As Reported by the National Negro Business League. The total assets of the Pioneer Building and Loan Association of Greensboro, N. C., as shown by the recently issued annual report, are $18,561.73. The total value of the 11 series issued up to that time was $15,336.70. Mr. J. E. Dellinger is president and Prof. James B. Dudley is secretary and treasurer. Mr. Jesse Binga, 3633 State street, Chicago, has recently opened a private bank, which is meeting with success and with prospects favorable. Before embarking in the banking business Mr. Binga had been conducting a realty and loan business, which he will also continue just the same. The negroes of Temple, Texas, own more nice homes than in any other city of its size in the state. Their dwellings are of the most improved and modern style. M. D. Butts, near Calvert, Texas, owns 600 acres of Robertson county land. He gathered 50 bales of cotton this year. He has 20 mules, 50 cows, 25 horses, 30 hogs and hundreds of chickens, etc. He is said to be worth fully $30,000. The Baltimore Steam Boat company, incorporated under the laws of Maryland with an authorized capital stock of $60,000, makes its initial bow to the public. Their certificate of incorporation authorizes them to engage in water excursions, bathing, beach and hotel business. The whole outfit is owned and managed by a company of energetic business men of the race, with Mr. George W. Brown as president. The first regularly organized state fair the negroes ever held in South Carolina was opened the 10th of November and continued throughout the week. The press, both white and colored, pronounced it a decided success, not only in point of attendance but in the extensive display of exhibits representing almost every kind of industry, and at the same time making an excellent showing in the educational field. Governor Ansel was the principal speaker of the occasion, and his encouraging remarks were enthusiastically cheered by the 10,000 visitors present on the grounds. The governor and hundreds of other white visitors expressed themselves as being agreeably surprised at the abundance, the variety and the excellence of the exhibits. To add to the credit and good reputation of the race, the local papers observe that during the week the streets were crowded with well-dressed and prosperous looking negroes; that perfect order prevailed and not a drunken or disorderly one was seen anywhere. The Local Negro Business League of Louisville, Ky., is beginning to make preparations for the entertainment of the National body next August. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of the leading business and professional men on the night of the 12th of November. In this meeting the officers of the league, who are to have charge of affairs during the session of the National Organization were elected. Mr. D. L. Knight was made president, Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary, and Mr. Cary B. Lewis, publicity agent. Mr. Lewis is correspondent of the Courier Journal and of the Indianapolis Freeman. The citizens and press, both white and colored, are with the local league; and as soon as President Knight appoints his different committees, the real work of the local league for the entertainment of the National body will begin. The people of Louisville will undoubtedly be equal to the emergency, as their reputation for hospitality and entertainment is national. FOR RENT-A nicely furnished rooom.

Last Thursday evening, while the citizens of this city were enjoying the festivities of a glorious Thanksgiving day, J. P. Mitchell, the head bartender of the Alvarado hotel of the Harvey House System, went to the residence of Rev. W. T. Thornton and wife, while they were at the A. M. E. church entertainment, and finding his wife alone shot her three times in the head. Mitchell then went to his room on Hazelden avenue and cut his own throat and otherwise mutilated his body, killing himself almost instantly. He was lying in the bath tub dead when found by the officers, thus ending one of the worst tragedies that has ever taken place in our community. Mrs. Lillian La Bouf-Mitchell was suing her husband for divorce for cruelty and non-support. Mitchell had sought in vain or a reconciliation with his wife and jealously is no doubt the cause of the awful attempt at murder and suicide. Mrs. La Bouf-Mitchell lies at the hospital and the doctors say she has a possible show of recovery. Mitchell's remains lie at the undertaking parlors and will probably be shipped to his home in Austin, Texas. Mrs. Lillian La Bouf came to our city about two years ago as an elocutionist of considerable ability, giving several recitals here, and the couple were married shortly after her arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were well thought of in our city by all classes. The Woman's M Mt.

Mrs. Anthony Mack has moved into her recently newly-built home in the south part of the city. C. N. Bryant, proprietor of the Occidental cafe, has moved his restaurant to the corner of Third and Silver avenue, where he is nicely prepared to serve the public. C. Ayers, the station agent at Islteta who shot and killed Henry Harrison, a train porter, about four years ago, was brought to trial last week and convicted of murder in the third degree. All the jurymen were Mexicans. It will be remembered that Ayers, who was a recent arrival from Georgia at that time, immediately after the shooting Harrison sent the following telegram to this city: "Just shot nigger; send ambulance to meet the train." Mrs. J. B. Lott, an energetic worker in the Mt. Olive Baptist church, gave a fine supper at her residence last week for the benefit of her church. AMERICA'S GREATEST The appearance of Mr. Geo. I. Holt Thursday, Dec. 10th, at Shorter A. M. E. church, is the second of a series of recitals to be given under the auspices of the Inter-Graduate Association. The aim and object of these recitals is not merely to show off the skill of the performer, but to instruct, entertain and elevate the audience. Having felt for some time that Denver has reached the place that recitals of this character is a needed want, the Inter-Graduate Association, encouraged by the good citizens, is endeavoring to place before the people the best our race affords. When Samuel Coleridge Taylor ,the greatest negro composer the race has yet produced, who ranks with the foremost composers of Europe, and who set Longfellow's "Hiawatha" to music which startled the musical world, paid (Continued on Page 5.) A Gift of Beauty. “Beautiful! beautiful!” has been a cry.on the lips of women since the earliest days. The appeal of beauty to them has perhaps been all the more intense that women have not often been themselves creative artists. The range of feminine pleasure in beauty is a wide one, says the Youth’s Com- panion. It extends from the well- ordered and useful to the most subtle combinations of form and color. It is no impiety that the tempting bread and pies and cakes of the Saturday's baking may waken an emotion akin to that stirred by picture or poem. The pleasure of a bunch of June roses in a cool sitting room is separated by but a step from the joy of the créative imagination as it snatches an elusive melody and fixes it in the memory of the musician. Women’s delight in the beauties of nature is rather modern. Adornment and even reproductive art make appeal somewhat earlier in the history of the individual or of the race than is made by the rugged face of mountains or the expanse of the illimi- table sea. The woman of to-day has come to love every beauty of this love- ly world. The thousand avenues by which beauty reaches the spirit are all open to her. One woman travels; an- other uses the microscope on the calyx of a flower or the wing of a moth; a third studies the cathedral, a fourth the autumn landscape. One country girl rejoices in owning a pho- tograph of a masterpiece of painting ag much as another who, in the hush of the Dresden gallery, gazes into the rapt face of Raphael's matchless Ma- donna. By one voice and another beauty speaks to all. The Farmers’ Improvement commis. sion, appointed by President Roosevelt and of which Prof. Bailey of Ithaca is the head, has started on its career and will begin examinations into condi- tions at once. The first sitting will be held at the Agricultural college of Maryland November 6, and later a series of hearings will be held in various southern states. The ground has been well prepared through circu- lars sent out from Washington through departments which are in touch wiht rural affairs, No less than 600,000 of such letters have been dis tributed, and the result is likely to be a vast amount of information which the commission can obtain and ar- range in the most practical form. President Roosevelt, it is announced, will appoint two additional members, bringing the total to seevn, and the arrangements as perfected indicate that the work will be done thoroughly. David Lubin, formerly of California, has finally won complete success for his longcherished plan to aid agricul- ture in a world-wide way. After ap- pealing in vain to his own government to encourage agriculture by bounties on leading agricultural staples, instead of centinuing a hopeless struggle he changed his base of operations in be- half of agricultural interests and ap- bested to the king of Italy with so THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. much persuasiveness that his recom- mendations were adopted by that monarch much as he made them. The result is the endowment and perma- nent establishment at Rome of the International Institute of Agriculture. The test of its value is shortly to be made. Within a month delegates from 46 nations will meet at the first session of the general assembly of the institute, and working plans will be considered and probably adopted. The echo of the recent expulsion of West Point cadets for hazing was heard when the colleges opened last month and the presidents of a nunrber of institutions warned the students against continuing the practice of haz- ing. The president of one college an- nounced that it must be absolutely stopped; but even so authoritative an announcement as that is sometimes disregarded. Whatever the International Con- gress on Tuberculosis may do for the world, the extent of its problem was set forth on the opening day. Secre- tary Cortelyou, in an address of wel- come, reminded the delegates that tu- berculosis took more lives in this coun- try during the past four years than the number of men killed in the civil war. A device is on exhibition in Toronto for harnessing the waves of the ocean; but if the inventors: really wish to make good, let them tell us the age of the seas by examining the teeth of the storm. “British Columbia never felt better,” says a banker. At the same time, we are inclined to believe the report that the mountains out there are feeling a little Rocky. The penny postage idea has taken a firm hold upon the people of the world and it is sure to become universal be- fore many more years have passed. Fire Menace of Japan. Fires in Japan are so common that this destructive agency has estab- lished itself as a national institution, and a whole vocabulary has grown up {o express every shade of meaning in matters fiery. The Japanese lan- guage has special terms for an incen- diary fire, an accidental fire, fires start- ed from one’s own house, a fire caught from next door, a fire which one shares with others, a fire which is burning to an end, the fiame of a fire, anything— for instance, a brazier, from which a fire may arise; the side from which to attack a fire in order to extinguish it; a visit of condolence after a fire. “The Poor Man’s Cow.” A little book called “The Care for the Goat,” has recently attracted some attention in England. The writer urges that great advantage would be found by small proprietors, laborers and rural residents in keeping goats, “the poor man’s cow.” Goat's milk, he says, often possesses twice the richness of cow's milk, is very valu- able for children, and may be prac- tically guaranteed as free from the bacillus of tuberculosis. Goats are cheap and cheaply kept, since they readily find food, and they demand Iit- tle rou. ee é “The Poor Man’s Cow.” A little book called “The Care for the Goat,” has recently attracted some attention in England.

Represented graphically, the United States now consumes yearly a roll of white paper 830 feet high and 377 feet in diameter. From the top of such a roll of paper one can peer down in imagination on the tower of the new Singer building in New York. It would weigh, all told, about 2,700,- 000 tons, and to produce it would have required some $8,800,000 worth of rags, some $7,400,000 worth of old or waste paper and some $20,800,000 worth of wood pulp, to say nothing of other essentials—Boston Transcript. Ancestors of Present Foxes. K. Toldt of Vienna, has produced wy he and others regard as virtually conclusive evidence that foxes are de- scended from ancestors whose bodies were clothed with horny scales, like those of the pangolins, or scaly ant- eaters. This evidence is based upon the examination of the skins of young foxes, and depends not only upon the arrangement of the hairs, but upon the fact that the skin itself exhibits a structure such as would bd shown by that of a pangolin after the removal of the scales. State Colliery. Owing to the rise in the price of coal, the government of South Aus- tralia have recently concluded nego- tiations for the purchase of 2,500 acres of land in New South Wales, for the purpose of establishing their own mine, About 80 acres have been cleared, a dam has been constructed. and preparations are being made for sinking. This new departure in staie ownership, regarded with misgivings in certain quarters, has given un- bounded satisfaction to the Socialists. Mistake to Work by Poor Lights. It is a great mistake to sew, read or do other close work by artificial light which comes from any distance much above the level of the eye. Use a kerosene or gas lamp, which can be placed at the proper height. To demonstrate the truth of this observa- tion, one has only to sit indoors in the day time and let the light pour through the upper foot or two of the window, keeping the rest of the win- dow securely lightproof.

He came to college without manifest aptitude; the secondary education which might have been a cautious effort to dissect it out or create a substitute buried it deeply under a mass of rubbish. For him freedom means diffusion or superficiality. The elective system tempts him in a different dozen directions; arouses a dozen interests that collapse at the moment when effort or persistence is demanded. This is the meaning of many isolated courses pursued in different departments. The elective system deteriorates into a tickling of the palate. Eventually the boy's real salvation comes, if at all, when, in competition with the uneducated barbarians of the outer world, he faces the alternative of efficiency or starvation. Fresh Water from Ocean. Menama, the principal port of the Bahrein islands, the center of the pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water from the ocean. Visitors often note boats anchored a few hundred yards from the shore, the boatmen engaged in drawing fresh water from springs at the bottom of the sea. These springs well up strongly at a considerable depth and the entire water supply of the town is obtained from them. The fresh water is procured in two ways—either in a goatskin bag, which a diver takes down with him and carefully closes before bringing it to the surface, or by letting down long hollow pipes of bamboo, weighted at the lower end, through which the water rises up uncontaminated to the surface. ```markdown ``` Brief Dinners the Rule. Washington society has achieved the impossible, in that no one with pretensions to inner knowledge of the correct thing will give a dinner party which lasts more than an hour and a half from the moment the cocktails are taken until the men join the women in the drawing room. One hour and three-quarters is the time allotted even to a White House dinner, and the guests of the president, after chatting with the women for 15 minutes, are expected to depart. A big relief this from the old dinner, when folks sat at table from 8 until 11 and then smoked and spun yarns for two hours more. Predict Dismal Days for Housewife. America is not alone in her distress over a decreasing supply of domestic labor. While gaining 3,000,000 households Germany has lost 37,000 in her total number of servants. Distaste for what old-fashioned New Englanders call "house work" grows steadily in classes from which such labor generally comes. We seem to see a distant time when, in the absence of machinery mechanically relieving her, the average housewife will have to be her own "girl." Smallest Newspaper. The smallest newspaper in the world, according to the publisher's statement, appeared a few days ago on the lower east side of New York. It is of the size of a postal card, with one-half on the address side devoted to advertisements, and the "paper" proper printed in small type in Yiddish, under the title the Jester. The name denotes its character, and it contains principally humorous paragraphs, with local, national and international points. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Not Quite Right. A gentleman was traveling by railway in the north of Scotland. When he reached his destination and was leaving the station he discovered that he had left his waterproof in the carriage. He hurried back as the train was leaving and shouted: "Is there a black mackintosh in here?" "No," answered one of the passengers—"they are all sandy Macgregors here!" Moors and Civilization. The Moors occupied Spain from 711 to 1492 A. D. During the first four centuries of their control of the Spanish peninsula they excelled all the nations of northern Europe in science, literature and the arts. Area of English Channel. The English channel at its east end is 21 miles broad, and at its west extremity it is from 100 to 110 miles wide. The greatest breadth is between Sidmouth and St. Malo, 150 miles. Man. Some men not being satisfied with their naturally ugly faces insist upon whistling on the street.—Atchison Globe. Railroad Brings Tranquillity. A German geographer named Kaiser who has just returned from his second visit to British East Africa is much impressed with the effect of the Uganda railroad upon the natives along the line. He says he scarcely recognized them as the same beings he met there 11 years ago. At that time he would not have dared risk his life in the Guasso-Ngishu highlands, but last winter he wandered over them for seven weeks with only half a dozen men to carry his luggage, undisturbed by fears of violence. Woman Known as Sailors' Friend. Miss Josephine R. Upham has just accepted the post of woman missionary and organist in the new American Seamen's Friend Society Institute in West street, New York city. She has had 15 years' experience in the work for seamen and comes direct from the Sailors' Haven, Boston. She is known personally to sailors from every part of the world, who speak and look upon her as their friend. Her influence with men with whom she comes in contact is very great. Ingenious Ponies. A rather curious habit has been developed by Mexican ponies in connection with the cactus thorns. When these creatures are thirsty, it is said that before attempting to put their mouths to the prickly plant, they will first of all stand and kick at the cactus with their heels. By this means the thorns are broken and the leathery skin bruised, and so the ponies can drink their fill of the cool juice without injury.—The Sunday Strand. ```markdown ``` J. WINSTON BAILEY, OPT.

Thanksgiving Day was celebrated for various reasons by various persons last Thursday. Many were thankful because of the reunion of their friends, some because of financial gain, and others because of social advantages. With the table groaning with toothsome delicacies and placed at each plate a swell souvenir of the occasion, while the beautiful American Beauties were giving forth their sweet smelling fragrance, Mr. Holley, with a broad smile of greeting welcomed his friends to his festive board of refreshments. In a short speech of good cheer, the host made his guests feel the power of his words, to which Mrs. Lillian Jones was chosen to respond and beyond the expectation of all and much to her own surprise, she made the speech of the evening. Dr. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Chas. Casey, Mrs. Lottie Holley and Mrs. Nancy Holley were also present. The event will long be remembered for the lively time, funny jokes and original wit displayed. Mr. and Mrs. Croghn were elaborately entertained Thanksgiving at the residence of Mrs. Rachael Haskins on Welton street. Miss Ida Gatewood is visiting friends in our city for a few days. GOOD CITIZEN GONE TO The sad news of the death of Thomas J. Manley was received Monday morning from Colorado Springs. Mr. Manley was well known in Denver, as he is one of Colorado's oldest pioneers, he having been here some 25 years. He leaves a wife and son to mourn his loss. He was very high up in secret fraternities. The Colorado Springs Gazette says: PIONEER HOTEL PORTER DIES. T. J. Manley, Well Known to Traveling Men ,Passes Away After Brief Illness. A familiar figure around the hotels of Colorado Springs from the earliest history of the city, T. J. Manley, colored, aged 57 years, porter at the Alta vista hotel, died yesterday morning at 6:45 o'clock in his home, 311 East Costilla street, after an illness of a month's duration. He is survived by his widow and a son, Lorenzo J. Manley. The funeral will be held from the A. M. E. church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, under auspices of Mike's Peak Lodge No. 5. Interment will be at Evergreen cemetery. In his career as a hotel porter in Colorado Springs and Manitou since 1872. T. J. Manley became well known to thousands of prominent persons whom he had served. He was proud of the fact that he was on speaking terms with many of the noted men of the United States and Europe. T. J. Manley was a member of Pike's Peak Lodge No. 5 and of the A. M. E. church. See Future Profitable Industry The bureau of science, Manila, has published a bulletin by Warren D. Smith, chief of the division of geology and mines, and members of that staff, on the mineral resources of the islands and their product in 1907. It is believed that a sure, profitable and steady mining industry may in time be built up in the colony, but this report shows that little more than a beginning has yet been made. MRS. CHILDS MRS.

The doctor, who is a specialist of some sort, says he considers $500 a visit a reasonable charge. The case is now in court and the horror of the defendant's lawyers, who will each ask a thousand dollars an hour for their services without batting an eye, may be imagined. The president of the first international congress to discuss moral education in the schools, which was held in London last month, said that the world was deeply indebted to the educational thought and experiment of the United States. It has been a national boast that the American schools strive to teach good morals as well as correct history and arithmetic, and it pleasant to have their efforts thus recognized. A biography of the late Dr. Gilman, formerly president of Johns Hopkins university, says he "knew everything and yet was not a specialist in any line." He would probably have met the requirements of the writer of a current magazine article who complains about the prevalence of specialization and its evils.

G Undertaker a A Missourian who has just been sentenced to a prison term of three years for having four wives at one time, with none of them divorced, offered the excuse that his memory was bad and that he could not always remember whether he was married or not.

It is necessary now to look both ways for automobiles when you start to cross the road. When aeroplanes get to be common, it will be necessary also to look up. Western farmers will get about $135,000,000 for their crops this season, and expect to spend the long winter evenings lighting their pipes with dollar bills.

Neither in scholarship nor in fitness for the business of life does the product of the great colleges of the present day compare with the graduates turned out from the little colleges of a generation ago. Then, it is true, the boy with the diploma was often too stuffed with Latin and Greek and philosophy to be much of a practical man; now he knows a little about manners, more about clothes, something about "grinds," "peaches" and "profs," but the sumum bonum of his knowledge relates to drop kicks and line bucking. The old type was better, says the Washington Post, because, though impractical, he had a trained mind and was inured to discipline, whereas the new product has gotten most of his training in the ways of a good time. College life is, or should be, a period of training which prepares the youth for the business of a broader life. It will not do to cultivate exclusively the superficialities, which the atmosphere at most of the larger universities is doing. One of the reasons why men who come up from rude walks of life without the benefits of education frequently outstrip the college graduates is because such men have trained their powers through hard work, while the college man has vitiated his talents through overmuch play. The bureau of engraving and printing at Washington has completed designs by Postmaster General Meyer for a new issue of United States postage stamps. It is expected that shipments to postmasters will commence some time in November. The new issue has been designed with the object of obtaining the greatest simplicity commensurate with artistic results. The profile has been taken in each instance, giving a bas-relief effect. All the stamps are of a similar design, containing a head in an ellipse, the only decoration being laurel leaves on either side of the ellipse. The lettering is in straight lines, at the top being "U. S. Postage" and at the bottom the words "Two Cents." The one-cent stamp contains the head of Franklin, while all the others will bear that of Washington, taken from busts by Houdon. The color are the reds and blues of the early stamps. Director Ralph of the bureau of engraving and printing regards the new stamp as the most artistic ever issued by the government. The recently published batch of letters which Richard Mansfield wrote to his little son place the father in a most charming light. The whole aspect of Mansfield's nervous temperament changes under the illumination, and the reader regrets any misjudgment he may have formed of the actor during the rush and grind of a professional career, as he realizes the exquisiteness tenderness which this child drew forth. You did not believe Mansfield had it in him, to be such a father but then, George Gibbs Mansfield is no common boy. It is a beautiful memory for the son, and parenthood was the most valuable asset in the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens. A professor in the Andover Theological seminary once met a man going to the town meeting. Said the professor: "What are they going to bring up at the meeting to-day, Brown?" Brown replied, with a snarl: "I dunno what they're goin' to bring up, but whatever it is, I'm goin' to oppose it." The zeal of this particular citizen was of questionable advantage to his town. Some so-called reformers have a spirit unfortunately similar, says a writer in Appleton's Magazine. An Irish teamster in a certain New England town hires a man to drive for him whenever the license question is put to vote. He takes the whole day off. He votes no license himself. He gets as many others as he can to vote the same way. A gentleman asked him one day why he took so much trouble. He answered: "Me boy died of rum an' I do what I can to keep other folks' boys from dying the same way." This ignorant teamster is a citizen of the highest type. A gentleman of high standing in the same community boasted that he never voted at local elections. He said: "Why should I go through the farce of casting my ballot? This town is run by a lot of low and corrupt politicians. My vote doesn't count. I've no time for sentimental shams." This scholarly gentleman is a citizen of the lowest type. He is stupidly selfish. Were he intelligently selfish, he would protect his interests as a citizen just as he protects his professional interests. According to an English newspaper Aldershot has been much excited over the death of a cat, and there will probably be much conversation between the Scots Guards and the North Staffordshires. The colonel commanding the latter was riding down the lines of the Scots Guards with two fox terriers. There was a bit of a tiff between the dogs and the cat with three kittens, and the colonel threatened to kill the cat. The cat was caught, but escaped from the hands of three drummers of the Scots Guards, who were looking after their pets. The colonel dismounted, caught the cat in the fork of a tree and killed it with his riding whip. The case against the colonel was preferred by the S. P. C. A. The Aldershot magistrates who refused to convict the colonel said in effect: "Guilty, but don't do it again!" Now the question which agitates the royal long-named society is, what would have happened if a drummer had killed the colonel's fox terrier. Which was the agressor? Clergy Forbidden Use of Bicycles. Clergy Forbidden Use of Bicycles. Cardinal Couillie, archbishop of Lyons, has issued a stern prohibition against the priests and clerical students of his diocese riding bicycles, holding that the practice is contrary to the gravity of the priestly calling and distinction of conduct which should mark the clergy. An appeal to Rome, it is believed, would be fruitless, for Pius X., when he was Cardinal Sarto and bishop of Mantua, took the same step forbidding clergy the use of bicycles.

WALTER EAST Phone:1461 --- Cheap Power Production. What is probably the best record of steam power efficiency of which there is any record is reported in the test of a new type of engine which originates in Darmstadt. The particular engine under test had a capacity of 100 effective horse power. The steam consumption per effective horse power was determined as 8.6 pounds, and the coal consumption as 1.04 pounds. Figuring on coal as costing five dollars a ton in the particular locality, the fuel cost per horse power comes out as low as 0.22 of a cent an hour. The figures were compiled by Prof. Guttermuth of Darmstadt. Laws in Direct Conflict. The club women of Chicago are puzzled over the question of a lawful costume for working women. They point out that only a little while ago a woman in Chicago was arrested and fined for wearing trousers while earning an honest living as a hod carrier. Now they are informed that there has been a ruling in the post office department holding that women employed as mail carriers must wear trousers. There is a movement on foot to send a delegation to Washington for the purpose of consulting President Roosevelt on the subject. The Struggle for Liberty. What you call liberty, I call liberties; and what I call the struggle for liberty is nothing but the constant, living assimilation of the idea of freedom. He who possesses liberty otherwise than as a thing to be striven for, possesses it dead and soulless; for the idea of liberty has undoubtedly this characteristic, that it develops steadily during its assimilation. So that a man who stops in the midst of the struggle and says, "Now I have it!" thereby shows that he has lost it.— Henrik Ibsen. Life's Most Important Factor.

DELICATESSBN 2300-6 Larimer St. Real Friendship. Azy friendship that is worth the name is not a matter of reason or choice, but rather of magnetism and temperament. It can bear almost everything of friction, jar, annoyance or pain, and still spring up again with renewed vitality. It may not only spring up with renewed vitality from experiences that would annihilate any lesser bond, but the renewal may be regeneration as well, and transmute it into an infinitely higher condition. Sown in weakness, it may be raised in power. Students Wear Mustaches. At the University of Pennsylvania mustaches have again come into style, according to the Philadelphia Record. "Yes, a fellow isn't in it this fall without a mustache," said a varsity senior. "You see, a great many of the boys have been over in Europe this summer, and the hirsute adornment is all the rage among the swells on the other side just now. Of course, we college boys have to keep in the swim, so that is why you see all this sprouting down on the campus." Seek Aid of Government. The Society of German Engineers at its annual convention held in Dresden empowered its officers to negotiate with representatives of the Prussian government of the German federation to make arrangements for the bringing out of the Technolexikon, which the society was forced to give up about a year ago, on account of the great scope of the work, involving expenditures greater than the society thought it could consistently make. Defenda Red-Haired Girl. Elinor Glyn says that red-haired girls are always unhappy, and as her own hair is said to be as near red as possible, she no doubt speaks from experience. Other women, however, are not inclined to agree with Mrs. Glyn, and declare that no red-haired women really believes her hair to be red, but is fully satisfied within her own consciousness that it is the most beautiful shade of auburn.

Thanksgiving day was the day of events for the young Denver Misses as it was completely filled with parties, dinners and receptions.

All the Churches Observe Day—Social Events Galore. At Zion Baptist church Thursday night there was an experience that it will take days to repeat, because of the peculiar kind of merriment and entertainment. With Miss Boalware, Mr. Pearl Porter, Mrs. Lillian Jones and Miss Virgle Webster taking part on the program and reinforced by Rev. G. W. Harts of California, the program of that evening and its success is already foretold by the mere naming of the participants. Space and time prevent personal mention of all of the performers, but suffice to say that Zion Baptist church gave one of her old characteristic successes with its attending trimmings. One dollar for admission on Thanksgiving night, with snow on the ground, did not damped the ardor or force the absence of any of the young people from the last "Leap Year Social" of the year. The features of the evening were the exchange of husbands and wives by certain couples of the church. Judging from the way money was spent, the wives were the better spenders and more careful and solicitious of attention on the part of looking after her guest than men ever dare be. It was a royal night, royally spent amidst the royalties. Too bad Zion cannot repeat it soon. Miss Geraldine Troutman had a few o. her many friends to dinner Thanksgiving. Rev. E. H. Murphy, pastor of Ward church, preached a very scholarly, spiritual, historical Thanksgiving sermon at Shorter Thanksgiving Day. The reverend is certainly a power and merits the support of this entire community. He is a man of power and ability and for that reason Denver welcomes him with outstretched arms. GEO. I. HOLT COMING! (Continued from Page 1.) his recent visit to America, he selected from a number of tenors Mr. Geo. I. Holt to do the solo work in his master work, "Hiawatha." The following are a partial list of extracts from Eastern criticisms, so the Inter-graduate Association, in presenting Mr. Holt to a Denver audience, feel secure in their position: The tenor, Mr. Geo. I. Holt, possesses a voice of rarely sympathetic quality and extended range, and his delivery of the difficult Coleridge-Taylor compositions stamp him an artist worthy of the music and created a desire on the part of those heard him to hear him again-Washington (D.C.) Sta3. The feature of the evening was the singing of Mr. Geo. I. Holt, tenor, who carried off the honors. His voice is one of of unusual purity, range and his renditions were notable for their warmth and musical beauty. -Chicago Inter-Ocean. UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Ward.

The decorations of gold and brown leaves on a brilliantly lighted table, with the glass and silverware gleaming and refracting the various rays of light, gave a regal and an inviting appearance to Vivian Jones' collation. The program, consisting of tiny tots, wee, wee tads, and infant toodleums, was rendered in such a high-class manner to have reflected honor and credit upon their seniors. The decided hits of the evening were the songs, "Gee, I Wish I Had a Beau," by Vivian Jones and "I've Said My Last Farewell (Bop, toot) Goodbye," by Cuthbert Byrd and Miss Anderson. In the former, as little as she was, Vivian put so much fervor and feeling in the piece with her tiny voice which touched the hearts of the big boys and her appeal quickly met the responses of volunteer sweethearts. While Miss Anderson on her knees, with outstretched hands, was pleading for rebellious Cuthbert not to leave her, when Cuthbert with bag in hand, cap on head, a mean frown on his face, with a chilly coldness, cast aside her warm pleas. Then the recitation by Tommie Harris, "Pumpkin Pie"; the song, "Donie I Love You," by Fay Anderson, and "Honey Boy," by Mazelma Stell, surely made everybody wish her to be theirs. So small was she that she had to be held to the audience while she had to be held up to --- I. I. HOLT NOR M. E. Church hington Streets VE'G, DEC. 10 8.15 the audience while she sang. Jennie Harris fearlessly recited a very appropriate piece, while Helen Martin, the best infant pianist of Colorado, delighted her audience with "Black Joe" with variations in color shading. Cuthbert Byrd had a "drum solo," and showed how soldier boys go to war. The lowest solo ever heard in Shorter was sung when Marie Lyles never uttered a word, merely worked her lips, while the house nearly went wild. "School Days Backward" was sung by the chorus with their backs to the audience. It took Bessie Troutman to put the finishing touches on the evening by her repeated sweet and pathetic singing. She received many encores. On the whole a delightful evening spent and a financial success was the consequence. The affair only shows what careful and tedious work had been done by Mrs. Hicks in the successful preparation of the children for the event.

Every Russian house, however humble, has one or more constantly used samovars, or hot-water urns, and Consul Ragsdale, at St. Petersburg, in a report, suggests that they might be introduced into the United States with success. The Russian breakfast is tea and rolls, sometimes with butter and jam added. Gift Pearl in the Mouth. What luck some people have! I was eating oysters the other day next a man who suddenly made a face and uttered a cry of irritation, and then extracted a pearl from his mouth. "Confound the thing!" he said, "it nearly broke my tooth. I'm always finding them."—V. V. V., in London The "Eternal Feminine." Among some African tribes, when a man professes his love for a woman and asks her in marriage, she invariably refuses him at first lest it should appear that she had been thinking of him and was eager to become his wife! By so doing she maintains the modesty of her sex, as well as tests the love and abases the pride of her lover.—London Wide World Magazine. Just as the florists do wonderful things in developing flowers, so do the French manufacturers, who are now turning out artificial roses and dahlias that measure from eight to ten inches in diameter, a single "bloom" covering the crown of the latest Paris hat. To imitate a flower on that scale is a task for an artist; but it is said that the new creations look very natural, especially in the milliner's bill. Minister Wu in a recent address said he had been accused of asking too many questions, but contracted the habit because reporters when he first landed gave him a wrong impression of the country. He has thus annexed one trait of American public men: When in trouble from indiscreet utterances, blame the reporters. The fleet will spend a month in the Mediterranean on its way home, according to the present program. Europe, as well as Asia, Africa, Australia and South America, will thus have had an opportunity to learn more about the quality of the American navy than they knew before. Through the beneficence of Benjamin Franklin, 300 men and boys, eager to become better craftsmen, were last month admitted to the classes of the new Franklin Union in Boston. One of the greatest of Franklin's traits was his ability to look ahead. Reports from the colleges throughout the country show that the entering class is larger than usual. The panic does not seem to have affected the ability of parents to give an education to their sons and daughters. Of the 245 members of the Vermont house of representatives 228 are farmers. That's a good deal better than having a majority of lawyers. Now it is a]New Jersey fish store clerk who, while opening oysters, has found a $200 pearl. Walter! A dozen on the shell! THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Judge Mayer Sulzberger, president of the American Jewish committee, says of the letter addressed by the secretary of state to Mr. Jacob H. Schiff: "The letter of Secretary Root is the most important advance that has been made by our government to protect the rights of Jewish citizens of this country in Russia. For 40 years there has been more or less diplomatic writing ending in nothing practical. At last Secretary Root has boldly taken the position that Russia must observe the treaty of 1832, or otherwise this government will terminate it and the treaty of 1887, and thus leave Russia and ourselves without any treaty. The letter of Mr. Root shows all this. Though veiled in the polite phraseology of diplomatic intercourse, it is perfectly plain to the Russian government. I think that this is the beginning of the end of the passport question, which is big with possibilities for the benefit not only of American Jews, but also Jews in Russia. The country owes a debt of gratitude to President Roosevelt, to Secretary Root and to the whole administration for their manly insistence on the rights of American Jews." Astronomers are beginning to interest themselves in the reappearance of Halley's comet. This is the famous comet that blazed through the heavens in 1456, at about the time the Turks became masters of Constantinople. In those times it was thought that comets portended disaster, and the good people of Christian Europe inserted a prayer in their liturgy that they might be saved from "the devil, the Turk and the comet." In 1680 Edmund Halley, an English astronomer, predicted the reappearance of the comet of 1456, and conjectured that it was the same as that which had been seen in 1531 and 1607. His prediction was verified in 1682, and the comet has since been known by his name. It is next due some time between 1910 and 1912, as it last visited the solar system in 1835, and has a period of about 76 years. Of the short period comets, Halley's takes the longest to complete its orbit. The comet of 1844 has so great an orbit that it is estimated that its visits to our system occur at intervals of a hundred thousand years. One expects better things from an emperor than to set an evil example to his people. The German emperor, nevertheless, appears to be guilty. When he visited the North Cape, the most northerly point of Europe, a few summers ago, the desire to record his visit led him to order the name of his yacht, the Hohenzollern, to be painted in letters 15 feet long on the rocky cliff which forms the face of the cape. Various German shipping firms which carry tourists to the cape were quick to seize the example by painting the names of their vessels. Commercial houses followed, and now the face of North Cape is said to be a huge advertising sign-board.

Beginning Monday, Dec. 14th and concluding Saturday, Dec. 19th, the International Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will have its tuberculosis exhibit at the Tuskegee Institute. The program to be followed will without elaboration or magnifying approximately follow the program outlined for the recent International Congress on Tuberculosis held at Washington, D. C. In other words a negro congress on tuberculosis, or consumption, will be held for the study and prevention of the dreaded disease. The program will include the general features of the Washington program. Meetings of ministers, of representatives of Colored Young Men's Christian Associations, Colored Young Women's Christian Associations, of colored women's clubs, etc., will be held. These meetings will be in addition to the lectures to the people generally. Local committees have been appointed for the purpose of making plans for the exhibit, and a strong effort will be made to secure the attendance and the help of the strongest medical forces among the negro people of the country. All organizations and institutions of learning are urged and invited to send delegates to the meetings at Tuskegee. The full tuberculosis exhibit, as it has been set up at different points throughout the country, will be arranged in commodious quarters on the grounds of the Tuskegee Institute. Persons intending to be present are urged to send notice of such intention to Dr. John A. Kenney, secretary of the Local committee, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. We sometimes receive news matter from correspondent sobadly written that it cannot be read and perforce we throw it away. Delicacy prevents us from writing such persons and telling them individually what is the matter, but we hope this general hint will cause all to look to their writing, and then those who are the worst offenders will no longer see their matter omitted because it is illegible. ENCOURAGEMENT HELPS. Ft. Morgan, Colo., Nov. 29, 1908. My Dear Franklin: I want to congratulate you on your editorials of late as they are most timely.

Protection is the one word, and a man dying who had a thousand dollars coming to his family from such a source has done well. For 16 years I have carried two such policies in the New York Life and I always felt my family was pretty safe. Now they are grown up and I am in a large property deal here and I want some more, so my wife can be safe. Few of our people give this class of commodity any thought and therefore do not realize that the day they can insure will pass and once refused as a bad risk it is indeed hard to get a second hearing and the one thing our people must be impressed with is: DO IT NOW. I will renew my subscription about Jan. 1st. Respectfully yours, JNO. G. SMITH. Box 47. GUNNISON, COLO., NEWS.

Y. P. Your Headquarters 1909 DENVER ITEMS Brought Home the Bacon Poor Jack's Minstrels ought hereafter be known by another name, for they were anything but poor. After the first 15 minutes of the overture, it was a common expression in the audience that already they had their money's worth. Well might it be so, for there were assembled in the personnel of the "Mighty Modern Minstrels" men who have worn burnt cork from coast to coast and traveled with the best aggregations ever on the road. The production Thursday night at East Turner hall, with this class of material, could not have been other than first-class. It was satisfying, it was funny, it was at times sublime in the rendition of solos and chorus work. A better blending of sweet harmony has never appeared on the local stage than was presented in the chorus work of this show. As a result of the exceptional production and the success with which it met on this initial appearance, the company is invited to appear at the Democratic club before a white audience. It is also contemplated to make trips to nearby towns and the first nighters of Thursday may have witnessed what will be a premier minstrel of the American stage. Everyone looked for a good show and got it A word for the "financial party" of the show is not amiss. J. M. Johnson, otherwise known as "Poor Jack," is the keeper of our only cigar store and news stand. He is a prince of good fellows and upon his personal recommendation the show was accepted at par before produced, though now many are free to claim it should be at a premium. Associated with him in a managerial way is the stage manager, Ed. Howard. He is a finished performer and need never be ashamed of his own appearance on the stage, nor of his ideas and style of production if last night is a fair criterion. Prof. R. G. Holley, musical director, is late of Meharry world-famous minstrels. The playing of the orchestra was a revelation to Denver audiences. It was tuneful and well modulated to the singing, which, by the way, was good enough to go anywhere. Hattle McDaniels, our own Denver girl, brought down the house in Baby Doll. Nettle Howard is a singer of merit and a danssee par excellence. "Daniel" can become a second Daniel, for all who heard her. Sweet sentiment was lent to the evening by the singing of Mr. Wolfskill and Miss Fitzpatrick, both performers too good to miss. We won't attempt to speak of Dick Thomas, better known as Happy Dick. 'To be appreciated he needs to be seen. He is as good as the best. It is a rare piece of good fortune to have him in the company. He i sa scream. He is funny from his entrance to his exit. The audience waits to greet him. It hates to see him go. On the other end is George Elkins, who improves with each appearance. Our old favorite, Otis McDaniel, is perennially pleasing. The cake walk takes one back to the good old days. But why try to tell all the excellencies. If you saw the show you know them better than we can tell them. If you did not, go if you ever get the chance again. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. TO SARAH THORNTON HUBBARD Who Died at Denver, Colo., March 31, 1907, by Her Devoted Husband, Rev. Jas. H. Hubbard. Brief were the years we journey together. Labor was pleasant, duty was right. Hand in hand, amid sunshine and storm, We labored and stood in the thick of the fight. In life's ceaseless conflict, a true heroine. Undaunted amid all cares interposed; Fearless and trusting, on God relying, Pressing onward and upward, in face of the foes. Serene was the morning we bid thee adieu, To meet on the unseen shore. You left clouds and darkness, and found a bright clime, Where sorrow and tears are no more. That bright Easter morning. When angels were chanting the praises of Him who arose from the dead. From those you loved dearly your freed spirit wended Blithesome birds will sing thy requiem! Flowers bloom above thy grave. In our hearts forlorn we are trusting In the arm that is mighty and strong to save. THE SICK MADE WELL WITH MAGNETIC HEALING. 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 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 wongerful 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.
