wall Street. Passing from the overture, which was splendidly set and altogether satisfying, the olio was good. It did not drag, as so many of our local productions do. The management even solved the mystery of the D. & R. G. time that the curtain usually makes, and succeeded in getting it down. Most of all, who would have thought that it was in Harry Gilmore and George Ray to put in fifteen minutes in one to the delight of everyone. They will be heard of in the future as one of our most satisfying entertainment teams. Jackson and Collins with their artillery and fun were a scream. Who is Binks: At any rate his Chinese impersonation was good enough to see again. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21 1908 The ensemble came just at the psychological moment. Dancing concluded an evening of rare enjoyment that was generally conceded to be the best thing yet seen on the local stage. ZION FORTY-THREE YEARS OLD Rev. T. L. Griffith has accepted the pastorage of Zion Baptist Church. He will be with us on or about January 1, 1909. Rev. G. W. Harts, field secretary of the Western States and Territories, will fill the pulpit of Zion Baptist Church Nov. 22, that being our forty-third anniversary. The public is cordially invited. December 10 is the date of a musical concert that will deserve the attendance of everyone. The memory of the former success of the InterGraduate Association in bringing notable talent to the city warrants the belief that in Mr. Holt, the famous Iowa tenor, Denver will receive a treat. He will appear at Shorter Church, surrounded by a galaxy of splendid talent. Miss Lillian Clay, of Fort Collons, is in the city on a visit. There will be an oyster supper and social at the home of Mrs. R. T. Anderson, 527 Twenty-sixth street, Tuesday evening, December 1, under the auspices of the Self-Improvement and Social Club. Oysters in all styles. Come out and have a good time. A. L. Ford came to the city this week. The Pendennis Club will entertain at a hop at Dania Hall New Year's eve. There has come a change at the Calumet Club, Henry Pinn succeeding to the interest formerly held by Lawrence Stephen, in partnership with him. The social features of this club have become famous from coast to coast. An enlargement of its quarters, with many improvements, are contemplated by the management, making it finer than ever. Associated with Mr. Pinn is Maurice R. Orman, a popular Chicagoan, with hosts of friends among those visiting nere. The rare conjunction of these two favoring personalities spells success. Mrs. Mitchell's baby girl is down with meningitis at the home, 3046 Walnut. When people want to throw their money away that is their business. But when they get out to buy service they have a right to get honest return. Especially is this true in the case of insurance, for in the time of sickness and death, need is insistently present, and not only must an insurance company have good intentions, but its ability to fulfill its contracts must be absolutely perfect. There is operating in this State a company known as the Western Life and Accident, of which the following is said in the "Insurance Report." Both because of the source of this information and because of the exhaustive detail with which it is given, this castigation of the methods of the Western Company should be read by all of those who have either knowledge or interest in this company: A DENVER WILDCAT DITCHED. Western Life & Accident Denied Admittance to Montana and New Mexico. Special Examiner Paul L. Woolston has just completed for the New Mexico and Montana insurance departments an examination of the affairs of the Western Life & Accident of Denver. As a result, both states refuse to permit the company to do business therein. Assets were found to be $11,785, and surplus $1,058. Extravagance and incompetence abound. Some of the things censured by Mr. Woolston are as follows: The company has in times past obtained a large proportion of its business by mail without obtaining licenses. Also business was transacted by license in several states far distant from the home office. The recently enacted laws of Colorado forbid Colorado companies to do business in other states without a license therefor, under pain of revocation or license. Hence the company appears to restrict its operations at present to the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, in which states it has been licensed for the current year of 1908. However, the compny still has members in many states where it does not write any new business. if the company are unwhatever. On October ard of directors passed the bond of the secreer at $5,000, to be fur1, 1908. At this date no compliance with been made. It should FIVE CENTS A COPY ICO WESTERN be done at once, also the president, who signs checks, should be bonded. MINUTES. The minutes since organization of the company have been examined with care. The by-laws require monthly meetings, but the minutes show that not more than three or four meetings a year, at which a quorum is present, are held. Directors are paid $25.00 per month, exclusive of officers. Directors in this company should receive only a reasonable fee for meetings actually attended in person. For any other services the remuneration should be independent. Proxies have been used on a few occasions. No attendance of members except directors is shown at meetings. The management of the company has at all times been entirely in the hands of the directors, and a recent motion provides that the proxies of members shall be voted by the president. The president has and has had practically absolute control of th ecompany. The annual meeting is held the third Monday in December. POLICIES There are two certificates or policies in present use by the company. Industrial and Ordinary, the first being on a weekly and the second a monthly premium. An examination of these forms does not disclose any serious defects. The benefits and conditions appear to be clearly stated, and are in the form usual in such classes of contracts. Attention, however, is called to the following: (1) Fifth paragraph, on page 1, providing for a dividend at the end of five years, "not to exceed" a stated amount. This paragraph was first inserted in 1903, and upon policies in which the clause has become operative in 1908 a dividend equal to 90 percent, of the premiums charged, less all claims, has been allowed. In the opinion of your examiner, this clause is inserted with the intent to deceive the public into believing that the amount stated in this clause is guaranteed, whereas, the words "not to exceed" in fine type allow the company to pay any sum it should choose. In the interests of the members of this mutual company and the insuring public, the words "not to exceed" should be required to be struck from the policy and an adequate reserve maintained to meet the Continued on page five --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. FASTING AS A RELIGIOUS RITE. Ceremonial Observed by the Japanese Twice a Year, From time out of mind, says the Japan Times, certain devotees of that country have visited a celebrated temple at Narita twice a year to per- form the pious act of fasting within its sacred precincts. A “fasting hall” has been specially erected for their accommodation and the number enter- ing this hall is on the increase. Those who have already fasted in the fasting chamber this year number 226 men and 32 women. Of the whole number 59 fasted less than a week, 174 fasted one week, ten continued fasting two weeks, 14 fasted three weeks and one went without food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the motives of the fast- ers showed that 169 men and 25 wom- en desired to rise in the world, 13 men and two women wanted to in- crease their business profits, 16 men prayed for the safety of their families, 18 men and four women sought cures of diseases and ten men wanted gen- eral good luck. Only three persons, two men and one woman, fasted in gratitude for the fulfillment of former prayers. “It need searcely be said,” remarks the Japan Times, “that the period of their fast- ing was the shortest.” WANTED: ANSWERS TO THESE. Can You Reply to Queries of Young Readers? The editor of the Children’s Enb cyclopedia hit on a happy idea the other week when he invited his young readers to send him questions that they would like answered. The ques- tions sent in have proved a veritable revelation of the strange paths into which the juvenile mind wanders. “What color was Adam?” is a prob- lem that will puzzle the anthropologist; while the Psychical Research society may be interested in the question, “Where do our spirits go when we go to sleep?” In the latter connection comes the startling query, “Why have I dreamed the same thing every night for two years?” Among genuine puzzlers, which will be read sympathetically by every wor- ried father, we may mention: “Why does time never stop?” “What is the ecrrect age of the skies?” “Why don't spiders get caught in their own webs?” “Why does white smoke make the tun- nels black?” “What is the use of fleas?” ° As a final query for our readers to puzzle over come the questions: “Why have Manx cats no tails?” and “Why do the hens cackle when they have laid an egg?” Hunter’s Tussle with a Deer. James Snook of this city had an ex- viting experience with a buck deer at Occidental, in Marin county, recently. Snook was out hunting alone and sighting the animal fired two shots. The deer fell, and thinking it was dead, Snook ran up to his prize. To his surprise the apparently dead ani- mal jumped up and rushed at him vi- ciously. Before he could protect himself Snook was knocked down and trampled into insensibility. He final- ly recovered and upon staggering to his feet, discovered the deer lying dead not more than 200 yards away. Snook sustained a fracture of two ribs by being struck by the deer’s horns when he was first thrown to the ground. In addition he was consider- ably bruised by the animal’s hoofs.— Saa Francisco Chronicle. Decay of Bullding Stones, The causes of decay in building stones are various and depend on the physical structure of the stone, its composition and the nature of the ‘Surrounding atmosphere. The most destructive agent to which the stone is exposed is rain or a moist at- mosphere, and also, in a minor de- gree, wind, frost and smoke. The air of large towns is usually charged with various deleterious acids; these acids are dissolved by the rain, which penetrates the stone in 4 greater or less degree according to its physical structure, and combines with the con- stituents of the stone, causing it to decay, so that any contrivance that will check the admission of water will be most likely to succeed in arresting decay.—Building World SAGE SAYINGS OF OSGAR.

Fiddle Church Vane. One of the most curious vanes to be seen on any church in Great Britain is at Great Gonerby, a paris. adjoining Grantham. It is in the form of a fiddle and a bow and is unusually large. Its his- tory is curious. Many years ago a peasant resided in Great Gonerby who eked out a modest livelihood by per- forming on an old violin which was al- most a part of his life. At last he de cided to emigrate, and out in the far west prospered and became a rich man One day he sent to the clergyman at Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to build a church, and attached to the sift the curious condition that a metal replica of his old fiddle and bow hould be on the summit of the edifice. The gift was accepted and the vane may still be seen on the church. The Magic Tomato. Don't give a week's salary to the ticket agent to send you back to the old farm.

What amounts almost to an archaeological railroad find has been made recently in the Allegheny river, between Oil City and Franklin, Pa.," says The Railroad Man's Magazine. It goes on to say: "Half a mile of ties and rails were found. The rails bore the stamped trade-mark 'B. B. I. C.' indicating that they were made by the Brady's Bend Iron Company. This was the first company to manufacture iron for railroads west of the Alleghenies. As the Franklin branch of the Erie when it was the Atlantic & Great Western, and the Franklin & Jamestown branch of the Lake Shore, both followed the course of the river, there would seem to be some doubt as to which of the roads lost a half-mile of track in a landslide, without resort to further records. The Brady's Bend Company has been out of business for about forty years." Thieves' Official Organ. The Bostatska Gazetar (Newspaper for the Barefooted), a weekly which made its appearance in Moscow a couple of months ago, was at first believed to be a humorous paper and the authorities paid little attention to it. It is now apparent that it is the official organ of Russian thieves Every week accounts of the latest burglaries and thefts are given, and then follows an editorial chat in which mistakes that have led to discovery are criticised and various points of technique discussed. Free advice is given in the correspondence column to thieves, and subscribers are strongly advised to avoid bloodshed whenever possible. So far the police have been baffled in their attempts to discover the publishers of this remarkable journal. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Nothing can atone for want of truth.—Ruskin.

Students are in attendance from as far east as Illi- nois and Ohio, from as far south as Mississippi and Arkansas, from as far north as Minnesota and Dakota, and from as far west as Oregon and Cali- fornia. From every important county in Kansas, students have flocked to this fountain of up-to-date learning, where thinkers are taught to work skillfully, and workers are taught to think skillfully. The small towns and cities of Missouri have increased their attendance, the land-rich and big business negroes of Oklahoma have sent their sons and daughters in greater numbers than ever before, and Colorado has sent down its best and highest type of representative young manhood and womanhood. ‘Ihe recent election of Governor Stubbs means greater appropriations from the State of Kansas, more trades, uew brildings and greater institution next year.

GILMORE Undertaker and Embalmer Carriages Furnished for all Occasions Open Day and Night 1921 Arapahoe St Denver’s Leading Undertaker FAST TIME ON THE RAIL. Record of Speed Achieved in Various Countries. The New York World Almanac gives the fastest time on record for a dis- tance of over 440 miles as made by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway from Buffalo to Chicago in June, 1905, 535 miles in 7 hours and 50 minutes, or a speed of 69.69 miles per hour, excluding stops. Among the fastest regular trains in the United States, for a shorter distance are be- lieved to be the New York Central “Empire State Express,” between New York and Albany, 143 miles in 150 minutes, and the “Congressional? Lim- Ited,” on the Pennsylvania railroad, which makes the run from Jersey City, N. J., to Washington, a distance of 227 miles, in four hours and 46 min- utes. Of long distance runs in France one is made on the Northern railway of France by the Paris-Calais express, which runs 185 miles in 184% minutes, or a fraction over a mile a minute, al- lowing for a stoppage of two and one- half minutes at Amiens. The German Railway Journal in the second week of July, 1907, made the claim that the highest speed ever attained had just been made on several trips during that week between Munich and Augs- burg, on the Bavarian State railway. The train weight was 150 tons and a speed of 96% miles an hour was re- peatedly maintained for a considerable period. Causes of Railroad Accidents. According to the records of the in- terstate commerce commission there were 7,432 derailments on railroads in the United States during the year ending June 30, 1907. These accidents resulted in the death of 515 persons and the injury of 6,595. This was an Increase of 1,871 derailments over the previous year, with a proportionate in- crease in fatalities and injuries. A study of the causes shows that a little more than two-thirds of these accl- dents were due to defects in equip- ment, the remainder to defects in road- way. The trouble is attributed large ly to the enormous increase [n traffic, which in recent years has exceeded the carrying capacity of the roads, ne- cessitating the use of every car and en- Gine“*tapable of rurining, and subject- \ng the permanenent structures to un- exampled strain. Rapld and Good Work. A gang of Great Northern railroad engineers and platelayers one recent Sunday gave a remarkable display of rapid bridge-building, according to an English newspaper. A bridge outside Harringay station over the Midland railway’s line had to be widened, and two enormous girders were construct- ed. During the week supports for the girders were built under the old bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf- fic of the Saturday night had been dealt with gangs of men, working in relays, pulled ap the rails, demolished the old bridge, and carted the debris away. By eight p. m. both girders had been hoisted into position, and at midnight the permanent way was in order again. Hurt in Peculiar Accident. A peculiar accident has occurred near Corry, Pa. R. L. Broadwick, a Lake Shore brakemzn, was badly hurt the other night, when a gale of wind blew the roof off 4 box car on which he was riding. He sustained a fractured shoulder and internal in- furies.

Garrett Tuesday of this week. The pastor and members are planning a Thanksgiving dinner. Rev. Hill left for Silverton, Colo., Wednesday, to spend Sunday. The parsonage consists of four rooms newly furnished. GRAND JUNCTION NEWS. Our little city has now opened the social events. On Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Colston entertained in honor of the Sunday school at an apple dumpling social, with the assistance of Mesdames T. Miller, N. J. Smith and U. Norman, thirty-three persons being present. The evening was pleasantly spent, and everyone seemed to have been delighted. Each dumpling was sold for 10 cents, and $7.60 was realized. Miss Eleanora Hodge and Mrs. Lucy Burnnett, of Raton, N. Mex., came to to the city two weeks ago to be present at the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Sallie Williams, who leaves a mother and father, husband, four sisters and five children to mourn her departure. Since the return of Rev. J. H. Smith to Handy Chapel, A. M. E. Church, it is moving on progressively. Two strong sermons were preached Sunday, and two added their names to the Church of God. The Sunday school is doing excellent work and having splendid attendance. The following are officers for the coming year: Mrs. N. J. Smith, superintendent; Miss M. Colquitt, assistant superintendent; Mrs. Tillie Miller, teacher of primary class; Mrs. N. Colston, teacher of intermediate class; Miss M. Colquitt, teacher of Bible class; Mr. Marcus Hines, secretary; Miss Ethel McNair, assistant secretary; Miss Edna Price, treasurer. The Progressive Literary Society is reorganizing, but the officers are not all elected as yet. Mrs. John M. Hines was indisposed last week. There will be given at Handy Chapel, A. M. E. Church and parsonage on Thanksgiving eve, a Snatch Penny social which will include lots of amusement, especially the hand organ man, Jew peddler, an old ragged apple peddler, popcorn girls, peanut boys and various booths. Everyone is invited. Admission five pennies. A grand time is expected. Rev. Smith wishes to announce to the public that on Thanksgiving morning a sermon will be preached at Handy Chapel, A. M. E. Church, and wishes every member and friend to be present. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Phone Main 3230 The Old Reliable Coal Dealer J. N. B.

In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of God of Heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily." But, still more wonderful, in the eighth verse of the third chapter of Zephaniah is contained every letter, including finals of the Hebrew language. How a Cat Caught Two Rats. I once had a cat who did a rather remarkable ratting feat. 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 other. 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, and promptly killed them both.—Scotsman. Crowded Out. "I put myself into my playing," remarked the ardent musician. "That," replied Miss Cayenne, "may explain why it is sometimes difficult to recognize the composer." Cupid's Hearty Appetite. "You know," said the soulful youth, "music is the food of love—" "Nonsense!" replied the practical fellow. "My love prefers lobster salad, ferragia and other expensive faddes."

William Bradford, who was governor of the Plymouth colony from 1620 (with the exception of five years, when he refused election) till his death in 1657, was the first to observe an annual Thanksgiving Day, and since 1620 every year this annual festival is kept by our nation. The Church of God in all ages has had its special times of thanksgiving. There is more said of praise and thanksgiving in the Bible than of prayer, and the chief aim of special seasons of thanksgiving is to remind us to be thankful not only on special occasions, but at all times. We should at all times and in all places give thanks to God for his innumerable blessings. The spirit of thankfulness is so proper and befitting that no one should fail to cultivate it. We should thank God for our personal, spiritual and national blessings. Our personal blessings, our lives, our health, our friends and our many comforts we enjoy. Thank God for our spiritual blessings; His Word, which is a lamp to our feet—our Guide-Chart; His Church, which exerts a wholesome and saving influence, everywhere it is established, and if it does not reach and save all, keeps untold numbers from being lost. Thank God for our national blessings; our free land; our many institutions of learning, public and private, sectarian and non-sectarian; our peace and prosperity. Some might ask the question: Am I to be thankful for everything—misfortunes, bereavements, pain, and the many ills that befall us in life? The message from God's Word is not to give thanks for everything, but to give thanks in everything. In I. Thessalonians, fifth chapter, eighteenth verse, we read these words: "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." God, who knows us altogether, has, and will ever be mindful of our race if we look to Him for guidance and protection. Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, saith the Psalmist, and what is true of nations in this respect is true of a race and individuals.

THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Rev. B. F. Bates preached a very logical and spiritual sermon Sunday forenoon from the subject, "Jesus the Best Friend." His text was: "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." A spiritual wave seemed to pass over the congregation. The services were very good all day, and many were heard to say, "Our hearts burned within us as he spoke of the 'Great Friend Jesus.'" The Thanksgiving Dinner and Literary Program promises to be second to none and a great success. Everybody is invited to be present and witness the program and enjoy a fine turkey dinner. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. Pray for the things you want, but work for the things you must have. Before accepting a favor look for the string that may be tied to it. Complaining of the folly of fashion is as useless as complaining when the weather is bad. Never tell a friend anything that would not look well in print with your name signed to it. You didn't have the right kind of a good time if you are not good natured the next day after you had it. Working after you have had a few glasses of beer in the middle of the day is like trying to work after dark.

Funeral Directors king and Shipping STREET DENVER, COLORADQ PATIENTLY_PROGRESSING PAGE 2 Do you belong in a house? Or do you belong in the immense universe? There's a wide difference between the two. The roof is his sky, the four walls have become his horizon. Man was made a sturdy universe-dwelling animal. In the first case you go out doors only when you have to. In the second you go indoors only when you have to. He has made of himself a delicate, house-encompassed weakling. He would be fifty times healthier if he spent more hours out of doors. Strange that he should have become so much a foreigner to the open air and the sky! There are women who never go out of the house from one week's end to another. There are children who never get their little noses out in the air all winter long. These are the people who continually have colds and need medicines and doctors. Everybody, man, woman and tiniest child, should spend some time outdoors every day of their lives, no matter what the weather and temperature.—Pittsburg Dispatch. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. A mother should tell her daughter That work is worthy always when it is well done. That the value of money is just the good it will do in life, but that everybody should know and appreciate its value. Teach her that her own room is her nest, and that to make it sweet and attractive is a duty as well as a pleasure. That the best confidante is always her mother, and that no one can sympathize with her in her pleasures and joys as a mother can. That unless she shows courtesy to others she cannot expect it from them, and that the best answer to rudeness is being blind to it. That the man who really wishes to marry her is the one that tells her so and is willing to work for her, not the one who merely whispers silly love speeches. Tell her that if she can either sing or read, or draw, or give pleasure in any way by her accomplishments, she is selfish and unkind if she does not do this gladly. Teach her to be a woman; self-respecting, honest, loving and kind, and then you will be the mother of a daughter whom it will be a pleasure to claim as your own.—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. It's about as useful to think you are a genius as to be one. A man's honor can be pawned, but it can never be redeemed. A woman worries over chapped knees as if everybody knew it. A woman wants you to give her her way so she can give the children theirs. The envy of those who lack a thing is a large part of its value to those who possess it. Bad business is welcome to a woman so she can blame it for her husband being cross. When a girl is interested in a man she is more afraid to let him know it than other people. A man gives his grandfather the blame for his failings and himself the credit for his grandchildren's good looks. A hard thing is to be as sincere as you think you are or as insincere as other people think you are.—New York Press. BY THE GENTLE CYNIC. So long as a man isn't miserable he ought to be happy. The fellow who blows his own horn may come out at the little end of it. Sometimes fate makes a hero of a man, but he can't always hold the job. After all perhaps a rolling stone is more to be desired than a rolling gait. Many a fellow doesn't get married because the girl's father can't afford it. A man shouldn't get his back up just because he is told to hump himself. If by any chance a woman should ask you to guess her age, lie like a gentleman. Many a man complains that he is misunderstood when he is really unintelligible. Just because a man can't keep a straight face don't jump to the conclusion that he is crooked. Lots of women seem to exercise more judgment in choosing their friends than in choosing their husbands. BY THE WAY. Why is it that a train is always late when you are early? The man who is part of the show misses most of the fun. When you go out for something be sure and get the goods. There is nothing like a private grievance to stimulate a man to public action. Why is it that the person who is of no particular account always thinks he can write? ```markdown ``` YOU ALL KNOW ME All Wool Pants to Measure.....$3.50 All Wool Suits to Measure.....$16.00 Five Hundred Styles to select from at COHEN'S PHONE 1461 WALTE Groceries, Vegetables, I OUR SPECIALTIES FO Established 1896 61 2300-2308 WALTER EAST , Vegetables, Fruits, Meats, Del R SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMING WEE ETABLES MEATS Groceries, Vegetables, Fruits, Meats, Delicatessen OUR SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMING WEEK VEGETABLES A Fresh line of Vegetables received daily: Radishes, Potatoes, Lettuce, Onions, Cabbage, Turnips, Spinach, Tomatoes etc. Also Canned Goods We handle nothing but the best.

JONES TRAINED NURSE Residence 3763 Franklin St., Denver Wealth of Hokkaido Island. Wealth of Hokkaido Island. The Island of Hokkaido is one of Japan's most valuable properties. Its mineral production (largely coal) increased from $1,280,000 in 1896 to nearly $7,000,000 in 1907, and this is with only a very small part of its mineral field exploited. In order as named the leading minerals are coal, sulphur, gold, silver and manganese. The coal is superior to that of other districts in Japan. Many ships from the Pacific coast of the United States call at the port of Muroran for coal. This is the foundation for the great Muroran iron and steel industry, now being formed by British and Japanese capitalists. In four mines in this locality the underlying coal is estimated at 600,000,000 tons. Oyster Shells as Window Glass. On the west coast of India is found a species of oyster, Placuma placenta, whose shell consists of a pair of roughly circular plates about six inches in diameter, thin and white. At present these oysters are collected for the pearls which they often contain, although few are fit for the use of the jeweler. But in the early days of English rule in India the shells were employed for window panes. Cut into little squares, they produced a very pretty effect, admitting light like frosted glass. When the Bombay cathedral was built, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, its windows were paned with these oyster shells. In Goa they are still thus employed. Paraguayan "Sugar Plant." An herb, called by the natives can she, but botanically Eupatorium rebaudianum, grows wild in Paraguay. It is remarkable for its sweetness. Indeed, the native name means the "sugar plant." It grows along the borders of the river Amambahl, and attains a height of only about five inches. The smallest bit of this plant when placed upon the tongue produces a surprisingly sweet savor, which, it is said, lasts for hours. The saccharine power is much greater than that of sugar. Recent investigation indicates that the nectareous element in this plant closely resembles that of the licorice root. Morning Topic. The duty of the young man toward his future self is the greatest duty that he has. It is greater than his duty to parents, friends or society, for it includes all these. We should so live that our future selves shall have nothing to reproach us for. Keep clean, keep the body clean from vice, from drink, from drugs. Keep the mind clean. Don't fill it with poor jokes, with cheap music or foul thought.—David Star Jordan. Training Imbeciles. Given better surroundings, a considerable proportion of these defectives would not become criminals at all. It is probable indeed that very many, especially of the highest grade imbeciles, might almost as easily be trained in a harmless as a harmful direction, though all require continuous regulation and control from outside.

It is clearly within the bounds of truth when we say that the l'iterary had the greatest crowd this year to hear the very excellent program. Prof. Holly and his assistants, as a trio, did fine in the vocal and instrumental numbers. The house went wild over them and they were compelled to respond with several encores. Mrs. Genevieve Chapman performed in her accustomed pleasing manner. Nothing would satisfy the audience but an encore. The debate was interesting. The negative, because of the failure of the affirmative to acquaint the judges and the audience with the facts about Liberia, were compelled to present both sides. Because Liberia had no railways, telephones, telegraph, street cars, sewerage, not many, if any, hospitals, blind or insane asylums, and because the negroes to go there would have to sell 746,717 farms which contain more area in square miles than is contained in all of Liberia, and because the negroes would be deprived of the political, social, industrial, agricultural, financial, sanitary, fraternal, benevolent and charitable advantages of the latest and most upto-date environments of other races and their products, and because little Liberia is a bankrupt government, as she owes interest on $500,000 for 134, the judges, Messrs. Porter, Gorman and Dr. Harper, decided for the negative. WELL, HELLO, BILL TAFT! Are you going to see Anna Hicks' Tiny Tots Thursday, November 26, at Shorter's Church. Only 10c.

To a well filled house, Mrs. Steele, a benevolent worker among the negroes of the South, certainly entertained and profitably benefited all the congregation at Shorter to such an extent, and the lesson of brotherly and sisterly charity was so strongly demonstrated that it appealed to each of the hearer's minds as potently as if it had been a sermon. Rev. Ward certainly has shown unique wisdom in bringing such information to his people about their own welfare and doings. Those who heard the little boy recite the Psalms, the books of the Bible (66) were glad to know how God can move and touch hearts.

Williams of Campbell Church. AMID SACRED SERVICE REV. REYNOLDS LAUNCHES BETH- LEHEM BAPTIST—FINANCIAL SUCCESS. Whenever any place of amusement is newly opened, or wheneve, any business is started anew, there is little if any comment, but if there are several churches whose missions are nothing but doing good, some harsh criticism or sharp comment can be heard, 'tis strange to say. We are strong in the belief that nothing good ever hurts us, and for that reason we welcome the good. The little Baptist mission formerly in Walnut street, but now 2716 Lerimer, was doing a peculiar work among a class of people whose souls to God are just as precious as ours, that no other church or denomination was doing. For an able man like Rev. A. E. Reynolds, whose Christian life is blameless, to so sacrifice as to assume the burden of raising and developing that struggling mission into a sturch is not only Christlike, praiseworthy and ennobling, but it clearly shows how far "self" is removed from him in his religion. The people of Denver appreciated the work done in the community by the reverend gentleman, for they showed it by the great outpouring to his church The Statesman only bids Rev. Reynolds to go on rising, and it feels safe in saying that the community will not let you fall, because ONE with CHRIST is a majority. A very religious time was had, and a large financial success was the result. I've said my last farewell, Bop Bop! Good bye. Meet me at Shorter's, 26th, 10c. On November 7. Mrs. J. J.

WILL GIVE A Turkey Dinner ON THANKSGIVING, NOV. 26 AT 2051 Lawrence St. DINNER 25c HAVRE NEWS. A bishop could have been no more honored than was Dr. J. C. Coleman, presiding elder Puget Sound A. M. E. Conference. Long before the date of the conference, the pastor, Rev. S. E. Bailey was notified that the cordialities of unlimited hospitality would be extended him, and to verity uneir sincerity we were invited to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Barnes, and there in the dining room of dazzling beauty, where the tables were so lavishly spread with the luxuries of the season, it was our pleasure to meet Mrs. Sgt. P. Conolly and son. Having enjoyed the royal reception, we then returned to the church. Every seat was filled, awaiting the arrival of the desert traveler. The Doctor ascended the rostrum, dressed in his robe, while every eye was fastened upon the man of God. Miss Laurina A. Spaulding touched the keys of the organ as a signal that "The Lord Is in His Holy Temple." The pastor arose and read the hymn, "There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood," which was then sung by the choir. The presiding elder took as his text, "Prepare to Meet Thy God," the speaker acquitting himself as a scholar and an able preacher. Thursday evening was the regular meeting night of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Literary Society. The garch was again taxed to its utmost capacity to hear this sublime speaker. He made a strong and effective appeal to his audience for race unity, and he so graphically portrayed the life and work of Dunbar that tears found their way down the cheeks of his hearers. Having opened the quarterly conference, Sergt. T. H. Allsup was elected secretary. Reports were read from all departments of the church by Miss Viola Spaulding, Miss Birdella Johnson and the secretary, which showed an increase along all lines. Thus ended the most interesting quarterly meeting ever held in St. Luke A. M. E. Church. With the presiding elder go the prayers, good will and best wishes of the citizens of Hayre. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS Rev. Geo. W. Harts, the field secretary of the Western Baptist Convention, is in our city for a few days looking over matters of interest connected with his church. The reverend gentleman is also agent for the California Colony Association, who hold a large tract of land to be colonized by the negro. He made several sales of five-acre tracts while in the city. He expects to return to his home in Pasadena in about two months. Mrs. William Morris and Mrs. Mabel Faucett chaperoned a nice surprise party in honor of Mrs. T.

Kansas City for the benefit of his health. A. B. C. Mathews has been quite sick but is some better. Rev. W. H. Prince, the efficient presiding elder of this district, was a welcome visitor to our city last week. While here he held one of the most successful quarterly meetings that we have ever had. He preached a soul-stirring sermon to a full house last Sunday evening. He also occupied the pulpit Wednesday evening, his discourse being much appreciated. He left the following morning for the West. While in our city he was the recipient of many nice dinners given in his honor. William Whiteside left for Winslow last week, where he is to take charge of one of the best equipped barber shops in that city. Mrs. Johnnie Cornell, one of our best entertainers, entertained at a fine turkey dinner last Sunday. Mrs. James Slaughter, Miss Neoma Cornell of Topeka, Mr. H. Bramlett, A. R. Smith and T. O. Mason were invited guests. Mr. W. R. Smith of El Paso and Miss Maud Leach were quietly married last Wednesday. Their friends wish them success. The national election is over and we are pleased to announce that our territory went Republican, also our county. The negroes almost to a man voted the straight Republican ticket, with the several clubs in existence not to the contrary. We would like to see the negroes of this city work as hard and earnestly next four years for a commercial and business advantage as they did on election day. We predict that the negro would soon become the merchant kings of the city. Then we would be far more successful and happy; then politics would hunt for us; then we would not have to spend so much of our time in looking for political favors.

Further, it is doubtful whether the power to grant endowment benefits is anticipated by the laws of the several states to mutual assessment companies. Such power should be restricted to organizations providing for these benefits in clear terms and maintaining a sufficient reserve therefor. (2) The new law in Colorado, adapted in 1907, requires companies of this class to state the maximum amount collectable from members. The company complies with this law in the fourth paragraph on page 2, where the maximum liability is restricted to twelve monthly premiums, and the minimum liability to eleven. In other words, the policies are not assessment at all, but practically as uxed in premium payments as any stock company. The president claims that the company is charging the highest rate in the United States, which statement has been verified. If the company possessed a large capitalization, the certificates might assure the rull payment of any future losses. Such, however, is not the fact, and there is no absolute security for the payment of any future losses should the premiums be wasted in abnormal expense, as appeals to be the case at present. For this uncertain insurance members are paying a higher rate, according to the company's own statement, than for similar insurance in the strongest and most treputable companies in the country. It is difficult to see how this company can be licensed in accordance with law—as an assessment institution. The loss paper and correspondence herewith was examined by Mr. Lineau, and he states that the company appears to comply with the policy requirements without any apparent effort to avoid the payment of just claims. There seems to be much misunderstanding regarding the claims that may be made under the policies, but this is to be expected from the classes of people insured by the company. A company known as the "Western Life and Accident Association" was organized in Seattle, Wash., early this year by the vice-president of the Denver company. The similar name assumed is suggestive, especially as said association does not appear to be licensed by any state. In order to show what connection there is or was aware. It may be repeated that the president of the Seattle company is between these two companies, if any, a series of questions was submitted to the president for his own sworn replies. The affidavit is enclosed herewith, marked 9, which indicates that the companies are entirely independent as far as the president is still receiving $100 a month from the Denver company as vice-president thereof. The general methods of the company are not believed to be worthy of confidence. A mail business and soliciting by unlicensed agents was resorted to regularly until the present year, when the Colorado law forbade it. The company has not heretofore shown any disposition to comply with the laws of the various states. The manipulation of the salary account is questionable. The class of people written and the absence of any apparent intent to treat the company as a mutual organization all appear to bear out the above statement. As to the kind of business in which the company deals it would appear that this insurance can be and is fur- PAGE. 8 panies worthy of the support of the public, at less cost for the benefits conferred. There is no justification for a so-called mutual organization of this character unless it can furnish equally reliable protection at less cost, and this the Western Life and Accident Company does not do. The premium amounts to at least $1.75 per month, plus a membership fee of $5, which cannot be considered as cheap insurance. For $26 a year there would be no difficulty in obtaining reliable insurance in a stock company with a much higher less ratio and smaller expense ratio. Deputy Lineau of the New Mexico department had charge of the examination on behalf of that territory. The activity of this department and the ruling against the Denver company shows that New Mexico doesn't propose to admit any wild-cat or irresponsible concerns. Montana, too, is to be praised for refusing it admittance. MAKE MONEY FOR STATE. Saxon Railroads Well Run and Pay Good Dividends. The report for 1906 of the administration of the Saxon state railroads shows them to be as financially successful as the Prussian and Bavarian lines. Saxony has about £50,000,000 invested in her railways. In 1906 the gross revenue was £7,600,000, an increase of nearly £600,000 for the year. The total outgoings were £5,000,000, an increase of £240,000 over 1905. Thus the net profits to the Saxon government on the working of its railways for 1906 amounted to the substantial sum of £2,600,000, or over five per cent. on the capital. So that all interest and sinking fund charges are easily met and a balance left over in relief of taxation. The Saxon chancellor of the exchequer counts the Saxon state railways, and, it may be added, the Saxon state forests, most valuable assets. As in Prussia, four classes of trains are run, and the workmen's fares are as low as six miles a penny. Railway rates are moderate, and equipment generally good and improving. In particular the station restaurants are a feature. The waiting rooms are restaurants where the ubiquitous German glass of light beer is nearly always indulged in by the waiting passenger. German trains keep good time here as in other parts of the empire, but travel is not so fast as in either England or America. That, of course, is characteristic. The German rarely hurries, but he "gets there" without fail, whether in science or in business. Saxony has almost precisely the same proportion of train mileage in proportion to population as we have. But while 2,000 miles of Saxon railways are capitalized at $50,000,000, 20,000 miles of British railways are capitalized at £1,300,000,000. That point, as in the case of Prussia, is the most important which emerges from a study of the Saxon railway figures. London Daily News.

"Well, Mrs. Rosenberg, you should have seen me," said one out-getting-the-air woman to another last evening on West Callowhill street. "There was all my lovely dishes and my cutglass punch bowl broken, broken in a thousand pieces. She had dropped the whole tray. There she was, looking at me, with all my lovely china on the floor. Ach, Gott, it was awful! I could hardly get my breath. I was so mad and so excited. I just looked at her, and what do you think I said, Mrs. Rosenberg, what do you think I said to her?" "Oh, oh, oh, I can't imagine, Mrs. Schmidt. What did you say? What did you say?" "Not one word. Not one single word. She thought I was going to scold her; but I never opened my mouth. And I never do, Mrs. Rosenberg, no matter what she breaks or what she does. Why, she has broken more than $20 worth of china, cut glass and furniture and burned up some of my best underclothes when she irons. Every washday she lets some of my fine things blow off the roof or forgets to bring them down and they are stolen; but I never say one word to her. That is the way I keep her. All my friends have trouble with their maids and are always changing, but Minna stays with us. If I let her see I was mad and scolded her all the time, I would be sitting on a chair in an employment agency trying to get maids. No, ma'am, keep your mouth shut is my plan, and you can keep your servants." "Ain't it the truth?" said Mrs. Rosenberg, admiringly.—Philadelphia Ledger. Happy Ignorance. Francis Wilson, the noted comedian, apropos of certain curios whereon he believed he had been duped, said with a light laugh: "The collector, as he pursues his hobby, grows in knowledge. Then, reviewing his collection, he sadly finds many an instance where he has been duped. "The one drawback to knowledge is that it reveals so many dupes and swindles to us. One summer, for instance, I was doing Switzerland. "In the neighborhood of Geneva, where the Swiss talk French, I climbed a little peak one fine morning, and on my arrival at the chalet at the top I heard the pretty handmaiden call into the kitchen in excellent French: 'Quick, mother, quick! Here's a tourist. Put some milk on the fire. You know they always like it warm from the cow.'" Major General Wood in Europe. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood was in attendance at the maneuvers of the German army in Alsace-Lorraine, which came to an end September 10. He speaks highly of the courtesy of the German military authorities. From Saarbrucken Gen. Wood went to France, where he was present at the French maneuvers. Need Laborers for Harvest. Canadian railroads have been advertising excursions at low rates to induce laborers to go out to the western grain fields. The estimated crop of wheat for 1908 is 110,000,000 bushels, which it will require more than 20,000 men to harvest. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. VERSE WORTH READING The Undiscovered Country. Could we but know The land that ends our dark, uncertain travels, Where lie those happier hills and meadows low; Ah, if beyond the spirit's inmost cavils Aught of that country we could surely know, Who would not go? Might we but hear The hovering angels' high imagined chorus, Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes and clear, One radiant vista of the realm before us, With one rapt moment given to see and hear, Ah, who would fear? Were we quite sure To find the peerless friend who left us lonely, Or there, by some celestial stream as pure, To gaze in eyes that here were love-lit only, This weary, mortal coil, were we quite sure, Who would endure? —Edmund Clarence Stedman.

And bound are we as brothers in bond that never fails. We have marked the trembling vision in the desert's upper air, Where life is prone and swooning in the noonday's furnace glare; And some of us were silenced and slept as weary should, But those of us who answer are souls in brotherhood. The bond that ties the trailmen has lashed us heart to heart; No ritual contains it—there is no actor's part; No man has ever voiced it, yet strong the spell it lays, Upon the spirits, daring, that thread the untrod ways. —Denver Republican.

The framers of the Constitution of the United States were still imbued with the spirit of the Declaration or Independence when they wrote that immortal document, and with their souls swept of all sedlfishness and meanness, laid the foundation of a government dedicated to liberty and equality. With the passage of time, human frailty asserted itself as it always will, and slavery grafted itself upon the commonwealth, apparently with the sanction of the Constitution. Again Providence decreed that as ye sow so shall ye reap, and the harvest of blood of the sixties brought forth an amended Constitution that was clear in its declaration concerning the rights of citizens, having in view especially the colored citizen. Now again, after a lapse of forty years, by subterfuge and evasion, the Constitution is being nullified through the instrumentality of the states portending another burning away of the dross from the body politic. It does not seem to us to be possible for the Supreme Court of the United States to be always seeking to do the negro injustice in its decisions, yet these decisions are steadil yagainst us. It seems to us to be far more probable that the Civil War regenerated the nation but did not reach down into the machinery of states and take away their ability to do us harm. The dual system of government that prevails in the United States brings about the possibility of a state doing by evasion what the national government says shall not be done. The Supreme Court may be giving good law in its decisions: but, whether it is or not, this we do know, that there must come some time a squaring of accounts for injustices perpetrated. We hope for a peaceful revolution; we hope that right will be done because it is right. In the meanwhile, until public opinion will make effective law treating all citizens alike, we hope Mr. Taft, should he appoint justices to the Supreme bench, will name men like Justice Harlan, who look at the equity of cases affecting us rather than at the letter of the law. Law is meant to make for right, not for injustice and oppression, and it is the wise judge who keeps the end in view while struggling through its labyrinth. In our news columns we announce the acceptance by Rev. Griffith, of Des Moines, of the call to the pastorate of Zion Baptist Church, the pioneer church of the denomination in the West. The acceptance of the can comes just at the time of the 19ththird anniversary of the church, and means that it will begin its new year, for the new pastor comes in January, with all forces marshalled for greater things. Denver has reason to be proud of this church. It is magnificent in its past and in its future possibilities. Its tremendous realty holdings, its great membership, are characteristic of our Eastern rather than our Western churches, and in the name of the whole people we take PAGE.8. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The ordinary parlor stove is used by Herr Gutzah of Berlin as a receptacle for an electric radiator, consisting of a wire or carbon of suitable resistance, and in this way is converted into an electric heater more satisfactory than those hitherto tried. Too great local drying of the air is a usual fault of electric heating. With the new arrangement the air circulation produced by the stove rapidly distributes the heat and at the same time gives ventilation and prevents excessive drying. The ordinary current consumption warms an average room in about an hour. With the large tile stoves so common in Germany the heat is retained a long time, and the cost of keeping the room comfortable is moderate. Inventor of Portland Cement. Isaac Charles Johnson, the inventor of Portland cement, is still living in Gravesend, Eng., and active, at the age of 98. He was born in the year 1810, when George III. was king and Jefferson was president, and when Napoleon was at the zenith of his power. Mr. Johnson won an education under many difficulties, as his parents were poor. In early manhood he became an architect, and a house which he built in the Elizabethan style is still standing at Swanscourt in Kent. It was at this time that he first invented Portland cement, which was first introduced into this country by Levi P. Morton. Future of the Chinese. Sir Robert Hart, director-general of Chinese customs, declares that the Chinese are destined to become a powerful nation; but with such an immense mass the work must go slow, and by the time they are organized along modern lines, even if they were aggressive, which they are not, they will know how to temper their strength with wisdom. As to the "yellow peril," Sir Robert said he thought that, though the Chinese are likely to become formidable competitors in industrial and trading matters, they will not cause the world any special trouble.

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.

Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hopeless 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 wonoerful 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, 1123 Welton Street. Phone Main 8752. It is a dream to tell how Mayzelma Stell will carry away the house while the birthday party goes on. Only 10c on the 26th. Shorter. THANKSGIVING UNION MEETING OF THE CHURCHES. President Roosevelt breaks away from the conventions even in the matter of writing a Thanksgiving proclamation. After remarking that "innigs of the body are good, the things of the intellect are better, but best of all are the things of the soul," and that "in the nation, as in the individual, in the long run it is character that counts," so strong is the militant spirit within him that he admonishes: "Let us, therefore, as people set our faces resolutely against evil, and with broad charity, with kindliness and good will toward all men, but with unflinching determination to smile down wrong, strive with all the strength that is given for righteousness in public and private life." Our strenuous President would not have even the day annually set apart for national giving of thanks to be observed in the spirit of passivity, in debauch and revelry, and without a doubt he is right about the matter. Man's life upon earth is a constant warfare, both of the spirit and of the flesh. We must ever be alert to "smite down wrong" and, often enough, it is the wrong that is born in our souls which cries aloud for the smiting. In consequence of the last statement, the ministers of this city, as in former years, have agreed to have a rousing spirit-fire preaching service at Shorter next Thursday morning, when Rev. Murphy will preach. All of those who have attended on former COLORADO. occasions know the religious blessing, the spiritual uplift, the brotherly and sisterly awakening that comes to one who has attended such good enthusiastic services, know that everytning this year points even to a greater arousing. Shorter Church will be crowded to standing room, the religious fire and spiritual enthusiasm when sisters and brothers of all classes and denominations come together and worship will easily burst out in ardent "Amens," "Glory to God" and "Hallelujahs." Every sinner and every backslider who had mothers, sisters and brothers that are Christians are specially invited to come for your people's sake. No matter if it is the first time in years, the appeal is made to come, and God knows your hearts will be lightened and your lives blest. There won't be a person on the street nor in the home, but all will be out to hear Cuthbert Byrd in Anna Hicks' Toodlems on the 26th for 10c. Standing room that night 5c. Miss Beulah Meyer, of New York City, and Miss Pauline Lee, of Chicago, were visiting their cousin, Mrs. Robert Parker of 2630 Walnut street. FOR RENT—Furnished room for gentleman; close in.
